Definitions
- the present invention relates to anti-vibration coupling for an electrical connector. More specifically, the coupling prevents counter-rotation of the electrical connector when engaged with its mating connector and subject to vibration or shock.
- Electrical connector assemblies generally include mating plug and receptacle connectors. Often a threaded nut or collar is used to mate the plug and receptacle connectors. When an electrical connector assembly is subject to vibration or shock, however, the mating connectors of the assembly, often become loose or even decouple. The loosening or decoupling usually occurs because the coupling nut counter rotates, that is it rotates in a direction opposite the mating or locking direction, thereby compromising the integrity of both the mechanical and electrical connection between the plug and receptacle connectors.
- Examples of some prior art couplings for electrical connector assemblies include U.S. Patent No. 6,293,595 to Marc et al ; U.S. Patent No. 6,123,563 ; U.S. Patent No. 6,086,400 to Fowler ; U.S. Patent No. 5,957,716 to Buckley et al. ; U.S. Patent No. 5,435,760 to Miklos ; U.S. Patent No. 5,399,096 to Quillet et al. ; 4,208,082 to Davies et al. ; U.S. Patent No. 3,917,373 to Peterson ; and U.S. Patent No. 2,728,895 to Quackenbush ,
- the present invention relates to a connector coupling that comprises the features defined in claim 1 and in the dependent claims.
- the coupling 100 preferably provides a one-way ratchet engagement such that the connectors of the assembly can only be disengaged manually by moving the coupling 100 between engaged ( FIG. 8 ) and disengaged ( FIG. 9 ) positions.
- the coupling 100 is preferably disposed on a connector body 102 and may include an inner collar 204, an outer collar 206, a ratchet ring 208, and a biasing member 210, as seen in FIG. 2 .
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the coupling 100 coupled to the connector body 102 of the connector assembly.
- the connector body 102 may be the shell of a plug connector, for example.
- the inner collar 204 accepts the connector body 102 and the outer collar 206 receives the inner collar 204.
- Both the ratchet ring 208 and the biasing member 210 are preferably disposed between the connector body 102 and the inner and outer collars 204 and 206.
- the inner collar 204 may include a main body 400 with internal threads 402 for engaging the mating connector (not shown), such as a receptacle, and a first set of teeth 404 for engaging the ratchet ring 208.
- the main body 400 may include first and second opposite ends 406 and 408 that define first and second openings 410 and 412, respectively, through which the connector body 402 extends.
- the projections 420 define the diameter d of the second opening 412 of the collar's main body 400 such that the second opening 412 is smaller than the first opening 410.
- Each projection 420 includes opposite inner and outer surfaces 422 and 424 where the inner surfaces 422 faces the internal threads 402 of the main body 400 and the outer surfaces 424 faces outside of the main body 400. Between each of the projections 420 are slots 430, as best seen in FIG. 5 .
- each tooth of the first set of teeth 404 extend from the inner surfaces 422 of each projection 420.
- Each tooth of the first set of teeth 404 may include a flat surface 902 that is preferably substantially perpendicular to the inner surface 422 of each respective projection 420, and an angled surface 904 that is angled with respect to the flat surface 902.
- the inner collar 204 is coupled to the connector body 102 such that it is rotatable with respect to the connector body 102; however its axial movement relative to the connector body 102 is restrained by a retaining clip 220 ( FIGS. 2 and 3 ). More specifically, the retaining clip 220 surrounds the connector body 102 and resides in an inner annular groove of the inner collar 204. An outer flange 230 of the connector body 102 creates a stop to prevent the retaining clip 220 and the inner collar 204 from moving axially forward with respect to the connector body 102. Retaining ring 320 restrain axial movement of the inner collar 204 in the opposite or back direction.
- the outer collar 206 surrounds the inner collar 204 to provide a mechanism for manually unlocking the inner collar 204.
- the outer collar 206 is designed to slide axially with respect to the inner collar 204 and the connector body 102.
- the outer collar 206 generally includes a main body 600 opposite first and second ends 602 and 604 that define first and second openings 606 and 608, respectively.
- the first opening 606 is sized to receive the inner collar 204
- the second opening 608 is sized to receive only the connector body 102.
- the main body 600 may include an outer gripping surface 610 to facilitate rotational and axial movement of the outer collar 206.
- a second set of projections 620 which define the diameter d of the second opening 608 of the main body 600.
- the second opening 608 of the outer collar 206 is substantially the same size as the second opening 412 of the inner collar 204.
- Slots 630 are defined between the projections, as best seen in FIG. 7 .
- Each projection 620 of the second set of projections includes opposite inner and outer surfaces 622 and 624.
- Each projection 620 of the second set of projections is shaped to correspond to or match the slots 430 of the inner collar 204.
- each projection 420 of the first set of projections is shaped to correspond to the slots 630 of the outer collar 206.
- the ratchet ring 208 is positioned on the connector body 102 between its outer flange 230 and the outer collar 206.
- the ratchet ring 208 may include opposite first and second surfaces 300 and 302.
- the first surface 300 is generally flat and is adapted to engage the biasing member 210.
- the second surface 302 includes a second set of teeth 304 extending therefrom that are adapted to engage the first set of teeth 404 of the inner collar 204 in a one-way ratchet engagement.
- each tooth of the second set of teeth 304 of the ratchet ring 208 includes a first surface 910 that is generally flat such that it is substantially perpendicular to the first surface 300 of the ratchet ring 208, and a second surface 912 that is angled relative to the flat first surface 910.
- the connector body 102 When assembling the coupling 100 to the connector body 102, the connector body 102 extends through the first and second openings 410, 606 and 412, 608 of the inner and outer collars 204 and 206, respectively, with the outer collar 206 surrounding the inner collar 204.
- a retaining clip 320 may be provided on the connector body 102 outside of the outer collar 206, thereby retaining the inner collar 204, the outer collar 206, the ratchet ring 208 and the biasing member 210 on the connector body 102.
- the retaining clip 220 restricts the axially movement of the inner collar 204 relative to the connector body.
- a grounding band 340 may be provided between the connector body 102 and the inner collar 204.
- the biasing member 210 biases the coupling 100 into the engaged position, as seen in FIG. 8 .
- the inner collar 204 can be rotated in only one direction to couple to the mating connector via its inner threads 402.
- the shaped of the teeth of the first and second sets of teeth 404 and 304 of the inner collar 204 and the ratchet ring 208, respectively, allow for rotation or ratcheting in one direction only, e.g. counter-clockwise when viewed from front end 104, and not in the opposite direction, i.e. a counter rotation. This arrangement generally prevents decoupling of the mating connectors due to vibration.
- the angled surfaces 904 and 912 of the teeth of the first and second sets of teeth 404 and 304 allow the inner collar 204 to rotate or ratchet, for example clockwise with respect to the ratchet ring 208 and the connector body 102. Because the flat or substantially perpendicular surfaces 902 and 910 of the teeth of the first and second sets of teeth 404 and 304 abut one another, the inner collar 204 is prevented from rotating or ratcheting back in the opposite direction.
- the first set of teeth 404 of the inner collar 204 are engaged with the second set of teeth 304 of the ratchet ring 208.
- the projections 420 of the inner collar 204 are received in the slots 630 of the outer collar 206.
- the projections 620 of the outer collar 206 are received in the slots 430 of the inner collar 204.
- the outer surfaces 424 and 624 of the inner collar projections 420 and the outer collar projections 620, respectively, are substantially flush.
- the inner surfaces 622 of the projections 620 of the outer collar 208 abut some of the teeth 304 of the ratchet ring 208, as best seen in FIG. 8 .
- the coupling 100 may be manually unlocked to allow the inner collar 204 to rotate in the opposite direction, e.g. clockwise when viewed from front end 104 of the connector body 102.
- the manual unlocking allows decoupling the inner threads 402 of the inner collar 204 from the mating connector.
- the outer collar 206 is moved axially relative to the inner collar 204 and the connector body 102 in the forward direction, i.e. towards the forward end 104 of the connector body 102.
- the outer collar 206 moves against the biasing of the biasing member 210 to separate the first and second sets of teeth 404 and 304.
- FIG. 9 illustrates the coupling 100 in the disengaged position after the coupling 100 is manually unlocked.
- the inner surfaces 622 of the projections 620 of the outer collar 206 push against the teeth of the ratchet ring 208 and against the bias of the biasing member 210 to separate the teeth 304 from the teeth 404 of the inner collar.
- the outer surfaces 624 and 424 of the outer collar's projections 620 and the inner collar's projections 420, respectively are no longer flush and are instead offset from one another by a distance equal to the distance the outer collar 206 is axially moved forward. Because the teeth 304 of the ratchet ring 208 and the teeth 404 of the inner collar 204 are now spaced from one another, the inner collar 204 may freely rotate in either direction relative to the connector body 102.
- a connector coupling 1000 is similar to the coupling 100 of the previous embodiment not part of invention in that it provides a one-way ratchet that can only be disengaged manually.
- the coupling 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention includes an inner collar 1004 that receives the connector body 1002, an outer collar 1006 that surrounds the inner collar 1004, and a ratchet ring 1008 that is disposed on the body and is spring biased by a biasing member 1010.
- the manual release of the connector coupling 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention differs from the coupling 100 of the previous embodiment not part of invention in that it adds an engagement mechanism between the coupling's collars 1004 and 1006.
- the inner collar 1004 may include a main body 1100 with internal threads 1102 for engaging the mating connector, and a plurality of locking members 1104, which may be teeth, for engaging the ratchet ring 1008.
- the main body 1100 may include first and second opposite ends 1106 and 1108 that define first and second openings 1110 and 1112. respectively, through which the connector body 1002 extends.
- the second end 1108 is adapted to engage the outer collar 1006 via an engagement mechanism that allows the outer collar 1006 to rotate with respect to the inner collar 1004 between a first position, as seen in FIG. 15A , and a second position, as seen in FIG. 16A .
- Part of the engagement mechanism may be, for example, one or more bayonet channels 1040 disposed on the outer surface of the inner collar 1004 at its second end 1108.
- Each bayonet channel 1040 includes an open end 1042 and an opposite closed end 1044, as seen in FIG. 10 .

That pins 1210 are preferably integral with the collar 1006, as seen in FIG. 12B . However, the pins 1210 may be separately formed and attached to the collar 1006. Adjacent the pins 1210 is an inner radial groove 1220 that receives an actuating ring 1050. Interference bumps 1250 may be provided on the inner surface of the outer collar which correspond to bumps 1150 on the inner collar 1004.
