Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly of a connector part according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an assembly comprises a holding frame for receiving at least one modular contact insert.
  • the holding frame surrounds an opening into which at least one contact insert can be inserted.
  • a housing part has a receiving opening, into which the holding frame can be inserted in an insertion direction, and a support section, on which the holding frame rests in a position inserted into the receiving opening, the housing part having a locking opening and the holding frame having a locking device for locking the holding frame have the housing part in the inserted position, the locking device having a locking element which, in a locked position, positively engages in the locking opening of the housing part, the locking element having a locking section with an edge extending transversely to the direction of insertion, the edge in the locked position of the Locking element lies in the locking opening and is in contact with a contact edge delimiting the locking opening against the direction of insertion.
  • Such holding frames are used for modular use of contact inserts on connector parts.
  • One or more contact inserts can be arranged on such a holding frame in order to be inserted together with the holding frame in a housing of a connector part and to be connected to the housing. In this way, contact inserts can be combined with one another in a modular manner and arranged in or on a connector part via the holding frame.
  • Such contact inserts can have, for example, one or more electrical contacts.
  • the contact inserts are connected, on the one hand, to electrical lines which are fed to a plug connector and, on the other hand, form plug contacts via which the plug connector can be brought into engagement with a mating plug connector part for electrical contacting.
  • Such modular contact inserts offer the advantage of flexible combinability and thus variable use of connectors.
  • a second holding frame part can be attached to a first holding frame part, which has recesses for receiving projection elements of contact inserts, in order in this way to lock projection elements lying in the recesses and thus to lock them on the holding frame.
  • Known holding frames are provided on the frame walls of two recesses. Projection elements of contact inserts can be inserted into first recesses on an upper edge of the frame walls, while peg-like formations of the contact inserts can be latched into engagement with second recesses in the form of openings.
  • a mounting frame on which a contact insert is arranged, can be used for fixing in a receiving opening of a device housing.
  • the mounting frame consists at least partially of an electrically conductive material in order to establish an electrically conductive connection of the contact insert with the device housing.
  • the mounting frame is locked to the device housing via a plurality of locking elements.
  • the FR 2 148 699 A5 discloses an insulation block on which contact elements can be arranged, wherein this insulation block can be snapped into a holding element.
  • EP 0 999 610 A2 describes an electrical plug-in connection which has a first part with contact elements arranged therein that can be connected to lines and a second part with contact elements arranged and formed therein corresponding to the contact elements of the first part.
  • the contact elements are in contact with each other and the two parts can be locked against one another against arbitrary separation.
  • a wire spring mounted in one part is provided with at least one leg that can be deflected by the displacement movement of the parts to produce the plug connection.
  • the EP 2 648 289 A1 describes the attachment of a contact element to a base body such that the contact element can be rotated about an axis of rotation.
  • a holding frame for receiving modular contact inserts is often screwed to a housing part into which the holding frame is to be inserted. Although this ensures a mechanically firm, reliably durable connection, it requires a comparatively complex assembly process because, in order to connect the holding frame to an associated housing part, the holding frame must first be inserted into the housing part and then screwed to the housing part by screw connections.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of a connector part, in which the connection of a holding frame to a housing part can be simplified.
  • the assembly is characterized in that the locking between the holding frame and the housing part can be released and that the locking element is connected to an actuating element and can be adjusted between an unlocked position and the locked position via the actuating element.
  • the locking device can be designed in such a way that when the holding frame is inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part, the locking between the holding frame and the housing part is produced automatically by the locking element of the locking device on the side of the holding frame snapping into positive engagement with the locking opening on the part of the housing part , It is also conceivable and possible that for locking the holding frame with the Housing part of the locking element is to be brought into engagement with the locking opening by a user, for example using a suitable tool or manually with a finger, and the locking is thus to be produced manually by a user in a separate step.
  • the holding frame is inserted in the insertion direction into the receiving opening of the housing part, so that the holding frame comes into contact with the housing part, for example with lateral flange sections, with one or more support sections.
  • the holding frame thus rests on the one or more support sections, so that the holding frame — viewed axially along the direction of insertion — arrives in a defined position within the housing part.
  • the locking element exerts a clamping force on the holding frame in the inserted direction by engaging in the locking opening of the housing part in the locked position.
  • the holding frame is pressed into contact with the support section in the direction of insertion, so that the holding frame bears against the support section under pretension and is therefore locked to the support section without play.
  • the locking element is thus designed such that a clamping force is exerted on the holding frame in the direction of insertion. If the locking between the holding frame and the housing part is established, the holding frame is thus pre-stressed in the housing part.
  • the holding frame and the housing part for example, each be made of a metallic, electrically conductive material.
  • the holding frame is thus in electrical contact with the housing part, so that the holding frame and the housing part are, for example, at the same ground potential (so-called PE contacting).
  • the holding frame and the housing part can be produced, for example, as zinc die-cast parts or as aluminum die-cast parts and are thus electrically conductive.
  • the holding frame and / or the housing part can be produced as plastic parts, for example as plastic injection molded parts, in which case electrically conductive sections, for example in the form of contacting plates or the like, can be provided in or on the holding frame or the housing part.
  • the holding frame can rest in the inserted position with a laterally projecting flange section on the support section.
  • flange sections are provided on both sides of the holding frame, each of which rests on one or more support sections within the receiving opening of the housing part when the holding frame is inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part.
  • An assigned mating connector part can, for example, be attached to the connector part, the component of which is the holding frame inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part, in order to make electrical contact, for example, with electrical contacts of the modular contact inserts arranged on the holding frame.
  • a contact element can be arranged on the flange section of the holding frame which, when the mating connector part is attached to the connector part assigned to the holding frame, makes electrical contact with a mating contact element of the mating connector part, so that, for example, PE contact is made between the holding frame and the mating connector part.
  • the locking between the holding frame and the housing part is preferably releasable. If the holding frame is inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part, the lock is produced and the holding frame is thus locked to the housing part. In order to again remove the holding frame from the housing part, the locking can be released so that the holding frame can be removed from the receiving opening of the housing part against the direction of insertion.
  • the locking element is connected to an actuating element and the locking element can be adjusted between an unlocked position and the locked position via the actuating element.
  • the actuating element can be designed, for example, as a separate element which is connected to the locking element in a suitable manner (for example in a form-fitting manner). It is also conceivable and possible, however, that the actuating element and the locking element are formed in one piece as an integral component and thus represent different sections of the same component.
  • the actuating element can have, for example, an engagement opening into which a tool, for example a screwdriver, can be inserted in order to move the actuating element and in this way to adjust the locking element between its locked position and the unlocked position.
  • a tool for example a screwdriver
  • the locking between the holding frame and the housing part is produced via an edge of the locking element which bears against an assigned edge of the housing part against the direction of insertion and thus blocks the holding frame against the direction of insertion relative to the housing part.
  • the edge extends transversely to the direction of insertion on a locking section of the locking element and lies in the locked position of the locking element in the locking opening of the housing part. Because the edge is in contact with a contact edge delimiting the locking opening against the insertion direction, removal of the holding frame from the housing part against the insertion direction is blocked, and moreover the holding frame can be pressed into the housing part with prestress in the insertion direction.
  • the locking element of the locking device can basically be designed in very different ways.
  • the locking element is arranged on a frame part of the holding frame so as to be pivotable about a bearing pin extending transversely to the direction of insertion.
  • the locking element can be arranged around a bearing pin on a flange section of the holding frame.
  • a locking section for example in the form of a locking lug, can be arranged on the housing part of the holding frame associated with the locking element, with which the locking element locks, when it is in its locked position.
  • the locking element when it is in the locked position, is held positively in the locked position, so that the locking between the holding frame and the housing part is not easy, at least not without releasing the locking between the locking element and the locking section on the holding frame, can be canceled.
  • the locking element as well as the actuating element can be produced as metal parts, for example as metal castings. It is also conceivable and possible to manufacture the locking element and / or the actuating element as plastic parts.
  • the locking element is formed in one piece with a frame part of the holding frame.
  • the engagement element is thus formed integrally with the frame part and can be produced, for example, as a resilient tab on the frame part.
  • the holding frame is manufactured, for example, as a plastic frame, and the plastic locking element is accordingly connected in one piece to the holding frame.
  • the locking element can be formed, for example, in one piece with a contacting element arranged on a frame part of the holding frame for electrical contacting with the support section of the housing part or attached to the contacting element and thus with the contacting element be connected.
  • the contacting element can be made, for example, as a sheet metal part, and accordingly the locking element can be made as a sheet metal tab protruding from the contacting element.
  • This variant is useful, for example, if the holding frame is made of plastic and an additional contacting element, for example in the form of a contacting plate, is used for electrical contacting with the housing part.
  • the locking element is designed as a wire spring.
  • the locking element in the form of a wire spring can be held, for example, on a contacting element arranged on a frame part of the holding frame, for example in the form of a contacting plate for electrical contacting with the support section of the housing part.
  • the wire spring can, for example, be fixed in a clamped manner between the contacting element and the frame part of the holding frame, the wire spring being so elastic that when the holding frame is inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part, the wire spring is brought into a form-fitting engagement with the locking opening on the side of the housing part in an elastic manner can or automatically snaps into engagement and can be released for unlocking from the engaged position in order to be able to remove the holding frame from the housing part.
  • the locking element can be rotated about an axis of rotation pointing along the direction of insertion.
  • the locking element can be rotated from its unlocked position into the locked position and engages in the locked position with a locking section in the locking opening of the housing part, so that the locking between the holding frame and the housing part is established.
  • the locking between the holding frame and the housing part is produced by bracing the locking element with the housing part.
  • the locking element is designed, for example, as an adjustable bracket on a frame part of the holding frame, which is in engagement with a tensioning element, for example in the form of a screw, and can be tensioned relative to the frame part via the tensioning element in such a way that the locking element in the locked position Position under tension in the locking opening of the housing part.
  • the bow-shaped locking element In an unlocked position, the bow-shaped locking element is in a relaxed position on the assigned frame part, for example the flange portion of the holding frame, so that the holding frame can be easily inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part.
  • the locking element is tensioned relative to the frame part by adjusting the tensioning element.
  • the locking element comes into positive engagement with the locking opening of the housing part, so that the holding frame is locked with respect to the housing part.
  • the tensioning element can be designed, for example, as a screw which is in threaded engagement with a threaded opening of the locking element.
  • the screw can be supported on a frame part of the holding frame, so that the bow-shaped locking element can be tensioned relative to the frame part by screwing the screw into the threaded opening.
  • the locking element By tensioning the bow-shaped locking element, the locking element can be removed from the associated frame part of the locking element, for example counter to the direction of insertion, so that the locking element comes into contact with the housing part in order to press the holding frame into contact with the housing part in the direction of insertion. Due to the tension, the holding frame is thus pressed into contact with the support section, so that the position of the holding frame is secured in the receiving opening of the housing part and, moreover, reliable electrical contact is established between the holding frame and the housing part.
  • FIGS. 1 to 6A-6C show a first embodiment of an assembly of a connector part, with a holding frame 1, which can be inserted in an insertion direction E in a housing part 3 and is held in an inserted position in the housing parts 3.

  • the contact elements 21 of the contact inserts 20 can provide electrical contacts, for example. It is also conceivable and possible that the contact elements 21 represent other contacts, for example pneumatic contacts or the like.
  • the modular contact inserts 2 are inserted into the frame opening 100 of the frame 10 of the holding frame 1. Then the holding frame 1 is inserted together with the modular contact inserts 2 accommodated therein in the insertion direction E in the housing part 3, so that the holding frame 1 with flange sections 103, 104 projecting laterally from the frame 10 on end faces 101, 102 of the frame 10 in contact with support sections 305 comes within the receiving opening 300. In the inserted position (see for example Fig. 3 ), the holding frame 1 with the flange sections 103, 104 rests on the support sections 305 in the corners of the receiving opening 300 within the receiving frame 30, so that the holding frame 1 assumes a defined position within the housing part 3.

  • the locking element 41 can be screwed, welded or glued to the contacting element 11.
  • the locking element 41 is formed as a projecting tab integrally with the contacting element 11 realized as a sheet metal part.
  • the locking element 41 made of sheet metal is elastic in itself resilient and otherwise identical in its design as in the embodiment according to 10A to 10C ,
  • the locking element 41 is designed as a wire spring and held clamped between a contacting element 11 and the frame 10 of the holding frame 1, for example made of plastic.
  • the locking element 41 in the form of the wire spring automatically engages with the associated locking opening 303, 304 on the part of the housing part 3 and thus establishes a locking between the holding frame 1 and the housing part 3.
  • the locking element 41 in the form of the wire spring with connecting limbs 415 is clamped in between the contacting element 11 on the one hand and an associated end face 101, 102 of the frame 10 of the holding frame 1 on the other hand.
  • the locking element 41 is thus held clamped on the frame 10 and is resilient in itself.
  • a locking element 41 in the form of a pin rotatable about an axis of rotation D extending parallel to the direction of insertion E is arranged on a contact element 11.
  • the locking element 41 has a bearing pin 416, via which the locking element 41 is rotatably mounted about the axis of rotation D in an associated opening 110 on the side of the contacting element 11.
  • the locking element 41 has an engagement opening 400, into which a tool can engage, for example in the form of a hexagon, in order to rotate the locking element 41 between a locked position and an unlocked position.
  • a locking section 411 On the locking element 41, projecting transversely to the axis of rotation D, a locking section 411 is formed which can engage in an associated locking opening 303, 304 on the side of the housing part 3 in order in this way to lock the holding frame 1 with the housing part 3.
  • An edge 411A is formed on the upper side of this locking section 411, with which the locking element 41 in the locked position comes into contact with the contact edge 303A of the assigned locking opening 303, 304.
  • locking devices 4 are designed as tensioning devices for tensioning the holding frame 1 relative to the housing part 3.
  • the locking devices 4 arranged on the flange sections 103, 104 of the frame 10 of the holding frame 1 each have a locking element 41 in the form of a U-shaped bracket which comprises a base 417 and legs 418, 419 extending from the base 417.
  • a locking section 411 in the form of a projecting edge is formed on the base 417, with which the locking element 41 engages in the locked position in an associated locking device 303, 304 of the housing part 3 (see 16A and 16B ).
  • a contact element 105, 106 is arranged, via which a PE contact can be made with a mating connector part to be attached to the connector part.
  • the contact element 105, 106 passes through, as in 14B to 14D for that in Figure 14A
  • Contact element 105 shown on the left is shown in the form of a contact pin, an opening 109 in the base 417 of the bow-shaped locking element 41 and lies in an associated opening of the flange section 103.
  • a plate element 44 is held in the region of an annular groove 107 of the contact element 105, which comes to lie with an opening 441 in the region of the annular groove 107 and by engagement of an opening 442 in the plate element 44 with a slot 443 Leg 418 of the bow-shaped locking element 41 secures the locking element 41 on the flange section 103.
  • the other leg 419 of the bow-shaped locking element 41 comes to rest in the region of an opening 440 of the plate element 44 and passes through the flange section 103, this leg 419 being movable to the flange section 103 and the plate element 44, as will be described below.
  • a threaded opening 430 is formed on the base 417 of the locking element 41, into which a tensioning element 43 engages in the form of a screw.
  • the clamping element 43 extends through the flange section 103, but is supported on the plate element 44, so that when the clamping element 43 is screwed into the threaded opening 430 at the base 417 of the bow-shaped locking element 41, the locking element 41 is braced with respect to the plate element 44 and thus also with respect to the flange section 103.
  • the locking element 41 is initially not tensioned and is therefore approximated with the base 417 to the flange section 103 (see 15A and 15B ). In this way, the locking section 411 is withdrawn in such a way that the holding frame 1 can be inserted into the housing part 3 in the direction of insertion E.
  • the bow-shaped locking element 41 can be tensioned by turning the tensioning element 43 in the form of the screw, as shown in FIG 16A and 16B is shown.
  • the locking element 41 with the base 417 is raised, but the leg 418 is held in position with respect to the flange section 103 and the locking element 41 is adjusted with the other leg 419 with respect to the flange section 103 (see in particular Figure 16B ).
  • the locking element 41 is (also) pressed outwards and thus comes into engagement with the associated locking opening 303 on the end face 301 of the receiving frame 30 of the housing part 3 via the locking section 411 on the base 417.
  • the locking element 41 By tightening the locking element 41, the locking element 41 with the locking section 411 is pressed against the contact edge 303A of the associated locking opening 303, so that the holding frame 1 is clamped to the housing part 3.
  • Locking device 4 shown on the left also applies analogously to the locking device 4 on the other, right-hand side Figure 14A ,
  • a contacting line can be inserted into the contact block 108 of the contact element 105 and thus connected to the contact element 105 in an electrically contacting manner, for example in order to produce PE contacting of the holding frame 1.
  • locking devices can be designed in very different ways.
  • a lock is hereby produced in that a locking element engages in an associated locking opening on the side of the housing part, wherein preferably a clamping force is brought about which presses the holding frame in the insertion direction into contact with the housing part.
