Definitions

  • the instant invention relates to electrical connector housings, in particular to electrical connector housings used in electrical connector devices for vehicle electrical power charging systems.
  • the electrical power charging systems used for charging an electrical power vehicle usually comprise an electrical power inlet which is attached to the vehicle.
  • an electrical power link is connected between the vehicle power inlet and an electrical power socket of an electrical power station.
  • an electrical connector housing comprising:
  • the peripheral seal has a thickness less or equal to 2.53 mm.
  • the Applicant designed the seal with a specific shape which enables a smooth mating of the two connectors, thus limiting the friction forces exerted on the seal and reducing the risk of occurrence of a displacement and/or of a pinching/twisting of the seal.
  • Fig. 1 shows an electrical connector housing 10 according to the invention.
  • the electrical connector housing 10 is part of an electrical power inlet attached to an electrical power vehicle and intended to mate with a first plug provided at a first extremity of an electrical power link along a longitudinal mating axis XX.
  • the electrical power link comprises at a second extremity a second plug adapted to mate with an electrical power socket of an electrical power station.
  • the connector body 12 has a tubular shape and extends along the mating axis XX.
  • the connector body 12 has a substantially circular cross-section.
  • the cross-section of the connector body 12 is square, rectangular, oval, etc.
  • the connector body 12 comprises a central plate 18 and a peripheral wall 20 on either side of the central plate 18.
  • the central plate 18 extends substantially radially relative to the mating axis XX and the peripheral wall 20 extends along the mating axis XX.
  • Each sleeve 22 extends forward from the central plate 18 along a respective axis parallel to the mating axis XX, the peripheral wall 20 surrounding the sleeves 22.
  • the sleeves 22 have a tubular shape with a substantially circular cross-section and enable to prevent a user finger from inadvertently touching an electrical contact accommodated therein.
  • the connector body 12 comprises any number of sleeves 22.
  • the cross-section of the sleeves 22 is square, rectangular, oval, etc.
  • the peripheral wall 20 is arranged to receive a mating peripheral wall of a mating connector body of the first plug along the mating axis XX.
  • the retaining skirt 26 has an annular shape and protrudes forward from the central plate 18 along the mating axis XX.
  • the distance D taken along the mating axis XX between the edge of the retaining skirt 26 and the central plate 18 is about 5.50 ⁇ 0.50 mm. This feature enables to position the peripheral seal 14 deep inside the connector body 12, adjacent to the central plate 18, thus limiting the risk of contaminating and damaging the seal.
  • the seal holder 16 presents a tubular shape with a cross-section corresponding to that of the connector body 12, i.e. circular in the example described here.
  • the seal holder 16 is mounted on the inner surface 30 of the peripheral wall 20 of the connector body 12.
  • snap-fitting tabs 32 are provided on the seal holder 16 and cooperate with corresponding snap-fitting holes 34 provided on the peripheral wall 20 to attach the seal holder 16 on the connector body 12.
  • Complementary indexing elements 36 are also provided on the seal holder 16 and on the peripheral wall 20 to correctly orient the seal holder 16 relative to the connector body 12 upon assembling of these latter.
  • the seal holder 16 comprises a front end 38, a rear end 40, and a holding tongue 42 ( Fig. 2 ).
  • the front end 38 is level with a front end 44 of the peripheral wall 20.
  • the holding tongue 42 has an annular shape and protrudes rearward from the rear end 40 of the seal holder 16 along the mating axis XX.
  • the holding tongue 42 is thus arranged concentrically and inwardly relative to the peripheral wall 20, and is radially spaced apart from the peripheral wall 20 by a holding recess 46 having an annular shape.
  • the holding tongue 42 is also longitudinally spaced apart from the retaining skirt 26 and substantially aligned with the retaining skirt 26 along the mating axis XX.
  • the accommodating space 48 has an annular shape with a substantially T-shape cross-section, the branches of the T being formed respectively by the retaining groove 28 and the holding recess 46.
  • the peripheral seal 14 is mounted on the inner surface 30 of the peripheral wall 20 of the connector body 12 and is arranged to cooperate with the mating peripheral wall of the mating connector body of the first plug for providing a sealing between the connector body 12 and the mating connector body ( Fig. 5B ).
  • the peripheral seal 14 is substantially symmetric relative to a plane P perpendicular to the mating axis XX. This allows the peripheral seal 14 to be mounted on the connector body 12 indifferently in any of its two possible orientations.
  • peripheral seal 14 will now be described in more detail by reference to Figs. 3 and 4 .
  • the present description is that of the seal at rest before being mounted on the connector body 12.
  • the peripheral seal 14 is designed as a profiled ring designed to be mounted on the inner surface 30 of the peripheral wall 20 of the connector body 12. Therefore, the ring has a substantially circular geometry corresponding to the cross-section of the connector body 12.
  • profiled it is meant that the cross-section taken transversal to the peripheral direction of the peripheral seal 14 is substantially identical all along this periphery.
  • the peripheral seal 14 comprises a central portion 50 and, on either side of the central portion 50, a first end flange 52 forming with the central portion 50 a first shoulder 54, and a second end flange 56 forming with the central portion 50 a second shoulder 58.
  • the central portion 50 of the peripheral seal 14 comprises a sealing lip 60 having a wavy shape in cross-section and formed by an inner surface 62 of the peripheral seal 14.
  • the inner surface 62 comprises a central part 64 having a curved profile, and more precisely a cross-section with a convex arc of circle shape pointing radially internally, that is to say toward the mating axis XX and in a direction opposite from the peripheral wall 20 when the peripheral seal 14 is mounted on the connector body 12.
  • the mean radius of curvature of the central part 64 is comprised between 0.50 mm and 1.50 mm, for example substantially equal to 1.00 mm.
