Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a securing device for mechanically securing at least one connector plug on a housing.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a securing device for mechanically securing at least one connector plug on a housing creates a safe vibration and / or manipulation protection of the electrical connector in a simple manner.
  • a safety device with the features of claim 1 provides the solution to this problem.
  • the subclaims relate to advantageous developments of the invention.
  • the connecting plug being suitably attached to the base body of the securing device by means of at least one of the band-shaped, tightenable securing means, which preferably is made in one piece from plastic.
  • the securing means can also provide tamper protection for the connector by preventing the connector from being unscrewed or removed.
  • the fuse device according to the invention is particularly suitable for securing M12 connectors, which can be straight or angled.
  • securing device can preferably be designed in such a way that the insertion and / or locking of a connector can be prevented by sealing or tightening at least one of the band-shaped securing means if no connector is to be connected. This also creates protection against manipulation.
  • the receiving section is partially cylindrical and has a contact surface for the connector.
  • the connector can preferably be secured directly to the receiving section by means of one of the band-shaped, tightenable securing means.
  • the contact surface it is possible for the contact surface to have tolerance-compensating shapes and / or structures which are preferably designed to be elastically deformable. In addition to improved vibration damping, this also creates the possibility, in particular, of compensating for any differences in diameter of different connecting plugs.
  • the receiving section has a collar portion at one free end, which is partially annular and preferably comprises an undercut. This collar section enables the at least one band-shaped securing means to be securely attached to the receiving section.
  • the base body has two holding rails which extend parallel to one another and are spaced apart from one another in such a way that they can be pushed laterally onto the housing during assembly.
  • the securing device in particular on the housing of a head module of a control device, can be mounted very simply and intuitively.
  • a simple pre-fixing of the securing device to the housing is made possible in this way.
  • the retaining rails can be shaped such that projections formed on a front side of the housing and extending outward in the opposite direction engage, preferably in a form-fitting manner, the retaining rails when the securing device is installed.
  • An alternative or additional variant of the loss protection for the securing device provides that the base body has, on its outside facing away from the housing during assembly, a stop surface which interacts with a band-shaped securing means received in a receiving eye in the side wall of the housing and tightened therein.
  • the base body can have a side wall with at least one receptacle, the receptacle being designed to receive a connecting cable of the connecting plug and to secure it therein by means of one of the band-shaped, tightenable securing means.
  • the receptacle can be V-shaped or U-shaped and each comprise two legs, each of which has an opening. The connection cable of an angled electrical connector can be received in this V-shaped or U-shaped receptacle.
  • one of the band-shaped securing means in particular a cable tie, is passed through the openings of the two legs of the V-shaped or U-shaped receptacle and passed around the connecting cable and then tightened.
  • This measure provides effective tamper protection for the connecting cable of the relevant connector.
  • the housing 3 is a housing 3 of a head module 80 of a modular control device 90, in particular a safety control device, which is designed to control a machine or technical system.
  • the housing 3 has on its front side 31 a plurality of projections 32, 33 which extend outward in the opposite direction and which engage in the mutually opposite holding rails 6, 7 of the base body 4 during the assembly of the securing device 1, thereby pre-fixing the securing device 1 to allow on the housing 3. Details of the mounting of the securing device 1 on the housing 3 are in particular in 9a and 9b to recognize.
  • two partially cylindrical shaped receiving sections 13, 14 are also formed on the base body 4, each of which forms a contact surface 130, 140 for a connecting plug 2a, 2b.
  • each of the two receiving sections 13, 14 has a collar section 15, 16 at a free end, which is part-ring-shaped and preferably comprises an undercut.
  • the contact surfaces 130, 140 can preferably have tolerance-compensating shapes and / or structures, which are preferably designed to be elastically deformable, in order to improve the vibration damping and to be able to compensate for possible differences in diameter of the electrical connecting plugs 2a, 2b.
  • On a side wall 52 of the base body 4 two V-shaped receptacles 50, 51, each with two legs, each having an opening, are formed. A connection cable 20 of an angled electrical connector 2b can be received in these V-shaped receptacles 50, 51.
  • the base body 4 On its outside facing away from the housing 3 in the intended mounting position, the base body 4 has a stop surface 17 and an elastically pivotable latching pawl 18, on which a latching projection 180 is formed.
  • the pivot direction of the pawl 18 was in Fig. 5 symbolized by a corresponding arrow.
  • the stop surface 17 and the locking pawl 18 represent two fundamentally independent constructive measures to protect the securing device 1 against accidental loss after preassembly on the housing 3 of the head module 80, which can be done by the manufacturer, for example.
  • the stop surface 17 and the latching pawl 18 can be combined with one another depending on the structural design and shape of the base body 4, and their number and position can also be varied.
  • the securing device 1 is pushed laterally onto the housing 3 such that the outwardly extending projections 32, 33 on the front 31 of the housing 3 engage in the mutually opposite holding rails 6, 7 of the base body 4 of the securing device 1.
  • the latching projection 180 of the latching pawl 18 finally engages in the latching recess 35 of the housing 3 in the mounting position of the securing device 1.
  • the connecting cross member 5 is in the Target mounting position on the side wall 30 of the housing 3.
  • the contact surfaces 130, 140 of the receiving sections 13, 14 are in the desired mounting position on the electrical connection plugs 2a. 2b on.
  • a first connection plug 2a is designed as a straight plug, in particular as an M12 plug.
  • a second connector 2b is designed as an angled connector, in particular as an M12 connector.
  • the securing device 1 is designed such that it can secure two straight connecting plugs 2a, two angled connecting plugs 2b or - as shown in this exemplary embodiment - a straight connecting plug 2a and an angled connecting plug 2b and can thereby provide effective protection against vibration and manipulation .
  • other straight or angled connector types can also be secured by means of the securing device 1.
  • a second band-shaped, tightenable securing means 219 which is preferably also designed as a cable tie, is passed through the rear, opposite openings 215, 217 of the securing sections 207, 208 and around the first connecting plug 2a and then tightened.
  • This second band-shaped securing means 219 forms a vibration protection for the first connecting plug 2a in that it can absorb corresponding forces.
  • the second band-shaped securing means 219 can effectively prevent the first connection plug 2a from being unscrewed or pulled out of the connection socket of the housing 3 of the head module 80.
