Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is a device for connecting insulated electrical conductors by insulation displacement connector comprising a conductive connection piece of the fork or clamp type with at least two elastic branches providing between them a slot in which the electrical conductor to be connected is inserted.
  • the connecting piece being intended to be introduced into a cell of a base made of insulating material, characterized in that the connecting piece of the double fork type has two inclined slots whose axes converge towards the top of the connector.
  • connection piece comprises at least one accentuated boss on the internal edge of one of the branches of the connection piece, a boss situated between the bottom of the slot and the opening of the slot and intended for a part to calibrate the opening of the slot and secondly to retain the conductor in the slot after its establishment and the boss is obtained by pushing, stamping, stamping or the like, executed near the edge of said slot but at a certain distance from said edge so as not to reduce the thickness of the part on its edge.
  • connection part comprises an orifice formed in the central branch intended to hang in a stud, carried by the support so as to immobilize the central branch during the introduction of a conductor into a slot the connecting piece.
  • the fork connection piece shown in the figures is made from a spring-quality metallic material, according to a known manufacturing process.
  • It consists of 3 branches: a left side branch 1, a central branch 2, a right side branch 3.
  • V-shaped slots Between the branches are V-shaped slots: left slot 4, right slot 5, the openings 6 and 7 of which are strictly identical in size and adapted to the diameters of the conductors.
  • the conductors are inserted one after the other, each in their respective slots, up to a certain distance from the inlet.
  • the conductor 8 is pushed into the slot 5 (according to FIG. 2); as and when it moves the elastic branches 2 and 3 are progressively spaced from each other which has the effect of increasing the opening 7 but also and above all would have the effect of reducing the opening 6 if the central branch was not maintained.
  • a feature of the present invention aims to remedy this kind of drawback.
  • an insulating support 10 is provided the housing 11 of the fork 12. Inside the housing 11 a rigid stud 13 will be placed in a hole 14 formed in the central branch 2 of the fork. Under these conditions, it can be seen that the introduction of the conductor 8 into the slot 5 progressively separates the right lateral branch 3 from the central branch 2 in the direction of the arrow C. It there is displacement only of the side branch 3 only because the central branch 2 is held stationary by the stud 13 passing through the orifice 14. As a result, the opening 6 of the slot 4 does not vary any more, whence an opening dimension which remains well suited to the diameters of the conductors to be inserted.
  • FIG. 3 shows an exemplary embodiment allowing both the reduction of the precision of the crushing and the improvement of the retention of the conductive wire in the slot of the fork.
  • the spacing of the lateral branches 1 and 3 relative to the central branch 2 is obtained by crushing 37 and 38 and displacement of the metal of the central branch 2 no longer at the base of the slots 4 and 5 but at an intermediate distance between the base and the top of the slot, crushings which cause bosses 59.
  • Figure 3 shows that for the same opening the value of the crushing is less critical than in the case of Figure 2 due to its reduced distance from the top of the slot.
  • FIG. 3 shows an example of use.
  • the fork being placed in its insulating support 10, the central branch 2 is immobilized by the stud 13 passing through the orifice 14 of the central branch.
  • a conducting wire 8 is inserted into the slot 5 until it rests on the upper face 28 of the insulating support 10. At this time the conducting wire 8 is below the level of the crush 38.
  • the face 28 thus determines the lower limit the position that the boss 59 can take
  • the crushing of the material which forms the stop must not reduce the thickness of the metal in the bearing area 58 of the boss 59 against the opposite branch (see Figure 4 section IV-IV of Figure 3).
  • the crushings 36 and 37 are carried out simultaneously by a punch in full material on the two faces 54 and 55 of the branch 2 at a certain distance 57 from the support zone 58, thus pushing the material back without reducing its thickness. in the same way on the two faces 54 and 55.
  • the crushings instead of being carried out on only one of the two branches forming the slot, can be provided in smaller dimensions on either side of the slot on each of the branches.
  • the outer dimensions of the forks vary depending on the state of the idle or working fork. On a fork in the rest state the size of the end of the fork is less than the size of the base of the fork.
  • the shape of the stop can be of different types. Furthermore, this device is equally applicable to forks comprising one or more slots (single, double, triple forks, etc.).
  • FIG. 5 shows a variant connector in which the bosses have the shape of a harpoon 67, 68. They are obtained by means of a triangular-shaped die cut 69, 70.
  • the shape of the bosses 67, 68 allows the introduction of the conductive wire 8 while preventing the exit of this conductor when a tensile force is exerted on this conductive wire in the direction of the opening of the slot.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show an exemplary embodiment which provides a reduction in the dimensions of the fork both at the end and at the base, without detracting from the mechanical characteristics from which the electrical characteristics derive.
  • the central branch 62 has a slight triangular shape so that the slots 64 and 65 are not parallel but are placed on axes which converge towards a point located beyond the top of the fork.
  • the openings 66 and 67 formed in the base of the fork are not parallel but are placed on axes which converge towards a point situated beyond the base of the fork.
  • the slots 64 and 65 can be extended by slots 76, 77 which are mutually parallel or have different inclinations from the slots 64 and 65.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to keep the lateral branches 61 and 63 of sufficient material sections in the active parts in particular in the zones 71 and 72 on the one hand and 73 and 74 on the other part, while reducing both the top and bottom dimensions.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 shows such a fork in the working state in which a wire 8 is inserted, it can then be seen that the dimension at the top remains less than the dimension of the base of the fork 75.
  • insulation displacement contacts with pressure contacts by pressure, in particular with radial pressure either external or internal, which are respectively double forks terminated by contacts with external and then internal radial pressure, and contacts with simple fork terminated by contacts with external and internal radial pressure.
  • This fork placed in an insulating support is extended at its base by two elastic tabs 80 and 81 provided with contact pads 82 and 83, which pads must in principle come to bear in a U-shaped metal part 84 .
  • the stud 82 When the fork is in the rest state, left part of the figure, the stud 82 is under pressure therefore ensures electrical contact with the part 84.
  • the lateral branch 63 moves to the right in the direction of the arrow H by pivoting around a fictitious articulation point 88 located at the base of the clearance light 67. If the bridge 90 did not exist, in its pivoting the lateral branch 63 would cause the elastic tab 81, thus displacing the stud 83 of the metal part 84 and thereby reducing the contact pressure. Assuming the left part of the fork also in the working position, the pressure then exerted by the studs 82 and 83 on the metal part 84 could become zero, thus causing the interruption of the electrical circuit.
  • the elastic tabs 80 and 81 are joined together using a bridge 90 which will have the role of suppressing the rotational movement communicated by the lateral branch 63 to the elastic tab 81, now therefore the stud 83 in permanent contact 85 with the metal part 84.
  • the same reasoning is valid for the left-hand side of the fork when the latter is also in the working position. Any intervention on the fork part will therefore have no repercussions on the pressure contact part. By way of reciprocity, any intervention on the pressure contact part will have no repercussions on the fork part.
