Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des appareillages électriques, en particulier des interrupteurs modulaires destinés à être montés dans des goulottes de distribution électrique ou dans des boîtes d'encastrement, et a pour objet un tel interrupteur modulaire.The present invention relates to the field of electrical equipment, in particular modular switches intended to be mounted in electrical distribution trunking or in recess boxes, and has for object such a modular switch.

Les interrupteurs modulaires de ce type existant actuellement se présentent généralement sous forme d'appareillages pourvus d'un mécanisme de section carrée ou rectangulaire montés par clipage dans un support sous une plaque d'habillage de section correspondant à celle d'un module et comportant un actionneur de commande dudit mécanisme. Par les termes éléments modulaires sont désignés des éléments destinés à être montés dans des supports de section prédéfinie, le montage étant effectué suivant n'importe quelle orientation. Ces interrupteurs modulaires permettent de répondre correctement aux besoins habituels des utilisateurs lorsqu'ils sont mis en oeuvre sous forme de modules complets, c'est-à-dire leur mécanisme étant relié à une plaque d'habillage modulaire.Modular switches of this type currently existing are generally in the form of equipment provided with a mechanism of square or rectangular section clipped into a support under a trim plate corresponding to that of a module and having a control actuator of said mechanism. By the term modular elements are designated elements intended to be mounted in supports of predefined section, the mounting being carried out in any orientation. These modular switches allow to properly meet the usual needs of users when they are implemented in the form of complete modules, that is to say their mechanism being connected to a modular trim plate.

Cependant, la tendance actuelle consiste à mettre en oeuvre, en grand nombre, des interrupteurs modulaires dédiés, dont la largeur apparente, c'est-à-dire celle de l'habillage, correspond à un demi-module. Il en résulte que chaque interrupteur modulaire doit être muni d'un mécanisme complet, ce qui entraîne un problème de largeur dudit mécanisme. En effet, pour des raisons de montage de l'appareillage dans une goulotte ou dans une boîte d'encastrement, le mécanisme présente des dimensions réduites par rapport à la plaque d'habillage, du fait de la présence de ses pattes de fixation élastique, de sorte qu'une réalisation par demi-module, qui entraîne les mêmes réductions dimensionnelles, nécessite une construction très compacte du mécanisme.However, the current trend is to implement, in large numbers, dedicated modular switches, the apparent width, that is to say, the dressing, corresponds to a half-module. As a result, each modular switch must be provided with a complete mechanism, which causes a problem of width of said mechanism. Indeed, for reasons of mounting the apparatus in a chute or in a flush-mounting box, the mechanism has reduced dimensions relative to the trim plate, due to the presence of its elastic fastening tabs, so that a realization by half-module, which causes the same dimensional reductions, requires a very compact construction of the mechanism.

Or, les mécanismes actuels sont tous pourvus réglementairement de trois connexions, dont les bornes nécessitent un encombrement minimal incompressible. Ce problème se pose de manière accrue en présence de bornes à connexion rapide, dont l'encombrement est déterminé par les dimensions normalisées des orifices d'introduction des fils dans les bornes de connexion.However, the current mechanisms are all provisionally provided with three connections, the terminals require a minimal encumbrance minimal. This problem arises in an increased manner in the presence of quick-connect terminals, the size of which is determined by the standardized dimensions of the orifices for introducing the wires into the connection terminals.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un interrupteur modulaire pouvant être intégré dans une goulotte ou dans une boîte d'encastrement, tout en satisfaisant aux normes en vigueur.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a modular switch that can be integrated into a chute or in a flush-mounting box, while meeting the standards in force.

A cet effet, l'interrupteur modulaire conforme à l'invention, qui est essentiellement constitué par une plaque d'habillage munie d'un actionneur et par un mécanisme pourvu de bornes à connexion rapide, est caractérisé en ce qu'une des bornes à connexion rapide du mécanisme est disposée sur ce dernier avec un déport vers la partie centrale du mécanisme par rapport aux extrémités de ce dernier et avec un chevauchement en largeur de cette borne déportée avec les deux autres bornes prévues chacune à une extrémité du mécanisme 3.For this purpose, the modular switch according to the invention, which essentially consists of a cover plate provided with an actuator and a mechanism provided with quick-connect terminals, is characterized in that one of the terminals to rapid connection of the mechanism is arranged on the latter with an offset towards the central part of the mechanism relative to the ends of the latter and with an overlap in width of this remote terminal with the two other terminals each provided at one end of the mechanism 3.

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 au dessin schématique annexé, dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective par le bas d'un interrupteur modulaire conforme à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective par dessous de l'interrupteur avec le mécanisme ouvert ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en élévation latérale et en coupe de l'interrupteur au niveau de la borne de connexion déportée, et
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective du contact de la borne de connexion déportée et de son moyen d'actionnement.
The invention will be better understood, thanks to the following description, which relates to a preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, and explained with reference to the appended schematic drawing, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view from below of a modular switch according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view from below of the switch with the open mechanism;
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevational sectional view of the switch at the remote connection terminal, and
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the contact of the remote connection terminal and its actuating means.

La figure 1 des dessins annexés représente un interrupteur modulaire, qui est essentiellement constitué par une plaque d'habillage 1 munie d'un actionneur 2 et par un mécanisme 3 pourvu de bornes 4 à 6 à connexion rapide, dont le moyen de blocage des conducteurs est actionné par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif d'actionnement à levier 4' à 6' ou dispositif d'actionnement analogue.Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a modular switch, which consists essentially of a cover plate 1 provided with an actuator 2 and a mechanism 3 provided with terminals 4 to 6 with quick connection, the means for blocking conductors is actuated via a lever actuating device 4 'to 6' or similar actuating device.

Conformément à l'invention et comme le montrent plus particulièrement les figures 1 et 2 des dessins annexés, une des bornes à connexion rapide 5, du mécanisme 3 est disposée sur ce dernier avec un déport vers la partie centrale du mécanisme 3 par rapport aux extrémités de ce dernier et avec un chevauchement en largeur de cette borne déportée 5 avec les deux autres bornes 4 et 6 prévues chacune à une extrémité du mécanisme 3. Ainsi, comme il ressort des dessins susvisés, la borne 5 est déplacée sensiblement entre les bornes 4 et 6 et est décalée dans le sens de la largeur du mécanisme 3 en chevauchant partiellement l'encombrement en largeur des bornes 4 et 6. Ce mode de réalisation permet donc d'obtenir un encombrement total en largeur des bornes 4 à 6 qui est inférieur à la somme de l'encombrement de deux bornes individuelles 4 et 5 ou 5 et 6, de sorte que le mécanisme 3 peut présenter une largeur inférieure à celle qu'il aurait si deux bornes étaient disposées côte-à-côte à une extrémité.According to the invention and as shown more particularly in Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, one of the quick-connect terminals 5, the mechanism 3 is disposed on the latter with an offset to the central portion of the mechanism 3 relative to the ends of the latter and with an overlap in width of this remote terminal 5 with the other two terminals 4 and 6 each provided at one end of the mechanism 3. Thus, as shown in the above drawings, the terminal 5 is moved substantially between the terminals 4 and 6 and is shifted in the direction of the width of the mechanism 3 partially overlapping the space requirement. terminal width 4 and 6. This embodiment therefore provides a total overall width of the terminals 4 to 6 which is less than the sum of the size of two individual terminals 4 and 5 or 5 and 6, so that the mechanism 3 may have a width less than it would have if two terminals were arranged side by side at one end.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, et comme le montrent les figures 2 à 4 des dessins annexés, le dispositif 5' d'actionnement du moyen de blocage du conducteur serré dans la borne à connexion rapide 5 déportée agit sur ledit moyen de blocage par l'intermédiaire d'un élément 7 de transfert de mouvement, guidé dans le mécanisme 3, s'appuyant par une extrémité sur le moyen de blocage du conducteur de la borne 5 et en contact par l'extrémité opposée avec le dispositif d'actionnement 5'. Ainsi, pour réaliser un déblocage d'un conducteur serré dans la borne 5, il suffit d'appuyer sur le dispositif 5' de manière à déplacer l'élément 7 de transfert de mouvement qui effectue alors l'actionnement du moyen de blocage dans le sens du déblocage.According to one characteristic of the invention, and as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 of the accompanying drawings, the device 5 'for actuating the clamping means of the conductor clamped in the remote quick-connect terminal 5 acts on said blocking means by via a movement transfer element 7, guided in the mechanism 3, supported by one end on the locking means of the conductor of the terminal 5 and in contact by the opposite end with the actuating device 5 '. Thus, to achieve a release of a tight conductor in the terminal 5, it suffices to press the device 5 'so as to move the element 7 of transfer of motion which then carries out the actuation of the locking means in the sense of unlocking.

Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de réaliser des interrupteurs modulaires d'une largeur égale à un demi-module, à monter dans des goulottes ou dans des boîtes d'encastrement et s'adaptant facilement à un tel montage, leur mécanisme présentant une largeur réduite de manière optimale du fait du déplacement ou déport de l'une des bornes de connexion dans un espace situé entre deux bornes de connexion placées près des extrémités, ladite borne déportée étant partiellement en chevauchement avec les deux autres bornes dans l'espace intermédiaire entre celles-ci.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to produce modular switches with a width equal to half a module, to be mounted in trunking or in mounting boxes and easily adapting to such a mounting, their mechanism having an optimally reduced width due to the displacement or offset of one of the connection terminals in a space between two connection terminals placed near the ends, said remote terminal being partially overlapping with the two other terminals in the space intermediate between them.

L'élément de transfert de mouvement interposé entre l'actionneur 5' et le moyen de blocage du conducteur de la borne elle-même permettant l'actionnement de ce moyen de manière usuelle par l'intermédiaire du dispositif 5' monté sur l'extrémité du mécanisme, ce sans entraver le déport de la borne 5 elle-même.The motion transfer element interposed between the actuator 5 'and the terminal blocking means of the terminal itself allowing the actuation of this means in the usual manner via the device 5' mounted on the end the mechanism, without hindering the offset of the terminal 5 itself.

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.
