Definitions
- the invention relates to a connector assembly with a first electrical connector with an actuating slide and with a second complementary connector, wherein the actuating slide is integrated in the first connector and cooperates with the second connector to insert the pair of connectors into one another, during the actuation of the actuating slide
- a pin is moved through a guide groove or a guide slot and the pin is moved in the opposite direction through the guide groove or the guide slot during the actuation of the actuating slide to separate the plug.
- An electrical plug arrangement in particular for door plugs in automobiles, is known from EP 587 174 A2.
- the connector arrangement has one insulating housing and an actuating slide which is U-shaped. By actuating the actuating slide, the connector housing is brought into the end position.
- the actuating slide has two slots on each flank of the U.
- the actuating slide In order to connect the two complementary plugs to one another, the actuating slide must be in a first position, the entry position. When assembling the actuating slide is then brought into a second position, the end position. In this position the two plugs are connected to each other.
- the invention has for its object to provide an electrical connector assembly with an actuating slide, in which the assembly of the individual connectors is simplified.
- the connector assembly with the features according to the invention according to claim 1 has means for locking the actuating slide in the pre-locking position, in which the pin can be inserted into the guide groove or the guide slot, and means for unlocking are provided on the second connector, such that when Assembling the plug, the means for locking are unlocked to such an extent that the actuating slide can be moved in the pre-locking position into the end position in which the plugs are contacted.
- the means for locking in the pre-locking position are opened to such an extent that the actuating slide can be moved from the pre-locking position into the end position.
- the first latching position is the pre-latching position in which the pins can be inserted into the guide groove
- the second position is the end position in which the two plugs are connected to one another.
- the latching means are designed such that the actuating slide can be easily moved between the pre-latched position and the end position, but can only be removed from the plug with difficulty. This already ensures that the actuating slide, once it is inserted into the plug, is not lost. When transporting it is important, however, that the operating slide is not pushed in either. This is achieved by means of locking.
- the means for locking can be designed, for example, as a resilient arm with a locking lug, which prevent the actuating slide from being pushed from the pre-locking position into the end position.
- a pin can then be provided on the second plug, with which the resilient arm with the latching lug is bent back when the second plug is inserted into the first plug, in such a way that the actuating slide can be pushed from the pre-latched position into the end position.
- the pin on the second connector interacts both with the guide slot or the guide groove with the actuating slide and also serves to unlock the resilient arm. This can save funds.
- a resilient arm can also be provided on the side of the plug facing away from the second plug .
- this resilient arm cannot be actuated directly by the pin on the second connector, it can be actuated, for example, by means of a wedge through the pin on the second connector. Unlocking is also possible by inserting the second connector.
- the connector arrangement with the features according to the invention has the actuating slide
- Means for locking on This can be done through a
- FIG. 1 shows a top view of a first plug of a first arrangement according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the plug according to FIG. 1
- FIGS. 3a to 3c the assembly of the plug arrangement in three steps
- a first electrical connector 1 is shown in a plan.
- a U-shaped actuating slide 2 with a handle 13 and two flanks 14, 15 is shown.
- the actuating slide is in the pre-locked position.
- the housing of the first plug has a resilient arm 6 with a detent 7 as a means for locking.
- the latching lug 7 extends into the guide slot for the actuating slide 2 in such a way that it cannot be pushed from the latching position into the end position without the actuation of the resilient arm 6.
- FIG. 2 shows a section through the connector shown in FIG. 1.
- a section along section line A is shown in the upper half and a section along section line B is shown in the lower half.
- FIG. 3a shows the first plug 1 with the actuating slide 2, the actuating slide having already been introduced into the first plug 1 in the pre-locking position.
- a flank 14, the handle 13 and part of the guide slot 5 can be seen on the actuating slide.
- the part already inserted in the connector is shown in dashed lines. You can see one attached to the connector Latch 8 and a corresponding stop 7 on the operating slide 2. These two locking means prevent the operating slide from being removed from the plug from the pre-locked position.
- the second connector 3 is also shown in FIG. 3a.
- the plug has a pin 4 on the side which, when the plug is inserted into the first plug 1, first bends the resilient arm 6 with the locking lug and is then inserted into the guide slot 5. This process is shown in Figure 3b. If the actuating slide 2 is then pushed into the first connector, the second connector 3 is moved towards the first connector and the two connectors are connected to one another, as shown in FIG.
- the second connector 3 is inserted with the pin 4 in the first connector 1 and engages behind the locking lug 7 of the resilient arm 6, the second connector 3 is already captively connected to the first connector. For final contacting, the operating slide 2 must then be inserted, as already described.
- FIGS. 4a to 4c A second exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 4a to 4c.
- the locking means for holding the actuating slide in the pre-locking position is not attached laterally to the first connector, as in the first embodiment, but engages behind the actuating slide from the side facing away from the second connector.
- the resilient arm 6 ' is shown in the figures, but the first plug cannot be seen.
- the resilient arm 6 ' is unlocked by inserting the second plug with the pin 4.
- the unlocking takes place in that a wedge 9 is arranged in a corresponding groove between the resilient arm 6 'and the pin 4.
- This wedge 9 can for example have locking lugs 10, with which it can be fixed in corresponding locking grooves 12 in the guide groove of the wedge 9.
- the wedge 9 is brought by means of the pin 4 on the second connector from the first to the second pre-locking position.
- Figures 5a-5d show a third embodiment.
- An actuating slide 22 which can be inserted into the first plug 21 has a guide slot 25.
- the actuating slide 22 is U-shaped and has resilient arms 26 on the flanks which are inserted into the first plug, the free end of which is on the side of the actuating slide 22 facing the plug.
- the spring arms 26 are bent back by a force F and the actuating slide can be inserted.
- the advantage of such an arrangement is that the force F acts laterally on the actuating slide and can be exerted by hand when the actuating slide is closed.
- the very simple structure is another advantage of this arrangement. Due to the resilient arms, the actuating slide can only be pushed into the plug if these are bent back.
- the actuating slide can be fixed in the various latching positions, as indicated in the first exemplary embodiment.
- An additional locking with the resilient arm in the end position, by corresponding lugs on the resilient arm, is conceivable.
