Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un connecteur électrique.The present invention relates to a connector electric.

L'invention se rapporte à un connecteur du type comprenant un premier élément de boítier avec un certain nombre de voies garnies d'organes de contact électrique mâles ou femelles et un élément de boítier complémentaire avec un certain nombre de voies garnies d'organes de contact électrique complémentaires de ceux du premier élément de boítier.The invention relates to a connector of the type comprising a first housing element with a certain number of channels fitted with male electrical contact members or females and an additional box element with a number of pathways lined with organs of electrical contact complementary to those of the first element of housing.

Les véhicules automobiles comprennent de plus en plus d'équipements électriques ce qui oblige à prévoir des tensions de plus en plus élevées de sorte qu'on doit, en cas d'intervention sur les équipements électriques, par sécurité, couper l'alimentation électrique.Motor vehicles increasingly understand no more electrical equipment, which requires planning higher and higher voltages so that we have to case of intervention on electrical equipment, for safety, cut off the power supply.

L'un des buts de la présente invention est de réaliser un connecteur électrique qui permet d'assurer la sécurité désirée.One of the aims of the present invention is to make an electrical connector which ensures the desired security.

Le connecteur électrique, selon l'invention, est du type comprenant un premier élément de boítier comportant une série de voies destinées à recevoir des organes de contact électrique et un élément de boítier complémentaire destiné à être accouplé avec ledit premier élément de boítier et comportant des voies correspondant avec des organes de contact électrique complémentaires de ceux du premier élément de boítier, l'un des éléments de boítier comportant un conduit dans lequel est logé un organe de contact électrique supplémentaire pourvu, à une extrémité, de moyens pour le relier à un circuit électrique, tandis que l'autre élément de boítier comporte des moyens pour, lors de l'accouplement ou du désaccouplement des éléments de boítier, coopérer avec ledit organe de contact électrique supplémentaire afin que celui-ci shunte l'un des organes de contact électrique de manière à transmettre une information pour commander l'interruption temporaire d'un circuit d'alimentation électrique, ledit connecteur étant caractérisé en ce que l'organe de contact électrique supplémentaire comporte une languette élastique pliée pour présenter, à partir du voisinage, des moyens pour le relier à un circuit électrique, une partie rectiligne terminée par une partie en V dont la branche libre est prolongée par un coude tourné du côté du V et prolongée par une partie en U avec une âme et deux ailes, l'aile libre étant terminée par une onde tournée du côté opposé au V, tandis que les moyens pour coopérer avec ledit organe de contact supplémentaire comprennent une barrette présentant, en un point intermédiaire de sa longueur un épaulement prolongé par un bossage terminé par une pointe, la barrette et l'organe de contact supplémentaire étant disposés de manière que, lors de l'accouplement, la pointe du V rencontre le bossage de manière que l'onde vienne buter contre l'organe de contact voisin, tandis qu'en fin de course d'accouplement, ladite pointe du V échappe le bossage engendrant un écartement de l'onde de l'organe de contact voisin.The electrical connector according to the invention is of the type comprising a first housing element comprising a series of channels intended to receive organs of electrical contact and an additional box element intended to be coupled with said first housing element and having corresponding channels with organs of electrical contact complementary to those of the first housing element, one of the housing elements comprising a conduit in which is housed a contact member additional electric provided at one end with means for connecting it to an electrical circuit, while the other housing element includes means for, when of the coupling or uncoupling of the elements of housing, cooperate with said electrical contact member additional so that it shunts one of the organs of electrical contact so as to transmit information to order the temporary interruption of a circuit power supply, said connector being characterized in that the additional electrical contact member has an elastic tongue folded to present, from the vicinity, means for connecting it to a electrical circuit, a straight part ending in a V-shaped part whose free branch is extended by a elbow turned towards the V and extended by a U-shaped part with a soul and two wings, the free wing being terminated by a wave turned on the opposite side to the V, while the means to cooperate with said additional contact member include a bar having, at an intermediate point of its length a shoulder extended by a boss terminated by a point, the bar and the contact member being arranged so that, during mating, the tip of the V meets the boss so let the wave come up against the neighboring contact member, while at the end of the coupling stroke, said tip of the V escapes the boss generating a separation of the wave of the neighboring contact organ.

Grâce à cette disposition, aussi bien à l'accouplement des éléments de boítier qu'à leur désaccouplement, il sera transmis par le shuntage une information permettant une interruption temporaire du circuit d'alimentation.Thanks to this arrangement, both the coupling of the housing elements to their uncoupling, it will be transmitted by shunting a information allowing a temporary interruption of the power circuit.

De préférence, les éléments de boítier comportent des moyens pour les maintenir temporairement dans une position en partie accouplée dans laquelle l'organe de contact électrique est shunté.Preferably, the housing elements include means for temporarily holding them in a position partly coupled in which the contact member electric is shunted.

Ainsi, le temps de désaccouplement est suffisamment long pour que l'information soit transmise et que l'interruption du circuit d'alimentation soit effective.So the decoupling time is enough long so that the information is transmitted and that the interruption of the supply circuit is effective.

Suivant un détail constructif, les éléments de boítier comportent des moyens de verrouillage pour les maintenir dans une position intermédiaire de déverrouillage.According to a constructive detail, the elements of housing include locking means for maintain in an intermediate unlocking position.

De préférence, afin d'éviter de forcer la languette élastique des moyens sont prévus pour limiter le débattement de cette dernière.Preferably, in order to avoid forcing the tongue elastic means are provided to limit the travel of the latter.

Enfin, suivant une caractéristique constructive, l'organe de contact électrique supplémentaire comporte deux joues latérales dans lesquelles sont pratiquées des lumières dans lesquelles sont engagées des saillies de l'aile de la partie en U adjacente au coude prolongeant la branche libre du V.Finally, according to a constructive characteristic, the additional electrical contact member has two side cheeks in which lights are made in which are engaged protrusions of the wing of the U-shaped part adjacent to the elbow extending the branch free from V.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés.The invention will now be described with more details with reference to a particular embodiment given by way of example only and shown in attached drawings.

Figure 8, figure 9 et figure 10 sont des vues partielles en coupe correspondant à la figure 7 et montrant le fonctionnement du connecteur, selon l'invention.Figure 8, Figure 9 and Figure 10 are partial views in section corresponding to FIG. 7 and showing the operation of the connector according to the invention.

L'organe de contact électrique supplémentaire 1 représenté aux figures 1 à 4 est réalisé en un métal bon conducteur de l'électricité et doué d'une certaine élasticité.The additional electrical contact member 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4 is made of a good metal conductor of electricity and endowed with a certain elasticity.

Cet organe 1 est découpé et plié pour présenter, à une extrémité, des pattes de sertissage 2 pour la fixation d'un conducteur électrique, tandis que l'autre extrémité affecte la forme d'un caisson 3 sensiblement à section rectangulaire avec deux joues 4 et 5 et une paroi supérieure 6. This member 1 is cut and folded to present, at one end, crimp tabs 2 for fixing of an electrical conductor, while the other end affects the shape of a box 3 substantially rectangular in section with two cheeks 4 and 5 and a wall upper 6.

Dans la paroi opposée à la paroi supérieure 6 sont pratiquées deux fentes 7 qui déterminent une languette élastique 8.In the wall opposite the upper wall 6 are made two slots 7 which determine a tongue elastic 8.

La languette élastique 8 est pliée pour présenter, successivement à partir de son extrémité adjacente aux pattes 2, une partie rectiligne 8a, une partie en V 8b dont la branche libre 8c est prolongée par un coude 8d tourné du côté du V et prolongé par une partie en U avec une aile 8e, une âme 8f et une seconde aile 8g dont l'extrémité libre 8h présente une onde avec une convexité tournée vers une ouverture 10 de la paroi 6 et située au voisinage de l'extrémité libre dudit organe, ladite onde 8h constituant une zone de contact.The elastic tongue 8 is folded to present, successively from its end adjacent to the legs 2, a straight part 8a, a V-shaped part 8b, the free branch 8c is extended by a bend 8d turned from side of the V and extended by a U-shaped part with an 8th wing, a core 8f and a second wing 8g with the free end 8h has a wave with a convexity facing an opening 10 of the wall 6 and located near the end free of said organ, said 8h wave constituting a contact area.

Les joues 4 et 5, au niveau de l'ouverture 10, présentent des replis 11 et 12 respectivement et dans lesquels sont pratiquées des lumières 13 et 14, tandis que la languette élastique 8, au niveau du coude 8d, présente latéralement des saillies 15 destinées à coopérer avec les lumières 13 et 14 afin de limiter le débattement possible de la languette 8.Cheeks 4 and 5, at opening 10, have folds 11 and 12 respectively and in which lights 13 and 14 are practiced, while the elastic tongue 8, at the elbow 8d, present laterally projections 15 intended to cooperate with the lights 13 and 14 in order to limit the possible travel tab 8.

La joue 5 est prolongée par une partie 17 pliée pour fermer le caisson et elle-même prolongée par une patte 18 elle-même pliée pour s'insérer dans un embouti 19 de la joue 4.Cheek 5 is extended by a folded part 17 to close the box and itself extended by a tab 18 itself folded to fit into a stamped 19 cheek 4.

Du côté opposé à l'extrémité libre de l'organe 1, le caisson 3 est fermé par deux pattes 21 prolongeant la paroi 6 et pliée pour s'étendre jusqu'à la languette 8. On the side opposite the free end of the member 1, the box 3 is closed by two tabs 21 extending the wall 6 and folded to extend to the tongue 8.

Enfin, la partie 17 est prolongée par une barrette 22 pliée à l'intérieur du caisson au droit de la boucle 8h.Finally, part 17 is extended by a bar 22 folded inside the box to the right of the 8h loop.

Les joues 4 et 5 sont percées d'ouvertures 24 pour permettre la fixation de l'organe 1 à l'intérieur d'un conduit d'un connecteur.Cheeks 4 and 5 are pierced with openings 24 for allow the attachment of the member 1 inside a leads from a connector.

Aux figures 5 à 10, on a représenté un connecteur électrique 25 constitué d'un élément de boítier femelle 26 et d'un élément de boítier mâle 27.In Figures 5 to 10, a connector is shown 25 consisting of a female housing element 26 and a male housing element 27.

L'élément de boítier mâle 27 comporte une patte de verrouillage élastique 28 destinée à coopérer avec un ergot 29 de l'élément de boítier femelle 26.The male housing element 27 has a lug of elastic lock 28 intended to cooperate with a lug 29 of the female housing element 26.

Il est également prévu un second verrouillage comprenant une patte élastique 30 solidaire de l'élément 27 et un ergot 31 en saillie à la surface de l'élément 26, l'ergot 31 étant décalé de manière, qu'après déverrouillage de la patte 29, les éléments de boítier 26 et 27 puissent coulisser dans le sens de la séparation sur une certaine distance, mais le désaccouplement nécessitant obligatoirement de soulever la patte 30 pour dégager l'ergot 31.A second locking device is also provided, comprising an elastic tab 30 integral with the element 27 and a lug 31 projecting from the surface of the element 26, the lug 31 being shifted so that only after unlocking of the tab 29, the housing elements 26 and 27 can slide in the direction of separation on a certain distance but the uncoupling requiring obligatorily to raise the leg 30 to release the lug 31.

L'élément de boítier 27 comporte un certain nombre de voies 32 destinées à recevoir, chacune, un organe de contact électrique femelle 33 comportant, à une extrémité, une pince élastique 35 et, à l'autre extrémité, serti un conducteur électrique 34. The housing member 27 has a number channels 32 each intended to receive a female electrical contact 33 comprising, at one end, an elastic clamp 35 and, at the other end, crimped a electrical conductor 34.

Les organes 33 sont pourvus d'ouvertures 37 destinées à coopérer avec des ergots élastiques des voies 32 (non représentés).The members 33 are provided with openings 37 intended to cooperate with elastic lugs of the tracks 32 (not shown).

L'élément de boítier femelle 26 comporte un certain nombre de voies 40 destinées à recevoir, chacune, une languette mâle 41 à une extrémité de chacune desquelles est serti un conducteur 42.The female housing element 26 has a certain number of channels 40 intended to receive, each, a male tongue 41 at one end of each of which is crimped conductor 42.

Dans chaque languette mâle 41 est prévue une ouverture 43 destinée à recevoir un ergot élastique 44 prévu dans chaque voie 40 pour assurer la fixation desdites languettes dans lesdites voies.In each male tongue 41 is provided an opening 43 intended to receive an elastic lug 44 provided in each channel 40 to secure said tabs in said routes.

L'élément de boítier femelle 26 est pourvu d'une jupe 45 destinée à recevoir l'élément de boítier mâle 27.The female housing element 26 is provided with a skirt 45 intended to receive the male box element 27.

L'élément de boítier mâle 27 présente un conduit 46 destiné à recevoir l'organe de contact électrique supplémentaire 1 celui-ci étant verrouillé par des ergots élastiques engagés dans les ouvertures 24 et étant disposé de manière que la boucle 8h soit située en regard d'une fenêtre 47 s'ouvrant sur la voie 33 contiguë.The male housing element 27 has a conduit 46 intended to receive the electrical contact member additional 1 this being locked by lugs elastic engaged in the openings 24 and being arranged so that the 8h loop is located opposite a window 47 opening onto the adjoining track 33.

Le conduit 46 est délimité par une paroi 48 avec une ouverture 49 au niveau de la partie en V 8b de manière que celle-ci puisse faire saillie dans un espace 50 ménagé dans l'élément de boítier mâle 27.The duct 46 is delimited by a wall 48 with an opening 49 at the level of the V-shaped part 8b so that it can protrude into a space 50 provided in the male housing element 27.

L'élément de boítier femelle 26 est pourvu d'une barrette 51 qui fait saillie dans la jupe 45 et qui est prévue pour s'insérer dans l'espace 50. The female housing element 26 is provided with a bar 51 which projects into the skirt 45 and which is designed to fit into space 50.

La barrette 51 présente un épaulement 51a prolongé par un bossage 51b terminé par une pointe 51c.The bar 51 has an extended shoulder 51a by a boss 51b terminated by a point 51c.

Comme on le voit aux figures 8, 9 et 10, lors du désaccouplement des éléments mâle 27 et femelle 26 après avoir soulevé la patte élastique 28 (figure 9), la partie 8b coopère avec l'épaulement 51a et vient porter contre le bossage 51b. Dans cette position, la languette élastique 8 bascule de sorte que l'onde 8h traverse la fenêtre 47 et vient porter contre l'organe 33 correspondant. Dans cette position, on ne peut pas encore séparer les deux éléments 26 et 27 puisque l'ensemble 30, 31 est verrouillé. Après avoir soulevé la patte élastique 30, il est possible de réaliser le désaccouplement (voir figure 10).As seen in Figures 8, 9 and 10, when uncoupling of the male 27 and female 26 elements after having lifted the elastic tab 28 (FIG. 9), the part 8b cooperates with the shoulder 51a and comes to bear against the boss 51b. In this position, the elastic tongue 8 toggles so that the 8h wave crosses window 47 and comes to bear against the corresponding member 33. In this position, we cannot separate the two elements yet 26 and 27 since the assembly 30, 31 is locked. After lifting the elastic tab 30, it is possible to decouple (see figure 10).

On conçoit que, lors de l'accouplement des éléments de boítier 26 et 27, dans un premier temps, la partie 8b viendra coopérer avec la pointe 51c puis le bossage 51b pour engendrer un basculement de la languette élastique 8 dont l'onde 8h viendra en contact de l'organe voisin 33 (voir figure 9), en fin de course la partie 8b échappant le bossage 51b de sorte que ladite onde 8h s'écartera de l'organe de contact électrique voisin 33.It is understood that, during the coupling of the housing elements 26 and 27, initially, the part 8b will cooperate with the tip 51c then the boss 51b to generate a tilting of the tongue elastic 8 whose 8h wave will come into contact with the organ neighbor 33 (see figure 9), at the end of the race part 8b escaping the boss 51b so that said wave 8h will move away from the neighboring electrical contact member 33.

Ainsi à l'accouplement ou au désaccouplement des éléments de boítier 26 et 27, on réalisera entre l'organe 1 et l'organe de contact voisin 33 un shunt qui permet de donner une information pour commander la coupure de l'alimentation électrique. Thus the coupling or uncoupling of housing elements 26 and 27, we will realize between the body 1 and the neighboring contact member 33 a shunt which makes it possible to give information to control the power cut electric.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to embodiment which has just been described and represented.
