Abstract

The connector comprises a socket (10) having two parallel outer side walls, and a plug (12) which can move parallel to the side walls of the socket in the insertion and extraction direction. The plug has fingers projecting outwards, orthogonal to the direction. A brace (U-shaped piece) (14) for inserting and extracting the plug can slide along the side walls orthogonally to the insertion direction. Cut out into the brace are emerging channels for receiving the fingers, these channels being shaped such that the movement of the brace in a first direction causes the fingers to be pushed into the channels from the entrance of the latter. The plug (12) includes elastic catching tabs placed so as to be engaged under the brace (14) at the end of insertion and to retain the clamp. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un connecteur électrique rectangulaire du type défini par le préambule de la revendication 1.The subject of the present invention is a rectangular electrical connector of the type defined by the preamble of claim 1.

On connaît déjà de nombreux connecteurs de ce type, souvent dénommés connecteurs à insertion et extraction assistées. Un exemple en est donné dans le document FR-A-2 424 643. Un autre connecteur similaire est décrit dans le document US-A-5 169 327.Numerous connectors of this type are already known, often called assisted insertion and extraction connectors. An example is given in document FR-A-2 424 643. Another similar connector is described in document US-A-5 169 327.

La plupart des connecteurs connus du type ci-dessus défini ne présentent pas une sécurité complète lorsqu'ils sont placés dans un milieu vibratoire. Les vibrations peuvent en effet exercer sur la fiche des efforts tendant à la dégager de l'embase et ces efforts, transmis par les doigts, peuvent les faire glisser le long des couloirs.Most of the known connectors of the type defined above do not exhibit complete safety when they are placed in a vibrating environment. The vibrations can in fact exert on the sheet forces tending to release it from the base and these forces, transmitted by the fingers, can cause them to slide along the corridors.

La présente invention vise notamment à fournir un connecteur électrique à étrier répondant mieux que ceux antérieurement connus aux exigences de la pratique, notamment en ce que ce risque est, dans une large mesure, écarté.The present invention aims in particular to provide an electrical connector with a clamp which responds better than those previously known to the requirements of practice, in particular in that this risk is, to a large extent, avoided.

Dans ce but, l'invention propose un connecteur dans lequel la fiche comporte des pattes d'accrochage élastiques placées de façon à s'engager sous l'étrier en fin d'insertion et à retenir la fiche.To this end, the invention provides a connector in which the plug has elastic hooking lugs placed so as to engage under the stirrup at the end of insertion and to retain the plug.

Si un tel connecteur est soumis à des vibrations, les forces éventuelles dans le sens de l'extraction sont absorbées par l'appui des pattes et ne sont pas transmises par le contact doigts-couloirs.If such a connector is subjected to vibrations, the possible forces in the direction of extraction are absorbed by the support of the tabs and are not transmitted by the finger-lane contact.

Dans le cas fréquent où la fiche est constituée par moulage de matière plastique renforcée par des charges, les pattes d'accrochage sont avantageusement constituées par deux portions terminales de la fiche, en forme de fourche, séparées incomplètement de la partie médiane de la fiche par des fentes.In the frequent case where the plug is formed by molding of plastic material reinforced by fillers, the hooking lugs are advantageously constituted by two end portions of the plug, fork-shaped, incompletely separated from the middle part of the plug by slots.

Pour permettre un engagement facile des pattes lors de l'insertion, des encoches de passage de becs terminaux de ces pattes sont avantageusement ménagées dans la partie terminale de l'étrier qui se rapproche de l'embase lors de l'insertion. Une fois que les becs ont traversé les encoches, le coulissement ultérieur de l'étrier les amène sous des zones d'accrochage.To allow easy engagement of the tabs during insertion, notches for the passage of the end spouts of these tabs are advantageously provided in the terminal part of the stirrup which approaches the base during insertion. Once the nozzles have passed through the notches, the subsequent sliding of the stirrup brings them under hooking zones.

Les couloirs constituant des rampes d'insertion et d'extraction présentent avantageusement une partie terminale sensiblement parallèle à la direction de déplacement de l'étrier, donc perpendiculaire à la direction d'insertion et cette partie terminale étant dimensionnée de façon à être abordée par les doigts dès que les becs des pattes ont traversé les encoches.The corridors constituting insertion and extraction ramps advantageously have an end portion substantially parallel to the direction of movement of the stirrup, therefore perpendicular to the direction of insertion and this end portion being dimensioned so as to be approached by the fingers as soon as the beaks of the legs have crossed the notches.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un mode particulier de réalisation, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif. La description se réfère aux dessins qui l'accompagnent, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective du connecteur, vu côté embase, alors que l'étrier occupe la position pour laquelle les doigts sont à l'entrée des couloirs ;
  • la figure 2, similaire à la figure 1, montre l'étrier complètement enfoncé ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du connecteur, vu côté fiche, alors que l'étrier est complètement enfoncé ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en bout du connecteur, dans la direction de la flèche F de la figure 3 ;
  • la figure 5 est une vue de détail à grande échelle, montrant la fiche dans une position inverse de celle où elle se trouve sur les figures 1 à 4.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description of a particular embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example. The description refers to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the connector, seen on the base side, while the stirrup occupies the position for which the fingers are at the entrance of the corridors;
  • Figure 2, similar to Figure 1, shows the stirrup fully depressed;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of the connector, seen on the plug side, while the bracket is fully depressed;
  • Figure 4 is an end view of the connector, in the direction of the arrow F in Figure 3;
  • FIG. 5 is a detail view on a large scale, showing the plug in a position opposite to that in which it is found in FIGS. 1 to 4.

Le connecteur montré sur les figures comporte deux boîtiers, que l'on considèrera comme constituant une embase 10 et une fiche 12. Les termes " fiche" et "embase" sont utilisés par commodité et n'impliquent nullement que l'embase constitue l'élément fixe. L'embase porte un étrier d'insertion et d'extraction 14.The connector shown in the figures has two housings, which will be considered as constituting a base 10 and a plug 12. The terms "plug" and "base" are used for convenience and in no way imply that the base constitutes the fixed element. The base carries a stirrup insertion and extraction 14.

La fiche et l'embase qui ont été représentées sont d'un type dit modulaire, comportant des compartiments séparés par des cloisons telles que 16 et destinés à recevoir des galettes contenant des contacts (non représentées). Cette constitution modulaire n'est pas un élément de l'invention et n'est pas indispensable.The plug and the base which have been shown are of a so-called modular type, comprising compartments separated by partitions such as 16 and intended to receive wafers containing contacts (not shown). This modular constitution is not an element of the invention and is not essential.

L'embase 10 est à section rectangulaire allongée et présente, dans son sens d'allongement, deux flancs parallèles 18 munis de moyens de clavetage coulissant permettant à l'étrier 14 de se déplacer dans la direction F (figure 3) en étant retenu dans la direction d'insertion et d'extraction, orthogonale à F.The base 10 is of elongated rectangular section and has, in its direction of elongation, two parallel sides 18 provided with sliding keying means allowing the stirrup 14 to move in the direction F (Figure 3) being retained in the direction of insertion and extraction, orthogonal to F.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 1, deux clavettes 20 d'une seule pièce avec l'embase s'engagent dans des rainures non visibles sur la face interne de l'étrier, s'étendant depuis l'extrémité ouverte de l'étrier jusqu'à un emplacement à proximité du fond.In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, two keys 20 in one piece with the base engage in grooves not visible on the inner face of the stirrup, extending from the open end of the caliper to a location near the bottom.

La fiche 12 présente également une section rectangulaire. Sa face externe est en majeure partie lisse. Comme le montre la figure 5, elle présente une partie avant 22 destinée à s'engager de façon coulissante dans l'embase et une partie arrière 24 séparée de la partie avant par un épaulement 26. L'épaulement se trouve à proximité immédiate de l'embase ou contre elle lorsque le connecteur est enfiché.Sheet 12 also has a rectangular section. Its external surface is mostly smooth. As shown in FIG. 5, it has a front part 22 intended to slide into the base and a rear part 24 separated from the front part by a shoulder 26. The shoulder is in the immediate vicinity of the base or against it when the connector is plugged in.

L'étrier 14 et la fiche 12 comportent des moyens coopérants pour provoquer, en réponse aux déplacements de l'étrier 14, l'insertion ou l'extraction de la fiche, suivant le sens du déplacement.The stirrup 14 and the plug 12 comprise cooperating means for causing, in response to the movements of the stirrup 14, the insertion or the extraction of the plug, according to the direction of movement.

Les moyens portés par la fiche sont constitués par au moins une paire de doigts 28 en saillie sur la partie arrière 24, de part et d'autre de la fiche. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, deux paires de doigts 28 sont prévues, ce qui assure un meilleur guidage de la fiche lors de son insertion et de son extraction.The means carried by the plug consist of at least one pair of fingers 28 projecting from the rear part 24, on either side of the plug. In the embodiment shown, two pairs of fingers 28 are provided, which ensures better guiding of the plug during its insertion and its extraction.

Les doigts 28 sont destinés à s'engager dans des couloirs 30 découpés dans l'étrier 14 et débouchant le long de l'arête de l'étrier placé côté fiche. Ces couloirs présentent une entrée évasée, facilitant le passage des doigts 28, et ils ont une forme courbe. Dans leur partie initiale, les couloirs sont obliques par rapport à la direction de déplacement de l'étrier. Dans leur partie terminale, ils sont parallèles à ce sens de déplacement, de façon qu'une traction sur la fiche n'ait pas tendance à chasser l'étrier.The fingers 28 are intended to engage in corridors 30 cut in the stirrup 14 and emerging along the edge of the stirrup placed on the plug side. These corridors have a flared entrance, facilitating the passage of the fingers 28, and they have a curved shape. In their initial part, the corridors are oblique with respect to the direction of movement of the stirrup. In their end part, they are parallel to this direction of movement, so that a pull on the plug does not tend to drive the stirrup.

Conformément à l'invention, des moyens sont prévus pour retenir de façon positive la fiche lorsqu'elle a été complètement insérée par déplacement de l'étrier dans le sens d'insertion.According to the invention, means are provided for positively retaining the plug when it has been completely inserted by moving the stirrup in the direction of insertion.

Dans le cas illustré sur les figures, ces moyens comprennent deux paires de pattes élastiques 32 et 34 appartenant à la fiche, terminées chacune par un bec d'accrochage 36, destiné à s'engager, en fin de course de l'étrier, sous une zone d'accrochage de l'étrier.In the case illustrated in the figures, these means comprise two pairs of elastic tabs 32 and 34 belonging to the plug, each terminated by a hooking spout 36, intended to engage, at the end of the stirrup stroke, under a stirrup attachment zone.

Lorsque, ce qui est le cas le plus fréquent, les composants du connecteur sont en matière plastique moulée, chaque paire de pattes peut être constituée par une portion terminale de la fiche, en forme de fourche, séparée incomplètement de la partie médiane de la fiche par des fentes 38 (figure 5) parallèles à la direction d'insertion de la fiche. A condition de prévoir des dépouilles suffisantes, la fabrication d'une telle fiche ne présente pas de difficultés particulières.When, which is the most frequent case, the components of the connector are made of molded plastic, each pair of lugs can consist of a terminal portion of the plug, in the form of a fork, incompletely separated from the middle part of the plug. by slots 38 (Figure 5) parallel to the direction of insertion of the plug. Provided that sufficient spoils are provided, the production of such a sheet does not present any particular difficulties.

Les becs des pattes 32 viennent de façon naturelle s'engager sous des zones terminales d'accrochage de l'étrier 14 lorsque ce dernier arrive au bout de sa course.The beaks of the legs 32 come in a natural way to engage under terminal areas for hooking the stirrup 14 when the latter reaches the end of its travel.

Pour faciliter le passage des becs 36 des pattes 32, des encoches 40 sont avantageusement prévues dans la face interne des branches de l'étrier. Ces encoches sont suffisamment longues pour être en face des pattes 32 jusqu'à ce que le bec ait dépassé l'étrier au cours de l'insertion de la fiche. Une fois que les becs ont dépassé l'étrier, le déplacement complémentaire de l'étrier amène des zones d'accrochage 42 sous les becs.To facilitate the passage of the spouts 36 of the legs 32, notches 40 are advantageously provided in the internal face of the legs of the stirrup. These notches are long enough to be in front of the legs 32 until the beak has passed the stirrup during the insertion of the plug. Once the spouts have passed the stirrup, the additional movement of the stirrup brings areas hooking 42 under the spouts.

Le mode d'utilisation du connecteur est classique. Pour l'accoupler, on recule l'étrier, jusqu'à une position qui peut être fixée par un verrouillage élastique et pour laquelle les doigts 28 viennent se placer à l'entrée des couloirs 30. La fiche 12 est posée sur l'embase 10 et vient dans la position montrée en figure 1. On pousse alors l'étrier 14. Au début du mouvement, la partie oblique d'une des faces du couloir 30, constituant rampe, force les doigts dans le sens d'insertion. Une fois la pleine insertion réalisée, le déplacement complémentaire de l'étrier amène les doigts au fond de la partie du couloir parallèle au sens de déplacement de l'étrier, en même que les becs des pattes viennent sous les zones d'accrochage.The mode of use of the connector is conventional. To couple it, the bracket is moved back to a position which can be fixed by an elastic lock and for which the fingers 28 are placed at the entrance to the corridors 30. The plug 12 is placed on the base 10 and comes into the position shown in FIG. 1. The stirrup 14 is then pushed. At the start of the movement, the oblique part of one of the faces of the passage 30, constituting a ramp, forces the fingers in the direction of insertion. Once full insertion has been made, the complementary movement of the stirrup brings the fingers to the bottom of the part of the corridor parallel to the direction of movement of the stirrup, as well as the tabs of the legs come under the attachment zones.

Pour désacoupler le connecteur, il suffit de tirer sur l'étrier et la séquence inverse de la précédente se produit, si ce n'est que c'est la face du couloir inutilisée durant l'insertion qui joue cette fois le rôle de rampe.To decouple the connector, simply pull on the bracket and the reverse sequence of the previous one occurs, except that it is the side of the corridor unused during insertion which plays this time the role of ramp.
