Description
La présente invention concerne d'une manière générale le raccordement d'un câble électrique à un élément conducteur.The present invention relates generally to the connection from an electric cable to a conductive element.
Elle vise plus particulièrement le cas où, présentant localement au moins un perçage taraudé, cet élément conducteur forme par lui-même une borne de connexion à vis.It relates more particularly to the case where, locally presenting at least a threaded hole, this conductive element by itself forms a terminal screw connection.
Cela est le cas, par exemple, de certaines au moins des barres équipant les armoires électriques, et cela est le cas, également, des barreaux que comportent au moins certains répartiteurs.This is the case, for example, of at least some of the bars fitted electrical cabinets, and this is also the case with the bars that have at least some distributors.
Il est connu, dans de tels cas, de rapporter, en pratique par sertissage, sur l'extrémité préalablement dénudée d'un câble électrique à raccorder, une cosse comportant une oreille par laquelle l'ensemble peut venir en prise avec la vis d'une des bornes de connexion de l'élément conducteur concerné.It is known in such cases to report, in practice by crimping, on the previously stripped end of an electrical cable to be connected, a pod with an ear through which the assembly can engage with the screw of one of the connection terminals of the conductive element concerned.
Mais, pour des raisons pratiques, il est de plus en plus fréquemment substitué à une telle cosse un embout de câblage, qui présente avantageusement une collerette en matière isolante par laquelle il est engagé sur la gaine isolante du câble électrique sur lequel il est rapporté, mais dont la partie active métallique, formant cosse, est dépourvue de toute oreille.But, for practical reasons, it is more and more frequently substituted for such a terminal a cable end, which has advantageously a collar of insulating material by which it is engaged on the insulating sheath of the electric cable on which it is attached, but the active metal part, forming a pod, is devoid of any ear.
Il a été proposé de mettre en oeuvre, dans un tel cas, un connecteur adapté à former un adaptateur entre le câble électrique équipé de son embout de câblage et l'élément conducteur auquel il doit être raccordé.It has been proposed to implement, in such a case, a connector suitable for forming an adapter between the electric cable fitted with its end and the conductive element to which it must be connected.
Ce connecteur, qui est en pratique en métal, et qui peut tout aussi bien être mis en oeuvre pour un câble électrique nu, c'est-à-dire pour un câble électrique dépourvu d'embout de câblage, comporte un bloc de câblage, qui, pour l'engagement du câble électrique, présente au moins un perçage appartenant à une borne de connexion, ce perçage étant recoupé par un trou taraudé avec lequel est en prise une vis de serrage associée à ladite borne de connexion, la face d'entrée du bloc de câblage sur laquelle débouche le perçage s'étendant globalement en oblique par rapport à l'axe de ce perçage.This connector, which is in practice made of metal, and which can just as well be used for a bare electrical cable, i.e. for a cable electric without cable end, has a wiring block, which, for engaging the electric cable, has at least one hole belonging to a connection terminal, this hole being cut by a hole threaded with which is engaged a clamping screw associated with said terminal connection, the entry face of the wiring block on which the hole opens extending generally obliquely to the axis of this hole.
Un tel connecteur est par exemple décrit dans le document DE-A-1 230 875.Such a connector is for example described in the document DE-A-1 230 875.
La présente invention a d'une manière générale pour objet des dispositions permettant de faciliter la mise en oeuvre d'un tel connecteur. The present invention generally relates to provisions to facilitate the implementation of such a connector.
De manière plus précise, elle a pour objet un connecteur du genre concerné, qui, suivant une première de ces dispositions, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une embase de fixation, qui est adaptée à permettre l'assujettissement de l'ensemble à l'élément conducteur auquel ce câble électrique doit être raccordé, en ce que la face d'entrée du bloc de câblage fait globalement un dièdre aigu avec une face d'appui sensiblement plane par laquelle l'embase de fixation est adaptée à être appliquée à l'élément conducteur, et en ce que le trou taraudé recoupant le perçage débouche sur la face du bloc de câblage opposée à l'embase de fixation.More specifically, it relates to a connector of the kind concerned, which, according to a first of these provisions, is characterized in that that it comprises a fixing base, which is adapted to allow the subjection of the assembly to the conductive element to which this cable must be connected, in that the entry face of the wiring block overall an acute dihedral with a substantially planar bearing face by which the mounting base is adapted to be applied to the element conductor, and in that the tapped hole intersecting the bore leads to the side of the wiring block opposite the mounting base.
Grâce à cette disposition, l'entrée du perçage se trouve encore visible lorsque le connecteur est observé en vue de dessus, ce qui, en permettant d'opérer à vue, facilite avantageusement l'engagement du câble électrique dans ce perçage.Thanks to this arrangement, the entrance to the hole is still visible when the connector is viewed from above, thereby allowing operating on sight, advantageously facilitates the engagement of the electric cable in this piercing.
Cet avantage est particulièrement appréciable lorsque l'élément conducteur sur lequel se fait ainsi le raccordement du câble électrique est une barre d'armoire électrique ou un barreau de répartiteur, parce que ce raccordement intervient alors dans un environnement généralement encombré, sans grande visibilité.This advantage is particularly appreciable when the element conductor to which the electrical cable connection is made is a electrical cabinet bar or splitter bar, because this connection then occurs in a generally congested environment, without high visibility.
Suivant une deuxième disposition, le connecteur de l'invention est encore caractérisé en ce que son embase de fixation se réduit à une platine vis-à-vis de laquelle fait saillie son bloc de câblage.According to a second arrangement, the connector of the invention is still characterized in that its fixing base is reduced to a plate opposite which protrudes its wiring block.
Outre la simplicité de réalisation à laquelle elle conduit, cette disposition se prête avantageusement à un développement suivant lequel le perçage que comporte le bloc de câblage traverse de part en part ce bloc de câblage.In addition to the simplicity of construction to which it leads, this arrangement advantageously lends itself to a development according to which the drilling that comprises the wiring block runs right through this wiring block.
Ainsi, une fois l'embout de câblage du câble électrique engagé dans ce perçage, il est avantageusement possible de contrôler, à vue, en vue de dessus, que la mise en place du câble électrique est correcte, ce qui est effectivement le cas lorsqu'il est possible de constater que l'embout de câblage ressort de l'autre côté du bloc de câblage.Thus, once the wiring end of the electric cable engaged in this drilling, it is advantageously possible to control, on sight, in top view, that the installation of the electric cable is correct, which is actually the case when it is possible to see that the cable end comes out from the other side of the wiring block.
Pour favoriser cette émergence tout en conservant avantageusement une certaine compacité pour l'ensemble, le perçage du bloc de câblage se prolonge, suivant un autre développement de l'invention, au-delà de ce bloc de câblage, en mordant au moins pour partie sur l'épaisseur de la platine formant l'embase de fixation.To promote this emergence while advantageously retaining a some compactness for the assembly, the drilling of the wiring block is extended, according to another development of the invention, beyond this wiring block, in biting at least in part on the thickness of the plate forming the fixing base.
Les conditions étant égales par ailleurs, l'épaisseur hors tout du connecteur suivant l'invention peut avantageusement s'en trouver réduite d'autant.The conditions being equal, the thickness overall of the connector according to the invention can advantageously find itself reduced accordingly.
Enfin, suivant un autre développement éventuel de l'invention, la platine formant l'embase de fixation du connecteur suivant l'invention comporte, pour son assujettissement à l'élément conducteur auquel le câble électrique doit être raccordé, au moins une échancrure qui ouvre du côté opposé à la face d'entrée du bloc de câblage.Finally, according to another possible development of the invention, the plate forming the fixing base of the connector according to the invention comprises, for its securing to the conductive element to which the cable electrical must be connected, at least one notch which opens on the side opposite the entry side of the wiring block.
Il en résulte que l'installation du connecteur suivant l'invention sur l'élément conducteur auquel le câble électrique doit être raccordé peut avantageusement se faire sans un dévissage complet de la vis de la borne de connexion correspondante.It follows that the installation of the following connector the invention on the conductive element to which the electric cable must be connected can advantageously be done without a unscrewing the terminal screw completely corresponding.

laquelle débouche le perçage 22 qu'il comporte, s'étend
globalement en oblique par rapport à l'axe de ce perçage 22.According to the invention, the

une face d'appui 28, sensiblement plane, par laquelle elle est
adaptée à être appliquée à l'élément conducteur 10, suivant
l'une des faces principales de celui-ci, la face d'entrée 26
du bloc de câblage 21 fait globalement un dièdre aigu, d'angle
A, avec cette face d'appui 28.More specifically, the

Dans la forme de réalisation représentée, l'embase de
fixation 25 se réduit à une platine vis-à-vis de laquelle le
bloc de câblage 21 fait saillie, et, en pratique, cette platine
s'étend tout entière du côté du bloc de câblage 21 opposé à sa

ce bloc de câblage 21, et, se prolongeant au-delà de celui-ci,
il mord au moins pour partie sur l'épaisseur de la platine
formant l'embase de fixation 25, en formant, à la surface de
cette platine, une goulotte 29 à extrémité 30 borgne.In the embodiment shown, the
