Description

Plug with a locking mechanism
Technical Field
The invention relates to a plug for electrically connecting at least two plug contact elements with at least two mating plug contact elements of a mating plug.
Background
A plug of this type is known in advance, for example, from DE 102007032782 a 1. The plug has an array of contact chambers in which plug contact elements are located. The plug contact element is initially locked in the contact chamber by means of the latching hook. In addition, so-called secondary locking elements are introduced into the contact chamber perpendicularly to the plugging direction of the plug, which secondary locking elements hold the plug contact elements in the contact chamber when the primary locking element is inadvertently released. The secondary locking element is designed here as a separate element which has to be produced in particular.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a plug for electrically connecting at least two plug contact elements with at least two mating plug contact elements of a mating plug, which plug can be advantageously manufactured.
According to the invention, this object is achieved by a plug according to claim 1. Embodiments of the invention result from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.
Accordingly, the invention comprises a plug for electrically connecting at least two plug contact elements with at least two mating plug contact elements of a mating plug by introducing the plug into the mating plug in a plugging direction of the plug. The plug has: a first housing element with a first locking element and a first contact chamber in which a first plug contact element is arranged; and a second housing element with a second locking element and a second contact chamber in which a second plug contact element is arranged. According to the invention, two housing elements can be connected to one another in the following manner: the first locking element engages behind the back recess of the second plug contact element and the second locking element engages behind the back recess of the first plug contact element in order to lock the plug contact elements once.
When it is said within the scope of the present disclosure that the "locking element engages behind the back recess", then this may be understood in particular as: the locking element is located behind the undercut, viewed against the plug-in direction of the plug, so that the plug contact element abuts against the locking element when an attempt is made to pull the plug contact element out of its contact chamber. In other words, the two housing elements can be connected to one another in the following manner: so that the first locking element locks the second plug contact element and the second locking element locks the first plug contact element a second time. Since the secondary locking is achieved without the need for an additional separate element, the manufacturing cost is reduced.
In some embodiments, the first housing element and the second housing element are configured for being connected to each other by a movement substantially perpendicular to the plugging direction. The locking direction of the secondary locking of the plug contact element in its contact chamber can thereby extend substantially perpendicularly to the plug direction. The locking element can be simply pushed in the direction of the plug contact element in such a way that the plug contact element is locked again when the two housing elements are connected to one another.
The plug contact elements preferably each comprise: a first part having a first cross section extending perpendicular to the plugging direction; and a second part having a second cross section extending perpendicularly to the plugging direction. The second part is connected to the first part opposite the plug-in direction, the first cross section being larger than the second cross section. In this way, the first part provides a back recess which abuts against the locking element when an attempt is made to pull the plug contact element out of its contact chamber counter to the plugging direction.
The first locking element and/or the second locking element can be designed, for example, as a projection which extends away from the first or second housing element substantially perpendicularly to the plugging direction in order to engage behind a recess of the plug contact element to be locked for locking. The projection can have a u-shaped recess for at least partially surrounding the second part of the plug contact element to be locked on three sides of the plug contact element. By means of this u-shaped recess, the plug contact element can also be supported better, so that a more reliable secondary locking can be achieved.
Preferably, the first housing element has a first opening (e.g. a first slit), through which the second locking element can engage into the first contact chamber. Correspondingly, the second housing element can have a second opening (e.g., a second slit) through which the first locking element engages into the second contact chamber when the first housing element and the second housing element are connected to one another. The openings correspond to respective locking elements. Each of the housing elements mentioned preferably has, on the one hand: a mechanism for secondary locking of the plug contact element in the further housing element, and a mechanism which enables the locking element of the further housing element to be pushed into the contact chamber of the further housing element itself, in order to secondary lock the plug contact element located therein.
In some embodiments, the plug has a pre-detent position and a final detent position. In the pre-latching position, the first housing element and the second housing element are pre-latched to one another, but the locking element is not yet engaged behind the undercut of the plug contact element. In the pre-latching position, the two housing elements have been temporarily plugged together. The plug contact element can also be easily inserted into the corresponding contact chamber. In the final detent position, the first housing element and the second housing element are connected to one another in the following manner: the first locking element engages behind the recessed portion of the second plug contact element and the second locking element engages behind the back recessed portion of the first plug contact element. The plug contact element is locked in its contact chamber in the following manner: the plug contact element can no longer be easily removed from the contact chamber.
The preliminary detent position and the final detent position can be realized, for example, by detent lugs which engage in the preliminary detent grooves in the preliminary detent position and engage in the final detent grooves in the final detent position. Accordingly, the first housing element can have a first detent lug which engages in a pre-detent groove of the second housing element in the pre-detent position and engages in a final detent groove of the second housing element in the final detent position. Alternatively, a detent lug can also be arranged on the second housing element, which detent lug in each case latches into a detent recess of the first housing element in the preliminary latching position and latches into a final latching recess of the first housing element in the final latching position. Preferably, the preliminary detent groove and the final detent groove are each naturally arranged in the following manner: finally the detent groove follows the pre-detent groove in the locking direction. As already mentioned above, the locking direction preferably extends substantially perpendicularly to the plugging direction. The detent lug, the preliminary detent groove and the final detent groove can each have a spindle which can extend, for example, parallel to the plugging direction.
Each of the plug contact elements can be designed as a load plug contact element for transmitting a load current or as a signal plug contact element for transmitting a signal current. The voltage and the current to be transmitted are naturally much higher for the load plug contact element than in the signal plug contact element. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the first plug contact element is designed as a load plug contact element and the second plug contact element is designed as a signal plug contact element. This construction scheme enables a so-called high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL). For safety reasons, such high-voltage interlock circuits are necessary in the automotive field for high-voltage plugs which are designed, for example, for voltages of 300V to 600V. Examples of DE 102007010515B 3 are known. The high-pressure interlock loop facilitates: the plug connector can only be disconnected under no load, i.e. when the load plug contact elements of the plug connector are under voltage, it is not possible for the plug connector to be disconnected. In order to ensure this, a safety device is usually provided which interrupts the current supply through the load plug contact element already before the plug is unplugged. For this purpose, so-called advanced signal plug contacts are generally used, which are first opened when the plug is unplugged. As soon as the signal plug contact elements are separated, this process is evaluated by the control device as a switch-off signal and the load circuit is interrupted by means of a suitable power switch (for example a relay or a semiconductor power switch).
Generally, the first housing element will have a first plug surface and the second housing element will have a second plug surface. In particular, when the first plug contact element is designed as a load plug contact element and the second plug contact element is designed as a signal plug contact element, the first plug face can project relative to the second plug face in the plugging direction. The operating element then preferably extends in the plugging direction away from the second plug surface. The operating element can, for example, terminate flush with the first plug surface. With this arrangement, it is easily possible to realize: when the plug connection is disconnected, the signal plug contact element is earlier than the load plug contact element, so that when the plug is unplugged, the signal circuit is first disconnected, so that disconnection of the load circuit can be achieved. Due to the operating element, the two housing elements can be locked to one another in the fully installed state of the plug despite the first plug surface projecting forward.
In one embodiment, the first housing element has a housing element and a cover element. A first contact chamber is arranged in the housing element. The cover element is attached to the housing element in order to exert a pressure on a damping element made of an elastic material, which surrounds the first plug contact element, in the state in which the plug is connected to the mating plug. The damping element seeks to avoid pressure and presses against the first plug contact element in such a way that vibrations of the first plug contact element in the first contact chamber are damped. Due to the low tendency to vibrate, very low fretting corrosion occurs between the first plug contact element and the first mating plug contact element, since there is little relative movement between the two. This embodiment is advantageous in particular for high-voltage plugs for electric motors, since high-voltage plugs transmit high currents and at the same time are subjected to great shock loads.
The invention is of course not limited to embodiments in which the housing elements each have only one contact chamber and thus only one plug contact element. But the housing element can of course have a plurality of contact chambers in order to be able to receive a plurality of plug contact elements. In one embodiment, the first housing element has, for example, two first contact chambers in each of which a first plug contact element is arranged. The second housing element can also have two contact chambers, wherein in each case a second plug contact element is arranged.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the first housing element. The first housing element 1 has a housing part 2 and a cover part 3. On the first housing element 1, a first locking element 4 is arranged, which first locking element 4 is situated below two first openings 5, which openings provide access to a first contact chamber situated behind them. The first locking element 4 is designed here as a projection which extends perpendicularly to the plugging direction S of the plug. On the side wall 6, the first housing element 1 has a preliminary latching groove 7 and a final latching groove 8. Corresponding preliminary and final detent recesses are also present on the opposite side walls. The slot is not visible based on the selected viewing angle in fig. 1. The preliminary latching groove 7 and also the final latching groove 8 have a main axis which runs parallel to the plugging direction S.
Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a second housing element 9, which second housing element 9 has a second locking element 10, which second locking element 10 is divided by a slot 11 and has two u-shaped recesses 12. The second locking element 10 on the other hand extends perpendicularly to the plugging direction S of the plug. Below the second locking element 10, a second opening 13 is arranged, through which second opening 13 the first locking element 4 can be inserted into a second contact chamber 14. On the side wall 15, the second housing element 9 has a detent lug 16, the main axis of which extends parallel to the plug-in direction S. When the first housing element 1 and the second housing element 9 are connected to one another, the detent lugs 16 can first engage into the preliminary detent grooves 7 and then into the final detent grooves 8. The second housing element 9 has a second plug surface 17, from which second plug surface 17 an operating element 18 extends in the plugging direction. The operating element 18 can be used to bring the second housing element 9 into a final detent position in the assembled state of the plug, in which the detent lugs 16 detent into the final detent grooves 8.
As shown in fig. 3a, the housing element 2 and the second housing element 9 are configured for being connected to one another by a movement perpendicular to the plugging direction S. Fig. 3b shows the housing element 2 and the second housing element 9 in the pre-latching position, in which the latching lugs 16 engage in the pre-latching grooves 7. By means of a movement in the locking direction R, the second housing element 9 is brought into the final detent position shown in fig. 3 c.
In fig. 4a, the state of fig. 3b is again shown from the cable exit side. This corresponds to a bottom view in the orientation according to fig. 3 b. In this way, the first contact chamber 19 in the housing element 2 and the second contact chamber 14 in the second housing element 9 are particularly evident in fig. 4 a. The two housing elements are in their pre-latching position relative to one another, so that the first contact chamber 19 can be equipped with two first plug contact elements 20 and the two second contact chambers 14 can be equipped with two second plug contact elements 21, as is shown in fig. 4 b. In the pre-latching position, the first and second plug contact elements 20, 21 are not yet locked again. This locking is firstly achieved in the final detent position shown in fig. 4c by displacing the second housing element 9 in the locking direction R. In the final detent position, the first locking element 4 is located behind the undercut of the second plug contact element 21, and the second locking element 10 is located behind the undercut of the first plug contact element 20. Thereby, the first and second plug contact elements 20, 21 are locked a second time.
The secondary locking of the first plug contact element 20 is again shown in detail in fig. 5. The first plug contact element 20 is designed as a load plug contact element. The first plug contact elements 20 each have: a first section T1 with a first cross section extending perpendicularly to the plugging direction S and a second section T2 with a second cross section extending perpendicularly to the plugging direction S. The second part T2 is connected to the first part T1 counter to the plugging direction S. As clearly shown in fig. 5, the first cross-section is significantly larger than the second cross-section, so that the first component T1 provides the back recess H. The second locking element 10 of the second housing element 9 engages behind the back recess H. The u-shaped recess 12 of the second locking element 10 partially surrounds the second section T2 of the first plug contact element 20 on three sides, so that when the first plug contact element 20 is pulled out counter to the plugging direction S, it comes into contact with the second locking element 10. In this way, the first plug contact element 20 is locked twice.
Fig. 6 shows the secondary locking of the second plug contact element 21. The second plug contact element 21 is designed as a signal plug contact element for transmitting a signal current and has: a first section T1 with a first cross section extending perpendicularly to the plugging direction S and a second section T2 with a second cross section extending perpendicularly to the plugging direction S. The second part T2 is connected to the first part T1 counter to the plugging direction S. Here, the first cross-section of the first component T1 is greater than the second cross-section T2, so that the first component T1 provides the back recess H. The first locking element 4 of the housing element 2 engages behind the undercut H, so that the second plug contact element 21 can no longer be pulled out of the second contact chamber 14 counter to the plug direction S.
Fig. 7 shows the first housing element 1 and the second housing element 9 together with the first shield 22 and the second shield 23 in an exploded view. In the first contact chamber 19 of the housing element 2, a damping element 24 made of an elastic material is arranged around the first plug contact element 20. The cover element 3 with the first plug surface 17' is attached to the housing element 2 in such a way that the cover element 3 exerts a pressure on the damping element 24 in the state of the plug being connected to the mating plug, so that the damping element fixes the first plug contact element 20 elastically in the first contact chamber 19, as a result of which vibrations of the first plug contact element 20 in the first contact chamber 19 are damped. As a result, less movement occurs between the first plug contact element 20 and the mating plug contact element, so that fretting corrosion is reduced. The contact resistance of the plug connection may increase due to fretting corrosion, which may lead to malfunction or even to a fire. The embodiment shown with the damping element 24 is advantageous in particular for high-voltage plugs arranged in electric motors, since here at the same time high currents have to be transmitted and the plug is subjected to large vibration loads.
In fig. 8, the elements of fig. 7 are shown in an assembled state, wherein the first housing element 1 and the second housing element 9 are in the pre-latching position. In the pre-latching position, the first plug contact element 20 and the second plug contact element 21 can be introduced into the contact chamber without problems.
After successful installation of the components shown in fig. 8, the embodiment of the plug 25 according to the invention shown in fig. 9 is obtained. This plug 25 is again shown by the side in fig. 10. This plug can be introduced into a mating plug 26 illustrated in fig. 11, so that an electrical connection is formed between the plug contact elements 20, 21 and the mating plug contact element 27. In fig. 12 plug 25 is again visible in the inserted state in mating plug 26.
The explanations made with reference to the drawings are to be understood as purely illustrative and non-limiting. In the illustrated embodiment, numerous modifications can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
