Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plug for preserving the tightness of waterproof connectors under equipped with contacts and cables, which is installed in the free cells of these connectors.
  • Plugs for insertion into free cells of sealed electrical connector housings exist and the Figure 1A represents such a cap of the prior art.
  • the cap according to this figure is a plug made of cylindrical thermoplastic material which comprises annular shoulders for retaining the stopper, coming to be positioned on either side of the sealing grommet disposed at the rear of the connector casing during the introduction. plug in the cell.
  • the present invention aims to provide a plug with a good seal over time, easy insertion and a secure hold in the cell of the connector housing.
  • the present invention provides a plug according to claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a connector housing according to claim 8.
  • the retention is obtained by an elastic deformation of the rear part of the stopper.
  • it could be obtained by elastic deformation of the rear passage of the housing.
  • the rear passage is an opening preferentially in a rear grid of passage of the cables and retention of the grommet.
  • the opening of the rear gate and the rear part of the cap are of different sections to make point contact areas between the cap surface and the wall of the opening of the gate.
  • the present invention relates to a sealing plug adapted to fit into a socket of connector housing, when it is not equipped with a contact and a cable connected to this contact.
  • FIG. 1A A cap A of the prior art is represented in Figure 1A .
  • This plug of thermoplastic material comprises two annular shoulders B, retaining the plug, coming; when the plug is inserted into the cell, positioned on either side of the sealing grommet 13 disposed at the rear of the connector housing 11 as shown in FIG. Figure 1B .
  • the correct positioning of the plug of the prior art is obtained when the shoulders are disposed abutting on either side of the lips of the grommet and the rear portion of the plug does not participate in its retention .
  • the cap If the cap is inserted with too much force, it can go too far, the rear annular shoulder of the cap passing between the lips of the grommet which reduces the seal between the cap and the grommet.
  • FIGS. Figures 2A, 2B and at the Figure 2C perspective side front part sealing and face.
  • the housing 11 of the connector is, according to the example, a housing for coupling with a complementary housing not shown and for receiving electrical contacts provided with cables coming out of the back of the housing as known elsewhere.
  • the plugs according to the invention serve to plug cells that are not equipped with cables and contacts so as to preserve the tightness of a sub-equipped connector.
  • the plug is applicable for example in the case of a sealed automotive connector designed to receive several beam cables including optional cables depending on the vehicle version.
  • cells of the connector are devoid of cables and contacts, this for the life of the vehicle and it is necessary to plug these empty cells.
  • the housing 11 seen in section in FIG. 2B comprises a front portion 11a for retaining the contacts, an intermediate portion 11b in a bowl in which a grommet-type seal 13 is housed and a rear portion constituted by a skirt receiving a grid 19 for maintaining the grommet.
  • the grid is an insert grid which fits into the housing above the grommet and closes the rear of the housing but it is possible to consider a grid part of a rear housing element or integral housing .
  • the plug 1 is inserted through the grid and has a front portion 12 sealing with the grommet 13 fitted to the rear of the housing 11.
  • the front portion 12 of the plug is smooth cylindrical and is inserted between the lips of the grommet 13 so as to achieve, with these lips, sealed barriers.
  • the cap further comprises a rear portion 14 defining a retention zone of the plug by clamping in a rear passage 15 of the connector housing and constituted by the holes of the grid, the clamping being obtained by elastic deformation of the rear portion 14 of the plug .
  • the tightening of the cap is between the inner wall of the rear passage 15 and the outer surface of the rear portion 14 of the cap.
  • the front portion 12 and the rear portion 14 are joined by a transition zone 16.
  • this transition zone comprises a recess so that the diameter of the rear portion 14 at the transition zone is greater than the diameter of the front portion 12 .
  • the rear portion 14 is made hollow to allow deformation of the plug in its portion in contact with the inner wall of the rear passage.
  • the rear portion 14 is generally conical in shape of increasing diameter from the transition zone 16. This conical general shape of the rear portion 14 of the plug allows a progressive growth of the clamping force of the plug as it penetrates the rear passage 15 extending the cell, so as not to oppose too much resistance to the insertion of the plug.
  • One of the advantages of the present solution is to dissociate the means providing the seal and the means achieving the retention of the plug.
  • the seal is made on the front part of the stopper and the insertion force and the retention of the stopper are made by the rear of the stopper.
  • an advantage of the invention is to allow to adapt the retention profile of the cap according to the profile of the rear passage and the characteristics of the rear wall.
  • Figures 6A to 6D present several possible variants of the invention adapted to profiles of rear passages of various cells.
  • the rear part of the plug 2, 3 is of circular section and at least the distal end of the rear portion 14 has grooves 17. According to the examples shown, two or four grooves are formed.
  • These grooves facilitate the crushing of the rear part of the plug during its introduction into a rear passage, in particular a cylindrical passage, they limit the insertion forces while providing a radial elastic return ensuring effective retention.
  • At least the distal end of the caps 4, 5 is oval.
  • the plug 5 is further provided with grooves 17.
  • Such caps are particularly useful for rectangular rear passages so as to limit the contact areas of the plug with the wall of the rear passage 15.
  • the rear portion 14 of the caps 6, 7, 8, 9 has, with respect to a form of revolution, bulges 18 directed outwards.
  • the caps of the Figure 6C are of triangular general section with three bulges for the cap according to the reference 6 and three grooves 17 and three bulges 18 for the cap according to the reference 7.
  • the caps 8, 9 of the Figure 6D have for their part four bulges, these bulges being separated by four grooves for the cap under the reference 9.
  • the rear passage 15 of the connector housing shown in FIG. Figure 2B is an opening of a rear grid 19 of the housing ensuring the retention of the grommet and guiding the cables at the output of the connector to prevent a cable does not laterally force the grommet and reduce the tightness of the connector.
  • the openings of this rear gate may have a shape adapted to pre-guide the contact during its introduction into the housing 11 or to perform a keying to require that the insertion of the contact is made only in one orientation.
  • the rear passage 15 and the rear portion 14 of the plug are each provided with contours of different shapes and adapted to achieve disjoint contact areas 20, 21, 22 between the outer surface of the plug and the wall surrounding the back passage in the grid.
  • the passage 15 has re-entrant corners 24 and 25.
  • the sectional view of the figure 4 represents in such a configuration the contact zone identified under the number 22 of the figure 5 .
  • the diametrically opposite portion of the plug is free of contact with the wall of the passage made in the grid 19.
  • the invention is not limited to the examples shown and in particular, the distal end of the rear part of the plug may be provided with a collar completely plugging the cell without departing from the scope of the invention.
