Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting device which comprises a first component, a second component which can be connected to one another by plugging into one another and a coupling lever which is movably mounted on the first component.
  • the coupling lever is adjustable from an open position to a closed position and has coupling elements which interact with coupling elements of the first and the second component.
  • the coupling elements are designed in such a way that by moving the coupling lever from the open position to the closed position, the first and the second component can be converted from a loose state into a fixed state, the components being fully inserted into one another and firmly connected to one another and in the loose state on the other hand, are incompletely inserted into one another and loosely connected to one another.
  • a connecting device is in GB 2426875 A disclosed. Similar connection devices are, for example, from EP 1734619 A1 . JP 6243928 A . US 5603624 A and US 5474462 A known.
  • WO 2012/067065 A1 describes a connecting device in which a coupling lever can be rotated from an open position, in which the components to be connected are in a loose state, into a sliding start position and can be moved further into a closed position, in which the components are in a fixed state.
  • Connecting devices of this type serve on the one hand to simplify the connection of two components, in particular components from the field of electronics, and on the other hand to make them more reliable.
  • the connecting device has a coupling lever, the actuation of which presses the components which are initially only loosely and incompletely inserted into one another until they are completely inserted into one another.
  • the coupling lever is movably mounted on one component and can engage the other component via coupling elements, as a result of which the actuation of the lever is derived for a firmer insertion of the components and the components are also connected in a form-fitting manner.
  • the use of the coupling lever also has the advantage that, due to the leverage effect, only small forces have to be applied for a firm connection of the components and which act specifically on the components.
  • a disadvantage of such coupling levers is that their length requires a large space, especially in comparison to small electronic components, which has to be free for the coupling lever and for actuating the coupling lever around the components.
  • the space available is usually limited, particularly in electronics.
  • Another disadvantage of conventional coupling levers is their freely movable mounting on one of the components, which allows them to assume any state between the open position and the closed position, for example during transport or during assembly, so that they are connected to the other before connecting one component Component must first be brought into their open position. In addition, it is often not ensured that the two components are reliably secured to one another before the coupling lever has reached its closed position.
  • the adjustment movement is divided into two, a first partial adjustment movement leading from the open position to a defined securing position and a second partial adjustment movement from this securing position to the closed position.
  • the first partial adjustment movement from the open position into the securing position serves in particular to secure the two components that are still incompletely inserted and loosely connected against one another from being detached from one another.
  • the two components as before in the loose state, are only incompletely inserted into one another and loosely connected to one another.
  • the safety state of the two components differs from the loose state essentially only in that the coupling lever is moved from the open position to the safety position.
  • the two components are moved at most insignificantly relative to each other. Of course, it is not excluded that the components are slightly shifted against each other. However, there is no provision for the two components to be inserted more firmly into one another in the sense of a substantial contribution to reaching the solid state while applying the necessary forces during this first adjustment movement.
  • the advantage of a securing position between the open position and the closed position of the coupling lever and the resulting securing state of the components is in particular that the first partial adjustment movement from the open position to the securing position leads to reliable securing of the components to one another. For example, you can pause between the first partial adjustment movement and the second partial adjustment movement without the risk of the components becoming loose.
  • the first partial adjustment movement from the open position into the securing position and the second partial adjustment movement from the securing position into the closed position can advantageously be coordinated with one another such that the sequence of the entire adjustment movement takes up particularly little installation space. This can be achieved, for example, in that the courses of the two partial adjustment movements are aligned with one another in a special way, in particular are specifically angled.
  • the movement of the coupling lever from the open position into the locking position is essentially a pure translation. If the first partial adjustment movement is in particular a particularly short translation, the adjustment of the coupling lever into the securing position can be carried out in a particularly simple manner, for example by a short pressure in the direction of the translation movement on the coupling lever.
  • the adjustment movement of the coupling lever from the securing position into the closed position relative to the first component is essentially a pure rotation. If the second Part adjustment movement is a pure rotation, the coupling lever is pivoted about a certain fixed pivot point, which allows the lever effect to be used to firmly plug the two components together.
  • the fulcrum of the coupling lever can be determined by a point on the first component at which the coupling lever is movably mounted on the first component.
  • the second partial adjustment movement of the coupling lever is then only a pure rotation relative to the first component, since the components advantageously move towards one another by the second partial adjustment movement in order to be inserted more firmly into one another.
  • the partial adjustment movements advantageously differ not only functionally in that one brings about the securing state and the other the fixed state of the components, but also because they basically have different types of movement or directions of movement. In this way, the two movement sequences are clearly separated from one another, so that the different positions of the coupling lever and the states of the components can be set reliably.
  • the coupling lever in the open position is blocked against rotation by interaction with the first component and / or by interaction with the second component in the release position of the first and second components. So if the two components are already loosely inserted into each other in their release position, the coupling lever cannot be rotated in this embodiment. It is then, for example, only a pure translational movement for adjusting the coupling lever from the open position possible in the safety position. In this way, a targeted positive guidance of the coupling lever, which is fundamentally movable on the first component, can be achieved.
  • the blocking against rotation can be achieved by interacting with the first component and in particular by interacting with the second component, so that the blockage is brought about, for example, by the fact that the first and second components are already loosely inserted into one another.
  • the coupling lever is blocked against translation in the closed position. In this case, it is then ensured that an exit from the closed position of the coupling lever cannot be effected by a translation, but rather, for example, only by a rotation. This also ensures a defined sequence of movements when the coupling lever is actuated.
  • the two components can be connected and disconnected in accordance with the following sequence: First, the components are inserted loosely into one another and thereby brought into their loose state. As a result, the coupling lever is blocked against rotation, so that only a translation is possible as a first partial adjustment movement for transferring the coupling lever from its open position into the securing position. By moving the coupling lever into the securing position, the two components are secured against being released from one another and are then in the securing state. The second partial adjustment movement for transferring the coupling lever from the securing position into the closed position is then a pure rotational movement, through which the two are leveraged Components firmly inserted into each other and thus converted into their solid state.
  • locking means are provided between the coupling lever and the first component and / or between the coupling lever and the second component, which must be overcome when reaching and / or leaving the open position, the securing position and / or the closed position.
  • these latching means can make it necessary that a certain amount of pressure is required to actuate the coupling lever. This pressure can be applied in relation to the two partial adjustment movements, in particular at the beginning or at the end of a partial movement, ie when leaving or reaching a certain position of the coupling lever.
  • Such latching means can in particular secure the open position, the securing position and / or the closed position of the coupling lever against inadvertent actuation.
  • the snap-in or snap-out serves as haptic feedback to the operator, who can recognize from the fact that a certain position has been reached or left.
  • the coupling elements of the first component comprise a pin and that the coupling elements of the coupling lever comprise an elongated hole with a first and a second end into which the pin engages, the pin and the elongated hole being designed in relation to one another in such a way that that the coupling lever is rotatable about the pin when the pin is at the first end of the elongated hole and is not rotatable when the pin is at the second end of the elongated hole.
  • the pin of the first component and the elongated hole of the coupling lever can serve for the movable mounting of the coupling lever on the first component.
  • the interaction of the pin and the elongated hole basically enable both translational movements and rotational movements.
  • the pin In the case of translational movements, for example, the pin can be guided from one end of the elongated hole to the other end of the elongated hole.
  • the possibility of a rotational movement of the coupling lever can depend in particular on where the pin is currently located in the slot.
  • the respective shape of the pin and the elongated hole can interact in such a way that the coupling lever can be rotated at one end of the elongated hole, while it is not possible at the other end.
  • the pin and the elongated hole can furthermore be designed such that the pin cannot leave the elongated hole, for example in that the pin has a widening at its end that does not or not at all Place the slot through the slot or out of this.
  • the coupling elements of the first component comprise a guide pin and the coupling elements of the coupling lever comprise an associated guide groove into which the guide pin engages, the guide groove having a straight section and comprises an arcuate section, and wherein in the locking position of the coupling lever the guide pin is arranged at a transition between the straight and the arcuate section.
  • the interaction of the guide pin of the first component with the guide groove of the coupling lever can define the entire adjustment movement of the coupling lever as a forced guide.
  • the sequence of a translational movement and a rotating movement can be achieved in a simple manner.
  • the locking position of the coupling lever can correspond precisely to the transition between the straight and the arcuate section, so that the actuation from the open position to the locking position is a pure translation and the actuation from the locking position to the closed position is a pure rotation.
  • the arcuate section of the guide groove is preferably at a substantially constant distance from the first end of the elongated hole.
  • the arcuate section of the guide groove is then a segment of a circle, so that an adjustment movement of the coupling lever which is forcibly guided by the guide pin in the guide groove is a rotation with the first end of the elongated hole as a fixed pivot point. Consequently, such a rotation is preferably only possible if the pin of the first component is located at this first end of the elongated hole and thus defines a fulcrum for the rotational movement of the coupling lever with respect to the first component.
  • the length of the straight section of the guide groove is substantially shorter than the length of the curved section, preferably shorter than half, in particular shorter than a third of the length of the arcuate section.
  • a translation movement of the coupling lever corresponding to the straight section can be substantially shorter than a rotation of the coupling lever defined by the arcuate section.
  • the length of the straight section of the guide groove can only correspond approximately to twice the diameter of the guide pin and / or be oriented such that the coupling lever only needs to be pressed slightly in the direction of the first component in order to adjust it to its securing position. Such dimensions and orientations can ensure that the connecting device takes up particularly little installation space.
  • locking means provided between the first component and the coupling lever are designed as constrictions of the guide groove, through which the guide pin at one end of the guide groove, at the other end of the guide groove and / or at the transition between the arcuate and the straight section locks.
  • the design of locking means as constrictions of a groove, in which a pin is guided, represents a particularly simple implementation in terms of construction.
  • the coupling elements of the second component comprise a coupling pin and the coupling elements of the coupling lever an associated coupling groove, into which the coupling pin engages, the coupling groove comprising a straight section and an arcuate section, and the coupling pin in the securing position of the coupling lever a transition between the straight and the arcuate section is arranged.
  • the second component can have a coupling pin which interacts with a coupling groove of the coupling lever.
  • the interaction of the guide pin and the guide groove serves in particular to positively guide the coupling lever
  • the interaction of the coupling pin and the coupling groove serves rather to firmly plug the first and second components into one another.
  • the coupling pin can initially be encompassed by the coupling groove in such a way that the second component is already secured against loosening on the first component.
  • a further adjustment of the coupling lever can guide the coupling pin in the coupling groove in such a way that the second component is pulled more firmly into the first component above the coupling pin.
  • the arcuate section of the coupling groove has a decreasing distance from the first end of the elongated hole, starting from the transition between the arcuate and the straight section. Due to this course of the arcuate section of the coupling groove relative to the first end of the elongated hole, a rotational movement of the coupling lever around the first end of the elongated hole can result in the coupling pin of the second component in the coupling groove is brought closer to the first end of the elongated hole.
  • the coupling pin can in particular also be guided in a coupling receptacle of the first component. The coupling pin can then always be arranged only where the coupling receptacle and the coupling groove intersect.
  • the adjustment movement of the coupling lever from the securing position into the closed position preferably moves the intersection of the coupling groove and the coupling receptacle in such a way that the coupling pin is pulled deeper into the coupling receptacle and consequently the second component is pulled more firmly into the first component.
  • the coupling groove can also have constrictions as latching means for latching the coupling pin at certain points in the coupling groove.
  • the length of the straight section of the coupling groove is substantially shorter than the length of the curved section, preferably shorter than half, in particular shorter than one third of the length of the curved section.
  • the elongated hole, the straight section of the guide groove and the straight section of the coupling groove are aligned in the same direction and have the same length.
  • the elongated hole, the straight section of the guide groove and the straight section of the coupling groove can jointly define the first partial adjustment movement of the coupling lever from the open position into the securing position, which is a pure translation.
  • the elongated hole and the straight section of the guide groove define the interaction of the coupling lever with the first component, along which the coupling lever is guided, the interaction of the straight section of the coupling groove with the coupling pin of the second component can secure the second component to the first component.
  • the two components are then in the secured state, from which the second partial adjustment movement can follow in order to finally convert the components to the fixed state.
  • the arrangement of the elongated hole, the guide groove and / or the coupling groove on the coupling lever and the pin, the guide pin and / or the coupling pin on the first or second component can also be reversed in alternative embodiments, so that the elongated hole and / or the guide groove on the first component, the coupling groove on the second component and / or the pin, the guide pin and / or the coupling pin on the coupling lever are provided.
  • the coupling lever can preferably be designed as a bracket with two parallel legs, the coupling elements of the coupling lever each in pairs with the one coupling element on the one leg and the other coupling element can be provided on the other leg.
  • the coupling lever is rotated in the closed position relative to the open position by less than 90 °, preferably less than 80 °, in particular less than 70 °.
  • the smallest possible angular adjustment of the coupling lever has a particularly advantageous effect on the installation space occupied by the connecting device.
  • the connecting device can easily and reliably connect a first component to a second component.
  • These components can be, for example, electronic components, plugs and sockets and a large number of other elements.
  • the first component can also represent a cover element for the second component, for example for covering fuses.

  • the first component 13 is placed on the second component 15 as a cover element.
  • a coupling lever 17 is rotatably mounted on the first component 13. The storage takes place through the interaction of a pin 19 of the first component 13 with a hole 21 of the coupling lever 17.
  • the coupling lever 17 is in its open position, in which a coupling pin 23 of the second component 15 is just inserted into a coupling groove 25 of the coupling lever 17.
  • the coupling pin 23 By pivoting the coupling lever 17 about the pivot point defined by the pin 19, the coupling pin 23 is guided in the coupling groove 25. At the same time, the movement of the coupling pin 23 is restricted by a coupling receptacle 27 in the first component 13. Due to the interaction of the coupling groove 25 of the coupling lever 17 and the coupling receptacle 27 of the first component 13, the adjustment movement of the coupling lever 17 leads to the coupling pin 23 being pulled towards the pin 19. As a result, the first component 13 and the second component 15 are further inserted into one another and converted into a solid state.
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a connecting device 11 according to the invention in a schematic side view.
  • the connecting device 11 comprises a second component 15 (not shown completely) and a first component 13, which is placed on the second component 15 as a cover element such that the two components 13, 15 are initially not completely inserted into one another.

  • the coupling lever 17 also has a coupling groove 25 5, into which a coupling pin 23 of the second component 15 is inserted.
  • the coupling pin 23 of the second component 15 is also located in a coupling receptacle 27 of the first component 13.
  • the first component 13 has further coupling elements between the coupling lever 17 and the first component 13 a guide pin 31 which is arranged in a guide groove 33 of the coupling lever 17 and in this way restricts the movement of the coupling lever 17 in a defined manner and thus forcibly guides. How the in Fig. 2 embodiment shown in the Fig. 3 and 4 shown more clearly.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic three-dimensional view of the in Fig. 2 Connection device 11 shown, wherein the components 13, 15 are in the loose state and the coupling lever 17 is in the open position.
