Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mobile grid for protecting pin contacts in an electrical connector. It also concerns the connector fitted with this grid.
  • Connectors especially in the automobile, must be increasingly lighter, less bulky and multi-pin. This is essentially due to the fact that the necessary number of electrical connections in vehicles increases very significantly.
  • a common pin contact size is 0.64 mm.
  • An advantageous solution consists in having a movable grid of protection on the connector carrying the pin contacts, grid which can take an advanced position to protect the front contact pins fitting of the two parts of the case and a retracted position, releasing the contact pins to allow their coupling with the contacts females carried by a complementary connector housing, simultaneously with this coupling.
  • US-A-4,797,116 which describes a connection box in which the male connector provided with pins includes a protective grid.
  • This grid can also take a forward position and a retracted position.
  • This grid has two arms provided each of a lug provided to cooperate with the associated female connector.
  • these arms ensure the connection and immobilization of the protective grid with respect to the female connector.
  • the arms have lugs at the front adapted to snap into housings in the complementary connector.
  • the female contacts are immobilized in their socket and held in place by suitable lugs.
  • the secondary locking of the male contacts is deactivated, so that all or part of the traction on the wires, one or more male contacts can be extracted from their alveoli respectively.
  • the arms and lugs take up a lot of space in the connector and increase the size.
  • the example shown shows a two-pin connection box.
  • the object of the present invention is also to allow an application to connection boxes with several dozen pin contacts.
  • the present invention aims to provide a movable grid of protection which is independent of contact locks, which includes space-saving and totally space-saving locking and operating means integrated into the volume of said connector, distributed between the housing of the connector and the grid itself, which is fitted by simple fitting and snap-in without requiring a step of mounting specific organs of locking, and which may have come directly from molding.
  • the present invention provides a movable grid of protection of pins, associated with an electrical connector pin holder adapted to cooperate by interlocking with an electrical contact-holder connector females fitted with a fixed grid, said mobile protective grid can take two positions, one advanced pin protection and the other spindle release distance, characterized in that this grid mobile comprises a movable latch designed to cooperate with a first stop of the electrical connector pin holder in an advanced position and to retract in order to release said movable grid which can take a retracted position and in that the fixed grid includes an extractor latch adapted to cooperate with this movable latch during the movements of the retracted position of the movable grid towards the advanced position.
  • the fixed grid also includes a control rod. adapted to ensure the disengagement of the movable latch from the first stop.
  • the movable latch comprises a head provided with a first lateral lug with triangular section so as to form a ramp.
  • the extractor latch As for the extractor latch, according to a particular characteristic, it carries at its upper end an extraction head whose section is triangular and forms a ramp in the direction of connection.
  • control rod comprises a cam adapted to cooperate with a second fixed stop carried by the pin holder connector and an actuator designed to ensure the disengagement of the movable latch from the first stop, from the advanced position to the backward position.
  • the actuator and the cam are offset in height with respect to the wing.
  • the invention also covers the electrical connector which comprises a such a mobile protection grid.
  • the positioning means comprise three identical systems, two lateral and one frontal.
  • FIG 1 there is shown a connector 10 contact carrier females provided to come cooperate by fitting with a connector 12 pin holder.
  • Caliper locking means 14 make it possible to make secure this connection after interlocking.
  • the female contact-holder connector receives a fixed grid 16 which for practical manufacturing reasons and in particular the simplification of molding is carried out independently. This grid is then reported by latching on the connector by means of latching means 18.
  • a peripheral seal 20 is housed in a obviously made in this female contact holder connector so sealing the connection of the pin holder connector with the female contact carrier connector.
  • module 22 for pin holders adapted to be attached in this pin holder connector.
  • the assembly shown is completed by a movable grille 24 for protecting the pins of the pin holder connector.
  • the mobile protective grid 24 is shown in detail.
  • This grid 24 includes passages 32 provided for letting the pins 34 of the pin holder module as shown in detail on the Figure 2B.
  • a movable latch 42 with a head 44. More particularly, in the preferred embodiment retained, we note that the positioning means 40 include three identical systems, two lateral and one frontal.
  • Each latch is integral with the grid, at the bottom. More specifically in the selected embodiment, the head 44 comprises a first lug 46 lateral, of substantially triangular section forming an introduction ramp and a second lateral lug 48.
  • These positioning means 40 further comprise a first and a second stop 52 and 54, fixed, integral with the wall of the housing 26 of the 12 pin holder connector.
  • the first stop 52 also has a triangular section, substantially identical to that of the first lug 46, but this first stop is oriented in the opposite direction, forming a reserve upon introduction. All of the two elements, first lug and first stop, form a double ramp in the advanced position of the protective grid shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B.
  • the connector 10 female contact carrier receives the fixed grid 16 and the assembled assembly, including the seal 20, is shown in the Figure 3A.
  • This grid 16 also includes the housing for receiving female contacts and male pin passage when connecting the two connectors.
  • Means 56 for maneuvering and extraction are carried by this same fixed grid 16. These maneuvering means also include two lateral systems and a frontal system to cooperate with 40 systems positioning, each comprising a control rod 58 and a latch 60 extractor. We describe a lateral system but the references carried for the frontal system are identical for the same organs.
  • the control rod 58 has a deformable body 62 and a head 64 fitted with a cam 65 and an actuator 66.
  • the body is deformable but in a single plane, substantially parallel to that of the side wall of the grid in which it is embedded.
  • the catch 60 extractor is composed of a body 68 flexible, flexible in a plane substantially perpendicular to the side wall of the grid in which it is embedded.
  • the latch has a head at its upper end 70 extraction whose section is triangular and forms a ramp in the direction of connection and which has an offset forming a wing 72.
  • the deformable body 62 works in a plane parallel to that of the latch 60 extractor because there is more space.
  • the position represented is the initial position in which the movable protective grid 24 is snapped into the housing 26 of the 12 pin holder connector.
  • This grid is then immobilized in position advanced in which the pins are protected.
  • the movable latch 42 of this grid has its first lug 46 bearing on the first fixed stop 52, secured to the wall of the housing 26 of the connector 12 pin holder.
  • the grid does can be removed because the elastic tabs 36 with their retaining notches 38 cooperate with the module 22 contact carrier.
  • the fixed grid 16 of the connector 10 female contact carrier actuates certain organs of the mobile protection grid.
  • the retaining latch 60 by its head 70 and more particularly by its wing 72 attacks the ramp formed by the first lug 46 of the movable latch which raises the latter with bending of the body 68. Note that simultaneously, the control rod 58 is not still come into contact with the housing 26.
  • the head 70 of the extractor latch slides on the ramp constituted by the first stop 52.
  • the actuator 66 of the control rod comes to slide in the space 50 left free between the second lug 48 lateral to the head of the movable latch because the cam bearing on the second stop 54 ensures the bending of the control rod.
  • This causes the first lug 46 to disengage of the first stop 52.
  • the head 70 of the extractor latch passes beyond the double ramp 46/52 and the body 68 of this latch resumes its initial form.
  • the fixed grid 16 is then in contact with the mobile protective grid 24 and therefore released for movement in translation.
  • FIGS. 5E and 5F show, the fixed grid 16 moves jointly in translation with the protective grid.
  • the pins enter the female contacts, which is not shown as well known to all electrical couplings.
  • the mobile protective grid 24 is in full retracted position and the coupling is finalized.
  • the connector 10 female contact carrier is moved in translation by relative to the 12 pin holder connector and the fixed grid 16 moves together with the connector 10 female contact carrier.
  • the recoil of the fixed grid is such that the wing 72 of the extractor latch comes into contact with the first lug 46 and the cam 65 comes to bear on the second stop 54 of the housing 26.
  • the head 70 by its wing 72 provides training in translation of the movable protective grid 24 towards the advanced position.
  • the first lug 46 and this wing 72 attack the ramp formed by the first stop 52 fixed without causing disengagement of the couple "wing 72 / first lug 46 ".
  • the elasticity of the movable latch 42 causes the cleat behind this same stop again constituting a double ramp on which the wing slides 72 of the extractor latch.
  • the mobile protective grid 24 is again immobilized in the forward position.
  • the control rod remains inactive during this phase of uncoupling.
  • the last phase is the displacement of the wing 72 of the movable latch 42 on the first lug 46, now blocked.
  • FIG. 4 shows a variant in which the latch extractor attacks a stop 54-1 which causes direct lifting of the movable latch head in a plane perpendicular to the housing 26 of the 12 pin holder connector.
  • the protective grid can automatically take a position advanced protection and a remote pin release position at during the coupling of the two connectors.
