Definitions
- Connector for a motor vehicle having a female contact having a socket with at least one flexible tongue
- the invention relates to the field of electrical connectors, for example electrical power connectors and, in particular, electric power connectors for electric motor vehicles or rechargeable hybrids.
- this type of vehicle requires a regular and frequent recharging of their batteries.
- these vehicles are connected to a charging station through a charging cable provided at each end of a charging socket.
- a charging socket generally comprises a connector and a handle.
- the connector can be of the "female" type and then comprise several female contacts (for example seven: three for the phases, one for the earth, one for the neutral and two for the control signals).
- a female contact may comprise a base, to which a cable is connected, and a socket intended to receive a male contact.
- the socket has a plurality of resilient tongues spaced apart by the male contact when inserted into the socket and maintaining a contact force on the male contact as long as the female connector is coupled to a counter connector.
- the loads can be done with intensities up to 120 A.
- the charging points for electric vehicles therefore require a high contact force between the contacts to avoid, or at least limit, the heating.
- the efforts of coupling or uncoupling of the load receptacle connectors on a counter connector should not be too important, in order to be made with ergonomics suitable for all types of users, but also to limit the abrasion wear occurring during numerous coupling / uncoupling cycles (14,000 cycles for example).
- An object of the invention is to provide a connector for a motor vehicle, in particular for a load socket in which the uncoupling force is better controlled.
- a connector is made comprising at least one female contact.
- This female contact comprises a socket extending between a front end and a rear end, along a central longitudinal axis, parallel to which a male contact can be introduced into the socket.
- the socket has an opening towards its front end, for the introduction of the male contact.
- the socket also has at least one flexible tongue.
- This flexible tongue has a free end situated at the opening, this free end of the tongue being able to move apart (under the action of the male contact when it is inserted into the socket) or to move closer ( when the male contact is removed from the socket) of the central longitudinal axis.
- the connector also comprises a housing in which is housed the female contact. This housing has a passage in front of the opening of the socket. The male contact is introduced into the socket through this passage.
- the contact moves in the housing between a rear position and a front position, parallel to the longitudinal axis.
- the tongue is closer to the central longitudinal axis, than when the contact is in the forward position.
- the contact is blocked by the housing when the contact is in the rear position.
- the tongue is spaced from the central longitudinal axis (and therefore the male contact) by the housing when the female contact is in the forward position.
- the connector may include one or other of the following features, considered alone or in combination with one or more others:
- At least one of the tongue and the housing comprises a chamfer for lifting and spreading the tongue away from the central longitudinal axis, when the female contact is moved to its front position;
- a chamfer is placed both on the housing and on the tongue;
- a chamfer is placed on the housing at the passage and a chamfer is formed on the free end of the tongue; [0013] the length of the displacement of the female contact between its rear and front positions is limited by two fixed stops in the housing;
- the sleeve is housed in a cavity having a wall portion perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis, defining the passage and protecting the free end of the tongue, the displacement of the female contact from its rear position to its forward position being blocked by a stop before the free end of the tongue comes into contact with a wall portion perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis, delimiting the passage;
- the tongue tends to return elastically towards the central longitudinal axis and cooperates with the housing to bring the female contact to its rear position when no male contact is inserted into the socket.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically in perspective a charging cable for electric vehicle, provided with at least one connector according to the invention
- - Figure 2 shows schematically in longitudinal section an example of female contact for a connector of Figure 1, with a male contact in the coupled position, the female contact being in the rear position;
- Figure 3 shows schematically in section a detail of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 corresponds to a representation similar to that of Figure 3, the female contact being in the forward position.
- FIG. 1 In Figure 1 are shown two charging sockets 1, 2 for an electric motor vehicle, each mounted at one end of a charging cable 3. Each of these two loads 1, 2 comprise a connector 10, 20 with a handle 11, 21 and power contacts.
- the connector 10 comprises a housing 12 of dielectric material with drums 14 for receiving female contacts 40 (in the figures only a female contact 40 and a shaft 14 are shown).
- one of these female contacts 40 of power is shown in its barrel 14.
- a one-piece portion of the contact 40 is machined by removing material from a bar of electrically conductive material (a copper alloy for example).
- This one-piece portion comprises a cable attachment zone 42, a base 43 and a sleeve 44 and extends along a central longitudinal axis L.
- This central longitudinal axis L is parallel to the insertion direction of a male contact 50 in the socket 44.
- the sleeve 44 extends along the central longitudinal axis between a front end 45 and a rear end 46.
- the sleeve 44 has an opening 47 at its front end 45 for the introduction of the male contact between
- the bushing 44 comprises, for example, four tongues 48 that are flexible regularly and symmetrically distributed around the central longitudinal axis L.
- Each tongue 48 is curved about the central longitudinal axis L.
- Each tongue 48 extends longitudinally between a end connected to the base 43 and a free end 49.
- Each tongue 48 is substantially straight and of constant thickness over its entire length (apart from a portion near its free end 49 - see below).
- the tabs 48 are substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis L. They are then slightly bent to be inclined relative thereto, with a portion closer to the central longitudinal axis L to the free end 49 at the base 43 (that is, the cross section of the sleeve 44 is smaller near the free end 49 than near the base 43).
- an internal space is obtained at the bushing 44 growing closer to the base 43.
- Two ribs, here in the form of disks, 52, 54 extend radially from the base 43. These two disks 52, 54 are spaced apart from one another along the central longitudinal axis L, to form a groove in which can be housed an O-ring (not shown).
- the base 43 is housed in a cavity 16 of the housing 12.
- This cavity 16 whose inner diameter is wider than that of a drum 14, has a flange 18 forming a stop capable of interacting with the disc 52 to block the displacement D of the female contact 40 forwards.
- Locking means 56 interact with the other disk 54 to lock the female contact in the housing 10 and block the displacement D 'of the contact female 40 to the rear.
- These locking means 56 may be formed for example of a rear gate blocking the base 43 from the rear.
- a space is provided between the locking means 56 and the flange 18, whose length parallel to the central longitudinal axis is greater than the distance between the discs 52, 54 (the thickness of the discs 52, 54, measured parallel to the central longitudinal axis L being included in the latter distance).
- the female contact 40 can move between a forward position (with a disc 52 abutting on the flange 18) and a rear position (with a disc 54 abutting on the locking means 56), for example over a distance G 1.5 mm.
- each tongue 48 has a chamfer 58, or bevel, internal, facing the opening 47 of the sleeve 44, and an outer bead 59 (see Figure 3).
- the outer bead 59 compensates for the reduction in the thickness of the end of the tongue 48 due to the chamfer 58.
- the outer bead 59 also limits the radial displacement of the tongue 48 and therefore the risk of any plastic deformation thereof.
- the shaft 14 is in the form of a cylindrical cavity of revolution whose front end is partially closed by a wall 15 substantially perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis L.
- a passage 17 is formed in this wall 15 to the passage of the male contact 50.
- This passage 17 comprises a funnel-shaped guide surface 19 to facilitate the insertion and guiding of the male contact 50 in the barrel 14 and in the sleeve 44 whose opening 47 is located behind the passage 17.
- the passage 17 also comprises a guide portion 21, extending over a few millimeters, whose inner surface is cylindrical of revolution.
- This guide portion 21 has a chamfer 23 directed towards the inside of the barrel 14 and towards the inner cylindrical wall of this denier.
- the overlap of the chamfers 23, 58 of the housing 12 and tabs 48 is greater than when the female contact 40 is in the rear position.
- the surfaces of the chamfers 23, 58 of the housing 12 and the tongues 48 are find in contact.
- the chamfers 23, 58 interact sufficiently so that the free end 49 of the tabs 48 is spaced from the male contact 50.
- the tongues 48 are then detached from the male contact 50 and the male contact 50 can be disengaged from the sleeve 44 with less effort ( Figure 4).
