Description

Beschreibungdescription

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a holding frame for connector modules according to the preamble of independent claim 1.

Derartige Halterahmen dienen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen, wobei der Halterahmen mit verschiedenen Steckverbindermodulen bestückt und anschließend in ein Steckverbindergehäuse eingesetzt und mit diesem verschraubt wird. Dabei muss der Halterahmen mechanisch stabil sein, um den auftretenden Steck- und Ziehkräften beim Zusammenfügen beziehungsweise Trennen der Steckverbindung standhalten zu können.Such holding frames are used to hold connector modules, the holding frame being fitted with various connector modules and then inserted into a connector housing and screwed to it. The holding frame must be mechanically stable in order to be able to withstand the plugging and pulling forces that occur when joining or disconnecting the plug connection.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der DE 197 07 120 C1 ist ein Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule bekannt. Der Halterahmen besteht aus zwei Hälften, die über ein Gelenk miteinander verbunden sind. In Ausnehmungen der Seitenflächen der jeweiligen Hälfte greifen Rasthaken der Steckverbindermodule ein. Das Gelenk beziehungsweise die endseitigen Gelenke sind in den Befestigungsenden des Halterahmens angeordnet. Beim Aufschrauben des Halterahmens auf eine Befestigungsfläche richten sich die Rahmenteile derart aus, dass die Seitenteile des Halterahmens rechtwinklig zur Befestigungsfläche ausgerichtet sind. Dadurch sind die Steckverbindermodule im Halterahmen fixiert.From the DE 197 07 120 C1 a holding frame for connector modules is known. The holding frame consists of two halves that are connected to each other via a joint. Snap hooks of the connector modules engage in recesses in the side surfaces of the respective half. The joint or the end joints are arranged in the fastening ends of the holding frame. When the holding frame is screwed onto a fastening surface, the frame parts align themselves in such a way that the side parts of the holding frame are aligned at right angles to the fastening surface. As a result, the connector modules are fixed in the holding frame.

Der Halterahmen der DE 197 07 120 C1 besitzt keine eindeutig definierte offene Stellung zur Bestückung des Halterahmens mit Steckverbindermodulen. Daraus folgt gelegentlich eine etwas sperrige Montage, insbesondere bei ungeübten Personen.The holding frame of the DE 197 07 120 C1 has no clearly defined open position for fitting the holding frame with connector modules. This sometimes results in a somewhat bulky installation, especially for inexperienced people.

Bei erfolgreicher Bestückung des Halterahmens mit 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.If the holding frame is successfully fitted with connector modules, it must be brought into a closed state or into a closed position so that the connector modules are fixed. There is no fixed closed state for the closed state of the holding frame of the prior art, so that the holding frame can open accidentally, as a result of which the modules can fall out of their anchoring.

Durch eine reine gelenkige Verbindung besteht nicht immer ein definierter elektrischer Kontakt zwischen den Hälften des Halterahmens. Dadurch kann ein zuverlässiger Einsatz des Halterahmens zu Erdungszwecken nicht gewährleistet werden.A purely articulated connection does not always result in a defined electrical contact between the halves of the holding frame. As a result, reliable use of the holding frame for earthing purposes cannot be guaranteed.

Die DE 20 2012 103 360 U1 zeigt Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule, der zwei Rahmenhälften aufweist, die durch Linearverschieben der einen Rahmenhälfte relativ zur anderen Rahmenhälfte miteinander verrastbar sind.The DE 20 2012 103 360 U1 shows holding frame for connector modules, which has two frame halves that can be locked together by linear displacement of one frame half relative to the other frame half.

Die CN 204 205 152 U zeigt einen Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule. Der Halterahmen besteht aus zwei Hälften, die über ein Gelenk und an den jeweiligen Enden über Spiralfedern miteinander verbunden sind. Während des gesamten Bestückungsvorgangs des Halterahmens muss gegen die Federkraft der Spiralfeder gearbeitet werden.The CN 204 205 152 U shows a holding frame for connector modules. The holding frame consists of two halves, which are connected to each other via a joint and at the respective ends via spiral springs. During the entire assembly process of the holding frame, work must be carried out against the spring force of the coil spring.

Die CN 202 084 755 U zeigt einen Halterahmen, der aus zwei über ein Gelenk miteinander verbundenen Hälften besteht. In der Nähe des Gelenks ist eine Schraube angeordnet, die die Hälften in der geschlossenen Position blockieren kann.The CN 202 084 755 U shows a holding frame, which consists of two halves interconnected via a joint. There is a screw near the joint that can lock the halves in the closed position.

Die CN 201 656 162 U zeigt einen Halterahmen für Steckverbindermodule. Der Halterahmen besteht aus zwei Hälften, die an den jeweiligen Enden über Spiralfedern miteinander verbunden sind. Durch die Spiralfedern werden die Hälften longitudinal zueinander hingezogen. Beim Bestücken des Halterahmens mit Steckverbindermodulen muss darauf geachtet werden, dass die Enden der Halterahmen gleichweit voneinander entfernt werden, damit ein leichtes Einsetzen der Steckverbindermodule möglich ist. Beim Zurückführen der Hälften muss weiterhin darauf geachtet werden, dass die Enden gleichermaßen parallel zurückgeführt werden, da die Module ansonsten in den Seitenteilen der Hälften verhaken.The CN 201 656 162 U shows a holding frame for connector modules. The holding frame consists of two halves, which are connected to each other at the respective ends via spiral springs. The halves are drawn longitudinally towards each other by the spiral springs. When assembling the holding frame with connector modules, care must be taken that the ends the holding frame must be equally spaced apart so that the connector modules can be easily inserted. When returning the halves, care must also be taken to ensure that the ends are equally returned in parallel, otherwise the modules will get caught in the side parts of the halves.

Insgesamt ist der Bestückungsprozess der CN 204 205 152 U sehr umständlich und führt häufig zu Verklemmungen bzw. Verhakungen der Steckverbindermodule.Overall, the assembly process is the CN 204 205 152 U very cumbersome and often leads to jamming or snagging of the connector modules.

Aufgabenstellungtask

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin einen Halterahmen vorzuschlagen der einfach handhabbar und vielseitig einsetzbar ist.The object of the invention is to propose a holding frame that is easy to handle and versatile.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of independent claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Halterahmen ist dazu vorgesehen Steckverbindermodule aufzunehmen und anschließend in ein Steckverbindergehäuse eingebaut zu werden. Der Halterahmen besteht aus zwei miteinander verbindbaren Hälften, einer ersten Hälfte und einer zweiten Hälfte. Der Halterahmen weist zumindest ein erstes Sperrelement auf.The holding frame according to the invention is intended to accommodate connector modules and then to be installed in a connector housing. The holding frame consists of two interconnectable halves, a first half and a second half. The holding frame has at least one first locking element.

Die Hälften sind in zumindest zwei Positionen zueinander ausrichtbar und über das erste Sperrelement in zumindest zwei Positionen zueinander fixierbar. Die Ausrichtbarkeit der Hälften wird über die gelenkige Verbindung erzielt, die weiter unten noch genauer beschrieben ist.The halves can be aligned with one another in at least two positions and can be fixed with one another in at least two positions via the first locking element. The alignability of the halves is achieved via the articulated connection, which is described in more detail below.

Vorteilhafterweise weist der Halterahmen endseitig jeweils einen Drehpunkt auf, wobei die Verbindungslinie der Drehpunkte eine Drehachse bildet, die parallel zu den Seitenflächen der Hälften verläuft. Entlang der Drehachse können die Hälften des Halterahmens gedreht und zueinander ausgerichtet werden. Die Drehpunkte werden in der Regel von einem Gelenkkopf gebildet, der in einer passenden Gelenkaufnahme geführt wird und weiter unten noch näher beschrieben ist.The holding frame advantageously has a pivot point at the end, the connecting line of the pivot points forming an axis of rotation which runs parallel to the side surfaces of the halves. The halves of the holding frame can be rotated along the axis of rotation and aligned with one another. The fulcrums are usually formed by a joint head, which is guided in a suitable joint holder and is described in more detail below.

Vorzugsweise weist das erste Sperrelement eine bogenförmige Form auf. Man könnte auch von einer U-Form sprechen. Ein Ende des Sperrelements ist an der ersten Hälfte und das andere Ende des Sperrelements ist an der zweiten Hälfte gehalten.The first locking element preferably has an arcuate shape. One could also speak of a U-shape. One end of the locking element is held on the first half and the other end of the locking element is held on the second half.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das erste Sperrelement unter einer Vorspannung an den Hälften befestigt ist und wenn durch die Vorspannung eine Kraft ausgeübt wird, die den Halterahmen in einer offenen Position oder in einer geschlossenen Position fixiert. Die durch die Vorspannung anliegende Kraft wird zur Fixierung des Halterahmens in einer geschlossenen oder einer offenen Position genutzt. Bei der Ausrichtung der Hälften muss der Benutzer zunächst eine Gegenkraft überwinden, bis der Halterahmen in die jeweilige Position (offen oder geschlossen) verbleibt beziehungsweise in dieser Position fixiert ist.It is particularly advantageous if the first locking element is fastened to the halves under a prestress and if a force is exerted by the prestress that fixes the holding frame in an open position or in a closed position. The force applied by the preload is used to fix the holding frame in a closed or an open position. When aligning the halves, the user must first overcome a counterforce until the holding frame remains in the respective position (open or closed) or is fixed in this position.

Die aus der Vorspannung des ersten Sperrelements resultierende Kraft wirkt auf die stirnseitigen Gelenke beziehungsweise auf die Endpunkte der Drehachse des Halterahmens. Je nachdem in welcher Ausrichtung sich der Halterahmen gerade befindet, wirkt eine resultierende Kraft auf die gelenkige Verbindung und zwingt den Halterahmen in eine geschlossene oder offene Position.The force resulting from the pretensioning of the first locking element acts on the front joints or on the end points of the axis of rotation of the holding frame. Depending on the orientation of the holding frame, a resultant force acts on the articulated connection and forces the holding frame into a closed or open position.

Durch die Vorspannung kann der Halterahmen sowohl in einer offenen Position wie auch in einer geschlossenen Position fixiert werden. Mit dem Sperrelement ist eine Fixierung in beiden Positionen gleichermaßen möglich.The holding frame can be fixed both in an open position and in a closed position by the pretensioning. Fixation in both positions is equally possible with the locking element.

Vorzugsweise weist der Halterahmen zumindest ein zweites Sperrelement auf. Dadurch ist der Halterahmen mechanisch stabil in seiner Ausrichtungsmöglichkeit.The holding frame preferably has at least one second locking element. As a result, the holding frame is mechanically stable in its alignment option.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es wenn auch das zweite Sperrelement unter einer Vorspannung an den Hälften befestigt ist. Diese Vorspannung kann die Fixierung durch das erste Sperrelement unterstützen.It is particularly advantageous if the second locking element is also fastened to the halves under a prestress. This bias can support the fixation by the first locking element.

Vorteilhafterweise bestehen die Hälften aus einem metallischen Material. In einem geschlossenen Zustand stehen die Hälften in einem elektrisch leitenden Kontakt zueinander. Die elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen den Hälften kann auch durch das Sperrelement bewirkt beziehungsweise unterstützt werden. Dazu muss das Sperrelement beziehungsweise müssen die Sperrelemente ebenfalls aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material bestehen.The halves advantageously consist of a metallic material. In a closed state, the halves are in electrically conductive contact with one another. The electrically conductive connection between the halves can also be brought about or supported by the blocking element. For this purpose, the blocking element or the blocking elements must also consist of an electrically conductive material.

Mit offener Position ist gemeint, dass die Hälften entlang der Trennungslinie in einen Winkel α ungleich 180° zueinander stehen. 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 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.An open position means that the halves are at an angle α not equal to 180 ° to one another along the dividing line. The angle is preferably 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 into the holding frame. In the closed position, the halves are at an angle of approximately 180 ° or exactly 180 ° to one another. The halves are therefore parallel to each other in the closed position.

Über das Sperrelement werden die beiden Hälften zuverlässig 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.The two halves are reliably brought into electrical contact with one another via the locking element. This happens on the one hand via the locking element itself, provided that it is made of an electrically conductive material. In addition, the pretension of the locking element presses the joint head of one half into the joint holder of the other half, which creates a reliable electrical contact.

Die Figuren enthalten teilweise vereinfachte, schematische Darstellungen. Zum Teil werden für gleiche, aber gegebenenfalls nicht identische Elemente identische Bezugszeichen verwendet. Verschiedene Ansichten gleicher Elemente könnten unterschiedlich skaliert sein.The figures contain partially simplified, schematic representations. Identical reference numerals are sometimes used for identical, but possibly not identical elements. Different views of the same elements could be scaled differently.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Halterahmen 1 in einer geschlossenen Position. Der Halterahmen 1 besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei Hälften 4, 5, die über ein Gelenk 2, 3 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.The Figure 1 shows a holding frame 1 in a closed position. The holding frame 1 essentially consists of two halves 4, 5, which are connected to one another via a joint 2, 3. For this purpose, half 5 has a joint head 2 on the respective end faces, which engages in a joint receptacle 3 of the opposite half 4 provided for this purpose. One speaks here of an articulated connection of the two halves 4, 5 of the holding frame.

Der Halterahmen 1 weist ein erstes Sperrelement 7 auf, welches im Wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet ist. Das erste Sperrelement 7 ist in Figur 7 dargestellt. Die Enden des ersten Sperrelements 7 sind um 90° abgebogen. Die abgebogenen Bereiche bilden so genannte Rasthaken 9 aus.The holding frame 1 has a first locking element 7, which is essentially U-shaped. The first locking element 7 is in Figure 7 shown. The ends of the first locking element 7 are bent through 90 °. The bent areas form so-called latching hooks 9.

Die Hälften 4, 5 des Halterahmens 1 weisen jeweils eine Ausnehmung 6 auf. Die Rasthaken 9 des ersten Sperrelements greifen in die Ausnehmungen 6 ein, wodurch das erste Sperrelement 7 an der Innenseite einer Stirnseite des Halterahmens 1 fixiert ist.The halves 4, 5 of the holding frame 1 each have a recess 6. The latching hooks 9 of the first locking element engage in the recesses 6, as a result of which the first locking element 7 is fixed on the inside of an end face of the holding frame 1.

Das erste Sperrelement 7 wird unter einer Vorspannung in die Ausnehmungen 6 eingesetzt. Die Enden des ersten Sperrelements 7 üben durch die Vorspannung eine Kraft entlang einer virtuellen Spannungslinie 10 zueinander aus. In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist eine Mittellinie 11 des Gelenkkopfes 2 beziehungsweise der gelenkigen Verbindung der Hälften 4, 5 des Halterahmens 1 eingezeichnet.The first locking element 7 is inserted into the recesses 6 under a prestress. The ends of the first locking element 7 exert a force on one another along a virtual tension line 10 due to the prestress. In the Figures 1 and 2 a center line 11 of the joint head 2 or the articulated connection of the halves 4, 5 of the holding frame 1 is shown.

Im Folgenden wird die Funktionsweise des ersten Sperrelements 7 genauer erläutert. Durch die Vorspannung des ersten Sperrelements 7 wird eine Kraft auf die gelenkige Verbindung des Halterahmens 1 ausgeübt. Eine daraus resultierende Kraft veranlasst die Hälften 4, 5 sich in einer geschlossenen und/oder offenen Position zueinander zu stellen. Das bedeutet, dass durch das Öffnen des Halterahmens 1 über einen bestimmten Punkt hinaus dieser in der offenen Position bleibt. Beim anschließenden Zusammenführen der Hälften 4, 5 bleiben diese anschließend in der geschlossenen Position.The mode of operation of the first locking element 7 is explained in more detail below. The prestressing of the first locking element 7 exerts a force on the articulated connection of the holding frame 1. A resulting force causes the halves 4, 5 to face each other in a closed and / or open position. This means that when the holding frame 1 is opened beyond a certain point, it remains in the open position. When the halves 4, 5 are subsequently brought together, they then remain in the closed position.

Durch die resultierende Kraft des Sperrelements 7, 7', 107 entsteht eine Spannungslinie 10 im Bereich des Gelenks 2, 3 bzw. der gelenkigen Verbindung. Befindet sich die Spannungslinie 10 oberhalb der Mittellinie des Gelenks 2, 3, werden die Hälften 4, 5 in eine geschlossene Position des Halterahmens 1 zueinander geführt (Figur 1). Dabei wird ein vom Gelenkkopf 2 abgehender erster Anschlag 12 gegen einen ersten Anschlag 13 der ersten Hälfte 4 gedrückt. Befindet sich die Spannungslinie 10 unterhalb der Mittellinie 11, wird ein zweiter, vom Gelenkkopf 2 abstehender Anschlag 14 gegen einen zweiten Anschlag 15 der ersten Hälfte 4 gedrückt. Dadurch werden die Hälften 4, 5 beziehungsweise wird der Halterahmen 1 in einer offenen Position fixiert (Figur 2).The resulting force of the locking element 7, 7 ', 107 creates a tension line 10 in the area of the joint 2, 3 or the articulated connection. If the tension line 10 is above the center line of the joint 2, 3, the halves 4, 5 are guided to one another in a closed position of the holding frame 1 ( Figure 1 ). A first stop 12 coming from the joint head 2 is pressed against a first stop 13 of the first half 4. If the tension line 10 is below the center line 11, a second stop 14 projecting from the joint head 2 is pressed against a second stop 15 of the first half 4. As a result, the halves 4, 5 or the holding frame 1 are fixed in an open position ( Figure 2 ).

Auf einer gegenüberliegenden, innenliegenden Stirnseite des Halterahmens 1 ist ein zweites Sperrelement 7' fixiert. Dieses Sperrelement ist im Wesentlichen meanderförmig gestaltet und weist am jeweiligen Ende Rasthaken 9' auf, die in Ausnehmungen 6 an den Hälften 4, 5 gehalten sind. Eine Schlaufe des meanderförmigen, zweiten Sperrelements 7' befindet sich in Höhe des Gelenks 2, 3. Das meanderförmige zweite Sperrelement 7' unterstützt im Wesentlichen die gelenkige Verbindung der Hälften 4, 5 und stellt eine Rückstellkraft von der offenen zur geschlossenen Position bereit. Dadurch kann der Halterahmen leichter bedient werden.A second locking element 7 'is fixed on an opposite, inner end face of the holding frame 1. This locking element is essentially meandering and has latching hooks 9 'at the respective end, which are held in recesses 6 on the halves 4, 5. A loop of the meandering, second locking element 7 'is located at the level of the joint 2, 3. The meandering second locking element 7' essentially supports the articulated connection of the halves 4, 5 and provides a restoring force from the open to the closed position. This makes it easier to operate the holding frame.

Steckverbindermodule 19 sind seit langem bekannt und beispielsweise in der DE 197 07 120 C1 beschrieben. 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 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 for example in the DE 197 07 120 C1 described. The connector modules 19 are provided with projecting, approximately rectangular holding means 20 and spring-elastic latching hooks 21. In the side parts 22 of the halves 4, 5, openings 23 are provided which are closed on all sides and into which the holding means 20 are immersed when the connector modules 19 are inserted into the holding frame 1.

Der Halterahmen 1 weist eine Erdungsbuchse 24 auf, in welche ein Stift (nicht gezeigt) eines gegenüberliegenden Halterahmens (nicht gezeigt) eingreifen kann.The holding frame 1 has an earthing bush 24, into which a pin (not shown) of an opposite holding frame (not shown) can engage.

Die Figuren 9 und 10 zeigen einen Halterahmen 1 mit einem alternativen Sperrelement 107. Das Sperrelement 107 besteht aus einem federelastischen Drahtstück, welches sich an die Rahmenform des Halterahmens 1 anschmiegt. Daher ist diese Ausführungsform besonders zu bevorzugen. Das Sperrblech 107 in den Figuren 9 und 10 unterscheidet sich geometrisch von den Sperrblechen 7, 7' der Figuren 1-5. Die Funktionsweise ist jedoch im Wesentlichen gleich. Ein Unterschied liegt jedoch darin, dass das alternative Sperrelement unterhalb vom Gelenk 2, 3 angeordnet ist und dadurch die Rahmenhälften direkt zusammenzieht. Mit unterhalb des Gelenks 2, 3 ist hier gemeint, dass das alternative Sperrelement 107 entgegen der Einschubrichtung der Steckverbindermodule 19 angeordnet ist.The Figures 9 and 10 show a holding frame 1 with an alternative locking element 107. The locking element 107 consists of a spring-elastic piece of wire which conforms to the frame shape of the holding frame 1. This embodiment is therefore particularly preferred. The locking plate 107 in the Figures 9 and 10 differs geometrically from the locking plates 7, 7 ' Figures 1-5 , However, the way it works is essentially the same. One difference, however, is that the alternative locking element is arranged below the hinge 2, 3 and thus the frame halves directly contracts. By below the joint 2, 3 is meant here that the alternative locking element 107 is arranged counter to the insertion direction of the connector modules 19.
