Description

Adapter  adapter
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Adapter mit einer ersten elektrischen Schnittstelle und einer zweiten elektrischen Schnittstelle, die jeweils Kontaktelemente zur Datenübertragung sowie zur Übertragung einer elektrischen Versorgungsspannung aufweisen, wobei die Kontaktelemente der ersten Schnittstelle mit den entsprechenden Kontaktelementen der zweiten Schnittstelle über Leiter verbunden sind. Insbesondere betrifft die Erfindung einen Adapter zur Umverdrahtung von einer USB- zu einer HSD-Schnittstelle. The invention relates to an adapter having a first electrical interface and a second electrical interface, each having contact elements for data transmission and for transmitting an electrical supply voltage, wherein the contact elements of the first interface are connected to the corresponding contact elements of the second interface via conductors. In particular, the invention relates to an adapter for rewiring from a USB to an HSD interface.
Steckverbinder mit USB-Schnittstelle sind durch eine rechteckige Schnittstellengeometrie sowie durch die Anordnung von entweder zwei oder allen vier der Kontaktelemente nebeneinander in einer Ebene gekennzeichnet. Im Gegensatz dazu sind die insgesamt vier inneren Kontaktelemente von Steckverbindern mit HSD-Schnittstelle in einer quadratischen Anordnung positioniert und die Schnittstellengeometrie ist rund. Bei einer USB-Schnittstelle sind zwei der vier Kontaktelemente zur Übertragung von Datensignalen vorgesehen, während über die zwei weiteren Kontaktelemente elektrische Versorgungsenergie übertragen wird. Bei HSD-Schnittstellen dienen die vier inneren Kontaktelemente regelmäßig einer doppelten differentiellen Signalübertragung, wobei die zwei Kontaktelemente der beiden Übertragungspaare sich in der quadratischen Anordnung jeweils gegenüberliegen. Diese Anordnung in Verbindung mit einer die Kontaktelemente umgebenden Schirmung gewährleistet eine hochbitratige Übertragungsfähigkeit mit guter elektromagnetischer Schirmung und guter Übersprechdämpfung. HSD- Steckverbinder werden regelmäßig mit geschirmten Kabeln verbunden, bei denen vier Adern in einer Sternvierer-Anordnung vorgesehen sind, die zudem miteinander verseilt sein können. USB interface connectors are characterized by a rectangular interface geometry and by the arrangement of either two or all four of the contact elements side-by-side in a plane. In contrast, the four inner contact elements of connectors with HSD interface are positioned in a square array and the interface geometry is round. In the case of a USB interface, two of the four contact elements are provided for the transmission of data signals, while electrical supply energy is transmitted via the two further contact elements. In HSD interfaces, the four inner contact elements regularly serve a double differential signal transmission, wherein the two contact elements of the two transmission pairs are opposite each other in the square arrangement. This arrangement in conjunction with a contact elements Surrounding shielding ensures a high bit rate transmission capability with good electromagnetic shielding and good crosstalk attenuation. HSD connectors are routinely connected to shielded cables, where four wires are provided in a four-wire arrangement, which can also be stranded together.
Es ist bekannt, auf einer Leiterplatte einen HSD-Leiterplattensteckverbinder und einen USB-Leiterplattensteckverbinder anzuordnen und über die Leiterplatte elektrisch miteinander zu verbinden. Auf diese Weise wird ein Adapter geschaffen, durch den zwei Gegensteckverbinder mit USB- bzw. HSD-Schnittstelle miteinander verbunden werden können. It is known to arrange on a printed circuit board, a HSD PCB connector and a USB PCB connector and electrically connect to each other via the circuit board. In this way, an adapter is created by the two mating connectors can be connected to each other with USB or HSD interface.
Aus der WO 201 1 057691 A1 ist weiterhin ein gattungsgemäßer Adapter bekannt, bei dem die USB- und die HSD-Schnittstelle in einem Gehäuse ausgebildet sind und die jeweiligen Kontaktelemente der beiden Schnittstellen über einteilige Leiter miteinander verbunden sind. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die zwei Kontaktelemente zur Datenübertragung der USB-Schnittstelle mit zwei sich diagonal gegenüberliegenden Kontaktelementen der HSD-Schnittstelle verbunden sind, während die zwei Kontaktelemente zur Übertragung elektrischer Versorgungsenergie der USB-Schnittstelle mit den zwei verbliebenen inneren Kontaktelementen der HSD-Schnittstelle verbunden sind. Die HSD-Schnittstelle bei dem aus der WO 201 1 057691 A1 bekannten Adapter bzw. ein damit verbundenes Kabel werden somit nicht zur doppelten differentiellen Signalübertragung sondern vielmehr zur einfachen differentiellen Signalübertragung mit gleichzeitiger Übertragung einer Versorgungsspannung verwendet. From WO 201 1 057691 A1 a generic adapter is further known, in which the USB and the HSD interface are formed in a housing and the respective contact elements of the two interfaces are connected to each other via one-piece conductors. It is provided that the two contact elements for data transmission of the USB interface are connected to two diagonally opposite contact elements of the HSD interface, while the two contact elements for transmitting electrical supply energy of the USB interface connected to the two remaining inner contact elements of the HSD interface are. The HSD interface in the known from WO 201 1 057691 A1 adapter or a cable connected thereto are thus not used for double differential signal transmission but rather for easy differential signal transmission with simultaneous transmission of a supply voltage.
Sinn des aus der WO 201 1 057691 A1 bekannten Adapters ist, einen USB- Anschluss auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise mit HSD-spezifischen Komponenten zu verbinden, um deren guten Übertragungseigenschaften zu nutzen. Eingesetzt werden kann dieser Adapter insbesondere in Kraftfahrzeugen, die regelmäßig USB-Schnittstellen im Innenraum aufweisen, an die Multimediaplayer anschließbar sind, wobei die weitere Datenübertragung, insbesondere zu einem entfernt angeordneten Steuergerät über die im Kraftfahrzeugbau weit verbreiteten HSD-Komponenten erfolgt. Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik lag der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten gattungsgemäßen Adapter anzugeben. Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Adapter gemäß dem unabhängigen Anspruch 1 gelöst. Ein erfindungsgemäßes System aus einem solchen Adapter und einem damit verbundenen Kabel ist Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs 8. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Adapters und des erfindungsgemäßen Systems sind Gegenstand der jeweiligen abhängigen Ansprüche und ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der Erfindung. The purpose of the known from WO 201 1 057691 A1 adapter is to connect a USB port in a simple and cost-effective manner with HSD-specific components in order to use their good transmission properties. This adapter can be used in particular in motor vehicles, which regularly have USB interfaces in the interior, to which multimedia players can be connected, wherein the further data transmission, in particular to a remote control unit on the widely used in motor vehicle HSD components. Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide an improved generic adapter. This object is achieved by an adapter according to independent claim 1. An inventive system of such an adapter and a cable connected thereto is the subject of independent claim 8. Advantageous embodiments of the adapter according to the invention and the inventive system are the subject of the respective dependent claims and will become apparent from the following description of the invention.
Ein gattungsgemäßer Adapter mit einer ersten elektrischen Schnittstelle und einer zweiten elektrischen Schnittstelle, die jeweils Kontaktelemente zur Datenübertragung (Datenkontaktelemente) sowie zur Übertragung von elektrischer Versorgungsenergiespannung (Versorgungskontaktelemente) aufweisen, wobei die Kontaktelemente der erste Schnittstelle mit den entsprechenden Kontaktelementen der zweiten Schnittstelle über (elektrische) Leiter verbunden sind, ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch weitergebildet, dass ein erstes Versorgungskontaktelement der ersten Schnittstelle mit zwei ersten Versorgungskontaktelementen der zweiten Schnittstelle verbunden ist und ein zweites Versorgungskontaktelement der ersten Schnittstelle mit einem zweiten Versorgungskontaktelement der zweiten Schnittstelle, das in Form eines die weiteren Kontaktelemente umgebenden Außenleiters ausgebildet ist, verbunden ist. Vorzugsweise kann dabei vorgesehen sein, dass die erste Schnittstelle als USB- Schnittstelle ausgebildet ist und demnach eine rechteckige, vorzugsweise von einem Gehäuse (das auch gleichzeitig einen Außenleiter und insbesondere eine Schirmung darstellen kann) des Adapters ausgebildete Schnittstellengeometrie sowie eine Anordnung von mindestens zwei (vorzugsweise vier) der Kontaktelemente in einer Reihe aufweist. Weiterhin bevorzugt kann vorgesehen sein, dass die zweite Schnittstelle als HSD-Schnittstelle ausgebildet ist und demnach eine runde (insbesondere kreisförmige oder ovale), vorzugsweise von einem Gehäuse (das auch gleichzeitig einen Außenleiter und insbesondere eine Schirmung darstellen kann) des Adapters ausgebildete Schnittstellengeometrie, eine quadratische Anordnung von vier Kontaktelementen sowie einen die Kontaktelemente umgebenden Außenleiter aufweist. A generic adapter having a first electrical interface and a second electrical interface, each having contact elements for data transmission (data contact elements) and for transmitting electrical supply power voltage (supply contact elements), wherein the contact elements of the first interface with the corresponding contact elements of the second interface via (electrical) According to the invention, conductors are connected in that a first supply contact element of the first interface is connected to two first supply contact elements of the second interface and a second supply contact element of the first interface is formed with a second supply contact element of the second interface, which forms an outer conductor surrounding the further contact elements is connected. Preferably, it may be provided that the first interface is designed as a USB interface and therefore a rectangular, preferably of a housing (which can also represent an outer conductor and a shielding at the same time) of the adapter formed interface geometry and an array of at least two (preferably four) of the contact elements in a row. Further preferably, it can be provided that the second interface is designed as an HSD interface and accordingly a round (in particular circular or oval), preferably of a housing (which can also simultaneously represent an outer conductor and in particular a shield) of the adapter formed interface geometry, a having a square arrangement of four contact elements and an outer conductor surrounding the contact elements.
Erfindungsgemäß kann demnach vorgesehen sein, das eine Versorgungskontaktelement der USB-Schnittstelle über beispielsweise einen Y- Leiter auf zwei Versorgungskontaktelemente der HSD-Schnittstelle aufzuteilen und den normalerweise bei HSD-Komponenten und im vorliegenden Fall zusätzlich als Schirmung dienenden Außenleiter der HSD-Schnittstelle mit dem anderen Versorgungskontaktelement der USB-Schnittstelle zu verbinden. Dabei kann besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen sein, dass der Außenleiter bzw. das damit verbundene Versorgungskontaktelement für einen Anschluss an Massepotential vorgesehen sind. According to the invention can thus be provided to divide a supply contact element of the USB interface via, for example, a Y-conductor on two supply contact elements of the HSD interface and the normally HSD components and in the present case additionally serving as a shield outer conductor of the HSD interface with the other Supply contact element of the USB interface to connect. It can be particularly preferably provided that the outer conductor or the supply contact element connected thereto are provided for connection to ground potential.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes System umfasst demnach einen erfindungsgemäßen Adapter und ein über die zweite Schnittstelle mit dem Adapter verbundenes Kabel, das vier Adern aufweist, die in Sternvierer-Anordnung angeordnet und mit vier Kontaktelementen der zweiten Schnittstelle elektrisch leitend verbunden sind, sowie einen Außenleiter aufweist, der mit dem Außenleiter der zweiten Schnittstelle elektrisch leitend verbunden ist. Dabei kann vorzugsweise vorgesehen sein, dass das Kabel über einen Steckverbinder mit einer zu der zweiten Schnittstelle des Adapters komplementären Schnittstelle mit dem Adapter verbunden ist. Weiterhin bevorzugt kann auch die erste Schnittstelle Teil eines Steckverbinders sein, an den ein Steckverbinder mit dazu komplementärer Schnittstelle anschließbar ist. Es besteht jedoch auch die Möglichkeit, die Verbindung einer oder beider Schnittstellen (und insbesondere der zweiten Schnittstelle) mit weiterführenden Kabeln über eine direkte bzw. dauerhafte Verbindung herzustellen, beispielsweise indem die entsprechenden Kontaktelemente des Adapter mit den Leitern der Kabel vercrimpt werden. Durch die im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik (vgl. WO 201 1 057691 A1 ) zusätzliche Nutzung des Außenleiters der zweiten (HSD-)Schnittstelle sowie eines damit verbundenen Kabels zur Übertragung der elektrischen Versorgungsenergie (bei der es sich vorzugsweise um Gleichspannung handelt) kann der Gesamtwiderstand verringert bzw. im Umkehrschluss eine Verwendung dünnerer Kabel erreicht werden, wodurch Kosten und Gewicht niedrig gehalten werden, was insbesondere im Bereich des Kraftfahrzeugbaus von großer Bedeutung ist. Ein weiterer Vorteil, der sich aus der Aufteilung eines ersten Versorgungskontaktelements der ersten Schnittstelle auf zwei erste Versorgungskontaktelemente der zweiten Schnittstelle durch z.B. einen Y-Leiter ergibt, ist die Möglichkeit, über einen Leiter, der an eine der beiden ersten Versorgungskontaktelemente der zweiten Schnittstelle angeschlossen ist, ein Prüfsignal zu schicken und dieses über einen weiteren Leiter, der an die andere der beiden ersten Versorgungskontaktelemente der zweiten Schnittstelle angeschlossen ist, wieder zu empfangen, was infolge der Verbindung der beiden ersten Versorgungskontaktelemente (z.B. mittels des Y-Leiters) ohne weitere Maßnahmen (z.B. Überbrücken) möglich ist. Dadurch kann z.B. überprüft werden, ob die Verbindung zwischen dem erfindungsgemäßen Adapter und einer Head Unit korrekt hergestellt ist. Dies kann insbesondere relevant sein, wenn in diese Verbindung ein oder mehrere Steckverbindungen integriert sind, wie dies z.B. bei einem HSD-Netz in einem Kraftfahrzeug der Fall sein kann. Dadurch kann somit ein einfaches Überprüfen einer korrekten Montage aller Steckverbindungen ermöglicht werden. Ein solches Prüfverfahren ist ebenfalls Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung. Zur einfachen und kostengünstigen Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Adapters kann vorzugsweise vorgesehen sein, dass einer oder mehrere, vorzugsweise alle die Kontaktelemente der Schnittstellen verbindende Leiter als Stanz- oder Stanzbiegebauteile (ggf. mit (einem) zusätzlichen Umformschritt(en), z.B. dem Prägen des/der Kontaktelemente) ausgebildet sind. A system according to the invention therefore comprises an adapter according to the invention and a cable which is connected to the adapter via the second interface and has four cores which are arranged in a star quad arrangement and are electrically conductively connected to four contact elements of the second interface, and which has an outer conductor which the outer conductor of the second interface is electrically connected. It can preferably be provided that the cable is connected via a connector with a complementary to the second interface of the adapter interface with the adapter. Further preferably, the first interface may be part of a connector to which a connector with complementary interface can be connected. However, it is also possible to make the connection of one or both interfaces (and in particular the second interface) with continuing cables via a direct or permanent connection, for example, by crimping the corresponding contact elements of the adapter with the conductors of the cable. By compared to the prior art (see WO 201 1 057691 A1) additional use of the outer conductor of the second (HSD) interface and an associated cable for transmitting the electrical supply energy (which is preferably DC), the Total resistance reduced or vice versa use thinner Cables are achieved, which costs and weight are kept low, which is particularly important in the field of automotive engineering of great importance. Another advantage resulting from the division of a first supply contact element of the first interface on two first supply contact elements of the second interface by, for example, a Y-conductor is the possibility via a conductor which is connected to one of the two first supply contact elements of the second interface to send a test signal and to receive it again via another conductor which is connected to the other of the two first supply contact elements of the second interface, which due to the connection of the two first supply contact elements (eg by means of the Y-conductor) without further action ( eg bridging) is possible. As a result, it can be checked, for example, whether the connection between the adapter according to the invention and a head unit is made correctly. This may be particularly relevant if one or more connectors are integrated in this connection, as may be the case, for example, in a HSD network in a motor vehicle. As a result, a simple check for a correct installation of all connections can thus be made possible. Such a test method is also an object of the present invention. For simple and inexpensive embodiment of the adapter according to the invention may preferably be provided that one or more, preferably all the contact elements of the interfaces connecting conductor as punching or punching bending components (possibly with (a) additional forming step (s), eg the embossing of / Contact elements) are formed.
Weiterhin bevorzugt kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Leiter mit den durch diese verbundenen Kontaktelementen integral und insbesondere einstückig ausgebildet sind. Besonders bevorzugt kann dabei vorgesehen sein, dass der das erste Versorgungskontaktelement der ersten Schnittstelle mit den zwei ersten Versorgungskontaktelementen der zweiten Schnittstelle verbindende Leiter in einer Y-Form ausgebildet ist. Auch ein solcher Y-förmiger Leiter kann vorzugsweise einteilig, insbesondere als Stanzbiegebauteil ausgebildet sein. Auf diese Weise kann einfach und kostengünstig ein Y-Leiter geschaffen werden, durch den das eine Versorgungskontaktelement der ersten (vorzugsweise USB-) Schnittstelle mit den zwei Versorgungskontaktelementen der zweiten (vorzugsweise HSD-) Schnittstelle verbunden werden kann. Further preferably, it may be provided that the conductors are integrally formed with the contact elements connected by these and in particular in one piece. Particularly preferably, it may be provided that the conductor connecting the first supply contact element of the first interface to the two first supply contact elements of the second interface is formed in a Y-shape. Also, such a Y-shaped conductor may preferably be formed in one piece, in particular as a stamped and bent component. In this way can be easily and inexpensively created a Y-conductor, by which one supply contact element of the first (preferably USB) interface with the two supply contact elements of the second (preferably HSD) interface can be connected.
Alternativ besteht auch die Möglichkeit, den Y-Leiter mit zwei Teilleitern auszubilden, wobei ein erster Teilleiter das erste Versorgungskontaktelement der ersten Schnittstelle und eines der ersten Versorgungskontaktelemente der zweiten Schnittstelle (vorzugsweise integral) ausbildet, und ein zweiter Teilleiter das andere der ersten Versorgungskontaktelemente der zweiten Schnittstelle (vorzugsweise integral) ausbildet und den ersten Teilleiter an einer Kontaktstelle elektrisch leitend kontaktiert. Dabei können der erste Teilleiter und der zweite Teilleiter an der Kontaktstelle vorzugsweise stoffschlüssig (z.B. durch Löten oder Schweißen) verbunden sein. Alternatively, it is also possible to form the Y conductor with two sub-conductors, wherein a first sub-conductor forms the first supply contact element of the first interface and one of the first supply contact elements of the second interface (preferably integrally), and a second sub-conductor forms the other of the first supply contact elements of the second Interface (preferably integrally) forms and contacted the first part of conductor at a contact point electrically conductive. In this case, the first sub-conductor and the second sub-conductor may be connected to the contact point preferably by material bonding (for example by soldering or welding).
In einer weiterhin bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Adapter kann vorgesehen sein, dass der das zweite Versorgungskontaktelement der ersten (vorzugsweise USB-) Schnittstelle mit dem zweiten Versorgungskontaktelement (d.h. dem Außenleiter) der zweiten (vorzugsweise HSD-) Schnittstelle verbindende Leiter als Kontaktfederlasche ausgebildet ist, die unter Federbelastung an dem zweiten Versorgungskontaktelement der zweiten Schnittstelle anliegt. Dabei kann besonders bevorzugt vorgesehen sein, dass das zweite Versorgungskontaktelement, d.h. der Außenleiter der zweiten Schnittstelle hülsenförmig ausgebildet ist und der Leiter innenseitig daran anliegt. Dadurch kann wiederum eine konstruktiv einfache und kostengünstige Ausgestaltung des Adapters erzielt werden. In a further preferred embodiment of the adapter according to the invention can be provided that the second supply contact element of the first (preferably USB) interface with the second supply contact element (ie the outer conductor) of the second (preferably HSD) interface connecting conductor is designed as a contact spring tab, the spring-loaded against the second supply contact element of the second interface. It may be particularly preferred that the second supply contact element, i. the outer conductor of the second interface is sleeve-shaped and the conductor rests on the inside. This in turn can be achieved a structurally simple and cost-effective design of the adapter.

Die Zeichnungen zeigen eine beispielhafte Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Adapters zur Umverdrahtung von einer USB-Schnittstelle 1 auf eine HSD-Schnittstelle 2. The drawings show an exemplary embodiment of an adapter according to the invention for rewiring from a USB interface 1 to an HSD interface 2.
Der Adapter umfasst einen metallischen Außenleiter 3, der gleichzeitig ein Gehäuse des Adapters darstellt und für beide Schnittstellen die äußere Schnittstellengeometrie definiert. Die äußere Schnittstellengeometrie der USB- Schnittstelle 1 ist rechteckig (vgl. Fig. 1), während diejenige der HSD-Schnittstelle 2 kreisrund ist (vgl. Fig. 4). The adapter comprises a metallic outer conductor 3, which simultaneously represents a housing of the adapter and defines the outer interface geometry for both interfaces. The outer interface geometry of the USB interface 1 is rectangular (see Fig. 1), while that of the HSD interface 2 is circular (see Fig. 4).
Innerhalb des Außenleiters 3 und von diesem über einen Isolationskörper 4 elektrisch isoliert sind insgesamt vier (Innen-)Leiter 5 angeordnet, die jeweils integral zumindest ein Kontaktelement einer der Schnittstellen ausbilden. Die Kontaktelemente dieser Leiter 5 in Verbindung mit dem Außenleiter 3 bilden die elektrischen Komponenten USB- 1 sowie HSD-Schnittstelle 2 aus. Dabei sind die vier von den Leitern 5 ausgebildeten Kontaktelemente der USB-Schnittstelle 1 nebeneinander in einer Reihe angeordnet. Zudem sind die Kontaktelemente als Kontaktfederlaschen ausgebildet, die seitlich von komplementären Kontaktelementen eines Gegensteckverbinders (nicht dargestellt) kontaktiert werden und durch eine elastische seitliche Auslenkung einen Kontaktdruck erzeugen. Dagegen sind die vier von den Leitern 5 ausgebildeten Kontaktelemente der HSD- Schnittstelle 2 in einer quadratischen Anordnung vorgesehen und als Kontaktstifte ausgebildet, die in komplementäre Kontaktbuchsen eines Gegensteckverbinders (nicht dargestellt) eingesteckt werden können. Within the outer conductor 3 and from this electrically insulated via an insulating body 4, a total of four (inner) conductor 5 are arranged, each integrally forming at least one contact element of one of the interfaces. The contact elements of these conductors 5 in conjunction with the outer conductor 3 form the electrical components USB 1 and HSD interface 2. In this case, the four formed by the conductors 5 contact elements of the USB interface 1 are arranged side by side in a row. In addition, the contact elements are designed as contact spring tabs, which are laterally contacted by complementary contact elements of a mating connector (not shown) and produce a contact pressure by means of an elastic lateral deflection. In contrast, the four formed by the conductors 5 contact elements of the HSD interface 2 are provided in a square arrangement and formed as contact pins, which are in complementary contact sockets of a mating connector (not shown) can be inserted.
Zwei der Leiter 5 sind als einfache Leiter 5a ausgebildet und integrieren jeweils Kontaktelemente beider Schnittstellen. Aufseiten der USB-Schnittstelle 1 handelt es sich hierbei um die zwei mittigen Kontaktelemente und aufseiten der HSD- Schnittstelle 2 um zwei sich diagonal gegenüberliegende Kontaktelemente. Diese zwei einfachen Leiter 5a dienen der Übertragung von Datensignalen. Two of the conductors 5 are formed as simple conductors 5a and integrate in each case contact elements of both interfaces. On the sides of the USB interface 1, these are the two central contact elements and on the sides of the HSD interface 2 are two diagonally opposite contact elements. These two simple conductors 5a are used to transmit data signals.
Ein weiterer Leiter ist als Y-Leiter 5b ausgebildet und integriert auf einem der Schenkel ein Kontaktelement der USB-Schnittstelle 1 und auf den beiden anderen Schenkeln jeweils ein Kontaktelement der HSD-Schnittstelle 2. Diese beiden Kontaktelemente der HSD-Schnittstelle 2 liegen sich ebenfalls diagonal gegenüber. Another conductor is formed as Y-conductor 5b and integrated on one of the legs of a contact element of the USB interface 1 and on the two other legs each have a contact element of the HSD interface 2. These two contact elements of the HSD interface 2 are also diagonally across from.
Der Y-Leiter 5b dient in Verbindung mit dem vierten Leiter 5c der Übertragung einer Versorgungsspannung. Dieser vierte Leiter 5c integriert an einem Ende ein Kontaktelement der USB-Schnittstelle 1 und ist an dem anderen Ende als Kontaktfederlasche ausgebildet, die unter Duck gegen die Innenseite des Außenleiters 3 anliegt. Der Außenleiter 3 dient somit aufseiten der HSD-Schnittstelle 2 ebenfalls, d.h. wie die zwei entsprechenden Kontaktelemente des Y-Leiters 5b, als Kontaktelement zur Übertragung von elektrischer Versorgungsenergie. The Y conductor 5b, in conjunction with the fourth conductor 5c, serves to transmit a supply voltage. This fourth conductor 5c integrated at one end a contact element of the USB interface 1 and is formed at the other end as a contact spring tab, which bears against the inside of the outer conductor 3 under duck. The outer conductor 3 thus also serves on the HSD interface 2 side, i. as the two corresponding contact elements of the Y-conductor 5b, as a contact element for the transmission of electrical power.
Die Umverdrahtung in dem erfindungsgemäßen Adapter sieht demnach vor, die über zwei Kontaktelemente der USB-Schnittstelle 1 erfolgende elektrische Energieversorgung auf insgesamt drei Kontaktelemente der HSD-Schnittstelle 2 aufzuteilen, nämlich zwei der Kontaktstifte sowie das von dem entsprechenden Ende des Außenleiters 3 ausgebildete, hülsenförmige Kontaktelement. Bei einem an die HSD-Schnittstelle 2 angeschlossenen Kabel (nicht dargestellt), insbesondere einem Kabel in Sternvier-Anordnung, würden somit zwei der Adern sowie ein die Adern umgebender Außenleiter (insbesondere in Form eines Außenleitergeflechts) für die elektrische Energieversorgung herangezogen werden, während die zwei weiteren Adern der Datenübertragung dienen. The rewiring in the adapter according to the invention accordingly provides for the electrical power supply taking place via two contact elements of the USB interface 1 to be divided into a total of three contact elements of the HSD interface 2, namely two of the contact pins and the sleeve-shaped contact element formed by the corresponding end of the outer conductor 3 , In a cable connected to the HSD interface 2 (not shown), in particular a cable in four-star arrangement, thus two of the wires and an outer conductor surrounding the wires (in particular in the form of an outer conductor braid) would be used for the electrical power supply, while the serve two other wires of data transmission.
Der aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Kunststoff ausgebildete Isolationskörper 4 ist zweiteilig ausgeführt, um die Herstellung (insbesondere durch Spritzgießen) sowie die Montage des Adapters zu vereinfachen. Über eine Rastverbindung werden die beiden Teile des Isolationskörpers 4 nach der Montage der (Innen-)Leiter 5 miteinander verbunden. Daraufhin kann die Einheit aus Isolationskörper 4 und (Innen-)Leitern 5 in den Außenleiter 3 eingeschoben werden, wo diese durch ein Eingreifen von Rastlaschen 6 des Außenleiters 3 in Vertiefungen 7 des Isolationskörpers 4 fixiert ist. The formed of an electrically insulating plastic insulating body 4 is designed in two parts to the production (in particular by injection molding) and to simplify the assembly of the adapter. About a locking connection, the two parts of the insulating body 4 are connected to each other after installation of the (inner) conductor 5. Then, the unit of insulating body 4 and (inner) conductors 5 are inserted into the outer conductor 3, where this is fixed by engagement of locking tabs 6 of the outer conductor 3 in recesses 7 of the insulating body 4.
Der Isolationskörper 4 bildet an der HSD-Schnittstelle 2 drei Vorsprünge 8 aus, von denen die zwei äußeren mit einer Teilung von jeweils 90° von dem mittleren Vorsprung versetzt an der Innenseite des Außenleiters 3 angeordnet sind. Zwischen den zwei äußeren Vorsprüngen 8 ergibt sich somit eine von den anderen Teilungen abweichende Teilung von 180°. Diese Nicht-Symmetrie (bezüglich der Längs- bzw. einer Querachse der HSD-Schnittstelle 2) sorgt dafür, dass ein Gegensteckverbinder, der drei komplementäre Vertiefungen in entsprechender Anordnung aufweist, nur in exakt einer Ausrichtung in die HSD-Schnittstelle 2 eingesteckt werden kann. Fehlsteckungen könnend dadurch vermieden werden. The insulating body 4 forms at the HSD interface 2, three projections 8, of which the two outer are arranged offset at a pitch of 90 ° from the central projection on the inside of the outer conductor 3. Between the two outer projections 8 thus results in a diverging from the other divisions division of 180 °. This non-symmetry (with respect to the longitudinal or a transverse axis of the HSD interface 2) ensures that a mating connector, which has three complementary recesses in a corresponding arrangement, can only be inserted into the HSD interface 2 in exactly one orientation. Misuses can thereby be avoided.
