The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being given in relation to the attached drawings, among which:
  • the Fig. 1a, 1a. 1b and the Fig. 1 C represent steps of assembling an electrical connection assembly according to a first embodiment of the invention,

La Fig. 1a montre un ensemble de connexion électrique 100 comprenant une plaque électriquement conductrice 102 et au moins une colonnette 106 qui ne sont pas assemblées.The Fig. 1a shows an electrical connection assembly 100 comprising an electrically conductive plate 102 and at least one baluster 106 which are not assembled.

L'ensemble de connexion 100 est destiné à être implanté dans un boîtier électrique. La plaque conductrice 102 est fixée dans le boîtier électrique et des composants électriques sont mis en place dans le boîtier électrique de manière à venir en contact avec la plaque conductrice 102 ou l'une des colonnettes 106 en fonction de la distance entre le composant électrique et la plaque conductrice 102. C'est-à-dire si après implantation du composant électrique, celui-ci est en contact avec la plaque conductrice 102, il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir une colonnette 106, mais si après implantation du composant électrique, celui-ci n'est pas en contact avec la plaque conductrice 102, il est nécessaire de prévoir une colonnette 106.The connection assembly 100 is intended to be implanted in an electrical box. The conductive plate 102 is fixed in the electrical box and electrical components are put in place in the electrical box so as to come into contact with the conductive plate 102 or one of the columns 106 as a function of the distance between the electrical component and the conductive plate 102. That is to say if after implantation of the electrical component, it is in contact with the conductive plate 102, it is not necessary to provide a column 106, but if after implantation of the electrical component , it is not in contact with the conductive plate 102, it is necessary to provide a column 106.

La plaque conductrice 102 est percée d'un alésage 104 destiné à recevoir la colonnette 106. A cette fin, la colonnette 106 comprend un cylindre 108 dont le rayon est adapté pour permettre sa pénétration dans l'alésage 104 (Fig. 1b). La colonnette 106 est creuse et est traversée axialement par un trou 114.The conductive plate 102 is pierced with a bore 104 intended to receive the column 106. For this purpose, the column 106 comprises a cylinder 108 whose radius is adapted to allow its penetration into the bore 104 (FIG. Fig. 1b ). The pillar 106 is hollow and is traversed axially by a hole 114.

Un épaulement 110 de la colonnette 106 vient arrêter en butée la colonnette 106 contre la plaque conductrice 102. La longueur du cylindre 108 est telle que, lorsque l'épaulement 110 est en butée, l'extrémité libre du cylindre 108 déborde au-delà de la plaque conductrice 102.A shoulder 110 of the column 106 abuts the column 106 against the conductive plate 102. The length of the cylinder 108 is such that, when the shoulder 110 is in abutment, the free end of the cylinder 108 overflows beyond the conductive plate 102.

La Fig. 1c montre l'ensemble de connexion 100 après sertissage de la colonnette 106 sur la plaque conductrice 102. Le sertissage s'effectue par expansion radiale de l'extrémité libre du cylindre 108 de la colonnette 106 puis par son écrasement axial. Après l'écrasement axial, l'extrémité sertie de la colonnette 106 est affleurante avec la plaque conductrice 102.The Fig. 1 C shows the connection assembly 100 after crimping the column 106 on the conductive plate 102. The crimping is carried out by radial expansion of the free end of the cylinder 108 of the column 106 and by axial crushing. After the axial crushing, the crimped end of the column 106 is flush with the conductive plate 102.

Un outil, décrit ci-après, est introduit dans le trou 114 par l'extrémité disposée du côté opposé au côté par lequel est introduit la colonnette 106 dans l'alésage 104. L'outil est prévu pour exercer une force d'expansion radiale sur l'extrémité libre du premier cylindre 106 et pour l'écraser contre la face de la plaque conductrice 102.A tool, described below, is introduced into the hole 114 by the end disposed on the opposite side to the side through which the column 106 is inserted into the bore 104. The tool is designed to exert a radial expansion force. on the free end of the first cylinder 106 and to crush it against the face of the conductive plate 102.

Le sertissage n'est pas réalisé uniquement par écrasement axial du premier cylindre, mais par expansion radiale puis par écrasement axial. Ce sertissage permet d'obtenir une colonnette 106 qui est parfaitement tenue et difficile à arracher, contrairement à un sertissage uniquement axial.Crimping is not done solely by axial crushing of the first cylinder, but by radial expansion and axial crushing. This crimping provides a column 106 which is perfectly held and difficult to tear, unlike a crimping only axial.

La face externe 112 de la colonnette 106 est alors à distance de la face de la plaque conductrice 102 et permet de venir en contact avec un composant électrique.The outer face 112 of the column 106 is then remote from the face of the conductive plate 102 and makes it possible to come into contact with an electrical component.

Le trou 114 peut servir de trou de fixation pour une vis de maintien du composant électrique.The hole 114 may serve as a fixing hole for a screw for holding the electrical component.

La Fig. 2 montre une plaque conductrice 202 selon un autre mode de réalisation, particulièrement adapté pour les plaques conductrices de faible épaisseur, par exemple inférieure à 1 mm. La plaque conductrice 202 présente un alésage 204 qui est chanfreiné du côté du sertissage. Le chanfrein reçoit l'expansion radiale de la colonnette.The Fig. 2 shows a conductive plate 202 according to another embodiment, particularly suitable for conducting plates of small thickness, for example less than 1 mm. The conductive plate 202 has a bore 204 which is chamfered on the crimping side. The chamfer receives the radial expansion of the column.

La Fig. 3a montre un ensemble de connexion électrique 300 non assemblé selon un deuxième mode de réalisation. La Fig. 3b montre l'ensemble de connexion 300 assemblé mais non serti.The Fig. 3a shows an unassembled electrical connection assembly 300 according to a second embodiment. The Fig. 3b shows the assembly assembly 300 assembled but not crimped.

La Fig. 5a montre la première partie 501 d'un outil et la Fig. 5b montre la deuxième partie 502 du même outil qui est destiné à réaliser le sertissage d'un ensemble de connexion 100, 300, 400 selon l'invention.The Fig. 5a shows the first part 501 of a tool and the Fig. 5b shows the second part 502 of the same tool which is intended to perform the crimping of a connection assembly 100, 300, 400 according to the invention.

La première partie 501 comprend un corps cylindrique 504 qui porte à l'une de ses extrémités, un sabot 508 destiné à être fixé dans le mors d'une machine et, à l'autre extrémité, une empreinte creuse 512.The first part 501 comprises a cylindrical body 504 which carries at one of its ends, a shoe 508 intended to be fixed in the jaw of a machine and, at the other end, a hollow footprint 512.

La deuxième partie 502 comprend un corps cylindrique 506 qui porte à l'une de ses extrémités, un sabot 510 destiné à être fixé dans le mors de la machine et, à l'autre extrémité, un poinçon 514.The second part 502 comprises a cylindrical body 506 which carries at one of its ends, a shoe 510 intended to be fixed in the jaw of the machine and, at the other end, a punch 514.

La colonnette à sertir est emmanchée sur le corps 504 de la première partie 501 et la plaque conductrice et éventuellement l'autre colonnette sont placées sur la face portant l'empreinte 512. Le poinçon 514 est alors approché de l'empreinte 512 et de par sa forme génère une expansion radiale de la colonnette puis son écrasement axial.The crimping pin is fitted on the body 504 of the first part 501 and the conductive plate and optionally the other column are placed on the face bearing the impression 512. The punch 514 is then approached by the impression 512 and by its shape generates a radial expansion of the column and its axial crushing.

Le poinçon 514 est fixé au corps 506 par l'intermédiaire d'une zone rayonnée qui en se rapprochant de l'empreinte 512 oblige l'extrémité de la colonnette à s'écarter radialement. L'extrémité du corps 506 vient ensuite écraser l'extrémité libre ainsi écartée.The punch 514 is fixed to the body 506 by means of a radiated zone which, when approaching the cavity 512, forces the end of the column to deviate radially. The end of the body 506 then crushes the free end thus spaced.

La mise en place de une ou deux colonnettes permet de gérer les problèmes de distance avec les composants électriques et le sertissage spécifique par expansion radiale permet de garantir une bonne tenue mécanique et un bon contact électrique de chaque colonnette sur la plaque conductrice.The installation of one or two columns allows to manage the problems of distance with the electrical components and the specific crimping by expansion radial ensures good mechanical strength and good electrical contact of each column on the conductive plate.

Les dimensions des différents éléments sont telles qu'après sertissage aucun mouvement de translation n'est possible entre eux.The dimensions of the various elements are such that after crimping no translational movement is possible between them.
