Abstract

A contacting arrangement is provided for electrically connecting a test stand (1) to a component (2) to be tested, comprising a test stand connection cable (3) which comprises a connection plug (4) for connection to the component (2), wherein the connection cable (3) in the region of the connector plug (4) has at least one securing element (5).

Description

The present invention relates to a contacting arrangement for electrically connecting a test stand with a component to be tested according to the closer defined in the preamble of claim 1. Art.

The testing of components, such as transmissions or gear parts at the end of the assembly process is usually realized by a suitable test stand. For this purpose, the device under test is connected to the test stand via a connecting cable, for example for transmitting electrical signals or the like. The test stand connection cable has a connector that connects the connection cable to the component under test. When testing the component, it is necessary that the connection cable is short-circuit proof and shielded. This type of connection cables are expensive to manufacture and therefore expensive.

The present invention is based on the object to propose a contacting arrangement of the type described above, which enables a short-circuit-proof electrical connection between the component to be tested and the test bench as inexpensively as possible.

This object is achieved by the features of claim 1, wherein advantageous embodiments of the dependent claims and the description and the drawings.

Thus, a contacting arrangement is proposed for electrically connecting a test stand with a component to be tested with a test bench connection cable, which comprises a connection plug for connection to the component. The connection cable has at least one securing element for short-circuit protection in the region of the connection plug.

In this way, a contacting arrangement with a connecting cable and a connecting plug is proposed in which, depending on the number of cores provided, at least one securing element is integrated or implemented. In this way, the electrical connection is short-circuit proof, without a high-quality connection cable with appropriate shielding or the like must be used. Rather, in the proposed contacting arrangement, a cost-effective normal connection cable can be used as needed with one or more wires.

According to the invention, in the context of a preferred embodiment variant with the contacting arrangement, the test stand can be connected to a hybrid module of a transmission. As part of the test method, the hybrid module is used as a generator, which is why it is necessary to provide a short-circuit-proof power-assured connection between the hybrid module and the test stand, which is ensured in a very simple manner by the contacting arrangement according to the invention.

The respectively provided a wire associated fuse element of the contacting is quasi integrated into a housing of the connector and preferably arranged between a Kontaktierpinanschluss for connection to the transmission or with the hybrid module and a connection terminal for connecting the connector with the connection cable. In order to arrange each fuse elements structurally simple in the connector, each fuse element is associated with a fuse element holder or the like.

In order to facilitate an exchange of defective fuse elements in the simplest way, it can be provided that each fuse element holder on the housing has a releasably attachable lid, so that if necessary, the fuse element can be easily replaced by the opening of the lid.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings. Show it:

1 a schematic view of a possible embodiment of a contacting arrangement according to the invention;

2 a three-dimensional schematic view of a connector plug of the contacting arrangement; and

3 another three-dimensional schematic view of the connector.

In the 1 to 3 are different views of a possible embodiment of a contacting arrangement according to the invention for electrically connecting a test stand 1 with a component to be tested 2 via a test bench connection cable 3 shown. By way of example, the illustrated contacting arrangement connects as a component 2 a hybrid module of a transmission with the test bench 1 ,

The proposed contacting arrangement includes the test stand connection cable 3 which has a connector 4 for connecting to the gearbox 2 having. According to the invention it is provided that the connection cable 3 in the area of the connector 4 at least one securing element 5 having. For a connection cable 3 with multiple strands or wires, for example, three wires A, B, C, each wire A, B, C is a fuse element 5 assigned. As a result, the connector is 4 not as a single plug, but as a multiple plug. In the multiple plug, each wire A, B, C is a contact pin terminal 6 assigned, via each of the connector 4 with the component 2 or the hybrid module is connectable.

1 shows that in the case 7 of the connector 4 one fuse element holder each 8th for holding the associated securing element 5 integrated or implemented. The multi-core connection cable 3 each wire A, B, C is a fuse element holder 8th assigned. Each fuse element holder 8th has to replace the respective associated fuse element 5 on the housing 7 a releasably attachable lid 9 on, as in particular in 2 and 3 is shown.

The connector 4 has a connection port 10 to connect to the connection cable 3 on. The in the 2 and 3 exemplified connection connection 10 is as a compression fitting for the connection cable 3 to the test bench 1 shown. Furthermore, the lids 9 the fuse element holder 8th as a screw-on lid 9 exemplified.
