Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical connector whose connection lock is produced by padlock.
- Electrical connectors are known, the connection of which is locked by means of a hook of a connector element engaged in engagement in the other element, and which can optionally be locked by means of a padlock or of 'a key lock.
- a connector locking arrangement is inconvenient and does not provide maximum security.
- the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes an electrical connector of the type comprising a receiver contact element or receptacle and a movable contact element or plug, which is intended to be inserted in the receptacle on connection, characterized in that the base comprises a lateral external base, close to its insertion opening and forming a sliding bearing of a padlock rod threaded into said base, the base being open on the internal face of the opening part of the base to allow said padlock rod to engage in a recess or a complementary groove formed laterally on the body of the plug in a position suitable to correspond to the connection.
- the said recess or the groove of the plug can be formed on a portion of its body, it is convenient to provide for a connector with a cylindrical conformation of circular section, an annular groove extending over the circular periphery of the body of the plug.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a connector according to the invention in the disconnected position
- - Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the connector according to the invention in the disconnected position
- FIG. 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 of the connector in the connected position; and - Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 of the connector in the connected position.
- the connector shown equipped with the connection locking device according to the invention, is of a conventional type comprising a base 1 and a complementary movable plug 3. It is of cylindrical conformation and of circular section.
- the plug 3 comprises contact pins 5 arranged in the middle middle part of its external body 7 and parallel to the axis of the connector.
- the base 1 is complementary to the plug and comprises cells 9 for receiving the pins 5 of the plug, arranged slightly recessed with respect to its front opening face 1 1, and an external body 13 of diameter slightly larger than that of sheet 3.
- the base 1 further comprises a cylindrical lateral base 15 disposed close to the opening 11 and parallel to the plane of the opening.
- This base 15 is therefore perpendicular to the axis of the connector. It has an internal bore 17 formed in the axis of the base and whose diameter is equal, with little play, to that of the rod 19 (cylindrical) of a head padlock 21 intended for locking the connection.
- This bore 17 is open at 23 on the inner face of the opening part of the base revealing the rod 19 of the padlock (FIG. 2), projecting from the internal face of the base, substantially half of its diameter.
- this base 15 may be an attached part fixed to the body of the base or be formed by molding in one piece with it as in the connector shown.
- the plug 3 comprises an annular groove 25 formed substantially in the middle part of its body 7, perpendicular to its axis (axis of the connector) and the depth of which corresponds, with little play, to the protrusion of the rod 19 of the padlock inside of the base.
- the positioning of this groove 25 on the body of the plug is determined so that in the plugged-in position of the plug in the base, it corresponds to the precise position of connection of the connector and that it comes in line with the bore. At this position, to lock the connection, just to engage the socket rod 19 of the padlock in the base 15, then in the groove 25 of the plug, until it locks in the padlock head.
- connection is perfectly locked.
- the connection is rigid, involving the padlock rod directly in blocking the plug relative to the base and not externally to a locking hook as in the prior art mentioned.
- Disconnection is obtained by opening the padlock and removing the padlock plug rod from the base to release the connection between the base and the plug.
- the padlock could be engaged by its rod on each side of the base, the U-shaped rod parts coming in lateral notches in the body of the base and take in a groove in the plug. , formed in a suitable position on the body of the plug to correspond to the connection position, the base can be removed.
- the shape of the connector can be variable and is not limited to the cylindrical shape with circular section as shown.
