Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sealing element for an electric line according to the features of claim 1.
  • the present invention therefore relates in particular to a sealing element for sealing a stranded conductor bundle for a connector comprising a substantially cylindrical sealing body with at least two stranded conductor channels, preferably a plurality of different stranded conductor channels with different cross sections, the respective stranded conductor channels tapering at least one inner section or into the stranded conductor channel extend and thereby have a cross-section A reducing or tapering bulges.
  • the DE 21 60 095 A1 relates to a connector with coupling ring nut on one of the two connector parts, coding means for unmistakable plugging and a kink protection on the cable lead-out.
  • a sealing element is known as well as a charging connector, which is equipped with such a sealing element and also a mounting method for mounting the sealing element.
  • water If water is applied to one end of such a line, the water can be transported along the stranded conductor to the other end of the line, thus possibly also into the connector. This can be prevented for example by a sealing element at one end of the line at the input of the connector, which prevents the liquid from entering. Water can also flow by capillary action along the line into the interior of the connector, which is also undesirable. This problem occurs in particular in stranded conductors, which can enable water transport both between the individual wires of the strands and between the stranded conductor and the surrounding jacket.
  • Connectors and / or applications connected to an electrical line must be adequately protected against liquid entry.
  • the above object is achieved by a sealing element having the features of claim 1 and a connector having the features of claim 6.
  • the basic idea of the present invention is first to design a sealing element such that the desired pressing forces at suitable passages of the stranded conductor channels on the stranded conductors act and further pressing forces continue to occur as soon as the sealing element according to the invention are used in a proper connector or a receiving space of a connector housing.
  • the stranded conductor channels are correspondingly formed so that at at least one inner portion, a bulge extending into the strand conductor channel is provided.
  • the strands of Litzenleiterbündels z. B. at the end of a connector housing are passed through said sealing element.
  • the stranded conductor channels produce an increased pressure on the strand insulation at the said points of the bulges, which entails a particularly effective seal and, in particular, intercepts existing tolerances in the production of stranded conductors.
  • a sealing element for sealing a stranded conductor bundle for a connector comprising a substantially cylindrical sealing body with at least two stranded conductor channels with a cross section A, wherein the respective strandedient channels at least an inner portion of a hineinerumblende in the strand conductor channel and thereby the cross section A tapered or having reducing bulge. It is advantageously further provided that the stranded conductor channels have a substantially cylindrical shape with a round cross section.
  • the sealing body on its outer circumference on a circumferential groove.
  • the groove is arranged in an advantageous manner between two circumferential ring segment sections approximately centrally on the sealing element.
  • the stranded conductor channels extend substantially along or parallel to an imaginary cylinder axis through the cylindrical sealing body.
  • the diameter of the stranded conductor channels is intended differently designed for performing different stranded conductors of a stranded conductor bundle.
  • the sealing body has on its outer circumference at least one peripheral bulge, which projects beyond the envelope surface of the cylindrical shape of the sealing element.
  • protrude beyond the envelope surface of the cylindrical shape is to be understood that a substantially circumferential portion of the sealing element protrudes further outward over an envelope, which is formed as an imaginary envelope of the actual outer circumference of the cylinder shape defining body.
  • the sealing body also has one or more punctiform bulges on its outer circumference. According to the invention, the bulges are formed in their shape as knobs and protrude beyond or out of the envelope surface of the cylindrical shape.
  • the nubs are formed as bulges on the aforementioned circumferential bulge and are therefore even further than the circumferential bulge relative to the envelope surface of the cylindrical shape outward.
  • These nubs can be determined in particular as a positional positioning of the sealing element in a connector housing, so that they can engage in corresponding recesses of the holes in the connector housing.
  • Another aspect of the present invention relates to a connector with a sealing element according to the invention. It is therefore provided in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a connector with a sealing element, wherein the connector receives the sealing element in a cylindrical receiving space of its connector housing and wherein the inner diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing element, preferably smaller than the outer diameter of the sealing element in the region outside circumferential bulge.
  • the connector is therefore advantageously designed so that in the receiving space of the connector housing in the cylindrical wall corresponding openings or holes for engagement of the knob-like bulges of the sealing element are formed.
  • Fig. 2 an embodiment of a sealing element 1 according to the invention is shown.
  • the sealing element 1 serves to receive a Litzenleiterbündels 30, as shown in the Fig. 3, 4 and 5 is shown.
  • the stranded conductor bundle 30 has individual stranded conductors 31, which pass through the in Fig. 2 shown substantially cylindrical stranded conductor channels 11 are pushed.
  • the sealing element 1 shows a substantially cylindrical shape with an imaginary cylinder axis 16.
  • the stranded conductor channels 11 extend substantially parallel to the cylinder axis 16.
  • two of the stranded conductor channels 11 are formed with a larger cross-section than the two other adjacent stranded conductor channels 11.
  • two bulges 13 are formed in the axial direction of the cylinder axis 16 in the Litzenleiterkanälen 11, resulting in a wave-like shape within the Litzenleiterkanals 11 results.
  • the sealing element 1 in the region of its sealing body 10 has an outer circumferential groove 14.
  • the groove 14 is arranged centrally approximately at half the height of the sealing body height.
  • the sealing body 10 has at its outer periphery 12 a first circumferential bulge 15 at one end or adjacent to one end of the sealing body 10 and a further outer circumferential curvature 15 adjacent to its front end of the sealing body 10.
  • the buckle 15 is as a outer circumferential bead so arranged on the sealing body 10 that the bead protrudes beyond the envelope surface of the cylindrical shape to generate a pressing force against the inner wall of the connector housing 20th
  • knobs 17 engage in the openings 23, but do not protrude through the openings 23 and holes 23 therethrough.
  • FIG. 5 one sees a perspective view of the completely assembled version of a connector 2 according to the invention with mounted sealing element 1.
  • the invention is not limited in its embodiment to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, Rather, a number of variants is conceivable which makes use of the illustrated solution even with fundamentally different types of use.
