Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical coupling device, in particular for high currents and high continuous currents, with at least one connector socket, preferably a RADSOK socket.
  • the electrical coupling device according to the invention is intended to carry high currents of typically 80 amperes to several hundred amperes, whereby the coupling device can be permanently loaded. Both continuous currents and pulse currents occur. Pulse currents and surges are possible up to the kiloampere range for a short time. The range of application is suitable for outdoor applications with humid ambient conditions. In particular, where high currents are required and at the same time high demands are placed on the tightness of a connector due to the environmental conditions, there is a need for a connector, softer enough of these tasks.
  • a socket for such a high-current coupling device is, for example, in the US 2003/0068931 A1 (published on 10 April 2003 ).
  • high-current plug-in systems which are also known as hyperbolic plug systems with linearly-cut, arranged on the inside of the bushing slats, which receive their hyperbolic shape by a well-defined rotation during assembly, allow the plugging operation, a contact coverage of up to 65% of the surface.
  • the cross-section of the arranged on the inside of the sleeve resilient blades is larger at the ends of the sleeve than in the middle, where the actual electrical contact between the socket and the pin takes place.
  • the electrical coupling device characterized in that the aforementioned RADSOK socket is inserted into a housing which has cover-side openings and an O-ring seal.
  • the O-ring seal serves to protect a contact chamber housing, which is arranged in the surrounding housing of the coupling device, against environmental influences.
  • the contact chamber is formed substantially radially symmetrical and cylindrical around the RADSOK contact. Outside, so around the contact chamber, there is a substantially cylindrical jacket-shaped receiving space for a mating connector, which can be arranged pluggable with the coupling device.
  • an O-ring is mounted according to the invention.
  • openings which serve to fill a sealing liquid after the installation of the RADSOK socket and the cable in the surrounding housing with the appropriate sealant.
  • the sealant also helps seal the cable feed or cable outlet from the environment.
  • the cable outlet is provided with a locking rib, so that a corrugated hose can be fixedly mounted directly on the connector.
  • sealing compound which is introduced into the opening of the upper housing part of the electrical coupling device, does not exit between the housing shells, but seals the corrugated hose connection with respect to the housing.
  • the housing is designed as a housing upper part and housing lower part.
  • the in the Fig. 1 to 4 illustrated embodiment of the electrical coupling device according to the invention consists of an upper housing part 2 and a lower housing part 3, which are mechanically connected to each other by means of locking elements 17. On the upper housing part and the lower housing part are each parts of the cable outlet. 6
  • the present embodiment shows an electrical coupling device, in which the cable outlet 6 is formed at an angle of 90 ° to the insertion direction of the coupling device.
  • a cylindrical locking flange 7 At the end of the cable outlet 6 is a cylindrical locking flange 7, on each of which at the top and the bottom, ie on the upper housing part and lower housing part a locking rib 8 is arranged.
  • the locking rib 8 is used to define a corrugated hose, not shown.
  • the corrugated tube can engage with its Wellschlaucheinbuchtitch in the locking ribs and is thereby securely attached to the electrical coupling device 1.
  • the coupling device 1 further comprises a RADSOK contact or generally a radially symmetrical female contact 4.
  • the female contact 4 is mounted in a contact chamber 5.
  • the contact chamber 5 is itself formed as a substantially cylindrical radially symmetrical contact chamber.
  • a substantially planar annular portion 18 which closes the contact chamber 5 so that the radially symmetrical contact 4 is firmly locked in the contact chamber 5.
  • a substantially planar annular portion 18 At the end of the contact chamber 5 on the mating side of the coupling device 1 is a substantially planar annular portion 18, which closes the contact chamber 5 so that the radially symmetrical contact 4 is firmly locked in the contact chamber 5.
  • At the contact chamber 5 is circumferentially outside an O-ring 16th
  • a receiving space 19 for a plug-in with the coupling device 1 mating connector is located between the contact chamber 5 and the lower housing part 3.
  • the demolding column 15 are indeed openings for the connector housing, however, are harmless with respect to the entry of moisture, since the coupling device according to the invention defines its sealing surface on the contact chamber 5, so that outer openings are harmless.
  • the coupling device 1 on the lower housing part 2 via a front-end locking arrangement, namely a front-side locking element 9.
  • the front-side locking element 9 comprises two spring tongues 11 a, 11 b, via which the locking element 9 is connected to the lower housing part 2 movable.
  • the locking element 9 When inserting the coupling device 1 in the corresponding mating connector, the locking element 9 can be swung out of its position by means of the spring tongues 11a, 11b in such a way that at the end of the plugging movement, the locking element 9 firmly locked with a counter-locking element attached to the mating connector.
  • the opening 10 serves to equip the connector according to the invention with the feature that the coupling device 1 is completely filled with a sealant D.
  • sealant D any flowable sealant which is suitable to flow into the cavities of the housing of the coupling device 1 can be used.
  • the viscosity of a sealant D can be adjusted so that the housing is sealed up to the cable outlet 6 so that the connector is completely completely sealed.
