Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for connecting conductors to electrical units, such as circuit breakers and the like.
  • connection devices that allow to connect conductors to the contacts of the unit.
  • the conductors are typically constituted by cable terminals, bars, rear couplings for bars, and sometimes by the ends of electrical cables stripped of their insulation.
  • Cable terminals are substantially constituted by a small perforated plate that can be coupled to the contact, which is likewise provided with a hole, by means of a screw that engages a nut. Bars also are provided with holes at their ends in order to be connected in a similar fashion.
  • Rear couplings for bars or cable terminals are provided with a female-thread end that is connected to the contact and fixed thereto by means of a screw.
  • a terminal typically constituted by a parallelepipedal body suitable to support a sliding plate associated with an abutment screw, so that the end of the cable can be pressed, by acting on the screw, between the contact of the unit and the sliding plate.
  • Connection devices which include a movable member that is inserted by interlocking in a recess and allows to modify the device according to the type of connection to be performed, with a bar, a cable terminal or, by means of the insertion of a terminal, the end of an electric cable.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a device that allows to connect various types of conductor to electrical units, such as circuit breakers and the like, more rapidly and easily than conventional devices.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a device that is constructively simple and cheap from the point of view of production, so as to not affect the overall cost of the unit.
  • Another object is to provide a device that is functional and capable of offering the greatest assurances in terms of safety.
  • connection device can be used for the electrical connection in electrical units such as, for example, an enclosed circuit breaker 101, which has a plurality of devices constituted by sliders 1, respectively on an upper side 2 and on a lower side 3, for connection to electrical connectors, which are typically constituted by cable terminals 4, bars, or rear couplings 5, but can also be constituted by ends of electrical cables appropriately stripped of their insulation.
  • electrical connectors which are typically constituted by cable terminals 4, bars, or rear couplings 5, but can also be constituted by ends of electrical cables appropriately stripped of their insulation.
  • Each slider device 1 includes an oscillating member 6 pivoted in a recess 7 that is associated with the body of the unit 101 and includes at least one first seat 8 and at least one second seat 9.
  • the oscillating member 6 stably engages the recess 7 by means of a tooth, not shown in the figures, which can be deactivated by inserting a tool, for example the tip of a screwdriver, in an appropriate tool receptacle 30.
  • the first seat 8 can accommodate a female-thread member, typically constituted by a nut 10, which engages a screw 11 in order to connect a cable terminal 4 or a bar to a contact 12 of the unit 101.
  • the second seat 9 accommodates a terminal 13, for example of a per se known type constituted by a parallelepipedal body 14 supporting a sliding plate 15 associated with an abutment screw 16.
  • the abutment screw 16 of the terminal is located at an upper notch 17 provided in the oscillating member 6.
  • the upper notch 17 is also designed to allow the insertion of the screw 11 for fixing the cable terminal 4.
  • the screw 11 can be inserted in the oscillating member 6 also by means of a notch 18 formed in an upper region with respect to the recess 7 of the slider.
  • the notch 18 of the hollow 7 and the upper notch 17 of the oscillating member allow to insert a screw 11 from the front while it is associated with a hex tool, thus sparing the operator from having to insert the screw 11 from above and then having to find the screw with the hex key.
  • the oscillating member 6 also has a Faston connector 20, which is conveniently formed monolithically with respect to a rear blade 19 which, when the oscillating member is closed, provides the electrical contact with a vertical plate 21 of the contact 12.
  • the movable member 6 can be opened downward, by breaking a wall, in order to allow the passage of a bar coupling 5 which has a female-thread end 22 suitable to receive the screw 11, in order to provide the connection to the contact 12, in a per se known manner.
  • connection device having been provided which is characterized by the presence of an oscillating slider which allows to connect various types of conductor to electrical units, such as circuit breakers and the like, more rapidly and easily than conventional devices.
  • a particular advantage from the functional standpoint is the fact that the oscillating slider remains always associated with the body of the unit, facilitating work for the user, who does not have to worry about supporting this component as well.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may of course be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
