- Locking mechanism or the connector destroy.
- a primary locking element which is suitable for locking the mating connector and a
- a connector which has a locking ring, wherein the locking ring by means of a Unlocking sleeve can be radially expanded and so a lock is released to a mating connector.
- a disadvantage of the known connectors is that they are locked by a deformation of the connector, or at least a part of the connector. Further, for each additional desired function of the connector, so for example a lock, another component on the connector is necessary.
- the invention relates to a connector with locking, comprising a housing having at least one electrical contact element received therein, a locking ring and a sleeve, in particular a cap sleeve.
- the housing has a plug side and a connection side, wherein the cap sleeve and the locking ring are each arranged on the plug side.
- the cap sleeve is arranged axially movable and cooperates with the locking ring.
- the cap sleeve also has a circumferential undercut and a circumferential, adjoining the undercut groove, wherein the undercut towards the connection side of the
- the connector has a housing.
- it is a substantially cylindrical housing of a
- Circular connector In the housing, at least one contact element is accommodated.
- the contact element may be an electrical or a pneumatic or an optical contact element.
- the conductor is connected to the at least one contact element from the connection side. In the direction of the plug-in side, the at least one electrical contact element can be contacted with a corresponding contact element of the mating plug connector.
- a locking ring is still arranged in the housing on the mating side.
- the locking ring is a
- the locking ring is used for locking connectors and mating connectors.
- the cap sleeve preferably has a snap-hook-like formation.
- the snap-hook-like Anformung points inward in the direction of the locking ring.
- the cap sleeve has no rasthakenähnliche Anformung.
- the cap sleeve has no rasthakendozensnliche Anformung.
- Cap sleeve are inserted in any radial orientation.
- cap sleeve has a circumferential
- Undercut and a circumferential groove directly adjacent to the undercut are arranged in the direction of the connection side and the groove in the direction of the plug side. Undercut and groove thus represent a common recess.
- the cap sleeve on a seal.
- the seal serves on the one hand as protection against external environmental influences and especially the penetration of media into the connector, on the other hand as
- the connector has an annular seal in the region of
- IP International Protection
- undercut and groove resulting recess in the direction of the housing this is already partially protected against external influences.
- the combination of undercut and groove allows the cap sleeve a limited range of motion, from the beginning of the undercut to the end of the groove.
- This movement space allows the cap sleeve is optimally used for mounting and dismounting of the connector.
- the movement space prevents unwanted separation of cap sleeve and housing, which in turn would make assembly or disassembly difficult.
- the seal is a known from the prior art O-ring.
- O-rings are also known as “round ring” or “zero ring”. They provide a powerful and economical sealing element for a variety of different
- O-rings Use cases for static and dynamic use. They consist primarily of elastomeric materials, which gives the O-rings a very wide range of applications. They are used as primary sealing elements, as a single seal or as a quality-locking seal in automotive and mechanical engineering. O-rings are preferably used for radial-static, as well as axial-static, but also the dynamic seal.
- the O-ring is on
- Housing of the connector arranged. Ideally, it is arranged in a circumferential groove on the housing, so that it is fixed to a fixed position.
- the O-ring can not twist or twisting or tilting, which can lead to damage of the O-ring and thus to a reduction of the sealing function.
- the cap sleeve in the region of the circumferential groove and the circumferential undercut over the O-ring is slidably displaceable.
- the cap sleeve thus covers the O-ring and thus prevents the influence of the external environment on the O-ring.
- the design of the seal as an O-ring, in combination with the cover through the cap sleeve, the connector is optimally sealed and meets the desired degree of IP protection.
- the limited range of movement of the cap sleeve is ideally combined with the O-ring at this point. This is the seal of the
- the O-ring not only provides the seal, but also supports a locking of the cap sleeve by adhesion and friction in combination with the undercut. Furthermore, the O-ring allows vibration damping by vibration damping.
- the locking ring is slotted, whereby the locking ring is compressible and expandable.
- Slit here means that the locking ring is not a complete ring, but a ring with a slot, that is a circular segment.
- the slot is small in relation to the total size of the ring educated. The slot allows a compression and / or a width, so an expansion / bending, in the circumferential direction of the
- the locking ring is compressible and expandable by the axial movement of the cap sleeve. This means that the cap sleeve and the
- Interlock locking ring on the plug side of the connector. This interaction ensures easy assembly and disassembly of the connector.
- the width of the locking ring is effected by the axial movement of the cap sleeve from the mating side in the direction of the connection side. The movement begins at the plug side facing the end of the groove and ends in the region of the undercut. In the course of this movement pulls the ratchet-shaped contour of the
- Locking sleeve thus allows a reduction in the number of parts while ensuring the desired, as necessary
- the connector is technically easier to implement and inexpensive to produce.
- Standard components is the connector in this embodiment also It can be used flexibly because it can be used for a wide range of diameters and only has to be adapted in its dimensions, but not in its design.
