Description

La présente invention concerne un système de raccordement électrique et de fixation d'au moins un conducteur électrique en forme de plaque sur une pièce de support.The present invention relates to a system for electrical connection and fixing of at least one electrical conductor in the form of a plate on a support piece.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention se rapporte à de tels systèmes dans lesquels la pièce de support est munie d'un goujon adapté pour s'engager dans un trou correspondant du conducteur et pour coopérer avec un écrou de serrage du conducteur sur la pièce de support.More particularly, the invention relates to such systems in which the support piece is provided with a stud adapted to engage in a corresponding hole of the conductor and to cooperate with a driver's tightening nut on the support piece. .

De tels systèmes de raccordement sont couramment utilisés par exemple dans des systèmes de plaques ou de barres de bus pour assurer le raccordement de conducteurs électriques.Such connection systems are commonly used for example in busbar or busbar systems for connecting electrical conductors.

Un exemple d'un tel système est décrit dans le document FR-A-2 784 241.An example of such a system is described in document FR-A-2 784 241.

Le document EP 0993083 décrit un système de raccordement électrique d'une fiche de contact avec un conducteur en forme de plaque. Le système concerne un clip qui comporte une douille cylindrique qui présente à l'une de ses extrémités une lèvre d'appui et à l'autre extrémité des fentes ouvertes s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe de la douille, le bord de la douille sur ladite autre extrémité étant en saillie et en forme de cône tronqué réalisant une surface d'arrêt.EP 0993083 discloses a system for electrically connecting a contact plug with a plate-shaped conductor. The system relates to a clip which comprises a cylindrical sleeve which has at one of its ends a support lip and at the other end open slots extending parallel to the axis of the socket, the edge of the socket on said other end being projecting and truncated cone-shaped providing a stop surface.

On sait également que de façon générale, ces systèmes de raccordement présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients, notamment lors de la mise en place et du serrage du conducteur contre la pièce de support, dans des endroits difficiles d'accès.It is also known that, in general, these connection systems have a certain number of disadvantages, especially during the introduction and tightening of the driver against the support part, in places difficult to access.

En effet, ces systèmes de raccordement sont généralement placés dans des fonds d'armoires ou de paniers d'alimentation électrique et sont difficiles d'accès aux opérateurs de montage.Indeed, these connection systems are generally placed in the fund of cabinets or power supply baskets and are difficult to access the assembly operators.

Il peut alors arriver que cet opérateur laisse échapper l'une ou l'autre des pièces entrant dans la constitution de ces systèmes et que celle-ci soit difficile voire impossible à récupérer.It may happen that this operator lets out one or other of the parts involved in the constitution of these systems and that it is difficult or impossible to recover.

On conçoit alors que ceci est gênant, voire dangereux, notamment pour l'intégrité électrique du reste de l'armoire ou du panier.It is conceivable then that this is annoying, even dangerous, especially for the electrical integrity of the rest of the cabinet or basket.

Le but de l'invention est donc de résoudre ces problèmes.The object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un système de raccordement électrique et de fixation d'au moins un conducteur électrique en forme de plaque sur une pièce de support munie d'un goujon adapté pour s'engager dans un trou correspondant du conducteur et pour coopérer avec un écrou de serrage du conducteur sur la pièce de support, caractérisé en ce qu'une entretroise annulaire en matériau conducteur de l'électricité est associée au conducteur sur le côté de ce conducteur dirigé vers la pièce de support, et en ce que l'écrou est placé sur le côté opposé du conducteur, et est associé à l'entretoise par des moyens d'accrochage autorisant la rotation de l'écrou par rapport à l'entretoise et une course déterminée de déplacement axial de l'écrou par rapport à cette entretoise, entre une position de montage éloignée du conducteur et une position de serrage en appui contre celui-ci, pour faciliter la mise en place puis le serrage du conducteur contre la pièce de support.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a system for electrically connecting and fixing at least one electrical conductor in the form of a plate on a support piece provided with a stud adapted to engage in a corresponding hole of the conductor. and to cooperate with a driver clamping nut on the support member, characterized in that an annular spacer of electrically conductive material is associated with the conductor on the side of the conductor directed towards the support member, and what the nut is placed on the opposite side of the conductor, and is associated with the spacer by hooking means allowing the rotation of the nut relative to the spacer and a determined axial displacement of the nut relative to this spacer, between a mounting position remote from the driver and a clamping position bearing against it, to facilitate the introduction and tightening of the driver against the support part.

  • la pièce de support est formée par un autre conducteur ;
  • la pièce de support est formée par un composant électrique ; et
  • la pièce de support est formée par une plaque de raccordement électrique.
According to other characteristics:
  • the driver's hole has a generally oblong shape to facilitate its centering on the stud;
  • the hooking means of the nut on the spacer are in the form of a tubular sleeve of the nut adapted to extend into the hole of the conductor and whose free end is provided with suitable stop means to cooperate with abutment means complementary to the spacer;

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la Fig.1 représente une vue en perspective d'un système de raccordement électrique selon l'invention en position de montage ;

The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Fig.1 shows a perspective view of an electrical connection system according to the invention in mounting position;
  • Fig.2 shows a sectional view of such a system;

  • Figures 4 and 5 show perspective views respectively of an annular spacer and a nut, forming part of such a system; and

On a en effet représenté sur les figures 1 à 5, un système de raccordement électrique et de fixation d'au moins un conducteur électrique en forme de plaque, désigné par la référence générale 1, sur une pièce de support désignée par la référence générale 2.FIGS. 1 to 5 show a system for electrically connecting and fixing at least one plate-shaped electrical conductor, denoted by the general reference 1, to a support member designated by the general reference 2 .

Cette pièce de support 2 comporte un goujon désigné par la référence générale 3, adapté pour s'engager dans un trou correspondant 4 du conducteur 1 et pour coopérer avec un écrou de serrage 5 du conducteur sur la pièce de support 2.This support piece 2 comprises a pin designated by the general reference 3, adapted to engage in a corresponding hole 4 of the conductor 1 and to cooperate with a clamping nut 5 of the conductor on the support piece 2.

En fait, différentes variantes de réalisation de la pièce de support peuvent être envisagées.In fact, different embodiments of the support part can be envisaged.

Ainsi, cette pièce de support 2 peut être formée par un autre conducteur, un composant électrique, une plaque ou barre de raccordement électrique, etc..Thus, this support piece 2 can be formed by another conductor, an electrical component, an electrical connection plate or bar, etc.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur ces figures, la pièce de support 2 est formée par un autre conducteur, désigné par la référence générale 2a sur ces figures, muni au niveau du goujon 3, d'une pièce de renfort désignée par la référence générale 2b.In the example illustrated in these figures, the support piece 2 is formed by another conductor, designated by the general reference 2a in these figures, provided at the stud 3, a reinforcement piece designated by the general reference 2b .

Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation peuvent être envisagés.Of course, other embodiments can be envisaged.

On conçoit alors que grâce à une telle structure, le goujon 3 est solidement fixé sur la pièce de support 2.It is then conceivable that thanks to such a structure, the stud 3 is securely fixed on the support part 2.

Le système de raccordement selon l'invention comporte une entretoise annulaire en matériau conducteur de l'électricité, et qui est désignée par la référence générale 6 sur ces figures.The connection system according to the invention comprises an annular spacer of electrically conductive material, which is designated by the general reference 6 in these figures.

Cette entretoise annulaire en matériau conducteur de l'électricité 6 est associée au conducteur 1, sur le côté de ce conducteur dirigé vers la pièce de support 2.This annular spacer of electrically conductive material 6 is associated with the conductor 1, on the side of this conductor directed towards the support part 2.

L'écrou 5 est placé sur le côté opposé du conducteur 1 et est associé à cette entretoise 6 par des moyens d'accrochage autorisant la rotation de cet écrou par rapport à cette entretoise et une course déterminée de déplacement axial de cet écrou par rapport à cette entretoise entre une position de montage éloignée du conducteur, telle qu'illustrée sur les figures 1 et 2 et une position de serrage en appui contre celui-ci telle qu'illustrée sur la figure 3.The nut 5 is placed on the opposite side of the conductor 1 and is associated with this spacer 6 by hooking means allowing the rotation of this nut relative to this spacer and a determined axial displacement stroke of this nut relative to this spacer between a mounting position remote from the driver, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 and a clamping position bearing against it as shown in Figure 3.

Ceci permet de faciliter la mise en place puis le serrage du conducteur contre la pièce de support, comme cela sera décrit plus en détail par la suite. Ces moyens d'accrochage de l'écrou sur l'entretoise peuvent bien entendu présenter différentes formes.This facilitates the introduction and tightening of the driver against the support part, as will be described in more detail later. These attachment means of the nut on the spacer can of course have different shapes.

Ainsi par exemple, ces moyens d'accrochage de l'écrou sur l'entretoise peuvent se présenter sous la forme d'un manchon tubulaire 5a de l'écrou dont l'extrémité libre est munie de moyens de butée, par exemple 5b adaptés pour coopérer avec des moyens de butée complémentaires de l'entretoise formés par exemple par un rebord 6a de celle-ci.For example, these hooking means of the nut on the spacer may be in the form of a tubular sleeve 5a of the nut whose free end is provided with stop means, for example 5b adapted for cooperate with abutment means complementary to the spacer formed for example by a flange 6a thereof.

Ainsi, les moyens de butée de l'extrémité du manchon peuvent comprendre au moins une partie en saillie adaptée pour venir coopérer avec le rebord correspondant de l'entretoise.Thus, the stop means of the end of the sleeve may comprise at least one projecting portion adapted to cooperate with the corresponding flange of the spacer.

Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation peuvent être envisagés et ces moyens d'accrochage de l'écrou sur l'entretoise peuvent par exemple comporter des pattes en forme de crochets adaptées pour s'engager dans le trou correspondant du conducteur et pour coopérer avec des moyens de butée complémentaires de cette entretoise, formés par exemple par le rebord.Of course, other embodiments can be envisaged and these hooking means of the nut on the spacer can for example comprise brackets-shaped tabs adapted to engage in the corresponding hole of the driver and to cooperate with abutment means complementary to this spacer, formed for example by the flange.

L'entretoise comporte également sur son côté dirigé vers le conducteur, des moyens en forme de glissière de réception de celui-ci, tels que désignés par exemple par la référence générale 6b.The spacer also has on its side directed towards the driver means in the form of a receiving slide thereof, as designated for example by the general reference 6b.

Le trou 4 du conducteur présente une forme générale oblongue pour faciliter son centrage sur le goujon.The hole 4 of the conductor has a generally oblong shape to facilitate its centering on the stud.

En effet, les moyens en forme de glissière 6b de l'entretroise et cette forme générale oblongue du trou 4 du conducteur, autorisent une course déterminée de déplacement transversal de l'entretoise 6 et donc de l'écrou 5 accroché sur celle-ci, par rapport au conducteur 1, pour faciliter son centrage sur le goujon 3 de la pièce de support.Indeed, the slider-shaped means 6b of the spacer and this generally oblong shape of the driver's hole 4, allow a determined transverse displacement of the spacer 6 and thus the nut 5 hooked on it, relative to the conductor 1, to facilitate its centering on the stud 3 of the support piece.

Ce sous-ensemble pouvant se déplacer légèrement par rapport au conducteur, ceci permet un rattrapage d'un éventuel défaut d'alignement entre le goujon de la pièce de support et le reste du système.This subassembly can move slightly relative to the conductor, this allows a catch of any misalignment between the stud of the support part and the rest of the system.

De plus, la course déterminée de déplacement axial de l'écrou 5 par rapport à l'entretoise 6, entre la position de montage éloignée du conducteur 1 et la position de serrage en appui contre celui-ci, permet de monter plus simplement un conducteur à plusieurs systèmes de raccordement de ce type, sur une pièce de support comme cela est illustré sur la figure 6.In addition, the determined displacement of the axial displacement of the nut 5 relative to the spacer 6, between the mounting position remote from the conductor 1 and the clamping position in abutment against it, makes it possible to mount more simply a conductor to several connection systems of this type, on a support piece as illustrated in FIG. 6.

En effet, si le conducteur 1 comporte plusieurs systèmes de raccordement tels que décrits précédemment, permettant de l'accrocher sur plusieurs goujons 3 d'une pièce de support 2, cette course déterminée de déplacement axial de l'écrou par rapport à l'entretoise, permet dans un premier temps, de mettre en place le conducteur 1 contre la pièce de support, sans être gêné par la présence des écrous 5, dans la mesure où ceux-ci se placent dans leur position de montage éloignée du conducteur, en étant repoussés par les goujons, puis dans un second temps, de serrer ceux-ci l'un à la suite de l'autre.Indeed, if the conductor 1 comprises several connection systems as described above, for hanging on several studs 3 of a support part 2, this determined axial displacement of the nut relative to the spacer allows, in a first step, to place the conductor 1 against the support piece, without being hindered by the presence of the nuts 5, insofar as these are placed in their mounting position remote from the driver, being repulsed by the studs, then in a second time, to tighten them one after the other.

Sur cette figure 6, le système de droite est représenté en position de montage, l'écrou 5 étant repoussé en position de montage par le goujon 3, tandis que le système de gauche est représenté en position de serrage du conducteur et de l'entretoise contre la pièce de support 2.In this figure 6, the right system is shown in the mounting position, the nut 5 being pushed into the mounting position by the stud 3, while the left system is shown in the clamping position of the driver and the spacer against the support piece 2.

Un opérateur peut alors serrer les écrous indépendamment les uns des autres, sans risque de déplacement ou de déformation du conducteur.An operator can then tighten the nuts independently of each other, without risk of movement or deformation of the driver.

Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation encore peuvent être envisagés. Of course, other embodiments may be envisaged.
