Description

Beschreibungdescription
Stecksystem, insbesondere für mechatronische Getriebe- oder MotorSteuerungenPlug-in system, in particular for mechatronic transmission or motor control
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Stecksystem zum Ver¬ binden eines Steuergerätes mit diversen elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Komponenten, insbesondere für mechatronische Getriebe- oder Motorsteuerungen eines Kraftfahrzeuges, wobei eine jede Komponente über ein Kabel mit dem Steuergerät ver¬ bunden ist und wobei am Kabelende ein geeigneter Gegenstecker für die Komponente angeordnet ist.The present invention relates to a plug-in system for Ver¬ binding a control unit with various electrical and / or electronic components, in particular for mechatronic transmission or engine controls of a motor vehicle, each component via a cable to the control unit ver ¬ is connected and wherein the cable end a suitable mating connector for the component is arranged.
Automatikgetriebe für Personenkraftfahrzeuge (PKW) , aber auch Verbrennungskraftmaschinen (Motoren) oder Bremssysteme etc., werden zunehmend vornehmlich elektronisch gesteuert. Während dafür bisher sog. „stand-alone"-Steuergeräte zum Verbau in einen vor Umwelteinflüssen schützenden Elektronikraum (E-Box) oder in den Passagierraum vorgesehen waren, setzt sich der Trend zu sog. mechatronischen Steuerungen, also zur Integra¬ tion von Steuerelektronik und der zugehörigen Sensorik in das Getriebe, den Motor, das Bremssystem oder dergleichen weiter fort. Ähnliche Trends für „Vorortelektronik" gibt es auch in anderen Bereichen außerhalb der Kraftfahrzeugtechnik wie der Luft- und Raumfahrtechnik, der Schiffstechnik, etc.Automatic transmissions for passenger cars (PKW), but also internal combustion engines (engines) or brake systems, etc., are increasingly predominantly controlled electronically. While hitherto so-called "stand-alone" control devices were intended for installation in an electronics compartment (E-box) protecting against environmental influences or in the passenger compartment, the trend is towards so-called mechatronic control systems, ie the integration of control electronics and control systems the related sensors in the transmission, the engine, the brake system, etc. Similar trends for "on-site electronics" are also in other areas outside of automotive technology such as aerospace engineering, ship technology, etc.
In einigen Anwendungen mechatronischer Steuerungen werden Stanzgitter zur Strom- und Signalverteilung eingesetzt. Diese Lösung zeigt jedoch deutliche Nachteile bezüglich der Punkte Abdichtung des Elektronikraumes, Spanschutz, Flexibilität und Toleranzausgleich gegenüber Kabelbäumen oder einer sog. Flex- technologie. Des Weiteren ist wegen Einhaltung von Mindest¬ querschnitten der Stanzgitter eine Entflechtung der Leiter- bahnen schwerer möglich als bei Flex-Leiterbahnen (Ausbildung sehr feiner Strukturen von Cu-Leiterbahnen) oder Kabelbäumen. Bei Änderungen sind zudem teuere Eingriffe in das Stanzwerk¬ zeug notwendig.In some mechatronic control applications, punched grids are used for power and signal distribution. However, this solution shows significant disadvantages in terms of sealing the electronics compartment, chip protection, flexibility and tolerance compensation with respect to wiring harnesses or a so-called flex technology. Furthermore, due to compliance with minimum ¬ the lead frame cross sections unbundling the wire tracks are more difficult than with flexible interconnects (formation of very fine structures of copper interconnects) or cable harnesses. In the event of changes, expensive interventions in the stamping tool are also necessary.
Es ist auch bekannt, mehrere Leitungskabel vorzusehen, welche als ein Büschel (Kabelbaum) Signale und Ströme zwischen einer Steuerelektronik und diverser elektrischer und/oder elektro¬ nischer Komponenten (insb. Sensoren, Ventile, etc. ...) über- tragen.It is also known to provide a plurality of line cables which, as a tuft (cable harness), transmit signals and currents between control electronics and various electrical and / or electronic components (esp. Sensors, valves, etc.).
Mit anderen Worten werden zu kontaktierenden Komponenten wei¬ tere und aufwendigere Stromführungswege bei nicht kompakter Bauweise durch einfache Verkabelung kontaktiert. Die Kontak- tierung selbst erfolgt über einen am Kabelende angeordneten Gegenstecker, welcher mit einem Steckplatz der Komponente korrespondiert. Falls mehrere Komponenten auf einen Haupt¬ strang zusammengeführt worden sind, entstehen Kabelbüschel mit endseitig am einzelnen Kabel angeordneten Gegensteckern. Ein solches Stecksystem hat insbesondere zum Nachteil, dass ein jeder Komponenten-Gegenstecker am Kabelbüschel einzeln bei der Montage auf den jeweiligen Steckplatz der Komponente gesteckt werden muss.In other words wei¬ tere and more complex Stromführungswege be contacted in a non-compact design by simple wiring to be contacted components. The contact itself takes place via a mating connector arranged at the cable end, which corresponds to a slot of the component. If several components have been brought together on a main ¬ strand, resulting cable tufts with end-to-end on the individual cable mating connectors. Such a plug-in system has, in particular, the disadvantage that each component mating plug on the cable tuft must be inserted individually during assembly onto the respective slot of the component.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufga¬ be zugrunde, ein gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessertes Stecksystem bereitzustellen.Proceeding from this, the present invention is based on the task of providing a plug-in system which is improved over the prior art.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des un- abhängigen Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestal¬ tungen und Weiterbildungen, welche einzeln oder in Kombinati¬ on miteinander eingesetzt werden können, sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche. Die Erfindung baut auf gattungsgemäßen Stecksystemen zum Ver¬ binden eines Steuergerätes mit diversen elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Komponenten dadurch auf, dass ein jeder Gegen- Stecker in einen Kabelkanal schwimmend - also mit Spiel in allen drei Raumachsen - eingebettet ist. Dadurch werden die Gegenstecker in vorteilhafter Weise gegenüber den Komponenten vorpositioniert, ohne das benötigte Ausgleichsspiel in allen drei Raumachsen zu verlieren. Die Montage gelingt gleichsam zuverlässig jedoch in deutlich verkürzter Zeit.This object is achieved by the features of independent patent claim 1. Advantageous Ausgestal ¬ lines and developments, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims. The invention is based on generic plug-in systems for connecting a control unit with various electrical and / or electronic components in that each mating plug is floating in a cable channel - ie with play in all three spatial axes - embedded. As a result, the mating connectors are advantageously pre-positioned with respect to the components without losing the necessary compensation clearance in all three spatial axes. The installation succeeds as it reliably but in a much shorter time.
Bewährt haben sich Kabelkanäle, welche ein wannenförmiges Teil und eine dazu korrespondierende Abdeckung umfassen.Cable ducts which comprise a trough-shaped part and a cover corresponding thereto have proven useful.
Ebenfalls hat sich bewährt, im Kabelkanal - insbesondere im wannenförmigen Teil - Ausnehmungen vorzusehen, welche einen jeden Komponenten-Gegenstecker vorpositionieren.It has also proven useful to provide recesses in the cable duct, in particular in the trough-shaped part, which pre-position each component mating connector.
Um schließlich auch die verschiedenen Richtungen, in denen zu kontaktierende Komponenten gemeinhin verteilt sind, abdecken zu können, wird vorgeschlagen, den Kabelkanal vorzugsweise in mehrere Abschnitte zu untergliedern. Dadurch können die ver¬ schiedenen Raumachsen (Lage der Komponenten, Steckrichtung der Komponenten-Kontakte) deutlich einfacher berücksichtigt werden.Finally, in order to be able to cover the various directions in which components to be contacted are commonly distributed, it is proposed to subdivide the cable channel preferably into several sections. As a result, the different spatial axes (position of the components, plug-in direction of the component contacts) can be taken into account much more simply.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung erhält der Montagebewegungsab¬ lauf beim Aufstecken der Kontakte an die Komponenten einen höheren Freiheitsgrad. Des Weiteren kann durch die Unterglie- derung des Kabelbaums jeder Abschnitt fest montiert werden und die Toleranzen über die großen Distanzen durch die fle¬ xiblen Leitungen zwischen den Abschnitten in allen Richtungen abgefangen werden. Über den Kabelkanal können alle Komponen- ten-Gegenstecker zeitgleich und vor allem in nur einem Ar¬ beitsschritt an den Komponenten aufgesteckt werden, denn die Aufsteck- und Abzugskräfte werden durch den Kabelkanal aufge¬ nommen. Die „schwimmend" gelagerten Gegenstecker sind tole- ranzausgleichend bei der Kontaktierung der Komponenten und die flexiblen Kabel lassen diesen Toleranzausgleich (im Ge¬ gensatz zum z.B. aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten relativ starren Stanzgitterkontakt) im Kabelkanal zu. Dadurch ist keine so hohe und kostenintensive Maßgenauigkeit notwendig.With the present invention, the Montagebewegungsab ¬ run receives when attaching the contacts to the components a higher degree of freedom. Furthermore, by virtue of the substructure of the cable harness, each section can be fixedly mounted and the tolerances can be intercepted over the great distances through the flexible lines between the sections in all directions. Over the cable channel all components ten mating connector at the same time and above all in only one Ar¬ beitsschritt be attached to the components, because the Aufsteck- and withdrawal forces are taken up ¬ through the cable channel. The "floating" mounted mating connectors are tolerance-compensating when contacting the components, and the flexible cables allow this tolerance compensation (in contrast to the relatively rigid stamped grid contact known from the prior art, for example) in the cable channel Dimensional accuracy necessary.
Zusätzliche Einzelheiten und weitere Vorteile der Erfindung werden nachfolgend an Hand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbei¬ spieles in Verbindung mit der beigefügten Zeichnung beschrie¬ ben.Additional details and further advantages of the invention will be described below with reference to a preferred Ausführungsbei ¬ game in conjunction with the accompanying drawings ben.

Bei der nachfolgenden Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausfüh¬ rungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung bezeichnen gleiche Be¬ zugszeichen gleiche oder vergleichbare Komponenten. Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven ein Stecksystem zum Verbinden eines Steuergerätes (nicht darge¬ stellt) mit diversen elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Komponenten (nicht dargestellt) . Hierfür ist jeweils ein Ka¬ bel 10 vorgesehen, das an seinem Ende 11 einen Gegenstecker 12 aufweist. Mehrere Kabel 10 und Stecker 12 benachbarter und/oder in einer Raumachse angeordneter Komponenten sind in einem Kabelkanal 20 eingebettet. Hierfür sind im Kabelkanal 20 definierte Ausnehmungen 23 für die endseitig am Kabelbü¬ schel 10 angeordneten Komponenten-Gegenstecker 12 vorgesehen. Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Einbettung „schwimmend", also mit Spiel des/der Stecker/s 12 in allen drei Raumrichtungen. Mit anderen Worten sind die Ausnehmungen 23 derart dimensioniert, dass die Komponenten-Gegenstecker 12 lediglich eine Vorposi¬ tionierung erfahren. Um den Kabelkanal 20 samt Stecker 12 auf die Komponenten aufstecken zu können ist der Kabelkanal 20 vorzugsweise als Wanne 21 ausgebildet, welche - wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt - mittels eines Deckels 22 abdeckbar ist. Der De- ekel 22 ist mit der Wanne 21 derart beispielsweise über Rast¬ elemente (nicht dargestellt) verbindbar, dass der Deckel 22 die beim Steckvorgang auftretenden Kräfte sicher aufnimmt. Durch Abdeckung der Wanne 22 mit einem Deckel 22 liegt also ein leicht montierbares Bauteil mit definiert vorpositionier- ten Komponenten-Gegensteckern 12 vor.In the following description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the same reference numerals designate identical or comparable components. Figures 1 to 3 show from different perspectives, a plug system for connecting a control unit (not Darge ¬ represents) with various electrical and / or electronic components (not shown). For this purpose, a Ka ¬ bel 10 is provided in each case, which has a mating connector 12 at its end 11. Several cables 10 and connectors 12 of adjacent and / or arranged in a spatial axis components are embedded in a cable channel 20. For this purpose, 20 defined recesses 23 are provided for the ends of the Kabelbü ¬ Schel 10 arranged component mating connector 12 in the cable channel. According to the invention, the embedding takes place "floating", that is to say with play of the plug (s) 12 in all three spatial directions In other words, the recesses 23 are dimensioned such that the component mating plugs 12 only receive a pre-positioning The cable channel 20 is preferably designed as a trough 21, which can be covered by means of a cover 22, as shown in Fig. 4. The dekel 22 is with the trough 21 so for example via detent ¬ It is therefore possible to connect the cover 22 to the forces occurring during the plugging operation, thus covering the tub 22 with a lid 22 so as to provide an easily assembled component with defined prepositioned component mating plugs 12.
Wie die Figuren zeigen, ist der Kabelkanal 20 vorzugsweise in mehrere Abschnitte 20a, 20b, ... untergliedert. Dadurch können die verschiedenen Raumachsen (Lage der Komponenten, Steck- richtung der Komponenten-Kontakte) deutlich einfacher berück¬ sichtigt werden. Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung erhält der Montagebewegungsab¬ lauf beim Aufstecken der Kontakte 12 an die Komponenten einen höheren Freiheitsgrad. Des Weiteren kann durch die Unterglie¬ derung des Kabelbaums 10 jeder Abschnitt fest montiert werden und die Toleranzen über die großen Distanzen durch die fle¬ xiblen Leitungen 10 zwischen den Abschnitten in allen Rich¬ tungen abgefangen werden. Über den Kabelkanal 20 können alle Komponenten-Gegenstecker 12 zeitgleich und vor allem in nur einem Arbeitsschritt an den Komponenten aufgesteckt werden, denn die Aufsteck- und Abzugskräfte werden durch den Kabelka¬ nal 20 aufgenommen. Die „schwimmend" gelagerten Gegenstecker 12 sind toleranzausgleichend bei der Kontaktierung der Kompo¬ nenten und die flexiblen Kabel 10 lassen diesen Toleranzaus¬ gleich (im Gegensatz zum z.B. aus dem Stand der Technik be- kannten relativ starren Stanzgitterkontakt) im Kabelkanal 20 zu. Dadurch ist keine so hohe und kostenintensive Maßgenauig¬ keit notwendig.As the figures show, the cable duct 20 is preferably subdivided into a plurality of sections 20a, 20b,.... As a result, the different spatial axes (position of the components, plug-in direction of the component contacts) can be taken into account much more simply. With the present invention, the Montagebewegungsab ¬ run receives when mounting the contacts 12 to the components a higher degree of freedom. Furthermore, the can through the bottom 10 of each section Glienicke ¬ be fixedly mounted and the tolerances are intercepted obligations over the long distances through the fle¬ ble lines 10 between the sections in all Rich¬ alteration of the harness. About the cable channel 20 all component mating connector 12 can be attached at the same time and above all in only one step to the components, because the Aufsteck- and withdrawal forces are absorbed by the Kabelka ¬ channel 20. The "floating" mounted mating connector 12 are tolerance compensating when contacting the compo ¬ nents and the flexible cable 10 leave this Toleranzaus¬ equal (in contrast to, for example, from the prior art known relatively rigid punched grid contact) in the cable channel 20 no such high and costly Maßgenauig ¬ speed necessary.
Die vorliegende Erfindung eignet sich insbesondere für Steck- kontaktierungen mechatronischer Getriebe- oder Motorsteuerun¬ gen etc. eines Kraftfahrzeuges. The present invention is particularly suitable for plug-type contacts of mechatronic transmission or engine control systems etc. of a motor vehicle.
