Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of power supply of mobile mechanisms such as cranes, cranes, gantries or other movable equipment, guided or not, requiring electrification by means of contact lines consisting of rigid rails and sliding electrical contacts, and relates to a set of such rails for such devices.
  • Rigid rail power supply assemblies for mobile machines are generally in the form of H-section aluminum or copper sections covered with an insulating sheath of thermoplastic material.
  • the rails constituting such an assembly are manufactured in the form of elements of a few meters in length allowing easy handling and transport.
  • each rail is supported at regular intervals by suspension parts and several sets of rails can be juxtaposed to form multipolar assemblies, namely, conventionally, four or five poles, no limitation however being imposed.
  • the rails of the same assembly, and therefore of the same pole, are connected together at their ends by a conductive connecting piece and the junction thus produced is isolated by means of a joint cover. Thanks to such an end-to-end connection, it is possible to produce power lines several hundred meters long, a connection piece that can be used for electrical connection purposes and thus constituting a feed box, the ends a set of rails being isolated, in known manner, by a closure cap.
  • the face intended for shunting the current by sliding contact is provided with a stainless steel track which cooperates with a metallo-graphitic brush forming an integral part of a current collector, mechanically secured to a mobile machine to supply electric power and which is electrically connected to said collector.
  • the constituent sections of these rails are open-sectioned profiles with a roughly H-shaped section and having faces planar outer surfaces, the free ends of these profiles being each provided with a rim facing inwardly of each section thus defined.
  • the longitudinal connection between such rails is achieved by means of connection pieces in the manner of a clamp on the edges and the ends of the wings which are sandwiched.
  • the contact surfaces must be cleared prior to the connection, by brushing, of the layer of insulating alumina, which forms naturally on these surfaces, which must then be covered with contact grease .
  • these contact surfaces are narrow and, because of their arrangement, their inner face being turned towards the inside of the sections of the profile, are difficult to access, so that brushing and greasing in good conditions and good quality are almost impossible. In addition, these brushing and greasing work are long to implement.
  • connection pieces are also necessary to ensure a maintenance between the rails under expansion stresses.
  • connection made of an elastic sheet in which the mechanical and electrical contact is only made by cooperation of concave and convex surfaces, the contact force is provided by the elasticity of the branches and the bridge of the connection.
  • the effort that the connection is able to develop to maintain the alignment of the rail sections in case of bending, twisting or pulling is relatively low, since the connection must be elastic enough to be pushed on top rails and engage in the manner of a snap.
  • the pinch forces of the connection being weak, they are insufficient to cause the deformations of the surfaces intended to favor large contact surfaces.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of rigid rails existing today by proposing a set of rigid rails for power supply devices by mobile power socket, on the one hand, to ensure a perfect electrical connection, as well as a good mechanical joint, while being of a lighter construction.
  • the set of rigid rails for power supply devices by mobile power socket which essentially consists of rigid rails in the form of sections of copper or aluminum H-section cross section covered with an insulating sheath in thermoplastic material, one face of the profiles possibly being provided with a stainless steel track serving as a sliding contact face, and with conductive connection pieces, the junction thus formed being insulated by means of a joint cover, is characterized in that the rigid rails have two lateral connection surfaces of curved shape, which can extend over part or all of the height of the sides of the profiles and symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rigid rails, and that the connecting pieces have an inner section corresponding to that of the curved shape of the lateral connection surfaces of the rigid rails s and are each in the form of two interlocking elements one on the other and each having a wing curved correspondingly to that of the curved form of the lateral connection surfaces of the rigid rails, wing whose thickness decreases from the zone intended for tightening up to the free end of the
  • FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a set of rigid rails for power supply devices by mobile power supply, which essentially consists of rigid rails 1 in the form of H-section aluminum sections covered with an insulating sheath. thermoplastic material (not shown), the lower section being provided at the core of the profile, a stainless steel track 2 serving as a sliding contact face, and by conductive connection pieces 3, the junction and realized being isolated by means of a joint cover, not shown.
  • insulating sheaths and other elements commonly used with such assemblies being deliberately suppressed.
  • the rigid rails 1 have two curved shaped lateral connection surfaces 4, symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rigid rails 1, and the connecting pieces 3 have an internal section corresponding to that of the lateral surfaces. of curved connection 4 of the rigid rails 1.
  • Such an embodiment of the curved shaped lateral connection surfaces 4 makes it possible to obtain large easily accessible electrical connection surfaces for their brushing in order to eliminate the alumina film and for easy application of contact grease.
  • the connecting pieces 3 are provided with an internal means 5 lateral abutment for the edges of the wings of the section of the H-shaped profile comprising the side surfaces of
  • This internal stop means 5 opposes the deformation of the flanges of the section of the H-section under the pressure exerted by the connecting piece 3 and thus mitigates a possible insufficiency of stiffness of the said elements. wings.
  • each connecting piece 3 is advantageously in the form of two elements 3 'and 3 "nestable one on the other and each having a wing curved correspondingly to that of the side surfaces.
  • these elements 3 'and 3 being interconnected by clamping by means of screws 6 passing through the interlocking parts of the two elements 3' and 3" and cooperating with threads provided on the internal lateral stop means 5 for the edges of the flanges of the section of the H-shaped section comprising the curved-shaped connection side surfaces 4.
  • each connecting piece 3 ensures a perfect alignment of two rigid rails 1 consecutive, both in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction, the curved shapes of the parts in contact having a natural tendency to achieve vertical alignment and cooperation of the connecting piece 3 with the ends ensuring the longitudinal alignment.
  • each connecting piece 3 have, preferably, each a curved wing, whose thickness decreases from the zone intended for tightening up to the free end of the wing and whose inner radius of curvature is slightly smaller than the outer radius of curvature of the curved shape of the lateral connection surfaces 4 of the rigid rails 1.
  • the wings of said connecting piece are slightly deformed under the effect of the tightening and fully embrace , by their internal face, the external surface of the curved shaped lateral connection surfaces 4 of said rigid rails 1, the deformation and the bringing into contact progressively taking place during the clamping of the connection piece 3.
  • the electrical and mechanical connection is optimally ensured and, as a result, the connecting pieces 3 can be made relatively short while allowing a large contact area. As a result, the current density on the contact faces as well as the electrical resistance are reduced. As a corollary the joint covers and the corresponding power boxes can also be reduced in length.
  • FIG. 3 of the appended drawings shows another embodiment of the connection pieces 3, in which each is constituted by two symmetrical elements 31 each having a correspondingly shaped wing to that of the lateral shape connection surfaces.
  • connection pieces 3 is particularly advantageous, since there is no risk of interference with the upper wall of said section for the assembly means, the latter being clamped in a plane parallel to the plane of this upper wall.
  • the connecting piece 3 can be complemented by one or more spacers 34 to be inserted between the edges of the corresponding walls of the profiles, in front of the inner walls of the curved flanges of the symmetrical elements 31.
  • spacers may be independent of the symmetrical elements 31 and be put in place before mounting the connection pieces 3 thus constituted.
  • each connecting piece 3 may advantageously be provided at its two ends, on the inner face of at least one wing, of at least a lug 7 intended to cooperate with a recess 7 'of corresponding shape provided at each end of at least one curved shaped lateral connection surface 4 of each rail 1.
  • the recesses 7' are preferably arranged alternately on the ends of the curved shaped lateral connection surfaces 4 of each rail 1 and the lugs 7 are also alternately arranged on the connection piece 3, namely, each element 3 'and 3 "constituting the connecting piece 3 is provided with a lug 7, said lugs being provided at the opposite ends of the connecting piece 3.
  • Such lugs 7, cooperating with recesses 7 ', make it possible to provide a complementary mechanical connection between the ends of the rigid rails 1 and the connection piece 3 preventing any relative movement between said rails and the connecting piece 3, in the position of service.
  • Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous because it ensures in a certain manner the assembly of the assembly even in case of large expansions, the axial tensile stresses being entirely transferred from one rigid rail 1 to the other by connecting parts 3.
  • the rails 1 may have different wall thicknesses while maintaining the same shape and size in their end areas for connection, so that only one type of connection piece can be used for different rail model.
  • connection pieces unlike the similar current capacity connection pieces used to date, so that the insulating parts of the joint cover and feed box can also be shorter and therefore lower cost.
