Definitions
- the invention relates to a mechanical-magnetic connection construction, d. H. a magnetic force assisted mechanical interlock particularly suited for closures used on bags, rucksacks and similar articles, this list is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
- connection constructions can be divided into two main groups.
- mechanical connecting constructions whose opening and closing mechanism consists of a combination of usually positive and non-positively acting components.
- springs are used to maintain a locked state so that closing and opening must occur against the spring force.
- Such Verbindu ⁇ gskonstrutationen are known to the art, so reference is made only to the prior art from the contents of the subclasses IPC A44B.
- An interlocking mechanical interlock usually has a mechanical component which is loaded with tension, pressure or separation when the interlock is loaded.
- the size of the mechanical resistance of this component defines the stability of the connection structure.
- Mechanical connection structures are inexpensive to produce because z. B. in pocket closures only very inexpensive iron parts or plastic parts are used.
- connection constructions have the property that a locking spring force has to be overcome manually during mating. Therefore, in some cases, the handling of the connection constructions is not very comfortable, so that use is made of magnetic connection constructions, because they pull themselves together due to the magnetic force.
- haptic The force felt when closing and opening on the hand.
- the haptics of the human hand force must be adjusted.
- the magnet and the associated armature must be dimensioned according to the holding force. If no special requirements are placed on the locking force and the haptics, these connections are in principle applicable.
- closures must be oversized in certain cases, however, if z. B. safety requirements are met. This can z. B. be required in a backpack for mountaineers. This backpack may not open even if the closure is charged with a multiple of the normal locking force, which z. B. may occur in a crash.
- closures are designed with such a requirement profile as mechanical closures, since with mechanical structures and high safety factors can be realized without much additional effort. In this respect, these connection constructions have prevailed on the mass market.
- the opening haptic is unsatisfactory, because during the opening magnet and armature in their Hauptanziehungscardi, ie the direction in which they have moved when closing each other, are separated and thus a jerky feel is connected, since the magnetic attraction in the closed position is maximum and after strongly unlinear drops.
- the mechanical secured here by an additional magnet-armature system in the closed position which is also opened opposite to the magnetic field, so that the haptic for EntSich proceedings the closure has a jerky course and thus unsatisfactory.
- connection construction has two connection modules and serves to connect two elements, to each of which one of the connection modules can be fastened.
- the connecting structure has the following features:
- a locking device with at least one spring-deflecting spring locking element which is arranged in one of the connecting modules, at least one locking piece for positive locking of the connection modules, which is arranged in the other connection module and a movable unlocking element with a kraftumlenkenden rising sliding surface.
- the spring locking element is designed so that it is urged against the locking piece when closing the connecting structure.
- the spring locking element, the locking piece and the contacting surface portions of the spring locking element and the locking piece are formed so that the spring locking element is deflected laterally and finally snaps into the locking piece, when the locking element and the locking piece move relative to each other.
- the locking piece and the locking element are designed so that the mechanical strength is sufficient depending on the actual occurring or possible loads.
- the unlocking member is movable to urge the spring lock member from an engagement position in which the spring lock member is engaged with the lock piece to a disengaged position in which the spring lock member is not engaged with the lock piece.
- the kraftumlenkende increasing sliding surface of the spring locking element is designed so that it pushes the spring locking element against the spring force aside during a shift.
- connection construction snaps together, there is a positive connection.
- the movable unlocking element is displaced until the spring locking element has been pushed aside by the kraftumlenkenden rising sliding surface until the locking piece is no longer in engagement with the spring locking element is, that is, the spring locking element and the locking piece are brought from the engaged position to the disengaged position.
- the force deflecting rising sliding surface does not necessarily need to attack the end of the spring locking element, but can also attack at another, freely selectable, resilient point of the spring locking element.
- the connecting construction furthermore has a magnet armature construction, wherein the armature is arranged in one of the connecting modules and the armature is arranged in the other connecting module.
- the magnetic force between armature and magnet is chosen so large that during the closing operation, the connecting modules are pulled from a predetermined minimum distance from each other, whereby the spring locking element urges against the locking piece until it snaps into engagement.
- magnet and armature are dimensioned so that the spring force of the spring locking element is overcome. It will be clear to those skilled in the art that magnet-armature constructions can not consist of only a single magnet and a single armature.
- a magnet-armature construction will be understood to mean any combination of magnets and armatures that are least of one another, it being known to the person skilled in the art that the armature may consist of a ferromagnetic material or else may be a magnet. Certain magnetic anchor designs not only attract, but can also repel when opposing two magnetic poles of the same name. Unless special additional conditions apply, it does not matter if the magnet is moved relative to the armature or the armature is opposite to the magnet. It is also clear that the interaction between magnet and armature is the same as between two magnet attracting.
- connection modules When the connection modules are connected, there is a mechanical lock and also a magnetic attraction. It should be noted, however, that magnetic attraction absorbs only a negligible part of the main load of the connection.
- the magnetic anchor construction almost exclusively serves to automatically close the connection. So that when disconnecting the magnet from the anchor the initially mentioned pleasant, ie jerk-free feel, the connection module with the magnet and connection module with the armature laterally shifted each other until the magnetic force is weakened sufficiently to easily separate the modules by hand , This is the case when the armature surface facing the magnet has become sufficiently small. It is clear that the displacement between the magnet and the armature can also be a twist or a pivot.
- the movable magnet is coupled to the unlocking element, i. That is, with the magnet also the unlocking element is moved, whereby the term “coupled” not only means that the unlocking element must be rigidly connected to the magnet, but also a connection via a spring is present when a driver displaces the unlocking element, but this catch does not always rest against the unlocking element, ie when a clearance is present.
- connection device is both mechanically unlocked and released magnetically.
- this connecting structure has a particularly soft opening haptics. It is clear that when closing the connecting structure the above-described opening position between unlocking and spring locking mechanism and between armature and magnet must not be present, ie, when closing, the locking piece, the spring locking element and the unlocking must face each other so that it can come to snap. On the other hand, when closing, the magnet and the armature must face each other in a position in which the magnetic force between the magnet and the armature is strong enough to overcome the spring force of the spring locking element, so that the snap action can take place.
- the magnet-armature construction on a plurality of locking elements or a locking element with a plurality of locking portions With this embodiment of the invention, it is z. B. possible to better distribute the attacking load force.
- the magnet-armature construction on a coupling device which has a game in the direction of movement of the movable magnet, so that the unlocking element is pulled by means of a stop only in the direction of the magnet when the game is used up
- the advantage of this embodiment is that the displacement of the magnet from the armature can be greater than the distance the unlocking element has to be displaced until the spring locking element is out of engagement with the locking piece.
- connecting structures can be built in which the displacement of the magnet from the armature due to structural constraints must be greater than the path that the unlocking element is moved.
- the magnetic anchor construction as a coupling device on a coupling spring whose spring force along the direction of movement of the magnet and the Entriege- extending elements.
- the advantage of this embodiment is that with this combination of features a security against the opening of the connecting structure has been created under stress.
- the coupling spring is dimensioned so that in the unloaded state of the mechanical Verriegelungsvor- direction when moving the magnet via the coupling device and the unlocking is pulled along. In the loaded state, however, the frictional force between the spring locking element and the locking piece is greater than the spring force, ie, the magnet can, for. B. be moved by hand without the mechanical lock opens. If the mechanical lock is relieved in this state, the spring immediately pulls or pushes the unlocking element in the opening direction so that the connection can be opened.
- one of the connecting modules is provided with a tangible object which can be placed on the other connecting module by hand.
- This embodiment of the invention is suitable for. B. for connecting a bicycle lamp with the bicycle handlebar.
- the anchor is directly connected to the object in one piece.
- the magnet-armature construction in a connection module at least one magnet and in the other connection module at least one ferromag netic anchor or poled on attraction magnet. This arrangement is preferred when a low cost connection is needed.
- the magnet armature construction in a connection module a magnet with two ferromagnetic baffles and in the other connection module a ferromagnetic armature, wherein the baffles are arranged so that they are in magnetic operative relationship with the ferromagnetic Anchor and the magnet does not touch the anchor.
- This arrangement is preferred when a robust connection is needed, because in this magnetic anchor construction no mechanical contact of the magnetic surface with the surface of the anchor takes place, so that damage to the sensitive magnetic surface z. B. is avoided when repeated shifting, even if foreign objects such. B. sand in between.
- This arrangement is preferred when the magnetic force is particularly good to be exploited, which is achieved by the bundling of the magnetic field lines in the magnetic guide plate.
- the magnet-armature construction in each connection module on a magnet with ferromagnetic guide plates, wherein the guide plates in the closed position are attractive. This arrangement is preferred when a robust connection with a high tightening force is required in the closed state, and when at least low repulsion is desired when opening.
- the magnet-armature construction at least two each opposite magnets, which are both in a closed position of the connection in a tightening position and in the open position in a repelling position. This arrangement is preferred when a connection with high tightening force in the closed state and high repulsion force is required when opening.
- the magnet-armature construction has a magnet arrangement in which a magnet and a ferromagnetic armature are arranged in each connection module such that in the closed state the magnets are in opposition to the armatures and thus polarized, in the open state, the magnets which are poled on repulsion face each other.
- This arrangement is preferred if a cost-effective connection with high tightening force in the closed state and with low repulsion force is required when opening.
- the unlocking element in addition to the kraftumlenkenden rising sliding surface, which brings the spring locking element out of engagement with the locking piece, a second sliding surface, which after urging the spring locking element in the disengaged position, the force of the tensioned spring locking element in a Ejection force between the first connection module and the second connection module deflects to eject the first connection module from the second connection module.
- the Wound force arises when either the spring locking pieces were urged from a straight position to an oblique position and was partially converted by the resulting slope, the spring tension of the spring locking element in an ejection force, insofar as the second sliding surface allows sliding with low friction of the elements to each other, or when the unlocking with the second sliding surface presses on a slope on the spring locking element or an obliquely formed second sliding surface on the unlocking with the spring locking element interacts or combinations of the aforementioned possibilities, which convert by means known to those skilled chamfers and sliding surfaces, the spring tension at least partially into an ejection force.

- the magnet 4 is pushed off laterally in the direction of arrow C from the armature 8.
- This performs two functions: a.
- the spring locking element 9 is moved over the coupling device, so that the locking piece 9a is pushed back by the kraftumlenkende rising sliding surface 40a of the unlocking element 40 until the locking piece 9a and the locking piece 5 are no longer engaged.
- the locking piece 5 is fixedly arranged in the connection module 1 and only the unlocking element 40 is moved, or whether the locking piece and the unlocking element, as shown in FIG 1e, are made in one piece and are moved together.
