Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un connecteur électrique permettant de relier les conducteurs d'un câblage classique avec les pistes d'un câblage plat.The present invention relates to a connector electric to connect the conductors of a conventional wiring with flat wiring tracks.

On connaít des câbles plats formés d'une âme souple et isolante supportant une série de pistes bonnes conductrices de l'électricité. Ces câbles plats sont très pratiques pour certaines applications, mais dans certaines applications, ils doivent se combiner avec des câblages classiques comprenant des séries de conducteurs logés dans des gaines isolantes, la liaison entre ces deux câblages est souvent délicate à réaliser.We know flat cables formed of a core flexible and insulating supporting a series of good tracks conductive of electricity. These flat cables are very practical for some applications, but in some applications they have to combine with wiring classics including series of housed conductors in insulating sheaths, the connection between these two cables is often difficult to achieve.

L'un des buts de la présente invention est de réaliser un connecteur permettant de réaliser facilement une telle liaison.One of the aims of the present invention is to realize a connector allowing to realize easily such a bond.

Le connecteur, selon l'invention, est destiné à relier électriquement un faisceau de conducteurs électriques à une série de pistes conductrices d'un câble plat, ledit connecteur étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une embase comportant des moyens pour la fixation d'une série de conducteurs, lesdits moyens étant reliés à des plots de contact et une partie complémentaire destinée à être montée sur l'embase et comportant une série de lames élastiques destinées à coopérer avec les plots, et des moyens pour fixer la partie complémentaire sur l'embase en insérant entre les plots et les lames élastiques, le câble plat.The connector according to the invention is intended to electrically connect a bundle of electrical conductors to a series of conductive tracks of a flat cable, said connector being characterized in that it comprises a base comprising means for fixing a series of conductors, said means being connected to contact pads and an additional part intended to be mounted on the base and comprising a series of elastic blades intended to cooperate with the studs, and means for fixing the complementary part on the base by inserting between the studs and the elastic blades, the flat cable.

On conçoit qu'un tel connecteur particulièrement simple permet aisément de relier électriquement à un faisceau de conducteurs un ou plusieurs câbles plats. It is understood that such a connector particularly easy to connect electrically to a harness of conductors one or more ribbon cables.

Suivant une caractéristique particulière, l'embase comprend une série de lumières délimitant entre elles des barreaux, les moyens pour la fixation des conducteurs comprenant des étriers en U présentant deux ailes et une âme, les ailes traversant deux lumières adjacentes et étant serties sur les conducteurs, tandis que les âmes constituent les plots. On réalise ainsi un moyen simple de fixation des conducteurs permettant en même temps de réaliser les plots de contact.According to a particular characteristic, the base includes a series of lights delimiting between them bars, means for fixing conductors comprising U-shaped stirrups with two wings and a soul, the wings crossing two adjacent lights and being crimped onto the conductors, while the cores constitute the studs. We thus realize a simple means fixing conductors allowing at the same time make the contact pads.

Suivant une variante de réalisation, le connecteur comprend une série d'organes de contact électrique présentant une partie en U avec une âme et deux ailes pourvues, chacune, d'une patte de verrouillage tournée vers l'âme, la partie en U enchâssant les barreaux et la face externe de ladite âme formant les plots de contact, cette dernière étant prolongée pour présenter des pattes de sertissage assurant la fixation des conducteurs.According to an alternative embodiment, the connector includes a series of electrical contact members with a U-shaped part with a core and two wings each provided with a turned locking tab towards the soul, the U-shaped part encasing the bars and the external face of said core forming the contact pads, the latter being extended to present legs of crimping ensuring the fixing of the conductors.

De préférence, l'embase comporte une patte latérale pourvue d'encoches pour le guidage d'un serre-câble de fixation du câblage.Preferably, the base has a tab side provided with notches for guiding a cable clamp for fixing the wiring.

Suivant une caractéristique constructive, l'embase comporte, sur sa face destinée à être tournée vers la partie complémentaire, un rebord destiné à coopérer avec la face correspondante de cette dernière pour pincer le câble plat. Ainsi, lorsque la partie complémentaire est montée sur l'embase, le câble plat ne risque pas de se déplacer intempestivement.According to a constructive characteristic, the base comprises, on its face intended to be rotated towards the complementary part, a rim intended to cooperate with the corresponding side of the latter to pinch the flat cable. So when the complementary part is mounted on the base, the flat cable does not risk move unexpectedly.

Afin de faciliter le montage de la partie complémentaire sur l'embase, cette dernière, sur sa face destinée à être tournée vers la partie complémentaire comporte des douilles, tandis que ladite partie complémentaire présente des saillies destinées à coopérer avec lesdites douilles. To facilitate the assembly of the part complementary on the base, the latter on its face intended to be turned towards the complementary part has sockets, while said complementary part has projections intended to cooperate with said sockets.

Suivant encore une caractéristique constructive, le connecteur électrique comporte une barrette fixée sur la face correspondante de la partie complémentaire et à partir de laquelle s'étendent de chaque côté les lames élastiques, celles-ci présentant à partir de la barrette une partie ascendante prolongée par une partie convexe, les dernières étant divergentes d'une lame située d'un côté de la barrette par rapport à une lame située de l'autre côté de ladite barrette et les plots étant disposés en deux séries dont l'un s'étend en regard des lames élastiques situées d'un côté de la barrette et l'autre en regard des lames élastiques situées de l'autre côté de ladite barrette.According to another constructive characteristic, the electrical connector has a bar fixed on the corresponding face of the complementary part and from which extend the blades on each side elastic, these presenting from the bar an ascending part extended by a convex part, the latter being divergent from a blade located side of the bar relative to a blade on the other side of said strip and the studs being arranged in two series, one of which extends opposite the elastic blades located on one side of the bar and the other facing elastic blades located on the other side of said bar.

Suivant encore une autre caractéristique, les saillies sont percées d'un trou axial et le fond des douilles d'ouvertures pour permettre le vissage de vis d'assemblage de la partie complémentaire sur l'embase.According to yet another characteristic, the projections are pierced with an axial hole and the bottom of the opening sockets to allow the screwing of screws assembly of the complementary part on the base.

Enfin, la face de l'embase destinée à être tournée en regard de la partie complémentaire comporte, dans sa partie destinée à être située au droit de la barrette, une nervure. Ainsi, le câble plat est disposé suivant un parcours sinueux qui assure son maintien entre les éléments du connecteur. Finally, the face of the base intended to be tour opposite the complementary part includes, in its part intended to be located to the right of the bar, a rib. Thus, the flat cable is arranged according to a winding course which ensures its maintenance between the connector elements.

    • Le connecteur représenté aux figures est plus particulièrement destiné à la réalisation de liaisons électriques pour l'alimentation des différents éléments électriques situées sur la face interne d'un pavillon de véhicule.The connector shown in the figures is more particularly intended for the realization of connections electric for the supply of the different elements located on the inside of a pavilion vehicle.

    Le connecteur comprend une embase 1 présentant, sur une face 1b, deux tétons de centrage et des crochets 3 pour sa fixation à un support prévu sur le pavillon du véhicule (non représenté).The connector comprises a base 1 having, on one side 1b, two centering pins and hooks 3 for its attachment to a support provided on the roof of the vehicle (not shown).

    Sur une face la, l'embase 1 est conformée pour présenter deux douilles 4.On one side, the base 1 is shaped to present two sockets 4.

    La partie de l'embase 1 située entre les douilles 4 est percée de deux séries de lumières 5 qui délimitent entre elles des barreaux 6. The part of the base 1 located between the sockets 4 is pierced by two series of lights 5 which delimit between them bars 6.

    Deux lumières adjacentes 5 sont destinées à être traversées par les ailes 7 d'un étrier en U 8, dont les extrémités libres desdites ailes sont destinées à être serties sur la partie dénudée 9 d'un conducteur 10, l'âme 11 dudit étrier constituant un plot de contact situé sur la face 1a de ladite embase 1.Two adjacent lights 5 are intended to be crossed by the wings 7 of a U-shaped bracket 8, whose free ends of said wings are intended to be crimped on the stripped part 9 of a conductor 10, the core 11 of said stirrup constituting a contact pad located on the face 1a of said base 1.

    L'embase 1 est complétée par une patte latérale 13 pourvue de deux encoches 14 pour le guidage d'un serre-câble 15 destiné à enserrer un faisceau de câblage 16. La face la de l'embase 1 est bordée par un rebord 17. La face 1a présente également une nervure 18 s'étendant dans la partie médiane entre les douilles 4.Base 1 is completed by a side tab 13 provided with two notches 14 for guiding a cable clamp 15 intended to enclose a wiring harness 16. The face 1a of the base 1 is bordered by a flange 17. The face 1a also has a rib 18 extending in the middle part between the sockets 4.

    Le connecteur comprend (voir figures 4 à 9) une partie complémentaire 20 présentant deux saillies 21 dont les extrémités libres sont tronconiques et qui sont destinées à s'engager dans les douilles 4, les saillies étant percées d'un trou axial 22 pour le passage de vis de fixation se vissant dans des ouvertures 25 des douilles 4.The connector includes (see figures 4 to 9) an additional part 20 having two projections 21 whose free ends are frustoconical and which are intended to engage in the sockets 4, the projections being drilled with an axial hole 22 for the passage of screws fastening screwing into openings 25 of sockets 4.

    La partie complémentaire 20, sur sa face 20a, comporte des ergots 27 destinés a s insérer dans des trous 29 d'une barrette 28 d'un peigne 30.The complementary part 20, on its face 20a, has pins 27 intended to be inserted in holes 29 of a bar 28 of a comb 30.

    La partie complémentaire 20 ainsi que l'embase 1 sont réalisées en matière plastique isolante et après la pose de la barrette 28 les extrémités libres des ergots 27 sont épanouies de manière à assurer la fixation de ladite barrette.The complementary part 20 as well as the base 1 are made of insulating plastic and after fitting the bar 28 the free ends of the pins 27 are expanded so as to ensure fixing of said bar.

    A partir de la barrette 28 s'étendent, de chaque côté, des lames élastiques 31 qui présentent une partie ascendante 31a formant avec la barrette 28 un angle de l'ordre de 110° et prolongée par une partie 31a, 31b convexe, ces parties étant divergentes d'une lame située d'un côté de la barrette 28 par rapport à une lame correspondante située de l'autre côté de ladite barrette.From the bar 28 extend, from on each side, elastic blades 31 which have a ascending part 31a forming with the bar 28 an angle of the order of 110 ° and extended by a portion 31a, 31b convex, these parts being divergent from a blade situated on one side of the bar 28 relative to a corresponding blade located on the other side of said strip.

    La face 20a de la partie complémentaire 20 est plane à sa périphérie et le rebord 17 a une longueur telle que, lorsque l'embase 1 et la partie complémentaire 20 sont assemblées, le rebord bute contre la face 20a.The face 20a of the complementary part 20 is planar at its periphery and the rim 17 has a length such that, when the base 1 and the complementary part 20 are assembled, the flange abuts against the face 20a.

    Comme on le voit aux figures 11 et 13, le connecteur permet de relier électriquement les plots 11 à des pistes de câbles plats 35, 36 et 37.As seen in Figures 11 and 13, the connector used to electrically connect the studs 11 to flat cable tracks 35, 36 and 37.

    Ces câbles plats sont disposés de manière à s'insérer entre l'embase 1 et la partie complémentaire 20, ils passent, par conséquent, sous la nervure 18 et les pistes qu'ils comportent sont appliquées élastiquement contre les plots 11 par les parties convexes 31b des lames 31.These flat cables are arranged so to be inserted between the base 1 and the complementary part 20, they therefore pass under the rib 18 and the tracks they include are applied elastically against the studs 11 by the convex parts 31b of the blades 31.

    De manière que les câbles plats 35, 36, 37 ne puissent pas glisser une fois mis en place, ils sont enserrés entre le rebord 17 et la surface plane 20a, les vis 23 assurant l'assemblage de la partie complémentaire 20 sur l'embase 1.So that the flat cables 35, 36, 37 cannot slide once set up they are clamped between the rim 17 and the flat surface 20a, the screw 23 ensuring the assembly of the complementary part 20 on base 1.

    A la figure 14, on a représenté un organe de contact électrique 40 destiné à remplacer l'étrier 8.In Figure 14, there is shown an organ electrical contact 40 intended to replace the bracket 8.

    Cet organe 40 comprend une partie en U avec une âme 41, deux ailes 42 dont les extrémités libres 43 vont en s'évasant.This member 40 includes a U-shaped part with a core 41, two wings 42 whose free ends 43 are flared.

    Dans les ailes 42 sont découpées des pattes de verrouillage 44 qui sont dirigées vers l'âme 41. In the wings 42 are cut legs locking 44 which are directed towards the core 41.

    L'âme 41, à une extrémité, est prolongée par une barrette 45 avec deux pattes de sertissage 46 dirigées du côté opposé à celui des ailes 42 et destinées au sertissage d'une extrémité dénudée d'un conducteur 10b, ladite barrette 45 étant terminée par deux autres pattes de sertissage 48 destinées à assurer la fixation de la partie gainée du conducteur 10b.The core 41, at one end, is extended by a bar 45 with two crimping lugs 46 directed on the side opposite that of the wings 42 and intended for crimping of a stripped end of a conductor 10b, said bar 45 being terminated by two other crimping lugs 48 intended to secure the sheathed part conductor 10b.

    Les figures 15 et 16 montrent la variante de réalisation dans laquelle l'organe 40 est utilisé à la place de l'étrier 8. Sur ces figures, on a utilisé les références portées sur les figures précédentes pour désigner les éléments correspondants, mais affectées de la lettre "b".Figures 15 and 16 show the variant in which the member 40 is used for instead of the caliper 8. In these figures, we used the references given in the previous figures for designate the corresponding elements, but affected by the letter "b".

    Comme on le voit aux figures 15 et 16, le conducteur 9a est fixé par sertissage des pattes 46 et 48 sur l'organe de contact électrique 40, celui-ci étant fixé sur un barreau 6b en engageant dans les lumières 5b, de part et d'autre dudit barreau 6b, les ailes 42, celles-ci s'écartant élastiquement jusqu'à ce que les pattes de verrouillage 44 viennent se bloquer contre la face du barreau opposée à celle reposant sur l'âme 41.As seen in Figures 15 and 16, the conductor 9a is fixed by crimping the tabs 46 and 48 on the electrical contact member 40, the latter being fixed on a bar 6b by engaging in the lights 5b, on either side of said bar 6b, the wings 42, these spreading elastically until the legs of lock 44 locks against the face of the bar opposite to that resting on the core 41.

    Dans ce mode de réalisation particulier, étant donné que les conducteurs 9a sont situés du côté du rebord 17b, ce dernier présente des fentes 50 pour le passage des conducteurs 9a.In this particular embodiment, being given that the conductors 9a are located on the side of the rim 17b, the latter has slots 50 for the passage of conductors 9a.

    La face externe de l'âme 41 des organes 40 coopère avec les pistes conductrices des câbles plats, cette face constituant ainsi le plot de contact. The external face of the core 41 of the organs 40 cooperates with the conductive tracks of the flat cables, this face thus constituting the contact pad.

    Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits et représentés. 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 embodiments which have just been described and represented. We can make many modifications detail without departing from the framework of the invention.
