Description

Flex-Bus-Steckverbinder Flex-bus connector
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Flex-Bus-Steckverbinder zum Kontaktieren von Abzweigen oder Endstücken von Flex-Flach- bandkabeln nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a flex bus connector for contacting branches or end pieces of flex ribbon cables according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein solcher Steckverbinder ist beispielsweise aus der US-PS 4 802 866 bekannt. Der in dieser Druckschrift beschriebene Steckverbinder weist ein Buchsengehäuse auf, in dem das Ende eines Flex- Flachbandkabels S-fδrmig angeordnet ist. Der dem freien Ende des Kabels nächstgelegene Bogen wird von einer in das Gehäuseinnere ausbauchenden Blattfeder gestützt, so daß dieser Bogen verengt ist und eine Steckerlanze, um die ein zweites zu verbindenden Flex- Flachbandkabel gebogen ist, unter Überwindung der Federspannung Such a connector is known for example from US Pat. No. 4,802,866. The connector described in this document has a socket housing, in which the end of a flexible ribbon cable is arranged in an S shape. The bow closest to the free end of the cable is supported by a leaf spring bulging into the interior of the housing, so that this bow is narrowed and a plug lance around which a second flex ribbon cable to be connected is bent, overcoming the spring tension
in den S-Bogen eindringen kann, so daß die jeweils abisolierten Leiter der Kabelenden durch die Federkraft aufeinandergepreßt werden.can penetrate into the S-arm, so that the stripped conductors of the cable ends are pressed together by the spring force.
Diese Konstruktion ermöglicht eine lötfreie, lösbare Verbindung von Enden von Flex-Flachbandkabeln. Die Handhabung, insbesondere des Buchsengehäuses der Steckverbindung gestaltet sich jedoch schwierig, weil das korrekte Einführen des Flachbandkabelendes nicht hinreichend einsehbar und kontrollierbar ist. Auch kann sich das freie Ende des Flachbandkabels beim Einfügen der Stecklanze des Gegensteckers von der Blattfeder lösen und sich aufstellen, so daß ein zuverlässiger Kontakt zwischen den Leiterbahnen der zu verbindenden Flex-Flachbandkabel nicht mehr gewährleistet ist.This construction enables a solderless, releasable connection of the ends of flex ribbon cables. The handling, in particular of the socket housing of the plug connection, turns out to be difficult, however, because the correct insertion of the ribbon cable end cannot be seen and controlled sufficiently. The free end of the ribbon cable can also detach itself from the leaf spring when the plug lance of the mating connector is inserted, so that reliable contact between the conductor tracks of the flex ribbon cable to be connected is no longer guaranteed.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Flex-Bus-Steckverbinder so zu verbessern, daß sowohl seine Handhabung auch das Erstellen einer Verbindung zwischen den zu verbindenden Kabeln bzw. Kabelenden einfacher und sicherer gestaltet wird.The present invention has for its object to improve a generic Flex bus connector so that both its handling and the creation of a connection between the cables to be connected or cable ends is made easier and safer.
Diese Aufgabe wird anspruchsgemäß gelöst. In den Unteransprüchen sind Merkmale bevorzugter Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung gekennzeichnet.This task is solved according to the requirements. Features of preferred embodiments of the present invention are characterized in the subclaims.
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, in den beiden zu verbindenden Steckergehäusen jeweils einen das Flex-Flachbandkabel stützenden und im Gehäuse festklemmenden Unterbau in Form einer verr astbaren Anpreßfeder bzw. einer verrastbaren Einstecklanze vorzusehen, die einfach zu plazieren sind und im gelösten, wie im zusammengesetzten Zustand die Flachbandkabel sicher am jeweiligen Gehäuse haltern. Durch die Federkraft der Anpreßfeder wird eine sichere Kontaktierung gewährleistet.The invention is based on the idea of providing in the two connector housings to be connected in each case a substructure supporting the flexible ribbon cable and clamping in the housing in the form of a lockable pressure spring or a lockable insertion lance, which are easy to place and in solution, as in Assemble the flat ribbon cable securely on the respective housing. The spring force of the contact spring ensures reliable contacting.
Im Folgenden soll die Erfindung anhand der Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels, unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert werden. Darin zeigen:The invention is to be explained in more detail below on the basis of the description of an exemplary embodiment and with reference to the drawing. In it show:
Fig. 1 einen perspektivischen Teilschnitt des erfindungsgemäßen Flex-Bus-Steckverbinders sowie eine perspektivische Ansicht des Steckverbinders, undFig. 1 is a partial perspective section of the flex bus connector according to the invention and a perspective view of the connector, and
Fig. 2 einen Längsschnitt durch den Flex-Bus-Steckverbinder nach Fig. 1.FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the flex bus connector according to FIG. 1.
Fig. 1 zeigt oben links teilweise geschnitten eine perspektivische Ansicht des erfindungsgemäßen Flex-Bus-Steckverbinders. Auf der linken Seite tritt in das Buchsengehäuse 3 ein Ende eines Flex- Flachbandkabels 1 ein. Ein zweites Flex-Flachbandkabel 2 tritt auf der rechten Seite in Fig. 1 in das Steckergehäuse 4 ein. Im gezeigten Fall handelt es sich um die Verbindung zweier Flex-Flachbandkabel- enden, wobei zu erkennen ist, daß die Enden entweder aus dem entsprechenden Gehäuseteil überstehen, oder in ihm liegen. Man erkannt daran bereits, daß es mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder ebenso möglich ist, eine Abzweigverbindung herzustellen, wobei anstelle zumindest eines der gezeigten freien Enden des Kabels weitergeführt ist. In dem Buchsenstecker 3 ist eine Anpreßfeder 6 angeordnet, die im wesentlichen die Form eines zur Stecköffnung hin offenen Us aufweist. Das Flachbandkabel 1 ist zwischen der oberen Innenwand des Buchsengehäuses 3 und der Anpreßfeder 6 auf der Höhe einer Rippe 7 eingeklemmt und folgt der Kontur der Anpreßfeder, bis es auch den unteren Schenkel der Anpreßfeder auf dessen Innen- und Außenseite bedeckt hat. Auf der gleichen Höhe wie in der oberen Innenwand des Buchsengehäuses 3 befindet sich innen auf dem Boden des Buchsengehäuses ebenfalls eine Rippe 7, durch die das Flachbandkabel 1 ebenfalls zwischen der Anpreßfeder 6 und dem Gehäuseboden eingeklemmt wird.Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the Flex-Bus connector according to the invention, partly in section at the top left. One end of a flexible ribbon cable 1 enters the socket housing 3 on the left-hand side. A second flex ribbon cable 2 enters the connector housing 4 on the right side in FIG. 1. In the case shown, it is a matter of connecting two flex ribbon cable ends, it being evident that the ends either protrude from the corresponding housing part or lie in it. It can already be seen from this that it is also possible with the plug connector according to the invention to establish a branch connection, with instead of at least one of the free ends of the cable shown continuing. In the socket plug 3, a pressure spring 6 is arranged, which essentially has the shape of an open to the plug opening Us. The ribbon cable 1 is clamped between the upper inner wall of the socket housing 3 and the pressure spring 6 at the height of a rib 7 and follows the contour of the pressure spring until it has also covered the lower leg of the pressure spring on its inside and outside. At the same height as in the upper inner wall of the socket housing 3 there is also a rib 7 on the inside on the bottom of the socket housing, through which the ribbon cable 1 is also clamped between the pressure spring 6 and the housing base.
In dem Steckergehäuse 4 ist das Flachbandkabel 2 auf analoge Weise mittels einer Einstecklanze 5 eingeklemmt.In the connector housing 4, the ribbon cable 2 is clamped in an analogous manner by means of an insertion lance 5.
Die Abbildung rechts unten in Fig. 1 zeigt das Buchsengehäuse 3 und das Steckergehäuse 4 in zusammengestecktem Zustand. Dabei erkennt man, daß die Stecklanze 5 an ihren Seiten in einen Schlitz 11 im Steckgehäuse 4 verrastet ist.The figure at the bottom right in Fig. 1 shows the socket housing 3 and the connector housing 4 in the assembled state. It can be seen that the plug lance 5 is locked on its sides in a slot 11 in the plug housing 4.
Fig. 2 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch den erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder. Man erkennt insbesondere die genaue Form der Anpreßfeder 6, die an ihrer Basis einen Kulissenstein 13 ausgebildet hat, der in einer Längsnut 12 geführt ist. Damit wird die Anpreßfeder 6 bezüglich der Steckachse symmetrisch ausgerichtet gehaltert, so daß die Stecklanze 5 zentriert eingeführt werden kann. Bei der Montage des Steckverbinders wird die Anpreßfeder 6 außerhalb des Buchsengehäuses 3 mit dem Ende des Flachbandkabels 1 umwik- kelt, wobei mindestens die Kontaktbereiche 14 abisoliert sind. Dabei ist es unschädlich, wenn darüber hinaus ein größerer Bereich am Kabelende abisoliert ist, da dieser Bereich vollständig in das Buchsengehäuse 3 eingeführt wird und dort nicht unbeabsichtigt ungewollte Stromwege erzeugt werden können. Die Anpreßfeder 6 wird mit dem um sie herumgewickelten Flachkabelende, geführt durch die Nut 12 und die Kulissensteine 13 in das Buchsengehäuse 3 eingeführt, bis die Anpreßfeder durch die Rippen 7 darin verrastet. Zu diesem Zweck sind Sicken 9 auf den Außenseiten der Schenkel der Anpreßfeder ausgebildet.Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the connector according to the invention. One recognizes in particular the exact shape of the pressure spring 6, which has formed a sliding block 13 at its base, which is guided in a longitudinal groove 12. So that the pressure spring 6 is held symmetrically aligned with respect to the plug axis, so that the plug lance 5 can be inserted centered. When the plug connector is installed, the contact spring 6 is wound around the end of the ribbon cable 1 outside the socket housing 3, at least the contact areas 14 being stripped. there it is harmless if, in addition, a larger area is stripped at the end of the cable, since this area is fully inserted into the socket housing 3 and undesired current paths cannot be generated there unintentionally. The pressure spring 6 is inserted with the flat cable end wrapped around it, guided through the groove 12 and the sliding blocks 13 into the socket housing 3 until the pressure spring is locked therein by the ribs 7. For this purpose beads 9 are formed on the outer sides of the legs of the pressure spring.
Die Steckerlanze 5 ist durch Rippen 8 an den Innenwänden des Steckergehäuses 4 und entsprechenden Vertiefungen 10 in den Seitenwänden der Stecklanze ebenfalls arretiert, wobei gleichzeitig das Flachkabelende des Kabels 2 fixiert ist. Auf diese Weise sind beide Kabel 1, 2 zugentlastet. Das Kabelende des Kabels 2 ist ebenfalls so weit abisoliert, daß die abisolierten Leiterbahnen der Kabel 1 und 2 aufeinander zu liegen kommen. Die Spitze der Stecklanze 5 ist keilförmig ausgebildet, so daß sie bis zum Erreichen ihrer Endposition die Schenkel der Anpreßfeder 6 gegen die ihr eigene Federkraft etwas aufspreizt, so daß die Kontaktflächen unter permanentem elastischen Federdruck aneinandergepreßt werden. Gleichzeitig erfolgt eine Säuberung der Kontaktflächen während des Einsteckvorgangs, da die zu verbindenden Leiterflächen aufeinander reiben.The plug lance 5 is also locked by ribs 8 on the inner walls of the plug housing 4 and corresponding depressions 10 in the side walls of the plug lance, the flat cable end of the cable 2 being fixed at the same time. In this way, both cables 1, 2 are strain relieved. The cable end of the cable 2 is also stripped to such an extent that the stripped conductor tracks of the cables 1 and 2 come to lie on one another. The tip of the plug lance 5 is wedge-shaped so that it spreads the legs of the pressure spring 6 slightly against its own spring force until it reaches its end position, so that the contact surfaces are pressed against one another under permanent elastic spring pressure. At the same time, the contact surfaces are cleaned during the insertion process, since the conductor surfaces to be connected rub against one another.
Die erfindungsgemäße Steckverbindung erweist sich als leicht montierbar, da das Anbringen der Flachkabel auf der Anpreßfeder 6 bzw. der Stecklanze 5 außerhalb der jeweils zugehörigen Gehäuse 3, 4 geschieht, so daß die richtige Orientierung der abisolierten Leiterbahn leicht überprüft werden kann. Nach dem Anbringen der An- preßfeder 6 im Buchsengehäuse 3 und der Stecklanze 5 im Steckergehäuse 4 sind diese dort zugentlastet arretiert. Beim Zusammenfügen des Buchsengehäuses 3 und des Steckergehäuses 4 werden diese in ihrer Endstellung verrastet. Damit ist durch einfache Handhabung eine sichere Verbindung zweier Flex-Flachbandkabel bzw. Flachbandkabelenden hergestellt. The plug connection according to the invention proves to be easy to assemble, since the attachment of the flat cable on the pressure spring 6 or the plug lance 5 takes place outside the respectively associated housing 3, 4, so that the correct orientation of the stripped conductor track can be easily checked. After attaching the attachment compression spring 6 in the socket housing 3 and the plug lance 5 in the plug housing 4, these are locked there in a strain-relieved manner. When the socket housing 3 and the plug housing 4 are joined together, they are locked in their end position. A simple connection ensures a secure connection between two flex ribbon cables or ribbon cable ends.
