Definitions
- the present invention relates to electrical equipment, in particular a switch, for plinth or column mounting, comprising a box of parallelepiped shape, a manual control member mounted on the front of the housing and a mechanism closing and opening of an electrical circuit coupled to said manual control member and housed inside said housing, said manual control member being able to be mounted on the housing in a first and in a second position,
- US-A-4,682,830 describes a switch terminal for a portable power tool electric.
- the metal body of the switch has a cylindrical shape allowing a angular orientation of the terminal by rotation of the whole body.
- the present invention proposes to overcome this drawback by providing solutions allowing plinth or column mounting of electrical equipment, and in particular switches, without it being necessary to access the inside of the case to reverse the mechanism, and retaining the positioning of the connection terminals.
- FIG. 1 represents a perspective view illustrating a set of apparatus according to the invention, mounted on the plinth.
- This is in particular a first type of switch 10 mounted in a narrow housing 10a, of a second type of switch 11 mounted in one half of a wide housing 11a, the width of which is substantially double that of the housing 10a, of a third type of switch 12 mounted centrally in a large housing 12a, substantially identical to the housing 11a and a junction box 13 or a block of protection, or similar, consisting of a housing 13a having the shape and dimensions substantially equal to those of the large housings 11a and 12a. All the boxes of switchgear has a parallelepiped shape.
- FIG. 2 represents a perspective view illustrating the same apparatuses as those of Figure 1, but mounted in a column.
- the same devices have the same numbers reference.
- control members switches are operated in the same way, i.e. they are identically positioned.
- these members are levers tilting.
- FIGS 3A, 3B and 4A, 4B represent perspective views illustrating the open and closed positions of a switch of the type with tilting handle respectively mounted in plinth and in column.
- This switch comprises a housing 20 shown in broken lines, a mechanism 21 housed inside this case and a tilting handle 22 mounted on the case and arranged to control the opening and closing mechanism of two contacts 23 and 24 including one 23 is fixed and integral with the housing and the other 24 is mobile and linked to the mechanism.
- This the latter is composed of a bistable rocker 25 and a connecting rod 26 which couples the scale 25 in movable contact 24.
- the scale is a gutter-shaped part whose upper edges are equipped with two horns 27 and 28, arranged in opposition and the function is to cooperate with the tilting lever to move the rocker from a first position illustrated by FIGS. 3A and 4A where the contacts are open, in a second position illustrated in FIGS. 3B and 4B where the contacts are closed.
- the joystick tilting has two lower bearing surfaces, forming a dihedral. Each of horns 27, 28 cooperate with one of said bearing surfaces.
- the position of the tilting lever 22 is offset 90 ° from its position for plinth mounting.
- This reversal can be made directly by the installer, the other components of the switch remaining by otherwise identical, in particular the positioning of the connection terminals.
- This construction avoids the realization of two types of products and the obligation to the installer to manage a stock of two series of devices, one of the series being intended for plinth mounting and the other series being for column mounting.
- the movable contact 24 is articulated on a fixed axis 29, shown schematically. It is also connected electrically to a terminal 30 by a metal braid 31.
- the fixed contact 23 is electrically connected to a terminal 32 by a metal braid 33.
- the rocker 25 is housed in a cradle (not shown) molded inside the housing 20, this cradle serving as a support seat in its two stable positions and in the intermediate positions it occupies from one to the other of said stable positions.
- FIGS 5A, 5B and 6A, 6B show perspective views illustrating the positions open and closed of a rotary switch type switch respectively mounted in plinth and column.
- this switch has a housing 40 shown in broken lines, a mechanism 41 housed inside this case and a rotary or orientable lever 42 mounted on the housing and arranged to control said mechanism.
- the latter is designed to ensure the opening and closing of two contacts 43 and 44, one of which 43 is fixed and integral with the housing and the other of which 44 is movable and linked to mechanism.
- This mechanism is in this case composed of a pinion or a sector at least partially toothed 45 which is coupled to said lever by means of a section rod 46 square engaged in a central recess of the same shape, formed in said pinion.
- This pinion 45 meshes with another at least partially toothed pinion or sector 47 which is coupled by means of a link 48 to one end 49 of the movable contact 44.
- This contact mobile is articulated on a fixed axis 50 shown schematically and which is mounted rigidly inside the case.
- the movable contact 44 is electrically connected by a metal braid 51 to a connection terminal 52, and the fixed contact 43 is electrically connected by a metallic braid 53 to a connection terminal 54.
- Figures 7A, 7B and 8A, 8B show perspective views illustrating the positions open and closed of a switch of the multidirectional actuating member type, mounted in plinth and column respectively.
- This switch comprises a housing 60 shown in broken lines, a mechanism 61 housed inside this box and a control lever of the actuator type multidirectional 62 mounted on the housing and arranged to control said mechanism.
- This the latter is intended to ensure the opening and closing of two contacts 63 and 64, one of which 63 is fixed and integral with the housing and the other 64 of which is movable and linked to the mechanism.
- This mechanism consists in this case in a very simple way of a double link angled 65 in the form of a crank, one end of which is integral with the lever and mounted in its extension, and the other end of which is linked to one end 66 of the contact mobile 64.
- This mobile contact is articulated around a fixed axis 67, shown schematically and integral with the housing.
- the fixed contact 63 is electrically connected to a connection terminal 68 by a metal braid 69 and the movable contact 64 is electrically connected to a connection terminal 70 by a metallic braid 71.
- the actuation of the lever in one direction or the other causes the pivoting of the connecting rod 65 and the opening or closing of the contacts or, more precisely, the tilting of the movable contact 64 around its axis of rotation 67.
- the position of the lever is offset by 90 ° depending on whether the switch is mounted on a plinth or in a column, so that the user finds in both cases identical directions of actuation causing same effects.
