DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
TOMA DE CORRIENTE DE CONEXIÓN ORIENTADA SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICA OUTLET OF DIRECTED CONNECTION TECHNICAL SECTOR
La invención se encuadra en el sector de las tecnologías orientadas a los dispositivos para las conexiones eléctricas, en concreto, a los componentes eléctricos tales como clavijas, tomas de corriente y dispositivos de acoplamiento. The invention falls within the field of technologies oriented to devices for electrical connections, specifically, to electrical components such as plugs, sockets and coupling devices.
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA Y PROBLEMAS A SOLUCIONAR STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE AND PROBLEMS TO SOLVE
Con respecto al estado del arte se conocen numerosos dispositivos para la realización de las conexiones entre la clavija de un artefacto eléctrico (como por ejemplo una lámpara, un ventilador, una cocina eléctrica, un televisor, una amoladora, un taladro) y el correspondiente punto de conexión a la línea eléctrica o toma de corriente. With respect to the state of the art, numerous devices are known for making the connections between the plug of an electrical appliance (such as a lamp, a fan, an electric stove, a television, a grinder, a drill) and the corresponding point connection to the electrical line or outlet.
Al respecto, en cuanto a los tipos de enchufes presentes en el mundo, (tanto machos como hembras), estos se han estandarizado para favorecer la seguridad, garantía y capacidad de sustitución de los dispositivos. De hecho, en Europa, existen principalmente dos tipos de enchufes: el Tipo C, de patilla fina y sin toma de tierra, y el Tipo F, también denominado“schuko” con dos patillas que pueden ser finas (3,2 mm de diámetro) o gruesas (4,8 mm de diámetro) y toma de tierra, lateral por contacto, y superior por recepción. In this regard, in terms of the types of plugs present in the world, (both male and female), these have been standardized to favor the safety, guarantee and ability to replace devices. In fact, in Europe, there are mainly two types of plugs: the Type C, with a fine pin and without grounding, and the Type F, also called “schuko” with two pins that can be thin (3.2 mm diameter ) or thick (4.8 mm diameter) and grounding, lateral by contact, and superior by reception.
También existen diferencias de normalización en el tamaño de las cajas empotrables y sus dispositivos, por ejemplo, la cajilla tradicional rectangular, originaria de Estados Unidos, ha sido sustituida por un estándar europeo cuadrado. There are also standard differences in the size of the flush-mounted boxes and their devices, for example, the traditional rectangular box, originating in the United States, has been replaced by a square European standard.
Algunos enchufes presentan en el cuerpo de la clavija unas depresiones laterales en las que se insertan unas guías que sobresalen en la cara interna lateral de la toma de corriente y que tienen la misma forma que las depresiones de la clavija para lograr un buen encastre y fijación. Con independencia de esto, todo enchufe presenta un gran inconveniente funcional que cualquier usuario ha experimentado alguna vez: la dificultad en la conexión de la clavija y la toma de corriente. Es habitual tener que intentar varias veces enchufar la clavija hasta acertar en ubicar e introducir los conectores macho de la clavija en los orificios de los conectores hembra de la toma de corriente. Some plugs have lateral depressions in the body of the plug in which guides are inserted which protrude into the lateral internal face of the socket and which have the same shape as the recesses of the plug to achieve a good fit and fixation . Regardless of this, every plug presents a great functional drawback that any user has ever experienced: the difficulty in connecting the plug and the socket. It is usual to have to try several times to plug the plug until you succeed in locating and inserting the male connectors of the plug into the holes of the female connectors of the socket.
Esta dificultad se puede ver acrecentada por diferentes causas como falta de luz en el área en el que se encuentra la toma de corriente o que se halle detrás de un mueble o en alguna posición que nos dificulta la visión. Muy especialmente, este problema lo tienen todas las personas con visión disminuida o no videntes. This difficulty can be increased by different causes such as lack of light in the area where the power outlet is located or that is behind a piece of furniture or in a position that hinders vision. Most especially, this problem is had by all people with low vision or blind.
Todo esto genera el riesgo de que, al concentrarse en los intentos de conexión, el usuario palpe involuntariamente el conector justo en el momento en que se logre la conexión, pudiendo recibir una descarga eléctrica. Para reducir este riesgo, en algunos enchufes, la zona de agarre está bien aislada de los conectores metálicos, pero esto no elimina ni el riesgo, ni la pérdida de tiempo y esfuerzo en los intentos de conexión mencionados. All this generates the risk that, when concentrating on the connection attempts, the user involuntarily palpates the connector just at the moment in which the connection is achieved, being able to receive an electric shock. To reduce this risk, in some plugs, the grip area is well insulated from the metal connectors, but this does not eliminate the risk, nor the waste of time and effort in the mentioned connection attempts.
Es decir, el proceso de conexión de clavija y toma de corriente, básicamente, presenta las siguientes dificultades: In other words, the plug and socket connection process basically presents the following difficulties:
• Factores externos al propio usuario, en ocasiones, las tomas de corrientes se sitúan en zonas de difícil acceso o escasa visibilidad. • Factors external to the user, sometimes, the power outlets are located in areas of difficult access or poor visibility.
• Si el usuario que habitualmente realiza la conexión, presenta falta de motricidad o pérdida de visión, el proceso de conexión presenta una dificultad adicional. • If the user who habitually makes the connection has a lack of motor skills or vision loss, the connection process presents an additional difficulty.
De hecho, con un enchufe convencional la probabilidad de realizar una conexión con éxito a la primera es muy baja, por lo que el usuario se ve obligado a orientar previamente la clavija para hacer coincidir sus varillas con los orificios de la toma de corriente, o bien, a girar y empujar la clavija contra el cuerpo de la toma de corriente buscando la coincidencia de las varillas en los orificios. In fact, with a conventional plug the probability of making a successful connection to the first is very low, so the user is forced to pre-orient the plug to match its rods with the holes in the socket, or Well, to turn and push the plug against the body of the socket looking for the coincidence of the rods in the holes.
Sin embargo, en relación a la problemática descrita, la toma de corriente de conexión orientada de la presente invención, incorpora una superficie particular en el fondo de su cuerpo que facilita al usuario la conexión de la clavija con la toma de corriente, eliminando la necesidad previa de orientar las varillas de la clavija con los orificios de la toma de corriente y aportando las siguientes ventajas: However, in relation to the described problem, the oriented connection socket of the present invention incorporates a particular surface at the bottom of its body that makes it easier for the user to connect the plug to the socket, eliminating the previous need to orient the rods of the plug with the holes of the socket and providing the following advantages:
• Simplifica la actuación del usuario, ya que, una vez se produce el contacto de los conectores de la clavija con el fondo de la toma de corriente, el usuario solo tiene que “empujar” la clavija contra la toma de corriente en vez de tener que“empujar y girar” simultáneamente a clavija buscando la coincidencia de las varillas en los orificios. La clavija girará sola al empujarla gracias a la configuración del fondo de la toma de corriente. • Simplifies user action, since once the plug connectors contact the bottom of the outlet, the user only has to “push” the plug against the outlet instead of having that "push and turn" simultaneously to pin looking for the coincidence of the rods in the holes. The plug will rotate by itself when pushed thanks to the configuration of the bottom of the socket.
• Facilita la conexión en las tomas de corrientes de difícil acceso, con falta o ausencia de iluminación y, en general, cuando el entorno del proceso de conexión es complicado. • It facilitates the connection in the outlets of difficult access, with lack or absence of lighting and, in general, when the environment of the connection process is complicated.
• Así mismo, facilita la conexión en las tomas de corrientes para usuarios con falta de capacidad motriz o psicomotriz, con facultades visuales mermadas o invidentes y, en general, cuando las condiciones intrínsecas del usuario dificultan el proceso de conexión. • Likewise, it facilitates the connection in power outlets for users with a lack of motor or psychomotor capacity, with impaired or blind visual faculties and, in general, when the user's intrinsic conditions make the connection process difficult.
• La fabricación e instalación de la toma de corriente de conexión orientada es simple y barata. • The manufacturing and installation of the oriented connection socket is simple and cheap.
• Se adapta y es compatible con todos los mecanismos eléctricos de uso generalizado. No es necesario hacer ningún cambio en las clavijas de los aparatos eléctricos. Incluso es compatible con tomas de corriente convencionales que ya se encuentren instaladas. • It adapts and is compatible with all the electrical mechanisms of general use. It is not necessary to make any changes to the plugs of electrical appliances. It is even compatible with conventional sockets that are already installed.
Continuando con el estado del arte, el modelo de utilidad CN201766233U divulga una toma de corriente con una forma con la que se pretende resolver el problema de enchufar cuando las tomas de corriente tienen cierta profundidad. La toma divulgada tiene una forma tal que los orificios de conexión se encuentran en un canal anular que sirve de guía para las patillas de la clavija. El canal anular está en la intersección de una zona troncocónica y el fondo de la toma, así que si las patillas tocan la superficie troncocónica se deslizan por ella hasta el canal anular. Aun así, sigue siendo necesario girar la clavija macho hasta encontrar dichos orificios. Por el contrario, la toma de corriente de la presente invención muestra unas superficies cóncavas, que generan en el fondo "valles" hacia los orificios en lugar de la forma troncocónica del modelo citado. Esta forma es ventajosa ya que, mientras que en el modelo citado únicamente se posicionan las patillas de la clavija sobre el canal de los orificios, en la presente invención sin necesidad de orientar previamente las varillas de la clavija hacia los orificios, con solo un movimiento manual de empuje perpendicular al plano de los orificios se genera una rotación automática por el relieve de superficies cóncavas dispuestas en el fondo de la toma de corriente, de modo que dicho movimiento lleva las patillas de la clavija a la posición correcta dentro de los 360e de posibilidades, sin tener que hacer el movimiento de rotación "buscando los orificios". Continuing with the state of the art, the CN201766233U utility model discloses an outlet with a shape with which it is intended to solve the problem of plugging in when the outlets have a certain depth. The disclosed socket is shaped such that the connection holes are in an annular channel serving as a guide for the pin lugs. The annular channel is at the intersection of a frustoconical zone and the bottom of the socket, so if the pins touch the frustoconical surface they slide through it to the annular canal. Even so, it is still necessary to turn the male plug until finding these holes. On the contrary, the socket of the present invention shows concave surfaces, which generate "valleys" towards the holes at the bottom instead of the frustoconical shape of the mentioned model. This shape is advantageous since, while in the aforementioned model only the pins of the pin are positioned on the channel of the holes, in the present invention without the need to previously orient the pins of the pin towards the holes, with only one movement manual thrust perpendicular to the plane of the holes generates an automatic rotation by the relief of concave surfaces arranged at the bottom of the socket, so that this movement brings the pins of the plug to the correct position within 360 e of possibilities, without having to make the rotation movement "looking for the holes".
Además, el modelo de utilidad citado no divulga una toma de corriente con una geometría tal que permite disponer de una pieza extraíble, encastrable e intercambiable en cualquier toma de corriente convencional, como es el caso de la presente invención. Esto aporta ventajas evidentes y esenciales, como, por ejemplo, que, si cambios en el mobiliario de una estancia hacen que un enchufe quede oculto, se pueda llevar la pieza encastrable a otro enchufe. In addition, the aforementioned utility model does not disclose an outlet with a geometry such that it makes it possible to have a removable, recessed and interchangeable part in any conventional outlet, as is the case with the present invention. This provides obvious and essential advantages, such as, for example, that if changes in the furniture of a room make a socket hidden, the recessed piece can be moved to another socket.
Además, otra ventaja esencial de la toma de corriente de la presente invención frente al modelo de utilidad citado es la facilidad de instalación. En el caso del modelo de utilidad citado, para instalarlo hay que cambiar el mecanismo de la toma de corriente completo y se necesitan conocimientos técnicos de electricidad y herramientas específicas. Por el contrario, con la pieza encastrable y extraíble, según la presente invención, no es necesario cambiar la toma de corriente convencional que la mayoría de los edificios ya tienen instaladas, puesto que el montaje consiste simplemente en quitar un adhesivo y pegar la pieza encastrable sobre el fondo plano de una toma de corriente convencional existente. Esto tiene como consecuencia, además, un coste menor y mejor funcionalidad. Furthermore, another essential advantage of the socket of the present invention compared to the mentioned utility model is the ease of installation. In the case of the aforementioned utility model, to install it you have to change the mechanism of the complete socket and you need technical knowledge of electricity and specific tools. On the contrary, with the recessed and removable part, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to change the conventional socket that most buildings already have installed, since the assembly consists simply of removing an adhesive and gluing the recessed part. on the flat bottom of an existing conventional electrical outlet. This also results in lower cost and better functionality.
La geometría de la pieza extraíble y, por tanto, de la toma de corriente de la presente invención, sin ranura circular y con superficies cóncavas hacia los orificios del conector hembra, resuelve mejor funcionalmente el problema de hacer coincidir las dos patillas en los dos orificios. Por último, se puede deducir por las figuras que el modelo de utilidad citado está pensado para una toma de corriente con cable, una regleta, mientras que, en caso de la presente invención, la toma de corriente es fácilmente aplicable tanto a regletas como a tomas de corriente encastradas en pared. The geometry of the removable part and, therefore, of the socket of the present invention, without a circular groove and with concave surfaces towards the holes of the female connector, better functionally solves the problem of matching the two pins in the two holes . Finally, it can be deduced from the figures that the aforementioned utility model is intended for a wired socket, a power strip, while, in the case of the present invention, the socket is easily applicable to both power strips and wall-mounted socket outlets.
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
El objeto de la presente invención consiste en una toma de corriente de conexión orientada que resuelve de forma satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta. The object of the present invention consists of a connection oriented electrical outlet that satisfactorily solves the aforementioned problem.
La expresión“toma de corriente” en esta memoria se refiere a la base de un enchufe donde se encuentran los conectores hembra. The term "outlet" in this specification refers to the base of a plug where the female connectors are located.
La presente invención se refiere a una toma de corriente de conexión orientada compuesta por los siguientes elementos (ver figuras): una tapa que la rodea y un cuerpo principal central en cuyo fondo se encuentran los orificios de los conectores hembra para la conexión de conectores macho (6) de la clavija, y caracterizada porque permite alojar una pieza encastrable, de forma amovible en su cuerpo principal, convirtiéndose la pieza encastrable en el fondo de la toma de corriente. The present invention refers to an oriented connection socket made up of the following elements (see figures): a cover that surrounds it and a central main body in whose bottom are the holes of the female connectors for the connection of male connectors (6) of the plug, and characterized in that it allows a recessed part to be accommodated, removably in its main body, the recessed part becoming at the bottom of the socket.
La pieza encastrable (ver Figura 6) contiene los orificios (coincidentes con los del cuerpo principal) y presenta una superficie que tiene un relieve con simetría central creado por una superficie cóncava circular, canal o valle circular en“V” cuyo fondo (circulo de la Figura 3) pasa por los orificios de conexión, y tal que que la profundidad de dicho valle es mínima en los puntos del círculo más alejados de los orificios y máxima en los orificios, es decir la profundidad crece hacia cada orificio. The built-in piece (see Figure 6) contains the holes (coinciding with those of the main body) and presents a surface that has a relief with central symmetry created by a circular concave surface, channel or circular "V" valley whose bottom (circle of Figure 3) passes through the connection holes, and such that the depth of said valley is minimum in the points of the circle furthest from the holes and maximum in the holes, that is, the depth increases towards each hole.
En las paredes laterales internas del cuerpo principal de la toma de corriente se ubican depresiones que coincidirán con las secciones sobresalientes que presenta la clavija en su cara lateral exterior de forma tal que encajan en las mismas guiando y fijando a la clavija en su último tramo de recorrido de conexión. La longitud de dichas depresiones es tal que permite que primero se logre posicionar los extremos de los conectores macho en los orificios de las conexiones hembra. Depressions are located on the internal side walls of the main body of the outlet, which will coincide with the protruding sections of the plug on its outer side, so that they fit into them, guiding and fixing the plug in its last section of connection path. The length of said depressions is such that it allows the ends of the male connectors to be positioned first in the holes of the female connections.
Respecto a la fijación de la pieza encastrable para hacerla amovible en el cuerpo principal de la toma de corriente, la pieza encastrable presenta dos zonas salientes, enfrentadas entre sí, que encajan en las depresiones laterales del cuerpo principal de la toma de corriente, de modo similar a como encaja en dichas depresiones la clavija. Además, la pieza encastrable puede fijarse respecto al cuerpo principal con un sistema que permita su posterior desmontaje, ya sea mediante tornillería o con un adhesivo en las superficies de contacto del cuerpo de la toma de corriente y la pieza, haciéndola extraíble e intercambiable. Regarding the fixing of the built-in piece to make it removable in the main body of the socket, the built-in piece has two projecting areas, facing each other, which fit into the side depressions of the main body of the socket, in a similar way to how the plug fits in said depressions. In addition, the built-in part can be fixed with respect to the main body with a system that allows its later dismantling, either by means of screws or with an adhesive on the contact surfaces of the body of the socket and the part, making it removable and interchangeable.
Las ventajas de la presente invención son múltiples, ya que siendo una pieza extraíble e intercambiable, se puede retirar y utilizar en varias tomas de corriente, facilitando el proceso de conexión en las mismas, al objeto de que, sin necesidad de orientar previamente las varillas de la clavija hacia los orificios, con solo un movimiento manual de empuje de la clavija contra el fondo del cuerpo principal de la toma de corriente, se genere una rotación de la clavija por la acción de la presión del extremo de sus varillas sobre el particular relieve del fondo, la superficie cóncava circular, cuya función es precisamente, originar un vector de fuerza orientado hacia los orificios de conexión, provocando que dichos extremos se deslicen fácil y directamente hacia los mismos y llevando a las varillas a la posición correcta dentro de los 360e de posibilidades de contacto iniciales, y todo, sin tener que hacer movimientos de rotación o giros“buscando los orificios”. The advantages of the present invention are multiple, since being a removable and interchangeable piece, it can be removed and used in several outlets, facilitating the connection process in them, so that, without the need to previously orient the rods of the plug towards the holes, with only a manual movement of the push of the plug against the bottom of the main body of the socket, a rotation of the plug is generated by the action of the pressure of the end of its rods on the particular relief of the bottom, the circular concave surface, whose function is precisely, to originate a force vector oriented towards the connection holes, causing said ends to slide easily and directly towards them and taking the rods to the correct position within the 360 e of initial contact possibilities, and everything, without having to make rotational movements or turns "looking for the holes".
