Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen elektrischen Gerätesteckverbinder, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to an electrical appliance connector, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich insbesondere auf einen Gerätesteckverbinder, bestehend aus einem Gerätestecker und einer Gerätebuchse. Unter Gerätestecker und Gerätebuchse sowie unter Gerätesteckverbinder, im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung, sind solche Steckverbinder zu verstehen, die fest an einem Gerät vorzugsweise in einem Montageausschnitt einer Gehäusewand eingebaut sind. In bekannten Anwendungen kann in solch eine Gerätebuchse oder in solch einen Gerätestecker jeweils ein Kabelstecker beziehungsweise eine Kabeldose eingeführt werden zur elektrischen Verbindung mit dieser. Unter Kabelstecker und Kabeldosen sind korrespondierende Steckverbinder gemeint, die mit einer Leitung verbunden sind. Es gibt jedoch zahlreiche Anwendungsfälle, bei denen nicht ein so genannter freier Kabelstecker oder eine freie Kabeldose mit einem solchen Gerätestecker beziehungsweise einer Gerätebuchse zu verbinden ist, sondern ein erstes Gerät mit einem zweiten Gerät in elektrischen Kontakt zu bringen ist. Vorzugsweise ist am ersten Gerät ein Gerätestecker und am zweiten Gerät eine Gerätebuchse montiert, die korrespondierend zueinander ausgerichtet sind und so bei Bewegung des zweiten Gerätes relativ zum ersten Gerät in elektrischen Kontakt zu bringen sind.The invention relates in particular to a device connector, consisting of a device connector and a device socket. Device plug and device socket and device connectors, in the context of the present invention, such connectors are to be understood, which are fixedly mounted on a device preferably in a mounting cutout of a housing wall. In known applications, in each case a cable plug or a cable socket can be inserted into such a device socket or in such a device plug for electrical connection with this. Cable connectors and cable sockets mean corresponding connectors that are connected to a cable. However, there are numerous applications in which it is not necessary to connect a so-called free cable plug or a free cable socket with such a device plug or a device socket, but to bring a first device with a second device in electrical contact. Preferably, a device plug is mounted on the first device and a device socket on the second device, which are aligned corresponding to each other and so are to bring in motion of the second device relative to the first device in electrical contact.
In der Praxis sind beispielsweise solche Geräte auf Förderschienen befestigt oder an Montagevorrichtungen angebracht, die relativ zueinander bewegbar sind. Beispielsweise werden bei elektrisch angetriebenen Fahrrädern oder Fahrzeugen der Versorgungsbatteriepack mit dem Ladebatteriepack bei Bedarf in elektrische Verbindung gebracht und nach einem Ladevorgang wieder von diesem getrennt. Hierzu ist die Ladevorrichtung auf einem Gestell am Fahrzeug montiert, welches beweglich zu der Versorgungseinrichtung angeordnet ist. Zur Kontaktierung wird die erste Einrichtung relativ zur zweiten Einrichtung bewegt, solange bis der erste Gerätestecker mit der korrespondierenden Gerätebuchse am zweiten Gerät in Eingriff gebracht ist. Hierbei treten allerdings die Probleme auf, dass das erste Gerät und das zweite Gerät in Bezug auf Einbaulage und Position,
sowie fertigungsbedingt Toleranzen unterliegen, das heißt, es ergeben sich einerseits Toleranzen bedingt durch den Einbau der Geräte zueinander, andererseits durch die geometrischen Abmessungen der Geräte selbst und drittens durch die Führungselemente und beweglichen Elemente um die Geräte zueinander relativ zu bewegen. Durch Addition all dieser Toleranzen kann es vorkommen, dass sich bei Verschieben des ersten Gerätes zum zweiten Gerät dieses nicht mehr mit dem ersten in elektrische Verbindung bringen lässt, beziehungsweise der Gerätestecker und die Gerätebuchse nicht mehr zueinander fluchten und daher fehlerhaft zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Ähnliche Schwierigkeiten treten auf, bei gelenkig miteinander verbundenen und zueinander beweglichen Bauteilen, die mit elektrischen Verbrauchern ausgerüstet sind, welche von einer gemeinsamen, in einem der Bauteile installierten elektrischen Energiequelle gespeist werden, nämlich eine funktionsfähige und störungsunanfällige elektrische Verbindung zwischen den beweglichen Bauteilen herzustellen. Hierbei darf einerseits die Beweglichkeit der Bauteile durch die elektrische Verbindungen nicht eingeschränkt werden, aber ebenso wenig die Wirkungsweise und die Lebensdauer nachteilig beeinträchtigt.In practice, for example, such devices are mounted on conveyor rails or attached to mounting devices which are movable relative to each other. For example, in electrically powered bicycles or vehicles, the supply battery pack is brought into electrical connection with the charge battery pack when needed and disconnected from it after a charge. For this purpose, the loading device is mounted on a frame on the vehicle, which is arranged to be movable to the supply device. For contacting, the first device is moved relative to the second device until the first device plug is brought into engagement with the corresponding device socket on the second device. However, the problems arise here that the first device and the second device in terms of installation position and position,
as well as manufacturing tolerances subject, that is, on the one hand tolerances caused by the installation of the devices to each other, on the other hand by the geometric dimensions of the devices themselves and thirdly by the guide elements and moving elements to the devices relative to each other to move relative. By adding all these tolerances, it may happen that when moving the first device to the second device this can no longer be brought into electrical connection with the first, or the device plug and the device socket are no longer aligned and therefore incorrectly aligned. Similar difficulties arise in hingedly interconnected and mutually movable components which are equipped with electrical consumers, which are fed by a common, installed in one of the components electrical energy source, namely to produce a functional and störungsunanfällige electrical connection between the moving components. In this case, on the one hand, the mobility of the components by the electrical connections must not be limited, but also the operation and the life adversely affected adversely.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine elektrische Gerätesteckverbindung gattungsgemäßer Art zu schaffen, die fertigungs- und montagebedingte Lagertoleranzen zwischen den beweglichen Geräten, insbesondere dem Gerätestecker und der Gerätebuchse, auszugleichen gestattet beziehungsweise diese während des Steckvorgangs durch Toleranzausgleich zu eliminieren.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an electrical connector device of the generic type generic, the manufacturing and assembly-related bearing tolerances between the moving devices, in particular the device connector and the device socket to compensate or to eliminate them during the plug-in operation by tolerance compensation.
Weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Gerätestecker und eine Gerätebuchse bereitzustellen, die einfach zu montieren ist und keine Veränderungen an der Geräteseite notwendig sind, so dass solche Steckverbinderpaare in herkömmliche Gehäusewände von Geräten einsetzbar sind, um fertigungs- und montagebedingte Lagetoleranzen zueinander auszugteichen. Eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, gleichzeitig den Gerätestecker oder die Gerätebuchse derart auszugestalten, dass eine Dichtwirkung zur Umwelt insbesondere gegen Umwelteinflüsse Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz gegeben ist. Weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine solche Lösung zu finden, die neben den zuvor genannten Eigenschaften eine sichere und stabile Montage ermöglicht.Another object of the present invention is to provide a device connector and a device socket, which is easy to assemble and no changes to the device side are necessary, so that such connector pairs can be used in conventional housing walls of equipment to compensate for manufacturing and assembly-related positional tolerances to each other. Another object of the present invention is to simultaneously design the device connector or the device socket such that a sealing effect is given to the environment in particular against environmental influences moisture and dirt. Another object of the present invention is to find such a solution which, in addition to the aforementioned properties, enables safe and stable assembly.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.According to the invention the object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, einen Gerätesteckverbinder mit einer Gleitkupplung auszustatten, so dass der gesamte Gerätesteckverbinder in seiner Montageposition relativ zu seiner Lage gleitend bewegbar ist. Weiterhin liegt der Erfindung der Gedanke zugrunde, dass die Gleitkupplung gleichzeitig als Toleranzausgleichmittel für die Gerätesteckverbindung in einer Richtung senkrecht zu Gleitebene dient und in seiner Dicke federnd ausgebildet ist. Dadurch wird die Haltekraft für ein Befestigungsmittel zur Arretierung des Steckverbinders an der Gerätewand durch die Gleitkupplung erzeugt.The invention is based on the idea to equip a device connector with a sliding coupling, so that the entire appliance connector is slidably movable in its mounting position relative to its position. Furthermore, the invention is based on the idea that the sliding coupling also serves as a tolerance compensation means for the device plug connection in a direction perpendicular to the sliding plane and is resilient in its thickness. Thereby, the holding force for a fastening means for locking the connector is generated on the device wall by the sliding coupling.
Im Folgenden wird der Erfindungsgedanke an nur einem der beiden Gerätesteckverbinderpaare, nämlich dem Gerätestecker, beschrieben. Bevorzugt wird der Gerätestecker mit einem Flansch ausgebildet, welcher eine Anlagefläche für den Gerätesteckverbinder senkrecht zu seiner Steckrichtung bildet. Der Steckverbinder verfügt weiterhin über eine Steckkontur, die ebenfalls senkrecht zum Flansch angeordnet ist. Ein erfindungsgemäßer Gerätestecker umfasst daher einen Flansch, an dem eine Gleitkupplung angebracht ist, welche zwischen der Gehäusewand und dem Anlageflansch des Steckverbinders zum Gehäuse angeordnet ist. Anders ausgedrückt bedeutet dies, bei der Montage eines Gerätesteckverbinders in ein Gehäuse, beziehungsweise in eine korrespondierende Gehäuseöffnung, liegt der Flansch an der Außenseite des Gehäuses an und zwischen der Gehäusewand und einem Befestigungsmittel ist eine Gleitkupplung derart angeordnet, dass der Gehäuseflansch über die Gleitkupplung relativ zur Gehäusefläche hin- und her bewegbar ist und somit parallel zur Flanschfläche verschiebbar ist und zwar so weit, bis die Außenkontur des Gerätesteckers, welche in das Gehäuse hineinragt, mit den Kanten der Gehäuseöffnung zur Anlage kommt. Bevorzugt wird daher, als Gehäuseausschnitt ein Durchmesser gewählt, beziehungsweise eine Ausschnittsform gewählt, die der Geometrie des Steckverbinders entspricht, aber zu dieser um den gewünschten Toleranzausgleichsbereich vergrößert ausgebildet ist. Der erfindungsgemäße Steckverbinder weist weiterhin mehrere Rastnasen auf, die dazu geeignet sind, den Steckverbinder von der Innensite des Gehäuses, mittels dem zuvor benannten Befestigungsmittels an dem Gehäuse über die Gleitkupplung zu verrasten. Um eine möglichst gleichmäßige und flächige Anlage zu erzielen, ist es vorteilhaft, mehrere radial umfängliche Rastmittel, vorzugsweise Rastnasen, an dem Gerätesteckverbinder anzubringen und zwar an dem Teil des Gerätesteckers, welcher in das Gehäuse, beziehungsweise durch die zu montierende Gehäuseöffnung, in das Gehäuse hineinragt in eine Position, in der ein Befestigungsmittel gegen die Rastnase und unter Kompression der Gleitkupplung verrastbar anzuordnen ist.In the following, the concept of the invention is described on only one of the two connector pairs, namely the device plug. Preferably, the device connector is formed with a flange which forms a contact surface for the device connector perpendicular to its plugging direction. The connector also has a plug contour, which is also arranged perpendicular to the flange. An inventive device plug therefore comprises a flange on which a sliding coupling is mounted, which is arranged between the housing wall and the abutment flange of the connector to the housing. In other words, this means when mounting a device connector in a housing, or in a corresponding housing opening, the flange is located on the outside of the housing and between the housing wall and a fastening means a sliding coupling is arranged such that the housing flange on the sliding coupling relative to Housing surface is movable back and forth and thus parallel to the flange surface is displaced and indeed so far until the outer contour of the device plug, which projects into the housing, comes with the edges of the housing opening to the plant. Preferably, therefore, selected as the housing cutout a diameter, or selected a cutout shape that corresponds to the geometry of the connector, but is formed to this enlarged by the desired tolerance compensation range. The connector according to the invention further comprises a plurality of locking lugs, which are adapted to lock the connector from the inner side of the housing, by means of the above-mentioned fastening means on the housing via the sliding coupling. In order to achieve the most uniform and flat contact, it is advantageous to attach a plurality of radially peripheral latching means, preferably latching lugs on the connector device and that on the part of the device plug, which projects into the housing, or through the housing opening to be mounted, in the housing in a position in which a fastening means against the latching lug and under compression of the sliding clutch is to be arranged latched.
Erfindungsgemäß hat die Gleitkupplung in der Einbausituation vier Aufgaben. Nämlich die des Toleranzausgleichsmittels senkrecht zur Steckrichtung und damit senkrecht zum Flansch, sowie die Funktion der Erzielung der gewünschten Bewegungsfreiheit parallel zur Flanschebene, weiterhin die Aufgabe, der Abdichtung zum Gehäuseinneren und die Erzeugung der notwendigen Haltekraft durch Kompression.According to the sliding coupling has four tasks in the installation situation. Namely, the tolerance compensation means perpendicular to the direction of insertion and thus perpendicular to the flange, and the function of achieving the desired freedom of movement parallel to the flange, continue the task of sealing the housing interior and the generation of the necessary holding force by compression.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist somit der Gerätestecker für eine Vorwand- oder wahlweise Rückwandmontage geeignet. Bei der Vorwandmontage wird der Steckverbinder von Außen durch das Gehäuse geschoben bis der Flansch an der Gehäusewand anliegt. Vom Gehäuseinneren wird die Gleitkupplung zur Anlage mit der Gehäusewand derart gebracht, dass diese über die in das Gehäuse hineinragende Anschlusskontur des Steckverbinders geschoben wird und dann mittels des Befestigungsmittels zur Anlage mit der Gehäusewand gebracht wird, derart, dass das Befestigungsmittel gegen die Gleitkupplung gedrückt wird, bis dieses mit den Rastnasen verrastet und den Gerätestecker in seiner Montageposition mit der Gehäusewand gleitend fixiert. In dieser Einbausituation ist gewährleistet, dass der Gerätestecker parallel zur Fläche des Gehäuses gleitend verschoben werden kann und zwar abhängig davon, wie groß die Montageöffnung gewählt wurde. Hierzu sind Flanschdurchmesser, Gehäuseöffnung und Gleitkupplungsgröße und Kompressionsfähigkeit jeweils aufeinander abzustimmen und entsprechend den zu erwarteten Toleranzen im Gesamtsystem auszulegen.In a preferred embodiment, the device connector is thus suitable for a front wall or optionally rear wall mounting. When mounting on the wall, the connector is pushed from the outside through the housing until the flange rests against the housing wall. From the inside of the housing, the sliding coupling is brought to bear against the housing wall such that it is pushed over the projecting into the housing terminal contour of the connector and then brought by means of the fastening means for engagement with the housing wall, such that the fastening means against the sliding coupling is pressed until it locks with the locking lugs and the device plug in its mounting position with the housing wall slidably fixed. In this installation situation, it is ensured that the device plug can be slid parallel to the surface of the housing, depending on how large the mounting hole was chosen. For this purpose, flange diameter, housing opening and Gleitkupplungsgröße and compressibility are each matched to each other and interpreted according to the expected tolerances in the overall system.
An der Steckkontur des Gerätesteckers befinden sich Einlaufschrägen zur Findung mit dem korrespondierenden Gegenstecker, nämlich der Gerätebuchse. Erfindungsgemäß sind auf der Gerätebuchseseite an den Kontaktbuchsenöffnungen Einführtrichter ausgebildet, die dafür sorgen, dass im Rahmen der Toleranz die korrespondierende Gegenseite des Gerätesteckers, nämlich die Steckkontur auf die Schräge der buchsenförmigen Öffnungen aufläuft und in Folge der bei zunehmenden Steckvorgang erzeugten Kraft, parallel zur Gehäusewand wunschgemäß verschoben wird, bedingt durch die Funktion der Gleitkupplung. Anders ausgedrückt bedeutet dies, dass zwei Geräte, die zueinander positioniert sind und miteinander in Eingriff gebracht werden sollen und nicht exakt zueinander ausgerichtet sind, die Steckkontur des Gerätesteckers auf dem Flansch der korrespondierenden Gerätebuchse aufläuft und dadurch ein Stecken verhindert werden würde. In dem vorliegenden Fall jedoch ist der Trichter so weit ausgebildet, dass die fertigungs- und montagebedingten Toleranzen damit abgefangen werden, so dass die Steckkontur, sprich die Einführschrägen an der Steckkontur des Gerätesteckers auf die Schrägen des Einführtrichters auf der Gerätebuchseseite treffen und diesen in seiner relativen Lage über die Gleitkupplung soweit verschieben, bis ein Eintauchen der Steckkontur in die korrespondierende Buchsenkontur möglich ist. Werden beide Steckerpaare, also der Gerätestecker und die Gerätebuchse mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Gleitkupplung versehen, so können in diesem Rahmen doppelte Ausgleichswege genutzt werden, ohne die Monatgeausschnitte entsprechend vergrößern zu müssen. Durch die Wahl der Gleitkupplung werden gleichzeitig Unebenheiten in der Gehäusewand aufgefangen und Toleranzen, die die Planparallelität von der ersten Gehäusewand zur zweiten Gehäusewand bedingen, ebenfalls ausgeglichen.On the plug contour of the device plug are inlet slopes for the determination with the corresponding mating connector, namely the device socket. According to the insertion bushes are formed on the socket side of the bushings openings, which ensure that within the tolerance of the corresponding opposite side of the device plug, namely the plug contour runs on the slope of the sleeve-shaped openings and as a result of the force generated during increasing plugging operation, parallel to the housing wall as desired is shifted due to the function of the sliding coupling. In other words, this means that two devices that are positioned to each other and are to be engaged with each other and not exactly aligned with each other, the plug contour of the device plug runs on the flange of the corresponding device socket and thereby plugging would be prevented. In the present case, however, the funnel is formed so far that the manufacturing and assembly-related tolerances are intercepted so that meet the plug contour, ie the insertion bevels on the plug contour of the device plug on the slopes of the insertion funnel on the device socket side and this in its relative Shift the position via the sliding coupling until the plug contour can be dipped into the corresponding socket contour. If both pairs of plugs, ie the appliance plug and the appliance socket, are provided with a sliding coupling according to the invention, double compensation paths can be used in this frame without having to correspondingly enlarge the monthly cutouts. By choosing the sliding coupling, unevennesses in the housing wall are simultaneously absorbed and tolerances, which cause the plane parallelism of the first housing wall to the second housing wall, also compensated.
Erfindungsgemäß eignet sich vorzugsweise zur Ausbildung einer solchen Gleitkupplung mit Toleranzausgleichseffekt und mit der Funktion zur Dichtung zum Außenbereich hin eine Gleitkupplung aus Zellkautschuk. Zusätzlich zur Ausbildung mit einer Gleitkupplung auf der Innenseite der Gehäuse- und Montagewand kann natürlich der erfindungsgemäße Steckverbinder auch mit einer Gleitkupplung auf der Außenseite des Flansches ausgeführt werden. Alternativ kann natürlich zur Ausbildung der Steckkontur mit Einführschrägen und den korrespondierenden Einführtrichter auf der Buchsenseite eine Kontur angeordnet werden, die dazu dient, den Steckverbinder über einen definierten Toleranzbereich entlang einer auf der Gegenseite gebildeten Führungsfläche beziehungsweise gebildeten Einführschrägen so auszurichten, dass der Steckverbinder in die gewünschte Lage bewegt wird.
