Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector part that can be plugged into a passage of a bulkhead.
  • connection parts are aligned appropriately by the form fit of the plug parts and are releasably fixed in a non-positive manner, for example by spring force.
  • Connectors are also used, for example, for the connection of electrical lines between an interior space and the environment of isolated rooms.
  • a space between an inner bulkhead and an outer bulkhead is insulated with an insulating means.
  • This insulating means can be polyurethane foam (PU foam), for example.
  • PU foam polyurethane foam
  • This PU foam is injected in the liquid state into the space between the bulkheads and reacts, foaming up.
  • PU foam polyurethane foam
  • This PU foam is injected in the liquid state into the space between the bulkheads and reacts, foaming up.
  • a part of the connector plugged into a recess in one of the bulkheads is wetted and surrounded by foam from one side, namely the rear side opposite its plug-in side.
  • the recess in the bulkhead is dimensioned such that the connector part can be inserted into the recess with play.
  • the connectors are usually manually sealed on one side with silicone, adhesive tape or similar before the PU foam is added.
  • This manual work step is very time-consuming and does not always lead to the desired result, ie despite this manual sealing it can happen that PU foam runs into the connector or passes past the connector through the passage of the bulkhead. It can also happen that the fully reacted PU foam passes through the connector and not only causes a visual defect, but also means that a counterpart of the connector can no longer be inserted into the connector part plugged into the bulkhead or the electrical one Contacting inside the connector is defective.
  • the object of the invention is to specify a connector part that can be inserted into a recess in a bulkhead and, with minimal assembly effort compared to the prior art, minimizes both the passage of an insulating agent through the connector part and the passage of the insulating agent through the bulkhead past the connector part . Furthermore, it is the object of the invention to specify a method for producing such a connector part.
  • this object is achieved by a connector part having the features of independent claim 1 .
  • Advantageous further developments of the connector part result from dependent claim 2.
  • the object is also achieved by a method according to claim 3.
  • a connector part according to the invention can be connected to a counterpart and inserted into a recess in a bulkhead, the connector part having a base body with a collar, the collar protruding beyond the surface of the recess in the bulkhead, and is characterized in that on the side facing the bulkhead A first sealing element in the form of a circumferential sealing lip is provided on the side of the collar, the sealing lip being arranged in such a way that it rests on the bulkhead when the connector part is inserted into the recess in the bulkhead, the connector part also having a second sealing element in the form of a cable entry seal.
  • the base body can be fixed in the bulkhead duct.
  • the connector part has a second sealing element in the form of a cable entry seal. This sealing element seals a cable inserted into the connector part from the connector part, so that no insulating material, such as PU, can penetrate past the cable into the connector part or even penetrate the connector part.
  • the first sealing element and the second sealing element are materially connected to one another. As a result, the two sealing elements can be applied in one operation, which minimizes the assembly work.
  • the connector part also has a bushing for an insulation displacement connector, the connector part having a third sealing element in the form of a bushing seal.
  • IDC terminals are very often used in connectors for fast and effortless contacting of inserted cables.
  • Insulation displacement terminals are usually fixed in the connector part and can require wall bushings through the connector part.
  • the third sealing element seals such a wall duct through the base body from the environment, so that no insulating material such as PU can penetrate into the connector part at this point either.
  • the third sealing element is integrally connected to the first and to the second sealing element. As a result, the three sealing elements can be applied in one operation, which minimizes the assembly work.
  • the third sealing element closes the insulation displacement bushing through the base body of the connector part.
  • the wall thickness of the third sealing element is so great that an insulation displacement terminal can penetrate and also project beyond the wall of the base body, but does not protrude beyond the wall thickness of the third sealing element.
  • the closure is a simple and effective way of sealing.
  • first, second and third sealing element have a thermoplastic elastomer.
  • a thermoplastic elastomer has good sealing properties with simple processing.
  • the base body has a polyamide.
  • Polyamides have good strength and at the same time are relatively easy to process. In addition, they have good electrical insulation properties. Furthermore, they easily form a connection with thermoplastic elastomers.
  • the polyamide is glass fiber reinforced. For example, a polyamide 6 or polyamide 66 with 25%, 35% or 50% glass fiber can be used.
  • a method according to the invention for producing a connector part according to one of the preceding claims is characterized in that the connector part is produced in a 2-component injection molding process.
  • the base body can first be produced as a pre-moulded part, with the injection mold being designed as a rotary tool, with a part of the mold rotating around its own axis by, for example, 180° after the pre-moulded part has been injected, thus changing the cavity for the subsequent injection molding of the second component made of the thermoplastic elastomer .
  • a two-component injection molding machine with two injection units is used.
  • two injection molding machines, each with an injection mold can be networked with one another, with the first machine injecting the preform that goes into the mold is inserted into the second machine and then overmoulded with the soft component.
  • the connector part has a base body 1400 made of a hard thermoplastic material, for example a PA 66 with 25% glass fibers.
  • the base body 1400 has a housing-like protruding part 1450, inside which the possibility of contacting several cables to be connected in the form of insulation displacement connectors 1440 can be seen.

  • FIG. 2 shows a connector part 1000 according to the invention in a further three-dimensional view obliquely from below.
  • the base body 1400 can be seen as well as the protruding housing-shaped part 1450 with the guide and latching means for a counterpart of the connector part 1000.
  • the first sealing element 1100 can also be seen.
  • This first sealing element 1100 is at several points through the collar 1410 passed through and forms on the underside of the collar 1410 undercuts 1131, which serve to securely fasten the first sealing element 1100 on the collar 1410.
  • the second sealing element 1200 is shown with four cable entry openings 1210 , the cable entry openings 1210 each having an entry cone 1211 at the exit level from the second sealing element 1200 .
  • the third sealing element 1300 which closes the underside of the protruding housing-shaped part 1450 can be seen on the underside of the connector part 1000 .
  • FIG 3 shows a connector part 1000 according to the invention in a sectional three-dimensional view.

  • the foot area 1130 on the other hand, has a rectangular cross section.
  • the lip area 1140 has a smaller wall thickness than the foot area 1130 and a greater height than the foot area 1130 .
  • the inclination of the lip area 1140 outwards away from the center of the connector part 1000 supports the application of the sealing lip 1120 to the collar 1410 in the assembled state of the connector part 1000 in the recess of the bulkhead as well as the geometric relationships of the foot area 1130 and lip area 1140.
  • the foot area 1130 also gives the sealing lip 1120 the necessary stability and serves to anchor the sealing lip 1120 on the collar 1410 of the base body 1400.
  • the lip area 1140 has a rounded upper edge 1141 at its end facing away from the foot area 1130 on. The rounded upper edge 1141 improves the sealing effect of the sealing lip 1120 in relation to the bulkhead, in particular when the connector part 1000 is not fully inserted into the recess of the bulkhead.
  • the cutting terminal feedthrough 1430 through the base body 1400 can be seen in the sectional view.
  • the third sealing element 1300 closes this wall opening through the base body 1400 from the environment, so that no insulating material such as PU can penetrate the connector part at this point either.
  • the wall thickness of the third sealing element is so great that an insulation displacement terminal can penetrate and also project beyond the wall of the base body, but does not protrude beyond the wall thickness of the third sealing element.
  • the cable entry opening 1210 in the second sealing element 1200 can be seen in section.
  • the cable entry opening 1210 has an entry cone 1211 and a cylindrical section 1212 .
  • the cylindrical portion 1212 has a diameter equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of a cable to be inserted.
  • a good sealing effect of the second sealing element 1200 in relation to a cable to be inserted is provided by this geometric relationship.
  • the insertion cone 1211 serves to facilitate the insertion of the cable.
  • Each cable entry opening 1210 in the second sealing element 1200 can be closed with a membrane (not shown). The membrane is designed in such a way that it can easily be pierced by a cable when it is inserted.
  • the membrane seals the cable entry opening 1210 if the connector part 1000 has a plurality of cable entry openings 1210 and, in a specific application, each cable entry opening 1210 is not occupied by cables.
  • the membrane is advantageously made of the same material as the second sealing element 1200, so that the membrane can be produced in one working step with the second sealing element 1200.
  • FIG 4 shows a connector part 1000 according to the invention in a further sectional three-dimensional view, the view in another angle inclined than that in 3 .
  • the foot area 1130 and the lip area 1140 of the first sealing element 1100 can be clearly seen, in particular the cross-sectional shape of the lip area 1140 of a column inclined away from the center of the connector part 1000 can be clearly seen.
