Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical connection bridge comprising two interconnected pins.
- Said bridge can be a part of a connection block and can provide a bridging with another adjacent connection block, whereby usually the connection bridge is transversal and is incorporated in the first connection block.
- the present invention also relates to a connection block comprising such a connection bridge.
- connection bridges In several electrical applications and devices it is necessary to temporarily establish a bridge between two adjacent connection blocks; usually for this function electrical connection bridges are employed that have a shape similar to a connection plug but with the particular feature that the two pins are connected to each other at their rear end.
- connection pins In traditional electrical connection bridges the connection pins have a general cylindrical shape, obtained from a bar having a round cross section, such that it is necessary to machine with a lathe the periphery of the connection pins in order to produce two peripheral recesses in which expansion or retention springs or grooved barrels (with cuts) are housed.
- connection pins require other machining or handling operations in order to guarantee the connection of the rear ends of the pins.
- the handling and machining that are necessary for obtaining the conductive bridge with the peripheral recesses that house the barrels increases remarkably the overall cost of the conductive bridge; furthermore, a body of insulating material has to be associated to the bridge in order to conform a suitable area for gripping the connection bridge without the risk of an electrical shock.
- connection pins have a flat prismatic shape with rounded ends and two longitudinal recesses for mounting the barrels.
- the pins form a single element obtained by stamping.
- connection bridges are independent from the connection block, and they must be fetched from their storing place when they are needed; they may be stored together with the connection block, but then there is a risk that they get lost.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a connection bridge and a connection block having said bridge incorporated in it such that the bridge is readily available when needed but there is no risk that it gets lost.
- connection bridge comprises two insulating sleeves which respectively surround two interconnected pins, such that one of said sleeves is provided at its front end with at least one flange portion which can be locked in the body of the connection block in order to prevent the exit of said sleeve from that specific housing of the connection block.
- Said sleeves are preferably of substantially cylindrical configuration, whereby the flanged sleeve can rotate in its housing, in order to bring the other sleeve from a rest position to a connecting position of its pin with the adjacent connection block and vice versa, while the flanged sleeve does not come out of the housing in its connection block.
- the other sleeve is not provided with a flange, because its design is compatible with standard plugs for test derivations.
- the flanged sleeve is longer and narrower than the unflanged sleeve; the latter has a universal diameter to be inserted into standard sockets, such that this unflanged sleeve can exit from its housing like any insulating sleeve when the connection bridge is raised, and due to the difference in length, rotate 90 ° to establish the transversal connection.
- said flange portion comprises at least two separate sectors, preferably symmetrical, and in diametrally opposed positions.
- the flange portion is a lug in the shape of a harpoon or the like, which can be inserted into a port but cannot move backwards one introduced, although it can also be foreseen to provide a tongue that is inserted into an annular groove formed at the end of the sleeve.
- the pins have a flat prismatic configuration, with rounded front ends, that can be manufactured by stamping.
- said pins are provided with longitudinal recesses for the mounting and retention of corresponding expansion barrels which facilitate electrical contact with corresponding sockets of the terminals which have to be bridged.
- the pin corresponding to the flanged sleeve is introduced into a connection socket lacking an insulating sheath, such that said sleeve surrounds said socket.
- This socket doesn't need the insulating sheath that is provided in the rest of the sockets, because it is not necessary to provide insulation and because the sleeve has a diameter that is smaller than the diameter necessary to introduce the pin in standard sockets.
- the opening or port where the flanged sleeve remains locked has a smaller diameter than the port of standard sockets, making it impossible, in case of separation, to use standard bridges or plugs with sleeves, and preventing the user from touching the socket.
- connection block with a transversal connection bridge is formed by a connection bridge and a connecting block, in which the flanged sleeve is inserted into a housing of said block, whereby said flange allows the sleeve to rotate and slide, but prevents it from exiting said housing.
- the transversal connection bridge can adopt two stable positions in the connection block, a non-connecting position in which the pin corresponding to the unflanged socket does not establish any electrical connection, and a connecting position in which the pins establish an electrical bridge between the connection block provided with the bridge and another adjacent connection block.
- Figure 1 shows three views of a connection bridge 10: a perspective view (a), a front elevation view (b) and a side elevation view (c).
- connection bridge 10 comprises a U-shaped flat conductive body, which is preferably manufactured by stamping.
- the legs of the U are two pins 16 (see figure 3 ) whose ends 17 are rounded.
- the rear portion 19 of the conductive body, which constitutes the connection between the two pins 16, is covered by an insulating body 14 which can be used for gripping the connection bridge.
- Each pin 16 is provided with an expansion barrel 18 to facilitate the contact of the pin with a socket present in a connection block 20.
- Each pin is arranged inside an insulating sleeve which prevents the user from touching the pin or the barrel, which can be at a high voltage.
- this socket 21 remains housed between the pin 16, with its barrel 18, and the insulating sleeve, in contact with the barrel.
- Each insulating sleeve is substantially cylindrical and is joined to the insulating body 14 at its rear end.
- a first sleeve 11 is provided at its front end with a flange portion 12 which projects outwards from the sleeve; it is herein called “portion” because it doesn't need to extend to the whole periphery of the sleeve end, but it will also be referred to simply as "flange".
- the flange 12 is not necessarily a connected element: it may be divided in more than one sector.
- the flange portion 12 comprises two symmetrical and diametrally opposed sectors: a first sector 121 and a second sector 122.
- the flange is a lug in the shape of a harpoon or the like, which is provided with a certain elasticity and the orientation of which allows to insert the sleeve through the port of its housing in the connection block, but prevents or at least hinders its withdrawal from said housing, because when attempting such withdrawal the rear part of the harpoon abuts against the periphery of said port (see figure 2 ).
- the other insulating sleeve which can be called second sleeve 13
- This unflanged sleeve 13 is shorter than the flanged sleeve 11, precisely in order to be able to be extracted its housing; if it was as long as the flanged sleeve 11, or longer, then it could't exit its housing, as happens with the flanged sleeve.
- One of the two sockets 21 of the connection block 21 that have to be connected by means of the bridge 10 has a larger diameter than the other, and therefore it is foreseen that the unflanged sleeve 13 is wider than the flanged sleeve 11.
- the socket with a smaller diameter is not provided with an insulating sheath which is normally included in the sockets having a standard diameter, but electrocution is nevertheless prevented because said socket is surrounded by the insulating sleeve 11.
- connection bridge 20 Since the connection bridge 20 is provided with the flanged sleeve 11, said bridge can be permanently housed in the connection block 20 and still avoid the risk of getting lost.
- the connection bridge will normally be in a rest position, in which it does not make any connection, but it is ready to be switched at any time to a working position in which it provides the desired bridging.
- Figure 3 shows by means of four sub-figures (a, b, c, d) the sequence of operations of the connection bridge 10 in the connection block 20. The operations will be described in the following, naming them according to the letters of the four sub-figures:
- the sleeve's flange can be substituted by the provision on the sleeve of an annular groove with a tongue inserted into it, so as to prevent the sleeve from exiting the port of its housing.
