Definitions

• the invention is based on a connector with a fuse element according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.
• connectors are needed to connect cables reversibly.
• connectors are attached to ends of lines and individual conductors in the line provided with contact elements which are received in the connector.
• the contact elements can contact in the connection of the connector with another mating connector corresponding contact elements in the mating connector.
• connectors In order to ensure a secure connection with a mating connector, connectors usually have locking means which allow a locking of the connectors together.
• a frequently used mechanism is the so-called push-pull locking.
• the connector automatically locks when connecting to the mating connector. By pressing (push) is locked.
• the lock is released by pulling (Pull) on a sliding element, which at least partially forms the housing of the connector.
• the facial expressions for locking the connector is actuated and the connector is released from the mating connector.
• the invention is therefore based on the object to introduce a push-pull connector, which can be secured against accidental unlocking and decontacting.
• the connector should be designed so that at least one further handle must be made to release the connector. For ease of use, however, should still be possible to operate with one hand.
• the invention is a so-called push-pull connector as known from the prior art.
• the connector has a base body, in which a cable to be connected and contact elements are accommodated.
• the main body is surrounded by a sliding element, which acts as an actuator of the connector and at the same time serves to unlock a latch with a mating connector.
• the connector forms a plug side and a connection side.
• the connection side allows the insertion of a cable into the main body of the connector.
• the wires of the line are connected to contact elements.
• the contact elements in turn are at the mating side of the Led connector and allow contacting with a mating connector.
• a plug-in axis extends centrally from the plug side to the connection side.
• the connector has locking means which cooperate with the mating connector and prevent unwanted decontacting.
• the sliding element is provided on the connector.
• the sliding element is slidably mounted on the base body about a defined area. By moving the sliding element against the insertion direction, away from the mating side, towards the connection side, the sliding element acts on the locking means of the connector. The locking between connector and mating connector is solved.
• the connector has an additional securing element which is also attached to the main body of the connector.
• the securing element is movably arranged between two positions: an open position and a locked position.
• the securing element blocks the movement of the sliding element from a plug-side end position into a connection-side end position when it is in the locked position.
• the securing element releases the movement of the sliding element and enables a decontacting and a release of the connector from the mating connector.
• the securing element is rotatably arranged on the connector.
• the securing element can be rotated from the open to the locked position and vice versa.
• the securing element is designed to be annular and surrounds the connector so that it is rotatable about the plug-in axis.
• the securing element has at least one blocking region. In the locked position of the securing element, the blocking region is located in the movement region of the sliding element. Thus, a displacement of the sliding element to release the lock can be prevented.
• the blocking region is designed such that it extends radially away from the securing element and the plug-in axis. Depending on the position of the securing element (open or locked position), the blocking area is in the path of movement of the sliding element, or releases it.
• the securing element has two or four blocking regions.
• the blocking regions are arranged uniformly over the circumference of the securing element.
• Particularly advantageous are four blocking areas, which are movable in the open state in four corners of a square connector and its sliding element.
• the rectangular sliding element can be moved so that the four locking areas are absorbed and immersed in the corner areas.
• a special embodiment provides that securing element is to be arranged on the main body of the connector between the sliding element and a cable gland on the connection side of the connector. This arrangement is particularly advantageous because the securing element is in the path of movement of the sliding element for unlocking the connector. Due to the inventive design of the connector with a rotatable securing element, the object of the present invention is achieved particularly advantageous and solved known from the prior art problems. Inadvertent release and disengagement of the connector can be prevented in a simple manner, while the handling of the connector is still easy.

• Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a connector according to the invention by a locked fuse element.
• FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a connector according to the invention with fuse element 2 in the open position.
• the connector is formed from a base body which extends along a plug axis A. In the rear, left portion of Figure 1, the connector forms a plug side. Opposite, in the front, right area of the connector forms a connection side. The connection side is formed by a cable gland.
• the main body of the connector is surrounded by a sliding element 1.
• the sliding element 1 can be moved along the through axle A by a certain range. By moving the sliding element 1 in the direction of the connection side, a detent located in the connector is opened and the connection to a mating connector can be solved.
• the securing element 2 is arranged according to the invention.
• the ring-shaped securing element 2 surrounds the connection region of the connector and is rotatably mounted on this.
• the fuse element 2 has two (only one visible here) blocking regions 3.
• the blocking regions 3 are formed opposite to the fuse element 2. In the open position of the securing element 2 shown here, the blocking regions 3 lie in the corner regions of the sliding element 1. Thus, the sliding element 1 can be moved beyond the blocking regions 3 in the direction of the connection side of the connector.
• FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a connector according to the invention with securing element 2 in the locked position.
• the fuse element 2 is rotated at the connector by about 45 ° to the open position.
• the blocking regions 3 are located in front of the sliding element 1 such that they can no longer be displaced in the direction of the connection side.
• the connector can not be released and unlocked.
• FIG. 1 A perspective view of a connector according to the invention with actuated sliding element 1 is shown in FIG.
• the securing element 2 is in the open position, corresponding to FIG. 1.
• the sliding element 1 is displaced in the direction of the connection side of the connector.
• the internal locking means of the connector are solved. Recognizable are the blocking regions 3 (visible only one) which dip into the corner regions of the sliding element 1 and thus release the movement of the sliding element 1.
• the opened and locked position of the securing element 2 is again shown in a sectional view in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5.
• the sectional view ment is carried out in each case by the securing element 2 transversely to the plug axis A.
• the blocking regions 3 are easily recognizable as they fit into the corner regions of the sliding element 1.
• the securing element 2 is rotated by approximately 45 °, so that the locking areas 3 are rotated in front of the sides of the sliding element 1. A movement of the sliding element 1 is blocked and prevents loosening of the connector.
• FIG. 4 a locking of the securing element 2 on the base body can be seen in FIG. 4 and FIG.
• the main body has Nubbel 4 which respectively define the open or locked position.
• the fuse element 3 can rest with corresponding grooves 5 on the Nubbeln 4 to lock in the two positions.
• the fuse element 2 can latch in the open and the locked position. Accidental release or locking of the sliding element 1 is thus avoided.
