Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Berckentikvorraum for a connector pin according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention therefore relates to a Berstoffschutzvorraum for a pin, in particular a pin or a socket of an electrical connector, which are accessible to touch.
  • the problem regularly arises that in electrical plugs, especially in unipolar electrical connectors, the problem arises that the pin or the socket (plug pin) are arranged in the connector housing, so that they are touched with a finger. This can, if the plug pin is under an electrical load, for example, an electrical voltage, lead to impairment of health and life. In order to avoid these dangerous conditions, there are different solutions in the prior art.
  • a common way to protect a pin against contact is the application of an insulating head at the end of the connector pin, so that not the connector pin itself is touchable, but only the electrically insulating portion which has been attached to the end of the connector pin.
  • the US 2,755,449 deals with an electrical connector which has improved insulation to prevent the connector from inadvertent short circuiting, with the entire length of the connector being surrounded by a flexible sheath that can be reversibly compressed as the connector and mating connector mate , This shell also represents a form of contact protection.
  • an electrical socket connector having an electrically insulating housing and an electrical contact therein, surrounded by a shielding sleeve around the contact.
  • the shielding sleeve is arranged compressible along the plug axis and protects at least in a certain area the plug against accidental contact.
  • the DE 600 11 654 T2 discloses a male connector for wet environment, in particular an underwater connector having a protective sheath surrounding the connector, the sheath being secured by a first end secured to the front end portion and a rear end secured to the rear end of the male connector; has, wherein the sheaths have coaxial longitudinal axes and are formed of a material, although kinked in the longitudinal direction but are designed to be radially resilient, whereby this can be pushed together reversibly in the radial direction when mating the connector pairs.
  • the revelation PCT / EP2006 / 005337 also deals with an insulating environment of an electrical connection part, in this case an electrical connection part for connecting a jumper cable.
  • This disclosure teaches to form an insulating cover in a tubular manner and to arrange it around a central axis of the connecting part so as to be movable around it.
  • the movable insulating cover thus protects against unwanted electrical contacts.
  • the insulating cover is preferably formed mechanically stable as a one-piece tube or one-piece tube and consists in particular of a low-cost, electrically insulating plastic, for example, a rubber grommet.
  • the JP 2005-056617 discloses an adapter having a contact which is surrounded and protected by an elastically compressible contact protection device, and wherein the contact protection device has an opening through which the contact can penetrate.
  • the present invention has the object of providing an improved contact protection device for a connector pin, which can also be installed in connector systems already on the market without a contact protection device.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the additional object of providing a contact protection device of universal type.
  • the present invention therefore makes use of a double impact protection effect in particular.
  • a similar, as known from the prior art contact protection device is applied to the end of the connector pin.
  • a second universally attachable to the connector pin inventive Bermmstoffvorlegizier around the entire connector pin around (in the electrically conductive region) is arranged.
  • a contact protection device made of a flexible protective jacket preferably a bellows, is fastened with a holding and connecting portion on the plug pin or on the plug pin such that a top plate of the contact protection device, which represents the end of the flexible protective jacket, can be moved with its opening along the plug pin so that the mating connector can be plugged into the connector pin of said connector.
  • the shock protection device can only move as intended, if the Mating connector bestimmunization on the connector pin, that is pushed symmetrically to the plug axis and actuated in the further operation of the flexible protective sheath of Bermmterrorismvorraum.
  • the contact protection device thus has two operable states.
  • a condition as intended which occurs by intended contact and thus symmetrical contact with the mating connector (which can be pressed Berstoffvorraum) and a security state, which prevents actuation of the contact protection device (by tilting the symmetrically constructed contact protection device).
  • the Fig. 1 shows a partition wall bushing, thus an electrical connector, in which a connector pin 1 is arranged in a housing 2 for the transmission of electrical energy.
  • the plug pin 1 can be touched at both ends.
  • the housing 2 has two housing openings into which can be immersed with a finger and thus the connector pin 1 can come into electrical contact with the finger touch.
  • the Fig. 2 shows a detail of one end of a connector pin 1 at the plug-side end of an insulating cap 4 is applied with a circumferential groove 5.
  • the plug pin 1 is shown as a substantially symmetrically formed cylindrical pin 1 pin.
  • the aforementioned insulating cap 4 At the plug-side end of the plug pin 1 is the aforementioned insulating cap 4, which has substantially the same outer diameter as the connector pin 1.
  • the insulating cap 4 has guide portions 7, which at the same time forms the lateral surface (outer wall) of the insulating cap 4.
  • the plug-in axis S is formed by the center axis of the plug pin 1, which is also the central axis of the insulating cap 4.
  • the connector pin 1 is arranged in a housing 2 made of electrically insulating material, which has a housing wall 3, which in the Fig. 2 is shown only by way of example.
  • the housing wall 3 extends substantially in approximately up to the height of the electrically conductive end of the connector pin 1 or extends slightly beyond.
  • the insulating cap 4 may optionally be arranged completely inside the housing 2 or else project beyond the housing wall 3. However, it may be that the distance between the housing wall 3 and the outer jacket 6 of the connector pin 1 is sufficiently large that you could reach with a finger on the insulating cap 4 and thus in could get the space between pin and housing wall.
  • a Berstoffschutzvorraum 20 arranged.
  • the contact protection device 20 comprises a head plate 21 made of insulating material, in the center of which an opening 22 is provided, which corresponds essentially to the outer diameter of the plug pin 1.
  • the opening has the same geometry as the outer geometry of the connector pin. In the embodiment shown here is therefore a circular opening, so a hole whose diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of the connector pin 1 approximately.
  • a surrounding around the connector pin flexible protective jacket 23 is arranged, which preferably has resilient properties.
  • a resilient compressible bellows is used for this purpose.
  • the bellows is circumferentially on the outer portion 26, so to speak ring-shaped, connected to the top plate 21.
  • the flexible protective jacket 23 (bellows) is mechanically connected to a holding section 25 on a connecting means 24 with the housing or alternatively with the inserted plug pin.
  • the Fig. 2 shows the state in which a corresponding mating connector in the direction S, so the axial direction of insertion of the connector pin can be brought into electrical connection with this, thus the intended initial state.
  • the head plate 21 If, however, the head plate 21 is touched outside of the thru-axle with a finger or object, then it tilts at an angle ⁇ from the vertical to the thru-axle S and tilts in the groove 5 and / or on the outer casing 6 of the connector pin 1. Unintentional operation is therefore excluded.
