Electrical contact coupling for a track-borne vehicle

摘要

The present invention relates to an electrical contact coupling (10) for a track-borne vehicle, wherein the electrical contact coupling (10) comprises a coupling housing (11) having at least one frontal housing opening (23, 33). In order to achieve the current or data-carrying cables of the electrical contact coupling (10) not needing to move relative to the electrical contact coupling (10) when said electrical contact coupling (10) is being coupled and thus reduce the mechanical wear on the external current or data-carrying cables/cable harnesses which realize a relative movement to the coupling during the coupling process, the invention provides for a first contact holder (20) having a plurality of electrical contacts (32) to be arranged in the coupling housing (11) as well as a contacting support (40) having a plurality of contact tabs (42). The contacting support (40) is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the coupling housing (11) relative to said coupling housing (11) from a first position, in which the contacting support (40) with the contact tabs (42) is completely accommodated within the coupling housing (11), into a second position in which at least the front end region of the contacting support (40) protrudes from the housing opening (23, 33).

主权项

1. An electrical contact coupling for a track-borne vehicle, particularly a railway vehicle, wherein the electrical contact coupling comprises the following:
a coupling housing having at least one frontal housing opening; a first contact holder arranged in said coupling housing having at least one and preferably a plurality of particularly adjacently arranged electrical contacts; and a preferably plate-shaped contacting support having at least one and preferably a plurality of particularly adjacently formed contact tabs extending in a longitudinal direction of said contacting support, wherein the contacting support is displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the coupling housing relative to said coupling housing from a first position, in which the contacting support with the at least one contact tab is completely accommodated within the coupling housing, into a second position and vice versa,
wherein at least a front end region of the contacting support protrudes from the at least one frontal housing opening of the coupling housing in the second position to form an electrical contact between the at least one contact tab and at least one electrical contact of a mating coupling of preferably structurally identical design to the electrical contact coupling.
