Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder mit einem kabelordnenden Einsatz für eine vereinfachte Anordnung von elektrischen Adern innerhalb eines Steckverbindergehäuses und zur Gewährleistung einer ausreichenden Kabellänge der elektrischen Adern mit daran anzufügenden elektrischen Kontakten.The invention relates to a connector with a cable-laying insert for a simplified arrangement of electrical wires within a connector housing and to ensure a sufficient cable length of the electrical wires with electrical contacts to be attached thereto.

Ein derartiger Kabelmanager ist vorteilhaft, um in einen Steckverbinder einzulegende elektrische Adern mit daran angefügten elektrischen Kontakten passgenau in dazu vorgesehenen Kammern zu ordnen und zu fixieren.Such a cable manager is advantageous in order to arrange in a connector to be inserted electrical wires with attached thereto electrical contacts accurately in chambers provided for this purpose and to fix.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der DE 100 19 294 ist ein mehrpoliger, elektrischer Rundsteckverbinder bekannt, der mehrere ineinander verschachtelte Kontaktträgerteile aufweist, innerhalb derer, axial ausgerichtete Klemmhalterungen vorgesehen sind, in denen elektrische Kontakte fixierbar sind.From the DE 100 19 294 is a multi-pole, electrical circular connector known, which has a plurality of nested contact carrier parts, within which, axially aligned clamping brackets are provided, in which electrical contacts can be fixed.

Des Weiteren ist aus der US 5,645,456 ein aus zwei Hälften gebildeter elektrischer Steckverbinder gezeigt, der zum Einen mittels einer Durchgangsbohrung ein Kabel umfassen kann, und zum Anderen in zwei aneinandergefügten Kreisringabschnitten, jeweils isolierend um die Durchgangsbohrung herum angeordnet, mehrere Steckerhülsen umfasst, in denen beidseitig axial zur Durchgangsbohrung, Stiftkontakte mit weiteren elektrischen Leitern miteinander verbindbar sind.Furthermore, from the US 5,645,456 an electrical connector formed from two halves, which may comprise a cable by means of a through hole, and on the other in two joined circular ring sections, each insulating around the through hole around, comprises a plurality of plug sleeves in which both sides axially to the through hole, pin contacts with others electrical conductors are connected to each other.

Weiterhin wird in der DE 20 2006 000 336 U1 ein Steckverbinder mit vereinfachter Kabelführung vorgestellt, wobei in den Steckverbinder ein zylinderförmiger Grundkörper einfügbar ist, bei dem die elektrischen Leiter in halboffene Kammern längs des Grundkörpers einzulegen sind. Die an die elektrischen Leiter angefügten Kontakte werden in Kontaktöffnungen eines weiteren Kontaktträgers gehalten.Furthermore, in the DE 20 2006 000 336 U1 a connector with simplified cable management presented, wherein in the connector, a cylindrical body is inserted, in which the electrical conductors are inserted into half-open chambers along the body. The attached to the electrical conductors contacts are held in contact openings of another contact carrier.

Bei der überwiegenden Mehrzahl herkömmlichen Rundsteckverbinder müssen die elektrischen Adern oder Kabel mit den elektrischen Kontakten mehr oder weniger auf eine bestimmte Länge geschnitten und abisoliert werden, was aber bei einer Feldkonfektion nicht immer gewährleistet ist. Insbesondere bei einer Vor-Ort-Montage sind fehlerhafte Anbindungen der Kontakte mit den elektrischen Adern und deren Montage im Steckverbinder leicht geschehen.In the vast majority of conventional circular connectors, the electrical wires or cables with the electrical contacts must be more or less cut to a certain length and stripped, but this is not always guaranteed in a field assembly. In particular, in an on-site installation faulty connections of the contacts with the electrical wires and their installation in the connector are easily done.

Aufgabenstellungtask

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Montage von elektrischen Adern und deren zugehörigen elektrischen Kontakte zum Einsatz in einem Steckverbindergehäuse möglichst einfach und effektiv, insbesondere unter Einbeziehung einer vor Ort oder Feldmontage zu gestalten.The invention is therefore based on the object as simple and effective to make the assembly of electrical wires and their associated electrical contacts for use in a connector housing, in particular with the inclusion of a local or field mounting.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass mindestens eine der elektrischen Ader mit einem elektrischen Kontakt im Zentrum des aus zwei Halbschalen gebildeten Kontaktträgers angeordnet ist, dass die Halbschalen des Kontaktträgers auf ihrer Außenseite mehrere halboffene Kammern aufweisen, zur selbsthaltenden Aufnahme weiterer mit den elektrischen Kontakten versehenen elektrischen Adern, und dass an dem Kabelmanager ein axial ausgerichteter Längenstift, angeformt ist, an dem die Kabellängen der elektrischen Leiter auszurichten sind.This object is achieved in that at least one of the electrical wires is arranged with an electrical contact in the center of the contact carrier formed from two half-shells, that the half-shells of the contact carrier on its outer side have a plurality of half-open chambers for self-holding receiving further provided with the electrical contacts electrical Cores, and that on the cable manager an axially aligned length pin, is formed, on which the cable lengths of the electrical conductors are to be aligned.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 - 5 angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in claims 2-5.

Es sind durchaus unterschiedliche Kabelmanager für eine ordnende Aufnahme von elektrischen Adern oder Kabeln in Zusammenhang mit elektrischen Kontakten und deren Anordnung in Steckverbindern bekannt.There are quite different cable manager for an orderly recording of electrical wires or cables in connection with electrical contacts and their arrangement in connectors known.

Bei vorgefertigten, konfektionierten Kabeln haben die elektrischen Adern und die daran angefügten elektrischen Kontakte stets die korrekte Länge und können exakt im Steckverbindergehäuse verlegt werden.With prefabricated, pre-fabricated cables, the electrical wires and the electrical contacts attached to them always have the correct length and can be laid exactly in the connector housing.

Um eine ähnliche und einfache Möglichkeit für eine vor Ort Montage zu schaffen, wird ein so genannter Kabelmanager vorgeschlagen, der vorteilhafterweise einen Maßstab oder Längenstift aufweist, an dem die einzelnen elektrischen Adern abgemessen und entsprechend gekappt werden können, so dass nach Anfügen der entsprechenden elektrischen Kontakte, stets die gewünschte und exakte Länge der in den Steckverbinder einzufügenden elektrischen Adern gewährleistet ist.To provide a similar and easy way for on-site assembly, a so-called cable manager is proposed, which advantageously has a scale or length pin on which the individual electrical wires can be measured and cut accordingly, so that after attaching the corresponding electrical contacts , always the desired and exact length of the inserted into the connector electrical wires is guaranteed.

Dazu wird zunächst eine so genannte Druckschraube und eine Dichtung des Steckverbinders auf ein abisoliertes Kabel mit freigelegten elektrischen Adern aufgeschoben und anschließend die herausragenden einzelnen Adern in entsprechende, axial in, auf der Außenfläche des scheibenförmigen Kabelmanagers eingeformte, Ausnehmungen eingelegt.For this purpose, a so-called pressure screw and a seal of the connector is first pushed onto a stripped cable with exposed electrical wires and then inserted the outstanding individual wires in corresponding, axially in, formed on the outer surface of the disc-shaped cable manager, recesses.

Dabei sind an einem umlaufenden Bund des Kabelmanagers im Bereich dieser Ausnehmungen Überhänge vorgesehen, so dass die in den Ausnehmungen eingesetzten Adern nicht sofort herausrutschen können.In this case, overhangs are provided on a circumferential collar of the cable manager in the region of these recesses, so that the wires inserted in the recesses can not slip out immediately.

Nach dem teilweisen Einsetzen des Kabelmanagers in die Dichtung wird ein hutförmiges, elektrisch leitendes Schirmelement aufgeschoben, dass mittels einer Ausnehmung an einem Zapfen an der Dichtung fixiert wird.After the partial insertion of the cable manager in the seal, a hat-shaped, electrically conductive screen element is pushed, which is fixed by means of a recess on a pin on the seal.

An dem Kabelmanager ist weiterhin ein axial ausgerichteter Längenstift angeformt, dessen Länge bei richtiger Positionierung des Kabelmanagers in und an der Dichtung, die exakte Adernlänge darstellt. Sind die elektrischen Adern entsprechend abgeschnitten, kann der Längenstift ebenfalls abgeschnitten oder abgebrochen werden.An axially aligned length pin is also formed on the cable manager, the length of which, given correct positioning of the cable manager in and on the seal, represents the exact wire length. If the electrical wires are cut off accordingly, the length pin can also be cut off or broken off.

Die jetzt gekürzten elektrischen Adern werden mit entsprechenden elektrischen Kontakten verbunden und in - vorzugsweise farbkodierte - halboffene Ausnehmungen eines an das Schirmelement anzusetzenden Kontaktträgers eingelegt. Wobei der Kontaktträger vorteilhafterweise aus zwei über ein Filmscharnier verbundene Halbschalen gebildet ist. So dass zumindest eine elektrische Ader auch im Zentrum des Kontaktträgers eingefügt werden kann, während die übrigen elektrischen Adern auf die axial über den Umfang verteilten Ausnehmungen einzulegen und dort auch klemmend gehalten werden.The now shortened electrical wires are connected to corresponding electrical contacts and inserted into - preferably color-coded - half-open recesses of a be applied to the screen element contact carrier. Wherein the contact carrier is advantageously formed of two connected via a film hinge half shells. So that at least one electrical wire can also be inserted in the center of the contact carrier, while the remaining electrical wires insert on the axially distributed over the circumference recesses and are also held there by clamping.

Anschließend wird die Steckverbinderhülse auf die oben beschriebenen montierten Teile aufgeschoben und mit der Druckschraube verschraubt.Then the connector sleeve is pushed onto the assembled parts described above and screwed with the pressure screw.

In der Fig. 1 ist zur allgemeinen Übersicht eine explosionsartige Zeichnung aller für diesen Rundsteckverbinder 1 relevanten Teile mit einem mehrere elektrische Adern 7 umfassenden elektrischen Kabel 6 dargestellt.In the Fig. 1 For the general overview, an exploded drawing of all relevant parts for this circular connector 1 parts with a plurality of electrical wires 7 comprehensive electrical cable 6 is shown.

Daraus ist ersichtlich, dass der Rundsteckverbinder 1 aus einer Steckverbinderhülse 2 gebildet ist, die letztlich mit einer Druckschraube 4 die inneren Bauteile miteinander fixiert.It can be seen that the circular connector 1 is formed from a connector sleeve 2, which ultimately fixes the inner components together with a pressure screw 4.

Zu diesen Bauteilen zählt auch ein Kontaktträger 20, der die Enden der elektrischen Adern 7 mit daran angefügten elektrischen Kontakten 28 aufnimmt.These components also include a contact carrier 20 which receives the ends of the electrical wires 7 with electrical contacts 28 attached thereto.

Weiterhin ist ein so genannter Kabelmanager 10 vorgesehen, der teilweise innerhalb eines elektrisch leitenden Schirmelementes 35 angeordnet ist, welches wiederum auf einer Dichtung 30 fixiert ist, über die das Abschirmgeflecht 8 des elektrischen Kabels 6 gestülpt ist.Furthermore, a so-called cable manager 10 is provided, which is partially disposed within an electrically conductive screen element 35, which in turn is fixed on a seal 30 over which the Abschirmgeflecht 8 of the electric cable 6 is slipped.

Auf die Dichtung 30 wirkt die Druckschraube 4 beim Verschrauben mit der Steckverbinderhülse 2 ein, so dass das elektrische Kabel 6 gegen Zugbelastungen und das Steckerinnere gegen Umweltbelastungen gesichert ist.On the seal 30, the pressure screw 4 acts when screwing with the connector sleeve 2, so that the electrical cable 6 is secured against tensile loads and the plug inside against environmental pollution.

In der Fig.2a und Fig. 2b ist der Kabelmanager 10 mit zwei unterschiedlichen Ansichten dargestellt.In the 2a and 2b the cable manager 10 is shown with two different views.

Der Kabelmanager ist als Kunststoffspritzteil gefertigt und stellt prinzipiell ein scheibenförmiges Rundstück 11 dar, zum Einsatz in die Steckverbinderhülse 2.The cable manager is manufactured as a plastic injection-molded part and in principle constitutes a disc-shaped round piece 11, for use in the connector sleeve 2.

Die Außenseite des Kabelmanagers 10 zeigt mehrere auf den Umfang verteilte, axial ausgerichtete halboffene Kammern 13, die zur Aufnahme der elektrischen Adern 7 vorgesehen sind. Zusätzlich ist noch eine ins Zentrum weisende, längliche Öffnung 14 vorgesehen, die zum einen eine mittige elektrische Ader in der Zentralöffnung 15 sowie zusätzlich eine außenliegende elektrische Ader aufnimmt, so dass insgesamt fünf elektrische Adern 7 gebündelt werden.The outside of the cable manager 10 shows a plurality of circumferentially distributed, axially aligned half-open chambers 13, which are provided for receiving the electrical wires 7. In addition, an elongated opening 14 pointing into the center is provided, which on the one hand accommodates a central electrical conductor in the central opening 15 and additionally an external electrical conductor, so that a total of five electrical conductors 7 are bundled.

Zur Selbsthalterung der elektrischen Adern 7 ist an jeder der halboffenen Kammer 13 bereichsweise ein die Kammern verengender Überhang 17 angeformt, der letztlich aus einem den Kabelmanager 10 umgebenden Bund 16 herausgebildet ist.For self-mounting of the electrical wires 7, a chamber 17 narrowing the chambers is partially formed on each of the half-open chamber 13, which is ultimately formed out of a cable manager 10 surrounding collar 16.

Weiterhin weist der Kabelmanager 10 einen axial ausgerichteten Längenstift 12 auf, auf dessen Länge alle im Kabelmanager 10 geführten elektrischen Adern 7 bei der Steckermontage zu kürzen sind. Nach dem Kürzen wird der Längenstift 12 an einer Sollbruchstelle abgeschnitten oder abgebrochen.Furthermore, the cable manager 10 has an axially aligned length pin 12, on the length of all run in the cable manager 10 electrical wires 7 are shortened in the connector mounting. After shortening the length pin 12 is cut or broken off at a predetermined breaking point.

In der Fig. 3 ist der Kontaktträger 20 dargestellt, der aus zwei Halbschalen 21 gebildet ist, um letztlich auch den mittigen, elektrischen Kontakt aufnehmen zu können.In the Fig. 3 the contact carrier 20 is shown, which is formed from two half-shells 21, to ultimately accommodate the central, electrical contact.

Die beiden Halbschalen 21 sind mittels eines Filmscharniers 22 miteinander schwenkbar verbunden.The two half-shells 21 are pivotally connected to each other by means of a film hinge 22.

Im Inneren der Halbschalen 21 ist jeweils eine halboffene Zentralkammer 24 für den mittigen elektrischen Kontakt 28 und der daran angefügten elektrischen Ader 7 eingeformt. Zum Verrasten der beiden Halbschalen 21 ist eine Kombination aus einem Rasthaken 25 der an einem Hinterschnitt 26 verrastet, vorgesehen.In the interior of the half-shells 21, a half-open central chamber 24 for the central electrical contact 28 and the electrical wire 7 attached thereto is formed in each case. For locking the two half-shells 21, a combination of a latching hook 25 is latched to an undercut 26 is provided.

Die Fig. 4 zeigt das elektrische Kabel 6, auf das bereits eine für den Rundsteckverbinder 1 erforderliche Druckschraube 4 oder auch Überwurfmutter aufgeschoben ist.The Fig. 4 shows the electrical cable 6, to which a required for the circular connector 1 pressure screw 4 or union nut is pushed.

Des Weiteren ist eine Dichtung 30 mit einem Gleitring 33 sowie mehrere bereits in dem Kabelmanager 10 in den halboffenen Kammern 13 eingefügte elektrische Adern 7 ersichtlich. Das zur Abschirmung des Kabels 6 vorgesehenes Abschirmgeflecht 8 ist bereits aufgefächert und bis über die Dichtung 30 wieder zurück umgeschlagen worden.Furthermore, a seal 30 with a sliding ring 33 as well as several electric wires 7 already inserted in the cable manager 10 in the half-open chambers 13 can be seen. The shielding braid 8 provided for shielding the cable 6 has already been fanned out and has been turned back over the seal 30.

Anschließend wird der Kabelmanager 10 zumindest teilweise in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung in die Dichtung 30 hineingeschoben, so dass der Kabelmanager 10 bereits mit dem Abschirmgeflecht 8 leicht fixiert wird. Dann wird das hutförmige Schirmelement 35 auf den Kabelmanager 10 und auf das Abschirmgeflecht 8 auf der Dichtung 30 aufgeschoben und mittels einer entsprechend passenden Ausnehmung 36 mit einer Arretiernase 31 an der Dichtung 30 verdrehsicher verbunden. (Fig. 5)Subsequently, the cable manager 10 is at least partially pushed into a corresponding recess in the seal 30, so that the cable manager 10 is already easily fixed to the Abschirmgeflecht 8. Then the hat-shaped shield member 35 is pushed onto the cable manager 10 and the Abschirmflelecht 8 on the seal 30 and connected by a correspondingly fitting recess 36 with a locking lug 31 on the seal 30 against rotation. ( Fig. 5 )

Dabei übernimmt das elektrisch leitende Schirmelement 35 die abschirmende Wirkung des Abschirmgeflechtes 8 und leitet sie später an die elektrisch leitende Steckverbinderhülse 2 weiter.In this case, the electrically conductive shielding element 35 takes over the shielding effect of the Abschirmgeflechtes 8 and later passes them to the electrically conductive connector sleeve 2 on.

Damit sind Dichtung, Leiterführungsteil und Schirmelement zusammen mit den elektrischen Leitern zu einem Teil miteinander verbunden.This seal, conductor guide part and shielding element are connected together with the electrical conductors to a part.

Jetzt werden die elektrischen Adern 7 auf die Länge des Längenstiftes 12 am Kabelmanager 10 gekürzt und anschließend der Längenstift 12 an einer Sollbruchstelle abgeschnitten oder abgebrochen.Now the electrical wires 7 are shortened to the length of the length pin 12 on the cable manager 10 and then cut the length pin 12 at a predetermined breaking point or canceled.

Anschließend werden die elektrischen Adern 7 mit entsprechenden elektrischen Kontakten 28 mittels eines Crimpverfahrens verbunden.Subsequently, the electrical wires 7 are connected to corresponding electrical contacts 28 by means of a crimping process.

Damit ist sichergestellt, dass alle elektrischen Adern zusammen mit den elektrischen Kontakten die exakte Länge für den Rundsteckverbinder aufweisen.This ensures that all electrical wires together with the electrical contacts have the exact length for the circular connector.

Wie in der Fig. 6 angedeutet, werden die elektrischen Kontakte 28 zusammen mit den elektrischen Adern 7 in den Kontaktträger 20 eingefügt. Dazu werden zunächst die Außenadern am Kabelmanager 10 nach außen gebogen, so dass die Mittenader in die geöffneten Halbschalen 21 des Kontaktträgers eingefügt werden kann und mit Schließen und Verrasten der Halbschalen in der Zentralkammer 24 fixiert ist.Like in the Fig. 6 indicated, the electrical contacts 28 are inserted together with the electrical wires 7 in the contact carrier 20. For this purpose, first the outer wires are bent on the cable manager 10 to the outside, so that the middle wire can be inserted into the open half-shells 21 of the contact carrier and is fixed in the central chamber 24 with closing and locking the half-shells.

Dazu ist der Kontaktträger 20 dicht an den Kabelmanager 10 heranzuführen. Anschließend werden die umgebogenen Adern 7 in die nach außen gerichteten halboffenen Kammern 23 eingelegt, wobei sie leicht in den Kammern verklemmt werden.For this purpose, the contact carrier 20 is to be brought close to the cable manager 10. Subsequently, the bent wires 7 are inserted into the outwardly directed half-open chambers 23, whereby they are easily jammed in the chambers.

Dabei können die Kammern 23, 24 für eine einfache Handhabung entsprechend der Kabelfarben farbkodiert sein.The chambers 23, 24 may be color-coded for ease of handling according to the cable colors.

Aus der bereits erwähnten Fig. 1 ist zu sehen, wie jetzt die Steckverbinderhülse 2 auf die zusammengefassten Teile von Dichtung 30, Kabelmanager 10, Schirmelement 35, Kontaktträger 20 und der elektrischen Kontakte 28 mit den Adern 7 aufschiebbar ist und mit der Druckschraube 4 zu einem funktionsfähigen Rundsteckverbinder 1 verschraubt wird.
