Definitions

  • the invention relates to a compact, self-locating plug-in system, having a contact chamber for contact partners and a mating connector that can be plugged together therewith, according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Plug connections which include a plug connector and a mating plug connector that can be plugged together, each of which is arranged at one end of a (single) line or a cable (with several lines). After the plug connector has been inserted into the mating plug connector, there is a rigid connection between these two elements, including for the contact partners of the plug connector and the contact partners of the mating plug connector that are connected to it. There is no play or tolerance compensation between these two elements of the plug connection or their contact partners.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a plug connection, also referred to as a plug system, in which play or tolerance compensation is possible between the plug connector and the mating plug connector.
  • the contact carrier has a cover cap connected to the contact carrier on its side facing away from the front end, with a base of the cover cap being arranged at a distance from the contact carrier and at least one spring element between the contact carrier and the base of the cover cap, so that the Contact carrier and the cover cap can be moved relative to one another to a limited extent due to their connection to one another. Due to this structure, play or tolerance compensation is possible between the contact carrier, which can be the plug connector or which is part of a plug connector, and the mating plug connector when these two elements have been plugged into one another.
  • the spring element enables relative mobility between the contact carrier and the cover cap.
  • the cover cap is preferably mounted in a fixed location, for example inside or outside a housing of a device, so that play or tolerance compensation is still possible through this stationary connection.
  • the contact carrier and the cover cap are connected to one another via at least one latching connection.
  • the two elements can be kept at a distance with the interposition of at least one spring element and cannot move completely away from one another.
  • the locking connection is designed in such a way that it is not possible to separate the two elements from one another, but they are still kept at a distance and relative mobility between these two elements is possible.
  • the contact carrier and the cover cap can be moved relative to one another to a limited extent, guided via at least one guide element.
  • the both elements namely contact carrier and cover cap, guided towards each other during their limited relative movement to one another.
  • the cover cap can be mounted in a stationary manner so that the contact carrier can be moved relative to it.
  • the contact carrier is arranged in a stationary manner (for example by inserting it into a mating connector that is also mounted in a stationary manner) and the cover cap is thereby movable relative to the contact carrier.
  • the cover cap is in operative connection with a holder. This makes it possible for the contact carrier and the cover cap to be movable relative to one another and at the same time for the cover cap to be mounted in a stationary manner by being arranged in a holder. This increases the ease of installation and the possibility of installation if the cover cap is to be moved in a stationary and non-movable manner in relation to this installation location.
  • the holder has at least one guide element for receiving and guiding the cover cap.
  • this at least one guide element is provided for receiving and guiding the cover cap.
  • the guide element is designed as at least one guide rail.
  • a further development of the invention provides that two mutually spaced guide rails are arranged on a base of the holder, with the two opposite ends of the base of the cover cap being insertable into these guide rails .
  • the at least one spring element is designed as a compression spring.
  • This provides a cost-effective and effective spring element which biases the contact carrier relative to the cover cap (or vice versa) and keeps it at a distance under spring action.
  • Two, three, four or more than four compression springs, which are arranged and fixed on or in the contact carrier and/or on or in the cover cap, can also be considered.
  • This arrangement of two, three, four or more than four compression springs can be done, for example, in a square, a rectangle, a circle, an oval or the like.
  • Such a symmetrical arrangement of the plurality of compression springs relative to one another has the advantage that a uniform pretension of the contact carrier with respect to the cover cap is effected in order to minimize wear during the relative movement during operation of the contact carrier (or the plug connector).
  • the contact carrier has a receiving space for the at least one compression spring.
  • the cover cap can also have a receiving space for the at least one compression spring exhibit.
  • the contact carrier and/or the cover cap has at least one guide element for guiding the cover cap in relation to the contact carrier.
  • the at least one guide element is designed as a pin, which is arranged on one element (for example the contact carrier) and engages in a corresponding recess in the other element (in the example case in the cover cap).
  • the following requirement is met in particular: self-locating plugging after pre-assembly on the housing cover, for example +/- 1.5mm tolerance compensation in several, preferably all three spatial axes, mountability on the housing cover without further additional elements
  • the invention thus provides a self-locating plug-in system, comprising a contact carrier into which at least one contact can be inserted, the contact carrier being equipped with at least one compression spring, in particular several compression springs, which is/are prestressed via at least one cover cap, the Compression springs are used for tolerance compensation and decoupling in the contacting direction, since the necessary technical contact coverage cannot be absorbed via the contact length (e.g. pin contact) due to the deviations that occur, with the assembly then being further divided into one Holder, in particular a plastic holder, is inserted, in particular clipped in, which is provided with receiving and positioning elements, whereby the floating receptacle in the holder/plastic holder ensures tolerance compensation in the remaining, preferably two, spatial axes.
  • the contact carrier being equipped with at least one compression spring, in particular several compression springs, which is/are prestressed via at least one cover cap, the Compression springs are used for tolerance compensation and decoupling in the contacting direction, since the necessary technical contact coverage cannot be absorbed via

  • reference number 1 denotes a plug-in system according to the invention.
  • This plug-in system 1 includes a contact carrier 2, compression springs 3 and a cover cap 4.
  • a holder 5 can, but does not have to be present.
  • a mating connector 6 is shown, which interacts with the contact carrier 2 or a connector formed from the contact carrier 2, the compression springs 3 and the cover cap 4 (optionally also the holder 5).
  • the mating connector 6 has a receiving space 7 for the front end of the contact carrier 2. There is also a receiving space 8 for receiving a connector (not shown).

  • the stationary fixing of the mating connector 6 can also be done in another way and/or under The fastening arm 9 can be omitted.
  • the mating connector 6 can, but does not have to, have a circumferential groove 10.
  • a sealing element such as an O-ring
  • the cover cap 4 consists of an approximately rectangular base 11. From the base 11, also in the direction of the contact carrier 2, at least one latching hook 12 (preferably the two opposite latching hooks 12 shown) extends. At least one pin 13 (possibly more than one pin 13) also projects from the base 11 in the direction of the contact carrier 2. By means of the at least one latching hook 12, the cover cap 4 is secured to the contact carrier 2 in a captive but movable manner relative to the contact carrier 2. The relative movement between the cover cap 4 and the contact carrier 2 takes place under pretension by means of the at least one compression spring 3 (here in this exemplary embodiment, four compression springs 3), so that tolerance compensation or play between the contact carrier 2 and the cover cap 4 is possible.

  • the play according to the invention or the tolerance compensation according to the invention can take place between the contact carrier 2 and the mating connector 6 when the contact carrier 2 is inserted into the holder 5, this holder 5 being mounted in a stationary manner.
  • tolerance compensation or play between the contact carrier 2 and the mating connector 6 can take place if both the mating connector 6 and the holder 5 are mounted in a stationary manner. This is particularly advantageous if these last two elements are not present are mounted in one and the same place and the two fastening elements can also move slightly towards each other.
  • the cover cap 4 is guided to the contact carrier 2 when these two elements move relative to one another with or against the bias of the at least one compression springs 3.
  • the holder 5 is designed such that it has a rectangular base 14, with two opposing guide rails 15 being arranged on the base 14 in the direction of the cover cap 4.
  • the size of the base 14 of the holder 5 and its guide rails 15 is chosen so that two opposite ends of the base 11 of the cover cap 4 fit into the guide rails
  • the at least one locking hook 12 and the at least one pin 13 of the cover cap 4 are set back on the two opposite ends of the base 11 in such a way that they can be inserted into the guide rails 15 of the holder 5.
  • the holder 5 has at least one pin 16 (in this exemplary embodiment, two obliquely opposite pins 16), which extend upwards from the base 14 from the cover cap 4. With this one at least a pen
