Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric connector, in particular of the type comprising an insulating outer casing defining at least one axial cavity, and an electric terminal housed and retained inside the cavity by primary retaining means.
  • Known electric terminals of the aforementioned type comprise a secondary retaining device for ensuring correct insertion as well as further ensuring retention of the terminals inside the respective cavities.
  • the secondary retaining device normally comprises a movable element which snaps on to the casing, and which may either be hinged integral with the casing or consist of a separate element. In either case, snap-on connection of the movable element to the casing is only possible when the terminal is correctly inserted and retained inside the cavity by the primary retaining means which normally consist of an elastically deformable lance forming part of the casing. In the event the terminal is not properly or fully inserted, residual deformation of the primary retaining means prevents the movable element from being assembled, thus enabling the fault to be detected.
  • DE-C-43 01 602 discloses an electric connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an electric connector comprising an insulating casing with at least one axial cavity; at least one electric terminal housed inside the cavity; primary retaining means for retaining the terminal inside the cavity; and secondary retaining means in turn comprising at least a first movable element connectable in a closed position to the casing and cooperating in said closed position with said primary retaining means, for ensuring correct engagement and preventing release of said terminal by said primary retaining means; characterized by comprising disabling means for preventing connection of said connector to a complementary connector; and de-activating means formed on said first movable element for de-activating said disabling means when said first movable element is in said closed position.
  • Number 1 in Figures 1 and 2 indicates an electric connector.
  • Connector 1 substantially comprises an insulating casing 2 defining a number of longitudinal through cavities 3 (only one shown); and a number of male electric terminals 4 housed and retained inside respective cavities 3 by primary retaining means described in detail later on.
  • casing 2 comprises a substantially parallelepiped rear portion 2a in which cavities 3 of terminals 4 are formed; and a hollow front portion 2b defining a compartment 2c for receiving a correspondingly shaped portion of a complementary connector 1' ( Figure 1), and communicating with each of cavities 3.
  • Compartment 2c thus defines a connecting region for connectors 1 and 1'.
  • Each terminal 4 comprises an intermediate box-shaped portion 6; a blade contact portion 7 projecting frontwards from intermediate portion 6; and a rear portion 10 for connection to an electric cable 11.
  • Intermediate portion 6 presents a bottom wall 12, the rear edge 13 of which defines a stop for the primary retaining means; and a pair of lateral walls 14, each forming an integral coplanar tab 15 extending beyond bottom wall 12 and in turn forming a front stop edge 16 substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of terminal 4, and the function of which is described later on.
  • Each terminal 4 is inserted inside respective cavity 3 through a rear opening 17 of the cavity, from which cable 11 extends in use, and contact portion 7 projects axially inside compartment 2c through a front opening 20 of cavity 3.
  • the primary retaining means comprise an elastic lance 18 narrower than the distance between tabs 15 of terminal 4, and which projects inside cavity 3 from the bottom wall 19 of the cavity, and extends substantially longitudinally towards front opening 20.
  • the surface 21 of lance 18 facing inwards of cavity 3 presents a tooth 22 with a substantially serrated profile and presenting an inclined side 23 facing rear opening 17, and a side 24 substantially crosswise to the axis of cavity 3 and facing front opening 20.
  • Tooth 22 therefore permits insertion of terminal 4 which, as it slides along side 23, elastically deforms lance 18 towards wall 19; and, upon terminal 4 being inserted fully inside cavity 3 (Figure 1), lance 18 springs back to the undeformed position by tooth 22 snapping behind rear edge 13 of box portion 6 of terminal 4 which is prevented from being withdrawn by side 24 of tooth 22.
  • Connector 1 also presents a secondary retaining device for retaining terminals 4 and indicated as a whole by 25 ( Figures 1 and 2).
  • device 25 comprises a movable plate 26 separate from casing 2 and which is insertable longitudinally inside compartment 2c of casing 2 so that it is positioned facing and adjacent to bottom wall 38 of portion 2b.
  • Plate 26 presents a pair of inclined lateral edges 27 converging inwards of compartment 2c and slidable longitudinally inside respective guides 28, each of which is formed at the bottom of a lateral wall of compartment 2c of casing 2, and presents an inclined surface 30 cooperating in sliding manner with respective edge 27.
  • Plate 26 also presents a pair of lateral cam tabs 31 parallel to and projecting laterally above the rear portion of plate 26, and each integral with a respective enlarged portion 32 formed in one piece with the rear portion of a respective lateral edge 27 of plate 26.
  • cam tabs 31 are so formed as to interact with respective flexible blades 33 integral with and substantially hinged to walls 29 of compartment 2c so as to flex, by virtue of cam tabs 31, between a disabling position in which they project from walls 29 and interfere with the connecting region of connectors 1 and 1', and an enabling position in which they contact walls 29 and enable connection of connectors 1 and 1'.
  • each tab 31 is defined by an outer lateral surface presenting, successively towards the free end of tab 31, an inclined wedge-shaped first surface 31a, a second surface 31b parallel to the longitudinal direction of connector 1, and an inclined wedge-shaped third surface 31c.
  • Each blade 33 comprises a top portion 33a projecting inwards of compartment 2c to interact with connector 1'; and a bottom portion 33b designed to interact with and substantially complementary to respective tab 31. More specifically, bottom portion 33b presents an inclined lead-in surface 52, an intermediate surface 53, and an inclined stop surface 54.
  • the bottom face 34 of plate 26 presents two seats 35, 36 located successively along the center line of plate 26 and permitting one-way engagement by a tooth 37 extending from the bottom wall 38 of compartment 2c of casing 2.
  • seat 35 When engaged by tooth 37, seat 35 defines a preassembly position of plate 26 inside front portion 2b of casing 2, wherein blades 33 are in the disabling position and are contacted by the inclined surfaces 31c of tabs 31; and seat 36 defines a fully assembled position of plate 26 inside portion 2b of casing 2, wherein blades 33 are set to the enabling position ( Figure 1) by tabs 31.
  • plate 26 presents a substantially fork-shaped front appendix 39 comprising two flexible arms 40 parallel to and facing each other and extending, parallel to the plane of plate 26, towards portion 2a of casing 2, and from a restraining portion 41 integral with plate 26.
  • Arms 40 present respective tapered end portions 42 defined externally by respective converging surfaces 43 perpendicular to the plane of plate 26.
  • Arms 40 present an elongated cross section perpendicular to plate 26, so that they are substantially rigid perpendicular to, but flexible parallel to, plate 26; and the length of arms 40 is such that, when plate 26 is fully assembled inside portion 2b of casing 2, end portions 42 extend inside respective cavity 3, and cooperate with the underside surface 44, on the opposite side to surface 21, of elastic lance 18, so as to prevent lance 18 from being deformed elastically.
  • appendix 45 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, from restraining portion 41 of appendix 39, there projects a shaped appendix 45 extending first at an angle of 45° and then at an angle of 90° in the opposite direction to arms 40.
  • appendix 45 defines a front wall of cavity 3 defining opening 20, and provides for guiding contact portion 7 of terminal 4 towards opening 20 during insertion of the terminal.
  • device 25 also comprises a movable element 46 ( Figures 1 and 2) extending frontwards and integrally from wall 19 to which it is connected by a flexible hinge blade 47, and which is interposed between plate 26 and terminal 4, for expelling the terminal from cavity 3 when plate 26 is assembled inside portion 2b of casing 2 and the terminal is not correctly engaged by elastic lance 18.
  • a movable element 46 Figures 1 and 2 extending frontwards and integrally from wall 19 to which it is connected by a flexible hinge blade 47, and which is interposed between plate 26 and terminal 4, for expelling the terminal from cavity 3 when plate 26 is assembled inside portion 2b of casing 2 and the terminal is not correctly engaged by elastic lance 18.
  • movable element 46 comprises a pair of substantially triangular portions 48 projecting from blade 47, coplanar with tabs 15 of terminal 4, and facing each other at a distance substantially equal to that between tabs 15 and less than the minimum distance between surfaces 43 of arms 40 measured at the free end of arms 40.
  • Portions 48 each comprise a first side 49 extending substantially along an extension of blade 47 and towards appendix 39 of plate 26; an apex 50 opposite side 49 and located close to the free end of and on the opposite side of elastic lance 18 to the other apex 50; and a second side 51 extending between blade 47 and respective apex 50, and facing a respective tab 15 of terminal 4.
  • a first and a second engaging member 64, 65, female and male respectively, integrally extend outwards from a side 60 of casing 2 defined by wall 38 and an adjacent external surface 61 of portion 2a.
  • members 64, 65 extend parallel to each other along opposite longitudinal edges of side 60.
  • Female member 64 includes a pair of parallel longitudinal lips 68, defining a guide and delimiting a longitudinal seat 71 having a substantially T-shaped cross-section.
  • Male member 65 is formed by a rectilinear rib having a corresponding substantially T-shaped cross-section.
  • Members 64, 65 present respective end bevels 72.
  • Wall 38 has a middle longitudinal slit 63 and further includes a pair of external teeth 76 of equal shape, presenting a substantially triangular profile; teeth 76 are adjacent to opposite longituginal edges of slit 63 and oriented longitudinally in opposite directions.
  • each tooth 76 is delimited by a side 77 inclined with respect to wall 38 and by a side 78 substantially orthogonal to wall 38; sides 78 of teeth 76 lie on a common plane P, transversal to casing 2, and sides 77 face opposite ends of casing 2.
  • Tooth 76 of connector 1 are adapted to snap-couple with respective tooth 76 of another connector 1 of the same type ( Figure 8), so that sides 78 of teeth 76 of one connector 1 abut, in use, with sides 78 of respective teeth 76 of the other connector 1 for preventing connectors 1 from sliding longitudinally with respect to each other and assuring a stable assembly, together with members 64, 65.
  • Wall 38 is less thick then the other walls of casing 2 and, also due to slit 63, has a given transversal flexibility.
  • Device 25 operates as follows.
  • plate 26 When first inserted inside compartment 2c of casing 2, plate 26 is set to said preassembly position wherein surfaces 31c of tabs 31 are adjacent to lead-in surfaces 52 of bottom portions 33b of blades 33.
  • tabs 31 slide along and exert such pressure on blades 33 as to move them from the disabling position projecting from walls 29 of compartment 2c, to the enabling position contacting walls 29, in the course of which passage from the disabling to the enabling position, surfaces 31a, 31b, 31c of tabs 31 are gradually brought into contact with the complementary surfaces 52, 53, 54 of blades 33.
  • end portions 42 of arms 40 penetrate and are wedged by friction between portions 48 of movable element 46; as plate 26 is inserted further, it takes element 46 with it and rotates it about blade 47; and portions 48 slide along the lateral walls of cavity 3 until sides 51 of portions 48 are arrested against tabs 15 of terminal 4.
  • tabs 15 define fixed stops for portions 48 which, by also contacting the lateral walls of cavity 3, are prevented from flexing outwards.
  • Plate 26 may thus be inserted fully: tabs 31 push blades 33 into the enabling position wherein surfaces 31c contact surfaces 54; at this point, tooth 37 on bottom wall 38 of compartment 2c penetrates inside seat 36 to lock plate 26 in position in relation to casing 2; and connector 1 may thus be connected to complementary connector 1'.
  • Arms 40 contact lance 18, the residual deformation of which towards wall 19 prevents plate 26 from being inserted; and, as plate 26 cannot be inserted fully inside compartment 2c of casing 2, tabs 31 are prevented from moving blades 33 into the enabling position, so that blades 33 project from walls 29 of compartment 2c, thus preventing connection of connectors 1 and 1'.
  • Figure 8 shows an electric connecting unit 80 including two identical connectors 1 joined to each other. Assembly of unit 80 is performed by slidably coupling female and male members 64, 65 with male and female members 65, 64, respectively, of the other connector 1. Connectors 1 snap-fit to each other by the relative engagement of respective teeth 76, which is aided by the flexibility of respective walls 38.
  • a flat tool (not shown) may be inserted between walls 38 so that walls 38 are slightly deformed inward and allow respective teeth 76 to disengage.
  • Members 64, 65 allow connector 1 to be stably coupled to another connector, in order to form an electric modular connecting unit, as well as to a support body (not shown) provided with corresponding engaging members, e.g. for attachment to a vehicle.
  • connector 1 may comprise any number of terminals 4; and changes may be made to the design and location of cam tabs 31, respective blades 33, appendix 39 and element 46, or to the design and arrangement of the part of terminal 4 with which element 46 cooperates.
  • Expulsion of the poorly inserted terminal 4 by movable element 46 may be dispensed with, since the fault is anyway indicated by the impossibility of connecting connectors 1 and 1'.
  • Connector 1 may present a female as opposed to a male terminal, in which case, it would comprise a female casing connectable to a male casing on the complementary connector, and the connecting region would surround the female casing.
