Plug connector and method of mounting a bracket on a plug connector housingTechnical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a plug connector comprising a plug connector housing and a bracket, and a method of mounting a bracket on a plug connector housing.Background art
[0002] Plug connectors are known, for example, from the automotive industry, for connecting a controller to a cable. Here, a large number of individual electrical contacts or contact elements can be arranged in a plug connector. The more contacts there are in a plug connector, the greater the force required to plug the connector together with a mating plug connector. Systems are therefore known to simplify the process of plugging together, e.g. by means of operating elements that, for example, enable a force transmission so that a relatively low operating force is sufficient to overcome the insertion forces.
[0003] SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0004] According to the present invention, a plug connector comprising a plug connector housing and a bracket, and a method of mounting a bracket on a plug connector housing, with the features of the independent patent claims, are provided. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims and the following description.
[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a plug connector is provided which is configured to be plugged together with a mating plug connector. The plug connector comprises two plug connector components which are rotatably connectable or connected by means of two pivot joints.
[0006] Each of the two pivot joints comprises a bearing pin or bearing bolt arranged on a first plug connector component of the two plug connector components and a bearing recess in which the bearing pin is rotatably supported and which is arranged on a second plug connector component of the two plug connector components, in order to connect the first plug connector component and the second plug connector component in a rotatable manner. The bearing recess can be, for example, a depression, an opening, a hole, a tub or pan, etc. All in all, the first plug connector component thus comprises two bearing pins and the second plug connector component comprises two bearing recesses.
[0007] The two plug connector components are a plug connector housing and a bracket, wherein the bracket comprises a bracket back and two bracket arms extending from the bracket back respectively to a free end, wherein each of the two pivot joints connects respectively one of the two bracket arms and the plug connector housing in a rotatable manner.
[0008] The second plug connector component comprises two ramps, each having a ramp start and a ramp end, wherein each bearing recess is respectively arranged next to one of the two ramp ends. Here, each of the two ramp ends is assigned to one of the two bearing recesses. A bearing recess can be directly adjacent to the assigned ramp end. However, it may also be provided that a certain sliding distance in the form of a plateau or shoulder is still present between the ramp end and the bearing recess assigned to it. However, this sliding distance is preferably shorter than a pin diameter (see also below) . The ramp start and the ramp end are connected by a ramp track.
[0009] The two ramp tracks of the two ramps are arranged opposite to each other with respect to an axis extending through the two bearing pins, and are either arranged facing each other (i.e. the ramp tracks point inwards and the bearing pins point outwards) or pointing away from each other (i.e. the ramp tracks point outwards and the bearing pins point inwards) .
[0010] The plug connector is configured to guide each of the two bearing pins of the first plug connector component on the ramp tracks of the second plug connector component from the ramp start to the ramp end and then into the bearing recess when the first and the second connector component are displaced relative to each other in a mounting direction, beginning from a mounting starting position in which the bearing pins are arranged opposite to the ramp starts.
[0011] Thus, the bearing pins of the first plug connector component can be inserted into the bearing recesses of the second plug connector component easily and securely and without great effort.
[0012] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for mounting a bracket on a plug connector housing of a plug connector according to the first aspect is provided, wherein the first and the second plug connector component are brought into the mounting starting position and then displaced relative to each other in the mounting direction until the bearing pins are inserted into the bearing recesses.
[0013] Conventionally, the bracket arms have to be spread apart manually for purposes of assembly (i.e. the arms are bent outwards) . The bracket arms are then placed in the correct position (or the housing is pushed between the bracket arms) and the lever arms are then released in order to be able to insert the bearing pins into the bearing recesses. Such an assembly is relatively complicated and liable to errors, especially under workshop conditions. In addition, spreading the bracket excessively can lead to breakage. The present invention, on the other hand, allows a mounting in particular only by pushing the plug connector housing and the bracket onto each other, wherein the ramps automatically lead to a necessary and sufficient spreading of the bracket or the bracket arms.
[0014] In one embodiment, the two bracket arms are elastically reversibly displaceable between a bracket starting position, in which the free ends of the bracket arms have a first distance, and a deflected mounting position, in which the free ends of the bracket arms have a second distance that is greater than the first distance. In this way, it can be ensured that the bracket can be mounted on the plug connector housing without being damaged. The bracket starting position can be a force-free position, i.e. the bracket arms are not deflected and there is no restoring force acting on the bracket arms, whereas in the mounting position a restoring force acts on the bracket arms, which is caused by the elastic deformation. However, the bracket starting position can also be a (slightly) deflected position, for example when the bracket arms are inclined towards each other in a force-free position due to molding distortion.
[0015] In one embodiment, the two bracket arms are in the deflected mounting position when the bearing pins locate at the ramp ends. In other words, the bracket is spread when mounted or guided over the ramp and then contracts again when the bearing pins slide into the bearing recesses. This can also ensure that the bracket can be mounted on the plug connector housing without being damaged.
[0016] In one embodiment, the two bracket arms are in the bracket starting position when the bracket is in the mounting starting position and / or when the bracket is rotatably supported on the plug connector housing. This can avoid creeping of the plastic caused by permanent spreading and the associated decrease in elastic restoring force.
[0017] In one embodiment, a shortest distance between an edge of the bearing recess facing the bearing pin and the ramp end is less than a pin dimension, in particular a pin diameter. In other words, the bearing recess is located especially close to the ramp end, so that the bearing pin can essentially slide directly from the ramp end into the bearing recess. Thus, the available installation space for the ramp is utilized as optimally as possible, so that an incline of the ramp that is as low as possible can be achieved.
[0018] For example, the ramp track can have a ramp track length of at least 10 mm or at least 15 mm or at least 20 mm. Furthermore, for example, the ramp track can have a ramp track length of at most 28 mm or at most 23 mm or at most 18 mm. Thus, as much installation space as possible is used for the ramp without disproportionately increasing the size of the second plug connector component.
[0019] For example, the ramp can have a ramp height (along the axis extending through the two bearing pins) from the ramp start to the ramp end of at least 3 mm or at least 5 mm or at least 7 mm. Furthermore, for example, the ramp can have a ramp height of at most 10 mm or at most 8 mm or at most 6 mm. Thus, a sufficient height for the ramp (and thus for the pin length, which ultimately at least indirectly influences the necessary ramp height) is provided without disproportionately increasing the dimensions of the second plug connector component.
[0020] In one embodiment, the material thickness of the second plug connector component is constant or essentially constant along the ramp track. In this context, the term “essentially” means, in particular, being constant within the usual manufacturing tolerances. As a result, material can be saved, since the ramp does not have to be formed from solid material, so to speak, but can be manufactured by reshaping the (wall) material of the second plug connector component. A constant wall thickness is advantageous for injection molding, as this minimizes material build-up and thus the risk of shrinkage cavities.
[0021] The first and / or the second connector component can, for example, be made of plastic or metal, in particular for the most part. They can, for example, be manufactured as a casting, an injection-molded part or a stamped part, or by means of a 3D printing process. Using these features, a stable and robust plug connector component can be manufactured in a very simple way and in a way that is suitable for mass production. For example, polyamide (PA) , polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or polypropylene (PP) , e.g. glass fiber-filled or without glass fiber filling, can be used as the material.
[0022] In one embodiment, each bearing pin comprises a pin foot at which it is connected with the first plug connector component and a free pin tip as well as a pin length from the pin foot to the pin tip. When the bearing pin and the bearing recess form a pivot joint, or when the bearing pin is arranged in the bearing recess, a gap area of the pin adjacent to the pin foot may still be located outside the bearing recess in order to allow smooth rotatability or to reduce friction between the plug connector components. In other words, the bearing pin does not have to be located in the bearing recess with its entire pin length, but the gap area can protrude or stick out. As a result, the pivot joint can be well adapted to the existing boundary conditions in terms of structure. It should be noted that an area can also protrude behind the bearing recess elsewhere at the pin tip, for example when the recess is implemented as a hole in a wall.
[0023] In one embodiment, the ramp start distance of the two ramp starts corresponds at least to the pin tip distance of the two pin tips when the two pin tips point away from each other and when the bracket arms are in the bracket starting position. The two pin tips point away from each other when each bearing pin is arranged on the plug connector housing and points outwards, and the bearing recesses and the ramps are arranged on the bracket arms. Therefore, in the mounting starting position, the bearing pins can sit on the ramp starts or –in the case of a larger ramp start distance –have a distance from the ramp starts.
[0024] In one embodiment, the ramp start distance of the two ramp starts corresponds at most to the pin tip distance of the two pin tips when the two pin tips point towards each other and when the bracket arms are in the bracket starting position. The two pin tips point towards each other when each bearing pin is arranged on a bracket arm and points inwards, and the bearing recesses and the ramps are arranged on the plug connector housing. Therefore, in the mounting starting position, the bearing pins can sit on the ramp starts or –in the case of a smaller ramp start distance –have a distance from the ramp starts.
[0025] The ramps are characterized by the fact that the distance between the two ramp tracks changes continuously along the ramp track. The ramp start is characterized by the place or area where the continuous change in distance begins, and the ramp end is characterized by the area or place where the continuous change in distance ends. When the ramp tracks face inwards (i.e. the ramps are arranged on the clamp arms) , the distance in particular becomes steadily smaller, and when the ramp tracks face outwards (i.e. the ramps are arranged on the plug connector housing) , the distance in particular becomes steadily larger. By doing so, a constant widening of the bracket can be respectively achieved when it is pushed onto the plug connector housing.
[0026] In one embodiment, the bearing pin comprises a pin projection at the pin tip, which extends perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the pin in a direction away from the bearing pin and acts as a loss prevention when the bearing pin is contained in the bearing recess. This can prevent the bracket from being unintentionally separated from the plug connector housing again. The loss-proof coupling between the plug connector housing and the bracket is achieved in particular by a form fit between the pin projection and the bearing recess, which prevents the bracket from being removed from the plug connector housing as long as the pin projection does not lie at the insertion position. Only when the bracket is displaced in such a way that the pin projection is located at the insertion position again, is the form fit between the pin projection and the bearing recess released again.
[0027] In one embodiment, the second plug connector component comprises at least one stop for the pin projection besides the bearing recess. This can be used to define a maximum movability or a maximum operating path for the bracket in order to avoid damage.
[0028] In particular, the plug connector also comprises at least one contact element which can be electrically contacted with a mating contact element of the mating plug connector. In this case, contact element and mating contact element are, for example, plugged together, which requires a predefined amount of force. If there are a large number of such pairs of contact element and mating contact element, a high force is required to insert plug connector and mating plug connector in one another. The bracket can advantageously facilitate the plugging together of plug connector and mating plug connector. This can be achieved, for example, by reducing the operating forces when plugging together plug connector and mating plug connector (e.g. by using lever forces and / or transmissions) . The bracket is used, for example, to operate a connecting mechanism for connecting or plugging together the plug connector and mating plug connector and / or to lock a plugged-together plug connector assembly comprising plug connector and mating plug connector.
[0029] In one embodiment, the first plug connector component is the plug connector housing and the second plug connector component is the bracket. This is an advantageous solution, since the bearing recesses are then located in the bracket or the bracket arms and thus no installation space for the bearing recesses or for accommodating the bearing pins needs to be provided within the plug connector housing. This solution is also easier to implement because the bearing recesses in the bracket can be particularly configured as holes or through-holes. In contrast, holes in the plug connector housing are disadvantageous because moisture and dirt can penetrate there.
[0030] However, it is understood that an embodiment, in which the first plug connector component is the clip and the second plug connector component is the plug connector housing, also constitutes a variant of the present invention.
[0031] Further advantages and configurations of the present invention become apparent from the description and the accompanying figures.

[0041] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a bracket 100 of a plug connector 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 shows a perspective and partial sectional view of the bracket 100, and Figure 3 shows an enlarged detail of the bracket 100.
[0042] Figure 4 shows a side view of the plug connector 1 with the bracket 100 and a plug connector housing 200 in a structurally separate state. Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the plug connector 1 in a mounting starting position MS, in which the bearing pins 220 of the plug connector housing 200 are arranged between ramps 120 of the bracket 100. Figure 6 shows a rear view and Figure 7 shows a longitudinally sectional view of the plug connector 1.
[0043] The figures are described together below.
[0044] The plug connector 1 comprises the plug connector housing 200 as first plug connector component 10 and the bracket 100 as second plug connector component 20. The plug connector housing 200 in turn comprises two bearing pins 220, and the bracket 100 comprises two bearing recesses 130, which together form respectively one pivot joint, wherein each of the bearing pins 220 is rotatably supported in one of the bearing recesses 130. Thereby, the bracket 100 is overall rotatably supported on the plug connector housing 200.
[0045] The bracket 100 comprises a bracket back 105 and two bracket arms 110 extending essentially in parallel from the bracket back 105 respectively to a free end 111. Furthermore, the bracket 100 comprises two ramps 120, each having a ramp start 121 and a ramp end 122, wherein the ramp start 121 and the ramp end 122 are connected by a ramp track 123.
[0046] As can be seen in particular in Fig. 3, each of the two bearing recesses 130 is respectively arranged (in the figure directly) next to one of the two ramp ends 122. In particular, a shortest distance between a ramp end 122 and the adjacently arranged bearing recess 130 or an edge of the bearing recess is shorter than a pin diameter D (see Fig. 7) . In the present case, the bearing recesses 130 are configured as holes, in particular round holes, with an attached bulge 131, the purpose of which will be described in greater detail below.
[0047] The plug connector 1 is configured to guide each of the bearing pins 220 of the plug connector housing 200 as first plug connector component 10 on the ramp tracks 123 of the bracket 100 as second plug connector component 20 from the respective ramp start 121 to the respective ramp end 122 and then into the respective bearing recess 130 when the bracket 100 is displaced relative to the plug connector housing 200 in a mounting direction M, which extends parallel to a y-direction, beginning from the mounting starting position MS, in which the bearing pins 220 are arranged opposite to the ramp starts 121 (see Fig. 5) .
[0048] As can be seen in Fig. 7, each bearing pin 220 comprises a pin foot 221, at which the bearing pin 220 is connected with the plug connector housing 200 as first plug connector component 10. Furthermore, each bearing pin 220 comprises a free pin tip 222 and a pin length H from the pin foot 221 to the pin tip 222.
[0049] The two bracket arms 110 are elastically reversibly displaceable between a bracket starting position BS (see Fig. 4 to 6) , in which the free ends 111 of the bracket arms 110 have a first distance a3, and a deflected mounting position, in which the free ends of the bracket arms 110 have a second distance that is greater than the first distance a3. In the embodiment shown, the bracket arms 110 are in the bracket starting position BS when the plug connector 1 is in the mounting starting position MS.
[0050] The two ramp tracks 123 of the two ramps 120 are arranged opposite to each other with respect to an axis A extending through the two bearing pins 220 and parallel to an x-direction, and point towards each other, i.e. the ramp tracks 123 point inwards and the bearing pins 220 point outwards, see Fig. 7. A z-direction is perpendicular to the x / y-plane.
[0051] In the example shown, the ramp track 123 can comprise a ramp track length l, i.e. a distance between the ramp start 121 and the ramp end 122, of, for example, 15-20 mm. As can be seen in Fig. 3 in particular, as a result, essentially the entire available installation space can be used for the ramp. Furthermore, for example, each ramp 120 can have a ramp height h along the axis A (or x-axis) extending through the two bearing pins from a position of the ramp start 121 on the axis A to the position of the ramp end 122 on the axis A of, for example, 4-6 mm. This ramp height h ultimately defines the deflection of each bracket arm 110 and thus a maximum pin length that can be overcome by means of a ramp 120 in order to guide the bearing pin 220 into the bearing recess 130.
[0052] A feeding area 125 can be provided upstream of the ramp start 121 to ensure that the pin can be fed reliably to the ramp.
[0053] As can also be seen in Fig. 7 in particular, a material thickness d of the bracket 100 is constant or essentially constant (i.e. within the usual manufacturing tolerances) along the ramp track 123. This saves material, since the ramps 120 do not have to be formed from a solid material, but can be manufactured by reforming the wall material of the bracket 100 or the bracket arm 110, and injection molding is simplified. For example, the plug connector housing 200 and / or the bracket 100 can be made entirely or predominantly of plastic, for example as an injection-molded part or using a 3D printing process. In particular, each ramp 120 is bent out of a component wall (here a bracket arm base surface) and not additionally formed.
[0054] As can additionally be seen from Fig. 7, a ramp start distance a2 of the two ramp starts 121 is greater than a pin tip distance b2 of the two pin tips 222 when the clamp arms 110 are in the bracket starting position BS. Furthermore, a ramp end distance a1 of the two ramp ends 122 corresponds to a pin foot distance b1 of the two pin feet 221 when the bracket arms 110 are in the bracket starting position BS. In particular, the ramp end distance a1 corresponds at least to the pin foot distance b1, and the ramp start distance a2 corresponds at least to the pin tip distance b2.
[0055] Each of the bearing pins 220 comprises a pin projection 223 at the pin tip 222, which extends perpendicularly to a longitudinal pin axis, which corresponds to the axis A, in the direction away from the bearing pin 220 and acts as a loss protection when the bearing pin 220 is contained in the bearing recess 130 and forms a pivot joint together with the bearing recess 130. In particular, the form of the pin 220 together with the pin projection 223 is geometrically similar to the form of the bearing recess 130 with the bulge 131 (i.e. can be transformed into one another by geometric stretching) , so that the bearing pin 220 can be inserted into the bearing recess 130 when the pin projection 223 is opposite to the bulge 131. As soon as the bracket 100 is twisted relative to the plug connector housing 200 after it has been fastened to the plug connector housing 200, the bearing pin can no longer be unintentionally removed from the bearing recess 130, since the pin projection 223 engages behind the bearing recess 130 in a form-fitting manner.
[0056] In the present example, the pin projection 223 and the bulge 131 of the bearing recess 130 are arranged in the z-direction above the bearing recess 130 or the pin 220.
[0057] Furthermore, the bracket 100, as second plug connector component 20, comprises a stop 140 for the pin projection 223, which in the example shown is arranged as a ring segment in the z-direction below the bearing recess 130.
[0058] With this invention, a bracket can be mounted on a connector housing very easily and without damage.
