Definitions
- the invention relates to a travel plug for producing an electrical connection between plugs and sockets of different country standards.
- Travel connectors with a housing are known from the prior art which have formed at least one socket for a plug of a standard and a plurality of plugs for plugging into sockets of further standards.
- the plugs can be individually extended and retracted from the housing.
- the extension or retraction mechanism is designed in such a way that it is always possible to extend only a single connector. This means that all others must be retracted to extend one connector. If the plug not only consists of a plurality of pins, but also of a holding part, such a plug is extended in two stages.
- the holding part is necessary so that the travel plug can be plugged, for example, into so-called "Schuko" sockets.
- Another way is necessary to extend a plug with a holding part, as if a plug is to be extended, which has only pins
- the sliding distance of the slide for the connector with holding part is essentially twice as long as the sliding distance of the plugs, where only pins have to be extended, therefore the housing must have a correspondingly high height, so that the extended sliding distance for Such travel plugs therefore have the disadvantage that they are relatively large and bulky in order to be able to provide the extended sliding distance
- Such typical travel plugs as described above are described in DE 1020011 014920 A1, in GB 2484 145 A.
- the height of the housing corresponds to at least the displacement distance, which corresponds to the sum of the height of the holding part and the height of the pins.
- the displacement distance of the plugs with holding parts is substantially twice as long as the sliding distance of the plugs, in which only pins have to be extended. All three disclosed travel plug are therefore subject to the disadvantage that they must have a relatively large height, so that plug with holding part and pins can be fully extended.
- WO 2010/057399 A1 a travel plug is described which has a height which corresponds only to the height of the holding part. The holding part can be pushed out of the housing of the travel plug and moved back into this.
- the slider is not provided on the housing, but on the holding part, so that the pins can be moved out of the holding part and into it.
- this travel plug has the disadvantage that it is designed only for 2-pin plug.
- the holding part must be pushed out of the housing, so that the slider is freely accessible. Only then can the pins be moved out of the holding part with the slide. This type of operation is cumbersome and not self-explanatory for the user.
- the plug comprises a retractable from the housing holding part and at least two received in the holding part and extendable from the holding part pins.
- a so-called Euro plug, or a three-pin plug can be realized, which fits in sockets in Italy and Switzerland.
- the housing height need not be at least as high as the sum of the length of the retainer and the pins. Due to the mechanical translation, it is possible that the housing is only slightly higher than the length of the holding part.
- the solution of the problem is achieved in a travel plug in that the mechanical translation is realized by a joint chain comprising at least two crossed levers.
- the articulated chain has for a required exit length at However, only two levers in the retracted state, a width which is necessarily as large as the length of a lever. For larger extension lengths, therefore, the width is increased. Therefore, preferably at least two pairs of crossed levers are preferred.
- the mechanical translation causes by the operation of the adjustment of the plug travels a displacement, which is greater than the height of the housing. As a result, the housing can be built low and the plug can still be fully extended. It is also conceivable as a mechanical translation of a externally rotatable gear, which is fixed to the holding part and cooperates with racks on the housing and the pins.
- the invention is preferably characterized in that the articulated chain is articulated on the housing, the holding part and the pins.
- the hinge chain is formed such that the displacement of the pins is dependent on the displacement of the holding part and at least twice as large as the displacement of the holding part. It is thereby achieved that, when the neck part is extended, the pins are also fully extended and the pins are fully retracted into the holding part when the holding part has retracted into the plug.
- the transmission ratio between the displacement of the holding part and the displacement of the pin at least 1: 2. Since the pins and the holding part according to standard provisions must be substantially the same length (19 mm), it is preferable to choose a ratio of 1: 2. In this case, a number of joint pairs is to be selected, in which the articulated chain reaches a length in the extended state in which the retaining part and the pins can be extended completely. When retracted, however, the articulated chain should be as low as possible and as narrow as possible.
- the articulated chain comprises at least a first and second lever pivotally connected at a crossing point, which levers are articulated at their first ends to the housing, are hinged at their second ends to the pins and articulated at its point of intersection to the holding part ,
- the two-lever design requires horizontal guide slots on the housing and the pin mount in which the ends of the lever pair can slide. It is preferred to optimize the number of pairs of levers, so that on the one hand the articulated chain an extended length of at least 38 mm is achieved and on the other hand in the retracted position is as low and narrow. In this case, the predetermined width of the housing is exploited.
- the articulated chain comprises a first and second lever pivotally connected at a crossing point, which are connected at their ends to a third and fourth or fifth and sixth lever and are pivotally connected to the holding part at their point of intersection, wherein the third and fourth levers are hingedly connected at their free ends to the housing and the fifth and sixth levers are pivotally connected at their free ends to the pins.
- the combination of three hinged lever pairs has the advantage that the required length of the extended joint chain to fully extend the pins can be achieved and the retracted articulated chain can narrow and low together.
- the retracted articulated chain can be accommodated in the housing, because the width of the housing is sufficient to accommodate the retracted articulated chain with its width.
- the housing only has to be increased by three times the height of the joints and therefore has a height which is up to 40% less than the height of housings according to the prior art.
- a joint chain with more than 3 joint pairs leads to a further reduced width in the retracted position, this is at the expense of a greater height of the retracted articulated chain.
- the adjusting part is a slide which is connected to the holding part.
- the holding part can be extended and retracted.
- the link chain causes the pins to be automatically retracted and extended by the holding part movement. Another slider or additional movement of the existing slide is not required.
- the plug comprises a third ground pin, which is displaceable perpendicular to its longitudinal axis and relative to the holding part. Due to the adjustability of the third ground pin, the plug is suitable for the Swiss plug standard, if the ground pin is arranged off-center. If the grounding pin is moved to the middle of the front of the holding part, then the travel plug can be in a Plug in Italian socket.
- the displaceability of the earthing pin is preferably achieved in that its end, which is held on the holding part, has a flattening. The flattening is guided displaceably in a groove of the holding part.
- the pins for stabilization are guided relative to the holding part with a guide device on the holding part. This makes it possible that the pins are held stable even in the extended state in the holding part. An unwanted movement or wobbling of the pins in the holding part is reliably prevented.
- guide devices embodiments are conceivable in which the pins are held in a form-fitting manner on the holding part and along a rail on the inside of the holding part in height are displaceable.
- the holding part facing the ends of the pins are held on a carriage, which is linearly displaceable relative to the holding part. It is conceivable that the carriage is positively held on a rail and slides along.
- the rail may be attached to the inner shell of the holding part or be formed on this.
- At least one gear is rotatably supported on the carriage, which is rollable along a provided or formed on the holding part rack.
- a shaft is rotatably supported on the carriage at both its ends a first and a second gear is rotationally fixed or formed and the first and the second gear each provided on a provided on the holding part or first and second rack is unrolled.
- the first and second gear allows a symmetrical mounting of the carriage to the holding part.
- the symmetrical arrangement of the gears at the ends of the shaft allows a double guidance of the carriage, whereby it is guided particularly stable in the holding part and can still be moved with low frictional resistance.
- FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a travel plug according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a side view along the section line II-II with a plug in retracted position
- Figure 3 another side view with the retracted plug
- Figure 4 is another plan view of the travel plug with the plug in the extended position
- Figure 5 is a side view along the section line III-III with the plug in the extended position
- Figure 6 another side view with the extended plug
- Figure 7 is a side view of another embodiment of the invention with the extended plug
- FIG. 8 shows a side view along the section line VIII-VIII in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8
- FIG. 9 shows a plan view along the section line IX-IX in FIG. 8.
- FIGS. 1 to 6 show a travel connector, which is numbered 11 in its entirety.
- the travel plug serves to connect electrical plugs of a certain country standard with an electrical socket of another country standard. It is therefore an adapter between a plug and a socket, which do not match.
- the travel plug 11 comprises a housing 13. On the housing 13 a plurality of sockets 15a, 15b, 15c are provided for plugging in connectors.
- the sockets 15 a, 15 b, 15 c are electrically connected to a plug 17.
- the plug 17 comprises a holding part 19, two pins 21 a, 21 b and an optional ground pin 23, which are accommodated in the holding part 19.
- the holding part 19 can be moved out of the housing 13 along its longitudinal axis.
- the pins 21, 23 can be extended from the holding part 19.
- the plug 17 is as shown in the figures for Italian and
- the plug 17 can be used as a so-called 2-pin "Euro plug".
- the housing 13 must have a height which corresponds at least to the sum of the displacement path of the holding part 19 out of the housing 13 and the displacement path of the pins 21, 23 out of the holding part 19.
- the height of the housing 13 is therefore at least 40 mm in travel plugs according to the prior art.
- the length of the holding part 19 and the pins 21, 23 can not be reduced, since these are standardized.
- the known travel plug are therefore relatively large, which contradicts the need of travelers for the most compact travel plugs.
- the pins 21, 23 can be extended with a link chain 25, which is also known as "Nürnberger scissors", out of the holding part 19.
- the link chain 25 comprises first and second levers 27a, 27b, which are connected to one another At the point of intersection, the first and second levers 27a, 27b are also connected to the holding part 19 in an articulated manner.
- first and second levers 27a, 27b are hinged a third and a fourth lever 31a, 31b with their lower ends.
- the upper ends of the third and fourth levers 31a, 31b are hinged together and to the housing 13 via a first hinge 32.
- the length of the third and fourth levers 31a, 31b corresponds substantially to half the length of the first and second levers 27a, 27b.
- a fifth and a sixth lever 33a, 33b At the lower ends of the first and second levers 27a, 27b are hinged a fifth and a sixth lever 33a, 33b with their upper ends.
- the lower ends of the fifth and sixth levers 33a, 33b are pivotally connected to a holding plate 35 via second hinges 37a, 37b.
- the holding plate 25 in turn carries the pins 21, 23rd
- the length of the fifth and sixth levers 33a, 33b also corresponds substantially to half the length of the first and second levers 27a, 27b.
- the length of the levers 27,31,33 is dimensioned such that the articulated chain 25 can be folded to a low height.
- the height of the link chain 25 corresponds in the folded state of the sum of the width of the lever 27, 31 and 33.
- the levers are also dimensioned such that the length of the link chain 25 in the extended state the Sum of the length of the holding part 19, the length of the pins 21, 23 exceeds. Thereby, the holding part 19 and the pins 21,23 can be fully extended by the link chain 25.
- the ground pin 23 can be moved at right angles along slots 39. As a result, the grounding pin 23 can be adjusted between different positions so that it corresponds to either the Italian standard or the Swiss standard.
- a guide device 43 is provided between the holding part 19 and the pins 21a, 21b, which is shown in Figures 8 and 9.
- the pins 21a, 21b are fixedly connected to a carriage 45.
- the carriage 45 slides along the inner walls of the holding part 19. Its outer dimensions are dimensioned such that the carriage 45 is free from wobble and can be displaced linearly up and down along the inner walls of the holding part.
- the stability of the carriage 45 and thus also the pins 21 a, 21 b relative to the holding part 19 is improved by the guide device 43.
- the guide device 43 comprises a shaft 47, which is rotatably supported on the carriage 45.
- a first and a second gear 49 a, 49 b are arranged, or formed and fixedly connected to the shaft 47.
- the toothed wheels 49a, 49b are unrolled during extension and retraction of the pins 21a, 21b, 23 out of and into the holding part 19 along a first and second rack 51a, 51b.
- the toothed racks are arranged or formed on the inner rear side of the holding part 19.
- the guide device 43 makes it possible for the carriage 45 to be accommodated in the holding part 19 in a gap-free and thus wobble-free manner and nevertheless to be able to be displaced virtually without resistance along the height of the holding part.
- the extension or retraction mechanism works as follows: On the holding part 19, a slider 41 is fixed, which projects through a slot from the housing 13. By moving the holding part 19 out of the housing 13 with the aid of the slide 41, the pins 21, 23 are also extended out of the holding part 19, since these are connected to the holding part via the articulated chain 25. By cleverly selected articulation of the articulated chain 25 on the housing 13, the Haiteteil 19 and the support plate 35, the support plate 35 and the pins 21,23 is forced accordingly. For a given traversed displacement of the holding part 19, the link chain 25 is around the extended double length of this displacement. As a result, the pins 21,23 are automatically fully extended when the holding part is fully extended, although the slider 41 has been moved only by the length of the holding part 19. The housing 13 can therefore be reduced to a height which corresponds to the sum of the length of the holding part 19 and the height of the articulated chain 25 in the retracted state.
