Definitions

  • the present invention relates to mating detection devices for connectors, and connectors comprising such mating detection devices.
  • Some of these assemblies included mechanical means, sometimes with audible markers or with so-called connector position assurance (CPA) elements, that were only able to be mechanically activated until a connector assembly was fully connected, for example by clicking or sliding into place.
  • CPA connector position assurance
  • the present invention has notably for object to provide a simple and more reliable mating detection device.
  • the mating detection device is wholly dependant on the mechanical locking elements of the connector itself.
  • the mating can only be detected after the connectors are mechanically coupled. Therefore it can only indicate a pair of locked connectors if the connectors are mechanically locked, ensuring that the mating detection device cannot indicate a false mating.
  • the whole functionality of mating detection may be found on a single device or on a single connector of the connector pair when the device is applied to a conventional connector
  • FIGS 1a to 1c illustrate perspective views of a mating detection device 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • the mating detection device 1 is suitable for associating with a conventional connector.
  • the mating detection device 1 comprises a housing 2 presenting a top face 3, a rear face 4, and two lateral legs 5.
  • the housing 2 further defines two front protruding forks 6 defining therebetween a void 6a.
  • the mating detection device further comprises an electrical member 7, disposed in the X-Y plane, which is fitted in a longitudinal direction (Y) through a slot 4a defined in the rear face 4 of the housing 2.
  • This electrical member 7 is for example a printed circuit board, the forward portion of which protrudes freely from the front of the housing and is positioned between the two front forks 6. The electrical member is thus carried on a part which is removably mounted on the housing 2.
  • the electrical member 7 is a Printed Circuit Board conferring a certain resiliency permitting it to flex in the vertical (Z) direction in the void 6a defined between the two forks 6.
  • the first electrical member 7 is an integral surface of the housing 3 of the mating detection device.
  • An electrical mating detection loop 8 is integrated to the electrical member ( fig 2 ), and has a pair of electrical tracks 9 etched on the inner surface 7a of the electrical member 7.
  • the mating detection loop is open when the connector is not mated with a counterpart.
  • the tracks 9 are terminated by open ended terminals 10 to form an open circuit.
  • the terminals 10 are disposed on the forward portion of the electrical member 7 able to flex.
  • the tracks 9 may alternatively be printed on the electrical member 7 using electrically conductive ink, or may constitute metallic tracks adhered to the electrical member 7.
  • a longitudinally extending, resilient, electrically conductive member such as a tongue 11 is fixed by adhesion or overmolding to a bridging portion 12 of the housing 2.
  • the bridging portion 12 extends between the two legs 5 and also supports the inner surface 7a of the board 7.
  • the resilient tongue 11 is positioned so that its enlarged free end 11a of the tongue is adapted to contact both terminals 10 under bending, in such a way as to provide electrical contact from one terminal to the other by intermediary of the tongue 11.
  • the resilient member 11 is made of an electrically conductive material or is made of a non-conductive material, and wherein at least a portion 11a of said resilient member coming into contact with the conductive terminals presents an electrically conductive surface.
  • Figure 2 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the mating detection device 1.
  • the device is illustrated in an exploded representation of a top part 13a rotated by 180° about imaginary axis X 1 to be illustrated removed from the bottom part 13b.
  • the top part 13a incorporates a forwardly protruding lip 13c delimitated by a pair of lateral cutouts 13d.
  • the lip 13c is resilient to movement.
  • the top part 13a presents an inner surface 14 onto which is disposed the mating detection loop 8 and tracks 9.
  • the lip 13c comprises the open-circuited terminals 10.
  • the top part 13a further comprises hooks 15 for cooperating with recesses 16 on the bottom part, thereby forming a unitary device.
  • the bottom part 13b comprises a top surface 18, a pair of lateral legs 5 for associating with a connector, and a resilient tongue 17 formed or molded out of the same material as bottom part 13b and preferably during the same manufacturing operation.
  • the resilient part 13b is preferably, although not necessarily, electrically non-conductive.
  • the end tip 17a of the tongue 17 is coated with a conductive coating such that it may come into contact and bridge terminals 10 in order to close the mating detection loop 8.
  • the mating detection device 1 body may be preferably molded of a synthetic material such as plastic.
  • a resilient tongue 11, 17, is able to be resiliently bent to come into contact with the two terminals 10 of the mating detection loop 8 in order to change the state (open/closed) of the loop 8, thereby signifying a mating state of the connectors.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a perspective view of a typical conventional connector, which may be used in conjunction with the mating detection device 1.
  • the connector 20 comprises a front end 21 for mating with a complementary connector (not shown), and means for locking 22 the connector 20 to the complementary connector.
  • the locking means or features 22 comprises a pair of resilient lever arms 24 connected together at their extremity with a joining portion (or latch portion) 25(see Figure 5 ) designed to cooperate with a lug on a corresponding mating connector.
  • the lever arms 24 are further connected together by a ledge 23 for user activation to lift and release the latch 25 from a locked position.
  • Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the connector 20 fitted with the mating detection device 1.
  • Fixation portions 5a of the legs 5 of the mating detection device cooperate with catches 26 on the connector to be fixed thereon.
  • the electrical member 7, or the protruding lip 13c, of the mating detection device 1 rests on the upper surface of the lever arms 24, a protective cover 27 of the connector covering the void 6a to protect accidental contact with it.
  • Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the above-mentioned connector 20 in a mating position with a complementary connector 30.
  • the connector 30 represents a female-type connector being complementary to connector 20.
  • Connector 30 presents a front end portion 34 sleeve-like fitting over the connecting portion 21 of the connector 20.
  • the connector 30 presents a locking feature such as a lug 31 designed to cooperate with the latch 25 of the locking means 22 of the connector 20, in the locked state of the connector assembly, in a completely conventional manner which would is known to those skilled in the art.
  • Both connectors 20 and 30 are thus deemed to be positively mated, fully mated, or electrically connected together, when the latch 25 latches (falls behind) the corresponding lug 31 of the connector 30.
  • the resilient tongue 11 In this mated position, the resilient tongue 11 is deflected upwardly by, and sits on, the lug 31.
  • the enlarged free end of the tongue 11a is dimensioned such that, in the mated position, it contacts the terminals 10 of the mating detection loop 8.
  • the free end of the tongue 11a is sized and positioned so as to deflect upwardly the electrical member 7, providing greater pressure contact between the tongue 11 and the terminals 10 of the mating detection loop 8 for better connection assurance.
  • Figures 8a to 8d illustrate schematically the mating operation of a pair of typical, conventional, connectors using a mating detection device according to the present invention.
  • Figure 8a illustrates the step in which the pair of connectors are not yet mated
  • figures 8b and 8c illustrate intermediate mating steps
  • figure 8d illustrates the pair of connectors positively mated with each other.
  • the latch member 25 will begin to ride up the lug 31.
  • the latching arms 24 will solicit the electrical member 7, 13c to bend.
  • the electrical member 7 is further separated from the tongue 11, which is not bent at this stage. The mating detection loop is thus prevented from falsely indicating a mating of the connectors.
  • the tongue 11 will eventually, in turn, also be solicited to ride over the lug 31. This is illustrated in figure 8c . In this position, the tongue will be once again returned to its nested position between the latch arms 24, and safely spaced from the electrical member 7 by virtue of the latch arms 24 supporting the electrical member 7, thus preventing the latch arm 11 from contacting it.
  • the latching arms 24 will continue to keep the electrical member 7 upwardly solicited until the latch 25 is able to resiliently fall back such that the latch 25 is longitudinally blocked behind the lug 31 ( Fig. 8d ). This position is designed to assuredly correspond to the pair of connectors 20, 30 being positively locked with each other.
  • the latching arms 24 will release the electrical member 7 to fall back towards its rest position, allowing it into contact with the tongue 11. This contact will allow the free end 11a to contact and bridge the terminals 10 of the mating detection loop 8, indicating a state whereby the pair of connectors are fully mated.
  • the loop 8 can be detected as closed with an RFID transceiver, the closing of the circuit signalling under normal circumstances that a pair of connectors (not shown) are securely locked and properly connected.
  • the loop 8 comprises a mating detection circuit 8a.
  • the circuit 8a becomes active and can exchange information with an RFID emission/detection device via the loop 8 working as an antenna.
