Eine Ausdehnung der Gehäusewandung des Normgerätesteckers in Einsteckrichtung sowie ein Freiraum zwischen der Wandungsinnenseite des Gehäuses des Normgerätesteckers und dem Normgerätestecker ist erfindungsgemäß so ausgebildet, dass sowohl die normentsprechende Steckdose gemäss IEC/EN 60320 ungehindert eingeführt werden kann, als auch eine solche Steckdose gemäss IEC/EN 60320 einführbar ist, welche in ein in Einsteckrichtung offenes Dichtgehäuse integriert oder aufgenommen ist und die Innenkontur des Dichtgehäuses der Aussenkontur der Gehäusewandung des Gehäuses des Normgerätesteckers komplementär ausgebildet ist, derart, dass beim Einsteckvorgang sowohl die elektrische Verbindung erfolgt als auch das Dichtgehäuse der Steckdose in eng anliegenden Formschluss und Kontakt mit dem Normsteckergehäuse gelangt und hierdurch die Gehäusewandungdes Gehäuses des Normgerätesteckers außenseitig umgriffen wird.Furthermore, the housing has means for attachment to or in a, to be supplied with electrical energy device. An expansion of the housing wall of the standard device plug in the insertion direction and a space between the Wandungsinnenseite the housing of the standard device plug and the standard device plug is inventively designed so that both the standard corresponding socket according to IEC / EN 60320 can be freely introduced, as well as such a socket according to IEC / EN 60320 is inserted, which is integrated or accommodated in a plug-in direction open sealing housing and the inner contour of the sealing housing of the outer contour of the housing wall of the housing of the standard equipment plug is formed complementary, that during the insertion both the electrical connection takes place and the sealing housing of the socket comes in close-fitting positive engagement and contact with the standard connector housing and thereby the Gehäusewandungdes housing of the standard device connector is embraced on the outside.
Es liegt im Sinne der Erfindung, dass bezüglich der Ausbildung von Stecker und Steckdose mit Gehäuseausführung auch eine kinematische Umkehr erfolgen kann.It is within the meaning of the invention that with respect to the design of plug and socket with housing design and a kinematic reversal can be done.
Bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist in der Innenwandung des Dichtgehäuses der Steckdose ein umlaufendes Dichtmittel, insbesondere mindestens ein Dichtring eingesetzt bzw. angeordnet.

Eine solche einfache Verbindung genügt in vielen Fällen den gegebenen Umweltbedingungen, ist allerdings nicht für höhere Schutzgrade geeignet.Such a simple connection satisfies the given environmental conditions in many cases, but is not suitable for higher degrees of protection.
Wie bereits dargelegt, ist der Einsatz von Gerätenetzsteckverbindungen gemäß der Norm IEC/EN 60320-1 weit verbreitet. Derartige Steckverbindungen sind gegen Staub und Wasser nach IP40 geschützt. Für den Bedarf höherer Schutzarten verweist die Norm auf weitere, weniger geläufige Steckverbindungen, z.B. IEC/EN 60320-2-3 für eine Schutzart gemäß IPx4.As already stated, the use of device plug-in connections in accordance with the IEC / EN 60320-1 standard is widespread. Such connectors are protected against dust and water according to IP40. For the needs of higher types of protection, the standard refers to other, less well-known connectors, e.g. IEC / EN 60320-2-3 for a degree of protection according to IPx4.
In vielen Anwendungsfällen genügt bereits das Erreichen der Schutzart IP40. Allerdings erfordern bestimmte Einsatzfälle eine höhere Schutzart, z.B. im medizinisch-technischen Bereich.In many applications, the achievement of IP40 protection is sufficient. However, certain applications require a higher degree of protection, e.g. in the medical-technical field.
Sollen diese mit gängigen Gerätesteckverbindungen gemäß IEC/EN 60320-1 ausgerüstet werden, empfiehlt die Norm, ergänzende Schutzmaßnahmen von gerätebaulicher Seite anzuwenden. Hier existieren individuelle Lösungen gerätebaulicher Art, in denen weniger geschützte Steckverbindungen von dem Gerätegehäuse mit der erforderlich Schutzart umschlossen sind, wobei das Gerätegehäuse die Steckverbindung gemäß der Darstellung nach
Diese Maßnahmen rufen für diejenigen mehrzahligen Geräteexemplare, für die eigentlich die Schutzart IP40 genügt, unnötige Kosten bei der Herstellung sowie zusätzliche Handhabungs- und Montagemaßnahmen hervor.These measures create unnecessary manufacturing costs and additional handling and assembly measures for those multi-device devices that are actually IP40 rated.
Wie im Stand der Technik geschildert, sind Lösungen verbreitet, in denen lediglich Gerätesteckverbindungen selbst dicht ausgeführt sind und für den dichten Einbau in Gerätegehäusen vorgesehen werden. So ausgerüstete Geräte sind zwar grundsätzlich dicht, oft jedoch nicht die betreffende Steckvorrichtung selbst. Entsprechende Geräte dürfen nur im vom Netz getrennten Zustand z.B. Spritzwasser ausgesetzt werden. Ein solcher Schutzgrad dient vornehmlich der Reinigungsfähigkeit.As described in the prior art, solutions are common in which only appliance connectors are even tight and are provided for tight installation in device housings. Although devices equipped in this way are generally leakproof, they are often not the plug-in device itself. Corresponding devices may only be used in the disconnected state, e.g. Be exposed to splashing water. Such a degree of protection serves primarily the cleanability.
Einen Schutz auch der Kontakte im Bereich der Steckverbindung bieten sogenannte Faltenbälge. Hierbei werden kleine elastische Faltenbälge auf die Stifte des Gerätesteckverbinders geschoben. Eine aufgesteckte Gerätesteckdose legt sich an die Faltenbälge an. Durch Zusammendrücken eines Faltenbalgs wird der Kontaktstift umschlossen und geschützt. Ein solcher Schutz bedingt, dass die Oberfläche der Gerätesteckdose des Netzkabels im Bereich der Buchsen frei von Verschmutzungen oder Konturen sein muss.A protection of the contacts in the area of the connector offer so-called bellows. Here, small elastic bellows are pushed onto the pins of the device connector. An attached appliance socket attaches to the bellows. By squeezing a bellows, the contact pin is enclosed and protected. Such protection requires that the surface of the mains socket of the mains cable in the area of the sockets must be free from soiling or contours.
Die Lösungen gemäß dem im Folgenden geschilderten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung lösen das Problem, wonach bei vielen Gerätetypen für die überwiegende Anzahl von Exemplaren die Schutzart IP40 ausreichend ist, jedoch bei bestimmten Einsatzfällen, Betriebsarten oder Umständen eine höhere Schutzart, z.B. IP54, erforderlich ist. Dabei soll die den Schutz der Steckvorrichtung erzielende Konstruktion nicht wie beim Stand der Technik Teil des Gerätegehäuses sein und auch keinen dementsprechenden Aufwand nach sich ziehen.The solutions according to the below-described embodiment of the invention solve the problem that in many types of equipment for the vast majority of copies the degree of protection IP40 is sufficient, but in certain applications, modes or circumstances a higher degree of protection, e.g. IP54, is required. It should not be the protection of the plug-in device construction as in the prior art, part of the device housing and no corresponding effort to pull.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ergibt sich ein Vorteil dahingehend, dass alle Geräte gemäß der überwiegenden Anzahl von Anwendungen in der Gehäuseschutzart IP40 mit vergleichsweise einfacher Konstruktion und geringen Kosten für Steckverbinder gemäß IEC 60320-1 ausrüstbar sind. Für den Fall, dass eines der mit Strom zu versorgenden elektrischen Geräte eine Gehäuseschutzart >IP40 aufzuweisen hat, ist es gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung möglich, durch schlichten Einsatz eines zusätzlich erforderlichen Normgerätesteckers mit umgebendem Gehäuse und entsprechendem mit Dichtgehäuse versehenen Steckdosenteil mit Anschlussleitung die gewünschte Schutzart zu erzielen. Die erfindungsgemäßen Gehäuseteile bilden dann im Bereich des Netzanschlusses eine Schutzvorrichtung mindestens der Schutzart IP54.With the solution according to the invention there is an advantage in that all devices can be equipped according to the vast majority of applications in the IP40 housing protection with relatively simple design and low cost of connectors according to IEC 60320-1. In the event that one of the electrical appliances to be supplied with electricity has a Housing protection> IP40 has, it is possible according to the present invention to achieve the desired degree of protection by simply using an additionally required standard equipment plug with surrounding housing and corresponding provided with a sealing housing socket part with connecting cable. The housing parts according to the invention then form, in the area of the mains connection, a protective device of at least degree of protection IP54.
Die Kosten für die geräteseitige Gehäusekonstruktion samt Gerätestecker und Montage entsprechen denen einfacher handelsüblicher IEC 60320-1 Geräteeinbaustecker. Die Kosten für die Erzielung der höheren Gehäuseschutzart verlagern sich auf das dann lediglich noch notwendige Geräteanschlusskabel. Der für die Schutzart notwendige Teil des Gerätegehäuses ist mit dem Anschlusskabel verbunden. Eine Umrüstung eines mit oben genanntem Gerätesteckverbinder ausgestatteten Geräts von der Gehäuseschutzart IP40 auf eine höhere Schutzart erfordert keinen Mehraufwand in der Fertigung und keinerlei Änderung am mit Strom zu versorgenden Gerät selbst, sondern lediglich ist die Verwendung eines Normgerätesteckers mit umgebendem Gehäuse bzw. wenn ein solcher erfindungsgemäßer Stecker bereits verbaut ist, nur noch den Einsatz eines Anschlusskabels mit Steckdose, die in ein in Einsteckrichtung offenes Gehäuse integriert oder von einem solchen Gehäuse aufgenommen ist.The costs for the device-side housing design, including the device plug and mounting, correspond to those of standard commercial IEC 60320-1 device plug-in connectors. The costs for achieving the higher degree of protection of the housing relocate to the then only necessary device connection cable. The part of the device housing required for the degree of protection is connected to the connection cable. A conversion of a device equipped with the above-mentioned connector of the housing protection IP40 to a higher degree of protection does not require extra effort in the production and no change to be supplied with power device itself, but only the use of a standard device plug with surrounding housing or if such according to the invention Plug is already installed, only the use of a connection cable with socket, which is integrated in a plug-in open housing or housed by such a housing.

Aus den Ausführungen ist erkennbar, dass in das Gehäuse mit integriertem Normgerätestecker bedarfsweise eine Normsteckdose oder eine mit Dichtgehäuse versehene Normsteckdose und entsprechendem Anschlussmittel einführbar ist.From the comments it can be seen that in the housing with integrated standard device plug, if necessary, a standard socket or a sealed housing provided standard socket and corresponding connection means is insertable.
Zur Verbesserung der Dichtwirkung besteht die Möglichkeit, mindestens die Gehäusewandung des den Normstecker umschließenden Gehäuses aus einem elastischen oder elastomeren Material auszuführen.To improve the sealing effect, it is possible, at least the housing wall of the housing enclosing the standard connector made of an elastic or elastomeric material.
Zur verbesserten Einführen bzw. Aufsetzen der Steckdose mit Gehäuse auf den Normstecker mit Gehäuse können Einführschrägen oder entsprechende konische Einführflächen vorhanden sein.For improved insertion or placement of the socket with housing on the standard plug with housing insertion bevels or corresponding conical insertion surfaces may be present.
