Steckverbindermodulen. Daraus folgt gelegentlich eine etwas sperrige Montage, insbesondere bei ungeübten Personen. Bei erfolgreicher Bestückung des Halterahmens mit Connector modules. This sometimes results in a somewhat bulky assembly, especially inexperienced people. With successful assembly of the holding frame with
Steckverbindermodulen muss dieser in einen geschlossen Zustand beziehungsweise in eine geschlossene Position gebracht werden, damit die Steckverbindermodule fixiert sind. Für den geschlossenen Zustand des Halterahmens des Standes der Technik gibt es keinen fixierten geschlossenen Zustand, so dass sich der Halterahmen versehentlich öffnen kann, wodurch die Module aus ihrer Verankerung fallen können. Connector modules must be brought into a closed state or in a closed position, so that the connector modules are fixed. For the closed state of the prior art support frame, there is no fixed closed state so that the support frame may inadvertently open, allowing the modules to fall out of their anchorage.

Die CN 204 205 152 U zeigt einen Halterahmen, der aus zwei Hälften besteht, die gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind. Die Hälften können - zum Bestücken des Halterahmens mit Steckverbindermodulen - in eine offene Winkelstellung gebracht werden. Hierbei muss gegen die Kraft einer Feder gearbeitet werden. Die Rückstellkraft der Feder zieht die Hälften 1 , 2 nach der Bestückung wieder in eine geschlossene Position zurück. The CN 204 205 152 U shows a holding frame, which consists of two halves, which are hinged together. The halves can - be brought into an open angular position - for loading the holding frame with connector modules. Here you have to work against the force of a spring. The restoring force of the spring pulls the halves 1, 2 back to a closed position after assembly.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das erste Sperrelement einseitig an einer Hälfte des Halterahmens fixiert ist und anderseitig kraftschlüssig mit der anderen Hälfte des Halterahmens verbunden ist. Anstatt einer reinen kraftschlüssigen Verbindung kann auch eine Form-Kraftschluss- Verbindung vorgesehen sein. Dies wird im Folgenden näher erläutert. It when the first blocking element is fixed on one side to one half of the holding frame and the other side is non-positively connected to the other half of the holding frame is particularly advantageous. Instead of a pure non-positive connection and a form-adhesion connection can be provided. This will be explained in more detail below.
Vorzugsweise ist an zumindest einer Hälfte des Halterahmens stirnseitig einen Dorn vorgesehen. Das erste Sperrelement weist zumindest zwei zugehörige Aussparungen auf, wobei der Dorn in die zumindest zwei Aussparungen eingreifen kann und dadurch die Hälften in zumindest zwei Positionen zueinander ausrichtbar und fixierbar sind. Alternativ dazu sind an zumindest einer Hälfte des Halterahmens stirnseitig zumindest zwei Dorne vorgesehen und das erste Sperrelement weist lediglich eine Aussparung auf. Die zumindest zwei Dorne können jeweils in die Preferably, a mandrel is provided on the front side on at least one half of the holding frame. The first blocking element has at least two associated recesses, wherein the mandrel can engage in the at least two recesses and thereby the halves are at least two positions aligned and fixable to each other. Alternatively, at least two mandrels are provided on at least one half of the holding frame at the front end, and the first blocking element has only one cutout. The at least two spines can each in the
Aussparung eingreifen und dadurch die Hälften in zumindest zwei Positionen zueinander ausrichten. Recess engage and thereby align the halves in at least two positions to each other.
Vorzugsweise steht in beiden beschriebenen Fällen das Sperrelement unter Spannung, so dass eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung besteht. Da das Sperrelement Ausnehmungen aufweist, die in etwa der Form des Dorns beziehungsweise der Dorne nachempfunden sind, besteht hier jedoch auch ein Formschluss, so dass insgesamt von einer kraft- und gleichzeitig formschlüssigen Verbindung gesprochen werden kann. Preferably, in both cases described, the blocking element is under tension, so that a non-positive connection exists. Since the blocking element has recesses which are modeled approximately in the shape of the mandrel or the mandrels, but there is also a form-fitting, so that can be spoken of a total force and simultaneously positive connection.
Vorteilhafterweise ist der Dorn oder sind die Dorne zylinderförmig ausgebildet. Durch die zylindrische Form kann das Sperrelement leicht über den Dorn beziehungsweise die Dorne gleiten. Advantageously, the mandrel or mandrels are cylindrical. Due to the cylindrical shape, the locking element can easily slide over the mandrel or mandrels.
Vorzugsweise verfügt der Halterahmen über Gelenke, mit denen die Hälften gelenkig miteinander verbundenen sind. Eine solche gelenkige Verbindung hat sich bewährt, wie dem oben zitierten Stand der Technik zu entnehmen ist. Preferably, the support frame has joints with which the halves are hinged together. Such an articulated connection has proven itself, as can be seen from the prior art cited above.
Die Ausrichtbarkeit wird durch die gelenkige Verbindung der beiden Hälften des Halterahmens erreicht. Die Fixierbarkeit wird durch das Sperrelement erreicht. Durch das Zusammenspiel von gelenkiger  The alignability is achieved by the articulated connection of the two halves of the holding frame. The fixability is achieved by the blocking element. Through the interaction of more articulated
Verbindung und Fixierbarkeit in zwei Positionen wird der Halterahmen besonders bedienerfreundlich. Connection and fixability in two positions makes the support frame particularly user-friendly.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Halterahmen ein zweites Sperrelement auf, wobei das zweite Sperrelement einseitig an der ersten Hälfte des Halterahmens fixiert ist und anderseitig mit der zweiten Hälfte des Halterahmens formschlüssig verbunden ist. Die formschlüssige Verbindung ist durch eine Bewegung des Fixierblechs, von einer Stirnfläche der zweiten Hälfte weg, lösbar. Wenn man das Sperrelement von der Stirnfläche einer Hälfte in axialer Richtung wegdrückt, wird das Sperrelement aus der formschlüssigen Verbindung gelöst. Dadurch können die beiden Hälften zumindest in zwei verschiedenen Positionen zueinander gebracht werden. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holding frame has a second blocking element, wherein the second Blocking element is fixed on one side to the first half of the holding frame and on the other side is positively connected to the second half of the holding frame. The positive connection is by a movement of the Fixierblechs, away from an end face of the second half, solvable. If you push the locking element away from the end face of a half in the axial direction, the locking element is released from the positive connection. As a result, the two halves can be brought to each other at least in two different positions.
Vorteilhafterweise kann der Halterahmen auch zwei zweite Sperrelemente aufweisen, die sich an den jeweiligen Stirnseiten des Halterahmens befinden. Advantageously, the holding frame may also have two second locking elements, which are located on the respective end faces of the holding frame.
Damit die Fixierung über das zweite Sperrelement funktionieren kann, weist das zweite Sperrelement zumindest zwei Löcher auf und eine zugeordnete Hälfte weist zumindest einen Dorn auf, wobei der Dorn in die zumindest zwei Löcher eingreifen kann. Befindet sich der Dorn im Loch des Sperrelements welches sich im oberen Bereich des U-Bogens befindet, befindet sich der Halterahmen in einer offenen Position und kann mit Steckverbindermodulen bestückt werden. Befindet sich der Dorn in einem Loch im unteren Bereich des U-Bogens des Sperrelements, befindet sich der Halterahmen in einer geschlossenen Position. In dieser geschlossenen Position können die Steckverbindermodule nicht mehr aus dem Halterahmen herausfallen oder verrutschen. So that the fixation can work via the second blocking element, the second blocking element has at least two holes and an assigned half has at least one mandrel, wherein the mandrel can engage in the at least two holes. If the mandrel is located in the hole of the locking element which is in the upper area of the U-bend, the retaining frame is in an open position and can be equipped with connector modules. When the mandrel is in a hole in the lower portion of the barrier U-bend, the support frame is in a closed position. In this closed position, the connector modules can not fall out of the support frame or slip.
Alternativ dazu kann das zweite Sperrelement nur ein Loch enthalten und die zugeordnete Hälfte weist zumindest zwei Dorne auf, wobei die Dorne in das Loch eingreifen können. Auch mit dieser Lösung könnte eine Fixierung des Halterahmens in eine offene und eine geschlossene Position erreicht werden. Vorteilhafterweise sind beide Hälften des Halterahmens aus einem metallischen Material gefertigt. In einem geschlossenen Zustand des Halterahmens stehen die Hälften in einem elektrisch leitenden Kontakt zueinander. Die oben erwähnte gelenkige Verbindung reicht für einen definierten elektrischen Kontakt zwischen den Halterahmen nichts aus. Über das Sperrelement werden die beiden Hälften zuverlässig in Alternatively, the second locking member may include only one hole and the associated half has at least two mandrels, wherein the mandrels may engage in the hole. With this solution, a fixation of the holding frame could be achieved in an open and a closed position. Advantageously, both halves of the holding frame are made of a metallic material. In a closed state of the holding frame, the halves are in an electrically conductive contact each other. The above-mentioned articulated connection is not sufficient for a defined electrical contact between the support frame. About the blocking element, the two halves are reliable in
elektrischen Kontakt zueinander gebracht. Dies geschieht zum einen über das Sperrelement selbst, sofern es aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material gefertigt ist. Außerdem wird durch die Vorspannung des Sperrelements der Gelenkkopf einer Hälfte in die Gelenkaufnahme der anderen Hälfte gedrückt, wodurch ein zuverlässiger elektrischer Kontakt entsteht. made electrical contact with each other. This happens on the one hand via the blocking element itself, if it is made of an electrically conductive material. In addition, is pressed by the bias of the locking element of the condyle of one half in the joint seat of the other half, whereby a reliable electrical contact is formed.
Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung werden die Begriffe offener oder In the present invention, the terms become more open or
geschlossener Zustand und offene oder geschlossene Position synonym verwendet. closed state and open or closed position used synonymously.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Halterahmen 1 in einer geöffneten Position. In der geöffneten Position sind die Seitenteile 22 der jeweiligen Hälften 4, 5 nicht mehr parallel zueinander ausgerichtet. Der Halterahmen besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei Hälften 4, 5, die über ein Gelenk miteinander verbunden sind. Eine Hälfte 5 weist dazu an den jeweiligen Stirnseiten einen Gelenkkopf 2 auf, der in eine dafür vorgesehene Gelenkaufnahme 3 der gegenüberstehenden Hälfte 4 eingreift. Man spricht hier von einer gelenkigen Verbindung der beiden Hälften 4, 5 des Halterahmens. FIG. 1 shows a holding frame 1 in an open position. In the open position, the side parts 22 of the respective halves 4, 5 are no longer aligned parallel to each other. The holding frame consists essentially of two halves 4, 5, which are connected to each other via a hinge. One half 5 has on the respective end faces on a joint head 2, which engages in a designated joint receptacle 3 of the opposite half 4. This is called an articulated connection of the two halves 4, 5 of the holding frame.
An einer Stirnseite 6 einer Hälfte 4 des Halterahmens 1 ist ein At an end face 6 of a half 4 of the holding frame 1 is a
Sperrelement 7 fixiert. Die Fixierung wird beispielsweise über eine Locking element 7 fixed. The fixation is for example via a
Schraube 8 realisiert. Eine Nietverbindung wäre hier auch möglich. Durch eine Schraubverbindung könnte das Sperrelement 7 jedoch später einfach ausgetauscht werden, wenn die Funktionalität nachlässt. Screw 8 realized. A riveted connection would also be possible here. However, by a screw connection, the locking element 7 could be easily replaced later if the functionality wears off.
Das Sperrelement 7 weist im Wesentlichen eine U-Form auf. Ein erster Schenkel 9 des ersten Sperrelements 7 ist an der Stirnseite 6 der Hälfte 4 befestigt. Dazu weist der erste Schenkel 9 entsprechende Öffnungen 10, 10', 10" auf. Der gegenüberliegende zweite Schenkel 1 1 des The blocking element 7 has a substantially U-shape. A first leg 9 of the first locking element 7 is fixed to the end face 6 of the half 4. For this purpose, the first leg 9 has corresponding openings 10, 10 ', 10 ". The opposite second leg 1 1 of FIG

An einer Stirnseite 13 einer Hälfte 5 des Halterahmens 1 ist ein im At an end face 13 of a half 5 of the holding frame 1 is an im
Wesentlichen zylinderförmiger Dorn 14 angeformt. Greift der Dorn 14 in eine erste Ausnehmung 12' des Sperrelements 7 ein, befindet sich der Halterahmen 1 in einer geöffneten Position. Substantially cylindrical mandrel 14 is formed. Engages the mandrel 14 in a first recess 12 'of the locking element 7, is the Holding frame 1 in an open position.
Die gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten 6', 13' der Hälften 4, 5 werden von einem zweiten Sperrelement 15 abgedeckt. Alternativ könnten die The opposite end faces 6 ', 13' of the halves 4, 5 are covered by a second blocking element 15. Alternatively, the
Stirnseiten 6', 13', genau wie die anderen Stirnseiten 6, 13, auch mit einem Sperrelement 7 bedeckt sein. Eine solche Ausführungsform ist leicht vorstellbar und wird deshalb in den Figuren nicht weiter gezeigt. Ist ein zweites Sperrelement 15 vorhanden, spricht man beim Sperrelement 7 auch von einem ersten Sperrelement 7. End faces 6 ', 13', as well as the other end faces 6, 13, also be covered with a blocking element 7. Such an embodiment is easily conceivable and will therefore not be shown further in the figures. If a second blocking element 15 is present, the blocking element 7 is also referred to as a first blocking element 7.
Ein erster Schenkel 16 des zweiten Sperrelements 15 ist im Wesentlichen über Öffnungen 19, 19', 19", in Kombination mit einer Schraube 8', an der erste Stirnseite 6' der Hälfte 4 des Halterahmens 1 befestigt. Der zweite Schenkel 17 des zweiten Sperrelements 15 ist formschlüssig an der zweiten Stirnseite 13' der gegenüberliegenden Hälfte 5 fixiert. Dazu weist der zweite Schenkel 17 des zweiten Sperrelements 15 zwei Öffnungen 18, 18' auf, in welche ein Dorn 14' der zweiten Stirnseite 13' der A first leg 16 of the second locking element 15 is fastened essentially via openings 19, 19 ', 19 ", in combination with a screw 8', to the first end side 6 'of the half 4 of the retaining frame 1. The second leg 17 of the second locking element 15 is positively fixed to the second end face 13 'of the opposite half 5. For this purpose, the second leg 17 of the second locking element 15 has two openings 18, 18', into which a mandrel 14 'of the second end face 13'
gegenüberliegenden Hälfte 5 eingreifen kann. Befindet sich der Dorn 14' in der Öffnung 18' am Ende des zweiten Schenkels 17 des zweiten opposite half 5 can intervene. Is the mandrel 14 'in the opening 18' at the end of the second leg 17 of the second
Sperrelements 15, steht der Halterahmen 1 in einer geöffneten Position zur Bestückung mit Steckverbindermodulen bereit. Befindet sich der Dorn 14 in der Öffnung 18, die weiter vom Ende entfernt ist, befindet sich der Halterahmen 1 in einer geschlossenen Position. Locking elements 15, the support frame 1 is ready in an open position for assembly with connector modules. When the mandrel 14 is in the opening 18 farther from the end, the support frame 1 is in a closed position.
Der hier vorgestellte Halterahmen 1 arbeitet mit einem ersten The holding frame 1 presented here works with a first
Sperrelement 7, welches eine im Wesentlichen kraftschlüssige Verbindung beziehungsweise Fixierung der Hälften 4, 5 herstellt, während ein zweites Sperrelement 15 auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite eine im Wesentlichen formschlüssige Verbindung beziehungsweise Fixierung der Hälften 4, 5 erzeugt. Das zweite Sperrelement 15 kann durch wegdrücken des zweiten Schenkels 17 von der zweiten Stirnseite 13' aus dem Eingriff des Dorns 14' und damit aus der formschlüssigen Fixierung befreit werden. Durch Bewegung der Hälften 4, 5 zueinander, kann der Dorn 14' in den Eingriff der jeweils anderen Öffnung 18 oder 18' gebracht werden, wodurch die oben angesprochene offene oder geschlossene Position des Blocking element 7, which produces a substantially non-positive connection or fixation of the halves 4, 5, while a second blocking element 15 on the opposite side produces a substantially positive connection or fixation of the halves 4, 5. The second locking element 15 can be freed by pushing away the second leg 17 of the second end face 13 'from the engagement of the mandrel 14' and thus from the positive fixation. By Movement of the halves 4, 5 to each other, the mandrel 14 'can be brought into engagement with the respective other opening 18 or 18', whereby the above-mentioned open or closed position of
Halterahmens 1 erreicht wird. Das gegenüberliegende Sperrelement 7 wird bei der Bewegung der Hälften 4, 5 zueinander jeweils in den Eingriff des Dorns 14 gebracht. Hier greifen die Aussparungen 12 oder 12' analog an den Dorn 14 an. Dabei steht das erste Sperrelement 7 unter einer leichten Spannung, also der Schenkel 1 1 übt eine Kraft in Richtung des anderen Schenkels 9 auf den Dorn 14 aus. Hierdurch wird eine Holding frame 1 is achieved. The opposite locking element 7 is brought in the movement of the halves 4, 5 to each other in the engagement of the mandrel 14. Here, the recesses 12 or 12 'engage analogously to the mandrel 14. In this case, the first locking element 7 is under a slight tension, so the leg 1 1 exerts a force in the direction of the other leg 9 on the mandrel 14. This will be a
kraftschlüssige beziehungsweise im Wesentlichen kraftschlüssige non-positive or substantially non-positive
Fixierung erzeugt. Fixation generated.
In der Regel wird der Halterahmen in der geschlossenen Position beim Kunden angeliefert. Der Kunde wird das zweite Sperrelement 15 axial vom Halterahmen 1 wegdrücken und die Hälften in eine geöffnete Position bewegen, bis das erste Sperrelement 7 in der geöffneten Position verrastet und das zweite Sperrelement 15 den Halterahmen 1 gleichzeitig in der geöffneten Position fixiert. Diese formschlüssige Fixierung durch das zweite Sperrelement 15 ist besonders sicher. Der Halterahmen 1 verbleibt zuverlässig in der jeweiligen Position. As a rule, the holding frame is delivered to the customer in the closed position. The customer will axially push away the second blocking element 15 from the holding frame 1 and move the halves into an open position until the first blocking element 7 locks in the open position and the second blocking element 15 fixes the holding frame 1 simultaneously in the opened position. This positive fixation by the second blocking element 15 is particularly secure. The holding frame 1 remains reliable in the respective position.
Eine Auslieferung des Halterahmens 1 in einer geöffneten Position könnte auch sinnvoll sein. Der Kunde kann dann sofort mit der Bestückung mit Steckverbindermodulen 19 beginnen. A delivery of the holding frame 1 in an open position could also be useful. The customer can then begin immediately with the assembly of connector modules 19.
Die geöffnete Position des Halterahmens 1 ist in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt. Die geschlossene Position des Halterahmens 1 ist in den Figuren 3 und 4 gezeigt. The open position of the holding frame 1 is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The closed position of the holding frame 1 is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Trennungslinie in einen Winkel α ungleich 180° zueinander stehen. Dividing line in an angle α are not equal to 180 ° to each other.
Vorzugsweise liegt der Winkel zwischen 130° bis 170°. Ein Winkel zwischen 155° und 165° hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen. In dieser Winkelstellung der Hälften können die Steckverbindermodule besonders leicht in den Halterahmen eingelegt werden. In der Preferably, the angle is between 130 ° to 170 °. An angle between 155 ° and 165 ° has proven to be particularly advantageous. In this angular position of the halves, the connector modules can be inserted particularly easily in the holding frame. In the
geschlossenen Position nehmen die Hälften einen Winkel von etwa 180° beziehungsweise genau 180° zueinander ein. Die Hälften stehen also in der geschlossenen Position parallel zueinander. closed position, the halves occupy an angle of about 180 ° or exactly 180 ° to each other. The halves are thus in the closed position parallel to each other.

Die Steckverbindermodule 19 sind mit vorstehenden, etwa rechteckförmigen Halterungsmitteln 20 und federelastischen Rasthaken 21 versehen. In den Seitenteilen 22 der Hälften 4, 5 sind als allseitig geschlossene Öffnungen ausgebildete Ausnehmungen 23 vorgesehen, in die die Halterungsmittel 20 beim Einfügen der Steckverbindermodule 19 in den Halterahmen 1 eintauchen. Connector modules 19 have long been known and described for example in DE 197 07 120 C1. The connector modules 19 are provided with projecting, approximately rectangular support means 20 and resilient locking hooks 21. In the side parts 22 of the halves 4, 5 formed as all-round closed openings recesses 23 are provided, in which the support means 20 dip when inserting the connector modules 19 in the support frame 1.

Steckverbindermodule 19 eingesetzt werden können. Zur Vorfixierung der Steckverbindermodule 19 greifen die Rasthaken 21 beim Einfügen zunächst unter die Unterkanten der Seitenteile 22 der Hälften 4, 5. Connector modules 19 can be used. For prefixing of the connector modules 19, the latching hooks 21, when inserted, first engage under the lower edges of the side parts 22 of the halves 4, 5.
Anschließend werden die Rahmenhälften 4, 5 wie oben beschrieben in eine geschlossene Position gebracht, wobei die Halterungsmittel 20 in die Ausnehmungen 23 gelangen und ein sicherer, formschlüssiger Halt der Steckverbindermodule 19 in dem Halterahmen 1 bewirkt wird. Subsequently, the frame halves 4, 5 are brought into a closed position as described above, wherein the holding means 20 reach into the recesses 23 and a secure, positive retention of the connector modules 19 in the holding frame 1 is effected.
Der Halterahmen 1 weist eine Erdungsbuchse 24 auf, in welche ein Stift (nicht gezeigt) eines gegenüberliegenden Halterahmens (nicht gezeigt) eingreifen kann. The support frame 1 has a grounding socket 24 into which a pin (not shown) of an opposite support frame (not shown) can engage.
