Description

La présente invention a pour objet un faisceau électrique extensible et compressible de raccordement entre un organe fixe difficilement accessible et un organe de connexion et plus particulièrement un faisceau électrique pour le raccordement des appareils électriques ou électroniques implantés dans des corps creux et difficilement accessibles.The present invention relates to a beam electrical expandable and compressible connection between a hard-to-reach fixed member and a member connection and more particularly an electrical harness for the connection of electrical devices or electronic implanted in hollow bodies and hardly accessible.

Dans de nombreuses applications industrielles, des appareils électriques ou électroniques sont implantés dans des zones difficilement accessibles, comme par exemple des corps creux ce qui pose des problèmes pour leur raccordement électrique pouvant entraíner des mauvais branchements car l'opérateur ne voit pas les appareils.In many industrial applications, electrical or electronic devices are installed in hard-to-reach areas, such as hollow body which poses problems for their connection electric which can lead to bad connections because the operator does not see the devices.

C'est le cas par exemple des actionneurs de serrures disposés dans une porte de véhicules automobiles.This is the case for example of the actuators of locks arranged in a door of motor vehicles.

En effet, ces actionneurs sont montés entre le panneau extérieur et le panneau intérieur de la porte dans une zone difficilement accessible par l'opérateur.Indeed, these actuators are mounted between the exterior panel and interior panel of the door in an area that is difficult for the operator to access.

Jusqu'à présent, une fois que l'actionneur est monté à l'intérieur de la porte, l'opérateur glisse sa main dans une ouverture ménagée sur le panneau intérieur de cette porte et réalise l'interconnexion entre cet actionneur et un connecteur d'un faisceau électrique d'alimentation.So far, once the actuator is mounted inside the door, the operator slides his hand in an opening on the inner panel of this door and makes the interconnection between this actuator and connector of a wiring harness feed.

Cette opération est délicate à réaliser et le risque d'un mauvais branchement est important car l'opérateur ne voit pas l'actionneur.This operation is delicate to carry out and the risk of improper connection is important because the operator does not see the actuator.

Ces difficultés se rencontrent également dans d'autres applications.These difficulties are also encountered in other applications.

L'invention a pour but d'éviter les inconvénients précédemment mentionnés en proposant un faisceau électrique extensible et compressible qui supprime les risques de mauvais branchements dûs au raccordement en aveugle entre l'appareil et le connecteur.The object of the invention is to avoid the drawbacks previously mentioned by proposing an electrical harness expandable and compressible which eliminates the risks of bad connections due to blind connection between device and connector.

L'invention a donc pour objet un faisceau électrique extensible et compressible de raccordement entre un organe fixe difficilement accessible et un organe de connexion, du type comprenant au moins deux fils conducteurs souples et munis à leurs extrémités de moyens de connexion avec lesdits organes, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une armature en matière plastique présentant une succession d'ondulations et formée par au moins une tige et par des supports coudés des fils conducteurs fixés au moins deux par deux sur ladite tige au niveau des creux et des sommets des ondulations.The subject of the invention is therefore an electric harness expandable and compressible connection between a hard-to-reach stationary member and a connection, of the type comprising at least two conducting wires flexible and provided at their ends with means of connection with said organs, characterized in that it includes a plastic frame having a succession of undulations and formed by at least one rod and by angled supports conductive wires fixed to the minus two by two on said rod at the hollow and peaks of ripples.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :

  • l'armature comprend deux tiges parallèles entre elles et maintenues écartées les unes des autres par les supports coudés fixés entre lesdites tiges au niveau des creux et des sommets des ondulations,
  • les ondulations sont uniformes,
  • les supports présentent une section transversale en forme de U dont les parties ouvertes sont orientées vers le creux des ondulations,
  • l'armature et les fils conducteurs sont noyés dans un élastomère souple.
According to other characteristics of the invention:
  • the frame comprises two rods parallel to each other and kept spaced from each other by the angled supports fixed between said rods at the level of the recesses and the tops of the corrugations,
  • the undulations are uniform,
  • the supports have a U-shaped cross section whose open parts are oriented towards the hollow of the corrugations,
  • the armature and the conductive wires are embedded in a flexible elastomer.

Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

The characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view in longitudinal section of an electric harness according to the invention,

  • Figures 5 and 6 are two partial schematic views of a door of a motor vehicle showing the connection of a lock actuator provided with an electric harness according to the invention.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, on a représenté un faisceau électrique désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 1 et qui est destiné au raccordement entre un organe fixe difficilement accessible et un organe de connexion et plus particulièrement au raccordement d'appareils électriques ou électroniques implantés dans des corps creux.In Figures 1 and 2, a electrical harness designated as a whole by the reference 1 and which is intended for connection between a hard-to-reach stationary member and a connection and more particularly to the connection of devices electrical or electronic equipment installed in hollow body.

Ce faisceau électrique 1 se compose d'au moins deux fils conducteurs souples et munis à leurs extrémités de moyens de connexion constitués par exemple par des bornes 3 de fixation mécanique et de raccordement électrique.This electrical harness 1 consists of at least two flexible conductive wires provided at their ends connection means constituted for example by mechanical fixing and electrical connection terminals 3.

Le faisceau électrique 1 comprend également une armature 10 en matière plastique destinée à maintenir et à supporter les fils conducteurs 2.The electrical harness 1 also includes a plastic frame 10 intended to hold and to support the conductive wires 2.

Ainsi que représenté sur les figures 3 et 4, l'armature 10 en matière plastique présente une succession d'ondulations et comporte au moins une tige 11 et des supports coudés 12 permettant d'encliqueter les fils conducteurs 2.As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the plastic frame 10 has a succession undulations and comprises at least one rod 11 and angled supports 12 for snapping on the wires conductors 2.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 3, le faisceau électrique 1 comprend deux fils conducteurs 2 et dans ce cas, l'armature 10 comprend une tige 11 et des supports coudés 12 fixés deux par deux sur ladite tige 11 au niveau des creux et des sommets des ondulations et de part et d'autre de ladite tige 11.According to a first embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the electrical harness 1 comprises two wires conductors 2 and in this case, the armature 10 comprises a rod 11 and angled supports 12 fixed two by two on said rod 11 at the hollows and tops of undulations and on either side of said rod 11.

Selon un second mode de réalisation représenté à la figure 4, le faisceau électrique 1 comporte trois fils conducteurs 2 et dans ce cas l'armature 10 comprend deux tiges 11 parallèles entre elles et maintenues écartées les unes des autres par les supports coudés 12 fixés sur lesdites tiges 11 au niveau des creux et des sommets des ondulations.According to a second embodiment shown in Figure 4, the harness 1 has three wires conductors 2 and in this case the frame 10 comprises two rods 11 parallel to each other and kept apart the from each other by the angled supports 12 fixed on said rods 11 at the hollows and tops of ripples.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, l'armature 10 comporte au niveau de chaque creux et de chaque sommet des ondulations trois supports coudés 12.In this exemplary embodiment, the armature 10 comprises at the level of each hollow and of each vertex corrugations three angled supports 12.

D'une manière générale, l'armature 10 comporte autant de tiges 11 que de fils conducteurs 2 moins un et, au niveau de chaque creux et de chaque sommet des ondulations, autant de supports coudés 12 que de fils conducteurs 2.In general, the frame 10 comprises as many rods 11 as conductive wires 2 minus one and, at each hollow and at each vertex of the undulations, as many angled supports 12 as conductive wires 2.

Les tiges 11 sont formées, entre les creux et les sommets des ondulations, par des tronçons rectilignes 11a et, au niveau de chaque creux et de chaque sommet des ondulations, des portions coudées 11b.The rods 11 are formed, between the hollows and the peaks of the undulations, by rectilinear sections 11a and, at the level of each hollow and of each vertex of the undulations, bent portions 11b.

De préférence, les ondulations de l'armature 10 sont uniformes.Preferably, the corrugations of the frame 10 are uniform.

Les supports 12 de cette armature 10 présentent une section transversale en forme de U et la partie ouverte 12a des supports 12 est orientée vers le creux des ondulations, c'est à dire que les parties ouvertes 12a des supports 12 placés au niveau d'un creux sont disposées en regard des parties ouvertes 12a des supports 12 placés au niveau des sommets adjacents auxdits creux.The supports 12 of this frame 10 have a U-shaped cross section and the part open 12a of the supports 12 is oriented towards the hollow of the ripples, i.e. the open parts 12a supports 12 placed at a hollow are arranged opposite the open parts 12a of the supports 12 placed at the vertices adjacent to said recesses.

Une fois les fils conducteurs 2 engagés par encliquetage dans les supports 12, l'ensemble constitué par l'armature 10 et les fils conducteurs 2 est noyé dans un élastomère souple 15. Once the conducting wires 2 have been engaged by latching in the supports 12, the assembly constituted by the armature 10 and the conductive wires 2 is embedded in a flexible elastomer 15.

Le profil en accordéon de l'armature 10 permet une extension ou une compression du faisceau électrique 1 et la matière plastique constituant les tiges 11 et les supports 12 est judicieusement choisie pour que le faisceau 1 ne fléchisse pas sous son propre poids, tout en gardant une certaine souplesse.The accordion profile of the frame 10 allows a extension or compression of the harness 1 and the plastic material constituting the rods 11 and the supports 12 is judiciously chosen so that the beam 1 does not flex under its own weight, while keeping a certain flexibility.

En se reportant aux figures 5 et 6, on va maintenant décrire un exemple d'utilisation du faisceau électrique 1 selon l'invention.Referring to Figures 5 and 6, we will now describe an example of beam usage electric 1 according to the invention.

Dans cet exemple d'utilisation, le faisceau électrique 1 est destiné à raccorder un actionneur de serrure 20 disposé dans une porte 21 d'un véhicule automobile avec un faisceau d'alimentation 22.In this usage example, the beam electric 1 is intended to connect an actuator lock 20 arranged in a door 21 of a motor vehicle with a supply harness 22.

L'actionneur de serrure 20 est disposé entre le panneau externe et le panneau interne de la porte 21 dans une zone difficilement accessible.The lock actuator 20 is disposed between the outer panel and the inner panel of door 21 in an area difficult to access.

Afin de faciliter l'interconnexion entre l'actionneur de serrure 20 et le faisceau d'alimentation 22, l'actionneur de serrure 20 est équipé d'un faisceau électrique 1 selon l'invention et qui prolonge ledit actionneur de serrure 20.To facilitate interconnection between the actuator lock 20 and the supply harness 22, the lock actuator 20 is equipped with a harness electric 1 according to the invention and which extends said lock actuator 20.

L'extrémité libre du faisceau électrique 1 opposée à celle reliée à l'actionneur de serrure 20 est pourvue par exemple d'un connecteur femelle 23 destiné à être relié à un connecteur mâle 24 prévu à l'extrémité du faisceau d'alimentation 22.The opposite end of the opposite harness 1 to that connected to the lock actuator 20 is provided for example a female connector 23 intended to be connected to a male connector 24 provided at the end of the power harness 22.

Grâce au faisceau électrique 1 qui prolonge l'actionneur de serrure 20, le connecteur 23 se trouve en face d'une ouverture 25 ménagée sur le panneau interne de la porte 21.Thanks to the electric harness 1 which extends the lock actuator 20, the connector 23 is located face of an opening 25 formed on the internal panel of gate 21.

Ainsi, il suffit à l'opérateur d'assembler le connecteur femelle 23 avec le connecteur male 24 pour réaliser la connexion entre l'actionneur de serrure 20 et le faisceau d'alimentation 22.Thus, the operator need only assemble the female connector 23 with male connector 24 for make the connection between the lock actuator 20 and the supply harness 22.

Ensuite et comme représenté à la figure 6, l'opérateur comprime le faisceau électrique 1 de façon à amener l'interconnexion formée par le connecteur femelle 23 et le connecteur mâle 24 sur une patte de fixation 26 prévue dans la porte 21 et de relier cette interconnexion 23 et 24 avec ladite patte 26 au moyen d'un système de retenue approprié, comme par exemple une lanière ou une agrafe, non représentée.Then and as shown in Figure 6, the operator compresses the harness 1 so as to bring the interconnection formed by the female connector 23 and the male connector 24 on a fixing lug 26 provided in gate 21 and connect this interconnection 23 and 24 with said tab 26 by means of a system of suitable restraint, such as a strap or clip, not shown.

La longueur du faisceau électrique 1 est déterminée pour que le connecteur femelle 23 débouche au niveau de l'ouverture 25 et soit facilement accessible.The length of the electrical harness 1 is determined so that the female connector 23 opens at the level of the opening 25 and is easily accessible.

La compression du faisceau électrique 1 s'effectue de manière ordonnée grâce au profil en accordéon de l'armature 10 de ce faisceau électrique 1 et grâce au choix de la matière plastique composant cette armature 10.The harness 1 is compressed neatly thanks to the accordion profile of the armature 10 of this electrical harness 1 and thanks to the choice of plastic material making up this frame 10.

Le faisceau électrique extensible et compressible selon l'invention permet de supprimer les risques de mauvais branchement lors du raccordement d'appareils électriques ou électroniques implantés dans des corps creux et difficilement accessibles.The expandable and compressible harness according to the invention eliminates the risks of incorrect connection when connecting devices electric or electronic implanted in bodies hollow and difficult to access.
