Definitions

  • Magnetic mechanical fasteners with mechanical latching are known from PCT / DE2007 / 001245, PCT / DE2008 / 001 162, PCT / DE2009 / 000483 of the applicant, which automatically close in a closing direction by magnetic force and in a direction different from the closing direction are open.
  • the contact elements must have a high conductivity at the point of contact and, secondly, the contact elements must be pressed against one another with a certain contact force. It is known to design plug contacts in such a way that they rub against each other when they are put into or into each other in order to firstly grind off a possibly existing oxide layer or contamination, such as secondly to ensure a contact pressure. However, this is cumbersome in the daily handling, since a back pressure for closing the contacts and a return to closing the contacts is needed, so each two hands are needed.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an electrical contact which causes a reliable and contacting two current conductive contact elements, which closes automatically by magnetic force and is easy to open.
  • the basic idea of the invention is, in the case of an electrical connection module consisting of a first structural unit and a second structural unit, to perform the closing operation and opening operation of a first electrical contact element arranged on the first structural unit and of a second electrical contact element arranged on the second structural unit, but rather non-mirrored to proceed differently as follows:
  • the magnetic elements of the first assembly and the second unit may each be formed by a magnet or on the one hand by a magnet and on the other hand by a magnetic anchor made of a ferromagnetic material.
  • both the contact elements and the magnets are first displaced laterally in order to abrade or shave off existing oxide layers or contaminants during the movement.
  • the contact elements do not take the shortest path for separation, but are guided by suitable guide elements in a predetermined opening direction, which is different from the closing direction, but not mirror-inverted, and only then separated.
  • the opening direction may for example be a linear displacement substantially perpendicular to the closing direction, the opening direction may for example be a rotation about the closing direction, the opening direction may be, for example, a rotation about the perpendicular to the closing direction.
  • the dimensioning of the magnets is advantageously chosen so that the initially necessary force to move in the opening direction is significantly smaller than the force with which the magnets would have to be separated against the closing direction.
  • the electrical connection module can be constructed according to this technical teaching so that relatively strong magnets provide the contact pressure of the contact elements and still the electrical connection module is easy, with one hand, solvable.
  • the main advantages of the invention are the robust electrical contacting or the self-cleaning effect of the same and the pleasant opening operation.
  • a mechanical undercut between the first and second structural unit is additionally engaged during the closing operation by means of magnetic force and is engaged in the opening process by displacement in the o.g. Opening direction solved.
  • the first component and second component are stably secured against the closing direction, but by a predetermined opening movement, the units can be easily separated from each other.
  • a cable connector with this technical teaching can be produced, which is mechanically strong to train, but can be separated by shaking or panning.
  • a latching closure is closed by means of magnetic force during the closing process and the latching closure is opened by displacement in the opening direction during the opening process.
  • embodiments according to the patent applications PCT / DE2007 / 001245, PCT / DE2008 / 001 162 and PCT / DE2009 / 000483 of the applicant are included.
  • the contact element and the magnet are displaceably mounted in the opening direction in the second structural unit. When moving the contact element then not the first unit and the second unit are moved against each other in the opening direction, but only the contact element and the magnet of the second unit is moved relative to the first unit.
  • first and second structural units can be plugged into one another in the closing direction by closing guide elements in the closing direction.
  • the contact element, the magnet and a detent are mounted displaceably in the opening direction in the second structural unit.
  • first and second structural units can be plugged into one another in the closing direction by closing guide elements in the closing direction.
  • the contact element and the magnet are fixedly mounted in the second structural unit, and the first structural unit and the second structural unit are mounted displaceably relative to one another in the opening direction.
  • a plurality of contact elements are each provided in the first structural unit and second structural unit of a connecting module. It is advantageous to provide springs that urge the contact elements against each other, although the magnets are stronger than the springs.
  • a metallic detent spring is provided in one of the assemblies which fulfills a dual function: on the one hand it is part of the mechanical detent device by being deflected by magnetic force during engagement and finally into an undercut arranged in the other assembly. On the other hand, it is part of a second electrical contact pair of third and fourth contact element, which is arranged in addition to the inventive (main) contact pair of first and second contact element such that the metallic detent spring in close positional relationship to Undercut disposed second contact after locking touched and the spring tension of the metallic detent spring provides a contact pressure, which ensures a reliable electrical contact between the metallic detent spring and the second contact.
  • the metallic detent spring can either be made as a whole of metal, or can be made only on the reaching of the fourth contact element in contact portions of electrically conductive materials.
  • connection modules each with their own magnets, are combined to form a multiple connection module.
  • the electrical contact elements are at the same time designed as holders for the magnets, for example by arranging the magnets in hat-shaped sheet metal sleeves, the hat brim connecting the contact elements and magnets to the surrounding material in a form-fitting manner.
  • an electrical connection module according to the invention is used as a closure for a chest strap or hip belt of a backpack, a bag or a school bag. This is of particular advantage if, for example, a warning light to backpack, bag or satchels to be switched with the closing of the chest or hip belt.
  • the contact elements are mounted directly between the magnets.
  • the second structural unit has a latching device which serves to lock the structural units together when the connecting module is in a closed position in which the structural units are attached to one another.

  • the latching device may have at least one latching element, which is movable relative to a housing of the second constructional unit, and which realizes the at least one second contact element.
  • the locking element may be formed for example via an elastic spring tongue. It is also conceivable and possible, however, the locking element For example, to be arranged pivotably on the housing of the second unit. In the closed position of the connection module, the latching element engages with an associated latching element of the other, first unit and also electrically contacts an associated first contact element of the first unit, so that via the latching element of the latching device of the second unit an electrical contact with an associated first contact element the first unit is made.
  • the at least one latching element is spring-biased relative to the housing.
  • the locking element may in this case, for example, pivotally mounted on the housing and is spring-biased for example via a suitable spring element relative to the housing, so that in the closed position the locking element bears under elastic bias on the associated locking element of the first unit and also a favorable electrical Making contact.
  • the latching device of the second structural unit has two latching elements that can be moved relative to the housing, for example pivoting to the housing, which latchingly receive the latching element of the first structural unit in the closed position of the connecting module.
  • a latching between the units in the closed position of the connection module is created by the two latching elements, wherein each latching element can realize a (separate) second contact element of the second unit, which is in electrical contact with a respectively associated first contact element on the first unit when the connection module is in its closed position.
