Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Anschlußverteiler mit einem Trägerkörper, der zur steckbaren Verbindung mit einem mehrpoligen elektrischen Steckverbinder ausgebildet ist und mit einem an dem Trägerkörper rastbar befestigten Leiteranschlußblock, der aus scheibenförmigen, aneinandergereihten Isoliersegmenten besteht, wobei Kontaktelemente/Leiteranschlußeinrichtungen in voneinander getrennten, kammerförmigen Ausnehmungen der Isoliersegmente aufgenommen und gehalten sind.The invention relates to a connection distributor with a carrier body, which is designed for pluggable connection with a multi-pole electrical connector and with a conductor terminal block fastened to the carrier body, which consists of disc-shaped, lined-up insulating segments, contact elements / conductor connecting devices in separate, chamber-shaped recesses of the insulating segments are recorded and held.

Derartige Anschlußverteiler dienen der Verteilung ankommender Leitungen, die im allgemeinen in einem Steckanschluß zusammengefaßt sind, in weiterführende Leitungen, wobei diese Einzel-Leitungen an Steck- oder Klemm-Anschlüssen des Anschlußverteilers angeschlossen . sind, die mit den Steckanschlüssen einer vielpoligen Steckeinrichtung elektrisch verbunden sind. Dabei ist es erforderlich, daß in betriebsmäßig verdrahteten bzw. gestecktem Zustand eine Zugänglichkeit zu den einzelnen Kontaktteilen des Anschlußverteilers vorhanden ist um hier gegebenenfalls Kontrollmessungen während des Betriebes ohne Unterbrechung bzw. Auftrennung der jeweiligen Leitungsverbindung vornehmen zu können.Such connection distributors are used to distribute incoming lines, which are generally combined in a plug-in connection, into further lines, these individual lines being connected to plug-in or terminal connections of the connection distributor. are, which are electrically connected to the plug connections of a multi-pole plug device. It is necessary that the operationally wired or plugged-in state provides access to the individual contact parts of the connection distributor in order to be able to carry out control measurements during operation without interrupting or disconnecting the respective line connection.

Zur Erfüllung dieser Erfordernisse ist aus dem DE-U-8111 418 ein Anschlußverteiler bekanntgeworden, der einerseits mit einer vielpoligen Steckeinrichtung und andererseits mit Schraub-Klemm-Anschlüssen für den Anschluß der weiterführenden Einzel-Leitungen wersehen ist. Dabei ist der Bereich der Leiteranschlüsse in der Art einer Klemmleiste aufgebaut, die im wesentlichen aus einzelnen, scheibenförmigen Isolierelementen, die die Kontaktelemente aufnehmen, besteht. Die Zusammenfassung der mittels Zapfen und entsprechenden Bohrungen formschlüssig miteinander verbundenen Einzelelemente erfolgt hier über ein entsprechend ausgebildetes Gehäuseteil, wobei die Isolierelemente mit Rastteilen zum Verrasten hinter Rastschultern des Gehäuses versehen sind. Das Gehäuseteil dient dabei gleichzeitig zur Aufnahme des Steckverbindergegenteiles und ist mit Verriegelungseinrichtungen für den Steckverbinder ausgestattet.To meet these requirements, a connection distributor has become known from DE-U-8111 418, which is seen on the one hand with a multi-pole plug-in device and on the other hand with screw-clamp connections for the connection of the further individual lines. The area of the conductor connections is constructed in the manner of a terminal strip, which essentially consists of individual, disk-shaped insulating elements which accommodate the contact elements. The combination of the individual elements which are positively connected to one another by means of pins and corresponding bores takes place here via an appropriately designed housing part, the insulating elements being provided with latching parts for latching behind latching shoulders of the housing. The housing part also serves to accommodate the connector counterpart and is equipped with locking devices for the connector.

Bei diesem bekannten, im großen und ganzen zufriedenstellenden Anschlußverteiler ist die Zugänglichkeit zu den einzelnen Kontaktelementen im betriebsmäßigen Zustand jedoch lediglich über die Schraubenköpfe der Leiter-Anschlußschrauben möglich.In this known, generally satisfactory connection distributor, access to the individual contact elements in the operational state is only possible via the screw heads of the conductor connection screws.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Anschlußverteiler zu schaffen, der eine einfache Zugänglichkeit zu den Kontaktelementen im betriebsmäßigen Zustand für Meß- und Prüfzwecke aufweist und der darüberhinaus noch die Möglichkeit bietet, eine Meß-, Prüf- oder Anzeigeeinrichtung dauerhaft, jedoch lösbar an diese Kontaktstellen anzuschließen, ohne die Verdrahtung auftrennen bzw. umklemmen zu müssen.The invention has for its object to provide a connection distributor, which has easy access to the contact elements in the operational state for measurement and testing purposes and which also offers the possibility of a measuring, testing or display device permanently, but releasably to them Connect contact points without having to cut or reconnect the wiring.

Diese Aufgabe wird in fortschrittlicher Weise erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß neben den Leiteranschlußkammern jedes Isoliersegmentes eine weitere kammerförmige Öffnung vorgesehen ist, in die eine stiftförmige bzw. messerartige Verlängerung der jeweiligen Leiteranschlußeinrichtung hineinragt.This object is achieved in a progressive manner according to the invention in that, in addition to the conductor connection chambers of each insulating segment, a further chamber-shaped opening is provided, into which a pin-shaped or knife-like extension of the respective conductor connection device projects.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 7 näher erläutert.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail in the dependent claims 2 to 7.

Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Anschlußverteiler dahingehend auszubilden, daß der Trägerkörper mit dem Leiteranschlußblock auch in vollständig verdrahtetem Zustand auf einfachste Art und Weise in einen Halterahmen eingesetzt bzw. aus diesem entfernt werden kann, wobei die Steckanschlußebene und -geometrie an sich bekannter, handelsüblicher Mehrfachsteckverbinder (Gegenstecker) beibehalten werden soll.Another object of the invention is to provide a connection distributor in such a way that the carrier body with the conductor connection block can also be inserted or removed from a holding frame in the simplest manner in a completely wired state, the plug connection level and geometry being known per se , commercially available multiple connector (mating connector) is to be retained.

Diese Aufgabe wird dardurch gelöst, daß der Leiteranschlußblock mit dem Trägerkörper von der der Steckseite abgewandten Seite her in den Halterahmen eingesetzt ist, daß die Auflage-Laschen der Haltewinkel im Bereich der Auflageschultern des Halterahmens mit Gewindebohrungen versehen sind, und daß der Haltewinkel, und somit der gesamte Anschlußverteiler, mittels von der Steckseite her betätigbarer Schrauben mit dem Halterahmen lösbar verbunden sind.This object is achieved in that the conductor connection block with the carrier body is inserted into the holding frame from the side facing away from the plug-in side, that the support tabs of the holding brackets are provided with threaded holes in the area of the supporting shoulders of the holding frame, and that the holding bracket, and thus the entire connection distributor are detachably connected to the holding frame by means of screws which can be actuated from the plug side.

Weiter vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 9 bis 15 angegeben und näher erläutert.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims 9 to 15 and explained in more detail.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß die Möglichkeit geschaffen wurde, problemlos Messungen an den Kontaktelementen des Anschlußverteilers im Betrieb durch einfaches Abtasten mit einer Meßspitze der in die kammerförmigen Öffnungen hineinragenden, hier frei zugänglichen, jedoch insgesamtgesehen geschützt angeordneten Kontaktelement-Fortsätzen vornehmen können.The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in the fact that the possibility has been created to easily carry out measurements on the contact elements of the connection distributor during operation by simply scanning with a measuring tip of the contact element extensions protruding into the chamber-shaped openings, which are freely accessible, but overall protected can.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist darin zu sehen, daß bei Verwendung eines Anschlußverteilers mit einer eingesetzten mittleren Potential-Anschlußschiene Messungen nicht nur zwischen den einzelnen Kontaktelementen möglich sind, sondern auch Messungen zwischen den Kontaktelementen und dem Basis-Potential dieser Schiene. Darüber hinaus kann ein entsprechend den Kammerabmessungen geformter Zusatzbaustein in diese Kammer eingefügt werden, wobei Kontaktierungsschlitze des Zusatzbausteines mit den Kontaktelement-Fortsätzen bzw. der Potential-Anschlußschiene in Eingriff gelangen. Dabei kann der Zusatzbaustein beispielsweise eine oder zwei Anzeigeelemente (z. B. Leuchtdioden) enthalten, die somit mit den Kontaktelementen bzw. der Potential-Anschlußschiene elektrisch verbunden werden und optisch das Vorhandensein oder Nichtvorhandensein von Signalen an den, bzw. zwischen den Kontaktelementen bzw. der Potential-Anschlußschiene elektrisch verbunden werden und optisch das Vorhandensein oder Nichtvorhandensein von Signalen an den, bzw. zwischen den Kontaktelementen anzeigen.Another advantage is that when using a connection distributor with an inserted middle potential connecting bar, measurements are not only possible between the individual contact elements, but also measurements between the contact elements and the base potential of this rail. In addition, an additional module shaped according to the chamber dimensions can be inserted into this chamber, contacting slots of the additional module coming into engagement with the contact element extensions or the potential connecting rail. The additional component can contain, for example, one or two display elements (for example light-emitting diodes), which are thus electrically connected to the contact elements or the potential connecting rail are and optically the presence or absence of signals are electrically connected to or between the contact elements or the potential connecting rail and optically indicate the presence or absence of signals at or between the contact elements.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, daß ein Zusatzbaustein mit Kurzschlußverbindungen versehen sein kann, wodurch beim Einfügen eines derartigen Bausteines ausgewählte Kontaktelemente miteinander bzw. mit einer Potential-Anschlußschiene verbunden (verschaltet) werden können. Darüber hinaus kann'ein Anschlußverteiler, der mit einem entsprechenden Halterahmen versehen ist, in einen Durchbruch einer Gehäuse- bzw. Schaltschrankwand eingefügt werden, wobei dann die vielpolige Steckeinrichtung auf der Außenseite angeordnet ist und die Anschlüsse für die weiterführende Einzelverdrahtung, sowie die Meß- und Prüfanschlüsse geschützt auf der Innenseite des Gehäuses bzw. des Schaltschrankes angeordnet sind.Another advantage of the invention is that an additional module can be provided with short-circuit connections, whereby selected contact elements can be connected (connected) to one another or to a potential connecting rail when such a module is inserted. In addition, a connection distributor, which is provided with a corresponding holding frame, can be inserted into an opening in a housing or control cabinet wall, in which case the multipole plug device is arranged on the outside and the connections for the further individual wiring, as well as the measuring and Test connections are protected on the inside of the housing or the control cabinet.

Die mit der Erfindung weiterhin erzielten Vorteile bestehen darin, daß die in den Halterahmen (Flanschgehäuse) einfügbare Baueinheit «Anschlußverteiler», bestehend aus Trägerkörper, Leiteranschlußblock und Haltewinkeln, so in den, an einer Wandfläche befestigten Halterahmen einfügbar ist, daß sie auch in vollständig verdrahtetem Zustand von der Rückseite des Halterahmens her in diesen eingeschoben und von der Vorderseite (Steckseite) her mittels Schraubverbindungen befestigt werden kann.The advantages further achieved with the invention are that the "connection distributor", which can be inserted into the holding frame (flange housing), consisting of carrier body, conductor terminal block and holding brackets, can be inserted into the holding frame fastened to a wall surface in such a way that it is also fully wired Condition can be inserted into the back of the holding frame and fastened from the front (plug-in side) using screw connections.

Dabei ist es nunmehr möglich, auch einen betriebsmäßig verdrahteten Anschlußverteiler nachträglich aus dem Halterahmen zu lösen und falls erforderlich an anderer Stelle, z. B. Nachbar--Einbaupiatz, in einen anderen Halterahmen einzufügen.It is now possible to subsequently detach an operationally wired connection distributor from the holding frame and, if necessary, elsewhere, e.g. B. Neighbor - mounting slot to insert in another holding frame.

Die nunmehr gegebene Möglichkeit, den Anschlußverteiler auch in verdrahtetem Zustand vollständig aus dem Halterahmen entfernen zu können, ist auch deshalb besonders vorteilhaft, weil bei beengten Einbauverhältnissen zum Zwecke von Verdrahtungsänderungen der Anschlußverteiler einfach aus dem Halterahmen nach rückwärts herausgezogen werden kann, wobei dann gegebenenfalls erforderliche Verdrahtungsänderungen problemlos vorgenommen werden können.The possibility now given to be able to completely remove the connection distributor from the holding frame even in the wired state is also particularly advantageous because in confined installation conditions for the purpose of wiring changes, the connection distributor can simply be pulled out of the holding frame backwards, in which case any necessary wiring changes are then required can be made easily.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below.
