Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of electrical connectors, consisting of a fixed base and a movable plug, made of insulating material, and supporting both of the contact elements made of conductive material, the shape of which complementary ensures, by mutual penetration during insertion, the desired electrical connection.
  • Such connectors are widely used, but their use in certain areas of operation, such as telephone exchanges for example, entails special requirements, such as the guiding of the plug relative to the socket during the 'manual insertion operation, associated with a locking thereof at the end of this operation.
  • a second difficulty results therefrom, linked to the existence of the locking device itself, the short distances between plugs making manual access and complicated unlocking, a preliminary operation which was shown above to be necessary.
  • connection base consisting of a fixed base and a movable plug, not having these drawbacks. It comprises means carried respectively by the two parts of the base, which easily allow simultaneous manual unlocking and gripping, for juxtaposed connectors with very reduced mutual distances; in addition, according to one of the embodiments of the invention, the means carried by the base particularly suitable for being fixed in the existing channel on the connectors of the type indicated above; in addition, a second set of means can be used, in combination with the first, ensuring guiding of the movable plug during plugging in, particularly advantageous in the case where the large quantities of close connectors make this operation difficult, or in one where the bases are not very accessible, which is particularly the case in the so-called "backplane" circuits.
  • the invention exploits the presence of the lateral channel of the base to make it a simple element for fixing the strike plate of a lock, the corresponding bolt being carried by an elastic lever fixed on the movable plug;
  • the fundamental characteristic of the invention is that the region of the housing of the movable plug suitable for manual gripping for extraction is precisely merged with this bolt-carrying lever.
  • connection base for electrical circuits, comprising on the one hand a fixed base and a movable plug both provided with conductive elements of complementary shape making the connection, and on the other hand, a device for locking the plug on the base, the connection and disconnection of the circuits being obtained respectively, by manual action on gripping surfaces carried by the movable plug, base characterized in that the unlocking control member consists of one of the gripping surfaces.
  • FIG. 1 represents a known connection base, of the "inverted DIN male” model, equipped with a locking device for the mobile plug of known type.
  • the base consists of a fixed part or base 1, of parallelepiped shape and of a movable plug 2, both carrying conductive contacts such as 3 and 4, realizing the electrical transmission between the wires, such as 5 and 6, circuits to be connected.
  • the base 1 is parallelepipedic, and has an open access face 7 to allow plugging in, one of the edges of which has a protruding rim 8 in which a channel 9 has been made opening out on each side thereof.
  • This channel is intended, as explained above, to receive a lock, in the form of an elastic band or blade, one end 10 of which is designed to be inserted therein and fixed therein, thanks to the harpoon 11 and bearing pins such that 12.
  • the other end 13 is provided with a bolt 14.
  • the movable plug 2 is, for its part, provided with a strike 15. When plugging in, the bolt 14 enters the strike 15, and the locking is achieved.
  • Such a base has the drawbacks described in detail above, namely the need for two separate steps during de-plugging, and the risk of accidental unlocking by tilting the movable plug in the direction of the bolt away from the striker. .
  • FIG. 2 shows another known embodiment of the locking system, fitted to a base of the "inverted DIN male” model.
  • the base 1 comprises the known channel 9, which in this case is implemented, by its lower face, as a strike for the lock 20, the bolt of which is carried by a pivoting lever 21 secured to the movable plug 2.
  • Locking takes place by the elasticity of the articulation 23, and the unlocking is controlled by the action of a slide 24, carrying at one end an inclined plane 25 cooperating with an inclined plane 26 carried by the latch 20, and at the other end a data entry plate 27.
  • the lock can be locked in the locked position by pressing one of its parts 28 with a locking hook 29 carried by the slide.
  • the device ensures the transmission of the unlocking command above the mobile plug, which is useful in telephone exchanges, but on the other hand always requires two separate steps to unlock.
  • the lower edge 30 As indicated above, the lower edge 30. Of the edge of the base 1 degrades quickly after a few plugs, and the base itself must be replaced.
  • FIG. 3 represents a first embodiment of the base according to the invention.
  • the channel 9 of the base serves as a fixing receptacle for the static part of a lock 32, comprising two strikes 33 and 34.
  • the fixing is carried out as in FIG. 1, by a harpoon 11 and bearing faces such as 35.
  • the movable plug 2 carries the movable part of the lock, consisting of bolts 36 and 37 fixed to the end of a pivoting lever 38, the elasticity of which at the pivot point 49 ensures the locking between the bolts 36 and 37 and the strikes 33 and 34 when plugged in.
  • the lever 38 is disposed in a region of the plug, namely one of the side faces 39 of the housing, where manual gripping requires, during extraction, to exert pressure; the face chosen is that of one of the long sides. This unlocking takes place under these conditions, simultaneously with the extraction, the lever 38 thus advantageously assuming the two functions of unlocking member and gripping surface for the extraction of the plug.
  • Figure 4 shows a variant of the embodiment of the base according to the invention, particularly well suited to the case where a large number of bases are arranged side by side with their long sides pa parallel, and with short distances preventing the introduction of fingers between two of them for manual gripping.
  • the reference numbers being the same as those in FIG. 3, the lock is, in this case, fixed on a small side 40, allowing by manual gripping along the short sides of the housing 40 and 41, grooved for better grip of the fingers , extracting the plug with simultaneous unlocking.
  • a second locking system can be produced on the second face of the short side 41, giving the set of strikes and the two bolts a completely symmetrical structure.
  • FIG. 5 shows, according to two variants, a second embodiment of the connection base of the invention, in the case where the bases are used in large numbers in equipment, with very short distances, also between the long sides as well as between the short sides.
  • the introduction of the fingers between two bases for manual gripping is then made impossible.
  • a lock is implemented, the static or strike part of which is carried by a strike holder 51, the length of which, counted in the direction of insertion, is made greater than the height of the movable plug 2.
  • the active part bolt holder of the bolt in the form of a lever 52, pivoting elastically. at 53, is itself carried at the end of a support 54 surmounting the housing, the length of which, counted in the direction of insertion, is chosen sufficient to allow easy gripping on the surfaces 55 and 56, grooved for better grip of the fingers.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 correspond to the case where the direction of the pivot axis is respectively parallel and perpendicular to the long load-bearing side of the channel 9 of the base of the base.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 represent a variant of the embodiments of FIGS. 5 and 6, making the keeper 51 assume an additional function guide, that of the plug guide during insertion.
  • the plug carries, vis-à-vis the keeper, complementary members in the form of a slide such as 71 and 72, cooperating by sliding with the keeper 51; chamfers such as 63 and 64 facilitate placement.
  • connection bases while being extremely close together, are furthermore arranged in the bottom of deep chassis, for example of those of the so-called "backplane" type.
  • the role of the plug-in guide thus assumed by the same means as that which participates in the locking and unlocking of the movable plug, thus provides, in a manner which is not evident from the state of the art, a set of results contributing to a common goal of improved operational efficiency and reduction in manufacturing costs.
