Description

L'invention concerne, de façon générale, les domaines de la connectique et de la sécurité.The invention relates, in general, the fields of connectivity and security.

Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un dispositif de branchement à accès sécurisé, comprenant une prise, une fiche amovible sélectivement engagée dans la prise, un boîtier de protection fixe par rapport à la prise et dont une face avant est dotée d'un volet mobile, et des organes de verrouillage, la prise étant logée dans le boîtier, le boîtier étant conçu pour adopter sélectivement une configuration ouverte et une configuration fermée dans lesquelles respectivement le volet autorise et interdit l'accès de la fiche à la prise, et les organes de verrouillage étant conçus pour autoriser ou interdire sélectivement les configurations ouverte et fermée du boîtier, ce dispositif adoptant sélectivement un état d'utilisation dans lequel le boîtier est en configuration ouverte et dans lequel la fiche est engagée dans la prise.More specifically, the invention relates to a connection device with secure access, comprising a plug, a removable plug selectively engaged in the socket, a fixed protective housing relative to the socket and a front face is provided with a movable flap , and locking members, the socket being housed in the housing, the housing being designed to selectively adopt an open configuration and a closed configuration in which respectively the flap allows and prevents access from the plug to the socket, and the organs locking means being designed to selectively allow or prohibit the open and closed configurations of the housing, which selectively adopts a state of use in which the housing is in open configuration and in which the plug is engaged in the socket.

Un dispositif de ce type est connu de l'homme du métier par le document de brevet FR 2 526 234 .A device of this type is known to those skilled in the art by the patent document FR 2,526,234 .

Bien qu'un tel dispositif permette effectivement d'interdire de façon efficace l'accès d'une fiche à une prise libre, il s'avère en revanche impropre à empêcher l'opération accidentelle ou malveillante qui consiste à retirer une fiche engagée dans la prise pour pouvoir en introduire une autre.Although such a device effectively allows to effectively prohibit the access of a card to a free outlet, it is however unsuitable to prevent the accidental or malicious operation of removing a card engaged in the taken to introduce another.

L'invention, qui se situe dans ce contexte, a pour but de proposer un dispositif conçu pour répondre à ce besoin supplémentaire.The invention, which is in this context, aims to provide a device designed to meet this additional need.

A cette fin, le dispositif de l'invention, par ailleurs conforme à la définition générique qu'en donne le préambule ci-dessus, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que les organes de verrouillage comprennent un loquet mobile, une glissière, et une clef, en ce que la clef est conçue pour être sélectivement liée au loquet en translation et pour imprimer à ce loquet un coulissement, interdit par défaut, dans la glissière entre une position de verrouillage et une position de déverrouillage, en ce que le volet et la fiche comportent des reliefs de retenue respectifs, et en ce que, dans sa position de verrouillage, le loquet retient le relief de retenue du volet dans la configuration fermée du boîtier, et retient le relief de retenue de la fiche dans l'état d'utilisation du dispositif.To this end, the device of the invention, furthermore in accordance with the generic definition given in the preamble above, is essentially characterized in that the locking members comprise a movable latch, a slide, and a key, in that the key is adapted to be selectively linked to the latch in translation and to print to this latch a sliding, prohibited by default, in the slide between a locking position and an unlocking position, in that the flap and the plug comprise respective retaining reliefs, and in that in its locking position, the latch retains the retaining relief of the flap in the closed configuration of the housing, and retains the retaining relief of the plug in the state of use of the device.

De préférence, la clef est prisonnière de la glissière dans la position de déverrouillage du loquet et est librement extractible de la glissière dans la position de verrouillage du loquet.Preferably, the key is locked to the slide in the latch release position and is freely extractable from the slide in the locking position of the latch.

Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, il est possible de prévoir que le loquet présente une lumière traversante conformée pour être pénétrée par un panneton de la clef et disposée, dans la position de verrouillage du loquet, en regard d'une ouverture pratiquée dans la face avant du boîtier, que la glissière présente, en regard de la lumière du loquet dans la position de verrouillage de ce loquet, au moins un cliquet élastiquement rappelé vers une position de repos dans laquelle il retient ce loquet dans sa position de verrouillage, que l'ouverture de la face avant du boîtier soit prolongée par une fente pratiquée dans cette face parallèlement à la glissière, que le panneton de la clef soit conformé pour déplacer, une fois inséré dans la lumière du loquet, chaque cliquet de sa position de repos, et que la présence du panneton dans la lumière du loquet lie la clef et le loquet en translation, ce dont il résulte qu'un coulissement de la clef dans la fente provoque un coulissement du loquet dans la glissière.In one embodiment of the invention, it is possible to provide that the latch has a through-hole shaped to be penetrated by a bit of the key and disposed, in the latch locking position, facing an opening made in the front face of the housing, that the slide has, opposite the latch light in the locking position of the latch, at least one resiliently biased pawl towards a rest position in which it holds the latch in its locking position , that the opening of the front face of the housing is extended by a slot made in this face parallel to the slide, that the bit of the key is shaped to move, once inserted into the light of the latch, each pawl of its rest position, and that the presence of the bit in the latch light binds the key and the latch in translation, which results in a sliding of the key in the slot causes a sliding of latch in the slide.

La fente présente avantageusement une largeur inférieure à celle du panneton, dont les dimensions sont elles-mêmes inférieures à celles de l'ouverture de la face avant du boîtier, de sorte que le panneton, une fois inséré dans la lumière du loquet, ne peut en être extrait qu'à travers l'ouverture de la face avant du boîtier.The slot advantageously has a width smaller than that of the bit, the dimensions of which are themselves smaller than those of the opening of the front face of the case, so that the bit, once inserted into the slot of the latch, can not to be extracted through the opening of the front of the housing.

Le volet est par exemple monté coulissant dans la face avant du boîtier et rappelé vers une position de fermeture par un ressort de rappel.The flap is for example slidably mounted in the front face of the housing and biased towards a closed position by a return spring.

Pour mieux remplir sa fonction, la glissière peut comprendre au moins deux cliquets.To better perform its function, the slide may comprise at least two pawls.

Le loquet présente par exemple une embase et un pêne solidaire de l'embase, la lumière étant pratiquée dans l'embase, et le pêne retenant sélectivement le volet ou la fiche.The latch has for example a base and a bolt secured to the base, the light being formed in the base, and the bolt selectively retaining the flap or plug.

Dans un mode de réalisation possible, la prise est encliquetée sur le boîtier.In one possible embodiment, the socket is snapped onto the housing.

Le relief de retenue de la fiche comprend par exemple une languette élastique servant au maintien de cette fiche dans la prise.The retaining relief of the plug comprises for example an elastic tongue for holding the plug in the socket.

Dans l'application privilégiée du dispositif de branchement de l'invention, la prise est une prise multiconductrice, adaptée au transfert parallèle de données.In the preferred application of the connection device of the invention, the socket is a multicore socket, suitable for parallel data transfer.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après, à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

Comme annoncé précédemment, l'invention concerne un dispositif de branchement à accès sécurisé, comprenant une prise 1, une fiche amovible 2, un boîtier de protection 3, et des organes de verrouillage qui seront détaillés ultérieurement et sur lesquels se concentrent essentiellement les apports de l'invention.As previously announced, the invention relates to a secure access connection device, comprising a socket 1, a removable plug 2, a protective casing 3, and locking members which will be detailed later and on which focus the contributions of the invention.

La fiche amovible 2, visible sur la figure 7, est conçue pour pouvoir être engagée dans la prise 1, elle-même par exemple constituée par une prise multiconductrice, adaptée au transfert parallèle de données.The removable plug 2, visible on the figure 7 , is designed to be engaged in the socket 1, itself for example constituted by a multiconductor outlet, suitable for parallel data transfer.

La prise 1 est logée de manière fixe dans le boîtier 3, par exemple par encliquetage mutuel de cette prise et de ce boîtier.The socket 1 is housed in a fixed manner in the housing 3, for example by mutual snapping of this socket and this housing.

Le boîtier 3, qui présente une face avant 30 dotée d'un volet mobile 4, peut ainsi adopter à volonté une configuration ouverte, dans laquelle le volet 4 est en position ouverte (figures 6 et 7) et autorise l'accès de la fiche 2 à la prise 1, et une configuration fermée, dans laquelle le volet 4 est en position de fermeture (figures 2, 4, et 5) et interdit l'accès de la fiche 2 à la prise 1.The housing 3, which has a front face 30 with a movable flap 4, can thus adopt at will an open configuration, in which the flap 4 is in the open position ( Figures 6 and 7 ) and allows the access of the plug 2 to the socket 1, and a closed configuration, in which the shutter 4 is in the closed position ( figures 2 , 4, and 5 ) and prohibits access from plug 2 to socket 1.

Les organes de verrouillage ont précisément pour fonction d'autoriser ou d'interdire les configurations ouverte et fermée du boîtier 3.The locking members have the precise function of allowing or prohibiting the open and closed configurations of the housing 3.

La figure 7 illustre le dispositif de l'invention dans son état d'utilisation, défini par le fait que le boîtier 3 est en configuration ouverte et que la fiche 2 est engagée dans la prise 1.The figure 7 illustrates the device of the invention in its state of use, defined by the fact that the housing 3 is in open configuration and that the plug 2 is engaged in the socket 1.

Selon l'invention, les organes de verrouillage comprennent essentiellement un loquet mobile 5, une glissière 6, et une clef 7.According to the invention, the locking members essentially comprise a mobile latch 5, a slideway 6, and a key 7.

Le loquet 5 présente par exemple une embase 51 et un pêne 52 solidaire de cette embase 51.The latch 5 has for example a base 51 and a bolt 52 secured to this base 51.

La clef 7 a pour fonction de permettre un coulissement du loquet 5 dans la glissière 6 entre une position de verrouillage (visible aux figures 4, 5, et 7) et une position de déverrouillage (visible à la figure 6), ce coulissement étant interdit par défaut.The key 7 has the function of allowing the latch 5 to slide in the slideway 6 between a locking position (visible at the Figures 4, 5 , and 7 ) and an unlock position (visible at the figure 6 ), this sliding being prohibited by default.

Lorsque le boîtier est dans sa configuration fermée et le loquet 5 dans sa position de verrouillage, le pêne 52 de ce loquet est engagé dans un relief de retenue 41 du volet 4 (figure 5), et maintient donc ce volet 4 dans sa position de fermeture.When the casing is in its closed configuration and the latch 5 in its locking position, the bolt 52 of this latch is engaged in a retaining relief 41 of the flap 4 ( figure 5 ), and thus keeps this flap 4 in its closed position.

Lorsque le boîtier est dans sa configuration ouverte, le loquet 5 dans sa position de verrouillage, et le dispositif dans son état d'utilisation, le pêne 52 du loquet 5 est engagé dans un relief de retenue 21 de la fiche 2 (figure 7), par exemple constitué par la languette élastique qui sert au maintien de cette fiche 2 dans la prise 1.When the housing is in its open configuration, the latch 5 in its locking position, and the device in its state of use, the latch bolt 5 is engaged in a retaining relief 21 of the plug 2 ( figure 7 ), for example constituted by the elastic tongue which serves to maintain this plug 2 in the socket 1.

Dans ces conditions, le pêne 52 du loquet 5 maintient donc la fiche 2 dans sa position d'insertion dans la prise 1, interdisant ainsi l'extraction de cette fiche hors de la prise.Under these conditions, the bolt 52 of the latch 5 thus maintains the plug 2 in its insertion position in the socket 1, thus prohibiting the extraction of this plug out of the socket.

Pour ce faire, l'embase 51 du loquet 5 présente par exemple une lumière traversante 510, qui est conformée pour être pénétrée par un panneton 70 de la clef 7.To do this, the base 51 of the latch 5 has for example a through-light 510, which is shaped to be penetrated by a bit 70 of the key 7.

Dans la position de verrouillage du loquet 5, cette lumière 510 est disposée en regard d'une ouverture 300 pratiquée dans la face avant 30 du boîtier 3 (voir figure 1).In the locking position of the latch 5, this light 510 is disposed facing an opening 300 formed in the front face 30 of the housing 3 (see FIG. figure 1 ).

Comme le montrent les figures 1 et 5, la glissière 6 présente deux cliquets 61a et 61b, dont chacun est élastiquement rappelé vers une position de repos dans laquelle il retient le loquet 5 dans sa position de verrouillage.As shown by figures 1 and 5 , the slide 6 has two pawls 61a and 61b, each of which is elastically biased towards a rest position in which it holds the latch 5 in its locking position.

Chacun de ces cliquets 61a et 61b est disposé en regard de l'ouverture 300 de la face avant 30 du boîtier 3, c'est-à-dire encore en regard de la lumière 510 du loquet 5, dans la position qu'adopte cette lumière pour la position de verrouillage de ce loquet.Each of these pawls 61a and 61b is disposed facing the opening 300 of the front face 30 of the housing 3, that is to say still facing the light 510 of the latch 5, in the position adopted by this light for the locking position of this latch.

Le panneton 70 de la clef 7 est conformé pour pouvoir déplacer les cliquets 61a et 61b de leur position de repos lorsqu'il est inséré dans l'ouverture 300 et poussé dans la lumière 510 du loquet 5.The bit 70 of the key 7 is shaped to be able to move the pawls 61a and 61b of their rest position when it is inserted into the opening 300 and pushed into the light 510 of the latch 5.

Cette ouverture 300 est par ailleurs prolongée par une fente 301, qui est pratiquée dans la face avant 30 du boîtier 3, parallèlement à la glissière 6.This opening 300 is further extended by a slot 301, which is formed in the front face 30 of the housing 3, parallel to the slideway 6.

Comme l'insertion du panneton 70 dans la lumière 510 du loquet 5 lie la clef 7 et le loquet 5 en translation, le coulissement de la clef 7 dans la fente 301 permet alors de faire coulisser le loquet 5 dans la glissière 6 vers sa position de déverrouillage, une fois les cliquets 61a et 61b déplacés de leur position de repos par le panneton 70.As the insertion of the bit 70 in the light 510 of the latch 5 links the key 7 and the latch 5 in translation, the sliding of the key 7 in the slot 301 then makes it possible to slide the latch 5 in the slideway 6 towards its position unlocking, once the pawls 61a and 61b moved from their rest position by the bit 70.

Cet agencement peut être perfectionné en prévoyant que la clef 7 soit prisonnière de la glissière 6 dans la position de déverrouillage du loquet 5, et qu'elle soit librement extractible de cette glissière 6 dans la position de verrouillage du loquet 5.This arrangement can be improved by providing that the key 7 is trapped in the slide 6 in the unlocking position of the latch 5, and that it is freely extractable from this slide 6 in the latch locking position 5.

Pour ce faire, il suffit de donner à la fente 301 une dimension, ou largeur, inférieure à celle du panneton 70 suivant la direction transversale au coulissement du loquet 5, le panneton ayant lui-même bien sûr des dimensions inférieures à celles de l'ouverture 300 de la face avant 30 du boîtier 3 pour pouvoir y être introduit.To do this, it suffices to give the slot 301 a dimension, or width, less than that of the bit 70 in the direction transverse to the sliding of the latch 5, the bit itself having of course dimensions smaller than those of the opening 300 of the front face 30 of the housing 3 to be introduced.

Ainsi, une fois inséré dans la lumière 510 du loquet 5, le panneton 70 ne peut en être extrait qu'à travers l'ouverture 300 de la face avant 30 du boîtier 3.Thus, once inserted in the light 510 of the latch 5, the bit 70 can only be extracted through the opening 300 of the front face 30 of the housing 3.

Enfin, comme le montre notamment la figure 5, le volet 4 est par exemple monté coulissant dans la face avant 30 du boîtier 3 et rappelé vers sa position de fermeture par un ressort de rappel 42.Finally, as shown in particular figure 5 , the flap 4 is for example slidably mounted in the front face 30 of the housing 3 and biased towards its closed position by a return spring 42.

Le mode d'emploi du dispositif de l'invention est le suivant.The instructions for use of the device of the invention is as follows.

Lorsque la prise 1 n'est pas utilisée, le dispositif est dans l'état illustré à la figure 5, le boîtier étant en configuration fermée, et la personne spécifiquement autorisée à utiliser cette prise disposant de la clef 7 de façon exclusive.When socket 1 is not used, the device is in the state shown in FIG. figure 5 , the housing being in a closed configuration, and the person specifically authorized to use this socket having the key 7 exclusively.

Dans cette configuration, le pêne 52 du loquet 5 retient le volet 4 dans sa position de fermeture.In this configuration, the bolt 52 of the latch 5 retains the flap 4 in its closed position.

Lorsque l'utilisateur autorisé de la prise 1 souhaite y engager la fiche 2, il introduit le panneton 70 de la clef 7 dans l'ouverture 300 du boîtier 3, pousse ce panneton dans le fond de la lumière 510 du loquet 5, déplace ainsi les cliquets 61a et 61b de leur position de repos, puis déplace la clef 7 dans la fente 301, entraînant ainsi le loquet vers sa position de déverrouillage illustrée à la figure 6.When the authorized user of the socket 1 wishes to engage the plug 2, he introduces the bit 70 of the key 7 in the opening 300 of the housing 3, pushes this bit in the bottom of the light 510 of the latch 5, and moves the pawls 61a and 61b of their rest position, then moves the key 7 into the slot 301, thus causing the latch to its unlocking position illustrated in FIG. figure 6 .

L'utilisateur autorisé de la prise 1 peut alors engager la fiche 2 dans la prise 1, la clef 7 étant toujours prisonnière dans la fente 301.The authorized user of the socket 1 can then engage the plug 2 in the socket 1, the key 7 still being trapped in the slot 301.

Puis, cet utilisateur replace le loquet 5 dans sa position de verrouillage en déplaçant la clef 7 dans cette fente 301 jusqu'en regard de l'ouverture 300.Then, this user puts the latch 5 in its locking position by moving the key 7 in this slot 301 to the aperture 300.

L'utilisateur peut alors retirer sa clef 7, laissant le dispositif dans sa configuration d'utilisation telle qu'illustrée à la figure 7, et dans laquelle le pêne 52 du loquet 5 interdit l'extraction de la fiche 2 hors de la prise 1.The user can then remove his key 7, leaving the device in its configuration of use as illustrated in FIG. figure 7 and in which the bolt 52 of the latch 5 prohibits the extraction of the plug 2 out of the socket 1.
