Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Steckverbinder zum Kontaktieren mindestens einer in einem Textilmaterial integrierten Leiterbahn.The invention relates to an electrical connector for contacting at least one conductor track integrated in a textile material.

So genannte intelligente Textilien sind auf dem Vormarsch. Derartige Textilien sind mit elektronischen Funktionen versehen und dienen beispielsweise als Fernbedienung für einen MP3-Player. Die Textilien weisen in der Regel mehrere, bevorzugt eingewebte Leiterbahnen auf, die beispielsweise zur Kontaktierung elektronischer Geräte dienen. Häufig sind die Leiterbahnen schraubenförmig ausgeformt und damit extrem längendehnbar. Zum Anschluss der Leiterbahnen an ein elektrisches Gerät werden Steckverbinder eingesetzt, die elektrisch mit den Leiterbahnen des Textilmaterials verbunden, insbesondere verlötet, werden. Beim täglichen Gebrauch des beispielsweise als Jacke ausgebildeten Textilmaterials kommt es aufgrund der ständig auftretenden Zugspannungen häufig zu einem Lösen der Kontaktierung zwischen Steckverbinder und Textilmaterial. Das Vorsehen einer formschlüssigen Zugentlastung, beispielsweise mit das Textilmaterial durchstoßenden Befestigungszähnen ist nicht zielführend, da das in der Regel extrem längendehnbare Textilmaterial in diesem Fall zum Ausreißen neigt.So-called intelligent textiles are on the rise. Such textiles are provided with electronic functions and are used for example as a remote control for an MP3 player. The textiles usually have several, preferably woven conductor tracks, which serve for example for contacting electronic devices. Frequently, the tracks are helically shaped and thus extremely elongated. To connect the conductor tracks to an electrical device, connectors are used which are electrically connected, in particular soldered, to the conductor tracks of the textile material. In the daily use of, for example, formed as a jacket textile material due to the constantly occurring tensile stresses often lead to a loosening of the contact between connector and textile material. The provision of a positive strain relief, for example, with the textile material piercing Fastening teeth is not effective, since the extremely elongated textile usually tends to rip in this case.

Die US 2001/0029129 A1 beschreibt einen Steckverbinder mit einer Anschlussaufnahmekammer mit elektrischen Kontakten zum Kontaktieren mindestens einer Leiterbahn, bei dem ein Vorsprung zum Umlenken der Leiterbahnen vorgesehen istThe US 2001/0029129 A1 describes a connector having a terminal receiving chamber with electrical contacts for contacting at least one conductor track, in which a projection for deflecting the conductor tracks is provided

Die W02005/002001 A1 offenbart eine Steckverbindung für Textilmaterialen, bei der die Verbindung zwischen Stecker und Textilmaterial durch eine Velcro/Klettverbindung gesichert werden kann.The W02005 / 002001 A1 discloses a connector for textile materials in which the connection between plug and textile material can be secured by a Velcro / Velcro connection.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten elektrischen Steckverbinder zur Kontaktierung der in einem Textilmaterial integrierten Leiterbahnen vorzuschlagen, mit dem ein Lösen der elektrisch leitenden Verbindung auch unter stärksten Beanspruchungen vermieden und gleichzeitig ein Ausreißen des Textilmaterials verhindert wird.The invention has for its object to propose an improved electrical connector for contacting the integrated circuit in a textile material interconnects, with the dissolution of the electrically conductive connection avoided even under the strongest conditions while tearing the fabric is prevented.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, eine reibschlüssige Zugentlastung vorzusehen, mit der das Textilmaterial reibschlüssig in bzw. am Steckverbinder gehalten ist. Erfindungsgemäß sind zur Zugentlastung Umlenkmittel vorgesehen, mit denen das Textilmaterial bevorzugt mehrfach umgelenkt wird, wodurch aufgrund der Umschlingungswinkel eine reibschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Umlenkmitteln und Textilmaterial geschaffen wird. Je öfter die Richtung des Textilmaterials geändert wird, desto größer sind die wirkenden Reibkräfte. Bevorzugt werden große Umschlingungswinkel zwischen Textilmaterial und Umlenkmitteln gewählt, um die reibschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Textilmaterial und Umlenkmitteln weiter zu verbessern.The invention is based on the idea to provide a frictional strain relief, with which the textile material is frictionally held in or on the connector. According to the invention, deflecting means are provided for strain relief, with which the textile material is preferably deflected several times, whereby due to the wrap angle, a frictional connection between deflecting means and textile material is created. The more often the direction of the textile material is changed, the greater the frictional forces acting. Preference is given to large wrap angles between Textile material and deflection selected to further improve the frictional connection between textile material and deflection.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass die Umlenkmittel einstückig mit dem Steckverbinder ausgebildet sind. Diese Variante vereinfacht zum einen die Montage und zum anderen die Lagerhaltung, die Logistik und den Transport der elektrischen Steckverbinder. Durch die einstückige Ausbildung der Umlenkmittel mit dem Steckverbinder kann die auf das Textilmaterial wirkende Zugkraft an das Gehäuse des Steckverbinders weitergegeben werden.In an embodiment of the invention is advantageously provided that the deflection means are integrally formed with the connector. This variant simplifies the assembly and the storage, logistics and transport of the electrical connectors. Due to the one-piece design of the deflection means with the connector, the force acting on the textile material tensile force can be passed to the housing of the connector.

Eine Möglichkeit, mindestens eine Richtungsumlenkung des Textilmaterials zu realisieren, besteht darin, das Textilmaterial durch mindestens einen, bevorzugt zwei oder mehr Durchführschlitze innerhalb des Umlenkmittels zu führen. Die Schlitzbreite sollte der Textilmaterialbreite zuzüglich eines Spiels entsprechen.One possibility for realizing at least one directional deflection of the textile material is to guide the textile material through at least one, preferably two or more, through-feed slots within the deflection means. The slot width should match the fabric width plus a clearance.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Umlenkmittel schwenkbar mit dem Steckverbinder, insbesondere mit dem Steckverbindergehäuse verbunden, und zwar derart, dass die Umlenkmittel zwischen einer Einführposition, in der das Textilmaterial durch den mindestens einen Durchführschlitz durchführbar ist und einer Fixierposition verschwenkbar ist. Bevorzugt erfolgt eine Verschwenkung um etwa 180°. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass sich die Einführposition außerhalb des eigentlichen Steckverbinders befindet und dass die Umlenkmittel erst durch Verschwenken, bevorzugt um 180° in den eigentlichen Steckverbinder hinein verschwenkbar sind, wodurch die Montage erheblich erleichtert wird.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the deflection means are pivotally connected to the connector, in particular to the connector housing, in such a way that the deflection between an insertion position in which the textile material is passed through the at least one passage slot and a fixing position is pivotable. Preferably, a pivoting takes place by about 180 °. This makes it possible that the insertion is outside the actual connector and that the deflection only by pivoting, preferably by 180 ° in the actual connector are pivotable, whereby the assembly is greatly facilitated.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass zur schwenkbaren Anbindung der Umlenkmittel an dem Gehäuse mindestens ein Filmscharnier zwischen den Umlenkmitteln und dem Gehäuse vorgesehen ist. Bevorzugt bestehen sowohl Gehäuse als auch Umlenkmittel und Filmscharnier aus Kunststoff. In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen werden, dass das Filmscharnier als einfache Materialschwächung und/oder aus einem Material ausgebildet ist, das sich von dem Material der Umlenkmittel und dem Material des Gehäuses unterscheidet. Bevorzugt handelt es sich um einen flexiblen Kunststoff.In a further development of the invention is advantageously provided that at least one film hinge between the deflecting means and the housing is provided for the pivotable connection of the deflection means on the housing. Preferably, both housing and deflecting means and film hinge made of plastic. In an embodiment of the invention can be provided that the film hinge is designed as a simple material weakening and / or of a material that differs from the material of the deflection and the material of the housing. It is preferably a flexible plastic.

Eine optimale reibschlüssige Verbindung zwischen dem Textilmaterial und den Umlenkmitteln wird erreicht, wenn die Umlenkmittel derart ausgebildet oder angeordnet sind, dass das Textilmaterial mindestens zweimal seine Richtung ändert, bevorzugt jedes Mal um etwa 180°, bzw. viermal um 90°.An optimal frictional connection between the textile material and the deflecting means is achieved if the deflection means are designed or arranged such that the textile material changes its direction at least twice, preferably every time by about 180 °, or four times by 90 °.

Zur Erleichterung der Montage ist es zweckmäßig, das Gehäuse mindestens zweiteilig auszubilden, nämlich mit einem Unterteil und einem mit dem Unterteil verrastbaren Deckelteil. Eine optimale reibschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Steckverbinder und Umlenkmitteln kann realisiert werden, wenn das Textilmaterial zusätzlich zwischen Deckelteil und Umlenkmitteln und/oder zwischen Unterteil und Umlenkmitteln geklemmt wird. Bevorzugt erfolgt die Umlenkung mittels der Umlenkmittel derart, dass das Textilmaterial im Bereich der Klemmung zwischen den Umlenkmitteln und dem Deckelteil und/oder dem Unterteil doppelt geführt ist. Hierdurch kann eine verbesserte Klemmwirkung erzielt werden.To facilitate assembly, it is expedient to form the housing at least in two parts, namely with a lower part and a latchable with the lower part of the cover part. An optimal frictional connection between the connector and deflecting means can be realized when the textile material is additionally clamped between the cover part and deflecting means and / or between the lower part and deflecting means. Preferably, the deflection takes place by means of the deflection means such that the textile material is guided twice in the region of the clamping between the deflection means and the cover part and / or the lower part. As a result, an improved clamping effect can be achieved.

The insertion position is located outside of the receiving trough formed by the bottom 12 and the walls 17, 18. The deflection means 21 are located in a plane parallel to a floor 12 receiving level.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, erfolgt das Einfädeln bzw. Einführen des Textilmaterials 2 in die Umlenkmittel 21 bzw. die Durchführschlitze 22, 23 wie folgt:How out Fig. 2 it can be seen, the threading or insertion of the textile material 2 into the deflection means 21 or the feedthrough slots 22, 23 takes place as follows:

Zunächst wird das Textilmaterial 2 durch den in Längsrichtung des Steckverbinders 1 gesehenen, in der Einführposition hinteren Durchführschlitz 23 von oben nach unten geführt und von unterhalb der Umlenkmittel 21 durch den vorderen Durchführschlitz 22 wieder nach oben. Die freigelegten Leiterbahnen 3 sind in Fig. 2 bereits mit den Kontakten 13 des Steckverbinders 1 verschweißt. Die Freilegung kann beispielsweise durch Schmelzen des Textilmaterials in dem freigelegten Bereich bei einer Temperatur unterhalb der Schmelztemperatur der Leiterbahnen 3, aber oberhalb der Schmelztemperatur des Textilmaterials 2 erfolgen. Die Leiterbahnen 3 verbinden ein vorderes Endstück 24 des Textilmaterials 2, das innerhalb des Unterteils 6 aufgenommen ist, mit dem Rest des Textilmaterials 2, also mit dem aus dem Steckverbinder herausgeführten Abschnitt des Textilmaterials 2. Dieser erste Befestigungsschritt ist besonders deutlich in den Fig. 2 und 3 gezeigt.First, the textile material 2 is guided by the longitudinal direction of the connector 1, in the insertion rear rear slot 23 from top to bottom and from below the deflection 21 through the front feed slot 22 back up. The exposed conductor tracks 3 are in Fig. 2 already welded to the contacts 13 of the connector 1. Exposure may be effected, for example, by melting the textile material in the exposed area at a temperature below the melting temperature of the conductor tracks 3, but above the melting temperature of the textile material 2. The conductor tracks 3 connect a front end piece 24 of the textile material 2, which is received within the lower part 6, with the rest of the textile material 2, that is to say with the section of the textile material 2 led out of the connector. This first fastening step is particularly clear in FIGS Fig. 2 and 3 shown.

In einem nächsten, in den Fig. 4 und 5 verdeutlichten Befestigungsschritt sind die Umlenkmittel 21 um 180° mithilfe des Filmscharniers 20 in Längsrichtung des Steckverbinders 1 um eine in Querrichtung des Steckverbinders 1 verlaufende Schwenkachse verschwenkt. Hierdurch ergibt sich die in Fig. 5 dargestellte Umlenkung des Textilmaterials 2, welches oberhalb der Umlenkmittel in das Gehäuse 5 hineingeführt ist. Das Textilmaterial 2 verläuft zunächst oberhalb des Umlenkmittels 21 in Längsrichtung des Steckverbinders 1 entlang und wird dann um 90° nach unten umgelenkt und an dem freien Ende 25 der Umlenkmittel 21 vorbeigeführt und wieder um 90° nach hinten umgelenkt und verläuft dann parallel zur Einführrichtung, jedoch im Steckverbinder 1 nach hinten. Daraufhin ist das Textilmaterial 2 um 90° nach oben durch den Durchführschlitz 23 geführt und verläuft weiter in Richtung hinterem Steckerverbinderende. Daraufhin wird das Textilmaterial 2 erneut um 90° umgelenkt und durch den Durchführschlitz 22 nach unten umgelenkt und verläuft dann wieder in Richtung vorderem Steckverbinderende. Es erfolgt dann eine weitere Umlenkung um 90° nach oben entlang an einer Umlenkwand 26, welche einstückig mit dem Unterteil 6 ausgebildet ist und orthogonal zum Boden 12 des Unterteils 6 verläuft. Am freien Ende der Umlenkwand 26 wird das Textilmaterial erneut um 90° und zwar in Längsrichtung des Steckverbinders 1 umgelenkt und verläuft dann schräg nach unten in Richtung auf die Platine 10. Das Umlenkmittel 21 ist in der in Fig. 5 gezeigten Fixierposition S-förmig von dem Textilmaterial 2 umschlossen und sowohl oberhalb als auch unterhalb der parallel zu dem Boden 12 ausgerichteten Umlenkmittel doppelt geführt. Das Textilmaterial 2 ist an den Umlenkmitteln 21 sechsmal um 90° umgelenkt, wodurch eine feste reibschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den Umlenkmitteln 21 und dem Textilmaterial 2 und damit über das Filmscharnier 21 auch mit dem Unterteil 6 geschaffen wird.In a next, in the Fig. 4 and 5 clarified fastening step, the deflection means 21 are pivoted by 180 ° by means of the film hinge 20 in the longitudinal direction of the connector 1 to a running in the transverse direction of the connector 1 pivot axis. This results in the in Fig. 5 shown deflection of the textile material 2, which is guided into the housing 5 above the deflecting means. The textile material 2 extends initially above the deflection 21 in the longitudinal direction of the connector 1 along and is then deflected by 90 ° down and past the free end 25 of the deflection 21 and again deflected by 90 ° to the rear and then parallel to the insertion direction, however in connector 1 to the rear. Thereafter, the textile material 2 is guided by 90 ° up through the feed-through slot 23 and continues in the direction of the rear plug connector end. Thereafter, the textile material 2 is again deflected by 90 ° and deflected by the feed-through slot 22 downwards and then runs again in the direction of the front connector end. There then takes place a further deflection by 90 ° upwards along a deflecting wall 26, which is formed integrally with the lower part 6 and extends orthogonally to the bottom 12 of the lower part 6. At the free end of the deflection wall 26, the textile material is again deflected by 90 ° in the longitudinal direction of the connector 1 and then extends obliquely downward in the direction of the board 10. The deflection 21 is in the in Fig. 5 shown fixing position S-shaped enclosed by the textile material 2 and performed both above and below the parallel to the bottom 12 aligned deflection twice. The Textile material 2 is deflected six times by 90 ° at the deflecting means 21, whereby a firm frictional connection between the deflecting means 21 and the textile material 2 and thus over the film hinge 21 is also provided with the lower part 6.

In den Fig. 6 und 7 ist das Deckelteil 7 auf das Unterteil 6 aufgeklippst. Zu erkennen ist die Klemmung des doppelt geführten Textilmaterials 2 zwischen Deckelteil 7 und Umlenkmitteln einerseits und zwischen Umlenkmitteln 21 und Unterteil 6 andererseits. Zusätzlich ist das Textilmaterial 2 zwischen dem freien Ende der Umlenkwand 26 und dem Deckelteil 7 geklemmt. In diesem Bereich ist das Textilmaterial 2 einfach geführt. Zwischen Deckelteil 7 und den Umlenkmitteln 21 wird im hinteren Bereich ein quer zur Längsrichtung des Steckverbinders 1 verlaufender Schlitz 27 zur Einführung des Textilmaterials 2 in das Gehäuse 5 gebildet.In the Fig. 6 and 7 the lid part 7 is aufgeklippst on the lower part 6. Evident is the clamping of the double-guided textile material 2 between the cover part 7 and deflecting means on the one hand and between deflecting means 21 and lower part 6 on the other. In addition, the textile material 2 is clamped between the free end of the deflection wall 26 and the cover part 7. In this area, the textile material 2 is easily guided. Between the cover part 7 and the deflection means 21, a slot 27 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connector 1 is formed in the rear region for insertion of the textile material 2 into the housing 5.

Bei dem in den Fig. 8 bis 11 gezeigten, zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Umlenkmittel 21 nicht einstückig mit dem Gehäuse 5 ausgebildet. Sie bestehen lediglich aus einem losen Balkenteil mit einem einzigen Durchführschlitz 22. Die Befestigung erfolgt wie folgt:In the in the 8 to 11 shown, the second embodiment, the deflection means 21 are not formed integrally with the housing 5. They consist only of a loose beam portion with a single feed slot 22. The attachment is as follows:

Zunächst wird das Textilmaterial 2 durch den Schlitz 22 hindurchgeführt. Daraufhin wird das Umlenkmittel 21 um 180° gedreht (siehe Fig. 10), so dass das Textilmaterial das Umlenkmittel 21 S-förmig umschließt, also am Umlenkmittel viermal um 90° (zweimal um 180°) umgelenkt wird. Damit die von dem Textilmaterial 2 auf das Umlenkmittel 21 übertragenen Kräfte von dem Gehäuse 5 aufgenommen werden können, ist das quer zur Längserstreckung des Steckverbinders 1 angeordnete Umlenkmittel 21 in zwei gegenüberliegenden Haltenuten 28 des Unterteils 6 aufgenommen. Diese laufen senkrecht zur Längserstreckung des Steckverbinders 1. In dieser Fixierposition verläuft der Durchführschlitz 22 parallel zur Längserstreckung des Steckverbinders 1 und damit parallel zur Einführrichtung des Textilmaterials 2 in den Steckverbinder 1 und auch parallel zu den Leiterbahnen 3 bzw. den Kontakten 13 und der Platine 10.First, the textile material 2 is passed through the slot 22. Then the deflection means 21 is rotated by 180 ° (see Fig. 10 ), so that the textile material surrounds the deflection means 21 in an S shape, that is to say it is deflected four times by 90 ° (twice by 180 °) at the deflection means. In order that the forces transmitted by the textile material 2 to the deflection means 21 can be absorbed by the housing 5, the deflection means 21 arranged transversely to the longitudinal extent of the connector 1 is arranged in two opposite retaining grooves 28 of the housing Lower part 6 added. These run perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the connector 1. In this fixing position of the lead-through slot 22 extends parallel to the longitudinal extension of the connector 1 and thus parallel to the insertion of the textile material 2 in the connector 1 and also parallel to the conductors 3 and the contacts 13 and the board 10th ,

Das bei dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel verwendete Textilmaterial weist lediglich zwei Leiterbahnen 3 mit jeweils zehn schraubenförmig ausgebildeten Drähten 4 auf. Das Textilmaterial 2 ist extrem längendehnbar.The textile material used in the second embodiment has only two conductor tracks 3 each having ten helically formed wires 4. The textile material 2 is extremely stretchable.

In Fig. 11 ist der Steckverbinder 1 mit geschlossenem Gehäuse 5 dargestellt. Das Deckelteil 7 ist mit dem Unterteil 6 verbunden, in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel verklebt.In Fig. 11 the connector 1 is shown with the housing 5 closed. The cover part 7 is connected to the lower part 6, glued in this embodiment.

Wie aus Fig. 11 ersichtlich ist, ist das Textilmaterial 2 sowohl zwischen dem Deckelteil 7 und dem Umlenkmittel 21 als auch zwischen dem Umlenkmittel 21 und dem Unterteil 6 geklemmt, so dass einerseits eine reibschlüssige Verbindung mit dem Umlenkmittel 21 und andererseits mit dem Deckelteil 7 und dem Unterteil 6 besteht.How out Fig. 11 it can be seen, the textile material 2 is clamped both between the cover part 7 and the deflection means 21 and between the deflection means 21 and the lower part 6, so that on the one hand a frictional connection with the deflection means 21 and on the other hand with the cover part 7 and the lower part 6.
