Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Gerät mit einem Gehäuse, mit einem in dem Gehäuse angeordneten Schaltungsträger und mit einem mit dem Schaltungsträger verbundenen elektrischen Anschlußelement, das in eine Ausnehmung in der Wand des Gehäuses eingesetzt ist, wobei das Gehäuse wenigstens zwei Ausnehmungen aufweist und wobei das Anschlußelement wahlweise in eine der Ausnehmungen einsetzbar ist.The invention relates to an electrical device having a housing, with a circuit carrier arranged in the housing and with an electrical connection element connected to the circuit carrier, which is inserted into a recess in the wall of the housing, wherein the housing has at least two recesses and wherein the connection element can be used optionally in one of the recesses.
Elektrische Geräte weisen üblicherweise elektrische Anschlußelemente auf, die beispielsweise als Steckverbinder oder Steckerleisten ausgeführt sein können. Diese Anschlußelemente sind zur Zuführung elektrischer Energie, zum Anschluß elektrischer Verbraucher oder zur signaltechnischen Anbindung des Gerätes an andere Geräte vorgesehen.Electrical devices usually have electrical connection elements that can be designed, for example, as connectors or power strips. These connection elements are provided for supplying electrical energy, for connecting electrical consumers or for signaling connection of the device to other devices.
Im Falle der Montage des Gerätes an einem räumlich begrenzten Anbauort, kann sich das Problem ergeben, daß das elektrische Anschlußelement dort nicht optimal zugänglich ist und so die Montage oder der elektrischen Anschluß des Geräts erschwert oder sogar unmöglich wird. Dies kann zu einem erheblichen zusätzlichen Kostenaufwand führen oder sogar die vorgesehene Verwendung des Geräts ganz unmöglich machen.In the case of installation of the device in a spatially limited location, the problem may arise that the electrical connection element is not optimally accessible there and thus complicates the assembly or electrical connection of the device or even impossible. This can lead to a significant additional cost or even make the intended use of the device quite impossible.
Ein Ausweg besteht darin, mehrere Gerätevarianten vorzusehen, deren jeweilige Ausgestaltung an den vorgesehenen Anbauort angepaßt ist. Verschiedene Gerätevarianten vorzusehen, bedeutet aber einen erhöhten Entwicklungsaufwand sowie höhere Fertigungskosten durch geringere Stückzahlen bei jeder Variante.A way out is to provide several device variants whose respective design is adapted to the intended location. To provide different device variants, but means an increased development effort and higher production costs due to lower quantities in each variant.

Es ergab sich die Aufgabe, ein elektrisches Gerät so auszubilden, daß die Anordnung des Anschlußelements flexibler an die Erfordernisse des vorgesehenen Anbauortes anpaßbar ist.It gave rise to the task of an electrical device in such a way that the arrangement of the connection element is more flexible adaptable to the requirements of the intended growing location.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß das elektrische Anschlußelement mit einer von mehreren Anschlußstellen verbindbar ist, die an zumindest zwei verschiedenen Randabschnitten des Schaltungsträgers angeordnet sind.This object is achieved in that the electrical connection element is connectable to one of a plurality of connection points, which are arranged on at least two different edge portions of the circuit carrier.
Der besondere Vorteil besteht darin, daß hier alle Gerätevarianten aus den gleichen Komponenten bestehen, die lediglich bei der Montage zu unterschiedlichen Gerätevarianten zusammengefügt werden können. Damit können alle Gerätekomponenten kostengünstig in großen Stückzahlen gefertigt werden.The particular advantage is that here all device variants consist of the same components that can be assembled only during assembly to different device variants. This means that all device components can be inexpensively manufactured in large quantities.
Der Montageaufwand zur Herstellung mehrerer Gerätevarianten ist dabei kaum größer als bei der Herstellung einer einzigen Gerätevariante.The assembly effort for the production of several device variants is barely greater than in the production of a single device variant.
Weiterhin ist vorteilhaft, daß die Entscheidung über die jeweils herzustellende Gerätevariante erst bei der Endmontage getroffen werden muß und nicht bei der Herstellung der Gerätekomponenten.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the decision on the device variant to be produced in each case must be made only during the final assembly and not in the manufacture of the device components.
Das Gehäuse weist dabei vorteilhafterweise mehrere, vorzugsweise zwei bis vier, vorzugsweise gleichwertige Ausnehmungen auf, durch die das Anschlußelement zugänglich gemacht werden kann.The housing advantageously has several, preferably two to four, preferably equivalent recesses, through which the connection element can be made accessible.
Vorteilhaft ist, die nicht mit einem Anschlußelement bestückten Ausnehmungen des Gehäuses mit einem, vorzugsweise deckelartigen, Abschlußelement zu verschließen. It is advantageous to close the not equipped with a connecting element recesses of the housing with a, preferably cover-like, closure element.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn diese Abschlußelemente Verbindungselemente aufweisen, wie zum Beispiel angeformte Schraublaschen, mittels derer das Gerät an seinem Anbauort befestigt werden kann.It is particularly advantageous if these closure elements have connecting elements, such as molded Schraublaschen, by means of which the device can be attached to its place of attachment.
Für den Fall, daß die räumliche Orientierung des Schaltungsträgers innerhalb des Gerätegehäuses festliegt, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Anschlußelement an verschiedenen Anschlußstellen mit dem Schaltungsträger verbunden werden kann.In the event that the spatial orientation of the circuit substrate is fixed within the device housing, it is advantageous if the connection element can be connected at different connection points with the circuit carrier.
So können beispielsweise an mehreren Rändern einer Leiterplatte Anschlußbohrungen zur Aufnahme von Kontakten einer Steckerleiste vorgesehen sein, so daß die Steckerleiste in mehreren Abgangsrichtungen mit der Leiterplatte verbunden werden kann.Thus, for example, at several edges of a circuit board connecting holes for receiving contacts of a connector strip may be provided, so that the connector strip can be connected in several outgoing directions with the circuit board.
Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, daß alle Anschlußstellen des Schaltungsträgers für das Anschlußelement elektrisch gleichwertig ausgeführt sind; ebenso vorteilhaft kann es sein, wenn verschiedene Anschlußbelegungen des Anschlußelements oder verschiedene Funktionsvarianten durch die verschiedenen Anschlußstellen realisiert werden.It can be provided that all connection points of the circuit substrate are designed to be electrically equivalent for the connection element; it may also be advantageous if different terminal assignments of the terminal element or different functional variants are realized by the different connection points.
Vorteilhaft verwendet werden kann das erfindungsgemäße Gerät beispielsweise als Steuergerät oder als Schaltergehäuse in einem Kraftfahrzeug, da hier häufig das Problem beengter Platzverhältnisse beim Geräteeinbau besteht.Advantageously, the device according to the invention can be used, for example, as a control unit or as a switch housing in a motor vehicle, since there is often the problem of cramped space when installing the device.
Im folgenden soll ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung dargestellt und näher erläutert werden.In the following an embodiment of the invention will be illustrated with reference to the drawing and explained in more detail.

Das dargestellte Gerät dient in einem Kraftfahrzeug als Schalterbaugruppe zur Betätigung von elektrisch verstellbaren Fenstern oder Sitzen. Gerade in Kraftfahrzeugen besteht häufig das Problem, daß zum Anbau von Geräten nur ein sehr begrenzter Raum zur Verfügung steht. Verschärft wird das Problem dadurch, daß die Anbaulage des Geräts am Anbauort durch die verkörperte Funktion festgelegt sein kann, und daher das Gerät beispielsweise nicht ohne weiteres in einer gedrehten Anbaulage montiert werden kann. Daher soll die Richtung, aus der der Anschluß des Geräts erfolgt möglichst flexibel anpaßbar sein, was, wie nachfolgend beschrieben, durch eine variable Anordnung der als Anschlußelement vorgesehenen Steckerleiste am Gehäuse erreichbar ist.The illustrated device is used in a motor vehicle as a switch assembly for actuating electrically adjustable windows or seats. Especially in motor vehicles, there is often the problem that only a very limited space is available for the cultivation of equipment. The problem is aggravated by the fact that the mounting position of the device at the place of attachment can be determined by the embodied function, and therefore the device, for example, can not be readily mounted in a rotated mounting position. Therefore, the direction from which the connection of the device is as flexible as possible adaptable, which, as described below, can be achieved by a variable arrangement of the connector strip provided as a connector on the housing.
