La présente invention se rapporte à un joint pour un connecteur électrique.The present invention relates to a seal for an electrical connector.
L'invention vise, plus particulièrement, un joint pour un connecteur électrique du type décrit dans la demande de brevet au nom de la demanderesse n° 92.09298 du 28 Juillet 1992 et publiée sous le n° 2 694 454.The invention relates, more particularly, to a joint for an electrical connector of the type described in the patent application in the name of the applicant n ° 92.09298 of July 28, 1992 and published under n ° 2 694 454.
Le connecteur décrit dans cette demande comprend un élément de boîtier présentant à une extrémité un logement pour recevoir un élément de boîtier femelle, ledit élément de boîtier comportant deux conduits parallèles s'étendant perpendiculairement au logement et destinés à recevoir, chacun, une branche d'une clé pourvue de rampes, tandis que l'un des éléments présente des tétons destinés à coopérer avec lesdites rampes.The connector described in this application comprises a housing element having at one end a housing for receiving a female housing element, said housing element comprising two parallel conduits extending perpendicular to the housing and intended to each receive a branch of a key provided with ramps, while one of the elements has pins intended to cooperate with said ramps.
Dans un mode de réalisation décrit dans cette demande, il est prévu un joint élastique constitué par un manchon monté sur une jupe de l'élément de boîtier mâle et qui vient s'insérer entre la paroi latérale interne d'une cavité de l'élément de boîtier femelle et ladite jupe, ledit joint comportant une série de tores parallèles destinés à coopérer avec la surface latérale interne de l'élément de boîtier femelle.In an embodiment described in this application, there is provided an elastic seal constituted by a sleeve mounted on a skirt of the male housing element and which is inserted between the internal lateral wall of a cavity of the element of female housing and said skirt, said seal comprising a series of parallel tori intended to cooperate with the internal lateral surface of the female housing element.
On a constaté qu'un tel joint ne donnait pas une entière satisfaction.It was found that such a seal was not entirely satisfactory.
L'un des buts de la présente invention est de perfectionner un tel joint afin d'améliorer l'étanchéité.One of the aims of the present invention is to perfect such a seal in order to improve the seal.
Le joint, objet de la présente invention, est destiné à équiper des connecteurs électriques du type comprenant un élément de boîtier mâle présentant à une extrémité, un logement destiné à recevoir un élément de boîtier femelle, présentant une cavité, le logement étant fermé par un fond et comportant intérieurement une jupe destinée à s'insérer dans la cavité, ledit élément de boîtier mâle comportant deux conduits parallèles s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'élément de boîtier femelle et destinés à recevoir, chacun, une branche d'une clé, chaque branche présentant deux rampes inclinées destinées à coopérer avec des tétons de l'élément de boîtier femelle, chaque rampe étant terminée par un cran formé par un creusage de manière que le coulissement de la clé, dans un sens, provoque l'engagement de l'élément de boîtier femelle dans le logement jusqu'à une position de verrouillage dans laquelle les tétons coopèrent avec les crans, un joint élastique formé par un manchon présentant, à une extrémité, un rebord destiné à porter contre le fond du logement à partir duquel s'étend la jupe et des tores à sa périphérie, ledit joint étant monté sur ladite jupe de manière que lesdits tores coopèrent avec la surface interne de la cavité de l'élément de boîtier femelle, ledit joint étant caractérisé en ce que le rebord est pourvu d'ondulations qui augmentent l'élasticité du rebord et améliorent ainsi le verrouillage de la clé.The seal, object of the present invention, is intended to equip electrical connectors of the type comprising a male housing element having at one end, a housing intended to receive a female housing element, having a cavity, the housing being closed by a bottom and internally comprising a skirt intended to be inserted into the cavity, said male housing element comprising two parallel conduits extending perpendicularly to the female housing element and intended to each receive a branch of a key, each branch having two inclined ramps intended to cooperate with pins of the female housing element, each ramp being terminated by a notch formed by a digging so that the sliding of the key, in one direction, causes the engagement of the female housing element in the housing to a locking position in which the pins cooperate with the notches, an elastic seal formed by a sleeve having, at one end, a rim intended to bear against the bottom of the housing from which extends the skirt and tori at its periphery, said seal being mounted on said skirt so that said tori cooperate with the internal surface of the cavity of the female housing element, said seal being characterized in that the flange is provided with corrugations which increase the elasticity of the flange and thus improve i key lock.
Grâce à une telle disposition, on améliore l'étanchéité.Thanks to such an arrangement, the sealing is improved.
L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détail en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment given by way of example only and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:
