Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to branch connectors designed for establishing an electrical connection between a first cable, or feeder cable, which cable is generally already installed, and a second cable, or branch cable, to be connected to said feeder cable.
  • branch connectors are notably used in the field of electrical connections to a buried feeder cable in a building which must be supplied with electrical power.
  • a process is already known from American patent n° US 4527854 for connecting the bifurcation conductors to the cores of an electrical cable under voltage, according to this process the cable cores are separated by a spacer part, and contact parts provided with contact points, blades, or similar means, are connected to the bifurcation conductors and are brought into a conduction connection with the cable cores by a clamping ring, this process providing positioning of the contact parts apart from the clamping ring in a predetermined common plane of a transverse section of the cable, between the cores, the bifurcation conductors being previously or subsequently connected to the contact parts, as well as the subsequent transfer of the clamping ring to a position encircling the contact parts and the compression of the cable cores against the contact parts by clamping together the parts of the clamping ring.
  • the contact parts are retained by snapping into the predetermined positions by means of the spacer part introduced between the cable cores.
  • these contact parts have feet shaped appendages made from electrically conducting material and which are provided with the aforementioned blades, points, or similar means, whereas the spacer part has a twin channel profile with longitudinal edges, the mutual distance of which essentially corresponds to the width of the appendages.
  • This type of connector is preferred as it allows, due to the fact that the contact parts snap into place between the conductors of the feeder cable, a maximum contact zone to be targeted between the contact parts and the conductors of the feeder cable.
  • this type of embodiment does not take into account the fact that the conductors (cores) of the feeder cable are, in practice, generally twisted, which means that they do not extend parallel to each other and that, locally, they extend obliquely relative to the extension axis of the feeder cable by itself. Consequently, when this type of branch connector is used with this type of cable, the contact between the contact parts and the conductors of this cable is far from being optimal, mainly due to the presence of the spacer part which extends, in the assembled condition, between the contact parts, over the entire width of the cable and along a certain length, and thus hinders said contact parts from intimately bearing against the adjacent conductors of the cable by following their respective inclines.
  • clamping means implemented on this type of connector are relatively numerous and some of them are difficult to access when the branch connector has to be installed on a cable located in a trough.
  • the purpose of the invention is to propose a branch connector of the same type, but which has improved performance in terms of simplicity and ease of manufacture and use and which also provides other advantages.
  • the purpose of the invention is a branch connector for connecting each of the conductors of a feeder cable to each of the conductors of a branch cable, including two principal jaws made from insulating material, designed for placing the connector onto the feeder cable and connected together by translation using clamping means designed for clamping said jaws onto the conductors of the feeder cable, and several branching elements designed for connecting the conductors of the feeder cable to the conductors of the branch cable, each branching element including a body, made from insulating material, a secondary jaw also made from insulating material, which jaw is mounted in a mobile manner to the body under the control of second clamping means and which defines with this body at least one receptacle designed for the insertion of a conductor of the branch cable and at least one metal contact part designed for establishing an electrical connection between a conductor of the feeder cable and a conductor of the branch cable, the first and second clamping means respectively including a first and a second threaded rod assembled in a detachable manner in a cross wise
  • the number of parts which constitute the clamping means is reduced to a strict minimum, and concealed clamping becomes unnecessary, as will be shown in more detail hereafter.
  • the branch connector 10 includes two principal jaws 11a, 11b, identical herein, made from insulating material, designed for connecting this connector 10 to a feeder cable, connected together by translation using the first clamping means described in further detail hereafter and designed to be clamped to the conductors of this feeder cable; as well as two branching elements 12a, 12b, in this case also identical and designed for connection of the conductors of the feeder cable to the conductors of a branch cable.
  • Each branching element 12a, 12b includes a body made from insulating material and which has a projecting section 14a, 14b, which is also made from insulating material and by which the branching element 12a, 12b, is designed to laterally engage between the two principal jaws 11a, 11b, in order to define receptacles with said principal jaws, which receptacles are designed for the insertion of the conductors of the feeder cable.
  • these conductors 16a-16d form, in this case, viewed in a transversal direction, four complementary sectors each forming a quadrant.
  • each branching element 12a, 12b also includes a secondary jaw 17a, 17b, made from insulating material and which is distinct from the principal jaws 11a, 11b.
  • Each of these secondary jaws 17a, 17b is mounted in a mobile manner onto the body 13a, 13b of the corresponding branching element 12a, 12b, under the control of second clamping means, described in more detail hereafter, in order to define, with this body 13a, 13b, at least one receptacle designed for the insertion of a conductor of the branch cable.
  • each conductor 16a-16d of the feeder cable and a conductor 18a-18d of the branch cable connected to the branching elements 12a, 12b four metal contacts parts 20a-20d are provided for the respective electrical connections.
  • the four contacts parts 20a-20d are each partly superposed on the projecting section 14a, 14b of the branching element 12a, 12b to which it is mounted, with a view, on the one hand, to interfering with a receptacle 15a-15d of the principal conductor of the feeder cable and, on the other hand, interfering by another section, with an adjacent receptacle 19a-19d of the branch cable conductor.
  • the first and second clamping means include, respectively, a first and a second threaded rod 21, 22, assembled in a detachable manner in the form of a cross and on each of which the principal jaws 11a, 11b and the branching elements 12a, 12b are respectively engaged.
  • These first and second clamping means include, in addition, programmed torque limiting nuts 23a, 23b, 24, in this case there are three nuts which are designed to co-operate with the threaded rods 21, 22.
  • a vertical separator 25 is provided to co-operate with the branching elements 12a, 12b, as described hereafter.
  • the intervention means designed to elastically bias each principal jaw 11a, 11b and each secondary jaw 17a, 17b toward its respective clamping position on a conductor, are also provided on the branch connector 10 according to the invention.
  • the rod 22, to which the branching elements 12a, 12b are engaged includes means for passage of the rod 21, in this case being shown in the form of an eyelet 26; figure 3 .
  • These nuts are identical and each is in the form of a base nut including a control head 27a, 27b connected by a break section 28a, 28b to a base 29a, 29b, which base is extended by a tapped shaft 30a, 30b, for screwing the nut 23a, 23b to one of the ends of the threaded rod 22.
  • Each shaft 30a, 30b is terminated by a collar 31a, 31b at its free end for assembly of the nuts 23a, 23b and respective secondary jaws 17a, 17b by positive snap-on connection.
  • each control head 27a, 27b has a polygon shaped section, which in this case is hexagonal, for activation from outside, whereas it is internally hollow in the extension of the tapped shaft 30a, 30b in order to facilitate its detachment from the assembly formed by the base and the tapped shaft under the effect of a predetermined torque.
  • the nut 24 has the same structure as that of nuts 23a, 23b and will not therefore be described in further detail herein. It is, in the same way as these nuts 23a, 23b, herein manufactured from steel.
  • the means of intervention by elastic bias include, for each principal jaw 11a, 11b, a plate 33a, 33b providing a spring function, in other words, a flexible pressure plate, and which is interposed, to this end, between this jaw 11a, 11b, and an adjacent clamping means, which clamping means for jaw 11a, is the nut 24, and, more specifically, its base 29c, and for jaw 11b, is the screw head 21.
  • each of these plates 33a, 33b in this case manufactured from steel, has a central opening 34a, 34b for passage of the adjacent clamping means which act thereon.
  • This central opening 34a, 34b is located at the centre of a removable section 35a, 35b of the plate 33a, 33b, which is generally oblong along the length of the plate and which originates from a stamp of the plate 33a, 33b, in order to apply its spring function to each of these plates 33a, 33b.
  • Each of these plates 33a, 33b is also arched along its width so as to co-operate in an optimal manner with the external convex contour opposite the associated jaw 11a, 11b.
  • the central opening 34b has a square section for cooperating with the square 32 of the screw 21 and thus prevent the rotation of the screw 21.
  • the two plates 33a, 33b are identical, except for the central opening 34a, provided to allow the nut 24 to pass.
  • the collar 31c at the free end of the tapped shaft 30c of the nut 24 allows positive snap-on connection of this nut 24 and of the body of the jaw 11a by means of cooperating shapes (not visible in the drawings), with the advantage of pre-assembly of the parts and, consequently, easier final assembly.
  • This shaft 37a, 37b internally extends, in practice, the central opening which is arranged in the body of each secondary jaw 17a, 17b for passage of the associated nut 23a, 23b.
  • a tapered ring 38a, 38b taken from a mould of material with the body of the jaw 11a, 11b extends axially in the central bore 39a, 39b of each jaw receiving the clamping means (screw and/or nut) in order to co-operate by press-fitting with this screw.
  • the means of intervention by elastic bias include, for each secondary jaw 17a, 17b a plate 40a, 40b also performing a spring function and which is interposed, to this end, between the jaw 17a, 17b and an adjacent clamping means, that is nut 23a or nut 23b and, more specifically, the base 29a, 29b of each nut.
  • each of these plates 40a, 40b is also slightly arched in an idle state.
  • the secondary jaws 17a, 17b are shown in figures 1 and 2 , during clamping, whereas the principal jaws 11a, 11b are shown in the maximum clamping position, the position in which the principal jaws penetrate a section at their level, in the space formed between the branching elements 12a, 12b, the threaded rods 21, 22, respectively receiving the principal jaws 11a, 11b and the branching elements 12a, 12b form, to this end, a right angle.
  • each plate 40a, 40b associated with a secondary jaw 17a, 17b is housed in a cover 41a, 41b arranged on the back of said plate, the flat base of the cover forming a bearing surface for the plate.

  • both the principal jaws 11a, 11b and the secondary jaws 17a, 17b are each provided, for each conductor, with sharp-edged curved blades, which, in practice, in the case of the embodiment shown in figures 1 to 9 , involves four parallel rows 43a, 43b per principal jaw 11a, 11b and four parallel rows 44a, 44b per secondary jaw 17a, 17b (on opposite sides of 37a, 37b).
  • These blades are designed to perforate the insulation of these conductors in order to prevent any progressive loosening associated with creep in the material.
  • each contact part 20a - 20d has, figure 4 , in a single piece, a base 45 extended by two tabs 46 extending square relative to this base 45, at the longitudinal ends thereof, by being symmetrically disposed relative to a median plane of the part.
