Abstract
Description
La présente invention vise un connecteur électrique.The present invention relates to an electrical connector.
L'un des buts de l'invention est de réaliser un connecteur électrique qui permet de fournir à tout élément électronique l'alimentation que celui-ci requiert pour réaliser les différentes fonctions qui lui sont attribuées ainsi que l'information nécessaire à la communication sur un bus de données.One of the aims of the invention is to provide an electrical connector which makes it possible to supply any electronic element with the power that it requires to perform the various functions which are assigned to it as well as the information necessary for communication on a data bus.
Le connecteur, selon l'invention, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un corps avec, d'une part, deux sorties permettant de le relier à une source de courant électrique et à une masse et, d'autre part, deux sorties pour l'alimentation d'un équipement électrique/électronique et deux sorties destinées à être reliées à l'équipement électrique/électronique afin de récupérer l'information qui transite par l'alimentation dudit équipement.The connector according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises a body with, on the one hand, two outputs making it possible to connect it to a source of electric current and to a ground and, on the other hand, two outputs for the supply of electrical / electronic equipment and two outputs intended to be connected to the electrical / electronic equipment in order to recover the information which passes through the supply of said equipment.
Grâce à cette disposition, on réalise un connecteur courant porteur permettant de gérer l'architecture électrique et électronique dans des véhicules et de réduire la complexité de celle-ci.Thanks to this arrangement, a carrier current connector is produced which makes it possible to manage the electrical and electronic architecture in vehicles and to reduce the complexity thereof.
Suivant une caractéristique constructive, le connecteur comporte un ensemble de protection électrique inséré entre un filtre et une dérivation de l'alimentation, un régulateur de tension inséré sur une dérivation de l'alimentation et une interface de courant porteur.According to a constructive characteristic, the connector comprises an electrical protection assembly inserted between a filter and a supply branch, a voltage regulator inserted on a supply branch and a carrier current interface.
Enfin, l'interface de courant porteur comporte une horloge et une logique, un canal codeur décodeur et des entrées et sorties TX fifo et RX fifo.Finally, the carrier current interface includes a clock and logic, an encoder decoder channel and TX fifo and RX fifo inputs and outputs.
L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés.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.
Figure 1 montre schématiquement un connecteur, selon l'invention.Figure 1 schematically shows a connector according to the invention.
Figure 2 montre le connecteur, selon l'invention, sous forme de schéma bloc.Figure 2 shows the connector according to the invention in the form of a block diagram.
Le connecteur représenté aux figures comprend un boîtier 1 avec deux broches 2 dont l'une est destinée à être reliée à une ligne d'alimentation L1, tandis que l'autre est destinée à être reliée à la masse M1.The connector shown in the figures comprises a housing 1 with two
Le boîtier 1 comporte deux sorties L2 et M2, la sortie L2 constituant une ligne d'alimentation et la sortie M2 une masse.The housing 1 has two outputs L2 and M2, the output L2 constituting a supply line and the output M2 a ground.
Le boîtier 1 comporte deux autres sorties 4 et 5 pour véhiculer l'information (transmission et réception).Box 1 has two
On peut ainsi relier directement un équipement électrique/électronique 6 qui comporte quatre sorties 7, 8, 9 et 10 destinées à être reliées respectivement à la masse M2, à l'alimentation L2 et aux entrées/sorties 4 et 5.It is thus possible to directly connect electrical /
La ligne L1 alimente un ensemble de protection des composants 11 qui peut être un circuit électronique, un fusible ou autre, celui-ci étant relié à la masse M1.Line L1 supplies a set of protection for
A partir d'une dérivation de la ligne L1 et de la masse M1 est alimenté une interface de courant porteur 12 avec interposition d'un régulateur de tension 13.From a branch of line L1 and ground M1, a carrier
L'ensemble de protection est relié à un filtre 15 qui est relié à l'interface 12, celle-ci comprenant une horloge plus une logique 14, un canal codeur décodeur 15 et des entrées et sorties TX fifo et RX fifo 17, 18 destinées à être, par les sorties 4 et 5, reliées respectivement aux sorties 10 et 9 de l'équipement électrique/électronique.The protection assembly is connected to a
Un tel connecteur est particulièrement simple et peut s'interfacer avec tout équipement nécessitant une connexion au réseau d'information et d'alimentation.Such a connector is particularly simple and can be interfaced with any equipment requiring a connection to the information and power network.
Ainsi, un tel connecteur étant monté sur un capteur et/ou sur un calculateur, il alimente ceux-ci, ledit connecteur récupérant l'information qui transite sur le conducteur d'alimentation et le conditionne par exemple sous forme de message CAN.Thus, such a connector being mounted on a sensor and / or on a computer, it supplies them, said connector recovering the information which passes through the supply conductor and conditions it, for example in the form of a CAN message.
De même, le connecteur transforme les messages CAN du capteur et/ou du calculateur en signal courants porteurs et injecte ledit signal sur le câble d'alimentation.Similarly, the connector transforms CAN messages from the sensor and / or the computer into carrier current signals and injects said signal onto the power cable.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit et représenté. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détail sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and shown. Many detailed modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
