Description

Cosse pour connexion électrique et son procédé d'assemblage Terminal for electrical connection and its method of assembly
L'invention a trait au domaine général de la connectique électrique.The invention relates to the general field of electrical connection.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement une cosse pour connexion électrique.It relates more particularly to a terminal for electrical connection.
On sait qu'il existe des cosses comportant une douille pourvue d'une portion de sertissage reliée à une portion de connexion d'une borne avec laquelle la cosse est adaptée à coopérer.It is known that there are pods comprising a socket provided with a crimping portion connected to a connection portion of a terminal with which the pod is adapted to cooperate.
On connaît notamment du document FR 2 620 579 une cosse dont la douille reçoit, dans le creux qu'elle présente, l'extrémité d'un câble électrique, ce creux étant partiellement rempli de graisse de contact pour améliorer la liaison électrique câble/cosse. La cosse comporte en outre un joint annulaire d'étanchéité de façon à rendre étanche la liaison câble/cosse.Document FR 2 620 579 discloses a lug whose socket receives, in the hollow that it has, the end of an electric cable, this hollow being partially filled with contact grease to improve the electrical connection cable / lug . The lug further comprises an annular seal so as to seal the cable / lug connection.
A l'insertion du câble dans le creux, le câble s'enfonce dans la graisse puis l'opérateur réalise le sertissage de la cosse.When the cable is inserted into the hollow, the cable is inserted into the grease and the operator then crimps the terminal.
Le but de l'invention est d'améliorer ce type de cosses, tant à la fabrication qu'à l'utilisation. A cet effet, l'invention propose une cosse pour connexion électrique, comportant une douille présentant un creux, partiellement rempli d'une graisse de contact, prévu pour recevoir l'extrémité d'un câble électrique et comportant une portion de sertissage adaptée à être déformée radialement, caractérisée en ce que ladite cosse comporte en outre un bouchon de maintien de ladite graisse dans ledit creux, qui présente une membrane transversale adaptée à être déchirée par le câble électrique lors de son insertion dans ledit creux et qui présente au moins une portion disposée dans ladite portion de sertissage, ladite graisse étant disposée entre le fond dudit creux et ladite membrane.The object of the invention is to improve this type of lugs, both in manufacture and use. For this purpose, the invention proposes a lug for electrical connection, comprising a socket having a hollow, partially filled with a contact grease, designed to receive the end of an electric cable and having a crimping portion adapted to be radially deformed, characterized in that said lug further comprises a plug for holding said grease in said hollow, which has a transverse membrane adapted to be torn by the electric cable during its insertion into said hollow and which has at least a portion disposed in said crimping portion, said grease being disposed between the bottom of said recess and said membrane.
Ainsi le bouchon, tout en maintenant la graisse dans le creux avant la connexion, reste en place à l'insertion du câble, sa membrane étant simplement déchirée par l'extrémité du câble de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'enlever le bouchon ce qui procure un gain de temps à l'opérateur. Et le bouchon est disposé dans une zone de la douille qui est sertie de sorte qu'en étant pris entre le câble et les parois de la douille sertie, le bouchon peut concourir à l'étanchéité de la connexion (entre la cosse et le câble).Thus the plug, while maintaining the grease in the hollow before the connection, remains in place at the insertion of the cable, its membrane being simply torn by the end of the cable so that it is not necessary to remove the plug which saves time for the operator. And the plug is disposed in an area of the socket which is crimped so that being caught between the cable and the walls of the crimped socket, the plug can contribute to the sealing of the connection (between the terminal and the cable).

The lug 1 is now described in its state before crimping.
La douille 2 présente un diamètre extérieur constant sur toute sa longueur tandis que la portion de transition 3 a une forme caractéristique permettant de relier la forme plate de la portion 4 à la forme cylindrique du tronçon de branchement 6 de la douille 2. Le tronçon d'étanchéité 5 présente une paroi tubulaire dont le diamètre intérieur est constant sur toute sa longueur tandis que le tronçon de branchement 6 n'est tubulaire dans le prolongement du tronçon d'étanchéité 5 que sur une partie seulement de sa longueur. Le reste du tronçon 6 (du côté de la portion plate 4) est massif. Dans la zone où le tronçon 6 est tubulaire, son diamètre intérieur est inférieur au diamètre intérieur du tronçon 5 de sorte que la paroi du tronçon 6 y est plus épaisse que la paroi du tronçon d'étanchéité 5. Un chanfrein 8 formant rampe annulaire vers le tronçon 6 s'étend entre les tronçons 5 et 6 afin de relier ces deux tronçons aux diamètres intérieurs différents.The bushing 2 has a constant outside diameter along its entire length while the transition portion 3 has a characteristic shape making it possible to connect the flat shape of the portion 4 to the cylindrical shape of the connecting section 6 of the bushing 2. The section of the bushing 2 5 has a tubular wall whose inner diameter is constant over its entire length while the branch portion 6 is tubular in the extension of the sealing section 5 only on a part of its length. The rest of the section 6 (on the side of the flat portion 4) is solid. In the zone where the section 6 is tubular, its inside diameter is smaller than the inside diameter of the section 5 so that the wall of the section 6 is thicker than the wall of the sealing section 5. A chamfer 8 forming annular ramp to the section 6 extends between the sections 5 and 6 to connect these two sections to different inner diameters.
Ainsi la douille 2 présente un creux cylindrique 9 dont une première portion 10 s'étend au niveau du tronçon d'étanchéité 5 et une deuxième portion 11 s'étend au niveau du tronçon de branchement 6. Le creux 9 présente un fond 12 et une ouverture 13 opposée au fond 12.Thus the sleeve 2 has a cylindrical hollow 9, a first portion 10 extends at the sealing section 5 and a second portion 11 extends at the branch section 6. The recess 9 has a bottom 12 and a opening 13 opposite bottom 12.
La deuxième portion 11 est partiellement remplie de graisse de contact 14 comportant de l'huile et des billes de zinc. Cette graisse 14 permet de casser la pellicule d'alumine qui se forme sur la surface de la paroi du creux 9, exposée à l'air. Le creux 9 et plus précisément son ouverture 13, est obturée par un bouchon en silicone 15 (figure 2). Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le bouchon est dans une matière autre que le silicone tout en présentant des propriétés en terme d'étanchéité. Ce bouchon 15 est tubulaire et présente un diamètre extérieur correspondant au diamètre intérieur du tronçon 5. Il présente à l'une de ses extrémités 17 une membrane déchirable 16 qui ferme à cette extrémité 17 le bouchon 15. A son autre extrémité 18 opposée à l'extrémité 17, le bouchon 15 présente un rebord annulaire 20 s'étendant dans un plan parallèle à celui dans lequel s'étend la membrane 16.The second portion 11 is partially filled with contact grease 14 comprising oil and zinc balls. This grease 14 makes it possible to break the film of alumina which forms on the surface of the wall of the hollow 9, exposed to the air. The hollow 9 and more precisely its opening 13, is closed by a silicone plug 15 (Figure 2). According to another embodiment, the plug is in a material other than silicone while having properties in terms of sealing. This plug 15 is tubular and has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the section 5. It has at one of its ends 17 a tearable membrane 16 which closes at this end 17 the plug 15. At its other end 18 opposite the end 17, the plug 15 has an annular flange 20 extending in a plane parallel to that in which the membrane 16 extends.
Le bouchon 15 est disposé dans la cosse 1 à travers l'ouverture 13 de sorte que le rebord 20 vient se positionner contre l'extrémité libre de la paroi tubulaire du tronçon 5. La membrane 16 se trouve alors enfoncée à l'intérieur de la première portion 10 avec la surface latérale du bouchon 15 en contact avec la surface latérale d'une partie du contour de la première portion 10.The plug 15 is disposed in the lug 1 through the opening 13 so that the rim 20 is positioned against the free end of the tubular wall of the section 5. The membrane 16 is then pressed inside the first portion 10 with the lateral surface of the cap 15 in contact with the lateral surface of a portion of the contour of the first portion 10.
La graisse 14 disposée dans la deuxième portion de creux 11 est située entre le fond 12 et la membrane 16. Dans cette position, cette graisse 14 ne peut pas couler hors du creux 9. Aucun corps étranger ne peut s'introduire dans le creux 9 et notamment dans la deuxième portion 11. Le bouchon 15 présente une double propriété : d'une part le maintien de la graisse et l'empêchement d'intrusion de corps étrangers et d'autre part l'étanchéité. Des moyens d'étanchéité peuvent en effet s'avérer nécessaires pour ces cosses afin d'éviter que l'eau pénètre jusqu'au tronçon de branchement ce qui pourrait nuire à la qualité de la connexion car en cas d'humidité ou de présence d'eau sur le câble, celle-ci peut remonter le long du câble par capillarité.The grease 14 disposed in the second hollow portion 11 is located between the bottom 12 and the membrane 16. In this position, this grease 14 can not flow out of the hollow 9. No foreign body can be introduced into the hollow 9 and in particular in the second portion 11. The plug 15 has a dual property: on the one hand the maintenance of the grease and the prevention of intrusion of foreign bodies and on the other hand the sealing. Sealing means may indeed be necessary for these lugs to prevent the water enters the branch section which could affect the quality of the connection because in case of moisture or presence of water on the cable, it can go up along the cable by capillarity.
Concernant l'étanchéité, la présence du bouchon (entre la douille et le câble et entre la graisse et l'extérieur) est un premier facteur qui concourt à l'étanchéité. La matière du bouchon en est un autre et le silicone concourt particulièrement efficacement à la fonction d'étanchéité. Un autre choix de matière est possible pour le bouchon.Regarding the sealing, the presence of the plug (between the bushing and the cable and between the grease and the outside) is a first factor that contributes to sealing. The material of the plug is another and the silicone is particularly effective in the sealing function. Another choice of material is possible for the cap.
En référence aux figures 1 et 3 à 6 on décrit maintenant l'insertion d'un câble dans la cosse 1 et le sertissage de celle-ci.Referring to Figures 1 and 3 to 6 there is now described the insertion of a cable in the lug 1 and the crimping thereof.
La cosse 1 est adaptée à coopérer avec un câble en aluminium 22 recouvert sur sa surface d'une couche d'isolant 23. L'extrémité du câble 22 est dénudée c'est-à-dire qu'il n'y a pas d'isolant 23 à ce niveau. Le câble 22 est en aluminium.The lug 1 is adapted to cooperate with an aluminum cable 22 covered on its surface with an insulating layer 23. The end of the cable 22 is stripped, that is to say that there is no insulation 23 at this level. The cable 22 is made of aluminum.
On insert le câble 22 extrémité dénudée en avant dans le creux 9 à travers l'ouverture du bouchon jusqu'à sa membrane 16. En poursuivant l'insertion, la membrane 16 est déchirée sous l'effet de la pression du câble 22The stripped end cable 22 is inserted forward into the recess 9 through the opening of the plug to its diaphragm 16. As the insertion continues, the diaphragm 16 is torn under the effect of the pressure of the cable 22
(figure 3). On procède ensuite à l'insertion plus avant du câble 22 jusqu'à ce que celui-ci entre en contact avec la graisse 14 puis touche le fond 12 du creux 9(Figure 3). The cable 22 is then further inserted until it comes into contact with the grease 14 and then touches the bottom 12 of the hollow 9
(figure 4). Dans cet état de coopération de la cosse 1 et du câble 22, la partie dénudée du câble 22 a dépassé le bouchon 15. Ce bouchon 15 n'a alors en regard que l'isolant 23 du câble 22.(Figure 4). In this state of cooperation of the lug 1 and the cable 22, the stripped portion of the cable 22 has passed the plug 15. This plug 15 then has only the insulation 23 of the cable 22.
Au contact de la graisse 14, la couche d'alumine (non représentée) qui s'est formée sur la surface de la partie dénudée du câble 22 réagit.In contact with the grease 14, the alumina layer (not shown) formed on the surface of the stripped portion of the cable 22 reacts.
En référence à la figure 5, on sertit le tronçon de branchement de manière connue en soi (et qui ne sera pas décrite plus en détail ici). La paroi tubulaire de la portion de tronçon 6 correspondant à la portion de creux 11 vient au contact de l'extrémité dénudée du câble 22. La graisse 14 est en grande partie chassée vers la première portion de creux 10, une fine couche de graisse 14 pouvant rester entre la surface de l'extrémité du câble 22 et la surface intérieure de la portion de tronçon 6.With reference to FIG. 5, the branch section is crimped in a manner known per se (and which will not be described in more detail here). The tubular wall of the section portion 6 corresponding to the hollow portion 11 comes into contact with the stripped end of the cable 22. The grease 14 is largely driven towards the first hollow portion 10, a thin layer of grease 14 being able to remain between the surface of the end of the cable 22 and the inner surface of the portion of section 6.
Ensuite on sertit le tronçon d'étanchéité 5 de sorte que la paroi latérale du bouchon 15 est plaquée entre la paroi latérale du tronçon d'étanchéité 5 et le câble 22 et plus particulièrement contre sa couche d'isolant 23 de sorte que l'étanchéité est assurée. La graisse 14 occupe l'espace laissé libre entre le câbleThen the sealing portion 5 is crimped so that the side wall of the plug 15 is pressed between the side wall of the sealing section 5 and the cable 22 and more particularly against its insulating layer 23 so that the seal is assured. The fat 14 occupies the space left free between the cable
22 ou l'isolant 23, le bouchon 15, le chanfrein 8 et la surface latérale de la deuxième portion de creux 11. Le volume de graisse disposé dans le creux 9 est choisi pour correspondre au volume libre du creux 9 après insertion du câble 22 et sertissage.22 or the insulator 23, the plug 15, the chamfer 8 and the lateral surface of the second hollow portion 11. The volume of grease disposed in the recess 9 is chosen to correspond to the free volume of the recess 9 after insertion of the cable 22 and crimping.
Selon des variantes de réalisation du bouchon, on souhaite que les morceaux de la membrane une fois déchirée restent localisés au niveau du bouchon de sorte que l'on dispose celle-ci en amont de la première extrémité. Le bouchon 115 représentée sur la figure 9 comporte une membrane 116 disposée dans une position intermédiaire à mi-chemin entre les extrémités 117 et 118 tandis que la membrane 216 du bouchon 215 est disposée au niveau de la deuxième extrémité 218.According to embodiments of the plug, it is desired that the pieces of the membrane once torn remain located at the plug so that it is disposed upstream of the first end. The plug 115 shown in FIG. 9 comprises a membrane 116 disposed in an intermediate position midway between the ends 117 and 118 while the membrane 216 of the plug 215 is disposed at the second end 218.
Selon une variante représentée sur la figure 11 , le bouchon 315 ne présente pas de rebord. Selon une variante au mode de réalisation, le bouchon est plus court que celui représenté sur les figures.According to a variant shown in Figure 11, the cap 315 does not have a flange. According to a variant of the embodiment, the plug is shorter than that shown in the figures.
Selon des variantes du mode de réalisation, le bouchon est réalisé dans une autre matière que le silicone et/ou la matière du câble et de la cosse est une autre matière convenant à ce type de connexion et/ou la graisse ne comporte pas de billes de zinc.According to variants of the embodiment, the plug is made of a material other than the silicone and / or the material of the cable and the lug is another material suitable for this type of connection and / or the grease has no balls of zinc.
Selon une autre variante, la membrane présente une forme non plate par exemple concave dans le sens d'introduction du câble dans le creux.According to another variant, the membrane has a non-flat shape, for example concave in the direction of introduction of the cable into the hollow.
Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation non représenté, la plage de contact présente une forme différente par exemple tubulaire. Des variantes de réalisation de la cosse peuvent être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. Notamment la portion de connexion est adaptée à la borne considérée ou encore la forme extérieure de la cosse et en particulier ses zones serties peuvent présenter un profil différent. According to yet another embodiment not shown, the contact area has a different shape, for example tubular. Alternative embodiments of the terminal can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the connection portion is adapted to the terminal in question or the outer shape of the lug and in particular crimped areas may have a different profile.
