[0006] The invention is based on the objective of providing a motor-driven garden and / or forestry work tool comprising a connector for electrically connecting a plug terminal to an electrical line of the motor-driven garden and / or forestry work tool, wherein the connector has improved properties.

[0007] The invention solves this problem by providing a motor-driven garden and / or forestry tool with the features of claim 1. Advantageous further developments and / or embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

[0008] The motor-driven garden and / or forestry processing device according to the invention has a plug-in flag, an electrical cable and a connector.

[0009] The connector for electrically connecting the plug lug to the electrical cable of the motorized garden and / or forestry equipment has a plug lug receptacle and a cable receptacle. The plug lug receptacle has a first surface clamping leg, a second surface clamping leg, a first edge guide wing, and a second edge guide wing. The surface clamping legs are arranged opposite each other. The edge guide wings are arranged opposite each other.The plug-in flag receiving section is designed or configured for elastically increasing the leg spacing between the surface clamping legs and for plastically increasing the wing spacing between the edge guide wings by means of, in particular, direct, interaction of the edge guide wings with the plug-in flag. This is achieved by receiving the plug-in flag between the surface clamping legs and the edge guide wings, and by contacting and applying a clamping force to opposing surfaces of the received plug-in flag by means of the surface clamping legs, and by contacting opposing edges of the received plug-in flag by means of the edge guide wings. This secures the received plug-in flag against detachment from the plug-in flag receiving section and provides electrical contact. The cable receiving section is electrically, and in particular mechanically, connected to the plug-in flag receiving section.The cable receiving section is designed or configured to receive the electrical cable, to secure the received cable against detachment from the cable receiving section, and to make electrical contacts.

[0010] The connector electrically connects the plug tab, in particular the inserted one, to the cable, in particular the inserted one.

[0011] The connector, in particular the elastic expansion of the leg spacing and the plastic expansion of the wing spacing, allows for individual adaptation of the connector to the plug lug, especially to tolerances in thickness and width of the plug lug. Thus, the connector, and in particular the plug lug receptacle, enables a play-free insertion and fit of the plug lug, and therefore a relatively good securing of the inserted plug lug against detachment from the plug lug receptacle, especially under vibrations or accelerations of up to 1000 meters per second (m / s²) caused by the motor-driven garden and / or forestry equipment, especially a drive motor such as an internal combustion engine, and / or also during repeated insertion or removal.This allows for the repeated insertion of the same connector tab into the same tab receptacle or the repeated insertion of the same tab receptacle onto the same connector tab. Thus, the connector, and in particular the tab receptacle, enables a relatively reliable electrical connection of the received tab. Furthermore, the surface clamping legs and the edge guide wings can each provide electrical contact with the received tab, thereby ensuring redundant electrical contact.

[0012] In particular, the connector can be referred to as a contact spring or contact plug.

[0013] The plug-in flag can be called a plug-in tongue. Additionally or alternatively, the plug-in flag can be plate-shaped.

[0017] The slotted flag receptacle can be designed to plastically increase the wing spacing in an area where the edge guide wings contact the received slotted flag. Additionally or alternatively, the slotted flag receptacle can be designed to plastically increase the wing spacing between a free end(s) of the first edge guide wing and / or the second edge guide wing. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the slotted flag receptacle can be designed to plastically increase the wing spacing by a minimum of 1%, in particular a minimum of 2%, in particular a minimum of 5%, in particular a minimum of 10%. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the plastical increase in the wing spacing can occur during the initial insertion of the slotted flag into the slotted flag receptacle or during the initial attachment of the slotted flag receptacle to the slotted flag.

[0018] The flag attachment section can be designed independently of each other for elastic enlargement of the leg spacing and for plastic enlargement of the wing spacing.

[0019] The force required to insert the tab into the tab receptacle or to attach the tab receptacle to the tab, particularly in a tab receptacle direction, can be a minimum of 10 Newtons (N), particularly a minimum of 20 N, and / or a maximum of 40 N, particularly 30 N. Additionally or alternatively, the force required to release the inserted tab from the tab receptacle, particularly against the tab receptacle direction, can be a minimum of 10 Newtons (N), particularly a minimum of 20 N, and / or a maximum of 40 N, particularly 30 N.

[0020] The flag receptacle section can be connected to the received flag by a force-fit, in particular a form-fit, connection. Additionally or alternatively, the flag receptacle section need not be connected to the received flag by a material-fit connection.

[0021] The conductor receiving section can be connected to the received electrical conductor by a force-fit connection, in particular a form-fit connection. Additionally or alternatively, the conductor receiving section need not be connected to the received conductor by a material bond.

[0022] The cable intake section can be designed as a troubleshooting aid or disassembly aid.

[0023] The cable receiving section may have a strain relief for the electrical cable, in particular the one received.

[0024] The connector can be a single piece. This allows the connector to be relatively robust, especially compared to a multi-part connector, which can fall apart over time due to continuous vibration.

[0025] The connector may be made partially or entirely of an electrically conductive material. In particular, the connector may be made partially or entirely of steel, tin-plated steel, nickel-plated steel, bronze, tin-plated bronze, brass, and / or tin-plated brass. Additionally or alternatively, the connector may be designed for an electrical current of at least 5 milliamperes (mA), in particular at least 10 mA, and / or at most 100 mA, in particular at most 50 mA, and in particular at most 20 mA. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the connector may be designed for an electrical voltage of at least 5 volts (V), in particular at least 10 V, and / or at most 100 V, in particular at most 50 V, and in particular at most 25 V.Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the connector, in particular the tab receiving section, can be designed for a contact resistance with the received tab of a maximum of 3 ohms (Ω), in particular of a maximum of 300 milliohms (mΩ), in particular of a maximum of 30 mΩ, in particular of a maximum of 3 mΩ.

[0026] The motorized garden and / or forestry equipment may include an engine control unit, in particular an electric and / or cylinder-mounted unit, and in particular an ignition module. The engine control unit, in particular the ignition module, may have a plug-in connector.

[0027] The garden and / or forestry equipment can be hand-operated, in particular hand-carried or ground-guided. In particular, hand-operated, in particular hand-carried, garden and / or forestry equipment can mean that the garden and / or forestry equipment can have a mass of a maximum of 50 kilograms (kg), in particular a maximum of 20 kg, in particular a maximum of 10 kg.

[0028] The garden and / or forestry equipment can be a saw, a pole pruner, a brush cutter, a hedge trimmer, a hedge trimmer, a blower, a leaf blower, a lopper, an angle grinder, a sweeper, a sweeping roller, a sweeping brush, a lawn mower, a scarifier or grass shears.

[0029] The connector, in particular the tab receptacle, has an insertion limiting and / or user-pressing section in one, and especially the, tab receptacle direction at one end of the surface clamping legs. The insertion limiting and / or user-pressing section is designed or configured to limit the receptacle's position, particularly by positive locking, especially by contacting the tab, and / or to allow the user to press the tab receptacle onto the tab. This enables relatively simple, and especially tool-free, assembly, particularly by hand, of the tab receptacle onto the tab. In particular, the end of the section can be different from and / or spaced apart from a free end(s) of the first and / or second surface clamping leg.Additionally or alternatively, the insertion limiting and / or user push-in section can be designed for electrical contacting the received plug-in tab. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the insertion limiting and / or user push-in section can run non-parallel, in particular orthogonally, to the plug-in tab receiving direction and / or parallel to a leg spacing direction and / or a wing spacing direction.

[0030] The surface clamping legs are mechanically, and in particular electrically, connected to each other by means of the insertion limiting and / or user pressure section.

[0031] This, in particular the connection, allows for a relatively simple design and / or a relatively simple manufacture of the connector, especially the plug-in tab receiving section.

[0032] In particular, the surface clamping legs do not need to be mechanically connected to each other by means of the edge guide wings. Additionally or alternatively, the plug-in flag receptacle section does not need to be designed to elastically increase the leg spacing in the end region.

[0033] In a further development of the invention, the surface clamping legs and the edge guide wings are arranged to each other in such a way that a wing spacing direction, in particular of the wing spacing, runs non-parallel, in particular orthogonally, to a leg spacing direction, in particular of the leg spacing.

[0034] Additionally or alternatively, the first surface clamping leg, the first edge guide wing, the second surface clamping leg and the second edge guide wing are arranged in this order around a plug-in flag receiving direction.

[0035] This allows, in particular the non-parallel orientation and / or sequence, the edge guide wings to provide lateral support, especially in the direction of the sash spacing, so that the plug-in flag receptacle section cannot slip off the received plug-in flag to one side, especially in the direction of the sash spacing. Additionally or alternatively, this allows, in particular the non-parallel orientation and / or sequence, the plug-in flag receptacle section to be centered on the plug-in flag.

[0036] In particular, the surface clamping legs and the edge guide wings can describe a rectangular shape. Additionally or alternatively, the insertion direction of the plug-in flags can be non-parallel, in particular orthogonal to the wing spacing direction and / or the leg spacing direction.

[0037] In a further development of the invention, the first edge guide wing is connected, in particular either, to the first surface clamping leg or to the second surface clamping leg directly mechanically, in particular and electrically.

[0038] Additionally or alternatively, the second edge guide wing is connected directly to the first surface clamping leg or to the second surface clamping leg, either mechanically or electrically.

[0039] This allows for a relatively simple design and / or a relatively simple manufacturing of the connector, especially the tab receiving section.

[0040] In a further development of the invention, the edge guide wings extend from the first surface clamping leg in the direction, in particular in a leg spacing direction, of the second surface clamping leg, in particular up to the second surface clamping leg.

[0041] Additionally or alternatively, the edge guide wings are arranged in a central area of ​​the surface clamping legs in a, in particular, the, plug-flap receiving direction.

[0042] Furthermore, or alternatively, the edge guide wings in the direction of the plug-in flag insertion are a maximum of 50%, in particular a maximum of 40%, times as long or as high as the surface clamping legs.

[0043] This, and in particular its extension, allows the edge guide wings to provide lateral support, especially in the direction of the sash spacing, so that the plug-in flag receptacle cannot slip off the received plug-in flag to one side, especially in the direction of the sash spacing. Additionally or alternatively, this, and in particular its extension, allows the plug-in flag receptacle to be centered on the plug-in flag.

[0044] This allows, in particular the arrangement and / or the length, a relatively simple and / or relatively material-saving manufacture of the connector, especially the plug-in tab receiving section.

[0045] In particular, the plug-in flag receptacle section can be designed to plastically increase the wing spacing in a region of the second surface clamping leg. Additionally or alternatively, "arranged in the central region" can mean that the edge guide wings can be spaced apart from the ends of the surface clamping legs in and / or opposite to the plug-in flag receptacle direction. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the plug-in flag receptacle section can be designed to elastically increase the leg spacing in the central region. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the edge guide wings can be at least 5%, in particular at least 10%, in particular 20%, times as long as the surface clamping legs in the plug-in flag receptacle direction.

[0046] In a further development of the invention, the edge guide wings are at least 1 millimeter (mm) long and / or at most 4 mm, in particular 2.5 mm, high in one, in particular the, plug-flap receiving direction.

[0047] Additionally or alternatively, the surface clamping legs in the direction of the plug-in flag reception are a minimum of 3 mm and / or a maximum of 9 mm, in particular 6 mm, in length or height.

[0048] Additionally or alternatively, the leg spacing is a minimum of 1 mm and / or a maximum of 3 mm, in particular 2 mm, especially when a plug-in flag is included.

[0049] Additionally or alternatively, the wing spacing is a minimum of 3 mm and / or a maximum of 7 mm, in particular 5 mm, especially when a plug-in flag is included.

[0050] Furthermore, or alternatively, the leg spacing is a maximum of 50%, in particular a maximum of 40%, times the wing spacing, especially when a plug-in flag is included.

[0051] Additionally or alternatively, the surface clamping legs and / or the edge guide wings are a minimum of 0.25 mm and / or a maximum of 0.75 mm, in particular 0.5 mm, thick.

[0052] This dimension allows for a good compromise between the force required to hold and the force required to release. Additionally or alternatively, these dimensions allow for relatively large clamping jaws for relatively low stresses and a relatively high clamping or contact force.

[0053] In particular, the leg spacing before the initial insertion of the plug-in tab into the plug-in tab insertion section can be 0 mm, or a free end of the first surface clamping leg and / or the second surface clamping leg can touch the other surface clamping leg. Additionally or alternatively, the leg spacing can be at least 5%, in particular at least 10%, in particular at least 20% times the wing spacing, especially when the plug-in tab is inserted. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the width of the edge guide wings, especially in the leg spacing direction, can correspond to, in particular be the same as, the leg spacing, especially when the plug-in tab is inserted. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the width of the surface clamping legs, especially in the wing spacing direction, can correspond to, in particular be the same as, the wing spacing.

[0054] In a further development of the invention, the insertion limiting and / or user pressing section is curved or indented inwards, in particular convex on the inside and / or concave on the outside, or in the opposite direction to the insertion flag receiving direction.

[0055] This, in particular the curvature, allows the leg spacing to be 0 mm before the first insertion of the plug-in flag into the plug-in flag receiving section, or allows a free end of the first surface clamping leg and / or the second surface clamping leg to touch the other surface clamping leg.

[0056] In a further development of the invention, the first surface clamping leg and / or the second surface clamping leg are shaped in a leg insertion area for the, in particular to be received, plug-in flag for interaction with the plug-in flag for elastic enlargement of the leg distance, in particular inclined.

[0057] Additionally or alternatively, the first edge guide wing and / or the second edge guide wing are shaped, particularly obliquely, in a wing insertion area for the plug-in tab to interact with the plug-in tab, which is to be received in particular, for plastically increasing the wing spacing. In particular, the first edge guide wing and / or the second edge guide wing have insertion chamfer(s).

[0058] This, in particular the shape of the first surface clamping leg and / or the second surface clamping leg, prevents tilting when inserting the plug-in flag into the plug-in flag receptacle and thus allows for relatively easy insertion.

[0059] In particular, the leg insertion area can be located at a free end(s) of the first wing clamping leg and / or the second wing clamping leg. Additionally or alternatively, a free end(s) of the first wing clamping leg and / or the second wing clamping leg can be angled outwards. Furthermore, additionally or alternatively, the first wing clamping leg and / or the second wing clamping leg can be shaped at an angle to the insertion lug direction in the leg insertion area. Additionally or alternatively, the first edge guide wing and / or the second edge guide wing can be shaped at an angle to the insertion lug direction in the wing insertion area.

[0060] In a further development of the invention, the cable receiving section is arranged, in particular either, in a, in particular the, plug-flap receiving direction at the level of a, in particular the, leg insertion area of ​​the first surface clamping leg and / or the second surface clamping leg for the plug-flap, or spaced apart from the leg insertion area opposite the plug-flap receiving direction. This enables a relatively good arrangement of the received electrical cable, in particular of a center of gravity of the cable, and thus a relatively good securing of the received plug-flap against detachment from the plug-flap receiving section, especially in the case of vibrations of the cable.

[0061] In a further development of the invention, the edge guide wings are directly mechanically, and in particular electrically, connected to the first surface clamping leg. The second surface clamping leg is mechanically, and in particular electrically, connected to the conductor receiving section by means of the first surface clamping leg. This enables a relatively central arrangement of the connector components, particularly starting from the first surface clamping leg, and thus a relatively good securing of the received connector tab against detachment from the connector tab receiving section.

[0062] In a further development of the invention, the connector tab receiving section, in particular the first surface clamping leg or the second surface clamping leg, and the cable receiving section are mechanically and, in particular, electrically connected to one another by means of a spring section, in particular a bent one. This makes it possible to reduce or even prevent the transmission of vibrations, if any, from the received electrical cable to the connector tab receiving section, and thus to provide relatively good security for the received connector tab against detachment from the connector tab receiving section. Additionally or alternatively, this makes it possible to reduce or even prevent the risk of breakage of the received cable at the cable receiving section. In particular, the cable receiving section can be bent away from the connector tab receiving section by means of the spring section, in particular against one leg spacing direction.

[0063] In a further development of the invention, the connector tab receiving section and the cable receiving section are arranged relative to each other such that one cable receiving direction is non-parallel, in particular orthogonal, to one of the connector tab receiving directions, and in particular parallel to one of the wing spacing directions. This makes it possible to reduce or even prevent the transmission of vibrations, if any, from the received electrical cable to the connector tab receiving section, and thus to provide relatively good security for the received connector tab against detachment from the connector tab receiving section. In particular, the cable receiving direction can be parallel to a longitudinal axis of the received cable.

[0064] In a further development of the invention, the conductor receiving section is formed or configured with the electrical conductor for a crimp connection, in particular a B-crimp connection and / or an overlap crimp connection. The crimp connection, in particular the B-crimp connection, enables relatively simple processing, especially in contrast to a roll crimp connection, and / or the crimping of two electrical conductors.

[0065] In a further development of the invention, the connector comprises a stamped and bent part, in particular one that is weld-free. This enables relatively simple and therefore relatively cost-effective manufacturing of the connector. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
