Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Anschlusselement, insbesondere einen Stecker oder Adapter, für elektrische Steckverbindungen mit einer Steckdose, welche mit einem gegen die Wirkung einer Rückstellfeder öffenbaren Klappdeckel verschließbar ist.The invention relates to a connection element, in particular a plug or adapter, for electrical plug-in connections with a socket, which can be closed with a hinged lid openable against the action of a return spring.

Derartige Steckverbindungen werden bspw. im Kraftfahrzeugbereich eingesetzt. Ein öffenbarer Klappdeckel ist an dem Steckdosengehäuse deswegen angelenkt, weil die im Inneren der Steckdose aufgenommenen Kontakte bei Nichtbenutzung der Steckdose gegen Spritzwasser und dgl. Verschmutzungen geschützt werden sollen. Der Klappdeckel erschwert allerdings das Einstecken eines Steckers bzw. eines Adapters, d.h. eines Anschlusselements für den Übergang einer Steckdose zu einem Stecker mit unterschiedlicher Polzahl, also bspw. von einer 13-poligen Steckdose (nach ISO11446) zu einem 7-poligen Stecker (bspw. nach ISO1724). Bei herkömmlichen Steckverbindungen muss der Anwender den Deckel der Steckdose mit der Hand öffnen, um den Stecker oder Adapter einstecken zu können. Auch während des Einsteckens, d.h. einer Drehbewegung zur Herstellung einer Bajonettverriegelung zwischen Steckdose und Stecker bzw. Adapter muss der Anwender den Deckel mit der Hand geöffnet halten.Such connectors are used, for example. In the automotive field. An openable hinged lid is hinged to the socket housing, because the recorded inside the socket contacts to be protected when not using the socket against splashing water and the like. Pollutions. However, the hinged lid complicates the insertion of a plug or an adapter, ie a connection element for the transition of a socket to a plug with a different number of poles, ie, for example. From a 13-pin socket (according to ISO11446) to a 7-pin connector (eg. according to ISO1724). In conventional plug-in connections, the user has to open the cover of the socket by hand to insert the plug or adapter can. Even during insertion, ie a rotational movement to produce a bayonet lock between the socket and plug or adapter, the user must hold the lid open by hand.

Aus der DE 202 04 423 U1 ist eine solche Steckdose mit Klappdeckel zum Verschließen der Einstecköffnung bekannt. Um das Einstecken eines Steckers in die Einstecköffnung zu erleichtern, sind Mittel zum Verrasten des Deckels in seiner Öffnungsstellung und Mittel zum Entrasten des Deckels bei Erreichen der Einsteckstellung des Steckers vorgesehen.From the DE 202 04 423 U1 is such a socket with hinged lid for closing the insertion known. In order to facilitate the insertion of a plug into the insertion, means for locking the lid in its open position and means for unlocking the lid are provided upon reaching the insertion position of the plug.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein Anschlusselement, also insbesondere einen Stecker oder Adapter, vorzuschlagen, welcher eine Einhandbedienung beim Einstecken und Verriegeln des Anschlusselements in die bzw. mit der Steckdose zulässt.Object of the present invention is to provide a connection element, ie in particular a plug or adapter, which allows a one-handed operation during insertion and locking of the connection element in or with the socket.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Dabei ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass das Gehäuse des Anschlusselements der eingangs genannten Art auf seiner Außenseite mit einer Deckelöffnungsführung versehen ist, die als eine etwa in Umfangsrichtung verlaufende Leiste ausgebildet ist, welche einstückig mit dem Anschlusselement-Gehäuse ausgebildet sein kann.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. It is provided in particular that the housing of the connection element of the type mentioned above is provided on its outer side with a cover opening guide, which is designed as an approximately extending in the circumferential direction bar, which may be integrally formed with the connection element housing.

Aufgrund der Deckelöffnungsführung ist es möglich, dass das Anschlusselement nach dem Ansetzen an die Steckdose mit nur noch einer Hand eingesteckt und durch Drehbewegung in die Verriegelungsposition überführt werden kann, wenn mit Hilfe der Deckelöffnungsführung der Klappdeckel der Steckdose angehoben wird. Weil der Klappdeckel der Steckdose an seinem freien Ende in der Regel mit einer vorspringenden Grifflasche versehen ist, kann die Deckelöffnungsführung sogar von Anfang an dazu dienen, vor dem eigentlichen Drehsteckvorgang den Klappdeckel der Steckdose mit dem Anschlusselement selbst anzuheben, so dass das Anschlusselement bis in seine Ausgangsdrehstecklage geführt werden kann. Die zweite Hand des Anwenders wird so für den Einsteckvorgang überhaupt nicht benötigt.Due to the lid opening guide, it is possible that the connection element can be inserted after attachment to the socket with only one hand and transferred by rotation in the locked position when using the cover opening guide the hinged lid of the socket is raised. Because the hinged lid of the socket is usually provided at its free end with a projecting gripping tab, the lid opening guide can even serve from the beginning to raise the hinged lid of the socket with the connection element itself before the actual rotary plugging operation, so that the connection element into his Output rotary plug position can be performed. The second hand of the user is not needed at all for the insertion process.

Anschlusselemente der geschilderten Art haben in der Regel (wenn sie nach ISO-Norm konzipiert sind) eine Deckelauflageplattform für den Klappdeckel der Steckdose. Diese Deckelauflageplattform ist dafür vorgesehen, dass sich der geöffnete Klappdeckel der Steckdose nach dem vollständigen Einstecken und Verriegeln des Anschlusselements in die bzw. der Steckdose auf die Deckelauflageplattform auflegen kann, so dass die Innenseite des geöffneten Klappdeckels während der Nutzung der Steckverbindung, also bspw. beim Fahrzeugbetrieb, gegen Spritzwasser oder ähnliche Verschmutzungen geschützt ist und die Dichtfunktion des darin untergebrachten Dichtringes, welcher bei geschlossenem Klappdeckel mit der Vorderseite des Steckdosen-Gehäuses zusammenwirkt, nicht beeinträchtigt wird.Connection elements of the type described have usually (if they are designed according to ISO standard) a cover support platform for the hinged lid of the socket. This lid support platform is provided so that the opened hinged lid of the socket after the complete insertion and locking of the connection element in the or the socket on the Can put on lid support platform, so that the inside of the hinged lid during use of the connector, so for example. When the vehicle is protected against splashing water or similar contamination and the sealing function of the housed therein sealing ring which cooperates with the hinged lid with the front of the socket housing , is not affected.

Für diesen Fall ist es von weiterem Vorteil, dass die äußere Führungsfläche der Deckelöffnungsführung von einem gehäusenahen Ende in Umfangsrichtung kontinuierlich bis zur Höhe der Deckelauflageplattform ansteigt. Auf diese Weise wird beim Drehstecken das Anschlusselements in die Verriegelungsstellung in der Steckdose der Klappdeckel allmählich weiter angehoben und gelangt schließlich bis auf die Höhe der Deckelauflageplattform, auf welcher der Klappdeckel dann selbsttätig ohne Mithilfe der zweiten Hand des Verwenders seine ebene Auflage findet.In this case, it is further advantageous that the outer guide surface of the lid opening guide increases continuously from a housing end in the circumferential direction up to the height of the lid support platform. In this way, the connection element is gradually raised further in the locking position in the socket of the hinged lid during rotation and finally reaches the height of the lid support platform on which the hinged lid then automatically finds his level support without the help of the user's second hand.

Zur Erleichterung der Bedienung kann ferner in Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgedankens die Deckelöffnungsführung an ihrem gehäusenahen Ende mit einer Griffmulde versehen, insbesondere als solche ausgebildet sein.To facilitate the operation, the lid opening guide may further be provided at its end near the housing with a recessed grip in particular development of the inventive concept, in particular be designed as such.

Das in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte und zur Veranschaulichung als Adapter ausgebildete Anschlusselement 1 hat ein mit einem klappbaren Deckel 11 versehenes Gehäuse 4. Das Gehäse 4 ist mit einer Deckelauflageplattform 6 für die Auflage eines mit einer vorspringenden Grifflasche 9 versehenen Klappdeckels 3 einer aus den Figuren 3a bis 3c ersichtlichen Steckdose 2 ausgestattet. Auf der einen Seite des Umfangs des Gehäuses 4 ist dieses mit einer bogenartig geschwungenen, als etwa in Umfangsrichtung verlaufenden Leiste mit einer Führungsfläche 10 ausgestatteten Deckelöffnungsführung 5 versehen. Die Deckelöffnungsführung 5 erstreckt sich von einem gehäusenahen Ende 7 kontinuierlich radial erweiternd bis etwa auf die Höhe der Deckelauflageplattform 6 an seinem anderen der Deckelplattform 6 zugewandten Ende 12. An dem deckelnahen Ende 7 hat die Deckelöffnungsführung 5 eine ergonomisch gestaltete Griffmulde 8, welche das Verdrehen des Anschlusselements gegenüber der Steckdose 2 erleichtert.This in Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated and designed as an adapter as an adapter connection element 1 has a provided with a hinged lid 11 housing 4. The casing 4 is provided with a lid support platform 6 for supporting a provided with a projecting handle latch 9 hinged lid 3 of the FIGS. 3a to 3c apparent outlet 2 equipped. On one side of the circumference of the housing 4, this is provided with an arcuately curved, as extending approximately in the circumferential direction bar with a guide surface 10 equipped lid opening guide 5. The lid opening guide 5 extends from a housing near end 7 continuously expanding radially to about the height of the lid support platform 6 at its other end of the lid platform 6 facing end 12 at the lid near end 7, the lid opening guide 5 has an ergonomically designed grip 8, which is the twisting of the Connection element against the socket 2 facilitates.

Aus den Figuren 3a bis 3b, bei welchen das Anschlusselement 1 in fortschreitenden Drehverriegelungspositionen relativ zu der Steckdose 2 dargestellt ist, ergibt sich die Funktionsweise des Anschlusselements 1 mit Deckelöffnungsführung 5. Aus Fig. 3a ist ersichtlich, wie der Klappdeckel 3 der Steckdose 2 mit Hilfe der Deckelöffnungsführung 5 und der vorspringenden Griffflasche 9 angehoben werden kann, ohne dass der Verwender seine zweite Hand benötigt. Es bleibt ihm also erspart, den eventuell außen verschmutzten Klappdeckel 3 mit der Hand anzugreifen. In der in Fig. 3b veranschaulichten Position ist der Adapter 1 relativ zu der Ausgangslage von Fig. 3a nach rechts verdreht, wobei die Griffmulde 8 behilflich ist. Der Klappdeckel 3 ist aufgrund des radialen Anstiegs der Führungsfläche 10 der Deckelöffnungsführung 5 weiter angehoben und zwar schon fast bis auf die Höhe der Deckelauflageplattform 6 an dem Anschlusselement 1. In Fig. 3c ist das Anschlusselement 1 bis in seine Endverriegelungsstellung der zwischen Steckdose 2 und Anschlusselement 1 vorgesehenen Bajonettverriegelung gelangt. Man erkennt, dass der Klappdeckel 3 der Steckdose 1 selbsttätig bis auf die Oberseite der Deckelauflageplattform 6 gelangt ist und dort eben aufliegt, so dass seine Innenseite geschützt ist. Der gesamte Dreh-Steck-Vorgang erlaubt eine Ein-Hand-Bedienung.From the FIGS. 3a to 3b , in which the connecting element 1 is shown in progressive rotational locking positions relative to the socket 2, the operation of the connecting element 1 results Cover opening guide 5. Off Fig. 3a It can be seen how the hinged lid 3 of the socket 2 can be lifted by means of the lid opening guide 5 and the projecting handle bottle 9, without the user needs his second hand. He is thus spared to attack the possibly contaminated outside hinged lid 3 by hand. In the in Fig. 3b illustrated position, the adapter 1 relative to the starting position of Fig. 3a twisted to the right, the grip 8 is helpful. The hinged lid 3 is further raised due to the radial increase of the guide surface 10 of the lid opening guide 5 and indeed almost to the level of the lid support platform 6 on the connecting element 1. In Fig. 3c is the connection element 1 until its end locking position of the provided between socket 2 and connection element 1 bayonet lock arrives. It can be seen that the hinged lid 3 of the socket 1 is automatically up to the top of the lid support platform 6 passes and rests flat there, so that its inside is protected. The entire turn-plug procedure allows one-hand operation.
