Description

BORNE DE CONNEXION POUR L'ALIMENTATION EN BOUCLAGE D'APPAREILS ELECTRIQUES CONNECTION TERMINAL FOR THE LOOP SUPPLY OF ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
La présente invention concerne une borne de connexion qui permet l'alimentation en bouclage d'appareils électriques tels que des candélabres par exemple.The present invention relates to a connection terminal which enables looping power to electrical devices such as candelabras for example.
Les lignes d'éclairage de voies routières notamment sont constituées d'une pluralité de candélabres raccordés au réseau électrique généralement par une technique dite « en bouclage », chaque appareil d'éclairage servant à l'alimentation de l'appareil suivant. Pour cela, les câbles d'arrivée de neutre et de phase sont connectés chacun sur leur propre borne intégrée dans le pied du candélabre. A partir de chaque borne, un câble d'alimentation raccordé au dispositif d'éclairage permet le fonctionnement de l'appareil concerné, et un câble de sortie assure l'alimentation de l'appareil d'éclairage suivant. De manière classique, quatre bornes sont associées à chaque candélabre : l'une pour le câble de neutre et les trois autres pour les câbles de phase d'une alimentation électrique en triphasé, de manière à permettre un équilibrage des phases sur l'ensemble de la ligne.The lighting lines for roadways in particular consist of a plurality of candelabras connected to the electrical network generally by a technique called "looping", each lighting device serving to power the following device. For this, the neutral and phase incoming cables are each connected to their own terminal integrated in the base of the candelabrum. From each terminal, a power cable connected to the lighting device allows the operation of the device concerned, and an output cable ensures the supply of the next lighting device. Conventionally, four terminals are associated with each candelabrum: one for the neutral cable and the other three for the phase cables of a three-phase power supply, so as to allow phase balancing over the whole of line.
Il existe déjà différents types de bornes permettant de réaliser ce genre de connexion, avec plus ou moins de contrainte et de facilité selon le modèle mis en œuvre.There are already different types of terminals to achieve this kind of connection, with more or less constraint and ease depending on the model implemented.
Etant donné les gros diamètres de câbles utilisés, les manoeuvres de connexion et de déconnexion ne sont pas toujours faciles à réaliser. D'autre part, les bornes courantes ne sont pas toujours adaptées pour permettre un travail sous tension lors d'une intervention sur l'un des appareils électriques, ou sur une série d'appareils, pour une opération d'entretien ou de dépannage par exemple, car on risque de créer un arc électrique au moment de la séparation des deux extrémités de câbles disposés dans le même organe de serrage. Ces interventions nécessitent en conséquence bien souvent une coupure de l'alimentation générale de la ligne, ce qui peut poser des problèmes de sécurité du fait de l'absence totale d'éclairage. La présente invention propose un nouveau type de borne pour l'alimentation en bouclage d'appareils électriques, qui est très facile d'utilisation pour ce qui concerne les opérations de connexion et de déconnexion des câbles, et qui permet également d'intervenir sur l'un des appareils, ou bien sur quelques appareils, sans nécessiter une coupure générale d'alimentation.Given the large cable diameters used, connection and disconnection operations are not always easy to perform. On the other hand, the current terminals are not always adapted to allow working under voltage during an intervention on one of the electrical devices, or on a series of devices, for a maintenance or troubleshooting operation by example, because there is a risk of creating an electric arc at the time of the separation of the two ends of cables arranged in the same clamping member. Consequently, these interventions often require a cut in the general supply to the line, which can pose safety problems due to the total absence of lighting. The present invention provides a new type of terminal for looping power supply of electrical devices, which is very easy to use with regard to the operations of connection and disconnection of cables, and which also allows to intervene on the 'one of the devices, or on some devices, without requiring a general power cut.

Les deux dispositifs de serrage des câbles d'arrivée et de sortie sont constitués chacun d'un mors fixe et d'un mors mobile en forme de vis de serrage associée à un écrou, et ce mors mobile est porté par un coulisseau guidé dans des glissières aménagées dans les faces internes du boîtier isolant, pour permettre le déplacement dudit mors mobile par rapport audit mors fixe par simple translation.The electrical connection terminal according to the present invention consists of an insulating box in which are integrated: - a particular clamping device, suitable for receiving the previously stripped end of the incoming cable (phase or neutral), - a particular clamping device, suitable for receiving the previously stripped end of the output cable, and - a device for connecting the power cable of the electrical appliance concerned. The two clamping devices for the incoming and outgoing cables each consist of a fixed jaw and a movable jaw in the form of a clamping screw associated with a nut, and this movable jaw is carried by a slide guided in slides arranged in the internal faces of the insulating housing, to allow the displacement of said movable jaw relative to said fixed jaw by simple translation.
D'autre part, la borne comporte des moyens pour relier électriquement le dispositif de serrage recevant le câble d'arrivée, d'une part avec le dispositif de connexion du câble d'alimentation de l'appareil, et d'autre part avec le dispositif de serrage recevant le câble de sortie.On the other hand, the terminal comprises means for electrically connecting the clamping device receiving the incoming cable, on the one hand with the device for connecting the power cable of the device, and on the other hand with the clamping device receiving the output cable.
Toujours selon l'invention, les deux dispositifs de serrage recevant respectivement le câble d'arrivée et le câble de sortie sont disposés sur la face avant du boîtier, placés dans le même plan mais décalés longitudinalement l'un par rapport à l'autre pour permettre l'accessibilité à leur mors mobile. Le dispositif de connexion du câble d'alimentation de l'appareil électrique est quant à lui disposé sur la face arrière du boîtier isolant.Still according to the invention, the two clamping devices respectively receiving the inlet cable and the outlet cable are arranged on the front face of the housing, placed in the same plane but offset longitudinally relative to each other to allow accessibility to their mobile jaws. The device for connecting the power supply cable to the electrical appliance is located on the rear face of the insulating housing.
Selon une autre caractéristique, une pièce conductrice monobloc, rapportée, est munie d'extensions pour assurer la liaison électrique entre le dispositif de connexion du câble d'alimentation de l'appareil et les deux dispositifs de serrage des câbles d'arrivée et de sortie. L'extrémité de l'une des extensions de cette pièce rapportée en matériau conducteur vient se placer dans le fond de chaque mors fixe des deux dispositifs de serrage, en forme de berceau en U, pour former l'embase de réception de l'extrémité de câble correspondante. D'autre part, le dispositif de connexion du câble d'alimentation de l'appareil se présente sous la forme d'un dispositif de serrage avec un mors et une vis de serrage, et la troisième extension de la pièce en matériau conducteur vient se positionner entre ladite vis de serrage et le fond du mors associé.According to another characteristic, a single piece conductive piece, added, is provided with extensions to ensure the electrical connection between the device for connecting the power supply cable of the device and the two devices for tightening the incoming and outgoing cables. . The end of one of the extensions of this insert made of conductive material is placed at the bottom of each fixed jaw of the two clamping devices, in the form of a U-shaped cradle, to form the base for receiving the end. corresponding cable. On the other hand, the device for connecting the power cable of the device is in the form of a clamping device with a jaw and a clamping screw, and the third extension of the piece of conductive material comes position between said clamping screw and the bottom of the associated jaw.
Selon une autre particularité de la borne, le dispositif de connexion du câble d'alimentation de l'appareil est constitué d'une vis de serrage montée fixe en translation sur le boîtier isolant, et d'un mors de forme tubulaire monté mobile en translation sur ledit boîtier sous l'effet de la rotation de la vis de serrage.According to another particularity of the terminal, the device for connecting the power supply cable to the device consists of a clamping screw mounted fixed in translation on the insulating housing, and a tubular jaw mounted movable in translation on said housing under the effect of the rotation of the clamping screw.
Encore selon une autre caractéristique, le coulisseau mobile des deux dispositifs de serrage est constitué d'une embase plane munie d'un orifice de passage de la vis de serrage ; cette embase est prolongée au niveau de ses extrémités par deux pattes munies d'ergots permettant la solidarisation par encliquetage de l'écrou qui porte ladite vis de serrage. La patte du coulisseau mobile qui est située du côté de la face avant du boîtier comporte de préférence une extension de préhension adaptée pour faciliter les manoeuvres d'ouverture et de fermeture.Still according to another characteristic, the movable slide of the two clamping devices consists of a flat base provided with a hole for the passage of the clamping screw; this base is extended at its ends by two tabs provided with lugs allowing the nut which carries said clamping screw to be secured by snap-fastening. The tab of the movable slide which is situated on the side of the front face of the housing preferably comprises a gripping extension adapted to facilitate opening and closing operations.
Selon une caractéristique supplémentaire, la borne comporte des moyens qui permettent sa fixation sur un rail de type DIN, lesquels moyens de fixation sont constitués d'une rainure en Té aménagée à la base du boîtier isolant ; cette rainure est munie de deux ergots d'accrochage dont l'un est réalisé monobloc avec le boîtier et dont l'autre, de type rétractable, est rapporté, associé à des moyens de rappel élastiques.According to an additional characteristic, the terminal comprises means which allow its fixing on a DIN type rail, which fixing means consist of a T-shaped groove arranged at the base of the insulating housing; this groove is provided with two latching pins, one of which is made in one piece with the housing and the other of which, of the retractable type, is attached, associated with elastic return means.
Mais l'invention sera encore illustrée, sans être aucunement limitée, par la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation particulier, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple et représenté sur les dessins annexés dans lesquels :However, the invention will be further illustrated, without being in any way limited, by the following description of a particular embodiment, given solely by way of example and shown in the appended drawings in which:

- la figure 3 est une vue en perspective de la borne sans l'une des demi- coquilles du boîtier isolant, avec les deux mors mobiles en forme de coulisseaux disposés sur leur mors fixe respectif ;- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the terminal without one of the half-shells of the insulating housing, with the two movable jaws in the form of slides arranged on their respective fixed jaws;
- la figure 4 montre la borne sans l'une des demi-coquilles du boîtier isolant, avec les deux mors mobiles en forme de coulisseaux dégagés de leur mors fixe respectif ;- Figure 4 shows the terminal without one of the half-shells of the insulating housing, with the two movable jaws in the form of slides released from their respective fixed jaws;
- la figure 5 est une vue en perspective des trois-quarts arrière de la borne, toujours sans l'une des demi-coquilles du boîtier isolant.- Figure 5 is a perspective view of the rear three-quarters of the terminal, still without one of the half-shells of the insulating housing.
La borne de connexion électrique représentée sur les figures 1 à 5 est constituée d'un boîtier isolant 1 sur la face avant duquel sont aménagés deux dispositifs de serrage 2, 3 aptes à recevoir, l'un, l'extrémité préalablement dénudée d'un câble d'arrivée 4, et l'autre, l'extrémité préalablement dénudée d'un câble de sortie 5, et sur la face arrière duquel est prévu un troisième système de serrage 6 destiné à recevoir l'extrémité préalablement dénudée du câble 7 assurant l'alimentation d'un appareil électrique non représenté.The electrical connection terminal shown in Figures 1 to 5 consists of an insulating housing 1 on the front face of which are fitted two clamping devices 2, 3 adapted to receive, one, the previously stripped end of a incoming cable 4, and the other, the previously stripped end of an outlet cable 5, and on the rear face of which is provided a third clamping system 6 intended to receive the previously stripped end of the cable 7 ensuring the supply of an electrical appliance, not shown.
A l'intérieur du boîtier isolant 1 , les trois dispositifs de serrage 2, 3 et 6 sont reliés par une pièce 9 en matériau conducteur, genre laiton par exemple, pour connecter électriquement les extrémités des câbles 4, 5 et 7.Inside the insulating box 1, the three clamping devices 2, 3 and 6 are connected by a piece 9 of conductive material, such as brass, for electrically connecting the ends of the cables 4, 5 and 7.
Les deux dispositifs de serrage 2 et 3 sont identiques et ils sont chacun constitués d'un mors fixe en forme de berceau 10 à section en U et d'un mors mobile composé d'une vis 12 associée à un écrou 14. La vis 12 est munie à son extrémité d'une pastille de serrage anti-cisaillement 15. L'écrou 14 coopère avec les extrémités des branches latérales du mors fixe 10 par un système du genre queue d'aronde 16, 17. Ce système du genre queue d'aronde permet de renforcer le serrage tout en évitant l'écartement des branches latérales du berceau 10.The two clamping devices 2 and 3 are identical and they each consist of a fixed jaw in the form of a cradle 10 with a U-section and a movable jaw composed of a screw 12 associated with a nut 14. The screw 12 is provided at its end with an anti-shearing clamping disc 15. The nut 14 cooperates with the ends of the lateral branches of the fixed jaw 10 by a system of the dovetail type 16, 17. This system of the dovetail type 'dovetail strengthens the tightening while avoiding the separation of the lateral branches of the cradle 10.
Le mors fixe 10 et le mors mobile 12, 14, 15 sont réalisés en matériau conducteur, genre laiton par exemple ; ils forment un étau de serrage pour chaque extrémité de câble 4, 5, préalablement dénudée. Chaque mors mobile est porté par un coulisseau ou tiroir 20 guidé dans des glissières 21 aménagées dans les faces internes du boîtier isolant 1. Ce coulisseau 20 permet le déplacement du mors mobile par rapport au mors fixe, par simple translation, selon une direction sensiblement parallèle à l'axe des extrémités de câbles 4, 5. Cette possibilité de translation permet à l'opérateur de placer chaque mors mobile dans une position dégagée du mors fixe, en vue du positionnement des extrémités de câbles dans le mors fixe correspondant, sans ou avec peu de pliage ; elle permet également à l'opérateur de ramener le mors mobile en position active sur le mors fixe, pour le serrage des extrémités de câbles.The fixed jaw 10 and the movable jaw 12, 14, 15 are made of conductive material, brass type for example; they form a clamping vice for each end of cable 4, 5, previously stripped. Each movable jaw is carried by a slide or drawer 20 guided in slides 21 arranged in the internal faces of the insulating housing 1. This slide 20 allows the displacement of the mobile jaw relative to the fixed jaw, by simple translation, in a substantially parallel direction to the axis of the cable ends 4, 5. This possibility of translation allows the operator to place each movable jaw in a position released from the fixed jaw, with a view to positioning the cable ends in the corresponding fixed jaw, without or with little folding; it also allows the operator to return the movable jaw to the active position on the fixed jaw, for clamping the cable ends.
Le coulisseau 20 se présente sous la forme d'un support en matière plastique isolante constitué d'une embase 22 munie d'un orifice 23 pour le passage de la clé de serrage de la vis 12. Cette embase 22 se prolonge par des pattes d'extrémités 24, 25 munies d'ergots 26, 27 qui permettent la solidarisation de l'écrou 14, par encliquetage. La patte 25 située du côté de la face avant du boîtier 1 comporte un ergot de préhension 28, en saillie vers le haut, qui facilite la manipulation du tiroir 20 par l'opérateur. Les deux dispositifs de serrage 2 et 3 sont disposés dans le même plan ; ils sont superposés et décalés longitudinalement pour permettre la manipulation de leur mors mobile respectif et pour permettre à l'opérateur d'accéder facilement aux deux vis de serrage 12.The slide 20 is in the form of an insulating plastic support consisting of a base 22 provided with an orifice 23 for the passage of the tightening key of the screw 12. This base 22 is extended by tabs d 'ends 24, 25 provided with pins 26, 27 which allow the fastening of the nut 14, by snap-fastening. The tab 25 located on the side of the front face of the housing 1 comprises a gripping lug 28, projecting upwards, which facilitates the handling of the drawer 20 by the operator. The two clamping devices 2 and 3 are arranged in the same plane; they are superimposed and offset longitudinally to allow the manipulation of their respective movable jaws and to allow the operator to easily access the two clamping screws 12.
Les deux dispositifs de serrage 2, 3 sont reliés électriquement par la pièce conductrice 9 en forme générale de C, dont les extrémités planes 30 et 31 , parallèles, viennent chacune se placer dans le fond de l'un des mors fixes 10. Les extrémités des câbles 4, 5 sont ainsi serrées entre la pastille anticisaillement 15 et les extensions planes 30, 31 respectivement.The two clamping devices 2, 3 are electrically connected by the conductive part 9 in the general shape of C, the flat ends 30 and 31 of which, parallel, each come to be placed in the bottom of one of the fixed jaws 10. The ends cables 4, 5 are thus clamped between the anti-shear pad 15 and the flat extensions 30, 31 respectively.
Le dispositif de serrage 6 est constitué d'un mors tubulaire 32 muni d'un orifice 33 pour le positionnement de l'extrémité du câble 7, et d'une vis de serrage 34 qui est positionnée dans un trou taraudé 35 réalisé dans la paroi supérieure dudit mors tubulaire 32. La connexion électrique du câble 7 s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'une extension 36 réalisée monobloc avec la pièce de liaison 9 et qui vient se loger dans l'orifice 33 du mors tubulaire 32, sur l'axe de serrage de la vis 34.The clamping device 6 consists of a tubular jaw 32 provided with an orifice 33 for positioning the end of the cable 7, and a clamping screw 34 which is positioned in a tapped hole 35 made in the wall upper of said tubular jaw 32. The electrical connection of the cable 7 is effected by means of an extension 36 made in one piece with the connecting piece 9 and which is housed in the orifice 33 of the tubular jaw 32, on the tightening axis of the screw. 34.
La vis 34 est montée fixe en translation sur le boîtier 1 ; sa rotation entraîne le déplacement en translation du mors tubulaire 32, guidé notamment par une patte en saillie 38. Ce mouvement de translation permet le serrage de l'extrémité du câble 7 entre le fond du mors tubulaire 32 et l'extension 36 de la pièce de liaison 9. La vis 34 est manœuvrée au moyen d'un tournevis introduit par un orifice d'accès 40 aménagé sur le dessus du boîtier 1. La structure du boîtier 1 est adaptée pour maintenir immobiles les deux mors fixes 10 ainsi que la pièce de liaison 9, et pour permettre le guidage en translation des deux coulisseaux 20 et du mors tubulaire 32.The screw 34 is mounted fixed in translation on the housing 1; its rotation causes the tubular jaw 32 to move in translation, guided in particular by a protruding tab 38. This translational movement allows the end of the cable 7 to be clamped between the bottom of the tubular jaw 32 and the extension 36 of the part 9. The screw 34 is operated by means of a screwdriver inserted through an access orifice 40 arranged on the top of the housing 1. The structure of the housing 1 is adapted to keep the two fixed jaws 10 as well as the part stationary. of connection 9, and to allow the guiding in translation of the two slides 20 and of the tubular jaw 32.
Le boîtier 1 est constitué de deux demi-coquilles complémentaires l' et 1" obtenues par moulage de matière plastique et assemblées par exemple par une soudure ultrasons, après positionnement des différents organes de raccordement électrique. La solidarisation des deux demi-coquilles l' et 1" rend toutes les pièces internes imperdables.The housing 1 consists of two complementary half-shells l 'and 1 "obtained by molding of plastic material and assembled for example by ultrasonic welding, after positioning of the various electrical connection members. The joining of the two half-shells l' and 1 "makes all internal parts captive.
La borne conforme à l'invention comporte encore des moyens de fixation sur un rail de type DIN, non représenté. Ces moyens de fixation sont constitués d'une rainure en Té 42 aménagée dans le fond de la borne. Cette rainure 42 comporte deux ergots d'accrochage 43 et 44 ; l'ergot 43, situé du côté de la face arrière, est réalisé monobloc sur chaque demi-coquille l', 1 " et l'ergot 44, situé du côté de la face avant, est du type rétractable, constitué par l'extrémité d'un tiroir rapporté 45, associé à un organe de rappel élastique 46. Le tiroir 45 et l'organe de rappel 46 sont réalisés monobloc par moulage de matière plastique. Ce tiroir 45 coulisse dans une rainure 48 aménagée sur les faces internes des deux demi-coquilles 1 ', 1" ; sa manœuvre, pour le positionnement de la borne sur le rail DIN, ou son enlèvement, est réalisée par une traction sur sa partie avant qui s'étend légèrement en saillie.The terminal according to the invention also includes means for fixing to a DIN type rail, not shown. These fixing means consist of a T-shaped groove 42 arranged in the bottom of the terminal. This groove 42 has two hooking lugs 43 and 44; the lug 43, located on the side of the rear face, is made in one piece on each half-shell 1 ', and the lug 44, located on the side of the front face, is of the retractable type, constituted by the end an added drawer 45, associated with an elastic return member 46. The drawer 45 and the return member 46 are made in one piece by molding of plastic material. This drawer 45 slides in a groove 48 provided on the internal faces of the two 1 ', 1 "half-shells; its maneuver, for positioning the terminal on the DIN rail, or its removal, is carried out by a pull on its front part which extends slightly projecting.
L'organe de rappel élastique 46 est en forme générale de sinusoïde. Il comporte un ergot de blocage 49 au niveau de son extrémité avant, qui vient se positionner dans un logement 50 aménagé dans le boîtier 1 , au-dessus de la rainure 48.The elastic return member 46 is generally in the form of a sinusoid. It has a locking lug 49 at its front end, which comes position in a housing 50 arranged in the housing 1, above the groove 48.
A noter que cette structure de fixation particulière peut être envisagée sur d'autres types de bornes de connexion. Dans la borne de connexion conforme à l'invention, les extrémités des câbles d'arrivée 4 et de sortie 5 sont chacune disposées dans leur propre dispositif de serrage 2, 3 à coulisseau escamotable. Cette structure particulière facilite les opérations de connexion et de connexion des câbles, car chacune de ces opérations s'effectue sur un seul câble à la fois et sans nécessiter de pliage important.Note that this particular fixing structure can be envisaged on other types of connection terminals. In the connection terminal according to the invention, the ends of the incoming 4 and outgoing 5 cables are each arranged in their own clamping device 2, 3 with retractable slide. This particular structure facilitates the connection and connection operations of the cables, since each of these operations is carried out on a single cable at a time and without requiring significant bending.
D'autre part, les deux câbles 4 et 5 étant séparés, l'un d'eux peut être déconnecté sans risque de créer un arc électrique avec l'autre câble ; cela permet, dans le cadre d'une alimentation en bouclage, d'intervenir sur l'un des appareils électriques (par exemple pour le remplacement d'une lampe de candélabre), sans perte de l'alimentation des appareils disposés en amont.On the other hand, the two cables 4 and 5 being separated, one of them can be disconnected without risk of creating an electric arc with the other cable; this allows, in the context of a loop power supply, to intervene on one of the electrical devices (for example for the replacement of a candelabra lamp), without loss of power to the devices arranged upstream.
De manière classique, le câble d'arrivée correspond soit au neutre, soit à l'une des phases, et au moins deux bornes du type de celle décrite ci-dessus doivent être utilisées pour l'alimentation de chaque appareil électrique. Plus particulièrement, on utilisera quatre bornes dans le cadre d'une alimentation en triphasé : l'une pour le neutre et les trois autres pour les trois phases, dans le but de réaliser un équilibrage des phases sur les différents appareils. A noter que les câbles d'arrivée 4 et de sortie 5 peuvent être connectés sur l'un ou l'autre des dispositifs de serrage 2, 3 sans que cela change quoi que ce soit au fonctionnement ; de préférence, le câble de sortie 5 est positionné dans le dispositif de serrage supérieur 3, pour faciliter la manoeuvre de déconnexion sur l'appareil situé juste en amont de celui ou de ceux sur lesquels on désire intervenir. Conventionally, the incoming cable corresponds either to neutral or to one of the phases, and at least two terminals of the type described above must be used to supply each electrical device. More particularly, four terminals will be used in the context of a three-phase supply: one for neutral and the other three for the three phases, in order to achieve phase balancing on the various devices. Note that the incoming 4 and outgoing 5 cables can be connected to one or other of the clamping devices 2, 3 without this changing anything during operation; preferably, the output cable 5 is positioned in the upper clamping device 3, to facilitate the disconnection maneuver on the device located just upstream of the one or those on which one wishes to intervene.
