Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Steckergehäuse mit einem daran angefügten, schwenkbaren Gehäusedeckel zum Verschließen des Steckergehäuses oder zur Verriegelung eines mit dem Steckergehäuse steckbaren, kompatiblen Gegensteckers.The invention relates to a plug housing with an attached thereto, pivotable housing cover for closing the plug housing or for locking a plug-in with the plug housing, compatible mating connector.

Ein derartig ausgebildetes Steckergehäuse wird benötigt, um bei nicht ständig genutzten Steckverbindungen die elektrischen Kontakte im Steckergehäuse mit einer Schutzkappe gegen Umwelteinflüsse zu schützen oder bei einem aufgesetzten Gegenstecker, die Steckverbindung mittels dieser Schutzkappe zu verrasten.Such a trained connector housing is required to protect the electrical contacts in the connector housing with a protective cap against environmental influences in not permanently used connectors or to lock in a mating connector, the connector by means of this cap.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der DE 195 08 605 C1 ist ein elektrischer Steckverbinder mit jeweils an den Schmalseiten gegenüberliegend angeordneten Verriegelungsbügeln bekannt, wobei zum Verriegeln der beiden Steckverbindergehäuse auf der einen Steckerhälfte Verriegelungszapfen vorgesehen sind, die mittels eines kipphebelartigen Verriegelungselementes an der anderen Steckerhälfte verrasten.
Ein derartiger Verriegelungsmechanismus, wie auch weitere Varianten mit einem Verriegelungsbügel, sind nur zur Verriegelung des einen Steckergehäuses mit einem entsprechenden Gegenstecker vorgesehen, während zum Verschließen des Steckergehäuses eine gesonderte Schutzkappe erforderlich ist.From the DE 195 08 605 C1 is an electrical connector with each on the narrow sides opposite arranged locking brackets known, being provided for locking the two connector housing on the one connector half locking pins which engage by means of a rocker arm-like locking element on the other connector half.
Such a locking mechanism, as well as other variants with a locking bracket, are provided only for locking the one connector housing with a corresponding mating connector, while for closing the connector housing a separate protective cap is required.

Aufgabenstellungtask

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Steckergehäuse der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend auszubilden, dass der Gehäusedeckel des Steckergehäuses einen Dreh- und Verriegelungsmechanismus aufweist, der zum einen das Verschließen des Steckergehäuses und zum anderen eine verriegelnde Verbindung mit einem Gegenstecker ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object to form a connector housing of the type mentioned in that the housing cover of the connector housing has a rotating and locking mechanism, which allows for a closing of the connector housing and on the other hand, a locking connection with a mating connector.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass das Steckergehäuse mit dem Gehäusedeckel verbunden, an seinen jeweiligen Seitenflächen einen mit dem Gegenstecker zusammenwirkenden Dreh- und Verriegelungsmechanismus aufweist, dass der Drehmechanismus aus Verbindungselementen sowie Streben gebildet ist, die in Zapfen seitlich am Steckergehäuse und in Zapfen seitlich am Gehäusedeckel drehbar gelagert sind, und dass der Verriegelungsmechanismus aus einer am Verbindungselement angeformten Rastnase gebildet ist, an der eine Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist, die an einem Zapfen des Gegensteckergehäuses verrastbar ist.This object is achieved in that the connector housing connected to the housing cover, at its respective side surfaces cooperating with the mating connector rotary and locking mechanism, that the rotation mechanism is formed of connecting elements and struts, the side in the pin on the connector housing and in pins laterally on Housing cover are rotatably mounted, and that the locking mechanism is formed of a formed on the connecting element latching lug, on which a recess is provided which can be latched to a pin of the mating connector housing.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 - 6 angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in claims 2-6.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass das Steckergehäuse einen festen Gehäusedeckel für ein umweltdichtes Verschließen der empfindlichen Steckkontakte aufweist, und dass für eine Steckverbindung mit einem Gegenstecker der Gehäusedeckel zur Verriegelung der beiden Steckergehäuse genutzt werden kann.
Dazu sind jeweils an den schmalen Seitenwänden entsprechend ausgebildete Verbindungselemente vorgesehen, die in Zapfen geführt, einen vorteilhaft kombinierten Dreh- und Verriegelungsmechanismus ergeben, wobei der Gehäusedeckel über die Längsachse des Steckergehäuses gedreht wird.
Die Lage der Drehpunkte und die Länge der Verbindungselemente sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass eine optimale vorbestimmte Schwenkkurve des Gehäusedeckels die Funktion als Schutzkappe zum Verschließen des Steckergehäuses wie auch zum Verriegeln mit einem entsprechenden Gegenstecker geeignet ist.
Dabei ist üblicherweise zum Verriegeln des Steckergehäuses mit dem Gegenstecker ein weiterer Verriegelungszapfen am Gegenstecker erforderlich, der dabei in eine Rastvertiefung an den Verbindungselementen einrastet.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the connector housing has a solid housing cover for environmentally sealed closing of the sensitive plug contacts, and that can be used for a plug connection with a mating connector of the housing cover for locking the two connector housing.
For this purpose, each formed on the narrow side walls correspondingly formed connecting elements, which are guided in pins, resulting in an advantageously combined rotary and locking mechanism, wherein the housing cover is rotated over the longitudinal axis of the plug housing.
The position of the pivot points and the length of the connecting elements are coordinated so that an optimal predetermined pivoting curve of the housing cover the function of a protective cap for closing the Plug housing as well as suitable for locking with a corresponding mating connector.
In this case, a further locking pin on the mating connector is usually required for locking the connector housing with the mating connector, which engages in a detent recess on the connecting elements.

In der Fig.1 ist in einer nur die wesentlichen Merkmale aufweisende Seitenansicht eines Steckverbindergehäuses zur Montage auf einem elektrischen Gerät dargestellt.
Das Steckverbindergehäuse 10 ist mit einem verschlossenen Gehäusedeckel 20 gezeigt, wobei Gehäuse und Deckel mit Verbindungselementen 30 miteinander verbunden sind, die an jeder der Seitenwände angeordnet sind. Dabei sind die Seitenwände 15 und 25 über den eigentlichen Rahmen, in dem ein Steckverbindereinsatz zu positionieren ist, zur Rückseite des Gehäuses hinaus verlängert. Wobei der Gehäusedeckel 20 auf seiner Rückseite noch über das Steckverbindergehäuse 10 hinausragt.
Auf der Gehäuserückseite ist zwischen den Seitenwänden von Gehäuse und Deckel eine Strebe 31 angeordnet, die mittels, aus dieser Sicht, verdeckter Zapfen 12 am Steckergehäuse 10 und Zapfen 22 am Gehäusedeckel den eigentlichen Drehmechanismus der Verbindung präsentiert.
Weiterhin ist jeweils ein Verbindungselement 30 an den Seitenwänden 15 und 25 mit Zapfen 14 und 24 angeordnet.
Das Verbindungselement 30 ist als dreiseitiges, flächiges Element ausgestaltet und weist eine aus einer Einbuchtung 35 herausgeformten Rastnase 36 auf.
Während das Verbindungselement 30 zwischen dem Zapfen 14 und der Rastnase 36 die Einbuchtung 35 aufweist, sind die Schenkelseiten 34 und 32 zwischen den Zapfen 14 und 24 sowie dem Zapfen 24 und der Rastnase 36 gerade ausgeführt.
Mittels eines an der Vorderseite des Gehäusedeckels angeformten Griffes 28 ist die hier verriegelt gezeigte Darstellung entriegelbar, wobei der Gehäusedeckel auf etwa 120° aufklappbar ist. Dabei ist die Verriegelung mit dem Gehäuse an der Vorderseite zwischen Gehäuse und Deckel angeordnet, hier aber nicht weiter gezeigt.FIG. 1 shows a side view of a connector housing for mounting on an electrical device that has only the essential features.
The connector housing 10 is shown with a closed housing cover 20, wherein housing and cover are connected to each other with connecting elements 30 which are arranged on each of the side walls. In this case, the side walls 15 and 25 are extended beyond the actual frame, in which a connector insert is to be positioned, to the rear of the housing. Wherein the housing cover 20 still projects beyond the connector housing 10 on its rear side.
On the rear side of the housing between the side walls of the housing and cover a strut 31 is arranged, which means, from this point of view, hidden Pin 12 on the connector housing 10 and pin 22 on the housing cover presents the actual rotation mechanism of the connection.
Furthermore, in each case a connecting element 30 is arranged on the side walls 15 and 25 with pins 14 and 24.
The connecting element 30 is designed as a three-sided, planar element and has a latching nose 36 formed out of a recess 35.
While the connecting element 30 between the pin 14 and the latching nose 36 has the indentation 35, the leg sides 34 and 32 between the pins 14 and 24 and the pin 24 and the latching nose 36 are straight.
By means of an integrally formed on the front of the housing cover handle 28, the representation shown here locked unlocked, wherein the housing cover can be opened to about 120 °. The lock is arranged with the housing at the front between the housing and cover, but not shown here.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt die Rückseite der Gehäuse- und Deckelkombination speziell mit der über die gesamte Rückseite reichende Strebe 31 und den bereits in Fig. 1 erläuterten Bezugszeichen.FIG. 2 shows the rear side of the housing and lid combination especially with the strut 31 extending over the entire rear side and the reference numeral already explained in FIG. 1.

In der Fig. 3 ist eine Variante eines mit einem Gehäusedeckel verriegelten Steckverbindergehäuses aus der Fig. 1 gezeigt.
Hierbei ist der Drehmechanismus mittels einer jeweils außerhalb der Seitenwände 15, 25 angeordneten Strebe 38, die in hier sichtbaren Zapfen 12 und 22 gelagert ist.
Aufgrund der außerhalb angeordneten Streben 38 ist eine veränderte Formgebung des Verbindungselementes 30' erforderlich.
Das Verbindungselement 30' ist in seinen Drehpunkten an den Zapfen 14 und 24 identisch mit dem Verbindungselement 30 aus der Fig. 1. Auch die Einbuchtung 35 sowie die daraus entwickelte Rastausnehmung 37 mit der Rastnase 36, die über den Rastzapfen 26 ragt, sind identisch.3 shows a variant of a locked with a housing cover connector housing of FIG. 1 is shown.
Here, the rotary mechanism by means of a respective outside of the side walls 15, 25 arranged strut 38 which is mounted in visible pins 12 and 22 here.
Due to the externally arranged struts 38, a modified shape of the connecting element 30 'is required.
The connecting element 30 'is identical in its pivot points on the pins 14 and 24 with the connecting element 30 of FIG. 1. Also, the indentation 35 and the recess recess 37 developed therefrom with the latching lug 36, which projects beyond the latching pin 26, are identical.

Dafür ist eine weitere Einbuchtung 33 auf der Linie zwischen den Zapfen 14, 24 erforderlich, die beim Öffnen des Gehäusedeckels 20 ein Übergreifen über die Strebe 38 und dem Drehpunkt um den Zapfen 22 ermöglicht, wie dies in der Fig. 4 dargestellt ist.
Damit entstehen die stark verrundeten Schenkel 32 und 34.For this purpose, a further indentation 33 on the line between the pins 14, 24 is required, which, when opening the housing cover 20, allows it to spread over the strut 38 and the pivot about the pin 22, as shown in FIG.
This results in the strongly rounded legs 32 and 34.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt einen auf dem Steckergehäuse 10 aufgesetzten Gegenstecker 40 mit einem Rastzapfen 42, wobei der Gehäusedeckel 20 auf etwa 120° aufgeklappt ist.Fig. 4 shows a patch on the plug housing 10 mating connector 40 with a locking pin 42, wherein the housing cover 20 is opened at about 120 °.

Wird der Gehäusedeckel 20 gegen den Gegenstecker 40 gedrückt, wie in der Fig. 5 dargestellt, so gleitet die Rastnase 36 am Verbindungselement 30' hinter den Rastzapfen 42, verrastet dort und verriegelt die beiden Steckergehäuse 10, 40 miteinander.
Somit kann der Gehäusedeckel 20 zu einer verrastbaren, umweltdichten Abschirmung eines Steckereinsatzes in dem Steckergehäuse 10 genutzt werden, wie auch zur Verrastung des Steckergehäuses mit einem dazu vorgesehenen Gegenstecker 40.If the housing cover 20 is pressed against the mating connector 40, as shown in FIG. 5, then the detent 36 slides on the connecting element 30 'behind the locking pin 42, locked there and locks the two connector housing 10, 40 with each other.
Thus, the housing cover 20 can be used to a latchable, environmentally sealed shielding of a plug insert in the connector housing 10, as well as for locking the plug housing with a mating connector 40 provided for this purpose.
