Definitions
- the invention relates to a cable clamp device forming a rear connection. for connector.
- cable ties are used to avoid excessive stress on the terminations. Indeed, these bundles are subject to bending, stretching or other stresses (various movements, vibrations, etc.) which can be detrimental to the reliability of electrical connections.
- the number of connections is very important. Most often, the ends of a bundle of cables are connected, by soldering or any other means, to rear contacts of a connector, male or female. This is in turn coupled to a connector of a complementary type, for example by screwing.
- the assembly is generally completed by a clip, such as a cable clamp, fixing the cable harness on the flange.
- Such an operation may be necessary, for example, to to pass from the above-mentioned straight configuration to an angled configuration, or vice versa.
- the invention sets for purpose a device also allowing easy assembly and disassembly, not requiring the disconnection of the cable harness terminations connected to the rear contacts of the connector.
- the front part of the flange is open, this one having the shape of a "C”, and the material component the flange has elastic properties so as to allow the approximation of the branches of "C” by crushing.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a cable clamp device forming a connector. rear between a connector and a cable harness, the device comprising a flange consisting of an open rear part forming a receptacle for the cables of said harness and an annular front part, and a ring, of an internal diameter determined, intended to be fixed on the connector, the ring being provided, in a rear area, an internal flange and said front part of an extra thickness peripheral, of profile complementary to said internal flange, so as to keep the annular front part of the flange in rear stop, characterized in that the material making up the flange has elastic properties and in that said front part of the flange is open, this front part having the shape of a "C" whose the two facing lips are separated by a determined distance so that that, when subjected to a pinching force, said lips can be close enough, by elastic effect, to allow the insertion of said front part of the flange inside the ring of said determined internal diameter.
- Figures 1a to 1c illustrates an embodiment of a device cable ties forming rear connection for connector, in a so-called configuration "right".
- the device 1 has a symmetry of revolution, at least partial, around an axis ⁇ .
- the front part 100 of the flange 10 unlike the devices of the prior art, does not not in the form of a continuous ring, but in the form of a coin open having substantially the shape of a "C".
- This "open" ring 100 has a peripheral extra thickness 1000 forming a partial flange, as well as on its front part, in a preferred embodiment, of the teeth 101.
- the distance between the two lips of the piece in the shape of "C” is equal to "e”.
- the body of the flange 10 is extended rearwards by a flared piece 102, also in the shape of a "C" ending in a narrow neck 103.
- the flange 10 ends, in the rear part, with an extra piece forming a collar partial 104, advantageously circular in shape and forming part of a circle of diameter greater than the outside diameter of the neck 103.
- the ring 11 is provided with a rear flange 110, complementary to the peripheral extra thickness 1000. It also has an internal thread 111.
- the flange 110 blocks the flange 10 against said connector, thanks to the 1000 extra thickness.
- the flange 10 in its middle part 102 is provided with at least one pawn 105, generally two pawns, the function of which precise will also be explained below.
- the material making up the flange 10 is a composite material with elastic properties.
- the ring 11 can be made of the same material.
- Figures 2a, 2b and 2c illustrate a second embodiment of a device 1 'according to the invention, namely an angled configuration thereof.
- the middle part of the flange body referenced here 10 ', is bent.
- it includes two separate parts 102 'and 102 ", extending in directions parallel, on the one hand to the axis ⁇ for the intermediate portion 102 'front, and to an axis ⁇ ' for the rear intermediate part 102 ''.
- the axes ⁇ and ⁇ ' form an angle ⁇ equal to 90 ° between them ( Figure 2a).
- this value should in no way limit the scope of the invention.
- FIGS. 1a to 2c The stages of assembly and disassembly of a device, 1 or 1 ', depending on the invention on a connector 2 will now be described with reference to Figures 3a to 4b.
- Connector 2 is assumed to be revolution around an ⁇ axis.
- the device is produced according to the configuration called "cubit".
- the terminations 30 of the cable harness 3 are connected to the rear contacts (not shown) of a connector 2, for example of the screw type.
- a connector 2 for example of the screw type.
- the ring 20 is provided so advantageous grooves 200 or similar elements allowing better gripping, either by hand or using a tool.
- the cable harness 3 extends in a direction substantially parallel to the axis ⁇ .
- the flange 10 ' is approached from the rear face 21 of the connector 2.
- the space is suitably positioned flange 10 'so that the rear part 102 "of the middle area of the body the flange 10 'is parallel to an axis ⁇ ' arranged in space in a direction predetermined.
- the angle ⁇ formed by the axes ⁇ and ⁇ ' is substantially equal to 90 °, in the example shown.
- the cable bundle is folded so as to press it on the internal face of the flange, in particular on the internal face of the rear part of the intermediate zone 102 ".
- the beam 3 then extends parallel to the direction defined by the axis ⁇ '.
- the ring was positioned in removal, position 11 '(in dotted lines), so as to be sufficiently distant from the flange 10 ′ so as not to hinder the abovementioned operation of folding back.
- position 11 in solid lines
- the front part 100 in the form of "C" of the flange 10 ' is pinched so as to bring the lips 1001 and 1002 together.
- This operation can be carried out simply, in the majority of cases, using the hand, if the connector dimensions allow this. This pinching is authorized by the fact that the material constituting the flange, as indicated, has properties elastic.
- the rear face 21 of the connector 2 comprises, at the periphery, lugs or teeth 201, of profile complementary to the teeth 101 of the flange 11, or at least able to engage in these. Only one lug 202 is necessary, but we plan to advantageously several lugs, as illustrated, also distributed over the periphery.
- This arrangement constitutes an anti-rotation member of the flange 10 ′, by compared to connector 2, when it is completely mounted on the connector by screwing on the rear thread thereof, as illustrated by the 3d figure.
- the distance "d" separating the pins of the rear face 21 of the connector 2 must be such that it is greater than the thickness of the ring 2, once it fully screwed, so that the teeth 101 and lugs 201 can be meshed.
- a flange 10 conforms to the so-called "straight" configuration.
- the steps for dismantling a 10 'flange, according to the so-called “angled” configuration, would be quite similar.
- fastener 4 (not shown) has been removed during a preliminary stage. It can be, for example, a simple tie in plastic material which is cut using pliers. This aspect is quite classic and there is no need to describe it further.
- the cable harness 3 extends parallel to the axis ⁇ of symmetry of the connector 2.
- the ring 11 is first of all unscrewed from the rear thread 202 of the connector 2.
- a pinching force exerted on the rear part 102 of the flange 10 allows the lips 1001 and 1002 to be brought together of the front part 100 in the shape of "C".
- the pawns 105 then enter the interior of the ring 11, passing under the flange 110. It is therefore possible to unscrew the ring 11 despite the fact that the flange 10 and the connector 2 are meshed one inside the other thanks to the combined action of the teeth 101 and the lugs 202.
- the ring 11 can slide along the bundle of cables 3. It then suffices to exert a tensile force, according to a direction orthogonal to the ⁇ axis, on the front part in the shape of "C" 100, so that the lips, 1001 and 1002, deviate slightly and allow the flange 10 to come out of its housing.
- the invention achieves the goals it has set for itself. It allows assembly and disassembly easy, without the need to disconnect the cable terminations. She permits in particular the replacement of a "straight" type flange with a “bent” flange, as well as the change in the spatial orientation of the cable bundle 3 in rear outlet of connector 2, without requiring disconnections.
- the composite material can be PBT, for example the material known under the ULTEM brand and distributed by GENERAL ELECTRIC.
- the invention is particularly applicable to the automotive fields and aviation, areas in which cable harnesses include many connections.
- the type of connector on which the flange will be fixed may take various configurations. In particular, it does not have to be of the type screwable in its front part. It can be either male or female.
- the material constituting the ring may be identical to that constituting the flange or on the contrary different, or even be made of metal.
