Abstract
A shielded magnetic plug-in lock, for which a connector is plugged into a connector receiving element and held therein by magnetic holding forces or additionally by means of mechanical engagement, is provided. The connector and the connector receiving element are designed in such a way that the connector magnet and the magnet for the connector receiving element are magnetized transversely to the closing direction X, and at least one shielding plate consisting of a ferro-magnetic material is provided on the plug or the plug receiving element. The shielding plate covers the connector magnet and the connector receiving element magnets, and the ferro-magnetic material and the thickness of the shielding plate are selected in such a way as to obtain a magnetic shielding sufficient for a pre-determined use.
Claims4
A magnetic plug-in lock with a connector and a connector receiving element, whereby
- a connector magnet is provided in the connector and a magnet for the connector receiving element is provided in the connector receiving element,
- the connector and the connector receiving element are designed such that
- the connector can be plugged in the front side in a closing direction X into the connector receiving element for closing and
- the connector can be moved lateral to the closing direction X out of the connector receiving element for opening,
- the connector magnet and the magnet for the connector receiving element are magnetized transversely to the closing direction X and
- the connector magnet and the magnet for the connector receiving element face each other with opposing polarity and
- at least one shielding plate consisting of a ferro-magnetic material is provided on the connector or connector receiving element, whereby the shielding plate covers the connector magnet as well as the magnet for the connector receiving element, and wherein the ferro-magnetic material and the thickness of the shielding plate are selected such that magnetic shielding sufficient for a pre-determined use is obtained.
