Description

Insulated terminal for forked or eyelet cable lugs
Technical Field
The invention relates to a terminal for securing a plurality of cable lugs, each lug being mounted to an end of a cable, wherein the terminal comprises at least one base body and a plurality of terminal screws screwed into the at least one base body, wherein each terminal screw is designed for sandwiching an eyelet end or fork end of a cable lug of the cable lug between the at least one base body and the terminal screw. Furthermore, the invention relates to a cable connection having a terminal of the above-mentioned type and a plurality of cable lugs mounted to the terminal.
Background
Terminals and cable connections of the above-mentioned type are known in the prior art. The eyelet end or fork end of the cable lug is simply screwed onto the at least one base body. In addition to the problems caused by the different embodiments of the cable lug from different suppliers and the problems caused by tolerances, a disadvantage of such terminals and cable connections is that it is not possible to ensure a predetermined angle of rotation of the cable lug about the axis of rotation of the terminal screw, by means of which angle the cable lug is fixed. Instead, the rotation angle may depend on the torque applied by the terminal screw to the cable lug, the coefficient of friction between the cable lug and the at least one base body and between the cable lug and the terminal screw, and the torque at which the cable lug is held in place by the cable mounted thereon.
In some prior art embodiments, a side stop is provided in at least one of the matrices to define a particular angle of rotation of the cable lug. However, this applies only to a defined pair of terminals and cable lugs. If a different (and unknown) cable lug is mounted to the terminal, the problem of unpredictable angles of the cable lugs again arises.
Furthermore, the specific rotation angle is generally defined by external conditions. In particular, the thick cable is generally directed to the terminal at a specific angle, which is mainly defined by the situation within the device (e.g. switching device) in which the terminal is built. In particular, those thick cables cannot be bent into arbitrary shapes.
Finally, the angle at which the cable lug is ultimately mounted to the terminal is unpredictable. It is therefore also complicated to provide a housing that provides a specific level of protection for the terminal and in particular allows to attach cables of different cross-sections to the terminal.
Disclosure of Invention
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved terminal for a cable lug and an improved cable connection with such a terminal. In particular, the terminal should be provided with a housing which provides a certain level of protection for the terminal, irrespective of the particular type of cable lug, irrespective of tolerances and irrespective of the angle of rotation of the cable lug, and which allows cables of different cross-sections to be attached to the terminal.
The object of the invention is solved by a terminal as disclosed in the opening paragraph, which terminal further comprises:
a housing having a fixed housing part and a plurality of movable housing parts, which are individually movably arranged in the fixed housing part,
wherein the housing encloses at least one base body and the terminal screw, and wherein space is provided for the cable lug within the housing,
wherein the stationary housing part is fixedly arranged relative to the at least one base body, and
-wherein each movable housing part is associated with one of the terminal screws, respectively, and wherein each movable housing part comprises a (central) recess forming a feed-through for a cable mounted to a cable lug associated with the movable housing part.
Furthermore, the object of the invention is solved by a set of terminals as described above, wherein the movable parts of different terminals have grooves of different dimensions.
Finally, the object of the invention is solved by a cable connection as disclosed in the opening paragraph,
wherein one eyelet end or fork end of each cable lug is sandwiched between at least one base body and one terminal screw of the terminal screws, respectively, and
-wherein the cable lug is surrounded by a housing of the terminal, and
-wherein a cable mounted to the cable lug is guided through the recess of the movable housing part.
By the above measures, different types of cable lugs can be easily mounted to the terminal, and tolerances of the cable lugs can be easily compensated for. In particular, it is also possible to compensate for different angles of rotation of the cable lugs about the terminal screw axis without damaging the protection of the housing interior. By the above measures, the housing can advantageously provide protection in accordance with IP3XD or IP4X according to standard ISO 20653, whether or not the cable lug is mounted at zero angle. Furthermore, the terminals can be adapted to different requirements, i.e. to different cable sizes, which only requires changing the movable housing part. The above-mentioned level of protection can be easily achieved for cables of different cross-sections by selecting a movable housing part with a groove adapted to the cross-section of the cable (i.e. by selecting a movable housing part with a groove having a size corresponding to the cross-section of the cable). Typically, if the area of the recess forming the feed-through in the movable housing part is 1.25mm 2 And 70mm 2 Within the range between them, then is advantageous. Furthermore, cables with different cross-sectional areas can be guided through the grooves of the movable housing part, in particular with a cross-sectional area of 1.25mm 2 And 70mm 2 A cable of cross-section in the range between. In general, the grooves in the movable housing parts may have the same size or different sizes. Thus, cables having the same cross-sectional area or different cross-sectional areas may be connected to the terminals. The benefits of the proposed housing become especially apparent if the cable and thus the differently sized cable lugs should be mounted to the terminal, as it is difficult or even impossible to define a zero rotation angle of the cable lugs by means of side stops in at least one base body. Furthermore, the benefits of the proposed housing become especially apparent if the inflexible cable, which cannot be bent into any arbitrary shape, is guided to the terminal at a specific angle, which is mainly defined by the case in the device in which the terminal is built, such as a switching device.
Thus, in summary, the terminal is provided with a housing which provides a certain level of protection for the terminal, irrespective of the specific type of cable lug, irrespective of tolerances and irrespective of the angle of rotation of the cable lug, and which allows cables of different cross-sections to be attached to the terminal in a modular manner, i.e. by selecting a suitable movable housing part.
It should be noted that each terminal screw may have its own base, or some or all of the terminal screws may be threaded into a common base. The first case is applicable to applications where different cables should have independent voltage potentials. The second case is suitable for applications where different cables should be electrically connected.
Other advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the claims and the description and in the drawings.
Advantageously, the stationary housing part comprises a first housing sub-part and a second housing sub-part mounted thereto. In this way, the stationary housing part can be easily mounted to the terminal, for example by housing screws. However, the stationary housing part may also consist of only one part or may comprise more than two housing sub-parts.
Advantageously, the first housing subsection and the second housing subsection may be cup-shaped. They can thus easily enclose at least one base body, terminal screw and cable lug. However, different shapes of the first housing subsection and the second housing subsection are also possible.
Advantageously, the movable housing part is plate-shaped. In this way, the movable housing part can be easily produced by cutting or punching the plate-like material. However, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other shapes may be used for the movable housing section. In this way, the movable housing part can also be produced easily by cutting.
Advantageously, the fixed housing part comprises a first housing sub-part and a second housing sub-part mounted thereon, and the first housing sub-part and the second housing sub-part are cup-shaped and the movable housing part is plate-shaped. In this way, the above advantages can be combined.
Advantageously, the movable housing part is movably arranged in a recess of the fixed housing part. Thus, a certain level of protection can be achieved regardless of the position of the movable housing part.
Advantageously, each movable housing part is movable transversely to the axis of the associated terminal screw, in particular perpendicularly to said axis. More specifically, each of the movable housing parts is movable in one linear direction of a Cartesian coordinate system. In this way, a rotation of the cable lug about the terminal screw axis can be compensated.
It is also advantageous if the movable housing parts are each movable in a plane in two orthogonal directions of a cartesian coordinate system. In this way, the deformation of the cable lug in the vertical direction, i.e. bending about an axis transverse to the axis of the terminal screw, can also be compensated for.
Advantageously, the central axis of the recess forming the feed-through in the movable housing part in one position of the movable housing part intersects the axis of the associated terminal screw. Thus, the cable lug can be easily mounted at a zero rotation angle.
Advantageously, each movable housing part is movable within a range of movement of + -2 mm. Thus, common tolerances and rotation angles of the cable lug can be compensated. In particular, the axis of at least two cable lugs or cables may comprise an angle within the housing within a range of ±10°.
Advantageously, the movable housing part is made of a rigid plastic, in particular a fiber reinforced plastic. Thus, the enclosure can withstand very adverse environmental conditions, such as short circuits, high energy arc flashes, and the like. In particular, the movable housing part is superior to conventional gaskets or rubber materials not only in terms of mechanical strength, but also in terms of temperature, especially when the cable passing through the movable housing part may glow.

Detailed Description
Generally, the same or similar components are denoted by the same/similar names and reference numerals. Features disclosed in the specification apply to components having the same/similar names and reference numerals, respectively. The indications of orientation and relative position (up, down, sideways, etc.) relate to the associated drawing figures, and the indications of orientation and/or relative position have to be modified accordingly in different drawing figures, as the case may be.
Fig. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a terminal 1 in an exploded view. The terminal 1 is designed to secure a plurality of cable lugs 2, each of which is mounted to an end of a cable 3. Note that fig. 1 shows the cable lug 2 without the cable 3 installed, but fig. 2 to 4 also show the cable 3. Note also that it is practically useless to mount the cable lug 2 without the cable 3 to the terminal 1, and typically the cable 3 is connected to the cable lug 2, for example by crimping or welding.
The terminal 1 includes at least one base body 4 and a plurality of terminal screws 5 screwed into the at least one base body 4. Each terminal screw 5 is designed to sandwich the eyelet or fork end of the cable lug 2 between at least one base body 4 and said terminal screw 5. In fig. 1, only the eyelet end of eyelet cable lug 2 is shown, but the forked end of forked cable lug may also be used. Furthermore, the terminal 1 comprises a housing 6 with a fixed housing part 7, which in this example comprises a first sub-part 8a and a second sub-part 8b mounted thereto by housing screws 9, and which is fixedly arranged with respect to the at least one base body 4. Furthermore, the housing 6 comprises a plurality of movable housing parts 10 which are individually movably arranged in the fixed housing part 7. The housing 6 encloses the at least one base body 4 and the terminal screw 5. In addition, space is provided for the cable lug 2 within the housing 6. Each movable housing part 10 is associated with a respective terminal screw 5 and comprises a (central) recess a forming a feed-through for the cable 3 mounted to the cable lug 2 associated with said movable housing part 10.
In this example, the terminal 1 is mounted to a base plate 11, which may be part of an example switchgear. However, the application is not mandatory, and the terminal 1 may also be used for other applications.
Fig. 2 to 4 now show the cable connection 12 in different views, i.e. the terminal 1 has a cable lug 2 and a cable 3 connected thereto. Fig. 2 shows a top view of the cable connection 12 with the first subsection 8a of the stationary housing part 7 separated, and fig. 3 and 4 show the complete cable connection 12 in different views. In fig. 2 to 4, the cable 3 is guided through the recess a of the movable housing part 10.
In the example shown in fig. 1 to 4, the movable housing part 10 is movably arranged in a recess B of the fixed housing part 7, which is advantageous but not mandatory. Preferably, each movable housing part 10 is movable transversely to the axis C of the associated terminal screw 5, in particular perpendicularly to said axis C, as in the example shown in fig. 1 to 4 and indicated by the arrow. In this example, the movable housing parts 10 are each movable in one linear direction y of a cartesian coordinate system. However, it is also possible that the movable housing parts 10 are each movable in a plane in two orthogonal directions y, z of a cartesian coordinate system. Advantageously, the movable housing parts 10 are each movable within a range of movement of + -2 mm. However, another range of movement is also possible. Advantageously, the central axis D of the recess a forming the feed-through in the movable housing part 10 in one position of the movable housing part 10 intersects the axis C of the associated terminal screw 5, as is the case in the example shown in fig. 1 to 4.
By means of the movable housing part 10, different types of cable lugs 2 can be easily mounted to the terminal 1 and tolerances of the cable lugs 2 can be easily compensated for. Furthermore, different angles of rotation of the cable lug 2 about the screw axis C are possible without damaging the protection of the interior of the housing 6. In particular, fig. 2 shows the meaning thereof. From there it can be seen that all three cable lugs 2 are mounted to the terminal 1 at different angles of rotation about the thread axis C of the terminal screw 5. The movable housing part 10 compensates for these different angles of rotation. A range of movement of 2mm advantageously allows for compensation of common tolerances and rotation angles. In particular, the axis E of at least two cable lugs 2 or cables 3 may comprise an angle within the range of ±10° within the housing 6. When the central axis D of the recess a forming the feed-through in the movable housing part 10 intersects the axis C of the associated terminal screw 5, the cable 3 is mounted to the terminal 1 at a zero angle.
By means of the above measures, the housing 6 advantageously provides protection in accordance with IP3XD or IP4X according to standard ISO 20653, whether or not the cable lug 2 is mounted at zero angle. Note that there may also be a movable housing part 10 without a recess a, as is the case with the leftmost movable housing part 10 in fig. 1 to 4. This is useful if not all possible positions of the terminal 1 are gripped by the cable lug 2.
The above measures are particularly useful for thick cables 3 which cannot be bent easily with small radii. In general, the area of the recess a forming the feed-through in the movable housing part 10 may advantageously be 1.25mm 2 And 70mm 2 Within a range between. Furthermore, cables 3 of different cross-sectional areas can be guided through the recess a of the movable housing part 10, in particular with a cross-section of 1.25mm 2 And 70mm 2 A cable 3 in the range between. By selecting a movable housing part 10 whose recess a fits the cross-section of the cable 3 (i.e. by selecting a movable housing part 10 having a recess a with a size corresponding to the cross-section of the cable 3), the above-mentioned level of protection can be easily achieved for cables 3 of different cross-sections.
The grooves a in the movable housing part a may all have the same or different dimensions so that cables 3 having the same cross-sectional area or different cross-sectional areas may be mounted to the terminal 1.
In general, it is also advantageous if a set of terminals 1 is provided, wherein the movable portions 10 of different terminals 1 have grooves a of different dimensions. In this way, the terminal 1 can be adapted to different requirements, i.e. to different cable sizes.
If the movable housing parts 10 are each movable in a plane in two orthogonal directions y, z of a cartesian coordinate system, it is possible to compensate not only for a rotation of the cable lug 2 about the screw axis C, but also for a deformation of the cable lug 2 in the vertical z direction.
In the example shown in fig. 1 to 4, the first housing subsection 8a and the second housing subsection 8b are cup-shaped, while the movable housing section 10 is plate-shaped. In this way, the movable housing part 10 can be easily produced by cutting or punching a plate-like material. However, one skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other shapes may be used for the housing 6.
In general, it is advantageous if the movable housing part 10 is made of a rigid plastic, in particular a fibre-reinforced plastic. The housing 6 can thus withstand very adverse environmental conditions, such as short circuits, high-energy arc flashes. In particular, the movable housing part 10 is superior to conventional gaskets or rubber materials not only in terms of mechanical strength but also in terms of temperature, especially when the cable 3 passing through the movable housing part 10 emits light.
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-disclosed embodiments, but a combination of different modifications is possible. In practice, the terminal 1 and the cable connection 12 may have more or fewer components than shown in the figures. Furthermore, the present description may include additional independent inventive subject matter.
It should also be noted that the term "comprising" does not exclude other elements and the use of the article "a" or "an" does not exclude a plurality. Elements described in association with different embodiments may also be combined. It should also be noted that reference signs in the claims shall not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
