Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical connector having at least one elastic attachment arm. Furthermore, the invention relates to an electrical connector counterpart having a drogue for self-centering alignment of a connector. Moreover, the invention relates to an electrical plug connection with an at least one mounting arm having electrical connector, which is coupled to a catcher having an electrical connector counterpart.
- Electrical connectors with elastic mounting arms are known in principle. They serve to provide a so-called “floating" attachment of the connector to a holding device, so that the insertion or insertion of a connector counterpart is facilitated, even if this is not properly aligned exactly in the direction of insertion with the connector.
- an electrical connector with a housing is known, which has two flexible arms for fastening the housing to a holding device in order to allow both a tilting and a displacement of the housing in all three spatial directions relative to the holding device.
- the invention has for its object to provide a realization with which can be achieved at a plug-in operation of two interconnectable connectors even more reliable compensation to ensure a blind assembly of two connector parts can.
- the electrical connector comprises a compensation body and a base body for attachment of the connector to a fastening element, wherein the compensation body has at least one plug contact unit and at least one plug-in engagement means for receiving a correspondingly formed engagement means of a connector counterpart.
- the connector according to the invention is thus constructed of balancing body and base body at least two pieces, wherein the compensation body is fixed by means of elastic arms with a U-shaped configuration to the base body, that can tilt the balance body in all three spatial directions relative to the base body and move.
- the compensation body Due to the fact that the compensation body is formed as a separate component and due to the attachment to the base body elastic Arms with U-shaped configuration is largely decoupled from the base body, the balance body can tilt and / or move independently of the base body, whereby any mounting tolerances can be compensated.
- the possibility of shifting and / or tilting the compensation body in all three spatial directions increases the flexibility of the mounting of the connector, so that the connector can be coupled to it despite a tilting and / or displacement relative to a connector counterpart.
- the connector must therefore not be aligned exactly in each case a precisely predetermined plug-in direction with the corresponding connector counterpart.
- the connector according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for automated assembly, in which certain assembly tolerances may occur.
- the connector is also suitable for a so-called blind assembly, in which an assembly person has no or limited view of the connector.
- At least one plug-in contact unit and at least one plug-in engagement means for receiving a correspondingly formed engagement means of a plug connector counterpart are provided on the compensation body.
- the plug-in means serves as it were as an insertion aid for the plug-in contact unit in the connector counterpart by the compensation body is aligned via the male engagement means in cooperation with a corresponding alignment on the connector counterpart.
- the male engagement means may be formed as a male or as a female part.
- the plug-in engagement means in turn is equipped with the plug contact unit of the compensation body or that alternatively the plug-in engagement means and the plug contact unit as separate units are provided on the balancing body.
- the compensation body can initially be aligned correctly with respect to the connector counterpart in a coupling process with a connector counterpart means of the male engagement means, so that then the male contact unit can be coupled in the context of a linear plug movement with the connector counterpart without it mechanical stress loads of the plug contact unit comes.
- the U-shaped or arcuate shape of the arms By the U-shaped or arcuate shape of the arms, a particularly reliable decoupling of balancing body and base body can be achieved.
- the base body in the insertion direction can move independently of the compensation body.
- the U- or arcuate arms may be oriented so that they are aligned with their respective opening of the arc or U-shape perpendicular to the insertion direction, so that an approximation of the compensation body to the base body during a plug-in operation by a mutual approximation of two legs of the U- or bow shape of the arms can be compensated.
- the compensating body may be fastened to the base body by means of two symmetrically designed and arranged arms.
- a symmetrical design makes it possible to rotatably support the arms on the compensation body and / or on the fastening body in a simple manner, without additional precautions must be taken to prevent inadvertent pivoting of the arms.
- the arms may each have a pivot, which are received by appropriately designed pivot bearings on the base body.
- the pivots are to be aligned in the insertion direction, which particularly reliable assembly compensation in the form of a tilting movement about an axis parallel to the insertion direction axis can be ensured.
- the desired tilting movement of the compensating body can thus be attributed not only to the elasticity of the arms but in particular to the articulated storage of the arms, so that the arms can be made correspondingly stiffer.
- the arms may be strip-shaped and oriented so that the strip plane is at least partially oriented perpendicular to the direction of insertion.
- the strip-shaped design of the arms leads to a certain rigidity or stability of the arms in a direction lying in the strip plane, which is oriented transversely to the longitudinal extent of the strip. A bending of the arms in the strip plane is thus difficult.
- the arms have a certain flexibility transversely to the strip plane.
- the spring elements may also have a U-shaped configuration, wherein in each case a spring element is arranged within the arc openings formed by one of the arms.
- the U-shaped spring elements are thus, so to speak, nested with the U-shaped arms, whereby a compact design can be achieved.
- each of the spring elements can cooperate with a stop which limits the compression of the spring element and thus the approximation of the compensation body to the base body.
- the spring elements can be made of the same material as the arms, for example of a plastic material, so that the entire unit of compensating body, arms and spring elements can be produced in one piece, for example by means of an injection molding process.
- the spring elements in order to adjust the spring stiffness of the spring elements accurately, it is also possible to form the spring elements as separate components.
- the spring elements for example be made strip-shaped spring steel, which allows a very accurate calculation of the spring stiffness of the spring elements.
- the plug-in engagement means of the compensation body can globally have a pin-shaped shape to be received by correspondingly negatively formed engagement means of a connector counterpart.
- the male engagement means can have a hollow cylindrical shape for receiving correspondingly positively formed engaging means of a connector counterpart.
- the compensating body may be provided on the compensating body at least one latching means for locking with a complementary thereto formed locking means on the connector counterpart to secure the two connectors against vibration and / or tensile stresses to each other.
- the latching means can thus not lead to unintentional release of the plug connection.
- the connector counterpart of the electrical plug connection according to claim 11 will now be discussed below.
- the connector counterpart has a socket and a separate from the socket engagement means for receiving a corresponding thereto formed male engagement means, such as that of the previously described connector.
- the socket of the connector counterpart is used to receive a plug contact unit, such as the previously described electrical connector.
- the connector counterpart further comprises at least one drogue to achieve a self-centering of the connector during a coupling operation with a corresponding connector.
- the Steckeingriffsmittels a connector can first be correctly aligned relative to the connector counterpart, so that then the plug contact unit in the context of a linear plug movement with the connector counterpart can be coupled without it comes to mechanical stress on the plug contact unit.
- the drogue may be provided in the region of the insertion opening of the hollow cylindrical engagement means, so that a male engagement means, such as the compensation body of the connector described above, during a coupling operation with the connector Self-centering insert counterpart in the engagement means of the connector counterpart.
- the connector 10 has a base body 12 and a compensation body 14.
- the base body 12 is a substantially disc-like body having a receptacle 40 for a fastener 32.
- the compensating body 14 has a plug-in contact unit 16, which in the illustrated embodiment comprises three electrical contact sections 18, which are in electrical connection with the wires of an electrical line.
- the line (not shown) can be inserted into a receiving opening 34 of the plug-in contact unit 16 in order to be fastened therein.
- the compensating body 14 shown further comprises two plug-in engagement means 20 in the form of two pins, which are integrally connected to the plug contact unit 16 via two support sections 36.
- the compensation body 14 is connected to the base body 12 via two elastic, arcuate arms 22, which are connected in one piece to the support portions 36 of the compensation body 14 in the illustrated embodiment. At their other free ends, the arms 22 each have a pivot pin 26 whose axis of rotation is oriented in the insertion direction of the connector 10. To accommodate the pivot pin 26, two claw-like pivot bearings 28 are formed on the base body 12, in which the pivot pin 26 are rotatably engaged or clipped. In this way, the compensating body 14 is mounted on the base body 12 via the arcuate arms 22 and the pivot pins 26.
- the arms 22 are made of a resilient plastic material.
- the arms 22 can thus be deformed almost arbitrarily, whereby a mounting compensation can be ensured if the connector 10 is not properly aligned with respect to an associated connector counterpart.
- the arms 22 tend to bend downwardly, the arms 22 are strip-shaped, giving them some rigidity in a strip-plane direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the strip is oriented. So that this stabilization is not at the expense of the tiltability of the compensation body 14 due to the strip-shaped character of the arms 22, the arms 22 are rotatably mounted on the base body via the pivot pins 26 in the pivot bearings 28, so that the compensation body 14 in the desired manner in particular turn an axis parallel to the plug-in direction.
- the connector 12 has two spring elements 38 with a substantially U-shaped configuration, which are arranged within the arc openings formed by the arms 22.
- the spring elements 38 are molded onto the pivot pins 26, however, the spring elements 38 may also be manufactured as separate components, for example made of spring steel.
- the freely projecting ends of the spring elements 38 come into abutment with the support sections 36 of the compensation body 14 Base body 12 via the spring elements 38 exert an increasing compressive force on the balancing body 14 to couple this with a connector counterpart 100.
- stops 24 are provided in the region of the arc openings of the spring elements, against which the cantilevered ends of the spring elements 38 are pressed when the compensation body 14 approaches the base body 12.
- the connector counterpart 100 consists essentially of a housing 102, which has two hollow cylindrical engagement means 106 for receiving the pin-like plug-in engagement means 20 of the connector 10. In the area between these hollow cylindrical engagement means 106, a bushing 104 for receiving the plug-in contact unit 16 of the connector 10 is provided. In this socket 104 are here not recognizable electrical contact portions, which can be brought into electrical contact with the contact portions 18 of the connector 10. The contact portions of the connector counterpart, not shown here, are led out of the same in the form of contact pins 112 on the rear side of the socket 104, so that an electrical line can be attached thereto.
- elongated catch cylinder 108 are provided on the housing 102, which taper in the direction of the engagement means 106 and pass into this.
- 100 fastening webs 114 are provided with through holes on the outer edge of the housing 102 of the connector counterpart, through which the connector counterpart 100 can be attached to a fastener.
- Fig. 1 is the electrical connector of connector 10 and connector counterpart 100 in an uncoupled state, wherein the connector 10 is slightly spaced from the connector counterpart 100 is disposed.
- the connector 10 is slightly offset from the connector mating piece 100 disposed to the right, which can best be seen that the pin-shaped male engagement means 20 are not exactly aligned with the hollow cylindrical engaging means 106 in the housing 102.
- Such a staggered arrangement of the connector 10 may occur, for example, when the two connectors 10, 100 are to be "blind" assembled by means of a robot or manually, in which case the base body 12 and the connector counterpart 100 are held firmly by the robot ,
- FIG. 2 can be removed, which shows the coupled state of the connector 10, 100 according to the invention, both arms 22 were deflected during the insertion process to the left, which can be recognized at the different distances between the arms 22 and the spring elements 38.
- a latching means 30 in the form of a recess is formed on the plug contact unit 16 of the plug connector 10, into which latching means 110 designed to be complementary thereto in the form of a latching nose on the inside of the socket 104 of the connector counterpart 100 engages. In this way, the relative position of connector 10 and connector counterpart 100 is permanently secured against any tensile forces.
