Description

La présente invention concerne une structure électrique comportant au moins un dispositif de fixation d'au moins un câble, ainsi qu'une installation de fermeture ou de protection solaire pourvue d'au moins une telle structure électrique.The present invention relates to a structure electric comprising at least one fixing device at least one cable, as well as a closing installation or sun protection provided with at least one electrical structure.

Par installations de fermeture, on entend les portes, portails, volets, grilles et matériels équivalents.By closing systems is meant the doors, gates, shutters, grilles and equivalent equipment.

Les structures électriques visées par l'invention sont, à titre non limitatif, des coffrets électriques, ou encore des goulottes dans lesquelles sont reçus des câbles, encore dénommées chemins de câbles.The electrical structures targeted by the invention are, without limitation, electrical boxes, or still chutes in which cables are received, also called cable trays.

Il est connu de fixer, sur les structures précitées, différents câbles électriques. Ces derniers y sont solidarisés, soit de façon individuelle, soit en étant mutuellement réunis, de manière à former un ensemble de câbles, encore dénommé toron.It is known to fix, on the aforementioned structures, different electrical cables. These are there united, either individually or by being mutually united, so as to form a set of cables, also called strand.

En vue d'une telle fixation, il est connu de réaliser un pontet, formant étrier, qui peut être rapporté sur un berceau ménagé dans la structure électrique. Cet étrier et ce berceau définissent alors ensemble une section fermée, assurant le pincement du câble ou de l'ensemble de câbles.For such fixing, it is known to make a trigger guard, forming a stirrup, which can be attached to a cradle formed in the electrical structure. This stirrup and this cradle then together define a closed section, pinching the cable or cable assembly.

L'étrier est monté sur le berceau, soit par vissage, soit par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'encliquetage, aptes à s'engager à force dans des moyens correspondants, dont est muni le berceau.The stirrup is mounted on the cradle, either by screwing, either by means of latching means, suitable for force to engage in corresponding means, of which is fitted the cradle.

Cette solution connue implique cependant certains inconvénients.This known solution, however, involves certain disadvantages.

Ainsi, étant donné que le berceau et l'étrier sont formés, de façon à définir une section ou une plage de sections de passage prédéterminée, ceci rend ces organes spécifiques à une utilisation particulière. En d'autres termes, il est nécessaire de disposer d'un nombre important de berceaux et d'étriers, présentant des dimensions différentes.So, since the cradle and the stirrup are formed, so as to define a section or range of predetermined passage sections, this makes these organs specific to a particular use. In others terms it is necessary to have a significant number of cradles and stirrups, having dimensions different.

Par ailleurs, il convient de souligner que l'étrier est adapté au berceau avec lequel il coopère. De la sorte, en cas de perte de l'étrier, le dispositif de fixation n'est plus opérationnel, sauf à pouvoir approvisionner cet étrier de façon séparée, ce qui est en général difficile.Furthermore, it should be noted that the stirrup is adapted to the cradle with which it cooperates. In this way, in the event of loss of the stirrup, the fixing device is no longer operational, except to be able to supply this caliper separately, which is generally difficult.

Dans le cas où l'étrier est fixé par vissage, son montage nécessite l'utilisation d'un tournevis de taille adaptée, dont l'utilisateur ne dispose pas nécessairement.In the case where the bracket is fixed by screwing, its mounting requires the use of a size screwdriver adapted, which the user does not necessarily have.

De plus, dans le cas d'une fixation de l'étrier par encliquetage, ce dernier présente une géométrie complexe. En effet, sa forme doit permettre non seulement la solidarisation, mais également la désolidarisation par encliquetage, sans que l'étrier ne soit détruit lors de cette dernière opération, étant donné qu'il n'est en général pas disponible isolément.In addition, in the case of fixing the stirrup by snap-fastening, the latter has a complex geometry. Indeed, its shape must allow not only the solidarity, but also separation by snap-in, without the stirrup being destroyed during this last operation, since it is not general not available in isolation.

A cet égard, il est à remarquer que le démontage de l'étrier est nécessaire, afin de l'adapter aux modifications de câblage, qui sont à même de survenir lors de l'utilisation de la structure électrique. Enfin, la plage de sections de passage du dispositif de fixation, faisant appel à un encliquetage de l'étrier, est particulièrement réduite.In this regard, it should be noted that the dismantling of the bracket is necessary in order to adapt it to wiring modifications, which may occur during the use of the electrical structure. Finally, the range of passage sections of the fixing device, using a clip on the caliper, is particularly reduced.

On connaít, de DE-U-87 11910, un dispositif permettant de fixer un câble sur une structure électrique. A cet effet, le corps de cette structure est pourvu de différents organes de réception d'un câble, associés à des colliers de serrage permettant de solidariser chaque câble sur un organe de réception correspondant.We know, from DE-U-87 11910, a device allowing to fix a cable on an electrical structure. In this Indeed, the body of this structure is provided with different cable receiving devices, associated with cable ties clamping to secure each cable on a corresponding receiving agency.

Cette solution alternative présente cependant certains inconvénients. En particulier, il est à souligner que la réalisation industrielle de cette structure s'avère délicate, puisque cette dernière comporte de nombreux organes mécaniques distincts. Dans ces conditions, cette structure doit faire l'objet d'un montage préalable.This alternative solution, however, presents certain disadvantages. In particular, it should be noted that the industrial realization of this structure turns out delicate, since the latter has many separate mechanical parts. Under these conditions, this structure must be pre-assembled.

Enfin, DE-U-29822734 divulgue une structure électrique équipée d'un élément de réception d'un câble, qui est pourvu d'une surface de support associée à un évidement, qui permet le passage d'une bande de serrage. Celle-ci assure la fixation d'un câble correspondant sur la surface de support précitée.Finally, DE-U-29822734 discloses an electrical structure equipped with a cable receiving element, which is provided with a support surface associated with a recess, which allows the passage of a tightening band. This one secures a corresponding cable on the surface of the aforementioned support.

Cette dernière solution se révèle cependant peu satisfaisante, notamment en termes de facilité d'utilisation pour l'opérateur.The latter solution, however, is not very satisfactory, especially in terms of ease of use for the operator.

Ceci étant précisé, l'invention se propose de remédier aux différents inconvénients évoqués ci-dessus.Having said this, the invention proposes to remedy to the various drawbacks mentioned above.

A cet effet, elle a pour objet une structure électrique conforme à la revendication 1 annexée. Des variantes avantageuses de réalisation font l'objet des sous-revendications.To this end, its object is a structure electric device according to claim 1 appended. of the advantageous variants are the subject of subclaims.

L'invention a également pour objet une installation de fermeture ou de protection solaire, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend au moins une structure électrique telle que définie ci-dessus.The invention also relates to an installation for closure or sun protection, characterized in that that it comprises at least one electrical structure such as defined above.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre de différents modes de réalisation d'une structure électrique, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe, illustrant de façon partielle une structure électrique conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessous, illustrant de façon partielle la structure électrique de la figure 1 ;
  • les figures 3 et 3bis sont des vues respectivement en coupe et de dessous, analogues aux figures 1 et 2, illustrant une première variante de réalisation de la structure électrique, conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe, analogue à la figure 1, illustrant une variante supplémentaire de réalisation de structure électrique conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 5 est une vue en perspective, illustrant de façon partielle une structure électrique conforme à une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the description which follows of various embodiments of an electrical structure, given solely by way of nonlimiting example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a sectional view, partially illustrating an electrical structure according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a bottom view, partially illustrating the electrical structure of Figure 1;
  • Figures 3 and 3bis are views respectively in section and from below, similar to Figures 1 and 2, illustrating a first alternative embodiment of the electrical structure, according to the invention;
  • Figure 4 is a sectional view, similar to Figure 1, illustrating an additional alternative embodiment of the electrical structure according to the invention;
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view, partially illustrating an electrical structure according to another alternative embodiment of the invention.

Les figures 1 et 2 illustrent une structure électrique conforme à l'invention, qui est par exemple un coffret électrique ou un chemin de câbles.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate an electrical structure according to the invention, which is for example a box or a cable tray.

Cette structure, désignée dans son ensemble par la référence 2, comprend une paroi de fond plane 4, dans laquelle est ménagée une découpe 6. Une patte 8, de forme allongée, s'étend dans cette découpe 6, en étant réalisée d'un seul tenant avec le fond 4 de la structure. De façon avantageuse, ce fond 4 et cette découpe 6 sont réalisés en un matériau moulable, par exemple en polyéthylène.This structure, designated as a whole by the reference 2, includes a flat bottom wall 4, in which is formed a cutout 6. A tab 8, of shape elongated, extends in this cutout 6, being made in one piece with the bottom 4 of the structure. In a way advantageous, this bottom 4 and this cutout 6 are made in a moldable material, for example polyethylene.

Cette patte 8 présente donc une extrémité 8', reliée au fond 4, ainsi qu'une extrémité libre 8", qui s'étend à l'intérieur de la découpe 6. Il est également à noter que la patte 8 présente sensiblement la même épaisseur que le fond 4, de sorte qu'elle ne fait pas saillie par rapport au volume défini par la découpe 6.This tab 8 therefore has an end 8 ', connected at the bottom 4, as well as a free end 8 ", which extends to inside the cutout 6. It should also be noted that the tab 8 has substantially the same thickness as the bottom 4, so that it does not protrude from the volume defined by cutout 6.

Il est en outre prévu un collier de serrage 10, de type connu en soi. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, ce collier 10 est conforme à celui commercialisé par la société LEGRAND sous la référence COLRING.There is also provided a clamp 10, of type known per se. By way of nonlimiting example, this collar 10 conforms to that marketed by LEGRAND company under the reference COLRING.

On va maintenant décrire l'opération de fixation d'un câble 12 sur la structure 2, au moyen de la patte 8 et du collier de serrage 10. We will now describe the operation of fixing a cable 12 on the structure 2, by means of the tab 8 and the hose clamp 10.

A cet effet, on dispose tout d'abord le collier 10 autour du câble 12, en laissant subsister un jeu, de manière à définir un espace intercalaire. Puis, on dispose ce collier et ce câble autour de la patte 8, de sorte que cette dernière se trouve logée dans l'espace intercalaire précité.For this purpose, we firstly have the collar 10 around the cable 12, leaving a clearance, so as to define an intermediate space. Then we have this collar and this cable around the lug 8, so that the latter is housed in the intermediate space supra.

Dans ces conditions, un tronçon 14 du câble 12 repose sur la surface en regard de la patte 8, qui forme ainsi un organe de réception du tronçon 14 considéré. Enfin, il s'agit de serrer le collier 10 autour des surfaces extérieures du câble 12 et de la patte 8, de façon à les fixer mutuellement de manière fiable.Under these conditions, a section 14 of the cable 12 rests on the surface opposite the tab 8, which thus forms a receiving member of the section 14 considered. Finally, it to tighten the collar 10 around the surfaces cable 12 and tab 8, so that they fix each other reliably.

A titre de variante, il est possible de disposer tout d'abord le collier 10 autour de la patte 8, puis d'introduire le câble 12 dans l'espace intercalaire défini par les parois en regard de ce collier et de cette patte. Au terme de l'opération, le collier se trouve serré, de façon analogue à ce qui a été décrit précédemment, afin d'assurer la fixation mutuelle du câble et de la patte.Alternatively, it is possible to arrange any first the collar 10 around the tab 8, then introduce the cable 12 into the defined intermediate space by the walls opposite this collar and this tab. At the end of the operation, the collar is tightened, analogous to what was described above, so to ensure the mutual fixing of the cable and the bracket.

Les figures 3 et 3bis illustrent une première variante de réalisation de l'invention. Sur ces figures, les éléments mécaniques analogues à ceux des figures 1 et 2 y sont affectés des mêmes numéros de référence, augmentés de 50.Figures 3 and 3bis illustrate a first variant for carrying out the invention. In these figures, the mechanical elements similar to those of FIGS. 1 and 2 y have the same reference numbers, increased by 50.

La structure électrique 52 de cette figure 3 possède un fond 54, creusé d'une découpe 56, à partir duquel s'étend une paroi latérale 57. Une patte 58 s'étend, d'un seul tenant, à partir du pourtour d'un orifice 59, ménagé dans cette paroi latérale 57.The electrical structure 52 of this figure 3 has a bottom 54, hollowed out with a cutout 56, from which extends a side wall 57. A tab 58 extends, of a in one piece, from the periphery of an orifice 59, formed in this side wall 57.

Par ailleurs, il est prévu un collier 60, assurant la fixation d'un câble 62 sur la patte 58, de façon analogue à ce qui a été décrit précédemment. Une fois solidarisé, ce câble 62, qui s'étend au travers de l'orifice 59, repose sur la patte 58 par son tronçon 64. Furthermore, a collar 60 is provided, ensuring the fixing a cable 62 to the lug 58, in a similar manner to which has been described previously. Once united, this cable 62, which extends through the opening 59, rests on lug 58 by its section 64.

Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 3bis, la patte s'étend dans la projection P de la découpe 56, réalisée selon un axe A perpendiculaire au fond 54. De plus, l'extrémité libre 58" de cette patte, opposée à celle 58' la reliant au corps de la structure, est orientée vers le volume intérieur de ce corps, qui est noté V. ceci est avantageux en termes de compacité de l'ensemble de la structure électrique.As shown more particularly in FIG. 3bis, the tab extends into the projection P of the blank 56, performed along an axis A perpendicular to the bottom 54. From more, the free end 58 "of this tab, opposite to that 58 'connecting it to the body of the structure, is oriented towards the interior volume of this body, which is noted V. this is advantageous in terms of compactness of the whole electrical structure.

La figure 4 illustre une seconde variante de réalisation de l'invention. Sur cette figure, les éléments mécaniques analogues à ceux des figures 1 et 2 y sont affectés des mêmes numéros de référence, augmentés de 100.Figure 4 illustrates a second variant of realization of the invention. In this figure, the elements mechanical similar to those of Figures 1 and 2 are there assigned the same reference numbers, increased by 100.

La structure électrique 102 de cette figure 4 possède un fond 104, creusé d'une découpe 106. Une aile 107, perpendiculaire au fond 104, s'étend à partir du pourtour de la découpe précitée 106.The electrical structure 102 of this figure 4 has a bottom 104, hollowed out with a cutout 106. A wing 107, perpendicular to the bottom 104, extends from the periphery of the aforementioned cutout 106.

Par ailleurs, une patte 108, parallèle au fond 104, prolonge cette aile 107. Il est enfin prévu un collier 110, permettant la fixation sur la patte 108 d'un câble 112, qui repose par l'intermédiaire d'un tronçon 114.Furthermore, a tab 108, parallel to the bottom 104, extends this wing 107. Finally, a collar 110 is provided, allowing the fixing on the tab 108 of a cable 112, which rests via a section 114.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation des figures 3 et 3bis, la patte 108 s'étend dans la projection P' de la découpe 106. De plus, l'extrémité libre 108" de cette patte, opposée à celle 108' la reliant au corps, est dirigée vers le volume intérieur V' de ce corps.As in the embodiment of Figures 3 and 3bis, the tab 108 extends in the projection P 'of the cutout 106. In addition, the free end 108 "of this leg, opposite that 108 'connecting it to the body, is directed towards the interior volume V 'of this body.

La figure 5 illustre une troisième variante de réalisation de l'invention. Sur cette figure, les éléments mécaniques analogues à ceux des figures 1 et 2 y sont affectés des mêmes numéros de référence, augmentés de 150.Figure 5 illustrates a third variant of realization of the invention. In this figure, the elements mechanical similar to those of Figures 1 and 2 are there assigned the same reference numbers, increased by 150.

La structure électrique 152, représentée sur cette figure 5, est un coffret destiné à la commande d'une installation de fermeture ou de protection solaire.The electrical structure 152, shown in this Figure 5, is a box for the control of a closing or sun protection installation.

Elle comprend un fond 154, à partir duquel s'étend une paroi latérale 157, qui est creusée de plusieurs échancrures 159, de forme sensiblement semi-circulaire. Chaque échancrure 159 est destinée à la réception d'un ensemble de câbles 162, ou toron, qui est formé de différents câbles individuels 1621, réunis par l'intermédiaire d'une gaine 1622.It comprises a bottom 154, from which extends a side wall 157, which is hollowed out by several notches 159, of substantially semi-circular shape. Each notch 159 is intended for the reception of a set of cables 162, or strand, which is formed of different individual cables 162 1 , joined together by means of a sheath 162 2 .

Par ailleurs, plusieurs pattes 158 s'étendent, à partir du pourtour des échancrures précitées 159, à l'intérieur de découpes correspondantes 156, ménagées dans le fond 154. Chaque patte 158 est pourvue d'une extrémité 158' reliée au corps de la structure, ainsi que d'une extrémité libre 158'', qui s'étend dans une des découpes 156.Furthermore, several legs 158 extend, to from the periphery of the aforementioned notches 159, at the inside of corresponding cutouts 156, arranged in the bottom 154. Each leg 158 is provided with one end 158 'connected to the body of the structure, as well as a free end 158 '', which extends into one of the cutouts 156.

Par opposition au mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2, chaque patte 158 présente une épaisseur, à savoir une dimension perpendiculaire au plan des découpes 156, qui est supérieure à celle de chaque découpe. Cependant, la partie de chaque patte 158, qui fait saillie par rapport au plan de chaque découpe, à savoir vers le haut sur cette figure 5, s'étend en direction du volume intérieur V" de la structure électrique. En d'autres termes, ces pattes 158 ne font pas saillie à l'opposé de ce volume intérieur.As opposed to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2, each tab 158 has a thickness, namely a dimension perpendicular to the plane of the cutouts 156, which is greater than that of each cut. However, the part each leg 158, which projects from the plane of each cut, namely upwards in this figure 5, extends towards the interior volume V "of the electrical structure. In other words, these legs 158 do not not protrude opposite this interior volume.

Ces pattes 158 possèdent une surface 1581, en l'occurrence supérieure sur la figure 5, dont le profil est adapté à la réception du toron 162. Ainsi, cette surface 1581 affecte le profil d'un cylindre tronqué. Par ailleurs, cette surface de réception 1581 est pourvue de stries 1582, destinées à maintenir fermement en position le toron 162, une fois ce dernier solidarisé à la patte 158.These tabs 158 have a surface 158 1 , in this case upper in FIG. 5, the profile of which is adapted to the reception of the strand 162. Thus, this surface 158 1 affects the profile of a truncated cylinder. Furthermore, this receiving surface 158 1 is provided with ridges 158 2 , intended to firmly hold the strand 162 in position, once the latter is secured to the tab 158.

Enfin, à l'opposé des échancrures 159, chaque patte 158 est pourvue de nervures latérales d'extrémité 1583. Ces dernières s'opposent à un éventuel déplacement axial du collier 160 par rapport à la patte 158, ce qui confère une grande sécurité à la fixation ainsi réalisée. Finally, opposite the notches 159, each tab 158 is provided with lateral end ribs 158 3 . The latter oppose any axial displacement of the collar 160 relative to the lug 158, which gives great security to the fixing thus produced.

A titre de variante, ces nervures de butée 1583 peuvent être remplacées par une portion d'extrémité de la patte 158, par exemple de forme tronconique.As a variant, these abutment ribs 158 3 can be replaced by an end portion of the tab 158, for example of frustoconical shape.

Quand le toron 162 a été fixé à la patte 158, il repose sur cette dernière par l'intermédiaire de son tronçon 164. Cette fixation est assurée par le collier 160, qui possède un embout 1601, adapté pour arrêter de façon connue en soi l'extrémité libre 1602 de ce collier, dans une position donnée de serrage.When the strand 162 has been fixed to the tab 158, it rests on the latter via its section 164. This fixing is ensured by the collar 160, which has a nozzle 160 1 , adapted to stop in a manner known per se the free end 160 2 of this collar, in a given tightening position.

Il est à noter que cet embout 1601 et cette extrémité libre 1602 peuvent être munis de moyens permettant leur déplacement relatif, dans un unique sens, correspondant à un rétrécissement du volume intérieur du collier 160. A titre de variante, cette extrémité libre 1602 peut également se déplacer, par rapport à l'embout 1601, selon deux sens opposés, correspondant soit au rétrécissement, soit à l'agrandissement du volume intérieur précité.It should be noted that this end piece 160 1 and this free end 160 2 can be provided with means allowing their relative displacement, in a single direction, corresponding to a narrowing of the internal volume of the collar 160. As a variant, this free end 160 2 can also move, relative to the nozzle 160 1 , in two opposite directions, corresponding either to the narrowing, or to the enlargement of the aforementioned interior volume.

L'invention permet de réaliser les objectifs précédemment mentionnés.The invention achieves the objectives previously mentioned.

En effet, la mise en oeuvre du dispositif de fixation de l'invention est simple, rapide et intuitive pour l'opérateur.Indeed, the implementation of the fixing device of the invention is simple, fast and intuitive to the operator.

Ainsi, ce dernier n'a à manipuler qu'un nombre restreint d'organes mécaniques, étant donné que seul le collier de serrage est rapporté. Par ailleurs, étant donné que chaque patte présente une extrémité reliée au corps et une extrémité libre, elle est d'une facilité d'accès notable pour l'utilisateur, en vue de la pose du collier de serrage.So, the latter only has to handle a number restricted mechanical organs, since only the clamp is reported. Furthermore, given that each leg has one end connected to the body and a free end, it is easy to access notable for the user, with a view to fitting the collar Tightening.

Puisque la patte de fixation s'étend dans une découpe, ou selon la projection de cette dernière, la fabrication globale de la structure électrique de l'invention est aisée, sur un plan industriel. En effet, il est notamment possible de faire appel à un mode de moulage particulièrement simple, de type direct sans tiroir, pour l'obtention de l'ensemble de la structure et de ses pattes de fixation.Since the mounting bracket extends in a cutout, or according to the projection of the latter, the manufacturing overall electrical structure of the invention is easy, on an industrial level. Indeed, it is notably possible to use a molding mode particularly simple, direct type without drawer, for obtaining the whole structure and its legs of fixation.

En outre, la patte de fixation ne fait pas saillie à l'opposé du volume intérieur de la structure puisqu'elle est, soit entièrement incluse dans le volume de la découpe, soit dirigée vers le volume intérieur précité. Ceci confère donc à l'ensemble de cette structure une compacité remarquable.In addition, the bracket does not protrude at the opposite of the interior volume of the structure since it is either fully included in the cutting volume, is directed towards the aforementioned interior volume. This gives therefore to the whole of this structure a compactness remarkable.

Le dispositif de l'invention est de plus adaptable à toutes les sections de câbles.The device of the invention is moreover adaptable to all cable sections.

Enfin, ce dispositif autorise d'éventuelles modifications dans l'agencement de la structure électrique, en particulier en cas de remplacement des câbles. Dans cette éventualité, il s'agit alors, soit de desserrer le collier, soit de le couper en vue de son remplacement, ce qui n'entraíne alors qu'un surcoût particulièrement faible.Finally, this device authorizes possible modifications in the layout of the electrical structure, especially when replacing cables. In this eventuality, it is either a question of loosening the either to cut it for replacement, this which only results in a particularly low additional cost.
