Abstract

The invention relates to a seal for a plug-in connector arrangement having a connector intended to releasably engage in a standard socket, wherein the seal is formed with an engagement-inhibiting means for permanently preventing engagement of the plug and a pressing means for pressing the non-engaging plug into the standard contact position thereof.

Description

Titel: Steckverbinder Title: Connector
Beschreibung description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft das oberbegrifflich Beanspruchte und bezieht sich somit auf die Abdichtung von Steck¬ verbindern . The present invention relates to the conceptually claimed and thus relates to the sealing of plug connectors ¬ .
Steckverbinder werden zum Anschließen elektrischer Geräte verwendet. Dazu wird an dem Gerät typisch eine Buchse vorge¬ sehen, in welche ein passender Stecker eingesetzt werden kann. Es sind dabei eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Normen für Buchsen-Steckerpaare bekannt. Obwohl derartige Buchsen- Steckerpaare nicht beliebig groß dimensioniert werden können, muss gleichwohl sichergestellt sein, dass der eingesetzte Stecker eine ausreichend große Auszugskraft besitzt, also nicht ohne Weiteres aus der zugeordneten Buchse entfernt wer- den kann. Dies kann beispielsweise erreicht werden mit Rastelementen, welche nach Einschieben des Steckers ein Ausziehen nur nach Lösen der Rastsperre ermöglichen. Connectors are used to connect electrical equipment. These typically have a socket is pre ¬ see in which a matching connector can be used on the device. There are a variety of different standards for female connector pairs known. Although such socket connector pairs can not be dimensioned arbitrarily large, it must nevertheless be ensured that the plug used has a sufficiently large pull-out force, so can not be easily removed from the associated socket. This can be achieved, for example, with latching elements which, after insertion of the plug, allow removal only after release of the latching lock.
Ein Beispiel hierfür sind die insbesondere in der Netzwerk- technik weit verbreiteten Stecker der RJ45-Norm. Diese haben einen etwa quaderförmigen Vorderbereich, an dessen Unterseite mehrere elektrische Kontakte parallel zueinander vorgesehen sind und auf dessen Oberseite ein Rastarm sitzt, der beim Einsetzen des Steckers in die Buchse zunächst nach unten ge- drückt wird, bis er hinter einen Rastanschlag geschoben wird, wo er in seine Rastposition weg vom Steckerkörper zurück schwenkt. Um den Stecker aus der Buchse zu entfernen, muss ein aus der Buchse herausragender Ansatz am Rastelement gegen den Körper gedrückt werden, was das Rastmittel aus der Rastposition nach unten schwenkt und ein Herausziehen des Ste¬ ckers erlaubt. An example of this is the RJ45 standard connector, which is widely used in network technology in particular. These have an approximately cuboid front region, on the underside of which a plurality of electrical contacts are provided parallel to one another and on the upper side of which a latching arm is seated, which is first pressed down when the plug is inserted into the socket until it is pushed behind a latching stop, where he pivots back into its rest position away from the plug body. To remove the plug from the socket, must a protruding from the socket approach to the locking element are pressed against the body, which pivots the locking means from the locking position down and allows withdrawal of Ste ¬ ckers.
Die bekannten Stecker dieser Art sind weit verbreitet und werden als Massenprodukte auch preiswert gefertigt. Aller¬ dings sind derartige bekannte Stecker zwar im Buchsenbereich normiert, werden aber mit unterschiedlichen Steckergriffkör- pern versehen, die nicht normiert sind. Ein Problem besteht deswegen dann, wenn die Anordnung der Witterung ausgesetzt ist. Es ist dann eine witterungssichere Anordnung vorzusehen. The known connectors of this type are widely used and are mass-produced inexpensively. ¬ all recently are indeed normalized such known connector on the connector panel, but are provided with different pern Steckergriffkör- that are not standardized. A problem therefore exists when the arrangement is exposed to the weather. It is then to provide a weatherproof arrangement.
Es ist dabei wünschenswert, herkömmliche Kabel verwenden zu können, damit elektrische Geräte, die über derartige bekannte Stecker angeschlossen werden sollen und der Witterung ausgesetzt sind, unabhängig von der erforderlichen Länge der Leitungen angeschlossen werden können. Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, Neues für die gewerbliche Anwendung bereitzustellen. It is desirable to be able to use conventional cables so that electrical devices that are to be connected via such known connector and exposed to the weather, regardless of the required length of the lines can be connected. The object of the present invention is to provide new products for commercial use.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird in unabhängiger Form beansprucht . The solution to this problem is claimed in an independent form.
Damit befasst sich die vorliegende Erfindung mit einer Dichtung für eine Steckverbinderanordnung mit einem in einer Normbuchse auslösbar einzurastenden Stecker, wobei vorgesehen ist, dass die Dichtung mit einem Rastunterdrückungsmittel für die dauerhafte Verhinderung des Steckereinrastens und einem Drängmittel zum Drängen des nicht einrastenden Steckers in seine normierte Kontaktposition gebildet ist. Ein erster Grundgedanke der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, zu sehen, dass die Einrastung ohne weiteres au¬ ßer Kraft gesetzt werden kann, wenn durch die Dichtung zugleich bei der Benutzung sichergestellt ist, dass der Ste¬ cker in seiner korrekten Kontaktposition verbleibt. Dies er¬ laubt es, ohne Beeinträchtigung durch die Rastmittel eine hinreichend dichte Verbindung vorzusehen, die guten Schutz gegen Luftfeuchtigkeit, Schlagregen usw. vorsieht. Thus, the present invention is concerned with a seal for a connector assembly releasably engageable with a standard socket connector, wherein it is provided that the seal with a locking suppression means for permanently preventing the Steckereinrastens and an urging means for urging the non-latching connector in its normalized contact position is formed. A first fundamental idea of the present invention is thus to be seen that the Latch can be set readily au ¬ SSER force if it is ensured by the gasket at the same time in use, that the Ste ¬ sugar remains in its correct contacting position. This he ¬ it allows, without being affected by the locking means to provide a sufficiently tight connection, which provides good protection against humidity, driving rain, etc.
Es ist möglich und bevorzugt, die Dichtung der vorliegenden Erfindung für einen Stecker zu verwenden, der als normiertes Element lediglich einen vorderen, quader- beziehungsweise blockförmigen Bereich aufweist, welcher insbesondere auf sei- ner Unterseite Kontaktelemente aufweist und auf seiner Oberseite mit dem Rastmittel versehen ist, wie dies bei Steckern der RJ45-Norm der Fall ist, während der Steckergriffkörper in herkömmlicher Weise ohne besondere Beschränkung gebildet werden kann, die Einhaltung üblicher Griffkörpergrößen vorausge- setzt. Es sei aber darauf hingewiesen, dass die Erfindung keinesfalls auf RJ45-Stecker beschränkt ist, sondern insbesondere auch andere Modularstecker, wie RJ21-Stecker und dergleichen einsetzbar sind. Gemeinsam ist derartigen Modular- steckern, beispielsweise auch der RJ11-, RJ14-, RJ12-Norm, dass sie einen blockförmigen Vorderbereich haben, in dem auf einer Seite Kontakte angeordnet sind, und auf dessen anderer Seite das Rastelement als angelenkter, im entlasteten Zustand abstehender Arm gebildet ist, welcher hinter einen Rastanschlag in der Buchse gelangt und so ein Ausziehen so lange verhindert, wie der Rastarm nicht gegen den Körper gedrückt wird. Die Dichtmanschette wird separat vom Stecker bevorzugt aus einem hochflexiblen Material gefertigt. Im Regelfall ist der Stecker, insbesondere bei Modularsteckern, breiter als das durch ihn angeschlossene Kabel. Die bevorzugte Flexibilität der Dichtmanschette ist dann so groß, dass gegebenenfalls auch ein bereits konfektionierter Stecker von der Rückseite, also durch die im Gebrauch das Kabel dichtend umgebende Öff¬ nung hindurch, in die Dichtmanschette eingeführt werden kann. Dies erlaubt es, die flexible Dichtmanschette einer erfin- dungsgemäßen Dichtung über einen vorkonfektionierten Stecker zu streifen und dadurch vorkonfektionierte Kabel verwendbar zu machen . It is possible and preferred to use the seal of the present invention for a plug having as a normalized element only a front, cuboid or block-shaped area, which has in particular on its underside contact elements and is provided on its upper side with the locking means As is the case with connectors of the RJ45 standard, while the plug handle body can be formed in a conventional manner without any particular restriction, it is assumed that conventional handle body sizes are adhered to. It should be noted, however, that the invention is by no means limited to RJ45 plug, but in particular other modular plug, such as RJ21 plug and the like can be used. Common to such modular plug, for example, the RJ11, RJ14, RJ12 standard that they have a block-shaped front area in which contacts are arranged on one side, and on the other side of the locking element as a hinged, in the unloaded state protruding Arm is formed, which passes behind a latching stop in the socket and so prevents withdrawal as long as the locking arm is not pressed against the body. The sealing collar is preferably made of a highly flexible material separately from the plug. As a rule, the plug, in particular with modular plugs, is wider than the cable connected through it. The preferred flexibility of the sealing sleeve is then so large that, if appropriate, can be introduced into the sealing sleeve, an already assembled plugs from the rear, ie by sealingly surrounding the cable in use Publ ¬ voltage therethrough. This makes it possible to strip the flexible sealing collar of a gasket according to the invention via a prefabricated plug and thereby make it possible to use prefabricated cables.
Das Rastverhinderungsmittel wird in einer bevorzugten Varian- te nicht einfach irgendwo mit dem Rastmittel in Eingriff treten, sondern bevorzugt, zumindest in jener Position, in welcher das Trennmittel in die Buchse drängt, auch in einer klar definierten Position am Rastelement anschlagen. Dazu können, bei Ausbildung des Steckers als Modularstecker, beidseits des Betätigungsarms für das Rastmittel Vorsprünge an dem Rastverhinderungsmittel vorgesehen sein, die gegen jene Kanten stoßen, die bei herkömmlicher Benutzung des Rastkabels an den Rastschultern anliegen. Auf diese Weise kann auf besonders einfache Weise sichergestellt werden, dass der Stecker unge- achtet der Außerkraftsetzung des Rastmittels in eine normgerechte Kontaktposition gelangt, einfach indem wiederum das Drängmittel in festgelegtem Kontakt mit dem Rastverhinderungsmittel steht. Es wird erfindungsgemäß die korrekte Lage des Steckers in der Buchse ungeachtet der Rastverhinderung gerade durch das Rastverhinderungsmittel die normgemäße Lage des Steckers gewährleistet. Es ist möglich und bevorzugt, wenn das Drängmittel eine Ge¬ winde- oder Bajonettmutter umfasst, die auf eine Befestigung an dem die Buchse aufweisenden Gehäuse drehbar ist. Auf diese Weise kann eine besonders einfache Montage und Demontage er- folgen. Alternativ ist eine Ausgestaltung etwa derart mög¬ lich, dass die Stecker linear eingeschoben werden und mit ei¬ ne Rasthaken am Gehäuse fixiert werden. Diese Rasthakenanordnung kann so gestaltet werden, dass sie mit oder ohne Werk¬ zeug lösbar ist. In a preferred variant, the catch-preventing means does not simply engage with the latching means anywhere, but preferably, even in a clearly defined position on the latching element, at least in that position in which the separating means pushes into the bushing. For this purpose, projections may be provided on the detent preventing means on both sides of the actuating arm for the detent means, when the plug is formed as a modular plug, which abut those edges which contact the detent shoulders in conventional use of the detent cable. In this way it can be ensured in a particularly simple manner that the plug, regardless of the override of the latching means, reaches a standard-conforming contact position, simply by the urging means again being in fixed contact with the catch-preventing means. It is according to the invention ensures the correct position of the plug in the socket regardless of the locking prevention just by the catch preventing the standard position of the plug. It is possible and preferred that the urging means comprises a Ge ¬ Winder or bayonet nut, which is rotatably mounted on attachment to said sleeve comprising a housing. In this way, a particularly simple assembly and disassembly can take place. Alternatively, a configuration is such as mög ¬ Lich that the plugs are inserted and fixed linearly with egg ¬ ne catch hooks on the housing. These locking hook arrangement can be designed so that it is releasable with or without work ¬ convincing.
Schutz wird auch beansprucht für eine Steckverbindung mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Dichtung sowie für ein Elektrogerät, das für die Verwendung mit der erfindungsgemäßen Dichtung ausgestaltet ist. Protection is also claimed for a plug-in connection with a seal according to the invention as well as for an electrical appliance which is designed for use with the seal according to the invention.

Nach Figur 1 umfasst eine allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Dich¬ tung 1 für eine Steckverbinderanordnung 2 mit einem in einer Normbuchse 3 auslösbar einrastbaren Stecker 4 ein Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 für die dauerhafte Verhinderung des Einrastens des Steckers 4 in der Buchse und ein Drängmittel 6 zum Drängen des nicht einrastenden Steckers 4 in seine Kontaktposition 2 bei Benutzung, Referring to Figure 1, generally designated with 1 log ¬ device 1 for a connector assembly 2 comprises a releasably engageable in a standard connector 3 connector 4 a latching suppression means 5 for permanently preventing the latching of the plug 4 in the bushing and an urging means 6 for urging the non- latching plug 4 in its contact position 2 in use,
Die Dichtung 1 ist im vorliegenden Fall dazu ausgebildet, den Stecker gegen atmosphärische Einflüsse wie Feuchtigkeit, Schlagregen und dergleichen geschützt an einem Gehäuse 10 anzubringen. The seal 1 is formed in the present case to protect the plug against atmospheric influences such as moisture, driving rain and the like to a housing 10.

Während das gezeigte Gehäuse 10 lediglich 2 Anschlüsse und eine Wand-Befestigungsmöglichkeit aufweist, und so beispielsweise als Kupplung dienen kann, ist einsichtig, dass die Steckverbinderanordnung 2 auch ohne Weiteres in einem elektrischen Gerät, das im Freien betrieben wird, wie beispielsweise einer Überwachungskamera angebracht werden kann. Bevorzugt ist dabei, wenn die Ein- trittsöffnung 5 für den Stecker 4 im Gebrauch bei erwarteter Montage nach unten zeigt. The connector assembly 2 is a conventional per se modular plug, which is shown here as RJ45 connector as preferred. While the illustrated housing 10 has only two terminals and a wall mounting capability, and thus may serve as a coupling, for example, it will be appreciated that the connector assembly 2 is also readily mounted in an outdoor electrical device such as a surveillance camera can. It is preferred if the exit opening 5 for the plug 4 in use at expected mounting points down.
Die Normbuchse 3 der hier dargestellten RJ45 Steckverbinder- anordnung 2 ist im Gehäuse beabstandet von der in der Wand des Gehäuses 10 angeordneten Eintrittsöffnung 5 für den Ste¬ cker positioniert . The standard socket 3 the illustrated RJ45 connector- assembly 2 is in the housing spaced from the arranged in the wall of the housing 10 inlet opening 5 positioned for Ste ¬ sugar.
Die Steckverbinderanordnung 2 ist so konstruiert, dass auf der Unterseite 4a des Steckers elektrische Kontakte vorgese¬ hen sind, die mit Gegenkontakten in der Normbuchse 3 in Ein¬ griff treten, wobei auf der Oberseite ein Rastmittel 4b vor¬ gesehen ist, welches mit einer Auszugssperre in der Normbuch¬ se 3 solange in auszugsverhinderndem Eingriff steht, wie hier der einseitig angelenkte Arm 4bl des Rastmittels 4b, solange er nicht gegen den Steckerkörper 4c gepresst wird. The connector assembly 2 is constructed so that electrical contacts are vorgese ¬ hen on the bottom 4a of the plug contact the handle with mating contacts in the standard socket 3 in a ¬, wherein on the upper surface 4b, a locking means is seen ¬ that a removal barrier in the standard book ¬ se 3 as long as in anti-avoidance engagement, as here the one-sided articulated arm 4bl of the locking means 4b, as long as it is not pressed against the plug body 4c.
Ein herkömmlicher normgerechter Stecker ohne erfindungsgemäße Dichtungsanordnung kann somit zwar mit dem Gehäuse 10 verwen- det werden, erfordert aber zum Lösen gegebenenfalls einenA conventional standard plug without seal assembly according to the invention can thus be used with the housing 10, but may require one to release
Eingriff mit Werkzeug und er leistet überdies keine Dichtigkeit. Zumindest ist jedoch ein Betrieb in Innenräumen ohne zusätzliche Mittel oder ein temporärer Betrieb ohne Dichtmittel, etwa zu Testzwecken an einem bereits angebrachten Gerät, möglich. Intervention with tools and he also makes no tightness. However, at least indoor operation without additional means or temporary operation without sealant, such as for testing purposes on an already mounted device, is possible.
Die Normbuchse 3 für den Modularstecker ist per se herkömmlich und hat Gegenkontakte zu den Kontakten am Stecker 4 sowie eine herabhängende Rastschulter, welche das vom Stecker- körper im entspannten Zustand abstehende Rastmittel 4b zu¬ nächst beim Einschieben des Steckers in die Buchse herunterzudrücken vermag und, nach vollständigem Einschub des Ste- ckers 4, eine Entspannung des heruntergedrückten Rastmittels erlaubt, so dass die Rastkante 4b2 und 4b2' des Rastmittels 4b hinter die Rastschulter kommt und dadurch den Stecker gegen Herausziehen sperrt. The standard socket 3 for the modular plug is per se conventional and has mating contacts to the contacts on the plug 4 and a depending latching shoulder, which is capable of compressing the plug-in body in the relaxed state protruding latching means 4b to ¬ next when inserting the plug into the socket and, after complete insertion of the stone ckers 4, a relaxation of the depressed locking means allowed, so that the locking edge 4b2 and 4b2 'of the locking means 4b comes behind the locking shoulder and thereby locks the plug against withdrawal.
Das Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 ist, vgl. insbesondere Figur als separates Bauelement gebildet, durch welches der Stecker körper hindurch geschoben werden kann. Es weist an dem vorderen Ende eine Öffnung 5a auf, die passgenau der genorra- ten Größe des Blocks des Modularsteckers 4 entspricht und, vorstehend vor der Öffnung 5a zwei Ansätze 5bl und 5b2, welche so dimensioniert und angeordnet sind, dass sie beidseits des Rastmittelarmes 4bl auf den Rastkanten 4b2' bzw. 4b2 anschlagen, wenn das Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 vom Kabelende aus nach vorne gedrängt wird. Das Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 weist eine Länge auf, die geeignet ist, die üblichen Griffkörpergrößen des Modularkörpers aufzunehmen. The locking suppression means 5 is, cf. in particular figure formed as a separate component, through which the plug body can be pushed through. It has at the front end an opening 5a, which corresponds exactly to the genorra- th size of the block of the modular plug 4 and, above the opening 5a two lugs 5bl and 5b2, which are dimensioned and arranged so that they both sides of the latching arm 4bl strike the locking edges 4b2 'and 4b2, when the locking suppression means 5 is urged from the cable end to the front. The detent suppression means 5 has a length suitable for accommodating the usual handle body sizes of the module body.
Am Kabelende weist das Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 einen ring förmigen Kragen 5c auf, der dazu ausgebildet ist, auf einem Rand 7a um die Eintrittsöffnung 7 herum aufzuliegen. At the cable end, the locking suppression means 5 has a ring-shaped collar 5 c, which is adapted to rest on an edge 7 a around the inlet opening 7 around.
Die Dichtung 1 umfasst weiter eine Überwurfmutter 8, die vor liegend als Bajonettmutter ausgebildet ist und mit einem Ba- jonettanschluss 7b um die Eintrittsöffnung 7 herum in Eingriff gebracht werden kann. Die Bajonettmutter 8 ist so dimensioniert, dass von hinten eine Dichtmanschette 12 aufgeschoben werden kann, die über den Kragen 5c übergreift und gemeinsam mit dem Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 durch Anziehen des Drängmittels 6 auf dem Bajonettgewinde des Gehäuses 10 dicht gegen das Gehäuse gepresst werden kann. Die Dichtmanschette 12 selbst ist aus flexiblem Material, insbesondere hochflexiblem Kunststoff oder Kautschuk gebildet und so stark dehnbar, dass der Stecker durch den im Gebrauch um das Kabel 11 anliegende Dichtmanschette 12 der Dichtung 9 ohne diese zu beschädigen geschoben werden kann. The seal 1 further comprises a union nut 8, which is formed horizontally as a bayonet nut and can be brought into engagement with a bayonet connection 7b around the inlet opening 7. The bayonet nut 8 is dimensioned so that from behind a sealing sleeve 12 can be pushed, which engages over the collar 5c and can be pressed together with the locking suppression means 5 by tightening the urging means 6 on the bayonet thread of the housing 10 tight against the housing. The sealing collar 12 itself is formed of flexible material, in particular highly flexible plastic or rubber and so strong elastic that the plug can be pushed by the voltage applied to the cable 11 in the sealing sleeve 12 of the seal 9 without damaging them.
Wie aus dem Vergleich von Figur 4 zwischen der Dichtmanschette und verschiedenen in gleichem Maßstab abgebildeten her¬ kömmlichen Steckergriffkörpern ersichtlich, ist die Dichtman- schette so groß gebildet, dass sie den aus dem Gehäuse 10 herausragenden Teil von Steckergriffkörpern ohne Weiteres aufnehmen kann. As can be seen from the comparison of Figure 4 between the sealing collar and various depicted in the same scale forth ¬ conventional plug handle bodies, the sealing collar is formed so large that it can accommodate the out of the housing 10 is part of plug handle bodies readily.
Die Anordnung wird verwendet wie folgt: The arrangement is used as follows:
Zunächst wird das Gehäuse 10 mit nach unten weisender Öffnung 7 im Freien montiert. Dann wird eine herkömmliche RJ45 Leitung bereitgestellt und zunächst das Kabel in die Bajonettmutter 8 gesteckt, durch die Rückseite der Dichtung 9 und dann durch das Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5. Danach wird die Dichtung über das Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 gestreift und die Bajonettmutter 8 über die Dichtung 9. Dies geschieht, während das Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 bereits mit den Laschen 5bl, 5b2 gegen die Rastkanten 4b2 und 4b2' anliegt. Der Rastmittelarm 4bl ist somit heruntergedrückt. Nun kann der Stecker 4 in die Normbuchse 3 eingeschoben werden, wobei er nicht verrastet, da das Rastmittel 4 heruntergedrückt ist. Durch Fixieren der Bajonettmutter 8 an der entsprechenden Befestigung am Gehäuse 10 wird dann durch geeignete Ausformun- gen im Innenbereich der Bajonettmutter 8 das Rastunterdrückungsmittel 5 gegen das Gehäuseinnere gedrückt, was Kraft über die Laschen 5bl und 5b2 auf die Rastkanten 4bl und 4b2 ausübt und somit den Stecker nach vorne in die Normbuchse 3 treibt. Durch geeignete Wahl der Beabstandung der Normbuchse 3 von der Öffnung 7 im Gehäuse ist dabei eine normgerechte Lage erzielt, sobald das Bajonett verriegelt ist. Dies gilt unabhängig von der Form des Steckergriffkörpers , solange üb¬ liche Größen des Steckergriffkörpers eingehalten werden; so¬ mit sind handelsübliche Kabel ohne weiteres einsetzbar, und zwar auch dann, wenn die zuverlässige Kontaktierung sicherheitsrelevant ist. Gleichzeitig ist eine Dichtwirkung er- zielt, da das Gehäuse selbst als dicht angenommen werden kann, eine Dichtung um das Kabel erfolgt und auch eine Ab¬ dichtung im Bereich um den Rand der Öffnung herum durch Anpressen der Dichtmanschette mittels des Kragens 5c gegen das Gehäuse erfolgt. Die Anordnung ist somit dicht gegen atmo- sphärische Einflüsse wie Feuchtigkeit und Regen. First, the housing 10 is mounted with downwardly facing opening 7 outdoors. Then, a conventional RJ45 line is provided and the cable is first inserted into the bayonet nut 8, through the back of the seal 9 and then through the latching suppression means 5. Thereafter, the seal is slipped over the latching suppression means 5 and the bayonet nut 8 is passed over the seal 9. This happens while the locking suppression means 5 already rests with the tabs 5bl, 5b2 against the locking edges 4b2 and 4b2 '. The latching arm 4bl is thus depressed. Now, the plug 4 can be inserted into the standard socket 3, wherein it does not lock, since the locking means 4 is depressed. By fixing the bayonet nut 8 to the corresponding attachment to the housing 10, the detent suppression means 5 is then pressed against the housing interior by means of suitable formations in the inner area of the bayonet nut 8, which force is applied to the detent edges 4bl and 4b2 via the tabs 5bl and 5b2 exercises and thus drives the plug forward into the standard socket 3. By a suitable choice of the spacing of the standard socket 3 of the opening 7 in the housing while a standard position is achieved as soon as the bayonet is locked. This applies regardless of the shape of the plug handle body, as long as ¬ Liche sizes of the plug handle body are met; so ¬ with standard cable readily be used, even if the reliable contact is relevant to safety. Simultaneously, a sealing effect is ER- aims, since the housing itself may be assumed to be sealed, a seal around the cable occurs and is also a trailing seal in the area around the edge of the opening by pressing the sealing collar by means of the collar 5c against the housing , The arrangement is therefore tight against atmospheric influences such as moisture and rain.
Während vorstehend eine spezifische Anbindung zwischen Dicht manschette und der zum Fixieren des Steckers am Gehäuse verwendeten Mutter oder dergl. beschrieben wurde, ist diese Anbindung nicht zwingend wie beschrieben. Vielmehr sind andere Ausgestaltungen möglich. Dies sei erläutert unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 6, in der unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungen beispiel haft dargestellt sind. Im obersten der in Fig. 6 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele ist eine Dichtmanschette gezeigt, die - wie vorstehend beschrieben- den Kragen des Einsatzes 5 übergreift, wobei die z.B. als Mutter, auszubildende Befestigung über den Kragen übergreift. Diese Anordnung hat den Vorteil der einfachen Fertigung. Nachteilig ist aber bei dieser Variante, dass die Befestigung ihrerseits auf der Dichtung aufsitzt, was eine womöglich geringere Auszugsfestigkeit bedingt. Zudem erfolgt bei Verwendung einer Mutter auch eine Drehbewegung der Mutter über die weiche Dichtungsmanschette, was die Langzeitstabilität beeinträchtigen kann. Die in Fig. 6 dargestellte mittlere Variante sieht daher vor, dass die Dichtmanschette bis zum Kragen vorstößt und dort mit einem übergestreiften Ring fixiert wird. Der Ring selbst kann aus hartem Kunststoff gefertigt sein. Die Mutter berührt dann nur diesen Ring. Um eine Dichtung gegen das Gehäuse zu errei- chen, kann die zum Gehäuse weisende Seite des Kragens mit einem dichtenden O-Ring versehen werden. Dieser kann insbesondere aufgesetzt werden; dass er stattdessen auch direkt am Gehäuse vorgesehen werden könnte, sei der Vollständigkeit halber erwähnt. Diese Variante ist ebenfalls einfach zu fer- tigen, sehr zuverlässig im Gebrauch, erfordert aber die Montage von mehr Teilen und birgt überdies die Gefahr, dass bei einem späteren Austausch des Dichtrings Normhaltigkeit nicht gewährleistet wird. Eine besonders einfach zu montierende Variante ist dagegen in Fig. 6 unten dargestellt. Hier ist eine Dichtmanschette gezeigt, die an einen Einsatz direkt angeformt ist. Die Dichtmanschette ist dabei durch Löcher im Kragenbereich gespritzt, um auf der im Gebrauch dem Gehäuse zugewandten Seite einen Dichtring zu erzeugen. Diese Anordnung ist komplizierter zu fertigen, erlaubt aber eine besonders einfache Montage. While above a specific connection between the sealing sleeve and the nut used to fix the connector on the housing or the like has been described, this connection is not mandatory as described. Rather, other configurations are possible. This will be explained with reference to FIG. 6, in which different embodiments are shown by way of example. In the uppermost of the exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIG. 6, a sealing collar is shown which-as described above-engages over the collar of the insert 5, wherein the attachment, for example as a nut, engages over the collar via the collar. This arrangement has the advantage of easy manufacturing. The disadvantage, however, in this variant that the attachment is in turn seated on the seal, resulting in a possibly lower pullout strength. In addition takes place if a nut is used, the nut will also rotate over the soft gasket, which may affect long-term stability. The illustrated in Fig. 6 mean variant therefore provides that the sealing sleeve penetrates to the collar and is fixed there with a striped ring. The ring itself can be made of hard plastic. The mother then only touches this ring. In order to achieve a seal against the housing, the side of the collar facing the housing can be provided with a sealing O-ring. This can be set up in particular; that he could instead be provided directly on the housing, for the sake of completeness mentioned. This variant is also easy to manufacture, very reliable in use, but requires the assembly of more parts and also involves the risk that in a subsequent replacement of the sealing ring is not guaranteed standard. A particularly easy-to-install variant, however, is shown in Fig. 6 below. Here is a sealing sleeve is shown, which is molded directly to an insert. The sealing collar is injected through holes in the collar region in order to produce a sealing ring on the side facing the housing in use. This arrangement is more complicated to manufacture, but allows a particularly simple installation.
