Definitions
- the invention relates to an electromagnetic relay, in particular a start relay for internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1, and an adapter according to claim 8.
- starter relays for internal combustion engines as so-called engagement relays have, in addition to their function of switching the main current of the starter motor, also the additional function of a starter pinion before or with the
- Start relay screw connections and flat plug connections in different versions as well as standardized VDA or Jetronik plugs are required. These connections are located on the top of the cover to the left or right of the main connections of the start relay. In addition, different cover designs of the starter relay are required for the respective supply of the connecting cable to this connecting terminal from above or from below.
- connection terminal for the excitation winding is designed as a plug connection for a start switch, for example the ignition lock of a motor vehicle.
- the aim of the present solution is to limit the number of different starter relay switch covers to a minimum, in order to reduce production and sales costs.
- the electromagnetic relay according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that a switch cover with a uniform embodiment of the connecting terminal of the excitation winding can be realized by using an adapter.
- the number of variants of switch covers can be reduced to a few basic types depending on the size and connection side on the left or right.
- the plug connection for the adapter on the switch cover can be made simpler in terms of production technology and can be produced more cost-effectively with correspondingly larger quantities.
- the customer-specific, in particular vehicle-specific connection geometry of the connection terminal (terminal 50) can be inexpensively adapted to the requirements when assembling the adapter by using the same and / or standardized components such as screws, washers, nuts, contact pins and tongues. 1
- Switching contact removable is conveniently attached by detachable locking connections.
- the adapter advantageously has clips on its free outside axially reaching over the edge of the switch cover, which interact with latching lugs of the switch cover arranged there. Furthermore, the adapter is secured against shaking stresses by attaching it to the switch cover in the area of the two connections of the Switching contact is positioned by two spaced apart, axially aligned, dovetail-shaped undercuts.
- the adapter In order to protect the plug-in connection between the starting relay and the adapter against moisture, dust and contamination, it is also proposed that the adapter have a radially circumferential sealing edge on its inside, which acts as a joint with a flat contact surface of the switch cover.
- the plug-in connection of the starter relay with the adapter is a connector standardized in motor vehicle construction, the part of which on the adapter side is designed as a plug-in sleeve and the part of the relay which is connected to the field winding is designed as a tongue.
- the socket is formed on a busbar of the adapter, which is connected to the output terminal of the adapter.
- a plug pin and a socket can also be used.
- the adapter is designed with its output-side connection terminal as a plug, screw or clamp connection.
- the connection terminal on the output side is advantageously a threaded screw which, together with the busbar forming the second part of the plug connection for the field winding, is screwed to the insulating body of the adapter.
- the connection terminal on the output side is a plug-in sleeve, which is formed in one piece with the input-side part of the plug connection to the excitation winding as a busbar and is fixed in a preferably axially aligned connection dome molded onto the insulating body of the adapter.
- FIG. 1 shows an engagement relay in spatial representation with a plug connection for the field winding
- FIG. 2 shows the exploded view of an adapter with screw connection for the relay according to FIG. 1
- FIG. 3 shows the assembled adapter in spatial representation as the first exemplary embodiment
- FIGS. 4 and 4a show the adapter according to FIG 3 in a view from below and in an outbreak along the line XX in FIG. 4,
- FIGS. 5 and 5a the switch cover of the engagement relay according to FIG. 1 with an adapter according to FIG. 3
- FIG. 6 an adapter with a plug connection for the relay according to FIG Representation as a second exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 7 the busbar of the adapter according to FIG. 6 with the input-side and output-side plug connection.
- Starting relay shown for starting systems of internal combustion engines and designated 10.
- a switch contact (not shown) is arranged in a switch cover 11 of the start relay 10, the connections of which are fastened in the switch cover 11 as connecting bolts 12 and 13. They serve on the one hand to connect a starter motor and on the other hand to connect a connecting cable of a vehicle battery.
- an excitation coil is inserted, one end of which is connected to the motor Connection bolt 12 is connected and the other end of which is connected to a plug-in connector 15, which is arranged laterally next to the two connection bolts 12, 13 on the top of the switch cover 11.
- the excitation winding is switched on by a start switch, also not shown, for starting the internal combustion engine, and an armature is thus drawn into the excitation winding.
- the armature closes the switching contact of the starter relay on the one hand and on the other hand pulls in a plunger 16 which engages a starter pinion of the starter into a ring gear of the internal combustion engine via an engagement lever (not shown).
- FIGS. 2 to 4 show an adapter 17 before and after the assembly of its individual parts, which according to FIG. 5 is placed on the top of the switch cover 11 in order to connect and connect the vehicle-specific or manufacturer-specific connections to the unified plug connection of the field winding of the
- the tongue 15 forms a first part of a connector and a socket 18 a cooperating with the tongue 15 second part of the connector.
- This plug-in sleeve 18 immediately forms the input of the adapter 17, the output of which is designed as a connecting terminal 50 with a customer-specific, in particular vehicle-specific, connection geometry.
- the adapter 17 consists of an insulating body 19 made of plastic, a busbar 20 with the plug-in sleeve 18 stamped and embossed thereon, a threaded screw 21, a spring washer 22 and a hexagon nut 23 Provide adapter 17 with clips 24 which, according to FIG.
- the adapter 17 is removably attached to the top of the switch cover 11 next to the two connection bolts 12, 13. Furthermore, the insulating body 19 of the adapter 17 is provided with two spaced-apart, axially aligned strips 27 which engage in correspondingly axially aligned, dovetail-shaped undercuts 28 in the region of the connecting bolts 12, 13 of the switch cover 11 and thus position the adapter 17 on the switch cover 11. It can be seen from FIG. 4a that the insulating body 19 of the adapter 17 has a radially circumferential sealing edge 29 on its inside. This sealing edge forms a joint with a flat contact surface 30 of the switch cover 11 in the area of the tongue 15 according to FIG. 1.
- Busbar 20 of the adapter 17 forms.
- the output-side connection terminal 50 of the adapter 17 is designed here with a customer-specific or vehicle-specific connection geometry through the free end 21a of the hexagon screw 21 as a screw connection.
- Hexagon screw 21 is received together with the busbar 20 in a trough 31 of the insulating body 19.
- FIG. 6 shows a further adapter 17a, the output-side connection terminal of which is designed as a plug connection in the form of a tongue 34.
- This tongue 34 there forms the upper part of a busbar 20a shown in FIG. 7, the central part 35 of which is firmly clamped in the insulating body 19a and the lower part of which forms the plug-in sleeve 18 as part of the adapter 17a on the input side.
- the tongue 34 is fixed in an axially aligned connection dome 36 formed on the insulating body 19a, which is part of a VDA plug connection standardized by the Association of German Automobile Manufacturers.
- the output-side connection terminal 50 for the field winding of the start relay 10 can thus be implemented by the corresponding customer or vehicle-specific connection geometry both as a VDA plug connection according to FIG. 6 as a screw connection according to FIG. 3 or as a different clamp connection.
- the connection dome 36 can also be designed as a standardized jetronic connector version.
- the tight fit of the adapter can also be achieved by other methods, such as, for example, ultrasonic welding of polyamides.
