Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector for making at least one electrical connection through an opening of a partition.
  • the connector which is also referred to as a through-connector, has a first and a second connector which can be plugged together and at least one of the connectors can be sealed against the partition wall via a seal enclosing the opening.
  • the present invention relates to a connector in which at least one of the plugs has a tensioning device which can be brought into engagement with the other plug and with which the two plugs are permanently tensioned in their mating direction by incorporating the partition wall.
  • the invention further relates to a mounting method for producing such an electrical connector.
  • both connector housings each have a sealing device for sealing against the partition wall and a pivotable clamping device is provided to press the two parts of the connector in the assembled state sealed to the wall.
  • a pivoting lever with a cam groove on the first connector cooperates with a cam follower on the second connector to press the two connectors together.
  • the DE 298 23 075 U1 relates to a connector housing coupling having a plug-in base housing and a plug-in counter housing, which together each connected through a wall.
  • a latching device for latched fixing of the base housing in the opening of the partition wall is provided and on the mating housing locking devices are present, which cooperate in the mated state of the housing with this latching device so that the latching device is held in the latched position immobile.
  • a second locking device is provided by means of which the two housing parts are releasably locked together in the assembled state.
  • an electrical connector assembly is known in which the complete mating of two connector parts, an operator actuates a pivotable lever which is provided with teeth which cooperate for moving the two connector parts to each other with associated racks.
  • a pivotal movement of the lever is translated into a linear motion for mating the two connectors.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve a generic connector of the type mentioned in that the tightness against the environment and the reliability of the connection can be increased.
  • the present invention is based on the basic idea that an undesirable penetration of moisture into the interior of the connector can be avoided by sealing the connection region between the clamping device and the at least one connector by means of a sealing device.
  • the tensioning device has at least one actuating projection, which cooperates for tensioning the plug with a receptacle which is arranged on one of the plugs. In this way can be done in a very simple manner, a translation of the expended during clamping force in a clamping force.
  • the tensioning device can have a locking lever, which is pivotable for tensioning the two plugs about an axis of rotation which runs approximately transversely to the direction of passage through the dividing wall. In such an arrangement, it is sufficient to seal the area in which the locking lever is rotatably mounted.
  • At least one tooth with involute tooth flanks can be arranged on the bearing projections as the actuating projection.
  • the tensioning device may comprise a locking lever having a base portion and two leg portions. At the leg portions bearing projections are formed, which are rotatably mounted in corresponding bearing recesses of a plug. In this way it can be realized in a particularly simple manner that the locking lever for clamping the connector about an axis of rotation, which extends approximately transversely to the direction of passage through the partition, is pivotable.
  • the sealing device can then be arranged on the bearing projections, for example in the form of an O-ring, or it is alternatively injection-molded directly onto the bearing projections.
  • a particularly cost-effective and simple realization of the sealing device according to the invention is given when the sealing device is formed by an elastic O-ring.
  • the seal opposite the dividing wall must be mounted circumferentially around the opening in the dividing wall.
  • the seal can be sprayed onto the outer periphery of the plug, so that the seal is captively attached to the connector housing.
  • the connection between the seal and the plug on which it is molded always completely tight.
  • this seal can also be a separate part that can be brought into contact with both the plug and the partition.
  • a separate locking device also referred to as connector position assurance (CPA) may be provided for locking the tensioning device in a final assembled condition.
  • CPA connector position assurance
  • the securing device is released when it is displaceable in a direction transverse to the direction of passage through the partition wall.
  • a locking lug which is provided for locking the tensioning device on the securing device, represents a particularly effective and easily realizable possibility of locking.
  • the tensioning device may be a sliding device with at least one transmission or reduction arrangement. This allows converting an applied pushing force or movement into a greater or lesser clamping force or movement.
  • the tensioning device may be a sliding device, which is displaceable in a direction approximately transverse to the direction of passage through the partition wall for tensioning the plug.
  • the tensioning device may comprise at least one guide rail, which extends partially in a plane along the Caribbeansteckraum and approximately transversely to the mating direction. This is a sliding force or movement in a clamping force or movement convertible.
  • a clamping device designed as a sliding device can be sealed particularly effectively against penetrating moisture.
  • a seal can for example be injected and to improve the tightness and more complicated cross-sections, z. B. having at least one sealing lip.
  • a particularly secure and realized with little effort seal can be achieved if at least one sealing projection is formed on a second connector housing, which cooperates for sealing the connector with the sealing device.
  • a locking device which is movable between a locked position in which the second connector is fixed to the partition, and an unlocked position, a particularly secure fixation of the second connector can be achieved on the partition.
  • a locking device which can also be referred to as a further connector position assurance (CPA)
  • CPA connector position assurance
  • the second connector can be easily removed from the partition wall.
  • CPA connector position assurance
  • if greater forces must be expended when plugging in the first plug it can be ensured that the second plug is not unintentionally released from the partition wall.
  • this second plug is held in a body panel whose rear side is no longer readily accessible at the time of mating, as is the case for example in a car door, can be avoided with the inventive solution that the second plug no longer properly can be contacted.
  • At least one latching device can be arranged on the locking device in order to secure the locking device in cooperation with an associated latching opening in the locked position. This is particularly important in applications in the automotive sector, because strong mechanical and thermal stresses occur during operation.
  • the locking device can not move unintentionally from the unlocked position, the at least one locking device in the unlocked position cooperate with another associated locking opening to fix the locking device in this position.
  • this locking connection from the outside (at least for a suitable tool) accessible so that it is solvable in the case of a desired expansion.
  • the locking device may be displaceable in the simplest case with respect to the second connector in the direction of joining the two connectors.
  • this solution has the disadvantage that it can not be ensured that the two plugs are pluggable only when the locking device is properly in its locked position.
  • the locking device may be mounted by means of a hinge-like connection to the second connector housing and between the locked and the unlocked position by a pivoting movement about an axis which extends approximately transversely to the direction of passage through the partition to be movable.
  • an edge region lying opposite the axis of rotation in the unlocked state can thus be arranged in the second connector housing such that the two connectors can not be plugged together.
  • a connector 100 has reference to FIG Fig. 1 a first plug 1 and a second plug 17.
  • the second plug 17 is mounted in a partition wall 37.

  • the nozzle which is not shown here, as well as the nozzle 7 are part of a channel through which a cable, not shown, is insertable into the interior of the first connector housing 2.
  • the first connector 1 has a sealing device 162.
  • This sealing device is realized in the arrangement shown by a simple O-ring. Of course, however, other possibilities for producing the sealing device can be used, such as molded seals or more complex shaped seals, the z. B. have sealing lips.
  • the seal on a bearing projection 164 is arranged, which holds the locking lever 160 pivotally in the direction 166 in a bearing receptacle 168 of the first connector housing 2.
