Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector assembly with two different, matching two different sockets plugs to connect wires of at least one electrical line with either contacts in one of the two sockets.
  • a plug assembly of the type described above is known from DE 295 13 082 U1 .
  • a first connector is first connected to a line. From this first connector leads a short additional line to a second connector.
  • the line With the first plug, the line can be connected, for example, to a 13-pin car socket. If there is no 13-pin car socket but a 7-pin car socket, the line can be connected via the additional cable and the other plug.
  • the known plug assembly can be provided comparatively inexpensive, because it is based on two conventional plugs.
  • a disadvantage of the known connector assembly is that no matter which of the two connectors is used, the other is unsecured and commutes next to the socket. This is true even with relatively short additional line.
  • adapters In addition to the known connector assembly, the use of adapters is known to connect a motor vehicle trailer or a device to be mounted on a motor vehicle to a 7- or 13-pin socket on the motor vehicle.
  • an adapter has a 13-pin socket and a 7-pin plug, which are provided on a single rigid assembly. Now if the motor vehicle has no 13-pin but a 7-pin socket, a 13-pin connector is plugged into a line to be connected in the socket of the adapter and attached to this and the 7-pin connector of the adapter is then in the 7- inserted pole socket on the motor vehicle.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connector assembly for the electrical connection of a motor vehicle trailer with two different, to two different sockets plugs that Einerselt by simply plugging one of the two plugs into the corresponding socket the electrical connection and the mechanically fixed connection on the other hand.
  • two connectors are provided on a common housing and combined with this to form a structural unit.
  • Each electrical line is preferably laterally between the plugs from the housing of the unitq.
  • the wires of the relevant line or lines are connected to the corresponding terminals or connectors of the plug.
  • the two connectors are arranged, formed or housed on the assembly. This may be the case at two opposite ends of a particular rigid structural unit with a longitudinally stretched shape. But also an angled design of the unit is possible.
  • the common housing of the assembly may be made of rigid, unyielding material, such as plastic. Even limited resilient materials, such as rubber, can be used.
  • This arrangement is remotely comparable to the arrangement of a plug and a socket at two opposite ends of a rigid assembly in an adapter as described above.
  • there are two connectors provided and the line-side contacting the plug does not take place via a power outlet. Rather, an electrical line to be connected directly to both connectors of the new connector assembly via corresponding contacts, such as screw and / or crimp terminals, connected and led out laterally between the connectors from the unit.
  • the new connector assembly is completely fixed to a power outlet, no matter which of the two plugs is plugged into the socket. There are no components of the plug assembly next to the socket. Nevertheless, the plug assembly can operate any outlet at any time, depending on which type is currently present.
  • the assembly is preferably rigid.
  • the two connectors are arranged at two opposite ends of the rigid assembly, ie with their axes aligned.
  • the unit has a single straight longitudinal axis. It is also possible to use the unit with e.g. realized angled axis.
  • the structural unit of the new connector arrangement has at least one molded body which at one end forms part of the one connector and on his other end forms a part of the other plug. This means that it is preferred if the plug arrangement is not subdivided in the direction between the plugs, ie is composed of several components.
  • the structural unit has a housing which is formed by two shaped bodies extending in the direction between the connectors. Between the moldings then the plug inserts of the two connectors can be kept, unless they are integrally formed with one of the two moldings.
  • each line leading to the new connector assembly can be led out of the assembly between the moldings.
  • a fuse of the line against pulling out can be realized here by being clamped between the moldings.
  • the new connector assembly is provided in its basic form to that at a line exit point, a line is led out of it. But it is also possible to lead out two lines at two opposite cable outlet points from the assembly of the new connector assembly. This makes sense, for example, to allow the lines coming from two sides of a bicycle carrier which can be mounted on a motor vehicle to run separately into the plug arrangement.
  • one of the connectors is designed for a 7-pin automotive socket. It is preferred if in the assembly a locking groove is formed for the engagement of a flap of the 7-pin automotive socket. Typically, the flap for locking on the back of a plug is supported, which is plugged into a 7-pin car socket. However, this is not possible due to the length of the unit of the new connector assembly. A remedy here creates the provided in the unit locking groove.
  • the other connector of the concrete connector assembly may be formed for a 13-pin automotive power outlet. It is preferred if a transversely extending support web is provided for a flap of the 13-pin automotive socket. Typically, a contact surface for the flap of a 13-pin automotive socket is formed on a corresponding plug. The adjoining flap to twist the plug against the socket and thus releasing a bayonet between the Prevent plug and socket. The same function is achieved in the new connector assembly by the transverse, ie parallel to the pivot axis of the flap of the 13-pin automotive socket extending support web when the flap is supported on it. The smaller contact surface of the support web over the prior art results in no lower security forces against accidental rotation of the plug in the socket.
  • the locking groove and the support web are provided on opposite sides of the assembly. In this way, in a change from one type of socket to another, only the connector assembly is rotated by 180 ° about a transverse axis, each line is rotated by just this angle about its major axis, but otherwise undergoes no deformation. But it is also easily possible to provide the locking groove and the support bar on the same side of the unit. In the length and deformability of most available lines so that no resulting from the deformation of the lines significant disadvantage is connected.
  • the locking groove and the support web are provided only in or on one of the two moldings that form the housing of the assembly.
  • the locking groove leads to a reduction in the cross-sectional moment, which is preferably limited to one of the two moldings. At least the locking groove should not be provided circumferentially around the entire housing of the unit.
  • At least one protective flap is provided with which each unused connector is covered to protect it from contamination.
  • it is a protective flap, the Cover both plugs is usable and can be connected via a captive with the unit.
  • the plug arrangement 1 shown in FIGS . 1 and 2 comprises two plugs 2 and 3, which are accommodated and combined on a common structural unit 4.
  • the plug 2 here is a 7-pin plug for plugging into a 7-pin car socket.
  • the plug 3 is a 13-pin plug for plugging into a 13-pin car socket.
  • the assembly 4 has a housing 5, which is composed of two moldings 6 and 7.
  • Each of the shaped bodies 6 and 7 forms at one end a part of the plug 2 and at its other end a part of the plug 3.
  • Both moldings 6 and 7 are components of the common housing 5 and extend between the plugs 2 and 3 throughout.
  • the two moldings 6 and 7 are held by screws, not shown here, which pass through screw holes 15 and 16 in the moldings 6 and 7, and against each other.
  • FIG. 1 shows contact pins 18 of the plug 2.
  • the plug insert 11 is rotatably mounted as part of the plug 3 relative to a bayonet ring 13 formed by the housing 5 in order to lock the plug assembly 1 by a rotational movement on a 13-pin socket. So that this lock is not lost, a spring-loaded flap of the 13-pin socket is placed on a support web 10 which extends adjacent to the bayonet ring 13 across the housing 5 and protrudes from this.
  • the support surface 17 of Support web 10 thus runs as a narrow band parallel to the pivot axis of the flap of the 13-pin socket.
  • a locking groove 9 is provided, in which the flap can engage.
  • the locking groove 9 ends in the molded body 7, that is, it does not extend into the molding 6 and not even full 180 ° about the longitudinal axis of the housing 5, so as not to weaken excessively.
  • the support web 10 is not provided here on the same shaped body 7 as the locking groove 9, but on the other mold body 6 and thus on the opposite side of the assembly 4. However, it is also possible, the locking groove 9 and the support web 10 together either on the molding 6 or the molded body 7 to realize.
  • a line which is connectable to the connector assembly 1 in the region of the plug 2 and / or the plug 3, so that the plug assembly 1 can be used with either a 7- or a 13-pin automotive socket, is from the housing 5 at a led out of two opposite line exit points 8.
  • One of the two line exit points 8 is expediently designed as an open aperture, while the other line exit point may be formed ausbrechbar. This advantageously results in several optional connection options. If only one line with 7 wires to the connector assembly 1 is to be permanently connected, the line is passed through the open aperture of a line exit point 8 and fixed the wire ends to 7 screw terminals of the plug 2.
  • the line is also passed through the open aperture and 7 wire ends fixed to 7 screw terminals of the connector 2 and 6 wire ends to 6 screw terminals of the connector 3 contacting. If two lines, one of which is assigned to one of the right and the other of the left side of the vehicle, must be connected to the connector assembly 1, also the break-out line exit point is opened and both lines led into the interior of the housing 5. The wire ends are fixed accordingly with screw terminals. In the region of each line exit point 8, the relevant line is clamped by the mutual admission of the moldings 6 and 7 in order to realize a train protection.
  • the wire pieces have a length which extends to the screw contacts of the plug 2 and moreover permits the rotation of the plug insert 11 relative to the fixed plug 2.
  • the plug insert 11 is in any case a housing 5 or the moldings 6 and 7 separate part.
  • a plug insert of the plug 2 may be formed as a separate part or in one piece with one of the two moldings 6 or 7.
  • the plug 2 always has 7 screw terminals.
  • the connection of the lines to the plug arrangement 1 can also take place in the region of a plug or an intermediate additional connection point. In any case, the connection of each line after separation of the two moldings 6 and 7, ie after opening the housing 5 of the connector assembly 1, easily possible.
  • the length 14 of the new connector assembly 1 is recognizable shorter than the length of two conventional connectors for a 7-pin automotive socket on the one hand and a 13-pin automotive socket on the other. In any case, the length 14 but much shorter than the combination of a plug on a cable end with an adapter to adapt the plug to a non-matching car socket. Accordingly, the tilting forces of the plug assembly 1 occurring around the socket are easily manageable. At the same time only a single unit is provided at the end of the line to be connected, so that nothing dangles next to a socket or commutes and threaten to get lost any component.
  • a (not shown) protective cap may be provided for each of the plugs 2 and 3.
  • the protective caps are advantageously formed as a plastic molded body and placed on the plug 2 and 3 so that the respective contact pins 12 and 18 are covered and thus housed protected.
