Definitions

  • the invention refers to improvements to a connector assembly/centring device, the connector consisting of a mechanical connector with fasteners especially designed to secure one or more cables inserted into it by means of screws, and the centring device consisting of an element that covers the outside of the body of the connector in the form of a cover.
  • the primary purpose of the invention is to achieve, in addition to the same functions that were already present in the mechanical connector device with a built-in cable centring device, purpose of the Spanish patent no. 200602698 , that the metal connector is totally sealed and electrically insulated once the cable has been inserted in said connector and has been immobilised by the corresponding clamping screw/s.
  • An additional purpose of the invention is to achieve a mechanical connector device with a built-in cable centring device, having a different identifier element for each of the electrical phases (such as the phases U, V, Z of a three-phase electrical system), allowing the operator to easily identify visually the type of cable (for example U, V, Z) in the connector, which is an enormous advantage when fitting cables, as well as for maintenance, as it enables substantial time saving by eliminating the need to measure each phase that heretofore had to be done by the operator so as to identify them.
  • the present invention consists of a connector assembly comprising at least:
  • This particular configuration of the connector enables, once the electric cable/s (as applicable) have been inserted inside the metal connector and the clamping screw/s have been secured by threading into their respective orifices, coinciding in the three members that form the connector (namely in the connector, the intermediate component and the centring device), and said screw/s have been duly broken off at their narrowing, then the user turns the centring component with regard to the intermediate component until it totally covers the hole/s and consequently insulates electrically and hermetically the inside of the connector from the outside, namely the cable, and all the live parts such as the connector, which is metal.
  • the entry of moisture and liquids product of the weather that could affect connectivity between the gripping screw/s and the cable is impeded, and on the other, the cable and its live parts are totally insulated, as there are no metal parts (which could be live) which after assembly are on the outside can be touched by the user, with the resulting danger.
  • the materials used, both for the intermediate component and the centring device are insulating, as both are parts that are outside when the connector assembly is fitted and hence can be touched and manipulated by an operator.
  • the body of the connector has no modification inside, with regard to the configuration described in the main patent, therefore its use remains the same, namely the user places the cable/s inside it, inserting them by the rim of the connector body, then the clamping screw/s are placed in their respective threaded through hole/s in the wall of the connector, until the tightening torque exceeds the breakage torque and the upper part of the screw/s breaks off, the lower part remaining threaded and securing the cable/s without projecting above the surface of the connector, so the user may turn manual and easily (between 45° - 315°, preferably 180°) the centring device on the intermediate component and on the connector, so that the area with holes where the respective clamping screw/s have been inserted are hidden and covered below the cylindrical surface of the centring device.
  • the intermediate component which is insulating and hence not live. Therefore, there is total electrical insulation on the outside of the connector assembly and also total sealing of the cable/s as well as the metal connector.
  • the present invention may have several different configurations, according to the type of metal connector.
  • the intermediate component is made preferably of insulating material with certain flexibility, such plastic, although other materials different to plastic and with similar properties can also be used. With these properties of flexibility and deformability, the user can easily fit the intermediate component on one side of the connector in the correct position, namely coinciding the respective hole/s of the connector with those of the intermediate component, and on the other hand the centring device turns easily with regard to the intermediate component once the corresponding clamping screws have been positioned and broken off when tightening.
  • an internal conical portion to retain the cable, the function of which is to secure the cable in its position when it is fitted inside.
  • the intermediate component has on its outer surface some means for securing the identifier ring composed preferably of a cylindrical recess with a width and depth sufficient to hold the identifier ring. Additionally, it may have on its outer surface some means to retain the centring device formed preferably by a second cylindrical recess with a width and depth sufficient to hold the centring device.
  • the centring device is preferably made of an insulating material and with greater stiffness than the intermediate component, such as plastic, although other materials plastic with similar properties can also be used, so it may be fitted to said intermediate component easily without slipping, and can also be turned manually by the user with regard to its longitudinal axis, so as to cover the hole/s on the intermediate component.
  • the intermediate component such as plastic, although other materials plastic with similar properties can also be used, so it may be fitted to said intermediate component easily without slipping, and can also be turned manually by the user with regard to its longitudinal axis, so as to cover the hole/s on the intermediate component.
  • the identifier ring projects above the centring device, and the intermediate component has a slightly recessed surface to hold said ring, fitted manually in the recessed area.
  • the connector assembly (10) is formed by a connector (11), surrounded by an intermediate component (13), and this is surrounded by a centring device (12).
  • said connector (11) preferably made of metal, has a cylindrical tubular body (11) with some threaded through holes (15) on the side surface of said cylindrical body (11) near its rim (27), and into which the respective screws (16) will be threaded, one in each hole (15).
  • the rim (27) On the opposite part, the rim (27), an end part, that may be terminal type (19), see Figures 1-8 , or connector type (19'), see Figures 9-12 .
  • the attached drawings show two different preferred embodiments of the connector, one which has a single threaded through hole (15), and another with two threaded through holes (15), although there could also be other variants.
  • an intermediate component (13) Surrounding the exterior body (11) of the connector (10) there is an intermediate component (13), preferably made of insulating plastic material with certain flexibility, also cylindrical and tubular, with one or more holes on its upper part (18). In addition, it may have on its outer surface a cylindrical recess (28) to hold the identifier ring (17) into said recess (28) and another cylindrical recess (29) to hold the centring device (12) into said recess (29), see Figure 5 .
  • the centring device preferably made of a stiffer insulating material than the intermediate component, is preferably cylindrical and shorter than the intermediate component, and which also has one or more holes coinciding in size and position with the holes in the connector and on the intermediate part.
  • the centring device is fitted on the outer surface of the intermediate component (13), inserting it in the corresponding part to the rim (27) of the connector (11), and remaining in position in a recess (29) in the outer surface of said intermediate component (13), see Figure 5 .
