Patent number: 11588282Abstract: An electrical plug connector, in particular an electrical pin connector socket for the power electronics in the automotive sector, comprising a plug connector body for receiving a contact device and comprising a shield. The plug connector body is designed for introducing into an opening of a housing part of a housing of an electronics unit. The plug connector body is designed in multiple parts and has at least one inner plug connector body and an outer plug connector body, which are positioned on opposite sides of the housing part. The inner plug connector part can be fixed in the housing of the electronics unit independently of the housing part. Securing means connect the plug connector bodies to one another so that the housing part is fixed between the plug connector bodies.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Willem Blakborn, Thomas Garten

Patent number: 10530097Abstract: A plug connection having: a plug connector with, arranged thereon, a first coding element with a coding pattern and an insertion location with, arranged thereon, a second coding element with a coding pattern that matches the coding pattern, wherein the plug connector can be inserted, in an insertion direction (S), into the insertion location as far as a coupling position, when the first coding element and the second coding element adopt a predefined relative position. The first coding element can be rotated on the plug connector about an axis of rotation (A) that runs parallel to the insertion direction (S), and/or the second coding element is held on the insertion location so as to be able to rotate about the axis of rotation (A).Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2019Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Rosenberger Hochfrequenztechnik GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 9956944Abstract: A pneumatic pressure control valve for a brake control system of a rail vehicle having at least three pressure chambers supplied with compressed air and are disposed in a housing of the pressure control valve, a first pressure chamber sealed by a piston and by a valve seat arranged on a tappet, subjected to a braking pressure and fluidically connected to a second pressure chamber via a conduit in the tappet to relieve pressure, a further third pressure chamber supplied with a supply pressure, arranged between the two pressure chambers and the sealing between the third pressure chamber and the second pressure chamber is achieved by a flat membrane arranged in the third pressure chamber and which enables the tappet to be axially displaced, the flat membrane has a circular opening arranged substantially centrally to provide a check function and through which the tappet extends in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2013Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE SYSTEME FÜR SCHIENENFAHRZEUGE GMBHInventors: Klaus Amann, Thomas Garten

Patent number: 9487197Abstract: A pilot-controlled valve arrangement having at least one valve mechanism mounted in a valve housing for multi-stage switching of a compressed air flow between a feed pressure connection and a working line connection wherein a throttled compressed air flow can be switched in at least one switching stage by a throttle, wherein the pneumatic pilot control has a first control piston mounted in a first control chamber implemented in the valve housing and having a coaxial recess for forming a second control chamber in which a second control piston is mounted, so that an additive control pressure application to the control chambers generates a telescope-like deployment of a ram extending from the second control piston for generating a multi-stage switching stroke for the valve mechanism, in order to implement the throttled compressed air flow in at least one switching stage of the valve mechanism present between the closed and the open valve setting.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2010Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE SYSTME FUR SCHIENENFAHRZEUGE GMBHInventors: Heinz Völbel, Steffen Krasselt, Thomas Garten
