Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector assembly comprising a connector, a mating connector adapted to be coupled to the connector in a mating direction, and a lever assembly.
  • Connector assemblies may comprise a multitude of wires terminating into contact pins or tabs that need to be plugged to receiving members of the connector or mating connector. With an increased number of individual contact pins, the plug-in force for moving a mating connector towards a connector for coupling the connector and mating connector increases as well. Furthermore, certain plug designs, for instance a so called insulation displacement contact in which the insulation of an insulated wire is displaced by a contact member, further increase the plug-in force.
  • An increased plug-in force may result in that a user may not be capable of coupling the connector to the mating connector. In particular, if there is only limited space for handling the connector assembly, a user may have difficulties exerting the plug-in force.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a connector assembly which requires little manual force for coupling and has a simple design that is easy to manufacture.
  • the lever assembly comprises at least one lever, the lever being arranged on the connector pivotally about a pivot axis, wherein the pivot axis being oriented essentially perpendicular to the mating direction. Furthermore, the lever at least partly covers the mating connector in a coupled state of the connector assembly, the lever further comprises an inner lever member and an outer lever member, the inner lever member being connected to the outer lever member at a position distal from the pivot axis. The inner lever member is arranged between the outer lever member and a mating connector in the coupled state of the connector assembly and the inner lever member engages the mating connector, at least in the mating direction.
  • the inventive connector assembly has the advantage that a high axial force may be obtained with a limited manual force, even within a small installation space.
  • the inventive connector assembly may be improved by embodiments described in the following.
  • Each of the embodiments is advantageous on its own and technical features may be arbitrarily combined or omitted, depending on which technical effects are needed in a particular application.
  • the inner lever member of the inventive connector may for instance be releasably engaged with the mating connector wherein the engagement may be located at an outer circumferential portion of the mating connector.
  • the pivot axis may be located at the inner or outer lever member.
  • the inventive connector assembly may be improved in that the lever is a monolithic piece.
  • a monolithic design of the lever is simple and much easier to manufacture than e.g. the known levers which use gears for coupling the connector and the mating connector.
  • the two-piece design of the inventive connector assembly is beneficial if a torque-free pivotable connection between the inner and outer lever member is desired and if the connector and mating connector are frequently coupled and de-coupled.
  • the two-piece design eliminates bending of material such that wear and material fatigue may be minimized.
  • the two-piece design of the inventive connector assembly is, however, more difficult to fabricate than the monolithic design.
  • the inner lever member extends obliquely away from the outer lever member towards the mating connector in a pre-coupled state of the connector assembly and/or if no forces are exerted on the inner lever.
  • the pre-coupled state the connector and the mating connector are not yet fully coupled.
  • the inner lever member is therefore already positioned such that coupling of the connector and the mating connector may be performed. Therefore, no special care has to be taken to position the inner lever member correctly prior to coupling the connector and the mating connector.
  • Positioning of the inner lever member with respect to the outer lever member may be achieved intrinsically by means of the monolithic design, or by means of a resilient member attached to both, the inner and the outer lever member.
  • the inner lever member is arranged at least partly within a recess of the outer lever member in the coupled state of the connector assembly. Arranging the inner lever member within a recess of the outer lever member prevents an unnecessary increase of a radial thickness of the connector assembly, which is especially helpful with the connector assembly applied within a small space.
  • the inner lever member may at least partly be formed of the outer lever member.
  • the inner lever may be formed from material which is taken from the outer lever member's recess.
  • the inner lever member may be oriented substantially parallel to the outer lever member in the coupled state of the connector assembly.
  • the inventive connector assembly may be further improved in that the outer lever member. comprises a curved shape, wherein a concave side of the curved outer lever member faces towards the mating connector in a direction essentially perpendicular to the mating direction.
  • the outer lever member may therefore be at least partly positioned around the mating connector. It may thus form a housing, in which the mating connector is partly received.
  • the inner lever member may be substantially planar.
  • a planar inner lever has the advantage of being flexible and may allow for lever gear transmission of force exerted onto the outer lever member, transferred to the inner lever member and finally transformed into an axial force onto the mating connector.
  • the inner lever may thus be understood as a spring leaf, which may be elastically deformed in the coupled state.
  • the inner lever member comprises a deformation portion which is arranged between the outer lever member and the inner lever member, wherein the deformation portion being deformed in the coupled state of the connector assembly.
  • the deformation portion may be an area of the inner lever, especially at the base of the inner lever where it is fixed to the outer lever, which has an increased flexibility with respect to its immediate surrounding.
  • Such a deformation portion has the advantage that the deformation of the inner lever member may be pre-defined, which prevents unwanted deformation at other portions of the connector assembly.
  • the deformation region may further merge into a cantilevered portion of the inner lever member, which cantilevered portion may remain un-deformed in the coupled state of the connector assembly.
  • the cantilevered portion of the inner lever member may extend towards a free and of the inner lever member.
  • the deformation portion of the inner lever member may comprise a region of increased flexibility in order to define the position at which the inner lever member is deformed upon exertion of the manual force onto the outer lever member which is transferred towards the inner lever member and finally towards the mating connector.
  • the inventive connector assembly may comprise a hinige portion comprising a tilt axis.
  • the region of increased flexibility may be embodied as a region with a thinner material thickness or a reduced material cross-section than the base portion and cantilevered portion and/or may comprise weakening structures which reduce the rigidity of the region of increased flexibility.
  • Said weakening structures may be embodied as holes, through-holes a portion of decreased material thickness or decreased width of the inner lever member.
  • the inner lever member may engage the mating connector with an abutment portion.
  • the abutment portion may be formed at or by a free end of the inner lever member.
  • the inner lever member comprises a free end with an embossing and/or a concave shape of the inner lever member towards the mating connector.
  • the embossing and/or a concave shape may be the abutment portion of the inner lever member, which pre-defines a position, an angle and an abutment surface between the inner lever member and the mating connector.
  • the concave shape of the inner lever member towards the mating connector may comprise a same or similar curvature as the concave shape of the outer lever member, such that the outer lever member and inner lever member may nest in each other and form an outer shell in the coupled state of the connector assembly.
  • the inventive connector assembly may be further improved in that the inner lever member engages the mating connector in a direction both in and opposite to the mating direction, at least in the coupled state of the connector assembly.
  • Such an embodiment of the inventive connector assembly has the advantage that opening the lever assembly when the connector assembly is in the coupled state will result in exertion of an opening force from the inner lever member on the mating connector along the mating axis but in a direction opposite the mating direction.
  • the connector assembly may therefore at least partly be decoupled by the lever assembly.
  • the inner lever member may comprise a cut-out which may engage in a form fit with a lug embodied at the mating connector, wherein the form fit may be released with the connector assembly approaching a pre-coupled state from the coupled state.
  • a bi-directional engagement between the inner lever member and a mating connector may also be realized by a pin and an opening, wherein the pin may either be embodied at the mating connector or at the free end of the inner lever member.
  • the pin may be completely received within the opening. This engagement may firstly allow for the bi-directional engagement between the inner lever member and the mating connector and may secondly prevent the lever assembly from automatically opening due to the pre-tension of the inner lever member with respect to the outer lever member.
  • the pre-tension of the inner lever member may result in a movement and/or a bias of movement of the inner lever member opposite the mating direction, such that the wall of the opening abuts the pin of the mating connector along the direction opposite the mating direction and engages the pin in a frictional fit.
  • This frictional fit may prevent the free end of the inner lever member from being moved away from the pin in a direction essentially perpendicular to the mating direction and away from the mating axis.
  • the outer lever member and/or the inner lever member at least partly receive the mating connector in the coupled state of the connector assembly.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that curvatures of the inner and outer members may correspond to curvatures of the mating connector, such that only a small space is needed if the connector assembly is in the coupled state. Additionally, positioning of the inner and outer lever member closely to the mating connector may at least partly constitute an electro-magnetic shielding.
  • the lever may be formed from dielectric material.
  • an attachment portion of the lever is received in a receiving contour of the connector.
  • a receiving contour may have the advantage that the pivot member may be easily removed out of the receiving contour for an easy maintenance and/or replacement.
  • the receiving contour may in particular be embodied in an outer shell of the connector and may effect outer structures of the connector as for instance a thread.
  • the receiving contour of the connector may on the one hand receive the pivot member of the lever but may additionally also be adapted to receive, at least partly, the free end and parts of the cantilevered portion of the inner lever member.
  • the connector and the lever are connected pivotable relative to each other by stub shafts.
  • Stub shafts may be easily formed at the lever member, wherein the pivot member embodied as stub shafts may in particular be embodied at an extension of the outer lever member located distant to a pressing portion.
  • the pressing portion may be understood as a portion on which the user applies a manual force.
  • the inventive connector assembly may in particular comprise two stub shafts, wherein said two stub shafts may extend into opposite facing directions forming a T-shape.
  • the receiving contour of the connector may be embodied complementary to the stub shaft in order to receive them.
  • stub shafts may be embodied at the connector and/or mating connector, wherein the lever comprises the complementary receiving contour.
  • the stub shafts received in the connector are deformed and are engaged in a positive fit with the receiving contour of the connector.
  • the positive fit between the stub shafts and the receiving contour protect the lever assembly from being lost from the connector assembly.
  • the same advantage is obtained if the receiving contour is embodied at the lever and the stub shafts are embodied at the connector or mating connector.
  • the stub shafts or receiving contour embodied at an extension member of the outer lever member distal to the pressing portion may be received within the receiving contour or may receive the stub shafts along a receiving direction.
  • the receiving direction may be tilted with respect to the mating direction of the connector assembly and may also be tilted with respect to a direction perpendicular to the mating direction.
  • the receiving direction along which the stub shafts are received in the receiving contour may be located in a quadrant different than the quadrant of an operating angular range of the outer lever member in an installed state.
  • the operating angular range of the outer lever member may be understood as a range of angles of the outer lever member with respect to the mating direction within which the outer lever member is tilted around the pivot axis when the connector assembly is coupled, that is the range of angles along which the outer lever member is tilted when the connector assembly is transferred from the pre-coupled state to the coupled state.
  • the stub shafts of the outer lever member, or the connector and/or mating connector may be releasably inserted into the receiving contour of the connector or the outer lever member, even if the outer lever member is moved into the operation position.
  • the stub shafts may abut an inner surface of the receiving contour of the connector, or of the outer lever member.
  • a force exerted on the outer lever member in a direction away from the operating position may be transmitted via the outer lever member onto the stub shafts, which, due to the abutment with the inner surface of the receiving contour, are mechanically deformed.
  • the deformation of the stub shafts is preferentially inelastic or plastic.
  • the stub shafts may be freely rotated within the receiving contour, whereas the stub shafts may not be removed from the receiving contour, even if oriented and moved in a direction opposite the receiving direction.
  • the deformed stub shafts therefore prevent the outer lever member and thus the whole lever assembly from being removed or lost from the connector assembly.
  • the lever is a stamped and at least one of bent or folded sheet metal part.
  • Such sheet metal parts may be easily fabricated at low costs and high production rates.
  • certain structures as for instance embodied at the abutment portion of the inner lever member in form of an embossing and/or a concave shape, as well as the shape of the outer lever member may be easily obtained from a sheet metal part.
  • strengthening structures as for instance, ribs, fins and the like are easily produced by embossing or bending of a sheet metal part.
  • the lever assembly may be received in a cable bushing when the plug assembly is in the coupled state, wherein a front edge of the inner lever member may be engaged in a positive lock.
  • the bushing may enclose the lever and thus prevent any pivoting of the lever.
  • the connector assembly may preferentially comprise two lever assemblies which are arranged symmetrically around the connector and the mating connector, whereas also one single lever assembly may be applied.
  • the attachment between the outer lever member and the connector is accordingly positioned at the connector or guiding means are provided between the connector and the mating connector.
  • the guiding means may provide a sufficient stabilization against a tilt of the connector and the mating connector with respect to each other. This may prevent blocking of the coupling due to canted connector and mating connector.
  • the inventive connector assembly may provide a lever gear ratio allowing a user to couple the connector to the mating connector with a limited manual force applicable by the user within a limited space in which the connector assembly is installed or provided.
  • Plug in forces higher than applicable by the user may therefore be overcome by the inventive lever assembly.
  • This allows for simultaneously contacting a multitude of pins or tabs and/or contacting technologies requiring additional force, as for instance in the case of insulation displacement contacts.
