Description

PROCEDE POUR FABRIQUER UN CONNECTEUR ANTAGONISTE METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ANTAGONIST CONNECTOR
ET CONNECTEUR AINSI FABRIQUE. AND CONNECTOR SO MANUFACTURED.
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé pour fabriquer un dispositif de connexion avec un connecteur spécifique ; elle se rapporte aussi à un dispositif ainsi fabriqué. Elle vise particulièrement à résoudre des problèmes de connectique, dans certains secteurs industriels de pointe, tels que l'aéronautique, le spatial ou la défense. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a connection device with a specific connector; it also relates to a device thus manufactured. It is particularly aimed at solving connectivity problems in some advanced industrial sectors, such as aeronautics, space and defense.
Dans ces secteurs, la fourniture de la connectique pose souvent des problèmes, notamment en termes de délais d'approvisionnement et de coût. En effet, les connecteurs embarqués sont souvent spécifiques à une application et ne bénéficient pas des effets de volume, contrairement aux connecteurs utilisés sur des applications « grand public » tels que l'automobile ou la téléphonie. Ces coûts et ces délais sont d'autant plus problématiques sur les systèmes de test. En effet, les systèmes de tests ont des cycles de vie différents de ceux de systèmes à tester auxquels ils doivent se connecter, pour les tester. L'invention a pour but de proposer un procédé pour fabriquer rapidement et à faible coût un connecteur antagoniste à celui existant. Par la suite, on appelle connecteur primaire le connecteur existant. Un tel procédé doit permettre, notamment, de connecter rapidement et avec un coût limité un système de test équipé d'un tel connecteur antagoniste à un système embarqué équipé du connecteur primaire. Le système embarqué peut notamment être un faisceau de câble, un équipement ou un calculateur. In these sectors, the supply of connectors often poses problems, particularly in terms of supply and cost times. Indeed, embedded connectors are often specific to an application and do not benefit from volume effects, unlike connectors used on "mainstream" applications such as automotive or telephony. These costs and delays are all the more problematic for test systems. In fact, test systems have different life cycles than test systems to which they must connect, to test them. The object of the invention is to propose a method for rapidly and inexpensively manufacturing a connector that is antagonistic to the existing one. Subsequently, the primary connector is the existing connector. Such a method must make it possible, in particular, to connect quickly and at a limited cost a test system equipped with such an opposing connector to an on-board system equipped with primary connector. The embedded system may in particular be a cable harness, an equipment or a calculator.
Pour atteindre son but, l'invention propose un procédé pour fabriquer un connecteur antagoniste adapté à se brancher sur un connecteur primaire comprenant plusieurs contacts primaires débouchant au travers d'une paroi, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des étapes pour : To achieve its purpose, the invention provides a method for manufacturing an opposing connector adapted to be connected to a primary connector comprising a plurality of primary contacts opening through a wall, characterized in that it comprises steps for:
- disposer un coffrage autour des contacts primaires et contre ladite paroi; et, - Have a form around the primary contacts and against said wall; and,
- mettre en prise au moins un desdits contacts primaires avec un contact antagoniste respectif relié à un conducteur, de préférence chacun des contacts primaires avec un contact antagoniste respectif ; puis, - engaging at least one of said primary contacts with a respective one of the respective contact contacts connected to a conductor, preferably each of the primary contacts with a respective counter contact; then,
- couler une matrice, dans le coffrage, de préférence une résine, de sorte que ladite matrice constitue, une fois durcie, un corps sensiblement rigide pour le connecteur antagoniste apte à maintenir le positionnement relatif des contacts antagonistes entre eux.  casting a matrix in the form, preferably a resin, so that said matrix is, once cured, a substantially rigid body for the opposing connector capable of maintaining the relative positioning of the opposing contacts between them.
Préalablement à la pose du coffrage, le procédé peut comprendre une étape pour disposer un film de protection contre la paroi. Le connecteur primaire peut être un connecteur mâle et les contacts primaires être des broches. Prior to the installation of the formwork, the method may comprise a step for disposing a protective film against the wall. The primary connector may be a male connector and the primary contacts be pins.
Avantageusement, le coffrage est fabriqué spécifiquement pour s'adapter au connecteur primaire. De préférence le coffrage est fabriqué par impression 3D. Advantageously, the formwork is manufactured specifically to adapt to the primary connector. Preferably the formwork is manufactured by 3D printing.
L'invention porte aussi sur un connecteur antagoniste réalisé par un procédé selon l'invention. Avantageusement, les conducteurs d'un tel connecteur forment ensemble un faisceau dont une extrémité distale comprend un connecteur distal. Plusieurs modes d'exécution de l'invention seront décrits ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels : The invention also relates to an antagonist connector made by a method according to the invention. Advantageously, the conductors of such a connector together form a bundle whose distal end comprises a distal connector. Several embodiments of the invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting examples, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue en coupe d'un connecteur primaire ; - Figure 1 is a sectional view of a primary connector;
- les figures 2 à 5 illustrent différentes étapes de fabrication, selon l'invention, d'un connecteur antagoniste au connecteur de la figure 1 ; et,  - Figures 2 to 5 illustrate different manufacturing steps, according to the invention, a connector to the connector connector of Figure 1; and,
- la figure 6 est une coupe schématique du connecteur antagoniste ainsi fabriqué.  - Figure 6 is a schematic section of the opposing connector thus manufactured.
La figure 1 illustre un connecteur 1 d'un système à tester, appelé par la suite « connecteur primaire ». Le matériel de test ne possède pas de connecteur antagoniste, c'est-à-dire de connecteur adapté pour se brancher sur le connecteur primaire. L'invention propose un procédé pour fabriquer un tel connecteur antagoniste, de façon que le matériel de test puisse être branché sur le matériel à tester. Selon l'invention, on obtient un connecteur antagoniste 2 (illustré à la figure 6) en moulant celui-ci à partir du connecteur primaire 1. Cela consiste à mettre en fiche des contacts antagonistes, raccordés à une fiche distale générique, sur les contacts primaires du connecteur primaire 1 et de couler une résine qui fera office de matrice au connecteur antagoniste 2. Un coffrage est conçu spécifiquement pour la géométrie du connecteur primaire 1. Figure 1 illustrates a connector 1 of a system to be tested, hereinafter called "primary connector". The test equipment does not have an opposing connector, that is, a connector adapted to connect to the primary connector. The invention proposes a method for manufacturing such an opposing connector, so that the test equipment can be connected to the equipment to be tested. According to the invention, an opposing connector 2 (shown in FIG. 6) is obtained by molding it from the primary connector 1. This consists of plugging the antagonistic contacts, connected to a generic distal plug, into the contacts. primary primary connector 1 and cast a resin that will act as a matrix to the opposing connector 2. A formwork is designed specifically for the geometry of the primary connector 1.
Comme illustré à la figure 1, le connecteur primaire 1 comprend un cadre métallique périphérique 4, un fond 5 et des contacts 6. Dans l'exemple illustré, le connecteur est un connecteur « mâle », c'est-à-dire que les contacts sont des contacts « mâles », en forme de broches 6, et, le fond et le cadre définissent entre eux un logement 7 pour les broches. Les broches 6 s'étendent au travers du fond 5 en direction d'une ouverture 8 formée par le cadre 4 à l'opposé du fond 5. Les figures 2 à 6 illustrent plus en détail la fabrication du connecteur antagoniste 2. La figure 2 illustre une première étape pour la fabrication du connecteur antagoniste 2. Dans la première étape, on dispose un film souple 11 destiné à protéger le connecteur primaire lors de la fabrication et à permettre de dissocier le connecteur antagoniste du connecteur primaire, à la fin de la fabrication. Dans l'exemple illustré, le connecteur primaire étant un connecteur mâle, le film est percé par les broches, de sorte qu'il vient s'appliquer sur le fond 5. Le film 11 est de préférence un film PEHD (Polyéthylène haute densité). As illustrated in FIG. 1, the primary connector 1 comprises a peripheral metal frame 4, a bottom 5 and contacts 6. In the example illustrated, the connector is a "male" connector, that is to say that the contacts are "male" contacts, in the form of pins 6, and the bottom and the frame define between them a housing 7 for the pins. The pins 6 extend through the bottom 5 towards an opening 8 formed by the frame 4 opposite the bottom 5. FIGS. 2 to 6 illustrate in more detail the manufacture of the counter-connector 2. FIG. 2 illustrates a first step for the manufacture of the opposing connector 2. In the first step, a flexible film 11 is provided for protecting the primary connector when manufacture and allow to dissociate the connector connector from the primary connector, at the end of manufacture. In the illustrated example, the primary connector being a male connector, the film is pierced by the pins, so that it is applied to the bottom 5. The film 11 is preferably a HDPE film (high density polyethylene) .
Un coffrage 12, adapté aux dimensions internes du logement 7 est fabriqué, par exemple par impression 3D. Le coffrage 12 définit les dimensions extérieures transversales du connecteur antagoniste à fabriquer, de sorte qu'il puisse venir se loger dans le logement 7 du connecteur primaire. A formwork 12, adapted to the internal dimensions of the housing 7 is manufactured, for example by 3D printing. The formwork 12 defines the outer transverse dimensions of the opposing connector to be manufactured, so that it can be housed in the housing 7 of the primary connector.
La figure 3 illustre une deuxième étape pour la fabrication du connecteur antagoniste 2. Dans la deuxième étape, on dispose le coffrage 12 dans le logement 7, de sorte que le coffrage 12 sert au maintien du film 11 contre le fond 5. Les parois internes du coffrage 12 et le fond 5, protégé par le film 11, définissent entre eux une cavité 13 pour y mouler le connecteur antagoniste. Le coffrage 12 est conçu de sorte qu'étant ainsi disposé, ses parois s'étendent depuis le fond 5 au- delà de l'ouverture 8 du logement 7, la cavité 13 englobe l'ensemble des broches 6 sur toute leur longueur, et, tous sont à distance des parois du coffrage. De préférence, le coffrage est monté, ajusté entre les parois du cadre La figure 4 illustre une troisième étape pour la fabrication du connecteur antagoniste 2. FIG. 3 illustrates a second step for manufacturing the opposing connector 2. In the second step, the formwork 12 is placed in the housing 7, so that the formwork 12 serves to hold the film 11 against the bottom 5. The internal walls of the formwork 12 and the bottom 5, protected by the film 11, define between them a cavity 13 for molding the opposing connector. The formwork 12 is designed so that being arranged, its walls extend from the bottom 5 beyond the opening 8 of the housing 7, the cavity 13 includes all the pins 6 over their entire length, and , all are away from the walls of the formwork. Preferably, the form is mounted, adjusted between the frame walls FIG. 4 illustrates a third step for the manufacture of the counter-connector 2.
Dans la troisième étape, on dispose des contacts antagonistes 16 en prise avec les contacts primaires 6 du connecteur primaire. Le connecteur antagoniste étant un connecteur « femelle », les contacts antagonistes sont des cosses 16 dans lesquelles les broches 6 sont insérées, de sorte que l'extrémité libre 17 de chaque cosse est en appui le film 11, plaqué contre le fond 5. Chaque broche 6 est en prise avec une cosse 16 respective. Chaque cosse 16 est prolongée, à son extrémité opposée à son extrémité libre, par un conducteur électrique 18 isolé ; l'ensemble des conducteurs 18 forment un faisceau 19. Une extrémité distale, non représentée, du faisceau 19 est constituée d'un connecteur distal adapté à se brancher sur le matériel de test. La figure 5 illustre une quatrième étape pour la fabrication du connecteur antagoniste 2. In the third step, there are antagonistic contacts 16 engaged with the primary contacts 6 of the primary connector. Since the counter-connector is a "female" connector, the counter contacts are lugs 16 in which the pins 6 are inserted, so that the free end 17 of each lug bears the film 11, pressed against the bottom 5. Each pin 6 is engaged with a respective lug 16. Each lug 16 is extended, at its end opposite its free end, by an isolated electrical conductor 18; all of the conductors 18 form a beam 19. A distal end, not shown, of the beam 19 consists of a distal connector adapted to connect to the test equipment. FIG. 5 illustrates a fourth step for the manufacture of the connector connector 2.
Dans la quatrième étape, on coule une résine 21 dans le coffrage. De préférence, la résine est une résine à durcissement rapide. La résine 21 est coulée de sorte que les cosses 16 y soient noyées, ainsi que toute partie découverte des conducteurs 18. Une fois la résine suffisamment durcie, le coffrage est retiré et le connecteur antagoniste démoulé. Pour faciliter le démoulage, le coffrage peut être prévu en une matière frangible. Une fois durcie, la résine constitue un corps 22 sensiblement rigide pour le connecteur antagoniste 2. Elle assure aussi, à la fois le positionnement des cosses et l'isolation électrique du connecteur antagoniste. In the fourth step, a resin 21 is poured into the formwork. Preferably, the resin is a fast curing resin. The resin 21 is cast so that the lugs 16 are embedded therein, as well as any exposed portion of the conductors 18. Once the resin sufficiently hardened, the form is removed and the opposing connector demolded. To facilitate demolding, the formwork can be provided in a frangible material. Once cured, the resin forms a substantially rigid body 22 for the counter-connector 2. It also ensures both the positioning of the lugs and the electrical insulation of the opposing connector.
Après démoulage, on obtient le connecteur antagoniste 2, tel qu'illustré en coupe à la figure 6, prêt à être utilisé. Ainsi fabriqué, le connecteur antagoniste, le faisceau et le connecteur distal, constituent un adaptateur permettant de brancher le matériel de test sur le matériel à tester. Bien sûr, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation préférés qui viennent d'être décrits mais, au contraire, l'invention est définie par les revendications qui suivent. After demolding, the opposing connector 2 is obtained, as shown in section in Figure 6, ready to use. Thus manufactured, the connector antagonist, the beam and the distal connector, constitute an adapter allowing to connect the test equipment on the material to be tested. Of course, the invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments which have just been described but, on the contrary, the invention is defined by the following claims.
Il apparaîtra en effet à l'homme de l'art que diverses modifications peuvent être apportées aux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, à la lumière de l'enseignement qui vient de lui être divulgué. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the embodiments described above, in the light of the teaching that has just been disclosed.
Ainsi, même si la fabrication d'un connecteur antagoniste a été décrite pour répondre à la nécessité de relier un matériel de test à un matériel à tester, un procédé de fabrication selon l'invention s'applique à tous les cas où il est nécessaire de fabriquer un connecteur antagoniste pour un connecteur primaire. Thus, even if the manufacture of an opposing connector has been described to meet the need to connect a test equipment to a test material, a manufacturing method according to the invention applies to all cases where it is necessary to make an opposing connector for a primary connector.
En outre, un connecteur antagoniste mâle peut aussi être fabriqué pour un connecteur primaire femelle. Dans ce cas, le connecteur primaire comprend des cosses dans lesquelles on vient ficher des broches, au travers du film souple qui protège le connecteur primaire. In addition, a male counter connector may also be manufactured for a female primary connector. In this case, the primary connector comprises lugs in which one comes to file pins, through the flexible film that protects the primary connector.
De plus, le coffrage peut être fabriqué en une ou plusieurs pièces. Aussi, plutôt que d'être retiré, le coffrage peut être prévu pour être une partie intégrante du connecteur antagoniste ; notamment, pour en assurer la solidité et/ou servir à sa préhension. In addition, the formwork may be manufactured in one or more rooms. Also, rather than being removed, the formwork can be provided to be an integral part of the opposing connector; in particular, to ensure its solidity and / or to be used for its grip.
