Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug connection, comprising a plug connector and a mating plug connector that can be plugged together therewith, the plug connection furthermore having a locking element, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a plug connection which has a plug connector and a mating connector, the plug connector having the first and the mating connector having corresponding further latching means forming a latching geometry, by means of which a first latching (primary locking) takes place between the plug connector and the mating connector when the plug connection is assembled, and a locking element is provided, which is longitudinally displaceable between a Vorverrast ein and a Endverrastwolf here in the plugging direction, the locking element is designed such that it can only be moved from its Vorverrast ein into the Endverrast ein when the mating connector is completely in the connector (or vice versa).
  • latching means of the plug connector and the latching lug of the mating connector are made of plastic, there is a risk that the transverse web of the latching means of the plug connector can slide over the stop of the latching lug of the mating connector that is aligned parallel thereto.
  • the latching geometry of the connector lifts in an undesired and thus disadvantageous manner from the latching lug of the mating connector and, despite the presence of the locking element, the connector can loosen. With this one The loosening process is an undesirable process, as this can possibly have safety-critical effects.
  • WO 2013/092310 A1 discloses a plug connection according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving a generic plug connection with a locking element in such a way that the disadvantages described at the outset are avoided.
  • the locking element is intended to prevent the primary locking of the plug connection from being released.
  • the connector has locking means which act on the locking geometry of the connector via the locking element and which are designed as a locking lug.
  • These latching means then act on the latching geometry via the locking element when both the latching geometry of the primary lock and the locking element are each in their end position.
  • the end position of the locking element is the end locking position, that is, when the locking element has been moved from its pre-locking position into its end locking position after the connector and mating connector have been completely plugged together.
  • the end position of the latching geometry is reached when the corresponding latching means of the plug connector and the mating plug connector for forming the primary lock are also in their end position when the plug connection is completely plugged together.
  • the primary lock can withstand tensile loads of up to around 50 Newtons without additional measures being necessary. However, if these tensile stresses exceed the order of magnitude of about 50 to 60 Newtons, there is a risk that the primary lock between the connector and the mating connector will be released and the connector will be separated in an undesired manner.
  • the latching geometry by means of the latching means of the plug connector, which acts on the latching geometry via the locking element, tensile forces greater than 80 Newtons can be easily achieved without the primary locking being released.
  • the locking element ensures that the process of plugging the plug connector and mating connector can be carried out in a controlled manner, since the locking element cannot be moved without a complete plugging process.
  • the locking element of the primary lock acts on the latching means of the primary lock in such a way that the primary lock can no longer be released when the connector is subjected to tensile stresses.
  • FIG 1 shows, as far as shown in detail, an exemplary locking element 1 with which the advantages described above can be achieved.
  • the locking element 1 has a front area 2 with a first step 3 present there. Furthermore, it comprises a tab 4 and it has at least one, in Figure 1 two wings 5 running parallel to the locking element 1 or its tab 4.
  • FIG DE 103 41 136 A1 With regard to the functioning of the locking element 1 in a plug connection with a plug connector (also referred to as a coupling) and a mating plug connector (also referred to as a plug), reference is made to FIG DE 103 41 136 A1 (there [0009] to [0027] on pages 3/10 to 6/10 of the laid-open specification).
  • FIG Figure 2 A connector 10 and a mating connector 2 are shown schematically in FIG Figure 2 shown. It can be seen there that the locking element 1 is arranged on the plug connector 10. The locking element 1 is accommodated in a housing 11, which is part of the plug connector 10. There it can go from a pre-locking position (not shown) to a final locking position (in Figure 2 shown) with respect to the longitudinal axis of the connector 10 are brought.
  • Both the plug connector 10 and the mating plug connector 20 have, in a manner known per se, contact chambers in which corresponding contact partners are accommodated.
  • the contact partners of connector 10 and mating connector 20 correspond with regard to the plugging process on the mating face side of the two connectors 10, 20.
  • a cable outlet is provided (for example with the connector 10 in Figure 2 ), wherein the mating connector 20 can also have a cable outlet or can be part of a housing of an electrical device (such as a sensor, an actuator, a control device or the like).
  • FIG 3 it is shown that the locking element 1 has been pushed into the housing 11 of the connector 10.
  • the at least one wing 5 of the locking element 1 interacts with locking means of the plug connector 10, in particular with a locking lug 12.
  • the front area 2 of the locking element 1 interacts with a latching geometry 13 of the plug connector 10.
  • the locking geometry 13 of the connector 10 is designed so that the locking element 1 can only be moved into its final locking position when the primary locking between the connector 10 and the mating connector 20 has taken place.
  • latching geometry 13 must first have interacted with latching means, in particular a latching lug 12, of the mating connector 20 before the locking element 1, in particular can slide away by means of its first stage 3 over the latching means of the mating connector 20, in particular its latching lug 21. So when the locking element 1 according to its Endverrast ein Figure 3 has reached, the locking geometry 13 of the connector 10 interacts at least with the locking means, in particular the locking lug 21, of the mating connector 20. Furthermore, a further latching means, for example in the form of a further latching lug 14, which can also interact with the latching geometry 13, can, but does not have to be present. In this regard, reference is made to the text at the end of the description relating to the structure of the connector 10.
  • FIG 4 is along the section line IV according to Figure 3 the locking geometry 13 is shown.
  • This latching geometry 13 is part of the plug connector 10 and is configured, for example, as a transverse web 131 which is present in the front area of the latching geometry 13 and to which parallel longitudinal webs 132 connect.
  • the transverse web 131 slides at least over the locking lug 21 of the mating connector 20, wherein the locking lug 14 can be present, but can also be omitted.
  • the locking means in particular the locking lug 12 of the connector 10, via the locking element 1, in particular its at least one wing 5, on the locking geometry 13, in particular on the longitudinal web 132.
  • the front area of the locking geometry 13, in particular the transverse web 131, and also the longitudinal web 132 when viewing the Figure 5 can no longer be moved upwards if high tensile loads act on the connector and thus on the primary locking.
  • the entire locking geometry 13, in particular the transverse web 131 with the adjoining longitudinal webs 132 is advantageously fixed by the locking element 1 in its final locking position so that the primary lock can no longer be released when the connector is subjected to high tensile stress.
  • the plug connection can be released when the locking element 1 is brought from its final locking position back into its pre-locking position.
  • the at least one wing is removed from the area between the latching lug 12 and the latching geometry 13 (more precisely its longitudinal web 132) when viewing the Figure 5 moved out, so that a free space is created between the latching means of the plug connector 10 (that is to say the latching lug 12) and the latching geometry 13 (that is to say the longitudinal web 132).
  • the front area of the locking geometry 13 opposite side (end) of the Latching geometry 13 (when looking at the Figure 5 ) to press down, so that the front area, in particular the transverse web 131, is deflected upwards as a result of the free space and over the upper edge of the locking lug 21 (and possibly the locking lug 14) again when viewing the Figure 5 can be moved to the right.
  • a deliberate release of the plug connection is then possible when the locking element 1 has been brought from its final locking position into its pre-locking position and has been pressed onto the locking geometry 13, possibly also via the locking element 1, so that the primary lock is released via this process and the connector 10 can be separated from the mating connector 20.
  • the plug connector 10 is in one piece and forms both the housing 10 for the locking element 1 and contact chambers into which contact partners can be inserted in a manner known per se.
  • a plug connector 10 can be produced, for example, in a plastic injection molding process.
  • the connector 10 can also be designed in two parts. Such a two-part design has the advantage that a so-called zero-force plug connection can be implemented with it.
  • the two-part connector 10 is characterized in that it has a contact carrier, which in turn comprises contact chambers into which the contact partners are inserted. This contact carrier is then inserted in a connector housing, the contact carrier and connector housing being axially displaceable relative to one another.
  • the connector housing of the connector 10 is first inserted into its end position in the mating connector 20, while the contact carrier is not yet in its final position with respect to the mating connector 20.
  • the entire plug connection is not yet plugged together, so that the locking element 1 cannot yet be moved from its pre-locking position into its final locking position.
  • This is namely initially prevented by the locking lug 14, which is present in this embodiment. Only when the contact carrier has also been brought into its final position in relation to the mating connector 20 is it possible for the locking element 1 to be able to be brought from the pre-locked position into the final locked position.
  • the locking lug 14 blocks the further movement of the first stage 3 of the locking element 1, so that this cannot yet be brought into its final locking position. Only after both the primary locking of the connector housing of the two-part connector has latched and after the contact carrier of the two-part connector 10 has also been brought into its final position in relation to the mating connector 20, so that the entire connector is plugged together and thus functional, can the locking element 1 be brought from its Vorverrast ein to its Endverrast ein.
