Abstract
Description
La présente invention vise un joint pour un connecteur étanche.The present invention relates to a seal for a waterproof connector.
L'invention se rapporte à un joint destiné à être utilisé avec des connecteurs comprenant un élément de boîtier femelle présentant une jupe destinée à recevoir un élément de boîtier mâle et dans laquelle s'étendent des broches destinées à coopérer avec des organes de connexions électriques femelles de l'élément de boîtier mâle, ledit joint étant monté dans la jupe et présentant des conduits traversés par les broches.The invention relates to a seal intended for use with connectors comprising a female housing element having a skirt intended to receive a male housing element and in which extend pins intended to cooperate with female electrical connection members. of the male housing element, said seal being mounted in the skirt and having conduits through which the pins pass.
L'un des buts de la présente invention est de réaliser un joint du type ci-dessus qui permette aux éléments de boîtier d'être accouplés et désaccouplés sans risque de diminuer son efficacité.One of the aims of the present invention is to produce a seal of the above type which allows the housing elements to be coupled and uncoupled without the risk of reducing its effectiveness.
Le joint, selon l'invention, est destiné à être utilisé avec des connecteurs électriques du type comprenant un élément de boîtier femelle présentant une jupe destinée à recevoir un élément de boîtier mâle, ledit élément de boîtier femelle comportant un élément isolant dans lequel sont logés des organes de connexions prolongés par des broches qui font saillie dans la jupe, tandis que l'élément de boîtier mâle est pourvu d'un prolongement s'insérant dans la jupe et dans lequel est fixé un corps isolant recevant des organes de connexions électriques femelles destinés à coopérer avec les broches, le joint étant du type en matière souple et élastique comprenant une embase avec des cheminées percées de conduits pour le passage des broches, ledit joint étant engagé dans la jupe pour porter, par son embase, contre l'élément isolant dudit élément de boîtier femelle, ledit joint étant caractérisé en ce que chaque conduit, en partant de l'embase, présente une première partie cylindrique prolongée par une partie en forme de tronc de cône renversé, elle-même prolongée par une partie en forme de tronc de cône, terminée par une seconde partie cylindrique, tandis que l'embase est bordée par un rebord au voisinage duquel, du côté opposé à l'embase, s'étend une lèvre périphérique.The seal according to the invention is intended to be used with electrical connectors of the type comprising a female housing element having a skirt intended to receive a male housing element, said female housing element comprising an insulating element in which are housed connecting members extended by pins which protrude into the skirt, while the male housing element is provided with an extension fitting into the skirt and in which is fixed an insulating body receiving female electrical connecting members intended to cooperate with the pins, the seal being of the type made of flexible and elastic material comprising a base with chimneys pierced with conduits for the passage of the pins, said seal being engaged in the skirt to bear, by its base, against the element insulator of said female housing element, said seal being characterized in that each conduit, starting from the base, pr feel a first cylindrical part extended by a shaped portion of a reversed truncated cone, itself extended by a part in the form of a truncated cone, terminated by a second cylindrical part, while the base is bordered by a rim in the vicinity of which, on the side opposite to the base, extends a peripheral lip.
Grâce à cette disposition, lorsqu'on assemble les deux éléments de boîtier, l'élément mâle tend à pousser la lèvre périphérique contre la paroi interne de la jupe, tandis que chaque cheminée est légèrement déformée pour être comprimée vers l'embase. Ainsi, on réalise une étanchéité, d'une part autour des broches et, d'autre part, le long de la jupe.Thanks to this arrangement, when the two housing elements are assembled, the male element tends to push the peripheral lip against the internal wall of the skirt, while each chimney is slightly deformed to be compressed towards the base. Thus, a seal is produced, on the one hand around the pins and, on the other hand, along the skirt.
Un autre avantage de l'invention est que le joint ne constitue par un frein obligeant à augmenter la force d'insertion de l'élément de boîtier mâle dans l'élément de boîtier femelle.Another advantage of the invention is that the seal does not constitute a brake forcing the insertion force of the male housing element to be increased in the female housing element.
Suivant un détail particulier, la première partie cylindrique a un diamètre légèrement inférieur à celui des broches.According to a particular detail, the first cylindrical part has a diameter slightly smaller than that of the pins.
Enfin, la seconde partie cylindrique a un diamètre supérieur à celui des broches.Finally, the second cylindrical part has a diameter greater than that of the pins.
L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment given by way of example only and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 est une vue en plan d'un joint, selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a plan view of a joint according to the invention.
Figure 2 est une vue en coupe à plus grande échelle, selon la ligne 2-2 de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a sectional view on a larger scale, along line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 montre en coupe un boîtier de connexions électriques muni d'un joint, selon l'invention, en position démontée.Figure 3 shows in section an electrical connection box provided with a seal, according to the invention, in the disassembled position.
Figure 4 est une vue en coupe du boîtier de connexions électriques de la figure 3 en position montée.Figure 4 is a sectional view of the electrical connection box of Figure 3 in the mounted position.
Figure 5 est une vue d'un détail à plus grande échelle.Figure 5 is a view of a detail on a larger scale.
Le joint représenté aux figures 1 et 2 est réalisé en une matière souple et élastique et présente une embase 1, un rebord périphérique 2 et une série de cheminées 5.The seal shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is made of a flexible and elastic material and has a
Chaque cheminée comporte un conduit 3 qui, au voisinage de l'embase 1, présente une première partie cylindrique 3a raccordée du côté opposé à l'embase 1 à une partie tronconique renversée 3b dont la grande base est elle-même raccordée à une partie tronconique 3c terminée par une seconde partie cylindrique 3d.Each chimney has a
Le diamètre de la partie 3a est légèrement inférieur à celui de la partie 3d.The diameter of
Enfin le joint comporte, au-dessus du rebord périphérique, une lèvre continue 4.Finally, the seal includes, above the peripheral rim, a continuous lip 4.
Les figures 3, 4 et 5 montrent un connecteur destiné à recevoir un joint, selon l'invention.Figures 3, 4 and 5 show a connector for receiving a seal, according to the invention.
Le connecteur comprend un premier élément de boîtier femelle 10 comprenant une enveloppe métallique 11 prolongée, d'un côté, par une jupe 12.The connector comprises a first
Dans l'enveloppe 11 est logé un élément isolant 13 supportant une série d'organes de connexions électriques 17 reliés à des conducteurs électriques et prolongés par des broches 14.In the
L'extrémité de l'élément 10, opposée à la jupe, est remplie, soit d'une colle, soit d'une résine 16 qui ferme d'une manière étanche l'élément 10 en incluant les conducteurs 15.The end of the
Le joint est monté dans la jupe 12 de manière que sa base 1 coopère avec la face correspondante 13a de l'élément isolant 13, une mince couche de colle étant appliquée sur cette face.The seal is mounted in the
Les parties 3a des conduits 3 ont un diamètre légèrement inférieur au diamètre des broches 14, tandis que les parties 3d ont un diamètre supérieur à celui desdites broches.The
L'élément de boîtier femelle 10 présente, à chaque extrémité (voir figure 5), un écrou 18 pour sa fixation avec un élément de boîtier mâle 20.The
L'élément de boîtier mâle 20 comprend une enveloppe métallique 21 présentant un prolongement 22 destiné à s'insérer dans la jupe 12 et dans lequel est monté un corps isolant 24 dans lequel sont logés et fixés des organes femelles de connexions électriques 25 destinés à recevoir, chacun, une broche 14. Chaque organe 25 est relié à un conducteur (non représenté).The
L'élément de boîtier mâle 20, du côté opposé au prolongement 22, est fermé par une colle ou une résine 27.The
L'élément de boîtier mâle 20 comporte, à chaque extrémité, une vis prisonnière 28 (voir figure 5) destinée à se visser dans l'écrou 18 afin d'assurer l'assemblage des deux éléments de boîtier.The
Comme on le voit à la figure 4 lorsque les deux éléments de boîtier 10 et 20 sont assemblés, le bord du prolongement 22 porte contre la lèvre 4 et tend ainsi à appliquer la lèvre 4 contre la surface interne de la jupe 12.As can be seen in FIG. 4 when the two
Comme le joint est souple et élastique, il se produit également un léger écrasement de sorte que le rebord 2 vient également épouser la paroi interne de la jupe.As the joint is flexible and elastic, there is also a slight crushing so that the
L'extrémité libre du corps isolant 24 vient porter contre le bord des conduits 3 opposés à la base et tend ainsi à légèrement écraser le joint afin que les parties 3d, en coulissant légèrement sur les broches, enserrent celles-ci.The free end of the
Grâce à ces différentes dispositions, on obtient une parfaite étanchéité au droit des broches 14 ainsi qu'à la périphérie interne de la jupe 12.Thanks to these various arrangements, a perfect seal is obtained at the level of the
Les éléments de boîtier peuvent être accouplés ou désaccouplés de nombreuses fois sans risque pour le joint.The housing elements can be coupled or uncoupled many times without risk to the seal.
De plus, compte tenu de la conception du joint, l'accouplement des éléments de boîtier ne nécessite pas d'efforts d'insertion importants.In addition, given the design of the seal, the coupling of the housing elements does not require significant insertion efforts.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and shown. Many detailed modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
