Definitions

  • the invention is based on a connector according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and a system consisting of the connector and a mating connector according to the preamble of claim 6 as well as a method of production according to claim 8 and a method of plugging according to claim 9.
  • Such connectors are required in order to be able to conveniently lock and unlock plug connections.
  • the operating concept usually consists of pulling a sleeve of the connector away from the mating connector to unlock it, so that both the operation of the unlocking device and the separation of the plug from the mating connector are carried out in a single direction of movement and thus with a single hand movement.
  • the mating connector usually has a mounting housing and can e.g. B. be attached to a housing wall, so that this process is usually carried out with a single hand.
  • the publication EP 1 841 016 B1 discloses a metallic connector for use in harsh and humid industrial environments.
  • This has a rectangular shaped connector housing, e.g. B. a zinc die-cast connector housing, which is surrounded on the one hand by a corresponding unlocking sleeve, and in which on the other hand a plug insert is fixed.
  • the connector housing is provided with an unlocking sleeve and has a locking device which locks with a mating connector during the plugging process. When the unlocking sleeve is pulled back, the locking hooks of the locking device intended for locking are levered out "outwards" from the locking recesses on the mating connector.
  • the DE 102 36 275 B3 shows a locking device for two plug connectors that can be joined together, with locking hooks on one of the plug connectors engaging in locking recesses in the second plug connector when the plug connectors are joined together.
  • an actuator here a sliding sleeve and bevels formed on it, the locking hooks can be raised and lifted out of the locking recesses, which makes it possible to disconnect the plug connectors.
  • a plug connector which has a locking ring, wherein the locking ring can be expanded radially by means of an unlocking sleeve and thus a lock to a mating plug connector is released.
  • the EP 1 959 523 B1 discloses a plug-side coding for a distinctive plugging of two plug connectors, in particular two push pull plug connectors.
  • the coding is subsequently inserted into the connector insert of the first connector and interacts with a corresponding counterform on the connector insert of the second connector.
  • the coding prevents the connector from being plugged together with a mating connector other than the second one provided.
  • a coding device for two mutually complementary plugs one of which is provided with at least a first coding element and the other with at least one complementary second coding element, at least one of the plug connectors comprising a housing with a plug-in cap, with at least one of the Coding elements is arranged.
  • the publication DE10 2007 031 504 A1 discloses a plug connector comprising a plug head and a sliding sleeve held thereon in an axially displaceable manner.
  • the plug head has locking tongues with at least one free end.
  • the locking tongues are connected via a connecting element.
  • the sliding sleeve includes a passage receiving the plug head and an unlocking element assigned to the locking tongues.
  • the unlocking element is formed in the passage on an inside of the sliding sleeve assigned to the locking tongues and puts the locking tongues into an unlocking state via sliding contact with the connecting element by moving the sliding sleeve.
  • the publication US 2011/091159 A1 discloses a lockable push-pull optical connector having a housing and a ferrule with a locking lever, and a method for making the same.
  • the publication US 7,549,887 B1 discloses the preamble of claim 1, namely a lockable connector having an outer housing and an inner housing.
  • the inner housing may include a locking mechanism and may be movable relative to the outer housing to allow the housing lock to move from a locked position to an unlocked position.
  • the connector may have a second housing that has a ramp for unlocking engages part of the locking mechanism when the case lock is in the locked position. The ramp may be held in the locked position by a housing lock to secure the first housing to the second housing.
  • the disadvantage of the known coding devices is that they are only subsequently designed for the connector type and are therefore often only inadequately adapted to their specific properties.
  • Another disadvantage of the prior art is that incorrect plugging often occurs due to incorrect orientation of the plug connector, which can lead to damage to the plug connector and/or even to high additional follow-up costs.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a connector, in particular a push-pull connector, which enables comfortable, correct plugging and is also simple, inexpensive and efficient to produce and easy to handle.
  • the unlocking sleeve has at least one polarization element in order to interact in a polarizing manner with both the connector housing and the mating connector.
  • the unlocking sleeve has different contours on the inside on two opposite sides in order to interact in a polarizing manner with the connector housing and the mating connector.
  • the at least one polarization element can be part of at least one of these contours.
  • the different design of the two opposite sides of the unlocking sleeve is special advantageous because it also prevents incorrect assembly. Finally, this also blocks the insertion of an incorrectly oriented connector housing into the release sleeve. As an additional advantage, correct assembly is made significantly easier for a fitter.
  • the connector housing can preferably be square or rectangular in cross section. It can preferably have four sides, in particular two broad sides and two narrow sides, which are parallel to one another. Accordingly, the unlocking sleeve can also have a matching rectangular or square cross-sectional shape.
  • the unlocking sleeve can have exactly one polarization element.
  • the polarization element can be arranged on one side of the unlocking sleeve, this side of the unlocking sleeve being accordingly also referred to as the coding side.
  • the polarization element blocks the plugging process if the plug connector is oriented incorrectly, i.e. in the wrong polarization, and is to be plugged into a mating plug connector.
  • the polarization element is designed in particular in such a way that it prevents incorrect plugging, since it advantageously hits the mating connector in advance, that is to say before the plug connector insert accommodated in the plug connector housing. This advantageously prevents damage to the connector insert. If the connector is correctly oriented relative to the mating connector, i.e. with correct polarization, plugging is possible without any problems.
  • the polarization element can form the said inside contour of the coding side of the unlocking sleeve or at least be part of it.
  • the contour of the opposite side can be designed differently; for example, it could be a flat contour. In particular, this side can also have locking and/or guiding means, which is why it is also referred to below as the guiding side.
  • a further advantage is that the plug-in security and the assembly security are increased by the at least one polarization element and in particular by the different internal design of these two opposite sides of the unlocking sleeve, namely the coding side and the guide side.
  • What is particularly advantageous is that there is no significant transport risk for the polarization element.
  • the polarization element is - unlike in many known designs - not exposed to any relevant external environmental influences. This in turn increases the lifespan of the connector.
  • the polarization element can be attached to the plug connector in a particularly stable manner according to the aforementioned design.
  • the connector housing has a corresponding counter contour on the side that faces the polarization element after correct assembly, with which the polarization element can interact for unlocking and locking.
  • This counter contour can, for example, have at least one, in particular at least two, parallel elevations, which in the assembled state are arranged on both sides of the polarization element and guide the unlocking sleeve on its polarization element in the plugging direction, so that the unlocking sleeve is held on the connector housing so that it can move in and against the plugging direction.
  • this contour can have a recess.
  • the distance between the two said elevations or the width of this recess can be approximately Width of the polarization element correspond to or be slightly larger than this, i.e. the width of the polarization element z. B. by up to 4%, preferably up to 7%, particularly preferably up to 10%, in particular up to 13% and possibly even up to 16%.
  • the unlocking element can be guided on the connector housing, if necessary with the necessary "play", i.e. the mechanical tolerance, and its polarization is still fixed.
  • This counter contour serves to further increase the plugging security and installation security, because it means that neither mounting nor plugging in the wrong polarization is possible.
  • At least one locking hook is arranged for locking the connector with the mating connector.
  • This can, for example, be arranged in the middle of the unlocking sleeve.
  • the locking hook is advantageously arranged opposite the polarization element in order to particularly effectively prevent incorrect insertion in incorrect polarization.
  • the number of locking hooks is arbitrary, but the use of one locking hook has proven to be advantageous.
  • the locking hook therefore has at least a double function and in particular even a triple function. Firstly, it advantageously serves to securely hold the unlocking sleeve on the connector housing. Secondly, the locking hook serves to protect against polarization, i.e. to block incorrect mating, and thirdly, it also increases assembly security as it prevents the unlocking sleeve from being incorrectly plugged onto the connector housing.
  • the unlocking sleeve has at least one corresponding holding area on its guide side, into which the locking hook can engage, so that the unlocking sleeve is securely held on the connector housing.
  • the number of areas required depends on the number of locking hooks and is therefore arbitrary.
  • At least one guide rail is formed on both sides of the locking hook on the connector housing, which further simplifies the insertion of the connector housing into the unlocking sleeve for the user.
  • the number of guide rails is arbitrary.
  • the unlocking sleeve has corresponding areas on the associated side into which the at least one guide rail can engage. This further simplifies assembly.
  • the polarization element is a substantially cuboid inner molding of the insulating sleeve.
  • the term “essentially” can be interpreted as meaning that the shape of the polarization element deviates from the cuboid shape at least in a plug-side end section in that the polarization element has a conical shape in this end section, i.e. tapers conically towards the plug-side end, i.e. becomes narrower . It can be rounded in this section.
  • the polarization element is designed to taper conically at least in some areas.
  • the polarization element is designed to be at least conically tapered towards its end.
  • the tapered side more precisely the tapered end, points in the direction of the plug-in side. This tapered end then acts similarly to an insertion bevel and makes plugging in with the mating connector considerably easier.
  • the shape enables tolerance compensation in areas, which allows plug connectors to be plugged together with, for example, a Mating connector makes it much easier for a user.
  • the connector is pre-adjusted by this shape in the direction of the mating connector when it is inserted from the first mechanical contact of the corresponding housing parts.
  • the end of the polarization element can be essentially trapezoidal.
  • any other suitable geometric shape is also conceivable, through which the polarization element tapers in the plug-in direction, for example triangular, round, oval, etc.
  • the shape of the polarization element must be chosen so that it interacts well with a corresponding recess in the mating connector can and can be easily inserted into the recess for a user without great effort without tilting.
  • the shape of the polarization element is advantageously easy to manufacture.
  • the polarization element can be inserted into a recess which is arranged on one side of the mating connector housing.
  • This recess can be a window of a side wall of the mating connector housing that is open on the plug-in side.
  • the recess can also consist of a depression. The combination of polarization element and recess ensures particularly advantageous both the optimal plug-in polarization and the optimal assembly polarization. This prevents incorrect assembly and mating because the plug connector and mating plug connector can only be plugged together in a single orientation.
  • the polarization element therefore has a dual function. On the one hand, it makes it easier to assemble correctly with the connector housing. For the On the other hand, it ensures the correct polarization of the assembled connector with the mating connector.
  • the connector is made of a stable material, especially metal or plastic.
  • the components of the connector can consist of the same and/or different materials.
  • Another advantage of plastic is its insulating properties, while metal advantageously offers high stability and resilience.
  • the connector or at least one of its components is made of plastic because these parts can then be produced inexpensively and efficiently using the injection molding process.
  • the connector consists at least partially of injection molded elements.
  • the connector is a so-called “push-pull connector”.
  • the connection of the polarization element with the PushPull connector is particularly advantageous.
  • Such a push-pull connector is usually characterized by the fact that it has an unlocking sleeve, in particular the aforementioned one.
  • the respective unlocking sleeve of the connector must be pulled against the plugging direction, i.e. away from the mating connector, so that both the operation of the unlocking device and the separation of the plug from the mating connector are carried out in a single direction of movement and thus with a single hand movement.
  • the use of conventional polarization elements in the plug-in process is therefore more difficult for structural reasons.
  • the invention provides a particularly advantageous solution here, since experience has shown that with push-pull connectors in the prior art, the above-mentioned incorrect assembly and incorrect connection unfortunately occur very often.
  • a preferred system for a plug connection has the plug connector and a mating plug connector.
  • the mating connector has two opposite outer sides, one of which corresponds to the guide side and the other to the coding side of the unlocking sleeve, i.e. is brought into mechanical contact with the mating connector when the connector is inserted.
  • These two opposite outer sides of the mating connector differ from each other in their outer contour in that they have different formations and/or recesses.
  • the contour of each of these two outer sides is suitable for interacting with the inside contours of the associated guide or coding side of the unlocking sleeve during the plugging process and thus to enable the plugging process if the polarization is correct and to prevent the plugging process if the polarization is incorrect.
  • one of the two sides has a polarization recess corresponding to the polarization element or a polarization formation corresponding thereto.
  • the polarization recess can be a recess designed according to the shape of the polarization element, which is designed to be minimally wider than the polarization element so that it can advantageously be guided in it without tilting or jamming.
  • the polarization molding can, for example, have at least one, in particular at least two, parallel elevations, which in the assembled state are arranged on both sides of the polarization element and the unlocking sleeve its polarization element in the plug-in direction, so that the unlocking sleeve is held on the connector housing so that it can be moved in and against the plug-in direction.
  • the distance between the two said elevations or the width of this recess can correspond approximately to the width of the polarization element or be slightly larger than this, i.e. the width of the polarization element, for example, by up to 4%, preferably up to 7%, particularly preferably up to 10 %, especially up to 13% and possibly even up to 16%.
  • the unlocking element can be guided on the housing of the mating connector, if necessary with the necessary "play", i.e. the mechanical tolerance, and its polarization is still fixed.
  • This counter-contour serves to further increase the plugging security and installation security, because it means that plugging in the wrong polarization is not possible.
  • the polarization element When plugged in, the polarization element is guided in this polarization molding or in the polarization recess of the mating connector. This is preferably done in advance, i.e. before the connector insert, more precisely the contact elements accommodated therein, and the mating connector insert, in particular contact elements accommodated therein, come into contact with one another or come into mechanical and electrical contact. This means that incorrect electrical contact is excluded. This is overall advantageous due to the orientation during assembly, the orientation when plugging in and the different internal design of the sides of the unlocking sleeve, which is therefore optimally protected.
