Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector with a contactless position detection.
  • HVIL high voltage interlock
  • auxiliary contacts In the prior art, this is usually solved by lagging auxiliary contacts.
  • a conductive bridge member is often attached to the plug to connect two auxiliary contacts on the socket after the power transmission contacts are already in contact with each other. If the auxiliary contacts are connected by the bridge element, a small control current flows, which operates a relay in most cases. The relay switches the contact to load so that current can flow through the contact.
  • Such connectors are exposed to changing environmental influences.
  • both the contacts and the auxiliary contacts of the connector are sealed, so that no moisture can penetrate into the connector. Since the auxiliary contacts are often arranged offset to the contacts, the sealing of the contacts is accordingly usually formed separately from the sealing of the auxiliary contacts.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to overcome the abovementioned disadvantages and to provide a connector in which a position of the plug relative to the socket or a position of a lock can be determined, wherein the connector is inexpensive and easy to manufacture and easy to seal.
  • a connector consisting of a plug and a socket, wherein the connector has a first and a second position detection element.
  • the first and second position detecting elements are configured to contactlessly detect a position of the plug relative to the socket and / or a position of a locking mechanism of the connector.
  • the first and second position detecting elements are trailing to the power transmission contacts between the socket and the plug, so that the power transmission contacts are in contact before the first and second position detecting elements enable the power to be switched to the power transmission contacts and such that the power transmission contacts are in contact with each other before the first and second position sensing elements are enabled to de-energize the contacts. Since the first and the second position detection element contact each other without contact, they can be sealed very well. About the position of the plug relative to the socket can be determined, which distance between the plug and the socket or whether the plug rests on the socket.
  • first position detection element is arranged on the socket and the second position detection element on the plug.
  • the second position detection element is registered by the first position detection element.
  • an embodiment is advantageous in which the first position detection element on the socket or the plug and the second position detection element on or in the locking mechanism are arranged.
  • the second position detection element By arranging the second position detection element on the locking mechanism, the position of the locking mechanism relative to the plug or relative to the socket can be detected. As a result, the contact with a load can be connected if the plug connection has been correctly locked and secured by the locking mechanism.
  • the position of the locking mechanism is a locked position or an unlocked position.
  • the first position detection element is a Hall sensor or a reed switch.
  • the second position detecting element is a permanent magnet or a magnetized ferrite.
  • the Hall sensor or reed switch responds to the permanent magnet or magnetised ferrite and provides a signal to switch the contact or connector load-free or a signal to load it. With the Hall sensor, a distance between the plug and socket is measurable at an approach of the plug to the socket, so that even before physical contact measures for connecting plug with socket, such as unlock the socket, can be taken.
  • the first position detection element is a wound with a coil
  • U-shaped soft iron core and the second position detection element is a soft iron rod
  • the U-shaped soft iron core with the coil induces an open magnetic circuit which can be closed by the soft iron core.
  • the U-shaped soft iron core carries the magnetic flux to its ends. As the soft iron rod approaches the ends of the U-shaped soft iron core, it continues the magnetic flux and alters the entire magnetic flux in the U-shaped soft iron core. The magnetic flux can be measured by the transmitter, whereby the distance and the position of the plug relative to the socket can be determined.
  • the first position detection element is an RFID receiver or RFID reader and the second position detection element is an RFID transponder or RFID tag. Both RFID receiver and RFID transponder are very cheap in their manufacture and their use.
  • the data such as an ID uniquely assignable to the connector, collects information or data about e.g. the plug, the specifications of the cable to the plug, the associated socket and the production data.
  • the data of the RFID transponder can be read by the RFID receiver.
  • An optical display on the socket indicates whether the plug has been inserted into the correct socket. A mechanical coding is thereby eliminated.
  • the plug is only connected to load, if it is confirmed by the transmitter that the correct plug is in the socket.
  • the connector on the socket side so on the socket includes evaluation for evaluating the first position detection element.
  • the evaluation electronics serve to read out the data generated by the first and second position detection elements and at least in part to process them. From the signals of the first and the second position detection element, a distance of the first and the second position detection element to one another can be calculated by the evaluation electronics, for example.
  • the evaluation is electrically connected to a switching element, such as a relay, to connect the contacts of the connector load-free or with load.
  • an embodiment variant in which the evaluation electronics are electrically connected to a control unit is advantageous.
  • Data of the evaluation are digital or analog transferable to the control unit.
  • the evaluation electronics at least partially forwards the data of the RFID transponder to the control unit, as a result of which the control unit can process the data.
  • a diagnosis can be checked by the connection of the transmitter with the control unit, which plug (unique connector ID) is plugged into which socket or on which socket no correct contact with the plug prevails.
  • the transmitter is integral with the controller executable.
  • a bus system For the data transmission along the cable or from the socket to the transmitter, a bus system is provided in a variant embodiment, wherein the first and / or the second position detection element is / are connected via a data bus or cable to the bus system.
  • a shield is arranged on the bus system, which shields the bus system or the data bus from interference signals.
  • the data bus or the bus system can be integrated at least partially into a cable leading to the plug.
  • the first and / or the second position detection element is in an advantageous embodiment of a plastic material at least partially encapsulated.
  • the plastic material also forms a plug-in body of the plug, a socket body of the socket or the locking mechanism.
  • the first and / or the second position detection element is / are thereby directly integrated into the plug, the socket and / or the locking mechanism.
  • the encapsulation of the first and / or the second position detection element no separate seal or assembly must be provided.
  • a plug-in body of the plug, a socket body of the socket or the locking mechanism forms a pocket in which the first or the second position-detecting element can be arranged.
  • the first or the second position detection element can be glued in, pressed in or latched into the pocket by a latching hook.
  • a shield is arranged on the first and / or the second position detection element, which is designed to shield the first and / or the second position detection element against electromagnetic interference radiation.
  • the FIG. 1 1 shows a plug connector 1 comprising a socket 20 with a socket contact body 23 and a plug 10 with a contact pin 13 corresponding to the socket contact body 23.
  • an RFID tag is provided on a side facing the plug 10.
  • Receiver 21 cast.
  • the RFID receiver 21 is electrically connected via a connecting cable to a transmitter 22.
  • the evaluation electronics 22 determines from the data supplied by the RFID receiver 21, such as signal strength to the RFID transponder 11, further values such as the distance of the RFID receiver 21 to the RFID transponder 11.
  • the evaluation electronics 22 is not electrically connected to one shown control unit connected via a 2-wire bus line 25 and outputs the data read from the RFID receiver at least in part to the control unit.
  • the plug 10 comprises, in addition to the contact pin 13, a plug body 14 whose plastic body encloses a cast-in RFID transponder 11 at a position lying in the radial direction in the radial direction.
  • the RFID receiver 21 At least the RFID receiver recognizes that the signal transmitted by the RFID transponder 11 is weak and the plug 10 with the RFID transponder 11 is not in the immediate vicinity.
  • the position is passed from the transmitter 22 to the controller.
  • the control unit retains a load-free state of the socket 20 based on the data or the information of the evaluation electronics. At the socket contact body 23 so no power, or no voltage is applied.
  • FIG. 2 shows a connector as in FIG. 1 comprising a plug 10 and a socket 20.
  • the contact pin 13 in contact with the socket contact body 23.
  • the RFID transponder 11 By contacting the RFID transponder 11 is the RFID receiver 21 directly approximated, so that the position of the RFID receiver 21 of the connector 10 to the socket 20 as directly adjacent or in Contact is detected.
  • the adjacent position of the plug 10 to the socket 20 is forwarded by the transmitter 22 to the controller.
  • the control unit starts an electronic timer, which determines a waiting time. After the waiting time has elapsed, power is switched to the socket.
  • FIG. 3 a connector 10 is shown with a locking device.
  • the plug 10 is locked to a socket on which it is applied by the locking ring 12 is rotated about the plug body 14 until it engages locking tabs formed in formed on the socket locking lugs.
  • the locking ring 12 forms with its locking tabs and the locking lugs the locking device.
  • the position of the RFID transponder 11 in the latched state sits opposite an RFID receiver, so that it is detected by the RFID receiver whether the RFID transponder 11 rests against the RFID receiver and thus whether the locking ring 12 is locked correctly. Only then will this information be passed on and based on the connector connected to power.
  • FIG. 4 shows a locking ring 12 from a frontal view, so that the RFID transponder 11 can be seen in its original position and in the RFID transponder 11 'in its locked or latched position.
  • an RFID transponder can be arranged on a contact pin and the RFID receiver on a bottom surface of the socket.
