Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of electrical connectors.
- the invention aims in particular to improve the mutual locking between two housings of complementary connectors, in particular of multi-contact connectors, when they are in the connected configuration.
- connection assembly is present when the environment in which the connection assembly is present is subject to significant environmental constraints, as may be the case in aircraft and in particular when the assembly is mounted on a panel of on-board equipment. in an aircraft.
- a screw-nut locking system is known, which is found for example in the connection assemblies marketed by the Applicant under the name EPX ® B2: the base carries a nut fixed to the case in its part central between the two contact inserts, while the socket has a central hole through which a screw can be screwed into the nut to obtain the desired locking.
- a quarter-turn fastening system is also known, which is found for example in the connection assemblies marketed by the Applicant under the name EPX ® A, EPX ® B1: the base bears on either side of the central housing a male cylinder provided with two lugs projecting outwards, and the socket carries a female cylinder with lights facing each of the male cylinders.
- a socket 2 with its casing 20 as it exists under the name EPX ® B1: fixing is ensured by means of a screwdriver, by quarter-turn screwing according to the arrow R, of the interface cavity 21 of each female cylinder 22 which allows the sliding of the lugs in the corresponding slots 23 up to one of their ends to obtain the desired locking.
- the generally successive actuation of these two quarter-turn indentations 21 runs the risk of causing misalignment. An operator can even lock the second imperfectly without realizing it.
- the implementation time is also greater.
- connection assembly comprising a locking cover between two multi-contact connectors, one of which is fixed to a support, the movement of the cover comprising locking teeth being carried out manually by sliding on the housing.
- the patent EP2503651B1 also discloses a locking cover to be moved manually on the case of one of the two multi-contact connectors, the other being already mounted on an electronic equipment panel.
- connection assembly 1 with plug 2 and base 3 which implements such a locking cover 4.
- This connection assembly 1 is mounted on a panel P which is for example that of a housing of electronic equipment, in particular equipment on board an aircraft or in a switch panel. More precisely, the base 3 is mounted in an opening of the panel P to which the housing 30 of the base 3 is fixed there by means of screws 5.
- the substantially U-shaped locking cover 4 is slidably mounted on the housing 20 of the socket 2 between its front connection face 24 and its rear face 25, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis X, that is to say along longitudinal faces 26, 27.
- Each of the wings of the U internally comprises slots/grooves 40 with suitable shapes.
- Each of the longitudinal faces 31 of the housing 30 of the base 3 is provided with two lugs 32.
- the Applicant has proposed in the patent EP2654137B1 , to provide the base with removable fastening means with hooks for fastening to the panel, at least one of which is connected to a tab serving as a support for an operator's finger.
- the base 3 of the multi-contact connector comprises two attachment parts 6 each comprising at least one hook 60 for fixing the case, each mounted sliding on the case 30, perpendicular to its axis X, between at least one retracted release position and at least one deployed securing position.
- the two attachment parts 6 move apart when they each slide from their retracted position ( picture 3 ) to their deployed position ( figure 4 ).
- Each attachment part 6 comprises a tab 61 each serving as a support for an operator's finger ( picture 3 ) and which extends parallel to the axis X and on the side of the rear face of the box 30 and of the rear face A of the panel P.
- Two springs are each mounted free in a housing of the box 30 while being on the one hand in abutment against the latter and on the other hand in abutment against an attachment part 6.
- Each spring preferably in the form of a helical compression spring, exerts on the casing 30 a thrust force perpendicular to the axis X of the casing, at least in a deployed position and in the absence of support on a tongue. 61 corresponding.
- the connector base 3 may comprise, on each of its lateral ends, a protrusion 33 serving as a plane bearing surface against the rear face A of the panel P.
- a guide pin 34 configured to cooperate with an opening of a panel P, can protrude from one of the support surfaces 33.
- a male polarizer 35 configured to cooperate with a female polarizer of a plug / socket complementary to the base 1, can protrude from the other surface of support 31.
- the guide pin 34 and the male polarizer 35 do not necessarily serve as a means of fixing the base 1 but one and/or the other of the pin 34 or the polarizer 35 can be used to carry out a complementary fixing of the screw type. /nut.
- An operator first positions the box 30 opposite the opening O of the panel P and simultaneously presses with a finger on each of the two tabs 61, thus bringing the two attachment parts 6 closer to one another. other, as indicated by the two arrows pointing towards each other in picture 3 .
- the operator introduces the box 30 partly into the opening O of the panel P while maintaining the pressure on the two tabs 61.
- the guide pin 34 and the polarizer 35 serve as a guide, each cooperating with a side opening to the opening O of the panel.
- the fixing hooks 60 then come to bear against the edge of the opening O in a deployed fixing position, this position being determined according to the thickness of the panel P and the dimensions of the opening O.
- connection between the plug/socket 2 and the base 3, which is therefore imperfectly attached to the panel P, is also imperfect. In other words, the coupling between these two complementary connectors 2, 3 is not perfectly achieved.
- Incorrect mating between complementary connectors 2, 3 can also occur without the socket being incorrectly installed on the panel. Incorrect mating can also result from an insufficient rimpedement between the complementary connectors or from a connector 2 presented in a non-parallel manner facing connector 3 and/or insufficiently inserted into connector 3.
- the wings of the U of the cover 4 tend to move away from each other in their free end portion, that is to say that far from the bottom of the U .
- This spacing can go so far as to bring out at least one of the lugs 32 for locking the light/groove 40 of the cover 4 in which it was slidably mounted.
- one or even the two wings of the U of the cover 4 can also come out of their guide along the longitudinal faces 26, 27 of the housing 20 of the plug/socket 2.
- the wings 42, 43 of the U of the cover 4 are provided with guide tabs/ribs 44 provided to slide along guide rails 36 provided for this purpose respectively in the housing 30 of base 3, tabs 44 on the side of the free end of the wings of the U of cover 4 come out of slideways 36.
- the invention aims to meet all or part of this need.
- the means for securing the coupling and the locking consisting of a means of mechanical interference between at least a part of the deformed cover and an element of the connector housing.
- the locking cap has, in the undeformed state, in section in a plane perpendicular to the axis X, a substantially U-shape, with a back and two parallel wings connected to the back and each adapted to slide on one of the longitudinal faces of the housing from the locking position.
- the case has at least one relief whose lateral edge forms the means of mechanical interference with the free end of one of the two wings and/or of a tongue and/or rib arranged at said free end.
- the relief preferably comprises a guide groove in which the guide tab arranged at the free end is adapted to be inserted into the correct locking position.
- At least one of the two wings comprises one or more guide tabs adapted to be inserted and slide in a guide slideway provided on the housing and/or in a guide slideway provided in the housing of the connector complementary.
- the box comprises a pin
- the locking cover comprises a through hole in which the pin of the box is housed by projecting from the cover in its locked position, forming a sensitive locking indicator.
- the connector comprises at least one visual indicator arranged so as to be visible to an operator in any position, from the unlocking position of the cover to its locking position in which it is masked.
- the visual indicator is preferably an area of apparent color made on the box.
- the connector can constitute a multi-contact connector, in which the case houses at least one insert comprising cells which extend along the longitudinal axis (X) and which each house a contact.
- the connector comprises a mechanism for transforming rotational movement into sliding of the locking cover, the mechanism comprising an interface part with a tool, the part being mounted free to rotate in a housing of the housing and adapted to be rotated by the tool, according to an angular stroke causing the locking cover to slide from its unlocked position to its locked position and vice versa.
- the interface piece may comprise an interface imprint with the tool, preferably a hollow hexagonal imprint.
- the invention essentially consists of a means which makes it possible to secure, preferably by mechanical interference, the fact that the locking cover effectively locks the housing of the connector to that of a complementary connector.
- the method further comprises, once the locking position according to step iii/ has been reached, the following step: iv/ check locking by means of the sensitive and/or visible indicator.
- the multi-contact connector 2 of the male type in particular a plug, is intended to be connected to a complementary connector 3 of the female type, in particular a base.
- Connectors 2 and 3 are intended to house contacts which convey optical, radiofrequency, electrical or power signals.
- the contacts can be of the same type.
- signals or power of different types can be conveyed by the connectors 2, 3 and contacts of different size and type are then simultaneously implemented.
- These contacts can be single or multiple contacts such as coaxial or triaxial contacts, quadrax contacts, RJ45 or any type of high speed contacts.
- These contacts can also be optical contacts with lensed contacts of the “expanded beam” type or “physical contact” contacts of the ARINC 801 or EN 4531 type or even optoelectronic contacts.
- the multi-contact connector 2 extends along a longitudinal axis X and comprises a casing 20 which in the example described is made from a single piece of plastic material.
- the front face 24 and the rear face 25 of the housing 20 are parallel and extend perpendicular to the axis X.
- An insert 5 with a plurality of cells is housed in the housing 20.
- Each cell is intended to house part of a contact, not shown, another part of which, housed in a cell 200 of the housing 20, projects beyond the face front 24 of connection of the box 20.
- a locking cap 4 is slidably mounted on the box 20, transversely to the longitudinal axis X of coupling of the plug with the base, that is to say along an axis Y perpendicular to the axis X, to mutually lock connectors 2 and 3 when they are in the connected configuration, that is to say coupled to each other.
- the locking hood 4 can also assist or finalize the mating of connector 2 on complementary connector 3, then mutually lock connectors 2 and 3 once mated.
- the locking cover 4 of the connector 2 comprises, as a visual locking indicator, an area of apparent color Z, that is to say visible by an operator, from the unlocking position of the cover 4 until its locked position in which zone Z is hidden by box 20, as detailed below.
- the locking cap 4 has, in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (X), a substantially U-shape.
- the cover 4 thus comprises a back 41 coming opposite a side face of the box 20 and two parallel wings 42, 43 coming respectively opposite a part of the upper longitudinal face 26 of the box 2 and a part of the lower longitudinal face 27 of the casing 20.
- each wing 42, 43 of the U of the cover 4 is intended to slide along a longitudinal face 26, 27 of the casing 20.
- Each of the wings 42, 43 of the U internally comprises slots/grooves 40 with shapes adapted to each cooperate with a lug 32 provided on one of the longitudinal faces 31 of the housing 30 of the base 3, as explained below.
- a wing 42, 43 may comprise on each of its longitudinal edges one or more guide ribs/tabs 44 extending continuously or not along an axis Y perpendicular to the axis X.
- These guide tabs 44 are adapted to slide along guide rails 36 provided for this purpose respectively in the housing 30 of the base 3.
- the back 41 of the cover 4 is pierced with a through hole 45 to allow a pin 29 to pass projecting from the side face of the case 20, so that when the cover 4 is in its locking position, the pin 29 projects at the -beyond the back 41 of the cover 4 thus forming a finalized locking sensory indicator, detectable blind by an operator.
- At least one of the longitudinal faces 26, 27 of the casing 20 comprises, on its lateral edge opposite to that facing the back 41 of the cover 4, a relief 7, 8 projecting with respect to said face 26, 27 .
- Each relief 7, 8 has a general L-shaped section, the interior of which forms a locking groove 70, 80 and a lateral edge 71, 81 forming a mechanical interference means as explained below.
- At least one wing 42, 43 of the cover 4 comprises at its longitudinal end a guide tab 46, 47.
- the guide tab 46 is in the form of an L-shaped lug offset from the wing 42 towards the inside of the cowl, while the guide tab 47 is formed by the very end of the wing 43, possibly curved inwards.
- a rib 48 is arranged projecting from and set back from the longitudinal end 47.
- each guide tab 46, 47 is housed in a groove 70, 80, at the end of the sliding stroke of the cover 4, in the locking position.
- the end 47 of the wing 43 is housed in the groove 80.
- This deformation of one and/or the other of the wings 42, 43 may be caused beforehand by poor coupling of the connectors 2, 3 between them, itself generated by poor initial fixing of the connector forming the base 3 to a fixing panel, as detailed below.
- the panel is not shown as such, but that it corresponds to a panel like that of the prior art represented P with an opening O in figure 5 and that he is for example integrated into a casing of electronic equipment, for example of equipment on board an aircraft or in a switch panel.
- Step 1/ the operator approaches the opening of the panel, the base 3 with its box 30 in which is housed at least one insert 9 with contact housing cells.
- Step 2/ the operator then inserts the base 3 into the opening of the panel, centers it using the guide pins 34 and the polarizer 35, then attaches it to the panel. To do this, the operator first positions the box 30 opposite the opening of the panel and simultaneously presses with a finger on each of the two tabs 61, thus bringing the two attachment parts 6 closer together. the other.
- the operator introduces the box 30 partly into the opening of the panel while maintaining the pressure on the two tongues 61.
- the guide pin 34 and the polarizer 35 serve as guidance/centering, each cooperating with a side opening at the opening of the panel.
- the fixing hooks 60 then bear against the edge of the opening in a deployed fixing position, this position being determined according to the thickness of the panel P and the dimensions of the opening.
- the fixing hooks 60 somehow hook the panel.
- Step 3/ the operator then grasps the plug-type connector 2 with its locking cap 4 in its unlocked position.
- Step 4/ the operator then approaches the plug 2, with its contacts inserted and fixed in the insert 5 housed in the box 20 facing the base 3 so as to couple them mutually, at least partially, by their face before 24, 37 to make the connection ( figure 9A ).
- Step e/ once the mutual coupling, at least partially, has been achieved, the operator can then proceed to their mutual locking by sliding the locking cap 4 on the box 3 from its unlocked position ( figures 9B to 9D ) to its locked position ( figures 9E And 9F ).
- the operator comes to exert, either with his finger, a lateral thrust force on the back 41 of the cover 4 from its extreme remote position, unlocking, or with a tool, a rotation, transformed by a mechanism in translation of the cover 4 from its extreme remote unlocking position. It may be a cam mechanism as described in the patent application EP3879639A1 .
- the blocking of the cover 4 in its extreme close position, which is the locking position, is obtained by the wedging of each lug 32 of the housing 30 inside a slot 40 of the cover 4.
- At least one of the two wings of the cover 4 that referenced 42 in the example shown, is deflected and therefore is moved away from the longitudinal face 26 of the box 20 to the point that on the one hand at least one of the guide tabs 44 has come out of the slide 36 and on the other hand the pin 32 has come out of the opening 40 of the cover 4.
- This deflection causes the guide tab 46 to abut B against the mechanical interference means formed by the edge 71 provided for this purpose.
- pin 29 cannot project beyond cover 4 and therefore the sensory indicator that it forms cannot be detected by the operator.
- FIG 11 illustrates a variant in which for each of the two wings 42, 43 the guide tab 47 is constituted by the very end of the wing 42, 43, possibly curved inwards.
- a rib 48 is arranged projecting and set back from the longitudinal end 47 for each wing 42, 43.
- THE figures 12 and 12A illustrate an incorrect locking configuration between connectors 2, 3 with cover 4 depending on the variant of the figure 11 , as a result of incorrect mating between them.
- the wing 42 of the cover 4 is deflected and therefore is moved away from the longitudinal face 26 of the box 20 to the point that on the one hand at least one of the guide tabs 44 has come out of the slide 36 and on the other hand the pin 32 has come out of the opening 40 of the cover 4.
- This deflection causes the guide tongue 47 and/or the rib 48 to abut against the mechanical interference means formed by the edge 71 provided for this purpose. If necessary, the guide tab 47 can come out outside the edge 71.
- pin 29 cannot project beyond cover 4 and color zone Z is visible to the operator.
- the sensitive and visual indicators therefore also indicate to the operator that the locking and therefore the coupling between the two connectors 2, 3 has not been correctly carried out.
- a single abutment 70/71 for detecting poor coupling can be provided as a mechanical interference means on one face of the housing 20. It can also be envisaged on the opposite face or on the two opposite faces.
