Abstract

An electrical connector comprises a male tab (1) and a female clip (3). When the tab is inserted into the clip (3), an elastically deformable portion (5a, 9) of the clip engages the tab and the projection (9) enters an opening in the tab, thus locking the tab and clip (3) together. To release the tab flange 5a is engaged with a sloping abutment of a suitable insulating housing (shown in outline) and the projection (9) is elastically deformed downwards. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un perfectionnement aux dispositifs de connexion électrique comportant une languette mâle de forme rectangulaire plate qui est introduite dans un clip femelle.The present invention relates to an improvement to electrical connection devices comprising a male tongue of flat rectangular shape which is inserted into a female clip.

Dans les dispositifs de ce type la languette comporte un orifice circulaire qui vient s'engager à force sur un têton porté par le clip femelle, ce qui permet le verrouillage de la connexion. Ce mode d'enfichage présente un double inconvénient: d'une part, l'effort de pression à exercer sur les parties mâle et femelle doit être suffisamment important pour que ladite partie femelle se déforme jusqu'à ce que le verrouillage ait lieu, ce qui rend parfois le montage difficile; d'autre part, il se produit souvent que la déformation du clip femelle est telle qu'elle demeure permanente dans une certaine mesure, de sorte qu'il peut se produire des déconnexions accidentelles. En plus, la déconnexion de ces dispositifs nécessite l'introduction dans le clip d'un outil pour déformer à nouveau celui-ci, ce qui aggrave d'autant la déformation de ce clip.In devices of this type, the tongue has a circular orifice which engages by force on a pin carried by the female clip, which allows the connection to be locked. This plugging mode has a double drawback: firstly, the pressure force to be exerted on the male and female parts must be sufficiently great for said female part to deform until locking takes place, this which sometimes makes editing difficult; on the other hand, it often happens that the deformation of the female clip is such that it remains permanent to a certain extent, so that accidental disconnections can occur. In addition, the disconnection of these devices requires the introduction into the clip of a tool to deform it again, which further aggravates the deformation of this clip.

La présente invention a pour objet un perfectionnement à ce type de dispositif permettant d'obtenir: un effort d'enfichage faible; une résistance à l'extraction élevée; et en plus une extraction volontaire facile.The subject of the present invention is an improvement to this type of device making it possible to obtain: a low plugging force; high resistance to extraction; and in addition an easy voluntary extraction.

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de connexion électrique comportant une languette mâle introduite dans un clip femelle, du type dans lequel le clip femelle a la forme générale d'un parallélépipède creux dont la paroi inférieure ou semelle comporte une languette élastique munie d'un ergot destiné à venir s'encastrer dans un orifice de forme correspondante de la languette mâle, caractérisé en ce que la languette élastique du clip femelle est articulée vers l'arrière et a son extrémité avant repliée vers le bas d'un angle d'environ 45°.The present invention relates to an electrical connection device comprising a male tongue inserted into a female clip, of the type in which the female clip has the general shape of a hollow parallelepiped whose bottom wall or sole has an elastic tongue provided with a lug intended to be fitted into a shaped orifice corresponding to the male tongue, characterized in that the elastic tongue of the female clip is hinged rearward and has its front end folded down at an angle of about 45 °.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention,

  • - un capuchon isolant recouvre le clip femelle, ce capuchon étant constitué par un manchon pouvant coulisser le long dudit clip, ledit manchon comportant à sa paroi inférieure une butée dont le rebord en plan incliné engage le rebord avant incliné de la languette du clip afin de faire plier celle-ci- élastiquement vers le bas ce qui dégage l'ergot de l'orifice de la languette mâle;
  • - la languette élastique du clip comporte une petite languette repliée vers le bas en direction opposée du rebord avant de la languette élastique;
  • - la paroi supérieure du clip est constituée de deux parties symétriques reliées aux rebords fixes de la paroi inférieure par les parois latérales du clip;
  • - chacune des parties symétriques de la paroi supérieure comporte une portion bombée vers le bas.
According to other features of the invention,
  • an insulating cap covers the female clip, this cap being constituted by a sleeve which can slide along said clip, said sleeve comprising at its lower wall a stop whose rim in inclined plane engages the inclined front rim of the tongue of the clip in order to bend it elastically downwards which releases the lug from the orifice of the male tongue;
  • - the elastic tongue of the clip has a small tongue folded down in the opposite direction from the front edge of the elastic tongue;
  • - The upper wall of the clip consists of two symmetrical parts connected to the fixed edges of the lower wall by the side walls of the clip;
  • - Each of the symmetrical parts of the upper wall has a curved downward portion.

  • Figure 1, une vue par-dessous d'un mode de réalisation d'un clip femelle selon l'invention;
  • Figure 2, une vue en élévation latérale avec coupe partielle, selon B-B de la figure 4, du clip de la figure 1;

En se reportant à ces dessins, on voit que la figure 6 représente de façon partielle la partie mâle du dispositif de connexion qui comporte une languette 1 plate et rectangulaire, munie d'un orifice central 2. D'une façon connue et non représentée, cette languette est fixée à la partie conductrice d'un conducteur par une cosse sertie et à l'isolant qui enrobe ce conducteur par une pince sertie sur cet isolant. Cette languette mâle est de type connu et ses dimensions sont définies par une norme.Referring to these drawings, it can be seen that FIG. 6 partially represents the male part of the connection device which comprises a flat and rectangular tongue 1, provided with a central orifice 2. In a known manner and not shown, this tab is fixed to the conductive part of a conductor by a crimped lug and to the insulator which coats this conductor by a clamp crimped onto this insulator. This male tab is of known type and its dimensions are defined by a standard.

Les figures 2 à 5 incluse représentent le clip femelle3qui a la forme générale d'un parallélépipède rectangle creux, de façon que la languette 1 puisse venir s'y insérer.Figures 2 to 5 inclusive show the female clip 3 which has the general shape of a hollow rectangular parallelepiped, so that the tongue 1 can be inserted therein.

Ce clip 3 comporte comme cela est connu une cosse 3a destinée à être sertie sur le conducteur et une pince 3b destinée à être sertie sur l'isolant.This clip 3 comprises, as is known, a terminal 3a intended to be crimped on the conductor and a clamp 3b intended to be crimped on the insulator.

La paroi inférieure ou semelle du parallélépipède comporte une découpe 4, en forme de U qui définit une languette centrale 5, deux rebords latéraux 6 et un rebord frontal 7. La languette 5 n'étant tenue que par un côté peut se déformer élastiquement tandis que les rebords 6 et 7 sont fixes. L'extrémité 5a de la languette est repliée vers le bas d'environ 45° et en arrière de ce pli est pratiquée une découpe 8 presque circulaire ayant un rayon légèrement inférieur à celui de l'orifice 2 de la languette 1.The bottom wall or sole of the parallelepiped has a cutout 4, in the shape of a U which defines a central tongue 5, two lateral edges 6 and a front edge 7. The tongue 5 being held only by one side can deform elastically while the edges 6 and 7 are fixed. The end 5a of the tongue is folded down about 45 ° and behind this fold is made an almost circular cut 8 having a radius slightly less than that of the orifice 2 of the tongue 1.

La matière de la languette 5 se trouvant à l'intérieur de la découpe 8 est légèrement pliée vers le haut de façon à former un ergot semi- circulaire 9 qui fait saillie à l'intérieur du volume parallélépipèdique creux du clip 3.The material of the tongue 5 located inside the cutout 8 is slightly bent upwards so as to form a semi-circular lug 9 which projects inside the hollow parallelepiped volume of the clip 3.

De préférence, une petite languette 10 est découpée dans la languette 5 et également repliée vers le bas en sens inverse du bec 5a de ladite languette 5.Preferably, a small tongue 10 is cut from the tongue 5 and also folded down in the opposite direction from the spout 5a of said tongue 5.

On voit donc qu'en exerçant une traction vers le bas soit sur le bec 5a, soit sur la languette, on abaisse élastiquement l'ensemble de la languette 5.It is therefore seen that by exerting a pull down either on the spout 5a or on the tongue, the assembly of the tongue 5 is lowered elastically.

La paroi supérieure ou couvercle du parallélépipède est en deux parties symétriques 11 séparées par une découpe 12. Les parois latérales 13 relient les parties 11 aux rebords 6 de la paroi inférieure. Ainsi le parallélépipède est formé en une feuille métallique en une seule pièce, repliée deux fois sur elle-même, de façon a comporter: une paroi inférieure ou semelle formée par les rebords 6 et 7, ainsi que la languette 5 (paroi inférieure reliée à la cosse 3a et à la pince 3b); deux parois latérales 13; et une paroi supérieure, formée de deux parties symétriques 11, qui butent l'une contre l'autre selon la ligne-12. Les deux parties 11 formant la paroi supérieure sont incurvées en leur partie centrale lla.The upper wall or cover of the parallelepiped is in two symmetrical parts 11 separated by a cutout 12. The side walls 13 connect the parts 11 to the flanges 6 of the lower wall. Thus the parallelepiped is formed in a metal sheet in one piece, folded twice on itself, so as to have: a bottom wall or sole formed by the flanges 6 and 7, as well as the tongue 5 (bottom wall connected to the terminal 3a and the clamp 3b); two side walls 13; and an upper wall, formed of two symmetrical parts 11, which abut one against the other along the line-12. The two parts 11 forming the upper wall are curved in their central part 11a.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de connexion ainsi décrit est le suivant: La languette mâle 1 est introduite dans le clip 3 par l'orifice 14 (figure 2) du parallélépipède creux. Les portions lla de la paroi supérieure en deux parties 11 appuient cette languette 1 vers le bas et celle-ci appuie sur l'ergot 9 de la languette 5, ce qui fait plier cette dernière élastiquement vers le bas. Lorsque l'orifice 2 se trouve au-dessus de l'ergot 9, celui-ci pénètre dans l'orifice 2 et la languette 5 se redresse. La languette mâlelestalors élastiquement enserrée entre les parois incurvées lla et la semelle du clip 3 constituée par les rebords fixes 6 et 7 et la languette mobile 5; elle est verrouillée en position par l'ergot 9 qui fait saillie dans l'orifice 2, de sorte qu'une déconnexion accidentelle ne peut pas se produire.The operation of the connection device thus described is as follows: The male tab 1 is introduced into the clip 3 through the orifice 14 (FIG. 2) of the hollow parallelepiped. The portions lla of the upper wall in two parts 11 support this tongue 1 downwards and the latter presses on the lug 9 of the tongue 5, which causes the latter to bend elastically downwards. When the orifice 2 is located above the lug 9, the latter enters the orifice 2 and the tongue 5 straightens. The tongue is then elastically sandwiched between the curved walls 11a and the sole of the clip 3 constituted by the fixed flanges 6 and 7 and the movable tongue 5; it is locked in position by the lug 9 which projects into the orifice 2, so that an accidental disconnection cannot occur.

Pour déverrouiller la languette 1, il suffit d'exercer une traction vers le bas sur la languette 5 soit au moyen du bec 5a, soit au moyen de la petite languette 10, de façon à dégager l'ergot 9 de l'orifice 2.To unlock the tongue 1, it suffices to pull down on the tongue 5 either by means of the spout 5a, or by means of the small tongue 10, so as to release the lug 9 from the orifice 2.

Cette traction vers le bas peut être réalisée par tout moyen approprié, mais elle est de préférence exercée au moyen d'un capuchon isolant spécial représenté aux figures 7 et 8.This downward traction can be achieved by any suitable means, but it is preferably exercised by means of a special insulating cap shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.

Le capuchon représenté à ces figures est un manchon parallélépipèdique 15 en matière isolante et assez souple, du caoutchouc par exemple, qui est enfilé sur le clip 3 comme cela est représenté en traits tiretés à la figure 2.The cap shown in these figures is a parallelepiped sleeve 15 made of insulating and fairly flexible material, rubber for example, which is threaded onto the clip 3 as shown in dashed lines in FIG. 2.

La paroi supérieure du manchon 15 comporte une saillie 16 qui permet d'immobiliser le manchon 15 sur le clip 3 au voisinage de la cosse 3a et la paroi inférieure comporte une butée 17 comportant un plan incliné 17a ayant une pente correspondante ou légèrement supérieure à celle du bec 5a (50° par exemple), cette butée 17 s'étendant sur toute la largeur de la paroi inférieure du manchon 15.The upper wall of the sleeve 15 has a projection 16 which makes it possible to immobilize the sleeve 15 on the clip 3 in the vicinity of the terminal 3a and the lower wall has a stop 17 comprising an inclined plane 17a having a corresponding slope or slightly greater than that spout 5a (50 ° for example), this stop 17 extending over the entire width of the lower wall of the sleeve 15.

On voit que si l'on fait coulisser le manchon 15 vers l'arrière du clip 3, le plan incliné 17a s'engage contre le bec 5a et force la languette 5 à s'abaisser, ce qui libère la languette 1 de l'ergot 9. Le manchon 15 remplit ainsi à la fois le rôle d'un capuchon isolant pour la connexion et le rôle d'une commande de déconnexion.It can be seen that if the sleeve 15 is made to slide towards the rear of the clip 3, the inclined plane 17a engages against the spout 5a and forces the tongue 5 to lower, which releases the tongue 1 from the lug 9. The sleeve 15 thus fulfills both the role of an insulating cap for connection and the role of a disconnection control.
