Description

La présente invention concerne un connecteur débrochable et une rangée de connecteurs débrochables pour bloc de jonction.The present invention relates to a withdrawable connector and a row of removable connectors for terminal block.

Un connecteur débrochable pour bloc de jonction assure la connexion électrique entre un fil électrique conducteur et une prise du bloc de jonction à laquelle le connecteur débrochable est raccordé.A withdrawable connector for terminal block provides the electrical connection between a conductive electrical wire and a plug of the terminal block to which the plug-in connector is connected.

Un connecteur débrochable peut ainsi être remplacé aisément. Le bloc de jonction peut aussi présenter une rangée de prises de connexion alignées ou plusieurs blocs de jonction peuvent être alignés de manière à présenter également des prises de connexion alignées.A plug-in connector can be easily replaced. The terminal block may also have a row of aligned jacks or multiple terminal blocks may be aligned to also have aligned jacks.

Ainsi il est connu de regrouper plusieurs connecteurs débrochables sous forme d'une rangée de connecteurs débrochage qui est ensuite raccordée à l'ensemble de prises correspondantes. On dispose alors d'une rangée débrochable unique permettant le raccordement d'un ensemble de fils électriques conducteurs à des prises correspondantes et non d'une multitude de connecteurs débrochables individuels.Thus, it is known to group several removable connectors in the form of a row of plug-in connectors which is then connected to the set of corresponding sockets. There is then a single withdrawable row for connecting a set of conductive electrical son to corresponding outlets and not a multitude of individual detachable connectors.

Le nombre de connecteurs débrochables d'une rangée peut varier. Une solution consiste à prévoir des connecteurs débrochables agencés pour être montés de manière amovible ensemble et ainsi former une rangée plus ou moins longue.The number of plug-in connectors in a row may vary. One solution is to provide detachable connectors arranged to be mounted removably together and thus form a more or less long row.

Pour ce faire, chaque connecteur débrochable doit comprendre un système de coopération amovible avec un connecteur débrochable attenant. Cependant les connecteurs débrochables des extrémités de la rangée doivent présenter un côté sans système de coopération, en particulier si le système de coopération présente un élément saillant.To do this, each plug-in connector must include a removable cooperation system with an adjoining withdrawable connector. However, the withdrawable connectors of the ends of the row must have a side without a cooperation system, especially if the cooperation system has a salient element.

Cette contrainte impose d'avoir plusieurs modèles différents connecteurs débrochables s'il s'agit d'un connecteur d'une première extrémité de la rangée, d'une deuxième extrémité, d'un connecteur intermédiaire ou bien d'un connecteur débrochable à utiliser seul. Ceci peut engendrer des difficultés et confusions dans la gestion des différents types de connecteurs.This constraint imposes to have several different models plug-in connectors if it is a connector of a first end of the row, a second end, an intermediate connector or a plug-in connector to use alone. This can cause difficulties and confusion in the management of different types of connectors.

La présente invention vise à résoudre tout ou partie des inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.The present invention aims to solve all or some of the disadvantages mentioned above.

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un connecteur débrochable pour bloc de jonction agencé pour coopérer avec au moins un autre connecteur débrochable pour former une rangée de connecteurs débrochages s'étendant selon une direction d'extension de la rangée dite direction longitudinale, ledit connecteur débrochable comprenant :

  • un assemblage de connexion électrique pourvu d'une borne de connexion pour un fil électrique conducteur et une prise de connexion agencée pour coopérer avec une prise complémentaire du bloc de jonction,
  • un corps isolant présentant une cavité dans laquelle est disposé l'assemblage de connexion, la cavité définissant une ouverture à travers une première paroi transversale du corps isolant et la cavité étant ménagée entre la première paroi transversale et une deuxième paroi transversale du corps,
  • un premier agencement de coopération comprenant au moins une saillie de la première paroi transversale s'étendant selon la direction longitudinale ou comprenant au moins une accroche destinée à un élément de fermeture amovible de l'ouverture,
  • un deuxième agencement de coopération comprenant au moins un enfoncement ménagé dans le corps isolant entre la première paroi transversale et la seconde paroi transversale, et, agencé pour coopérer avec l'au moins une saillie de la première paroi transversale d'un autre connecteur débrochable.
For this purpose, the present invention relates to a withdrawable connector for a terminal block arranged to cooperate with at least one other withdrawable connector to form a row of plug-in connectors extending in a direction of extension of the so-called longitudinal direction row, said connector pluggable device comprising:
  • an electrical connection assembly provided with a connection terminal for a conductive electrical wire and a connection socket arranged to cooperate with a complementary socket of the terminal block,
  • an insulating body having a cavity in which the connection assembly is arranged, the cavity defining an opening through a first transverse wall of the insulating body and the cavity being formed between the first transverse wall and a second transverse wall of the body,
  • a first cooperation arrangement comprising at least one projection of the first transverse wall extending in the longitudinal direction or comprising at least one hook for a removable closure element of the opening,
  • a second cooperation arrangement comprising at least one recess formed in the insulating body between the first transverse wall and the second transverse wall, and arranged to cooperate with the at least one projection of the first transverse wall of another withdrawable connector.

Un premier type de connecteur débrochable, dont le premier agencement de coopération comprend une accroche destinée à un élément de fermeture amovible, peut être utilisé en tant que connecteur débrochable individuel.A first type of plug-in connector, whose first cooperation arrangement comprises a catch for a removable closure element, can be used as an individual plug-in connector.

En Effet, lorsque ce connecteur débrochable de premier type coopère avec un élément de fermeture amovible, l'ouverture du corps isolant est refermée, ce qui permet la mise en place de ce connecteur débrochable sur un bloc de jonction.Indeed, when this first type plug-in connector cooperates with a removable closure element, the opening of the insulating body is closed, which allows the introduction of this plug-in connector on a terminal block.

Un second type de connecteur, dont le premier agencement de coopération comprend au moins une saillie, est agencé pour coopérer avec un connecteur débrochable de premier type et/ou un connecteur débrochable de deuxième type.A second type of connector, whose first cooperation arrangement comprises at least one projection, is arranged to cooperate with a first type plug-in connector and / or a second type plug-in connector.

Il est ainsi possible de constituer une rangée de connecteurs débrochable en utilisant seulement deux types différents de connecteurs débrochables : un connecteur débrochable de premier type et au moins un connecteur débrochable de deuxième type.It is thus possible to form a branch of plug-in connectors using only two different types of plug-in connectors: a first type plug-in connector and at least one plug-in connector of the second type.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la deuxième paroi transversale du corps isolant s'étend en regard de l'assemblage de connexion.According to one aspect of the invention, the second transverse wall of the insulating body extends opposite the connection assembly.

Lorsque deux connecteurs débrochables coopèrent, l'assemblage de connexion électrique d'un connecteur est protégé d'un côté par la seconde paroi transversale de son corps isolant et de l'autre côté par la seconde paroi transversale de l'autre connecteur débrochable attenant.When two withdrawable connectors cooperate, the electrical connection assembly of a connector is protected on one side by the second transverse wall of its insulating body and on the other side by the second transverse wall of the other withdrawable connector.

Ainsi dans une rangée comprenant plusieurs connecteurs débrochables, chaque assemblage de connexion électrique est protégé des deux côtés par une seule paroi qui est soit une seconde paroi transversale d'un corps isolant soit un élément de fermeture amovible.Thus in a row comprising several withdrawable connectors, each electrical connection assembly is protected on both sides by a single wall which is either a second transverse wall of an insulating body or a removable closure element.

Cette disposition est avantageuse dans le sens où deux parois appartenant à deux connecteurs attenants ne sont pas disposées l'une contre l'autre. Le nombre de parois transversales pour la protection de l'assemblage de connexion électrique est limité au stricte nécessaire.This arrangement is advantageous in the sense that two walls belonging to two adjacent connectors are not arranged one against the other. The number of transverse walls for the protection of the electrical connection assembly is limited to the strictly necessary.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, au moins une saillie du premier agencement de coopération est un tenon rapporté sur la première paroi et/ou dans lequel au moins un enfoncement du deuxième agencement de coopération est une mortaise complémentaire audit tenon, ledit tenon et ladite mortaise s'étendant selon un même axe parallèle à la direction longitudinale.According to one aspect of the invention, at least one projection of the first cooperation arrangement is a pin attached to the first wall and / or in which at least one depression of the second cooperation arrangement is a complementary mortise said tenon, said tenon and said mortise extending along the same axis parallel to the longitudinal direction.

La coopération de type tenon mortaise permet une mise en place simple d'un connecteur débrochable par rapport à un autre en vue de les faire coopérer.The type of mortise tenon cooperation allows a simple implementation of a removable connector relative to another in order to make them cooperate.

De manière similaire, il est aisé de séparer deux connecteurs débrochables coopérant soit à la main soit à l'aide d'un outil s'introduisant entre les deux connecteurs comme un tournevis plat par exemple.Similarly, it is easy to separate two withdrawable connectors cooperating either by hand or using a tool between the two connectors as a flat screwdriver for example.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, au moins une saillie du premier agencement de coopération et/ou au moins un enfoncement du deuxième agencement de coopération sont compris dans un système d'encliquetage, l'au moins une saillie correspondant à une partie saillante du système d'encliquetage et/ou l'au moins un enfoncement correspondant à une partie enfoncée du système d'encliquetage.According to one aspect of the invention, at least one projection of the first cooperation arrangement and / or at least one depression of the second cooperation arrangement are included in a latching system, the at least one protrusion corresponding to a projecting portion of the snap-in system and / or the at least one depression corresponding to a recessed portion of the snap-in system.

Le premier agencement et le deuxième agencement peuvent être constitués par ou comprendre un système d'encliquetage. Ce dernier a pour effet de permettre une mise en place de la coopération aisée ainsi qu'un démontage facile de deux connecteurs.The first arrangement and the second arrangement may consist of or comprise a latching system. The latter has the effect of allowing the establishment of easy cooperation and easy disassembly of two connectors.

Une rangée constituée de plusieurs connecteurs présente ainsi une cohésion permettant une manipulation aisée de l'ensemble, notamment pour la mise en place de la rangée sur le ou les blocs de jonctions correspondant.A row consisting of several connectors thus has a cohesion allowing easy handling of the assembly, especially for the establishment of the row on the corresponding block or junction blocks.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le corps isolant, le premier agencement de coopération et le deuxième agencement de coopération constituent une pièce d'un seul tenant, de préférence réalisée par moulage.According to one aspect of the invention, the insulating body, the first cooperation arrangement and the second cooperation arrangement constitute an integral part, preferably made by molding.

Cette disposition permet une production rapide, standardisée de connecteurs débrochables de premier type et de connecteurs débrochables de deuxième type.This arrangement allows a fast, standardized production of removable connectors of the first type and removable connectors of the second type.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le premier agencement de coopération comprend au moins une accroche destinée à un élément de fermeture amovible de l'ouverture, l'accroche présentant un orifice de fixation amovible ménagé dans la première paroi transversale.According to one aspect of the invention, the first cooperation arrangement comprises at least one hook for a removable closure member of the opening, the hook having a removable attachment hole in the first transverse wall.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la première paroi transversale présente un retrait s'étendant selon la direction longitudinale et étant disposé autour de l'ouverture, l'au moins un orifice de fixation amovible étant ménagé dans le retrait.According to one aspect of the invention, the first transverse wall has a recess extending in the longitudinal direction and being arranged around the opening, the at least one removable fixing hole being formed in the recess.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le connecteur débrochable comprend en outre un élément de fermeture amovible présentant pour chaque orifice de fixation amovible un plot de coopération complémentaire, la hauteur du retrait correspondant au moins à l'épaisseur de l'élément de fermeture amovible.According to one aspect of the invention, the detachable connector further comprises a removable closure element having for each removable attachment hole a complementary engagement pad, the height of the shrink corresponding to at least the thickness of the removable closure element .

Lorsqu'un élément de fermeture amovible coopère avec un connecteur débrochable de premier type, l'encombrement de cet ensemble selon la direction longitudinale n'en est pas affecté.When a removable closure member cooperates with a first type plug-in connector, the overall size of this assembly in the longitudinal direction is not affected.

La présente invention concerne également une rangée de connecteurs débrochages comprenant :

  • un connecteur débrochable tel que décrit ci-avant dit connecteur débrochable de premier type, dont le premier agencement de coopération comprend au moins une accroche destinée à un élément de fermeture amovible de l'ouverture,
  • un élément de fermeture amovible agencé pour coopérer de manière amovible avec l'au moins une accroche du connecteur débrochable de premier type,

Comme illustré à la figure 1, un bloc de jonction 1 comprend deux prises 3 complémentaires agencées pour coopérer avec deux connecteurs débrochables 5.As illustrated in figure 1 , a junction block 1 comprises two complementary jacks 3 arranged to cooperate with two withdrawable connectors 5.

Comme illustré aux figures 8 à 10, chaque connecteur débrochable 5 comprend un assemblage de connexion électrique 7 pourvu d'une borne de connexion 9 agencée pour coopérer avec un fil électrique conducteur et une prise de connexion 11 agencée pour coopérer avec une prise 3 complémentaire du bloc de jonction 1.As illustrated in Figures 8 to 10 each detachable connector 5 comprises an electrical connection assembly 7 provided with a connection terminal 9 arranged to cooperate with a conductive electrical wire and a connection socket 11 arranged to cooperate with a complementary socket 3 of the terminal block 1.

Chaque connecteur débrochable 5 comprend également un corps isolant 13 dans lequel est ménagée une cavité 15. La cavité 15 définit une ouverture 17 à travers une première paroi transversale 19 du corps isolant 13.Each detachable connector 5 also comprises an insulating body 13 in which a cavity 15 is formed. The cavity 15 defines an opening 17 through a first transverse wall 19 of the insulating body 13.

L'assemblage de connexion électrique 7 est disposé dans la cavité 15 à un emplacement de coopération 21 du corps isolant 13. Le corps isolant 13 comprend une seconde paroi transversale 23 s'étendant en regard de l'assemblage de connexion électrique 7 et étant attenante à l'emplacement de coopération 21.The electrical connection assembly 7 is disposed in the cavity 15 at a location of cooperation 21 of the insulating body 13. The insulating body 13 comprises a second transverse wall 23 extending opposite the electrical connection assembly 7 and being adjacent at the cooperation location 21.

Comme illustré aux figures 2 à 5, une rangée 25 de connecteurs débrochables 5 comprend une pluralité de connecteurs débrochables assemblés et un élément de fermeture amovible 27. La rangée 25 s'étend selon une direction d'extension dite direction longitudinale 29.As illustrated in Figures 2 to 5 a row 25 of withdrawable connectors 5 comprises a plurality of assembled withdrawable connectors and a removable closure element 27. The row 25 extends in a direction of extension called longitudinal direction 29.

Ainsi la première paroi transversale 19 et la seconde paroi transversale 23 de chaque connecteur débrochable 5 de la rangée 25 est bien disposée transversalement à la direction longitudinale 29.Thus the first transverse wall 19 and the second transverse wall 23 of each withdrawable connector 5 of the row 25 is arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction 29.

On différencie, comme décrit ci-dessous, les connecteurs débrochables d'un premier type 5a et les connecteurs débrochables d'un deuxième type 5b.As described below, the detachable connectors of a first type 5a and the withdrawable connectors of a second type 5b are differentiated.

Comme illustré aux figures 6 à 8 et 11, un connecteur débrochable de premier type 5a comprend un premier agencement de coopération 31 a agencé pour coopérer avec un élément de fermeture amovible 27 et un deuxième agencement de coopération 33 agencé pour coopérer avec un connecteur débrochable de deuxième type 5b.As illustrated in Figures 6 to 8 and 11 a first type withdrawable connector 5a comprises a first cooperation arrangement 31 arranged to cooperate with a removable closure element 27 and a second cooperation arrangement 33 arranged to cooperate with a second type 5b withdrawable connector.

Le premier agencement de coopération 31 a comprend une accroche 35 destinée à coopérer avec un élément de fermeture amovible 27. Dans le mode de réalisation présenté, l'accroche 35 présente un orifice de fixation amovible 37 ménagé dans la première paroi transversale 19 et s'étendant selon la direction longitudinale 29.The first cooperation arrangement 31a comprises a hook 35 intended to cooperate with a removable closure element 27. In the embodiment shown, the hook 35 has a removable fastening orifice 37 formed in the first transverse wall 19 and extending in the longitudinal direction 29.

L'orifice de fixation amovible 37 est agencé pour coopérer avec un plot de coopération complémentaire 39 de l'élément de fermeture 27.The removable fixing orifice 37 is arranged to cooperate with a complementary engagement pad 39 of the closure element 27.

La première paroi transversale 19 présente un retrait 41 s'étendant selon la direction longitudinale 29 en direction de la seconde paroi transversale 23 selon une hauteur h au moins égale à l'épaisseur ep de l'élément de fermeture amovible 27.The first transverse wall 19 has a recess 41 extending in the longitudinal direction 29 towards the second transverse wall 23 at a height h at least equal to the thickness ep of the removable closure element 27.

Ainsi, l'élément de fermeture amovible 27 permet de refermer l'ouverture 17 engendrée par la cavité 15 tout en ne dépassant longitudinalement pas du gabarit du connecteur débrochable de premier type 5a.Thus, the removable closure member 27 allows to close the opening 17 generated by the cavity 15 while not extending longitudinally of the template of the first type of withdrawable connector 5a.

Le deuxième agencement de coopération 33 comprend une pluralité d'enfoncements 43 ménagés dans la seconde paroi transversale 23 et s'étendant selon la direction longitudinale 29 depuis la deuxième paroi transversale 23 vers la première paroi transversale 19.The second cooperation arrangement 33 comprises a plurality of depressions 43 formed in the second transverse wall 23 and extending in the longitudinal direction 29 from the second transverse wall 23 to the first transverse wall 19.

Comme illustré aux figures 9, 10 et 12, un connecteur débrochable de deuxième type 5b comprend un premier agencement de coopération 31 b agencé pour coopérer avec un deuxième agencement de coopération 33 et comprend également un deuxième agencement de coopération 33.As illustrated in Figures 9, 10 and 12 a second type plug-in connector 5b comprises a first cooperation arrangement 31b arranged to cooperate with a second cooperation arrangement 33 and also comprises a second cooperation arrangement 33.

Le premier agencement de coopération 31b du connecteur débrochable de deuxième type 5b comprend une pluralité de saillies 45 de la première paroi transversale 19 s'étendant selon la direction longitudinale 29.The first cooperating arrangement 31b of the second type plug-in connector 5b comprises a plurality of projections 45 of the first transverse wall 19 extending in the longitudinal direction 29.

Ces saillies 45 sont agencées pour coopérer avec des enfoncements 43 complémentaires d'un deuxième agencement de coopération 33 selon une coopération de type tenon mortaise.These projections 45 are arranged to cooperate with complementary depressions 43 of a second cooperation arrangement 33 in a mortise-type cooperation.

De plus, le premier agencement de coopération 31 b comprend une partie saillante 47a et le deuxième agencement de coopération 33 comprend une partie enfoncée 47b constituant un système d'encliquetage 47.In addition, the first engagement arrangement 31b includes a projecting portion 47a and the second engagement arrangement 33 comprises a recessed portion 47b constituting a detent 47.

Ainsi le premier agencement de coopération 31 b et le deuxième agencement de coopération 33 de connecteurs débrochables de deuxième type 5b comprennent des saillies 45 et enfoncements 43 de type tenon mortaise et un système d'encliquetage 47. Il est également à remarquer que les connecteurs débrochables de premier type 5a comprennent également une partie enfoncée 47b de système d'encliquetage 47.Thus, the first cooperation arrangement 31b and the second cooperation arrangement 33 of removable connectors of the second type 5b comprise projections 45 and recesses 43 of the mortise tenon type and a latching system 47. It should also be noted that the withdrawable connectors of first type 5a also comprise a recessed portion 47b of latching system 47.

Il ressort de la présente description qu'une rangée 25 de connecteurs débrochables 5 comprend un élément de fermeture amovible 27, un connecteur débrochable de premier type 5a et au moins un connecteur débrochable de deuxième type 5b.It will be clear from the present description that a row 25 of withdrawable connectors 5 comprises a removable closure element 27, a first type withdrawable connector 5a and at least one second type 5b withdrawable connector.

En pratique, l'élément de fermeture amovible 27 est toujours associé à un connecteur débrochable de premier type 5a que ce soit pour utiliser ce connecteur 5 comme connecteur 5 individuel ou pour utiliser ce connecteur 5 dans une rangée 25.In practice, the removable closure element 27 is always associated with a first type plug-in connector 5a whether to use this connector 5 as an individual connector or to use this connector 5 in a row 25.

Il est alors possible de disposer que de deux références différentes pour la gestion des pièces : une référence pour le connecteur débrochable de premier type 5a associé à l'élément de fermeture amovible 27 et une référence pour le connecteur débrochable de deuxième type 5b.It is then possible to have only two different references for the management of the parts: a reference for the first type plug-in connector 5a associated with the removable closure element 27 and a reference for the second type 5b plug-in connector.

Cet avantage est lié à la disposition des saillies 45 de type tenon du côté de l'ouverture 17 pour les connecteurs débrochables de deuxième type 5b. Ainsi, contrairement aux rangées 25 pouvant présenter un modèle de connecteur pour une première extrémité de la rangée 25, un modèle de connecteur pour une deuxième extrémité de la rangée 25 et un modèle de connecteur intermédiaire, les présentes dispositions permettent une réduction du nombre de modèles de trois à deux.This advantage is related to the arrangement of the stud-like projections 45 on the side of the opening 17 for the removable connectors of the second type 5b. Thus, unlike the rows 25 which may have a connector pattern for a first end of the row 25, a connector pattern for a second end of the row 25 and an intermediate connector pattern, the present arrangements allow a reduction in the number of patterns. from three to two.

Les avantages sont donc considérables en termes de gestion de pièces que ce soit pour la logistique ou pour reconnaitre de quel type de connecteur débrochable 5a, 5b il s'agit. La confusion entre les différents modèles 5a, 5b est ainsi limitée.The advantages are therefore considerable in terms of parts management whether for logistics or to recognize what type of plug-in connector 5a, 5b it is. The confusion between the different models 5a, 5b is thus limited.

En outre, le corps isolant 13, le premier agencement de coopération 13a, 13b et le deuxième agencement de coopération 33 peuvent être fabriqués en une pièce d'un seul tenant. La réduction du nombre de modèles est donc aussi avantageuse en termes de fabrication puisque seulement deux moules différents sont nécessaires lorsque la pièce d'un seul tenant est réalisée par moulage.In addition, the insulating body 13, the first cooperating arrangement 13a, 13b and the second cooperating arrangement 33 may be made in one piece. Reducing the number of models is therefore also advantageous in terms of manufacturing since only two different molds are needed when the single piece is made by molding.

Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce connecteur débrochable et cette rangée de connecteurs débrochables, décrits ci-dessus à titre d'exemple, elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes de réalisation.As goes without saying, the invention is not limited to the single embodiment of this plug-in connector and this row of withdrawable connectors, described above as an example, it encompasses all variants of production.
