Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the general field of electrical connector assemblies of the type comprising a plug provided with primary contacts and a base provided with secondary contacts capable of cooperating with the primary contacts. More specifically, it relates to connector assemblies used in the aeronautical field, for example those fitted to electric thrust reverser control boxes, alternators, electric actuators or landing gear.
  • An electric thrust reverser control unit is intended to equip the thrust reversers of aeronautical nacelles.
  • a housing comprises an electronic computer which, associated with an electronic power amplifier and an electric motor, makes it possible to control the opening or the closing of the thrust reverser by means of electromechanical actuators.
  • This electrical control unit comprises electrical connector power or signal assemblies allowing it to be connected, on the one hand to different sensors of the thrust reverser, and on the other hand to the full authority control device of the aircraft (also called FADEC for Full Authority Digital Engine Control).
  • these electrical connector assemblies each comprise a plug provided with primary contacts and a base provided with secondary contacts capable of cooperating with the primary contacts.
  • the main object of the present invention is thus to overcome such a disadvantage by proposing a connector assembly provided with a protection device against pollution.
  • an electrical connector assembly comprising a valve fixed to the base and able to pivot between a closed position in which it obstructs access to the secondary contacts and an open position in which it releases access to the secondary contacts to enable connection.
  • the plug on the base and in accordance with the invention, an annular sleeve attached to an electric cable, connected to the plug and adapted to be moved between two extreme positions, a low position in which it covers the valve when the plug and the base are connected and a high position in which it releases access to the plug.
  • the valve is intended to protect the secondary contacts against the intrusion of pollutants when the plug of the connector assembly is disconnected from its base.
  • the sleeve it makes it possible to isolate the valve from any contact with the pollutants during its long periods in the open position (that is to say when the plug and the base are connected) and thus to guarantee a permanent closure " clean of the valve.
  • the sleeve also has a role of maintaining the valve when it is open position to avoid any damage related to vibration. In this way, the connector assembly is perfectly protected in all circumstances against pollution.
  • the valve is mounted on a pivot axis parallel to a transverse plane of the base so that, in the closed position, the valve is substantially parallel to the transverse plane of the base, and in the open position, the valve is substantially parallel to a longitudinal plane of the base, and a spring is wound around the pivot in such a way that the valve is held in its closed position in the absence of force exerted on it. Due to the presence of the spring, the valve closes the secondary contacts "automatically" as soon as the plug is disconnected from the base. The protection against pollution is thus reinforced.
  • the valve comprises a silicone seal on its internal face so as to ensure a sealed obstruction to the secondary contacts of the base when in its closed position.
  • the sleeve has a bell-shaped structure centered on a longitudinal axis of the plug with a removable fastening system at one of its ends to ensure its attachment to the electrical cable connected to the plug, the opposite end of the sleeve being open and free, and the sleeve is slidable along the electrical cable so as to move from one of its extreme positions to the other.
  • a sleeve has at its free end a rigid ring.
  • the sleeve has a retractable structure centered on a longitudinal axis of the plug with one end attached to the electrical cable connected to the plug, the opposite end of the sleeve being open and free, and the sleeve is able to retract on itself along the electrical cable so as to go from its low position to its high position.
  • the sleeve has a bellows shape centered on a longitudinal axis of the plug with one end attached to the electrical cable connected to the plug, the opposite end of the sleeve being open and free, and the sleeve is adapted to roll up on itself along the electrical cable so as to move from its low position to its high position.
  • the invention also relates to an aeronautical nacelle and a turbomachine comprising at least one electrical connector assembly as defined above.
  • the figures 1 , 2 and 3A to 3C schematically represent an electrical connector assembly according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the connector assembly consists of a plug 10 and a base (or base) 12.
  • the plug 10 is connected to an electric cable (or harness) 14.
  • the base 12 it is intended to be fixed on a wall 16 of an electrical box, for example an electrical box for controlling a thrust reverser used in the aeronautical field.
  • the plug 10 comprises a hollow body 18 of substantially cylindrical shape, of longitudinal axis XX and inside which are mounted one or more primary contacts 20.
  • the base 12 also comprises a hollow body 22 of substantially cylindrical shape, axially longitudinal YY and inside which are mounted one or more secondary contacts 24 adapted to cooperate with the primary contacts 20.
  • the primary contacts 20 are in the form of protruding longitudinal terminals and the secondary contacts 24 each have a hollow tubular shape for receiving a terminal.
  • any other type of primary and secondary contacts for establishing an electrical connection is possible.
  • the plug may also comprise a ring 26 slidably mounted around the cylindrical body 18 of the plug and provided with an internal thread, this ring being screwed on an external thread 28 complementary to the body 22 of the base when the plug and the base are connected.
  • the connector assembly further comprises a valve 30 which is fixed to the base 12.
  • This valve 30 is able to pivot between a closed position in which it obstructs an access to the secondary contacts 24 ( figures 1 and 3A ) and an open position in which it releases access to the secondary contacts to enable the plug 10 to be connected to the base ( figures 2 , 3B and 3C ).
  • the valve 30 has a substantially planar lid shape of diameter at least equal to that of the cylindrical body 22 of the base 12.
  • the valve is mounted on a pivot 32 articulated about an axis 34 parallel to a transverse plane P of basement ( Figures 3A and 3B ).
  • the valve 30 in the closed position, the valve 30 is in a plane substantially parallel to the transverse plane P of the base and rests on the cylindrical body 22 of the base in order to close the latter ( figures 1 and 3A ).
  • the valve 30 in its open position, has rotated about 90 ° relative to its closed position and is therefore in a plane parallel to a longitudinal plane of the base so as to allow the connection of the plug on the base ( figures 2 , 3B and 3C ).
  • the passage from the closed position to the open position of the valve is done manually.
  • a spring 36 is wound around the pivot 32 of the valve 30 with one end fixed to the valve and the other end fixed to the base ( figures 1 , 2 and 3B ).
  • This spring is wound around the pivot 32 in such a way that at rest (that is to say in the absence of force exerted on the valve), it keeps the valve in the closed position.
  • the spring winds around the pivot 32 and exerts a force on the pivot tending to close the valve. In this way, the valve can not be accidentally left open when the plug 10 and the base 12 of the connector assembly are disconnected.
  • the valve 30 also comprises a silicone seal 38 on its internal face ( figure 1 ) to ensure, when in its closed position, a obstruction to the secondary contacts 24 of the base 12 which is perfectly sealed.
  • the connector assembly also comprises an annular sleeve 40 fixed to the electric cable 14, connected to the plug 10 and able to be moved between two extreme positions, a low position in which it covers the valve 30 when the plug 10 and the base 12 are connected to protect the latter against pollutants ( figures 2 and 3C ) and a high position in which it releases access to the plug 10 so as to allow disconnection of the connector assembly ( figures 1 , 3A and 3B ).
  • the sleeve 40 has a substantially conical bell-shaped structure made of a flexible or semi-rigid material, such as for example an elastomer.
  • the bell 40 is more particularly centered on the longitudinal axis X-X of the plug 10 and is slidable along the electric cable 14 so as to pass from one of its extreme positions to the other.
  • the bell 40 is held at one of its ends 42 on the electric cable 14 by means of a removable fastening system.
  • the fastening system may be a loosening collar 44.
  • the other end 46 of the bell it is open and free.
  • the diameter of the free end 46 of the bell is greater than that of its end 42 held around the cable so as to completely cover the valve 30 when the plug and the base are connected.
  • the free end 46 of the bell can advantageously come into contact with a ring 48 concentric with the body 22 of the base, fixed to the wall 16 and of diameter slightly less than the end. free 46 of the bell. Such a ring avoids inadvertent decentering of the bell relative to the connector assembly.
  • the operation of connecting the plug 10 to the base 12 is obvious from the foregoing.
  • the bell 40 is held fixed on the cable 14 in its high position thus giving access to the plug 10.
  • the valve 30 is pivoted from its closed position ( figures 1 and 3A ) to its open position and is held manually in this position to allow the socket to fit on the base ( figure 3B ).
  • the valve is released and thus comes to rest against the plug under the effect of the spring 36 ( figure 2 ).
  • the clamping collar 44 of the bell 40 is then loosened and the bell is slid along the cable 14 to its lower position, the free end 46 of the bell engaging around the ring 48 ( figures 2 and 3C ).
  • the clamp of the bell can be tightened again. As for the disconnection operation, it takes place in the opposite direction.
  • the sleeve 40 has at its free end 46 a ring 50 of rigid material (for example metal).
  • a ring 50 is intended to ensure rigidity to the cylindrical portion of the sleeve during its handling.
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B represent a connector assembly according to a second embodiment of the invention.
  • the plug 10, the base 12 and the valve 30 are identical to the first embodiment previously described.
