Description

Vorrichtung zur Fixierung von mindestens einem Steckverbinder an einem GehäuseDevice for fixing at least one connector to a housing
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Fixierung von mindestens einem Steckverbinder an einem Gehäuse, insbesonde- re an einem Laptop- oder Notebookgehäuse, in das der mindestens eine Steckverbinder eingesteckt ist.The invention relates to a device for fixing at least one plug connector to a housing, in particular to a laptop or notebook housing, into which the at least one plug connector is inserted.
Wie allgemein aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist, ist der Zweck der oben genannten Vorrichtung den in ein Laptop- oder Notebookgehäuse eingesteckten Steckverbinder vor einem unerwünschtem Abknicken zu schützen. Bisher werden diese Vorrichtungen mittels Klett- oder Klebebändern oder dergleichen an der Unterseite des Laptop- oder Notebookgehäuses befestigt. Möchte man für den Transport den Laptop oder das Notebook in eine Tasche verstauen, dann ist die seitlich am Gehäuse vorstehende Fixiervorrichtung sperrig und hinderlich. Deshalb ist es erforderlich, die Fixiervorrichtung von der Unterseite des Gehäuses zu lösen. Aufgrund der enormen Haltekräfte zwischen dem Klett- oder Klebeband und dem Gehäuse reißt jedoch das am Gehäuse angeklebte Klett- oder Klebeband vom Gehäuse weg, so dass dieses für ein weiteres Anbringen der Fixiervor- richtung an der Gehäuseunterseite nicht mehr verwendet werden kann. 'Ferner kann es beim Entfernen der Fixiervorrichtung von der Gehäuseunterseite aufgrund der großen Haltekräfte der Klett- und Klebebänder auch zu einem unerwünschten Verbiegen der Fixiervorrichtung kommen.As is generally known from the prior art, the purpose of the above-mentioned device is to protect the plug connector inserted into a laptop or notebook housing against undesired kinking. So far, these devices have been attached to the underside of the laptop or notebook housing by means of Velcro or adhesive tapes or the like. If you want to stow the laptop or notebook in a bag for transport, the fixing device protruding on the side of the case is bulky and cumbersome. It is therefore necessary to detach the fixing device from the underside of the housing. However, due to the enormous holding forces between the Velcro or adhesive tape and the housing, the Velcro or adhesive tape adhered to the housing tears away from the housing, so that this can be used for further attachment of the fixing device. direction on the underside of the housing can no longer be used. Furthermore, when the fixing device is removed from the underside of the housing, the fixing device can also bend undesirably due to the large holding forces of the Velcro and adhesive tapes.
Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass sie zukünftig ohne die oben beschriebenen Nachteile beliebig oft an das Ge- häuse angebracht und von diesem entfernt werden kann.The object of the invention is to improve a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be attached to and removed from the housing as often as desired without the disadvantages described above.
Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung zur Fixierung von mindestens einem Steckverbinder an einem Gehäuse, insbesondere an einem Laptop- oder Notebookge- häuse, in das der mindestens eine Steckverbinder eingesteckt ist, wobei die Vorrichtung eine an dem Gehäuse anbringbare Basisplatte aufweist und eine an der Basisplatte befestigbare und entfernbare Fixiereinrichtung, mit der der mindestens eine Steckverbinder an dem Gehäuse fixierbar ist. Somit kann die an der Basisplatte befestigte und seitlich hervorstehende Fixiereinrichtung entfernt werden, um das Notebook oder den Laptop in einer Tasche zu transportieren. Während des Transportes ist dann nur noch die relativ flache Basisplatte an der Gehäuseunterseite befestigt, die aufgrund ihrer geringen Dicke beim Transport in der Tasche nicht hinderlich ist. Um den mindestens einen Steckverbinder mit der Fixiereinrichtung fixieren zu können, kann die Fixiereinrichtung mindestens ein Einspannelement aufweisen. Dieses mindestens eine Einspannelement kann vorteilhafterweise als ein einfaches Klemmblech ausgebildet sein. Somit kann der mindestens eine zu fixierende Steckverbinder zwischen dem Klemmblech und der Basisplatte oder auch zwischen zwei Klemmblechen eingespannt werden.The invention achieves the stated object by a device for fixing at least one connector to a housing, in particular to a laptop or notebook housing, into which the at least one connector is inserted, the device having a base plate that can be attached to the housing and one on the base plate attachable and removable fixing device with which the at least one connector can be fixed to the housing. The fixing device, which is attached to the base plate and protrudes laterally, can thus be removed in order to transport the notebook or laptop in a pocket. During transport, only the relatively flat base plate is then attached to the underside of the housing, which is not a hindrance due to its small thickness during transport in the pocket. In order to be able to fix the at least one connector with the fixing device, the fixing device can have at least one clamping element. This at least one clamping element can advantageously be designed as a simple clamping plate. The at least one connector to be fixed can thus be clamped between the clamping plate and the base plate or between two clamping plates.
Das mindestens eine Einspannelement kann gepolstert sein. Durch die Polsterung wird auch bei einer starken Einspannung der mindestens eine Steckverbinder vor einer mechanischen Beschädigung geschützt .The at least one clamping element can be padded. The padding protects the at least one connector from mechanical damage even when the clamp is strong.
Je nach Dicke des mindestens einen Steckverbinders kann das mindestens eine Einspannelement mittels Distanzstücken in der Höhe entsprechend der Dicke und der Position des einzuspannenden mindestens einen Steckverbinders positioniert werden.Depending on the thickness of the at least one connector, the at least one clamping element can be positioned by means of spacers in height in accordance with the thickness and the position of the at least one connector to be clamped.
Damit das mindestens eine Einspannelement schnell und einfach und ohne Verwendung von Werkzeugen fixiert und gelöst werden kann, kann es mit Rändelmuttern fixierbar und lösbar sein. Schnell und einfach lässt sich das Fixierelement mit der Basisplatte verbinden und von dieser lösen, wenn die Fixiereinrichtung in die Basisplatte eingeschoben werden kann.So that the at least one clamping element can be fixed and released quickly and easily and without using tools, it can be fixed and released with knurled nuts. The fixing element can be quickly and easily connected to and detached from the base plate when the fixing device can be inserted into the base plate.
Um ein unerwünschtes Herausrutschen der Fixiereinrichtung aus der Basisplatte zu vermeiden, kann die Basisplatte ein Rastelement aufweisen, mit dem die Fixiereinrichtung an der Basisplatte arretiert werden kann.In order to prevent the fixing device from undesirably slipping out of the base plate, the base plate can have a latching element with which the fixing device can be locked on the base plate.
Zwecks einer einfachen und schnellen Entriegelung kann das Rastelement mittels einer Münze, einem Schraubenzieher oder dergleichen entriegelt werden.For the purpose of simple and quick unlocking, the latching element can be unlocked by means of a coin, a screwdriver or the like.
Zur dauerhaften und zuverlässigen Anbringung der Basisplatte an der Unterseite des Gehäuses kann die Basisplatte mittels Klebe- oder Klettbändern an der Unterseite des Gehäuses befestigt werden.For permanent and reliable attachment of the base plate to the underside of the housing, the base plate can be attached to the underside of the housing by means of adhesive or Velcro strips.
Um ein wackelfreies Aufsetzen des Gehäuses auf einer Abstell- fläche trotz der an der Unterseite des Gehäuses angebrachten Basisplatte zu ermöglichen, können an das Gehäuse Gummifüße angeklebt sein.Rubber feet can be glued to the housing in order to enable the housing to be placed on a shelf without shaking, despite the base plate attached to the underside of the housing.
Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der er- findungsgemäßen Vorrichtung anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Im Einzelnen zeigen:A preferred exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show in detail:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung 10 zur Fixierung von Steckverbindern 11, die seitlich in ein Laptopgehäuse 12 eingesteckt sind. Durch die Vorrichtung 10, die starr mit dem Gehäuse 12 verbunden ist, können die fixierten Steckverbinder 11 vor einem unerwünschten Abknicken geschützt werden. Die Steckverb- inder 11 sind zwischen zwei als Einklemmbleche ausgebildeten Einspannelementen 13 eingespannt, wobei das obere Einspann- element 13 ein Polster 14 aufweist, das mechanische Beschädigungen der Steckverbinder 11 auch bei einer starken Einspan- nung verhindert. Die Einspannelemente 13 sind an ihren Endbereichen durch Gewindeschrauben 15 und Rändelmuttern 16 mit- einander verspannt. Distanzstücke 17 dienen zur Höheneinstellung des unteren Einspannelementes 13. Somit kann durch die Distanzstücke 17, je nach der Dicke der Steckverbinder 11 und abhängig von der vertikalen Einsteckposition der Steckverbinder 11 die zur Fixierung erforderliche Position des unteren Einspannelementes 13 eingestellt werden. Alternativ zu den Distanzstücken 17 können auch Einstellmuttern zur stufenlosen Höheneinstellung verwendet werden.Fig. 1 shows a device 10 for fixing connectors 11 which are laterally inserted into a laptop housing 12. By means of the device 10, which is rigidly connected to the housing 12, the fixed plug connector 11 can be protected against undesired kinking. The plug-in connectors 11 are clamped between two clamping elements 13 designed as clamping plates, the upper clamping element 13 has a cushion 14, which prevents mechanical damage to the plug connector 11 even with strong clamping. The clamping elements 13 are clamped together at their end regions by means of threaded screws 15 and knurled nuts 16. Spacers 17 are used to adjust the height of the lower clamping element 13. Thus, the position of the lower clamping element 13 required for fixing can be set by the spacers 17, depending on the thickness of the plug connector 11 and depending on the vertical insertion position of the plug connector 11. As an alternative to the spacers 17, adjusting nuts for stepless height adjustment can also be used.
Fig. 2 zeigt einen Ausschnitt des Gehäuses 12, an dem die Vorrichtung 10 angeordnet ist. Eine Basisplatte 20 (siehe Fig. 4) der Vorrichtung 10 ist mittels Klett- oder Klebebändern an dem Gehäuse 12 befestigt. Andere Fixierarten sind ebenfalls möglich. Optional am Boden des Gehäuses 12 anbringbare Gummifüße 21, die mindestens die Dicke der Basisplatte 20 aufweisen, verhindern ein Wackeln des Gehäuses 12, wenn dieses auf einer hier nicht näher dargestellten Absteilfläche abgestellt wird.Fig. 2 shows a section of the housing 12 on which the device 10 is arranged. A base plate 20 (see FIG. 4) of the device 10 is fastened to the housing 12 by means of Velcro or adhesive tapes. Other types of fixation are also possible. Rubber feet 21, which can optionally be attached to the bottom of the housing 12 and have at least the thickness of the base plate 20, prevent the housing 12 from wobbling when it is placed on a parting surface (not shown here).
Fig. 3 zeigt die Vorrichtung 10 alleine. Auf der Basisplatte 20 befinden sich Klebstreifen 30, mittels denen die Basisplatte 20 an der Unterseite des Gehäuses (siehe Fign. 1 und 2) befestigt wird. An einem der Endbereiche der Basisplatte 20 befindet sich eine Fixiereinrichtung 31, die die Gewindeschrauben 15, die Rändelmuttern 16, die Einspannelemente 13 und die Distanzstücke 17 umfasst (siehe Fig. 1) .3 shows the device 10 alone. On the base plate 20 there are adhesive strips 30, by means of which the base plate 20 on the underside of the housing (see FIGS. 1 and 2) is attached. At one of the end regions of the base plate 20 there is a fixing device 31 which comprises the threaded screws 15, the knurled nuts 16, the clamping elements 13 and the spacers 17 (see FIG. 1).
Fig. 4 zeigt die Basisplatte 20. Die Basisplatte 20 weist umgebogene Kanten 40 auf, die ihr eine Verwindungssteifigkeit geben. Die Kante 40 weist im Bereich einer der Stirnseiten der Basisplatte 20 eine Ausnehmung 41 auf, um über die eine Stirnseite eine Grundplatte 50 (siehe Fig. 5) der Fixiereinrichtung 31 (siehe Fig. 3) in Richtung eines Pfeils 43 einführen zu können. Zur exakten Führung während des Einführens der Fixiereinrichtung 31 in die Basisplatte 20 weist die Basisplatte 20 Führungselemente 42 auf. Die Führungselemente 42 können die Grundplatte 50 in ihren Randbereichen umgreifen, so dass die Grundplatte 50 an der Basisplatte 20 festgehalten wird. Um ein Herausrutschen der Grundplatte 50 entgegen der Einschubrichtung 43 zu verhindern, wird die Grundplatte 50 von einer Haltefeder 44 arretiert. In einen Schlitz 45 kann von der hier nicht sichtbaren Unterseite eine Münze oder ein Schraubenzieher gegen die Haltefeder 44 gedrückt werden, um die Arretierung der Haltefeder 44 zu lösen und somit die Grundplatte 50 aus der Basisplatte 20 entgegen der Einschubrichtung 43 herausschieben zu können. Fig. 5 zeigt die Grundplatte 50 der Fixiereinrichtung 31 (siehe Fig. 3) , die mit einer Zunge 51 in die Führungselemente 42 (siehe Fig. 4) eingeschoben werden kann. In ihrem vorderen Endbereich weist die Zunge 51 einen Schlitz 52 auf, in den die Haltefeder 44 (siehe Fig. 4) zur Arretierung der Grundplatte 50 mit der Basisplatte 20 einrasten kann. Ein Schlitz 53 ist im arretierten Zustand deckungsgleich mit dem Schlitz 45 der Basisplatte 20 (siehe Fig. 4) . Somit kann beim Entriegeln der Haltefeder 44 mittels einer Münze oder eines Schraubenziehers die Haltefeder 44 nach oben und aus demFig. 4 shows the base plate 20. The base plate 20 has bent edges 40 which give it a torsional stiffness. The edge 40 has a recess 41 in the area of one of the end faces of the base plate 20 in order to be able to insert a base plate 50 (see FIG. 5) of the fixing device 31 (see FIG. 3) in the direction of an arrow 43 via the one end face. For exact guidance during the insertion of the fixing device 31 into the base plate 20, the base plate 20 has guide elements 42. The guide elements 42 can grip around the base plate 50 in their edge regions, so that the base plate 50 is held on the base plate 20. In order to prevent the base plate 50 from slipping out against the insertion direction 43, the base plate 50 is locked by a retaining spring 44. In a slot 45, a coin or a screwdriver can be pressed against the holding spring 44 from the underside, which is not visible here, in order to release the locking of the holding spring 44 and thus to be able to push the base plate 50 out of the base plate 20 against the insertion direction 43. FIG. 5 shows the base plate 50 of the fixing device 31 (see FIG. 3), which can be inserted into the guide elements 42 (see FIG. 4) with a tongue 51. In its front end region, the tongue 51 has a slot 52, into which the retaining spring 44 (see FIG. 4) can latch with the base plate 20 for locking the base plate 50. A slot 53 is congruent with the slot 45 of the base plate 20 in the locked state (see FIG. 4). Thus, when unlocking the retaining spring 44 by means of a coin or a screwdriver, the retaining spring 44 can go up and out of the
Schlitz 52 herausgedrückt werden. Ferner weist die Grundplatte 50 Innengewinde 54 auf, in die die Gewindeschrauben 15 (siehe Fig. 3) der Fixiereinrichtung 31 eingeschraubt werden können. Zentriernasen 55 greifen beim Einschieben der Grund- platte 50 in die Basisplatte 20 in dazu vorgesehene Öffnungen 46 (siehe Fig. 4) ein. Sie geben damit der Grundplatte 50 einen festen wackelfreien Halt in der Basisplatte 20. Slot 52 are pushed out. Furthermore, the base plate 50 has internal threads 54, into which the threaded screws 15 (see FIG. 3) of the fixing device 31 can be screwed. Centering lugs 55 engage in openings 46 provided for this purpose when the base plate 50 is inserted into the base plate 20 (see FIG. 4). They thus give the base plate 50 a firm, wobble-free hold in the base plate 20.
