Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Stecker, insbesondere für ein Steuergerät, umfassend einen Steckereingang mit mindestens zwei Eingangsanschlüssen, einen Steckerausgang mit mindestens zwei Ausgangsanschlüssen und mindestens ein Verbindungsteil, über das die jeweils zusammengehörigen Anschlüsse - Eingangsanschluss und Ausgangsanschluss - miteinander verbunden sind.The invention relates to a plug, in particular for a control unit, comprising a plug input with at least two input terminals, a plug output with at least two output terminals and at least one connecting part, via which the respectively associated terminals - input terminal and output terminal - are connected to each other.
Bei vielen Steckeranwendungen z.B. im Kfz-Bereich erfordert der Markt eine große Steckervielfalt, d.h. Stecker, die sich bei einer gegebenen Belegung der Steckereingänge in der Belegung der Steckerausgänge unterscheiden. Als Beispiel sei hier der Regler der Lichtmaschine genannt, dessen Stecker je nach Fahrzeugtyp unterschiedliche Ausgangsbelegungen aufweisen kann. Die Vielzahl der Steckervarianten wird in der Praxis mit Hilfe von entsprechend konfigurierten Einlegeteilen realisiert, die als Verbindungsteile dienen. Die Geometrie dieser Verbindungsteile ist insbesondere dann sehr komplex, wenn dreidimensionale Anschlusskreuzungen realisiert werden müssen, um die gewünschte Belegung am Steckerausgang zur Verfügung zu stellen. Da praktisch jede Steckervariante mit einem individuell konfigurierten Verbindungsteil ausgestattet ist, unterscheiden sich in der Regel auch die Steckergehäuse, die an die Geometrie des jeweiligen Verbindungsteils angepasst werden. Dies führt insgesamt zu relativ hohen Herstellungskosten.For many plug applications, e.g. In the automotive sector, the market requires a great variety of connectors, i. Plugs that differ in the assignment of the plug outputs with a given assignment of the plug inputs. As an example, the governor of the alternator may be mentioned, whose connector may have different output assignments depending on the vehicle type. The variety of plug variants is realized in practice by means of correspondingly configured inserts that serve as connecting parts. The geometry of these connecting parts is very complex, especially when three-dimensional connection crossings have to be realized in order to provide the desired coverage at the plug output. Since practically every plug variant is equipped with an individually configured connecting part, the plug housings, which are adapted to the geometry of the respective connecting part, usually also differ. Overall, this leads to relatively high production costs.

Die
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein Stecker vorgeschlagen, bei dem ausschließlich deutlich einfachere Verbindungsteile eingesetzt werden, die außerdem auch für die Realisierung mehrerer Steckervarianten verwendet werden können, was sich insgesamt günstig auf die Herstellungskosten auswirkt.With the present invention, a plug is proposed in which only clearly simpler connection parts are used, which can also be used for the realization of several plug variants, which has a favorable overall effect on the manufacturing cost.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass der Steckereingang und der Steckerausgang entkoppelt sind, indem mindestens ein erstes Verbindungsteil vorgesehen ist, das ausschließlich Eingangsanschlüsse umfasst, und mindesten ein zweites Verbindungsteil, das ausschließlich Ausgangsanschlüsse umfasst. Die beiden Verbindungsteile sind so übereinander angeordnet, dass sich die jeweils zusammengehörigen Anschlüsse an mindestens einem Kreuzungspunkt überlagern, und dass die jeweils zusammengehörigen Anschlüsse durch Kontaktierung am Kreuzungspunkt miteinander verbunden sind.This is inventively achieved in that the plug input and the plug output are decoupled by at least one first connection part is provided, which comprises only input terminals, and at least a second connection part, which comprises only output terminals. The two connecting parts are arranged one above the other in such a way that the respectively associated connections are superimposed on at least one intersection point, and that the respectively associated connections are connected to one another by contacting at the intersection point.
Erfindungsgemäß ist erkannt worden, dass die Entkopplung von Steckereingang und Steckerausgang eine wesentliche Vereinfachung der Anschlussführung, d.h. der Geometrien der Eingangsanschlüsse und der Ausgangsanschlüsse, ermöglicht. Durch Verwendung zweier übereinander angeordneter Verbindungsteile - eines ersten Verbindungsteils ausschließlich für die Eingangsanschlüsse und eines zweiten Verbindungsteils ausschließlich für die Ausgangsanschlüsse - entfällt die aufwendige Realisierung von dreidimensionalen Kreuzungen. Diese kontaktlosen Leitungskreuzungen werden erfindungsgemäß in die Schnittstelle zwischen Steckereingang und Steckerausgang, nämlich zwischen die beiden Verbindungsteile, verlegt. Dadurch reduziert sich die Komplexität der Verbindungsteile selbst entscheidend, was sich positiv auf die Herstellungskosten auswirkt. Außerdem ist erfindungsgemäß erkannt worden, dass derartige Verbindungsteile bei geeigneter Geometrie der Anschlüsse ohne Anpassung oder Modifikation für die Realisierung von unterschiedlichen Steckervarianten verwendet werden können, was sich ebenfalls positiv auf die Herstellungskosten auswirkt.According to the invention, it has been recognized that the decoupling of plug input and plug output substantially simplifies the connection routing, i. the geometries of the input and output terminals. By using two superposed connection parts - a first connection part exclusively for the input terminals and a second connection part exclusively for the output terminals - eliminates the costly realization of three-dimensional intersections. These contactless line crossings according to the invention in the interface between the connector input and connector output, namely between the two connecting parts, laid. This significantly reduces the complexity of the connecting parts themselves, which has a positive effect on the manufacturing costs. In addition, it has been recognized according to the invention that such connecting parts can be used with suitable geometry of the connections without adaptation or modification for the realization of different plug variants, which also has a positive effect on the manufacturing cost.
Grundsätzlich gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten für die geometrische Ausgestaltung der Verbindungsteile bzw. der Eingangsanschlüsse und der Ausgangsanschlüsse.Basically, there are various possibilities for the geometric design of the connecting parts or the input terminals and the output terminals.
In einer vorteilhaften Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Steckers weist das erste Verbindungsteil für jeden der Eingangsanschlüsse eine eigene Anschlussleiste auf, die mindestens so viele Anschlussstellen umfasst, wie mögliche zugehörige Ausgangsanschlüsse vorhanden sind. In diesem Fall ist jeder Ausgangsanschluss über eine Anschlussstelle auf der entsprechenden Anschlussleiste mit dem zugehörigen Eingangsanschluss verbunden. Die Codierung des Steckers gestaltet sich hier besonders einfach, da die Ausgangsanschlüsse einfach wahlweise einem der Eingangsanschlüsse zugeordnet und mit diesem verbunden werden können. Dazu muss jeder Ausgangsanschluss auf dem zweiten Verbindungsteil lediglich bis zur entsprechenden Anschlussstelle auf der Anschlussleiste des zugehörigen Eingangsanschlusses geführt sein.In an advantageous variant of the plug according to the invention, the first connecting part for each of the input terminals on its own terminal block, which includes at least as many connection points, as possible associated output terminals are present. In this case, each output terminal is connected to the corresponding terminal block via a connection point Input terminal connected. The coding of the connector is particularly simple here, since the output terminals can be easily assigned to either one of the input terminals and connected to this. For this purpose, each output terminal on the second connecting part must be guided only to the appropriate connection point on the terminal block of the associated input terminal.
Alternativ zu der voranstehend beschriebenen Variante eines erfindungsgemäßen Steckers kann auch das zweite Verbindungsteil für jeden der Ausgangsanschlüsse eine eigene Anschlussleiste aufweisen, die mindestens so viele Anschlussstellen umfasst, wie mögliche zugehörige Eingangsanschlüsse vorhanden sind. In diesem Fall ist jeder Eingangsanschluss mit dem zugehörigen Ausgangsanschluss über eine Anschlussstelle auf der entsprechenden Anschlussleiste verbunden. Zur Codierung des Steckers muss dann jeder Eingangsanschluss auf dem ersten Verbindungsteil lediglich bis zur entsprechenden Anschlussstelle auf der Anschlussleiste des zugehörigen Ausgangsanschlusses geführt sein.As an alternative to the variant of a plug according to the invention described above, the second connecting part for each of the output terminals may also have its own terminal strip, which comprises at least as many connection points as possible associated input terminals are present. In this case, each input terminal is connected to the associated output terminal via a connection point on the corresponding terminal block. To encode the plug then each input terminal must be performed on the first connector only to the appropriate junction on the terminal block of the associated output terminal.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn sowohl das erste als auch das zweite Verbindungsteil für jeden seiner Anschlüsse eine eigene Anschlussleiste aufweist, die mindestens so viele Anschlussstellen umfasst, wie mögliche zugehörige Anschlüsse vorhanden sind. Der Stecker lässt sich in diesem Fall besonders einfach codieren, wenn die Anschlussstellen der beiden Verbindungsteile in aufeinander abgestimmten Anschlussstellen-Rastern angeordnet sind, d.h. in Rastern mit gleichem Rastermaß. In diesem Zusammenhang erweist es sich als besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die beiden Verbindungsteile so übereinander angeordnet sind, dass deren Anschlussstellen-Raster übereinander aber so gegeneinander verdreht angeordnet sind, dass jede mögliche Verbindung eines Eingangsanschlusses mit einem Ausgangsanschluss durch einfaches Verbinden zweier übereinander angeordneter Anschlussstellen realisierbar ist.It is particularly advantageous if both the first and the second connecting part for each of its connections has its own terminal block which comprises at least as many connection points as possible associated connections are present. In this case, the plug can be coded particularly easily if the connection points of the two connecting parts are arranged in mutually coordinated connection point grids, ie. in grids with the same pitch. In this context, it proves to be particularly advantageous if the two connecting parts are arranged one above the other so that their intersection grid over each other but are rotated against each other so that any connection of an input terminal to an output terminal by simply connecting two superposed connection points can be realized ,
Aufgrund ihrer einfachen Geometrien können die Verbindungsteile des erfindungsgemäßen Steckers in vorteilhafter Weise als Blech-Stanzteile, insbesondere in Form von Stanzgittern, realisiert werden. In diesem Fall müssen die beiden Verbindungsteile durch Einbringen eines geeigneten Isolatormaterials gegeneinander elektrisch isoliert werden. Die Verbindungsteile können aber auch in Form eines elektrisch isolierenden Trägers realisiert werden, auf den Leiterbahnen aufgebracht sind. Für die Kontaktierung zweier Anschlüsse bzw. Anschlussstellen eignen sich Lot-, Schweiß-, Klebe-, Thermokompressions- oder auch Klemmverbindungen.Due to their simple geometries, the connecting parts of the connector according to the invention can be realized in an advantageous manner as sheet-metal stamped parts, in particular in the form of stamped gratings. In this case, the two connecting parts by introducing a suitable insulator material against each other be electrically isolated. However, the connection parts can also be realized in the form of an electrically insulating support, are applied to the conductor tracks. For contacting two terminals or connection points are solder, welding, adhesive, thermocompression or clamping connections.
