Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connector system according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Such a connector system is known from DE 199 48 037 B4.
- the peculiarity of this system on the mechanical side is the electrical connection between the contact elements and their respective mating contact elements which can be produced or released again by relative movement of the two housings and the latching connection which can be produced and released again between the two housings.
- the contacting should be carried out essentially by a relative movement after the substantially complete merging of the two housings. It can be a pivoting, a twist, a tilt or a combination of these movements.
- Object of the present invention is to develop an electrical connector element and system such that a simple and cost-effective way of a functionally reliable electrical contact is made possible without performing an additional movement between the two housings.
- a central idea of the invention is to carry out the relative movement of the two housings controlled in the form of a two-stage latching and make the contact essentially in the range of movement of the two housings between the first and the second detent position.
- Another special feature of the plug-in system according to the invention consists in the position-dependent increase in the contact force. This is to be understood as the fact that the contact force at the beginning of the mentioned range of motion is less than at the end.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention consists in that one of the two housings consists of two part housings movable relative to each other. This offers great constructive scope, since the two formative functions, namely the latching and the contacting can be perceived by a sub-housing and the respective sub-housing can be optimally adapted to this function.
- a relative movement of the two partial housings can only be made possible during the transition from the first to the second stage. Only during the relative movement of the two partial housings, the variable contact force between the associated contact elements can be triggered transversely to the direction of movement of the two housing parts.
- the contact force can be applied suddenly or essentially continuously.
- a ramp may be formed in the one housing, via which a pressure part in the other housing is movable. The interaction of the ramp and the pressure part can cause a position-dependent increase in the contact force between the contact elements and their respective mating contact elements in a particularly simple manner.
- the plug connection system of FIG. 1 comprises two electrical contacts, each mirrored along its center line, each having two plug connection elements 1 and 2 which are joined together.
- the associated contact is shown simplified. It consists of the two contact parts 3 and 4, which is assigned in each case one of the connector elements 1 and 2.
- the contact parts 3 and 4 slide upon assembly of the connector elements 1 and 2 to each other and are in their operative position to each other. They produce an electrical connection to unillustrated electrical components.
- the connector elements 1 and 2 have Housing 5 and 6, which are complementary to each other and which can be moved or pulled apart.
- Essential for the invention is that when assembling the connector elements 1 and 2, a variable contact force between the associated contact elements 3 and 4 can be triggered transversely to the direction of movement of the two housing parts. This is done by means of a ramp 7 and by an over the ramp movable elastic pressure member 8, through which a position-dependent increase in the contact force between the contact parts 3 and 4 is caused.
- the ramp function results from a bevel 9 on an actuating part 10, which is part of the housing 6 in conjunction with the shape of the pressure part 8.
- the actuating part 10 is displaceable within the housing 6 relative thereto. Further shown is a not shown in detail two-stage locking mechanism, the constructive effect for the first stage in Fig. 1a is shown. In this case, the two contact elements 3 and 4 are already on each other. The contact pressure is low or absent. The housing 5 and the housing 6 are already in their final position. The actuating member 10 is not as long as against the housing movable as long as the first detent position is not reached.
- the actuating part 10 can be displaced within the housing 6 up to the end position of FIG. 1b. In this a not shown latching between the actuating part 10 and the housing 5 is effective.
- the pressure part 8 slides on the slope 9 on the actuating part 10 and acts with increasing pressure on the two contact parts 3 and 4.
- the contact part 3 is fixed in the transverse direction. Therefore, it can not escape with the result of an increasing contact force between the two contact parts 3 and 4. If the locking between the actuating part 10 and the housing 5 is released, the process described can be reversed. As far as the first latching position of FIG. 1 a, the actuating part 10 can be withdrawn within the housing 6. The contact pressure between the two contact parts 3 and 4 is always lower. If subsequently the lock between the housings 5 and 6 is released, the two contact parts 3 and 4 can be pulled apart again.
- actuating part 10 is in one piece and acts with its upper side 10 "and its underside 10'" respectively on one of the two contacts with the contact parts 3 / 4.
- the pressure part consists of two parts 8 'and 8 ", in order to equalize the pressure distribution and the pressure increase during insertion of the actuating part 10 'into its end position (FIG. 2b).
- the invention can also be applied to fasteners having a plurality of contact points.
- only two electrical connections are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 for better clarity.
- the design of the housing is in the field of design of a designer and can be determined by the application.
