Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connection device.
  • Electrical connection devices in particular known from FR 2 792 778 or EP 1341 261 include electrical cable connection terminals provided with springs pressing one end of the cable against a conductive metal piece of the terminal. To connect the cable, a tool must be used to release the spring so that the cable can be inserted against the conductive part.
  • US 9,444,171 discloses a cable connection device, comprising a terminal divided into two parts.
  • the terminal includes a conductive part which also acts as a retaining spring.
  • connection devices do not allow large sections of cables, in particular 2.5 mm 2 , to be connected, while retaining standard dimensions and satisfactory electrical safety parameters.
  • connection elements In addition, mounting the connection elements in the bases of the connection devices requires several operations.
  • the invention intends to remedy by proposing an electrical connection device guaranteeing electrical safety and the assembly of which is facilitated.
  • the invention relates to an electrical connection device for connecting at least one electrical cable, comprising a base and at least one connection terminal mounted in the base, this connection terminal comprising a conductive part, a body and at least one spring adapted to maintain at least one electric cable in contact with this conductive part.
  • This device is characterized in that the body of the terminal is divided into two half-cases assembled together, and the base defines a housing accommodating the body of each terminal, the conductive part being fixed in this housing , and the conductive part comprises a hooking member retaining the body in its housing of the base by elastic cooperation with a part of the body.
  • the distances in the air and the lines of leakage are guaranteed while maintaining a reduced bulk, and the fixing of the terminals in the base is simple, quick and requires only one operation.
  • the figure 1 shows an electrical connection device 2 for connecting at least one electrical cable C.
  • the device 2 comprises a base 4 and at least one connection terminal 6 mounted in the base 4.
  • the device 2 includes two rows of five terminals 6.
  • the device 2 also comprises a cover 8 mounted on the base 4 covering a part thereof, and provided with openings 80 allowing the connection of electric cables.
  • the device 2 is intended to be fixed for example in a wall and connected to an electricity distribution network on a rear face 2a, and connected by cables to various electrical devices on a front face 2b, on the side of which is located cover 8.
  • the cover 8 can be used for mounting and connecting electrical additives.
  • connection terminal 6 comprises a conductive part 10 and at least one spring 12 adapted to hold at least one electrical cable C in contact with this conductive part 10.
  • each terminal 6 comprises two poles 60 and 61, each allowing the connection of an electric cable C.
  • Each terminal 6 comprises a body 14 formed by a rigid piece of material now insulating the various components of the terminal 6.
  • Each terminal 6 comprises a conductive part 10 ensuring electrical contact with the two electrical cables C and retaining the module 16 in the base 4.
  • the conductive part 10 is fixed against the base 4.
  • the base 4 defines, for each terminal 6, a housing 40 accommodating the body 14.
  • the conductive part 10 is fixed in this housing 40, for example by means of a screw 18.
  • the base 4 comprises a fixed contact 42 formed by a metal part located under the conductive part 10 and which allows the circulation of electric current between the upstream and downstream of the device, that is to say between a network and devices connected to the device 2.
  • the conductive part 10 is formed by a bent metal part comprising a central part 100, pressed against the electrical contact 42 in a bottom 40a of the housing 40.
  • the central part 100 has a hole 100a in which screw 18 is inserted.
  • the conductive part 10 also comprises a blade 102 folded with respect to the central part 100, and which is intended to be in contact with the cable C, as can be seen on the figure 5 .
  • the conductive part 10 comprises a hooking member 104 retaining the body 14 in its housing 40 of the base 4 by elastic cooperation with a part of the body 14.
  • the body 14 comprises a deformable tongue 140 cooperating in an elastic manner with the attachment member 104.
  • the free end of this tongue 140 has a protuberance 142 which is received in an orifice 104a of the attachment member 104 to retain the body 14 in the base 4.
  • a main axis X2 of the connection device 2 is defined.
  • This axis X2 is vertical in the drawings, however in the reality of the installation of the device 2, this axis may correspond to a horizontal axis.
  • the deformable tongue 140 When inserting the connection terminal 6 into the base 2, parallel to the axis X2 according to the arrow F1 at the figure 4 , the deformable tongue 140 is deformed until the protuberance 142 is received in the orifice 104a.
  • the protrusion 142 has a bevelled surface 142a, cooperating by sliding with a bevelled surface 104b of the attachment member 104.
  • this cooperation of surfaces deforms the tongue 140 so that the body 14 can advance in the housing 40.
  • the tongue 140 When the protuberance 142 is facing the orifice 104a, the tongue 140 resumes its shape, the protuberance 142 is inserted into the orifice 104a, and the body 14 is retained by the attachment member 104 at a stop surface 104c orthogonal to the main axis X2.
  • the spring 12 is formed by a folded and curved metal blade so as to form two parts 12a and 12b, and a rounded central part 12c lying between the parts 12a and 12b.
  • the central part 12c is mounted around a rounded part 144 of the body 14.
  • the rounded part 12c defines an axis of rotation Y12 orthogonal to the main axis X2.
  • the leaf spring 12 In a free state, that is to say without any other mechanical stress than the prestress necessary for its mounting in the body 14, the leaf spring 12 is deployed as shown in FIG. figure 4 .
  • the part 12a is pressed against the protuberance 142, and the part 12b is moved apart in contact with the blade 102, and obstructs a bore 146 of the body 14 intended to accommodate the cable C.
  • the protuberance 142 of the deformable tongue 140 is kept housed in the orifice 104a by the part 12a of the leaf spring 12.
  • the part 12b When inserting cable C to the figure 5 , the part 12b is moved from its deployed position by rotation along the arrow F2 around the axis Y12, by a stripped end Cd of the cable C.
  • the cable C can then be inserted into the connection terminal 6 and, once the end Cd of the cable C has exceeded the end of the part 12b of the leaf spring 12, to be pressed against the conductive part 10.
  • the leaf spring 12 exerts an elastic force E which tends to bring it back to its deployed position of the figure 4 , and this effort E presses the cable C against the blade 102 of the conductive part 10.
  • This effort E ensures mechanical retention of the cable C and satisfactory electrical contact.
  • the mechanical stress in the spring 12 exerted by the cable C tends to exert an elastic force in the part 12a, which additionally locks the attachment of the protuberance 142 in the attachment member 104 and mechanical retention of terminal 6 in base 4.
  • This system for connecting cable C to terminal 6 by simply inserting cable C into bore 146, known as “push-in”, does not require any tools and saves a great deal of time during electrical installations.
  • the rotational mobility of the part 12b allows a certain latitude in the choice of the sections of usable electric cables. Larger sections of cables than in known devices can be used, and the thicker the cable C, the more the spring 12 is deformed and exerts a significant pressing force E on the cable C and reinforces the mechanical retention of the tongues 140 by the attachment members 104.
  • the terminal 6 comprises a maneuverable element for deformation of the spring leaf 12 which moves the spring leaf 12 from its deployed position towards a retracted position, shown in the figure 6 , in which the cable C can be released from the conductive part 10 and removed from the connection terminal 6.
  • the maneuverable element is a pusher 20 exerting a force against the spring blade 10 so as to separate the part 12b from the conductive part 10 and to release the cable C.
  • the pusher 20 is mounted in the body 14 with the possibility of sliding according to the axis X2 between an extended position ( Figures 4 and 5 ) and a pressed position ( figure 6 ).
  • a tool for example a screwdriver
  • an installer pushes the pusher 20 according to arrow F3 towards its depressed position, against the elastic force of the part 12b of the leaf spring 12. This has the effect to separate part 12b of blade 102 according to arrow F2 in a more pronounced manner than at figure 5 , and the installer can then remove cable C from terminal 6.
  • Each terminal 6 comprises a module 16 formed by the body 14 of the terminal 6 divided into two half-housings 16a and 16b assembled together.
  • Each module 16 also includes two spring blades 12, each being assembled with one of the two half-boxes 16a and 16b.
  • the module 16 also includes two maneuverable elements 20, each being assembled with one of the two half-housings 16a and 16b.
  • the structure of the terminals 6 with modules 16 saves time during the assembly of the devices.
  • the modules 16 can be assembled separately and distributed on the assembly line of the devices, then mounted in the bases 4, in which the conductive parts 10 have previously been fixed, simply and quickly thanks to the method of assembly by elastic cooperation. between the bodies 14 and the conductive parts 10.
  • the half-boxes 16a and 16b of each module 16 are assembled by means of fixing elements.
  • these fastening elements may include a finger 148 provided on the half-housing 16a which is inserted in a hollow relief not visible in the half-housing 16b, and a similar system comprising a hole 149 in the half-housing 16a and a protruding element 150 provided in the half-housing 16b ( figure 5 ).
  • the two half-boxes 16a and 16b are retained in the base 4 by the same conductive part 10.
  • Each half-boxes 16a and 16b for this purpose comprises a deformable tongue 140 provided with a protuberance 142 at its end.

  • the modules 16 are juxtaposed to each other by cooperation of an external face S160a of a side wall 160a of a half-casing 16a of a first module 16 and of an external face S160b of a side wall 160b d 'a half box 16b of a second module 16.
  • the terminals 6 are juxtaposed by surface contact between the external faces S160a and S160b of the half housings 16a and 16b belonging to two separate modules 16 juxtaposed.
  • these side walls 160a and 160b separating two poles 60 and 61 from two different terminals 6 make it possible to guarantee the distances in the air and the minimum leakage line lengths required for this type of electrical connection device.
  • these walls 160a and 160b have a thickness e160, visible at the figure 7 , taken along the axis Y12, which increase the amount of insulating material of the bodies 14 and the distance between the parts capable of conducting the current, that is to say the springs 12 and the parts conductive 10, from two different terminals.
  • the length of the creepage distances between two terminals 6 is at least equal to twice the thickness e160.
