Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Fixierung eines mit einem Steckverbinder verbundenen elektrischen Kabels, bestehend aus einem Steckverbindergehäuse mit einer angeformten, zylindrischen Kabelaufnahme, in die ein Klemmelement einfügbar und mittels einer Druckschraube in der Kabelaufnahme verschiebbar ist.The invention relates to a device for fixing an electrical cable connected to a connector, consisting of a connector housing with an integrally formed, cylindrical cable receptacle into which a clamping element can be inserted and displaced by means of a pressure screw in the cable receptacle.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung wird benötigt, um ein an Kontaktelementen eines Steckverbinders angeschlossenes Kabel zu verklemmen und am Steckverbindergehäuse zu fixieren. Auftretende Zugkräfte am Kabel sollen aufgenommen und die Kontaktanschlüsse des Steckverbinders, an denen das Kabel kontaktiert ist, entlastet werden.Such a device is needed to clamp a connected to contact elements of a connector cable and to fix the connector housing. Occurring tensile forces on the cable should be recorded and the contact terminals of the connector, where the cable is contacted, be relieved.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Im Stand der Technik sind bereits einige Lösungen zur Befestigung von Kabeln an Steckverbindern bekannt.In the prior art, some solutions for attaching cables to connectors are already known.

In der EP 0 908 995 A1 ist eine Kabelverschraubung gezeigt, die ein Unterteil, eine Überwurfmutter und ein Dichteinsatz aufweist, wobei der Dichteinsatz in der Überwurfmutter angeordnet ist und mit zunehmender axialer Verspannung zwischen dem Unterteil und der Überwurfmutter den Querschnitt verkleinert.In the EP 0 908 995 A1 a cable gland is shown, which has a lower part, a union nut and a sealing insert, wherein the sealing insert is arranged in the union nut and decreases with increasing axial tension between the lower part and the union nut the cross section.

Die DE 100 11 341 A1 offenbart eine elektrische Steckvorrichtung, mit einem Steckergehäuse zur Aufnahme einer Steckdose und/oder eines Steckers, und mit einer Klemmvorrichtung mit Klemmkorb als Zugentlastung für zumindest ein in das Steckergehäuse eingeführtes Kabel. Der Klemmkorb greift mit seinen Klemmzungen in eine Klemmkorbaufnahme mit an die Klemmzungen angepassten Zungenaufnahmen im Steckergehäuse verdrehsicher ein.The DE 100 11 341 A1 discloses an electrical plug-in device, with a plug housing for receiving a socket and / or a plug, and with a clamping device with a clamping cage as a strain relief for at least one cable inserted into the connector housing. The clamping basket engages with its clamping tongues in a terminal basket receptacle with adapted to the clamping tongues tongue receptacles in the connector housing against rotation.

Aus der WO 99/40651 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Einklemmen eines Kabels in elektrische Steckdosen oder Stecker bekannt, die einen Körper umfassen, der eine Verbindungsbuchse umschließt, die mit dem zu klemmenden Kabel verbunden werden kann. Ein Griffelement ist in dem Körper des Auslasses oder Stöpsels zwischen demselben und einer Gewindeverriegelungsmutter auf der Einlassseite des Kabels angeordnet. Das Griffelement ist mit dem Körper durch einen konischen Teil verbunden und wird um das zu klemmende Kabel festgezogen, nachdem die Sicherungsmutter auf den Körper aufgeschraubt worden ist.From the WO 99/40651 For example, there is known a device for clamping a cable into electrical sockets or plugs comprising a body enclosing a connection socket which can be connected to the cable to be clamped. A handle member is disposed in the body of the outlet or plug therebetween and a threaded locking nut on the inlet side of the cable. The handle member is connected to the body by a conical part and is tightened around the cable to be clamped after the lock nut has been screwed onto the body.

Eine oft genutzte Variante für die Zugentlastung von elektrischen Kabeln stellt die so genannte Kronenfeder dar.An often used variant for the strain relief of electrical cables is the so-called crown spring.

Dabei umfasst die Kronenfeder das Kabel und wird durch Eindrücken mittels einer Druckschraube in eine konische Hülle am Steckverbinderende zusammengepresst und hält das Kabel so im Steckverbinder.In this case, the crown spring comprises the cable and is pressed together by pressing by means of a pressure screw in a conical shell at the connector end and holds the cable in the connector.

Nachteilig wirkt sich dabei aus, dass beim Verschrauben der Zugentlastung ein Verdrehen der Kronenfeder bzw. des Dichteinsatzes unvermeidbar ist. Dies kann wiederum zu einer Verdrehung des geklemmten Kabels führen, was wiederum zu einer Verletzung der einzelnen Adern im Kabel führen kann. Zudem sind solche Vorrichtung für jeweils nur bestimmte Kabeldurchmesser geeignet. Für verschiedene Durchmesser müssen somit verschiedene Kronenfedern oder Dichteinsätze zur Verfügung stehen.The disadvantage here is that when screwing the strain relief twisting of the crown spring or the sealing insert is unavoidable. This in turn can lead to a twisting of the clamped cable, which in turn can lead to injury of the individual wires in the cable. In addition, such device are suitable for each specific cable diameter. Different crown springs or sealing inserts must therefore be available for different diameters.

Aufgabenstellungtask

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Verklemmung eines Kabels an einem Steckverbinder anzugeben, die eine Verdrehung des Kabels beim Klemmvorgang verhindert und dabei für Kabel mit verschiedenen Durchmessern geeignet ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a device for jamming a cable to a connector, which prevents twisting of the cable during the clamping process and is suitable for cables with different diameters.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 - 4 angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in claims 2-4.

Bei der Erfindung handelt es sich um eine Vorrichtung die benötigt wird, um ein Kabel, das an einem Steckverbinder angeschlossen ist, an diesem zu verklemmen und dadurch hohe, auf das Kabel wirkende Zugkräfte aufzunehmen und die Anschlüsse im Steckverbinder zu entlasten.In the invention, it is a device which is required to clamp a cable which is connected to a connector, and thereby to absorb high, acting on the cable tensile forces and to relieve the terminals in the connector.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass eine bei ähnlichen Vorrichtungen auftretende Verdrehung des Kabels während der Montage am Steckverbinder verhindert wird. Zudem ist die Verklemmung von Kabeln mit einer größeren Bandbreite unterschiedlicher Durchmesser mit derselben Vorrichtung möglich, ohne auf jeden Durchmesser abgestimmte Teile einsetzen zu müssen.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that a distortion of the cable occurring during similar devices is prevented during assembly on the connector. In addition, the jamming of cables with a wider range of different diameters is possible with the same device, without having to use parts tailored to each diameter.

Ein Steckverbindergehäuse ist zur Aufnahme eines elektrischen Kabels mit einer zylindrischen Kabelaufnahme versehen. In die Kabelaufnahme wird zur Fixierung des aufgenommenen Kabels ein Klemmelement eingefügt, das mittels einer Druckschraube axial in der Kabelaufnahme verschiebbar ist. Das Klemmelement ist ein im wesentlichen ringförmig ausgebildetes Teil, das über mehrere axial ausgerichtete Finger verfügt, die an einem Ende verbunden, die Ringstruktur des Klemmelementes bilden. Die Finger weisen zwei verschiedene Formen auf. Eine erste Form von Fingern ist als Führungsfinger ausgebildet und eine zweite Form von Fingern ist als Klemmfinger ausgebildet. Die Führungsfinger und Klemmfinger sind abwechselnd in der Ringstruktur angeordnet.A connector housing is provided with a cylindrical cable receptacle for receiving an electrical cable. In the cable receiving a clamping element is inserted for fixing the received cable, which is axially displaceable by means of a pressure screw in the cable receptacle. The clamping element is a substantially annular formed part which has a plurality of axially aligned fingers connected at one end, forming the ring structure of the clamping element. The fingers have two different shapes. A first form of finger is designed as a guide finger and a second form of finger is designed as a clamping finger. The guide fingers and clamping fingers are alternately arranged in the ring structure.

Die Klemmfinger sind in radialer Richtung mit einer Verdickung versehen. Die Verdickung flacht im vorderen, zuerst in die Kabelaufnahme einzubringenden Teil ab, wodurch an den Klemmfingern ein keilförmiges Ende gebildet wird. Im hinteren Bereich sind die Klemmfinger über einen dünnen, flexiblen Steg in der Ringstruktur angebracht.The clamping fingers are provided in the radial direction with a thickening. The thickening flattens in the front, first to be introduced into the cable holder Part off, whereby at the clamping fingers a wedge-shaped end is formed. In the rear area, the clamping fingers are attached via a thin, flexible web in the ring structure.

Die Führungsfinger des Klemmelementes sind an ihrer außen liegenden Fläche glatt ausgeführt und starr an der Ringstruktur angebracht.The guide fingers of the clamping element are made smooth on their outer surface and rigidly attached to the ring structure.

Die Kabelaufnahme ist im wesentlichen als zylindrische Anformung am Steckverbindergehäuse angeformt. Axial beabstandet vom Einführende sind Keile in der Kabelaufnahme angeformt, die sich zunehmend nach innen erstrecken. Vom Einführende bis zu den Keilen ist zudem ein Gewinde in die Kabelaufnahme eingeformt, das zur Aufnahme der Druckschraube geeignet ist.The cable receptacle is formed substantially as a cylindrical Anformung on the connector housing. Axially spaced from the insertion end wedges are formed in the cable receptacle, which increasingly extend inwards. From the insertion end to the wedges, a thread is also formed in the cable holder, which is suitable for receiving the pressure screw.

Das Gewinde ist in den Bereichen, in denen die Keile angeformt sind mit Längsausnehmungen versehen. In den Längsausnehmungen gleiten beim Zusammenfügen des Klemmelementes mit der Kabelaufnahme die verdickten Klemmfinger des Klemmelementes.The thread is provided in the areas where the wedges are formed with longitudinal recesses. In the longitudinal recesses slide during assembly of the clamping element with the cable receiving the thickened clamping fingers of the clamping element.

Die Druckschraube ist ein im wesentlichen als Hohlzylinder geformter Körper. Im vorderen, dem Steckverbinder zugewandten Bereich verfügt sie über ein zylindrisches Gewinde, das komplementär zu dem Gewinde der Kabelaufnahme ist. Im hinteren, dem Steckverbinder abgewandten Bereich verfügt die Druckschraube über einen Griffbereich der zweckmäßig mit An- oder Ausformungen zur besseren Betätigung der Druckschraube versehen ist. Durch den inneren, hohlen Bereich der Druckschraube ist das anzuschließende Kabel zu führen.The pressure screw is a substantially shaped as a hollow cylinder body. In the front, the connector facing area has a cylindrical thread that is complementary to the thread of the cable receptacle. In the rear, facing away from the connector area, the pressure screw has a grip area which is conveniently provided with projections or formations for better operation of the pressure screw. Through the inner, hollow area of the pressure screw, the cable to be connected is to lead.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist der innere, hohle Bereich der Druckschraube mit einer Dichtung versehen, um das Eindringen von Wasser und Schmutz zu verhindern.In an advantageous development of the inner hollow portion of the pressure screw is provided with a seal to prevent the ingress of water and dirt.

Beim Zusammenfügen des Klemmelementes mit der Druckschraube in die Kabelaufnahme werden die Klemmfinger des Klemmelementes in den Längsausnehmungen des Gewindes axial geführt, wodurch bereits ein anfängliches Verdrehen des Klemmelementes verhindert wird. Im Bereich der Keile werden die Führungsfinger zwischen den Keilen geführt, sodass ein Verdrehen des Klemmelementes wirksam verhindert wird.When assembling the clamping element with the pressure screw in the cable receiving the clamping fingers of the clamping element are axially guided in the longitudinal recesses of the thread, whereby already an initial rotation of the clamping element is prevented. In the area of the wedges, the guide fingers are guided between the wedges, so that twisting of the clamping element is effectively prevented.

Treffen beim Zusammenfügen die Klemmfinger auf die angeformten Keile, wirken die keilförmigen Enden der Klemmfinger mit den Keilen zusammen, wodurch der Durchmesser zwischen den Klemmfingern sich zunehmend verringert. Ein innerhalb des Klemmelementes geführtes, elektrisches Kabel wird so zwischen den Klemmfingern fixiert, ohne dass es vom Klemmelement verdreht wird.When joining the clamping fingers meet the molded wedges, the wedge-shaped ends of the clamping fingers cooperate with the wedges, whereby the diameter between the clamping fingers is increasingly reduced. A guided inside the clamping element, electrical cable is thus fixed between the clamping fingers, without being twisted by the clamping element.

In einer bevorzugten Ausbildungsform verfügt das Klemmelement an der, der Druckschraube zugewandten Seite über Rastmittel. Die Rastmittel, die vorzugsweise rückseitig an den Führungsarmen angebracht sind, sind in einer, der Druckschraube frontseitig eingeformten, umlaufenden Rastnut einrastbar. Das Klemmelement ist somit zur Montage mit der Druckschraube einstückig verbunden und dennoch axial verdrehbar.In a preferred embodiment, the clamping element has on the side facing the pressure screw on locking means. The latching means, which are preferably attached to the back of the guide arms, in one, the pressure screw front molded, circumferential latching groove can be latched. The clamping element is thus integrally connected for mounting with the pressure screw and yet axially rotatable.

In der Fig.1 ist ein Steckverbindergehäuse 1 mit einer Kabelklemmung in einer räumlichen Darstellung gezeigt. Im hier links abgebildeten Teil des Steckverbindergehäuses 1 ist ein nicht weiter gezeigter Steckbereich vorgesehen, der zur Aufnahme von Kontaktelementen dient. Daran schließt sich eine Kabelaufnahme 2 an, mit einem vor dessen Einführende 3 positioniertem Klemmelement 10 und einer Druckschraube 20.In the Fig.1 is a connector housing 1 with a cable clamp shown in a three-dimensional view. In the part of the connector housing 1 shown here on the left, a plug-in area (not shown further) is provided which serves to receive contact elements. This is followed by a cable receptacle 2, with a positioned before the insertion end 3 clamping element 10 and a pressure screw 20th

Die als Hohlzylinder geformte Druckschraube 20 weist im Wesentlichen ein zylindrisches Gewinde 22 und einen Griffbereich 23 auf. Vor dem Gewinde 22 befindet sich eine, zur Anrastung des Klemmelementes 10 vorgesehene Rastnut 21.The pressure screw 20 formed as a hollow cylinder essentially has a cylindrical thread 22 and a grip region 23. Before the thread 22 is a, provided for locking the clamping element 10 locking groove 21st

Ein anzuschließendes elektrisches Kabel 8 wird durch die Druckschraube 20 und das Klemmelement 10 in das Steckverbindergehäuse 1 geführt.An electrical cable 8 to be connected is guided by the pressure screw 20 and the clamping element 10 into the connector housing 1.

Das in Fig. 2 dargestellte Klemmelement 10 besteht aus hier fünf Führungsfingern 12 und fünf Klemmfingern 13 die axial angeordnet, an ihrem, dem Steckverbindergehäuse 1 abgewandten Ende zu einer Ringstruktur 11 zusammengefasst sind. Zu erkennen ist, dass die Klemmfinger 13 radial dicker als die Führungsfinger 12 ausgebildet sind, und ein keilförmiges Ende 14 aufweisen. Beim Zusammenfügen des Klemmelementes 10 mit der Kabelaufnahme 2 werden die verdickten Klemmfinger 13 in Längsausnehmungen 6 in der Kabelaufnahme 2 geführt, so dass ein Verdrehen des Klemmelementes 10 verhindert wird.This in Fig. 2 shown clamping element 10 consists of five guide fingers 12 and five clamping fingers 13 which are arranged axially, at their, the connector housing 1 opposite end to a ring structure 11 are summarized. It can be seen that the clamping fingers 13 are formed radially thicker than the guide fingers 12, and have a wedge-shaped end 14. When assembling the clamping element 10 with the cable holder 2, the thickened clamping fingers 13 are guided in longitudinal recesses 6 in the cable holder 2, so that a rotation of the clamping element 10 is prevented.

Die Ringstruktur 11 weist zudem Rastmittel 16 auf, die zur Anrastung des Klemmelementes 10 an der Druckschraube 20 dienen. Eine hierfür an der Druckschraube 20 vorgesehene Rastnut 21 gewährleistet ein gegeneinander Verdrehen von Klemmelement 10 und Druckschraube 20.The ring structure 11 also has latching means 16 which serve to latch the clamping element 10 to the pressure screw 20. A provided for this purpose on the pressure screw 20 locking groove 21 ensures against each rotation of the clamping element 10 and pressure screw 20th

In Fig. 3 ist die Kabelaufnahme 2 aus Richtung ihres Einführendes 3 gezeigt. In axialer Beabstandung vom Einführende 3 sind hier fünf Keile 4 angeformt, die sich zunehmend radial nach innen erstrecken. Anzahl und Abstand der Keile 4 zueinander, sind entsprechend der Zahl und des Abstandes der Klemmfinger 13 des Klemmelementes 10 ausgelegt.In Fig. 3 the cable receptacle 2 is shown from the direction of its insertion end 3. In axial spacing from the insertion end 3 five wedges 4 are formed here, which increasingly extend radially inwardly. Number and distance of Wedges 4 to each other, are designed according to the number and the distance of the clamping fingers 13 of the clamping element 10.

Vom Einführende 3 bis zu den Keilen 4 ist in die Kabelaufnahme 2 ein Gewinde 5 eingeformt, in welches die Druckschraube 20 einschraubbar ist. Im Bereich der Keile 4 sind Längsausnehmungen 6 im Gewinde 5 vorgesehen, die sich vom Einführende 3 bis zu den Keilen 4 erstrecken.From the insertion end 3 to the wedges 4, a thread 5 is formed in the cable receptacle 2, in which the pressure screw 20 can be screwed. In the region of the wedges 4 longitudinal recesses 6 are provided in the thread 5, which extend from the insertion end 3 to the wedges 4.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine im Querschnitt dargestellte Kabelklemmung, jedoch ohne elektrisches Kabel.
Die Druckschraube 20 ist nur soweit in die Kabelaufnahme 2 eingeschraubt, dass die keilförmigen Enden 14 der Klemmfinger 13 gerade auf die Keile 4 in der Kabelaufnahme 2 treffen. Zudem ist im mittleren Bereich der Schnittdarstellung zu erkennen, wie die Führungsfinger 12 zwischen den Keilen 4 geführt werden. Fig. 4 shows a Kabelklemmung shown in cross-section, but without electrical cable.
The pressure screw 20 is only screwed into the cable receptacle 2 so far that the wedge-shaped ends 14 of the clamping fingers 13 just meet the wedges 4 in the cable receptacle 2. In addition, it can be seen in the middle region of the sectional view how the guide fingers 12 are guided between the wedges 4.

In Fig. 5 ist eine Kabelklemmung mit einem elektrischen Kabel 8 und einer teilweise eingeschraubten Druckschraube 20 dargestellt.
Die durch die Druckschraube 20 erzeugte axial-radiale Verschiebung des Klemmelementes 10 in die Kabelaufnahme 2, führt zu einem Zusammenwirken der keilförmigen Enden 14 der Klemmfinger 13 mit den Keilen 4. Der daraus sich verjüngende Durchmesser zwischen den Klemmfingern 13 führt dann zu einer Fixierung des durch das Klemmelement 10 hindurchgeführten elektrischen Kabels 8.In Fig. 5 a Kabelklemmung with an electric cable 8 and a partially screwed pressure screw 20 is shown.
The generated by the pressure screw 20 axial-radial displacement of the clamping element 10 in the cable receptacle 2, leads to an interaction of the wedge-shaped ends 14 of the clamping fingers 13 with the wedges 4. The resulting tapered diameter between the clamping fingers 13 then leads to a fixation of the clamping element 10 passed through electrical cable. 8
