Definitions

  • the invention is based on a device connection connector according to the preamble of independent claim 1.
  • the invention is based on an expansion kit for a device connection connector.
  • Such device connection connectors are required to be mounted on the wall opening of a device housing of a device, in particular an electrical device, and to transmit signals and/or energy, in particular electrical signals and/or electrical energy, into the device housing on the connection side by connecting to a usually wired mating connector in and/or out.
  • the term device connection connector here and below to mean a connector whose connector housing is designed as an add-on housing, which can therefore be mounted on a wall opening in a housing wall of a device housing.
  • the mounting housing has a mounting flange with at least two screw holes through which the device connection connector can be screwed to the housing wall using at least two screws.
  • screw hole only includes the shape of a through opening and its function, namely that a screw is inserted through it for screwing, but not a manufacturing process such as e.g. b. Drilling or any material feature beyond a through hole.
  • the publication DE 20 2017 100 608 U1 describes a connector with a status display.
  • LEDs with corresponding electronics are included in the housing of the connector.
  • the publication DE 10 2018 125 121 A1 discloses a housing connection connector with circuit card connections, a connector housing, several electrical contact elements, an elastic sealing body and an indicator light.
  • the elastic seal body has a transparent seal ring connected to at least one light guide arm which extends away from the seal ring. Through the light arm, the light signal from an LED (“Light Emitting Diode”), which is arranged in the connector housing, can be guided to the transparent sealing ring and can also be displayed outside the connector housing.
  • LED Light Emitting Diode
  • the object of the invention is to provide a design for a device connection connector that has a light display and whose assembly effort is as low as possible.
  • An additional task is therefore in particular to provide an expansion kit with which the aforementioned, already existing device connection connector can be easily retrofitted with a light display.
  • a device connection connector has the following:
  • LED Light Emitting Diode
  • a kit is used to expand a device connection connector to include an indicator light.
  • the kit has the following: an at least partially transparent, running frame part for arrangement around a wall opening in a housing wall of a device housing and for fixing it between a mounting flange of a mounting housing of the device connection connector and the housing wall; at least one LED for emitting light signals through the transparent frame part; at least one carrier component for attaching the at least one LED.
  • the term “transparent” is to be understood in the sense of “translucent”.
  • the person skilled in the art therefore understands that the transparent frame part is able to allow visible light to pass from the interior of the add-on housing/device to the outside, i.e. to the surroundings of the device and the device connection connector.
  • the invention also has the advantage that the manual and/or automated assembly of the device connection connector with its light display on a device housing is particularly simple.
  • the invention has the advantage that a light signal from the at least one LED is visible outside the device when the device connection connector is installed.
  • a particularly great additional advantage of the invention is that an already existing, e.g. B. commercially available device connection connector, which does not yet have an indicator light, can be retrofitted with an indicator light in a particularly simple manner according to the aforementioned design.
  • a particularly great advantage is that the aforementioned existing device connection connector does not need to be changed. Instead, it simply needs to be expanded to include the kit in question.
  • the light display can signal more than two different states of the connector, for example three, four, five or even more. This can be done, for example, by allowing the light display to light up in different colors. Alternatively or additionally, flashing in different frequency patterns can also ensure differentiation.
  • a further advantage is that the type of indicator light, e.g. regarding the number of different states that the indicator light can show, can be very flexibly adapted to the particular device to which the connector is attached and the specific requirements of this device.
  • the carrier component has a passage or at least one through opening for the passage of the at least one device cable of the device.
  • the frame part can have at least two through openings for the passage of the at least two fastening screws.
  • the mounting housing can be screwed with the fastening screws through its mounting flange to the housing wall of the device housing, so that according to this embodiment, the fastening screws can also be guided through the frame part.
  • the carrier component can be designed as a circuit carrier or have a circuit carrier. This has the advantage that the carrier component can have conductor tracks for an electrically conductive connection to the at least one LED in order to advantageously supply the LEDs with electrical current.
  • the device connection connector can have several connections on its connection area for connecting several device lines of the device. These can in particular be electrical connections and electrical device lines through which the device connection plug is capable of transmitting electrical energy and/or signals to and/or from the particular electrical device.
  • the support component has a - in particular central - passage. This passage is particularly advantageous because it allows the passage of one or more device cables connected to the said connection or connections.
  • the support component can be designed as a continuous frame and can thus be arranged around the wall opening together with the transparent frame part.
  • the carrier component can be arranged on the connection side of the transparent frame part. This is particularly advantageous because the carrier component can be fixed in a particularly simple and efficient manner between the transparent frame part and the housing wall when the device connector is installed.
  • the transparent frame part can have a circumferential inner recess at its passage to at least partially accommodate the carrier component.
  • the said frame-shaped support component can also be held securely and without the occurrence of mechanical stresses in or on the device connection connector and the housing wall.
  • the carrier component can also be a circuit card. This can also be held on the device connection connector according to the aforementioned fastening method, because ultimately it is essentially the outer contour of the carrier component that is important.
  • a carrier component in the form of a circuit card is that this design is inexpensive, that it has conductor tracks for powering the at least one LED, and more through one or more feedthroughs, for example in the form of simple through openings, e.g. B. through holes, can easily be capable of carrying out the device cable(s).
  • the plug contacts can be electrically conductively connected to other conductor tracks on the circuit board on the connection side. This has the advantage that, for example, measurements, e.g. B. voltage measurements can be carried out.
  • the printed circuit board can have a through-hole that is electrically conductively connected to at least one of the further conductor tracks, into which the plug contact is inserted on the connection side and to which it is electrically conductively connected.
  • the transparent frame part can protrude outside of the housing flange.
  • the transparent frame part can be wider than the connector housing.
  • the transparent frame part can be made of an elastic material as a sealing element.
  • the transparent frame part can also be rigid, ideally rigid, and provided with a sealing ring on both sides for sealing purposes.

  • the device connection plug connector has at least two fastening screws 2 for passing through the screw holes in the mounting flange 81 to fasten the device connection plug connector to the housing wall 3.
  • the device connection connector has at least one contact carrier 1 arranged in the add-on housing 8.
  • a plug contact 9, not shown here, is arranged in the contact carrier 1. This has a plug-in area for plugging with a mating plug contact of a mating plug connector and a connection area shown in FIG. 5 with at least one connection for connecting at least one device line 4 of the device.
  • the device connection connector has an at least partially transparent, circumferential frame part 7 for arrangement around the wall opening and for fixing it between the mounting flange 81 of the mounting housing 8 and the housing wall 3 of the device housing.
