Description

La présente invention a pour objet un connecteur pour borne de batterie du type permettant de relier chacune des bornes de ladite batterie au circuit d'utilisation et comportant un moyen de blocage et de déblocage rapides dudit connecteur sur la borne correspondante.The subject of the present invention is a connector for a battery terminal of the type enabling each of the terminals of said battery to be connected to the use circuit and comprising means for rapid blocking and unblocking of said connector on the corresponding terminal.

Des connecteurs de ce type sont en eux-mêmes connus. Ils présentent cependant de nombreux inconvénients qui en limitent l'utilisation, essentiellement destinée à l'industrie automobile.Connectors of this type are known per se. However, they have many drawbacks which limit their use, mainly intended for the automotive industry.

Tout d'abord ils sont généralement conformés de manière telle qu'ils endommagent la borne de la batterie, borne qui est en matériau très malléable.First of all, they are generally shaped in such a way that they damage the battery terminal, which terminal is made of very malleable material.

Par ailleurs, ils présentent généralement une faible surface de contact électrique.Furthermore, they generally have a small electrical contact surface.

Enfin, ils présentent tous un encombrement important au dessus des bornes, encombrement non compatible avec les exigences et les cahiers des charges des constructeurs automobiles.Finally, they all have a large size above the terminals, size not compatible with the requirements and specifications of car manufacturers.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients des dispositifs de connexion de l'art antérieur.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks of connection devices of the prior art.

Conformément à l'invention, ce résultat est obtenu avec un connecteur pour borne de batterie du type permettant de relier chacune des bornes de ladite batterie au circuit d'utilisation et comportant un moyen de blocage et de déblocage rapides dudit connecteur sur la borne correspondante, caractérisé en ce qu'il se compose essentiellement d'une cosse comportant deux demi-coquilles aptes à se déplacer de manière élastique pour enserrer la borne sous l'effet d'une clé de fermeture articulée sur ladite cosse.In accordance with the invention, this result is obtained with a connector for a battery terminal of the type enabling each of the terminals of said battery to be connected to the use circuit and comprising means for rapid blocking and unblocking of said connector on the corresponding terminal, characterized in that it essentially consists of a terminal comprising two half-shells able to move elastically to enclose the terminal under the effect of a closing key articulated on said terminal.

On comprendra mieux l'invention à l'aide de la description faite ci-après d'un mode de mise en oeuvre donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est un vue de dessus d'un connecteur conforme à l'invention, le capot n'étant pas représenté,
  • la figure 2 est une coupe selon A-A de la figure 1, avec schématisation des positions ouverte et fermée,
  • la figure 3 est une coupe selon B-B de la figure 2,
  • les figures 4a et 4b sont des vues en perspective de la cosse,
  • les figures 5a et 5b sont des vues en perspective de la clé de fermeture,
  • les figures 6a et 6b sont des vues en perspective du capot de connecteur.
The invention will be better understood using the description given below of an embodiment given by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of a connector according to the invention, the cover not being shown,
  • FIG. 2 is a section along AA of FIG. 1, with diagrams of the open and closed positions,
  • FIG. 3 is a section along BB of FIG. 2,
  • FIGS. 4a and 4b are perspective views of the terminal,
  • FIGS. 5a and 5b are perspective views of the closure key,
  • Figures 6a and 6b are perspective views of the connector cover.

Le connecteur comporte essentiellement trois pièces, à savoir:

  • la cosse (1) qui assure la liaison électrique proprement dite,
  • la clé de fermeture (2) qui permet de bloquer ou de débloquer le connecteur de la borne de batterie,
  • un capot (3) qui assure l'isolation de l'ensemble connecteur-borne.
The connector essentially comprises three parts, namely:
  • the terminal (1) which provides the actual electrical connection,
  • the closing key (2) which allows the connector of the battery terminal to be locked or unlocked,
  • a cover (3) which insulates the connector-terminal assembly.

La cosse (1) comporte un embout de sertissage de fil (4) connu en lui-même et un corps (5). Le corps (5) comporte une partie en forme de deux demi-coquilles (6,7) élastiques radialement qui comportent chacune extérieurement une rampe (8).The terminal (1) comprises a wire crimping tip (4) known in itself and a body (5). The body (5) has a part in the form of two radially elastic half-shells (6,7) which each externally comprise a ramp (8).

Les deux demi-coquilles sont destinées à venir enserrer la borne de la batterie et à assurer la liaison électrique. Elles sont rigidifiées par une nervure (17).The two half-shells are intended to enclose the battery terminal and to provide the electrical connection. They are stiffened by a rib (17).

Le contact électrique pourra être amélioré par des stries sur les surfaces de contact.The electrical contact can be improved by streaks on the contact surfaces.

Enfin, le corps comporte un berceau (9) dont la fonction sera explicitée ultérieurement.Finally, the body includes a cradle (9) whose function will be explained later.

Sur la cosse (1) est montée une clé de fermeture, respectivement d'ouverture (2), représentée aux figures 5a et 5b.On the terminal (1) is mounted a closing key, respectively opening key (2), shown in Figures 5a and 5b.

La clé comporte un corps (10) et une languette de manoeuvre (11).The key comprises a body (10) and an operating tongue (11).

La clé est montée articulée sur la cosse (1) au moyen d'un axe (12) qui vient se positionner dans le berceau (9) précité et est maintenu par rabat d'un verrou (18). Aprés montage, la cosse et sa clé sont inséparables.The key is mounted articulated on the terminal (1) by means of a pin (12) which is positioned in the cradle (9) mentioned above and is held by the flap of a lock (18). After assembly, the terminal and its key are inseparable.

Le corps de la clé (10) comporte un cadre (13) dont les deux bords longitudinaux (14,15) viennent solliciter les rampes (8) lors du basculement de la clé. On comprendra que ce mouvement amène les deux coquilles à se déplacer élastiquement en direction radiale et donc à bloquer la borne dans le connecteur. Le mouvement inverse libère la borne.The body of the key (10) includes a frame (13), the two longitudinal edges (14,15) of which urge the ramps (8) when the key is tilted. It will be understood that this movement causes the two shells to move elastically in the radial direction and therefore to block the terminal in the connector. The reverse movement releases the terminal.

Le capot (3) en matière plastique (polypropylène par exemple) assure l'isolation et le repérage visuel de la polarité. Il comporte un orifice (16) qui permet, sans ouvrir le connecteur, le contrôle de la tension batterie par une fiche banane.The cover (3) made of plastic (polypropylene for example) provides insulation and visual identification of the polarity. It has an orifice (16) which allows, without opening the connector, the control of the battery voltage by a banana plug.

Pour la mise en parallèle d'une batterie auxiliaire (sans interruption de la liaison principale) il suffit de faire pivoter l'extrémité du capot (seul) autour d'une charnière (19) pour accéder aux pièces métalliques.For parallel connection of an auxiliary battery (without interrupting the main link), it suffices to pivot the end of the cover (alone) around a hinge (19) to access the metal parts.
