Abstract
Description
- The present invention lies in a protected multipolar terminal block for electrical panels.
- Terminal blocks aim at distributing the electrical power to countless conductors which by means of it they are wired inside any electrical panel or distributing system.
- The terminal blocks used at present are made of two plane plates of plastic material, that, specularly shaped, run parallel through the assembling of metal connecting bars which doubly act as wiring bars or connecting terminals and connecting bars of the above said side plates.
- For considerable power levels the main conductors that dispense energy to the bars/terminal posts have big sections and at convenience a bigger supplementary connector is supplied for each phase placed on the front side of the plastic plates opposed to where the connecting bars join; in particular, such supplementary connector is provided with an end which inserts into the plastic side plates, from the opposite side to the one where the connecting bars join, up to reach and connect to the corresponding bar/terminal post by means of a screw in order to guarantee electrical continuity to the wiring system.
- Purpose of the present invention is that of supplying a new model of terminal block which make assembling easy and reducing the costs, but also simple to disassemble for an easier access to the conductors in the occasion of adjustments to the electrical installation.
- The terminal block, according to the invention, is described in detail as follows and shown by the drawings of the following tables:
- 1) Front sight of the terminal block with partially removed parts
- 2) Bottom sight of the terminal block with partially removed parts
- 3) Face 3.8s of the
left plate 3s sight - 4) Face 3.9s of the
left plate 3s sight - 5) Face 3.8d of the
right plate 3d sight - 6) Face 3.9d of the
right plate 3d sight - 7) Enlargement of Fig. 5) with parts in evidence
- 8) Connecting cage 3.2d with relevant sight C and section DD
- 9) Connecting cage 3.3d with relevant sight E
- 10) Sight A of the
right plate 3d - 11) Sight B of the
Plate 3d with in evidence the housing of the little holding plate 21 with relevant sights F and G - 12) Holding plate 21
- 13) Sight H of the single cover 1 of the terminal block
- 14) Sight of the
insulating plate 30 with relevant sight I - 15) Sight in succession of the
insulator - 16) Front sight of the connectors 2 and relevant over sight Q
- 17) Left connecting
bar 42 made of the connectors 2 inserted in theinsulator 4s. -
- The present invention provides with a terminal block easy to assemble and disassemble preventing the operator from being obliged to part the main conductors connector from the second conductors connectors.
- Such invention, in a preferred execution, is made of two
parallel plates plastic insulators - Fig. 15); inserting the terminal metal connectors 2, already complete with connectors for main conductors, in the insulators we obtain the connecting
bars 42 whose ends are apt to join solidly with the connecting cages on theplates insulating plate 30. - The insulating cages are all made of four straight sides, of which three adjacent and perpendicular with each other and to the plate surface where they belong, and one laying in such plane and adjacent to the former three. The inserting of the connecting
bars 42, Fig 17) in the correspondent cages is performed by an action that moves them simultaneously parallel to each other along the respective directions α,β,γ e δ, as can be seen in Figs. 3) and 4). The big cages 3.1d and 3.3d are identically shaped, with all the sides and correspondent angles of equal measure but angularly offset with the intent to keep the connectingbars 42, and consequently themetal bars 6, differently inclined for an easier inserting of the conductors in the connectors. Similarly we can say for the couple 3.2d and 3.4d. - Furthermore the big cages 3.1d and 3.3d are specular and identically made of correspondent sides and angles measuring the same as the cages 3.2s and 3.4s, but differing for the directions of inserting of the connecting
bars 42 that come out to be respectively δ and β for the former two and γ and α for the others. Similarly it can be said for the small cages 3.2d, 3.4d, 3.1s and 3.3s. - To a big type cage, for instance 3.1d on the
plate 3d, it corresponds in parallel a small cage, then, 3.1s on theplate 3s; furthermore the cages alternate on the same plate, i.e. a cage, for instance, small has adjacent big cages and vice versa; in the small cages the hooked ends 4.1 of the insulators 4 are inserted, whereas in the big cages it must be the ends 4.2, such that the connectors 2.1 for main conductors are with each other maximally distant on the faces 3.9s and 3.9d. - Given the mentioned equalities we limit ourselves to analyse in detail a single small cage and a single big cage, for instance, the 3.2d and the 3.3d. The cage 3.2d, Fig. 8) is made of two
parallel sides 7 and 9 and of a side 8 adjacent and perpendicular to the former two and characterized of a rounded zone 8.1 and of a hole 8.2 of rectangular shape. It is made also ofside 10, adjacent and perpendicular to the former three and constituted from thesame plate 3d whom the cage belongs to. The only free border of the side 10) has a straight longitudinal concavity 10.2 transversal and adjacent to the side 9, see Sec. DD of Fig. 8) and Fig. 6). The side 9 has a holding dent 9.1 on the face directed towards the inside of the cage that has the purpose to prevent the connecting bar to slip off towards the opposite side when inserting along the direction γ. - The big cage is made of the
parallel sides side 12 adjacent and perpendicular to the former two and characterized of a rounded zone 12.1. It is made of aside 14 too, adjacent and perpendicular to the former three and formed by thesame plate 3d whom the cage belongs to. Theside 13 has a holding dent 13.1, directed towards the inside of the cage, that has the purpose of preventing the connectingbar 42 to slip off towards the opposite side when inserting along the direction β. Theside 11 is characterized of a transversal fold 11.1 apt to house the thickening 2.11 of the metal bar 2 close to the connector 2.1 as main conductor, Fig. 16). - The
side 14 has the only free rim characterized of a straight convexity 14.1 transversal and adjacent toside 13, Figs. 6) and 9). - The sides 3.5d, 3.6d and 3.7d are specular to the respective 3.5 s, 3.6s and 3.7s, see Figs. 3), 4), 5) and 6).
- The side 3.6 is made of a plane plate perpendicular to the plate plane 3 and equipped with a rectangular
horizontal slot 15, which becomes itself a hole of rectangular section as the thickness of the plate 3 has just been overtaken, see Figs 7) and 10). - The side 3.5 is a plane plate perpendicular to the
plate 3d and characterized of atooth 16, see Figs. 3) and 5). The side 3.7d, see Fig. 7), is a plane plate characterized of twostraight folds little tooth 19, together with the end 21.1 of the locking movable plate 21 prevent the unhooking of the plates 3 from the supporting bar ISO (DIN), alternatively there is ahole 31 for the wall mounting. - The locking plate 21 goes in the proper housing arranged on the side 3.7 along the direction ε. The housing is made of an
inverted bridge 22 and of twohooks 23, see Fig. 11). - The elastic wings 21.2 of the plate 21 are apt to warp conveniently, permitting the plate 21 to slide, if pulled from the end 21.4 towards the opposite side of that of insertion, on purpose to permit the unhooking of the bar ISO (DIN) connectors, though not letting the plate 21 slip off completely from its housing.
- The metal connectors 2, Fig. 16) are all the same and characterized of a succession of connectors whose inserting holes of the conductors have conveniently different and alternate diameters such that the adjacent connectors, as being overturned in the alternate insulators 4 right and left, have not big diameter holes lined with big diameter holes on the adjacent bars, for a better distribution of the conductors inside the terminal block.
- The ends 4.1 of the insulators 4 are characterized of an hook 4.11 such to match with the longitudinal slot 10.1 of
side 10 of the small cage, in addition the rung 4.13 is apt to go in the hole 8.2 of side 8, such to prevent the slipping off of the connecting bar towards the normal direction to the side plates 3. The hole 4.12 is fit to house the holding tooth 9.1 apt to prevent the slipping off of the bar in the same direction of insertion α or β or γ or δ .. The end 4.2 of the insulator is characterized of a hole 4.23 fit to house the end of the connectors 2 equipped of connector 2.1 as main conductor. The insertion of the connecting bar in the cages brings about the insertion ofside 14 of the big cage in the neck 42.1 and the holding dent 13.1 in the hole 4.22, such that the slipping off by the end 4.2 from the big cage is avoided both in the normal direction to the plate and in the same direction of insertion into the same. - The side 4.6 has three cusps 4.62 with respective strengthening threads 4.61 apt to better contain the metal connector 2 in the insulator, see Fig. 15) Sec. LL.
- The side 4.7 has other three strengthening threads 4.71 in correspondence of the threads 4.61.
- Last, the side 4.8 has always three strengthening threads 4.81 in correspondence of the 4.61 and 4.71, though inside the insulator and also a strengthening thickening 4.21 which prolongs externally on side 4.3 of the thickening 4.31.
- The cover 1 locks on the connectors, to cover the wirings, by means of the
holes 27 that couple with theteeth 16 of the plates 3 and by means of theteeth 26 which insert in theholes 15 of the plates 3, see Figs. 1), 2), 3) and 5). The removal of the cover occurs by disengaging theteeth 26 through an action on thehandles 24 made easy from thecuts 25 that increase the elasticity of the material. - Finally, the
insulating plate 30, Fig. 14), works to prevent the possible contact of a scratched cable with the supporting metal bar ISO (DIN), in addition it has a structure apt to get stuck between the two plates 3 by means of theprolongations 28 of the sides 3.7, see Figs. 11).
