Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckverbinder mit einem Verriegelungsbügel insbesondere zur elektrischen Verbindung eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit einem Anhänger sowie ein Anschlusskabel mit einem solchen Steckverbinder.The invention relates to a connector with a locking bracket in particular for the electrical connection of a motor vehicle with a trailer and a connection cable with such a connector.

Üblicherweise ist ein solcher Steckverbinder über ein Kabel an der Rückseite eines Kraftfahrzeugs befestigt oder mit diesem verbunden. Zwecks Herstellung der elektrischen Verbindung wird der Steckverbinder in eine am Anhänger angebrachte Steckdose eingeführt und durch einen Verriegelungsbügel in dieser Position fixiert.Usually, such a connector is attached via a cable to the rear of a motor vehicle or connected thereto. In order to make the electrical connection, the connector is inserted into a socket attached to the trailer and fixed by a locking bracket in this position.

Aus der EP1111729A2 ist ein solcher Steckverbinder bekannt. Dieser Steckverbinder weist einen schwenkbaren Verriegelungsbügel auf, der zwei drehbar gelagerte Rollen umfasst, welche in verriegelter Stellung an der Steckdose angebrachte Verriegelungswiderlager umgreifen können, um den Stecker in dieser Stellung zu halten und zu sichern. Nachteilig an dieser Lösung ist, dass die Rollen und Rollenlager belastenden Einwirkungen ausgesetzt sind. Bei wiederholter und/oder übermässiger mechanischer Belastung können die Rollenlager brechen. Auch Witterungseinflüsse, Verschmutzung und Oxidation belasten die Rollenlager über längere Zeit erheblich, so dass deren Funktion über eine längere Zeitdauer normalerweise nicht gewährleistet ist.From the EP1111729A2 is such a connector known. This connector has a pivotable locking bracket, which comprises two rotatably mounted rollers which can engage in the locked position mounted on the socket locking abutment to hold the plug in this position and secure. A disadvantage of this solution is that the rollers and roller bearings are exposed to adverse effects. Repeated and / or excessive mechanical stress may cause roller bearings to break. Even weathering, pollution and oxidation burden the roller bearings for a long time considerably, so that their function over a longer period of time is usually not guaranteed.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Steckverbinder sowie ein Anschlusskabel mit einem solchen Steckverbinder insbesondere zur elektrischen Verbindung eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit einem Anhänger zu schaffen.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved connector and a connection cable with such a connector, in particular for the electrical connection of a motor vehicle with a trailer.

Der Steckverbinder soll zuverlässig mit einem Gegenstück verbindbar sein und äusseren Einflüssen, insbesondere wiederholten mechanischen Einwirkungen und Witterungseinflüssen unbeschadet standhalten, so dass Verschleisserscheinungen vermieden werden.The connector should be reliably connectable to a counterpart and external influences, in particular withstand repeated mechanical effects and the effects of weather without damage, so that signs of wear are avoided.

Die einwandfreie Funktion des Verriegelungsbügels soll über eine möglichst lange Betriebsdauer gewährleistet bleiben.The perfect function of the locking bar should be ensured over the longest possible service life.

Der Verriegelungsbügel soll einfach und stabil aufgebaut und kostengünstig herstellbar sein.The locking bracket should be simple and stable and inexpensive to produce.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Steckverbinder, einem Stecker oder einer Buchse, und einem Anschlusskabel gelöst, welche die in Anspruch 1 bzw. Anspruch 14 angegebenen Merkmale aufweisen. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in weiteren Ansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved with a connector, a plug or a socket, and a connection cable, which have the features specified in claim 1 or claim 14. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in further claims.

Der erfindungsgemässe Steckverbinder dient insbesondere der Herstellung einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen einem Zugfahrzeug und einem Anhänger, vorzugsweise zwischen einem Lastkraftwagen und zugehörigem Anhänger. Hierfür kann der Steckverbinder mit einem korrespondierenden zweiten Steckverbinder, eine Buchse oder einem Stecker, am Zugfahrzeug und am Anhänger verbunden werden.The connector according to the invention is used in particular for producing an electrical connection between a towing vehicle and a trailer, preferably between a truck and associated trailer. For this purpose, the connector can be connected to a corresponding second connector, a socket or a plug on the towing vehicle and the trailer.

Der Steckverbinder umfasst ein Steckverbindergehäuse, in das ein elektrisches Kabel eingeführt werden kann. Die einzelnen elektrischen Leiter des Kabels werden innerhalb des Gehäuses mit den Polen einer im Gehäuse angebrachten Steckeinheit verbunden. Am Gehäuse ist ein Verriegelungsbügel angebracht, welcher um eine Lagerachse schwenkbar ist. Der Verriegelungsbügel umfasst zwei Bügelschenkel, welche je ein am Steckverbindergehäuse gelagertes Flanschelement und je ein Verriegelungselement aufweisen. Das Verriegelungselement ist vorzugsweise so ausgeführt, dass es lösbar mit einem Verriegelungswiderlager koppelbar ist, das an einem zum Steckverbinder korrespondierenden zweiten Steckverbinder, ggf. einer Buchse angebracht ist.The connector includes a connector housing into which an electrical cable can be inserted. The individual electrical conductors of the cable are connected within the housing with the poles of a plug-in unit mounted in the housing. On the housing, a locking bracket is attached, which is pivotable about a bearing axis. The locking bracket comprises two bar arms, which each have a flange mounted on the connector housing and a respective locking element. The locking element is preferably designed so that it can be releasably coupled to a locking abutment, which at one to Connector corresponding second connector, if necessary, a socket is attached.

Erfindungsgemäss weisen die Verriegelungselemente kurvenförmige Kufenelemente auf. Diese Kufenelemente erleichtern das Gleiten des Verriegelungsbügels über die Verriegelungswiderlager. Anschliessend an die Kufenelemente sind Rastflächen zur vorgesehen, an denen die Verriegelungswiderlager nach der Verriegelung des Steckverbinder gelagert werden.According to the invention, the locking elements on curved runner elements. These runner elements facilitate the sliding of the locking bracket on the locking abutment. Following the runner elements locking surfaces are provided to which the locking abutment are stored after locking the connector.

Vorzugsweise ist der erfindungsgemässe Verriegelungsbügel einstückig ausgeführt. Als Materialien können sowohl metallische Bleche, Legierungen oder Kunststoffe verwendet werden. Vorzugsweise ist der Verriegelungsbügel aus Edelstahl gefertigt. Durch die einstückige Ausführung wird die Zahl der Arbeitsschritte, welche zur Herstellung des Verriegelungsbügels benötigt werden reduziert. Zudem wird das Risiko des Abbrechens von nicht stoffschlüssig mit dem Verriegelungsbügel verbundenen Teilen durch mechanische Beanspruchung eliminiert.Preferably, the inventive locking bracket is made in one piece. As materials both metallic sheets, alloys or plastics can be used. Preferably, the locking bracket is made of stainless steel. The one-piece design reduces the number of working steps required to produce the locking clip. In addition, the risk of breaking off of non-materially connected to the locking bracket parts are eliminated by mechanical stress.

Das Kufenelement umfasst erfindungsgemäss eine Lauffläche, wobei die Breite dieser Lauffläche ein Mehrfaches der Wandstärke des Bügelschenkels beträgt. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform beträgt die Breite der Lauffläche das 1.5-5 fache der Wandstärke des Bügelschenkels. In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform beträgt die Breite der Lauffläche 1mm bis 5mm. Vorzugsweise ist die Lauffläche senkrecht zum an die Lauffläche angrenzenden Teil des Verriegelungselements ausgerichtet. Durch diese Breite der Laufflächen wird gewährleistet, dass der Verriegelungsvorgang praktisch verschleissfrei erfolgen kann.The runner element according to the invention comprises a running surface, wherein the width of this running surface is a multiple of the wall thickness of the stirrup leg. In a preferred embodiment, the width of the tread is 1.5-5 times the wall thickness of the stirrup leg. In a further preferred embodiment, the width of the tread is 1mm to 5mm. The running surface is preferably aligned perpendicular to the part of the locking element adjoining the running surface. This width of the treads ensures that the locking process can be done practically free of wear.

Das Kufenelement ist in einer vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung als Segment eines Hohlzylinders ausgeführt.The runner element is designed in a preferred embodiment as a segment of a hollow cylinder.

In einer weiteren vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung sind am Übergang zwischen den Kufenelementen und den Rastfläche Senken vorgesehen. Durch die Ausbildung von Senken können scharfe Kanten an den Enden der Kufenelemente, die bei der Herstellung des Verriegelungsbügels auftreten können, so positioniert werden, dass sie beim Übergang der Verriegelungswiderlager nicht mit diesen in Berührung kommen und diese somit auch nicht schädigen können. Vorzugsweise ist die Senke an der Rastfläche so positioniert, dass das Verriegelungswiderlager in der verriegelten Position genau in der Senke zu liegen kommt. Hierdurch wird der Schutz gegen ungewolltes Entriegeln - beispielsweise durch Vibrationen - erhöht.In a further preferred embodiment, depressions are provided at the transition between the runner elements and the latching surface. By forming countersinks sharp edges at the ends of the runner elements, which may occur during the production of the locking bracket, are positioned so that they do not come into contact with the transition of the locking abutment and thus can not damage them. Preferably, the sink is positioned on the latching surface so that the latching abutment in the locked position comes to rest precisely in the sink. As a result, the protection against unintentional unlocking - increased - for example, by vibrations.

In einer weiteren vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung wird die Differenz der Abstände von der Drehachse des Verriegelungsbügels des Kufenelement einerseits und der Rastfläche andererseits in einem Bereich zwischen 0,3mm und 2mm gewählt. Dadurch dass das Kufenelement näher an der Drehachse liegt als die Rastfläche werden die Verriegelungswiderlager in der verriegelten Position stabil gehalten.In a further preferred embodiment, the difference of the distances from the axis of rotation of the locking bracket of the runner element on the one hand and the locking surface on the other hand in a range between 0.3mm and 2mm is selected. The fact that the runner element is closer to the axis of rotation than the locking surface keeps the locking abutments stable in the locked position.

In einer weiteren vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung ist das Lagerelement, durch welches der Verriegelungsbügel mit dem Steckverbindergehäuse verbunden ist, aus einem elastischen Material ausgeführt. Die beim Verriegeln des Bügels auftretenden Kräfte können somit zumindest teilweise durch elastische Dehnung des Lagerelements aufgenommen werden.In a further preferred embodiment, the bearing element, by which the locking bracket is connected to the connector housing, made of an elastic material. The forces occurring during locking of the bracket can thus be at least partially absorbed by elastic expansion of the bearing element.

Der Verriegelungsbügel wird bei dieser Ausgestaltung vorzugsweise durch Spritzgiessen hergestellt.In a further embodiment of the invention, the locking bracket is made of a UV-resistant plastic. The locking bracket is preferably made by injection molding in this embodiment.

Die Kufenelemente sind vorzugsweise so ausgeführt, dass sie einstückig mit dem Verriegelungsbügel verbunden sind. Durch die einstückige Ausführung können die Kufenelemente direkt bei der Formung des Bügels mitgeformt werden, so dass die Zahl der Bearbeitungsschritte minimiert wird.The runner elements are preferably designed so that they are integrally connected to the locking bracket. Due to the one-piece design, the runner elements can be mitgeformt directly during the formation of the bracket, so that the number of processing steps is minimized.

In einer weiteren erfindungsgemässen Ausgestaltung werden die Kufenelemente nach der Herstellung des Verriegelungsbügels geschliffen und/oder poliert, so dass die Gleitreibung beim Übergang über das Verriegelungswiderlager reduziert wird. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung wird der Bügel nach dem Formungsprozess gleitgeschliffen. Zur Reduktion der Gleitreibung kann auch eine hierfür geeignete Beschichtung auf die Kufenelemente aufgebracht werden.In a further embodiment according to the invention, the runner elements are ground and / or polished after the production of the locking bow, so that the sliding friction is reduced during the transition via the locking abutment. In a preferred embodiment, the bracket is slid after the forming process. To reduce the sliding friction and a suitable coating for this purpose can be applied to the runner elements.

Vorzugsweise umfasst der erfindungsgemässe Steckverbinder 7- oder 15-Pole.Preferably, the connector according to the invention comprises 7 or 15 poles.

Der Steckverbinder wird in einer erfindungsgemässen Ausgestaltung an ein Kabel angebracht. Vorzugsweise ist dieses Kabel als Spiralkabel ausgeführt.The connector is attached in a configuration according to the invention to a cable. Preferably, this cable is designed as a spiral cable.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung sind an beiden Enden eines Kabels, vorzugsweise eines Spiralkabels, erfindungsgemässe Steckverbinder angebracht.In a further preferred embodiment, connectors according to the invention are attached to both ends of a cable, preferably a spiral cable.

Fig. 2 zeigt ferner, dass der Steckverbinder 1 mehrere elektrische Kontakte/Pole 15, z.B. 7 oder 15 Stück, umfasst. Eine am Steckverbindergehäuse 11 angebrachte Auflageplatte 16 dient der Lagerung einer vorzugsweise an der Buchse 2 vorgesehenen Klappe, die der Abdeckung der Buchse 2 dient, nachdem diese vom Steckverbinder 1 entkoppelt wurde. Fig. 2 further shows that the connector 1 comprises a plurality of electrical contacts / poles 15, for example 7 or 15 pieces. A mounted on the connector housing 11 support plate 16 serves to support a preferably provided on the socket 2 flap, which serves the cover of the socket 2, after it has been decoupled from the connector 1.

Fig. 3 zeigt den vorzugsweise ausgestalteten Verriegelungsbügel 4 des Steckverbinders 1 von Fig. 2, der mittels des Betätigungsgriffs 49 von der geöffneten Position in die verriegelte Position und wieder zurück gedreht werden kann. Der vorzugsweise symmetrisch aufgebaute Verriegelungsbügel 4 umfasst zwei miteinander verbundene Bügelschenkel 42, an deren Enden je ein Bügelfuss 421 vorgesehen ist. Jeder Bügelfuss 421 weist auf einer Seite ein Verriegelungselement 41 und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite ein der Verbindung mit einem zugehörigen Lagerbolzen 111 dienendes Flanschelement 43 auf. Zur Aufnahme der Lagerbolzen 111 sind die Flanschelemente 43 in dieser Ausgestaltung mit einer Bohrung versehen, an die ein nach innen gebogener Rand oder Flanschring anschliesst und die von einer Rotationsachse x durchlaufen wird, um die der Verriegelungsbügel 4 relativ zum Steckverbindergehäuse 11 gedreht werden kann. Fig. 3 shows the preferably designed locking bracket 4 of the connector 1 of Fig. 2 which can be rotated by the operating handle 49 from the open position to the locked position and back again. The preferably symmetrically constructed locking bracket 4 comprises two interconnected stirrup legs 42, at each of whose ends a bracket foot 421 is provided. Each bracket 421 has on one side a locking element 41 and on the opposite side of the connection with an associated bearing pin 111 serving flange 43. To accommodate the bearing pin 111, the flange 43 are provided in this embodiment with a bore, followed by an inwardly bent edge or flange and is traversed by a rotation axis x, by which the locking bracket 4 can be rotated relative to the connector housing 11.

In einer ersten Detailansicht A ist gezeigt, dass die Verriegelungselemente 41 eine Rastfläche 413 und ein Kufenelement 411 umfassen, welches eine kurvenförmige Lauffläche 4110 mit der Breite b aufweist.In a first detail view A it is shown that the locking elements 41 a latching surface 413 and a Include runner element 411, which has a curved running surface 4110 with the width b.

Eine zweite Detailansicht B zeigt eines der Verriegelungselemente 41 und das an der Rastfläche 413 gelagerte zugehörige Verriegelungswiderlager 21 im verriegelten Zustand. Das Verriegelungswiderlager 21 kann während des Drehens des Verriegelungsbügels 4 um die Drehachse x über die Laufflächen 4110 des Kufenelements 411 gleiten, um in die verriegelte Position zu gelangen.A second detail view B shows one of the locking elements 41 and the associated locking abutment 21 mounted on the latching surface 413 in the locked state. The locking abutment 21 can slide about the axis of rotation x over the running surfaces 4110 of the runner element 411 during the rotation of the locking clip 4, in order to reach the locked position.

Aus beiden Detailansichten A und B ist ersichtlich, dass das Kufenelement 411 in dieser vorzugsweisen Ausgestaltung ein Segment eines Hohlzylinders bildet. Es sind jedoch auch andere Krümmungsverläufe der Laufflächen 4110 realisierbar. Kanten innerhalb der Lauffläche 4110 werden vorzugsweise vermieden, so dass der Kopplungsvorgang jeweils schonend verläuft. Der kurvenförmige Verlauf der Lauffläche 4110 kann vollständig gerundet verlaufen oder auch auf wenigstens zwei zueinander geneigte Flächen reduziert werden.From both detail views A and B it can be seen that the runner element 411 in this preferred embodiment forms a segment of a hollow cylinder. However, other curvatures of the running surfaces 4110 can be realized. Edges within the running surface 4110 are preferably avoided, so that the coupling process is gentle in each case. The curved course of the tread 4110 may be completely rounded or reduced to at least two mutually inclined surfaces.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer möglichen Ausführungsform des Verriegelungsbügels 4 von Fig. 3 mit zwei Kreisbogen kb1, kb2, die mit den Radien r1, r2 konzentrisch zur Rotationsachse x des Verriegelungsbügels 4 verlaufen. Der Radius r2 des zweiten Kreisbogens kb2 ist dabei um die Differenz dr = r2-r1 grösser als der Radius r1 des ersten Kreisbogens kb1. Fig. 4 shows a side view of a possible embodiment of the locking bracket 4 of Fig. 3 with two circular arcs kb1, kb2, which run with the radii r1, r2 concentric with the axis of rotation x of the locking bracket 4. The radius r2 of the second circular arc kb2 is greater by the difference dr = r2-r1 than the radius r1 of the first circular arc kb1.

Der Radius r1 des ersten Kreisbogens kb1 entspricht dem Abstand von der Drehachse x zum nächstliegenden Punkt der Lauffläche 4110 des Kufenelements 411. Ausserhalb des Verriegelungsbereichs wird dieser Teil der Lauffläche 4110 entlang dem ersten Kreisbogen kb1 geführt.The radius r1 of the first circular arc kb1 corresponds to the distance from the axis of rotation x to the nearest point of the running surface 4110 of the runner element 411. Outside the locking region, this part of the running surface 4110 is guided along the first circular arc kb1.

Der Radius r2 des zweiten Kreisbogens kb2 entspricht dem Abstand von der Drehachse x zur Rastfläche 413.The radius r2 of the second circular arc kb2 corresponds to the distance from the axis of rotation x to the latching surface 413.

Eingezeichnet ist ferner der Abstand r2 'von der Drehachse x zum radial entferntest liegenden Punkt des Verriegelungswiderlagers 21.Also drawn is the distance r2 'from the axis of rotation x to the radially farthest point of the locking abutment 21st

Im unverriegelten Zustand des Steckverbinders 1 (mit dem Verriegelungswiderlager 21 ausserhalb des Eingriffsbereichs des Verriegelungselements 41) sowie im verriegelten Zustand des Steckverbinders 1 (mit dem Verriegelungswiderlager 21' auf der Rastfläche 413 des Verriegelungselements 41) entspricht der Radius r2 des zweiten Kreisbogens kb2 dem Abstand r2' von der Drehachse x zum Verriegelungswiderlager 21. Im Übergangsbereich zwischen dem unverriegelten sowie dem verriegelten Zustand des Steckverbinders 1 ist die Differenz der Abstände r1 und r2' zu überwinden.In the unlocked state of the connector 1 (with the locking abutment 21 outside the engagement region of the locking element 41) and in the locked state of the connector 1 (with the locking abutment 21 'on the locking surface 413 of the locking element 41) corresponds to the radius r2 of the second arc kb2 the distance r2 In the transition region between the unlocked and the locked state of the connector 1, the difference of the distances r1 and r2 'is overcome.

Die inhärente Elastizität des Materials eines Teils des Steckverbinders 1 und/oder der Buchse 2, insbesondere des Verriegelungsbügels 4, eines der Lagerelemente oder eines Federelements, ist derart ausgelegt, dass die Differenz dr der Abstände r2' und r1 während des Kopplungsvorgangs überwunden und die Verriegelungswiderlager 21 über die Kufenelemente 411 gleiten können. Dabei wird der Verriegelungsbügel 4 nach aussen gedehnt, wodurch sich der Radius r1 erhöht. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann ein elastisches Lagerelement 5 (siehe Fig. 1b und Fig. 1c) vorgesehen werden, welches eine Verschiebung des Verriegelungsbügels 4 um die Distanz dr erlaubt.The inherent elasticity of the material of a part of the connector 1 and / or the socket 2, in particular the locking bracket 4, one of the bearing elements or a spring element is designed such that the difference dr of the distances r2 'and r1 overcome during the coupling process and the locking abutment 21 can slide over the runner elements 411. In this case, the locking bracket 4 is stretched outwards, whereby the radius r1 increases. Alternatively or additionally, an elastic bearing element 5 (see Fig. 1b and Fig. 1c ) are provided, which allows a displacement of the locking bracket 4 by the distance dr.
