Description

Le domaine de l'invention est celui de la connectique et plus particulièrement des connecteurs de type RJ45 (d'après l'anglais Registered Jack).The field of the invention is that of the connectors and more particularly type RJ45 connectors (according to the English Registered Jack).

Ce type de connecteur est largement utilisé, notamment comme connecteur de carte réseau pour réseau Ethernet, ou encore dans les installations téléphoniques domestiques où il remplace les prises en « T ».This type of connector is widely used, such as network card connector for Ethernet network, or in domestic telephone systems where it replaces the "T" outlets.

Un connecteur RJ45 comporte huit broches de connexions électriques et une installation domestique est en général câblée avec du câble à quatre paires de fils, chaque fil étant connecté à une broche respective du connecteur RJ45.An RJ45 connector has eight electrical connection pins, and a home installation is typically wired with four-pair wire, each wire connected to a respective pin of the RJ45 connector.

On considère une prise RJ45 ainsi connectée. Les quatre paires permettent l'accès à plusieurs services sur cette même prise RJ45. Ces services sont :

  • le téléphone analogique,
  • le téléphone sur IP (d'après l'anglais Internet Protocol),
  • deux accès Ethernet.
An RJ45 plug thus connected is considered. The four pairs allow access to several services on the same RJ45 socket. These services are:
  • the analog phone,
  • the IP phone (according to the English Internet Protocol),
  • two Ethernet access.

Des adaptateurs ont donc été proposés pour permettre l'accès à deux services simultanément à partir d'une unique prise RJ45. Ces adaptateurs comportent une fiche RJ45 connectable à la prise RJ45, et deux prises RJ45. Le câblage interne des adaptateurs dépend des services auxquels ils donnent accès. La demande de brevet US 2002/146113 propose un tel type d'adaptateur.Adapters have been proposed to allow access to two services simultaneously from a single RJ45 socket. These adapters include an RJ45 plug connectable to the RJ45 jack, and two RJ45 jacks. The internal wiring of the adapters depends on the services to which they give access. The patent application US 2002/146113 proposes such a type of adapter.

Il est à noter que le téléphone analogique et le téléphone sur IP utilise chacun une paire de fils et que les accès Ethernet utilisent chacun deux paires de fils.It should be noted that the analog phone and the IP phone each use one pair of wires and that the Ethernet ports each use two pairs of wires.

On comprend que pour utiliser simultanément deux services différents, il faut qu'ils utilisent des paires différentes, faute de quoi il y aurait des dysfonctionnements.We understand that to use two different services simultaneously, they must use different pairs, otherwise there will be malfunctions.

Ainsi, un premier type d'adaptateur permet l'utilisation simultanée du téléphone analogique et du téléphone sur IP, en utilisant les troisième et quatrième paires.Thus, a first type of adapter allows the simultaneous use of the analog phone and the IP phone, using the third and fourth pairs.

Un deuxième type d'adaptateur permet l'utilisation simultanée du téléphone analogique et d'un accès Ethernet en utilisant les première, deuxième et troisième paires.A second type of adapter allows simultaneous use of the analog telephone and Ethernet access using the first, second and third pairs.

Un troisième type d'adaptateur permet l'utilisation simultanée du téléphone sur IP et d'un accès Ethernet en utilisant les première, deuxième et quatrième paires.A third type of adapter allows simultaneous use of the IP phone and Ethernet access using the first, second and fourth pairs.

Un quatrième type d'adaptateur permet l'utilisation simultanée des deux accès Ethernet en utilisant les quatre paires.A fourth type of adapter allows the simultaneous use of both Ethernet ports using the four pairs.

Ces adaptateurs sont conçus et câblés pour ne permettre que des connexions ou combinaisons de connexions qui fonctionnent, en fonction des paires utilisées par chaque service. Cependant l'utilisateur doit utiliser un adaptateur différent pour chaque combinaison de services utilisés simultanément.These adapters are designed and wired to allow only connections or combinations of connections that work, depending on the pairs used by each service. However, the user must use a different adapter for each combination of services used simultaneously.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre les inconvénients de la technique antérieure.The present invention aims to solve the disadvantages of the prior art.

A cette fin, l'invention propose un adaptateur RJ45 multi-accès comportant une fiche RJ45 et au moins deux prises RJ45, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une pièce mobile entre lesdites au moins deux prises RJ45, la pièce mobile étant adaptée pour permettre l'insertion d'une fiche RJ45 dans l'une quelconque des prises RJ45 et simultanément empêcher l'insertion d'une autre fiche RJ45 dans l'autre des prises RJ45 et pour se déplacer entre les prises RJ45 de sorte que l'insertion d'une fiche RJ45 dans l'une quelconque des prises RJ45 pousse la pièce mobile jusqu'à ce qu'une partie de la pièce mobile vienne dans le logement de l'autre prise RJ45.To this end, the invention proposes a multi-access RJ45 adapter comprising an RJ45 plug and at least two RJ45 sockets, characterized in that it comprises a part movable between said at least two RJ45 sockets, the mobile part being adapted to allow inserting an RJ45 plug into any of the RJ45 sockets and simultaneously preventing the insertion of another RJ45 plug into the other RJ45 sockets and moving between RJ45 sockets so that inserting an RJ45 plug into any of the RJ45 sockets pushes the moving part until a portion of the moving part comes into the slot of the other RJ45 socket.

Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de connecter deux prises RJ45 de l'adaptateur à une même broche de la fiche RJ45 de l'adaptateur, cette connexion correspondant à deux services différents, tout en empêchant une connexion simultanée de ces deux prises, et par conséquent une utilisation simultanée de ces deux services, qui provoquerait des dysfonctionnements. De plus, cette mise en oeuvre de l'invention est d'une utilisation fiable pour l'utilisateur. Le déplacement de la pièce mobile peut être une translation ou une rotation.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to connect two RJ45 jacks of the adapter to the same pin of the RJ45 plug of the adapter, this connection corresponding to two different services, while preventing simultaneous connection of these two jacks, and therefore a simultaneous use of these two services, which would cause malfunctions. In addition, this implementation of the invention is a reliable use for the user. The displacement of the moving part can be a translation or a rotation.

Selon une caractéristique préférée, les deux prises RJ45 sont disposées sensiblement sur le même axe et en sens opposés.According to a preferred feature, the two RJ45 sockets are arranged substantially on the same axis and in opposite directions.

Cette disposition facilite le fonctionnement de l'adaptateur.This arrangement facilitates the operation of the adapter.

Selon une caractéristique préférée, l'adaptateur comporte quatre prises RJ45 et la pièce mobile est adaptée pour se déplacer entre deux positions extrêmes correspondant à l'insertion simultanée possible de fiches RJ45 dans un premier sous-ensemble de trois prises RJ45 ou dans un second sous-ensemble de deux prises RJ45.According to a preferred characteristic, the adapter comprises four RJ45 sockets and the moving part is adapted to move between two extreme positions corresponding to the possible simultaneous insertion of RJ45 plugs in a first subset of three RJ45 sockets or in a second sub-socket. -Set of two RJ45 sockets.

Cette configuration est adaptée à l'utilisation des huit broches de la fiche RJ45 de l'adaptateur pour proposer quatre services via les quatre prises RJ45, au moins une même broche de la fiche RJ45 de l'adaptateur étant utilisée par au moins deux services.This configuration is adapted to use the eight pins of the RJ45 plug of the adapter to provide four services via the four RJ45 sockets, at least one pin of the RJ45 plug of the adapter being used by at least two services.

Selon une caractéristique préférée, le premier sous-ensemble de prises RJ45 correspond au téléphone analogique, au téléphone sur IP et à un premier accès Ethernet et le second sous-ensemble de prises RJ45 correspond au premier et à un second accès Ethernet.According to a preferred feature, the first subset of RJ45 sockets corresponds to the analog telephone, the IP telephone and a first Ethernet access and the second subset of RJ45 sockets corresponds to the first and second Ethernet access.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaîtront à la lecture d'un mode de réalisation décrit en référence aux figures dans lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 représente un mode de réalisation d'adaptateur RJ45 multi accès selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 représente un mode de réalisation de connectique interne de l'adaptateur selon l'invention,
  • la figure 3 représente un mode de réalisation de boîtier inclus dans l'adaptateur selon l'invention, dans une première configuration, et
  • la figure 4 représente un mode de réalisation du boîtier inclus dans l'adaptateur selon l'invention, dans une seconde configuration.
Other characteristics and advantages will appear on reading an embodiment described with reference to the figures in which:
  • the figure 1 represents an embodiment of multi-access RJ45 adapter according to the invention,
  • the figure 2 represents an embodiment of the internal connection of the adapter according to the invention,
  • the figure 3 represents an embodiment of the housing included in the adapter according to the invention, in a first configuration, and
  • the figure 4 represents an embodiment of the housing included in the adapter according to the invention, in a second configuration.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention représenté à la figure 1, un adaptateur RJ45 comporte une fiche RJ45 1 destinée à être connectée à une prise RJ45 non représentée faisant partie d'une installation téléphonique du câblage résidentiel tel que défini dans le guide UTE C 90483. La fiche RJ45 est classique et comporte huit broches de connexion électrique.According to one embodiment of the invention shown in figure 1 , an RJ45 adapter has an RJ45 plug 1 intended to be connected to an unrepresented RJ45 socket forming part of a residential wiring telephone system as defined in the UTE C guide 90483. The RJ45 plug is conventional and has eight connection pins electric.

L'adaptateur comporte également un boîtier 2 sensiblement en forme de parallélépipède dans lequel sont positionnées quatre prises RJ45 référencées 3, 4 5 et 6. Une seule face du boîtier 2 est représentée, et les prises sont schématisées par des rectangles en traits pointillés. Chacune de ces prises RJ45 est connectée électriquement à la fiche 1 de sorte que chaque prise RJ45 permet l'utilisation d'un service. Chacune de ces prises est classique en soi et comporte un logement ouvert sur une face du boîtier 2 pour permettre l'insertion d'une fiche RJ45 externe.The adapter also comprises a substantially parallelepiped-shaped housing 2 in which are positioned four RJ45 jacks referenced 3, 4 5 and 6. Only one face of the housing 2 is shown, and the jacks are schematized by dashed rectangles. Each of these RJ45 sockets is electrically connected to plug 1 so that each RJ45 socket allows the use of a service. Each of these jacks is conventional in itself and has an open housing on one side of the housing 2 to allow the insertion of an external RJ45 plug.

La figure 2 représente les connexions internes de l'adaptateur selon l'invention, entre la fiche 1 et les quatre prises 3, 4, 5 et 6. La fiche 1 comporte huit broches référencées 11 à 18, la prise 3 comporte huit broches référencées 31 à 38, la prise 4 huit broches référencées 41 à 48, la prise 5 huit broches référencées 51 à 58, et enfin la prise 6 huit broches référencées 61 à 68.The figure 2 represents the internal connections of the adapter according to the invention, between the plug 1 and the four sockets 3, 4, 5 and 6. The plug 1 has eight pins referenced 11 to 18, the plug 3 has eight pins referenced 31 to 38 , the socket 4 eight pins referenced 41 to 48, the socket 5 eight pins referenced 51 to 58, and finally the socket 6 eight pins referenced 61 to 68.

Ainsi, la première prise 3 est dédiée au téléphone analogique. Ce service nécessite l'utilisation d'une paire. Comme représenté à la figure 2, les broches 14 et 15 de la fiche 1 sont reliées aux broches 34 et 35 de la prise 3.Thus, the first socket 3 is dedicated to the analog phone. This service requires the use of a pair. As represented in figure 2 , the pins 14 and 15 of the plug 1 are connected to the pins 34 and 35 of the socket 3.

La deuxième prise 4 est dédiée au téléphone sur IP. Ce service nécessite également l'utilisation d'une paire. Les broches 17 et 18 de la fiche 1 sont reliées aux broches 44 et 45 de la prise 4.The second socket 4 is dedicated to the IP phone. This service also requires the use of a pair. Pins 17 and 18 of plug 1 are connected to pins 44 and 45 of plug 4.

La troisième prise 5 est dédiée à un premier accès Ethernet. Ce service nécessite l'utilisation de deux paires. Les broches 11, 12, 13 et 16 de la fiche 1 sont reliées aux broches 51, 52, 53 et 56 de la prise 5.The third socket 5 is dedicated to a first Ethernet access. This service requires the use of two pairs. The pins 11, 12, 13 and 16 of the plug 1 are connected to the pins 51, 52, 53 and 56 of the plug 5.

La quatrième prise 6 est dédiée à un second accès Ethernet. Ce service nécessite l'utilisation de deux paires. Les broches 14, 15, 17 et 18 de la fiche 1 sont reliées aux broches 61, 62, 63 et 66 de la prise 6.The fourth socket 6 is dedicated to a second Ethernet access. This service requires the use of two pairs. The pins 14, 15, 17 and 18 of the plug 1 are connected to the pins 61, 62, 63 and 66 of the socket 6.

On comprend que deux services utilisent chacun deux broches de la fiche 1 et que deux services utilisent chacun quatre broches de la fiche 1, qui comporte au total huit broches.It is understood that two services each use two pins of the plug 1 and two services each use four pins of the plug 1, which has a total of eight pins.

Comme déjà mentionné, il n'est pas possible d'utiliser une même broche pour deux services simultanément.As already mentioned, it is not possible to use the same pin for two services simultaneously.

Ainsi, il n'est pas possible d'utiliser simultanément les quatre services. Il est possible d'utiliser simultanément, de manière alternative :

  • le téléphone analogique, le téléphone sur IP et le premier accès Ethernet, ou tout sous-ensemble de ces services,
  • les deux accès Ethernet, ou tout sous-ensemble de ces services.
Thus, it is not possible to use the four services simultaneously. It is possible to use simultaneously, alternatively:
  • the analog telephone, the IP phone and the first Ethernet access, or any subset of these services,
  • both Ethernet accesses, or any subset of these services.

Les prises RJ45 3 et 4 correspondant au téléphone analogique et au téléphone sur IP sont côte à côte. De même, les prises RJ45 5 et 6 correspondant au premier et au second accès Ethernet sont côte à côte. Ces deux groupes de prises sont en sens opposé, de sorte que leurs ouvertures sont sur des faces opposées du boîtier 2. La prise 4 correspondant au téléphone IP est sensiblement sur le même axe que la prise 6 correspondant au deuxième accès Ethernet, et en sens opposé de celle-ci. En variante, c'est la prise 3 correspondant au téléphone analogique qui est sur le même axe que la prise 6 correspondant au deuxième accès Ethernet, et en sens opposé de celle-ci.The RJ45 jacks 3 and 4 corresponding to the analog phone and the IP phone are side by side. Similarly, RJ45 jacks 5 and 6 corresponding to the first and second Ethernet ports are side by side. These two groups of outlets are in the opposite direction, so that their openings are on opposite sides of the housing 2. The socket 4 corresponding to the IP phone is substantially on the same axis as the socket 6 corresponding to the second Ethernet access, and in sense opposite of it. Alternatively, it is the socket 3 corresponding to the analog telephone which is on the same axis as the socket 6 corresponding to the second ethernet access, and in the opposite direction thereof.

En référence aux figures 3 et 4 , le boîtier 2 de l'adaptateur est représenté en coupe selon un plan passant par les quatre prises RJ45. Le boîtier 2 comporte une pièce mobile PM qui se déplace dans un logement entre deux positions extrêmes. La pièce mobile est une plaque qui comporte trois parties saillantes respectivement destinées à s'insérer dans le logement d'une prise RJ45 du boîtier.With reference to figures 3 and 4 , the housing 2 of the adapter is shown in section along a plane passing through the four RJ45 sockets. The housing 2 comprises a moving part PM which moves in a housing between two extreme positions. The moving part is a plate which has three projecting portions respectively intended to fit into the housing of an RJ45 socket of the housing.

La pièce mobile est adaptée pour se déplacer par translation entre ses deux positions extrêmes.The moving part is adapted to move by translation between its two extreme positions.

La première position est représentée à la figure 3. Dans cette position, la pièce mobile a une partie saillante dans le logement de la prise RJ45 6 correspondant au deuxième accès Ethernet. Les trois autres prises RJ45 3, 4 et 5 sont libres.The first position is represented at figure 3 . In this position, the moving part has a projection in the housing of the RJ45 socket 6 corresponding to the second Ethernet access. The other three RJ45 sockets 3, 4 and 5 are free.

Ainsi, un utilisateur peut insérer une fiche RJ45 externe dans une, deux ou trois des prises libres, correspondant respectivement au téléphone analogique, au téléphone sur IP et au premier accès Ethernet.Thus, a user can insert an external RJ45 plug into one, two or three of the free sockets, respectively corresponding to the analog phone, the IP phone and the first Ethernet access.

A partir du moment où une fiche RJ45 est insérée dans l'une de ces prises, la pièce mobile est bloquée dans la première position extrême et il devient impossible d'insérer simultanément une fiche dans la prise 6 correspondant au deuxième accès Ethernet.From the moment when an RJ45 plug is inserted in one of these jacks, the moving part is locked in the first extreme position and it becomes impossible to simultaneously insert a plug in the socket 6 corresponding to the second Ethernet access.

La deuxième position est représentée à la figure 4. Dans cette position, la pièce mobile a deux parties saillantes dans les logements des prises RJ45 3 et 4 correspondant au téléphone analogique et au téléphone sur IP. Les deux autres prises RJ45 sont libres.The second position is represented at figure 4 . In this position, the moving part has two protruding parts in the slots of RJ45 sockets 3 and 4 corresponding to the analog phone and the IP phone. The other two RJ45 sockets are free.

Ainsi, un utilisateur peut insérer une fiche RJ45 externe dans une ou deux des prises libres 5 et 6, correspondant respectivement au premier et au second accès Ethernet.Thus, a user can insert an external RJ45 plug into one or two of the free jacks 5 and 6, respectively corresponding to the first and second Ethernet ports.

A partir du moment où une fiche RJ45 est insérée dans la prise 6 correspondant au second accès Ethernet, la pièce mobile est bloquée dans la deuxième position extrême et il devient impossible d'insérer simultanément une fiche dans les prises 3 et 4 correspondant au téléphone analogique et au téléphone sur IP.From the moment when an RJ45 plug is inserted in the socket 6 corresponding to the second Ethernet access, the moving part is locked in the second extreme position and it becomes impossible to simultaneously insert a plug in the sockets 3 and 4 corresponding to the analog telephone and over the phone over IP.

Bien entendu, l'homme du métier peut envisager des variantes sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. En particulier, la pièce mobile peut prendre différentes formes. En fonction des positions respectives des prises RJ45 les unes par rapport aux autres, le déplacement de la pièce mobile peut être rotatif au lieu de translatif.Of course, those skilled in the art can consider variants without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the moving part can take different forms. Depending on the respective positions of RJ45 sockets relative to each other, moving the moving part can be rotatable instead of translative.
