Definitions

  • the invention relates to a housing for electrical connectors, its use and a method for producing the housing, for example for electric vehicles, with at least one guided through an inlet opening of the housing cable line, wherein the housing consists of a hard component made of plastic.
  • a housing of the type mentioned is often part of locking devices in electric cars, the example in the DE 10 2009 057 426 A1 are described.
  • an adapter housing with a plug part accommodated therein wherein the adapter housing has at least two housing sections of differently hard plastics formed by encapsulation of the plug part with a cable end.
  • the plug housing part consists of a viscoelastic plastic material, which is formed by molding a plug contact part.
  • a sealing plug made of elastic plastic material is arranged adjacent to the plug contact part and has a receiving opening for a conductor cable.
  • the male housing part indicates its one end four radially extending ribs, which should prevent axial displacement of the sealing plug relative to the plug contact part.
  • the housings are overmolded parts which are provided with cable lines, for example in the engine compartment or in the region of the tank flap.
  • the housings are provided inside with contacts that are connected to the cable lines.
  • the cable lines are in turn guided by located in the housings inlet openings in the interior of the housing.
  • the housings are often made of the material PBT GF 30, i. made of polybutylene terephtalate with 30% glass fiber, and thus formed of a rather hard component, whereas the sheathing material of the PVC cable lines, i. is made of polyvinyl chloride and thus is formed of a rather soft material. This results in cable exit, i. at the inlet openings, a kink that can lead to damage to the cable lines in case of improper handling by the user.
  • the inlet opening is in a soft component, which preferably consists of an elastomer, wherein the soft component and the housing are formed as a composite part.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to reduce the kink sensitivity at the inlet opening of the housing by arranging a soft component, which is formed for example from an elastomer, between the cable lines and the housing.
  • the housing for electrical plug-in connections for example for electric vehicles, has at least one cable lead routed through an inlet opening of the housing, wherein the housing as a composite part consists of a hard component made of plastic and a soft component.
  • the soft component is arranged on the cable line and is located in the inlet opening, so that the manufacturing process is optimized. Because it compared to known cases with anti-kink protection fewer components are required, so that the production is optimized not only in terms of cost, but also with respect to the cycle times in the production.
  • the soft component may be a shrink tube, whereby a secure hold of the soft component is realized on the cable line.
  • This provides a particularly effective kink protection.
  • the manufacturing process is further improved by the temperature-dependent properties of the shrink tube. This comes into play, in particular, when the cable conduit connected to the shrink tubing is introduced into a tool for producing the housing and exposed to heat there is, so that the shrink tube thus conforming snugly to the cable line.
  • the soft component and the housing are formed according to the invention as a composite part, which has been produced in the context of 2K technology, ie the soft component is joined together with the housing to form a composite part in a common, synchronous process of overmolding.
  • the soft component is made as a separate part and is inserted together with the contacts or cable line in the housing form, so that also eliminates an additional seal on the cable sheath material.
  • the housing according to the invention is suitable for various environmental conditions. It can be used in particular at an operating temperature between about - 40 ° C and about 85 ° C and a storage temperature between about -40 ° C and about 120 ° C.
  • the housing according to the invention is also characterized by a good tightness and preferably has the code IP54 in the context of protection.
  • a method for producing a housing of an electrical connector wherein at least one, preferably designed as a shrink tube soft component is attached to at least one cable line.
  • the shrink tube can be mounted on the cable line or the cable line can be pulled through the shrink tube.
  • the soft component cable line is inserted into a tool, in particular an injection mold for producing the housing and molded with plastic, so that a housing with arranged in and on the housing cable lines, which can be provided with plug contacts.
  • a tool in particular an injection mold for producing the housing and molded with plastic
  • the kink protection implemented in this way improves the kink sensitivity. Because the ends of the cables provided with the soft component cable lines are partially enclosed by the housing wall and partly protrude out of the case. Furthermore, a manufacturing process optimized in terms of production cycles and costs is ensured in this way.
  • An advantageous development of the invention provides that are within the soft component elongated cavities through which the cable line is guided. As a result, there is a greater part of the cable line within the soft component, which in turn further reduces the kink sensitivity of the cable line and the hold of the cable lines within the soft component is further increased. This also serves that the cable line is preferably performed accurately fit through the elongated cavities.
  • a larger outer surface of the soft component provides greater adhesion between the hard component and the soft component.
  • the soft component is advantageously arranged outside the housing for this purpose.
  • an attachment is provided, which is formed integrally with the housing and in which the soft component is integrated.
  • the bond between the hard component and the soft component should be characterized by high adhesion.
  • the soft component is therefore encapsulated by a plastic, which can be conveniently achieved by the use of 2K manufacturing.
  • the attachment is associated with a wall of the housing, wherein the attachment is provided with ribs, which is located between the wall of the housing and the entrance surface of the integrated into the attachment soft component.
  • the space between the wall of the housing and the ribs and the space between the ribs are preferably filled with the soft component.
  • the soft component is formed from an elastomer.
  • the invention provides that in the attachment a web is formed, which rests on the housing facing away from the entrance surface of the soft component.
  • the pressure on the soft component can be varied or set by the design of the injection molding tool, with respect to the massive design of the attachment, or the ribs and webs of the attachment.
  • a different configuration may be required than for the requirement of a narrow installation radius after the exit of the cables from the housing.
  • the invention provides that the soft component has an inlet surface which has spaced-apart inlet openings.
  • FIG. 1a shows a conventional housing, which is provided with the reference numeral 20 and the one in FIG. 1a not shown connector is assigned, which serves for an electrical connector for charging the power cells of a vehicle with electric drive.
