Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an assembly of plug-in connector components. Furthermore, the present application also relates to such plug-in connector components and to electronic devices. BACKGROUND

[0002] The holding frame of such an assembly serves to modularly use and hold contact inserts on plug-in connector components. One or more contact inserts can be arranged on such a holding frame in order to be inserted together with the holding frame into a housing or a housing component of a plug-in connector component and to be connected with the housing or the housing component. In this way, the contact inserts can be combined with one another in a modular manner and arranged in or on the plug-in connector component by means of the holding frame.

[0003] Such contact inserts can have, for example, one or more electrical contacts. In this case, the contact inserts are connected on the one hand with electrical lines leading to the plug-in connector and on the other hand constitute plug-in contacts, by means of which the plug-in connector can be plugged into engagement with a mating plug-in connector component in order to make electrical contact.

[0004] Such modular contact inserts offer the advantage of flexible combinability and thus variable usability of the plug-in connector.

[0005] In the holding frame known from DE 10 2012 110 907 A1 it is provided that a second holding frame component can be mounted on a first holding frame component having recesses for receiving protruding elements of contact inserts in order to lock the protruding elements inserted in the recesses and thereby the contact inserts on the holding frame in this way.

[0006] In the securing insert for plug-in connectors known from DE 20 2005 007 221 U1, in order to secure, a mounting frame can be inserted into a receiving opening of a device housing, on which mounting frame contact inserts are provided. The mounting frame is at least partially made of an electrically conductive material in order to establish an electrically conductive connection of the contact inserts with the device housing. In the inserted state, the mounting frame is latched with the device housing by means of a plurality of latching elements.

[0007] Conventionally, holding frames for receiving modular contact inserts are usually screwed to the housing component into which the holding frame is to be inserted. This ensures a mechanically fixed, reliably holding connection, but requires a comparatively laborious assembly process, since in order to connect the holding frame with the corresponding housing component, the holding frame must first be inserted into the housing component and then screwed with the housing component by means of a mounting screw connection. SUMMARY

[0008] It is an object of the present application to provide an assembly, a plug connector part and an electronic device, wherein the connection of the holding frame to the housing part can be simplified.

[0009] According to the application, this object is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous designs and advantageous refinements of the application are given in the dependent claims.

[0010] The assembly according to the application has a holding frame which has a receiving space for receiving at least one contact insert and at least one flange section. Furthermore, the assembly has a housing part which has a receiving opening into which the holding frame can be inserted in an insertion direction and which has at least one support section which is configured in the receiving opening. Furthermore, at least one locking element is provided which is arranged on the holding frame, wherein the locking element engages in the insertion state with the housing part in order to lock the holding frame on the housing part. Furthermore, at least one spring element is provided which is arranged on the at least one flange section and which rests in the insertion state for making electrical contact between the holding frame and the housing part on the at least one support section and is transferred into a tensioned state.

[0011] According to the invention, in order to mechanically and electrically connect the holding frame to the housing part, at least one spring element is now provided and a threaded connection is no longer provided. The spring element is characterized by its elastic properties. The spring element is preferably composed of an electrically conductive material, for example metal. The at least one spring element is first tensioned before a true fixing, in particular a latching, of the holding frame on the housing part can take place by means of the locking element. This enables a direct latching of the holding frame on the housing part. When the holding frame is inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part, a form-fit connection between the holding frame and the housing part can be established by means of the locking element. Here, the locking element can be designed in such a way that a locking between the holding frame and the housing part is automatically established when the holding frame is inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part. However, it is also possible for the locking to take place not automatically but, for example, manually. By means of the locking element, in particular a form-fit engagement on the housing part, a secure, reliable connection between the holding frame and the housing part can be achieved, which can be easily detached by unlocking the locking element. The establishment of a threaded connection can thus be dispensed with, so that the connection between the holding frame and the housing part can be established in a simple manner. In order to connect the holding frame to the housing part, the holding frame is inserted into the receiving opening of the housing part in an insertion direction, so that the holding frame can be brought into abutment with one or more support sections of the housing part by means of at least one spring element arranged on at least one flange section. In the inserted state, the holding frame is thus placed on the one or more support sections, so that the holding frame (viewed axially in the insertion direction) can reach a defined position inside the housing part. The housing part can be composed of metal, so that the housing part can be, for example, a zinc or aluminum die cast. The housing part can also be composed only partially of metal and partially of a plastic material, wherein, in particular in the region of the at least one support section, a metal material is provided which, in the inserted state, is in electrical contact with the spring element arranged on the flange section of the holding frame, which is in abutment on the support section. By means of the tensioning of the spring element in this contact position with the support section, a reliable contact between the holding frame and the housing part can be established at any time, since relative movements between the housing part and the holding frame in the inserted state can be compensated by means of the spring element. Furthermore, by means of the at least one spring element, the mechanical locking of the holding frame on the housing part by means of the locking element can also be improved, since, by means of the tensioning force of the at least one spring element, the locking element can be particularly reliably engaged, in particular pressed, with the housing part. Preferably, the holding frame has two flange sections, wherein preferably two spring elements and one locking element are arranged on each flange section, wherein the housing part has four support sections, one of the four spring elements respectively bears in the inserted state on a support section.

[0012] The spring element preferably has a free end section which, in the relaxed state of the spring element, can extend at an angle of 10° ≤ α ≤ 40° with respect to the flange section of the holding frame. The free end section of the spring element can thus extend in the relaxed state and thus in the untensioned state in a bent manner with respect to the flange section on which the spring element is arranged or fixed. By means of this angled arrangement of the free end section of the spring element, the spring element can be tensioned when the holding frame is inserted into the housing part and thus when the spring element hits on the support section of the housing part. If the spring element hits with its free end section on the support section when the holding frame is inserted into the housing part, a pivoting movement of the free end section in the direction of the flange section is effected, whereby a tensioning in the spring element can be produced. The free end section of the spring element is preferably oriented parallel to the flange section of the holding frame in the tensioned state. The free end section can be configured in the form of a spring leaf or leg. The free end section can be attached on a fixed section of the spring element, wherein the spring element can be held and fixed by means of its fixed section on the flange section of the holding frame. The fixed section can be configured for example in the form of a U, so that the spring element can encircle the flange section of the holding frame by means of its fixed section. The free end section and the fixed section are preferably flatly configured.

[0013] The spring element can be configured in an S-shaped manner. The free end section can together with the fixed section form an S-shape. By means of the S-shape, a compact configuration of the spring element can be achieved while at the same time having good spring properties.

[0014] The spring element can be a stamped and bent part for example, whereby a cost-effective production of the spring element can be achieved. The spring element can be stamped from a metal sheet and bent into the desired shape in order to inter alia form the free end section and the fixed section.

[0015] Preferably, the spring element is composed of a spring-elastic, electrically conductive material.

[0016] The fixing of the spring element on the flange section can be achieved by means of a latching connection. For example, a latching tab or latching protrusion can be configured on the spring element, which can be inserted into a recess or opening configured on the flange section. The latching tab or latching protrusion can be configured on the fixed section of the spring element. By means of the latching connection, a simple assembly of the spring element on the holding frame can be achieved. Furthermore, the spring element can easily be detached and replaced.

[0017] Preferably, at least one recess is configured on the housing part, into which the locking element can at least partially engage in the inserted state. The locking element can be positively engaged into the recess in the form of at least one partial region of the locking element. The locking element can be automatically snapped into the recess of the housing part when the holding frame is inserted into the housing part in the insertion direction, whereby a snap connection between the holding frame and the housing part can be formed. The number of recesses on the housing part preferably corresponds to the number of locking elements, so that each locking element can be assigned a recess. The one or more recesses are preferably configured on one or both end face side walls of the housing part, wherein the recesses are configured on the inner face of the end face side walls which faces in the direction of the accommodation opening. These recesses can each be configured in the form of a basin.

[0018] The locking element is preferably designed in such a way that it can be disengaged again from the housing part in order to be able to release the locking of the holding frame to the housing part. This can preferably be achieved with the aid of a tool, for example a screwdriver. For this purpose, the locking element can have a tool accommodation region into which a tool can be engaged in order to transfer the locking element from the locking position into the unlocking position. The tool accommodation region is preferably configured centrally along the length of the locking element. The tool accommodation region can have a free space into which the tool can be engaged. The tool accommodation region can be configured in the form of a tab which is configured or shaped on the locking element.

[0019] The locking element can be configured in the form of a wire. The locking element can be formed by a round wire, in particular being bent. The locking element configured as a wire can have the shape of an arch.

[0020] Furthermore, the locking element can be formed from a metal sheet strip. The locking element then preferably has an at least partially planar configuration.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking element can be configured from a snap element which is movably supported and a lever, wherein the snap element can be transferred into the locking position and the unlocking position by means of the lever. In order to release the locking element from the snap position with the housing part, no longer the aid of a tool is required, since this can be carried out directly by means of the lever. The snap element is preferably movably supported transversely to the direction in which the holding frame is inserted into the housing part, in order to be able to engage and disengage the housing part. The lever is preferably pivotably supported, so that an axial or translational movement of the snap element is achieved when the lever is pivoted about a pivot axis.

[0022] The at least one locking element and the at least one spring element can be formed from separate components from one another. The locking element and the spring element can then be arranged and supported on the holding frame, in particular on the flange section of the holding frame, separately from one another. Preferably, two spring elements are assigned to each locking element, so that one locking element and two spring elements are arranged on each flange section of the holding frame, respectively.

[0023] Alternatively, it is also possible for the at least one locking element and the at least one spring element to be formed in one-piece components. The one-piece components can then preferably constitute one locking element and two spring elements, wherein the one-piece components can be arranged on the flange sections of the holding frame. Such one-piece components can be punched from a strip and bent, for example.

[0024] Preferably, the locking element is arranged between the two spring elements, respectively, not only when the locking element and the spring element are formed in one piece, but also when they are formed separately.

[0025] Furthermore, a solution according to the object of the application is achieved by means of a plug connector component of a plug connector having a construction and an improved assembly as described above and at least one contact insert which is inserted into a receiving space of the holding frame. The contact inserts can be modularly inserted into the holding frame, so that the contact inserts can be combined with one another in an arbitrary manner. The contact inserts can each have one or more contacts, so that by means of the combination of the contact inserts a plug-in face can be formed on which a corresponding mating plug connector component can be arranged in a corresponding manner in order to provide an electrical contact.

[0026] Furthermore, a solution according to the object of the application is achieved by means of an electronic device having at least one of the aforementioned, constructed and improved assemblies and / or at least one of the aforementioned, constructed and improved plug connector components.

[0042] Figure 1 Figure 3 Figure 7 ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The assembly 100 is shown in Figure 2 In the cross-sectional view along the line A-A shown in Figure 1 In the cross-sectional view along the line A-A shown in Figure 1 The housing part 110 is shown in

[0043] The housing part 110 has a receiving opening 112 into which the holding frame 111 can be inserted in an insertion direction E, so that in the inserted state, as it is shown for example in Figure 7 In the inserted state, the holding frame 111 is surrounded on the circumference by the housing part 110. The receiving opening 112 is defined by two opposite end face side walls 113, 114 and two opposite longitudinal side walls 115, 116. The end face side walls 113, 114 are arranged at right angles to the longitudinal side walls 115, 116.

[0044] Here, four support sections 117 are constructed within the receiving opening 112, on which the holding frame 111 rests in the inserted state. The four support sections 117 are constructed on the four corners of the receiving opening 112, so that each support section 117 is attached on one of the end face side walls 113, 114 and on one of the longitudinal side walls 115, 116 of the housing part 110. The support sections 117 are at least partially constructed from an electrically conductive material, such as metal, so that an electrical contact between the housing part 110 and the holding frame 111 can be constructed by means of the support sections 117. If the holding frame 111 is at an earth potential, the housing part 110 is thereby likewise at an earth potential, so that a PE contact can be formed.

[0045] In order to construct this PE contact, spring elements 118 are arranged on the holding frame 111, which are constructed from an electrically conductive material and rest on the support sections 117 in the inserted state of the holding frame 111 into the housing part 110. As can be seen in Figure 3 On the holding frame 111, four spring elements 118 are arranged, so that each support section 117 of the housing part 110 corresponds to one spring element 118.

[0046] The holding frame 111 has two laterally shaped flange sections 119, on which the spring elements 118 are held and fixed. On each of the two flange sections 119, two spring elements 118 are arranged respectively. In the inserted state, the holding frame 111 is supported on the support sections 117 of the housing part 110 by means of the spring elements 118.

[0047] The spring elements 118 are shown individually in Figure 4 The spring elements 118 are constructed here in the form of a stamped and bent piece. The spring elements 118 are stamped from a sheet metal strip and bent into the desired shape.

[0048] The spring element 118 has a fixed section 120 and a free end section 121 attached to the fixed section 120. The fixed section 120 is formed or bent together with the free end section 121 such that the spring element 118 has an S-shape.

[0049] By means of the fixed section 120, the spring element 118 is supported and fixed on the flange section 119 of the holding frame 111. The fixed section 120 is bent to form a U-shape. The fixed section 120 has a first leg 122 and a second leg 123, wherein the first leg 122 and the second leg 123 are connected to each other by means of an arc-shaped section 124. The first leg 122 and the second leg 123 extend substantially parallel to each other. The arc-shaped section 124 forms a 180° bend.

[0050] On the fixed section 120, a latching tab 125 is configured, by means of which a latching connection between the spring element 118 and the flange section 119 can be configured. The latching tab 125 is formed on the first leg 122. The latching tab 125 is sheared from the material of the first leg 122. The latching tab 125 is sheared such that it points in the direction of the second leg 123. The latching tab 125 is configured approximately in the middle of the first leg 122.

[0051] The free end section 121 is attached to the fixed section 120 via a further arc-shaped section 142. The free end section 121 directly adjoins the second leg 123 of the fixed section 120. The free end section 121 forms a spring tab. The free end section 121 constitutes a third leg of the spring element 118. The length and the width of the free end section 121 are configured approximately the same as the second leg 123 of the fixed section 120. Figure 4 The spring element 118 is shown in a relaxed state, wherein the free end section 121 extends at an angle of 10° < a < 40° with respect to the flange section 119 of the holding frame 111 and also with respect to the second leg 123. Whereas the first leg 122 and the second leg 123 of the fixed section 120 extend parallel to the flange section 119 of the holding frame 111 and thus parallel to each other not only in the relaxed state but also in a tensioned state of the spring element 118.

[0052] On both flange sections 119, respectively, a locking element 126 is arranged in addition to the spring element 118, by means of which a fixing and in particular a locking of the holding frame 111 on the housing part 110 in the inserted state can be configured. As Figure 3 is shown, one locking element 126 is arranged between the two spring elements 118, respectively. In order to form a latching, as Figure 7 is shown, the two locking elements 126 engage in the inserted state with the housing part 110.

[0053] To this end, recesses 127 are formed on the two end face side walls 113, 114 of the housing part 110, into which recesses 126 the locking elements can engage in the inserted state. The two recesses 127 are formed on the inner faces 128 of the end face side walls 113, 114 which are directed in the direction of the accommodation opening 112, as can be seen in particular also in the sectional view in Figure 2 . The two recesses 127 are arranged opposite one another.

[0054] In the embodiment shown in Figures 3 to 7 , the locking elements 126 are formed in the form of a wire, in particular a circular wire. The locking elements 126 are fixed to the holding frame 111 by means of their two free ends 129, 130. To this end, openings 131 are formed in the holding frame 111 into which the free ends 129, 130 of the locking elements 126 are inserted, for example as shown in Figure 3 . By being inserted into the openings 131, the locking elements 126 are pivotably supported relative to the holding frame 111, in particular relative to the flange section 119 of the holding frame 111, so that the locking elements 126 can be pivoted into the recesses 127 of the housing part 110.

[0055] The locking elements 126 have a tool accommodation region 132 into which a tool can be accommodated or hooked in order to release the respective locking element 126 again from the locked position in which the locking element 126 is engaged in the recess 127 and to transfer it into the unlocked position. On the tool accommodation region 132, the locking element 126 is formed substantially U-bent. The tool accommodation region 132 is formed approximately in the middle of the length of the locking element 126.

[0056] In the design shown in Figures 3 to 7 , the locking elements 126 and the spring elements 118 are each formed as separate components from one another.

[0057] Figure 6 It is shown that the locking elements 126 are inserted into the recesses 127 of the housing part 110. Figure 3The assembly 100 is shown in a state of insertion of the holding frame 111 into the receiving opening 112 of the housing part 110, wherein the holding frame 111 is inserted into the housing part 110 together with the locking elements 126 and the spring elements 118 fixed on the holding frame 111 in the insertion direction E. The holding frame 111 is inserted into the receiving opening 112 of the housing part 110 to such an extent that the two flange sections 119 of the holding frame 111 abut against the receiving section 117 of the housing part 110 by means of the spring elements 118 arranged on the flange sections 119. Since the spring elements 118 protrude with their free end sections 121 from the flange sections 119 and are inclined in the direction of the receiving section 117, the spring elements 118 come into contact with the bearing section 117. By means of the contact of the free end sections 121 with the bearing section 117, the free end sections 121 are bent in the direction of the respective flange section 119 upon further insertion of the holding frame 111 in the insertion direction E, whereby the spring elements 118 are tensioned and thus also in the inserted state shown in Figure 7 at any time reliably abut against the bearing section 117 and thus a reliable contact, in particular a reliable PE contact, between the housing part 110 and the holding frame 111 can be configured. In the tensioned state, the free end sections 121 of the spring elements 118 are oriented parallel to the respective flange section 119, as shown in Figure 7

[0058] Upon insertion of the holding frame 111 into the receiving opening 112 of the housing part 110, the two locking elements 126 can automatically snap into the respective recess 127, so that the locking elements 126 engage into the recesses 127 in the inserted state, as shown in Figure 7

[0059] A further possible embodiment of the assembly 100 is shown in Figures 8 to 11

[0060] Here, the spring elements 118 essentially have the same design as the spring elements 118 shown in Figures 3 to 7 Figures 8 to 11 ​​​​In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the spring elements 118 are formed in one piece with the locking elements 126 assigned thereto. Here, the locking elements 126 form a component of one-piece construction together with the two spring elements 118. The locking elements 126 are also arranged here between the two spring elements 118. The locking elements 126 are attached to the fixing sections 120 of the spring elements 118, in particular to the first leg 122 of the fixing sections 120. The spring elements 118 push their fixing sections 120 onto the flange sections 119 of the holding frame 111, so that the spring elements 118 enclose the flange sections 119 with their fixing sections 120. Here, the fixing of the locking elements 126 on the holding frame 111 is achieved by the two spring elements 118 assigned to the respective locking element 126, which are fixed on the flange sections 119 of the holding frame 111.

[0061] The locking elements 126, together with the two spring elements 118 connected to the locking elements 126, are punched out of a sheet metal strip and are bent. The locking elements 126 have a latching tab 133, which hooks or barbs into the recess 127 on the housing part 110 in the inserted state as shown in Fig. 1. On the latching tab 133, a tool accommodation area 132 is configured, which is configured in the form of a window-like opening on the latching tab 133. Figure 11

[0062] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the working principle when inserting the holding frame 111 into the housing part 110 is the same as in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, so that reference is made in particular to the explanations of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1. Figures 8 to 11 Figures 3 to 7 Figure 6 Figure 7

[0063] Figures 12 to 14 A further possible embodiment of the assembly 100 is shown. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the spring elements 118 are configured identically to the spring elements 118 shown in Figs. 1 and 3, so that the working principle of the spring elements 118 is identical. Figures 12 to 14 Figures 3 to 7 Figures 8 to 11

[0064] However, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the spring elements 118 are configured identically to the spring elements 118 shown in Figs. 1 and 2, so that the working principle of the spring elements 118 is identical. Figures 12 to 14 ​​​​​​​​The locking elements 126 shown in Fig. 1 are each configured by a movably supported catch element 134 and a lever 135, wherein the catch element 134 can be moved at least into an unlocked position by means of the lever 135. The lever 135 has a pivot axis 136 about which the lever 135 is pivotably supported on the holding frame 111. On the holding frame 111, two openings 137 are provided for each lever 135, in which the pivot axis 136 of the lever 135 is rotatably supported. Furthermore, the lever 135 has a gripping section 138 by means of which a user can manually manipulate the lever 136.

[0065] The catch element 134 of each locking element 126 is movably supported on the holding frame 111 transversely to the insertion direction E. Between the lever 135 and the catch element 134 of the locking element 126, a spring element 139 in the form of a helical spring is provided, which can exert a tensioning force between the lever 135 and the catch element 134. The catch element 134 has a curved catch edge 140, by means of which the catch element 134 hooks in the recess 127 of the housing part 110 in the inserted state, as can be seen in Fig. Figure 14

[0066] When the holding frame 111 is inserted into the housing part 110 along the insertion direction E, the spring element 118 first comes into contact with the support section 117 and is tensioned just as in the embodiment shown in Fig. Figures 3 to 11 As soon as the flange section 119 of the holding frame 111 also rests on the support section 117, the catch element 134 is pushed with its catch edge 140 into the respective recess 127 on the housing part 110 by the spring force of the spring element 139 and can be hooked there in order to be able to configure a securing and thus a catch between the holding frame 111 and the housing part 110 in the inserted state. This catch can be released again by a manual pivoting movement of the lever 135.

[0067] In all embodiments shown here in Figures 1 to 14 , the spring element 118 not only configures an electrical contact, in particular a PE contact, between the holding frame 111 and the housing part 110, but in the inserted state the spring element simultaneously exerts at least one pressure D onto the locking element 126 in order to be able to reliably hold the locking element in the respective recess 127 and thus an unintentional release of the holding frame 111 from the housing part 110 does not occur. The pressure D exerted by the tensioned spring element 118 here acts counter to the insertion direction E, whereby the locking element 126 is pressed against the upper edge 143 of the respective recess 127 of the housing part 110.

[0068] ​All the holding frames 111 shown here have a receiving space 141 in which a plurality of contact inserts can preferably be inserted.
