- the invention is implemented on a module equipped with a relay, but the same module can also be equipped with several relays.
- the system according to the invention which is represented in the figure 1 1 being provided with a base 2 equipped with an electrical contact 3 and a module 4 equipped with another electrical contact 6, the module 4 being adapted to fit into the base to be electrically connected to the this.
- the base has a hollow shape delimiting a cavity 7 generally parallelepipedic and extending along a longitudinal axis AX to form the female element.
- the module comprises a cover 8 carrying a body 9 having a generally parallelepipedal male shape adapted to engage in the cavity 7 of the base being moved parallel and in the direction AX.
- the electrical contact 6 is located at the free end of the body 9 protruding from this end, while the electrical contact 3 is located in the bottom of the cavity 7 being connected to a connection terminal 5 of the base to a cable.
- the body 9 of the module is a plastic or metal element incorporating several electrical components and which is equipped with a mechanical locking member 11.
- This mechanical locking member is here a flexible lever which longitudinally covers a portion of the body 9 in s extending in the direction AX.
- This flexible lever 11 has an end by which it is rigidly secured to the free end of the body 9, and an opposite end, free and located in the vicinity of the cover 8. This other end is movable so that it can be either close to or away from the body 9.
- This lever 11 which continuously tends to deviate from the body 9 has a locking lug 12 which protrudes radially relative to the axis AX.
- the lug 12 is engaged in a corresponding housing 13 formed in a lateral internal side of the cavity 7 to retain the body 9 in the base.

- the module 4 comprises a blocking sensor 16 which is sensitive to the position of the lever 11.
- This blocking sensor 16 makes it possible to determine whether this lever 11 is in a state of locking or locking, or if it is on the contrary in an unlock state. In the lock state that corresponds to the figure 1 , the free end of the lever 11 is spaced from the body 9, whereas in the unlocked state, the free end of this lever is on the contrary close to the body 9.
- the locking sensor 16 here comprises a permanent magnet 17 installed in the end of the lever 11, and a Hall effect sensor 18 mounted in the body 9 to the right of this permanent magnet.
- This blocking sensor 16 detects that the lever is in a blocking state when the permanent magnet that it integrates is spaced from the Hall effect probe. It detects that this lever is in unlocked state when on the contrary its permanent magnet is close to the Hall effect probe.

- both Hall effect probes 18 and 21 are carried by the same circuit board 23 which is housed inside the body 9.
- This body 9 also incorporates another printed circuit, indicated by 24, and which carries an electrical relay 26.
- This other printed circuit 24 and the relay 26 that it carries are connected on the one hand to a power supply cable of the module not shown, and secondly to the contact 6 of the module 4.
- the contact 6 is thus electrically powered when the relay 26 is electrically closed, and it is on the contrary disconnected as soon as this relay 6 is open.
- the relay 26 thus makes it possible to decouple the module from the base when it is electrically open, and to couple the module to the base when it is electrically closed.
- the relay 26 is controlled by components not shown to be open if the locking sensor 16 detects that the member 11 is in an unlocked state or if the presence sensor 19 detects that the body 9 is absent from the base 2. In other words, the electrical relay 26 is controlled to be electrically closed only if the sensor 16 detects that the member 11 is in a blocking state and that the presence sensor 19 detects that the body 9 is present in the base 2.
- the lug 12 and the groove 13 are dimensioned in view of the sensitivity of the sensors 16 and 19, so that when removing the module after depressing the lever 11, the release of the lever and the subsequent detection of the state blocking by the sensor 16 takes place once the presence sensor 19 has detected that the driver 9 is absent from the base.
- the lug 12 has a length along the axis AX which is sufficient so that during the withdrawal, the release of the lever 11 to its locking position is possible only after a stroke such that the sensor 19 then detects necessarily that the module is absent from the base.
- the length of the lug 12 is thus greater than the detection distance of the presence sensor 19 in the direction AX, the housing 13 having meanwhile substantially the same length along the axis AX.
- the unlocking sensor can not return to a blocking state before the presence sensor starts to detect that the module is missing.
- each electrical relay 26 is dimensioned and designed to have a breaking capacity sufficient to interrupt the nominal current of the system, while the contacts 3 and 6 are not designed to withstand a cut-off. rated current of the system by their separation without being damaged.
- the blocking sensor 16 detects that the lever 11 is in a release state, and it sends a signal corresponding to a control unit of the relay 26 which actually controls the opening of this relay, if it was in a closed state to power the electric receiver.
- the presence sensor 19 changes state to detect the absence of the module of the base, which produces the emission by this sensor of a signal corresponding to the destination of the control unit, not shown, of the electrical relay 26.
- the relay 26 when the operator inserts the module 4 inside the base 2, the relay 26 is initially open, and it is during the insertion that the sensors 19 and 16 change successively state.
- the blocking sensor 16 sends a blocked state detection signal to the control unit and the presence sensor 19 sends this unit a presence detection signal of the module in the base 2, this unit controls the closing the relay 26 to allow current to flow into the body 9 and consequently into the contacts 3 and 6.
- the module comprises a single locking lever 11, but the system could comprise a plurality of locking members, for example a lever on each side of the body.
- the presence sensor and the blocking sensor it can be Hall effect sensors as in the example of the figures but also any suitable type of sensor such as sensors type electric contactor.

Description
L'invention concerne un système comprenant une embase et un module s'insérant mécaniquement dans cette embase pour y être électriquement connecté, tout en pouvant être retiré de cette embase pour en être déconnecté sans risque y compris si ce retrait n'est pas précédé d'une mise hors tension.The invention relates to a system comprising a base and a module mechanically inserted in this base to be electrically connected, while being removable from the base to be disconnected without risk, even if this withdrawal is not preceded by a power off.
Un tel module débrochable comporte un jeu de contacts électriques et permet d'alimenter un ou plusieurs récepteurs électriques depuis une embase prévue à cet effet, pour établir par exemple une alimentation sous 200 volt avec une intensité pouvant atteindre 10A.Such a withdrawable module comprises a set of electrical contacts and makes it possible to supply one or more electrical receivers from a base provided for this purpose, for example to establish a power supply at 200 volts with an intensity of up to 10A.
Un tel module est équipé de relais électriques commandés par un système externe via un bus de données, chaque relais permettant ainsi d'établir ou d'interrompre l'alimentation électrique d'un récepteur électrique alimenté via l'embase à laquelle est connecté ce module.Such a module is equipped with electrical relays controlled by an external system via a data bus, each relay thus making it possible to establish or interrupt the power supply of an electric receiver powered via the base to which this module is connected. .
Préalablement au retrait d'un tel module, il est ainsi nécessaire de commander l'ouverture des relais en question afin de couper l'alimentation électrique du module avant le débrochage de manière à éviter l'apparition d'un arc électrique.Prior to the removal of such a module, it is thus necessary to control the opening of the relays in question in order to cut off the power supply of the module before unplugging so as to avoid the appearance of an electric arc.
Néanmoins, si le module est retiré en service alors que pour une raison ou une autre, ses relais n'ont pas été ouverts, ce retrait peut provoquer l'établissement d'un arc électrique entre les contacts du module et ceux de l'embase, ce qui est préjudiciable à la sécurité d'utilisation d'un tel système.However, if the module is removed from service for any reason, its relays have not been opened, this removal may cause an arcing between the module contacts and the module contacts. , which is detrimental to the safe use of such a system.

Avec cet agencement, le module est déconnecté dès que l'opérateur commence à le débloquer, et il ne risque pas de se reconnecter au cours de son retrait de l'embase.With this arrangement, the module is disconnected as soon as the operator starts to unlock, and it is not likely to reconnect during removal from the base.

L'idée à la base de l'invention est d'intégrer au système formé par le module et son embase, un capteur de blocage du module et un capteur de présence du module, avec un relais électrique commandé par ces capteurs pour s'ouvrir dès qu'un déblocage ou qu'une absence de module est détectée, en assurant que le capteur de blocage ne puisse pas repasser dans l'état de blocage avant que le capteur de présence ne commence à détecter l'absence du module.The idea underlying the invention is to integrate in the system formed by the module and its base, a module blocking sensor and a module presence sensor, with an electrical relay controlled by these sensors to open. as soon as a release or no module is detected, ensuring that the blocking sensor can not return to the blocking state before the presence sensor starts to detect the absence of the module.
Dans l'exemple décrit ci-après, l'invention est mise en oeuvre sur un module équipé d'un relais, mais un même module peut aussi bien être équipé de plusieurs relais.In the example described below, the invention is implemented on a module equipped with a relay, but the same module can also be equipped with several relays.
Le système selon l'invention qui est représenté dans la
Comme visible dans la figure, l'embase a une forme creuse délimitant une cavité 7 généralement parallélépipédique et s'étendant selon un axe longitudinal AX pour constituer l'élément femelle. Le module comporte un couvercle 8 portant un corps 9 ayant une forme mâle généralement parallélépipédique apte à s'engager dans la cavité 7 de l'embase en étant déplacé parallèlement et selon la direction AX.As shown in the figure, the base has a hollow shape delimiting a
Le contact électrique 6 est situé à l'extrémité libre du corps 9 en dépassant de cette extrémité, alors que le contact électrique 3 est situé dans le fond de la cavité 7 en étant relié à une borne 5 de connexion de l'embase à un câble.The
Le corps 9 du module est un élément en matière plastique ou métallique intégrant plusieurs composants électriques et qui est équipé d'un organe de blocage mécanique 11. Cet organe mécanique de blocage est ici un levier flexible qui couvre longitudinalement une portion du corps 9 en s'étendant selon la direction AX.The
Ce levier flexible 11 comporte une extrémité par laquelle il est rigidement solidarisé à l'extrémité libre du corps 9, et une extrémité opposée, libre et située au voisinage du couvercle 8. Cette autre extrémité est mobile en pouvant être soit rapprochée soit éloignée du corps 9.This
Ce levier 11 qui tend continuellement à s'écarter du corps 9 comporte un ergot de blocage 12 qui dépasse radialement par rapport à l'axe AX. Lorsque le module 4 est en place dans la cavité 7 et que le levier 11 est relâché, l'ergot 12 est engagé dans un logement correspondant 13 ménagé dans un flanc interne latéral de la cavité 7 pour retenir ce corps 9 dans l'embase.This
Comme visible sur la
Ce levier 11 comporte encore un bouton 14 qui dépasse radialement comme l'ergot, mais qui est situé entre l'embase 2 et le couvercle 8 du module 4 en place dans l'embase.This
Dans cette situation qui correspond à celle de la
Le module 4 comporte un capteur de blocage 16 qui est sensible à la position du levier 11. Ce capteur de blocage 16 permet de déterminer si ce levier 11 est dans un état de verrouillage ou de blocage, ou bien s'il est au contraire dans un état de déverrouillage. Dans l'état de verrouillage qui correspond à la
Le capteur de blocage 16 comporte ici un aimant permanent 17 installé dans l'extrémité du levier 11, et une sonde à effet Hall 18 montée dans le corps 9 au droit de cet aimant permanent. Ce capteur de blocage 16 détecte que le levier est dans un état de blocage lorsque l'aimant permanant qu'elle intègre est espacé de la sonde à effet Hall. Il détecte que ce levier est en état de déblocage lorsqu'au contraire son aimant permanent est rapproché de la sonde à effet Hall.The
Le système est aussi pourvu d'un capteur de présence 19 qui détecte la présence ou l'absence du module 4 dans l'embase 2. Ce capteur comporte là aussi un aimant permanent 22 monté dans le fond de l'embase 2, et une sonde à effet Hall 21 installée en extrémité du corps 9 au droit de l'aimant 22 lorsque le module est en place dans l'embase.The system is also provided with a
Le capteur de présence détecte que le module est dans l'embase lorsque sa sonde à effet Hall 21 détecte la proximité de l'aimant permanent 22, et il détecte que le module 4 est hors de l'embase lorsque 2 lorsque l'aimant permanent 22 n'est plus détecté par la sonde 21, c'est-à-dire lorsqu'il est au-delà de la distance de détection de la sonde 21.The presence sensor detects that the module is in the base when its
Comme représenté schématiquement dans la
Ce corps 9 intègre également un autre circuit imprimé, repéré par 24, et qui porte un relais électrique 26. Cet autre circuit imprimé 24 et le relais 26 qu'il porte sont connectés d'une part à un câble d'alimentation électrique du module non représenté, et d'autre part au contact 6 du module 4. Le contact 6 est ainsi alimenté électriquement lorsque le relais 26 est électriquement fermé, et il est au contraire déconnecté dès que ce relais 6 est ouvert. Le relais 26 permet ainsi de découpler le module de l'embase lorsqu'il est électriquement ouvert, et de coupler le module à l'embase lorsqu'il est électriquement fermé.This
Le relais 26 est piloté par des composants non représentés pour être ouvert si le capteur de blocage 16 détecte que l'organe 11 est dans un état débloqué ou si le capteur de présence 19 détecte que le corps 9 est absent de l'embase 2. Autrement dit, le relais électrique 26 est piloté pour être électriquement fermé uniquement si le capteur 16 détecte que l'organe 11 est dans un état de blocage et que le capteur de présence 19 détecte que le corps 9 est présent dans l'embase 2.The
Par ailleurs, l'ergot 12 et la rainure 13 sont dimensionnés au vu de la sensibilité des capteurs 16 et 19, de telle manière que lors du retrait du module après enfoncement du levier 11, le relâchement du levier et la détection subséquente de l'état de blocage par le capteur 16 n'a lieu qu'une fois que le capteur de présence 19 a détecté que le conducteur 9 est absent de l'embase.Furthermore, the
Autrement dit, l'ergot 12 présente une longueur selon l'axe AX qui est suffisante pour que durant le retrait, le relâchement du levier 11 vers sa position de blocage n'est possible qu'après une course telle que le capteur 19 détecte alors nécessairement que le module est absent de l'embase.In other words, the
La longueur de l'ergot 12 est ainsi supérieure à la distance de détection du capteur de présence 19 selon la direction AX, le logement 13 ayant quant à lui sensiblement la même longueur le long de l'axe AX.The length of the
On obtient ainsi un recouvrement entre le changement d'état du capteur de blocage et le changement d'état du capteur de présence : durant le retrait, le capteur de déblocage ne risque pas de repasser en état de blocage avant que le capteur de présence ne commence à détecter que le module est absent.Thus, an overlap is obtained between the change of state of the blocking sensor and the change of state of the presence sensor: during the withdrawal, the unlocking sensor can not return to a blocking state before the presence sensor starts to detect that the module is missing.
Par ailleurs, et comme on l'aura compris, chaque relais électrique 26 est dimensionné et conçu pour présenter un pouvoir de coupure suffisant pour interrompre le courant nominal du système, alors que les contacts 3 et 6 ne sont pas conçus pour supporter une coupure du courant nominal du système par leur séparation sans être endommagés.Furthermore, and as will be understood, each
En fonctionnement, lorsque l'opérateur souhaite déconnecter le module 4, il appuie sur le bouton 14 pour le rapprocher du corps 9, ce qui a pour effet de débloquer mécaniquement le module 4 de l'embase dans laquelle il est emboîté.In operation, when the operator wishes to disconnect the
A ce stade, qui correspond à celui de la
Le courant électrique ne passe alors plus dans le module et à travers les contacts 3 et 6, ce qui autorise le début du retrait du module 4 de l'embase 2, comme illustré en
A un instant ou un autre durant cette phase de début du retrait du module, le capteur de présence 19 change d'état pour détecter l'absence du module de l'embase, ce qui produit l'émission par ce capteur d'un signal correspondant à destination de l'unité de commande non représentée du relais électrique 26.At one moment or another during this phase of beginning the withdrawal of the module, the
Le retrait du module est alors continué pour atteindre l'état de la
A l'inverse, comme on l'aura compris, lorsque l'opérateur insère le module 4 à l'intérieur de l'embase 2, le relais 26 est initialement ouvert, et c'est durant l'insertion que les capteurs 19 et 16 changent successivement d'état. Lorsque le capteur de blocage 16 adresse à l'unité de commande un signal de détection d'état bloqué et que le capteur de présence 19 adresse à cette unité un signal de détection de présence du module dans l'embase 2, cette unité commande la fermeture du relais 26 pour permettre le passage de courant dans le corps 9 et par suite dans les contacts 3 et 6.Conversely, as will be understood, when the operator inserts the
Dans l'exemple des figures, le module comporte un seul levier de blocage 11, mais le système pourrait comporter plusieurs organes de blocage, par exemple un levier de chaque côté du corps. En ce qui concerne le capteur de présence et le capteur de blocage, il peut s'agir de capteurs à effet Hall comme dans l'exemple des figures mais aussi de tout type de capteur approprié comme par exemple les capteurs de type contacteur électrique.In the example of the figures, the module comprises a
D'une manière générale, le temps de réaction des capteurs pour piloter le relais est suffisamment court, typiquement de l'ordre de 10 millisecondes, pour que l'opérateur ne puisse pas retirer le module assez-vite pour que la séparation des contacts se produise avant l'ouverture du relais.In general, the response time of the sensors for controlling the relay is sufficiently short, typically of the order of 10 milliseconds, so that the operator can not remove the module fast enough for the separation of the contacts to occur. produce before the relay opens.
L'invention permet de détecter le débrochage en combinant le capteur de blocage et le capteur de présence avec un dimensionnement assurant que durant le retrait, le levier reste en état de déblocage tant que le capteur de présence détecte que le module est dans l'embase.The invention makes it possible to detect the disconnection by combining the blocking sensor and the presence sensor with a dimensioning ensuring that during the withdrawal, the lever remains in the unlocking state as long as the presence sensor detects that the module is in the base .
L'invention s'applique au cas où le module est destiné au transfert de puissance électrique, mais elle s'applique aussi à un module d'acquisition de signaux externes ou de données. Dans le cas d'acquisition de signaux, le signal issu du capteur de déblocage et de présence du module permet d'inhiber toute acquisition de signal préalablement à la séparation effective des contacts électriques pour ne pas donner lieu à une transmission erronée.The invention applies in the case where the module is intended for the transfer of electrical power, but it also applies to a module for acquiring external signals or data. In the case of signal acquisition, the signal from the deblocking and presence sensor of the module makes it possible to inhibit any signal acquisition prior to the effective separation of the electrical contacts so as not to give rise to an erroneous transmission.
