Description

La présente invention vise des boîtiers de con­nexions électriques comprenant un élément mâle et un élé­ment femelle correspondant, l'un de ces organes contenant des organes de connexions électriques mâles et l'autre des organes de connexions électriques femelles correspondants.The present invention relates to electrical connection boxes comprising a male element and a corresponding female element, one of these members containing male electrical connection members and the other of the corresponding female electrical connection members.

De tels boîtiers sont très connus et couramment utilisés dans de nombreuses industries, notamment dans l'au­tomobile, l'aviation, l'électro ménager etc...Such boxes are very well known and commonly used in many industries, especially in the automobile, aviation, household appliances, etc.

En principe, l'un des éléments du boîtier sup­porte une série d'organes mâles de connexions électriques reliés à un faisceau de conducteur pour alimenter divers dispositifs électriques et l'autre élément de boîtier sup­porte une série d'organes femelles de connexions électri­ques correspondant aux organes mâles et reliés à un faisceau de conducteur pour assurer la continuité de l'alimentation électrique à partir de la source de courant jusqu'aux disposi­tifs à alimenter. Lorsque les éléments de boîtier sont assem­blés, il n'est, en principe pas, nécessaire de les désaccou­pler, toutefois, pour certaines applications les éléments de boîtier doivent pouvoir être séparés et assemblés à de nombreuses reprises, l'un étant porté par une pièce mobile par rapport à une autre pièce portant l'autre. Les pièces risquant de prendre un certain jeu il peut devenir impossible d'engager l'élément mâle dans l'élément femelle ceux-ci n'étant plus alignés.In principle, one of the housing elements supports a series of male electrical connection members connected to a conductor bundle to supply various electrical devices and the other housing element supports a series of female electrical connection members corresponding to the male organs and connected to a conductor bundle to ensure the continuity of the electrical supply from the current source to the devices to be supplied. When the housing elements are assembled, it is not in principle necessary to decouple them, however, for certain applications the housing elements must be able to be separated and assembled many times, one being carried by a part. movable relative to another part carrying the other. The parts may take a certain play it may become impossible to engage the male element in the female element these being no longer aligned.

Egalement pour des réalisations entièrement mécanisées dans lesquelles des robots assemblent les élé­ments de boîtier, il peut se produire, compte tenu des to­lérances, que les éléments de boîtier soient décalés de sorte qu'ils ne peuvent être assemblés.Also for fully mechanized embodiments in which robots assemble the housing elements, it may occur, taking into account the tolerances, that the housing elements are offset so that they cannot be assembled.

La technique antérieure montre le brevet US 4 647 129 qui décrit un connecteur comprenant un élément de boîtier femelle avec des conduits devant recevoir chacun un élément mâle, les éléments mâles étant solidaires d'une barrette qui présente à chaque extrémité des fentes dans lesquelles s'insèrent des tiges d'un support fixé à une paroi. L'écartement des tiges est supérieur à l'intervalle séparant les fonds des fentes de sorte que la barrette non seulement peut coulisser sur les tiges, mais également peut être déplacée perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal des­dites tiges. La barrette comporte deux organes élastiques pliés en épingle à cheveux et qui à leur extrémité libre comportent chacune un téton monté coulissant dans une ou­verture oblongue du suppot. Pour faciliter l'insertion des éléments mâles dans les conduits de l'élément femelle, ce dernier comporte des rampes de guidage.The prior art shows US Pat. No. 4,647,129 which describes a connector comprising a female housing element with conduits each having to receive a male element, the male elements being integral with a bar which has slots at each end in which are inserted from the rods of a support fixed to a wall. The spacing of the rods is greater than the interval separating the bottoms of the slots so that the bar not only can slide on the rods, but also can be moved perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said rods. The bar has two elastic members folded in a hairpin and which at their free end each have a stud mounted sliding in an oblong opening of the support. To facilitate the insertion of the male elements into the conduits of the female element, the latter has guide ramps.

Une telle disposition est chère car les diffé­rents éléments qui constituent le connecteur sont complexes et les débattements de la barrette sont assez limités.Such an arrangement is expensive because the various elements which constitute the connector are complex and the deflections of the bar are quite limited.

L'un des buts de la présente invention est de réaliser un boîtier de connexions électriques d'une cons­truction beaucoup moins onéreuse que celle de la technique antérieure et dans lequel l'élément mâle puisse être engagé dans l'élément femelle même si le défaut d'alignement de ceux-ci est relativement important.One of the aims of the present invention is to produce an electrical connection box of a much less expensive construction than that of the prior art and in which the male element can be engaged in the female element even if the defect of Alignment of these is relatively important.

L'élément de boîtier femelle 3 présente du côté de l'introduction de l'élément mâle 1 une jupe 20 terminée par une partie évasée 21 qui constitue un moyen de guida­ge.The female housing element 3 has on the side of the introduction of the male element 1 a skirt 20 terminated by a flared part 21 which constitutes a guide means.

L'élément mâle 1 a une forme générale parallélé­lipédique et comporte intérieurement trois barreaux 23 déter­minant des compartiments destinés à recevoir chacun un étui pourvu latéralement de languettes 26 destinées à coopé­rer avec des rainures 28 de l'élément mâle 1, des ergots 27 prévus latéralement sur les étuis et étant destinés à s'engager dans des trous 29 dudit élément mâle 1, afin d'assu­rer le verrouillage desdits étuis 25.The male element 1 has a generally parallelepiped shape and internally comprises three bars 23 determining compartments each intended to receive a case provided laterally with tongues 26 intended to cooperate with grooves 28 of the male element 1, pins 27 provided laterally on the cases and being intended to engage in holes 29 of said male element 1, in order to ensure the locking of said cases 25.

Chaque étui 25 comporte une série de canaux correspondant au nombre de canaux des étuis 11 et destinés à recevoir chacun un organe de contact électrique femelle 32 relié à un conducteur électrique 31.Each case 25 comprises a series of channels corresponding to the number of channels of the cases 11 and intended to each receive a female electrical contact member 32 connected to an electrical conductor 31.

L'élément de boîtier mâle 1 est relié à un sup­port 35, formé par un cadre sensiblement rectangulaire, par des bandes ondulées 37.The male box element 1 is connected to a support 35, formed by a substantially rectangular frame, by corrugated strips 37.

Le support 35 comporte, sur deux faces opposées, une rampe 38 terminée par un abrupt 39 et deux pattes 40 pourvues chacune d'un prolongement 41 incliné en direction de l'abrupt 39.The support 35 comprises, on two opposite faces, a ramp 38 terminated by an abrupt 39 and two legs 40 each provided with an extension 41 inclined in the direction of the abrupt 39.

L'élément de boîtier mâle 1, le support 35 et les bandes ondulées 37 sont moulés d'une seule pièce en une matière plastique électriquement isolante et présentant une certaine élasticité.The male housing element 1, the support 35 and the corrugated strips 37 are molded in one piece from an electrically insulating plastic material and having a certain elasticity.

Lorsqu'on met en place le support 35 dans l'ou­verture 2 les rampes 38 s'effacent élastiquement moyennant une déformation élastique des parois correspondantes du support, puis reviennent dans leur position initiale lors­que le plan de l'ouverture est dépassé, l'abrupt 39 pre­nant appui sur une face de l'élément mobile, tandis que les prolongements 41 portent contre l'autre face.When the support 35 is placed in the opening 2, the ramps 38 are elastically erased by means of an elastic deformation of the corresponding walls of the support, then return to their initial position when the plane of the opening is exceeded, the abrupt 39 bearing on one side of the movable element, while the extensions 41 bear against the other side.

Ls bandes 37 s'étendent entre les angles ex­térieurs de l'élément de boîtier 1 et les angles intérieurs du support 35 et du fait des ondulations qu'elles compor­tent l'élément de boîtier 1 est monté de manière à oscil­ler légèrement dans toutes les directions de sorte que, lorsqu'il est présenté en regard de l'élément femelle si il est légèrement décalé, il pourra, guidé par la partie évasée 21 se réaligner pour s'engager dans la jupe 20. On peut également réaliser l'invention en montant l'élément de boîtier femelle 3 dans un support tel que le support avec interposition des bandes élastiques ondulées 37.Ls bands 37 extend between the outer corners of the housing member 1 and the inner corners of the support 35 and due to the corrugations they comprise the housing member 1 is mounted so as to oscillate slightly in all directions so that, when presented opposite the female element if it is slightly offset, it can, guided by the flared part 21 realign to engage the skirt 20. It is also possible to carry out the invention by mounting the female housing element 3 in a support such as the support with interposition of corrugated elastic bands 37.

Aux figures 4, 5 et 6, on a représeté une va­riante de réalisation dans laquelle le boîtier de connexion comprend un élément de boîtier mâle 50 et un élément de boîtier femelle 51.In FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, an alternative embodiment has been shown in which the connection box comprises a male box element 50 and a female box element 51.

L'élément de boîtier mâle 50 comporte une série de canaux 52 dans lesquels sont logés des organes mâles 53 de connexions électriques reliés à des conducteurs et, par exemple, du même type que les organes 18, ceux-ci fai­sant saillis à l'extrémité correspondante de l'élément 50.The male housing element 50 comprises a series of channels 52 in which are housed male members 53 of electrical connections connected to conductors and, for example, of the same type as the members 18, these protruding at the end element 50.

L'élément de boîtier 50 est solidaire d'une platine 55 comportant deux doigts 56 dont les extrémités libres sont terminées par un cône 57. La platine 55 est logée dans un support 58 constitué par un cadre rectangu­laire présentant deux grands côtés 58a, 58b et deux petits côtés 58c, 58d et comportant latéralement, sur les petits côtés 58c et 58d, des rainures 59 permettant de le monter dans une fente d'un flan de tôle, par exemple, l'une des rainures comportant un ergot 60 destiné à être engagé dans un trou de la tôle pour assurer le verrouillage.The housing element 50 is integral with a plate 55 comprising two fingers 56 whose free ends are terminated by a cone 57. The plate 55 is housed in a support 58 formed by a rectangular frame having two long sides 58a, 58b and two short sides 58c, 58d and having laterally, on the short sides 58c and 58d, grooves 59 enabling it to be mounted in a slot in a sheet blank, for example, one of the grooves comprising a lug 60 intended to be engaged in a hole in the sheet to ensure locking.

Les doigts 56 sont formés par des nervures dis­posées radialement par rapport à un axe passant par la pointe du cône 57.The fingers 56 are formed by ribs arranged radially with respect to an axis passing through the tip of the cone 57.

La platine 55 est reliée au support 58 par deux bandes élastiques 61.The plate 55 is connected to the support 58 by two elastic bands 61.

Chaque bande élastique 61 affecte la forme d'un V renversé avec une aile 61a raccordée en un point intermédiaire médian de la longueur de la platine 55 et plus courte qu'une aile 61b raccordée au côté correspondant du cadre 58, les points de jonction des ailes 61b avec la face interne des côtés 58a et 58b étant décalés de manière à être plus près du petit côté 58d que du petit côté 58c.Each elastic band 61 has the shape of an inverted V with a wing 61a connected at a median intermediate point of the length of the plate 55 and shorter than a wing 61b connected to the corresponding side of the frame 58, the junction points of the wings 61b with the internal face of the sides 58a and 58b being offset so as to be closer to the short side 58d than to the short side 58c.

Grâce à ce montage, la platine 55 est montée oscillante, toutefois, il est prévu deux butées 63 et 64 situées au droit des doigts 56 pour limiter le déplacement de la platine en dehors du plan du cadre 58, ces butées étant constituées par des barreaux s'étendant entre les côtés 58a et 58b parallèlement aux petits côtés 58c et 58d.Thanks to this mounting, the plate 55 is mounted to oscillate, however, two stops 63 and 64 are provided, located at the right of the fingers 56 to limit the movement of the plate outside the plane of the frame 58, these stops being constituted by bars. extending between the sides 58a and 58b parallel to the short sides 58c and 58d.

Le support 58, la platine 55, les bandes élas­tiques 61, le doigts 56 et l'élément de boîtier mâle 50 sont réalisés en une seule pièce de matière plastique mou­lée.The support 58, the plate 55, the elastic bands 61, the fingers 56 and the male housing element 50 are made in a single piece of molded plastic.

L'élément de boîtier femelle 51 est réalisé en matière plastique moulée et présente un corps de forme générale parallélépipédique avec deux grands côtés 65 et 66 et deux petits côtés 67 et 68.The female housing element 51 is made of molded plastic and has a body of generally parallelepiped shape with two long sides 65 and 66 and two short sides 67 and 68.

La face arrière du corps présente une série de canaux 69 correspondant aux canaux 52 et destinés à con­tenir chacun un organe de connexion électrique femelle 70 relié à un conducteur souple 71, tandis que la face anté­rieure est prolongée par une jupe 72 destinée à recevoir l'élément de boîtier mâle 50.The rear face of the body has a series of channels 69 corresponding to the channels 52 and each intended to contain a female electrical connection member 70 connected to a flexible conductor 71, while the front face is extended by a skirt 72 intended to receive the male housing element 50.

Les côtés latéraux 67 et 68 comportent chacun une douille 74 percée d'un trou borgne cylindrique 75 s'ou­vrant sur la face antérieure de l'élément de boîtier 51, le trou borgne 75 ayant un diamètre permettant de recevoir le doigt 56.The lateral sides 67 and 68 each comprise a socket 74 pierced with a cylindrical blind hole 75 opening onto the front face of the housing element 51, the blind hole 75 having a diameter making it possible to receive the finger 56.

Lorsqu'on présente les deux éléments de boîtier 50 et 51, l'un en regard de l'autre pour placer l'élément mâle 50 dans la jupe 72, les pointes des cônes 57 qui sont en saillies par rapport audit élément 50 viennent coopé­rer avec le bord de l'ouverture des trous borgnes 75 et assurent l'alignement des deux éléments de boîtier qui peuvent ainsi être introduits l'un dans l'autre. Les doigts 56 sont portés par la platine 55 solidaire de l'élément de boîtier mâle 50 et les douilles 74 par l'élément de boîtier femelle 51, on pourrait parfaitement prévoir un montage différent, par exemple, les douilles 74 sur l'élément de boîtier mâle 50 et les doigts sur l'élément de boîtier femelle 51 ou encore un doigt 56 et une douille 74 sur l'élément de boîtier mâle 50 et un doigt 56 et une douille 74 sur l'élément de boîtier femelle 51.When the two housing elements 50 and 51 are presented, one facing the other to place the male element 50 in the skirt 72, the tips of the cones 57 which are projecting relative to said element 50 come to cooperate with the edge of the opening of the blind holes 75 and ensure the alignment of the two housing elements which can thus be inserted one into the other. The fingers 56 are carried by the plate 55 secured to the male housing element 50 and the sockets 74 by the female housing element 51, one could perfectly provide a different mounting, for example, the sockets 74 on the element male housing 50 and the fingers on the female housing element 51 or else a finger 56 and a socket 74 on the male housing element 50 and a finger 56 and a socket 74 on the female housing element 51.

On pourrait prévoir que l'élément de boîtier femelle 51 es monté dans un support 58 avec interposition des bandes élastiques ondulées 61, l'élément de boîtier mâle 50 étant ou non dans un support 58.Provision could be made for the female housing element 51 to be mounted in a support 58 with the interposition of corrugated elastic bands 61, the male housing element 50 being or not in a support 58.

A la figure 7, on a représenté une variante de réalisation de l'invention dans laquelle l'élément de boîtier mâle 80 est constitué par un organe indépendant avec des canaux 81 dans lesquels sont logés des organes mâles 82 de connexions électriques.In Figure 7, there is shown an alternative embodiment of the invention in which the male housing element 80 is constituted by an independent member with channels 81 in which are housed male members 82 of electrical connections.

Sur cette figure, on n'a pas représenté l'élé­ment de boîtier femelle qui correspond à l'élément 51 de la figure 4.In this figure, the female housing element which corresponds to element 51 of FIG. 4 has not been shown.

L'élément 80 est destiné à être fixé sur un support 90 du même type que le support 58 (figure 4) et qui est pourvu de deux bandes élastiques 91 reliées à une platine 92 pourvue de doigts 93.The element 80 is intended to be fixed on a support 90 of the same type as the support 58 (FIG. 4) and which is provided with two elastic bands 91 connected to a plate 92 provided with fingers 93.

La platine 92 comporte une ouverture centrale 94 avec, sur deux côtés opposés des perforations 95 desti­nées à recevoir des ergots 96 correspondant de l'élément 80. Ainsi, moyennant une légère déformation élastique de la platine 92, on peut solidariser cette dernière et l'élé­ment 80.The plate 92 has a central opening 94 with, on two opposite sides, perforations 95 intended to receive lugs 96 corresponding to the element 80. Thus, by means of a slight elastic deformation of the plate 92, the latter can be secured to the element 80.

On peut ainsi en partant du même support 90 et de la même platine 92 monter des éléments de boîtier mâle 80 ayant la même forme extérieure, mais présentant des aménagements différents, par exemple des canaux plus grands ou plus petits, en plus grand nombre, ou au contrai­re en nombre inférieur, etc...It is thus possible, starting from the same support 90 and the same plate 92, to mount male box elements 80 having the same external shape, but having different arrangements, for example larger or smaller channels, in greater number, or on the contrary in lower number, etc ...

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits et représentés. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifica­tions de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described and shown. Many modifications of detail can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
