Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Halterahmen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1.The invention is based on a holding frame for holding connector modules according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.

Derartige Halterahmen dienen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen, wobei der Halterahmen mit verschiedenen Steckverbindermodulen bestückt und anschließend in ein Steckverbindergehäuse eingesetzt und mit diesem verschraubt wird. Dabei muss der Halterahmen mechanisch stabil sein, um den auftretenden Steck- und Ziehkräften beim Zusammenfügen bzw. Trennen der Steckverbindung standhalten zu können.Such support frames are used to hold connector modules, the support frame equipped with various connector modules and then inserted into a connector housing and bolted to it. In this case, the support frame must be mechanically stable in order to withstand the insertion and pulling forces occurring when assembling or disconnecting the connector can.

Aus der GB-PS 965 560 ist ein rechteckförmiger, geteilter Halterahmen bekannt, der Befestigungsmittel aufweist, die zur Befestigung der Einheit in einem Steckverbindergehäuse dienen. Die Befestigung von Steckverbindermodulen in diesem Rahmen erfolgt formschlüssig.From the GB-PS 965 560 For example, a rectangular split support frame is known having attachment means for securing the unit in a connector housing. The attachment of connector modules in this context is positive.

Aus der Firmenschrift der Firma HARTING Elektronik GmbH "Schwere Steckverbinder, Han-Modular, 16 3" vom 20.06.1995 ist weiterhin ein im Wesentlichen rechteckiger Halterahmen bekannt, der mit sich rechtwinklig zur Montageebene erstreckenden Seitenwänden versehen ist. Die Steckverbindermodule sind dabei mit Rasthaken versehen, die beim Einfügen der Steckverbindermodule in den Halterahmen mit den Seitenwänden verrasten, somit fest in diesem gehalten werden.From the company font of the company HARTING Elektronik GmbH "Heavy Duty Connectors, Han-Modular, 16 3" dated 20.06.1995 Furthermore, a substantially rectangular holding frame is known which is provided with side walls extending at right angles to the mounting plane. The connector modules are provided with latching hooks that lock when inserting the connector modules in the holding frame with the side walls, thus firmly held in this.

Die CN 202 797 438 U zeigt einen vierteiligen Rahmen, dessen Rahmenteile um die Steckverbindermodule herum zusammengelegt und an Fixierungspunkten miteinander verschraubt werden.The CN 202 797 438 U shows a four-part frame, the frame parts are folded around the connector modules around and screwed together at fixing points.

Die DE 20 2013 103 611 U1 zeigt einen Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule, der zweiteilig ausgeführt ist, wobei die beiden Teile über zueinander ausgerichtete Kontaktbereiche miteinander verschraubbar sind.The DE 20 2013 103 611 U1 shows a holding frame for connector modules, which is made in two parts, wherein the two parts are screwed together via mutually aligned contact areas.

Weiterhin ist aus der DE 197 07 120 C1 ein Halterahmen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen bekannt, welcher aus zwei gelenkig miteinander verbunden Hälften besteht. Die Steckverbindermodule werden dabei in eine Längsseite des geklappten Halterahmens eingesetzt und durch paralleles Ausrichten der beiden Längsseiten zueinander von der zweiten Längsseite fixiert. Die Längsseiten werden dabei rechtwinklig zur Befestigungsfläche ausgerichtet.Furthermore, from the DE 197 07 120 C1 a holding frame for holding connector modules known which consists of two hingedly connected halves. The connector modules are inserted into a longitudinal side of the folded support frame and fixed by parallel alignment of the two longitudinal sides to each other from the second longitudinal side. The long sides are aligned at right angles to the mounting surface.

Nachteilig wirkt sich bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Halterahmen aus, dass das Einsetzen und Entfernen von Steckverbindermodulen in bzw. aus dem Halterahmen nur von einer definierten Seite des Halterahmens erfolgen kann. Zudem können die bekannten Halterahmen nur eine begrenzte Anzahl von Steckverbindermodulen aufnehmen. Eine größere Bauform würde zu instabil werden.A disadvantage of the known from the prior art support frame that the insertion and removal of connector modules in or out of the support frame can only be done by a defined side of the support frame. In addition, the known support frame can accommodate only a limited number of connector modules. A larger design would become too unstable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Halterahmen der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend auszubilden, dass die Steckverbindermodule auf eine möglichst variable Weise ein- und ausgebaut werden können. Eine Montage von Steckverbindermodulen mit angeschlossenen Kabeln soll von zwei Seiten der Halterahmen möglich sein. Dabei soll aber dennoch gewährleistet sein, dass der Halterahmen eine hohe mechanische Stabilität aufweist, um den Steck- und Ziehkräften beim Zusammenfügen bzw. Trennen einer Steckverbindung standzuhalten.The invention has for its object to form a holding frame of the type mentioned in that the connector modules can be switched on and removed in a variable as possible manner. An assembly of connector modules with cables connected should be possible from two sides of the support frame. However, it should nevertheless be ensured that the holding frame has a high mechanical stability in order to withstand the insertion and removal forces during assembly or separation of a plug connection.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the characterizing features of independent claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Bei der Erfindung handelt es sich um einen Halterahmen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen. Der Halterahmen ist zum Einbau in Steckverbindergehäuse oder zum Anschrauben an Wandflächen vorgesehen. Dabei verfügt der Haltrahmen über zwei gegenüberliegende Seiten die Ausnehmungen aufweisen, welche für die Aufnahme der Steckverbindermodule geeignet sind. Die Steckverbindermodule können mit entsprechenden Anformungen formschlüssig in die Ausnehmungen eingesetzt werden.In the invention, it is a holding frame for holding connector modules. The support frame is intended for installation in connector housings or for screwing to wall surfaces. In this case, the holding frame has two opposite sides which have recesses which are suitable for receiving the connector modules. The connector modules can be positively inserted into the recesses with appropriate projections.

Zur Montage der Steckverbindermodule in dem Halterahmen besteht dieser aus vier Teilen: zwei gegenüberliegende Seitenteile welche die Seiten des Halterahmens bilden und zwei, endseitig der Seitenteile angeordnete Kopfteile. Die Kopfteile verbinden dabei die Seitenteile mechanisch miteinander. In den Kopfteilen sind Aussparungen vorgesehen die als Aufnahmen Verbindungsbereiche der Seitenteile aufnehmen können.For mounting the connector modules in the support frame, this consists of four parts: two opposite side parts which form the sides of the support frame and two, the end of the side parts arranged headboards. The head parts connect the side parts mechanically together. In the headers recesses are provided which can record as recordings connecting portions of the side panels.

Nach der Erfindung sind die Aufnahmen als Schlitze ausgebildet, in welche die Verbindungsbereiche der Seitenteile eingeschoben werden können. Die Verbindungsbereiche der Seitenteile wiederum können mittels Befestigungsmitteln miteinander verbunden werden. Zweckmäßig können hier Schrauben und Muttern als Befestigungsmittel eingesetzt werden, um ein Verschrauben der Verbindungsbereiche miteinander zu ermöglichen.According to the invention, the receptacles are formed as slots into which the connecting portions of the side parts can be inserted. The connecting portions of the side parts in turn can be connected to each other by means of fastening means. Appropriately, screws and nuts can be used here as fastening means in order to allow screwing of the connection areas together.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht eine rein mechanische, verklemmende Verbindung zwischen Seitenteilen und Kopfteilen vor. Dafür sind die Aufnahmen der Kopfteile als trapez-förmige Aussparungen ausgebildet. Die kürzere Grundseite der trapez-förmigen Aussparung dient dabei als Öffnung der Aufnahme.A preferred embodiment provides a purely mechanical, jamming connection between side panels and headboards. For the recordings of the head parts are designed as trapezoidal recesses. The shorter base side of the trapezoidal recess serves as an opening of the recording.

Der Verbindungsbereich der Seitenteile kann zur Montage einseitig in die trapez-förmige Aussparung eingesetzt werden. Durch eine Kippbewegung des Seitenteils wird der Verbindungsbereich vollständig in die trapez-förmige Aussparung eingeschnappt und verklemmt so im Bereich der größeren Grundseite der trapez-förmigen Aussparung.The connecting portion of the side parts can be used for mounting on one side in the trapezoidal recess. By a tilting movement of the side part of the connecting portion is completely snapped into the trapezoidal-shaped recess and thus jammed in the region of the larger base side of the trapezoidal-shaped recess.

Um ein seitliches Herausziehen der Verbindungsbereiche aus der Aufnahme zu verhindern, sind in den Verbindungsbereichen zwei gegenüberliegende Aussparungen ausgebildet. Die Verbindungsbereiche werden zwischen den beiden Aussparungen in der Aufnahme verklemmt, so dass ein seitliches Herausziehen nicht möglich ist.In order to prevent lateral extraction of the connection areas from the receptacle, two opposite recesses are formed in the connection areas. The connection areas are clamped between the two recesses in the receptacle, so that a lateral withdrawal is not possible.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass die Montage bzw. Demontage der Steckverbindermodule ohne spezielle Werkzeuge möglich ist. Der Halterahmen kann in vier Bauteile zerlegt und um die Steckverbindermodule herum zusammengesetzt werden. Dabei können die Steckverbindermodule sogar an Kabel angeschlossen und mit Gegen-Steckverbindermodulen kontaktiert bleiben. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass die Steckverbindermodule nach dem Einbau des Halterahmens in ein Steckverbindergehäuse formschlüssig in dem Halterahmen befestigt sind und somit insgesamt eine hohe mechanische Stabilität zur Aufnahme bzw. Übertragung der Steck- und Ziehkräfte der Steckverbindung vorhanden ist.The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that the assembly and disassembly of the connector modules without special tools is possible. The support frame can be disassembled into four components and assembled around the connector modules. The connector modules can even be connected to cables and kept in contact with counter connector modules. Another advantage is that the connector modules are mounted in a form-fitting manner in the holding frame after installation of the holding frame in a connector housing and thus overall high mechanical stability for receiving or transmitting the plug and pull forces of the connector is present.

Die Figuren enthalten teilweise vereinfachte, schematische Darstellungen. Zum Teil werden für gleiche, aber gegebenenfalls nicht identische Elemente identische Bezugszeichen verwendet. Verschiedene Ansichten gleicher Elemente könnten unterschiedlich skaliert sein.The figures contain partially simplified, schematic representations. In part, identical reference numerals are used for the same but possibly not identical elements. Different views the same elements could be scaled differently.

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Halterahmens 1 in einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel. Der Halterahmen 1 besteht aus zwei längs ausgebildeten Seiten 8. Die Seiten werden durch ein erstes Seitenteil 4 sowie ein zweites Seitenteil 5 gebildet. Die Seitenteile 4, 5 sind parallel angeordnet und verfügen über Ausnehmungen 11 welche zur Aufnahme von Steckverbindermodulen vorgesehen sind. Die Steckverbindermodule sind entsprechende ausgebildet um in den Ausnehmungen 11 der Seitenteile 4, 5 gleichzeitig aufgenommen zu werden.The FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a holding frame 1 according to the invention in a first embodiment. The holding frame 1 consists of two longitudinal sides 8. The sides are formed by a first side part 4 and a second side part 5. The side parts 4, 5 are arranged in parallel and have recesses 11 which are provided for receiving connector modules. The connector modules are designed to be received in the recesses 11 of the side parts 4, 5 at the same time.

An jeweils zwei Enden des ersten Seitenteils 4, sowie des zweiten Seitenteils 5 sind Verbindungsbereiche 7 ausgebildet. Die Verbindungsbereiche 7 dienen der Verbindung der Seitenteile 4, 5 mit einem ersten Kopfteil 2 und einem zweiten Kopfteil 3. Dafür verfügt jedes der Kopfteile 2, 3 über zwei Aufnahmen 6, die als Schlitz ausgebildet jeweils einen Verbindungsbereich 7 eines Seitenteils 4, 5 aufnehmen. Zur Befestigung der Seitenteile 4, 5 miteinander und zur Verspannung an den Kopfteilen 2, 3 verfügen die Seitenteile 4, 5 über jeweils Befestigungsmittel 10, 12.At each two ends of the first side part 4, and the second side part 5 connecting regions 7 are formed. The connecting regions 7 serve to connect the side parts 4, 5 with a first head part 2 and a second head part 3. For this purpose, each of the head parts 2, 3 has two receptacles 6, each of which forms a connecting portion 7 of a side part 4, 5. For fastening the side parts 4, 5 to each other and for clamping on the head parts 2, 3, the side parts 4, 5 each have fastening means 10, 12th

Die Befestigungsmittel 10, 12 sind ausgestaltet, dass jeweils die gegenüberliegenden Befestigungsmittel 10, 12 des ersten Seitenteils 4 und des zweiten Seitenteils 5 miteinander verbindbar sind. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die ersten Befestigungsmittel 10 als Schraube ausgebildet und die zweiten Befestigungsmittel 12 als Schraubenhülse mit Innengewinde. Die Schraube des ersten Befestigungsmittels 10 kann in das Gewinde des zweiten Befestigungsmittels 12 eingeschraubt werden. Das erste Seitenteil 4 kann so mit dem zweiten Seitenteil 5 verbunden werden und gleichzeitig die Kopfteile 2, 3 zwischen den Seitenteilen 4, 5 eingeklemmt.The fastening means 10, 12 are configured such that in each case the opposite fastening means 10, 12 of the first side part 4 and of the second side part 5 can be connected to one another. In this embodiment, the first fastening means 10 are designed as a screw and the second fastening means 12 as a threaded sleeve with internal thread. The screw of the first fastening means 10 can be screwed into the thread of the second fastening means 12. The first side part 4 can thus be connected to the second side part 5 and at the same time the head parts 2, 3 clamped between the side parts 4, 5.

An den Kopfteilen 2, 3 sind Befestigungsenden 9 ausgebildet. Diese dienen zur Befestigung des gesamten Halterahmens 1 in einem Steckverbindergehäuse oder an einer Gehäuse- oder Geräteöffnung.At the head parts 2, 3 fastening ends 9 are formed. These are used to attach the entire support frame 1 in a connector housing or on a housing or device opening.

In der Figur 2 ist eine Detailansicht des ersten Kopfteils 2 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels dargestellt. Ein Ausschnitt des ersten Kopfteils 2 mit der als Schlitz ausgebildeten Aufnahme 6. In der Aufnahme 6 ist der Verbindungsbereich 7 des zweiten Seitenteils 5 eingefügt.In the FIG. 2 a detail view of the first head part 2 of the first embodiment is shown. A section of the first head part 2 with the receptacle 6 formed as a slot. In the receptacle 6, the connecting region 7 of the second side part 5 is inserted.

Zur besseren Verbindung des Verbindungsbereichs 7 in der Aufnahme 6 ist der Schlitz S-förmig ausgebildet. Die Öffnung 6.1 des Schlitzes liegt weiter im äußeren Bereich des ersten Kopfteils 2, als das Ende 6.2. Das heißt, dass die Enden 6.2 der Schlitze beider Aufnahmen 6 des ersten Kopfteils 2 näher zusammen liegen, als die Öffnungen 6.1. Diese Ausgestaltung der Schlitze stellt sicher, dass bei verbundenen Seitenteilen 4, 5 mittels der Befestigungsmittel 10, 12 die Verbindungsbereiche 7 nicht aus den Aufnahmen 6 rutschen können. Die Verbindungsbereiche 7 befinden sich in den Enden 6.2 der Schlitze. Ein Auseinanderziehen der beiden Seitenteile 4, 5 ist durch die Befestigungsmittel nicht möglich. Daher können die Verbindungsbereiche 7 nicht durch die weiter auseinanderliegenden Öffnungen 6.1 der Schlitze rutschen.For better connection of the connecting portion 7 in the receptacle 6 of the slot is S-shaped. The opening 6.1 of the slot is further in the outer region of the first head part 2, as the end of 6.2. This means that the ends 6.2 of the slots of both receptacles 6 of the first head part 2 are closer together than the openings 6.1. This embodiment of the slots ensures that, in the case of connected side parts 4, 5, the connection regions 7 can not slip out of the receptacles 6 by means of the fastening means 10, 12. The connection areas 7 are located in the ends 6.2 of the slots. A pulling apart of the two side parts 4, 5 is not possible by the fastening means. Therefore, the connecting portions 7 can not slip through the more widely spaced openings 6.1 of the slots.

Die Figur 3 zeigt noch einmal das erste Kopfteil 2 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels mit eingesetzten Seitenteilen 4, 5. Dabei sind die Befestigungsmittel 10, 12 nicht vollständig miteinander verbunden. Die Verbindungsbereiche 7 der Seitenteile 4, 5 liegen so auseinander, dass sie sich in den Öffnungen 6.1 der Aufnahmen 6 befinden und herausgenommen werden könnten. Ein Steckverbindermodul zwischen dem ersten Seitenteil 4 und dem zweiten Seitenteil 5 kann in dieser Montageposition herausgenommen oder eingesetzt werden.The FIG. 3 shows once again the first head part 2 of the first embodiment with inserted side parts 4, 5. In this case, the fastening means 10, 12 are not completely connected to each other. The connecting regions 7 of the side parts 4, 5 are so spaced apart that they are in the openings 6.1 of the receptacles 6 and could be removed. A connector module between the first side part 4 and the second side part 5 can be removed or used in this mounting position.

Ein erstes Kopfteil 2 mit eingesetzten Seitenteilen 4, 5 eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels ist in der Figur 4 in gleicher Ansicht wie Figur 3 dargestellt. In dieser Darstellung sind die Seitenteile 4, 5 jedoch vollständig mit dem ersten Kopfteil 2 verbunden. Ein Steckverbindermodul ist zwischen dem ersten Seitenteil 4 und dem zweiten Seitenteil 5 eingesetzt und befestigt.A first head part 2 with inserted side parts 4, 5 of a second embodiment is in the FIG. 4 in the same view as FIG. 3 shown. In this illustration, however, the side parts 4, 5 are completely connected to the first head part 2. A connector module is inserted and fixed between the first side part 4 and the second side part 5.

In dieser speziellen Ausführungsform sind keine Befestigungsmittel vorhanden, welche die Seitenteile 4, 5 miteinander verbinden. In dieser Ausführungsform verrasten die Verbindungsbereiche 7 des ersten Seitenteils 4 und des zweiten Seitenteils 5 direkt in den Aufnahmen 6 des ersten Kopfteils 2. Dadurch werden zusätzliche Montageschritte - die das Verschrauben in der Seitenteils 4, 5 des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels - eingespart.In this particular embodiment, there are no fastening means connecting the side parts 4, 5 to each other. In this embodiment, the connecting portions 7 of the first side part 4 and the second side part 5 engage directly in the receptacles 6 of the first head part 2. As a result, additional mounting steps - the screwing in the side part 4, 5 of the first embodiment - saved.

Die Figur 5 zeigt eine Ansicht des ersten Kopfteils 2. Hier sind die Aufnahmen 6 zu erkennen, welche in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als trapez-förmige Aussparung ausgebildet sind. Dabei sind die Aufnahmen 6 so im ersten Kopfteil 2 ausgebildet, dass die jeweils kürze Grundseite 6.3 der trapez-förmigen Aussparung als Öffnung der Aufnahme 6 dient. Über die Öffnung können die Verbindungsbereiche 7 der Seitenteile 4, 5 in die Aufnahme eingesetzt werden.The FIG. 5 shows a view of the first head part 2. Here are the receptacles 6 can be seen, which are formed in this embodiment as a trapezoidal-shaped recess. In this case, the receptacles 6 are formed in the first head part 2 that the respective short base side 6.3 of the trapezoidal-shaped recess serves as an opening of the receptacle 6. About the opening, the connecting portions 7 of the side parts 4, 5 are inserted into the receptacle.

Dafür verfügt die trapez-förmige Aussparung im oben dargestellten Bereich der längeren Grundseite 6.4 über einen spitzeren Winkel als im unteren Bereich. Der Verbindungsbereich 7 kann so im oberen Bereich eingesetzt werden und dann im unteren Bereich eingeklappt werden, bis der Verbindungsbereich 7 an der längeren Grundseite 6.4 der trapez-förmigen Aussparung anliegt (siehe Figur 7).For this, the trapezoid-shaped recess in the area of the longer base side 6.4 shown above has a more acute angle than in the lower area. The connection region 7 can thus be used in the upper region and then folded in the lower region until the connection region 7 rests against the longer base side 6.4 of the trapezoidal recess (see FIG FIG. 7 ).

Die Verbindungsbereiche 7 der Seitenteile 4, 5 sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel um zwei Aussparungen ergänzt, wie in Figur 6 dargestellt. Eine erste Aussparung 7.1 im oben dargestellten Bereich, sowie eine zweite Aussparung 7.2 im unten dargestellten Bereich des Verbindungsbereichs 7. Die Aussparungen 7.1, 7.2 sind so breit, dass sie der Stärke der Kopfteile 2, 3 entsprechen. So können die Kopfteile 2, 3 im montierten Zustand in den Aussparungen 7.1, 7.2 sitzen und ein seitliches herausrutschen der Seitenteile 4, 5 aus den Kopfteilen 2, 3 vermeiden.The connecting regions 7 of the side parts 4, 5 are supplemented in this embodiment by two recesses, as in FIG. 6 shown. A first recess 7.1 in the area shown above, as well as a second recess 7.2 in the below illustrated region of the connecting portion 7. The recesses 7.1, 7.2 are so wide that they correspond to the thickness of the head parts 2, 3. Thus, the head parts 2, 3 sit in the mounted state in the recesses 7.1, 7.2 and a lateral slip out of the side parts 4, 5 from the head parts 2, 3 avoid.

Ein montierter Halterahmen 1 des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels ist in der Figur 7 in räumlicher Schnittdarstellung gezeigt. In der Darstellung wurden die Endbereiche des ersten Seitenteils 4 und des zweiten Seitenteils 5 nicht dargestellt. So ermöglicht die Ansicht es die Verbindungsbereiche 7 der Seitenteile 4, 5 eingesetzt in den Aufnahmen 6 des ersten Kopfteils 2 zu erkennen. Die Verbindungsbereiche 7 liegen an den längeren Grundseiten 6.4 der trapez-förmigen Aussparungen an, welche die Aufnahmen 6 bilden.An assembled support frame 1 of the second embodiment is shown in FIG FIG. 7 shown in a spatial cross-section. In the illustration, the end portions of the first side member 4 and the second side member 5 have not been shown. Thus, the view makes it possible to recognize the connecting regions 7 of the side parts 4, 5 inserted in the receptacles 6 of the first head part 2. The connecting regions 7 abut against the longer base sides 6.4 of the trapezoidal recesses which form the receptacles 6.

Die Trapez-Form der Aussparungen bezwecken, dass die Verbindungsbereiche 7 in den Aufnahmen 6 verrasten und nicht ohne Kraftaufwand herausnehmbar sind. Um den Halterahmen 1 zu demontieren müssen die Seitenteile 4, 5 im unten dargestellten Bereich auseinandergezogen und aus der Aufnahme 6 herausgezogen werden. Danach könnten die Seitenteile 4, 5 im oberen Bereich herausgezogen und vollständig entfernt werden.The trapezoidal shape of the recesses aim that the connection areas 7 engage in the receptacles 6 and can not be removed without effort. To disassemble the support frame 1, the side parts 4, 5 have to be pulled apart in the area shown below and pulled out of the receptacle 6. Thereafter, the side parts 4, 5 could be pulled out in the upper region and completely removed.
