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.
- 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.

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

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
