  • relatively large section for example at least 1.8 mm
  • a wiring chamber similar to a junction box, which is provided in the middle part of the cables and in which an additional length of cable is housed.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a device for connecting conductors making it possible to accommodate a length of cable necessary for wiring.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore, according to a first aspect, a device for connecting conductors, in particular electrically conductive cables or optical fibers, comprising a hollow body internally delimiting a passage for the conductors and a member for fixing the hollow body on a connector of the connecting device.
  • This connector further comprises a removable spacer capable of being positioned in the extension of the body, between the body and the connector, the spacer internally delimiting a chamber opening out on each side of the spacer by mutually opposite faces and intended to cooperate. with the hollow body and the connector, the spacer being able to open so as to allow access to said chamber.
  • the spacer constitutes an element of the device for connecting the conductors which surrounds a length of cable which can advantageously be handled when the spacer is removed.
  • the spacer comprises a set of at least two shells, in particular in the form of a truncated cylinder, said shells being adapted to be assembled to form a cylindrical ring.
  • Each shell may include a lug engaging in a hole made in another shell and a hole receiving the lug of said other shell.
  • At least one of the mutually opposite faces of the spacer is serrated so as to cooperate with a set of teeth formed in the body and / or in the connector.
  • the member for fixing the body to the connector comprises a nut, the teeth preventing the spacer from rotating relative to the hollow body and / or relative to the connector, when the nut is tightened.
  • the fixing member comprises a nut
  • the latter is advantageously mounted in a sliding manner relative to the hollow body and comprises a thread able to cooperate with a complementary thread of the connector.
  • This nut preferably comprises a shoulder capable of resting on a stop of the hollow body.
  • the hollow body has an elbow shape.
  • At least one of the fixing member, the hollow body and the spacer is made of a metallic material or of a metallic alloy, such as stainless steel.
  • At least one of the fixing member, the hollow body and the spacer is made of a material comprising a polymer which may in particular be a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) loaded with particles of at least one metal or coated with said metal. metal.
  • PEEK polyetheretherketone
  • connection assembly for conductors, in particular electrical cables or optical fibers, characterized in that it comprises a connection device as defined above and a suitable connector. to cooperate with said connecting device.
  • This device is intended to ensure the connection of conductors, such as electrically conductive cables or a bundle of optical fibers.
  • the device 1 is used to ensure the connection of a bundle of cables C, comprising here three cables C1, C2 and C3, with a bundle of corresponding cables to be paired (not shown).
  • the cables C1, C2 and C3 are provided, at their end, with contact tips E, here male, for example crimped, intended to cooperate with female contact tips provided at the respective ends of the cables to be paired.
  • connection device 1 comprises a hollow body 3; a member 5 for fixing to a connector 4 into which are plugged the crimped male contact ends and the female ends of the conductors to be matched, and a spacer 6 which is interposed between the device 1 of the invention and the connector 4 .
  • the body 3 is hollow so as to define an internal passage P for the cable harness C and comprises a first proximal portion 3-1, typically of tubular shape, in particular secured to the protective sheath of the cable harness C and a distal portion 3-2, which may be of flared shape, through which the cables C1, C2 and C3 open to the outside of the device 1 of the invention.
  • the shoulder may be of continuous shape, as here of substantially annular shape, or else it may consist of a point element or of separate elements distributed circumferentially.
  • the distal portion 3-2 comprises an annular shoulder 7 against which the fixing member 5 abuts.
  • the end section of the distal portion 3-2 may include an annular toothing 8 which, as will be described in detail later, cooperates with a corresponding toothing, in one of the mutually opposite faces and intended to cooperate with the hollow body 3 and / or the connector 4 of the spacer 6.
  • the proximal portion 3-1 is substantially bent. Indeed, the proximal end 3-1 is shaped as a function of the orientation of the cable bundle desired at the outlet of the device of the invention.
  • the angle formed by the elbow may for example be between 45 ° and 90 °. It is not beyond the scope of the invention when this tubular end is substantially straight.
  • the connector 4 also comprises a base 9 which comprises a set of passages in which the end caps E crimped on the ends of the cables C1, C2, C3 engage and in which engage the female contact caps provided at the ends of the cables to match.
  • the member 5 for fixing the body to the connector 4 is here produced in the form of a nut comprising a cylindrical body 10 comprising a distal end 11 provided with an internal thread which cooperates with a complementary thread 12 formed on a proximal end 13 of the connector, and a proximal shoulder 14 which, on tightening, rests on said shoulder 7.
  • the nut has a polygonal middle head T or any other type of shape suitable for being screwed by means of an appropriate key.
  • the spacer 6 has a generally cylindrical shape.
  • It comprises a set of shells, in particular in the form of truncated cylinders, intended to be assembled to form a cylindrical ring.
  • the spacer 6 comprises two semi-cylindrical shells 15 and 16.
  • the longitudinal edges of said shells may be provided with a pin 17 and a hole 18 intended respectively to engage in a hole and to receive a pin from the other shell.
  • the shells can cooperate by means of a slide.
  • the spacer in the form of a single cylinder made from hinged semi-cylindrical portions capable of opening to allow lateral clearance of the spacer.
  • the face of the spacer 6 turned towards the hollow body 3 is provided with toothing 19 cooperating with the toothing 8 of said body.
  • the opposite face of the spacer is also provided with a toothing which cooperates, by complementarity of shape, with a corresponding toothing made at the proximal end of the connector 4.
  • the nut 5 is assembled around the hollow body 3.
  • the spacer makes it possible to define a space in which is housed a sufficient length of cable to facilitate their connection.
  • the spacer 6 thus internally delimits a chamber 20 open on each side of the spacer and opening to release the spacer laterally, this chamber further constituting a volume in which an additional length of cable can, if necessary, be wound up.
  • This chamber can also be used to receive components or elements provided at the ends of the cables C1, C2 and C3 to be connected, such as extensions or self-welder type components, which cannot be housed in the protective sheath or which must be positioned as close as possible to the connector to limit disturbances and the risk of damage.
  • connection device is then located in the position visible on the figure 6 .
  • the invention which has just been described, which uses a spacer and a nut which can be moved in translation to release the spacer, makes it possible to release, after opening and removing the spacer, a length of cable facilitating the connection. of the wire harness to the connector.
  • a nut moving with another movement such as rotation, can be used.
  • the length of the spacer can be between about 18 mm and 35 mm, but can reach a length of the order of 60 mm.
  • the hollow body, the spacer and the nut can be made of metal, or a metal alloy, such as stainless steel.
  • the nut, the hollow body and the shells of the spacer can also be made of a composite material, with a polymer such as polyetheretherketone or “PEEK” charged with metal particles or coated with a metallized layer.
  • a polymer such as polyetheretherketone or “PEEK” charged with metal particles or coated with a metallized layer.
  • the use of a metallic material or of a metallic alloy or the use of a composite material loaded with metallic particles or coated with metal is advantageous insofar as it makes it possible to produce a connection device ensuring a shielding against electromagnetic interference.
