Description
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de serre-câble pour bloquer un câble électrique par rapport à un support extérieur au dispositif.The present invention relates to a cable clamp device for blocking an electric cable relative to a support outside the device.
Le support extérieur au dispositif est en particulier formé par un bloc de jonction électrique qui est destiné à permettre le raccordement électrique de l'extrémité d'un câble électriquement conducteur par la technique dite vissé/vissé.The support outside the device is in particular formed by an electrical junction block which is intended to allow the electrical connection of the end of an electrically conductive cable by the so-called screwed / screwed technique.
Les dispositifs serre-câble habituellement rencontrés sont du type comprenant :
- un étrier qui comporte deux branches sensiblement mutuellement parallèles, et un fond courbe reliant lesdites deux branches, le câble électrique étant destiné à être logé dans le fond de l'étrier,
- une butée électriquement conductrice qui est montée entre les deux branches et qui comprend une face de contact destinée à venir en appui avec le câble électrique, et
- des moyens d'entraînement qui permettent de provoquer le déplacement de l'étrier par rapport à la butée conductrice pour alternativement rapprocher et écarter le fond et la butée, ces moyens d'entraînement étant destinés à permettre le serrage sélectif du câble électrique entre le fond de l'étrier et la face de contact de la butée conductrice.
- a stirrup which comprises two branches substantially mutually parallel, and a curved bottom connecting said two branches, the electric cable being intended to be housed in the bottom of the stirrup,
- an electrically conductive stop which is mounted between the two branches and which comprises a contact face intended to abut with the electric cable, and
- drive means which make it possible to cause the stirrup to move relative to the conductive stop so as to bring the base and the abutment closer together and away, these drive means being intended to allow the selective tightening of the electric cable between the bottom the stirrup and the contact face of the conductive stop.
Même si de tels dispositifs donnent entière satisfaction quant au raccordement électrique lui-même du câble conducteur, ces dispositifs présentent néanmoins l'inconvénient de ne pas maintenir fermement en position le câble, et en particulier lorsque le câble à raccorder est de diamètre important par rapport aux dimensions de la butée conductrice. Le document
La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients précités en fournissant un dispositif serre-câble dans lequel le câble est mieux maintenu en position, et ce sans augmenter le nombre de pièces constitutives du dispositif.The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a cable clamp device in which the cable is better held in position, without increasing the number of component parts of the device.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a device according to claim 1.
Ainsi, grâce à ces dispositions, la face de contact de la butée conductrice est destinée à venir en appui avec le câble conducteur en plusieurs points, et non uniquement en un seul comme dans l'état de la technique.Thus, thanks to these arrangements, the contact face of the conductive abutment is intended to bear against the conductor cable several points, and not only in one as in the state of the art.
Ainsi, le dispositif permet également de serrer fermement des câbles de diamètre réduit.Thus, the device also makes it possible to firmly tighten cables of reduced diameter.
Avantageusement, la projection des ouvertures sur un plan perpendiculaire aux branches de l'étrier et selon une direction sensiblement parallèle aux branches est de forme sensiblement rectangulaire, dont la longueur est inférieure à la largeur de la bande de l'étrier.Advantageously, the projection of the openings on a plane perpendicular to the branches of the stirrup and in a direction substantially parallel to the branches is of substantially rectangular shape, whose length is less than the width of the band of the stirrup.
Encore de préférence, la butée électriquement conductrice est constituée par une barrette de liaison d'un bloc de jonction électrique.Still preferably, the electrically conductive stop is constituted by a connecting strip of an electrical junction block.
De manière préférée, le support extérieur est formé par un corps en matériau isolant constitutif du bloc de jonction électrique.Preferably, the outer support is formed by a body of insulating material constituting the electrical terminal block.
La présente invention a en outre pour objet un bloc de jonction électrique comprenant un corps en matériau isolant dans lequel sont ménagés des ouvertures de raccordement électrique, au moins un dispositif de serre-câble selon l'une quelconque des caractéristiques précitées étant implanté dans au moins l'une des ouvertures de raccordement électrique.The present invention further relates to an electrical terminal block comprising a body of insulating material in which are formed electrical connection openings, at least one cable clamp device according to any one of the aforementioned features being implanted in at least one of the electrical connection openings.
De toute façon, la présente invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, faite en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, deux formes d'exécution du dispositif de serre-câble selon la présente invention.
- La

figure 2 est une vue analogue à lafigure 1 , d'un deuxième mode de réalisation du dispositif selon la présente invention, un câble de diamètre plus important étant immobilisé. - La
figure 3 est une vue de dessus de l'étrier seul, les branches étant coupées. - La
figure 4 est une vue analogue à lafigure 2 , un câble de diamètre réduit étant immobilisé dans le serre-câble.
- The
figure 1 is a front view of a cable tie device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, a given diameter cable being immobilized. - The
figure 2 is a view similar to thefigure 1 of a second embodiment of the device according to the present invention, a larger diameter cable being immobilized. - The
figure 3 is a top view of the stirrup alone, the branches being cut. - The
figure 4 is a view similar to thefigure 2 , a reduced diameter cable being immobilized in the cable clamp.
Le dispositif serre-câble 1 représenté, selon un premier mode de réalisation à la
Le dispositif serre-câble 1 comprend, de manière connue en soi, un étrier 2 dans lequel est logée une butée électriquement conductrice 10. Cette butée 10 prend par exemple la forme d'un tronçon de la barrette de liaison précitée.The cable clamping device 1 comprises, in a manner known per se, a
L'étrier 2 est formé de deux branches 3 et 4 qui s'étendent sensiblement parallèlement l'une à l'autre selon une direction X-X, ainsi que d'un fond courbe 5 qui relie les deux branches 3, 4. A l'opposé du fond 5, ces deux branches 3 et 4 possèdent respectivement des extrémités libres 5 et 6.The
On comprend ainsi que l'étrier 2 possède une forme générale de U. Il est conformé dans une bande de matériau plat dont la largeur est prédéterminée. Les branches 3 et 4 sont de longueur supérieure à la largeur de l'étrier 2.It is thus understood that the
La butée électriquement conductrice 10 est située entre les deux branches 3 et 4 de l'étrier. Cette butée 10 est de forme générale parallélépipédique et possède une première face 11 tournée vers les extrémités libres 5 et 6 des branches 3, 4, et une deuxième face 12 opposée tournée vers le fond courbe 5 de l'étrier 2. La deuxième face 12 est une face de contact électrique avec le câble conducteur 8 pour établir une liaison électrique avec ce câble lorsque la butée est serrée contre celui-ci, dans le fond 5 de l'étrier.The electrically
A cet effet, le dispositif de serre-câble 1 comprend de manière habituelle, des moyens d'entraînement (non représentés) qui permettent d'obtenir le mouvement relatif de l'étrier 2 par rapport à la butée 10 pour, soit rapprocher le fond 5 en direction de la butée, et ainsi serrer le câble dans le fond, soit au contraire écarter le fond 5 de la butée 10, c'est-à-dire provoquer le rapprochement des extrémités libres 5, 6 des branches 3, 4 vers la butée 10, et ainsi desserrer le câble 8.For this purpose, the cable tie device 1 comprises, in the usual manner, drive means (not shown) which make it possible to obtain the relative movement of the
Ces moyens d'entraînement sont par exemple des moyens à écrou qui, par vissage de l'écrou, provoquent le déplacement de l'étrier 2 dans le sens du serrage du câble. L'étrier possède un mouvement de va-et-vient en translation selon la direction parallèle à l'axe X-X, perpendiculaire au plan défini par la première face 11 de la butée 10.These drive means are, for example, nut means which, by screwing the nut, cause the
Selon une première caractéristique essentielle de l'invention, la face de contact 12 de la butée 10 est de forme concave dont la concavité est tournée vers le fond 5 de l'étrier 2. Ainsi, le câble 8 est amené à être en contact avec cette face 12 en plusieurs points, ce qui assure un meilleur maintien de ce câble.According to a first essential characteristic of the invention, the
De préférence, la face de contact 12 prend la forme d'une goulotte possédant une âme centrale 15 qui est sensiblement plane et parallèle à la première face 11, ainsi que deux pans inclinés 17 et 18 qui s'étendent à partir de cette âme en divergeant en direction du fond 5 de l'étrier. Le câble 8 peut ainsi lors du serrage, venir en appui avec l'un ou les deux pans inclinés et/ou avec l'âme centrale selon le diamètre de ce câble.Preferably, the
Les pans inclinés 17 et 18 sont de largeur inférieure à la largeur de l'étrier 2.The
Le câble 8 représenté à la
A l'inverse, pour immobiliser un câble de diamètre réduit par rapport au câble 8, le dispositif de serre-câble 20 selon un deuxième mode de réalisation représenté aux
Les parties constitutives similaires ou identiques au premier mode de réalisation de la
Le dispositif serre-câble 20 diffère du dispositif 1 par le fait que deux ouvertures 21 et 22 sont ménagées dans le fond 5 de l'étrier 2 en étant respectivement situées à l'aplomb des pans inclinés 17 et 18 de la face de contact 12 de la butée 10.The
Les dimensions des ouvertures 21 et 22 sont adaptées pour que les pans inclinés 17 et 18 pénètrent au moins en partie dans ces ouvertures lorsque le fond 5 est rapproché de la butée 10 (
Ainsi, la projection des ouvertures 21 et 22 sur un plan perpendiculaire aux branches 3, 4 (ou parallèle à la première face 11 de la butée), et selon une direction sensiblement parallèle à l'axe X-X, est de forme sensiblement rectangulaire. La longueur de ce rectangle est inférieure à la largeur de l'étrier 2, comme cela est plus particulièrement visible à la
Un câble 26 de diamètre réduit est bloqué dans le fond 5 de l'étrier (
Dans un bloc de jonction équipé d'un tel dispositif serre-câble, on peut donc immobiliser des câbles non seulement fermement, mais également de diamètres compris dans une plage élargie, bien inférieurs aux dimensions de l'espace défini par la position de l'étrier (
Comme il va se soi, l'invention ne se limite pas aux formes de réalisation préférentielles décrites ci-dessus, à titre d'exemple non limitatif ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes de réalisation dans le cadre des revendications ci-après.As is self-evident, the invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described above, by way of non-limiting example; on the contrary, it embraces all the variants within the scope of the following claims.
