Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for outdoor use, in particular for the electrical connection of solar panels, consisting of a connector with a connector housing that has at least one contact pin or a contact sleeve, and a coupler with a connector housing that has at least one contact sleeve or one Has contact pin, the plug and the contact pin can be at least partially inserted into the coupler and the contact sleeve, the contact pin and the contact sleeve can each be connected by means of a crimp connection to at least one cable conductor of a cable and the plug and the coupler each Have locking part of a locking unit for fixing the connector and coupler against each other and a seal to the respective outer sheath of the cable is provided on the connector housing and on the connector housing.
  • Such a connector is known from DE 102 15 194 A1.
  • Both the connector housing and the connector housing of this connector have a thread and a union nut in the area of the seals, with incisions for tightening the seal being provided after the thread.
  • the locking unit for fixing the plug and coupler to each other consists of a threaded connection, which in turn is secured by a protective sleeve.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a connector which fills all the requirements, but is considerably less expensive and simpler to manufacture. Furthermore, it should also be able to be connected quickly and easily to the respective cable.
  • the contact pin and the contact sleeve each have at least one latching hook which, after inserting the contact pin and the contact sleeve into the respective housing, engages behind a shoulder in the connector housing and the connector housing.
  • the contact pin and the contact sleeve each have two latching hooks, preferably arranged diametrically opposite one another, and the shoulder is preferably designed as an annular shoulder in the plug and coupler housing.
  • the shoulder is preferably designed as an annular shoulder in the plug and coupler housing.
  • the connector and coupler housing has a cylindrical extension in the area facing the cable, in which the seal is inserted and fixed.
  • the seal is advantageously glued into the connector and connector housing or, if the connector and connector housing is made of plastic, manufactured or injection molded together with the connector and connector housing using two-component technology.
  • the seal is provided on the surface facing the cable with circumferential grooves and rings and is thus designed in the manner of a labyrinth seal. This results in a particularly good and elastic seal, especially since expansion due to temperature differences and volume changes in the air or gases enclosed in the connector can be compensated for.
  • the plug and connector housing has at least one longitudinal expansion joint or one or more expansion openings in the area of the seal. These make it easier, in particular, to demold the connector and coupler housing with a seal from the respective shape.
  • the seal and / or the connector and coupler housing can each have an extension that is in contact with the cable, which lengthen the sealing section and protect the cable, in particular from excessive bending.
  • the connector and connector housing can also be made from a metal material, preferably from non-corrosive metal. Then it makes sense to glue the seal in or to fasten it in some other way. If the plug and / or coupler housing is made of metal, an insulating body is advantageously used between the latter and the contact pin and the contact sleeve in order to prevent electrical conduction between the contact pin and the contact sleeve and the plug and / or coupler housing.
  • a sealing ring is provided on the end facing away from the cable within the plug or coupler housing which surrounds the respective other housing.
  • This Sealing ring can be formed, manufactured or fastened in accordance with the explanations for the seal between the plug and coupler housing and the cable. It can be produced in one operation with the seal on the cable, both seals being connected by a channel.
  • the locking part of the connector or coupler housing which encompasses the other housing, is arranged at its end facing away from the cable and is designed as an eyelet, preferably two diametrically opposed eyelets.
  • These eyelets or eyelets correspond to locking hooks which are arranged locally and spatially to match the eyelets on the plug or coupler housing which is inserted within the other housing.
  • the eyelets are free-standing at the end of the connector or connector housing, so that they are resilient and easy to lock and unlock.
  • the plug and the coupler can be easily manufactured or assembled in a particularly advantageous manner after the following work steps.
  • the cable is inserted through the respective plug or connector housing through the seal and pushed through.
  • the cable is then stripped professionally and the contact pin or the contact sleeve is connected to the cable conductor of the cable using crimping pliers.
  • the connector housing or the connector housing is pushed in the direction of the contact pin or the contact sleeve until it noticeably engages in the connector housing or connector housing.
  • the connector can of course also be used on multi-pole cables after a corresponding extension.
  • FIG. 1 a section through a coupler housing with a view of a cable and a contact pin
  • Figure 2 shows a section through a connector housing with a view of a cable and with a section through a contact sleeve and
  • FIG. 3 a connector with cuts corresponding to FIGS. 1 and 2 in the assembled state
  • Figure 4 a contact sleeve with concave and tortuous concave lamellae.
  • reference numeral 1 generally designates a coupler, with a coupler housing 2, a contact pin 3 and a cable 4.
  • the contact pin 3 is mechanically and electrically connected to a cable conductor of the cable 4, which is not visible, by means of a crimp connection ,
  • the coupler housing 2 has an annular bead 5 which forms a shoulder 6.
  • the shoulder 6 is operatively connected to locking hooks 7 which are molded onto the contact pin 3.
  • the contact pin 3 also has an annular projection 8 which, after mounting the contact pin 3 in the coupler housing 2, forms a counter support to the latching hooks 7 and the shoulder 6, so that the contact pin is fixed in the coupler housing 2 in both axial directions.
  • the coupler housing 2 also has a seal 9 adjacent to the cable 4, which has grooves and grooves on the surface facing the cable 4, so that there is a very good seal and adaptation to the cable.
  • a sealing ring 10 is inserted in the connector housing 2, which, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 3, ensures a seal between the connector housing 2 and the connector housing 14 described in FIG.
  • two eyelets 11 are provided, which are designed as projecting tabs and are therefore radially elastically flexible.
  • a contact sleeve 13 is fastened in FIG. 2 to the cable conductor denoted by 12, likewise by means of a crimp connection.
  • the contact sleeve does not differ from the contact pin 3 with regard to the annular projection 8 and the latching hook 7.
  • the annular bead 5 is also designed accordingly.
  • the housing is designed as a plug housing 14 and is made thinner at the end facing the coupler housing 2.
  • the connector housing 14 also has two locking hooks 15 which are in operative connection with the eyelets 11 in the assembled state (see FIG. 3).
  • the seal 9 also corresponds to the configuration according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a contact sleeve 13 with concave (upper illustration) and sinuous concave lamellae (lower illustration).
  • the contact sleeve 13, which is already shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, has a crimp area 17 at one end, via which the contact sleeve 13 can be crimped to the cable in a manner known per se.
  • the other end has a contact area 18, this contact area 18 in the upper illustration having concave (ie inwardly curved) lamellae (when viewed in the longitudinal direction).
  • These concave fins increase the contact pressure on the contact pin 3 when the connector is assembled.
  • the contacting area 18 can be designed as a cage contact with sinuous, concave lamellae.
  • a contact sleeve can easily be produced as a stamped and bent part, for example the stamped image shown on the right in FIG. 4 can serve as a model.
  • the finished contact 13 is produced from the stamped image shown on the right by rolling the sheet metal part, it also being conceivable to use a contact sleeve 13 according to the above illustration in FIG. 4 and to rotate it in the contacting area 18 only in the finished rolled state.
  • other manufacturing processes and constructions are also conceivable for achieving cage contact with sinuous, concave lamellae. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
