Definitions

  • connection connector bistable of at least one conductor to an electrical device which is team.
  • this connector can have two stable states, corresponding respectively to tightening and loosening of the conductor (s). The difference in state is actually obtained by a rotary-looking action exerted on means of connector control, according to a stroke which is close to a half-turn.
  • the document DE-198 17 924 describes a connection terminal controlled by a threaded shaft that can rotate between two positions for fixing and releasing the conductors. More precisely, this terminal is configured in the form a kind of bracket, and it allows the fixing of a conductor between a rail which develops in the direction of plugging in of the conductor and a song lower of the stirrup, whose upper horizontal plate cooperates by elsewhere with the end of a return spring, the other end of which rests on said rail.
  • the threaded shaft transforms the rotary movement communicated by a tool into a axial stroke allowing the opening or closing of the connection terminal.
  • the difference in position between the two stable positions of opening and closure corresponds in this case to a complete rotation of the threaded shaft. It is note that in this configuration, stability is obtained, in the position corresponding to the closing of the terminal, by the return force of the spring. In the other position, corresponding inversely to the compression of the spring, a cleat keeps the threaded shaft in the low position, compressed spring. The opening of the terminal is therefore obtained by a double action, a first action of rotation by means of a tool, concluded by a second action aimed at blocking using the stopper the threaded shaft in the low position. Conversely, the release of the cleat causes the threaded shaft to rise under the effect of the spring return force.
  • the connector of the invention leads to simplify considerably the above-mentioned operating mode, since only one operation is necessary to change the state of the terminal, concretely a rotation of half a turn, whatever the direction conferred on said rotation.
  • the reversibility of the sense of rotation constitutes an additional difference compared to the device cited in German patent application DE-198 17 924.
  • the existence of the external thread equipping the rotary shaft imposes the direction of rotation both for closing and for opening the contact.
  • the bistable connection connector of the invention comprising in particular a receiving cage of at least one conductor and a plate constituting a conductive terminal capable of undergoing a relative displacement intended to allow the connection of the conductor (s) by tightening between a wall of the cage and said terminal, is characterized in that it comprises means for reminder of the terminal in contact with said wall of the cage and the means of control of the position of said terminal between two stable positions, one first stable clamping position of the conductor (s) in contact with the wall and a second stable position for loosening the remote conductor (s) from the latter, the difference in position being obtained by a helical movement of the order of half a step of said control means.
  • the part of the connector ensuring the actual contact is of an invoice classic, with cage and terminal that can be animated with a relative movement of translation allowing tightening / loosening of the conductor in the connector.
  • the cage is defined by a frame with peripheral walls in which are made two opposite windows inside which adjusts a plate of parallel appearance to two opposite walls of the frame, constituting in fact the bollard, the plate and the cage then being animated by a relative directional movement parallel to the other two sides of said frame.
  • the return means consist of a spring disposed between the plate and one of the walls which is parallel to it.
  • these tightening / loosening control means consist of a mechanism transforming a helical movement printed by a tool with a head for operating said means in a translational movement reflected at the cage.
  • control mechanism more precisely comprises a member central movable in rotation relative to two end elements to which said central organ is connected, the displacement of half a helix pitch of said organ allowing an axial expansion of the mechanism, secured by means of a end pieces to the wall of the cage against which the means rest recall, the operating head being accessible at the level of the other element end.
  • said mechanism comprises a central trunnion inserted in an equally cylindrical envelope divided into three parts by two identical and parallel sections, each taking the form of two connected portions of helicoid corresponding to two half-steps of propeller successive arranged at the same level and connected by rounded portions, the middle part of the envelope being more integral with the central pin.
  • the top portions respectively upper and lower of the two surfaces from the sections delimiting the middle part of the envelope secured to the central pin have a obviously rounded.
  • the means of. tightening / loosening control of conductors and the return means are arranged coaxially, the terminal and the cage walls parallel to said terminal being perpendicular to said axis and centered on him.
  • Bistable connectors as described above can of course be employees with a large number of electrical devices and in particular, according the invention, with modular electrical devices of the circuit breaker type or equivalents.
  • the present invention therefore also relates to an apparatus modular fitted with a bistable connection connector as mentioned above, characterized in that the clamping / loosening terminal is fixed relative to the housing of the apparatus, to which are also fixed the control means, the cage being driven in a translational movement guided by a housing provided for the connector in said housing and through the terminal, the side wall of said housing, forming one of the walls of said housing, being provided with an orifice whose dimension parallel to the longitudinal axis of said wall is close to the distance between the terminal of the cage wall in the loosening position of the conductor (s).
  • the fixing of the control means to the housing of the device does not imply not heard their immobility in relation to said housing. Indeed, this fixation aims to obtain a frame of reference for the axial expansion movement printing a translational movement to the cage, and does not concern the susceptible parts to be deployed.
  • the modular apparatus of the invention further comprises an opening in its facade accessible to the user, allowing access to the control means of the relative position of the cage and the terminal.
  • control means take the form of the pin central surrounded by a three-part envelope, the operating head of said pin is accessible via said opening.
  • the end piece of the control mechanism is not secured to the cage is fixed to the housing of the device.
  • connection members are composed of a cage (1), a plate (2) constituting the conductive terminal of the electric appliance equipped of the connector of the invention, and of a spring (3), the latter urging the plate or terminal (2) against the bottom wall of the cage (1).
  • the plate (2) is extended by a vertical portion (4) intended to be fixed in the housing of the electrical appliance provided with the terminal of the invention.
  • the upper wall of the cage (1) is provided a lug (5) for centering and holding the spring (3).
  • the bottom wall has rounded edges (6), as does the end free (7) of the terminal (2), intended in particular to assist in guiding and jamming of the conductor during the tightening phase.
  • the control means appear at the top of the cage (1).
  • the part visible in Figures 1 and 2 consists of a sectioned envelope (8) in three parts (8a, 8b, 8c) respectively upper, middle and lower.
  • the sectioning separation of said parts is carried out according to a curve which is in fact the connection of two portions of propellers each representing a half-step, said portions being placed at the same level.
  • the contact surface which results from this sectioning takes the form of a helicoid allowing relative sliding of the different parts, as will be shown in more detail below.
  • a recess (10) formed in the upper end of the part (8b) ensures the stability in the deployed position, as will be explained in more detail in the after.
  • the upper part of the portion (8a) appears hollow, showing well that the envelope (8) is a hollow cylinder, the upper orifice (9) making it possible to have access to the operating head.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 represent the connector of the invention in the open position, the direction of insertion of the conductors being shown diagrammatically by the arrow appearing on the left of figure 3.
  • the control means are here in an expanded state, resulting in the opening of the terminal.
  • the three parts (8a, 8b, 8c) of the envelope (8) are disjoint, having undergone a relative rotation of the order of 180 °, using a tool applied to the operating head (11) of the central pin (12) secured to the middle part (8b).
  • the sliding of a half-turn of the helicoid results in matching the upper and lower ends respectively middle parts (8c, 8b, 8a).
  • Stability is notably ensured by the existence of the recess (10 ') made in the lower end of the part (8b), and which houses the summit area of the part (8c).
  • the party end (8a) is fixed, the expansion of the envelope (8) results in pushing towards the bottom part (8b) and part (8C), a distance equivalent to a pitch of propeller.
  • This movement is passed on to the cage (1), which is integral with the part (8c).
  • the terminal (2) being also fixed, relative to the same reference as the part (8a), the spring (3) is compressed between it and the upper wall of the cage (1).
  • bistable terminal of the invention for example in a modular electrical device as shown in Figures 5 and 6, it is good heard important to fix the end portion (8a) relative to the housing (B) of said device, and allow guiding in translation of the cage (1), or even parts (8a, 8c).
  • the housing (L) of the cage (1) which extends in the upper part to the front (F) of the modular product, is configured to allow such guidance.
  • the housing (B) must include an orifice located in said facade (F) (not shown), to allow access to the operating head (11) of the pin (12).
  • This orifice must correspond to the orifice (9) appearing in the upper part (8a) of the envelope (8).
  • Said housing in its lateral facade (A), must include an orifice (13) disposed opposite the volume formed between the terminal (2) and the bottom wall of the cage (1), when the connector is open.
  • the height of this hole is planned in a way such that when the connector is closed, as shown in Figure 5, said bottom wall of the cage (1) is located at the top edge of the orifice (13).
  • the operation is as follows: when a user exercises, using a tool, a helical movement on the central pin (12), there is an expansion of the envelope (8) by sliding the helicoid separating the portions (8a, 8b, 8c). This expansion causes the downward movement of the cage (1) guided in translation in the housing (L), and the opening of the connector by establishment a free volume between the terminal (2), fixed relative to the housing (B), and the wall lower of the cage (1). It is then possible to insert a conductor via the hole (13) made in the side face (A) of the case (B).
