Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de verrouillage d'un module de connecteur dans un porte-module.The present invention relates to a locking device of a connector module in a module carrier.

Dans le domaine automobile notamment, il est connu de prévoir des modules porte-contacts électriques et de disposer ces modules dans des cadres, formant porte-modules, pourvus de systèmes d'aide à l'accouplement tels que des étriers mobiles de verrouillage avec un connecteur complémentaire. Un tel module est décrit dans le document DE-A-195 30 335.In the automotive field in particular, it is known to provide electrical contact carrier modules and to arrange these modules in frames, forming module holders, provided with coupling assistance systems such as movable locking brackets with a complementary connector. Such a module is described in DE-A-195 30 335.

Une telle disposition permet en particulier de pré-câbler les modules avec leurs contacts électriques et les faisceaux électriques auxquels ils sont raccordés puis de les monter dans leurs cadres de réception pour réaliser des boîtiers de connecteurs complets.Such an arrangement makes it possible in particular to pre-wire the modules with their electrical contacts and the electrical harnesses to which they are connected and then to mount them in their reception frames to make complete connector housings.

La présente invention concerne un boîtier de connecteur comportant un dispositif de verrouillage du module dans le cadre pour lequel l'étrier participe au verrouillage du module afin en particulier de positionner précisément le module par rapport au connecteur complémentaire.The present invention relates to a connector housing comprising a locking device of the module in the frame for which the stirrup participates in locking the module in particular to precisely position the module relative to the complementary connector.

Pour ce faire, l'invention concerne principalement un boîtier de connecteur comportant au moins un module porte-contacts, un cadre de réception de ce module et un étrier, d'aide à l'accouplement avec un connecteur complémentaire, manoeuvrable entre une position de désaccouplement et une position d'accouplement du boîtier avec le connecteur complémentaire, pour lequel l'étrier comporte des moyens de retenue du module dans une position de verrouillage du module dans le cadre.To do this, the invention mainly relates to a connector housing comprising at least one contact holder module, a receiving frame of this module and a stirrup, a coupling aid with a complementary connector, operable between a position of uncoupling and a coupling position of the housing with the complementary connector, wherein the bracket comprises means for retaining the module in a locking position of the module in the frame.

Les moyens de retenue du module peuvent notamment être agencés de telle sorte qu'ils sont actifs lorsque l'étrier est en position d'accouplement du boîtier avec le connecteur complémentaire et inactifs lorsque l'étrier est en position de désaccouplement.The retaining means of the module may in particular be arranged such that they are active when the stirrup is in the coupling position of the housing with the complementary connector and inactive when the stirrup is in the uncoupling position.

Avantageusement, le module et le cadre comportent des premiers moyens d'encliquetage complémentaires maintenant le module en position de verrouillage dans le cadre.Advantageously, the module and the frame comprise first complementary latching means holding the module in the locked position in the frame.

Plus particulièrement, le module et le cadre peuvent comporter des seconds moyens d'encliquetage complémentaires de maintien du module dans une position reculée de pré-montage du module dans le cadre.More particularly, the module and the frame may comprise second complementary latching means for holding the module in a retracted position for pre-mounting the module in the frame.

En mode de réalisation particulier, les premiers moyens d'encliquetage du module dans le cadre comportent un doigt ressort porté par le cadre et un premier élément de butée porté par le module.In particular embodiment, the first latching means of the module in the frame comprise a spring finger carried by the frame and a first stop element carried by the module.

Plus particulièrement, le doigt ressort peut coopérer avec un second élément de butée porté par le module pour réaliser les seconds moyens d'encliquetage.More particularly, the spring finger can cooperate with a second stop element carried by the module to make the second latching means.

L'étrier peut notamment être un étrier coulissant dans le cadre transversalement à une direction d'accouplement du boîtier avec le connecteur complémentaire, les moyens de retenue du module comprenant un rail transversal venant en appui sur un épaulement d'une nervure du module pour verrouiller le module dans le cadre.The stirrup may in particular be a stirrup sliding in the frame transversely to a coupling direction of the housing with the complementary connector, the module holding means comprising a transverse rail bearing on a shoulder of a rib of the module to lock the module in the frame.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux de l'invention, le module et l'étrier comportent des moyens complémentaires d'interdiction de manoeuvre de l'étrier, module hors-position de verrouillage.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the module and the stirrup comprise complementary means for prohibiting operation of the stirrup, module out-locking position.

Ces moyens complémentaires d'interdiction de manoeuvre de l'étrier sont avantageusement constitués par ladite nervure et une arête frontale dudit rail.

Le boîtier 10 de connecteur représenté en figure 1 comporte au moins un module 2 porte-contacts 100. De tels modules porte-contacts sont fréquemment utilisés, notamment dans le cadre de réalisation de faisceaux automobiles pour rendre plus aisée la manipulation des boîtiers à câbler.The connector housing 10 shown in FIG. 1 comprises at least one contact carrier module 100. Such contact carrier modules are frequently used, in particular in the context of producing automobile harnesses to make it easier to handle the housings to be wired.

Par contre, lors de l'équipement d'un véhicule, il est souhaitable de prévoir des dispositifs de connexion pourvus d'aides à l'accouplement et notamment des dispositifs à levier ou à étrier pour faciliter le raccordement des connecteurs entre eux ou sur des équipements électroniques.On the other hand, when equipping a vehicle, it is desirable to provide connection devices provided with coupling aids and in particular lever or stirrup devices to facilitate the connection of the connectors to one another or to electronic equipment.

Selon l'exemple représenté, le dispositif d'aide à l'accouplement comporte un étrier 3 pourvu de rampes 13 destinées à la réception de pions 12 portés par un connecteur complémentaire 4 représenté en figure 4 pour permettre l'accouplement du boîtier 10 et du connecteur complémentaire 4.According to the example shown, the coupling assistance device comprises a stirrup 3 provided with ramps 13 intended to receive pins 12 carried by a complementary connector 4 shown in FIG. 4 to allow the coupling of the housing 10 and the complementary connector 4.

L'étrier 3 coulisse dans un cadre 1 de réception du module 2 et est manoeuvrable entre une position de désaccouplement du boîtier 10 avec le connecteur complémentaire 4 pour laquelle les pions 12 sont dégagés des rampes 13 et une position d'accouplement du boîtier 10 avec le connecteur 4 complémentaire pour laquelle les pions 12 sont reçus au fond des rampes 13.The stirrup 3 slides in a frame 1 for receiving the module 2 and is operable between a position of uncoupling the housing 10 with the complementary connector 4 for which the pins 12 are disengaged from the ramps 13 and a coupling position of the housing 10 with the complementary connector 4 for which the pins 12 are received at the bottom of the ramps 13.

Le module 2 est reçu dans le cadre 1 et peut être positionné dans une position de pré-montage représentée en figures 2 et 4 et enfoncé dans le cadre 1 dans une position de verrouillage représentée notamment en figure 5.The module 2 is received in the frame 1 and can be positioned in a pre-assembly position shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 and pushed into the frame 1 in a locking position shown in particular in FIG. 5.

Pour maintenir le module 2 en position de verrouillage dans le cadre 1 le module 2 et le cadre 1 comportent des premiers moyens 8, 15 d'encliquetage complémentaires maintenant le module en position de verrouillage dans le cadre. Ces moyens sont constitués de doigts ressort 8 ou linguet sur le cadre et de premières butées 15 sur le module 2. Les doigts ressort comportent une face 8a d'appui contre les butées 15 s'opposant au retrait du module. Selon l'exemple deux premières butées sont disposées sur des faces latérales externes du module et deux doigts sont disposés sur des faces internes du cadre en regard desdites faces latérales.To keep the module 2 in the locking position in the frame 1, the module 2 and the frame 1 comprise first complementary locking means 8, 15 holding the module in the locked position in the frame. These means consist of spring fingers 8 or latch on the frame and first stops 15 on the module 2. The spring fingers comprise a face 8a bearing against the stops 15 opposing the removal of the module. According to the example, two first stops are arranged on external lateral faces of the module and two fingers are arranged on internal faces of the frame facing said lateral faces.

Pour maintenir le module 2 en position de pré-montage dans le cadre 1 le module et le cadre comportent des seconds moyens 8, 9 d'encliquetage complémentaires de maintien du module dans une position reculée de pré-montage du module dans le cadre. Ces seconds moyens comprennent les doigts ressort 8 et des secondes butée 9 positionnées sur les faces latérales du module en avant des premières butées par rapport à la face d'accouplement 14 du module avec le connecteur complémentaire 4.To hold the module 2 in the pre-assembly position in the frame 1, the module and the frame comprise second complementary locking means 8, 9 for holding the module in a retracted position for pre-mounting the module in the frame. These second means comprise the spring fingers 8 and second stops 9 positioned on the lateral faces of the module in front of the first stops with respect to the coupling face 14 of the module with the complementary connector 4.

Selon la présente invention, l'étrier 3 comporte des moyens 5 de retenue du module 2 dans une position de verrouillage du module 2 dans le cadre 1. Ces moyens de retenue agissent sur une surface du module telle qu'un épaulement sur des nervures 6 ou des pions du module et permettent d'appliquer la face d'accouplement 14 du module contre une face correspondante du connecteur complémentaire 4, ce, directement sous l'action de l'étrier 3. Ainsi, selon l'invention, le positionnement du module par rapport au connecteur complémentaire 4 n'est plus tributaires des dimensions et d'éventuels jeux de positionnement du module dans le cadre mais est directement obtenu par l'appui de l'étrier sur le module lors de l'engagement des pions 12 du connecteur complémentaire dans les rampes 13 de l'étrier. En outre aucune perte d'effort d'insertion sur les contacts portés par le module et par le connecteur complémentaire due à un éventuel manque de rigidité du cadre n'est à craindre puisque selon l'invention l'étrier appuie directement sur le module.According to the present invention, the stirrup 3 comprises means 5 for retaining the module 2 in a locking position of the module 2 in the frame 1. These retaining means act on a surface of the module such as a shoulder on the ribs 6 or pins of the module and allow to apply the coupling face 14 of the module against a corresponding face of the complementary connector 4, this, directly under the action of the stirrup 3. Thus, according to the invention, the positioning of the module relative to the complementary connector 4 is no longer dependent on the dimensions and possible sets of positioning of the module in the frame but is directly obtained by the support of the bracket on the module when engaging the pins 12 of the complementary connector in the ramps 13 of the stirrup. In addition no loss of insertion force on the contacts carried by the module and the additional connector due to a possible lack of rigidity of the frame is to be feared since according to the invention the caliper bears directly on the module.

Par contre, pour permettre l'insertion du module dans le cadre, les moyens de retenue sont inactifs lorsque l'étrier est en position de désaccouplement c'est à dire qu'ils sont désengagés .By cons, to allow insertion of the module in the frame, the retaining means are inactive when the stirrup is in the uncoupling position that is to say they are disengaged.

Comme vu précédemment, l'étrier 3 est un étrier qui coulisse dans le cadre transversalement à une direction d'accouplement du boîtier avec le connecteur complémentaire. Pour que l'étrier appuie sur le module lors de l'accouplement du boîtier 10 avec le connecteur complémentaire 4, les moyens 5 de retenue du module comprennent deux rails transversaux 5 venant en appui sur les épaulements 7 des nervures 6 du module 2. Ainsi, l'étrier verrouille le module 2 dans le cadre 1 et appuie directement le module sur le connecteur complémentaire 4.As seen above, the stirrup 3 is a stirrup which slides in the frame transversely to a coupling direction of the housing with the complementary connector. So that the caliper presses on the module when coupling the housing 10 with the complementary connector 4, the means 5 for retaining the module comprise two transverse rails 5 resting on the shoulders 7 of the ribs 6 of the module 2. Thus , the caliper locks the module 2 in the frame 1 and directly presses the module on the complementary connector 4.

Lorsque l'éther est en position d'attente ou de désaccouplement du boîtier avec un connecteur complémentaire, comme schématisé en figures 1 et 2 et en figure 6 ou seuls le module et l'étrier sont représentés, le module peut être inséré dans le cadre, les rails 5 de l'étrier sont écartés du parcours des nervures 6 lors du passage du module de la position de pré-montage à la position de verrouillage. Par contre, si l'étrier est hors de la position d'attente, par exemple dans une position intermédiaire entre la position d'attente et la position d'accouplement, le rail 5 empêche de monter le module dans le cadre.When the ether is in the standby or uncoupling position of the housing with a complementary connector, as shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 and in FIG. 6 where only the module and the stirrup are shown, the module can be inserted into the frame , the rails 5 of the caliper are spaced apart from the path of the ribs 6 during the passage of the module from the pre-mounting position to the locking position. On the other hand, if the caliper is out of the waiting position, for example in an intermediate position between the waiting position and the coupling position, the rail 5 prevents mounting the module in the frame.

De même, lorsque le module est positionné dans le cadre, une manoeuvre de l'étrier de la position d'attente vers la position de verrouillage n'est pas possible tant que le module n'est pas en position de verrouillage. En effet, si par exemple le module est dans la position de pré-montage ou dans une position intermédiaire entre la position de pré-montage et la position de verrouillage, la nervure 6 se trouve sur le chemin d'une arête frontale 11 du rail et bloque la manoeuvre de l'étrier.Similarly, when the module is positioned in the frame, a movement of the bracket from the waiting position to the locking position is not possible until the module is in the locking position. Indeed, if for example the module is in the pre-assembly position or in an intermediate position between the pre-assembly position and the locking position, the rib 6 is in the path of a front edge 11 of the rail and blocks the operation of the stirrup.

Par contre comme représenté en figure 7, lorsque le module est en position de verrouillage, les rails 5 de l'étrier peuvent coulisser sur les épaulements des nervures 6.On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, when the module is in the locking position, the rails 5 of the stirrup can slide on the shoulders of the ribs 6.

Ainsi, le dispositif selon l'invention permet une grande précision de positionnement du module 2 par rapport au connecteur complémentaire 4, une excellente transmission des efforts appliqués à l'étrier 3 sur le module 2 lors de l'accouplement avec un connecteur complémentaire 4 et une sécurité de fonctionnement puisque l'étrier 3 ne peut être manoeuvré de la position de désaccouplement vers la position d'accouplement si le module n'est pas dans la position de verrouillage, mais est dans une position intermédiaire entre la position de pré-montage et la position de verrouillage.Thus, the device according to the invention allows a high positioning accuracy of the module 2 with respect to the complementary connector 4, an excellent transmission of the forces applied to the stirrup 3 on the module 2 during of the coupling with a complementary connector 4 and a safety of operation since the stirrup 3 can not be operated from the uncoupling position to the coupling position if the module is not in the locking position, but is in an intermediate position between the pre-assembly position and the locking position.
