Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil électrique étanche.The present invention relates to a waterproof electrical appliance.

Plus particulièrement, la présente invention vise un appareil électrique étanche comportant une prise électrique femelle pour le branchement d'un câble électrique muni d'une prise mâle. L'appareil comporte un passage du câble électrique qui est étanche lorsqu'il est fermé.More particularly, the present invention relates to an electrical appliance waterproof with a female electrical outlet for cable connection electric fitted with a male plug. The device has a cable passage electric which is waterproof when closed.

On connaít, par le brevet publié sous le numéro GB 2,269,485 déposé par la société MK Electric Limited, un appareil électrique étanche à prise femelle pour le branchement d'une fiche à sortie latérale. Cependant, la prise électrique femelle n'accepte pas les fiches à sortie droite.We know by the patent published under number GB 2,269,485 filed by MK Electric Limited, a waterproof electrical appliance with a female socket for the connection of a plug with lateral output. However, the electrical outlet female does not accept plugs with straight outlet.

L'invention vise à résoudre ce problème en proposant une prise électrique à fermeture étanche, quel que soit le type de fiche mâle, et en particulier acceptant aussi bien une fiche à sortie droite qu'une fiche à sortie latérale, sans affecter l'étanchéité. Dans la suite de la description on désigne par "fiche à sortie droite" une fiche dans laquelle la sortie du câble (c'est-à-dire le raccordement entre l'extrémité du câble et le corps de la fiche) est parallèle aux broches mâles de cette fiche et par "fiche à sortie latérale" une fiche dans laquelle la sortie du câble est sensiblement perpendiculaire aux broches mâles de cette fiche.The invention aims to solve this problem by proposing an electrical outlet with watertight closure, whatever the type of male plug, and in particular accepts both a straight outlet plug and a side outlet plug, without affect sealing. In the following description, the term "output card" is used. right "a plug in which the cable outlet (i.e. the connection between the end of the cable and the body of the plug) is parallel to the male pins of this sheet and by "side outlet plug" a sheet in which the output of the cable is substantially perpendicular to the male pins of this plug.

Plus précisément l'invention concerne un appareil électrique étanche comportant un boítier contenant une prise électrique femelle pour le branchement d'un câble électrique muni d'une fiche mâle, le boítier comportant un passage du câble électrique, le passage étant étanche lorsque le boítier est fermé, caractérisé en ce que la prise électrique femelle est adaptée à pivoter pour donner une position optimale au câble électrique dans ledit passage, pour plusieurs types de fiches.More specifically, the invention relates to a waterproof electrical appliance comprising a box containing a female electrical outlet for the connection of an electric cable provided with a male plug, the housing comprising a passage of the electric cable, the passage being sealed when the housing is closed, characterized in that the female electrical outlet is adapted to pivot to give an optimal position to the electric cable in said passage, for several types of cards.

Ainsi, le câble électrique occupe toujours une même position prédéterminée dans le passage de câble. Ceci permet d'assurer une étanchéité optimale autour du câble.Thus, the electric cable always occupies the same position predetermined in the cable passage. This ensures a seal optimal around the cable.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, la prise électrique femelle est adaptée à prendre naturellement une inclinaison quelconque correspondant au type de fiche utilisé, permettant d'obtenir la position optimale du câble électrique dans ledit passage étanche. According to a particular characteristic, the female electrical outlet is adapted to naturally take any inclination corresponding to the type of plug used, to obtain the optimal position of the electric cable in said sealed passage.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le boítier comporte un couvercle et un socle étanches et des moyens d'étanchéité adaptés à assurer l'étanchéité entre le couvercle et le socle lorsque le boítier est fermé. Le couvercle et le socle comportent chacun une demi-ouverture sur une face avant, les demi-ouvertures se rejoignant pour former le passage de câble lorsque le boítier est fermé.According to a particular characteristic, the case has a cover and a waterproof base and sealing means adapted to ensure sealing between the cover and the base when the case is closed. The cover and the base each have a half-opening on a front face, the half-openings meeting to form the cable passage when the housing is closed.

Le passage de câble est ainsi défini entre le couvercle et le socle du boítier. Cet agencement facilite la mise en place et le retrait du câble électrique, et de façon plus générale procure une bonne accessibilité à la prise électrique.The cable passage is thus defined between the cover and the base of the housing. This arrangement facilitates the installation and removal of the electric cable, and more generally provides good accessibility to the electrical outlet.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le socle comporte une margelle interne définissant un cadre, en retrait par rapport à un bord du socle, la margelle interne s'étendant à partir de parois latérales du socle et comportant une gorge autour du cadre. La gorge contient un joint d'étanchéité. Le couvercle possède une jupe, conformée pour prendre position dans la gorge et comprimer le joint d'étanchéité lorsque ledit boítier est fermé.According to a particular characteristic, the base includes a coping internal defining a frame, set back from an edge of the base, the internal coping extending from the side walls of the base and comprising a groove around the frame. The groove contains a seal. Lid has a skirt, shaped to take position in the throat and compress the seal when said housing is closed.

Ceci permet d'assurer une bonne étanchéité du boítier lorsqu'il est fermé.This ensures a good seal of the housing when closed.

Classiquement, le boítier est monté sur une boíte fixée à une paroi, comportant une entrée pour le passage d'un câble d'alimentation de la prise femelle.Conventionally, the box is mounted on a box fixed to a wall, having an inlet for the passage of a power cable from the socket female.

Selon une autre caractéristique particulière, la prise électrique femelle est montée sur un support pivotant, articulé audit socle.According to another particular characteristic, the female electrical outlet is mounted on a pivoting support, articulated to said base.

Dans une première inclinaison, le support pivotant est sensiblement parallèle au plan de montage de ladite boíte.In a first inclination, the pivoting support is substantially parallel to the mounting plane of said box.

Dans une deuxième inclinaison, le support pivotant fait approximativement un angle de 70° avec ce plan de montage.In a second inclination, the pivoting support is approximately an angle of 70 ° with this mounting plane.

Selon une autre caractéristique, l'appareil électrique comporte un ressort qui tend à ramener le support pivotant dans ladite première inclinaison.According to another characteristic, the electrical appliance comprises a spring which tends to bring the pivoting support into said first inclination.

Ainsi, en l'absence de branchement d'une fiche, le support pivotant, est sensiblement parallèle audit plan de montage. Le branchement d'une fiche se fait toujours dans cette position, ce qui permet une manipulation facile. Le support pivote ensuite, lorsque nécessaire, pour que le câble électrique prenne sa position optimale dans ledit passage.Thus, if there is no plug connection, the pivoting support is substantially parallel to said assembly plan. Plugging in a plug is always done in this position, allowing easy handling. The support then pivots, when necessary, so that the electrical cable takes its optimal position in said passage.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, le couvercle et le socle comportent chacun un demi-joint d'étanchéité fixé contre une partie interne de la face avant de celui-ci. Les demi-joints sont adaptés à coopérer pour assurer l'étanchéité du passage de câble lorsque le boítier est fermé.According to a particular characteristic, the cover and the base include each half a gasket fixed against an internal part of the front face of it. The half-seals are adapted to cooperate to ensure the tightness of the cable passage when the housing is closed.

Ces demi-joints sont conformés pour assurer l'étanchéité au niveau du passage de câble électrique, qu'un câble y soit positionné ou non.These half-joints are shaped to ensure sealing at the level of the passage of electric cable, whether a cable is positioned there or not.

On comprendra mieux l'invention à la lumière de la description qui va suivre donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1a représente un appareil électrique en perspective, selon l'invention, ouvert, après branchement d'une fiche électrique à sortie latérale ;

The invention will be better understood in the light of the description which follows, given by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1a represents an electrical appliance in perspective, according to the invention, open, after connection of an electrical plug with lateral output;
  • FIG. 1b represents the electrical device in perspective, according to the invention, open, after connection of an electrical plug with straight output;

Les figures 1a à 2b représentent un appareil électrique étanche 100 conforme à l'invention. Figures 1a to 2b show a sealed electrical device 100 according to the invention.

L'appareil électrique 100 comporte un boítier 110 essentiellement composé d'un couvercle 112 et d'un socle 114, tous les deux étanches, ici en matière plastique. Bien entendu, ces éléments pourraient être métalliques, par exemple en alliage dénommé ZAMAK ou autre. Le boítier 110 est installé sur une boíte 109 de montage, destinée à être fixée à une paroi. La boíte est ici en matière plastique ; elle pourrait être métallique.The electrical appliance 100 comprises a housing 110 essentially composed of a cover 112 and a base 114, both waterproof, here in plastic material. Of course, these elements could be metallic, for example example in alloy called ZAMAK or other. Box 110 is installed on a mounting box 109, intended to be fixed to a wall. The box is here in plastic material ; it could be metallic.

Le socle 114 comprend une prise électrique femelle 120 pour le raccordement d'un câble électrique C muni d'une fiche mâle PM.The base 114 includes a female electrical outlet 120 for the connection of an electric cable C provided with a PM male plug.

La boíte 109 comporte une entrée 111 pour un câble d'alimentation non représenté permettant de raccorder la prise électrique femelle 120 à un réseau électrique. The box 109 has an inlet 111 for a non-power cable shown to connect the female electrical outlet 120 to a network electric.

Le couvercle 112 est monté articulé sur le socle 114. Ces deux éléments comportent chacun une demi-ouverture, respectivement 113 et 115 sur une face avant, lesdites ouvertures se rejoignant pour former un passage 116 pour le câble C, lorsque le boítier 110 est fermé.The cover 112 is mounted articulated on the base 114. These two elements each have a half-opening, respectively 113 and 115 on one side before, said openings joining to form a passage 116 for the cable C, when the housing 110 is closed.

Un demi-joint 15 est fixé sur une partie interne de la face avant du couvercle 112 et du joint 114, respectivement. Ces demi-joints 15 assurent l'étanchéité autour du câble électrique C, dans le passage 116, lorsque le boítier 110 est fermé.A half-joint 15 is fixed on an internal part of the front face of the cover 112 and seal 114, respectively. These half-joints 15 ensure the tightness around the electric cable C, in the passage 116, when the housing 110 is closed.

La prise électrique femelle 120 est montée sur un support 140 pivotant autour d'un axe de rotation, représenté par la lettre O sur les figures 2a et 2b. Cet axe de rotation est, par exemple, matérialisé par des tourillons latéraux du support pivotant 140, engagés dans des chapes ou analogues définies sur le socle 114. Les tourillons latéraux et les chapes ne sont pas visibles sur les dessins.The female electrical outlet 120 is mounted on a pivoting support 140 about an axis of rotation, represented by the letter O in Figures 2a and 2b. This axis of rotation is, for example, materialized by lateral pins of the pivoting support 140, engaged in yokes or the like defined on the base 114. The side pins and the yokes are not visible on the drawings.

Le support pivotant 140 est adapté à prendre au moins deux inclinaisons représentées respectivement sur les figures 2a et 2b. Le support pivotant 140 est ainsi adapté à donner une même position optimale au câble électrique C dans le passage 116, quel que soit le type de fiche mâle.The pivoting support 140 is adapted to take at least two inclinations shown respectively in Figures 2a and 2b. The pivoting support 140 is thus adapted to give the same optimal position to the electric cable C in passage 116, regardless of the type of plug.

Le socle 114 comporte un ressort de rappel 170 qui tend à ramener le support pivotant 140 dans la première inclinaison précitée, c'est-à-dire sensiblement parallèle à la base 165 de la boíte 109. Cette inclinaison est donc celle du support pivotant 140 en l'absence de câble électrique C.The base 114 includes a return spring 170 which tends to bring the pivoting support 140 in the first aforementioned inclination, that is to say substantially parallel to the base 165 of the box 109. This inclination is therefore that of the pivoting support 140 in the absence of electric cable C.

Le ressort 170 est monté sous contrainte entre, d'une part une butée 171 solidaire du socle 114, et d'autre part une butée 172 fixée sur le support pivotant 140. La boucle centrale 173 du ressort de rappel 170 est fixée sur un élément d'accrochage du socle 114.The spring 170 is mounted under stress between, on the one hand, a stop 171 integral with the base 114, and on the other hand a stop 172 fixed on the pivoting support 140. The central loop 173 of the return spring 170 is fixed to an element for hanging the base 114.

Le socle 114 comporte une margelle interne 130 définissant un cadre. Ce dernier est décalé en profondeur par rapport à un bord 132 du socle 114.The base 114 includes an internal coping 130 defining a frame. This the latter is offset in depth with respect to an edge 132 of the base 114.

La margelle interne 130 s'étend à partir de parois latérales 135 du socle 114, et comporte une gorge 150 en tournant le support pivotant 140 et se prolongeant jusqu'au demi-joint 15 situé sur la face avant du socle 114, de part et d'autre de celui-ci. La gorge 150 contient un joint d'étanchéité non représenté. The internal coping 130 extends from lateral walls 135 of the base 114, and has a groove 150 by turning the pivoting support 140 and extending to the half-joint 15 located on the front face of the base 114, on the one hand and other of it. The groove 150 contains a seal, not shown.

Le couvercle 112 comporte une jupe 160, conformée pour prendre position dans la gorge 150 et comprimer le joint d'étanchéité lorsque le boítier 110 est fermé. La jupe 160 et la gorge 150, constituent ainsi, en coopération avec le joint d'étanchéité contenu dans la gorge 150, des moyens d'étanchéité du boítier 110, lorsque celui-ci est fermé.The cover 112 comprises a skirt 160, shaped to take position in the groove 150 and compress the seal when the housing 110 is closed. The skirt 160 and the groove 150 thus constitute, in cooperation with the seal contained in the groove 150, sealing means of the housing 110, when the latter is closed.

La figure 2a représente l'appareil électrique 100 selon la coupe IIa-IIa, lorsque la fiche mâle PM est du type à sortie latérale. Le support pivotant 140 est alors dans une première inclinaison dite de repos, sensiblement parallèle au plan de fixation de l'appareil, c'est-à-dire la base 165 de la boíte 109. FIG. 2a represents the electrical device 100 according to section IIa-IIa, when the male plug PM is of the type with lateral outlet. The pivoting support 140 is then in a first so-called rest inclination, substantially parallel to the plane of attachment of the device, that is to say the base 165 of the box 109.

La figure 2b représente l'appareil électrique 100 selon la coupe IIb-IIb, lorsque la prise male PM est du type à sortie droite. Le support pivotant 140 est alors dans une deuxième inclinaison, faisant approximativement un angle de 70° avec la base 165. FIG. 2b represents the electrical apparatus 100 according to section IIb-IIb, when the male PM plug is of the straight output type. The pivoting support 140 is then in a second inclination, making approximately an angle of 70 ° with the base 165.

Il apparaít en comparant ces deux figures que la position du câble électrique C dans le passage 116, et son orientation générale, sont les mêmes.It appears by comparing these two figures that the position of the cable electric C in passage 116, and its general orientation, are the same.

Dans le mode préféré de réalisation décrit ici, le socle 114 comporte un berceau 175 faisant saillie latéralement, (normalement vers le bas après montage), pour recevoir le câble électrique C. Le couvercle 112 comporte une extension 180 correspondant au berceau 175, conformée pour épouser le berceau 175 lorsque le boítier 110 est fermé.In the preferred embodiment described here, the base 114 includes a cradle 175 protruding laterally, (normally down after mounting), to receive the electric cable C. The cover 112 has a extension 180 corresponding to cradle 175, shaped to match the cradle 175 when the housing 110 is closed.

Le berceau 175 et l'extension 180 du couvercle 112 comportent des moyens 185a, 185b de fermeture du boítier 110 par encliquetage, situés à proximité du passage 116. Ces moyens sont par exemple réalisés par des agrafes 185a du berceau 175, adaptées à s'accrocher dans des trous 185b de l'extension 180.The cradle 175 and the extension 180 of the cover 112 have means 185a, 185b for closing the housing 110 by snap-fastening, located at proximity to passage 116. These means are for example produced by staples 185a of cradle 175, suitable for hanging in holes 185b of extension 180.

Les moyens de fermeture 185a, 185b étant situés à proximité du passage 116 de câble électrique, ils assurent un bon contact entre les demi-joints 15 et donc une étanchéité optimale autour du passage de câble.The closure means 185a, 185b being located near the passage 116 of electric cable, they ensure good contact between the half-joints 15 and therefore an optimal seal around the cable passage.

La figure 3 représente un demi-joint 15 adapté à être monté sur un l'appareil électrique 100. FIG. 3 represents a half-joint 15 adapted to be mounted on an electrical appliance 100.

Le demi-joint 15 est constitué en matière déformable élastique étanche 20, la matière déformable 20 étant surmoulée sur un support rigide 25. Cette matière déformable 20 est par exemple réalisée en matière thermoplastique souple du type connu sous l'abréviation SEBS (pour Styrène Etylene-Butylene-Styrene, en anglais).The half-seal 15 is made of deformable elastic elastic material 20, the deformable material 20 being overmolded on a rigid support 25. This deformable material 20 is for example made of thermoplastic material flexible of the type known by the abbreviation SEBS (for Styrene Etylene-Butylene-Styrene, in English).

Le support rigide 25 est de section trapézoïdale, adaptée pour être montée sur l'appareil électrique 100. Il comporte une face de serrage 45 creusée en son milieu d'une échancrure 30 contenant de la matière déformable élastique étanche 20, dans laquelle sont réalisées des découpes 35a, 35b, 35c.The rigid support 25 is of trapezoidal section, adapted to be mounted on the electrical device 100. It has a clamped face 45 hollowed out in the middle of a notch 30 containing elastic deformable material sealed 20, in which cuts 35a, 35b, 35c are made.

Ces découpes 35a, 35b, 35c sont de forme oblongue en U et de sections décroissantes à partir d'une face interne 40 du bloc de matière 20, c'est-à-dire celle qui se trouve à l'intérieur du socle.These cutouts 35a, 35b, 35c are of oblong shape in U and of sections decreasing from an internal face 40 of the block of material 20, that is to say the one inside the base.

Pour chaque demi-joint la matière déformable 20 s'étend aussi sur toute la surface de serrage du support rigide 25, de part et d'autre de l'échancrure 30.For each half-joint the deformable material 20 also extends over the entire clamping surface of the rigid support 25, on either side of the notch 30.

Lorsque les faces de serrage 45 de chaque demi-joint 15 sont face à face et au plus près l'une de l'autre, les découpes 35a, 35b, 35c reconstituent des évidements 50a, 50b, 50c sensiblement coaxiaux pour le passage du câble électrique C, comme représenté figure 4.When the clamping faces 45 of each half-joint 15 are face to face and as close as possible to each other, the cutouts 35a, 35b, 35c reconstitute recesses 50a, 50b, 50c substantially coaxial for the passage of the cable electric C, as shown in figure 4.

En variante, la matière déformable 20 peut être directement surmoulée à l'intérieur du socle et à l'intérieur du couvercle.Alternatively, the deformable material 20 can be directly overmolded to inside the base and inside the cover.

Dans l'exemple représenté figure 4, les évidements 50a, 50b, 50c ont des contours circulaires. Bien entendu, ils pourraient avoir d'autres formes adaptées à des câbles de sections de formes différentes.In the example shown in Figure 4, the recesses 50a, 50b, 50c have circular contours. Of course, they could have other adapted forms cables of different shapes.

Comme représenté à la figure 3, les découpes 35a, 35b, 35c ne débouchent pas sur une face externe 60 du bloc de matière déformable élastique étanche 20 du demi-joint 15.As shown in FIG. 3, the cutouts 35a, 35b, 35c do not not lead to an external face 60 of the block of deformable material waterproof elastic 20 of the half-seal 15.

Dans le mode de réalisation préféré décrit ici, chaque demi-joint 15 comporte des lamelles 65 de matière élastique déformable étanche 20 s'étendant au-dessus de la face de serrage 45, les lamelles 65 étant sensiblement parallèles entre elles, et perpendiculaires à l'axe d'alignement x', x des évidements 35a, 35b, 35c.In the preferred embodiment described here, each half-joint 15 includes lamellae 65 of waterproof deformable elastic material 20 extending above the clamping face 45, the strips 65 being substantially parallel to each other, and perpendicular to the alignment axis x ', x recesses 35a, 35b, 35c.

Les lamelles 65 de chaque demi-joint 15 sont conformées pour s'imbriquer les unes dans les autres lorsque les faces de serrage 45 des demi-joints 15 sont face à face et au plus près l'une de l'autre.The lamellae 65 of each half-joint 15 are shaped to overlap one another when the clamping faces 45 of the half-joints 15 are face to face and as close as possible to each other.

De manière préférée, au moins la lamelle extérieure 65a n'est pas découpée. Preferably, at least the outer strip 65a is not cut.

Lorsqu'un câble électrique C est positionné dans l'échancrure 30 du demi-joint équipant le berceau 175, il traverse la face interne 40 du bloc de matière 20, puis les découpes 35a, 35b, 35c. Il repose ensuite sur au moins une lamelle de matière élastique déformable étanche 65a non découpée puis traverse la face externe 60 du bloc de matière 20.When an electric cable C is positioned in the notch 30 of the half-joint equipping the cradle 175, it crosses the internal face 40 of the block of material 20, then the cutouts 35a, 35b, 35c. It then rests on at least one strip of waterproof deformable elastic material 65a not cut then crosses the face external 60 of the material block 20.

Lorsque les faces de serrage 45 des demi-joints 15 sont face à face et au plus près l'une de l'autre, l'étanchéité autour du câble électrique C est réalisée à plusieurs niveaux.When the clamping faces 45 of the half-seals 15 are face to face and at closer to each other, the sealing around the electric cable C is carried out several levels.

L'étanchéité est tout d'abord réalisée par la matière déformable étanche 20 au niveau de la face externe 60, puis au niveau des découpes 35c, 35b et 35a.Sealing is first of all achieved by the deformable waterproof material 20 at the outer face 60, then at the cutouts 35c, 35b and 35a.

L'étanchéité au niveau de la face externe 60 peut être imparfaite puisqu'elle ne permet pas d'éviter la formation d'un espace en forme de lèvres autour du câble C.The seal at the outer face 60 may be imperfect since it does not prevent the formation of a space in the shape of lips around cable C.

Cependant, les chicanes constituées par les lamelles 65 limitent la progression de l'humidité éventuelle vers l'intérieur du joint 10.However, the baffles formed by the lamellae 65 limit the progression of any humidity towards the interior of the seal 10.

Enfin et surtout, les évidements 50a, 50b, 50c sont tels qu'il y en a toujours un adapté à la section du câble C. A son niveau, la matière déformable étanche 20 épouse au plus près le câble C, par excès et assure une étanchéité optimale.Finally and above all, the recesses 50a, 50b, 50c are such that there are always suitable for the section of cable C. At its level, the deformable material waterproof 20 conforms as closely as possible to the cable C, and provides a seal optimal.

Dans l'exemple représenté, le boítier est constitué d'un socle et d'un couvercle articulé à ce socle. Cependant, le couvercle peut être indépendant du socle et prévu pour être monté et fixé par vis (ou moyens analogues) sur le reste du boítier.In the example shown, the housing consists of a base and a cover hinged to this base. However, the cover can be independent of the base and designed to be mounted and fixed by screws (or similar means) on the rest of the case.
