Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckverbindung mit einem Steckverbinder und Gegensteckverbinder, die in einem Steck- und Gegensteckgehäuse angeordnet sind und Steck- und Gegensteckkontakte aufweisen, mit zumindest einem Dichtelement, das mit den Gehäusen verbindbar ist, und mit Verriegelungseinheiten, ggf. mit Vorverrastung, die mit den Gehäusen in Wirkverbindung stehen, gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a plug connection with a plug connector and mating plug connector, which are arranged in a plug and mating plug housing and have plug and mating plug contacts, with at least one sealing element that can be connected to the housings, and with locking units, optionally with pre-locking, which are operatively connected to the housings, according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.

Derartige Steckverbindungen sind allgemein bekannt. Insbesondere dann, wenn es sich um mehr- oder hochpolige Steckverbindungen handelt, sind die Kräfte zum Zusammenfügen der Steckverbindung so groß, dass sie die zulässige Steckkraft überschreiten können. Bekannt sind Steckhilfen (Querschieber, Wippe, Bajonett usw.), um die auftretenden Kräfte zur Kontaktpaarung, Dichtverklemmung und Verriegelung zu verringern. Diese Steckhilfen erfordern jedoch einen zusätzlichen Bauraum, der oft nicht gegeben ist.Such plug connections are well known. Particularly when multi-pole or multi-pole plug connections are involved, the forces required to join the plug connection are so great that they can exceed the permissible plug force. Plug-in aids (cross slides, rockers, bayonets, etc.) are known to reduce the forces required for contact pairing, tight clamping and locking. However, these plug-in aids require additional installation space, which is often not available.

Eine gattungsgemäße Steckverbindung gemäß der Merkmale des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1 ist aus der US 5,906,499 bekannt.A generic plug connection according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1 is known from US$5,906,499 known.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die beschriebenen Nachteile zu beheben und auf Steckhilfen zu verzichten. Die Zusammenfügung der [ Beiblatt (einzufügen auf der ursprünglich eingereichten Seite 1, dort zwischen dem vorletzten und letzten Absatz) ]The invention is therefore based on the object of eliminating the disadvantages described and dispensing with plug-in aids. The assembly of the [ Supplementary sheet (to be inserted on the originally submitted page 1, between the penultimate and last paragraph) ]

In den Figuren 1 und 2 der US 5,906,499 A ist eine Steckverbindung gezeigt, die einen Steckverbinder und einen Gegensteckverbinder offenbart. Diese beiden Steckverbinder weisen ein Steckgehäuse und ein Gegensteckgehäuse sowie ein Dichtelement auf, das mit den Gehäusen verbindbar ist. Ebenso sind in dem Steckverbinder Kontakte und in dem Gegensteckverbinder ein Kontakt angeordnet, die zusammengesteckt werden können, wenn der Steckverbinder mit dem Gegensteckverbinder zusammengesteckt wird. In Figur 1 dieser Druckschrift ist eine erste Stufe des Steckvorganges gezeigt. Dabei wird ein vorstehender Bereich des Steckverbinders in einen korrespondierenden Teil des Gegensteckverbinders eingesteckt. In dieser Position sind weder die einander korrespondierenden Kontaktpartner in Verbindung noch ist das vorstehende Ende des Steckverbinders in Wirkverbindung mit dem Dichtelement des Gegensteckverbinders. In Figur 2 dieser Druckschrift ist gezeigt, dass der Steckverbinder mit seinem vorstehenden Ende vollständig in das Aufnahmeteil des Gegensteckverbinders eingesteckt worden ist. Somit befinden sich der Steckverbinder und der Gegensteckverbinder in der Figur 2 in ihrer nahezu vollständig zusammengesteckten Position, wobei eine Verrastung noch nicht erfolgt ist. Die endgültige Lage des Steckverbinders in dem Gegensteckverbinder ist in Figur 4 gezeigt, wobei auch die Verrastung des Gegensteckverbinders mit dem Steckverbinder erfolgt ist. Wieder Bezug nehmend auf die Figur 2 ist jedoch erkennbar, dass in dieser Stellung sowohl der Kontaktpin des Kontaktpartners des Steckverbinders in den Kontaktpartner des Gegensteckverbinders eingeführt wurde und dabei gleichzeitig auch der vorstehende Endbereich des Steckverbinders mit der Dichtung des Gegensteckverbinders in Berührung gekommen ist. Das bedeutet mit anderen Worten, dass die Figur 2 dieser Druckschrift nicht zeigt, dass beim Zusammenfügen der Steckverbindung zunächst die Kontaktierung und erst danach die Abdichtung und / oder Verriegelung, sondern dies erfolgt bei diesem Stand der Technik gleichzeitig.In the Figures 1 and 2 the US 5,906,499 A a plug connection is shown which discloses a plug connector and a mating plug connector. These two plug connectors have a plug housing and a mating plug housing as well as a sealing element which can be connected to the housings. Contacts are also arranged in the plug connector and a contact in the mating plug connector, which can be plugged together when the plug connector is plugged together with the mating plug connector. In Figure 1 This publication shows a first stage of the plugging process. A protruding area of the connector is plugged into a corresponding part of the mating connector. In this position, neither the corresponding contact partners are connected nor is the protruding end of the connector in operative connection with the sealing element of the mating connector. In Figure 2 This document shows that the connector has been fully inserted with its protruding end into the receiving part of the mating connector. Thus, the connector and the mating connector are in the Figure 2 in their almost completely assembled position, whereby locking has not yet taken place. The final position of the connector in the mating connector is shown in Figure 4, whereby the mating connector has also been locked to the connector. Again referring to the Figure 2 However, it is clear that in this position the contact pin of the contact partner of the connector has been inserted into the contact partner of the mating connector and at the same time the protruding end area of the connector has come into contact with the seal of the mating connector. In other words, this means that the Figure 2 This publication does not show that when assembling the plug connection, contact is made first and only then is sealing and/or locking carried out, but rather, with this state of the art, this takes place simultaneously.

Steckverbindung bzw. die Kontaktpaarung soll trotzdem mit geringen Kräften erfolgen und die Steckverbindung soll mit einfachen, kostengünstigen Mitteln herstellbar sein.The plug connection or the contact pairing should nevertheless be made with low forces and the plug connection should be able to be manufactured using simple, cost-effective means.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Patentansprüche gelöst.This problem is solved by the features of the independent patent claims.

Ausgehend davon, dass die Steck- und Gegensteckkontakte so ausgebildet und so angeordnet sind, dass beim Zusammenfügen der Steckverbindung zunächst die Kontaktierung/Kontaktpaarung sowie ggf. Vorverrastung und danach die Abdichtung und Verriegelung erfolgt, und weiterhin davon ausgehend, dass das Dichtelement und die Verriegelungseinheiten so ausgebildet und so angeordnet, dass beim Zusammenfügen der Steckverbindung zunächst die Kontaktierung/Kontaktpaarung sowie ggf. Vorverrastung und danach die Abdichtung und Verriegelung erfolgt, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Steck- und/oder Gegensteckkontakte in Steckereinsätzen angeordneten sind und dass die Steckereinsätze in den zugeordneten Gehäusen verschiebbar angeordnet sind.Based on the fact that the plug and mating plug contacts are designed and arranged in such a way that when the plug connection is assembled, contacting/contact pairing and, if necessary, pre-locking are carried out first, followed by sealing and locking, and further based on the fact that the sealing element and the locking units are designed and arranged in such a way that when the plug connection is assembled, contacting/contact pairing and, if necessary, pre-locking are carried out first, followed by sealing and locking, the invention provides that the plug and/or mating plug contacts are arranged in plug inserts and that the plug inserts are arranged so as to be displaceable in the associated housings.

Durch diese Ausgestaltungen wird erreicht, dass zunächst nur die Kräfte für die Kontaktierung bzw. Kontaktpaarung und ggf. für die Vorverrastung aufgebracht werden müssen und danach dann die Kräfte für die Verriegelung und deren Verrastung sowie die Abdichtung und die Verformung des Dichtelements. Eine derartige Steckverbindung kommt daher ohne Steckhilfen aus und die Kräfte für die Zusammenfügung bewegen sich trotzdem im zulässigen Rahmen.This design means that initially only the forces for contacting or contact pairing and, if necessary, for pre-locking need to be applied, and then the forces for locking and locking as well as sealing and deformation of the sealing element. This type of plug connection therefore does not require any plug-in aids and the forces for joining the parts are still within the permissible limits.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Steck- und/oder Gegensteckkontakte in den zugeordneten Gehäusen verschiebbar angeordnet. Wenn die Steck- undloder Gegensteckkontakte in Steckereinsätzen angeordnet sind, dann können auch die Steckereinsätze in den zugeordneten Gehäusen verschiebbar angeordnet sein.In a further development of the invention, the plug and/or mating plug contacts are arranged so that they can move in the associated housings. If the plug and/or mating plug contacts are arranged in plug inserts, then the plug inserts can also be arranged so that they can move in the associated housings.

Dadurch kann nach Kontaktierung bzw. Kontaktpaarung das bzw. die Gehäuse weiterbewegt werden, um die Abdichtung und Verriegelung zu bewirken.This means that after contact or contact pairing has been made, the housing(s) can be moved further to achieve sealing and locking.

Erfindungsgemäß können die Steck- und/oder Gegensteckkontakte und/der die Steckereinsätze in den Steckereinsätzen und den jeweiligen Gehäusen mittels zumindest eines Rastelements abgestützt sein. Es ist auch möglich, dass die Steck- und/oder Gegensteckkontakte und/oder die Steckereinsätze in den Steckereinsätzen oder jeweiligen Gehäusen mittels zumindest einer Feder oder Feder-Wipp-/KippEinrichtung abgestützt sind. Dabei werden die Kräfte zum Auslösen der Wipp-/KippEinrichtung oder Auslösung des Rastelements so gewählt, dass sie zur Kontaktierung bzw. Kontaktpaarung ausreicht, danach aber die Steck- und/oder Gegensteckkontakte bzw. die Steckereinsätze freigeben, so dass eine Abdichtung/Pressung des Dichtelements und eine Verriegelung bez. Verrastung erfolgen kann.According to the invention, the plug and/or counter plug contacts and/or the plug inserts in the plug inserts and the respective housings can be supported by means of at least one locking element. It is also possible for the plug and/or counter plug contacts and/or the plug inserts in the plug inserts or respective housings to be supported by means of at least one spring or spring rocker/tilt device. The forces for triggering the rocker/tilt device or triggering the locking element are selected such that they are sufficient for contacting or contact pairing, but then release the plug and/or counter plug contacts or the plug inserts so that the sealing element can be sealed/pressed and locked or latched.

Zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung wird auf die Zeichnungen verwiesen, in denen ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vereinfacht dargestellt ist.For further explanation of the invention, reference is made to the drawings in which an embodiment of the invention is shown in simplified form.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist, soweit im Einzelnen dargestellt, mit 1 ein Steckgehäuse und mit 2 ein Gegensteckgehäuse bezeichnet. In den Gehäusen 1 und 2 sind jeweils, nicht dargestellt, Steck- und Gegensteckverbinder angeordnet, die die elektrische Kontaktierung des Steckverbinders mit dem Gegensteckverbinder bewirken. Mit 3 und 4 sind Verriegelungseinheiten bezeichnet, die einerseits an dem Steckgehäuse 1 und andererseits an dem Gegensteckgehäuse 2 angeordnet sind. Weiterhin ist mit 5 ein Dichtelement bezeichnet, das mit dem Steckgehäuse 1 in Verbindung steht und mit dem Gegensteckgehäuse 2 dichtend verbindbar ist. Der Figur 1 ist zu entnehmen, dass die Kontaktierung bzw. Kontaktpaarung des Steckverbinders mit dem Gegensteckverbinder erfolgt ist, ohne dass die Abdichtung und Kontaktierung der Verriegelungseinheiten durchgeführt wurde. In Figur 2 ist die Endverrastung der Verriegelungseinheiten 3, 4 und Verpressung des Dichtelements 5 erfolgt.In the Figures 1 and 2 As shown in detail, 1 is a plug housing and 2 is a mating plug housing. In the housings 1 and 2, not shown, plug and mating connectors are arranged, which ensure electrical contact between the plug connector and the mating connector. 3 and 4 denote locking units, which are arranged on the one hand on the plug housing 1 and on the other hand on the mating plug housing 2. Furthermore, 5 denotes a sealing element, which is connected to the plug housing 1 and can be connected to the mating plug housing 2 in a sealing manner. The Figure 1 It can be seen that the contacting or contact pairing of the connector with the mating connector was carried out without the sealing and contacting of the locking units being carried out. In Figure 2 the final locking of the locking units 3, 4 and pressing of the sealing element 5 has taken place.
