Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector locking device comprising a first element and a second element, one carrying contacts of a first type cooperating with contacts of a second type carried by the other, the connection being made. by bringing a first face of an element closer to a first face of the other element.
  • a part of a connector comprises a plurality of male contacts cooperating with female contacts of the other part. If one part of the connector is generally fixed (on the bottom of a bay for example), the other part is only held by the cooperation of the contacts. This second part, which undergoes the weight of the cable to which it is connected, can separate from the first, either following a shock, or because the racking-in has been incorrect.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a locking device preventing the connector from being opened unexpectedly, and ensuring perfect engagement.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a locking device which, in addition to its role of blocking the elements of the connector, also plays the role of a key, so as to prevent the elements of the connector from being connected in a wrong way.
  • the invention relates to a connector locking device comprising a first element and a second element, one carrying contacts of a first type cooperating with contacts of a second type carried by the other, the connection being made by bringing a first face of an element with a second face of the other element, characterized in that the first element comprises a first part provided with hooked members extending perpendicularly to two edges of the first face towards the outside of the element, said part being able to move relative to the first element parallel to said edges and being returned to a fixed position by a spring, the second element comprising a second part, fixed relative to the second element, arranged in the vicinity of the second face, and carrying openings of a shape complementary to that of the hooked organs,
  • Figure 1 shows, in exploded view the various elements of a connector and the locking member of the invention.
  • the example is that of a connector in which one of the elements of the connector, here the element referenced 1 is fixed on a bay 2.
  • the bay is a printed circuit board.
  • the map can be horizontal or vertical.
  • Pins 3 pass through the card and the connector element 1 through holes 5.
  • This connector element 1 having the shape of a box inside which the pins 3 protrude, is intended to be connected to a second element 6, carrying cavities 7 in correspondence with pins 3; at the bottom of these cavities are placed pins 8, the ends of which 8a cooperate with the pins 3 to make the electrical contact and the other ends of which are connected to wires 9 joined together to form a cable 9a which leaves the element 6.
  • a first locking piece 10 is a metal piece, which is mounted around the element 1 and which includes slides such as 11a to 11d which can slide in grooves 12a to 12d formed in the element 1. Hooked members such as 13 extend parallel to two large faces 14a and 14b of the element 1 and extend beyond the edges of this element.
  • a spring formed from an elastic metal blade 15 rests on the one hand against one end of the element 1, on the other hand against a fold 16 of the part 10.
  • a second locking part 20 surrounds the connector element 6, in the vicinity of the face facing the element 1. This part is fixed to the element 6 by means of screws 21a and 21b, passing through holes 22a and 22b of transverse lugs 23a and 23b of the room. The legs rest on shoulders 24a and 24b of the element 6, provided with holes 25a and 25b to receive the screws 21a and 21b.
  • the part carries laterally notches 26 intended to cooperate with the hooked members 13.
  • the dimension d of the opening 26a of the notch is just slightly greater than the length of the hook counted from the tip 13a to the heel 13b, so as to allow the hooks to be engaged in the notches.
  • the locking piece 10 is pressed (arrow F in figure 2a); in this way when the cavities 7 come opposite the pins 3, the hooked members 13 are opposite the notches 26 and can penetrate therein.
  • the hook-carrying member which is movable in translation; of course the notch-carrying member can be movable, the hook-carrying member then being fixed.
