Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical contact coupling with cross connector for track-guided vehicles, in particular rail vehicles.
- the electrical contact coupling has a coupling housing, wherein at least one upper contact bank is provided within the coupling housing and at least one lower contact bank arranged vertically below the upper contact bank is provided.
- electrical contact couplings are generally used to transmit control signals and to transmit power between two adjacent car bodies of a multi-unit vehicle.
- the arrangement, control and size of the electrical contact couplings used are dependent on the available space in the vehicle and on the number of signals to be transmitted and the requirements of the wagon farmer or the railway operator.
- electrical contact couplings are designed such that the coupling and uncoupling of two electrical contact couplings can be done automatically.
- arranged on the vehicles or car bodies to be coupled with each other electrical contact couplings are precisely brought together by means of centering and then pressed together with arranged on the front side of the electrical contact couplings sealing surfaces so that a reliable seal against the environment is achieved.
- uncoupled Condition usually covers a protective flap on the front side of the electrical contact coupling to protect the coupling elements or possibly under voltage contact elements of the electrical contact coupling against contact and contamination.
- the electrical contact coupling is located at the top or side of the coupling head of a mechanical coupling and consists of a housing with flap, a contact carrier with superior contacts for the transmission of electrical signals.
- FIGS. 1 a to 1 c where an electrical contact coupling 100 known from the prior art is shown as an example, in its opened state, so that the contact carrier 102 is exposed to the contacts 103.
- the housing 101 of the electrical contact coupling 100 has a rectangular cross-section, with guides 105 and front-side centering elements 106 being located on the outer side facing the coupling head.
- the front of the housing 101 of the electrical contact coupling 100 is sealed to the contact carrier 102.
- the contact carrier 102 is enclosed at the front by a profile seal. Holes are arranged in the contact carrier 102, in which connection pins sit, wherein the contacts 103 are screwed into the connecting pins on the front side.
- the back of the housing 101 is sealed with a lid.
- the cover contains the cable glands and the drive plate.
- the flap 104 of the electrical contact coupling 100 with which, if necessary, the contacts 103 can be protected on the contact carrier 102, is arranged pivotably mounted in the front region of the housing 101 of the electrical contact coupling 100.
- the flap 104 protects in uncoupled position, the contacts 103 from dirt, water and mechanical damage and prevents accidental contact with people.
- the electrical contact couplings 100 to be coupled are displaced forward relative to the mechanical coupling into the common coupling plane.
- the centering elements 106 of the opposing Overlying housing 101 of the electrical contact couplings 100 slide into each other and align the housing 101 to each other.
- the corresponding contacts 103 of the electrical contact couplings 100 strike each other precisely and the sealing frames are pressed against each other.
- each electrical contact coupling is provided with a corresponding mechanism so that the flap is automatically opened or closed during coupling and uncoupling.
- the electrical contact coupling and the normally constructed counter-coupling is designed so that the contact tongue 40 is pushed by a contact bank 20 in the direction of the counter-coupling and is pushed into a contact bank of the counter-coupling.
- the counter-coupling can be supplied with power and the counter-coupling in turn can push their contact tongue in a contact bank 21 of the electrical contact coupling.
- each electrical contact coupling has a contact tongue 40 with a corresponding contact bank 20 and a further contact bank 21, wherein the contact tongue of the counter-coupling is pushed into the second contact bank 21.
- each individual contact 50 which is provided on the first contact bank 20 and corresponding to the contact tongue 40, must be contacted via lines coming from a vehicle and beyond each individual contact 51 of the second contact bank 21 or, correspondingly, each individual contact of the contact tongue of the counter-coupling must also be contacted with lines coming from the same vehicle, in order to ensure that all contacts of the first contact bank and all contacts of the second contact bank with the associated, are connected adjacent vehicle and thereby, regardless of which side of the electrical contact coupling and the counter-coupling is driven, all contacts are connected to the respective vehicle.
- the present invention has the object to optimize an electrical contact coupling for a track-guided vehicle, in particular rail vehicle to the effect that the number of lines within the electrical contact coupling are significantly reduced can.
- an electrical contact coupling with cross connectors for track-guided vehicles preferably rail vehicles specified, wherein the electrical contact coupling has a coupling housing.
- the electrical contact coupling has at least one upper contact bank, which is arranged within the coupling housing.
- a lower contact bank is provided, which is arranged with respect to the vertical below the upper contact bank and is also provided within the coupling housing. be- see the upper contact bank and the lower contact bank is provided a contact tongue, which are above the contact tongue upper contacts and below the contact tongue lower contacts. The upper contacts are thus between the upper contact bank and the contact tongue and the lower contacts are located between the lower contact bank and the contact tongue.
- Energy and / or signals from an adjacent, associated vehicle can be transmitted via the upper and lower contacts via corresponding lines and via the contact tongue to a counter-coupling.
- a cross connector is provided on at least one of the contact banks such that the individual upper and lower contacts of the contact tongue are connected in pairs via this cross connector with corresponding contacts of the contact tongue of the counter coupling, which is pushed in the coupled state of the couplings in the electrical contact coupling.
- the cross connector is formed as a printed circuit board, preferably as a printed and more preferably as a multilayer printed circuit board.
- the formation of the cross connector as a printed circuit board and especially as a printed and multilayer printed circuit board in particular has the advantages that the many contacts of the contact tongue with the many contacts of the contact tongue of the counter-coupling by means of a single component, namely just the printed and preferably multi-layer cross connector is made possible.
- Such a circuit board can be made very small despite the large number of electrical contact paths.
- the fact that only a few components need to be made (or a component if only one circuit board is used) ensures that the cost of manufacturing can be reduced.
- the cross connector is formed on the upper contact bank and the upper contacts of the contact tongue with corresponding contacts of the contact tongue of the mating coupling are electrically or optically connected in pairs by the cross connector and in addition a further cross connector such on the lower contact bank is formed, that the lower contacts of the contact tongue with corresponding contacts of the contact tongue of the counter-coupling in pairs are electrically and / or optically connected.
- printed circuit board connectors can be plugged onto the contact banks in such a way that the lower contacts are electrically and / or optically connected to a single cross connector and, moreover, the upper contacts are electrically connected to the same cross connector and / or optically connected.
- the cross connector is in this case provided on the upper contact bank and through the cross connector, the contacts of the contact tongue with the corresponding contacts of the counter-coupling are electrically and / or optically connected.
- the printed circuit board connector thus makes it possible not to have to form a cross connector on the upper contact bank and a further cross connector on the lower contact bank, but only a single transverse connector has to be formed on the upper contact bank.
- Such an interruption of the lower contact bank frees up additional space in the electrical contact coupling. For example, elements for wireless transmission of signals between the electrical contact coupling and the counter-coupling can be accommodated in this space.
- At least one plug connector can be plugged onto the contact banks and at least one multi-pole cable is provided which is electrically and / or optically connected to the plug connector in such a way that the contacts of the contact tongue are connected via the transverse connector of the contact bank. the connector and via the cable with the contacts of the contact tongue of the counter-coupling in pairs electrically and / or optically connected.
- both the upper contact bank and the lower contact bank can be interrupted, since the multi-pole cable ensures that the pairwise contacting of the contacts of the contact tongue with the contacts of the contact tongue of the counter-coupling is made possible.
- This space can be made very flexible in that the contacting as described above is ensured via a multi-pole cable. It is even conceivable to lead the multipolar cable out of the electrical contact coupling and thus to produce the cross connections at a location other than that of the electrical contact coupling.
