Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conductor body for a plug contact device, in the form of a trailer socket of a trailer coupling for a motor vehicle, preferably a passenger car or truck, or as part of the trailer socket.
  • a conductor body for a plug contact device of a vehicle is for example in US 2012/0094509 A1 explained.
  • DE 199 30 345 A1 generally discloses the presence of a power semiconductor in an outlet. Connection and function of the power semiconductor are not described further.
  • the plug contact device for which the conductor body is provided is, for example, a trailer socket, ie the interface between the trailer and the motor vehicle.
  • a trailer plug of the trailer can be plugged into the socket or plug contact device, so that a connection between the electrics of the trailer and the electrical system of the motor vehicle is possible.
  • the plug contact device has a vehicle interface towards the vehicle electrical system, for example towards a control unit.
  • a cable is permanently connected to the plug contact device or there are electrical contacts to which such a cable can be connected for connection to the on-board network.
  • the on-board network of the motor vehicle or towing vehicle and the electrical network of the trailer which in principle also represents an on-board network, can have such potential differences, that there is a load, in extreme cases damage, of the on-board network of the towing vehicle. If, for example, voltage peaks scatter into the on-board network of the motor vehicle, the aforementioned control unit for the trailer can be damaged, in extreme cases also, for example, the on-board network of the motor vehicle itself, for example a data bus.
  • the invention also relates to a plug contact device, in the form of a trailer socket, for a trailer coupling for a motor vehicle, with a trailer contact arrangement which has electrical connection contacts for establishing an electrical connection with a trailer plug of a trailer which can be coupled to the trailer coupling and which is connected to an electrical vehicle Interface is electrically connected, the vehicle interface having a vehicle contact arrangement and / or a connection cable for connection to an electrical system of the motor vehicle.
  • the plug contact device has a protective circuit connected between the trailer contact arrangement and the vehicle interface and arranged on a conductor body according to the invention with at least one voltage reduction component for reducing the electrostatic voltage obtained via the trailer contact arrangement.
  • the advantage of this construction is that electrostatic problems are eliminated directly at the interface between the trailer and the vehicle electrical system, ie the electrical system is not burdened by the possible electrostatic charges on the trailer. Load peaks never even reach a control unit for the trailer, for example, so that it could be damaged and, in extreme cases, also affect the vehicle's electrical system.
  • a bus controller present on board the control unit for example a so-called CAN bus controller, is spared electrostatic loads, so to speak, so that the risk of a data bus in the vehicle's electrical system being overloaded with overvoltage is thereby also eliminated.
  • Electrostatic voltage can also arise, for example, when the trailer is electrostatically charged in the area of plastic components in particular, for example tarpaulins. With some trailer couplings it is then possible, for example, for these voltages to be transferred to the ground potential of the towing vehicle or motor vehicle via the ball coupling and the ball head, so that the electrostatic discharge is possible as a result. However, if the electrical contact between the ball coupling and the ball head is disturbed, for example due to dirt, oil, electrically insulating plastic components, for example a roll damper arrangement, the plug contact device according to the invention provides a remedy.
  • a reduction in the electrostatic voltage can also be used, for example, to dissipate it completely.
  • the term reduction should also include a complete Derivation of electrostatic voltage can be understood.
  • a signal potential or supply potential is usually in the range of a few volts, for example 5-16 V or up to 30 volts for trucks, the electrostatic voltage is significantly higher, usually several 100 V, even in the kilovolt range .
  • the motor vehicle is, for example, a passenger car, a van or truck, a tractor or the like.
  • the motor vehicle has, for example, an internal combustion engine and / or an electric motor.
  • the protective circuit can be connected to one or more non-ground potentials, ie it can divert overvoltages or electrostatic voltages that occur there.
  • the at least one non-ground potential is, for example, a signal potential or a supply potential. With the signal potential, for example, functions of the trailer can be monitored or controlled.
  • the trailer is supplied with electricity using the supply potential, for example for purposes of lighting, heating (in the case of a caravan) or the like.
  • the protective circuit is electrically connected to at least one ground potential of the vehicle interface via the at least one electrical voltage reduction component.
  • the ground potential is provided, for example, on an electrical line or a corresponding electrical contact that is or can be connected to the on-board network of the motor vehicle or towing vehicle.
  • the at least one ground potential is via the aforementioned electrical line or the corresponding ground contact with the Connected on-board network, so that the corresponding discharge of electrostatic voltage is possible there.
  • the protective circuit is expediently connected not only to one, but to several, for example two or three, electrical contacts or lines of the vehicle interface which have the ground potential. This enables a particularly reliable derivation of the electrical voltage.
  • first and second ground potentials of the vehicle interface are electrically connected to one another in the area of the protective circuit, at least in the case of the plug contact device.
  • a first potential of the trailer contact arrangement is connected to a first ground potential of the vehicle interface via a first voltage reduction component and a second potential of the trailer contact arrangement is connected to a second ground potential of the vehicle interface via a second voltage reduction component. In this way, discrete voltage reductions for different first, second and further potentials of the trailer contact arrangement are possible.

  • several voltage reduction components can be provided, it being advantageous if one voltage reduction component is provided individually for each signal contact or supply contact or potential.
  • the conductor body for example the printed circuit board, expediently has connection lines or electrical contacts or both for connection to the vehicle interface or to the trailer contact arrangement or both. It is therefore possible to place the conductor body, so to speak, between the vehicle interface and the trailer contact arrangement. It is also possible to electrically connect the conductor body either to the vehicle interface or to the trailer contact arrangement or both.
  • the protective circuit according to the invention is arranged, for example, on a contact carrier carrying at least one electrical connection contact.
  • a contact carrier carrying at least one electrical connection contact.
  • One or more of the stress reduction components can be provided directly on this carrier body.
  • the stress reduction component can be glued to the conductor body, latched to it or the like.
