Description

La présente invention concerne un collecteur terre-neutre selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a ground-neutral collector according to the preamble of claim 1.

La connexion électrique entre la terre et le neutre dans les installations dans lesquelles le neutre n'est pas coupé est réalisé par l'installateur au moyen d'un câble.The electrical connection between the earth and the neutral in installations in which the neutral is not cut is made by the installer by means of a cable.

Lors de la vérification de l'installation électrique, et notamment pour tester la terre, ce câble est débranché. Un oubli de rebrancher ce câble est possible, ce qui met l'installation en surtension et provoque la destruction des appareils situés en aval.When checking the electrical installation, especially for testing the earth, this cable is disconnected. An omission to reconnect this cable is possible, which puts the installation in surge and causes the destruction of downstream devices.

On connaît également le document EP 1 113 525 décrivant des dispositifs de raccordement destinés à relier électriquement deux dispositifs disposés l'un à côté de l'autre le long d'un rail de montage.The document is also known EP 1 113 525 describing connection devices for electrically connecting two devices arranged next to one another along a mounting rail.

La présente invention résout ces problèmes et propose collecteur terre-neutre comportant un dispositif de raccordement électrique entre un collecteur de terre et un collecteur de neutre de conception simple permettant de signaler le non raccordement électrique des deux collecteurs et un collecteur terre-neutre équipé de ce dispositif.The present invention solves these problems and proposes a ground-neutral collector comprising an electrical connection device between a ground collector and a neutral collector of simple design making it possible to signal the non-electrical connection of the two collectors and a ground-neutral collector equipped with this device.

But other advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent in the detailed description which follows and refers to the accompanying drawings given solely by way of example and in which:
  • The figure 1 is a partial perspective view of a ground-neutral collector according to the invention comprising a connection device according to the invention, in an unconnected position of the device,

Sur les figures 1 et 2, est représenté un collecteur terre-neutre C comportant une partie dite collecteur de terre 1 et une partie dite collecteur de neutre 2. Ce collecteur C est composé de blocs de connexion 3 sous forme modulaire montés sur un rail de montage (non représenté) par l'intermédiaire d'une interface de montage 4. Comme ceci est particulièrement visible sur les figures 5 et 6, la partie supérieure des blocs de connexion comportent des bornes à vis 5 (fig.5) associées à des plages autorisant l'embrochage de manière à permettre l'alimentation des blocs de connexion au moyen d'un peigne P. Ainsi, comme représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, les blocs de connexion 7 situés du côté gauche sont alimentés et reliés électriquement par un peigne 8 distribuant le neutre et les blocs de connexion 9 situés du côté droit sont alimentés par un peigne 10 relié à la terre. La partie centrale des blocs de connexion est constituée par des bornes de type sans vis 11. Ainsi, le collecteur de terre 1 comporte trois blocs de connexion 7 comportant chacun deux bornes de connexion de sortie 12,13 et deux bornes d'entrée 14,15 (fig.6), un bloc de connexion dit d'extrémité 16 comportant deux bornes d'entrée (non visibles) et une seule borne de connexion de sortie 19 de grande section, et un bloc de connexion de liaison 20 comportant quatre bornes de connexion d'entrée 21, 21a, 22,22a et une borne de connexion de sortie 23 de très grande section. Le collecteur de neutre 2 comprend les mêmes éléments et ne seront donc pas décrits de nouveau.On the Figures 1 and 2 , there is shown a earth-neutral collector C comprising a so-called earth collector portion 1 and a so-called neutral collector portion 2. This collector C is composed of connection blocks 3 in modular form mounted on a mounting rail (not shown) by via a mounting interface. 4. As this is particularly visible on the Figures 5 and 6 , the upper part of the connection blocks comprise screw terminals 5 ( fig.5 ) associated with ranges allowing racking so as to allow the power supply of the connection blocks by means of a comb P. Thus, as shown in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 , the connection blocks 7 located on the left side are powered and electrically connected by a comb 8 distributing the neutral and the connecting blocks 9 located on the right side are fed by a comb 10 connected to the ground. The central part of the connection blocks consists of screwless type terminals 11. Thus, the earth collector 1 comprises three connection blocks 7 each comprising two output connection terminals 12, 13 and two input terminals 14, 15 ( fig.6 ), an end-end connection block 16 comprising two input terminals (not visible) and a single output connection terminal 19 of large section, and a connection connection block 20 having four input connection terminals 21, 21a, 22, 22a and an output connection terminal 23 of very large section. The neutral collector 2 includes the same elements and will therefore not be described again.

Conformément à l'invention, le dispositif de raccordement selon l'invention comporte un accessoire de raccordement 24 comportant une partie fixe 25 destinée à être fixée sur ladite interface 4 et une partie mobile 26 par rapport à ladite partie fixe 25. Cette partie mobile 26 peut être déplacée en translation perpendiculairement à l'axe du rail.According to the invention, the connection device according to the invention comprises a connection accessory 24 comprising a fixed part 25 intended to be fixed on said interface 4 and a mobile part 26 with respect to said fixed part 25. This mobile part 26 can be moved in translation perpendicular to the axis of the rail.

En se reportant plus particulièrement aux figures 3 et 4, on voit que ladite partie mobile 26 comporte une portion de peigne dite double. Cette portion de peigne comporte deux barres 29,30 comportant chacune deux dents 31,32,33,34 s'étendant de part et d'autre de la partie fixe 25. Cette partie mobile 26 est montée coulissante à l'intérieur de la partie fixe 25. En position haute ou d'ouverture illustrée sur la figure 1, la connexion électrique entre les deux collecteurs 1,2 est interrompue. Un indicateur sous la forme d'un voyant 35 peut indiquer cet état. En position basse ou de fermeture de l'accessoire 24, la connexion est établie entre les deux peignes 1,2 par introduction des dents 31,32,33,34 de l'accessoire 24 dans les bornes 22,22a,36,36a des blocs de liaison 20, 38 situés de part et d'autre de l'accessoire 24. Ainsi, les deux dents 31,33 de l'accessoire 24 situées d'un côté de l'accessoire 24 sont introduites dans les deux bornes d'entrée 22,22a du bloc de connexion de liaison 20 situé de ce même côté, tandis que les deux dents 32,34 de l'accessoire 24 situées de l'autre côté de l'accessoire 24 sont introduites dans les deux bornes d'entrée 36,36a du bloc de connexion de liaison 38 situé de ce même côté que les dents 32,34. Les quatre autre bornes 21,21a,37,37a sont raccordées électriquement aux deux peignes 8,10.With particular reference to Figures 3 and 4 it can be seen that said movable part 26 comprises a so-called double comb portion. This comb portion comprises two bars 29,30 each having two teeth 31,32,33,34 extending on either side of the fixed portion 25. This movable portion 26 is slidably mounted within the portion 25. In the up or opening position illustrated on the figure 1 , the electrical connection between the two collectors 1,2 is interrupted. An indicator in the form of an indicator 35 may indicate this state. In the low or closing position of the accessory 24, the connection is established between the two combs 1,2 by introducing the teeth 31,32,33,34 of the accessory 24 into the terminals 22,22a, 36,36a of the connecting blocks 20, 38 located on either side of the accessory 24. Thus, the two teeth 31,33 of the accessory 24 located on one side of the accessory 24 are introduced into the two terminals of 22,22a input of the connecting connection block 20 located on the same side, while the two teeth 32,34 of the accessory 24 located on the other side of the accessory 24 are introduced into the two input terminals 36,36a of the connecting connection block 38 located on the same side as the teeth 32,34. The other four terminals 21, 21a, 37, 37a are electrically connected to the two combs 8, 10.

Sur les figures 5,6 et 7, les blocs de connexion 7 sont montés sur une interface de montage 4 de section transversale en forme d'équerre. Cette interface comporte des glissières de guidage 39 de l'embase 40 des blocs de connexion 7 et des moyens d'accrochage 41 (fig.7) des blocs de connexion sur ladite interface 4. Les empruntes ou glissières 39 sont espacées les unes des autres d'une distance correspondant à la distance séparant deux dents de peigne consécutives.On the figures 5,6 and 7 , the connection blocks 7 are mounted on a mounting interface 4 of cross section in the form of a square. This interface comprises guiding slides 39 of the base 40 of the connection blocks 7 and the attachment means 41 ( fig.7 ) connection blocks on said interface 4. The borrows or slides 39 are spaced from each other by a distance corresponding to the distance separating two consecutive comb teeth.

Selon une réalisation illustrée sur les figures 8 à 11 mais qui ne fait partie de l'invention, l'interface 41 est fixée sur un rail, s'étend de part et d'autre du rail et comporte une cloison de maintien 42 assurant la séparation entre deux blocs de connexion 44,45 disposés sur cette interface 41 de part et d'autre de cette cloison 42, un cavalier de liaison 46 permettant de raccorder électriquement les deux blocs 44,45.According to an illustrated embodiment on the Figures 8 to 11 but which does not form part of the invention, the interface 41 is fixed on a rail, extends on both sides of the rail and comprises a holding wall 42 ensuring the separation between two connection blocks 44, 45 arranged on this interface 41 on either side of this partition 42, a link jumper 46 for electrically connecting the two blocks 44,45.

Selon une réalisation non illustrée sur les figures, l'interface pourra coopérer avec l'accessoire et la porte du tableau de manière à interdire la fermeture de la porte du tableau en position d'ouverture de l'accessoire.According to an embodiment not shown in the figures, the interface may cooperate with the accessory and the door of the board so as to prohibit the closing of the door of the table in the open position of the accessory.

On a donc réalisé grâce à l'invention un dispositif de raccordement électrique d'un collecteur de terre et d'un collecteur de neutre, ainsi qu'un collecteur terre-neutre équipé de ce dispositif permettant de prévenir rapidement l'installateur du non raccordement des deux peignes.A device for the electrical connection of an earth collector and a neutral collector has thus been realized thanks to the invention, as well as a ground-neutral collector equipped with this device making it possible to quickly warn the installer of the non-connection. of the two combs.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given by way of example.
