Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine du raccordement électrique, et plus particulièrement le domaine des connecteurs débrochables destinés à être raccordés à un bloc de jonction.The present invention relates to the field of electrical connection, and more particularly the field of plug-in connectors intended to be connected to a terminal block.

Il est connu d'utiliser des connecteurs débrochables destinés à raccorder électriquement un ensemble de fils conducteurs avec une ou plusieurs bornes de connexion à un circuit électrique. Il est également connu d'inscrire des informations d'identification sur les connecteurs débrochables, sous la forme d'au moins un repère disposé sur une des surfaces externes du connecteur. Le repère est habituellement disposé sur la surface plane longitudinale du connecteur qui, dans les configurations habituelles d'utilisation de ces connecteurs, se trouve être à l'arrière du connecteur par rapport à l'opérateur; le repère se trouve donc le plus souvent masqué par le connecteur lui-même, et/ou par le faisceau de fils conducteurs raccordés au connecteur. Il est par ailleurs nécessaire de solidariser avec le connecteur considéré l'ensemble des fils conducteurs raccordés à ce connecteur.It is known to use plug-in connectors for electrically connecting a set of conductive wires with one or more connection terminals to an electrical circuit. It is also known to enter identification information on the withdrawable connectors, in the form of at least one mark disposed on one of the outer surfaces of the connector. The marker is usually disposed on the longitudinal flat surface of the connector which, in the usual configurations of use of these connectors, is at the rear of the connector relative to the operator; the mark is therefore most often hidden by the connector itself, and / or by the bundle of conductive wires connected to the connector. It is also necessary to secure with the connector considered all of the conductive son connected to this connector.

L'invention a donc pour but de proposer une solution à ces problèmes.The invention therefore aims to propose a solution to these problems.

Grâce à ces dispositions, le repère n'est pas masqué par les fils conducteurs raccordés à l'équipement de raccordement, qui se trouvent maintenus derrière le dispositif de liaison, le repère étant devant.Thanks to these provisions, the mark is not hidden by the wires connected to the connecting equipment, which are held behind the connecting device, the mark being in front.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le connecteur est débrochable et destiné à être connecté à un bloc de jonction.According to one aspect of the invention, the connector is withdrawable and intended to be connected to a terminal block.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le corps du dispositif est réalisé en matière isolante.According to one aspect of the invention, the body of the device is made of insulating material.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la troisième portion de fixation comprend au moins une cavité ménagée dans la première face et au moins un élément de fixation positionné sur la deuxième face coopérant avec au moins un élément de fixation complémentaire sur le repère.According to one aspect of the invention, the third fixing portion comprises at least one cavity formed in the first face and at least one fastening element positioned on the second face cooperating with at least one complementary fastening element on the mark.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, le au moins un élément de fixation comprend au moins un trou traversant débouchant dans l'au moins une cavité en formant un zone de butée.According to one aspect of the invention, the at least one fixing element comprises at least one through hole opening into the at least one cavity forming a stop zone.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'élément de fixation complémentaire comprend une portion d'appui contre la zone de butée.According to one aspect of the invention, the complementary fastening element comprises a bearing portion against the abutment zone.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la distance entre la zone de butée et la surface de la première face correspond à au moins 50% de la dimension de l'extension de l'élément de fixation complémentaire comprise entre la portion d'appui et l'extrémité de l'extension.According to one aspect of the invention, the distance between the abutment zone and the surface of the first face corresponds to at least 50% of the dimension of the extension of the complementary fastening element between the bearing portion and the end of the extension.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la cavité est configurée pour recevoir entièrement l'extension.According to one aspect of the invention, the cavity is configured to fully receive the extension.

Grâce à ces dispositions, l'au moins un élément de fixation du repère est protégé par la cavité vis-à-vis de la pression d'un objet, notamment du faisceau de fils, éventuellement comprimé contre la première face du dispositif.Thanks to these provisions, the at least one fixing element of the marker is protected by the cavity vis-à-vis the pressure of an object, in particular the bundle of son, possibly compressed against the first face of the device.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, la première portion de fixation est positionnée entre une première zone et une deuxième zone de rétrécissement de la section du dispositif.According to one aspect of the invention, the first fixing portion is positioned between a first zone and a second zone of narrowing of the section of the device.

Grâce à ces dispositions, un anneau circulaire flexible enserrant le dispositif et le faisceau de fils sera maintenu à l'intérieur de la première portion de fixation.With these provisions, a flexible circular ring enclosing the device and the wire bundle will be maintained within the first fixing portion.

Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est décrite en référence aux dessins ci-annexés représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention.

  • Figure 2 est une vue en perspective du dispositif selon l'invention, sans repère.
  • Figures 3a et 3b sont deux vues en perspective d'un repère.
  • Figure 4 est une vue en perspective du dispositif selon l'invention, muni du repère et présentant la face du dispositif opposée à celle sur laquelle le repère est rapporté.
  • Figure 5 est une vue en perspective du dispositif fixé au connecteur.
For a good understanding, the invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings showing, by way of non-limiting example, an embodiment of a device according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention provided with a marker and mounted on a plug-in connector.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention, without reference.
  • Figures 3a and 3b are two perspective views of a landmark.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention, provided with the reference and having the face of the device opposite to that on which the reference is reported.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the device attached to the connector.

La figure 2 présente une vue en perspective d'un mode de réalisation du dispositif de maintien mécanique 1 selon l'invention.The figure 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the mechanical holding device 1 according to the invention.

Ce dispositif, réalisé de préférence en matériau isolant et flexible, présente une forme de parallélépipède rectangulaire, aplati et allongé, avec deux faces principales, opposées l'une à l'autre 2, 3.This device, preferably made of insulating and flexible material, has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, flattened and elongate, with two main faces, opposite to each other 2, 3.

Dans le sens de la longueur du dispositif, on peut distinguer trois portions principales ayant chacune une fonction de fixation déterminée.In the direction of the length of the device, one can distinguish three main portions each having a specific fixing function.

Une première portion de fixation, qui dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 2, comprend deux parties qui peuvent chacune indépendamment l'une de l'autre assurer la fonction de maintien mécanique du faisceau de fils contre l'une des faces 2 du dispositif.A first fixing portion, which in the embodiment shown on the figure 2 comprises two parts which can each independently of one another perform the function of mechanically holding the wire bundle against one of the faces 2 of the device.

La première partie de la première portion de fixation est constituée de deux ouvertures traversantes (4d, 4c) entre les deux faces du dispositif, à l'intérieur desquelles peut s'enfiler un anneau circulaire 12 un peu moins large que ces ouvertures, pour enserrer le faisceau de fils conducteurs raccordés au connecteur et le maintenir mécaniquement contre l'une des faces 2 du dispositif. Ce premier mode de maintien n'est pas représenté à la figure 1.The first part of the first fixing portion consists of two through openings (4d, 4c) between the two faces of the device, inside which can be slipped a circular ring 12 slightly smaller than these openings, to grip the bundle of conductive wires connected to the connector and maintain it mechanically against one of the faces 2 of the device. This first maintenance mode is not represented at the figure 1 .

La deuxième partie de la première portion de fixation est située entre une première zone de rétrécissement 4a et une deuxième zone de rétrécissement 4b de la largeur du parallélépipède rectangulaire. Chacune de ces zones de rétrécissement 4a, 4b forme un épaulement sur la bordure du dispositif de part et d'autre de celui-ci dans le sens de la largeur; un anneau circulaire 12 peut être positionné entre ces épaulements, comme représenté à la figure 1, de manière à enserrer le faisceau de fils raccordés au connecteur avec cette portion du dispositif et à maintenir mécaniquement le faisceau contre l'une des faces 2 du dispositif ; les deux épaulements empêchent notamment un glissement de l'anneau circulaire 12 au-delà de la portion du dispositif comprise entre les deux épaulements 4a, 4b.The second portion of the first fixing portion is located between a first narrowing zone 4a and a second narrowing zone 4b of the width of the rectangular parallelepiped. Each of these narrowing zones 4a, 4b forms a shoulder on the border of the device on either side of it in the width direction; a circular ring 12 can be positioned between these shoulders, as shown in FIG. figure 1 , so as to grip the bundle of son connected to the connector with this portion of the device and mechanically maintain the beam against one of the faces 2 of the device; the two shoulders prevent in particular a sliding of the circular ring 12 beyond the portion of the device between the two shoulders 4a, 4b.

Il faut noter que si besoin, rien n'empêche de combiner ensemble l'utilisation des deux parties de la première portion de fixation, en utilisant à la fois un premier anneau circulaire 12 enfilé dans les deux trous de la première partie, et un deuxième anneau circulaire 12 positionné entre les épaulements délimitant la deuxième partie, pour maintenir le faisceau de fils conducteurs raccordés au connecteur contre l'une des faces 2 du dispositif, et ainsi solidariser l'ensemble des fils entre eux et avec le dispositif de maintien mécanique.It should be noted that, if need be, nothing prevents combining together the use of the two parts of the first fixing portion, by using both a first circular ring 12 threaded into the two holes of the first portion, and a second circular ring 12 positioned between the shoulders delimiting the second part, to maintain the bundle of conductive son connected to the connector against one of the faces 2 of the device, and thus secure all the son together and with the mechanical holding device.

Une deuxième portion de fixation 5 est placée sous la première dans le mode de réalisation du dispositif de maintien mécanique représenté à la figure 2. Cette deuxième portion de fixation est délimitée par un évidement creusé dans l'épaisseur du dispositif, sur chaque face 2, 3 de celui-ci ; cet évidement forme sur chaque face 2, 3 une cavité de forme rectangulaire ; deux trous ou fentes traversants 5a, 5b créent une percée entre le fond d'une cavité et le fond de l'autre, ces fentes étant positionnées aux extrémités de la longueur des cavités; ces fentes ou trous traversants sont complémentaires des deux extensions 7a, 7b du repère 7, et permettent de fixer, ou de clipser, le repère 7 contre la face du dispositif opposée à celle contre laquelle les fils conducteurs sont maintenus mécaniquement par la première portion de fixation, et également contre laquelle le connecteur est maintenu par la troisième portion de fixation, comme cela sera précisé ci-dessous. La visibilité du repère est ainsi assurée. Le repère 7 a en outre de préférence une forme complémentaire à celle de la cavité à l'intérieur de laquelle il peut s'insérer. Il faut néanmoins noter que selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, la deuxième portion de fixation peut ne comporter qu'une seule cavité 11 sur la face 2, les trous ou fentes traversants étant réalisés entre la face 3 sans évidement et le fond de la cavité 11 formée sur la face 2. Dans ce cas le repère est rapporté sur la face 3 sans s'insérer dans une cavité.A second fixing portion 5 is placed under the first in the embodiment of the mechanical holding device shown in FIG. figure 2 . This second fixing portion is delimited by a recess dug in the thickness of the device, on each face 2, 3 thereof; this recess forms on each face 2, 3 a cavity of rectangular shape; two holes or through slots 5a, 5b create a breakthrough between the bottom of a cavity and the bottom of the other, these slots being positioned at the ends of the length of the cavities; these slots or holes through are complementary to the two extensions 7a, 7b of the mark 7, and allow to fix, or clip, the mark 7 against the face of the device opposite to that against which the conductive son are mechanically held by the first fixing portion, and also against which the connector is held by the third attachment portion, as will be specified below. The visibility of the marker is thus ensured. The reference 7 also preferably has a shape complementary to that of the cavity inside which it can be inserted. It should nevertheless be noted that according to another embodiment of the invention, the second fixing portion may have only one cavity 11 on the face 2, the holes or through slots being made between the face 3 without recess and the bottom of the cavity 11 formed on the face 2. In this case the marker is attached to the face 3 without inserting into a cavity.

La figure 4 présente en perspective la première face 2 du dispositif opposée à celle sur laquelle le repère 7 est rapporté. Les fentes ou trous traversants 5a et 5b débouchent sur cette face 2 à l'intérieur d'une cavité 11 du dispositif, en formant au niveau du fond de la cavité une zone de butée. Les extensions 7a, 7b du repère 7 sont agencées pour s'insérer dans les fentes ou trous traversants complémentaires 5a et 5b et déboucher au niveau du fond de la cavité. Lorsque le repère arrive en butée contre la face opposée à la cavité 11, une portion de chaque extension est en appui sur la zone de butée formée au débouché du trou ou de la fente traversée par l'extension considérée, tandis qu'une portion complémentaire de l'extension s'étend au-delà. La dimension de cette portion complémentaire, comprise entre la portion d'appui et l'extrémité de l'extension, peut être inférieure à la profondeur de la cavité 11, de sorte que ces extensions ne dépassent pas à l'extérieur du volume délimité par cette cavité. Ces extensions sont ainsi protégées par la cavité d'une pression qui pourrait résulter d'un objet externe appuyé contre cette face du dispositif, et notamment du faisceau des fils maintenus contre cette face du dispositif, pression qui aurait pour effet de repousser les extensions hors de leur logement respectif. Dans l'hypothèse où ces extensions 5a et 5b dépasseraient à l'extérieur du volume délimité par la cavité, elles ne seraient malgré tout pas repoussées suffisamment pour être extraites de leur logement, du fait des bords de la cavité qui empêcheraient la pression de s'exercer jusqu'au fond de la cavité sur les extensions 5a et 5b. De préférence, on choisira la dimension des extensions de sorte que la distance entre la zone de butée formée au débouché du trou traversant au fond de la cavité et la surface de la première face, autrement dit la profondeur de la cavité 11, soit au moins égale à 50 % de la dimension d'une extension comprise entre la portion d'appui et l'extrémité de l'extension.The figure 4 presents in perspective the first face 2 of the device opposite to that on which the reference 7 is reported. The slots or through holes 5a and 5b open on this face 2 inside a cavity 11 of the device, forming at the bottom of the cavity a stop zone. The extensions 7a, 7b of the mark 7 are arranged to fit into the slots or complementary through holes 5a and 5b and open at the bottom of the cavity. When the mark comes into abutment against the opposite face to the cavity 11, a portion of each extension bears against the abutment zone formed at the outlet of the hole or slot through which the extension is considered, while a complementary portion extension extends beyond. The dimension of this complementary portion, between the support portion and the end of the extension, may be less than the depth of the cavity 11, so that these extensions do not exceed outside the volume defined by this cavity. These extensions are thus protected by the cavity of a pressure which could result from an external object pressed against this face of the device, and in particular the bundle of wires held against this face of the device, a pressure which would have the effect of pushing the extensions off. of their respective homes. In the event that these extensions 5a and 5b exceed outside the volume defined by the cavity, they would still not be pushed enough to be extracted from their housing, because of the edges of the cavity that would prevent the pressure of s exert to the bottom of the cavity on the extensions 5a and 5b. Preferably, the size of the extensions will be chosen so that the distance between the abutment zone formed at the outlet of the through hole at the bottom of the cavity and the surface of the first face, in other words the depth of the cavity 11, is at least less than 50% of the dimension of an extension between the support portion and the end of the extension.

La description de la troisième et dernière portion de fixation du dispositif de maintien sera faite en référence aux figures 4 et 5. Cette portion de fixation est formée sur la face 2 du dispositif, qui est présentée à la figure 4, et contre laquelle est également maintenu l'ensemble des fils conducteurs.
