Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a connector housing for an electrical plug connector, for example but not only for use in the automotive sector. The present invention also relates to an electrical plug connector and an electrical plug connection comprising such a connector housing. [Background technology]

[0002] In many applications in automotive engineering, electrically conductive contact elements are formed to be electrically contacted by removable plug connections for the transmission of electric current and electrical signals. The electric current is generated in particular via mutually contacting contact surfaces or contacts of the contact elements. For this purpose, the contact elements are typically positioned and mounted respectively in a suitable connector housing. For example, a certain play is provided for this positioning and mounting in order to compensate for manufacturing-related dimensional tolerances in the context of the installation of the contact elements.

[0003] Under vibratory operating conditions, frictional relative movement can be induced between the contact surfaces or contacts of the contact elements, resulting in increased wear and abrasion of the contact elements, which can have a negative impact on the operational behavior of the electrical plug connection. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The invention is based on the object of improving the manufacturability and vibration resistance of electrical plug connectors and electrical plug connections as a whole. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This object is met by a connector housing for an electrical plug connector, which comprises at least one cable duct through which an electric cable of a predefined outer diameter passes along a plug-in direction and at least one vibration suppressor which can be swiveled about a pivot axis into the at least one cable duct, such that in the swiveled state of the at least one vibration suppressor, in a cross section perpendicular to the plug-in direction, at least one inside dimension of the at least one cable duct is equal to or smaller than the predefined outer diameter of the electric cable to be passed through.

[0006] The clearance dimension may also be synonymously referred to as the inside dimension or the inside clearance dimension and is understood in this specification to mean, for example, the clearance width, the clearance height, the inside diameter, the narrowest inside dimension of a cable duct or the shortest distance between two inside walls of a cable duct.

[0007] Above all, the invention has the advantage that it provides the possibility of establishing additional vibration suppression by means of at least one pivotable vibration suppressor after the assembly of the cable, i.e. after the passage of the electric cable. In particular, in the pivoted state of the at least one vibration suppressor, the resulting inside dimensions allow the electric cable passed through the at least one cable duct to be clamped, squeezed, pressed or at least held in contact with the interior of the at least one cable duct. In other words, a subsequent reduction in the cross section of the at least one cable duct is used to fix the electric cable against vibrations. The at least one vibration suppressor can be implemented for example by means of a clamping device, a slide, a pressing element and / or a cross section adjustment. During assembly of the cable, i.e. in the unswiveled state, the at least one vibration suppressor does not prevent the electric cable from passing through the at least one cable duct, whereby the connector housing simplifies the formation of the electric plug connector and contributes to increasing the vibration resistance of the electric plug connector by the vibration suppression.

[0008] The invention can be further improved by the following embodiments, which are advantageous alone and can also be combined with one another in any combination.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the at least one vibration suppressor can be arranged on the outer surface of the connector housing and can be pivotable by a hinge. The hinge can thus hold the at least one vibration suppressor at the connector housing, preferably by captivation, and at the same time define a pivot axis. For example, the pivot axis can extend perpendicular to the plug-in direction. Depending on the required space and the accessibility of the connector housing, the pivot axis can also have other extensions, for example obliquely or parallel to the plug-in direction.

[0010] Depending on the required pivot cycle and the desired production costs, the hinge can be designed as a pivot hinge, a snap hinge or a living hinge.

[0011] According to a further embodiment of the invention, the at least one vibration suppressor comprises at least one projection which projects in the pivoted state into the at least one cable duct, preferably perpendicular to the plug-in direction into the at least one cable duct, where the at least one projection is a measure for influencing the clearance of the at least one cable duct that can be easily implemented, resulting in a simple construction of the connector housing.

[0012] According to one possible embodiment, the at least one protrusion can have a wedge shape, which preferably faces into the at least one cable duct when the at least one vibration suppressor is in a pivoted state. In other words, the at least one protrusion has a wedge-like profile that tapers along the pivot direction of the at least one vibration suppressor, i.e. along the circumferential direction of the pivot axis. The wedge-like profile can be straight or curved. Thus, a continuous stepless reduction in the inside dimension can be obtained when the at least one vibration suppressor is pivoted inwards. In addition, a smaller amount of force is required to pivot the at least one vibration suppressor, thus simplifying the assembly of the electrical plug connector.

[0013] Additionally or alternatively, the at least one protrusion can be configured as a preferably elastic leg that is deflected into alignment by the inner wall of the cable duct when the at least one vibration suppressor is pivoted inwards, thus generating a force that is induced in particular perpendicular to the plug-in direction, thereby increasing the clamping, squeezing, pressing or holding force of the at least one vibration suppressor.

[0014] The at least one vibration suppressor may optionally comprise two protrusions configured as elastic legs arranged in such a way that a U-shaped profile is generated in a cross section of the at least one vibration suppressor perpendicular to the plug-in direction. For example, the two protrusions configured as elastic legs extend parallel to each other and are spaced apart at a distance equal to or smaller than a predefined outer diameter of the electric cable to be passed. In the pivoted state of the at least one vibration suppressor, the protrusions configured as elastic legs extend perpendicular to the plug-in direction and thus can clamp the electric cable to be passed between the protrusions configured as elastic legs.

[0015] According to a further embodiment, the at least one protrusion is arranged on an arm of the at least one vibration suppressor. The arm can be, for example, a lever connecting the at least one vibration suppressor to a hinge. The leverage can then be used and handling of the connector housing can be simplified. To prevent slippage when manipulating the connector housing, the arm can be provided with at least one wavy surface.

[0016] For the purpose of prepositioning the electric cable to be passed through, the connector housing can have at least one cutout arranged on the inner wall of the at least one cable duct, the at least one cutout serving as a cable seat or cable support, respectively. In particular, the at least one cutout can run parallel to the plug-in direction and can be arranged at least partially opposite at least one protrusion of the at least one vibration suppressor that is perpendicular to the plug-in direction with respect to the at least one cable duct in the pivoted state of the at least one vibration suppressor. The at least one cutout can thus additionally fix the electric cable to be passed through from several directions, with only a reduction in the inside dimension in one direction. More precisely, for the purpose of clamping, at least one protrusion of at least one vibration suppressor can force the electric cable to be passed through into at least one notch with a positive fit from one direction, thereby restricting the freedom of movement of the electric cable in the other direction as well.

[0017] The connector housing may also comprise at least one contact chamber for receiving an electrical contact element along the plug-in direction, preferably by latching, and the at least one cable duct opens into the at least one contact chamber.

[0018] According to a further embodiment of the invention, the connector housing can have at least two cable ducts running in parallel, the cable ducts being preferably at least partially separated from one another by at least one bulkhead and at least one cutout being arranged in the at least one bulkhead, one cutout respectively used as a cable seat or cable support being preferably provided in each cable duct.

[0019] The applicability of the invention can be expanded by additional cable ducts. For example, each individual core of an electric cable containing two or more cores can be passed through one cable duct each. At least one bulkhead then ensures that the required clearance and creepage distances are maintained.

[0020] In a further embodiment, the at least one vibration suppressor may comprise at least one latching element for latching in a pre-swivel position and / or in a swivel state. In particular, the at least one latching element may latch on an outer edge of the connector housing. The assembly of the connector housing may be simplified by the at least one latching element, since the internally defined positions of the at least one vibration suppressor may be distinguishable for pre-assembly (i.e. pre-swivel position) and final assembly (i.e. swivel state). Furthermore, the generation of a noise associated with the latching may be used as an acoustic assembly check.

[0021] The underlying object can also be satisfied by an electrical plug connector comprising a connector housing, at least one electric cable with a predefined natural frequency and at least one electrical contact element arranged at an end of the at least one electric cable. The at least one electrical contact element can be crimped, screwed, welded, soldered or attached to the at least one electric cable, for example, using comparable technical measures. The connector housing is configured according to one of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the at least one vibration suppressor at least contacts the at least one electric cable in a pivoted state. In particular, an inner surface of the at least one vibration suppressor, i.e. a surface facing inwards towards the at least one cable duct, can contact a cable insulation and / or a conductor of the at least one electric cable. The at least one electrical cable may optionally be pressed between an inner surface of the vibration suppressor in the pivoted state and an inner wall or bulkhead of the at least one cable duct.

[0022] The electrical plug connector according to the invention is advantageous in that the freedom of movement of the at least one electrical cable can be limited by the at least one vibration suppressor after the cable has been installed, so that the at least one electrical cable and the associated at least one electrical contact element connected to the at least one electrical cable are less susceptible to vibration-induced movements, so that the electrical plug connector according to the invention can be provided with a higher vibration resistance.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the at least one electric cable can have a natural frequency in a pivoted state of the at least one vibration suppressor that is higher than a predefined natural frequency of the at least one electric cable. By raising the natural frequency, the occurrence of natural vibrations of the at least one electric cable and the at least one electrical contact element connected to the at least one electrical cable is selectively shifted to a higher frequency level, which is preferably outside the frequency range of vibrations expected or typical for the application, respectively.

[0024] To fix the at least one vibration suppressor in the pivoted state, at least one outer surface of the at least one vibration suppressor, i.e. the surface facing outwardly towards the at least one cable duct, can enter into a press-fit, frictional engagement and / or positive substance-fit connection with an inner wall or bulkhead of the at least one cable duct. In particular, in a cross section of the connector housing perpendicular to the plug-in direction, the outer contour of the at least one vibration suppressor can be equal to or greater than the inner contour of the at least one cable duct. If the pivoted state is for example permanently envisaged, adhesive bonding of the at least one vibration suppressor in the pivoted state is also possible.

[0025] Additionally or alternatively, the electrical plug connector according to the invention may further comprise a locking device for holding the at least one vibration suppressor in a pivoted state, the locking device preventing the at least one vibration suppressor from being accidentally released, e.g. by vibrations 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 the locking device, which at the same time serves to shield the electrical plug connector from electromagnetic radiation. As a result of functionally integrating the locking function into the shielding sleeve, the number of required components is reduced, thus improving the manufacturability of the electrical plug connector.

[0027] The at least one vibration suppressor may optionally comprise at least one positioning element, against which the locking device at least partially abuts. In particular, the at least one positioning element may be arranged on a cover surface of the at least one vibration suppressor, i.e. on a surface accessible from the outside to the at least one cable duct, and may for example be in the form of a shoulder. The locking device optionally fits into the at least one positioning element in the form of a shoulder and is thus locked against forces acting in the axial direction, i.e. in the plug-in direction.

[0028] An electrical plug connection comprising an electrical plug connector according to the above-described embodiment and a mating connector configured to be complementary to the electrical plug connector likewise satisfies the above-mentioned underlying object, the mating connector comprising a mating contact for each electrical contact element of the electrical plug connector. The advantages explained above result in an increased vibration resistance and an improved wear behavior of the electrical plug connection, in particular by means of at least one vibration suppressor.

[0029] The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings using several embodiments, the various features of which can be combined with one another in any way according to the above. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Figure 7] 1 is a schematic perspective cross-sectional view of an electrical plug connection of the present invention according to a possible embodiment; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0031] First, a schematic structure of a connector housing 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Then, a schematic structure of an electric plug connector 2 according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 2 to 6. Finally, an electric plug connection portion 4 according to the present invention will be briefly described with reference to Fig. 7.

[0032] The connector housing 1 according to the invention can be configured to have two parts, as shown in Fig. 1. One part 6 of the connector housing 1 is in the form of an elongated hollow 8. At least one cable duct 10, for example two cable ducts 10a, 10b, can extend through the hollow 8 along the plugging direction 12. The two cable ducts 10a, 10b can each be partially separated from each other by a bulkhead 14. The other part 16 of the connector housing 1 can be a vibration suppressor 18, also as shown in Fig. 1, and can be pivoted into the two cable ducts 10a, 10b about a pivot axis 20.

[0033] 1-3 aligned perpendicular to the plug-in direction 12. The pivot axis 20 may also extend parallel or obliquely to the plug-in direction 12.

[0034] The vibration suppressor 18 is preferably pivotally held by a hinge 22 at the outer surface 24 of the hollow 8. The hinge 22 may consist of 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. In FIG. 1, the holes 28 of the hinge 22 are shown partially open. Alternatively, these holes 28 or at least one hole 26 may be closed in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, the holes 28 may be arranged, for example, in the hollow 8. The pins 26 are arranged correspondingly to the vibration suppressor 18. Of course, this arrangement may be reversed or mixed.

[0035] Alternatively, the vibration suppressor 18 may also be attached to the outer surface 24 of the hollow section 8 by a living hinge (not shown) or a snap hinge (not shown). In particular, the hollow section 8 and the vibration suppressor 18 may be formed as one piece.

[0036] In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 7, the connector housing 1 includes only one vibration suppressor 18. Two or more vibration suppressors may be provided depending on the number and positions of the electric cables 30 to be passed through the connector housing 1. In this case, the vibration suppressors may be arranged in the connector housing 1 with uniform or non-uniform length interval offset. The offset may also be provided at uniform or non-uniform angle intervals.

[0037] The vibration suppressor 18 may have the shape shown in Fig. 1. In particular, the vibration suppressor 18 may be configured as a clamping device 32 with two leg-like projections 34. The leg-like projections 34 extend parallel to one another along the pivoting direction 36. The leg-like projections 34 may each be configured to have a wedge shape, in particular a wedge-like profile 38. As shown in Fig. 5, the wedge-like profile 38 may be curved and may taper along the pivoting direction 36, i.e. perpendicular to the plug-in direction 12. A straight wedge-like profile is also suitable.

[0038] The vibration suppressor 18 may further comprise an arm 40 configured as a lever 42 and connecting the leg-like projection 34 to the hinge 22 .

[0039] 1, the vibration suppressor 18 may comprise at least one, and preferably several, latching elements 44. The latching elements 44 may protrude from the vibration suppressor 18, more precisely from the leg-like projections 34 and / or from the arms 40 of the vibration suppressor 18, in the form of engagement tabs 46a, 46b.

[0040] In particular, the engagement tabs 46a of the leg-like projections 34 can engage with the outer edge 48 of the hollow portion 8, i.e., establish a latching connection 50, so that the vibration suppressor 18 can be latched in a pre-pivot position 52, as shown in FIG. 2.

[0041] The engagement tab 46b on the arm 40 can be used to latch the vibration suppressor 18 in a pivoted position 54. This is shown in FIG.

[0042] At least one bulkhead 14 can be provided with a cutout 56, which for example extends parallel to the plug-in direction 12 on two faces 58 arranged on either side of the at least one bulkhead 14. This is shown in FIG.

[0043] In Fig. 2 it can be seen that the hollow portion 8 further comprises contact chambers 60, each serving to receive an electrical contact element 62. The contact chambers 60 are arranged at an axial end 64 of the hollow portion 8. Each cable duct 10 opens into one contact chamber 60. As further shown in Fig. 2, the connector housing 1 can be part of an electrical connector 2, in which one electrical contact element 62 is held in each contact chamber 60 by latching by means of a latching spade 66. Each electrical contact element 62 is crimped onto a clamping portion 68, for example to one end 70 of the electrical cable 30. Alternatively, the contact elements 62 and the cable 30 can also be connected by screwing, welding or soldering.

[0044] The electrical cables 30 preferably pass through the associated cable duct 10, over the cut-out 56 and into the respective contact chambers 60. In other words, the electrical cables 30 can extend at least partially parallel to the cut-out 56 through the associated cable duct 10.

[0045] When the vibration suppressor 18 is in the pre-pivot position 52 of FIG. 2, each electric cable 30 is arranged to float freely in the associated cable duct 10. Each electric cable 30 has a predefined natural frequency corresponding to a free-floating length 74. By pivoting the vibration suppressor 18 to the pivoted state 54 of FIG. 3, the electric cable 30 is clamped between one leg-like projection 34 and at least one bulkhead 14 in a cross section 76 of the connector housing 1 perpendicular to the plugging direction 12. More specifically, each electric cable 30 is clamped between an inner surface 78 of each leg-like projection 34, i.e. the surface facing inwards with respect to the cable duct 10, and at least one bulkhead 14. Thereby, the electric cable 30 is also pressed into the respective cutout 56. These conditions can be seen by examining Figures 4 and 5. Here, the inside width 80 of each cable duct 10 is continuously and steplessly reduced by the wedge-shaped profile 38 of the leg-like projection 34 projecting into the cable duct 10. The inside width 80 is reduced to a size equal to or smaller than the outside diameter 82 of the electric cable 30 passed through the cable duct 10.

[0046] Alternatively or additionally, the vibration suppressor 18 may reduce the clearance height, inside diameter, narrowest inside dimension, or shortest distance between two interior walls 96 of the corresponding cable duct 10 .

[0047] As can be seen from Figure 3, the length 84 of the free-floating portion 86 of the electrical cable 30 is shortened by being clamped by the vibration suppressor 18. As a result, the electrical cable 30 is restricted in terms of its freedom of movement. The electrical cable 30 now has a changed, preferably higher, natural frequency. In particular, the electrical cable 30 and the electrical contact elements 62 attached to the electrical cable 30 become less susceptible to vibrations.

[0048] 5, the pivoted position 54 of the vibration suppressor 18 clamps, among other things, the cable insulation 88 of the respective electrical cable 30. If the hollow portion 8 and the vibration suppressor 18 are each made of a non-conductive material, the electrical conductor 90 of the respective electrical cable 30 can also be clamped directly.

[0049] It can also be seen in Fig. 5 that the vibration suppressor 18 can be locked in the pivoted state 54 by at least one force-fit connection 92. More precisely, at least one outer surface 94, preferably two oppositely arranged outer surfaces 94a, 94b facing away from each other, can each establish a force-fit connection 92 with an inner wall 96a, 96b of the hollow portion 8. For this purpose, a spacing 98 between the outer surfaces 94a, 94b can be of a size equal to or larger than the spacing 100 between the inner walls 96a, 96b. Optionally, this can also be a friction engagement or a positive substance fit connection.

[0050] 6 shows an enlarged partial view in cross section of the electrical plug connector 2 according to the invention. As can be seen from this cross section, the hollow portion 8 and the vibration suppressor 18 can be at least partially or completely surrounded by a locking device 102, which holds the vibration suppressor 18 in the pivoted position 54 in addition to or as an alternative to the above-described latch element 44 and / or the force-fit connection 92. In particular, a shielding sleeve 104, which shields against electromagnetic radiation, can be used as the locking device 102.

[0051] By applying the locking device 102, the hollow 8 and / or the vibration suppressor 18 can be provided with at least one positioning element 106, which is arranged on the cover surface 108 of the hollow 8 and / or the vibration suppressor 18 and forms a shoulder 110. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the 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 can fit into the at least one positioning element 106 formed as a shoulder 110 and fix the locking device 102 axially. In other words, a portion 114 of the locking device 102 can project into the recess 112 perpendicular to the plug-in direction 12, thus establishing a positive fit connection 116, which makes it possible to absorb forces acting in the plug-in direction 12.

[0052] In Fig. 7 an exemplary embodiment of an electrical plug connection 4 according to the invention is shown. The electrical plug connection 4 comprises an electrical plug connector 2, for example configured according to the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, the electrical plug connection 4 comprises a mating connector 118 configured to be complementary to the electrical plug connector 2, a mating contact 120 being provided for each electrical contact element 62 of the electrical plug connector 2. The mating connector 118 can further comprise a vibration suppressor 18' configured as a sliding part 122. The sliding part 122 is introduced into the connector housing 1' of the mating connector 118 by a translational sliding movement rather than a pivoting movement. In alternative embodiments, the vibration suppressor 18 can also be configured as a pressing element or a cross-section adjustment part. [Explanation of symbols]
