Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical field of electrical connection systems from hermaphroditic contacts.
  • the figure 1 represents, according to the prior art, the hermaphrodite contact which thus comprises a body (1) partially hollow having, at the front end, two opposite and parallel branches (1a) between which it will be possible to introduce and engage the branches of another contact of the same type to do the link.
  • the hollow body is capable of receiving the stripped portion of the electrical conductor, a ring (1b) is overmolded in the central part of the contact and has a shoulder (1b1) to be correctly positioned on the receiving ring (2) of a multitude of contacts of the aforementioned type constituting the connector device.
  • the ring is thus arranged with a plurality of housings receiving the hermaphrodite contacts aforementioned, the housing being arranged with flats complementary to the configuration of the rings (1b) above.
  • a first drawback lies in the mounting of the contacts on the ring of the connector device.
  • the installation is carried out as follows.
  • the operator must pass the electrical wires (F) through each receiving opening formed in the ring (2) and overflow them on the other side with always the risk that the ends of the wires are released in the meantime, then strip each wire .
  • the crimping (1c) of the body is then proceeded with, in principle, maintaining the wire or electrical cable in the contact, and finally repositioning the assembly in the ring.
  • This implementation remains impractical, requires a relatively large clearance of the contacts relative to the ring to proceed one by one to different crimps depending on the number of contacts. This requires a certain skill for the introduction of contacts in their housing in the ring. In case of wiring error, no disassembly and change of contact position is possible without cutting the wires.
  • Another disadvantage also lies in the introduction of new standards, particularly in the railway field with respect to the requirement of using specific crimping pliers.
  • the applicant's approach was therefore to seek a new design of hermaphrodite contacts and corollary receptor connection rings to improve and facilitate the conditions and operations of mounting rings by reconsidering the operating phases of implementation in the connection ring.
  • the applicant's approach has been to focus on improving and making easier the assembly and disassembly of the hermaphrodite contacts with respect to their support, namely the connecting ring.
  • the hermaphrodite contact for an electrical connector device of the type comprising a tubular body receiving at one of its ends the stripped portion of an electric wire and, in its median part, a positioning ring in a connecting ring and, in its front part, two branches parallel and spaced to receive, by coupling, a contact of the same type is remarkable in that the contact is made in the form of a single body in the same material comprising, in its central part, a positioning ring in the connecting ring, and arranged with a positioning and guiding flat, and in its front part, the body is extended by two branches having an elastic capacity of deformation at their end to be closer against each other in the operating phase of assembly, and in that the end profile of these branches is established under harpoon shape constituting an anchoring zone by notches with, at the end, a shape cone shaped nose, and in that in its rear part, the body of the contact has a cylindrical tubular extension receiving the stripped end of the electrical wire, and in that, at the rear end,
  • the hermaphrodite contact according to the invention is referenced by (10). It is made in the form of a body single in the same material comprising, in its central part, a ring (10a) for positioning in the connection ring (11), and arranged with two flats (10a1) for positioning and guiding.
  • the body is extended by two branches (10b - 10c) identical and parallel to each other leaving a space (e) between them corresponding to their width to allow the establishment of a complementary contact in a hermaphrodite assembly.
  • the two branches (10b - 10c) have an elastic capacity of deformation at their end to approach one another in the assembly operating phase.
  • the end profile (10b1) (10c1) of these branches is established in the form of a harpoon thus constituting an anchoring zone by notches (10b2) (10c2) with, in the end, a shape in nose (10b3) (10c3) conical configuration.
  • the body (10) of the contact has a cylindrical tubular extension (10d) in which will be engaged the stripped end of the electric wire (F).
  • the body has a ring (10e) of diameter greater than that of said intermediate extension (10d).
  • the zone defined by said extension thus constitutes the crimping zone for connecting the electrical wire and the contact. This zone is thus suitably delimited and, after the crimping operation, the bulge obtained by the deformation of the material remains in the plane defined between the rings (10a) (10e) without overflow and thus without discomfort during assembly / disassembly.
  • the crimping of the electric wire is carried out beforehand on the contact considered, and it is the assembly which is introduced from the rear into the ring (11) of connection.
  • the latter is arranged internally with a channel (11a) allowing the introduction of the contact (10) and then has an inner shoulder (11b) of larger section defining the support and centering zone of the contact attachment portion, then a cylindrical inner chamber (11c) of larger section.
  • the channel (11a) has a diametrical section such that the introduction of the contact requires the approximation of the two branches (10b) (10c) by elastic deformation.
  • the two branches (10b) (10c) of the contact return to their initial position by elastic expansion and come, by their harpoon shape, hook on the shoulder (11b) while the nose-shaped end (10b3) (10c3) is in the chamber (11c) of larger section without outflanking the outside of the ring (11).
  • the contact (10) according to the invention is therefore perfectly maintained. It is possible, to improve the resistance of the contacts in the ring, to provide the addition of tubular sheaths of metallic material around the channel (11a) to allow a metal / metal contact with the contact legs (10). These shirts are inserted during the manufacture of the ring (11). Their upper end edge, by their thickness, constitutes the support of the harpooned part of the contacts.
  • the tool (P) comprises a notched body (15) in which the contact and the wire are housed.
  • the body is associated with a gripping means (16).
  • the tapered end (15a) of the body is supported on the rear ring (10e) of the contact for insertion into the connecting ring, until introduction into the chamber (11c) of the ring (11).
  • Tool (0) includes a tubular body (14) guided by a tube (13) with limited displacement capacity against an integrated return means. This body is associated with a gripping means (17).
  • This tool (O) makes it possible to tighten the two branches (10b) (10c) by elastic deformation and thus release the notches of the harpoon forms established on said branches (10b) (10c) with respect to the shoulder (11b) and allowing then, without difficulty, the removal of the contact from behind.
  • connection device arranged with connection rings complementary profile (11) and (17) but both including the particular configurations of housing hermaphroditic contacts described by the invention.
