Definitions

  • a connector has a number of tangs for threaded receipt onto a mating connector.
  • a shell disposed about the tangs is movable from a first position holding the tangs in threaded engagement with the mating connector to a second position releasing the tangs and permitting them to spring outwardly by inherent resilience to disengage the mating connector.
  • This invention relates in general to umbilical or staging connectors capable of being rapidly disengaged, and in particular to connectors of the above character in which the connector parts are held in engagement by threaded fingers or tangs located near the periphery of one portion of the connector and engaging cooperating tang threads on a different portion of the connector, the disengagement of the connector being accomplished by pressure operated devices such as explosive, pneumatic, hydraulic devices or manual control.
  • the tangs are in the form of latches or cams which require the plug and receptacle portions of the connector to be manually pushed into complete engagement before any locking occurs. If the plug and receptacle are spring loaded in order to store energy for subsequent separation or contain a large number of contacts to be engaged, the manual force required to be exerted on engagement is relatively large, resulting in an unsatisfactory connector in many instances.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a tang locking quick-disconnect connector in which the manual force necessary for engagement of the connector portions is minimized.
  • Another disadvantage of certain prior art connectors of the above type is that the tang locking element, such as a sleeve, must be in an unlocking position until the connector parts are completely engaged and then the locking element must be moved into locking .position.
  • Some connectors obviate this disadvantage by providing spring biased elements which yield when the connector is being engaged.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a connector in which engagement is possible with the tang locking element in a locked position and in which additional parts to provide this advantage are not necessary.
  • FIGS. 1 to 14 comprising FIGS. 1 to 14 in which:
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 show various views, partly in elevation and partly in section of the pressure operated connector of FIG. 1 in different stages of engagement;
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a lanyard operated internally threaded tang umbilical connector
  • FIGS. 6 to 8 show various views, partly in elevation and partly in section, of the lanyard operated connector of FIG. 5 in different stages of engagement;
  • FIG. 11 shows a part elevation and part sectional view of a combined pressure and lanyard operated umbilical connector
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 show various views, partly in elevation and partly in section of the umbilical connector of FIG. 11 in different stages of disconnect as a result of pressure operation;
  • FIG. 14 shows the connector of FIG. 11 in disconnect position as a result of lanyard operation.
  • the plug portion 1 also includes a pair of pressure operated devices or squibs 3 which are connected to the cable 9 by wires not shown or to pneumatic or hydraulic lines not shown.
  • the plug 1 includes an inner shell 15, an end bell or back shell 16 and a main shell '17.
  • the main shell 17 is permanently secured to a tang collar 18 which is in turn rotatably secured to inner shell by a flange 20 thereon engaging a retainer ring 119 for preventing axial movement of the collar 18 in the forward direction.
  • Axial movement of the collar 18 in the rearward direction is precluded by a retainer ring 21 that bears against the flange formed by end bell 1'6 threadedly engaging the inner shell 15.
  • a sealing O-ring 22 is provided between the tang collar 18 and main shell '17.
  • Clearance space is provided between the forward end of the main shell 17 and the finger or tang portion 23 of the tang collar 18.
  • a tang retaining sleeve 24 is retained against rotational movement within this clearance but is permitted axial movement between a rear stop on the main shell 17 and a forward stop or flange 25 on tang collar 18.
  • the distance of axial movement of sleeve 24 is slightly in excess of the depth of the clearance space between the main shell and panel 11 of receptacle 2.
  • a friction O-ring 26 in encircled by the rear portion of the tang retaining sleeve 24 and nests in an annular groove 27 on collar 18. This friction ring 26 prevents inadvertent axial movement of the tang retaining sleeve 24.
  • Another sealing O-ring 28 is positioned between the main shell 17 and the retaining sleeve.
  • the forward portion of tang retaining sleeve 24 includes an internal and inwardly extending section 29 which is bevelled at both ends to permit sliding displacement over the end of tangs 23.
  • the wires attached to the pin contacts are sealed in the plug 1 by a grommet which is deformed into sealing contact with the wires by a ferrule 31 placed thereover and secured in position by the end bell 16 threadedly engaging the inner shell 15.
  • the squib, pneumatic, or hydraulic fitting 3 is threadedly secured to main shell 17.
  • a chamber 32 and cooperating channel 33 interconnect the rear face of tang retaining sleeve 17 with the squib explosive head or pressure source.
  • the plug 1 is mated to the receptacle 2 so that the polarizing keys 13 enter their respective keyways 12.
  • tang retaining sleeve 24 is in its retracted position with the end portion 29 in engagement with the tangs 23.
  • the plug body or outer shell 17 is rotated clockwise, causing the tang collar 18 and tangs 23 to rotate therewith and engage the coupling threads on the receptacle shell 2.
  • the threaded tangs engage the coupling threads and the pin contacts 8 are drawn into complete engagement with the sockets 5.
  • the plug rotation is stopped when the forward end of the inner shell 15 abuts and deforms the peripheral seal 14.
  • the connector as shown in FIG. 2 is now fully engaged and ready for disconnect operation.
  • the plug 1 and receptacle 2 may be disengaged by rotating the main shell of plug 1 in a counterclockwise direction.
  • the squib 3 or pressure source When disconnect is desired by explosive, pneumatic or hydraulic means, the squib 3 or pressure source is fired activated and as seen in FIG. 3, the gas or liquid therefrom enters chamber 32 and passes through channel 33 and exerts a force against the rear face of the tang retaining sleeve 24.
  • the presure of the gas or liquid is sufficient to overcome the friction of O-ring 26 causing the sleeve 24 to move forward into abutting relationship with the receptacle mounting panel '11.
  • the tang retaining head 29 moves out of engagement with tangs 23 which, by built-in tension, spring radially outward and disengage from the coupling threads on the forward end of the receptacle shell 2.
  • the position of the connector parts at this stage is shown most clearly in FIG. 3.
  • the disconnected portions of the connector are reusable when the exploded squib 3 is replaced by a new unfired squib or the pneumatic or hydraulic lines are bled off and the tang retaining sleeve is returned to its locking position by finger pressure.
  • the inner shell 15, insulator 7, grommet 30, ferrule 31 and end shell 16 are assembled as described hereinbefore.
  • An intermediate key 45 is rotatably positioned over the threaded end of the end shell 16 and is rigidly secured to the outer shell 41 by rivet means 49, for example.
  • a clearance space is provided between the forward end of the inner shell 15 and the outer shell 41.
  • a tang collar 40 is positioned in this space by one end of the intermediate key 45 and a collar retaining ring 19 encircling the inner shell 15.
  • the outer sleeve 41 is arranged for axial movement with respect to the tang collar 40 but is arranged to rotate the tang collar 40 when outer shell 41 is rotated.
  • the tang collar 40 comprises a plurality of tangs or fingers 48 having internal coupling threads on the end thereof. As described in connection with FIGS. 1 to 4, these threaded tangs engage the coupling threads on the receptacle 2 to hold the plug 1 in engagement therewith.
  • a camming rib 47 is provided intermediate the fixed portion of tang collar 40 and the tang end 48.
  • a similar rib 46 is provided on the inner periphery of the outer shell 41 and is disposed so as to engage rib 47 when the outer shell 41 is in the most forward position as shown in FIG. 6. When outer shell 41 and tangs 48 are in engagement,
  • the plug 1 is mated to the receptacle 2 so that the polarizing keys 13 enter their respective keyways 12.
  • outer shell 41 is in its most forward position with the foremost end thereof in engagement with tangs 48.
  • the outer shell 41 is rotated clockwise, causing the tang collar 40 and tangs 48 to rotate therewith and engage the coupling threads on the receptacle shell 2.
  • the threaded tangs 48 engage the coupling threads on receptacle shell 2 and the pin contacts 8 are drawn into complete engagement with the sockets 5.
  • the receptacle rotation is stopped when the forward end of inner shell 15 abuts and deforms peripheral seal 14.
  • the connector as shown in FIG. 6, is now fully engaged and ready for disconnect.
  • the plug 1 and receptacle 2 may be disengaged by rotating the main shell of plug 1 in a counterclockwise direction.
  • FIGS. 11 through 14 the connector there disclosed is a modified pressure mechanism of the connector of FIG. 1 in combination with the lanyard mechanism of FIG. 5.
  • the reference characters applied to the elements of FIGS. 5 through 8 are applied to similar elements in FIGS. 11 through 14.
  • the outer shell 41 has an outwardly extending flange 52 at the forward end thereof which serves as a stop for the ejection piston 53 which is axially movable within a clearance space provided between the outer shell 41 and the pressure device housing 50'.
  • the piston 53 is normally retained in its retracted position by a friction O- ring 54 recessed in a groove 55 in the pressure device housing 50.
  • a compression seal 56 is provided on the interior of the piston 53.
  • the plug 1 and receptacle 2 are mated, the tangs 48 are threadedly engaged with the coupling threads on receptacle 2, the outer shell 41 is in its forward position and piston 53 is in its retracted position.
  • the connector parts are thus in engagement and operational.
  • the plug and receptacle may be disengaged by manual rotation of the outer shell 41 or pressure housing 50 which is rigidly secured thereto.
  • the pressure source 57 When disconnect is desired by pressure means, the pressure source 57 is actuated and, as seen in FIG. 12, the gas or liquid therefrom enters chamber 58 and passes through channel 59 to exert a forward force on the face of piston 53.
  • the pressure of the gas or liquid is sufficient to overcome the retaining force of the friction O-ring 54, causing the piston 53 to move forward into abutting relationship with the receptacle mounting panel 11. Since the piston 53 is not in direct association with tangs 48, as is the case in FIGS. 1 through 4, the tangs are not disengaged from the receptacle coupling threads.
  • the position of the connector parts at this stage is shown in FIG. 12.
  • the disconnected portions of the connector are reusable when the exploded squib is replaced or the pneumatic and hydraulic lines are bled off and the outer shell and piston are moved to their foremost position.
  • a quick-disconnect umbilical connector for electrical conductors comprising:
  • interengageable plug and receptacle means each including an electrical insulator supporting a plurality of electrical contact members arranged for interconnection with the contact members of the oppos ing plug or receptacle means when the plug and receptacle are brought into interengagement to complate an electrical circuit through the connector
  • said means for effecting release of the tangs includes a first sleeve coaxially disposed about the collar and movable in a direction away from the receptacle to release the tangs from engagement with the receptacle shell, a second sleeve coaxially disposed about the first sleeve and movable axially with respect thereto into abutment With the receptacle means, and a main shell secured to the first sleeve and therewith and with said second sleeve defining a pressurizable chamber one wall of which is movable with respect to the main shell and formed by the second sleeve whereby pressure within the chamber after abutment of the second sleeve against the receptacle means efiects movement of the first sleeve to unlock the tangs to release the receptacle shell to effect a disconnection of the plug means from the receptacle
