Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective cap for a connector for the arrangement on a cable, a corrugated tube or the like according to the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Connectors that are arranged at the end of a cable are known.
  • so-called anti-kink sleeves are arranged in the transition area between this end of the connector and the exit area of the cable. These can also be used to seal between the cable jacket and the connector housing.
  • so-called protective caps in the transition area across the end of the connector and the entry area of the cable, as can be found, for example, at https://www.binder-connector.com or https://www. strig-schmidt .de/ are shown.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that the protective cap consists of two parts, in particular two halves of the same type, the two parts being connected to one another via at least one film hinge and at least one latching geometry being present which connects the two parts to one another after they have been folded together ,
  • the at least one locking geometry is integrated into the interior of the protective cap and does not protrude beyond the outer surface.
  • the at least one film hinge is preferably designed as a bracket that is attached to both parts of the protective cap within the outer contour and has such a shape and length that the bracket is mounted within the outer contour of the protective cap after the parts are folded together.
  • the at least one or the only film hinge is automatically drawn in and protruding, which can lead to injuries during handling or snagging/snagging in subsequent processes, is prevented.
  • the at least one or only film hinge has a bending geometry that runs in a defined manner, via which the drawing-in process is defined or controlled.
  • the "defined bending geometry" is realized in practice, for example, by the fact that the defined design of the length and position of the film hinge tensions it when the protective cap halves are closed and automatically pulls it against the inner housing wall. More than one film hinge can also be considered.
  • openings and projections that match one another in the form of pins or pins, be provided on the surfaces of the parts of the protective cap that face one another.
  • This configuration ensures that the two parts of the protective cap are positioned precisely in relation to one another after they have been assembled. As a result, there is a homogeneous transition on the lateral grip contours. An offset is excluded, so that there are no sharp edges in the handle contour. If only one side is loaded during the assembly process by the worker or an assembly tool, the force is transferred to the second side. This prevents unwanted forces acting on the latch, the corrugated tube or the plug.
  • the protective cap has a gripping contour on at least one outer surface. If the protective cap is designed with an axial orientation between the connector and the cable, then it is expedient if the at least one gripping contour is arranged at the transition between the plug-in area and the cable connection. In the case of such a protective cap, it is also proposed that gripping contours be arranged on all outer surfaces of the protective cap. This is a roughness-optimized surface for improved adhesion.
  • the roughness of the surface can result from different geometry contours. Additionally or alternatively, it is also conceivable that by a Applying an additional material (for example in a 2-component spraying process, an adhesive strip or the like) improves adhesion.
  • an additional material for example in a 2-component spraying process, an adhesive strip or the like
  • the grip contour is preferably provided all the way around.
  • handle contours can also be provided in sections (for example two sections that are provided opposite each other, or more than two sections, preferably distributed symmetrically over the protective cap).
  • the grip contour is preferably provided all around.
  • handle contours can also be provided in sections (for example, two sections that are provided opposite one another, or also two further sections that are also opposite one another).
  • the gripping contour be provided on the back of the protective cap, ie on the opposite side of the plug connector.
  • indentations or grooves with furrows or recesses arranged in between are worked into the handle contours. Due to the extension between the cable connection and the plug connection, in particular with a coaxial design of the protective cap, an optimized undercut geometry is achieved for the best possible power transmission achieved. Optimized rounding of the at least one handle contour, free of corners and edges, reduces the risk of injury to workers and relieves the hands or fingertips during the assembly process.

  • FIG 2 a protective cap according to Figure 1 in pivoted
  • Figure 3 a side view of a protective cap with angular orientation between the connector and the cable connection
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 perspective views of an axially aligned protective cap
  • FIG. 6 the protective cap according to FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5 in an embodiment opened by means of a film hinge

  • the reference numeral 1 denotes a protective cap, which is designed according to Figures 1, 2, 4 to 6 with an axial alignment between a receptacle for a connector and a cable or the like.
  • a corrugated pipe, inside which a cable to the plug connector runs, can also be arranged at the connection opening designated by the reference number 2 .
  • the cable or its cable jacket can also be arranged directly in the connection opening 2 .
  • the protective cap 1 has gripping contours 3 on at least one peripheral surface, or on two peripheral surfaces (preferably two peripheral surfaces located opposite one another) or, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, on all peripheral surfaces, which are provided with notches, grooves 10 or the like with furrows 11 or constrictions arranged in between .
  • the protective cap 1 consists of two parts or halves 4 and 4a, which can be assembled after inserting the connector and the corrugated tube or cable sheath or the like.
  • the parts or halves 4 and 4a are connected to one another via a film hinge 6 and have a latching geometry 7 which ensures latching of the two halves 4 and 4a after the parts have been assembled.
  • pins 8 are arranged in part 4 or half 4, which fit into openings 9 in the other half 4a, so that the two parts or halves 4 and 4a are brought together so precisely when they are joined that in the area of the handle contours 3 there are no edges or protrusions that could injure a hand.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show, for example, that the protective cap 1 is designed with an essentially rectangular cross-section, with the handle contours 3 being cut in sections (two sections that are opposite one another on the shorter sides of the rectangle and two others that are also on the longer sides of the rectangle opposite sections) are provided.
  • the gripping contours provided on the sides when viewing FIGS. 4 and 5 serve above all for optimal power transmission during the plugging process in which the protective cap 1 is used.
  • the handle contours provided above and below when viewing FIGS. 4 and 5 are optimized for handling the protective cap 1, not only during the insertion process but also otherwise.
  • the upper handle contour can optionally have a clearance (opening, recess or the like) for a securing element (also called CPA [Connector Position Assurance]), with which a plug connection, consisting of plug connector and mating connector, is secured after they have been plugged together by actuating the Fuse element to prevent subsequent disassembly.
  • CPA Connector Position Assurance
  • latching geometry 7 which is present exactly three times when looking at FIGS. Any of these The locking geometry is integrated (recessed) within the protective cap 1, so that this locking geometry does not protrude here either. Of course, more or fewer than three latching geometries 7 can also be used.
  • the protective cap is denoted by 1a and is designed in such a way that an angle, in the present case a right angle, is provided between the receptacle for a plug connector and the connection opening 2.
  • the gripping contour 3a with the associated grooves 10 and furrows 11 is arranged on the side of the protective cap 1 facing away from the socket for the connector, in order to be able to apply a linear pressure to the connector during assembly.
  • This protective cap 1a also has a film hinge 6a and a locking geometry 7a so that the two parts 5, 5a or halves of this protective cap 1a can be easily joined and fixed.
