Definitions
- the invention relates to a socket outlet with a seal bellows, said base being fixed or movable to cooperate with a connector.
- the connector can also be fixed or provided with a handle to form a plug.
- Such a socket outlet is provided with a cover and contacts which are mounted in an insulating support fitted in a casing and which are intended to cooperate with opposing contacts of a connector also provided with a casing designed to be introduced between the insulating support and the casing of the socket during coupling of the connector and the socket.
- connection device in certain conditions of use, concerns the tightness of the base in the cover state closed, as well as the seal between the base and the connector, the latter being coupled, in the rest position, that is to say offline, or in the connection position.
- the invention provides a socket outlet which is in particular remarkable in that a bellows seal is fitted in a leaktight manner around the insulating support of the base, between said insulating support and the base casing while at least one elastic means is provided to urge said seal towards a position deployed, said seal taking a folded position when it is stressed by the end front of the connector housing against the effect of said elastic means.
- a socket outlet in particular like that described in the patent above 2 270 696, is generally also provided with an ejection washer which is fitted between the insulating support and the casing of said base and which is intended to be stressed by the front end of the connector housing during the coupling of the connector and the base against the effect of at least one elastic means of which said washer is provided.
- the bellows seal covers at least partly the top of the ejection washer so that this part overlapping the seal is clamped between said washer and the front end of the casing of the connector in the connector coupling position in the base, said means elastic of the ejection washer thus serving as elastic means for deployment of the joint.
- the base cover is provided with an annular skirt intended to enter the base casing when said base is not coupled with the connector, the height of said skirt being chosen so that in its closed position its end front come to pressurize the part of the seal which covers the washer ejection.
- the height of the cover skirt is chosen to press and push back the ejection washer without it exceeding its unlocking position of the security disk.
- the seal according to the invention seals the base, that the latter either closed by its cover, or coupled with a connector in the rest position or in connection position.
- the embodiment shown relates to a socket outlet 1 here provided with an inclined sleeve 1 '.
- the base shown has contacts in known manner, here under pressure at the end such as the central contact 2 provided with a spring.
- This central contact is generally an earth contact while of course phase contacts are provided at the periphery.
- the contacts are mounted in an insulating support 3 arranged in a casing 4.
- the casing 4 is provided with a pivotally mounted cover 5, which is intended to come close the casing 4, as shown in FIG. 2, by coming to lock in this position by hook 6.
- the contacts of the base are intended to cooperate with antagonistic contacts a connector 8 ( Figures 3 and 4), said connector contacts being for example in the form of fixed pins, such as the central contact 9 ( Figures 3 and 4).
- the connector 8 is provided with a handle 8 'and constitutes with it a plug.
- the connector 8 is also provided with a casing 10 which is intended to come be inserted between the insulating support 3 and the casing 4 of the base during the coupling said connector and said base.
- the contacts on the base are protected and hidden at rest by a rotating safety disc 7 provided with at least as much as long as the connector and generally said base are provided with contacts.
- the base is further provided, in the embodiment shown, with a ejection washer 11 urged by at least one spring such as 12.
- This ejection washer 11 is arranged as shown in the drawings, between the insulating support 3 and the casing 4 of the base.
- the washer 11 can thus be pushed back by the front end of the casing 10 connector ( Figures 3 and 4).
- said washer 11 has at least one spout 13 ( Figures 1 to 3) which locks the safety disk 7 at rest in a certain angular position by being inserted in an appropriate accommodation of the latter.
- a bellows seal 14 is arranged around the insulating support 3 of the base between said support and the housing 4.
- the base of the seal 14 has an annular part 14a, arranged in this example, as shown in the drawings, between the insulating support 3 and an appropriate groove of the casing 4, while the other end of the said joint has a part 14b which at least partially covers the ejection washer 11.
- the cover 5 also has an annular skirt 15 whose height is chosen with a certain precision in order to ensure by its front end a certain pressure on the part 14b of the seal 14 against the effect of the elastic means 12 of the ejection ring 11, as shown in FIG. 2, thus ensuring good seal.
- a good seal is ensured in the closed cover position, understands that a seal is also ensured in the coupled position outside connection according to FIG. 3, called the rest position, that is to say when the casing 10 of the connector 8, after having been introduced into the casing 4 of the base 1 with a translation sufficient to exert pressure on the washer 11 in order to unlock the disc security 7 (the spout 13 withdrawing from its housing), then driven so the disc 7 in a rotary movement until the contacts of the connector are aligned with those of the base, said translative and rotary movements being for example obtained by means of a conventional bayonet type system.
- a base without disc of safety or on the contrary a base with a safety disc and an additional disc, as expected in certain other known embodiments.
- the sleeve 1 'of the base could be replaced by a handle, the assembly constituting an extension, or the handle 8 ′ of the connector could be replaced by a sleeve and the sleeve 1 'of the base by a handle.
- the sleeve 1 'could also be a housing fitted with a connection cable inlet.
