Interface assembly
The invention relates to an interface assembly comprising a first interface component ( 10 ) and a second interface component ( 20 ) with a sliding guide ( 30 ) for mechanically securing the interface components ( 10, 20 ) to one another, wherein a tongue ( 12 ) projecting from a base ( 11 ) is situated on one of the interface components ( 10 ) and a groove ( 22 ) located in a base ( 21 ) is situated on the other interface component ( 20 ), the tongue and groove having corresponding cross-sections, wherein the tongue ( 12 ) and the groove ( 22 ) interlockingly secure the interface components ( 10, 20 ) to one another and block a movement perpendicular to the bases and perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the tongue ( 12 ) and groove ( 22 ), wherein electrical contact elements ( 15, 25 ) are situated on the tongue ( 12 ) and in the groove ( 22 ) and establish an electrical connection when the interface components ( 10, 20 ) are joined.
1 . An interface assembly with a first interface component ( 10 ) and a second interface component ( 20 ) with a sliding guide ( 30 ) for mechanically fixing the interface components ( 10 , 20 ) to one another, wherein a tongue ( 12 ) projecting from a base surface ( 11 ) is arranged on one of the interface components ( 10 ) and a groove ( 22 ) with corresponding cross sections located in a base surface ( 21 ) is arranged on the other interface component ( 20 ), wherein the tongue ( 12 ) and the groove ( 22 ) lock the interface components ( 10 , 20 ) to each other in a form-fitting manner and block a movement perpendicular to the base surfaces and perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the tongue ( 12 ) and groove ( 22 ), wherein electrical contact elements ( 15 , 25 ) are arranged on the tongue ( 12 ) and in the groove ( 22 ), said contact elements establishing an electrical connection in a joined state of the interface components ( 10 , 20 ), and wherein the groove ( 22 ) is sealed on the end face in the joined state with the tongue ( 12 ).
2 . The interface assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical contact elements ( 15 , 25 ) are arranged on an end face of an end stop ( 13 ) of the tongue ( 12 ) and/or on an end face of an end stop ( 23 ) of the groove ( 22 ).
3 . The interface assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the end stop ( 13 , 23 ) forms a contact surface for a plug ( 19 , 29 ) or a socket with the contact elements ( 15 , 25 ).
4 . The interface assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a cable connection ( 16 , 26 ) is laid by the electrical contact elements ( 15 , 25 ) leading away from the tongue ( 12 ) and the groove ( 22 ).
5 . The interface assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a cable duct ( 27 ) and/or a plug receiver ( 18 , 28 ) is arranged or formed in at least one interface component ( 10 , 20 ).
6 . The interface assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the interface components ( 10 , 20 ) have a locking device ( 41 , 42 ) which blocks displacement of interface components ( 10 , 20 ) relative to one another along the longitudinal extent of the sliding guide ( 30 ).
7 . The interface assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the locking device comprises two form-fitting components ( 41 , 42 ) which can be repeatedly engaged and disengaged with each other.
8 . The interface assembly according to claim 7 , wherein one form-fitting component ( 42 ) is rotatably or pivotally mounted and has at least one flattening ( 421 ), non-circular cross-section or recess.
9 . The interface assembly according to claim 7 , wherein at least one form-fitting component ( 42 ) braces the interface components ( 10 , 20 ) against each other in the locked position.
10 . The interface assembly according to claim 6 , wherein at least one form-fitting component ( 42 ) is assigned a securing element ( 43 ) which is accessible from an end face ( 211 ) of the interface component ( 20 ).
11 . The interface assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the securing element ( 43 ) engages in the form-fitting component ( 42 ) in a form-fitting manner, is preloaded against the form-fitting component ( 42 ) and/or is coupled to the form-fitting component ( 42 ) via a toothing ( 432 ).
12 . The interface assembly according to claim 7 , wherein at least one form-fitting component ( 41 ) is designed as a groove.
13 . The interface assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first interface component ( 10 ) is designed as a distal end plate of a prosthesis socket or a prosthesis component.
14 . The interface assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second interface component ( 20 ) is formed as a proximal end component of a prosthetic hand or a prosthetic gripping device.
