Description

La présente invention a pour objet un connecteur électrique.The present invention relates to an electrical connector.

Plus particulièrement le connecteur selon l'invention est du type de ceux comportant un corps allongé creux s'inscrivant dans un cylindre et recevant un support d'au moins un fiche femelle ou mâle sur laquelle vient se fixer un conducteur de courant et destinée à coopérer avec respectivement une fiche mâle ou femel­le d'un appareil électrique ou d'un connecteur du même type.More particularly, the connector according to the invention is of the type of those comprising a hollow elongated body which fits into a cylinder and receives a support of at least one female or male plug on which a current conductor is fixed and intended to cooperate. with respectively a male or female plug of an electrical appliance or a connector of the same type.

Sur tous ces connecteurs existants le support de fiches est placé dans le corps à partir de la partie avant de celui-ci et les fils à connecter aux fiches pénètrent dans le corps par sa partie arrière.On all these existing connectors the plug support is placed in the body from the front part thereof and the wires to be connected to the plugs enter the body through its rear part.

La plupart des connecteurs sont dotés de plusieurs pièces telles que le serre-câble disposé en partie arrière, le guide câble, une vis de fixation du support de fiches et un élément de verrouillage en position du connecteur.Most connectors have several parts such as the cable clamp located at the rear, the cable guide, a screw for fixing the plug holder and a locking element in position of the connector.

Pour fixer les fils du câble sur les fiches, il est nécessaire de démonter totalement le connecteur, d'enfiler sur le câble les diverses pièces se trouvant en arrière du support de fiches dans le connecteur ainsi que le corps, de souder les fils sur les fiches puis de remonter l'ensemble des pièces constituant le connecteur.To fix the cable wires on the plugs, it is necessary to completely disassemble the connector, thread on the cable the various parts located behind the plug support in the connector as well as the body, solder the wires on the plugs then reassemble all the parts making up the connector.

Il arrive très fréquemment, par ce procédé de montage inhérent à la structure des connecteurs, que l'utilisateur, lors du remontage de l'ensemble, s'aperçoive qu'il a oublié d'enfiler sur le câble une pièce ou qu'il a inversé l'ordre des dites pièces.It very often happens, by this mounting process inherent in the structure of the connectors, that the user, when reassembling the assembly, realizes that he forgot to put a piece on the cable or that he reversed the order of said pieces.

Il est donc amené à détruire les soudures faites et à recommen­cer l'opération.He is therefore led to destroy the welds made and to start the operation again.

Ces possibilités d'oubli ou d'erreur sont un inconvénient de ces connecteurs.These possibilities of forgetting or error are a drawback of these connectors.

D'autre part, la fixation du support de fiches est réalisée dans la plupart des connecteurs par une vis coopérant avec un écrou porté par le dit support ou le corps du connecteur.On the other hand, the fixing of the plug support is carried out in most connectors by a screw cooperating with a nut carried by said support or the body of the connector.

La perte de cette vis n'est pas rare, ce qui est génant puisque celle-ci dans le connecteur constitue une masse.The loss of this screw is not uncommon, which is annoying since it in the connector constitutes a mass.

De plus, ce type de fixation du support de fiches peut facile­ment prendre du jeu ce qui, à la longue, peut jouer sur la qualité de la connexion entre les contacts et sur la fixation des conducteurs à l'arrière des fiches.In addition, this type of attachment of the plug support can easily take up play which, in the long run, can affect the quality of the connection between the contacts and the attachment of the conductors to the rear of the plugs.

Les connecteurs sont également pour la plupart pourvus de moyens de verrouillage sur un appareil ou sur un autre connecteur qui présentent des qualités d'accrochage ou de manipulation souvent médiocres.The connectors are also for the most part provided with locking means on a device or on another connector which have often poor attachment or handling qualities.

La présente invention vise à pallier aux inconvénients ci-dessus évoqués en proposant un connecteur électrique permettant le branchement des conducteurs sur les fiches sans risque de perte ou d'oubli de pièces et d'erreur de montage, offrant un parfait blocage de support de fiches dans le corps et assurant un verrouillage efficace et de manipulation aisée.The present invention aims to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks by proposing an electrical connector allowing the connection of the conductors to the plugs without risk of loss or forgetting of parts and mounting error, offering perfect blocking of the plug support. in the body and ensuring effective locking and easy handling.

A cet effet, le connecteur selon l'invention comporte un corps creux de forme allongée, un support de pièces de contact, un dispositif serre-câble, un capot arrière et un guide câble solidaire du capot arrière et se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il comporte dans le corps au moins une ouverture radiale ménagée entre la portion avant recevant le support des pièces de contact et la partie arrière recevant le capot arrière de façon que les extrémités arrières des pièces de contact soient acces­sibles par la ou les dites ouvertures, au moins un capot amovible destiné à obturer une ouverture et à définir avec le corps au moins une chambre de branchement à l'arrière du support des pièces de contact et au moins un moyen de blocage en position de fermeture du ou des capots dans leur ouverture.To this end, the connector according to the invention comprises a hollow body of elongated shape, a support for contact parts, a cable clamp device, a rear cover and a cable guide secured to the rear cover and is essentially characterized in that it comprises in the body at least one radial opening formed between the front portion receiving the support of the contact parts and the rear part receiving the rear cover so that the rear ends of the contact parts are accessible through the said opening (s), at at least one removable cover intended to close an opening and to define with the body at least one connection chamber at the rear of the support for the contact parts and at least one locking means in the closed position of the cover (s) in their opening.

Tel que représenté aux figures 1 et 2 le connecteur selon l'invention comporte un corps 1 creux de forme allongée, un support 2 d'au moins une pièce de contact 3 destiné à se placer dans la partie avant du corps 1, un dispositif serre-câble 4 placé à l'arrière du corps 1 et destiné à venir serrer le câble conducteur, un capot 5 arrière destiné à se monter sur le corps 1 et un guide-câble 6 solidaire du capot arrière 5.As shown in Figures 1 and 2 the connector according to the invention comprises a hollow body 1 of elongated shape, a support 2 of at least one contact piece 3 intended to be placed in the front part of the body 1, a clamping device cable 4 placed at the rear of the body 1 and intended to clamp the conductive cable, a rear cover 5 intended to be mounted on the body 1 and a cable guide 6 secured to the rear cover 5.

Le connecteur selon l'invention peut être du type mâle ou du type femelle ou encore du type hermaphrodite. Dans le premier cas, la ou les pièces de contact sont consti­tuées par des douilles, dans le second cas par des fiches et dans le troisième cas par des douilles et des fiches combinées.The connector according to the invention can be of the male or female type or even of the hermaphrodite type. In the first case, the contact piece or pieces consist of sockets, in the second case by plugs and in the third case by sockets and combined plugs.

Préférentiellement le connecteur est du type multipolaire sans que cela soit limitatif.Preferably, the connector is of the multipolar type without this being limiting.

Le câble conducteur destiné à se brancher sur ce connecteur peut comporter plusieurs fils électriques destinés chacun à être soudé ou serti sur la partie arrière d'une pièce de contact 3 dépassant à l'arrière du support 2.The conductive cable intended to be connected to this connector may comprise several electrical wires each intended to be welded or crimped on the rear part of a contact piece 3 protruding from the rear of the support 2.

Le dit support est monté dans le corps 1 de façon que ces pièces de contact 3 soient accessibles de l'extérieur sur la partie avant du dit corps et que l'extrémité des pièces de contact 3 où sont réalisées les soudures ou sertissages dépassant de la partie arrière du support 2 soient contenues dans le corps 1 et inaccessibles lorsque le connecteur est en état d'utilisation.Said support is mounted in the body 1 so that these contact pieces 3 are accessible from the outside on the front part of said body and that the end of the contact pieces 3 where the welds or crimps are made protruding from the rear part of the support 2 are contained in the body 1 and inaccessible when the connector is in use.

Le câble dont les conducteurs sont fixés aux pièces de contact entre par la partie arrière du connecteur en passant à travers le dispositif serre-câble 4, le capot arrière 5 et le guide fil 6.The cable, the conductors of which are fixed to the contact pieces, enters via the rear part of the connector, passing through the cable clamp device 4, the rear cover 5 and the wire guide 6.

Le corps 1 du connecteur est creux et de forme allongée et présente une section transversale intérieure de préférence circulaire.The body 1 of the connector is hollow and elongated and has an interior cross section, preferably circular.

Selon une forme préférentielle de réalisation la section trans­versale extérieure du corps 1 du connecteur selon l'invention est polygonale et de préférence hexagonale.According to a preferred embodiment, the external cross section of the body 1 of the connector according to the invention is polygonal and preferably hexagonal.

Dans la partie avant du dit corps du connecteur est monté le support 2 de pièces de contact 3.In the front part of said connector body is mounted the support 2 of contact parts 3.

Le dit support tel que représenté aux figures annexées est de section transversale circulaire et est doté axialement d'au moins un alésage 7 le traversant de part en part et destiné à recevoir une pièce de contact 3.Said support as shown in the appended figures is of circular cross section and is provided axially with at least one bore 7 passing right through it and intended to receive a contact part 3.

La partie arrière du support 2 des pièces de contact 3 est pourvue d'une patte 8 s'étendant axialement sur le bord de la dite partie arrière et présentant une section transversale en portion de cylindre et dotée d'une ouverture 9 ménagée longi­tudinalement dans la dite patte à partir de son extrémité arrière et perpendiculairement à la face plane de la patte.The rear part of the support 2 of the contact parts 3 is provided with a lug 8 extending axially on the edge of said rear part and having a cross section in cylinder portion and provided with an opening 9 formed longitudinally in the said leg from its rear end and perpendicular to the flat face of the leg.

Le corps du connecteur est doté d'un ergot 10 ménagé sur sa surface intérieure radialement et destiné à se loger dans l'ou­verture 9 de la patte 8 du support 2 de pièces de contact.The connector body is provided with a lug 10 formed on its inner surface radially and intended to be housed in the opening 9 of the tab 8 of the support 2 of contact parts.

Préférentiellement l'ergot 10 est réalisé perpendiculairement à l'axe du corps 1 et sur le fond d'une empreinte 11 en arc de cercle dans laquelle se loge la patte 8 du support 2.Preferably, the lug 10 is produced perpendicular to the axis of the body 1 and on the bottom of an imprint 11 in an arc of a circle in which the lug 8 of the support 2 is housed.

Sur la face arrière du support 2 débouchent les extrémités des pièces de contact 3.On the rear face of the support 2 open the ends of the contact parts 3.

Les parties arrières des supports 2 des pièces de contact 3 mâles et femelles sont identiques.The rear parts of the supports 2 of the male and female contact parts 3 are identical.

Tel que représenté en figure 1 le support 2 de douilles, c est-à-dire de pièces de contact femelles présente sur sa périphérie une colerette 12 destinée à s'appuyer sur la partie avant du corps 1 du connecteur.As shown in Figure 1 the support 2 of sockets, that is to say of female contact parts has on its periphery a flange 12 intended to bear on the front part of the body 1 of the connector.

Le corps 1 entre l'empreinte 11 et l'extrémité avant présente une surface 13 interne conique et le support 2 en arrière de la colerette 12 est également conique afin de pénétrer et se centrer dans le corps 1.
En avant de la colerette 12 le support 2 de douilles est de préférence cylindrique.The body 1 between the cavity 11 and the front end has a conical internal surface 13 and the support 2 behind the flange 12 is also conical in order to penetrate and center in the body 1.
In front of the flange 12 the support 2 for sockets is preferably cylindrical.

Tel que représenté en figure 2 le support 2 de fiches, c'est-à-­dire de pièces de contact mâles est de préférence cylindrique et est destiné à se placer dans la portion cylindrique 14 du corps 1 et de façon que l'ergot 10 soit placé dans l'ouverture 9 de la patte 8 du support 2.As shown in Figure 2 the support 2 of plugs, that is to say of male contact parts is preferably cylindrical and is intended to be placed in the cylindrical portion 14 of the body 1 and so that the lug 10 is placed in the opening 9 of the tab 8 of the support 2.

En avant de la portion cylindrique 14, le corps 1 présente une portion interne 15 conique destinée à recevoir la partie avant d'un support de pièces de contact femelles.
Dans cette portion conique 15 avant s'étendent les fiches de contact.In front of the cylindrical portion 14, the body 1 has an internal conical portion 15 intended to receive the front portion of a support for female contact parts.
In this front conical portion 15 extend the contact plugs.

Préférentiellement la portion conique avant 15 est dotée d'une rainure 16 de détrompage permettant le positionnement des douil­ les du support 2 qui est doté également d'une saillie de détrom­page.Preferably the front conical portion 15 is provided with a keying groove 16 allowing the positioning of the bushing of the support 2 which is also provided with a keying projection.

La partie avant 15 du corps 1 du connecteur du type mâle est conique afin de bien centrer le support de douilles et afin également de permettre la connexion entre les pièces de contact même lorsque le support 2 de douilles présente un diamètre à la tolérance maximum.
Cette portion conique 15 permet également de réaliser un blocage de la pièce femelle connectée.The front part 15 of the body 1 of the connector of the male type is conical in order to center the socket support well and also in order to allow the connection between the contact parts even when the socket support 2 has a diameter at the maximum tolerance.
This conical portion 15 also makes it possible to block the connected female part.

Les supports 2 des pièces de contact 3 sont positionnés en rota­tion dans leur corps 1 respectif par l'ergot 10 logé dans l'ouverture 9 de la patte 8 et par l'empreinte 11 dans laquelle se place la dite patte.The supports 2 of the contact parts 3 are positioned in rotation in their respective bodies 1 by the lug 10 housed in the opening 9 of the tab 8 and by the imprint 11 in which the said tab is placed.

L'ergot 10 sur son extrémité dépassant au dessus de la patte 8 est déformé par emboutissage afin de bloquer en position le support 2.
A cet effet, l'ergot 10 présente dans son extrémité à déformer une partie creuse.
Sur l'ergot 10 vient se placer une cosse de masse 10A qui est bloquée sur le dit ergot lors de la déformation de l'extrémité de ce dernier.
Cette cosse 10A repose sur la patte 8 et constitue une masse par rapport au corps 1.The lug 10 on its end projecting above the tab 8 is deformed by stamping in order to lock the support 2 in position.
To this end, the lug 10 has in its end to deform a hollow part.
On the lug 10 is placed a ground lug 10A which is locked on the said lug during the deformation of the end of the latter.
This terminal 10A rests on the tab 8 and constitutes a mass relative to the body 1.

Les fiches et les douilles sont dotées sur leur extrémité arriè­re destinée à être en saillie à l'arrière du support 2, d'une réservation 19 dans laquelle est réalisée la soudure de fixation des fils conducteurs.The plugs and sockets are provided on their rear end intended to be protruding behind the support 2, with a reservation 19 in which the soldering of the conductive wires is carried out.

Il est nécessaire que cette réservation ait une orientation donnée facilitant la réalisation de la soudure.
De plus, les douilles et les fiches peuvent se présenter à des niveaux longitudinaux différents de l'une à l'autre, si une priorité de connexion sur une des pièces de contact est désirée.It is necessary that this reservation has a given orientation facilitating the production of the weld.
In addition, the sockets and plugs can be present at different longitudinal levels from one to the other, if a connection priority on one of the contact parts is desired.

Le support 2 est doté de moyens pour le positionnement longitu­nal des fiches et des douilles, leur blocage en translation et en rotation ainsi que le positionnement de leur réservation par rapport au support 2.The support 2 is provided with means for the longitudinal positioning of the plugs and sockets, their locking in translation and in rotation as well as the positioning of their reservation with respect to the support 2.

A cet effet, les dites douilles et fiches sont dotées entre leur surface de connexion avec l'élément correspondant et leur réser­vation 19 d'un décrochement 20, dans leur section circulaire, présentant une section transversale rectangulaire.To this end, said sockets and plugs are provided between their connection surface with the corresponding element and their reservation 19 with a recess 20, in their circular section, having a rectangular cross section.

Les supports 2 de douilles ou de fiches sont pourvus, dans leur partie destinée à se placer à l'intérieur du connecteur, d'une fente radiale 21 à travers laquelle passe les fiches ou les douilles et plus particulièrement dans laquelle sont préposi­tionnés les décrochements 20 des douilles ou des fiches.The supports 2 for sockets or plugs are provided, in their part intended to be placed inside the connector, with a radial slot 21 through which the plugs or sockets pass and more particularly in which the recesses 20 are prepositioned sockets or plugs.

Dans la fente radiale 21 est destiné à se placer un tiroir 22 de forme et d'épaisseur correspondant à la forme et à l'épaisseur de la fente 21 et doté d'entailles 23 dans lesquelles viennent se placer les décrochements 20 des fiches ou des douilles.In the radial slot 21 is intended to place a drawer 22 of shape and thickness corresponding to the shape and thickness of the slot 21 and provided with notches 23 in which are placed the recesses 20 of the plugs or sockets.

La largeur des entailles 23 est sensiblement égale à la largeur de la section transversale des décrochements 20.The width of the notches 23 is substantially equal to the width of the cross section of the recesses 20.

Ainsi les fiches et les douilles sont positionnées et bloquées dans le suport 2 tant en rotation qu'en translation.Thus the plugs and sockets are positioned and locked in the support 2 both in rotation and in translation.

Le positionnement longitudinal des pièces de contact les unes par rapport aux autres peut être réalisé par des entailles 23 dotées d'épaulements décalés dans l'épaisseur du tiroir 22.
Le dit tiroir est bloqué radialement sur le support 2 lors de la mise en place de ce dernier dans le corps 1 du connecteur.
Le tiroir 22 est facilement démontable afin de permettre le changement des pièces de contact 3 qui ne sont plus collées dans leur support 2.The longitudinal positioning of the contact parts with respect to each other can be achieved by notches 23 provided with shoulders offset in the thickness of the drawer 22.
Said drawer is locked radially on the support 2 when the latter is placed in the body 1 of the connector.
The drawer 22 is easily removable in order to allow the change of the contact parts 3 which are no longer glued in their support 2.

Le connecteur selon l'invention comporte dans le corps 1 au moins une ouverture radiale 25 ménagée entre la portion recevant le support 2 de pièces de contact 3 et la partie arrière rece­vant le capot arrière de façon que les extrémités arrières des pièces de contact 3 soient accessibles, au moins un capot amovible 26 destiné à obturer une ouverture 25 et à définir au moins une chambre de branchement 1A à l'arrière du support 2 et au moins un moyen de blocage en position de fermeture du ou des capots 26 dans leur ouverture 25.The connector according to the invention comprises in the body 1 at least one radial opening 25 formed between the portion receiving the support 2 of contact parts 3 and the rear part receiving the rear cover so that the rear ends of the contact parts 3 are accessible, at least one removable cover 26 intended to close an opening 25 and to define at least one connection chamber 1A at the rear of the support 2 and at least one locking means in the closed position of the cover (s) 26 in their opening 25.

Préférentiellement, le connecteur selon l'invention est doté d'une seule ouverture radiale 25 et d'un seul capot 26.Preferably, the connector according to the invention has a single radial opening 25 and a single cover 26.

La dite ouverture radiale est ménagée à l'avant du corps 1 à partir d'un plan transversal à l'axe longitudinal médian du dit corps et sécant de la portion avant du corps 1 recevant le support 2 des pièces de contact.
Ce plan radial est avantageusement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal médian du corps 1.Said radial opening is formed at the front of the body 1 from a plane transverse to the median longitudinal axis of the said body and secant of the front portion of the body 1 receiving the support 2 of the contact parts.
This radial plane is advantageously perpendicular to the median longitudinal axis of the body 1.

Préférentiellement, ce plan transversal est ménagé de façon qu'une portion de la partie arrière du support 2, sans considérer la patte 8, débouche dans l'ouverture 25.Preferably, this transverse plane is arranged so that a portion of the rear part of the support 2, without considering the tab 8, opens into the opening 25.

La dite ouverture radiale est ménagée en regard de l'ergot 10 et de l'empreinte 11 recevant la patte 8 du support 2.Said radial opening is provided opposite the lug 10 and the imprint 11 receiving the tab 8 of the support 2.

Latéralement, l'ouverture 25 est délimitée par un plan axial sécant de la section intérieure du corps.
Ce plan axial délimitant l'ouverture 25 latéralement est ménagé à proximité de l'axe longitudinal central du corps de façon à ménager une ouverture suffisamment grande.Laterally, the opening 25 is delimited by an axial plane intersecting with the internal section of the body.
This axial plane delimiting the opening 25 laterally is formed near the central longitudinal axis of the body so as to provide a sufficiently large opening.

Pour des raisons qui seront expliquées plus avant le plan transversal délimitant la partie avant de l'ouverture 25 est sécant de l'axe longitudinal médian du corps 1 et le plan axial délimitant latéralement la dite ouverture est sécant à ce plan transversal.
La partie arrière de l'ouverture 25 peut être définie par un plan transversal sensiblement parallèle à celui délimitant la partie avant de l'ouverture.For reasons which will be explained further on, the transverse plane delimiting the front part of the opening 25 is intersecting with the median longitudinal axis of the body 1 and the axial plane delimiting laterally said opening is intersecting with this transverse plane.
The rear part of the opening 25 can be defined by a transverse plane substantially parallel to that delimiting the front part of the opening.

Suivant une autre forme de réalisation telle que représentée en figures 1 et 2 la partie arrière de l'ouverture est délimitée suivant un plan en portion de cylindre dont l'axe de révolution est perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du corps 1 pour des raisons qui seront expliquées plus avant.According to another embodiment as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rear part of the opening is delimited along a plane in portion of a cylinder whose axis of revolution is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body 1 for reasons which will be explained later.

Ainsi lorsque le support 2 des pièces de contact 3 est placé dans le corps 1 les extrémités arrières des dites pièces sont accessibles par l'ouverture 25.Thus when the support 2 of the contact parts 3 is placed in the body 1, the rear ends of said parts are accessible through the opening 25.

Le câble dont les fils conducteurs doivent être fixés sur ces pièces de contact 3 passe par l'arrière du corps 1.
L'utilisateur peut donc facilement effectuer les soudures des fils sur les extrémités des pièces de contact 3 à partir de l'ouverture 25.The cable, the conductive wires of which must be fixed to these contact parts 3, passes through the rear of the body 1.
The user can therefore easily carry out the welding of the wires on the ends of the contact parts 3 from the opening 25.

Il va de soi que la réservation 19 des pièces de contact 3 sont orientées vers l'ouverture 25 et vers l'opérateur pour pouvoir aisément y effectuer les soudures.It goes without saying that the reservation 19 of the contact parts 3 are oriented towards the opening 25 and towards the operator in order to be able to easily carry out the welds therein.

La dite ouverture est obturée par le capot amovible 26.
Ce capot présente une forme identique à celle de l'ouverture 25 et ses parois extérieures sont de préférence alignées avec les parois extérieures du corps 1 lorsqu'il est en place sur ce dernier pour obturer l'ouverture 25.
Le capot 26 présente la même hauteur que celle de l'ouverture.Said opening is closed by the removable cover 26.
This cover has a shape identical to that of the opening 25 and its outer walls are preferably aligned with the outer walls of the body 1 when it is in place on the latter to close the opening 25.
The cover 26 has the same height as that of the opening.

La section intérieure du corps 1 est circulaire et dans l'ouver­ture 25 débouche la partie arrière circulaire du support 2.
Le capot 26 présente une section semi-circulaire poursuivie de part et d'autre de segments de droite afin de pouvoir être placé sur le corps 1 et définir avec lui la chambre de branche­ment 1A et chevaucher la partie arrière du support 2.The internal section of the body 1 is circular and in the opening 25 opens the circular rear part of the support 2.
The cover 26 has a semi-circular section continued on either side of straight segments so that it can be placed on the body 1 and define with it the connection chamber 1A and overlap the rear part of the support 2.

Selon une forme préférentielle de réalisation, la section trans­versale extérieure du corps 1 est hexagonale et les parois extérieures du capot 26 sont alignées avec celles du dit corps.According to a preferred embodiment, the external cross section of the body 1 is hexagonal and the external walls of the cover 26 are aligned with those of said body.

La hauteur du capot et de l'ouverture 25 est supérieure à la demi-hauteur du corps 1 afin que le dit capot présente des surfaces de préhension suffisamment grandes pour ne pas glisser lors de son retrait par l'utilisateur.The height of the cover and of the opening 25 is greater than the half-height of the body 1 so that the said cover has gripping surfaces large enough to not slip when it is removed by the user.

Cependant, il va de soi que la hauteur du capot 26 et de l'ou­verture n'est pas limitée à celle énoncée dans la mesure où la surface d'ouverture est suffisamment importante pour pouvoir effectuer les opérations de soudure.However, it goes without saying that the height of the cover 26 and of the opening is not limited to that stated in so far as the opening surface is large enough to be able to carry out the welding operations.

Le capot 26 vient donc se placer dans l'ouverture 25 et est calé longitudinalement entre les bords radiaux de celle-ci, repose sur les bords axiaux de la dite ouverture et est calé transver­salement par son chevauchement de la partie arrière du support 2 des pièces de contact 3.The cover 26 is therefore placed in the opening 25 and is wedged longitudinally between the radial edges of the latter, rests on the axial edges of said opening and is wedged transversely by its overlapping of the rear part of the support 2 of the parts contact 3.

Le connecteur selon l'invention est doté d'au moins un moyen de blocage en position de fermeture du capot 26 dans l'ouverture 25.
Ce moyen de blocage est constitué par le capot arrière 5 venant recouvrir la partie arrière du capot 26 de fermeture.The connector according to the invention is provided with at least one locking means in the closed position of the cover 26 in the opening 25.
This locking means is constituted by the rear cover 5 covering the rear part of the cover 26 for closing.

La partie arrière du corps 1 du connecteur est dotée d'une por­tion cylindrique filetée 27 sur laquelle vient se visser le capot arrière 5 doté pour se faire d'un taraudage.
En avant de la partie filetée, le corps 1 est dotée d'un décrochement 28 par rapport au filetage 27 et aux parois extérieures du corps 1.The rear part of the body 1 of the connector is provided with a threaded cylindrical portion 27 onto which the rear cover 5 is screwed, which is provided for tapping.
In front of the threaded part, the body 1 is provided with a recess 28 relative to the thread 27 and to the outer walls of the body 1.

Ce décrochement 28 est également présent sur la surface exté­rieure de l'extrémité arrière du capot 26.
Le capot arrière 5 vient bloquer ce dernier en se vissant sur le filetage 27 de façon que sa partie avant soit disposée au dessus de l'extrémité arrière du capot 26.This recess 28 is also present on the outer surface of the rear end of the cover 26.
The rear cover 5 blocks the latter by screwing onto the thread 27 so that its front part is disposed above the rear end of the cover 26.

Ainsi ce dernier est bloqué sur le corps 1 et dans l'ouverture 25 par sa partie arrière.Thus the latter is blocked on the body 1 and in the opening 25 by its rear part.

Toutefois, ce blocage à l'arrière peut s'avérer insuffisant dans le cas où le capot arrière 5 n'est pas suffisamment vissé.However, this blocking at the rear may prove to be insufficient in the case where the rear cover 5 is not sufficiently screwed.

Aussi, le connecteur selon l'invention est avantageusement doté d'un autre moyen de blocage du capot 26 dans l'ouverture 25. Cet autre moyen de blocage tel que représenté en figures 1 et 2 est constitué par un doigt 29 solidaire de la partie avant du capot 26, disposé sur la surface intérieure du dit capot destiné à venir chevaucher la partie arrière du support 2 et orienté axialement en saillie vers l'avant et par un logement 30 ménagé dans la surface extérieure du support 2 des pièces de contact, destiné à recevoir le doigt 29 solidaire du capot 26 et étant recouvert en partie par le corps 1 du connecteur.Also, the connector according to the invention is advantageously provided with other means for blocking the cover 26 in the opening 25. This other blocking means as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is constituted by a finger 29 integral with the part front of the cover 26, disposed on the interior surface of the said cover intended to overlap the rear part of the support 2 and oriented axially projecting forward and through a housing 30 formed in the exterior surface of the support 2 for the contact parts, intended to receive the finger 29 integral with the cover 26 and being partially covered by the body 1 of the connector.

Le doigt 29 du capot 26 est introduit dans le logement 30, qui présente une partie accessible depuis l'ouverture 25, en soule­vant vers l'arrière le dit capot puis ce dernier est ramené dans l'ouverture 25 par rotation par rapport à un point de rotation constitué par l'appui de la partie avant du capot sur le bord avant de l'ouverture 25.
A cet effet, la partie arrière de l'ouverture 25 est arrondie comme énoncé précédemment.The finger 29 of the cover 26 is introduced into the housing 30, which has a part accessible from the opening 25, by lifting the said cover towards the rear, then the latter is brought back into the opening 25 by rotation relative to a point. of rotation constituted by the support of the front part of the cover on the front edge of the opening 25.
To this end, the rear part of the opening 25 is rounded as previously stated.

De plus, l'arrière du doigt 29 est arrondi afin de permettre la rotation du capot 26 et la rotation du dit doigt dans le loge­ment 30.
Ce dernier peut également comporter une partie arrondie avec laquelle coopère celle du doigt 29.In addition, the rear of the finger 29 is rounded in order to allow the rotation of the cover 26 and the rotation of the said finger in the housing 30.
The latter may also include a rounded part with which that of the finger 29 cooperates.

Lorsque le doigt 29 est en position dans le logement 30 du sup­port 2, le capot 26 est bloqué sur sa partie avant et peut être verrouillé en position par le vissage du capot arrière 5 sur le filetage 27.When the finger 29 is in position in the housing 30 of the support 2, the cover 26 is locked on its front part and can be locked in position by screwing the rear cover 5 onto the thread 27.

Le doigt 29 du capot 26 assure, également et communément à l'er­got 10, le blocage en rotation et en translation axiale du sup­port 2 des pièces de contact 3 sur le corps 1 du conducteur selon l'invention.The finger 29 of the cover 26 also, and commonly to the lug 10, blocks in rotation and in axial translation of the support 2 of the contact parts 3 on the body 1 of the conductor according to the invention.

De façon connue, à l'arrière du connecteur selon l'invention sont montés le dispositif serre-câble 4 et le guide câble 6 à travers lesquels passe le câble.In known manner, at the rear of the connector according to the invention are mounted the cable clamp device 4 and the cable guide 6 through which the cable passes.

Selon une forme préférentielle représentée en figure 1, le dispositif serre-câble 4 et guide-câble 6 sont solidaires et constituent une seule et même pièce montée à l'arrière du connecteur.According to a preferred form shown in Figure 1, the cable clamp device 4 and cable guide 6 are integral and constitute a single piece mounted on the rear of the connector.

Le dispositif serre-câble 4 est connu du brevet 2 568 418 du même demandeur et est doté de deux ailes 4A dont les faces de serrage 4B sont espacées, parallèles et dotées chacune d'une forme en portion de cylindre dans lesquelles le câble est maintenu.The cable clamp device 4 is known from patent 2,568,418 by the same applicant and is provided with two wings 4A whose clamping faces 4B are spaced, parallel and each provided with a cylinder-shaped portion in which the cable is held .

Ces ailes 4A au dos des faces de serrage 4B sont pourvues d'une surface 4C de blocage en rotation et de glissement destinée à venir en contact chacune avec une surface plane 31 et inclinée ménagée dans la partie arrière du corps 1 du connecteur.These wings 4A on the back of the clamping faces 4B are provided with a surface 4C for locking in rotation and for sliding intended to come into contact each with a flat and inclined surface 31 formed in the rear part of the body 1 of the connector.

L'inclinaison de la surface 31 et des surfaces 4C de blocage en rotation et de glissement sont sensiblement identiques.The inclination of the surface 31 and of the surfaces 4C for blocking rotation and sliding are substantially identical.

Ces surfaces 31 planes et inclinées sont réalisées sur une longueur sensiblement égale à celle du filetage 27.
Ces surfaces planes 31 forment entre elles un tronc de pyramide à base carrée et dont le sommet est disposé en avant sur le corps par rapport à elles et sur l'axe longitudinal médian du dit corps.These flat and inclined surfaces 31 are produced over a length substantially equal to that of the thread 27.
These flat surfaces 31 form between them a trunk of a pyramid with a square base and the apex of which is disposed forward on the body with respect to them and on the median longitudinal axis of said body.

Les ailes 4A de serrage du dispositif serre-câble 4 sont solida­risées entre elles par une bague cylindrique 32 dont la surface intérieure est alignée avec la forme ménagée sur chacune des faces de serrage 4B.The clamping wings 4A of the cable clamp device 4 are joined together by a cylindrical ring 32 whose inner surface is aligned with the shape formed on each of the clamping faces 4B.

Le dispositif de serre-câble selon l'invention est solidaire du guide câble 6 par la bague cylindrique 32 qui se poursuit en arrière des ailes de serrage 4A.The cable clamp device according to the invention is integral with the cable guide 6 by the cylindrical ring 32 which continues behind the clamping wings 4A.

Le guide-câble 6 est constitué par des ailettes 33 élastiques disposées suivant des rayons selon un cylindre de diamètre égal au diamètre intérieur de la bague cylindrique 32.
Ces ailettes 33 sont solidarisées par la dite bague.The cable guide 6 is constituted by elastic fins 33 arranged along spokes according to a cylinder of diameter equal to the inside diameter of the cylindrical ring 32.
These fins 33 are secured by said ring.

Le câble est introduit entre les ailettes 33 élastiques puis dans la bague 32 puis entre les ailes de serrage 4A du disposi­tif serre-câble 4.
Ce dernier et le guide câble 6 sont montés dans le capot arrière 5 de façon à être solidaire de celui-ci.
A cet effet, les ailettes 33 ont une face extérieure inclinée.The cable is introduced between the elastic fins 33 then in the ring 32 then between the clamping wings 4A of the cable clamp device 4.
The latter and the cable guide 6 are mounted in the rear cover 5 so as to be integral with the latter.
To this end, the fins 33 have an inclined outer face.

Suivant une autre forme de réalisation, le guide-câble 6 peut ne pas comporter d'ailettes 33 mais simplement un manchon de forme conique et en une matière suffisamment souple pour être mis en place sur le capot arrière.According to another embodiment, the cable guide 6 may not include fins 33 but simply a sleeve of conical shape and made of a material sufficiently flexible to be placed on the rear cover.

Le capot arrière 5 présente en arrière de sa portion cylindrique taraudée destinée à se visser sur le filetage 27 du corps 1, une surface conique 5A dont le sommet est en arrière du capot 5 et sur l'axe longitudinal médian de celui-ci et une colerette 5B radiale.
La colerette 5B est destinée à être placée entre le guide câble 6 et le dispositif serre-câble 4.The rear cover 5 has behind its tapped cylindrical portion intended to be screwed onto the thread 27 of the body 1, a conical surface 5A the apex of which is behind the cover 5 and on the median longitudinal axis thereof and a 5B radial collar.
The flange 5B is intended to be placed between the cable guide 6 and the cable clamp device 4.

A cet effet, le guide câble 6 est introduit dans le capot 5 et l'inclinaison des ailettes 33 et leur élasticité permet de posi­tionner la colerette 5B entre le guide câble 6, se trouvant dès lors à l'extérieur et en arrière du capot 5, et le dispositif serre-câble 4.For this purpose, the cable guide 6 is introduced into the cover 5 and the inclination of the fins 33 and their elasticity makes it possible to position the flange 5B between the cable guide 6, being therefore located outside and behind the cover 5 , and the cable clamp device 4.

L'ensemble guide-câble 6 et serre-câble 4 est maintenu libre en rotation dans le capot arrière 5 et un léger jeu en translation axiale est également maintenu.The cable guide 6 and cable clamp 4 assembly is kept free to rotate in the rear cover 5 and a slight play in axial translation is also maintained.

Lors du vissage du capot arrière 5 sur le filetage 27 du corps 1 les surfaces de blocage en rotation et de glissement 4C des ailes de serrage 4B, préalablement positionnées, glissent sur les surfaces 31 inclinées ce qui provoque le serrage l'une vers l'autre des ailes 4A.When the rear cover 5 is screwed onto the thread 27 of the body 1 the surfaces for blocking in rotation and sliding 4C of the clamping wings 4B, previously positioned, slide on the inclined surfaces 31 which causes the tightening one towards the other of wings 4A.

Le serre-câble 4 étant libre en rotation par rapport au capot 5 arrière, aucun effet de torsion ne s'exerce sur les ailes 4A.The cable clamp 4 being free to rotate relative to the rear cover 5, no torsional effect is exerted on the wings 4A.

Le dispositif serre-câble est maintenu bloqué en translation lors du vissage du capot 5 par son appui contre la surface conique 5A du dit capot.The cable clamp device is kept locked in translation when the cover 5 is screwed by its support against the conical surface 5A of said cover.

Pour effectuer le montage d'un câble sur le connecteur selon l'invention, le capot arrière 5 est dévissé en partie du corps 1 afin d'une part de provoquer l'écartement des ailes de serrage 4A du dispositif serre-câble 4 et d'autre part de permettre le retrait du capot amovible 26 de l'ouverture 25.To mount a cable on the connector according to the invention, the rear cover 5 is partially unscrewed from the body 1 in order on the one hand to cause the spacing of the clamping wings 4A of the cable clamp device 4 and d on the other hand to allow the removable cover 26 to be removed from the opening 25.

Lorsque le capot arrière est suffisamment dévissé le câble pénè­tre dans le corps 1 en passant par le guide câble et le serre-­câble et les soudures ou sertissages des conducteurs du câble sur les pièces de contact peuvent se faire aisément par l'ouver­ture 25 du corps 1.When the rear cover is sufficiently unscrewed, the cable enters the body 1 via the cable guide and the cable clamp and the soldering or crimping of the cable conductors on the contact parts can be easily made through the opening 25 of the body. 1.

Lorsque les soudures sont réalisées, le dit capot amovile 26 est remis en place dans l'ouverture 25 et est bloqué par le vissage du capot arrière 5.
Ce dernier par son vissage assure également l'actionnement du dispositif serre-câble 4 qui donc serre le câble tout en le poussant vers l'avant du corps du connecteur.When the welds are made, said removable cover 26 is replaced in the opening 25 and is blocked by the screwing of the rear cover 5.
The latter by its screwing also ensures the actuation of the cable clamp device 4 which therefore clamps the cable while pushing it towards the front of the connector body.

Ainsi le branchement des conducteurs est réalisé sans séparer aucune pièce du connecteur hormis le capot amovible 26, ce qui élimine tout risque d'erreur dans le remontage et tout oubli.Thus the connection of the conductors is carried out without separating any part of the connector except the removable cover 26, which eliminates any risk of error in reassembly and any oversight.

De façon connue le connecteur selon l'invention est doté de moyens de verrouillage en connexion sur un appareil électrique ou sur un connecteur de type complémentaire.In known manner, the connector according to the invention is provided with locking means in connection with an electrical device or on a connector of the complementary type.

Ces moyens de verrouillage sont constitués par un crochet 35 disposé en avant du corps 1 d'un connecteur de type femelle et par un poussoir 36 solidaire du crochet 35 et monté sur le corps 1 du dit connecteur et par un organe élastique 37 destiné à maintenir le poussoir 36 et le crochet 35 en position initiale.These locking means consist of a hook 35 disposed in front of the body 1 of a female type connector and by a pusher 36 secured to the hook 35 and mounted on the body 1 of said connector and by an elastic member 37 intended to hold the pusher 36 and the hook 35 in the initial position.

Le crochet 35 est destiné à venir pénétrer dans une lumière 38 réalisée sur l'appareil à connecter ou sur le corps 1 du connec­teur du type mâle lors de la connexion.The hook 35 is intended to come into a lumen 38 made on the device to be connected or on the body 1 of the connector of the male type during connection.

Le crochet 35 et le poussoir 36 sont portés par une même platine 39 et sont placés dans un lamage 40 ménagé dans la surface exté­rieure du support 2 de douilles de façon axiale de part et d'autre de la colerette 12 et diamétralement opposé au logement 30 recevant le doigt 29 du capot amovible 26.The hook 35 and the pusher 36 are carried by the same plate 39 and are placed in a counterbore 40 formed in the external surface of the socket support 2 axially on either side of the flange 12 and diametrically opposite the housing 30 receiving the finger 29 from the removable cover 26.

Le ressort 37 est placé sous la platine 39 et s'appuie dans le fond du lamage 40.The spring 37 is placed under the plate 39 and is supported in the bottom of the counterbore 40.

Le crochet 35 est disposé en avant du corps 1 et fait saillie sur la surface extérieure circulaire du support 2 de pièces de contact 3.The hook 35 is disposed in front of the body 1 and projects from the circular external surface of the support 2 of contact parts 3.

Le corps 1 est doté dans sa partie avant d'un orifice 41 rece­vant le poussoir 36 qui fait saillie sur la surface extérieure du corps 1.
Cet orifice 41 est réalisé en retrait par rapport à l'extrémité avant du corps 1, ainsi le support 2 de pièces de contact 3 femelles est bloqué en translation et en rotation sur le corps 1 également par le logement du poussoir 36 dans l'orifice 41.
Le ressort 37 est constitué par une bande souple en arc de cercle dont les extrémités reposent dans le fond du lamage 40 du support 2.The body 1 is provided in its front part with an orifice 41 receiving the pusher 36 which projects on the external surface of the body 1.
This orifice 41 is produced in withdrawal with respect to the front end of the body 1, thus the support 2 of female contact parts 3 is blocked in translation and in rotation on the body 1 also by the housing of the pusher 36 in the orifice 41.
The spring 37 is constituted by a flexible strip in an arc, the ends of which rest in the bottom of the counterbore 40 of the support 2.

Lors d'une pression sur le poussoir 36 celui-ci s'enfonce dans le corps 1 en translation ainsi que le crochet 38 dans le support 2.When the pusher 36 is pressed, it plunges into the body 1 in translation, as does the hook 38 in the support 2.

Le ressort 37 ramène l'ensemble crochet 35, poussoir 36 en sail­lie sur le connecteur et suivant un mouvement de translation.The spring 37 brings the hook assembly 35, push-button 36 projecting from the connector and in a translational movement.

Le crochet 35 est incliné au dessus de la platine 39 du bas vers le haut et vers l'arrière par rapport au connecteur puis comporte une face transversale à la platine préférentiellement présentant un angle inférieur à 90° par rapport à la dite plati­ne afin d'assurer un bon verrouillage du connecteur dans la lumière 38.The hook 35 is inclined above the plate 39 from the bottom up and towards the rear relative to the connector and then has a transverse face to the plate preferably having an angle less than 90 ° relative to said plate in order to ensure proper locking of the connector in the light 38.

Avantageusement le crochet 35 présente une section transversale en arc de cercle de rayon sensiblement égal au rayon intérieur du corps portant le support de pièces de contact mâles afin que lors de la connexion il y ait toujours une génératrice en arc de cercle au contact avec la surface intérieure du dit corps portant le support de pièces de contact mâles dans le but de limiter la déterioration du dit crochet et du corps.Advantageously, the hook 35 has a cross section in an arc of a circle of radius substantially equal to the internal radius of the body carrying the support of male contact pieces so that during connection there is always a generator in an arc of circle in contact with the surface. interior of said body carrying the support of male contact parts in order to limit the deterioration of said hook and the body.

Entre le crochet 35 et le poussoir 36 est ménagée un bossage 42 en arc de cercle destiné à venir s'aligner avec la colerette 12 du support 2 de douilles.Between the hook 35 and the pusher 36 is formed a boss 42 in an arc intended to come into alignment with the flange 12 of the support 2 of sockets.

Entre ce bossage 42 et le poussoir 36 est ménagé une butée 43 en arc de cercle destinée à venir en contact avec la surface intérieure du corps 1 entre l'orifice 41 de passage du poussoir 36 et l'extrémité avant du corps 1.Between this boss 42 and the pusher 36 is formed a stop 43 in an arc of a circle intended to come into contact with the internal surface of the body 1 between the orifice 41 for passage of the pusher 36 and the front end of the body 1.

Lors de la connexion du connecteur femelle l'enfoncement du support 2 de douille dans le corps doté du support de pièces de contact mâles provoque l'effacement du crochet 35 en raison du contact du corps avec sa face inclinée, le dit crochet étant ramené en position initiale par le ressort 37 lorsqu'il se trouve en regard de la lumière 38 du corps.When connecting the female connector, the insertion of the socket support 2 into the body provided with the support of male contact parts causes the erasing of the hook 35 due to the contact of the body with its inclined face, the said hook being brought back in initial position by the spring 37 when it is opposite the lumen 38 of the body.

Pour la déconnexion l'utilisateur exerce une pression sur le poussoir pour libérer le crochet 35 de la lumière puis une trac­tion axiale du connecteur.For disconnection the user exerts pressure on the pusher to release the hook 35 from the light and then an axial pull of the connector.

Le connecteur selon l'invention peut être du type multipolaire ou bien du type à une seule broche et du type mâle ou femelle ou bien encore hermaphrodite.The connector according to the invention can be of the multipolar type or else of the type with a single pin and of the male or female type or even hermaphrodite.

La section transversale extérieure du connecteur est de préfé­rence polygonale de façon à faciliter le serrage des pièces devant coopérer en vissage et de façon à permettre sa stabilité lorsqu'il repose sur des surfaces inclinées.The external cross section of the connector is preferably polygonal so as to facilitate the tightening of the parts which must cooperate in screwing and so as to allow its stability when it rests on inclined surfaces.

Il va de soi que cette section transversale extérieure peut être modifiée sans que cela modifie les caractéristiques essentiel­les du connecteur.
Le connecteur selon l'invention permet d'éviter son démontage pour le branchement des conducteurs, assure un très bon maintien du support de pièces de contact et offre un maniement simple et aisé.It goes without saying that this external cross section can be modified without modifying the essential characteristics of the connector.
The connector according to the invention makes it possible to avoid its dismantling for the connection of the conductors, ensures a very good maintenance of the support of contact parts and offers a simple and easy handling.

La présente invention peut recevoir tous aménagements et toutes variantes dans le domaine des équivalents techniques sans pour autant sortir du cadre du présent brevet.The present invention can receive all arrangements and all variants in the field of technical equivalents without departing from the scope of this patent.
