Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spring sleeve, a shield sleeve for contacting shielding elements between lines and connectors, having a spring area with at least one spring element and a sleeve area with a cylindrical and at least regional circumferential extension.
  • Contacts in general have at least one electrically conductive contact section for detachable, temporary or plug-in connection with a corresponding mating contact element and a shaft section adjoining the contact section for fastening an electrical line to the contact.
  • Such a contact, plug contact, high-current contact can be implemented in a wide variety of applications, for example for circuit board contacting, in vehicle wiring harness arrangements, on or in a charging plug or a charging socket, for example for charging an electrically powered vehicle, etc.
  • EMC electromagnetic compatibility
  • Electromagnetic compatibility means the (largely) lack of effects on other devices and facilities that could lead to unwanted or intentional malfunctions in electrical or electronic equipment due to e.g. B. electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic fields and processes. This already includes influences from currents or voltages.
  • the European EMC Directive defines electromagnetic compatibility as follows: "the ability of an apparatus, installation or system to work satisfactorily in the electromagnetic environment, without causing electromagnetic interference itself, which would be unacceptable for all apparatus, systems or systems in this environment. "(Source: EU Directive 2014/30 / EU Article 3 No. 4 of 02.26.2014).
  • Electromagnetically relevant interference emissions can also come from plugs, plug connections, contacts and cables, as these are live. Apparatus, devices, lines and connectors are often shielded to ensure electromagnetic compatibility. The shielding of electrotechnical devices, facilities and rooms is used to keep electrical and / or magnetic fields away from them or, conversely, to protect the environment from the fields emanating from the facility.
  • the shielding devices of cables In the area of plug-in connectors, plug-in contacts and contacts, the shielding devices of cables must be continued without gaps and interruptions in order to ensure that electromagnetic emissions are reduced or prevented.
  • a coupling impedance between the inner, current-carrying conductor (core, stranded wire) and the outer cable shield (outer conductor, cable shield) is implemented based on the mode of operation of the Faraday cage.
  • the connectors must be adequately shielded to improve electromagnetic compatibility.
  • electrical connectors are usually encapsulated with an electrically conductive sheath or a metallic braid is inserted.
  • the WO 2007/107196 A1 shows a solution in which the outer surface of the contact chamber is completely coated with a thin, electrically conductive layer.
  • the layer thickness is small in relation to the thickness of the contact chamber walls.
  • the abutment surfaces on the outside of the contact chamber are shielded with an overlap wall section which is also conductively coated on its side facing the abutment surfaces, preferably with the same layer as the outer surface of the contact chamber.
  • Metallization is preferably provided as the conductive layer.
  • the overlapping wall section represents a kind of labyrinth for electromagnetic radiation.
  • the electrically conductive coated outer surface of the contact chamber also has the function of passing on the shielding from a connection cable connected to the electrical connector to an interface to an application connected by means of the connector.
  • a sleeve which is resilient in the radial direction and presses the shielding, outer conductor of the connection cable radially inward onto the outer surface of a conductive collar section can also be used for shielding. It is important that the sleeve has a resilient effect and thus the pressing force radially inward from tabs spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The tabs press the shielding of the connection cable onto the outside of the collar section.
  • a spring sleeve can be provided with which the shielding is passed on to the interface of the application.
  • the spring sleeve is pulled over a neck of the contact chamber and is designed in such a way that it springs both radially inwards and radially outwards.
  • tabs that are resilient in the radial direction are provided on the inner circumference and on the outer circumference of the spring sleeve.
  • the spring sleeve also fulfills the function of tolerance compensation in the interface to the application due to the resilient tabs provided on the outer circumference.
  • the spring sleeve In the assembled state, the spring sleeve is arranged concentrically to the longitudinal center axis of the socket-like contact.
  • a shielded connector assembly is also in the DE 101 40 685 C1 disclosed. Shown is a line connection with an inserted plug-in coupling, one coupling part having a protective sleeve and the other coupling part having two guide sleeves and a cable entry that are coaxially aligned with one another.
  • the components are connected to one another both electrically and in terms of fluid technology via fluid seals and subsequent electrical contacts at their junctions.
  • the DE 197 37 321 C2 discloses a single-pole load connector combination with an add-on plug and a loose plug, each of which has a housing made of aluminum, a front end section of the add-on plug being insertable coaxially into a socket section of the loose plug.
  • An insulating plug insert which receives a contact element connected to a connection cable, is arranged in each of the add-on plug and the loose plug.
  • the attachment plug and the loose plug each have a shielding sheath of the respective connection cable in the form of a hose spring, which establish a conductive connection between the shielding sheath and a screw-in socket screwed into the housing.
  • Another hose spring is inserted into the front socket section of the loose connector, which forms an effectively closed shielding of the connector combination when the connectors are plugged into one another.
  • a high-frequency connector for symmetrical, shielded cables is used in the DD 282 783 A5 presented.
  • the connector components have a first and a second one with a continuous longitudinal slot and a spring sleeve, each provided with a circumferential projection at the front ends of its inner wall, with its one projection into the circumferential groove of the first and second insulating part and with its other projection behind a first or second insulating part.
  • the second flange with a pipe socket carrying an external thread engages that the first and second metal cylinders are seated on the first and second spring sleeves and each strike with their circular end face pointing against the insertion direction on one end of the first or second spring sleeve and that one in each case Nut on the external thread of the pipe socket holds the first or second metal cylinder without play and the clamping sleeve arranged on the first metal cylinder with axial play.
  • a socket with a shoulder pointing against the plug-in direction sits on the outer braided shield of a symmetrical, shielded cable to be connected to the HF connector and is received in the interior of a cylindrical shank adjoining the pipe socket in such a way that the outer wall of the socket and the inner wall of the cylindrical shank are The turned-back end of the shielding braid pointing against the plug-in direction is located and the cylindrical shaft, the turned-back end of the shielding braid and the braided shield of the cable / socket are squeezed together.
  • the spring sleeves, shield sleeves, shield springs available in the prior art have different disadvantages depending on the embodiment. Many solutions are complex, cost-disadvantageous and cannot be produced efficiently due to their multi-part and / or geometric design. If clamping functions are implemented integratively with the spring sleeves, shield sleeves, shield springs, the fatigue strength requirements are often not met. With known solutions there is also the risk that electrical resistance properties lead to increased power losses.
  • the invention proposes a shield spring, the spring area of which is geometrically formed by a plurality of roof-shaped spring elements, spring lamellae.
  • the shield spring is supplemented by a sleeve-shaped section which, in a variant of the invention, forms a triangular arrangement in some areas with the roof-shaped spring lamellae.
  • the increased contact pressure of the spring lamella on the housing of the plug connection or the contacting partner of the shielding results in a lower electrical resistance in the contacting area because possible surface contaminants, oxide layers are practically penetrated, rubbed through, for example aluminum oxide.

At least one segment 22, preferably a plurality of segments 22, is formed in the cylindrical area of the sleeve section 20 by deformation, reshaping of the preferably flat starting material. In the example shown, segments 22 are present on the entire circumference of the sleeve section 20.

  • the at least one spring element 13 of this first exemplary embodiment is formed by a first and at least one second leg, spring leg 12.
  • the first and the at least one second leg 12 are arranged with respect to one another in such a way that a roof-shaped geometry is formed.
  • the roof-shaped and / or triangular shape in the spring area prevents or minimizes creep processes and relaxation of the spring, with the result that the fatigue strength is increased and / or the spring force and contact pressure of the contact points is largely constant over the long term.
  • a rounding, edging 11 can be formed at the end of a leg 12.
  • the rounding 11 enables, better than a blunt outlet of the leg 12, the sliding relative movement on the respective contact surface in the event of deformation of the spring element 13 and / or the support of the spring element 13 via the contact contact point of the rounding, edging 11 on the respective contact surface, which is in the The embodiment shown is the outer surface of the sleeve area.
  • Figure 3 comprises the sectional view of the front view of the first exemplary embodiment of the spring sleeve 1 according to the invention within an assembled and plugged connector.
  • the shielding sleeve 1 is pushed onto the line 200 and comprises a section of the outer insulation 204.
  • the bevel 21 resting on the end face of the outer insulation 204 defines or fixes the axial position of the spring sleeve 1 in the pushing-on direction.
  • the cylinder-like outer surface of the sleeve section 20 is in electrically conductive contact with the line shielding 203 at least in some areas.
  • the line shielding 203 is exposed and turned over by previously removing an area of the outer insulation 204.
  • the spring element area 10 of the shielding sleeve 1 is at least partially and elastically and possibly also plastically deformed in the radial direction by a compression section, so that a contacting force is exerted on the contact partner - here the inner housing surface of the connector plug - due to the elastic restoring properties of the spring element area 10.
  • the at least one spring element 13 of the spring area 10 rests with its rounded end 11 on the outer surface of the sleeve area 20 and is supported on it in this way.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the perspective view of a second embodiment of the spring sleeve 1 according to the invention with a spring area, spring element area 10 and a sleeve area 20.
  • the idea of the invention is implemented here by a plurality of roof-shaped spring lamellae, spring elements 13, which are formed in an axially continuous extension on the sleeve area 20.
  • a triangular geometric situation of the spring elements 13 of the spring area 10 is achieved in the assembled state through the interaction with the outer insulation 204 of the electrically conductive cable 200 by applying the spring lamellae 13 to the outer insulation 204.
  • the contact is realized by contact surfaces at the end of the spring lamellae 13 over the respective rounded curvature, edging 11.
  • the triangular geometric situation of the spring element area 10 in the assembled state is shown Figure 5 .
  • the illustrated sectional view of the front view of the second exemplary embodiment of the spring sleeve 1 according to the invention within an assembled and plugged connector uses the advantages of the invention described above through the triangular geometric situation of the spring element area 10.

  • the end side of the spring elements 13 is geometrically changed here.
  • a rounding, edging 11 can be formed which, in contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, is directed in the direction of the inside of the spring sleeve 1.
  • the contact surface is achieved by an end-side spring element region which is largely parallel or plane-parallel to the contact surface on the sleeve region 20.
  • this enables the sliding relative movement on the respective contact surface in the event of deformations of the spring element 13 better than a blunt run-out of the leg 12.
  • Figure 7 shows the sectional view of the front view of the third embodiment of the spring sleeve 1 according to the invention Figure 6 with a spring area, spring element area 10 and a sleeve area 20.
  • the at least one spring element 13 of the third embodiment is also formed here by a first and at least one second leg, spring leg 12.

  • the spring characteristic curve in the direction of a flatter spring characteristic curve compared to a spring lamella 13 with a roof tip according to the second embodiment, as in FIG Figure 4 and 5 shown is modified.
  • the flatter spring characteristic results in a greater spring deflection with the same force effect compared to a spring lamella 13 with a roof top. This is the result of the reduced flexural rigidity of the spring lamella 13 and / or the changed force application point, implemented on the bulge 14 as a result of the length ratios of the legs 12.
  • a triangular geometric situation of the spring elements 13 of the spring area 10 with flattening 15 is also achieved with the fourth exemplary embodiment in the assembled state by interacting with the outer insulation 204 of the electrically conductive cable 200 by placing the spring lamellae 13 on the outer insulation 204 the contact surfaces at the end of the spring lamellae 13 over the rounded curvature, edging 11.

  • the geometric design shown has a longer leg 12 between the sleeve area 20 and the flat 15 than the length of the leg 12 between the flat 15 and the round 11. This results in a flat spring characteristic, ie the elasticity, deformability is increased and the spring travel is in comparison with the formation of a roof peak with the same resulting force acting radially to the spring sleeve 1 increased.
