Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de connexion électrique étanche comportant une fiche ou similaire destinée à se connecter avec une prise constituant le socle d'une prise de courant ou la prise mobile d'un prolongateur ou d'un connecteur.The invention relates to an electrical connection device waterproof comprising a plug or the like intended to be connected with an outlet constituting the base of an outlet or outlet mobile of an extension or a connector.

Il est connu de concevoir un socle de prise de courant pourvu d'un carter muni d'un couvercle de protection articulé et rabattable en position de repos. GB-A-1 562 152 divulgue un dispositif selon le préambule de la revendication 1.It is known to design a socket outlet provided a housing fitted with a hinged and hinged protective cover in the rest position. GB-A-1 562 152 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Il est clair toutefois qu'il y a lieu de généraliser un tel socle à d'autres systèmes de connexion électrique, comme mentionné ci-avant, tels qu'une prise mobile d'un connecteur électrique, prévue pour s'accoupler avec le socle du connecteur dont les organes de contact sont généralement semblables à ceux d'une fiche, ou encore tels qu'une prise mobile d'un prolongateur, prévue pour s'accoupler avec une fiche.It is clear, however, that there is a need to generalize such base to other electrical connection systems, as mentioned above, such as a mobile socket of an electrical connector, provided to mate with the base of the connector including the contacts are generally similar to those of a record, or such as a mobile extension plug, intended to mate with a plug.

Il est difficile de concevoir des dispositifs étanches de ce type, susceptibles notamment de supporter certains jeux et tolérances entre les pièces.It is difficult to design waterproof devices of this kind. type, likely to withstand certain clearances and tolerances between the rooms.

C'est pourquoi jusqu'à présent, l'étanchéité était obtenue au moyen de deux joints plats annulaires prévus pour venir s'appliquer sur le bord frontal du socle, l'un étant aménagé dans le couvercle et l'autre, autour d'une partie de la fiche.This is why until now, the sealing was obtained with by means of two annular flat seals provided to come to apply on the front edge of the base, one being arranged in the cover and the other, around part of the plug.

L'inventeur a eu le mérite de remettre en cause ce principe et d'assurer l'étanchéité au moyen d'un seul joint disposé, contrairement à l'art connu, sur le socle et seulement sur celui-ci, dénommé ci-après prise pour les raisons de généralisation évoquées ci-avant.The inventor had the merit of questioning this principle and to ensure sealing by means of a single seal arranged, unlike to known art, on the base and only on it, hereinafter referred to taken for the reasons of generalization mentioned above.

Toutefois, entre autre dans ce cas, il y avait lieu de réaliser une jonction étanche compatible avec à la fois le mouvement pivotant du couvercle et le mouvement translatif de la fiche.However, among other things in this case, it was necessary to realize a watertight junction compatible with both the pivoting movement of the cover and the translational movement of the plug.

Pour atteindre ce but, l'inventeur propose un dispositif de connexion électrique selon la revendication 1. To achieve this goal, the inventor proposes a device for electrical connection according to claim 1.

Avantageusement, les surfaces d'appui du couvercle et du carter de la fiche sont prévues pour venir au contact d'une zone réduite de la partie recourbée du joint.Advantageously, the bearing surfaces of the cover and the plug housing are intended to come into contact with an area reduced by the curved part of the joint.

Par exemple et non obligatoirement, la surface d'appui du couvercle est tronconique, tandis que la surface d'appui du carter de la fiche est cylindrique parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal dudit carter.For example and not necessarily, the bearing surface of the cover is tapered, while the bearing surface of the housing the plug is cylindrical parallel to the longitudinal axis of said casing.

De préférence, la gorge annulaire présente une section rectangulaire ainsi qu'un rebord intérieur d'où fait saillie la partie recourbée dudit joint et sur lequel vient en regard une partie correspondante du couvercle ou respectivement du carter de la fiche en position fermée dudit couvercle et respectivement en position accouplée de ladite fiche, tandis que la paroi extérieure de la gorge annulaire présente un prolongement longitudinal qui s'étend au-delà du rebord intérieur de ladite gorge.Preferably, the annular groove has a rectangular section as well as an internal rim from which the part projects bent over said seal and on which a corresponding part comes opposite of the cover or respectively of the plug housing in closed position of said cover and respectively in coupled position of said plug, while the outer wall of the groove annular has a longitudinal extension which extends beyond the inner rim of said groove.

Dans ce cas par exemple et non nécessairement, le prolongement de la paroi extérieure de la gorge annulaire est en outre évasé de l'arrière vers l'avant dans le sens longitudinal, sur au moins la majeure partie de sa périphérie.In this case for example and not necessarily, the extension of the outer wall of the annular groove is further flared from back to front in the longitudinal direction, on at least the most of its periphery.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le joint présente une nervure périphérique prévue sur la face extérieure de sa partie recourbée, destinée à s'appuyer sur la paroi interne de la gorge, ainsi qu'une entaille ménagée sur la face extérieure et à la base de sa partie recourbée et son pied est biseauté sur sa face extérieure.According to one embodiment, the seal has a rib peripheral provided on the outer face of its curved part, intended to rest on the internal wall of the throat, as well as a cut on the outside and at the base of its part curved and its foot is bevelled on its outside face.

Pour des raisons de maintien du joint et éventuellement aussi pour des raisons esthétiques, le carter de la prise comporte une bague périphérique qui vient recouvrir au moins en partie sa gorge annulaire et donc le joint logé dans cette dernière.For reasons of maintaining the seal and possibly also for aesthetic reasons, the socket housing has a ring peripheral which covers at least partially its annular groove and therefore the seal housed therein.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple et qui se réfère aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'un socle de prise de courant selon l'invention, avec son couvercle ouvert,
  • la figure 2 montre en coupe axiale le carter de la figure 1 du socle de prise de courant pourvu de son couvercle en position ouverte, ainsi que le carter d'une fiche prête à l'enfichage,
  • la figure 3 est une partie agrandie de la figure 2,
  • la figure 4 montre en coupe les deux éléments de la figure 1 après enfichage,
  • la figure 5 est une partie agrandie de la figure 4,
  • la figure 6 montre en coupe le carter des figures 1 à 5 avec son couvercle rabattu,
  • la figure 7 est une partie agrandie de la figure 6.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description of an embodiment given by way of example and which refers to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of a socket outlet according to the invention, with its cover open,
  • FIG. 2 shows in axial section the casing of FIG. 1 of the socket outlet provided with its cover in the open position, as well as the casing of a plug ready for insertion,
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged part of FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 4 shows in section the two elements of FIG. 1 after plugging in,
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged part of FIG. 4,
  • FIG. 6 shows in section the casing of FIGS. 1 to 5 with its cover folded down,
  • FIG. 7 is an enlarged part of FIG. 6.

Sur les dessins, on peut voir à titre d'exemple, le carter 1, plus particulièrement d'un socle de prise de courant, et le carter 2 d'une fiche (figures 2 et 4) destinée à venir s'enficher pour se connecter dans ledit socle.On the drawings, one can see by way of example, the casing 1, more particularly of a socket outlet, and the casing 2 a plug (Figures 2 and 4) intended to be plugged in to be connect in said base.

Dans le carter 2 de la fiche, sont évidemment prévus des contacts multiples sous forme de broches, destinés à venir en prise avec des contacts correspondants, généralement à pression, aménagés dans un support isolant disposé dans le carter 1 du socle (les contacts qui ne font pas l'objet du brevet ne sont pas représentés, comme d'autres moyens d'ailleurs).In case 2 of the plug, there are obviously provided multiple contacts in the form of pins, intended to engage with corresponding contacts, generally pressure, arranged in an insulating support arranged in the casing 1 of the base (the contacts which are not the subject of the patent are not shown, like other means for that matter).

Du fait de la pression exercée par les contacts et aussi de celle exercée par un système d'éjection de la fiche, on prévoit un système de verrouillage en position de connexion, sous forme ici d'un crochet 3 destiné à venir en prise avec une partie correspondante de la fiche (figure 4).Due to the pressure exerted by the contacts and also that exerted by a plug ejection system, a locking system in connection position, here in the form of a hook 3 intended to engage with a corresponding part of the sheet (figure 4).

Le carter 1 du socle est en outre pourvu d'un couvercle 4 (figures 1, 2, 4 et 6) qui est articulé en 5 à l'opposé du crochet 3.The casing 1 of the base is further provided with a cover 4 (Figures 1, 2, 4 and 6) which is articulated at 5 opposite the hook 3.

Le couvercle 4 est donc monté pivotant et peut être verrouillé en position fermée au moyen du crochet 3 (figure 6) déjà destiné à verrouiller la fiche en position de connexion, comme déjà dit.The cover 4 is therefore pivotally mounted and can be locked in the closed position by means of the hook 3 (FIG. 6) already intended for lock the plug in the connection position, as already stated.

A l'extrémité frontale du carter du socle, est prévue une gorge 6 destinée à recevoir un joint annulaire 7. At the front end of the base casing, there is a groove 6 intended to receive an annular seal 7.

Comme le montrent les dessins, la gorge 6 présente une section rectangulaire avec un rebord intérieur 8 et un prolongement 9 de sa paroi extérieure qui s'évase ici de l'arrière vers l'avant (ces références n'étant mentionnées que sur les figures agrandies et en particulier sur la figure 3, pour raison de clarté).As shown in the drawings, groove 6 has a section rectangular with an inner rim 8 and an extension 9 of its outer wall which flares here from back to front (these references being mentioned only in the enlarged figures and in particular in Figure 3, for clarity).

Le joint 7 inséré dans la gorge 6 fait saillie dans le sens longitudinal par rapport au rebord 8. Comme on peut le voir aussi, la section du joint 7 présente une forme générale de crochet recourbé vers l'intérieur.The seal 7 inserted in the groove 6 projects in the direction longitudinal with respect to the flange 8. As can also be seen, the joint section 7 has a general shape of a curved hook towards the inside.

En outre, comme le montrent bien les figures agrandies et plus spécialement la figure 3, le joint présente une nervure 7' qui vient s'appliquer sur le prolongement 9 de la gorge.In addition, as can be seen from the enlarged figures and more especially Figure 3, the seal has a rib 7 'which comes apply to the extension 9 of the groove.

Pour des questions de déformation du joint et/ou d'air à chasser de la gorge 6, sous la nervure 7', on a ménagé une entaille 7" tandis que le pied dudit joint présente un pan coupé ou biseau 7''' (figure 3).For questions of deformation of the seal and / or air to drive out of the groove 6, under the rib 7 ', a notch 7 "has been made while the foot of said joint has a cutaway or bevel 7 '' ' (figure 3).

Le joint 6 est en plus maintenu en place par une bague 14, qui est accrochée (par exemple par clipsage) sur le carter 1 et qui vient recouvrir en partie le joint en s'appuyant sur le dessus de celui-ci, comme le montrent bien les dessins.The seal 6 is additionally held in place by a ring 14, which is hung (for example by clipping) on the casing 1 and which comes partially cover the joint by resting on top of it, as the drawings clearly show.

En recouvrant en partie le joint, la bague 14 assure en outre en position d'ouverture, un bon aspect du point de vue esthétique.By partially covering the seal, the ring 14 also provides in the open position, a good appearance from the aesthetic point of view.

Comme le montrent aussi les dessins, le couvercle 4 et le carter 2 de la fiche présentent des surfaces d'appui 10 et 11 sur le joint 7, qui se terminent vers l'intérieur respectivement par une pointe 12 et un épaulement 13, la surface 10 du couvercle étant tronconique avec convergence vers l'intérieur en position fermée et de l'arrière vers l'avant, tandis que la surface 11 de la fiche est cylindrique parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal de ladite fiche, c'est-à-dire à la direction d'enfichage ou d'accouplement.As also shown in the drawings, the cover 4 and the casing 2 of the plug have bearing surfaces 10 and 11 on the joint 7, which terminate inward respectively by a tip 12 and a shoulder 13, the surface 10 of the cover being frustoconical with inward convergence in the closed position and back to front, while surface 11 of the plug is cylindrical parallel to the longitudinal axis of said plug, that is to say to the plug-in or mating direction.

Toutefois, les surfaces d'appui 10 et 11 peuvent être bien entendu toutes les deux cylindriques, ou encore toutes les deux tronconiques, voire même respectivement cylindrique et trononique à l'inverse du mode de réalisation représenté.However, the bearing surfaces 10 and 11 can be well heard both cylindrical, or both tapered, or even respectively cylindrical and truncated conversely of the embodiment shown.

On comprend que la surface d'appui 10 du couvercle vient au contact du joint 7 en commençant du côté de son articulation tandis que la surface 11 du carter 2 s'applique périphériquement en même temps sur toute la surface intérieure du joint 7.It is understood that the bearing surface 10 of the cover comes to the contact of the gasket 7 starting from the side of its articulation while that the surface 11 of the casing 2 is applied peripherally at the same time over the entire inner surface of the seal 7.

En position fermée du couvercle ou en position de connexion de la fiche, c'est-à-dire après verrouillage par le crochet 3, on peut voir que les surfaces d'appui 10 et 11 du couvercle et de la fiche s'appuient sur la partie recourbée vers l'intérieur du joint 7 qui se déforme en se refermant sur lui-même tandis que la pointe 12 dudit couvercle et respectivement l'épaulement 13 de ladite fiche viennent en regard (voire en contact ou en quasi-contact) avec le rebord 8 du carter du socle.In the closed position of the cover or in the connection position of the plug, i.e. after locking with the hook 3, you can see that the bearing surfaces 10 and 11 of the cover and the plug are based on the inwardly curved part of the seal 7 which is deforms by closing in on itself while the tip 12 of said cover and respectively the shoulder 13 of said plug come facing (or even in contact or almost in contact) with the flange 8 of the base casing.

On comprend que le contact des surfaces d'appui précitées 10 et 11 avec le joint 7 s'effectue sensiblement selon des génératrices dudit joint (notées C et C' sur les figures 5 et 7), tandis que le joint est en contact en plusieurs endroits dans la gorge 6, comme le montrent bien lesdites figures 5 et 7, et plus particulièrement par sa nervure 7', assurant ainsi une bonne étanchéité.It is understood that the contact of the abovementioned bearing surfaces 10 and 11 with the seal 7 is effected substantially on generators of said seal (denoted C and C 'in FIGS. 5 and 7), while the seal is in contact in several places in groove 6, such as well show said Figures 5 and 7, and more particularly by its rib 7 ', thus ensuring a good seal.

Comme précisé ci-avant, le carter 1 peut être celui d'un socle de prise de courant, mais aussi celui d'une prise mobile prévue pour se connecter soit à un socle de connecteur, soit à une fiche de prolongateur, d'où l'expression générale utilisée, comme déjà dit, de prise, tout en généralisant aussi la fiche qui peut donc constituer le socle d'un connecteur.As specified above, the casing 1 can be that of a base electrical outlet, but also that of a mobile outlet intended for connect either to a connector base or to an extension plug, hence the general expression used, as already said, taken, while also generalizing the plug which can therefore constitute the base a connector.
