Innerhalb des Hohlraums (104) des Gehäuses ist ein einziger Kontaktbügel (200) angeordnet, durch den es ermöglicht wird, den mindestens einen elektrischen Leiter (10) aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen an die elektrische Leiterbahn (20) zu kontaktieren oder zwei verschiedene elektrische Leiter (10a, 10b) an die elektrische Leiterbahn (20) anzuklemmen.A contacting device (1) comprises a housing (100) with a cavity (104), with first and second openings (101, 102) for respectively inserting the at least one electrical conductor (10) into the cavity (104) and with a third one Opening (103) for insertion of the electrical conductor (20) in the cavity (104). Within the cavity (104) of the housing, a single contact clip (200) is arranged, by which it is possible to contact the at least one electrical conductor (10) from different directions to the electrical conductor (20) or two different electrical conductors (10a , 10b) to the electrical track (20).
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kontaktierungsvorrichtung zum Kontaktieren mindestens eines elektrischen Leiters an eine elektrische Leiterbahn. The invention relates to a contacting device for contacting at least one electrical conductor to an electrical conductor track.
Zum Anschließen eines elektrischen Leiters an eine elektrische Leiterbahn eines elektrischen Bauelements, beispielsweise eines Schützes, eines Leistungsschalters, eines Motorschutzschalters oder eines thermischen Relais, wird eine Kontaktierungsvorrichtung benötigt. In Abhängigkeit von dem jeweiligen Anwendungsfall ist es oftmals nur möglich, den elektrischen Leiter aus einer bestimmten Richtung mit der elektrischen Leiterbahn zu kontaktieren. In anderen Anwendungsfällen besteht die Notwendigkeit, mehrere elektrische Leiter aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen oder nur aus einer Richtung kommend an eine gemeinsame elektrische Leiterbahn zu kontaktieren. For connecting an electrical conductor to an electrical conductor of an electrical component, such as a contactor, a circuit breaker, a motor protection switch or a thermal relay, a contacting device is required. Depending on the particular application, it is often only possible to contact the electrical conductor from a certain direction with the electrical conductor. In other applications, there is a need to contact several electrical conductors coming from different directions or only from one direction to a common electrical conductor.
Ein Anliegen der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Kontaktierungsvorrichtung zum Kontaktieren mindestens eines elektrischen Leiters an eine elektrische Leiterbahn bereitzustellen, durch die es ermöglicht wird, den mindestens einen elektrischen Leiter mit hoher vom Anwendungsfall abhängiger Flexibilität an die elektrische Leiterbahn anzuschließen. It is an object of the present invention to provide a contacting device for contacting at least one electrical conductor to an electrical conductor track, by means of which it is possible to connect the at least one electrical conductor to the electrical conductor track with high flexibility depending on the application.
Eine Ausführungsform einer derartigen Kontaktierungsvorrichtung ist im Patentanspruch 1 angegeben. Die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung umfasst ein Gehäuse mit einem Hohlraum, mit einer ersten und zweiten Öffnung zum jeweiligen Einschieben des elektrischen Leiters in den Hohlraum und mit einer dritten Öffnung zum Einschieben der elektrischen Leiterbahn in den Hohlraum. Des Weiteren umfasst die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung einen Kontaktbügel, der in dem Hohlraum des Gehäuses angeordnet ist, wobei der Kontaktbügel einen ersten Abschnitt und einen zweiten Abschnitt umfasst. An embodiment of such a contacting device is specified in
Der Kontaktbügel ist derart ausgebildet, dass der Leiter mittels des ersten Abschnitts des Kontaktbügels an einen Abschnitt der Leiterbahn gedrückt wird, wodurch der Leiter zum elektrischen Kontaktieren mit der Leiterbahn im Klemmsitz an der Leiterbahn gehalten wird, wenn der Leiter in die erste Öffnung des Gehäuses und die Leiterbahn in die dritte Öffnung des Gehäuses eingeschoben ist. Weiter ist der Kontaktbügel derart ausgebildet, dass der Leiter mittels des zweiten Abschnitts des Kontaktbügels in dem Hohlraum des Gehäuses fixiert wird und der Leiter mittels des zweiten Abschnitts des Kontaktbügels elektrisch mit einem zweiten Abschnitt der Leiterbahn verbunden ist, wenn der Leiter in die zweite Öffnung des Gehäuses und die Leiterbahn in die dritte Öffnung des Gehäuses eingeschoben ist. The contact clip is configured such that the conductor is pressed by means of the first portion of the contact clip to a portion of the conductor track, whereby the conductor for electrically contacting the conductor track is held in a press fit on the conductor track, when the conductor in the first opening of the housing and the conductor is inserted into the third opening of the housing. Further, the contact clip is formed such that the conductor is fixed by means of the second portion of the contact clip in the cavity of the housing and the conductor is electrically connected by means of the second portion of the contact clip with a second portion of the conductor track when the conductor in the second opening of the Housing and the conductor track is inserted into the third opening of the housing.
Weitere Ausgestaltungsformen der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. Further embodiments of the contacting device are specified in the subclaims.
Mittels der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung kann ein elektrischer Leiter je nach Anwendungsfall aus verschiedenen Richtungen mit der elektrischen Leiterbahn kontaktiert werden. Des Weiteren ist es möglich zwei verschiedene Leiter gleichzeitig mit derselben elektrischen Leiterbahn zu kontaktieren. By means of the contacting device, an electrical conductor can be contacted, depending on the application, from different directions with the electrical conductor track. Furthermore, it is possible to contact two different conductors simultaneously with the same electrical conductor.
Im Vergleich zu einem typischen Stahlkäfigaufbau einer Kontaktierungsvorrichtung mit herkömmlichen Push-In-Federn ist die Konstruktion der erfindungsgemäßen Kontaktierungsvorrichtung kostengünstiger und weist nur einen kleinen Bauraum auf. Da der mindestens eine elektrischen Leiter im Unterschied zu herkömmlichen Stahlfederkonstruktionen direkt an die elektrische Leiterbahn geklemmt wird, lässt sich mit der erfindungsgemäßen Kontaktierungsvorrichtung ein zusätzlicher Übergangswiderstand einsparen. Insbesondere kann eine komplette Feder inklusiv Stahlrahmen eingespart werden. Compared to a typical steel cage structure of a contacting device with conventional push-in springs, the construction of the contacting device according to the invention is less expensive and has only a small installation space. Since the at least one electrical conductor, unlike conventional steel spring constructions, is clamped directly to the electrical conductor track, an additional contact resistance can be saved with the contacting device according to the invention. In particular, a complete spring including steel frame can be saved.
Während bei den üblichen Kontaktierungsvorrichtungen mindestens zwei Federn notwending sind, wird das Klemmen von einem Leiter aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen an eine Leiterbahn beziehungsweise das Klemmen von mehr als einem Leiter an die Leiterbahn bei der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung der Erfindung nur durch einen Kontaktbügel beziehungsweise durch eine Feder realisiert, die in dem Gehäuse der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Durch den kleineren Bauraum kann somit auch das für einen Anwender insbesondere im Bereich der Haustechnik wichtige Kappenmaß/Schultermaß eingehalten werden. Gerade für diesen Anwenderbereich ist die Anschlussrichtung wichtig, da die Kappe die Geräte üblicherweise von vorne bedeckt. While in the usual contacting devices at least two springs are necessary, the clamping of a conductor from different directions to a conductor or the clamping of more than one conductor to the conductor in the contacting device of the invention is realized only by a contact clip or by a spring, the is arranged in the housing of the contacting device. As a result of the smaller installation space, it is thus also possible to observe the cap size / shoulder size which is important for a user, in particular in the field of building technology. Especially for this user area, the connection direction is important because the cap usually covers the devices from the front.
