Definitions

  • the invention relates to a housing for electrical plug connections and a method for producing the housing, for example for electric vehicles, with at least one cable routed through an entry opening in the housing, the housing consisting of a hard plastic component.
  • a housing of the type mentioned is often part of locking devices in electric cars, for example in the DE 10 2009 057 426 A1 are described.
  • an electrical connector which is connected to a receptacle of a housing.
  • the electrical connector includes a body, a cover, and two mounting assemblies. Openings in the body accept tabs to which electrical wires are attached.
  • a shielded connector having a terminal inserted into a housing and connected to at least one electric wire.
  • a shielding shell attached to the outer periphery of the case is fixedly attached to a shielding member surrounding at least one electric wire.
  • a protective member is also provided, which protects the insulating plastic cover from interference with the shielding shell when the electric wire deviates from a regular wiring path.
  • the US 3,963,295A relates to an electrical connector having a silicone rubber portion with a cavity therein which receives a first portion of a sleeve of heat shrinkable material.
  • the plug housing part consists of a viscoplastic material which is formed by overmoulding a plug contact part.
  • a sealing plug made of resilient plastic material is arranged adjacent to the plug contact part and has a receiving opening for a conductor cable.
  • the plug housing part has at its one end four radially extending ribs which are intended to prevent axial displacement of the sealing plug relative to the plug contact part.
  • the housings are overmoulded parts that are equipped with cable lines, for example in the engine compartment or in the area of the fuel filler flap.
  • the housings are provided with contacts on the inside that are connected to the cable lines.
  • the cable lines are in turn routed through entry openings located in the housings into the interior of the housing.
  • the casings are often made of PBT GF 30 material, i.e. polybutylene terephthalate with 30% glass fibre, and are therefore made of a rather hard component, whereas the sheathing material of the cable lines is made of PVC, i.e. polyvinyl chloride and are therefore made of a rather soft material. This creates a kink at the cable outlet, i.e. at the entry openings, which can lead to damage to the cable lines if the user handles them improperly.
  • PBT GF 30 material i.e. polybutylene terephthalate with 30% glass fibre
  • PVC i.e. polyvinyl chloride
  • the invention provides that the inlet opening is located in a soft component, which preferably consists of an elastomer, with the soft component and the housing being designed as a composite part.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to reduce the susceptibility to buckling at the entry opening of the housing by arranging a soft component, which is formed from an elastomer, for example, between the cable lines and the housing.
  • the housing for electrical plug connections for example for electric vehicles, has at least one cable line guided through an entry opening of the housing, the housing being designed as a composite part and consisting of a hard plastic component and a soft component.
  • the soft component is arranged on the cable line and is located in the entry opening, so that the manufacturing process is optimized. Compared to known housings with anti-kink protection, fewer components are required overall, so that production is optimized not only in terms of costs but also in terms of cycle times during production.
  • the soft component is a shrink tube, whereby the soft component is held securely on the cable line.
  • This provides particularly effective anti-kink protection.
  • the manufacturing process is further improved by the temperature-dependent properties of the heat-shrink tubing. This comes into play in particular when the cable line connected to the shrink tubing is introduced into a tool for producing the housing and is exposed to heat there, so that the shrink tubing consequently fits snugly against the cable line.
  • the soft component and the housing are designed as a composite part that has been produced using 2K technology, ie the soft component is combined with the housing to form a composite part in a common, synchronous overmolding process.
  • the soft component is manufactured as a separate part and is together with inserted into the housing shape with the contacts or cable line, so that there is no need for an additional seal on the cable sheathing material.
  • the housing according to the invention is suitable for various environmental conditions. In particular, it can be used at an operating temperature between approx. -40°C and approx. 85°C and a storage temperature between approx. -40°C and approx. 120°C.
  • the housing according to the invention is also characterized by good tightness and preferably has the code IP54 within the scope of the protection class.
  • a method for producing a housing for an electrical plug connection with at least one soft component designed as a shrink tube being attached to at least one cable line.
  • the shrink tube can be pulled onto the cable line or the cable line can be pulled through the shrink tube.
  • the cable line provided with the soft component is then placed in a tool, in particular an injection mold for producing the housing, and overmoulded with plastic, so that a housing with cable lines arranged in and on the housing, which can be provided with plug contacts.
  • a tool in particular an injection mold for producing the housing, and overmoulded with plastic, so that a housing with cable lines arranged in and on the housing, which can be provided with plug contacts.
  • the sensitivity to buckling is improved by the kink protection implemented in this way. This is because the ends of the cable lines provided with the soft component are partly surrounded by the housing wall and partly protrude from the housing. Furthermore, a manufacturing process that is optimized in terms of production cycles and costs is ensured in this way.
  • An advantageous development of the invention provides that there are elongated cavities within the soft component, through which the cable line is routed. As a result, a larger part of the cable line is located within the soft component, which in turn further reduces the sensitivity of the cable line to buckling and the hold of the cable lines within the soft component is further increased.
  • the fact that the cable line is preferably routed with a precise fit through the elongated cavities also serves this purpose.
  • a larger outer surface area of the soft component provides greater adhesion between the hard component and the soft component.
  • the soft component is advantageously arranged outside of the housing.
  • an attachment is provided which is designed in one piece with the housing and into which the soft component is integrated.
  • the connection between the hard component and the soft component should be characterized by high adhesion.
  • the soft component is therefore preferably encapsulated in a plastic, which can expediently be achieved by using 2-component production.
  • the attachment is assigned to a wall of the housing also serves this purpose, with the attachment being provided with ribs which are located between the wall of the housing and the entry surface of the soft component integrated into the attachment.
  • 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 expediently formed from an elastomer.
  • the invention provides that a web is formed in the add-on part, which rests on the entry surface of the soft component facing away from the housing.
  • the pressure on the soft component can be varied or adjusted by the design of the injection molding tool in relation to the dimensional design of the add-on part or the ribs and webs of the add-on part.
  • the soft component has an entry surface which has entry openings spaced apart from one another.
  • the add-on part 16 has a web 19 which rests on the side of the entry surface 18 of the soft component 15 facing away from the housing 10 . This creates an additional hold of the soft component 15 on the add-on part 16 .
  • the attachment 16 has a length of about 19.5 mm and a width of about 7.3 mm and a height of about 4 mm.
  • the present invention is not limited in its implementation to the above preferred embodiment. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable, which also make use of the solution shown in other types of designs.
  • the soft component 15 can be integrated directly into the wall 14 of the housing 10, i.e. be part of the wall 14 of the housing 10.
  • Out of 4 shows a further variant of the housing 10 according to the invention for electrical plug connections, for example for charging plugs of electric vehicles, in particular for an actuator for locking these electrical plug connections.
  • At least one cable line 11 is routed through an entry opening 13 of the housing 10 .
  • the housing 10 is produced as a composite part from a hard plastic component and a soft component 15 .
  • the soft component 15, which is preferably designed as a shrink tube, is arranged on the cable line 11 and is located in the entry opening 13.
  • figure 5 shows a breakout, ie a partial section of the housing according to 4 .
  • the cable lines 11 provided with the soft component 15 pass through the entry openings 13 of the housing 10 and can be provided with plug-in connections for connecting further components inside the housing 10 .
  • the cable line 11 can be connected to a plug contact, for example, by means of a crimp connection.
  • Other detachable or non-detachable connections are also conceivable within the meaning of the invention.
