Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of connectors, and in particular that of automotive connectors.
  • the invention relates in particular to a connector comprising a lever and locking means as well as a method of packaging a connector.
  • Connectors are used to transmit signals or electrical energy between cables, devices (computer, lighting, etc.) or motors.
  • electrical connectors have electrical contacts in greater or lesser numbers, or even of greater or lesser sizes.
  • the connectors in order to avoid musculoskeletal disorders for operators responsible for assembling and connecting the connectors together, in order to ensure an easy and reliable connection, and in order to avoid the risks of faulty connections, the connectors, and in particular the connectors for the automotive industry, may be equipped with a coupling assistance lever.
  • connectors are known with a lever mounted in rotation on a housing, the lever comprising two lever arms articulated around an axis of rotation, each respectively on a face of the housing, perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Each of these arms is provided with teeth cooperating with racks of a counter-connector.
  • the lever is then movable between two positions: an open position, corresponding to a pre-coupling or start of coupling position of the connector with a counter-connector, and a closed position, corresponding to a completely coupled position of the connector with the counter-connector.
  • the lever is placed in the open position when the connector is arranged opposite a counter-connector to couple the connector with the counter-connector.
  • the lever is tilted, from this open position to its closed position.
  • the teeth of the lever engage with the racks of the counter-connector, to couple and connect the connector with the counter-connector.
  • the connector and counter-connector are fully mated and connected.
  • This type of connector may be provided with locking means which block the lever in its closed position, in order to prevent the lever from tilting, inadvertently or under the effect of vibrations, towards its open position and the connector and counter-connector from disconnecting.
  • Connectors of this type are described, for example, in the document EP2675021A2 or in the document EP2863490A1 .
  • the lever is in the closed position, without however being locked.
  • the connector in addition to the fact that the connector can be packaged by limiting the volume it occupies and by reducing or avoiding the lever being broken, the connector can be stored for long periods without the effectiveness of the lever locking means degrading over time.
  • the locking means with which the connectors are equipped are often in the form of a lock made by molding a plastic material. It is therefore necessary to prevent elements of the locking means from being kept under stress for long periods. Under the effect of temperature and/or time, the plastic material can creep and/or deform, which can lead to malfunction and/or loss of reliability of the locking means.
  • the locking means do not remain under stress for extended periods.
  • the connector according to the invention can comprise locking means which comprise at least one flexible branch cooperating with the housing to block the lever in the closed position, this flexible branch not being under stress (i.e. not under permanent stress) when the locking means are in the delivery position or in the locking position.
  • the connector according to the invention may, in addition, optionally include one or other of the characteristics mentioned in claims 2 to 10, considered in isolation or in combination with one or more others.
  • the invention relates to a method of packaging a connector, according to claim 11.
  • the connector is packaged, for example, in a box, by placing the lever in the closed position and the locking means in a delivery position, distinct from the locking and unlocking positions, in which the locking means are not under stress.
  • the connector 1 comprises a housing 2, a lever 3 and locking means 4. These elements are made of molded resin having dielectric properties.
  • the housing 2 has a coupling face 5 with a counter-connector (not shown) and a wire guide passage 6.
  • the coupling face 5 is provided with contacts (not shown) electrically connected to wires or cables (not shown) exiting the connector 1 through the wire guide passage 6.
  • These contacts are intended to be connected with contacts of the counter-connector (not shown), by bringing the connector 1 and the counter-connector closer to each other, by fitting them into each other, in a coupling direction D, then by coupling them to each other by rotating the lever 3, about an axis of rotation A, from an open position of the lever ( figure 3 ) to a closed position of the lever ( figure 2 ).
  • the open position corresponds to a position in which the connector 1 is positioned to be mated with a counter-connector.
  • the closed position corresponds to a position in which the connector 1 is completely mated with the counter-connector and in which the contacts of the connector and the counter-connector are electrically connected to each other.
  • the axis of rotation A of the lever 3 is parallel to the coupling face 5 and perpendicular to the coupling direction D with the counter-connector.
  • the lever 3 comprises two arms 7.
  • the arms 7 are connected by one of their ends to a handle 8.
  • Their other end is provided with a flange 9 rotatably mounted on the housing 2 about the axis of rotation A.
  • Each flange 9 is provided with teeth 10 configured to cooperate with a respective rack present on the counter-connector, in order to couple the connector 1 with the counter-connector when the lever 3 is tilted from its open position ( figure 3 ) to its closed position ( figure 2 ).
  • the locking means 4 are, in the exemplary embodiment described here, in the form of a lock mounted to slide on the lever 3 in a translation direction T, parallel to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation A. More particularly, the lock is mounted to move in translation on the handle 8 between successively, along the direction T, a delivery position, an unlocking position and a locking position.
  • the lock comprises an actuating surface 11 under which there is a slider 12.
  • This slider 12 comprises two branches 13 extending longitudinally between an end connected to a base 14 (see Figures 10, 12 and 15 ) and a free end.
  • the branches 13 are flexible and can elastically deform and flex towards the base 14.
  • the base 14 has two ribs 15 each extending laterally towards the outside of the connector (see figures 1 , 4, 6 and 7 ). These ribs 15 extend longitudinally in the direction T. They penetrate and slide, in the direction T, in slides 16 formed in the handle 8 of the lever 3.
  • Each branch 13 comprises a locking tooth 17 and an unlocking tooth 18.
  • These locking teeth 17 and unlocking teeth 18 extend from each of the branches 13, towards the outside of the connector 1, parallel to the axis of rotation A of the lever 3 (see figures 1 , 6 and 7 ).
  • Each locking tooth 17 is shaped to cooperate with the lever 3 and prevent the free movement of the lock 4 from its unlocked position to its locked position ( figure 12 ) and vice versa ( Figure 15 ).
  • Each unlocking tooth 18 is shaped to cooperate with the housing 2, when the lock 4 is in the unlocking position and the lever 3 is tilted from its open position to its closed position ( Figure 13 ), and thus deflect the branches 13 each comprising the unlocking teeth 18 so that the lock 4 escapes the stopper 26 and can be moved from its unlocking position to its locking position.
  • the connector 1 is packaged for storage and transport, for example in a box, in bulk or in a cell provided for this purpose. In accordance with the invention, it is packaged, as shown in the figure 2 , by placing the lever 3 in the closed position and the locking means 4 in the delivery position.
  • these primary locking means comprise a lug 19 and an opening 20 provided in a locking tab 21, which is elastic and comes in a manner with the housing 2.
  • the lug 19 is engaged in the opening 20.
  • the lock 4 in the delivery position does not interact with the elastic tab 21. It is then sufficient to press on the free end of the tab 21 to disengage the lug 19 from the opening 20 and release the lever 3.
  • the lock 4 when the lever 3 is in the closed position and it is desired to lock it in this position so that it does not tilt inadvertently, for example because pressure has been involuntarily exerted on the tab 21, the lock 4 must be positioned in the locked position.
  • the lock 4 thus forms secondary locking means.
  • the lock 4 comprises two hooks 22 located opposite each other, each respectively, at a longitudinal edge of the tongue 21.
  • Each hook 22 has a U shape (when seen in cross section).
  • Each hook 22 thus forms a gutter or slide in which a rib 23 extending the tongue 21, laterally, outwards, can engage.
  • the branches 13 are not constrained.
  • the locking teeth 17 and unlocking teeth 18 do not interfere with either the housing 2 or the lever 3. They are freely housed in notches or recesses 24 provided on the internal face of the walls of the housing 2.
  • the branches 13 are not constrained.
  • the locking teeth 17 and unlocking teeth 18 do not interfere with either the housing 2 or the lever 3. In particular, they fit freely into the notches or recesses 24 provided on the internal face of the walls of the housing 2.
  • the lock 4 is moved, in the direction T, from its delivery position to its unlocking position.
  • protrusions 25 placed on the lock 4 and on the lever 3 interfere to offer a slight resistance that the operator can easily overcome ( figure 11 ). This gives the operator the sensation of moving through a notch.
  • the lock 4 is blocked by the locking teeth 17 which are in abutment on stops 26 made of the same material as the lever 3 and which prevent the movement of the lock 4 further towards its locking position ( Figure 12 ).
  • the protrusions 25 also interfere to retain the lock in this unlocked position ( Figure 13 ).
  • the respective mating faces 12 of the connector 1 and the counter-connector are presented facing each other.
  • the connector 1 and the counter-connector begin to be fitted into each other until the teeth 10 of the lever 3 can cooperate with the racks of the counter-connector.
  • the operator can then tilt the lever 3 from its open position to its closed position, to fully mate the connector 1 with the counter-connector.
  • Lock 4 can then be moved to its locking position ( figures 7, 9 , 14 and 15 ).
  • the beveled shapes of the unlocking teeth 18 facilitate this movement.
  • the locking teeth 17 and unlocking teeth 18 are again housed in notches or recesses 24 provided on the internal face of the walls of the housing 2.
  • the branches 13 are no longer stressed.
  • the stress exerted on the branches 13 is limited to the duration of the passage into the unlocking position of the lock 4.
  • This unlocking position corresponds to an intermediate position in which the lock is not intended to remain for a long time (and in any case not long enough for the plastic material to flow and for the branches 3 to be deformed relative to the rest position in which they are when the lock is in the delivery position or in the locking position).
  • the operator moves lock 4 from its locking position ( Figures 14 and 15 ) to its unlocked position ( figure 13 ).
  • the beveled shapes of the locking teeth 17 facilitate this movement (see figure 15 ).
  • the branches 13 bend when they pass over the stops 26 of the lever 3.
  • the unlocking teeth 18 are placed on the ribs 27.
  • the initial position is returned which allows the lug 19 to be released from the opening 20 by pressing on the free end of the tab 21.
  • the lever 3 can be tilted towards its open position by uncoupling the connector 1 and the counter-connector.
