Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen gedichteten Stecker für Fahrzeuge. Insbesondere zur Verwendung für Netzwerke in Fahrzeugen. Sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Netzwerkleitung mit diesem Stecker.The invention relates to a sealed connector for vehicles. Especially for use in networks in vehicles. As well as a method for making a network line with this plug.
In der Fahrzeugtechnik sind Netzwerke, die intelligente Knoten miteinander verbinden, unentbehrlich geworden. Durch Verwendung von Netzwerken und intelligenten Knoten, ist es möglich geworden, in Fahrzeugen Signalleitungen einzusparen. Gleichzeitig steigen Sicherheit und Komfort. Im Vergleich zur klassischen Verdrahtung von Fahrzeugen müssen jedoch bei Netzwerken zur Datenübertragung die technischen Besonderheiten beachtet werden. Dieses bedeutet, dass an die zu übertragenen Signale angepasste Leitungen verwendet werden müssen. Dazu verwendet man, aus der EDV bekannten, Koaxialkabel, Lichtleiter oder so genannte Twisted-Pair-Kabel. Twisted-Pair-Kabel sind Kabel mit verdrillten Adernpaaren, die geschirmt oder ungeschirmt verwendet werden. Die Aderpaare besitzen üblicherweise eine zweite, gemeinsame Isolierschicht, die dem Kabel mehr mechanische Stabilität verleiht. In der Praxis haben sich Twisted-Pair-Kabel als besonders praktisch erwiesen. Die Anzahl der Knoten in modernen Fahrzeugen steigt kontinuierlich mit der Entwicklung neuer Ausstatungsmerkmale. Da der Bauraum in Fahrzeugen begrenzt ist und auch das Gewicht eine Rolle spielt, werden miniaturisierte Steckersysteme eingesetzt. Miniaturisierte Stecksysteme sind in der Produktion von Fahrzeugen relativ schwierig zu verarbeiten. Es ist eine gewisse Robustheit bei der Montage erforderlich. Gleichzeitig steigen die Datenraten, die über die Netzwerke transportiert werden müssen. Daraus ergeben sich zusätzliche Herausforderungen, die gemeistert werden müssen. Die Knoten, Stecker und Leitungen müssen aufeinander angepasst sein um Störung der Signale zu vermeiden. Dazu ist es nötig die Leiter der Twisted-Pair-Kabel, von der Quelle bis zum Ziel, so dicht wie möglich beieinander zu führen. Eine bekannte Lösung ist, die Stecker modular aufzubauen und die Kabel für die Netzwerke als separate Leitunssätz zu betrachten. Dadurch kann das Handling bei der Herstellung des Kabelsatzes erleichtert werden, weil die Netzwerkverbindungskabel separat vorkonfektioniert werden können. Die Netzwerkverbindungskabel werden komplett, mit Steckern an den Enden, angeliefert und in Steckergehäuse des Kabelsatzes integriert. In Fahrzeugen müssen Kabelsätze natürlich gegen Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz gedichtet sein. Beispiele dafür zeigen
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung kann darin gesehen werden einen verbesserten, gedichteten Stecker bereitzustellen, der für Netzwerkanwendungen in Fahrzeugen eingesetzt werden kann und bei der Montage robust gegen Beschädigung der Kontaktelemente ist. Sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Verbindungsleitung mit dem gedichteten Stecker.The object of the invention can be seen to provide an improved, sealed connector which can be used for network applications in vehicles and is robust against damage of the contact elements during assembly. As well as a method of making a connection lead with the sealed plug.
Die Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des Anspruch 1 sowie durch das Verfahren nach Anspruch 10 gelöst.The object is solved by the subject matter of claim 1 and by the method according to
Vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen, der Beschreibung und der Zeichnung zu entnehmen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform weist die das zweite Steckergehäuse eine Stirnfläche und Seitenflächen auf. Die Seitenflächen erstrecken sich entgegen der Steckrichtung von der Stirnfläche dabei sind die Übergangsbereiche zwischen den Flächen abgerundet und/oder angefast.According to one embodiment, the second connector housing has an end face and side surfaces. The side surfaces extend against the insertion direction of the end face while the transition areas between the surfaces are rounded and / or chamfered.
Beim Einführen eines Gegenstands mit scharfen Ecken in eine Öffnung eines elastischen Materials kann das Material leicht einreißen. Durch das Abrunden oder Anfasen der Übergangsbereiche zwischen den Front und Seitenflächen wird das Hineingleiten des zweiten Steckers durch die Öffnung des Dichtmittels ermöglicht, ohne das Dichtmittel durch scharfe Kannten und Ecken zu beschädigen.When inserting an article with sharp corners into an opening of elastic material, the material may easily tear. By rounding or chamfering the transition areas between the front and side surfaces, the sliding in of the second connector through the opening of the sealant is made possible without damaging the sealant by sharp edges and corners.
Die abgerundeten bzw. angefasten Seitenkanten (Übergangsbereiche parallel zur Steckrichtung) verhindern beim hindurchschieben des zweiten Steckergehäuses eine Beschädigung der Öffnung des Dichtmittels. Bei Verwendung eines Steckergehäuses mit rundem Querschnitt entfällt diese Anforderung. Bei der vorliegenden Ausführungsform ist die Ausrichtungung des zweiten Steckerghäuses im ersten Steckergehäuse jedoch wichtig.The rounded or chamfered side edges (transition areas parallel to the plug-in direction) prevent the second plug housing from damaging the opening of the sealant. When using a plug housing with round cross section eliminates this requirement. However, in the present embodiment, the alignment of the second connector housing in the first connector housing is important.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die Frontkannten und die Seitenkanten (Übergangsbereiche), die beim Stecken des zweiten Steckergehäuses durch die Öffnung des Dichtmittels, am Dichtmittel entlang streichen, abgerundet und/oder angefast. Durch Entfernen von scharfen Kanten mittels Fasen oder abrunden wird die Gefahr einer Beschädigung der Öffnung des elastischen Dichtmittels beim Hindurchstecken das zweiten Steckergehäuses minimiert. Dabei ist es jedoch ausreichend nur die Bereiche des zweiten Steckergehäuses zu entschärfen, die beim Hindurchschieben mit dem Dichtmittel in Kontakt kommen.According to a further embodiment, the front edges and the side edges (transition areas) which, when the second plug housing is inserted through the opening of the sealing means, pass along the sealing means are rounded and / or chamfered. By removing sharp edges by chamfering or rounding off, the risk of damage to the opening of the elastic sealant when passing through the second connector housing is minimized. However, it is sufficient only to defuse the areas of the second connector housing, which come into contact with the sealant when pushed through.
Besonders bevorzugt ist das Dichtmittel einstückig aus einem elastischen Material gebildet. Durch den Einsatz eines einstückigen Dichtmittels werden die Produktionskosten reduziert. Im Vergleich zur Einzeladerabdichtungen ist das einstücktige Dichtmittel preiswerter herzustellen und bei der Montage kostengünstiger zu handhaben. Es können auch Schichtweise aufgebaute Dichtungen benutzt werden, mit denen sich unterschiedliche Durchgangsgeometrien realisieren lassen. Die kleineren, zweiten Steckergehäuse, lassen sich durch die elastischen Öffnungen hindurch stecken.Particularly preferably, the sealing means is integrally formed from an elastic material. The use of a one-piece sealant reduces production costs. Compared to single-wire seals, the one-piece sealant is cheaper to manufacture and easier to handle during assembly. It is also possible to use layered seals with which different passage geometries can be realized. The smaller, second connector housings can be inserted through the elastic openings.
Erfindungsgemäss weist das Dichtmittel an seiner ersten Seite, die der zweiten Seite des ersten Steckers zugewandt ist und/oder an seiner zweiten Seite, die dem Haltemittel zugewandt ist, Ausnehmungen auf. Das Dichtmittel, das in dieser Ausführungsform aus Silikon besteht, weist an seiner ersten Seite Ausnehmung auf. Je nach Ausführung des ersten Gehäuses können Vorsprünge des ersten Steckergehäuses in die Ausnehmungen ragen. Diese Vorsprünge halten das Dichtmittel in der gewünschten Position. So bleibt gewährleistet, dass die Öffnungen des Dichtmittels mit den Öffnungen des ersten Steckergehäuses Fluchten. Bevorzugt werden die Ausnehmungen jedoch nicht durch Gehäuseteile ausgefüllt. Die Flexibilität der Dichtung wird verbessert, wenn dem Silikon Raum zum Ausweichen geboten wird. Die Ausnehmungen auf der zweiten Seite des Dichtmittels stellen ebenfalls Raum zur Verfügung, in den sich das Material des Dichtmittels ausbreiten kann, wenn ein zweites Steckergehäuse durch die Öffnung geschoben wird. Da Silikon nicht kompressibel ist, wird so eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, die Öffnungen zu weiten ohne das Material in Richtung der Öffnung des ersten Steckergehäuses zu drücken.According to the invention, the sealing means on its first side, which faces the second side of the first connector and / or on its second side, which faces the retaining means, recesses. The sealant, which consists of silicone in this embodiment, has on its first side recess. Depending on the design of the first housing, projections of the first connector housing can protrude into the recesses. These projections hold the sealant in the desired position. This ensures that the openings of the sealant are aligned with the openings of the first connector housing. However, the recesses are preferably not filled by housing parts. The flexibility of the seal is improved if the silicone space is provided to evade. The recesses on the second side of the sealant also provide space in which the material of the sealant can spread when a second connector housing is pushed through the opening. Because silicone is not compressible, it provides a way to widen the apertures without forcing the material toward the opening of the first connector housing.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die mindestens eine Öffnung im Dichtmittel so ausgebildet, dass sie eine Netzwerkkabel dichtend umgibt. Die Größe der Öffnungen im Dichtmittel wird nach der Geometrie des zweiten Steckergehäuses und dem Durchmesser des Netzwerkkabels ausgelegt. Die Öffnung im Dichtmittel ist so bemessen, dass das zweite Gehäuse durch die Öffnung gleiten kann, ohne das Dichtmittel zu beschädigen. Wobei danach das Dichtmittel das Netzwerkkabel dicht umschließt.According to a further embodiment, the at least one opening in the sealing means is formed such that it sealingly surrounds a network cable. The size of the openings in the sealant is designed according to the geometry of the second connector housing and the diameter of the network cable. The opening in the sealant is sized so that the second housing can slide through the opening without damaging the sealant. Whereby the sealant tightly encloses the network cable.
Besonders bevorzugt umfasst das Dichtmittel Silikon oder besteht aus Silikon. Der Einsatz von Silikon hat, unter anderem, den Vorteil, dass bei der Herstellung von Silikon-Dichtmitteln meist etwas Ö1 auf den Dichtmitteln verbleibt, dieses erleichtert das Hindurchstecken der zweiten Gehäuse. Bei entsprechend angepasstem Design könnte auch ein Silikon-Dichtmittel an das erste Gehäuse angespritzt werden. Diese Ausführungsform wird hier allerdings nicht weiterverfolgt.Particularly preferably, the sealant comprises silicone or consists of silicone. The use of silicone has, among other things, the advantage that in the production of silicone sealants usually some Ö1 remains on the sealants, this facilitates the passing through the second housing. With a correspondingly adapted design, a silicone sealant could also be injected onto the first housing. However, this embodiment will not be pursued here.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist das Haltemittel mehrteilig ausgebildet. Der erfinderische elektrische Stecker wird in einer Reihenfolge montiert, in der das Haltemittel im letzten Arbeitsschritt an der zweiten Seite des ersten Steckergehäuses angebracht wird. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt ragen, speziell bei Steckern, die mehr als ein zweites Steckergehäuse aufnehmen, einige Netzwerkkabel aus der zweiten Seite des ersten Steckergehäuses. Die Mehrteiligkeit des Haltemittels erlaubt es, das Haltemittel um die Netzwerkkabel herum zu positionieren und das Dichtmittel, auch zwischen den Netzwerkkabeln, an der zweiten Seite des ersten Steckergehäuses zu halten.According to a further embodiment, the holding means is designed in several parts. The inventive electrical connector is mounted in an order in which the retaining means is mounted in the last step on the second side of the first connector housing. At this time, especially with plugs that house more than one second connector housing, some network cables protrude from the second side of the first connector housing. The multipartite nature of the holding means allows the holding means to be positioned around the network cables and to hold the sealing means, also between the network cables, on the second side of the first connector housing.
Besonders bevorzugt sind die Teile des Haltemittels beweglich miteinander verbunden. Die Teile des Haltemittels sind miteinander verbunden um das Handling bei der Montage zu verbessern. Die Teile müssen nicht passen zusammengesucht werden und können auch nicht leicht verloren gehen. Sie können zum Beispiel mittels Filmscharnieren miteinander verbunden sein. Durch die Position der Verbindung wird der Gebrauch vorgegeben. Die Teile können nur auf eine Art sinnvoll zusammengesetzt werden, sodass Fehler bei der Montage nahezu ausgeschlossen werden können. Bevorzugt weist ein oder mehrere Teile des Haltemittels, senkrecht zur Steckrichtung Ausnehmungen auf. Das Haltemittel kann so zwischen Netzwerkkabeln angeordnet werden, dass ein Netzwerkkabel in die Ausnehmungen aufgenommen wird. Ein weiteres Teil des Haltemittels, wird so mit dem ersten Teil verbunden, dass das Netzwerkkabel vom Haltemittel vollständig umschlossen ist. Besonders bei Steckern mit mehreren zweiten Steckergehäusen kann dieses Haltemittel einfach zwischen den Netzwerkkabeln angeordnet und zusammengebaut werden. Die Netzwerkleitungen müssen so nicht durch Öffnungen gefädelt werden, was die Montage sehr erleichtert. Nachdem die einzelnen Teile miteinander verbunden sind, bilden sie eine stabile Kappe.Particularly preferably, the parts of the holding means are movably connected to one another. The parts of the holding means are connected to each other to improve handling during assembly. The parts do not have to fit be collected and can not be easily lost. They can be connected to each other, for example, by means of film hinges. The position of the connection dictates the use. The parts can only be put together sensibly in one way, so that errors during installation can almost be ruled out. Preferably, one or more parts of the holding means, perpendicular to the insertion direction recesses. The holding means can be arranged between network cables so that a network cable is received in the recesses. Another part of the holding means is connected to the first part so that the network cable is completely enclosed by the holding means. Especially with plugs with several second plug housings this holding means can be easily arranged and assembled between the network cables. The network cables do not need to be threaded through openings, which makes assembly much easier. After the individual parts are connected together, they form a stable cap.
Erfindungsgemäss weist das Haltemittel in Steckrichtung oder/und entgegen der Steckrichtung Vorsprünge auf. Die Vorsprünge des Haltemittels, die in Steckrichtung ragen, werden beim letzten Schritt der Montage des Haltemittels, in die Ausnehmungen des Dichtmittels gesteckt. Durch die Vorsprünge wird der Raum ausgefüllt, den das Dichtmittel beim Hindurchstecken des zweiten Steckergehäuses benötigt um die Öffnung zu erweitern. Dadurch kann sich die Öffnung des Dichtmittels nicht erweitern und liegt umlaufend an der Isolierung des Twisted-Pair-Kabels. Dieses verbessert die Abdichtung. Die Vorsprünge des Haltemittels die von der zweiten Seite des ersten Steckergehäuses entgegen der Steckrichtung ragen, haben eine mechanisch stabilisierende Wirkung auf das Haltemittel.According to the invention, the holding means in the insertion direction and / or opposite to the insertion direction on projections. The projections of the holding means, which protrude in the plug-in direction are inserted in the last step of mounting the holding means in the recesses of the sealant. By the projections of the space is filled, which requires the sealant when passing through the second connector housing to expand the opening. As a result, the opening of the sealant can not expand and lies circumferentially on the insulation of the twisted pair cable. This improves the seal. The projections of the holding means projecting from the second side of the first plug housing opposite to the plug-in direction have a mechanical stabilizing effect on the holding means.
Die Anordnung der Vorsprünge kann so gewählt werden, das sich ein Wasserreservoir bildet, wenn ein Wasserstrahl auf das Haltemittel trifft. Das Wasser zwischen den Vorsprüngen senkt den Wasserdruck im Bereich zwischen Dichtmittel und Isolation des Netzwerkkabels.The arrangement of the projections can be chosen so that forms a water reservoir when a jet of water hits the holding means. The water between the protrusions lowers the water pressure in the area between the sealant and the insulation of the network cable.
Besonders bevorzugt wird bei der Herstellung der Verbindungsleitung das zweite Steckergehäuse vollständig durch die Öffnung im Dichtmittel hindurchgesteckt. Das vereinfacht das Handling bei der Montage. Hier handelt es sich um sehr kleine Stecksysteme, die in herkömmlicher Weise nur schwer zu bearbeiten sind.Particularly preferred in the production of the connecting line, the second connector housing is completely inserted through the opening in the sealant. This simplifies handling during assembly. These are very small plug-in systems that are difficult to machine in a conventional way.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform wird zuerst ein Teil des Haltemittels zwischen die Netzwerkkabel gebracht und dann werden die übrigen Teile um die Netzwerkkabel herumgelegt. Dadurch entsteht eine geschlossene Fläche, durch die die Netzwerkkabel hindurch ragen. Aus den Einzelteilen wird eine massive Platte gebildet, die das Dichtmittel am Gehäuse hält und die Netzwerkkabel zusätzlich abdichtet.According to another embodiment, first a part of the holding means is placed between the network cables and then the remaining parts are wrapped around the network cables. This creates a closed surface through which the network cables protrude. From the individual parts, a solid plate is formed, which holds the sealant to the housing and additionally seals the network cable.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform wird das Haltemittel so angeordnet, dass die Vorsprünge des Haltemittels in die Ausnehmungen des Dichtmittels ragen. Die Vorsprünge verdrängen das Dichtmittel (hier Silikon) aus den Ausnehmungen und drücken das Dichtmittel gegen die Netzwerkkabel. Die Abdichtung wird so verbessert und das Dichtmittel in Position gehalten.According to a further embodiment, the holding means is arranged so that the projections of the holding means protrude into the recesses of the sealant. The projections displace the sealant (here silicone) from the recesses and press the sealant against the network cable. The seal is improved and the sealant held in position.
