Definitions

  • the invention relates to a holding frame for a connector for receiving similar and/or different modules, with a base section for fixing a received module in a plane and a deformation section which can assume an insertion state and a holding state, wherein the insertion state allows at least one module to be inserted into the holding frame in a direction transverse to the plane and a received module is fixed in the holding state.
  • the invention relates to a method for producing a holding frame for a connector for receiving similar and/or different modules, with a base section for fixing a received module in a plane and a deformation section which can assume an insertion state and a holding state, wherein the insertion state allows at least one module to be inserted into the holding frame in a direction transverse to the plane and a received module is fixed in the holding state.
  • Such holding frames are required to accommodate several similar and/or different modules.
  • modules can be, for example, insulating bodies that serve as contact carriers for electronic and electrical and possibly are also intended for optical and/or pneumatic contacts. It is particularly important that the holding frame enables proper protective earthing in accordance with the connector standard EN61984, for example for inserting the holding frame equipped with modules into metal connector housings.
  • An electrical-fiber-optic connector assembly comprises a dielectric shell having a receptacle for receiving a connector in a position for mating with a complementary connector device.
  • a metal latch is secured to the dielectric shell and is engageable with a complementary latch on the connector to automatically lock the connector in the receptacle when the connector is positioned therein in an engagement direction.
  • An anti-overload stop overlies the metal latch in spaced relation thereto to limit the metal latch's movement into and out of engagement with the complementary latch to prevent overloading of the metal latch.
  • a rib and slot engagement is provided between the connector and the cover to prevent rotation of the connector about an axis perpendicular to the mating direction of the connector to provide further overload protection for the metal latch.
  • DE 27 36 079 A1 discloses a modular terminal block that can be snapped onto rails.
  • Several of the blocks can be connected in a row by interlocking the sides.
  • Each module is made of rigid insulating material with slots or raised areas on the sides and cutouts for clipping onto mounting rails.
  • the mounting rail is U-shaped and each block contains spring-loaded contact clips.
  • Each contact bracket has two prongs whose free ends are bent at 90°. The upright sections of the free ends are in turn split in two and engage in slots in the block.
  • the prongs, which run parallel to the base, are connected at the front end with a projection on the inside, which engages in another recess.
  • EP 0 183 587 A1 discloses a multi-contact electrical connector element comprising a hollow housing with at least one cavity for receiving an insulating block, the or each of the blocks having a plurality of through-holes or cells intended for the attachment of contacts which are immobilized in the cells, the connector element further comprising locking means which can cooperate with locking means of a complementary connector element.
  • Each insulating block is fixed in the corresponding cavity of the housing by two elastic clips with a substantially U-shaped cross-section, the web of which has means for hooking onto a narrow side wall of the cavity of the housing and elastic means for bearing on the narrow side wall opposite the insulating block, each of the legs of the clip being arranged to elastically bear against one of the broad side walls of the insulating block, each of the legs of the clip being further arranged such that its free end surface elastically bears against a peeling bearing surface of the corresponding broad side wall of the cavity of the housing.
  • US 4,032,209 relates to a multiple plug assembly for electrical components.
  • a rail has spaced arms, each of which holds a plurality of clips, each clip being located at a respective station. Thus, there is a pair of clips at each station.
  • the multiple plug assembly can be mounted between the arms at each station or at adjacent stations.
  • An electrical component such as a relay, can be plugged into each plug unit. and, when plugged in, is engaged by the clips that hold the component and power strip together and the combination of the two is locked into the station(s) with the rail.
  • DE 29 812 500 U1 discloses a modular connector with a support frame which has longitudinal frame strips and contains a plurality of modules which are each supported on a first longitudinal edge of the frame strips, wherein independent locking elements are provided which can be mounted on the modules in a latching or clamping manner and block them on a second longitudinal edge opposite the first longitudinal edge.
  • CN 203277786 U discloses a frame structure for fixing modules, the frame structure comprising a frame body and side sliding frames, the frame body and the side sliding frames enclosing a spatial structure for receiving one or more modules, the frame body and the sliding frames each being provided with a plurality of adapted grooves, and a positioning projection corresponding to one of the grooves being provided on the sides of each module, so that when the side sliding frames are closed and locked, the positioning projections of the module are clamped in the closed grooves formed by the interaction of the frame body and the sliding frames. After releasing the sliding frames, the modules can be easily inserted and then the sliding frames are closed, which enables modules to be fixed.
  • the advantages of the utility model are that it facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the modules and that the modules are stably fixed.
  • a holding frame for holding connector modules and for installation in connector housings or for screwing to wall surfaces is known, whereby the Connector modules are inserted into the holding frame and holding means on the connector modules interact with recesses provided on opposite wall parts (side parts) of the holding frame, wherein the recesses are designed as openings closed on all sides in the side parts of the holding frame, wherein the holding frame consists of two hingedly connected halves, the separation of the holding frame being provided transversely to the side parts of the frame, and joints being arranged in the fastening ends of the holding frame in such a way that when the holding frame is screwed onto a fastening surface, the frame parts are aligned in such a way that the side parts of the holding frame are aligned at right angles to the fastening surface and the connector modules have a positive connection with the holding frame via the holding means.
  • such holding frames are usually manufactured using a die-casting process, in particular using a zinc die-casting process.
  • EP 2 581 991 A1 discloses a holding frame for connector modules, which has two frame halves which can be locked together by linearly displacing one frame half relative to the other frame half in a sliding direction, wherein locking means corresponding to one another are provided on the frame halves, which, during linear displacement, cause the two frame halves to lock together in two different locking positions in which the frame halves are spaced apart from one another at different distances.
  • such holding frames require complex operation during assembly.
  • such holding frames must be unscrewed and/or unlocked from the connector as soon as even a single module is to be replaced.
  • the other modules that were not intended to be removed may also fall out of the holding frame and must then be reinserted before screwing and/or locking the frame halves together.
  • all modules must be in the position intended for them at the same time before the frame halves are joined together in order to be finally fixed in the holding frame when the frame halves are joined together, which makes assembly more difficult.
  • the publication EP 1 801 927 B1 discloses a holding frame that consists of a one-piece plastic injection molded part.
  • the holding frame is designed as a circumferential collar and has several wall segments separated by slots on its plug-in side. Two opposing wall segments each form an insertion area for a plug module, with the wall segments having window-like openings that serve to accommodate projections molded onto the narrow sides of the modules.
  • a guide groove is provided in each of the wall segments. The guide groove is formed above the openings by means of an outwardly offset window web that has an insertion bevel on the inside.
  • the plug-in modules have locking arms that are molded onto the narrow sides in the direction of the cable connections and lock below the side collar wall, so that two independent locking means fix the connector modules in the holding frame.
  • a disadvantage of this state of the art is that it is a plastic holding frame which is not suitable for protective earthing and therefore not suitable for installation in metal connector housings.
  • the use of metal connector housings requires such protective earthing and is necessary in many cases due to their mechanical robustness, temperature resistance and electrically shielding properties and is therefore desired by the customer.
  • the production of the aforementioned plastic holding frames using the injection molding process is at least difficult and can only be achieved with great effort.
  • the heat resistance of such a plastic holding frame is not always sufficient for special applications, for example near a blast furnace.
  • the plastic material and the shape, in particular the thickness of the holding frame are determined at the relevant points primarily by the requirements of flexibility and not by those of temperature resistance.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a design for a holding frame which, on the one hand, has good heat resistance and high mechanical robustness and which, in particular, also enables appropriate protective earthing, in particular a PE ("Protection Earth”), when installed in a metallic connector housing and which, on the other hand, also ensures convenient operability, in particular when replacing individual modules.
  • PE Protectection Earth
  • the object is achieved by a method according to claim 5.
  • Such a holding frame can be used in the field of heavy industrial connectors and is made of electrically conductive material. This enables protective earthing, which is achieved by the holding frame having a PE contact or at least being equipped with such a PE contact.
  • the holding frame has a base section and a deformation section, which are at least partially made of different materials.
  • the base section serves to fix a received module in a plane.
  • the deformation section can assume an insertion state and a holding state, wherein the insertion state allows at least one module to be inserted into the holding frame in a direction transverse to the plane, wherein a received module is fixed in the holding state.
  • the holding frame has a base frame as the base section and at least one, preferably two cheek parts as the deformation section.
  • the base frame is then made of a different material than the cheek parts and has less elasticity and thus greater rigidity than the cheek parts.
  • the deformation section in particular the cheek part or parts, can be made of a material that is more elastic according to its stress/strain diagram, i.e. has a smaller modulus of elasticity than the material from which the base section, in particular the base frame, is made.
  • the material of the base section can be stiffer than the material from which the deformation section is made.
  • the material of the base frame can have a modulus of elasticity according to its stress/strain diagram that is greater than the modulus of elasticity of the material from which the cheek parts are made.
  • the value of the modulus of elasticity is greater the more resistance a material offers to elastic deformation.
  • the material from which the deformation section is formed can, according to its stress/strain diagram, have a larger elastic range than the material from which the base section is formed.
  • the base section i.e. the base frame, is stiff, especially ideally considered rigid.
  • the deformation section in particular the cheek part or the cheek parts, is designed to be spring-elastic and consists of a spring-elastic sheet or has spring-elastic sheet.
  • a spring-elastic sheet is understood to be a sheet that has spring-elastic properties, such as reversible deformability, in particular when a corresponding restoring force is applied, for example a sheet that is made of spring steel or a comparable material.
  • One advantage of the invention is that the modules can be inserted into and removed from the holding frame individually and with very little effort, which makes manual assembly easier in particular.
  • the spring-elastic properties of the deformation section, in particular the cheek part or cheek parts allow modules to be inserted or removed individually with very little effort.
  • the base frame's rigidity ensures the necessary mechanical stability when holding the inserted modules.
  • a high temperature resistance compared for example with plastic, and also a particularly high mechanical robustness of the holding frame is ensured by the use of one or more metallic materials.
  • a further advantage of using one or more metallic materials is that the holding frame enables protective earthing for electrical safety, in particular a PE protective earthing of a metallic connector housing into which the holding frame is inserted.
  • This shielding can be protection against external interference fields.
  • it can also be shielding to prevent or reduce interference emissions, i.e. to protect the environment against interference fields from the connector. In other words, not only are the signals transmitted by the modules protected from external interference fields, but the environment is also protected from interference caused by a current flowing through the modules.
  • the holding frame is, on the one hand, particularly heat-resistant and, on the other hand, nevertheless, through the use of spring-elastic sheet metal, for example, it has a sufficiently high elasticity in the required places to allow the modules to be inserted into the module frame and removed again individually and with little effort. It is therefore of particular advantage if the holding frame has spring-elastic sheet metal in suitable places, because this makes it significantly more heat-resistant than a frame made of mechanically or functionally comparable plastic frame.
  • the associated modules can be designed to be compact so that they can still be made of plastic and are still relatively heat-resistant.
  • the holding frame has several different areas, for example a first and a second area, which have different elasticities compared to one another, because it can then specifically apply a higher section modulus in the area of the highest bending stress.
  • the first area corresponds to the base section.
  • the second area corresponds to the deformation section.
  • the second region in particular the deformation section, can therefore have a higher elasticity than the first region, which corresponds in particular to the base section.
  • the first region can thus, in reverse, have a greater rigidity than the second region.
  • the base section is designed to be rigid and the deformation section is designed to be spring-elastic.
  • Such elasticity or rigidity can, on the one hand, as already mentioned, be achieved by the material used in each case and/or, on the other hand, it can also be achieved by the geometric shape of these regions, in particular the base section and the deformation section.
  • the base section is made of a rigid material, for example a zinc alloy or an aluminum alloy or a copper alloy.
  • the deformation section is made of a spring-elastic material and can therefore consist of a spring-elastic steel sheet, for example.
  • the base section is at least partially manufactured using a die-casting process, for example using a zinc die-casting or aluminum die-casting process.
  • the first area, the base section is the surrounding base frame.
  • the base frame is therefore in particular a zinc die-cast part.
  • the base frame is essentially rectangular in cross-section, i.e. it has two end faces lying parallel to one another and two side parts lying parallel to one another at right angles to it, with the two end faces being shorter than the two side parts. Both the end faces and the side parts can have an essentially rectangular shape.
  • the deformation section is formed from at least one, preferably two, separate cheek parts, of which each cheek part preferably consists of a spring-elastic sheet metal part.
  • the two cheek parts can optionally consist of the same material, in particular of spring-elastic sheet metal, and also have the same thickness.
  • the preferably two cheek parts can be punched out of the same stamped sheet metal.
  • Each cheek part can be essentially flat and preferably have a rectangular basic shape. It therefore has two long edges lying opposite one another, namely a first and a second edge, and at right angles to this two short edges lying opposite one another, namely a third and a fourth edge.
  • the cheek part has, in particular, preferably straight slots that begin at regular intervals on its first edge and run preferably at right angles to this in the direction of the second edge into the cheek part, whereby free-standing tabs are formed in the cheek part.
  • a locking window can be arranged in each of these tabs as a locking element. These locking windows are provided to accommodate locking lugs of inserted modules in order to lock the modules in the holding frame.
  • each cheek part can have several fastening elements, in particular fastening recesses in a preferably round shape, for fastening to the base frame.
  • Each of the two cheek parts can advantageously be attached to the base frame on an outer side of one of the two side parts, so that two spring-elastic tabs of the two cheek parts are symmetrically opposite each other. Furthermore, these tabs can be bent slightly outwards towards their end, i.e. away from the base frame and thus from each other, in order to make it easier to insert a module.
  • the base frame can have fastening means, for example round fastening pins, on the corresponding side part, preferably on both side parts. These fastening means can engage in the fastening recesses of the associated cheek part and thus hold the cheek parts to the base frame, for example by locking and/or by a positive and non-positive connection.
  • the cheek parts can be attached to the base frame by gluing, welding, soldering, riveting and/or screwing or by any other type of fastening to the base frame.
  • the associated modules can be essentially cuboid-shaped and can have a width on two opposite end faces that corresponds to the width of a tab.
  • Each module advantageously has a locking lug on both of its end faces, which can also be essentially cuboid-shaped.
  • Each of the spring-elastic tabs of the holding frame advantageously has a locking window, which can be essentially rectangular and which is provided for the preferably form-fitting reception of such a locking lug.
  • the two locking lugs of a module can differ from one another, for example in their shape and/or size, in particular in their length, and the tabs on both sides of the holding frame can have corresponding windows, which also differ from one another and whose size and/or shape match one of the locking lugs.
  • This has the advantage that the orientation of each module in the holding frame is determined.
  • the locking windows and the locking lugs can be used as coding means, in particular as polarization means, for orienting the modules in the holding frame due to their shape and/or size.
  • the tabs of the holding frame are slightly bent away from the holding frame in a free-standing end area, which makes it easier to insert the modules. Inserting a module into the holding frame is then particularly user-friendly. To do this, a module is first inserted between two tabs of a holding frame and then slides with its two end faces and in particular with the locking lugs formed on them along the bent-away end areas of the tabs. This causes the two tabs to bend apart briefly until the respective locking lugs are received by the corresponding locking window of the respective tab and thus lock into place. When receiving When the locking lugs are pushed into the respective locking window, the tabs spring back into their original position. This allows the modules to lock individually into the holding frame.
  • the module is held firmly in the preferably rigid base frame.
  • the two corresponding tabs only have to be bent away from each other.
  • the respective module can then be removed individually from the holding frame, while the other modules remain locked in place. This ensures that the module is held firmly in the holding frame with a comparatively low actuation force, which is particularly advantageous for usability.
  • modules are already held in the holding frame with sufficient holding force by the aforementioned construction and therefore do not require any further locking means, such as locking arms, apart from their locking lugs, because this considerably simplifies their design and thus their manufacturing effort and at the same time ensures a compact design and thus also a high heat resistance of the modules and thus of the entire connector.
  • these two cheek parts are of the same type, i.e. despite the two-part design of the holding frame, only cheek parts of one type have to be produced, which further reduces the manufacturing effort.
  • the two cheek parts differ in the size and/or shape of their locking windows.
  • This has the advantage that the orientation of each module, which accordingly also has two different locking lugs, can be determined.
  • the locking windows and the locking lugs can thus serve as coding means for the orientation of the modules due to their shape.
  • the holding frame can be equipped with a corresponding PE module, which, for example, via an electrically conductive earthing clamp, creates an electrical contact between a grounding cable connected to it and the at least partially electrically conductive, in particular metallic, holding frame. This allows the holding frame to be equipped with a PE contact.

  • Both the end faces 11, 11' and the side parts 12, 12' have a substantially rectangular shape, wherein a flange 13, 13' projecting at right angles thereto is formed on the end faces 11, 11', wherein each of these two flanges 13, 13' has two screw holes 131, 131', so that the base frame 1 has a total of four screw holes 131, 131'.
  • the two side parts 12, 12' each have a plurality of webs 122, 122' on a first edge, which in the present embodiment are relatively short and arranged symmetrically opposite one another, whereby the term "short" in this context means that the length of the webs 122, 122' running upwards in the drawing is less than their width. In a slightly different embodiment, however, the webs 122, 122' could also be significantly longer. For example, their length could correspond to their width or even exceed it.
