Description

  • Die Erfindung geht aus von einem schweren Steckverbinder nach der Gattung des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1.
  • Derartige Halterahmen werden insbesondere bei schweren Steckverbindern eingesetzt. Auf der Leiterplatte kann so genannte Wandlerelektronik aufgelötet sein. Hier werden beispielsweise von Glasfasern stammende Lichtsignale in elektrische Signale umgewandelt. Auf der Leiterkarte kann aber auch Sensorik aufgebracht sein, die Betriebszustände der angeschlossenen Maschine und/oder des Steckverbinders überwacht.
    • Stand der Technik
  • Aus der DE 197 076 120 C1 ist ein Halterahmen zur Halterung von Steckverbindermodulen bekannt, der aus zwei gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Hälften gebildet ist, wobei die in Ausnehmungen im Halterahmen einsetzbaren Steckverbindermodule beim Zusammenklappen der Hälften formschlüssig gehalten werden.
  • Die EP 1 801 927 B1 zeigt Halterahmen, bestehend aus einem Kunststoffmaterial, zur Aufnahme von mehreren nebeneinander anzuordnenden Steckverbindermodulen. Zur Halterahmen der Steckverbindermodule sind an seiner Steckseite mehrere durch Schlitze getrennte Wandsegmente vorgesehen, von denen jeweils zwei symmetrisch gegenüberliegende Wandsegmente einen Einfügebereich für ein Steckverbindermodul bilden.
  • Die US 2012/196473 A1 zeigt einen Anbaurahmen für ein Gerät. Der Anbaurahmen umfasst eine Leiterkarte auf der ein D-Sub-Steckverbinder verbaut ist.
  • Die EP 555 733 B1 zeigt eine Anbauschiene, auf welcher eine Steckbuchse für ein elektrisches Gerät befestigt werden kann.
  • Die BE 600 984 A zeigt einen mehrteiligen Anbaurahmen für einen D-Sub-Steckverbinder, der für ein elektrisches Gerät verwendet wird.
  • Die US 5,178,557 A zeigt einen elektrischen Verbinder mit einem Isolator, elektrisch leitenden Kontakten, die im Isolator angeordnet und auf einer Leiterplatte kontaktiert sind. Die Leiterplatte ist zwischen zwei Endblöcken am Verbinder gehalten.
  • Die US 5,211,571 A zeigt einen Leiterkartenrandsteckverbinder mit einer U-förmigen Grundform und einer darin umlaufenden Nut zur Aufnahme der Leiterkarte.
  • Um bei derartigen Halterahmen die Steckverbindermodule mit entsprechender Elektronik zu ergänzen, muss in den Steckverbindermodulen eine Leiterkarte integriert werden, was zu Platzproblemen führen kann. Alternativ muss die Leiterkarte anderweitig im Steckverbindergehäuse befestigt werden, was je nach Befestigungsart und Einsatzgebiet, zu mechanischen Problemen, wie beispielsweise Vibrationsschäden an der Leiterkarte, führen kann.
    • Aufgabenstellung
  • Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin einen schweren Steckverbinder mit einem Halterahmen vorzuschlagen, in welchem eine Leiterkarte platzsparend und sicher gehalten werden kann.
  • Die Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst.
  • Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.
  • Der erfindungsgemäße Halterahmen weist eine Aufnahme für eine Leiterkarte auf. Der Halterahmen hat eine im Wesentlichen rechteckige Grundform. Die Grundform besteht aus einem rechteckigen Rahmenteil, welches eine Rahmenebene einschließt. Am Rahmenteil sind zwei senkrecht aus der Rahmenebene abstehende Haltearme angeformt. In die Haltearme ist eine nach innen weisende Nut eingebracht. Die jeweiligen Nuten der Haltearme sind zueinander hinweisend und parallel zueinander ausgerichtet. In die Nuten kann eine Leiterkarte eingeführt und dadurch im Halterahmen gehalten werden.
  • Vorteilhafterweise besteht der Halterahmen aus einem Kunststoffmaterial. Dadurch kann der Halterahmen kostengünstig in einem Spritzgussprozess hergestellt werden.
  • Alternativ kann der Halterahmen auch in einem Druckgussverfahren, z.B. einem Zinkdruckgussverfahren oder reinem Aluminiumdruckgussverfahren aus einer Zink- oder Aluminiumlegierung hergestellt werden. Dann ist er besonders stabil und Temperaturbeständig.
  • Der Halterahmen ist einteilig ausgeführt. Dadurch kann der Halterahmen in großen Stückzahlen und besonders preisgünstig produziert werden.
  • Erfindungsweise weist der Halterahmen zwei senkrecht aus der Rahmenebene abstehende Führungsarme auf. Mit den Führungsarmen wird der Halterahmen passgenau zu einem Gegensteckverbinder oder einem Anbauflansch ausgerichtet. Dadurch werden die Steckkräfte und der Verschleiß der Kontaktelemente beim Stecken reduziert.
  • Vorzugsweise weist der Halterahmen zwei Öffnungen auf, in welche jeweils ein Führungsarm eines Halterahmens eines Gegensteckverbinders oder eines Anbauflansches einführbar sind. Beim Stecken eines Steckverbinders mit einem Gegensteckverbinder greifen die Führungsarme jedes Halterahmens in die Öffnungen des jeweils anderen gegenüberliegenden Halterahmens ein. Die Führungsarme und die zugehörigen Öffnungen dienen zusammen als Führungsmittel des Halterahmens.
    • Ausführungsbeispiel
  • Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im Folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

    Fig. 5
    eine Prinzipskizze eines Steckvorgangs zweier Halterahmen miteinander.
  • Die Figuren enthalten teilweise vereinfachte, schematische Darstellungen. Zum Teil werden für gleiche, aber gegebenenfalls nicht identische Elemente identische Bezugszeichen verwendet. Verschiedene Ansichten gleicher Elemente könnten unterschiedlich skaliert sein.
  • Die Figur 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Halterahmens 1. Der Halterahmen 1 weist einen im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Grundkörper 2 auf. An dem Grundkörper 2 sind zwei senkrecht aus der Rahmenebene abstehende Haltearme 3 angeformt. Die Haltearme 3 befinden sich an den Schmalseiten des Grundkörpers 2 und sind parallel zueinander ausgerichtet. Die Haltearme 3 befinden sich auf der so genannten Anschlussseite des Halterahmens 1. In die Haltearme 3 ist jeweils eine Nut 4 eingeformt. In die Nuten 4 der Haltearme 3 kann eine Leiterkarte 5 eingeschoben werden. Dadurch wird die Leiterkarte 5 vibrationssicher am Halterahmen 1 gehalten und insbesondere daran fixiert.
  • In Figur 2 ist zu erkennen, dass auf der Leiterkarte 5 ein Steckverbinder 6 aufgelötet ist. Das Steckgesicht 7 des Steckverbinders 6 ragt steckseitig aus dem Grundkörper 2 des Halterahmens 1 heraus. An den Schmalseiten des Grundkörpers 2 ist steckseitig jeweils ein aus der Rahmenebene heraus abstehender Führungsarm 8 angeformt. Die Führungsarme 8 dienen zur passgenauen Ausrichtung des Halterahmens 1 mit einem weiteren Halterahmen 1' in einem Gegensteckverbinder oder einem Anbauflansch. Die Führungsarme 8 sind in ihrer Höhe versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Durch die versetzte Anordnung der Führungsarme 8 kann der Halterahmen 1 mit einem baugleichen Halterahmen 1'gesteckt werden. Die Halterahmen können dabei in einen Steckverbinder 10 oder in einen Anbauflansch 10' eingebaut sein. Ober- bzw. unterhalb der Führungsarme 8 sind Öffnungen 9 im Halterahmen 1 eingebracht. Hier können die Führungsarme 8 eines anderen Halterahmens 1' beim Steckvorgang eingreifen. Dies Vorgang wird weiter unten noch genauer erläutert.
  • In Figur 3 ist ein Steckverbinder 10 und in Figur 4 ein entsprechender Anbauflansch 10' gezeigt. Sowohl im Steckverbinder 10 wie auch im Anbauflansch 10' ist ein erfindungsgemäßer Halterahmen 1 mit einer Leiterkarte 5 und einem darauf befindlichen Steckverbinder 6 enthalten.
  • Der Halterahmen 1 kann samt Leiterkarte 5 sowohl von vorne - also steckseitig - als auch von hinten - also anschlussseitig - in ein Steckverbindergehäuse 10 oder einen Anbauflansch 10' eingeschoben bzw. montiert werden.
  • In Figur 5 wird der Steckvorgang zweier Halterahmen 1, 1' miteinander gezeigt. Beim Steckvorgang greifen die Führungsarme 8 des einen Halterahmens 1 in die Öffnungen 9 des gegenüberliegenden Halterahmens 1' und umgekehrt. Dadurch werden die Halterahmen 1, 1' passgenau zueinander positioniert. Die Führungsarme 8 und zugehörigen Öffnungen 9 dienen hierbei als Führungsmittel beim Steckvorgang. Dadurch können die auf der Leiterkarte 5 befindlichen Steckverbinder 6 verschließarm miteinander gesteckt werden. Die Führungsarme 8 und Öffnungen 9 dienen hier gleichzeitig als so genannte Kodierungsmittel. Ein verdrehtes Stecken von Steckverbinder 10 und Anbauflansch ist nicht möglich.
