Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Außenleiteranordnung und ein Herstellungsverfahren für eine Außenleiteranordnung.The present invention relates to an outer conductor arrangement and a manufacturing method for an outer conductor arrangement.
Steckverbinder sind beispielsweise durch den Stecker "PosiBand" von Positronic sowohl mit offenem Eintritt (englisch "open entry") als auch mit geschlossenem Eintritt (englisch "closed entry") bekannt.Connectors are known, for example, through the "PosiBand" connector from Positronic, both with an open entry and with a closed entry.
Ein Steckverbinder mit einem offenen Eintritt ist in
Ein Steckverbinder mit einem geschlossenen Eintritt ist in
Versuche des Standes der Technik zeigen, dass die Optimierung einer der Parameter EMV-Dichtigkeit, Steckkräfte und Stabilität und Impedanzoptimierung eines Steckverbinders im Hochfrequenzbereich einander entgegenstehen. Beispielsweise ist dies in bestehenden Produkten der Anmelderin, Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co. KG, erkennbar. Die Figur 9 zeigt ein solches Produkt.State-of-the-art tests show that the optimization of one of the parameters EMC tightness, insertion forces and stability and impedance optimization of a connector in the high frequency range contradict each other. For example, this can be seen in existing products from the applicant, Rosenberger Hochfrequenciestechnik GmbH & Co. KG. Figure 9 shows such a product.
In Figur 5 ist ein Außenleiter 90 eines Hochvolt (HV)-Steckers, der auf Frequenzen im Megahertzbereich ausgelegt ist, dargestellt. Der Außenleiter umfasst einen geschlossenen Eintritt 91 und federnde Kontaktlaschen 92 mit Kontaktpunkten 93, die sich hinter dem geschlossenen Eintritt befinden. Frequenzabhängig treten Resonanzen an dem Außenleiter aufgrund von Kapazitäten zwischen den Steckpartner auf. Zwar treten die vorstehend genannten Nachteile in diesem Frequenzbereich noch nicht auf, allerdings ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit einen Außenleiter, der für einen Stecker in einem höheren Frequenzbereich geeignet ist, bereitzustellen. Die
Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Steckverbinder mit einem geschlossenen Eintritt und verbesserten Impedanzeigenschaften anzugeben.Against this background, the present invention is based on the object of specifying a connector with a closed entry and improved impedance properties.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Außenleiteranordnung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by an outer conductor arrangement with the features of patent claim 1.
Demgemäß ist vorgesehen:
eine Außenleiteranordnung für einen Steckverbinder aufweisend einen Außenleitergrundkörper und einen Außenleiterring, wobei der Außenleitergrundkörper mehrere Kontaktlaschen aufweist, wobei sich der Außenleiterring an einem interfaceseitigen Ende des Außenleitergrundkörpers anschließt, an wenigstens einem Anbindungsbereich mittels einer Haltelasche an den Außenleitergrundkörper angebunden ist und von geschlossener Struktur ist, um einen geschlossenen Eintritt der Außenleiteranordnung zu bilden, wobei Kontaktlaschen vorgesehen sind, die nicht an den Außenleiterring angebunden sind, wobei zwischen dem Außenleiterring und dem Außenleitergrundkörper ein Durchmessersprung ausgebildet ist, wobei der Durchmesser des Außenleitergrundkörpers größer ist als der Durchmesser des Außenleiterrings, wobei wenigstens eine Kontaktlasche einen Anbindungsbereich aufweist, indem die Kontaktlasche als Haltelasche ausgebildet ist, an welcher der Außenleiterring angebunden ist, wobei die Haltelasche eine federnde Kontaktlasche in der Haltelasche aufweist.Accordingly it is provided:
an outer conductor arrangement for a connector having an outer conductor base body and an outer conductor ring, the outer conductor base body having a plurality of contact tabs, the outer conductor ring connecting to an interface-side end of the outer conductor base body, being connected to the outer conductor base body by means of a retaining tab at at least one connection area and having a closed structure to form a closed inlet of the outer conductor arrangement, with contact tabs being provided which are not connected to the outer conductor ring, with a diameter jump being formed between the outer conductor ring and the outer conductor base body, the diameter of the outer conductor base body being larger than the diameter of the outer conductor ring, with at least one contact tab has a connection area in which the contact tab is designed as a holding tab to which the outer conductor ring is connected, the holding tab has a resilient contact tab in the holding tab.
Die der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrunde liegende Idee besteht darin, Enden von Kontaktlaschen eines Außenleiters so hinter einem Außenleiterring anzuordnen, dass die Kontaktlaschen flexibel verformbar sind, um niedrige Steckkräfte zu gewährleisten, und gleichzeitig einen geschlossenen Eintritt durch einen Außenleiterring zu schaffen.The idea underlying the present invention is to arrange ends of contact tabs of an outer conductor behind an outer conductor ring in such a way that the contact tabs are flexibly deformable in order to ensure low insertion forces and at the same time to create a closed entry through an outer conductor ring.
Dementsprechend weisen die nicht an den Außenleiterring angebundenen Kontaktlaschen dieselben toleranzausgleichenden Eigenschaften auf, wie die Kontaktlaschen gemäß Figur 7.Accordingly, the contact tabs that are not connected to the outer conductor ring have the same tolerance-compensating properties as the contact tabs according to Figure 7.
In dieser Patentanmeldung wird unter einem Ring ein umlaufender Gegenstand verstanden. Seine Querschnittsfläche kann unter anderem rund, oval, ellipsenförmig oder dergleichen sein.In this patent application, a ring is understood to mean a rotating object. Its cross-sectional area can be, among other things, round, oval, elliptical or the like.
Erfindungsgemäß weist die Außenleiteranordnung zwischen dem Außenleitergrundkörper und dem Außenleiterring einen Durchmessersprung nach innen auf. Durchmessersprünge im Außenleiter ermöglichen eine Anpassung der Impedanz.According to the invention, the outer conductor arrangement has an inward diameter jump between the outer conductor base body and the outer conductor ring. Diameter jumps in the outer conductor allow the impedance to be adjusted.
Erfindungsgemäß ist wenigstens eine Kontaktlasche als Haltelasche, mit welcher der Außenleiterring verbunden ist, ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise kann der Außenleiterring besonders einfach und sicher an dem Außenleitergrundkörper befestigt werden.According to the invention, at least one contact tab is designed as a holding tab to which the outer conductor ring is connected. In this way, the outer conductor ring can be attached particularly easily and securely to the outer conductor base body.
Sind Kontaktlaschen lediglich an den Außenleitergrundkörper angebunden, weisen diese federnde Eigenschaften auf. Die Haltelaschen können derart beschaffen sein, dass ihre Steifigkeit größer ist als die Steifigkeit der nicht angebundenen Kontaktlaschen.If contact tabs are only connected to the external conductor base body, they have resilient properties. The retaining tabs can be designed in such a way that their rigidity is greater than the stiffness of the unconnected contact tabs.
Ist der Außenleiterring an mehreren Laschen, insbesondere an zwei Laschen an dem Außenleitergrundkörper angebunden, weist dieser eine geringere Federfähigkeit auf als die Kontaktlaschen, die nicht an den Außenleiterring angebunden sind.If the outer conductor ring is connected to several tabs, in particular to two tabs, on the outer conductor base body, it has a lower spring capacity than the contact tabs that are not connected to the outer conductor ring.
Dabei ist es auch vorgesehen, dass in der Haltelasche eine federnde Kontaktlasche vorgesehen ist.It is also provided that a resilient contact tab is provided in the holding tab.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen sowie aus der Beschreibung unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren der Zeichnung.Advantageous refinements and further developments result from the further subclaims and from the description with reference to the figures in the drawing.
Es versteht sich, dass die voranstehend genannten und die nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verlassen.It is understood that the features mentioned above and those to be explained below can be used not only in the combination specified in each case, but also in other combinations or alone, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Außenleiterring keine Ausbuchtung oder Einbuchtung aufweist.In particular, it can be provided that the outer conductor ring has no bulge or indentation.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Außenleiterring eingerichtet, Kontaktlaschen vor mechanischen Krafteinflüssen zu schützen. Dies ist erforderlich, wenn ein Steckverbinder auch aus einer schrägen Richtung steckbar sein soll oder in gestecktem Zustand Krafteinwirkungen aus einer schrägen Richtung ohne Beschädigung des Außenleiters standhalten soll. Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung kann dieser Schutz der Kontaktlaschen durch einen geschlossenen Eintritt des Außenleiters gewährleistet werden.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor ring is designed to protect contact tabs from mechanical force influences. This is necessary if a connector is to be able to be plugged in from an oblique direction or if it is to withstand forces from an oblique direction when plugged in without damaging the outer conductor. According to an embodiment of the present invention, this protection of the contact tabs be ensured by a closed entry of the external conductor.
Diese Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung löst somit das Problem, Steckkräfte zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Stabilität eines Steckverbinders zu erhöhen. Die Optimierung dieser beiden Eigenschaften ist allerdings in der Praxis gegenläufig, d.h. eine gewünschte Steigerung der Stabilität führt zu einer ungewünschten Steigerung der Steckkräfte und andersherum.This embodiment of the present invention thus solves the problem of reducing insertion forces and at the same time increasing the stability of a plug connector. However, the optimization of these two properties is in opposite directions in practice, i.e. a desired increase in stability leads to an undesirable increase in insertion forces and vice versa.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn eine Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Haltelasche in Umlaufrichtung des Außenleiterhalterings verläuft und/oder wenn die Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Haltelasche senkrecht zu der Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Kontaktlaschen verläuft.It is advantageous if a main direction of extension of the holding tab runs in the circumferential direction of the outer conductor holding ring and/or if the main direction of extension of the holding tab runs perpendicular to the main direction of extension of the contact tabs.
Besonders vorteilhaft an dem erfindungsgemäßen Steckverbinder ist, dass dieser auch durch ein Stanzverfahren samt der Durchmessersprünge fertigbar ist.What is particularly advantageous about the connector according to the invention is that it can also be manufactured using a stamping process including the jumps in diameter.
Wird ein erfindungsgemäßer Steckverbinder durch ein Stanzverfahren gefertigt, können Durchmessersprünge der Haltelaschen erzeugt werden.If a connector according to the invention is manufactured using a stamping process, jumps in diameter of the retaining tabs can be produced.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Außenleiterring mit dem Außenleitergrundkörper mittels eines Fügeverfahrens, z.B. mittels Schweißen, verbunden. Alternativ können der Außenleiterring und der Außenleitergrundkörper aus einem zusammenhängenden Teil gefertigt sein.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor ring is connected to the outer conductor base body by means of a joining process, for example by welding. Alternatively, the outer conductor ring and the outer conductor base body can be made from a coherent part.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Außenleitergrundkörper zwei Haltelaschen auf. Die Haltelaschen können gerade oder gebogen sein.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor base body has two retaining tabs. The retaining tabs can be straight or curved.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Außenleiterring einen Schutzkragen, welcher in radialer Richtung gegenüber freien Enden der Kontaktlaschen hervorsteht, auf, wobei der Schutzkragen eingerichtet ist, die Kontaktlaschen des Außenleitergrundkörpers vor mechanischen Krafteinwirkungen zu schützen. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Schutzkragen verhindert, dass die Kontaktlaschen durch eintretende Gegenstände, beispielsweise Werkzeuge, beschädigt werden. Der Schutzkragen kann in einer Ausführungsform als senkrechte Wandung, die von dem Außenleiterring absteht, ausgebildet sein oder als gebogene Lasche, welche die vorderen Enden der Kontaktlaschen verdeckt.According to a preferred embodiment, the outer conductor ring has a protective collar which protrudes in the radial direction relative to free ends of the contact tabs, the protective collar being designed to protect the contact tabs of the outer conductor base body from mechanical forces. It can be provided that the protective collar prevents the contact tabs from being damaged by incoming objects, such as tools. In one embodiment, the protective collar can be designed as a vertical wall that projects from the outer conductor ring or as a curved tab that covers the front ends of the contact tabs.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform weisen die Kontaktlaschen jeweils einen erhöhten Kontaktpunkt zur Kontaktierung eines Gegensteckverbinders auf. Somit erfahren die Kontaktlaschen in gestecktem Zustand eine Vorspannung, wodurch sich der Kontakt verbessert. Auf diese Weise wird die Schirmung des Steckverbinders verbessert. Um Steckkräfte zu reduzieren, ist es möglich, diese Kontaktpunkte in axialer Richtung versetzt anzuordnen.According to a further preferred embodiment, the contact tabs each have a raised contact point for contacting a mating connector. This means that the contact tabs are pre-tensioned when plugged in, which improves the contact. In this way, the shielding of the connector is improved. In order to reduce insertion forces, it is possible to arrange these contact points offset in the axial direction.
Gemäß einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind der Au-ßenleiterring und der Außenleitergrundkörper einteilig ausgebildet.According to a further preferred embodiment, the outer conductor ring and the outer conductor base body are formed in one piece.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Außenleitergrundkörper als Stanzteil ausgebildet. Stanzteile sind auf besonders kostengünstige Weise herstellbar. Insbesondere kann die Produktion von Stanzteilen hochautomatisiert erfolgen. Allerdings ist das Erzeugen von Durchmessersprüngen in Stanzverfahren für Steckverbinder mit einem geschlossenen Eintritt nur in Verbindung mit anderen mechanischen Nachteilen wie hohen Steckkräften oder niedrigen Kontaktkräften möglich.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the outer conductor base body is designed as a stamped part. Stamped parts can be produced in a particularly cost-effective manner. In particular, the production of stamped parts can be carried out in a highly automated manner. However, creating diameter jumps in stamping processes for plug connectors with a closed entry is only possible in conjunction with other mechanical disadvantages such as high insertion forces or low contact forces.
