Definitions

  • the invention is based on a plug connection between electrical and / or electronic components, in which electrical plug contacts of a connector arranged directly on one component are plugged into a socket arranged directly on the other component, wherein the components are interconnected by connecting means or to form an assembly are summarized, according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, a method for producing such a connector is given in claim 14.
  • the control electronics for controlling actuator / sensor assemblies in commercial vehicle brake systems are housed in a separate module for many applications to allow deployment on different models.
  • a central connector for signal / power transmission to the actuator / sensor assembly must be used for the electrical connection of an actuator / sensor assembly with the associated control electronics.
  • the controller containing the control electronics is usually attached directly to the actuator / sensor assembly and the respective housing screwed together. Since in this case at least the plug or the socket of the connector to the housing of the actuator / sensor assembly and the associated socket or the associated plug of the connector to the housing of the controller are arranged directly, ie without further cable connection, is in the context of the connection process the two housing usually also automatically made the connector by the plug and the socket to each other simultaneously by joining the two housings in alignment and then come into engagement with each other. Then, although the control unit and the actuator / sensor assembly are firmly connected, but not the plug with the socket, so that it can not be ruled out under conditions of use that it due to shaking and vibrational stresses, albeit small movements between the plug and the jack comes. This leads to contact friction and thus damage to the contact surfaces, which, in addition to a transmission of false signals, can lead to a total failure of the controller.
  • harnesses between the actuator / sensor assembly and the associated, then not directly blocked, but remote control unit are used. Although these guarantee a certain mechanical decoupling of the connector from the source of structure-borne noise, but lead due to additional lines, the associated installation costs and additional connectors to higher costs and risk of failure.
  • the invention is based on the object to further develop a connector of the type mentioned that the above-mentioned disadvantages are avoided. Furthermore, a method for producing such a connector is to be specified.
  • the invention is based on the idea that separate, independent of the connecting means of the components connector securing means are provided which secure the connector against movement of the plug relative to the socket and vice versa. Then neither the plug nor the socket can perform relative movements to each other, which damage the electrical contacts. It is crucial that the connection or the fuse of the connection between the plug and Socket is independent of the connection between the two electrical or electronic components and is manufactured separately from this.
  • the housings of the two components are initially positioned relative to one another in the assembly position.
  • the plug and the socket are initially positioned relative to one another in the assembly position.
  • the plug and the socket in this mounting position can already be positioned against each other so that with the joining of the housing of the components and the plug with the socket at least.
  • the plug connection i. An electrical contact between the plug and socket at least partially come about.
  • the connector securing means for example in the form of a screw, which is tightened. Due to the fixed screw the plug is fixed in position relative to the socket, so that no negative influence on the contact stability relative movements can take place more.
  • the connector at least partially comes about simultaneously with the joining of the housing of the components, relatively small tolerances in the positioning of the connector with respect to the housing of a component or the socket relative to the housing of the other component must be complied with, with a certain cost connected is.
  • the plug is held on one component and / or the socket on the other component via an elastic body such that it is deformable due to forces which during manufacture and / or securing the connector through the Plug-in security occur.
  • the elastic body serves then for tolerance compensation when making or securing the connector as, for example, the plug and / or the socket elasticity in a plane perpendicular to the direction of insertion can be brought from its initial position, that the plug is aligned with the socket and thus the connector can come about at all.
  • the plug and the socket for example, already in assembly position of the components may be in alignment with each other or then partially mesh, wherein the distance of the plug from the socket in the insertion direction is tolerances too large or too small. Then, the elastic body can provide a compensation parallel to the insertion direction by elastically deforming when tightening the screw to ensure that the plug reaches its full insertion depth in the socket.
  • the elastic body may include a perpendicular to the plane of the board flexible circuit board, a perpendicular to the lattice plane flexible punched grid or a wiring harness, which is arranged within one of the components.
  • the circuit board or the lead frame in addition to its function as a carrier of electrical and / or electronic components simultaneously assumes the function of the elastic holder for the plug or socket.
  • the connector securing means preferably include at least one screw which is screwed with its screw shaft by a thread of the elastically mounted socket or the elastically mounted connector and screwed into at least one threaded hole of one of the components such that the elastically mounted plug or the elastically mounted socket when screwing the Screw in the threaded bore of a component in the direction of the rigidly mounted on the other component socket or screwed to the other component rigidly mounted plug.
  • the screw not only forms a securing means of the connection between the plug and the socket, but it ensures when tightening the Screw simultaneously for the transport of the component elastically mounted on a connector or elastically mounted on the one component sleeve in the direction of the other component rigidly mounted socket or rigidly mounted on the other component connector in the sense of a linear guide.
  • the screw can be countered with its screw head on the one component rigidly mounted on the plug or on the one component rigidly mounted socket and be guided with its screw shaft through a hole in the rigidly mounted socket or in the rigidly mounted plug.
  • the connector securing means in particular the at least one screw connection with respect to the housing of the components can be reached from the outside.
  • This can for example be realized in that the connector securing means are arranged on housings of the components laterally accessible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a connector according to a preferred embodiment of the invention with not yet firmly drawn connector securing means
  • FIG. 2 shows the connector of Figure 1 with firmly tightened connector securing means.
  • FIG. 1 shows a connector 1 between electrical and / or electronic components according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which it is between an actuator and sensor assembly not shown here for reasons of scale and one of this assembly assigned, also not shown here control device of a braking device of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle is formed.
  • the assignment can also be reversed.
  • the control unit together with the actuator and sensor assembly, for example, a pressure control module (DRM) as part of an electronic pneumatic system, in particular a brake system and the interface between the electronic part and the pneumatic part.
  • the pressure control module converts into the control unit controlled, generated by a Popemsmodul electrical brake setpoint pressure signals in pneumatic brake pressures. This reaction takes place with an inlet-Auslassmagnetventilkombination, which acts on a relay valve.
  • a pressure sensor measures the modulated brake pressure and reports it to the control unit for setpoint / actual value comparison.
  • a brake pressure control can take place in a closed loop.
  • the pressure control module includes an electromagnetic back-up valve, which shuts off pneumatic control pressures of the foot brake module to allow unaffected electrical pressure control. Only when the electronics fail, the back-up valve turns on and the brake pressures are generated solely due to the pneumatic control pressures.
  • the housing of the control unit and the housing of the actuator / sensor assembly are positioned in the assembly position to each other to screw them together by connecting means, such as screws.
  • the plug 2 and the socket 6 are preferably arranged on the respective housing in such a way that they automatically interlock during the joining of the housing, so that the plug connection 1 also comes about at least partially with the joining of the housing.
  • This can for example be realized in that the mounting or joining direction of the housing parallel to the marked by an arrow 36 Plug-in direction of the connector 1 is.
  • the connector 1 is basically made, but not yet completely assembled. Because even with already finished, i. along with you
  • Butt joint contacting housings are, for example, a contact strip 10 carrying the flat contacts 4 of the plug 2 and a female connector 12 with the
  • the sleeves 8 of the female connector 12 protrude through prefabricated holes of a stamped grid or a flexible printed circuit board 18 of the actuator and sensor assembly and are there for example welded, soldered or connected by eg a cutting / clamping technology.
  • the punched grid 18 serves as a printed circuit board and circuit carrier of electrical and electronic components of the actuator and sensor assembly and is formed parallel to the insertion direction 36 of the connector 1 elastic, for example, that it is laterally mounted in the actuator and sensor assembly and its central region 20 parallel to the insertion direction 36 can be deformed by a certain way, preferably at least by the clear width 14 between the contact strip 10 and the female connector 12.
  • connection of the female connector 12 of the socket 6 on the actuator and sensor assembly is at least parallel to the insertion direction 36 of the connector 1 elastic.
  • the plug 2 by an elastic body and the sleeve 6 rigid or both these and the plug 2 may be supported by a respective elastic body in the respective housing.
  • separate and independent connector securing means are provided which secure the connector 1 against movement of the plug 2 relative to the socket 6 and vice versa. The final connection or securing the connection between the plug 2 and socket 6 is thus independent of the connection between the two housings and is manufactured separately from this.
  • the connector securing means may be formed, for example, in the form of screw 22 between the contact strip 10 and the female connector 12.
  • the screw 22 are preferably formed at the lateral ends of the contact strip 10 and the female connector 12 and each have a screw 24, which is countered with its screw head 26, for example, at the top of a held in the contact strip 10 through bushing 28.
  • the screw shaft 30 extends through the through bushing 28 and can be screwed through a threaded bore of the bush 6, which is formed, for example, by a bushing 32 held in the bushing 12.
  • the cast dome 16 are in turn fixed and rigidly connected to the housing of the actuator and sensor assembly.
  • the screw 22, in particular the screw heads 26 are based on the housing accessible from the outside, to be able to start a tool. This can be realized, for example, in that the screw connections 22 are arranged on the housings accessible from the side.
  • the screws 24 are finally screwed into the blind holes 31 of the dome 16, whereby the female connector 12 screwed with their threaded bushes 32 away from the casting dome 16 in the direction of contact strip 10 until it rests against this on impact and, as indicated schematically in FIG. 2, the center region 20 of the stamped grid 18 bends towards the contact strip 10, because it is pulled upwards by the sleeves 8.
