Definitions

  • the headlamps use a low-voltage power source housed in a housing separate from the lamp, and connected to it by two power leads connected to the positive and negative poles of the source.
  • the source housing is generally attached to the back of the user's head, being carried by a resilient strap attachment.
  • the electrical connection is made via connectors inside the housing. The connection and disconnection operations are nevertheless complicated when replacing the batteries, and require particular care when setting up the connectors.
  • the document US 4420216 describes a coaxial connector device for connecting an external microphone to a recorder. An elastic blade holds the connector plug in the plugged position.
  • the document US 6132234 refers to a coaxial connector having contact elements, and locking fingers carried by the connector body.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a safe and reliable multiple connection device for a low-voltage portable receiver for quickly connecting and disconnecting the power source or a support board.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the first connector comprises a pair of female contacts overmolded by an insulating envelope carrying a snap-engaging retaining element with a locking member associated with the second connector, which is provided with a pair male contacts arranged in a housing of the energy source housing, the locking member of the second connector being fixed on the housing above the housing.
  • the locking member may be formed by a pivoted lever biased by a spring to a locking position to lock the contacts in the plugged position.
  • Another way of connecting the connectors can be performed on a support plate, which comprises a dovetail profile-shaped mounting rail, and a central opening of form conjugated to that of the retaining element.
  • the translational guidance is provided by a slide of the casing of the energy source sliding along the rail of the plate. This results in axial centering of the male contacts of the second connector on the female contacts of the first connector already installed on the plate.
  • the electrical connection of the receiver is made, and at the same time the mechanical fixing of the energy source on the plate.
  • an electrical connection device of a portable receiver is composed of a power supply connection 10 to be connected to a DC power source 11.
  • the portable receiver (not shown) is constituted by an electric light bulb or light-emitting diode lamp, and the electrical supply connection of this receiver comprises a sheath 12 enclosing two insulated conducting wires. one of the other.
  • the DC power source 11 comprises a housing 13 separate from the receiver, and enclosing accumulators 18 or low voltage batteries. The housing 13 is closed by a removable cover 25.
  • the end of the electrical connection 10 is equipped with a first connector 14 encapsulated in a casing 15 of molded insulating material, on which is fixed a retaining element 16.
  • the first connector 14 comprises a pair of insulated tubular female contacts 17 one of the other by the insulating material of the casing 15.
  • the lateral flanks of the casing 15 are provided with a pair of grooves 19 ( figure 4 ) for longitudinal guiding in translation of the first connector 14 during the connection phase with a second connector 20 associated with the energy source 11.
  • the second connector 20 is provided with a pair of male contacts 21 of the banana plug type intended to engage in the female contacts 17 of the first connector 14.
  • a locking member 22 is associated with the second connector 20 by snapping into a notch 37 of the retaining element 16 of the first connector 14 at the end of the insertion stroke.
  • the locking member 22 is formed by a lever pivotally mounted about an axis 23 secured to the housing 13, and comprising a latching lug 24 at the opposite end.
  • a spring 26, for example of the torsion type, is threaded on the axis 25, and urges the lever of the locking member 22 towards the locking position.
  • the housing 27 of the housing 13 is additionally equipped with translation guide means for centering the male and female contacts 21, 17 in the plug-in direction of the connectors 20, 14.
  • the guide means comprise a slideway 28 arranged at level of the locking member 22, and a pair of ribs 29 disposed in a horizontal plane between the two male contacts 21.
  • the casing 15 of the first connector 14 is projecting with respect to the inputs of the female contacts 17, and is provided with a front sealing lip 30 which comes into engagement with an abutment 31 of the housing 13 at the end racking stroke ( figure 9 ) in the second connector 20.
  • the lip 30 is directly molded with the casing 15, and seals to isolate the two polarities from one another, avoiding any electrolysis effect between the contacts 21.
  • the first connector 14 of the electrical connection 10 is connected directly to the second connector 20 of the energy source 11. It is sufficient to move the first connector 14 in the direction of the arrow F1 to achieve in one movement the electrical connection of the contacts male and female 21, 17, and the mechanical locking of the locking member 22 on the retaining element 16.
  • the centering of the female and male contacts of the first and second connectors 14, 20 is provided through the longitudinal guide grooves 19 of the casing 15 along the ribs 29 of the housing 27.
  • the disconnection of the energy source 11, for example to replace the batteries, or to charge the accumulators 18, is done manually by firstly rotating the locking member 22 to an unlocked position by escaping the pin 24 of the notch 37, followed by removal of the contacts 21, 17.
  • the two connectors 14, 20 are connected to a support plate 32, which comprises a dovetail shaped profile rail 33 and a central aperture 34 of a shape conjugate to that of the element.
  • the platen 32 is made by plastic molding, and comprises a stop 35 inside the opening 34.
  • the ends of the body of the plate 32 includes loops 36 for the passage of elastics or straps. receiver attachment.
  • the disconnection is carried out as in the previous case after prior release of the locking member 22.
  • the male contacts 21 of the second connector 20 and the locking member 22 extend parallel to the inside of a housing 27 of the housing 13 of the energy source 11, said housing having a closed U-shaped longitudinal slot shape at one end, and open at the opposite end to allow insertion of the first connector 14.
