Abstract

The invention concerns a particular design of a coupler plug. This design is characterized in that the coupler plug, unlike the prior art, does not have individual pin elements (1) that are crimped with the litz wires (4) of a wire harness, rather, the bared ends (3) of the litz wires (4) of the wire harness are themselves provided in the form a plug-in element (e.g. produced by a form punch).

Description

Stiftkontakt für einen KupplungssteckerPin contact for a coupling plug
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kabelbaumstecker mit einem Kabelbaum, bestehend aus einer Vielzahl von Kabeln, die mit innerhalb des Kabelbaumsteckers angeordneten Stiftelementen verbindbar sind.The invention relates to a cable harness connector with a cable harness, consisting of a plurality of cables which can be connected to pin elements arranged within the cable harness connector.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Elektrische KupplungsSteckverbindungen bilden eine lösbare Verbindung von Kabelsträngen. Zu diesem Zweck ist jeweils an einem Kabelbaumstrang ein Kupplungsstecker angeordnet, wobei der eine Kabelstrang einen Kupplungsstecker mit Stiftelementen aufweist und der weitere Kupplungsstecker ei- nen Bereich mit Buchsenkontakten, so dass die Buchsenkontakte die entsprechenden Stiftelemente aufnehmen können. Dadurch wird eine elektrische, lösbare Steckverbindung geschlossen. Eine Möglichkeit ist, dass die Enden der Kabelbaumstränge an die jeweiligen Stiftkontakte angelötet werden. Eine Alternative dazu ist das Verfahren des Crimpen oder die Schneid-Klemm-Technik. Aufgabe der ErfindungElectrical coupling plug connections form a detachable connection of cable harnesses. For this purpose, a coupling plug is arranged in each case on a cable harness, the one cable section having a coupling plug with pin elements and the further coupling plug having an area with socket contacts, so that the socket contacts can receive the corresponding pin elements. This closes an electrical, detachable plug connection. One possibility is that the ends of the wire harnesses are soldered to the respective pin contacts. An alternative to this is the crimping process or the insulation displacement technique. Object of the invention
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, die Steckverbindung. derart weiterzubilden, dass eine Kosteneinsparung bei der Gesamtsteckverbindung bzw. beim Kabelbaum eintritt.The object of the invention is the plug connection. to further develop in such a way that a cost saving occurs in the overall plug connection or in the wiring harness.
Lösung der AufgabeSolution of the task
Der Kerngedanke der Lösung der Aufgabe besteht darin, anstelle der Stiftelemente die Litzen selbst als Stiftelemente zu verwenden. Hierzu wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass die Enden der Litzen als Steckelemente ausgebildet sind.The main idea of the solution to the problem is to use the strands themselves as pin elements instead of the pin elements. For this purpose, it is proposed according to the invention that the ends of the strands are designed as plug-in elements.
Vorteile der Erfindung Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass das Verbinden und das Einführen der entsprechenden Stiftelemente sowie das Herstellen der Stiftelemente selbst eingespart wird. Durch bekannte Verfahren werden die Enden der Kabelbaumstränge zunächst abisoliert und die frei liegenden Litzenenden, statt an diese die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Stiftkontakte anzulegen und durch entsprechendes Vercrimpen zu befestigen, derart umzuformen, dass diese Kabelenden die Stiftgeometrie annehmen. Dadurch sind sie geeignet, in den entsprechenden Buchsenkontakt des Gegensteckers eingeführt zu werden.Advantages of the Invention An essential advantage of the invention is that the connection and insertion of the corresponding pin elements and the production of the pin elements themselves are saved. Using known methods, the ends of the wire harness are first stripped and the exposed wire ends, instead of applying the pin contacts known from the prior art to them and fastened by appropriate crimping, in such a way that these cable ends assume the pin geometry. This makes them suitable to be inserted into the corresponding socket contact of the mating connector.
Integriert in einen Formstempel werden die Litzenenden durch Ultraschallschweißverfahren miteinander derart verstemmt, dass die Stiftgeometrie fixiert wird. Durch entsprechende Präge- und Formstempel können beliebige Formen und Ausführungen von Stiftelementen gestaltet werden.Integrated into a form stamp, the ends of the strands are caulked to one another by ultrasonic welding processes in such a way that the pin geometry is fixed. Appropriate embossing and form stamps can be used to design any shapes and designs of pin elements.
Durch diese Erfindung werden die herkömmlichen Stiftkontakte eingespart. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen gehen aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, sowie der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen hervor.This invention saves the conventional pin contacts. Further advantageous embodiments emerge from the following description, as well as the drawing and the claims.

Beschreibung eines AusführungsbeispielsDescription of an embodiment
In Fig. 1 ist perspektivisch ein erfindungsgemäß ausgestaltetes Stiftelement 1 dargestellt. Dieses Stiftelement 1 umfasst ein Kabel 2 eines nicht näher dargestellten Kabelbaums, wobei das Ende 3 des Kabels 2 abisoliert ist und so die einzelnen Litzen 4 des Kabels "freigelegt sind. Durch einen nicht näher dargestellten Formstempel wird das so frei gelegte Ende 3 des Kabels 2 in eine entsprechende Stiftgeometrie umgeändert. Die Stiftgeometrie entspricht einem Stiftelement 5, wie es in einem hier nicht näher dargestellten Gegenstecker bzw. Buchse einsteckbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß teilt sich das Kabel 2 somit in drei Bereiche auf, einem 1. Bereich 6, der dem Bereich entspricht, der in einen Buchsenstecker einfügbar ist, einen 2. Bereich 7, in dem die einzelnen Litzen 4 in das Stiftelement 5 übergehen und einen 3. Bereich 8, bei dem das entsprechende Kabel 2 un- verändert bleibt.1 shows a perspective view of a pin element 1 designed according to the invention. This pin element 1 comprises a cable 2 of a cable harness (not shown in more detail), the end 3 of the cable 2 being stripped and thus exposing the individual strands 4 of the cable The pin geometry corresponds to a pin element 5, as can be inserted into a mating plug or socket (not shown here). According to the invention, the cable 2 is thus divided into three areas, a first area 6, which corresponds to the area , which can be inserted into a socket connector, a second area 7 in which the individual strands 4 merge into the pin element 5 and a third area 8 in which the corresponding cable 2 remains unchanged.
Aufgrund der besonderen und einfachen Gestaltung des Kabels eines Kabelbaumsteckers lassen sich unterschiedliche Stiftgeometrien auf sehr einfache Art und Weise herstellen. Durch dieses Verfahren können die eigentli- chen Stiftelemente eingespart werden. Due to the special and simple design of the cable of a cable harness connector, different pin geometries can be produced in a very simple manner. The actual pin elements can be saved by this method.
