Definitions

  • the invention relates to a socket for a combined electrical connection and data connection between a motor vehicle and a vehicle component such as a vehicle trailer or a vehicle-mounted machine or the like of a passenger car, truck, agricultural vehicle or other commercial vehicle.
  • the socket should be suitable for mounting in the outside area of the motor vehicle, which requires a mechanically correspondingly robust structure, which must also be specially sealed. Especially when data is being transmitted, effects caused by moisture, for example changes in capacity in the area of the contacts, can lead to disruptions in data communication.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a socket with data contacts and conventional electrical contacts that meet high tightness requirements, enable secure data transmission and allow the plug to be easily inserted into the socket.
  • the data connector has at least one electrically conductive, in particular a metallic, outer socket for electrically shielding the data transmission in the data connector, at least one data contact for establishing the data connection and one in the (or more) outer socket -
  • Each) outer socket has a carrier body made of an insulating material for receiving the at least one data contact, the data contact or the preferably several data contacts being fixed in a sealing manner in the carrier body by pressing in or overmolding, and the carrier body being fixed in a sealing manner in the outer socket by pressing or injection.
  • An electrically and magnetically acting shield is particularly preferred.
  • a common shield can be provided for all data contacts, which are all fixed together in the carrier body.
  • the carrier body is accommodated in the outer socket in a reliably sealed manner. This avoids that, in the case of several data contacts, several shields have to be accommodated in a sealing manner in the socket housing and that each carrier body has to be reliably sealed again in each shield.
  • certain data lines and data contacts should be shielded separately from other data lines and data contacts.
  • individual data contacts or groups of data contacts can, according to the invention, also be surrounded by their own shielding and received in the contact carrier of the socket.
  • the shielding with the enclosed data contacts then acts in principle as a separate shielded data connector, so that interference from other data transmissions is very reliably shielded.
  • a plurality of such data plugs can then be provided in a socket.
  • control voltages or control currents are also transmitted via the data contacts, for example if a shielded connection is to be provided for an application that requires the transmission of data and control signals.
  • a low-voltage supply voltage can also be made available via data contacts, for example for electronic circuits with low power requirements. It is also possible to additionally transmit the ground on the shielding via a data contact.
  • the data contacts in the data plug connector can in particular be pin contacts and / or socket contacts made of electrically conductive material, which produce an electrically conductive connection with the respective corresponding mating contacts.
  • Pin and socket contacts have particularly large contact areas and thus achieve the smallest possible contact resistance. This improves the quality of the data transmission.
  • Material with a low dielectric constant ⁇ R within the meaning of the invention is in particular a material with a dielectric constant of approximately ⁇ R ⁇ 3.5, preferably of approximately ⁇ R ⁇ 3.0 and particularly preferably of approximately ⁇ R 2.5.
  • both the at least one data contact is sealingly received and fixed in the carrier body and the carrier body is sealingly received and fixed in the outer socket according to the invention, the connection areas of the data plug formed on both sides of the carrier body are reliably sealed. Via the plug-in opening, which is possibly exposed to the ingress of moisture at least when a plug of the vehicle component is plugged in, moisture cannot penetrate through the data connector into the data network of the vehicle.
  • the solution proposed according to the invention meets the standards ISO 4019, LV 214, USCAR 2, SAE and combines in a common plug connection common electrical contacts for voltage and power supply and for the direct switching of electrical components (lights, machines, etc.) a data transmission that is used to transmit all types of sensor information, including images from digital cameras that are to be displayed to the driver and transmitted via the socket in a data transmission.
  • the electrical contacts and the at least one data contact, and preferably all data contacts of a total of several data contacts are designed as axially straight contacts (e.g. pin or socket contacts) that extend from the rear connection space extend straight into the insertion opening.
  • Their ends can be connected directly to the vehicle network, e.g. a vehicle-side connector, and to the connector of the vehicle component, without a complex geometry, in particular of the data contacts and / or an interposed circuit board, being able to impair the quality of the data transmission.
  • the proposed socket therefore preferably does not have a circuit board on which the contacts are fixed and possibly connected to one another via conductor tracks and / or interposed electronic components that each extend into the rear connection space and the insertion opening. This promotes a high quality of data transmission.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the proposed socket provides that the outer socket of the data connector is received in a sleeve of the contact carrier which rests against the outer circumference of the outer socket, ie surrounds it in a form-fitting manner. It can be provided that the outer sleeve extends in its axial direction over at least about a third or half of the length of the outer sleeve. Because the outer circumference of the outer socket rests on the inner circumference of a sleeve of the contact carrier, the outer socket can not only be securely fixed in the contact carrier, but a particularly good seal is also achieved.
  • the sleeve preferably even extends in the axial direction of the outer sleeve over at least three quarters of the length of the outer sleeve. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sleeve extends in the axial direction of the outer sleeve over the entire length of the outer sleeve. The longer the sleeve, the better the guidance when inserting the plug into the socket.
  • an inwardly protruding, i.e. the opening cross-section of the sleeve reducing, collar is formed at the end of the sleeve located in the insertion opening.
  • This collar makes it possible, for example, to push the outer socket of the data connector from the rear connection space into the sleeve of the contact carrier until it hits the collar.
  • the outer socket or the entire data connector is fixed in a defined manner in the contact carrier.
  • the end of the outer socket protruding into the insertion opening is protected from mechanical damage by the sleeve. Such damage can possibly make it more difficult to insert the plug of the vehicle component, damage the seal due to the force acting and / or impair the quality of the data transmission.
  • the electrical contacts i.e. the electrical contacts or a part thereof can also be arranged and positioned in corresponding sleeves of the contact carrier.
  • This also applies to the following variants of the fixing and sealing, which will again be described with reference to the outer shell of the data connector and can also apply in accordance with the invention to the electrical contacts in the same or correspondingly similar manner.
  • an outwardly protruding mandrel profile can be formed on the outer circumference of the outer socket, which is pressed into the inner wall of the sleeve of the contact carrier when the outer socket is pressed in.
  • This mandrel profile has two effects that are desirable according to the invention: On the one hand, the outer bushing is securely fixed in the sleeve by pressing in the mandrels of the mandrel profile. By compressing the material of the sleeve, it is in this area with special pressure on the outer sleeve and thus achieves a reliable seal.
  • the housing and the contact carrier of the socket are preferably made from a suitable plastic material, for example in an injection molding process, for example from polyamide, such as reinforced or unreinforced PA 6 or PA 6.6, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polypropylene (PP), polyoxymethylene (POM) or other suitable plastics.
  • a suitable plastic material for example in an injection molding process, for example from polyamide, such as reinforced or unreinforced PA 6 or PA 6.6, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polypropylene (PP), polyoxymethylene (POM) or other suitable plastics.
  • PBT polybutylene terephthalate
  • PP polypropylene
  • POM polyoxymethylene
  • the housing and contact carrier insert are manufactured in one piece in one injection molding step. This avoids additional contact surfaces between housing parts that would have to be sealed.
  • the invention can also be used in sockets in which the socket housing and the contact carrier are constructed in several parts and the contact carrier is inserted into the housing
  • the mandrel profile can have a plurality of mandrels spaced apart in the axial direction on the outer circumference of the outer sleeve.
  • a mandrel can be formed, for example, by a triangular projection of the outer bushing that runs around the outer circumference.
  • Particularly preferred is a shape in which the mandrel protrudes and opens on the side facing the rear connection space exactly or essentially perpendicularly from the outer circumference, for example at an angle between 80 ° or 100 ° or between 85 ° or 95 ° the side facing away from the rear connection space connects again to the outer circumference at an angle of less than 80 ° or greater than 100 °. Angles smaller than 45 ° or larger than 135 ° are preferred. This facilitates the insertion of the outer socket into the sleeve from the rear connection space and makes it more difficult to push it out in the opposite direction.
  • the mandrels can also be formed by rectangular projections which project symmetrically, preferably at right angles, from the respective wall.
  • One Such or a similar, for example, formed from rectangular grooves, mandrel profile is also suitable if it is overmolded in an injection molding process and not pushed into a sleeve. During injection molding, the injected plastic material wraps itself around the mandrels of the mandrel profile (or penetrates into the grooves of the mandrel profile, and ensures both an axial fixation and a reliable seal.
  • the mandrel profile can have one, two or more mandrels (or grooves), preferably about one to three.
  • the outer socket of the data connector and the sleeve of the contact carrier each preferably have a round cross-section with which the same sealing effect can be achieved over the entire outer circumference.
  • the outer socket of the contact carrier insert and possibly the electrical contacts can also be overmolded directly in an injection molding process when the housing of the socket outlet is being formed.
  • a thorn profile leads to better fixation.
  • the direct encapsulation of the outer socket of the data connector and / or the contacts also leads to a high level of tightness.
  • a sealing receptacle of the carrier body made of insulation material in the outer socket is also provided.
  • an inwardly protruding mandrel profile can be formed on the inner circumference of the outer bushing when the carrier body is pressed into the outer bushing, it is pressed into the outer wall of the carrier body. In this way, too, secure fixation and a high level of tightness between the carrier body and the outer bushing are achieved.
  • the mandrel profile can have one or more mandrels, preferably about one to three, spaced apart in the axial direction on the inner circumference of the outer sleeve.
  • a mandrel can be formed, for example, by a triangular projection of the outer bushing that runs around the inner circumference.
  • Particularly preferred is a shape in which the mandrel protrudes and opens on the side facing the rear connection space exactly or essentially perpendicularly from the inner circumference, for example at an angle between 80 ° or 100 ° or between 85 ° or 95 ° the side facing away from the rear connection space connects again to the inner circumference at an angle of less than 80 ° or greater than 100 °. Angles smaller than 45 ° or larger than 135 ° are preferred.
  • the mandrels can also be formed by rectangular projections which project symmetrically, preferably at right angles, from the respective wall.
  • the outer socket of the data plug connector and the carrier body preferably each have a round cross section, with which a uniform sealing effect can be achieved over the entire outer circumference.
  • a seal is provided on the outer wall of the carrier body, for example in a sealing groove running around the outer circumference of the carrier body, which seal is supported on the inner wall of the outer bushing when the carrier body is received in the outer bushing.
  • a seal is particularly useful in embodiments in which the carrier body is inserted into the outer bushing by pressing and is fixed there in a sealing manner.
  • the seal can be formed, for example, by a sealing ring, such as an O-ring seal.
  • a sealing ring such as an O-ring seal.
  • a particular advantage of the seal (compressed during sealing) is that it is suitable for compensating for different expansion behavior of the outer bushing and the carrier body, which typically consist of different materials, such as metal and an insulation material.
  • different expansion behavior of the outer socket and support body at certain temperatures can result in a seal that is reliable in other temperature ranges no longer working properly due to fluctuations in size. It has been shown that such fluctuations in size can be compensated for by providing an additional seal (or several additional seals) and the tightness can be reliably established.
  • seals in particular two or three seals, axially spaced from one another, are provided on the outer wall of the carrier body.
  • a seal with several sealing lips can also be provided. This offers redundancy in the sealing if a seal or a sealing surface on the inner wall of the outer socket and / or on the outer wall of the carrier body, for example in the groove provided there, has damage, such as scratches, which impair the tightness.
  • a flange-like projection can be provided on the inner wall of the outer socket, which projection reduces the free inner diameter of the outer socket in the area of the projection.
  • This projection limits the insertion path of a body inserted into the outer socket.
  • the carrier body can also be cast into the outer bushing.
  • an outwardly protruding spine profile can be formed on the outer circumference of the at least one data contact (or all data contacts), which when the data contact is pressed into a through opening of the carrier body into an inner wall of the through opening depresses. Reliable sealing and fixing of the data contact in the carrier body is achieved in this way in the manner already described above.
  • all of the data contacts provided in the socket are arranged together in a common external socket.
  • This is particularly space-saving and allows a large number of electrical contacts and data contacts to be accommodated in the socket.
  • only one outer socket has to be sealed in the contact carrier of the socket outlet. This is simpler and cheaper to manufacture and reduces the likelihood of a leak, because basically at every connection surface between the contact carrier and a connector (e.g. an electrical contact or a data connector) leaks can occur.
  • This measure proposed according to the invention significantly reduces the number of connection surfaces.
  • sockets with more than one external socket for shielding the data contacts also belong to the subject matter of the invention, as already explained at the beginning.
  • sockets between two to ten data contacts can preferably be provided.
  • two data contacts are sufficient, with one data contact (preferably the bus ground) possibly also through the electrically conductive, i.e. metallic, outer socket can be replaced. In this case, an additional data contact (in addition to the external socket) is sufficient for data transmission.
  • two data contacts can be provided.
  • an Ethernet connection can be implemented via eight data contacts, which usually provides for cabling with 4 twisted wire pairs.
  • the person skilled in the art can suitably adapt the number of data contacts, for example in order to surround each of the twisted wire pairs of an Ethernet line with an electrically separate (separate) shield.
  • about two to eight electrical contacts can be provided in the socket, which are arranged around the data connector.
  • the data plug connector - possibly with only one outer socket - is arranged axially relative to the round plug-in pattern and the rest electrical contacts are arranged offset radially outward around the outer socket (s) of the connector.
  • the electrical contacts can be provided to transmit a supply voltage from the motor vehicle to the motor vehicle component. This will often be a DC voltage using two contacts. For example, currents of up to 10A can be permitted via the supply voltage. If, for example, machines or similar systems of the vehicle components are required to operate, it makes sense to provide electrical contacts that are designed for higher currents, for example currents of 25A or 60A.
  • the rear connection space of the socket has a connection opening into which a vehicle-side connector can be inserted for connecting the socket to the vehicle network. This makes it easier to connect the socket to the vehicle network and to replace the socket in the event of a defect. A direct connection of connecting lines of the vehicle wiring harness to contacts in the socket is avoided.
  • FIG. 1 shows a socket 1 according to the invention for a combined electrical connection and data connection between a motor vehicle and, for example, a trailer as a vehicle component.
  • the socket 1 has a housing 2 with an insertion opening 3 into which a plug 4 of the vehicle component (trailer) can be inserted.
  • a cover 5 is hinged to the housing 2 of the socket 1, which cover closes the insertion opening 3 in a sealing manner when not in use, the cover 5 being pretensioned in the closing direction by means of a spring 6.

These spring sleeves encompass a shield for the plugs inserted into the data connector 140, so that contact is made with the shield through the socket outlet 1. These spring sleeves 52 are also shown in the sectional drawing according to fixed point 3.
  • the socket 201 differs in the way in which the data connector 240 and the contacts 230 for the electrical connection are fixed. In the embodiments described above, the data connector and the contacts for the electrical displacement were each pressed into the sleeves of the contact carrier.
  • the variant of the invention now described shows electrical contacts 230 and a data connector 240 which were cast in during the injection molding of the housing 202 and the contact carrier 220.
  • the electrical contacts 230 instead of a mandrel profile with triangular mandrels, the electrical contacts 230 have a mandrel profile 233 with rectangular, groove-shaped mandrels, in whose groove-like recesses the injection molding material is poured.
  • the outer socket 242 has a rectangular mandrel profile 243 instead of the outwardly protruding mandrel profile with triangular mandrels through grooves embedded in the outer wall of the outer socket 242, which is encapsulated in the same way when the housing 202 of the socket 201 is injection molded.
  • the data connector 240 itself has also been produced by casting the carrier body 247 into the outer socket 242.
  • the data contacts 241 have a contact body 245 with a mandrel profile 246 which is formed by rectangular grooves let into the contact body 245.
  • a rectangular mandrel profile 248 protrudes inward from the inner wall of the outer bushing 242, so that the carrier body 247 made of insulation material can be cast into the outer bushing 242 accordingly.
