Abstract

An electric plug-in device, which is suitable for plugging into an electric receiving device, has an inner conductor and an insulating body that encloses the inner conductor. The plug-in device includes a retaining element which can be firmly connected indirectly, in particular with the help of a housing wall, or directly to the receiving device; a sliding element which can be moved axially along a longitudinal axis of the inner conductor relative to the retaining element includes the internal conductor and the insulating body. When the plug-in device is plugged into the receiving device, the sliding element protrudes into a receiving portion of the receiving device. A spring device exerts an axially active spring force on the sliding element in the direction of the receiving device when the plug-in device is plugged into the receiving device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electric plug-in device for plugging into an electric receiving device, the plug-in device comprising:
an inner conductor having a longitudinal axis and an insulating body enclosing said inner conductor, said inner conductor and said insulating body forming a sliding element;
an insulating material fixedly attached to said insulating body or pushed releasably onto said insulating body;
a retaining element to be fixedly connected to the receiving device;
said sliding element being axially displaceable along the longitudinal axis of said inner conductor relative to said retaining element, wherein said sliding element projects into a receiving section of the receiving device when the plug-in device is plugged into the receiving device;
said sliding element further including a pusher section with a pressure surface that extends radially outward, as seen from said inner conductor, and lies in contact on said insulating material; and
a spring device configured to exert an axially acting spring force on said sliding element in a direction of the receiving device when the plug-in device is plugged into the receiving device.

2. The electric plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein said retaining element is directly affixed to the receiving device or said retaining element is indirectly connected to the receiving device via a housing wall.

3. The electric plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating material is sprayed onto said insulating body.

4. The electric plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating material is a plastically and/or elastically deformable material.

5. The electric plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating material is a silicone material.

6. The electric plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface normal of said pressure surface lies parallel to the longitudinal axis of said inner conductor.

7. The electric plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein said pusher section forms a flange section of said sliding element, and said flange section revolves rotationally symmetrically about the longitudinal axis of said inner conductor.

8. The electric plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein said pusher section is connected to a bearing part which is arranged within a sleeve section, which is connected to said retaining element or is formed integrally thereon, and is displaceable axially within said sleeve section along the longitudinal axis of said inner conductor.

9. The electric plug-in device according to claim 8 , wherein:
said sleeve section, along the longitudinal axis, has at least a first partial section with a first diameter and a second partial section with a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter;
said movable bearing part is displaceable within said second partial section; and
said spring device, or at least a compression spring of said spring device, is arranged at least in sections between a radial stop surface of said sleeve section formed between said first and second partial sections, and said movable bearing part and is supported on said stop surface.

10. The plug-in device according to claim 1 , configured as a high-voltage bushing, with said sliding element being configured to be pushed into an apparatus connection part of an electrical apparatus.

11. The plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating body comprises field-controlling control inserts separated from one another by insulating layers.

12. The plug-in device according to claim 11 , wherein said control inserts are arranged concentrically around said inner conductor.

13. The electric plug-in device according to claim 1 , wherein:
said insulating body tapers conically in a direction of the receiving device; and
said insulating material is a silicone cone with an inner boundary layer resting on said insulating body and an outer boundary layer lying on an inner wall of the receiving device.

14. An arrangement, comprising:
a receiving device; and
a plug-in device according to claim 1 pushed into said receiving device.

15. An arrangement, comprising:
an electrical apparatus having a fluid-tight housing and an apparatus connection part inserted into an opening formed in said housing, said apparatus connection part having a contact device; and
a plug-in device according to claim 1 plugged into said apparatus connection part and being connected by way of the inner conductor to the contact device of said apparatus connection part.
