Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for connecting an electric conductor to an electric device, and, in particular, to a connector, through which electricity is supplied to the electric device.
  • connection point of the electric device is a terminating one, i.e. at the connection point there is no need to branch supply to other devices. Because no branching is made at the connection point, this solution allows reduction in the number of components. Thus, material savings are achieved.
  • the cable detached from the electric device and the relating connector may be live, i.e. connected to the power supply network, which has to be considered in the structure of the connector, so that a risk of an electric shock may be eliminated.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problem and to provide a new connector, which enables simple, safe and cost-effective electric connection of electric devices. This is achieved by a connector in accordance with independent claim 1.
  • the connector By means of cable securing parts the connector may be secured directly to an electric cable without extra parts.
  • a spacer and a blocking plate it is made sure that there is no access to electric contacts of the connector before the connector is reliably secured to a connector counterpart. In this manner connecting becomes simple, safe and cost-effective.
  • Figure 1 is an explosion view of a first embodiment of a connector 1, and in Figures 2 and 3 the connector 1 is seen in a first state, where it is not connected to a counterpart of the connector 1.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of an assembled connector, seen obliquely, and
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the connector 1.
  • the connector 1 includes a body 2, wherefrom project electric contacts 3.
  • the body also includes a cable securing part 4, which in this example consists of parts which are arranged on opposite sides of the electric cable and whose mutual distance, and consequently pressing force exerted on the cable, is adjustable by means of screws 5.
  • the cable securing part 4 it is thus possible to implement effective strain relief for the cable.
  • the cable securing part may consist of a body 2 and a cover 26 attachable thereto, between which the cable is pressed when the cover is secured to place. Securing of the cover 26 may be carried out by screws, for instance.
  • the connector 1 also includes conductor securing parts 22 for receiving individual conductors of the electric cable and for connecting them to the electric contacts 3.
  • the conductor securing parts 22 are implemented by securing screws 26, which press the conductors arranged in the conductor securing parts 22 against the walls of the conductor securing parts 22 in order to provide electrical contact.
  • the conductor securing parts may consist of spring connectors or clamp connectors, for instance.
  • a spacer 6 whose side 7 facing away from the body 2 is provided with openings 8 for electric contacts 3.
  • the spacer is movable between a detached position and an attached position.
  • the spacer 6 is seen in the detached position, where it is when the connector 1 is not attached to the counterpart of the connector 1.
  • the electric contacts 3 are in a space defined by the body and the spacer 6, i.e. they do not project from the openings 8 on the side 7 of the spacer.
  • the connector 1 also includes a blocking plate 9, which is movable between a blocking position and a connecting position.
  • the blocking position the openings are offset in relation to the electric contacts 3, i.e. even though the body 2 and the spacer 6 are pressed against one another to make the spacer shift from the detached position to the attached position, the electric contacts are not able to penetrate through the openings 10 in the blocking plate 9, but the electric contacts 3 hit the blocking plate.
  • the blocking plate 9 is moved to the connecting position, the openings 10 in the blocking plate 9 are in alignment with the electric contacts 3 such that pressing the body 2 and the spacer 6 towards one another to make the spacer 6 shift to the attached position makes the electric contacts 3 penetrate through the openings in the blocking plate 9.
  • the electric contacts 3 project from the connector 1 and they may form electrical contact with corresponding contacts in the counterpart of the connector.
  • Figure 1 also shows a projection 24 from the blocking plate 9, which projection goes through an opening 8 on the side 7 when the connector 1 is assembled.
  • the blocking plate is transferrable between the blocking position and the connecting position in a manner to be described later.
  • the body, spacer and blocking plate of the connector may be made of a suitable isolating material, such as plastic.
  • the electric contacts and the conductor securing parts connected thereto may be made of a suitable electrically conductive metal alloy.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a counterpart of the connector 1 applicable for being utilized together with the connector 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 and 5 to 6 .
  • the counterpart 21 of the connector is attached to an electric device 11 that may be an illuminator, for instance. In this manner, electricity can be supplied to the illuminator by means of the connector.
  • the counterpart 21 includes a part inside the electric device, which part comprises conductor securing parts 12 for receiving the electric conductors by which the internal circuitry of the electric device is implemented.
  • said conductor securing parts 12 are spring clips. Projections 12 having electric contacts 14 for receiving the electric contacts 3 of the connector 1 project from the counterpart 21 outside of the electric device through the openings in the electric device.
  • the connector 1 In order to attach and electrically connect the connector to the counterpart 21 the connector 1 is first set on the projections 13 of the counterpart 21. At the same time, a hook 15 (or hooks) in the body of the connector penetrates into an opening 23 in the electric device 11. In the example of Figure 4 , a projection 24 of the blocking plate 9, which is in the blocking position, penetrates into an opening 25 in the middle projection 13 of the counterpart 21.
  • the openings 8 on the side 7 facing away from the body 2 of the connector 1 are designed to have such dimensions that in this situation the connector 1 may be moved laterally along the surface of the device 11.
  • the blocking plate 9 By the effect of this lateral movement the blocking plate 9, whose projection 24 is engaged in the opening 25 of the projection 13, remains in place with respect to the electric device 11, whereas other parts of the connector 1 move in the lateral direction. By the effect of the lateral movement the blocking plate 9 moves in the connector 1 from the original blocking position to the connecting position. So the openings 10 in the blocking plate 9 are placed in alignment with the electric contacts 3 of the connector 1.
  • pins 16 projecting from the body will also be aligned with openings 17 in the counterpart 21.
  • the body 2 may be pressed towards the spacer 6 and the electric device 11, whereby the openings 10 in the blocking plate 9 allow the electric contacts 3 to penetrate out of the connector 1 and further into the electric contacts 14 in the projections 13.
  • the pins 16 also penetrate into the openings 17 in the counterpart 21.
  • the connector 1 will be attached to the counterpart 21. Thanks to the lateral movement the hook 5 or hooks have moved in the openings 23 to a position, in which they grip the electric device 11. This enhances the attachment of the connector 1 to the electric device.
  • Figures 5 and 6 illustrate the connector of Figure 1 in the second state.
  • Figure 5 is a side view of an assembled connector 1, seen obliquely, and
  • Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the connector 1.
  • Figure 5 also shows an electric cable 18 that is attached to the connector 1 for providing power supply to the electric device 11 through the connector 1.
  • the body 2 and the spacer 6 include gripping parts 19 and 20, which, the spacer 6 being in the attached position, interlock the body 2 and the spacer 6 thus preventing their mutual movement.
  • the gripping part 19 of the body 2 may consist of a hook, for instance, and the gripping part 20 of the spacer may consist of a shoulder, whereby the hook grips the shoulder, when the body and the spacer are pressed against one another such that the spacer shifts to the attached position. By bending the hook the gripping parts 19 and 20 may be detached from one another when it is time to remove the connector 1 from the counterpart 21.
  • the openings 8 on the side 7 of the connector 1 may be coded such that the connector 1 is connectable only to a correct counterpart 21.
  • the attachment of the connector 1 to the counterpart 21 will not succeed.
