Definitions
- the invention relates to a device with a plug connection and a plug connection for an electrical connection between an energy store, in particular a battery, and a drive unit, in particular an electric motor.
- the invention relates to an electric bicycle, also called e-bike, which has an electric motor to the drive or the supporting drive, which receives its energy from a battery.
- the electric bicycle has a frame in a manner known per se, wherein this frame is suitable and designed to receive the energy store at least partially, in particular completely. The energy storage is used in the frame or can be removed from this frame again. It is necessary that the battery as a part of the connector has a connector, also called a socket. In the area of the frame in which the battery is to be used, another part of the connector, namely a further connector, arranged, which can also be referred to as a built-in connector.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device with a connector and a connector by means of an energy storage device with a drive unit of the device, the installation position of energy storage and / or drive unit can be connected in the device considered.
- a device comprising a connector, an energy storage and a drive unit is provided, is to be connected via the connector of the energy storage device with the drive unit and the energy storage is brought via a pivoting operation in its installed position while doing a contact via the connector takes place.
- a connector for certain applications (such as electric bicycles, electric vehicles, electrical appliances and the like) is provided in which an energy storage device is to be connected via the connector with a drive unit and the energy storage is brought via a pivoting operation in its installed position and at the same time a contact takes place via the connector.
- a device such as an e-bike
- a plug connection or a plug connection by means of an energy storage device with a drive unit of the device, the installation position of energy storage and / or drive unit in the device can be connected.
- the plug-in connection is plugged together from two connectors, wherein the one connector is a female connector and the other connector is a built-in connector.
- the mounting plug is mounted in a flange, wherein a plug carrier is arranged between the flange and the mounting plug.
- the battery should be able to be swiveled into the frame.
- Flier Left the built-in plug in the bicycle frame is designed in several parts to allow this swinging.
- the built-in plug consists of a flange, which is screwed into the bicycle frame.
- the flange is thus an independent component. It can be provided with a thread, which is screwed into a mating thread in the bicycle frame. This is a way of attaching the flange in the frame given, but if necessary, care must be taken that after screwing a predetermined end position of the flange is achieved in the frame.
- the flange is not screwed directly, but is first inserted into an opening, a recess or the like and thereafter fixed in a suitable manner to the frame, preferably fastened with screws.
- the screw fastening is gluing, Verklipsen, latching, securing with a retaining clip or equivalent fastening into consideration.
- the flange can optionally also be inserted into an intermediate piece and thereby fixed, for example clipped again, and the intermediate piece then inserted into the bicycle frame and suitably (in particular as already described above for the flange). is determined. This means that the mounting of the flange does not always have to be done directly in the frame.
- a plug In this flange a plug is floating, so that in one axis a rotational movement is possible. Due to the one-sided storage, for example on springs, this floating mounted connector is in the unplugged state of the connector at an angle to allow the contact with the battery-side panel jack before the Einschwenkvorgang the battery was completed.
- floating By “floating” is meant that the plug can be pivoted when inserting the battery.
- the surface of the frame for "oblique" is the reference surface, or "straight” is preferably defined as a 90 degree angle between the bearing surface flange and plug collar, while the connector collar at a non-assembled battery by the sprung storage by 10 Grad is tilted.
- the straight position is reached, in which case the springs are then loaded on pressure.
- the angle in the size of 10 degrees can vary depending on the installation situation by +/- 25%, preferably by +/- 10%.
- the plug-in connection according to the invention can also be used for other applications (for example electric vehicles, electrical appliances and the like) in which an energy store is to be connected to a drive unit via a plug connection and the energy store is brought into its installation position via a swiveling operation while doing a contact via the connector takes place.
- Figure 1 shows in several views a connector 1, which is assembled from two connectors (chassis socket 2 and 3 plugs).
- the male connector 3 is mounted in a flange 4, wherein between the flange 4 and the male connector 3, a connector carrier 5 is arranged.
- the built-in plug 3 is preferably fixed in position in the plug carrier 5, whereas the plug carrier 5 is movable, in particular pivotable, mounted in the flange 4.
- the one embodiment of a development of the invention is shown, namely that the built-in plug 3 is fixed in position in the plug carrier 5, whereas the plug carrier 5 is movable, in particular strig pivotally mounted in the flange 4.
- the built-in plug 3 movable, in particular 29 pivoted, arranged in the plug carrier 5, whereas the plug carrier 5 is fixed in position in the flange 4 is mounted.
- the mounting socket 2 can be plugged, including these two connectors 2, 3 mutually corresponding mating faces and plug geometries.
- FIG 2 various views of the panel socket 2 are shown, which is suitable and adapted to be plugged onto the corresponding part of the connector plug 3 in order to realize the connector 1.
- This socket 2 is either stationary or via cable 6 with the energy storage, not shown here, in particular a battery connected.
- the mounting socket 2 is fixed in position relative to the energy store, i. H. is not movable and is handled together with the energy storage.
- the built-in socket 2 is suitable and designed to be plugged with movement, in particular with a pivoting movement of the battery to the mounting plug 3.
- FIG. 3 shows, in various views, the unit consisting of built-in plug 3, flange 4 and plug carrier 5 (and optionally the cable 6).
- the built-in connector 3 in the connector support 5 is stationary and immovable, whereas the connector support 5 movable, in particular 29 pivoted in the Flange 4 is arranged.
- the flange 4 is stationary, for example in the frame of the electric bicycle, mounted at a suitable location, for example screwed.
- the built-in plug 3 can move together with the plug carrier 5 in the flange 4, in particular can be pivoted.
- This pivoting is for example in a comparison of the left and middle or the left and right representation in Figure 1 very well visible. There, a pivoting is shown by 10 °, with angles or other directions of movement greater or less than 10 ° are possible.
- the plug 3 is arranged in the flange 4 via the plug carrier 5, it is also conceivable for the plug 3 to be arranged directly in the flange 4, omitting the plug carrier 5.
- the flange 4 has for receiving the plug 3 directly for receiving the plug connector 3 or for receiving the plug carrier 5 on a receiving area, on the outer contour of which it can be arranged at a suitable location, for example in the frame of the electric vehicle, in particular the electric bicycle.
- this receiving portion has a peripheral protruding frame, which is provided for example with openings through which fastening means, such as screws, rivets or the like, can be performed to arrange the flange 4 at its installation location and set in its installed position.
