Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flat conductor ribbon connector, including flexible light ribbons.
- Light ribbons comprising light-emitting diodes distributed over their length are already known, for example by US5337225 or US2005180162 .
- the ribbon comprises round-section conductor wires embedded in a support made of polymeric material, in which the diodes are also encased.
- the light ribbons covered by the invention differ from the ribbons of the above-mentioned document in that they consist of a flexible printed circuit supporting electroluminescent diodes, usually called LEDs, with high brightness.
- the ribbon comprises an insulating support of flexible plastic material on which electrically conductive parallel tracks are formed.
- the tracks are generally coated in the plastic material which ensures their electrical insulation, but they appear locally naked in areas spaced evenly along the ribbon to allow the electrical connection of the LEDs on these tracks, or to allow the electrical connection two ribbons between them.
- the ribbon may comprise two conductive tracks for single two-way tapes, or several tracks, for example four, for multi-path systems.
- Such light ribbons one side of which may be self-adhesive for ease of application, may be used for markup, accent lighting, decoration, etc.
- these ribbons are relatively little used for reasons of complexity installation. A major difficulty comes from the fact that these ribbons are usually connected by welding, which makes their use difficult.
- Connectors have already been proposed to allow easier connection of end-to-end conductive ribbons.
- Such connectors generally use electrical connection strips comprising pointed pins which punch the conductive wires, or V-shaped pins which fit on the electrically conductive wires transversely, the pressure movement which must be exerted on the said bars causing the piercing of the insulation of the conducting wire.
- These latter systems are known essentially for flexible plies of several wire conductors of round section, as described in FR2257158 , US4027941 , or US4415215 for example.
- the implementation of the connector requires that the two conductor elements to be connected are simultaneously present in the connector before making the connection, because said pin bars are simultaneously inserted on the ends of the conductive elements. Thus, it is generally not possible to put the connector on the end of a single ribbon, and only later connect the second ribbon on this connector.
- the document DE10065972 describes a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- US7309249 describes a similar system for connecting ribbons with flat conductive tracks.
- the V-pins of this system fit on the conductive tracks by bending them longitudinally.
- This system is only suitable if the ribbon is always placed in the same direction in the connector, namely with the non-electrically insulated side of the side of said pins. If the ribbon is placed in an inverted direction, the pin will be in contact with the insulating layer, formed by the insulating polymer support, carrying the conductive track, and the electrical contact will not be made or will be only random.
- the present invention aims to solve the problems mentioned above, and aims in particular to allow easy connection of light ribbons, seamless or complex handling. It also aims to provide a reliable electrical connection, allowing the electrical connection regardless of the direction of installation of the ribbon in the connector. It thus aims to allow an easy connection of butt tape in a straight line, or to provide a connection of tapes placed at right angles, or with any angle formed between them, by using an element of intermediate ribbon forming the angle and connected to each of said straight ribbons to connect.
- the subject of the invention is a connector according to claim 1.
- connection of the ribbon on the connector is done by inserting the end of the ribbon into the connector, in the longitudinal direction of the ribbon, until the ends of the conductive tracks s' insert electrical connection elements into the slots.
- the electrical connection then being automatically achieved by the pinching of the connection elements on the end of the ribbon at the level of the conductive tracks.
- the electrical connection elements are platelets of conductive metal which extend in a longitudinal plane and perpendicular to said general plane, and which comprise at each end two tabs which define between them said slot. It should be noted that this arrangement makes it possible to ensure the electrical contact whatever the orientation of the ribbon in the connector, despite the presence of the insulating support ribbon, since the ends of the conductive tracks are necessarily in contact with one of the tabs or with the other.
- the pads are kept inserted or overmolded in a housing body and the tabs protrude on each side in an insertion housing adapted to receive the end of the ribbon.
- a housing body adapted to receive the end of the ribbon.
- slides are provided in each housing to guide the ribbon edges when it is inserted into the connector.
- the latter comprises locking means, provided for pinching and jamming the ribbon, beyond the end zones where the electrical connection is made.
- the locking means comprise baffles transverse to the longitudinal direction, which apply to the ribbon and cause it to undergo a succession of alternating bending deformations capable of blocking it.
- the baffles are formed by ribs and grooves formed respectively on the body of the housing and on a connector cover at the ribbon insertion housing.
- the cover is preferably hinged to the body by a side hinge, and locking means are provided to lock the cover on the body of the housing.
- the lid comprises a complementary rib which presses on the tabs of the plates when the lid is closed, to exert an additional pinching force of the ends of the conductive tracks between said tabs.
- the invention also relates to a system of flat light ribbons carrying electroluminescent diodes, composed of a plurality of elements ribbons connected end to end by connectors as defined above.
- the ribbon elements may be connected in alignment with each other, or at any angle, to adapt the arrangement of the ribbon system to the configuration of the medium and the environment where it is desired to place said ribbons.
- connecting elements may in particular provide specific connecting elements to form these angles, comprising a single ribbon, carrying only the conductive tracks excluding LEDs, folded on itself at any angle, and having at each end a connector according to the invention.
- the corner elements can be prepared, and during installation, simply cut the rectilinear elements of light ribbons to the desired length, at the connection pads provided on these ribbons, and insert the ends thus cut into the connectors mounted on the corner elements.
- polarization markings are preferably provided on the housings.
- the ribbon elements 1 are arranged in line and connected by a single flat ribbon 15, without LEDs, connected to the ends ribbon elements 1 by connectors 2 according to the invention.
- the ribbon elements 1 are arranged at right angles and connected by a single flat ribbon 15 ', without LEDs, folded back on itself at the desired angle, here at 90 °.
- this connector consists of a double housing 20 having a body 21 extending in a general plane P1 which corresponds to the plane of the light ribbons to be connected, that is to say according to the plane of the sheet of the figure 3 , and in the longitudinal direction XX of said ribbons.
- the housing comprises two covers 22, 23 one beside the other, pivotally articulated on the body by lateral hinges 29 extending along a hinge line L oriented in the longitudinal direction XX, the two lids being symmetrical with respect to a median plane P2 perpendicular to said longitudinal direction XX.
- the covers 22, 23 are clipped in the closed position on the body by engagement of a cutout 24 of the cover on a lug 25 of the body.
- the covers 22, 23 close housing 26 made in each part of the body and intended to receive the ends of the ribbons to be connected, the housing width corresponding to that of the ribbons.
- slides 27 are formed on the side walls of the housing 26 to guide the end of the ribbon during its insertion into the connector, as will be seen later.
- each wafer 3 corresponds to a track 10 'of the ribbon.
- the connectors for ribbons with a number of tracks other than two or four.
- the connectors carry on their cover and on the body, in the housing 26, polarization markings + and - to facilitate connections avoiding polarity errors.
- polarization markings + and - to facilitate connections avoiding polarity errors.
- the connector system according to the invention makes it possible to simply manage these inversions because the ends of the ribbons can be placed in the connectors without worrying about the orientation of the ribbon: the figure 2 shows that on one side of the corner, connected on the ribbon 1, the insulating layer 13 of the single ribbon 15 'is located on the top, and on the other side it is the support 12 of the ribbon 15' which is apparent, the conductive tracks being then on this side , below the support 12.
- the connection of the connector remains possible, because the electrical contact between the pads 14 and the pads 3 will then be via the tab 31 of the pads located towards the body of the housing 20 instead of being via the tab located towards the lid, as previously described.
- the connector 2a is then connected to the ribbon 15 'in the opposite direction of the connector 2.
- the said + and - marks make it possible to ensure, in relation to the corresponding tracks of the ribbon, that the polarities are well respected when the connector 2 is connected. both on the ribbon side of the single flat ribbon 15 'and on the ribbon side 1'.
- the tracks and their positions in the connectors may be identified by RGB-like markers - for example, as illustrated figure 8 , or equivalent locations.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment of the connector described above solely by way of example.
- the pivoting cover could be replaced by any other cover system snap on the body and to ensure the locking tape by baffle systems or equivalent locking systems.
