Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the technical field of electrical apparatuses and, more specifically, it concerns a modular electrical apparatus comprising a coupling device for the connection with a further modular electrical apparatus, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Patent document published as EP-A-0626712 discloses a modular electrical apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1. Particularly, such a document discloses a coupling device between two modular electrical apparatuses intended for juxtaposition on a side face, including a plurality of slides set in least one of the apparatuses, the slides being slidable in the plane of a side face of the respective apparatus and being provided with raised hooking tooth to be matched to a corresponding hooking socket provided on a side face of the other apparatus.
  • a purpose of the present invention is to provide a modular electrical apparatus comprising a coupling device for coupling with a further modular electrical apparatus that allows the aforementioned drawbacks with reference to the prior art to be avoided.
  • a purpose of the present invention is to provide a modular electrical apparatus that allows the connection with a further modular electrical apparatus to be carried out quickly and easily without the need for tools, and at the same time which allows a solid and strong coupling to be made with the apparatus to which it is connected.
  • the object of the present invention is also a component assembly as defined in claim 10.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises a substantially cased apparatus body 20 including:
  • the cased body 20 more specifically comprises a first half-shell or base 30 and a second half-shell or cover 40.
  • the accessory apparatus 10 comprises at least one coupling device 50, 60, in the example a fastening device, to connect the accessory apparatus to a second modular electrical apparatus or main apparatus, wholly indicated with 70 in figure 9 .
  • the main apparatus is an automatic switch 70
  • the accessory apparatus can be an actuator device, such as a remote control motor module of DIN modular standard, which is suitable for being mechanically coupled with the switch to operatively interact with the switch itself.
  • the actuator 10 comprises a first and a second coupling device, one upper device 50 and one lower device 60, respectively, which are arranged at two opposing ends of the cased body 20.
  • the coupling devices are mounted in particular between the base 30 and the cover 40.
  • the upper coupling device 50 comprises an actuation element or manoeuvring slider 80 and a coupling element 90.
  • the slider 80 is mounted so as to be able to slide at one end of the cased body of the actuator. More specifically, the slider may slide along an actuation direction M1, M2 ( figures 6 and 7 ) between a blocking operating position ( figures 4 , 5 and 7 ) and a releasing operating position ( figures 1, 2 , 3 and 6 ) of the electrical apparatuses 10, 70 to be coupled. With reference to the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the slider may slide along the upper wall 24 of the cased body in the direction substantially orthogonal to the rear wall 22.
  • the coupling element 90 may slide along a coupling direction A1, A2 ( figures 6 and 7 ) between an operative coupling position ( figures 5 and 7 ) and an operative uncoupling position ( figures 2 and 6 ) to respectively connect and disconnect the actuator 10 and the switch 70 with each other.
  • the coupling direction A1, A2 is transversal to the actuation direction M1, M2 and, in the described example, in particular it is substantially orthogonal to such a direction.
  • the coupling element 90 comprises an arm or protrusion 90A arranged inside the cased body 20 of the actuator and a hook portion 90B protruding from the lateral wall 28 outside of the cased body.
  • the hook portion 90B may slide along a part of the lateral wall 28 that is located between the pair of upper and lower walls 24, 26 when the coupling element moves from the coupling position to the uncoupling position and vice versa.
  • the slider 80 includes guiding means 92, 94 comprising at least one first guiding plane, or upper plane 92, which is inclined with respect to the actuation direction M1, M2 and coupling direction A1, A2.
  • the upper plane 92 is suitable for interaction with the coupling element 90 in order to cause said element to slide along the coupling direction A1, A2.
  • the guide means comprise a second guiding plane, or lower plane 94, arranged parallel to the upper plane 92.
  • the arrangement of the lower plane 94 allows the coupling element 90 to slide in the two opposite directions along the coupling direction A1, A2.
  • Such sliding is in particular made possible by the protrusion 90A that is suitable for being slidingly guided by the upper and lower guide planes 92, 94 to allow the coupling element 90 to slide in the two opposite directions along the coupling direction A1, A2.
  • the slider 80 includes stopping abutting means 96 which may interact with the coupling element 90 in order to hold said element in the coupling position when the slider reaches the blocking position.
  • the stopping abutting means include an abutting plane 96 against which the protrusion 90A is suitable for going into abutment.
  • the abutting plane is contiguous to the upper guiding plane 92 and is arranged parallel to the actuation direction M1, M2.
  • the slider 80 includes a moving portion that in the present example is substantially aligned with the upper wall 24 of the cased body.
  • the moving portion comprises a grip region 98 or increased adherence region preferably made through a plurality of rectilinear ribs that are spaced apart.
  • the slider 80 includes a guide portion, in the example represented by a substantially plate-shaped guiding tongue 100.
  • the tongue 100 is partially engaged in a respective guiding groove 102 foreseen inside the cased body of the actuator to allow the slider to slide along the actuation direction M1, M2.
  • the tongue 100 and the grip region 98 are mutually arranged so as to define an abutment step 104 that is suitable for going into abutment with a portion of the upper wall 24 of the cased body when the slider reaches the blocking position.
  • the actuator 10 includes snap blocking means to removably block the slider 80 in the blocking position.
  • snap blocking means can be foreseen comprising a blocking tooth suitable for interacting with a matching fastening step, respectively foreseen on the slider 80 and on the cased body 20 or vice versa.
  • the blocking tooth and the fastening step have been represented schematically and they have been respectively indicated with reference numerals 106 and 108.
  • the slider In order to stop the stroke of the actuation slider when it reaches the release position ( figure 6 ), the slider includes an abutment portion, in the example comprising an abutment plane 110 contiguous to the lower guiding plane 94, which is suitable for going into abutment with a wall of the cased body of the actuator.
  • the slider 80 includes a portion 112 which is complementarily shaped with respect to a portion of the protrusion 90A of the coupling element.
  • a complementarily shaped portion is a joining portion of the upper and lower guiding planes that is suitable for defining, together with such planes, a recess inside which the protrusion 90A may slide.
  • switch 70 includes a substantially cased apparatus body.
  • the cased body of the switch includes, in particular:
  • the sliders 80 of the coupling devices 50, 60 are in the release position whereas the coupling elements are in the uncoupling position.
  • the slider 80 partially protrudes from the cased body. Moreover, the abutment plane 110 is in abutment against a wall of the cased body and the protrusion 90A is substantially trapped between the complementarily shaped portion 112 and the wall against which the plane 110 is in abutment.
  • the lateral wall 28 of the actuator is made to face the lateral wall 140 of the switch so that the hook portion 90B is aligned with the respective slit 142 of the switch.
  • the lateral wall 28 of the actuator is brought closer to the lateral wall 140 of the switch, through a translation movement, until the hook portion almost completely passes through the slit.
  • the electrical apparatuses are adjacent and in contact with one another along the aforementioned lateral walls.
  • the slider 80 is made to slide in the direction indicated by the arrow M1, for example by acting with a finger on the grip region 98, until the slider reaches the blocking position and the coupling element reaches the coupling position.
  • the actuator and the switch are firmly fixed or fastened together.
  • the abutting plane 96 advantageously ensures that the coupling element is held in the coupling position to avoid the apparatuses being able to unfasten.
  • the translation of the coupling element in the direction of the arrow A2 is indeed prevented by the abutment of the protrusion 90A against the abutting plane 96.
