Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lockable and unlockable connector according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.
  • Such lockable and unlockable connectors can be separated from a mating connector with little manual effort and therefore have a high ease of use.
  • the mating connector in a single direction of movement and so done with a single hand movement.
  • the mating connector has a mounting housing and may e.g. be attached to a housing wall, so that this process is usually carried out with a single hand.
  • Connectors for use in harsh and damp industrial environments This has a rectangular shaped connector housing, z. B. a zinc injection-molded connector housing, which is on the one hand comprises a corresponding unlocking sleeve, and in which on the other hand a plug insert is fixed.
  • the connector housing is provided with an unlocking sleeve and has a locking device, which during the mating process a lock with a
  • Mating connector causes.
  • a disadvantage of this prior art is that such a mechanism significantly increases the size of the connector housing of a connector, so that known push-pull connector by this mechanism for many applications have too large a cross-section.
  • German Patent and Trademark Office has in the priority application for the present application, the following prior art research: DE 10 2013 222 41 1 A1 and DE 197 14 459 A1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a push-pull latch, which has the smallest possible space requirement and still ensures a sufficiently high holding power in the locked state.
  • the lockable and unlockable connector has the following:
  • a connector housing with several sides, each having a flat shape
  • a plug insert which is fixed in the connector housing or at least fixable
  • an unlocking sleeve which surrounds the connector housing and displaceable against the insertion direction
  • Unlocking sleeve is arranged, the United and
  • Unlocking element held on the connector housing and at least partially parallel to this first side is movable.
  • the connector housing may be square or rectangular shaped in cross-section and may preferably be four sides,
  • the unlocking sleeve may have a rectangular or square in cross-section shape.
  • the locking and unlocking element is at least partially formed of a resilient material, thereby to ensure its said mobility. This is for cost-effective production of particular advantage, in particular, when the locking and unlocking element is partially fixed to the connector housing and in particular even integral with it.
  • On the locking element a plurality of latching hooks can be arranged, in particular be formed.
  • the locking element may have a plurality of latching arms, each latching arm having a first, namely a fixed, and a second, namely a movable, end and wherein each latching arm is fastened with its first (fixed) end to the connector housing and wherein the second (movable) end of the latching arm is movable parallel to said side.
  • the latching arms between their first and second end connected to each other via at least one transverse strut and thereby be movable together.
  • the locking element advantageously also requires only a single engagement or engagement device, which serves to cooperate with the Entriegelungshülse in their displacement against the insertion direction to the complete locking element, i. in particular, its latching arms to move together in one direction.
  • a plurality of latching arms are mutually oppositely movably held on the connector housing.
  • This variant is particularly space-saving and therefore particularly advantageous for small designs. Regardless, this variant also has the advantage that, in particular, the forces occurring during unlocking and / or locking are distributed symmetrically over the connector housing and / or the unlocking sleeve.

  • Each latching hook may have for locking to the respective locking pin of the mating connector a counter to the insertion direction aligned locking surface. In the locked state, this results between each
  • the necessary deflection, in particular deformation, of the locking and unlocking element is inversely proportional to the number of latching hooks.
  • This is particularly advantageous because it allows a locking device with a high holding force, in which at the same time only a slight movement, in particular deformation, is required for locking and unlocking.
  • the resulting restoring spring force may be designed by the shape of the latching arms, e.g. be regulated by their width, as well as by the elasticity of the material.
  • At least one latching hook may have a sliding bevel or Aufgleitrundung for sliding onto the respective locking pin of the mating connector.
  • the locking pin may have a Aufgleitschräge or Aufgleitrundung.
  • the latching hook tapers through the Sliding slope or Aufgleitrundung to the second end of the locking arm out.
  • the latching arms are mechanically connected to one another, in particular between their respective first and second ends, for example by means of a transverse strut. After all, they can be moved together in this way.
  • the engagement or engagement device may consist in a molding of the locking element.
  • the Anformung may have an attack slope, which cooperates, for example, with an unlocking the unlocking sleeve.
  • the unlocking sleeve an attack slope and the locking element have an unlocking pin.
  • the latching arms may be formed at its first end to a mounting base of the connector housing. This has the advantage that the connector is simple and therefore inexpensive to produce.
  • the latching arms and the mounting base can be made in one piece with the connector housing as a plastic part and can be produced for example in an injection molding process.
  • the connector housing can be used together with the

Abstract

La présente invention vise à obtenir une forme structurale compacte d'un connecteur électrique rectangulaire. La solution selon la présente invention porte sur un encliquetage pousser-tirer, dans lequel au moins un élément de verrouillage et de déverrouillage (11) est maintenu mobile parallèlement à un côté large d'un boîtier de connecteur (1). À cette fin, l'élément de verrouillage et de déverrouillage (11) est formé d'une seule pièce avec le boîtier de connecteur (1) en matière plastique élastique et ledit élément de verrouillage et de déverrouillage (11) comporte une pluralité de bras d'encliquetage (111) dotés de crochets d'encliquetage (113). Le mouvement nécessaire au déverrouillage est ainsi inversement proportionnel au nombre de bras d'encliquetage (111) ; l'élasticité est en outre déterminée à l'aide de leur forme, en particulier de leur largeur.
