Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for assembling an angle connector.
  • the angled connector comprises a connector housing through which an angled through-channel for receiving conductor components extending at an angle to one another.
  • An angled through channel is understood to be a non-linear or non-straight passage through the connector housing, which can have a kink, such as a bend through approximately 90 °, to provide a corner connector.
  • a first conductor component introduced into the through-channel from one side in the interior of the through-channel is non-positively and / or positively connected to a second conductor component introduced into the through-channel from the other side.
  • Connectors are generally used to releasably connect electrical lines or other electrical components in order to transmit power and / or electrical signals in the coupled state.
  • a first connector such as a plug part is coupled to a complementary mating connector such as a socket part.
  • a plug connector usually has a cable-side end at which a line such as a cable emerges from the through-channel, and a plug-in end at which the plug connector has a plug interface for coupling to the mating connector.
  • the longitudinal direction of the line emerging from the connector on the cable side and the plug-in direction for coupling with the mating connector run at an angle to one another, for example at a right angle.
  • a particularly space-saving coupling to a mating connector is possible and, furthermore, there is no need to lay a cable connected to the connector in a curved manner, which is susceptible to damage, since the connector itself dictates the change of direction in a small space.
  • the through channel of an angle adjustment connector comprises a first channel section in which the plug-in interface is received, and a second channel section which runs at an angle thereto and from which the cable exits on the cable side.
  • Conventional angled plug-in connectors are produced as follows: First, a conductor component with an angled front section carrying the plug-in interface is mounted on a cable end, for example by crimping or soldering to the cable conductor. The angled conductor component is then introduced into a channel of a connector housing. For this purpose, two housing shells can be placed laterally from both sides on the angled conductor component and then locked together. Alternatively, the angled conductor component is inserted from the side into an open housing, and the laterally open channel is then covered with a housing cover or the like. locked.
  • the two housing shells must be tightly connected to one another or the housing cover must close the housing tightly, for which purpose a sealing material or adhesive can be used, for example.
  • a watertight closing of a connector housing at the site of the final assembly of the connector is, however, complex and error-prone, and the watertightness can decrease over time. Furthermore, additional costs are incurred for the production, transport and assembly of a multi-part housing.
  • An electrical angle connector with a housing is known, an additional opening being provided in a rear wall of the housing on the housing in addition to an opening at a plug-side end and an opening at a cable-side end.
  • This additional opening serves as access to a joint between two inner conductor components in order to connect them electrically and mechanically to one another or to visually check their correct assembly within the housing.
  • the additional opening is closed with a cover after the angled connector has been installed.
  • this has the disadvantage that the housing is not made in one piece and an additional seal must be provided in the area of the additional opening.
  • the coaxial cable end which is exposed except for the inner conductor with its inner conductor insulation, is pushed into the connector up to a stop and then the plug-in conductor component is pushed further into the housing, so that the plug-in component makes electrical contact with the inner conductor of the coaxial cable by piercing the inner conductor insulation.
  • this has the disadvantage that an additional sleeve must be crimped onto the cable and the connector to mechanically hold the coaxial cable on the connector with regard to absorbing axial forces on the coaxial cable, since the simple electrical piercing connection between the inner conductor part on the plug-in side and the inner conductor of the Coaxial cable cannot absorb any forces in the axial direction with respect to the coaxial cable.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for the simplified assembly of an angle connector and at the same time to reduce the manufacturing costs.
  • a method is to be provided which leads to an angle connector with excellent watertightness without major assembly effort.
  • Claim 10 relates to an assembly unit for producing an angle connector according to the method according to the invention.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that a first conductor component introduced into the through-channel from one side is connected in the interior of the through-channel in a non-positive and / or form-fitting manner with a second conductor component introduced into the through-channel from the other side.
  • the first conductor component is introduced through a first channel opening into the first channel section
  • the second conductor component is introduced through the opposite second channel opening into the second channel section, which runs at an angle to the first channel section.
  • the two conductor components By pushing or pushing the first conductor component further into the channel interior, in the direction of the kink between the two channel sections, the two conductor components can be brought into electrical and mechanical contact with one another for the transmission of electrical signals and / or current and in this way shape and / or or be non-positively connected to each other.
  • the fronts of the two ladder components in the duct sections that are in front of each other are clamped and pressed together inside the duct, clamped, screwed (non-positive connection) and / or hooked (positive connection) or the like.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that a cable with an angled conductor component already attached to it can only be introduced into a laterally open channel of an angled housing, which leads to the assembly difficulties described above. Therefore, according to the invention, the first conductor component to be mounted at an angle to the cable is only connected to the second conductor component, which is attached to the front cable end, inside the housing.
  • This has the advantage that the two conductor components, which run essentially linearly before assembly in the connector housing, can be introduced from the two opposite channel openings, which are required anyway, into a laterally closed channel and only then to provide the angled conductor run inside the Connector housing can be connected to each other.
  • the channel can in this case be encompassed by an inner wall of the housing that is closed laterally all around, a second housing shell or a housing cover for sealing the housing tightly after the angled conductor component has been introduced is unnecessary. Rather, the housing having the angled channel can already be made in one piece from a waterproof material such as plastic, so that after the conductor components have been introduced, only the two channel openings need to be sealed in order to provide a completely tight angled connector. Furthermore, the step of gluing or sealing several housing parts on site by the connector fitter is omitted.
  • the first conductor component In the assembly position (I), the first conductor component is held in a non-positive manner at a position provided for this in the first channel section.
  • the first conductor component can rest closely against the inner duct wall of the first duct section, at least in sections.
  • the first conductor component has radially outwardly protruding projections such as circumferential knobs which press against the inner duct wall and hold or fix the first conductor component in the assembly position. This fixation is preferably set up so weak that the first conductor component for connection to the second conductor component can be pushed further into the first channel section by a compressive force directed into the interior of the channel.
  • the fixation is set up so strongly that the first conductor component cannot detach itself from the connector housing without a noticeable application of force and, for example, can fall into or out of the channel.
  • the first conductor component In the assembly position (I), the first conductor component preferably only protrudes so far into the first channel section that it does not hinder the introduction of the second conductor component into the second channel section up to the end position.
  • the assembly unit with the first conductor component already held in the channel is transported to the location at which the connector is to be attached to the front end of a line or a cable.
  • the line with the second conductor component attached to the front end of the line is inserted into the second channel section until the second conductor component strikes a stop in the channel and is then arranged in its axial end position.
  • the first conductor component already arranged in the first channel section is pressed further into the channel until it makes electrical and mechanical contact with the second conductor component in the region of the kink of the channel and is preferably permanently connected to it.
  • a particularly simple, quickly established and permanent connection between the first and the second conductor component in the interior of the channel is possible in that the first conductor component is pressed with the second conductor component.
  • a press connection only requires a compressive force on one of the conductor components in its longitudinal direction or in the longitudinal direction of the corresponding channel section.
  • a press connection is well suited for the transmission of electrical signals and / or currents due to the large contact surface between the connection partners that is provided as a result.
  • a press connection is particularly durable and permanent.
  • the angled connector is a coaxial connector in which each of the conductor components has an inner conductor and an outer conductor that runs around the inner conductor at least in sections.
  • the outer conductor can form a shielding of the inner conductor and / or the inner conductor can be closed at least in sections in the manner of a sleeve or in the form of a spring basket or wire mesh.
  • Both the first conductor component and the second conductor component preferably have a coaxial structure with the inner conductor and the outer conductor encircling it, the inner conductor and the outer conductor of the two conductor components preferably each extending essentially at right angles to one another.
  • both the outer conductors and the inner conductors of the two conductor components are connected to one another in a force-fitting and / or form-fitting manner inside the through-channel.
  • Reliable and particularly durable pressing of the two outer conductors is possible in that an essentially tubular wall section of the outer conductor of the first conductor component is pressed with oversize into an opening in the outer conductor of the second conductor component.
  • the opening can be arranged in a press-in section provided at the front end of the outer conductor of the second conductor component in such a way that, after the second conductor component has been inserted into the second channel section, it becomes the first channel section is directed towards and forms its continuation, so that the first conductor part can be easily pressed into the opening by being pushed further into the channel.
  • the outer conductor of one or both conductor components can consist, at least in sections, of a metal that is suitable for pressing, such as a zinc die-cast or of brass.
  • the pressing of the two outer conductors can be done quickly and without great effort by means of a transportable, preferably hand-operated pressing tool such as a toggle press or the like. respectively. Pressing is therefore possible directly at the installation site of the angled connector.
  • the inner conductors of the two conductor components which are at least partially encircled by them, are also brought into electrical and mechanical contact with one another and thereby positively and / or non-positively connected to one another. It is not necessary to press the inner conductors together. Rather, the establishment of a force-fit contact between the two inner conductors, such as a simple clamp or clamp contact, can be sufficient for reliable electrical contacting, while the mechanical strength of the connection can be ensured primarily by the press contact between the outer conductors, which provides a much greater holding force.
  • Reliable electrical contact between the two inner conductors when the first conductor component is pressed into the second conductor component can be established by pushing a pin-shaped section of the inner conductor of the first conductor component into a clamping section of the inner conductor of the second conductor component and pinching it.
  • the clamping section can have two or more deflectable spring tabs, which are deflected when the pin-shaped section is inserted and are thereby pretensioned in the direction of the latter, so that permanent and two-dimensional electrical contact is ensured.
