Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a power outlet.
  • the invention relates to a power outlet which can be quickly assembled and disassembled ease, which offers an advantage especially in the case by example of renovation of shops, offices and the like.
  • sockets are provided so conventional connection means in the form of terminals Tightening.
  • the sockets can be connected to electrical wires of the distribution network in removing the insulation from the ends of these wires, by inserting the bare ends in the clamp terminals and in then tightening the screws of the clamp terminals.
  • the assembly and disassembly, more specifically the connection of current of this type represents a long-term operation, not only because of the aforementioned manipulations, but also by the fact that the clamping terminals are not accessible only after having completely dismantled the case.
  • sockets the connection means of which consist of terminals in which it is enough to insert the end stripped of the wire of an electrical conductor to obtain automatically embedding.
  • this type of taking current already represents an improvement, the drawback that remains is that the ends of the wire must be removed from their insulation on site and that voltage poles and the grounding pole must be each connected separately, which takes time.
  • the object of the invention is to simplify and accelerate the assembly and disassembly of sockets.
  • the invention relates to a power outlet consisting of a housing which is provided with at least two contact sockets for a plug contact, taking current being provided with connection means which cooperate with the contact cells, the characteristic being that the connection means are made in the form of one or several connectors in the form of plug contacts, these connectors in the form of plug contacts being produced either in the form of a male plug, or in the form of a plug female.
  • connection in the form of connectors in the form of contacts with plugs you get the advantage of plug connections much simpler and faster current, simply by using connection cables which are also fitted with connectors and, when connecting, by proceeding simply at the reciprocal insertion of the cable connectors connection and sockets.
  • the socket outlet according to the invention comprises not only connectors with which we can proceed a connection on cables intended for this purpose which are also with connectors, but also connectors with which one can plug one into the other several power outlets of this type. In this way, we can easily install several sockets next to each other others.
  • connection means also include one or more several connectors in the form of plug contacts which cooperate with the earth contact in question.
  • the socket outlet includes a base, this base being provided with fastening means for a grounding contact, which are made in such a way that, during manufacturing, can selectively mount a type of ground axial or lateral type earthing on the base.
  • fastening means for a grounding contact are made in such a way that, during manufacturing, can selectively mount a type of ground axial or lateral type earthing on the base.
  • the invention relates an outlet 1 which, as is usually the case, includes a housing 2, as well as two contact cells 3 - 4 for the two usual voltage poles and, preferably also a grounding contact 5, as well as connection means 6 for connecting the cells of contact 3 - 4 and the earthing contact 5 to the distribution.
  • the contact cells 3 - 4 are constituted respectively by two opposite parts 7 - 8 to each other, which can be separated from each other by elastic by pressure and which, in this way, form housings 9 for the pins of a plug contact to be applied in the socket 1.
  • These cells of contact 3 - 4 can have any shape and does not need not be in the form alveoli.
  • the earthing contact 5 is made in the form a lateral type earthing and consists of two contact lips 10 - 11 which are connected to each other the other using a central part 12.
  • connection means 6 are made in the form of one or several connectors in the form of plug contacts, in the present case, in the form of two three-pole connectors, 13 and 14 respectively.
  • connectors in form of plug contacts in this case connectors which are made either in the form of a plug male, either in the form of a female plug.
  • the voltage poles 15 - 16 and the earthing pole 17 of connector 13 are made under the shape of a male plug, in other words are provided with a male contact element, more specifically a pin contact 18.
  • the voltage poles 19 - 20 and the reset pole the earth 21 of the connector 14 are produced in the form of a female plug and therefore have an element of female contact, more specifically a contact element 22 shaped like a cell.
  • the connectors 13 - 14 in the form of contacts to plugs are accessible, as shown, from the side external of housing 2, so that a connection of outside is possible without having to first open specified parts of the housing 2.
  • the socket 1 includes connectors, in the case has connectors 13 - 14, which allow plugging in direct reciprocal of several sockets 1 of this type.
  • the connectors 13-14 which allow reciprocal coupling two sockets 1, are applied on two sides opposite of the housing 2; however, it is quite clear that other possibilities are not excluded in accordance with a variant. This is how, for example, we could provide connectors on all four sides of the socket 1 of so that we could link to each other not only sockets in a single line, but also in two directions, that is to say, in the state as mounted on a wall, both in lateral direction that in height.
  • the two sockets 1 can be plugged into each other preferably from directly using their connectors 13 - 14. This does not, however, exclude the fact that, in accordance with a variant, we can work with elements intermediaries through which for example all connectors applied to sockets 1 can be made of the same way, for example in the form of connectors "males", the reciprocal connection of sockets 1 can then be carried out using an intermediate piece with two "female” connectors.
  • the socket 1 in the figures includes connectors 13 - 14 which consist of housings 23 in the form of sheaths, in the center of which are applied the elements of contact, respectively the aforementioned contact pins 18 and the contact elements 22 in the form of cells. of the analog type connectors are known per se and are marketed for example by the firm Wieland.
  • connection elements of connectors 13 - 14 are connected appropriately using electrical connections 24 - 25 with respectively the contact cells 3 - 4 and the earthing contact 5.
  • These connections can be any type and are therefore represented by quite schematic. It can be in the occurrence of connections using metallic wires, bonds formed by metallic lips which are produced in one piece with contact sockets 3 - 4 or with the earthing contact 5 and which are connected directly to the aforementioned contact elements, or any other kind of bond.
  • the socket 1 is preferably provided with locking elements 26 which allow two locks to be reciprocally locked current 1 of this type to each other.
  • these locking means 26 are produced in the form of a snap connection.
  • these locking means 26 are constituted by a locking element 27 in the form of a hook capable of bending resiliently able to cooperate with a locking element 28, in the form of an edge of a analog socket 1, which can be picked up by the rear the locking element 27 in the form of a hook.
  • these means are formed by a part 29 of the element of hook lock 27, accessible from the side external of the housing 2, on which one can exert a force P so that you can flex the locking element 27 to remove the lock and separate again one of the other the sockets 1 coupled.
  • the socket 1 can also include locking means by which you can make a locked connection with a connector 31 applied to the end of a cable 30, so that the connector 31 cannot separate itself from the connector 13 of the socket 1.
  • a possible embodiment in this case is represented schematically in the left side of figure 4, from which we can see that the aforementioned locking element 27 in the form of hook, during the implementation of a coupling between the socket 1 and connector 31, will hang behind a locking element 32 applied to the connector 31.
  • the housing 2 of the socket 1 is preferably composed of a base 33 and a structure 34.
  • the contact cells 3 - 4, the earthing contact 5 and connector 13 - 14 are applied to the base 33.
  • the structure 34 is composed of two parts, on the one hand a covering element 35 for the base 33 and on the other hand a wall element 36 which defines a seat for a plug contact.
  • connectors 13 - 14 in one piece with for example the housing 2 or with other elements of socket 1, we apply them preferably so that they can be disassembled in the case 2, for example by dragging them, as shown in Figure 6, using coupling elements 38, in the slots 39 provided in base 33.
  • FIG. 11 The use of 1 sockets of this type, plus specifically the assembly of these, is represented by schematically in Figure 11.
  • This figure represents a electrical circuit which is mainly composed of elements capable of being plugged into each other.
  • cables 30 equipped with connectors 31 to make the reciprocal connections between several respective components, including the sockets current 1.
  • These components include, in the example shown, in addition to the sockets 1, also a distribution box 45 which is for example of the type such as described in European patent application EP-A 0 778 635, a switch 46, a light point 47 and a fitting 48 on the power network. It is clear that by realizing the adequate connections in distribution channel 45 and in using suitable connection cables 30, we can fully realize the electrical circuit so say using plug-in type connections. Given that the reciprocal connections in the distribution box 45 can be carried out in advance in the factory, operations to the place of use intended for the electrical circuit can be implemented in a minimum of time.
  • FIG. 12 a variant is again represented by which an axial type earthing is used instead of a lateral type earthing.
  • the earthing contact 5 in this case presents a grounding pin 49 which in this case is fixed to a support element 50 which extends parallel to the plane of the base 33.
  • the assembly is provided with fixing means for the earthing element 5, as well as a contact grounding 5 itself in the form of a grounding lateral type or axial type earthing, the peculiarity resides in the fact that the fixing means and the respective earthing contacts 5 are made so that during production, you can go up to choice of axial type earthing or earthing lateral type on the base 33.
  • these fasteners therefore consist of a central element 51 on which the contact can be fixed earthing 5, in the case of earthing lateral type, using the central part 12 and in the case an axial type earthing using the support 50.
  • the fixing itself can take place in the occurrence using a screw, a rivet 52 or any what other means of connection.
  • the contact cells 3 - 4 in which the user can insert the plug of any device are arranged diagonally in the example. Such a provision in position diagonal offers the advantage that an optimal place is obtained for the arrangement of contact cells 3 - 4. Of course, it is not excluded, according to a variant, to place the contact sockets 3 - 4 in another way compared to the case 2.
  • the case 2 is presented in a square form in the example shown but it can also take another form.
  • a multipole connector 13 - 14 must not necessarily consist of contact elements which are all formed by male parts or by parts females.
  • a single multipole connector 13 - 14 can also be provided with mixed contact elements.
  • socket 1 It is also clear that the subordinate characteristics of socket 1 can be combined as desired, according to variants.
