Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is an electrical plug connection with a plug part and with a counterpart.
  • the connectors in question allow a secure connection in the area of the connection points, since the plug part on the one hand and the counterpart on the other hand are secured together via a thread-like connection.
  • the plug parts are equipped with a sleeve carrying an external thread.
  • Such constructions make it necessary to bring about a screwing over the entire thread length after merging the plug contacts.
  • the connections are often arranged relatively close to each other, which also increases the time required and makes connecting relatively cumbersome.
  • plug parts-and corresponding Jacobsiane- of plug connections have been created, which is the insertion of the plug-side sleeve in allow the counterpart by simply pushing and allow the end of the assembly process by a slight rotation a final and axial securing between the two components.
  • DE-C-4441274 discloses the line connector according to the preamble of Ansprunchs 1.
  • the present invention has for its object to further develop the connector and its male or female part such that a particularly simple and fast connection is realized at low manufacturing costs.
  • plug part and socket part do not refer to the electrical only. Contacts but in particular to the screw with external thread (plug part) and internal thread (socket part).
  • the invention thus provides according to their variant a plug connection with a simple and inexpensive to produce sleeve for quick and easy connection with a counterpart, the counterpart of the general industry standard (eg to the standard "M”, eg "M12" or “M8” or Like.) Can correspond.
  • the female part is provided in this case according to a conventional manner with an internal thread. This embodiment is particularly preferred.
  • a plug part with a plug connection according to the invention with shaped sleeve can be easily inserted into an internally threaded counterpart in the axial direction, since the projection or the projections can overcome the threads of the internal thread by their resilience, but at the same time in each insertion state in a thread of the internal thread lock. After the axial insertion of the sleeve, this can still be slightly rotated in the sense of a screw to fix a final mounting position.
  • the sleeve can be made easily and inexpensively since it is only necessary to form at least one projection forming a part of an external thread on the sleeve.
  • the sleeve is manufactured as a punched / bent part.
  • the plug part can also be fixed to a housing, e.g. a distributor installed.
  • the female part or counterpart is attached to the fixed plug part, which may have a conventional internal thread.
  • the plug or socket part can be designed for mounting on a housing or for connection to a cable.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 is denoted by the reference numeral 1 a total of a plug connection, which comprises a plug part 2 and a herewith axially mating counterpart 3 (a socket part), which are equipped in a known manner with corresponding first and second contacts 2a, 3a, here, for example, as pins 2a and corresponding sockets 3a are formed.
  • the plug part 2 has a preferably consisting of an insulating cylindrical inner body 13 with the first contacts 2a and the female part or counterpart 3 also consists of an insulating inner body 14, with the second contacts 3a, in which case the inner body of the female part 3 in his axial end portion in the inner body of the connector part 2 can be inserted.
  • the plug part is equipped with a rotatable relative to the inner plug portion 3b sleeve 4, which serves to establish a connection between the plug part 2 and the counterpart 3.
  • the counterpart 3 is provided in the region of an outer sleeve 15 with an internal thread 5 (see FIG. 3 ) and the sleeve 4 of the plug part 2 is provided in its engaging in the counterpart 3 outer peripheral region with at least one radially outwardly deflectable and part of an external thread forming projection 6, said this projection 6 or more such projections 6 in a thread of the internal thread. 5 the counterpart 3 is supported or supported. This situation is evident in FIG. 3 shown.
  • the sleeve 4 is equipped in its engaging in the counterpart 3 outer peripheral region with a total of three projections 6.
  • These projections 6 each form parts of a thread and are arranged offset in the illustrated embodiment by about 120 ° to each other.
  • these projections 6 are on a line of a thread, which of course, of course, there is also the possibility of the projections 6 in the axial direction of the sleeve 4 each offset by one or more threads against each other.
  • FIGS. 4a, 4b and 5 also make clear that the projections 6 are each in the range of free distances 7, so that the resilience of these projections 6 is ensured without hindrance.
  • the projections 6 are oriented and bent in the insertion direction radially from the inside out, that a quick insertion of the male part in the internal thread 5 of the counterpart 3 is possible, the projections 6 fold inward, whereas in the opposite direction - ie when pulling - lock or block, so that to loosen a loosening is required.
  • An end portion 17 of the projection 6 is bent outwardly so that it engages defined in a single thread of the internal thread of the counterpart. Except for the projections 6, no external thread is present.
  • protrusions e.g. rotated by 90 ° (not shown here), serve to realize the nature of further springs a kind of thread lock, so that a block against loosening is given (not shown here).
  • the sleeve 4 is made as a stamped and bent part of sheet metal, which is particularly inexpensive and easy. When mounting the metal strip this must not be closed to the tube, although this is conceivable but it may remain in the mounted state, a narrow slot 12.
  • the production from a piece of pipe ( Fig. 8 ), is not according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show an initially still lying and -in FIG. 7 partially shaped in a cylindrical shape blank for the production of a corresponding sleeve 4.
  • the blank is in the FIGS. 6 and 7 denoted by the reference numeral 4a.
  • the show FIGS. 6 and 7 clearly that the respective blank is provided on its side facing away from the projections 6 upper end edge with a molded bead 8, within which are in preferably the same distance openings 9.
  • the sleeve 4 is also formed with a bead 8 and the openings 9, which facilitate the attachment of a tool for releasing the sleeve.
  • the sleeve 4 can also be tightened by hand in a secured position, if necessary, or be solved again in a disassembly becoming necessary.
  • the formed as a punched-bent part sleeve 4 can be formed after completion by connecting its two blank ends 4b as a closed sleeve, it is also possible not to let the two blank ends 4b abut each other completely, so that the sleeve 4 remains axially open (slot 12).
  • the latter is not disadvantageous insofar as the sleeve in the connection state engages anyway in the internal thread 5 of a counterpart 3.
  • FIG. 8 shows a sleeve 4, which is that the sleeve 4 is provided instead of a bead 8 with a circumferential knurling 10, by means of which the handling of the sleeve when tightening or loosening a connection is facilitated.
  • This sleeve which is not in accordance with the invention, can be produced, for example, from a piece of pipe by forming. It has no axial slot 12. Loosening tools of the same type (attachable like a key) can be attached to the bead as well as to the knurling. A release by hand is also possible.
  • FIGS. 4a and 4b clearly show that the sleeve 4 is engaged at its end face, which is associated with the projections 6 in the counterpart 3, which seal 11 is provided, which rests in the mounted state on the sleeve 4, such as FIG. 3 makes it clear.
  • the plug part 2 with the sleeve 4 can be inserted in the axial direction easily into the provided with the internal thread counterpart 3. After the axial insertion of the sleeve 4, this can still be slightly twisted in terms of a screw to fix a final mounting position. The connection is released in a conventional manner by unscrewing.
  • FIG. 9 shows a schematic representation of a non-inventive connector in which the plug part 3 (only schematically shown in sections) is designed according to the industry standard and has an external thread 16, whereas here the female part is formed with a resilient projection, which acts more or less in the manner of an internal thread segment , He springs when sliding the socket part on the plug part to the outside away. When assembled, the spring force acts radially inward as it retracts Fig. 1 to 8 in the connected state acts outwards.
