Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to apparatus commonly referred to as "mobile” as far as not being an integral part of any electrical appliance, and not being intended to be permanently installed on such an electrical appliance or on a any other support, they can be moved.
  • It can therefore be either a plug or a socket outlet intervening in isolation at the end of an electric cable belonging to a cord extension, that of a power strip comprising in parallel a plurality of such plinths.
  • a mobile connection device of the kind in cause has at least one contact element, such as a socket or pin, which is waiting for the intervention of a mobile connection device complementary, and at least one connection terminal, which is connected electrically to the contact element, and which, for the service thereof, is suitable for connection of any electrical conductor.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to this terminal of connection, or, more generally, the connection means implemented works to ensure the necessary connection.
  • Removable products must be fitted with connection terminals to screws, so that their implementation, that is to say their connection to a cable electric, can be easily done using a common tool, in this case a simple screwdriver, especially when reused.
  • the present invention generally relates to a provision allowing on the contrary a certain standardization of these manufacturing and further leading to other advantages.
  • a switchgear mobile such as a base or plug, of the kind comprising at least one element of contact, such as socket or pin, and at least one connection terminal, which is electrically connected to the contact element, and which is suitable for connection of any electrical conductor
  • this mobile connection device being generally characterized in that the connection terminal has a tail by which it is force-fitted into an element tubular, and in that it is through this tubular element that this connection terminal is electrically connected to the contact element.
  • connection terminals provided according to the invention are actually implemented, and these are, in practice, screw connection.
  • this mobile connection device when this mobile connection device must constitute a non-removable product, these connection terminals are omitted, and the connection of the necessary electric cable conductors directly using the corresponding tubular elements, for example by crimping of these.
  • the constituents used can advantageously and economically be the same in both cases.
  • connection terminals provided according to the invention are actually implemented, it is advantageously possible, at assembly, to confer, without any particular operation, to one and / or the other of them, any orientation which would prove desirable.
  • FIGS. 1-10 illustrate, by way of example, the case where the apparatus for mobile connection 10 according to the invention is a plug intended to be releasably located at one end of any electric cable, and, for example, that of an electric cable belonging to a extension cord not shown.
  • this mechanism 11 is organized from a block of insulating material 12, and this forms, at its base, a plate 13 of which only the outer surface 14 is normally visible, the switchgear mobile connection 10 completed by a cover, not shown, which covers all.
  • the following mobile connection device 10 the invention comprises at least one contact element 15P, 15T, such as a cell or pin, and at least one connection terminal 16P, 16T, which, according to arrangements described in more detail later, is electrically connected to the corresponding contact element 15P, 15T, which is specific to the connection of any electrical conductor belonging to the cable to which the assembly must be attached.
  • the sheet that constitutes the mobile connection apparatus 10 according to the invention is, by way of example, a bipolar plug with earth connection.
  • the mobile connection apparatus 10 comprises, therefore, in this embodiment, three contact elements 15P, 15T, to know two 15P contact elements that form pole pins, and a contact element 15T which forms a grounding socket.
  • the contact elements 15P protrude parallel to each other on the outer surface 14 of the plate 13 of the block on insulating material 12, and the contact element 15T opens onto this outer surface 14.
  • the mobile connection apparatus 10 has three connection terminals 16P, 16T, one per connection element contact 15P, 15T.
  • the insulating material block 12 forms, projecting from the inner surface 18 of its plate 13, two housings 19P, which, both generally in the form of wells, extend parallel to each other the other, at a distance from each other, and which, we practice, are each respectively arranged directly above the 15P contact elements concerned.
  • Each of these housings 19P has, laterally, for reasons specified later, a hole 20.
  • the insulating material block 12 forms, also, on the inner surface 18 of its plate 13, there is a housing 19T.
  • this housing 19'T is shaped general well, like the previous 19F housing.
  • the housing 19T is open laterally on two sides opposites.
  • the material block insulating 12 also forms a protrusion on the inner surface 18 of its plate 13, a pillar 22, which, in practice, is backed by the housing 19T of the 16T connection terminal, and from the top of which extends, in overhang, a gutter 23 intended to form, with a similar gutter provided for this purpose on the associated cover, a clean end for the passage of the cable to which the assembly must be attached.
  • connection terminal 16P, 16T has a tail 24 by which it is force-fitted into a tubular element 25P, 25T, and it is by through this tubular element 25P, 25T that this terminal of connection 16P, 16T is electrically connected to the contact element 15P, 15T corresponding.
  • connection terminals 16P, 16T are all identical to each other.
  • this connection terminal 16P is a connection terminal screw connection, i.e. a connection terminal comprising a body 26 metallic, which is perforated, longitudinally, of a bore 27, and which, transversely to it, has a tapped hole 29 with which engages a screw 30.
  • the body 26 has, externally, in diametrically opposite positions, one with respect to the other, two flats 31, for its wedging in the housing 19P, 19T corresponding.
  • the tail 24 extends parallel to bore 27.
  • the tail 24 is not coaxial with the bore 27, because, to leave a maximum thickness of material on the side of the screw 30, this is off center in the body 26.
  • the tail 24 is tapered at its free end, to facilitate its engagement in the corresponding tubular element 25P, 25T.
  • the tail 24 is thus tapered by a chamfer 33 frustoconical.
  • the tail 24 is in one piece with the body 26, in coming from one and the same room with him.
  • the element tubular 25P, 25T is integral with the contact element 15P, 15T corresponding.
  • the element of contact 15P is a pin
  • the tubular element 25P extends back to back with him, being open at its end opposite to the own end of this contact element 15P.
  • this tubular element 25P has, in cross section, a closed contour.
  • this tubular element 25P forms, at its outlet, a flared collar 35, to further facilitate, the engagement of the tail 24 of the associated connection terminal 16P.
  • the element of contact 15T is a cell
  • the associated tubular element 25T belongs, with him, to the same metal blank 36 suitably cut and folded.
  • this metal blank 36 comprises, overall, in a general U-shape, on the one hand, a middle part 37, on the same edge from which come, at a distance one of the other, two sections 38, 39 participating, for the first, in the constitution of the contact element 15T, and constituting, for the second, the tubular element 25T, and, on the other hand, two lateral wings 40, which, by a configuration in harpoon, are suitable for anchoring the assembly in the block of insulating material 12 and / or in the cover associated therewith.
  • the tubular element 25T has, in cross section, a contour opened by a slot 41.
  • This tubular element 25T can thus advantageously benefit, radially, of a certain elasticity.
  • tubular element 25T thus formed results from the winding in cylinder on itself of a part of the corresponding pan 39 of the metal blank 36.
  • the tail 24 of the connection terminals 16P, 16T a externally, a diameter substantially equal to the internal diameter of the tubular elements 25T, 25P, while being slightly higher than the latter.
  • connection terminals 16P, 16T it is therefore necessary to exert a push on the connection terminals 16P, 16T to ensure the press fit of their tail 24 in the tubular elements 25P, 25T.
  • connection terminals 16P, 16T on tubular elements 25P, 25T is firm and safe, and so are even for the electrical contact occurring between these connection terminals 16P, 16T and these tubular elements 25P, 25T.
  • this tail 24 has a particular surface configuration.
  • this tail 24 can be knurled or striated.
  • the tubular element 25P of contact elements 15P has, in cross section, an outline opened by a slot, like the tubular element 25T associated with the element of 15T contact, especially when, instead of being massive, as shown, the pin constituting these contact elements 15P is hollow, resulting in example of cutting and rolling, like the tubular element 25T.
  • connection 16P, 16T are omitted, and connection to conductors matching electrical is done simply by crimping the elements tubular 25P, 25T on the previously stripped end of the core conductor of these electrical conductors.
  • connection terminals of connection implemented may be connection terminals of a other type, and, for example, connection terminals with direct engagement or insulation displacement connection terminals whenever possible and / or admissible.
  • the field of application of the invention is not limited either no longer in case the mobile connection equipment concerned is a plug, but extends equally well in case it is a socket outlet or a power strip.
