Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector connection arrangement for moisture-proof electrical connectors.
  • a connector for such connector connection arrangements is known from DE 197 37 884 A1 known.
  • the elastic sealing element forms the plug head, in which the electrical contacts are guided and supported by a special guide.
  • different sealing elements and different guides are required. Since the sealing element is the main component in the prior art plugs, a variety of different parts must be kept in stock to build different connector types.
  • Such connector systems are used in particular for the control of complex water features and must therefore have a high requirement for tightness. Preferably, these should even meet the IP68 class and be usable underwater.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve a previously known connector connection arrangement such that with optimized tightness of the manufacturing cost is reduced. This object is achieved by a connector connection arrangement with the features of claim 1.
  • both the base body and the contact carrier are preferably made of a rigid material, in particular hard plastic, which ensure exact positioning to one another.
  • the connector according to the invention provides a remedy by the mounting flange has a rigid contact area for abutment with a socket and the sealing element has a surface seal and on a partial surface thereof has an increased seal shape.
  • the Sealing element is preferably designed so that the surface seal in the unconnected state of the plug with the socket slightly beyond the contact area of the body. When inserting the plug into the socket and the tension of this opposite by a screw, the sealing element is then squeezed with its surface seal so far that the contact area of the mounting flange comes to rest on the socket. The raised seal is even more squeezed and ensures the absolute tightness.
  • the molded gasket therefore extends completely around the electrical contacts.
  • the base body at the rear side of the sealing element has a projection which corresponds approximately to the shape of the molded seal, so that an increased pressure is exerted precisely on the area of the molded seal.
  • sealing element is releasably fixed to the base body. Since the sealing element is subject to the highest wear, this can then be easily replaced without the whole plug is unusable.
  • the plug has a cavity in the main body, which is completely filled with a potting compound.
  • This achieves a capillary lock.
  • a low-viscosity potting compound which can preferably be introduced into the cavity of the base body via a front-side opening of the contact carrier, for which purpose the opening of the contact carrier must extend into this cavity.
  • the potting compound does not run out of the plug at the rear end and no previous backup with a thick grout mass from the rear, the plug has a rear seal in the exit area of the cable which surrounds the cable.
  • This rear seal may preferably be formed conical and be pressed from behind into the body. It should also be made of an elastic material.
  • the contact carrier has one or more coding projections and / or coding recesses which cooperate with corresponding projections or recesses of the respective socket.
  • the contact carrier with at least one guide projection, whereby this can be safely inserted into the base body. Also, a support flange of the contact carrier is useful, with this comes to rest on a defined stop of the body, so that there is always an exact positioning of the electrical contacts during assembly.
  • the invention is also concerned with a plug connection arrangement comprising an electrical distributor, this distributor being characterized in that it is fixedly connected at least to an electric cable, at the end of which there is a previously described inventive plug.
  • the distributor according to the invention is also completely encapsulated, so that an absolute tightness is guaranteed.
  • a connector assembly is constructed of distributors with two fixed line cables in which one of the cable is a power cable with power connector for the power supply and the other a control cable with control connector for the control of the system, in particular by a bus system.
  • Several such distributors can thereby be connected in series, with both the power supply and the control signals being looped through the individual distributors to the next.
  • Each distributor can then control a corresponding consumer, for example a pump, a water nozzle or the like.
  • the in the Fig. 1 and 2 shown plug has a base body 1, leading out of the back of a sheathed electrical cable 2.
  • the seal on the back is made by an elastic sealing plug 3.
  • the main body has front side a mounting flange 4.
  • a contact carrier 5 or plug insert used positively.
  • the contact carrier 5 carries the electrical contact pins 6, which are connected to the cable 2.
  • the mounting flange 4 has a rigid contact region 14 for engagement with a socket, as later still with reference Fig. 4 is described.
  • an elastic sealing element 7 is added, which has a surface seal 17 and a protruding forward increased molded seal 27.
  • the contact carrier 5 is provided with the electrical contacts 6 and the cable 2 and introduced into the base body 1.
  • the contact carrier has as shown preferably guide projections 15, which facilitate the exact insertion into a corresponding opening of the base body 1.
  • the contact element 5 has a peripheral support flange 25, which comes to rest in the assembled state at a defined stop 11 of the base body 1.
  • the flange 25 is preferably not annular, but flattened on two side areas, so that plugs can be used with a smaller footprint and several plugs are mounted side by side in a simple manner in a multiple jack in a simple manner. (Please refer Fig. 7 .)
  • the front of the body is provided with the elastic sealing element 7, which is preferably not glued to the base body 1, but merely inserted into this. In this way, the greatest wear underlying elastic sealing element 7 can be replaced at any time without much effort.
  • Fig. 3 shows exemplarily four different variants of contact carriers 5. These have each coding projections 45 or Codianssausnaturalept 55. These serve in conjunction with corresponding counter-recesses not shown or counter-projections in the respective sockets to ensure that the plug can only be used in the appropriate for them and associated sockets ,
  • Fig. 4 shows the plug Fig. 2 Inserted into a socket 9.
  • the contact carrier 5 is inserted with its electrical contact plugs 6 in a corresponding receptacle 19 of the female connector 9.
  • the fastening flange 4 of the connector base body 1 comes with its rigid contact area 14 in contact with a contact surface 10 of the socket 9.
  • For fastening pass through screws not shown Verschraubungsaus Principleungen 24 of the mounting flange 4 and engage in thread 29 of the female connector 9 a.
  • the not plugged in accordance with Fig. 1 4 slightly protruding surface seal 17 is compressed over the rigid contact region 14 of the mounting flange, so that the rigid contact region 14 rests firmly against the contact surface 10.
  • the protruding molded seal 27 which thereby forms an absolutely watertight seal in the transition region between plug and socket 9 creates. This is further enhanced when the base body 1 as preferred and in Fig. 3 to see at its the sealing element 7 facing the front of the shape of the molded seal 27 following projection 31, is pressed even more firmly by the molded seal 27. Even if the Befest Trentsverschraubung unevenly or unilaterally tightened too tight, it can be done because of the rigid contact area 14 no jamming of the plug and no resulting leakage.
  • Fig. 5 shows a plan view of the female connector 9 without plug and plug Fig. 6 make a cut through the object Fig. 5 , also without plug.
  • Fig. 7 a differently shaped contact surface 10 'is shown, which simultaneously engages over four sockets.
  • Fig. 8 shows the front and rear view of an electrical distributor or a distribution or junction box 12. This has on the front of an input jack 9 ', in which the plug Fig. 1
  • the distribution or connection box 12 is preferably completely encapsulated as a watertight unit, since absolutely watertight electrical connections can be created via the plugs according to the invention in a simple manner
  • Fig. 9 schematically shows how such distributors 12 can be connected in series, for power supply or control, for example, various nozzles 20.
  • Fig. 9a only one of these chains is shown while Fig. 9b shows the connection of the devices 20 via two chains of distribution boxes 12, one of which serves the power supply and the other the control.
  • the pickup devices 20 are preferably provided with two fixedly connected to the devices 20 cables 21 and two connectors 22 according to the invention, each plugged into a socket 8 of the distribution box 12 and there are waterproof fixed by the particular design.
  • the connector assembly according to the invention is particularly suitable for the flexible design of water features, the corresponding connectors are produced inexpensively in large variance and in conjunction with the electrical distributor 12, 13 form an easily assembled and waterproof unit that is extremely less susceptible to interference.
