Definitions

  • This invention relates to electrical connectoxs.
  • the invention relates to circular, umbilical electrical connectors having rapid mating/unmating, locking/unlocking characteristics, especially to such connectors capable of lanyard release.
  • a typical quick release trigger is provided by a wire loop, referred to as a lanyard. It is desirable to provide both lockup means to ensure maintenance of electrical mating and quick release (disengagement) means for separation of the plug portion from the receptacle portion.
  • Illustrative of prior art answers to lanyard release connectors are United States of America Patents Nos. 3,119,645; 3,848,950; and 4,083,619.
  • the invention is directed to a lanyard release umbilical electrical connector possessing lockup means to ensure maintenance of electrical circuit mating and a quick release means for both lockup and mated conditions, preferably by a lanyard trigger means.
  • the invention applies to circular electrical connectors having mating/unmating capability of the sets of electrical contacts.
  • the receptacle means section of the connector of the instant invention includes a receptacle shell provided with a receptacle barrel, having a nose portion and a set of electrical contacts.
  • the barrel is provided with a plurality of keys, positioned circumferentially on the exterior surface of the barrel. Each of the keys is squared at the end farthest from the nose of the barrel; each of the squared ends is located on a common circumference around the barrel.
  • the plug means section of the connector of the instant invention includes a set of electrical contacts, and a plug shell comprising (a) a collet, (b) a coupling ring means, and (c) a detent shell.
  • the receptacle contacts and the plug contacts are capable of mating/unmating to complete/to break and this mating/unmating is accomplished by a to and fro (back and forth) movement of the plug means on an axis common to the receptacle axis.
  • the mating/unmating action is carried out by an axial movement imparted by cammed rotational movement of the plug shell. Desirably such cammed rotational movement is imparted by a high pitch thread element included in the plug section. Such rotational movement involves substantially less than one rotation.
  • the axial movement not only mates the two sets of electrical contacts but also locks the plug section to the receptacle section. This lockup takes place through cooperation of the receptacle barrel keys and the collet member of the plug means.
  • the collet has a ring member with a flange-lip extending radially inward (toward the centre of the ring member); the ring member terminates in a base.
  • the flange-lip has an internal diameter closely smaller than the outside diameter of the keys.
  • the collet is mounted in the plug section so that the flange-lip faces the keys on the receptacle barrel. Keyways are cut into the end of the flange-lip to match the keys on the barrel.
  • the collet is divided (cut) into a plurality of circumferential length (arc lengths) these circumferential lengths are completely separate from one another.
  • plural includes two arc lengths. Desirably at least three circumferential lengths are present.
  • the coupling ring means has a ring opening portion large enough in diameter to closely enclose the collet base.
  • the coupling ring means includes a resilient means permitting pull back of the coupling ring means.
  • the resilient means is a spring and a rod member support therefor.
  • the detent shell has an element for contacting the resilient means of the coupling ring means. Also the detent shell has a nose portion, desirably of a substantially conical shape, for cooperating in decreasing the diameter of the flange-lip as the coupling ring is advanced axially against the ring member of the collet during the mating/locking action.
  • the connector of this invention includes a quick release trigger means for activating the unlocking/unmating action by pulling the coupling ring means backward, away from the receptacle.
  • the separate circumferential lengths of the collet move in rocker motion under the influence of the coupling ring means and the detent shell nose.
  • the collet keyways engage the keys of the receptacle barrel and the flange-lip advances to a plane even with squared ends of the keys.
  • Continuation of the axial and rotational movement causes the flange-lip to rotate far enough to permit each of the lands between the keyways to move into contiguous relation with one of the squared ends of the keys.
  • the forces acting on the collet ring member impart a rocker motion to each circumferential length of the collet. This rocker motion lifts the base and causes an appreciable decrease in diameter of the flange-lip, thereby the flange-lip is brought into a friction-locked, abutted relation with the squared ends of the keys.
  • the quick release means causes an axial movement of the plug section away from the receptacle section.
  • the coupling ring is forcefully separated from its contact with the side of the ring member of the collet; rocker motion is imparted to the collet circumferential lengths, causing the flange-lip to assume a diameter larger than that of the keys, thereby unlocking the plug section from the receptacle section.
  • Axial movement continues causing the plug section to unmate from the receptacle section.
  • Trigger means other than a lanyard, may be used, for example, a stripper plate.
  • Figs. 1-2 show one form of receptacle means (section) 20 which is suitable for mounting on a surface, such as an aircraft skin.
  • receptacle means 20 includes a receptacle shell 22 which receptacle shell 22 is provided with a mounting flange 24; a threaded portion 26 to.which a back shell, not shown, can be mounted and admit into receptacle means 20 an electrical cable, not shown, whose wire are joined to retainers within receptacle means 20; a barrel 28 which projects outwardly from mounting flange 24 and termintes in nose 29.
  • Receptacle means 20 and plug means 60 are desirably polarised so that they can mate in only one unique orientation.
  • polarisation is obtained by the circumferential exterior surface of receptacle barrel 28 with a plurality of keys 30, 32, et seq. (Hereinafter the use of the plural indicates that "et seq" is to be understood.)
  • Each of keys 30 has the end farthest from the nose 29 of barrel 28 squared and each of the squared ends 36 is located on a common circumference around barrel 28, that is, for each of keys 30 the distance from the squared end 36 to the nose 29 is the same as any other-key.
  • each key above the exterior surface of barrel 28 need not be exactly the same; however, it is desirable that all keys 30 have the same height, that is, the upper surface of each key lies on the same diameter, taken from the long axis of receptacle shell 22.
  • the keys 30 vary in width and pre desirably asymmetrically distributed on the exterior surface of barrel 28 to all the mating of receptacle shell 22 and plug means 60 (Fig. 3) in one unique position.
  • Fig. 1 shows one manner in which electrical contact pins are placed and secured in receptacle shell 22.
  • Front pin insert 40 and rear pin socket insert 42 receive electrical contact pin 44 and contact pin retainer 46 respectively.
  • These inserts 40 and 42 are made, typically, from rigid plastic insulator (dielectric) material, such, thermoset phenolic resin.
  • a grommet seal 48 prevents dirt, dust, water, etc from entering the interior of the connector by way of the receptacle rear end.
  • Grommet seal 48 is typically made from an elastometer, such as a silicone rubber.
  • a conductive metal insert retaining ring 50 helps hold these members together when assembled.
  • a plastic plug 52 closes and seals channel 54 in grommet 48.
  • An elastomeric interface seal 56 is positioned on the outside face of the pin insert 40; this seal 56 grips the pins very tightly to ensure a seal.
  • the channels in the aforesaid inserts demonstrate that more than one contact pin is to be used in this connector.
  • Individual electrical wires are brought into receptacle . shell 22 from its rear end and are squeezed fitted into the sockets 42 by a conventual procedure.
  • a detailed presentation of the function and material of construction of each of the aforesaid members shown in Fig. 1 is presented in U.S. Patent No. 3,848,950.
  • Figs. 3 to 6 show the plug means 60 (plug section) of the electrical connector of the invention.
  • Fig. 3 shows three members which are primarily directed to the quick release (unlocking) of the locked/mated electrical connector.
  • Collet 64 has a flange-lip 66 extending radially inward.
  • Flange - lip 66 has a number of keyways 70, 72, 74, 76 and 78, respectively. These keyways 70 correspond to keys 30 on receptacle barrel 28 (Fig 2).
  • Lands 80, 82, 84, 86 and 88 are located between aforesaid keys 70.
  • Flange-lip 66 when in one piece, has an internal diameter, measured across two opposing lands, closely smaller than the outside diameter of aforesaid keys 30. Desirably the diameter is about the same as the outside diameter of barrel 28 (Fig. 2).
  • Collet 64 contains three slots 90, 90', and 90", intersecting flange-lip 66 and collet ring member 92.
  • Ring member 92 terminates in base 94. Cut into base 94 and up into side 98 of ring member 92 three notch-slots 96, 96' and 96''.
  • Ring member 92 is shaped to move in rocker motion in response to force applied to side 98 and/or base 94.
  • the rocker motion is enhanced by having side 98 shaped roughly like one-half of an expanded offset U-turn, or a numeral "2" with a roughly flat top.
  • the height of collet 64 measured vertically from base 94 to flange -lip 66, is such that the lands 80 overlap the squared ends 36.
  • Collet 64 is divided (cut) into a plurality of circumferential lengths (arc lengths). At least three arc lengths 102, 102', and 102" are desirable. Each circumferential length 102 is designed to move in rocker motion under the influence of force applied to or removed from ring member 92 especially to side 98. This rocker motion permits the diameter of the flange-lip, as measured at the lands thereon, to range from the outside diameter of barrel 28 (Fig. 2) to appreciably larger than the outside diameter of keys 30.
  • a pin may optically be placed in detent shell 134, as shown in Figs. 7 to 9, to be loosely enclosed by collet slots 90, et seq, when more stability of collet arc lengths 102 is desired.
  • a coupling ring means 110 is provided with a ring opening portion 114 closely larger in diameter than collet base 94 but not large enough to enclose side 98.
  • Collet base 94 fits loosely in annular groove 116 cut in the interior side of coupling ring shell 118.
  • Coupling ring opening 114 affords a truncated outwardly directed conical element 115 at the end of the coupling ring which faces receptacle means 20.
  • Coupling ring 110 includes a resilient means 120; herein resilient means 120 comprises a helical spring 122, a rod member support and quide therefor 124, which rod member 124 is fixed at one end to annular member 126 positioned inside of ring shell 118 and slidably fitted into a channel in detent shell 134.
  • resilient means 120 comprises a helical spring 122, a rod member support and quide therefor 124, which rod member 124 is fixed at one end to annular member 126 positioned inside of ring shell 118 and slidably fitted into a channel in detent shell 134.
  • a sufficient number of resilient means is provided to have one or more for each collet circumferential length 102.
  • a circular detent shell 134 is provided with elements 138, 138', 138" whose purpose is to contact resilient means 120.
  • rod members 124 enter into channels 140 where the corresponding end of helical springs 122 is restrained by the walls 139 surrounding channels 140.
  • detent shell 134 moves towards coupling ring 110 and collet 64, helical springs 122 are compressed between wall 139, surrounding channel 140, and annular member 126.
  • a nut not shown here but see Figs 7 to 9, terminates rod 124 at wall 139 end.
  • Detent shell 134 has a nose portion 144 projecting toward coupling ring 110.
  • This nose portion 144 cooperates with ring opening 114 and portion 115 to impart rocker motion to collet arc lengths 102 as the coupling ring 110 is advanced against side 98 to collet 64 along with nose portion 144 contacting the back side of flange-lip 66.
  • nose portion 144 terminat in a substantially conical shape 146.
  • the imparted rocker motion decreases the diameter of the flange-lip 66 as the coupling ring 110 moves toward receptacle shall 22 (Fig. 2) during mating/locking action of the connector, causing flange-lip 66 to lock against squared ends 36 of keys 30 in abutting relation.
  • Detent shell 134 is provided with a plurality of keys 148, 148' et seq on the inside wall thereof, and an annular groove 149.
  • coupling ring 110 is provided with a quick release trigger means 150 comprising support ring 152 located near end 153 of ring shell 118 and a member 154 rotatably positioned in an annular groove 156 cut into the outer surface of coupling ring 110 near end 153.
  • Attached to member 154 is a srong, flexible wire, lanyard 158; only two portions of the lanyard cxable are shown.
  • a pull of lanyard 158 in the direction away from the receptacle section of the lockedup connector moves coupling ring 110 back from receptacle section as helical springs 122 are compressed, axial movement space.
  • the forceful pull of the coupling ring causes the outwardly directed conical element 155 to withdraw from contact with collet side 98 and with the helper detent nose 144, imparts rocker motion to the collet circumferential lengths 102, which rocker motion enlarges the diameter of the flange-lip 66 enough to permit the flange-lip to pass over keys 30, unlocking the receptacle section 20 from plug section 60 and an instant later causing unmating as the axial withdrawal movement continues.
  • FIGs. 4 to 6 show conventional parts of electrical connectors usable with the inventive contribution of the instant application.
  • a pair of spring detent means 160 each of which is of arcuate configuration and has an internal key 162 midway the ends of the detent spring means 160. Key 162 is loosely engageable and slidable in a keyway 174 on the outer surface 172 of a plug housing 170.
  • Detent spring means 160 in combination with a groove in the detent shell 134 surface, first and second sets of detent spring recesses, not shown to eliminate clutter, emit a distinct snap or click when the electrical connections of the receptacle and the plug are full mated and the two shells are locked.
  • plug housing 170 has an outer surface 172, one end having a keyway 174 and the other end 176, shown herein as threaded to receive a cover shell, not shown, for electrical cable, not shown.
  • Shield 180 is mounted on an inner annular rib 184 of plug housing 170 and includes a plurality of circularly arranged resilient folded fingers 182 adapted to slidably and electrically contact the outer surface of receptacle barrel 28 (Fig. 2).
  • Shield 180 is so constructed and formed that when installed the interior of plug housing 170 the spaces or windows between adjacent edges of fingers 182 are minimal in width.
  • the shield 180 may be secured as by suitable electrically conductive bonding to annular rib 184.

  • the interior surface 178 of plug housing 170 includes an elastomeric 0-ring 186 positioned in annular groove 188.
  • O-ring 186 is suitably made of silicone rubber. The O-ring helps prevent water and the like undesirables from getting into the interior of plug housing 170.
  • Axial movement for mating/unmating and locking said two sets of electrical contacts is imparted by cammed rotational movement of said plug shell, desirably of substantially less than one rotation.
  • a set of threads 190 is positioned on the outer surface 172 of plug housing 170. These threads have a high pitch, that is, the length axial movement is very large for a small amount of rotation. The pitch of these threads is large enough to move the plug means 60 between the fully retracted position and the fully extended position when the plug housing 170 is rotated through substantially less than one rotation. Desirably this rotation is only a small fraction of a turn, such as, one-third of a turn. It is desirable for these threads to be of the square or acme variety. There should be an axial clearance between the thread mating surfaces to allow a limited degree of "float" in the connector, which "float” aids in maintaining the fully compressed state of the various seals in the connector.
  • coupling nut 200 is provided on its interior surface with a set of threads 202, complementary to threads 190.
  • coupling nut 200 is provided with a plurality of keys 204, et seq, which keys are complementary to keys 148, et seq on the interior of detent housing 134 (Fig. 3).

  • Rod member 124 surrounded by helical spring 122, extends beyond detent shell 134 and is held at the desired length by nut 125. It is evident that the collet circumferential lengths have been rocked bringing the end of flange-lip 66 into frictional locking contact with the squared end 36' of keylip 31. Collet base 94 is as far from the outer surface of detent shell 134 as the undercut in the inner surface of coupling ring 110 allows, causing the locking contact of collet flange-lip 66 and squared end 36' of keylip 31.
