Definitions

  • the invention is based on a connector according to the generic type of independent claim 1.
  • Such connectors are used to transmit currents and/or electrical signals.
  • the generic connectors are used in particular in harsh environments. Here the connectors are often exposed to dirt, dust and/or moisture. In particular, such connectors are used in agricultural technology. The conditions here are often particularly rough and dirty.
  • the DE 201 13 501 U1 shows a connector with a locking clip pivotally attached to it.
  • the connector can be reversibly locked to a mating connector via the locking bar when it is plugged into the mating connector.
  • the DE 10 2007 058 949 A1 shows a plug body comprising a lever movably mounted on the plug body and at least one hook for hooked cooperation with at least one complementary notch provided on the socket to lock the plug thereto, the lever being movable between a locked position in which the at least one hook is configured for hooked engagement with the at least one complementary notch, and movable to a released position in which the at least one hook is not configured for hooked engagement with the at least one complementary notch.
  • the US 2014/0127924 A1 shows a connector socket for electric vehicles, which has a bolt which is movably arranged in a recess.
  • the WO 2013/132808 A1 shows a connector with a locking clip that can be locked with a bolt.
  • the DE 10 2011 018 379 B4 shows a connector with locking clip.
  • the locking bar can be locked in the closed position using a spring.
  • the DE 298 059 75 U1 shows a connector mounting housing with a locking clip.
  • the locking bracket can be locked in the closed position using a mechanical fixing device.
  • the locking brackets can simply be swung back, allowing the connector and mating connector to be easily unlocked. If connectors and mating connectors are separated from one another while a machine or device is in operation, this can cause major damage to the corresponding machines or devices. Disconnecting the connector and mating connector during operation is also known as "pulling under load". Such a “pull under load” can not only cause damage to the machines or the devices, but also mean a health hazard for a user due to a so-called overvoltage arc.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a connector that ensures increased safety during operation.
  • the connector should be easy to handle.
  • the connector proposed here consists of a connector housing with a locking clip attached to it so that it can pivot.
  • the plug connector has at least one first recess in which a bolt is arranged or movably mounted directly or indirectly.
  • An indirect arrangement or storage would mean, for example, that the bolt is surrounded by at least one further component and this component is arranged directly in the recess.
  • the locking bracket has at least one second recess.
  • the recess in the connector housing is aligned with the recess in the locking clip.
  • the bolt protrudes into the recess of the locking bracket, as a result of which the pivoting movement of the locking bracket is fixed.
  • the connector could also have second first recesses, in each of which a bolt is arranged.
  • the locking bracket would then also have two second recesses, which can be aligned with the first recesses by a pivoting movement of the locking bracket.
  • the bolt is preferably arranged in a trough part and the trough part is in turn arranged in the recess of the connector housing.
  • the trough part is in turn arranged in the recess of the connector housing.
  • the bolt is mounted on a spring in the trough part.
  • the spring force drives the bolt out of the recess. If the recesses of the connector housing and locking bracket are aligned, the bolt is pressed into the recess of the locking bracket by the spring force.
  • the tray part In the unplugged state, the tray part preferably protrudes into the plug-in area of the plug connector. If the connector is plugged together with a mating connector, the mating connector penetrates into the mating area of the connector and thereby pushes the tray part outwards.
  • the contour of the tub part that protrudes into the plug-in face is correspondingly rounded in shape.
  • the tray part is pressed out of the plug-in area in the direction of the locking bracket by a plug-side framing of the plug-in face of the mating connector. As a result of the above-described spring loading between the tub part and the bolt, the bolt also experiences an outward force.
  • the bolt is pressed against the locking bracket and the spring tensioned. If the locking bracket is then pivoted over the mating connector for locking, whereby the recesses of the connector housing and locking bracket are brought into a flush position with respect to one another, the bolt is pressed by the spring force into the recess of the locking bracket, as a result of which the locking bracket is fixed in its pivoting movement.
  • a guide element is arranged in the recess of the connector.
  • the guide element can be screwed in place in the recess.
  • the guide element is resiliently operatively connected to the tray part.
  • the trough part can be held by the guide element, for example via latching hooks.
  • the trough part is simply pushed from the outside into the hole in the connector housing and held in place by screwing it in with the guide part.
  • the hole itself has a shoulder so that the larger diameter of the tub part cannot be pushed in any further.
  • the bolt is preferably movably mounted in the guide element.
  • the guide element allows the bolt to move outwards (out of the housing) and inwards (into the plug-in area of the housing) in a manner that is true to the guide.
  • an actuator is movably mounted in the recess of the locking clip.
  • the actuator is operatively connected to the bolt.
  • a force can be exerted on the bolt in the axial direction relative to the bolt via the actuator. This allows the bolt to be removed from the recess in the locking bracket.
  • the locking bracket can now be pivoted back from the mating connector, whereby the Lock between connector and mating connector is released.
  • the connector and the mating connector can be separated from each other and transferred to the unmated state.
  • the plug connector preferably has a cover on which the mating face of the plug connector seals media-tight in the unplugged state. This effectively prevents the mating face from getting dirty when it is not mated.
  • the cover is preferably mechanically connected to the locking bracket. With a pivoting movement of the locking bracket for plugging in the connector, the cover is also pivoted away from the mating face of the connector at the same time.
  • the invention also relates to a system consisting of a plug connector with a pivotable locking clip and a matching mating connector, the pivoting movement of the locking clip being fixed in the plugged-in state.
  • the locking bracket is preferably a U-shaped bracket which has recesses on both sides which, in the locked state, engage over the locking pins of the mating connector.
  • FIG 1 is a sectional view in the axial direction through the plug-in area of a connector 1 according to the invention.
  • a substantially U-shaped locking bracket 3 is pivotably mounted on the connector housing 2 .
  • a cover 4 is pivotally mounted on the plug side.
  • the cover 4 is operatively connected to a spring 5 fastened to the connector housing 2 .
  • the spring 5 acts on the cover 4 with a force that drives the cover 4 into its closed sealing position.
  • the cover 4 has pins 6 on the side, which run within a guide groove 7 of the locking clip 3 . About this the lid 4 is pivoted away from its sealing position when the locking bracket 3 accordingly, along the arrow 8, from Connector housing 2 is pivoted.
  • contact elements 22 are arranged, which transmit electrical currents or signals.
  • contact elements 22 which transmit pneumatic or fiber optic signals can also be provided.
  • the connector housing 2 has at least one recess in which a guide element 12 is captively attached, for example screwed.
  • a bolt 11 is movably mounted in the guide element 12 .
  • a trough part 13 is latched or held on the guide element 12 so that it can be displaced in the radial direction.
  • the guide element 12 and the trough part 13 are operatively connected via a spiral spring 15 .
  • a spiral spring 14 Arranged within the hollow bolt 11 is a spiral spring 14 which operatively connects the tub part 13 and the bolt 11 .
  • a guide element 16 is fastened in a recess of the locking clip 3 .
  • a substantially T-shaped actuator 17 is captively fastened in the guide element 16 with the aid of a locking ring 18 .
  • the tray part 13 is pressed into the plug-in area of the connector 1 by the spring force of the spiral spring 15 .
  • the tray part 13 is pressed radially outwards out of the plug-in area.
  • the bolt 11 located in the recess of the locking bracket 3 can be pushed back into a position within the connector housing 2 by the actuator 17 - against the spring force of the spiral spring 14 . Then the locking bracket 3 can be pivoted away from the mating connector 10 again. The connector 1 and the mating connector 10 can be separated from each other. By actively releasing a plug connection via an actuator 17, a user becomes aware of what he is doing. This avoids accidental "pulling under load".
  • FIG 5 an alternative embodiment of the actuating mechanism on the locking bracket 3 is shown.
  • the hollow body in the tray part 13' is designed such that the spring 14', which drives the bolt 11' to lock the locking bracket 3, and the spring 15', which drives the tray part 13' into the plug-in area of the connector 1, both on the Bottom of the tub part 13 'are supported.
  • the actuator 17' is made in two parts and includes a guide pin 20 which is mounted in the guide element 16'. This allows a locking ring 18 - omitted - as in the first embodiment.
  • the actuator is connected to the guide pin 20 via a screw 21 .
  • the recess in the locking clip 3 can be sealed with an optional seal 19.
