Abstract

The shunt mechanical connector insertion release mechanism releases a short circuit shunt (30) on the mechanical insertion of a connector (28). The drive mechanism is a moving section (90) moving in an outer sliding channel. Prior to insertion the shunt contacts are short circuited, whilst immediately after insertion the short circuit is removed.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'actionnement d'au moins un shunt notamment dans un connecteur à étrier mobile, plus particulièrement destiné au montage d'un déclencheur de coussin gonflable de sécurité.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.

On connaít des connecteurs à tiroir, notamment celui qui est décrit dans le brevet EP-A- 625 809, au nom du présent demandeur, dont les éléments principaux sont repris dans les figures 1 et 2 "ART ANTERIEUR". Un tel connecteur comprend une embase 10 et une fiche 12 ainsi qu'un tiroir 14 en forme de U. La fiche est prévue pour recevoir une galette de contacts 16 à lames plates, tel que représenté sur la figure 2 et l'embase est prévue pour recevoir par exemple un bloc 18 comportant des contacts.Known connectors are known, in particular that which is described in patent EP-A-625 809, in the name of the present applicant, the main elements of which are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 "PRIOR ART". 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.

Le tiroir et la fiche comprennent des moyens coopérant pour provoquer l'insertion de la fiche en réponse au déplacement du tiroir dans le sens de la flèche F et inversement.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.

Ces moyens comprennent deux paires d'ergots 20, disposées latéralement sur la fiche, ainsi que deux paires de rainures 22 de profil adapté, ménagées dans chacune des parois latérales du tiroir.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.

Un tel connecteur est intéressant dans le sens où le positionnement des lames par rapport aux contacts portés par l'embase est excellent et l'emboítement des différentes lames est simultané.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.

Dans ce cas, il subsiste un problème, soulevé par exemple dans le cas de produits à déclenchement commandé comme les coussins gonflables de sécurité ou les prétenseurs de ceinture de sécurité. En effet de tels contacts sont en court-circuit tant que les connecteurs complémentaires ne sont pas accouplés, mais il faut pouvoir supprimer l'action de ces shunts de mise en court-circuit immédiatement après connexion et ceci de façon sûre. In this case, there remains a problem, raised for example in the case controlled release products such as airbags from seat belt pretensioners. Indeed such contacts are short-circuited until the complementary connectors are coupled, but we must be able to suppress the action of these shunts of setting short circuit immediately after connection and this in a safe manner.

Par ailleurs, par le document EP 0 696 093 également au nom du Demandeur, on connaít un dispositif d'actionnement d'une pluralité de shunts dans un connecteur comprenant une embase, une fiche et au moins une paire de contacts mis en court-circuit par l'intermédiaire desdits shunts, à l'aide de moyens d'actionnement mobiles constitués par une navette susceptible de se déplacer dans l'embase et portant lesdits shunts.Furthermore, by document EP 0 696 093 also in the name of Applicant, we know a device for actuating a plurality of shunts in a connector comprising a receptacle, a plug and at minus a pair of contacts shorted through said shunts, using mobile actuation means constituted by a shuttle capable of moving in the base and carrying said shunts.

L'objet de l'invention est un dispositif d'actionnement d'au moins un shunt dans un connecteur comprenant une embase et une fiche avec au moins une paire de contacts mis en court-circuit par des contacts dudit shunt, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens d'actionnement dont une partie mobile est susceptible de prendre :

  • une première position à proximité immédiate de chaque contact de chaque shunt lorsque les contacts de l'embase et de la fiche sont connectés électriquement et partiellement connectés mécaniquement, et
  • une seconde position dans laquelle au moins l'un des contacts de chaque shunt est déplacé pour mettre hors court-circuit les contacts de l'embase lorsqu'ils sont intégralement connectés mécaniquement,
   et en ce que cette embase comprend un bloc recevant chaque shunt, ce bloc étant muni d'un canal de profil conjugué de celui de la partie mobile des moyens d'actionnement. The object of the invention is a device for actuating at least one shunt in a connector comprising a receptacle and a plug with at least one pair of contacts short-circuited by contacts of said shunt, characterized in that '' it includes actuation means, a movable part of which is capable of taking:
  • a first position in the immediate vicinity of each contact of each shunt when the contacts of the base and of the plug are electrically connected and partially mechanically connected, and
  • a second position in which at least one of the contacts of each shunt is moved in order to short-circuit the contacts of the base when they are fully mechanically connected,
and in that this base comprises a block receiving each shunt, this block being provided with a profile channel combined with that of the movable part of the actuating means.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, cette partie mobile des moyens d'actionnement est un doigt d'actionnement mobile en translation dans le canal, ce doigt comportant au moins un poussoir susceptible de prendre appui sur l'un au moins des contacts de chaque shunt.According to a characteristic of the invention, 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.

Chaque shunt comporte spécifiquement une aile active portant un contact, cette aile étant susceptible de recevoir en appui un poussoir ménagé sur le doigt d'actionnement.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.

Dans le cas de plusieurs shunts, les ailes actives sont décalées en hauteur et le doigt d'actionnement comprend une série de poussoirs correspondants, également décalés en hauteur.In the case of several shunts, the active wings are offset in height and the actuating finger includes a series of pushers corresponding, also offset in height.

Selon un agencement préférentiel, les contacts de l'embase sont de type à cage, les contacts de la fiche sont de type à lame plate et les contacts de chaque shunt sont de type à lame souple. According to a preferred arrangement, the contacts of the base are of cage type, the plug contacts are of the flat blade type and the contacts of each shunt are of the flexible blade type.

Dans le mode d'application retenu, la partie mobile des moyens d'actionnement est solidaire d'un étrier de manoeuvre et de verrouillage de la fiche dans l'embase.In the selected application mode, the mobile part of the means actuator is integral with a stirrup for maneuvering and locking the plug in the socket.

L'invention est maintenant décrite en regard des dessins annexés qui montrent un mode de réalisation, non limitatif, les différentes figures représentant :

  • figures 1 et 2, deux vues en perspective d'un connecteur à tiroir de l'art antérieur,
  • figure 3, une vue en perspective éclatée, partielle d'un tiroir et complète du dispositif d'actionnement selon la présente invention,

  • figure 5, une vue détaillée des shunts et des moyens d'actionnement,
  • figures 6A, 6B et 6C, un synoptique de fonctionnement du dispositif selon la présente invention.
The invention is now described with reference to the accompanying drawings which show an embodiment, without limitation, the various figures representing:
  • FIGS. 1 and 2, two perspective views of a drawer connector of the prior art,
  • FIG. 3, an exploded, partial perspective view of a drawer and complete of the actuation device according to the present invention,

  • FIG. 5, a detailed view of the shunts and of the actuation means,
  • Figures 6A, 6B and 6C, a block diagram of the device according to the present invention.

Pour des raisons de compréhension, le présent dispositif est représenté à partir d'un connecteur à tiroir à emboítement automatique tel que celui de l'art antérieur cité ci-avant car il est particulièrement bien adapté à ce type de connecteur mais il peut bien sûr être appliqué à tout connecteur à emboítement mànuel avec ou sans verrouillage par tiroir.For reasons of understanding, 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.

Sur la figure 3, on a référencé 24, les moyens d'actionnement du dispositif d'actionnement selon l'invention.In FIG. 3, reference 24 has been made, the means for actuating the actuator according to the invention.

Ces moyens d'actionnement comportent un bloc 26 de réception de contacts 28, de type à cage dans l'exemple représenté. Dans ce bloc sont insérés des shunts 30.These 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.

Ce bloc est détaillé sur la figure 4. Il comprend une série de premiers logements 32, doubles, qui reçoivent chacun une paire de contacts 28, au nombre de trois paires dans le mode retenu. Chaque logement est équipé de moyens 34 individuels d'immobilisation en translation de chaque contact, connus par eux-mêmes, en l'occurrence une paires de doigts 36, élastiques, venus de moulage avec le bloc et prévus pour coopérer avec deux fenêtres 38 ménagées dans les faces latérales de chaque contact 28. 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.

Ces logements 32 sont répartis de part et d'autre d'un couloir 40 central, ménagé dans le bloc. Ce couloir est délimité par des cloisons 42, 44 et 46, transversales qui se prolongent latéralement, comme cela est aussi visible sur le synoptique des figures 6A, 6B et 6C. Ces cloisons sont décalées en hauteur par rapport à une même ligne 48 de guidage, ce qui libère des portes 50, 52 et 54 de passage, respectivement de hauteur H1, H2 et H3.These 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. These partitions 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.

Le bloc 26 comprend une série de seconds logements 56, qui reçoivent les shunts 30, chaque second logement étant juxtaposé à un premier logement 32 double.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.

Les shunts se présentent sous forme de plaques 58 avec deux branches 60 et 62, l'une 60 étant passive et l'autre 62 étant active, comme montré en détail sur la figure 5.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.

Chaque branche a une forme en I avec un pied 64 identique et des ailes différentes :

  • la branche active 62 présente une aile 66, 68 et 70 intérieure active, côté couloir, de dimensions telles qu'elle fait saillie dans ledit couloir et une aile 72 extérieure de dimensions simplement adaptées à l'espace intérieur disponible dans le bloc, et
  • la branche passive 60 présente une aile 74 intérieure passive, côté couloir, telle qu'elle ne fait pas saillie dans ledit couloir et une aile 76 extérieure de dimensions simplement adaptées à l'espace intérieur disponible dans le bloc.
Each branch has an I shape with an identical base 64 and different wings:
  • the active branch 62 has an active inner wing 66, 68 and 70, corridor side, of dimensions such that it projects into said corridor and an outer wing 72 of dimensions simply adapted to the interior space available in the block, and
  • the passive branch 60 has a passive inner wing 74, corridor side, such that it does not protrude into said corridor and an outer wing 76 of dimensions simply adapted to the interior space available in the block.

Chacune des ailes passive 74 et active 66, 68, 70 comprend deux languettes 78 d'appui avec précontrainte identique et l'une et l'autre de ces ailes porte respectivement un contact 80, 82 à lamelle souple.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.

La base 83 de chaque plaque est immobilisée dans une fente 84, 86 et 88 qui n'est autre que le prolongement aminci de chaque second logement 56, figure 6A. On note que ces fentes ont une profondeur différente pour permettre, à partir de plaques identiques, de disposer ces plaques à des hauteurs différentes. Ces hauteurs différentes ont pour conséquence induite de disposer les ailes actives 66, 68, 70 de chacune des plaques à des hauteurs différentes, en corrélation avec les variations de hauteur H1, H2 et H3 des cloisons 42, 44 et 46.The base 83 of 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. Note that 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.

Ces moyens d'actionnement comportent en plus du bloc 26 de réception de contacts 28, un doigt 90 d'actionnement. Ce doigt est montré notamment sur la figure 3 sur laquelle il est solidarisé à l'étrier 14 dans l'application sélectionnée pour illustrer le dispositif d'actionnement selon l'invention.These 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.

Ce doigt 90 a un profil particulier de dimensions hors tout aptes à lui permettre de coulisser dans le canal 40 ménagé dans le bloc 26.This finger 90 has a particular profile of overall dimensions suitable for it allow sliding in the channel 40 formed in the block 26.

De plus, ce doigt porte une nervure 92 dite de guidage, de hauteur H1, disposée sur le côté gauche dudit doigt lorsque l'on considère le sens d'introduction. La largeur de cette nervure étant inférieure à la largeur L qui sépare l'extrémité de l'aile active 66, 68 ou 70, côté intérieur et la paroi gauche du canal 40, pris dans le sens d'introduction.In addition, 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.

Ce doigt porte des découpes en escalier qui génèrent des poussoirs 94, 96 et 98. Ces poussoirs ont une hauteur H1, H2 et H3 au jeu près de coulissement, mesuré sur la hauteur intégrale, ceci sur des longueurs d1, d2 et d3, mesurées à compter de la butée 100 d'introduction maximale de ce doigt. Ces longueurs ont des valeurs supérieures à celles d'1, d'2 et d'3 qui séparent le plan d'appui de la butée 100 sur le bloc et les ailes actives 66, 68 et 70, comme montré sur la figure 6C, ceci d'un valeur donnée d'écartement.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.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention est maintenant décrit en regard des différentes figures indifféremment.The device according to the present invention is now described with reference to different figures indifferently.

Les contacts 28 à cages sont introduits dans leurs logements 32 respectifs si bien que l'embase représentée comprend 3 paires de contacts. Ces contacts sont immobilisés dans ces logements par coopération des doigts 36 élastiques avec les fenêtres 38.Contacts 28 with cages are introduced into their housings 32 respective so that the base shown includes 3 pairs of contacts. These contacts are immobilized in these housings by cooperation of the fingers 36 elastic with windows 38.

Les plaques 58 des shunts 30 sont introduites dans leurs logements jusqu'à ce que la base 83 vienne en butée au fond des fentes 84, 86 et 88. Les plaques sont alors décalées en hauteur comme montré sur les figures 6. Dans cette configuration, les contacts 80, 82 à lames souples viennent en appui sur les contacts 28 à cages et donc en liaison électrique avec ces mêmes contacts à travers des découpes adaptées, ménagées dans les cloisons transversales 42, 44 et 46.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.

Les languettes 78 sont en appui sur les prolongements latéraux de ces cloisons transversales 42, 44 et 46.The tabs 78 are supported on the lateral extensions of these transverse partitions 42, 44 and 46.

Ceci est particulièrement bien visible sur les figures 6.This is particularly visible in Figures 6.

La fiche 12 munie de ses lames est positionnée dans l'embase pour que les lames soient sensiblement en face des contacts 28 à cage et l'étrier 14 est pré-emboíté dans l'embase.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.

Durant le mouvement de l'étrier 14 suivant la flèche F, la fiche est enfoncée dans l'embase grâce aux rampes de l'étrier qui coopèrent avec les paires d'ergots 20.During the movement of the stirrup 14 according to arrow F , the plug is pressed into the base thanks to the ramps of the stirrup which cooperate with the pairs of lugs 20.

Simultanément à la translation de l'étrier, le doigt 90 d'actionnement qui en est solidaire, pénètre dans le canal 40 comme montré sur la figure 6A. Puis après enfoncement suffisant de la fiche dans l'embase, les lames pénètrent dans les contacts à cages, assurant la liaison électrique tandis que les poussoirs du doigt viennent en appui sur les ailes 66, 68 et 70 actives. La liaison mécanique reste incomplète.Simultaneously with the translation of the stirrup, 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.

A cette étape, les contacts 80, 82 à lames souples sont toujours en appui sur les contacts à cages si bien que les contacts de chaque paire sont en court-circuit. C'est l'étape 6B.At this stage, 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. This is step 6B.

La dernière étape consiste à pousser l'étrier 14 pour provoquer sa pénétration totale et pour qu'il vienne en butée si bien que le doigt 90 lui aussi est en butée. L'agencement obtenu est montré sur la figure 6C, dans laquelle les poussoirs 94, 96 et 98 ont provoqué le recul des ailes 66, 68 et 70 actives, assurant ainsi le recul des contacts 82 à lames souples et donc la déconnexion électrique si bien que les contacts à cages de chaque paire sont mis hors court-circuit alors que les lames sont enfoncées mécaniquement, de façon intégrale, dans les contacts à cages.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.

Le dispositif d'actionnement selon la présente invention permet de connecter deux éléments tout en les maintenant en court-circuit pendant la connexion et en assurant la mise hors court-circuit dès la connexion électrique assurée des deux éléments. The actuation device according to the present invention 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.

On peut envisager des variantes qui restent dans le cadre de l'invention en modifiant le profil du doigt d'actionnement et en le rendant symétrique pour agir sur deux ailes actives de chaque plaque qui seraient donc elles-mêmes modifiées, ce doigt modifié comprenant une gorge centrale de guidage. Dans ce cas, les deux contacts de la mise en court-circuit sont retirés.We can envisage variants which remain within the scope of the invention. by modifying the profile of the actuating finger and making it symmetrical for act on two active wings of each plate which would therefore be themselves modified, this modified finger comprising a central guide groove. In in this case, the two short-circuiting contacts are removed.

Dans le cas où le connecteur est du type à emboítement manuel sans étrier, la manoeuvre du doigt d'actionnement est manuelle et intervient après connexion électrique des contacts de l'embase et de la fiche, de préférence après emboítement mécanique intégral.In the case where the connector is of the manual socket type without caliper, the actuation of the actuating finger is manual and occurs after electrical connection of socket and plug contacts, preferably after full mechanical interlocking.
