Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de connexion pour conducteurs électriques, notamment applicable à l'éclissage d'une canalisation électrique de distribution, ce dispositif comportant dans plusieurs logements d'un corps isolant des couples de pinces de contact élastiques à lèvres évasées de serrage applicables sous l'effet de moyens élastiques de serrage contre des conducteurs introduits en sens opposés.The present invention relates to a connection device for electrical conductors, in particular applicable to the jointing of an electrical distribution pipe, this device comprising in several housings of an insulating body pairs of elastic contact clips with flared tightening lips applicable under the effect of elastic clamping means against conductors introduced in opposite directions.

Un dispositif de connexion de ce type est décrit dans le brevet FR-2 432 777. Ce dispositif nécessite une came rotative pour mettre les deux pinces de serrage d'un couple, qui forment alors les ponts de contact, dans une position écartée favorisant l'introduction des conducteurs à connecter.A connection device of this type is described in patent FR-2 432 777. This device requires a rotary cam to put the two torque clamps, which then form the contact bridges, in a separated position favoring the introduction of the conductors to be connected.

D'autres dispositifs de connexion connus utilisent des couples de pinces reliées entre elles en ponts, dans lesquels l'insertion d'un premier conducteur nécessite un effort axial important pour écarter les lèvres de serrage d'une première pince, l'insertion d'un deuxième conducteur dans la deuxième pince exigeant un effort encore accru par réaction de la première pince sur la deuxième pince.Other known connection devices use pairs of clamps connected to one another in bridges, in which the insertion of a first conductor requires a significant axial force to separate the tightening lips of a first clamp, the insertion of a second conductor in the second clamp requiring an even greater effort by reaction of the first clamp on the second clamp.

L'invention vise à diminuer l'effort d'insertion d'un conducteur dans un dispositif du type décrit en préambule. Elle a pour autre but de faciliter l'insertion du deuxième conducteur lorsque les pinces de serrage opposées sont solidarisées sous forme de ponts de contact élastiques.The invention aims to reduce the effort of inserting a conductor into a device of the type described in the preamble. Another purpose is to facilitate the insertion of the second conductor when the opposite clamps are secured in the form of elastic contact bridges.

Selon l'invention, le corps du dispositif de connexion comprend près de chaque ouverture deux épaulements dirigés vers l'intérieur du logement pour retenir chacun une lèvre de serrage en l'absence de conducteur et les extrémités libres des épaulements déterminent pour le conducteur un passage plus large que l'écart existant en l'absence du conducteur entre les lèvres de serrage.According to the invention, the body of the connection device comprises near each opening two shoulders directed towards the interior of the housing to each retain a tightening lip in the absence of conductor and the free ends of the shoulders determine for the conductor a passage wider than the gap existing in the absence of the conductor between the clamping lips.

De préférence, les extrémités des lèvres de serrage évasées et les épaulements ont des pentes adaptées par exemple, les épaulements présentent d'un côté une forme concave adaptée à une forme convexe des extrémités des lèvres et de l'autre côté une pente de guidage pour faciliter l'introduction des conducteurs.Preferably, the ends of the flared clamping lips and the shoulders have suitable slopes for example, the shoulders have on one side a concave shape adapted to a convex shape of the ends of the lips and on the other side a guide slope for facilitate the introduction of conductors.

Lorsque les deux pinces de contact d'un couple sont reliées entre elles à la manière de ponts de contact, les ponts peuvent être recouverts sur la majeure partie de leur longueur par des lames-ressort et montés dans le corps d'une part au moyen d'une agrafe centrale en U enfilée transversalement sur les lames et dans une rainure du logement respectif, d'autre part par engagement des extrémités des lèvres de serrage contre les épaulements.When the two contact clamps of a couple are connected together in the manner of contact bridges, the bridges can be covered over most of their length by leaf springs and mounted in the body on the one hand by means a central U-shaped clip threaded transversely on the blades and in a groove in the respective housing, on the other hand by engagement of the ends of the clamping lips against the shoulders.

  • La figure 4 représente en perspective une vue éclatée d'une partie du dispositif.
The following description is made with reference to the appended drawings and aims to explain the invention through an embodiment.
  • Figure 1 shows in elevation a connection device according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side view.
  • Figure 3 shows detail A on a larger scale.
  • Figure 4 shows in perspective an exploded view of part of the device.

Le dispositif de connexion électrique illustré sur les figures est destiné à réaliser la jonction électrique, au niveau d'un éclissage de canalisation électrique de distribution, entre les conducteurs - câbles ou barres - de deux tronçons de canalisation s'étendant selon un axe X-X' et à coupler selon cet axe.The electrical connection device illustrated in the figures is intended to make the electrical junction, at the level of a splicing of the electrical distribution pipe, between the conductors - cables or bars - of two pipe sections extending along an axis XX ' and to couple along this axis.

Le dispositif comprend un corps isolant 10 doté de plusieurs logements axiaux 11 bordés par des cloisons d'isolement 12. Le corps isolant est insérable comme un tiroir selon une direction parallèle à X-X' dans un boîtier d'éclissage non représenté, lui-même positionné dans l'enveloppe de la canalisation, ou en variante peut constituer ce boîtier lui-même. Dans le mode de réalisation ici décrit, les logements axiaux 11 du corps 10 sont ouverts latéralement en 13 pour permettre l'introduction latérale, c'est-à-dire selon une direction Y perpendiculaire à X-X', des organes de connexion.The device comprises an insulating body 10 provided with several axial housings 11 bordered by isolation partitions 12. The insulating body can be inserted like a drawer in a direction parallel to XX ′ in a not shown splice box, itself positioned in the envelope of the pipe, or alternatively may constitute this housing itself. In the embodiment described here, the axial housings 11 of the body 10 are open laterally at 13 to allow the lateral insertion, that is to say in a direction Y perpendicular to XX ′, of the connection members.

Les logements 11 débouchent axialement vers l'extérieur par deux ouvertures axiales 14,15 par lesquelles les conducteurs C peuvent être introduits parallèlement à l'axe X-X' et en sens opposés. Les organes de connexion comprennent, pour deux conducteurs à interconnecter, deux pinces élastiques de contact 20a,20b situées dans le logement axial 11, s'ouvrant à l'opposé l'une de l'autre et comportant chacune deux branches axiales élastiques 21a,22a et 21b,22b; les branches homologues 21a,21b et 22a,22b sont réunies pour former par continuité des ponts de contact respectifs 23,24. Chaque branche 21,22 comporte à son extrémité libre une lèvre de serrage 25 évasée en 26.The housings 11 open axially outwards through two axial openings 14,15 through which the conductors C can be introduced parallel to the axis XX ′ and in opposite directions. The connection members comprise, for two conductors to be interconnected, two elastic contact clamps 20a, 20b situated in the axial housing 11, opening opposite one another and each comprising two elastic axial branches 21a, 22a and 21b, 22b; the homologous branches 21a, 21b and 22a, 22b are joined together to form, by continuity, respective contact bridges 23,24. Each branch 21, 22 has at its free end a clamping lip 25 flared at 26.

Des ressorts sont prévus pour serrer l'une vers l'autre et contre le conducteur C les lèvres de serrage 25 de deux branches en regard 21,22. Les ressorts peuvent être constitués par des ressorts en épingle ; dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré, on associe à chaque pont de contact une lame élastique 27,28 également en pont, échancrée en 29, épousant sensiblement la forme en accolade du pont de contact et appliquée sur celui-ci au moins dans la zone centrale et dans la zone des lèvres. L'ensemble de connexion formé par les deux ponts de contact 23,24 et les deux ponts élastiques 27,28 est solidarisé par une agrafe ou clip 30 en U ; l'agrafe centrale 30 est introduite dans des gorges centrales de l'ensemble de connexion , au sommet des accolades; et coopère avec une rainure centrale 31 du logement 11 pour centrer l'ensemble de connexion.Springs are provided for clamping one towards the other and against the conductor C the clamping lips 25 of two facing arms 21,22. The springs can be constituted by pin springs; in the illustrated embodiment, there is associated with each contact bridge an elastic blade 27, 28 also in bridge, notched at 29, substantially matching the brace shape of the contact bridge and applied to it at least in the area central and in the area of the lips. The connection assembly formed by the two contact bridges 23,24 and the two elastic bridges 27,28 is secured by a staple or clip 30 in U; the central clip 30 is introduced into the central grooves of the assembly of connection, at the top of the braces; and cooperates with a central groove 31 of the housing 11 to center the connection assembly.

Le corps isolant 10 présente vers l'extérieur du logement 11 et près de l'extrémité libre de chaque branche 21,22, entre l'ouverture axiale 14,15 du logement et la lèvre de serrage 25, deux épaulements 32 formés par des languettes ou saillies analogues rigides de forme incurvée à pente adaptée à celle des extrémités incurvées convexes de lèvres. Chaque épaulement 32 présente vers l'extrémité convexe de la lèvre une face d'appui concave 33 pour cette extrémité et du côté opposé à la lèvre une face inclinée 34 dont la pente sert à guider et centrer les conducteurs C. Les facettes planes parallèles à X-X' qui forment les extrémités libres 35 des épaulements 32 déterminent pour le conducteur C un passage 36 de largeur a supérieure à la largeur b existant en l'absence du conducteur entre les lèvres 25 (figure 2). L'écart e existant au repos entre un épaulement et le bord interne de la lèvre associée est indiqué sur les figures 2 et 3.The insulating body 10 presents towards the outside of the housing 11 and near the free end of each branch 21, 22, between the axial opening 14, 15 of the housing and the tightening lip 25, two shoulders 32 formed by tongues or similar rigid projections of curved shape with a slope adapted to that of the convex curved ends of the lips. Each shoulder 32 has towards the convex end of the lip a concave bearing face 33 for this end and on the side opposite to the lip an inclined face 34 whose slope serves to guide and center the conductors C. The plane facets parallel to XX 'which form the free ends 35 of the shoulders 32 determine for the conductor C a passage 36 of width a greater than the width b existing in the absence of the conductor between the lips 25 (FIG. 2). The difference e existing at rest between a shoulder and the internal edge of the associated lip is indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Les positions respectives de travail et de repos sont illustrées par les ensembles de connexion haut et bas sur la figure 1. On peut noter d'autre part que les cloisons d'isolement 12 sont légèrement échancrées en 37 près des épaulements 32 pour permettre un débattement suffisant des branches 21,22 des pinces et des extrémités des lèvres de serrage 25 sans réduire la section d'attaque des cloisons.The respective working and rest positions are illustrated by the top and bottom connection assemblies in FIG. 1. It can also be noted that the isolation partitions 12 are slightly indented at 37 near the shoulders 32 to allow a clearance sufficient branches 21,22 of the clamps and the ends of the clamping lips 25 without reducing the attack section of the partitions.

Le dispositif décrit permet de réduire l'effort d'insertion d'un conducteur C dans la pince de contact qui lui est associée et, plus particulièrement, quand un premier conducteur a été introduit dans une première pince 21a,22a (partie gauche en haut de la figure 1), de garder une valeur modérée pour l'effort d'insertion du deuxième conducteur (partie droite en haut de la figure 1) de la deuxième pince 21b,22b, puisque la réaction due à l'insertion du premier conducteur est reprise par les épaulements 32 associés à la deuxième pince. Il convient de remarquer que les cloisons d'isolement, soumises à des efforts contraires provenant des épaulements des logements adjacents, peuvent rester relativement minces.The device described makes it possible to reduce the effort of inserting a conductor C into the contact clamp associated with it and, more particularly, when a first conductor has been introduced into a first clamp 21a, 22a (left part at the top in FIG. 1), to keep a moderate value for the insertion force of the second conductor (right part at the top of FIG. 1) of the second clamp 21b, 22b, since the reaction due to the insertion of the first conductor is taken up by the shoulders 32 associated with the second clamp. It should be noted that the isolation partitions, subjected to contrary forces coming from the shoulders of the adjacent housings, can remain relatively thin.
