Description

[0001] Holding device for a flexible cable

[0002] The invention relates to a holding device for a flexible cable.

[0003] Holding devices for flexible cables are known for a variety of applications. For example, vehicles are supplied with liquid or gaseous media via flexible cables, and electric vehicles are also supplied with power from a charging station via flexible charging cables. Holding devices with pivoting arms are used to hold these flexible cables. They can be temporarily laid from a supply point, such as an electric charging station, to a consumer, such as an electric vehicle, without blocking the ground. The cable can be easily moved within a certain radius and connected to the vehicle via a plug-in connection. The pivoting arm supports the weight of the cable, ensuring that it does not come into contact with the ground.Holding devices with a swivel arm are also known for temporary water supply or temporary wastewater disposal.

[0004] Such holding devices comprise a pivot arm and a joint. The pivot arm has means for arranging a supply line and is rotatably mounted on the joint. The joint typically has a base plate with which the holding device can be attached to a surface, such as a house wall. By rotating the pivot arm, the pivot arm and the supply line attached to it can be rotated relative to this surface. The axis of rotation runs parallel to the surface, in particular parallel to the wall surface or house wall.

[0005] A problem with such known holding devices is that the swivel arm with the attached cable does not have a defined rest position and must be moved manually. This is laborious for the operator due to the weight of the swivel arm and the supply cable. Furthermore, the swivel arm's operating radius is fixed or limited by its length.

[0006] It is therefore an object of the invention to solve these and other problems and to provide a holding device for a flexible cable that can be moved with as little effort as possible. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to increase the operating radius of the holding device and the pivoting arm.

[0007] These and other objects are achieved according to the invention with a holding device according to claim 1. The holding device comprises a pivot arm designed to hold the flexible cable, a bearing bracket, and a joint with a joint axis. The pivot arm is rotatably connected to the bearing bracket via the joint and can be rotated from at least one desired rest position to at least one desired operating position and back. Several rest positions and, if appropriate, also several operating positions can be provided, which differ in the angular position of the pivot arm relative to the joint axis.

[0008] The bearing bracket has at least one connection surface for attachment to at least one mounting surface. The connection surface is the surface of the bearing bracket at which the bearing bracket is arranged on the mounting surface. The connection surface is generally essentially vertical.

[0009] The mounting surface can be, for example, a house wall, a wall surface, a corner, a pillar, or the like. The mounting surface can, in particular, extend vertically. The holding device can be designed such that, in the operating position, the pivot arm extends substantially perpendicularly away from the mounting surface, and, in the rest position, runs substantially parallel to the mounting surface or even bears against the mounting surface. A base plate can be provided, which is arranged on the mounting surface, wherein the bearing bracket is attached to the base plate.

[0010] In the rest position, a flexible cable of the appropriate length is stored without touching the ground, protected near a mounting surface of the holding device, especially a wall surface. In the rest position, the swivel arm rests closest to the mounting surface, for example, on the right or left side of the wall surface.

[0011] In the operating position, the swivel arm extends from the mounting bracket, thus protruding a certain distance from the mounting surface to provide the flexible cable to a consumer, such as a vehicle. The length of the swivel arm depends on the application but can typically range from approximately 60 cm to approximately 300 cm, preferably approximately 130 cm.

[0012] According to the invention, the joint axis is inclined relative to the attachment surface at an acute angle a of approximately 2° to approximately 5°. As a result, the pivot arm extends slightly upward in the operating position and, when not in use, rotates automatically from the operating position to a rest position, i.e., to a position to the right or left of the attachment surface, due to the effect of gravity.

[0013] The joint can be designed such that the pivot arm can be rotated from a first rest position to a second rest position over a pivot range of approximately 90° to approximately 360°, in particular approximately 180° to approximately 270°.

[0014] The swivel arm can be provided with a linearly extendable telescopic rail with plain bearing, ball, roller, or linear guides. This allows the operating radius of the holding device to be extended, allowing the swivel arm to follow the flexible cable over a greater distance. For example, the telescopic rail can be extendable by a length of approximately 60 cm to approximately 150 cm, allowing the total length of the swivel arm to be extended by this distance.

[0015] The telescopic rail can be arranged at an obtuse angle ß of approximately 95° to approximately 110° relative to the joint axis. This, in addition to the inclination of the joint axis relative to the connection surface, ensures that the telescopic rail retracts automatically due to gravity when there is no tensile force from the flexible cable.

[0016] According to the invention, the swivel arm, in particular the telescopic rail, can have a suspension point at its free end, in particular in the form of an eyelet with a suspended cable holder, to hold the flexible cable. An eyelet with a large opening and a cable holder, for example, with a textile fabric strap, ensure a conical effective area and the freest possible movement of the flexible cable.

[0017] According to the invention, the support bracket can be provided with a wall leg and at least one support leg, with the connection surface being arranged on the wall leg, in particular on its rear side, and the joint being arranged on the support leg. Two support legs can also be provided to support the joint at two bearing points.

[0018] In particular, it can be provided that at least one or both support legs are designed to accommodate a joint and, if necessary, are adapted to the inclination of the joint axis. This allows the inventive inclination of the joint axis relative to the connection surface of the base plate to be achieved in a simple structural manner.

[0019] For example, one or both support legs can protrude from the wall leg at an angle greater than 90°, preferably at an angle of approximately 92° to approximately 95°. According to the invention, the support bracket can be connected to a substantially L-shaped corner connector, wherein the corner connector has two connecting surfaces arranged offset by 90°. Such a corner connector with two connecting surfaces can be used for mounting the holding device on an outside corner.

[0020] According to the invention, means can be provided to adjust the inclination of the joint axis, for example adjusting screws which change the inner angle of the bearing bracket by a certain degree of inclination.

[0021] In particular, the inclination of the joint axis can be adjusted by approximately + / - 2° to approximately + / - 4°. This ensures that the swivel arm can be swung back and the telescopic rail can be retracted, even with cables of different weights and with different lengths of the swivel arm and telescopic rail.

[0022] The swivel arm according to the invention, in particular the telescopic rail, can have a suspension point in the form of an eyelet at its free end with a suspended or attachable cable holder for holding the flexible cable. However, if used improperly, the suspension point must withstand very high loads. This can lead to plastic deformation or breakage of the holding device, damage to the flexible cable, damage to goods located underneath, or injury to persons below.

[0023] To protect against such mechanical overload, the eyelet can be open at one point, particularly by being slotted, forming a defined weak point. In the event of excessive loading, the cable holder can slide through the eyelet opening. The width of the opening can be approximately 15% to approximately 40%, for example, approximately 30%, of the eyelet diameter.

[0024] Furthermore, the invention can provide for an elastic grommet to bridge the open area of ​​the eyelet. In the event of an overload, the grommet can deform elastically and slide through the open area with the cable holder. A cable holder according to the invention thus transfers the force acting on the flexible cable to the grommet and slides out of the slotted eyelet in the event of a mechanical overload.

[0025] The special design of the suspension point, featuring a grommet in a slotted eyelet, allows the overload behavior to be pre-adjusted according to the required breakaway force. The eyelet and grommet are preferably dimensioned such that no plastic deformation of the load-bearing parts occurs in the event of a mechanical overload, allowing all parts to be reused.

[0026] According to the invention, the grommet can be ring-shaped and made of an elastic material, for example, rubber, or comprise rubber. Preferably, the opening of the eyelet is oriented in the release direction, i.e., the direction in which the cable holder is likely to be pulled under mechanical stress. This can be a substantially vertically downward direction.

[0027] The eyelet can be circular, elliptical, teardrop-shaped, or similar. The opening of the eyelet can be formed as a slot in the eyelet. The grommet and the cable holder can be designed as separate components. However, the invention also provides for the grommet and the cable holder to be designed as a single integrated component. The grommet can be ring-shaped with a groove on its outer circumference to allow it to be inserted into the eyelet with a positive fit.

[0028] The invention further relates to a supply device for supplying a consumer, in particular an electric charging station or filling station for vehicles, comprising a holding device according to the invention. Such a supply device can comprise a line connection and a flexible line connected to the line connection, wherein the line is flexibly held by a line holder on the pivot arm of the holding device according to the invention.

[0029] Further features of the invention emerge from the patent claims, the description of the embodiments and the figures.

[0030] The invention is explained in more detail using a non-exclusive exemplary embodiment. Figures 1a - 1f show schematic views of a first embodiment of a holding device according to the invention;

[0031] Fig. 2a - 2b: schematic view of a second embodiment of a holding device according to the invention;

[0032] Fig. 3a: a schematic view of a third embodiment of a holding device according to the invention;

[0033] Fig. 4a - 4d: schematic views of an eyelet and a grommet of a holding device according to the invention.

[0034] Fig. 1a shows a schematic plan view of an embodiment of a holding device according to the invention for a flexible cable (not shown), wherein the holding device is arranged on a vertically extending, schematically illustrated fastening surface 12. The holding device comprises a pivot arm 1, a bearing bracket 2, and a joint 3, wherein the pivot arm 1 is connected to the bearing bracket 2 via the joint 3 so that it can rotate through an angle of approximately 180°.

[0035] In the present embodiment, the pivot arm 1 has two rest positions 5a, 5b in which it rests against the fastening surface 12, and an operating position 6 in which it protrudes essentially 90° from the fastening surface 12. The pivot arm 1 is shown in the operating position 6 and extends essentially normal to the fastening surface 12. The hatched area denotes the movement area of ​​the suspension point 9, starting from the operating position 6 to a left rest position 5a or to a right rest position 5b. In the rest positions 5a, 5b, the pivot arm 1 rests flat against the fastening surface 12 and extends parallel to it.

[0036] In this embodiment, the swivel arm 1 has a linearly extendable telescopic rail 8 with plain bearing, ball, or roller guides. The telescopic rail 8 can be extended by a length of approximately 60 cm. The telescopic rail 8 is shown in its fully extended state.

[0037] The telescopic rail 8 has at its free end a suspension point 9 in the form of an eyelet with a cable holder 10 to hold the flexible cable. Fig. 1b shows a schematic three-dimensional view of the embodiment of the holding device according to the invention from Fig. 1a. The holding device comprises a pivot arm 1, a bearing bracket 2 and a joint 3 with a joint axis 4, wherein the pivot arm 1 is rotatably connected to the bearing bracket 2 via the joint 3. The bearing bracket 2 has a wall leg and two support legs, wherein a connection surface 7 is provided on the rear of the wall leg. On the two support legs of the bearing bracket 2, a joint 3 is provided for the rotatable mounting of the pivot arm 1. The joint 3 has a bearing point on each support leg.

[0038] The joint axis 4 does not run parallel to the connection surface 7, but is inclined at an acute angle a of approximately 2° to approximately 5° to it, so that the pivot arm 1 is tilted upward in the operating position 6 and, when not in use, moves automatically from the operating position 6 to one of the two rest positions 5a, 5b by gravity. The flexible cable is not shown in the figures.

[0039] Shown is the linearly extendable telescopic rail 8 with plain bearing, ball, or roller guides, which is extended to a length of approximately 130 cm in the figure. At the end of the telescopic rail 8, the suspension point 9 is provided in the form of an eyelet 9 with a cable holder 10 to hold the flexible cable.

[0040] If the flexible cable is suspended in the cable holder 10 and connected, for example, to an electric vehicle, the swivel arm 1 and the telescopic rail 8 follow the tensile forces of the flexible cable.

[0041] The pivot arm 1 and the telescopic rail 8 are designed such that, in the operating position shown in Fig. 1a, they extend at an obtuse angle ß of approximately 95° to approximately 110° to the joint axis 4 of the bearing bracket 2. In the operating position, the telescopic rail 8 is extended to the corresponding length due to the tensile force of the flexible cable.

[0042] If the flexible cable is removed from the vehicle after the supply or charging process, the horizontal component of the tensile force approaches zero and due to the inclination of the angle ß the telescopic rail 8 retracts to its smallest length under the effect of gravity. This self-retraction occurs without a spring or actuator. Fig. 1c and Fig. 1d show a schematic side view and top view of the holding device with the telescopic rail 8 retracted. Here the pivot arm 1 has a length of approximately 70 cm. The bearing bracket 2 has a wall leg and two support legs, with the connection surface 7 located on the rear of the wall leg. A joint 3 with a joint axis 4 is provided for the rotatable mounting of the pivot arm 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the two support legs extend at an angle of approximately 90° from the wall leg of the bearing bracket 2. The joint axis 4 is inclined at an acute angle a of approximately 2° to approximately 5°, for example approximately 4°, relative to the connection surface 7, so that the pivot arm 1 is directed slightly upwards in the operating position.

[0044] In other embodiments, it can be provided that the two support legs extend at an angle of approximately 92° to approximately 95° from the wall leg of the bearing bracket 2. This ensures that the pivot arm 1 moves automatically from the operating position to a rest position by gravity as soon as there is no load from the line.

[0045] The telescopic rail 8 is attached to the pivot arm 1 and extends along an extension direction that is inclined upwards at an obtuse angle ß of approximately 95° to approximately 110°, for example, approximately 97°, to the joint axis 4. This ensures that the telescopic rail 8 returns to the retracted state shown when the horizontal tensile force of the flexible cable is released. At the end of the telescopic rail 8, an eyelet 9 and a cable holder 10 are provided for holding the flexible cable.

[0046] Fig. 1e and Fig. 1f show a schematic side view and top view of the holding device in the extended state of the telescopic rail 8.

[0047] The telescopic rail is extended by approximately 60 cm, so that the total length of the holding device is approximately 130 cm. Fig. 2a shows a schematic plan view of another embodiment of a holding device according to the invention for a flexible cable (not shown), wherein the holding device is arranged on a vertically running outer corner with two fastening surfaces 12 arranged at 90° to each other. The holding device comprises a pivot arm 1, a bearing bracket 2 and a joint 3, wherein the pivot arm 1 is connected to the bearing bracket 2 via the joint 3 so that it can rotate through an angle of approximately 270°. The bearing bracket 2 is connected to a substantially L-shaped corner connector 11, wherein the corner connector 11 has two connection surfaces 7 arranged offset by 90° for mounting the holding device on the outer corner.

[0048] In the present embodiment, the pivot arm 1 has two rest positions 5a, 5b, in which it rests against the two fastening surfaces 12 of the outer corner, and an operating position 6, in which it protrudes essentially 135° from the two fastening surfaces 12. The pivot arm 1 is shown in the operating position 6. The hatched area indicates the movement area of ​​the suspension point 9 of the pivot arm 1, starting from the operating position 6 to a left rest position 5a or to a right rest position 5b. In the rest positions 5a, 5b, the pivot arm 1 rests flat against the fastening surfaces 12 and extends parallel to them.

[0049] In this embodiment, the swivel arm 1 has a linearly extendable telescopic rail 8 with plain bearing, ball, or roller guides, whereby the telescopic rail 8 can be extended by a length of approximately 60 cm. The telescopic rail 8 is shown in its fully extended state. At its free end, the telescopic rail 8 has a suspension point 9 in the form of an eyelet with a cable holder 10 for holding the flexible cable.

[0050] Fig. 2b shows a schematic three-dimensional view of the embodiment of the holding device according to the invention from Fig. 2a. The holding device comprises a pivot arm 1, a bearing bracket 2, and a joint 3 with a joint axis 4, wherein the pivot arm 1 is rotatably connected to the bearing bracket 2 via the joint 3. The bearing bracket 2 has a wall leg and two support legs, wherein a corner connector 11 with two vertical connection surfaces 7 extending at 90° to each other is provided on the rear side of the wall leg. This enables the stable mounting of the pivot arm 1 on an outside corner.

[0051] A joint 3 is provided on the supporting legs of the bearing bracket 2 for the rotatable mounting of the swivel arm 1. The joint 3 has one bearing point on each supporting leg.

[0052] The joint axis 4 in turn runs at an acute angle a of approximately 2° to approximately 5°, for example approximately 3° inclined to the intersection line of the two vertically extending connection surfaces 7, so that the swivel arm 1 is inclined upwards in the operating position 6 and, when not in use, moves automatically from the operating position 6 into one of the two rest positions 5a, 5b by gravity.

[0053] Also shown is the linearly extendable telescopic rail 8, which is extended to a length of approximately 130 cm in the figure. At the end of the telescopic rail 8, a suspension point 9 in the form of an eyelet with a cable holder 10 is provided to hold the flexible cable.

[0054] The telescopic rail 8 extends at an angle ß of approximately 95° to approximately 110°, for example approximately 99° relative to the joint axis 4 of the bearing bracket 2. In the operating position, the telescopic rail 8 is extended to the corresponding length due to the tensile force of the flexible cable.

[0055] When the flexible cable is removed from the vehicle after the supply or charging process, the horizontal component of the tensile force approaches zero, and due to the inclination of the angle ß, the telescopic rail 8 retracts to its smallest length by gravity. This self-retraction occurs without a spring or actuator.

[0056] Fig. 3a shows a schematic exploded view of a third embodiment of a holding device according to the invention. In this embodiment, the pivot arm 1 has a linearly extendable telescopic rail 8 with plain bearing, ball, or roller guides. The telescopic rail 8 can be extended by a length of approximately 75 cm. The telescopic rail 8 is shown in the fully extended state.

[0057] At its free end, the telescopic rail 8 has a suspension point 9 in the form of an open eyelet 13 with an annular grommet 14, into which a cable holder 10 can be inserted to hold the flexible cable. The elastic grommet 14 is inserted into a slotted eyelet 13 of the telescopic rail 8 so that, if the defined breakaway force is exceeded, it can exit downward through the opening without overloading or damaging the holding device. The grommet 14 is made of rubber to prevent damage to persons or property below. This process is reversible, and the grommet can be reused after an overload incident.

[0058] Fig. 4a shows a detailed view of the eyelet 13. The eyelet 13 has a substantially circular geometry, namely a width B and a substantially identical height H. In this embodiment, the width B and height H are each approximately 4 cm. Modified diameters and geometries are possible in other embodiments depending on the desired triggering characteristics of the overload protection device.

[0059] Crucial for overload protection is the area where the eyelet 13 is open and forms a defined weak point. The length L2 of the opening must be smaller than the diameter B. The lengths L1 and L3 must be at least 10%, preferably at least 20%, of the diameter B to enable a partially positive fit of the grommet and to transfer the force introduced by the cable holder 10 to the pivot arm 1.

[0060] The lengths L1 and L3 can be symmetrical and, together with L2, result in the total length B. Furthermore, the length L2 must essentially correspond to twice the material thickness of the grommet 14 to allow the grommet 14 to slide through in the event of an overload. Fig. 4b shows a schematic side view of the grommet 14. The grommet 14 is designed as an elastic rubber ring with an outer diameter of approximately 4 cm and an inner diameter of approximately 3 cm. The material thickness of the ring corresponds to approximately half the length L2, but can also be greater, since the ring compresses in the event of an overload. The material thickness of the ring is approximately 1 cm.

[0061] Fig. 4c shows the assembled state of the overload protection device. The opening of the eyelet 13 with a length of L2 is bridged by the annular grommet 14, so that the applied force FL is transmitted through the cable holder 10 into the swivel arm 1. The width BL of the cable holder 10 must be less than L2 for this purpose. By using an elastic material for the grommet 14, an overload causes the grommet 14 to deform, causing it to slide out of the eyelet 13 in the direction of the force.

[0062] The lowest breakaway force of the cable holder 10 is in the direction of the opening of the eyelet

[0063] 13. This force increases with the angle to the opening of the eyelet 13, until the overload protection partially loses its effectiveness. If the breakaway force is exceeded, an elastic deformation of the grommet occurs.

[0064] 14 and the cable holder 10 is pulled out of the eyelet 13 together with the grommet 14.

[0065] Fig. 4d shows a sectional view of the overload protection device along section A-A in Fig. 4c. It can be seen that the annular grommet 14 is inserted into the eyelet 13 with a positive fit. For this purpose, the grommet 14 has a groove on its outer diameter into which the eyelet 13 of the suspension point 9 is inserted. The thickness of the groove corresponds to the sheet thickness of the eyelet 13 at the suspension point 9 and can be, for example, 2 mm. To insert the cable holder 10 into the grommet 14, the cable holder 10 can have a snap hook or the like.
