Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical contact coupling for a track-guided vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle.
- electrical contact couplings are generally used to transmit control signals and to transmit power between two adjacent car bodies of a multi-car vehicle.
- the arrangement, control and size of the electrical contact couplings used depend on the space available in the vehicle and the number of signals to be transmitted as well as the requirements of the wagon builder or the railway operator.
- electrical contact couplings are designed in such a way that the coupling and decoupling of two electrical contact couplings can take place automatically.
- the electrical contact couplings arranged on the vehicles or car bodies to be coupled with one another are precisely brought together with the aid of centering devices and then pressed together with sealing surfaces provided on the front side of the electrical contact couplings in such a way that reliable sealing against the environment is achieved.
- a protective flap usually covers the front of the electrical contact coupling to protect the coupling elements or possibly live contact elements or mating contact elements of the electrical contact coupling against contact and dirt.
- the electron contact coupling is usually located on the top or on the side of the coupling head of a mechanical coupling and consists of a housing, usually with a protective flap and a contact carrier with contacts (pin contacts) in front for the transmission of electrical signals, for example.
- the publication DE 20 05 243 A relates to an electrical coupling that automatically produces the electrical connections between rail vehicles on a mechanical coupling, which have couplings for the traction power line as well as for a high-voltage bus line and for other lines at relatively low voltages, the coupling of the collector line is protected against flashovers to other lines.
- the publication US 2020/0207383 A1 relates to a train coupling connection module for electrically coupling a first rail vehicle to a second rail vehicle.
- the train coupler connection module has a mounting block with an interior that is attachable to an electric train coupler.
- the train coupler connection module further includes a plurality of contact units arranged side-by-side in the mounting block, each contact unit having a first end facing inward of the mounting block and a second end extending outwardly from the mounting block.
- One of the first and second ends is a socket contact while the other end is a plug contact.
- At least one of the contact units is arranged to be individually removable from the mounting block in a direction outward from the mounting block.
- FIG. 1A through FIG. 1C an electrical contact coupling 100 known from the prior art is shown as an example, specifically in its open state, so that the contact carrier 102 with the pin contacts 103 is exposed.
- the housing 101 of the electrical contact coupling 100 has an at least substantially rectangular cross section, with guides 105 and front centering elements 106 being located on the outside facing the coupling head.
- the front of the housing 101 of the electrical contact coupling 100 is sealed with the contact carrier 102 .
- the contact carrier 102 is enclosed at the front by a profile seal.
- bores are arranged in which terminal bolts are seated, the pin contacts 103 being screwed into the terminal bolts at the front.
- the back of the housing 101 is sealed with a lid.
- the cable glands and the drive lug are located in the cover.
- the protective flap 104 of the electrical contact coupling 100 with which the pin contacts 103 on the contact carrier 102 can be protected as required, is arranged in the front area of the housing 101 of the electronic contact coupling 100 in a pivotably mounted manner. In the uncoupled position, the protective flap 104 protects the contacts 103 from dirt, water and mechanical damage and prevents people from accidentally touching them.
- the electronic contact couplings 100 to be coupled are shifted forward relative to the mechanical coupling into the common coupling plane.
- the centering elements 106 of the opposing housings 101 of the electrical contact couplings 100 slide into one another and align the housings 101 with one another.
- the corresponding contacts 103 of the electrical contact couplings 100 meet with a precise fit and the sealing frames are pressed against one another.
- each electrical contact coupling is usually provided with a corresponding mechanism so that the flap is automatically opened or closed during coupling and uncoupling.
- the contacts 103 mounted on the contact carrier 102 form an almost mirror-symmetrical contact arrangement with respect to a central axis of symmetry, which divides the contact carrier 102 into two halves.
- the contacts 103 arranged in the left half of the contact carrier 102 are designed as plug contacts, for example, while the contacts 103 arranged in the right half of the contact carrier 102 are designed as socket contacts.
- This mirror-symmetrical contact arrangement takes into account the fact that the electrical contact coupling 100 should enable coupling in opposite directions.
- a conventional electrical contact coupling of the type shown in FIG. 1A through FIG. 1C always represents a customer-specific structural unit. This means that, depending on the customer requirements, the electrical contact coupling must be redesigned and manufactured on a project-specific basis. Since each electrical contact coupling is unique, there are long delivery times. These are due in particular to a large number of interaction loops in the mechanical and electrical coordination and the complex approval procedure.
- the customer e.g. a vehicle manufacturer, also requires complex project planning and complex change management. In addition, high demands are placed on the documentation.
- Each clutch housing has a contact carrier that is firmly connected to the clutch housing.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying an electrical contact coupling for track-guided vehicles, which enables a reduction in the design and manufacturing complexity.
- the invention relates in particular to an electrical contact coupling for track-guided vehicles, the electrical contact coupling having a coupling housing with a housing opening formed in a housing end face and a contact carrier structure which is accommodated in an exchangeable manner in the housing opening and is designed to accommodate a large number of contacts and/or complementary contacts.
- the contact carrier structure has a modular design and has a multiplicity of contact carrier inserts which are connected to one another in a form-fitting and, in particular, detachable manner.
- the electrical contact coupling according to the invention enables a considerable reduction in the design and production costs and at the same time ensures that the customer still retains the required functionality and flexibility.
- the invention is based on an extensive and precise analysis of the signals preferably transmitted in the present technical field.
- this analysis forms the basis for the modularization of the electrical contact coupling system that can be realized by the present invention.
- the invention is characterized not only by the fact that the contact carrier structure of the electrical contact coupling is modular and has a large number of contact carrier inserts. Rather, a further essential aspect of the present invention can be seen in the fact that the contact carrier inserts of the contact carrier structure are connected to one another in a form-fitting and, in particular, detachable manner.
- Such a form-fitting connection of the individual contact carrier inserts makes it possible to design the contact carrier structure separately from the electrical contact coupling, i.e. to assemble it in a form-fitting manner by selecting appropriate contact carrier inserts, in which case this contact carrier structure composed of the individual contact carrier inserts and in particular plugged together with the coupling housing or in the coupling housing of the electrical contact coupling can be connected or arranged.
- each contact carrier insert of the contact carrier structure has at least one connection partner on its side pointing in the direction of an adjacent contact carrier insert, which is designed to be complementary to an adjacent connection partner of the adjacent contact carrier insert.
- the connection partners of the contact carrier inserts that are adjacent to one another are in particular designed to form a form-fitting connection by interlocking.
- connection partners of the mutually adjacent contact carrier inserts are designed to form a plug-in connection between the adjacent contact carrier inserts.
- connection partners have a forked shape in cross section, as in the dovetail joint is the case.
- the connection partners have, for example, a configuration with a T-shaped cross section. In this way, in particular, a sliding guide allowing a translation perpendicular to the coupling direction can be formed between the contact carrier inserts.
- the contact carrier structure and the coupling housing and in particular the housing opening of the coupling housing are designed in such a way that the contact carrier structure can be inserted and in particular plugged into the housing opening, so that the contact carrier structure is then at least partially is preferably accommodated in a form-fitting manner in the clutch housing.
- the at least one stop is preferably connected by an edge or rim area running around an end area of the contact carrier structure pointing in the coupling direction and by an edge or rim area running around an end area of the coupling housing pointing in the coupling direction and towards the edge or rim area at least is formed in regions complementarily executed groove area.
- the at least one stop is preferably connected by an edge or rim area running around an end area of the contact carrier structure pointing in the coupling direction and by an edge or rim area running around an end area of the coupling housing pointing in the coupling direction and towards the edge or rim area at least is formed in regions complementarily executed groove area.
- other embodiments are also possible.
- the electrical contact coupling also has a holding frame which at least partially encloses the housing opening of the coupling housing.
- the holding frame is preferably detachable while simultaneously clamping the peripheral edge or rim area of the contact carrier structure and in particular via a screw connection or, if necessary, via a latching connection. tion connected or connectable to the end face of the clutch housing, so that in this way the contact carrier structure can be fixed in its inserted or plugged into the housing opening state.
- This embodiment represents a particularly easy-to-implement, but nevertheless effective way in which the contact carrier structure with the individual contact carrier inserts can be securely fixed in or on the housing end face of the coupling housing in the simplest possible way.
- each contact carrier insert has at least one and preferably a large number of bores for accommodating contacts and/or complementary contacts, in particular in the form of standard contacts and/or data bus contacts. It is conceivable in this context, for example, for the contacts or complementary contacts to be inserted into the corresponding bores, so that at least one area of the contacts or complementary contacts protrudes beyond the clutch-side end face of the contact carrier insert.
- the bores can be provided with a corresponding internal thread, in which case the contacts or complementary contacts can then be screwed onto the contact carrier insert.
- a rear area of the coupling housing opposite the front face of the housing is preferably designed as an interface area in order to occupy the contacts and/or complementary contacts accommodated by the contact carrier structure as required.
- the contacts and/or complementary contacts can be accommodated by the contact carrier structure in such a way that they are freely accessible from the rear side of the contact carrier structure pointing in the direction of the interface area of the coupling housing.
- the contact carrier structure has a total of n contact carrier inserts, where n is an odd natural number greater than 1.

- the electrical contact coupling also has a protective flap, which is preferably articulated on the coupling housing in such a way that the protective flap moves about a particularly defined axis of rotation from a first position, in which the housing opening is covered, to a second position, in which the housing opening is covered exposed, is pivotable relative to the clutch housing.

- the electrical contact coupling has a centering device for the self-centering of two electrical contact couplings to be coupled with one another, the centering device having in particular two centering elements which come into contact with the complementary centering device of the mating electrical contact coupling during the coupling process.
- the centering elements of the centering device can be formed from a centering pin fastened to the clutch housing and a centering bushing arranged symmetrically to the mirror axis.
- the contacts received or that can be accommodated by the contact carrier structure are designed in particular as plugs and the complementary contacts that are received or that can be accommodated in the contact carrier structure are designed in particular as sockets.
