Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Fixieren wenigstens einer Kupplung an einem Trägerteil gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for fixing at least one coupling to a carrier part according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der Praxis sind Vorrichtungen zum Fixieren von Kupplungen an einem Trägerteil bekannt, die über einen an dem Trägerteil zu befestigenden Träger verfügen, an dem eine Anzahl von paarweise einander gegenüberliegenden, von dem Träger abstehenden federnden Schnapphaken angebracht sind, die die Kupplung zum Fixieren umgreifen. Zwar lassen sich bei diesen vorbekannten Vorrichtungen die Kupplungen hinreichend gegen unbeabsichtigtes Lösen an dem Träger fixieren, allerdings müssen die beiden Teile der betreffenden Kupplung zuvor miteinander verbunden worden sein. Dies ist jedoch nicht in allen Anwendungsfällen zweckmäßig oder überhaupt möglich.From practice, devices for fixing couplings to a support member are known, which have a carrier to be fixed to the support on which a number of pairs opposite each other, protruding from the carrier resilient snap hooks are mounted, which engage around the coupling for fixing. Although in these prior art devices, the clutches can be adequately fixed against unintentional release on the carrier, however, the two parts of the relevant clutch must have been previously connected to one another. However, this is not expedient or even possible in all applications.

Eine bekannte Vorrichtung gemäβ dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 ist in der Offenlegungsschrift FR 2 117 082 A offenbart.A known device according to the preamble of claim 1 is in the published patent application FR 2 117 082 A disclosed.

in a perspective view of an embodiment of an inventive device for fixing four clutches on a support member and
Fig. 2
in a perspective view of another embodiment of a device according to the invention for fixing a coupling to a support member.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Ansicht ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Fixieren von vier Kupplungen 1 des Typs FAKRA, wobei in Fig. 1 lediglich zwei Kupplungen 1 dargestellt sind. Jede Kupplung 1 verfügt über ein Einsteckteil 2 und ein auf das Einsteckteil 2 aufschiebbares und mit diesem über einen Klinkenmechanismus 3 verrastbares Aufschiebeteil 4. Die Einsteckteile 2 weisen an ihren den Klinkenmechanismen 3 gegenüberliegenden Enden jeweils eine umlaufende Vertiefung 5 und einen die jeweilige Vertiefung 5 endseitig begrenzenden, ebenfalls umlaufenden Kragen 6 mit einem quadratischen Querschnitt auf. Die Einsteckteile 2 und die Aufschiebeteile 4 der Kupplungen 1 sind jeweils mit Endabschnitten von Leitungen 7, 8 wie beispielsweise Antennenleitungen verbunden, zwischen denen eine Verbindung hergestellt werden soll. Fig. 1 shows in a perspective view of an embodiment of an inventive device for fixing four clutches 1 of the type FAKRA, wherein in Fig. 1 only two clutches 1 are shown. Each coupling 1 has a plug-in part 2 and a push-on part 4 which can be pushed onto the plug-in part 2 and latched thereto. The plug-in parts 2 each have a circumferential recess 5 at their ends opposite the latch mechanisms 3 and a respective recess 5 at the end , also circumferential collar 6 with a square cross section. The plug-in parts 2 and the push-on parts 4 of the couplings 1 are respectively connected to end sections of lines 7, 8 such as antenna lines, between which a connection is to be made.

Aus Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, dass zum Fixieren von insgesamt vier Kupplungen 1 das Ausführungsbeispiel über insgesamt vier Halteanordnungen 9 verfügt, die jeweils identisch aufgebaut sind, wobei aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit in Fig. 1 lediglich eine Halteanordnung 9 vollständig mit den in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung vergebenen Bezugszeichen versehen ist.Out Fig. 1 It can be seen that for fixing a total of four couplings 1, the embodiment has a total of four support assemblies 9, which are each constructed identically, for reasons of clarity in Fig. 1 only a holding assembly 9 is completely provided with the reference numerals given in the following description.

Jede Halteanordnung 9 verfügt über zwei in einem Abstand parallel zueinander ausgerichtete längliche Seitenteile 10, 11, die jeweils über eine Seitenwand 12 verfügen, die mit jeweils einer ihrer Längsseiten geringfügig zueinander geneigt mit einem in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als flache Platte ausgebildeten Träger 13 verbunden sind. Jede Seitenwand 12 verfügt an einer in der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 1 vorne angeordneten Einführseite 14 der Halteanordnung 9 über einen flachen Führungsabschnitt 15, der gegenüber einer sich auf der der Einführseite 14 abgewandten Seite des Führungsabschnittes 15 angeordneten Wandeinbuchtung 16 nach innen vorsteht.Each holding arrangement 9 has two elongated side parts 10, 11 which are aligned parallel to one another and each have a side wall 12, which are each slightly inclined to one another with one of their longitudinal sides connected to a carrier 13 formed as a flat plate in this embodiment. Each side wall 12 has at one in the illustration according to Fig. 1 arranged on the front insertion side 14 of the support assembly 9 via a flat guide portion 15 which projects inwardly opposite to a side facing away from the insertion side 14 of the guide portion 15 wall recess 16.

An der der Einführseite 14 zugewandten Randseite ist an jeder Seitenwand 12 ein überstehender Versteifungsbund 17 ausgebildet, der radial außen an der Seitenwand 12 angeordnet ist und sich von dem Träger 13 bis auf die dem Träger 13 abgewandte Längsseite der Seitenwand 12 erstreckt und sich mit einem hakenförmigen Endabschnitt in Richtung des gegenüberliegenden Seitenteiles 10, 11 der jeweiligen Halteanordnung 9 erstreckt.On the side facing the insertion 14 side, a protruding stiffening collar 17 is formed on each side wall 12, which is arranged radially outwardly on the side wall 12 and extends from the carrier 13 to the side facing away from the carrier 13 longitudinal side of the side wall 12 and with a hook-shaped End portion in the direction of the opposite side part 10, 11 of the respective holding arrangement 9 extends.

Weiterhin lässt sich Fig. 1 entnehmen, dass jedes Seitenteil 10, 11 über eine Deckwand 18 verfügt, die auf der dem Träger 13 gegenüberliegenden Randseite an der jeweiligen Seitenwand 12 angeformt ist und sich von der jeweiligen Seitenwand 12 parallel zu dem Träger 13 in Richtung des gegenüberliegenden Seitenteiles 10, 11 der Halteanordnung 9 erstreckt, wobei die aufeinander zu weisenden Stirnseiten der Deckwände 18 einen Abstand voneinander aufweisen, der wenigstens dem Durchmesser der mit dem Einsteckteil 2 verbundenen Leitung 7 entspricht.Furthermore, it is possible Fig. 1 It can be seen that each side part 10, 11 has a top wall 18, which is integrally formed on the edge side opposite the carrier 13 on the respective side wall 12 and from the respective side wall 12 parallel to the carrier 13 in the direction of the opposite side part 10, 11 of holding assembly 9, wherein the mutually facing end faces of the cover walls 18 have a distance from one another, which corresponds at least to the diameter of the line 7 connected to the plug-in part 2.

Der Abstand zwischen den Führungsabschnitten 15 der Seitenwände 12 der Seitenteile 10, 11 einer Halteanordnung 9 sowie der Abstand zwischen dem Träger 13 und den Deckwänden 18 entspricht bis auf ein sehr geringfügiges Spiel im wesentlichen den in der Regel quadratischen Dimensionen des Einsteckteiles 2, so dass das Einsteckteil 2 nach Einfügen der mit ihm verbundenen Leitung 7 in die Halteanordnung 9 zwischen die Seitenteile 10, 11 der jeweiligen Halteanordnung 9 eingeschoben werden kann.The distance between the guide portions 15 of the side walls 12 of the side parts 10, 11 of a holding assembly 9 and the distance between the carrier 13 and the top walls 18 corresponds to a very minor game essentially the generally square dimensions of the male part 2, so that the Inserting part 2 can be inserted into the holding arrangement 9 between the side parts 10, 11 of the respective holding arrangement 9 after insertion of the line 7 connected to it.

Aus jeder Deckwand 18 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel über eine L-förmige Freimachung 19 ein Federarm 20 ausgebildet, dessen Flexionszone 21 auf der der Einführseite 14 zugewandten Seite der Halteanordnung 9 an dem von der Einführseite 14 abgewandten Ende des Führungsabschnittes 15 liegt und an dessen der Einführseite 14 abgewandten freien Ende 22 eine sich in Richtung des Trägers 13 erstreckende Rastnase 23 als Rastelement ausgebildet ist.From each top wall 18, a spring arm 20 is formed in this embodiment via an L-shaped franking 19, the flexion zone 21 on the insertion side 14 facing side of the holding assembly 9 at the end facing away from the insertion 14 end of the guide portion 15 and at the insertion side 14 facing away from free end 22 extending in the direction of the carrier 13 locking lug 23 is formed as a locking element.

Bei einem nicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist anstatt der L-förmigen Freimachung 19 eine U-förmige Freimachung 19 ausgebildet, so dass die Federarme 20 vollständig in die Deckplatten 18 integriert und somit gegen Beschädigung besonders gut geschützt sind.In one embodiment, not shown, instead of the L-shaped franking 19, a U-shaped franking 19 is formed, so that the spring arms 20 are fully integrated into the cover plates 18 and thus are particularly well protected against damage.

Schließlich verfügt jedes Seitenteil 10, 11 einer Halteanordnung 9 auf der der Einführseite 14 abgewandten Seite über an jeweils eine Seitenwand 12 angeformte Abschlussrippe 24, die sich von dem Träger 13 bis zu der jeweiligen Deckwand 18 erstrecken.Finally, each side part 10, 11 of a holding arrangement 9 has on the side facing away from the insertion side 14 on each of a side wall 12 integrally formed end rib 24 extending from the carrier 13 to the respective top wall 18.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 sind den Halteanordnungen 9 auf der Einführseite 14 in Verlängerung der Seitenwände 12 Führungswände 25 vorgelagert, um ein Einführen eines Einsteckteiles 2 in eine Halteanordnung 9 sowie ein Aufschieben eines Aufschiebeteiles 4 auf ein in einer Halteanordnung 9 fixiertes Einsteckteil 2 zu erleichtern.In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 are the support assemblies 9 on the insertion side 14 in extension of the side walls 12 guide walls 25 upstream to facilitate insertion of a male part 2 in a holding assembly 9 and pushing a Aufschiebeteiles 4 on a fixed in a holding assembly 9 plug-in part 2.

An dem Träger 13 ist eine Befestigungsanordnung 26 ausgebildet, um den Träger 13 an einem in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellten Trägerteil zu befestigen.On the carrier 13, a fastening arrangement 26 is formed to the carrier 13 at an in Fig. 1 To attach not shown support part.

Fig. 2 zeigt in einer perspektivischen Ansicht ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung mit einer an einem Träger 13 angebrachten Halteanordnung 9 sowie einer ebenfalls an dem Träger 13 ausgebildeten Befestigungsanordnung 26, die wie bei dem anhand Fig. 1 erläuterten Ausführungsbeispiel aufgebaut sind. Aus Fig. 2 ist ersichtlich, dass die Rastnase 23 über eine der Einführseite 14 zugewandte, in Richtung von der Einführseite 14 weg zu dem Träger 13 ansteigende Aufgleitschräge 27 verfügt und an der der Einführseite 14 abgewandten Seite mit einer rechtwinklig zu dem Träger 13 ausgerichtete flache Anschlagfläche 28 aufweist. Fig. 2 shows in a perspective view another embodiment of a device according to the invention with a mounted on a support 13 holding assembly 9 and a likewise formed on the support 13 mounting assembly 26, which as in the reference Fig. 1 explained embodiment are constructed. Out Fig. 2 It can be seen that the latching nose 23 has an insertion side 14 facing, in the direction of the insertion 14 away from the carrier 13 rising Aufgleitschräge 27 and on the insertion side 14 opposite side with a perpendicular to the carrier 13 aligned flat stop surface 28 has.

Weiterhin lässt sich Fig. 2 entnehmen, dass jede Abschlussrippe 24 über einen an dem Träger 13 angeformten quaderförmigen Säulenabschnitt 29 verfügt, deren aufeinander zu weisende Flachseiten fluchtend mit dem Führungsabschnitt 15 der betreffenden Seitenwand 12 liegen, an der die betreffende Abschlussrippe 24 angeformt ist. Weiterhin weist jede Abschlussrippe 24 an ihrer der jeweiligen Deckwand 18 zugewandten Seite einen Anschlagabschnitt 30 auf, der zwischen dem Säulenabschnitt 29 sowie der Deckwand 18 angeordnet ist und sich über die aufeinander zu weisenden Flachseiten der Säulenabschnitte 29 hinaus in Richtung des jeweils gegenüberliegenden Seitenteiles 10, 11 der Halteanordnung 9 erstreckt, so dass die Anschlagabschnitte 30 den Querschnitt der Halteanordnung 9 gegenüber den Säulenabschnitten 29 verengen. Somit sind zwischen den Anschlagflächen 28 und den Anschlagabschnitten 30 bei jedem Seitenteil 10, 11 einer Halteanordnung 9 Kragenaufnahmeräume 31 ausgebildet, die zweckmäßigerweise so dimensioniert sind, dass die Kragen 6 der Einsteckteile 2 im Wesentlichen spielfrei beziehungsweise allenfalls mit einem geringen Spiel zwischen den Anschlagflächen 28 und den Anschlagabschnitten 30 angeordnet sind.Furthermore, it is possible Fig. 2 It can be seen that each end rib 24 has a parallelepiped-shaped pillar section 29 integrally formed on the support 13, whose flat sides facing each other are in alignment with the guide section 15 of the relevant side wall 12 on which the respective end rib 24 is formed. Furthermore, each end rib 24 has, on its side facing the respective cover wall 18, a stop section 30 which is arranged between the column section 29 and the cover wall 18 and projects beyond the mutually facing flat sides of the column sections 29 in the direction of the respectively opposite one Side part 10, 11 of the holding arrangement 9 extends, so that the stopper portions 30 narrow the cross section of the holding assembly 9 relative to the column sections 29. Thus, 9 collar receiving chambers 31 are formed between the abutment surfaces 28 and the stopper portions 30 at each side part 10, 11 of a holding assembly, which are suitably dimensioned so that the collar 6 of the plug 2 substantially free of play or at most with a small clearance between the stop surfaces 28 and the stopper portions 30 are arranged.

In dem Träger 13 sind zur Aufnahme von an dem Einsteckteil 2 vorhandenen Erhebungen zwischen den Seitenteilen 10, 11 an diese angrenzende Trägerausnehmungen 32, 33 ausgebildet, zwischen denen ein stabilisierender Mittelsteg 34 angeordnet ist.In the carrier 13 are for receiving existing on the male part 2 elevations between the side parts 10, 11 formed on this adjacent Trägerausnehmungen 32, 33, between which a stabilizing central web 34 is arranged.

In Zusammenschau von Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 lässt sich somit eine Kupplung 1 in einer Halteanordnung 9 wie folgt fixieren. Nach Anordnen der mit dem Einsteckteil 2 verbundenen Leitung 7 zwischen den Seitenteilen 10, 11 wird das Einsteckteil 2 von der Einführseite 14 in die Halteanordnung 9 in Richtung der Abschlussrippen 24 eingeschoben, wobei bei Annäherung an die Abschlussrippen 24 die Aufgleitschrägen 27 unter Ausfedern der Federarme 20 an dem Kragen 6 aufgleiten. Nach Eintritt des Kragens 6 in die Kragenaufnahmeräume 31 schnappen die Federarme 20 aufgrund der in den Flexionszonen 21 aufgebauten Spannung unter Eintritt der Rastnasen 23 in die rückseitig des Kragens 6 ausgebildete Vertiefung 5 zurück, so dass der Kragen 6 zum einen durch Anschlag an die Anschlagabschnitte 30 gegen ein weiteres Einschieben blockiert und aufgrund des Hintergreifens des Kragens 6 durch die Anschlagflächen 28 gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Ausschieben in der entgegengesetzten Richtung zu der Einführseite 14 gesichert ist.In synopsis of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 Thus, a coupling 1 can be fixed in a holding arrangement 9 as follows. After arranging the connected to the male part 2 line 7 between the side parts 10, 11, the male part 2 is inserted from the insertion side 14 in the holding assembly 9 in the direction of the end ribs 24, wherein when approaching the end ribs 24, the Aufgleitschrägen 27 under rebound of the spring arms 20th slip on the collar 6. After entering the collar 6 in the collar receiving spaces 31 snap the spring arms 20 due to the built-up in the flexion 21 tension under entry of the locking lugs 23 in the back of the collar 6 formed recess 5, so that the collar 6 on the one hand by abutment against the stopper portions 30th blocked against further insertion and secured due to the gripping behind of the collar 6 by the abutment surfaces 28 against unintentional ejection in the opposite direction to the insertion side 14.

In dieser fixierten Stellung lässt sich nunmehr das Aufschiebeteil 4 auf das Einsteckteil 2 in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Anordnung aufschieben, falls die beiden Teile der Kupplung 1, nämlich das Einsteckteil 2 und das Aufschiebeteil 4, nicht bereits vor dem Einlegen der Leitung 7 in die Halteanordnung 9 miteinander verbunden worden sind.In this fixed position can now be the Aufschiebeteil 4 on the male part 2 in the in Fig. 1 defer shown arrangement, if the two parts of the coupling 1, namely the male part 2 and the slide-4, not already before the insertion of the line 7 have been connected to each other in the holding assembly 9.

Das Einsteckteil 2 beziehungsweise die gesamte Kupplung 1 lässt sich dadurch wieder aus der Halteanordnung 9 entnehmen, indem die Federarme 20 durch ein Werkzeug wie beispielsweise der Klinge eines Schraubendrehers soweit von dem Träger 13 weg abgehoben werden, bis der Hintergriff der Anschlagflächen 28 mit dem Kragen 6 gelöst ist und das Einsteckteil 2 in Richtung der Einführseite 14 bis zum Austritt aus den Seitenteilen 10, 11 verschiebbar ist.The plug-in part 2 or the entire coupling 1 can thereby be removed again from the holding arrangement 9 by the spring arms 20 are lifted by a tool such as the blade of a screwdriver far away from the carrier 13, until the rear grip of the stop surfaces 28 with the collar. 6 is solved and the male part 2 in the direction of the insertion side 14 to the outlet of the side parts 10, 11 is displaceable.
