Description

Ovaj se izum odnosi na kombinirane električne priključke za naponske i kontrolne vodove, pogotovo za sklopke/regulatore. This invention relates to combined electrical connections for voltage and control lines, especially for switches/regulators.

Poznato je, pogotovo na području kućanskih električnih aparata, da postoje sklopke i/ili regulatori koji djeluju na one električne uređaje, kao na primjer otpornici, kojima je potreban napon iz mreže. It is known, especially in the field of household electrical appliances, that there are switches and/or regulators that act on those electrical devices, such as resistors, which need voltage from the mains.

Takve sklopke i/ili regulatori djeluju na ne-naponske prilagodbe na način da su povezane na kontrolne vodove. Such switches and/or regulators act on non-voltage adjustments by being connected to control lines.

Stoga je očito, da je operacija za spajanje električnih žica od posebne važnosti jer se žice, obzirom na to da napajaju različite krugove, ne smiju pomiješati tijekom ožičavanja i za vrijeme spajanja na sklopku/regulator. Therefore, it is obvious that the operation for connecting electrical wires is of particular importance because the wires, given that they supply different circuits, must not be mixed during wiring and during connection to the switch/regulator.

Cilj ovog izuma je eliminirati ili znatno reducirati probleme povezane sa spajanjem električnih naponskih i kontrolnih žica na sklopke/regulatore, pogotovo kod kućanskih električnih uređaja. The goal of this invention is to eliminate or significantly reduce the problems associated with connecting electrical voltage and control wires to switches/regulators, especially in household electrical appliances.

U okviru tog cilja, predmet izuma je ponuditi električne priključke, koji dozvoljavaju spajanje naponskih i kontrolnih žica na sklopku/regulator, na samo jedan jedini način. Within this goal, the object of the invention is to offer electrical connectors, which allow the connection of voltage and control wires to the switch/regulator, in only one way.

Drugi cilj izuma je ponuditi električne priključke jednostavne strukture. Another goal of the invention is to offer electrical connections with a simple structure.

Još jedan cilj izuma je ponuditi električne priključke po niskoj cijeni. Another object of the invention is to offer electrical connections at a low price.

Ovi ciljevi, kao i druge svrhe, koje će postati jasnije u daljnjem tijeku opisa, postižu se električnim naponskim i kontrolnim priključcima, pogotovo onima za sklopke/regulatore, koji su karakterizirani time, da sadržavaju dva tijela, jedno za spajanje na napon i jedno za kontrolni spoj, pri čemu je svako tijelo asimetrično oblikovano i izvedeno sa šupljim elementima za umetanje električnih terminala koji se tako mogu umetnuti na samo jedan način, a budući da su oblikovani za spajanje na dopunski terminal navedene sklopke/regulatora, mogu se staviti u samo jednu nedvosmislenu poziciju i u skladu s jednim predodređenim slijedom. These goals, as well as other purposes, which will become clearer in the further course of the description, are achieved by electrical voltage and control connections, especially those for switches/regulators, which are characterized by the fact that they contain two bodies, one for connecting to voltage and one for control connection, wherein each body is asymmetrically shaped and made with hollow elements for inserting electrical terminals which can thus be inserted in only one way, and since they are shaped to connect to the supplementary terminal of said switch/regulator, they can be inserted in only one unequivocal position and in accordance with one predetermined sequence.

Daljnje karakteristike i prednosti ovog izuma postat će jasnije nakon detaljnog opisa, koji slijedi i prikazuje prednosni, ali ne i isključivi, oblik, koji je ilustriran samo neograničavajućim primjerom prikazanim na crtežima, gdje: Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the detailed description which follows and shows a preferred, but not exclusive, form, which is illustrated only by a non-limiting example shown in the drawings, where:

Slike 1 do 3 daju pogled iz perspektive, zatim tlocrt i bokocrt za sklopku/regulator s kombiniranim priključcima, u skladu i prema primjeni izuma. Figures 1 to 3 show a perspective view, then a plan view and a side view of a switch/regulator with combined connections, in accordance with and according to the application of the invention.

Slike 4 do 6 se odnose na perspektivni pogled, tlocrt i bokocrt prvog električnog priključka prema izumu. Figures 4 to 6 refer to the perspective view, floor plan and side view of the first electrical connection according to the invention.

Slike 7 do 9 daju pogled iz perspektive, zatim tlocrt i bokocrt za drugi električni priključak, u skladu s izumom. Figures 7 to 9 provide a perspective view, then a plan view and a side view for a second electrical connection, in accordance with the invention.

Uzimajući u obzir slike, kombinirani električni naponski i kontrolni priključci, pogotovo oni za sklopke/regulatore, u skladu s izumom, uglavnom su određeni referentnim brojem 10. Considering the figures, the combined electrical voltage and control connections, especially those for switches/regulators, in accordance with the invention, are generally designated by the reference number 10.

Priključci 10 sadrže dva tijela, jedno za spoj na vodove napona i drugo za spoj na kontrolne vodove, pri čemu su tijela oblikovana asimetrično i označena su referentnim brojevima 11 odnosno 12. The connectors 10 contain two bodies, one for connection to voltage lines and the other for connection to control lines, whereby the bodies are shaped asymmetrically and are marked with reference numbers 11 and 12, respectively.

Prvo tijelo 11 je uglavnom U-oblika, a drugo tijelo 12 je uglavnom izvedeno u obliku mosta. The first body 11 is mostly U-shaped, and the second body 12 is mostly made in the form of a bridge.

Prvo tijelo 11 i drugo tijelo 12 moraju se postaviti u križnoj konfiguraciji sa zajedničkim dimenzijama koje se međusobno preklapaju. The first body 11 and the second body 12 must be placed in a cross configuration with common overlapping dimensions.

Prvo tijelo 11 sadrži tri šuplja elementa u monolitnoj jedinici, iz plastičnog materijala, za umetanje ženskih električnih završetaka (nisu prikazani na slici) na samo jedan način. The first body 11 contains three hollow elements in a monolithic unit, made of plastic material, for inserting female electrical terminals (not shown in the picture) in only one way.

Od ta tri šuplja elementa, dva su označena pozicijskim brojevima 13 i 14, a postavljena su monolitno, jedan pored drugog, i spojeni su na treći šuplji element 15 pomoću prvog poprečnog elementa 16. Of those three hollow elements, two are marked with position numbers 13 and 14, and they are placed monolithically, next to each other, and are connected to the third hollow element 15 by means of the first transverse element 16.

Kada se prvo tijelo 11 spoji na sklopku/regulator 22, prvi poprečni element 16 se naslanja na stražnji zid 23 sklopke/regulatora 22 i na odgovarajuće muške električne završetke, kao što su to oni označeni pozicijskim brojem 24 i postavljeni na stražnji zid 23 sklopke/regulatora 22, te ulaze u bazne otvore šupljih elemenata 13, 14 i 15. When the first body 11 is connected to the switch/regulator 22, the first transverse member 16 abuts the rear wall 23 of the switch/regulator 22 and the corresponding male electrical terminals, such as those designated by position number 24 and placed on the rear wall 23 of the switch/regulator 22. regulator 22, and enter the base openings of hollow elements 13, 14 and 15.

Drugo tijelo 12 također sadrži tri šuplja elementa u jednoj monilitnoj jedinici, od plastičnog materijala, za umetanje na samo jedan način u odgovarajuće ženske električne završetke, označene referentnim brojevima 18, 19 i 20, koji su spojeni u gornjem dijelu drugim poprečnim elementom 21, kako bi se formirao stvarni oblik mosta na kojem su postavljena dva šuplja elementa 18 i 19, postavljeni na istoj strani oblika mosta, dok je šuplji element 20 postavljen na drugoj strani. The second body 12 also contains three hollow elements in one monilitic unit, made of plastic material, for insertion in only one way into the corresponding female electrical terminals, designated by reference numbers 18, 19 and 20, which are connected in the upper part by a second transverse element 21, as an actual bridge shape would be formed on which two hollow elements 18 and 19 are placed, placed on the same side of the bridge shape, while the hollow element 20 is placed on the other side.

Šuplji elementi 18 i 19 razdvojeni su trećim gornjim poprečnim elementom 17, koji je položen pod pravim kutom na drugi poprečni element 21. The hollow elements 18 and 19 are separated by the third upper transverse element 17, which is laid at right angles to the second transverse element 21.

Odgovarajući muški krajevi sklopke/regulatora, koji na slici nisu prikazani, smješteni su unutar baznih otvora šupljih elemenata 18, 19 i 20. The corresponding male ends of the switch/regulator, not shown in the figure, are located inside the base openings of the hollow elements 18, 19 and 20.

Zbog toga mora prvo tijelo 11 biti prvo po redu spojeno na sklopku/regulator, tako da se prvi poprečni element 16 može osloniti na stražnji zid 23, dok je drugo tijelo 12, drugo tijelo po redu koje se spaja i mora biti postavljeno tako, da je drugi poprečni element 21 postavljen u križnoj konfiguraciji iznad prvog poprečnog elementa 16. For this reason, the first body 11 must be the first to be connected to the switch/regulator, so that the first transverse element 16 can rest on the rear wall 23, while the second body 12 is the second body to be connected and must be positioned so that is the second transverse element 21 placed in a cross configuration above the first transverse element 16.

Na taj je način očito, da je prvo i drugo tijelo 11 i 12 postavljeno u križnoj konfiguraciji sa zajedničkim međusobno poklapajućim dimenzijama. In this way, it is obvious that the first and second bodies 11 and 12 are placed in a cross configuration with common mutually matching dimensions.

U praksi je primjećeno da je ovaj izum ostvario svoju namjeru i svoje ciljeve. In practice, it has been observed that this invention has achieved its intention and its goals.

Na taj je način izbjegnut problem miješanja spojeva naponskih žica i žica kontrolnih vodova na sklopki/regulatoru. In this way, the problem of mixing the connections of the voltage wires and the wires of the control lines on the switch/regulator was avoided.

Naponske žice se, ustvari, moraju umetnuti prethodno, s odgovarajućim ženskim terminalima, u jedno od dva tijela, dok se kontrolne žice spajaju na drugo tijelo, a asimetričnom konfiguracijom se izbjegavaju nepravilni spojevi. In fact, the voltage wires must be inserted beforehand, with appropriate female terminals, into one of the two bodies, while the control wires are connected to the other body, and the asymmetric configuration avoids improper connections.

S druge strane, prvo i drugo tijelo se mora postaviti na sklopku/regulator samo u jednoj poziciji i to u skladu sa predodređenim slijedom. On the other hand, the first and second bodies must be placed on the switch/regulator in only one position and in accordance with the predetermined sequence.

Pogreške se također izbjegnu prilikom ožičavanja, jer je svaki priključak samo za naponske žice ili samo za kontrolne žice. Mistakes are also avoided when wiring, because each connection is only for power wires or only for control wires.

Priključci izvedeni u skladu s ovim izumom imaju, nadalje, vrlo jednostavnu strukturu i lako ih mogu koristiti i korisnici koji ne vladaju osobito tehničkim vještinama. The connectors made in accordance with the present invention have, moreover, a very simple structure and can be easily used by users who do not have particularly technical skills.

Detalji se mogu zamijeniti tehnički podudarnim elementima. Details can be replaced with technically compatible elements.

Materijali koji se upotrebljavaju, mogu biti po izboru, pod uvjetom da odgovaraju potrebama uvjeta uporabe i dimenzija. The materials used can be of choice, provided they meet the needs of the conditions of use and dimensions.
