Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle socket for data transmission from a motor vehicle to a motor vehicle component, comprising a socket housing having an insertion opening for connecting a plug of the vehicle component and a connection opening for connecting the socket to a motor vehicle data network or on-board network, wherein the insertion opening can be sealed by a cover hinged to the socket housing.
  • the data plug connection adapter is sealingly secured in the socket housing, wherein one of the two plug connection sides of the data plug connection adapter is accessible in the insertion opening, and the other of the two plug connection sides of the data plug connection adapter is accessible in the connection opening.
  • the data connector adapter is sealed in the vehicle socket by a suitable multi-part seal between the outer circumference of the data connector adapter and a through-hole in the socket housing, into which the data connector adapter can be accommodated and in which the data connector adapter is fixed.
  • the data connector adapter has a mandrel profile (as previously described) around its circumference, which, when the data connector adapter is secured in the through-hole of the socket housing, is pressed into the socket housing, which is usually made of plastic, under pressure.
  • a sealed connection can also be created, for example, by injection molding or overmolding.
  • the data connector adapter can be used for data transmission, for example, between a towing vehicle and a trailer or between a vehicle and a vehicle machine, e.g. an agricultural vehicle and an agricultural machine that can be attached to the agricultural vehicle.
  • the data plug connection adapter can also be used to achieve the tightness required for such applications in the automotive sector.
  • the data plug connection adapter has a plug body that has a first plug connection side, a second plug connection side, an electrically conductive plug shield that surrounds in particular the first and second plug connection sides, and a contact carrier.
  • the first plug connection side comprises a first plug contact connection pattern for connecting a first data plug
  • the second plug connection side comprises a second plug contact connection pattern for connecting a second data plug.
  • the plug contact connection patterns can generally be adapted to the circumstances, in particular to the various data plugs with which the data plug connection adapter according to the invention is intended to be used, without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • the data plugs are not part of the invention; where data plugs are described as examples in this text, this serves only to explain other features of the invention and for illustration purposes.
  • the contact carrier of the data connector adapter is arranged between the first and the second connector connection side and carries at least two first contacts and at least two second contacts, which are arranged such that the first contacts form the first plug-in contact connection pattern and the second contacts form the second plug-in contact connection pattern. Exactly one of the first contacts is electrically connected to exactly one of the second contacts via a contact connection section.
  • the contacts in the data plug-in connection adapter thus assume the function of conductors in data cables when transmitting the data signals in the plug-in connection adapter. In data cables, data is usually transmitted via conductor pairs over which signal waves are transmitted.
  • EP 1 517 409 A2 discloses, for example, a high-frequency right-angle connector for mounting on a circuit board, consisting of a body into which two dielectrics engage, which in turn comprise the longitudinal and transverse sections of a rectangular electrical contact.
  • line characteristic impedance also referred to as impedance or cable impedance
  • Such impedance changes can disrupt data transmission and, as interference, reduce the range of the data transmission and/or the achievable maximum data rate.
  • an impedance compensation device comprising an inductance section and a capacitance section, wherein the inductance section generates a variable inductance contribution to the impedance and the capacitance section generates a variable capacitance contribution to the impedance, wherein the inductance contribution must be opposite to the capacitance contribution in order to keep the impedance constant.
  • an inductance section is disclosed which comprises a plurality of deflectable parts, wherein the inductance contribution can be increased and a capacitance contribution can be compensated by the deflection of the inductance section.
  • the EP 2 088 648 A2 describes a coupler for data transmission with a first connection end and a second connection end, each of which allows the insertion of connectors with different plug contact configurations.
  • the coupler comprises a metallic shield in which a contact carrier is arranged for each of the connection ends, which carries a plurality of contacts arranged according to the respective plug contact configuration.
  • the contacts of the contact carriers are arranged on a circuit board, with one contact on the first connection side and one contact on the second connection side being electrically connected to one another via conductor tracks on the circuit board. The spacing of the contacts on the different connection sides varies.
  • couplers can be used in industrial environments to connect RJ-45 data connectors, such as those used in communication networks, with other connector types that enable improved signal integrity because crosstalk of signals in the connector connection between different signal paths is avoided, unlike in RJ-45 data connectors.
  • the EP 2 088 648 A2 on the US 2006/0246780 A1 which describes a data communication connector with a connector end (for connection to a power outlet) and a cable end (for connection to a cable with multiple signal paths each comprising a signal pair of electrically conductive insulated cable ends), wherein the contacts of the data communication connector are arranged along a longitudinal axis.
  • Such a communication connector with a corresponding plug contact connection pattern can be optimized such that a characteristic, substantially fluctuation-free impedance is maintained throughout the communication connector arrangement. This prevents signal losses in the data communication port.
  • the impedance can be adjusted by factors such as the dielectric properties of the housing, especially the material between the contacts of a signal pair, the spacing of the contacts, the diameter and cross-section of the contacts, and the distance to the shield. Simulation software is available for this purpose, which can be used to optimize the design variables.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a motor vehicle socket with a data plug connection adapter for data transmission, which is easier to manufacture and reliably avoids fluctuations in impedance, especially in the technically robust environment of plug connections in motor vehicles, and reliably enables high-frequency data transmission even in the exterior of a motor vehicle.
  • a motor vehicle socket having the features of claim 1 with a data plug connection adapter sealed in the socket.
  • the first contacts are surrounded at least in sections by an electrically insulating first carrier body with a first dielectric constant ⁇ R 1 and the second contacts are surrounded at least in sections by an electrically insulating second Carrier bodies with a second dielectric constant ⁇ R 2 are surrounded.
  • the different carrier bodies in the different areas of the adapter (hereinafter also referred to as 'data plug-in adapter') can thus easily influence the impedance of the adapter in the contact area differently.
  • the first and the second carrier body lie with an outer circumferential surface at least partially, but preferably completely, against an inner wall surface of the connector shield. It has been found that the size and shape of the carrier bodies acting as a dielectric are also important, whereby the effect of the dielectric for the waves transported in the conductor depends in particular on when the electric fields from the dielectric are limited by the connector shielding.
  • a complete contact of the outer peripheral surface of the first and second carrier bodies with the connector shield means that preferably at least 80%, particularly preferably at least 90%, of the outer peripheral surface contacts the inner wall surface of the connector shield.
  • the inner wall surface of the connector shield is typically larger than the outer peripheral surface of the carrier body, so that even if the outer peripheral surface of the carrier body is completely contacted, it only contacts a portion of the inner wall surface of the connector shield.
  • the carrier bodies are in direct contact with the inner wall surface of the connector shielding.
  • the first dielectric constant ⁇ R 1 and the second dielectric constant ⁇ R 2 and the shape of the outer circumferential surface of the contact carriers as well as the shape of the corresponding inner wall surface of the connector shielding against which the outer circumferential surface of the contact carriers rests can be selected such that no interference with high-frequency data transmission at the desired data rate occurs within the data plug connection adapter.
  • the dielectric constants ⁇ R 1 and ⁇ R 2 can, in particular, be selected to be different, but can also be the same.
  • the specific parameters for the sizes can be determined empirically by a person skilled in the art, if necessary, using various models of the adapter and/or through theoretical calculations of the adapter's impedance. Calculation models typically provide a good starting point for a configuration, which can then be empirically optimized until the desired data rates can be achieved during data transmission.
  • impedance differences typically occur at the transition from a first plug-in contact configuration to a second plug-in contact configuration. These differences are caused by geometric changes in the contacts conducting the data signals (as well as in the contact connection sections between the first and second contacts). These changes can lead to interference, especially at high data rates. Interference during data transmission can also occur at the transition between the conductors of a data cable and the contacts in the connectors or connector adapters, particularly because the dielectric properties surrounding the conductors transmitting the data signals change, thus causing impedance differences.
  • the adapter design described in the invention minimizes impedance changes and, especially experimentally, allows for an optimized configuration of the dielectric constants (in particular ⁇ R 1 and ⁇ R 2 ) and the shape of the outer peripheral surfaces of the carrier bodies or the corresponding connector shielding.
  • This allows data rates in the Gbit range, for example, in the range of 1 Gbit/s (gigabit per second), to be reliably achieved.
  • the size and shape of the dielectric surrounding the conductors are crucial for the propagation of signal waves in the conductors and play a key role in determining the impedance.
  • the shape and arrangement of the connector shielding, which surrounds the dielectric around the conductors, also has an important influence on the impedance changes. Due to the structure described according to the invention, the person skilled in the art can optimize the impedance behavior of the adapter by expertly optimizing the dielectric constant ⁇ R as well as the shape of the carrier bodies and connector shielding to such an extent that the impedances generated by the data connector adapter The impedance differences caused are so small that no interference occurs during data transmission at the intended data rate.
  • a first contact distance between the first contacts and a second contact distance between the second contacts are different.
  • the design proposed by the invention is particularly useful because the change in the distance between the first and second contacts necessarily entails geometric changes to the design. These changes also lead to impedance changes, which can be compensated for by the design proposed by the invention at least to the extent that no interference occurs in data transmission at the desired data rate.
  • the contact distance between the first and second contact areas is to be understood such that the respective first and second contacts, between which the contact distance is considered, are electrically connected to one another by the contact connection section.
  • the purpose of the adapter is precisely to change this contact distance and thus adapt it to the various plug contact connection patterns.
  • the diameter of the first and second contacts can also be different, namely a diameter of the contacting areas of the contacts and/or a diameter of the carrier areas of the contacts.
  • Carrier areas are understood to be the sections of the contacts that are predominantly accommodated in the carrier body of the contact carrier or, equivalently, are surrounded by the carrier body of the contact carrier and are not connected to the plug contacts when the plug is plugged in.
  • contacting areas are understood to be the sections of the contacts that are connected to the plug contacts when the plug is plugged in. In a typical embodiment, contacting areas protrude from the carrier body as contacts formed by pin contacts or pin contacts. while carrier areas of the contacts are accommodated in the carrier body.
  • the first and the further contacts can have different diameters, at least in their contacting area.
  • Smaller diameters in the plug connections are usually more similar to the geometric conditions in the data cable, so that impedance changes due to the changed geometry are smaller and can be compensated for more easily.
  • smaller diameters are geometrically less stable and usually only designed for a few mating cycles, typically once during initial installation and possibly for repairs, but not in everyday use. Larger diameters lead to greater impedance fluctuations, but also permit geometries that enable a high number of mating cycles and are therefore suitable for mating processes in everyday use.
  • the first and second contacts are cylindrical in their basic shape, i.e., their base area is round.
  • the diameter is the diameter of the round base area.
  • the first and second contacts can also have a different geometric basic shape, e.g., a rectangular or any other basic shape.
  • the base area defined as a surface perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the contacts (also referred to as the axial direction of the contacts), then has a corresponding shape.
  • the diameter of the contacts is defined as the greatest distance between two edge points of the base area. The same basically applies to the contact connection section between the first and second contacts.
  • the diameter of the first contact, the second contact and the contact connection section can change several times along the direction of the contacts accommodated in the contact carriers.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides that in the region of the contact connection section at least one third carrier body with a third dielectric constant ⁇ R 3 is provided, wherein the dielectric constant ⁇ R 3 can be selected to be the same as or different from the first dielectric constant ⁇ R 1 and/or the second dielectric constant ⁇ R 2.
  • the number of different carrier bodies, which in particular directly surround the first contacts, the second contacts and/or the contact connection sections (or partially only indirectly, e.g. include contacts and a contact carrier directly surrounding these contacts), increases the possibilities for influencing the impedance in the data plug-in connection adapter, so that ultimately even small local defects can be addressed and the impedance changes can be kept so small that reliable data transmission at the desired data rate is possible.
  • the third carrier body can surround sections of the contacts over a large area or, for example, can also be designed as a circuit board in which the first and second contacts are held and contacted. Preferred variants of the third carrier body will be described in more detail later.
  • a useful design of the third carrier body according to the invention can, according to one possible embodiment, provide that the third carrier body is also provided, in particular, in a region between different contact connection sections, wherein each of the contact connection sections connects one of the first contacts and one of the second contacts.
  • the third carrier body can be arranged in a region in which the distance between the first contacts and between the second contacts changes. This provides the possibility of influencing the impedance very locally.
  • this third or further carrier body can have an electrically conductive contact shield which is electrically conductively connected to the plug shield.
  • a contact shield can be arranged in particular between the contact connection sections and/or around the contact connection sections.
  • the shape of the contact shield and its distance from the contact connection sections, the first contacts and/or the second contacts can also be used according to the invention as one (i.e. a further) of the parameters by the variation of which the impedance in the data plug connection adapter is or will be set such that the impedance in the data plug connection adapter corresponds to a predetermined impedance value.

  • the overall contact defined in this way is therefore constructed in one piece from conductive material and comprises the first and second contacts as well as the contact connection section as contact parts in accordance with the definition of this invention. This avoids contacts between the various contact parts that may interfere with data transmission.
  • such overall contacts can be easily manufactured as a single part from an electrically conductive material, e.g. low-alloy copper or brass, e.g. as pin contacts.
