Description

TECHNICAL FIELD TO WHICH THE INVENTION RELATES The present invention generally relates to the field of electrical connection. It relates more particularly to an electrical connection terminal comprising: - a metal body delimiting a first receiving duct which is shaped to receive a first electrical conductor oriented along a first axis, and - a connecting lever which is mounted to tiltably relative to the metal body about a rocker axis substantially parallel to the first axis and which carries first docking means adapted to exert pressure on the first electrical conductor for its connection to said metal body. It also relates to electrical equipment comprising an insulating base and at least one electrical connection terminal as mentioned above, fixed to said insulating base. The invention finds a particularly advantageous application in the production of an electrical box designed to house an electrical mechanism of the switch type, back and forth, electric drive, socket, network plug (RJ45), telephone jack (RJ11 ), indicator, detector (smoke, flood, temperature, movement or light) ... BACKGROUND Traditionally, the attachment and connection of a sheathed electrical wire is carried out using a screw terminal, which consists of a metal strip in which is screwed a screw. This screw is then provided to compress the stripped end of the electric wire on the metal strip to establish the electrical connection.

Currently, there are also screwless terminals, in which the latter is replaced by a compression element provided to maintain the electrical wire and establish the electrical connection. Among these terminals, there are some of which the compression element is in the form of a connecting lever, adapted to compress the electric wire against the metal strip. Document FR2913540 discloses in particular a terminal such as the above, which comprises a metal body having two parallel wings in each of which is formed a slot, and a connection lever for forcing the wire to engage through these two slots to to establish the electrical connection. In this document, it is explained that when the user wishes to connect two separate electrical wires to this terminal (one for the power supply of this terminal, and the other for the transplanting of another terminal in parallel with this terminal), it must engage the ends of the electrical wires each in one of the two slots. It is indeed not possible to place two son in superimposed position, since the connection lever could then no longer be properly folded over the metal body.

This solution has two major disadvantages. It requires first of all to cut the two electrical wires to the right length. Indeed, it is possible to place the ends of the two son in the two slots by engaging a short length of each wire in the terminal. Therefore, if the son are too long, they may come out of the terminal. This too great length of wire can then be troublesome, especially when the terminal belongs to an electrical equipment to engage in a limited volume electrical box. Moreover, this transplanting solution proves impractical to implement, especially during a renovation project. Indeed, if a first wire is already placed through the two slots, it is necessary to remove the first wire and then connect it in one of the two slots in order to connect a second wire in the second slot. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the state of the art, the present invention proposes a new terminal facilitating the transplanting of a second electrical wire. More particularly, according to the invention there is provided an electrical connection terminal as defined in the introduction, in which the metal body delimits a second receiving duct which is shaped to receive a second electrical conductor oriented along a second axis, said second axis being inclined with respect to said first axis. Thus, thanks to the invention, if a first electrical conductor is already engaged in the first receiving conduit, it does not have to be cleared in order to connect the second electrical conductor. Moreover, thanks to this architecture, the first electrical conductor can be placed through the terminal, protruding from either side of the terminal, so that it is not necessary to cut it to the right length before placing it in the first receiving conduit. Thus, the installer can place it in the first receiving duct by adjusting its position, then fold down the connection lever, and finally cut out the surplus electrical conductor that protrudes from one side of the terminal, which facilitates the work of the installer and makes it possible to reduce as much as possible the length of the remaining conductor. Other advantageous and non-limiting characteristics of the electrical connection terminal according to the invention are the following: the second axis is orthogonal to the first axis; the first reception duct passes right through the metal body; the metal body has two parallel flanks in each of which is provided a slot whose edges are sharp for slicing the insulating sheath of the first electrical conductor, the two slots being located in the axis of one another to delimit said first reception conduit; the two slots extend along arcs of circles centered on an axis substantially coinciding with said rocker axis; The metal body comprises a two-part end wall which defines between them a slot whose edges are sharp for slicing the insulating sheath of the second electrical conductor, said slot delimiting said second receiving duct; the edges of said slot are curved on the same side of the end wall; said slot is rectilinear and opens on one side with a flared end; - The connection lever carries second docking means adapted to exert pressure on the second electrical conductor to ensure its connection to said metal body; - The connection lever is movably mounted on the metal body; - The connecting lever is movably mounted on an insulating base which houses said metal body; the metal body delimits a receptacle for receiving an electrical pin; and the metal body is obtained by cutting and folding a metal strip. The invention also provides electrical equipment comprising an insulating base and at least one electrical connection terminal as mentioned above, which is fixed to said insulating base. Other advantageous and non-limiting characteristics of this electrical equipment are as follows: said insulating base comprises a projecting base from which partitions are erected which delimit housing for receiving and retaining said electrical connection terminals; - said insulating base comprises a bottom and two arms which rise substantially orthogonal to said bottom and which carry at their free ends means of attachment to a wall; and several electrical connection terminals are provided which are distributed in such a way that the zones situated in the extension of the first receiving ducts, on either side of the electrical connection terminals, are free over at least 5 millimeters, whatever the positions of the connection levers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF AN EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENT The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, given as non-limiting examples, will make it clear what the invention consists of and how it can be achieved. In the accompanying drawings: - Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a stirrup having four electrical connection terminals according to the invention, the connecting levers of these terminals being shown in the retracted position; FIGS. 2 and 3 are diagrammatic perspective and front views of one of the electrical connection terminals of FIG. 1; FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrammatic perspective views illustrating the two steps of connecting a first electrical wire in the electrical connection terminal of FIG. 2; FIG. 6 is a diagrammatic perspective view of the stirrup of FIG. 1, in which the connection levers of the terminals are shown in the folded position; FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of the electrical connection terminal of FIG. 2, in which a second electrical wire is connected; and - Figure 8 is a schematic perspective view of an electrical box. FIGS. 1 and 6 show an electrical apparatus 100 equipped with electrical connection terminals 1. It could be an electrical box equipped in its bottom with electrical connection terminals. It could especially be a junction box. Here, it is rather a caliper 100 to report to the back of an electrical box 200 (see Figure 8). Such an electrical box 200 is provided to house a module or an electrical mechanism ensuring any electrical function (switch, socket, ...). The stirrup 100 then has the function of facilitating the connection of electrical conductors (in this case the electrical son 320, 330 sheathed) to the module or the electrical mechanism housed in the electrical box 200. As it appears in Figure 8 , the electrical box 200 is of the type to be embedded in a cavity formed in a hollow partition. It is recalled in this regard that, in known manner, such a hollow partition is generally composed of a metal trellis (formed of vertical uprights and horizontal rails) and gypsum panels reported on at least one of the two faces of the trellis metallic. The cavity formed in this hollow partition to accommodate the electrical box 200 is then simply formed by a circular opening made with a hole saw in one of the plasterboards. In the description, the terms "front" and "back" will be used with respect to the gaze direction of the installer of the caliper 100 and the electrical box 200 in the plasterboard. Thus, the terms front and rear respectively designate the outwardly facing location of the hollow partition and the inwardly facing location of this hollow partition. The electrical son 320, 330 to be connected to the caliper 100 walk inside the hollow partition, through ducts (not shown). Thus, a first duct is drawn between the two plasterboards of the hollow partition. The electrical son 320 running in this first duct routing can supply power to the module or electrical mechanism. They are therefore provided for connecting to the electrical connection terminals 1 of the caliper 100 (the module or electrical mechanism housed in the electrical box 200 being for its part adapted to connect to these same electrical connection terminals 1, by means of electrical pins). It also happens that we want to connect a second module or electrical mechanism, housed in another electrical box, in parallel with the module or electrical mechanism considered (it is called "transplanting"). For this, a second duct is drawn between the two plasterboards of the hollow partition, from one to the other of the two boxes. The electric wires 330 running in this second duct are then designed to supply power to the second module or electrical mechanism. Each electrical connection terminal 1 of the stirrup 100 must then not only allow the connection of one of the electrical wires 320 running in the first routing sheath, but also the connection of one of the electrical wires 330 running in the second tracking duct. The invention then relates more specifically to the electrical connection terminals 1 of the bracket 100, which facilitate the connection of two separate electrical son 320, 330. Here, the electrical connection terminals 1 fitted to the stirrup 100 are all identical. With reference to FIGS. 2 to 5 and 7, only one of these terminals will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the electrical connection terminal 1 considered comprises a metal body 10 which delimits a first receiving duct 20, this first receiving duct 20 being shaped so as to receive an electrical conducting wire 320 oriented according to a first axis Al. The electrical connection terminal 1 also comprises a connection lever 40 which is mounted to tiltably movable relative to the metal body 10 about an axis of flip-flop A3 substantially parallel to the first axis A1 and which carries first means of docking 45 adapted to exert pressure on the first wire 320 for its connection to said metal body 10. As it appears in the figures, the flip-flop axis A3 and the first axis Al are here strictly parallel. One could however predict that they are inclined relative to each other, an angle of less than 10 degrees. As shown in Figures 2 and 7, according to a particularly advantageous characteristic, the metal body 10 defines a second receiving duct 30 which is shaped to receive a second electrical wire 330 oriented along a second axis A2, said second axis A2 being inclined relative to said first axis A1. As shown in the figures, the second axis A2 and the first axis A1 are here strictly orthogonal. However, it could be expected that they are inclined relative to each other, an angle preferably greater than 45 degrees.

Here, the metal body 10 is obtained by cutting and folding a metal strip. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the metal body 10 here comprises a flat bottom wall 14 and rectangular in shape, the two side edges are folded at right angles forward to form two flanks 11A, 12A parallel.

Each flank 11A, 12A thus has a rear edge which is attached to the bottom wall 14, a free front edge, an inner edge (turned towards the center of the yoke 100) and an outer edge (turned to the opposite) . The outer edges of both sides 11A, 12A are bent at right angles to each other to form a two-part end wall 13A, 13B.

As shown in Figure 5, the inner edge of one of the flanks 12A is folded at right angles to the other side 11A to form a first tab 19A. The inner edge of the bottom wall 14 is itself folded at right angles forward, to form a second tab 19B which extends in parallel with the first tab 19A and at a reduced distance therefrom.

These two tabs 19A, 19B together form a socket 19 for receiving a pin located at the rear of the module or electrical mechanism. The front edges of these two tabs 19A, 19B are here slightly curved in opposite directions, to facilitate the engagement of the pin in this cell 19. As shown in Figure 2, the first axis Al and the axis of flip-flop A3 extend orthogonally to both flanks 11A, 12A. The first receiving duct 20 passes right through the metal body 10, so that the first electrical wire 320 can protrude from both sides of the electrical connection terminal 1. This first receiving duct 20 is here delimited by two slots 11 , Respectively located in the two flanks 11A, 12A of the metal body 10, in the axis of one another. These two slots 11, 12 extend from the front edge of the flanks 11A, 12A towards the rear. They are here advantageously curved along arcs of circles centered on the flip-flop axis A3. In this way, when the connection lever 40 forces the first electrical wire 320 to engage transversely through these slots 11, 12, the distance between the first electrical wire 320 and the flip-flop axis A3 does not change; which keeps the shear forces constant and thus prevents any damage to the core of the first wire 320. These two slots 11, 12 are open towards the front. They open on the front edges of the flanks 11A, 12A by a flared end which facilitates the engagement of the electrical wire 320 in the slots 11, 12. These two slots 11, 12 are however closed at the rear by a semi bottom 25 -circular. Here, the edges of the two slots 11, 12 are sharp to slice the insulating sheath of the electrical wire 320. They are for this purpose sharpened. As shown in FIG. 3, the two portions 13A, 13B of the end wall of the metal body 10 delimit between them a third slot 13 which forms the second receiving duct 30 of the second electrical wire 330 (see FIG. 7). This third slot 13 extends from the front edge of the end wall of the metal body 10 towards the rear, along an axis orthogonal to the bottom wall 14.

It opens out towards the front by a flared end which facilitates the engagement of the electric wire 330. It could be envisaged that the facing edges of the two parts 13A, 13B of the end wall of the metal body 10 (which delimit the third slot 13) are sharpened to slice the insulating sheath of the second electrical wire 330. Here, the opposite edges of the two parts 13A, 13B of the end wall of the metal body 10 are instead curved towards the inside of the connection terminal electrical 1, so that their opposite edges form sharp edges for the insulating sheath of the electrical wire 330. Also, it is not necessary to sharpen these edges, which reduces the cost of the electrical connection terminal 1. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the connection lever 40 is in turn in the form of a rectangular plate 41 which has on the rear face stiffening ribs 44.

This connection lever 40 is mounted to tiltably move on the metal body 10, around the flip-flop axis A3, between a retracted position (FIG. 4) in which it allows access to the two receiving ducts 20, 30 so as to be able to report thereon the first and second electrical wires 320, 330, and a folded position (FIG. 5) in which it holds the electrical wires 320, 330 in the receiving ducts 20, 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the rectangular plate 41 the connection lever 40 carries for this purpose on its rear face, on the side of its inner edge, a shaft 42 whose ends protrude from both sides of the rectangular plate 41 and are engaged through two circular openings 42A provided in both flanks 11A, 12A of the metal body 10. To force the first wire 320 to engage through the two slots 11, 12 of the metal body 10, the first docking means 45 of the connecting lever there are three teeth 45 which project at the rear of the stiffening ribs 44.

These three teeth 45 have inner edges turned towards the shaft 42, which have arcs-of-circles shapes centered around the same axis parallel to the flip-flop axis A3. Thus, when the first electrical wire 320 is engaged through the mouths of the two slots 11, 12 and the installer forces the connection lever 40 to tilt around the axis of flip-flop A3 towards its folded position, the inner edges of the three teeth 45 of the connection lever 40 hook the first wire 320 to force it to engage through the two slots 11, 12 to the funds of the latter.

The sharp edges of these slots 11, 12 then make it possible to automatically cut the insulated sheath of this first electrical wire 320 and to establish the electrical connection between this first electrical wire 320 and the metal body 10. As shown in FIG. Connection lever 40 also carries second docking means 46 for electrically connecting the second wire 330 to the metal body 10. These second docking means are here in the form of a fourth tooth 46 projecting from stiffening ribs 44 of the connecting lever 40, whose rear face is provided to force the second wire 330 to engage through the third slot 13. Then, to connect the second wire 330 to the connection terminal 1, simply place second electric wire 330 through the flared mouth of the third slot 13 of the metal body 10, then fold down the connecting lever 40 so that the fourth tooth 46 of the latter forces the second electrical wire 330 to engage in this slot 13. The edges of this slot 13 then have an orientation such that they can automatically cut the insulated sheath this second electrical wire 330 and establish the electrical connection between the second electrical wire 330 and the metal body 10. Here, as shown in Figure 5, the connection lever 40 extends over a length such that in position folded, its outer edge protrudes from the end wall of the metal body 10, so that it remains easily manipulated by the installer. As shown in Figure 2, the connection lever 40 further comprises locking means 48 in the folded position. These locking means are here in the form of two detent teeth 48, which are located projecting from the lateral edges of the rectangular plate 41 and which are adapted to catch on ribs provided in correspondence on the caliper. 100. The stirrup 100 shown in Figures 1 and 6 may comprise a single, two, three or four electrical connection terminals 1 of the aforementioned type. Thus, for example, it can accommodate three terminals of electrical connection 1 phase, neutral and earth or phase-cut (for the case where the equipment module has a function of back and forth).

Here, it comprises four terminals of electrical connection 1 phase, neutral, earth or phase-cut, and control. As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the yoke 100 comprises a base 110 from which rise two arms 130 whose free ends have attachment means 131, 132 to the plasterboard.

The base 110 of the stirrup 100 is provided to be placed at the rear of the electrical box 200, so as to form therewith a double bottom. The arms 130 are in turn provided to be placed on either side of the electrical box 200 to allow the attachment of the bracket 100 to the plaster board, independently of the electrical box 200.

The base 110 here comprises a flat bottom wall 111, generally circular around a main axis A10, which is lined at the front by a peripheral flange 112 adapted to bear against the electrical box 200. The two arms 130 s extend from the front edge of the peripheral flange 112 of the base 110, in the extension of this peripheral flange 112. They extend in directions parallel to the main axis Al 0, in diametrically opposite position. The free ends of these two arms 130 are bent outwards, so as to form flanges 131 which are thus adapted to bear against the front face of the plasterboard.

One of these two arms 130 further carries, on its outer face, a rib 132 which extends parallel to the flange 131 of the arm 130, at a distance therefrom. This rib 132 is thus adapted to bear against the back side of the plasterboard. The base 110 also has at least one inlet opening 113, which allows the electrical wires 320, 330 to pass from the outside to the inside of the base 110. In practice, three openings 113, 113A are provided here, 113B which are located side by side, in the peripheral rim 112 of the base 110. The central inlet opening 113 is here located in the extension of the arm 130 which is devoid of rib 132. Each opening 113, 113A, 113B is lined outside a tube 114, 114A, 114B which internally has ratchet teeth 115, 115A, 115B. This tube and these detent teeth make it possible to retain the end of a routing sheath with respect to the stirrup 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the electrical connection terminals 1 are here fixed in electrically isolated housings, which are delimited by partitions 120, 121, 122 rising from the front face of the bottom wall 111 of the base 110 of the stirrup 100.

These four housings are positioned relative to each other in a cross about the main axis A10. Among these partitions, the base 110 comprises a central pin 122 which rises from the center of the bottom 111, orthogonally thereto. This central pin 122 comprises a tube flanked by four wings oriented in a cross about the main axis A10, which delimit on the inside the housings of the four electrical connection terminals 1. The base 110 also comprises, on both sides of the each electrical connection terminal 1, two side walls 120. These side walls have slots located in the axis of the slots 11, 12 of the electrical connection terminals 1, so as not to hinder the engagement of the first electrical son 320 through these slots 11, 12. These side walls 120 are on their inner faces ratchet teeth (not visible in the figures), which retain the electrical connection terminals 1 in their housing.

Finally, the base 110 has 121 planar outer walls, which rise parallel to the main axis A10, from the bottom 111, in order to border the end walls of the metal bodies 10 of the electrical connection terminals 1. These outer walls 121 each have a slot located in the axis of the third slot 13 of the electrical connection terminals 1, so as not to hinder the engagement of the second electrical son 330 through these third slots 13. The position relative to the electrical connection terminals 1, crosswise about the main axis A10, makes it possible to ensure that the zones 2 located in the extension of the first receiving ducts 20, on either side of the electrical connection terminals 1 , are free (that is to say free of any element) on at least 5 millimeters, regardless of the positions of the connection levers 40. In this way, it is not necessary to cut at the b the first electrical wires 120 are lengthened before being engaged through the slots 11, 12 of the electrical connection terminals 1. On the contrary, they can be cut after having been engaged (as shown in FIG. 6), which facilitates the work of the installer. The relative position of the electrical connection terminals 1 with respect to the inlet opening 113 of electrical conductors is furthermore chosen in such a way that it is not necessary to over-fold the first electrical wires 320 in order to engage them at through slots 11, 12 of the electrical connection terminals 1. Thus, considering the axis of the inlet opening 113 (called input axis A4), the electrical connection terminals 1 will be located in such a way that the first axes Al of two of the electrical connection terminals 1 are parallel to the input axis A4. Finally, it will be noted that the electrical connection terminals 1 are located in such a way that the second axes A2 extend radially with respect to the main axis A10 of the base 110, which facilitates the engagement of the second electrical wires 330 through Third Slots 13. As shown in FIG. 8, the electrical box 200 has in turn a tubular lateral wall 201 of revolution about a central axis A11, which is closed at the rear by a bottom 202 and which is open. forward. The electrical box 200 thus delimits an inner housing for receiving an equipment module. Such an equipment module is in the form of a housing (of identical size to that of the inner housing defined by the electrical box 200) which internally houses an electrical mechanism so as to ensure any electrical function, for example switch or socket. Such an equipment module is designed to attach directly to the body, without the aid of any device support. The electrical box 200 then comprises securing means of this equipment module, which are here in the form of four windows 203 regularly distributed around the perimeter of the side wall 201, in which can be hooked means of snap fit provided on the switchgear module. For its connection to the cells 19 of the electrical connection terminals 1, the equipment module has rear pins. To allow the pins of the switchgear module to connect to these cells 19, the bottom 202 of the electrical box 200 has a central access opening 210, through which these pins can engage. This access opening 210 is initially closed by a detachable lid 211, which has on the front face a tab 212 facilitating its tearing. For fixing it in the circular opening made in the plasterboard, the electrical box 200 includes an outside pavement 205 which runs along the edge of the front opening of its side wall 201 and which is adapted to bear against the face before plasterboard, around the circular opening. Thus, this external pavement 205 makes it possible to block the electrical box 200 towards the rear. For its blocking forward, the electrical box 200 has four rectangular flaps 206 cut in its side wall 201 so that they are attached to it only by their front edges, the latter then forming a kind of hinge . A layer of flexible material (in SEBS - "polystyrene-bpoly (ethylene-butylene) -b-polystyrene") is overmolded on a portion of the outer face of the side wall 201, in particular on each flap 206. This layer 25 of material flexible is shaped such that each flap 206 bears on its outer surface flexible parallel ribs 207. Each flap 206 is thus free to retract inwardly of the electrical box 200 during the engagement thereof to through the circular opening provided in the plasterboard and then back to its initial position so that its flexible parallel ribs 207 can hook onto the back side of the plasterboard. The flaps 206 are then locked in this position by the equipment module itself, which is designed to completely fill the inside of the electrical box 200 so as to push the flaps 206 outwardly.

To make it possible to bring back the stirrup 100 to the back of the electrical box 200, the side wall 201 of this electrical box 200 has, hollowed out in its outer face, two grooves 208 whose dimensions are adjusted to those of the arms 130 of FIGS. the caliper 100, to allow the passage of these. It can also be seen in FIG. 8 that the external pavement 205 of the electrical box 200 is interrupted in the extension of these two grooves 208, to allow the rims 131 of the arms 130 of the stirrup 100 to pass through. placing and connecting the electrical box 200 and the stirrup 100 in the hollow partition.

Initially, a circular opening is made with a hole saw in the plasterboard of the hollow partition, so that the free ends of two ducts can be drawn outside the hollow partition, through this opening circular. The ends of the electrical wires 320, 330 emerging from these ducts are then engaged through two of the tubes 114, 114A, 114B of the caliper 100. The ends of the two ducts are then locked in these tubes 114, 114A, 114B, snap-fastening. After having lifted the connection levers 40 (see FIG. 1), the installer positions the first and second electrical wires 320, 330 through the corresponding slots 111, 112, 113 of the electrical connection terminals 1 and then folds the levers 40 to connect these electrical wires 320, 330 to the electrical connection terminals 1. The stirrup 100 is then put in place through the circular opening 25 made in the plasterboard, firstly in the 'Engaging on its side which emerges the tubes 114, 114A, 114B, then tilting. The stirrup 100 is considered in place when the flanges 131 of the arms 130 bear against the front face of the plasterboard. It remains for the installer to engage the electrical box 200 through the circular opening made in the plasterboard, which is done without difficulty thanks to the grooves 208 provided in the hollow in the outer face of its side wall 201 ( which slide along the arms 130 of the stirrup 100). The electrical box 200 is thus ready to receive the fitting module.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown, but the art can apply any variant within his mind. Thus, it will be possible, for example, to mount the connection lever not on the flanks of the metal body of the electrical connection terminal, but rather on the partitions of the base of the stirrup, those which delimit the docking stations of the terminals. electrical connection. According to another variant, provision may be made to use the stirrup with a box of a shape different from that shown in FIG. 8. This box may for example comprise, on the inside face of its lateral wall, screwing wells, which will make it possible to attach a frame-shaped appliance holder to the front edge of the box. Thus, this box will accommodate an electrical mechanism, snap-type in the equipment support. In this variant, it will be provided that the electrical mechanism comprises pins adapted to engage through the cells of the electrical connection terminals of the stirrup. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the electrical connection terminals 1 are distributed in a cross and are arranged in the insulating base 110 in such a way that the first axes A1 of two of the electrical connection terminals 1 are parallel to the axis A4 entrance. Alternatively, it could have been provided that the electrical connection terminals 1 are distributed in a cross and are arranged in the insulating base in such a way that the first axes of all the electrical connection terminals are inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the axis. of entrée.25
