Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to the electrical connection and the mechanical fastening of connectors.
  • Such connectors may be intended to convey supply or control signals. They comprise for example a set of contact modules, respectively male and female, which are intended to cooperate during connection.
  • the assembly of the connectors requires assembly efforts which can be important depending on the density of points, that is to say, contacts, to connect. These efforts are related to the interpenetration of contacts between them. Indeed, the male contacts must come into contact with the female contacts, which are clamping, and which oppose resistance to assembly. When the contacts are hermaphrodite, the clamping is generated on both sides of the connector and mounting forces can also be important.
  • the mounting rates generate cost issues related to the time of installation and maintenance of the connectors.
  • the use of tools reduces this rate and permanently monopolizes an operator's hand.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a system for connecting connectors requiring no tools for coupling and uncoupling the system, which can be implemented in an easy manner, of a single hand, and which provides a assistance in assembly and disassembly to reduce coupling and uncoupling efforts.
  • the invention therefore relates to a system for connecting at least one pair of paired connectors, comprising a plate comprising an opening for each pair of connectors and on which is fixed a first connector of said pair and a latch laterally movable by relative to the plate and the first connector, said latch being movable in a first position adapted to allow the insertion of the second connector of said pair until the contacting of the connectors and in a second stable position of coupling and locking connectors.
  • the first position therefore corresponds to an open position of the lock, in which the lock is for example in a retracted position, while the second position corresponds to a closed position of the lock in which the lock is for example in the advanced position.
  • the lock comprises an assembly of at least a first ramp on which a pin provided on the second connector relies when the lock is moved in the second position.
  • the lock may further comprise an assembly of at least one second ramp parallel to the first ramp and on which the pin rests during the displacement of the lock in the first position for the disengagement of the connectors.
  • the ramps open into a locking gadroon.
  • the first and second connectors respectively comprise an end base equipped with fixing means on the plate and a plug on which are provided the or pawns.
  • the second connector has a control tail for moving the latch in the first retracted position.
  • a visual cue placed in the path of the lock and visible only when the lock is in the locking position will be advantageously provided.
  • the system comprises a layer of compressible material adapted to be compressed at the end of the coupling race of the connectors or at the beginning of the uncoupling of the connectors.
  • the system includes a protective cap against electromagnetic radiation.
  • Figures 1 to 5 illustrate the main elements of a paired connector connection system according to the invention, designated by the general reference numeral 1.
  • this connection system 1 is intended to provide assistance to the connection of two connectors, respectively male and female, for an avionic application.
  • the connectors conventionally comprise a set of contact modules, having a set of contacts, male or female, provided at the ends of conductors to be connected.
  • connection system comprises essentially: a plate 2 provided with louvres 3, here four in number, for fixing the connection system on a mounting bracket; a latch 4 movable transversely, that is to say in the plane of the plate 2, between a first retracted position, corresponding to an open position of the latch and a second advanced position corresponding to a closed position of the latch; a base 5 provided at one end of a first connector to be connected and which is fixed on the plate 2; and a plug 6 provided at one end of a second connector to be matched.
  • the plate 2 comprises a set of openings 7 whose number depends on the number of connectors to be connected. Although the number of openings is not limiting, in the various embodiments illustrated, the plate 2 may comprise one, three or five openings for connecting one, three or five pairs of connectors.
  • the plate For each opening, the plate comprises a tab 8 for fixing by screwing the base 5 of the first connector.
  • the peripheral edge of each opening 7 also comprises a set of reliefs delimiting an imprint serving to receive the base 5.
  • the latch 4 has essentially a U-shaped and has two lateral branches 4a and 4b joined by a base 4c provided with a top tab 4d bent to be manually operated.
  • Each branch 4a and 4b of the lock comprises a set of slots, such as 4e, each delimiting a first ramp 4f and a second ramp 4g extending in parallel and serving respectively when connecting the connectors and the other when uncoupling.
  • each of the slots 4e opens into a 4h end godron.
  • the base 5 which is provided at one end of a first connector to be connected, is a mounting piece in which is housed the first connector C1, or which is integral with the latter, and comprises, in this for example, an end lug 5a provided with an orifice 5b for fixing the base by means of a screw V ( figure 1 ) of the plate 2.
  • a screw V figure 1
  • any other appropriate means for fixing the base on the plate for example a clipping a weld, ...
  • the plug 6 also constitutes a mounting piece in which is housed the second connector C2 to connect or which is integral with the latter.
  • tail 6a which is intended to cause the displacement of the lock at the beginning of the connection phase and a set of pins 6b whose number corresponds to the slots 4e and which are intended to cooperate with the ramps 4f and 4g during the coupling, on the one hand and during the uncoupling, on the other hand, connectors.
  • the number and position of the pins and slots is chosen so as to allow movement of the plug in translation, in the axis of the contacts, during the movement of the lock.
  • the end zone of the tabs 4a and 4b comprises an inclined ramp, such as 4i, on which the end of the tail 6a rests.
  • first connector and the base it carries are fixed, being screwed on the plate 2, while the plug and the corresponding connector constitute a movable and removable portion which is dissociated from the connection system to its connection.
  • the latch 4 is inserted into the opening of the plate, and between the plate 3 and the base 5 so that the tab 4d is accessible on the side of the connector. the plate 2 opposite the base 5.
  • the plug 6 of the second connector which here constitutes a female connector, is approached to the plate 2, until the tail 6a bears against the end ramp 4i of the lock.
  • the latch is moved laterally to a retracted position ( Figures 6b and 6c ) allowing the complete insertion of the second connector for contacting the first and second connectors.
  • This displacement advantageously takes place against a return force exerted by an elastically deformable element, such as a spring R interposed between the latch and the plate.
  • the spring R is optional.
  • the presence of one or more polarizer (s) realized (s) in the form of a rod T which fits into a corresponding hole in the plate ensures the insertion of the plug in adequacy with the base when inserted into the plate.
  • the pins 6b engage in the slots 4e.
  • the position visible on the figure 6b in which the pins 6b are located at the inlet of the slots, corresponds to a contact between the male and female contacts of the connectors.
  • the position 6c corresponds to the end position of the latch 4 in the retracted position.
  • the lock is manually advanced by action on the end of the lock end 4d.
  • This phase corresponds to the beginning of the phase of assistance to the connection of the connectors.
  • the pins 6b bear against the ramp 4f of the slots 4e until they reach the end of the godron 4h ( figure 6f ), which corresponds to the end of the assistance phase.
  • a supplementary force applied manually causes compression of a compressible material 9 provided between the connectors so that the passage of the pins in the godron 4h requires an additional effort easily identifiable by the operator .
  • This material may for example be obtained by overmolding a silicone.
  • connection system according to the invention is also adapted to provide assistance in disconnecting connectors. Uncoupling is achieved by manually moving the latch forward.
  • the male contacts are fully extracted from the female contacts and the plug is in the retracted position.
  • the plug is free and can be extracted manually.
  • the system which has just been described may also be provided with a cap or a cap of electrically conductive material (not shown) to form an electromagnetic shield.
