Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un élément de boîtier de connecteur électrique. Un tel dispositif est déjà connu du document US-A-5 199 902.The present invention relates to an electrical connector housing element. Such a device is already known from document US-A-5,199,902.

L'invention vise un élément de boîtier pouvant coopérer avec un élément complémentaire aussi bien qu'un étui destiné à être logé dans un élément de boîtier.The invention relates to a housing element capable of cooperating with a complementary element as well as a case intended to be housed in a housing element.

L'invention vise, plus particulièrement, des éléments de boîtier présentant un corps de forme générale parallélépipédique présentant une série de canaux destinés à recevoir, chacun, un organe de contact électrique mâle ou femelle présentant, en un point intermédiaire de leur longueur, une partie amincie et une clé de verrouillage pour bloquer lesdits organes dans les canaux.The invention relates, more particularly, to housing elements having a body of generally parallelepipedal shape having a series of channels intended to each receive a male or female electrical contact member having, at an intermediate point of their length, a portion thinned and a locking key to block said organs in the channels.

De tels éléments de boîtier qui sont réalisés en matière plastique moulée nécessitent la réalisation de moules très complexes et onéreux.Such housing elements which are made of molded plastic require the production of very complex and expensive molds.

Un premier but de l'invention est de simplifier une telle fabrication.A first object of the invention is to simplify such manufacture.

L'élément de boîtier, objet de l'invention, est du type comprenant un corps de forme générale parallélépipédique comportant une série de canaux destinés à recevoir, chacun, un organe de contact électrique présentant, en un point intermédiaire de sa longueur, une partie amincie et une clé de verrouillage pour bloquer les organes de contacts électriques dans les canaux, lesdits organes de contacts électriques étant destinés à recevoir des organes complémentaires engagés par une extrémité du corps, ledit élément de boîtier étant caractérisé en ce que la clé de verrouillage est constituée par un élément en U présentant deux ailes et une âme, la première aile s'insérant dans une fente du corps transversalement aux canaux, tandis que la seconde aile est guidée à l'extrémité du corps destiné à recevoir les organes complémentaires des organes de contacts électriques, la première aile comportant des trous correspondant aux canaux et présentant une partie ayant des dimensions telles qu'ils peuvent être traversés par des organes et une encoche latérale correspondant à des parties amincies desdits organes de contacts électriques, tandis que la seconde aile présente une série d'ouvertures destinées à coïncider avec les canaux pour le passage des organes complémentaires, des moyens étant prévus pour caler la clé dans une première position de préverrouillage dans laquelle les parties des trous, dont les dimensions correspondent à celles des organes coïncident avec les canaux et les ouvertures de la seconde aile sont décalées par rapport auxdits canaux et une seconde position de verrouillage dans laquelle les parties amincies des organes de contacts électriques sont insérées dans les encoches et dans laquelle les ouvertures sont situées au droit des canaux.The box element, object of the invention, is of the type comprising a body of generally parallelepipedal shape comprising a series of channels intended to each receive an electrical contact member having, at an intermediate point of its length, a part thinned and a locking key for blocking the electrical contact members in the channels, said electrical contact members being intended to receive complementary members engaged by one end of the body, said housing element being characterized in that the locking key is constituted by a U-shaped element having two wings and a core, the first wing inserting into a slot in the body transverse to the channels, while the second wing is guided at the end of the body intended to receive the organs complementary to the organs of electrical contacts, the first wing having holes corresponding to the channels and having a part having dimensions such that they can be crossed by members and a lateral notch corresponding to thinned parts of said members of electrical contacts, while the second wing has a series of openings intended to coincide with the channels for the passage of members complementary, means being provided for wedging the key in a first pre-locking position in which the parts of the holes, the dimensions of which correspond to those of the members coincide with the channels and the openings of the second wing are offset with respect to said channels and a second locking position in which the thinned parts of the electrical contact members are inserted into the notches and in which the openings are located in line with the channels.

Grâce à cette disposition, on réalise un élément de boîtier simple à réaliser et dans lequel les organes complémentaires des organes de contacts électriques logés dans les canaux ne peuvent pas être insérés, même partiellement si la clé n'est pas complètement verrouillée.Thanks to this arrangement, a simple housing element is produced and in which the complementary members of the electrical contact members housed in the channels cannot be inserted, even partially if the key is not completely locked.

De préférence, le corps comporte un logement destiné à recevoir l'âme de la clé de verrouillage lorsque celle-ci occupe la position de verrouillage. Ainsi, l'élément de boîtier ne peut être inséré dans un élément complémentaire si la clé n'est pas complètement effacée.Preferably, the body comprises a housing intended to receive the core of the locking key when the latter occupies the locking position. Thus, the housing element cannot be inserted into an additional element if the key is not completely erased.

Suivant un détail constructif, le corps comporte deux lumières décalées transversalement sur le corps, tandis que la clé de verrouillage présente une saillie logée dans une des lumières dans la position de préverrouillage et l'autre dans la position de verrouillage.According to a constructive detail, the body has two lights offset transversely on the body, while the locking key has a projection housed in one of the lights in the pre-locking position and the other in the locking position.

Enfin, suivant une dernière caractéristique, la clé de verrouillage comporte un ergot décalé longitudinalement sur la clé pour être situé plus près de l'âme que la saillie, ledit ergot présentant, du côté de la saillie, une rampe et, du côté opposé, un abrupt, ledit ergot venant se loger dans la lumière correspondant à la position de préverrouillage de la saillie.Finally, according to a last characteristic, the locking key comprises a lug offset longitudinally on the key so as to be located closer to the core than the projection, said lug having, on the side of the projection, a ramp and, on the opposite side, a steep, said lug coming to be housed in the light corresponding to the pre-locking position of the projection.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment given by way of example only and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un élément de boîtier de connecteur électrique, selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a perspective view of an electrical connector housing element, according to the invention.

Figure 6 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne 6-6 de la figure 3.Figure 6 is a sectional view along line 6-6 of Figure 3.

Figures 7 et 8 sont des vues à plus grande échelle montrant la clé respectivement dans la position de préverrouillage et dans la position de verrouillage.Figures 7 and 8 are enlarged views showing the key respectively in the pre-locking position and in the locking position.

Figure 9 montre en élévation un organe de connection électrique destiné à être utilisé avec l'élément de boîtier, selon l'invention.Figure 9 shows in elevation an electrical connection member for use with the housing element, according to the invention.

L'élément de boîtier représenté aux figures comprend un corps 1 de forme générale parallélépipédique avec deux grands côtés 2 et 3 et deux petits côtés 4 et 5.The housing element shown in the figures comprises a body 1 of generally parallelepiped shape with two long sides 2 and 3 and two short sides 4 and 5.

Du côté d'une extrémité 1a, le corps 1 présente une série de canaux 7, tandis que du côté de l'autre extrémité 1b, ledit corps est terminé par une jupe 8.On the side of one end 1 a , the body 1 has a series of channels 7, while on the side of the other end 1 b , said body is terminated by a skirt 8.

Chaque canal 7 est destiné à contenir un organe de connection électrique 10 tel que celui représenté à la figure 9, cet organe présente, à une extrémité, une partie femelle 11 avec une pince 12 destinée à enserrer un organe mâle et, à l'autre extrémité, des pattes de sertissage 13 destinées à enserrer une extrémité dénudée d'un conducteur et des pattes de sertissage 14 destinées à être serties sur ledit conducteur.Each channel 7 is intended to contain an electrical connection member 10 such as that shown in FIG. 9, this member has, at one end, a female part 11 with a clamp 12 intended to grip a male member and, at the other end, crimp tabs 13 intended to enclose a stripped end of a conductor and crimping lugs 14 intended to be crimped onto said conductor.

Entre les pattes 13 et la partie 11, le corps 10 présente une partie amincie 15.Between the legs 13 and the part 11, the body 10 has a thinned part 15.

L'élément de boîtier, du côté de son extrémité opposée à la jupe 8, présente sur la face interne des parois 2 et 3 des rainures 17, tandis que dans une partie intermédiaire du corps 1, en travers des canaux 7, est pratiquée une fente 18.The housing element, on the side of its end opposite to the skirt 8, has grooves 17 on the internal face of the walls 2 and 3, while in an intermediate part of the body 1, across the channels 7, a slot 18.

Dans la paroi latérale 4, au voisinage de l'extrémité 1a, est pratiqué un logement 20 et dans le fond du logement, au voisinage de la paroi 2, s'étend une fente 19 qui débouche dans deux lumières 22 et 23 pratiquées dans la paroi 2.In the side wall 4, in the vicinity of the end 1 a , a housing 20 is formed and in the bottom of the housing, in the vicinity of the wall 2, extends a slot 19 which opens into two slots 22 and 23 formed in wall 2.

Une clé de verrouillage 25 est prévue et affecte une forme en U pour présenter une âme 26 et deux ailes 27 et 28.A locking key 25 is provided and has a U shape to present a core 26 and two wings 27 and 28.

L'aile 27 est destinée à s'insérer dans la fente 18 et comporte une série de trous 30 destinés à coïncider, chacun, avec un canal 7, chaque trou 30 présentant une partie 30a ayant une forme et une dimension correspondant à celles de la partie femelle 11, des organes 10 et une encoche 30b ayant une dimension correspondant à celle de la partie amincie 15, lesdites encoches étant décalées angulairement de manière, lorsqu'on engage la clé, qu'en premier les parties 30a se situent en regard des canaux 7 et qu'en fin d'insertion, les parties 30b coïncident avec lesdits canaux 7.The wing 27 is intended to be inserted into the slot 18 and comprises a series of holes 30 intended to coincide, each with a channel 7, each hole 30 having a part 30 a having a shape and a dimension corresponding to those of the female part 11, the members 10 and a notch 30 b having a dimension corresponding to that of the thinned part 15, said notches being offset angularly so that, when the key is engaged, that first the parts 30 a are located opposite the channels 7 and that at the end of insertion, the parts 30 b coincide with said channels 7.

L'aile 28, le long de chacun de ses bords longitudinaux, présente une saillie longitudinale 31 destinée à coopérer avec la rainure correspondante 17, des ouvertures 33 étant pratiquées dans ladite aile 28 et étant destinées à venir en correspondance avec des canaux 7.The wing 28, along each of its longitudinal edges, has a longitudinal projection 31 intended to cooperate with the corresponding groove 17, openings 33 being formed in said wing 28 and being intended to come into correspondence with channels 7.

Chaque ouverture 33 a une section correspondant à celle d'un organe mâle destiné à s'engager dans la partie 11 des organes femelles 10, et va en en s'évasant du côté externe de ladite aile 28.Each opening 33 has a section corresponding to that of a male member intended to engage in the part 11 of the female members 10, and is flared from the outer side of said wing 28.

Au voisinage de l'âme 26, l'un des bords des ailes 27 et 28 est relié par une joue 34 présentant une saillie 35 et un ergot 36 avec une rampe inclinée 36a terminée par un abrupt 36b.In the vicinity of the core 26, one of the edges of the wings 27 and 28 is connected by a cheek 34 having a projection 35 and a lug 36 with an inclined ramp 36 a terminated by a steep 36 b .

La clé 25 est engagée dans le corps 1 de manière que la saillie 35 et l'ergot 36 viennent se loger dans la lumière 22. Dans cette position, la clé ne peut plus être retirée puisque l'abrupt 36b porte contre le bord de la lumière 22. Comme on le voit aux figures 4, 5 et 7, cette première position correspond à un préverrouillage dans lequel les parties 30a des trous 30 coïncident avec les canaux 7.The key 25 is engaged in the body 1 so that the projection 35 and the lug 36 are housed in the slot 22. In this position, the key can no longer be removed since the abrupt 36 b bears against the edge of the light 22. As can be seen in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7, this first position corresponds to a pre-locking in which the parts 30 has holes 30 coincide with the channels 7.

Dans cette première position, les ouvertures 33 sont décalées par rapport aux canaux 7.In this first position, the openings 33 are offset relative to the channels 7.

Les organes 10 sont placés dans les canaux 7 de manière à venir buter contre l'aile 28 (voir figure 4), puis la clé 25 est poussée vers la position de verrouillage (voir figure 8) afin que la saillie 35 vienne s'insérer dans la lumière 23.The members 10 are placed in the channels 7 so as to abut against the wing 28 (see FIG. 4), then the key 25 is pushed towards the locking position (see FIG. 8) so that the projection 35 comes to be inserted in the light 23.

Dans cette position, les parties amincies 15 des organes 10 sont logées dans les encoches 30b, tandis que les ouvertures 33 coïncident avec les canaux 7.In this position, the thinned parts 15 of the members 10 are housed in the notches 30 b , while the openings 33 coincide with the channels 7.

On remarquera que dans la position verrouillée, l'âme 25 s'insère dans le logement 20 de sorte que l'élément de boîtier peut être engagé dans un élément complémentaire ou dans un support. Si la clé n'est pas verrouillée, l'âme 26 reste en saillie de sorte que l'élément de boîtier ne peut pas être mis en place.Note that in the locked position, the core 25 is inserted into the housing 20 so that the housing element can be engaged in a complementary element or in a support. If the key is not locked, the core 26 remains projecting so that the housing element cannot be put in place.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté. 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 embodiment which has just been described and shown. Many detailed modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
