Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de connexion électrique coaxial coudé, permettant notamment de connecter un câble coaxial à une embase.The present invention relates to a coaxial electrical connection device angled, allowing in particular to connect a coaxial cable to a base.

On connaít par le brevet US 5 277 590 un connecteur électrique permettant de connecter un câble coaxial à un élément de raccordement fixé sur un panneau, par exemple. Ce connecteur comporte un corps extérieur recevant deux sous-ensembles pouvant tourner librement autour de deux axes de rotation respectifs, perpendiculaires. Ces sous-ensembles sont mis en place dans le corps extérieur, libres en rotation, au moyen de bagues. Ce connecteur connu comporte un nombre élevé de pièces et nécessite un nombre relativement important d'opérations lors de l'assemblage de ces pièces.We know from US Patent 5,277,590 an electrical connector for connect a coaxial cable to a connection element fixed on a panel, by example. This connector comprises an external body receiving two sub-assemblies able to rotate freely around two respective perpendicular axes of rotation. These sub-assemblies are placed in the external body, free to rotate, by means of rings. This known connector has a high number of parts and requires a number relatively large operations during the assembly of these parts.

Il existe un besoin pour disposer d'un dispositif de connexion coaxial coudé, libre de rotation autour d'un axe, qui soit de réalisation aisée.There is a need to have a bent coaxial connection device, free to rotate around an axis, which is easy to produce.

L'invention y parvient grâce à un nouveau dispositif de connexion électrique coaxial coudé, comportant un élément de support apte à être fixé sur une embase et un élément de connecteur coaxial apte à être assemblé avec ledit élément de support, l'élément de connecteur comportant des première et deuxième parties généralement tubulaires se raccordant notamment à angle droit, la première partie comportant un élément de contact coaxial et la deuxième partie étant apte à recevoir un câble coaxial, ce dispositif étant caractérisé par le fait que l'un des éléments parmi l'élément de connecteur et l'élément de support, comporte au moins un logement et l'autre élément au moins un relief apte à s'engager dans ledit logement et pouvant se déplacer dans celui-ci, le logement et le relief étant en outre agencés de manière à ce que, lorsque l'élément de connecteur et l'élément de support sont assemblés, l'élément de connecteur soit libre de tourner, au moins partiellement, par rapport à l'élément de support, autour d'un axe de rotation lié à l'élément de support.The invention does this thanks to a new electrical connection device angled coaxial, comprising a support element capable of being fixed on a base and a coaxial connector element capable of being assembled with said support element, the element connector comprising first and second generally tubular parts connecting in particular at a right angle, the first part comprising a contact element coaxial and the second part being able to receive a coaxial cable, this device being characterized in that one of the elements among the connector element and the element support, comprises at least one housing and the other element at least one relief suitable for engage in said housing and being able to move therein, the housing and the relief being further arranged so that when the connector member and the connector member support are assembled, the connector element is free to rotate, at least partially, with respect to the support element, about an axis of rotation linked to the element of support.

Grâce à l'invention, la libre rotation de l'élément de connecteur par rapport à l'élément de support sur au moins une portion d'un tour est assurée par un logement et un relief pouvant être directement réalisés sur ces éléments et il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser des éléments rapportés supplémentaires tels que des bagues.Thanks to the invention, the free rotation of the connector element relative to the support element on at least a portion of a tower is provided by a housing and a relief can be directly produced on these elements and it is not necessary to use additional inserts such as rings.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est ainsi de réalisation simple et économique.The device according to the invention is thus simple and economical to produce.

Il est avantageux de réaliser un logement s'étendant angulairement sur 360°, car ainsi l'élément de connecteur peut occuper toutes les orientations angulaires possibles autour de l'axe de rotation précité.It is advantageous to produce a housing extending angularly over 360 °, because thus the connector element can occupy all possible angular orientations around the aforementioned axis of rotation.

Ainsi, on peut fabriquer un seul type de dispositif de connexion apte à réaliser différentes orientations angulaires et à remplacer différents types de connecteurs, ce qui est plus économique, notamment grâce à une meilleure gestion des stocks.Thus, one can manufacture a single type of connection device capable of producing different angular orientations and to replace different types of connectors, which is more economical, in particular thanks to better inventory management.

De préférence, cet axe de rotation est confondu avec l'axe de la première partie tubulaire, lorsque l'élément de connecteur et l'élément de support sont assemblés.Preferably, this axis of rotation coincides with the axis of the first part tubular, when the connector element and the support element are assembled.

Dans un mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le relief est apte à s'encliqueter dans le logement, l'assemblage de l'élément de support et de l'élément de connecteur étant ainsi particulièrement simple et rapide.In one embodiment of the invention, the relief is able to snap into place in the housing, the assembly of the support element and the connector element being thus particularly simple and fast.

Le relief peut être réalisé sur l'élément de support et le logement sur l'élément de connecteur.The relief can be produced on the support element and the housing on the element connector.

Avantageusement, le relief comporte une patte élastiquement déformable et le logement une gorge annulaire, ladite patte étant apte à coulisser dans ladite gorge annulaire.Advantageously, the relief comprises an elastically deformable tab and the housing an annular groove, said tab being able to slide in said groove annular.

La gorge annulaire peut être réalisée sur la surface extérieure de la première partie tubulaire, sur une portion de celle-ci située en avant de la zone de raccordement des première et deuxième parties tubulaires.The annular groove can be made on the outer surface of the first tubular part, on a portion thereof situated in front of the connection zone of the first and second tubular parts.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, l'élément de connecteur comporte un corps sur lequel sont réalisées des première et deuxième parties tubulaires de révolution.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the connector element comprises a body on which are made first and second tubular parts of revolution.

Dans une mise en oeuvre de l'invention, l'élément de connecteur est déjà assemblé, c'est-à-dire comportant tous ses éléments constitutifs, avant sa mise en place dans l'élément de support.In one implementation of the invention, the connector element is already assembled, that is to say comprising all of its constituent elements, before its installation in the support member.

L'élément de support comporte de préférence un boítier présentant une cavité intérieure apte à recevoir au moins partiellement la première partie tubulaire de l'élément de connecteur.The support element preferably comprises a housing having a cavity interior capable of receiving at least partially the first tubular part of the element connector.

De préférence, cette cavité présente une section transversale généralement circulaire adaptée à la section extérieure de la première partie tubulaire.Preferably, this cavity generally has a cross section circular adapted to the outer section of the first tubular part.

Le boítier peut être réalisé dans une matière plastique.The housing can be made of a plastic material.

La patte élastiquement déformable précitée est avantageusement réalisée d'un seul tenant avec le boítier précité.The aforementioned elastically deformable tab is advantageously made of a in one piece with the aforementioned case.

Le boítier peut présenter une forme extérieure choisie de manière à assurer une fonction de détrompage du dispositif de connexion, ce boítier pouvant avoir par exemple une forme extérieure sensiblement parallélépipèdique.The housing may have an external shape chosen so as to ensure a keying function of the connection device, this box may have for example a substantially parallelepipedic external shape.

L'élément de support peut être agencé de manière à être fixé par encliquetage sur une embase, comportant notamment un orifice apte à recevoir un relief de l'embase.The support element can be arranged to be snap-fastened on a base, including in particular an orifice capable of receiving a relief of the base.

L'élément de support peut comporter un élément de verrouillage mobile entre des première et deuxième positions, la première position autorisant le montage de l'élément de connecteur dans l'élément de support et la deuxième position interdisant le retrait de l'élément de connecteur de l'élément de support tout en permettant à l'élément de connecteur de tourner librement.The support element may include a movable locking element between first and second positions, the first position authorizing the mounting of the connector element in the support element and the second position preventing the removing the connector member from the support member while allowing the member to connector to rotate freely.

L'élément de verrouillage comporte avantageusement un orifice pour le passage de ladite première partie tubulaire, cet élément de verrouillage comportant en outre une région pleine adjacente à cet orifice apte à s'engager dans une gorge de l'élément de connecteur, lorsque l'élément de verrouillage est dans la deuxième position de verrouillage.The locking element advantageously comprises an orifice for the passage of said first tubular part, this locking element further comprising a solid region adjacent to this orifice capable of engaging in a groove of the element connector, when the locking element is in the second position of locking.

L'invention a encore pour objet un dispositif de connexion électrique coaxial coudé, comportant un boítier apte à être fixé sur une embase et un élément de connecteur coaxial apte à être assemblé avec ledit boítier et comportant des première et deuxième parties généralement tubulaires d'axes respectifs perpendiculaires, la première partie comportant un élément de contact coaxial et la deuxième partie étant apte à recevoir un câble coaxial, le boítier présentant une cavité intérieure apte à recevoir au moins partiellement ladite première partie tubulaire, et l'un des éléments parmi l'élément de connecteur et le boítier, comprend un logement formé d'une gorge annulaire et l'autre élément au moins un relief comportant chacun une patte élastiquement déformable apte à s'engager par encliquetage dans ladite gorge annulaire, ladite patte étant apte à coulisser dans ladite gorge annulaire lorsque l'élément de connecteur et le boítier sont assemblés, de telle sorte que l'élément de connecteur soit libre de tourner par rapport au boítier, autour d'un axe de rotation lié au boítier.The invention also relates to a coaxial electrical connection device angled, comprising a housing capable of being fixed on a base and a connector element coaxial able to be assembled with said housing and comprising first and second generally tubular parts with respective perpendicular axes, the first part comprising a coaxial contact element and the second part being able to receive a coaxial cable, the housing having an interior cavity capable of receiving at least partially said first tubular part, and one of the elements among the element of connector and housing, includes a housing formed by an annular groove and the other element at least one relief each comprising an elastically deformable tab capable of engage by snapping into said annular groove, said tab being able to slide in said annular groove when the connector element and the housing are assembled, so that the connector element is free to rotate with respect to the housing, around an axis of rotation linked to the housing.

  • FIG. 4 is a schematic and partial view, in section along IV-IV, of the device of FIG. 3, and
  • Figure 5 shows schematically and partially, in isolation, the locking member of the support member.

On a représenté, sur la figure 1, un dispositif de connexion électrique coaxial 1 conforme à l'invention, comportant un élément de connecteur coaxial 2 et un élément de support 3.FIG. 1 shows a coaxial electrical connection device 1 according to the invention, comprising a coaxial connector element 2 and a support 3.

Ce dispositif 1 permet d'assurer la connexion d'un câble coaxial, non représenté, à une embase, non représentée, fixée sur un panneau.This device 1 ensures the connection of a coaxial cable, not shown, to a base, not shown, fixed to a panel.

L'élément de connecteur 2 comporte un corps 4 coudé à angle droit, définissant des première et deuxième parties tubulaires 5 et 6, cylindriques de révolution d'axes respectifs X et Y, perpendiculaires. Ces parties 5 et 6 se raccordent l'une à l'autre par l'intermédiaire d'un coude 7 présentant une forme extérieure généralement parallélépipédique. Ce coude 7 comporte à l'arrière une ouverture fermée par un bouchon 16.The connector element 2 comprises a body 4 bent at a right angle, defining first and second tubular parts 5 and 6, cylindrical of axis revolution respective X and Y, perpendicular. These parts 5 and 6 are connected to each other by through a bend 7 having an outer shape generally cuboid. This elbow 7 has at the rear an opening closed by a plug 16.

La première partie tubulaire 5 reçoit un élément de contact coaxial 8 constitué d'un conducteur externe 9, d'un isolant 10 et d'un conducteur central 11, l'isolant 10 étant maintenu dans le conducteur externe 9 par déformation locale de la paroi de ce conducteur externe 9, dans le fond d'une gorge 12 de ce dernier.The first tubular part 5 receives a coaxial contact element 8 constituted an external conductor 9, an insulator 10 and a central conductor 11, the insulator 10 being held in the external conductor 9 by local deformation of the wall of this conductor external 9, in the bottom of a groove 12 of the latter.

La deuxième partie tubulaire 6 est destinée à recevoir un câble coaxial dont le contact central est brasé avec le contact central 11. Ce câble coaxial est mis en place sur la partie tubulaire 6 par sertissage au moyen d'un manchon 15.The second tubular part 6 is intended to receive a coaxial cable, the central contact is soldered with central contact 11. This coaxial cable is placed on the tubular part 6 by crimping by means of a sleeve 15.

La partie tubulaire 5 comporte sur sa surface extérieure une gorge annulaire 20 dont le rôle est décrit plus loin. Cette gorge 20 présente une section transversale rectangulaire et est délimitée, à l'avant, par un rebord 21. Ce dernier comporte une rainure annulaire 22 dirigée vers l'avant de la partie tubulaire 5 et définit une paroi mince 29 apte à être rabattue sur le conducteur externe 9 pour bloquer ce dernier dans le corps 4. The tubular part 5 has on its outer surface an annular groove 20 whose role is described below. This groove 20 has a cross section rectangular and is delimited at the front by a rim 21. The latter has a groove annular 22 directed towards the front of the tubular part 5 and defines a thin wall 29 suitable for be folded down on the external conductor 9 to block the latter in the body 4.

L'élément de support 3 comporte un boítier 25 définissant un logement intérieur 26 destiné à recevoir la partie tubulaire 5 et l'élément de contact 8. Ce boítier 25 est réalisé d'un seul tenant, par exemple par moulage d'une matière plastique, et présente une forme extérieure généralement parallélépipédique.The support element 3 comprises a housing 25 defining a housing interior 26 intended to receive the tubular part 5 and the contact element 8. This housing 25 is made in one piece, for example by molding a plastic material, and has a generally parallelepiped shape.

Ce boítier 25 comporte une patte élastiquement déformable 27 présentant une saillie 28 dirigée vers le logement 26. Cette saillie 28 est destinée à s'engager dans la gorge annulaire 20 précitée, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3 notamment. La saillie 28 comporte, à l'avant, un flanc incliné 28a permettant à la patte 27 de franchir le rebord 21 et, à l'arrière, un flanc droit 28b s'opposant au retrait de cette patte 27 de la gorge 20, lorsque les éléments de connecteur et de support sont assemblés.This housing 25 has an elastically deformable tab 27 having a projection 28 directed towards the housing 26. This projection 28 is intended to engage in the groove annular 20 above, as can be seen in Figure 3 in particular. Projection 28 comprises, at the front, an inclined flank 28a allowing the tab 27 to cross the rim 21 and, at the rear, a straight flank 28b opposing the withdrawal of this tab 27 from the groove 20, when the connector and support elements are assembled.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4 notamment, le logement 26 présente une section transversale généralement circulaire adaptée à la partie tubulaire 5. Ainsi, lorsque l'élément de connecteur 2 est assemblé avec l'élément de support 3, l'élément de connecteur 2 peut tourner librement autour de l'axe de rotation X, la saillie 28 de la patte 27 étant mobile librement dans la gorge 20.As can be seen in Figure 4 in particular, the housing 26 has a generally circular cross section adapted to the tubular part 5. Thus, when the connector element 2 is assembled with the support element 3, the connection element connector 2 can rotate freely around the axis of rotation X, the projection 28 of the tab 27 being freely movable in the groove 20.

Dans l'exemple décrit, le boítier 25 comporte une paroi supérieure 30 reliée au reste du boítier 25 par un voile de matière 31, cette paroi supérieure étant traversée à l'arrière par un orifice 32.In the example described, the housing 25 has an upper wall 30 connected to the rest of the housing 25 by a web of material 31, this upper wall being crossed at the rear by an orifice 32.

Cet orifice 32, de section carrée, est destiné à recevoir par encliquetage un relief de l'embase sur laquelle vient se fixer l'élément de support 3.This orifice 32, of square section, is intended to receive by snap-fastening a relief of the base on which the support element 3 is fixed.

La paroi 30 peut basculer autour du voile de matière 31 de manière à, d'une part, permettre à sa partie arrière traversée par l'orifice 32 de se soulever lors de l'introduction du relief de l'embase dans cet orifice 32 et, d'autre part, permettre à un opérateur d'appuyer sur sa partie avant 35 de manière à relever cette partie arrière permettant le retrait de l'orifice 32 du relief de l'embase.The wall 30 can tilt around the web of material 31 so as to hand, allow its rear part through which the orifice 32 to rise when the introduction of the relief of the base in this orifice 32 and, on the other hand, allow a operator to press on its front part 35 so as to raise this rear part allowing the withdrawal of the orifice 32 of the relief of the base.

La partie arrière de la paroi 30 est surmontée d'une paroi de protection 36.The rear part of the wall 30 is surmounted by a protective wall 36.

L'élément de support 3 comporte en outre un élément de verrouillage 40, représenté isolément à la figure 5, permettant d'empêcher le retrait de l'élément de connecteur 2 du boítier 25 lorsqu'ils sont assemblés. Cet élément de verrouillage 40 présente une face frontale 41 traversée par un orifice 42 dont un bord 43, à gauche sur la figure 5, est demi-circulaire de centre O, et un autre bord 44, à droite sur la figure 5 est sensiblement demi-circulaire de centre O'. The support element 3 further comprises a locking element 40, shown in isolation in Figure 5, to prevent the removal of the element connector 2 of the housing 25 when assembled. This locking element 40 has a front face 41 crossed by an orifice 42 including an edge 43, on the left on the figure 5, is semicircular with center O, and another edge 44, on the right in figure 5 is substantially semicircular with center O '.

Le cercle définissant le bord 43 présente un rayon supérieur au cercle définissant le bord 44, le rayon du premier cercle étant adapté à l'introduction de la première partie tubulaire 5. Ces bords 43 et 44 se raccordent par l'intermédiaire de bords rectilignes 45.The circle defining the edge 43 has a radius greater than the circle defining the edge 44, the radius of the first circle being adapted to the introduction of the first tubular part 5. These edges 43 and 44 are connected by means of edges straight 45.

Cet élément de verrouillage 40 est mis en place transversalement à l'intérieur du logement 26, étant introduit dans le boítier 25 à travers deux ajours 50 réalisés dans les parois latérales du boítier 25.This locking element 40 is placed transversely inside of the housing 26, being introduced into the housing 25 through two openings 50 made in the side walls of the housing 25.

L'élément de verrouillage 40 est mobile entre une position de montage et une position de verrouillage.The locking element 40 is movable between an installation position and a locking position.

Dans la position de montage, le centre O se situe sur l'axe X de manière à ce qu'un opérateur puisse introduire l'élément de contact 8 à travers l'orifice 42 lors de la mise en place de l'élément de connecteur 2 dans le boítier 25.In the mounting position, the center O is located on the X axis so that an operator can introduce the contact element 8 through the orifice 42 during the fitting of the connector element 2 in the housing 25.

Après cette mise en place, on déplace l'élément de verrouillage 40 dans sa position de verrouillage de manière à ce que le centre O' se positionne sur l'axe X, la région pleine de l'élément de verrouillage 40 adjacente au bord 44 venant s'engager dans la gorge 12 de manière à empêcher un retrait dans une direction axiale de l'élément de connecteur 2 du boítier 25 tout en permettant une libre rotation de l'élément de connecteur 2.After this positioning, the locking element 40 is moved in its locking position so that the center O 'is positioned on the X axis, the solid region of the locking element 40 adjacent to the edge 44 which engages in the groove 12 so as to prevent withdrawal in an axial direction of the element connector 2 of the housing 25 while allowing free rotation of the connector element 2.

Après la mise en place de l'élément de connecteur 2 dans le boítier 25 et son verrouillage au moyen de l'élément de verrouillage 40, l'élément de connecteur 2 peut tourner librement par rapport au boítier 25 autour de l'axe X.After the establishment of the connector element 2 in the housing 25 and its locking by means of the locking element 40, the connector element 2 can rotate freely relative to the housing 25 around the X axis.
