Abstract

The subject of the present invention is a connector cap for linkage between an electrical cable and an elbowed high-voltage output shaft (1; 20; 35, 35') of an ignition device (2; 19). To that end, it includes locking means (8; 14; 22; 31; 32) for locking it counter to a movement in a direction parallel to the cable axis.

Description

La présente invention concerne une coiffe de connecteur de liaison entre un câble électrique et une cheminée coudée de sortie haute tension d'un organe d'allumage.The present invention relates to a connector connector cap between an electric cable and a bent chimney of high voltage outlet of an ignition member.

On sait que les ratés d'allumage sont à proscrire dans les moteurs à combustion interne utilisant un pot d'échappement catalytique. En effet, dans un tel cas l'essence se trouvant dans le cylindre est directement envoyée dans le pot d'échappement qu'elle endommage rapidement.We know that misfires are to be avoided in internal combustion engines using a catalytic converter. Indeed, in such a case the gasoline in the cylinder is directly sent into the exhaust pipe which it quickly damages.

Il est par conséquent essentiel d'assurer la continuité électrique du circuit d'alimentation de la bougie, c'est-à-dire du circuit haute tension entre la sortie de l'organe d'allumage, bobine, allumeur ou distributeur, et cette bougie. Ce circuit électrique est constitué d'un câble haute tension dont une extrémité est montée sur la bougie et l'autre extrémité sur la cheminée haute tension de l'organe d'allumage.It is therefore essential to ensure electrical continuity of the spark plug supply circuit, that is to say of the high voltage circuit between the output of the ignition member, coil, igniter or distributor, and this candle. This electrical circuit consists of a high voltage cable, one end of which is mounted on the spark plug and the other end of the high voltage chimney of the ignition member.

Une déconnexion du câble de la cheminée haute tension peut se produire soit du fait d'une mise en place défectueuse, par exemple lors d'une opération de maintenance, soit du fait des secousses ou vibrations se produisant normalement lors de l'utilisation du moteur sur lequel est monté l'organe d'allumage.A disconnection of the cable from the high-voltage chimney can occur either due to a faulty installation, for example during a maintenance operation, or due to the tremors or vibrations normally occurring when the engine is used on which is mounted the ignition member.

On a déjà proposé des solutions à ce problème dans le cas de cheminées haute tension droites. Dans ces solutions, on utilise un organe de connexion intermédiaire entre le câble et la cheminée. Cet organe se présente sous la forme d'une galette dans le plan de laquelle est raccordé le câble haute tension. Cette galette est connectée à l'organe d'allumage par encliquetage dans une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe du câble.Solutions to this problem have already been proposed in the case of straight high-voltage chimneys. In these solutions, an intermediate connection member is used between the cable and the chimney. This member is in the form of a wafer in the plane of which is connected the high voltage cable. This wafer is connected to the ignition member by latching in a direction perpendicular to the cable axis.

Cet organe intermédiaire présente toutefois l'inconvénient d'être onéreux. En outre, cette solution n'est pas applicable dans le cas de cheminées haute tension coudées.However, this intermediate member has the disadvantage of being expensive. In addition, this solution is not applicable in the case of bent high-voltage chimneys.

On a également proposé, dans le document GB-A-1 205 573, à la place de la galette précitée, un raccord coudé à angle droit, comprenant un insert métallique lui-même coudé, fixé au câble à une de ses extrémités et agencée pour être monté sur la cheminée à son autre extrémité, et fixé en place par un collier. Cet agencement présente les mêmes inconvénients que les dispositifs galettes.GB-A-1 205 573 has also proposed, in place of the aforementioned wafer, a right angle elbow fitting, comprising a metal insert itself elbow, fixed to the cable at one of its ends and arranged to be mounted on the chimney at its other end, and fixed in place by a collar. This arrangement has the same disadvantages as wafer devices.

La présente invention vise à palier ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks.

A cet effet l'invention a pour objet une coiffe selon les revendications 1 et 7, de connecteur de liaison entre un câble électrique et une cheminée coudée de sortie haute tension d'un organe d'allumage.To this end, the subject of the invention is a cap according to claims 1 and 7, of connector for connection between an electric cable and a bent chimney of high voltage outlet of an ignition member.

Cette coiffe présente l'avantage de pouvoir être réalisée très simplement d'une seule pièce avec ses moyens de verrouillage.This cap has the advantage of being able to be produced very simply in one piece with its locking means.

Elle est par conséquent maintenue directement par la cheminée haute tension quel que soit la configuration de cette dernière par rapport à d'éventuelles autres cheminées.It is therefore held directly by the high-voltage chimney whatever the configuration of the latter compared to any other chimneys.

Le rabat peut comporter un renfoncement apte à recevoir une aspérité d'accrochage formé à la surface de la cheminée.The flap may include a recess capable of receiving a hooking roughness formed on the surface of the chimney.

Une languette de traction peut-être prévue du côté de la coiffe opposée à la sortie du câble pour la mise en place du rabat derrière la surface de butée de la cheminée.A pull tab may be provided on the side of the cover opposite the cable outlet for the installation of the flap behind the abutment surface of the chimney.

Dans le cas où plusieurs cheminées de sortie haute tension sont prévues côte à côte sur l'organe d'allumage les coiffes respectives peuvent être reliées par un premier voile réalisé d'une seule pièce avec lesdites coiffes dans le prolongement de leur rabat respectif.In the case where several high-voltage outlet chimneys are provided side by side on the ignition member, the respective caps can be connected by a first web produced in one piece with said caps in the extension of their respective flaps.

Les coiffes peuvent en outre être reliées par un deuxième voile perpendiculaire au premier voile, le deuxième voile étant avantageusement séparé du premier voile dans les espaces situés entre les coiffes.The caps can also be connected by a second veil perpendicular to the first veil, the second veil advantageously being separated from the first veil in the spaces located between the caps.

Un tel agencement permet une mise en place aisée de l'ensemble de coiffes sur l'organe d'allumage, l'utilisateur pouvant notamment saisir cet ensemble de coiffe par le premier voile, ses doigts traversant les espaces ménagés entre les premier et deuxième voiles.Such an arrangement allows easy installation of the cap assembly on the ignition member, the user being able in particular to grasp this cap assembly by the first veil, his fingers crossing the spaces formed between the first and second veils .

Selon la revendication 7 la coiffe de correcteur de liaison entre un câble électrique et une cheminée coudée de sortie haute tension d'un organe d'allumage comprend au moins une languette en saillie du côté de la coiffe opposée à la sortie du câble, cette languette étant munie à son extrémité de moyens d'accrochages avec l'extrémité de la languette d'une autre coiffé située sensiblement en vis à vis de la première coiffe avec sa sortie de câble opposée à la sortie de câble de la première coiffe.According to claim 7, the corrector cap of connection between an electric cable and a bent chimney of high-voltage outlet of an ignition member comprises at least one tab projecting from the side of the cap opposite to the outlet of the cable, this tab being provided at its end with hooking means with the end of the tongue of another cover situated substantially opposite the first cover with its cable outlet opposite to the cable outlet of the first cover.

On notera que ce mode de réalisation ne peut être appliqué que lorsque l'organe d'allumage possède au moins deux cheminées haute tension opposées.Note that this embodiment can only be applied when the ignition member has at least two opposite high voltage chimneys.

On peut également dans ce mode de réalisation relier un ensemble de coiffes par un voile parallèle à l'axe des câles.It is also possible in this embodiment to connect a set of caps by a veil parallel to the axis of the shells.

Dans tous les cas d'un ensemble de coiffes reliées entre elles, les câbles qui sortent individuellement de chaque coiffe peuvent se rejoindre en un fourreau commun.In all cases of a set of interconnected caps, the cables which exit individually from each cap can be joined in a common sheath.

On décrira maintenant à titre d'exemples non limitatifs des modes de réalisation particulier de l'invention en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une coiffe selon l'invention et de la cheminée sur laquelle elle doit s'adapter,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe axiale de la coiffe de la figure 1, montée sur sa cheminée,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'un ensemble de coiffes telle que celles de la figure 1 reliées entre elles,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe axiale d'une des coiffes de l'ensemble de la figure 3, mise en place sur sa cheminée de sortie,
  • la figure 5 est une vue de dessus d'un organe d'allumage sur lequel sont montés deux ensembles de coiffes conformes chacun à la figure 3,
  • la figure 6 est une vue de dessus d'un autre ensemble de coiffes conforme à l'invention, et
  • la figure 7 est une vue de dessus de deux ensembles de coiffes selon un autre mode de réalisation.
There will now be described, by way of nonlimiting examples, particular embodiments of the invention with reference to the appended schematic drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cap according to the invention and of the chimney on which it must be fitted,
  • FIG. 2 is a view in axial section of the cap of FIG. 1, mounted on its chimney,
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a set of caps such as those of FIG. 1 connected together,
  • FIG. 4 is a view in axial section of one of the caps of the assembly of FIG. 3, placed on its outlet chimney,
  • FIG. 5 is a top view of an ignition member on which are mounted two sets of caps each conforming to FIG. 3,
  • FIG. 6 is a top view of another set of caps according to the invention, and
  • Figure 7 is a top view of two sets of caps according to another embodiment.

On voit sur la figure 1 une cheminée coudée 1 de sortie haute tension d'un organe d'allumage 2. Cette sortie haute tension est reliée à une bougie d'allumage non représentée par un câble haute tension 3. Le câble 3 comporte à son extrémité une cosse de liaison 4 pour sa connexion par tous moyens connus à l'extrémité 5 du conducteur de sortie haute tension 6 de la cheminée 1.We see in Figure 1 a bent chimney 1 high voltage output of an ignition member 2. This high voltage output is connected to a spark plug not shown by a high voltage cable 3. The cable 3 has at its end a connecting lug 4 for its connection by any known means at the end 5 of the high-voltage output conductor 6 of the chimney 1.

L'extrémité du câble 3 comporte conformément à l'invention une coiffe 7 réalisée par exemple en caoutchouc siliconé et formant une cavité, ici sensiblement cylindrique, susceptible de s'adapter sur la tête de la cheminée haute tension 1.The end of the cable 3 comprises, in accordance with the invention, a cap 7 made for example of silicone rubber and forming a cavity, here substantially cylindrical, capable of adapting to the head of the high voltage chimney 1.

La coiffe 7 comporte un rabat 8 opposé et sensiblement perpendiculaire au câble 3 et susceptible, lors du branchement du câble, de se rabattre derrière la surface 9 de la cheminée 1 au niveau où celle-ci forme son coude. Dans le cas présent on a en outre prévu sur la surface de butée 9 une aspérité d'accrochage 10 susceptible de s'engager dans un renfoncement 11 du rabat 8 afin d'assurer un meilleur accrochage de ce rabat sur la surface 9, et d'augmenter par conséquent la force de traction nécessaire sur le câble 3 pour provoquer l'arrachage de la coiffe 7 de la cheminée 1.The cover 7 comprises a flap 8 opposite and substantially perpendicular to the cable 3 and capable, during the connection of the cable, to fold back behind the surface 9 of the chimney 1 at the level where the latter forms its elbow. In the present case, there is also provided on the abutment surface 9 an attachment roughness 10 capable of engaging in a recess 11 of the flap 8 in order to ensure better attachment of this flap on the surface 9, and d 'consequently increase the pulling force required on the cable 3 to cause the cap 7 to be torn off from the chimney 1.

Le rabat 8 porte en outre une languette de traction 12 permettant de faciliter le passage du rabat 8 derrière la surface 9 lors de la mise en place de la coiffe 7.The flap 8 also carries a pull tab 12 making it easier to pass the flap 8 behind the surface 9 when the cap 7 is put in place.

On comprend qu'une fois que ce rabat 8 est mis en place, il s'oppose dans la limite de sa résistance à toute déconnexion du câble 3 par traction dans l'axe de ce dernier.It is understood that once this flap 8 is put in place, it opposes within the limit of its resistance to any disconnection of cable 3 by pulling in the axis of the latter.

Si l'on se réfère maintenant aux figures 3 à 5, on voit un ensemble de trois coiffes 13 du même type que celles des figures 1 et 2 mais reliées entre elles.If we now refer to Figures 3 to 5, we see a set of three caps 13 of the same type as those of Figures 1 and 2 but connected together.

Les rabats 14 de ces coiffes sont en fait réalisées d'une seule pièce avec un voile 15 formé dans leur prolongement, les rabats 14 et le voile 15 formant par conséquent une paroi unique perpendiculaire aux axes des câbles de sortie 16.The flaps 14 of these caps are in fact produced in one piece with a veil 15 formed in their extension, the flaps 14 and the veil 15 consequently forming a single wall perpendicular to the axes of the output cables 16.

Les corps des coiffes 13 sont en outre reliés par un voile 17 parallèle aux axes des câbles 16 et par conséquent perpendiculaire à la paroi 14 -15. Des espaces 18 sont ménagés entre le voile 17 et le voile 15 de manière à permettre le passage des doigts d'un utilisateur.The bodies of the caps 13 are further connected by a veil 17 parallel to the axes of the cables 16 and therefore perpendicular to the wall 14 -15. Spaces 18 are provided between the veil 17 and the veil 15 so as to allow the passage of the fingers of a user.

La figure 4 montre l'ensemble de la figure 3 monté sur un organe d'allumage 19 muni de cheminées coudées 20. On voit que les rabats 14 sont rabattus derrière les surfaces de butée 21 des cheminées 20 opposées au câble 16.FIG. 4 shows the assembly of FIG. 3 mounted on an ignition member 19 provided with bent chimneys 20. It can be seen that the flaps 14 are folded back behind the abutment surfaces 21 of the chimneys 20 opposite the cable 16.

La figure 6 représente un ensembe de coiffes similaire a celui des figures 3 à 5, si ce n'est que les rabats 22 des coiffes individuelles 23 ne sont plus reliées par un voile. Les corps des coiffes 23 sont ici uniquement reliées par un voile 24 parallèle à l'axe des cables de sortie 25.6 shows a set of caps similar to that of Figures 3 to 5, except that the flaps 22 of the individual caps 23 are no longer connected by a veil. The bodies of the caps 23 are here only connected by a veil 24 parallel to the axis of the output cables 25.

Toutefois, dans ce mode de réalisation, les sorties individuelles 26 des coiffes 23 sont rassemblées à leur extrémité en un fourreau unique 27.However, in this embodiment, the individual outlets 26 of the caps 23 are brought together at their end into a single sheath 27.

La figure 7 représente un autre mode de réalisation dans lequel les coiffes 28 ne comportent plus de rabat contrairement aux modes de réalisation précédents. Ces coiffes 28 sont ici reliées par trois par un voile 29 parallèle au câble de sortie 30, ce voile 29 comportant deux languettes 31 et 32 réalisées d'une seule pièce avec lui dans son plan.FIG. 7 shows another embodiment in which the caps 28 no longer have a flap, unlike the previous embodiments. These caps 28 are here connected by three by a veil 29 parallel to the outlet cable 30, this veil 29 comprising two tongues 31 and 32 produced in one piece with it in its plane.

La languette 31 est droite et la languette 32 est coudée et chacune de ces languettes comportent à son extrémité des moyens d'accrochages 33 et 34 respectivement.The tongue 31 is straight and the tongue 32 is bent and each of these tongues comprises at its end hooking means 33 and 34 respectively.

Les languettes 31 et 32 font saillie du voile 29 du côté opposé au câble 30.The tongues 31 and 32 protrude from the web 29 on the side opposite to the cable 30.

Lorsque l'ensemble qui vient d'être décrit est monté sur les cheminées coudées 35 alignées d'un organe d'allumage, les organes d'accrochages 33 et 34 sont en position pour coopérer avec les organes d'accrochages 33′ et 34′ des languettes d'un autre ensemble de coiffes monté sur les cheminées 35′ d'une autre rangée du même organe d'allumage.When the assembly which has just been described is mounted on the bent chimneys 35 aligned with an ignition member, the latching members 33 and 34 are in position to cooperate with the latching members 33 ′ and 34 ′ the tongues of another set of caps mounted on the chimneys 35 ′ of another row of the same ignition member.

Les languettes en vis à vis sont accrochées par leur moyen d'accrochage respectif 33, 34 ,33′, 34′, empêchant ainsi une déconnexion des deux ensembles de câbles.The opposite tongues are hooked by their respective hooking means 33, 34, 33 ′, 34 ′, thus preventing disconnection of the two sets of cables.
