Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking device for the reversible locking of a connector housing with a mating connector housing provided according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Connector housings usually carry a plurality of contact elements, which are connected for example to the individual conductors of a connected cable.
  • the contact elements of the connector housing are contacted with the contact elements of a matching mating connector.
  • the contact elements are on the plug-pin side or socket-shaped. Locking devices are needed so that the contacted contact elements of the connector and mating connector can not be accidentally released from each other by mistake, for example by a slight pull on the cable.
  • the DE 195 08 605 C1 shows a connector housing which has pivotally mounted on both sides, U-shaped locking bracket.
  • the locking brackets comprise rocker-type locking elements which are guided over pins of a mating connector housing during the locking process.
  • This connector housing interlock is known under the brand name Han-easy-lock® .
  • a connector that is secured by locking brackets is considered very reliable. Falls a connector housing, which includes such locking bracket, but on the ground, the Locking bar bent or the storage of the straps damaged. This reduces the reliability of such a lock. In addition, the sealing effect between the connector housings decreases.
  • the DE 197 54 528 A1 shows a locking device for connecting two mated connectors.
  • On a basic form are perpendicular from Verriegelungsarmcrue, each having insertion cutouts.
  • the connectors each have pins which cooperate with the insertion portions of the locking device for reversible connection.
  • Such a locking device can also be significantly damaged by falling.
  • the DE1852077U discloses a plug that can be reversibly fixed in a socket via a rubber strap.
  • the rubber strap is elongated and flat shaped and contains two holes at the end, each of which interacts with pins of the socket and the plug.
  • the US 3,163,481 A shows a similar principle. Here, however, the rubber strap end is provided with metallic clips that surround the side walls of the socket.
  • the WO 2011069521 A1 shows a connector housing, which has two push buttons.
  • the push buttons are operatively connected to sheets located inside the housing, which contain a recess which engages over a latching extension of the respective mating connector housing.
  • This connector and lock is known in the market under the name Han-Yellock® .
  • Such a lock is very reliable and also against mechanical effects (falling, throwing around, etc.) armed.
  • such a lock has a higher price than a lock which is realized via locking bracket.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a locking device for plug-together connector housing, which is robust and inexpensive.
  • the object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • the locking device according to the invention is provided for the reversible locking of a connector housing with a matching mating connector housing. But it is also conceivable to use the locking device for locking a connector housing in a machine bushing.
  • a connector housing and mating connector housing are also referred to as housing for short. This is especially the case when features equivalent to both (connector housing and mating connector housing) can be transferred.
  • connector housing Inside the connector housing contact elements are arranged, which are each connected to the individual conductors of a connected cable.
  • Several individual contact elements are often combined in so-called connector modules, as for example in the WO 2011069521 A1 are disclosed. The modules can then be inserted as a whole in the connector housing.
  • the locking device comprises at least one pair of locking arms.
  • the locking arm pair consists of two individual locking arms, which protrude in the opposite direction to each other from the main body of the locking device.
  • the individual locking arms comprise receptacles.
  • the formed on the respective connector housing bearing pin can engage, so that the two connector housings (plug and mating connector) are locked together.
  • Locked in this case means that Connector housing and the mating connector housing are resiliently pressed against each other.
  • a resilient pressing against each other two mutually mated housing is realized in that the locking arms of the locking device are stretchable in the axial direction. Therefore, the locking arms of the locking device made of an elastomeric material, such as nitrile rubber (NBR, HNBR), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), polyurethane or a combination of the aforementioned materials.
  • the elastomeric material is additionally fiber-reinforced.
  • a particularly durable locking device is achieved.
  • the plugged together connector housing are sealed by a sealing element against the ingress of media.
  • the sealing element is a part of the locking device.
  • the sealing element is essentially formed by the main body of the locking device and is therefore adapted to the design of the connector housing. From the main body is the at least one Verriegelungsarmpress so that sealing element and locking device are formed as a one-piece component.
  • the main body can also be referred to as a locking ring.
  • the locking ring is clamped between the joining seam of the connector housing and the mating connector housing, thereby sealing them.
  • at least one locking arm is formed on the locking ring.
  • a plurality of locking arms are integrally formed on the locking ring.
  • the elastomeric material of which the locking device is formed has a hardness between 90 and 30 Shore-B.
  • the elastomeric material of which the locking device is formed has a hardness between 90 and 30 Shore A.
  • the receptacles comprise a metallic component by which they are reinforced.
  • the metallic component may be an eyelet that encloses the edge of the receptacle of the locking arm.
  • the recordings can also be reinforced by a plastic component.
  • This plastic reinforcement can be directly vulcanized or injected into the locking device during the manufacturing process.
  • At least one locking arm of the locking device is irreversibly attached to a connector housing.
  • This can be realized for example via a riveted joint.
  • the rivet head is irreversibly deformed with a suitable tool.
  • the Locking device connected captive with a connector housing.
  • An irreversible attachment of the locking device to a connector housing can also be achieved via an adhesive bond. It is also conceivable to vulcanize the locking device directly to the connector housing, especially if it is a plastic housing.
  • the locking device has only one locking arm, which is integrally formed on the base body and protrudes from this base body in the opposite direction.
  • the main body is attached to a housing (for example, glued), for example.
  • the lock arm engages the other housing, locking both housings together.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a locked with a connector housing 1 mating connector 2.
  • the connector housing 1 and mating connector 2 is a available for many years on the market component. Here are connector housing 1 and mating connector 2 structurally the same. This is not always the case.
  • the connector housing 1 includes an opening 3 through which the cable to be connected (not shown here) projects into the interior of the connector housing 1. On the longitudinal sides of the connector housing 1 bearing pin 18 are formed.
  • the FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the locking device 9.
  • the locking device 9 has a substantially rectangular base body 11. Within the base body 11, a circumferential ridge 12 is provided, which correlates with the housing edge of the connector 1.
  • the web 12 is located on both sides of the base body 11. As a result, two mutually locked connector housing 1, 2 (plug and mating connector housing) against media such as dust and water seals.
  • the main body 11 is also referred to as a locking ring.
  • Each locking arms 15, 20 includes receptacles 16, 17 which engage around the bearing pin 18 of the housing 1, 2.
  • the height difference between the receptacles 16, 17 of the locking arms 15, 20 and the plane of the circumferential web 12 is less than the height difference between the journals 18 and resting on the web 12 lower edge of the connector housing 1. Since the locking arms 15, 20 are formed of an elastic material (an elastomer), a tensile force is exerted in the axial direction of the bearing pin 18 and the lower edge of the connector housing 1 is pressed onto the web 12. As a result, an optimal sealing function is achieved at the same time with the locking device.
  • the locking arms 15, 20 are provided on the inside with an oblique edge 13. As a result, the locking arms are not directly on the connector housing 1 and mating connector housing 2 in the upper area. Thus, the locking arms 15, 20 manually again easily removed from the journals 18. During the locking process, the chamfered edge 13 ensures that the locking arms 15, 20 first slide over the housing edge and the bearing journals 18. Subsequently, the locking arms 15, 20 fold over the bearing pin 18, so that the bearing pin 18 in the associated receptacles 16, 17 are. Such a locking process requires only a small amount of force.
  • the locking device 9 can be provided with a suitable choice of material as recyclable disposable part. Thus, the sealing and locking effect remains at a renewed mating of the housing 1, 2 always at the same level.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of a locking device 9 'according to the invention.
  • Components with the same function are also provided with the reference numerals already used above.
  • the reference numerals are, however, provided with a "'".
  • the locking arms 15 'of the locking device 9' are fastened via rivets 4 on the connector housing 1. Instead of rivets but also a screw connection can be provided.
  • the locking arm 20 ' is integrally formed and includes two receptacles 17', which engage over the pins 18 of the mating connector housing 2.
  • the pins carry 18 on the long side or on the narrow side.
  • the locking arm 20 'on the narrow side of the main body 11' of the locking device 9 ' is mounted.
  • the pins on the longitudinal side of the connector housing 1 the locking arms 15 ', 20' at different locations (longitudinal side, narrow side) from the main body 11 'of the locking device 9' protrude. It is therefore possible with the locking device according to the invention 9 'housing 1, 2 lock together, the pins 18 are aligned differently. This was previously not possible with the known locking devices.
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a third embodiment of the locking device 9 ". Also in this embodiment, the locking arms 15" are preferably attached to the connector housing 1 via a rivet or screw connection.
  • the locking arms 20 are - as already described in the other embodiments - guided over the bearing pin 18 of the mating connector housing 2. This locks the housings 1, 2.
  • the locking arms 15", 20 can be attached to the main body 11". be attached the different types of housing with different journal position can be locked together.
  • This feature makes the locking devices 9, 9 ', 9 "according to the invention too flexible and universally applicable.
