Cable Sealing Housing and Method for Producing Such a Housing

A cable sealing housing comprising:

• an at least two-part housing with an upper part and a lower part,
• at least one opening formed as a cable-entry point in the housing,
• wherein the upper part and the lower part each form part of the openings, wherein
• when the housing is in the joined state, the mutually facing joining surfaces of the upper and lower parts have been laser-welded together,
• wherein a first of the mutually facing joining surfaces is a substantially flat surface and that a second of the mutually facing joining surfaces comprises a rib protruding in the direction of the surface normal of this joining surface and
• wherein, through laser welding, a region of the rib facing the first surface is melted and molten material from the rib at least partially fills a gap between the mutually facing joining surfaces.

A method for producing a cable sealing housing comprising:

• providing a first part and a second part of a housing with at least one opening formed as a cable-entry point in the housing, wherein the first part and the second part form an upper part and a lower part of the housing,
• placing the two parts with mutually facing joining surfaces, wherein a first of the mutually facing joining surfaces is a flat surface and a second of the mutually facing joining surfaces comprises a rib protruding from a surface in the direction of the surface normal to this surface and
• laser welding the first part to the second part along the abutting joining surfaces, wherein
• during laser welding, a region of the rib facing the flat surface is melted and the molten material of the rib partially fills a gap between the mutually facing joining surfaces.
