Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug connection device for an electrical contact coupling of a track-guided vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle.
  • electrical contact couplings are used to transmit signals and power transmission between two adjacent car bodies of a multi-unit vehicle such as a train.
  • the arrangement and size of the electrical contact couplings used are dependent on the available space on the vehicle, the number of signals to be transmitted and the requirements of the car manufacturer or the railway operator.
  • plug connections are usually provided for to be continued by a tension member to an adjacent tension member lines.
  • the electrical contact couplings attached to the tension members are moved toward one another and aligned with one another in such a way that the connectors engage and make electrical contact. All plug-in connections are designed redundantly complementary and so left and right of a central axis arranged that the track-guided vehicle is reversible.
  • a possible structure for the above-mentioned connectors provides that a carrier has a plurality of contacts attached thereto, which mechanically, for example by means of a permanent connection part connected to the carrier.
  • the carrier may comprise a conductor track, by means of which the redundantly guided contacts are electrically connected.
  • the plug connection device for an electrical contact coupling of a track-guided vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, for connecting a plurality of electrical conductors of two track-guided vehicles, wherein the electrical conductors are designed for transmitting electrical signals and / or electrical power, has a carrier and a plurality of contacts attached thereto on.
  • the contacts are arranged on both sides of a central axis. Contacts on one side of the central axis are complementary to contacts on the other side of the central axis. At least one contact on one side of the central axis is redundant to a contact on the other side of the central axis.
  • the carrier has a signal position for signal guidance and a shielding position for signal shielding.
  • a flat equipotential layer with low impedance can be formed in the region of the signal layer, as a result of which a significantly improved signal shielding can be achieved in the region of the carrier, in particular in the region of the contacts.
  • the radiation of unwanted electromagnetic radiation is effectively prevented by the Schirmungslage and thus facilitates compliance with relevant EMC regulations.
  • the signal layer for electrical connection of a contact on one side of the central axis is formed with a redundant contact on the other side of the central axis. Due to the presence of the Schirmungslage so the redundancy between redundant contacts can be maintained particularly reliable.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment provides that the signal layer extends at least partially parallel to the Schirmungslage.
  • a largely equal spacing between the signal layer and the Schirmungslage allows a particularly reliable shielding of possible interference signals from the signal layer through the Schirmungslage.
  • the signal layer and the shield layer are electrically isolated from each other. In this way forms with the Schirmungslage a large-area situation with low impedance, which prevents irradiated or radiated signals from further propagation.
  • an electrically insulating layer is provided between the signal layer and the shielding layer.
  • This electrically insulating layer can be formed, for example, by an insulating printed circuit board base material and thus ensure effective electrical separation between the signal layer and the shielding layer.
  • the contacts comprise a fixed-connection part and a plug element or a socket element
  • the plug connection device has a plug-in side, to which a plug element or a socket element can be connected to the respective other element of another plug connection device, and a connection side, to the electrical conductors of the plug connection device be supplied.
  • the shielding layer is arranged in front of the signal layer in the direction from the connection side to the plug-in side.
  • radiation from the plug side in the direction of the connection side and vice versa is damped from the connection side to the plug side.
  • a shield connection device for contacting a shielding of an electrical conductor with the shielding layer is provided on the connection side.
  • the shield connection device can enable both mechanical and electrical contacting of the shielding of the electrical conductor with the shielding layer.
  • a low electrical impedance and durable vibration resistant connection between the conductor shield and the Schirmungslage is realized in a simple manner.
  • the shield connection device surrounds the electrical conductor and / or the connection of the conductor in an annular manner. With a shield connection device surrounding the electrical conductor and / or the connection of the conductor to 360 °, a complete low-impedance coupling of the shielding of the conductor to the signal layer can be achieved.
  • a further signal layer and a further Schirmungslage are provided, wherein the further Schirmungslage shields the signal layer of the further signal layer.
  • the further signal position not only can the signal position be protected by the shielding layer from external influences, or a radiation of the signal position can be suppressed to the outside, but also a possibly disturbing influence of a signal position on a further signal position can be reduced.
  • both the further signal position and the further shielding position have a different extent than the signal position and the shielding position.
  • the individual layers may also be laminated, for example, sandwiched.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the invention provides that the signal position and the further signal position functionally guide different signals. It is thus possible, functionally different occupied signal layers also according to their susceptibility or their To shield interference potential with their own Schirmungslagen, which may also be formed differently and may vary widely according to the desired shielding.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an application example of an electrical contact coupling 2 on only partially shown rail vehicles 30, 32.
