Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switch comprising a generally prismatic outer shape housing provided with a front portion of a motion detection or object presence head, housing an electrical switching assembly provided with rear contacts. output, and comprising to a rear portion a removable cable connector for connecting a cable to the output contacts, wherein the switch housing determines a housing for the switch assembly and the connector and has two large faces for this purpose Lateral parts help to define the outer template of the case.
  • the aim of the invention is to easily integrate the connector into the housing of such a switch, by allowing various connectors to be associated with the housing, and to change, preferably without modifying the housing, the connector or the set of electrical switching.
  • the large lateral faces form at the rear part of the housing partitions which serve as nesting wings for the connector, which connector has a body which can be withdrawn into the housing between the wings, provided with less a wall that fits into the substantially prismatic template of the housing and locked in the housing by a locking device.
  • the connector does not protrude from the prismatic jig of the housing and remains protected.
  • a rear face of the body forms the rear face of the housing and a side face of the body constitutes a side face portion of the housing, which allows the cable to be pulled backwards or laterally.
  • the switching assembly and the body of the connector are preferably inserted one behind the other in the housing, in particular of rectangular section, of the switch housing, having substantially identical sections and adapted to that of the housing.
  • the assembly and disassembly of the connector are facilitated by the locking device, the latter being preferably provided at the rear of the connector body, and comprising an actuating element, for example a rotary member of the quarter-turn type, accessible by the rear face and at least one attachment element adapted to engage against a stop member provided in a wing of the housing.
  • the hooking element can then be constituted by two pins provided on opposite sides of the rotating actuating element to cooperate each with a slot provided in the wings facing each other between which is embedded the body of the connector.
  • a seal disposed against the inner wall of the housing adjacent to the electrical switch assembly is advantageously pressurized by the locking device of the connector body.
  • the switch shown is a position switch, that is to say a switch of the type having a lever or a pusher sensitive to the docking of an external object, and translating this detection by an electrical output signal.
  • the switch considered can also be alternatively a contactless proximity sensor.
  • the position switch illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a housing 10 of generally prismatic shape which has a front portion 10A, a middle portion 10B and a rear portion 10C. At the front portion 10A is fixed an operating head 21 provided with a lever 22 rotatable when an object comes into contact with it.
  • the housing 10 has a housing A of rectangular general section so as to house in the middle part 10B of the housing 10 a contact block - or an electronic block -24 (see Figure 3) and in the rear part 10C of the housing 10 a connector withdrawable 30.
  • the housing 10 of the switch has substantially flat faces, namely a front face 11, a rear face 12, two small side faces 13,14 and two large side faces 15,16 defining a template - or a envelope - prismatic.
  • the large lateral faces 15, 16 each form at their rear part an engagement flange 15a, 16a provided with a slot-shaped opening 15b, respectively 16b, parallel to the plane of the adjacent rear face 12.
  • the lateral face 13 presents also at its rear part an interlocking flange 13a, while the side face 14 does not have a corresponding flange.
  • the wings 15a, 16a, 13a define for the housing A an opening towards the rear and towards the side of the face 14.
  • the operating head 21 is removably attached to the housing 10 by means of a fork 23 insertable in the housing.
  • the contact block 24 is removably inserted into the housing 10 in the main direction X of the switch and has male outgoing contacts 25 towards the rear.
  • a rectangular seal 20 is disposed in the middle portion of the housing A between the contact block 24 and the connector 30 to seal the contact block.
  • the contact block is here electromechanical type; it can also include an electronic processing circuit.
  • the withdrawable connector 30 has a body 31 fitted and practically recessed in the housing A behind the contact block.
  • the connector 30 has large lateral faces 32, 33 which are engaged in the housing A while being parallel and adjacent.
  • the body 31 of the connector 30 has a rear face 36 which constitutes the major part, preferably all, of the rear face 12 of the switch housing.
  • the connector 30 has female contacts 37 intended to cooperate with some at least male contacts 25 of the block 24.
  • a cable 38 is connected to the body 31 to exit at 45 °, as shown in the figures, or in parallel to the length of the housing 10, depending on the type of connector desired.
  • a locking device 40 is provided at the rear of the connector, being associated with its rear face.
  • the device 40 is for example of the quarter-turn type and comprises a screw or similar actuating member 41 accessible by the rear face 36 and connected to a rotary cam 42 with two lateral lugs 43, 44 which form tenons which engage in the slots 15b, 16b.
  • the cam effect causes, when the lugs 43,44 engage in the slots, the application of the front edge of the body 31 against the seal 20, resulting in a satisfactory clamping of this seal.
  • the device 40 thus confirms the attachment of the connector after racking and ensures the sealing of the electrical part of the switch.
  • the contact block 24 and the body 31 of the connector 30 have width and length substantially equal to those of the cross section of the housing A of the housing 10; by its rear face 36 and its lateral face 34, the connector fits into the prismatic jig of the switch housing, while remaining firmly held by the wings 15a, 16a, 13a and locked by the locking device 40.
