Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a connection element, such as a base, for a bayonet connector. More specifically, the invention relates to the assembly of lugs participating in the bayonet system of the connector on the main body of the corresponding connection element.
  • the plug is provided with a locking ring fixed in translation and adapted to be locked on the outer wall of the complementary base when the connection between the contacts of the plug and the contacts of the base is made.
  • the main body of the base is itself provided with lugs projecting radially outwardly from the outer wall of the base. These lugs are intended to cooperate with grooves dug in the inner wall of the locking ring. At the end of locking of the ring around the base, the lugs open into holes formed at the ends of the grooves, in order to make the locking of the plug and the irreversible base, or at the very least to make the unlocking unintentional impossible.
  • bayonet locking device is of great interest from the point of view of the speed of locking. It is therefore widely used in many fields, such as that of civil or military aeronautics, or any other application in a severe environment.
  • the lugs on the body of the base are known.
  • the lugs can be cut in the mass. They are then made of the same material as the body of the base and have the mechanical characteristics of this material.
  • the lugs being wear parts, when the body is light alloy, the wear resistance is then less than when the body is stainless steel. Otherwise, the lugs can be reported mechanically and, in this case, they can be in a different material, including stainless steel, to meet the wear requirements.
  • the body of the base must, however, be treated to resist corrosion. Such treatment consists of more often in a protective layer, applied by chemical or electrolytic deposition or electroplating. This protective layer allows such a connector to withstand various environmental hazards and, in particular, to withstand humid environments by eliminating the risk of corrosion or rust.
  • connection element for bayonet connector such as a base
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a connection element for bayonet connector, provided with lugs, and which is able to withstand mechanical stresses especially at the area of connection with the lugs, whatever the nature coating that can cover said connecting element.
  • the invention proposes to flatten, for example by countersinking, the surface bordering the open end of the orifices provided on the wall of the connecting element and intended to receive the lugs. More specifically, according to the invention, the burrs on the external surface of the connection element, consecutive to the piercing and bordering the corresponding orifice, are removed, or at least driven outwards, so that the surface external of the connection element has a flat surface, without asperities or bosses, at least facing the head of the pin that will come into contact with it. Indeed, when piercing the wall of the body of the connecting element, there is a material reflux forming a ring of material around the open end of the orifice obtained.
  • the head of the lug then comes into contact with a flat and smooth surface, which makes it possible to limit the mechanical stresses between the lug head and the external surface of the connection element.
  • the wall of the connecting element bordering the orifice may be planed to form a convex rounding and to eliminate any sharp edge between the surface plane bordering the orifice and the orifice proper. The presence of this rounding at the orifice makes it easier to introduce the lug and to avoid having a sharp circular imperfection between the orifice and the bottom of the countersink.
  • a sharp angle intersection may have fine machining burrs that weaken the protection covering the part.
  • the thickness of the deposited layer is difficult to control in this intersection because of the peak effect.
  • the fact of making a rounding, or at least chamfering this intersection eliminates the risk of over-thickness and thus burrs during the anti-corrosion deposit. This smooths the contact area between the shoulder of the lug, at the junction between the head of the lug and the body of said lug, and the wall of the connecting element.
  • the body of the connection element can be made by molding or machining. It has a cylindrical through hole extending along the longitudinal axis of said body, and opening at both ends of said body. This orifice is intended to receive an insulator also cylindrical in which extend along the longitudinal axis of the contacts of the connection element.
  • flat surface is meant a surface that does not have defects or irregularities in surfaces, such as bosses, asperities, etc.
  • the outer surface of the connecting element is hollowed, so that the flat surface ring is set back from the rest of the outer surface of the connection element,
  • the operations a) to c) are repeated for each of the lugs to be mounted on the wall of the connection element.
  • steps a) and b) simultaneously, by means of any known tool, notably allowing the simultaneous drilling and counterboring of the wall.
  • the lug is inserted into force in the corresponding bore, whose diameter is at best equal to the diameter of the pin, so as to meet the mechanical requirements and functional constraints to allow the lugs to perform their functions.
  • convex connection radius means a junction area between two surfaces, not having a sharp edge.
  • the convex connection radius may consist of a round, but also a chamfered surface.
  • the convex connection radius is produced on the wall of the body of the connection element so that it is strictly greater than a concave connection radius at the junction between the head and the body of the lug to be inserted into the corresponding hole.
  • the flat surface formed around the bore has a diameter at least equal to the diameter of the head of the lug to pass through said bore.
  • the method according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to apply an anti-corrosion protection on the external surface of the wall of the connection element after having made the bore, and before having inserted the pin into said bore, while guaranteeing the integrity of the anticorrosive surface.
  • connection element for a bayonet connector comprising a hollow cylindrical main body, intended to receive electrical or optical contacts, a connection portion of the main body, intended to be connected to a complementary connection element, comprising at least one at least one through bore for receiving a lug projecting radially outwardly from the outer surface of the wall of the main body, characterized in that it has a flattened surface ring hollowed from the outer surface of the wall, said flattened surface ring surrounding at least one through bore for receiving a lug.
  • FIG. 1 On the figure 1 is represented a bayonet connector base 1 provided with three pins 4 (only two visible on the figure 1 ).
  • the base 1 is provided with a main body 2, a connection end 3 carries the lugs or protuberances 4 of the bayonet system.
  • the lugs 4 extend on an outer perimeter of the main body 2.
  • the lugs protrude outwardly from the outer surface 10 of the wall 5 of said main body 2, in order to cooperate with a locking ring provided with complementary orifices (not shown).
  • the main body 2 of the base 1 is provided with an insert 6 extending longitudinally in the hollow body of the main body 2, said insert 6 being provided with four longitudinal housings 7 in which contacts are intended to extend.
  • FIG. figure 2 there can be seen an enlargement of a protuberance 4 of a base as described in FIG. figure 1 which has been put in place according to the method of the invention.
  • the figure 3 represents the same enlargement in cross section.
  • the lug 4 protrudes from the outer surface 10 of the wall 5 of the main body 2 of the base 1. More specifically, the lug 4 passes through the wall 5, so that the body 13 of said lug is less partially accommodated in a through-orifice 12 formed in said wall 5, and in such a way that the head 8 of said lug 4 projects from the outer surface 10 of said wall 5.
  • a flattened surface ring 11, or flat surface ring, is hollowed from the outer surface 10 of the wall 5 and surrounds the head 8 of the lug 4.
  • the diameter D of the flattened surface ring 11 is strictly greater than the diameter d of the head 8 of the lug 4.
  • the flattened surface ring 11 has a perfectly smooth surface, without roughness, roughness or other surface defects.
  • the flattened surface ring 11 being hollowed from the outer surface 10 of the wall 5, a part of the head 8 of the lug 4 is set back relative to the outer surface 10 of said wall 5.
  • the height h of the housing formed by the flattened surface ring 11 is small relative to the height H of the lug head 8, so that it can cooperate with the grooves of the locking ring to be mounted around the base 1.
  • the height refers to the dimension extending radially from the wall of the base.
  • the flattened surface ring 11 can be obtained, in particular by counterboring or machining, simultaneously or subsequently with the drilling of the through orifice 12 formed in the wall 5 of the main body 2 of the base 1 and intended to receive the body 13 of the the lug 4.
  • the through bore 12 is formed radially in the wall 5 of the main body 2 of the base 1, and thus opens by a first end 15 at the outer surface 10 of said wall 5, and by a second end 18, opposite at the first, at an inner surface 17 of said wall 5.
  • the inner surface 17 borders the cylindrical orifice 9 of the base 1.
  • the diameter d of the head 8 of the lug 4 is strictly greater than the diameter of the through bore 12, so that the head 8 of the lug 4 rests on the flattened surface ring 11.
  • the shoulder 14 corresponding to the connection between the head 8 and the cylindrical body 13 of the lug 4 rests against the flattened surface ring 11.
  • the surface on which the shoulder 14 rests is perfectly flat, thus reducing the mechanical stresses.
  • a convex connection radius R2 is provided at the intersection between the flat surface of the ring 11, and the first end 15 of the bore 12. This avoids having a sharp intersection between the edge of the bore 12 and the angle of the shoulder 14
  • This convex connection radius R2 facilitates the introduction of the cylindrical body 13 of the lug 4 which, often, must be mounted in force in the bore 12.
  • the presence of this convex connecting radius R2 also reduces the risks embrittlement of an optionally deposited coating on the outer surface 10 of the wall 5.
  • the shoulder 14 of the lug 4 has a concave connection radius R1 at the junction between the lower flat surface 19 of the head 8, intended to rest against the flattened surface ring 11 , and the cylindrical portion 13 of said lug 4, which reduces the mechanical stresses at the level of the contact zone between the head 8 of the lug 4 and the external surface 10 of the wall 5 of the base. 1.
  • the convex connection radius R2 of the bore 12 is strictly greater than the concave connection radius R1 of the lug 4.
  • connection radius R2 equal to 0.05 cm, plus or minus 0.005 cm, is preferably chosen for a lug of dimensions between 0.15 and 0.30 cm, provided always that the convex connection radius R2 is strictly greater than concave connection radius R1.
  • convex connection radius R2 of very low value, makes it possible to retain the largest possible bearing surface at the flattened surface ring 11, for the head 8 of the lug 7.
  • the outer surface 10 of the wall 5 is covered with a protective coating against corrosion, or the like.
  • the deposition of this coating can be achieved by any known means and in particular by chemical deposition, electrolytic or electroplating. According to the invention, this deposit is advantageously made once the through bores 12 made on the outer wall 5 of the base 1, and before the introduction of the lugs 4 in the corresponding bores 12.
  • the rear end 16 of the body 13 of the lug 4 protrudes from the inner surface 17 of the wall 5. It is thus possible to crimp the rear end 16 on the inner surface 17 of the wall 5, so as to guarantee the holding in position of the lug 4 even in case of very strong stresses.
