Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hermaphrodite connector of safety, closed by masking the contacts, and intended including power transmission.
  • a hermaphrodite electrical connector is consisting of two connector parts, movable plug and base, strictly identical. Such a limit connector therefore the number of connector parts in storage per continuation of the identity of the base and the plug and protects the corresponding plug parts, applied one on the other, the risk of fouling.
  • the power transmission at a voltage greater than 48 volts requires contact safety masking.
  • a connector is proposed according to the invention electric hermaphrodite safety, especially for the power transmission, consisting of two parts of identical connectors, connected to each other in service, characterized in that it comprises for each part of connector at least one electrical contact disposed in the median plane of the connector, and a shutter flap of the contact, protecting the contact from intrusion, and opening when the connector parts are plugged in.
  • the plug-in is obtained by presenting the parts of opposite connector, oriented 180 ° from each other.
  • Said shutter is advantageously rotatably mounted at the front of said contact, being shaped and rotated so adequate so that it closes the access of the contact in position out of service and makes it accessible for plugging in.
  • the contact is preferably a mounted end contact movable and recalled forward, axially, and likewise the shutter can be mounted movable axially recalled forward, so that when plugging in after opening of the shutter, the latter is driven backwards through the other connector part for allow contacting with pressure of said contacts opposite the connector parts.
  • the shutter is movably mounted in rotation, axially, in a movable block mounted sliding axially in the body and recalled forward.
  • the axial stroke of the movable block or flap shutter is greater than that of the contact (the offset of rear positioning of the contact relative to the block or shutter).
  • the connector body has a path for guidance, for example with lugs and complementary grooves, guiding the insertion and extraction of the parts of connector, one with respect to the other, the plug being lockable in position by a hooking device manually releasable and projecting the extraction of the parts connector when disconnected, to limit any phenomenon electric arc at contact breakage.
  • the electrical connector hermaphrodite according to the invention consists of two identical connector parts 1 and 1 ', intended to be plugged into each other, opposite each other by their front part.
  • One of the parts can be mobile and constitute the plug part of the connector and the other constitute the part base.
  • the plugging is carried out following a first movement transverse then a second axial movement (according to arrows), the lateral pins 3 of the front skirt 5 of one of the connector parts 1 'being engaged in grooves additional 7 'L-shaped from the other part of connector 1 'and vice versa for pins 3' in the S grooves 7.
  • the locking of the plug-in is obtained at the end with two opposite external hooks 9 and 9 'whose nose 10, 10' on one of the parts engages in a respective complementary projecting part 11 ′, 11 on the other (see Figure 7).
  • Each connector part has a body 13 essentially rectangular parallelepiped, provided with a front skirt 5, a front movable block 15, a side hook 9, pins internal contacts 17 and a connected rear cap part 19 to electrically conductive cables 21.
  • the front skirt 5 extends on one side of the body 13, that of greater width, being cut with a section in U, comprising the lateral hook 9 at its front end and two lateral pins 3 for guiding the plugging, fixed on its wings.
  • the movable block 15 is mounted to slide axially in a complementary recess before 23 of the body, being recalled forward by means of four springs 25 each mounted in a rear corner sleeve 27 of the block.
  • the lateral hook 9 is articulated on the wall upper part of the skirt, being recalled by its pusher part rear 29 up, in the grip direction on the other connector part.
  • the contact pins 17, three in number, are also slidably mounted axially in the body 13, passing through it and the movable block 15 by holes of adequate aligned holes 31, being recalled forward by helical springs 33 supported in drums complementary 35 back of a body bottom plate and on a middle flange 37 of pin 17.
  • the pins 17 are arranged in a longitudinal median plane P.
  • the rear cap part 19 carries screw sockets wire clamp 39, at the rear of which the cables are fixed conductors 21.
  • the sockets 39 have in their sleeve before internal cells 41, which receive with electrical contact link contact pins electric 17, mounted sliding inside by their rear part (see figures 6, 7).
  • a flexible peripheral seal 43 fixed by means of a clamp 45 is arranged on the front part of the body, at the level of the movable block.
  • This seal 43 applied to the top edge of the front recess 23 of the body is intended to bear with sealing ( Figure 7) on the corresponding seal 43 'of the other connector part in the inserted state.
  • This movable block 15 has three holes 31 of passage of the contact pins 17 in the inserted position, a upper front hook 47, and a lower recess 49 at the vertical of the hook 47.
  • the hook 47 of a movable block 15 of a connector part 1 is intended to penetrate insertion (during the first transverse movement) into the corresponding recess 49 'of the movable block 15' on the other connector part 1 '. In doing so, it leads to the opening (FIG. 5) a shutter flap 51 of the pins contact, rotatably mounted axially inside the block mobile and recalled when closing ( Figure 4) by means of a spiral spring 53 (visible in Figure 6).
  • connector The operation of the connector is now described. he is to present face to face the two parts of connector 1 and 1 'oriented 180 ° from each other, engage the lateral pins 3 and 3 'of the opposite skirts 5 and 5 'in the guide grooves 7' and 7 of the body, respectively, to exercise the first transverse movement transverse insertion, where the shutter flap 51 opens then to exert at manual pressure the second axial movement of plugging in at the end of which it is brought into contact end to end and in electrical connection the contact pins 17 and 17 '.
  • Disconnection is obtained in reverse by pressing the two pushers 29, 29 'of the hooks 9, 9' simultaneously. There is then a first extraction in axial projection automatic exerted on the grooves 7, 7 'of axial guide bodies, under the thrust essentially one against the other of the movable blocks 15, 15 'biased forward. And in a second step, we separate the parts transversely connector unlike the first plug-in movement.
  • Variant embodiments can be imagined in the scope of the invention, for example as to the mode of guiding the connector parts to each other, the number of contacts, the possibility of having a mobile component without movable block, the possibility of translating the flap shutter in the movable block masking the contacts, the connector locking etc.
