Description

Description
Plug-in line connector The present invention relates to a plug-in line connector, especially to a plug-in line connect-or which comprises an error proofing design to avoid wrong snap in of a retaining device.
In many automotive, household appliance and machine tool applications, fluid conduits or tubes that carry pressurized fluids must be connected together. This can be achieved by plug-in line connectors.
A plug-in line connector is disclosed in EP 1106 962 A2. Therein, a plug-in line connector is disclosed which comprises a first connector part and a second connector part, which define a continuous line channel when the connector parts are assembled, a retaining device which is used to hold the connector parts in the assembled state, and a sealing device for sealing the connector parts connected to each other from the outside in the assembled state. The seal-ing device is magnetic and the plug-in line connector further comprises a sensor to sense a progress of magnetic flux lines. From the progress from the magnetic flux lines conclusions can be drawn if the assembled state is the correct assembled state of the connector parts.
:.5 It is an object of the present invention to provide a plug-in line connector in which a wrong snap in of the retaining device can be avoided.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plug-in line connector is provided, which comprises a first connector part and a second connector part, which define a con-tinous line channel when the connector parts are assembled, and a retaining device which is used to hold the connector parts in the assembled state. The plug-in line connector compris- * es an error proofing element for ensuring that the retaining device is arranged in its correct holding position for holding the connector parts in the assembled state.
For example air conditioning systems in motor vehicles, but also other systems, have fluid lines, which connect different components of the system to each other. Such fluid lines must remain leakproof for a long period of time. This condition also applies, in particular, to their connections, for example plug-in line connectors. Therefore, it has to be ensured, that the connector parts of the plug-in line connector are correctly assembled, in particular, that the assembled state is the correct assembled state of the connector parts, avoiding wrong as-sembly of the connector parts under particular circumstances.
Usually the Sound when assembling the connector parts together is used to recognize a cor- rect snap in maneuver for the two connector parts. However, during the production of a mo-tor vehicle in a plant it is often not possible to hear any sound, and, therefore, not possible to use the sound when assembling the connector parts together to recognize a correct snap in maneuver for the two connector parts. On the other hand, for component systems, which are to be mounted in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle, which is the case for example for air conditioning systems and their components, the accessibility to the individual connec-tion points is usually extremely restricted. There is often no access to the connection points for screwdrivers and other similar tools. Also, other special to&s for establishing fluid con-nections can rarely be inserted into such places.
Therefore, there is a need to have a specific feature to avoid wrong assembly of the con-nector parts. According to the present invention an error proofing element is provided for ensuring that the retaining device is arranged in its correct holding position for holding the connector parts in the assembled state. Therein, correct holding position of the retaining de-vice denotes a position of the retaining device in which the retaining device is snapped in a corresponding groove. If the retaining device is not snapped in the corresponding groove, * * retaining cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the present invention has the advantage that a plug-in line connector is provided in which a wrong snap in of the retaining device can be * avoided. This leads to secure hoses connections through the plug-in connector, because * leakage and detached hoses can be avoided. Therefore, engine replacement due to a lack of fluid, for example cooling fluid of an air conditioning system can be avoided, what leads to reduced engine replacement service costs.
According to one embodiment, the error proofing element comprises a groove provided in the first connector part and notch provided in the second connector part. Therein, in the con- tinuous line channel the notch is positioned in the groove and the notch is designed to en- sure that the retaining device is arranged in its correct holding position for holding the con-nector parts in the assembled state by blocking a movement of the retaining device towards its correct holding position until the connector parts are assembled. in the assembled state.
Thus tightness of the error proofing element, which is provided in both the first and second connector parts and, therefore in the male and female part of the connector, and which can be as cost-effective as possible, results in a simple assembly and a long-term stable connec- tion, for ensuring that the retaining device is arranged in its correct holding position for hold-ing the connector parts in the assembled state.
Further, the retaining device can be a snap ring which is arranged in an annular groove on a surface of the first connector part. In removably securing assembled machine parts, such as hoses positioned in a housing for locking the hoses against relative axial movement, hereto-fore, it has been customary to employ an open locking or retaining ring, in particular a snap ring, which may be removably inserted in a groove provided on a surface of a plug-in line connector connecting the hoses, or on one of the hoses, thereby preventing relative axial movement of the hoses. Thus, a common and familiar element can be used as the retaining device, which can, therefore, be very cost-effective.
Therein, the snap ring can comprise an arcuate body formed with a first and a second lug projecting axially therefrom, wherein the first lug has a radially outwardly betided shape and the second lug has a straight shape. Further, the notch can be designed to ensure that the retaining device is arranged in its correct holding position for holding the connector parts in the assembled state by blocking a movement of the first lug until the connector parts are assembled in the assembled state. By forming the first lug of the snap ring which is blocked : * 25 by and, therefore, in contact with the notch in a radially outwardly bended shape, the result-ing axial force and, therefore, the influence of unfavorable environmental conditions, such as * vibrations, can be minimized. * *
S.....
* The shape of the first lug preferably corresponds to shape of the surface of the first connect-or part, thus the connector part on which the snap ring is provided, thereby further minimizing * . the resulting axial force.
The plug-in connector may further comprise a sealing device for sealing the connector parts connected to each other from the outside in the assembled state, thereby further preventing leakage through the coupling, in particular the plug-in line connector.
Therein, the seating device can be an 0-ring, which is compressed in a sealed mode.
Additional advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 shows a schematic block diagram illustrating a plug-En line connector at the beginning of the assembly of parts of the connector according to embodiments of the present invention; Figure 2 shows a schematic block diagram illustrating the plug-in line connector of fig-ure 1 at the middle of the assembly according to embodiments of the present invention; Figure 3 shows a schematic block diagram illustrating the plug-in lin! connector of fig-ure 1 immediately prior to achieving the fully assembled position according to embodiments of the present invention.
Figure 1 shows a schematic block diagram illustrating a plug-in line connector 1 at the be-ginning of the assembly of parts of the connector 1 according to embodiments of the present invention.
According to figure 1, the plug-in line connector I comprises a first connector part 2 and a ** ** second connector part 3, which define a continuous line channel when the connector parts 2, 3 are assembled and a retaining device 4 which is used to hold the connector parts 2, 3 in *fl...
* * the assembled state.
For example air conditioning systems in motor vehicles, but also other systems, have fluid * lines, which connect different components of the system to each other. Such fluid lines must remain leakproof for a long period of time. This condition also applies, in particular, to their ". : connections, for example the plug-in line connector 1. Therefore, it has to be ensured, that * ° the connector parts 2, 3 of the plug-in line connector 1 are correctly assembled, in particular, that the assembled state. is the correct assembled state of the connector parts 2, 3.
Usually the sound when assembling the connector parts 2, 3 together is used to recognize a correct snap in maneuver for the two connector parts 2, 3. However, during the production of a motor vehicle in a plant it is often not possible to hear any sound, and, therefore, not pos-sible to use the sound when assembling the connector parts 2, 3 together to recognize a correct snap in maneuver for the two connector parts 2, 3. On the other hand, for component systems, which are to be mounted in the engine compartment of a motor vehicle, which is the case for example for air conditioning systems and their components, the accessibility to the individual connection points is usually extremely restricted. There is often no access to the connection points for screwdrivers and other similar tools. Also, other special tools for establishing fluid connections can rarely be inserted into such places. Therefore, there is a need to have a specific feature to avoid wrong assembly of the connector parts 2, 3 of the plug-in line connector 1.
According to figure 1, the plug-in line connector 1 further comprises an error proofing ele-ment 5 for ensuring that the retaining device 4 is arranged in its correct holding position for holding the connector parts 2, 3 in the assembled state.
According to the embodiments shown in figure 1, the error proofing element 5 comprises a groove 6 provided in the first connector part 2 and a notch 7 provided in the second connect-or part 3. Therein, in the continuous line channel, the notch 7 is positioned in the groove 6.
Further, the notch 7 is designed to ensure that the retaining device 4 is arranged in its cor-rect holding position for holding the connector parts 2, 3 in the assembled state by blocking a movement of the retaining device 4 towards its correct holding position until the connector parts 2, 3 are assembled in the assembled state. Thus tightness of the error proofing ele- ment 5, which can be as cost-effective as possible, results in a simple assembly and a long-* *.*** * term stable connection, for ensuring that the retaining device 4 is arranged in its correct hold- * ing position for holding the connector parts 2, 3 in the assembled state.
*...fl * Further, the shown retaining device 4 is a snap ring 8 which is arranged in an annular groove 9onasurfacelOoftheflrstconnectorpart2. *. *
Therein, the snap ring 8 comprises an arcuate body 11 formed with a first 12 and a second lug 13 projecting axially therefrom 11. As can be seen, the first lug 12 has a radially outward- ly bended shape and the second lug 13 has a straight shape. Further, the notch 7 is de-signed to ensure that the retaining device 4 is arranged in its correct holding position for holding the connector parts 2, 3 in the assembled state by blocking a movement of the first lug 12 until the connector parts 2, 3 are assembled in the assembled state. By forming the first lug 12 of the snap ring 8 which is blocked by and, therefore, in contact with the notch 7 in a radially outwardly bended shape, the resulting axial force and, therefore, the influence of unfavorable environmental conditions, such as vibrations, can be minimized.
As can be seen in figure 1, the shape of the first lug 12, what means the radially outwardly bended shape of the first lug 12 corresponds to shape of the surface 10 of the first connector part 2.
There is further shown a sealing device 14 for sealing the connector parts 2, 3 connected to each other from the outside in the assembled state.
According to figure 1, the sealing device 14 comprises an 0-ring 15, which is installed in the first connector part 2, and a corresponding calibrated seat 16, which is installed in the sec-ond connector part 3.
Figure 2 shows at the schematic block diagram illustrating the plug-in line connector 1 of figure 1 at the middle of the assembly according to embodiments of the present invention.
-
As can be seen in figure 2, the notch 7 provided on the second connector part 3 is positioned in the groove 6 provided in the first connector part 2. According to the embodiments of figure 2 the groove 6 and the notch 7 together form the error proofing element 5 for ensuring that the retaining device 4 is arranged in its correct holding position for holding the connector ::!25 parts 2, 3 in the assembled state. In particular, as can be seen in figure 2, the notch 7 is de-signed to ensure that the retaining device 4 is arranged in its correct holding position for holding the connector parts 2, 3 in the assembled state by blocking a movement of the first * lug 12 of the retaining device 4, whereby the retaining device 4 is a snap ring 8 in the shown embodiments. Therefore, a movement of the retaining device 4 towards its correct holding * *. 30 position is blocked until the connector parts 2, 3 are assembled in the assembled state and, therefore, a wrong snap in of the retaining device 4.
Figure 3 shows at a schematic block diagram illustrating the plug-in line connector 1 of figure 1 prior to achieving the following assembled position according to embodiments of the pre-sent invention.
As can be seen, the connector parts 2, 3 now are assembled in the assembled state. There-fore, a movement of the first lug 12 of the retaining device 4, in particular the snap ring 8, is not anymore blocked by of the notch 7. Thus1 a movement of the retaining device 4 towards its correct holding position is permitted and, therefore, the retaining device 4 can be arranged in its correct holding position. Thereby, wrong assembly of the connector parts 2, 3 of the plug-in line connector 1 can be avoided.
