Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des appareillages électriques, en particulier des interrupteurs et prises de courant pourvus de bornes de connexion rapide et a pour objet une borne de connexion rapide pour de tels interrupteurs et prises de courant.The present invention relates to the field of electrical equipment, in particular switches and sockets provided with fast connection terminals and relates to a quick connection terminal for such switches and sockets.

Les bornes de connexion rapide existant actuellement et équipant les interrupteurs et les prises de courant se présentent généralement sous forme d'éléments dédiés spécifiquement à l'appareillage et sont pourvus chacun d'un actionneur spécifique de déblocage du conducteur électrique maintenu serré dans lesdites bornes de connexion rapide par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de blocage élastiquement déformable logé dans une cage formant simultanément l'élément conducteur électrique de ladite borne.The fast connection terminals currently existing and fitted to the switches and sockets are generally in the form of elements specifically dedicated to the switchgear and each provided with a specific electric conductor release actuator held tightly in said terminals. fast connection via an elastically deformable locking device housed in a cage simultaneously forming the electrical conductive element of said terminal.

Les dispositifs de blocage élastiquement déformable utilisés généralement se présentent sous forme de lames de ressort repliées sensiblement hélicoïdalement, de manière à présenter au moins une surface d'application du fil conducteur contre une paroi de la borne de connexion, cette surface d'application pouvant être partiellement soulevée de la paroi correspondante par une action de pression sur un prolongement de ladite surface s'étendant suivant un angle aigu par rapport à celle-ci. Ces dispositifs de blocage sont commandés chacun par l'intermédiaire d'un actionneur spécifique de déblocage généralement monté sur le mécanisme de l'appareillage ainsi équipé, à proximité des bornes de connexion.The elastically deformable locking devices generally used are in the form of spring blades folded substantially helically, so as to have at least one application surface of the conductive wire against a wall of the connection terminal, this application surface can be partially raised from the corresponding wall by a pressing action on an extension of said surface extending at an acute angle thereto. These blocking devices are each controlled by means of a specific unlocking actuator generally mounted on the mechanism of the equipment thus equipped, near the connection terminals.

Ainsi, par action sur l'extrémité libre de la partie de prolongement, qui peut elle-même s'appuyer sur un élément sensiblement symétrique à extrémité recourbée vers la surface d'application et prolongeant celle-ci du côté opposé à la partie actionnée, la surface d'application se déforme jusqu'à ne plus appuyer sur le conducteur que sur une très faible surface, de sorte que la pression d'application est fortement réduite et que le retrait du conducteur est facilité. Il est connu, pour favoriser le serrage de l'extrémité du conducteur dans la borne, de munir la surface d'application du dispositif de blocage élastiquement déformable de crans ou analogues s'opposant à une extraction du conducteur, en position de service.Thus, by action on the free end of the extension portion, which may itself rely on a substantially symmetrical end element curved towards the application surface and extending it on the opposite side to the actuated part, the application surface is deformed until it is pressed against the driver only on a very small surface, so that the application pressure is greatly reduced and the removal of the conductor is facilitated. It is known, to promote the tightening of the end of the conductor in the terminal, to provide the application surface of the elastically deformable locking device notches or the like opposing extraction of the conductor, in the operating position.

Ces dispositifs connus sont généralement fiables et remplissent correctement leur rôle.These known devices are generally reliable and fulfill their role correctly.

Cependant, pour les différentes bornes de connexion existantes actuellement et en fonction des appareillages les mettant en oeuvre, il est quasiment prévu à chaque fois un actionneur spécifique de déblocage du conducteur électrique, de sorte que le prix de revient des appareillages ainsi équipés est fortement grevé.However, for the various connection terminals currently existing and depending on the equipment implementing them, it is almost provided each time a specific actuator for unblocking the electrical conductor, so that the cost of the equipment thus equipped is heavily encumbered. .

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant une borne de connexion rapide pour interrupteurs et prises de courant pouvant être mise en oeuvre de manière universelle pour un actionnement simplifié desdites bornes, tout en étant d'un faible prix de revient.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a quick connection terminal for switches and sockets can be implemented universally for a simplified operation of said terminals, while being of low cost.

A cet effet, la borne de connexion rapide pour interrupteurs et prises de courant, qui est constituée par une lame de ressort et par une cage conductrice de logement de ladite lame de ressort, est caractérisée en ce qu'elle se présente sous forme d'un sous-ensemble de connexion pourvu, en outre, d'un bouton d'actionnement de la lame de ressort, intégré à la cage.For this purpose, the fast connection terminal for switches and sockets, which is constituted by a leaf spring and a conductive housing housing said leaf spring, is characterized in that it is in the form of a connection subassembly further provided with an actuating button of the leaf spring integrated in the cage.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale et en coupe d'un sous-ensemble conforme à l'invention ;
  • les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues partielles en perspective représentant l'adaptation du sous-ensemble conforme à l'invention à deux types de contact équipant les prises de courant ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue analogue à celle des figures 2 et 3 représentant l'adaptation du sous-ensemble à un contact femelle d'une prise, et
  • les figures 5 et 6 représentent deux variantes de réalisation d'interrupteurs munis de sous-ensembles conforme à l'invention.
The invention will be better understood, thanks to the following description, which refers to a preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, and explained with reference to the attached schematic drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a side elevational view in section of a subassembly according to the invention;
  • Figures 2 and 3 are partial perspective views showing the adaptation of the subassembly according to the invention to two types of contact equipping power outlets;
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of FIGS. 2 and 3 showing the adaptation of the subassembly to a female contact of a socket, and
  • Figures 5 and 6 show two alternative embodiments of switches provided with subassemblies according to the invention.

La figure 1 des dessins annexés représente une borne de connexion rapide pour interrupteurs et prises de courant, qui est constituée par une lame de ressort 1 et par une cage conductrice 2 de logement de ladite lame de ressort 1.FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a fast connection terminal for switches and sockets, which consists of a leaf spring 1 and a conductive cage 2 housing said leaf spring 1.

Conformément à l'invention, cette borne de connexion rapide se présente sous forme d'un sous-ensemble de connexion pourvu, en outre, d'un bouton 3 d'actionnement de la lame de ressort 1, intégré à la cage 2. Ainsi, il est possible par simple appui sur le bouton 3 d'actionner directement la lame de ressort 1, ce quel que soit le positionnement de la cage 2 de réception de la lame de ressort 1 et du bouton 3.According to the invention, this fast connection terminal is in the form of a connection subassembly provided, in addition, a button 3 for actuating the leaf spring 1, integrated in the cage 2. Thus, it is possible simply by pressing the button 3 to directly actuate the leaf spring 1, whatever the positioning of the cage 2 for receiving the leaf spring 1 and the button 3.

De préférence, le bouton d'actionnement 3 se présente sous forme d'un élément longiligne recourbé, traversant une ouverture 2' de la cage 2, réalisé en une matière élastiquement déformable et guidé à une de ses extrémités dans un logement 2" de la cage 2, son extrémité opposée s'appuyant par sa face interne sur une extrémité de la lame de ressort 1 et étant pourvue sur sa face externe d'un appendice 3' de retenue contre le bord de l'ouverture 2' de passage correspondante de la cage 2. Ainsi, le bouton 3 est parfaitement maintenu dans la cage 2.Preferably, the actuating button 3 is in the form of an elongated curved element, passing through an opening 2 'of the cage 2, made of an elastically deformable material and guided at one of its ends in a housing 2 "of the cage 2, its opposite end resting on its inner face on one end of the leaf spring 1 and being provided on its outer face with a retaining appendage 3 'against the edge of the opening 2' corresponding passage of the cage 2. Thus, the button 3 is perfectly maintained in the cage 2.

Les figures 2 à 6 des dessins annexés représentent diverses variantes de montage possible du sous-ensemble conforme à l'invention pour l'équipement de prise de courant (figures 2 à 4) ou d'interrupteurs (figures 5 et 6). A cet effet, la figure 2 représente un dispositif de prise de terre 4 à lames diamétralement opposées et reliées entre-elles, le conducteur de prise de terre 4 étant relié par soudage, sertissage ou autre à la cage 2 du sous-ensemble conforme à l'invention, dont le bouton d'actionnement 3 peut traverser la partie de liaison des lames. Pour la connexion et la déconnexion du conducteur de prise de terre, il peut ainsi, par simple appui sur le bouton 3, qui se trouve alors à l'intérieur de la prise, être réalisé un actionnement de la lame de ressort 1.Figures 2 to 6 of the accompanying drawings show various alternative mounting of the subassembly according to the invention for the socket equipment (Figures 2 to 4) or switches (Figures 5 and 6). For this purpose, FIG. 2 shows a grounding device 4 with diametrically opposed blades connected to each other, the grounding conductor 4 being connected by welding, crimping or otherwise to the cage 2 of the subassembly conforming to FIG. the invention, the actuating button 3 can pass through the connecting portion of the blades. For connection and disconnection of the earth conductor, it can thus, by simply pressing the button 3, which is then inside the socket, be carried out an actuation of the leaf spring 1.

La figure 3 représente l'adaptation du sous-ensemble selon l'invention à une broche 5 d'une prise de courant. Cette broche 5 peut être une broche de phase ou de neutre ou encore une broche de prise de terre. Dans ce mode de réalisation également, la cage 2 du sous-ensemble est simplement reliée à la broche 5, et le branchement du conducteur s'effectue de manière identique à celle décrite à propos du mode de réalisation suivant la figure 2.Figure 3 shows the adaptation of the subassembly according to the invention to a pin 5 of a socket. This pin 5 may be a phase or neutral pin or a grounding pin. In this embodiment also, the cage 2 of the subassembly is simply connected to the pin 5, and the connection of the conductor is effected in the same manner as described with respect to the embodiment according to FIG. 2.

La figure 4 représente la mise en oeuvre du sous-ensemble conforme à l'invention avec une fiche 6 d'une prise de courant. Dans ce cas, le sous-ensemble selon l'invention peut aussi être intégré simplement aux parties constitutives de la fiche 6 et le branchement d'un conducteur correspondant s'effectue aussi de manière analogue à celle décrite à propos des exemples précédents.Figure 4 shows the implementation of the subassembly according to the invention with a plug 6 of a socket. In this case, the subassembly according to the invention can also be integrated simply to the constituent parts of the plug 6 and the connection of a corresponding conductor is also performed in a similar manner to that described in connection with the previous examples.

Enfin, les figures 5 et 6 représentent l'adaptation de sous-ensembles conformes à l'invention à, d'une part, un interrupteur à impulsion 7 et, d'autre part, un interrupteur modulaire 8 comportant deux demi-modules. Dans ces modes de réalisation, les sous-ensembles constitués par la cage 2 intégrant la lame de ressort et le bouton 3, sont également reliés directement aux contacts des interrupteurs et peuvent aussi être actionnés directement en vue du branchement ou du débranchement des fils conducteurs correspondants.Finally, FIGS. 5 and 6 show the adaptation of subsets according to the invention to, on the one hand, a pulse switch 7 and, on the other hand, a modular switch 8 comprising two half-modules. In these embodiments, the subassemblies constituted by the cage 2 incorporating the leaf spring and the button 3, are also connected directly to the switch contacts and can also be actuated directly for the connection or disconnection of the corresponding lead wires. .

Il est également possible, selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention non représentée aux dessins annexés, de prévoir que le bouton d'actionnement 3 puisse coopérer avec un moyen d'actionnement à distance, par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de transfert de mouvement coopérant lui-même avec un actionneur disposé sur une face externe d'un mécanisme. Un tel mode de réalisation est particulièrement intéressant dans le cas où l'encombrement du mécanisme doit être restreint et/ou une borne de connexion est alors déplacée à une certaine distance des extrémités du mécanisme portant les moyens d'actionnement.It is also possible, according to another characteristic of the invention not shown in the accompanying drawings, to provide that the actuating button 3 can cooperate with a remote actuating means, by means of a transfer device. movement cooperating itself with an actuator disposed on an outer face of a mechanism. Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous in the case where the bulk of the mechanism must be restricted and / or a connection terminal is then moved at a distance from the ends of the mechanism carrying the actuating means.

Grâce à l'invention il est possible de réaliser une borne de connexion rapide se présentant sous forme d'un sous-ensemble intégrant le moyen d'actionnement du dispositif de serrage du conducteur électrique et utilisable de manière universelle, c'est-à-dire adaptable à différents appareillages du type interrupteurs et prises de courant.Thanks to the invention it is possible to realize a fast connection terminal in the form of a subassembly integrating the means for actuating the clamping device of the electrical conductor and universally usable, that is to say adaptable to different devices such as switches and sockets.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
