In der
Der Stecker weist ein Steckergehäuse mit einem ersten Gehäuseabschnitt und einem zweiten Gehäuseabschnitt auf. Der erste Gehäuseabschnitt tritt beim Verbinden mit der Steckbuchse in deren Aufnahmeraum ein. Der zweite Gehäuseabschnitt ist im radialen Abstand zum ersten Gehäuseabschnitt angeordnet, so daß zwischen beiden ein Freiraum besteht, der die Wand des Steckbuchsengehäuses aufnimmt. Dem zweiten Gehäuseabschnitt des Steckers ist ein elastisch auslenkbarer Riegelarm zugeordnet, der über einen Schieber verriegelt werden kann, wenn er sich in der Riegelposition befindet, wobei der Schieber eine Auslenkung des Riegelarms aus der entspannten Position verhindert.The plug has a plug housing with a first housing section and a second housing section. The first housing section enters when connecting to the socket in the receiving space. The second housing portion is arranged at a radial distance from the first housing portion, so that there is a free space between the two, which receives the wall of the socket housing. The second housing portion of the plug is associated with a resiliently deflectable locking arm which can be locked via a slider when it is in the locking position, wherein the slider prevents deflection of the locking arm from the relaxed position.
Dem Schieber sind Druckfedern zugeordnet, die an ihrem nicht am Schieber abgestützten Ende miteinander über eine Traverse verbunden sind. Der Riegelarm besitzt eine Schrägfläche, die beim Einführen des Steckers in die Steckbuchse gegen die Rastnase läuft. Dabei befindet der Schieber sich in einer Position, bei der seine Riegelfläche nicht in Kontakt zum Riegelarm steht. Dazu ist der Riegelarm über Haltemittel in einer einstweiligen Position gehalten. Wird der Stecker in die Steckbuchse eingeführt, dann gelangt nicht nur der Riegelarm mit seinem hakenartigen Vorsprung gegen die Rastnase, sondern auch die Traverse, die die beiden Druckfedern miteinander verbindet, kommt zur Anlage gegen die Stirnfläche der Steckbuchse. Wird der Stecker weiter eingeführt, werden die Federn vorgespannt. Das hakenförmige Verriegelungselement des Riegelarms gleitet über die Rastnase. Hierbei hat der Riegelarm eine Stellung erreicht, bei der seine Riegelfläche die Rastnase hintergreifen kann. Dabei werden auch die Druckfedern in ihrer Wirkung freigegeben, d.h. die Halternittel geben den Schieber frei, so daß dieser aufgrund der Wirkung der Federn weg von der Rastnase verschoben wird, wodurch die Riegelfläche des Schiebers über den Riegelarm gelangt und diesen in seiner Eingriffsposition gegen Auslenkung sichert. Dabei werden auch die Haltemittel in Form von dem Schieber angeformten Rastarmen mit Haken in ihre Ursprungsposition zurückgestellt, so daß auch die Federn wieder entlastet werden. Zum Lösen muß der Schieber entgegengesetzt zur Löserichtung des Steckers an dem Steckergehäuse verschoben werden, damit der Riegelarm freigegeben wird. Damit eine genügend große Kontaktfläche für die Abstützung der Druckfedern gegeben ist, sind an dem Steckbuchsengehäuse Rippen vorgesehen, die in Verlängerung des Verlaufs der Druckfedern angeordnet sind, d.h. sich parallel zueinander in Verbindungsrichtung erstrecken und von der Stirnfläche der Steckbuchse ausgehen und bis zu der Rastnase reichen.The slide are associated with compression springs, which are connected at their not supported on the slider end together via a crossbar. The locking arm has an inclined surface which runs when inserting the plug into the socket against the locking lug. The slider is in a position in which its locking surface is not in contact with the locking arm. For this purpose, the locking arm is held over retaining means in a temporary position. If the plug is inserted into the socket, then not only the locking arm with its hook-like projection against the locking lug, but also the traverse, which connects the two compression springs together, comes to rest against the end face of the socket. If the plug continues to be inserted, the springs are pretensioned. The hook-shaped locking element of the locking arm slides over the latching lug. Here, the locking arm has reached a position in which its locking surface can engage behind the locking lug. In this case, the springs are released in their effect, ie the holding means release the slider, so that this due to the action of the springs is moved away from the locking lug, whereby the locking surface of the slider passes over the locking arm and secures it in its engaged position against deflection. In this case, the holding means in the form of the slider integrally formed locking arms are reset with hooks in their original position, so that the springs are relieved again. To release the slider must be moved opposite to the release direction of the connector to the connector housing, so that the locking arm is released. So that a sufficiently large contact surface for the support of the compression springs is provided, ribs are provided on the socket housing, which are arranged in extension of the course of the compression springs, ie extend parallel to each other in the connecting direction and go out from the end face of the socket and reach up to the latch ,
Für das Lösen wird der Schieber zunächst soweit in Richtung zur Steckbuchse verschoben, daß der Riegelarm freigegeben wird. Dabei werden die Druckfedern teilweise vorgespannt und die Haltemittel setzen den Schieber in dieser Position fest. In dieser Position kann auf einen Entriegelungsabschnitt des Schiebers eingewirkt werden, d.h. auf diesen gedrückt werden, wobei dieser Abschnitt auf einen darunter liegenden Vorsprung des Riegelarms wirkt. Da der Riegelarm wippenartig aufgehängt ist, wird damit sein hakenartiger Vorsprung außer Eingriff zur Rastnase an der Steckbuchse bewegt. Wird nun an dem Stecker gezogen, kann dieser von der Steckbuchse getrennt werden. Die Handhabung ist umständlich und erfordert insbesondere dann, wenn ein sicherer Betrieb gefordert ist, zusätzliche Maßnahmen in Form der Rippen an der Steckbuchse, um eine sichere Abstützung für die Druckfedern, die den Schieber beaufschlagen, zu erreichen. Ungünstig ist die Handhabung auch insofern, als beim Lösen des Steckers von der Steckbuchse der Schieber zunächst entgegen der Löserichtung bewegt werden muß, um den Stellschieber in eine Stellung zu überführen, in der über den diesem zugehörigen Betätigungsabschnitt eine Kraft auf den Riegelarm im Sinne des Lösens desselben von der Rastnase der Steckbuchse einleitbar ist. Gleichzeitig muß dann am Stecker gezogen werden, um diesen aus der Steckbuchse zu lösen.For releasing the slider is first moved so far in the direction of the socket, that the locking arm is released. The compression springs are partially biased and the holding means set the slide in this position. In this position, an unlocking portion of the slider can be acted upon, i. pressed on this, this section acts on an underlying projection of the locking arm. Since the locking arm is suspended like a rocker, so its hook-like projection is moved out of engagement with the latch on the socket. If now pulled on the plug, it can be separated from the socket. The handling is cumbersome and requires, in particular, when safe operation is required, additional measures in the form of the ribs on the socket to achieve a secure support for the compression springs that act on the slide. Unfavorable handling is also so far as when loosening the plug from the socket of the slider must first be moved against the loosening direction to move the lock slider to a position in which this associated actuating portion a force on the locking arm in the sense of loosening the same of the latch of the socket can be introduced. At the same time must then be pulled on the plug to release it from the socket.

In der
Die
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen eingangs beschriebenen Stecker für eine übliche Steckbuchse, d.h. eine solche, bei der mindestens eine Rastnase vorgesehen ist, vorzuschlagen, der einfach handhabbar ist und solange keine endgültige Verbindung erzielt wurde, eine Kraft bewirkt, die den Stecker aus der Steckbuchse löst.The invention is based on the object, a connector described above for a conventional socket, i. such, in which at least one locking lug is provided to propose, which is easy to handle and as long as no final connection has been achieved, causes a force that releases the plug from the socket.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß das Steckergehäuse eine Lösefläche nahe dem dem Raststeg entfernten Ende des Riegelarmes aufweist, welche sich von dem Raststeg weg von der zweiten Längsachse entfernt, daß die mindestens eine Druckfeder einerseits am zweiten Gehäuseabschnitt des Steckergehäuses und andererseits am Schieber abgestützt ist und den Schieber zur Einnahme seiner Riegelstellung hin beaufschlagt, und daß der Stecker ein federndes Halteelement umfaßt, das aus einem stabförmigen Material aus Stahl geformt ist, das am Schieber festgelegt ist und mindestens zwei quer zur zweiten Längsachse ausfedernde Federschenkel besitzt, die an einem Ende verbunden sind und einen Abschnitt bilden, der dazu bestimmt ist, im entspannten Zustand der Federschenkel mit der Stirnfläche des Steckbuchsengehäuses in Kontakt zu treten und der durch Auflaufen auf die Lösefläche des Steckergehäuses außer Kontakt zur Stirnfläche bringbar ist, und die, ausgehend vom freien Ende der Federschenkel, zu einem Befestigungsabschnitt geformt sind.This object is achieved in that the connector housing has a release surface near the end remote from the detent web of the locking arm, which is away from the detent web away from the second longitudinal axis, that the at least one compression spring is supported on the one hand on the second housing portion of the plug housing and on the other hand on the slide and urging the slider to take its latching position, and in that the plug comprises a resilient support member formed from a steel rod-shaped material fixed to the slider and having at least two spring legs spring-loaded transversely to the second longitudinal axis connected at one end are and form a portion which is intended to come in the relaxed state of the spring leg with the end face of the female connector housing in contact and which can be brought by running on the release surface of the plug housing out of contact with the end face, and, starting from the free end de R spring legs are formed into a mounting portion.
Von Vorteil bei dieser Ausführung ist, daß der Stecker in Verbindung mit üblichen Steckbuchsen genutzt werden kann, welche mindestens eine Rastnase aufweisen, so daß ohne Änderung an denselben gewährleistet ist, daß der Stecker von der Steckbuchse getrennt wird, solange keine endgültige Verbindungsposition erreicht wurde. Ferner wird die Handhabung dadurch vereinfacht, daß beim Verbinden lediglich auf das Steckergehäuse eingewirkt wird, indem dieses relativ zum Steckbuchsengehäuse, d.h. auf dessen Boden zu bewegt wird. Die Freigabe des Schiebers zur endgültigen Sicherung des Riegelarms erfolgt automatisch abhängig von der Stellung des Steckergehäuses zum Steckbuchsengehäuse, indem das Halteelement außer Wirkeingriff zur Stirnfläche des Steckbuchsengehäuses gelangt und somit die Kraft der zwischen dem Steckergehäuse und dem Schieber wirksamen Druckfedern freigegeben wird. Der Schieber wird relativ zum Steckbuchsengehäuse und zum Steckergehäuse so verschoben, daß der Riegelarm gegen Verlagerung in die entriegelte Position gesichert ist. Diese Position kann einfach dadurch aufgehoben werden, daß für das Lösen des Steckers von der Steckbuchse auf den Schieber in Löserichtung eingewirkt wird. Ferner ist von wesentlichem Vorteil, daß das Halteelement ein separates, d.h. vom Schieber getrenntes Bauteil ist, das aus einem Werkstoff hergestellt ist, der praktisch keinem Verschleiß oder Setzungen unterworfen ist.An advantage of this design is that the plug can be used in conjunction with conventional sockets, which have at least one locking lug, so that is guaranteed without modification to the same that the plug is disconnected from the socket, as long as no final connection position is reached has been. Furthermore, the handling is simplified in that only acts on the connector housing when connecting, by this relative to the socket housing, that is moved to the bottom thereof. The release of the slide for the final securing of the locking arm is carried out automatically depending on the position of the plug housing to the socket housing by the holding element out of operative engagement with the end face of the socket housing and thus the force of effective between the plug housing and the slide springs is released. The slider is displaced relative to the receptacle housing and the connector housing so that the locking arm is secured against displacement into the unlocked position. This position can be reversed simply by acting on the slider in the release direction for the release of the plug from the socket. Furthermore, it is of significant advantage that the holding element is a separate, ie separated from the slide member, which is made of a material which is subjected to virtually no wear or settling.
Eine günstige Gestaltung sieht vor, daß das Halteelement von einem Verbindungsabschnitt beabstandet abstehende Federschenkel und diese jeweils einen abgewinkelt anschließenden Befestigungsabschnitt aufweisen, wobei jeder Befestigungsabschnitt in eine separate Aufnahmebohrung des Schiebers eingreift und die Aufnahmebohrungen rechtwinklig zur zweiten Längsachse und zueinander parallel versetzt verlaufen.A favorable design provides that the retaining element spaced from a connecting portion spring legs and these each have an angled adjoining mounting portion, each mounting portion engages in a separate receiving bore of the slider and the receiving holes perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis and mutually parallel offset.
Vorzugsweise ist dabei vorgesehen, daß die Federschenkel an den Verbindungsabschnitt mit einer Windung so anschließen, daß jeder Federschenkel den Verbindungsabschnitt querend verläßt. Günstige Montageverhältnisse werden dadurch erzeugt, daß die Federschenkel ausgehend vom Verbindungsabschnitt so verlaufen, daß die Befestigungsabschnitte zueinander parallel versetzt sind. Vorzugsweise besteht das Halteelement aus einem Runddraht. Günstigerweise ist es aus einem Edelstahl hergestellt.Preferably, it is provided that the spring legs connect to the connecting portion with a turn so that each spring leg leaves the connecting portion crossing. Favorable mounting conditions are generated in that the spring legs, starting from the connecting portion extend so that the mounting portions are offset from each other in parallel. Preferably, the retaining element consists of a round wire. Conveniently, it is made of a stainless steel.
Da das Halteelement aus Stahl im endgültig verriegelten Zustand des Steckers mit der Steckbuchse elastisch aus seiner Normalposition ausgelenkt ist, d.h., solange die Steckbuchse und der Stecker miteinander verbunden sind, gespannt ist, ist es günstig, wenn es aus einem Edelstahl hergestellt ist.Since the support member made of steel in the final locked state of the plug with the socket is elastically deflected from its normal position, ie, as long as the socket and the plug are connected together, is taut, it is convenient if it is made of a stainless steel.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Riegelarm rahmenartig gestaltet ist und das Halteelement zwischen den beiden Längsstreben des Riegelarms angeordnet ist, und daß die Raststrebe quer verläuft und die freien Enden der Längsstreben verbindet.In an embodiment of the invention it is provided that the locking arm is designed like a frame and the holding element between the two longitudinal struts of the locking arm is arranged, and that the locking strut extends transversely and connects the free ends of the longitudinal struts.
Um zu erreichen, daß der Riegelarm aktiv vom Eingriff zur Rastnase gelöst wird, ist vorgesehen, daß der Schieber mindestens einen Lösevorsprung aufweist, der im Sinne des Lösens der Raststrebe von der Rastnase auf den Riegelarm beim Lösen der Steckbuchse vom Stecker durch Verstellen des Schiebers einwirkt.In order to achieve that the locking arm is actively released from engagement with the latch, it is provided that the slide has at least one release projection which acts in the sense of releasing the locking strut of the locking lug on the locking arm when releasing the socket from the plug by adjusting the slide ,

In den
An den ersten Gehäuseabschnitt 16 schließt sich unter Bildung eines Freiraums 18 zur Aufnahme der Wand 4 im verbundenen Zustand der Steckbuchse 1 mit dem Stecker 13 ein zweiter Gehäuseabschnitt 19 an. Dieser ist der Endfläche entfernt, einstückig mit dem ersten Gehäuseabschnitt 16 ausgebildet. Der Querschnitt des ersten Gehäuseabschnittes 16 ist im wesentlichen dem des Aufnahmeraums des Steckbuchsengehäuses 2 der Steckbuchse 1 angepaßt, d. h. er nähert sich im Querschnitt einem abgerundeten Rechteck an. Im Verbindungsabschnitt 20 des ersten Gehäuseabschnitts 16 mit dem zweiten Gehäuseabschnitt 18 ist ein Riegelarm 22 angeformt, der rahmenartig gestaltet ist und zwei Längsstreben 24 umfaßt, die im parallelen Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind und mit einem am Ende an dem Verbindungsabschnitt 20, entfernt von der Endfläche 17, einstückig mit dem Steckergehäuse 14 ausgebildet sind. Die der Endfläche 17 nahen Enden der beiden Längsstreben 24 sind durch eine quer verlaufende Raststrebe 23 miteinander verbunden, welche als Rastmittel zur Verrastung mit der Rastnase 10 der Steckbuchse 1 dient. Sie sitzt mit der Riegelfläche 21 in Verbindungsrichtung (Einschubrichtung) des Steckers 13 in die Steckbuchse 1 hinter der Rastfläche 12.To the
Im Bereich des Endes der Längsstreben 24, das mit dem Verbindungsabschnitt 20 verbunden, ist zwischen und von den Längsstreben 24 nach unten versetzt eine Lösefläche 25 an einem Vorspruch angeordnet, die weg von der Endfläche 17 sich von der zweiten Längsachse 15 entfernen. Ferner sind in diesem Bereich seitlich zu den Längsstreben 24 des Riegelarms 22 zwei erste Federstützlager 26 angeordnet, die zur Abstützung der Druckfedern 27 an einem Ende dienen. Die Raststrebe 23 weist an ihrer Vorderkante eine Stellfläche 28 auf. In Führungen 29 des zweiten Gehäuseabschnitts 19 ist ein Schieber 30 entlang der zweiten Längsachse 15 in Grenzen verstellbar gehalten.In the region of the end of the
Die Gestaltung des Schiebers 30 ergibt sich insbesondere aus
Dem Schieber 30 sind zwei Lösevorsprünge 35 zugeordnet, die dazu dienen, beim Lösen des Steckers 13 aus der Steckbuchse 1 den Riegelarm 22 bei Bewegung des Schiebers 30 in Richtung zum Verbindungsabschnitt 19 freizugeben. Dabei wird zunächst der Riegelansatz 34 von der Raststrebe 23 wegbewegt und dann wird der Riegelarm 22 durch Anlaufen der Lösevorsprünge 35 gegen die Stellfläche 28 angehoben, so daß die Raststrebe 23 außer Eingriff zu den Rastnasen 11 gelangen und der Stecker 13 von der Steckbuchse 1 getrennt werden kann.The

Von einem Verbindungsabschnitt 37 stehen zwei Federschenkel 38 quer ab. Sie schließen an die Enden des Verbindungsabschnitts 37 mit einer Windung 40 an, so daß sie den Verbindungsabschnitt 37 querend verlassen. An die dem Verbindungsabschnitt 37 entfernten Enden jedes Federschenkels 38 schließt sich jeweils ein dazu abgewinkelter Befestigungsabschnitt 39 an. Die Befestigungsabschnitte 39 verlaufen parallel zum Verbindungsabschnitt 37 und aufeinander zu. Zueinander verlaufen sie parallel. Die Befestigungsabschnitte 39 werden in zueinander versetzten Bohrungen 41, 42 des Riegelansatzes 34 des Schiebers 30 aufgenommen. Hierdurch wird bei Einleitung einer Schwenkbewegung im Bereich der Windungen 40 bzw. des Verbindungsabschnitts 37 ein Gegenmoment erzeugt.From a connecting
