Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a connector housing for an electrical plug connector, such as, but not limited to, a high-voltage plug connector for use in the automotive industry. The invention also relates to an electrical plug connector having such a connector housing and an electrical plug connection. Background Technology

[0002] In many applications of automotive engineering, conductive contact elements are electrically connected via detachable plugs to transmit current and signals. Current flow is achieved, in particular, through the contact surfaces or contact points where the contact elements come into contact with each other. For this purpose, the contact elements are typically positioned and mounted individually within a suitable connector housing. For example, a certain clearance is provided for this positioning and mounting to compensate for manufacturing-related dimensional tolerances when mounting the contact elements.

[0003] Under operating conditions subject to vibration, relative frictional movement may occur between the contact surfaces or contact points of the contact elements, leading to increased wear on the contact elements. This may negatively impact the operational behavior of the electrical plug connection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to improve the overall manufacturability and vibration resistance of electrical plug connectors and electrical plug connections.

[0005] This objective is achieved by a connector housing for an electrical plug connector, wherein the connector housing includes: at least one cable conduit for allowing a cable of a predetermined outer diameter to pass through in an insertion direction; and at least one oscillation suppressor pivotable about a pivot axis into the at least one cable conduit, wherein, in the pivoted state of the at least one oscillation suppressor, the at least one cable conduit has at least one net dimension in a cross section perpendicular to the insertion direction, the size of which is equal to or smaller than the predetermined outer diameter of the cable to be passed through.

[0006] Net dimensions, also known as internal dimensions or internal net dimensions, should be understood here as, for example, net width, net height, inner diameter, the narrowest internal dimension of a cable conduit, or the shortest distance between the two inner walls of a cable conduit.

[0007] Most importantly, the present invention has the following advantages: after cable assembly, i.e., after the cable has been passed through, additional vibration suppression can be established by at least one pivotable vibration suppressor. Specifically, in the pivoted state of at least one vibration suppressor, the cable passing through at least one cable conduit can be clamped, squeezed, pressed, or at least held in contact within at least one cable conduit due to the resulting net dimensions. In other words, the subsequent reduction in the cross-section of at least one cable conduit serves to secure the cable against vibration. At least one vibration suppressor can be implemented, for example, by a clamping device, a slider, a pressing element, and / or a cross-section adjuster. During cable assembly, i.e., when not in the pivoted state, at least one vibration suppressor does not impede the cable's passage through at least one cable conduit. The connector housing thus simplifies the manufacture of the electrical plug connector and contributes to increased vibration resistance of the electrical plug connector due to vibration suppression.

[0008] The invention can be further improved through the following embodiments, which are advantageous in themselves and can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the invention, at least one oscillation suppressor may be arranged on the outside of the connector housing and pivotable via a hinge. Thus, the hinge can preferably hold at least one oscillation suppressor to the connector housing and simultaneously define a pivot axis. For example, the pivot axis may extend perpendicular to the insertion direction. Depending on the required space and accessibility of the connector housing, the pivot axis may also have other extensions, such as being at an angle to or parallel to the insertion direction.

[0010] Depending on the required pivoting cycle and expected production costs, hinges can be designed as pivot hinges, snap hinges, or one-piece hinges.

[0011] According to another embodiment of the invention, at least one oscillation suppressor includes at least one protrusion extending into at least one cable conduit in a pivoted state. The at least one protrusion preferably extends into the at least one cable conduit perpendicular to the insertion direction. The at least one protrusion therein represents a measure for influencing the net dimensions of the at least one cable conduit, which can be easily implemented. This results in a simple structure for the connector housing.

[0012] According to one possible embodiment, at least one protrusion may be wedge-shaped, wherein when at least one oscillation suppressor is in a pivoted state, the wedge shape preferably points towards at least one cable conduit. In other words, at least one protrusion has a wedge-shaped profile that gradually tapers along the pivoting direction of at least one oscillation suppressor, i.e., along the circumferential direction of the pivoting axis. The wedge-shaped profile may be straight or curved. Therefore, a continuous, stepless reduction in net size can be achieved when at least one oscillation suppressor pivots. Furthermore, the amount of force required to pivot at least one oscillation suppressor is smaller, thereby simplifying the assembly of the electrical plug connector.

[0013] Alternatively, at least one protrusion may be configured as a preferably resilient leg that is deflected and aligned by the inner wall of the cable conduit when at least one oscillation suppressor pivots. In particular, this can thus generate a force perpendicular to the insertion direction, which increases the clamping, squeezing, pressing, or holding force of at least one oscillation suppressor.

[0014] At least one oscillation suppressor may optionally include two protrusions configured as resilient legs, arranged such that a U-shaped profile appears in the cross-section of the at least one oscillation suppressor perpendicular to the insertion direction. For example, the two protrusions configured as resilient legs extend parallel to each other and are spaced apart at a distance equal to or less than a predetermined outer diameter of the cable to be passed through. In the pivoted state of the at least one oscillation suppressor, the protrusions configured as resilient legs extend perpendicular to the insertion direction, thereby clamping the cable to be passed between the protrusions configured as resilient legs.

[0015] According to another embodiment, at least one protrusion is disposed on the arm of at least one oscillation suppressor. The arm may be, for example, a lever connecting at least one oscillation suppressor to a hinge. The lever action can then be utilized, and the manipulation of the connector housing can be simplified. To prevent slippage when manipulating the connector housing, the arm may include at least one corrugated surface.

[0016] To pre-position the cable to be passed through, the connector housing may include at least one notch disposed on the inner wall of at least one cable conduit and serving as either a cable seat or a cable support. Specifically, the at least one notch may extend parallel to the insertion direction and, in a pivoted state, be at least partially positioned opposite at least one protrusion of the at least one oscillation suppressor relative to the at least one cable conduit perpendicular to the insertion direction. Thus, the cable to be passed through can also be secured to the at least one notch from multiple directions, with only one reduction in net dimension in one direction. More precisely, for clamping and securing purposes, the cable to be passed through can be pressed into the at least one notch in a form-fitting manner from one direction by the at least one protrusion of the at least one oscillation suppressor, thereby restricting the cable's freedom of movement in other directions as well.

[0017] The connector housing may also include at least one contact chamber for preferably latching an electrical contact element along the insertion direction, wherein at least one cable conduit leads to at least one contact chamber.

[0018] According to another embodiment of the invention, the connector housing may have at least two cable conduits extending in parallel. The cable conduits are preferably separated from each other at least partially by at least one partition wall, wherein at least one notch is provided on at least one partition wall. Preferably, each cable conduit is provided with a notch, serving as either a cable seat or a cable support.

[0019] The applicability of this invention can be extended by adding cable conduits. For example, each core of a two-core or multi-core cable can pass through a separate cable conduit. Then, at least one partition wall ensures that the necessary air and creepage distances are maintained.

[0020] In another embodiment, at least one oscillation suppressor may include at least one latching element for latching in a pre-pivot position and / or a pivoted state. Specifically, at least one latching element may latch onto the outer edge of the connector housing. Assembly of the connector housing can be simplified by using at least one latching element because the precisely defined location of at least one oscillation suppressor is distinguishable for pre-assembly (i.e., pre-pivot position) and final assembly (i.e., pivoted state). Furthermore, the noise development associated with latching can be used for acoustic component verification.

[0021] The basic objective can also be achieved by an electrical plug connector comprising a connector housing, at least one cable having a predetermined inherent frequency, and at least one electrical contact element disposed at the end of the at least one cable. The at least one electrical contact element can be crimped, screwed, welded, brazed, or attached to the at least one cable, for example, using comparable technical means. The connector housing is constructed according to one of the above embodiments, wherein at least one oscillation suppressor contacts at least one cable in a pivoted state. In particular, the inner surface of the at least one oscillation suppressor, i.e., the surface facing inward relative to at least one cable conduit, can contact the cable insulation and / or the conductor of at least one cable. The at least one cable can optionally be pressed between the inner surface of the oscillation suppressor in an oscillating state and the inner wall or partition wall of the at least one cable conduit.

[0022] The electrical plug connector according to the invention is advantageous because, after the cable is installed, at least one degree of freedom of movement of the cable can be limited by at least one vibration suppressor. As a result, the sensitivity of at least one cable and the associated at least one electrical contact element connected thereto to vibration-induced motion is reduced. Consequently, the electrical plug connector according to the invention can be endowed with higher vibration resistance.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, with at least one oscillation suppressor in a pivoted state, the natural frequency of at least one cable can be higher than a predetermined natural frequency of at least one cable. By increasing the natural frequency, the occurrence of natural oscillations of at least one cable and at least one electrical contact element connected thereto is selectively shifted to a higher frequency level, wherein this frequency level is preferably outside the frequency range of vibrations that are expected or typical for the application.

[0024] To secure at least one oscillation suppressor in a pivoted position, at least one outer surface of the oscillation suppressor, i.e., the outward-facing surface relative to at least one cable conduit, can be press-fitted, friction-engaged, and / or form-fitted with the inner wall or partition wall of at least one cable conduit. Specifically, in a cross-section of the connector housing perpendicular to the insertion direction, the dimension of the outer profile of at least one oscillation suppressor can be equal to or greater than the inner profile of at least one cable conduit. Adhesive bonding of at least one oscillation suppressor in a pivoted position is also possible, for example, if it is assumed to be permanently pivoted.

[0025] Alternatively, the electrical plug connector according to the invention may also include a locking device for holding at least one oscillation suppressor in a pivoted state. The locking device prevents at least one oscillation suppressor from being accidentally released, for example due to vibration or other external influences.

[0026] The locking device can preferably at least partially or completely surround the connector housing of the electrical plug connector. For example, a shielding sleeve can be used as a locking device and simultaneously to shield the electrical plug connector from electromagnetic radiation. By functionally integrating the locking function into the shielding sleeve, the number of required parts is reduced, thereby improving the manufacturability of the electrical plug connector.

[0027] At least one vibration suppressor may optionally include at least one positioning element, on which the locking device at least partially abuts. Specifically, the at least one positioning element may be disposed on the cover surface of the at least one vibration suppressor, i.e., on the surface accessible from the outside relative to at least one cable conduit, and may be shaped, for example, as a shoulder. The locking device may optionally abut against the at least one positioning element shaped as a shoulder, and thus lock in the axial direction, i.e., against forces acting in the insertion direction.

[0028] The electrical plug connector according to the above embodiments and the electrical plug connection having a mating connector complementary to the electrical plug connector both satisfy the above-described basic objectives. The mating connector includes mating contacts for each electrical contact element of the electrical plug connector. The advantages described above result in improved vibration resistance and improved wear performance of the electrical plug connection, particularly due to at least one vibration suppressor.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in more detail using several embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the above description, different features of the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other. Attached Figure Description

[0037] First, refer to Figure 1 A schematic structure of the connector housing 1 according to the present invention will be described below. Hereafter, reference will be made to... Figures 2 to 6 A schematic structure of the electrical plug connector 2 according to the present invention will be described. Finally, reference will be made to... Figure 7 A brief description of the electrical plug connection 4 according to the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the connector housing 1 according to the invention can be constructed having two parts. One part 6 of the connector housing 1 is formed as an elongated hollow portion 8. At least one cable conduit 10 (e.g., two cable conduits 10a, 10b) can pass through the hollow portion 8 in the insertion direction 12. The two cable conduits 10a, 10b are each partially separated from each other by a partition wall 14. The other part 16 of the connector housing 1 can be an oscillation suppressor 18, similarly as... Figure 1 As shown, it can pivot about the pivot axis 20 into two cable conduits 10a and 10b.

[0039] Only Figures 1 to 3 The diagram illustrates, by way of example, that the pivot axis 20 is aligned perpendicular to the insertion direction 12. The pivot axis 20 may also be parallel to the insertion direction 12 or extend at an angle to it.

[0040] The oscillation suppressor 18 is preferably kept pivotable by a hinge 22 on the outer side 24 of the hollow portion 8. The hinge 22 may include at least one pin 26 and at least one hole 28 engaging around the pin 26. For reasons of symmetry, two or an even number of pins 26 and two or an even number of holes 28 may be provided. Figure 1 The hole 28 of the hinge 22 is shown partially open. Alternatively, the hole 28, or at least one hole 28, may be closed in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the hole 28 may be arranged, for example, on the hollow portion 8. The pin 26 is correspondingly provided on the oscillation suppressor 18. Of course, this arrangement may also be reversed or mixed.

[0041] Alternatively, the oscillation suppressor 18 may also be attached to the outer side 24 of the hollow portion 8 via an integral hinge (not shown) or a snap-fit ​​hinge (not shown). In particular, the hollow portion 8 and the oscillation suppressor 18 may be manufactured as an integral part.

[0042] exist Figures 1 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the connector housing 1 includes only one oscillation suppressor 18. Depending on the number and location of the cables 30 passing through the connector housing 1, two or more oscillation suppressors may also be provided. In this case, the oscillation suppressors can be arranged on the connector housing 1 at uniform or non-uniform intervals offset in length. The offset can also be achieved at uniform or non-uniform angular intervals.

[0043] Oscillation suppressor 18 can have Figure 1 The shape shown. Specifically, the oscillation suppressor 18 can be configured as a clamping device 32 including two leg-shaped protrusions 34. The leg-shaped protrusions 34 extend parallel to each other and extend along the pivot direction 36. Each leg-shaped protrusion 34 can be configured to have a wedge shape, particularly a wedge profile 38. Figure 5 As shown, the wedge profile 38 can bend and gradually taper along the pivot direction 36, i.e., at a point perpendicular to the insertion direction 12. A straight wedge profile is also advantageous.

[0044] The oscillation suppressor 18 may also include an arm 40 configured to resemble a lever 42 and connecting a leg-shaped protrusion 34 to a hinge 22.

[0045] Similarly, Figure 1 As shown, the oscillation suppressor 18 may include at least one, preferably a plurality of, latching elements 44. The latching elements 44 may protrude from the oscillation suppressor 18 in the form of engaging tabs 46a, 46b, more precisely on the leg-shaped protrusions 34 and / or on the arms 40 of the oscillation suppressor 18.

[0046] Specifically, the engaging tab 46a on the leg-shaped protrusion 34 can engage with the outer edge 48 of the hollow portion 8, i.e., establish a latching connection 50, so that the oscillation suppressor 18 can be latched in the pre-pivot position 52, as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0047] The engaging tab 46b on arm 40 can be used to latch the oscillation suppressor 18 in the pivoted state 54. This is in Figure 3 As shown in the image.

[0048] At least one partition wall 14 may include a notch 56, which extends, for example, on two opposing sides 58 of the at least one partition wall 14 parallel to the insertion direction 12. This is in Figure 1 As shown in the image.

[0049] exist Figure 2 As can be seen, the hollow portion 8 also includes contact chambers 60, each for accommodating an electrical contact element 62. The contact chambers 60 are located at the axial end 64 of the hollow portion 8. Each cable conduit 10 leads to one contact chamber 60. Figure 2 As further shown, the connector housing 1 can be part of the electrical connector 2, wherein an electrical contact element 62 is latched in each contact chamber 60 by a latching spade 66. The corresponding electrical contact element 62 is crimped, for example, onto one end 70 of the cable 30 at a fastener 68. Alternatively, the contact element 62 and the cable 30 can also be joined by screwing, welding, or brazing.

[0050] Cable 30 preferably passes through the associated cable conduit 10, through the notch 56, and to the corresponding contact chamber 60. In other words, cable 30 may extend through the associated cable conduit 10 at least partially parallel to the notch 56.

[0051] When the oscillation suppressor 18 is in Figure 2 At the pre-pivot position 52, the corresponding cable 30 is arranged in a free-floating manner within the associated cable conduit 10. The corresponding cable 30 has a predetermined natural frequency corresponding to the free-floating length 74. This is achieved by using the oscillation suppressor 18... Figure 3 Pivoting to the pivot position 54, the cable 30 is held between a leg-shaped protrusion 34 and at least one partition wall 14 in a cross-section 76 of the connector housing 1 perpendicular to the insertion direction 12. More specifically, the corresponding cable 30 is held between the inner surface 78 (i.e., the surface facing inward relative to the cable conduit 10) of the corresponding leg-shaped protrusion 34 and at least one partition wall 14. Thus, the cable 30 is also pressed into the corresponding recess 56. During inspection... Figure 4 and 5 These states can be understood at this time. The wedge-shaped profile 38 of the leg-like protrusions 34 extending into the cable conduit 10 causes the net width 80 of the corresponding cable conduit 10 to decrease continuously and steplessly. The net width 80 is reduced to be equal to or less than the outer diameter 82 of the cable 30 passing through the cable conduit 10.

[0052] Alternatively or additionally, the net height, inner diameter, narrowest internal dimension, or shortest distance between the two inner walls 96 of the corresponding cable conduit 10 may also be reduced by the oscillation suppressor 18.

[0053] from Figure 3 It can be seen that the length 84 of the free-floating portion 86 of cable 30 is shortened by clamping it with oscillation suppressor 18. As a result, cable 30 is restricted in its degrees of freedom of movement. Cable 30 now has a modified, preferably higher, natural frequency. In particular, the sensitivity of cable 10 and the electrical contact elements 62 attached to it to oscillations or vibrations is reduced.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, in particular, the cable insulation 88 of each cable 10 is held in a pivoted state 54 of the oscillation suppressor 18. If both the hollow portion 8 and the oscillation suppressor 18 are made of non-conductive material, the electrical conductor 90 of the corresponding cable 10 can also be held directly.

[0055] exist Figure 5 It can also be seen that the oscillation suppressor 18 can be locked in the pivot state 54 by at least one press-fit connection 92. More specifically, at least one outer surface 94 preferably has two oppositely arranged outer surfaces 94a, 94b facing away from each other, each of which can establish a press-fit connection 92 with the inner walls 96a, 96b of the hollow portion 8. For this purpose, the size of the gap 98 between the outer surfaces 94a, 94b can be equal to or greater than the gap 100 between the inner walls 96a, 96b. Alternatively, this can also be a friction fit or a form fit connection.

[0056] Figure 6 A partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the electrical plug connector 2 according to the invention is shown. As can be seen from this cross-sectional view, the hollow portion 8 and the oscillation suppressor 18 can be at least partially or completely surrounded by the locking device 102, wherein, in addition to or alternatively to the latching element 44 and / or the aforementioned press-fit connection 92, the locking device 102 holds the oscillation suppressor 18 in a pivoted state 54. In particular, the shielding sleeve 104 for shielding electromagnetic radiation can be used as the locking device 102.

[0057] To apply the locking device 102, the hollow portion 8 and / or the vibration suppressor 18 may include at least one positioning element 106 disposed on the cover surface 108 of the hollow portion 8 and / or the vibration suppressor 18 and forming a shoulder 110. In the exemplary embodiment shown, at least one positioning element 106 is implemented by a recess 112 forming the shoulder 110 on the cover surface 108 of the vibration suppressor 18. The locking device 102 may abut against the at least one positioning element 106 formed as the shoulder 110 to secure the locking device 102 in the axial direction. In other words, a segment 114 of the locking device 102 may extend perpendicularly to the insertion direction 12 into the recess 112, thereby establishing a form-fit connection 116 that allows forces acting in the insertion direction 12 to be absorbed.

[0058] exist Figure 7 The diagram illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an electrical plug connection 4 according to the present invention. The electrical plug connection 4 includes an electrical plug connector 2, which is constructed, for example, according to the embodiment described above. Furthermore, the electrical plug connection 4 includes a mating connector 118 configured to complement the electrical plug connector 2 and providing mating contacts 120 therein for each electrical contact element 62 of the electrical plug connector 2. The mating connector 118 may also include an oscillation suppressor 18' configured as a slider 122. The slider 122 is introduced into the connector housing 1' of the mating connector 118 by a translational sliding motion rather than a pivoting motion. In an alternative embodiment, the oscillation suppressor 18 may also be configured as a pressing element or a cross-section adjuster.
