Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical angle plug connector for attachment to a unit housing, with an angled plug housing and a flange base, the plug housing having a connecting leg for an electrical plug connector and a connecting leg for the flange base, and the flange base has a fastening flange for the unit housing and a receiving sleeve for the connecting leg , and the connecting leg penetrates at least the receiving sleeve, protrudes with a free end-side leg section over the fastening flange and is rotatably fixed to the flange base in the circumferential direction, and wherein at least one annular seal is arranged between the receiving sleeve and the connecting leg and an annular sealing element is arranged on the front side of the fastening flange is attached to a plant side assigned to the unit housing.
  • the EP 3 089 284 A1 discloses a generic angled connector with an angled connector housing and with a flange sleeve, the connector housing in the area of a first connector housing section, with the flange sleeve being fastened to the first connector housing section by means of an axial holding device acting in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the first connector housing section, and with the axial holding device having a radial stop which extends from an inside of the flange sleeve in the direction an outer side of the first connector housing section and has a counter bearing which is in operative connection with the first connector housing section to define the axial position relative to one another.
  • the axial holding device has a spring element which is arranged in an intermediate space between the inside of the flange sleeve and an outside of the first connector housing section and generates an axial spring force, the counter bearing having a locking ring which is fitted with a locking device in a locking groove on the outside of the first connector housing section is locked.
  • a sealing ring preferably an O-ring, is arranged in the intermediate space, which seals the annular gap between the inside of the flange sleeve and the outside of the first connector housing section.
  • the flanged sleeve has a rearwardly open receiving groove for a seal at a rear end of the angle plug, the receiving groove being delimited by a radially inner groove web which is designed to be axially flush with the inner side of the flanged sleeve delimiting the intermediate space.
  • the connector housing and the flange sleeve are usually made of metal.
  • the angle connector is used, for example, as a connection connector for electric motors and is flanged to the motor housing. Twisting the angled connector housing when attaching it to the motor housing or due to vibrations during operation of the motor can lead to metallic abrasion, which can penetrate directly into the interior of the motor and lead to malfunctions of the motor or cause motor damage. This is considered to be disadvantageous in the prior art cited above.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing a possibility with which the penetration of metallic abrasion from the overlapping area of the connector housing and the flange sleeve into the motor interior, i.e. the unit housing.
  • the solution should be simple, inexpensive and wear-resistant.
  • the annular sealing element which is attached to the front of the fastening flange on a contact side assigned to the unit housing, is produced as a molded seal from at least one elastic material and has an axial pressing section and a radial pressing section, with the axial pressing section a seal between the mounting flange and the unit housing and the radial pressing section causes a seal between the mounting flange and the end leg section of the connecting leg when the angle connector is connected to the unit housing via the flange base, for example screwed.
  • the radial pressing section is closer to an axially extending central axis of the connecting leg and the flange base than the axial pressing section and preferably directly adjoins it.
  • the axial pressing section and the radial pressing section are each formed by an annular partial area of the molded seal. These two sections can consist of an elastically deformable material or of different materials of this type.
  • the angle connector has an angled plug housing and a flange base, the plug housing having a connection leg for an electrical plug connector and a connecting leg for the flange base and the flange base a fastening flange for the assembly housing and a receiving sleeve for the connecting leg.
  • An insulating contact carrier with electrical plug-in contacts which can be in the form of plug-in pins or sockets, is arranged in the connecting leg.
  • the connecting leg of the plug housing passes through at least the receiving sleeve of the flange base, preferably protrudes with a free end-side leg section beyond the fastening flange and is rotatably fixed in the circumferential direction on the flange base, with at least one ring-shaped seal being arranged between the receiving sleeve and the connecting leg.
  • the axial pressing section of the ring-shaped sealing element formed by the molded seal is designed higher in the axial direction of the molded seal than the radial pressing section and is therefore less flexible than the radial pressing section.
  • the radial pressing section is preferably of lamellar design and has a circumferential sealing lip extending radially inwards away from the axial pressing section.
  • the radial pressing section is similarly dimensionally stable in the radial direction of the molded seal as the axial pressing section in the axial direction of the molded seal.
  • the sealing lip is arranged on an inner edge of the radial pressing section and extends in the circumferential direction along the radial pressing section.
  • the fastening flange has a circumferential annular groove on the contact side for receiving the molded seal.
  • the axial pressing section of the shaped seal has at least two radially outwardly protruding retaining wings and the annular groove preferably has lateral, radially extending extensions for receiving the retaining wings of the shaped seal.
  • the end leg section of the connecting leg of the plug housing has a circumferential annular recess, with preferably at least the sealing lip of the radial pressing section of the molded seal in the annular recess of the connecting leg engages and is ideally in contact with the base of the annular recess.
  • the lamellar radial pressing section and/or the sealing lip of the radial pressing section thus seal a cylindrical gap between an inside of the receiving sleeve and an outside of the connecting leg of the plug housing both radially and axially, so that no unwanted abrasion can get into the assembly housing.
  • the molded seal which is attached to the face of the attachment flange on the contact side assigned to the unit housing, is preferably arranged captively there.
  • the circumferential annular groove provided on the contact side for receiving the molded seal is adapted to the geometry and dimensions of the molded seal in such a way that there is a slight press fit.
  • the ring-shaped radial pressing section of the molded seal in particular its sealing lip, engages in the annular recess of the connecting leg and prevents the molded seal from being unintentionally released from the fastening flange until the angle connector is installed on a unit housing.
  • the optionally provided retaining wings of the shaped seal which are arranged on the axial pressing section, in conjunction with the lateral extensions of the annular groove in which the shaped seal lies, can provide additional support for the shaped seal. All of these measures ensure that the molded seal does not come loose from the contact side of the mounting flange.
  • the figure 2 shows the angle connector 1 described above in a longitudinal section. It can be seen here that the connecting leg 5 passes through the receiving sleeve 7 and the fastening flange 6, with a free end-side leg section 8 of the connecting leg 5 protruding beyond the fastening flange 6, and the flange base 3 and the plug housing 3 being held together by a spring ring 9.
  • An annular seal 10 is arranged between the receiving sleeve 7 and the connecting leg 5 .
  • an annular sealing element 11 is attached to the front side of the fastening flange 6 on a contact side 12 assigned to the unit housing.
  • the figure 3 shows the flange base 3 with the sealing element 11 arranged thereon in an enlarged view.
  • the sealing element 11 is designed as an annular molded seal 11' with an axial pressing section 13 and a radial pressing section 14, with the axial pressing section 13 forming a seal between the fastening flange 6 and the unit housing and the radial pressing section 14 forming a seal between the fastening flange 6 and the end leg section 8 of the connecting leg 5 causes.
  • the axial pressing section 13 is formed higher in the axial direction than the radial pressing section 14 , which tapers conically in the direction of the leg section 8 .
  • the radial pressing portion 14 is thus formed in a lamellar shape.
  • the fastening flange 6 has a circumferential annular groove 15 for receiving the molded seal 11'.
  • the axial pressing section 13 projects in the axial direction over the annular groove 15 and thus over the contact side 12
  • the radial pressing section 14 of the molded seal 11 ′ projects in the radial direction over the annular groove 15 .
  • the end leg section 8 of the connecting leg 5 has a peripheral annular recess 16 .
  • the radial pressing section 14 of the molded seal 11' engages in this annular recess 16.
  • the figure 4 shows the sealing element 11 or the molded seal 11' in a perspective view. These are ring-shaped.
  • the axial pressing section 13 and the radial pressing section 14 are ring-shaped, with the axial pressing section 13 enclosing the radial pressing section 14 in the radial direction, adjoining it and being formed integrally with the radial pressing section 14 .
  • the radial pressing section 14 has a circumferential sealing lip 17 which extends radially inwards away from the radial pressing section 14 and also away from the axial pressing section 13 .
  • the axial pressing section 13 has two radially outwards protruding retaining wings 18, the annular groove 15 having two lateral projections 19 for receiving the retaining wings 18 of the molded seal 11' is formed.
  • the sealing lip 17 engages like that figure 3 illustrated, in the annular recess 16 of the end leg portion 8 of the connecting leg 5, wherein the sealing lip 17 on the base 16 of the annular recess 16 is in contact.
