Definitions

  • connection element in particular a plug or adapter, for electrical plug connections with a socket which can be closed with a hinged cover which can be opened against the action of a return spring.
  • Such plug connections are used, for example, in the motor vehicle sector.
  • An openable hinged lid is hinged to the socket housing because the contacts received inside the socket are to be protected against splash water and the like when the socket is not in use.
  • the hinged lid makes it difficult to insert a plug or an adapter, ie a connection element for the transition from a socket to a plug with a different number of poles, e.g. from a 13-pin socket (according to ISO11446) to a 7-pin plug (e.g. according to ISO1724).
  • the user must open the cover of the socket by hand in order to be able to insert the plug or adapter.
  • the user must also keep the lid open by hand during insertion, ie a rotary movement to create a bayonet lock between the socket and plug or adapter.
  • connection element that is to say in particular a plug or adapter, which permits one-hand operation when the connection element is inserted and locked into or with the socket.
  • connection element can be inserted with only one hand after being attached to the socket and can be moved into the locking position by means of a rotary movement if the cover opening of the socket is raised using the cover opening guide.
  • the hinged lid of the socket is usually provided with a projecting grip tab at its free end, the lid opening guide can even be used from the beginning to lift the hinged lid of the socket with the connection element itself before the actual rotary plugging process, so that the connection element extends into it Output rotary plug position can be performed.
  • the second hand of the user is not needed at all for the insertion process.
  • the cover opening guide is preferably designed as a bar running approximately in the circumferential direction, which can be formed in one piece with the connection element housing.
  • Connection elements of the type described generally have a lid support platform for the hinged lid of the socket.
  • This cover support platform is provided so that the opened hinged cover of the socket after the plug has been fully inserted and locked into the socket or onto the socket Can lay on the deck support platform so that the inside of the opened hinged lid is protected against splashing water or similar dirt during use of the plug connection, e.g. during vehicle operation, and the sealing function of the sealing ring accommodated therein, which interacts with the front of the socket housing when the hinged lid is closed , is not affected.
  • the outer guide surface of the cover opening guide rises continuously from an end near the housing in the circumferential direction up to the height of the cover support platform.
  • the connecting element is gradually raised further into the locking position in the socket of the hinged lid when it is plugged in and finally reaches the level of the lid support platform, on which the hinged lid then automatically finds its level support without the second hand of the user.
  • the lid opening guide can also be provided with a recessed grip at its end near the housing, in particular designed as such, in a further development of the inventive concept.
  • the connecting element 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and designed as an adapter for illustration purposes has a housing 4 provided with a hinged lid 11.
  • the housing 4 is provided with a lid support platform 6 for supporting a hinged lid 3 provided with a projecting grip tab 9, one of which is shown in FIG Figures 3a to 3c visible socket 2 equipped.
  • On one side of the circumference of the housing 4, the latter is provided with an arched curved opening opening guide 5 equipped as a bar running approximately in the circumferential direction with a guide surface 10.
  • the lid opening guide 5 extends radially from one end 7 near the housing to approximately the level of the lid support platform 6 at its other end 12 facing the lid platform 6 Connection element compared to socket 2 facilitated.
  • connection element 1 is shown in progressive rotary locking positions relative to the socket 2, the functioning of the connection element 1 also results Lid opening guide 5.
  • FIG. 3a it can be seen how the hinged lid 3 of the socket 2 can be raised with the aid of the lid opening guide 5 and the projecting handle bottle 9 without the user needing his second hand. It is therefore spared to attack the hinged lid 3, which may be dirty on the outside, by hand.
  • the adapter 1 is rotated to the right relative to the starting position of FIG. 3a, the recessed grip 8 being helpful.
  • the hinged lid 3 is further raised due to the radial rise of the guide surface 10 of the lid opening guide 5, and almost up to the height of the lid support platform 6 on the connection element 1.
  • the connection element 1 is in its end locking position between the socket 2 and the connection element 1 provided bayonet lock arrives. It can be seen that the hinged lid 3 of the socket 1 has automatically reached the top of the lid support platform 6 and is resting there, so that its inside is protected. The entire turn-plug process allows one-hand operation.
