Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connecting element.
  • the connecting element is used to make different connections such as electrical, hydraulic, or other connections, wherein the connecting element is also usable in contaminated environments.
  • the object is achieved by the features of the independent claim.
  • a connecting element which comprises at least one connecting console, at least one dirt protector and at least one opening element.
  • the connecting element is in an insertion in a counter element inserted.
  • the connection console has at least one contact element.
  • the contact element represents a first interface
  • the counter element represents a second interface.
  • the dirt protector only then changes to the open state when a connection to the counter element is to be made. In this way it is prevented that the dirt protector is opened for long periods without connection of the connecting element to the counter element, which in turn ensures that the connection console is always protected against external environmental influences, in particular against contamination.
  • the dirt protector is operatively connected to the opening element.
  • moving the opening element against the insertion direction leads to a process of the dirt protector in the open state.
  • moving the opening element in the plug-in direction causes the dirt protector to move to the closed state.
  • the opening element is actuated autonomously by the insertion process of the connecting element into the counter element.
  • the dirt protector is opened only when a connection should actually be made through the connection console.
  • connection console is also operatively connected to the opening element.
  • moving the opening element against the insertion direction leads to a displacement of the connection console in the insertion direction in an extended position.
  • moving the opening element in the insertion direction causes a displacement of the connection console against the insertion in a retracted position.
  • the connection console between a retracted position and a extended position displaced.
  • the opening element is a cylindrical pin which extends along the insertion direction.
  • the cylinder pin is thus easily movable by the counter element.
  • two cylindrical pins are present, wherein the cylinder pins are each arranged on outer peripheries of the connecting element, in particular of the dirt protector.
  • the cylinder pin has a first end and a second end.
  • the first end is guided in a rail and operatively connected to the connection console and to the dirt protector.
  • the first end opposite the second end is free.
  • pressure on the free second end causes a first end process within the rail.
  • the second end is connected via at least one lever to the connection console.
  • each cylinder pin is advantageously connected to the connecting bracket via its own reversing lever.
  • the reversing lever is advantageously mounted on a support structure of the connecting element and allows movement of the connecting console in the insertion direction when the cylindrical pin are moved counter to the insertion direction. In this way, an autonomous locking is possible, since moving the connecting element in the insertion direction to insert the connecting element into the counter element, a movement of the cylindrical pin, which is advantageously applied to the counter element, causes against the insertion direction. Moving the cylinder pin against the insertion direction in turn causes a displacement of the connection console in the insertion direction. In this way, at least the connection console can be locked with the counter element.
  • the second end of the cylindrical pin is arranged in the closed state of the dirt protector in the insertion direction in front of the dirt protector and the connecting bracket.
  • moving the cylinder pin counter to the insertion direction causes, on the one hand, an opening of the dirt protector, that is to say a transfer of the dirt protector into the opened state.
  • the movement of the pin member against the insertion causes a displacement of the connecting console in the extended position.
  • a connection between the connecting element and the counter element is produced and locked autonomously by the connecting console.
  • the dirt protector is only opened when this is necessary for a contact between connecting element and counter element. Due to the automatic opening of the dirt protector by the cylinder pin is thus a maximum protection, especially the connection console, given against contamination.
  • the dirt protector advantageously has a frame element.
  • a lamellar gate is guided in the frame element, wherein the lamellar gate is displaceably guided between the opened state and the closed state.
  • the louver gate is connected to the first end of the cylindrical pin.
  • the louver gate is displaceable out of an opening spanned by the frame element, so that the louver gate can be moved into a region below or above the connection console. Should the louver gate be in the opening surrounded by the frame element, then the opening is closed. The penetration of dirt is not possible. This means that the dirt protector in is in the closed state.
  • louver gate On the other hand, is pushed out of the opening surrounded by the frame element, access to the connection console through the opening is made possible in particular. This means that the dirt protector is in the open state.
  • the frame element is the only component of the connecting element, through which access to the connection console is made possible.
  • connection console is slidable into the opening spanned by the frame element or through the opening spanned by the frame element.
  • the extended position of the connection console is located within the opening spanned by the frame member or at least partially outside the opening spanned by the frame member, wherein outside is a position in which the connection console in the insertion direction before or at least partially in front of the frame member ,
  • the frame element advantageously has a dirt wiper. Due to the dirt wiper dirt that adheres to the Lamellentor, when moving the lamellar in the open state and / or in the closed state strippable.
  • the dirt wiper is a rubber lip or a plastic lip, which rests close to the Lamellentor.
  • the dirt protector, in particular the Lamellentor self-cleaning, as a cleaning of the lamellar gate occurs every time the lamellar gate in the open state and / or in the closed state.
  • a malfunction of the connecting element is excluded due to a high degree of contamination.
  • the connecting element also preferably has an elastic element.
  • the elastic element is in particular a spiral spring. Furthermore, it is provided that the elastic element extends between a support structure of the connecting element and the connecting console. It is provided that the elastic element urges the connection bracket in the retracted position.
  • the Dirt protector which is also indirectly operatively connected via the opening element and the connection console with the elastic element, is always urged into the closed state.
  • the spring force of the elastic element is also preferably provided that a transfer of the dirt protector is made possible in the open state only at a predefined opposing force. Thus accidental opening of the dirt protector can be prevented.
  • opening the dirt protector is only possible if a predefined force is applied to the opening element, whereby the elastic element is compressed or stretched, so that a restoring force is generated. As soon as a force is no longer present on the opening element, the elastic element urges the connection console in the retracted position and the dirt protector in the closed state.
  • connection console advantageously has at least one contact element for producing an electrical and / or electronic and / or hydraulic connection.
  • connection console advantageously has at least one contact element for producing an electrical and / or electronic and / or hydraulic connection.
  • a multiplicity of different types of connection can be produced with the connection console.
  • further types of connection in particular a fuel connection, are made possible. Due to the possibility of self-locking and protection against contamination, the connecting element is suitable for different types of connections.
  • the counter element in which the connecting element can be inserted, is advantageously also a connecting element as described above. It is provided that the respective connection consoles are adapted to each other, so that the connection consoles can contact. Alternatively, the counter element is preferably a connection element that can be connected to the connection element.
  • the invention relates to a weapon carrier system comprising a connecting element as described above.
  • the weapon carrier system is a carrier system for guided missiles, wherein the missiles are provided in an ammunition battery.
  • the connecting element is advantageously used for connecting the weapon carrier system and ammunition battery.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a plan view of a connecting element 1 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows the connecting element 1 from FIG. 1 in a side view.
  • a housing which surrounds the connecting element 1, not shown, to obtain an overview of the individual components of the connecting element 1.
  • the connecting element 1 has a connection console 2.
  • the connection console 2 comprises a plurality of contact elements (not shown), with which a plurality of different types of connection can be produced.
  • the contact elements may in particular be such contact elements for producing electrical connections and / or electronic connections and / or hydraulic connections.
  • the contact elements of the connection bracket 2 with contacts of a counter-element (not shown) to be contacted.
  • the connecting element 1 is advantageously inserted into the counter element.
  • the connecting element 1 is advantageously moved in a plug-in direction 100 on the counter element.
  • the counter element may advantageously be another connecting element 1.
  • the connecting element 1 also has a dirt protector 3.
  • the dirt protector 3 is located in the insertion direction 100 in front of the connection console 2.
  • the dirt protector 3 also has frame member 13 in which a lamination gate 6 is arranged.
  • the louver gate 6 can optionally be moved into an opening spanned by the frame element 13, whereby the opening spanned by the frame element 13 is completely closed. In this case the dirt protector 3 is in a closed state.
  • the louver gate 6 can be at least partially moved out of the frame element 13, in particular completely out of the frame element 13.
  • the louver gate 6 is advantageously moved into an area below the connection bracket 2.
  • the spanned by the frame member 13 opening is open and allows access to the connection console 2, whereby the dirt protector 3 is in an open state.
  • the connecting element 1 has two opening elements 4, wherein in each case an opening element is attached to laterally outer peripheries of the frame member 13.
  • the opening elements 4 are in particular cylindrical pins and have a first end 7 and a second end 8.
  • the first end 7 of each cylindrical pin is guided in a rail 9 of a support structure 10 of the connecting element 1.
  • the first end 7 opposite the second end 8 is free. It is provided that the second end 8 of each cylinder pin is arranged in the insertion direction 100 in front of the frame member 13 and thus in front of the connection bracket 2.
  • the first end 7 is further operatively connected to the Lamellentor 6.
  • a displacement of the first end 7 along the rail 9 leads to a movement of the lamination gate 6.
  • the lamination gate 6 is within the spanned by the frame member 13 opening, whereby the spanned by the frame member 13 opening is completely closed. If, in particular by a pressure on the respective free second end 8, the opening elements 4 are moved counter to the insertion direction 100, the first end 7 is displaced within the rail 9. This simultaneously leads to a movement of the lamination gate 6 out of the frame element 13 into a region below the connection console 2. Thus, by moving the opening elements 4, the dirt protector 3 can be transferred to the open state.
  • the movement of the opening elements 4 takes place in particular such that the second end 8 of each opening element 4 rests against the counter element and the connecting element 1 is moved further in the insertion direction 100 on the counter element. In this way, the dirt protector 3 can only be opened when a contact is to be made. In all other cases, the dirt protector 3 is closed. Through this autonomous opening and closing of the Dirt Protector 3 is an effective protection of the connection console 2 ensured from contamination.
  • the reversing levers 5 are connected on the one hand to the second end 7 of an opening element 4, respectively, and are both connected via a web connection 14 to the connecting bracket 2.
  • a displacement of the second end 7 within the rail 9 causes a rotation of the reversing lever 5 and thus a displacement of the connecting bracket 2.
  • the lever 5 is a displacement of the connecting bracket 2 opposite to a displacement of the first end 7 of the respective opening element 4 within the rail 9 possible.
  • a displacement of the opening element 4 against the insertion direction 100 allows a displacement of the connection console 2 in the insertion direction 100. If the displacement of the opening element 4 is carried out in that the second end 8 rests against a counter element, wherein the connecting element 1 is further moved toward the counter element in the insertion direction 100, the connecting bracket 2 is also displaced in the insertion direction 100.
  • connection console 2 is shown in a retracted position.
  • the connecting bracket 2 can be moved to an extended state, wherein the connecting bracket 2 is in the extended state, either within the spanned by the frame member 13 opening or at least partially outside of the spanned by the frame member 13 opening.
  • outside is understood to mean a position in which at least one subregion of the connection console 2 lies in front of the frame element 13 in the insertion direction 100.
  • the elastic member 11 is advantageously a coil spring. With the coil spring 11, the connection bracket 2 is urged in the retracted position, which in the FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown. This means that displacement of the connection bracket 2 from the retracted position causes a restoring force by the elastic member 11 urging the connection bracket 2 back to the retracted position. Since the connecting bracket 2 is connected to the respective first ends 7 of the opening members 4 via the reversing levers 5, the first ends 7 being connected to the sipe gate 6, the elastic member 11 also causes the dirt protector 3 to be always without concern of an external force in the closed state.
  • a restoring force of the elastic element 11 forces the dirt protector 3 back into the closed state.
  • the restoring force of the elastic element 11 urges the slat gate 6 into the opening spanned by the frame element 13, so that the opening spanned by the frame element 13 is closed. In this way, it is ensured that the dirt protector 3 is always closed and is only opened immediately before contacting the connection bracket 2 with the counter element.
  • the dirt protector 3 has a dirt wiper 12.
  • the dirt wiper 12 is in particular a plastic lip or a rubber lip which rests against the lamella gate 6.
  • moving the louver gate 6 to the open state or the closed state causes the dirt wiper 12 to wipe over the entire louver gate 6.
  • dirt adhering to the louver gate 6 can be removed.
  • the dirt protector 3 has a self-cleaning effect, whereby a failure of the connecting element 1 is excluded due to a high degree of contamination.
  • the connecting element 1 thus enables a secure and reliable contacting, wherein a locking takes place autonomously. Likewise, this is done autonomously Provide or remove a dirt protector. Thus, incorrect operation of the connecting element 1 are almost impossible.
  • the connecting element 1 is preferably used in a weapon carrier system.
  • the weapon carrier system is a carrier system for guided missiles, wherein the missiles are provided in an ammunition battery.
  • the connecting element 1 advantageously serves to connect the weapon carrier system and the ammunition battery.
