Description
La présente invention concerne de manière générale le domaine des installations électriques. Elle vise en particulier une prise électrique comprenant au moins deux alvéoles de réception d'une broche de contact électrique, et un circuit imprimé relié électriquement aux alvéoles. La présente invention vise également un procédé d'assemblage d'une telle prise électrique.The present invention relates generally to the field of electrical installations. In particular, it relates to an electrical outlet comprising at least two receptor cells for receiving an electrical contact pin, and a printed circuit electrically connected to the cells. The present invention also relates to a method of assembling such an electrical outlet.
De telles prises électriques combinent les fonctionnalités d'une prise électrique « classique », typiquement une prise encastrée destinée à recevoir une fiche électrique, à des fonctionnalités complémentaires liées au circuit imprimé. Ces prises électriques trouvent par exemple leur application ou usage dans le domaine de l'Internet des objets, en tant que prises connectées via un réseau de communication de données de type Internet.Such electrical outlets combine the functionality of a "conventional" electrical outlet, typically a recessed socket for receiving an electrical plug, to complementary functionalities related to the printed circuit. These electrical outlets are for example their application or use in the field of the Internet of Things, as outlets connected via an Internet-type data communication network.
Il est connu des prises électriques comprenant au moins deux alvéoles de réception d'une broche de contact électrique, et un circuit imprimé relié électriquement aux alvéoles. Un exemple de prise électrique de ce genre est connu du document
Dans une prise classique, et a fortiori dans une telle prise électrique, il est toutefois essentiel que les alvéoles de réception soient positionnées et ajustées avec le minimum de jeu possible au sein des compartiments dédiés du socle. En effet, ceci permet de garantir un fonctionnement correct entre les alvéoles de la prise et les broches de la fiche, notamment en termes de pression exercée par les alvéoles sur les broches, de qualité du contact électrique établi et de limitation des échauffements.In a conventional socket, and a fortiori in such an electrical outlet, it is however essential that the receiving cells are positioned and adjusted with the minimum possible play within the dedicated compartments of the base. Indeed, this ensures proper operation between the cells of the socket and the pins of the plug, in particular in terms of pressure exerted by the cells on the pins, the quality of the established electrical contact and limitation of heating.
Toutefois, l'un des problèmes liés à la prise électrique telle que décrite dans le document
La prise électrique de l'invention vise à remédier à tout ou partie des inconvénients de l'état de la technique et vise notamment à proposer une prise électrique munie d'alvéoles de réception reliées électriquement à un circuit imprimé, permettant un assemblage simple de la prise tout en présentant des performances améliorées pour les alvéoles.The electrical socket of the invention aims to remedy all or part of the disadvantages of the state of the art and aims in particular to provide an electrical socket provided with receiving cells electrically connected to a printed circuit, allowing a simple assembly of the taken while exhibiting improved performance for the cells.
Cet objectif est atteint grâce à une prise électrique comprenant :
- un socle muni d'un logement intérieur, le logement intérieur du socle débouchant sur une ouverture centrale ;
- un circuit imprimé agencé au sein du logement intérieur du socle ;
- au moins deux alvéoles de réception d'une broche de contact électrique, chaque alvéole étant agencée au sein du logement intérieur du socle de sorte à être disposée en regard de l'ouverture centrale, et présentant une portion directement connectée (c'est-à-dire sans élément intermédiaire, par exemple par soudage) au circuit imprimé, chaque alvéole étant destinée à recevoir une broche de contact électrique d'une fiche électrique, et étant propre à enserrer cette broche de sorte à maintenir un contact électrique entre la broche et l'alvéole ;
- a base provided with an inner housing, the inner housing of the base opening on a central opening;
- a printed circuit arranged within the inner housing of the base;
- at least two receiving cells of an electrical contact pin, each cell being arranged within the inner housing of the base so as to be disposed facing the central opening, and having a directly connected portion (ie say without intermediate element, for example by welding) to the printed circuit, each cell being intended to receive an electrical contact pin of an electrical plug, and being adapted to grip this pin so as to maintain an electrical contact between the pin and the cell;
Ainsi, cette solution permet d'atteindre l'objectif précité. En particulier, grâce à la combinaison entre une pièce monobloc dédiée munie des compartiments de réception des alvéoles et des moyens de fixation amovible de cette pièce au sein du socle, la prise électrique selon l'invention permet avantageusement de pouvoir agencer et ajuster d'abord les alvéoles au sein des compartiments de la pièce monobloc, puis de connecter les alvéoles au circuit imprimé et enfin de fixer l'ensemble au sein du socle. Ainsi, les alvéoles sont facilement et précisément ajustées dans leurs compartiments respectifs, avec un jeu minimal entre les alvéoles et les compartiments. Les performances des alvéoles sont ainsi significativement améliorées. En outre, l'assemblage de la prise électrique selon l'invention est simple, précis et intuitif.Thus, this solution makes it possible to achieve the aforementioned objective. In particular, thanks to the combination between a dedicated monoblock piece provided with cell receiving compartments and removable attachment means of this piece within the base, the electrical socket according to the invention advantageously allows to arrange and first adjust the cells within the compartments of the single piece, then connect the cells to the printed circuit and finally to fix the assembly within the base. Thus, the cells are easily and precisely adjusted in their respective compartments, with a minimum clearance between the cells and the compartments. The performances of the cells are thus significantly improved. In addition, the assembly of the electrical socket according to the invention is simple, precise and intuitive.
Selon une caractéristique technique de l'invention, les moyens de fixation amovible comportent au moins une butée de blocage sur le socle, et au moins une partie sur la pièce monobloc apte à coopérer avec la butée de blocage pour permettre une insertion en position de maintien ferme de la pièce monobloc au sein du socle, le socle présentant au moins une paroi intérieure, ladite paroi intérieure comportant ladite butée de blocage, ladite partie faisant saillie depuis une paroi extérieure de la pièce monobloc.According to a technical feature of the invention, the removable fixing means comprise at least one locking stop on the base, and at least one part on the one-piece piece adapted to cooperate with the locking stop to allow insertion into the holding position. closing the integral piece within the base, the base having at least one inner wall, said inner wall having said locking stop, said portion projecting from an outer wall of the one-piece piece.
Une telle configuration permet de faciliter la fixation de la pièce monobloc au sein du logement intérieur du socle. Par ailleurs, du fait du blocage ferme de la pièce monobloc au sein du socle, les sollicitations mécaniques successives que vont engendrer la mise en place et l'extraction de la fiche électrique dans la prise sont avantageusement supportées par le socle lui-même, et non plus par les portions des alvéoles connectées au circuit imprimé. Ainsi, le risque de détérioration de ces portions connectées des alvéoles, du à ces sollicitations mécaniques, est réduit.Such a configuration facilitates the attachment of the one-piece piece within the inner housing of the base. Moreover, because of the firm blocking of the one-piece part within the base, the successive mechanical stresses that will cause the introduction and extraction of the electrical plug into the socket are advantageously supported by the base itself, and no longer by the portions of the cells connected to the printed circuit. Thus, the risk of deterioration of these connected portions of the cells, due to these mechanical stresses, is reduced.
Selon une autre caractéristique technique de l'invention, la prise électrique comporte en outre des moyens de fixation amovible de chaque alvéole à son compartiment de réception, chaque alvéole étant fixée de manière amovible au sein dudit compartiment.According to another technical feature of the invention, the electrical socket further comprises means for removably attaching each cell to its receiving compartment, each cell being fixed removably within said compartment.
Cette caractéristique permet de faciliter la fixation de chaque alvéole au sein de son compartiment de réception.This feature makes it easier to fix each cell within its receiving compartment.
