Description
La présente invention concerne un connecteur électrique pouvant être utilisé notamment dans un dispositif d'allumage pyrotechnique d'un sac gonflable de protection d'un conducteur ou d'un passager de véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to an electrical connector that can be used in particular in a device for pyrotechnic ignition of an airbag for protecting a driver or passenger of a motor vehicle.

Dans ce genre de connecteur connu, pour protéger le personnel effectuant le branchement des deux boîtiers du connecteur, il est nécessaire de procéder à un ordre de branchement des phases de liaison électrique en assurant une mise à la masse de l'une des liaisons électriques avant que les autres liaisons ou phases du connecteur soient effectuées. A cet effet, l'une privilégiée des broches de contact 3 (broche de masse) a une longueur supérieure à celle des autres broches de contact 3. Ainsi, lors du rapprochement des deux boîtiers 1, 2, la broche de plus grande longueur 3 atteint la première le corps du boîtier 1 et établit la première liaison électrique avec l'élément formant douille correspondant 4 du boîtier 1, la longueur de cet élément formant douille étant bien entendu également supérieure à la longueur des autres éléments formant douille 4. Ensuite, les autres broches standards 3 du boîtier 2 viennent en contact électrique avec leurs éléments formant douilles correspondants 4 pendant que la broche privilégiée de plus grande longueur 3 continue sa course dans son élément formant douille correspondant 4. Lorsque le boîtier 1 est complètement enfoncé dans le boîtier 2, les liaisons électriques entre les broches 3 et les éléments formant douilles respectifs 4 sont assurées. Lors du débranchement des deux boîtiers 1, 2 du connecteur électrique, les opérations se déroulent en sens inverse à celles mentionnées ci-dessus lors du branchement et la phase privilégiée est effectivement débranchée en dernier.In this type of known connector, to protect the personnel performing the connection of the two housings of the connector, it is necessary to proceed to a connection order of the electrical connection phases by ensuring a grounding of one of the front electrical connections other connections or phases of the connector are made. For this purpose, the preferred one of the contact pins 3 (ground pin) has a length greater than that of the
Cependant, cette solution connue présente les inconvénients de nécessiter un connecteur électrique spécial et, de plus, si un courant important est coupé ou établi lors du branchement ou du débranchement des deux boîtiers du connecteur, la partie active de contact de la broche à travers laquelle circule ce courant peut être endommagée par l'arc électrique résultant.However, this known solution has the disadvantages of requiring a special electrical connector and, moreover, if a large current is cut or established when connecting or disconnecting the two housings of the connector, the active contact part of the pin through which circulates this current can be damaged by the resulting electric arc.
Lors de l'assemblage l'un dans l'autre des deux boîtiers, des ergots de poussée appartenant à une bride de fixation solidaire latéralement du premier boîtier désengagent élastiquement et simultanément les lames de leur contact avec respectivement les douilles. De la sorte, la connexion à la masse ou à l'autre potentiel prédéterminé est interrompue lorsque les deux boîtiers du connecteur sont assemblés.When assembling one into the other of the two housings, thrust pins belonging to a fastening flange secured laterally of the first housing elastically and simultaneously disengage the blades from their contact with the bushings respectively. In this way, the connection to the ground or to the other predetermined potential is interrupted when the two housings of the connector are assembled.
Ce connecteur électrique connu a pour inconvénient de conduire à une structure extrêmement complexe et coûteuse du fait qu'il nécessite en particulier une bride de fixation solidaire d'une face externe du premier boîtier et pourvue d'ergots nécessaires pour désengager élastiquement les lames de leurs douilles respectives lors de l'enfichage du premier boîtier dans le second boîtier.This known electrical connector has the disadvantage of leading to an extremely complex and expensive structure because it requires in particular a fastening flange integral with an outer face of the first housing and provided with pins necessary to elastically disengage the blades of their respective bushings when inserting the first housing into the second housing.
La présente invention a pour but de palier aux inconvénients ci-dessus des connecteurs électriques connus en proposant un connecteur électrique comprenant les caractéristiques techniques telles qu'énoncées dans la revendication 1.The present invention aims to overcome the above disadvantages of known electrical connectors by providing an electrical connector comprising the technical features as set forth in

Selon l'invention, le connecteur électrique comprend en outre des moyens de mise en liaison anticipée agencés pour assurer tout d'abord une liaison électrique provisoire de préférence de la broche privilégiée 3 à l'élément formant douille correspondant 4 et ensuite interrompre la liaison électrique provisoire lorsque toutes les broches 3 viennent en contact électrique avec leurs éléments formant douilles respectifs 4.According to the invention, the electrical connector further comprises early connection means arranged to firstly provide a temporary electrical connection preferably of the preferred
Ces moyens font partie d'un shunt comprenant plusieurs doigts flexibles conducteurs 7, dans le cas présent au nombre de trois, logés dans le boîtier porte-broches 2 et reliés entre eux par une lamelle conductrice commune 8 s'étendant transversalement aux broches 3 et solidaire d'une partie de la paroi interne du boîtier 2 délimitant l'ouverture de réception du boîtier 1. Chaque doigt flexible 7 présente une partie antérieure convexe 7a partant de la lamelle conductrice 8 et se termine par une extrémité libre convexe 7b maintenue élastiquement en contact sur une broche correspondante 3 lorsque le boîtier porte-broches 2 est séparé du boîtier 1 comme représenté aux
Le boîtier 1 comporte une partie frontale en forme de bec la réalisée en bout de la paroi supérieure 1b solidaire du boîtier 1 et délimitant avec la paroi inférieure 1c solidaire de ce boîtier le logement spécifique de l'élément formant douille correspondant 4. Cette partie frontale 1a permet de soulever simultanément les doigts flexibles 7, sauf celui associé à la broche privilégiée 3, pour les désengager de leurs broches respectives 3 lorsque le doigt 7 de la broche privilégiée 3 est en contact avec l'élément formant douille correspondant 4. Par contre, la paroi supérieure solidaire du boîtier 1 délimitant le logement de l'élément formant douille 4 associé à la broche privilégiée 3 ne comporte pas de partie frontale supérieure comme représenté en

De plus, la paroi inférieure lc de chaque logement d'un élément formant douille 4 comporte une partie frontale en forme d'ergot qui, avec la partie frontale la en forme de bec, permet également le maintien de l'élément formant douille 4 dans son logement.The
Pour assurer un guidage relatif précis du boîtier 1 relativement au boîtier 2 pendant leur enfichage ou leur désolidarisation, l'un 2 des boîtiers comporte une pièce formant glissière 9 intégrée dans le boîtier 2 et dans laquelle peut coulisser une pièce formant coulisseau 10 solidaire du boîtier 1.To ensure precise relative guidance of the
Le fonctionnement du connecteur électrique de l'invention ressort déjà en partie de la description qui en a été faite ci-dessus et va être maintenant expliqué.The operation of the electrical connector of the invention is already apparent in part from the description which has been made above and will now be explained.
Le branchement des deux boîtiers 1, 2 du connecteur s'effectue en introduisant le boîtier 1 dans le boîtier 2, dont les déplacements relatifs sont précisément guidés par la pièce formant coulisseau 10 et la pièce formant glissière 9. Le rapprochement des deux boîtiers 1, 2 se traduit tout d'abord par l'établissement d'un premier contact électrique entre la forme proéminente 7a du doigt 7 de la broche privilégiée 3 et l'élément formant douille correspondant 4, cette liaison électrique primaire assurant donc immédiatement l'écoulement des charges d'électricité statique. Ensuite, la partie frontale la associée à chaque élément formant douille 4 provoque le soulèvement du doigt flexible correspondant 7 de façon à désengager son extrémité libre 7b de la broche correspondante 3 et interrompre ainsi la liaison électrique avec cette broche. Pendant cette période de branchement pendant laquelle la forme proéminente 7a du doigt 7 associé à la broche privilégiée 3 continue d'être en contact avec l'élément formant douille correspondant 4, les deux autres broches 3, c'est-à-dire les deux autres phases, ne sont plus reliées entre elles par les deux doigts respectifs 7, seul le doigt 7 de la phase privilégiée assurant une continuité électrique entre la broche privilégiée et l'élément formant douille correspondant 4. En poursuivant l'enfoncement du boîtier 1 dans le boîtier 2, la forme proéminente 7a du doigt 7 de la broche privilégiée 3 vient en appui sur la paroi frontale comportant l'ergot 1d de façon à désengager son extrémité libre 7b de la broche privilégiée 3 dès que cette dernière vient en contact électrique dans son élément formant douille 4 en même temps que les deux autres broches 3 viennent en contact électrique dans leurs éléments formant douilles respectifs 4. Les
Le connecteur électrique de l'invention permet ainsi de réaliser, au moment de son branchement, une liaison provisoire sur la phase à brancher en premier, puis, sur toutes les phases, les liaisons habituelles, assurant ainsi une protection efficace du personnel effectuant le branchement du connecteur.The electrical connector of the invention thus allows, at the time of its connection, a temporary connection to the phase to be connected first, and then, on all phases, the usual connections, thus ensuring effective protection of personnel performing the connection of the connector.
