La présente invention concerne un dispositif de connexion électrique de deux appareils électriques tels un appareil de protection électrique associé à un interrupteur commandé, ledit dispositif étant destiné à relier électriquement la ou les bornes de sortie de l'un, dit premier, des appareils à la ou les bornes d'entrée de l'autre, dit second, desdits appareils, ledit dispositif comportant des conducteurs logés dans un capot isolant, l'ensemble s'étendant le long de l'une des faces des deux appareils, lesdites bornes d'entrée et de sortie précitées comportant des ouvertures d'accès sur les dites faces.The present invention relates to a device for electrical connection of two devices electrical such as an electrical protection device associated with a controlled switch, said device being intended to electrically connect the output terminal or terminals of one, said first, devices at the input terminal (s) of the other, said second, of said devices, said device comprising conductors housed in an insulating cover, the assembly extending along one of the faces of the two devices, said input and abovementioned outlet comprising access openings on said faces.

Lors de l'association sur un même rail de montage d'un disjoncteur et d'un interrupteur commandé tel un contacteur ou un télérupteur, il est nécessaire de relier électriquement les bornes de sortie de puissance du disjoncteur aux bornes d'entrée de puissance de l'interrupteur commandé. Les interrupteurs commandés comportent classiquement des bornes d'entrée et des bornes de sortie situées respectivement sur deux faces latérales opposées de leur boítier. Il en résulte que le pontage électrique nécessaire pour réaliser le raccordement précité est long, peu pratique et coûteux.When combining a circuit breaker and a switch on the same mounting rail controlled like a contactor or a remote control switch, it is necessary to electrically connect the circuit breaker power output terminals to power input terminals of the controlled switch. Controlled switches conventionally include input terminals and output terminals respectively located on two side faces opposite of their case. As a result, the electrical bridging necessary to achieve the said connection is long, inconvenient and expensive.

La présente invention résout ce problème et propose un dispositif de connexion de conception simple permettant de relier de manière rapide et peu coûteuse de tels appareils ainsi qu'un appareil électrique adapté à un tel dispositif.The present invention solves this problem and proposes a device for connecting simple design for quick and inexpensive connection of such devices as well as an electrical appliance adapted to such a device.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de connexion du genre précédemment mentionné, ce dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que le capot isolant comporte un volet apte à obturer l'accès à la ou les bornes d'entrée du second appareil, lorsque le dispositif de connexion est mis en place tout en laissant libre l'accès à la ou les bornes de sortie dudit second appareil. To this end, the subject of the present invention is a connection device of the kind previously mentioned, this device being characterized in that the insulating cover includes a shutter capable of closing off access to the input terminal (s) of the second device, when the connection device is put in place while leaving free access to the output terminals of said second device.

Selon une réalisation particulière, en position de connexion, le volet est apte à obturer l'accès à l'organe d'actionnement de la ou des bornes d'entrée du second appareil et/ou aux parties de conducteurs situées au niveau de l'ouverture de la ou desdites borne d'entréeAccording to a particular embodiment, in the connection position, the flap is capable of closing off access to the actuator of the input terminal (s) of the second device and / or to the parts of conductors located at the opening of said input terminal (s)

L'invention a encore pour objet un appareil électrique logé dans un boítier comportant une face arrière de fixation à un support de montage tel un rail, une face avant, deux faces principales par lesquelles l'appareil peut être accolé à un autre appareil du même type, et deux faces latérales opposées, ledit appareil pouvant être raccordé à un autre appareil électrique situé en amont sur ledit support de montage au moyen d'un dispositif de connexion comportant les caractéristiques précédemment mentionnées prises seules ou en combinaison, cet appareil comportant au moins une borne d'entrée et au moins une borne de sortie situées d'un même côté dudit support et la ou les bornes d'entrée d'une part, et la ou les bornes de sortie, d'autre part, sont disposées respectivement suivant deux niveaux de profondeur différents du boítier de l'appareil et sont décalées respectivement suivant la hauteur de l'appareil.The invention also relates to an electrical device housed in a housing comprising a rear face for fixing to a mounting support such as a rail, one front face, two faces main means by which the device can be attached to another device of the same type, and two opposite side faces, said device being able to be connected to another device electric located upstream on said mounting support by means of a connection comprising the previously mentioned characteristics taken alone or in combination, this apparatus comprising at least one input terminal and at least one terminal output located on the same side of said support and the input terminal (s) on the one hand, and the or the output terminals, on the other hand, are arranged respectively according to two levels of different depths of the camera body and are offset respectively according to the device height.

L'invention a encore pour objet un appareil électrique logé dans un boítier comportant une face arrière de fixation à un support de montage tel un rail, une face avant, deux faces principales par lesquelles l'appareil peut être accolé à un autre appareil du même type, et deux faces latérales opposées, ledit appareil pouvant être raccordé à un autre appareil électrique situé en amont sur ledit support de montage au moyen d'un dispositif de connexion comportant les caractéristiques précédemment mentionnées prises seules ou en combinaison, cet appareil comportant au moins une borne d'entrée et au moins une borne de sortie, lesdites bornes étant situées d'un même côté du support, et au moins une borne de commande située de l'autre côté du support.The invention also relates to an electrical device housed in a housing comprising a rear face for fixing to a mounting support such as a rail, one front face, two faces main means by which the device can be attached to another device of the same type, and two opposite side faces, said device being able to be connected to another device electric located upstream on said mounting support by means of a connection comprising the previously mentioned characteristics taken alone or in combination, this apparatus comprising at least one input terminal and at least one terminal output, said terminals being located on the same side of the support, and at least one terminal on the other side of the support.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la ou les bornes d'entrée sont situées à l'arrière de l'appareil et au niveau de l'une des faces latérales de l'appareil et la (ou les) borne(s) de sortie sont situées à l'avant de l'appareil et en retrait par rapport à ladite face latérale de l'appareil . According to a particular characteristic, the input terminal (s) are located at the rear of the device and at one of the side faces of the device and the terminal (s) outlet are located at the front of the device and set back from said side face of the device.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les bornes d'entrée et les bornes de sortie comporte chacune, une ouverture d'accès pour les conducteurs, lesdites ouvertures étant située(s) respectivement pour les bornes d'entrée et les bornes de sortie sur deux parties de surfaces latérales décalées suivant la hauteur et la profondeur du boítier.According to another characteristic, the input terminals and the output terminals comprises each, an access opening for the conductors, said openings being located respectively for the input terminals and the output terminals on two parts of surfaces lateral offset according to the height and depth of the housing.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la ou les bornes d'entrée et la ou les bornes de sortie comprennent des organes d'actionnement situées respectivement pour les bornes d'entrée et les bornes de sortie, sur deux parties de face avant décalées suivant la profondeur et la hauteur du boítier.
Mais d'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaítront mieux. dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple et dans lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue de face, illustrant un disjoncteur et un interrupteur commandé selon l'invention, les appareils étant raccordés par un dispositif de connexion selon l'invention,
  • La figure 2 est une vue en perspective montrant plus particulièrement la partie inférieure des deux appareils raccordés par le dispositif de connexion selon l'invention,
  • La figure 3 est une vue partielle en perspective, illustrant la partie inférieure de l'interrupteur seul, et

    • According to another characteristic, the input terminal (s) and the output terminal (s) comprise actuating members situated respectively for the input terminals and the output terminals, on two parts of the front face offset according to the depth and the height of the case.
    But other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear better. in the detailed description which follows and refers to the appended drawings given solely by way of example and in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a front view, illustrating a circuit breaker and a controlled switch according to the invention, the devices being connected by a connection device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing more particularly the lower part of the two devices connected by the connection device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view, illustrating the lower part of the switch alone, and
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view illustrating the connection device according to the invention, alone.

    • Sur les figures 1 et 2, on voit un disjoncteur D et un télérupteur T montés côte à côte sur un même rail de montage R, l'ensemble formant un interrupteur commandé et protégé. Ces deux appareils sont logés dans des boítiers modulaires distincts comprenant chacun une face arrière 1,2 de fixation au rail R, une face avant 3,4, deux faces principales 5,6,7,8 par lesquelles les boítiers des deux appareils juxtaposés sont accolés, et deux faces latérales opposées 9,10,11,12 sur lesquelles sont situées des bornes de raccordement 13 à 22. Figures 1 and 2 show a circuit breaker D and a remote control switch T mounted side by side on a same mounting rail R, the assembly forming a controlled and protected switch. These two devices are housed in separate modular boxes each comprising a rear face 1.2 for attachment to the rail R, one front face 3.4, two main faces 5,6,7,8 per which the boxes of the two juxtaposed devices are attached, and two side faces opposite 9,10,11,12 on which connection terminals 13 to 22 are located.

    Le premier appareil D, en l'occurrence un disjoncteur, est du type classique et présente deux bornes d'entrée 13,14 logées dans sa partie supérieure, et deux bornes de sortie 15,16 logées dans sa partie inférieure.
    Le second appareil est constitué par un télérupteur T et comprend, comme ceci est connu en soi, un circuit de coupure destiné à desservir un circuit d'utilisation et commandé par un circuit de commande, ledit circuit de commande comportant une bobine destinée à être alimentée par les conducteurs de puissance du premier appareil D et commandée par un circuit donneur d'ordre comprenant par exemple un bouton poussoir (ces circuits n'étant pas représentés sur les figures).
    Cet appareil comporte dans sa partie supérieure deux bornes de commande 17,18, par lesquelles les bornes de la bobine précitées peuvent être reliées aux conducteurs de puissance du disjoncteur, et quatre bornes dites de puissance, à savoir deux bornes d'entrée 19,20 (respectivement de neutre et de phase) et deux bornes de sortie 21,22 (respectivement de neutre et de phase) à sa partie inférieure (plus particulièrement visibles sur la figure 3)
    Sur la figure 3, et conformément à l'invention, on voit que les bornes d'entrée 19,20 et les bornes de sortie 21,22 sont situées suivant deux niveaux de profondeur différents du boítier de l'appareil, la profondeur étant définie comme la distance séparant la face 4c se trouvant la plus en avant de l'appareil T de la face arrière 2 de l'appareil T. On voit également sur la figure 3, que les bornes sont également décalées suivant la hauteur de l'appareil, celle-ci étant définie par la distance séparant les deux faces latérales 11,12 de l'appareil T. On voit ainsi que l'une 12 des faces latérales 11,12 de cet appareil T comprend en fait plusieurs parties de face latérales 12a, 12b parallèles entre elles mais décalées suivant la hauteur et la profondeur de l'appareil. Sur l'une 12a de ces faces 12a,12b débouchent les ouvertures d'accés 23,24 des bornes d'entrée 19,20, et sur l'autre 12b de ces faces débouchent les ouvertures d'accès 25,26 des bornes de sortie 21,22. De même, la face avant du boítier comporte plusieurs parties de face avant parallèles 4a,4b,4c entre elles, décalées également suivant la profondeur et la hauteur du boítier. Sur l'une 4a de ces parties de face débouchent les organe d'actionnement 27,28 des bornes d'entrée 19,20 et sur l'autre 4b, les organes d'actionnement 29,30 des bornes de sortie 21,22. On remarquera également que les bornes d'entrée 19,20 sont également décalées par rapport aux bornes de sortie 21,22 parallèlement à la largeur du boítier, ladite largeur représentant la distance entre les deux faces principales 7,8 du boítier, ceci permettant à l'utilisateur de réaliser son câblage dans le sens de son schéma électrique sans être contraint par l'appareil de raccorder les bornes du bas (face 4a) avant celle du haut (face 4b).
    En revenant aux figures 1,2 et 4, on voit que les bornes de sortie 15,16 du premier appareil D sont reliées électriquement aux bornes d'entrée 19,20 du second appareil T au moyen d'un dispositif de connexion C conforme à l'invention. Ce dispositif C comporte un capot isolant 31 réalisé en un matériau plastique, ledit capot 31 comportant deux chemins de conduction 32,33 logeant respectivement deux conducteurs électriques rigides 34,35. Ce capot 31 est constitué par une plaque 36 dont les dimensions correspondent sensiblement aux dimensions de la face latérale 12 du second appareil T, cette plaque 36 comportant deux parties de chemins de conduction 32,33 aptes à recevoir la partie des conducteurs s'étendant en regard du second appareil T. A partir de cette plaque 36 s'étendent deux chemins de conduction séparés 37,38 logeant la partie des conducteurs située en regard du premier appareil D. Un volet 39 est monté articulé sur cette plaque 36 entre une position dans laquelle il s'étend parallèlement à cette plaque 36 et une position dans laquelle il s'étend perpendiculairement à cette plaque. Avantageusement, l'articulation du volet 39 est réalisée au moyen d'une charnière 40 en plastique intégrée. Sur ce volet 39 sont prévus des moyens d'encliquetage 41 en forme de crochet aptes à venir s'engager sur des parties correspondantes 42 (figure 3) du boítier. Les deux conducteurs 34,35 comprennent chacun une partie 34a,35a s'étendant le long de la plaque et deux plages de connexion 34b,35b,34c,35c s'étendant perpendiculairement au plan de ladite plaque 36.
    Lors de l'opération de connexion, les chemins séparés 37,38 et la plaque 36 sont amenés en regard respectivement des faces latérales 10 et 12 des appareils comportant les bornes de sortie 15,16, pour le premier appareil D, et les bornes d'entrée 19,20, pour le second appareil T. Les plages des conducteurs 34b,35b et 34c,35c sont alors introduites dans les bornes correspondantes 16,15 et 20,19 des appareils, l'un des conducteurs 34 reliant la borne de sortie de phase 16 du premier appareil D avec la borne d'entrée de phase 20 du second appareil T, l'autre des conducteurs 35 reliant la borne de sortie de neutre 15 du premier appareil D avec la borne d'entrée de neutre 19 du second appareil. On voit en particulier sur la figure 2, que la plaque 36 recouvre la totalité de la face latérale inférieure 12 du second appareil T de sorte que l'accès aux conducteurs et aux ouvertures de borne 23,24 par le dessous de l'appareil, est rendu impossible. Lors de la mise en place du dispositif, le volet 39 est rabattu sur l'une 4a des parties de face avant précitées, puis fixé au boítier de l'appareil au moyen des moyens d'encliquetage précités 41,42. Dans cette position, ce volet 39 d'une part vient compléter l'isolation au niveau des ouvertures 23,24 des bornes d'entrée 19,20, c'est à dire empêcher l'accès par l'avant de l'appareil, à la partie de raccordement située au niveau de ces ouvertures, et d'autre part, recouvre les organes d'actionnement 27,28, en l'occurrence les vis de borne, de sorte que la manipulation de celles-ci est impossible. Par contre, on voit en particulier sur la figure 2, que l'accès aux ouvertures 25,26 des bornes de sortie 21,22 ainsi qu'aux organes d'actionnement 29,30 de ces bornes est laissé libre.    The first device D, in this case a circuit breaker, is of the conventional type and has two input terminals 13,14 housed in its upper part, and two output terminals 15,16 housed in its lower part.
    The second device is constituted by a remote control switch T and comprises, as is known per se, a cut-off circuit intended to serve a use circuit and controlled by a control circuit, said control circuit comprising a coil intended to be supplied by the power conductors of the first device D and controlled by an ordering circuit comprising for example a push button (these circuits not being shown in the figures).
    This device comprises in its upper part two control terminals 17,18, by which the aforementioned coil terminals can be connected to the power conductors of the circuit breaker, and four so-called power terminals, namely two input terminals 19,20 (respectively neutral and phase) and two output terminals 21,22 (respectively neutral and phase) at its lower part (more particularly visible in Figure 3)
    In Figure 3, and according to the invention, we see that the input terminals 19,20 and the output terminals 21,22 are located at two different depth levels of the housing of the device, the depth being defined as the distance separating the face 4c located furthest from the device T from the rear face 2 of the device T. It can also be seen in FIG. 3, that the terminals are also offset according to the height of the device , this being defined by the distance separating the two lateral faces 11,12 of the apparatus T. It can thus be seen that one 12 of the lateral faces 11,12 of this apparatus T in fact comprises several lateral face portions 12a , 12b parallel to each other but offset according to the height and depth of the device. On one 12a of these faces 12a, 12b open the access openings 23,24 of the input terminals 19,20, and on the other 12b of these faces open the access openings 25,26 of the terminals exit 21.22. Similarly, the front face of the housing has several parallel front face parts 4a, 4b, 4c between them, also offset according to the depth and height of the housing. On one 4a of these front parts open the actuating members 27,28 of the input terminals 19,20 and on the other 4b, the actuating members 29,30 of the output terminals 21,22. Note also that the input terminals 19,20 are also offset from the output terminals 21,22 parallel to the width of the housing, said width representing the distance between the two main faces 7,8 of the housing, this allowing the user to carry out his wiring in the direction of his electric diagram without being constrained by the apparatus to connect the terminals of bottom (face 4a) before that of the top (face 4b).
    Returning to FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, it can be seen that the output terminals 15, 16 of the first device D are electrically connected to the input terminals 19, 20 of the second device T by means of a connection device C conforming to the invention. This device C comprises an insulating cover 31 made of a plastic material, said cover 31 comprising two conduction paths 32, 33 respectively housing two rigid electrical conductors 34, 35. This cover 31 is constituted by a plate 36 whose dimensions correspond substantially to the dimensions of the lateral face 12 of the second device T, this plate 36 comprising two parts of conduction paths 32,33 capable of receiving the part of the conductors extending in view of the second device T. From this plate 36 extend two separate conduction paths 37, 38 housing the portion of the conductors located opposite the first device D. A flap 39 is hinged on this plate 36 between a position in which it extends parallel to this plate 36 and a position in which it extends perpendicular to this plate. Advantageously, the articulation of the flap 39 is produced by means of an integrated plastic hinge 40. On this flap 39 are provided snap-fastening means 41 in the form of a hook capable of coming to engage on corresponding parts 42 (Figure 3) of the housing. The two conductors 34, 35 each comprise a part 34a, 35a extending along the plate and two connection pads 34b, 35b, 34c, 35c extending perpendicular to the plane of said plate 36.
    During the connection operation, the separate paths 37, 38 and the plate 36 are brought respectively opposite the side faces 10 and 12 of the devices comprising the output terminals 15, 16, for the first device D, and the terminals d input 19, 20, for the second device T. The areas of conductors 34b, 35b and 34c, 35c are then introduced into the corresponding terminals 16, 15 and 20, 19 of the devices, one of the conductors 34 connecting the terminal of phase output 16 of the first device D with the phase input terminal 20 of the second device T, the other of the conductors 35 connecting the neutral output terminal 15 of the first device D with the neutral input terminal 19 of the second device. It can be seen in particular in FIG. 2 that the plate 36 covers the whole of the lower lateral face 12 of the second device T so that access to the conductors and to the terminal openings 23,24 from below the device, is made impossible. When the device is put in place, the flap 39 is folded over one of the aforementioned front face parts 4a, then fixed to the housing of the device by means of the aforementioned snap-fastening means 41,42. In this position, this flap 39 on the one hand completes the insulation at the level of the openings 23, 24 of the input terminals 19, 20, ie preventing access from the front of the device, to the connection part situated at the level of these openings, and on the other hand, covers the actuating members 27, 28, in this case the terminal screws, so that their manipulation is impossible. On the other hand, it can be seen in particular in FIG. 2 that access to the openings 25, 26 of the output terminals 21, 22 as well as to the actuating members 29, 30 of these terminals is left free.

    On a donc réalisé grâce à l'invention un dispositif de connexion permettant de réaliser une connexion rapide et peu onéreuse de deux appareils, grâce au fait notamment que les connexions sont courtes, la partie pontage étant entièrement protégée alors que la sortie du second appareil est libre pour le raccordement ultérieur par le client, ainsi qu'un appareil permettant l'utilisation d'un tel dispositif.
    On notera que ce dispositif pourra être monté à la demande sur un interrupteur commandé ou s'il est monté systématiquement sur cet interrupteur, il pourra être démonté pour une utilisation plus universelle.
    L'invention s'applique avantageusement mais pas exclusivement lors de l'association d'un appareil électrique tel un disjoncteur avec un interrupteur commandé tel un télérupteur ou un contacteur oubien avec un différentiel etc...    Thanks to the invention, a connection device has therefore been produced which makes it possible to make a quick and inexpensive connection of two devices, thanks in particular to the fact that the connections are short, the bridging part being fully protected while the output of the second device is free for subsequent connection by the customer, as well as a device allowing the use of such a device.
    Note that this device can be mounted on demand on a controlled switch or if it is systematically mounted on this switch, it can be dismantled for more universal use.
    The invention applies advantageously but not exclusively during the association of an electrical device such as a circuit breaker with a controlled switch such as a remote control switch or a contactor or with a differential etc ...

    On notera que, bien que l'on ait décrit dans les figures l'association d'un disjoncteur avec un télérupteur bipolaire, l'invention s'applique tout aussi bien dans le cas où le télérupteur est du type unipolaire, c'est à dire comportant une borne d'entrée et une borne de sortie, dans lequel cas le capot isolant ne comportera qu'un seul chemin électrique.
    Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemples.
    C'est ainsi par exemple, que les bornes pourraient être d'un autre type que du type à vis.    It will be noted that, although the association of a circuit breaker with a bipolar remote control switch has been described in the figures, the invention applies equally well in the case where the remote control switch is of the unipolar type, it is to say having an input terminal and an output terminal, in which case the insulating cover will have only one electrical path.
    Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given only by way of examples.
    Thus, for example, the terminals could be of another type than the screw type.

    Au contraire, l'invention comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit.On the contrary, the invention includes all the technical equivalents of the means described as well as their combinations if these are carried out according to his spirit.
