Definitions

  • Disengageable electric connectors for simultaneously interconnecting or disconnecting a plurality of conductors or a plurality of electric circuits are known.
  • German Patent No. 409,427 discloses a disengageable electric connector in which electric contacts are distributed around the circumference of the plug and also around the socket or receptacle.
  • the plug when not inserted into the receptacle, is protected both from contact and fouling by a protective cap which is screwed to the plug pin.
  • the thread provided for that purpose on the plug shaft or pin is, at the same time, and on insertion of the plug into the receptacle, utilized in a known manner for securing the electrical connector by engagement with a corresponding thread provided on the receptacle.
  • German Auslegeschrift 1,071,800 discloses another disengageable electric connector wherein a plug, with individual plug pins, is covered by a so-called Contact safety plate when the plug is not inserted into receptacle. This covering is effected in such a way that an unauthorized or accidental touching of electric contacts is not possible. Furthermore, the contact safety plate is so designed that it automatically releases or uncovers the plug pins upon insertion of the plug into the receptacle.
  • German Gebrauchsmuster 1,812,283 discloses an electrical connector wherein the receptacle, when the plug is not inserted therein, is secured or closed by a plate automatically closing the opening of the receptacle, and so designed that it automatically releases or uncovers the electric contacts of the receptacle upon insertion of a plug into the receptacle.
  • Such covering or protecting means provided on the known electrical connectors, for the electric contacts either of the plug or of the receptacle, serves primarily 3,491,326 Patented Jan. 20, 1970 ICC for the purpose of preventing, for safety reasons, an unintentional or unauthorized touching of the electric contacts. At the same time, these devices attain a certain protection of the electric contacts against fouling. However, for special uses and especially for military purposes, electrical connectors are needed which will withstand extreme conditions ⁇ when interengaged as well as when disengaged.
  • This invention relates to disengageable electrical connectors for interconnecting a plurality of electrical circuits and, more particularly, to an improved disengageable electrical connector characterized by smooth working under extremely difficult conditions, extreme simplicity of the mechanical and electrical structure, and protection of the contacts against moisture and atmosphere both in the engaged condition and in the disengaged condition.
  • the disengageable electrical connector of the invention is of the type including a plug and a receptacle and in which the contacts to be engaged and disengaged are distributed circumferentially, with the contacts of the plug and the contacts of the receptacle being covered when the electrical connector is disengaged.
  • the contacts of the two parts of the disengageable electrical connector are enclosed, in both the engaged position of the electrical connector and the disengaged position thereof, in watertight manner.
  • At least one of the contact covering means extends beyond the electric contacts to an extent such that, when the two parts of the electrical connector are engaged, the covering and sealing functions are performed by the other part of the electrical connector before the individual contacts of the two parts of the electrical connector are uncovered for interengagement.
  • a cylinder is axially displaceable within the receptacle and against the bias of a Spring, and this cylinder cooperates with a sealing ring disposed in the inner peripheral surface of the receptacle adjacent the plug-receiving opening of the receptacle.
  • a cylindrical sleeve surrounds the exterior surface of the plug and is movable axially of the plug against a spring bias. At its outer end facing the receptacle, this sleeve carries an annular lip seal, and the exterior circumferential surface of the cylindrical sleeve cooperates with a sealing ring mounted in the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical case iixedly connected with the plug.
  • This design assures that both the receptacle and the plug, when disconnected, are sealed off so as to be 1iquidtight and dustproof, by means of the covering means biased by springs into their effective position and which cooperate with sealing rings of the two parts of the connector.
  • the sealing ring positioned in a groove in the inner surface of the receptacle cooperates, upon engagement of the plug in the receptacle, with the plug so that the latter, in the connected or engaged condition of the connector, is also sealed olf in a liquid-tight and dustproof manner.
  • the sealing cylinder of the receptacle and the cylindrical sleeve of the plug areibiased immediately into their respective protecting positions by the associated springs, and hermetically seal the respective electrical contacts from the atmosphere. An particles of dirt or drop of liquid are simultaneously wiped off the parts during this movement of the covers to the sealing position.
  • the springs biasing the covering means after disengagement of the two parts of the electrical connector, into their effective positions, have large magnitude elongations in order to bias the covering means quickly and safely into positions in which they cover and protect the respective electric contacts.
  • the distances through which the respective covering means must be moved are correspondingly long, since the actual sealing off of the electrical connector parts is effected at the greatest possible distance from the circumferentially arranged electric contacts.
  • the covering means are provided with recesses accommodating a considerable portion of the length of each associated spring.
  • the part carrying the electric contacts ofthe plug is designed as an exchangeable member having a threaded interconnection with the plug.
  • the plug ofthe electrical connector is more subject to stresses than is the receptacle of the electrical connector. This is the case, for example, with an electrical connector used for remote controlled missiles and where the plug is iixedly positioned in operative association with the electronic means of a control and position-finding device, with respective receptacles fixedly positioned on launching tubes which are individual for each missile to be fired. With each new missile to be red, there is thus a new receptacle which is joined with the same plug of the control device, so that the electric contacts of the plug, after a large number of missiles have been red, show a certain degree of wear.
  • the receptacle which is telescoped over the plug when the two parts of the electrical connector are interengaged, is so designed that, in addition to forming an electrical connection it also forms a mechanical connection absorbing considerable forces.
  • Such a utilization of the connector as a mechanical supporting arrangement is also especially advantageous in connection with the control and positionfinding device. This is due to the fact that the connector then joining the launching tube containing the missile with the control device can be utilized simultaneously as the sole or as an additional mechanical interconnection between the launching tube and the control device.
  • the parts covering the electrical contacts when the electrical connection is disengaged are so constructed that they short circuit the respective electrical contacts of each part of the electrical connector.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an improved disengageable electrical connector in which the electrical contacts of the two parts are sealed from the atmosphere in both the engaged and disengaged conditions of the electrical connector.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a disengageable electrical connector in which Contact sealing means are provided on the two parts thereof, with the sealing functions of one part being assumed by the sealing means of the other part when the two parts are interengaged and before their respective contacts are uncovered for interconnection.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide such a disengageable electrical connector including respective covering means associated with a plug and with a receptacle, forming the two parts of the electrical connector, cooperate with sealing rings to provide an hermetic seal.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a disengageable electrical connector in which, responsive to disengagement of the two parts thereof, dirt and moisture are wiped olf the parts automatically.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide such a disengageable electrical connector which is maintained watertight under extremely wet conditions and in both the engaged and disengaged conditions.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide such an electrical connector in which the respective sealing means are under the bias of springs having large elongations, with the large elongations being accommodated by recesses in the sealing means in such a manner that the overall size of the electrical connector is not increased.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide such a disengageable electrical connector in which the contact carrying parts of the plug are interchangeable for replacement after a certain degree of wear.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a disengageable electrical connector which, in the engaged condition, serves as a mechanical support or connection for the parts.
  • a further object of the invention is to yprovide such a disengageable electrical connector in which, when the two parts thereof are disengaged, the respective contacts of the two parts are short circuited.
  • FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view of an electrical connector embodying the invention, with the parts being shown disengaged;
  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. l, but showing the two parts of the electrical connector interengaged.
  • the disengageable electrical connector embodying the invention illustrated in the disengaged position in FIG. 1, includes a plug or plug element 1 having a shank or stem 101 rigidly or xedly connected with a larger member 3, which has not been further illustrated in the drawings.
  • a cylindrical casing 102 is fixedly connected with shank 101 and, adjacent the open end of casing 102, the inner surface thereof is formed to receive a sealing ring or gasket 103.
  • the core of plug 1 also comprises a cylindrical casing 104 into which extend insulated electrical conductors 105, each of which is soldered with a respective plug socket 107 seated in an insulating or dielectric block 106 having its inner end engaging an internal shoulder on core part 104.
  • Block 106 is secured by a set screw 108 threaded through cylindrical casing 104.
  • a structural part 110 of plug 1 formed of insulating or dielectric material, carries the actual electrical contacts 109, and is bored to receive plug pins 111 extending through part 110 and electrically connected at their outer ends to respective contacts 109'and at their inner ends to respective sockets 107, each receiving the reduced inner end of a pin 111.
  • Part 110 is held in position by means of a screw 112 threaded into a threaded recess 121 of plug 1.
  • Threaded recess 121 is formed in a further structural part 122 embedded in a sealing compound 123 in cylindrical case 104. Thereby, the connecting and changing of the electric leads 105 within cylindrical case 104 is facilitated.
  • recess 121 could be formed directly in the inner end of cylindrical case 1.
  • Screw 112 has its head engaged with a metallic cover plate 113 which is electrically isolated from member 110 carrying electric contacts 109 through the medium of a dielectric disk 114.
  • a cylindrical sleeve 115 is telescoped over cylindrical case 104 of plug 1, and its inner end, facing shank 101, is formed with an annular recess of a substantial axial length.
  • One end of a coil spring 117 is seated in recess 116, and the opposite end of coil spring 117 engages a flange 118 on cylindrical case 104.
  • the forward or outer end of sleeve 115 is also formed with an annular recess receiving an annular lip seal 120 whose front edge firmly engages the exterior surface of plug part 110 carrying electric contacts 109.
  • the disengageable electrical connector includes a receptacle 2 having a shank or stem 201 which is fixed to a relatively larger part or member 4 which has not been further illustrated in the drawings.
  • Receptacle 2 includes a cylindrical casing 202 whose outer end is open to receive plug 1.
  • the edge of the outer opening in casing 202 is bevelled, as indicated, to form a conically enlarged surface.
  • the inner surface of casing 202 is formed with a groove receiving a sealing ring 203.
  • a hollow cylinder 204 is telescoped within casing 202 and has an open inner end and a closed outer end.
  • a spiral spring 205 has one end engaged within the inner space 210 of cylinder 204, and the other end of spring 205 is engaged in an annular groove 206 in the inner end of cylindrical case 202 adjoining shank 201.
  • cylindrical casing 202 is formed with a plurality of circumferentially spaced axially extending grooves 207 each receiving a respective contact spring 208. Between springs 208 and Shank 201, the inner diameter of casing 202 is increased to form a shoulder limiting outward movement of hollow cylinder 204. Each contact spring 208 is electrically yisolated from casing 202 by means of a respective jacket 209 of dielectric material.
  • hollow cylinder 204 of receptacle 2 is biased by spring 205 to a position in which its outer surface, in cooperation with sealing ring 203, seals the interior of receptacle 2, containing contact spring 208, against atmosphere.
  • Contact springs 208 snugly engage the outer cylindrical surface of hollow cylinder 204 and are thereby short circuited relative to each other.
  • cylindrical sleeve 115 of plug 1 is also biased by spring 117 to extend substantially completely beyond cylindrical casing 102, so that lip seal 120 snugly engages the outer surface of metallic cover plate 113 and thereby seals member 110, carrying electric contacts 109, from the atmosphere.
  • the inner space of cylindrical case 102 is sealed by sealing ring 103 engaging the outer surface of sleeve 115.
  • Lip seal 120 of plug 1 provides, during each movement of cylindrical sleeve 115, both during engagement of the electrical connector and during engagement thereof, a cleaning of electric contacts 109. This results in a relatively long service life of plug 1, which is subjected to a greater wear than are the individual receptacles 2 selectively cooperable therewith.
