  • the object is achieved for a method according to the preamble of claim 1 in that the first signal from a first detection device and at least one second signal from at least one second detection device are continuously detected and recorded in at least one recording device, at least one trigger signal triggers the opening of a measuring window and the presence of at least two signals characteristic of a proper plugging process within the measuring window is checked by at least one evaluation unit, wherein the at least one trigger signal is located before the measuring window, within the measuring window or after the measuring window.
  • the object is achieved in that the device comprises at least one first detection device for detecting a first signal, at least one second detection device for detecting at least one second signal, at least one recording device for recording the detected signals, at least one trigger signal detection device for detecting at least one trigger signal, at least one device for opening a measuring window when the at least one trigger signal is present and at least one evaluation unit for evaluating the presence of at least two signals characteristic of a proper plugging process within the measuring window.

  • at least one of the signals to be detected or detected can be an acoustic signal and/or at least one of the signals to be detected or detected can be a speed signal, acceleration signal, motion signal or position or attitude signal.
  • a detection device for detecting an acceleration signal can detect this with a high sampling rate, e.g.
  • One of the detectable or detected signals can therefore be an acceleration signal that is detected by a corresponding detection device for detecting acceleration, such as an acceleration sensor.
  • a corresponding detection device for detecting acceleration such as an acceleration sensor.
  • Such a sensor works with a high sampling rate.
  • the high-frequency components of the signal dissipate quite quickly over the propagation path, while low-frequency signals can also spread over longer distances.
  • the sensor channels or detection devices for detecting the signals such as an acceleration sensor, which work with comparatively high sampling rates, result in a very large amount of data being generated, from which the signals characteristic of a proper plugging process must be determined.
  • the amount of data on which the evaluation of the quality of the plug connection is based is limited by providing a measurement window that is opened by at least one trigger signal.
  • the probability that another event that generates a similar signal characteristic to that of the characteristic signals falls within this same time or measurement window is very low.
  • additional signals and information from the assembly process of the connector are used, which coincide very closely with the characteristic signals to be expected. These signals and information can be present or appear before the characteristic signals, at the same time as them or after the characteristic signals. Accordingly, these information and signals serve as the at least one trigger signal for opening the measurement window, whereby the at least one trigger signal can be before the measurement window, within the measurement window or behind or after the measurement window.
  • the at least two Signals are recorded, it is possible to open the measurement window retrospectively when the at least one predetermined trigger signal occurs, so that the measurement window is before the occurrence of the at least one trigger signal. Since the presence of the expected signals characteristic of a correct plugging process is expected within the measurement window and their occurrence is checked by at least one evaluation unit, the quality of the assessment of whether the plug connection of the connector is good, i.e. high, or bad, can be easily evaluated. The smaller and more precisely the measurement window can be spanned around the occurrence of the characteristic signals, the higher the quality of the check of the plug connection and the less likely such an assessment is to be error-prone.

These can provide the at least one trigger signal for opening the measurement window. This makes it possible for the opening duration or time span of the measurement window to be in the millisecond range.

It is therefore possible to limit the measurement window, which is spanned around the expected characteristic signals, to exactly that time range in which the respective hand of the operator performing the The operator carrying out the plugging process is in the expected spatial position in relation to the connector.
  • the position signal can be determined, for example, by geo-fencing. It is also possible to capture the position signal by at least one optical device, such as a camera, and/or by means of a gyroscopic device and/or by means of a radio-based tracking device.

  • This sequence of movements serves as a trigger signal for opening the measurement window.
  • the at least one trigger signal can be an acknowledgment signal or an acknowledgment gesture signal after completion of a plugging process.

  • the signals i.e.
  • the first signal and the at least one further or second signal are recorded continuously, the recorded data is only evaluated after the measuring window has been opened, so that the energy requirement is correspondingly low, especially for a mobile detection device for detecting the corresponding trigger signal.

If, however, the characteristic signals are present, and are thus detected, the information is output that a proper plug connection is present, which is indicated in Figure 12b by box 211.
  • the method according to the invention thus makes it possible to determine a more precise detection of the presence of a proper plugging process by providing a small and time-limited measuring window.
