Objet et résumé de l'inventionSubject and summary of the invention
L'invention a pour but de fournir un connecteur électrique pour appareil de chauffage ou de climatisation de véhicule ou, d'une façon plus générale pour tout appareil de puissance. Le connecteur maintient plusieurs connecteurs femelles du type RADSOK entre elles à des connecteurs mâles définis et spécifiques sans avoir la nécessité de pièces complémentaires pour assurer une bonne cohésion de l'ensemble. Un autre but de la présente invention est de faciliter le montage du connecteur sur l'appareil électrique.The object of the invention is to provide an electrical connector for a vehicle heating or air conditioning device or, more generally for any power device. The connector holds several female connectors of the RADSOK type together with defined and specific male connectors without the need for additional parts to ensure good cohesion of the assembly. Another object of the present invention is to facilitate the mounting of the connector on the electrical appliance.
Ces buts sont atteints grâce à un connecteur électrique comportant un boîtier en matière isolante électriquement muni d'au moins un contact femelle comportant une cosse métallique formée d'une bague de sertissage destinée à recevoir un câble électrique et d'une fiche comportant un épaulement annulaire traversé par un manchon cylindrique destiné à recevoir un contact mâle, caractérisé en ce que le boîtier comporte une pluralité de fûts sensiblement cylindriques qui s'étendent depuis un fond de boîtier, chacun destiné à recevoir un contact femelle, et des moyens de fixations, repartis autour du fût et s'étendant depuis le fond de boîtier, étant prévus pour pré-maintenir en position ledit contact femelle, le fût ayant une partie interne supérieure destinée à coopérer avec ledit épaulement.These aims are achieved by means of an electrical connector comprising a casing made of electrically insulating material provided with at least one female contact comprising a metal lug formed by a crimping ring intended to receive an electrical cable and by a plug comprising an annular shoulder. crossed by a cylindrical sleeve intended to receive a male contact, characterized in that the housing comprises a plurality of substantially cylindrical barrels which extend from a bottom of the housing, each intended to receive a female contact, and fixing means, distributed around the barrel and extending from the bottom of the housing, being provided to pre-maintain in position said female contact, the barrel having an upper internal part intended to cooperate with said shoulder.
Ainsi, on obtient dans une structure compacte, un montage facile d'une pluralité de contacts en une seule opération évitant toute erreur de connexion et par conséquent présentant un niveau de sécurité augmenté.Thus, in a compact structure, an easy assembly of a plurality of contacts is obtained in a single operation avoiding any connection error and therefore having an increased level of security.
Avantageusement, ladite partie interne de chaque fût présente une forme tronconique sur sa partie supérieure et la partie extérieure de l'épaulement présente une forme tronconique complémentaire, de sorte que le fût coopère sans jeu avec l'épaulement lorsque le contact femelle reçoit le contact mâle.Advantageously, said internal part of each barrel has a frustoconical shape on its upper part and the external part of the shoulder has a complementary frustoconical shape, so that the barrel cooperates without play with the shoulder when the female contact receives the male contact. .
Ainsi, une étanchéité est assurée entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du contact femelle, même lorsque les contacts mâles sont creux.Thus, a seal is ensured between the inside and the outside of the female contact, even when the male contacts are hollow.
Selon une particularité de l'invention, les fûts présentent des hauteurs identiques.According to a feature of the invention, the drums have identical heights.
Avantageusement, les fûts présentent des hauteurs variables de sorte que chaque hauteur est associée à un contact femelle particulier défini par la position de son épaulement annulaire par rapport au manchon cylindrique. La hauteur du fût destiné à recevoir le contact femelle relié au câble associé à un potentiel de masse, peut être différente de celles des fûts destinés à recevoir les contacts femelles reliés aux câbles associés à des potentiels d'alimentation. Les moyens de fixations peuvent être des clips repartis autour de chaque fût de façon à laisser un espace libre pour le passage de la partie de la cosse reliée au câble.Advantageously, the drums have variable heights so that each height is associated with a particular female contact defined by the position of its annular shoulder relative to the cylindrical sleeve. The height of the barrel intended to receive the female contact connected to the cable associated with a ground potential, may be different from that of the barrels intended to receive the female contacts connected to the cables associated with supply potentials. The fixing means can be clips distributed around each drum so as to leave a free space for the passage of the part of the terminal connected to the cable.
Selon une particularité de l'invention, l'espace libre au niveau du fût traversé par la partie de la cosse reliée au câble associé au potentiel de masse, est disposé sur un côté du boîtier sensiblement opposé à celui comportant des espaces libres aux niveaux des fûts traversés par les parties des cosses reliées aux câbles associés aux potentiels d'alimentation.According to a feature of the invention, the free space at the level of the barrel crossed by the part of the terminal connected to the cable associated with the ground potential, is arranged on one side of the housing substantially opposite to that comprising free spaces at the levels of drums crossed by the parts of the terminals connected to the cables associated with the supply potentials.
Les espaces de passage des parties des cosses reliées aux câbles d'un même côté du boîtier sont séparés par des nervures de façon à éviter tout contact entre les cosses métalliques, et le boîtier comporte des aubes de protection des sorties des cosses métalliques.The passage spaces of the parts of the terminals connected to the cables on the same side of the housing are separated by ribs so as to avoid any contact between the metal terminals, and the housing comprises vanes for protecting the outputs of the metal terminals.
Selon un mode particulier de l'invention, le boîtier comporte quatre fûts. Selon une particularité se l'invention, les fûts sont disposés de façon alignée dans une direction longitudinale du boîtier.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the housing comprises four drums. According to a feature of the invention, the drums are arranged in an aligned manner in a longitudinal direction of the housing.
Avantageusement, le boîtier reçoit un capot en matière isolante électriquement.Advantageously, the housing receives a cover of electrically insulating material.
L'invention a aussi pour objet une installation de chauffage et/ou climatisation comprenant un dispositif de chauffage pour véhicule automobile comportant un connecteur électrique tel que défini ci-dessus, le connecteur étant assemblé sur le dispositif de chauffage.The invention also relates to a heating and / or air conditioning installation comprising a heating device for a motor vehicle comprising an electrical connector as defined above, the connector being assembled on the heating device.

Description détaillée des modes de réalisationDetailed description of the embodiments
L'invention concerne la connexion électrique aux dispositifs ou appareils électriques de hautes puissances en particulier pour des appareils traversés par un flux d'air dans une installation de chauffage et/ou climatisation de véhicules. Un mode de réalisation de l'invention sera décrit ci-après dans le cadre de l'application à un dispositif de chauffage ou radiateur électrique.The invention relates to the electrical connection to high power electrical devices or devices, in particular for devices through which an air flow passes in a vehicle heating and / or air conditioning installation. An embodiment of the invention will be described below in the context of application to a heating device or electric heater.
La figure 1 montre une partie d'une installation de chauffage de véhicule automobile, comprenant un boîtier de climatisation 2 délimitant un canal 3 pour le passage de l'air à réchauffer. Le canal 3 amène l'air vers des bouches de chauffage et de désembuage/dégivrage pour être distribué sélectivement dans l'habitacle selon les positions de volets de mixage et distribution 6. Le débit d'air dans le canal 3 est produit par un ventilateur 7, ou pulseur, recevant de l'air extérieur ou de l'air de recirculation en provenance de l'habitacle. Le réchauffage de l'air, lorsqu'il est nécessaire, est assuré par un echangeur de chaleur à liquide éventuel 8, utilisant le liquide de refroidissement du moteur comme liquide caloporteur et par un radiateur électrique 10. L'échangeur 8 et le radiateur électrique 10 sont disposés dans le canal 3, le premier étant situé en amont du second. En l'absence d'échangeur 8, le chauffage de l'air est assuré par le seul radiateur électrique 10.Figure 1 shows a part of a motor vehicle heating installation, comprising an air conditioning unit 2 defining a channel 3 for the passage of the air to be heated. Channel 3 brings the air to the heating and demisting / defrosting outlets to be selectively distributed in the passenger compartment according to the positions of the mixing and distribution flaps 6. The air flow in channel 3 is produced by a fan 7, or blower, receiving outside air or recirculating air from the passenger compartment. The heating of the air, when necessary, is ensured by an optional liquid heat exchanger 8, using the engine coolant as coolant and by an electric radiator 10. The exchanger 8 and the electric radiator 10 are arranged in the channel 3, the first being located upstream of the second. In the absence of an exchanger 8, the air is heated by the only electric heater 10.
Un mode de montage d'un radiateur électrique dans un appareil de chauffage et climatisation est décrit notamment dans la demande de brevet français n° 01 09 076 de la déposante. Le radiateur électrique peut occuper tout ou partie de la section de passage du canal 3. Dans ce dernier cas, seule une partie du flux d'air produit par le pulseur 7 traverse le radiateur électrique, l'autre partie étant dérivée à l'extérieur de celui-ci. Le radiateur électrique 10 est monté de façon connue à l'intérieur d'un cadre support agencé de façon à ce que le radiateur 10 électrique soit traversé par la totalité du flux d'air à réchauffer. Le cadre support du radiateur électrique comporte sur un de ces bords un module électrique de commande relié à des potentiels d'alimentation et à un potentiel de masse à travers des câbles électriques par l'intermédiaire d'un connecteur électrique selon l'invention. Le connecteur électrique est monté à l'extérieur du boîtier de climatisation 2, Par conséquent, il est recommandé que le connecteur soit étanche aux flux d'air.A method of mounting an electric radiator in a heating and air conditioning device is described in particular in French patent application No. 01 09 076 of the applicant. The electric radiator can occupy all or part of the passage section of the channel 3. In the latter case, only part of the air flow produced by the blower 7 passes through the electric radiator, the other part being derived outside of it. The electric heater 10 is mounted in a known manner inside a support frame arranged so that the electric heater 10 is traversed by the entire flow of air to be heated. The support frame of the electric radiator comprises on one of these edges an electric control module connected to supply potentials and to a ground potential through electric cables via an electric connector according to the invention. The electrical connector is mounted on the outside of the air conditioning unit 2, therefore it is recommended that the connector is airtight.
La figure 2 montre un contact femelle 20 comportant une cosse métallique 22 formée d'une bague 24 de sertissage serrant une partie dénudée d'un câble électrique 26 et d'une fiche 28 annulaire sur sa partie libre, traversée par un manchon 21 cylindrique, de préférence du type RADSOK. Selon l'invention, la fiche 28 de la cosse 22 présente un épaulement 29 annulaire ayant une partie extérieure 29a de forme particulière. Un exemple de réalisation d'un connecteur électrique conforme à l'invention sera maintenant décrit en référence aux figures 3 à 7.FIG. 2 shows a female contact 20 comprising a metal lug 22 formed by a crimping ring 24 tightening a stripped part of an electric cable 26 and an annular plug 28 on its free part, crossed by a cylindrical sleeve 21, preferably RADSOK type. According to the invention, the plug 28 of the terminal 22 has an annular shoulder 29 having an outer part 29a of particular shape. An exemplary embodiment of an electrical connector according to the invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.
Comme le montre la figure 3, le connecteur électrique comporte un boîtier 30 délimité par un fond 31 de boîtier et un rebord 32. Le boîtier 30 est d'une forme sensiblement rectangulaire allongée dans une direction longitudinale.As shown in Figure 3, the electrical connector comprises a housing 30 delimited by a bottom 31 of the housing and a flange 32. The housing 30 is of a substantially rectangular shape elongated in a longitudinal direction.
Le boîtier 30 comporte une pluralité de fûts 34, pour une pluralité de broches de connexions, sensiblement cylindriques qui s'étendent depuis le fond 31 du boîtier et qui sont disposés par exemple, de façon alignée dans la direction longitudinale afin d'assurer une compacité optimale. A titre d'exemple, quatre fûts 34 sont représentés sur la figure, mais ce nombre peut être quelconque. Par ailleurs, le boîtier 30 est en matière isolante électriquement de préférence en matière synthétique, tel que le plastique. Chaque fût 34 est destiné à assurer le centrage et le positionnement d'un contact femelle 20. En outre, des moyens de fixations, repartis autour du fût 34 et s'étendant également depuis le fond 31 du boîtier, sont prévus pour pré-maintenir en position ledit contact femelle 20. Les moyens de fixations peuvent être des clips 36 qui se déforment élastiquement pour recevoir les fiches 28 annulaires des contacts femelles 20. Ainsi, ces clips 36 assurent le maintien des contacts femelles 20 avant que ces derniers reçoivent des électrodes ou contacts mâles venant du radiateur. Les clips 36 sont circonscrits autour de chaque fût 34 et sont disposés sur une partie de sa périphérie de façon à laisser un espace libre 38 au niveau de chaque fût pour le passage de la partie de la cosse 22 reliée au câble. Par exemple, trois clips 36 peuvent être repartis régulièrement autour d'une moitié de chaque fût 34 à intervalles angulaires d'environ 90°, délaissant ainsi un espace libre 38 au niveau de l'autre moitié du fût 34 pour le passage de la partie de la cosse reliée au câble.The housing 30 comprises a plurality of drums 34, for a plurality of substantially cylindrical connection pins which extend from the bottom 31 of the housing and which are arranged, for example, aligned in the longitudinal direction in order to ensure compactness optimal. For example, four drums 34 are shown in the figure, but this number can be any. Furthermore, the housing 30 is made of electrically insulating material, preferably of synthetic material, such as plastic. Each barrel 34 is intended to ensure centering and positioning of a female contact 20. In addition, fixing means, distributed around the barrel 34 and also extending from the bottom 31 of the housing, are provided to pre-maintain in position said female contact 20. The fastening means may be clips 36 which are elastically deformed to receive the annular plugs 28 of the female contacts 20. Thus, these clips 36 maintain the female contacts 20 before the latter receive electrodes or male contacts coming from the radiator. The clips 36 are circumscribed around each barrel 34 and are arranged on a part of its periphery so as to leave a free space 38 at each barrel for the passage of the part of the pod 22 connected to the cable. For example, three clips 36 can be distributed regularly around one half of each barrel 34 at angular intervals of approximately 90 °, thus leaving a free space 38 at the level of the other half of the barrel 34 for the passage of the part. of the terminal connected to the cable.
Afin de différencier le câble 26a relié à la masse de ceux 26b reliés aux potentiels d'alimentation, l'espace libre 38 au niveau du fût traversé par la partie de la cosse reliée au câble 26a de masse, est disposé sur un côté 32 du boîtier 30 sensiblement opposé à celui comportant des espaces libres aux niveaux des fûts 34 traversés par les parties des cosses reliées aux câbles d'alimentation.In order to differentiate the cable 26a connected to ground from those 26b connected to the supply potentials, the free space 38 at the level of the barrel crossed by the part of the terminal connected to the cable 26a to ground, is arranged on one side 32 of the housing 30 substantially opposite to that comprising free spaces at the level of the drums 34 crossed by the parts of the lugs connected to the power cables.
Avantageusement, les espaces libres 38 de passage des parties des cosses reliées aux câbles 26b d'un même côté du boîtier 30 sont séparés par des nervures 40 de façon à éviter tout contact entre les cosses 22. En effet, l'exemple de la figure 3 comporte trois fûts, séparés deux à deux par une nervure 40, recevant trois contacts femelles 20 fixés à des câbles 26b d'alimentation orientés dans une direction sensiblement transversale par rapport au côté allongé du boîtier 30. Le dernier fût 34 est destiné à recevoir un contact femelle (non représenté) fixé à un câble 26a de masse orienté dans un sens opposé aux trois autres.Advantageously, the free spaces 38 for passage of the parts of the lugs connected to the cables 26b on the same side of the housing 30 are separated by ribs 40 so as to avoid any contact between the lugs 22. In fact, the example of FIG. 3 comprises three drums, separated in pairs by a rib 40, receiving three female contacts 20 fixed to power cables 26b oriented in a direction substantially transverse to the elongated side of the housing 30. The last barrel 34 is intended to receive a female contact (not shown) fixed to a ground cable 26a oriented in a direction opposite to the other three.
En outre, le boîtier comporte une première aube 42a de protection de sortie de la cosse reliée au câble 26a de masse et une seconde aube 42b de protection des sorties des trois cosses reliées au câbles 26b d'alimentation.In addition, the housing comprises a first blade 42a for output protection from the terminal connected to the ground cable 26a and a second blade 42b for protecting the outputs of the three lugs connected to the power supply cables 26b.
La figure 4 montre que chaque fût 34 possède une partie interne supérieure 34a destinée à coopérer avec l'épaulement 29 de la cosse femelle 20. En particulier, la partie interne 34a du fût 34 présente sur sa partie supérieure une forme tronconique et la partie extérieure 29a de l'épaulement présente une forme tronconique complémentaire assurant ainsi, une bonne cohésion de l'ensemble. La partie supérieure du fût 34 peut être réalisée en surmoulage annulaire. Avantageusement, lorsque le contact femelle 20 reçoit le contact mâle, la partie interne supérieure 34a du fût 34 coopère sans jeu avec l'épaulement 29 de la cosse 22. Ainsi, même lorsque des contacts mâles creux issus d'un procédé de fabrication de type roulage sont introduits dans les manchons 21, une étanchéité est assurée entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du contact femelle empêchant toute fuite du flux d'air du boîtier de climatisation vers l'habitacle du véhicule qui peut être désagréable pour les passagers.FIG. 4 shows that each barrel 34 has an upper internal part 34a intended to cooperate with the shoulder 29 of the female terminal 20. In particular, the internal part 34a of the barrel 34 has on its upper part a frustoconical shape and the external part 29a of the shoulder has a complementary frustoconical shape thus ensuring good cohesion of the assembly. The upper part of the barrel 34 can be produced by annular overmolding. Advantageously, when the female contact 20 receives the male contact, the upper internal part 34a of the barrel 34 cooperates without play with the shoulder 29 of the terminal 22. Thus, even when hollow male contacts originating from a manufacturing process of the type rolling are introduced into the sleeves 21, a seal is provided between the inside and the outside of the female contact preventing any leakage of the air flow from the air conditioning unit to the passenger compartment of the vehicle which may be unpleasant for passengers.
La figure 5 illustre un capot 50, en matière synthétique d'une même forme allongée que le boîtier et qui est destiné à être monté sur le boîtier 30 (voir figure 7), le connecteur ainsi formé étant enfiché dans les contacts mâles d'un dispositif de chauffage ou radiateur électrique (voir également la figure 6). En effet, les contacts mâles 42 du radiateur 10 pénètrent dans les manchons 21 des contacts femelles 20 qui sont prémaintenus dans le boîtier 30.FIG. 5 illustrates a cover 50, made of synthetic material of the same elongated shape as the housing and which is intended to be mounted on the housing 30 (see FIG. 7), the connector thus formed being inserted in the male contacts of a electric heater or radiator (see also Figure 6). In fact, the male contacts 42 of the radiator 10 penetrate into the sleeves 21 of the female contacts 20 which are pre-maintained in the housing 30.
Les centres des trous 52 du capot 50 coïncident avec les centres des fûts 34 du boîtier 30 et les manchons 21 des contacts femelles s'appuient sur les bords des trous 52.The centers of the holes 52 of the cover 50 coincide with the centers of the barrels 34 of the housing 30 and the sleeves 21 of the female contacts bear on the edges of the holes 52.
La figure 6 illustre une section passant dans le plan des axes des broches de connexions du dispositif de chauffage ou radiateur électrique 10 montrant une partie du radiateur électrique 10, le capot 50 et le boîtier 30. L'exemple de la figure 6, montre que les fûts 34 présentent des hauteurs variables de sorte que chaque hauteur est associée à un contact femelle 20 particulier. En effet (voir aussi figure 5) la position de la fiche 28 et donc de l'épaulement annulaire 29, par rapport au manchon 21 cylindrique détermine la hauteur de la partie du manchon 21 destinée à être reçue par le fût 34. Alors des positions variables des fiches 28 annulaires peuvent définir des contacts femelles différents associés à des hauteurs variables des fûts 34. Ainsi, la hauteur du fût 34 couplée avec la position de fiche 28 annulaire détrompe la nature de chaque contact femelle.FIG. 6 illustrates a section passing in the plane of the axes of the pins of connections of the heating device or electric radiator 10 showing a part of the electric radiator 10, the cover 50 and the housing 30. The example of FIG. 6 shows that the barrels 34 have variable heights so that each height is associated with a particular female contact 20. Indeed (see also Figure 5) the position of the plug 28 and therefore of the annular shoulder 29, relative to the cylindrical sleeve 21 determines the height of the part of the sleeve 21 intended to be received by the barrel 34. Then variable positions of the annular plugs 28 can define different female contacts associated with variable heights of the barrels 34. Thus, the height of the barrel 34 coupled with the position of the annular plug 28 undoes the nature of each female contact.
En particulier, la hauteur du fût 34a destiné à recevoir le contact femelle relié au câble de la masse 26a, est différente de celles des fûts 34b destinés à recevoir les contacts femelles reliés aux câbles d'alimentation 26b. De la sorte, une standardisation d'une partie embase du radiateur électrique peut être réalisée. Par ailleurs, différents dispositifs électriques peuvent être différenciés en paramétrant la hauteur, l'orientation et la disposition des contacts femelles dans le boîtier 30.In particular, the height of the barrel 34a intended to receive the female contact connected to the ground cable 26a is different from that of the barrels 34b intended to receive the female contacts connected to the power cables 26b. In this way, a standardization of a base portion of the electric heater can be achieved. Furthermore, different electrical devices can be differentiated by configuring the height, orientation and arrangement of the female contacts in the housing 30.
Bien entendu, il est aussi envisageable que les hauteurs des fûts soient toutes identiques. Le capot 50 est fixé sur le boîtier 30 (voir aussi figure 7) par des moyens de fixation par exemple par deux vis (non représentés) à travers deux trous 56 situés aux extrémités du boîtier 30 et qui se logent dans des plots de fixation 58 du capot. De même, d'autres moyens de fixation, tel par clippage, sont possibles. L'assemblage entre le connecteur et le radiateur électrique 10 est assuré par des moyens de fixation par exemple par deux vis (non représentées) à travers deux trous 54 situés aux extrémités du capot 50 et qui se logent dans des plots de fixation (non représentés) du dispositif électrique 10. On notera que, le boîtier, le capot et le radiateur peuvent être fixés en une seule fois avec des mêmes moyens de fixation. Ainsi, des vis peuvent traverser le boîtier 30 et le capot 50, par exemple à travers les trous 56 et les trous 60, et venir se loger dans des plots de fixations du radiateur.Of course, it is also conceivable that the heights of the drums are all identical. The cover 50 is fixed to the housing 30 (see also Figure 7) by fixing means for example by two screws (not shown) through two holes 56 located at the ends of the housing 30 and which are housed in fixing pads 58 of the hood. Similarly, other fixing means, such as clipping, are possible. The assembly between the connector and the electric heater 10 is ensured by fixing means for example by two screws (not shown) through two holes 54 located at the ends of the cover 50 and which are housed in fixing studs (not shown) ) of the electrical device 10. It will be noted that the housing, the cover and the radiator can be fixed at one time with the same fixing means. Thus, screws can pass through the housing 30 and the cover 50, for example through the holes 56 and the holes 60, and come to be housed in studs for fixing the radiator.
De même, des vis de fixation du radiateur électrique 10 sur le boîtier de climatisation (non représenté) peuvent aussi être utilisées pour fixer le connecteur sur le radiateur électrique 10. Il est aussi envisageable de monter le connecteur sur le radiateur électrique 10 par clippage, boutterolage, ou tout autre moyen de fixation. En outre, comme l'illustre la figure 7, le boîtier 30 comporte des lumières 62 aux pieds des clips qui permettent le démoulage. Ceci a pour intérêt de ne pas avoir des mouvements supplémentaires au démoulage. Similarly, screws for fixing the electric radiator 10 to the air conditioning unit (not shown) can also be used to fix the connector to the electric radiator 10. It is also possible to mount the connector on the electric radiator 10 by clipping, buttressing, or any other means of attachment. In addition, as illustrated in Figure 7, the housing 30 has lights 62 at the feet of the clips which allow the release. This has the advantage of not having additional movements during demolding.
