REGLETA TELEFÓNICA OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN TELEPHONE TAPE OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado es esta memoria descriptiva, se refiere a una regleta de las utilizadas en el campo de las telecomuni¬ caciones, regleta que es modular y va montada en un soporte en "U" estructurado para poder montar una pluralidad de regletas, estado éstas previstas para la interconexión entre los correspondientes pares que alimentan otros tantos aparatos de abonados y los correspondientes pares de conexión a un equipo de conmutación previsto en la central telefónica.The present invention as expressed in the title is this specification, refers to a strip of used in the field of telecomuni ¬ cations, strip that is modular and is mounted on a support "U" structured to mount a plurality of strips, these are provided for interconnection between the corresponding pairs that feed as many subscriber devices and the corresponding connection pairs to a switching equipment provided in the telephone exchange.
El objeto de la invención es proporcionar una regleta con unas características tales que permita realizar adecuada, eficaz y de manera sencilla, todas las funciones requeridas por este tipo de dispositivo. Además, la regleta es susceptible de complementarse con un módulo electrónico capaz de realizar determinadas pruebas o mediciones de manera automática. ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNThe object of the invention is to provide a strip with characteristics such that it allows to adequately, efficiently and easily perform all the functions required by this type of device. In addition, the strip is capable of being complemented with an electronic module capable of performing certain tests or measurements automatically. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Como es sabido, los repartidores telefónicos están constituidos mediante una pluralidad de regletas convenientemente dispuestas sobre un bastidor de soporte, cuya primera función es la de servir de interconexión y dar continuidad entre los pares correspondientes a los aparatos de los clientes y un equipo de conmutación previsto en la propia central telefónica, de manera que a la regleta llegan unos pares a los que están conectados esos aparatos de clientes, mientras que de las regletas salen otros pares o lineas que finalizan en el equipo de conmutación.As is known, the telephone distributors are constituted by a plurality of strips conveniently arranged on a support frame, whose first function is to serve as an interconnection and to give continuity between the pairs corresponding to the clients' devices and a planned switching equipment in the telephone exchange itself, so that a pair of pairs to which these customer devices are connected are connected to the terminal block, while other pairs or lines that terminate in the switching equipment leave the terminals.
Pues bien, cada regleta, además de la mencionada función de unir entre sí las líneas o pares de abonados y el equipo de conmutación, para que sea útil en la instalación y mantenimiento de los sistemas telefóni- eos, debe cumplir otra serie de funciones que pueden resumirse en las siguientes:Well, each terminal block, in addition to the aforementioned function of joining the subscriber lines or pairs and the switching equipment, to be useful in the installation and maintenance of telephone systems eos, must fulfill another series of functions that can be summarized in the following:
1§.- Facilitar la instalación de la red de líneas de los clientes y su conexión al equipo de conmuta- ción, siendo deseable que la línea esté derivada a tierra hasta el momento de efectuar la conexión al equipo.1 § .- Facilitate the installation of the network of customer lines and their connection to the switching equipment, it being desirable that the line be grounded until the moment of connection to the equipment.
2§.- Interrumpir y restituir el servicio telefónico. Durante la interrupción es conveniente que la línea quede conectada a tierra. 33.- Permitir el seccionamiento y medida de la línea al objeto de solucionar posibles averías y garantizar la calidad del servicio contratado. En este caso también es deseable, la posibilidad de medir hacia el equipo con la línea seccionada. 43.- Proporcionar, cuando sea necesaria, la protección del equipo frente a las inducciones en las líneas de picos de tensión elevada y que son originados por fenómenos naturales como los rayos o fenómenos industriales, tales como conmutaciones en las redes de alta tensión.2 § .- Interrupting and restoring telephone service. During the interruption it is convenient that the line is grounded. 33.- Allow the sectioning and measurement of the line in order to solve possible failures and guarantee the quality of the contracted service. In this case, the possibility of measuring towards the equipment with the sectioned line is also desirable. 43.- Provide, when necessary, the protection of the equipment against inductions in the lines of high voltage peaks and that are caused by natural phenomena such as lightning or industrial phenomena, such as switching in high voltage networks.
53.- Proteger a la central telefónica del contacto accidental y prolongado de la línea con la red de alimentación de energía eléctrica. Este accidente, si no se dispone de protección, además de dañar diferentes órganos de la central puede provocar incendios al ponerse incandescentes determinados componentes de protección utilizados para cumplir la función expuesta en el punto anterior .53.- Protect the telephone exchange from accidental and prolonged contact of the line with the power supply network. This accident, if no protection is available, in addition to damaging different organs of the control panel can cause fires when certain protective components used to fulfill the function set forth in the previous point become incandescent.
En cuanto a la función básica consistente en dar continuidad eléctrica entre la línea y el equipo de conmutación, la mayor parte de las regletas conocidas aseguran tal función mediante algún tipo de parejas de contactos que se mantienen unidos entre sí por presión elástica. El resto de las funciones se consiguen mediante una serie de accesorios que se intercalan entre los citados contactos .As for the basic function of providing electrical continuity between the line and the switching equipment, most of the known strips ensure such a function by some type of contact pairs that are held together by elastic pressure. The rest of the functions are achieved through a series of accessories that are inserted between the cited contacts.
También existen regletas dotadas de un puente para dar continuidad eléctrica entre la línea y el equipo de conmutación, puente que se inserta en los correspondientes contactos hembra situados en un bloque aislante de la regleta. El resto de funciones se consiguen sustituyendo el citado puente por diversos accesorios .There are also strips equipped with a bridge to provide electrical continuity between the line and the switching equipment, a bridge that is inserted into the corresponding female contacts located in an insulating block of the strip. The rest of the functions are achieved by replacing said bridge with various accessories.
En cualquier caso, las regletas tienen el inconveniente de que necesitan de una amplia gama de accesorios, alguno de ellos muy complejos debido a que a veces deben cumplir dos funciones al mismo tiempo, como por ejemplo proteger y medir al mismo tiempo un par sin alterar en nada el funcionamiento de los contiguos .In any case, the strips have the disadvantage that they need a wide range of accessories, some of them very complex because sometimes they must fulfill two functions at the same time, such as protecting and measuring at the same time an unaltered pair the operation of the adjacent ones is not at all.
Otra característica común a las regletas conocidas es que todas las funciones deben realizarse de forma manual .Another characteristic common to known strips is that all functions must be performed manually.

Por su parte, las regletas están constituidas por un módulo o zócalo de conexión, un módulo de protección y una serie de clavijas bipolares, con la particularidad de que el módulo o zócalo de conexión está previsto para la conexión de los pares de línea, pudiendo ser montado de forma invertida sobre la pareja de canales correspondiente del soporte metálico, y una vez establecidas las conexiones de los pares o líneas, invertir su posición para situar dicho zócalo correctamente sobre la pareja de canales correspondiente.In this sense, the metallic U-shaped support is affected in its lateral branches of pairs of deep channels between which the strips are properly mounted, counting these for the purpose at their ends with elastic positioning and fixing means thereof. on the pairs of channels of the metal support, specifically in notches or recesses provided for this purpose at the vertical edges of each channel. On the other hand, the terminals are constituted by a module or connection socket, a protection module and a series of bipolar plugs, with the particularity that the module or connection socket is provided for the connection of the line pairs, being able to be inverted mounted on the corresponding pair of channels of the metal support, and once the connections of the pairs or lines have been established, invert its position to place said socket correctly on the corresponding pair of channels.
El módulo de protección, o de paso si la protección no es necesaria, será llamado en adelante módulo mecánico e incluye una serie de ranuras para el montaje de otras tantas clavijas bipolares, las cuales están previstas para la conexión de los pares de línea que unen la propia regleta con el equipo de conmutación, estando dicho módulo mecánico dotado internamente de un circuito impreso asociado a una pluralidad de componentes de protección adecuada y a lo largo del mismo va dispuesta una pieza conductora elástica constitutiva de la pieza de tierra, la cual presenta una configuración especial que posibilita realizar las cinco funciones siguientes:The protection module, or step if the protection is not necessary, will be called from now on a mechanical module and includes a series of slots for the assembly of as many bipolar plugs, which are provided for the connection of the connecting line pairs the strip itself with the switching equipment, said mechanical module being internally provided with a printed circuit associated with a plurality of suitable protection components and along it there is arranged an elastic conductive piece constituting the earth piece, which has a special configuration that makes it possible to perform the following five functions:
1§.- Proporcionar la conexión a tierra de la regleta. 23.- Proporcionar la conexión a tierra del circuito impreso.1 § .- Provide the ground connection of the power strip. 23.- Provide the grounding of the printed circuit.
33.- Proporcionar estabilidad mecánica en tres posiciones de inserción de la clavija bipolar.33.- Provide mechanical stability in three positions of insertion of the bipolar plug.
43.- Proporcionar la conexión a tierra de los pares de línea y equipo de conmutación.43.- Provide the ground connection of the line pairs and switching equipment.
53.- Proporcionar a los dos electrodos externos de un descargador tripolar, o componente equivalente, como elemento de protección, un paso directo a tierra cuando exista una sobrecarga térmica del mismo. En cuanto a la estructura de cada una de las clavijas bipolares, la misma está basada en un cuerpo aislante con una pareja de cavidades en las que se posicionan dos contactos, en los que por un lado se conecta el par de conexión al equipo de conmutación, y por el otro establecen contacto con láminas previstas al efecto en el correspondiente zócalo para la conexión del par de línea, estando dichos contactos dotados de una zona intermedia con medios que enclavan e inmovilizan el contacto en la cavidad correspondiente del cuerpo de la clavija bipolar propiamente dicha.53.- Provide the two external electrodes of a three-pole arrester, or equivalent component, as a protection element, a direct grounding when there is a thermal overload. Regarding the structure of each of the bipolar plugs, it is based on an insulating body with a pair of cavities in which two contacts are positioned, in which on the one hand the connection pair is connected to the switching equipment, and on the other they establish contact with foils provided for this purpose in the corresponding socket for the connection of the line pair, said contacts being provided with an intermediate zone with means that interlock and immobilize the contact in the corresponding cavity of the body of the bipolar plug itself.
La regleta constituida mediante el zócalo de conexión y el módulo mecánico referidos, es susceptible de complementarse con un módulo electrónico, el cual cuenta con los medios adecuados para su interconexión con el módulo mecánico y con las ranuras para la conexión de las clavijas bipolares, ya que en este caso en lugar de ir insertadas en el módulo mecánico irán insertadas en el módulo electrónico.The strip formed by means of the connection socket and the mechanical module referred to, is capable of being complemented with an electronic module, which has the appropriate means for interconnection with the mechanical module and with the slots for the connection of the bipolar plugs, and that in this case instead of being inserted in the mechanical module they will be inserted in the electronic module.
Pues bien, el módulo electrónico cuenta con los mismos medios que el módulo mecánico con la salvedad de que carecerá de los componentes de protección, ya que estos van dispuestos en el módulo mecánico, y por lo tanto la pieza elástica de tierra carecerá de las patillas o elementos de conexión a esos componentes de protección. Sin embargo, el comentado módulo electrónico cuenta con un conector lateral a través del cual es pasante un bus, formado por varios pares, que discurre por todos los módulos electrónicos del repartidor y se conecta a un equipo de comandos y pruebas que se manejan mediante un ordenador, lo que permite realizar pruebas y medidas de forma automática y remota.Well, the electronic module has the same means as the mechanical module with the proviso that it will lack the protection components, since these are arranged in the mechanical module, and therefore the elastic piece of earth will lack the pins or connection elements to those protection components. However, the aforementioned electronic module has a side connector through which a bus is formed, consisting of several pairs, which runs through all the electronic modules of the distributor and is connected to a team of commands and tests that are managed by a computer, which allows tests and measurements to be carried out automatically and remotely.
En el interior de cada módulo electrónico se incluye un relé o dispositivo análogo capacitado para ocupar tres posiciones, una de funcionamiento normal en la gue se da continuidad entre el par de línea y el par de equipo; otra de seccionamiento del par de línea, interrumpiéndose la continuidad y conectándose a tierra los hilos del par de línea, y una tercera de prueba, en la que se interrumpe la continuidad normal y se conecta el par de línea a un par del bus, al objeto de que el equipo pueda efectuar las medidas necesarias .Inside each electronic module is included a relay or analog device capable of occupying three positions, one of normal operation in which continuity is given between the line pair and the pair of equipment; another of sectioning of the line pair, interrupting continuity and connecting the ground wires of the line pair, and a third test, in which normal continuity is interrupted and the line pair is connected to a bus pair, to the so that the team can carry out the necessary measures.
Como quiera que hay equipos de conmutación que necesitan para su funcionamiento cuatro hilos, o lo que es lo mismo dos pares, éstos podrán conectarse a través de parejas de relés a sendos pares del bus, para que el equipo pueda efectuar las medidas necesarias .Since there are switching devices that need four wires for their operation, or two pairs, these can be connected through pairs of relays to two pairs of the bus, so that the equipment can perform the necessary measurements.
El bus incluirá preferentemente cinco pares, dos denominados de comandos para que el equipo de pruebas pueda seleccionar y activar convenientemente los relés adecuados, a través de dispositivos electrónicos; otros dos para la conexión de los dos relés al equipo de pruebas, cuando el funcionamiento sea a cuatro hilos, y un quinto par para la alimentación eléctrica del propio módulo . La regleta puede complementarse con tarjeteros especiales, así como bandejitas de aislamiento de los diferentes pares de conexión.The bus will preferably include five pairs, two so-called commands so that the test team can conveniently select and activate the appropriate relays, through electronic devices; two others for the connection of the two relays to the test equipment, when the operation is four-wire, and a fifth pair for the power supply of the module itself. The strip can be complemented with special card holders, as well as insulating trays of the different connection pairs.
Cabe también citar el hecho de que los medios elásticos previstos en los extremos de los módulos, para su posicionado y fijación entre los canales del soporte metálico en "U" , constituyen a su vez un medio para la introducción y guiado de los cables , ya que esos medios elásticos están constituidos por dos aletas de configuración angular y desfasadas, para permitir precisamente el paso hacia el interior de los pares y su correspondiente guiado.It is also worth mentioning the fact that the elastic means provided at the ends of the modules, for their positioning and fixing between the channels of the metal "U" support, in turn constitute a means for the introduction and guidance of the cables, since that these elastic means are constituted by two fins of angular configuration and out of phase, to allow precisely the passage towards the interior of the pairs and their corresponding guidance.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA FORMA DE REALIZACIÓN PREFERIDADESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Como se puede ver en las figuras referidas, la regleta de la invención está prevista para ser montada en un soporte metálico en "U" 1, cuyas ramas laterales están afectadas de profundos canales 2 en cuyos bordes laterales se han previsto escotaduras 3 con la función que más adelante se expondrá. El soporte 1 cuenta además con tabiques divisionarios 4, los cuales son metálicos y determinan compartimentos individuales, previsto cada uno de ellos para el montaje de una regleta, proporcionando aislamiento para éstas y, además, rigidización al propio soporte 1. Pues bien, cada regleta consta básicamente de un zócalo 5, un módulo mecánico 6, y una serie de clavijas bipolares 7 acopladas en la parte superior de este último, de manera que el zócalo 5 constituye el medio de conexión de los pares 8 procedentes de los aparatos de los clientes, mientras que las clavijas bipolares 7 constituyen los medios de conexión de los pares 9 que finalizan en el correspondiente equipo de conmutación de la propia central telefónica, ya que las regletas lo que constituyen es un elemento de interconexión entre los pares de los clientes y los pares de conexionado al equipo de conmutación.As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the strip of the invention is intended to be mounted on a "U" metal support 1, whose lateral branches are affected by deep channels 2 on whose lateral edges recesses 3 are provided with the function which will be exposed later. The support 1 also has partition walls 4, which are metallic and determine individual compartments, each provided for the assembly of a strip, providing insulation for them and, in addition, stiffening to the support itself 1. Well, each strip It basically consists of a socket 5, a mechanical module 6, and a series of bipolar plugs 7 coupled at the top of the latter, so that the socket 5 constitutes the means of connection of the pairs 8 coming from the clients' devices , while the bipolar plugs 7 constitute the connection means of the pairs 9 that terminate in the corresponding switching equipment of the telephone exchange itself, since the strips what they constitute is an interconnection element between the pairs of the clients and the connection pairs to the switching equipment.
Tanto el zócalo 5 como el módulo mecánico 6, acoplables entre sí y ubicados en la correspondiente pareja de canales 2 del soporte metálico 1, cuentan en sus extremos con unas patillas elásticas 10 de configuración angular, las cuales constituyen guías tanto para la introducción de los pares como para el guiado de los mismos, y cuyas patillas 10 quedan ubicadas y debidamente enclavadas en las expansiones de los canales 2 de montaje de las regletas .Both the socket 5 and the mechanical module 6, attachable to each other and located in the corresponding pair of channels 2 of the metal support 1, have at their ends some elastic pins 10 of configuration angular, which constitute guides both for the introduction of the pairs and for the guidance of the same, and whose pins 10 are located and properly locked in the expansions of the channels 2 for mounting the strips.
Cabe destacar que el zócalo 5 puede sustituirse por el número adecuado de clavijas bipolares 7, constituyen éstas el medio de conexión para los correspondientes pares . Por otro lado, la regleta formada por el zócado 5 y el módulo mecánico 6, con el complemento de las clavijas bipolares 7, puede complementarse con un módulo electrónico 11 que se acopla al módulo mecánico 6, en cuyo caso las clavijas bipolares 7 se acoplarán a ese módulo electrónico 11, en lugar de acoplarse al módulo mecánico 6 , como se representa en la figura 2.It should be noted that the socket 5 can be replaced by the appropriate number of bipolar pins 7, these constitute the connection means for the corresponding pairs. On the other hand, the strip formed by the socket 5 and the mechanical module 6, with the complement of the bipolar pins 7, can be complemented with an electronic module 11 that is coupled to the mechanical module 6, in which case the bipolar pins 7 will be coupled to that electronic module 11, instead of being coupled to the mechanical module 6, as shown in Figure 2.
La conexión de los pares 8 sobre el zócalo 5 puede realizarse como se muestra en la parte izquierda de la figura 3, es decir, con el zócalo 5 invertido para realizar la conexión de esos pares 8, y una vez efectuada tal operación disponer correctamente el zócalo 5 y situarlo, como se representa en esa figura 3, en el canal siguiente, contado a partir de la parte de la izquierda.The connection of the pairs 8 on the socket 5 can be carried out as shown in the left part of figure 3, that is, with the socket 5 inverted to make the connection of those pairs 8, and once such operation has been carried out correctly arrange the socket 5 and place it, as shown in that figure 3, in the next channel, counted from the left part.
En el siguiente canal de tal figura 3, es decir en el intermedio, puede observarse un zócalo inferior 5, superiormente al cual está acoplado un zócalo mecánico 6 y por encima de éste el zócalo electrónico 11, sobre el que irán insertadas las correspondientes clavijas bipolares 7, mientras que en el siguiente canal existe únicamente una regleta formada por el zócalo inferior 5, el módulo mecánico 6 y las clavijas bipolares 7, estando el último canal de esa figura 3 totalmente libre.In the next channel of such figure 3, that is to say in the intermediate one, a lower socket 5 can be observed, superior to which a mechanical socket 6 is coupled and above it the electronic socket 11, on which the corresponding bipolar plugs will be inserted 7, while in the next channel there is only one strip formed by the lower socket 5, the mechanical module 6 and the bipolar pins 7, the last channel of that figure 3 being completely free.
Cada módulo puede fabricarse en un número variable de pares, habitualmente entre seis y diez. Para evitar confusiones durante su manipulación, las diferentes clavijas bipolares 7 deben marcarse claramente con un número o ser de diferentes colores .Each module can be manufactured in a variable number of pairs, usually between six and ten. To avoid confusion during handling, the different Bipolar pins 7 must be clearly marked with a number or be of different colors.
En relación concretamente con las clavijas bipolares 7, las mismas están constituidas a partir de un cuerpo externo de naturaleza aislante, con un tirador 12 para facilitar su manipulación, y cuyo cuerpo aislante de la clavija 7 está afectado de una pareja de cavidades 13 destinadas, cada una de ellas, a albergar un contacto 14 formado por tres partes, una superior y cilindrica 15 con una ranura 16 destinada a la conexión de un hilo conductor del par 9, por el sistema de desplazamiento de aislante habitual y conocido en la industria electrónica, a cuya parte cilindrica 15 le sigue otra parte intermedia 17 con unas embuticiones 18 para la inmovilización del propio contacto 14 en el interior de la cavidad 13 correspondiente del cuerpo de la clavija 7, incluyendo a partir de esa parte 17 un tramo con una abertura en sentido longitudinal, como tercera parte, determinando un conector hembra para un contacto macho y plano 20 previsto en el interior de cada una de las ranuras 21 con que al efecto cuenta la parte superior del módulo mecánico 6.Specifically in relation to the bipolar pins 7, they are constituted from an external body of an insulating nature, with a handle 12 to facilitate its handling, and whose insulating body of the pin 7 is affected by a pair of cavities 13 intended, each of them, to house a contact 14 formed by three parts, an upper and cylindrical 15 with a groove 16 intended for the connection of a conductive wire of the pair 9, by the usual insulator displacement system known in the electronics industry , whose cylindrical part 15 is followed by another intermediate part 17 with embossments 18 for the immobilization of the contact itself 14 inside the corresponding cavity 13 of the body of the pin 7, including from that part 17 a section with an opening in the longitudinal direction, as a third part, determining a female connector for a male and flat contact 20 provided inside each of the slots 21 with qu e for this purpose the upper part of the mechanical module 6 counts.
En la cara posterior del cuerpo de la clavija bipolar 7 se han previsto unas depresiones 22, concretamente tres, cuya función se expondrá con posterioridad. Las características descritas para la clavija bipolar 7 están mostradas claramente en las figuras 4 y 5.On the rear face of the body of the bipolar plug 7, depressions 22, specifically three, are foreseen, whose function will be discussed later. The features described for the bipolar plug 7 are clearly shown in Figures 4 and 5.
Por su parte, el módulo mecánico 6 cuenta interiormente con un circuito impreso 23 al que están asociados una serie de componentes de protección adecuada en cada caso, y que están referenciados con los números 24, 25 y 26, siendo este último concretamente un descargador tripolar de gas .For its part, the mechanical module 6 internally has a printed circuit 23 to which a series of suitable protection components are associated in each case, and which are referenced with numbers 24, 25 and 26, the latter being specifically a three-pole arrester Of gas .
En la figura 6 se ha representado una vista en sección del módulo mecánico 6 sobre el que va acoplado, por un lado, el zócado 5, y por el otro una clavija bipolar 7.Figure 6 shows a sectional view of the mechanical module 6 on which it is coupled, on the one hand, the zócado 5, and on the other a bipolar plug 7.
En el interior de dicho módulo mecánico 6 se incluye también una pieza conductora y elástica de toma de tierra, referenciada en general con el número 27 y representada claramente en la figura 7, cuya pieza queda situada entre los dos extremos del módulo mecánico 7 , e interiormente a éste, y dotada en esos extremos de patillas 28 que proporcionan la conexión a tierra del circuito impreso 23, cuando sea necesario su instalación. Asimismo, la pieza elástica de tierra 27 cuenta con una prolongación extrema 29 rematada en un sector arqueado 30 para proporcionar la conexión a tierra sobre una de las depresiones 22 correspondientes a la clavija bipolar 7. La pieza elástica de tierra 27 cuenta también con prolongaciones laterales 31 para proporcionar la conexión a tierra de los pares de línea y equipo, incluyendo también un brazo lateral 32 rematado en un extremo arqueado 33 mediante el que se establece la estabilidad mecánica en las tres posiciones en que puede insertarse la clavija bipolar 7 en la respectiva ranura 21 del módulo mecánico 6, al situarse ese extremo arqueado 33 del brazo lateral 32 en una u otra de las depresiones 22 de la propia clavija bipolar 7. La pieza elástica de tierra 27 cuenta también con brazos laterales 34 opuestos al brazo 32, rematados en un extremo acodado 35 que presiona contra una lámina fundente 36 en contacto con los dos electrodos externos y activos del descargador tripolar 26, estableciendo un paso directo a tierra cuando por sobrecarga térmica del descargador se perfora la lámina fundente 36, estableciéndose el contacto directo de los extremos acodados 35 de los brazos laterales 34 de la pieza de tierra 27, como se muestra en la figura 8. Volviendo al módulo mecánico 6, puede verse cómo la conexión al par de líneas se establece mediante los contactos 14-20, mientras que la conexión entre el par de equipos se establece mediante los contactos 14 '-20', estando formado el contacto 14' por los tramos 15 '-19' de contacto, asociado al correspondiente zócalo de conexión 5 para los pares de equipo 9, como se representa claramente en la figura 6.Inside said mechanical module 6 a conductive and elastic grounding part is also included, generally referenced with the number 27 and clearly represented in Figure 7, whose piece is located between the two ends of the mechanical module 7, and internally thereto, and provided with those ends of pins 28 that provide the grounding of the printed circuit 23, when installation is necessary. Likewise, the elastic piece of earth 27 has an extreme extension 29 finished off in an arcuate sector 30 to provide the ground connection on one of the depressions 22 corresponding to the bipolar pin 7. The elastic piece of earth 27 also has lateral extensions 31 to provide the ground connection of the line and equipment pairs, also including a side arm 32 topped at an arched end 33 whereby mechanical stability is established in the three positions where the bipolar plug 7 can be inserted in the respective slot 21 of the mechanical module 6, when that arched end 33 of the side arm 32 is placed in one or the other of the depressions 22 of the bipolar pin 7 itself. The elastic piece of earth 27 also has side arms 34 opposite the arm 32, finished off at an angled end 35 that presses against a flux sheet 36 in contact with the two external and active electrodes of the arrester t ripolar 26, establishing a direct ground path when the melter sheet 36 is perforated by thermal overload of the arrester, establishing direct contact of the angled ends 35 of the lateral arms 34 of the earth piece 27, as shown in Figure 8 Returning to mechanical module 6, it can be seen how the connection to the pair of lines is established by contacts 14-20, while the connection between the pair of equipment is established by contacts 14 '-20', the contact 14 'being formed by sections 15' -19 ' of contact, associated to the corresponding connection socket 5 for the pairs of equipment 9, as clearly shown in Figure 6.
En el esquema superior de la figura 9, que corresponde a la realización y posición de la figura 6, el extremo 7' del cuerpo aislante de la clavija bipolar 7 empuja contra el brazo lateral 31, impidiendo que haga conexión con el contacto macho 20, correspondiendo ésta posición a la de dar continuidad eléctrica entre el par del aparato y el par del equipo de comunicación, entendiéndose por par de conexión al aparato el situado a la parte izquierda y el par de conexión al equipo de conmutación el situado a la derecha.In the upper scheme of Figure 9, which corresponds to the embodiment and position of Figure 6, the end 7 'of the insulating body of the bipolar plug 7 pushes against the side arm 31, preventing it from connecting with the male contact 20, this position corresponding to that of giving electrical continuity between the pair of the device and the pair of the communication equipment, the connection pair to the device being understood as the one on the left and the connection pair to the switching equipment the one on the right.
En el segundo esquema de esa figura 9 la clavija bipolar 7 se ha desplazado hacia la izquierda, en la que el extremo arqueado 33 ocupa la depresión intermedia 22 de tal pieza bipolar 7, correspondiendo a la sección de la figura 11. En este caso el brazo lateral 31 hace contacto con la lámina 20, poniéndola a tierra, de manera que como quiera de esta lámina 20 sigue haciendo contacto con el conector hembra 19, también el par de equipo queda a tierra.In the second scheme of that figure 9 the bipolar pin 7 has moved to the left, in which the arched end 33 occupies the intermediate depression 22 of such bipolar piece 7, corresponding to the section of figure 11. In this case the side arm 31 makes contact with the sheet 20, grounding it, so that as desired of this sheet 20 continues to make contact with the female connector 19, the equipment pair is also grounded.
En el tercer esquema de esa figura 9, la clavija bipolar 7 pasa a su posición más externa, correspondiente a la de la figura 12, de manera que el contacto 19 deja de hacer contacto con la lámina 20, quedando conectada únicamente a tierra la línea de alimentación al aparato, a través del contacto 14'.In the third scheme of that figure 9, the bipolar plug 7 passes to its outermost position, corresponding to that of figure 12, so that the contact 19 stops making contact with the sheet 20, the line being only grounded supply to the device, through contact 14 '.
En el esquema inferior de esa figura 9 se representa la toma directa a tierra de los electrodos del descargador tripolar 26, una vez fundidas por calentamiento o sobrecarga térmica las láminas fundentes 36, como ya se ha dicho con anterioridad cuando se hacía alusión a la figura 8.In the lower diagram of that figure 9, the direct grounding of the electrodes of the three-pole arrester 26, once fused by heating or thermal overloading of the melting sheets 36, as previously mentioned when referring to Figure 8.
En la figura 13 puede observarse la sección del módulo mecánico 6 cuando no incluye protecciones, en cuyo caso la continuidad eléctrica entre los pares de línea y los pares del equipo de conmutación, se realiza mediante una pieza puente o pletina conductora 37 entre los contactos 14 y 14' de la clavija bipolar 7 y del zócalo de conexión 5.In figure 13 the section of the mechanical module 6 can be observed when it does not include protections, in which case the electrical continuity between the line pairs and the pairs of the switching equipment is carried out by means of a bridge piece or conductive plate 37 between the contacts 14 and 14 'of the bipolar plug 7 and of the connection socket 5.
Las pletinas puente 37 pueden estar dotadas de medios adecuados para la conexión de las patillas correspondientes a los electrodos de un descargador tripolar con su respectiva toma de tierra, permitiendo por tanto el situar una protección (descargador tripolar) entre dos pletinas 37 contiguas y paralelas.The bridge plates 37 may be provided with suitable means for the connection of the pins corresponding to the electrodes of a three-pole arrester with their respective grounding, thus allowing to place a protection (three-pole arrester) between two adjacent and parallel plates 37.
En la figura 14 se muestra precisamente una representación similar a la de la figura 6 pero viéndose en línea de trazos las patillas extremas 28 de conexión a tierra del circuito impreso 23, así como la prolongación lateral 29 con su extremo arqueado 30 que establecen la conexión a la clavija bipolar 7 para la toma de tierra.Figure 14 shows precisely a representation similar to that of Figure 6 but showing in line of strokes the grounding end pins 28 of the printed circuit 23, as well as the lateral extension 29 with its arched end 30 establishing the connection to the bipolar plug 7 for grounding.
En cuanto al módulo electrónico 11 que puede complementar la regleta anteriormente descrita, está previsto para acoplarse sobre el módulo de protección 6, como se representa en explosión en la figura 2, en cuyo caso y como ya se ha dicho con anterioridad las clavijas bipolares 7 en lugar de estar conectadas en las ranuras 21 de ese módulo mecánico 6, irán conectadas en unas ranuras análogas 21' del comentado módulo electrónico 11. La constitución general de este módulo electrónico 11 es análoga a la del módulo mecánico 6, siendo idéntica la parte de conexión del par de equipo, es decir la clavija bipolar 7 y los contactos asociados a ella, disponiendo también de un circuito impreso, en este caso referenciado con 38, con componentes 39 necesarios para el funcionamiento del módulo, incluyendo un tipo de conexión 5" al módulo mecánico 6. El contacto 14" está formado por una porción tubular 19" con una ranura 16" en el sentido de una de las generatrices, cuya porción 19" se prolonga en una extensión plana con embuticiones 55, a través de los cuales se enclava en la parte inferior de acoplamiento al módulo mecánico 6, con la particularidad de que esta extensión se acoda ortogonalmente y se prolonga en una patilla 20" de conexión al circuito impreso 38.As for the electronic module 11 that can complement the strip described above, it is intended to be coupled on the protection module 6, as shown in explosion in Figure 2, in which case and as previously mentioned the bipolar plugs 7 instead of being connected in the slots 21 of that mechanical module 6, they will be connected in analogous slots 21 'of the commented electronic module 11. The general constitution of this electronic module 11 is analogous to that of the mechanical module 6, the part being identical of connection of the pair of equipment, that is to say the bipolar plug 7 and the contacts associated to it, providing also of a printed circuit, in this case referenced with 38, with components 39 necessary for the operation of the module, including a type of connection 5 "to the mechanical module 6. The contact 14" is formed by a tubular portion 19 "with a groove 16 "in the direction of one of the generatrices, whose portion 19" is extended in a flat extension with embossments 55, through which it is locked in the lower part of coupling to the mechanical module 6, with the particularity that this extension it is orthogonally layered and extended on a pin 20 "connecting to the printed circuit 38.
En este caso, y dado que la protección va en el módulo mecánico 6 y que las funciones de seccionamiento con puesta a tierra, medida y restitución del servicio se efectúan electromecánicamente de forma remota, la pieza elástica de toma de tierra carecerá de las prolongaciones laterales 31 y brazos 34, incluyendo sin embargo el brazo lateral 32 con su extremo arqueado 33 para su posicionado y estabilización en las distintas posiciones sobre las correspondientes depresiones 22, como se representa en la figura 15 que se corresponde exactamente igual a como se había representado en las figuras 6, 11 y 12. En el caso de que el circuito impreso no necesitara toma de tierra, dicha pieza elástica de toma de tierra se podría suprimir.In this case, and since the protection is in the mechanical module 6 and that the functions of sectioning with grounding, measurement and restitution of the service are carried out electromechanically remotely, the elastic piece of grounding will lack the lateral extensions 31 and arms 34, however including the side arm 32 with its arched end 33 for positioning and stabilization in the different positions on the corresponding depressions 22, as shown in Figure 15 which corresponds exactly the same as it had been represented in Figures 6, 11 and 12. In the event that the printed circuit does not need a grounding, said elastic piece of grounding could be suppressed.
Los módulos electrónicos 11, como se representa de forma esquemática en la figura 17, se sitúan en las distintas verticales del soporte, dos de las cuales han sido representadas, y en donde puede comprobarse cómo todos los módulos 11 están conectados entre sí mediante un cable de varios pares, cinco habitualmente, y cuyo cable lo constituye un bus 40 que después de pasar por todo los módulos electrónicos 11 se conecta a un equipo de comandos y pruebas 41 que se manejan mediante un ordenador 42 con su correspondiente teclado. Dicho bus paralelo 40, entra y sale en cada módulo 11 a través de un conector 43 situado en uno de los laterales del propio módulo 11, contando éste, al igual que los módulos 5 y 6 ya descritos de la regleta, con las patillas elásticas 10 de enclavamiento sobre los canales 2 del soporte metálico "U" 1.The electronic modules 11, as schematically represented in Figure 17, are located in the different verticals of the support, two of which have been represented, and where it can be verified how all the modules 11 are connected to each other by means of a cable of several pairs, five usually, and whose cable constitutes a bus 40 that after passing through all the electronic modules 11 is connected to a command and test equipment 41 that are operated by a computer 42 with its corresponding keyboard. Said parallel bus 40 enters and it exits in each module 11 through a connector 43 located on one of the sides of the module 11 itself, counting this, like the modules 5 and 6 already described on the strip, with the elastic pins 10 interlocking on the channels 2 of metal support "U" 1.
Como se representa en la figura 18, el bus paralelo 40 incluye cinco pares cuya función se expondrá con posterioridad. Igualmente, cabe decir que en el interior de cada módulo 11, cada par de línea se conecta a un relé o dispositivo análogo que puede adoptar tres posiciones y que corresponden a las referencias 44, 45 y 46, considerando en cada caso la referencia 47 como par de línea y la referencia 48 como par de equipo.As shown in Figure 18, the parallel bus 40 includes five pairs whose function will be discussed later. Likewise, it should be said that inside each module 11, each line pair is connected to a relay or analog device that can take three positions and that correspond to references 44, 45 and 46, considering in each case reference 47 as line pair and reference 48 as equipment pair.
Pues bien, en esta situación, la posición correspondiente al relé 44 corresponde a la de funcionamiento normal, en la que se da continuidad entre el par de línea 47 y el par de equipo 48.Well, in this situation, the position corresponding to the relay 44 corresponds to that of normal operation, in which there is continuity between the line pair 47 and the equipment pair 48.
En la posición correspondiente al relé de referencia 45, se produce el seccionamiento del par de línea 47 respecto del par de equipo 48, o lo que es lo mismo se interrumpe la continuidad del punto anterior, conectándose a tierra el par de línea 47.In the position corresponding to the reference relay 45, sectioning of the line pair 47 with respect to the equipment pair 48 occurs, or what is the same, the continuity of the previous point is interrupted, the line pair 47 is grounded.
En la posición correspondiente al relé de referencia 46, puede comprobarse cómo se produce la interrupción en la continuidad normal, conectándose el par de línea 47 a un par 49 del bus 40, de forma que el equipo 41 puede efectuar la medida necesaria, correspondiendo esta posición a la de prueba.In the position corresponding to the reference relay 46, it can be checked how the interruption occurs in normal continuity, connecting the line pair 47 to a pair 49 of the bus 40, so that the equipment 41 can perform the necessary measurement, corresponding to this position to the test.
Cuando los equipos a probar o controlar funcionen a cuatro hilos, es decir mediante dos pares, estos pueden conectarse a través de dos relés, por ejemplo, el referenciado con 46 y el referenciado con 46', a dos pares 49 y 49' del bus 40, para que el equipo 41 pueda efectuar las medidas necesarias . Pues bien, además de los dos pares 49 y 49' del bus 40, éste incluye otra pareja de pares de comandos 50 que utiliza el equipo 41 para seleccionar y activar convenientemente, a través de los dispositivos electrónicos 51, los relés adecuados 46, 46', etc., mientras que el último par 52 del bus 40, se utilizará para alimentar de energía eléctrica a los propios módulos electrónicos 11.When the equipment to be tested or controlled operates on four wires, that is to say by two pairs, these can be connected through two relays, for example, the referenced with 46 and the referenced with 46 ', to two pairs 49 and 49' of the bus 40, so that the team 41 can carry out the necessary measures. Well, in addition to the two pairs 49 and 49 ' of bus 40, this includes another pair of command pairs 50 that the equipment 41 uses to select and conveniently activate, through the electronic devices 51, the appropriate relays 46, 46 ', etc., while the last pair 52 of the bus 40, will be used to power the electronic modules 11 themselves.
El repartidor puede complementarse con un tarjetero convencional o especial 53, como se representa, por ejemplo en las figuras 6, 11 y otras, y poder incluir también una bandejita 54 para evitar que los cables de las regletas contiguas se mezclen.The dispenser can be complemented with a conventional or special cardholder 53, as shown, for example in Figures 6, 11 and others, and also be able to include a tray 54 to prevent the wires of the adjacent strips from mixing.
Finalmente, es de destacar el hecho de que el módulo mecánico y el electrónico pueden formar un cuerpo monobloque en el interior de una carcasa adecuada, debidamente conexionados, evitando con ello el tener que utilizar el correspondiente conector entre ellos, Finally, it is noteworthy that the mechanical module and the electronic module can form a monobloc body inside a suitable, properly connected housing, thereby avoiding having to use the corresponding connector between them,
