Connector with rotatable locking latch {CONNECTOR WITH ROTABLE LOCKING LATCH}

The present invention relates to a plug element for an electrical connector comprising a latch having a locking element that can be rotated from an unlocked position to a locked position about an axis of rotation and spaced from the axis of rotation.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a mating plug element for an electrical connector.

The present invention also relates to an electrical connector.

Electrical connectors with plug elements and mating plug elements of the type specified above are known from the prior art. The plug element and the mating plug element are to be coupled in the plugging and corresponding plugging directions in order to bring the contact elements and the corresponding contact elements received in the contact elements into contact with each other in an electrically conductive manner. It is generally designed to be (brought together).

To better overcome the mating forces that occur when the plug element and mating plug element are plugged together, and to secure the plug elements to the final plugging position where the plug element and mating plug element are fully plugged together, latches And auxiliary parts such as pushers are used. The latches are generally rotatably mounted on the plug element, and engaged on the mating plug element, then moved from the unlocked position to the locked position, the plug element and mating plug element moved towards each other, and the mating plug element Forces are overcome. Here, the mating forces between the locking component molded on the latch and the corresponding locking component molded on the mating plug are transferred from the latch to one side and the other on the axis of rotation, the axis of rotation being located on the plug element. And, about this axis of rotation, the latch is rotatably mounted.

When the connectors comprise latches known from the prior art, the components on the latch and plug elements that form the axis of rotation of the latch are worn out by repeated use of the latch, and, moreover, even after overcoming mating forces. However, there are problems that the clamping forces between the plug element and the latch on the one hand, and the latch and mating plug element on the other hand can lead to material fatigue of the components that predetermine the axis of rotation. This means that, only by the above-average dimensions, these components are capable of withstanding long-term stressing and wear due to clamping forces for longer periods of time and, if possible, the desired life span of the connector. It causes a drawback that can be made to be very stable.

For connectors comprising a latch known from the prior art, taking into account the above-specified problems and disadvantages, the underlying object of the present invention is a configuration having the smallest possible dimensions that predetermine the axis of rotation of the latch. It is to provide the largest possible clamping forces on the elements.

According to the present invention, this object is provided in that a locking component is provided in which the counter bearing is spaced apart from the axis of rotation and, at least in the locked position, supports the latch in a direction opposite the plugging direction of the plug element. , Achieved for the plug element specified in the introduction.

In the case of a mating plug element specified in the introduction, the object is achieved according to the invention by means of a mating plug element made to complement the plug element designed according to the invention.

In the case of the initially specified electrical connector, the object is achieved according to the invention by means of a plug element according to the invention and a connector having a mating plug element according to the invention.

An advantage of the solutions according to the invention is that the clamping forces can be distributed by the corresponding bearing, which contributes to the axis of rotation being unloaded. The axis of rotation or the components forming the axis of rotation can thus be given the smallest possible dimensions. If the connector, during operation, is subjected to vibrations, the vibrations are not only applied on the axis of rotation, but can be absorbed by the corresponding bearings, and, accordingly, the axis of rotation is further unloaded.

The locking component may be formed and/or disposed eccentrically to the axis of rotation on the latch, for example. The locking component can be made so that the locking component can engage a corresponding locking component that can be disposed on the mating plug element of the connector, and with this mating plug element, the plug element is to be plugged in the plugging direction. Is made. The corresponding bearings of the plug element spaced apart from the axis of rotation may cooperate with the corresponding bearing sections of the rotary latch and support the corresponding bearing sections of the rotary latch in a direction opposite the plugging direction.

The solutions according to the invention can be arbitrarily combined with the following additional embodiments, each advantageous within their own right, and can be further improved by these embodiments.

The locking component may, in at least some sections, be located on one side of the axis of rotation that is turned away from the corresponding bearing along the plugging direction. In other words, the axis of rotation can be located between the locking component and the corresponding bearing. The corresponding locking component can be located on the side of the axis of rotation which is rotated away from the corresponding bearing. Thus, the axis of rotation can be unloaded between the mating bearing and the locking component or the mating locking component, which means that each of the clamping forces through the latch is in a direction opposite the plugging direction between the mating bearing and the latch and its locking component This is because it acts in the plugging direction between the and the corresponding locking component. In both cases, the clamping forces act in a direction away from the axis of rotation. The clamping forces are as neutral as possible within the region of the axis of rotation.

The latch can be resiliently supported on the corresponding bearing. The section of the latch which is supported against the corresponding bearing can be resiliently connected by means of a connecting section to the locking section of the bearing and/or the latch, through which the axis of rotation passes, the axis of rotation passing through the bearing and/or the locking section. The vibrations can thus be absorbed by the latch, and the highest possible clamping force can be applied by virtue of its elasticity.

A counter bearing section may be provided on the latch, on which the counter bearing is placed during movement of the latch from the unlocked position to the locked position. The corresponding bearing section may be, for example, an inclined ramp between an inclined surface and a corresponding bearing surface, with an inclined surface which may be greater than the corresponding bearing distance between the corresponding bearing surface and the axis of rotation. It can have an inclined distance between the axes of rotation. Inclined ramps can be formed by resilient material bridges. The clamping forces can be increased during the rotational motion of the latch by means of an inclined ramp, while the counter bearing first collides with the inclined surface, and then is guided through an inclined ramp on the counter bearing surface. .

The clearance measured parallel to the plugging direction between the pivot bearing component on the housing side of the plug element and the pivot bearing component on the latch side, which together predetermine the axis of rotation, at least when the mating bearing section is supported against the mating bearing in the locked position. (play) can exist. Thus, the dimensions of the pivot bearing components can enable floating mounting of the latch, which further assists in minimizing forces acting on the axis of rotation.

The housing side pivot bearing component can be made in the form of a pin, and the latch side pivot bearing component can be made in the form of an opening. Alternatively, the housing side pivot bearing component can be made in the form of an opening, and the latch side pivot bearing component can be made in the form of a pin. In order to allow play between pivot bearing components at least parallel to the plugging direction, the opening may have an inner diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the pin, measured at least parallel to the plugging direction.

The counter bearing can be made in the form of a protrusion with a rounded support surface facing in a direction opposite to the plugging direction. As a protrusion, the corresponding bearing can simply extend away from the plug element or the housing of the plug element. Alternatively, mating bearings may be made in the form of slots, grooves or some other embodiments, providing a support surface facing in a direction opposite to the plugging direction. Rounding of the support surface assists in allowing the mating bearing section or its mating bearing surface to run as accurately and gently as possible onto the mating bearing and to be supported on this mating bearing.

The locking component can be made at least in sections, in the form of a connecting link curved around an axis of rotation. In the unlocked position, one insertion opening molded on the connecting link can be directed in the plugging direction. The corresponding locking component can be easily guided along the connecting link or the guiding surface of the locking component, which pulls the corresponding locking component in the direction of the plug element by moving the latch from the unlocked position to the locked position. I can.

On the mating plug element, the corresponding locking element can be made in the form of a bolt, peg, pin, etc., accordingly, when the locking element is made in the form of a connecting link. Alternatively, the locking component can be made in the form of a bar-like guide or a guideable protrusion. As a protrusion, the locking component can cooperate with a guide or connecting link that is molded on the mating plug element.

In the case of the electrical connector specified in the introduction, the solution according to the invention is, for example, in the locked position, the locking element engages the corresponding locking element of the mating plug element, and the latch engages the corresponding bearing, at least in the locking configuration The element is supported on the corresponding locking component in a direction opposite to the plugging direction, or the latch is further improved in that the plug element is supported by abutting against the corresponding bearing in the plugging direction in which the plug element is brought together. Can be. In other words, as already mentioned above, the clamping forces between the latch and the corresponding bearing on the one hand and between the locking component and the corresponding locking component on the other hand are, instead of as usual in the prior art, and thus the locking configuration It acts between the element and the axis of rotation, and thus it is unloaded.

At least in the locked position, the axis of rotation can be free from forces parallel to the plugging direction. Thus, at least in the locked position, i.e. during operation of the connector in general, forces acting parallel to the plugging direction can be fully displaced between the latch, the mating bearing, and the mating locking component, and the rotation axis or rotation axis The components forming the can be preserved.

The mating bearing and mating locking component may be arranged along the height direction of the connector, substantially at the level of the central axis of the connector. At least in the height direction, for example, the central axis can run centrally through the plugging section of the plug element and/or through the mating plugging section of the mating plugging section. Optimally, the central axis runs along the connector's neutral fiber or is superimposed by the connector's neutral fiber. The mating bearing and mating locking component may be centrally disposed on the connector and/or on the neutral fiber in the height direction. Thus, the plug element and mating plug element can be brought together and held in a locked state, wherever possible, without the occurrence of any twisting or transverse forces, and this means that the corresponding bearing, corresponding It aids in preserving both the bearing section, the locking component, the corresponding locking component and the axis of rotation, as well as both the plugging section and the mating plugging section.

At least in the locked position, the distance between the corresponding bearing and the axis of rotation, measured parallel to the plugging direction, may be greater than the distance between the axis of rotation and the corresponding locking element, measured parallel to the direction of plugging. Thus, with the section of the latch positioned between the axis of rotation and the corresponding bearing, the section of which is larger than any section located between the corresponding locking component and the axis of rotation, the highest possible, which facilitates overcoming the mating forces. Latch effects can be achieved.

At least in the locked position, the corresponding bearing, the axis of rotation and the corresponding locking element can be located in the projection along the axis of rotation in a triangular arrangement. Thus, the axis of rotation may be located outside the force line formed between the corresponding locking component and the corresponding bearing, which may additionally contribute to the unloading of the axis of rotation.
