Description
La présente invention a pour objet un connecteur électrique hybride comprenant un module porte contacts comportant des contacts broches.The present invention relates to a connector hybrid electrical system comprising a contact holder module having pin contacts.
On connaít des modules porte contacts broches, destinés
à être accouplés à des modules porte contacts femelles.
Le module porte contacts broches comporte une série de
broches de contact de petit diamètre, par exemple
inférieur à 1 mm, en particulier inférieur ou égal à
environ 0,64 mm.
De telles broches sont fragiles et nécessitent une
protection avant leur accouplement avec des contacts
femelles d'un module femelle.Pins contact pins are known, designed to be coupled to female contact holder modules. The pin contact carrier module comprises a series of contact pins of small diameter, for example less than 1 mm, in particular less than or equal to about 0.64 mm.
Such pins are fragile and require protection prior to mating with female contacts of a female module.
On a déjà proposé de munir le module porte contact broche, dans sa partie avant d'accouplement avec le porte contact femelle, d'une grille avant mobile entre une position avancée de protection des broches et une position reculée permettant l'accouplement des deux modules. Un tel module comportant en outre un dispositif ressort agissant sur la grille est enseigné dans le document EP0948089.It has already been proposed to provide the contact holder module pin, in its front part of coupling with the female contact door, a movable front grille between an advanced position of pin protection and a retracted position allowing the coupling of the two modules. Such a module further comprising a spring device acting on the grid is taught in EP0948089.
On connaít également des modules connecteurs dont le verrouillage des contacts utilise un dispositif à volet muni de doigts de verrouillage des contacts, ces doigts venant soit s'insérer dans des fenêtres ménagées dans les contacts soit en appui sur une paroi arrière des contacts. Connector modules are also known whose locking contacts uses a shutter device equipped with finger locking contacts, these fingers to be inserted into windows in the contacts are supported on a rear wall of contact.
Le problème existant avec de tels modules est qu'il arrive que l'on tente d'accoupler un module porte contacts broches avec un module porte contacts femelles alors le verrouillage des contacts n'est pas correct. Un tel accouplement peut conduire à une mauvaise connexion. Par ailleurs, un désalignement lors de l'accouplement peut causer des problèmes divers, tels que pliage d'une ou de plusieurs broches, voire la destruction partielle ou totale d'une ou plusieurs broches.The problem with such modules is that it happens that we try to couple a door module pin contacts with a module contact female contacts then the locking of the contacts is not correct. Such mating can lead to bad connection. Moreover, a misalignment during Mating can cause various problems, such as that folding one or more pins or even the partial or total destruction of one or more pin.

upper flap 5 having a series of locking lugs 26 to ensure the holding in place of thepin contacts 3, theflaps 4, 5 being pivotally mounted relative to the body 1; - a
protective grid 6 placed in a chamber 7 of the body 1, this gate being movable relative to the body 1 and has a series of passages 8 for the ends of thepins 3A when coupling the module with a complementary female contact holder module .
Le corps 1 présente une extrémité avant 1A et une
extrémité arrière 1B, la chambre 7 étant ouverte du
côté de l'extrémité 1A. Cette ouverture de la chambre
étant adaptée pour permettre l'engagement d'une partie
d'un module porte contacts femelles dans la chambre.The body 1 has a
Chaque volet 4, 5 comporte des moyens de clipsage 9
coopérant avec des moyens du corps 1 pour assurer le
maintien en position verrouillée du volet. Chaque
volet 4, 5 est constitué de deux pattes 10, 11 entre
lesquelles s'étend un plat 12 portant les ergots 26.
Chaque patte 10, 11 est profilée de manière à former un
canal 13 et une butée 14. La patte 10, 11 a un profil
sensiblement en L. Each
La grille 6 porte sur sa face tournée vers le fond de
la chambre ou vers l'extrémité 1B du corps quatre
doigts 15A, 15B (figures 4 et 6), deux étant situés le
long du bord gauche 16 de la grille, tandis que les
deux autres sont situés le long du bord droit 17 de la
grille 6. Les doigts supérieurs 15A sont destinés à
coopérer avec les pattes 10, 11 du volet supérieur 5,
tandis que les doigts inférieurs 15B sont destinés à
coopérer avec les pattes 10, 11 du volet inférieur 4.The
En cas de non verrouillage correct d'un volet ou des
deux volets 4, 5, (position montrée aux figures 3 et
4), les doigts 15A de la grille 6 prennent appui sur la
butée 14 des pattes 10, 11 du ou des volets non
verrouillés correctement. De ce fait tout mouvement de
la grille vers l'extrémité 1B du corps est impossible,
de sorte qu'il n'est pas possible d'accoupler le module
avec un module porte contacts femelles et de sorte que
les broches du module sont protégées.
A la figure 4, on a représenté le volet supérieur 5 et
la grille 6 distants l'un de l'autre. La ligne
interrompue 18 montre la position du doigt 15A par
rapport à la patte 11. En réalité le doigt 15A est
adjacent de la patte 11.In the event of the non-locking of one or both
In Figure 4, there is shown the
En cas de verrouillage correct des volets 4, 5 par
rapport au corps 1 (position montrée aux figures 5 et
6), les quatre doigts 15A, 15B de la grille 6 sont
situés respectivement en face d'un canal 13 d'une patte
10, 11 d'un volet 4, 5. Dans cette position, chaque
doigt 15A, 15B est apte à être engagé dans un canal 13
lors d'un mouvement de la grille vers l'extrémité
arrière du corps 1. Lorsque les doigts de la grille 6
sont engagés dans les canaux 13 des pattes 10, 11 des
volets, les doigts 15A, 15B servent de moyens
s'opposant à l'ouverture des volets 4, 5. En d'autres
termes, lors de l'accouplement du module, les doigts
15A, 15B empêchent toute ouverture volontaire ou
accidentelle des volets 4, 5.In case of correct locking of the
Un module femelle 21 apte à coopérer avec le module de
la figure 1 est montré de manière schématique à la
figure 7. Ce module femelle comporte par exemple
également deux volets de verrouillage 22 de contacts
femelles 23.A
Le module de la figure 1 comporte également des lames de court-circuit 24 (figures 8, 9 et 10) formant un court-circuit de contacts tant que le module n'est pas accouplé au module femelle.The module of Figure 1 also includes blades short circuit 24 (FIGS. 8, 9 and 10) forming a short circuit of contacts as long as the module is not coupled to the female module.
Le mouvement des lames 24 d'une position de court-circuit
(voir figure 8) à une position de non court-circuit
(figure 10) est opéré grâce à des doigts 27
portés par la grille 6. La figure 9 montre un état
intermédiaire des modules entre eux. Ces doigts 27
agissent sur une partie courbée 28 de la lame élastique
24 lorsque l'accouplement des modules est presque
réalisé.The movement of the
Les lames élastiques 24 agissent dans la position de la
figure 10 sur la grille pour la pousser vers
l'ouverture de la chambre 7. Ainsi, lors du
désaccouplement du module de la figure 1 par rapport à
celui de la figure 7, les lames élastiques 24 poussent
sur la grille de manière à assurer une bonne protection
des broches depuis le début de l'opération de
séparation des modules.The
Le mouvement de la grille 6 vers le fond de la chambre
(vers l'extrémité 1B du module) est avantageusement
effectué à l'encontre de l'action d'un ou de plusieurs
ressorts 29. De tels ressorts assurent le retour de la
grille 6 dans une position permettant une protection
des broches avant l'accouplement du module de la figure
1.The movement of the
Le module femelle 21 (figure 7) présente des plots et
encoches de pré-verrouillage 30 et un ou des plots et
encoches de verrouillage final 31. Le module présente
également une clé de polarisation 32 destinée à être
engagée dans une gorge 33 de la chambre 7 du corps 1
(figure 1). Le module femelle présente en outre deux
doigts 34 de détrompage destinés à être engagés dans
des gorges 35 de la chambre 7 lors de la connexion du
module de la figure 1 avec le module de la figure 7.
La clé de polarisation 32 et les doigts de détrompage
34 permettent d'éviter un accouplement des modules en
sens inverse, mais permettent surtout d'assurer un
mouvement linéaire du module femelle 21 par rapport à
la chambre 7.The female module 21 (FIG. 7) has studs and
Pour éviter de pouvoir ouvrir les volets 22 du module
femelle, les volets 22 peuvent être d'un type similaire
à celui représenté pour le module de la figure 1,
tandis que la grille 6 présente des doigts (représentés
en trait interrompus à la figure 6 sous la référence
15bis) tournés vers l'ouverture de la chambre 7. Ces
doigts 15bis sont destinés à être engagés
respectivement dans un canal d'une patte d'un volet
lorsque les volets 22 sont en position verrouillée.
Ces doigts 15bis assurent ainsi une fonction de
sécurité puisqu'ils empêchent une ouverture
accidentelle ou non d'un volet 22 lors de
l'accouplement du module 21 avec le module de la figure

La figure 11 montre en perspective un module similaire
à celui représenté à la figure 1, si ce n'est que ce
module comporte un peigne de verrouillage 40 destinée à
être insérée dans un logement 41 du module. Ce peigne
présente des encoches 42 de réception de tiges 43
(montrées en traits interrompus) solidaires de la
grille 6. La grille 6 comporte également des tiges 44
tournées vers l'avant et destinées à travailler avec un
autre module.Figure 11 shows in perspective a similar module
to that shown in Figure 1, except that this
module has a locking
Les formes de réalisation des figures ci-annexées sont données à titre d'exemple uniquement. Il est clair que de nombreuses modifications sont possibles.The embodiments of the figures appended hereto are data as an example only. It's clear that many modifications are possible.
Ainsi, par exemple chaque module peut comprendre des
broches et des pièces femelles. Dans ce cas, chaque
module comporte avantageusement une grille de
protection.
Le volet de verrouillage peut être un volet non
pivotant, par exemple coulissant. Thus, for example each module may include pins and female parts. In this case, each module advantageously comprises a protection grid.
