One or both free sides of the omega spring have a support recess (17). A securing peg (18) in a direction of a hinge peg and the support recess of the free leg (15) extend from an end area of the free leg (16) to allow the free leg (15) for protecting the hinge peg against falling.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Steckverbinder nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

Steckverbinder sind in verschiedensten Ausführungsformen bekannt.Connectors are known in various embodiments.

So ist in der DE 102 09 686 A1 ein elektrischer Steckverbinder gezeigt und beschrieben, bei dem in jedem Schenkel einer U-förmigen Handhabe eine metallische Verriegelungsklammer einliegt, wobei jeder Schenkel eine entsprechend geformte Aufiiahme aufweist. Die Verriegelungsklammern sind somit integraler Bestandteil der Handhabe, während die Anpreßkräfte, mit denen das Gehäuseober- und - unterteil aneinander gedrückt sind, durch die Elastizitätskräfte einer zwischen den Gehäuseteilen angeordneten Gummidichtung erzeugt werden, denen gegenüber die Verriegelungsklammern ein Widerlager bilden. Ergänzend federn auch die Klemmen.Thus, in DE 102 09 686 A1, an electrical connector is shown and described, wherein in each leg of a U-shaped handle rests a metallic locking clip, each leg has a correspondingly shaped Aufiiahme. The locking brackets are thus an integral part of the handle, while the pressing forces with which the upper and lower housing parts are pressed against each other, are generated by the elasticity forces of a rubber seal arranged between the housing parts, against which the locking brackets form an abutment. In addition, the terminals also spring.

Des weiteren ist ein gattungsgemäßer elektrischer Steckverbinder aus der EP 0 731 534 A2 bekannt. Hier sind zur Aufnahme der Verriegelungsklammern in den sich gegenüber liegenden Schenkeln einer U-förmigen Handhabe aus Kunststoff Taschen vorgesehen, in denen jeweils eine Verriegelungsklammer einliegt, wobei die zugeordnete Tasche so bemessen ist, daß die zwei Schenkel der Verriegelungsklammer gegeneinander bewegbar sind. Die Schenkel der U-förmigen Handhabe sind so ausgebildet, daß sie zumindest einen Schenkel der jeweiligen Verriegelungsklammer vollständig überdecken und gemeinsam auf einem Lagerzapfen des Gehäuseunterteils schwenkbar gelagert sind.Furthermore, a generic electrical connector is known from EP 0 731 534 A2. Here are provided for receiving the locking brackets in the opposite legs of a U-shaped handle made of plastic pockets, in each of which a locking clip rests, wherein the associated pocket is dimensioned so that the two legs of the locking clip are movable against each other. The legs of the U-shaped handle are formed so that they at least one leg of the respective locking clip completely cover and are mounted together on a pivot pin of the housing base pivotally.

Die Herstellung und Montage eines solchen Steckverbinders gestaltet sich jedoch recht aufwendig insbesondere dann, wenn neben dem ersten auch der zweite Schenkel der Verriegelungsklammer in dem zugeordneten Schenkel der Handhabe fixiert ist. Darüber hinaus muss die Handhabe entsprechend den einzusetzenden Verriegelungsklammem konfiguriert sein, so daß er für anders geformte Klammern, insbesondere auch anders dimensionierte, praktisch nicht verwendet werden kann.However, the manufacture and assembly of such a connector is quite complicated, especially when in addition to the first and the second leg of the locking clip is fixed in the associated leg of the handle. In addition, the handle must be configured according to the Verriegelungsklammem used, so that it can not be practically used for differently shaped brackets, in particular also different sized.

Es ist daher auch bekannt, die Verriegelungsklammem mit der Handhabe einteilig aus Metall zu fertigen, wobei ein ergänzendes Kunststoffgriffteil vorgesehen sein kann. Eine derartige Lösung zeigt die weiter gattungsgemäße DE 101 20 846 A12. An dieser Lösung ist nachteilig, dass zwei relativ dünne Lagerarme des einen Lagerschenkels gemeinsam ein Drehlager für einen Verriegelungszapfen bilden, wobei der eine Lagerarm ergänzend federnd ausgebildet ist. Der eine Lagerarm benötigt als relativ filigranes Bauteil zwingend einen stabilisierenden Anschlag und ist auch nicht dazu in der Lage, allein die Lagerung am Zapfen sicherzustellen. Es ist daher notwendig, einen weiteren Lagerarm vorzusehen, der zur Lagerung beiträgt. Nachteilig ist auch, dass die Federkraft auf einen Federschenkel allein konzentriert wird, so dass dieser hoch belastet wird.It is therefore also known to manufacture the Verriegelungsklammem with the handle in one piece of metal, with a complementary plastic handle part can be provided. Such a solution shows the further generic DE 101 20 846 A12. A disadvantage of this solution is that two relatively thin bearing arms of a bearing leg together form a pivot bearing for a locking pin, wherein a bearing arm is designed to be complementary spring. The one bearing arm required as a relatively filigree component necessarily a stabilizing stop and is also not able to ensure solely the storage on the pin. It is therefore necessary to provide a further bearing arm, which contributes to the storage. Another disadvantage is that the spring force is concentrated on a spring leg alone, so that it is heavily loaded.

Vorteilhafter erscheint insofern die Lösung der DE 100 06 433 A1, in der die Lagerung durch einen einzigen Lagerarm erfolgt und ein Sicherungszapfen, der selbst keine Lagerfunktion übernimmt, den Zapfen in der Lagerausnehmung des stabileren Lagerarmes gegen Ausfallen sichert. Dieser Sicherungszapfen ist allerdings relativ ungünstig angeordnet und wird daher bei der Betätigung leicht beschädigt. Die Sicherungskräfte werden durch eine Gummidichtung in Kombination mit einer federnden Wirkung der Verriegelungsbügel erzeugt, die allerdings hinsichtlich der Federkraft relativ undefiniert ist. Zusätzlich ist die Lösung fertigungstechnisch (stanztechnisch) eher ungünstig.In this respect, the solution of DE 100 06 433 A1, in which the bearing takes place by means of a single bearing arm, and a securing pin which itself assumes no bearing function, ensures that the journal in the bearing recess of the more stable bearing arm is prevented from failing. However, this securing pin is arranged relatively unfavorable and is therefore easily damaged during operation. The securing forces are generated by a rubber seal in combination with a resilient action of the locking bracket, which, however, is relatively undefined with respect to the spring force. In addition, the solution is manufacturing technology (punching technology) rather unfavorable.

Die Erfindung hat daher ausgehend von der gattungsgemäßen DE 100 06 433 A1 die Aufgabe, bei Übernahme der Lagerung des Verriegelungsbügels an einem einzigen Lagerarm mit Sicherungszapfen, wie sie aus der DE 100 06 433 bekannt ist, die dort gezeigte Handhabe derart weiterzubilden, dass eine erhöhte Stabilität und ein definiertes federndes Sichern der Steckverbindung durch die Verriegelungsklemmen selbst erreicht werden.The invention therefore has starting from the generic DE 100 06 433 A1 the task, upon assumption of the storage of the locking bracket on a single bearing arm with safety pins, as known from DE 100 06 433, the handle shown there further such that an increased Stability and a defined resilient securing the connector can be achieved by the locking terminals themselves.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen elektrischen Steckverbinder gelöst, der die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.This object is achieved by an electrical connector having the features of claim 1.

Danach sind die Verriegelungsklammem jeweils als Omegafedern ausgebildet, der eine der beiden freien Schenkel der Omegafeder weist eine Lagerausnehmung auf und vom Endbereich des anderen freien Schenkels her erstreckt sich ein Sicherungszapfen in Richtung des Gelenkzapfens und der Lagerausnehmung des ersten freien Schenkels, der weitgehend parallel oder ganz parallel zum Grundschenkel ausgebildet ist und der zum Sichern des Gelenkzapfens gegen ein Ausfallen dient. Die Omegafedern sichern in Kombination mit einer Gummidichtung zwischen den Steckverbinderteilen eine definierte Federkraft zum Verriegeln der zwei Steckverbinderteile. Sowohl die Montage einfach durch Aufrasten der Handhabe auf die Schwenkzapfen als die Handhabung im Betrieb sind einfach und besonders kostengünstig. Die Sicherungszapfen sind jeweils auf einfache Weise gegen Beschädigungen geschützt, da sie separat zu den freien Schenkeln der Omegafedern ausgebildet sind und vorzugsweise innerhalb der Omegafeder oder an deren Rand liegen und diese quasi nach außen "verschließen". Die Sicherungszapfen sind nicht Teil des Drehgelenkes. Sie tragen nicht zur Verrieglung bei und nehmen dabei keine Kräfte auf. Die beiden freien Schenkel und der Sicherungszapfen werden jeweils lappenartig aus einer den Verriegelungshebel bildenden Platte herausgeschnitten. Die Herstellung ist damit zwar nach wie vor in diesem Bereich eher aufwendig, sie resultiert aber nach der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung in einer besonders sicheren Funktionsweise.Thereafter, the Verriegelungsklammem are each formed as Omega feathers, one of the two free legs of the Omega spring has a bearing recess and from the end of the other free leg ago extends a securing pin in the direction of the pivot pin and the bearing recess of the first free leg, which is substantially parallel or complete is formed parallel to the base leg and which serves to secure the pivot pin against failure. The omega springs in combination with a rubber seal between the connector parts secure a defined spring force for locking the two connector parts. Both the assembly simply by snapping the handle on the pivot pin as the handling in operation are simple and very inexpensive. The securing pins are each protected in a simple manner against damage, since they are formed separately from the free legs of the omega feathers and preferably lie within the omega feather or at its edge and "close" them to the outside. The safety pins are not part of the rotary joint. They do not contribute to the locking and absorb no forces. The two free legs and the securing pin are each cut out like a lobe from a plate forming the locking lever. The production is therefore still rather expensive in this area, but it results according to the embodiment of the invention in a particularly safe operation.

Fig. 1a-c zeigen jeweils einen elektrischen Steckverbinder 1 mit einem ersten Steckverbinderteil 2 und einem mittels einer Handhabe 3 daran verriegelbaren zweiten Steckverbinderteil 4. Die Steckverbinderteile weisen jeweils Gehäuse 5, 6 mit Durchführungen 7 für Kabel auf. In die Gehäuse 5, 6 können Steckerstifte und/oder Buchsen, Steckermodule und dgl. eingesetzt sein, um elektrische Verbindungen zwischen Leitern zu realisieren.1a-c respectively show an electrical connector 1 with a first connector part 2 and a second connector part 4 which can be locked thereto by means of a handle 3. The connector parts each have housings 5, 6 with bushings 7 for cables. In the housings 5, 6 plug pins and / or sockets, plug modules and the like. Be used to realize electrical connections between conductors.

Die Darstellung der Fig. 1 ist nicht einschränkend zu verstehen. Im Gebrauch kann die Ausrichtung der beiden Steckverbinderteile beliebiger Art sein.The representation of Fig. 1 is not intended to be limiting. In use, the orientation of the two connector parts may be of any type.

Die Handhabe 3 ist einstückig aus einem Metallblech gestanzt und geformt.The handle 3 is integrally stamped and formed from a metal sheet.

Sie weist (siehe Fig. 3) zwei seitliche Verriegelungsklammen 8, 9 als Längsschenkel auf und einen die beiden Verriegelungsklammem verbindenden Grundschenkel 10, an den sich einstückig ein abgewinkelter Griffabschnitt 11 anschließt.It has (see FIG. 3) two lateral locking slams 8, 9 as longitudinal limbs and a connecting the two Verriegelungsklammem base leg 10, to which integrally an angled grip portion 11 connects.

Die Verriegelungsklammem sind omegaartig geformt bzw. als Omegafedern mit zwei freien Schenkeln 15, 16 und dem Grundschenkels als Teil der Omegafeder ausgebildet, wobei die freien Schenkel 15, 16 am Grundschenkel 10 ansetzen. An dem ersten Steckverbinderteil 2 sind zwei Gelenkzapfen 12 mit breiterem Kopfabschnitt 13 (Fig. 1, 2) ausgebildet, die zur Lagerung der Verriegelungsklammem 8, 9 an diesem Steckverbinderteil dienen.The Verriegelungsklammem are omega-like or formed as Omega feathers with two free legs 15, 16 and the base leg as part of the Omega spring, the free legs 15, 16 attach to the base leg 10. On the first connector part 2 are two pivot pins 12 with a wider head portion 13 (Fig. 1, 2), which serve to support the Verriegelungsklammem 8, 9 at this connector part.

Die eigentliche Verriegelung erfolgt an korrespondierenden Riegelzapfen 14 am korrespondiereden zweiten Steckverbinderteil 4.The actual locking takes place on corresponding locking pins 14 on korrespondiereden second connector part. 4

Hierzu weist der eine der beiden freien Schenkel 15, 16 der Omegafeder eine Lagerausnehmung 17 auf (siehe auch Fig. 3). Vom anderen freien Schenkel 16 her erstreckt sich ein Sicherungszapfen 18 in Richtung des Gelenkzapfens 12 und der Lagerausnehmung 17, der allein zum Sichern des Gehlenkzapfens 12 gegen ein Ausfallen dient, der aber - wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich - beim Verriegeln keine Lagerfunktion übernimmt, da der Lagerzapfen 12 beim Verriegeln nur in der Lagerausnehmung 17 - die derart allein die Lagerung übernimmt - und nicht an dem Sicherungszapfen 18 anliegt. Die Verbreiterung 19 am freien Ende des Sicherungszapfens dient der leichteren Fertigung und zur Stabilisierung des Sicherungszapfens in sich, nicht aber der Übernahme einer Lagerfunktion.For this purpose, one of the two free legs 15, 16 of the omega spring has a bearing recess 17 (see also FIG. 3). From the other free leg 16 forth extends a securing pin 18 in the direction of the pivot pin 12 and the bearing recess 17, which serves alone to secure the Gehlenkzapfens 12 against failure, but - as shown in Fig. 2 - when locking takes over no bearing function, as the bearing pin 12 when locking only in the bearing recess 17 - which so alone takes over the storage - and does not rest on the securing pin 18. The widening 19 at the free end of the securing pin is used to facilitate production and stabilization of the securing pin in itself, but not the assumption of a bearing function.

Ergänzend schafft der Sicherungszapfen 18 blattfederartig auf einfachste Weise eine definierten Anlagebereich 20 für die Rastzapfen 14 am gegenüberliegenden Federschenkel 16. Er liegt dabei geschützt innerhalb der Omegafeder.In addition, the securing pin 18 creates a spring-like manner in the simplest way a defined contact area 20 for the locking pin 14 on the opposite spring leg 16. He is doing protected within the Omega spring.

Zur Montage wird die Handhabe lediglich auf die Schwenkzapfen 18 aufgerastet (Fig. 2a).For assembly, the handle is only snapped onto the pivot pin 18 (Fig. 2a).

Beim Verriegeln werden sodann zunächst nach Art der Fig. 1 die beiden Steckverbinderteile 2, 4 zusammengesteckt. Sodann wird die Handhabe 3 als Ganzes verschwenkt, wobei sich die beiden Omegafederartigen Verriegelungsklammem 8, 9 jeweils in sich als ganzes aufweiten. Da derart die Federwirkung über die gesamte Omegafeder hinweg - insbesondere im hinteren Grundschenkelbereich - gegeben ist, wird nicht wie beim Stand der Technik ein einzelner Federschenkel allein so stark belastetet, dass er einen sichernden Anschlag benötigt. Auch benötigt das Gelenk am Gelenkzapfen 12 nicht zwei Gelenkarme sondern nur einen einzigen stabförmigen Gelenkarm und eine Sicherungsfeder 18, die nur sichert, aber keine Lagerfunktion hat.When locking the first two connector parts 2, 4 are then first in the manner of Fig. 1 plugged together. Then, the handle 3 is pivoted as a whole, with the two Omegafederartigen Verriegelungsklammem 8, 9 in each case expand as a whole. Since the spring effect over the entire omega spring is given away in such a way - especially in the rear leg area - not a single spring leg alone is so heavily loaded as in the prior art that it requires a locking stop. Also, the joint on the pivot pin 12 does not require two articulated arms but only a single rod-shaped Articulated arm and a locking spring 18, which only secures, but has no bearing function.

Sowohl die Montage einfach durch Aufrasten der Handhabe 3 auf die Gelenkzapfen 12 (Fig. 2a, 2b) als die Handhabung im Betrieb (Fig. 1a-c) sind einfach und besonders kostengünstig.Both the assembly simply by snapping the handle 3 on the pivot pin 12 (Fig. 2a, 2b) as the handling during operation (Fig. 1a-c) are simple and very inexpensive.
