Definitions
- the present invention relates to a screw terminal having a crossed cage by a connection tab specific to the device, the screw being associated with a clamp to tighten a cable between it and the connection lug. She also relates to a terminal block with insulating body associated with an electrical appliance at low voltage and comprising in insulating housings several such screw terminals.
- Screw terminals of this type are well known. They allow you to connect a cable to the device with which they are associated without first having strip the end of the cable. It is desirable to make such terminals in a simple manner, with nevertheless a very good quality of tightening, and, in some cases, using connection devices capable of receive one or two non-stripped cables in each terminal.
- the object of the invention is to facilitate the production and mounting of terminals and terminal blocks meeting these requirements.
- the wings of the stirrup have at their free end and towards inside the U a retaining heel for the cable; the stirrup soul understands two ribs whose height is substantially equal to or greater than the thickness of the insulating sheath of the cable to be tightened, these ribs being located each near a wing of the contact piece.
- a second stirrup facing the first is provided at the bottom of the cage bracket, as well as two contact pieces in the cage and between the brackets with insulation piercing claws mounted back to back and applicable against opposite sides of the connection tab.
- connection terminal block with associated insulating body.
- a low-voltage electrical appliance comprising in housings insulators several screw terminals described, the insulating body of the device authorizing the sliding of the cage and being provided with passages for the connection ranges.
- the terminal block is removable and has near the passage of each connection pad a pre-positioning relief for a contact part.
- Figure 1 shows in perspective from below an electrical device provided with the terminal block according to the invention, with partial cut-out at the level one of the terminals.
- Figure 2 similarly shows an exploded part of the terminal block.
- Figure 3 is a bottom view of the device, without its terminal block.
- Figure 4 is a bottom view with partial section of the terminal block body.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 are elevation views of a terminal according to the invention, respectively in the loose state and in the tight state.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 show the terminal in section along plane B of FIG. 5, respectively in the loose and tight states.
- Figure 9 shows a screw-clamp assembly specific to the terminal.
- Figure 10 shows in perspective a claw contact part specific to the thick headed.
- the device shown in the figures is a multipolar electrical device with low voltage which can have a connection function or a function of interruption, for example in the latter case of the contactor type, contactor-circuit breaker or circuit breaker.
- the device includes a case 10 of generally parallelepiped shape having a front face 11, a rear face 12 for attachment to a support not indicated, side faces 13.14 and upper and lower faces 15.16. It is provided projecting from the underside 16 of the tabs or flat plugs 17 which form the ranges of connection corresponding to the different poles.
- the terms forward, backward, etc. are of course chosen in relation to the usual mounting direction of the device on its support.
- a terminal block 20 is fixed against the underside 16 of the device by means of usual means not indicated.
- the terminal block has an insulating body with of a front face 21, of a rear face 22, of lateral sides 23, 24 and of upper and lower faces 25.26; it consists of a base 27 and a cover 28 attached permanently or removable by snap-fastening or any other means on the base.
- Terminal block 20 includes three slots 29 separated by partitions for as many clamping terminals 30 cables.
- the indicated terminals are double, that is to say intended to receive two conductors, but they could also be simple.
- Each terminal is of the screw type 34 cooperating with a tapped hole provided in a mobile and guided cage 35 in the housing 29.
- the terminal is designed to clamp two cables in separate locations and includes this effect two stirrups 41.42 in general U shape and two grip pieces contact 51.52 with claws also in a general U shape.
- the cage 35 comprises a front wall 35a provided with the tapped hole 35b, a bottom 35c, side walls 35d, 35e which connect the front wall to the bottom and openings upper and lower 35f, 35g passage for cables and lug 17 to Connect.
- the screw 34 is secured in translation with the stirrup 41, by example by a pin, without causing it to rotate (see Figure 9).
- Each stirrup 41,42 comprises a core 43 and two wings 44,45.
- Soul 43 of the stirrup 41 is applicable against the end of the screw 34 and its wings 44, 45 are guided along the side walls 35d, 35e of the cage.
- Stirrup soul 43 42 is applied against the bottom 35c of the cage or merged with this bottom (see Figures 5 to 8) and its two wings 44,45 are provided projecting from at the walls 35d, 35e of the cage.
- the stirrup wings 44,45 have at their free end and towards the inside of the U a heel 46 for retaining the cable at the loosening.
- the core 43 of the stirrups carries inwardly of the U two ribs 47 whose height is substantially equal to or greater than the thickness of the insulating sheath of cable C to be tightened, these ribs being each located proximity, or even directly in contact, of a wing 54.55 of the contact part 51.52.
- the contact parts 51, 52 are identical to each other; they understand each (see FIG. 10) a core 53 applied against the connection tab 17 associated and two wings 54,55 ending in claws 56. While the wings 44, 45 of the stirrups 41 are adjacent to the side walls 35d, 35e of the cage, the wings 54.55 of the contact parts 51.52 are located towards the openings 35f, 35g of the cage; contact parts are placed back to back against the two large opposite faces 17a, 17b of the tab 17 and the stirrups 41.42 penetrate during tightening into the contact parts 51.52 with guiding and nesting their end faces in U 48 against the faces internal wings 54.55.
- the length of the core 53 of the contact piece is substantially equal to or slightly less than the width of the side walls 35d, 35th from the cage.
- the upper face 25 of the terminal block has three passages 25a for the tabs connection 17 and, on either side of these passages, reliefs or prepositioning projections 25b each having to cooperate with a recess 57 formed in a wing 54 or 55 of the contact part.
- the height of the passage is provided slightly higher than that of the relief to allow the contact part to pass without difficulty from its prepositioning state in its application position against the tab 17.
- the terminal block described is assembled and operates as follows.
- the cages 35 are arranged in their respective housings 29 of the base 27, with the stirrups 41,42 and the contact parts 51,52; these are prepositioned by cooperation of one of their recesses 57 with a relief respective 25b of the terminal block, so that it can be applied against the faces 17a, 17b of the legs 17.
- the cover 28 is fixed to the base 27 to close the terminal block and this can be removably attached to the housing 10 of the device, whose legs 17 penetrate the passages 25a to introduce themselves between parts 51.52.
- the cable is introduced into the opening 32, so that it is placed between the wings 44, 45 of the stirrup 42, then the screw 34 is turned; this one does descend the stirrup 41 until it stops on the part 51 or the face 17a of the connection lug 17, then by reaction causes the cage to rise towards orifice 35b 35 secured to the bracket 42.
- the cable is pressed against the contact piece 52 and the claws 56 release the insulating sheath of the cable, which ensures the connection desired between the cable core, the part 52 and the tab 17 against which it is applied; the connection is completed by pressing the cable against the ribs 47; these crush or shear the sheath and can come into contact with the cable core.
