Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steckerbuchse für Steckerstifte mit einer an einen Steckerstift andrückbaren Kontaktfläche, einem Leiteranschlußbereich und einer Isolierstoffummantelung, wobei die Steckerbuchse zwischen der Kontaktfläche und dem Leiteranschlußbereich einen hülsenförmigen Grundkörper aufweist; die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen einer derartigen Steckerbuchse.The invention relates to a plug socket for plug pins with a contact surface that can be pressed onto a plug pin, a conductor connection area and an insulating jacket, the socket having a sleeve-shaped base body between the contact surface and the conductor connection area; the invention further relates to a device for producing such a socket.

Solche Steckerbuchsen finden vor allem in Kleingerätesteckern, z. B. für Rasierapparate, Verwendung und müssen gegen das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit gut geschützt sowie sehr häufig mit einem korrespondierenden Steckerstift verbindbar und von diesem wieder lösbar sein. Hierbei dient üblicherweise die Isolierstoffummantelung gleichzeitig als Handhabe zum Verbinden und Lösen der Steckverbindung, aus welcher lediglich der ummantelte Bereich des Anschlußkabels herausragt.Such sockets are mainly found in small device plugs, e.g. B. for shavers, use and must be well protected against the ingress of moisture and very often connectable with a corresponding plug pin and be detachable from this again. In this case, the insulating material sheath usually serves at the same time as a handle for connecting and disconnecting the plug connection, from which only the sheathed area of the connecting cable protrudes.

Beim Umspritzen der Steckerbuchse mit der Isolierstoffummantelung ist darauf zu achten, daß die Kontaktflächen von dem Isolierstoff frei bleiben. Dies ist jedoch insofern schwierig, als Steckerbuchsen üblicherweise aus endlosen Materialbahnen einstückig ausgestanzt und anschließend aus dem Zuschnitt (Stanzteil) durch ein oder mehrere Biegevorgänge hergestellt werden. Der Hülsenbereich der Steckerbuchse bildet dabei zusammen mit dem Kontaktbereich einen einheitlichen Hohlraum mit mehreren Öffnungen, durch welche der Isolierstoff beim Ummanteln der Steckerbuchse im Spritzgußverfahren eindringen und somit auch bis in den Kontaktbereich gelangen kann.When encapsulating the socket with the insulating material, make sure that the contact surfaces remain free of the insulating material. However, this is difficult insofar as plug sockets are usually stamped in one piece from endless material webs and then produced from the blank (stamped part) by one or more bending processes will. The sleeve area of the plug socket, together with the contact area, forms a uniform cavity with a plurality of openings through which the insulating material can penetrate during the sheathing of the plug socket in the injection molding process and can thus also reach the contact area.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steckerbuchse der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die ein einfaches Ummanteln mit Isolierstoff gestattet, ohne daß die Kontaktflächen mit dem Isolierstoff in Berührung kommen, insbesondere soll die Steckerbuchse maßgenau in der Ummantelung zentriert sein; außerdem soll eine Vorrichtung zum einfachen Herstellen solcher Steckerbuchsen mit einer im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellten Ummantelung bereitgestellt werden.Proceeding from this, the invention has for its object to provide a socket of the type mentioned, which allows a simple sheathing with insulating material without the contact surfaces coming into contact with the insulating material, in particular, the connector should be centered accurately in the jacket; In addition, a device for the simple manufacture of such sockets with a sheath produced by injection molding is to be provided.

Als technische Lösung wird hierzu hinsichtlich einer Steckerbuchse der eingangs genannten Art vorgeschlagen, daß eine Teilfläche der Grundkörperwand um eine etwa rechtwinklig zur Steckachse sich erstreckende Biegelinie in den Grundkörperhohlraum hineingebogen ist und mit ihrem Rand an der Innenwand des Grundkörperhohlraumes anliegt.As a technical solution to this, it is proposed with regard to a plug socket of the type mentioned at the outset that a partial surface of the base body wall is bent into the base body cavity about a bending line extending approximately at right angles to the plug axis and its edge rests on the inner wall of the base body cavity.

Die Erfindung basiert also auf dem Grundgedanken, den Kontaktbereich der Steckerbuchse von der Seite des Grundkörpers her gegen rückwärtiges Eindringen von Isolierstoffmaterial in den Grundkörper und den Kontaktbereich dadurch zu schützen, daß eine von der Grundkörperwand gebildete umgebogene Sperrscheibe die rückwärtige Stirnfläche des Grundkörpers gegen das Eindringen von Isolierstoffmaterial abdichtet.The invention is therefore based on the basic idea of protecting the contact area of the socket from the side of the base body against the backward penetration of insulating material into the base body and the contact area in that a bent locking disk formed by the base body wall protects the rear end face of the base body against the ingress of Insulating material seals.

Wenn bei einer solchen Steckerbuchse, gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung, zumindest ein Teilbereich des Randes der Teilfläche in einer in der Innenwand des Grundkörpers vorgesehenen Rille gehalten ist, wird eine besonders gute Dichtigkeit gegen gespritztes Isolierstoffmaterial erreicht. Außerdem können somit Toleranzen zwischen der als Sperrscheibe dienenden Teilfläche und dem Grundkörper aufgefangen werden. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Rille besteht darin, daß bei dem Biegevorgang, mit dem der hülsenförmige Grundkörper hergestellt wird, keine zu großen radialen Kräfte auf die bereits umgebogene, die Sperrscheibe bildende Teilfläche ausgeübt werden; die Rille kann nämlich ein Ubermaß aufweisen, so daß elastische, radiale Verformungskräfte auf die Außenwand des Grundkörpers nicht oder nur unvollständig auf die Sperrscheibe übertragen werden.If in such a plug socket, according to a development of the invention, at least a partial area of the edge of the partial surface is provided in one in the inner wall of the base body Groove is held, a particularly good seal against sprayed insulating material is achieved. In addition, tolerances between the partial surface serving as a locking disk and the base body can thus be absorbed. Another advantage of this groove is that, in the bending process with which the sleeve-shaped base body is produced, no excessive radial forces are exerted on the already bent-over part surface forming the locking disk; the groove can namely have an oversize, so that elastic, radial deformation forces are not or only incompletely transmitted to the locking disk on the outer wall of the base body.

Wenn gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung die die Sperrscheibe bildende Teilfläche ein zu der Kontaktfläche konzentrisches Loch aufweist, kann dieses als Zentrierhilfe für eine weiter unten beschriebene Spritzhilfe dienen. Die Querschnittsfläche eines solchen Loches ist bevorzugt kleiner als die von der Kontaktfläche aufgespannte Steckerdurchtrittsfläche; der das Loch umgebende Rand der Sperrscheibe dient dann zur Abstützung der Spritzhilfe in axialer Richtung.If, according to another development of the invention, the partial surface forming the locking disk has a hole which is concentric with the contact surface, this can serve as a centering aid for a spraying aid described below. The cross-sectional area of such a hole is preferably smaller than the plug passage area spanned by the contact area; the edge of the locking disk surrounding the hole then serves to support the spraying aid in the axial direction.

Gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann die Steckerbuchse von einer in Steckrichtung über den Grundkörper geschobenen und formschlüssig daran anliegenden Hülse mit einer Steckerdurchtrittsöffnung umgeben sein. Hierdurch werden die die Kontaktflächen auf ihrer inneren Oberfläche aufweisenden Federelemente der Steckerbuchse auch im Bereich ihrer nach außen weisenden Oberfläche von dem Isolierstoffmaterial freigehalten. Ebenso kann dann in die zwangsläufig durch das Umbiegen der Sperrscheibe gebildete Öffnung in der Grundkörperwand kein Isolierstoffmaterial eindringen.According to another development of the invention, the plug socket can be surrounded by a sleeve with a plug passage opening which is pushed over the base body in the plug-in direction and positively abuts against it. As a result, the spring elements of the plug socket which have the contact surfaces on their inner surface are also kept free of the insulating material in the region of their outwardly facing surface. Likewise, no insulating material can then penetrate into the opening in the base body wall which is inevitably formed by the bending of the locking disk.

Uberraschenderweise hat sich aber gezeigt, daß die Verwendung der vorerwähnten Hülse nicht zwingend erforderlich ist. Entscheidend dafür, daß die Kontaktflächen frei von dem Isolierstoffmaterial bleiben, ist nämlich die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Sperrscheibe, die ein axiales Eintreten des Isolierstoffmaterials von hinten in die Steckerbuchse verhindert. Uberraschenderweise gelingt es dem Isolierstoffmaterial nämlich bei racialem Eindringen in die Steckerbuchse nicht, sich zwischen die Kontaktfläche und einen vor dem Ummantelungsprozeß eingeschobenen Steckerstift zu schieben.Surprisingly, it has been shown that the use of the aforementioned sleeve is not absolutely necessary. Crucial for the fact that the contact surfaces are free from the Remaining insulating material is namely the locking disk provided according to the invention, which prevents the insulating material from axially entering the connector socket from behind. Surprisingly, the insulating material does not succeed in inserting racial penetration into the socket between the contact surface and a plug inserted before the sheathing process.

Die Erfindung wird hinsichtlich einer Vorrichtung zum Herstellen der Isolierstoffummantelung einer erfindungsgemäßen Steckerbuchse im Spritzgußverfahren durch einen in der Spritzgußform koaxial zur Steckachse der Steckerbuchse angeordneten, für die Steckerbuchse passenden Steckerstift als Steckhilfe gelöst. Dieser Steckerstift deckt also die Kontaktflächen der Steckerbuchse ab. Diese Abdeckung wird während des ganzen Spritzgußvorganges beibehalten.The invention is achieved with regard to a device for producing the insulating material sheathing of a plug socket according to the invention in the injection molding process by a plug pin arranged in the injection mold coaxially with the plug axis of the plug socket and suitable for the plug socket as a plug-in aid. This plug pin therefore covers the contact surfaces of the socket. This cover is maintained throughout the injection molding process.

Wenn die Spritzhilfe, gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung, einen konischen Endbereich außerhalb der Steckerbuchse aufweist, wird hierdurch das Zentrieren des Steckerstiftes beim Einsetzen in die Steckerbuchse erleichtert.If, according to a further development of the invention, the spraying aid has a conical end region outside the plug socket, this makes it easier to center the plug pin when it is inserted into the plug socket.

Bevorzugt weist die Spritzhilfe eine Zentrierspitze mit anschließender Anschlagfläche auf, wobei die Zentrierspitze in das Loch der die Sperrscheibe bildenden Teilfläche der Steckerbuchse hineinpaßt und die Anschlagfläche die axiale Endlage der Spritzhilfe festlegt.The spraying aid preferably has a centering tip with an adjoining stop face, the centering tip fitting into the hole in the partial surface of the plug socket forming the locking disk and the stop face defining the axial end position of the spraying aid.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Steckerbuchse und der Vorrichtung für ihre Herstellung ist es erstmals gelungen, auf einfache Weise, insbesondere im Spritzgußverfahren, die Steckerbuchse mit Isolierstoff zu ummanteln, ohne daß die Kontaktflächen mit dem Isolierstoff in Berührung kommen.With the plug socket according to the invention and the device for its manufacture, it was possible for the first time to simple Way, especially in the injection molding process, to coat the socket with insulating material without the contact surfaces coming into contact with the insulating material.

Further details, features and advantages of the subject matter of the invention result from the following description of the associated drawing, in which two preferred embodiments of a plug socket according to the invention have been shown. The drawing shows:

Gemäß Fig. 1 weist eine erfindungsgemäße Steckerbuchse einen hülsenförmigen Grundkörper 1 auf, an dessen Stirnseiten sich einerseits ein Leiteranschlußbereich 2 und andererseits ein Kontaktbereich 3 anschließen. Der Leiteranschlußbereich 2 besteht in bekannter Weise aus einem Crimpbereich 4 zum Kontaktieren eines Leiterdrahtes 6 und einem Crimpbereich 5 zum Festklemmen eines Isoliermantels 7 des Leiterdrahtes 6. Der Kontaktbereich 3 weist Federarme 8 auf, deren innere Oberflächen die Kontaktflächen 9 für einen Steckerstift bilden.1, a plug socket according to the invention has a sleeve-shaped base body 1, on the front sides of which a conductor connection area 2 and on the other hand a contact area 3 are connected. The conductor connection area 2 consists in a known manner of a crimp area 4 for contacting a conductor wire 6 and a crimp area 5 for clamping an insulating jacket 7 of the conductor wire 6. The contact area 3 has spring arms 8, the inner surfaces of which form the contact surfaces 9 for a plug pin.

Der Grundkörper 1 kann - wie dargestellt - aus einer zylindrischen Hülse mit Längsschlitz 10 bestehen. Eine solche einstückige Steckerbuchse wird dadurch hergestellt, daß zunächst ein entsprechendes Flächenmuster aus einem Flachmaterial ausgestanzt und dann zu der Steckerbuchse gebogen wird. Die erfindungsgemäße Steckerbuchse entsteht nun dadurch, daß beim Ausstanzen aus dem Flächenmaterial im Bereich der Grundkörperwand eine Teilfläche 11 derart freigeschnitten wird, daß ein Bereich 12 des Randes der Teilfläche 11 mit der Grundkörperwand verbunden bleibt und der Grundriß der Teilfläche 11 dem inneren Querschnitt des fertig gebogenen hülsenförmigen Grundkörpers 1 möglichst genau entspricht. Der Bereich 12 bildet eine Biegelinie, die sich etwa rechtwinklig zur Steckrichtung E der Steckerbuchse erstreckt. An dieser Biegelinie wird die Teilfläche um etwa 90° in den späteren Grundkörperhohlraum 13 hineingebogen. Danach wird die restliche Grundkörperwand zu dem hülsenförmigen Grundkörper 1 gebogen. Hierbei legt sich die Grundkörperwand radial an die Teilfläche 11 an, welche nunmehr ihre Funktion als Sperrscheibe - wie nachfolgend beschrieben - erfüllen kann.The base body 1 can - as shown - consist of a cylindrical sleeve with a longitudinal slot 10. Such a one-piece plug socket is produced by first punching out a corresponding surface pattern from a flat material and then bending it to form the plug socket. The plug socket according to the invention now arises from the fact that when punching out the sheet material in the area of the base body wall, a partial surface 11 is cut free in such a way that a region 12 of the edge of the partial surface 11 remains connected to the base body wall and the outline of the partial surface 11 is the inner cross section of the finished bent sleeve-shaped base body 1 corresponds as closely as possible. The area 12 forms a bending line which extends approximately at right angles to the plug direction E of the plug socket. At this bending line, the partial surface is bent into the later main body cavity 13 by approximately 90 °. The remaining base body wall is then bent into the sleeve-shaped base body 1. Here, the base body wall lies radially on the partial surface 11, which can now fulfill its function as a locking disk - as described below.

Bevorzugt ist der Rand 14 der Teilfläche (Sperrscheibe) 11 in einer in der Innenwand 15 z.B. durch Einprägen vorgesehenen Rille 16 gehalten.The edge 14 of the partial surface (locking disk) 11 is preferably in a in the inner wall 15 e.g. groove 16 provided by embossing.

Gemäß Fig. 4 kann die Steckerbuchse von einer in Steckrichtung E über den Grundkörper 1 geschobenen und formschlüssig daran anliegenden Hülse 17 mit einer Steckerdurchtrittöffnung 18 umgeben sein; hierbei kann der Leiteranschlußbereich 2 von der Hülse 17 unbedeckt bleiben. Beim Ummanteln der Steckerbuchse mit Isolierstoff ist die mit dem Leiter bereits vercrimpte Steckerbuchse in eine entsprechende Spritzgußform von einem Ende her eingeführt und auf einen als Spritzhilfe dienenden Steckerstift 19 aufgeschoben. Dieser Steckerstift dichtet die Steckerdurchtrittöffnung 18 ab und verhindert somit ein Eindringen des Isolierstoffmaterials der Isolierstoffummantelung 20.According to FIG. 4, the plug socket can be surrounded by a sleeve 17 with a plug passage opening 18 which is pushed over the base body 1 in the plug-in direction E and positively abuts thereon; in this case the conductor connection area 2 can remain uncovered by the sleeve 17. When jacketing the plug socket with insulating material, the plug socket, which has already been crimped to the conductor, is inserted into a corresponding injection mold from one end and pushed onto a plug pin 19 serving as a spraying aid. This plug pin seals the plug passage opening 18 and thus prevents the insulation material of the insulation jacket 20 from penetrating.

Wie sich aus den Fig. 5 bis 8 ergibt, kann die Sperrscheibe 11 ein zu der von der Kontaktfläche 9 senkrecht zur Steckrichtung E aufgespannten Fläche konzentrisches Loch 21 aufweisen. In dieses Loch wird - in ähnlicher Weise wie mit Fig. 4 beschrieben - ein als Spritzhilfe dienender Steckerstift 22 mit seiner Zentrierspitze 23 so weit eingeführt, bis eine Anschlagfläche 24 des Steckerstiftes 22 am Rand des Loches 21 anliegt. Der Steckerstift 22 kann Bestandteil einer Spritzgußform 25 sein, in die er koaxial zur vorgesehenen Steckachse 26 eingesetzt ist und aus der er, beginnend mit seinem konischen Endbereich 27, herausragt.As can be seen from FIGS. 5 to 8, the locking disk 11 can have a hole 21 which is concentric with the surface spanned by the contact surface 9 perpendicular to the plug-in direction E. In a similar manner to that described in FIG. 4, a plug pin 22 serving as a spraying aid is inserted into this hole with its centering tip 23 until a stop surface 24 of the plug pin 22 abuts the edge of the hole 21. The plug pin 22 can be part of an injection mold 25, into which it is inserted coaxially to the intended plug-in axis 26 and from which it protrudes, beginning with its conical end region 27.
