Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of female electrical connection terminals for power outlets, that is to say electrical connection terminals fitted to power outlets and whose functional part comprises a receiving cell intended to receive a pin of an electrical plug for supplying current to an electrical device connected to the electrical plug.
  • the invention relates more precisely to a power socket mechanism comprising an insulating base housing at least one female terminal.
  • a power socket mechanism comprises an insulating base in which two female electrical connection terminals are housed, one being supplied by the electrical network with neutral current while the other is supplied with phase current, which insulating base is intended to be housed in an electrical box into which the electrical conductors coming from the network arrive.
  • the free end of the electrical conductor inserted into the terminal is forced to adopt an orientation imposed by the terminal, while the rest of the length of electrical conductor is pushed into the bottom of the electrical box, behind the insulating base of the mechanism. 'equipment.
  • the electrical conductor is naturally curved.
  • the natural curvature adopted by the electrical conductor depends of course on its section, so that the size (also called “overall volume”) of the curved portion of electrical conductor is more or less important depending on whether the electrical conductor has a section more or less large.
  • the female electrical connection terminal of the document FR3060873 is bulky, so that the insulating base of the socket mechanism that it equips is itself bulky and leaves little space in the bottom of the electrical box to, on the one hand, accommodate the curved portion of the electrical conductor generated by the connection of the terminal, and, on the other hand, push back the length of the electrical conductor which allowed this connection. This is all the more annoying when the electrical box receiving the socket mechanism is of shallow depth.
  • DE 30 36 545 A1 discloses a power socket mechanism comprising an insulating base housing a female terminal and defining four planes extending perpendicular to the direction of insertion.
  • the present invention proposes a power socket mechanism which comprises a female electrical connection terminal which is little bulky, which frees up space at its second face, located at the rear of the female terminal, to facilitate the connection of the electrical conductor which supplies it, and to accommodate the naturally curved portion of the electrical conductor.
  • the second plane is brought closer to the first plane of the female terminal, so as to free up space at the rear of said female connection terminal.
  • the space thus freed facilitates the connection of the female terminal and makes it possible to accommodate the curved portion of the electrical conductor which supplies it.
  • the distance separating the first and second planes of the female terminal can be zero, the second plane then being coincident with the first plane.
  • the distance separating the first and second planes of the female terminal can still be negative, that is to say that the second plane is located in front of the first plane.
  • the space freed at the rear of the terminal is preferably calibrated to fully accommodate the overall volume occupied by the curved portion of the electrical conductor.
  • the base of the socket mechanism is designed to adjust to the female terminal and follow the offset of the second plane of the female terminal towards the front, so as to free up space in the bottom of the box electrical which receives it while ensuring, thanks to the thickness of the bottom wall separating the second and third planes, a function of guiding the electrical conductor into the second place of insertion of the female terminal.
  • the space freed at the bottom of the box makes it possible to accommodate, without crushing, the curved portion of the electrical conductor supplying each female terminal.
  • the conductor guide facilitates the connection of the electrical conductor into the female terminal, without disturbing the natural curvature of the electrical conductor.
  • the invention finally relates to a power socket comprising, on the one hand, an equipment support accommodating a power socket mechanism according to the invention, and, on the other hand, a hubcap delimiting a well for inserting a socket an electrical plug, the hubcap having a bottom wall pierced with holes giving access to the female electrical connection terminals arranged in the insulating base of the mechanism.
  • This power outlet 1 includes a power outlet mechanism 3000; 4000 closed by a hubcap 8 and attached to an equipment support 3.
  • the equipment support 3 is used for mounting the base of the socket mechanism in an electrical box 5 to be embedded in the receiving wall.
  • the hubcap 8 delimits an insertion well 9 (see figures 11 And 13 ) into which a user can insert an electrical plug 6 (see Figure 4 ) for the purpose of supplying current to an electrical appliance connected to said plug.
  • the power socket mechanism 3000; 4000 includes an insulating base 30; 40 with, on the one hand, a side wall which delimits, at the front, a reception opening 35; 45 intended to be closed by the hubcap 8, and, on the other hand, a bottom wall 31; 41 on the interior face of which are provided locations intended to receive electrical connection terminals adapted to establish electrical contact between conductors electrical coming from the electrical network and the conductive elements of the electrical plug plugged into the insertion well 9 of the hubcap 8.
  • the insulating base 30 of the power socket mechanism 3000 more specifically comprises three locations 38, 39 to accommodate three electrical connection terminals: two lateral locations 38 intended to receive two female terminals and a central location 39 intended to receive a male terminal.
  • female terminal an electrical connection terminal whose functional part includes a receiving cell intended to receive a connection pin 51 of the electrical plug 50 (shown on the figure 4 )
  • a “male terminal” means an electrical connection terminal whose functional part comprises an electrical contact element, such as an earth pin6 (or a lyre according to another embodiment not shown), intended to protrude into the insertion well 9 of the hubcap 8 to plug into a socket of the electrical plug 50.
  • the earth pin 6 is, generally, that of a Franco-Belgian type socket.
  • the earth connection yoke is provided in a German standard socket (type F), not shown here.
  • the insertion well 9 of the hubcap 8 opens towards the front and is closed at the rear by a bottom wall 7 (see figures 11 And 13 ) pierced with three orifices, two giving access to the recesses for receiving the female terminals of the socket mechanism, and a third leaving the passage for the earth pin 6.
  • the hubcap 8 comprises a protective wall 4, sliding in the insertion well 9 in the manner of a piston wall, provided with orifices in correspondence with the orifices of the bottom wall 7. This protective wall 4 allows you to close the insertion well 9 when the power outlet 1 is unused.
  • the socket mechanism integrates particularly advantageous female terminals whose profile allows a profile of the bottom wall of the optimized insulating base which frees up a space at the entrances for the electrical conductors.
  • This space facilitates the so-called “wiring” operation by which the electrical conductors are connected to the terminals of the mechanism in an insertion direction imposed by the terminal.
  • this space makes it possible to accommodate, without crushing it, the natural curvature of the electrical conductors which is generated between the end of the conductor inserted in the terminal and the remaining length of conductor stored in the bottom of the electrical box.
  • the profile of the insulating base 30 of the power socket mechanism 3000 of the Figure 11 is not identical to the profile of the insulating base 40 of the power socket mechanism 4000 of the Figure 13 since each insulating base 30; 40 is adapted to the profile of the female terminals it contains.
  • the insulating base of the socket mechanism according to the present invention can also have other profiles depending on the profile of the female terminals which it contains and several variants of the socket 1 according to the present invention are thus obtained.
  • front and rear will be defined in relation to the user's gaze turned towards the power outlet 1 in the position of use on any receiving wall.
  • front will designate the side of the power outlet facing the user
  • rear will designate the side of the power outlet facing away from it, i.e. that is to say turned towards the inside of the receiving wall.
