Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an actuation device of at least a shunt in particular in a connector with movable stirrup, more particularly intended for mounting an airbag trigger.
  • Such a connector comprises a base 10 and a plug 12 as well as a drawer 14 in the shape of a U.
  • the plug is designed to receive a contact plate 16 with flat blades, as shown in FIG. 2 and the base is designed to receive, for example, a block 18 comprising contacts.
  • the drawer and the plug comprise means cooperating to cause the insertion of the plug in response to the movement of the drawer in the direction of the arrow F and vice versa.
  • These means comprise two pairs of lugs 20, arranged laterally on the plug, as well as two pairs of grooves 22 of suitable profile, formed in each of the side walls of the drawer.
  • Such a connector is advantageous in the sense that the positioning of the blades compared to the contacts carried by the base is excellent and the interlocking of the different blades is simultaneous.
  • this movable part of the means actuator is an actuating finger movable in translation in the channel, this finger comprising at least one pusher capable of bearing on at least one of the contacts of each shunt.
  • Each shunt specifically has an active wing with a contact, this wing being capable of receiving in support a pusher formed on the actuating finger.
  • the active wings are offset in height and the actuating finger includes a series of pushers corresponding, also offset in height.
  • the contacts of the base are of cage type
  • the plug contacts are of the flat blade type
  • the contacts of each shunt are of the flexible blade type.
  • the mobile part of the means actuator is integral with a stirrup for maneuvering and locking the plug in the socket.
  • the present device is shown from a plug-in drawer connector such as that of the prior art cited above because it is particularly well suited to this type of connector but it can of course be applied to any connector to manual interlocking with or without drawer locking.
  • actuating means comprise a block 26 for receiving contacts 28, of the cage type in the example shown. In this block are inserted shunts 30.
  • This block is detailed in Figure 4. It includes a series of first housings 32, double, which each receive a pair of contacts 28, at the number of three pairs in the selected mode. Each accommodation is equipped with means 34 for individual immobilization in translation of each contact, known by themselves, in this case a pair of fingers 36, elastic, come from molding with the block and provided to cooperate with two windows 38 formed in the lateral faces of each contact 28.
  • housings 32 are distributed on either side of a corridor 40 central, arranged in the block.
  • This corridor is delimited by partitions 42, 44 and 46, transverse which extend laterally, as is also visible on the block diagram of FIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C.
  • partitions 42, 44 and 46 are offset in height with respect to the same guide line 48, which frees up doors 50, 52 and 54 for passage, of height H1, H2 and H3 respectively.
  • Block 26 includes a series of second housings 56, which receive the shunts 30, each second housing being juxtaposed with a first housing 32 double.
  • the shunts are in the form of plates 58 with two branches 60 and 62, one 60 being passive and the other 62 being active, as shown in detail in figure 5.
  • Each of the passive 74 and active 66, 68, 70 wings includes two 78 supporting tabs with identical preload and both of these wings respectively carries a contact 80, 82 with flexible lamella.
  • each plate is immobilized in a slot 84, 86 and 88 which is none other than the thinned extension of each second housing 56, Figure 6A.
  • these slots have a different depth for allow, from identical plates, to arrange these plates at different heights.
  • These different heights result in to have the active wings 66, 68, 70 of each of the plates at different heights, correlated with the height variations H1, H2 and H3 of partitions 42, 44 and 46.
  • actuating means comprise in addition to the block 26 of reception of contacts 28, an actuating finger 90.
  • This finger is shown in particular in Figure 3 in which it is secured to the stirrup 14 in the application selected to illustrate the actuation device according to the invention.
  • This finger 90 has a particular profile of overall dimensions suitable for it allow sliding in the channel 40 formed in the block 26.
  • this finger carries a so-called guide rib 92, of height H1, disposed on the left side of said finger when considering the direction of introduction.
  • the width of this rib being less than the width L which separates the end of the active wing 66, 68 or 70, interior side and the left wall of the channel 40, taken in the direction of introduction.
  • This finger carries staircase cutouts which generate pushers 94, 96 and 98.
  • These lifters have a height H1, H2 and H3 at play near sliding, measured over the full height, this over lengths d1, d2 and d3, measured from the maximum insertion stop 100 of this finger.
  • These lengths have values greater than those of 1, 2 and 3 which separate the bearing plane of the stop 100 on the block and the active wings 66, 68 and 70, as shown in FIG. 6C, this by a given value of spacing.
  • the plates 58 of the shunts 30 are introduced into their housings until the base 83 abuts at the bottom of the slots 84, 86 and 88. The plates are then offset in height as shown in FIGS. 6. In this configuration, the contacts 80, 82 with flexible blades come in support on the contacts 28 with cages and therefore in electrical connection with these same contacts through suitable cutouts, made in the partitions transverse 42, 44 and 46.
  • the tabs 78 are supported on the lateral extensions of these transverse partitions 42, 44 and 46.
  • the plug 12 with its blades is positioned in the base so that the blades are substantially opposite the cage contacts 28 and the stirrup 14 is pre-fitted in the base.
  • the actuating finger 90 which is integral with it, enters the channel 40 as shown in FIG. 6A. Then after sufficient insertion of the plug into the socket, the blades penetrate in the cage contacts, ensuring the electrical connection while the pushers of the finger come to bear on the active wings 66, 68 and 70. The mechanical connection remains incomplete.
  • step 6B the contacts 80, 82 with flexible blades are always in press on the cage contacts so that the contacts of each pair are in short circuit.
  • the last step is to push the stirrup 14 to cause its total penetration and so that it comes to a stop so that the finger 90 also is in abutment.
  • the arrangement obtained is shown in Figure 6C, in which pushers 94, 96 and 98 caused the wings 66, 68 and 70 to recede active, thus ensuring the retraction of the contacts 82 with flexible blades and therefore the electrical disconnection so that the cage contacts of each pair are short-circuited while the blades are mechanically driven in, integrally, in cage contacts.
  • the actuation device makes it possible to connect two elements while keeping them short-circuited during the connection and ensuring short-circuiting from the electrical connection assured of both elements.
  • the actuation of the actuating finger is manual and occurs after electrical connection of socket and plug contacts, preferably after full mechanical interlocking.
