Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cable strain relief according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a cable strain relief is a connector that is to be coupled to the outer circumference of a cable and allows forces acting in the longitudinal direction of the cable, i. H. axial forces transmitted through the cable to an external structure.
  • a cable typically contains a plurality of individual insulated conductors, which are also covered with a braided shield, it must be ensured that the cable or conductors are not torn out of the connection arrangement.
  • a known in the art type of cable strain relief has z.
  • B two tubular parts having cooperating conical surfaces. An interior portion formed slotted, wherein the slot typically extends axially from one end to the proximate other end, such that axially extending tabs are formed.
  • the US 5,180,316 A discloses a generally tubular, longitudinally split connector body which is crimped at one of its ends about an exposed shield of a cable. In this embodiment, attempts are made by means of a crimping and thus a mechanical deformation of a connecting body to achieve a solid and therefore permanent connection with the cable sheath.
  • a disadvantage of this type of connection solution is that a large-scale investment of the crimp inner sleeve leads to the cable jacket that the plastic flows away and a permanent connection is not guaranteed or at least problems may occur in the application.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a strain relief, a cable, in particular with a cable shield, in particular large cable cross-sections, ie cross sections> 30 mm 2 can be attached using a simple tool and a permanent and tight connection with the cable manufacture.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a connector 100 according to the invention with a cable strain relief according to the invention 1.
  • the connector 100 is shown here as a circular connector, which is connected to a cable 2, here a shielded cable 2 by means of Jardinzugentlastung 1.
  • the connector 100 has a holding portion 101, which is connected to the connecting portion 4 of the cable strain relief 1.
  • the connecting portion 4 in the present embodiment an inner connecting portion which can be secured, for example, with a thread on the holding portion 101 of the connector 100.
  • the cable strain relief 1 comprises two crimping sections, specifically a first crimping section 30 and a second crimping section 40 spaced therefrom.
  • the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show the crimped state of the crimping sleeve 3 of the cable strain relief.
  • An essential part of the cable strain relief 1 is therefore the cylindrically shaped crimp barrel 3 or tubular crimp barrel 3.
  • the cable 2 is introduced with its cable sheath 20 and the folded back braid 22, as shown in Fig. 3 is apparent.
  • crimp sleeve 3 is shown in not yet crimped state, so that the outer sheath 34 is formed contourless.
  • a cable engagement 35 On the inner jacket 32 of the crimping sleeve 3, in the region of the first crimping section 30, there is a cable engagement 35, which in the present exemplary embodiment is designed as an inner circumferential annular section 31.
  • the inner circumferential ring portion 31 may be completely closed circumferentially or sequentially interrupted on the inner shell 32 may be arranged.
  • the annular portion 31 is formed tip-shaped or with a sharp contour for engagement in the cable sheath.
  • In cross-section results in a substantially triangular pointed shape, which is preferably tuned in its geometry to the hardness of the cable sheath 20.
  • the left and right sections adjacent to the crimping section are crimped with a crimping tool so that the ring section 31 penetrates into the cable sheath 20 and digs there.
  • the second crimping portion 40 adjacent to the first crimping portion 30 is different from the former.
  • the second crimping section 40 consists of two separate means, namely an annular groove 42 formed on the inner jacket 32 and a ring element 41 corresponding to this groove.
  • the ring member 41 is mounted between the cable sheath 20 and the folded back at the end of the cable 2 cable shield namely the screen braid 22. So then the crimp barrel, as in Fig. 3 shown, pushed over the cable sheath 20, as far as until the annular groove 42 is located above or around the ring member 41. In this position, the crimping sleeve 3 is crimped by means of a crimping tool so that the in Fig. 4 illustrated contour is formed.
  • the ring portion 31 penetrates into the cable sheath 20, while the areas are compressed around the second crimping portion 40 and crimped onto the cable sheath, that the less crimped crimping portion 40 is pressed into the ring member 41 and between the shield braid 22 is received.
  • the crimped sleeve consists of three holding portions 36, which are each interrupted by one of the crimping portions 30, 40.
  • the holding portions of the crimping sleeve 30 are pressed in the compressed and deformed state on the cable sheath 20 so that they connect the cable strain relief 1 fixed to the cable sheath.
  • the connection as described above is made with the cable sheath and the cable shield.
  • a cable strain relief 1 could similarly be provided for unshielded cables having two identical or similar crimping portions 30 with cable engagements 35.
  • the ring portion 31 is advantageously designed so that at its the cable sheath 20 facing crest line 33 a tip or more tips or teeth are arranged, preferably as in Fig. 4 shown, the crest line is formed circumferentially as a pointed contour.
