Housing Assembly For Encasing An Electromagnetic Component And A Method For Assembling A Housing
A housing assembly encasing an electromagnetic component includes a housing part, a bulkhead wall inserted into the housing part in an insertion direction, and a locking sub-assembly locking the bulkhead wall to the housing part. The housing part has a first wall section and a second wall section opposite the first wall section. The bulkhead wall extends from the first wall section to the second wall section in a horizontal direction in an inserted state in the housing part. The locking sub-assembly locks the bulkhead wall to the housing part in a direction parallel to the horizontal direction.
1 . A housing assembly encasing an electromagnetic component, comprising:
a housing part having a first wall section and a second wall section opposite the first wall section;
a bulkhead wall inserted into the housing part in an insertion direction and extending from the first wall section to the second wall section in a horizontal direction in an inserted state in the housing part; and
a locking sub-assembly locking the bulkhead wall to the housing part in a direction parallel to the horizontal direction.
2 . The housing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the locking sub-assembly has a pair of overlapping protrusions overlapping in the horizontal direction.
3 . The housing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the locking sub-assembly has a rail guide extending in the insertion direction and guiding the bulkhead wall during insertion into the housing part.
4 . The housing assembly of claim 3 , wherein the rail guide allows a relative sliding between the housing part and the bulkhead wall in the insertion direction.
5 . The housing assembly of claim 4 , wherein the rail guide blocks a relative movement between the housing part and the bulkhead wall parallel to the horizontal direction.
6 . The housing assembly of claim 3 , wherein the rail guide has a pair of ribs spaced apart from one another perpendicular to the insertion direction and the horizontal direction.
7 . The housing assembly of claim 6 , wherein the ribs form a notch between them.
8 . The housing assembly of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the ribs forms an undercut engaging a protrusion of the locking sub-assembly in the inserted state.
9 . The housing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the bulkhead wall is part of a further housing part at least partly received in the housing part.
10 . The housing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the housing assembly is hermetically sealed in the inserted state.
11 . The housing assembly of claim 1 , wherein a glue transport channel formed in the inserted state opens toward an outside of the housing assembly and extends to the locking sub-assembly.
12 . The housing assembly of claim 11 , wherein the glue transport channel is a groove on one of the first wall section and the second wall section.
13 . The housing assembly of claim 11 , wherein the locking sub-assembly forms a further glue transport channel in the inserted state connected to the glue transport channel.
14 . The housing assembly of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the glue transport channel and the further glue transport channel is filled with a glue.
15 . The housing assembly of claim 1 , wherein a front and a back of the bulkhead wall at least partially engage the locking sub-assembly.
16 . A method for assembling a housing for an electromagnetic component, comprising:
inserting a bulkhead wall in an insertion direction into a housing part; and
locking the bulkhead wall to the housing part in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction to form a housing assembly.
17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising filling a glue transport channel of the housing assembly with a glue.
