Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kabelsteckverbinder, insbesondere einem mehrpoligen Kabelsteckverbinder, gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cable connector, in particular a multi-pole Cable connector, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 295 12 585 U1 ist ein Leiteranschlußelement (Kabelsteckverbinder) bekannt. Dieses Leiteranschlußelement besteht aus einer Überwurfmutter, durch die ein mehradriges Kabel durchgeführt wird. Die Kabeladern des Kabels, die nicht abisoliert werden müssen, werden mit ihren Enden in Aufnahmeöffnungen in einem Isolierstück eingeführt, wodurch die Enden der Kabeladern aus der Längsrichtung ausgelenkt werden. Danach wird das Isolierstück mittels eines Gehäuseflansches mit der Überwurfmutter verbunden, wobei bei dieser Montage Schneidklemmen, die fest in dem Gehäuseflansch angeordnet sind, in Verbindung kommen mit den Enden der Kabeladern. Dabei durchdringen die Schneidklemmen die äußere Isolierung der Kabeladern und stellen somit einen elektrischen Kontakt her.From DE 295 12 585 U1 a conductor connection element (cable connector) is known. This conductor connection element consists of a union nut through which a multi-core cable is carried out. The cable cores of the cable that are not stripped need to be, with their ends in receiving openings in an insulating piece introduced, whereby the ends of the cable cores deflected from the longitudinal direction become. Then the insulating piece is connected to the by means of a housing flange Connected union nut, with this assembly insulation displacement clamps, which are firmly in the Housing flange are arranged, come into contact with the ends of the cable cores. The insulation displacement terminals penetrate the outer insulation of the cable wires and thus make an electrical contact.

Es hat sich herausgestellt, daß insbesondere das Isolierstück nur sehr schwierig und aufwendig zu fertigen ist. Da dieses Isolierstück elektrisch nicht leitend sein muß, ist es vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff herzustellen. Hier kommt bei der Herstellung des Isolierstückes z. B. das Spritzgußverfahren in Betracht, wobei dieses Spritzgußverfahren bei der Ausgestaltung des aus der DE 295 12 585 U1 bekannten Isolierstückes sehr aufwendig ist. Gerade durch die schrägen Aufnahmeöffnungen für die Enden der Kabeladern ist eine Ausformung nach der Herstellung des Isolierstückes nicht ohne weiteres möglich. D. h., daß zur Herstellung des Isolierstückes aufwendige Formen angefertigt werden müssen. Denn bei der Form des Isolierstückes ist es erforderlich, daß die Aufnahmeöffnungen in etwa den gleichen Querschnitt haben wie die Enden der Kabeladern, da diese Enden in den Aufnahmeöffnungen festgesetzt werden müssen, damit sie beim Einführen der Schneidklemmen nicht zurückweichen können, da dies ansonsten die elektrische Kontaktierung verhindern würden. It has been found that the insulating piece in particular is very difficult and is complex to manufacture. Since this insulating piece does not have to be electrically conductive, it is preferably made of plastic. Here comes in the making of the Isolierstückes z. B. the injection molding process into consideration, this injection molding process in the design of the insulating piece known from DE 295 12 585 U1 very much is complex. Straight through the oblique openings for the ends of the A cable core is not without a shape after the production of the insulating piece further possible. That is, complex shapes for the production of the insulating piece must be made. Because with the shape of the insulating piece, it is necessary that the receiving openings have approximately the same cross section as the ends of the Cable cores, since these ends have to be fixed in the receiving openings, so that they cannot retract when inserting the insulation displacement clamps, as this would otherwise prevent electrical contacting.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kabelsteckverbinder dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die Herstellung des Kabelsteckverbinders erleichtert ist unter Beibehaltung eines einfachen und schnellen Zusammenbaus.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a cable connector to improve that the manufacture of the cable connector is facilitated under Maintaining an easy and quick assembly.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zwischen dem Adernaufnahmeteil und dem Kontaktträger ein Verbindungsteil vorgesehen, welches die zumindest eine Kabelader in dem Ademaufnahmeteil in einer Kontaktierungslage fixiert. Durch den Einsatz des Verbindungsteiles ist es möglich, das Adernaufnahmeteil sowie das Verbindungsteil von seiner Formgebung her einfacher zu gestalten, wodurch auch die Formen zur Herstellung der beiden Teile einfacher gehalten werden können. Gleichzeitig ist gewährleistet, daß aufgrund der vereinfachten Formgebung und dem Zusammenspiel des Adernaufnahmeteiles mit dem Verbindungsteil sichergestellt ist, daß das Ende der zumindest einen Kabelader sicher in dem Adernaufnahmeteil fixiert ist und nicht zurückweichen kann, wenn die Schneidklemme die elektrische Verbindung zwischen der zumindest einen Kabelader und einem Kontaktelement herstellt.According to the invention is between the wire receiving part and the contact carrier Connection part provided which the at least one cable core in the Ademaufteilem fixed in a contact position. By using the Connecting part, it is possible to the wire receiving part and the connecting part of its shape easier to design, which also makes the molds for production of the two parts can be kept easier. At the same time it is guaranteed that due to the simplified design and the interaction of the Wire receiving part with the connecting part ensures that the end of the at least one cable wire is securely fixed in the wire receiving part and not can recede if the insulation displacement connection between the produces at least one cable core and a contact element.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Adernaufnahmeteil zumindest eine Adernführung auf, die als nach oben offener Kanal ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Adernführung ist es ohne Probleme möglich, eine Adernführung zu realisieren, mit der gewährleistet ist, daß nach Einführung der Kabeladern in das Adernaufnahmeteil diese Enden der Kabeladern immer genau in dem Bereich positioniert sind, in dem die elektrische Verbindung mit der Schneidklemme hergestellt werden soll. Darüber hinaus ist ein nach oben offener Kanal, wie er erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen ist, wesentlich einfacher zu formen und zu entformen als eine längsgestreckte, geschlossene Aufnahmeöffnung.In a development of the invention, the wire receiving part has at least one Wire guide, which is designed as an open channel upwards. Through this Design of the wire routing, it is possible without problems to conduct a wire realize with which it is ensured that after the introduction of the cable wires in the Core receiving part these ends of the cable cores always positioned exactly in the area in which the electrical connection to the insulation displacement terminal is to be established. In addition, an upwardly open channel, as provided according to the invention, Much easier to shape and demould than an elongated, closed one Receiving opening.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Verbindungsteil einen in Richtung des Adernaufnahmeteiles weisenden Dorn auf. Dieser Dorn hat die Aufgabe, die Enden der Kabeladern in dem nach oben offen ausgebildeten Kanal der Adernführung hinein zu drücken und zu fixieren. Durch den Einsatz eines Dornes und einer mit dieser Form korrespondierenden Form der Adernführung ist ebenfalls eine vereinfachte Formgebung, eine vereinfachte Ausformung und eine definierte Fixierung in der Kontaktierungslage gegeben. In a development of the invention, the connecting part has one in the direction of Core receiving part pointing mandrel. This mandrel has the task of ending the ends of the Cable cores into the channel of the wire guide, which is open at the top press and fix. By using a mandrel and one with this shape the corresponding form of the wire guide is also a simplified design, a simplified shape and a defined fixation in the contact position given.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist das Verbindungsteil zumindest einen Längsschlitz zur Führung der zumindest einen Schneidklemme auf. Während der Dorn des Verbindungsteiles die Aufgabe hat, die Enden der Kabeladern in der Adernführung zu fixieren, hat der Längsschlitz die Aufgabe, die Schneidklemme, die durch das Verbindungsteil bewegt wird, zu führen, damit die elektrische Verbindung mittels der Schneidklemme genau an der Stelle erfolgen kann, an dem sich das Ende der Kabelader befindet. In besonders vorteilhafter Weise weist in axialer Verlängerung des Längsschlitzes des Verbindungsteiles auch das Adernaufnahmeteil einen Längsschlitz auf, so daß die Schneidklemme über einen größeren Teil ihrer Längserstreckung in dem Adernaufnahmeteil und in dem Verbindungsteil geführt und damit festgesetzt ist. Dadurch kann wirksam vermieden, daß sich die elektrische Verbindung zwischen der Schneidklemme und der Kabelader insbesondere dann, wenn der Kabelsteckverbinder Vibrationen ausgesetzt ist, löst.In a further development of the invention, the connecting part has at least one longitudinal slot to guide the at least one insulation displacement clamp. While the thorn of The connecting part has the task of closing the ends of the cable wires in the wire guide fix, the longitudinal slot has the task of the insulation piercing through the Connection part is moved to guide the electrical connection by means of Insulation displacement terminal can be done exactly at the point where the end of the cable wire located. In a particularly advantageous manner, the Longitudinal slot of the connecting part, the wire receiving part has a longitudinal slot on, so that the insulation piercing over a larger part of its longitudinal extent in the Wire receiving part and guided in the connecting part and is thus fixed. Thereby can effectively avoid that the electrical connection between the Insulation displacement terminal and the cable core especially when the cable connector Exposed to vibrations.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das Adernaufnahmeteil über das Verbindungsteil mit dem Kontaktträger nach der Montage des Kabelsteckverbinders verbunden. Das Verbindungsteil hat somit eine zentrale Funktion, nämlich einerseits Fixierung der Enden der Kabeladern in dem Adernaufnahmeteil und Führung der Schneidklemmen des Kontaktträgers. Zum anderen gewährleistet das Verbindungsteil die Verbindung zwischen dem Adernaufnahmeteil und dem Kontaktträger, die somit mittels des Verbindungsteiles miteinander verbunden werden. Hier ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die erwähnten Teile miteinander verklipst, verschweißt oder verklebt werden, da somit eine axiale Montage möglich ist, die besonders einfach zu bewerkstelligen ist. Eine Schraubverbindung kommt daher nicht in Betracht. Die Verbindung des Verbindungsteiles mit dem Adernaufnahmeteil und dem Kontaktträger kann auch den Mantel des Kabels, insbesondere in Form einer Zugentlastung, mit umfassen, z. B. dadurch, daß die genannten Teile sowie ein Teil des Kabelmantels in einem Rohr angeordnet werden.In a further development of the invention, the wire receiving part is connected via the connecting part connected to the contact carrier after installing the cable connector. The The connecting part thus has a central function, namely fixing the ends on the one hand of the cable cores in the core receiving part and guidance of the insulation displacement terminals of the Contact carrier. On the other hand, the connecting part ensures the connection between the wire receiving part and the contact carrier, which are thus by means of the connecting part be connected to each other. Here it is particularly advantageous if the mentioned Parts are clipped together, welded or glued, since this is an axial Assembly is possible, which is particularly easy to accomplish.

In addition to the electrical contacting, the cable connector 1 can, even if this is not shown in the figures, additionally for example by means of a Union nut can be fixed. This fixation can also relieve the strain on the cable 2 with include.

Das Kabel 2 weist mehrere Kabeladern 3 auf, die mit ihren nicht abisolierten Enden in ein Adernaufnahmeteil 4 durch eine nicht bezeichnete Zentralbohrung eingeführt werden. Das Adernaufnahmeteil 4 weist eine oder mehrere Adernführungen 41 auf, die als nach oben offene und leicht bogenförmig ausgebildete Kanäle ausgebildet sind. Weiterhin weist das Adernaufnahmeteil 4 zumindest einen Längsschlitz 42 auf, wobei sich die Anzahl der Längsschlitze 42 nach der Anzahl der zu kontaktierenden Kabeladern 3 richtet. Außerdem ist noch ein umlaufender Überstand 43 vorhanden, wobei die Funktion der Adernführungen 41, der Längsschlitze 42 und des Überstandes 43 im Zusammenhang mit der Montage des Kabelsteckverbinders 1 erläutert wird.The cable 2 has a plurality of cable cores 3, which with their non-stripped ends in one Core receiving part 4 are inserted through a central bore, not designated. The wire receiving part 4 has one or more wire guides 41, which are considered as Open and slightly arched channels are formed at the top. Farther has the wire receiving part 4 at least one longitudinal slot 42, the Number of longitudinal slots 42 according to the number of cable cores 3 to be contacted directed. There is also a circumferential projection 43, the function the wire guides 41, the longitudinal slots 42 and the projection 43 in Connection with the assembly of the cable connector 1 is explained.

Der Kabelsteckverbinder 1 besteht weiterhin aus einem Verbindungsteil 5, welches entsprechend der Anzahl der Kabeladern 3 Längsschlitze 51 aufweist. An dem Ende des Verbindungsteiles 5, das in Richtung des Adernaufnahmeteiles 4 gerichtet ist, befindet sich ein Dorn 52. Außerdem sind am Außenumfang des Verbindungsteiles 5 mehrere umlaufende Rippen 53 angeordnet. Die Funktion des Längsschlitzes 51, des Dornes 52 und der Rippen 53 wird ebenfalls in Verbindung mit der Montage des Kabelsteckverbinders 1 erläutert.The cable connector 1 also consists of a connecting part 5, which has 3 longitudinal slots 51 corresponding to the number of cable cores. At the end of the Connecting part 5, which is directed in the direction of the wire receiving part 4 a mandrel 52. In addition, there are several on the outer circumference of the connecting part 5 circumferential ribs 53 arranged. The function of the longitudinal slot 51, the mandrel 52 and the ribs 53 is also in connection with the assembly of the Cable connector 1 explained.

Abschließend ist noch ein Kontaktträger 6 vorhanden, der entsprechend der Anzahl der Kabeladern 3 Schneidklemmen 61 aufweist. Diese Schneidklemmen 61 durchdringen den Kontaktträger 6 und enden in Kontakten 62, die als flache Stifte ausgebildet sind. Allgemein haben die Kontakte 62 eine solche Funktion und Form, daß sie mit entsprechenden Gegenstücken kontaktiert werden können. Der Zusammenbau des Kabelsteckverbinders 1 erfolgt wie folgt:Finally, there is a contact carrier 6, which corresponds to the number of Cable cores 3 insulation displacement terminals 61. These insulation displacement terminals 61 penetrate the Contact carrier 6 and end in contacts 62 which are designed as flat pins. In general, the contacts 62 have such a function and shape that they are connected to corresponding counterparts can be contacted. The cable connector 1 is assembled as follows:

Die Kabeladern 3, die gleichen oder unterschiedlichen Durchmesser haben können, werden auf eine definierte Länge abgeschnitten. Dann werden diese Kabeladern durch die Zentralbohrung in dem Adernaufnahmeteil 4 durchgeführt, wodurch sie sich schon weitestgehend in die Adernführung 41 bewegen. Anschließend wird das Verbindungsteil mit seinem Dorn 52 in Richtung des Adernaufnahmeteiles 4 geführt, wobei der Dorn 52 bewirkt, daß sich die Kabeladern 3 vollends in die Adernführung 41 bewegen und durch die korrespondierende Form des Dornes 52 in diesen Adernführungen 41 fixiert werden. Dies ist dann die Kontaktierungslage der Kabeladern 3. Hierbei bewirkt der Überstand 43 des Adernaufnahmeteiles 4, daß er zur Anlage kommt mit wenigstens einer der umlaufenden Rippen 53 des Verbindungsteiles, so daß dadurch das Verbindungsteil 5 in bezug auf das Adernaufnahmeteil 4 festgesetzt wird. Der Überstand 43 kann auch mit einem Rasthaken versehen sein, der hinter einer Rippe 53 einrastet. Anschließend erfolgt das Aufsetzen des Kontaktträgers 6 auf dem Verbindungsteil 5, wobei die Schneidklemmen 61 des Kontaktträgers 6 durch die Längsschlitzes 51 des Verbindungsteiles 5 bis in den Bereich des Adernaufnahmeteiles 4 geführt werden, so daß die Schneidklemmen 61 die Enden der Kabeladern 3, d. h. deren Isolation, durchdringen können, um die elektrische Verbindung zwischen der Kabelader 3 und dem Kontakt 62 herzustellen. Auch hier greift wieder der Überstand 63 des Kontaktträgers 6 über zumindest eine der Rippen 53 des Verbindungsteiles, wobei auch der Überstand 63 einen Rasthaken aufweisen kann, der hinter eine der Rippen 53 greift. Anstelle der Rippen 53 kann das Verbindungsteil 5 auch Ausnahmen aufweisen, in welche ein oder mehrere Rasthaken des Adernaufnahmeteiles 4 bzw. des Kontaktträgers 6 eingreifen. Ebenso kann alternativ vorgesehen sein, daß die Überstände an dem Verbindungsteil 5 angeordnet sind und in entsprechender Weise Rippen, Ausnahmen oder dergleichen sich an bzw. in dem Adernaufnahmeteil 4 und in dem Kontaktträger 6 befinden. Allgemein müssen also Mittel vorgesehen werden, mit denen die Lage des Adernaufnahmeteiles 4 und des Kontaktträgers 6 zu dem Verbindungsteil 5 fixiert werden kann. Die Teile können auch miteinander verschweißt oder verklebt werden, wodurch zusätzlich noch sichergestellt ist, daß der Kontaktierungsbereich dichtend angeschlossen ist. Erfolgt eine mechanische Verbindung der Teile untereinander können an geeigneten Stellen auch Dichtungen eingelegt werden. The cable wires 3, which can have the same or different diameters, are cut to a defined length. Then these cable wires are through carried out the central bore in the wire receiving part 4, whereby they are already move as far as possible into the wire guide 41. Then the connecting part guided with its mandrel 52 in the direction of the wire receiving part 4, the mandrel 52 causes the cable wires 3 to move fully into the wire guide 41 and through the corresponding shape of the mandrel 52 can be fixed in these wire guides 41. This is then the contacting position of the cable cores 3. Here, the overhang 43 of the wire receiving part 4 that it comes into contact with at least one of the circumferential ribs 53 of the connecting part, so that thereby the connecting part 5 in is fixed with respect to the wire receiving part 4. The protrusion 43 can also be provided with a locking hook which engages behind a rib 53. Then follows the placement of the contact carrier 6 on the connecting part 5, the Insulation displacement terminals 61 of the contact carrier 6 through the longitudinal slot 51 of the Connection part 5 are performed in the area of the wire receiving part 4, so that the insulation displacement terminals 61 the ends of the cable wires 3, d. H. their isolation, can penetrate to the electrical connection between the cable 3 and the Establish contact 62. Here too, the projection 63 of the contact carrier 6 engages via at least one of the ribs 53 of the connecting part, the protrusion 63 can have a locking hook which engages behind one of the ribs 53. Instead of Ribs 53, the connecting part 5 can also have exceptions in which one or engage several locking hooks of the wire receiving part 4 or the contact carrier 6. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the protrusions on the connecting part 5 are arranged and ribs, exceptions or the like themselves are located on or in the wire receiving part 4 and in the contact carrier 6. Generally Means must therefore be provided with which the position of the wire receiving part 4 and the contact carrier 6 can be fixed to the connecting part 5. The parts can can also be welded or glued together, which additionally it is ensured that the contacting area is sealed. If there is one Mechanical connection of the parts to one another can also be made at suitable points Seals are inserted.

Weiterhin ist noch denkbar, nach der Montage des Kabelsteckverbinders 1 diesen einschließlich des Endbereiches des Kabels 2 mit einer Ummantelung zu umgeben.Furthermore, it is still conceivable after the cable connector 1 has been installed including the end region of the cable 2 with a sheath.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 sind verschiedene dreidimensionale Ansichten des erfindungsgemäßen Kabelsteckverbinders 1 vor seine Montage gezeigt, wobei deutlich zu erkennen ist, daß hier beispielhaft ein vieradriges Kabel 2 verwendet wird. Dementsprechend der Adernanzahl sich auch das Adernaufnahmeteil 4, das Verbindungsteil 5 sowie der Kontaktträger 6 entsprechend ausgebildet. FIGS. 2 and 3 show different three-dimensional views of the Cable connector 1 according to the invention shown before its assembly, whereby clearly can be seen that a four-core cable 2 is used here as an example. According to the number of wires, the wire receiving part 4, the Connection part 5 and the contact carrier 6 are formed accordingly.
