Definitions

  • the invention relates to a socket for electrical connection with a plug or the like, and constituting the base of a socket or the mobile socket of an extension cable or a connector.
  • a socket outlet provided with several contacts arranged in housings formed in a support along a circumference, one of them being however central, while at least one safety disc made of insulating material pivotally mounted on the contact support coaxially to the circumference of the contacts, is provided with openings intended to be crossed by the contacts of the plug and is arranged so as to be rotated by the plug to pass from a position initial in which the housings of the circumferential contacts are at least largely closed at a connection position at the end of rotation which uncovers at least some of said contact housings.
  • the devices mentioned above relate more specifically to socket outlets, but we can of course generalize to other electrical connection systems, as mentioned above, such as a mobile socket of an electrical connector (provided for mate with the base of the connector, the contact members of which are generally similar to those of a plug) or the mobile socket of an extension cable (designed to mate with a plug), hence the more general expression used plug.
  • a mobile socket of an electrical connector provided for mate with the base of the connector, the contact members of which are generally similar to those of a plug
  • the mobile socket of an extension cable designed to mate with a plug
  • It is generally a socket with multiple contacts intended to be coupled with a plug or the like provided with contacts in the form of pins.
  • the shutter is mounted to move radially in the support, while the combined drive means are in the form of a drive lug provided under the safety disc and an oblique groove formed in the shutter so that the rotation of the disc causes a radial translational movement of the shutter and makes it possible to pass from a position for closing the central housing to a release position and vice versa.
  • the oblique groove has at least one of its ends, a small extension in the direction of the rotary movement to tolerate a small play in the rotation of the safety disc, without action on the translational movement. shutter.
  • the shutter is movably mounted in a radial groove of the contact support which opens above or in the upper part of the housing of the central contact.
  • the shutter is in the form of a bar mounted freely in rotation at one of its ends, in the vicinity of the peripheral circumference of the contact support, while it has at its other end a groove or lumen, for example axial and oblong intended to cooperate with a lug fitted under the safety disk, said lug and said light constituting the shutter drive means in such a way that a rotation of the safety disc causes a rotation of the shutter in the form of a bar and makes it possible to pass from 'A closed position of the central housing by the middle part of the bar, in a release position and vice versa and according to one feature, the middle part of the bar-shaped shutter has a bulge.
  • the socket outlet shown comprises in known manner an insulating support 1 provided in particular with housings such as 2 for ejection springs intended to urge an ejection and locking washer 3, and several housings in the form of wells 4a to 4e, of which here four, 4a to 4d, are arranged substantially on one circumference and another 4th centrally.
  • the contacts provided in the circumferential housings are, for example, the phase contacts and the neutral, while the central housing is more particularly intended to receive the earth contact.
  • the base shown also comprises a safety disk 5 and an additional disk 6, known as a coding disk, between which a coding pawl 7 is provided here.
  • the discs 5 and 6 are mounted on the support 1 by means, for example, of a ferrule 8.
  • a shutter 9 is provided between the support 1 and the safety disk 5.
  • the discs 5 and 6 are provided with lights 10a to 10d and respectively 11a to 11d corresponding to the locations of the housings 4a to 4d of the support 1 so as to be able, by rotation of the discs, to juxtapose said lights with said housings.
  • the discs 5 and 6 hide and protect in the rest position the housings 4a to 4d and therefore the contacts which they contain, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the complementary coding disc 6 is not compulsory and corresponds to an embodiment which allows in particular by locking in various relative positions with the safety disc 5 by means of the pawl 7, to use the same base for several types of current, as already said in connection with the patent FR 2 680 608 already cited.
  • discs 5 and 6 have a central aperture respectively 10th and 11th for the passage of the ground contact of the plug.
  • the shutter 9, as shown in FIG. 1, is slidably mounted radially in a corresponding groove 12 in the support 1 which opens into or above the housing 4e.
  • said shutter has a projection 13 intended to slide in a corresponding groove 14 of the support 1.
  • said shutter is provided with a rounded protuberance 15 and an oblique groove or slot 16.
  • the shutter 9 can pass from a position in which it releases the 4th housing or on the contrary, it closes it.
  • the disc 5 has a lug 17 not visible in Figures 1 and 2 but visible in Figures 3 to 5, intended to come into the groove 16 of the shutter.
  • the combined effect of the lug 17 of the disc 5 and the oblique groove 16 of the shutter is similar to a cam effect which transforms the rotary movement of the discs into translational movement said shutter.
  • the groove 16 of the shutter 9 has at one of its ends (but it could have another, symmetrical from the first to its other end), an extension 18 in the direction of rotary movement to tolerate a small play in the rotation of the safety disc 5, without action on the translational movement of said shutter 9 and thus avoid inadvertent movement of the latter for small movements of the discs.
  • FIG. 3 and its enlarged detail of FIG. 4 clearly shows a rest position in which the shutter 9 closes the entry of the housing 4e of the support 1.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show another embodiment whose elements of the same nature as those previously described have the same references but with an accent.
  • the shutter 9 ′ is in the form of a bar articulated so as to rotate freely at one of its ends 19, while its other end has an oblong groove or slot 16 ′ in the 'axis of the bar, intended to cooperate with a lug of the disc 5', whose position has been shown in 17 'on the latter (position also shown schematically in the lumen 16' of the shutter).
  • the oblong opening 16 'could be provided on the side of the articulation end 19.
  • the middle part of the shutter 9 ′ has a rounded protuberance or bulge 15 ′ intended to close off the central housing 4e of the support 1 ′, as shown in FIG. 6, the openings 10 ′ to 10 ′ and 11 ′ a at 11′e of the disks 5 and respectively 6 not being, for this position, in alignment with the housings 4 ′ a to 4 ′ of the support 1 ′.
  • the support 1 or 1 ′ can be that of a socket outlet, but also that of a mobile socket provided for connecting either to a connector socket or to an extension plug, hence the general expression used, as already said, socket, while also generalizing the plug which can therefore constitute the base of a connector.
