Definitions

  • 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.
  • such a connector is attached via a cable to the rear of a motor vehicle or connected thereto.
  • the connector is inserted into a socket attached to the trailer and fixed by a locking bracket in this position.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the locking bracket should be simple and stable and inexpensive to produce.
  • 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.
  • the connector can be connected to a corresponding second connector, a socket or a plug on the towing vehicle and the trailer.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the locking elements on curved runner elements facilitate the sliding of the locking bracket on the locking abutment.
  • locking surfaces are provided to which the locking abutment are stored after locking the connector.
  • the inventive locking bracket is made in one piece.
  • materials both metallic sheets, alloys or plastics can be used.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the runner element is designed in a preferred embodiment as a segment of a hollow cylinder.
  • depressions are provided at the transition between the runner elements and the latching surface.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a made of a metallic sheet locking clip is preferably made by stamping.
  • the locking bracket is made of a UV-resistant plastic.
  • the locking bracket is preferably made by injection molding in this embodiment.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the connector according to the invention comprises 7 or 15 poles.
  • the connector is attached in a configuration according to the invention to a cable.
  • this cable is designed as a spiral cable.
  • connectors according to the invention are attached to both ends of a cable, preferably a spiral cable.

  • a cable feed 3 is also provided, through which a cable can be inserted into the connector 1.
  • the cable feed 3 preferably fulfills the function of a kink protection and / or a strain relief.
  • Fig. 1b shows the connector 1 of Fig. 1a after rotation of the locking bracket 4 in a rotational position in which the runner elements 411 slide over locking abutment 21, which are mounted on both sides of a schematically illustrated socket 2, which corresponds to the connector 1.
  • Fig. 1c shows the locked with the socket 2 connector 1 of Fig. 1b after a further rotation of the locking clip 4, during which the locking abutment 21 has been guided over the running surfaces 4110 of the runner elements 411 and a depression 412 into a latching position.
  • a detailed view in Fig. 1c shows how the locking abutment 21 abut in the locking position on a locking surface 413.
