Selon un premier aspect de l'invention, le premier et le second éléments de contacts sont des éléments de contact pourvus chacun d'une terminaison de contact multi-lames en sorte de réaliser des éléments de contact hermaphrodites.According to a first aspect of the invention, the first and second contact elements are contact elements each provided with a multi-blade contact termination so as to produce hermaphroditic contact elements.

Le document
Les lames de contact travaillent en élasticité radiale par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du contact.The contact blades work in radial elasticity with respect to the longitudinal axis of the contact.
Ce document ne décrit toutefois pas une paire d'éléments de contact pourvus chacun d'une terminaison de contact multi-lames en sorte de réaliser des éléments de contact hermaphrodites.However, this document does not describe a pair of contact elements each provided with a multi-blade contact termination so as to produce hermaphroditic contact elements.
L'intérêt de réaliser des contacts pourvus de terminaisons hermaphrodites réside dans la simplification des systèmes de connexion pour lesquels un seul type de contact et donc un seul outillage sont nécessaires et pour lesquels la gestion logistique et l'assemblage des connecteurs sont simplifiés.The advantage of making contacts provided with hermaphrodite terminations lies in the simplification of the connection systems for which only one type of contact and therefore only one tooling are necessary and for which the logistic management and the assembly of the connectors are simplified.
En outre l'optimisation de la capacité en courant des éléments de contact pourvus de terminaisons hermaphrodites est plus aisée, chaque élément de contact d'une paire d'éléments de contact hermaphrodites ayant le même comportement en résistance électrique de contact et donc en température lors du passage d'un courant intense.Furthermore, the optimization of the current capacity of the contact elements provided with hermaphrodite terminations is easier, each contact element of a pair of hermaphroditic contact elements having the same behavior in electrical contact resistance and therefore in temperature during the passage of an intense current.
De la sorte, les calculs dimensionnels et le choix de l'épaisseur du flan permettant de réaliser les contacts sont simplifiés.In this way, the dimensional calculations and the choice of the thickness of the blank for making the contacts are simplified.
Dans ce but, selon un premier aspect, l'invention propose un contact électrique selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, according to a first aspect, the invention proposes an electrical contact according to claim 1.
Par exemple, les lames comportent une face supérieure et une face inférieure, et des zones de contact électrique sont réalisées entre au moins une partie des faces supérieures des lames et la face interne d'un corps central dudit contact complémentaire.For example, the blades have an upper face and a lower face, and electrical contact zones are formed between at least a portion of the upper faces of the blades and the inner face of a central body of said complementary contact.
De façon alternative ou complémentaire les lames comportant une face supérieure et une face inférieure, des zones de contact électrique sont réalisées entre au moins une partie des faces inférieures des lames et la face externe d'un corps central dudit contact complémentaire.Alternatively or additionally blades having an upper face and a lower face, electrical contact zones are formed between at least a portion of the lower faces of the blades and the outer face of a central body of said complementary contact.

Aussi, selon un second aspect de l'invention on peut prévoir un dispositif de protection des lames d'un contact électrique comportant un élément coulissant solidaire du contact électrique et adapté à protéger les lames de contact en venant les recouvrir lorsque le contact n'est pas inséré dans une alvéole de réception du contact électrique pour éviter tout risque de tordre ou de casser les lames.Also, according to a second aspect of the invention may be provided a device for protecting the blades of an electrical contact having a sliding element integral with the electrical contact and adapted to protect the contact blades by coming to cover them when the contact is not not inserted into a receptacle of the electrical contact to avoid any risk of bending or breaking the blades.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément de cage rapporté comporte des moyens d'accrochage du contact dans une alvéole de réception dudit contact d'un boîtier de connecteur recevant au moins ledit contact.According to a particular embodiment, the attached cage element comprises means for engaging the contact in a receptacle for receiving said contact of a connector housing receiving at least said contact.
Avantageusement, le contact est reçu dans un boîtier isolant et le boîtier isolant comporte des moyens de poussée de la cage en position reculée à l'insertion du contact dans le boîtier.Advantageously, the contact is received in an insulating housing and the insulating housing comprises means for pushing the cage in the retracted position when the contact is inserted into the housing.
Ainsi, entre la fabrication du contact et son insertion dans le boîtier isolant, les lames de contact sont protégées par l'élément de cage qui dépasse de l'avant du corps central en position avancée et lorsque le contact est inséré dans son alvéole du boîtier isolant, l'élément de cage est poussé en position reculée dégageant les lames de contact.Thus, between the manufacture of the contact and its insertion into the insulating housing, the contact blades are protected by the cage element which protrudes from the front of the central body in the advanced position and when the contact is inserted into its cell of the housing. insulation, the cage member is pushed into the retracted position releasing the contact blades.

Elle peut être remplacée par tout type de terminaison connu pour des contacts électriques.It can be replaced by any type of termination known for electrical contacts.
Selon ce premier exemple de réalisation de l'invention, le contact électrique est un contact tubulaire, à symétrie de révolution autour de l'axe x, réalisé à partir d'un flan découpé roulé.According to this first embodiment of the invention, the electrical contact is a tubular contact, symmetrical about the x-axis, made from a rolled blank rolled.
Selon l'invention, la terminaison de contact comporte une première pluralité de lames 5 s'étendant généralement dans la direction longitudinale du contact électrique.According to the invention, the contact termination comprises a first plurality of
Cette pluralité de lames 5 est distribuées régulièrement selon la courbe directrice d'un cylindre.This plurality of
Les lames comportent une face supérieure 6 tournée vers l'extérieur du cylindre, une face inférieure 7 tournée vers l'intérieur du cylindre et des faces latérales 8,9 perpendiculaires aux dites faces supérieure et face inférieure.The blades comprise an
Les lames sont réalisées selon un profil général en S selon leur axe longitudinal, comportent une extrémité libre 11 recourbée vers l'axe longitudinal x du contact et une extrémité 12 de raccordement au corps central en marche d'escalier en sorte de réduire la section de l'enveloppe des lames par rapport à la section du corps central.The blades are made according to a general S-shape along their longitudinal axis, comprise a
Le corps central est un tube de section intérieure légèrement inférieure à la surface d'enveloppe externe des lames.The central body is a tube of inner section slightly smaller than the outer envelope surface of the blades.

Selon le premier aspect de l'invention le contact 3 est un contact hermaphrodite qui s'accouple avec un contact complémentaire comportant une section de contact comportant elle même une pluralité de lames 5b s'encastrant entre les lames de la première pluralité de lames 5a du premier contact. Deux contacts selon l'invention 1a et 1b sont représentés avant connexion à la
Pour réaliser la connexion électrique entre deux des contacts de l'invention, les lames 5a du premier contact s'imbriquent entre des lames complémentaires 5b du second contact, le contact électrique complémentaire 1b, lesdites lames complémentaires formant une seconde pluralité de lames 5b s'encastrant de la même manière entre les lames de la première pluralité de lames 5a.To make the electrical connection between two of the contacts of the invention, the
Les deux contacts sont alignés sur un même axe d'accouplement tête bêche avec une rotation de l'un des deux contacts sur l'axe d'accouplement pour que les lames du premier contact se positionnent dans les creux ou espaces entre les lames du second contact.The two contacts are aligned on the same coupling axis head to tail with a rotation of one of the two contacts on the coupling axis so that the blades of the first contact are positioned in the recesses or spaces between the blades of the second contact.
Pour permettre leur accouplement, les contacts se présentent décalés en rotation selon l'axe x de sorte que les lames 5a d'un premier des contacts 1a se positionnent entre les lames 5b du second des contacts 1b.To allow their coupling, the contacts are offset in rotation along the x axis so that the
Lorsque les contacts se rapprochent, les lames des pluralités de lames 5a, 5b entrent dans les corps centraux 3b, 3a et des zones de contact électrique sont réalisées entre au moins une partie des faces supérieures 6 des lames et une face interne 10a. 10b des corps centraux 3a, 3b des contacts complémentaires 1 a, 1 b comme représenté en

Pour réaliser les zones de contact, les lames courbées en S comportent un segment 13 légèrement incliné vers l'extérieur entre les extrémités 11 et 12, la face externe du segment 13 venant frotter contre la face interne du corps 3.To achieve the contact areas, the curved blades S comprise a
La pression de contact permettant la connexion électrique est générée par la pression du corps central sur les lames du fait que le corps central est un tube de section intérieure légèrement inférieure à la surface d'enveloppe externe des lames.The contact pressure for the electrical connection is generated by the pressure of the central body on the blades because the central body is a tube of inner section slightly smaller than the outer envelope surface of the blades.
Pour obtenir une pression de contact correcte et stable dans le temps, le métal des contacts est avantageusement un alliage métallique fortement ressort tel qu'un alliage cupro-béryllium.In order to obtain a correct and stable contact pressure over time, the metal of the contacts is advantageously a highly spring-loaded metal alloy such as a cupro-beryllium alloy.
La
Les contacts hermaphrodites selon l'invention sont ainsi réalisés de sorte que lesdites première et seconde pluralités de lames 5, 5a, 5b constituent des liaisons électriques parallèles entre les corps centraux 3, 3a, 3b desdits contact électrique et contact électrique complémentaire 1, 1 a, 1 b.The hermaphrodite contacts according to the invention are thus made such that said first and second pluralities of
Une telle distribution permet de réduire les phénomènes de micro-coupures dues à des vibrations.Such a distribution makes it possible to reduce micro-cut phenomena due to vibrations.
Il est à noter que selon cet exemple les contacts comportent chacun quatre lames, ce nombre pouvant être augmenté ou réduit, par exemple en fonction du diamètre du contact et de la section des lames.It should be noted that according to this example the contacts each comprise four blades, this number can be increased or reduced, for example as a function of the diameter of the contact and the section of the blades.
