Description

La présente invention a trait aux dispositifs de raccordement électrique destinés à permettre le branchement d'une série de dérivations à partir de câbles principaux d'alimentation.The present invention relates to electrical connection devices intended to allow the connection of a series of taps from main power cables.

On sait que les dispositifs classiques, connus sous le nom de "grilles", comprennent généralement un support monobloc qui est réalisé en une matière isolante et sur lequel sont fixées, parallèlement les unes aux autres, des barres métalliques en nombre égal à celui des conducteurs du câble principal d'alimentation. Chacune de ces barres est équipée de connecteurs indépendants pour le branchement d'un conducteur du câble principal et des conducteurs des dérivations à alimenter.It is known that conventional devices, known under the name of "grids", generally comprise a monobloc support which is made of an insulating material and on which are fixed, parallel to each other, metal bars in number equal to that of the conductors main power cable. Each of these bars is equipped with independent connectors for the connection of a conductor of the main cable and the conductors of the branches to be supplied.

Le nombre des dérivations varie dans une très large mesure en fonction du schéma des installations électriques, de sorte que pour être à même de répondre aux besoins susceptibles d'être rencontrés en pratique, les installateurs doivent disposer d'une série de grilles qui diffèrent entre elles par le nombre des connecteurs supportés par les barres. On conçoit sans peine qu'une telle diversification complique et renchérit la fabrication comme le stockage des dispositifs classiques.The number of taps varies to a very large extent depending on the layout of the electrical installations, so that in order to be able to meet the needs likely to be encountered in practice, installers must have a series of grids which differ between them by the number of connectors supported by the bars. It is easy to see that such diversification complicates and increases the cost of manufacturing as well as the storage of conventional devices.

On connaît par ailleurs d'après le document DE-A-3629796 un dispositif de raccordement dans lequel plusieurs boîtiers élémentaires sont juxtaposés le long d'un rail, et reliés par des barres conductrices, chaque boîtier comportant des connecteurs qui sont destinés à recevoir des câbles et qui sont intégrés au boîtier et associés aux différentes barres. Dans un tel agencement l'ensemble du boîtier est monté en usine, avec ses connecteurs, de sorte que l'utilisateur ne peut pas davantage modifier les fonctions de ces connecteurs et que le problème analysé ci-dessus n'est pas résolu.Also known from document DE-A-3629796 is a connection device in which several elementary boxes are juxtaposed along a rail, and connected by conductive bars, each box having connectors which are intended to receive cables and which are integrated into the housing and associated with the various bars. In such an arrangement, the entire housing is mounted at the factory, with its connectors, so that the user cannot further modify the functions of these connectors and that the problem analyzed above is not resolved.

L'invention a donc pour but de fournir un dispositif de raccordement électrique qui permette de remédier aux inconvénients, évoqués ci-dessus, des dispositifs connus et qui procure une très grande souplesse d'utilisation.The invention therefore aims to provide an electrical connection device which overcomes the drawbacks, mentioned above, of known devices and which provides great flexibility of use.

A cet effet, elle a pour objet un dispositif de raccordement électrique du genre comprenant une série de barres disposées parallèlement les unes aux autres sur un support isolant afin d'être équipées d'une série de connecteurs, en contact électrique avec les barres et auxquels peuvent être reliés des conducteurs électriques, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un nombre variable de modules juxtaposés comportant chacun un socle isolant à profil étagé sur lequel sont montées et fixées les barres dont la longueur est adaptée au nombre et à la longueur des socles juxtaposés, des caches isolants de recouvrement, disposés au dessus des barres et des socles, ces caches délimitant des ouvertures situées en face de certaines zones des barres, et des connecteurs montés et fixés de manière amovible sur les socles en étant en contact électrique avec lesdites zones des barres.To this end, it relates to an electrical connection device of the kind comprising a series of bars arranged parallel to each other on an insulating support so as to be equipped with a series of connectors, in electrical contact with the bars and to which can be connected electrical conductors, characterized in that it comprises a variable number of juxtaposed modules each comprising an insulating base with a stepped profile on which the bars are mounted and fixed, the length of which is adapted to the number and length of the juxtaposed bases , insulating covering covers, arranged above the bars and bases, these covers delimiting openings situated opposite certain areas of the bars, and connectors mounted and removably fixed on the bases while being in electrical contact with said areas bars.

Suivant d'autres caractéristiques :

  • le socle comporte une série de bossages propres à coopérer avec des vis destinées à la fixation des barres, respectivement des connecteurs ;
  • certains bossages comportent des écrous noyés dans le matériau du socle ;
  • au moins certains connecteurs sont fixés sur le socle au moyen d'une vis qui constitue un axe autour duquel le connecteur peut être orienté, le socle et le cache ainsi que le connecteur étant adaptés pour autoriser un débattement angulaire du connecteur autour de la vis de fixation ;
  • les ouvertures d'accès aux différentes barres sont accessibles à partir de la même face ou face avant du dispositif.
According to other characteristics:
  • the base comprises a series of bosses capable of cooperating with screws intended for fixing the bars, respectively of the connectors;
  • some bosses include nuts embedded in the base material;
  • at least some connectors are fixed on the base by means of a screw which constitutes an axis around which the connector can be oriented, the base and the cover as well as the connector being adapted to allow an angular movement of the connector around the screw of fixation ;
  • the access openings to the different bars are accessible from the same face or face front of the device.

Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer :The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing:

Fig. 1 montre en perspective les éléments qui constituent deux types différents de modules pour la réalisation d'un dispositif de raccordement suivant l'invention.Fig. 1 shows in perspective the elements which constitute two different types of modules for producing a connection device according to the invention.

Fig. 2 est une coupe schématique du dispositif obtenu après assemblage des éléments suivant fig. 1.Fig. 2 is a schematic section of the device obtained after assembly of the elements according to FIG. 1.

Fig. 3 est une coupe longitudinale suivant le plan indiqué en III-III (fig.2) ; sur cette figure on a indiqué en II-II le plan de coupe de fig. 2.Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section along the plane indicated in III-III (fig.2); this figure shows in II-II the section plane of FIG. 2.

Chacun des modules du dispositif illustré comprend un socle creux 1 qui est réalisé en une matière isolante conformée par moulage et qui présente un profil latéral étagé, les étages étant au nombre de quatre dans l'exemple de réalisation considéré où l'on a supposé que les câbles principaux ou secondaires comportaient quatre conducteurs (trois phases et un neutre). Au niveau de chaque étage, le socle 1 présente des perforations dont la fonction apparaîtra au cours de la description.Each of the modules of the illustrated device comprises a hollow base 1 which is made of an insulating material shaped by molding and which has a stepped lateral profile, the stages being four in number in the embodiment considered where it has been assumed that the main or secondary cables had four conductors (three phases and a neutral). At each level, the base 1 has perforations whose function will appear during the description.

Il convient d'observer que les parois latérales du socle 1 sont munies de moyens de centrage et d'assemblage, constitués par deux saillies verticales la à profil en queue d'aronde auxquelles correspondent sur la paroi latérale opposée deux cavités 1b établies au même profil. On notera que dans un cas comme dans l'autre, ce profil va en se rétrécissant, du haut vers le bas sur le dessin, de façon à obtenir le blocage vertical de deux socles adjacents assemblés par compénétration des moyens précités.It should be observed that the side walls of the base 1 are provided with centering and assembly means, constituted by two vertical projections la with dovetail profile to which correspond on the opposite side wall two cavities 1 b established at the same profile. It will be noted that in one case as in the other, this profile narrows, from top to bottom in the drawing, so as to obtain the vertical blocking of two adjacent bases assembled by means of the above-mentioned means.

Sur chacun des étages formés par les socles isolants 1 ainsi assemblés, vient se fixer, par le moyen de vis 2 engagées dans des bossages correspondants 1c de chaque socle 1, une barre métallique 3 qui s'étend longitudinalement en renforçant l'assemblage des socles précités. On comprend que la longueur présentée par ces barres 3, orientées parallèlement les unes aux autres, dépend du nombre de socles 1 qu'on désire faire comporter au dispositif à réaliser ainsi que de leur longueur, ce nombre étant lui-même fonction des caractéristiques désirées pour ledit dispositif.On each of the stages formed by the insulating bases 1 thus assembled, is fixed, by means of screws 2 engaged in corresponding bosses 1 c of each base 1, a metal bar 3 which extends longitudinally by reinforcing the assembly of the aforementioned bases. It is understood that the length presented by these bars 3, oriented parallel to each other, depends on the number of bases 1 that it is desired to have the device to be produced as well as their length, this number itself being a function of the desired characteristics for said device.

A chaque socle 1 est associé un cache supérieur qui est réalisé en une matière isolante et qui présente latéralement le même profil étagé que celui des socles 1 auxquels il est fixé à l'aide de vis 4 coopérant avec des bossages 1d du socle correspondant. Les caches isolants sont conformés en fonction des connecteurs qui sont destinés à être fixés sur les socles 1 ; dans la réalisation considérée, on a supposé qu'il existait deux types différents de caches, à savoir des caches 5 pourvus de cloisons parallèles 5a de séparation, et des caches 6 qui comportent, au niveau de chaque barre métallique 3, un bossage vertical 6a en forme de cheminée, ces caches 6 coopérant d'ailleurs avec des socles 1' légèrement différents des socles 1.Each base 1 is associated with an upper cover which is made of an insulating material and which has laterally the same stepped profile as that of the bases 1 to which it is fixed using screws 4 cooperating with bosses 1 d of the corresponding base. The insulating covers are shaped as a function of the connectors which are intended to be fixed to the bases 1; in the embodiment considered, it was assumed that there were two different types of covers, namely covers 5 provided with parallel partitions 5 a for separation, and covers 6 which comprise, at each metal bar 3, a vertical boss 6 has the shape of a chimney, these covers 6 cooperating moreover with bases 1 ′ slightly different from the bases 1.

Chaque cache 5 comporte, prévues de manière alternée de part et d'autre de la cloison centrale 5a, des ouvertures 5b dans chacune desquelles est engagée la base d'un connecteur 7 destiné à assurer le branchement de l'un des conducteurs 8 de chaque câble d'alimentation ou de dérivation. La fixation en place de chacun des connecteurs 7 est opérée à l'aide d'une vis 9 qui traverse la barre 3 de l'étage envisagé à travers un trou approprié, laquelle vis coopère avec un écrou 10 noyé dans un bossage 1e du socle 1 correspondant.Each cover 5 comprises, provided alternately on either side of the central partition 5 a , openings 5 b in each of which is engaged the base of a connector 7 intended to ensure the connection of one of the conductors 8 of each power or branch cable. The fixing in place of each of the connectors 7 is effected by means of a screw 9 which crosses the bar 3 of the envisaged stage through a suitable hole, which screw cooperates with a nut 10 embedded in a boss 1 e of the base 1 corresponding.

La distance séparant les cloisons parallèles 5a est telle que les connecteurs 7 peuvent être orientés angulairement en tournant autour de leur vis de fixation 9, avant le serrage de cette dernière dans l'écrou 10, ce qui facilite très sensiblement le montage des conducteurs, notamment des conducteurs de forte section.The distance between the parallel partitions 5 a is such that the connectors 7 can be angularly oriented by turning around their fixing screw 9, before the latter is tightened in the nut 10, which very considerably facilitates the mounting of the conductors, in particular conductors of large section .

De la même manière, le fond de chaque cache 6 est ajouré au niveau de chacun des bossages ou cheminées 6a afin que le talon 11a d'un connecteur multiple 11 puisse prendre appui contre la barre 3 correspondante. La fixation de chaque connecteur 11 est opérée au moyen de vis 12 coopérant avec des écrous noyés 13.In the same way, the bottom of each cover 6 is perforated at each of the bosses or chimneys 6 a so that the heel 11 has a multiple connector 11 can bear against the corresponding bar 3. The fixing of each connector 11 is effected by means of screws 12 cooperating with sunk nuts 13.

On comprend que l'invention permet la réalisation, simple et économique, de dispositifs de raccordement strictement adaptés aux installations qu'il sont destinés à équiper, puisqu'il suffit d'assembler les uns aux autres les modules nécessaires aux branchements envisagés, le nombre de ces modules n'étant en fait limité que par la longueur disponible dans l'enveloppe enfermant le dispositif.It is understood that the invention allows the realization, simple and economical, of connection devices strictly adapted to the installations which they are intended to equip, since it suffices to assemble to each other the modules necessary for the envisaged connections, the number of these modules being in fact limited only by the length available in the envelope enclosing the device.

Cela est rendu possible grâce à la structure modulaire du dispositif, mais aussi grâce au fait que les connecteurs sont montés et fixés de manière amovible par rapport au socle et aux barres, contrairement à ce qui est prévu dans la technique antérieure.This is made possible thanks to the modular structure of the device, but also thanks to the fact that the connectors are removably mounted and fixed relative to the base and the bars, contrary to what is provided in the prior art.

On soulignera qu'on peut imaginer des modules spécifiques équipés d'appareillages différents des connecteurs 7 et 11 ci-dessus indiqués, lesdits appareillages permettant la réalisation de dérivations protégées, de jonctions provisoires, de prélèvements d'informations, de branchements de dépannage, etc... De tels modules spécifiques peuvent évidemment être incorporés à l'origine lors de la réalisation des dispositifs de raccordement, mais ils peuvent également être aménagés au cours de l'utilisation d'un tel dispositif, en fixant, sur les extrémités des barres métalliques au niveau de l'un et/ou de l'autre des deux modules latéraux, des rallonges assurant l'alimentation des modules supplémentaires.It will be emphasized that one can imagine specific modules fitted with devices different from the connectors 7 and 11 above indicated, said devices allowing the realization of protected branches, temporary junctions, taking of information, troubleshooting connections, etc. ... Such specific modules can obviously be incorporated originally when making the connection devices, but they can also be fitted during the use of such a device, by fixing, on the ends of the bars metallic at the level of one and / or on the other of the two side modules, extensions ensuring the supply of additional modules.

Il doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits par tous autre équivalents.It should moreover be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by any other equivalent.
