Ein solcher Durchführungsverbinder dient zum Beispiel als Verbinder zwischen dem Motorraum und dem Armaturenbrett des Kraftfahrzeugs. Der Durchgangsverbinder nach der DE-A 1 465 084 umfasst von unten in das Isoliergehäuse einschiebbare Steckkontakte, die mit elektrischen Leitungen verbunden sind; die Leitungen sind zu Bündeln zusammengefasst. Von oben können neben Kontaktteilen von Sicherungen auch Stecker eingesteckt werden, die wiederum mit Leitungen verbundene Steckkontakte beinhalten. Strombrücken zwischen verschiedenen Abschnitten der Trägerplatte sind in Form von elektrisch isolierten Querverbindungsleitungen an der Unterseite der Trägerplatte angeordnet.A power distributor of the type mentioned has become known in the form of a feed-through connector for mounting over an opening in a wall of a motor vehicle, see German patent applications DE-A 1465084 and DE-A 1 590072. Such a feed-through connector serves, for example, as a connector between the engine compartment and the dashboard of the motor vehicle. The through connector according to DE-A 1 465 084 comprises plug contacts which can be inserted into the insulating housing from below and which are connected to electrical lines; the lines are combined into bundles. In addition to contact parts of fuses, plugs can also be inserted from above, which in turn contain plug contacts connected to lines. Current bridges between different sections of the carrier plate are arranged in the form of electrically insulated cross-connection lines on the underside of the carrier plate.

Nach der DE-A 1 590 072 kann das Gehäuse des Durchführungsverbinders aus einem flachen Rahmen bestehen, in den verschiedene isolierende Trägerplatten eingesetzt sind. Die einzelnen Trägerplatten können mit Hilfe von Verbindungsmitteln aneinandergereiht sein und mit dem Rahmen eine Rastverbindung eingehen.According to DE-A 1 590 072, the housing of the bushing connector can consist of a flat frame in which various insulating carrier plates are inserted. The individual carrier plates can be strung together with the aid of connecting means and form a latching connection with the frame.

Bekannt ist es auch (DE-A 1465401, CH-A 468 069), Steckverbinderplatten für beliebige Verwendungszwecke aus Bausteinen zusammenzusetzen, deren Umrissform regelmässig angeordnete Vorsprünge und Ausnehmungen aufweist, die mit entsprechenden Ausnehmungen oder Vorsprüngen eines beliebigen Nachbarbausteins zusammenwirken können.It is also known (DE-A 1465401, CH-A 468 069) to assemble connector plates for any purpose from building blocks, the outline of which has regularly arranged projections and recesses which can interact with corresponding recesses or projections of any neighboring module.

Die Erfindung strebt einen hohen Vorfertigungsgrad des Kabelbaums eines Kraftfahrzeuges sowie eine leichte, schnelle und sichere Endmontage in das Kraftfahrzeug an.The invention aims for a high degree of prefabrication of the wiring harness of a motor vehicle and an easy, quick and safe final assembly in the motor vehicle.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass ein zentraler Stromverteiler für die Verdrahtung von Kraftfahrzeugen mit einer isolierenden Trägerplatte zur Aufnahme von mit elektrischen Leitungen verbundenen Steckkontakten von unten, wobei die Trägerplatte aus zwei oder mehreren nebeneinander angeordneten Teilträgerplatten besteht, die ggf. miteinander und/oder mit einem die Trägerplatte umfassenden Grundkörper verbunden sind, und mit von oben in die Trägerplatte einsteckbaren Bauteilen so ausgebildet ist, dass die Teilträgerplatten nach Art eines Puzzles geometrisch unterschiedliche Umrissformen aufweisen.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a central power distributor for the wiring of motor vehicles with an insulating carrier plate for receiving plug contacts connected to electrical lines from below, the carrier plate consisting of two or more sub-carrier plates arranged next to one another, which may be connected to one another and / or are connected to a base body comprising the carrier plate, and are designed with components that can be inserted into the carrier plate from above such that the partial carrier plates have geometrically different outline shapes in the manner of a puzzle.

Vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet. Durch die Merkmale der Patentansprüche 2 bis 4 wird eine gedrängte Bauweise des Verteilers möglich. Durch Verwendung von verschiedenen oder mehreren Steckmodulen kann die verschieden elektrische Ausstattung von verschiedenen Varianten eines Kraftfahrzeugtyps berücksichtigt werden. Auch der sogenannte Diagnosesteckanschluss kann in der bzw. den Trägerplatten oder in einem Modul angeordnet sein. Durch die Anordnung der Strombrücken gemäss einem der Patentansprüche 5 bis 7 kann deren Vormontage ebenfalls schon vor der Endmontage erfolgen, so dass durch Aneinanderfügen der Teilträgerplatten oder auch durch das Einsetzen der Teilträgerplatten in den Grundkörper oder durch das Einstecken des Moduls selbsttätig die Querverbindung (en) zwischen den einzelnen Teilträgerplatten hergestellt ist bzw. sind. Die Ausbildung nach Patentanspruch 8 betrifft die bevorzugte und im Ausführungsbeispiel näher beschriebene Ausführung, bei der eine optimale schnelle und sichere Endmontage erzielt ist.Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims. The features of claims 2 to 4 enable a compact construction of the distributor. By using different or more plug-in modules, the different electrical equipment of different variants of a motor vehicle type can be taken into account. The so-called diagnostic connector can also be arranged in the carrier plate or plates or in a module. By arranging the current bridges according to one of claims 5 to 7, they can also be preassembled before final assembly, so that the cross-connection (s) automatically occurs when the sub-carrier plates are joined together or by inserting the sub-carrier plates into the base body or by inserting the module. is or are made between the individual sub-carrier plates. The training according to claim 8 relates to the preferred and described in more detail in the embodiment, in which an optimal quick and safe final assembly is achieved.

Bei jedem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ergibt sich ein zentraler Stromverteiler, der bei entsprechender Gestaltung der Bündel des Kabelbaumes die Anordnung von weiteren Sicherungs- oder Relaiskästen oder Steckverbindungen und dergleichen vermeidet. Dies gilt selbst dann, wenn eine Anpassung des Stromverteilers an eine Ausführungsvariante des Kraftfahrzeugtyps (im Herstellerwerk) nötig ist oder wenn eine sogenannte Nachrüstung der elektrischen Verdrahtung durch den Nutzer des Kraftfahrzeuges (z.B. Anordnung von Zusatzleuchten) erfolgt. Bei zum Beispiel unfallbedingter Zerstörung eines Bündels des Kabelbaumes kann dieser zusammen mit der Teilträgerplatte ausgewechselt werden, da selbst nach Entfernung aller Teilträgerplatten aus dem Grundkörper der Zusammenbau nur in einer, und zwar in der richtigen, Form möglich ist.In each embodiment of the invention, there is a central power distributor, which avoids the arrangement of further fuse or relay boxes or plug connections and the like if the bundles of the cable harness are designed accordingly. This applies even if the power distributor needs to be adapted to a variant of the vehicle type (in the manufacturer's plant) or if the user of the vehicle retrofits the electrical wiring (e.g. arranging additional lights). If, for example, a bundle of the cable harness is destroyed as a result of an accident, it can be replaced together with the sub-carrier plate, since even after all sub-carrier plates have been removed from the base body, assembly is only possible in one, and in the correct, form.

Der zentrale Stromverteiler 1 setzt sich zusammen aus einem kastenförmigen Grundkörper 2 aus elektrisch isolierendem Material mit einem Boden 3 und mit vier Seitenwänden 4 bis 7. In den Grundkörper 2 sind fünf Teilträgerplatten 8 bis 12 einsetzbar. Die Teilträgerplatten sind nach Art von Puzzle-Teilen geometrisch unterschiedlich im Umriss ausgebildet, so dass jede einzelne nur in einen der durch Zwischenwände 13 bis 16 definierten Aufnahmeräume 17 bis 21 des Grundkörpers 2 einsetzbar ist.The central power distributor 1 is composed of a box-shaped base body 2 made of electrically insulating material with a bottom 3 and with four side walls 4 to 7. In the Base body 2, five sub-carrier plates 8 to 12 can be used. The sub-carrier plates are designed in the manner of puzzle pieces with different geometrical shapes so that each one can only be used in one of the receiving spaces 17 to 21 of the base body 2 defined by partition walls 13 to 16.

Unterhalb der Teilträgerplatten 8 bis 12 verbleibt zwischen der Unterseite derselben und dem Boden 3 ein Zwischenraum zur Aufnahme von umwickelten Leiterbündeln 22 bis 26 eines Kabelbaumes. Die Leiterbündel 22 bis 26 treten durch seitlich in den Wänden 4 und 5 angeordnete, nach oben offene Schlitze 27 bis 31 in den zentralen Stromverteiler 1 ein. Die einzelnen Leitungen, z.B. 32, der Bündel 22 bis 26 sind an ihren Enden mit Steckbuchsen 33 versehen, die in der zugehörigen Teilträgerplatte 8 bis 12 von unten in Durchgangsöffnungen eingeschoben und verrastet sind und zum Anschluss von steckbaren elektrischen Bauteilen, wie Flachsicherungen 34, Relais 35 oder Module 36 dienen, die über Steckzungen 34a, 35a und 36a mit entsprechenden Steckerbuchsen, vergleiche 33 und 37, in die Teilträgerplatten 8 bis 12 einsteckbar sind. Dabei erstreckt sich hier das Modul 36 über alle Teilträgerplatten 8 bis 12 und umfasst im Inneren auch Strombrücken 38 zwischen zwei der Steckzungen 36a zur Verbindung der Teilträgerplatten 9 und 11. Das Modul 36 hat wiederum Steckbuchsen zur Aufnahme von einsteckbaren elektrischen Bauteilen, wie Flachsicherungen 34' oder Relais 35'.

The conductor bundles 22 to 26 enter the central power distributor 1 through slots 27 to 31 which are arranged laterally in the walls 4 and 5 and are open at the top. The individual lines, e.g. 32, the bundle 22 to 26 are provided at their ends with sockets 33 which are inserted and latched into passage openings from below in the associated partial support plate 8 to 12 and for connecting pluggable electrical components, such as flat fuses 34, relays 35 or modules 36 are used, which can be inserted into the sub-carrier plates 8 to 12 via tongues 34a, 35a and 36a with corresponding plug sockets, compare 33 and 37. The module 36 here extends over all of the sub-carrier plates 8 to 12 and also includes current bridges 38 between two of the plug tongues 36 a for connecting the sub-carrier plates 9 and 11. The module 36 in turn has plug sockets for receiving plug-in electrical components, such as flat fuses 34 '. or relay 35 ' . The socket 32 'for the plug contact 34a ' of the fuse 34 'is shown in more detail.

In Fig. 2 ist eine andere Anordnung von Querverbindungen (Strombrücken) zwischen zwei oder mehreren Teilträgerplatten anhand eines Schnittes durch einen Stromverteiler 1' schematisch verdeutlicht. Die Strombrücke 38' ist hier isoliert im Grundkörper 2' angeordnet und endet als Steckzungen 39, die sich in Steckbuchsen 40 der Teilträgerplatten 10' und 11' einschieben, wenn die Teilträgerplatten 10' und 11' in den Grundkörper 2' eingesetzt werden.Another arrangement of cross connections (current bridges) between two or more sub-carrier plates is schematically illustrated in FIG. 2 by means of a section through a current distributor 1 '. The current bridge 38 'is arranged here insulated in the base body 2' and ends as plug-in tongues 39 which insert into the sockets 40 of the sub-carrier plates 10 'and 11' when the sub-carrier plates 10 'and 11' are inserted into the base body 2 '.

Hier wird der kastenförmige Grundkörper 1' mit den Teilträgerplatten 9', 10', 11' und mit den von oben einsteckbaren elektrischen Bauteilen, z. B. 34" und 36', von einer Abdeckhaube 41 überdeckt, die über eine Gelenkverbindung 42 und einen Schnappverschluss 43 mit den Seitenwänden des Grundkörpers 2' verbunden ist.Here, the box-shaped base body 1 'with the partial support plates 9', 10 ', 11' and with the electrical components, for.
