Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder zur Anbindung an ein Koaxialkabel, welches einen Innenleiter, einen geflochtenen Außenleiter sowie eine Isolierung zwischen dem Innenleiter und dem Außenleiter aufweist, sowie auch einen Schutzmantel, der die vorgenannten Komponenten umgibt, wobei an einem freien Endabschnitt des Koaxialkabels ein erstes rohrförmiges Bauteil zwischen die Isolierung und den Außenleiter des Koaxialkabels eingefügt ist und ein zweites rohrförmiges Bauteil mit dem ersten rohrförmigen Bauteil unter Einschluss des Außenleiters formschlüssig verbunden ist.The invention relates to a connector for connection to a coaxial cable having an inner conductor, a braided outer conductor and an insulation between the inner conductor and the outer conductor, as well as a protective sheath surrounding the aforementioned components, wherein at a free end portion of the coaxial cable, a first tubular Component between the insulation and the outer conductor of the coaxial cable is inserted and a second tubular member is positively connected to the first tubular member, including the outer conductor.

Ein derartiger Steckverbinder ist beispielsweise aus der US-Patentschrift US 4,131,332 bekannt. Bei diesem Steckverbinder ist ein erstes rohrförmiges Bauteil zwischen die Isolierung und den Außenleiter des Koaxialkabels eingefügt und ein zweites rohrförmiges Bauteil mit dem ersten rohrförmigen Bauteil unter Einschluss des Außenleiters formschlüssig verbunden. Diese Verbindung ist als eine Crimpverbindung vorgesehen, so dass hier zumindest ein Crimpvorgang als Montageschritt erforderlich ist.Such a connector is for example from the U.S. Patent US 4,131,332 known. In this connector, a first tubular member between the insulation and the outer conductor of the coaxial cable is inserted and a second tubular member with the first tubular member including the outer conductor positively connected. This connection is provided as a crimped connection, so that at least one crimping operation is required here as an assembly step.

Die Patentschrift US 4,813,887 zeigt einen Steckverbinder gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruche 1, an den ein doppelt abgeschirmtes Koaxialkabel angebunden ist. Die äußere Abschirmung ist zwischen zwei rohrförmigen Bauteilen eingeschlossen, wobei das äußere rohrförmige Bauteil eine zum Endabschnitt des Koaxialkabels geöffnete Hülse ausbildet. Eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den beiden rohrförmigen Bauteil ist nicht erkennbar.The Patent US 4,813,887 shows a connector according to the preamble of claims 1, to which a double-shielded coaxial cable is connected. The outer shield is sandwiched between two tubular members, the outer tubular member forming a sleeve open to the end portion of the coaxial cable. A positive connection between the two tubular member is not visible.

Aus der DE 697 01 065 T2 ist eine Schirmschichtverbindungsanordnung zur elektrischen Anbindung der Schirmschicht eines geschirmten Kabels bekannt, bei der ein inneres rohrförmiges Bauteil unter die freigelegte Schirmschicht geführt ist und ein äußeres rohrförmiges Bauteil an die Außenseite der Schirmschicht angefügt ist, wobei das äußere und das innere rohrförmige Bauteil über Sperr- oder Verriegelungsmittel miteinander verbindbar sind und die Schirmschicht zwischen sich befestigen.From the DE 697 01 065 T2 For example, a shield layer connection arrangement for electrically connecting the shielding layer of a shielded cable is known in which an inner tubular component is guided under the exposed shielding layer and an outer tubular component is attached to the outer side of the shielded layer Umbrella layer is added, wherein the outer and the inner tubular member via locking or locking means are connected to each other and fasten the shield layer between them.

Die Ausgestaltung der beschriebenen zu verbindenden rohrförmigen Bauteile ist dabei relativ aufwendig. Des weiteren sind diesem Dokument kaum Hinweise zu entnehmen, wie die beschriebene Schirmschichtverbindungsanordnung zur Herstellung eines vorteilhaft ausgestalteten Steckverbinders genutzt werden könnte.The configuration of the described tubular components to be joined is relatively expensive. Furthermore, there are hardly any references to this document as to how the shielding layer connection arrangement described could be used to produce an advantageously configured connector.

Es stellte sich die Aufgabe, einen Steckverbinder zu schaffen, der einfach und kostengünstig mit einem Koaxialkabel verbindbar ist und der auf einfache Weise eine wirksame Abschirmung eines Steckverbinderkontakts ermöglicht.It has set itself the task of creating a connector that can be easily and inexpensively connected to a coaxial cable and allows a simple way effective shielding of a connector contact.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das zweite rohrförmige Bauteil eine zum Endabschnitt des Koaxialkabels geöffnete Hülse ausbildet und dass das erste rohrförmige Bauteil eine entlang seines Umfangs umlaufende Nut aufweist, die mit einer Sicke des zweiten rohrförmigen Bauteil verrastet.This object is achieved in that the second tubular member forms a sleeve open to the end portion of the coaxial cable and that the first tubular member has a circumferential along its circumference groove which is locked with a bead of the second tubular member.

Vorteilhaft ist es, dass das erste rohrförmige Bauteil eine entlang des Umfangs eingebrachte Nut besitzt und das zweite rohrförmige Bauteil eine nach innen hervorstehende, vorzugsweise ebenfalls umlaufende Sicke aufweist. Beim Zusammenfügen des ersten und des zweiten rohrförmigen Bauteils rastet die Sicke in die Nut ein, wodurch die beiden rohrförmigen Bauteile fest mit einander verbunden sind. Die so hergestellte Rastverbindung ist konstruktiv besonders einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar.It is advantageous that the first tubular component has a groove introduced along the circumference and the second tubular component has an inwardly projecting, preferably also circumferential bead. When joining the first and the second tubular member, the bead engages in the groove, whereby the two tubular components are firmly connected to each other. The latching connection thus produced is structurally particularly simple and inexpensive to produce.

Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen werden, erst nach dem Zusammenfügen der beiden rohrförmigen Bauteile eine Sicke in den Mantel des zweiten rohrförmigen Bauteils einzubringen, welche in die Nut des ersten rohrförmigen Bauteils eingreift und dadurch die beiden rohrförmigen Bauteile formschlüssig miteinander verbindet.Alternatively, it can also be provided to introduce a bead in the jacket of the second tubular component only after the joining of the two tubular components, which in the groove of the first tubular Engages component and thereby positively connecting the two tubular components together.

Nach dem Zusammenfügen des ersten und des zweiten rohrförmigen Bauteils ist der Außenleiter fest zwischen den beiden rohrförmigen Bauteilen eingespannt, so dass eine gute elektrische Verbindung zu beiden rohrförmigen Bauteilen hergestellt ist.After joining the first and the second tubular component of the outer conductor is firmly clamped between the two tubular components, so that a good electrical connection to both tubular components is made.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das erste rohrförmige Bauteil einen in Längsrichtung eingebrachten Schlitz aufweist. Der Schlitz ermöglicht es dem ersten rohrförmigen Bauteil beim Einsetzen in das zweite rohrförmige Bauteil nach innen zu federn, wodurch das Einsetzen erleichtert wird und das erste rohrförmige Bauteil, weil unter Federspannung stehend, besonders sicher innerhalb des zweiten rohrförmigen Bauteil gehalten wird.It is particularly advantageous if the first tubular component has a slot introduced in the longitudinal direction. The slit allows the first tubular member to resiliently engage upon insertion into the second tubular member, thereby facilitating insertion, and holding the first tubular member particularly securely within the second tubular member while under spring tension.

Das federnde Einrasten ermöglicht zugleich einen Toleranzausgleich bezüglich der Maße der beiden rohrförmigen Bauteile. Außerdem ermöglicht es, das erste rohrförmige Bauteil in radialer Richtung ein Stück weit zusammenzupressen, wodurch der isolierte Innenleiter des Koaxialkabels fest eingespannt ist und das Koaxialkabel sicher mit den rohrförmigen Bauteilen verbunden ist. Auf eine zusätzliche mechanische Zugentlastung des Koaxialkabels kann dadurch verzichtet werden.The springy engagement allows at the same time a tolerance compensation with respect to the dimensions of the two tubular components. In addition, it allows the first tubular member in the radial direction to compress a piece, whereby the isolated inner conductor of the coaxial cable is firmly clamped and the coaxial cable is securely connected to the tubular components. On an additional mechanical strain relief of the coaxial cable can be omitted.

Die Hülse erstreckt sich dabei vorzugsweise bis über den Bereich, an dem der Steckverbinderkontakt mit dem Innenleiter verbunden ist. Die Hülse kann auch derart ausgebildet sein, dass sie die gesamte Ausdehnung des Steckverbinderkontakts überdeckt. Da die Hülse elektrisch mit dem Außenleiter des Koaxialkabels verbunden ist und daher auf dem Schirmpotential liegt, ist so der Steckverbinderkontakt von allen Seiten, bis auf die freibleibende Seite zum Einstecken des Gegensteckers, optimal abgeschirmt.The sleeve preferably extends beyond the region at which the connector contact is connected to the inner conductor. The sleeve can also be designed such that it covers the entire extent of the connector contact. Since the sleeve is electrically connected to the outer conductor of the coaxial cable and therefore lies on the screen potential, so the connector contact is optimally shielded from all sides, except for the remaining free side for insertion of the mating connector.

Statt einer sich über den gesamten Steckverbinderkontakt erstreckenden Hülse kann auch ein an die Form der Hülse angepasstes Schirmblech vorgesehen sein, welches passgenau an die Hülse angefügt werden kann und den Steckhülsenkontakt umgibt und dadurch vor elektromagnetischer Ein- und Abstrahlung schützt.Instead of extending over the entire connector contact sleeve also adapted to the shape of the sleeve shield plate may be provided, which can be accurately fitted to the sleeve and surrounds the socket contact and thereby protects against electromagnetic input and radiation.

In beiden Fällen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn ein isolierender Kammereinsatz den Steckverbinderkontakt umgibt und den Steckverbinderkontakt elektrisch gegen die Hülse elektrisch isoliert. Der Kammereinsatz kann vorzugsweise als ein ebenfalls hülsenförmiger Kunststoffkörper ausgebildet sein, der passgenau in die Hülse oder das Schirmblech einschiebbar ist.In both cases, it is advantageous if an insulating chamber insert surrounds the connector contact and electrically isolates the connector contact against the sleeve. The chamber insert may preferably be formed as a likewise sleeve-shaped plastic body which is precisely inserted into the sleeve or the shield plate can be inserted.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung.Further advantageous embodiments and modifications of the invention will become apparent from the following description of two embodiments of the invention with reference to the drawing.

Die Figuren 1 bis 6 stellen verschiedene Phasen bei der Montage eines erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinders dar. Die Figur 7 zeigt eine Ausführungsvariante des Steckverbinders.The FIGS. 1 to 6 represent different phases in the assembly of a connector according to the invention. The FIG. 7 shows an alternative embodiment of the connector.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Steckverbinder in einer teilweise geschnittenen Ansicht. Ein Koaxialkabel 1 wird durch ein erstes rohrförmiges Bauteil 6 gehalten, welches in ein zweites rohrförmiges Bauteil 7 eingesetzt und mit diesem verrastet ist. Das zweite rohrförmige Bauteil 7 bildet eine sich in Richtung des freien Endabschnitts des Koaxialkabels 1 öffnende Hülse 8 aus, welche die Verbindungsstelle des Innenleiters 2 des Koaxialkabels 1 mit einem Steckverbinderkontakt 9 umgibt. Der Steckverbinderkontakt 9 ist hier rein beispielhaft als eine Steckhülse dargestellt, die einen nicht dargestellten Flachsteckkontakt aus verschiedenen Steckrichtungen aufnehmen kann. Der Steckverbinderkontakt 9 ist durch eine Crimpverbindung 15 mit dem Innenleiter 2 des Koaxialkabels 1 verbunden.The FIG. 1 shows a connector in a partially sectioned view. A coaxial cable 1 is held by a first tubular member 6, which is inserted into a second tubular member 7 and locked with this. The second tubular component 7 forms a sleeve 8 which opens in the direction of the free end section of the coaxial cable 1 and surrounds the connection point of the inner conductor 2 of the coaxial cable 1 with a connector contact 9. The connector contact 9 is shown here purely by way of example as a socket, which can accommodate a flat plug contact, not shown, from different directions of plug. The connector contact 9 is connected by a crimp connection 15 to the inner conductor 2 of the coaxial cable 1.

In der Figur 2 ist der Steckverbinder in einem Längsschnitt dargestellt. Deutlich erkennbar ist hier der Aufbau des Koaxialkabels 1. Da der Steckverbinder vorzugsweise als Hochlaststeckverbinder verwendet wird, der hohe Ströme und/oder Spannungen führen kann, weist das Koaxialkabel einen massiven Innenleiter 2 mit einem relativ großen Querschnitt auf. Der Innenleiter 2 ist, bis auf den Abschnitt, an dem er eine Crimpverbindung 15 zu dem hier nicht dargestellten Steckverbinderkontakt herstellt, von einer Isolierung 4 umgeben. Zwischen der Isolierung 4 und einem ebenfalls isolierenden äußeren Schutzmantel 5 ist ein Außenleiter 3 angeordnet, der als eine geflochtene Metalldrahtschirmung ausgeführt ist. Der Schutzmantel 5 reicht bis an die miteinander verbundenen rohrförmigen Bauteile (6, 7) heran, wobei der Außenleiter 3 weitergeführt und zwischen den beiden rohrförmigen Bauteilen (6, 7) eingespannt ist.In the FIG. 2 the connector is shown in a longitudinal section. Clearly recognizable here is the structure of the coaxial cable 1. Since the connector is preferably used as a high-load connector, which can cause high currents and / or voltages, the coaxial cable has a solid inner conductor 2 with a relatively large cross-section. The inner conductor 2 is, except for the section where it produces a crimp connection 15 to the connector contact, not shown here, surrounded by an insulation 4. Between the insulation 4 and a likewise insulating outer protective jacket 5, an outer conductor 3 is arranged, which is designed as a braided Metalldrahtschirmung. The protective jacket 5 extends to the interconnected tubular components (6, 7) zoom, wherein the outer conductor 3 is continued and between the two tubular components (6, 7) is clamped.

Wie die Figur 2 des weiteren verdeutlicht, weist das erste rohrförmige Bauteil 6 eine entlang seines Umfangs umlaufend eingebrachte Nut 11 auf, in die eine, vorzugsweise ebenfalls umlaufend ausgeführte Sicke 10 des zweiten rohrförmigen Bauteils 7 rastend eingreift. Das Einrasten wird dadurch unterstützt, dass, wie aus der Figur 1 ersichtlich, das erste rohrförmige Bauteil 6 einen in Längsrichtung eingebrachten Schlitz 12 aufweist, so dass das erste rohrförmige Bauteil 6 nach innen einfedern kann. Da sich dabei der Innendurchmesser des ersten rohrförmigen Bauteils 6 verkleinert, schließt sich dieses fest um die Isolierung 4 des Koaxialkabels 1. Hierdurch ist das Koaxialkabel 1 fest mit den beiden rohrförmigen Bauteilen (6, 7) verbunden.As the FIG. 2 further clarified, the first tubular member 6 has a circumferential along its circumference introduced groove 11 into which a, preferably also circumferentially running bead 10 of the second tubular member 7 engages latching. The snapping is supported by the fact that, as from the FIG. 1 can be seen, the first tubular member 6 has a longitudinally inserted slot 12 so that the first tubular member 6 can deflect inwardly. As this reduces the inner diameter of the first tubular member 6, this closes tightly around the insulation 4 of the coaxial cable 1. As a result, the coaxial cable 1 is fixedly connected to the two tubular components (6, 7).

Die Montageschritte zum Verbinden der Steckverbinderteile mit dem Koaxialkabel werden durch die Figuren 3 und 4 verdeutlicht. Zunächst wird die Isolierung 4 und der Schutzmantel 5 an einem Endabschnitt des Koaxialkabels 1 im erforderlichen Umfang entfernt. Auf das derart vorkonfektionierte Koaxialkabel 1 wird dann das zweite rohrförmige Bauteil 7 aufgeschoben. Danach wird das Metallgeflecht des Außenleiters 3 des Koaxialkabels 1 radial aufgeweitet und das erste rohrförmige Bauteil 6 unter das Metallgeflecht geschoben. Nach Herstellung der Crimpverbindung 15 zwischen dem Steckverbinderkontakt 9 und dem Innenleiter 2 ist der in der Figur 4 dargestellte Montagezustand erreicht.The mounting steps for connecting the connector parts with the coaxial cable are through FIGS. 3 and 4 clarified. First, the insulation 4 and the protective jacket 5 is removed at an end portion of the coaxial cable 1 to the extent required. On the thus prefabricated coaxial cable 1, the second tubular member 7 is then pushed. Thereafter, the metal mesh of the outer conductor 3 of the coaxial cable 1 is radially expanded and pushed the first tubular member 6 under the metal mesh. After preparation of the crimp connection 15 between the connector contact 9 and the inner conductor 2 is in the FIG. 4 achieved assembled state.

Das zweite rohrförmige Bauteil 7 wird über das erste rohrförmige Bauteil 6 geschoben, wobei die beiden rohrförmigen Bauteile (6, 7) miteinander verrasten und zugleich die elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem zweiten rohrförmigen Bauteil 7 und dem Metallgeflecht des Außenleiters 3 herstellen. Damit ist bereits eine mechanisch stabile Anbindung des Koaxialkabels 1 sowie eine elektrische Abschirmung bis zum Verbindungsbereich von dem Steckverbinderkontakt 9 und dem Innenleiter 2 erreicht.The second tubular component 7 is pushed over the first tubular member 6, wherein the two tubular components (6, 7) lock together and at the same time establish the electrical connection between the second tubular member 7 and the metal mesh of the outer conductor 3. In order for a mechanically stable connection of the coaxial cable 1 and an electrical shield to the connection area of the connector contact 9 and the inner conductor 2 is already reached.

Um eine nahezu vollständige Abschirmung des Steckverbinderkontakts 9 zu schaffen, kann, wie die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen, in die durch das zweite rohrförmige Bauteil 7 gebildete Hülse 8 ein Schirmblech 13 eingesetzt werden, welches den Steckverbinderkontakt 9, unter Freilassung nur einer Einstecköffnung zum Anfügen eines Gegensteckkontaktes, umgibt und gegen elektromagnetische Ein- und Abstrahlung abschirmt.In order to provide an almost complete shielding of the connector contact 9, like the FIGS. 5 and 6 show, in the sleeve 8 formed by the second tubular member 7, a shield plate 13 are used, which surrounds the connector contact 9, leaving only an insertion for attaching a mating plug contact, and shields against electromagnetic input and radiation.

Das Schirmblech 13 weist angeformte federnde Kontaktlamellen 16 auf, die eine besonders gute elektrische und mechanische Verbindung zur Hülse 8 herstellen. Vorteilhaft ist es, einen hier nicht dargestellten isolierenden Kammereinsatz vorzusehen, der eine dem Schirmblech 13 ähnliche Form aufweist, und der in den Hohlraum innerhalb des Schirmbleche 13 eingesetzt werden kann und dort den Steckverbinderkontakt 9 elektrisch gegen das Schirmblech 13 isoliert.The shield plate 13 has molded resilient contact blades 16, which produce a particularly good electrical and mechanical connection to the sleeve 8. It is advantageous to provide an insulating chamber insert, not shown here, which has a shape similar to the shroud 13, and which can be inserted into the cavity within the shroud 13 and there electrically isolates the connector contact 9 against the shroud 13.

Die Figur 6 zeigt das in die Hülse 8 eingesteckte Schirmblech 13. Der vordere Abschnitt des Schirmblechs 13 weist auf seiner Unterseite eine in den Figuren nicht erkennbare Ausnehmung auf, durch die hindurch ein nicht dargestellter Flachstecker als Gegensteckkontakt mit dem Steckverbinderkontakt 9 innerhalb des Schirmblechs 13 verbunden werden kann.The FIG. 6 shows the inserted into the sleeve 8 shield plate 13. The front portion of the shield plate 13 has on its underside a not visible in the figures recess through which a flat connector, not shown, can be connected as mating plug contact with the connector contact 9 within the shield plate 13.

Die Figur 7 zeigt eine alternative Ausführungsform des Steckverbinders, bei dem die Steckrichtung des anfügbaren Gegensteckverbinders in axialer Richtung der Hülse 8 vorgesehen ist. Aufgrund der nicht abgewinkelten Steckrichtung kann die Abschirmung des Steckverbinderkontakt 9 hier allein durch die verlängerte Hülse 8 des zweiten rohrförmigen Bauteils 7 erfolgen, so dass ein zusätzliches Schirmblech hier nicht erforderlich ist. Innerhalb der Hülse 8 ist ein isolierender Kammereinsatz 14 erkennbar, der den Steckverbinderkontakt elektrisch gegen die abschirmende Hülse 8 isoliert.The FIG. 7 shows an alternative embodiment of the connector, in which the plugging direction of the attachable mating connector is provided in the axial direction of the sleeve 8. Due to the non-angled plug-in direction, the shielding of the plug connector contact 9 can be effected here solely by the extended sleeve 8 of the second tubular component 7, so that an additional shield plate is not required here. Within the sleeve 8, an insulating chamber insert 14 can be seen, which electrically isolates the connector contact against the shielding sleeve 8.
