Definitions
- the invention relates to a plug adapter, in particular for Connection of lamps.
- Plug adapter especially for use with Euro plugs and for adaptation to the British system, for example known from EP 0 531 383.
- plug adapters is a housing with a housing base and a circumferential Housing wall provided, at least in the housing bottom two contact pins projecting outwards and at least one Guide pin are provided.
- the external contact pins are each inside via a contact section provided with a receiving contact, the receiving contacts are open upwards and the insertion of the plug contact pins by allowing them to come in from above the receptacle contacts are pushed (see e.g. Fig. 36).
- support surfaces must be provided within the housing be which the plug to be inserted in the end position holder (see e.g. Fig. 9a, 9b).
- the lid area be designed so that the connector used in the end position is held in its operating position and not in the event of a force being exerted on the connector Cable pivoted relative to the contact sections or is pulled out of these.
- the known plug adapters also have the disadvantage that It is essential to ensure that these are not in the Mating socket used, i.e. live, are there otherwise there is a risk that when inserting the euro plug the live contacts are touched.
- a further plug adapter is known from WO 02/35663 A1, which is used to accommodate a euro plug Provide space-saving connection to a standard socket to be able to.
- This adapter is therefore not an adapter between different connector systems, in particular, the connector to be used is opposite the adapter not fixable in that pulling the Plug is inadvertently prevented.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of a plug adapter to create the type mentioned, which to Example of using a euro plug with the UK Plug system enables, the plug after the first Insertion is fixed inside the connector adapter housing and is secured against unintentional pulling out.
- the plug adapter according to the invention preferably consists of a total of two plastic parts, namely the case bottom surrounding wall and a lid to be placed on it. Laterally either on the housing base and / or on the cover is a connector receiving section molded in terms of shape is adapted to the outer shape of the Euro plug.
- the plug adapter according to the invention can thus be delivered closed and can be easily connected Connect in the form of a euro plug that simply fits into the plug receptacle is to be used and then in contact with the housing Contact elements arrives.
- the plug adapter according to the invention has the advantage that the Plug to be used, preferably Euro plug, simply from the page can be inserted. This enables that the plug adapter itself already on the counter socket, so is electrically conductive, and then the one to be inserted Connector is used. In this way, the stand the disadvantage inherent in technology avoided that only when open Cover the plug can be used, which if necessary there is a risk of touching the contact elements.
- the plug adapter according to the invention has two on the housing side vertical grooves on, in the locking springs with a circular Shape are used that have a central opening have to carry out the plug contact pins, wherein the locking springs compared to those provided inside the housing Contact sections for the connector contact sections spaced are. This ensures that even at current-conducting contact sections close to the housing exterior locking springs are not live, because they are in vertical grooves formed by plastic sections are inserted. This ensures that after insertion the connector, the contact pins are locked by the spring elements are, the springs running toward the middle locking spring sections have, as is known per se, so are directed that insertion of the contact pins is easy can be done commonly while the locking springs retract prevent the contact pins.
- the invention Plug adapter on a housing base 1 with a circumferential Housing wall 2 is provided. Stand from the housing base 1 down two contact pins 4, 5, and a guide pin 6 made of plastic, which in a known manner compared to the Housing bottom 1 are provided or used in these. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the Contact pins 4, 5 and the guide pin 6 on the British Socket system turned off. The plug adapter continues to point a housing cover 7, the snap or snap lock can be locked relative to the housing wall 2 or using other fasteners opposite the housing wall 2 is attachable.
- the connector receptacle 8 can either on the housing wall 2 or be formed on the cover 7 or also half on the housing wall 2 and on the cover 7.
- each groove-shaped receptacle 11, 12 is provided, in each Recording 11, 12 made of plastic a locking element in the form of a Locking ring 13, 14 is used.
- Each locking ring 13, 14 has a central through hole that is slightly smaller is than the diameter of the connector pins 15, 16 of the Plug 9.
- the groove-shaped receptacles 11, 12 have the same height and, as shown in FIG. 1, are recessed in an arc shape at 16 and 17, to carry out the contact pins 15, 16 in the direction on metal contacts 18, 19 to allow the opposite the receptacles 11, 12 are provided spaced within the housing are.
- the through-openings are provided in the form of sleeves 21, 22 be used to open, made of metal Isolate contact pins 15, 16 of the plug 9.
- the contacts 18, 19 are preferably perpendicular upwards from the housing base 1 and are optionally in corresponding groove-shaped receiving sections on the housing base or are provided within the housing used.
- contact conductors are on one of the housing bottom 1 protruding block-shaped projection 26 arranged and lead to fuse receiving contacts, not shown, from the bottom of the case back 1 forth for the purpose of inserting a fuse are contactable.
- the contact pin 4 is in the illustrated embodiment preferably connected to conductor 24.
- the contact pin 5 is connected to the contact conductor 25.
- the contact 18 can be connected to the contact pin 4 via a wiring his.
- the invention thus creates a plug adapter that is simple Can be produced and in particular from only two Plastic parts, namely housing base 1 and cover 2 with molded Plug receiving section 8 and there is suitable for receiving a plug 9 in a simple manner, without opening and closing the lid for this purpose 2 is required.
- the plug adapter according to the invention can insert into the socket in the form shown in FIG. 4 and then the connector 9 can be in the receiving section insert and remain secured by the Locking springs 12, 13. Unintentional loosening of the plug 9 from the plug adapter is thus ensured.
