Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device intended to be provided on a plug of the type having a first end and a second end, wherein a cable comprising at least one conductor in a cable sheathing is inserted in the first end, leaving a gap between the plug and the cable sheathing, and wherein the second end of the plug is to be inserted in a socket in a housing of an electrical appliance, such as an electrical actuator, for establishing an electrical connection between the appliance and the cable conductors.
  • an electrical appliance such as an electrical actuator
  • Fig. 1 shows a housing containing an electrical actuator.
  • this capsulated actuator in its housing is mounted in a cabinet, which is sealed and to which the end user has no access, a detachable electrical connector of the type shown in Fig. 1 is used.
  • This connector consists of a plug 2, in which a cable 3 is inserted and where there is a gap between the plug 2 and a cable sheathing 5.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device for a plug of the above mentioned type which device solves the above-mentioned problem.
  • This object is achieved by means of a device intended to be provided on a plug of the type having a first end and a second end, wherein a cable comprising at least one conductor in a cable sheathing is inserted in the first end, leaving a gap between the plug and the cable sheathing, and wherein the second end is to be inserted in a socket in a housing of an electrical appliance, such as an electrical actuator, for establishing an electrical connection between the appliance and the cable conductors, which device is characterised by a casing comprising two shells with means for tightly locking the shells together along their longitudinal edges, wherein the casing has an interior form adapted to form-fittingly receive the first end of the plug and a part of the cable including the adjacent cable sheathing, with an opening at each end of the casing, such that the cable is protruding from one end of the casing and the second end
  • the casing preferably has two extensions arranged opposite each other and in parallel with the second end of the plug, when the plug is enclosed in the casing, wherein each extension has a locking wedge, which, when the casing and the enclosed plug are inserted in the socket, permanently locks the casing and the enclosed plug in a mating notch inside the housing.
  • Alternative locking means such as screws or other fastener could be used.
  • the casing is preferably integrally molded in one piece with film hinges between the shells.
  • the means for locking the shells together preferably comprises a snap connection, although wire clips or snap rings also could be used. This provides for rapid and simple closing of the casing without the need of additional tools.
  • the casing has means for sealing against and clamping the cable sheathing for providing a strain relief of the conductors.
  • the interior form of the casing is further designed to enclose an unlocking handle on the plug for preventing unintentional disconnection.
  • the object of the invention is further an electrical connector comprising a plug of the above mentioned typ, which connector is provided with a casing of the above mentioned type.
  • Fig. 2 is shown an actuator housing 6.
  • An electrical connector in form of a plug with a device 1 according the invention is inserted in a socket in the housing 6.
  • the plug 2 which is shown more in detail in Fig. 1 , 4 and 5 , has a first end 2a and a second end 2b.
  • a cable 3 comprising several conductors 4 in a cable sheathing 5 is inserted in the first end 2a, leaving a gap between the plug 2 and the cable sheathing 5. Hence, the conductors 4 are not covered by the cable sheathing in the gap.
  • the second end 2b is to be inserted in the socket in the housing 6 of the electrical actuator, for establishing an electrical connection between the actuator and the cable conductors.
  • the plug further has a resilient unlocking handle 16, which when pressed unlocks the inserted plug from the socket.
  • the device 1 is a casing 1 comprising two shells 1 a, 1 b with snap connection 11a, 11b for tightly locking the shells together along one of their longitudinal edges.
  • the casing 1 is integrally molded in one piece with film hinges 10 between the shells along the other of their longitudinal edges. Each shell covers a longitudinal half of the plug and the cable.
  • the interior form of the casing is designed to form-fittingly receive the first end 2a of the plug 2 and the adjacent cable sheathing 5.
  • the casing 1 has an opening at each end, wherein the cable 3 is protruding from one end, below called cable end of the casing, and the second end 2b of the plug 2 is protruding from the other end, below called plug end of the casing, when the plug 2 and the associated cable 3 are lying in the casing 1.
  • the cable end of the casing is essentially circular in cross section for mating with the cable, and each shell at the cable end has hence the form of a semicircular channel.
  • An inner wall of each semicircular channel is provided with a bead 8.
  • the beads 8 are arranged such that they together form an annular ring which is sealing against the cable sheathing 5 when the plug 2 and the associated cable 3 are present in the casing 1, thus preventing ingress of foreign objects into the interior of the casing.
  • the beads 8 together with the tabs 12, projecting towards the centre of the opening at the outermost cable end, are clamping the cable sheathing 5, thus providing a strain relief for the cable.
  • the plug end of the casing is essentially rectangular in cross section for mating with the essentially rectangular first end 2a of the plug.
  • the semicircular channel at the cable end continues in a channel comprising a bottom wall and two side walls arranged essentially right-angled in relation to each other at the plug end.
  • the bottom wall and one side wall are plane, whereas the other side wall is curved in order to accommodate the unlocking handle 16 on the plug 2. This prevents unintentional detaching of the plug as the resilient handle 16 is covered by the casing 1, making it impossible to activate.
  • the curved side wall ends at the free end thereof with a flange 9 directed towards the centre of the plug end opening.
  • the plug has at the first end 2a a raised edge 2a' at each long side.
  • the shells have corresponding grooves 15 for receiving the raised edges. Hence with the raised edges inserted in the grooves the plug is prevented from gliding in relation to the casing.
  • the casing further has means for making the plug and socket connection a permanent electrical connection.
  • This means comprises two extensions 13 arranged at the opening of the plug end of the casing, opposite each other and in parallel with the second end 2b of the plug 2, when the plug is present in the casing.
  • Each extension 13 has a locking wedge 14.
  • the housing 6 has a socket opening 6' sized to tight-fittingly receive the extensions 13 as well as the second end 2b of the plug.
  • the casing is simply enveloped around the plug and part of the cable, snap locked and inserted in a socket. Once locked the casing cannot be opened. The wedges are preventing withdrawal of the casing from the socket.
  • the plug end of the casing is abutting the actuator housing wall and is covering the socket opening.
  • the interior form of the casing has been described in relation to a specific form of plug. With a different form of the plug the casing will have another but mating form.
  • the plug could be a male connector and the socket a female connector, or vice versa.
  • Other electrical appliances than actuators could be installed in the housing.
