Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such plugs are known (compare DE-PS 38 07 717); they are used to connect an electrical device to a mains socket and thus to the power supply system of the electricity company.
  • the corresponding connection cable i.e. the consumer line is coupled to the mains socket via a protective contact plug and to the device itself via a generic device plug.
  • the finished, i.e. Completely injected device plugs are individually checked for their electrical safety using so-called contour testing devices.
  • the plug is inserted into a corresponding test form and electrically charged from the outside.
  • connectors with individual wires protruding outwards or too close to the outside can be eliminated.
  • this is with significant production, i.e. Associated testing costs.
  • a protective cap for safety plug is known from DE-OS 36 40 ⁇ 914.
  • the protective cap described there has the shape and effect of a cover, which covers the connecting pins for the protective and the current conductors on the back of the connector bridge. In this way, the space around the soldering or crimping points of the protective conductor and the current conductor is secured before the protective contact plug is encapsulated.
  • the protective cap or its interior has the shape of a triangular shaft, the end edge having a complicated shape and only partially abutting the connector bridge. It is pushed from the open side over the connector pins and grips parts of the front of the connector bridge with the help of locking lugs.
  • the type of attachment of the protective cap is the type described in the preamble because of the the rear plates used here cannot be gripped or gripped behind. Furthermore, the protective cap does not seal tightly with respect to either the plug bridge or the supply line.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is now to design parts of the connector of the generic type so that the approximately sealing attachment of a protective cap is possible in spite of the limited space in the area of the connecting pins or contact springs, in order to prevent a short circuit due to possibly protruding individual wires avoid and thus optimize electrical safety.
  • the design of the protective cap is also intended to save flexible plastic for molding.
  • the protective cap stands flush on the holding plate and is fixed by means of complementary locking means.
  • the locking means themselves are formed in particular via locking lugs and complementary recesses.
  • the locking lugs are molded onto the dividers arranged on the holding plate.
  • the protective cap is formed on the one hand as a one-piece molded part or on the other hand it consists of two half-shells (compare claims 2 and 3).
  • the one-piece protective cap is used for manual handling insofar as it is plugged onto the connecting cable before connecting the stripped conductor ends to the contact springs and then clipped non-positively on the holding plate;
  • the protective cap consisting of two half-shells
  • an automated manufacture of the device plug can be set up - after the wire ends have been stripped automatically, the connecting cable is automatically brought up to and contacted by the so-called stop machine via a so-called stop machine and then - equally automated - from the sides the half shells are brought in and clipped in.
  • the two half-shells can also be connected to one another via a film hinge (captive) (see claim 4).
  • a circumferential bead is provided on the holding plate, which is used for the rising peripheral edge of the protective cap Support edge is used (see claim 5).
  • the protective cap has at least one laterally projecting pin attachment via which the inelastic molded part with the clipped-on protective cap is automatically gripped and transported can be (see claim 6).
  • the concept according to the invention also has the advantage that when the insert unit, consisting of the inelastic molded part with the holding plate and the protective cap, is extrusion-coated, i.e. less material is required when producing the end product "device plug".
  • the material for the encapsulation of said assembly unit i.e. the soft-elastic plastic, more expensive than the hard-elastic or inelastic plastic from which the protective cap is made, and the space filled by the protective cap according to the invention no longer needs to be sprayed out.
  • a one-piece protective cap 1 in five views, one of which is designed as a sectional view - a one-piece protective cap 1 is shown. It consists of a hood-shaped plastic molded part 2, the cross-sectional contour of which corresponds to that of the inelastic molded part of the connector (see FIG. 3).
  • the protective cap 1 has on the one hand an open side 3 corresponding to the cross-sectional contour mentioned (see lower left illustration) and diametrically to this on the opposite side a through hole 4 for the supply line (see FIG. 3).
  • the protective cap 1 is placed or plugged onto the holding plate (FIG. 2) mounted in the inelastic molded part of the device connector (see FIG. 3) via the open side 3 mentioned.
  • recesses 5 are provided in the protective cap 1, which run out towards the open side 3, namely on the inner wall of the protective cap 1, via channel-like grooves 6.
  • the protective cap 1 has at least one laterally projecting pin attachment 7, via which the device plug can be automatically gripped and transported when the protective cap 1 is clipped on.
  • a holding plate 10 is shown in FIG. 2 in three views. It consists of a flat plastic plate 11 corresponding to the cross-sectional contour of the protective cap, one side of which has a circumferential shoulder 12, via which the holding plate 10 positively engages the inelastic one Molded part of the connector (see Fig. 3) is placed. On the second side of the holding plate 10, two transverse webs 13 are formed, which on the one hand serve as a separating web between the contact points or connection points of the supply line with the contact springs (cf. FIG. 3) and on the other hand, latching lugs 14 are formed on the side, which, when placed on one Clip the protective cap into its recesses.
  • the latch consisting of the complementary latching means latch / recess thus ensures a positive and non-positive connection between the protective cap and the holding plate 10 and thus the inelastic molded part of the connector.
  • the contour of the open side of the protective cap is correspondingly a linear support edge 15 integrally formed, on which the circumferential edge of the protective cap is ultimately supported in order to withstand the spray pressure mentioned.
  • FIG. 2 also shows the U-shaped recesses 16 provided in the plastic plate 11 for receiving the contact springs (see FIG. 3).
  • Fig. 3 in three, partially partially sectioned views - one consisting of an inelastic molded part 20, a form-fitting holding plate 10 and a clipped-on protective cap 1 existing assembly unit is shown as a base body for an electrical connector.
  • the protective cap is clipped onto the (edge 14 / recess 5) pairing on the supporting edge; it is attached axially from above (arrow X in Fig. 2).
  • contact springs 21 are inserted into the holding plate 10, on the one hand in to the outside Open spring chambers 22 of the inelastic molded part 20 protrude and, on the other hand, protrude on the second side of the holding plate 10 in order to be connected here to the stripped conductor connections of the supply line 23.
  • the supply line 23 is then led through the through hole 4 of the protective cap 1 to the outside and the assembly unit can be gripped and manipulated via the pin lugs 7 of the protective cap 1.
  • the contour of a molded connector 24, ie the assembly unit mentioned with the molded connector part 25, is dotted and cross-hatched.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 shows a left half-shell 30 - in five views - it being noted a priori that a mirror-like protective cap corresponding to the one-piece protective cap according to FIGS. 1 and 3 is formed from two mirror-image left and right half-shells .
  • the half-shell 30 according to FIG. 4 consists of a (plastic) molded part 31 which has approximately the shape of a half, ie symmetrically divided, hood.
  • the molded part 31 has, like the protective cap according to FIG. 1, rectangular recesses 32 which cooperate with complementary locking lugs of the holding plate (corresponding to FIG. 5) in such a way that a locking or clip connection is formed between the half-shells and the holding plate when the two half-shells are each attached laterally to the holding plate (see arrow Y in FIG. 5).
  • the half-shell 30 has a bevel 34 on each of the edges 33 oriented toward the axis of symmetry, via which the half-shell 30 can be pushed onto corresponding ramps of the holding plate.
  • a semicircular recess 35 on one end face of the molded part 31 serves, analogously to the through hole of the one-piece protective cap, as a passage opening the supply line (see Fig. 6).
  • the half-shell 30 shown in FIG. 4 has, analogously to the protective cap according to FIG. 1, also half pin projections 36, via which the device plug can be handled fully automatically.
  • FIG. 5 shows - in three views - a holding plate 40 which is designed corresponding to the half-shells 30 for a two-part protective cap.
  • This consists of a flat plastic plate 41 with a circumferential bead 42 for positive insertion into the inelastic molded part of a device connector (see FIG. 6).
  • the holding plate 40 also has two transverse dividers 43 which have oblique ramps 45 on the end faces 44 which are perpendicular to the holding plate 40, behind which the recesses 32 can clip in when the half-shells 30 are attached (see arrow Y).
  • the illustration according to FIG. 5 also shows the U-shaped recesses 46 provided in the plastic plate 41 for receiving the contact springs (cf. FIG. 6).
  • a linear support edge for the edges of the half-shells 30 standing on the holding plate 40 can also be formed in the embodiment according to FIG. 5.
  • FIG. 6 in three, partially sectioned views - a (in the side view) dotted outline and cross hatching completed device connector 50 is shown, in which the so-called connector part 53 is molded onto an inelastic molded part 51 with spring chambers 52 open to the outside.
  • the holding plate 40 according to FIG. 5 is plugged on and in turn a left and a right half-shell 30, 30 'are plugged on from both sides (corresponding to arrow Y in FIG. 5) to form a protective cap and clipped over the complementary locking means.
  • a further embodiment of the present invention provides for these two half-shells 30, 30' to be connected to one another via a film joint. In this way, it is always ensured during the assembly process that 30, 30 'belonging together in pairs are available or are available.
  • the film joint is formed in each case in the area of the mutually opposite systems of the semicircular recesses 35 of two conjugated half shells 30, 30 '.
