Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a contacts protection 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.
  • Standard Sheet 2-IIa 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.
  • 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.
  • a closure unit is also suitable for retrofitting existing power outlets and clearly increases the length and bulkiness of the socket.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • an industrial socket conventionally includes a socket body 1 suitable to receive a corresponding plug 2, inside said body 1 there being suitably arranged seven cylindrical longitudinal housings 3 in four of which there are fitted metal sleeves 4 acting as live contacts in which the corresponding pins of plug 2 are insertable.
  • a first novel aspect of the present socket is the presence on each lateral side of body 1 of a cover 5 that is rotatably mounted outside body 1 by means of a pivot 6 passing through a bushing 5a, formed at an end of said cover 5, and secured in a longitudinal seat 7 formed on the bottom side of a transverse flange 8 integral with body 1.
  • Cover 5 is provided with two elongated terminal portions 5b suitable to penetrate body 1, through corresponding slots 1a, and the adjacent cylindrical housings 3, through similar slots not visible in the drawings, up to a position in front of the sleeves 4 so as to prevent access thereto.
  • actuating member that, in the preferred embodiment illustrated in the drawings, consists of a cursor 9 located at the rear side of body 1 towards which it is biased by a pair of coil springs 10 arranged between cursor 9 and a longitudinal wall 11 formed on the bottom side of flange 8 and provided with suitable seats 11a (see Fig.2 and detail of Fig.8 ).
  • cursor 9 has a pair of frontal projections 9a, suitable to penetrate body 1 through corresponding 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 adjacent cylindrical housings 3.
  • cursor 9 has a pair of lateral projections 9b shaped to partially enclose bushings 5a and provided with bottom pegs 9c suitable to engage corresponding grooves 5c formed in the top side of covers 5 at an outermost position with respect to bushings 5a, as better illustrated in the enlarged detail of Fig.5 (where the cylindrical housings 3 are interrupted below cursor 9 and covers 5 for the sake of clarity of the drawing).
  • covers 5 are abutting against body 1 with their terminal portions 5b arranged above sleeves 4, while cursor 9 projects inside body 1 with its frontal projections abutting against the adjacent cylindrical housings 3.
  • This position of the protection device is maintained by springs 10 compressed between cursor 9 and wall 11, and the centripetal force on cursor 9 is transferred to covers 5 through pegs 9c and grooves 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.
  • the protection device arranged below flange 8 is enclosed by a casing (not shown), covers 5 are accessible at the terminal portions 5b projecting into the cylindrical 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 mounted outside body 1, at the front side thereof, by means of a pair of pivots 13 passing through bushings 12a, formed at the top ends of said lever 12, and secured in transverse seats 14 formed on the bottom side of flange 8.
  • lever 12 has a substantially L-shaped section with the bottom edge shaped as an arc of circle to abut against body 1 under the bias of a torsion spring 15, and in that position it locks covers 5 thanks to its bottom ends 12b as shown in Fig.4 and in the detail of Fig.6 .
  • lever 12 has a pair of rear teeth 12c suitable to project inside body 1 passing through corresponding slots 1c.
  • plug 2 encounters the frontal projections 9a of cursor 9 which project inside body 1 through openings 1b, and more precisely the contact occurs at the slanted planes 9aa, as shown in the detail of Fig.8 .
  • the push of plug 2 on the slanted planes 9aa causes cursor 9 to move back overcoming the resistance of springs 10, and this backwards motion results in a rotation of covers 5 around pivots 6 thanks to pegs 9c engaged in grooves 5c.
  • the terminal portions 5b are pulled out of body 1 through slots 1a and the pins of plug 2 have free access to sleeves 4, as shown in Fig.9 .
  • the above-described and illustrated embodiment of the socket according to the invention is just an example susceptible of various modifications.
  • the shape of the covers and of their relevant actuating member can somewhat change while remaining within the present inventive concept.
  • the translating cursor 9 could be replaced with a rotating cursor similar to lever 12 by providing a coupling with covers 5 that converts the rotation of the cursor around a transverse axis into a rotation of the covers around their longitudinal axis.
  • cursor 9 could be altogether absent and plug 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 the cylindrical housings 3 and covers sleeves 4.
  • the covers could be mounted individually in a way similar to the above-described cursor 9, with springs exerting a centripetal bias, while the locking mechanism consisting of lever 12 could remain unchanged.
  • the movement of the two covers could be synchronized by connecting them so as to make the operation of the protection device smoother.
