Definitions

  • the invention relates to a longitudinally watertight interface between a first room, in which harsh environmental conditions prevail, in particular with moisture, water or the like, and a second, largely dry room, according to the features of the respective preamble of the independent claims.
  • the invention relates to a longitudinally watertight interface between an oil pan and an engine compartment of a vehicle, in particular a passenger car.
  • connector housing to inject from a plastic, wherein the contact partners and / or the at least one stamped grid are encapsulated by the plastic.
  • the end of the electrical line or the plurality of electrical lines with the plastic of the connector housing is encapsulated in order to achieve longitudinal water-tightness in this way.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved longitudinally watertight interface and a method for the production thereof.
  • the housing is formed by a plastic with a high shrinkage rate. This has the advantage that the housing after its production (and possibly even during its production) very tight in the area where it comes to rest on the insulating jacket of the line, there to make an intimate connection, so the required longitudinal water tightness is achieved.
  • the housing is advantageously an injection molded part.
  • This makes it possible to produce the housing reproducibly in large numbers, quickly, easily, inexpensively and with the required accuracy, especially in mass production.
  • the elements of the interface which are to be surrounded by the housing, inserted into a correspondingly shaped tool shape (usually multi-part) and introduced the plastic with high shrinkage rate in the tool, in particular injected under pressure.
  • a correspondingly shaped tool shape usually multi-part
  • the plastic with high shrinkage rate in the tool, in particular injected under pressure.
  • those areas which are to be connected to the plastic of high shrinkage rate also come into contact with this injected plastic.
  • Areas that are not to be surrounded by this plastic, such as the contact partners are so inside the tool or outside of the tool to arrange that prevents them come into contact with the injected plastic.
  • a material pairing is used in which the plastic of the insulating jacket of the conduit is an ETFE plastic (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene) and the plastic of the housing is a PBT plastic (polybutylene terephthalate).
  • ETFE plastic ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene
  • PBT plastic polybutylene terephthalate
  • the contact partner is disposed at the end of the electrical conductor, an embossment.
  • the end of the electrical conductor is connected to the contact partner at least electrically, but preferably mechanically and electrically.
  • the electrical connection is made for example by soldering, welding, gluing or the like.
  • a mechanical fixing takes place, for example, by crimping, in which the end of the electrical conductor is fixed by crimper blades of a crimp connection.
  • the electrical conductor in the contacting zone may also be considered here to solder the electrical conductor in the contacting zone to the contact partner after or prior to crimping or the like.
  • This prepared as described above contacting region is provided with an embossment, which is beispielswelse as a flat embossing, a stamping, in the form of grooves and / or webs or the like.
  • This region of the embossment is also surrounded by the plastic of high shrinkage rate, which forms the housing, so that due to this shaping, the available surface in the contacting region (Kontaktmaschineazone) is increased in order to improve the longitudinal water tightness due to this enlarged surface.
  • the housing is formed by a plastic with a high shrinkage rate in an injection molding process.
  • the injection molding process has the advantage that the housing can be produced reproducibly in a high-volume series production in a very simple, fast, cost-effective manner and with the required accuracy.
  • a variety of geometries of the housing is possible because depending on the geometry of the housing only other tools (forms) must be installed in an injection molding machine.
  • the use of the plastic with a high shrinkage rate here also has the advantage that achieved during the injection molding process and / or after the production of the finished housing the desired intimate connection with the insulating sheath made of plastic to achieve the desired longitudinal water tightness.
  • a particularly advantageous application of the longitudinally watertight interface according to the invention is seen in the application in vehicles. It is of particular advantage to see the application of the longitudinally watertight interface with the housing, which is formed by a plastic with high shrinkage rate, between an oil pan and an engine compartment of a vehicle.
  • the housing which is formed by a plastic with high shrinkage rate, between an oil pan and an engine compartment of a vehicle.
  • high temperatures oil temperature in operation of the vehicle about 90 degrees Celsius or possibly even higher
  • harsh environmental conditions such as moisture, debris and salt water in the engine compartment and above all, a high temperature difference between the oil pan and the engine compartment , in front.
  • the longitudinal watertight interface is formed by a connector that can be mated with a corresponding mating connector.
  • the connector (and also the mating connector) have contact partners, which are arranged at the end of a line. According to the requirements of the transmission of signals, voltages or the like with the connector in appropriate number either a line or there are a corresponding number of lines available.
  • the lines have an electrically conductive inner conductor, which is provided with external influences and protection against short circuits with an icing jacket.
  • a contact partner such as a plug, a socket or the like, is connected in a suitable manner.
  • the contact partner can also be configured alternatively in the form of a stamped grid, it being conceivable that electrical or electronic components are connected to one another with two or more stamped bars.
  • the connector in turn has a housing, wherein in the housing contact chambers for the contact partners or the at least one stamped grid is arranged.
  • Dae connector housing is formed by its outer contours such that it can be brought together on the one hand with the mating connector and on the other hand, it may be designed and adapted to be mounted in or on a component of the vehicle.
  • the connector has an integrated latch in the housing of the oil pan (Bedplate).
  • the tightness is achieved by molding the contact partner or the at least one stamped grid having an embossed area with a plastic having a high shrinkage rate.
  • a plastic having a high shrinkage rate it is possible to achieve a significantly improved longitudinal water-tightness in comparison to plastics with a low shrinkage rate, with the high-shrinkage plastic proposed here also advantageously having additional requirements for temperature, for the resistance to media and the like
  • a temperature range of minus 40 degrees Celsius to plus 130 degrees Celsius (or even beyond) for the plastic with a high shrinkage rate be represented.
  • the media resistance refers in particular to the resistance to aggressive media such as fuel, oil, oil mist, salt water, detergents and the like.
  • the plastic with high shrinkage rate should also satisfy a high vibration stress.
  • the outer jacket of the at least one electrical line consists of ETFE material (ethylene-tetrafluorethylene), the high-shrinkage plastic being a PBT plastic (polybutylene terephthalate).
  • ETFE material ethylene-tetrafluorethylene
  • PBT plastic polybutylene terephthalate
