Das Gehäuse für elektrische Steckverbindungen, beispielsweise für Elektrofahrzeuge, weist mindestens eine durch eine Eintrittsöffnung des Gehäuses geführte Kabelleitung auf, wobei das Gehäuse als Verbundteil ausgebildet aus einer Hartkomponente aus Kunststoff und einer Weichkomponente besteht. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Weichkomponente an der Kabelleitung angeordnet ist und sich in der Eintrittsöffnung befindet, so dass der Herstellungsprozess optimiert wird. Denn es sind gegenüber bekannten Gehäusen mit Knickschutz insgesamt weniger Bauteile notwenig, so dass die Herstellung nicht nur hinsichtlich der Kosten, sondern auch bezüglich der Zykluszeiten bei der Herstellung optimiert ist.The housing for electrical plug-in connections, for example for electric vehicles, has at least one cable lead routed through an inlet opening of the housing, wherein the housing as a composite part consists of a hard component made of plastic and a soft component. According to the invention it is provided that the soft component is arranged on the cable line and is located in the inlet opening, so that the manufacturing process is optimized. Because it compared to known cases with anti-kink protection fewer components are required, so that the production is optimized not only in terms of cost, but also with respect to the cycle times in the production.
Vorteilhafterweise kann die Weichkomponente ein Schrumpfschlauch sein, wodurch ein sicherer Halt der Weichkomponente an der Kabelleitung realisiert wird. Dadurch ist ein besonders effektiver Knickschutz gegeben. Zusätzlich wird der Herstellungsprozess durch die temparaturabhängigen Eigenschaften des Schrumpfschlauches weiter verbessert wird. Dies kommt insbesondere dann zum Tragen, wenn die mit dem Schrumpfschlauch verbundene Kabelleitung in ein Werkzeug zur Herstellung des Gehäuses eingebracht und dort Wärme ausgesetzt wird, so dass sich der Schrumpfschlauch folglich passgenau an die Kabelleitung anschmiegt.Advantageously, the soft component may be a shrink tube, whereby a secure hold of the soft component is realized on the cable line. This provides a particularly effective kink protection. In addition, the manufacturing process is further improved by the temperature-dependent properties of the shrink tube. This comes into play, in particular, when the cable conduit connected to the shrink tubing is introduced into a tool for producing the housing and exposed to heat there is, so that the shrink tube thus conforming snugly to the cable line.
Die Weichkomponente und das Gehäuse sind gemäß der Erfindung als Verbundteil ausgebildet, das im Rahmen der 2K-Technologie hergestellt worden ist, d.h. die Weichkomponente wird mit dem Gehäuse zu einem Verbundteil in einem gemeinsamen, synchronen Prozess der Umspritzung zusammengefügt. Die Weichkomponente ist dabei als separates Teil gefertigt und wird zusammen mit den Kontakten bzw. Kabelleitung in die Gehäuseform eingelegt, sodass auch eine zusätzliche Abdichtung auf dem Kabelummantelungswerkstoff entfällt.
Das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse eignet sich für verschiedene Umgebungsbedingungen. Es kann insbesondere Verwendung finden bei einer Betriebstemperatur zwischen ca. - 40°C und ca. 85°C und einer Lagerungstemperatur zwischen ca. -40°C und ca. 120°C.The soft component and the housing are formed according to the invention as a composite part, which has been produced in the context of 2K technology, ie the soft component is joined together with the housing to form a composite part in a common, synchronous process of overmolding. The soft component is made as a separate part and is inserted together with the contacts or cable line in the housing form, so that also eliminates an additional seal on the cable sheath material.
The housing according to the invention is suitable for various environmental conditions. It can be used in particular at an operating temperature between about - 40 ° C and about 85 ° C and a storage temperature between about -40 ° C and about 120 ° C.
Das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse zeichnet sich auch durch eine gute Dichtigkeit aus und weist im Rahmen der Schutzart vorzugsweise den Code IP54 auf.The housing according to the invention is also characterized by a good tightness and preferably has the code IP54 in the context of protection.
Nach einem eigenständigen Gedanken der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Gehäuses einer elektrischen Steckverbindung vorgesehen, wobei mindestens eine, vorzugsweise als Schrumpfschlauch ausgebildete Weichkomponente an mindestens eine Kabelleitung angebracht wird. Vorteilhafterweise kann der Schrumpfschlauch auf die Kabelleitung aufgezogen oder die Kabelleitung durch den Schrumpfschlauch hindurch gezogen werden.According to an independent idea of the invention, a method for producing a housing of an electrical connector is provided, wherein at least one, preferably designed as a shrink tube soft component is attached to at least one cable line. Advantageously, the shrink tube can be mounted on the cable line or the cable line can be pulled through the shrink tube.
Erfindungsgemäß wird anschließend die mit der Weichkomponente versehene Kabelleitung in ein Werkzeug, insbesondere eine Spritzgussform zur Herstellung des Gehäuses eingelegt und mit Kunststoff umspritzt, so dass ein Gehäuse mit im und am Gehäuse angeordneten Kabelleitungen, welche mit Steckkontakten versehen werden können. Durch den auf diese Weise realisierten Knickschutz wird die Knickempfindlichkeit verbessert. Denn die Enden der mit der Weichkomponente versehenen Kabelleitungen sind zum Teil von der Gehäusewand umschlossen und ragen zum Teil aus dem Gehäuse heraus. Ferner wird auf diese Weise ein hinsichtlich Produktionszyklen und -kosten optimierter Herstellungsprozess gewährleistet.According to the invention then provided with the soft component cable line is inserted into a tool, in particular an injection mold for producing the housing and molded with plastic, so that a housing with arranged in and on the housing cable lines, which can be provided with plug contacts. The kink protection implemented in this way improves the kink sensitivity. Because the ends of the cables provided with the soft component cable lines are partially enclosed by the housing wall and partly protrude out of the case. Furthermore, a manufacturing process optimized in terms of production cycles and costs is ensured in this way.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass sich innerhalb der Weichkomponente längliche Hohlräume befinden, durch die die Kabelleitung geführt ist. Hierdurch befindet sich ein größerer Teil der Kabelleitung innerhalb der Weichkomponente, wodurch wiederum die Knickempfindlichkeit der Kabelleitung weiter verringert und der Halt der Kabelleitungen innerhalb der Weichkomponente weiter erhöht wird. Hierzu dient auch, dass die Kabelleitung vorzugsweise passgenau durch die länglichen Hohlräume geführt ist.An advantageous development of the invention provides that are within the soft component elongated cavities through which the cable line is guided. As a result, there is a greater part of the cable line within the soft component, which in turn further reduces the kink sensitivity of the cable line and the hold of the cable lines within the soft component is further increased. This also serves that the cable line is preferably performed accurately fit through the elongated cavities.
Auch sorgt eine größere Außenfläche der Weichkomponente für eine größere Haftung zwischen der Hartkomponente und der Weichkomponente. Die Weichkomponente ist hierzu vorteilhafterweise außerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnet.Also, a larger outer surface of the soft component provides greater adhesion between the hard component and the soft component. The soft component is advantageously arranged outside the housing for this purpose.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Anbauteil vorgesehen, das einteilig mit dem Gehäuse ausgebildet ist und in das die Weichkomponente integriert ist. Die Verbindung zwischen der Hartkomponente und der Weichkomponente sollte sich durch eine hohe Haftung auszeichnen. Vorzugsweise ist die Weichkomponente daher von einem Kunststoff umspritzt, was zweckmäßigerweise durch den Einsatz der 2K-Fertigung erreicht werden kann.According to the invention, an attachment is provided, which is formed integrally with the housing and in which the soft component is integrated. The bond between the hard component and the soft component should be characterized by high adhesion. Preferably, the soft component is therefore encapsulated by a plastic, which can be conveniently achieved by the use of 2K manufacturing.
Hierzu dient auch, dass das Anbauteil einer Wand des Gehäuses zugeordnet ist, wobei das Anbauteil mit Rippen versehen ist, die sich zwischen der Wand des Gehäuses und der Eintrittsfläche der in das Anbauteil integrierten Weichkomponente befindet. Der Raum zwischen der Wand des Gehäuses und den Rippen sowie der Raum zwischen den Rippen sind vorzugsweise mit der Weichkomponente ausgefüllt. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Weichkomponente dabei aus einem Elastomer gebildet.This also serves that the attachment is associated with a wall of the housing, wherein the attachment is provided with ribs, which is located between the wall of the housing and the entrance surface of the integrated into the attachment soft component. The space between the wall of the housing and the ribs and the space between the ribs are preferably filled with the soft component. Conveniently, the soft component is formed from an elastomer.
Um den Halt zwischen dem Anbauteil und der Weichkomponente weiter zu erhöhen, sieht die Erfindung vor, dass in dem Anbauteil ein Steg ausgebildet ist, der auf der dem Gehäuse abgewandten Eintrittsfläche der Weichkomponente aufliegt.In order to further increase the hold between the attachment and the soft component, the invention provides that in the attachment a web is formed, which rests on the housing facing away from the entrance surface of the soft component.
Der Druck auf die Weichkomponente lässt sich durch die Gestaltung des Spritzgusswerkzeuges, in Bezug auf die massliche Ausgestaltung des Anbauteiles, bzw. der Rippen und Stege des Anbauteiles, variieren bzw. einstellen.
So kann z.B. zur Erreichung einer höheren Dichtigkeitsforderung eine andere Ausgestaltung erforderlich sein als für die Forderung eines engen Verlegeradius nach dem Austritt der Kabel aus dem Gehäuse. Um mehrere Kabelleitungen in das Innere des Gehäuse führen zu können, sieht die Erfindung vor, dass die Weichkomponente über eine Eintrittsfläche verfügt, die voneinander beabstandete Eintrittsöffnungen aufweist.The pressure on the soft component can be varied or set by the design of the injection molding tool, with respect to the massive design of the attachment, or the ribs and webs of the attachment.
Thus, for example, to achieve a higher density requirement, a different configuration may be required than for the requirement of a narrow installation radius after the exit of the cables from the housing. In order to be able to lead a plurality of cable lines into the interior of the housing, the invention provides that the soft component has an inlet surface which has spaced-apart inlet openings.
Die Verwendung eines Gehäuses gemäß einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 10 für ein Elektroauto ist Gegenstand von Anspruch 11.The use of a housing according to any one of claims 1 to 10 for an electric car is the subject of

Bei dem herkömmlichen Gehäuse 20 handelt es sich um ein von Kunststoff umspritztes Teil, das, wie zudem aus
Das Gehäuse 20 ist im Innern mit Kontakten 12 versehen, die, wie insbesondere die in

Das Gehäuse 20 ist aus dem Material PBT GF 30, d.h. aus Polybutylenterephtalat mit 30 % Glasfaser und somit aus einer eher harten Komponente gebildet, wohingegen das Ummantelungsmaterial der Kabelleitungen 11 aus PVC, d.h. aus Polyvinylchlorid, und folglich aus einem eher weichen Material gebildet ist.The
Hierdurch entsteht am Kabelaustritt, d.h. an den Eintrittsöffnungen 13 eine Knickstelle, die zu Beschädigungen der Kabelleitungen führen kann.This results in cable exit, i. at the inlet openings 13 a kink, which can lead to damage to the cable lines.
Das erfindungsgemäße Gehäuse, das mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 versehen ist, zeichnet sich daher, wie aus
Die Weichkomponente 15, die als Elastomer ausgebildet ist, und das Gehäuse 10 sind als Verbundteil ausgebildet, das im Rahmen der 2K-Technologie hergestellt worden ist, d.h. die Weichkomponente 15 wird mit dem Gehäuse 10 zu einem Verbundteil in einem gemeinsamen, synchronen Prozess der Umspritzung zusammengefügt, sodass die Weichkomponente 15 in dem Gehäuse 10 in Form eines umspritzten Teils vorliegt. Durch chemische Bindung zwischen den unterschiedlichen Materialien wird eine hohe Haftwirkung erzeugt.The

Das Anbauteil 16 ist an der Wand 14 des Gehäuses 10 angeordnet und mit Rippen 17 versehen, die sich zwischen der Wand 14 des Gehäuses 10 und der Eintrittsfläche 18 der in das Anbauteil 16 integrierten Weichkomponente 15 befindet. Der Raum zwischen den Rippen 17 und der Wand 14 des Gehäuses 10 sowie zwischen den Rippen 17 ist mit noch mit der Weichkomponente 15 ausgefüllt.The
Wie insbesondere aus
Das Anbauteil 16 verfügt über einen Steg 19, der auf der dem Gehäuse 10 abgewandten Seite der Eintrittsfläche 18 der Weichkomponente 15 aufliegt. Hierdurch wir ein zusätzlicher Halt der Weichkomponente 15 an dem Anbauteil 16 geschaffen. Das Anbauteil 16 weist eine Länge von ca. 19,5 mm und eine Breite von ca. 7,3 mm sowie eine Höhe von ca. 4 mm auf.The
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschränkt sich in ihrer Ausführung nicht auf das vorstehend angegebene bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiel. Vielmehr ist eine Anzahl von Varianten denkbar, welche von der dargestellten Lösung auch bei anders gearteten Ausführungen Gebrauch machen. Beispielsweise kann die Weichkomponente 15 direkt in die Wand 14 des Gehäuses 10 integriert sein, d.h. Bestandteil der Wand 14 des Gehäuses 10 sein.The present invention is not limited in its execution to the above-mentioned preferred embodiment. Rather, a number of variants is conceivable, which make use of the solution shown in other types. For example, the
Aus
Die als Schrumpfschlauch ausgebildete Weichkomponente 15 kann auf die Kabelleitung 11 aufgezogen werden. Alternativ kann die Kabelleitung 11 durch den Schrumpfschlauch 15 hindurch gezogen werden.The formed as a shrink tube
Bei der Herstellung des Gehäuses 10 wird die mit der Weichkomponente 15 versehene Kabelleitung 11 in ein Werkzeug, insbesondere eine Spritzgussform zur Herstellung des Gehäuses 10 eingelegt und mit Kunststoff umspritzt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform sind somit keine weiteren Bauteile, wie etwa ein Anbauteil 16, notwendig, da die an der Kabelleitung 11 angeordnete Weichkomponente 15 bereits bei der Herstellung des Gehäuses 10 in dieses eingebracht wird, so dass ein Gehäuse 10 mit im und am Gehäuse 10 angeordneten Kabelleitungen 11 hergestellt wird.In the manufacture of the
