Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric connector of the fast-on type and to a terminal block for connecting electric cables, incorporating said fast-on connector.
  • the screws also require that the wire be inserted in a predefined direction which is compatible with the direction of screwing and are subject to vibrations of the electric household appliance with the consequent tendency to come loose, resulting in a poor wire contact over time.
  • terminal blocks of the known type in particular if small in size, also have the drawback that they do not allow the installation of a large number of electrical connection pins since the outputs for electrical connection to the apparatus are arranged in different planes, this preventing an increase in the number of contacts available for fast-on contacts, thus also requiring the production of connectors which cannot be standardised with an obvious limitation in availability and increase in warehouse space and management costs.
  • the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is to provide an electric connector of the fast-on type and a terminal block for connecting electric cables, which allow faster and more cost-effective production thereof and ensure stable fixing of the wires without the use of screws, being able to be applied in an easy and repeatable manner.
  • the terminal block should have electric outputs which can be connected to standard connectors, ensuring small centre-to-centre distances between the pins of the fast-on connector, and that it should have means for gripping the cable, able to allow easy and rapid positioning/removal thereof.
  • the fast-on connector 10 comprises essentially at least three pins 11 which are arranged with at least two pins of the set of three pins lying in a first vertical plane Z-Z, arranged above each other, and extending parallel to the longitudinal direction X-X; the third pin 11 of the set of three pins lies in a second vertical plane Z-Z parallel to the previous one and at a suitable distance from the first plane in the transverse direction Y-Y; as shown in the example, the third pin is in turn arranged above a fourth pin 11 lying in the same plane so as to form a corresponding number of electrical output connections.
  • Each pin 11 of the pair lying in the same vertical plane is integral with a body 12 in turn parallel with the vertical plane and provided with a lug 13 for engagement with the corresponding insulating support 1000, as will become clear below with reference to Fig. 10.
  • the two lugs 13 are staggered with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction X-X so as not to increase the dimensions in the transverse direction Y-Y.
  • the two bodies 12 are connected together in the transverse direction Y-Y by a bridge-piece 15 lying in a horizontal plane and obtained by folding the two bodies 12 so as to ensure continuity and a large conductive cross-section, improving the thermal properties of the said connection;
  • the bridge-piece 15 has extending from it, outwards and towards the rear, a tongue 16, the free end 16a of which is folded upwards so as to form the contact surface for resting on a corresponding surface 1006 of the insulating body of the terminal block, as described in detail below.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show a further embodiment of the fast-on connector 110 according to the present invention suitable for fixing to the body of the electrical apparatus as an earth connection; in this embodiment, the fast-on connector 110 has a tongue 115a extending from one of the pins 11 parallel to the vertical direction Z-Z and folded in an L shape along a section 115b connected to a flange 116 with holes 116a for receiving fixing screws (not shown).
  • the bridge-piece 15 and the tongue 16 also act as a support for the means 200 for gripping the end 1b of the wires 1a of the electric cable 1;
  • said gripping means 200 consist of a resilient lamina 210 folded to form a closed ring comprising a substantially flat side 212 for resting on the bridge-piece 15 and a curved part 213, with a resilient reaction, having a rear side 214 which is inclined and provided with an eyelet 214a inside which the tongue 16 engages, said tongue, in the rest condition, pressing against the end of the eyelet 214a so as to prevent opening (Fig. 7) of the lamina owing to its elasticity.
  • the dimensions of the gripping means 200 are such as to allow them to be contained inside the structure of the fast-on connector.
  • the compression of the resilient lamina in the vertical direction Z-Z positions the eyelet 214a underneath the tongue 16, allowing insertion of the end 1b of the wire 1a inside it; when the lamina 210 is released, it tends to return elastically into the rest position, exerting a compressive force on the end 1b of the wire which is thus retained against the tongue 16 so as to prevent it being pulled out in the longitudinal direction.
  • the terminal block according to the present invention comprises essentially a box 1000 with, formed inside it, at least two seats 1001 (three in the example since the connection to the earth wire 1 is provided), said seats having a suitable depth in the vertical direction Z-Z and extending parallel to the longitudinal direction X-X.
  • Said seats 1001 are arranged at constant relative distances in the transverse direction Y-Y.
  • Each seat has, moreover, a respective opening 1002 in the rear side 1000a of the box, for insertion of the end of the respective electric wires 1b and at least one opening 1003 formed on the upper side 1000b of the box 1000 and suitable for insertion of a tool for compressive operation of the lamina 213.
  • Each seat has moreover a vertical wall provided with respective undercuts 1004 extending outwards in the transverse direction Y-Y and staggered with respect to each other in the longitudinal direction X-X; said undercuts are able to receive the lugs 13 of the fast-on connector 10 so as to cause the stable locking thereof in the longitudinal direction X-X and therefore prevent it from coming out, once inserted inside the respective seat.
  • Each seat is separated from the other seats by means of parallel partitions 1005 extending outwards in the longitudinal direction X-X in order to keep the pins 11 of the fast-on connectors 10 electrically insulated from each other.
  • the insulating box 1000 has a tooth 1006 projecting in the longitudinal direction towards the inside of the said container and able to form a stop surface for the tongue 16 of the fast-on connector so as to fix it in the vertical direction X-X and allow the compressed actuation of the resilient lamina 213.
  • the tooth 1006 also helps ensure electrical insulation of the wire 1b.
  • Fig. 11 shows the distance "d" of the free end of the inclined side 214 of the said lamina from the bottom side 1000c of the box; this distance "d” may be suitably determined in relation to the dimensions of the lamina 213 so as to allow controlled compression thereof able to prevent stress-relieving over time.
  • the standard pitch "p" of the pins may be contained within minimum values, for example 5 mm also in the case of high electric loads (63A).
  • one of the fast-on connectors of the terminal blocks is of the type with an earth pin 116 projecting towards the outside of the box from one of the sides of the box.
  • the constant-pitch modular structure and the limited dimensions allow connection by means of connectors of the standardised conventional type, while allowing the powering of high loads owing to the large conductive surface area and the large number of outputs of the fast-on connector.
  • the terminal block moreover has pins which are electrically insulated and protected on three sides.
