Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for maintaining position of electrical terminal blocks.
  • a terminal block for the connection of electrical conductors is common way consisting of a set of terminal blocks arranged side by side rib in one row, the terminal blocks being fixed to a support rail to maintain alignment.
  • Alignment can also be facilitated by the presence of nipples on the junction blocks that can be housed in shape cavities corresponding on the adjacent terminal block in the row.
  • terminal blocks thus formed can be connected elements conductors, such as shunts, which make it possible to maintain several poles terminal block to the same potential, or plugs that connect a pole to a given electrical circuit.
  • conductors such as shunts, which make it possible to maintain several poles terminal block to the same potential, or plugs that connect a pole to a given electrical circuit.
  • a shunt or a file containing several cards must be used opposite several terminals spaced apart determined.
  • complementary elements such as hoods, are also used to protect at least part of the terminal block.
  • a cap can only be engaged on a row of terminal blocks of length determined.
  • the terminal blocks present between them a game due in particular to their manual disposition on the rail, to misalignments, or mold residues on the faces of the blocks or on their nipples to maintain alignment.
  • This game is irregular, the blocks are not arranged at a fixed interval and the length of a terminal block thus formed being random and greater than the sum of the size of the blocks junction parallel to the support rail.
  • the present invention aims to solve the problem technique of ensuring a constant separation between the blocks of connecting a terminal block by providing a device for clamping the blocks junctions against each other and substantially eliminating the game between them, while guaranteeing limited additional space.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for holding in position of terminal blocks fixed by a foot on a support of rail type, in particular for forming a terminal block, characterized in that it comprises a connecting part provided with locking means at its two ends to accommodate between these two ends a fixed number of blocks junctions pressed against each other in a row.
  • the device distinct from the support, can be used with the supports of known rail type.
  • the connecting part is constituted by a plate substantially parallel to the support rail.
  • the locking means comprise at least one shim for cooperating with a wall of a terminal block located at one end of the row.
  • its dimensions perpendicular to the rail of support can accommodate it in the space between the foot of the terminal blocks and the support rail.
  • the device comprises means at each of its ends to fix it to the blocks of junction at both ends of the row.
  • the attachment means comprises at minus a movable hook that can move outward when the introduction of the terminal blocks between the locking means and then to lodge in a cavity of the end terminal block of the row.
  • the attachment means comprise at least one fixed hook secured to the blocking means, the row of the blocks junction being compressed during the introduction of terminal blocks between the locking means, the hook being housed in a cavity of the block of end junction after the introduction.
  • the parts of the device located at the ends, outside the housing part of terminal blocks are dimension, perpendicular to the support rail, allowing them to be housed in under a separation flange of the terminal block formed by the terminal blocks, and of dimension parallel to the lower support to that of this flange.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view according to a first embodiment of realization.
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the device of FIG. partial section a schematic representation of a terminal block maintained by the device.
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of the device of FIG. cut on an enlarged scale, with a terminal block maintained.
  • Figure 4 is a detail view! in section according to a second embodiment.
  • a device 2 for holding in position of terminal blocks 3 intended to be fixed by a foot 4 to a rail-type support 5 comprises a connecting part consisting of a plate 6 substantially parallel to the rail of support 5, provided with locking means 7 at its two ends, constituted by shims 8 intended to cooperate with a wall of a terminal block 3 located at one end of the row.
  • the blocking means 7 located at both ends allow to accommodate between these two ends a fixed number of terminal blocks 3 pressed against each other in a row.
  • junction blocks 3 are in particular united in a alignment to form a terminal block to gather a set of poles performing specified functions.
  • Each terminal block 3 comprises, on one of its faces 9 perpendicular to the support rail 5, a pin 10 intended to be housed in a cavity 12 of corresponding shape formed on the opposite side of the block of junction 3 adjacent in alignment.
  • the plate 6 has a width perpendicular to the rail of support 5 for housing it between the foot 4 of the terminal blocks 3 and the rail 5 on which the terminal blocks 3 are fixed, a space E being present between the foot and the rail in the known type terminal blocks.
  • the device distinct from the support, can thus be used with the type supports rail known, and does not require a particular type of support.
  • the device 2 furthermore comprises, at each end, hooking means 13 for fixing it to the terminal blocks 3 end in alignment.
  • the attachment means are constituted by hooks movable 13 that can move outward when the blocks are introduced junction 3 between the shims 8, then to be housed in a cavity 14 of the block of end junction 3.
  • FIG. device has the same elements, with the difference that the means latching are constituted by fixed hooks 15, integral means the row of terminal blocks being compressed during the introduction of terminal blocks between the locking means, the hook is housing in a cavity of the end terminal block 3 after the introduction.
  • the wedges 8 and the hooks 13 or 15 at the ends of the plate have dimensions perpendicular to the rail that allow them to be housed below of flanges 16 limiting on either side the terminal block formed by the alignment of junction blocks contained on the plate.
  • the shims 8 and the hooks 13 or 15 have a dimension in the direction of the rail substantially equal to that of a flange, allowing them not to exceed the flange 16 when it is in position.
  • the rail 5 other terminal blocks 3 or other elements directly in contact with the flanges limiting the terminal block.
