Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de connexion électrique.The present invention relates to an electrical connection device.

L'utilisation de systèmes de chauffage de locaux par panneaux radiants alimentés électriquement se développe ces dernières années.The use of space heating systems powered by radiant panels electrically develops in recent years.

En particulier, le chauffage par panneaux composant des plafonds ou faux plafonds de locaux industriels, bureaux, pièces d'habitation est de plus en plus demandé et installé.In particular, panel heating making up ceilings or false ceilings industrial premises, offices, living quarters is increasingly in demand and installed.

Différents types de panneaux chauffants intégrant des conducteurs et résistances électriques ont été récemment mis au point et fait l'objet d'un ensemble de brevets, notamment le brevet japonais 09033057 (NORTHERN KK), le brevet U.S. 2892174 (G.E. BENANDER) et le brevet britannique 624418 (A. RAKOS)Different types of heating panels incorporating conductors and resistors electrics were recently developed and the subject of a set of patents, including Japanese patent 09033057 (NORTHERN KK), U.S. patent 2,892,174 (G.E. BENANDER) and British patent 624418 (A. RAKOS)

Ces différentes publications décrivent des systèmes de panneaux pour lesquels l'alimentation électrique est réalisée par des systèmes de connexion traditionnels, ce qui induit un coût important à l'installation.These various publications describe panel systems for which the power supply is carried out by traditional connection systems, this which induces a significant cost for installation.

L'invention a pour objet de réaliser un dispositif de raccordement permettant une connexion amovible de panneaux chauffants entre eux lors de leur installation. Le raccordement électrique est réalisé automatiquement à l'installation sans nécessité d'intervenir sur les câbles d'alimentation électrique et dispense des opérations délicates de sectionnement, dénudage, mise en connexion des conducteurs électriques.The object of the invention is to provide a connection device allowing a removable connection of heating panels to each other during installation. The electrical connection is made automatically at installation without need to intervene on the power supply cables and dispenses with delicate operations sectioning, stripping, connection of electrical conductors.

L'invention consiste en un dispositif de raccordement électrique comportant un boítier réalisé en plastique moulé comprenant trois parties :

  • Une partie inférieure qui est prévue pour enserrer un câble d'alimentation électrique la traversant.
  • Une partie supérieure portant quatre entrées électriques type prises femelles.
  • Une partie inférieure s'assujettissant à la partie supérieure portant les connexions électriques du boítier.
The invention consists of an electrical connection device comprising a housing made of molded plastic comprising three parts:
  • A lower part which is intended to enclose an electric power cable passing through it.
  • An upper part carrying four electrical inputs such as female sockets.
  • A lower part subjecting to the upper part carrying the electrical connections of the housing.

Le verrouillage des parties inférieure et supérieure est réalisé par trois languettes intégrées à la partie inférieure se verrouillant dans trois ouvertures prévues dans la partie supérieure. Côté opposé les parties inférieures et supérieures sont liées entre elles au montage par une continuité dans la matière plastique formant charnière. The locking of the lower and upper parts is achieved by three tabs integrated into the lower part, locking in three openings provided in the the top part. Opposite side the lower and upper parts are linked between they to the assembly by a continuity in the plastic forming hinge.

La partie conductrice du boítier montée dans la partie intérieure de celui-ci est le fait de deux pièces baptisées "clincan" qui assurent chacune la mise en place de la moitié des contacts nécessaires au bon fonctionnement de l'ensemble.
Pour chaque boítier, on utilise deux "clincan" différents, chaque clincan assure les connections entre l'un des deux contacts électriques des quatre prises femelles et un des deux conducteurs inserés dans la partie inférieure. Les connections des prises femelles sont de type classique.The conductive part of the housing mounted in the inner part thereof is made of two parts called "clincan" which each ensure the establishment of half of the contacts necessary for the proper functioning of the assembly.
For each case, two different "clincans" are used, each clincan provides connections between one of the two electrical contacts of the four female sockets and one of the two conductors inserted in the lower part. The connections of the female sockets are of conventional type.

La connection du conducteur est le fait d'un contact perforant. Les contacts perforants sont positionnés de manière à établir des contacts avec le câble d'alimentation lors de la fermeture du boítier sans nécessiter le moindre réglage pour l'installateur.The conductor connection is made by a perforating contact. The perforating contacts are positioned so as to establish contacts with the power cable when closing the case without requiring any adjustment for the installer.

Les contacts perforants sont dimensionnés de manière à garantir un contact électrique dans les conditions prévues d'utilisation respectant les normes en vigueur.The perforating contacts are dimensioned so as to guarantee electrical contact under the conditions provided of use respecting the standards in force.

Le boítier est muni d'une gorge sur sa partie extérieure permettant l'accrochage rapide de celui-ci aux supports normalisés pour faux plafonds.The housing has a groove on its outer part allowing it to be quickly attached to standardized supports for false ceilings.

Afin de mieux comprendre l'invention on a représenté un exemple de réalisation non limitatif, au dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue générale du boítier en position d'utilisation
  • la figure 2 est une vue du boítier ouvert sans câble d'alimentation
  • la figure 3 est une vue supérieure des "clincan" permettant les branchements électriques
  • la figure 4 est une vue latérale des "clincan" avec leurs picots respectifs
  • la figure 5 est une vue de la gorge permettant l'accroche du boítier aux supports de faux plafonds.
In order to better understand the invention, a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment is shown in the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a general view of the housing in the position of use
  • Figure 2 is a view of the open housing without power cable
  • Figure 3 is a top view of "clincans" for electrical connections
  • Figure 4 is a side view of the "clincans" with their respective pins
  • Figure 5 is a view of the groove for the attachment of the housing to the false ceiling supports.

Comme le montre le dessin de la figure 1, le boítier de connexion électrique 1 est constitué d'une partie inférieure 2 enserrant un câble conducteur 3, d'une partie supérieure 4 portant sur les deux côtés opposés une paire de prises femelles 5.
La partie inférieure 2 est traversée par une gorge 6 (figure 2) permettant d'enserrer le câble conducteur 3 comportant deux fils ou brins disposés côte à côte dans leur gaine isolante et soudés entre eux.As shown in the drawing in FIG. 1, the electrical connection box 1 consists of a lower part 2 enclosing a conductive cable 3, an upper part 4 carrying on the two opposite sides a pair of female sockets 5.
The lower part 2 is crossed by a groove 6 (FIG. 2) making it possible to enclose the conductive cable 3 comprising two wires or strands arranged side by side in their insulating sheath and welded together.

La partie inférieure 2 porte trois ergots 7 qui permettent par pression de solidariser la partie supérieure 4 à la partie inférieure 2 en fermant le boítier par rotation autour de la liaison charnière entre les parties 2 et 4.The lower part 2 carries three pins 7 which allow by pressure to secure the upper part 4 to the lower part 2 by closing the housing by rotation around the hinge connection between parts 2 and 4.

La partie supérieure est présentée figure 2 de manière à décrire la conception intérieure de celle-ci.The upper part is presented in Figure 2 so as to describe the interior design of it.

Des réserves 8 creuses sont obtenues lors du moulage de la pièce 4 correspondant aux ergots 7 et permettant l'accrochage des pièces 2 et 4 entre elles.8 hollow reserves are obtained during the molding of the piece 4 corresponding to the lugs 7 and allowing the attachment of parts 2 and 4 between them.

Une pièce intérieure 9 réalisée elle-aussi par moulage de plastique est prévue pour s'assujettir par coinçage à l'intérieur de la pièce supérieure 4. Cette pièce est réalisée en plastique moulé autour des pièces 10 et 11 baptisées "clincan" décrites en figures 3 et 4.An inner part 9 also produced by molding plastic is intended to be secured by wedging inside the upper part 4. This part is made of plastic molded around parts 10 and 11 called "clincan" described in Figures 3 and 4.

Ces pièces assurent les connexions électriques du boítier. Les "clincan" permettent d'assurer les quatre contacts biphasés réalisant les quatre prises femelles 5 en évidence à l'extérieur de la partie 4 du boítier par les ouvertures prévues à cet effet ainsi que la liaison électrique avec le conducteur 3 par la présence de deux picots 12, 13..These parts provide the electrical connections to the housing. The "clincan" ensure the four two-phase contacts making the four female sockets 5 visible outside part 4 of the housing by the openings provided for this purpose and the connection electric with the conductor 3 by the presence of two pins 12, 13 ..

Le montage électrique sera mieux compris au vu des schémas aux figures 3 et 4 qui décrivent des "clincan" 10 et 11 et leurs picots picots 12 et 13.The electrical installation will be better understood from the diagrams in Figures 3 and 4 which describe "clincans" 10 and 11 and their pins pins 12 and 13.

Les picots 12 et 13 émergent du moulage plastique de la partie 9 comme présenté à la figure 2.The pins 12 and 13 emerge from the plastic molding of the part 9 as shown in Figure 2.

Les picots s'enserrent par pression dans le conducteur 3 lors de la fermeture du boítier et la connexion reste assurée du fait de la forte solidarisation obtenue entre les parties inférieure et supérieure du boítier par le blocage à la fermeture des ergots 7.The pins are clamped by pressure in the conductor 3 during the closure of the case and the connection remains ensured due to the strong connection between the lower and upper parts of the housing by blocking the closure of the lugs 7.

La position du boítier 1 par rapport à la tige 16 est représentée à la figure 1.The position of the housing 1 relative to the rod 16 is shown in Figure 1.

La figure 5 représente enfin la gorge 14 obtenue lors du moulage de la partie 2 et qui permet de fixer le boítier 1 à l'une des tiges support du faux plafond chauffant. FIG. 5 finally represents the groove 14 obtained during molding of part 2 and which allows to attach the housing 1 to one of the rods support of the heated ceiling.

La gorge 14 peut présenter en son intérieur différentes aspérités 15 permettant d'adapter le coinçage à différents diamètres de tige support.
L'utilisation du boítier est donc envisagée comme suit :
Le faux plafond chauffant étant installé, l'utilisateur positionne la partie inférieure du boítier à l'intersection de la tige support panneau et du câble conducteur tendu.
Le câble conducteur est positionné dans la gorge prévue à cet effet. L'utilisateur n'a plus qu'à, par pression, fermer le boítier en forçant la partie supérieure vers la partie inférieure.The groove 14 may have inside asperities 15 for adapting the wedging to different diameters of support rod.
The use of the housing is therefore envisaged as follows:
The false heating ceiling being installed, the user positions the lower part of the box at the intersection of the panel support rod and the tensioned conductive cable.
The conductive cable is positioned in the groove provided for this purpose. The user only has to, by pressing, close the box by forcing the upper part towards the lower part.

Les contacts électriques s'établissant automatiquement le boítier est prêt à être utilisé en permettant le raccordement des panneaux chauffants montés avec prises mâles au boítier pour alimentation de ceux-ci.The electrical contacts are automatically established on housing is ready to use by allowing the connection of heating panels mounted with male sockets in the housing for feeding them.
