Die Standardschnittstelle 1 erstreckt sich zumindest teilweise durch die Wand 2. Um eine ungewünschte Bewegung der Standardschnittstelle 1 an der Wand 2 zu verhindern bzw. zu blockieren kann die Standardschnittstelle 1 mindestens eine Rasteinrichtung 4 aufweisen, welche ausgelegt ist, mit der Wand 2 in Eingriff zu gelangen. Die Standardschnittstelle 1 kann jedoch zusätzlich oder alternativ auch an der Dichtvorrichtung 100 (siehe
Die Wand 2 weist zwei teilkreisartige Aussparungen 5 auf. Hierbei sind die Aussparungen insbesondere ausgelegt, so dass sich das erste Befestigungselement 10 (siehe
Das erste Befestigungselement 10 weist ferner eine Steckverbinder-Aussparung 13 auf, welche ausgelegt ist, die Steckverbinder-Aufnahme 3 der Standardschnittstelle 1 durch das erste Befestigungselement 10 zugänglich zu machen. Hierbei ist das erste Befestigungselement 10 derart ausgelegt, so dass die Steckverbinder-Aussparung 13 bezüglich der Steckverbinder-Aufnahme 3 ausgerichtet ist. Das erste Befestigungselement 10 ist ferner ausgelegt, so dass das erste Befestigungselement 10 in einem vollständig montierten Zustand der Dichtvorrichtung 100 ein Verrutschen der Standardschnittstelle 1 bezüglich der Wand 2 verhindert bzw. blockiert.The
Die Befestigungseinrichtung 20 weist ferner eine umlaufende Schutzwand 21 auf, welche ausgelegt ist, in einem vollständig montierten Zustand der Dichtvorrichtung 100 die Standardschnittstelle 1 zumindest teilweise zu umlaufen bzw. zu umgeben, und diese somit vor externen Einflüssen, wie zum Beispiel vor ungewünschten mechanischen Einwirkungen, zu schützen.The
Die Befestigungseinrichtung 20 kann ferner zumindest teilweise umlaufende Angriffsflächen bzw. Antriebsprofile aufweisen, welche eine Drehmomentübertragung von einem Werkzeug auf die Befestigungseinrichtung 20 ermöglichen bzw. vereinfachen, wodurch eine Montage der Dichtvorrichtung 100 an der Wand 2 vereinfacht wird.The
Das Gehäuseelement 30 kann verbindbar, und insbesondere verschraubbar mit dem ersten Befestigungselement 10 bzw. dem zweiten Gewinde 11 sein. Hierbei kann das Gehäuseelement 30 zumindest teilweise einen Innenhohlraum 31 umgeben, wobei der Innenhohlraum 31 ausgelegt ist, einen in der Standardschnittstelle 1 aufgenommenen Steckverbinder und/oder einen Kabelendabschnitt des aufgenommenen Steckverbinders zu umgeben. Hierdurch kann der verbundenen Steckverbinder und/oder die Standardschnittstelle 1 vor Beschädigungen, beispielsweise durch unsachgemäße Handhabung, geschützt werden. Ferner kann der Innenhohlraum 31 ausgelegt sein, so dass der aufgenommene Steckverbinder aus der Standardschnittstelle 1 gelöst werden kann, ohne dass ein vollständiges Zerlegen der Dichtvorrichtung 100 notwendig ist. Ferner wird durch das Bereitstellen von Gehäuseelementen 30 unterschiedlicher Größe eine Anpassung der Dichtvorrichtung 100 an die Größe des aufzunehmenden Steckverbinders ermöglicht.The
Zwischen dem ersten Befestigungselement 10 und dem Gehäuseelement 30 ist ferner ein erstes Zwischendichtelement 15 angeordnet, welches in einem Zustand, in dem das erste Befestigungselement 10 und das Gehäuseelement 30 verbunden sind, durch das erste Befestigungselement 10 und das Gehäuseelement 30 geklemmt wird. Hierdurch wird zumindest teilweise ein Verbindungsabschnitt zwischen dem ersten Befestigungselement 10 und dem Gehäuseelement 30 vor äußeren Umwelteinflüssen abgedichtet und/oder geschützt.Between the
Alternativ kann das Gehäuseelement 30 integral bzw. einstückig mit dem ersten Befestigungselement 10 ausgebildet sein.Alternatively, the
Der Blindstopfen 40 ist hierbei ausgebildet, in der zentralen Öffnung des Kabeldichtelements 43 aufgenommen zu werden und einen dichten Kontakt zwischen dem Kabeldichtelement 43 und dem Blindstopfen 40 herzustellen.The
Das Kabeldichtelement 43 kann ferner in einem Kompressionsring 44 angeordnet sein. Der Kompressionsring 44 ist hierbei ausgelegt, um in Reaktion auf einen Druck, welcher in radialer Richtung nach innen bezüglich des kreisförmigen Kabeldichtelements 43 ausgeübt wird, einen radialen Druck in radialer Richtung nach innen bezüglich des kreisförmigen Kabeldichtelements 43 auf das Kabeldichtelement 43 auszuüben. Hierdurch wird das Kabeldichtelement 43 an das Kabel des aufgenommenen Steckverbinders oder an den Blindstopfen 40 durch den Kompressionsring 44 gepresst, um einen dichten Kontakt zwischen denselben herzustellen.The
Der Druck auf den Kompressionsring 44 kann durch eine Pressmutter 46 ausgeübt werden. Die Pressmutter 46 ist hierbei mit dem Gehäuseelement 30 verschraubbar ausgebildet und weist abgeschrägte Flächen auf. Die abgeschrägten Flächen sind ausgelegt, mit dem Kompressionsring 44 während eines Verschraubens der Pressmutter 46 mit dem Gehäuseelement 30 in Kontakt zu gelangen und einen Druck in radialer Richtung nach innen bezüglich des kreisförmigen Kabeldichtelements 43 auf den Kompressionsring 44 auszuüben. Der auf den Kompressionsring 44 ausgeübte Druck ist hierbei abhängig von dem Kraftaufwand, welcher aufgebracht wurde, um die Pressmutter 46 mit dem Gehäuseelement 30 zu verschrauben. Somit kann der ausgeübte Druck variabel an die benötigten Voraussetzungen der Dichtvorrichtung 100 angepasst werden.The pressure on the
Weiterhin kann der Kompressionsring 44 eine umlaufende Nut aufweisen, in welcher ein zweites Zwischendichtelement 45 angeordnet ist. Die Nut und das zweite Zwischendichtelement 45 sind hierbei derart angeordnet, so dass bei einem Verschrauben der Pressmutter 46 mit dem Gehäuseelement 30 das zweite Zwischendichtelement 45 zwischen dem Kompressionsring 44 und dem Gehäuseelement 33 geklemmt und somit eine Dichtung gegen äußere Umwelteinflüsse hergestellt wird. Alternativ kann der Kompressionsring 44 auch ohne die umlaufende Nut ausgebildet sein.Furthermore, the
Der Blindstopfen 40 kann ferner durch ein Halteband 42 bzw. ein Haltekabel bzw. ein Halteseil bzw. eine Haltekette mit einem flexiblen Haltering 41 verbunden sein. Der flexible Haltering 41 ist hierbei an der Dichtvorrichtung 100 bzw. dem äußeren Dichtgehäuse 101 angebracht. Insbesondere kann der flexible Haltering 41 nicht ohne externen Kraftaufwand von der Dichtvorrichtung 100 bzw. dem äußeren Dichtgehäuse 101 entfernt werden. Somit wird durch den flexiblen Haltering 41 und das Halteband 42 eine Verlustsicherung des Blindstopfens 40 ermöglicht. Alternativ kann das Halteband 42 auch direkt an der Dichtvorrichtung 100 bzw. dem äußeren Dichtgehäuse 101 fixiert sein.The
Insbesondere können das äußere Dichtgehäuse 101 und das Abdeckelement 50 unterschiedlich hohen Schutz vor Umwelteinflüssen bieten. Alternativ kann das Abdeckelement 50 auch durch ein weiteres Dichtgehäuse mit den Merkmalen des äußeren Dichtgehäuses 101 ersetzt werden.In particular, the outer sealing
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die oben beschriebenen exemplarischen Ausführungsformen beschränkt. Vielmehr kann eine Dichtvorrichtung, eine Verwendung einer solchen und ein Verfahren eine beliebige Kombination der oben und in den Figuren beschriebenen Merkmale aufweisen.The invention is not limited to the above-described exemplary embodiments. Rather, a sealing device, a use of such and a method may have any combination of the features described above and in the figures.
