Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckverbindung, aufweisend einen Rundstecker, der mit einem Rundkuppler zusammensteckbar ist, um eine elektrische Kontaktierung herzustellen, wobei der Rundstecker Rastmittel aufweist, die im zusammengesteckten Zustand mit Rastmitteln des Rundkupplers in Wirkverbindung bringbar sind, gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a plug connection, comprising a round plug which can be plugged together with a round coupler to produce an electrical contact, wherein the round plug has latching means which can be brought into operative connection with latching means of the round coupler in the assembled state, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 ,

Aus der DE 10 2004 012 883 A1 ist eine Steckverbindung in Form eines Solarsteckverbinders bekannt, die aus einem Rundstecker und einem Rundkuppler besteht, die am Ende eines Kabels angeordnet sind und die zusammensteckbar sind, um eine elektrische Kontaktierung der beiden Kontaktpartner, die sich in dem Stecker und dem Kuppler befinden, herzustellen. Bei diesem Stand der Technik weisen Rundstecker und Rundkuppler Rastmittel auf, die verhindern, dass die zusammengesteckte Steckverbindung bei ihrem Einsatz auseinander gebracht werden. Hierzu sind die Rastmittel so gestaltet, dass es sowohl beim Zusammenstecken als auch beim Auseinanderziehen eines erhöhten Kraftaufwandes bedarf, um die Rastmittel in Wirkverbindung oder wieder daraus heraus zu bringen. Auf Grund der Anwendung der bekannten Steckverbindung bei solartechnischen Anlagen, die beispielsweise auf Dächern von Häusern installiert sind, ist es erforderlich, dass zum Lösen der Rastmittel sehr hohe Kräfte erforderlich sind, um ein Lösen im zusammengesteckten Zustand zu verhindern. Da solche Steckverbindungen aber im Regelfall von Hand und ohne Werkzeuge montiert und demontiert werden sollen, sind die für das Zusammenstecken und für das Auseinanderziehen erforderlichen Kräfte in nachteiliger Weise zu hoch.From the DE 10 2004 012 883 A1 is known a connector in the form of a solar connector, which consists of a round plug and a round coupler, which are arranged at the end of a cable and which are zusammensteckbar to produce an electrical contact of the two contact partners, which are located in the plug and the coupler. In this prior art, round plug and round coupler latching means which prevent the plugged connector are brought apart in their use. For this purpose, the locking means are designed so that it requires both during mating and when pulling an increased force required to bring the locking means in operative connection or back out of it. Due to the application of the known connector in solar technology systems that are installed, for example, on roofs of houses, it is necessary that very high forces are required to release the locking means to prevent loosening in the assembled state. Since such connectors are to be mounted and dismantled usually by hand and without tools, the forces required for mating and for pulling are disadvantageously too high.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Nachteile zu vermeiden. Insbesondere sollen die für das Zusammenstecken oder Auseinanderziehen von Stecker und Kuppler erforderlichen Kräfte minimiert werden, unter Beibehaltung einer wirksamen Rastverbindung von Stecker und Kuppler im zusammengesteckten Zustand.The invention is therefore based on the object to avoid the disadvantages known from the prior art. In particular, the required for the mating or pulling apart of plug and coupler forces are to be minimized, while maintaining an effective locking connection of plug and coupler in the assembled state.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt grundsätzlich der Gedanke zu Grunde, dass ein Stecker und ein Kuppler in Rundbauweise mit Hochstromkontakten in Längsrichtung zusammengesteckt und verrastet (verriegelt) werden, wobei der Vorgang des Entrastens (Entriegelns) zunächst durch eine relative Drehbewegung zwischen Stecker und Kuppler und einer sich anschließenden linearen Bewegung erfolgen soll.The invention is fundamentally based on the idea that a plug and a coupler are plugged together in the longitudinal direction with high current contacts in the longitudinal direction and locked (locked), the process of Entrastens (Entriegelns) initially by a relative rotational movement between the plug and coupler and a subsequent linear movement should take place.

Hieraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass Stecker und Kuppler schnell und einfach auf Grund der Linearbewegung zusammengesteckt werden können, und eine Verriegelung im zusammengesteckten Zustand wirksam ist und nicht mehr oder nur durch äußerst hohe Kräfte gelöst werden könnte, wenn die im Regelfall im Betrieb der Steckverbindung auftretenden Zugkräfte auf die Steckverbindung wirken. Auf Grund von im Regelfall im Betrieb nicht wirkenden Kräften quer zur Längsrichtung kann damit die Steckverbindung im zusammengesteckten Zustand dauerhaft wirksam aufrecht erhalten bleiben. Soll jedoch bewusst eine Demontage der Steckverbindung (Auseinanderziehen von Stecker und Kuppler) erfolgen, ist zunächst eine relative Drehbewegung von Stecker und Kuppler erforderlich, um die Rastwirkung nahezu aufzuheben, so dass anschließend eine Bewegung in Längsrichtung zum Lösen der Steckverbindung erfolgen kann. Auf Grund dieses Grundgedankens der Erfindung, die durch entsprechende geometrische Gestaltung der Rastmittel erzielbar ist, werden sowohl die Kräfte beim Zusammenstecken als auch beim Auseinanderziehen von Stecker und Kuppler minimiert, wobei aber gleichzeitig die Rastverbindung im zusammengesteckten Zustand derart wirksam ist, dass beim Auftreten von Zugkräften auf die Steckverbindung ein Lösen von Stecker und Kuppler nahezu unmöglich wird.This results in the advantage that plug and coupler can be quickly and easily plugged together due to the linear movement, and a lock in the mated state is effective and could not be solved or only by extremely high forces, if the rule during operation of the connector occurring tensile forces act on the connector. Due to forces that normally do not act in operation transversely to the longitudinal direction, the plug-and-socket connection can thus be permanently effectively maintained in the assembled state. However, if a deliberate disassembly of the connector (pulling apart of plug and coupler) done, a relative rotational movement of the plug and coupler is first required to almost cancel the locking action, so that subsequently a movement in the longitudinal direction to release the connector can be done. Due to this basic idea of the invention, which can be achieved by appropriate geometric design of the locking means, both the forces during mating and when pulling apart of plug and coupler are minimized, but at the same time the locking connection in the assembled state is so effective that when tensile forces occur on the connector, a release of plug and coupler is almost impossible.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer derartigen Steckverbindung ist im Folgenden beschrieben und anhand der Figuren 1 bis 4 erläutert.An embodiment of such a connector is described below and explained with reference to Figures 1 to 4.

Die Figuren 1-4 zeigen, soweit im Einzelnen dargestellt, mit 1 eine Steckverbindung, die einen Rundkuppler 2 sowie einen Rundstecker 3 aufweist, die am Ende eines Kabels angeordnet sind. Das Kabel 4 weist in an sich bekannter Weise einen elektrisch isolierenden Mantel auf, der einen elektrischen Leiter umgibt, der mit nicht gezeigten Kontaktpartnern (Hochstromkontakten) des Rundkupplers 2 bzw. des Rundsteckers 3 verbunden ist. Als Rastmittel an dem Rundstecker 3 ist zumindest eine Rastnase 5 vorgesehen, wobei in bevorzugter Weise zwei sich gegenüberliegende Rastnasen 5 auf der Oberfläche des Gehäuses des Rundsteckers 3 angebracht sind. Diese Rastnase weist eine erste Rampe 6 sowie eine quer dazu ausgerichtet zweite Rampe 7 auf (Figur 3), die mit Gegenrastmitteln in Form einer Rastlasche 8, die eine Ausnehmung 9 aufweist, des Rundkupplers 2 in Wirkverbindung bringbar ist (Figur 4).The figures 1-4 show, as far as shown in detail, with 1 a connector having a round coupler 2 and a round plug 3, which are arranged at the end of a cable. The cable 4 has in known manner an electrically insulating jacket which surrounds an electrical conductor, which is connected to contact partners, not shown (high current contacts) of the circular coupler 2 and the circular connector 3. As a locking means on the circular connector 3, at least one latching lug 5 is provided, wherein in a preferred manner two opposing latching lugs 5 are mounted on the surface of the housing of the circular connector 3. This latching nose has a first ramp 6 and a second ramp 7 aligned transversely thereto (FIG. 3), which can be brought into operative connection with counter-latching means in the form of a latching tab 8, which has a recess 9, of the circular coupler 2 (FIG. 4).

Die in Längsrichtung beim Zusammenstecken ansteigende erste Rampe 6 bewirkt, dass die Stirnseite der Rastlasche 8 über diese Rampe 6 gleiten kann. Nachdem der Rundkuppler 2 und der Rundstecker 3 vollständig zusammengesteckt worden sind, nimmt die Ausnehmung 9 der Rastlasche 8 die Rastnase 5 vollständig auf. Durch die gezeigte Geometrie der Rastnase 5 wird nun im zusammengesteckten Zustand verhindert, dass bei Einwirkung von Zugkräften auf die Steckverbindung 1 sich diese Steckverbindung lösen kann, weil die innere Seite der Ausnehmung 9 an der in etwa senkrecht verlaufenden Stirnfläche der Rastnase 5 (gegenüberliegend der ersten Rampe 6) zur Anlage gekommen ist. Auf Grund dieser Gestaltung ist das erste Ziel, nämlich die einfache Montage von Rundkuppler 2 und Rundstecker 3, gelöst. Außerdem ist das weitere Ziel erreicht, dass nämlich die Steckverbindung 1 im zusammengesteckten Zustand unter Einwirkung von Zugkräften auf die Steckverbindung 1, die im Regelfall vorkommen, nicht mehr gelöst werden kann.The rising in the longitudinal direction during mating first ramp 6 causes the end face of the locking tab 8 can slide over this ramp 6. After the round coupler 2 and the round plug 3 have been completely plugged together, the recess 9 of the latching tab 8 takes the latching lug 5 completely. Due to the shown geometry of the locking lug 5 is now prevented in the mated condition that under the action of tensile forces on the connector 1, this connector can solve because the inner side of the recess 9 at the approximately perpendicular face of the locking lug 5 (opposite the first Ramp 6) has come to the plant. Due to this design, the first goal, namely the simple assembly of round coupler 2 and 3 round plug, solved. In addition, the further goal is achieved, namely that the connector 1 in the mated condition under the action of tensile forces on the connector 1, which normally occur, can not be solved.

Das weitere Ziel, eine Demontage der Steckverbindung 1 mit möglichst geringem Kraftaufwand zu lösen, wird durch die zweite Rampe 7 erzielt, die quer zur Längsrichtung der Steckverbindung 1 ausgerichtet ist. Durch eine gezielte Verdrehung zwischen Rundkuppler 2 und Rundstecker 3, die im Regelfall im Betrieb der Steckverbindung 1 nicht vorkommt, kann die Rastlasche 8 über diese zweite Rampe 7hinübergleiten, so dass die gesamte Rastlasche 8 über die Rastnase 5 hinwegbewegt wird und dadurch die Rastwirkung aufgehoben wird. Dieser Bewegungsablauf ist in Figur 1 dargestellt.The further goal to solve a disassembly of the connector 1 with the least possible effort, is achieved by the second ramp 7, which is aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connector 1. Through a targeted rotation between the round coupler 2 and 3 round plug, which is usually in operation the connector 1 does not occur, the locking tab 8 can slide over this second ramp 7, so that the entire locking tab 8 is moved over the locking lug 5 and thereby the locking action is canceled. This sequence of movements is shown in FIG.

In Figur 2 ist der Steckvorgang dargestellt, wobei ohne weiteres der Bewegungsablauf beim Zusammenstecken von Rundkuppler 2 und Rundstecker 3 erkennbar ist. Die Gestaltung der Rastlasche 8 an dem Rundkuppler 2 und der Rastnase 5 an dem Rundstecker 3 hat darüber hinaus noch den Vorteil, dass anhand eines Geräusches beim Zusammenstecken erkennbar ist, dass die Steckverbindung 1 vollständig zusammengesteckt worden ist.In Figure 2, the mating process is shown, with the movement without further ado when mating circular coupler 2 and 3 round plug is visible. The design of the locking tab 8 on the circular coupler 2 and the locking lug 5 on the circular connector 3 also has the advantage that it can be seen from a noise when plugging together that the connector 1 has been completely mated.

Der umgekehrte Vorgang (Ziehvorgang, Demontage) ist in Figur 4 erkennbar, wobei die in Figur 1 (unten) dargestellte Verdrehung zwischen Rundkuppler 2 und Rundstecker 3 schon ausgeführt worden ist, damit diese beiden Elemente auseinander gezogen werden können.The reverse process (drawing process, disassembly) can be seen in Figure 4, wherein the rotation shown in Figure 1 (below) between the round coupler 2 and 3 round plug has already been carried out so that these two elements can be pulled apart.

Die Darstellung in Figur 3 (unten links) zeigt, dass die der quer zur Längsrichtung des Rundsteckers 3 ausgerichteten Rampe 7 gegenüberliegende Seite der Rastnase 5 in etwa senkrecht zu der Oberfläche des Gehäuses des Raststeckers 3 verläuft. Während zwei sich gegenüberliegende zweite Rampen 7 denkbar sind, hat diese Ausgestaltung den Vorteil, dass Rundkuppler 2 und Rundstecker 3 in nur einer Richtung zu verdrehen sind, um die Verrastung aufzuheben. Weiterhin ist in dieser Darstellung erkennbar, dass die Rastnase 5 plateauförmig gestaltet ist, um unter Beibehaltung der Rastwirkung die Bauhöhe der Rastnase 5 gering halten zu können. Dabei ist die Höhe des Plateaus der Rastnase 5 in etwa so gewählt, dass sie mit der Oberfläche der Rastlasche 8 abschließt.The illustration in FIG. 3 (bottom left) shows that the side of the latching lug 5 opposite the ramp 7 oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the circular plug 3 extends approximately perpendicular to the surface of the housing of the latching plug 3. While two opposing second ramps 7 are conceivable, this embodiment has the advantage that round coupler 2 and round plug 3 are to be rotated in only one direction in order to cancel the latching. Furthermore, it can be seen in this illustration that the locking lug 5 is designed plateau-shaped to keep the height of the locking lug 5 low while maintaining the locking action. The height of the plateau of the locking lug 5 is approximately chosen so that it is flush with the surface of the locking tab 8.

Zur weiteren Minimierung der Steckkräfte kann daran gedacht werden, dass die Rastlasche 8 aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material besteht oder eine solche Längserstreckung aufweist, dass nur geringe Kräfte beim Überfahren der Rastlasche 8 über die Rastnase 5 erforderlich sind. Hinsichtlich der geometrischen Gestaltung und der Materialwahl bei der Rastlasche 8, ist es dabei wichtig, dass deren Ausnehmung 9 im zusammengesteckten Zustand der Steckverbindung 1 die Rastnase 5 vollständig aufnimmt.To further minimize the insertion forces can be thought that the locking tab 8 consists of an elastically deformable material or has such a longitudinal extent that only small forces when driving over the locking tab 8 via the locking lug 5 are required. With regard to the geometric design and the choice of material in the locking tab 8, it is important that their Recess 9 in the assembled state of the connector 1, the locking lug 5 completely absorbs.

Zur Erzielung einer erforderlichen Längswasserdichtheit weist der Rundstecker 3 eine Dichtung 10 (beispielsweise in Form eines O-Ringes) auf. Außerdem kann der Rundstecker 3 noch einen Einsatz 11 aufweisen, der aus einem gegenüber dem übrigen Material des Rundsteckers 3 weicheren Material besteht, so dass der Einsatz 11 beim Zusammenstecken als Puffer zum Tragen kommt.To achieve a required longitudinal water tightness of the round plug 3 has a seal 10 (for example in the form of an O-ring). In addition, the circular connector 3 may also have an insert 11, which consists of a comparison with the other material of the circular connector 3 softer material, so that the insert 11 comes into play as a buffer during mating.

In den Figuren gezeigt und in der Beschreibung beschrieben, war bisher, dass der Rundstecker die Rastnase 5 und der Rundkuppler 2 die Rastlasche 8 aufweist. Alternativ dazu ist es selbstverständlich auch möglich, dass der Rundkuppler 2 die Rastnase 5 und der Rundstecker 3 die Rastlasche 8 aufweist, ohne den erfindungsgemäßen Gedanken zu verlassen.Shown in the figures and described in the description, has hitherto been that the round plug has the latching lug 5 and the round coupler 2 the latching lug 8. Alternatively, it is of course also possible that the round coupler 2, the locking lug 5 and the circular connector 3, the locking tab 8, without leaving the thought of the invention.
