Description

La présente invention a pour objet un connecteur multicontacts utilisé notamment dans le domaine d'équipements embarqués à bord d'un aéronef.The present invention relates to a multicontact connector used in particular in the field of onboard equipment on board an aircraft.

On connaît déjà par le document FR 2 884 059 au nom de la demanderesse un ensemble de connexion comportant un premier boîtier et un deuxième boîtier apte à être assemblé avec le premier boîtier. Le deuxième boîtier comporte un corps de boîtier et un capot de verrouillage, mobile par rapport au corps de boîtier entre une position déverrouillée et une position verrouillée.We already know from the document FR 2,884,059 in the name of the applicant a connection assembly comprising a first housing and a second housing adapted to be assembled with the first housing. The second housing includes a housing body and a locking cap movable relative to the housing body between an unlocked position and a locked position.

Lorsque le capot de verrouillage est dans la position verrouillée, un tel ensemble présente une épaisseur relativement importante du fait de la présence de trois pièces superposées, à savoir le premier boîtier, le corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier et le capot de verrouillage. Un tel connecteur peut par conséquent présenter un encombrement relativement important.When the locking cap is in the locked position, such an assembly has a relatively large thickness due to the presence of three superposed parts, namely the first housing, the housing body of the second housing and the locking cap. Such a connector can therefore have a relatively large size.

Il existe par conséquent un besoin pour améliorer les connecteurs utilisés pour l'application aéronautique.There is therefore a need to improve the connectors used for the aeronautical application.

L'invention vise à répondre à ce besoin et y parvient grâce à un ensemble de connexion comportant :

  • un premier boîtier de connecteur multicontacts comportant au moins un élément de blocage en relief,
  • un deuxième boîtier de connecteur multicontacts apte à être assemblé, de préférence de manière amovible, avec le premier boîtier, le deuxième boîtier comportant un corps de boîtier s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal et un capot de verrouillage mobile par rapport au corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal entre une position verrouillée et une position déverrouillée, le capot de verrouillage comportant au moins une rampe de blocage dans laquelle l'élément de blocage en relief du premier boîtier peut coulisser lorsque le capot passe de la position déverrouillée vers la position verrouillée, de manière à ce que, lorsque le capot est en position verrouillée, la coopération de l'élément de blocage en relief avec la rampe de blocage solidarise les deux boîtiers ensemble dans une direction parallèle à l'axe longitudinal,
    l'ensemble de connexion étant caractérisé par le fait que le corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier présente sur sa surface extérieure au moins un décrochement correspondant sensiblement à l'épaisseur du capot de verrouillage pour recevoir le capot de verrouillage dans la position verrouillée de celui-ci.
The invention aims to meet this need and achieves this through a connection assembly comprising:
  • a first multicontact connector housing comprising at least one raised locking element,
  • a second multicontact connector housing adapted to be assembled, preferably removably, with the first housing, the second housing having a housing body extending along a longitudinal axis and a movable locking cover relative to the housing body of the housing; second housing perpendicular to the longitudinal axis between a locked position and an unlocked position, the locking cover having at least one locking ramp in which the raised locking element of the first housing is slidable when the cover moves from the unlocked position towards the locked position, so that, when the hood is in the locked position, the cooperation of the raised locking element with the locking ramp secures the two housings together in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis,
    the connection assembly being characterized in that the housing body of the second housing has on its outer surface at least one recess corresponding substantially to the thickness of the locking cap for receiving the locking cap in the locked position thereof this.

Avec un ensemble de connexion selon l'invention, l'encombrement est limité aux dimensions extérieures du premier boîtier et du capot de verrouillage, ce dernier se trouvant noyé dans le corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier, ce qui permet un gain en termes d'encombrement et de poids. L'invention permet également d'obtenir un ensemble de connexion protégé contre les interférences électromagnétiques de façon satisfaisante.With a connection assembly according to the invention, the space requirement is limited to the external dimensions of the first housing and the locking cover, the latter being embedded in the housing body of the second housing, which allows a gain in terms of clutter and weight. The invention also makes it possible to obtain a connection assembly protected against electromagnetic interference satisfactorily.

Le corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier présente avantageusement un décrochement sur au moins une face latérale, mieux sur chaque face latérale, et un décrochement sur la face supérieure, lesdits décrochements correspondant sensiblement à l'épaisseur dudit capot de verrouillage.The housing body of the second housing advantageously has a recess on at least one lateral face, better on each side face, and a recess on the upper face, said recesses substantially corresponding to the thickness of said locking cap.

Au sens de l'invention, on désigne par « face latérale du corps de boîtier » une face s'étendant selon l'axe longitudinal du corps de boîtier et différente de la face supérieure et de la face inférieure du corps de boîtier.Within the meaning of the invention, the term "side face of the housing body" means a face extending along the longitudinal axis of the housing body and different from the upper face and the lower face of the housing body.

Le fond d'une partie du décrochement d'une face latérale du corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier est avantageusement constitué par une ouverture ménagée dans ladite face latérale.The bottom of part of the recess of a side face of the housing body of the second housing is advantageously constituted by an opening in said side face.

Le corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier présente avantageusement sur sa surface intérieure au moins une rainure longitudinale, permettant le coulissement du ou des éléments de blocage en relief du premier boîtier lorsque ce dernier est introduit dans le deuxième boîtier.The housing body of the second housing advantageously has on its inner surface at least one longitudinal groove, allowing the sliding or the raised locking elements of the first housing when the latter is introduced into the second housing.

Le capot de verrouillage comporte avantageusement au moins un rebord et la surface extérieure du corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier comporte avantageusement au moins une rainure de guidage du capot de verrouillage s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal dudit corps de boîtier, le rebord et la rainure étant agencés pour coopérer lorsque le capot passe de la position déverrouillée vers la position verrouillée.The locking cap advantageously comprises at least one flange and the outer surface of the housing body of the second housing advantageously comprises at least one guide groove of the locking cover extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of said housing body, the flange and the groove being arranged to cooperate when the cover passes from the unlocked position to the locked position.

Le capot de verrouillage comporte par exemple quatre rebords respectivement situés aux extrémités longitudinales de ses faces latérales et le corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier comporte par exemple une rainure de guidage du capot de verrouillage à l'extrémité longitudinale de chaque décrochement des faces latérales.The locking cap comprises for example four flanges respectively located at the longitudinal ends of its side faces and the housing body of the second housing comprises for example a guide groove of the locking cap at the longitudinal end of each recess of the side faces.

Au sens de l'invention, on désigne par « face latérale du capot de verrouillage » une face s'étendant selon l'axe longitudinal du capot de verrouillage et différente de la face supérieure dudit capot.Within the meaning of the invention, the term "side face of the locking cap" means a face extending along the longitudinal axis of the locking cap and different from the upper face of said cap.

Le capot de verrouillage comporte avantageusement au moins une patte de maintien agencée pour maintenir le capot de verrouillage solidaire du corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier.The locking cap advantageously comprises at least one holding tab arranged to hold the locking cap integral with the housing body of the second housing.

La surface extérieure du premier boîtier présente avantageusement au moins une rainure longitudinale et la surface intérieure du corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier présente avantageusement au moins une rainure longitudinale de guidage du premier boîtier, ces dites rainures étant agencées pour coopérer lors de l'introduction du premier boîtier dans le corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier.The outer surface of the first housing advantageously has at least one longitudinal groove and the inner surface of the housing body of the second housing advantageously has at least one longitudinal guide groove of the first housing, said grooves being arranged to cooperate during the introduction of the first housing in the housing body of the second housing.

Dans la position verrouillée, le capot de verrouillage est par exemple entièrement logé dans le ou les décrochements de la surface extérieure du corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier.In the locked position, the locking cap is for example fully housed in the recess or recesses of the outer surface of the housing body of the second housing.

L'invention a encore pour objet, selon un autre de ses aspects, un procédé pour assembler, de préférence de manière amovible, les premier et deuxième boîtiers de connecteurs de l'ensemble de connexion tel que défini ci-dessus, comprenant les étapes consistant à :

  • positionner les premier et deuxième boîtiers l'un par rapport à l'autre en engageant :
  • le ou les éléments de blocage en relief dans la ou les rainures de la surface intérieure du corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier et,
  • la ou les rainures longitudinales de la surface extérieure du premier boîtier dans la ou les rainures longitudinales de guidage du premier boîtier de la surface intérieure du corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier, et
  • faire coulisser en translation le capot de verrouillage par rapport au corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier de manière à engager le ou les éléments de blocage en relief du premier boîtier dans la ou les rampes de blocage du capot de verrouillage, en vue de réaliser le blocage du capot de verrouillage par rapport au premier boîtier.
According to another of its aspects, the subject of the invention is a method for assembling, preferably removably, the first and second connector housings of the connection assembly as defined above, comprising the steps of at :
  • positioning the first and second housings relative to one another by engaging:
  • the one or more raised locking elements in the groove or grooves of the inner surface of the housing body of the second housing and,
  • the longitudinal groove or grooves of the outer surface of the first housing in the longitudinal guide groove or grooves of the first housing of the inner surface of the housing body of the second housing, and
  • sliding in translation the locking cap relative to the housing body of the second housing so as to engage the raised locking element or elements of the first housing in the locking bar or bars of the locking cover, in order to achieve the locking of the locking cap relative to the first housing.

D'autres caractéristiques et propriétés avantageuses de l'invention apparaîtront à la description qui va suivre d'exemples de mise en oeuvre non limitatifs de celle-ci et à l'examen du dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue éclatée d'un ensemble de connexion selon l'invention,
  • les figures 2 et 3 représentent deux étapes successives d'assemblage d'un ensemble de connexion selon l'invention et,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon IV-IV de la figure 3.
Other characteristics and advantageous properties of the invention will become apparent from the following description of nonlimiting exemplary embodiments thereof and from the examination of the appended drawing in which:
  • the figure 1 is an exploded view of a connection assembly according to the invention,
  • the figures 2 and 3 represent two successive steps of assembling a connection assembly according to the invention and,
  • the figure 4 is a sectional view along IV-IV of the figure 3 .

On a représenté à la figure 1 un exemple d'ensemble de connexion désigné globalement par 1 selon l'invention.We have shown figure 1 an example of connection assembly generally designated 1 according to the invention.

Cet ensemble de connexions comprend un premier boîtier de connecteur multicontacts, désigné globalement par 10 et un deuxième boîtier de connecteur multicontacts désigné globalement par 30.This set of connections includes a first multicontact connector housing, generally designated 10, and a second multicontact connector housing generally designated 30.

Le premier boîtier 10 s'étend selon un axe longitudinal X et présente sur chaque face latérale 12 et 13 un élément de blocage en relief 20 et 21. Dans l'exemple décrit, ces éléments de blocage en relief 20 et 21 sont des picots dont le rôle sera expliqué plus loin.The first housing 10 extends along a longitudinal axis X and has on each lateral face 12 and 13 a raised blocking element 20 and 21. In the example described, these raised blocking elements 20 and 21 are pins having the role will be explained later.

Le premier boîtier 10 présente sur sa face supérieure 13 et sur sa face inférieure 14 des rainures 15 dont le rôle sera expliqué plus loin.The first housing 10 has on its upper face 13 and on its lower face 14 grooves 15 whose role will be explained later.

Le premier boîtier 10 est par exemple réalisé en matière plastique présentant un revêtement métallisé.The first housing 10 is for example made of plastic material having a metallized coating.

Le deuxième boîtier 30 comporte dans l'exemple décrit un corps de boîtier désigné globalement par 120 et un capot de verrouillage désigné globalement par 50.The second housing 30 comprises in the example described a housing body generally designated 120 and a locking cap generally designated 50.

Le corps de boîtier s'étend dans l'exemple décrit selon l'axe longitudinal X et présente une frome creuse de façon à pouvoir recevoir le premier boîtier 10.The housing body extends in the example described along the longitudinal axis X and has a hollow part so as to receive the first housing 10.

Dans l'exemple décrit, la surface extérieure du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier présente des décrochements.In the example described, the outer surface of the housing body 120 of the second housing has recesses.

Les faces latérales 121 et 122 du corps de boîtier 120 présentent chacune un décrochement 101 et 102 et la face supérieure 123 du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier présente un décrochement 110.The lateral faces 121 and 122 of the housing body 120 each have a recess 101 and 102 and the upper face 123 of the housing body 120 of the second housing has a recess 110.

Le fond d'une partie de chaque décrochement 101 et 102 ménagé dans les faces latérales 121 et 122 est constitué par une ouverture 100.The bottom of a portion of each recess 101 and 102 formed in the side faces 121 and 122 is constituted by an opening 100.

Dans l'exemple représenté à la figure 1, le corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier comporte des rainures de guidage 70, 71, 72 et 73 s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal X. Ces rainures sont situées aux extrémités longitudinales de chaque décrochement 101 et 102 ménagé dans les faces latérales 121 et 122.In the example shown in figure 1 , the housing body 120 of the second housing has guide grooves 70, 71, 72 and 73 extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X. These grooves are located at the longitudinal ends of each recess 101 and 102 formed in the side faces 121 and 122.

La surface intérieure 125 du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier comporte dans l'exemple décrit deux rainures 40 et 41 s'étendant longitudinalement et se faisant face. La rainure 40, respectivement 41, est agencée pour permettre le coulissement de l'élément de blocage en relief 20, respectivement 21, lors de l'introduction du premier boîtier 10 dans le corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30.The inner surface 125 of the housing body 120 of the second housing has in the example described two grooves 40 and 41 extending longitudinally and facing each other. The groove 40, 41 respectively, is arranged to allow the displacement of the raised locking element 20, respectively 21, during the insertion of the first housing 10 into the housing body 120 of the second housing 30.

La surface intérieure 125 du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier comporte encore dans l'exemple décrit des rainures longitudinales de guidage du premier boîtier 126 agencées pour coopérer avec les rainures 15 lors de l'introduction du premier boîtier 10 dans le corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30. Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1, deux rainures 126 sont par exemple ménagées dans la face supérieure 123 et une rainure est par exemple ménagée dans la face inférieure.The inner surface 125 of the housing body 120 of the second housing further comprises in the example described longitudinal guide grooves of the first housing 126 arranged to cooperate with the grooves 15 during the introduction of the first housing 10 into the housing body 120 of the second housing 30. As can be seen on the figure 1 two grooves 126 are for example formed in the upper face 123 and a groove is for example made in the lower face.

La surface extérieure du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30 comporte encore deux encoches de guidage non représentées situées de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal X et dont le rôle sera évoqué par la suite.The outer surface of the housing body 120 of the second housing 30 further comprises two not shown guide notches located on either side of the longitudinal axis X and whose role will be discussed later.

Le corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30 est par exemple réalisé en matière plastique présentant un revêtement métallisé.The housing body 120 of the second housing 30 is for example made of plastic material having a metallized coating.

Le capot de verrouillage 50 présente dans l'exemple décrit une forme en U et s'étend le long de l'axe longitudinal X.The locking cover 50 has in the example described a U-shape and extends along the longitudinal axis X.

Le capot de verrouillage comporte deux faces latérales 51 et 52 et une face supérieure 53.The locking cover has two lateral faces 51 and 52 and an upper face 53.

La face latérale 51, respectivement 52, du capot de verrouillage 50 comporte dans l'exemple décrit une rampe de guidage 80, respectivement 81, s'étendant selon une direction faisant un angle compris entre 75 et 85 degrés avec la direction de l'axe X.The lateral face 51, respectively 52, of the locking cap 50 comprises in the example described a guide ramp 80, respectively 81, extending in a direction making an angle of between 75 and 85 degrees with the direction of the axis X.

Le capot de verrouillage 50 comporte encore sur chaque face latérale une patte de maintien 90 agencée pour maintenir le capot de verrouillage solidaire du corps de boîtier du deuxième boîtier en coopérant avec les encoches de guidage de la surface extérieure du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30The locking cap 50 further comprises on each lateral face a retaining tab 90 arranged to hold the locking cap integral with the body of the housing of the second housing cooperating with the guide notches of the outer surface of the housing body 120 of the second housing 30

On va maintenant décrire en référence aux figures 2 et 3 un exemple d'assemblage d'un ensemble de connexion 1 selon l'invention.We will now describe with reference to figures 2 and 3 an example of assembly of a connection assembly 1 according to the invention.

Lors d'une première étape représentée à la figure 2, un effort P est exercé selon l'axe longitudinal X afin d'introduire le premier boîtier 10 dans le corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30.In a first step represented in figure 2 a force P is exerted along the longitudinal axis X in order to introduce the first housing 10 into the housing body 120 of the second housing 30.

Lors de cette première étape, les rainures 15 présentes sur la surface extérieure du corps de boîtier du premier boîtier coulissent dans les rainures 126 prévues sur la surface intérieure du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30 et les éléments de blocage en relief 20 et 21 coulissent dans les rainures 40 et 41 précédemment décrites.In this first step, the grooves 15 on the outer surface of the housing body of the first housing slide in the grooves 126 provided on the inner surface of the housing body 120 of the second housing 30 and the raised locking elements 20 and 21. slide in the grooves 40 and 41 previously described.

A l'issue de cette étape, les éléments de blocage en relief 20 et 21 débouchent à l'extérieur du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30 par l'intermédiaire des ouvertures 100 ménagées dans le fond des décrochements 101 et 102 des faces latérales 121 et 122.At the end of this step, the raised blocking elements 20 and 21 open out of the housing body 120 of the second housing 30 through the openings 100 formed in the bottom of the recesses 101 and 102 of the lateral faces. 121 and 122.

Au cours d'une deuxième étape, un effort F est exercé sur le capot de verrouillage 50 perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal X ce qui a pour effet de faire coulisser les rebords 60, 61, 62 et 63 dans les rainures 70, 71, 72 et 73 précédemment décrites. Au cours de cette étape, les éléments de blocage en relief 20 et 21 coulissent dans les rampes de blocage 80 et 81.During a second step, a force F is exerted on the locking cap 50 perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis X which has the effect of sliding the flanges 60, 61, 62 and 63 in the grooves 70, 71, 72 and 73 previously described. During this step, the raised blocking elements 20 and 21 slide in the blocking ramps 80 and 81.

Comme on peut le voir aux figures 3 et 4, dans cet exemple, le capot de verrouillage 50 peut être entièrement logé dans les décrochements 101, 102 et 110 de la surface extérieure du corps de boîtier 120 du deuxième boîtier 30, de telle sorte que l'encombrement ainsi formé ne correspond qu'à l'épaisseur du premier boîtier 10 et qu'à l'épaisseur du capot de verrouillage 50.As can be seen at Figures 3 and 4 in this example, the locking cap 50 can be entirely housed in the recesses 101, 102 and 110 of the outer surface of the casing body 120 of the second casing 30, so that the space thus formed corresponds only to the thickness of the first housing 10 and the thickness of the locking cover 50.

L'invention permet ainsi d'obtenir un connecteur d'encombrement relativement réduit et protégé contre les interférences électromagnétiques de façon satisfaisante.The invention thus makes it possible to obtain a connector of relatively small size and protected against electromagnetic interference satisfactorily.
