Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a terminal board for an electric motor.
  • an electric motor is normally connected to a power line by means of a terminal board, which comprises a number of contacts, including a ground contact, and is housed in a seat in the motor casing.
  • the contacts are normally defined by threaded metal pins carried by a supporting body of insulating material; and the electric connecting cables must have eyelet terminals, which are fitted to respective threaded pins and tightened with nuts.
  • a number of screws on the bottom of the terminal board fix the supporting body to the electric motor casing, and hold the terminal board inside the seat.
  • Terminal boards of the above type have several drawbacks. Firstly, grounding the motor is complicated by involving a specific assembly step to connect an electric cable, by means of a screw, directly to a projection on the motor casing.
  • terminal boards with blade (faston-type) contacts have been proposed, as described in the Applicant's Italian Patent Application MI2001A000090 of 18 January 2001, in which a terminal board, comprising a supporting body, a number of supply contacts, and a ground contact, is housed inside a hollow seat on an electric motor and supported on an assembly base. More specifically, the ground contact, which is provided with a hole, is inserted in a through seat formed in a bottom wall of the supporting body, and is fixed directly to the assembly base by means of a screw inserted through the hole. The ground contact also comprises a contrasting tab, which, in use, rests against a portion of the bottom wall to grip the supporting body of the terminal board between the ground contact and the assembly base of the motor.
  • the motor is therefore grounded and the terminal board fastened to the motor easily and effectively, and terminal boards with blade (faston) contacts can be used, so that wiring the motor is also greatly simplified.
  • a terminal board for an electric motor comprising a supporting body; a number of electric supply contacts; and an electric ground contact; characterized in that each of said electric supply contacts comprises a blade having a supporting portion, at least a first longitudinal extension, and a pair of opposite lateral extensions; said first longitudinal extension and said lateral extensions being bent substantially at right-angles on the same side of said supporting portion to form respective utility terminals.
  • Electric supply contacts of this type have the advantage of being easy to produce and extremely compact, so much so that they can be arranged side by side both longitudinally and transversely with respect to the supporting body. Moreover, each supply contact has a number of utility terminals for making any motor wiring connections easily and quickly, so that the terminal board as a whole is extremely compact.
  • each of said electric supply contacts can be fitted to said supporting body selectively in a first position, in which said first longitudinal extension is oriented on the opposite side to a bottom wall of said supporting body, and in a second position rotated substantially 180° with respect to said first position.
  • the electric supply contacts can therefore be connected easily to cables of an external supply line. More specifically, the supply contacts to be connected directly to the supply line are fixed to the supporting body so that the first longitudinal extension, in which a through hole is preferably formed, faces upwards and is therefore easily accessible. The other supply contacts, on the other hand, are rotated 180° so that all the utility terminals can be connected easily. Supply contacts of only one type, however, need be produced, thus reducing cost.
  • said ground contact comprises a root portion which slides inside a seat on said supporting body; and a connecting portion, which rests on contrasting ribs extending from said bottom wall of said supporting body; said root portion being fixed inside said seat by fastening means.
  • the ground contact can therefore be fitted easily to the supporting body before fitting the terminal board to the electric motor casing, thus greatly simplifying the assembly procedure.
  • an electric motor 1 comprises a casing 2, a control box 2a, and a terminal board 3 (shown here schematically in the assembly position), is connected to a known user device (not shown), and may be used, for example, to form a motor-driven pump.
  • Casing 2 comprises a cylindrical cavity 4 housing moving members (not shown) of electric motor 1; a hollow seat 5 is formed in casing 2, over a portion of cylindrical cavity 4, to receive terminal board 3 in use; and control box 2a is made of insulating material, and has an opening by which to insert terminal board 3 inside hollow seat 5.
  • a screw 11 e.g. a three-lobed or metric-pitch screw
  • Supporting body 12 which is made of insulating material, comprises a number of seats 15, each for receiving a respective supply contact 14; and a cavity 17 housing ground contact 13. Seats 15 are arranged side by side in pairs, and have respective access openings 19 facing opposite sides of supporting body 12.
  • each supply contact 14 is defined by a blade having a supporting portion 14a, a first and a second longitudinal extension 14b, 14c opposite each other, and a pair of opposite lateral extensions 14d.
  • Longitudinal extensions 14b, 14c and lateral extensions 14d are bent substantially at right-angles on the same side of supporting portion 14a to form respective utility terminals.
  • longitudinal extensions 14b, 14c are parallel; and lateral extensions 14d are parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular with respect to longitudinal extensions 14b, 14c.
  • First longitudinal extension 14b of each supply contact 14 has a first through hole 20 for receiving a respective wire-clamping screw 21.
  • Supply contacts 14 are fitted, e.g. clicked by means of fastening teeth 22, to partitions 24 of supporting body 12 separating facing seats 15. More specifically, each supply contact 14 can be fitted selectively to a respective partition 24 of supporting body 12 in a first position, in which first longitudinal extension 14b with respective first through hole 20 is oriented on the opposite side to a bottom wall 25 of supporting body 12, and in a second position rotated substantially 180° with respect to the first position. Supply contacts 14 are also located at a distance from bottom wall 25 to permit connection of all the utility terminals defined by longitudinal extensions 14b, 14c and lateral extensions 14d.
  • ground contact 13 is housed inside cavity 17 of supporting body 12. More specifically, bottom wall 25 has a through seat 27 at cavity 17; ground contact 13 comprises a root portion 13a ( Figures 6 and 7) housed inside through seat 27, flush with bottom wall 25, and extends laterally over and in contact with a contrasting portion of bottom wall 25 ( Figure 3); and root portion 13a has a fastening hole 28 through which screw 11 is inserted inside dead hole 10 in assembly base 7 to grip supporting body 12 against electric motor 1 by means of ground contact 13.
  • Ground contact 13 comprises, at a first end, a connecting wing 13b having a second through hole 29 for receiving a respective wire-clamping screw 21; and a number of connecting terminals 13c extending parallel with each other from a second end, opposite the first end, of the ground contact.
  • a terminal board 35 for forming a three-phase connection comprises a supporting body 36, a ground contact 37, and a number of supply contacts 14 of the type described with reference to Figures 2, 4 and 5 (in this embodiment, the second longitudinal extension 14c may be dispensed with).
  • Supporting body 36 comprises a number of seats 38 defined by walls 39; and a longitudinal cavity 40.
  • Seats 38, each for housing a respective supply contact 14, are arranged facing in pairs, have respective access openings 41 facing opposite sides of supporting body 36, and are spaced apart so that the supply contacts 14 in adjacent seats 38 are substantially equidistant and therefore connectable by identical jumpers 43.
  • Slits 45 are formed in respective mid-portions of walls 39 to fit jumpers 43 in the respective work positions.
  • Ground contact 37 is housed inside longitudinal cavity 40, and comprises a root portion 37a (Figures 10 and 11) housed inside a through seat 46, formed in a bottom wall 47 of supporting body 36, and flush with bottom wall 47.
  • a contrasting tab 37b of ground contact 37 extends laterally over and in contact with a contrasting portion of bottom wall 47 ( Figure 9); and root portion 37a has a fastening hole 50 through which screw 11 is inserted inside dead hole 10 in assembly base 7 (not shown in figure 9) to grip supporting body 36 against electric motor 1 by means of ground contact 37.
  • Ground contact 37 comprises, at a first end, a connecting wing 37c having a second threaded hole 51 for receiving a respective wire-clamping screw 21; and at least a pair of connecting terminals 37d extending laterally on opposite sides of connecting wing 37c.
  • Ground contact 37 is seated so that connecting wing 37c and connecting terminals 37d project laterally from supporting body 36.
  • Figures 12-15 show a third embodiment of the invention, wherein a terminal board 55, in this case for forming a single-phase connection, comprises a supporting body 56, a ground contact 57, and a number of supply contacts 14 substantially as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5, but also having lateral ribs 14e and teeth 14f projecting laterally on opposite sides.
  • Supporting body 56 comprises a number of seats 58, each for receiving a respective supply contact 14; and a cavity 60 housing ground contact 57. More specifically, supply contacts 14 are slid inside respective seats 58 so that lateral ribs 14e and teeth 14f engage coupling guides 59.
  • a dead seat 61 for receiving, in use, a root portion 57a of ground contact 57, is defined by a recess in a bottom face of a bottom wall 62 of supporting body 56, beneath cavity 60; a slit 66, formed in bottom wall 62, connects dead seat 61 to cavity 60, and permits insertion of ground contact 57 as explained below; and contrasting ribs 64, connected by a connecting portion 65, project from a top face of bottom wall 62 of supporting body 56, and extend crosswise with respect to cavity 60.
  • Ground contact 57 comprises, at one end, a connecting wing 57b having a threaded hole 68 for receiving a respective wire-clamping screw 21; and at least two parallel, coplanar connecting terminals 57c extending from a supporting portion 57d, both on the opposite side to connecting wing 57b.
  • Supporting portion 57d is in turn connected to root portion 57a of ground contact 57 by a supporting wing 57e bent substantially at a right-angle with respect to root portion 57a.
  • Root portion 57a has a fastening hole 67 through which screw 11 is inserted inside dead hole 10 in assembly base 7 (not shown in figure 13) to grip supporting body 56 against electric motor 1 by means of ground contact 57.
  • Ground contact 57 is slid on to supporting body 56, so that, in use, root portion 57a is housed inside dead seat 61, flush with bottom wall 62, supporting wing 57e is inserted inside slit 66, and supporting portion 57d rests on contrasting ribs 64 and connecting portion 65 to make the connection more stable. Root portion 57a is then fastened inside dead seat 61 by inserting screw 11.
  • a terminal board 70 in this case for forming a three-phase connection, comprises a supporting body 71, a ground contact 72, and a number of supply contacts 14 substantially as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5, but also having teeth 14f projecting laterally on opposite sides (in this embodiment, second longitudinal extension 14c may be dispensed with).
  • Supporting body 71 comprises a number of seats 73, each for receiving a respective supply contact 14; and a longitudinal cavity 75 housing ground contact 72.
  • Seats 73 are arranged in pairs facing opposite sides, and are spaced apart so that supply contacts 14 in adjacent seats 73 can be connected by identical jumpers 43.
  • a dead seat 76 for receiving, in use, a root portion 72a of ground contact 72, is defined by a recess formed in a bottom face of a bottom wall 77 of supporting body 71, beneath longitudinal cavity 75; a slit 78, formed in bottom wall 77, connects dead seat 76 to cavity 75, and permits insertion of ground contact 72 as explained below; and contrasting ribs 80 project from bottom wall 77 inside and crosswise with respect to longitudinal cavity 75, and substantially flush with slit 78.
  • Ground contact 72 comprises, at one end, a connecting wing 72b having a through hole 81 for receiving a respective wire-clamping screw 21; and at least two connecting terminals 72c projecting laterally from connecting wing 72b on opposite sides.
  • Contrasting wings 72d extend from one edge of root portion 72a, and are bent so as to form, together with root portion 72a, a substantially C shape ( Figure 19).
  • Root portion 72a has a fastening hole 82 through which screw 11 is inserted inside dead hole 10 in assembly base 7 (not shown in figure 17) to grip supporting body 75 against electric motor 1 by means of ground contact 72.
  • root portion 72a When ground contact 72 is slid on to supporting body 71, root portion 72a is housed inside dead seat 76, flush with bottom wall 77, and contrasting wings 72d are fitted about and rest on contrasting ribs 80 to make the connection more stable.
