Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable connection or connection device for the frontal connection of the conductors of a preferably multi-core cable, with a plug-in part provided with contact elements, with a wire and -guiding part and with a cable holder, the wire holder- and guide part has wire guide channels and wherein Plug-in part and the cable receptacle can be connected to one another, in particular screwed are and in the assembled state the and guide part arranged between the plug part and the cable receptacle or is enclosed by the plug-in part and the cable holder.
  • the invention is a cable connection or connection device for the frontal connection of the conductors of a multi-core Cable concerns.
  • the cable can be connected to an electrical device or electrically connected with a second cable.
  • connection device Shall two cables be connected together are, it is a connection device. Independently of whether a connection or a connection is made always a connection of the cable or the conductor by a contact element instead of. In the following, a connection device is predominantly used. Nevertheless, there is always a connection device in the meaning previously explained.
  • connection device for electrically conductive connection of a Cable to an electrical device is to be understood in general terms as electrical device; in particular, the term “electrical device” should also include electrical and electronic components, devices and devices fall.
  • cables are connected where the cable insulation, but not the wire insulation of the individual wires before connection have been removed.
  • the cable connection or connection device thus enables the connection of non-stripped conductors. Ways of connecting non-stripped conductors are already out of the State of the art known.
  • Insulation displacement clamps or insulation displacement connection devices used, in which the contact elements usually designed as contact blades Cut into the wire insulation from the outside until there is contact with the leader.
  • connection device In the cable connection or to be created with the present invention -connection device is now used from the second option made, d. H. the wire insulation is not cut from the side, but the conductors are connected from the front. Thereby in usually used in such a connection stranded conductor which thus the contact element between the individual strands of the conductor penetrates. Due to the restoring force of the wire insulation, there is a electrical contact sufficient clamping force between the individual Strands of the conductor and the contact element penetrated into the conductor.
  • cable connection or connection device is an exact alignment of the individual wires to the contact elements depending on the manufacturing tolerances of the nozzle of the Wire receiving and guiding part to the corresponding recess of the plug-in part. They are also for different cables with different Diameter of the cores different cores and guide parts required. Assigns a used wire with smaller wires Diameters than the wire guide channels, there is only one inadequate alignment of the wires to the contact elements.
  • the introduction of wires with different is Diameter in the wire guide channels of the and guide part possible, the accuracy of the orientation of the inserted Veins to the contact elements also depend on the used wire cross-sections from, so that an exact alignment is not can always be guaranteed. In addition, the orientation of the Veins due to aging and subsidence of the rubber-elastic Core receiving and guiding part negatively affected.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of a cable connection or connecting device for the frontal connection of conductors to provide a multi-core cable, where possible one exact alignment of the individual wires to the contact elements of the Plug part is realized.
  • a cable connection or connecting device for the frontal connection of conductors to provide a multi-core cable, where possible one exact alignment of the individual wires to the contact elements of the Plug part is realized.
  • Different cables with different wire cross sections with the same cable connection or connection device can be connected can.
  • the task derived and shown above is first and foremost solved in that the wire receiving and guiding part from one first section made of soft material and a second section hard material and that in the first section the wire guide channels and in the second section a positioning aid for exact Alignment of the conductors to the contact elements are formed; "soft Material “means one that is relatively elastic,” hard material “means one one that is not very elastic.
  • the first part is the connection of different cables different wire cross-sections possible.
  • the Core guide channels in the first made of soft material, in particular a soft plastic, for example a thermoplastic elastomer existing section of the wire receiving and guiding part can through radial pressure on this first section of the cross section of the wire guide channels can be reduced to the smaller cross-section of the wires.
  • Adequate clamping of the individual wires in the wire guide channels be achieved so that the veins slide back when penetrating the contact elements in the veins is prevented.
  • the first section Due to the radial pressure the first section also ensures that the electrical Contact between the individual strands of a conductor and that of the The end of the contact element inserted into the conductor is necessary Contact force is ensured.
  • the force acting radially on the wire insulation thus additionally supports the restoring force of the wire insulation.
  • thermoplastic elastomer for the first section a natural rubber or a silicone rubber can be used, wherein the first section can be made by vulcanization.
  • the first Section made of thermoplastic elastomer and the second section One-piece thermoplastic.
  • the wire intake and guide part to be produced in the two-component injection molding process, so that the two sections are materially connected to each other.
  • the positioning aid has holes assigned to the individual wire guide channels, the Holes, seen from the wire guide channels, a tapered Have cross-section.
  • the holes can in particular be funnel-shaped or conical. With such a configuration the positioning aid is done by simply inserting the Cores through the wire guide channels into the tapered holes a "self-alignment" of the inserted veins. Through the funnel or cone-shaped formation of the holes is always an exact constant alignment of the core axis, regardless of the Vein diameter. So the contact elements of the plug-in part arranged so that they are centered on the holes of the positioning aid are, it is always ensured that the contact elements meet in the middle of the front of the wires to be connected.
  • the arrangement and alignment of the contact elements exactly in the middle of the Bores of the positioning aid can now be particularly advantageous can be easily realized that the holes are a first to which Tapered area, a second Area of constant diameter and a third, expanding Have range.
  • the positioning aid is not only used for alignment the wires but also to align the contact elements, with an exact alignment of the wires to the contact elements is realized in that the hole as a whole and thus all three areas have a matching center line.
  • the holes have a first tapered Area, a second area of constant diameter and one third, expanding area.
  • the first and the third area to be mirror-symmetrical to each other and even to each other adjoin so that the middle second area is virtually eliminated or only has a vanishing length.
  • the minimum diameter of the first, the tapered area must always be smaller than the smallest diameter a wire to be connected, so that the first area of the hole always a stop for one inserted through a wire guide channel Vein forms.
  • the smallest diameter of the third Range should always be larger than the diameter of the contact elements, so that the contact elements through the holes through to the area of the wire guide channels protrude. Ideally, the smallest diameter corresponds the third area exactly the outer diameter of the contact elements.
