Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical terminal block intended in particular for ensuring the distribution of electrical energy from a head device such as a circuit breaker, fixed on a rail, to starting devices such as a differential switch or divisional circuit breakers.
  • Terminal blocks of the kind mentioned above are known, as described in patent application No. 2677179 and comprising one or more conductive bars having connection orifices and locking screws, said bars being supported at their two ends by two supports in insulating material removably attached to the rail. These bars extending parallel to the rail, are electrically connected on the one hand, each, to one of the output terminals of the head device and on the other hand, to the starting devices via the orifices and aforementioned screws.
  • Terminal blocks which have the form of a connection block inside which bars are fixed, said block comprising on its rear face means for detachable attachment to the rail and on its front face, means for connecting the bars. cables connected to starting devices.
  • this type of terminal block has only a predetermined number of connection points corresponding to the number of orifices provided on the bars or connection means provided on the block.
  • these connection points being uniform, these terminal blocks do not have a great ease of assembly, in particular for cables of large section which need to be bent at their end, in the same way as cables of small section.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks and proposes a terminal block, of simple design, making it possible to increase the number of connection points as required while facilitating the connection of cables.
  • a terminal block B removably attached to a mounting rail 12 and intended to be associated with a head unit such as a circuit breaker or a main switch (not shown), in order to ensuring the distribution of energy inside a switchboard from the head device to the starting devices (not shown), such as divisional circuit breakers, contactors, differential switches, etc.
  • This terminal block B according to a particular embodiment of the invention, comprises two connection blocks 1, 2 of the four-pole type, juxtaposed on the same rail 12 and each constituted by a housing having on its rear face 1b, 2b, a groove lc intended for mounting the block on the rail 12. Inside the housing are fixed four conductive bars 3 (not visible in FIG. 1 but visible at 3 in FIG.
  • Each block of connection 1, 2 comprises on its front face the, 2a, substantially facing each of the bars, four rows 8, 9, 10, 11 of connection means 7 also extending perpendicularly to the rail 12.
  • the front face 1a, 2a, of each block 1, 2 consists of two connection zones 4, 5 and 6 offset in depth relative to one another.
  • the least recessed connection area 6 groups together the connection means 7 ensuring the connection of cables of small section.
  • the most recessed connection area consists of two parts 4, 5, respectively located at the upper part and at the lower part of the block, and comprises connection means 7 intended for the connection of cables of large section.
  • the housing of each block 1, 2 has a projecting part in the shape of a nose 1d, 2d, the bars 3 located inside being formed so as to match the shape of the front face 1a, 2a, of the housing 1, 2. It can thus be seen in FIG. 2, that each bar 3 is made up of three portions of bars perpendicular to the rail connected by two portions of horizontal bars.
  • each connection block 1, 2 in the figures is in one piece but could as well be modular per phase.
  • each connection block 1, 2 comprises, at its lower part, for each of the phases, two connection terminals 13 to 20 of the screw cage type.
  • the four bars 3 and rows of connection means 8 to 11 belonging to each of the blocks 1, 2, are respectively associated with the neutral, and with phases 1, 2 and 3.
  • the first 13, 15, 17, 19 of the connection terminals 13 to 20, for each of the phases, is intended to connect the bar concerned to the corresponding output terminal of the head unit, while the second 14, 16, 18, 20 connects the same bar 3 to the second terminal of the same phase, from the adjacent connection block (for example 2 in FIG. 1) located downstream.
  • terminals 13, 15, 17, 19 will be respectively connected to the various output terminals of the head unit, while the terminals 14, 16, 18, 20 will be connected respectively to the terminals 24, 26, 28, 30 of the second connection block 2. It will be noted that if the terminal block B had only a single block 1, the second terminals 14, 16, 18, 20 of each phase could be connected to output cables to starting or other devices.
  • connection blocks can be juxtaposed downstream of a head device by making their electrical connections in the manner described above by means of cables or a connection comb.
  • the connection means 7 provided on the front face 1a, 2a, of blocks 1, 2 are of the so-called rapid spring type, and each comprise two orifices 21, 22 of circular section and square section respectively , the first 21 being intended for the introduction of a cable while the other 22 allows the introduction of a spring actuation tool forming a clamp electrically connected to the bar 3.
  • the terminal block B produced increases the number bypass points depending on demand, by increasing the number of juxtaposed blocks 1, 2.
  • connection planes 4 and 5 located behind blocks 1, 2, which greatly facilitates the operations of connecting these cables which are more difficult to bend than cables of small section.
  • the aforementioned springs 23 are fixed under tension, side by side, on the aforementioned bars 3 so as to each cooperate with two orifices 21, 22 of the block 1 aligned parallel to the direction of the rail 12.
  • Each spring 23 is formed mainly by an elastic blade bent twice, substantially in the form of a closed loop on itself, said spring 23 comprising a first end 23a fixed on the contact plate 27 and a second end 23b having an opening 28 passed through by the first end 23a and intended during the connection of a cable, to retain the latter between a clamping edge 29 of said opening 28 and the aforementioned first end 23a.
  • connection block 1 is constituted by two parts 30, 31 each comprising insulating walls 24 intended to separate the springs 23 and joined in a plane substantially parallel to the direction of the rail.
  • This embodiment has great compactness, great ease and speed of assembly and makes it possible to make each spring independent and therefore the various points of contact between them.
  • the bars are of particularly simple design since they are formed from solid copper conductors cut and folded according to the shape of the front face of the box.
  • this type of terminal block B is suitable for example for the connection of branch cables whose section can vary from 1.5 to 25 mm 2 and can be placed on a DIN profile both on the left and on the right of a switchboard or group head device, of the unipolar, bipolar, tripolar, four-pole, etc. type
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and illustrated, which has been given only by way of example.
  • the invention includes all the embodiments of terminal blocks having starting connections in different planes in depth, the latter being adapted to the radius of curvature of the cables.
