El módulo estanco 1 puede disponer de tres, seis o doce cavidades o vias 2 de entrada y el mismo número de cavidades o vias 2 de salida destinadas a alojar terminales eléctricos y sus cables, estando determinadas el número de las mismas 2 por el diámetro de los terminales que van a ser utilizados en la conexión. Concretamente, pueden ser empleados módulos 1 que disponen de tres vias 2 para el alojamiento de tres terminales de 6,3 mm, módulos 1 de seis vias 2 para el alojamiento de seis terminales de 2,8 mm, módulos 1 de doce vias 2 para el alojamiento de doce terminales de 1,5 mm y módulos 1 de doce vias 2 para el alojamiento de doce terminales de 0,635 mm.The tight module-connector assembly is of special application for coupling between a connector body 5, which has one or more modules inside 1 that incorporate a certain number of terminals associated with the same number of cables, and a body base that also has terminals for its connection with those arranged in the connector body 5. The watertight module 1 can have three, six or twelve cavities or input 2 and the same number of cavities or output 2 intended to accommodate electrical terminals and their cables, the number of them 2 being determined by the diameter of the terminals to be used in the connection. Specifically, modules 1 that have three tracks 2 can be used for the accommodation of three 6.3 mm terminals, modules 1 of six tracks 2 for the accommodation of six terminals of 2.8 mm, modules 1 of twelve tracks 2 for the housing of twelve terminals of 1.5 mm and modules 1 of twelve tracks 2 for the accommodation of twelve terminals of 0.635 mm.
Dichos módulos 1 se introducen en el interior de alojamientos 7 dispuestos en los cuerpos conectores 5, 13 y 14 destinados para tal fin. Para albergar dichos módulos 1 hay tres tipos de conectores, unos 5 que únicamente alojan un módulo 1 de cualquiera de los descritos anteriormente, otros 13 que pueden alojar dos módulos 1 de cualquiera de los descritos anteriormente y otros 14 que pueden alojar tres módulos 1 de cualquiera de los descritos anteriormente. El cuerpo conector 5 que aloja únicamente un módulo ldispone de pestañas laterales 6 para realizar la conexión con el cuerpo base de otro dispositivo.Said modules 1 are inserted inside housings 7 arranged in the connecting bodies 5, 13 and 14 intended for this purpose. To house said modules 1 there are three types of connectors, about 5 that only house one module 1 of any of those described above, others 13 that can accommodate two modules 1 of any of those described above and another 14 that can accommodate three modules 1 of any of those described above. The connector body 5 that houses only one module has side flanges 6 for connection to the base body of another device.
Los cuerpos conectores que pueden alojar dos 13 o tres 14 módulos 2 se componen en su parte superior de un soporte en forma de U 11 y una palanca 8 que gira respecto a unos pivotes 10 y que se encuentra en contacto con unos elementos deslizantes 12 con guias inclinadas que se desplazan por dos ranuras laterales. El soporte 11 sirve para que una vez girada la palanca 8 queden los cables entre ambos elementos, pudiendo direccionar el haz de cables y manteniendo los cables ordenados. Bajo la palanca 8 y en el interior del cuerpo conector se disponen dos o tres alojamientos 7 para la introducción de los módulos 1 en el citado cuerpo conector 13, 14.The connecting bodies that can accommodate two 13 or three 14 modules 2 are composed in their upper part of a U-shaped support 11 and a lever 8 that rotates with respect to pivots 10 and is in contact with sliding elements 12 with inclined guides that move through two lateral grooves. The support 11 serves so that once the lever 8 is turned, the cables remain between both elements, being able to direct the cable bundle and keeping the cables in order. Under the lever 8 and inside the connector body two or three housings 7 are arranged for the introduction of the modules 1 into said connector body 13, 14.
El cuerpo conector 13, 14 se ensambla con un cuerpo base de otro dispositivo, que dispone de al menos dos salientes en sus paredes laterales destinados a introducirse en las guias existentes en los elementos deslizantes 12 del cuerpo conector 13,14, elementos 12 que al hacer girar la palanca 8 respecto a los pivotes 10 en sentido horario se desplazan horizontalmente introduciéndose en el interior del cuerpo conector 13, 14 a la vez que los salientes del cuerpo base se desplazan a lo largo de las guias existentes en dichos elementos deslizantes 12, provocando asi la conexión de ambos cuerpos, el cuerpo conector 13, 14 y el cuerpo base.The connector body 13, 14 is assembled with a base body of another device, which has at least two projections in its side walls intended to be introduced in the existing guides in the sliding elements 12 of the connector body 13,14, elements 12 which at the rotate the lever 8 with respect to the pivots 10 clockwise horizontally, moving inside the connector body 13, 14 while the projections of the base body move along the guides existing in said sliding elements 12, thus causing the connection of both bodies, the connector body 13, 14 and the base body.
Con el objetivo de proteger la zona de conexión entre los terminales de la corrosión se dispone una banda elástica 4 alrededor del perímetro de la parte superior de cada módulo que dota a los mismos y a las conexiones entre los terminales de condiciones estancas.In order to protect the connection area between the terminals from corrosion, an elastic band 4 is arranged around the perimeter of the upper part of the each module that provides them and the connections between the terminals with watertight conditions.
Una vez realizada la conexión entre el cuerpo conector 5, 13, 14, con el módulo 2 o los módulos 2 en sus alojamientos 7 y el cuerpo base, se introducen a través de orificios 9 dispuestos en las paredes laterales del conector 5, 13, 14 dispositivos de cierre secundario. La misión de dichos dispositivos es asegurar el correcto posicionamiento de los módulos 2 en el interior 7 del cuerpo conector 5, 13, 14 y por tanto verificar la correcta conexión entre los terminales del cuerpo conector 5, 13, 14 y del cuerpo base. Dichos dispositivos consisten en elementos alargados y de pequeño espesor que atraviesan las paredes del conjunto conector y se deslizan a lo largo de ranuras 3 practicadas en las paredes laterales de los módulos .Once the connection is made between the connector body 5, 13, 14, with the module 2 or the modules 2 in their housings 7 and the base body, they are introduced through holes 9 arranged in the side walls of the connector 5, 13, 14 secondary closure devices. The mission of said devices is to ensure the correct positioning of the modules 2 inside 7 of the connector body 5, 13, 14 and therefore verify the correct connection between the terminals of the connector body 5, 13, 14 and the base body. Said devices consist of elongated and small elements that pass through the walls of the connector assembly and slide along grooves 3 in the side walls of the modules.
