Eine gattungsgemäße Steckeranordnung ist in der DE 100 11 341 gezeigt.A generic connector assembly is in the DE 100 11 341 shown.

Die Übertragung von elektronischen Daten zwischen Rechensystemen über Kabel ist allgemein bekannt. Diese Kabel weisen üblicherweise einen mehrere Pole besitzenden Stecker bzw. Steckverbinder auf, dessen Konfiguration einem rechteckigen Telefonstecker ähnlich ist. Ein vielfach verwendeter 8-poliger-Stecker ist in Fachkreisen als "RJ-45"-Stecker bekannt. Zum Beispiel werden für vernetzte Personal Computer häufig RJ-45-Stecker als Verbindung zu den einzelnen Computern an der Netzkarten-Schnittstelle verwendet.The transmission of electronic data between computing systems via cable is well known. These cables typically have a multi-pole male connector whose configuration is similar to a rectangular telephone jack. A widely used 8-pin connector is known in the art as an "RJ-45" connector. For example, for networked personal computers, RJ-45 connectors are often used to connect to the individual computers on the network card interface.

Ein RJ-45-Kabel ist üblicherweise mit einem an jedem Ende angebrachten RJ-45 -Stecker erhältlich. Bei einigen Anwendungen ist der genormte RJ-45-Stecker anfällig für Beschädigungen und Ausfälle. Beispielsweise ist er für wiederholtes Ein- und Ausstecken in und aus einer Chassis-Steckerbuchse nicht gut geeignet; die Kontakte werden durch falsches Einsetzen leicht verbogen oder verschoben. Die Kunststoff-Rastklinke (Rastarm) kann ermüden und abbrechen, so dass der Stecker dann nicht mehr fest in der Buchse sitzt. Das Kabel selbst ist durch wiederholtes Knicken an der Stelle, an der das Kabel in die Steckerbuchse eintritt, störungsanfällig. Des weiteren kann das Kabel auch durch Längsbelastung aus dem Stecker gerissen werden. Das Steckergehäuse ist aus Kunststoff geformt und wird leicht deformiert oder zerbrochen, wenn man zum Beispiel versehentlich darauf tritt.An RJ-45 cable is usually available with an RJ-45 plug attached to each end. For some applications, the standard RJ-45 connector is prone to damage and failure. For example, it is not well suited for repeated insertion and removal in and out of a chassis receptacle; the contacts will be slightly bent or misplaced by incorrect insertion. The plastic latch (locking arm) can tire and break off, so that the plug is no longer firmly seated in the socket. The cable itself is prone to failure by repeated kinking at the point where the cable enters the receptacle. Furthermore, the cable can be torn by longitudinal load from the plug. The plug housing is molded of plastic and is easily deformed or broken when accidentally stepped on, for example.

Die Erfindung hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Vorrichtung zum Schutz eines Kabelsteckers, insbesondere eines RJ-45-Kabelsteckers, bereitzustellen, durch welche die Gefahr einer Beschädigung während des Einsteckens in eine entsprechende Steckerbuchse, während dieser in der Steckerbuchse eingesetzt ist und beim Herausziehen aus der Steckerbuchse vermieden oder verringert und ein einfaches und zielsicheres Einstecken in die Steckerbuchse ermöglicht werden kann. Erfindungsgemäß gelingt dies durch eine Steckeranordnung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.The object of the invention has been found to provide a device for protecting a cable connector, in particular an RJ-45 cable connector, through which the risk of damage during insertion into a corresponding socket while this is inserted into the socket and when pulling out the plug socket avoided or reduced and allows a simple and accurate insertion into the socket can be. According to the invention, this is achieved by a plug arrangement having the features of patent claim 1.

Vorteilhafterweise kann das Gehäuse der Steckeranordnung zylindrisch und an beiden Enden offen ausgebildet sein und eine querverlaufende Trennwand mit einer geformten Öffnung für die Aufnahme und Positionierung des Kabelsteckers im Gehäuse aufweisen. Durch das koaxial am Kabel angeordnete, radial zusammenpressbare Spannteil kann der Kabelstecker gegen einen an der Trennwand angeordneten Anschlag angedrückt werden und das Kabel im zusammengepressten Zustand des Spannteils geklemmt werden.Advantageously, the housing of the plug assembly may be cylindrical and open at both ends and have a transverse partition with a shaped opening for receiving and positioning the cable plug in the housing. By coaxially arranged on the cable, radially compressible clamping part of the cable connector can be pressed against a arranged on the partition stop and the cable are clamped in the compressed state of the clamping part.

Die konisch sich verjüngende Tülle, die ebenfalls koaxial am Kabel angeordnet ist, kann auf der Rückseite der Anordnung durch die auf der Tülle sitzende Buchse aus dem Gehäuse hervorragen, wobei die Buchse mittels eines Gewindes mit dem Gehäuse verbunden ist.The conically tapered grommet, which is also coaxially disposed on the cable, may protrude from the housing at the rear of the assembly through the socket seated on the grommet, the socket being threadedly connected to the housing.

Wir die Buchse auf dem Gehäuse angezogen, so wird die Tülle in Richtung zum Gehäuse gezogen, wodurch das Spannteil radial gegen das Kabel gepresst wird. Dadurch werden Zugbeanspruchungen des Kabels vom Kabelstecker getrennt und statt dessen auf das Gehäuse übertragen.As we tighten the socket on the housing, the grommet is pulled towards the housing, which presses the clamp radially against the cable. As a result, tensile stresses of the cable are separated from the cable connector and instead transmitted to the housing.

Eine entsprechende Chassis-Steckerbuchse kann die Steckeranordnung mit dem darin angeordneten Kabelstecker aufnehmen und dabei auf ihrer achsialen Stirnseite eine ringförmige Ausnehmung für die Aufnahme und Positionierung des vorderen Endes des Gehäuses aufweisen. Zur Arretierung des Gehäuses, wenn der elektrische Kontakt zwischen dem Kabelstecker und der Steckerbuchse hergestellt ist, kann eine lösbare Federklinke an der Steckerbuchse vorgesehen sein.A corresponding chassis connector socket can receive the connector assembly with the cable connector disposed therein while having on its axial end face an annular recess for receiving and positioning the front end of the housing. For locking the housing, when the electrical contact between the cable plug and the socket is made, a releasable spring latch may be provided on the socket.

Es kann durch die Erfindung eine Schutzvorrichtung für einen Kabelstecker, insbesondere einen RJ-45-Stecker, bereitgestellt werden, die das Einsetzen und Herausnehmen in bzw. aus einer Chassis-Steckerbuchse erleichtert; die den Stecker beim Einsetzen sicher in die Buchsenkontakte führt und den Stecker sicher in der Buchse arretiert, ohne den Arretierungsarm des Kabelsteckers wiederholt zu verbiegen; die das Kabel festhält, um Zugbelastungen des Kabels vom Kabelstecker zu isolieren; die das Kabel vor einem Abknicken nahe der Stelle, an der das Kabel in den Stecker mündet, schützt; und die nachträglich auf jeden vorhandenen Kabelstecker montiert werden kann.It can be provided by the invention, a protection device for a cable connector, in particular an RJ-45 connector, which facilitates the insertion and removal in and out of a chassis female connector; which securely guides the plug into the socket contacts upon insertion and securely locks the plug in the socket without repeatedly bending the locking arm of the cable plug; holding the cable to isolate tensile loads of the cable from the cable connector; the cable from kinking near the Place where the cable opens into the plug protects; and which can be retrofitted to any existing cable connector.

Unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 1 bis 6 kann eine strapazierfähige bzw. langlebige Kabelstecker-Anordnung 10 (Fig. 6, 10, 11) gemäß der Erfindung auf einem bestehenden, genormten Kabelstecker 12, beispielsweise einem RJ-45-Datenstecker, der in herkömmlicher Weise an einem Ende des Datenkabels 14 angeordnet ist, montiert werden. In Fig. 1 und 2 ist der Kabelstecker 12 in zwei unterschiedlichen Ausrichtungen gezeigt, mit den Kontakten 16 nach unten in Fig. 1 (nicht sichtbar) und nach oben in Fig. 2. Der Kabelstecker 12 umfasst einen federnden Arm 58 (bzw. eine Rastklinke), um den Kabelstecker lösbar in seiner eingesteckten Position zu arretieren, wie dies im Stand der Technik bekannt ist.With reference to Fig. 1 to 6 For example, a durable cable connector assembly 10 (FIG. Fig. 6 . 10, 11 ) according to the invention on an existing, standardized cable connector 12, for example, an RJ-45 data connector, which is arranged in a conventional manner at one end of the data cable 14, are mounted. In Fig. 1 and 2 the cable plug 12 is shown in two different orientations, with the contacts 16 down in FIG Fig. 1 (not visible) and up in Fig. 2 , The cable connector 12 includes a resilient arm 58 (or a latch) to releasably lock the cable connector in its inserted position, as is known in the art.

Die Komponenten und die Reihenfolge des Zusammenbaus einer robusten Kabelstecker-Anordnung 10 sind in Fig. 3 bis 5 gezeigt. Ein Spannteil 18 besteht aus elastischem Kunststoff und besitzt eine insgesamt im wesentlichen zylindrische Form über einen ersten Abschnitt 20, auf der dem Kabelstecker 12 zugewandten vorderen Seite, und eine insgesamt im wesentlichen konische Form über einen zweiten Abschnitt 22, auf der vom Kabelstecker abgwandten hinteren Seite. Der Zylinder und Konus sind axial durch Längsschlitze 24, die über einen Abschnitt der gesamten Länge des Spannteils 18 verlaufen, in Segmente unterteils, so dass die konischen Abschnitte, wie nachstehend beschrieben, radial zusammengepresst werden können, damit das Spannteil das Kabel 14 klemmen kann. Des weiteren erstreckt sich einer der Schlitze 24 über die volle Länge des Spannteils 18, so dass das Spannteil auseinandergezogen werden kann und, wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, auf das Kabel aufgeklipst kann.The components and sequence of assembly of a robust cable connector assembly 10 are shown in FIG Fig. 3 to 5 shown. A clamping member 18 is made of elastic plastic and has an overall substantially cylindrical shape over a first portion 20, on the cable connector 12 facing the front side, and an overall substantially conical shape over a second portion 22, on the abgwandten from the cable connector rear side , The cylinder and cone are divided into segments axially by longitudinal slots 24 that extend over a portion of the entire length of the tension member 18 so that the conical sections may be radially compressed as described below to allow the tension member to clamp the cable 14. Furthermore, one of the slots 24 extends the full length of the tension member 18 so that the tension member can be pulled apart and, as in FIG Fig. 3 shown on the cable can be clipped.

Eine Tülle 26 weist ebenfalls einen insgesamt im wesentlichen zylindrischen Abschnitt 28 und einen insgesamt im wesentlichen konischen Abschnitt 30 auf. Die Innenfläche des Abschnittes 28 ist axial verjüngt (von vorne nach hinten), um mit dem konischen Abschnitt 22 des Spannteils 18 zusammenzuwirken, wenn das Spannteil, wie nachstehend beschrieben, in die Tülle 26 eingeschoben wird. Wie das Spannteil 18 ist auch die Tülle 26 axial gespalten, so dass sie auf das Kabel 14 aufgeklipst werden kann. Vorzugsweise ist der konische Abschnitt 30 so geformt, dass er beabstandete, ringförmige Schlitze 32 aufweist. Die Tülle 26 weist einen radialen Flansch 31 auf, der sich um ihr vorderes Ende erstreckt.A spout 26 also has an overall substantially cylindrical portion 28 and an overall substantially conical portion 30. The inner surface of the portion 28 is axially tapered (front to back) to cooperate with the conical portion 22 of the tension member 18 when the tension member is inserted into the spout 26 as described below. Like the clamping part 18 and the spout 26 is axially split so that it can be clipped onto the cable 14. Preferably, the conical portion 30 is shaped to have spaced annular slots 32. The spout 26 has a radial flange 31 which extends around its front end.

Eine Buchse 34 ist im allgemeinen zylindrisch und hat einen Innendurchmesser, der größer als der Außendurchmesser des zylindrischen Tüllenabschnittes 28, jedoch kleiner als der Durchmesser des Flansches 31 ist, so dass die Tülle 26 durch die Buchse 34 geschoben werden kann, aber darin durch den Flansch 31 gehalten wird. Die Buchse 34 kann auf dem Kabel 14 angeordnet werden, indem der Stecker 12 durch die Buchse geschoben wird, bevor die Tülle und das Spannteil auf dem Kabel montiert werden. Die Buchse 34 ist in ihrem der Vorderseite der Steckeranordnung zugwandten Bereich mit einem Innengewinde versehen (in Fig. 3 nicht gezeigt).A sleeve 34 is generally cylindrical and has an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the cylindrical spout portion 28, but less than the diameter of the flange 31, so that the spout 26 can be slid through the sleeve 34 but through the flange therein 31 is held. The bushing 34 can be placed on the cable 14 by sliding the plug 12 through the bushing before mounting the grommet and the tensioning part on the cable. The bushing 34 is provided with an internal threading in its region facing the front side of the plug arrangement (in FIG Fig. 3 Not shown).

Ein C-Ring-Anschlag 36 kann, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, auf das Kabel 14, angrenzend an den Kabelstecker 12, als Schubelement für das Spannteil 18 bei der Montage eingesetzt werden.A C-ring stop 36 may, as in Fig. 4 shown on the cable 14, adjacent to the cable connector 12, are used as a thrust element for the clamping part 18 during assembly.

Ein Gehäuse ist insgesamt im wesentlichen zylindrisch, vorzugsweise aus einem Druckgussmetall, geformt und weist eine querverlaufende Trennwand 40 (Fig. 7, 8,11) mit einer Öffnung 41 (Fig. 11) auf, die dem Querschnittsprofil des Kabelsteckers 12 entspricht. Die Öffnung 41 ist mit einer Ausnehmung 60 für die Aufnahme des federnden Arms 58 und zum Halten des federnden Arms 58 in einer gedrückten Stellung versehen. Die Trennwand 40 ist innerhalb des Gehäuses 38 an einer Längsstelle angeordnet, die so ausgewählt ist, dass sich eine entsprechende Positionierung des Kabelsteckers 12 im Gehäuse ergibt. Das Gehäuse 38 weist einen Außengewinde-Abschnitt 42 zum Zusammenwirken mit der Buchse 34 bei der Montage auf. Vorzugsweise ist das Gehäuse 38 mit einer Längsnut 44 auf seiner Innenseite versehen, um in einer entsprechenden Gegenlängsrippe 46 auf dem Spannteil 18 einzugreifen, so dass ein gegenseitiges Verdrehen bei der Montage verhindert wird.A housing as a whole is substantially cylindrical, preferably formed from a die-cast metal, and has a transverse partition wall 40 (FIG. Fig. 7, 8 . 11 ) with an opening 41 ( Fig. 11 ), which corresponds to the cross-sectional profile of the cable connector 12. The opening 41 is provided with a recess 60 for receiving the resilient arm 58 and for holding the resilient arm 58 in a depressed position. The partition 40 is disposed within the housing 38 at a longitudinal location selected to provide a corresponding positioning of the cable plug 12 in the housing. The housing 38 has an externally threaded portion 42 for cooperation with the sleeve 34 during assembly. Preferably, the housing 38 is provided with a longitudinal groove 44 on its inner side to engage in a corresponding counter-longitudinal rib 46 on the clamping member 18, so that a mutual rotation during assembly is prevented.

Die langlebige Kabelstecker-Anordnung 10 wird, wie in Fig. 5 gezeigt, montiert, um eine komplette Anordnung 10, wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, zu bilden. Der Kabelstecker 12 und der C-Ring-Anschlag 36 werden durch die Öffnung 41 in das Gehäuse 38 eingeschoben, bis sie von einer Stufe 43 im Kabelstecker 12 gestoppt werden. Das Spannteil 18 wird in das Gehäuse 38 eingeschoben, bis das Spannteil mit dem C-Ring-Anschlag 36 in Eingriff steht, wobei die Rippe 46 ausgerichtet wird und in die entsprechende Gegennut 44 gleitet. Die Tülle 26 steht mit dem konischen Abschnitt 22 des Spannteils 18 in Eingriff. Die Buchse 34 wird über die Tülle 26 geschoben, bis die Buchse am Flansch 31 anliegt. Die Tülle 26 ragt, wie in Fig. 6 gezeigt, über die Buchse hinaus (auf deren Rückseite). Die Buchse 34 wird dann auf das Gewinde 42 am Gehäuse 38 geschraubt. Die Tülle 26 wird gegen das Spannteil 18 bewegt und bewirkt somit, dass der konische Abschnitt 22 radial auf das Kabel 14 gepresst wird. Der Stecker 12 wird gegen die Trennwand 40 geschoben und ist somit fest und korrekt im Gehäuse 38 positioniert. Ist die Buchse 34 fest am Gehäuse 38 befestigt und somit das Spannteil 18 fest an das Kabel 14 angepresst, kann ein Dichtungsband 45 auf der Tülle 26 um das Kabel 14 geklipst werden, um die Tülle daran zu fixieren. Ringförmige Schlitze 32 in der Tülle 26 ermöglichen, dass sich die Tülle ebenfalls biegt, wenn das Kabel 14 gebogen wird. Somit ist das Kabel durch die Tülle 26 vor Beschädigungen infolge Abknickens, und durch das Spannteil 18 vor Beschädigungen infolge Längsspannungen, geschützt. Des weiteren ist der Kabelstecker 12 durch das robuste Druckguss-Gehäuse 38 vor Beschädigungen oder unsachgemäßer Verwendung geschützt.The long-life cable connector assembly 10, as in Fig. 5 shown assembled to a complete assembly 10, as in Fig. 6 shown to form.

The clamping member 18 is inserted into the housing 38 until the clamping member is engaged with the C-ring stopper 36, the rib 46 being aligned and sliding into the corresponding mating groove 44. The spout 26 is engaged with the tapered portion 22 of the tension member 18. The bushing 34 is pushed over the nozzle 26 until the bush rests against the flange 31. The spout 26 protrudes, as in Fig. 6 shown beyond the socket (on the back). The bush 34 is then screwed onto the thread 42 on the housing 38. The grommet 26 is moved against the clamping member 18 and thus causes the conical section 22 is pressed radially on the cable 14. The plug 12 is pushed against the partition wall 40 and is thus firmly and correctly positioned in the housing 38. If the sleeve 34 is fixedly secured to the housing 38 and thus the clamping member 18 is pressed firmly against the cable 14, a sealing tape 45 can be clipped on the spout 26 to the cable 14 to fix the spout thereto. Annular slots 32 in the spout 26 allow the spout to also bend as the cable 14 is bent. Thus, the cable through the spout 26th From damage due to kinking, and protected by the clamping member 18 from damage due to longitudinal stresses. Furthermore, the cable connector 12 is protected by the robust die-cast housing 38 from damage or improper use.
