Electrical plug-in connector comprising a raised release element, and method for reversibly connecting and disconnecting plug parts of a plug-in connector
First Claim
1. A plug-in connector with a first and a second plug part, which can be reversibly coupled and disconnected, wherein a connection device is formed, which has at least one spring element, which engages with a sliding guide in the second plug part with at least one spring piece for connecting the plug parts,wherein the sliding guide and the spring element are formed such that upon exceeding a release force threshold value automatic disconnection of the plug parts is provided,wherein a raised release element is formed on the sliding guide, which is embraced by the spring piece in the plugged state of the plug parts,wherein the raised release element is formed rectilinearly in a circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis (A) and extends on the same axial sectional level over its width viewed in an axial direction, such that upon occurrence of a tensile force greater than the release force threshold value on the plug parts, the spring piece is guided over the raised release element exclusively in an axial direction for automatic disconnection of the plug parts,wherein the spring element is received in the interior of a retaining sleeve and is disposed rotationally fixedly on the retaining sleeve.

Abstract
The invention relates to a plug-in connector comprising a first and a second plug part which can be reversibly coupled and disconnected in a bayonet manner with axial and rotational movements, wherein a connection device is designed that has at least one spring element, at least one spring piece of which engages with a sliding guide in the second plug part in order to connect the plug parts. The sliding guide and the spring element are designed such that the plug parts are automatically disconnected when a release threshold value is exceeded. A raised release element which is embraced by the spring piece in the plugged state of the plug parts is formed on the sliding guide. Said raised release element is rectilinear in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis (A) and extends on the same axial sectional level across the width of the release element when viewed in the axial direction in such a way that when a tensile force that is greater than the release threshold value is applied to the plug parts, the spring piece is guided over the raised release element exclusively in the axial direction in order to automatically disconnect the plug parts.

10. A plug-in connector with a first and a second plug part, which can be reversibly coupled and disconnected, wherein a connection device is formed, which has at least one spring element, which engages with a sliding guide in the second plug part with at least one spring piece for connecting the plug parts,
wherein the sliding guide and the spring element are formed such that upon exceeding a release force threshold value automatic disconnection of the plug parts is provided, wherein a raised release element is formed on the sliding guide, which is embraced by the spring piece in the plugged state of the plug parts, wherein the raised release element is formed rectilinearly in a circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis (A) and extends on the same axial sectional level over its width viewed in an axial direction, such that upon occurrence of a tensile force greater than the release force threshold value on the plug parts, the spring piece is guided over the raised release element exclusively in an axial direction for automatic disconnection of the plug parts, wherein the spring element is a hollow-cylindrical annular section, in which the at least one spring piece is integrally formed and disposed in a hole of a wall of the annular section.

13. A method for reversibly connecting and disconnecting plug parts of a plug-in connector, wherein a connection device is formed, which has at least one spring element, which engages with a sliding guide in the second plug part with at least one spring piece for connecting the plug parts,
wherein upon exceeding a release force threshold value automatic disconnection of the plug parts is effected, wherein a raised release element is formed on the sliding guide, which is embraced by the spring piece in the plugged state of the plug parts, and upon occurrence of a tensile force greater than the release force threshold value on the two plug parts upon automatic disconnection of the plug parts, the spring piece is pulled off exclusively in axial direction over the raised release element formed rectilinearly in a circumferential direction and extending on the same axial sectional level over its width viewed in an axial direction, wherein the spring element is disposed internally in a retaining sleeve rotatably disposed on the first plug part in a rotationally fixed manner to the retaining sleeve and the embracement of the raised release element by the spring piece is retained by a state of the retaining sleeve preloaded in the circumferential direction by a spring viewed in the circumferential direction.
