Cable sealing plug with locking part
A cable sealing plug includes a cable pass through opening extending through the cable sealing plug in an axial direction, a compression seal extending around the cable pass through opening, and a locking part having a locking system. The compression seal is transferable to a compressed state in which an inner diameter of the compression seal is smaller than a predetermined cable diameter of an electric cable extending through the cable pass through opening. The locking part and the compression seal are formed as a unitary component.
1. A cable sealing plug, comprising:
a continuous cylindrical cable pass through opening having a diameter greater than a cable diameter of an electric cable extending through the cable pass through opening, and extending through the cable sealing plug in an axial direction;
a toroidal compression seal extending continuously around the cable pass through opening, the compression seal is configured to move in the axial direction and radially perpendicularly toward the center of the cable pass through opening from an uncompressed state in which an inner diameter of the compression seal is larger than the cable diameter to a compressed state in which an inner diameter of the compression seal is smaller than the cable diameter; and
an annular locking part extending continuously around the cable pass through opening and having a contact surface disposed adjacent the compression seal, wherein the locking part and the compression seal are a unitary component and move together in the axial direction when a sliding guide extending circumferentially around and formed in a surface of the locking part and a bayonet guide formed in a connector housing with which the annular locking part engages are rotated relative to each other around a common axis to move the annual locking part axially relative to the connector housing to compress the compression seal against the contact surface as a result of the compression seal being displaced radially as a result of the rotation.
2. The cable sealing plug of claim 1 , wherein the locking part has a handling area on an end face facing away from the compression seal.
3. The cable sealing plug of claim 1 , wherein the locking part and the compression seal are a single injection molded component.
4. The cable sealing plug of claim 1 , further comprising a bayonet lock.
5. A cable sealing plug, comprising:
a cylindrical cable pass through opening extending through the cable sealing plug in an axial direction;
a toroidal compression seal extending around the entire cable pass through opening; and
an annular locking part extending entirely around the cable pass through opening and having a continuous contact surface disposed adjacent the compression seal including an axially projecting shoulder contacting the compression seal, wherein the annular locking part and the compression seal are formed as a unitary component,
wherein the compression seal and the annular locking part move together in the axial direction to compress the compression seal when a sliding guide is rotated relative to a bayonet guide that engages the sliding guide, the bayonet guide extending circumferentially around and formed in a surface of a connector, whereby the annular locking part engages the bayonet guide when rotated, whereby an inner diameter of the compression seal moves radially perpendicularly toward the center of the cable pass through opening from being larger than a cable diameter of an electric cable extending through the cable pass through opening to being smaller than the cable diameter when the annular locking part is rotated.
6. The cable sealing plug of claim 5 , wherein the locking part and the compression seal are a single injection molded component having a generally cylindrical cross-section.
7. The cable sealing plug of claim 5 , further comprising a bayonet lock.
8. The cable sealing plug of claim 5 , wherein the sliding guide extends about the shell surface in a circumferential direction and an axial direction.
9. The cable sealing plug of claim 5 , wherein the compression seal has a radially projecting pressure bead on an outer side and/or an inner side of the compression seal.
10. The cable sealing plug of claim 9 , wherein the radially projecting pressure bead is a radially inwardly projecting pressure bead abutting directly against the locking part in the axial direction.
11. The cable sealing plug of claim 5 , wherein the locking part has a handling area on an end face facing away from the compression seal.
12. The cable sealing plug of claim 11 , wherein the handling area increases axially and/or radially along a circumferential direction.
13. The cable sealing plug of claim 5 , further comprising a compression ring arranged at an axial end of the cable sealing plug opposite the locking part.
14. The cable sealing plug of claim 13 , wherein the compression seal is located between the locking part and the compression ring.
15. The cable sealing plug of claim 13 , wherein the compression ring is formed of an electrically conductive material.
16. The cable sealing plug of claim 13 , wherein the unitary component includes the compression seal, the locking part, and the compression ring.
17. The cable sealing plug of claim 13 , wherein the compression ring has an extension projecting away from the compression seal in the axial direction.
