These parts (2, 3) are movable relative to each other, perpendicular to the plugging-in direction (K) of a contact part (6). A contact part (6) is locked to the or with the inner housing part (3) when the housing parts (2, 3) are assembled. When the housing parts (2, 3) are moved towards each other into a locking position, the contact part (6) locks with the outer part (3). To establish the assembly position, the inner housing part (2) is moved in a direction (S) which is oriented perpendicular to the direction (T) for establishing the locking position. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem elektrischen Stecker gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein solcher Stecker ist aus der DE 3735205 C2 bekannt. Es handelt sich um einen elektrischen Stecker mit einer Doppelverriegelung. Ein inneres Gehäuseteil in Form einer Schublade wird in einer Montagestellung in ein äußeres Gehäuseteil eingeführt und verrastet. In dieser Stellung wird die Schublade mit Kontaktteilen bestückt und anschließend zusammen mit den Kontaktteilen in eine Verriegelungsstellung verschoben. Es hat sich als nachteilig herausgestellt, daß die Schublade zweimal in die gleiche Richtung verschoben wird. Bei der Verrastung der Schublade in der Montagestellung kann bei nur geringfügiger Überschreitung des vorgesehenen Kraftaufwandes die erste Verrastung überfahren werden und sofort die Verriegelungsstellung erreicht werden. Die notwendige Korrektur, der Rückschub in die Montagestellung, unterbricht den Montageablauf und behindert den Bestückungsprozeß erheblich.Such a connector is known from DE 3735205 C2. It is an electrical connector with a double lock. An inner housing part in the form of a drawer is inserted into an outer housing part and locked in an assembly position. In this position, the drawer is equipped with contact parts and then moved together with the contact parts into a locking position. It has been found to be disadvantageous that the drawer is moved twice in the same direction. When the drawer is locked in the assembly position, the first locking can be overrun and the locking position can be reached immediately if the force required is only slightly exceeded. The necessary correction, the push back into the assembly position, interrupts the assembly process and considerably hinders the assembly process.

In dem G 8910905 wurde zur eindeutigen Unterscheidung der Montage- bzw. Verriegelungsstellung eine zweistufige, ansteigende Verschiebekräfte erfordernde Rastvorrichtung ausgebildet. Nachteilig ist hier jedoch auch, daß die Schublade zweimal in die gleiche Richtung verschoben wird, und daß bei manueller Betätigung der Schublade die Unterscheidung zwischen den beiden Stellungen vom subjektiven Kraftempfinden des Monteurs abhängt.In the G 8910905, a two-stage locking device requiring increasing displacement forces was designed to clearly differentiate between the mounting and locking positions. However, it is also disadvantageous here that the drawer is moved twice in the same direction, and that when the drawer is operated manually, the distinction between the two positions depends on the subjective sense of force of the mechanic.

Aus dem G 92 10 736 ist ein mehrpoliger elektrischer Steckverbinder bekannt, dessen Gehäusehälften in Steckrichtung der Kontaktteile zusammengeführt und erstmalig verrastet werden, um dann in dieser Vorverriegelungsstellung mit den Kontaktteilen bestückt zu werden. Eine der Gehäusehälften wird anschließend zur Zweitverriegelung der Kontaktteile senkrecht zur Steckachse um ein vorgegebenes, geradliniges Wegstück relativ zur anderen Gehäusehälfte in eine endgültige
Verriegelungsstellung verschoben. Das Zusammenführen der Gehäusehälften ist schwierig, da vorhandene Führungsvorrichtungen das erstmalige Positionieren der Gehäusehälften zueinander unzureichend unterstützen. Darüber hinaus stellen die von den Gehäusehälften abstehenden Rast- und Führungsmittel Angriffspunkte für Verhakungen und Beschädigungen dar, die den reibungslosen Ablauf des Montageprozesses beeinträchtigen.From G 92 10 736 a multi-pole electrical connector is known, the housing halves of which are brought together in the plug-in direction of the contact parts and locked for the first time, in order then to be fitted with the contact parts in this pre-locking position. One of the housing halves is then used for the second locking of the contact parts perpendicular to the thru-axis by a predetermined, linear path relative to the other housing half into a final one
Locked position shifted. Bringing together the housing halves is difficult because existing guiding devices do not adequately support the first positioning of the housing halves with respect to one another. In addition, the locking and guiding means protruding from the housing halves represent points of attack for hooking and damage, which impair the smooth running of the assembly process.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektrischen Stecker nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 so weiterzugestalten, daß dessen Gehäuseteile montagefreundlich ausgebildet sind, wobei insbesondere ein unbeabsichtigtes oder vorzeitiges Verschieben der Gehäuseteile von einer Montagestellung in eine Verriegelungsstellung verhindert werden soll.The invention is therefore based on the object, an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1 so that its housing parts are easy to assemble, in particular an unintentional or premature displacement of the housing parts from an assembly position to a locking position to be prevented.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.This object is achieved with the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die Erfindung stellt sicher, daß die Gehäuseteile erst in eine eindeutig definierte Montagestellung zueinander gebracht werden, um anschließend mit Kontaktteilen bestückt werden zu können. Dabei wird das innere Gehäuseteil bis zum Anschlag in das äußere Gehäuseteil eingeführt. Um das innere Gehäuseteil nach der Kontaktteilbestückung in die Verriegelungsstellung zu überführen, ist eine anders gerichtete Bewegung notwendig. Die bisher unsichere Unterscheidung der beiden Stellungen anhand des Kraftaufwandes entfällt. Außerdem ist die jeweilige Stellung des inneren Gehäuseteiles deutlich durch Fenster im äußeren Gehäuseteil zu erkennen. Die Überführung des inneren Gehäuseteiles in die Verriegelungsstellung ist nur möglich, wenn die Kontaktteile in den entsprechenden Kontaktkammern richtig positioniert sind, so daß in der Verriegelungsstellung letztendlich die korrekte Verrastung der Kontaktteile, also die Doppelverriegelung, sichergestellt ist.The invention ensures that the housing parts are first brought into a clearly defined assembly position in order to be able to be subsequently fitted with contact parts. The inner housing part is inserted into the outer housing part until it stops. In order to move the inner housing part into the locking position after the contact part has been fitted, a different directional movement is necessary. The previously uncertain distinction between the two positions based on the effort required is no longer required. In addition, the respective position of the inner housing part can be clearly seen through windows in the outer housing part. The transfer of the inner housing part into the locking position is only possible if the contact parts are correctly positioned in the corresponding contact chambers, so that in the locking position the correct locking of the contact parts, that is to say the double locking, is ultimately ensured.

Darüber hinaus werden beide Gehäuseteile in ihrer Bewegung durch Führungsvorrichtungen unterstützt. In beiden Stellungen erfolgt eine Verrastung, sobald das innere Gehäuseteil an der entsprechenden Wand des äußeren Gehäuseteils anschlägt.In addition, both housing parts are supported in their movement by guide devices. In both positions, it locks as soon as the inner housing part strikes the corresponding wall of the outer housing part.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles unter Zuhilfenahme der Zeichnungen erläutert.

Die Figuren 1 bis 5 zeigen einen elektrischen Stecker 1, in dessen äußeres Gehäuse 2 ein inneres Gehäuseteil in Form einer Schublade 3 eingeschoben ist und sich in einer Montagestellung befindet. Der elektrische Stecker 1 ist in einem vergrößerten Maßstab dargestellt.Figures 1 to 5 show an electrical connector 1, in the outer housing 2, an inner housing part is inserted in the form of a drawer 3 and is in an assembly position. The electrical connector 1 is shown on an enlarged scale.

In dem äußeren Gehäuseteil 2 und in der Schublade 3 sind fluchtende Kammern, Gehäusekammern 4 und Schubladenkammern 5, angeordnet. In diese Kammern 4 und 5 werden von unten, in Richtung K gesehen, Kontaktteile 6 eingeschoben, von denen nur der vordere als Steckkontakt ausgebildete Teil 6a dargestellt ist (Figur 4 und 5). Das Wiederaustreten des Kontaktteiles 6 wird durch eine vordere Gehäusewand 7 verhindert. In der Gehäusewand 7 ist eine kleine Öffnung 8 zur Aufnahme eines nicht dargestellten Gegensteckers vorgesehen, der mit dem Kontaktteil 6 verbindbar ist. Das Kontaktteil 6 hat einen Widerhaken 9, der hinter einem Vorsprung 10 in der Schublade 3 verrastet. Eine Stufe 11 des Gehäuses 2 greift hinter den vorderen Teil 6a des Kontaktteiles 6 und bildet eine weitere, nämlich die zweite Verrastung, des Kontaktteiles 6 mit dem Gehäuse 2 (Figur 7).Aligning chambers, housing chambers 4 and drawer chambers 5, are arranged in the outer housing part 2 and in the drawer 3. In these chambers 4 and 5, seen from below, in the direction K, contact parts 6 are inserted, of which only the front part 6a designed as a plug contact is shown (FIGS. 4 and 5). A front housing wall 7 prevents the contact part 6 from emerging again. In the housing wall 7 there is a small opening 8 for receiving a mating connector, not shown, which can be connected to the contact part 6. The contact part 6 has a barb 9, which latches behind a projection 10 in the drawer 3. A step 11 of the housing 2 engages behind the front part 6a of the contact part 6 and forms a further, namely the second latching, of the contact part 6 with the housing 2 (FIG. 7).

Die Herstellung der einzelnen Verrastungen ist im folgenden Text beschrieben. Zunächst wird die Schublade 3 in Richtung S in eine entsprechende Aufnahmekammer 12 des Gehäuses 2 bis zum Anschlagen der Schublade 3 an eine Gehäuseseitenwand 13 eingeschoben. Um das Einschieben zu unterstützen und die richtige Positionierung der Schublade 3 in der Aufnahmekammer 12 zu gewährleisten, ist eine Nase 14 an der Schublade 3 ausgebildet, die in einer Nut 15 des Gehäuses 2 geführt wird (Figur 5a). Außerdem verhindert diese Führung, daß die Schublade 3 vorab in die Verriegelungsstellung verschoben wird. Zur Aufrechterhaltung der Montagestellung greifen weitere an der Schublade 3 ausgebildete Nasen 16 in entsprechende senkrecht zur ersten Führung orientierte Nuten 17 des Gehäuses 2 (Figur 4). In dieser Stellung kann das Gehäuse 2 mit der Schublade 3 vormontiert sein und zur Bestückung mit Kontaktteilen 6 angeliefert werden. Hierzu werden die Kontaktteile 6 in Richtung K in die Schublade 3 eingeschoben und verrasten hinter dem Vorsprung 10.The manufacture of the individual catches is described in the following text. First, the drawer 3 is pushed in the direction S into a corresponding receiving chamber 12 of the housing 2 until the drawer 3 strikes a housing side wall 13. In order to support the insertion and to ensure the correct positioning of the drawer 3 in the receiving chamber 12, a nose 14 is formed on the drawer 3, which is guided in a groove 15 in the housing 2 (FIG. 5a). In addition, this guide prevents the drawer 3 from being moved into the locking position beforehand. To maintain the mounting position, further lugs 16 formed on the drawer 3 engage in corresponding grooves 17 of the housing 2 oriented perpendicular to the first guide (FIG. 4). In this position, the housing 2 can be preassembled with the drawer 3 and can be delivered for fitting with contact parts 6. For this purpose, the contact parts 6 are pushed into the drawer 3 in the direction K and lock behind the projection 10.

Dann wird die Schublade 3 in Richtung T, senkrecht zur Richtung S und Richtung K verschoben, um die Verriegelungsstellung zu erreichen.Then the drawer 3 is moved in the direction T, perpendicular to the direction S and direction K to reach the locking position.

Hierzu ist in einer Gehäusewand 18 ein Fenster 19 vorgesehen, durch das der Monteur oder ein Maschinenteil die Schublade 3 in Richtung T bis zum Anschlagen an eine Gehäusewand 20 verschieben kann. Hierzu wird unter geringem Kraftaufwand die Nase 14 aus der Nut 15 gedrückt, so daß die Schublade 3 unterstützt durch die jetzt als Führung dienende Nase 16 und Nut 17 an die Gehäusewand 20 in die Verriegelungsstellung gedrückt wird. Die Nase 14 sichert diese Position, in dem sie in einer Ausnehmung 21 des Gehäuses 2 verrastet (Figur 7a).For this purpose, a window 19 is provided in a housing wall 18, through which the fitter or a machine part can move the drawer 3 in the direction T until it strikes a housing wall 20. For this purpose, the lug 14 is pressed out of the groove 15 with little effort, so that the drawer 3, supported by the lug 16 and groove 17 now serving as a guide, is pressed against the housing wall 20 into the locking position. The nose 14 secures this position by latching in a recess 21 in the housing 2 (FIG. 7a).

Gleichzeitig hat sich das Kontaktteil 6 in der Schublade 3 hinter die Stufe 11 des Gehäuses 2 verschoben, so daß sich eine zweite Verrastung des Kontaktteiles 6 ergibt (Figur 7). Die erste Verrastung des Kontaktteiles 6 erfolgt also in der Schublade 3, die zweite Verrastung gegen das Gehäuse 2.At the same time, the contact part 6 has moved in the drawer 3 behind the step 11 of the housing 2, so that there is a second latching of the contact part 6 (FIG. 7). The first locking of the contact part 6 thus takes place in the drawer 3, the second locking against the housing 2.

Die Montage- und Verriegelungsstellung der Schublade 3, siehe Figur 5 und 7, eignet sich sowohl für die manuelle als auch für eine maschinelle Bestückung des Gehäuses 2 mit Kontaktteilen 6. Besonders vorteilhaft sind die unterschiedlichen Bewegungsrichtungen zum Ein- bzw. Überführen der Schublade 3 in die Montage- und Verriegelungsstellung, da diese Vorgänge deutlich, d. h. sowohl visuell als auch manuell, differenzierbar sind.The mounting and locking position of the drawer 3, see FIGS. 5 and 7, is suitable both for the manual and for the mechanical equipping of the housing 2 with contact parts 6. The different directions of movement for inserting or transferring the drawer 3 in are particularly advantageous the assembly and locking position, since these processes can be clearly differentiated, ie both visually and manually.
