Description

I
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector and also to an electrical connection comprising said electrical connector.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Electrical equipment requiring electrical connections, for example to a power supply, will often use electrical connections to electric cables that have cable lugs attached at the end.
[0003] Examples of typical prior art cable lugs can be seen in GB2256096A and US4196960. Cable lugs typically comprise a barrel portion into which the end of the electric cable can be inserted and fixed, and flat plate portion having a through-hole provided therein. The cable lug can be placed over an electrical stud on the electrical equipment with which an electrical connection is required, such that the electrical stud passes through the through-hole on the cable lug. Some cable lugs are provided with more than one through-hole such that engagement with more than one electrical stud can be achieved.
[0004] Prior art cable lugs such as these are typically used for electrical connections with low voltage and medium voltage electrical equipment and devices. Possible rotation and other movement of the cable lug at the electrical connection interface means that use of cable lugs in high voltage electrical connections is generally unsuitable due to the increased risk of thermal hotspots or arcing within the electrical connection. This is particularly a concern for high voltage applications because high voltage cables tend to be thicker and less pliable, which can place more stress and strain on the cable lug.
SUMMARY
[0005] A first aspect of the present invention provides an electrical connector comprising: a cable connection portion; and a terminal connection portion having a first through-hole for placement over an electrical stud; characterised in that the terminal connection portion comprises a second through-hole for engagement with a locating feature, the second through-hole being non-identical to the first through-hole.
[0006] As a result, the first through-hole can be used to engage with an electrical stud in a typical way to create an electrical connection, and the second through-hole can be used to engage with a locating feature to ensure the electrical connector remains fixed relative to and possibly also in a correct location and/or orientation relative to an electrical device with which the electrical connector is in connection with. This can give rise to a more reliable electrical connection, and a reduced risk of thermal hotspots and arcing for instance, particularly in high voltage conditions.
[0007] The second through-hole may have a smaller diameter than the first through-hole. This may ensure that the electrical connector is connected in the correct way, reducing the risk that an incorrect through-hole is used to engage with an electrical stud. In addition, a smaller second through-hole may allow a more reliable engagement with a locating feature.
[0008] The second through-hole may have a different shape to the first through-hole.
This may further ensure that the electrical connector is connected in the correct way, reducing the risk that an incorrect through-hole is used to engage with an electrical stud. In addition, a different shaped second through-hole may better prevent any rotation of the electrical connector, thus further increasing the reliability of an electrical connection.
[0009] The first. through-hole may be circular, and the second through hole may be square. As a result, the first through-hole can easily be threaded and placed over a standard electrical stud, whilst the second through-hole gives effective rotation prevention, allowing the electrical connector to create a more reliable electrical connection.
[0010] The cable connection portion comprises a barrel body into which a cable can be inserted and fixed.
[0011] A second aspect of the invention provides an electrical connection comprising an electrical connector as claimed in any one of the preceding statements, and a mounting interface to which the electrical connector is mounted when assembled; the mounting interlace comprising an electrical stud and a locating Feature.
[1.1012] As a result, engagement of the locating feature in the second-through hole of the electrical connector can prevent relative rotation between the electrical connector and the mounting interface. This may reduce the risk of thermal hotspots arising within the electrical connection, and also reduces the risk of arcing between the components, and therefore provides a more reliable electrical connection particularly if the electrical connection is high voltage.
[0013] The locating feature may he a locator pin. The locator pin may he movable between a number of positions on the mounting interface. As a result, the angle and positioning of the electrical connector relative to the mounting interface can be controlled by the placement of the pin.
[0014] The locating feature may have a smaller cross-section than the electrical stud.
This may help ensure that the electrical connector is connected to the mounting interface in the correct way, eliminating the risk that the incorrect through-hole is used to engage with the electrical stud. In addition, a smaller second through-hole may allow a more reliable engagement with a locating feature.
[0015] The locating feature may have a different cross-section shape to the electrical stud, and the cross-section shape of the locating feature corresponds to the shape of the second through-hole of the electrical connector. This may further ensure that the electrical connector is connected to the mounting interface in the correct way, reducing the risk that an incorrect through-hole is used to engage with the electrical stud. In addition, a different shaped second through-hole may better prevent any rotation of the electrical connector relative to the mounting interface, thus further increasing the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0016] When assembled, the electrical stud may extend through the first through-hole of the electrical connector with a clearance fit, the First through-hole being latter than the cross-section of the electrical stud. As a result, the connector can easily be placed over the electrical connector.
[0017] When assembled, the locating feature may extend through the second through-hole of the electrical connector, the second through-hole being substantially the same as the cross-section or the locating feature. As a result, there is a tight lit between the locating feature of the mounting interface and the second through-hole of the electrical connector, and relative movement and/or rotation between the two is prevented, resulting in a more reliable electrical connection.
[0018] When assembled, rotation of the electrical connector relative to the mounting interface may be prevented by the fit of the locating feature within the second through-hole of the electrical connector. This may allow for a more reliable electrical connection.
[0019] The electrical stud may he threaded, and may support a fastening nut which tightens against the terminal connection portion of the electrical connector to mount the electrical connector to the mounting interface [0020] The mounting interface may be a high voltage electrical terminal.
[0021] A third aspect of the invention provides an aircraft comprising an electric cable and high voltage equipment, wherein an electrical connector according to one of the statements above is fixed to one end of the electric cable.
[0022] The electric cable may be connected to the electric equipment by an electrical connection as described in one of the other statements above.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0023] Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: [0024] Figure 1 is a first embodiment of an electrical connector according to the present invention; [0025] Figure 2 is a first embodiment of a mounting interface according to the invention; and [0026] Figure 3 shows an electrical connection between the electrical connector of Figure 1 and the mounting interface of Figure 2; [0027] Figure 4 is a second embodiment of an electrical connector according to the present invention; [0028] Figure 5 is a second embodiment of a mounting interface according to the invention; [0029] Figure 6 shows an electrical connection between the electrical connector of Figure 4 and the mounting interface of Figure 5; and [0030] Figure 7 shows an aircraft comprising high voltage equipment.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] Referring to Figure 1, an electrical connector 1 is illustrated. The electrical connector 1 is the type usually referred to as a cable lug, and comprises a cable connection portion 2 and a terminal connection portion 3.
[0032] The cable connection portion 2 comprises a barrel 4 which defines a cavity into which a cable can be inserted. In particular the exposed conductive part of a cable is inserted into the barrel 4. The cable can be fixed inside the barrel 4 by one or more of a number of methods. For example, the cable may be soldered to the barrel, the barrel 4 may be crimped against the cable, or in an alternative embodiment the ban-el may comprise a threaded hole through the sidewall of the barrel which houses a tightening screw that can be tightened against the cable inside the barrel to hold it in place. Other methods of fixing a cable inside the barrel will be apparent. The method of fixing the cable inside the barrel is not pertinent to the present invention, and will be selected according to whichever is most appropriate for the requirements of the components of the electrical connection being achieved.
I00331 The cable connection portion 2 is connected to the terminal portion 3. The terminal connection portion 3 comprises a substantially flat plate 5. A first through-hole 6 is provided in the flat plate 5. The first through-hole 6 is circular and is of the type typically found in known cable lugs. The first through-hole 6 allows the electrical connector 1 to be placed over an electrical stud on an electric terminal, which will be shown and described in more detail below.
[00341 The terminal connection portion 3 further comprises a second through-hole 7.
The second through-hole is non-identical to the first through-hole: for instance, the second through-hole is shown in Figure 1 as being smaller than the first through-hole 6. In addition, the second through-hole 7 is a different shape to the first through-hole 6, with the first through-hole 6 being circular, and the second through-hole 7 being square. The term non-identical is used herein to refer to differences in characteristics and properties of the through-holes 6 and 7 such as their size and shape.
[0035] Referring to Figure 2, a mounting interface 10 is illustrated. The mounting interface 10 is a terminal connection, for example a terminal connection provided on high voltage electrical equipment. The mounting interface 10 comprises an electrical stud 11 extending from a base 12. The electrical stud 11 is of the type typically found on electrical terminal connections to which cable lugs are fitted, and which are sometimes referred to as terminal bolts. The electrical stud 11 is provided with a thread 13 on its outer surface such that a nut. (not shown) can engage with the thread 13 in order to screw onto the electrical stud [0036] The mounting interface 10 also comprises a locating feature 14 extending from the base 12. The locating feature 14 is a protrusion from the base 12 and may take the form of a locator pin for example. The locating feature 14 is illustrated as being cuboid.
[0037] Figure 3 illustrates an electrical connection 20 formed between the electrical connector 1 of Figure 1 and the mounting interface 10 of Figure 2. The electrical connection 20 is assembled by mounting the electrical connector 1 to the mounting interface 10. The electrical connector 1 has been placed over the mounting interface 10 such that the electrical stud 11 extends through the first through-hole 6 in the terminal connection portion 3, and the locating feature 14 extends through the second through-hole 7. The electrical connector 1 can be tightened in place against the mounting interface 10 by a washer and nut (not shown) which are placed over the threaded electrical stud and screwed down and tightened to hold the electrical connector 1 in place against the mounting interface 10.
[0038] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, a clearance fit is provided between the first through-hole 6 of the electrical connector 1 and the electrical stud 11 of the mounting interface 10. This allows the electrical connector 1 to be easily positioned over the electrical stud 11 during assembly of the electrical connection 20. A tighter lit, which may be for example a transition fit or even an interference fit, is provided between the second through-hole 7 of the electrical connector 1 and the locating feature 14 of the mounting interface 10. This tighter fit ensures that any relative movement between the electrical connector 1 and mounting interface 10 is minimised, and preferably prevented entirely.
[0039] The locating feature 14 is shown extending through the second through-hole 7 such that a significant portion of the locating feature 14 projects proud of the flat plate 5 once the electrical connection 20 is assembled. However in alternative embodiments, the height of the locating feature may be considerably less, and it may be sized, for example, such that the top of the locating feature 14 sits substantially flush with the surface of the flat plate 5.
[0040] Referring to Figure 4, another embodiment of an electrical connector 30 is illustrated. The electrical connector 30 is also of the type usually referred to as a cable lug, and similarly to the embodiment shown in Figure 1 it comprises a cable connection portion 32 and a terminal connection portion 33.
[0041] As with the previously described embodiment, the cable connection portion 32 comprises a barrel 34 which defines a cavity into which a cable can be inserted. The cable can be fixed inside the barrel 4 by the same methods as previously described.
[0042] The cable connection portion 32 is connected to the terminal portion 33. The terminal connection portion 33 comprises a substantially flat plate 35. A first through-hole 36 is provided in the flat plate 35, and thc first through-holc 36 is the same as the through-hole 6 described in relation to the first embodiment in Figure 1: circular and of the type typically found in known cable lugs. The first through-hole 36 allows the electrical connector 30 to be placed over an electrical stud on an electric terminal, which will be shown and described in more detail below.
[0043] The terminal connection portion 33 further comprises a second through-hole 37.
The second through-hole 37 is non-identical to the first through-hole. In this embodiment, both through-holes 36 and 37 are circular in shape, but the second through-hole 37 is smaller in diameter than the first through-hole 36.
[0044] Referring to Figure 5, a mounting interface 40 is illustrated. The mounting interface 40 is a terminal connection, for example a terminal connection provided on high voltage electrical equipment. The mounting interface 40 comprises an electrical stud 41 extending from a base 42. The electrical stud 41 is of the type typically found on electrical terminal connections to which cable lugs are fitted, and which are sometimes referred to as terminal bolts. The electrical stud 41 is provided with a thread 43 on its outer surface such that a nut (not shown) can engage with the thread 43 in order to screw onto the electrical stud 41.
[0045] The mounting interface 40 also comprises a locating feature 44 extending from the base 42. The locating feature 44 protrudes from the base 12 and may take the form of a locator pin for example. The locating feature 44 is illustrated as being cylindrical. In this embodiment, the locating feature 44 is a locating pin, and the locating pin is movable between a number of different positions on the mounting interface 40. Alternative positions 45a, 45b and 45c are shown on the base 42. In this embodiment, these alternative positions are provided as recesses into which the locating pin can be inserted, but other ways to achieve the same functionality will be appreciated. By providing a number of different position options on the base for the locating feature to be placed at, it is possible to have better and more flexible control over the angle at which an electrical connector will sit when mounted onto the mounting interface 40. This may he particularly beneficial when the electrical connection is located somewhere where they may be space constraints.
[00461 Figure 6 illustrates an electrical connection 50 formed between the electrical connector 30 of Figure 4 and the mounting interface 40 of Figure 5. The electrical connection 50 is assembled by mounting the electrical connector 30 to the mounting interface 40. The electrical connector 30 has been placed over the mounting interface 40 such that the electrical stud 41 extends through the first through-hole 36 in the terminal connection portion 33, and the locating feature 44 extends through the second through-hole 37. The electrical connector 30 can be tightened in place against the mounting interface 40 by a washer and nut (not shown) which are placed over the threaded electrical stud 41 and screwed down and tightened to hold the electrical connector 30 in place against the mounting interface 40.
[0047] Prior to assembly of the electrical connection, the locating pin is positioned in the desired location, said location having been selected from the number of different positions available on the base 42. The locating pin may simply be inserted into the recess, or it may be held in place more firmly by a transition fit, an interference fit, or by a weld for example.
R10481 In the embodiment shown in Figure 6, a clearance fit is provided between the first through-hole 36 of the electical connector 30 and the electrical stud 41 of the mounting interface 40. This allows the electrical connector 30 to be easily positioned over the electrical stud 41 during assembly of the electrical connection 50. A tighter fit, which may be for example a transition fit or even an interference fit, is provided between the second through-hole 37 of the electrical connector 30 and the locating feature 44 of the mounting interface 40. This tighter lit ensures that any relative movement between the electrical connector 30 and mounting interface 40 within the assembled electrical connection 50 is minimised, and preferably prevented entirely.
[0049] The locating feature 14 is shown extending through the second through-hole 37 such that a significant portion of the locating feature 44 projects proud of the flat plate 35 once the electrical connection 50 is assembled. However in alternative embodiments, the height of the locating feature may he considerably less, and it may be sized, for example, such that the top of the locating feature 44 sits substantially flush with the surface of the flat plate 35.
[0050] Figure 7 shows an aircraft 60 having a fuselage 62 and wings 63. Attached to the wings 63 are propulsion engines 64. Each propulsion engine 64 comprises a ducted fan driven by an electric motor housed within a nacelle 65. Each propulsion engine 64 is attached to the wing 63 by way of a pylon 66.
[0051] Electric power is provided to drive the electric motors from a power source, which for example may be one or more of a combination of an energy storage solution such as batteries, hydrogen cells, or a hybrid power generating system. The power source in the present example is located in the fuselage 62 of the aircraft 60. However, alternatively, the power source could be provided in other parts of the aircraft, and may be split into more than one source and distributed across a number of different parts of the aircraft 60.
[0052] Electrical power is transferred from the power source to the electric motors in the propulsion engines 64 by way of high voltage electrical cables. These high voltage cables are provided at the ends with electrical connectors such as those described above, and are attached to electrical components and equipment, such as the power source and the electric motors using electrical connections such as those described above. High voltage cables run from the power source in the fuselage 62, through the wings 63, and then pass through the pylons 66 into the nacelles 65 where they connect with the propulsion engines 64.
[0053] It will he appreciated that an aircraft provides a significantly dynamic environment, with considerable relative movement between the different parts of the aircraft, for example flexing of the wings in flight, and movement within transition areas such as the pylon between the wing and the propulsion engines. Space constraints are also a concern, as the available space is typically very small, especially within the pylons and nacelles. The electrical connectors and electrical connections such as those described above are therefore beneficial for ensuring reliable high voltage connections between the high voltage equipment.
[0054] Although the invention has been described above with reference to one or more preferred examples or embodiments, it will be appreciated that various changes or modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. In addition, it will be understood that features of any embodiment described herein may be combinable and/or interchangeable with the features of any other embodiment described herein.
[0055] Although the invention has been described above in the context of a fixed-wing aircraft application, it may also be advantageously applied to various other applications, including but not limited to applications on other vehicles such as helicopters, drones, trains, automobiles and spacecraft.
[00561 Where the term -or" has been used in the preceding description, this term should be understood to mean "and/or", except where explicitly stated otherwise.
