Definitions

  • a simple connecting system which would not only save the polarity of the cabling but would also have touch-protected plug contacts and accessible easy wiring is missing mainly for stand alone direct current installations with battery storage and e.g. photovoltaic or wind generator; provision should also be made for good tightness, as these connectors have to be used on photovoltaic modules, on ships or vehicles: these are the most wide-spread stand alone systems.
  • the present invention refers to a quick connecting system which features following peculiarities, which are usually quite difficult to integrate in one device:
  • this is achieved in that the contact set of the first contact side is anchored in a slidable shuttle (1) wich lies in a bore (16) of the first side connector body (17), this bore being closed on both ends by tight strain reliefs (21a,21b) and in that the contact set of the second side contact plug part (23) protrudes through the first side connector body (17) perpendicularly to the axis of the bore (16) and reaches the contact set of the first contact side anchored in said slidable shuttle (1) which is located in said bore (16) of that said first side connector body (17).
  • the slidable shuttle (1) By removing in the unplugged situation the tight strain reliefs (21a,21b) and the knurled knob screw (18), the slidable shuttle (1) will be free to move out of the first side connector body (17), yielding thus totally unimpeded access for wiring work on the terminals of the first side contact set.
  • the slidable shuttle bears a first contact set which is shown here as the female part embodied by resilient claws (2,3) which fit the rectangular openings (4,5) in the slidable shuttle (1).
  • resilient claws (2,3) are maintained either by a pin (6) or a screw (7) surrounded by a isolating sleeve (8) which engage with clearance in their respective claw holes (9,10).
  • the choice of this well-known multiple contact principle based on resilient claws (2,3) as shown in FIG. 1 is guided not only by the premium contact behaviour, but also by the easy multiplication of screw clamp terminals (12,13,14,15) on the back side of the claws which yield a variety of wiring possibilities.
  • FIG. 1 shows clearly the good accessibility for wiring work, specially if the solution of fixing the resilient claws (2,3) to the wires before inserting them in the shuttle (1) is chosen: even soldering can then be used, as no plastic part will be subject to overheat in this situation.
  • the resilient claws (2,3) can be inserted together with the wires in the shuttle (1) and then shifted altogether into the bore (16) of the first side connector body (17), where locking occurs by the introduction of the knurled knob screw (18) which engages in the hole (19) in the first side connector body (17) and the hole (20) in the shuttle (1).
  • the first side connector body (17) will provide for waterproof sealing contact against the second side plug part (23), as this flat sealing face is strongly pressed against the mating surface of the first side connector body (17) by the thrust of the knurled knob screw (18) engaged in the threaded insert (24).
  • the washer (22) improves the sealing under the knurled knob, but also indicates the wiring executed (series or parallel) according to which side is visible.
  • FIG. 2 we can appreciate in a cut the plug contact in said tightly sealed position, as the contact blade (11b') engages in the resilient claw (3') and the first side connector body (17') is clamped firmly to the second side plug part (23'); (the sealing effect in this junction can be enhanced by inserting a flat seal); in this cut we see also the screw (7') with its isolating sleeve (8') which maintains the resilient claw (3') in the shuttle (1').
  • the isolating protection (26b) shown in FIG. 1 appears in FIG. 2 as (26b'), together with the grooves (27',28') for the wire passage and the clamp screw (15').
  • the poles are identified by the relative positionning of the contacts, which are here embodied by the blades (11a,11b) with their respective isolating protections (26a,26b), where e.g. the negative pole blade (11b) is identified by its transversal position on the axis of the positive pole blade (11a).
  • the unequivocal relationship is lost: a way to avoid confusion in these circumstances would be to introduce a difference in the outer shape of the isolating protection (26a'',26b''), as shown in FIG.
  • the new outer shapes of the isolating protections (26a'',26b'') act as key profile if unipolar connectors are used with the correspondent negative shaped receptacles.
