Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug for connecting to a socket.
  • a socket which a socket housing with a first longitudinal axis and with a receiving space enclosed by a wall has, which is open to an end face of the socket housing and on the distal end is closed by a floor.
  • the socket housing are assigned first contacts that are parallel to the receiving space from the floor protrude to the first longitudinal axis.
  • On the outside surface of the recording room surrounding wall is at least one detent projecting. This points in the direction away from the end face towards the bottom towards the outer face removing increasing ramp on which towards the Floor connects a locking surface to run on the outer surface.
  • EP 0 896 396 A2 describes a connector that has a socket and includes a plug.
  • the socket has a socket housing and a recording room enclosed by a wall. This is an end face of the socket housing open and at its distal end through closed a floor.
  • the socket has a first longitudinal axis that defines a connection direction.
  • the socket housing are the first contacts assigned. These are aligned parallel to the first longitudinal axis and are from Floor in front of the recording room.
  • On the outer surface of the one enclosing the recording room Wall is a protruding tab.
  • the connector has a connector housing with a first housing section and a second housing section.
  • the first housing section occurs when connecting with the socket in its receiving space.
  • the second housing section is arranged at a radial distance from the first housing section, so that between there is both a free space that receives the wall of the socket housing.
  • the second housing section of the plug is an elastically deflectable locking arm assigned, which can be locked via a slide when it is in the Latch position is, the slider a deflection of the locking arm from the relaxed position prevented.
  • Compression springs are assigned to the slide, which are not supported on the slide End are connected to each other via a traverse.
  • the locking arm has an inclined surface that when inserting the plug into the socket against the Latch is running.
  • the slide is in a position in which its locking surface is not in contact with the locking arm.
  • the locking arm is over holding means held in an interim position.
  • the plug is inserted into the socket inserted, then not only the locking arm with its hook-like projection arrives against the locking lug, but also the crossbar that connects the two compression springs connects, comes to rest against the end face of the socket. Will the With the plug inserted further, the springs are preloaded.
  • the hook-shaped locking element of the locking arm slides over the latch.
  • the latch arm has reached a position in which its locking surface engages behind the latch can.
  • the effect of the compression springs is also released, i.e. the holding means release the slide so that it due to the action of the springs is moved away from the locking lug, creating the locking surface of the slider passes over the locking arm and this in its engagement position against deflection guaranteed.
  • the holding means are also molded in the form of the slide Resting arms with hooks returned to their original position, so that the springs be relieved again. To release the slide must be opposite to The direction of release of the connector on the connector housing can be moved so that the Latch arm is released.
  • ribs on the socket housing which are arranged in the extension of the course of the compression springs, i.e. extend parallel to each other in the direction of connection and from the end face go out of the socket and reach up to the locking lug.
  • the slide is first moved towards the socket so far that the locking arm is released.
  • the compression springs are partially preloaded and the holding means fix the slide in this position. In this position can be acted on an unlocking section of the slide, i.e. be pressed on this, this section on an underlying Projection of the locking arm acts. Because the latch arm is suspended like a seesaw is, his hook-like projection is out of engagement with the latch on the Socket moves. If the connector is now pulled, it can be removed from the Socket be separated. Handling is cumbersome and requires in particular then, if safe operation is required, additional measures in Shape of the ribs on the socket to provide secure support for the compression springs, which act on the slide to reach.
  • Handling is unfavorable also insofar as the slide initially when the plug is detached from the socket must be moved against the release direction to the slide valve in a To transfer position in the operating section associated with this a force on the locking arm in the sense of releasing it from the latch of the Socket can be introduced. At the same time, the plug must be pulled to to release it from the socket.
  • DE 198 28 968 A1 relates to a connector with a socket and a Plug, the socket being assigned a leaf spring-like holding element, which also serves as a short-circuit bridge for the contacts of the socket.
  • the Holding element has two locking legs, each with a projection of the plug come into contact and experience a deformation when connecting, so that the Projections can drive over a kink in the locking leg and then one Allow it to rebound again so that the plug is secured in the socket.
  • two are in the unconnected state of the plug and socket there are contact legs that come into contact with the contacts of the socket, which are part of the holding element, which is made of metal and so that it is electrically conductive. So in the disconnected state is between the contacts A short-circuit contact is made via the contact legs. These are at Pushing the plug out of contact with the contacts of the socket.
  • DE 100 52 970 A1 is a connector that has a socket and a Includes connector described, wherein the plug is assigned a slide, the is designed in one piece with a compression spring and initially biased when connecting and a push-out force is generated as long as the final connection state has not been reached.

  • the invention has for its object a connector for a conventional socket, i.e. to propose one in which at least one locking lug is provided, which is easy to use and as long as no final connection is achieved was a force that releases the plug from the socket.
  • the advantage of this version is that the connector in connection with usual Sockets can be used that have at least one locking lug, so that without changing the same it is ensured that the plug of the The socket is disconnected as long as no final connection position has been reached has been. Furthermore, the handling is simplified in that only when connecting is acted on the connector housing by this relative to the socket housing, i.e. is moving towards the bottom. The release of the slide for the locking arm is finally secured automatically depending on the position of the connector housing to the socket housing by the holding element except Active intervention reaches the end face of the socket housing and thus the Force of the pressure springs acting between the connector housing and the slide is released. The slider is relative to the socket housing and Moved the connector housing so that the locking arm against displacement in the unlocked Position is secured.
  • This position can easily be canceled by that for releasing the plug from the socket on the slide in the release direction is acted upon. It is also of major advantage that the holding element a separate, i.e. component separated from the slide, which is made of one material is produced, which is subject to practically no wear or subsidence.
  • a favorable design provides that the holding element by a connecting section spaced projecting spring legs and these each angled have subsequent fastening section, each fastening section engages in a separate mounting hole of the slide and the mounting holes perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis and offset parallel to each other run.
