Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electronic module pluggable onto a bus connector. This invention applies to the rapid interconnection of electronic modules, as well as to the interconnection of these modules with external devices or circuits.
  • an electronic module pluggable onto a bus connector secured to a support base comprises at least one printed circuit board equipped with electrical and / or electronic components, housed in a case adaptable to the support base.
  • This electronic module also includes a means of connecting the card with the bus connector, as well as an auxiliary connector for connecting the circuit of the card with a device or circuit by external wiring.
  • An electronic module of this type is for example described in French Patent No. 2,507,395.
  • the case containing the printed circuit card is composed of two separable parts which are assembled during the electrical connection of the card with the auxiliary connector.
  • the bus connector is simply constituted by a connection strip integral with the support base, while the means of connection of the card with the bus connector, consists of another connection strip ' which is assembled with that of the bus connector.
  • the bus connector consisting of a connection strip
  • the plug-in module or modules that it is desired to connect with the bus definitively occupy predetermined positions relative to the support base.
  • the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and in particular to produce an electronic module pluggable on a bus connector by which it is possible, very simply and very quickly, to change one or more modules of predetermined dimensions, plugged into the bus connector, by one or more other modules of different dimensions, without the arrangement of the bus connectors making this change impossible.
  • a bus connector comprising parallel conductive bars located inside an elongated U-shaped element, on which are fixed very quickly, the boxes containing the circuit boards. printed and constituting the modules.
  • the housing comprises means engaging in each groove to make this housing and the bus support base integral.
  • the means making the housing and the support unit integral are elastic tongues integral with the housing and profiled to engage in each of said grooves.
  • the module further comprises means for supporting and guiding the card in the case, these means themselves being guided and supported by the case and moving aside said tabs so that they engage in the grooves.
  • the means of connection of the card with the bus connector is a strip of connectors acting by pinching the conductive bars of the bus.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically and in perspective, an electronic module 1 according to the invention, pluggable on a bus connector 2, secured to a support base 3.
  • This electronic module comprises at least one printed circuit board 4, equipped with components electronic and / or electrical, which are not shown in detail in the figure.
  • This card is housed in a case 5, metallic for example, which adapts as will be seen below in detail, to the support base 3.
  • This module also includes a means 6 for connecting the circuit of the card 4 with the connector bus 2.
  • This means 6 can for example be a connector strip 7, acting by pinching the bus connector 2 constituted by parallel conducting bars, isolated from each other and isolated from the support base 3.
  • the isolation means have not been shown in detail in this figure.
  • This module finally comprises an auxiliary connector 8 for connecting the circuit of the card 4 with external wiring which is not shown in this figure.
  • This auxiliary connector 8 can be constituted for example by a connection strip 9 with plugs 10, of the male type, coming to cooperate with plugs 11, of the female type, of another strip 12.
  • the strip 9 is integral with the card 4 , while the bar 12 is secured for example to the housing 5 or a drawer 22 which will be described later.
  • the plugs 11 of the bar 12 are connected to the plugs 13, of the female type, making it possible to connect the circuit of the card 4 with external wiring, which is not shown in the figure.
  • the support base 3 of the bus connector 2 is an elongated U-shaped element.
  • the parallel conductive bars 2 of the bus connector are located at the bottom of the U of this profiled element.
  • the two wings 14, of the profiled element 3 each include towards the inside of the U, a groove which is parallel to the bottom of this profiled element. These grooves are shown at 16, 17 in the figure.
  • the case 1 comprises means engaging in the grooves 16, 17 to make this box integral with the bus support base 3.
  • These means are here constituted by elastic tongues 18, 19 which are profiled to engage in each of the grooves corresponding. At rest, these tongues are set back, inside the housing, as shown in 20, 21 and on the enlarged part of FIG. 1.
  • tongues are pushed back, when the module is put in place by means 22 playing the role of drawer containing the card 4.
  • These means 22 are guided and supported by the housing 5 and come, when they are engaged in this housing, separate the tabs 18, 19, so that these take place in the grooves 16, 17.
  • the means 22 which slide in the housing 5 make it possible to support and guide the card 4, as will be seen below in detail.
  • One of the tongues is shown in more detail at 23.
  • the means 22 which act as a sliding drawer in the case 5 and which contain the card 4, can be constituted for example in an insulating material.
  • the busbars of the bus connector 2 make it possible to connect the module which is shown in the figure, to other modules, or to external electrical or electronic means 24 which make it possible for example to supply these modules with electrical energy or to send information signals to these modules, or to receive information signals from these modules.
  • This figure also shows electrical and / or electronic means 25 exchanging signals with the module 1, via the auxiliary connector 8. It is assumed in this figure that a cover 36 which is not shown in detail in the figure, is secured to the housing 5. This cover closes the housing 5. In the figure the module is shown in the position not fully inserted. The insertion of the parts 7 onto the parts 2 is effected by exerting a push along the arrow A on the cover 36.
  • FIG. 2 schematically represents a front view of the module 1, according to the arrow A in FIG. 1, the cover 36 being assumed to be removed.
  • the same elements have the same references in this figure and in FIG. 1.
  • the auxiliary connector 8 which makes it possible to connect the card 5 with external wiring, as well as the connection means 6 of the card with the bars.
  • conductive of the bus conductor 2 these bars being integral with and isolated from the support base 3; there are also the grooves 16, 17 in which the elastic tongues 18, 19, 23, 26 of the casing 5 engage, when the drawer 22 supporting and guiding the card 4, is put in place in the case.
  • the different modules are mounted against each other, along the support base. Also shown in this figure are the female type plugs 13 for connecting the card 4 with external wiring.
  • the module which has just been described makes it possible to achieve the goals mentioned above. It allows in particular to connect to a bus connector, modules having different dimensions, or to change certain modules in a module assembly, very simply, since each module can circulate in the support base 2 to occupy any which position along the bus connector.
