Description

Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule Beschreibung  Support frame for connector modules Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1.  The invention relates to a holding frame for connector modules according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
Derartige Halterahmen werden benötigt, um einen modular aufgebauten Steckverbinder bereitstellen zu können. Mehrere, verschiedene Steckverbindermodule können beliebig kombiniert in einen solchen Rahmen eingesetzt werden. Der Halterahmen hält die Steckverbindermodule zusammen und fixiert diese zueinander. Anschließend kann der Halterahmen in ein Steckverbindergehäuse eingesetzt und in diesem fixiert werden. Der Steckverbinder kann mit einem passenden, ebenfalls modularen Gegensteckverbinder verbunden werden. Alternativ kann der Halterahmen als sogenannter Anbaurahmen an eine Gehäuseoder Gerätewand eingesetzt und befestigt werden. Such support frames are needed to provide a modular connector can. Several, different connector modules can be used arbitrarily combined in such a frame. The holding frame holds the connector modules together and fixes them to each other. Subsequently, the holding frame can be inserted into a connector housing and fixed in this. The connector can be connected to a matching, also modular mating connector. Alternatively, the support frame can be used and attached as a so-called attachment frame to a housing or device wall.
Mit dieser Art von modularen Steckverbindern ist eine Vielzahl individueller Steckverbinder kombinier- und zusammenstellbar. Es werden lediglich verschiedene, standardisierte Steckverbindermodule, sowie ein in dieser Erfindung beschriebener Halterahmen benötigt. With this type of modular connectors, a variety of individual connectors can be combined and assembled. Only different, standardized connector modules, as well as a support frame described in this invention are needed.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Die DE19707120C1 zeigt einen Halterahmen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen. Die Steckverbindermodule sind in den Halterahmen eingesetzt, wobei Haltemittel an den Steckverbindermodulen mit an gegenüberliegenden Rahmenteilen des Halterahmens vorgesehenen Ausnehmungen zusammenwirken und die Steckverbindermodule formschlüssig in dem Halterahmen halten.  DE19707120C1 shows a holding frame for holding connector modules. The connector modules are inserted into the support frame, wherein retaining means cooperate with the connector modules provided with on opposite frame parts of the support frame recesses and hold the connector modules form-fitting manner in the support frame.
Bei dieser und anderen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen gibt es - zweckmäßig - viele verschiedene Steckverbindermodule die in einen solchen Halterahmen eingesetzt werden können. Die verschiedenen Steckverbindermodule besitzen verschiedenste, in den Modulen aufgenommene elektrische und/oder pneumatische und/oder optische und/oder hydraulische Kontaktelemente in verschiedenen Dimensionen. In this and other known from the prior art solutions there are - useful - many different connector modules which can be used in such a holding frame. The various connector modules have a variety of electrical and / or pneumatic and / or optical and / or hydraulic contact elements in various dimensions accommodated in the modules.
Negativ an den im Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen wirkt sich die Vielzahl verschiedener Steckverbindermodule aus, welche jeweils unterschiedliche Toleranzen aufweisen. Vor allem in den Steckbereichen der Kontaktelemente (Stift- und Buchsenkontakte) sind unterschiedliche Toleranzen und Stecktiefen nötig und bauartbedingt vorgeschrieben. Negative to the solutions known in the prior art affects the variety of different connector modules, each having different tolerances. Especially in the plug-in areas of the contact elements (pin and socket contacts) different tolerances and insertion depths are necessary and mandatory due to the design.
Durch diese bauartbedingten Toleranzunterschiede verschiedener Steckverbindermodule kann es je nach Kombination der Steckverbindermodule in einem Halterahmen zu Fehlern zweier zusammengehöriger Steckverbindermodule kommen. Sowohl nicht vollständig kontaktierte Steckverbindermodule können die Folge sein, als auch Steckverbindermodule die "übersteckt" und mit zu großer Kraft kontaktiert sind. Due to this design-related tolerance differences of various connector modules, it can come depending on the combination of connector modules in a support frame to errors in two related connector modules. Both not fully contacted connector modules may be the result, as well as connector modules that are "plugged" and contacted with too much force.
In beiden Fällen wirkt sich dies negativ auf die Kontaktierung und/oder die verschiedenen Komponenten des Steckverbinders aus. Eine fehlerfreie Kontaktierung kann durch einen "Wackelkontakt" oder durch mechanisches Versagen einzelnen Komponenten in Folge einer zu großen Kraft nicht mehr sichergestellt werden. In both cases, this has a negative effect on the contact and / or the various components of the connector. A faultless contact can no longer be ensured by a "loose contact" or by mechanical failure of individual components as a result of excessive force.
Aufgabenstellung task
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen modularen Steckverbinder so auszugestalten, dass Toleranzunterschiede verschiedener Steckverbindermodule ausgeglichen werden. Eine vollständige und sichere Kontaktierung aller im modularen Steckverbinder vorhandenen Steckverbindermodule soll sichergestellt werden. Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. The object of the invention is to design a modular connector so that tolerance differences of various connector modules are compensated. Complete and secure contacting of all plug connector modules present in the modular plug connector is to be ensured. The object is solved by the characterizing features of independent claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Bei der Erfindung handelt es sich um einen Halterahmen, welcher im Wesentlichen rechteckig ausgeführt ist. An gegenüberliegenden Rahmenteilen weißt der Halterahmen Ausnehmungen auf. Diese Ausnehmungen sind zur Aufnahme von Haltemitteln vorgesehen, die sich an Steckverbindermodulen befinden. Durch die Aufnahme mehrere Steckverbindermodule in dem Halterahmen wird ein sogenannter modularer Steckverbinder gebildet. In the invention, it is a holding frame, which is designed substantially rectangular. On opposite frame parts, the holding frame knows recesses. These recesses are intended to receive retaining means located on connector modules. By receiving a plurality of connector modules in the support frame, a so-called modular connector is formed.
Erfindungsgemäß sind an dem Halterahmen Federelemente vorgesehen, welche auf in den Halterahmen eingesetzte Steckverbindermodule einwirken. Dabei erzeugen die Federelemente zweckmäßig eine in Steckrichtung wirkende Kraft auf die Steckverbindermodule. Durch spielend gelagerte Haltemittel der Steckverbindermodule in den Ausnehmungen des Halterahmens können die Steckverbindermodule entgegen der Federkraft bewegt werden. According to the invention spring elements are provided on the holding frame, which act on inserted into the holding frame connector modules. The spring elements expediently generate a force acting in the plugging direction on the connector modules. By playfully mounted retaining means of the connector modules in the recesses of the support frame, the connector modules can be moved against the spring force.
Die Federkraft der Federelemente bewegt die eingesetzten Steckverbindermodule immer wieder in eine Endposition in Steckrichtung. Beim Verbinden eines moduiaren Steckverbinders mit einem entsprechenden moduiaren Gegensteckverbinder können so Toleranzen der Steckverbindermodule einzeln und individuell ausgeglichen werden. The spring force of the spring elements moves the connector modules used repeatedly in an end position in the insertion direction. When connecting a moduiaren connector with a corresponding moduiaren mating connector so tolerances of the connector modules can be individually and individually compensated.
Sofern nicht alle Steckverbindermodul-Paare gleichzeitig in ihre vollständig zusammengefügte Endposition gelangen, wird eine Überste- ckung der Paare dadurch verhindert, dass die Module sich gegen die Kraft der Federelemente, entgegen der Steckrichtung im Halterahmen verschieben. Unless all connector module pairs reach their fully assembled end position at the same time, they will prevent the pairs from overlapping each other as the modules move against them Force the spring elements, move against the direction of insertion in the holding frame.
Durch die federbeaufschlagte Lagerung der Steckverbindermodule im Halterahmen wird gewährleistet, dass alle Steckverbindermodule mit ihren Gegensteckverbindermodulen vollständig kontaktiert und unterschiedliche Toleranzen ausgeglichen sind. Due to the spring-loaded mounting of the connector modules in the support frame ensures that all connector modules completely contacted with their mating connector modules and different tolerances are balanced.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Halterahmen 1 mit sechs eingesetzten Steckverbindermodulen 40, sowie einen steckkompatiblen Halterahmen 1 ' mit ebenfalls steckkompatiblen Steckverbindermodulen 40' wie er aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist. Die dargestellten Halterahmen 1 und 1 ' sind in ihrem Aufbau identisch und hier nur der Vollständigkeit halber beide gezeigt. Im Folgenden wird sich daher nur auf den Halterahmen 1 bezogen. Der Halterahmen 1 ist in einer hier gelenkigen Ausführung gezeigt. Diese ermöglicht es die beiden, den Halterahmen 1 bildenden Rahmenteile 10 entlang eines Scharniers zu kippen, um Steckverbindermodule 40 einzusetzen oder zu entfernen. Auf die genaue Mechanik wird nicht weiter eingegangen, da diese nicht Bestandteil der vorliegenden Erfindung ist. Es sei an dieser Stelle nur so viel gesagt, dass aus dem Stand der Technik bereits eine Vielzahl von mehrteiligen Halterahmen 1 bekannt sind. 1 shows a holding frame 1 with six inserted connector modules 40, and a plug-compatible support frame 1 'with also plug-compatible connector modules 40' as it is known from the prior art. The illustrated support frames 1 and 1 'are identical in construction and both shown here only for the sake of completeness. The following therefore refers only to the support frame 1. The support frame 1 is shown in an articulated embodiment here. This allows the two, the support frame 1 forming frame parts 10 to tilt along a hinge to insert connector modules 40 or remove. On the exact mechanics will not be discussed, since this is not part of the present invention. It should be said at this point only so much that from the prior art, a plurality of multi-part support frame 1 are already known.
Bei im Stand der Technik bekannten Halterahmen 1 sind jeweils in besagten Rahmenteilen 10 Ausnehmungen 1 1 vorgesehen. Die Ausnehmungen 1 1 dienen zur Aufnahme, Positionierung und Fixierung der Steckverbindermodule 40. Dafür weißen die bekannten Steckverbindermodule 40 Haltemittel 41 auf. Die Haltemittel 41 entsprechen in ihrer Form den Ausnehmungen 1 1 der Rahmenteile 10. In known in the prior art support frame 1 10 recesses 1 1 are provided in each of the frame parts. The recesses 11 serve to receive, position and fix the connector modules 40. For white, the known connector modules 40 holding means 41 on. The holding means 41 correspond in shape to the recesses 11 of the frame parts 10.
Durch Übereinstimmung der Form von Ausnehmungen 1 1 und Haltemittel 41 wird ein sicherer Sitz der Steckverbindermodule 40 im Halterahmen 1 sichergestellt. Die Steckverbindermodule 40 haben dadurch einen festen, spielfreien Sitz zueinander. By matching the shape of recesses 11 and retaining means 41, a secure fit of the connector modules 40 in the support frame 1 is ensured. The connector modules 40 thereby have a tight, backlash-free fit to each other.
In der Fig. 2 ist ein Teilausschnitt eines erfindungsgemäßen Halterahmens 1 in einer ersten Ausführungsform dargestellt. Gezeigt ist ein Teilausschnitt des Rahmenteils 10 in der Seitenansicht. In dem Rahmenteil 10 ist beispielhaft eine Ausnehmung 1 1 gezeigt. In der Ausnehmen 1 1 ist - wie auch aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt - ein Haltemittel 41 eines Steckverbindermoduls 40 aufgenommen. FIG. 2 shows a partial section of a holding frame 1 according to the invention in a first embodiment. Shown is a partial section of the frame part 10 in the side view. In the frame part 10, a recess 1 1 is shown by way of example. In the exception 1 1 is - as well known from the prior art - a holding means 41 of a connector module 40 added.
Im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik aus Fig. 1 ist die Ausnehmung 1 1 jedoch erfindungsgemäß entgegen der Steckrichtung S größer dimensioniert, als das Haltemittel 41 . Somit sitzt das Haltemittel 41 nicht spielfrei in der Ausnehmung 1 1 wie bisher bekannt. Die vergrößerte Ausnehmung 1 1 ermöglicht eine lineare Bewegung des Haltemittels 41 in der Ausnehmung 1 1 entlang der Steckrichtung S. In contrast to the prior art of Fig. 1, the recess 1 1, however, according to the invention against the insertion direction S dimensioned larger than the holding means 41st Thus, the holding means 41 is not backlash in the recess 1 1 as previously known. The enlarged recess 1 1 allows a linear movement of the holding means 41 in the recess 1 1 along the connecting direction S.
Des Weiteren verfügt der erfindungsgemäße Halterahmen 1 über ein Federelement 12, welches in der Ausnehmung 1 1 aufgenommen ist. Dieses ist vorzugsweise an dem, entgegen der Steckrichtung S liegenden Wandabschnitt 13 vorgesehen. Furthermore, the holding frame 1 according to the invention has a spring element 12 which is received in the recess 11. This is preferably provided on the, opposite to the insertion direction S wall portion 13.
Das Federelement 12 ist so angeordnet, dass es eine in Steckrichtung S weisende Kraft auf das Haltemittel 41 ausübt. Bei Einwirkung einer Kraft auf das Steckverbindermodul 40 entgegen der Steckrichtung S kann dieses so verschoben werden. Mittels des Federelements 12 wird das Steckverbindermodul 40 bei Nachlassen der Kraft wieder zurück verschoben. The spring element 12 is arranged so that it exerts a pointing in the insertion direction S force on the holding means 41. Upon the action of a force on the connector module 40 against the insertion direction S, this can be moved so. By means of the spring element 12, the connector module 40 is moved back on release of the force.
Der Teilausschnitt des Halterahmens 1 aus Fig. 2 ist in Fig. 3 noch einmal in einer Schnittdarstellung A-A gezeigt. Erkennbar ist das ansatzweise gezeigte Steckverbindermodul 40, mit Haltemittel 41 . Das Haltemittel 41 ist in die Ausnehmen 1 1 des Rahmenteils 10 eingesetzt. Das Federelement 12 ist an dem, entgegen der Steckrichtung S befindlichen Wandabschnitt 13 der Ausnehmen 1 1 angebracht. The partial section of the holding frame 1 of Fig. 2 is shown in Fig. 3 again in a sectional view A-A. Visible is the connector module 40 shown in the beginning, with holding means 41. The holding means 41 is inserted into the recesses 11 of the frame part 10. The spring element 12 is attached to the, located opposite to the insertion direction S wall portion 13 of the exception 1 1.
Die Befestigung des Federelements 12 an dem Wandabschnitt 13 kann beispielsweise durch Nieten, Kleben, Rasten, Schrauben oder Schweißen realisiert werden. The attachment of the spring element 12 to the wall portion 13 can be realized for example by riveting, gluing, locking, screwing or welding.
Vom Wandabschnitt 13 aus, übt das Federelement 12 eine in Steckrichtung S wirkende Kraft auf das Haltemittel 41 aus. Diese Kraft bewirkt eine Zwangsbewegung des Haltemittels 41 und somit des gesamten Steckverbindermoduls 40 in Steckrichtung S. From the wall section 13, the spring element 12 exerts a force acting in the insertion direction S on the retaining means 41. This force causes a forced movement of the holding means 41 and thus the entire connector module 40 in the insertion direction S.
Die Fig. 4 und Fig. 5 zeigen eine, entsprechend den Fig. 2 und Fig. 3, zweite Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Halterahmens 1 . Die Fig. 4 ist entsprechend der Fig. 2 ein Teilausschnitt eines Rahmenteils 10; die Fig. 5 ist ein Querschnitt des Teilausschnitts aus Fig. 4. FIGS. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the holding frame 1 according to the invention, corresponding to FIGS. 2 and 3. The Fig. 4 is corresponding to Figure 2 is a partial section of a frame part 10. FIG. 5 is a cross-section of the partial section of FIG. 4. FIG.
In dieser zweiten Ausführungsform ist das Federelement 12 nicht in der Ausnehmung 1 des Rahmenteils 10 vorgesehen, sondern wird durch ein flächig ausgebildetes Basisteil 12.1 gebildet. Dieses Basisteil 12.1 entspricht im Wesentlichen der Form des Rahmenteils 10 und ist auf dessen Innenseite, den Steckverbindermodulen 40 zugewendet, angeordnet. In this second embodiment, the spring element 12 is not provided in the recess 1 of the frame part 10, but is formed by a flat-shaped base part 12.1. This base part 12.1 substantially corresponds to the shape of the frame part 10 and is on the inside, the connector modules 40 facing arranged.
Von dem Basisteil 12.1 weisen Federarme 12.0 in die Ausnehmungen 1 1 hinein. Diese sind zur Kraftübertragung auf die Haltemittel 41 vorgesehen. Um die Gegenkraft auf das Rahmenteil 10 zu übertragen weist das Basisteil 12.1 zudem einen abgewinkelten Haltebereich 12.2 auf. Der Haltebe- reicht 12.2 umgreift in Steckrichtung S den Halterahmen 10. So ist eine in Steckrichtung S wirkende Kraftübertragung vom Halterahmen 10 auf die Haltemittel 41 möglich. From the base part 12.1 have spring arms 12.0 in the recesses 1 1 inside. These are provided for transmitting power to the holding means 41. In order to transmit the counterforce to the frame part 10, the base part 12.1 also has an angled holding area 12.2. The holding area 12.2 surrounds the holding frame 10 in the insertion direction S. Thus, a force transmission acting in the insertion direction S from the holding frame 10 to the holding means 41 is possible.
In einer besonderen Ausführungsform wäre es zudem möglich, auf den Haltebereich 12.2 zu verzichten und stattdessen das Basisteil 12.1 am Rahmenteil 10 mittels Schrauben, Nieten, Schweißen oder Kleben zu befestigen. In a particular embodiment, it would also be possible to dispense with the holding area 12.2 and instead to fix the base part 12.1 on the frame part 10 by means of screws, rivets, welding or gluing.
Die Fig. 6 zeigt schließlich den Halterahmen 1 aus Fig. 5 im Vergleich zweier Zustände. Die Fig. 6a entspricht der Fig. 5, in welcher sich das Haltemittel 41 und somit auch das Steckverbindermodul 40 an einer in Steckrichtung S vordersten Stellung befinden. Durch den Federarm 12.0 des Federelements 12 erfährt das Haltemittel 41 eine Zwangsbewegung in diese Position. Finally, FIG. 6 shows the holding frame 1 from FIG. 5 in comparison of two states. FIG. 6a corresponds to FIG. 5, in which the holding means 41 and thus also the connector module 40 are located at a foremost position in the insertion direction S. By the spring arm 12.0 of the spring element 12, the holding means 41 undergoes a forced movement into this position.
Im Vergleich zu dieser Stellung befinden sich Haltemittel 41 und Steckverbindermodul 40 in der Fig. 6b in einer, in Steckrichtung S gesehenen, hinteren Stellung. Das erfindungsmäßige Federelement 12 - hier der Feder- arm 12.0 des Federelements 12 - ermöglicht bei Krafteinwirkung auf das Steckverbindermodul 40 entgegen der Steckrichtung S ein Verschieben des Steckverbindermoduls 40. So können erfindungsgemäß Toleranzen verschiedenartiger Steckverbindermodule 40 ausgeglichen werden. Eine federbeaufschlagte Steckung von Steckverbindermodulen 40 ist möglich, wodurch eine sichere Kontak- tierung der Kontaktelemente gewährleistet werden kann. Compared to this position are holding means 41 and connector module 40 in Fig. 6b in a, seen in the insertion direction S, rear position. The inventive spring element 12 - here the spring arm 12.0 of the spring element 12 - allows for force acting on the connector module 40 against the insertion direction S, a displacement of the connector module 40. Thus, according to the invention tolerances of various connector modules 40 can be compensated. A spring-loaded connection of connector modules 40 is possible, whereby a secure Kontak- tation of the contact elements can be ensured.
