Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector and in particular a connector for connecting high-current lines, such as those used in or for motor vehicles with electric traction drives, having a first contact part having a first connector and a second contact part having second connector, wherein the contact parts in the assembled state the spring-loaded connector contact axially, wherein the first contact part has a three-dimensionally curved end face and the second contact part has a widening recess in its end face, so that there is an annular contact area between the contact parts, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the backup circuit is integrated into a control system for the high voltage source, the control system, the high voltage source is activated only when the backup circuit is closed due to a contacting of the contact elements of the connector.
  • the connectors are designed such that when plugging the connector first contact the contact parts connected to the high current lines and then only the contact elements for the backup circuit.
  • the contact elements of the backup circuit are first solved, whereby - if not already done - a Hochnapssbeaufschlagung the high current lines is interrupted. Only then are the contact parts connected to the high current lines out of contact.
  • a corresponding connector is for example from the DE 20 2011 107 900 U1 known.
  • the contact parts are designed as simple contact pins and contact sockets, which are plugged into each other when mating the connector.
  • Such an embodiment of the contact elements of the fuse circuit requires a mating of the connector in an exact alignment with each other, whereby the handling is difficult.
  • a generic connector is from the EP 0 836 245 A2 known which has an electrical connector with a plug receptacle and a in Cross-section round connector pin covered.
  • the plug receptacle on a receiving chamber, wherein in the receiving chamber a compressible in the axial direction, individual turns having coil spring is arranged, wherein the turns predominantly have a same major diameter.
  • the main diameter of the coil spring is greater than an outer diameter of the connector pin and that one or a few contact windings a relative to the main diameter of the coil spring have smaller contact diameter, which is also smaller than the outer diameter of the connector pin.
  • the present invention seeks to improve a particular intended for high voltage applications in or for motor vehicles connector.
  • the connector should be characterized by easy handling when mating, secure contact and / or low manufacturing costs.
  • the depression widens in a trumpet shape in the direction of the plug-side end of the second contact part.
  • the first and / or second contact part has a radial mobility at least in the area of the end face serving as a contact surface for example, by a corresponding storage in a housing of the associated connector can be realized.
  • the radial mobility can also be achieved by pivoting about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the corresponding contact part.
  • the resulting possibly resulting coaxiality or parallelism of the longitudinal axes of the two contacting contact parts does not present a relevant problem for the contact reliability because of the particular configuration of the contacting end faces.
  • a further advantage of the plug connection according to the invention can result from the fact that no filigree components are provided in the contact area are. At least from the point of view of component protection, therefore, it may be possible to dispense with an interlock fuse circuit and design the plug-in connection in the case of the preferably provided high-current applications as so-called hot-pluggable.
  • the end face of the first contact part can be part-spherical (that is, part-spherical).
  • Such an embodiment of the end face of the first contact part in particular in conjunction with a likewise preferred trumpet-shaped embodiment of the recess of the second contact part, can be characterized by a good Aerozentri mecanicsfunktion gleich and a particularly good insensitivity to Brockkoaxiali decisiv or non-parallelism of the longitudinal axes of the contact parts.
  • each of the plug connectors has a housing receiving the associated contact part.
  • at least one of the contact parts is spring-loaded axially displaceably mounted in the associated housing. This can represent a structurally simple realization of the axial spring load of the contact area formed between the contact parts.
  • the spring load of the contact region can then be realized preferably by means of a coil spring surrounding the axially displaceable contact part, which extends between a section, for example an outer circumferential part Bearing of the contact part and a portion, for example, an inner circumferential collar of the housing is supported.
  • a coil spring surrounding the axially displaceable contact part, which extends between a section, for example an outer circumferential part Bearing of the contact part and a portion, for example, an inner circumferential collar of the housing is supported.
  • the in the Fig. 1 shown connector comprises a first connector 1 (see. Fig. 2 and 3 ) and a second connector 2 (see. Fig. 4 and 5 ).
  • Both Connectors 1, 2 each comprise a housing 3 and an at least partially disposed in the respective housing contact part 4, 5.
  • Both contact parts 4, 5 have a plug-side end, which is provided for axial contact with the respective other contact part 4, 5.
  • the two contact parts 4, 5, a cable-side end, which is provided in each case for connection to a conductor 6 of a cable, not shown, moreover.
  • the cable-side ends of the contact parts 4, 5 are tubular, so that they can receive the conductor 6 of the associated cable end.
  • a mechanical connection between the contact parts 4, 5 and the conductors 6 can be done for example by soldering, including soldering holes in the contact parts 4, 5 are provided.
  • the contact part 4 of the first connector 1 has on the plug side a part-spherical end face 7. This contacts an end face of the contact part 5 of the second connector 2 in a recess 8, which is formed in a trumpet shape (in the direction of the plug-side end) widening. This results in an annular contact area between the contact parts 4, 5, which is also given when the two connectors 1, 2 or the two contact parts 4, 5 not exactly coaxial (with respect to the longitudinal axes of the circular cross-sections having contact parts 4, 5) aligned with each other.
  • the connector is relatively insensitive in terms of contact reliability with respect to positional and form tolerances of the components.
  • the contact part 4 of the first connector 1 is axially (ie in the directions defined by the longitudinal axis) movably mounted within the associated housing 3 and biased by a biased coil spring 9 in the direction of the second connector 2 ,
  • the coil spring is supported between the circumferential Bund 10 of the contact part 4 and a mounting sleeve 12, which in the assembly of the first connector 1 of the cable-side end is pressed into the receiving opening of the housing 3, thereby ensuring the cohesion of the first connector 1.
  • its contact part 5 is likewise inserted from the cable end into a centrally arranged receiving opening of the associated housing 3 and fixed there (for example by force fit by pressing in or materially by gluing).
  • the in the Fig. 6 to 8 illustrated second embodiment of a connector according to the invention also has a first connector 1 and a second connector 2.
  • the connector shown is the embodiment with a plurality of contact elements. Concretely, three pairs of contacting according to the invention contact elements 4, 5 are provided.
  • the individual contact elements 4, 5 are the first, in the Fig. 1 to 5 shown embodiments formed and integrated in a substantially identical manner in the associated housing 3.
  • the coil springs 9 acting on the contact elements 4 are not supported on fastening sleeves at the rear, but on an end face of a housing part of the multi-part housing 3.
  • the contact elements 4, 5 can be provided for the transmission of high current in a high voltage circuit.
  • these can be integrated into the electrical traction network of a (partially) electrified motor vehicle or into a charging system for this purpose.
  • high voltage according to the invention is understood to mean an electrical voltage of at least 30 V for alternating current and at least 60 V for direct voltage.
