Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation pour connecteur ou support de connecteur et en particulier, un dispositif de fixation pour connecteur qui ne nécessite plus l'usage d'outils spécifiques ou d'un système assemblé avec ressort.The present invention relates to a fastening device for connector or connector support and in particular, a fastener for connector which no longer requires the use of specific tools or a spring-assembled system.
La présente invention a également pour objet un support de fixation de connecteur comprenant le dispositif de fixation susmentionné.The present invention also relates to a connector mounting bracket comprising the aforementioned fixing device.
Dans de nombreux domaines, tels que l'aéronautique, l'informatique, l'emploi de connecteurs est courant, par exemple afin de relier des faisceaux de fils ou plus généralement deux dispositifs électroniques. De façon connue, un connecteur électrique comprend deux parties : une première partie d'enfichage ou embase et une deuxième partie d'enfichage ou fiche, aptes à être connectées électriquement.In many fields, such as aeronautics, computer science, the use of connectors is common, for example in order to connect bundles of wires or more generally two electronic devices. In known manner, an electrical connector comprises two parts: a first plugging part or base and a second plugging part or plug, able to be electrically connected.
Par exemple, dans l'état de la technique, afin de fixer une embase et une fiche à un panneau, il est nécessaire que le panneau présente une configuration particulière. Il doit en effet, présenter une ouverture ayant une forme, généralement sensiblement carré ou en forme de cercle, apte à pouvoir coopérer avec l'une des faces de l'embase qui vient s'emboîter dans ladite ouverture. Afin de fixer l'embase du connecteur, le panneau comprend un encliquetage ou des orifices destinés à recevoir des moyens de fixation comme des vis/rondelles/écrous. Ces orifices sont disposés aux quatre coins de l'ouverture.For example, in the state of the art, in order to attach a base and a plug to a panel, it is necessary that the panel has a particular configuration. It must in fact have an opening having a shape, generally substantially square or in the form of a circle, capable of cooperating with one of the faces of the base which is fitted into said opening. In order to fix the base of the connector, the panel comprises a snap or holes for receiving fastening means such as screws / washers / nuts. These orifices are arranged at the four corners of the opening.
Par conséquent, avec un tel système, la mise en place de connecteurs requiert une découpe de panneau préalable qui en outre est complexe. De plus, les connecteurs sont souvent utilisés en masse, c'est-à-dire qu'un panneau est destiné généralement à porter plusieurs connecteurs. Ainsi, avec un dispositif tel que décrit ci-dessus, il devient laborieux de mettre en place des connecteurs dans des espaces étroits.Therefore, with such a system, the implementation of connectors requires a prior panel cutting which is also complex. In addition, the connectors are often used in mass, that is to say, a panel is generally intended to carry several connectors. Thus, with a device as described above, it becomes difficult to set up connectors in narrow spaces.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation connu de l'art antérieur, il se peut que le panneau présente au lieu d'une ouverture destinée à recevoir une face de l'embase, deux ou plusieurs orifices aptes à recevoir un connecteur présentant trois points d'attache. Au moins un desdits points d'attache du connecteur présente un ressort afin de fixer plus aisément le connecteur au panneau.In another embodiment known from the prior art, it is possible for the panel to present, instead of an opening intended to receive a face of the base, two or more orifices capable of receiving a connector having three points of contact. attached. At least one of said connector attachment points has a spring to more easily attach the connector to the panel.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la
La paroi 4a est plus particulièrement illustrée sur la
La paroi 4a comporte également au niveau de l'ouverture 15 et plus particulièrement au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure de l'ouverture 15, un clip de fixation 14. Ce clip de fixation 14 est destiné à servir de butée à un encliquetage 35 présent sur le support de connecteur 31, tel que représenté sur la
La paroi 4a peut en outre présenter quatre orifices 4d disposés au niveau des coins de l'ouverture 15 sensiblement en forme de carré. Ces orifices 4d servent à recevoir éventuellement des moyens de fixation comme des clous/vis/écrous/rondelles. Toutefois, ces orifices ne sont pas indispensables à la présente invention.The wall 4a may further have four
La paroi 4b est illustrée sur les
La paroi 4b comporte également au niveau de son autre extrémité, c'est-à-dire celle non reliée à la paroi 4a, des orifices 8. Ces orifices 8 sont disposés plus particulièrement sur les côtés et dans l'épaisseur de la paroi 4b. Ces orifices 8 sont aptes à recevoir un axe X, lequel est parallèle à l'axe passant par les crochets 2a et 2b.The

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de fixation 1 pour connecteur sur un panneau d'un support de fixation de connecteur 20 va maintenant être décrit en référence aux
Le dispositif de fixation 1 est d'abord fixé au panneau 30 par les deux crochets 2a et 2b. Pour cela, la base 4 est légèrement inclinée par rapport au panneau 30 de manière à ce que les crochets 2a et 2b s'engagent dans les trous 32a et 32b prévus à cet effet. Ensuite, la base 4 est basculée sur le panneau 30 de manière à ce que sa paroi 4b soit entièrement en contact avec le panneau 30.The fixing
Pendant ce temps, le verrou 5 est en position ouverte, tel que cela est représenté sur la
Enfin, le dispositif 1 est bloqué par l'ajout d'un connecteur ou d'un support de connecteur 31 sur ledit dispositif 1. Ce support de connecteur 31 présente de manière standard, une collerette 34 apte à venir bloquer en rotation le verrou 5, un encliquetage 35 apte à venir s'encliqueter dans le clip de fixation 14 positionné au niveau de l'extrémité supérieure de l'ouverture 15 et dans le clip de fixation formé par le rebord 9 et la patte 10. Par conséquent, le connecteur empêche toute rotation du verrou 5 autour de son axe X et le verrou 5 reste en position verrouillé.Finally, the
Afin de démonter le dispositif de fixation 1, il sera par la suite nécessaire de libérer le verrou 5. Pour cela, il est impératif d'ôter le connecteur ou le support de connecteur 31 afin de libérer le verrou 5. Un simple tournevis par exemple suffit à déboîter le dispositif de fixation 1 du panneau en l'insérant dans le trou 13 du verrou 5 et en s'en servant comme levier. Ensuite, le verrou 5 est basculé vers le haut par pivotement autour de l'axe X et son crochet 3 est désengagé du panneau 30. Puis ensuite les crochets 2a et 2b sont désengagés.
