Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a travel plug adapter, which is also referred to herein briefly as a travel plug.
  • a travel plug adapter With the help of such an adapter, power plugs of a specific (domestic) standard can be plugged into the existing outlets at the place of travel.
  • the travel plug adapter requires a plug receptacle first standard and a power plug of another standard.
  • it is more accurate to travel plug adapters that allow plugging into sockets at least a first and a second standard.
  • mains plug of a first and a second standard can be used alternatively.
  • Travel plugs or travel plugs of this type are increasingly used in times of increasing global travel and business. There is therefore a need for compact, well portable travel plug adapters that are suitable for power outlets of several different standards.
  • the Chinese patent application CN 101872911 A discloses a travel plug adapter with a substantially circular housing. Housing connectors are housed inside the housing, which can be selected and pushed out of the housing. In this way, at least three different types of power connectors can be used.
  • the selection of the desired power plug is done by the upper housing part is rotated relative to the lower housing part.
  • the upper housing part has a single outwardly projecting actuating slide. This actuating slide can be brought into engagement with different power plug elements. He will do so by twisting into a position placed above the out of the housing tenuzuschiebenden power plug.
  • This travel plug may be useful for many purposes. However, it would be desirable to provide a travel plug that is even easier to use. In particular, it appears advantageous if different controls are assigned to different plugs, and the plug can be transferred directly into the use position by operating the associated control element. Likewise, the return to a clearly recognizable and secured standby position should be well possible.
  • the German patent DE 10 2011 014 920 B4 discloses another travel plug, which is referred to as a universal plug adapter.
  • this travel plug several plug pin sets are provided in an outer housing. Each pin set is connected to a keypad with which it can be moved from the outside.
  • the controls are guided through sliding slots in the housing.
  • the control units are additionally guided by a provided inside the outer housing locking plate.
  • This locking plate has a backdrop through which recesses, the controls can move.
  • the scenery provides an upper and a lower end position.
  • the locking plate is resiliently biased so that a control panel can be held firmly in the upper or in the lower end position.
  • control panel and thus the corresponding pin set can be released from the end positions and moved up or down by an externally provided next to the controls additionally provided selector lever is actuated. By pressing this selector lever, the blocking plate is moved against the spring force. This allows the pins to be moved from their upper or lower end position using the keypads.
  • the outer keypads are used both to transfer the pin sets from a first end position, a standby position, to a second end position, a use position, as well as to lock the pin sets in these positions.
  • the disadvantage of this is that during the movement of the pin sets by the controls in addition the selector must be operated. This is a convenient one-handed operation in the way.
  • the controls occupy much space on the connector surface. This stands in the way of a free design-oriented design and the achievement of a compact design.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved travel plug adapter which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the travel adapter should be inexpensive and reliable to produce, easy to transport and operate and provide high electrical safety.
  • the travel plug adapter according to the invention has a housing which can have different shapes. For example, a cuboid shape is usually convenient for transport.
  • the mechanics of the travel plug adapter is, however, designed so that the housing form can be chosen largely freely. It is advantageous if the housing has at least one flat side, but the mechanism can also be adapted to curved housing surfaces.
  • the housing can be made in one piece or in several parts. It has proved to be expedient to carry out the housing in two parts, namely with a housing lower part and a housing upper part. Both can be releasably connected to each other, for example by mechanical means, expediently by a screw connection.
  • the housing should have at least one connector receptacle. This is expediently provided on the housing top. Depending on the type of male power plug (hereafter short: plug), the Plug receptacle have different shapes. If, for example, a Schuko plug is to be received, then the plug receptacle will have a substantially cylindrical recess and, in addition, contact bushes for receiving the contact pins of the Schuko plug. Other types of plugs do not require a pit or pit. It may be expedient to provide a flat housing top, in which a plurality of contact sockets are provided. As a rule, at least two contact sockets should be provided, which form a pair of contact sockets for receiving a plug of a standard.
  • plugs may be appropriate to provide multiple pairs of female contact to accommodate several plugs of different standard. If the plugs also have grounding and the plug receptacle to provide the possibility of grounding, it is usually necessary to provide per male plug and a third contact socket or a third contact.
  • the travel plug adapter should further comprise at least one plug of a first standard and a second plug of a second standard. (Such connectors are sometimes referred to as pin sets.)
  • the plug of the first standard may be, for example, an EU plug and the plug of the second standard to a US plug.
  • the plug can be bipolar, that is ungrounded, or even three-pole, so that a ground pole can be provided.
  • the present travel plug adapter is therefore suitable for use in more than one country. Expedient and usually also required if the first plug and the second plug are used alternatively.
  • the travel plug adapter may also include three or more plugs. Travel plug adapters with three or four plugs have proven to be very useful. At least one of the plugs, but generally all the plugs, can be brought from a standby position, in which the plug is located substantially in the housing, into a use position. In the use position the plug can be used whole or at least partially outside the housing. It is often possible for the plug to be completely moved back into the housing during the return to the ready position. It is expedient that the plug can at least be moved back into the housing so far that it is not in the way of other plugs.
  • the first connector is connected to an actuator for its transfer from the ready position to the use position.
  • the second plug is also connected to an actuator for its transfer from the ready position to the use position.
  • the travel plug adapter has at least a first actuating element and a second actuating element.
  • the actuators may conveniently be carried out in a button-like manner, so that they can easily be moved with one finger.
  • sliding slots can be provided in the housing. You can also connect sliding slots together, so that there is a guide link for the actuators. It is expedient, as a rule, to provide one slide slot per actuating element and to arrange these slide slots parallel to one another.
  • a selection slide can be provided, which can be brought at least in a first position and a second position.
  • This selection slide is alternatively in its first position, the first connector or in its second position the second connector for transfer to the use position free.
  • a blocking element as a blocking element can serve for example cams, which engage in the displacement track.
  • it is not necessary to provide such a selector slide. It is optional and may be used in addition to the means described later.
  • the actuators are usually close together. Often, the actuators are designed as a slide, which is why their function and benefits will be explained below with regard to actuators. It may therefore be easy that about a finger is not placed exactly on the actuating slide, and an adjacent actuating slide could be accidentally moved along. Since the present invention but only the operation of a plug and thus (usually) also an actuating slide is made possible, the accidentally mitzummt actuating slide does not move (or he does not move at least the associated connector). This makes the operation of the travel plug adapter more forgiving.
  • the housing of the travel plug adapter has sliding slots or similar recesses.
  • the actuators can run in these slide slots. It can also be additionally provided a sliding slot for a selection slide. Slide slots allow the movement of a slider while guiding. They thus represent an advantageous and inexpensive mechanical solution. Since usually several actuation slides are provided on the travel plug adapter, it is particularly advantageous if they can be guided in a simple manner in sliding slots. In the context of the present invention, the actuating slide only the movement of the plug, usually cause an up or down movement. The actuating slide must (unlike other conventional adapters) neither provide for the locking of the plug in the use position, nor cause that only one plug can be selected.
  • the actuators in the present invention are allowed to perform one function only, they can be easily and reliably guided in slide slots. If an actuating slide, for example, spring-loaded, the guide would be in a sliding slot in the Usually less user-friendly, the slider was prone to jamming, was "hakelig" and would have at least a higher resistance.
  • a locking element is associated with at least the first connector. With this, the plug can be locked in the ready position. By locking so the free displacement of the plug is reduced, in the standby position then the resistance to displacement in the use position is higher than in a middle position of the actuating element (a position between standby position and use position).
  • the locking element can assume an open position and a closed position, wherein the locking element can be transferred by the displacement of the first connector from the open position to the closed position.
  • the locking element can be transferred by the displacement of the first connector from the open position to the closed position.
  • the first plug is usually moved upwards, ie in its ready position.
  • the additional operation of a bolt or element for the transfer of the locking element in the closed position is not required.
  • the locking element is also transferred by the displacement of the first connector from the closed position to the open position.
  • the additional operation of a bolt or element for the transfer of the locking element in the open position is then not required.
  • this transfer In order for the element to fulfill its function as a locking element, this transfer must, however, take place at least against a resistance and, in certain cases, can also be blocked, for example if another plug is already in the use position.
  • the locking can be done by a selection slide or otherwise, for example by a locking mechanism.
  • the locking element ensures the locking of the plug in the ready position. If the travel plug adapter has only a first plug, this is a mechanism provided that does not interact with other plugs. For example, a separate unlocking lever could be provided. It could also be provided in certain embodiments, an element for resilient bias of the locking element in the closed position.
  • the locking element ensures that there is a clearly defined ready position.
  • the user can effect about the simultaneous actuation of two actuators jamming of two plugs midway in the use position. Incidentally, it is not trustworthy for a user when a travel plug adapter, which is a sensitive item in terms of its electrical safety, the only partial transfer of an actuating element from the standby position is possible without the plug then completely in the use position is transferred.
  • the locking element thus causes a clearly defined ready position.
  • the closed position of the locking element corresponds to the ready position of the plug. When transferring the plug into its use position, however, the locking element goes over into its open position.
  • the locking element is designed as a completely separate from the actuator component.
  • the locking element can be performed as a movable lever. It is useful here a tiltable lever, in particular a lever which tilts about a single axis of rotation, preferably a rotational axis transverse to the direction of movement of the actuating element.
  • the lever may be resiliently biased towards its closed position, this may be provided alternatively or in addition to another closing mechanism.
  • a travel plug adapter in which each plug is assigned a support element and in which the locking element acts on the support element, so this possibly blocked and thus locks the plug in the standby position.
  • the support member may for example be designed as a support arm, which on the one hand carries the contact pins of the plug and on the other hand establishes a connection with actuator. It is expedient, in particular, if the support element has a recess and the locking element has a nose and the nose of the locking element can engage in the recess to hold the plug in the locked position. Particularly simple and convenient such a nose can form at the end of the lever.
  • a travel plug adapter is expedient in which a second plug of a second standard is also provided, to which an actuating element is likewise assigned, which is used for displacing the second plug between a standby position in which the second plug is located substantially inside the housing and a use position. in which the second plug is usefully located outside the housing, is formed.
  • the second connector is associated with a second locking element, with which the second connector can be locked in the standby position and in turn can take an open position and a closed position.
  • the locking elements rotate about a pivot point behind the displacement axis.
  • rotary axes can be provided there around which rocker arms rotate.
  • the position "behind" the displacement plane is to be understood as meaning a position in the direction of the interior of the housing.
  • the locking elements are also arranged above the actuating elements and thus generally above the sliding slots (or corresponding to the housing openings).
  • the locking element of the second plug can be transferred by moving the first plug from the open position to the closed position.
  • This transfer can also consist in a mere fixation in the closed position.
  • the locking element then not only assumes the function of defining the safety-relevant readiness position of the plug exactly, but also ensures that the second plug is influenced by the position of the first plug.
  • the locking element can then take over the function, for example, has the twisting of the connector housing to select a connector or the function that may have in this context from selection slide.
  • the at least one locking element are connected to a control lever which controls the transfer of the at least one locking element (or possibly all Locking elements) in the open position allowed or blocked.
  • the control lever or finger can be designed as a separate element and connected to the locking element or be designed in one piece with the locking element.
  • a U-shaped lever has been proven, one end of the lever has an element or in particular a nose, which can interact with the plug or in particular a support element of the plug. The other end of the U-shaped lever can then serve as a control lever or finger.
  • the control lever engages in a blocking unit which fixes the at least one locking element in the closed position.
  • the blocking unit can expediently have at least one blocking slide, which can be displaced substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the at least one locking element. It is expedient if the at least one blocking slide (preferably all blocking slides) is arranged on a displacement track. It is also expedient if the at least one blocking slide is resiliently biased towards one end of the displacement track. All of these measures related to the blocking unit effect an effective interaction between the various plugs. In this case, as it were, the location information (use position or blocking position) on the position of the locking element and the control lever and then passed on the position of the blocking slide to further control lever and thereby locking elements.
  • the at least one blocking slide (or possibly all blocking slides) above the slide slots. It is also expedient to arrange the at least one blocking slide (or possibly all blocking slides) behind the sliding slots. This results in a favorable compact design and an optimized mode of operation with appealing exterior - as already outlined above for the position of the locking elements.
  • first blocking slide of a first length and a second blocking slide of a second length are provided.
  • the second length may be identical to the first length, but the second length may also be greater than the first length.
  • a larger second length makes it possible to make the distances of the various connectors unequal and even relatively free to choose, by adjusting the lengths of the blocking slide, but to achieve a reliable function of the blocking unit.
  • the plugs can be brought into the use position by means of the actuators.
  • Advantageous for the safe use of the travel plug adapter is that the plug also remain in the use position, for example, even if they are introduced against pressure in a socket.
  • a locking or locking element In order to secure the whereabouts of plugs in the use position and to lock them there may be provided in the context of the present invention, a locking or locking element.
  • This latching element can lock at least one plug of the travel plug adapter, expediently, the latching element can also lock several or all plugs in the use position.
  • the locking element is connected to a release button, which is provided on the outside of the housing and to operate in a release direction.
  • a release button allows the intuitive and safe release of the locking element when a plug is to be transferred from the use position back to the ready position.
  • This construction appears safer and more reliable than those in which certain movements of the actuator or a selection slide or the plug itself lead to the release of the plug.
  • the release button is not accidentally pressed, it can also be provided with warnings or in a warning color, for example in red, be designed.
  • the release button may be part of the housing, such as when through suitable design a part of the housing can be pressed. In general, it is expedient to provide a recess in the housing, and to provide the release button as independent of the housing part in this recess.
  • the release button opposite to the selector slide and / or the actuators are arranged.
  • the latching element is optionally resiliently biased against the release direction.
  • the resilient biasing of the locking element allows the reliable automatic engagement of plugs in a lock when the plug is in the use position. It is mechanically advantageous if the springs act exactly opposite to the release direction.
  • An expedient embodiment of an (optional) latching element is one in which the latching element has at least one latching web and this latching web has a sliding surface and a latching projection. On the sliding surface, an element connected to a moving plug can slide along. This element can then engage the latching projection, so that the connector connected to the element is locked.
  • a travel plug adapter in which at least one plug has a sliding nose or is mechanically fixedly connected to such and the sliding nose runs on the sliding surface and can possibly assume a locking position on a latching projection.
  • the locking means comprises a plurality of locking webs, for example, two, three or four locking webs.
  • the number of locking bars can be just as large as the number of plugs. Appropriate and sufficient, it may also be, if the number of locking webs is less than the number of plugs.
  • both plugs are each connected to a sliding nose and both slide lugs run on the same latching web of the latching element. Since both sliding lugs run on the same locking bar, so both slide lugs on the same sliding surface and on the same locking projection on which both slide lugs can assume a locked position. Since in the travel plug adapter not two plugs should be transferred simultaneously to the use position, the sliding lugs take alternatively this locking position on the locking projection. But by two Gleitnasen, for example, two sliding lugs adjacent plugs, share a suitably sized locking bar, the number of locking bars can be reduced and the travel plug adapter be built so compact.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a travel plug adapter 10 according to the invention, which is ready for use, but is not yet in use position. Rather, all the connectors are in the ready position, ie in the housing.
  • the travel plug adapter has a housing which consists of an upper housing part 12 and a lower housing part 14.
  • the upper housing part 12 and the lower housing part 14 together form the plug main housing.
  • the plug receptacle 16 On the top of the travel plug adapter and thus in the region of the upper housing part 12 is the plug receptacle 16. This has a plurality of contact sockets 18.

  • the first actuating slide 22 is provided, with which the US-contacts can push out, the second actuating slide 24, with which the AU-contacts can push out and the third actuating slide 26, with which a Schuko-plug can be pushed out.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the embodiment of the travel plug adapter according to the invention, in which the actuating slide 22 has been transferred to its lower position. Accordingly, the contact pins for the US plug 28 protrude from the housing.
  • the US plug 28 includes two power conductive pins, the pins 30A and 30B, and a ground pin 32. In the illustrated position, the travel plug may be inserted into a US standard socket. This standard does not require that a plug body be used. The housing bottom of the travel plug adapter 10 is then flush on the flat surface of the plug according to US standard.

Accordingly, the third operating slide 26 is in its lower position has been brought. Over the bottom 34 of the housing protrudes the plug body 40 of the Schuko plug. For this in turn, the current-carrying pins 42A and 42B of the Schuko plug stand out. According to the standard, ground contacts 44 are located on the sides of the plug body.
  • Fig. 5 shows in a perspective view selected cooperating components of the travel connector 10. The view goes with the housing upper part in the interior of the plug, so you can see essentially the components that are received by the housing base 14. It should also be noted that not all components required for the function of the plug are shown. For the sake of clarity, a selection has been made.

  • the actuating slide 22 moves the support bar 50.
  • the contact pins 30A and 30B are suspended. Accordingly, when the first operating slide 22 is displaced, the support bar 50 moves downward in the direction of the housing bottom. In this case, the contact pins 30A and 30B in the plug body 40 of the Schuko plug out.
  • the Schuko plug thus offers a guide for pins of a different standard.
  • Fig. 6 shows in a similar perspective view a similar selection of cooperating components.

Shown are three actuators in the form of a first actuating slide 84 for a US plug, in the form of a second actuating slide 86 for a UK plug and in the form of a third actuating slide 88 for an AU plug.
  • the locking mechanism 90 shown can also interact with other plugs, for example, the in Fig. 1 shown arrangement.
  • the locking mechanism 90 again comprises a sliding track 92 as one element. This sliding track 92 extends between the first end piece 94 and the second end piece 96. Adjacent to the first end piece 94 is a spring 98 which is suitable for transferring the different blocking slides to the second End piece 96 of the sliding track 92 spring bias toward.
  • the spring 98 is disposed in the first blocking slide 100A. It also acts (mediated by this carriage) on the second blocking slide 100B and on the adjacent third blocking slide 100C.

  • Each actuator and thus plug is assigned its own rocker arm.
  • the rocker arm 106A is associated with the actuator 84
  • the rocker arm 106B is associated with the actuator 86
  • the rocker arm 106C is associated with the actuator 88.
  • the rocker arms rotate about an axis of rotation (not shown) below the displacement track 92.
  • the axes of rotation run essentially parallel to the displacement track 92.
  • Each rocker arm has an integral control finger 108 with it. For the sake of clarity, this is designated in more detail only for the rocker arm 106C.
  • a locking cam 110 is provided. The locking cam can engage with the associated actuating element and fix it in the ready position. The effective mechanism is explained in more detail in connection with the following figure.
  • the rocker arm 106C is in a lower position.

  • the control finger 108 intervenes in this gap.
  • the guide cheek 102C and the inclined surface 104C ensure that upon movement of the rocker arm 106C, the control finger 108 can reliably dive into this gap.
  • the gap is just dimensioned so that after the immersion of a control finger, a displacement of the blocking slide 100A, 100B or 100C is no longer possible. Accordingly, this also applies to the control finger of the other rocker arms.
  • rocker arm 106C When the rocker arm 106C is moved to its upper position, which corresponds to the standby position of the operating slider 88 in which the control finger 108 is located above the blocking carriage 100C, there is room for shifting all three blocking carriages. Accordingly, then, the rocker arm 106B associated with the operating slider 86 could be transferred to a lower position. In this case, its control lever, guided by the guide cheek 102B and the inclined surface 104B, would push the blocking slide 100C to the right onto the second end piece 96. However, this would be possible because there would be a gap available through the corresponding position of rocker arm 106C.
  • Fig. 8 shows the in. from another perspective Fig. 7 shown selected components of an embodiment and turn the actuating slide 84, 86 and 88.
  • the operating slide 84 and 86 and the corresponding connector are in the ready position.
  • the actuating slide 88 and the corresponding plug are in the use position. Only the parts essential for the description of the operation of the rocker arms have been referred to.
  • the locking cam 110C can engage in a corresponding engagement 112C on the actuating slide 88.
  • Such an intervention may generally be carried out expediently as a groove.
  • An additional cam 114C is additionally provided on the actuating slide.
  • the ready position corresponding Position When the actuating slide in its upper, the ready position corresponding Position is pressed, presses the counter cam 114C against the pressure surface 116C on the rocker arm 106C. This causes the rocker arm 106C to move back to its upper position.
  • the locking cam 110C engages the engagement 112C. This creates a positive connection that holds the operating slide 88 in the upper position.
  • the rocker arm could also be spring loaded to hold the position secure regardless of the position of a skid. However, as soon as the blocking slide 100C is displaced and fixes the position of the rocker arm 106C via the control finger 108, the actuating slide 88 is securely and firmly held in its upper position.
  • the locking cam 110B is fixedly connected to the engagement 112B of the operating slider 86.
  • the counter cam 114B engages the rocker arm.
  • the blocking slide 100C prevents the control lever 108B, and thus the rocker arm 106B, from being able to move downwardly overall.
  • a travel adapter can be produced which can be operated very comfortably, but in which incorrect operation is scarcely to be expected.
  • the travel adapter in this way is still inexpensive to produce and can also be produced inexpensively and reliably, even if larger error tolerances must be allowed in mass production.
