Definitions

  • the invention relates to an angled connector and a method for assembling an angled connector.
  • the invention is in the field of connector technology, in particular in the field of circular connectors, i.e. connectors with e.g. an M12, M8, M23 or a 7/8 "thread.
  • Such connectors in particular M12 connectors, are used, for example, for electrical contacting and / or connection of industrial Ethernet.
  • such connectors are often subject to mechanical stresses, such as e.g. by connected machines, which is why these connectors should be designed for mechanical loads and, in particular, can have a thread with which the connector can be screwed and secured.
  • a subspecies of these connectors are the angled connectors, which are angled and adjacent to the male end an angle of e.g. Can have 90 °.
  • the plug connector thus has an angle, which is why a plug end of the plug connector is arranged at an angle to the cable end of the plug connector.
  • angled connectors are known from the prior art, in which the cable is initially bent by 90 ° and is potted in this bent position.
  • This plug connector has the disadvantage that the cable has to be fixed in the angled position both when it is potted and when the potting compound subsequently dries out.
  • the cable is first threaded through an angled guide sleeve which fixes the cable in an angled position when it is potted.
  • the connector it is cumbersome and expensive to lead the cable through the angled guide sleeve.
  • the document DE 10 2013 007 815 A1 relates to a connector with a first connector part which has an electrical contact and a first cable bushing through which a connecting cable can be passed along an insertion direction.
  • the connector also has a second connector part, which is pivotable about a pivot axis relative to the first connector part from an assembly position to an operating position.
  • the second connector part has a second cable bushing through which the connecting cable can be passed along a longitudinal direction.
  • the orientation of the longitudinal direction to the insertion direction in the assembly position is different from the orientation of the longitudinal direction to the insertion direction in the operating position.
  • the document EP 1 981 132 A2 relates to a shielding sleeve of a plug connector which is connected to an electrical line and has at least one contact arranged on a contact carrier.
  • the shielding sleeve has a cylindrical sleeve section on the contact side and a cylindrical sleeve section on the line side.
  • the shield sleeve is designed in one piece.
  • a transition area between the two initially aligned sleeve sections is provided with a cutout in such a way that a defined bending line is formed so that the two sleeve sections can be brought into angular positions relative to one another.
  • the document U.S. 4,629,273 is considered to be the closest prior art and relates to a cable connector assembly having a body portion with two functional ends and a passage extending through the body portion.
  • an electrical cable is arranged along two sections.
  • the respective axes of the two sections of the electrical cable are at an angle of approximately 75 ° to one another.
  • the invention is based on the object of simplifying the assembly of an angled connector.
  • a first aspect relates to an angled connector with an insertion end for plugging in the connector and with a cable end on which a cable is guided out of the connector.
  • the cable is guided from the plug end to the cable end in cable ducts of two guide sleeves, the two guide sleeves being coupled to one another in such a way that the cable ducts are arranged at an angle to one another.
  • the two cable ducts of the first and second guide sleeve are essentially straight.
  • the two guide sleeves are coupled to one another at the bracket by means of a clamp connection.
  • Each of the two cable ducts is designed exclusively straight and without angles.
  • the angled connector can be plugged into a complementary socket and / or a complementary connector with the plug end. Electrical and mechanical contact can be made here. Inside the angled connector, a cable is arranged from contacts at the plug end to the angle, and from the angle to the cable end, at which it leads out of the connector.
  • the cable is "kinked" at the angle, ie the direction of current flow through the cable on one side of the angle differs from the direction of current flow through the cable on the other side of the angle.
  • the angle can in particular be designed as an approximately right angle.
  • each of the two guide sleeves has a cable duct.
  • the cable duct is designed and provided as a type of guide channel for receiving the cable.
  • the cable duct is dimensioned such that the cable can be laid and / or moved along the cable duct through the guide sleeve.
  • the cable can be threaded through the cable duct of the guide sleeve.
  • a play can be formed between an outer surface of the cable and the inner dimensions of the cable duct.
  • Both cable ducts are designed essentially in a straight line. This means that the cable does not have to be kinked and therefore cannot be kinked if it is guided completely through a cable duct from a first end of the guide sleeve to a second end of the guide sleeve. This makes it easier to assemble and assemble the angled connector, since the cable can be passed through each of the two guide sleeves more easily.
  • the two guide sleeves can then be tilted relative to one another so that they are arranged at an angle to one another.
  • the two guide channels of the two guide sleeves are arranged at an angle to one another and thus also the cable located therein.
  • the two guide sleeves are designed and provided to be coupled to one another in this angled arrangement. If the two guide sleeves are coupled to one another in this way, then the cable is angled inside a two-part cable duct, this two-part, angled cable duct being composed of the two cable ducts of the two guide sleeves.
  • the coupling of the two guide sleeves to one another can be designed as a mechanical coupling.
  • the angled connector can be encapsulated by a potting compound. Both guide sleeves are cast in the angled coupling to one another together with the cable guided therein. When potting, the cable is thus securely held and fixed at an angle by the guide sleeves coupled to one another.
  • This provides an angled connector that is easy to put together and assemble. This shortens the manufacturing time and reduces possible errors in the manufacture of the connector.
  • each of the two cable ducts is designed exclusively in a straight line and / or without angles.
  • the cable ducts each have internal dimensions that form the consistently rectilinear cable duct as a guide channel in which, in particular, there is no reduced cross-section and which is neither curved nor angled.
  • the interior of the cable ducts can be designed without a thread and / or without an inwardly facing projection which could prevent the cable from being introduced into the guide sleeve.
  • the two guide sleeves are each designed as a substantially elongated hollow body, the cable duct being formed in each case by the hollow interior of the guide sleeve.
  • the guide sleeves are therefore designed as elongated hollow bodies, in particular as essentially elongated hollow cylinders.
  • the addition “essentially” means that the shape of the guide sleeves can differ slightly from an exact geometric shape of a hollow body such as a hollow cylinder.
  • the guide sleeve can have additional cutouts and / or fastening pins.
  • one end of each guide sleeve can be chamfered differently from a hollow cylinder.
  • the cable duct corresponds to the hollow body inside the guide sleeve.
  • hollow cylinders have a cable duct with an essentially round cross section through which the cable, which is usually also round in cross section can be carried out particularly well and without preferred directions.
  • the cross section of the cable ducts can be adapted to the cross section of the cable and designed to be coordinated with it.
  • the two guide sleeves are designed in the manner of a miter at their respective end facing the angle and are coupled to one another.
  • the guide sleeves do not have to have a straight cut surface and / or bevel at their end facing the angle.
  • each of the two guide sleeves has at its angular end, i. at the end facing the angle, a one-sided shortened angle end.
  • the two guide sleeves are coupled to one another in such a way that the respectively shortened sides are arranged on an inner side of the angle and the longer sides are arranged on the outer side of the angle.
  • the angular ends of the two guide sleeves can each be designed so that the shortened side is at least and / or about a shortened distance shorter than the elongated side, which is as large as the inner cross-section of the other cable duct.
  • the two cable ducts can have essentially the same internal cross section, the same internal dimensions and / or the same internal diameter.
  • the two guide sleeves are coupled to one another at the angle by means of a clamp connection.
  • one of the two guide sleeves can have a widening into which the other guide sleeve can be at least partially inserted with a press fit.
  • the widened guide sleeve surrounds the other guide sleeve at at least two opposite points of the angled end of the guide sleeve.
  • one of the two guide sleeves can also have a taper around which the other guide sleeve can grip.
  • the taper can be formed exclusively on the outer surface of the guide sleeve in order not to form a taper of the cable duct in the interior, which could hinder threading of the cable.
  • one of the two guide sleeves has at least one recess at its end facing the angle, in which at least one pin of the other of the two guide sleeves is arranged.
  • One of the two guide sleeves preferably has at least two opposing cutouts, while the other guide sleeve has two opposing pins which are each arranged in the cutouts of the other guide sleeve.
  • the two guide sleeves can be coupled to one another in a well-defined position through the recess (s).
  • the recesses can be designed, for example, as recesses in the jacket of the guide sleeve, which extend from the angled end to the other end of the guide sleeve.
  • the at least one pin can generally be designed as an engagement element, in particular as a projection, a hook and / or a latching lug.
  • the at least one recess tapers in the direction away from the angle. This simplifies the introduction of the pin or pins into the recess (s).
  • the taper can be designed in such a way that the recess at the narrowest end is designed to be somewhat smaller or at most as large as the assigned pin.
  • the pin can be clamped into the recess in such a way that the two guide sleeves are fixed relative to one another.
  • the cable is guided in the cable duct of a first of the two guide sleeves from the plug end to the angle of the connector, and in the cable duct of a second of the two guide sleeves from the angle to the cable end.
  • An angled end of each of the two guide sleeves is arranged at the angle of the angled connector.
  • the respective guide sleeve leads away from the angle in the direction of the cable end or towards the end of the plug.
  • the guide sleeve does not have to extend all the way to the plug end or the cable end, but can end beforehand.
  • each of the two guide sleeves is so long that the cable is held securely in the angled or kinked state. This means that the guide sleeve extends from an inner edge of the angle to its respective opposite end over a length which corresponds to at least one or two times the cable diameter.
  • the angled connector is designed as a round connector and / or as a metric connector.
  • the connector can be designed as a metric circular connector.
  • round plug connector means that the round plug connector is designed to form a plug connection with a complementary base, with a complementary plug connector and / or with a complementary socket with a predetermined thread, in particular with a metric M5 to M58 thread or e.g. with an imperial thread.
  • the connector can have a complementary thread, in particular an M12 thread, an M8 thread, an M23 thread or a 7/8 "thread.

  • the plug connector is designed as an M12 plug connector.
  • the two guide sleeves are designed as shield sleeves which reduce electromagnetic radiation.
  • the shield sleeves can be metallic and shield both the cable inside the connector from electromagnetic radiation and the outside from electromagnetic radiation that could be caused by current flowing through the cable.
  • the guide sleeves thus have two functions at the same time: On the one hand, they lead the cable at an angle through the Connectors, on the other hand, they shield the cable electrically.
  • At least one of the two guide sleeves is designed as a tin die-cast part.
  • Both guide sleeves are preferably designed as a tin die-cast part.
  • the guide sleeves are particularly easy to manufacture on the one hand, and they also ensure electromagnetic shielding of the cable on the other.

  • the method according to the second aspect can in particular be used for assembling an angled connector according to the first aspect. Therefore, all statements relating to the connector according to the first aspect also apply to the method according to the second aspect and vice versa.
  • the method is particularly easy to carry out because the cable is particularly easy to install Can be passed through the first cable duct of the first guide sleeve and then through the second cable duct of the second guide sleeve essentially straight and one after the other. This is due to the fact that the two cable ducts are essentially straight and the cable in particular does not have to be laid around a curve. Then or beforehand, the cable can be connected to electrical contacts at the plug-in end of the connector. Finally, the two guide sleeves are tilted against one another and coupled to one another at an angle.
  • the method steps can be carried out in the sequence shown above. However, individual process steps can also be carried out in a different order.

  • the guide sleeves can also be designed as a differently shaped hollow body, e.g. with a square and / or rectangular cross-section relative to the respective associated cable duct.
  • the guide sleeves can thus also be designed as guide housings with an elongated, oval or angular cross-section, e.g. square, hexagonal, octagonal, etc. can be formed.
  • the terms “cable-side” and “plug-side” guide sleeve can also be replaced by the more general terms “first” and “second”, especially if the terms are used in relation to guide sleeves, cable ducts, cable routing directions, etc. .
  • the specific reference to the specification of the respective guide sleeves or cable ducts as being on the plug-in side or on the cable side only serves to illustrate the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures.
  • the cable-side guide sleeve for example, can also have recesses into which pins of the plug-side guide sleeve engage.
  • the guide sleeve with the recesses can also have the widening at its angled end.
  • the complementary guide sleeve can have their angular end pins which point away from the cylinder axis of the associated cable duct and engage in the complementary recesses of the complementary guide sleeve.
  • Figure 6 shows the insulating body 120 of the connector 100 in a perspective view.
  • the insulating body 120 has an essentially cylindrical outer surface, the cylinder axis being approximately parallel to the direction of current flow and to the first cable routing direction K1 (cf. Figure 2 ) is arranged.
  • the insulating body 120 At its end facing the plug end 101, the insulating body 120 has an opening 123 into which a complementary insulating body with female socket contacts can be inserted.
  • the male socket contacts 110 are arranged parallel to the first cable routing direction K1, in the exemplary embodiment shown the five socket contacts 110.
  • the insulating body 120 has a rail 126 on one side within the opening 123 for guiding the complementary insulating body of the socket or the complementary plug connector.
  • a region of the insulating body 120 which delimits the opening 123 from the outside and defines it in the process is designed as a plug-in region 121 which is essentially designed in the shape of a cylinder jacket.
  • the socket contacts 110 protrude from the insulating body.
  • a part of the insulating body 110 that is spaced apart from the opening 123 is designed as a connection area 122, in which conductors or wires of the cable can be in contact with the rear sides of the socket contacts 110.
  • This connection area 122 is formed adjacent to the angled end 125 of the insulating body 120.
  • a grid 124 is formed on its outer surface approximately in the middle of the insulating body 120.
  • the grid is arranged along an annular region on the outer surface of the insulating body 120.
  • the grid 124 has teeth and beveled indentations arranged in between.
  • the grid 124 serves to provide an inhibition of a screwing movement of the screw ring 160, whereby the plug connection is secured.
  • Figure 7 shows the screw ring 160 which is rotatably mounted around the insulating body 21.
  • the screw ring 160 has a corrugated grip area 161 for easier screwing of the plug connection.
  • the screw ring 160 also has a thread 162 which, in the exemplary embodiment, is designed as an external thread.
  • the thread 162 is formed in a region of the screw ring 160 that adjoins the plug end 101 (cf. Figure 1 ).
  • a guide channel 163 can be formed in the interior of the screw ring 160.
  • a locking ring can be arranged, which engages from the outside in the grid 124 of the insulating body 120, for example by means of an engagement nose of the locking ring provided for this purpose.
  • both the first cable duct KG1 and the second cable duct KG1 in the two guide sleeves 130 and 140 are essentially straight.
  • none of the two cable ducts KG1 and KG2 has a tapering of the cable duct, no bend and / or no kink. This enables a particularly simplified threading of the two guide sleeves onto the cable of the connector.
  • the two guide sleeves can only be positioned at an angle to one another after being threaded onto the cable and after the conductors of the cable have been connected to the socket contacts, with the cable also being bent. In this bent state, the two guide sleeves, in which the cable is arranged, are mechanically coupled to one another, e.g.
