Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for fixing an electrical connection terminal, in particular in the core of a railroad track.
- said terminal is fixed to the rail by screwing, by means, for example, of a threaded rod integral with or fixed on the latter and of a nut, provided with a tightening washer, and intended to clamp said terminal on said rail or an electrically conductive part fixed on the latter.
- the threaded rod can be fixed or attached by any means and in particular be constituted by the extension of an insert fixed in the rail, as described in French Patent No. 2,692,632 in the name of the same applicant.
- Pinsert has a collar ring fixed in a hole in the rail, and on which the electrical connection lug is applied.
- the cables can be hung by tools or mechanized machines of the track, such as tamping machines for example. This is why we sought to further reinforce the indesserrability of this type of attachment, even when handling the cable.
- the invention therefore provides a system for fixing an electrical connection terminal to an element such as a railroad track, conventionally comprising a threaded rod integral with or fixed to the element and a nut, provided with a tightening washer, and intended to come to tighten said terminal on said element or an electrically conductive part fixed on it, such as a flanged ring.
- the system according to the invention is notably remarkable in that the facing surfaces of the terminal and of the clamping washer are made to rotate relative to one another by at least one anti-friction treatment, without unscrewing said nut. The invention thus solves the problem quite surprisingly.
- the nut is generally a lock nut while the tightening washer can advantageously either be crimped onto the nut so as to remain subject to said nut while remaining free to rotate, or else be constituted by a base secured to the nut .
- the anti-friction treatment is carried out on the face of the tightening washer facing the terminal.
- the invention proposes an embodiment which is remarkable in that it comprises an anti-friction washer interposed between the terminal and the tightening washer, this washer having at least one of its faces treated with anti-friction of ma- moto able to rotate by sliding on the clamping washer (9a, 9b) and / or allow the terminal (6) to rotate by sliding on said treated face.
- the anti-friction washer is secured to the clamping washer, its anti-friction treated face being that which is opposite to said clamping washer.
- the terminal may slide on said anti-friction washer while the latter will be kept integral in rotation with the nut tightening washer, by friction, and / or by fixing according to the last embodiment mentioned.
- the anti-friction washer must not be interposed on the side opposite the clamping washer, which would make the system ineffective.
- the anti-friction treatment is, for example, carried out by a treatment based on PTFE, or even if it is deemed useful, based on a mixture of PTFE and lead powder, ie a mixture made electrically conductive.
- the very alloy thereof could be of anti-friction nature.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 show in perspective four embodiments according to the invention, before assembling the parts together,
- FIG. 5 is a cross section of the embodiment of FIG. 3, after assembling the parts together,
- Figure 6 is a section similar to Figure 5 showing a variant.
- Pinsert 3 is constituted by a dowel 4 provided with an extension in the form of a threaded rod 4 'and by a ring 5 provided with a flange 5'.
- the threaded rod 4 ' is intended to receive a terminal 6 for electrical connection, for example of tinned copper, said terminal which is here fixed to a cable 7 being intended to be applied on the collar 5' thus ensuring excellent electric contact.
- the nut 8 is preferably a lock nut intended to prevent or at least limit the loosening of said nut.
- the nut has, for example, a partially split internal thread to ensure elastic nipping.
- the washer 9a is an elastic washer which is further here crimped, that is to say fixed to the nut but free to rotate, in particular in order to avoid being forgotten or lost.
- the washer 9a could of course be completely independent of the nut.
- the washer 9b is here constituted by a base secured to the nut 8, but it will be understood that the result is the same.
- FIGS. 3 to 6 comprising tightening washers 9a and 9b respectively (as indeed in FIGS. 1 and 2)
- a complementary washer 10a, 10b which is interposed between the terminal 6 and said clamping washer 9a, 9b.
- the face of the washer 9a, 9b facing the terminal 6 is treated with antifriction, while in the embodiments of FIGS. 3 to 6, it is at least one of the faces of the complementary washer 10a, 10b, called antifriction, which is treated and for example the face facing the tightening washer 9a, 9b ( Figure 5), or on the contrary the face facing the terminal ( Figure 6), which face is shown schematically in 10 'in said Figures 5 and 6.
- the anti-friction treatment is, for example, carried out by a coating of PTFE, possibly mixed with microbeads of lead.
- the washer 10a, 10b, in bronze for example, thus coated, could also consist entirely, as already said, of an antifriction alloy. It is thus understood that after sufficient tightening of the nut, any untimely movement of the terminal will allow it to rotate by sliding either on the tightening washer 9a, 9b ( Figures 1, 2), or on the washer 10b ( Figure 6), or even indirectly on the clamping washer via and driving the washer 10a ( Figures 3 to 5). In addition, in all cases, the friction of the terminal on the ring can only improve the flatness of the surfaces in contact.
- a treatment on both sides of the washer 10a is also still conceivable.
- the invention realizes two functions which seemed hitherto irreconcilable since it allows to keep a excellent electrical contact by tightening while allowing rotation in extreme cases, without risk of damaging said electrical contact.
- the invention is not satisfied with having imagined the use of an anti-friction treatment for a fastening system, but it is also necessary that this treatment be carried out in certain places only.
