- the annular groove on the two opposite sides extending in the circumferential direction waves, which force the retaining ring in the shape formed by the waves and deform during rotation of the retaining ring according to the waveform.
- the torque for rotating the housing part relative to the base part with rotational resistance is independent of temperature and the outgoing direction of the housing part in certain determined by the waves of the annular groove stages. Over the period of use, a small torque drop is ensured and it can be set a wide range of torque by varying the waves of the annular groove and the deformability of the retaining ring. So that the retaining ring does not move with the rotational movement of the housing part relative to the base part, the retaining ring is fixed against rotation either on the housing part or on the base part, for example by means of a ring gear in the circumferential direction.
- an angle connector for attachment to an aggregate housing known, with a connector housing and this partially cross-housing flange which is secured against rotation on the unit housing can be fastened.
- the connector housing is rotatably mounted on the housing flange and is rotatable to define the outgoing direction relative to the housing flange with rotational resistance.
- the connector housing is rotatably mounted on the housing flange via an elastic sleeve, wherein the sleeve is rotatably received in an end-side annular recess of the connector housing or the housing flange and rotatably engages the respectively associated housing flange or connector housing.
- the plug housing and the housing flange are connected to one another in a form-fitting manner in the axial and radial directions, at least in sections, and in the circumferential direction by means of the sleeve.
- the DE 295 09 249 U1 discloses an angle-shaped connector carrier, in particular for attachment to an aggregate housing, consisting of a fixed to the unit housing and rotatable fastened, generally tubular base member and this partially cross-over, connected thereto via form-fitting acting means angular support member for the inclusion of a plug contacts holding insulating body.
- the insulating body is fixed in the axial direction by means of a latching device within the carrier part, wherein the carrier part has a generally tubular cross-section and is provided in the region of its bending with a closable by a lid, a mounting opening forming cutout.
- the base part and the support member are in the region of their mutual overlap in the axial direction positively and circumferentially positively connected to each other such that the support member is adjustable in the circumferential direction, overcoming an adjustable resistance to the base part.
- the tubular base part is provided at its free end with a radially projecting collar and the support member at a distance from its free end with a radial collar, said two parts are in the assembled state under an adjustable contact force against each other.
- the base part before its connection with the carrier part, has, over a neck region corresponding to its covering length, a conically tapered shape towards its free end, the conicity of which corresponds to the amount of radial projection of its collar.
- the neck region of the base part is widened beyond its overlap length to form a cylindrical shape after nesting of base and support part, so that its radially projecting collar engages behind the collar formed in the support part.
- the production of frictional connection also takes place in the course of deformation of the base part by a mutual contact pressure between the base part and support part is generated in the overlap area.
- the present invention seeks to propose a possibility in which the number of parts of the angle connector and / or the cost of mounting the angle connector are reduced.
- the angle connector according to the invention has a base part which can be fastened immovably to a machine housing, an angled housing part fastened rotatably to the base part and an annular spring part arranged between the base part and the housing part.

It is stretched in the axial direction and so immovably fixed to the support portion of the engagement sleeve and rotatably connected via formed on the support portion fixing means connected thereto and thus rotatably disposed on the housing part.
- the spring sleeve can in principle be attached to the support portion of the engagement sleeve before or after the engagement sleeve of the housing part is inserted into the receiving sleeve of the base part. This is only dependent on how the diameter of the spring sleeve is designed to be radially variable relative to the inner diameter of the annular collar, which in the radially relaxed state necessarily functionally larger than the inner diameter of the annular collar.
- the spring sleeve is pressed radially inwardly by the conically tapered contact portion of the receiving sleeve and thus tensioned and relaxes after passing through the annular collar behind the collar independently. If this is not possible due to the selected geometries, the engagement sleeve can be inserted without the spring sleeve in the receiving sleeve and the spring sleeve in any case from the direction of the mounting flange of the base part on the be in the receiving portion of the receiving sleeve support portion of the engagement sleeve are pushed under radial expansion.

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Winkelsteckverbinder, insbesondere zum Anbau an ein Maschinengehäuse, mit einem an dem Maschinengehäuse unverrückbar befestigbaren Sockelteil, einem an dem Sockelteil drehbar befestigten abgewinkelten Gehäuseteil und einem zwischen dem Sockelteil und dem Gehäuseteil angeordneten ringförmigen Federteil, wobei das Gehäuseteil gegenüber dem Sockelteil mit Drehwiderstand verdrehbar ist, wobei das Sockelteil einen Befestigungsflansch und eine mit diesem einteilig ausgebildete zylindrische Aufnahmehülse für das Gehäuseteil und das Gehäuseteil eine zugeordnete runde Eingriffshülse aufweist, die in die Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils eingreift, und wobei in der Aufnahmehülse mit mindestens einem Rastmittel der Eingriffshülse und/oder des Federteils zusammenwirkende Gegenrastmittel angeordnet sind, die in einer beliebigen gegenseitigen Eingriffslage mittels einer axial gerichteten Federlast des Federteils in Anlage aneinander gehalten sind, so dass das Gehäuseteil an dem Sockelteil in einer wählbaren Ausrichtung des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil drehsicher festlegbar ist.The invention relates to an angle connector, in particular for attachment to a machine housing, with an immovably fastened to the machine housing base part, a rotatably mounted on the base part attached angled housing part and disposed between the base part and the housing part annular spring part, wherein the housing part relative to the base part with rotational resistance is rotatable, wherein the base part has a mounting flange and a cylindrical receiving sleeve for the housing part and the housing part integrally formed therewith an associated round engagement sleeve which engages in the receiving sleeve of the base part, and wherein in the receiving sleeve with at least one locking means of the engagement sleeve and / or the spring part cooperating counter-locking means are arranged, which are held in any mutual engagement position by means of an axially directed spring load of the spring member in abutment against each other, so that the Housing part on the base part in a selectable orientation of the housing part relative to the base part is secured against rotation.
Derartige Winkelsteckverbinder werden beispielsweise zum Anschluss von Motoren eingesetzt. Dabei sollen die Winkelsteckverbinder leicht montierbar und in ihrer Abgangsrichtung einstellbar sein, wobei eine einmal eingestellte Abgangsrichtung sich unter der Einwirkung von Vibrationen, wie sie bei angetriebenen maschinellen Einrichtungen meist unvermeidlich sind, nicht unbeabsichtigt und selbstständig verändern kann. Somit darf die Einstellung der Abgangsrichtung nicht ohne Einwirkung eines gewissen Drehmomentes möglich sein, damit das Gehäuseteil, das die Abgangsrichtung des Winkelsteckverbinders bestimmt, nach dem Einstellen in seiner Lage gegenüber dem Sockelteil verbleibt.Such angle connectors are used for example for connecting motors. In this case, the angle connectors are easy to install and be adjustable in their outgoing direction, with a once set outgoing direction Under the influence of vibrations, as they are usually unavoidable in powered machinery, can not unintentionally and independently change. Thus, the adjustment of the outgoing direction must not be possible without the action of a certain torque, so that the housing part, which determines the outgoing direction of the angle plug connector, remains after adjustment in its position relative to the base part.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Möglichkeit vorzuschlagen, bei der die Anzahl der Teile des Winkelsteckverbinders und/oder der Aufwand für die Montage des Winkelsteckverbinders reduziert sind.Based on this, the present invention seeks to propose a possibility in which the number of parts of the angle connector and / or the cost of mounting the angle connector are reduced.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Winkelsteckverbinder mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.This object is achieved by an angle connector with the features of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.
Der erfindungsgemäße Winkelsteckverbinder weist entsprechend dem Stand der Technik ein an einem Maschinengehäuse unverrückbar befestigbares Sockelteil, ein an dem Sockelteil verdrehbar befestigtes abgewinkeltes Gehäuseteil und ein zwischen dem Sockelteil und dem Gehäuseteil angeordnetes ringförmiges Federteil auf. Das Sockelteil umfasst eine Befestigungsflansch zur Befestigung an dem Maschinengehäuse und eine mit diesem einteilig ausgebildete zylindrische Aufnahmehülse für eine an dem Gehäuseteil angeordnete zugeordnete Eingriffshülse, die in die Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils eingreift, wobei sich das Federteil zwischen der runden Eingriffshülse des Gehäuseteils und der zylindrischen Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils erstreckt. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Eingriffshülse an ihrem freien Ende einen zylindrischen Trageabschnitt für das Federteil und daran anschließend außen einen sich konisch erweiternden Führungsabschnitt für die Aufnahmehülse aufweist, und dass die Aufnahmehülse an ihrem freien Ende einen sich konisch verjüngenden Anlageabschnitt für den Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse und darauf folgend einen Aufnahmeabschnitt für den Trageabschnitt mit dem Federteil aufweist, wobei zwischen dem Aufnahmeabschnitt und dem Anlageabschnitt innen ein erhabener Ringbund ausgebildet ist, an dem sich das Federteil auf der zum Befestigungsflansch weisenden Stirnseite in axialer Richtung mit einer seiner Stirnseiten abstützt.According to the prior art, the angle connector according to the invention has a base part which can be fastened immovably to a machine housing, an angled housing part fastened rotatably to the base part and an annular spring part arranged between the base part and the housing part. The base part comprises a mounting flange for attachment to the machine housing and a cylindrical receiving sleeve formed integrally therewith for an arranged on the housing part associated engagement sleeve which engages in the receiving sleeve of the base part, wherein the spring member between the round engagement sleeve of the housing part and the cylindrical receiving sleeve of Base part extends. According to the invention, the engagement sleeve has at its free end a cylindrical support portion for the spring part and then externally a conically widening guide portion for the receiving sleeve, and that the receiving sleeve at its free end a conically tapered contact portion for the guide portion of the engagement sleeve and following a receiving portion for the support portion having the spring member, wherein between the receiving portion and the abutment portion inside a raised collar is formed, on which the spring member is supported on the mounting flange facing front side in the axial direction with one of its end faces.
Der Erfindung liegt damit der Kerngedanke zugrunde, das Federteil gleichzeitig zum axialen Festlegen des Gehäuseteils an dem Sockelteil und zur Bestimmung des Drehwiderstandes des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil zu verwenden. Es ist selbstverständlich, dass neben der Geometrie und Elastizität, die die Verformbarkeit des zwischen der Eingriffshülse und der Aufnahmehülse angeordneten Federteils bestimmen, auch die Geometrie der Gegenrastmittel der Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils sowie die der Rastmittel der Eingriffshülse des Gehäuseteils den Drehwiderstand für die drehsichere Festlegung des Gehäuseteils an dem Sockelteil mit Drehwiderstand bestimmen. Die Rastmittel bzw. Gegenrastmittel sind an einander zugeordneten Flächen des Sockelteils, des Gehäuseteils oder des Federteils, die vorzugsweise durch das Federteil in Anlage aneinander gehalten werden, angeordnet und können prinzipiell in einer beliebig geeigneten Geometrie ausgebildet sein. Die Rast- bzw. Gegenrastmittel sind vorzugsweise als Vorsprünge und/oder Vertiefungen mit ebenen, gewinkelten und/oder gekrümmten Konturen bzw. Berührungsflächen ausgeführt.The invention is therefore based on the core idea of using the spring part at the same time for axially fixing the housing part to the base part and for determining the rotational resistance of the housing part relative to the base part. It goes without saying that in addition to the geometry and elasticity, which determine the deformability of the arranged between the engaging sleeve and the receiving sleeve spring member, the geometry of the counter-locking means of the receiving sleeve of the base part and the locking means of the engagement sleeve of the housing part the rotational resistance for the rotationally secure fixing of the housing part on the base part with rotational resistance. The locking means or counter-locking means are arranged on mutually associated surfaces of the base part, the housing part or the spring part, which are preferably held by the spring member in abutment against each other, and can in principle in any be formed suitable geometry. The latching or counter-latching means are preferably designed as projections and / or depressions with planar, angled and / or curved contours or contact surfaces.
Der Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse und der Anlageabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse sind in der Neigung identisch ausgebildet, so dass eine Innenumfangsfläche des Anlageabschnittes der Aufnahmehülse und eine Außenumfangsfläche des Führungsabschnittes der Eingriffshülse flächig miteinander in Berührung sind. Sie werden insbesondere durch die axial gerichtete Federkraft des Federteils gegeneinander gepresst. Der zylindrische Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse für das Federteil weist zu dem Aufnahmeabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse einen definierten Abstand auf, der sowohl in axialer wie auch in radialer Richtung genügend Raum für die Aufnahme des Federteils bietet. Durch eine radiale und/oder axiale Verformung des Federteils kann dieses auf einfache Weise an dem Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse, diesen übergreifend angeordnet und an diesem insbesondere drehfest fixiert werden. Die drehfeste Fixierung des Federteils kann dabei mit allen dem Fachmann geläufigen Mitteln und Verfahren erfolgen. Die Rast- bzw. Gegenrastmittel für das mit Drehwiderstand gegenüber dem Sockelteil drehsicher festlegbare Gehäuseteil können im Bereich des Führungs- und/oder Trageabschnittes der Eingriffshülse und/oder des Anlage- und/oder Aufnahmeabschnittes bzw. an dem Ringbund der Aufnahmehülse und/oder an dem Federteil des Winkelsteckverbinders angeordnet sein.The guide portion of the engagement sleeve and the abutment portion of the receiving sleeve are formed in the same inclination, so that an inner peripheral surface of the abutment portion of the receiving sleeve and an outer peripheral surface of the guide portion of the engaging sleeve are in contact with each other. They are pressed in particular by the axially directed spring force of the spring member against each other. The cylindrical support portion of the engagement sleeve for the spring member has a defined distance to the receiving portion of the receiving sleeve, which provides sufficient space for receiving the spring member both in the axial and in the radial direction. By a radial and / or axial deformation of the spring member this can be easily arranged on the support portion of the engagement sleeve, this cross-over and fixed to this in particular rotationally fixed. The non-rotatable fixation of the spring part can be done with all known to the expert agents and methods. The latching or counter-latching means for the rotation with respect to the base part rotatably fixable housing part can in the region of the guide and / or support portion of the engagement sleeve and / or the contact and / or receiving portion or on the annular collar of the receiving sleeve and / or on the Be arranged spring part of the angle plug connector.
Bei einer Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Winkelsteckverbinders grenzt der Ringbund der Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils direkt an den Anlageabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse mit oder ohne Stufe an. Vorzugsweise schließt der Ringbund stufenlos an den Anlageabschnitt an. Dabei entspricht der kleinste Durchmesser des konischen Anlageabschnittes dem Innendurchmesser des Ringbundes, wobei der Ringbund dann nur eine Stirnseite aufweist, die zu dem Befestigungsflansch hin gerichtet ist. Damit ist eine Stufe zu dem Aufnahmeabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse gebildet, da der Aufnahmeabschnitt gegenüber dem Ringbund einen größeren Innendurchmesser besitzt. Die Aufnahmehülse weist somit von ihrem freien Ende gesehen einen Hinterschnitt auf, an dem sich das von dem Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse getragene Federteil insbesondere unter axialer Vorspannung abstützen kann. Dabei zieht es den konischen Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse gegen den konischen Anlageabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse, wobei eine kraftschlüssige, reibschlüssige und/oder formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen diesen hergestellt wird.In one embodiment of the angle plug connector according to the invention, the annular collar of the receiving sleeve of the base part directly adjoins the contact section of the receiving sleeve with or without step. Preferably, the annular collar connects steplessly to the contact section. In this case, the smallest diameter of the conical contact section corresponds to the inner diameter of the annular collar, wherein the annular collar then has only one end face, which is directed towards the mounting flange. Thus, a step is formed to the receiving portion of the receiving sleeve, since the receiving portion relative to the annular collar has a larger inner diameter. The receiving sleeve has thus seen from its free end on an undercut, on which the supported by the support portion of the engagement sleeve spring member can be supported in particular under axial bias. In this case, it draws the conical guide portion of the engagement sleeve against the conical abutment portion of the receiving sleeve, wherein a frictional, frictional and / or positive connection between them is produced.
Vorzugsweise ist das Federteil als kronenartige, den Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse umgreifende Federhülse ausgebildet, wobei die Federhülse an einem an einem dem Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse fernen Ende des Trageabschnittes angeordneten umlaufenden Stützbund in axialer Richtung in Anlage ist. Die Federhülse erstreckt sich von dem Stützbund der Eingriffshülse bis zu dem Ringbund der Aufnahmehülse, an dem sie an der zu dem Befestigungsflansch weisenden Stirnseite ebenfalls in Anlage ist. Sie ist dabei in axialer Richtung gespannt und so unverrückbar an dem Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse festgelegt und über an dem Trageabschnitt ausgebildete Fixiermittel drehfest mit diesem verbunden und somit drehfest an dem Gehäuseteil angeordnet.Preferably, the spring part is formed as a crown-like, the support portion of the engaging sleeve embracing spring sleeve, wherein the spring sleeve is arranged on a at the guide portion of the engagement sleeve distal end of the support portion arranged circumferential support collar in the axial direction in abutment. The spring sleeve extends from the support collar of the engagement sleeve up to the annular collar of the receiving sleeve, to which it is also in abutment on the facing to the mounting flange end face. It is stretched in the axial direction and so immovably fixed to the support portion of the engagement sleeve and rotatably connected via formed on the support portion fixing means connected thereto and thus rotatably disposed on the housing part.
Dabei kann die Federhülse prinzipiell an dem Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse befestigt werden, bevor oder nachdem die Eingriffshülse des Gehäuseteils in die Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils eingeführt ist. Dies ist nur abhängig davon, wie der Durchmesser der Federhülse radial gegenüber dem Innendurchmesser des Ringbundes veränderbar ausgebildet ist, der im radial entspannten Zustand notwendiger Weise funktionsbedingt größer ist als der Innendurchmesser des Ringbundes. Bei geeigneter Ausbildung des Trageabschnittes der Eingriffshülse und des Innendurchmessers des Ringbundes der Aufnahmehülse wird die Federhülse durch den sich konisch verjüngenden Anlageabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse radial nach innen gedrückt und damit gespannt und entspannt sich nach dem Durchtritt durch den Ringbund hinter dem Ringbund selbstständig. Ist dies aufgrund der gewählten Geometrien nicht möglich, so kann die Eingriffshülse ohne die Federhülse in die Aufnahmehülse eingeführt werden und die Federhülse auf jeden Fall aus Richtung des Befestigungsflansches des Sockelteiles auf den in dem Aufnahmeabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse befindlichen Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse unter radialer Aufweitung aufgeschoben werden. Der an dem dem Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse fernen Ende des Trageabschnittes angeordnete umlaufende Stützbund fixiert die Federhülse, nachdem diese wider entspannt ist, in axialer Richtung an dem Trageabschnitt.In this case, the spring sleeve can in principle be attached to the support portion of the engagement sleeve before or after the engagement sleeve of the housing part is inserted into the receiving sleeve of the base part. This is only dependent on how the diameter of the spring sleeve is designed to be radially variable relative to the inner diameter of the annular collar, which in the radially relaxed state necessarily functionally larger than the inner diameter of the annular collar. With a suitable design of the support portion of the engagement sleeve and the inner diameter of the annular collar of the receiving sleeve, the spring sleeve is pressed radially inwardly by the conically tapered contact portion of the receiving sleeve and thus tensioned and relaxes after passing through the annular collar behind the collar independently. If this is not possible due to the selected geometries, the engagement sleeve can be inserted without the spring sleeve in the receiving sleeve and the spring sleeve in any case from the direction of the mounting flange of the base part on the be in the receiving portion of the receiving sleeve support portion of the engagement sleeve are pushed under radial expansion. The at the guide portion of the engagement sleeve distal end of the support portion arranged circumferential support collar fixes the spring sleeve, after this is relaxed against, in the axial direction of the support portion.
Die Federhülse ist sowohl in axialer wie auch in radialer Richtung federnd ausgebildet. Für die axiale Nachgiebigkeit weist die Federhülse an einem dem Ringbund der Aufnahmehülse zugeordneten ersten Längenabschnitt mindestens zwei in Umfangsrichtung verlaufende hintereinander angeordnete Querschlitze auf. Die Querschlitze bestimmen in Umfangsrichtung der Federhülse sich erstreckende Federstege, die in axialer Richtung nachgiebig sind. Die elastische Verformbarkeit der Federstege ist abhängig von ihrer Dicke, Breite und Länge sowie von den Federeigenschaften des für die Federhülse verwendeten Materials. Bei diesem kann es sich um ein geeignetes Metall oder einen geeigneten Kunststoff handeln. Die Federstege können einseitig oder beidseitig mit der Federhülse verbunden sein. Einseitig verbundene Federstege können ausgebildet werden, indem die Querschlitze in der Federhülse zumindest an einer Stelle in axialer Richtung offen ausgebildet sind. Die Federstege sind in Richtung des Ringbundes vorzugsweise gewölbt ausgebildet, so dass die Federstege zwischen ihren Anbindungsstellen an den ersten Längenabschnitt der Federhülse durch die ebene zu dem Befestigungsflansch weisende Stirnseite des Ringbundes in axialer Richtung der Federhülse elastisch druckverformbar sind.The spring sleeve is resilient in both the axial and in the radial direction. For the axial compliance, the spring sleeve has at least two circumferentially extending transverse slots arranged on a first longitudinal section assigned to the annular collar of the receiving sleeve. The transverse slots determine in the circumferential direction of the spring sleeve extending spring webs, which are yielding in the axial direction. The elastic deformability of the spring bars is dependent on their thickness, width and length and on the spring properties of the material used for the spring sleeve. This may be a suitable metal or a suitable plastic. The spring bars may be connected on one side or on both sides with the spring sleeve. One-sided connected spring webs can be formed by the transverse slots are formed open in the spring sleeve at least at one point in the axial direction. The spring webs are preferably curved in the direction of the annular collar, so that the spring bars between their attachment points to the first longitudinal portion of the spring sleeve by the flat to the mounting flange facing end side of the annular collar in the axial direction of the spring sleeve are elastically pressure deformable.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist die Federhülse an einem zu dem Befestigungsflansch des Sockelteils weisenden zweiten Längenabschnitt den Fixiermitteln des Trageabschnittes der Eingriffshülse zugeordnete randseitig geschlossen oder offen ausgebildete Fixierausnehmungen auf. Die Fixierausnehmungen der Federhülse sind komplementär zu den Fixiermitteln des Trageabschnittes der Eingriffshülse ausgebildet und ermöglichen somit in Umfangsrichtung eine lagegenaue Ausrichtung und Fixierung der Federhülse an dem Trageabschnitt, so dass die Federhülse drehfest mit dem Gehäuseteil verbunden ist. Dazu sind die Fixiermittel des Trageabschnittes vorzugsweise als an die Fixierausnehmungen der Federhülse angepasste Fixiervorsprünge ausgebildet. Die Fixiervorsprünge des Trageabschnittes greifen in die Fixierausnehmungen der Federhülse formschlüssig ein, sodass die Federhülse in Umfangsrichtung der Eingriffshülse unverrückbar an dem Gehäuseteil angeordnet und bei Drehung des Gehäuseteiles von und mit dem Gehäuseteil mitbewegt wird.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the spring sleeve on a pointing to the mounting flange of the base part second longitudinal portion of the fixing means of the support portion of the engagement sleeve associated peripherally closed or open trained Fixierausnehmungen. The Fixierausnehmungen the spring sleeve are complementary to the fixing means of the support portion of the engagement sleeve formed and thus allow in the circumferential direction a positionally accurate alignment and fixation of the spring sleeve on the support portion, so that the spring sleeve rotatably with the housing part connected is. For this purpose, the fixing means of the support section are preferably designed as fixing projections adapted to the fixing recesses of the spring sleeve. The fixing protrusions of the support section engage positively in the fixing recesses of the spring sleeve, so that the spring sleeve is immovably arranged in the circumferential direction of the engagement sleeve on the housing part and is moved with rotation of the housing part of and with the housing part.
Bevorzugt wird eine Ausführungsform des Winkelsteckverbinders, bei der die Federhülse einen sich über die gesamte Länge erstreckenden Axialschlitz aufweist. Der Axialschlitz ermöglicht eine problemlose Veränderung des Durchmessers der Federhülse zum radialen Zusammendrücken oder Aufweiten der Federhülse. Dies vereinfacht zum einen die Montage der Federhülse an dem Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse und ermöglicht zum anderen auch, dass der Trageabschnitt der Eingriffshülse mit montierter Federhülse mit dem Sockelteil zusammengeführt werden kann.Preferred is an embodiment of the angle plug connector, wherein the spring sleeve has an axial slot extending over the entire length. The axial slot allows easy change of the diameter of the spring sleeve for radially compressing or expanding the spring sleeve. This simplifies on the one hand the mounting of the spring sleeve on the support portion of the engagement sleeve and on the other hand also allows the support portion of the engagement sleeve with mounted spring sleeve can be merged with the base part.
Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist die Federhülse Anschlagsnasen für die Federstege auf, die an der den Federstegen abgewandten Längsseite der Querschlitze der Federhülse angeformt sind. Die Anschlagsnasen für die Federstege verhindern zuverlässig, dass die Federstege übermäßig ausgelenkt und damit plastisch verformt werden. Vor einer kritischen Auslenkung stützen sich die Federstege axial in Richtung des Befestigungsflansches an den Anschlagsnasen ab.In another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the spring sleeve stop lugs for the spring bars, which are formed on the longitudinal side remote from the spring bars of the transverse slots of the spring sleeve. The stop lugs for the spring bars reliably prevent the spring bars are excessively deflected and thus plastically deformed. Before a critical deflection, the spring webs are supported axially in the direction of the mounting flange on the stop lugs.
Bei einer weiteren zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Winkelsteckverbinders weisen die Federstege der Federhülse an ihren dem Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse zugewandten Längsseiten angeformte Abstütznasen für die Federhülse an dem Ringbund auf. Damit ist die Federhülse an dem Ringbund der Aufnahmehülse nur stellenweise mit den Abstütznasen in Anlage. Dies vereinfacht die Verformung der Federstege in Richtung der den Federstegen abgewandten Längsseiten der Querschlitze und erhöht den Anlagedruck der Federhülse an den Ringbund. Die Abstütznasen unterstützen oder ersetzen die zu dem Ringbund gerichtete Wölbung der Federstege, so dass die Federstege zwischen ihren Anbindungsstellen an den ersten Längenabschnitt der Federhülse durch die zu dem Befestigungsflansch weisende Stirnseite des Ringbundes in axialer Richtung der Federhülse besonders einfach elastisch druckverformbar sind.In a further expedient embodiment of the angle connector according to the invention, the spring webs of the spring sleeve on its the guide portion of the engagement sleeve facing longitudinal sides integrally formed Abstütznasen for the spring sleeve on the annular collar. Thus, the spring sleeve on the annular collar of the receiving sleeve only in places with the supporting lugs in abutment. This simplifies the deformation of the spring webs in the direction of the spring webs remote from the longitudinal sides of the transverse slots and increases the system pressure of the spring sleeve to the annular collar. Support the support tabs or replace the directed to the collar camber of the spring bars, so that the spring bars between their attachment points to the first longitudinal portion of the spring sleeve by the pointing to the mounting flange end face of the annular collar in the axial direction of the spring sleeve are particularly easy elastically pressure deformable.
Vorzugsweise verbindet das Federteil bzw. die Federhülse das Gehäuseteil mit dem Sockelteil in axialer Richtung unlösbar drehbar miteinander, wobei der Drehwiderstand zum Verdrehen des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil durch die vorgesehenen Rastmittel und das Federteil bzw. die Federhülse bestimmt ist. Somit kann sich das Gehäuseteil nicht versehentlich von dem Sockelteil lösen, so dass im Betrieb für Personen gefährliche Situationen vermieden werden, die ansonsten durch die mögliche Zugänglichkeit zu spannungsführenden Teilen auftreten können. Außerdem ist damit auch eine falsche Montage bei der Installation durch Fachpersonal ausgeschlossen, die später zu gefährlichen Situationen oder zur Beschädigung des Winkelsteckverbinders führen können.Preferably, the spring member or the spring sleeve connects the housing part with the base part in the axial direction inextricably rotatable with each other, wherein the rotational resistance for rotating the housing part relative to the base part by the provided latching means and the spring member or the spring sleeve is determined. Thus, the housing part can not be accidentally detached from the base part, so that dangerous situations are avoided in the operation for people that can otherwise occur due to the possible accessibility to live parts. In addition, this also prevents incorrect installation during installation by qualified personnel, which can later lead to dangerous situations or damage to the angle connector.
Bei einer Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Winkelsteckverbinders sind die Gegenrastmittel an der geneigten Innenumfangsfläche des sich konisch verjüngenden Anlageabschnittes der Aufnahmehülse und das mindestens eine Rastmittel an der entsprechend geneigten Außenumfangsfläche des sich konisch erweiternden Führungsabschnittes der Eingriffshülse ausgebildet und erstrecken sich axial und/oder radial. Dabei sind die Rast- und die Gegenrastmittel komplementär zueinander ausgebildet und greifen in einer beliebigen gegenseitigen Eingriffslage bedingt durch die axial gerichtete, von der Federhülse ausgehenden Federlast bereichsweise formschlüssig ineinander ein. Damit ist das Gehäuseteil in einer wählbaren Ausrichtung des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil begrenzt drehsicher festgelegt. Es ist bei Überwindung des Drehwiderstandes dennoch gegenüber dem Sockelteil verdrehbar. Die Rastmittel an dem Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse des Gehäuseteils und die Gegenrastmittel an dem Anlageabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils können außer Eingriff gebracht werden, indem das Gehäuseteil mit einer in Umfangsrichtung der Eingriffshülse bzw. Aufnahmehülse wirkenden gegenüber dem Drehwiderstand größeren Drehkraft beaufschlagt wird. Alternativ kann auf das Gehäuseteil auch zuerst eine in axiale Richtung weg von der Aufnahmehülse gerichtete Zugkraft ausgeübt und dann erst das Gehäuseteil mit einer geringeren Drehkraft beaufschlagt werden, um die Abgangsrichtung des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil zu verändern.In one embodiment of the angle connector according to the invention the counter-locking means are formed on the inclined inner peripheral surface of the conically tapered contact portion of the receiving sleeve and the at least one locking means on the corresponding inclined outer peripheral surface of the conically widening guide portion of the engagement sleeve and extend axially and / or radially. In this case, the latching and the counter-locking means are complementary to each other and engage in any mutual engagement position due to the axially directed, emanating from the spring sleeve spring load in regions form-fitting manner one another. Thus, the housing part in a selectable orientation of the housing part relative to the base part limited rotation is determined. It is still possible to overcome the rotational resistance against the base part rotatable. The locking means on the guide portion of the engagement sleeve of the housing part and the counter-locking means on the contact portion of the receiving sleeve of the base part can be disengaged be acted by the housing part with a force acting in the circumferential direction of the engagement sleeve or receiving sleeve relative to the rotational resistance greater rotational force. Alternatively, a tensile force directed away from the receiving sleeve in the axial direction may first be exerted on the housing part and only then a smaller rotational force may be applied to the housing part in order to change the outgoing direction of the housing part relative to the base part.
Der Drehwiderstand des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil ist, wie bereits vorstehend erwähnt, zum einen abhängig von der Federlast der Federhülse und zum anderen von der Form und der Anzahl der vorgesehenen Rast- und Gegenrastmittel, die in der Eingriffslage zur drehsicheren Festlegung des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil ineinandergreifen. Prinzipiell kann dabei die Anzahl der Rast- und Gegenrastmittel gleich oder unterschiedlich ausgeführt sein. Vorzugsweise entspricht bei der Ausführungsform, bei der die Rastmittel an der konischen Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse und die Gegenrastmittel an dem konischen Anlageabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse ausgebildet sind, die Anzahl der Rastmittel bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Winkelsteckverbinder der Anzahl der Gegenrastmittel. Dadurch verteilt sich die Federlast der Federhülse gleichmäßig auf alle Rast- und Gegenrastmittel und ebenfalls die zum Verstellen der Abgangsrichtung des Gehäuseteils im Hinblick auf das Sockelteil aufgewendete Drehkraft, wodurch ein vorzeitiger Verschleiß bei häufiger oder unsachgemäßer Änderung der Abgangsrichtung des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil vorgebeugt wird.The rotational resistance of the housing part relative to the base part is, as already mentioned, on the one hand depending on the spring load of the spring sleeve and on the other by the shape and the number of provided latching and counter-locking means, in the engaged position for rotationally secure fixing of the housing part relative to the base part mesh. In principle, the number of latching and counter-latching means can be identical or different. Preferably corresponds in the embodiment in which the locking means on the conical guide portion of the engagement sleeve and the counter-locking means are formed on the conical contact portion of the receiving sleeve, the number of locking means in the inventive angle connector of the number of counter-locking means. As a result, the spring load of the spring sleeve distributed evenly on all locking and counter-locking means and also for adjusting the outgoing direction of the housing part with respect to the base part expended torque, whereby premature wear is prevented in frequent or improper change in the outgoing direction of the housing part relative to the base part.
Bei einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Winkelsteckverbinders sind die Gegenrastmittel an einer zu dem Befestigungsflansch des Sockelteils weisenden Stirnseite des Ringbundes der Aufnahmehülse ausgebildet und das mindestens eine Rastmittel an der zu dem Ringbund weisenden Stirnseite des Federteils bzw. der Federhülse angeordnet, wobei sich die Rast- und die Gegenrastmittel axial und/oder radial erstrecken. Dabei stützt sich die Federhülse mit den Rastmitteln an dem Ringbund der Aufnahmehülse stirnseitig ab. Damit ist das Gehäuseteil in einer wählbaren Ausrichtung des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil auch in dieser Ausführungsform begrenzt drehsicher festgelegt. Es ist bei Überwindung des Drehwiderstandes gegenüber dem Sockelteil verdrehbar. Die Rastmittel an der an der Eingriffshülse des Gehäuseteils drehfest angeordneten Federhülse und die Gegenrastmittel an dem Ringbund der Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils können einander gegenüber seitlich verschoben werden, indem das Gehäuseteil mit einer in Umfangsrichtung der Eingriffshülse bzw. Aufnahmehülse wirkenden gegenüber dem Drehwiderstand größeren Drehkraft beaufschlagt wird. Dabei bleiben der konische Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse des Gehäuseteils und der zugeordnete konische Anlageabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils in Anlage aneinander. Es wird lediglich der Federarm der Federhülse bewegt.In another preferred embodiment of the angle plug connector according to the invention, the counter-latching means are formed on a facing to the mounting flange of the base part end face of the annular collar of the receiving sleeve and arranged the at least one latching means on the facing to the collar front side of the spring member or the spring sleeve, wherein the latching and the counter-latching means extend axially and / or radially. In this case, the spring sleeve is supported by the locking means on the annular collar of the receiving sleeve from the front side. Thus, the housing part in a selectable orientation of the housing part relative to the base part in this embodiment defined limited rotation. It is rotatable in overcoming the rotational resistance relative to the base part. The latching means on the spring sleeve on the engaging sleeve of the housing part rotatably disposed and the counter-locking means on the annular collar of the receiving sleeve of the base part can be laterally displaced from each other by the housing part is acted upon by a circumferential force in the circumferential direction of the engaging sleeve or receiving sleeve against the rotational resistance greater rotational force. In this case, the conical guide portion of the engagement sleeve of the housing part and the associated conical contact portion of the receiving sleeve of the base part remain in abutment against each other. Only the spring arm of the spring sleeve is moved.
Die Anzahl der Rastmittel sowie die Anzahl der Gegenrastmittel kann auch bei dieser Ausführungsform der Erfindung beliebig gewählt werden. Vorzugsweise sind dabei ein oder mehrere Rastmittel an zumindest einem, vorzugsweise an allen Federarmen der Federhülse stirnseitig angeordnet. Diese sind insbesondere an Stellen der Federarme angeordnet, die einen besonders großen Federweg besitzen. Damit erstrecken sich die Rastmittel der Federhülse nur über einen geringen Bereich der Stirnseite der Federhülse. Zweckmäßigerweise werden die Abstütznasen der Federhülse als Rastmittel verwendet, die mit den Gegenrastmitteln des Ringbundes zusammenwirken.The number of locking means and the number of counter-locking means can also be chosen arbitrarily in this embodiment of the invention. One or more latching means are preferably arranged on the front side on at least one, preferably on all spring arms of the spring sleeve. These are arranged in particular at locations of the spring arms, which have a particularly large spring travel. Thus, the locking means of the spring sleeve extend only over a small area of the end face of the spring sleeve. Conveniently, the Abstütznasen the spring sleeve are used as locking means which cooperate with the counter-locking means of the annular collar.
Alle Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Winkelsteckverbinders weisen gegenüber dem Stand der Technik eine geringere Anzahl von Einzelteilen auf und damit verbunden geringere Stückkosten. Zudem ist der Drehwiderstand des Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem Sockelteil in weiten Grenzen beliebig einstellbar, wobei eine Flächenpassung zwischen dem konischen Führungsabschnitt der Eingriffshülse des Gehäuseteils und dem zugeordnete konischen Anlageabschnitt der Aufnahmehülse des Sockelteils erreicht wird. Diese verhindert einen frühzeitigen Verschleiß der Rast- bzw. Gegenrastmittel bei häufiger und/oder unsachgemäßer Verstellung der Abgangsrichtung des Gehäuseteils im Hinblick auf das Sockelteil.All embodiments of the angle connector according to the invention have compared to the prior art, a smaller number of items and associated lower unit costs. In addition, the rotational resistance of the housing part relative to the base part is arbitrarily adjustable within wide limits, with a surface fit between the conical guide portion of the engagement sleeve of the housing part and the associated conical contact portion of the receiving sleeve of the base part is achieved. This prevents premature wear of the latching or counter-latching means in case of frequent and / or improper use Adjustment of the outlet direction of the housing part with respect to the base part.
