Description

Baugruppe mit einem Gehäuse und einem Kabelschuh  Assembly with a housing and a cable lug
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Baugruppe mit einem Gehäuse und einem Kabelschuh. The invention relates to an assembly with a housing and a cable lug.
Bei der Montage eines Kabelbaums in einem Fahrzeug wird derzeit ein Ka- belschacht, durch den Abschnitte des Kabelbaums verlaufen, beispielsweise am Motorblock fixiert, während die Erdung des Kabelbaums über eine separate Verbindung eines Erdungskabels mit einem elektrisch leitenden Bauteil, beispielsweise ebenfalls dem Motorgehäuse erfolgt. When mounting a wiring harness in a vehicle is currently a cable duct through which portions of the wiring harness, for example, fixed to the engine block, while the grounding of the wiring harness via a separate connection of a grounding cable with an electrically conductive component, for example, also the motor housing.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Befestigung eines Gehäuses sowie bei- spielsweise eines damit verbundenen Erdungskabels zu vereinfachen. The object of the invention is to simplify the attachment of a housing and, for example, a grounding cable connected thereto.
Hierzu wird erfindungsgemäß eine Baugruppe mit einem Gehäuse und mit einem Kabelschuh mit einer Halteöffnung eingesetzt, wobei das Gehäuse eine Befestigungsöffnung aufweist, mit der das Gehäuse an einem Befestigungsbolzen angebracht werden kann. Außerdem ist eine Aufnahme für den Kabelschuh im Gehäuse vorgesehen, wobei die Aufnahme eine Positioniervorrichtung für den Kabelschuh aufweist und wobei der Kabelschuh in der Aufnahme so angeordnet ist, dass die Halteöffnung mit der Befestigungsöffnung überlappt. For this purpose, according to the invention an assembly with a housing and a cable lug is used with a holding opening, wherein the housing has a mounting opening with which the housing can be attached to a mounting bolt. In addition, a receptacle for the cable lug is provided in the housing, wherein the receptacle has a positioning device for the cable lug and wherein the cable lug is arranged in the receptacle so that the holding opening overlaps with the mounting opening.
Infolgedessen kann zur Fixierung des Gehäuses der Befestigungsbolzen gleichzeitig durch die Befestigungsöffnung des Gehäuses und durch die Halteöff- nung des Kabelschuhs geschoben werden, und die Befestigung von Gehäuse und Erdungskabel kann in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang erfolgen. As a result, in order to fix the housing, the fastening bolt can be pushed simultaneously through the fastening opening of the housing and through the holding opening of the cable lug, and the attachment of the housing and grounding cable can take place in a single operation.
Außerdem ist eine Vormontage des Kabelschuhs im Gehäuse möglich. Das Vorsehen einer Positioniervorrichtung erlaubt es dabei, den Kabelschuh bei der Vormontage so in die Aufnahme einzulegen, dass bei der späteren Endmontage am Befestigungsbolzen die Positionierung des Kabelschuhs bezüglich der Befestigungsöffnung des Gehäuses erhalten bleibt. Der Kabelschuh liegt in der Aufnahme stets in einer Position, in der ein Überlappen der Halteöffnung mit der Befestigungsöffnung sichergestellt ist, sodass der Befestigungsbolzen gleichzei- tig die Befestigungsöffnung des Gehäuses und die Halteöffnung des Kabelschuhs durchdringt. In addition, a pre-assembly of the cable lug in the housing is possible. The provision of a positioning device makes it possible to insert the cable lug during pre-assembly in the recording, that in the subsequent final assembly on the mounting bolt, the positioning of the cable lug with respect to the mounting opening of the housing is maintained. The cable lug is always located in the receptacle in a position in which an overlapping of the holding opening is ensured with the mounting opening, so that the fastening bolt at the same time tig penetrates the attachment opening of the housing and the holding opening of the cable lug.
In einer möglichen Ausführungsform ist das Gehäuse ein Kabelschachtgehäuse, das in einem Fahrzeug fixiert werden kann und das zur Aufnahme eines Teils eines Kabelbaums bestimmt ist. Es wäre jedoch auch denkbar, die Erfindung für Gehäuse für andere Einsatzzwecke und beispielsweise damit verbundene Erdungskabel einzusetzen. In one possible embodiment, the housing is a cable duct housing which can be fixed in a vehicle and which is intended to receive a part of a cable harness. However, it would also be conceivable to use the invention for housings for other purposes and, for example, grounding cables connected thereto.
Das Kabelschachtgehäuse ist vorzugsweise an einem Motorgehäuse befestigt, das auch die Masse für die Erdung des gesamten Kabelbaums bildet. Die Befestigungsöffnung im Gehäuse ist beispielsweise in einer elektrisch leitfähigen Buchse ausgebildet, was das Herstellen einer elektrisch leitenden Verbindung zwischen dem Kabelschuh und dem Befestigungsbolzen vereinfacht. The cable duct housing is preferably attached to a motor housing, which also forms the ground for the grounding of the entire wiring harness. The attachment opening in the housing is formed for example in an electrically conductive socket, which simplifies the production of an electrically conductive connection between the cable lug and the fastening bolt.
Der Befestigungsbolzen kann etwa ein Schraubbolzen am Fahrzeug oder eine separate Schraube sein, beispielsweise eine M6- oder M8-Schraube. Diese kann beispielsweise in einen Befestigungsdom eingreifen, der am Motorblock ausgebildet ist. The mounting bolt may be about a bolt on the vehicle or a separate screw, such as an M6 or M8 screw. This can for example engage in a mounting dome, which is formed on the engine block.
Das restliche Gehäuse, abgesehen von der Befestigungsbuchse, besteht vorzugsweise aus einem geeigneten Kunststoff. Dabei sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass das Gehäuse inklusive der Aufnahme so ausgebildet ist, dass die Ein- zelteile des Gehäuses mit möglichst wenig Aufwand und bevorzugt ohne den Einsatz von Schiebern in Spritzgusswerkzeugen herstellbar sind. The rest of the housing, apart from the mounting bush, is preferably made of a suitable plastic. It should be ensured that the housing including the receptacle is formed so that the individual parts of the housing can be produced with as little effort and preferably without the use of slides in injection molding tools.
Das Gehäuse kann beispielsweise zweiteilig ausgebildet sein, was auch das Einlegen beispielsweise eines Kabelbaumabschnitts erleichtert. The housing may for example be formed in two parts, which also facilitates the insertion of, for example, a harness section.
Die Befestigungsöffnung im Gehäuse kann beispielsweise an einem Gehäusevorsprung vorgesehen sein, wobei die Befestigungsöffnung parallel oder in einem Winkel zu einer Durchgangsöffnung des Gehäuses ausgerichtet sein kann. Die Durchgangsöffnung kann beispielsweise entlang der Erstreckungsrich- tung des im Gehäuse aufgenommenen Kabelbaumabschnitts verlaufen. The attachment opening in the housing may be provided, for example, on a housing projection, wherein the attachment opening may be aligned parallel or at an angle to a passage opening of the housing. The passage opening can extend, for example, along the extension direction of the cable harness section accommodated in the housing.
Wenn sich die Aufnahme für den Kabelschuh im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu der Durchlassöffnung des Gehäuses erstreckt, lässt sich die Halteöffnung des Kabelschuhs einfach überlappend mit der Befestigungsöffnung im Gehäuse ausrichten. If the receptacle for the cable lug extends substantially perpendicular to the passage opening of the housing, the holding opening of the Simply align the cable lug with the fastening opening in the housing.
Insbesondere wenn es sich um ein Kabelschachtgehäuse handelt, ist auf diese Weise ist eine Verschraubung des Gehäuses am Fahrzeug auch möglich,, wenn der Kabelbaumabschnitt bereits im Gehäuse aufgenommen ist. In particular, if it is a cable duct housing, in this way a screwing of the housing to the vehicle is also possible, when the harness section is already accommodated in the housing.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Baugruppe ist es daher möglich, einen Kabelbaum so vorzufertigen, dass an einem Abschnitt bereits das Kabelschachtgehäuse vorgesehen ist, wobei ein Erdungskabel des Kabelbaums mit einem Kabelschuh versehen ist, der in einer Aufnahme des Gehäuses durch die Positioniervorrichtung in einer Endmontageposition gehalten wird. Ein so vorgefertigter Kabelbaum muss bei der Endmontage lediglich im Fahrzeug fixiert werden, indem der Befestigungsbolzen durch die überlappende Befestigungsöffnung und Halteöffnung von Gehäuse und Kabelschuh hindurchgreift. With the assembly according to the invention, it is therefore possible to prefabricate a wiring harness so that the cable duct housing is already provided at a portion, wherein a grounding cable of the wiring harness is provided with a cable lug, which is held in a receptacle of the housing by the positioning device in a final assembly position. Such a prefabricated cable harness must be fixed in the final assembly only in the vehicle by the fastening bolt passes through the overlapping mounting hole and retaining opening of the housing and cable lug.
Die Positioniervorrichtung kann in einer möglichen Ausführungsform ein erstes Rastelement im Gehäuse umfassen, das in Eingriff mit einem zweiten Rastelement am Kabelschuh kommt, wenn dieser vollständig in die Aufnahme eingeschoben ist. Die so hergestellte Rastverbindung hält zum einen den Kabelschuh in seiner Endmontageposition und bietet zum anderen, beispielsweise durch ein hörbares Rastgeräusch, bei der Vormontage eine Kontrollmöglichkeit beim Einsetzen des Kabelschuhs in die Aufnahme. In one possible embodiment, the positioning device may comprise a first latching element in the housing, which engages with a second latching element on the cable lug when it is fully inserted into the receptacle. The latching connection thus produced holds on the one hand the cable lug in its final assembly position and on the other hand, for example, by an audible catching noise, in the pre-assembly a means of control when inserting the cable lug in the recording.
Das erste Rastelement ist beispielsweise eine Rastfeder und das zweite Rastelement eine Rastöffnung in einer Montageplatte des Kabelschuhs, in die die Rastfeder des Kabelschuhs eingreift. In diesem Fall ist vorzugsweise in der Montageplatte des Kabelschuhs auch die Halteöffnung ausgebildet. Halteöffnung und Rastöffnung können bezüglich der Einschubrichtung des Kabelschuhs in die Aufnahme hintereinander angeordnet sein, um eine schlanke Ausbildung des Kabelschuhs zu ermöglichen. Die Rastöffnung und die Halteöffnung können leicht gegeneinander versetzt sein, um eine Vormontage des Kabelschuhs nur in der korrekten Ausrichtung zuzulassen. The first locking element is, for example, a detent spring and the second detent element a detent opening in a mounting plate of the cable lug, in which engages the detent spring of the cable lug. In this case, the retaining opening is preferably formed in the mounting plate of the cable lug. Holding opening and latching opening can be arranged with respect to the insertion direction of the cable lug in the receptacle one behind the other, to allow a slim design of the cable lug. The detent opening and the retaining opening can be slightly offset from each other to allow a pre-assembly of the cable lug only in the correct orientation.
Natürlich können auch anders ausgebildete Rastverbindungen zwischen Gehäuse und Kabelschuh verwendet werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Positioniervorrichtung einen Anschlag am Gehäuse umfassen, der eine vollständig eingeschobene Position des Kabelschuhs definiert. Dieser Anschlag kann beispielsweise durch einen einstückig mit dem Gehäuse ausgebildeten Vorsprung realisiert sein. Of course, differently shaped locking connections between the housing and cable lug can be used. Alternatively or additionally, the positioning device may comprise a stop on the housing, which defines a fully inserted position of the cable lug. This stop can be realized for example by an integrally formed with the housing projection.
Der Kabelschuh kann geradlinig gestaltet sein, sodass das Kabel in Verlängerung der Montageplatte des Kabelschuhs absteht, oder kann ein abgewinkeltes Ende aufweisen. Im letzteren Fall sind vorzugsweise im Gehäuse zwei Durchbrüche vorgesehen, über die der Kabelschuh an seinem abgewinkelten Ende auf einfache Weise am Gehäuse fixierbar ist. Hierzu wird beispielsweise ein Ratschband oder Kabelbinder durch die beiden Durchbrüche gezogen und um das abgewinkelte Ende des Kabelschuhs fixiert. Die Durchbrüche lassen sich beispielsweise während des Spritzgussprozesses der Gehäuseteile mit formen. The cable lug may be rectilinear, so that the cable protrudes in extension of the mounting plate of the cable lug, or may have an angled end. In the latter case, two openings are preferably provided in the housing, via which the cable lug at its angled end in a simple manner can be fixed to the housing. For this purpose, for example, a ratchet strap or cable tie is pulled through the two openings and fixed around the angled end of the cable lug. The breakthroughs can be shaped, for example, during the injection molding process of the housing parts.
In der Aufnahme sind vorzugsweise Leitelemente für die Montageplatte des Kabelschuhs vorgesehen, beispielsweise in die Gehäuseteile eingeformte Nuten und/oder Rippen als Führungen und Auflageflächen. Diese Leitelemente verhindern ein ungewolltes Verdrehen und Verkippen des Kabelschuhs beim Einschieben in die Aufnahme. Am Einschubende der Aufnahme können Schrägen vorgesehen sein, die auch gleichzeitig als Entformhilfen für das Entformen der Gehäuseteile aus einer Spritzgussform dienen können. In the recording guide elements for the mounting plate of the cable lug are preferably provided, for example, in the housing parts molded grooves and / or ribs as guides and bearing surfaces. These guide elements prevent unwanted twisting and tilting of the cable lug when inserted into the receptacle. At the insertion end of the recording bevels may be provided, which can also serve as demolding aids for demolding of the housing parts of an injection mold at the same time.

In the area of the receptacle 14, a fastening opening 28 extends through the projection 26, through which the fastening bolt 18 shown in FIG. 1 engages when the housing 12 is mounted on the vehicle. The shape of the housing 12 may of course be adapted to the particular application of the housing 12 and is not limited to the shape shown here.
Die beiden Schalenteile 22, 24 des Gehäuses 12 bestehen zumindest weitgehend aus Kunststoff und sind jeweils separat als Spritzgussteil gefertigt. Die Befestigungsöffnung 28 ist jedoch in einer metallischen, elektrisch leitfähigen, in den Vorsprung 26 eingesetzten Buchse 30 ausgebildet. Der Kabelschuh 16 (siehe Figur 4) hat einen Kabelhalteabschnitt 32, der sich einstückig in eine Montageplatte 34 fortsetzt. Der gesamte Kabelschuh 16 ist aus einem Metallblech geformt. The two shell parts 22, 24 of the housing 12 consist at least largely of plastic and are each made separately as an injection molded part. However, the attachment opening 28 is formed in a metallic, electrically conductive socket 30 inserted in the projection 26. The cable lug 16 (see FIG. 4) has a cable holding section 32, which continues in one piece into a mounting plate 34. The entire cable lug 16 is formed from a metal sheet.
Der auf bekannte Weise ausgebildete Kabelhalteabschnitt 32 dient dazu, ein Kabelende aufzunehmen und elektrisch leitend mit der Montageplatte 34 zu verbinden. Das (nicht gezeigte) Kabel ist hier ein Erdungskabel und ist Teil des Kabelbaums, der im Gehäuse 12 aufgenommen ist (nicht dargestellt). The formed in a known manner cable holding portion 32 serves to receive a cable end and electrically connected to the mounting plate 34. The cable (not shown) is here a ground cable and is part of the wiring harness which is accommodated in the housing 12 (not shown).
Die Montageplatte 34 ist hier im Wesentlichen eben ausgebildet, in der Montageplatte 34 ist eine Halteöffnung 36 ausgebildet. Außerdem weist die Montage- platte 34 an ihrem freien Ende einen kleinen Vorsprung 40 auf. The mounting plate 34 is substantially flat here, in the mounting plate 34 has a holding opening 36 is formed. In addition, the mounting plate 34 has a small projection 40 at its free end.
Wenn das Gehäuse 12 um den Kabelbaum montiert wird, wird das Erdungskabel mit dem Kabelschuh 16 verbunden, und der Kabelschuh 16 wird zur Vormontage in die Aufnahme 14 am Gehäuse 12 eingeschoben. Diese Situation (ohne Kabel und Kabelbaum) ist in Figur 5 dargestellt. Es sind Leitelemente vorgesehen, die eine exakte Ausrichtung der Montageplatte 34 in der Aufnahme 14 erleichtern. Beispielsweise sind am Gehäuse 12 mehrere Auflageflächen 42 für die Montageplatte 34 sowie zwei seitliche Führungsnuten 44 ausgebildet. Zum Erleichtern des Einführens des Kabelschuhs 16 sind die Einführflächen am Einschubende der Aufnahme 14 angeschrägt. Diese Details sind auch in den Figuren 7 bis 9 dargestellt. When the housing 12 is mounted around the harness, the ground wire is connected to the lug 16, and the lug 16 is inserted into the receptacle 14 on the housing 12 for pre-assembly. This situation (without cable and wiring harness) is shown in FIG. There are provided guide elements which facilitate an exact alignment of the mounting plate 34 in the receptacle 14. For example, a plurality of support surfaces 42 for the mounting plate 34 and two lateral guide grooves 44 are formed on the housing 12. To facilitate the insertion of the cable lug 16, the insertion surfaces at the insertion end of the receptacle 14 are chamfered. These details are also shown in FIGS. 7 to 9.
Um die korrekte Vormontageposition der Montageplatte 34 des Kabelschuhs 16 in der Aufnahme 14 des Gehäuses 12 vor der Fixierung des Gehäuses 12 am Fahrzeug sicherzustellen und um den Kabelschuh 16 bis zu seiner Endmontage in dieser Position zu halten, ist eine Positioniervorrichtung vorgesehen. In diesem Beispiel weist die Positioniervorrichtung mehrere separate Elemente auf, die zusammen oder getrennt verwirklicht sein können. In order to ensure the correct preassembly position of the mounting plate 34 of the cable lug 16 in the receptacle 14 of the housing 12 prior to fixing the housing 12 to the vehicle and to keep the cable lug 16 in this position until its final assembly, a positioning device is provided. In this example, the positioning device comprises a plurality of separate elements, which may be implemented together or separately.
Ein erstes Element der Positioniervorrichtung ist durch einen Anschlag 46 gebildet, der an einem Vorsprung am freien Ende der Aufnahme 14 im Gehäuse 12 ausgebildet ist. Ist der Kabelschuh 16 vollständig in die Aufnahme 14 eingescho- ben, so liegt ein an den endseitigen Vorsprung 40 anschließender Randabschnitt 48 der Montageplatte 34 an der nach innen gerichteten Anschlagsfläche 50 des Anschlags 46 an. Ein nach innen gerichteter Fortsatz am Anschlag 46 verhindert ein axiales Abheben der Montageplatte 34 aus der Aufnahme 14. A first element of the positioning device is formed by a stop 46, which is formed on a projection at the free end of the receptacle 14 in the housing 12. If the cable lug 16 is pushed completely into the receptacle 14, an edge section 48 of the mounting plate 34 adjoining the end projection 40 rests against the inwardly directed abutment surface 50 of FIG Stop at 46. An inwardly directed extension on the stop 46 prevents axial lifting of the mounting plate 34 from the receptacle 14th
Das zweite Element der Positioniervorrichtung ist hier durch eine Rastvorrichtung gebildet, die zwei Rastelemente 52, 54 umfasst, die ineinandergreifen, wenn die Montageplatte 34 des Kabelschuhs 16 korrekt in die Aufnahme 14 eingeschoben wurde. The second element of the positioning device is here formed by a latching device which comprises two latching elements 52, 54 which engage in one another when the mounting plate 34 of the cable lug 16 has been correctly inserted into the receptacle 14.
Das erste Rastelement 52 ist durch eine in die Aufnahme 14 ragende Rastfeder am Gehäuse 12 gebildet. Das das zweite Rastelement 54 ist durch eine Rastöffnung in der Montageplatte 34 realisiert. Die Rastfeder kann entweder einstückig als Kunststoffteil mit dem Gehäuse 12 ausgebildet sein, oder kann ein separates, in das Gehäuse 12 eingesetztes Bauteil sein. The first locking element 52 is formed by a protruding into the receptacle 14 detent spring on the housing 12. The second latching element 54 is realized by a latching opening in the mounting plate 34. The detent spring may either be integrally formed as a plastic part with the housing 12, or may be a separate, inserted into the housing 12 component.
Beim Einschieben der Montageplatte 34 in Einschubrichtung E in die Aufnahme 14 rastet die Rastfeder mit einem hörbaren Geräusch in der Rastöffnung 38 ein. When inserting the mounting plate 34 in the insertion direction E in the receptacle 14, the detent spring engages with an audible noise in the detent opening 38 a.
Die Rastöffnung ist bezüglich der Einschubrichtung E ein Stück gegenüber der Halteöffnung 36 versetzt, um ein Einrasten der Rastfeder in die Rastöffnung nur in einer eindeutigen Montagestellung des Kabelschuhs 16 zu erlauben. The latching opening is offset relative to the insertion direction E a piece relative to the holding opening 36, to allow a locking of the detent spring in the latching opening only in a unique mounting position of the cable lug 16.
Wenn das freie Ende 56 der Rastfeder in die Rastöffnung eingreift, ergibt dies ein akustisches und haptisches Signal, das das Erreichen der korrekten Vormontageposition anzeigt, in der eine Endmontage möglich ist. Diese korrekte Vormontageposition entspricht einer vollständig in die Aufnahme 14 eingeschobenen Position des Kabelschuhs 16. In dieser korrekten Vormontageposition liegt die Halteöffnung 36 des Kabelschuhs 16 über der Befestigungsöffnung 28 der Aufnahme 14 des Gehäuses 12, sodass die beiden Öffnungen 28, 36 überlappen und in diesem Beispiel auch exakt fluchten. Die Rastfeder hält den Kabelschuh 16 auch in der Vormontageposition. If the free end 56 of the detent spring engages in the detent opening, this results in an acoustic and haptic signal indicating the achievement of the correct pre-assembly in which a final assembly is possible. This correct preassembly corresponds to a fully inserted into the receptacle 14 position of the cable lug 16. In this correct preassembly position, the holding opening 36 of the lug 16 is above the mounting opening 28 of the receptacle 14 of the housing 12, so that the two openings 28, 36 overlap and in this example also exactly aligned. The detent spring holds the cable lug 16 in the preassembly position.
Die Figuren 6 und 9 zeigen eine Variante, in der der Kabelhalteabschnitt 32 des Kabelschuhs 16 geradlinig in Verlängerung der Montageplatte 34 verläuft, und nicht abgewinkelt ist. Beide Varianten sind nach Belieben austauschbar. Figures 6 and 9 show a variant in which the cable holding portion 32 of the cable lug 16 extends in a straight line in extension of the mounting plate 34, and is not angled. Both versions are interchangeable.
Wird ein Kabelschuh 16 mit einem abgewinkelten Kabelhalteabschnitt 32 verwendet, so ermöglichen zwei Durchbrüche 58 im Gehäuse 12 eine einfache Fixierung des Kabelhalteabschnitts 32 mittels eines Kabelbinders (nicht dargestellt). If a cable lug 16 is used with an angled cable holding section 32, then two openings 58 in the housing 12 allow a simple Fixing the cable holding portion 32 by means of a cable tie (not shown).
Die so vorgefertigte Baugruppe 10 mit dem Gehäuse 12 und dem daran vormontierten Kabelschuh 16 wird am Fahrzeug an der gewünschten Stelle positio- niert und mittels des Befestigungsbolzens 18, der gleichzeitig durch die Befestigungsöffnung 28 des Gehäuses 12 und die mit dieser überlappenden Halteöff- nung 36 des Kabelschuhs 16 hindurchgreift, fest und endgültig am Fahrzeug fixiert. The thus prefabricated assembly 10 with the housing 12 and the cable lug 16 preassembled thereon is positioned on the vehicle at the desired location and by means of the fastening bolt 18 which at the same time passes through the fastening opening 28 of the housing 12 and the retaining opening 36 of the housing overlapping it Lug 16 passes through, firmly and finally fixed to the vehicle.
