Definitions

  • the invention relates, in general, to the electrical connection and the mechanical fixing of connectors.
  • Such connectors can be intended to convey power or control signals. They comprise for example a set of contact modules, respectively male and female, which are intended to cooperate during connection.
  • the assembly of the connectors requires assembly efforts which can be significant depending on the density of points, that is to say of contacts, to be connected. These efforts are linked to the interpenetration of contacts between them. Indeed, the male contacts must come into contact with the female contacts, which are tightening, and which oppose a resistance to the assembly. When the contacts are hermaphroditic, the tightening is generated on either side of the connector and mounting forces can also be significant.
  • the assembly rates generate cost issues related to the installation and maintenance time of the connectors.
  • the use of tools reduces this rate and permanently monopolizes an operator's hand.
  • the document FROM 198 37 896 discloses an electrical connector comprising male and female connectors, as well as a movable mating member.
  • the document US 2004/0002240 also describes a connector device comprising a stationary housing, a movable housing and a sliding lever.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a connector connection system requiring no tool for coupling and uncoupling of the system, which can be implemented easily, with a single hand, and which provides a assistance with assembly and disassembly in order to reduce coupling and uncoupling efforts.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a system for connecting at least one pair of matched connectors according to claim comprising a plate comprising an opening for each pair of connectors and on which is fixed a first connector of said pair and a movable lock. laterally with respect to the plate and to the first connector, said lock being movable in a first position capable of allowing the insertion of the second connector of said pair until the connectors come into contact and in a second stable coupling position and locking connectors.
  • the first position therefore corresponds to an open position of the lock, in which the lock is for example in a retracted position, while the second position corresponds to a closed position of the lock in which the lock is for example in the advanced position.
  • the lock comprises an assembly of at least a first ramp on which rests a pin provided on the second connector when the lock is moved into the second position.
  • the lock further comprises a set of at least one second ramp parallel to the first ramp and on which the pin rests when moving the lock into the first position for uncoupling the connectors.
  • the ramps open into a locking gadroon.
  • the first and the second connectors respectively comprise an end base fitted with means for fixing to the plate and a plug on which the pin or pins are provided.
  • the second connector has a tail for controlling the movement of the lock in the first retracted position, to rest against an end ramp of the lock when the plug of the second connector is approached to the plate.
  • An elastic return element will then advantageously be provided urging the latch in the first position.
  • the system comprises a layer of compressible material suitable for being compressed at the end of the coupling travel of the connectors or at the start of the uncoupling travel of the connectors.
  • the system includes a cap for protection against electromagnetic radiation.
  • connection system 1 is intended to provide assistance in the connection of two connectors, respectively male and female, for an avionics application.
  • connectors conventionally comprise a set of contact modules, having a set of contacts, male or female, provided at the ends of conductors to be connected.
  • the connection system essentially comprises: a plate 2 provided with louvers 3, here four in number, for fixing the connection system on a mounting support; a lock 4 movable transversely, that is to say in the plane of the plate 2, between a first retracted position, corresponding to an open position of the lock and a second advanced position corresponding to a closed position of the lock; a base 5 provided at one end of a first connector to be matched and which is fixed on the plate 2; and a plug 6 provided at one end of a second connector to be matched.
  • the plate 2 comprises a set of openings 7, the number of which depends on the number of connectors to be connected. Although the number of openings is not limiting, in the various embodiments illustrated, the plate 2 can include one, three or five openings for the connection of one, three or five pairs of connectors.
  • each opening the plate has a tab 8 for fixing by screwing the base 5 of the first connector.
  • the peripheral edge of each opening 7 also comprises a set of reliefs delimiting an indentation serving to receive the base 5.
  • the latter has essentially a U-shape and comprises two lateral branches 4a and 4b joined by a base 4c provided with a curved upper tab 4d intended to be operated manually.
  • Each branch 4a and 4b of the lock comprises a set of slots, such as 4th, each delimiting a first ramp 4f and a second ramp 4g extending in parallel and serving respectively when connecting the connectors and the other when disconnecting.
  • each of the 4th slots opens into a 4h end gadroon.
  • the base 5 which is provided at one end of a first connector to be connected, constitutes a mounting part in which the first connector C1 is housed, or which is integral with the latter, and comprises, in this example, an end bracket 5a provided with a hole 5b for fixing the base by means of a screw V ( figure 1 ) on the plate 2.
  • a screw V figure 1
  • any other suitable means for fixing the base on the plate for example a clipping a weld, ...
  • the plug 6 also constitutes an assembly part in which is housed the second connector C2 to be connected or which is integral with the latter.
  • It essentially comprises a tail 6a which is intended to cause the movement of the lock at the start of the connection phase and a set of pins 6b the number of which corresponds to the slots 4e and which are intended to cooperate with the ramps 4f and 4g during the coupling, on the one hand and during uncoupling, on the other hand, of the connectors.
  • the number and position of the pins and of the slots is chosen so as to allow a displacement of the plug in translation, in the axis of the contacts, during the displacement of the lock.
  • the end zone of the tabs 4a and 4b comprises an inclined ramp, such as 4i, on which the end of the tail 6a rests.
  • first connector and the base which it carries are fixed, by being screwed onto the plate 2, while the plug and the corresponding connector constitute a movable and removable part which is dissociated from the connection system until its connection.
  • the lock 4 is inserted into the opening of the plate, and between the plate 3 and the base 5 so that the tab 4d is accessible from the side of the plate. plate 2 opposite the base 5.
  • the plug 6 of the second connector which here constitutes a female connector, is approached to the plate 2, until the tail 6a bears against the end ramp 4i of the lock.
  • the lock is moved sideways to a retracted position ( figures 6b and 6c ) allowing the complete insertion of the second connector to bring the first and second connectors into contact.
  • This movement is advantageously carried out against a return force exerted by an elastically deformable element, such as a spring R interposed between the lock and the plate.
  • the spring R is optional.
  • the presence of one or more keying device (s) made in the form of a rod T which fits into a corresponding hole made in the plate, guarantees the insertion of the plug in line with the base when it is inserted into the plate.
  • the lock is manually advanced by acting on the end shank 4d of the lock.
  • This phase corresponds to the start of the assistance phase for connecting the connectors.
  • the pins 6b come to rest against the ramp 4f of the slots 4e until they reach the end gadroon 4h ( figure 6f ), which corresponds to the end of the assistance phase.
  • the correct connection of the connectors can be visually identified by virtue of a visual mark 10 provided on the plate and which is visible only when the lock is in the fully advanced position.
  • connection system according to the invention is also suitable for providing assistance in uncoupling connectors. Disconnection is obtained by manually moving the lock to the advanced position.
  • the lock should then be moved back ( figures 7b to 7e ) to cause the uncoupling of the contacts, thanks to the second ramp 4g on which the pins 6b rest. It will be noted that this movement takes place against the force exerted by the return spring R.
  • the male contacts are completely extracted from the female contacts and the plug is in the retracted position.
  • the plug is free and can be extracted manually.
