Definitions
- the present invention patent application consists, as indicated in its statement, in a "ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY DEVICE FOR VEHICLES", whose new construction, conformation and design features fulfill the mission for which it has been specifically designed, with a safety and maximum efficiency, which provides numerous advantages, as will be detailed herein.
- the connectors are mounted one by one in the connector box and then the box is fixed to the chassis of the vehicle.
- the main drawback that arises from the use of said mounting system for electrical connectors in vehicles is that the installation of the connector box is usually reduced. Apart from the little space available, the operator who must install the connector box finds that the handling of the connector is complicated because the large number makes it very difficult to assemble and fix it.
- the present device modifies the state of the art mentioned above and comprises, among other elements, a connector box which is provided with a plurality of cavities in which the electrical connectors are housed inside.
- the main feature of the mounting device of the invention is that it also comprises a support that is properly fixed to the chassis of the vehicle and on which the aforementioned connector box is attached.
- This support is provided inside cavities that coincide with the cavities of the connector box, which are adapted to place the electrical connectors mentioned above. The previous placement of the connectors in these cavities of the mentioned support allows them to be conveniently distributed in correspondence with the cavities of the connector box.
- the connector box is advantageously provided with coupling means of the connectors in the connector box that allow these connectors to be removed from the cavities of the support when the connector box is coupled to the support.
- this support attached to the vehicle is advantageous for the purposes of the invention since, when the connector box is installed in the vehicle, the connectors have been previously placed and properly distributed in the support for their Connection.
- the arrangement of the connectors on the support is easy, since they are arranged above the support. Consequently, the assembly is very simple and allows to reduce costs compared to other types of assembly of known connectors.
- said coupling means of the connectors in the connector box comprise at least one screw arranged in the connector box which can be threaded into a hole in the connector. When screwing said screw, the connector cavity is removed from the support cavity and its coupling in the connector box.
- the connector box is arranged on it and the aforementioned screws are threaded, which force the connectors to fit into the corresponding cavity of the connector box.
- the device also includes means for detecting the coupling of each connector in the connector box, which allows the operator to be warned that the connection of the connectors in the box has occurred, or to determine whether There is a connector that has not been properly attached to the connector box.
- Said means for detecting the coupling of each connector in the connector box comprise a bushing mounted around the screw of the coupling means described above. This bushing can slide axially with respect to said screw so that, when the screw is introduced into the hole of the connector, said bushing is forced to slide axially upward so that its upper end protrudes from the connector box indicating to the operator that it has produced the connector coupling.
- the cavities of the support are provided with an upper flange that protrudes into the cavity, which serves to prevent vertical displacement of the connector when the box is not attached to the support.
- This flange has an outwardly inclined surface that facilitates the introduction of the connector.
- each connector is provided with lateral tabs whose ends have an arrow shape that fit under the upper flange of each support cavity.
- Said tongues comprise an inwardly inclined rib that serves to allow the tongue to flex inwardly when the inner wall of the connector box cavity makes contact with the nerve. This allows the connector to be removed from the support cavity and its coupling to the connector box, as described above.
- Figure 1 is a partial sectional elevational view of the electrical connector mounting device for vehicles of the invention, in which the connector box separated from the support is shown.
- Figure 2 is a partial sectional elevational view of the device of the invention, in which the connector box partially coupled in the holder is shown.
- Figure 3 is a partial sectional elevational view of the device of the invention, showing the connector box fully engaged in the holder, and where the connector is shown perfectly connected in the connector box.
- Figure 4 is an enlarged partial view according to the connector mounting device arranged in the position shown in Figure 1.

- the vehicle electrical connector mounting device is constituted by a connector box (1), provided with cavities (2) for housing connectors inside
- the support (4) is internally provided with cavities (5) that coincide with the cavities (2) of the connector box (1) mentioned above. These cavities (5) are also adapted to accommodate the electrical connector (3), as can be clearly seen in Figure 1.
- the support (4) includes means (6) for coupling each connector (3) in the connector box (1) which, in the embodiment of the figures, consist of a series of screws (7) of which only He has represented one in the figures for reasons of clarity.
- the screw (7) is arranged in the connector box (1) and can be screwed into a hole (8) of the connector (3) to cause the connector ( • ) to be removed as specified below.
- the device of the invention is also equipped with means for detecting the coupling of each connector (3) in the connector box (1) consisting of a bushing (9) mounted surrounding the screw (7) externally, so that It can slide axially with respect to it.
- the bushing has a widened upper area (9a) that serves as a stop against inner projections (9b) of the housing (1) to limit the travel of the bushing (9).
- the lower part of said widened area (9a) is in contact with the internal projections (9b), since the connector (3) is not coupled in the box (1).
- the cavities (5) of the support (4) have an upper flange (10) that protrudes into the cavity (5), which can be seen in Figure No. 4.
- This flange ( 10) serves to prevent vertical displacement of the connector (3) when the box (1) is not attached to the support (4).
- each connector (3) is provided with lateral tabs (12) whose ends (13) have an arrow shape and are fitted under the upper flange (10) of each cavity (5) of the support (4), such as shown in figure 4 in which it can also be seen how said tongues (12) are provided with a rib (14) inclined inwardly which serves to cause the tongue (12) to flex inwards (see the position of the figure No. 2) in order to enable the connector (3) to be removed from the cavity (5) of the support (4).
- the support (4) is fixed to the chassis of the vehicle and then the electrical connectors (3) are placed in the corresponding cavities (5) of the support (4), as shown in figure 1, so that the ends (13) of the tabs (12) are perfectly inserted under the upper flange (10) of the cavity (5).
- the connector box (1) is placed on the support (figure 1) until it is attached to it, as shown in figure 2, so that the cavities (2, 5) coincide perfectly.
- the electrical connector (3) moves up to engage the connector box (1), it pushes the bushing (9) at its bottom (16).
- the connection position which is represented in Figure 3, in which the connector (3) is completely coupled in the connector box (1), housed in the cavity (2), the upper end (17 ) of the bushing (9) protrudes slightly from the top (18) of the housing (1) where the screw (7) is housed.
- the bushing (9) is made of plastic material and is provided with a striking color (for example, red) so that said upper end (17) of the protruding one can be easily perceived by the operator who is riding the connectors (3) with the mounting device object of the present invention.
- the device of the invention guarantees the connection between the connectors (3) and the connector box (1) thanks to the elements described above.
