Definitions
- the present invention relates to a circuit breaker or switch type modular apparatus which is provided with an anti-yawing device provided for a junction zone of two adjacent shell portions of a housing of the apparatus.
- These two shells constitute a shell / cover type architecture forming the housing of such a device.
- the two shells are generally assembled by riveting and / or basting involving weld points at different locations distributed over the largest surface of the shells.
- Such devices are, for example, described in the document US 2005/230231 A1 .
- connection devices concerned by this invention have at least one connection device to a line that they protect, accessible via portions of said shells which form, when they are edge to edge, a planar face of the module housing .
- This face comprises in practice at least one window giving access to a connection device for connecting at least one external conductor for its clamping against a conductive terminal connected to a functional block of the apparatus which performs the function for which it is provided.
- It can be a simple connection providing a single window for the introduction of a conductor wire for example, or a double connection to two windows that are made in the same connection face of the module, thus allowing a double connection for a direct supply and a bridging for example.
- the window (s) is (are) generally centered (s) in the width of the connection face of the module and is found (s) so at least partly located (s) in the junction zone between the two adjacent hull portions.
- connection device often consists of a terminal cage provided with a clamping screw accessible on the front of the product.
- the tightening of this screw by means of a screwdriver since such a facade generally substantially perpendicular to the connection face, induces a tightening torque within the terminal cage.
- the latter then tends to deform and come to exert pressure on at least one of the two adjacent hull portions, thereby causing their spacing, referred to in practice as "yawn".
- This yawn is mainly visible in the connection face, since the stresses due to the torsion torque exerted at the moment of tightening are the strongest in the vicinity of this face.
- Such yawning is obviously not desirable, both aesthetically and safely. Indeed, the inside of such a device, powered, must be protected against any introduction of foreign bodies, against splashing, etc., which could cause for example short circuit, or more generally defects on the line.
- the housing acts as an electrically insulating protective cover of the device, and the appearance of a yawn alters this function, not to mention the risk of embrittlement that ensues.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to prevent yawning in the junction zone between the two adjacent shell portions of a module of a housing, regardless of the tightening torque applied at the connecting device.
- the anti-yawn device of the invention does not introduce additional parts into the housing, and the mounting of the latter remains simple, easy and fast.
- the present invention is characterized, in principal, in that the conductive terminal connected to the functional block equipping the core of the apparatus comprises a section developing parallel and in the vicinity of the connection face and comprising at least one housing for receiving at the minus one lug protruding from each shell portion towards the interior of the housing. Each lug then fits into a housing so that in the inserted position, the surfaces of the lugs and the housing or in contact position on the one hand the edge-to-edge shell portions to form the plane-like face and oppose their separation.
- each shell portion comprises a lug, the two lugs of the two shell portions cooperating with the same orifice of the conductive terminal.
- each lug has a hemi-cylindrical face oriented towards the edge of the orifice of the conductive terminal, the orifice being of circular shape.
- the lugs and the orifice may take various other forms.
- the shape of the set of two contiguous lugs conforms to the shape of the orifice of the conductive terminal and adjusts to it.
- the conductive terminal may be U-shaped whose base is parallel to the connecting face, a leg of said U forming the connection with the functional block and the other leg comprising a guide hole of the screw of the connection device.
- the terminal is metal, copper type, relatively thick and rigid, so not deforming / not moving or little when tightening the conductor. Moreover, it is an excellent spatial reference since it is ideally placed inside the device, and more precisely centered between the two shell portions forming the housing and in the vicinity of the area at risk of yawning. In addition, its connection to the functional block gives it stability within the device. The terminal is therefore somehow the anchor point of anti-yawning device.
- the lugs are located near the edges or edges of the two shell portions and are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the housing.
- the lugs are preferably molded in one piece with the hull portions to which they belong.
- the figure 1 illustrates a trimodular electrical apparatus (1).
- Each module (2a, 2b, 2c) comprises two adjacent portions of shells (3a, 4a, 3b, 4b, 3c, 4c) assembled by clipping and welding, and forming a housing.
- each module (2a, 2b, 2c) comprises a connection device (5a, 5b, 5c) visible from a connecting face (6a, 6b, 6c).
- the latter is composed of two portions of the adjacent shells (3a, 4a, 3b, 4b, 3c, 4c) and has a connecting window (7a, 7b, 7c) giving access to the connection device (5a, 5b, 5c).
- the latter consists of a cage with terminal and traditional screw.
- a supply conductor (8a, 8b, 8c) can be introduced into this window (7a, 7b, 7c) and then penetrates inside the cage.
- the connection is made by tightening a screw (9a, 9b, 9c) from the face of the perpendicular product and adjacent to the connection face (6a, 6b, 6c), so as to press the conductor ( 8a, 8b, 8c) against a conductive terminal connected to a central functional block of the apparatus (not visible in the figures) which performs its function.
- This clamping causes a tightening torque which can in turn cause a yawn (10a, 10b, 10c) between the two shell portions forming the connecting face (6a, 6b, 6c), as can be seen in FIG. figure 1 because of the stresses then exerted by the cage, which is likely to deform the shell portions (3a, 4a, 3b, 4b, 3c, 4c).
- the figure 2 shows an exploded view of one of the modules (2), with the two shells (3, 4) and the conductive terminal (11), the face in the foreground being that opposite to the connection face (6), the module (2) having been returned to 180 °.
- This terminal (11) is better visible in figure 3 , and is surrounded by two shell portions (3, 4) forming the connecting face (6).
- the first face (19) of the lug (17) thus matches a portion of the circular shape of the orifice (15).
- the invention has been described by means of a particular example of configuration, in particular as regards the shape of the lugs (17) and of the orifice (15) as well as their positioning within the module (2), which is not in no way limiting.
- the invention encompasses all variants of shape and configuration that are within the reach of those skilled in the art.
