Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a connection system comprising a housing and a nut which can be arranged on the housing. Furthermore, the invention is directed to a connector with such a connection system.
  • the housing may for example serve to receive one or more contact elements, which are connected to one or more conductors of a cable contacting in the housing. After connecting the conductor of the cable with the contact elements is usually on the housing a nut, also called union nut, screwed and tightened with a certain torque.
  • the nut usually has a sleeve body with an internal thread, wherein on the sleeve body, a hexagonal body is arranged, via which the nut can be attached to the housing and released.
  • the nut serves to seal the housing against moisture and dirt in the area of contact between the conductors of the inserted cable and the contacts.
  • a strain relief for the conductor of the cable can be realized in the contacted state.
  • connection system according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE3209734 A1 known.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a solution by means of which an accidental release of the nut can be prevented from the housing.
  • this object is achieved in that the nut is formed of an elastic material and are formed on the nut latching elements, which can be latched with formed on the housing Gegenverrastierin.
  • the longitudinal side surfaces of the nut are pressed in the direction of the central axis of the nut, whereby the latching elements can unhook from the Gegenverrastierin.
  • the nut can be turned off and / or removed from the housing.
  • the material of the mother is in spite of his Elasticity preferably formed so dimensionally stable that the compression of the mother can be done on their longitudinal side surfaces only by means of a tool which is pushed along the longitudinal side surfaces of the nut on the outer peripheral surface of the nut and thereby the compression is realized.
  • the latching element are annularly arranged on the nut and the counter latching elements annularly on the housing.
  • the annular arrangement is preferably carried out around the entire peripheral surface of the nut or the housing, whereby a particularly secure attachment or locking of the nut can be realized on the housing.
  • the latching elements are preferably arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the nut.
  • the latching elements are thus preferably formed on a different surface of the nut, as the thread or the internal thread of the nut, by means of which the nut is screwed onto the housing or the thread of the housing.
  • a ring member is formed, wherein on an inner surface of the ring member, the counter-locking elements are arranged.
  • the ring element preferably forms at the same time a peripheral around the outer peripheral surface of the thread shoulder or collar, on which rest the mother in the attached state to the housing and thereby can be supported. As a result, the fastening of the nut to the housing can be further improved.
  • the latching elements and the Gegenverrast comprise are also preferably at least partially wedge-shaped.
  • the wedge-shaped configuration of the latching elements and the Gegenverrastieri is preferably designed such that during a rotational movement of the nut for securing the nut on the housing, the latching elements can slide over the Schmidtverrastiata by the provided with a slope> 0 ° flanks or longitudinal side surfaces of the wedge-shaped latching elements and can slide against each other Schwarzverrastiata.
  • At least two actuating elements for receiving a tool are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the nut.
  • the actuators are preferably block or box-like and arranged distributed in a circle around the longitudinally extending outer peripheral surface of the nut.
  • six actuating elements are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, so that the release of the latching can be done via the actuating elements, for example with a hex wrench.
  • the actuating elements are preferably connected in pairs, so that two juxtaposed actuating elements are connected to each other, for example via a web.
  • the actuators have an actuating surface with a slope> 0 °.
  • the actuating surface is the surface over which the actuation of the actuating elements takes place with the tool.
  • the slope of the actuating surface increases in the direction of the fastening direction of the nut.
  • the actuating element or the actuating surface of the actuating element is thus preferably conical.
  • the nut has an inner ring and a parallel to the inner ring arranged outer ring on which the latching elements are formed, on, wherein the outer ring is formed spaced from the inner ring.
  • the thread of the nut is preferably formed on the inner ring.
  • the gap has the effect that the elasticity of the nut can be increased, in particular in the area of the toothed elements and optionally of the actuating elements which are arranged on the outer ring, whereby the release of the latching of the latching elements with the counter latching elements can be simplified by means of a tool Gap for compressing the nut in the direction of its central axis less force must be expended by the outer ring is deformed over the gap in the direction of the inner ring. A simultaneous deformation of the inner ring and thus of the inner ring trained thread of the mother can be prevented.
  • a housing 10 for example, a housing of a connector, shown schematically.
  • the housing 10 is cylindrical with an inner space 12 for receiving, for example, not shown here contact elements for contacting conductors of a cable, not shown here.
  • the housing 10 has on its outer peripheral surface a thread 14 on which a as in Fig. 3 shown nut 16 can be fastened by twisting.
  • the ring member 18 is formed in the attachment direction 20 of the nut 16 to the housing 10 below the thread 14, so that the nut 16 in a state attached to the housing 10, as in Fig. 4 is shown, can rest on the ring member 18.
  • the ring member 18 has a peripheral outer edge 22, wherein on the pointing in the direction of the thread 14 inner surface of the edge 22 of the ring member 18 in formed on the nut 16 latching elements 24 counter-locking elements 26 are formed.
  • the latching elements 24 and the Gegenverrastieri 26 are formed in the form of Verrastzähnen.
  • a plurality of juxtaposed Gegenverrastierin 26 is annularly formed on the entire circumferential inner surface of the edge 22 of the ring member 18, wherein the Gegenverrastieri 26 are at least partially wedge-shaped.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detailed representation of the Schmidtverrastieri 26 of the housing 10, wherein it can be seen that the Schmidtverrastieri 26 each have a first portion 60 and a second portion 62, wherein the second portion 62 wedge-shaped, ie that the longitudinal side surfaces 36 of the Gegenverrastiata 26 with a slope > 0 ° are provided, is formed.
  • the latching takes place as soon as the corresponding Verrastelemenet 24 of the nut 16 has been guided over the first portion 60 and then over the second portion 62 and on the end face 40th the Schmidtverrastides 26 on the second portion 62 is locked.
