Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an expandable and compressible electrical harness for connection between a fixed member that is difficult to access and a connection member and more particularly an electrical harness for connecting electrical or electronic devices installed in hollow bodies that are difficult to access.
  • actuators are mounted between the exterior panel and the interior panel of the door in an area that is difficult for the operator to access.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the drawbacks mentioned above by proposing an extensible and compressible electrical harness which eliminates the risks of poor connections due to the blind connection between device and connector.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore an expandable and compressible electrical harness for connection between a fixed member which is difficult to access and a connection member, of the type comprising at least two flexible conductive wires and provided at their ends with means of connection with said members, characterized in that it comprises a plastic frame having a succession of corrugations and formed by at least one rod and by bent supports of the conducting wires fixed at least two by two on said rod at the level of the recesses and the tops of the corrugations .
  • FIGs 1 and 2 there is shown an electrical harness designated as a whole by the reference 1 and which is intended for the connection between a fixed member which is difficult to access and a connection member and more particularly for the connection of implanted electrical or electronic devices. in hollow bodies.
  • This electrical harness 1 is composed of at least two flexible conductive wires and provided at their ends with connection means constituted for example by terminals 3 of mechanical fixing and electrical connection.
  • the electrical harness 1 also includes a plastic frame 10 intended to hold and support the conductive wires 2.
  • the plastic frame 10 has a succession of undulations and comprises at least one rod 11 and bent supports 12 making it possible to snap on the conducting wires 2.
  • the electrical harness 1 comprises two conducting wires 2 and in this case, the armature 10 comprises a rod 11 and bent supports 12 fixed two by two on said rod 11 at the level of the troughs and tops of undulations and on either side of said rod 11.
  • the electrical harness 1 comprises three conductive wires 2 and in this case the armature 10 comprises two rods 11 which are parallel to each other and kept apart from one another by the bent supports 12 fixed on said rods 11 at the hollows and tops of the undulations.
  • the frame 10 comprises, at each hollow and at each vertex, undulations three bent supports 12.
  • the frame 10 comprises as many rods 11 as there are conductive wires 2 minus one and, at each hollow and at each vertex of the corrugations, as many bent supports 12 as there are conductive wires 2.
  • the rods 11 are formed, between the hollows and the tops of the undulations, by rectilinear sections 11a and, at each hollow and each apex of the undulations, bent portions 11b.
  • the corrugations of the frame 10 are uniform.
  • the supports 12 of this frame 10 have a U-shaped cross section and the open part 12a of the supports 12 is oriented towards the hollow of the corrugations, that is to say that the open parts 12a of the supports 12 placed at a recesses are arranged opposite the open parts 12a of the supports 12 placed at the vertices adjacent to said recesses.
  • the assembly constituted by the frame 10 and the conductive wires 2 is embedded in a flexible elastomer 15.
  • the accordion profile of the frame 10 allows extension or compression of the electrical harness 1 and the plastic material constituting the rods 11 and the supports 12 is judiciously chosen so that the bundle 1 does not flex under its own weight, while keeping flexibility.
  • the electrical harness 1 is intended to connect a lock actuator 20 disposed in a door 21 of a motor vehicle with a supply harness 22.
  • the lock actuator 20 is disposed between the outer panel and the inner panel of the door 21 in an area that is difficult to access.
  • the lock actuator 20 is equipped with an electrical harness 1 according to the invention and which extends said lock actuator 20.
  • the free end of the electrical harness 1 opposite to that connected to the lock actuator 20 is provided for example with a female connector 23 intended to be connected to a male connector 24 provided at the end of the supply harness 22.
  • the connector 23 is located opposite an opening 25 made on the internal panel of the door 21.
  • the operator need only assemble the female connector 23 with the male connector 24 to make the connection between the lock actuator 20 and the supply harness 22.
  • the operator compresses the electrical harness 1 so as to bring the interconnection formed by the female connector 23 and the male connector 24 onto a fixing lug 26 provided in the door 21 and to connect this interconnection 23 and 24 with said tab 26 by means of an appropriate retaining system, such as for example a strap or a clip, not shown.
  • an appropriate retaining system such as for example a strap or a clip, not shown.
  • the length of the electrical harness 1 is determined so that the female connector 23 opens at the opening 25 and is easily accessible.
  • the harness 1 is compressed in an orderly manner thanks to the accordion profile of the frame 10 of this harness 1 and thanks to the choice of plastic material making up this frame 10.
  • the extendable and compressible electrical harness according to the invention makes it possible to eliminate the risks of poor connection when connecting electrical or electronic devices implanted in hollow bodies and difficult to access.
