OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo de seguridad, especialmente concebido para bases de enchufe, cuya finalidad es evitar que niños de corta edad puedan acceder a los terminales con tensión de las citadas bases de enchufe, y consecuentemente para evitar los accidentes que una manipulación de éste tipo puede traer consigo.The present invention relates to a safety device, especially designed for plug bases, the purpose of which is to prevent young children from accessing the voltage terminals of said plug bases, and consequently to avoid accidents that a manipulation of this type you can bring with you.
El objeto de la invención es establecer una barrera para los orificios de acceso a los terminales de la base de enchufe, que resulte estructuralmente simple y funcionalmente fiable ofreciendo unas óptimas garantías de seguridad.The object of the invention is to establish a barrier for the access holes to the terminals of the plug base, which is structurally simple and functionally reliable, offering optimum safety guarantees.
La invención se sitúa pues en el ámbito de la fabricación de mecanismos para instalaciones eléctricas.The invention thus falls within the scope of the manufacture of mechanisms for electrical installations.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Normalmente la energía eléctrica para consumo doméstico se distribuye a una tensión de 220 voltios, suficientemente alta como para poder originar accidentes graves ante un eventual contacto corporal con cualquier elemento con tensión.Normally the electrical energy for domestic consumption is distributed at a voltage of 220 volts, high enough to cause serious accidents in the event of possible body contact with any element with voltage.
Determinados tipos de mecanismos, como sucede con
interruptores, conmutadores y otros, presentan sus zonas con tensión permanentemente ocultas, de manera que no suponen riesgo alguno para los usuarios.Certain types of mechanisms, as with switches, switches and others, present their areas with permanently hidden voltage, so that they do not pose any risk to users.
No sucede lo mismo con las bases de enchufe cuyos terminales deben ser accesibles para las patillas de la complementaria clavija de enchufe, de manera que en la carcasa del mecanismo se establecen orificios de acceso a dichos terminales para paso de las mencionadas patillas.The same does not happen with the plug bases whose terminals must be accessible to the pins of the complementary plug socket, so that access holes to said terminals are established in the mechanism housing to pass the said pins.
Si bien la normativa legal al efecto establece que entre la superficie frontal de la carcasa del mecanismo y los terminales o bornes de conexión debe existir una distancia predeterminada que, conjuntamente con el diámetro de dichos orificios, hace teóricamente imposible un contacto accidental con los mencionados terminales, en la práctica es relativamente frecuente que los niños, especialmente los de corta edad, introduzcan objetos filiformes a través de los citados orificios, de manera que cuando dichos objetos son metálicos, como sucede con una horquilla, un trozo de alambre, etc, pueden recibir una fuerte descarga.Although the legal regulations for this purpose establish that there must be a predetermined distance between the front surface of the mechanism housing and the terminals or connection terminals that, together with the diameter of said holes, accidentally makes contact with said terminals theoretically impossible In practice, it is relatively common for children, especially those of young age, to introduce filiform objects through the mentioned holes, so that when said objects are metallic, such as with a hairpin, a piece of wire, etc., they can Receive a strong download.
Tratando de obviar este problema es conocida la utilización de clavijas de enchufe de naturaleza plástica, que se acoplan a la base de enchufe de análoga manera a como se acopla una clavija de enchufe convencional, obturando los citados orificios, pero sin embargo esta solución resulta muy incómoda para los usuarios cuando tienen que utilizar la base del enchufe, ya que deben retirar la clavija de plástico y volver a implantarla terminado el periodo de utilización de la base de enchufe, con el riesgo de olvido en esta segunda maniobra, de pérdida de la clavija plástica, etc.Trying to avoid this problem, it is known to use plug plugs of a plastic nature, which are attached to the plug socket in the same way as a conventional plug plug, plugging said holes, but nevertheless this solution is very uncomfortable for users when they have to use the plug base, since they must remove the plastic plug and re-implant it after the period of use of the plug base, with the risk of forgetting in this second maneuver, of loss of the plastic plug, etc.
Son conocidas también bases de enchufe que incorpora una tapa
basculante, tendente permanentemente a la situación de cierre por efecto de un resorte, pero esta solución, además de ser estracturalmente compleja y consecuentemente cara resuelve el problema de forma tan sólo parcial puesto que dicha tapa resulta fácilmente accionable por los niños que, tras descubrir los orificios que inicialmente ocultaba, pueden acceder a los mismos manteniéndose el problema anteriormente expuesto.Socket bases are also known which incorporates a cover tilting, permanently tending to the closing situation due to the effect of a spring, but this solution, in addition to being estracturally complex and consequently expensive, solves the problem only partially since said lid is easily operable by children who, after discovering the holes that were initially concealed, can be accessed by maintaining the problem described above.
Finalmente, existen también bases de enchufe cuyas bomas de conexión se mantienen normalmente aisladas de la línea, es decir sin tensión, produciéndose la conexión de dichas bomas por la acción mecánica de introducir en la base de enchufe la complementaria clavija, pero estas bases de enchufe resultan aún mucho más complejas desde el punto de vista estructural y con un costo muy elevado.Finally, there are also plug bases whose connection jacks are normally kept isolated from the line, that is to say without voltage, producing the connection of said bums by the mechanical action of inserting the complementary plug into the plug base, but these plug bases they are even more complex from the structural point of view and at a very high cost.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El dispositivo protector para enchufes que la invención propone resuelve de forma definitiva la problemática anteriormente expuesta, por cuanto que establece una situación de cierre u ocultación para la base de enchufe propiamente dicha que hace prácticamente imposible que los niños puedan localizar accidentalmente como se accede a los orificios de dicha base.The protective device for plugs that the invention proposes definitively solves the problem described above, since it establishes a situation of closure or concealment for the plug base itself that makes it practically impossible for children to accidentally locate how to access them. holes of said base.
Para ello y de forma más concreta el dispositivo de la invención consiste en una tapa acoplable por corredera a los bordes laterales de la base de enchufe, de manera que es desplazable preferentemente en sentido vertical y ascendente, estando además dicha tapa provista de una pareja de pulsadores laterales, integrados en la propia tapa y desplazables mediante deformación elástica de aletas que los soportan y los relacionan con el resto
del cuerpo de la tapa, quedando dichos pulsadores, en situación de cierre del dispositivo, enfrentados a tetones de bloqueo emergentes de los bordes laterales de la base del enchufe, que a su vez son también retráctiles por análogos medios, de manera que cuando se produce el desplazamiento descendente de la tapa, hacia la situación límite de cierre, los tetones de la base del enchufe se enclavan en respectivos escalones internos de la tapa, resultando imposible la apertura de la misma a no ser que se actúe simultáneamente sobre ambos pulsadores, maniobra que resulta prácticamente imposible de localizar y realizar por parte de un niño, mientras que cuando un adulto presiona dichos pulsadores se produce la retracción de los tetones de la base de enchufe, y la tapa puede desplazarse ascendentemente hasta la situación límite de apertura.For this, and more specifically, the device of the invention consists of a cover that can be coupled by sliding to the side edges of the plug base, so that it is preferably movable vertically and upwards, said cover being also provided with a pair of lateral push-buttons, integrated in the lid itself and movable by elastic deformation of fins that support them and relate them to the rest of the body of the lid, said push-buttons remaining, in the situation of closing of the device, facing emerging blocking pins of the lateral edges of the base of the plug, which in turn are also retractable by similar means, so that when it occurs the downward movement of the cover, towards the closing limit situation, the lugs of the base of the plug are interlocked in respective internal steps of the cover, making it impossible to open it unless it is operated simultaneously on both pushbuttons, maneuver which is practically impossible to locate and perform on the part of a child, while when an adult presses said pushbuttons the retraction of the plugs of the plug base occurs, and the lid can move upwards to the opening limit situation.
En una variante de realización aún más simple de la invención, la tapa acoplada por corredera a la base se materializa en una especie de cazoleta abierta tanto inferior como posteriormente, la cual incorpora en correspondencia con su imaginaria cara posterior una pareja de vastagos verticales, emergentes de su pared superior y en disposición acusadamente lateral, los cuales se deslizan telescópicamente en guías operativamente practicadas en la base de enchufe, lógicamente rematadas en ventanas o aberturas superiores y situadas por fuera del nivel de empotramiento de dicha base para permitir el desplazamiento de la tapa. En estas guías se establecen pequeñas estrangulaciones que limitan el recorrido de los complementarios vastagos, evitando el total desacoplamiento de la tapa de protección y estabilizando posicionalmente ésta última en situación de cierre, de manera que sea necesario un esfuerzo combinado de presión frontal y ascendente sobre la tapa, para conseguir el desplazamiento ascendente de la misma.In an even simpler variant of the invention, the cover coupled by sliding to the base is embodied in a kind of open bowl both lower and later, which incorporates in correspondence with its imaginary rear face a pair of vertical, emerging stems of its upper wall and in a markedly lateral arrangement, which slide telescopically into guides operatively practiced in the socket base, logically topped in windows or upper openings and located outside the recess level of said base to allow the lid to move . In these guides, small strangulations are established that limit the path of the complementary rods, avoiding the total decoupling of the protective cover and positionally stabilizing the latter in a closed situation, so that a combined effort of frontal and upward pressure on the lid, to achieve the upward displacement of it.
Se consigue en cualquier caso, con una estructuración
sumamente simple y consecuentemente económica, un óptimo grado de protección para el dispositivo, que permite asegurar una práctica imposibilidad de que los niños puedan acceder a los orificios de la base de enchufe.It is achieved in any case, with a structuring extremely simple and consequently economical, an optimal degree of protection for the device, which ensures a practical impossibility for children to access the holes in the plug base.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A la vista de las figuras referidas, en especial de las figuras 1 a 4, puede observarse como el dispositivo de seguridad que la invención propone es aplicable a bases de enchufe (1) indistintamente de empotrar o de superficie, en las que se define un escudo frontal que se corresponde con la propia referencia (1), con un rehundido central (2) en el que se sitúan los orificios (3) de acceso a los terminales de conexión de la base de enchufe, a los que deben acceder, a través de dichos orificios (3), las patillas de la complementaria clavija de enchufe.In view of the aforementioned figures, in particular of figures 1 to 4, it can be seen how the safety device proposed by the invention is applicable to plug bases (1) regardless of recessed or surface, in which a front shield that corresponds to the reference itself (1), with a central recess (2) in which the access holes (3) are located to the connection terminals of the plug base, which must be accessed, a through said holes (3), the pins of the complementary plug.
Pues bien, de acuerdo ya con la invención, la base de enchufe (1) incorpora en correspondencia con sus bordes laterales, sendos nervios longitudinales (4) para acoplamiento por corredera de una tapa (5), de perfil acanalado, concretamente en "U", cuyas ramas laterales incorporan en su cara interna acanaladuras longitudinales (6) complementarios de los citados nervios (4), lo que permite que la tapa (5) sea desplazable verticalmente por corredera con respecto a la base de enchufe (1), cubriéndola totalmente, tal como se observa en la figura I5 o dejando libre acceso a los orificios (3) de los terminales eléctricos, como a su vez muestra la figura 2.
Como complemento de la estructura descrita en los bordes laterales (7) de la tapa (5), por ejemplo cerca de su extremidad inferior, se establecen sendos pulsadores (8), susceptibles de desplazarse elásticamente hacia el interior de la tapa, por ejemplo mediante la existencia en dichos bordes (7) de sendas parejas de cortes determinantes de respectivas aletas flexibles (9), una para cada pulsador (8) quedando dichos pulsadores (8) operativamente enfrentados a respectivos tetones retráctiles (10) establecidos en los bordes laterales del escudo frontal de la base de enchufe (1), a su vez también retráctiles, mediante aletas similares, y consecuentemente monopieza con la propia base de enchufe (1), de manera que en la situación de cierre para la tapa (5) mostrada en las figuras 1 y 4 los tetones (10) inmovilizan la tapa (5) en tal situación, al actuar sobre respectivos escalones (11) de la propia tapa, mientras que al actuar manual y simultáneamente sobre los dos pulsadores (8) de la tapa (5), éstos obligan a retraerse a los tetones (10) de la base de enchufe, que quedan desfasados con respecto a los escalones (11), situación en la que es factible el desplazamiento ascendente de la tapa (5), por arrastre manual de la misma.Well, according to the invention, the plug base (1) incorporates, in correspondence with its lateral edges, two longitudinal ribs (4) for sliding coupling of a cover (5), with a ribbed profile, specifically in "U"", whose lateral branches incorporate in its internal face longitudinal grooves (6) complementary to said ribs (4), which allows the cover (5) to be vertically movable by sliding with respect to the plug base (1), covering it totally, as seen in figure I 5 or leaving free access to the holes (3) of the electrical terminals, as in turn shown in figure 2. As a complement to the structure described in the lateral edges (7) of the lid (5), for example near its lower extremity, two pushbuttons (8) are established, capable of moving elastically towards the inside of the lid, for example by the existence in said edges (7) of two pairs of determining cuts of respective flexible fins (9), one for each pushbutton (8) being said pushbuttons (8) operatively facing respective retractable lugs (10) established on the lateral edges of the front shield of the plug base (1), in turn also retractable, by means of similar fins, and consequently monopieza with the own plug base (1), so that in the closing situation for the cover (5) shown in Figures 1 and 4 the lugs (10) immobilize the lid (5) in such a situation, acting on respective steps (11) of the lid itself, while acting manually and simultaneously on the two pushbuttons (8) of at the cover (5), these force the lugs (10) of the plug base to retract, which are offset with respect to the steps (11), a situation in which the upward displacement of the cover (5) is feasible, by manual drag of it.
Durante la maniobra contraria, es decir durante el descenso de la tapa (5) no es preciso actuar sobre los pulsadores (8) por cuanto que los tetones de enclavamiento (10) presentan un plano inclinado (12) que fuerza a los pulsadores (8) a desplazarse hacia fuera, hasta que los escalones (11) han sobrepasado dichos tetones (10).During the opposite maneuver, that is, during the lowering of the cover (5) it is not necessary to act on the pushbuttons (8) because the locking lugs (10) have an inclined plane (12) that forces the pushbuttons (8) ) to move outward until the steps (11) have exceeded said lugs (10).
En la variante de realización mostrada en las figuras 5 y 6 la estructura descrita se ve notablemente simplificada, de manera que la base de enchufe (V) incorpora en las zonas marginales de su cara posterior (13) sendas acanaladuras (14) que se rematan por su extremidad posterior en sendas ventanas (15), de manera que dichas acanaladuras (14) sirven de guías para respectivos vastagos (16) que emergen con carácter monopieza
de la tapa (5'), la cual configura una cazoleta básicamente prismático rectangular, abierta inferior y posteriormente, dimensionalmente adecuada para adaptarse al sector frontal de la base de enchufe (T)5 emergiendo los citados vastagos (16) de la zona marginal posterior de la pared superior (17) de dicha tapa (5'), en disposición vertical, concretamente con un distanciamiento mutuo coincidente con el distanciamiento entre las acanaladuras (14), y con una sección adecuada a la de éstas últimas.In the variant embodiment shown in Figures 5 and 6 the structure described is remarkably simplified, so that the plug base (V) incorporates grooves (14) that are finished in the marginal areas of its rear face (13). by its posterior end in two windows (15), so that said grooves (14) serve as guides for respective stems (16) that emerge as a single piece of the lid (5 '), which configures a basically rectangular prismatic bowl, open lower and subsequently, dimensionally suitable to adapt to the front sector of the plug base (T) 5 emerging the aforementioned stems (16) from the posterior marginal zone of the upper wall (17) of said cover (5 '), in vertical arrangement, specifically with a mutual spacing coinciding with the spacing between the grooves (14), and with a section appropriate to that of the latter.
Finalmente y como complemento de la estructura descrita, las acanaladuras (14) están provistas de pequeñas estrangulaciones (18) cerca de sus extremos superior e inferior, actuando sobre ellas topes (19) emergentes de los vastagos (16), de manera que estrangulaciones (18) y topes (19) impiden el desmontaje total de la tapa (5') con respecto a la base de enchufe (V), y estabilizan a la primera en situación de acoplamiento a la segunda.
Finally, and as a complement to the described structure, the grooves (14) are provided with small strangulations (18) near their upper and lower ends, acting on them emerging stops (19) of the stems (16), so that strangulations ( 18) and stops (19) prevent the total disassembly of the cover (5 ') with respect to the plug base (V), and stabilize the first in a situation of coupling to the second.
