Definitions
- Seals for multiple connections can be designed as integral seals, also referred to as collective seals or sealing mats. Such a seal can seal several ports simultaneously.
- the sealing mat may have a plurality of cable bushings, can be passed through the cable or contact plug to a plug contact receiver. However, if connections are not made at all positions of the sealing mat, an open cable feed-through can remain at these points, through which dirt and moisture can reach the plug-in contact receiver.
- a sealing mat for the tight passage of pipes has a first outer side and a second outer side opposite the first outer side. Furthermore, the sealing mat has at least one line leadthrough which connects the first outer side to the second outer side. In this case, the line leadthrough has a first end region, which adjoins the first outer side of the sealing mat, and a second end region, which adjoins the second outer side of the sealing mat.
- a protective skin is arranged on the cable feedthrough. The protective skin is arranged in the first end region or in the second end region of the conduit bushing and seals the first outer side from the second outer side in an intact state.
- the idea of the invention is based on providing a sealing mat which, after its manufacture, is initially tightly closed by means of protective skins. Furthermore, the protective skins are arranged in the line bushings so that they are located near the surface of the sealing mat and in this way a controlled removal or opening of the protective skin is possible without that parts of the protective skin inside the Passing cable entry and there prevent electrical contact or optimal sealing.
- the sealing mat of the invention can prevent entrainment of particles in the sealing area, which can provoke a leak.
- the sealing mat according to the invention offers protection against dirt and moisture both on occupied and unoccupied contact points. Furthermore, the sealing mat can ensure electrical insulation of the lines performed.
- the sealing mat can be used in a connector structure. For example, can be passed through the sealing mat lines to a connector receiver. In motor vehicles, the sealing mat may be arranged, for example, at an interface of a measuring unit and a harness connector.
- the lines can be, for example, electrical lines that have, for example, a contact plug and cable.
- the sealing mat has a first outer side and a second outer side opposite this side.
- the sealing mat can be designed symmetrically, so that the first outer side can be converted by reflection on an axis of symmetry in the second outer side.
- the first outer side can be designed as a contact insertion side, through which, for example, a contact plug penetrates into the sealing mat.
- the second outer side can be designed as the side facing away from the contact plug and the contact receiver facing side.
- a line or a plug contact can be performed from the first outer side to the second outer side.
- the sealing mat can have a plurality of cable bushings.
- sealing elements such as lamellae may be provided, which bear when performing a contact plug through the cable bushing on the contact plug and thus produce a seal after the protective skin is broken.
- the arrangement of the protective skin in the vicinity of the outer sides or walls of the sealing mat a maximum distance to the sealing elements, is achieved in the interior of the cable feedthrough. This ensures that the split or torn protective skin does not reach the area of the sealing elements.
- the lead bushing has first and second end portions disposed at opposite ends of the lead bushing.
- the end regions can each amount to 30%, 20% or 10% of the total length of the cable bushing.
- the protective skin is arranged on or in the line bushing in the first or second end region.
- the protective skin is in the vicinity of the surface of the sealing mat and can be manually or automatically removed before inserting contact plugs into the cable feedthrough in an additional step.
- the protective skin can be easily pierced by means of the contact plug.
- the protective skin is preferably arranged in the vicinity of that outer side which faces the contact plug and faces away from the contact plug receiver.
- the protective skin may for example be designed as a partition or foil, which consists of the same material as the mat.
- the sealing mat and the protective skin can be made of silicone, for example.
- the protective skin can be made so thin that it can be pierced by a contact plug with little force.
- the protective skin In the intact condition, ie if no contact plug has severed the protective skin, the protective skin provides, for example, an airtight or hermetic seal from the first to the second outer side. In the pierced or perforated state of the outer skin, a seal from the first to the second outer side is ensured by sealing elements located in the conduit passage, for example sealing blades, in cooperation with the contact plug.
- the protective skin is arranged in a plane which is formed by the first outer side or which is formed by the second outer side.
- the protective skin lies in the plane of the outer contour or on the outer side of the sealing mat. In this way, the protective skin for removal before passing through the plug contacts can be easily accessible.
- the protective skin is made in one piece with the sealing mat.
- the protective skin is made integral with the sealing mat.
- the protective skin can be formed in a casting process as part of the sealing mat.
- a mold may be provided which consists of two halves and in which one of the halves pins or stamps are arranged. When assembling the two halves, the pins are slightly spaced from the bottom of the second half of the mold. After pouring a Guss stolene forms between the punches and the bottom of the second half of the protective skin.
- the protective skin has the same material as the sealing mat.
- the protective skin may consist of the same material as the sealing mat.
- the material which is contained in both the sealing mat and in the protective skin is an elastomer.
- the elastomer may be, for example, a plastic which is elastically deformable and deformed, for example, when a force is exerted and then returns to its original shape.
- the material may be silicone or rubber.
- the sealing mat and the protective skin can be made entirely of silicone or rubber or combinations of these materials.
- the protective skin has a first region with a first material thickness and a second region with a second material thickness.
- the second material thickness is smaller than the first material thickness.
- predetermined breaking points or notches can be provided in the protective skin, which ensure a controlled puncture of the protective skin by a line or a contact plug.
- the first and second material thicknesses may correspond to different thicknesses of the protective skin.
- the protective skin is thinner or more fragile than in the first area.
- perforations may be provided in the second region, which predetermine a predetermined breaking point, but which does not completely penetrate the protective skin.
- the protective skin on a cable feedthrough may have a plurality of first and a plurality of second regions.
- the second region may be implemented as a perforated line or notch or as two intersecting perforated lines.
- the protective skin is designed to be broken in the second area by a line or a contact plug.
- the second region is designed as a predetermined breaking point.
- the protective skin is thin compared to the dimension of the longitudinal axis of the line feedthrough.
- the sealing mat on a sealing blade is arranged between the first end region and the second end region.
- the sealing lamella for example, is arranged centrally in the cable feedthrough and thus as far away as possible from the protective skin. In this way, a success of the severed protective skin can be prevented in the region of the sealing blades and in this way a possible deterioration of the sealing function of the sealing blades can be prevented.
- the protective skin has a first diameter.
- the protective skin is arranged at a first distance from the sealing blade. The first distance is greater than the diameter of the protective skin.
- the protective skin may for example be circular and have a diameter.
- the distance between the arranged in the middle of the line bushing sealing blade to the protective skin can be a multiple of the diameter or a radius of the protective skin. In this way it can be ensured that the protective skin 19 does not get into the area of the sealing lamella when tearing.
- the sealing mat may have one or more sealing blades, which are arranged in the line bushing in a central region.
- the sealing fins can be designed as elevations to the longitudinal axis of the cable feedthrough out. In the area of the fins, the diameter of the cable feedthrough is reduced in comparison to the locations of the cable feedthrough without fins.
- the sealing mat on a plurality of line bushings.
- a method for producing a sealing mat described above comprises the steps of: providing a mold having a first and a second half; In this case, one or more punches is provided only on the first half of the mold, which correspond in shape to the line feedthrough of the sealing mat; Filling the mold with a material comprising elastomers.
- the idea of the invention according to the second aspect is based on using, for the production of the above-described sealing mat, a mold on which pins or stamps are provided on only one side.
- the number of pins can be halved in this way.
- less precision is necessary because now no pins are used on opposite sides, which must meet exactly.
- the mold is designed so that in the closed state of the mold, a distance between the bottom of the mold and the pins is formed, which corresponds to the thickness of the protective skin.
- the mold can therefore be simplified and made more robust.
- stamps have to be provided in both halves of a casting mold which prevent a filling of the filling compound over a certain contact pressure. With the method according to the invention, it is no longer necessary to touch or touch tool elements.

Description
Dichtungen für mehrere Anschlüsse können als integrale Dichtungen, auch als Sammeldichtungen bzw. Dichtmatten bezeichnet, ausgeführt sein. Eine derartige Dichtung kann mehrere Anschlüsse gleichzeitig abdichten. Dabei kann die Dichtmatte mehrere Leitungsdurchführungen aufweisen, durch die Kabel- bzw. Kontaktstecker zu einem Steckkontaktempfänger geführt werden können. Sind jedoch nicht an allen Positionen der Dichtmatte Anschlüsse durchgeführt, so kann an diesen Stellen eine offene Leitungsdurchführung verbleiben, durch die Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit in den Steckkontaktempfänger gelangen können.Seals for multiple connections can be designed as integral seals, also referred to as collective seals or sealing mats. Such a seal can seal several ports simultaneously. In this case, the sealing mat may have a plurality of cable bushings, can be passed through the cable or contact plug to a plug contact receiver. However, if connections are not made at all positions of the sealing mat, an open cable feed-through can remain at these points, through which dirt and moisture can reach the plug-in contact receiver.
Um dies zu vermeiden müssen die offenen Positionen der Dichtmatte nachträglich verschlossen werden. Dies kann zu einem hohen Kosten-, Arbeits- und Materialaufwand führen.To avoid this, the open positions of the sealing mat must be closed afterwards. This can lead to a high cost, labor and material costs.
Beispielsweise aus
Es kann daher ein Bedarf bestehen, eine verbesserte Dichtmatte bereitzustellen, die es einerseits ermöglicht nicht verwendete Kontaktstellen abzudichten und andererseits gleichzeitig eine sichere Abdichtung und Kontaktierung des Kontaktempfängers bei Durchführung eines Kontaktsteckers ermöglicht.There may therefore be a need to provide an improved sealing mat which, on the one hand, makes it possible to seal unused contact points and, on the other hand, at the same time enables secure sealing and contacting of the contact receiver when a contact plug is made.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung gemäß den unabhängigen Ansprüchen gelöst werden. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.This object is achieved by the subject matter of the present invention according to the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the present invention are described in the dependent claims.
Im Folgenden werden Merkmale, Einzelheiten und mögliche Vorteile einer Vorrichtung gemäß Ausführungsformen der Erfindung im Detail diskutiert.In the following, features, details and possible advantages of a device according to embodiments of the invention will be discussed in detail.
Gemäß einem ersten Aspekt der Erfindung wird eine Dichtmatte zum dichten Durchführen von Leitungen vorgestellt. Die Dichtmatte weist eine erste Außenseite und eine der ersten Außenseite gegenüberliegende zweite Außenseite auf. Ferner weist die Dichtmatte mindestens eine Leitungsdurchführung auf, die die erste Außenseite mit der zweiten Außenseite verbindet. Die Leitungsdurchführung weist dabei einen ersten Endbereich, der an die erste Außenseite der Dichtmatte angrenzt und einen zweiten Endbereich, der an die zweite Außenseite der Dichtmatte angrenzt, auf. Eine Schutzhaut ist an der Leitungsdurchführung angeordnet. Die Schutzhaut ist dabei im ersten Endbereich oder im zweiten Endbereich der Leitungsdurchführung angeordnet und dichtet in einem unversehrten Zustand die erste Außenseite von der zweiten Außenseite ab.According to a first aspect of the invention, a sealing mat for the tight passage of pipes is presented. The sealing mat has a first outer side and a second outer side opposite the first outer side. Furthermore, the sealing mat has at least one line leadthrough which connects the first outer side to the second outer side. In this case, the line leadthrough has a first end region, which adjoins the first outer side of the sealing mat, and a second end region, which adjoins the second outer side of the sealing mat. A protective skin is arranged on the cable feedthrough. The protective skin is arranged in the first end region or in the second end region of the conduit bushing and seals the first outer side from the second outer side in an intact state.
Anders ausgedrückt basiert die Idee der Erfindung darauf, eine Dichtmatte bereitzustellen, die nach ihrer Herstellung zunächst mal mit Hilfe von Schutzhäuten dicht geschlossen ist. Ferner sind die Schutzhäute so in den Leitungsdurchführungen angeordnet, dass sie sich in der Nähe der Oberfläche der Dichtmatte befinden und auf diese Weise ein kontrolliertes Entfernen bzw. Öffnen der Schutzhaut möglich ist, ohne dass Teile der Schutzhaut ins Innere der Leitungsdurchführung gelangen und dort einen elektrischen Kontakt oder eine optimale Abdichtung verhindern können.In other words, the idea of the invention is based on providing a sealing mat which, after its manufacture, is initially tightly closed by means of protective skins. Furthermore, the protective skins are arranged in the line bushings so that they are located near the surface of the sealing mat and in this way a controlled removal or opening of the protective skin is possible without that parts of the protective skin inside the Passing cable entry and there prevent electrical contact or optimal sealing.
Somit kann die erfindungsgemäße Dichtmatte ein Verschleppen von Partikeln in den Dichtbereich verhindern, die eine Undichtigkeit provozieren können. Gleichzeitig bietet die erfindungsgemäße Dichtmatte sowohl an belegten als auch an unbelegten Kontaktstellen einen Schutz vor Verschmutzungen und Feuchtigkeit. Ferner kann die Dichtmatte eine elektrische Isolation der durchgeführten Leitungen gewährleisten.Thus, the sealing mat of the invention can prevent entrainment of particles in the sealing area, which can provoke a leak. At the same time, the sealing mat according to the invention offers protection against dirt and moisture both on occupied and unoccupied contact points. Furthermore, the sealing mat can ensure electrical insulation of the lines performed.
Die Dichtmatte kann in einer Steckverbinderstruktur eingesetzt werden. Beispielsweise können durch die Dichtmatte Leitungen zu einem Steckverbindungsempfänger geleitet werden. In Kraftfahrzeugen kann die Dichtmatte beispielsweise an einer Schnittstelle einer Messeinheit und eines Kabelbaumsteckers angeordnet sein. Die Leitungen können dabei zum Beispiel elektrische Leitungen sein, die zum Beispiel einen Kontaktstecker und Kabel aufweisen.The sealing mat can be used in a connector structure. For example, can be passed through the sealing mat lines to a connector receiver. In motor vehicles, the sealing mat may be arranged, for example, at an interface of a measuring unit and a harness connector. The lines can be, for example, electrical lines that have, for example, a contact plug and cable.
Die Dichtmatte weist eine erste Außenseite und eine dieser Seite gegenüberliegende zweite Außenseite auf. Die Dichtmatte kann dabei symmetrisch ausgeführt sein, so dass die erste Außenseite durch Spiegelung an einer Symmetrieachse in die zweite Außenseite übergeführt werden kann. Alternativ kann die erste Außenseite als Kontakteinsteckseite ausgeführt sein, durch die zum Beispiel ein Kontaktstecker in die Dichtmatte eindringt. Die zweite Außenseite kann als die vom Kontaktstecker abgewandte und dem Kontaktempfänger zugewandte Seite ausgeführt sein.The sealing mat has a first outer side and a second outer side opposite this side. The sealing mat can be designed symmetrically, so that the first outer side can be converted by reflection on an axis of symmetry in the second outer side. Alternatively, the first outer side can be designed as a contact insertion side, through which, for example, a contact plug penetrates into the sealing mat. The second outer side can be designed as the side facing away from the contact plug and the contact receiver facing side.
Durch die in der Dichtmatte vorgesehene Leitungsdurchführung kann eine Leitung bzw. ein Steckkontakt von der ersten Außenseite zur zweiten Außenseite geführt werden. Die Dichtmatte kann dabei eine Vielzahl von Leitungsdurchführungen aufweisen. In der Leitungsdurchführung können dichtende Elemente, wie z.B. Lamellen vorgesehen sein, die bei Durchführung eines Kontaktsteckers durch die Leitungsdurchführung an dem Kontaktstecker anliegen und somit eine Abdichtung herstellen, nachdem die Schutzhaut durchbrochen ist.By provided in the sealing mat cable feedthrough, a line or a plug contact can be performed from the first outer side to the second outer side. The sealing mat can have a plurality of cable bushings. In the line bushing sealing elements, such as lamellae may be provided, which bear when performing a contact plug through the cable bushing on the contact plug and thus produce a seal after the protective skin is broken.
Durch die Anordnung der Schutzhaut in der Nähe der Außenseiten bzw. -wände der Dichtmatte wird ein größtmöglicher Abstand zu den dichtenden Elementen, im Inneren der Leitungsdurchführung erreicht. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, dass die aufgetrennte oder aufgerissene Schutzhaut nicht in den Bereich der dichtenden Elemente gelangt.The arrangement of the protective skin in the vicinity of the outer sides or walls of the sealing mat a maximum distance to the sealing elements, is achieved in the interior of the cable feedthrough. This ensures that the split or torn protective skin does not reach the area of the sealing elements.
Die Leitungsdurchführung weist einen ersten und einen zweiten Endbereich auf, die an gegenüberliegenden Enden der Leitungsdurchführung angeordnet sind. Die Endbereiche können dabei jeweils 30%, 20% oder 10% der Gesamtlänge der Leitungsdurchführung betragen.The lead bushing has first and second end portions disposed at opposite ends of the lead bushing. The end regions can each amount to 30%, 20% or 10% of the total length of the cable bushing.
Die Schutzhaut ist dabei an oder in der Leitungsdurchführung im ersten oder zweiten Endbereich angeordnet. Auf diese Weise befindet sich die Schutzhaut in der Nähe der Oberfläche der Dichtmatte und kann vor Einführen von Kontaktsteckern in die Leitungsdurchführung in einem zusätzlichen Schritt manuell oder automatisch entfernt werden. Alternativ kann die Schutzhaut leicht mittels der Kontaktstecker durchstoßen werden.The protective skin is arranged on or in the line bushing in the first or second end region. In this way, the protective skin is in the vicinity of the surface of the sealing mat and can be manually or automatically removed before inserting contact plugs into the cable feedthrough in an additional step. Alternatively, the protective skin can be easily pierced by means of the contact plug.
Die Schutzhaut ist dabei vorzugsweise in der Nähe derjenigen Außenseite angeordnet, die dem Kontaktstecker zugewandt und vom Kontaktsteckerempfänger abgewandt ist.The protective skin is preferably arranged in the vicinity of that outer side which faces the contact plug and faces away from the contact plug receiver.
Die Schutzhaut kann beispielsweise als Trennwand oder Folie ausgeführt sein, die aus dem gleichen Material wie die Matte besteht. Die Dichtmatte und die Schutzhaut können zum Beispiel aus Silikon bestehen. Dabei kann die Schutzhaut so dünn ausgeführt sein, dass sie bei geringer Kraftaufwendung durch einen Kontaktstecker durchstoßen werden kann.The protective skin may for example be designed as a partition or foil, which consists of the same material as the mat. The sealing mat and the protective skin can be made of silicone, for example. The protective skin can be made so thin that it can be pierced by a contact plug with little force.
Im unversehrten Zustand, wenn also kein Kontaktstecker die Schutzhaut durchtrennt hat, bietet die Schutzhaut eine zum Beispiel luftdichte bzw. hermetische Abdichtung von der ersten zur zweiten Außenseite. Im durchstoßenen bzw. durchbrochenen Zustand der Außenhaut wird eine Abdichtung von der ersten zur zweiten Außenseite durch in der Leitungsdurchführung befindliche Dichtelemente, wie zum Beispiel Dichtlamellen, in Zusammenwirkung mit dem Kontaktstecker gewährleistet.In the intact condition, ie if no contact plug has severed the protective skin, the protective skin provides, for example, an airtight or hermetic seal from the first to the second outer side. In the pierced or perforated state of the outer skin, a seal from the first to the second outer side is ensured by sealing elements located in the conduit passage, for example sealing blades, in cooperation with the contact plug.
Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist die Schutzhaut in einer Ebene, die von der ersten Außenseite gebildet ist oder die von der zweiten Außenseite gebildet ist, angeordnet.According to an embodiment of the invention, the protective skin is arranged in a plane which is formed by the first outer side or which is formed by the second outer side.
Anders ausgedrückt liegt die Schutzhaut in der Ebene der Außenkontur bzw. auf der Außenseite der Dichtmatte. Auf diese Weise kann die Schutzhaut für ein Entfernen vor dem Durchführen der Steckkontakte gut zugänglich sein.In other words, the protective skin lies in the plane of the outer contour or on the outer side of the sealing mat. In this way, the protective skin for removal before passing through the plug contacts can be easily accessible.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist die Schutzhaut einstückig mit der Dichtmatte ausgeführt. Anders ausgedrückt ist die Schutzhaut integral mit der Dichtmatte ausgeführt. Beispielsweise kann die Schutzhaut in einem Gießprozess als Teil der Dichtmatte gebildet werden. Hierfür kann eine Gießform vorgesehen sein, die aus zwei Hälften besteht und bei der in einer der Hälften Stifte bzw. Stempel angeordnet sind. Beim Zusammensetzen der zwei Hälften sind die Stifte bzw. Stempel geringfügig beabstandet von dem Boden der zweiten Hälfte der Gießform. Nach eingießen einer Gussmaße bildet sich zwischen den Stempeln und dem Boden der zweiten Hälfte die Schutzhaut aus.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the protective skin is made in one piece with the sealing mat. In other words, the protective skin is made integral with the sealing mat. For example, the protective skin can be formed in a casting process as part of the sealing mat. For this purpose, a mold may be provided which consists of two halves and in which one of the halves pins or stamps are arranged. When assembling the two halves, the pins are slightly spaced from the bottom of the second half of the mold. After pouring a Gussmaße forms between the punches and the bottom of the second half of the protective skin.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die Schutzhaut das gleiche Material wie die Dichtmatte auf. Insbesondere kann die Schutzhaut aus dem gleichen Material wie die Dichtmatte bestehen.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the protective skin has the same material as the sealing mat. In particular, the protective skin may consist of the same material as the sealing mat.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist das Material, welches sowohl in der Dichtmatte als auch in der Schutzhaut enthalten ist, ein Elastomer. Das Elastomer kann dabei beispielsweise ein Kunststoff sein, der elastisch verformbar ist und sich zum Beispiel bei Ausübung einer Kraft verformt und danach wieder in die ursprüngliche Form zurückkehrt. Beispielsweise kann das Material Silikon oder Gummi sein. Dabei können die Dichtmatte und die Schutzhaut komplett aus Silikon oder Gummi oder Kombinationen dieser Materialien bestehen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the material which is contained in both the sealing mat and in the protective skin is an elastomer. The elastomer may be, for example, a plastic which is elastically deformable and deformed, for example, when a force is exerted and then returns to its original shape. For example, the material may be silicone or rubber. The sealing mat and the protective skin can be made entirely of silicone or rubber or combinations of these materials.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die Schutzhaut einen ersten Bereich mit einer ersten Materialstärke und einen zweiten Bereich mit einer zweiten Materialstärke auf. Die zweite Materialstärke ist dabei kleiner als die erste Materialstärke.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the protective skin has a first region with a first material thickness and a second region with a second material thickness. The second material thickness is smaller than the first material thickness.
Anders ausgedrückt können in der Schutzhaut Sollbruchstellen bzw. Kerben vorgesehen sein, die ein kontrolliertes Durchstoßen der Schutzhaut durch eine Leitung bzw. einen Kontaktstecker gewährleisten.In other words, predetermined breaking points or notches can be provided in the protective skin, which ensure a controlled puncture of the protective skin by a line or a contact plug.
Die erste und die zweite Materialstärken können dabei unterschiedlichen Dicken der Schutzhaut entsprechen. Im zweiten Bereich ist die Schutzhaut dünner bzw. fragiler als im ersten Bereich. Ferner können im zweiten Bereich Perforierungen vorgesehen sein, die eine Sollbruchstelle vorgeben, jedoch die Schutzhaut nicht komplett durchdringen.The first and second material thicknesses may correspond to different thicknesses of the protective skin. In the second area, the protective skin is thinner or more fragile than in the first area. Furthermore, perforations may be provided in the second region, which predetermine a predetermined breaking point, but which does not completely penetrate the protective skin.
Die Schutzhaut an einer Leitungsdurchführung kann mehrere erste und mehrere zweite Bereiche aufweisen. Beispielsweise kann der zweite Bereich als eine perforierte Linie bzw. Kerbe oder als zwei sich kreuzende perforierte Linien ausgeführt sein.The protective skin on a cable feedthrough may have a plurality of first and a plurality of second regions. For example, the second region may be implemented as a perforated line or notch or as two intersecting perforated lines.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist die Schutzhaut ausgeführt, im zweiten Bereich von einer Leitung bzw. einem Kontaktstecker durchbrochen zu werden. Hierzu ist der zweite Bereich als Sollbruchstelle ausgeführt. Ferner ist die Schutzhaut im Vergleich zur Abmessung der Längsachse der Leitungsdurchführung dünn ausgeführt.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the protective skin is designed to be broken in the second area by a line or a contact plug. For this purpose, the second region is designed as a predetermined breaking point. Furthermore, the protective skin is thin compared to the dimension of the longitudinal axis of the line feedthrough.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die Dichtmatte eine Dichtlamelle auf. Die Dichtlamelle ist dabei zwischen dem ersten Endbereich und dem zweiten Endbereich angeordnet.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the sealing mat on a sealing blade. The sealing blade is arranged between the first end region and the second end region.
Anders ausgedrückt ist die Dichtlamelle zum Beispiel mittig in der Leitungsdurchführung angeordnet und somit möglichst weit von der Schutzhaut entfernt. Auf diese Weise kann ein Gelangen der durchtrennten Schutzhaut in den Bereich der Dichtlamellen unterbunden werden und auf diese Weise eine eventuelle Verschlechterung der Dichtfunktion der Dichtlamellen verhindert werden.In other words, the sealing lamella, for example, is arranged centrally in the cable feedthrough and thus as far away as possible from the protective skin. In this way, a success of the severed protective skin can be prevented in the region of the sealing blades and in this way a possible deterioration of the sealing function of the sealing blades can be prevented.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die Schutzhaut einen ersten Durchmesser auf. Die Schutzhaut ist dabei in einem ersten Abstand von der Dichtlamelle angeordnet. Der erste Abstand ist dabei größer als der Durchmesser der Schutzhaut.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the protective skin has a first diameter. The protective skin is arranged at a first distance from the sealing blade. The first distance is greater than the diameter of the protective skin.
Die Schutzhaut kann beispielsweise kreisförmig ausgeführt sein und einen Durchmesser aufweisen. Der Abstand der in der Mitte der Leitungsdurchführung angeordneten Dichtlamelle zur Schutzhaut kann dabei ein Vielfaches des Durchmessers bzw. eines Radius der Schutzhaut betragen. Hierdurch kann sichergestellt werden, dass die Schutzhaut 19 beim Zerreißen nicht in den Bereich der Dichtlamellen gerät.The protective skin may for example be circular and have a diameter. The distance between the arranged in the middle of the line bushing sealing blade to the protective skin can be a multiple of the diameter or a radius of the protective skin. In this way it can be ensured that the
Die Dichtmatte kann eine oder mehrere Dichtlamellen aufweisen, die in der Leitungsdurchführung in einem mittleren Bereich angeordnet sind. Die Dichtlamellen können als Erhebungen zur Längsachse der Leitungsdurchführung hin ausgeführt sein. Im Bereich der Lamellen ist der Durchmesser der Leitungsdurchführung verringert im Vergleich zu den Stellen der Leitungsdurchführung ohne Lamellen.The sealing mat may have one or more sealing blades, which are arranged in the line bushing in a central region. The sealing fins can be designed as elevations to the longitudinal axis of the cable feedthrough out. In the area of the fins, the diameter of the cable feedthrough is reduced in comparison to the locations of the cable feedthrough without fins.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die Dichtmatte eine Vielzahl von Leitungsdurchführungen auf.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the sealing mat on a plurality of line bushings.
Gemäß einem zweiten Aspekt der Erfindung wird ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer oben dargestellten Dichtmatte beschrieben. Das Verfahren weist die folgenden Schritte auf: Bereitstellen einer Gussform mit einer ersten und einer zweiten Hälfte; dabei ist lediglich an der ersten Hälfte der Gussform ein bzw. mehrere Stempel vorgesehen, die in ihrer Form der Leitungsdurchführung der Dichtmatte entsprechen; Füllen der Gussform mit einem Material, welches Elastomere aufweist.According to a second aspect of the invention, a method for producing a sealing mat described above is described. The method comprises the steps of: providing a mold having a first and a second half; In this case, one or more punches is provided only on the first half of the mold, which correspond in shape to the line feedthrough of the sealing mat; Filling the mold with a material comprising elastomers.
Anders ausgedrückt basiert die Idee der Erfindung gemäß dem zweiten Aspekt darauf, für die Herstellung der oben dargestellten Dichtmatte eine Gussform zu verwenden, an der lediglich auf einer Seite Stifte bzw. Stempel vorgesehen sind. Im Gegensatz zu bisher üblichen Herstellungsverfahren für Dichtmatten kann die Anzahl der Stifte auf diese Weise halbiert werden. Ferner ist weniger Präzision notwendig, da nunmehr keine Stifte auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten verwendet werden, die exakt aufeinandertreffen müssen.In other words, the idea of the invention according to the second aspect is based on using, for the production of the above-described sealing mat, a mold on which pins or stamps are provided on only one side. In contrast to conventional production methods for sealing mats, the number of pins can be halved in this way. Furthermore, less precision is necessary because now no pins are used on opposite sides, which must meet exactly.
Die Gussform ist dabei so ausgeführt, dass im geschlossenen Zustand der Gussform ein Abstand zwischen dem Boden der Gussform und den Stiften entsteht, der der Dicke der Schutzhaut entspricht.The mold is designed so that in the closed state of the mold, a distance between the bottom of the mold and the pins is formed, which corresponds to the thickness of the protective skin.
Die Gussform kann also vereinfacht werden und robuster ausgeführt sein. Im Gegensatz dazu müssen bei bekannten Verfahren in beiden Hälften einer Gussform Stempel vorgesehen sein, die über einen gewissen Anpressdruck einen Zusammenfluss der Füllmasse unterbinden. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist kein Touchieren bzw. Berühren von Werkzeugelementen mehr notwendig.The mold can therefore be simplified and made more robust. In contrast, in known processes stamps have to be provided in both halves of a casting mold which prevent a filling of the filling compound over a certain contact pressure. With the method according to the invention, it is no longer necessary to touch or touch tool elements.
