Description

Dispositif de raccordement électrique muni de porte-repères pouvant immobiliser des repères de tailles différentes Electrical connection device provided with marker carriers which can immobilize markers of different sizes
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de raccordement et/ou de liaison électrique et notamment les blocs de jonction électrique.The present invention relates to an electrical connection and / or connection device and in particular the electrical terminal blocks.
Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne les dispositifs de raccordement qui sont destinés à réceptionner des repères rapportés en correspondance avec des ouvertures d'introduction dans lesquelles sont insérés des câbles électriques à raccorder. Les repères clipsés sur le bloc de jonction portent une référence qui est identique à la référence placée sur des repères eux-mêmes clipsés sur les câbles électriques.More particularly, the invention relates to connection devices which are intended to receive pins reported in correspondence with insertion openings into which electrical cables to be connected are inserted. The marks clipped on the terminal block have a reference which is identical to the reference placed on marks themselves clipped on the electric cables.
On connaît, notamment d'après le document FR-1 593 558 ou bien encore d'après le document FR-2 747 845, des dispositifs de raccordement et/ou de liaison électrique comprenant :There are known, in particular from document FR-1 593 558 or even from document FR-2 747 845, electrical connection and / or connection devices comprising:
- au moins un corps qui est réalisé en matière électriquement isolante et qui comporte au moins une face,- at least one body which is made of electrically insulating material and which comprises at least one face,
- au moins une nervure qui est portée par cette face, qui est destinée à recevoir au moins un repère, et qui comprend un pied et une coiffe terminale, le pied possédant une base solidaire du corps et la coiffe terminale surmontant ce pied à l'opposé de la base, la largeur de la partie du pied adjacente à ladite coiffe terminale est inférieure à celle de cette coiffe.- At least one rib which is carried by this face, which is intended to receive at least one marker, and which comprises a foot and a terminal cap, the foot having a base secured to the body and the terminal cap surmounting this foot to the opposite the base, the width of the part of the foot adjacent to said end cap is less than that of this cap.
Même si de tels dispositifs donnent entièrement satisfaction pour immobiliser des repères destinés à porter une identification permettant un bon repérage des câbles à introduire, ils ont pour principal inconvénient de ne pouvoir immobiliser que des repères de même taille.Even if such devices are entirely satisfactory for immobilizing markers intended to carry an identification allowing good identification of the cables to be introduced, their main drawback is that they can only immobilize markers of the same size.
Or, il arrive fréquemment que l'on doit raccorder des câbles électriques de différents diamètres dans un même dispositif de raccordement et/ou de liaison électrique. Il est alors nécessaire d'utiliser des repères de tailles différentes et dont la taille est adaptée au diamètre du câble.However, it frequently happens that electrical cables of different diameters have to be connected in the same electrical connection and / or connection device. It is then necessary to use markers of different sizes and the size of which is adapted to the diameter of the cable.
La présente invention a notamment pour but de pallier à ces inconvénients et ce par des moyens simples, efficaces et peu coûteux.The present invention aims in particular to overcome these drawbacks by simple, effective and inexpensive means.
A cet effet, selon l'invention, le pied de la nervure comprend au moins une première coiffe intermédiaire implantée entre la base du pied et la coiffe terminale. Grâce à ces dispositions, une même nervure permet d'immobiliser des repères de tailles différentes, la taille étant adaptée au diamètre du câble destiné à être raccordé au dispositif.To this end, according to the invention, the foot of the rib comprises at least one first intermediate cap implanted between the base of the foot and the terminal cap. Thanks to these provisions, the same rib makes it possible to immobilize marks of different sizes, the size being adapted to the diameter of the cable intended to be connected to the device.
De préférence, la première coiffe intermédiaire est de largeur supérieure à celle de la coiffe terminale.Preferably, the first intermediate cap is of width greater than that of the terminal cap.
Encore de préférence, la largeur de la base du pied est supérieure à celle de la portion du pied adjacente à la coiffe terminale.More preferably, the width of the base of the foot is greater than that of the portion of the foot adjacent to the terminal cap.
Selon un mode préféré de réalisation, le pied de la nervure comprend une deuxième coiffe intermédiaire qui est implantée entre la base du pied et la première coiffe intermédiaire, et qui est de largeur supérieure à celle de la première coiffe intermédiaire.According to a preferred embodiment, the foot of the rib comprises a second intermediate cap which is located between the base of the foot and the first intermediate cap, and which is of width greater than that of the first intermediate cap.
Avantageusement, la coiffe terminale est de section transversale sensiblement carrée, de sorte que la hauteur et la largeur de cette coiffe sont sensiblement identiques. Encore avantageusement, les largeurs des première et deuxième coiffes intermédiaires sont supérieures aux hauteurs desdites coiffes.Advantageously, the end cap is of substantially square cross section, so that the height and the width of this cap are substantially identical. Still advantageously, the widths of the first and second intermediate covers are greater than the heights of said covers.
En variante, la nervure est d'un seul tenant et est venue de matière avec la face qui la porte.Alternatively, the rib is in one piece and came integrally with the face which carries it.
Encore de manière préférée, ladite au moins une nervure s'étend dans une rainure ménagée dans la face du corps.Still more preferably, said at least one rib extends in a groove made in the face of the body.
En variante, la face du corps comporte plusieurs nervures identiques les unes aux autres et s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement les unes aux autres.As a variant, the face of the body comprises several ribs identical to each other and extending substantially parallel to each other.
La présente invention a encore pour objet un ensemble comprenant un dispositif de raccordement possédant l'une quelconque des caractéristiques précitées, et un repère qui est monté sur la nervure, et qui comprend une plaquette et des jambes élastiques s'étendant à partir de la plaquette, la plaquette étant en appui contre la coiffe terminale et les jambes étant retenues par clipsage sous l'une des coiffes terminale et intermédiaire. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description suivante de l'une de ses formes de réalisation, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard des dessins joints sur lesquels :The present invention also relates to an assembly comprising a connection device having any one of the aforementioned characteristics, and a mark which is mounted on the rib, and which comprises a plate and elastic legs extending from the plate , the plate being in abutment against the terminal cap and the legs being retained by clipping under one of the terminal and intermediate caps. Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear during the following description of one of its embodiments, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
La figure 1 est une vue d'ensemble du dispositif de raccordement et/ou de liaison électrique selon la présente invention, deux câbles électriques de diamètres différents étant prêts à être raccordés. La figure 2 est une vue en coupe transversale d'une nervure du dispositif de la figure 1 , selon la ligne ll-ll de cette figure, un repère étant prêt à être rapporté par clipsage.Figure 1 is an overview of the electrical connection and / or connection device according to the present invention, two electric cables of different diameters being ready to be connected. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a rib of the device of Figure 1, along the line II-II of this figure, a mark being ready to be attached by clipping.
La figure 3 est une vue semblable à celle de la figure 2, un repère d'une taille donnée étant monté sur la nervure tandis que deux autres repères de tailles supérieures sont représentés en traits mixtes.Figure 3 is a view similar to that of Figure 2, a mark of a given size being mounted on the rib while two other marks of larger sizes are shown in phantom.
La figure 4 est une vue de côté des repères montés sur une nervure du dispositif de la figure 1.FIG. 4 is a side view of the pins mounted on a rib of the device in FIG. 1.
Les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues en coupe transversale des câbles portant des repères, respectivement selon les lignes V-V et VI-VI de la figure 1. Le dispositif de raccordement et/ou de liaison électrique représenté à la figure 1 se présente plus particulièrement sous la forme d'un bloc de jonction 1 monté de manière connue en soi sur un rail 2. Plusieurs blocs de jonction 1 , dans le cas présent six, sont montés côte à côte sur ce rail. Chaque dispositif 1 comprend un corps 3 et est adjacent au dispositif suivant selon l'une de ses faces latérales 4 et possède une ouverture d'introduction 5 dans laquelle est destiné à être introduit l'un des câbles électriques 6 ou 7. Les câbles 6 et 7 sont par exemple de diamètre différent, celui du câble 6 étant supérieur à celui du câble 7. En correspondance avec l'ouverture d'introduction 5, le dispositif de raccordement 1 possède une face 9 située sur un pan coupé. Cette face s'étend par exemple sensiblement perpendiculairement aux faces latérales 3.Figures 5 and 6 are cross-sectional views of the cables bearing pins, respectively along lines VV and VI-VI of Figure 1. The connection and / or electrical connection device shown in Figure 1 is more particularly in the form of a terminal block 1 mounted in a manner known per se on a rail 2. Several terminal blocks 1, in this case six, are mounted side by side on this rail. Each device 1 comprises a body 3 and is adjacent to the following device along one of its lateral faces 4 and has an introduction opening 5 into which one of the electrical cables 6 or 7 is intended to be introduced. The cables 6 and 7 are for example of different diameter, that of the cable 6 being greater than that of the cable 7. In correspondence with the introduction opening 5, the connection device 1 has a face 9 located on a cutaway. This face extends for example substantially perpendicular to the lateral faces 3.
Au moins une nervure 10 fait saillie du corps 3 à partir de la face 9 et est par exemple implantée à l'intérieur d'une rainure 11 ménagée dans la face 9.At least one rib 10 projects from the body 3 from the face 9 and is for example located inside a groove 11 formed in the face 9.
La nervure 10 est destinée à réceptionner au moins un repère 12 qui se présente sous la forme d'un étrier. La nervure 10 s'étend par exemple sur toute la longueur de rainure 11 et est de largeur un peu inférieure à la largeur de la rainure. Cette nervure est encore appelée porte-repère. Comme cela est connu en soi, le porte-repère 10 comprend un piedThe rib 10 is intended to receive at least one mark 12 which is in the form of a stirrup. The rib 10 extends for example over the entire length of groove 11 and is of width slightly less than the width of the groove. This rib is also called a marker carrier. As is known per se, the marker carrier 10 comprises a foot
15 et une coiffe terminale 16. Le pied 15 s'étend sur une certaine hauteur et possède une base 17 qui est solidaire du corps 3 et la coiffe terminale 16 est montée à l'opposé de la base 17, à l'extrémité du pied 15. Afin de pouvoir clipser le repère 12 sur le porte-repère 10, la largeur de la partie du pied 15 qui est adjacente à la coiffe terminale 16 est inférieure à la largeur de cette coiffe 16. Selon une caractéristique essentielle de la présente invention, le pied 15 de la nervure (ou porte-repère) 10 comprend au moins une première coiffe intermédiaire 20 qui est située sur la hauteur du pied, entre la base 17 de ce pied et la coiffe terminale 16. Il est ainsi possible de monter sur la même nervure 10, comme cela est représenté à la figure 3, des repères de tailles différentes.15 and a terminal cap 16. The foot 15 extends over a certain height and has a base 17 which is integral with the body 3 and the terminal cap 16 is mounted opposite the base 17, at the end of the foot 15. In order to be able to clip the mark 12 onto the mark holder 10, the width of the part of the leg 15 which is adjacent to the end cap 16 is less than the width of this cap 16. According to an essential characteristic of the present invention, the foot 15 of the rib (or marker carrier) 10 comprises at least a first intermediate cap 20 which is located on the height of the foot, between the base 17 of this foot and the end cap 16. It is thus possible to mount on the same rib 10, as shown in Figure 3, marks of different sizes.
Le repère 12 est de taille inférieure aux repères 13 et 14 représentés en trait mixte. Un repère identique au repère 12 peut être monté sur le câble électrique 7 qui est de diamètre inférieur au câble électrique 6 sur lequel est monté un repère identique au repère 13.The reference 12 is smaller than the references 13 and 14 shown in phantom. A mark identical to mark 12 can be mounted on the electric cable 7 which is of smaller diameter than the electric cable 6 on which a mark identical to mark 13 is mounted.
Les deux repères 12 et 13 viennent chacun en butée sur la coiffe terminale 16 tandis qu'ils sont retenus par la portion des coiffes terminale 16 et intermédiaire 20 tournées en direction du corps 3.The two pins 12 and 13 each come into abutment on the end cap 16 while they are retained by the portion of the end caps 16 and intermediate 20 facing towards the body 3.
A cet effet, la coiffe terminale 16 possède une face supérieure 21 tandis que la différence de largeur entre le pied 15 et cette coiffe 16 définit un épaulement 22. De même, la différence de largeur entre la première coiffe intermédiaire 20 et le pied 15 définit un deuxième épaulement 23 tourné en direction du corps 3.For this purpose, the end cap 16 has an upper face 21 while the difference in width between the foot 15 and this cap 16 defines a shoulder 22. Similarly, the difference in width between the first intermediate cap 20 and the foot 15 defines a second shoulder 23 turned towards the body 3.
Par ailleurs, le repère 12 est constitué d'une plaquette 25 et de deux jambes élastiques 26 et 27 qui s'étendent à partir de la plaquette 25 pour définir une forme en étrier, les jambes étant convergentes l'une vers l'autre. Les jambes 26 et 27 sont en outre élastiques de manière à pouvoir être clipsées sur la coiffe terminale 16, les extrémités libres des jambes 26 et 27 venant en butée contre l'épaulement 22 pour retenir le repère 12 sur la nervure 10.Furthermore, the reference 12 consists of a plate 25 and two elastic legs 26 and 27 which extend from the plate 25 to define a stirrup shape, the legs being convergent towards each other. The legs 26 and 27 are also elastic so that they can be clipped onto the end cap 16, the free ends of the legs 26 and 27 abutting against the shoulder 22 to retain the mark 12 on the rib 10.
De même, le repère 13 de plus grande dimension possède des jambes 28 et 29 de longueurs supérieures à celles des jambes 26 et 27 du repère 12 de manière à pouvoir enserrer un câble électrique de plus gros diamètre. Les jambes 28 et 29 viennent de manière élastique se clipser contre le deuxième épaulement 23 défini par la première coiffe intermédiaire 20.Similarly, the reference 13 of larger dimension has legs 28 and 29 of length greater than those of the legs 26 and 27 of the reference 12 so as to be able to grip an electric cable of larger diameter. The legs 28 and 29 resiliently snap against the second shoulder 23 defined by the first intermediate cap 20.
La première coiffe intermédiaire 20 est implantée sur le pied 15 à un niveau permettant de définir un espacement entre la coiffe principale 16 et l'épaulement 23 adapté à la longueur des jambes 28 et 29 du repère 13.The first intermediate cap 20 is located on the foot 15 at a level making it possible to define a spacing between the main cap 16 and the shoulder 23 adapted to the length of the legs 28 and 29 of the reference 13.
La largeur de la plaquette du repère 13 peut par exemple être identique à la largeur de la plaquette 25 du repère 12. De préférence, la première coiffe intermédiaire 20 est de largeur supérieure à celle de la coiffe terminale 16. Ceci permet de faciliter l'accrochage des jambes 28 et 29 lors du clipsage du repère 13.The width of the label 13 marker may for example be identical to the width of the label 25 marker 12. Preferably, the first intermediate cap 20 has a width greater than that of the terminal cap 16. This makes it possible to facilitate the attachment of the legs 28 and 29 when the reference 13 is clipped.
Afin d'obtenir un bon accrochage du pied 15 sur le corps 3, la largeur de la base 17 du pied 15 est supérieure au reste du pied et notamment à la portion du pied qui est adjacente à la coiffe terminale 16. En outre, afin de faciliter la fabrication de la nervure, celle-ci est venue de matière avec le bloc 3 et est d'un seul tenant.In order to obtain a good attachment of the foot 15 on the body 3, the width of the base 17 of the foot 15 is greater than the rest of the foot and in particular the portion of the foot which is adjacent to the end cap 16. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the manufacture of the rib, it came integrally with the block 3 and is in one piece.
Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, la coiffe terminale 16 est de section transversale carrée mais pourrait être en variante de toute autre forme de manière à définir une face d'appui 21 pour les repères 12 ou 13, et un épaulement 22 pour la venue en butée, par clipsage, des jambes du repère 12.In a preferred embodiment, the end cap 16 is of square cross section but could alternatively be of any other shape so as to define a bearing face 21 for the pins 12 or 13, and a shoulder 22 for the coming in. stop, by clipping, of the legs of the marker 12.
Dans encore une autre variante, le pied 15 de la nervure 10 possède une deuxième coiffe intermédiaire 30 qui permet d'immobiliser encore un autre repère 14, comme cela est représenté à la figure 3. Ce troisième repère 14 est de taille supérieure à celle du repère 13. Aussi, la deuxième coiffe intermédiaire 30 est implantée entre la base 17 du pied et la première coiffe intermédiaire 20 à un niveau adapté à la longueur des jambes du repère 14. De préférence, la largeur de la deuxième coiffe intermédiaire 30 est supérieure à celle de la première coiffe intermédiaire 20.In yet another variant, the foot 15 of the rib 10 has a second intermediate cap 30 which makes it possible to immobilize yet another mark 14, as shown in FIG. 3. This third mark 14 is larger than that of the reference 13. Also, the second intermediate cover 30 is located between the base 17 of the foot and the first intermediate cover 20 at a level adapted to the length of the legs of the reference 14. Preferably, the width of the second intermediate cover 30 is greater to that of the first intermediate cap 20.
De préférence encore, la hauteur des coiffes intermédiaires 20 et 30 est bien inférieure à la largeur de ces coiffes, de sorte que la deuxième coiffe intermédiaire 30 ne gêne pas le clipsage des jambes du repère 13 sur la première coiffe intermédiaire 20.More preferably, the height of the intermediate covers 20 and 30 is much less than the width of these covers, so that the second intermediate cover 30 does not interfere with the clipping of the legs of the reference 13 on the first intermediate cover 20.
On comprend ainsi qu'une même nervure (ou porte-repère) 10 peut porter des repères de taille différente grâce à l'implantation de coiffes intermédiaires en des niveaux différents. On peut ainsi repérer sur un même bloc de jonction des câbles de différents diamètres à l'aide de repères ayant des tailles différentes.It is thus understood that the same rib (or marker carrier) 10 can bear markers of different size thanks to the implantation of intermediate caps at different levels. We can thus identify on the same terminal block cables of different diameters using markers having different sizes.
Dans encore une autre variante, si l'épaisseur du bloc de jonction le permet, la même face 9 peut porter plusieurs nervures 10 en correspondance avec plusieurs ouvertures d'introduction de câbles électriques. Ces nervures sont alors parallèles les unes aux autres et sont identiques. Bien entendu, l'invention ne se limite pas à la seule forme de réalisation du dispositif décrit à titre d'exemple, elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. In yet another variant, if the thickness of the terminal block allows it, the same face 9 can carry several ribs 10 in correspondence with several openings for introducing electrical cables. These ribs are then parallel to each other and are identical. Of course, the invention is not limited to the single embodiment of the device described by way of example, on the contrary it embraces all variants.
