Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector, designed for contacting with a glow plug of a diesel internal combustion engine, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a connector which is designed for contacting with a glow plug of a diesel internal combustion engine.
  • This known connector has a cross-sectionally round and made of plastic base body on which coaxially at least one fin contact, preferably a plurality of fin contacts, are arranged.
  • This known connector is plugged onto a corresponding mating connector, which is present on the side of the glow plug, so that after bringing together the corresponding contacts of the connector and the mating connector both the power supply of the glow plug and the decrease of sensor signals by means of the glow plug or therein arranged sensors takes place, can take place.
  • the DE 10 2005 014 203 A1 shows only a connector with a base body on which a plurality of blade contacts are arranged one behind the other.
  • the manner in which the lamellar contacts are arranged on the base body and manufactured by itself remains open in this prior art.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a connector and a manufacturing method of such a connector, designed for contacting with a glow plug of a diesel internal combustion engine, which is process reliable in large quantities produced inexpensively and beyond the requirements when used on internal combustion engines in vehicles, meeting the requirements for contact safety.
  • the lamellar contact has a slot in the longitudinal direction and at least one projecting projection is provided on the base body, wherein the projection is deformed after assembly of the lamella contact on the base body such that the projection after deformation at least partially over at least one longitudinal ridge the lamellar contact protrudes.
  • the base body has at least one projecting projection, in particular a plurality of protruding (radially projecting) projections, over which the blade contact is pushed.
  • This at least one projection for example, in the region of the slot of the fin contact or in a space which is formed by a plurality of longitudinal webs of the fin contact, be arranged on the base body.
  • the lamellar contact is reliably and permanently fixed to the base body so that the lamellar contact can no longer expand and thus jump off the base body.
  • This combination of longitudinal slot of the lamellar contact and projection on the base body, which is deformed, can thus be advantageously such a connector, especially in large.
  • Produce quantities cost-effectively and reliably, while the durability, especially the contact reliability, is ensured during operation of the connector to the internal combustion engine. Above all, it is no longer necessary to design the lamellar contact (shape or material) or to assemble so that it rests flush on the base body.
  • the widened blade contact is preferably pressed automatically on the base body, so that it rests flush there, and then the at least one projection plastically permanently deformed (also preferably automated), so that the Lammellentim permanently flush rests on the body.
  • the one projection or the plurality of projections which protrude from the base body are arranged in particular in such a region in which the slot of the blade contact mounted on the base body rests.
  • a housing cap 6 is present, which has not relevant here detent means with which the connector 1 can be brought to a mating connector to the glow plug of the internal combustion engine in connection. If a plurality of lamellar contacts 3 to 5 are present, they are separated by means of a spacer ring 7 which protrudes from the main body 3.
  • the lamellar contact 3 has in the transverse direction to the longitudinal direction of the connector 1 in its end regions encircling webs 31, 32, wherein, starting from the circumferential web 31, which is located in the direction of the housing cap 6, a Contact web 33 extends in the direction of the housing cap 6 and there opens into a contact lug 34. About this contact lug 34, a cable can be connected, with which the connector 1 is connected to an unillustrated engine control unit. Between the two encircling webs 31, 32, a plurality of longitudinal webs 35 oriented longitudinally are provided to form the laminar contact 3.
  • the lamellar contact 3 in the radial direction due to a slot 36 is open, so that it can be expanded for mounting on the base body 2 and pushed over this.
  • This widening is also necessary so that, for example, the further lamellar contacts 4, 5 can be pushed over the spacer rings 7.
  • the slot 36 has the additional task of providing the widening in order to be able to move the lamellar contact 3 over a projection 21, preferably a plurality of projections which protrude from the base body 2.
  • the lamellar contact 3 is pressed against the base body 2, so that the at least one projection 21 can pass through an intermediate space which is formed by the encircling webs 31, 32 and the longitudinal webs 35. Thereafter, this at least one projection 21 is mechanically deformed, so that the blade contact 3 is fixed in this position on the base body 2. A lifting of the blade contact 3 of the main body 2 can then be done in any case.
  • a manufacturing and assembly process of the connector 1 according to the invention can be seen in, for example:
  • a base body 2 made of a plastic is produced in a plastic injection molding process, the at least one blade contact 3 is made of a sheet metal strip in a punch bending process and pre-bent, the prefabricated blade contact 3 is pushed over the main body 2 of the connector 1 and compressed, wherein then the at least one projection 21 of the base body 2, which protrudes in an open space between the webs 31, 32, 35, 37 of the blade contact 3, is mechanically deformed.
  • the deformation takes place in such a way that the surface of the deformed projections lies on a radius which is smaller than the radius on which in particular the longitudinal webs 35 of the lamellar contact 3 lie.
  • the projections 21 projecting from the base body 2 are mechanically deformed (for example caulked by means of a stamping tool), so that this process can be automated.
  • this cold deformation it is also conceivable to heat and reshape the projections 21 in such a way that they protrude beyond at least one web 31, 32, 35, 37 of the disk contact 3.
