Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical switch.
  • an electrical switch comprising a base, a driver pivoted in the base between two stable positions to put in contact or out of contact a movable contact element with a fixed contact element, and a compressible element along a compression axis , the compressible element being adapted to be inactive with respect to the driver, to allow the free trainer to take one or the other of the two stable positions, and to be received between a support surface and the coach and forced against the coach, to force the coach to take only one of two stable positions.
  • the compressible element is mounted movable in translation perpendicular to its compression axis so as to be moved laterally (by means of a slider integral with the compressible element) between a rest position, in which the element compressible is away from the trainer (and thus inactive), and an active position, in which the compressible element is received between a bearing surface and the coach and forced against the coach.
  • the electrical switch When the compressible element is away from the trainer, the electrical switch operates as a bistable switch. On the other hand, when the compressible element is situated between the support surface and the trainer and is forced against the trainer, the compressible element bears on the trainer so as to force him to take one of the two stable positions: the electrical switch operates as a monostable push button.
  • the present invention proposes an electrical switch as defined above, wherein the bearing surface is formed on a movable part, along said compression axis, relative to the base between a position remote from the driver, in wherein the compressible member is inactive with respect to the driver, and a bearing position, wherein the compressible member is constrained between the bearing surface and the driver.
  • the electrical switch can reversibly switch from an operating mode to a bistable switch to a monostable pushbutton operating mode.
  • the transition from the operating mode to a bistable switch to the operating mode of a monostable pushbutton is more easily done by moving, along the axis of compression, the part carrying the bearing surface opposite the driver and a return to the Bistable switch mode is possible by moving this piece in the opposite direction. Since the displacement of the bearing surface between the two positions is carried out along the axis of compression, it is consistent with the compression of the compressible element in only one of the two positions.
  • This electrical switch 100; 300 is intended to be housed, for example after mounting on an equipment support (not shown), in a housing (not shown) intended to be mounted on or in a wall, in a projecting or recessed mounting thereof housing on the wall.
  • front and rear will be used relative to the direction of the user's gaze towards the wall on which is reported this electrical switch 100; 300.
  • the front will point to the inward side of the room and the back to the opposite side to the outside of the room.
  • the electrical switch 100; 300 comprises a switching mechanism housed in a base 110; 310 insulation.
  • the base 110; 310 has a body 112; 312 from which extends a side wall 111 forwards; 311. This base 110; 310 is open at the front and has a housing adapted to receive the switching mechanism.
  • the body 112; 312 has a front face 112a; 312a which delimits this housing with the inner face of the side wall 111; 311.
  • the body 112; 312 also has a rear face 112b; 312b opposite the front face 112a; 312a.
  • the switching mechanism comprises a cover 120; 320 which is an insulating part which holds conductive electrical parts housed in the base 110; 310, including electrical connection terminals to be connected to the local electrical network.
  • these electrical connection terminals are self-connecting terminals, so that each of them is operable by a disconnect lever which passes through an opening in the wall of the base 110; 310 to act on a leaf spring of the corresponding terminal adapted to press the stripped end of an electrical conductor against the cage of the connection terminal.
  • Each disconnect lever comprises a control lever 125; 325, carried by the hood 120; 320 and accessible to the user outside said base 110; 310.
  • Hood 120; 320 is for example mounted on the base 110; 310, in the rear portion of the housing defined above, by snapping, here by means of elastic snap tabs 122; 322 formed on the hood 120; 320 which cooperate with complementary elements formed in the base 110; 310, for example recesses 113, 313 formed in the body 112 of the base 110 ( figure 5 ) or in the side wall 311 of the base 310 ( figure 13 ).
  • the switching mechanism housed inside the base 110; 310 also includes a broom 141; 341 adapted to swing about a tilting axis between two extreme positions, to put in contact or out of contact a movable contact element, for example a movable contact bead carried by the wiper, with at least one fixed contact element, for example a fixed contact ground carried by a contact blade electrically connected to one of the electrical connection terminals.
  • a movable contact element for example a movable contact bead carried by the wiper
  • at least one fixed contact element for example a fixed contact ground carried by a contact blade electrically connected to one of the electrical connection terminals.
  • the switching mechanism also includes a driver 130; 330 mounted tilting on the base 110; 310 by means of two pins 133; 333 trained on the coach 130; 330 which are respectively engaged in two corresponding bearings 118; 318 formed in the base 110; 310, for example at the top of two projections 117 of the body 112 of the base 110 ( figure 5 ) or in a side wall 311 of the base 310 ( figure 13 ), thereby providing a tilting axis of the driver 130; 330 in the base 110; 310.
  • the coach 130; 330 is an insulating part, made for example of plastic by molding.
  • the coach 130; 330 has two arms 132, 134; 332, 334, which extend respectively on either side of the tilt axis, and a chimney 136; 336 which extends rearward, substantially perpendicular to the plane formed by the arms 132, 134; 332, 334, at the level of the tilting axis, through an opening 124; 324 provided for this purpose in the hood 120; 320.
  • the hood 120; 320 is mounted in the housing formed in the base 110; 310 between the body 112; 312 of the base 110; 310 and the coach 130; 330.
  • the switching mechanism finally comprises elastic rocking means 142; 342 (here a spring mounted in the chimney 136; 336 formed on the coach 130; 330) which are able, after crossing a hard point, to solicit the brush 141; 341 towards one or the other of its extreme positions according to the position of the trainer 130; 330.
  • elastic rocking means 142; 342 here a spring mounted in the chimney 136; 336 formed on the coach 130; 330
  • the user controls the tilting of the resilient tilting means 142; 342, and therefore of the broom 141; 341, so as to put in contact or out contact the movable contact element with the fixed contact element.
  • the body 112; 312 of the base 110; 310 has in a lateral region, near the side wall 111 ( Figures 1, 2 and 5 ) or at the side wall 311 ( Figures 8, 9 and 13 ), a through housing 115; 315 which receives a piece 150; 350 having a bearing surface 152; 352 for a compressible element, here a spring 160; 360, longitudinally extending substantially perpendicular to the driver and defining in this direction of longitudinal extension a compression axis.

  • the spring 160; 360 thus extends along its axis of compression, which corresponds to the axis of the through housing 115; 315.
  • room 150 350 forming a bearing surface 152; 352 for the spring 160; 360 is of generally cylindrical shape and has fins 154; 354 which extend laterally and cooperate with a cam path 116; 316 formed in the body 112; 312 of base 110; 310 at the through-housing 115; 315 (see in particular the figures 6 and 12 ) so as to stop the piece 150; 350 rearwards in at least two positions (longitudinal along the axis of the through housing 115, that is to say along the axis of compression of the spring 160; 360) as a function of its angular position in the housing through 115: a remote position of the trainer 130; 330 in which the spring 160; 360 (received, as already indicated, between the workpiece 150; 350 and the driver 130; 330) is not compressed and is therefore not active, and a bearing position in which the spring 160; 360 is compressed between the bearing surface 152; 352 and the rear portion of the arm 132; 332 of

  • the actuating element is a relief 156 formed in a head 155 of the workpiece 150 and adapted to cooperate with a tool (for example a screwdriver).
  • a tool for example a screwdriver
  • the head 155 also carries the fins 154 above, as clearly visible in FIG. figure 7 .
  • the installer can rotate the workpiece 150 which then follows the cam path 116 and consequently takes the remote position or the support position according to its angular position. in the through housing 115.
  • the cam path 116 comprises, on each side of the through-housing 115, a groove, a bearing zone (located forwardly relative to the bottom of the groove) and, between the groove and the bearing zone, an intermediate part (located forward with respect to the support zone).
  • each fin To move from the groove to the support zone, each fin must cross the intermediate part, which is possible only when a force exerted by the user (here usually the installer), typically by pressing on the head 155 by means of a screwdriver, compresses the spring 160 and advances the fins 154 beyond the intermediate portion, which allows the rotation of the piece 150 to place each fin 154 to the right of the support zone.
  • the passage of the part 150 from the remote position to the support position is thus possible only by choice of the installer, and can not be performed unexpectedly.
  • the piece then reaches its support position represented in figure 2 .
  • the installer wishes to bring the part 150 of the support position (in which the spring 160 is constrained between the bearing surface 152 of the part 150 and the arm 132 of the driver 130) to the position remote, it exerts (by means of a screwdriver, through the rear portion of the through housing 115) a forward force on the part 150, which compresses a little more spring 160 and allows to advance each fin 154 beyond the intermediate portion of the cam path 116; the part 150 can then be rotated by the screwdriver so that each fin 154 regains the groove of the cam path (which corresponds to the position distant from the part 150).
  • the actuating element is a plug 370 mounted in the rear portion of the through housing 315 and which drives the workpiece 350 carrying the bearing surface 352 in rotation (and thus in translation between the remote position and the support position thanks to the cam path 316) when it is moved forward by the user (here the installer), as explained now.
  • the plug 370 is generally cylindrical in shape and comprises a plurality of studs 372 (here 8 studs) projecting from its lateral surface and equidistributed around the circumference of the cap 370. It is noted that the lateral size of the cap 370 at the level of the studs 372 is less than the lateral size of the part 350 at the fins 354. Moreover, the number of pads 372 (here 8) is twice the number of fins 354 (here 4).
  • the plug 370 also comprises a central recess 376 (of cylindrical shape with the same axis as the plug 370) intended to receive a cylindrical complementary portion 356 of the part 350 forming a bearing surface 352.
  • the cap finally comprises, on a front portion surrounding the central recess 376, a plurality of inclined faces 374 intended to cooperate as explained hereinafter with inclined end surfaces 358 of the fins 354 of the part 350.
  • the inner surface of the through housing 315 has a plurality of longitudinal projections 319 (in number equal to the pads 372 of the cap 370, here 8 longitudinal projections) which define between them as many longitudinal grooves 314 adapted to receive the pads 372 of the plug 370 up to a rear stop, as well as the fins 354 of the workpiece 350.
  • a groove 314 of two (here 4 grooves) is also partially filled by a stop element 317 designed to provide sufficient space in the groove 314 to accommodate a stud 372 over the entire length of the groove 314 and to form a stop, at the front of the abutment element 317, for a fin 354 of the part 350 forming a bearing surface 352.
  • the installer can then push the cap 370 forwards, which plug then drives the piece 350 forming a bearing surface 352 forwards, which causes the compression of the spring (as shown in FIG. figure 9 ).
  • This movement of pure translation of the workpiece 350 continues until each fin 354 leaves its groove 314, which allows the rotation of the workpiece 350 on herself.
  • the part 350 is driven in translation towards the rear because of the compression of the spring 360, until each fin 354 abuts against the front part of the abutment member 317: the workpiece 350 is in its bearing position, in which the spring 360 is constrained between the bearing surface 352 and the arm of the driver 332 and the switch operates as a monostable switch.
  • each fin 354 can then at any time again the plug 370, which causes each fin 354 to exit the groove 314 (with abutment element 317) which receives it and thus allows the rotation of the workpiece 350 by cooperation of the inclined faces 374 and the inclined end surfaces 358 , until each fin 354 is in line with a groove 314 without abutment element: the release of the force on the plug 370 by the installer will then cause the return of the workpiece 350 to its remote position, wherein the spring 360 is not compressed and the electrical switch 300 operates as a bistable switch.
