Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Steckkontakt, bestehend aus weiblichem Teil und dazu passendem männlichen Teil und aus einer Einrastvorrichtung mit wenigstens einem auf einer Zunge federnd gehalterten Rastbuckel, welche Zunge am einen Steckteil in dessen Längsrichtung weisend gehaltert ist, und einem Gegenraststück am anderen Steckteil, in das der Rastbuckel der Zunge bei Herstellung der Steckverbindung einrastet.The invention relates to a plug contact, consisting of a female part and a matching male part, and of a latching device with at least one latching boss which is resiliently held on a tongue and which tongue is held pointing on the plug part pointing in the longitudinal direction thereof, and a counter-latching piece on the other plug part. into which the latching boss of the tongue engages when the plug connection is made.

Es sind bereits Steckkontakte dieser Art in der in Figur 1 dargestellten Form vorbekannt. Wie in der Figurenbeschreibung noch näher erläutert, liegt die Zunge jedoch frei und ist mechanischen Beanspruchungen unnötig stark ausgesetzt. Außerdem besteht Verschmutzungsgefahr.Plug contacts of this type are already known in the form shown in Figure 1. As explained in more detail in the description of the figures, however, the tongue is exposed and is unnecessarily exposed to mechanical stresses. There is also a risk of contamination.

Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung ist es, einen Steckkontakt aufzubauen, dessen Steckteile gegen mechanische Beanspruchung und Verschmutzung besser geschützt sind.The object of the present invention is to build a plug contact, the plug parts of which are better protected against mechanical stress and contamination.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Zunge im geschützten Innenraum eines Buchsenkörpers des einen Steckteiles sitzt und das Gegenraststück als einwärts gerichtete Kerbe passend zu einem auf der Zunge entsprechend einwärts zum tragenden Steckteil hin gerichteten Rastbuckel an der Unterseite eines Gegenpaßstückes angebracht ist, welches Gegenpaßstück beim Zusammenstecken von weiblichem und männlichem Steckteil in einen inneren Schlitz des Buchsenkörpers zwischen Zunge und Umfang des tragenden Steckteiles einschiebbar ist, welcher Schlitz in seiner Breite bis auf den auf der Oberseite der Zunge angebrachten Rastbuckel in etwa der Dicke des Gegenpaßstückes entspricht.The object is achieved in that the tongue is seated in the protected interior of a socket body of the one plug-in part and the counter-locking piece is fitted as an inward notch to match a locking boss on the tongue correspondingly inwards towards the load-bearing plug-in part on the underside of a counter-fitting piece, which counter-fitting piece when plugging the female and male plug part into an inner slot of the socket body between the tongue and the circumference of the load-bearing plug part, which slot can be pushed down to the width on the top of the tongue attached locking boss corresponds approximately to the thickness of the mating piece.

Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantages and details of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

Anhand der Zeichnung wird im nachfolgenden die Erfindung im direkten Vergleich mit einem Steckkontakt des Standes der Technik näher beschrieben.Based on the drawing, the invention is described below in a direct comparison with a plug contact of the prior art.

Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 die Ausführungsform des. Standes der Technik,
  • Figur 2 ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Steckkontaktes in Seitenansicht, teilweise im Schnitt,
  • Figur 3 das Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2 in perspektivischer Ansicht.
Show it:
  • 1 shows the embodiment of the prior art,
  • FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a plug contact according to the invention in side view, partly in section,
  • Figure 3 shows the embodiment of Figure 2 in perspective.

In der Figur 1 beinhaltet ein männliches Steckteil 1, das als Steckbuchse-mittels Montageflansch 2 an einem Gerät montierbar ist, einen Buchsenhohlraum 3, in dem sich die Steckstifte 4 befinden. Mit 5 sind die geräteseitigen Anschlüsse der Steckstifte 4 bezeichnet. Das männliche Steckteil 1 ist als Spritzgußteil an der Unterseite des Hohlraumes 3 mit einer Längsnut 6 versehen, in die etwa in Mittenposition vom verdünnten Boden 7 her ein Rastbuckel 8 ragt. Die Höhe der Nut ist mit b angegeben. Passend zum männlichen Teil 1 ist auf der rechten Seite ein weibliches Steckteil 9 als Buchsenstecker am Kopf 10 eines Leitungskabels 11 dargestellt. Die zu den Steckstiften 4 des männlichen Teiles 1 passenden Steckkontakte des weiblichen Teiles sind mit 12 angedeutet. Das an sich kreisförmige weibliche Steckteil 9 ist an der Unterseite flach abgeschnitten. Der Abschnitt ist durch eine in Längsrichtung des Teiles 9 frei verlaufende Zunge 13 ersetzt, die mit einem endständigen Anschlag 14 dicht an der Unterseite des Steckteiles 9 anliegt. Im Mittenteil trägt die Zunge 13ferner einen nach außen, d.h. vom weiblichen Steckteil weggerichteten Rastbuckel 15. Wie eingangs schon erwähnt, ist die freie Rastzunge gegen mechanische Beanspruchung und gegen Verschmutzung nur unzureichend geschützt.In FIG. 1, a male plug-in part 1, which can be mounted on a device as a socket by means of a mounting flange 2, contains a socket cavity 3 in which the plug-in pins 4 are located. 5 with the device-side connections of the pins 4 are designated. The male plug-in part 1 is provided as an injection-molded part on the underside of the cavity 3 with a longitudinal groove 6, into which a locking boss 8 protrudes from the thinned bottom 7 approximately in the middle position. The height of the groove is indicated by b. Matching the male part 1, a female plug part 9 is shown on the right side as a socket plug on the head 10 of a cable 11. The plug contacts of the female part matching the plug pins 4 of the male part 1 are indicated by 12. The circular female plug 9 is abge flat on the bottom cut. The section is replaced by a tongue 13 which runs freely in the longitudinal direction of part 9 and abuts with a terminal stop 14 close to the underside of plug-in part 9. In the middle part, the tongue 13 also carries an outward protrusion 15 which faces away from the female plug-in part. As already mentioned at the beginning, the free catch tongue is only insufficiently protected against mechanical stress and against contamination.

Demgegenüber erlaubt die Erfindung gemäß den Figuren 2 und 3 eine optimale Absicherung der Zunge. So umfaßt der Steckkontakt der Figuren 2 und 3 wieder ein männliches Teil 16, das diesmal jedoch als Steckbuchse am Kabelkopf 17 des Leitungskabels 18 angeordnet ist. Im Buchsenhohlraum 19 des männlichen Steckteiles 16 befinden sich wieder Steckstifte 20. Die an sich runde Buchse des männlichen Steckteiles 16 ist am unteren Teil abgeflacht; die dortige dünnere Wandung 21 besitzt an der Unterseite eine einwärts gerichtete Kerbe 22. Die Wandstärke der Wand 21 ist mit B angegeben. Das passende weibliche Steckteil sitzt ebenfalls in einem Buchsenkörper 23, der wieder mittels Montageflansch 24 über Montagelöcher 25 (Verschrauben od.dgl.) an einem Gerät montierbar ist. Es trägt die Kennziffer 27 und bildet zusammen mit dem äußeren Buchsenkörper 23 unter Freilassung von Innenraum 26 ein einziges Spritzgußteil nach Art eines Koaxstückes. Die Steckkontakte des weiblichen Steckteiles 27 für die Steckstifte 20 des männlichen Steckteiles 16 sind mit 28 bezeichnet. Sie haben geräteseitige Anschlüsse 29. Das ebenfalls an sich runde weibliche Steckteil 27 ist an der Unterseite wieder abgeflacht. Um eine Schlitzbreite B unterhalb der Abflachung verläuft in Längsrichtung des Steckteiles 27 im Hohlraum 26 des Buchsenkörpers 23, gegen äußere mechanische Beanspruchung und-gegen Verschmutzung optimal geschützt, eine langgestreckte integrierte Kunststoffzunge 30, die diesmal einen einwärts, also zum Umfang des Steckteiles 27 hin, gerichteten Rastbuckel 31 und einen auswärts geriehteten Anschlag 32 umfaßt. Die langgestreckte Kunststoffzunge ist also zwischen zwei entfernten Punkten fixiert, was langanhaltende Elastizität ohne Ermüdungserscheinungen der Federkraft garantiert. Der Schlitz ist mit 33 bezeichnet. Beim Anstecken des männlichen Steckteiles am weiblichen schiebt sich die männliche Buchse 16 im Buchsenhohlraum 26 der weiblichen Buchse 23 über das weibliche Steckteil 27. Hierdurch werden einerseits die Steckstifte 20 des männlichen Teiles 16 in die Steckkontakte 28.des weiblichen Teiles eingeschoben. Andererseits dringt auch die untere abgeflachte Wand 21 des männlichen Steckteiles 16 in den Schlitz 33 zwischen unterer Abflachstelle des weiblichen Steckteiles 27 und der Zunge 30 ein. Der Einschub erfolgt glatt ohne Gegenwiderstand. Sobald die Außenwand des männlichen SteckTeiles den Rastbuckel 31 der Zunge 30 des weiblichen Steckteiles erreicht, wird die Zunge samt Buckel 31 elastisch nach unten gedrückt, so lange, bis sich die Eerbe 22 des männlichen Steckteiles am Ort des Rastbuckels 31 der Zunge 30 des weiblichen Steckteiles befindet. Der Rastbuckel 31 rastet dann mit hörbar hellem Klang in die Kerbe 22 ein. Die Rastverbindung ist hergestellt.In contrast, the invention according to Figures 2 and 3 allows optimal protection of the tongue. The plug contact of FIGS. 2 and 3 again comprises a male part 16, but this time it is arranged as a socket on the cable head 17 of the line cable 18. In the socket cavity 19 of the male plug-in part 16 there are again pins 20. The round socket of the male plug-in part 16 is flattened on the lower part; the thinner wall 21 there has an inward notch 22 on the underside. The wall thickness of the wall 21 is indicated by B. The matching female plug-in part is also seated in a socket body 23, which can again be mounted on a device by means of a mounting flange 24 via mounting holes 25 (screwing or the like). It bears the reference number 27 and, together with the outer socket body 23, leaves a single injection molded part in the manner of a coaxial piece, leaving the interior 26 free. The plug contacts of the female plug part 27 for the plug pins 20 of the male plug part 16 are designated 28. They have connections 29 on the device side. The female plug 27, which is also round per se, is flattened again on the underside. A slot width B below the flattening extends in the longitudinal direction of the plug-in part 27 in the cavity 26 of the socket body 23, against external mechanical stress and against contamination optimally protected, an elongated integrated plastic tongue 30, which this time comprises an inward, ie towards the circumference of the plug-in part 27, locking boss 31 and an outwardly directed stop 32. The elongated plastic tongue is thus fixed between two distant points, which guarantees long-lasting elasticity without any signs of fatigue from the spring force. The slot is designated 33. When the male plug-in part is plugged into the female, the male socket 16 slides in the socket cavity 26 of the female socket 23 over the female plug-in part 27. As a result, the plug-in pins 20 of the male part 16 are inserted into the plug contacts 28 of the female part. On the other hand, the lower flattened wall 21 of the male plug-in part 16 also penetrates into the slot 33 between the lower flat point of the female plug-in part 27 and the tongue 30. The insertion is smooth with no resistance. As soon as the outer wall of the male plug-in part reaches the locking boss 31 of the tongue 30 of the female plug-in part, the tongue together with the hump 31 is pressed elastically down until the Eerbe 22 of the male plug-in part is at the location of the locking boss 31 of the tongue 30 of the female plug-in part located. The locking hump 31 then snaps into the notch 22 with an audibly bright sound. The locking connection is established.

Durch die Erfindung ist also nicht nur leichtgängige, mechanisch und verschmutzungsmäßig kaum beanspruchte Zusammensteckbarkeit bei hoher Rastsicherung gewährleistet; der helle Einrastklang zeigt zudem dem Benutzer an, daß die Steckverbindung korrekt hergestellt ist. Bei den Ausführungsbeispielen der Figuren 2 und 3 befindet sich in Umkehr zum bekannten Stecker der Figur 1 das weibliche Teil am Gerät, während das männliche Steckteil am Kabelkopf angeordnet ist. Damit ist besserer Berührschutz auf der Seite des Gerätes gegen z.B. im Störungsfall anliegende hohe Spannung gegeben. Der Steckkontakt wird damit insgesamt besser gegen eventuelle Gefahr abgesichert.The invention therefore ensures not only smooth, mechanically and pollution-free assembly, with a high level of locking; the bright click sound also indicates to the user that the plug connection has been made correctly. In the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3, the female part on the device, while the male part, is reversed from the known plug of FIG Plug part is arranged on the cable head. This provides better protection against accidental contact on the side of the device against high voltage, for example in the event of a fault. The plug contact is thus better protected against possible danger overall.

Die Abflachung 21 des männlichen Buchsenkörpers 16 und jene des weiblichen Steckteiles 27 der weiblichen Buchse 23 erlauben bereits nach rein optischen Gesichtspunkten eine eindeutige Zuordnung beider Steckteile. Dennoch trägt im Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 2 und 3 der weibliche Steckkörper 27 an seinem Umfang auch noch zwei Längsnuten 34 und 35, zu denen Nutstege 36 und 37 an der Innenwandung des männlichen Körpers 16 passen. Diese Nut/Stegkombinationen gewährleisten je nach Ausbildurg und Anordnung zusätzliche Zuordnung eines weiblichen Kontaktteiles zu einem zugehörigen männlichen Kontaktteil.Die in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellte Anordnung ist lediglich exemplarisch. Für andere Stecker desselben Aufbaues,aber mit anderen Funktionen, ergeben sich andere Nut/Steganordnungen.The flattening 21 of the male socket body 16 and that of the female plug part 27 of the female socket 23 already allow a clear assignment of both plug parts from a purely optical point of view. Nevertheless, in the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 2 and 3, the female plug-in body 27 also has two longitudinal grooves 34 and 35 on its circumference, to which groove webs 36 and 37 fit on the inner wall of the male body 16. Depending on the educator and arrangement, these groove / web combinations ensure additional assignment of a female contact part to an associated male contact part. The arrangement shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is only exemplary. For other plugs of the same structure, but with different functions, there are different groove / web arrangements.
