Description
- The present invention relates to industrial sockets, and in particular to a socket for electric vehicles provided with a live contacts protection device that is automatically disengaged upon insertion of the corresponding plug.
- It is known that the market offers sockets, both for industrial and domestic use, provided with a contacts protection device to increase the safety level for the user so that the latter can not accidentally come into contact with live parts. Such a device usually consists of a cover arranged within the socket body, in the space below the holes for the entrance of the pins, which is biased by a spring to cover the live contacts and is moved by the corresponding plug, with a translational or rotational motion, to gain access to the contacts (see e.g.
EP 1376772 ). - A socket for electric vehicles manufactured according to the IEC 62196-2 standard (Standard Sheet 2-IIa) is however designed such that it is not possible to apply the above-illustrated usual protection device. In fact, inside the socket body there is no space suitable to house the cover since the corresponding plug was designed so that it substantially takes up the whole space inside the socket body.
-
DE 10-2009-044343 andDE 10-2010-048713 , which describe substantially the same device, disclose a socket for electric vehicles (also according to the above-mentioned standard) which is provided with a closure unit arranged before the socket body so as to overcome the lack of space inside the latter. In other words, such a socket is merely like a prior art socket with a contacts protection device that has been moved forward outside of the socket body. - In fact, the closure unit shown in these documents essentially consists of a pear-shaped cover element made up of two halves pivoted at the top so as to move away from each other, and thus grant access to the entrance of the socket body located behind them, when they are pushed aside by the plug against the resistance of a spring. Such a closure unit is also suitable for retrofitting existing power outlets and clearly increases the length and bulkiness of the socket.
- Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a socket for electric vehicles of the above-mentioned type which is provided with an improved live contacts protection device. This object is achieved by means of a socket according to
claim 1. The socket is provided with a pair of covers arranged substantially outside the socket body and comprises terminal portions that penetrate the socket body to cover the live contacts, said covers being moved from said working position, to which they are biased by elastic members, to a rest position, in which their terminal portions are outside the socket body, by at least one actuating member projecting inside the socket body and suitable to be moved outside the socket body by the corresponding plug upon insertion of the latter into the socket. Other advantageous features of the present industrial socket are recited in the dependent claims. - The main advantage of the socket according to the present invention is that of achieving the function of live contacts protection to guarantee the safety of the user of this particular type of socket without significantly increasing its length and bulkiness.
- Another advantage of this socket, in its preferred embodiment, resides in the presence of a mechanism for locking the protection device which prevents the latter from being moved away from the working position when the corresponding plug is not inserted so as to further increase the safety.
- These/ and other advantages and characteristics of the industrial socket according to the present invention will be clear to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of an embodiment thereof, with reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
-
Fig.1 is a perspective exploded view from the rear bottom side of the above-mentioned socket and of the corresponding plug; -
Fig.2 is a view similar to the preceding one from the front bottom side; -
Fig.3 is a view similar to the preceding one from the rear top side; -
Fig.4 is a perspective view from the rear bottom side with a corner portion removed; -
Fig.5 is a perspective view from the front top side with the top portion removed and an enlarged detail; -
Fig.6 is a view similar to the preceding one with a lateral portion removed and the corresponding plug in the initial phase of insertion into the socket; -
Fig.7 is a view similar to the preceding one with the plug in a phase of insertion into the socket just after the phase ofFig.6 ; -
Fig.8 is a side view of the socket with a lateral portion removed and an enlarged detail showing the plug in an intermediate phase of insertion into the socket; -
Fig.9 is a perspective view from the rear bottom side of the socket with a lateral portion removed and the plug in the final phase of insertion into the socket; -
Fig.10 is a see-through top plan view of the socket with the plug completely inserted; and -
Fig.11 is a sectional view taken along line A-A ofFig. 10 . - With reference to
figures 1 to 5 , there is seen that an industrial socket according to the present invention conventionally includes asocket body 1 suitable to receive acorresponding plug 2, inside saidbody 1 there being suitably arranged seven cylindricallongitudinal housings 3 in four of which there are fittedmetal sleeves 4 acting as live contacts in which the corresponding pins ofplug 2 are insertable. - A first novel aspect of the present socket is the presence on each lateral side of
body 1 of acover 5 that is rotatably mounted outsidebody 1 by means of apivot 6 passing through a bushing 5a, formed at an end of saidcover 5, and secured in a longitudinal seat 7 formed on the bottom side of atransverse flange 8 integral withbody 1.Cover 5 is provided with two elongatedterminal portions 5b suitable to penetratebody 1, throughcorresponding slots 1a, and the adjacentcylindrical housings 3, through similar slots not visible in the drawings, up to a position in front of thesleeves 4 so as to prevent access thereto. - The rotation of covers 5 around
pivots 6 is caused by an actuating member that, in the preferred embodiment illustrated in the drawings, consists of acursor 9 located at the rear side ofbody 1 towards which it is biased by a pair ofcoil springs 10 arranged betweencursor 9 and alongitudinal wall 11 formed on the bottom side offlange 8 and provided withsuitable seats 11a (seeFig.2 and detail ofFig.8 ). - More specifically,
cursor 9 has a pair offrontal projections 9a, suitable to penetratebody 1 throughcorresponding openings 1b, whose length at the top is shorter than the length at the bottom so as to form a slanted plane 9aa whose bottom portion 9ab is longitudinally shaped as an arc of circle to mate with the adjacentcylindrical housings 3. Moreover,cursor 9 has a pair oflateral projections 9b shaped to partially enclosebushings 5a and provided withbottom pegs 9c suitable to engagecorresponding grooves 5c formed in the top side ofcovers 5 at an outermost position with respect tobushings 5a, as better illustrated in the enlarged detail ofFig.5 (where thecylindrical housings 3 are interrupted belowcursor 9 and covers 5 for the sake of clarity of the drawing). - Therefore when the contact protection device is in its working position illustrated in
figures 4 and 5 , covers 5 are abutting againstbody 1 with theirterminal portions 5b arranged abovesleeves 4, whilecursor 9 projects insidebody 1 with its frontal projections abutting against the adjacentcylindrical housings 3. This position of the protection device is maintained bysprings 10 compressed betweencursor 9 andwall 11, and the centripetal force oncursor 9 is transferred to covers 5 throughpegs 9c andgrooves 5c as described above. - A second novel aspect of the socket according to the present invention is preferably given by the presence of a mechanism for locking the protection device which prevents the latter from moving away from the working position in a safer way than what is provided by the mere resistance of
springs 10. In fact although the protection device arranged belowflange 8 is enclosed by a casing (not shown),covers 5 are accessible at theterminal portions 5b projecting into thecylindrical housings 3 when the plug is not inserted. The presence of a specific locking mechanism allows therefore to further increase the safety of the socket and to meet the requirements of the standards of the sector. - This mechanism preferably consists of a
lever 12 rotatably mountedoutside body 1, at the front side thereof, by means of a pair ofpivots 13 passing throughbushings 12a, formed at the top ends of saidlever 12, and secured intransverse seats 14 formed on the bottom side offlange 8. More specifically,lever 12 has a substantially L-shaped section with the bottom edge shaped as an arc of circle to abut againstbody 1 under the bias of atorsion spring 15, and in that position it locks covers 5 thanks to itsbottom ends 12b as shown inFig.4 and in the detail ofFig.6 . Moreover,lever 12 has a pair ofrear teeth 12c suitable to project insidebody 1 passing throughcorresponding slots 1c. - In the light of the description above, and of
figures 6 to 11 , the simple and effective operation of the industrial socket according to the present invention is readily understood. - As shown in the detail of
Fig.6 , as soon asplug 2 starts to be inserted in thesocket body 1 its bottom edge comes into contact withteeth 12c of thelocking lever 12 which project insidebody 1 just belowflange 8. Proceeding with the insertion,plug 2 rotates lever 12 aroundpivots 13 by pushingteeth 12coutside body 1, whereby ends 12b move downwards and disengage covers 5 (as shown in the detail ofFig.7 ). - After this initial phase of insertion, plug 2 encounters the
frontal projections 9a ofcursor 9 which project insidebody 1 throughopenings 1b, and more precisely the contact occurs at the slanted planes 9aa, as shown in the detail ofFig.8 . The push ofplug 2 on the slanted planes 9aa causescursor 9 to move back overcoming the resistance ofsprings 10, and this backwards motion results in a rotation of covers 5 aroundpivots 6 thanks topegs 9c engaged ingrooves 5c. As a consequence, theterminal portions 5b are pulled out ofbody 1 throughslots 1a and the pins ofplug 2 have free access tosleeves 4, as shown inFig.9 . - The rest position of the protection device is illustrated in
figures 10 and 11 that showplug 2 completely inserted in thesocket body 1, withteeth 12c andprojections 9a abutting against the body ofplug 2 under the bias ofsprings 10. This bias provides, obviously, to restore the working position of the protection device illustrated infigures 4 and 5 as soon asplug 2 is pulled out of thesocket body 1. - It is clear that the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the socket according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications. In particular, the shape of the covers and of their relevant actuating member can somewhat change while remaining within the present inventive concept. For example, the
translating cursor 9 could be replaced with a rotating cursor similar to lever 12 by providing a coupling withcovers 5 that converts the rotation of the cursor around a transverse axis into a rotation of the covers around their longitudinal axis. - As an alternative,
cursor 9 could be altogether absent andplug 2 could act directly on an actuating member consisting of terminal portions of the covers shaped with slanted planes similar to the above-described slanted planes 9aa, possibly with the exception of the distal portion that penetrates thecylindrical housings 3 and coverssleeves 4. In this case the covers could be mounted individually in a way similar to the above-describedcursor 9, with springs exerting a centripetal bias, while the locking mechanism consisting oflever 12 could remain unchanged. Furthermore, the movement of the two covers could be synchronized by connecting them so as to make the operation of the protection device smoother.
