Description

TELECOMMUNICATIONS LINK AND CONNECTOR / HIGH DENSITY DATA AND HIGH PERFORMANCE WITH TAKE AND CONTACT DISPLACEMENT SET The invention relates to a set of connector and treatment of telecommunications and data of high density and high performance with socket and set of displacement of contacts and a method for its realization. Commercial space is often provided as open floor areas. These are often divided into work areas (cubicles). The occupant of the commercial space typically determines the most efficient use of the floor space for his own needs and selects how the floor space has to be divided into smaller work areas by the use of portable wall panels and similar structures. The so-called "systems" furniture is used to divide large floor spaces into smaller work areas (cubicles). The systems furniture arrangements typically utilize vertical vertical partition walls of space that are connected together in series, through straight or angled connections for two panels, or through suitable connections for three or four panels to define a large plurality of individual work areas. Such panels typically have a lower height than floor to ceiling and cooperate with other furniture components to define an equipped work area. Each work area must be equipped with adequate electrical power and communication wiring. Several systems and components have been developed, including modular electrical systems that cooperate with and that are easily mounted on the panels. This allows the panels to be reconfigured and allows the supply of current to the work areas. Systems have been proposed to avoid the use of a large number of conventional four-pair communication cables, introduced through floor ducts or roof free spaces to the various work areas. Examples of such attempts of the prior art include the systems and devices described in U.S. No. 5,272,277; 5,160,276 and 4,928,303. Numerous systems have been proposed relating to power lines and system furniture. Many of these systems include features that solve particular problems related to the transmission and distribution of current with furniture systems. The U.S. patent No. 4,781,609 describes a multi-circuit electrical system that is used with wall panels. The electrical system is a system of seven conductors that employ three active conductors and three neutrals to define three separate electric circuits, each with a separate neutral. A portable socket unit (a receptacle unit) may be plugged into the current block for selective engagement with any one of the three circuits. Although this system provides great advantages with respect to the current and to select one of the various circuits in place, after the wall panels have been put in place, using the provision of jack, the system includes a large number of components and is directed in particular to the problem of current distribution.

The U.S. patent No. 5,236,370 describes another electrical system for use with interior partition walls. The system is prefabricated and includes elongated fittings mounted within channels that extend inside the partition members of space. Adjacent fittings are electrically linked by flexible electrical bridges that create plug-type connections with current blocks. This system provides significant advantages in terms of ease of use. However, the system again includes numerous components, which adds significant cost.

In addition, the system again includes features that are aimed at the distribution of current and problems associated with current distribution. The invention therefore has as its basis the technical problem of providing a high density and high performance transmission and connector system with a high contact density for telecommunications and data applications., in which the connector has a good physical and electrical connection, so that transmission parts with a consistently high signal quality can be connected, even in the case of radio frequency applications, and in which the system allows a simple taking of signals in the connector, as well as providing a manufacturing process for the assembly. The solution to the technical problem is provided by the features of claims 1 and 17. Further advantageous developments result from the dependent claims. It is an object of the invention to provide a high performance, high density transmission and connector system for telecommunications and data applications, in which the connector provides a good physical and electrical connection in such a way that transmission parts can be linked at the same time. that high signal quality is maintained, even for high-frequency applications and whose system makes it possible to simply take signals from the connector. According to the invention, there is provided a telecommunications / data link and connector set which includes a transmission cable comprising a plurality of transmission lines, a first interface end set and a second interface end set. The first interface end set comprises a first contact alignment body including a line connection end and an interface end. A first plurality of end contact elements is provided, wherein each of the contact elements is positioned and aligned by the first contact alignment body and extends from adjacent the line connection end to the interface end. Each of the first lateral contact elements can move between a contact position and a non-contact position. Each of the first side contact elements includes a contact area and a line connection area for an electrical connection with a line. A first end shield housing is provided, in which the first contact alignment body is disposed in the first end shield housing in a locked position. The second interface end set has a second contact alignment body that includes a line connection end and an interface end. A second plurality of end contact elements is provided, wherein each of the contact elements is positioned and aligned by the second contact alignment body and extends from adjacent the line connection end to the interface end. Each of the second side contact elements can be moved between a contact position and a non-contact position, wherein each of the second side contact elements includes a contact area and a line connection area for a connection electric with a line. A second end shield housing is provided, wherein the second contact alignment body is disposed in the second end shield housing in a locked position. Each screen between the first extreme screen and the second extreme screen is substantially identical and dockable. These end shields are also engageable to a first end shield and to a second end shield of a substantially identical telecommunications / data link and link assembly. The contact elements carried by each contact alignment body are in a contact position when an associated end shield is in a coupled position. A socket is provided which is insertable between contact elements to take signals driven by the contact elements. The socket includes a tap transmission line and connected contact parts. The contact contact parts make contact with one of a first plurality of lateral contacts and a second plurality of lateral contact elements. Contact displacement means are provided for moving contacts between the contact position and the non-contact position allowing insertion of the socket between the first plurality of side contact elements and the second plurality of side contact elements. The contact moving means includes a first contact opening device connected to the first plurality of side contact elements. The socket means engage with the first contact opening device for moving contacts between the contact position and the non-contact position allowing insertion of the socket between the first plurality of side contacts and the second plurality of side contacts. The contact moving means also preferably includes a second contact opening device connected to the second plurality of side contacts and an end of the picking means. The first contact opening device and the second contact opening device serve to move contacts between the contact position and the non-contact position. The invention also includes a method for forming a telecommunications / data link and connector assembly that includes providing a contact alignment body with grooves for contacts and spaces for receiving contact ends on the wire side. The contacts are placed in the slots with the wire contact ends extending to a wire and receiving spaces of contact ends on the wire side. A contact displacement member connected to ends of the contacts at the interface end is provided. A wire guide with a plurality of wire channels is also provided. The thread guide has a cable end with a small width and a contact alignment body end with a greater width. The wire guide channels each have a path for threads with a substantially identical length, which extends from the cable side to the contact alignment body side. A cable with terminal ends of wires is used. These terminal ends of wires are placed in the guide channels of the wire guide and a contact portion of the terminal ends extends outwardly from the guide channels. The contact parts are electrically connected to corresponding contacts at the ends of the wire side of the contacts. The cable, the wire guide and the contact movement assembly are joined by applying a molded coating housing. The coating housing is applied by placing a portion of the wire, the wire guide and a portion of the contact movement assembly in a mold and injecting material into the mold to form the molded coating housing. The elements connected together with the molded coating housing form an individual contact displacement assembly. The wire contact ends and the wire side ends of the contacts are preferably electrically connected by ultrasonic bonding (or ultrasonic welding without filler material). The contact alignment body preferably includes receiving assemblies for molded housing for receiving molded housing material therefrom. The molded coating housing preferably defines support rails. A plurality of individual contact displacement assemblies are provided. These are inserted into a screen element that forms a plurality of spaces. The screen element also includes a plurality of alignment parts corresponding to each of the spaces. Two substantially identical screen elements can be coupled by connecting the alignment parts. The alignment portions (alignment appendages) are preferably of the male and female type in an alternating arrangement, in which two screens of substantially identical shape are engaged by fitting the alignment portions while the screens are facing each other and one is rotated 180 ° with respect to the other. The screens are preferably made of a plastic with embedded metal elements. The metallic elements can be, for example, stainless steel. This provides an important shielding function (shielding a set of coupled contacts with respect to adjacent coupled contacts). This advantageously affects the behavior of the connector interface ends when they are coupled to a substantially identical interface end. After inserting a contact alignment body of each individual contact movement assembly in each screen space, the contact alignment bodies are locked in place.

When the screens are coupled, the contacts are fitted to transmit electrical signals. An indicator label element is provided for a first side of the screen and another indicator label element is provided for another side of the screen. Each indicator label element includes receiving slots for receiving a plurality of the support rails to cooperate with the individual contact displacement assemblies and the shield to form a connector block. The invention is explained in more detail later with reference to a preferred embodiment by way of example.

With reference to the drawings in particular, the invention comprises a multi-circuit contact displacement assembly (CDA) generally designated 10. The assembly includes a first interface end set 6 and a second identical interface end set 8 (substantially identical, apart from minor variations due to tolerances). Although the interface ends 6 and 8 are identical, they have male-type and female-type portions (alignment lugs) with which they are adapted to be placed in a coupled contact state. Each interface end 6, 8 is intended to be used for connection by coupling with another multi-circuit CDA assembly to provide a link of transmission lines at the contact interfaces and to provide a tap zone for making line taps. The multi-circuit contact displacement assembly 10 is particularly useful when it is available in modular components of office furniture such as modular walls used to make office cubicles. A plurality of contact circuit assemblies may be provided in parallel (such as three) for eighteen individual sets of different contact displacements in parallel providing a multiplicity of lines of two pairs. Figure 1 shows a CDA assembly 10 of six circuits, in which each interface end 6, 8 has a shield housing 12 that supports a plurality of contact alignment bodies 14. As discussed further below, the alignment bodies of contacts 14 can be fixed with jump movement in the screen housing 12 where they are retained to provide a connection side in a contact interface. The contact alignment bodies 14 form part of individual contact alignment and displacement assemblies (CDA) 18. In the position shown in Figure 1, with the individual CDA assemblies 18 supported by the display 12, the indicator label element 16 can be connected to the individual CDA assemblies 18. Additionally, a circuit indicating element 20 can be connected to the individual CDA assemblies 18 by an insertion side without a socket of each interface. On one side of the interface socket, the individual CDA sets 18 are exposed. Figure 2A shows a top perspective view from the left of a housing, in particular a screen housing 12. The screen housing 12 is preferably a unitary molded structure. The screen housing 12 is preferably made of a plastic with stainless steel fibers or embedded stainless steel elements to provide an electrical screening function. The screen 12 has an upper surface 26, a tap access side 28, a non-access side 30 as well as a floor 32 (see Figure 1). The floor 32 includes a tongue 34 which provides a fitting function for the connection of two interface ends. The tab 34 includes a tab bevel 36. To provide a fit, each screen includes a male-type wrap part 38 and a female-type wrap part 40 (these are also referred to as alignment tabs). These two enclosing parts 38, 40 are coupled for the connection of two interface ends. The tab bezel 36 provides for ease of insertion of the tongue 34 between an upper surface of the male-type wrapping part 38 and an inner surface of the upper part 26. On the underside or side of the floor 32, the tongue 34 includes a lace bevel 42 with a rear locking edge. This allows a locking of one interface side by engagement of the lace bevel 42 with the trailing edge of the upper part 26 as shown in the figure in Figure 4. The ramp 44 helps block the assemblies by providing a friction surface. The stop part 46 provides a stop function when the front edge of the stop part 46 contacts a front edge of the screen top 26. The interface sides of the individual CDA sets 18 are connected to each other by means of of a cable 22 of individual CDA set. Figures 3A, 3B and 3C provide enlarged scale views of the display 12. As seen in Figure 3A, on the access side 28 the intake entrance part 50 delimits an upper edge of one side of a intake slot. 56 that will be defined by coupled interface ends. On the tap side 28, the male-type wrapping part 38 includes a female-type recess 52 and a male-type part 54. The male-type part 54 is of decreasing section to allow easy connection of the two contact parts coupling. As can be seen from Figure 3B, just behind each wrapping part (both the male-type wrapping part 38 and the female-type wrapping part 40), the screen housing 12 has locking grooves 57. These locking grooves 57 are used to fix the individual CDA assemblies 18 to the screen housing 12. The display 12 is shown in a position oriented for coupling to another display housing 12- in Figure 4. Figure 6 shows an individual CDA assembly 18 which includes one end of individual interface element and associated cable portions 22. Each interface end of the CDA assembly 18 includes a molded coating housing 58. This molded coating housing 58 has the function of joining the various components of each interface end. of the CDA assembly 18. The molded coating housing 58 includes support rails 60. These are discussed further below. Each set 18 also includes a contact alignment body 14 with contacts 62 and a contact opening device 66. Each interface end of the assembly 18 also includes a wire guide 64 (see FIGS. 7A, 7B and FIG. 8) . Figure 7A shows a cross-sectional view of an interface end of the CDA assembly 18, taken just above the contact surface. It can be seen that the molded coating housing 58 extends into an area of the contact alignment body 14 for connecting the molded coating housing 58 and the alignment body 14. Upon joining the part 40, the molded coating housing 58 also houses and surrounds the wire guide 64. The molded coating housing 58 also extends into the channels 88 that are provided for terminal ends of twisted pairs 110. This is discussed further below. Figure 7B shows a cable 22 with terminal ends of twisted pairs 110 extending inwardly from the wire guide 64. The terminal ends of twisted pairs 110 also extend into contact alignment bodies 14 where they are connected and set contact with the contact 62. The structure shown in Figure 7B is the individual CDA assembly 18 just prior to the application of the molded cover housing 58. Figure 8 shows the wire guide 64 with a variety of channels 63. These channels 63 they are significant in that they provide twisted pair channels that have a substantially identical length from one end to an opposite end. In this way, strands of twisted pairs 110, as shown in Figure 10, can be used. which have terminating ends that have substantially the same length for each twisted pair 110. This provides a significant advantage in terms of manufacture. The yarn guide 64 includes alignment protrusions 92 that facilitate alignment of the yarn guide 64 and the contact alignment body 14 during manufacture. The wire guide 64 also includes protruding portions 65, which help to retain the twisted pair within the channels 63 of the wire guide 64. - Figure 9B shows the contact alignment body 14 with associated contact elements 62 that are still connected to a conductor box 73 (FIG. the conductor box 73 is subsequently removed) and the contact moving device (or contact moving device) 66. As can be seen in Figure 9A, the contact opening device 66 has a take-up cam follower 68 with locking protrusions (or supports) 70 for locking in the contact position. The cam follower 68 includes the bevel ramp 72 that allows insertion of the socket 138 and the movement of the contact opening device 66 to disengage the contact portion 76 when a socket 138 is inserted between mated interface contacts. Each contact element 62 includes an elastic portion with bending 74 and barbs 78. As can be seen in Figures 9A and 9D, each contact alignment body 14 has a front end with a receiving area 79 and a side receiving receiving area 79. ' Similary. These have at their most frontal edge a lace bevel 80. As can be seen from figures 9A and 9D, each bevel 80 is located on an upper and lower side of each alignment body 14. On the upper side of each body of contact alignment 14 there is provided a stop edge element 82. On the rear side of the contact alignment body 14 there are channels for wires 88 as well as alignment slots 90 (see Figure 9A). Figure 9D shows the lower side of the contact alignment body 1. This includes a receiving space 96 for molded housing. Looking at Figures 9D and 9A, it can be seen that the molded cover housing 58 extends to the rear side of the stop edge 82, extends inwardly of reception assemblies 86 for molded housing and into the receiving space 96 for housing molded, thereby unifying the contact alignment body 14, the wire guide 64 and the contacts and terminal ends of electrically connected twisted pairs. This mounting technique has the additional advantage that the molded coating housing 58 (see Figs. 6, 7A and 7B), surrounds the cable sheath 112, surrounds the terminal ends of twisted pairs 110 and extends into the panels. terminal ends of the wire guide 64. The molded coating housing 58 also surrounds a rear portion of the contact alignment body 14 and extends inwardly of the reception assemblies 86 for molded housing, surrounds the wire contact interface , it fits with the contact beards 78 and also fills the receiving space 96 for molded housing. This results in, among other things, a joining of the cable sheath 112 and the contact alignment body 14 so that there is no strain on the terminating ends of individual twisted pairs 110 and there is no tightness in the contact interface between the terminating ends of twisted pairs 110 and the contact elements 62. An alternative embodiment of the invention can also be provided, in that wire guide 64 is not provided. In this case, the pair of terminating ends 110 are welded without material or insert electrically in another way and are added to contact elements 62 and the molded coating housing 58 is applied. The molded coating housing 58 provides insulation of the twisted pairs 110. The alignment slots 90 are not required. Figure 9C shows a cross-sectional view of the contact alignment body 14. In this view, the receiving area 79 'is shown together with the The bevelled lace 80. In addition, an alignment zone 87 is shown including walls and a base support for placing a contact element 62. Below and behind the stop edge 82 there is a space 89 communicating with the conjunctor receiving 86 for molded housing and also communicates with the wire channels 88. This space 89 receives the wire side end of the contact element 62. Although the space 89 communicates with the opening 86 and the channels for wires 88, the zones 89 on the upper side of the space 89 are delimited by the plastic walls (or other suitable material) of the contact alignment body 14 in such a way that when the wire ends of the contact elements 62 are inserted into the space 89, the beards 78 fit with the contact alignment body housing 14. The contact element 62 can not be effectively or easily removed from the contact alignment body 14, once they are inserted into the space 89, since the whiskers 78 they will be inserted into the plastic contact alignment body housing 14 above the space 89, after pulling the contact element 62 in a withdrawal direction. Specifically, the whiskers 78 are formed at an angle so that the insertion of the. end of yarn in space 89 is quite smooth but any retraction of contact element 62 is effectively prevented since beards 78 mesh with the material of alignment body 14 delimiting portions of space 89. Figures 10a and 10b show aspects of the cable 22 for an individual CDA assembly 18. The cable 22 includes the cable sheath 112 and the twisted pair termination ends 110. Figure 10b shows the relative position of the various twisted pairs 110 and sheath 112. Figure 11 shows the inner side of a color indicator label element 16. The element 16 includes a rail receiving portion 116 for receiving rail ends 60 from an interface end of the CDA assembly 10. Each rail 60 belongs to an individual CDA assembly 18. The rail receiving part 116 includes a narrow ridge such that the member 16 slides along the various rails 60 of the various assemblies 18. The protuberances of oqueo 122 cooperate with the locking groove 124 formed in the molded coating housing 58 of each interface end of each assembly 18 (see Fig. 7A). Another locking groove 136 is provided in each rail 60 of each molded housing 58. The blocking protrusion 122 allows the color indicator label element 16 to slide along the rails 60 of the assemblies 18 and be locked into position . Figure 12 shows a circuit indicator 20, which is connected to a plurality of sets 18 at an interface end, on an opposite side to an access side. The rails 60 on the access side are used to secure the pick-up element 138 as described below. The circuit indicator 20 includes a receiving groove 126 for rail with a base. The slot also defines a gap of small dimension which allows the slot to be fixed by sliding the circuit indicating element 20 onto the rail 60 or applying it with jumping movement on it. A protrusion 128 extends outwardly from the base of the slot and provides a blocking element for inward extension of the locking slot 136 of the molded housing 58. Figures 13A and 13B show views of an intake assembly 138. use different tap sets with each interface attached. Each socket 138 is used to make line taps on a contact interface of individual CDA assemblies 18 of coupled interface ends of two CDA assemblies 10. Each socket 138 includes a body 140 with grip area. A pick-up line 142 extends into the body, in which the various threads of the pick-up line 142 are connected to tracks arranged in or on a pick-slot insertion element 150. The tracks extend towards contacts 148. A plurality of contacts 148 are disposed on a contact side 152 of the intake slot insertion element 150. The intake body 140 is provided with a lane engaging portion 144. This defines a lane receiving slot 146 for the rail 60 With this structure, the take-off assembly 138 can be engaged with the coupled interface ends and fixed to the exposed rail 60 on the intake side of an interface body such as the interface body 8 (see Figure 1). As can be seen in Figure 14, when the interface ends are coupled, the contacts are in an electrical contact position with the contact portions 76 in physical contact to provide an electrical connection. As can be seen by comparing Figure 13A to Figure 13B, each insertion slot insertion element 150 includes a contact side 152 and an opposite side 154. When the insertion slot insertion element 150 is inserted into the insertion slot 56 (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 3A). ), the socket is positioned for connecting the lane fitting part 144 with the exposed rails 60 of the assemblies 18, the contacts 148 will connect with contacts 62 on the upstream side of the transmission line (see FIG. 5). ). The downstream side of the transmission line is interrupted since the contact 62 on the inner side of the interface (on the interface element located upstream) is kept out of contact with the socket due to the cam surfaces of the follower jack 68 (protrusions 70, and the surface of the opposite side of jack 154). This state is shown in Figure 15. A more detailed discussion of a similar contact displacement arrangement is discussed in EP-97 10 8131.0, which is incorporated herein by reference. The protuberances or supports 70 in the contact opening device 66 are such that the contacts 62 are maintained in a non-contact position while the insertion element 150 is inserted between the contacts. When the socket 138 is properly positioned, the supports or protuberances 70 extend into openings 153. It is possible to have only openings 153 on the contact side 152 and not have these on the opposite side 154. This will maintain a set of contacts 62. in a position of absence of contact. However, as no contacts 148 are provided on the side 154, holes 153 can also be provided on the side 154. This allows the contacts to move to a contact position even though no electrical contact is made and the downstream line is disconnected. The dimension of the insert slot insert member 150 and the tap slots 56 defined by nested portions of end shields of coupled interface elements is preferably selected so that very few things can enter between the coupled interface ends to damage the contact displacement arrangement. The shape of the various parts 50, 54 and 52 of the screen housing 12 facilitates the definition of a small slot without any other access space both on the non-access side 30 and on the access side 28. Figure 13C shows a view of the main intake member 160 before coating or molding it on the intake body 140. As can be seen, the connection points 162 are arranged for welding with filler material, welding without filler material or otherwise connecting cable lines of intake 142. The intake member 160 is preferably made in the form of a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board 160 has tracks or other suitable connecting lines extending from the contact points 162 to the contacts 148. The device is assembled by arranging a cable at 22 as shown in Figure 10a and placing terminal ends of pairs braided 110 in the channels of the wire guide 64. As indicated, the length of each terminal end 110 is the same. The wire guide is placed in contact with the contact alignment body 14 carrying contacts 62 and the contact moving device 66. The electrical contact between the terminal ends 110 and the contacts 62 is preferably provided by ultrasonic welding without filler material. Other known connections can be provided, such as welding with filler material for the displacement contacts or other connections for electrical contact. Ultrasonic welding without filler material is preferred since it provides better features including the absence of significant additional electrical resistance. A structure as shown in Figure 5B results from the previous steps. Subsequently, this structure is molded into coating to provide the molded coating housing 58. When this is disposed at both ends of the cable, this results in an individual contact displacement assembly 18 as shown in Figure 4. The individual CDA assembly 18 It has two interface ends. One end of the CDA assembly 18 is inserted into a shield housing 12. The other end is inserted into another shield housing 12. The socket bevel 113, at the base of each contact alignment body 14, facilitates the insertion of a interface end of the CDA assembly 18. The engagement protrusion 114 has a trailing edge which provides a locking function upon engagement with the locking slot 57 of the screen 12 (see Figures 3B and 3C). On the non-access side, by means of rails 60, a circuit indicator 20 can be connected by means of rails 60 and the connection between the slot 124 and the protrusion 134. In a similar way, two color indicator labels can slide on rails 60. on each side, whereby the blocking protrusion 122 of each element 16 fits into a respective locking slot 124 disposed in rails 60. When these steps are taken with respect to each interface element 8 and 6, an assembly 10 is provided. as shown in Figure 1. The interface ends of the CDA set 10 are identical and each interface element of the set 10 can be coupled to an identical interface element of another identical set 10. The interface end coupling takes place with the insertion of the tongue 34 between the lower surface of the upper part 26 of the screen 12 and the upper surface of the male-type surrounding part 38.
