Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a method of assembling paired elements of electrical connectors, each connector element consisting of an insulating body carrying at least one row of plugs or sockets to which respectively sockets and plugs on an element of homologous connector.
  • the method described in this patent has various drawbacks, including the need to provide two types of connecting members (stapling members and frames), the impossibility of assembling elements of connector two by two in their longitudinal direction, that is to say in that of the rows of plugs or sockets, and of introducing, between plugs or sockets arranged in the same row but on different connector elements, spaces dead of imprecise length which hardly allow to respect precise steps or spacings between the plugs or sockets of such a row.
  • the invention aims to eliminate the drawbacks of this known method. It also aims to allow a number of electrical connector elements to be assembled in such a way that the pitch between the plugs or sockets is automatically respected. It also aims to provide a method which easily adapts to electrical connector elements of different lengths.
  • the process according to the invention is essentially characterized in that, on the one hand, metal profiles in the shape of a solid bottom, of indefinite length, are produced, having, on each of the inner faces of the wings of the U, at least one continuous longitudinal groove (or rib) and, on the other hand, connector elements whose insulating body has a length adapted to the chosen application and externally has a transverse profile adapted to the internal profile of the U-shaped profiles, with in particular, on each of its lateral faces, at least one longitudinal rib (or groove) whose position and dimensions correspond respectively to those of the grooves (or ribs) of the U-shaped profiles; these sections are cut into sections of appropriate length for the assembly to be produced; windows at the bottom of the U-shaped section are housed whose lengths correspond respectively to those of the insulating bodies of the corresponding connector elements; and each insulating body is introduced into the section of section by slightly spreading the wings apart until the insulating body center in that of said windows which is assigned to it and that the rib
  • U-shaped metal profiles are produced having, on their bottom, an auxiliary longitudinal wing opposite the wings of the U and, during the production of the abovementioned windows, this auxiliary longitudinal wing is machined so as to leave only the fixing lugs for printed circuit boards and / or for thermal drains.
  • this auxiliary longitudinal wing is machined so as to leave only the fixing lugs for printed circuit boards and / or for thermal drains.
  • the above windows are cleaned so as to leave transverse bars which have the advantage of keeping the wings of the U-profile at a constant spacing and preventing them from spreading, which would have the effect of allowing the elements connector to escape.
  • transverse bars of relatively large width preferably in extreme bars, advantageously household holes for fixing centering and / or polarizing bodies, arranged inside the profile like the connector elements but of significantly shorter length than these.
  • the invention also relates to the means for the implementation of this process, that is to say the above-mentioned sections as well as the other elements described in detail in the additional description which follows and which refers to the accompanying drawings. .
  • the problem to be solved by the present invention is to assemble end to end connector elements such as 1, 2 and 3, each of these connector elements consisting of an insulating body 4 carrying a row of plugs 5 or sockets 6 which correspond respectively to sockets 6 and plugs 5 on a homologous connector element.
  • FIG. 2 does not show the connector elements homologous respectively to the connector elements 1, 2 and 3.
  • the connector element 1 has been represented as carrying both plugs 5 and sockets 6, it is preferable that the connector elements only carry sockets 6, like connector elements 2 and 3, or that plugs 5 and that the connector elements carrying only sockets are placed end to end, opposite connector elements bearing only plugs, for the reasons explained below.
  • the plugs and sockets of the same connector element can have different transverse dimensions provided that they are separated by the same pitch or a multiple of this pitch.
  • metal profiles such as that designated by 7 in FIG. 1 and on the other hand, the insulating bodies 4 are adapted to the internal shape of these metal profiles.
  • rectilinear metal profiles are produced, preferably by drawing in a die. 7 in U having a solid bottom 8 and two wings 9 adjoining this bottom 8.
  • the section 7 has a continuous longitudinal groove 10.
  • the insulating bodies 4 are given a profile which is adapted to the internal profile of the profile 7 with in particular two lateral longitudinal ribs 11 (FIG. 2) whose position and dimensions correspond respectively to those of the grooves 10 of the profile 7.
  • Windows 12 are then cut from section 7 of length appropriate to the assembly to be produced, and windows or openings 13 are formed in the bottom 8 of section 7, the lengths of which correspond respectively to those of the insulating bodies 4 of the connector elements 1 , 2 or 3 correspondents, thus leaving, from place to place, bars 14 which maintain the wings 9 at a constant spacing, as will be explained below.
  • Each insulating body 4 is then introduced into the profile section 12 by slightly spacing the wings 9, as shown diagrammatically by arrows F in FIG. 2, until the insulating body 4 is centered in that of the windows 13 which is attached to it. assigned and that the ribs 11 penetrate into the grooves 10 (see Figure 3).
  • the momentary spacing of the wings 9 can be done automatically thanks to the presence of the beveled faces 39.
  • the wings 9 then return to their initial position (by a displacement of direction opposite to that of the arrows F) by trapping the insulating body 4 at a perfectly defined position in relation to profile section 12.
  • the connector elements such as 1, 2 and 3 are preferably arranged and grouped in such a way that all the sockets 6 are arranged on the same section of profile, such as the section of lower section designated by 12 in FIGS. 2 and 3, and that all of the plugs 5 are arranged on the same section of section, such as the upper section of section designated by 15 in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • auxiliary wings 16 which, before assembly of the two male and female connector elements (FIG. 2), protected these plugs 5 necessarily projecting from their insulating body 4, facilitate, during this assembly, the centering of the two sections of profile 12, 15 between them, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the longitudinal positioning of the insulating bodies 4 can be ensured by at least two blocks 17 and 18 which are preferably fixed to the ends of the profile sections such as 12 and 15. To make the drawing clearer, one of the two blocks 17 and 18 has been reversed in Figure 2 with respect to the position it actually occupies, relative to the corresponding section of section. These blocks 17 and 18 each end, for example, by a threaded rod 19 intended to be engaged in a hole 20 formed in an end bar 14a, which is generally enlarged relative to the intermediate bars 14. These threaded rods 19 allow the blocks 17 and 18 to be fixed to the end bars 14a using nuts (not shown).
  • the blocks 17 and 18 are provided with positioning members and / or polarizing male 21 and female 22 intended to interpenetrate when the male half-connectors (or higher in FIGS. 2 and 3) and female (or lower) are oriented appropriately relative to each other.
  • Each block 17 or 18 can be produced by overmolding plastic material on a low-cut metal part comprising both the threaded rod 19 and the positioning member 21 or 22.
  • the intermediate bars 14 are advantageously provided, on their rear face, with recesses 23.
  • the bars 14 serve to support the recesses 23 of the insulating bodies 4 of the connector elements such as 1, 2 and 3.
  • FIG. 4 shows how the plugs 5 or sockets 6 of a half-connector, such as that shown at the bottom of FIGS. 2 and 3, can be connected either to the conductive tracks of a motherboard of printed circuits 24 by the intermediate of outputs 25 to be soldered on the tracks of this card or of outputs 26 intended to receive a conductor by winding, or, by crossing openings 27 formed in a metal frame 28 at a distance, to external conductors by means of outputs to be welded 29.
  • the starting profile, designated in FIG. 8 by 32 is advantageously produced with a longitudinal wing 33, projecting from the bottom 8 opposite the side wings 9, the shape of the profile 32 being also identical for example to that of the profile 7 of Figure 1.
  • the longitudinal wing 33 is part of a profile 36 whose shape is, apart from that, identical to that of the section which gives rise to the section of section 12 in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the longitudinal wing 33 leaves at least two tabs 34 (FIG. 10) serving to fix the aforesaid printed circuit board 31 (in ceramic, for example ), either directly (FIG. 5), or via a metal heat sink 35 (FIG. 7), carrying one or (as shown) two such cards 31.
  • the wing 33 that is to say the legs 34, can be located in the center of the bottom 8 ( Figures 5 and 8 to 10) or, preferably, be offset laterally ( Figure 6) to allow place the heat sink 35 and / or the printed circuit board (s) 31 symmetrically with respect to the half-connector.
  • FIG. 6 also shows how contact elements 37, connected respectively to the plugs 5 or sockets 6 of a half-connector and passing through the windows 13, can be connected by brazing at 38 to the tracks 30 of the card or cards. printed circuits 31.
  • the profiles used according to the invention can be manufactured without difficulty by drawing into a die, in lengths between 5 and 6 meters, and that the machining of these profiles can also be easily done on CNC milling machines. It should also be emphasized that it is possible, in the context of the invention, to dismantle one of the connector elements after installation in a section of section, by spacing the wings 9 of the U-shaped section.
