Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a watertight connector for cables.
  • the dimension of the ground cavities have been miniaturized to adapt to the dimensions of the sources.
  • the miniaturized led lighting appliances which must guarantee a high protection degree (IP) are supplied with an outgoing cable.
  • IP protection degree
  • both the supply cable and the relaunch cable for the cascade-assembled product should be taken into account. Due to the extremely limited spaces, it is not even possible to use resinated boxes or boxes with gels, which are currently available on the market.
  • this type of connection is effected with the use of self-agglomerating tape or by producing a derivation well for collecting the cables.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a watertight connector for cables which solves the above-mentioned technical drawbacks.
  • An other objective of the present invention is to provide a watertight connector for cables having a high protection degree.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a watertight connector for cables which is particularly simple and practical at low costs.
  • a watertight connector for cables is shown, indicated on the whole as 10, comprising a casing 12, a connection clamp between single conductors 13, a tightening ring nut 14, a sealing element made of a rubber material 15 and a seat ring 16, or washer, which can be positioned between the ring nut and the sealing element.
  • the casing 12 preferably made of a plastic material, has a substantially tubular form, cylindrical in the example, and is closed at the bottom.
  • the casing 12 is internally threaded for its coupling with the tightening ring nut 14 which has a threaded portion 17 and a hexagonal head 18.
  • the tightening ring nut 14 can be, for example, a cable- clip of the known type, made of a metallic material.
  • the rubber sealing element 15, shown in figure 1 is provided with three housings 19, or channels, in each of which single conductors 11 are inserted during use, as schematically shown in figure 3.
  • the housings 19 are closed by a wall having a reduced thickness 20, which is perforated or sheared during the laying operations by the installer for the passage of the single conductors 11.
  • Figure 2 shows the elements described sectioned according to a median plane.
  • the sealing element is sectioned according to a track passing along an axis of one of the housings 19.
  • the housings 19 have a truncated-conical form and the walls 20 for closing the same protrude with respect to the rubber sealing element 15.
  • the wall 20, in this embodiment, can be easily sheared from the outside of the sealing element 15, for example by means of common shears for electric installations.
  • the casing 12 internally has a reduced section 21 suitable for contributing to the deformation of the rubber sealing element 15, when compressed through the tightening ring nut 14, according to what is schematically shown in figure 3.
  • the sealing element 15, thus deformed, guarantees the seal of the outer surface of the single conductors 11 inserted in the housings 19, suitably perforated.
  • the end portions of the single conductors 11, unsheathed, are put into electrical contact with each other by means of the clamp 13, which in figure 3 is shown with a grain 22 in a non-clamped position and which could be selected from other types of known clamps, for example with several grains.
  • FIG. 10 A further embodiment 10' of a watertight connector for cables, according to the present invention, is shown in figure 4.
  • a casing 12' is substantially tubular and at both ends has a sealing element 15' and the tightening ring nut 14.
  • the clamp 13, not shown, is arranged in an intermediate position between the two rubber sealing elements 15' and forms the electric connection between the cables 11 coming from both ends of the casing 12'.
  • the sealing element 15' comprises, at one end, a cylindrical extending portion 23 suitable for being engaged inside the tightening ring nut 14 to provide further insulation between the outer sheath of the cables and the metallic tightening ring nut 14.
  • sealing element 15' shown in figure 4, is suitable for providing a seal at the most on two single conductors 11, as it has two housings 19.
  • Watertight connectors for cables 10, according to the present invention can be equipped with rubber sealing elements have any number of housings in relation to the number of single conductors to be electrically connected.
  • the watertight connector for cables object of the present invention, has the advantage of producing "cascade wiring" without the necessity of producing a derivation well and guaranteeing a high protection degree to the connection obtained by the user as it is not effected manually.
  • the protection degree (IP) is in fact advantageously guaranteed by the clamping on the part of the rubber sealing element tightened by a rung nut, or a wire-clip.
  • a further advantage of the watertight connector for cables according to the present invention is that it can be used with different types of cables, either multipolar or unipolar.
