Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device with a movable gate of protection of pin contacts in an electrical connector. It also concerns the connector equipped with this grid.
  • Connectors especially in the automobile, must be more and more lighter, less bulky and multiple pins. This is mainly due to the fact that the necessary number of electrical connections in vehicles increases dramatically.
  • a current pin contact size is 0.64 mm.
  • An advantageous solution is to have a mobile grid of protection on the connector carrying the pins contacts, grid that can take an advanced position of protecting the front contact pins nesting of the two parts of the housing 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.
  • these arms provide binding and immobilization of the protective grille with respect to the female connector.
  • arms have at the front pins adapted to snap into housings in the complementary connector.
  • the male contact is locked in its socket by the grid which is equipped with corners that come to an end behind arms resilient locking contacts.
  • the female contacts are immobilized in their cell and held in place by adapted lugs.
  • the grid is immobilized relative to the female connector and the male connector contacts penetrate the female contacts of the female connector by through the grid.
  • the arms and spurs take up a lot of space in the connector and increase the bulk.
  • the example shown shows a two-pin connection box.
  • the purpose of the present invention is also to allow an application to connection boxes with several tens of pin contacts.
  • JP 04 209479 A considered to be the closest state of the art, relates for its part to a device connector comprising pin contact protection device movable grate for a connector element provided with contacts pins such as the movable grid has an elastic arm retained in protection position of the contacts between two stops of the element of connector with pin contacts, is moved into position for coupling by a female contact holder connector element intended to mate with the pin contact connector when the coupling of the latter and brought back to the protective position contacts by a stop carried by the connector contact females.
  • This device requires the realization of stops inside a skirt of the element of contacts pins and stops on the walls side of the connector contacts female contacts.
  • the present invention aims to propose a device for contact protection pin with protective grid and grid fixed which is independent of the interlocks of the contacts, the grid mobile device comprising locking means and little maneuvering bulky and totally integrated in the volume of said connector, distributed between the housing of the connector and the grid itself, being mounted by simple interlocking and snapping without requiring a step of mounting specific locking members, and who can to be directly cast.
  • the fixed grid also includes a control rod adapted to ensure the disengagement of the mobile latch of the first stop.
  • the mobile latch comprises a head provided with a first lateral lug to 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 connector and an actuator designed to provide the disengagement of the mobile pawl from the first stop, from the advanced position towards the retracted 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 protective grid.
  • the positioning means comprise three identical systems, two lateral and one frontal.
  • FIG 1 there is shown a connector 10 contact carrier females planned to come cooperate by interlocking with a connector 12 pin holder.
  • Caliper locking means 14 make it possible to render sure this connection after interlocking.
  • the female contact connector receives a fixed grid 16 which for practical reasons of manufacture and in particular of simplification of molding is performed independently. This grid is then reported by snap on the connector with means 18 for snapping.
  • a seal 20, peripheral, is housed in a obviously made in this connector female contact carrier so to ensure a tightness of the connection of the pin connector with the Female contact connector.
  • module 22 pin-holder adapted to be reported in this pin connector.
  • the assembly shown is completed by a grid 24 movable pin protection pin connector connector.
  • module 22 pin holder which is there secured by snapping.
  • Elastic tabs 30, visible in FIG. have come molding for this purpose and cooperate with said housing.
  • the mobile protective grid 24 is represented in detail.
  • This grid 24 includes passages 32 provided to pass the pins 34 of the pin module as this is shown in detail on the Figure 2B.
  • legs resilient 36 with retaining notches 38 adapted to cooperate with the contact carrier module.
  • the positioning means 40 are composed firstly of a mobile latch 42 with a head 44. More particularly, in the preferred embodiment retained, it is noted that the positioning means 40 comprise three identical systems, two lateral and one frontal.
  • Each latch is integral with the grid, in foot. More particularly in the embodiment chosen, 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 furthermore comprise a first and a second stop 52 and 54, fixed, secured to the wall of the housing 26 of connector 12 pin holders.
  • 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 restraint on 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 grid 16 fixed and the assembled assembly, including the seal 20, is shown on the Figure 3A.
  • This grid 16 also includes the reception rooms of the female contacts and passage of the male pins when connecting the two connectors.
  • Means 56 for maneuvering and extraction are carried by this same grid 16 fixed.
  • These maneuvering means also comprise two side systems and a frontal system to cooperate with the systems 40 of positioning, each having a control rod 58 and a latch 60 extractor.
  • a lateral system is described, but the references for the frontal system are identical for the same organs.
  • the control rod 58 has a deformable body 62 and a head 64 equipped 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 pawl 60 extractor is composed of a flexible body 68 flexible in a plane substantially perpendicular to the side wall of the grid in which is embedded.
  • the pawl carries at its upper end a head 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 only difference is that the 62 deformable body works in a plane parallel to that of the latch 60 extractor because we have more space.
  • the position represented is the initial position in which the mobile protective grid 24 is snapped into the housing 26 of the connector 12 pin holders.
  • This grid is then immobilized in position advanced in which the pins are protected.
  • the latch 42 mobile of this grid has its first lug 46 resting on the first fixed stop 52, secured to the housing wall 26 of the connector 12 pin holder.
  • the grid does can be removed because the elastic tabs 36 with their notches 38 retaining cooperate with the module 22 contact carrier.
  • the fixed grid 16 of the connector 10 female contact carrier comes operate some organs of the mobile grid of protection.
  • the latch 60 extractor by its head 70 and more particularly by its wing 72 attacks the ramp formed by the first ergot 46 of the mobile latch which ensures the lifting of the latter with bending of the body 68. It is noted that simultaneously, the control rod 58 is not still come into contact with the housing 26.
  • the head 70 of the extractor pawl 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 lateral lug 48 of the head of the mobile latch because the cam resting on the second stop 54 ensures the bending of the control rod. This causes the disengagement of the first lug 46 of the first stop 52. Simultaneously, the head 70 of the extractor latch passes beyond the double ramp 46/52 and the body 68 of this pawl resumes its initial form.
  • the fixed grid 16 is then in contact with the mobile protection grid 24 and thus released for a translational movement.
  • the connector 10 female contact carrier is moved in translation by relative to the 12-pin connector and the 16 fixed gate moves together with the connector 10 female contact carriers.
  • the recoil of the fixed gate is such that the wing 72 of the puller pawl engages the first lug 46 and the cam 65 bears on the second stop 54 of the housing 26.
  • the head 70 by its wing 72 provides training in translation of the mobile protective grid 24 to 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 ergot 46 ".
  • the elasticity of the latch 42 movable causes the cleat behind this same stop constituting again a double ramp on which glide the wing 72 of the extractor latch.
  • the mobile protection grid 24 is again immobilized in the advanced position.
  • the control rod remains inactive in this phase of uncoupling.
  • the last phase is the movement of the wing 72 of the mobile latch 42 on the first pin 46, now blocked.
  • FIG. 4 shows a variant in which the latch extractor comes to attack a stop 54-1 that causes the direct uprising of the head of the mobile latch in a plane perpendicular to the housing 26 of the connector 12 pin holders.
  • the protective grid can automatically take a position advanced protection and a retracted pin release position at during the coupling of the two connectors.
