Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connector for contacting at least one conductor track integrated in a textile material.
  • 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.
  • connectors are used which are electrically connected, in particular soldered, to the conductor tracks of the textile material.
  • 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.
  • the 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • both housing and deflecting means and film hinge made of plastic.
  • 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.
  • 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 °.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the Fig. 1 to 8 show a first embodiment of a connector 1 according to the invention for contacting a textile material 2 (see Fig. 2 ), here a textile belt with integrated conductor tracks 3.
  • the textile material 2 four interconnects 3 consisting of four individual wires 4 on.
  • the conductor tracks 3 are woven into the textile material 2.
  • a gluing of the conductor tracks 3 on the textile material 2 or between two layers of textile material is conceivable.
  • the conductor tracks 3 are designed as a conductive textile web or as a conductive yarn.
  • the fabric 2 is extremely ductile and very thin compared to its longitudinal and transverse extension.
  • Connector 1 can be used in all types of flat textiles, for example of synthetic and / or textile fibers.
  • the connector 1 comprises a housing 5, which consists of a lower part 6 and a cover part 7 (FIG. Fig. 6 ) consists.
  • latching means 8 are provided on the lower part. These are with corresponding counter-locking means 9 ( Fig. 6 ) of the lid part 7 can be latched.
  • the connector 1 has a board 10, which is held with clamping means 11 on the bottom 12 of the lower part 6.
  • the board 10 has four flat, juxtaposed contacts 13 for contacting the interconnects 3.
  • the board 10 is guided to the outside and has on the bottom four contact surfaces 14, which serve for contacting an electrical device.
  • the outwardly guided region of the board 10 is located in a plug-in section 15 of the connector 1.
  • the connector 1 may be formed for example as a USB plug.
  • the bottom 12 of the lower part 6 is surrounded by walls arranged perpendicular thereto, namely two opposite side walls 17 and a front wall 18 connecting the side walls 17 and extending transversely thereto.
  • the walls 17, 18 form with the bottom 12 a receiving trough for receiving the textile material 2 and the board 10th
  • a film hinge 20 is provided, which connects the lower part 6 of the connector 1 with deflecting means 21 pivotally.
  • the deflection means 21 like the housing 5, made of plastic.
  • the deflecting means 21 are designed as a flat component with two parallel, in the transverse direction of the connector 1 extending through slots 22, 23.
  • the lead-through slots 22, 23 also extend transversely to the longitudinal extent of the band-shaped textile material 2 or transversely to the longitudinal extent of the conductor tracks 3.
  • the deflection means 21 are in an insertion position for threading the textile material into the passage slots 22, 23.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the lid part 7 is integrallyklippst on the lower part 6.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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:
  • the textile material 2 is passed through the slot 22.
  • 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.
  • 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 ,
