Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a plug arrangement comprising a housing part for a plug that can be plugged into a mating plug along a plug-connection direction, and a pivotable lever that can be attached to the housing part. [Background technology]

[0002] The pivot lever can be used, for example, to move the plug relative to the mating plug, to push the plug into the mating plug, or to push the mating plug into the plug. Alternatively or additionally, the pivot lever can be used to lock the plug to the mating plug.

[0003] Solutions are known which allow the pivoting lever to be pivoted from an initial position to a final position in the mounted state, in which the device has a blocking element which is movable from a blocking position to a release position, in which the blocking element blocks the pivoting of the pivoting lever from the initial position and in which the blocking element releases the pivoting of the pivoting lever in the release position.

[0004] However, these solutions are often complicated to assemble and disassemble. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a solution that allows easy assembly and disassembly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] According to the invention, this is solved by a blocking element having a drive element which can be actuated by the mating plug and by means of which the blocking element is moved into a blocking position by the mating plug.

[0007] This solution has the advantage that when the plug is disconnected from the mating plug, the blocking element can be pulled into the blocking position by the mating plug, and when the mating plug is subsequently inserted, there is no need to adjust the pivot lever, which simplifies assembly and disassembly.

[0008] The solution according to the invention can be further improved by the following further developments and configurations, which are each individually preferred and can be combined with one another as desired.

[0009] The movement of the blocking element into the blocking position can be automatic when the plug is disconnected from the mating plug, thereby eliminating the need for an additional manual or mechanical actuation step for movement.

[0010] According to a further configuration, the blocking element can be moved from the release position to the blocking position during decoupling, thereby simplifying operation by, for example, eliminating the additional step of manually moving the blocking element from the release position to another position and then from there to the blocking position.

[0011] The drive element may be part of a drive mechanism that also includes other elements of the mating plug, for example. Existing portions or regions of the mating plug may be used in the drive mechanism to allow continued use of conventional mating plugs. In other configurations, there may be a specially configured new element in the mating plug that is part of the drive mechanism.

[0012] In the initial position, it may be possible to connect the plug to a mating plug, in particular to insert or plug the plug along a plug-in direction.

[0013] In the final position, the plug can be fixed to the mating plug, in particular against being pulled apart in the opposite plug-in direction.

[0014] According to a preferred configuration, the drive element can have a form-fitting element that interacts with the mating plug. Such a solution allows for simple and safe actuation. In particular, form-fitting elements that act against the plug-connection direction may be present on the drive element. The mating plug can have a mating element that interacts (form-fits) with the form-fitting element of the drive element. The form-fitting element can be, for example, a protrusion, a recess, a stop, or a latch element. In particular, the form-fitting element can act against the plug-connection direction. The form-fitting element can have a form-fitting or abutment surface that faces opposite to the plug-connection direction. For example, the form-fitting element extends perpendicular to the plug-connection direction or at a slight incline relative to a plane that extends perpendicular to the plug-connection direction. A corresponding mating element, whose surface extends in the opposite direction, may also be present on the mating plug. In particular, the surfaces of the interacting form-fitting elements may be at least partially complementary to each other.

[0015] Instead of or in addition to form-fit actuation, other principles may be used, such as force-fit, i.e. the force acting perpendicular to the plug connection direction between two interacting surfaces is large enough to move the blocking element into the blocking position due to the friction that is present.

[0016] Another possible principle is actuation by a sufficiently large magnetic or electric force between two interacting elements.

[0017] In one possible configuration, the drive element can be configured to interact with the mating plug only in the initial position. Outside the initial position, and especially in the final position, the drive element may have no driving effect on the mating plug. For example, the form-fitting element can be released.

[0018] The drive element may be specially configured to automatically activate, i.e., to achieve a drive effect on the mating plug, when the pivot lever is moved to the initial position. In the case of form-fit drive, for example, form-fit may be present in the activated state, i.e., corresponding parts engage with each other. On the other hand, the drive element may be configured to automatically deactivate when the pivot lever is pivoted from the initial position and / or moved to the final position. Deactivation here means that no or only insufficient drive effect on the mating plug is achieved. In the special case of form-fit drive, there is no corresponding form-fit in the activated state, i.e., corresponding parts do not engage with each other.

[0019] In another configuration, the actuating element may be actuated in all positions, in particular of the pivot lever, other than the initial position.

[0020] According to a preferred embodiment, the drive element may be configured to be deactivated when the blocking element reaches or passes the blocking position, thereby allowing for a simple operation. The plug can then be easily disconnected from the mating plug. Deactivation can be automatic when the blocking position is reached, thereby avoiding the need for an additional manual or mechanical deactivation step.

[0021] Alternatively or additionally, the drive element may be configured to deactivate when a predetermined tensile force between the plug and the mating plug is exceeded. Again, the deactivation may be automatic. This solution allows the plug to be easily separated from the mating plug by pulling them apart. The blocking element is driven by the mating plug as long as the predetermined tensile force is not reached. Once the blocking position is reached or exceeded, the tensile force increases and the drive element is deactivated. The magnitude of such a predetermined tensile force may be specified in a national, international, in-house, or other standard.

[0022] The drive element may be configured, for example, so that a defined reaction force occurs as soon as the blocking position is reached or exceeded. Before reaching the blocking position, the reaction force may be primarily determined, for example, by sliding friction that occurs when the blocking element moves relative to other components, such as a pivot lever or a housing part. Once the blocking position is reached, additional mechanisms may be introduced, such as form-fitting of surfaces that extend perpendicular to the plugging direction or at a slight incline relative to the vertical. In the latter case, if at least one of the surfaces involved is attached to an element that can be deflected perpendicular to the plugging direction, deflection perpendicular to the plugging direction can be achieved, for example, by applying a correspondingly large force. This allows the surface to be automatically released. The strength of the force required for sufficient deflection of the deflectable element can be varied as desired by selecting an appropriate length, thickness, and width of the material. The inclination angle of the surface can also be adjusted accordingly.

[0023] The blocking element can be movably mounted, in particular displaceably mounted, on the pivot lever. For this purpose, a bearing element can be provided on the blocking element and / or on the pivot lever. The bearing element can be formed, for example, as a protrusion or recess, such as a strip or a groove.

[0024] The blocking element and the pivot lever can be separate parts, can be manufactured separately and then attached to each other, or can be made of different materials, for example, to suitably perform different functions.

[0025] In a preferred configuration, the blocking element can be guided in a pivoting lever. The blocking element and / or the pivoting lever can have a rotational or translational, in particular linear, guide element.

[0026] The blocking element may move with the pivot lever. One of the blocking element and the pivot lever may be configured such that pivoting of the pivot lever also moves the blocking element.

[0027] According to one embodiment, the blocking element can have a fixing element configured to automatically fix the blocking element to the housing part when the pivot lever reaches its final position, where fixing in this case means in particular fixing against unintentional deflection from the final position. The pivot lever can be indirectly fixed to the housing part via the blocking element.

[0028] The locking element may be, for example, a latching element that allows for latching with the housing part, may be part of a locking mechanism that uses an existing housing part or element, or may comprise at least one specially configured new mating element of the housing part.

[0029] To minimize the space required and / or allow automatic locking, the blocking element can be moved to a blocking position when the pivot lever is in the final position. In another configuration, the blocking element can be moved to an intermediate position between the blocking position and the release position, and the blocking element can be locked in the intermediate position, thereby reducing the space required.

[0030] The plug device can have a stop mechanism that prevents the blocking element from moving from the release position, in particular to the blocking position, when the plug is not fully plugged into the mating plug. The stop mechanism can have a stop element on the blocking element that can be released by the mating plug. This can be, for example, a latch element that can be deflected by a protrusion on the mating plug, which latch element prevents movement when not in the deflected state. In the event of an attempt to move, the stop element can abut against a mating element that is, for example, attached to a pivot lever. The stop mechanism is preferably configured so that the blocking element can be returned to the release position.

[0031] According to a preferred configuration, the removal element by which the fixation element is removed can be arranged to be inaccessible in the blocking position. This can prevent unintentional removal. In this context, inaccessible particularly means inaccessible to the user or the device. This can be defined, for example, by the inability of a standardized test finger to reach the element. In particular, in the blocking position, no access should be possible along the release direction. The release direction can be defined as the direction in which a force must be applied to the removal element to remove the fixation element. In particular, the removal element can be fully accessible only in the release position. In other positions, the removal element can be at least partially accessible.

[0032] One possible embodiment is that in the blocking position the removal element is covered by the pivot lever, in other words a part of the pivot lever can cover or shield the removal element at least along the release direction.

[0033] To increase the lever length and thereby reduce the force required for pivoting, the blocking element may be an extension of the pivot lever, at least in the release position. In other positions, particularly in the blocking position, the blocking element may not significantly extend the lever length. A maximum of 1.1 times the lever length of the pivot lever is not considered to be a significant extension. In this context, the lever length may be measured between the pivot axis (e.g., the central axis of the shaft) and the outer end of the actuating part and / or pivot lever.

[0034] One possible actuation configuration is for the blocking element to be pulled into the blocking position by the mating plug, which may allow for simple and safe power transmission.

[0035] In an alternative configuration, the actuation can be configured as a push, i.e. the blocking element is pushed or pressed into a blocking position by the mating plug.

[0036] In addition to the preferably automatic movement to the blocking position, the plug device may be configured so that the blocking element can be moved, in particular moved, by the mating plug to the release position. This can be done automatically, for example, when the plug and the mating plug are plugged together, resulting in easier operation. In particular, the blocking element can be moved from the blocking position to the release position by the mating plug.

[0037] Similar to the latching mechanism described for the drive element, there may be a form fit in the plug-in direction that automatically releases when a defined force is exceeded.

[0038] According to one possible configuration, the pivot lever can be moved only rotationally relative to the housing part, but not translationally, which can simplify the configuration.

[0039] The plug device may further comprise at least one housing part of a mating plug.

[0040] Furthermore, the plug device can have a pulling mechanism that pulls the plug toward the mating plug when the pivot lever moves from the initial position to the final position. Such a pulling mechanism can be configured, for example, as a toothed mechanism having a gear, a gear rack, or the like, or as a spiral guide mechanism having a protrusion and a spiral guide.

[0041] Alternatively, the driving element may be referred to as a return element, since the driving element returns the blocking element to the blocking position.

[0042] The present invention will be described in more detail below using preferred configurations with reference to the drawings. The preferred further developments and configurations shown herein are each independent of each other and can be combined with each other as desired according to the needs of the application.

[Figure 6] 1 is a schematic, partially cutaway perspective view of a preferred configuration of a retention mechanism; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0044] 1 to 5 show a first embodiment of a plug device 100. Figure 6 shows a special configuration of a retention mechanism 99 that can also be used in the first embodiment, for example.

[0045] The plug device 100 in each case comprises a housing part 20 of a plug 120. The plug 120 may be, for example, an electrical plug through which power or signals are transmitted. For this purpose, further elements, in particular electrical contact elements (not shown), may be present in the plug 120. The illustrated plug 120 may thus be connected to a cable and then used to transmit power or signals to a mating plug 200. The illustrated mating plug 200 is configured, for example, as a header that can be attached to a product housing.

[0046] In other configurations, other plugs are also possible, for example for the transmission of optical signals, for pneumatic or hydraulic connections, etc. It is also possible to use connectors that are not necessarily plugged in.

[0047] The plug 120 is configured to be plugged into the mating plug 200 along the plug-connection direction S. In a first step, the plug 120 is easily plugged into the mating plug 200, for example manually. To then generate a higher pressing or mating force, the plug device 100 has a pivotable lever 30 that can be attached to the housing part 20. The illustrated pivotable lever 30 can only move rotationally and therefore pivot relative to the housing part 20. In other configurations, at least some positions of the pivotable lever 30 relative to the housing part 20 may be provided with at least partial translational relative mobility.

[0048] To move the plug 21 and the counter plug 200 towards each other, the plug device 100 has a pulling mechanism 250, here configured as a toothed mechanism 260. A gear rack 262 on the housing part 220 of the counter plug 200 and teeth 261 formed on a gear segment 263 of the swivel lever 30 engage with each other and convert the pivoting movement of the swivel lever 30 along the pivot direction L into a translational relative movement. Due to the lever effect, the force required for this, which must be applied to the actuating part 37 of the swivel lever 30, can be made relatively small.

[0049] In the example shown, the pivot lever 30 can be moved, in particular rotated, from an initial position 31 to a final position 32. The pivot lever 30 abuts against a stop, which prevents pivoting beyond the initial position 31 and the final position 32. However, in other configurations, pivoting beyond the initial position 31 and / or the final position 32 may also be possible.

[0050] However, it is only possible to pivot the swivel lever 30 from the initial position 31 when the blocking element 40 is in the release position 42. On the other hand, when the blocking element 40 is in the blocking position 41, the swivel lever 30 is blocked by the blocking element 40 from pivoting relative to the housing part 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the blocking element 40 is attached to the swivel lever 30 and is guided so as to be displaceable relative to the swivel lever 30. The blocking position 41 and the release position 42 here refer to the relative positions of the swivel lever 30 with respect to the blocking element 40. The blocking effect of the blocking element 40 is achieved here by a form-fitting element 43 of the blocking element 40 in the form of a protruding arm 44 engaging in a recess 48 in the housing part 20.

[0051] To release the blocking effect 49 achieved by the blocking element 40 and the recess 48, the blocking element 40 is moved in a direction away from the shaft 23 of the housing part 20 on which the swivel lever 30 is mounted, and thus in the example shown, against the plug-in direction S. This is achieved here by the housing part 220 of the counter plug 200 when the counter plug 200 is plugged into the plug 20. The blocking element 40 therefore moves automatically to the release position 42 without any additional specific action by the user or by the device of the blocking element 40.

[0052] The blocking element 40 simultaneously forms the extension element 35 of the pivot lever 30, thereby extending the lever length 39 and further minimizing the force required for pivoting. Furthermore, such a configuration has the advantage that, for example, in the transport state shown in FIG. 1, the lever length 39 is relatively short, thus reducing the risk of damage. The lever length 39 is defined here as the distance between the actuating portion 37, located between the two lever portions 38, and the central axis or rotation axis of the shaft 23. At the same time, the plug device 100 is already held in the configuration required for the plugging process by the blocking mechanism 49. In particular, the pivot position of the pivot lever 30 is fixed in the initial position 31.

[0053] To secure the blocking element 40 against unintentional displacement from the blocking position 41, a retention mechanism 99 (see, for example, a particularly preferred configuration in FIG. 6 ) can be provided. In the illustrated example, the retention mechanism 99 comprises a retention element 95 formed integrally with the rest of the blocking element 40, which in particular has an outwardly projecting, resiliently inwardly deflectable projection 97 that can latch into a recess 96 and projection 97 of the rotating or pivoting lever 30. Due to the fact that the surface 98 of the projection 97 does not extend exactly perpendicular to the direction of movement of the blocking element 40 relative to the pivoting lever 30, but is slightly inclined, the blocking effect is automatically counteracted by the retention mechanism 99 when the force exerted by the mating plug 20 on the blocking element 40 exceeds a certain threshold. The projection 95 then resiliently deflects and is released from the projection 97.

[0054] The swivel lever 30 then pivots from the initial position 31 in the direction of rotation D to a final position 32 offset by 90 degrees, whereby the swivel lever 30 lies on the housing part 20. Once the final position 32 is reached, the swivel lever 30 is automatically fixed relative to the housing part 20 by a locking mechanism 79. This is achieved by a locking element 70 in the form of a latch element 71 of the blocking element 40 latching onto a corresponding element 75 of the housing part 20. These elements are configured as form-fitting elements 74, 76, which, in the latched state, achieve a form-fit between the blocking element 40 and the housing part 20. In this state, the blocking element 40 can only be displaced relative to the swivel lever 30 along a lateral direction Q1 parallel to the upper side of the housing 20, thereby indirectly fastening the swivel lever 30 to the housing part 20.

[0055] The locking element 70 of the blocking element 40 is configured as a protrusion 73 that projects inward from the arm 72 towards the housing 20. The element 75 of the housing part 20 is configured as a ledge 77, which allows movement of the locking element 70, and thus the blocking element 40, along a first lateral direction Q1 that is parallel to the upper side of the housing 20. Thus, the blocking element 40 can be moved from the release position 42 back to the blocking position 41.

[0056] However, such movement is only possible if the stop mechanism 94 is deactivated by the housing part 220 of the mating plug 20. Activation is achieved by a protrusion 91 on the housing part 220, which protrudes through the housing part 20 of the plug 120 and resiliently deflects the stop element 90 of the blocking element 40 only when the plug 120 is fully plugged into the mating plug 200 (here, in particular the housing parts 20, 220). Here, the stop element 90 also includes a protrusion 92 protruding from a resiliently deflectable arm 93. The stop element 90 is also integral with the rest of the blocking element 40.

[0057] As with other mechanisms, an inclined overrun ramp can be provided on the side opposite the stop to allow for easy return to the stop position.

[0058] Advantageously, the stop element 90 of the stop mechanism 94 can simultaneously function as the retaining element 95 of the retaining mechanism 99. This reduces complexity and weight and allows for simple manufacture.

[0059] To release the latch caused by the fixing mechanism 79, a removal element 80 is provided on the blocking element 40. It is configured as a pusher 81, in which a push along a release direction L extending perpendicular to the upper side of the housing part 20 is converted into a removal movement on the fixing surface 70. The removal element 80 is integrally connected to the fixing element 70 and to the rest of the blocking element 40. A bearing allowing sufficient mobility is realized by a thin material bridge 82.

[0060] 3, the blocking element 40 is already in the blocking position 41. There, the detachment element 80 is covered by the swivel lever 30, which is shown transparently. The user therefore has no access to the detachment element 80. The signal part 87 is visible to the user through the opening 88 in the swivel lever 30, allowing the user (or a suitable device) to recognize that a complete plug connection with the fastening device exists.

[0061] The disconnection of the plug 120 from the mating plug 200 is performed in the reverse order, i.e. from Figure 3 to Figure 2 and then to Figure 1. The blocking element 40 moves to the release position 42 relative to the pivot lever 30. By actuating the removal element 80, the form fit between the locking element 40 and the housing part 20 is cancelled, so that the pivot lever 30 can be returned from the final position 32 to the initial position 31 against the first lateral direction Q1.

[0062] The plug device 100 shown here also advantageously comprises a drive mechanism 59, by means of which the blocking element 40 can be automatically returned by the counter plug 200 from the release position 42 to the blocking position 41 when the pivot lever 30 is in the initial position 31 and the counter plug 202 is disconnected or withdrawn from the plug 120. In the example shown, the drive mechanism 59 is only activated in the initial position 31 of the pivot lever 30. Outside the initial position 31, and in particular in the final position 32, the drive mechanism 59 is deactivated.

[0063] The drive mechanism 59 is also based on the form-fit principle. The drive element 50 of the blocking element 40 engages in a form-fitting manner in a recess 62 in the housing part 220 of the mating plug 200. The upper boundary of the recess 62 forms a mating element 61 for the drive element 50. The drive element 50 and the mating element 61 include arms 52 or 63. The latch protrusion 53 of the drive element 50 serves as a form-fitting element 54, which interacts with a form-fitting element 65 in the housing 21 of the mating plug 200.

[0064] In the illustrated embodiment, the drive mechanism 59 is configured to automatically deactivate, i.e., in this case, the form-fitting elements 54, 65 are released when the blocking position 41 is reached. This is achieved by the fact that the surface 55 of the form-fitting element 54 does not extend completely perpendicular to the direction of relative movement between the blocking element 40 and the housing part 220, which is limited by the corresponding guide element. Instead, the surface 55, which interacts with the surface 66 of the counter element 61 in the latched state, is slightly inclined relative to a plane extending perpendicular to this direction. By appropriately dimensioning the width, thickness, and length of the arm 52 and the inclination of the surface 55, taking into account the selected material, it is possible to identify a predetermined force threshold beyond which the force is converted by the counter plug 200 into sufficient deflection of the latch protrusion 53, which is then pushed out of engagement with the counter element 61. Before reaching the blocking position 41, the force applied by the mating plug 200 simply causes a displacement of the blocking element 40 relative to the pivot lever 30. The force required for this is much smaller, as it only has to overcome the friction between the blocking element 40 and the pivot lever 30. The drive mechanism 59 automatically moves the blocking element 40 to the blocking position 41 without any further action by the user, thereby fixing the pivot lever 30 in the initial position 31 required for connection with the mating plug 30.

[0065] The retention mechanism 99 shown in FIG. 6 is based on the same principle, caused by a certain force by an inclined surface, in this case the surface 98 of the protrusion 97.

[0066] In the illustrated example, the deflection of the latch protrusion 53 occurs in a second lateral direction Q2 extending perpendicular to the plug connection direction S. In other embodiments, such deflection may occur along a first lateral direction Q1 extending perpendicular to the plug connection direction S and perpendicular to the second lateral direction Q2.

[0067] According to the preferred configuration shown, elements of the blocking mechanism 49 also function as elements of the drive mechanism 59. For example, the arm 44 of the blocking mechanism 49 is also the arm 52 of the drive element 50.

[0068] The various solutions and mechanisms shown (49, 59, 79, 94, 99) are independent of each other and may each represent an independent solution of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
