Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coupling for power cables according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Couplings of the type mentioned have coupling elements which are locked by means of a bayonet lock. Since both coupling elements, so the plug part and the socket part, are made solid according to the prior art, results in a rigid connection, which remains only due to frictional forces in the locked position.
  • a normal force is generated by means of a bayonet mechanism, which compresses the plug and socket.
  • a high normal force is also important in order to obtain a low-resistance electrical transition between the plug part and the socket part.
  • the described release process is caused in practice, in particular by mechanical vibrations, by heating occurring during operation of the connector and the associated thermal expansion or by a setting behavior of the contact surfaces. As a result, an even stronger and uneven heating of the components will occur due to the increased contact resistance, which can reinforce the effect even more.
  • the heating may further damage the connectors, their insulation or the connected cables or machine parts.
  • the present invention has for its object to reliably prevent the automatic release of the connector of the coupling and to produce the lowest possible and constant contact resistance.
  • the plug parts and socket parts should be compatible with the elements known today, so that parts of different manufacturers can be easily combined.
  • the coupling according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • the locking pin is displaceably mounted in the plug part in the axial direction of the coupling bolt, the locking bolt being held in a basic position in the direction of a rear end of the coupling bolt by means of a spring device and, when the engagement part is made, between the plug part and the socket part of the locking bolt is moved by positive engagement with the groove in the socket part in the direction of the front end of the coupling bolt and thereby the spring means is tensioned to form a biasing force.
  • the current transition surfaces formed in particular by the end faces of the plug part and the socket part are not changed, so that they are formed directly on solid components as in the prior art.
  • the elasticity is implemented by a spring-loaded locking bolt, which is designed so that it can be inserted in the unloaded position in the guide groove of the bayonet lock, and during the locking, by the against each other Twisting of plug part and socket part takes place, is tensioned against spring force.
  • the coupling of the invention thus has over known solutions thus increased security against automatic release and is compatible with commercially available components.
  • the invention is a further development of known coupling elements for high current connections, wherein the transmitted currents are usually between about 20 and 600 A.
  • the elements are preferably designed as single-pole and serve the low-resistance connection of flexible copper cables with cross-sections of approx. 10 - 120 mm2.
  • the plug part or the socket part can also be designed as a bulkhead version for installation in machines or control cabinets.
  • the coupling pin of the plug part is provided with a central through hole and a radial recess, in particular produced by milling, wherein in the central through hole a pull rod is guided, which provided at the front end with the radially arranged locking pin is, wherein the locking pin penetrates the radial recess and the spring means between the base body and the tension rod is arranged such that in the preparation of the engagement connection between the male part and the female part of the locking bolt moves into the female part and the biasing force is greater.
  • the coupling pin is mounted axially movable in the main body of the plug part, wherein the coupling pin is provided with a radially arranged locking pin and the spring means between the main body and the coupling pin is arranged such that when producing the engagement connection between the
  • Plug part and the socket part of the coupling pin is pulled out of the body and the spring force is greater.
  • the spring device has at least one plate spring.
  • a stop for limiting the movement of the locking bolt may be formed.
  • the stop for the movement of the locking pin is defined by the end of the spring travel of the at least one disc spring. If the groove formed in the socket part at its end remote from the end face has a parallel to the end face groove segment, such that in the preparation of the engagement connection between the plug part and the socket part during the movement of the locking pin in the region of the helical segment of the groove first a continuous Increasing the bias of the spring device and then the bias remains constant during the movement of the locking pin in the region of the groove segment, in a further advantageous embodiment, a tactile snap connection can be realized, which provides additional protection against unwanted loosening.
  • the groove formed in the socket part may have at its end facing away from the end face a back to the end face directed groove segment, such that during the production of the engagement connection between the plug part and the Buchs enteil during movement of the locking pin in the region of the helical segment the groove first, a continuous increase in the bias of the spring means and then during the movement of the locking pin in the region of the groove segment, the bias voltage is continuously reduced. It is particularly advantageous if either the plug part or the socket part are provided for installation in an electrical device.
  • Fig. L is a plug part of a coupling in isometric view
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the plug part shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of the plug part shown in FIG. 1;
  • Fig. S is a side view of the socket part shown in Figure 4;
  • Fig. 6 is a partial sectional view of a main body of the Fig. 4 Darge presented socket part according to section line VI-VI in Fig. 4;
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the main body shown in FIG. 6 according to section line VII - VII in FIG. 6, showing a first embodiment of a groove formed in the main body;
  • FIG. Fig. 8 shows a second embodiment of the groove shown in Fig. 7.
  • a plug part 1 of the coupling is shown, which starting from an end face 27 of a base body 2 has a coupling pin 3 with a longitudinal bore 13.
  • the coupling pin 3, in conjunction with the longitudinal bore 13, has a recess 14, preferably made by milling, for receiving a locking bolt 4.
  • the locking pin 4 is formed by a cranked end of a recorded in the longitudinal bore 13 tie rod 1 5, wherein the locking pin 4 formed by the bent end penetrates the recess 14 and projects radially beyond the coupling pin 3.
  • This protruding bent end of Zustabes 15 now forms the movable in the longitudinal direction of the connector part 1 locking bolt 4, wherein the other end of the tension rod 15 by means of a spring means 16, which in the present case has a plate spring 17, biased against the base body 2 of the connector part 1 becomes.
  • the plate spring 1 7 is arranged in the illustrated embodiment between a formed in the base body 2 bore paragraph of the longitudinal bore 1 3 and arranged on a threaded portion 20 of the tension rod 15 nut 19.
  • disc springs as a spring element of the spring device 16 proves to be particularly advantageous since disc springs already develop large spring forces with a small stroke and space. It is also particularly advantageous if the maximum travel of the locking pin 4 is limited without further components by the plate spring is pressed flat and then forms a mechanically stiff stop. By appropriately tightening the clutch thus the same high contact forces between the two coupling halves can be achieved, as in the prior art corresponding rigid couplings having a fixed locking pin.
  • a socket part 7 is shown, which is formed in a base 8 receiving bore 9 for receiving desd
  • Coupling pin 3 of the connector part 1 has.
  • a groove 10 is formed, which has different Nutsegmente, namely a Nutterrorismssegment 23, a helical segment 24 and a groove segment 25 and 26 respectively.
  • the groove start segment 23 extends from an end face 28 of the main body 8 axis parallel to the receiving bore 9.
  • the Nutterrorismssegment 23 is used for loose insertion of the coupling pin 3 of the male part 1 in the female part 7. Then follows the Wendelseg- ment 24, which is a constant positive slope having.
  • the locking pin 4 is inserted into the groove start segment 23.
  • the subsequent mutually twisting of the plug part 1 and the female part 7 of the locking bolt 4 of the plug part 1 follows the helical segment 24 of the groove 10, whereby the coupling parts are contracted similar to locking a bayonet lock, between the end faces 27, 28, a surface contact is formed and the Spring device 16 is tensioned.
  • a groove segment 25 of slope zero follows, i. the groove segment 25 runs parallel to the end face 28 of the main body.
  • the spring device 16 is no longer tensioned.
  • no force component is now produced which is directed in the opening direction of rotation of the coupling, which is still the case in the helical segment 24 with a positive gradient.
  • This force component counteract only the frictional forces between the coupling parts, so the plug part 1 and the female part 7, so that the clutch is always easier, i. with less effort, can be opened than closed. Due to the arrangement of the groove segment 25 ensures that no internal forces in the clutch more on
  • Opening the connection act and also the necessary external force to Opening the connection is higher, since the supporting force is eliminated by the inclined plane between the locking pin 4 and the coil segment 24.
  • the socket part according to the invention can be designed so that compatibility with existing plug parts in a rigid design with a fixed locking pin according to the prior art is maintained. This is achieved by designing the helical segment so that a rigidly mounted locking pin, which is geometrically designed according to the IEC 60974-12 standard, can not reach the next groove segment.
  • the groove segment 26 has a negative slope, so that the groove segment 26 is directed back to the end face 28.
  • the transition of the spring-loaded Arretierbolzens4 of the helical segment 24 with positive slope in the groove segment 26 with negative slope for the operator of the clutch noticeable change in the tightening torque. This will abruptly decrease during the transition from the helical segment 24 to the groove segment 26, which is intuitively understood as the engagement of the clutch. The operator thus knows that the coupling is correctly locked. To release the clutch, an increasing torque must first be applied in order to overcome the transition point between the helical segment 24 and the groove segment 26 of the groove 10. Accidental release is thus excluded.
