Description

The invention relates to a collection connector strip with a base rail, on which can be mounted on one another terminal housing of a preferably insulating material mountable, in particular latched or clamped.

Such collection terminal strips are known per se from the prior art, but are relatively complex and inflexible in terms of their structure. The object of the invention is to make the collection header more flexible customizable.

The solution to this problem is the object of the invention.

The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1. Due to the disc structure with connecting plates for one conductor, the structure is particularly clear, simple and extremely flexible.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows:

1 an explosive view of a collection connector strip according to the invention,

2a Different views of a further embodiment of a collection connector strip according to the invention.

1 shows a sprinkler view of a hunt group bar 1 with a base rail 2 in angular form, the two mutually perpendicular aligned mounting leg 31 . 41 having. Lateral, to the mounting legs 31 . 41 right-angled wall sections 5 . 6 limit this base rail 2 laterally.

At the base rail 2 are connectable to each other connection housing 3 . 4 made of a preferably insulating material mountable. Preferably, the connection housing 3 . 4 at the base rail 2 For example, latched or clamped, for example in the range of mounting feet 7 . 8th (Preferably hook-like locking means), which are adapted to the edges 9 . 10 the two wall sections 5 . 6 to encompass, preferably to grip or latch.

In the connection housing 3 . 4 is in each case a single conductor connection 11 respectively. 12 used, which is designed to contact a conductor end. The conductor connection can be realized in any connection technology. Here is part of the connector housing 3 . 4 one conductor each 11 in direct plug-in technology (push-in) with a clamping spring 13 in a clamping cage 14 and in a part of the junction box 3 . 4 one conductor each 12 provided in a Schraubanschlusstechnik (drawbar or the like.).

The connection housing 3 . 4 point to the conductor connections 11 respectively. 12 corresponding openings 15 . 16 for introducing the conductor ends and possibly openings 17 . 18 for operating tools or the like.

The conductor connections 11 . 12 are electrically conductive with busbar pieces 19 . 20 connected.

These busbar pieces are bent here in an angular shape, wherein the one leg 21 with the conductor connections 11 . 12 is connected and where the free end of the other leg 22 a contact fork 231 formed.

The contact forks 231 the juxtaposed terminal housing 3 . 4 aligned with each other. You can busbar pieces, preferably arbitrarily cut-to-length or rated busbar pieces 24a - 24d be electrically connected.

Purely by way of example is in 1 shown that one, six or nine of the contact forks 231 electrically conductive via the busbar pieces 24a -D are connected to each other.

For example, it is possible in each case a connection housing 3 with a screw connection 11 electrically conductive over one of the busbar pieces 24a -D with one or more directly to the connector housing 3 lined up connection boxes 3 with one of the direct plug connectors 12 connect to.

It is also possible, for example, in each case a plurality of connection housing 3 with one of the screw connections 11 electrically conductive over one of the busbar pieces 24a -D with each other or with one or more of the junction boxes 4 with the push-in connections 12 connect to.

By the measure of any cross-cut busbar pieces 24a -D can be done directly by selecting the length of the busbar sections 24 each an electrically conductive cross-connection over any number of individual modules are formed away.

2a -E shows various views of a further embodiment of a collection connector according to the invention 1 , 2a and b show the hunt group bar 1 in a perspective view, 2c shows the hunt group bar 1 in a plan view, and 2d and e show various arrangements of conductor terminals of the common terminal block 1 ,

The hunt group bar 1 also has a base rail 2 in an angle on with two mutually aligned at right angles mounting legs 31 . 41 , Lateral, to the mounting legs 31 . 41 right-angled wall sections 5 . 6 also limit this base rail 2 laterally. However, it is on a mounting leg 31 also a holding rail 311 arranged in the base rail 2 inserted connection housing 3 . 4 holds upwards.

The connection housing 3 . 4 are stackable in the base rail by placing them one after the other in the base rail 2 be inserted, with a guide groove 27 of a connection housing 3 . 4 along a guide bridge 26 of the adjacent connection housing 3 . 4 to be led.

Here too are connection housings 3 . 4 with conductor connections 11 in screw connection technology as well as with conductor connections 12 provided in direct plug-in technology, wherein the conductor connections 12 in Direktstecktechnik analogous to the embodiment of 1 a clamping cage 14 and a clamping spring 13 exhibit. In addition, also on these connection housings 3 . 4 each openings 15 . 16 for introducing the conductor ends and openings 17 . 18 provided for actuation tools.

Furthermore, the conductor connections 11 . 12 also electrically conductive with busbar pieces 19 . 20 connected, which have an angular shape, wherein the one leg 21 with the conductor connections 11 . 12 is connected and where the free end of the other leg 22 a busbar contact 23 formed.

However, the busbar contact forms 23 this embodiment at the same time a cross connection to adjacent bayed connection housings 3 . 4 out. Preferably, it is S-shaped in cross-section and particularly preferably provided resiliently, so that mutually adjacent leg surfaces 232 of the busbar contact 23 contact each other in an electrically contacting manner. The busbar contact provided as a cross connection 23 allows any number of in the connection boxes 3 . 4 provided conductor connections 11 . 12 electrically conductively connect with each other.

To interrupt the cross connection between the conductor connections 11 . 12 is the busbar in this embodiment 1 between two connection housings 3 . 4 a separation insert 25 Predictable, the guide rail 26 and the guide groove 27 to connect to each other to the connection housing 3 . 4 having. In Trennseinschub is a recording groove 251 provided, in which a busbar contact 23 a neighboring connection housing 3 . 4 is insertable. The separation insert 25 , in particular the receiving groove 251 , is provided electrically insulating, so that the separation slot 25 a potential separation between its adjacent connection housings 3 . 4 causes.

At the separation slot 25 is also a latching hook 252 provided with this to the base rail 2 is latched. This will make the connection boxes 3 . 4 simultaneously between the boundary walls 5 . 6 the base rail 2 and the separation bays 25 held laterally.

Furthermore, the embodiment sees hangers 211 ago, with which the collection board 1 in a housing, for example, in a cabinet, can be suspended.
