Definitions

  • terminal blocks are used, in particular in the electrical cabinets, to electrically connect two or more electrical conductors together.
  • junction blocks are known to engage a ⁇ conductor rail, provided with an insulating housing having two main faces (one partially open and the other closed) and side faces connecting the main faces.
  • this housing are provided two conduits for introducing portions of ends of electric cables and a receiving housing of a subassembly formed of a conductive strip and two spring blades.
  • the bars of such subassemblies comprise two cells for receiving the end portions of the electric cables, each cell being delimited by surfaces of which one form a seat.
  • Each leaf spring has two branches connected to one another by a curved section.
  • each spring blade The end portions of the two branches of each spring blade are previously engaged in the corresponding cell to form the subassembly to be introduced into the receiving housing by the open face of the housing.
  • each cable introduction duct formed in the housing opens into a corresponding cell of the bar.
  • Each leaf spring is adapted to deform to leave the end portion of a cable, when engaged in said cell, to fit between the seat and an end edge of the leaf spring and, if the cable is then urged to be removed from the block, to wedge the end portion of the cable between the seat and the end edge.
  • busbars provided with several openings each surrounded by tabs delimiting a cell in which are engaged the two branches of a leaf spring.
  • the offset of the section provided with a stop outside and at a distance from the cell allows the leaf spring to cooperate with the bar under more favorable mechanical conditions than in the case where the end portions of the two branches of the blade spring are inserted into the cell.
  • the insertion force of an electric cable is reduced here, thus improving the comfort of use, while being sufficient to ensure good electrical contact.
  • the inclination of the ear in the direction of the cell makes it possible, by cooperation with the spring blade, to take up the majority of the forces exerted on this blade in the presence of a conductor in the cell, the blade spring coming to press against the corresponding ear so that the blade does not come to lean excessively against the insulating housing when it is requested by the driver.
  • the main mechanical forces transverse to the bar are thus exerted essentially at the level of the ear and not at the level of the insulating casing which ensures a better reliability and an improved safety of use.
  • leaf spring and the terminal block of the block according to the invention it is even possible for example, when implementing the Preferred features discussed below, to mount separately in the insulating housing the spring blade and the bar.
  • the pre-assembly between the bar and the spring blade to form the subassembly is no longer required, it is possible to achieve a successive assembly within the housing of the spring blade and the bar.
  • the partial closure of the common area to the introducer duct and the reception housing is made possible by the fact that the spring blade is assembled regardless of the bar. It is thus made possible, firstly, to introduce the spring blade into the housing through the open portion of the housing and then, in a second step, to move the spring blade to accommodate a portion of this blade in the partially closed common area and finally, in a third time, to assemble the bar to maintain in position the spring blade thus disposed.
  • the partially closed zone common to the introduction duct and the receiving housing thus makes it possible to ensure optimal guiding of the end portion of the cable towards the cell during its insertion thus preventing the end portion of the cable, in particular in the vicinity of the cell, to escape from the terminal block transversely to the main faces of this block.
  • the presence of the pin facilitates the installation of the spring blade in the partially closed zone by acting as a support around which the spring blade pivots to be placed in position in the introduction conduit.
  • the additional pin plays the role of stop pin to limit the movement of the first branch of the spring blade.
  • the terminal block 1 represented in Figures 1 to 12 comprises an insulating housing 2, a conductive bar 3 and two spring blades 4.
  • the insulating casing 2 is made of molded plastic and has two main faces 5 and 6 connected to each other by a front lateral face 7, a rear lateral face 8, an upper face 9 and a lower face 10.
  • the face 6 is completely obscured by a partition 22 while the face 5 is partially open.
  • This housing comprises a latching lug 15, a latching tab 16 to a ⁇ rail, two cable introduction ducts 32, two operating ducts 33 and a receiving housing 39 (FIG. figure 3 ) of the bar 3 and leaf springs 4.
  • the tabs 15 and 16 are located on the side of the face 8. Between these tabs extends a slot 17 formed inside the housing 2 and opening at the face 8.
  • the hooking lug 15 has two identical portions 19 on either side of the slot 17, each portion presenting opposite the leg engaging a recess 20 adapted to receive as will be seen hereinafter a wing of a rail in ⁇ .
  • the latching lug 16 has three partitions 25, 26 and 27 extending substantially transversely to the face 8.
  • the partition 25 closest to the latching lug is separated by the slot 17 in two identical portions 18.
  • Each portion 18 has a tooth 24 projecting towards the hooking lug 15.
  • the housing also comprises between the legs 15 and 16 two partitions 21 on either side of the slot 17 extending parallel to the faces 5 and 6 of the partition portions 19.

  • the opening 43 has two parallel edges 43 'in the direction of insertion of the cable and a curved edge 43 ".
  • Each duct 32 is closed at the main faces by two triangular partitions 34 projecting parallel to the faces 5 and 6 towards the inside of the housing.
  • One of these partitions 34 is located at the partially open face 5 and the other against the wall 22 closing the face 6 of the terminal block ( figure 9 ) locally forming an extra thickness.
  • the partition 34 located on the side of the face 6 is extended by a corner 42 ( figure 9 ).
  • the conduits 33 have a rectangular section and open only on the face 7 through an opening 46.
  • the receiving housing 39 of the bar 3 and the leaf springs 4 is partially delimited by a pair of closed-contour ribs 30 and a pair of closed-contour ribs 31 ( figure 3 ).
  • the area of the housing 39 adapted to receive the bar is partially delimited by the rib sections 30 ", 31"'and the lower edge on the figure 3 partitions 34 while each zone of the housing 39 adapted to receive a leaf spring 4 is partially delimited by the rib sections 30 ', 31', 31 "( figure 4 ) and includes space 44 ( figure 7 ) located between the two corresponding partitions 34.
  • each zone of the receiving housing 39 adapted to receive a leaf spring 4 is a cylindrical pin 40 and an oblong pin 41.
  • the space 44 located between two partitions 34 is common to the corresponding conduit 32 and the housing 39.
  • the receiving housing 39 is thus, at each end, partially obscured on the face 5 by a partition 34.
  • the casing is molded using three drawers, one for each pair of ducts 32, 33 and a third to form the slot 17.
  • the bar 3 comprises a central step 50 ( figure 7 ) and on each side of the central step a side step 51, each side step being connected to the central step by a riser 52 at right angles to the central step 50 and the side steps 51 so that each step 51 forms with its riser 52 a portion in L.
  • the side steps 51 are located at the same level relative to each other so that the bar has a podium profile.
  • the central step 50 has at its center a single orifice 63 while each side step 51 is provided with a cell 54 delimited by the surfaces of a stamped cage 55 projecting from the opposite side to the central step 50.
  • the spring blades 4 represented in Figures 1 to 10 have an asymmetrical V-shaped profile, each leaf spring being formed of a large straight branch 58 and a small straight branch 59 connected to one another at one end by a curved section 60.
  • Each of the branches 58 and 59 has, at about mid-length, a width change, with their width being smaller between their free end and the width changing zone.
  • This assembly consists first of all in arranging each leaf spring 4 in the receiving housing 39.
  • the curved section 60 of each leaf spring 4 is arranged around the pin 40 in the space in the vicinity of this piece on the opposite side to pawn 41 ( figure 3 ).
  • the large branch 58 then takes place between the corresponding pins 40, 41 and the corresponding partitions 34 while the small branch 59 takes place between the corresponding pins 40, 41 and the corresponding rib 30 '( figure 3 ).
  • the next step is to rotate each leaf spring 4 around the corresponding pin 40, parallel to the faces 5 and 6, so that the end portion of the long section 58 of the spring blade is placed in the space 44 between the partitions 34 ( figure 4 ), this section being guided towards this space by the ramp formed by one of the surfaces of the corner 42 ( figure 9 ), until it stops against the housing ( figure 4 ).
  • the end portion of the branch 58 is thus housed in the corresponding introduction conduit 32.
  • the blade thus disposed releases the area of the housing 39 adapted to accommodate the bar 3 so that it is now possible to introduce this bar in the housing.
  • the central step 50 is arranged between the sections of ribs 30 "and 31 '" of the insulating casing while the end portions of the side steps 51 are housed under the partitions 34 ( figure 5 ).

  • the last operation consists, using a tool or a rigid core cable through the conduit 32 or 33, to come to exert pressure against the branch 58 to abut the branch 59 against the riser 52 and thus bend the branch 58 to cross a hard point relative to the bar 3 so as to have the end edge 61 of this branch in the cell 54, against the surface 57 of the wall 56 of the cage 55 ( figure 7 ).
  • Such tips are for example used in conjunction with cables whose conductive core is formed of flexible strands to facilitate the introduction of conductors in the terminal block without the risk of folding the flexible strands.
  • tips (70) comprise a hollow and conductive hollow cylindrical element 71 crimped around the stripped end of a conductor (not shown) and an insulating plastic casing 72.
  • the first operation is to penetrate the tip 70 through the conduit 32 in which it must be inserted in order to constrain the leaf spring by pressing the leg 58 to move away the end edge 61 ( figures 6 and 7 ) of the surface 57 to allow this element to pass between this edge 61 and the wall 56.
  • the wiring end-piece 70 is thus introduced into the duct 32, the driving movement of the cable continuing for example until the end of the element 71 comes into abutment against the ridge section 31 'or until that the envelope 72 abuts at the level of the face 5 against the curved edge 43 'of the partition 34 or, at the level of the face 6, against the shoulder 48' of the partition 48.

If this element once installed in the terminal block 1 tends to be removed from the block, that is to say if it is subjected to a force directed in a direction contrary to the direction of insertion, this element will tend to bring with it the branch 58, which will bend and thus wedge against the wall 56, which will prohibit the removal of this element.
