Abstract

The connector connects several cables to a support (1A) fixed in a casing (4) by a set of female pins (2A) and protected by a sleeve (3). Several other cables are similarly connected to a support (1B) which turns freely in a casing (5) by a set of male pins (2B) and protected by a sleeve (3). The two casings are screwed together and are sealed by an O-ring (6). The stuff box at each end comprises a special conical joint (7) which allows the passage of one or more cables and a packing seal (8). The insulation is pierced by a screw (9) or point on the pin to connect with the cable perpendicularly and ensure electrical continuity.

Description

DESCRIPTIF
La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à raccorder facilement des câbles électriques méplats, chauffants ou non, entre eux, contenant au moins deux conducteurs noyés dans un polymère.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a device for easily connecting flat electric cables, heating or not, between them, containing at least two conductors embedded in a polymer.

La connexion de tels câbles est faite traditionnellement en dénudant les conducteurs et en les vissant dans un bornier prévu à cet effet. The connection of such cables is traditionally made by stripping the conductors and screwing them into a terminal block provided for this purpose.

Dans le cas de câbles chauffants autorégulants méplats, il est souvent difficile de séparer les câbles conducteurs du polymère autorégulant car le polymère est très dur et parceque le câble est intimement lié au polymère. In the case of flat self-regulating heating cables, it is often difficult to separate the conductive cables from the self-regulating polymer because the polymer is very hard and because the cable is intimately bound to the polymer.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient on a imaginé un dispositif qui permet de créer un contact sans avoir à dénuder les câbles conducteurs. Le dispositif permet en outre de connecter dans un même espace deux, trois, quatre (sans limitation de nombre) câbles autorégulants selon la dimension des câbles. To remedy this drawback, a device has been devised which makes it possible to create a contact without having to strip the conducting cables. The device also makes it possible to connect in the same space two, three, four (without limitation of number) self-regulating cables according to the size of the cables.

Le dispositif est constitué d'un support (1) qui comporte un orifice dans lequel va rentrer sans préparation le câble, soit isolé, soit auquel on a retiré l'isolation. The device consists of a support (1) which comprises an orifice into which the cable will enter without preparation, either insulated, or from which the insulation has been removed.

Sur ce support se vissent:
- soit deux broches métalliques (2) sur lesquelles sont serrées plusieurs vis (9), quatre par exemple, qui pénètrent le(s) câble(s) perpendiculairement en réalisant ainsi la continuité électrique avec les conducteurs,
- soit deux broches métalliques munies de dents estampées sur les broches elles-mêmes, dents qui pénètrent le polymère latéralement en réalisant la continuité électrique avec les conducteurs.On this support are screwed:
- either two metal pins (2) on which are tightened several screws (9), four for example, which penetrate the cable (s) perpendicularly thereby achieving electrical continuity with the conductors,
- or two metal pins provided with teeth stamped on the pins themselves, teeth which penetrate the polymer laterally by achieving electrical continuity with the conductors.

Une troisième broche se connecte à la terre. A third pin connects to earth.

Une caractéristique importante du dispositif est que seulement 3 niveaux de serrage sont nécessaires à l'étanchéité du système (un serrage médian des deux parties et un presse-étoupe à chaque extrémité). An important feature of the device is that only 3 levels of tightening are necessary for sealing the system (a central tightening of the two parts and a cable gland at each end).

Ce support est protégé par un fourreau (3) et l'ensemble rentre dans l'un des deux demiboitiers (4) ou (5). D'un côté on a utilisé un jeu de broches femelles (2A), et de l'autre côté un jeu de broches males (2B). D'un côté le fourreau (3) est ajusté et bloqué dans le demi-boitier (4), de l'autre côté le fourreau (3) tourne librement dans le demi-boitier (5) muni d'un filetage extérieur. This support is protected by a sheath (3) and the assembly fits into one of the two half-housings (4) or (5). On one side we used a set of female pins (2A), and on the other side a set of male pins (2B). On one side the sheath (3) is adjusted and locked in the half-housing (4), on the other side the sheath (3) turns freely in the half-housing (5) provided with an external thread.

Ce dispositif permet un mouvement rotatif du demi-boitier (5) indépendant du support de câble et des bornes de connexion.This device allows a rotary movement of the half-housing (5) independent of the cable support and the connection terminals.

Les deux côtés sont alors connectés. Les deux demi-boitiers (4) & (5) sont vissés l'un sur l'autre. L'étanchéité centrale est faite par un joint torique (6). Enfin un presse-étoupe composé d'un joint spécial conique pour câble(s) méplat(s) (7) et d'une bague d'étanchéité (8) est placé de chaque côté du système pour réaliser une étanchéité parfaite. The two sides are then connected. The two half-boxes (4) & (5) are screwed one on the other. The central seal is made by an O-ring (6). Finally a cable gland composed of a special conical seal for flat cable (s) (7) and a sealing ring (8) is placed on each side of the system to achieve a perfect seal.

Dans le cas de connexion par vis (9), la position des vis sera telle que, lors du percage, les vis rencontreront obligatoirement le conducteur des câbles.  In the case of connection by screws (9), the position of the screws will be such that, during drilling, the screws will necessarily meet the conductor of the cables.

Dans le cas de la connexion directe par des broches muniqes de dents, la forme des dents sera différente selon les câbles que l'on veut connecter et leur nombre. In the case of direct connection by pins with teeth, the shape of the teeth will be different depending on the cables to be connected and their number.

Pour la connexion au secteur on soudera, ou on vissera, le câble secteur sur un jeu de broche. Dans ce cas on utilisera un joint rond conique dont l'ouverture a la même dimension que les câbles secteurs. For connection to the mains, the mains cable will be soldered or screwed on a set of pins. In this case we will use a conical round joint whose opening has the same dimension as the mains cables.

On peut aussi imaginer que la broche femelle et la broche mâle ne fassent qu'une et soit vissée sur un bloc central sur lequel tous les câbles se connecteraient. One can also imagine that the female pin and the male pin are one and is screwed on a central block on which all the cables would connect.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif le dispositif aura une longueur de environ 19cm pour une largeur de environ 4cm. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention et représentent la connexion de 3 câbles chauffants autorégulants méplats (deux câbles d'un côté en connexion avec un seul câble de l'autre côté). By way of nonlimiting example, the device will have a length of approximately 19cm for a width of approximately 4cm. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention and represent the connection of 3 flat self-regulating heating cables (two cables on one side in connection with a single cable on the other side).

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la connexion de câbles chauffants autorégulants de toutes tailles et de toutes provenances.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the connection of self-regulating heating cables of all sizes and from all sources.
