Description

[0001] The invention relates to a support device for receiving an electrical connector distribution unit, wherein the connector distribution unit has plug-in contacts on diametrically opposite plug-in sides for a positive locking and electrically conductive connection of a connector, and wherein the support device has a base plate for supporting the connector distribution unit and spaced-apart retaining plates for positive locking of the connector distribution unit.

[0002] The invention further relates to a set consisting of such a support device and a connector distributor.

[0003] DE 199 45 317 A1 discloses an electrical connector block comprising a housing with contact-forming receptacles on opposing outer surfaces. These contact-forming receptacles are designed for connecting multi-pole contact-forming counterparts. Within the housing, the contact-forming receptacles are interconnected by an electrically conductive grid. Contact pins pass through this grid.

[0004] DE 10 2010 032 176 A1 discloses a connector holder comprising a base, two side walls projecting perpendicularly from the base, and a cover connecting the side walls and aligned parallel to the base. The base, cover, and side walls are spaced apart from one another, leaving a receiving space for two connectors that can be inserted into the connector holder in opposite directions and are connectable to each other. The cover, side walls, and / or base, or combinations thereof, are at least partially detachable and can be locked in a closed position that fully encloses the receiving space by means of locking elements. The connector holder has fastening means for attaching it to a mounting surface.Furthermore, fixing elements extend with their two ends in opposite directions parallel to the planes of the bottom part, lid part and side walls into the receiving space, the fixing elements being integrally formed with the connector holder.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved support device for receiving an electrical connector distribution unit and a set consisting of such a support device and a connector distribution unit.

[0006] The problem is solved by the carrying device with the features of claim 1 and by the set with the features of claim 16. Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

[0007] It is proposed that a rear wall projects from the base plate, and that a pair of retaining plates, arranged side by side at a distance from each other on a plane, project from the rear wall parallel to the base plate. The pair of retaining plates spans a plane extending parallel to the base plate and is spaced apart from each other by a recess designed for the positive-locking reception of the connector terminal block. The connector terminal block can be inserted into the recess in a sliding direction towards the rear wall and, when inserted, can rest against both the base plate and the rear wall.

[0008] This provides a support with at least one level for accommodating a connector distribution block in the space between the pair of mounting plates arranged on the same plane, the back panel, and the base plate. The mounting plates form protruding projections against which the inserted connector distribution block is positively engaged.

[0009] A pair of retaining plates spanning a plane is to be understood as retaining plates that are spaced apart from each other by the recess. In this respect, a continuous retaining plate can also form such a pair of retaining plates if the continuous retaining plate has a recess for receiving the connector terminal block, which accordingly divides the continuous retaining plate into two adjacent retaining plate sections. It is also within the scope of the invention if, in addition to the retaining plates separated from each other by the recess, which form a pair of retaining plates with respect to the recess, further retaining plates or retaining plate sections are present on the plane.

[0010] A receiving gap can be formed between the pair of retaining plates and the adjacent base plate at a distance of 1 / 2000. A connector can be inserted on either side of the connector terminal block and connected to the plug contacts of the connector terminal block in a form-fitting and electrically conductive manner.

[0011] Several pairs of mounting plates, each spanning a plane, can project from the rear wall at a distance from the adjacent base plate. This creates a multi-level support element. Connectors can be inserted into the space between one pair of mounting plates and the adjacent pair on both sides of the connector distribution block and connected to the plug contacts of the connector distribution block in a form-fitting and electrically conductive manner.

[0012] The retaining plates can act as a stop for a locking hook that secures the connector termination unit to a clamped connector, provided the connector termination unit, together with a clamped connector secured against removal by the locking hook, is positively inserted into the receptacle of the retaining plates and the space between them. The surface of the retaining plate adjacent to the locking hook limits the degree of movement for the locking hook. This prevents a connector locked to the connector termination unit by the locking hook from simply being pulled off. Instead, the connector termination unit, along with the clamped connectors, must be removed from the support fixture to allow the locking hooks to move freely and thus unlock the connector.

[0013] The base plate and the retaining plates can project from the rear wall at a substantially right angle, with the retaining plates being arranged substantially parallel to the base plate.

[0014] The support device can be designed to be mirror-symmetrical to a plane lying in the recess and perpendicularly intersecting the base plate and the back wall.

[0015] Additional fixing elements may be present on the base plate and / or at least one of the mounting plates. For this purpose, a fixing rib may project from the plane of the base plate and / or the plane of a mounting plate. Alternatively, or in addition, the fixing element may also be implemented as a fixing groove in the base plate and / or at least one mounting plate. Such a fixing rib or groove can relieve the load on a locking latch that secures the connector to the connector terminal block. Furthermore, the holding forces are increased when the connector is pulled in the release direction, i.e., opposite to the insertion direction of a connector into the connector terminal block. The fixing rib may extend towards the rear panel in the insertion direction.

[0016] The fixing ridge and / or the fixing groove can be designed to fix a clamped connector against the insertion direction of the plug connection between the clamped connector and the connector connection distributor inserted into the support device, in particular in the release direction of the connector, and to relieve the plug connection between the connector connection distributor inserted into the support device and the clamped connector with regard to the holding forces.

[0017] The support device may have fastening means, preferably mounting holes, on the back wall and / or base plate.

[0018] The support device can have a locking mechanism for securing the inserted connector terminal block. This allows the support device to be fixed to the surface in either a horizontal or vertical position.

[0019] The locking device can be designed as a locking lug that projects from an end wall of the retaining plate that defines the recess.

[0020] For locking on both sides, two locking lugs can project towards each other on opposite end walls of a pair of retaining plates lying on the same plane, which define the recess.

[0021] The locking device can be a locking plate pivotally mounted on the base plate, wherein the locking plate has a locking contour that can be locked into the inserted connector distributor.

[0022] The task is further solved by a set consisting of such a support device and a connector connection distributor, wherein the connector connection distributor has plug contact connections on diametrically opposite plugging sides for a positive locking and electrically conductive connection of a connector, and wherein the connector connection distributor is designed to be inserted into the recess in a sliding direction towards the rear wall into the support device and rests against the base plate and the rear wall when inserted.

[0023] The set may also include a connector distributor that is inserted or can be inserted into the support device and a connector that is clamped or can be clamped to the connector distributor.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the connector can have a locking groove and the fixing rib can be designed to plunge into the locking groove and fix the clamped connector.

[0025] In general, in connection with this application, the words "ein / eine" are not to be understood as numerals, unless expressly defined otherwise, but as indefinite articles with the meaning of "at least one".

[0026] The invention allows for various embodiments and is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments and the accompanying drawings. These show, in schematic form: Fig. 1 - Perspective view of a support device; Fig. 2 - Front view of the three-story support structure made of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 - Side view of the support device made of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 with inserted connector distributor and connectors attached to it with the section line AA; Fig. 4 - Cross-sectional view of the support device in section AA of the plug-in terminals of the connector distributor; Fig. 5 - Perspective section view through the support structure made of Fig. 3 with inserted connector distributor and attached connectors with marking of cutout B; Fig. 6 - Perspective section view of the support device in section B of the plug connection between connector terminal distributor and clamped connector; Fig. 7 - Perspective view of a support device with a foldable locking plate; Fig. 8 - Front view of the three-story support structure made of Fig. 7; Fig. 9 - Cross-sectional view of the support device with inserted connector terminal block in partial section in the area of ​​the folded-up locking plate; Fig. 10- Side view of the support device made of Fig. 7 to 9 with inserted connector distributor and connectors attached to it, as well as folded-in ratchet plate; Fig. 11 - Perspective section view through the support structure made of Fig. 10 with inserted connector terminal block and attached connectors with marking of cutout B; Fig. 12 - Perspective section view of the support device made of Fig. 11 in the cutout B of the plug connection between connector terminal distributor and clamped connector.

[0027] Fig. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a support device 1.

[0028] The support device 1 has a base plate 2 and a rear wall 3 projecting perpendicularly from it. Several planes parallel to the plane of the base plate 2 are formed by pairs of retaining plates 4. The retaining plates 4 project transversely from the rear wall 3. Each pair of retaining plates 4, separated from each other by a recess 5, extends on a plane parallel to the base plate 2.

[0029] The recesses 5, which are aligned with each other on the superimposed planes, are designed for the positive locking reception of a connector connection distributor (not shown), wherein the connector connection distributor can be inserted into the recesses 5 in an insertion direction towards the rear wall 3 into the support device 1 and, in the inserted state, is supported on the base plate 2 and rests against the rear wall 3.

[0030] It is further evident that on the upper surface of the base plate, there is a fixing rib 6 projecting towards the adjacent retaining plate 4, extending in the insertion direction towards the rear wall. As shown, the fixing ribs 6 can be positioned away from the recess 5 towards the end area of ​​the respective adjacent, opposing retaining plates 4. This allows the fixing rib 6 to engage in a corresponding groove of a connector clamped to an inserted connector terminal block, thus securing it in a form-fitting manner.

[0031] Such a fixing ridge 6 can also project from the upper side of the retaining plates 4, preferably again at the end area furthest from the recess 5.

[0032] For fixing connectors, the retaining plates can have 4 fixing grooves 7 into which fixing ribs of connectors can dip in order to lock the connector in a form-fitting manner.

[0033] The base plate 2 can have fastening means 8, such as mounting holes as shown, to fix the support device 1 to a substrate, e.g. by screwing.

[0034] A cover plate 9 can project from the rear wall 3 on the opposite side to the base plate 2, away from the base plate 2. The cover plate 9 can be an integral part of the retaining plates 4 arranged directly below it. This further stabilizes the support structure 1 and the upper level of the retaining plates 4.

[0035] Fig. Figure 2 shows a front view of the three-story support structure 1. Fig. 1.

[0036] It is evident that the back panel 3 can have fastening means 8 to fix the support device 1 to a substrate with its back panel 3. These fastening means 8, which are designed, for example, as mounting holes, can be in addition to or as an alternative to the fastening means 8 of the base plate 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, there are three pairs of retaining plates 4, spaced apart from each other and from the base plate 2, creating three levels. This establishes three receiving spaces: one bounded by the base plate 2 and the adjacent first pair of retaining plates 4, the other by the first pair and the adjacent second pair, and the third pair and the uppermost pair. Each pair of retaining plates 4 is separated by a recess 5 extending towards the rear wall 3. This allows a connector distributor to be inserted into the recess from the front of the support device 1, facing the rear wall 3.The connector distributor is positively fixed by the end faces of the retaining plates 4 facing each other in the area of ​​the recess 5, as well as downwards by support on the base plate 2 and upwards by the cover plate 9.

[0038] It can be seen that fixing ribs 6 project from the surfaces (i.e., the top and bottom surfaces) of the plate-shaped retaining plates 4 and the base plate 2, extending perpendicularly to the plane of the rear wall 3. Pairs of fixing ribs 6 projecting towards each other can be present in a receiving space. A combination of a fixing rib 6 and an opposing fixing groove 7 is also conceivable. A fixing rib 6 or a fixing groove 7 can also be present on only one side of a receiving space to additionally secure a connector on only one side. The fixing ribs 6 and fixing grooves 7 are optional to improve the holding forces, so some or all receiving spaces may not have such fixing ribs 6 and / or fixing grooves 7.

[0039] Fig. Figure 3 shows a front view of the support device 1 from the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 with inserted connector distributor 10 and connectors 11 attached to it with the section line AA.

[0040] The connector terminal block 10 has plug-in contacts 12 on diametrically opposite mating sides for the positive locking and electrically conductive connection of a connector 11. The plug-in contacts 12 can have electrically conductive plug contacts arranged in a socket 13. A connector 11 can be plugged onto or into the socket 13 of a plug-in contact 12 with a complementary socket 14 in order to connect the connector 11 to the connector terminal block 10.

[0041] The plug-in terminals 12 can have locking elements 15 next to the plug-in sleeve 13 to lock the connected connector 11 to the connector terminal block 10. For this purpose, the locking elements 15 can have a locking hook 16 projecting from the plug-in side of the connector terminal block 10. The locking hook 16 can, as shown, have a locking arm with a projecting locking lug that can engage in a locking recess of the connected connector 11.

[0042] The locking hooks 16 are positioned directly adjacent to the underside of a retaining plate 4 when the connector terminal distributor 10 is inserted. This restricts the degree of movement of the locking hook 16 and prevents it from disengaging from the locked position. This secures the connector 11 in the pull or release direction (in Fig. 3 in a horizontal direction to the right for the connectors 11) clamped on the right plug side of the connector terminal distributor 10 firmly locked to the connector terminal distributor 10 and the support device 1 positively connected to it.

[0043] The locking elements 15 may also have a guide finger 17 spaced apart from the locking hook. This guide finger may have a tapered free end to facilitate insertion of the guide finger 17 into a corresponding guide channel of the connector 12.

[0044] The connectors 12 can have fixing means in the form of a locking groove 18 and / or locking ribs. It can be seen that a fixing rib 6 projects from the plane of the base plate and from the plane of a mounting plate, which engages in a locking groove 18 of a clamped connector 11. In the illustrated embodiment, it is shown that optionally a fixing groove 7 is provided on at least one mounting plate 4, e.g., on the upper side. A locking rib of a connector 11 can engage in this fixing groove 7 when clamped to lock the connector 11 to the support device 1. The fixing ribs 6 and fixing grooves 7 extend in the insertion direction towards the rear wall, i.e., in Fig. 3 in the direction of view.

[0045] These fixing means in the form of the fixing ribs 6 and fixing grooves 7 on the support device 1 as well as the corresponding locking grooves 18 and locking ribs on the connector 11 are designed to fix a clamped connector 11 against the insertion direction S of the plug connection between the clamped connector 11 and the connector connection distributor 10 inserted into the support device 1, in particular in the release direction L of the connector 11, and to relieve the plug connection between the connector connection distributor 10 inserted into the support device 1 and the clamped connector 11 with respect to the holding forces.

[0046] The connector distributor 10 can have a locking contour 24 on its side diametrically opposite the rear wall 3 in the inserted state, on which a locking element of the support device, such as a locking plate pivotally attached to the base plate 2, can engage in order to fix the connector distributor 10 in a form-fitting manner even in the opposite direction to the insertion direction E.

[0047] Fig. Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the support device 1 in section AA of the plug-in terminals 12 of the connector terminal block 10. The connector terminal block 10 has plug-in terminals 12 on several levels on its plug-in side, visible in the section; here, three plug-in levels are shown as an example. Depending on the number of poles, each plug-in level and plug-in side can have a single-pole, two-pole, three-pole, or more than three-pole plug-in terminal 12. Each terminal pole has a plug-in sleeve projecting into the connection space between two adjacent mounting plates 4 or between the lower mounting plate 4 and the base plate 2. In the illustrated embodiment, three plug-in sleeves 13 are arranged horizontally, spaced apart from each other, in the insertion direction E of the connector terminal block 10 towards the rear wall 3 for clamping a three-pole connector 11.

[0048] The according to Fig. Three connectors 11, clamped in the upper and lower plug planes, are visible in cross-section with their complementary plug sleeve 14. The connection contacts 19 of the connector 11, arranged in the complementary plug sleeve 14 and which may, for example, be designed as knife contacts, come into contact with the connection contacts 20 of the connector terminal block 10, arranged in the plug sleeve 13 and which may, for example, be designed as fork contacts.

[0049] It can be seen that a locking hook 16 of the connector 11 and / or the connector terminal block 10 abuts the underside of the adjacent mounting plate 4. The underside faces the connection space for the connector 11. The mounting plate 4 forms a stop for the locking hook 16 and prevents the connector 11, which is locked to the connector terminal block 10 in the connected state, from disengaging.

[0050] The connectors can have guide channels 21 into which a guide finger 17 of the connector terminal distributor 10 can be inserted.

[0051] Fig. Figure 5 shows a perspective sectional view through the support device 1. Fig. 3 with inserted connector distributor 10 and attached connectors 11 with a marking of the cutout B.

[0052] Fig. Figure 6 shows a perspective view of the support device 1 in this section B of the plug connection between connector terminal distributor 10 and a clamped connector 11.

[0053] The connector distributor 10 is inserted into the recess 5 of the support device 1 with a rectangular base body and is thus positively locked to the support device 1 in the insertion direction S and release direction L, which depend on the insertion side. On the insertion sides, sockets 13 of the connector distributor 10 project into a respective connection compartment of the support device 1. The sockets 13 contain connection contacts 20, which can form an electrically conductive and mechanical connection with complementary connection contacts 19 of a plugged-in and clamped connector 11.

[0054] The locking elements 15 can be integrally formed with an insulating housing of the connector terminal distributor 10 or connected to the connector terminal distributor 10 as separate parts by means of a snap-fit ​​connection 22. It can be seen that a guide finger 17 of the locking element 15 engages in a guide channel 21, the circumferential wall of which lies with a section between the locking hook 16 and the guide finger 17. A locking lug 23 of the locking hook 16 forms a stop for a locking edge 24 on the circumferential wall of the guide channel 21.

[0055] It can be seen that a guide rib 6 projecting from the underside of the upper retaining plate 4 dips into a locking groove 18 of the adjacent clamped connector 11 and secures it against being pulled out in the direction of pull.

[0056] Fig. Figure 7 shows a perspective view of a modified embodiment of the support device 1 with a hinged locking plate 25 attached to the base plate 2. The locking plate 25 is L-shaped with a base section 26 and a retaining section 27 projecting transversely from the base section. The retaining section 27 has a locking contour 24 with a locking lug 23. The retaining section 27 can be formed, as shown, from two retaining webs 28a, 28b rigidly connected to the base section 26 and a spring-elastic locking tab 29 arranged between the retaining webs 28a, 28b. The locking tab 29 has the locking lug 23 projecting from the plane of the locking tab 29. The locking lug 23 can, for example, be designed as a locking web, as shown.

[0057] The locking plate 25 can, for example, be formed in one piece with the base plate 2 so that it can be pivoted via a film hinge.

[0058] For the construction of the support device 1, reference can be made to the description at Fig. 1 will be referred.

[0059] Fig. Figure 8 shows a front view of the three-story support structure 1. Fig. 7. It can be seen that the locking plate 25 is angled away from the plane of the base plate 2 and thus folded into the unlocked position. This releases the recess 5 so that a connector distributor 10 can be inserted into the recess 5.

[0060] Fig. Figure 9 shows a cross-sectional view of the support device 1. Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 with inserted connector distributor 10 in partial section in the area of ​​the folded-up locking plate 25.

[0061] By flipping the locking plate 25 out of the unlocked open position Fig. The recess 5 can be closed by moving the latching plate 25 into the latched position shown. The latching plate 25 can then be locked in the locking position with the inserted connector terminal block 10. For this purpose, a positive fit is formed between the latching lug 23 and a latching contour 24 on the connector terminal block 10. The latching lug 23 can, for example, engage in a latching recess 30, as shown.

[0062] Fig. Figure 10 shows a side view of the support device 1 from the Fig. 7 to 9 with an inserted connector distributor 10 and connectors 11 clamped to it, as well as the folded-up latching locking plate 25 made of Fig. 9. It can be seen that the locking tab 29 and the retaining ribs 28a, 28b arranged on either side of it abut the inserted connector terminal block 10 and hold it positively in the support device 1. A slot 31 can be provided between the retaining ribs 28a, 28b and the locking tab 29, allowing the locking tab 29 to spring elastically relative to the retaining ribs 28a, 28b. The retaining ribs 28a, 28b are more rigid than the locking tab 29 and do not spring back elastically, or at least not to a significantly lesser extent.

[0063] Fig. Figure 11 shows a perspective sectional view through the support device 1. Fig. 10 with inserted connector terminal block 10 and attached connectors 11 with a marking of the cutout B. Here too, the description to Fig. 5 are referred to.

[0064] It is evident that the base plate 2 has a recess into which the base section 26 of the locking plate 25 is inserted in the locking position shown. Thus, the inserted connector distributor 10 is at least partially supported on the base section 26.

[0065] Fig. Figure 12 shows a perspective section view of the support device 1. Fig. Figure 11 shows section B of the connector connection between connector terminal block 10 and the attached connector 11. It is evident that the connection contacts 19 and 20 are electrically connected to each other. The inserted connector 10 is adjacent to the retaining plates 4 and can be locked in place with a latch 16.
