Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical connection assembly, and a tool provided for making such an assembly.
  • an electrically conductive plate serving as an electrical conductor makes it possible to interconnect various electronic power components, for example a cable, a circuit breaker or the like. Due to the length of the conductive plate and manufacturing tolerances of the surrounding elements, certain electrical components are at a distance from the conductive plate and are not in contact with it.
  • the document GB-A-2 154 079 shows a connection set of the state of the art.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an electrical connection assembly which does not have the drawbacks of the prior art and which, in particular, allows contacting of the conductive plate and the electrical components.
  • the hole of the first column is chamfered on the crimping side.
  • the first pillar comprises a hollow cylinder whose radius is adapted to allow its penetration into the bore.
  • the lengths of the hollow cylinder and of the second cylinder are such that, when the shoulder of the first column and the shoulder of the second column are in abutment against the conductive plate, the hollow cylinder and the second cylinder abut against each other.
  • the length of the second cylinder is greater than the thickness of the conductive plate and the shoulder of the first column is traversed axially by a hole whose radius is adapted to allow its fitting on the second cylinder.
  • the invention also proposes a tool comprising a first part comprising a body in which a hollow cavity is hollowed out and a second part comprising a body on which is formed a punch intended to penetrate the hollow cavity, the tool being characterized in that that the punch is attached to the body via a radiated area.

  • 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.
  • the conductive plate 102 is pierced with a bore 104 intended to receive the column 106.

  • 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.
  • a tool 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the hole 114 may serve as a fixing hole for a screw for holding the electrical component.
  • 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.

  • the cylinder 322 of the first column 320 has a radius adapted to allow its penetration into the bore 104 ( Fig. 3b ). Stopping of the first column 320 against the conductive plate 102 is carried out by abutment of the shoulder 324.
