Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a socket for receiving an electrical connector, consisting of a base housing comprising a mounting flange and an integrally made with this, Steckerstattingn having plug receptacle, and a sealing contour which rests in the inserted state of the plug to this and the plug with the Connector receptacle tightly connects.
  • the present invention further relates to an electrical plug-in device system consisting of a plug and a socket, which consists of a base housing comprising a mounting flange and an integrally made with this, Steckerstattingn having plug receptacle, and a sealing contour, wherein in the inserted state of the plug, the sealing contour of Socket on the plug rests and this tightly connects to the connector receptacle.
  • Sockets of plug-in device systems of this type are provided on the one hand for mobile use, for example in line rollers, power strips and mobile distributors on the other hand, but also for installation on a stationary support, for example on a wall or a cabinet.
  • VDE 0620-1 The standard to be applied in the present case is VDE 0620-1, which makes special demands on the tightness against water ingress of such plug-in device systems.
  • a standard-compliant design of such plug-in device systems requires that they comply with protection class IP44 or IP54.
  • TPE rubber or thermoplastic elastomer
  • a soft material at a socket made of a thermoplastic such as polyamide (PA), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) , Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), which are each a relative to the rubber or thermoplastic elastomer hard material was fixed, for example, by molding or screwing, which sealing contour after plugging the plug into the socket sealingly comes to rest on the plug and so prevents the ingress of water into the plug receptacle of the socket.
  • PA polyamide
  • PE polyethylene
  • PP polypropylene
  • PC polycarbonate
  • ABS Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene
  • the material of the sealing contour used hitherto due to its softness, is susceptible to mechanical influences from the outside and the material properties change nonlinearly over time and temperature.
  • An example of a sealing contour of such a soft material discloses the DE 9302393 U1 , which relates to a splash-proof socket with a housing and a flexible collar, wherein the housing and the collar made of a rubber-like, unbreakable material.
  • the built-in socket has an inner trough, wherein a bead of the connector shell in a sealing ring of The built-in socket snaps into place and fills the inner channel to ensure a secure seal.
  • the shows US 2009/088010 A1 a waterproof plug or a waterproof connector system consisting of the plug and a socket with a housing and a mounting flange, which is not made in one piece with the housing.
  • a seal is provided in the socket, which cooperates with a further seal on the plug when the plug is plugged into the socket.
  • VDE 0620-1 subordinate socket or a standard subjacent Steckvoriquesssystem which is simple in construction, easier to manufacture, less sensitive to external mechanical effects and less expensive to produce.
  • the production of the sealing contour of the harder material of the base housing also has the advantage that the sealing contour is more resistant to external influences.
  • the sealing contour has a sleeve-like shape, so that it surrounds the plug on all sides and rests against this.
  • the wall thickness of the sealing contour according to the invention is less than 1.2 mm, preferably less than 0.8 mm. It has been found that this wall thickness in combination with the material from which the sealing contour is made according to the invention, is optimally suited to meet the requirements of the standard VDE 0620-1 with respect to water tightness. A larger wall thickness would cause the plug can not be properly inserted into the connector receptacle, because the sealing contour would oppose the insertion too high resistance due to their rigidity.
  • the second section is constructed sleeve-shaped.
  • the sleeve-shaped second portion forms an extension of the cup-shaped first portion of the plug receptacle opposite to the plugging direction of the plug, and the sealing contour is at a Plug facing end portion of the second portion and forms an extension thereof in the direction of the plug.
  • the formation of the sealing contour as an extension of the connector receptacle allows a particularly simple production, since the mold used for the production of the socket can continue to do without a core.
  • the surface of the plug viewed in the plug-in direction of the plug before the run-on slope, has a sealing edge on which the sealing edge of the sealing contour comes to lie sealingly in the plugged state of the plug.
  • the sealing edge of the sealing contour ensures optimum sealing.
  • the design or arrangement of the sealing edge is crucial.
  • the sealing contour has an end face which, at the same time, viewed in the insertion direction of the plug, is the first end face of the base housing, and in that this end face forms a sealing edge with an inner surface of the sealing contour.
  • Fig.1 shows a side view of a socket according to the invention.
  • the socket has a base housing 1, which consists of a mounting flange 2 and a connector receptacle 3.
  • a protective flap 11 is pivotally mounted on the base housing 1, more precisely on the mounting flange 2.
  • Fig.2 shows a socket according to Fig.1 , but in sectional view.
  • the plug receptacle 3 has two sections 7, 9 in this exemplary embodiment.
  • a first portion 7 is seen in the insertion direction 10 of the plug, arranged behind a plug facing the mounting flange 8 and has cup-shaped shape.
  • Behind the Montageflanschober Structure 8 and at the same time behind the section 7 is also still a contact 21, to which, however, will not be discussed further.
  • the sealing contour 5 has a smaller wall thickness than the second section 9 of the plug receptacle 3 and is thereby slightly pivotable about the end 14 of the second section 9 or the sleeve-shaped sealing contour 5 can thereby slightly expand up to the end 14.
  • sealing contour 5 and second section 9 can still by one or more, preferably in the insertion direction 10 extending stiffening webs 4a, 4b (see Figure 6 ), which preferably extend from the mounting flange surface 8 to the free end of the sealing contour 5, wherein their extent in the circumferential direction of the sealing contour 5, however, less than 10% of the circumference of the sealing contour 5 makes.
  • the inner, the plug-facing surface 18 of the sealing contour 5 is substantially parallel to the axis 19 of the socket or to the insertion direction 10.
  • the removal of the inner surface 18 of the sealing contour 5 of the axis 19 of the socket is greater than the distance of the inner surface 20 of the sleeve-shaped second portion 9 from the axis 19 or in other words, the inner diameter of the sleeve-shaped sealing contour 5 is greater than the inner diameter of the sleeve-shaped second portion.
  • Figure 3 shows detail A Fig.2 .
  • Figure 4 shows a socket according to the invention according to the Fig. 1 to 3 with opened protective flap 11 in a sectional view.
  • Figure 5 shows detail B Figure 4 .
  • Figure 6 shows an axonometric view of a socket according to the invention with open protective flap 11.
  • the sealing contour 5 according to the invention which is practically the free end of the plug receptacle 3 forms and is made in one piece with the second portion 9 of the connector receptacle 3 and of the same material as this.
  • Figure 7 shows an axonometric view of a socket according to the invention together with the plug 6, so an inventive electrical plug-in device system.
  • Figure 8 shows such an electrical connector system in a sectional view. On the details of the connector 6 will not be discussed at this point.
  • the sealing contour 5 with its inner sealing edge 15 seals against the surface of the plug 6.
  • the surface of the plug 6 is provided in the region of the impact of the sealing edge 15 with a run-on slope 16, in front of which in the insertion direction 10 seen a substantially parallel to the axis 19 extending sealing edge 17 is arranged.
  • the sealing edge 15 comes to lie on the sealing edge 17 whereby the penetration of water into the connector receptacle 3 is prevented.
  • Figure 9 shows detail C. Figure 8 , wherein the interaction between the sealing edge 15 of the sealing contour 5 and the sealing edge 17 of the plug 6 is clearly visible. As a result, an optimal seal is achieved, wherein the embodiment or
