Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Steckverbindergehäuse, mit einem elektrische Komponenten aufweisenden ersten Gehäuseteil und einem eine Gehäusekappe ausbildenden zweiten Gehäuseteil, welches mit dem ersten Gehäuseteil verbindbar ist, und mit einer Ausnehmung im zweiten Gehäuseteil, durch die eine elektrischen Anschlussleitung zur elektrischen Anbindung elektrischer Komponenten des ersten Gehäuseteils hindurchführbar ist. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem einen Steckverbinder mit einem solchen Steckverbindergehäuse.The invention relates to a connector housing, comprising a first housing part having electrical components and a second housing part forming a housing cap, which is connectable to the first housing part, and having a recess in the second housing part, through which an electrical connection line for electrical connection of electrical components of the first housing part can be passed. The invention also relates to a connector with such a connector housing.

Gehäuse von elektrischen Steckverbindern sind in häufig zweiteilig aufgebaut, wobei ein erstes Gehäuseteil als Halter von Steckhülsenkontakten oder Steckerstiften, die im folgenden zusammenfassend als Steckkontaktelemente bezeichnet werden, vorgesehen ist, und ein zweites Gehäuseteil eine Gehäusekappe ausbildet, die mit dem ersten Gehäuseteil verbunden werden kann und die das erste Gehäuseteil abschließt. Dadurch sind die im Inneren des Gehäuses angeordneten Steckkontakte oder sonstigen elektrischen Komponenten vor Umwelteinflüssen geschützt. Zumeist weist die Gehäusekappe eine Ausnehmung auf, durch die eine Anschlussleitung hindurchführbar ist.Housing of electrical connectors are usually constructed in two parts, wherein a first housing part as a holder of socket contacts or plug pins, which are collectively referred to as plug contact elements, is provided, and a second housing part forms a housing cap, which can be connected to the first housing part and which completes the first housing part. As a result, the plug contacts or other electrical components arranged inside the housing are protected against environmental influences. In most cases, the housing cap has a recess through which a connecting line can be passed.

Im Allgemeinen ist es erwünscht, dass das Innere des mit einer Anschlussleitung versehenen Steckverbindergehäuses - diese Kombination wird im Folgenden kurz als Steckverbinder bezeichnet - möglichst gut gegen Umwelteinflüsse geschützt ist. Eine flüssigkeitsdichte Kapselung ist dabei nicht immer nötig; ein Mindesterfordernis ist aber häufig, dass die elektrischen Komponenten vor leitenden Feststoffpartikeln, insbesondere vor metallischen Spänen, welche Kurzschlüsse bewirken können, geschützt sind.In general, it is desirable that the interior of the connector housing provided with a connecting line - this combination is referred to below as a connector for short - is protected as well as possible against environmental influences. A liquid-tight encapsulation is not always necessary; However, a minimum requirement is often that the electrical components are protected from conductive solid particles, especially from metallic chips, which can cause short circuits.

Dies erfordert, dass der Querschnitt der Anschlussleitung die Ausnehmung des zweiten Gehäuseteils möglichst dicht ausfüllt oder dass ein zusätzliches Abdichtmittel, wie etwa eine Gummidichtung in oder um die Ausnehmung herum angeordnet wird. Beide Maßnahmen erhöhen aber den Kosten- und Montageaufwand des Steckverbinders.This requires that the cross section of the connecting line as close as possible to the recess of the second housing part or that an additional sealing means, such as a rubber seal in or around the recess around is arranged. Both measures increase but the cost and installation costs of the connector.

Üblich ist es, Steckkontaktelemente, die am ersten Gehäuseteil angeordnet sind, mit den Leitungsadern einer Anschlussleitung vorzukonfektionieren. Zum Fertigstellen des Steckverbinders muss dann abschließend noch die Gehäusekappe über die Anschlussleitung geschoben werden, wobei die Anschlussleitung durch die Ausnehmung an der Gehäusekappe geführt wird. Dieser Montageschritt wird durch eine die Anschlussleitung eng umfassende Ausnehmung stark erschwert. Noch schwieriger ist das Aufschieben der Gehäusekappe, wenn diese eine Gummidichtung aufweist.It is customary to prefabricate plug-in contact elements, which are arranged on the first housing part, with the conductor wires of a connecting cable. To complete the connector then finally the housing cap must be pushed over the connecting cable, wherein the connecting cable is guided through the recess on the housing cap. This assembly step is severely hampered by the connection line narrow comprehensive recess. Even more difficult is the sliding of the housing cap, if this has a rubber seal.

Noch problematischer ist es, wenn die Anschlussleitung mit einer Ummantelung versehen ist, die am Ende der Anschlussleitung entfernt ist, um die von der Ummantelung umgebenen Leitungsadern einzeln an Steckkontaktelemente oder sonstige elektrischen Komponenten des ersten Gehäuseteils anzuschließen. Hieraus ergibt sich das Problem, dass beim montierten Steckverbinder durch die Ausnehmung des zweiten Gehäuseteils ein Bündel von einzelnen Leitungsadern hindurchgeführt ist, die zusammen aber einen deutlichen kleineren Querschnitt aufweisen als der ummantelte Bereich der Anschlussleitung. Da die Weite der Ausnehmung aber auf den ummantelten Bereich der Anschlussleitung abgestimmt ist, verbleibt in der Ausnehmung ein relativ großer nicht ausgefüllter Bereich. Hierdurch ist der montierte Steckverbinder in vielen Fällen gegen das Eindringen elektrisch leitender Feststoffpartikel nicht ausreichend gut abgedichtet, WO2004001962 A1 zeigt ein Steckverbindergehäuse nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.It is even more problematic if the connecting line is provided with a sheath which is removed at the end of the connecting line in order to connect the conductor wires surrounded by the sheathing individually to plug contact elements or other electrical components of the first housing part. This results in the problem that in the assembled connector through the recess of the second housing part, a bundle of individual wires is passed, but together have a significantly smaller cross section than the sheathed area of the connecting cable. However, since the width of the recess is matched to the sheathed area of the connection line, a relatively large unfilled area remains in the recess. As a result, the assembled connector is not sufficiently well sealed in many cases against the penetration of electrically conductive solid particles, WO2004001962 A1 shows a connector housing according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es stellte sich die Aufgabe, ein Steckverbindergehäuse zu schaffen, welches auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise die vorgenannten Nachteile vermeidet.It set itself the task of creating a connector housing, which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages in a simple and cost-effective manner.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung ermöglicht es, dass die Weite der Ausnehmung am zweiten Gehäuseteil deutlich größer ausgeführt sein kann als der Querschnitt der Anschlussleitung, so dass die Anschlussleitung ohne einen großen, durch Reibung verursachten Kraftaufwand durch die Ausnehmung hindurchgeführt werden kann. Um dennoch eine gute Abdichtung zu erzielen, ist erfindungsgemäß am ersten Gehäuseteil eine schwertartige Anformung vorgesehen, welche nach dem Verbinden der beiden Gehäuseteile die Ausnehmung größtenteils abdeckt. Hierdurch verbleibt nur noch ein kleiner Teil der Ausnehmung als Durchführungsbereich der Anschlussleitung, die zudem durch die schwertförmige Anformung in diesem Bereich zusammengepresst werden kann. Auf diese Weise wird selbst dann eine gute Abdichtung erreicht, wenn die Anschlussleitung als ein Bündel einzelner Leitungsadern aus dem Steckverbindergehäuse herausgeführt wird. Steckverbinder mit einem derartigen Steckverbindergehäuse können vorteilhaft beispielsweise in Getriebegehäusen von Kraftfahrzeugen unter Öl eingesetzt werden. Das Eindringen von Öl in das Steckverbindergehäuse ist dabei unproblematisch, solange dieses keine elektrisch leitfähigen Teile wie etwa abgeriebene Späne mit sich führt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung wird eine spandichte Abdichtung des Steckverbindergehäuses erreicht.The invention makes it possible that the width of the recess on the second housing part can be made significantly larger than the cross section of the connecting line, so that the connecting line can be passed through the recess without a large force caused by friction force. In order nevertheless to achieve a good seal, according to the invention a sword-like Anformung is provided on the first housing part, which largely covers the recess after the connection of the two housing parts. This leaves only a small part of the recess as a lead-through area of the connecting line, which can also be compressed by the sword-shaped Anformung in this area. In this way, a good seal is achieved even if the connection line is led out of the connector housing as a bundle of individual conductor wires. Connectors with such a connector housing can be advantageously used for example in transmission housings of motor vehicles under oil. The penetration of oil into the connector housing is unproblematic, as long as it does not carry any electrically conductive parts such as abraded chips with it. The inventive design a spandichte seal of the connector housing is achieved.

Further details of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawing. It show the
FIG. 1
a fully assembled connector with a connector housing according to the invention,
FIGS. 2 to 4
Mounting phases of the connector.

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen fertig montierten Steckverbinder mit einem zweiteilig ausgeführten Steckverbindergehäuse. Das Steckverbindergehäuse besteht aus einem ersten und einem zweiten Gehäuseteil 1, 2, die über Rastelemente 8, 9 miteinander verbunden. Die Rastelemente 8, 9 sind hier beispielhaft durch Rastnasen 8 am ersten Gehäuseteil 1 und Rastlaschen 9 am zweiten Gehäuseteil 2 realisiert. Die beiden Gehäuseteile 1, 2 können grundsätzlich auch auf andere Weise, etwa durch Verkleben oder Verschweißen, miteinander verbunden sein, wobei aber das hier vorgeschlagene Verrasten eine bevorzugte, weil besonders einfach ausführbare Verbindungsmethode ist.The FIG. 1 shows a fully assembled connector with a two-part connector housing. The connector housing consists of a first and a second housing part 1, 2, which are interconnected via latching elements 8, 9. The locking elements 8, 9 are here exemplified by locking lugs 8 on the first housing part 1 and locking tabs 9 on the second housing part 2 realized. The two housing parts 1, 2 can in principle also be connected to one another in other ways, for example by gluing or welding, but the locking proposed here is a preferred method of connection that is particularly simple to carry out.

Das zweite Gehäuseteil 2 bildet eine Gehäusekappe für das erste Gehäuseteil 1 aus und weist eine Ausnehmung 4 auf, durch die eine Anschlussleitung 3 hindurchgeführt ist. Die Anschlussleitung 3 steht in elektrischer Verbindung zu hier nicht dargestellten elektrischen Komponenten, wie insbesondere Steckkontaktelementen im ersten Gehäuseteil 1. Die Ausnehmung 4 wird größtenteils durch eine schwertförmige Anformung 5 abgedeckt, die, wie besonders deutlich in der Figur 2 erkennbar ist, einstückig mit dem ersten Gehäuseteil 1 ausgebildet ist.The second housing part 2 forms a housing cap for the first housing part 1 and has a recess 4, through which a connecting line 3 is passed. The connecting line 3 is in electrical connection to electrical components, not shown here, in particular plug-in contact elements in the first housing part 1. The recess 4 is largely covered by a sword-shaped Anformung 5, which, as particularly clear in the FIG. 2 can be seen, is integrally formed with the first housing part 1.

Die schwertförmige Anformung 5 verkleinert so die Ausnehmung 4 bis auf einen kleinen Durchführungsbereich 6, der von einem nicht vollständig geschlossenen ringförmigen Kragen 7 umgeben ist, welcher am zweiten Gehäuseteil 2 angeformt ist. Bei miteinander verbundenen Gehäuseteilen 1, 2 erstreckt sich der freie Endabschnitt der schwertartigen Anformung 5 bis zu dem Kragen 7, der dadurch zu einem vollständigen Ring geschlossen wird. Dadurch wird die Anschlussleitung 3, die in dem Durchführungsbereich 6 ein Bündel von einzelnen Leitungsadern 11 ausbildet, zwischen der schwertförmigen Anformung 5 und dem Kragen 7 klemmend gehalten.The sword-shaped Anformung 5 thus reduces the recess 4 except for a small lead-through area 6 which is surrounded by a not completely closed annular collar 7, which is integrally formed on the second housing part 2. In interconnected housing parts 1, 2 The free end portion of the sword-like Anformung 5 extends to the collar 7, which is thereby closed to a complete ring. As a result, the connecting line 3, which forms a bundle of individual conductor wires 11 in the lead-through region 6, is clamped between the sword-shaped projection 5 and the collar 7.

In den Figuren 2 bis 4 sind drei Montagephasen des Steckverbinders dargestellt. Die Figur 2 zeigt das erste Gehäuseteil 1 des mehrpoligen Steckverbinders, welches eine der Polzahl entsprechende Anzahl von Steckkontaktelementen, wie beispielsweise in der Figur nicht dargestellte Steckhülsenkontakte, haltert. Mit den Steckkontaktelementen ist jeweils eine Leitungsader 11 der Anschlussleitung 3 elektrisch und mechanisch verbunden, wodurch auch das erste Gehäuseteil 1 mechanisch fest an die Anschlussleitung 3 gekoppelt ist.In the FIGS. 2 to 4 three assembly phases of the connector are shown. The FIG. 2 shows the first housing part 1 of the multi-pin connector, which holds one of the number of poles corresponding number of plug contact elements, such as, for example, in the figure socket contacts, not shown. A line core 11 of the connecting line 3 is electrically and mechanically connected to the plug-in contact elements, as a result of which the first housing part 1 is also mechanically fixedly coupled to the connecting line 3.

Um das zweite Gehäuseteil 2 als Gehäusekappe mit der Oberseite des ersten Gehäuseteil 1 zu verbinden, muss zunächst die Anschlussleitung 3 durch die Ausnehmung 4 des zweiten Gehäuseteils 2 hindurch geführt werden. Da die Leitungsadern 11 der Anschlussleitung 3 schon mit dem ersten Gehäuseteil 1 verbunden sind, besteht hierzu nur die Möglichkeit, das zweite Gehäuseteil 2 von der freien Seite der Anschlussleitung 3 her über deren Ummantelung 10 in Richtung auf das erste Gehäuseteil 1 aufzuschieben. Um dies ohne großen Kraftaufwand zu ermöglichen, ist der Durchmesser der Ausnehmung 4 größer ausgeführt als der Querschnittsdurchmesser der Ummantelung 10 der Anschlussleitung 3, so dass das zweite Gehäuseteil praktisch reibungsfrei über die Anschlussleitung 3 geschoben werden kann.To connect the second housing part 2 as a housing cap with the top of the first housing part 1, the connecting line 3 must first be passed through the recess 4 of the second housing part 2 therethrough. Since the conductor wires 11 of the connecting line 3 are already connected to the first housing part 1, there is only the possibility of postponing the second housing part 2 from the free side of the connecting line 3 via the sheathing 10 in the direction of the first housing part 1. To enable this without much effort, the diameter of the recess 4 is made larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the sheath 10 of the connecting line 3, so that the second housing part can be pushed virtually frictionless over the connecting line 3.

Erreicht das zweite Gehäuseteil 2 das erste Gehäuseteil 1, was in den Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellt ist, so durchgreifen die freiliegenden Leitungsadern 11 der Anschlussleitung 3 die Ausnehmung 4 des zweiten Gehäuseteils 2, welche aber zusammen einen wesentlich kleineren Querschnitt aufweisen als die Ummantelung 10 der Anschlussleitung 3. Da die Leitungsadern 11 die Ausnehmung 4 nicht annähernd auszufüllen vermögen, verbleibt ein relativ großer Bereich der Ausnehmung 4 als ein Freiraum, durch die auch relativ große Fremdpartikel in das Steckverbindergehäuse eindringen könnten.Reached the second housing part 2, the first housing part 1, which in the FIGS. 2 and 3 is shown, so pass through the exposed cable wires 11 of the connecting line 3, the recess 4 of the second housing part 2, which together have a substantially smaller cross-section than that Sheath 10 of the connecting line 3. Since the core wires 11 are not able to fill the recess 4 approximately, a relatively large area of the recess 4 remains as a free space through which relatively large foreign particles could penetrate into the connector housing.

Dieser Freiraum wird aber im Verlauf des weiteren Zusammenfügens der beiden Gehäuseteile 1, 2 zunehmend durch die schwertförmige Anformung 5 des ersten Gehäuseteils 1 ausgefüllt. Haben die beiden Gehäuseteile 1, 2 ihre Endpositionen relativ zueinander erreicht, so verrasten die Rastelemente 8, 9 der beiden Gehäuseteile 1, 2 miteinander und bilden zusammen ein vollständiges Steckverbindergehäuse aus. Damit ist der bereits in der Figur 1 dargestellte Montagezustand erreicht. Die schwertförmige Anformung 5 deckt nur die Ausnehmung 4 fast vollständig ab und drängt die Leitungsadern 11 in den kleinen Durchführungsbereich 6, der von dem ringförmigen Kragen 7 umgeben ist. Wie die Figur 1 zeigt presst die schwertförmige Anformung 5 die Leitungsadern 11 gegen den Rand des Kragens 7. Hierdurch ist der Durchführungsbereich 6 der Leitungsadern 11 weitgehend, das heißt, zwar nicht flüssigkeitsdicht, aber doch gegen das Eindringen makroskopischer Feststoffpartikel, abgedichtet.However, this clearance is increasingly filled in the course of further joining the two housing parts 1, 2 by the sword-shaped Anformung 5 of the first housing part 1. If the two housing parts 1, 2 have reached their end positions relative to one another, the latching elements 8, 9 of the two housing parts 1, 2 lock together and together form a complete connector housing. This is already in the FIG. 1 achieved assembled state. The sword-shaped Anformung 5 covers only the recess 4 almost completely and urges the line wires 11 in the small lead-in area 6, which is surrounded by the annular collar 7. As the FIG. 1 shows the sword-shaped Anformung 5, the lead wires 11 against the edge of the collar 7. As a result, the lead-through portion 6 of the leads 11 is largely, that is, not liquid-tight, but sealed against the penetration of macroscopic solid particles.
