CONNECTOR PIECE COMPRISING AN ELECTRIC OR OPTICAL CONNECTION FOR FLEXIBLE PLASTIC CONDUITS

摘要

The invention relates to a connector piece for flexible plastic fluid conduits (11), whose wall has at least one electric line bundle (13). A non-rotationally symmetrical receptacle (15) for the plug-in connection, adapted to the cross-section of the plastic conduit (11), receives the latter (11). At least one electric contact point (22) is positioned on the base of the receptacle (15) for the plug-in connection, in such a way that it is aligned with and penetrates the electric line bundle(s) (13), when the plastic conduit (11) is inserted into the receptacle (15) for the plug-in connection. The contact point(s) (22) is/are electrically connected to an electric connection cable (29) and/or at least one electric connection contact arrangement of the connector piece. Optical fibres can be used as an alternative, or in addition to electric line bundles. In this case the electric contact points are replaced by optical transmitters or optical converters. The fluidic and electric or optical connections are thus automatically achieved by the simple insertion of the plastic conduit (11).
