Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Adapter-Steckergehäuse zur Aufnahme eines Steckerteiles und ein Adapter-Buchsengehäuse zur Aufnahme eines Buchsenteils nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 oder des Anspruchs 2The invention relates to an adapter plug housing for receiving a plug part and an adapter socket housing for receiving a socket part according to the preamble of claim 1 or claim 2

Adaptergehäuse der gattungsgemäßen Art ermöglichen den Einsatz der in sie eingesetzten Stecker- und Buchsenteile auch in rauerer Umgebung - beispielsweise in Produktionsanlagen oder Fahrzeugen - durch Erreichen einer im Vergleich zur Schutzklasse des Steckerteils höheren Schutzklasse wie z.B. IP65 oder IP67.Adapter housings of the generic type allow the use of the plug and socket parts used in them even in harsher environment - for example in production plants or vehicles - by reaching a higher than the protection class of the plug part protection class such. IP65 or IP67.

Eine erste derartige Anordnung für einen Telefonstecker ist aus der US 4,349,236 (Bell Telephone Laboratories) bekannt.A first such arrangement for a telephone plug is from the US 4,349,236 (Bell Telephone Laboratories).

Weiterentwickelt bzw. verankert wurde die Idee des Erreichens höher Anforderungen aus Umgebungsklassifikationen beispielsweise in der gattungsgemäßen US 6,475,009 B2 und der US 6,595,791 B2 . In dieser Schrift werden verschiedene Adapter-Steckergehäuse und Adapter-Buchsengehäuse offenbart, welche jeweils zur Aufnahme von RJ45-Steckern bzw. von RJ45-Buchsen geeignet sind.Further developed or anchored was the idea of reaching higher requirements from environmental classifications, for example in the generic US 6,475,009 B2 and the US 6,595,791 B2 , In this document, various adapter plug housing and adapter socket housing are disclosed, which are each suitable for receiving RJ45 plugs or RJ45 sockets.

In der EP 1 594 196 A1 wird eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Steckverbinders in einem Modulgehäuses eines Modulsteckers offenbart. In dem Modulgehäuse sind Rastfedern angeordnet, die eine Fixierung des eingefügten Steckverbinders bewirken. Es ist ein Federelement beschrieben, dessen Endbereiche in Schlitze des Modulgehäuses eingesetzt werden. Um eine Fixierung des Federelementes in den Schlitzen des Modulgehäuses zu erreichen, ist das Federelement gekrümmt ausgebildet. Dies kann jedoch dazu führten, dass die Rastfederordnung sich insbesondere in einer rauen Umgebung aus den Schlitzen löst, da eine sichere Fixierung der Rastfederanordnung am Modulgehäuse nicht gegeben ist. Zudem ist die U-förmige Gestaltung der Rastfederanordnung mit einer eingeformten Rastfeder recht aufwändig in der Herstellung und damit auch kostenintensiv.In the EP 1 594 196 A1 a device for mounting a connector in a module housing of a module plug is disclosed. In the module housing locking springs are arranged, which cause a fixation of the inserted connector. It is a spring element described, the end portions are inserted into slots of the module housing. In order to achieve a fixation of the spring element in the slots of the module housing, the spring element is curved. However, this can result in that the detent spring arrangement is released from the slots, in particular in a harsh environment, since a secure fixation of the detent spring arrangement on the module housing is not given. In addition, the U-shaped design of the detent spring assembly with a molded detent spring is quite complex to manufacture and therefore costly.

Die JP 2004 319158 A befasst sich mit einer Verbindung zwischen einem zylinderförmigen Lampengehäuse und einem Verbindungsteil. Das Verbindungsteil weist an seiner Außenseite eine Anformung auf, die mit Klemmzungen verbunden ist. Beim Einschieben des Verbindungsteils in das Lampengehäuse drücken die Klemmzungen gegen die Innenseite des Lampengehäuses und führen damit zu einer Arretierung. Allerdings ist die Klemmung wenig stabil und kann sich insbesondere in einer rauen Umgebung wieder leicht lösen.The JP 2004 319158 A deals with a connection between a cylindrical lamp housing and a connecting part. The connecting part has on its outside a Anformung, which is connected with clamping tongues. When inserting the connecting part in the lamp housing press the clamping tongues against the inside of the lamp housing and thus lead to a lock. However, the clamping is less stable and can be easily solved, especially in a harsh environment.

Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, eine Rasthakenanordnung für die Verrastung eines Siecker- oder eines Buchsenteils in einem Adapter-Steckergehäuse zu schaffen, die einfach und kostengünstig herstellbar ist, dabei leicht montierbar und zudem sicher am Adapter-Steckergehäuse oder am Adapter-Buchsenteil arretierbar ist, so dass sie auch bei hohen mechanischen und chemischen Beanspruchungen in einer rauen Umgebung sich nicht von dem Adapter-Steckergehäuse oder dem Adapter- Buchsengehäuse löst und eine zuverlässige Verrastung des Stecker- oder Buchsenteils mit dem Adapter-Steckergehäuse oder dem Adapter-Buchsengehäuse gewährleistet ist.The invention has the object to provide a latching hook assembly for locking a Siecker- or a female part in an adapter plug housing, which is simple and inexpensive to produce, while easy to install and also lockable on the adapter plug housing or on the adapter socket part, so that it does not detach itself from the adapter plug housing or the adapter socket housing, even under high mechanical and chemical stresses in a harsh environment, and reliable locking of the plug or socket part with the adapter plug housing or the adapter socket housing is ensured.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 und durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 2.The invention achieves this object by the subject matter of claim 1 and by the subject matter of claim 2.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

Die geschaffenen Adapter-Buchsen- und Steckerteile ermöglichen den Einsatz der Stecker- oder Buchsenteile auch in rauer Umgebung. Der Begriff Stecker- oder Buchsenteil ist nicht einschränkend zu verstehen. Es können am Stecker- oder Buchsenteil Lichtleitelemente, elektrische Stift- und/oder Buchsenkontakte verschiedenster Bauart oder z.B. auch Elemente zur pneumatischen Steckverbindung ausgebildet sein.The created adapter socket and plug parts enable the use of the plug or socket parts even in harsh environments. The term plug or socket part is not meant to be limiting. At the plug or socket part, light-guiding elements, electrical pin and / or socket contacts of various types or e.g. Also be formed elements for pneumatic connector.

Dabei sind die Adapter-Stecker- und Adapter-Buchsenteile derart weiterentwickelt, dass sie sich durch wenigstens einen robusten und leicht herstellbaren, separaten Verriegelungshaken (auch Rasthakenanordnung genannt) auszeichnen.The adapter plug and adapter socket parts are further developed such that they are characterized by at least one robust and easy to produce, separate locking hook (also called snap hook arrangement).

Derart separat ausgebildete Verriegelungshaken sind gegenüber dem in der US 6,595,791 B2 in Fig. 10 gezeigten, einstückig angeformten Verrieglungshaken optimaler an den Einsatzzweck anpassbar, da sie beispielsweise auch aus einem anderen Material - wie einer besonderen Metall-Legierung oder einem Kunststoff oder Mischformen dieser Materialen - bestehen können als die Adaptergehäuse selbst. Ferner bestehen hinsichtlich der Formgestaltung weniger Zwänge als bei einem einstückigen Anformen. Insbesondere ist dieser Rasthaken vielleicht für ein Kunststoffgehäuse, nicht aber auch für ein Metallgehäuse geeignet, da die benötigten Federeigenschaften z.B. im Zinkdruckgussverfahren nicht optimal erreicht werden könnenSuch separately formed locking hooks are compared to those in the US 6,595,791 B2 in Fig. 10 shown, integrally molded Verrieglungshaken optimally adaptable to the purpose, since they may for example consist of another material - such as a special metal alloy or a plastic or mixed forms of these materials - than the adapter housing itself. Furthermore, there are fewer constraints in terms of shape design than at a one-piece molding. In particular, this latching hook is perhaps suitable for a plastic housing, but not for a metal housing, since the required spring properties can not be optimally achieved, for example in zinc die-casting

Vorteilhaft ist auch, dass das Adapter-Buchsengehäuse sogar mit zwei der separaten Rasthakenanordnungen versehen werden kann, was einen besonders festen und sicheren Sitz des Buchsenteils in dessen Adaptergehäuse ermöglicht.It is also advantageous that the adapter socket housing can even be provided with two of the separate locking hook arrangements, which allows a particularly firm and secure fit of the socket part in the adapter housing.

Nach den bevorzugten Varianten ist die Montage einfach und schnell realisierbar. Durch die Ausgestaltung als Platte ergibt sich die funkionswirksame und platzsparende Möglichkeit zur Herstellung eines kostengünstigen Stanz-/Biegeteils.According to the preferred variants, the assembly is easy and quick to implement. Due to the design as a plate, the funkionswirksame and space-saving way to produce a cost punched / bent part results.

  • 2SC at the distance of a SC-RJ ( Fig. 14 . Fig. 19 , Reference numerals 21d, 34d with subframe 36).

Denkbar sind weitere Ausgestaltungen der Stecker- und Buchsenteile (hier nicht dargestellt; z.B. Firewire, USB, KOAX, Sensor-/Aktor-Kontakte, Power-Kontakte usw.).Conceivable further embodiments of the plug and socket parts (not shown here, for example Firewire, USB, COAX, sensor / actuator contacts, power contacts, etc.).

Wie in der US 6,475,009B2 und der US 6,595,791 B1 sind das Adapter-Steckergehäuse 1 und das Adapter-Buchsengehäuse 2 nach Art einer Bajonettverbindung mit Zapfen 3 und Aufnahme- und Rastnuten 4 kuppelbar (wobei jeweils vorher ein Steckerteil 34 und ein Buchsenteil 21 ggf. mit Hilfsrahmen 35, 36, 38, 39 in sie eingesetzt wurden, die miteinander zu kuppeln sind).Like in the US 6,475,009B2 and the US Pat. No. 6,595,791 B1 are the adapter plug housing 1 and the adapter socket housing 2 in the manner of a bayonet connection with pin 3 and receiving and locking grooves 4 coupled (where in each case previously a plug part 34 and a socket part 21, if necessary, with subframe 35, 36, 38, 39 in it were used, which are to be coupled with each other).

Die Adapter-Buchsengehäuse 2 der Fig. 3 bis 7 und 15ff sind als Flanschgehäuse ausgebildet, d.h., sie weisen einen Flanschabschnitt 5 mit Befestigungslöchern 6 auf, welche beispielsweise von Schrauben durchsetzt werden können, um das Flanschgehäuse beispielsweise an einer Wand zu befestigen, an der eine Durchführung realisiert werden soll.The adapter socket housing 2 of the Fig. 3 to 7 and 15ff are formed as a flange housing, ie, they have a flange portion 5 with mounting holes 6, which can be penetrated by screws, for example, to attach the flange housing, for example, to a wall at which a passage is to be realized.

An den Flanschabschnitt 5 schließt sich ein hier außen zylindrischer Gehäuseabschnitt 7 an, der in seinem sich an den Flanschabschnitt anschließenden Bereich ein Außengewinde 8 aufweist und dann einen Abschnitt mit den Rastnuten 4 des Bajonettverschlusses.The flange section 5 is adjoined by a housing section 7 which is cylindrical on the outside and which has an external thread 8 in its region adjoining the flange section and then a section with the latching grooves 4 of the bayonet closure.

Auf dem Abschnitt mit dem Außengewinde 8 sind (siehe auch Fig. 4 und 5) eine Mutter 9 und ggf. ein Dichtring 10 anbringbar, die eine Festlegung an einer Durchführung einer Wand erlauben.On the section with the external thread 8 are (see also Fig. 4 and 5 ) a nut 9 and possibly a sealing ring 10 attachable, which allow a determination on a passage of a wall.

Derart wird ein vorteilhaftes Multifunktionsteil geschaffen, dass alternativ von hinten/innen durch die Wand geschoben werden kann und mit einer Zentralverschraubung befestigt wird oder dass vorn/außen auf die Wand gesetzt und mit vier Schrauben befestigt werden kann, so dass beide Einbausituationen mit einem Teil abgedeckt werden können.Thus, an advantageous multi-functional part is created that can alternatively be pushed from behind / inside through the wall and fixed with a central screw or that can be placed on the wall front / outside on the wall and fixed with four screws, so that both installation situations covered with a part can be.

Nach innen hin weist das Adapter-Buchsengehäuse 2 den im Wesentlichen im Querschnitt senkrechten Aufnahmeraum/Einbauraum 11b zur Aufnahme des Buchsenteils 21a auf (Fig. 3a).Towards the inside, the adapter socket housing 2 has the receiving space / installation space 11b, which is essentially vertical in cross section, for receiving the socket part 21a (FIG. Fig. 3a ).

Die Verrastung sowohl der Steckerteile 34a-d im Adapter-Steckergehäuse 1 als auch die der Buchsenteile 21 a-d im Adapter-Buchsengehäuse 2 erfolgt mit Hilfe einer Rasthakenanordnung 12 mit wenigstens einem (Adapter-Steckergehäuse 1) oder vorzugsweise zwei (Adapter-Buchsengehäuse 2; so hier in den Fig. dargestellt) oder mehr Rasthaken.The latching of both the plug parts 34a-d in the adapter plug housing 1 and the socket parts 21 ad in the adapter socket housing 2 by means of a latching hook arrangement 12 with at least one (adapter plug housing 1) or preferably two (adapter socket housing 2; shown here in the figures) or more latching hooks.

Nach den Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 und 2 sowie 3 bis 5; 6; 8 ff wird die Rasthakenanordnung 12 aus ein (Fig. 1, 2; 8 bis 14) oder aus zwei Federplatten 13, 13', 14, 24, 24' (Fig. 3 bis 6; 15ff) gebildet.According to the embodiment of Fig. 1 and 2 as well as 3 to 5; 6; 8 ff, the latching hook arrangement 12 is made of ( Fig. 1 . 2 ; 8 to 14 ) or two spring plates 13, 13 ', 14, 24, 24' ( Fig. 3 to 6 ; 15ff).

Die Federplatten 24', 24 der Fig. 2 und 6 bestehen aus Kunststoff. Ansonsten werden Metall-Federplatten 13, 13', 14 verwendet, die beispielsweise aus einem Federmetall (z.B. einem Federstahl) bestehen können. Die Federplatten aus Kunststoff können auch auf andere Weise an den Adaptergehäuse verrastet werden als die Metallplatten, insbesondere ohne Aufnahmeloch, beispielsweise durch eine axiale oder axiale und radiale Verrastbewegung/Rastanordnung.The spring plates 24 ', 24 of the Fig. 2 and 6 are made of plastic. Otherwise, metal spring plates 13, 13 ', 14 are used, which may for example consist of a spring metal (eg a spring steel). The spring plates made of plastic can also be locked in a different manner to the adapter housing than the metal plates, in particular without receiving hole, for example by an axial or axial and radial latching / latching arrangement.

Diese Federplatten 13, 13', 14 (siehe z.B. Fig. 3 und 4 oder 15) sind jeweils in Ausnehmungen 37 der Einbauräume 11a, b einsetzbar, insbesondere einschiebbar.These spring plates 13, 13 ', 14 (see, for example Fig. 3 and 4 or 15 ) are each in recesses 37 of the installation spaces 11 a, b used, in particular insertable.

Sie weisen jeweils ein Aufnahmeloch 15 auf, dass zu ihrer eigenen Verrastung an einem Rastvorsprung 18 im Adapter-Buchsengehäuse dient, und zwar im Zusammenspiel mit Unterschiebekanten/Schlitzen 20 (siehe z.B. Fig. 8 und 9), in welche Randbereiche der Federplatten 13, 13', 14 einschiebbar sind, bis die Rastvorsprünge 18 in die Aufnahmelöcher 15 einrasten. Diese Art der Montage ist einfach und sicher. Alternative Ausgestaltungen des Verrastens der Federplatten - insbesondere auch dann, wenn diese aus Kunststoff gefertigt sind - sind denkbar.They each have a receiving hole 15 that serves for its own locking on a locking projection 18 in the adapter socket housing, in conjunction with Unterschiebekanten / slots 20 (see, eg Fig. 8 and 9 ), in which edge areas of the Spring plates 13, 13 ', 14 are inserted until the locking projections 18 engage in the receiving holes 15. This type of installation is simple and safe. Alternative embodiments of Verrastens the spring plates - especially if they are made of plastic - are conceivable.

Eine schräg gestellte Kante 19 (Fig. 4) an den Federplatten 13, 13', 14 erleichtert das Einschieben von Stecker- und Buchsenteilen 34, 21.An inclined edge 19 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) on the spring plates 13, 13 ', 14 facilitates the insertion of male and female parts 34, 21st

Ausgestanzte und umgebogene Vorsprünge 17 der Federplatten 13, 13', 14 dienen als die eigentlichen Rasthaken 22, 22' zum Verrasten der einzusetzenden Steckerteile 34 oder Buchsenteile 21.Punched and bent projections 17 of the spring plates 13, 13 ', 14 serve as the actual latching hooks 22, 22' for locking the plug-in parts 34 or socket parts 21 to be used.

Die Federplatten 13, 13', 14 können aus Stahlblech bestehen.The spring plates 13, 13 ', 14 may consist of sheet steel.

Alternativ könnten sie auch aus einem anderen Metall oder - u.U. - sogar aus Kunststoff bestehen.Alternatively, they could be made of another metal or - u. - even made of plastic.

Die Metallrasthaken sind besonders robust und vielfach einsetzbar. Die Federplatten 13, 13', 14 lassen sich zudem einfach als Stanz-Biegeteile herstellen und einfach montieren.The metal snap hooks are particularly robust and can be used many times. The spring plates 13, 13 ', 14 can also be easily produced as stamped and bent parts and easy to assemble.

Werden die Rasthaken 23, 23' aus Kunststoff gebildet, können Federplatten 24, 24' aus Kunststoff gebildet werden, die innen im Adapter-Buchsengehäuse 2 festgelegt, insbesondere verrastet werden. (Fig. 2 und 6a,b).If the latching hooks 23, 23 'formed from plastic, spring plates 24, 24' may be formed of plastic, which are fixed inside the adapter socket housing 2, in particular latched. ( Fig. 2 and 6a, b ).

Werden die Rasthaken 28, 28' aus Metall gebildet, könnten sie theoretisch auch innen an das Adapter-Buchsengehäuse 2 oder das Adapter-Steckergehäuse 1 angeformt sein (Fig. 7, 20), falls dies werkzeugtechnisch machbar ist. Diese beiden Varianten sind kostengünstiger als die der Fig. 1 und 3, werden aber weniger bevorzugt, da diese Rasthaken 28, 28' in Metallgehäuse nur schlechte Federeigenschaften besitzen und nur schwer herstellbar sind.If the latching hooks 28, 28 'are formed from metal, they could theoretically also be formed on the inside of the adapter socket housing 2 or the adapter plug housing 1 ( Fig. 7 . 20 ), if this is technically feasible. These two variants are cheaper than the Fig. 1 and 3 but are less preferred because these locking hooks 28, 28 'in metal housing have only poor spring properties and are difficult to produce.

Denkbar ist es auch, Kunststoff- oder Metall-Verriegelungsfedern einzusetzen und diese zu umhüllen (hier nicht dargestellt).It is also conceivable to use plastic or metal locking springs and to envelop them (not shown here).

Als vorteilhaft in Hinsicht auf das Adapter-Steckergehäuse (1) zu erwähnen ist noch die einfache Möglichkeit zur Anbringung von Markierungen an den verschiedenen Flächen. Als Dichtungen sind O-Ring-Dichtungen verwendbar. Es sind zudem Vertiefungen 16 vorhanden, die zur Aufnahme von Markieren 26 oder dgl. geeignet sind.To mention as advantageous in terms of the adapter plug housing (1) is still the easy way to attach marks on the different surfaces. As seals O-ring seals are used. There are also depressions 16 which are suitable for receiving markers 26 or the like.

Es ist auch denkbar, eine Nut zur Aufnahme eines vorzugsweise geschlitzten Ringes 33 zur Markierung vorzusehen. Es kann ferner eine (von zwei) größere Fase in einer der vier Ecken des Einbauraumes 11b (Adapter-Buchsengehäuse 2) bzw. 11a (Adapter-Steckergehäuse 1) ausgebildet sein, die vorteilhafterweise als 180°-Verdrehschutz dient.
