Description

[0001] Connector holder, connector, vehicle and method for fastening an electrical connector

[0002] The present invention relates to a connector holder, an electrical connector, a vehicle and a method for fastening an electrical connector.

[0003] A modern vehicle may have a multitude of electrical cables for distributing electrical energy to vehicle components and for transmitting data between vehicle components, as well as a multitude of electrical components, such as control units, with a constant interest in keeping the number of vehicle parts to a minimum.

[0004] When distributing electrical energy and / or transmitting data via electrical cables, as well as when operating vehicle components, electrical, magnetic and / or electromagnetic fields may occur and cause unwanted interference that may impair the function of the vehicle or at least individual components of the vehicle.

[0005] An electrical cable, in particular a data cable, with two electrical conductors can be used to transmit data, wherein twisting the two electrical conductors can reduce mutual interference between the two electrical conductors over a large length of the electrical cable. When two electrical cables are connected by means of an electrical plug connection, each of the two electrical cables having at least two electrical conductors, the respective two electrical conductors are, however, untwisted at least in sections at a respective end of a respective electrical cable of the two electrical cables. Disadvantageously, the electrical cable can therefore be particularly sensitive to interference in this section, i.e. in the area of ​​the electrical plug connection.

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to at least partially remedy the disadvantages described above. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a connector holder by means of which the interference on individual electrically conductive "paths" or connections or on at least one electrical connector is kept particularly low and / or which is of particularly simple design and / or particularly cost-effective and / or particularly easy to install, in particular can be installed on a vehicle together with at least two connectors arranged next to one another as an electrical plug connection. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a method in which an electrical plug connection, in particular an electrical plug connection of a vehicle, can be attached to a counter-fastening element, in particular to a vehicle, in a particularly simple and / or cost-effective and / or secure manner.

[0007] The above object is achieved by a connector holder having the features of claim 1 and an electrical plug connection having the features of the claim and a vehicle having the features of claim 9, as well as a method having the features of claim 10. Further features and details of the invention emerge from the subclaims, the description, and the drawings. Features and details described in connection with the connector holder according to the invention naturally also apply in connection with the plug connection according to the invention and / or the vehicle and / or the method, and vice versa, so that reference can always be made to the individual aspects of the invention with regard to the disclosure.

[0008] According to a first aspect, the present invention shows a connector holder for holding at least one connector of an electrical line of a vehicle, wherein the connector holder extends in a longitudinal direction, and wherein the connector holder has a connector receiving section with at least one receiving element for receiving, in particular for receiving and holding the at least one connector in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner, wherein at least the at least one receiving element is designed to be metallic, at least in sections, in order to shield the at least one connector at least in regions from at least one source of interference, and wherein the at least one receiving element has at least one guide opening for guiding the at least one connector, in particular for guiding a fastening element of the at least one connector, in the connector holder.

[0009] The term "metallic acting" is intended to express that a material is used that is at least electrically conductive or both electrically conductive and magnetically conductive. An electrically conductive material is understood to mean, in particular, a material that has an electrical conductivity of at least 1*10 5 S / m (Siemens per meter), in particular of at least 1*10 6 S / m. The at least one guide opening of the at least one receiving element of the plug receiving section of the connector holder can also be understood as a guide recess or as a guide notch, in particular as a guide slot. In particular, the at least one guide opening is designed to be rectilinear. Thus, a guide slot as the at least one guide opening can be produced particularly easily, for example, by a separation process.

[0010] In particular, the connector receiving section of the at least one connector holder has a plurality of receiving elements for receiving and holding a plurality of connectors of the vehicle. In particular, the plurality of receiving elements are each configured to be metallic, at least in sections, in order to shield a respective connector of the plurality of connectors at least in part. In particular, the plurality of connectors are associated with different electrical connectors. In other words, the connector holder can be configured such that the connector holder can hold connectors of a plurality of electrical connectors. For example, the plurality of receiving elements can be arranged parallel to one another.

[0011] Due to the at least partially metallic design of the at least one receiving element of the plug receiving section of the plug connector holder, the at least one plug connector or respective individual electrically conductive “paths” or connections of an electrical plug connection can be particularly advantageously shielded from electrical and / or magnetic and / or electromagnetic fields of a source of interference, in particular an external source of interference. Through the at least one guide opening, the at least one plug connector with a, for example, pine cone-shaped, fastening element can be guided into or in the plug connector holder, in particular into a receiving interior of the receiving element. The at least one plug connector with the fastening element can therefore be moved in the at least one guide opening of the at least one plug connector holder relative to the plug connector holder, for example.The connector holder is pushed onto the at least one connector or several connectors arranged next to one another. Consequently, on the one hand, electrical shielding of the respective individual electrically conductive "paths" or connections of the electrical connector can be achieved, and, furthermore, the electrical connector connection can be made in a particularly simple manner with the at least one connector or several connectors arranged next to one another and with the connector holder to a counter-fastening element, for example, to a counter-fastening element of a vehicle.

[0012] It can be advantageous in a connector holder according to the invention that the at least one receiving element has an opening that is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the connector holder in order to form a receiving interior for receiving the at least one connector, wherein the at least one receiving element has the at least one guide opening on a casing side of the at least one receiving element. The at least one connector can thus be received and shielded by the at least one receiving element in a particularly advantageous manner. For example, the at least one receiving element that has the continuous opening in the longitudinal direction of the connector holder is designed like a hollow body. The at least one connector or respective individual electrically conductive “paths” or

[0013] Connections of an electrical plug connection can be shielded particularly advantageously. In particular, in the hollow-body-shaped receiving element, the at least one guide opening extends, starting from an end face of the hollow-body-shaped receiving element, at least partially in the longitudinal direction or substantially in the longitudinal direction of the connector holder. Thus, sliding the connector holder in the longitudinal direction of the at least one connector is particularly easy.

[0014] In a connector holder according to the invention, it can be advantageous for the at least one receiving element to extend in a circumferential direction around the longitudinal direction of the connector holder such that the at least one receiving element forms a jaw shape with a jaw opening and the receiving interior for receiving the at least one connector. Thus, the at least one connector can be inserted through the jaw opening into the receiving interior of the at least one receiving element. In particular, the insertion of the at least one connector or two adjacent connectors takes place transversely or substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connector holder through the jaw opening of the at least one receiving element.It is additionally conceivable for the connector receiving section to have a cover body, in particular a cover body that can be folded and / or fastened with a force-locking and form-fitting connection, for at least partially covering the jaw opening, wherein the cover body is designed to have a metallic effect at least in sections, preferably a completely metallic effect, in order to additionally shield the at least one connector at least in some areas. Thus, the at least one connector can be particularly advantageously shielded from electrical and / or magnetic and / or electromagnetic fields of an interference source, in particular an external interference source. For example, the cover body can be arranged over the jaw opening after the electrical plug connection has been inserted.In particular, in the mouth-shaped receiving element, the at least one guide opening extends, starting from a first mouth end of the mouth-shaped receiving element, at least in sections transversely or substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connector holder. Thus, the at least one connector with the fastening element can be inserted transversely or substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connector holder via the mouth opening and the guide opening into the receiving interior of the at least one receiving element. In particular, the mouth-shaped receiving element is U-shaped or substantially U-shaped in cross-section, with a first leg, a second leg opposite the first leg, and a base connecting the first leg and the second leg. The "mouth end" can be understood here as an end of the first leg or the second leg facing away from the base.

[0015] It can be advantageous in a connector holder according to the invention for the at least one guide opening to be open on at least one side, in particular to be open only on one side. In other words, the at least one guide opening can be an open guide slot, in particular a guide slot that is only open on one side. Thus, the at least one connector can be pre-joined to the at least one fastening element, or the at least one fastening element can be formed integrally with the connector, such that the at least one connector can be inserted together with the at least one fastening element, i.e., as a single unit, for example, into the receiving space of a mouth-shaped connector holder.

[0016] It can be advantageous in a connector holder according to the invention for the at least one guide opening to extend at least partially inclined, preferably at least partially transversely, to the longitudinal direction of the connector holder and / or at least partially in the longitudinal direction of the connector holder. With a guide opening that extends at least partially in the longitudinal direction of the connector holder, the connector holder can be designed like a hollow body and the shielding of the at least one connector can be particularly advantageous. With a guide opening that extends at least partially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connector holder, movement of the at least one connector in the longitudinal direction of the connector holder can be particularly advantageously minimized, in particular prevented.Thus, shielding of the at least one connector can be particularly advantageously ensured. It is also conceivable for the at least one guide opening to extend at least partially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connector holder and at least partially in the longitudinal direction of the connector holder. Thus, unintentional detachment or disassembly of the connector holder and the at least one connector from one another can be particularly advantageously minimized, in particular prevented.

[0017] It can be advantageous in a connector holder according to the invention that the at least one receiving element has at least one holding element for holding the at least one received connector. In this way, unintentional loosening or disassembly of the connector holder and the at least one connector from one another can be particularly advantageously kept to a minimum, in particular prevented. The at least one holding element can have at least one stop or a plurality of stops. In particular, the plurality of stops are arranged on the at least one receiving element in such a way that the at least one received connector is fixed at least in an extension direction of the at least one guide opening, in particular free of play or substantially free of play. For example.In the case of a mouth-shaped receiving element which is U-shaped or substantially U-shaped in cross-section and wherein the at least one guide opening extends transversely or substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the connector holder, a base of the mouth-shaped receiving element can form a first stop and a (high) bead formed on a first mouth end and / or a (high) bead formed on a second mouth end can form a second stop.

[0018] It can be advantageous in a connector holder according to the invention that the at least one receiving element for receiving the at least one connector is made in one piece from a metallic-looking material, in particular is made in one piece from a metallic-looking material and is elastically deformable. This allows a connector holder to be manufactured particularly cost-effectively. In particular, the connector receiving section is made in one piece with the at least one receiving element from a metal, for example an iron, in particular spring steel, aluminum, or brass. Furthermore, the at least one metallic receiving element can have a protective layer applied to the metal, for example a plastic protective layer. This prevents direct contact between the at least one metallic receiving element and the at least one connector.It is further conceivable for the connector holder to be a plastic injection-molded part, wherein at least the at least one receiving element of the connector receiving section of the connector holder has a metallic-looking body, in particular a metallic body, e.g., a metal plate and / or a metal grid, which is at least partially overmolded with plastic, in order to shield the at least one connector at least in some areas. Alternatively, it is also conceivable for the at least one receiving element, in particular the connector holder, to be a one-piece plastic part made from a metallic-looking plastic material, in particular by injection molding.

[0019] According to a second aspect, the present invention provides a plug connection, in particular an electrical plug connection, for a vehicle, wherein the plug connection comprises at least a first plug connector and a second plug connector, wherein the at least one first plug connector is arranged on the second plug connector, and wherein the first plug connector has a fastening section with at least one fastening element for fastening to a counter-fastening element of the vehicle. Furthermore, the plug connection comprises at least one plug connector holder, wherein the at least one plug connector holder is designed according to the invention, in particular as already described for the first aspect of the invention.Furthermore, in the plug connection, at least the first plug connector and / or the second plug connector is received by the at least one receiving element of the plug receiving section of the plug connector holder, in particular received and held in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner, and wherein the at least one fastening element of the fastening section of the first plug connector is at least guided in the at least one guide opening of the at least one receiving element of the plug receiving section of the plug connector holder, in particular guided without play or substantially without play.

[0020] In particular, the at least one fastening element of the fastening section of the first connector, guided in the at least one guide opening, extends away from the at least one connector holder. In other words, the at least one fastening element of the fastening section of the first connector can extend beyond the at least one connector holder in order to be able to fasten the plug connection, preferably in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner, to the mating fastening element of the vehicle, e.g., a vehicle body having a fastening hole, by means of the at least one fastening element. In particular, the at least one fastening element can be detachably arranged on the first connector.For this purpose, the at least one fastening element and the first plug connector can have arrangement sections that correspond to one another for a force-fitting and form-fitting connection of the at least one fastening element to the first plug connector. This makes it particularly easy to arrange different fastening elements for differently designed counter-fastening elements. For example, the first plug connector can have a dovetail groove or a trapezoidal groove and the at least one fastening element can have an arrangement section that corresponds thereto, or a screw connection, a bayonet connection, a clip connection and / or a clamp connection can be formed. It is also conceivable for the at least one fastening element to be or become non-detachably arranged on the first plug connector; for example, a welded connection, a riveted connection and / or an adhesive connection can be formed.Alternatively, it is also conceivable for the at least one fastening element to be formed integrally with the first connector, for example, in a plastic injection molding process. This eliminates the need for an additional step of mounting a separately manufactured fastening element to the first connector.

[0021] It can be advantageous in the plug connection according to the invention for the metallic-looking section of the at least one receiving element of the plug receiving section to extend in the longitudinal direction of the at least one plug connector holder over at least 50% of the length of the electrical plug connection, preferably over at least 70% of the length of the electrical plug connection, very preferably over at least 90% of the length of the electrical plug connection. Thus, the first plug connector and / or the second plug connector or the electrical plug connection can be particularly advantageously shielded from electrical and / or magnetic and / or electromagnetic fields of an interference source, in particular an external interference source.It can also be advantageous in a plug connection according to the invention for the metallic-looking section of the at least one receiving element of the plug receiving section to extend circumferentially around the longitudinal direction of the plug connector holder in such a way that at least 50% of the circumference of the electrical plug connection, preferably at least 70% of the circumference of the electrical plug connection, very preferably at least 90% of the circumference of the electrical plug connection, is encompassed. Thus, the first plug connector and / or the second plug connector or the electrical plug connection can be particularly advantageously shielded from electrical and / or magnetic and / or electromagnetic fields of an interference source, in particular an external interference source. The plug connection according to the second aspect of the invention thus has the same advantages as have already been described for the plug connector holder according to the first aspect of the invention.

[0022] According to a third aspect, the present invention shows a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has at least one connector holder designed according to the invention.

[0023] The vehicle is in particular a motor vehicle, preferably a passenger car, a truck or a motorcycle, for example a motorbike.

[0024] The counter-fastening element of the vehicle can be a fastening hole or a vehicle component, for example a vehicle body, with a fastening hole from a front side of the counter-fastening element facing the connector holder to a rear side of the counter-fastening element opposite the front side, wherein the at least one fastening element of the fastening section of the first connector is designed such that the at least one fastening element engages or can engage behind the counter-fastening element on the rear side of the counter-fastening element by means of the fastening hole in order to hold or fasten the connector holder on and / or to the front side of the counter-fastening element, in particular to hold or fasten it in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner.

[0025] The vehicle according to the third aspect of the invention thus has the same advantages as have already been described for the connector holder according to the first aspect of the invention or the plug connection according to the second aspect of the invention.

[0026] According to a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a method for fastening an electrical plug connection to a mating fastening element, in particular to a mating fastening element of a vehicle. The method comprises, as a step, providing at least one first plug connector and a second plug connector configured to correspond to the first plug connector, wherein at least the first plug connector has a fastening portion with at least one fastening element for fastening to the mating fastening element. The method further comprises, as a step, providing at least one plug connector holder, wherein the at least one plug connector holder is configured according to the invention. The method further comprises, as a step, arranging the first plug connector on the second plug connector.The method further comprises, as a step, fastening the two connectors arranged next to one another to the mating fastening element, in particular to the mating fastening element of the vehicle, by means of the at least one fastening element of the fastening section of the first connector. The method further comprises, as a step, moving the first connector with the fastening element of the fastening section of the first connector in the at least one guide opening of the at least one connector holder relative to at least one connector holder in order to slide the connector holder onto the connector holder.

[0027] The method steps described above and below can, where technically feasible, be carried out individually, together, singly, multiple times, in parallel, and / or sequentially in any desired order. A preferred sequence of the method steps provides for the two connectors and the at least one connector holder to be provided, and the two connectors, i.e., the first connector and the second connector, to be arranged next to one another, in particular plugged together.Subsequently, the two connectors arranged next to one another can be fastened to the counter-fastening element with the at least one fastening element of the fastening section of the first connector, wherein after fastening to the counter-fastening element, the at least one connector holder with the at least one guide opening is moved relative to the first connector with the fastening element in order to slide the connector holder onto the two connectors arranged next to one another.Alternatively, after arranging the two connectors next to one another, in particular after plugging the two connectors together, the at least one connector holder with the at least one guide opening can first be moved relative to the first connector with the fastening element in order to slide the connector holder onto the two connectors arranged next to one another, wherein the two connectors received by the connector holder are then fastened to the counter-fastening element together with the connector holder with the at least one fastening element of the fastening section of the first connector.

[0028] By moving the first connector with the fastening element of the fastening section of the first connector in the at least one guide opening of the at least one connector holder relative to the at least one connector holder for sliding the connector holder on, the first connector is transferred into a holding position, wherein the received first connector is held in the holding position, in particular is held in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner by at least one holding element of the at least one receiving element of the connector receiving section of the connector holder.

[0029] The method according to the fourth aspect of the invention thus has the same advantages as have already been described for the connector holder according to the first aspect of the invention or the plug connection according to the second aspect of the invention or the method according to the third aspect of the invention.

[0030] Further measures improving the invention will become apparent from the following description of some exemplary embodiments of the invention, which are schematically illustrated in the figures.

[0036] In the following figures, identical reference numerals are used for the same technical features, even in different embodiments.

[0037] Fig. 1 discloses, in a perspective view, a connector holder (100) for holding at least one connector (121, 122) of an electrical line (131, 141) of a vehicle (200). For example, the connector holder (100) is U-shaped or substantially U-shaped and is manufactured in one piece from a metal sheet, for example by forming steps and / or separating steps. The connector holder (100) extends in a longitudinal direction (LR), and the connector holder (100) has a connector receiving portion (30) with at least one receiving element (31) for receiving the at least one connector (121, 122).The at least one receiving element (31) is designed to be metallic, at least in sections, in order to shield the at least one connector (121, 122) at least in part from at least one source of interference, and wherein the at least one receiving element (31) has at least one guide opening (33) for guiding the at least one connector (121, 122) in the connector holder (100). The at least one guide opening (33) can be chamfered to facilitate insertion of the fastening element (111) of the at least one connector (121, 122).Furthermore, the at least one receiving element (31) comprises an opening (Ö) formed continuously in the longitudinal direction (LR) of the connector holder (100) in order to form a receiving interior for receiving the at least one connector (121, 122), wherein the at least one receiving element (31) has the at least one guide opening (33) on a casing side (MS) of the at least one receiving element (31). In a circumferential direction (UR) around the longitudinal direction (LR) of the connector holder (100), the at least one receiving element (31) extends such that the at least one receiving element (31) forms a mouth shape with a mouth opening (39) and the receiving interior for receiving the at least one connector (121, 122). For example, the at least one guide opening (33) runs transversely or substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction (LR) of the connector holder (100) and is open at a first mouth end of the mouth-shaped receiving element (31), ieopen on one side, so that the at least one plug connector (121) with at least one fastening element (111) of a fastening section (110) (see, for example, Fig. 2) for fastening to a counter-fastening element (211), for example to a counter-fastening element (211) of a vehicle (200), in the plug connector holder (100) can be guided, in particular into a holding position.

The beads can additionally contribute to the shielding effect. The at least one plug-in connector (121, 122) or two plug-in connectors (121, 122) can thus be inserted laterally, i.e. transversely to the longitudinal direction (LR), via the mouth opening (39) of the mouth-shaped receiving element (31) into the receiving interior, wherein the mouth-shaped receiving element (31) can spread open due to its elastic deformability and spreads closed again upon complete insertion of the at least one plug-in connector (121) in order to hold the at least one plug-in connector (121, 122) or two plug-in connectors (121, 122) along the direction of extent of the guide opening (33).

[0039] Fig. 2 schematically discloses, in a side view, a plug connection (150) for a vehicle (200), as described, for example, in relation to Fig. 3, wherein the plug connection (150) has at least a first plug connector (121) and a second plug connector (122). The first plug connector (121) can be electrically connected to a first electrical line (131), and the second plug connector (122) can be electrically connected to a second electrical line (141). The at least one first plug connector (121) is arranged on the second plug connector (122), and wherein at least the first plug connector (121) has a fastening section (110) with at least one fastening element (111) for fastening to a counter-fastening element (211) of the vehicle (200), for example to a body having a fastening hole.Furthermore, the plug connection (150) comprises at least one connector holder (100), wherein the at least one connector holder (100) is designed according to the invention, for example as described in relation to Fig. 1. Furthermore, at least the first connector (121) or the first connector (121) and the second connector (122) are received by the at least one receiving element (31) of the connector receiving section (30) of the connector holder (100), and wherein the at least one fastening element (111) of the fastening section (110) of the first connector (121) is at least guided in the at least one guide opening (33) of the at least one receiving element (31) of the connector receiving section (30) of the connector holder (100).The at least one fastening element (111) of the fastening section (110) of the first plug connector (121) is in particular designed and guided in such a way that it blocks or prevents movement of the received first plug connector (121) perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the direction of extension of the guide opening (33) and / or to the longitudinal direction (LR) of the plug connector holder (100). In Fig. 2, the two plug connectors (121, 122) received by the plug connector holder (100) are further shown together with the.

[0040] Connector holder (100) with the at least one fastening element (111) of the fastening section (100) of the first connector (121) is fastened to the counter-fastening element (211) in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner, for example by means of a pine cone-shaped, self-locking fastening element (111).

[0041] Fig. 3 schematically discloses a side view of a vehicle (300), wherein the vehicle (300) has at least one plug connection (150) according to the invention, as described, for example, in relation to Fig. 2.

[0042] Fig. 4 schematically discloses a method for fastening an electrical plug connection (150) to a counter-fastening element (211), in particular to a counter-fastening element (211) of a vehicle (200) as described, for example, in relation to Fig. 3. Preferably, the two plug connectors (121, 122) and the at least one plug connector holder (100) are provided (320, 330) and the two plug connectors (121, 122), ie the first plug connector (121) and the second plug connector (122), are arranged next to one another (340), in particular plugged together.The two plug-in connectors (121, 122) arranged next to one another can then be fastened (360) to the counter-fastening element (211) using the at least one fastening element (111) of the fastening section (110) of the first plug-in connector (121), wherein after the fastening (360) of the two plug-in connectors (121, 122) to the counter-fastening element (211) (or alternatively before the fastening (360) of the two plug-in connectors (121, 122) to the counter-fastening element (211)), the at least one plug-in connector holder (100) with the at least one guide opening (33) is moved (370) relative to the first plug-in connector (121) using the fastening element (111) in order to slide the plug-in connector holder (100) onto the two plug-in connectors (121, 122) arranged next to one another. The pushed-on connector holder (100) can thus be transferred into a holding position in which it is held in a force-locking and form-locking manner.
