Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention concerne un connecteur comprenant un système de reprise de continuité.The present invention relates to a connector comprising a continuity recovery system.

Art antérieurPrior art

Il est connu d'utiliser des connecteurs pour câbles de type Voix, Données, Images (V.D.I.). Il s'agit par exemple d'un connecteur comprenant une prise RJ45 et une sortie raccordée à une extrémité dégainée d'un câble.It is known to use connectors for cables of the Voice, Data, Images (V.D.I.) type. It is for example a connector comprising an RJ45 socket and an output connected to an unsheathed end of a cable.

La sortie pour le raccordement à l'extrémité dégainée du câble comprend notamment un dispositif passe-fils amovible pour le raccordement des fils du câble à des bornes dédiées du connecteur. Les bornes du connecteur sont du type auto-dénudant pour permettre un raccordement électrique lors de l'assemblage du dispositif passe-fils au reste du connecteur.The outlet for connection to the stripped end of the cable notably comprises a removable grommet device for connecting the wires of the cable to dedicated terminals of the connector. The terminals of the connector are of the self-stripping type to allow electrical connection during assembly of the wire-passing device to the rest of the connector.

Ce type de connecteur permet ainsi le raccordement et l'acheminement de flux multimédias dans des logements ou bureaux.This type of connector thus allows the connection and routing of multimedia streams in homes or offices.

Les câbles utilisés sont fréquemment équipés d'un fil de continuité électrique qu'il faut raccorder à une masse et/ou la « terre » et/ou à un blindage externe du connecteur.The cables used are frequently equipped with an electrical continuity wire which must be connected to a mass and/or the "earth" and/or to an external shielding of the connector.

Le raccordement du fil de continuité électrique au blindage externe peut s'avérer délicat. Des pièces de raccordements spécifiques sont nécessaires ce qui peut compliquer le montage du câble dans la sortie.Connecting the electrical continuity wire to the outer shield can be tricky. Specific connection parts are required which can complicate the assembly of the cable in the outlet.

Il existe donc un besoin d'amélioration de l'ergonomie du branchement du câble à la sortie et en particulier du branchement du fil de continuité électrique.There is therefore a need to improve the ergonomics of the connection of the cable to the outlet and in particular of the connection of the electrical continuity wire.

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

Exposé de l'inventionDisclosure of Invention

A cet effet, la présente invention concerne un connecteur comprenant une prise et une sortie configurée pour être raccordée à un câble, la sortie comprenant des bornes conductrices reliées électriquement à la prise et un dispositif passe-fils démontable.To this end, the present invention relates to a connector comprising a socket and an output configured to be connected to a cable, the output comprising conductive terminals electrically connected to the socket and a removable grommet device.

Le dispositif passe-fils est pourvu d'une ouverture configurée pour recevoir une extrémité dégainée dudit câble selon une direction d'insertion, le dispositif passe-fils étant également pourvu d'une cage guide-fils avec des encoches de passage pour fils, la cage guide-fils étant configurée pour connecter des fils de transmission du câble aux bornes conductrices.The wire-passing device is provided with an opening configured to receive an unsheathed end of said cable in an insertion direction, the wire-passing device also being provided with a wire-guide cage with passage notches for wires, the wire guide cage being configured to connect transmission wires of the cable to the conductive terminals.

Le connecteur comprend en outre un système de reprise de continuité configuré pour raccorder un fil de continuité électrique du câble à un blindage externe du connecteur, le système de reprise de continuité étant rapporté sur le dispositif passe-fils, le système de reprise de continuité présentant une fente configurée pour recevoir le fil de continuité électrique, le fil de continuité électrique s'étendant transversalement à la direction d'insertion dans la fente.The connector further comprises a continuity recovery system configured to connect an electrical continuity wire of the cable to an external shielding of the connector, the continuity recovery system being attached to the wire-passing device, the continuity recovery system having a slot configured to receive the electrical continuity wire, the electrical continuity wire extending transversely to the direction of insertion into the slot.

Le dispositif passe-fils et le système de reprise de continuité présentent une extrémité d'insertion pour l'extrémité dégainée du câble et une extrémité de raccordement opposée à l'extrémité d'insertion selon la direction d'insertion du câble dans l'ouverture, les encoches de passage et la fente étant ménagées dans l'extrémité de raccordement.The wire-passing device and the continuity recovery system have an insertion end for the stripped end of the cable and a connection end opposite the insertion end according to the direction of insertion of the cable into the opening , the passage notches and the slot being provided in the connection end.

Le système de reprise de continuité présente une fente additionnelle ménagée dans l'extrémité d'insertion, la fente additionnelle étant configurée pour recevoir le fil de continuité électrique, le fil de continuité électrique s'étendant transversalement à la direction d'insertion dans la fente additionnelle.The continuity recovery system has an additional slot formed in the insertion end, the additional slot being configured to receive the electrical continuity wire, the electrical continuity wire extending transversely to the direction of insertion into the slot additional.

Le dispositif passe-fils démonté permet une installation préalable de l'extrémité dégainée du câble dans l'ouverture ainsi que la mise en place des fils de transmission dans les encoches de passage.The disassembled wire guide device allows the unsheathed end of the cable to be installed beforehand in the opening as well as the installation of the transmission wires in the passage notches.

Ainsi, lorsque le dispositif passe-fils est monté avec le reste du connecteur, les fils de transmission sont en contact électrique avec les bornes conductrices correspondantes. Les bornes conductrices sont de type auto-dénudant.Thus, when the wire-passing device is mounted with the rest of the connector, the transmission wires are in electrical contact with the corresponding conductive terminals. Conductive terminals are self-stripping type.

En outre, le système de reprise de continuité étant rapporté sur le dispositif passe-fils, le fil de continuité électrique peut également être raccordé au dispositif passe-fils démonté.In addition, the continuity recovery system being attached to the pass-through device, the electrical continuity wire can also be connected to the dismantled pass-through device.

Le fil de continuité électrique du câble est raccordé à une masse et/ou à la « terre » du câble.The cable's electrical continuity wire is connected to a mass and/or the cable's “earth”.

Cette disposition permet donc un montage préalable des fils de transmission ainsi que du fil de continuité électrique sur le dispositif passe-fils avant l'assemblage avec le reste du connecteur.This arrangement therefore allows prior assembly of the transmission wires as well as the electrical continuity wire on the wire-pass device before assembly with the rest of the connector.

Le branchement d'un câble dégainé à la sortie est donc aisé, rapide à mettre en œuvre et peut être réalisé dans un espace limité.Connecting a stripped cable to the output is therefore easy, quick to implement and can be carried out in a limited space.

L'agencement particulier avec deux extrémités distinctes facilite le montage du câble dégainé au dispositif passe-fils. En effet, le câble est inséré par l'extrémité d'insertion et les fils de transmission et le fil de continuité électrique sont mis en place à l'extrémité de raccordement.The particular arrangement with two distinct ends facilitates the assembly of the unsheathed cable to the wire-passing device. Indeed, the cable is inserted by the insertion end and the transmission wires and the electric continuity wire are put in place at the connection end.

Les encoches de passage sont configurées pour que les fils de transmission s'étendent transversalement à la direction d'insertion dans l'ouverture. La fente est configurée pour que le fil de continuité électrique s'étende transversalement à la direction d'insertion dans l'ouverture.The pass-through notches are configured so that the transmission wires extend transverse to the direction of insertion into the opening. The slot is configured so that the electrical drain wire extends transverse to the direction of insertion into the opening.

Selon un aspect de l'invention, les encoches de passage et la fente sont configurées pour une insertion des fils de transmission et respectivement du fil de continuité électrique selon une direction opposée à la direction d'insertion dans l'ouverture.According to one aspect of the invention, the passage notches and the slot are configured for insertion of the transmission wires and respectively of the electrical continuity wire in a direction opposite to the direction of insertion into the opening.

La fente présente une section d'entrée du fil et une section finale du fil alignées selon la direction opposée. La section d'entrée présente une dimension transversale à la direction opposée réduite par rapport à une dimension transversale de la section finale. Le fil de continuité électrique est ainsi maintenu en position dans la section d'entrée après insertion, la section finale ayant pour rôle faciliter l'insertion en conférant plus de souplesse.The slot has a wire entry section and a wire end section aligned in the opposite direction. The entry section has a transverse dimension to the opposite direction reduced compared to a transverse dimension of the final section.
