Definitions

  • the present invention relates to interconnection devices used in particular and not exclusively to ensure the interconnection of connection terminals and / or connecting arranged in line.
  • the invention relates to an interconnection device comprising a first and a second interconnection combs arranged opposite each other and which each comprise a connecting bar, and teeth that extend substantially perpendicularly from the connecting bar, the device comprising elastic teeth and rigid teeth.
  • Such an interconnection device is used to connect several electrical conductors and put them at the same potential. More particularly, this device makes it possible to interconnect conductive strips in which slots are made to receive each two teeth of the device located opposite each other.
  • Such devices are in particular known from the document EP-678,934 in which are arranged vis-à-vis two interconnection combs.
  • One of these combs comprises only rigid teeth and the other comb comprises only elastic teeth, the rigid teeth being made of an electrically conductive material to ensure the passage of the current while the elastic teeth being made of stainless steel and have a sufficient elasticity to ensure good contact with the rigid teeth.
  • the elastic teeth are deformed so that the interconnection device as a whole is unbalanced, it can for example tilt under the effect of elastic forces all acting in the same direction.
  • only one is conductive, there is a heating effort due to the passage of the current.
  • the present invention is intended to overcome these disadvantages by providing an interconnection device that is balanced while having good electrical conductivity and with simple, effective and inexpensive means.
  • the interconnection device of the aforementioned type is essentially characterized in that the teeth of each of the first and second combs are alternately rigid and elastic, and in that the elastic teeth and the rigid teeth of the first comb are respectively located opposite the rigid teeth and elastic teeth of the second comb.
  • the interconnection device has pairs of teeth in which one of the teeth is able to take up the elastic forces of the other of the teeth while each pair of teeth exerts an elastic force whose direction is opposite to the elastic force exerted by the neighboring pair.
  • the interconnection device is thus as a whole balanced.
  • the teeth of the first and second combs are all made of an electrically conductive material.
  • one of the teeth does not undergo a rise in temperature higher than the other of the teeth.
  • the resilient teeth each comprise a base section and an end section which form between them an obtuse angle.
  • the base section forms an angle with the plane in which is inscribed the connecting bar.
  • the resilient teeth each comprise a depression of short length relative to the length of the teeth, which is turned away from the rigid tooth opposite and which extends over the base and end sections.
  • the rigid teeth are of concave cross section, whose concavity is turned towards the elastic tooth opposite.
  • the elastic teeth and the rigid teeth each have free ends that converge towards the tooth opposite.
  • the connecting bars of the first and second combs are integrally formed by being folded over one another.
  • the first and second combs are made of a cuprous alloy material.
  • the figure 1 represents an interconnection device 1 and four link bars 2 which are associated with a connection terminal and / or connection, not shown. These connecting bars are arranged in line, and each comprise a slot 3 of substantially rectangular shape, extending transversely relative to the bar. The different slots 3 are aligned with each other to allow the realization of an interconnection between at least two connecting bars 2.
  • the interconnection device 1 comprises a first interconnection comb 5 and a second interconnection comb 6 which are arranged vis-a-vis.
  • Each of these two interconnection combs 5, 6 has a connecting bar 8, also called the base of the comb. From each of these connecting bars 8 extends a number of teeth.
  • each comb comprises ten teeth which extend substantially perpendicularly from the respective connecting bar 8, and which are divided into two groups of teeth, on the one hand, elastic teeth 10 and, on the other hand, on the other hand, rigid teeth 11.
  • the succession of teeth alternately comprises elastic teeth 10 and teeth 11.
  • Each tooth of the first comb 5 is located opposite a tooth of the second comb 6 and the elastic teeth 10 of the first comb 5 are offset relative to the elastic teeth 10 of the second comb 6, so that an elastic tooth 10 of the first comb 5 is located facing a rigid tooth 11 of the second comb 6.
  • each pair of teeth located opposite has an elastic tooth and a rigid tooth, and in the succession of pairs of teeth of the interconnection device 1, each pair is the mirror symmetry of a neighboring pair.
  • each resilient and rigid tooth 11 is of generally rectangular shape and is made of an electrically conductive material.
  • each elastic tooth 10 comprises a base section 12 situated on the side of the connecting bar 8 and an opposite end section 13 situated forwardly in the direction of insertion of the tooth into one of the connecting bars 2
  • the base section 12 forms an acute angle with the end section 13, so that the elastic tooth 10 is elastically deformable perpendicularly to the plane of the interconnection device 1.
  • each elastic tooth 10 further comprises a depression 14 which extends both on the base section 12 and the end section 13. This depression is of short length relative to the length of the tooth which supports it and is turned to the opposite the rigid tooth 11 located opposite.
  • This depression 14 is for example made by stamping the tooth 10, and further improves the contact with the slot 3 of the bar 2, wherein the tooth is intended to be inserted.
  • the rigid teeth 11 extend substantially in the plane defined by the interconnection comb 1, being of concave cross section whose concavity is turned towards the elastic tooth 10 located opposite. This concave shape extends almost the entire length of the tooth and allows a good rigidity of the tooth 11.
  • the elastic teeth 10 and the rigid teeth 11 furthermore have each of the free ends 15, 16 located at the ends of these teeth and which converge towards the opposite tooth. These folded ends 15 and 16 facilitate the insertion of the teeth in the slots 3 of the connecting bars 2.
  • the first comb 5 and the second comb 6 are preferably integral with each other at their respective connecting bars 8.
  • the entire interconnection device 1 is made flat by cutting, stamping and folding. After cutting and stamping, the two combs 5 and 6 are folded one over the other by folding at their connecting bars 8.
  • the interconnection device 1 provides a great improvement to the existing technique by providing an interconnection comb whose structure is balanced since the forces exerted by each elastic tooth in a pair are in opposite directions to the efforts of the tooth elastic of the neighboring pair.
  • the entire interconnection device is made of a cuprous alloy, all the teeth are conductive and therefore there is no rise in temperature of one of the teeth relative to the others.
  • the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of the two combs previously described by way of example, it encompasses all variants.
  • the number of constituent teeth could be only two, without departing from the scope of the present invention, as claimed.
