Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Steckdose für eine elektrische Steckverbindung, insbesondere für den elektrischen Anschluss von Kraftfahrzeuganhängern an einem Zugfahrzeug, mit einem Dosengehäuse und einem darin aufgenommenen, Kontakte enthaltenden Kontaktträgereinsatz.The invention relates to a socket for an electrical connector, in particular for the electrical connection of motor vehicle trailers to a towing vehicle, with a socket housing and a contact carrier insert received therein, containing contacts.

Als Zubehörteil für die Automobilindustrie besteht ein hoher Bedarf an einfacher Montage und zuverlässiger Funktion. Dabei soll insbesondere die Dichtheit des Kontaktbereiches gewährleistet sein, um das Einbringen von Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz, insbesondere in Form von Spritzwasser, zu vermeiden.As an accessory for the automotive industry, there is a high demand for easy assembly and reliable function. In particular, the tightness of the contact area should be ensured in order to avoid the introduction of moisture and dirt, especially in the form of splashing water.

Aus der EP 0 834 960 A2 (Erich Jaeger) ist bspw. eine Steckdose der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, wobei ein sogenannter Kontakteinsatz einen Kontaktträgereinsatz und einen diesen aufnehmenden, in dem Dosengehäuse einrastbaren oder mit diesem verbundenen Stützkörper, z.B. mit einer Abdichtung gegen das Dosengehäuse aufweist, und wobei der Kontaktträgereinsatz in den bereits in das Dosengehäuse eingerasteten oder mit diesem fest verbundenen Stützkörper einrastbar ist. Dosengehäuse und Kontaktträgereinsatz sind also miteinander verrastet. Derartige Verrastungseinrichtungen erfordern eine hohe Passgenauigkeit, um einen spielfreien Sitz der Teile gegeneinander zu erreichen und dabei insbesondere die erforderliche Dichtigkeit mit hinreichendem Anpressdruck zu erzielen.From EP 0 834 960 A2 (Erich Jaeger), for example, a socket of the aforementioned type is known, wherein a so-called contact insert a contact carrier insert and this receiving, engageable in the socket housing or connected to this support body, e.g. having a seal against the socket housing, and wherein the contact carrier insert is latched into the already locked in the socket housing or fixedly connected to this support body. Can body and contact carrier insert are thus locked together. Such Verrastungseinrichtungen require a high accuracy of fit to achieve a backlash-free fit of the parts against each other and in particular to achieve the required tightness with sufficient contact pressure.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Beseitigung bzw. wenigstens Verringerung der oben genannten, aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Nachteile.The object of the invention is the elimination or at least reduction of the abovementioned disadvantages known from the prior art.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Steckdose der eingangs genannten Art bspw. im Wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, dass der Kontaktträgereinsatz für die Montage über seinen Umfang verteilte Bajonettführungen aufweist, in welche an dem Dosengehäuse z.B. nach innen vorspringende Bajonettnocken eingreifen. Kontaktträgereinsatz und Dosengehäuse werden also mittels Bajonettverriegelung miteinander verbunden, so dass eine zuverlässige und einfache Montage von Kontaktträgereinsatz und Dosengehäuse bei guter Abdichtung erfolgt.The object is according to the invention in a socket of the type mentioned, for example, essentially solved in that the contact carrier insert for mounting over its circumference distributed bayonet guides, in which on the socket housing, for example. engage inwardly projecting bayonet cams. Contact carrier insert and socket housing are thus connected to each other by means of bayonet locking, so that a reliable and easy installation of contact carrier insert and socket housing takes place with good sealing.

Zur Codierung können die Bajonettführungen und die zugehörigen Bajonettnocken ungleichmäßig bzw. unsymmetrisch über den Umfang des Kontaktträgereinsatzes bzw. des Dosengehäuses verteilt sein. So lässt sich der Kontaktträgereinsatz nur in einer bestimmten Orientierung mit dem Dosengehäuse verriegeln.For coding, the bayonet guides and the associated bayonet cams can be distributed unevenly or asymmetrically over the circumference of the contact carrier insert or of the socket housing. Thus, the contact carrier insert can only lock in a specific orientation with the socket housing.

Dieses Ziel kann auch dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Bajonettführungen und die zugehörigen Bajonettnocken unterschiedlich breit bzw. dick sind, so dass jeweils nur ein bestimmter Bajonettnockentyp zu einem bestimmten Bajonettführungstyp passt.This goal can also be achieved by making the bayonet guides and the associated bayonet cams of different widths and thicknesses so that only one particular type of bayonet cot fits for a particular type of bayonet guide.

Es wird weiterhin erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, die Bajonettführungen an einem gegenüber dem übrigen Teil des Kontaktträgereinsatzes gesondert verdrehbaren Bajonettring vorzusehen, welcher vorzugsweise in seiner Anfangs- und/oder Endstellung gegenüber dem Dosengehäuse lösbar verrastet ist. Dies erleichtert die Montage noch weiter.It is further proposed according to the invention to provide the bayonet guides on a relative to the remaining part of the contact carrier insert separately rotatable bayonet ring, which is preferably releasably latched in its initial and / or end position relative to the socket housing. This facilitates assembly even further.

In Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgedankens kann der Kontaktträgereinsatz mittels einer als Lochplatte für die Durchführung von Anschlussdrähten ausgebildeten Bodenplatte versehen sein, an welcher sich die Kontakte bzw. die Dichtelemente für die Aufnahmekanäle abstützen können.In a further development of the inventive idea, the contact carrier insert can be provided by means of a base plate designed as a perforated plate for the passage of connecting wires, on which the contacts or the sealing elements for the receiving channels can be supported.

Dies geschieht vorteilhafterweise dadurch, dass die Bodenplatte gegenüber dem Kontaktträgereinsatz verdrehbar oder verschiebbar ist. Bei der Montage fluchten zunächst die Löcher in der Bodenplatte mit den Eintrittsöffnungen der Aufnahmekanäle. Sind die Kontakte und die Dichtelemente bei bereits vormontierter Bodenplatte in die Aufnahmekanäle eingefügt, wird die Bodenplatte geringfügig gegenüber dem Kontaktträgereinsatz verdreht, so dass die Kontakte bzw. die Dichtelemente nicht mehr aus den Aufnahmekanälen austreten können, sondern abgestützt sind.This is advantageously done by the fact that the bottom plate is rotatable or displaceable relative to the contact carrier insert. During assembly, first the holes in the bottom plate are aligned with the inlet openings of the receiving channels. If the contacts and the sealing elements are inserted into the receiving channels with the base plate already preassembled, the base plate is slightly rotated relative to the contact carrier insert so that the contacts or the sealing elements can no longer emerge from the receiving channels but are supported.

Zur Sicherheit kann die Bodenplatte gegenüber dem Kontaktträgereinsatz in wenigstens einer Endstellung, vorzugsweise in der Öffnungsstellung und in der Verschlussstellung, z.B. mittels Rasthaken, verrastbar sein.For safety, the bottom plate opposite the contact carrier insert in at least one end position, preferably in the open position and in the closed position, e.g. be latched by means of latching hooks.

Es wird dabei vorgeschlagen, dass die Bodenplatte ein Griffstück für das Verdrehen oder Verschieben gegenüber dem Kontaktträgereinsatz und - wenn die Bodenplatte ihre Verschlussstellung erreicht hat - auch für das Verdrehen des dann mitgenommenen Kontaktträgereinsatzes gegenüber dem Dosengehäuse hat.It is proposed that the bottom plate has a handle for twisting or moving relative to the contact carrier insert and - when the bottom plate has reached its closed position - also for the rotation of the then entrained contact carrier insert relative to the socket housing.

Wenn gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsart der Erfindung die Bodenplatte mit einer Zunge in eine Ausnehmung des Kontaktträgereinsatzes hineinragt und einen Abschnitt einer der Bajonettführungen nachbildet, derart, dass in Offenstellung der Bodenplatte die betreffende Bajonettführung gesperrt, in Verschlussdreh- bzw. -schiebestellung der Bodenplatte die betreffende Bajonettführung dagegen freigegeben ist, ist sichergestellt, dass der Kontaktträgereinsatz nur in das Dosengehäuse montiert werden kann, wenn sich die Bodenplatte zur Sicherung der Kontakte in der verriegelten Drehstellung befindet.If, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the bottom plate protrudes with a tongue in a recess of the contact carrier insert and a portion of one of the bayonet guides simulates such that locked in the open position of the bottom plate bayonet guide in question, in closing rotation or -schiebestellung the bottom plate the bayonet guide in question is released, it is ensured that the contact carrier insert can only be mounted in the socket housing when the bottom plate is to secure the contacts in the locked rotational position.

Eine Vereinfachung und Verbesserung der Abdichtung des Kontaktinnenraumes kann dadurch erzielt werden, dass eine vorzugsweise einstückige Dichtung, welche zur Abdichtung sowohl gegen den Kontaktträgereinsatz als auch gegen einen eingesteckten Stecker bestimmt und geeignet ist, vorgesehen ist. Auf diese Weise wird für die rückwärtige und vorderseitige Abdichtung des Kontaktträgereinsatzes bei eingestecktem Stecker nur eine einzige Dichtung benötigt, welche einfach montiert werden kann.A simplification and improvement of the sealing of the contact interior can be achieved by providing a preferably one-piece seal which is intended and suitable for sealing both against the contact carrier insert and against an inserted plug. In this way, only a single seal is required for the rear and front sealing of the contact carrier insert when plugged in, which can be easily mounted.

Dieses geschieht vorzugsweise dadurch, dass die Dichtung als an der Innenwand des Dosengehäuses umlaufende Ringdichtung ausgebildet ist.This is preferably done in that the seal is designed as a circumferential on the inner wall of the socket housing ring seal.

Hierbei kann die Dichtung gegen eine an dem Kontaktträgereinsatz vorgesehene Schulter als auch - nach eingestecktem Stecker - gegen eine stirnseitig vorgesehene Fläche des Steckers anliegen.In this case, the seal against a provided on the contact carrier insert shoulder as well - after inserted plug - abut against a frontally provided surface of the plug.

Konstruktiv einfach ist dies insbesondere dadurch zu verwirklichen, dass das Dosengehäuse eine an der Innenwand umlaufende Rippe aufweist, auf welcher die Dichtung aufgenommen ist. Die Dichtung kann dabei als Ringdichtung mit U-Profil-förmigem Querschnitt ausgebildet sein, welche auf die Rippe aufgezogen wird.This is particularly simple in terms of design in that the socket housing has a rib which runs around the inner wall and on which the seal is received. The seal may be formed as a ring seal with U-shaped cross-section, which is mounted on the rib.

Um zu vermeiden, dass im Bereich der Aufnahme Kanäle der Kontakte Feuchtigkeit oder Schmutz in den Kontaktträgereinsatz eintreten kann, können die Aufnahmekanäle des Kontaktträgereinsatzes anschlussseitig, z.B. mittels stopfenartiger Dichtelemente, abgedichtet sein, welche gleichzeitig die Abstützung der Kontakte nach hinten unterstützen.In order to prevent channels of the contacts from entering the contact carrier insert in the region of the receptacle, the receiving channels of the contact carrier insert can be connected on the connection side, e.g. be sealed by means of plug-like sealing elements, which at the same time support the support of the contacts to the rear.

Unabhängig von ihrer Abstützung können die Kontakte in ihren Aufnahmekanälen, z.B. mittels Rastbeinchen, einrastbar sein.Regardless of their support, the contacts in their receiving channels, for example by means of Rastbeinchen, can be latched.

Von Vorteil ist es ferner, wenn an ein Dosengehäuse einstückig ein Halter angeformt ist zur Befestigung an einer Montagefläche.It is also advantageous if integrally formed on a socket housing a holder for attachment to a mounting surface.

Die Steckdose 1 gemäß Fig. 1 hat ein Dosengehäuse 2 für die Aufnahme eines Kontaktträgereinsatzes 5 (vgl. Fig. 2), in welchem entsprechend der Polzahl der zu schaffenden Steckverbindung Kontakte 4 (vgl. Fig. 3) aufgenommen sind. Das Dosengehäuse 2 ist bei Nichtbenutzung mit einem Deckel 3 verschlossen, welcher sich in seiner Verschlusslage gegen eine Dichtung 26 am vorderen Rand des Dosengehäuses 2 anlegt und gegen eine Schließfeder 25 geöffnet werden kann.1 has a socket housing 2 for receiving a contact carrier insert 5 (see Fig. 2), in which, according to the number of poles of the connector to be created contacts 4 (see Fig. 3) are added. The can body 2 is closed when not in use with a lid 3, which applies in its closed position against a seal 26 at the front edge of the socket housing 2 and can be opened against a closing spring 25.

In dem Dosengehäuse 2 ist eine einstückige Dichtung 6 in Form eines Ringes mit U-förmigem Querschnitt auf einer innen umlaufenden Rippe 9 aufgenommen, welche für die Abdichtung sowohl gegen den Kontaktträgereinsatz 5 (vgl. Fig. 2) als auch gegen einen bei geöffnetem Deckel 3 eingesetzten (nicht dargestellten Stecker) bestimmt und geeignet ist. Zu diesem Zweck hat der Kontaktträgereinsatz 5 eine einsteckseitig weisende Schulter 8, welche sich an die bodenseitige Fläche der Dichtung 6 anlegen kann, während der nicht dargestellte Stecker beim Einstecken in das und Verriegeln in dem Dosengehäuse 2 mit einer Stirnfläche an die einsteckseitige Fläche der Dichtung 6 zur Anlage kommt. Zur Verriegelung des Steckers gegenüber dem Dosengehäuse 2 weist letzteres auf seiner Innenwandfläche wenigstens einen Verriegelungsnocken 27 auf, welcher der Führung einer entsprechenden Bajonettnut des Steckers dient. Bei vollständigem Einsetzen und Eindrehen des Steckers in das Dosengehäuse 2 wird somit seine Stirnfläche zuverlässig an die Dichtung 6 angepresst.In the socket housing 2, a one-piece seal 6 in the form of a ring with a U-shaped cross-section is received on an internally circumferential rib 9, which is suitable for sealing both against the contact carrier insert 5 (see Fig. 2) and against an open lid 3 used (not shown plug) is determined and suitable. For this purpose, the contact carrier insert 5 has a plug-side facing shoulder 8, which can rest against the bottom surface of the seal 6, while the plug, not shown, when plugged into and locking in the socket housing 2 with an end face to the male side surface of the seal. 6 comes to the plant. To lock the plug relative to the socket housing 2, the latter has on its inner wall surface at least one locking cam 27, which serves to guide a corresponding bayonet groove of the plug. Upon complete insertion and insertion of the plug into the socket housing 2, its end face is thus reliably pressed against the seal 6.

Der Kontaktträgereinsatz 5 (vgl. die Figuren 2, 5 sowie 6a und 6b) hat für die Montage über seinen Umfang verteilte Bajonettführungen 14, in welcher an dem Dosengehäuse 2 nach innen vorspringende Bajonettnocken 15 eingreifen. Beim Eindrehen des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 5 in das Dosengehäuse 2 legt sich damit der Kontaktträgereinsatz 5 mit der an ihm vorgesehenen Schulter 8 unter Anpressdruck an die bodenseitige Fläche der Dichtung 6 an. Die Bajonettführungen 14 und die dazugehörigen Bajonettnocken 15 können ungleichmäßig bzw. unsymmetrisch über den Umfang des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 5 bzw. des Dosengehäuses 2 verteilt sein, um eine Codierung festzulegen. Das gleiche kann dadurch erfolgen, dass die Bajonettführungen 14 und die zugehörigen Bajonettnocken 15 unterschiedlich breit bzw. dick sind.The contact carrier insert 5 (see Figures 2, 5 and 6a and 6b) has for the assembly over its circumference distributed bayonet guides 14 in which on the socket housing 2 inwardly projecting bayonet catches 15 engage. When screwing the contact carrier insert 5 into the socket housing 2, the contact carrier insert 5 thus engages with the shoulder 8 provided on it under contact pressure against the bottom-side surface of the seal 6. The bayonet guides 14 and the associated bayonet cams 15 may be distributed unevenly or asymmetrically over the circumference of the contact carrier insert 5 and the socket housing 2, to set a coding. The same can take place in that the bayonet guides 14 and the associated bayonet cams 15 have different widths or thicknesses.

Gemäß Fig. 5 sowie 6a und 6b sind die Bajonettführungen 14 an einem gegenüber dem übrigen Teil des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 5 gesondert verdrehbaren Bajonettring 16 vorgesehen, um die Montage zu erleichtern.According to Fig. 5 and 6a and 6b, the bayonet guides 14 are provided on a relative to the remaining part of the contact carrier insert 5 separately rotatable bayonet ring 16 to facilitate assembly.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 3 erkennbar, sind die für die Kontakte 4 vorgesehenen Aufnahmekanäle 10 des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 5 anschlussseitig mittels stopfenartiger Dichtelemente 11 abgedichtet, an welchen sich die Kontakte 4 abstützen können.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, the receiving channels 10 provided for the contacts 4 of the contact carrier insert 5 are sealed on the connection side by means of plug-type sealing elements 11 against which the contacts 4 can be supported.

Wie aus den Figuren 3, 4 sowie 6a und 6b ersichtlich, ist der Kontaktträgereinsatz 5 mittels einer als Lochplatte für die Durchführung von Anschlussdrähten 24 ausgebildete Bodenplatte 12 versehen. Die Bodenplatte 12 ist gegenüber dem Kontaktträgereinsatz 5 verdrehbar oder verschiebbar, so dass, wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, die Löcher 22 für die Durchführung der Anschlussdrähte 24 aus einer Öffnungsstellung 22 (ausgezogene Linien), in welcher die Kontakte 4, die Dichtelemente 11 und die Anschlussdrähte 24 hindurchgeführt werden können, in einer Verriegelungsstellung (Öffnungen 22'; gestrichelte Linien) überführt werden können, in welcher die Öffnungen der Aufnahmekanäle 10 der Kontakte 4 rückwärtig wenigstens teilweise verschlossen sind, um die Dichtelemente 11 bzw. die Kontakte 4 rückwärtig abzustützen. Zusätzlich sind die Kontakte 4 in ihren Aufnahmekanälen 10, z.B. mittels Rastbeinchen 19, in den Aufnahmekanälen 10 verrastet.As can be seen from FIGS. 3, 4 and 6a and 6b, the contact carrier insert 5 is provided by means of a base plate 12 designed as a perforated plate for the passage of connecting wires 24. The bottom plate 12 is rotatable or displaceable relative to the contact carrier insert 5, so that, as shown in FIG. 4, the holes 22 for the passage of the connecting wires 24 from an open position 22 (solid lines), in which the contacts 4, the sealing elements 11 and the connecting wires 24 can be passed, in a locking position (openings 22 ', dashed lines) can be transferred, in which the openings of the receiving channels 10 of the contacts 4 are at least partially closed rearwardly to support the sealing elements 11 and the contacts 4 backward. In addition, the contacts 4 are latched in their receiving channels 10, for example by means of Rastbeinchen 19, in the receiving channels 10.

Die Bodenplatte 12 ist gegenüber dem Kontaktträgereinsatz 5 wenigstens in einer Endstellung mittels Rasthaken 21 verrastet. Für die Verrastung können an dem Gehäuse des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 5 Anschläge 23 vorgesehen sein, welche auch der optischen Orientierung der Drehstellung dienen.The bottom plate 12 is locked relative to the contact carrier insert 5 at least in an end position by means of latching hooks 21. For the latching 5 stops 23 may be provided on the housing of the contact carrier insert, which also serve the optical orientation of the rotational position.

Die Bodenplatte 12 hat ferner wenigstens ein Griffstück 13 für das Verdrehen gegenüber dem Kontaktträgereinsatz 5. Ist die Bodenplatte 12 bereits mit dem Kontaktträgereinsatz 5 verrastet, so dienen diese Griffstücke 13 auch dem Verdrehen des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 5 gegenüber dem Dosengehäuse 2, um die Bajonettverriegelung herzustellen bzw. diese wieder zu lösen.The bottom plate 12 also has at least one handle 13 for rotation relative to the contact carrier insert 5. If the bottom plate 12 is already locked to the contact carrier insert 5, so these handles 13 serve to rotate the contact carrier insert 5 relative to the socket housing 2 to produce the bayonet lock or to solve these again.

In den Figuren 6a und 6b ist eine besondere Art der Bodenplatte 12 veranschaulicht. In diesem Fall ragt die Bodenplatte 12 mit einer Zunge 17 in eine Ausnehmung 18 des Kontaktträgereinsatzes 5 hinein und bildet einen Abschnitt einer der Bajonettführungen 14 nach, derart, dass in Offendrehstellung der Bodenplatte 12 die betreffende Bajonettführung 14 gesperrt, in Verschlussdrehstellung der Bodenplatte 12 die betreffende Bajonettführung dagegen freigegeben ist.FIGS. 6a and 6b illustrate a particular type of base plate 12. In this case, the bottom plate 12 protrudes with a tongue 17 into a recess 18 of the contact carrier insert 5 and forms a portion of one of the bayonet guides 14, such that in the off-rotational position of the bottom plate 12, the bayonet guide 14 in question locked in closed rotational position of the bottom plate 12 the relevant Bayonet guide is released.

In Fig. 2 ist veranschaulicht, dass das Dosengehäuse 2 einstückig mit einem Halter versehen sein kann, welcher der Befestigung der Steckdose 1 an einer Montagefläche dient.In Fig. 2 it is illustrated that the socket housing 2 may be integrally provided with a holder, which serves to attach the socket 1 to a mounting surface.
