Benefits of technology

[0007]The aim of the present invention is to provide a terminal block assembly for the connection and control of sealed compressors, particularly for home refrigerators, in which the covering element of the terminal block assembly has a simplified engagement with respect to the known type of solution.
[0008]Within this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a terminal block assembly for the connection and control of sealed compressors in which the components of the terminal block assembly are to a large extent integrated in a single component in order to facilitate assembly and reduce costs.
[0010]Within this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a terminal block assembly for the connection and control of sealed compressors that is highly reliable, relatively simple to provide and at competitive costs.

Problems solved by technology

However, the solution cited above, though being functional from an operating standpoint, suffers the drawback that the covering element of the terminal block assembly, by having to be slid tangentially, entails, on the side of the heater, a correct positioning of the covering lens with respect to the mating support, so that the upper and lower guides are perfectly aligned between the support and the covering element, so as to produce the sliding of the covering element on the support.
This operation is not always easy to perform in tight spaces such as those usually available in refrigerators.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]With reference to the figures, the terminal block assembly, generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a bracket element 2, which is adapted to be connected to the body 3 of the compressor and is provided with a substantially circular opening 4, which allows to accommodate the fusite of the compressor, designated by the reference numeral 5.

[0019]The bracket element 2 is rigidly fixed to the body 3 of the compressor.

[0020]The bracket element 2 supports a body 6, which in turn supports terminals 7 for a motor protector 8 and a starter 21.

[0021]A cable clamp 9 is further provided for coupling to the bracket element 2.

[0022]The peculiarity of the invention resides in that a covering element 10 is provided, which is substantially L-shaped and is complementary to the L-shape of the bracket element 2, so as to provide, with an upper portion 11 thereof, a box-like enclosure, which encloses the motor protector, the starter, the terminal block and the fusite.

Abstract

A terminal block assembly for the connection and control of sealed compressors, particularly for home refrigerators and the like, comprising a bracket element adapted to be connected to the body of a compressor, a supporting body which is adapted to be connected to the bracket element and to the fusite of the compressor and supports a protector and a starter for the compressor, and a covering element adapted to mate with the bracket element, for covering the supporting body of the compressor, the covering element being provided with elastically flexible means, which allow mating with a surface of the bracket element, the covering element being adapted to abut at one end against the bracket element, in order to be turned, for closure, on the bracket element, by interference between the elastically flexible means of the covering element and a tooth of the bracket element.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a terminal block assembly for the connection and control of hermetic compressors particularly for home refrigerators. More particularly, the invention relates to a terminal block assembly that can be connected to the external enclosure of a sealed compressor for controlling and connecting it.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]As is known, sealed compressors, particularly for refrigerators and the like, are provided with a terminal block assembly, which supports a starter and a protector and allows to connect the electric mains and at the same time to control the operation of the compressor, with a cable clamp to ensure the safety of the connections by fixing the cables appropriately, and with a cover for protecting said connections against dirt and water.[0003]These elements are usually accommodated within a box-like enclosure, which protects them against impacts or other factors and is fixed externally with respect to the compressor.[0004]Known ...
