Definitions

  • a tool for mounting electrical connectors in their final position is
  • the present Utility Model application consists, as its title indicates, of "A tool for mounting electrical connectors in their final position", whose new characteristics of construction, shape and design fulfill the object for which it has specifically been planned, with maximum safety and effectiveness.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a tool to facilitate the assembly of terminals in the electrical connectors of cars.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a tool with which transport of the different parts that make up electrical connectors of the type used in the electrical installation of cars is effective.
  • the invention is an attempt to reduce the operations of assembling the body of the connector, the blocking element and other elements which make up the electrical connector.
  • these parts are transported separately, either loose in bags or grouped into templates. Subsequently, the operator must assemble them to mount the connector and then begin the cabling operation.
  • the tool of the present invention is intended to be used for mounting electrical connectors in their final position, said electrical connectors being of the type used in the car sector for subsequently mounting electrical terminals.
  • Said connectors are made up of a body adapted to be housed in a connector-holding module of, for example, a service box which centralises all the connections of the vehicle.
  • the body of the connector is provided with a plurality of cavities for housing terminals and includes a blocking element of said terminals.
  • the peculiarity of the apparatus that is the object of the present invention lies in the fact that it is made up of a hollow body designed to be capable of sliding inside the said connector-holder, containing the body of the electrical connector inside.
  • the apparatus described is provided, on one of its walls, with an inner projection adapted to act upon said blocking element of the terminals, making it move from an unblocked position to its blocked position when the body of the tool is moved by the operator, thus concealing the ribs of the blocking element behind the ribs of the electrical connector and providing the necessary space for housing the terminals.
  • the body of the tool of the present invention is made up of two parallel larger rectangular walls separated by two parallel smaller walls arranged perpendicularly to the first ones.
  • This structure defines an essentially hollow prismatic shape adapted so as to slide inside the connector-holder and contains between said walls of the tool said body of the connector; said sliding causes the movement of the blocking element to the unblocked position to allow the operator to carry out the appropriate cabling operations.
  • the electrical connector can easily be transported from the factory to the cabling plant with the blocking element housed in the connector, in such a way that the operator simply has to slide the tool in the direction in which the projection of said wall of the body of the apparatus causes the blocking element to move to the unblocked position of the same to enable the operator to carry out the cabling of the connector.
  • the drawings illustrate a tool (10) designed to facilitate mounting of the terminals in an electrical connector (1), by means of which transport of the different parts which make up the connector (1) is comfortable and effective, and also allows the assembly operations of the unit to be reduced.
  • an electrical connector (1) may be observed, provided with a body (2) with prismatic cavities (3) adapted to house terminals with their corresponding electrical cables (not shown).
  • a body (2) with prismatic cavities (3) adapted to house terminals with their corresponding electrical cables (not shown).
  • projections (4, 5) which serve to hold the body (2) of the connector (1) inside the connector-holding module (6) of figures 1, 4 and 5.
  • the connector-holding module (6) is mounted in a service box of the type used to centralise the connections of a car (not shown in the drawings).
  • the body (2) of the connector (1) has an aperture (7) through which the blocking element (8) is introduced.
  • the blocking element (8) can slide inside the body (2) of the connector (1) until it is arranged in the blocking position shown in figure 2, that is, with the ribs (9) coinciding with the cavities (3) of the body (2) of the connector (1).
  • the ribs (9) of the blocking element (8) are concealed behind the ribs of the electrical connector.
  • the tool (10) of the present invention is made up of a body defined by two larger rectangular walls (11, 12) arranged parallel and separated by two smaller walls (13, 14) which define a body with a hollow prismatic shape, adapted to slide inside the connector-holding body (6).
  • the electrical connector (1) is housed, as shown in figures 2 and 5 of the drawings.
  • the wall (13) of the tool (10) is provided with a projection (16) which extends perpendicularly to the same and towards the inside (15) of the tool (10).
  • the operator introduces the tool with the connector (1) previously housed inside (15) the same vertically into the connector-holding module (6).
  • the operator makes it slide so that the projection (16) of the apparatus makes contact with the end of the blocking element (8) in order to cause it to slide and partially exit through the aperture (7) of the body (2) of the connector (1).
  • the operator has the cavities (3) free for cabling. Once the cabling operation is completed, the operator couples the blocking element (8) again and then extracts the apparatus (10).
