Description

\O
SROCKER-CONNECTION
CONNECTOR
;Z
The present invention relates to a connecting device for electrical conductors 00 including two cage-spring connectors fixed to at least one conductive terminal. In the hypothesis envisaged, these two cage-spring connectors are preferably superposed and, in principle cannot be controlled at the same time.
The two connectors thus cannot be simultaneously opened, especially because the device according to the present invention is based on a single control element which is movable between two positions that correspond respectively to the opening of the two ,I 10 connectors, being also capable of taking a resting position corresponding to the simultaneous closing of both connectors.
In other words, in the absence of action the two connectors are closed. If an action aimed at driving the control element into a first position is performed, only one of the two connectors opens to the exclusion of the other. If an action is exerted to move said control element toward a second position, the other of the connectors is opened, the first remaining closed.
In fact, said control element consists of a rotary rocker made of an insulating material, provided with a connector actuating arm, placed at rest between the connectors which are superposed and arranged in such a manner that one is a mirror image of the other, the actuating arm being in contact with rounded portions of the two cage-spring connectors, the rounded portions of the connectors being distal to flat portions of the two cage-spring connectors, which flat portions are fixed to the terminal. The actuating arm pushes one or the other of the connectors at the rounded portions in the direction of rotation imparted to the arm. A rotary configuration is involved, and the two positions mentioned above correspond to the ends of the angular displacement of the actuating arm. This arm is placed between the two cage-spring connectors, and acts only on one of the connectors at any one time, because of the symmetrical arrangement and the rotary movement imparted on it.
Preferably the two connectors are fixed to the same conductive terminal, having two parallel branches on which are fixed the flat portion of the two cage-spring connectors and a connecting plate which joins the two branches. This configuration gives to the terminal a U-shaped geometry rotated by 90' The connecting plate joining 07/06/06.sw 12967speci, I -2-
\O
the two branches extends laterally to the actuating arm, which moves between the two Sbranches.
'n In other words the terminal is configured in the form of a stirrup which oO 00 integrates two cage-spring connectors, a space being provided between them to allow the actuating arm to be manipulated.
More preferably the axis of rotation of the rotary rocker is in the plane of symmetry of the configuration of the two connectors and outside a virtual volume Ci enveloping them.
The gap of the axis of rotation in relation to the subset consisting of the i 10 terminal and the two cage-spring connectors reduces the force applied by the actuating arm on the two cage-spring connectors.
For obvious manipulating reasons the rotary rocker has a second arm, arranged substantially in parallel to the axis of superposition of the two cage-spring connectors, and provided at a free end with a head for manipulating by a tool blade.
The two arms of the rotary rocker are in fact substantially perpendicular and the rotary rocker thus behaves like an angle gear box: every operation carried out at the level of the free end of the second arm, which is necessarily an angular movement since the control element is rotary, is passed onto the actuating arm which, in turn, undergoes a curvilinear movement.
For reasons involving ease of use, the two arms are substantially of the same length, so that an angular displacement imparted to one is substantially found at the level of the other.
Preferably one of the two parallel branches of the stirrup (terminal) has a projection perpendicular to said branch.
The projection allows a test of the quality of connection of conductors that are connected by the device as will be explained later.
Alternatively the connecting device according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is also based on a single control element that is also movable between two positions, may control only one of the two cage-spring connectors. In this case, a first resting position corresponds to the closing of a first connector of the two cage-spring connectors, while the second position corresponds to the opening of the same connector. In this embodiment the control element also has 07/06/06,sw I 2967speci,2
\O
means for guiding a tool blade used for opening a second connector of the two cage- Sspring connectors.
As in the preceding embodiment the control element consists of a rotary rocker 00oO 0made of an insulating material, provided with an actuating arm placed in contact with a rounded portion of the first connector of the two cage-spring connectors of the connecting device. The actuating arm controls the first cage-spring connector at the rounded portion, which rounded portion is distal to a flat portion of the same connector which is fixed to the conductive terminal.
As indicated, the main difference lies in the fact that the rotary rocker acts on (i 10 only one of the two cage-spring connectors.
In this configuration the second connector is always placed above the first, the two cage-spring connectors being fixed on the same terminal, on two branches connected by a plate which extends laterally to the actuating arm which moves between said branches. The terminal is again defined by a U-shaped structure rotated by 900.
However, this terminal only surrounds the actuating arm and the first connector which the arm controls. The second connector is placed outside the branch which supports it.
Another structural difference appears at this stage, since in the first embodiment, the two cage-spring connectors were contained in the volume defined by the terminal while at present, only one of two is integrated in the volume defined by this terminal.
Preferably the branch supporting the second connector outside the U-shaped structure (terminal) is slanted in relation to the other branch, in the direction of the axis of rotation of the actuating arm, which is situated outside a virtual volume which surrounds the two superposed connectors.
This incline renders its control easier, as the movable portion (rounded portion) of the second cage-spring connector is then slanted in relation to the tool blade.
This connecting device is provided with means for guiding a tool blade which includes a transverse recess made in the side of the actuating arm opposite the side which is in contact with the first cage-spring connector which it controls. More specifically this recess is on the portion of the actuating arm which is outside the aforementioned virtual volume, which makes it possible, on the one hand, to achieve an 07106/06,sw 12967speci.3 incline of the tool blade to enhance the efficiency of its action on the second cage-spring Sconnector and, on the other, to reduce the force applied.
nAs in the preceding embodiment, the rotary rocker has a second arm, oriented 00 substantially parallel to the axis of superposition of the two cage-spring connectors, provided at its free end with a head for manipulating by a tool blade, and at the foot of which are found the means for guiding a tool blade.
These guiding means have, as mentioned, a recess transverse to the actuating arm, which can also be analysed into a mechanical stop at the bottom of which the free end of the tool blade can rotate.
10 The present invention also relates to modular electrical apparatus provided with at least one connecting device according to the present invention. Such apparatus is characterized in that it has, in the faqade of its box accessible to a user, at least one orifice which allows access via a tool to the control element of the two cage-spring connectors. This feature is valid for both embodiments.
Regarding the second embodiment, the modular electrical apparatus also has, in the facade of its box accessible to a user, at least one orifice which allows access to the means for guiding a tool blade for controlling one of the two cage-spring connectors. This orifice can be common to both means for controlling the two cagespring connectors.
Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a connecting device for electrical conductors made in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the invention; Fig. 2 shows the device of Fig. 1 integrated into a modular electrical apparatus; Fig. 3 is a perspective view indicating the working of the modular electrical apparatus of Fig. 2 provided with the device of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a connecting device for electrical conductors made in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the invention; Fig. 5 shows the device of Fig. 4 integrated into a modular electrical apparatus; and Fig. 6 shows the working of the modular electrical apparatus of Fig. 5 provided with the connecting device of Figs. 4 and 07/06/06,sw 1 2967speci,4
\O
O Referring to Fig. 1, the terminal can be considered as the base of the Sstructure. Indeed, the terminal gives to the whole assembly its specific geometry, symmetrical orientation, according to which the two cage-spring connectors and (3) 00oO are arranged in such a manner that one is the mirror of the other inside the two branches 5) of the terminal The main plate which connects the branches and has a length so as to allow an actuating arm to be inserted between the two cagespring connectors and This actuating arm is one of the components of the rotary rocker making up the control element which also has a second arm at the free end of which there is a 10 head which makes it possible to operate the rotary rocker with the help of a tool.
Said head schematically shown in Fig. 1, has a recess which accommodates the tip or blade of an operating tool.
In the upper part of the terminal perpendicular to the branch is found a projection (10) which allows the quality of connections of conductors (16) to be tested, especially when the connecting device is used in modular electrical apparatuses.
The working is as follows: when the rotary rocker is rotated around the axis A, for example with the help of the blade of a tool inserted in the actuating head (see Figs. 2 and the angular displacement imparted to the arm is passed onto the actuating arm which, in turn, exerts an action on one of the two cage-spring connectors and in the direction of rotation. Thus, ifa rotation is imparted on the arm toward the right of the figure, the rounded portion the cage-spring connector (2) will be pushed towards a flat portion of the same connector which results in the opening of the cage-spring connector At this time, the cage-spring connector remains in the closed position. Inversely, when the arm undergoes a rotation toward the left of the figure, it is the rounded portion of the cage-spring connector which is displaced towards its flat portion, allowing the cage-spring connector to open.
Fig. 2 shows a connecting device according to the present invention installed in a modular electrical apparatus whose box is only shown in part. The operating head of the arm is placed at the level of an opening made in the facade of said box. This head is then accessible to be operated with the help of a tool blade (11), the opening being sized so as to allow sufficient angular displacement in the two directions of rotation.
07/06/06,sw 12967speci,5 -6- It should be noted that the projection (10) is located at the place of an opening S(12) made in the facade of the box making it possible to test connections of nconductors after the product has been mounted. In the configuration shown, the oO 00 terminal is arranged almost vertically, the actuating arm being arranged substantially horizontally.
The orifices (13, 14) made in the lateral wall of the box of the modular apparatus (see Fig. 3) allow cables to be inserted to connect to the apparatus. These orifices (13, 14) are naturally situated respectively above and below the branches (4) and of the terminal These orifices (13, 14) are made, for example, in a guiding o10 bushing (15) which facilitates the insertion of the conductors (16) as shown in Fig. 3.
This figure shows clearly that the length of the orifice which allows an angular displacement shown by the arrows, is sufficient to drive the arm whose displacement is passed onto the actuating arm Fig. 4 relates to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the first embodiment in that the conductive terminal now supports only one of the two cage-spring connectors inside the terminal which it makes up, while the other cage-spring connector is located outside the upper branch of the terminal For the sake of clarity of the description, the same references are retained in the two embodiments because they relate to functionally identical components. The actuating arm in this embodiment, controls only the cage-spring connector The cage-spring connector (the upper connector) is directly controlled by the blade of a tool which is guided in its movement by a stop (13) situated at the base of the arm The blade of said tool (11) rotates in this stop, said rotation being subsequently passed onto the cage-spring connector to open it.
The stirrup configuration of the terminal is more compact than in the preceding embodiment, and characterized by having an upper branch which is slanted in relation to the lower branch The specific positioning which results for the cage-spring connector makes it possible to improve the action of the blade of the tool and also to provide in the terminal a space above the actuating arm to insert a conductor (16) when the connector is opened.
07/0606,sw 1 2967speci,6 -7-
\O
The rotary rocker composed of the arms and also behaves in the same Smanner as in the preceding embodiment, as an angle gear box which passes the angular displacement imparted at the level of the actuating head onto the actuating arm in 00 0contact with the cage-spring connector (lower connector).
Fig. 5 shows the second embodiment integrated in the box of a modular electrical apparatus which is shown only in part. It should be noted that the orifice (O) made in the fagade of said box must now allow access to the actuating head (9) on the one hand, and the guiding stop (13) on the other.
The location of the projection (10) in this embodiment is also different to that N 10 shown in the first embodiment. It is no longer in a plane parallel to the main plate of the terminal but in the same plane as the openings of the two cage-spring connectors and Fig. 6, a counterpart of Fig. 3 for the second embodiment, shows the closed box, the orifices (13, 14) for inserting the conductors (16) being made anew in a drill bushing The orifice (12) for inserting testing means is now also made in the drill bushing (15) at the centre of its upper side so as to be situated at the right of the in its new location.
The description above naturally relates only to non-limiting examples of the invention which, on the contrary, incudes variants of forms and configurations which are within the reach of the person skilled in the art.
