- the interference fit between the recess 25 in the plastic part 18 and the bearing pin 5 is chosen so that the locking bracket 4 on the one hand by hand - without much effort - can be pivoted, on the other hand, however, remains without a voluntary operation in its respective position. An unwanted pivoting or "collapse" of the locking bracket 4 can be prevented.
- the fixation of the plastic parts 18 in their position relative to the locking legs 11, 12 takes place except on the bearing pin 5 in particular by the fact that the locking bracket 4 two each laterally to a locking leg 11, 12 spaced bracket members 26 are formed.
- the first leg 27 of the U-shaped bracket member 26 is connected via a connecting web 28 with the free end of the locking arm 16, wherein the bracket member 26 is bent by about 180 °, that the first leg 27 parallel to the locking arm 16 and the second leg 29th of the bracket element 26 is arranged parallel to the bearing arm 14.
- the bracket element 26 is arranged so spaced from the locking leg 11, 12, that the plastic part 18 is held in the space between the bracket member 26 and the locking leg 11, 12.
- bracket members 26 on the locking bracket 4 thus initially serves the exception and support the two plastic parts 18.
- bracket elements 26 also act as overstretch protection for the two locking legs 11, 12.
- the second leg 29 of the bracket member 26 has a recess for a Bearing 5 provided, which is designed as a slot 30.
- the locking bracket 4 If the locking bracket 4 is pivoted from the open to the closed position, it comes when sliding the locking arm 16 on the locking projection 7 to a slight widening of the locking leg 11, 12.
- the locking arm 16 is in the in Fig. 2 shown arrangement of the locking bracket 4 deflected slightly upwards. Since the first leg 27 of the bracket member 26 is connected via the connecting portion 28 with the locking arm 16, and the first leg 27 is moved upward, wherein the bracket member 26 moves due to the formed in the second leg 29 elongated hole 30 in total upwards. Since the bracket member 26 is rigid, the movement of the first leg 27 is limited upwards by the dimension of the elongated hole 30. If it comes to the stop of the lower edge of the slot 30 at the bottom of the journal 5, so further movement of the bracket member 26 is blocked upwards. At the same time thereby further expansion of the locking leg 11 is prevented.
- the portion 19 of the plastic part 18 is dimensioned so that it covers both the end surface 20 of the locking arm 16 and the corresponding surface 32 of the first leg 27 of the bracket member 26.
- the portion 19 thus has a width which corresponds approximately to the sum of the width of the locking arm 16, the width of the first leg 27 and the distance between the locking arm 16 and the first leg 27.
- a bead-like projection 33 is formed on the portion 19 of the plastic part 18, which engages in a corresponding recess 34 in the Verriegelungsann 16 and a recess 35 in the first leg 27 of the bracket member 26, so that the two plastic parts 18 at least in the region of their sections 19 positively are connected to the locking legs 11 and 12 and the bracket elements 26.
- an actuating opening 36 for an actuating tool in particular the tip of a screwdriver is formed .
- the tip of a screwdriver in the actuation opening 36 can also by the thus extended lever arm a greater force to open or close a locking bracket 4 are applied.
- the locking bracket 4 may be formed as a stamped and bent part, namely simply punched out of a metal part, in particular of a spring steel and then bent. From the Fig. 6 In addition, it can be seen that the locking bracket 4 is formed integrally in one piece, in particular, the bracket members 26 are each integrally connected via a connecting web 28, each with a locking arm 16 of a locking leg 11, 12.

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Steckverbinder mit einem ersten Gehäuseteil, mit einem zweiten Gehäuseteil und mit mindestens einem, an einem der beiden Gehäuseteile schwenkbar gelagerten Verriegelungsbügel aus Metall, wobei am ersten Gehäuseteil zwei Lagerzapfen und am zweiten Gehäuseteil zwei Verriegelungsvorsprünge ausgebildet sind, der Verriegelungsbügel zwei Verriegelungsschenkel und ein die Verriegelungsschenkel miteinander verbindendes Griffstück aufweist und die Verriegelungsschenkel jeweils einen Lagerarm mit einer Ausnehmung für einen Lagerzapfen und einen Verriegelungsarm zum Übergreifen eines Verriegelungsvorsprungs aufweisen. Daneben betrifft die Erfindung auch einen Verriegelungsbügel zur Verriegelung zweier Gehäuseteile, insbesondere zweier Gehäuseteile eines elektrischen Steckverbinders, mit zwei Verriegelungsschenkeln und einem die Verriegelungsschenkel miteinander verbindenden Griffstück.The invention relates to an electrical connector having a first housing part, with a second housing part and at least one, pivotally mounted on one of the two housing parts locking bracket made of metal, wherein two bearing pins and the second housing part two locking projections are formed on the first housing part, the locking bracket two locking legs and a handle connecting the locking legs together and the locking legs each having a bearing arm with a recess for a journal and a locking arm for engaging a locking projection. In addition, the invention also relates to a locking bracket for locking two housing parts, in particular two housing parts of an electrical connector, with two locking legs and a locking leg connecting the handle together.
Derartige elektrische Steckverbinder werden insbesondere im industriellen Bereich seit vielen Jahren eingesetzt und daher häufig auch als Industriesteckverbinder bezeichnet. Die Steckverbinder weisen dabei in der Regel einen Gehäusesockel bzw. ein Anbaugehäuse als erstes Gehäuseteil und einen Gehäusedeckel bzw. ein Tüllengehäuse als zweites Gehäuseteil auf. Innerhalb der beiden Gehäuseteile sind in der Regel mehrere zu einer Klemmenleiste miteinander verbundene Klemmen zum Anschluß der einzelnen Adern eines elektrischen Kabels angeordnet, wobei die Klemmenleisten Steck- bzw. Buchsenkontakte aufweisen, so dass beim Aufstecken des Gehäuseoberteils auf das Gehäuseunterteil die Klemmen des Gehäuseoberteils mit den korrespondierenden Klemmen des Gehäuseunterteils elektrisch leitend verbunden werden.Such electrical connectors are used in particular in the industrial sector for many years and therefore often referred to as industrial connectors. The connectors generally have a housing base or an attachment housing as the first housing part and a housing cover or a sleeve housing as the second housing part. Within the two housing parts a plurality of terminals connected to a terminal block are generally arranged for connection of the individual wires of an electric cable, the terminal strips have plug or socket contacts, so that when attaching the upper housing part on the lower housing part, the terminals of the upper housing part with corresponding terminals of the housing base are electrically connected.
Da derartige Industriesteckverbinder häufig unter härtesten Bedingungen eingesetzt werden, müssen die Steckverbinder hohen Dichtigkeitsanforderungen genügen, wozu die beiden Gehäuseteile auch bei starken Vibrationen und hoher mechanischer Belastung sicher miteinander verriegelt sein müssen. Hierzu ist mindestens ein (häufig zwei) Verriegelungsbügel vorgesehen, der an einem der beiden Gehäuseteile schwenkbar gelagert ist und in der verriegelten Position zwei an dem anderen Gehäuseteil angeordnete Verriegelungsvorsprünge bzw. Verriegelungszapfen übergreift, wodurch die beiden Gehäuseteile miteinander zusammengehalten werden.Since such industrial connectors are often used under the toughest conditions, the connector must meet high sealing requirements, including the two housing parts must be securely locked together even with strong vibration and high mechanical stress. For this purpose, at least one (often two) locking bracket is provided, which is pivotally mounted on one of the two housing parts and in the locked position two arranged on the other housing part locking projections or locking pin engages, whereby the two housing parts are held together.
Ein eingangs beschriebener elektrischer Steckverbinder ist beispielsweise aus der
Ein ähnlicher Steckverbinder ist auch aus der
Bestehen die Verriegelungsvorsprünge aus Kunststoff oder aus einem relativ weichen Material, beispielsweise aus Aluminium, so kommt es beim Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels in die geschlossene Position zu einer O-berflächenabnutzung am Verriegelungsvorsprung, was letztendlich dazu führen kann, dass die Verriegelungsvorsprünge abgetrennt werden. Selbst wenn die Verriegelungsvorsprünge aus einem härteren Metall bestehen, so kommt es beim Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels in die geschlossenen Position zu einer Reibung zwischen zwei Metallteilen, nämlich zwischen dem Verriegelungsvorsprung und dem Verriegelungsarm, wodurch die Oberfläche der beiden Metallteile in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wird, so dass es schneller zu einer Korrosionsbildung kommen kann.Existence of the locking projections of plastic or of a relatively soft material, such as aluminum, so it comes when pivoting the locking bracket in the closed position to a O-berber wear on the locking projection, which can ultimately lead to the locking projections are separated. Even if the locking protrusions are made of a harder metal, as the locking bracket is pivoted to the closed position, there is friction between two metal parts, namely, between the locking protrusion and the locking arm, which affects the surface of the two metal parts, so that it can lead to corrosion more quickly.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen eingangs beschriebenen elektrischen Steckverbinder bzw. einen Verriegelungsbügel für zwei Gehäuseteile, insbesondere für zwei Gehäuseteile eines elektrischen Steckverbinders zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem die vorgenannten Nachteile vermieden sind. Gleichzeitig soll sichergestellt werden, dass mittels des Verriegelungsbügels eine sichere und dauerhafte Verriegelung der beiden Gehäuseteile gewährleistet ist.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an electrical connector or a locking bracket described above for two housing parts, in particular for two housing parts of an electrical connector, in which the aforementioned disadvantages are avoided. At the same time it should be ensured that a secure and permanent locking of the two housing parts is ensured by means of the locking bracket.
Diese Aufgabe ist bei dem eingangs beschriebenen elektrischen Steckverbinder dadurch gelöst, dass zwei Kunststoffteile vorgesehen und derart an den beiden Verriegelungsbügel angeordnet sind, dass jeweils ein Abschnitt eines Kunststoffteils zumindest die freie Endfläche eines Verriegslungsarms, die beim Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels in die geschlossene Position über den Verriegelungsvorsprung reibt, abdeckt. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung der Kunststoffteile wird somit verhindert, dass die metallischen Verriegelungsbügel beim Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels in die geschlossene Position über die Verriegelungsvorsprünge reiben, da zwischen der dem jeweiligen Verriegelungsvorsprung zugeordneten freien Endfläche eines Verriegelungsarms und dem zugeordneten Verriegelungsvorsprung ein Abschnitt eines Kunststoffteils angeordnet ist, welcher somit beim Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels in die geschlossene Position über den Verriegelungsvorsprung gleitet.This object is achieved in the electrical connector described above in that two plastic parts are provided and arranged on the two locking bracket, that in each case a portion of a plastic part at least the free end surface of Verriegslungsarms, which upon pivoting of the locking bracket in the closed position on the locking projection rubs, covers. The inventive arrangement of the plastic parts is thus prevented that the metallic locking bracket rub when pivoting the locking bracket in the closed position on the locking projections, as disposed between the respective locking projection associated free end surface of a locking arm and the associated locking projection, a portion of a plastic part, which thus slides upon pivoting of the locking bracket in the closed position on the locking projection.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung übergreift eine am Verriegelungsarm ausgebildete Mulde in der vollständig geschlossenen Position des Verriegelungsbügels den Verriegelungsvorsprung, so dass zum einen der Verriegelungsbügel in der geschlossenen Position verrastet, zum anderen die Kraft zum Verriegeln der beiden Gehäuseteil von dem aus Metall bestehenden Verriegelungsbügel, insbesondere den Verriegelungsschenkeln aufgenommen wird. Dabei ist der Abschnitt des Kunststoffteils so dimensioniert, dass er die Mulde im Verriegelungsarm nicht abdeckt. Beim Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels in die geschlossene Position bildet der Abschnitt des Kunststoffteils somit ein Gleitlager mit dem am zweiten Gehäuseteil ausgebildeten Verriegelungsvorsprung, während in der vollständig geschlossenen Position des Verriegelungsbügels der Verrieglungsarm mit seiner Mulde den Verriegelungsvorsprung übergreift.According to an advantageous embodiment, a recess formed on the locking arm in the fully closed position of the locking clip engages over the locking projection, so that locked on the one hand, the locking bracket in the closed position, on the other hand, the force for locking the two housing part of the existing metal locking bracket, in particular the Locking legs is added. In this case, the portion of the plastic part is dimensioned so that it does not cover the trough in the locking arm. When pivoting the locking bracket in the closed position forms the portion of the plastic part Thus, a sliding bearing with the locking member formed on the second housing part, while in the fully closed position of the locking bracket of the locking arm engages with its recess the locking projection.
Grundsätzlich gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten, wie ein Kunststoffteil an einem Verriegelungsarm befestigt werden kann. Beispielsweise könnte das Kunststoffteil mit dem Ende des Verriegelungsarms verklebt oder der Verriegelungsarm in dem entsprechenden Bereich von dem Kunststoffteil umspritzt sein. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die beiden den beiden Verriegelungsschenkeln zugeordneten Kunststoffteile jedoch jeweils als separate Kunststoffspritzteile ausgebildet. Die Befestigung der beiden Kunststoffteile an den beiden Verriegelungsschenkeln erfolgt dabei gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung dadurch, dass an beiden Verriegelungsschenkeln jeweils seitlich beabstandet zum Verriegelungsarm ein weiterer Arm angeordnet ist, der über einen Verbindungssteg derart mit dem freien Ende des Verriegelungsarms verbunden ist, dass das Kunststoffteil mit einem Befestigungsbereich zwischen dem Verriegelungsarm und dem weiteren Arm angeordnet ist. Das Kunststoffteil kann dabei mit seinem Befestigungsbereich zwischen dem Verriegelungsarm und dem seitlich beabstandet dazu angeordneten weiteren Arm eingeklemmt werden.In principle, there are various ways in which a plastic part can be attached to a locking arm. For example, the plastic part could be glued to the end of the locking arm or the locking arm in the corresponding area of the plastic part to be encapsulated. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, the two plastic parts associated with the two locking legs are each designed as separate plastic injection-molded parts. The attachment of the two plastic parts to the two locking legs is carried out according to an embodiment of the invention in that at two locking legs each laterally spaced from the locking arm another arm is arranged, which is connected via a connecting web so with the free end of the locking arm that the plastic part is arranged with a fastening area between the locking arm and the further arm. The plastic part can be clamped with its attachment region between the locking arm and the laterally spaced thereto arranged further arm.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die beiden Kunststoffteile, die jeweils einem Verriegelungsschenkel zugeordnet sind, derart ausgebildet, dass sie jeweils zwei Schenkel und einen die Schenkel verbindenden Rücken aufweisen, wobei am ersten Schenkel der die freie Endfläche des Verriegelungsarms abdeckende Abschnitt und im zweiten Schenkel korrespondierend zur Ausnehmung im Lagerarm eine Ausnehmung für einen Lagerzapfen ausgebildet ist. Eine derartige Ausbildung des Kunststoffteils hat zunächst den Vorteil, dass das Kunststoffteil im montierten Zustand zusätzlich dadurch in seiner Position gehalten wird, dass sich der am ersten Gehäuseteil ausgebildete Lagerzapfen nicht nur durch die Ausnehmung im Lagerarm des Verriegelungsschenkels sondern auch durch die korrespondierende Ausnehmung im zweiten Schenkel des Kunststoffteils erstreckt. Beim Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels aus der geöffneten Position in die geschlossene Position wird somit auch das Kunststoffteil um den Lagerzapfen geschwenkt.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the two plastic parts, which are each associated with a locking leg, formed such that they each have two legs and a leg connecting the back, wherein the first leg of the free end surface of the locking arm covering portion and in the second leg corresponding to the recess in the bearing arm is formed a recess for a bearing journal. Such a design of the plastic part has the advantage that the plastic part is additionally held in its position by the fact that the bearing pin formed on the first housing part not only by the recess in the bearing arm of the locking leg but also by the corresponding recess in the second leg of the plastic part extends. When pivoting the locking bracket from the open position to the closed position thus the plastic part is pivoted about the bearing pin.
Ein derartig ausgebildetes Kunststoffteil kann außerdem zusätzlich dafür verwendet werden, ein ungewolltes, selbständiges Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels zu verhindern. Hierzu ist zwischen der Ausnehmung im zweiten Schenkel des Kunststoffteils und dem Lagerzapfen am ersten Gehäuseteil eine Preßpassung ausgebildet, die dafür sorgt, dass der Verriegelungsbügel nur durch Aufbringung einer bestimmten Kraft verschwenkt werden kann. Die Preßpassung zwischen der Ausnehmung im zweiten Schenkel des Kunststoffteils und dem Lagerzapfen kann dabei so gewählt werden, dass der Verriegelungsbügel einerseits von Hand - ohne großen Kraftaufwand - verschwenkt werden kann, andererseits jedoch ohne eine gewollte Betätigung in seiner jeweiligen Position verbleibt.Such a trained plastic part can also be used in addition to prevent unwanted, independent pivoting of the locking bracket. For this purpose, a press fit is formed between the recess in the second leg of the plastic part and the bearing pin on the first housing part, which ensures that the locking bracket can be pivoted only by applying a certain force. The interference fit between the recess in the second leg of the plastic part and the bearing pin can be chosen so that the locking bracket on the one hand - without much effort - can be pivoted on the other hand, however, remains without a voluntary operation in its respective position.
Ebenso wie das Kunststoffteil gemäß der bevorzugten Ausgestaltung nicht nur einen die freie Endfläche des Verriegelungsarms abdeckenden Abschnitt und einen Befestigungsbereich aufweist, sondern im wesentlichen U-förmig ausgebildet ist, so ist bevorzugt auch seitlich beabstandet zum Verriegelungsarm nicht nur ein weiterer Arm sondern ein im wesentlichen U-förmiges Bügelelement angeordnet. Gemäß dieser bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weist der Verriegelungsbügel zwei jeweils seitlich zu den beiden Verriegelungsschenkeln beabstandete U-förmige Bügelelemente auf, deren erster Schenkel jeweils über einen Verbindungssteg mit dem freien Ende eines Verriegelungsarms verbunden und so abgebogen ist, dass er seitlich beabstandet zum Verriegelungsarm angeordnet ist. Der zweite Schenkel des Bügelelements ist seitlich beabstandet zum Lagerarm angeordnet und weist eine zur Ausnehmung im Lagerarm korrespondierende Ausnehmung für einen Lagerzapfen auf. Die beiden Schenkel des Bügelelements sind dabei über einen starren Verbindungsabschnitt miteinander verbunden, der den U-Rücken des U-förmigen Bügelelements bildet.Just as the plastic part according to the preferred embodiment not only has a free end surface of the locking arm covering portion and a mounting portion, but is substantially U-shaped, so is preferably also laterally spaced from the locking arm not only another arm but a substantially U -shaped bracket element arranged. According to this preferred embodiment, the locking bracket has two each U-shaped bracket elements laterally spaced from the two locking legs, whose first leg is connected in each case via a connecting web to the free end of a locking arm and bent so that it is laterally spaced from the locking arm. The second leg of the stirrup element is arranged laterally spaced from the bearing arm and has a recess corresponding to the recess in the bearing arm for a bearing pin. The two legs of the bracket element are connected to each other via a rigid connecting portion which forms the U-back of the U-shaped bracket member.
Ein derartig ausgebildetes Bügelelement, welches einstückig mit dem Verriegelungsarm verbunden und um etwa 180° umgebogen ist, so dass der erste Schenkel im wesentlichen parallel zum freien Ende des Verriegelungsarms und der zweite Schenkel im wesentlichen parallel zum Lagerarm ausgerichtet ist, kann nicht nur zur Halterung des Kunststoffteils sondern gleichzeitig auch als Überstreckschutz für den Verriegelungsschenkel dienen. Hierzu ist die Ausnehmung im zweiten Schenkel des Bügelelements als Langloch ausgebildet. Wenn sich der Verriegelungsschenkel beim Aufgleiten auf den Verriegelungsvorsprung aufgrund seiner leicht federnden Eigenschaft aufweitet, wird auch der erste Schenkel des Bügelelements aufgrund seiner Verbindung mit dem Verriegelungsarm bewegt bzw. mitgenommen, wobei diese Bewegung durch die Abmessung des im zweiten Schenkel ausgebildeten Langloches, durch den sich der Lagerzapfen erstreckt, begrenzt ist.Such a trained bracket element, which is integrally connected to the locking arm and bent by about 180 °, so that the first leg is aligned substantially parallel to the free end of the locking arm and the second leg substantially parallel to the bearing arm, not only for holding the Plastic part but also serve as overstretch protection for the locking leg. For this purpose, the recess in the second leg of the bracket element is formed as a slot. When the locking leg widens when sliding onto the locking projection due to its slightly resilient property, and the first leg of the bracket member is moved or taken due to its connection with the locking arm, said movement by the dimension of the formed in the second leg elongated hole through which the journal extends, is limited.
Werden die beiden über den Verriegelungsbügel miteinander zusammengehaltenen Gehäuseteile durch äußere Kräfte auseinandergezogen, so ist eine Aufweitung der Verriegelungsschenkel durch den maximal möglichen Bewegungsweg des Lagerzapfens im Langloch des zweiten Schenkels des Bügelelements begrenzt. Eine darüber hinaus gehende Aufweitung der Verriegelungsschenkel wird durch das starre Bügelelement verhindert, so dass eine Überstreckung der Verriegelungsschenkel bei auf die beiden Gehäuseteile wirkenden großen Kräften verhindert wird. Die Kräfte, die auf die Verriegelung zwischen den beiden Gehäuseteilen einwirken, werden dann von dem starren Bügelelement aufgenommen. Da aufgrund der Ausbildung des Langlochs im zweiten Schenkel des Bügelelements das starre Bügelelement eine gewisse, zulässige Aufweitung der Verriegelungsschenkel ermöglicht, wir gleichzeitig das Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels in die geschlossene Position erleichtert, da der Verriegelungsarm aufgrund der begrenzten federnden Eigenschaft des Verriegelungsschenkels leichter auf den Verriegelungsvorsprung aufgeschwenkt werden kann.If the two housing parts which are held together by the locking bracket are pulled apart by external forces, an expansion of the locking legs is limited by the maximum possible movement path of the journal in the oblong hole of the second leg of the bracket element. A further widening of the locking legs is prevented by the rigid bracket element, so that an overstretching of the locking legs is prevented when acting on the two housing parts large forces. The forces acting on the lock between the two housing parts are then taken up by the rigid bracket element. Since due to the formation of the slot in the second leg of the bracket member, the rigid bracket element allows a certain, permissible expansion of the locking legs, we also facilitates the pivoting of the locking bracket in the closed position, since the locking arm swung due to the limited resilient property of the locking leg easier on the locking projection can be.
Die zuvor genannte Aufgabe ist bei einem Verriegelungsbügel zur Verriegelung zweier Gehäuseteile, mit zwei Verriegelungsschenkeln und einem die Verriegelungsschenkel miteinander verbindenden Griffstück dadurch gelöst, dass zwei Kunststoffteile vorgesehen und derart an den Verriegelungsschenkeln angeordnet sind, dass jeweils ein Abschnitt eines Kunststoffteils zumindest die dem jeweiligen Lagerarm zugewandte freie Endfläche eines Verriegelungsarms abdeckt, die beim Verschwenken des Verriegelungsbügels in die geschlossene Position über einen Verriegelungsvorsprung am zweiten Gehäuseteil reibt. Bezüglich der Vorteile eines derartig ausgebildeten Verriegelungsbügels, der insbesondere zur Verriegelung zweier Gehäuseteile eines elektrischen Steckverbinders eingesetzt werden kann, wird auf die vorstehenden Ausführungen im Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckverbinder verwiesen.The aforementioned object is achieved in a locking bracket for locking two housing parts, with two locking legs and the locking leg interconnecting handle, characterized in that two plastic parts are provided and arranged on the locking legs, that in each case a portion of a plastic part at least facing the respective bearing arm covering free end surface of a locking arm, which rubs when pivoting the locking bracket in the closed position via a locking projection on the second housing part. With regard to the advantages of such a trained locking bracket, which can be used in particular for locking two housing parts of an electrical connector, is based on the above References made in connection with the electrical connector according to the invention.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verriegelungsbügels weisen die beiden Verriegelungsarme der beiden Verriegelungsschenkel jeweils eine Mulde zur Aufnahme je eines an einem Gehäuseteil ausgebildeten Verriegelungsvorsprungs in der geschlossenen Position des Verriegelungsbügels auf, wobei der die freie Endfläche der Verriegelungsarme jeweils abdeckende Abschnitt eines Kunststoffteils so dimensioniert ist, dass er die Mulde nicht abdeckt. Dadurch wird - wie zuvor bereits im Zusammenhang mit dem elektrischen Steckverbinder beschrieben - erreicht, dass die beiden Verriegelungsvorsprünge in der geschlossenen Position des Verriegelungsbügels jeweils von der Mulde eines metallischen Verriegelungsarms übergriffen werden.According to an advantageous embodiment of the locking bracket according to the invention, the two locking arms of the two locking legs each have a recess for receiving a respective housing part formed on a locking projection in the closed position of the locking bracket, wherein the free end surface of the locking arms each covering portion of a plastic part is dimensioned so that he does not cover the hollow. As a result-as already described in connection with the electrical connector-it is achieved that the two locking projections in the closed position of the locking bracket are each overlapped by the recess of a metallic locking arm.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verriegelungsbügels, die hier noch kurz erwähnt werden soll, ist im Griffstück eine Betätigungsöffnung ausgebildet, in die ein Werkzeug, insbesondere die Spitze eines Schraubendrehers eingesteckt werden kann. Dadurch kann das Betätigen des Verriegelungsbügels erleichtert werden, wenn der Verriegelungsbügel bzw. das Griffstück aufgrund beengter Platzverhältnisse oder aufgrund der Befestigungsposition des elektrischen Steckverbinders nur schwer zugänglich ist. Außerdem kann durch einen in die Betätigungsöffnung eingesteckten Schraubendreher eine größere Kraft zum Öffnen oder Schließen des Verriegelungsbügels aufgebracht werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the locking bracket according to the invention, which will be briefly mentioned here, an actuating opening is formed in the handle, in which a tool, in particular the tip of a screwdriver can be inserted. Thereby, the actuation of the locking bracket can be facilitated if the locking bracket or the handle is difficult to access due to confined space or due to the mounting position of the electrical connector. In addition, a larger force for opening or closing the locking bracket can be applied by a screwdriver inserted into the actuating opening.
Sind die beiden Verriegelungsschenkel und das Griffstück einstückig miteinander verbunden, so kann der Verriegelungsbügel besonders einfach als Stanz-Biegeteil hergestellt werden. Die einstückige Ausbildung des Verriegelungsbügels erhöht auch dessen mechanische Stabilität, so dass bei gleichzeitig einfacher Herstellung ein robuster und damit eine sichere Verriegelung gewährleistender Verriegelungsbügel zur Verfugung gestellt werden kann.If the two locking legs and the handle are integrally connected to each other, the locking bracket can be particularly easily manufactured as a stamped and bent part. The one-piece design of the locking bracket also increases its mechanical stability, so that at the same time simple production a robust and thus a secure locking ensuring locking bracket can be made available.
Im einzelnen gibt es nun eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, den erfmdungsgemäßen elektrischen Steckverbinder bzw. den erfindungsgemäßen Verriegelungsbügel auszugestalten und weiterzubilden.

Die Fixierung der Kunststoffteile 18 in ihrer Position relativ zu den Verriegelungsschenkeln 11, 12 erfolgt außer über die Lagerzapfen 5 insbesondere dadurch, dass am Verriegelungsbügel 4 zwei jeweils seitlich zu einem Verriegelungsschenkel 11, 12 beabstandete Bügelelemente 26 ausgebildet sind. Der erste Schenkel 27 des U-förmigen Bügelelements 26 ist über einen Verbindungssteg 28 mit dem freien Ende des Verriegelungsarms 16 verbunden, wobei das Bügelelement 26 so um etwa 180° abgebogen ist, dass der erste Schenkel 27 parallel zum Verriegelungsarm 16 und der zweite Schenkel 29 des Bügelelements 26 parallel zum Lagerarm 14 angeordnet ist. Das Bügelelement 26 ist dabei derart beabstandet vom Verriegelungsschenkel 11, 12 angeordnet, dass das Kunststoffteil 18 in dem Zwischenraum zwischen dem Bügelelement 26 und dem Verriegelungsschenkel 11, 12 gehalten wird.The fixation of the
Die Ausbildung der Bügelelemente 26 am Verriegelungsbügel 4 dient somit zunächst der Ausnahme und Halterung der beiden Kunststoffteile 18. Darüber hinaus fungieren die Bügelelemente 26 auch als Überstreckschutz für die beiden Verriegelungsschenkel 11, 12. Hierzu ist im zweiten Schenkel 29 des Bügelelements 26 eine Ausnehmung für einen Lagerzapfen 5 vorgesehen, die als Langloch 30 ausgebildet ist. Außerdem ist der Verbindungsabschnitt 31, der die beiden Schenkel 27, 29 des Bügelelements 26 miteinander verbindet so starr ausgebildet, dass ein Aufweiten des Bügelelements 26 verhindert wird.The formation of the

Das Kunststoffteil 18, das mit Ausnahme des Abschnitts 19 die im wesentlichen gleichen Außenabmessungen wie ein Bügelelement 26 aufweist, ist mit dem ersten Schenkel 22 als erster Befestigungsbereich zwischen dem Verriegelungsarm 16 und dem ersten Schenkel 27 und mit dem zweiten Schenkel 23 als zweiter Befestigungsbereich zwischen dem Lagerarm 14 und dem zweiten Schenkel 29 angeordnet. Der Abschnitt 19 des Kunststoffteils 18 ist dabei so dimensioniert, dass er sowohl die Endfläche 20 des Verriegelungsarms 16 als auch die korrespondierende Fläche 32 des ersten Schenkels 27 des Bügelelements 26 abdeckt. Der Abschnitt 19 weist somit eine Breite auf, die in etwa der Summe der Breite des Verriegelungsarms 16, der Breite des ersten Schenkels 27 und dem Abstand zwischen dem Verriegelungsarm 16 und dem ersten Schenkel 27 entspricht.The
Darüber hinaus ist am Abschnitt 19 des Kunststoffteils 18 ein wulstartiger Vorsprung 33 ausgebildet, der in eine korrespondierende Ausnehmung 34 im Verriegelungsann 16 und eine Ausnehmung 35 im ersten Schenkel 27 des Bügelelements 26 eingreift, so dass die beiden Kunststoffteile 18 zumindest im Bereich ihrer Abschnitte 19 formschlüssig mit den Verriegelungsschenkeln 11 bzw. 12 und den Bügelelementen 26 verbunden sind.In addition, a bead-
