Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Installationssystem mit Zwischensteckern zum mechanisch verrastbaren elektrischen Verbinden von konfektionierten Leitungen, dessen Zwischenstecker jeweils als im wesentlichen flacher Körper mit Steckstiften an seinem einen Ende und mit Steckbuchsen an seinem anderen Ende ausgebildet sind und zusätzliche Steckabgänge ermöglicht.The invention relates to an installation system with intermediate plugs for mechanically latching electrical connection of assembled cables, the intermediate plugs are each formed as a substantially flat body with pins at one end and with sockets at its other end and enables additional plug outlets.

Bei einem bekannten Installationssystem mit Zwischensteckern können konfektionierte Leitungen am einen Ende des Zwischensteckers an Steckstiften und am anderen Ende an Steckbuchsen in Durchgangsverbindungen angeschlossen werden. Der Zwischenstecker ermöglicht an seinem Rücken, weitere Stecker von Stromverbrauchern anzuschließen-(DE-PS 27 41 798 = VPA 77 P 4050).In a known installation system with intermediate plugs, prefabricated cables can be connected to plug pins at one end of the intermediate plug and to through-type sockets at the other end. The adapter plug on its back enables additional plugs from power consumers to be connected (DE-PS 27 41 798 = VPA 77 P 4050).

Es ist auch bekannt, durch einen Zwischenstecker vorgefertigte Schaltverbindungen zwischen Schaltern und Verbrauchern auch zu mehreren Leitungen herzustellen (DE-GM 81 27 698 = VPA 81 G 4043). Hierzu wird die Verbindungsschaltung durch in einen Anschlußrahmen einsteckbare Bauteile gebildet bzw. teilweise nach konventioneller Art hergestellt. Derartige Installationssysteme sind in verschiedenartigen Ausführungen bekannt (DE-PS 12 99 059).It is also known to also produce prefabricated switching connections between switches and consumers to a plurality of lines by means of an adapter plug (DE-GM 81 27 698 = VPA 81 G 4043). For this purpose, the connection circuit is formed by components which can be plugged into a lead frame, or in some cases produced in a conventional manner. Such installation systems are known in various types (DE-PS 12 99 059).

Um Steckverbindungen für Verbraucher an einer jeweiligen Bedarfsstelle zu ermöglichen, verwendet man bei einem anderen bekannten Installationssystem Stromschienen, zwischen denen Kontaktkörper mit Leitungsabgängen, beispielsweise nach Art von Steckern, verschieblich angeordnet werden können (DE-PS 845 068). Es ist auch bekannt, steckdosenartige Bausteine in einem zusammensteckbaren schienenartigen System an der Stelle anzuordnen, wo Steckabgänge gewünscht werden.In order to enable plug connections for consumers at a respective point of use, in another known installation system, busbars are used, between which contact bodies with cable outlets, for example, in the manner of plugs, can be arranged displaceably (DE-PS 845 068). It is also known to arrange socket-like components in a pluggable rail-like system at the point where plug-in outlets are desired.

Derartigen Installationssystemen liegt der Wunsch zugrunde, die Montage zu vereinfachen und das Umrüsten und Nachrüsten von Anlagen zu ermöglichen bzw. zu vereinfachen. Auf der anderen Seite erfordern solche Installationssysteme systemeigene Steckanschlüsse, weshalb sie sich in ein konventionelles Installationssystem schlecht integrieren lassen.Such installation systems are based on the desire to simplify assembly and to enable or simplify the retrofitting and retrofitting of systems. On the other hand, such installation systems require system-specific plug connections, which is why they are difficult to integrate into a conventional installation system.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Installa-` tionssystem zu entwickeln, das die Vorteile der montagegünstigen, änderungsfreundlichen und variablen Installationssysteme mit konfektionierten Leitungen auch für konventionelle Installationssysteme zu nutzen erlaubt.The invention is based on the object to develop an installation `tion system that allows use with cable assemblies for conventional installation systems take advantage of the installation cost, change-friendly and variable installation systems.

Die Lösung der geschilderten Aufgabe besteht nach der Erfindung darin, daß zumindest ein Zwischenstecker in eine Ausnehmung in der Wand einer Installationsdose einpaßt und zwischen seinen Steckstiften und seinen Steckbuchsen flexible Anschlußleiter aufweist, die mit seinen Verbindungsleitern von Steckstiften zu Steckbuchsen in elektrischer Verbindung stehen.The solution to the described problem is according to the invention that at least one adapter plug fits into a recess in the wall of an installation box and has flexible connecting conductors between its plug pins and its sockets, which are in electrical connection with its connecting conductors from pins to sockets.

Eine Steckdose konventioneller Art kann in einem nachträglich oder vorgefertigt ausgebildeten Ausschnitt den Zwischenstecker aufnehmen, an dessen flexiblen Anschlußleitern ein übliches Installationsgerät, beispielsweise ein Steckdosensockel, angeschlossen werden kann. Dieser Steckdosensockel, oder ein anderer Gerätesockel eines Installationsgerätes, kann an der Installationsdose in herkömmlicher Weise befestigt werden. Am freiliegenden Ende des Zwischensteckers kann man konfektionierte Leitungen anstecken. Wenn der Zwischenstecker in miteinander fluchtenden seitlichen Ausnehmungen in der Wand einer Installationsdose üblicher Abmessung einpaßt, in der er mit Rastmitteln gehalten werden kann, so lassen sich damit Steckleisten oder Installationen nach Art von Ringleitungen aufbauen.A conventional type of socket can receive the adapter plug in a subsequently or prefabricated cutout, on the flexible connecting conductors of which a conventional installation device, for example a socket base, can be connected. This socket base, or another device base of an installation device, can be attached to the installation box be attached in a conventional manner. Assembled cables can be plugged into the exposed end of the adapter plug. If the adapter plug fits in flush with one another in the side recesses in the wall of an installation box of the usual size in which it can be held with latching means, then plug strips or installations can be constructed in the manner of ring lines.

Der Zwischenstecker kann ein Gehäuse aus Kunststoff aufweisen, das im wesentlichen aus zwei durch ein Scharnier miteinander verbundenen Kunststoffschalen bestehen kann. Ein solches Scharnier kann nach Art eines Filmangußscharniers ausgebildet sein. Der Zwischenstecker kann günstigerweise so ausgebildet sein, daß er zum formschlüssigen Aufnehmen von Stiftstecker- und Buchsensteckervorrichtungen geeignet ist. Dadurch wird seine Herstellung erleichtert.The adapter plug can have a housing made of plastic, which can consist essentially of two plastic shells connected to one another by a hinge. Such a hinge can be designed in the manner of a film gate hinge. The adapter plug can advantageously be designed in such a way that it is suitable for positively receiving pin plug and socket plug devices. This makes its manufacture easier.

Es ist günstig, wenn der Zwischenstecker zwischen seinen Enden eingesattelt ist und die flexiblen Anschlußleiter an der Einsattlung trägt. Dadurch werden die flexiblen Anschlußleiter beim Einführen des Zwischensteckers in eine Installationsdose geschont.It is advantageous if the adapter plug is saddled between its ends and carries the flexible connecting conductors on the saddle. This protects the flexible connecting conductors when inserting the adapter plug into an installation box.

Eine Installationsdose üblicher Abmessung, die für das Installationssystem besonders geeignet ist, kann in ihren Wänden Vorprägungen in der Form der Ausnehmungen aufweisen. Eine solche Installationsdose ist für das erfindungsgemäße Installationssystem besonders geeignet und sie ermöglicht andererseits auch eine konventionelle Verdrahtung.An installation box of conventional dimensions, which is particularly suitable for the installation system, can have knockouts in the walls in the shape of the recesses. Such an installation box is particularly suitable for the installation system according to the invention and, on the other hand, it also enables conventional wiring.

Die Erfindung soll nun anhand von in der Zeichnung schematisch wiedergegebenen Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden:

  • In Fig. 1 ist ein Installationssystem mit Zwischenstecker und eine Installationsdose veranschaulicht, durch deren eine Ausnehmung der Zwischenstecker in Pfeilrichtung hindurchpaßt und in die andere Ausnehmung einpaßt.
  • In Fig. 2 ist nach Art einer Explosionsdarstellung veranschaulicht, wie zwei mit Zwischensteckern vormontierte Installationsdosen zu einer Doppeldose zusammengesteckt und auf einer Tragschiene gemeinsam gehalten werden können.

  • In Fig. 4 ist eine Installationsdose mit eingesetztem Zwischenstecker und Steckdosensockel herkömmlicher Art dargestellt, die auf einer Tragschiene angeordnet ist. Die seitlich zugeordneten Stecker konfektionierter Leitungen veranschaulichen, wie eine Ringleitung hergestellt werden kann.
  • In Fig. 5 ist veranschaulicht, wie Einfachsteckdosen und spezielle Doppelsteckdosen eines Unterflursystems unter Verwendung des gleichen Zwischensteckers elektrisch und mechanisch verbunden werden können.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments schematically shown in the drawing:
  • In Fig. 1, an installation system with an adapter plug and an installation box is illustrated, through whose one recess the adapter plug fits in the direction of the arrow and fits into the other recess.
  • In Fig. 2 it is illustrated in the manner of an exploded view how two installation sockets preassembled with intermediate plugs can be plugged together to form a double socket and held together on a mounting rail.
  • In Fig. 3 an installation box pre-assembled with an adapter is shown with a differently arranged recess for itself.
  • In Fig. 4, an installation box with inserted adapter and socket base of conventional type is shown, which is arranged on a mounting rail. The laterally assigned plugs of assembled cables illustrate how a ring cable can be manufactured.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates how single sockets and special double sockets of an underfloor system can be connected electrically and mechanically using the same adapter plug.

Das Installationssystem nach Fig. 1 besteht aus einem Zwischenstecker 1 und aus einer Installationsdose 2. Der Zwischenstecker ist im wesentlichen als flacher Körper ausgebildet, der an seinem einen Ende mit Steckstiften 3 und an seinem anderen Ende mit Steckbuchsen 4 versehen ist. Der Zwischenstecker läßt sich in eine Ausnehmung 5 in der Wand der Installationsdose 2 einführen. Zwischen seinen Steckstiften 3 und seinen Steckbuchsen 4 weist der Zwischenstecker 1 flexible Anschlußleiter 7 auf. Diese stehen mit seinen inneren Verbindungsleitern von Steckstiften 3 zu Steckbuchsen 4 in elektrischer Verbindung. Der Zwischenstecker 1 ist im Ausführungsbeispiel für einphasiges System mit zusätzlichem Schutzleiter veranschaulicht. An der Installationsdose 2 können Befestigungsmittel für die Dose selbst und für aufzunehmende Gerätesockel ausgebildet sein. Zum Befestigen der Dose sind Schnappränder 8 ausgebildet, mit denen die Installationsdose auf Tragschienen befestigt werden kann. ,The installation system according to FIG. 1 consists of an adapter plug 1 and an installation socket 2. The adapter plug is essentially designed as a flat body which is provided with pins 3 at one end and with sockets 4 at its other end. The adapter plug can be inserted into a recess 5 in the wall of the installation box 2. Between its pins 3 and its sockets 4, the adapter plug 1 has flexible connecting conductors 7. These are in electrical connection with their inner connecting conductors from pins 3 to sockets 4. The adapter plug 1 is in the embodiment illustrated for a single-phase system with an additional protective conductor. Fastening means for the box itself and for the device base to be accommodated can be formed on the installation box 2. To attach the box, snap edges 8 are formed, with which the installation box can be attached to mounting rails. ,

Verständlicherweise kann man die Installationsdose 2 auch mit bekannten Vorrichtungen zum Befestigen in Hohl- wänden'versehen, sie also als Hohlwanddose ausbilden. Derartige Vorrichtungen erlauben es, die Installationsdose an einer dünnen Abschlußwand anzuklammern oder auch an dickeren Wandplatten anzuklemmen. An den Schrauben 10 in den Schraubenhaltern 9, die in Ausnehmungen 11 in der Wand der Installationsdose 2 eingesteckt werden können, lassen sich Gerätesockel von Installationsgeräten mit ihren Hängebügeln befestigen. Die Installationsdose 2 hat hierfür in ihren Wänden Ausnehmungen 11 mit Schlitzen, in die sich die Schenkel U-förmiger Schraubenhalter 9 einsetzen lassen.Understandably, the installation box 2 can also be provided with known devices for fastening in hollow walls, that is to say it can be designed as a hollow wall box. Such devices allow the installation box to be clipped to a thin end wall or to be clamped to thicker wall panels. On the screws 10 in the screw holders 9, which can be inserted into recesses 11 in the wall of the installation box 2, device bases of installation devices can be attached with their hanging brackets. For this purpose, the installation box 2 has recesses 11 in its walls with slots into which the legs of the U-shaped screw holder 9 can be inserted.

Der Zwischenstecker 1 kann in die miteinander fluchtenden seitlichen Ausnehmungen 5 und 6 in der Wand der Installationsdose 2 üblicher Abmessung eingesetzt und mit Rastmitteln darin arretiert werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel paßt der Zwischenstecker 1 durch die eine der fluchtenden Ausnehmungen 5 hindurch und verrastet hinter der Wand der Installationsdose mittels einer Rastnase 12. In der anderen Ausnehmung 6 in der Wand der Installationsdose findet der Zwischenstecker einen Führungsrand. Im Ausführungsbeispiel paßt die Wand der Installationsdose am Rand der Ausnehmung 6 in einen Führungsrand 13 des Zwischensteckers 1.The adapter plug 1 can be inserted into the side recesses 5 and 6, which are aligned with one another, in the wall of the installation box 2 of customary dimensions and can be locked therein with latching means. In the exemplary embodiment, the adapter plug 1 fits through one of the aligned recesses 5 and latches behind the wall of the installation box by means of a latching lug 12. In the other recess 6 in the wall of the installation box, the adapter plug finds a guide edge. In the exemplary embodiment, the wall of the installation box at the edge of the recess 6 fits into a guide edge 13 of the intermediate plug 1.

Der Zwischenstecker 1 kann ein Gehäuse aus zweidurch ein Scharnier 14 miteinander verbundenen Kunststoffschalen 15 und 15a aufweisen. Der Zwischenstecker 1 läßt sich günstig fertigen, wenn das Gehäuse zum formschlüssigen Aufnehmen von Stiftstecker- 16 und Buchsensteckervorrichtungen 17 ausgebildet ist.The adapter plug 1 can have a housing made of two plastic shells 15 and 15a connected to one another by a hinge 14. The adapter plug 1 can be manufactured inexpensively if the housing is designed for the positive reception of pin connector 16 and socket connector devices 17.

Der Zwischenstecker 1 ist zwischen seinen Enden eingesattelt und trägt an der Einsattlung die flexiblen Anschlußleiter 7. Dadurch schont man die Anschlußleiter 7, wenn der Zwischenstecker 1 in eine Installationsdose 2 eingeführt wird.The adapter plug 1 is saddled between its ends and carries the flexible connecting conductor 7 on the insert. This protects the connecting conductor 7 when the adapter plug 1 is inserted into an installation box 2.

Eine Installationsdose 2 üblicher Abmessung kann in ihren Wänden Vorprägungen in der Form der Ausnehmungen 5, 6 für den Zwischenstecker 1 aufweisen.An installation box 2 of customary dimensions can have knockouts in the form of the recesses 5, 6 for the adapter plug 1 in its walls.

Mehrere Installationsdosen 2 lassen sich mittels eingeführter Zwischenstecker 1 anreihen, wie es in Fig. 2 veranschaulicht ist. Die Installationsdosen lassen sich hierbei in Pfeilrichtung 18 nach Fig. 2 elektrisch.und mechanisch zusammenstecken. Der mechanischen Verrastung dienen Rastarme 19 und Rastaufnahmen 20. Die mechanisch und elektrisch zusammengefügten Installationsdosen können zuvor oder nachträglich auf einer Tragschiene 21 eines Installationskanals aufgeschnappt werden. Verständlicherweise können die Installationsdosen auch in einer der vielen anderen gängigen Befestigungsarten in Gebäuden oder Installationskanälen montiert werden.Several installation boxes 2 can be added by means of an inserted adapter plug 1, as illustrated in FIG. 2. The installation boxes can be plugged together electrically and mechanically in the direction of arrow 18 according to FIG. 2. The latching arms 19 and latching receptacles 20 serve for mechanical latching. The mechanically and electrically assembled installation boxes can be snapped onto a mounting rail 21 of an installation channel beforehand or subsequently. Understandably, the installation boxes can also be installed in one of the many other common types of fastening in buildings or installation ducts.

Die Installationsdose 2 nach Fig. 3 weist einen hochkant eingeführten Zwischenstecker 1 auf, indessen die Installationsdosen nach den Fig. 1 und 2 flach am Boden eingeführte Zwischenstecker aufnehmen können. Die Schnappränder 8 können zumindest auf einer Seite wieder durch einen Zugarm 22 von einer Tragschiene gelöst werden.The installation box 2 according to FIG. 3 has an intermediate connector 1 inserted upright, but the installation boxes according to FIGS. 1 and 2 can accommodate intermediate connectors inserted flat on the floor. The snap edges 8 can again at least on one side can be released from a mounting rail by a tension arm 22.

In der Installationsdose 2 nach Fig. 4 ist mittels eines Zwischensteckers 1 ein Steckdosensockel 23 elektrisch angeschlossen. Mechanisch ist der Steckdosensockel 23 mit seinem Hängebügel 24 an den Schrauben 10 von Schraubenhaltern 9 befestigt. Einer elektrischen Durchverbindung der mit einem Steckdoseneinsatz vormontierten Installationsdose 2 dienen konfektionierte Leitungen 25 und 26, die mit ihren Schnellmontagesteckern am Zwischenstecker 1 in Pfeilrichtung 40 mechanisch verrastend angeschlossen werden können. Der Verrastung dienen Rastarme 19 und Rastaufnahmen 20. Ein besonderer Vorteil liegt darin, daß die Installationsdose fabrikseitig bestückt und somit konfektioniert werden kann. Ein Verbraucher hat dann lediglich noch konfektionierte Leitungen 25 und 26 anzustecken und abschließend eine übliche Abdeckung, im Ausführungsbeispiel eine Steckdosenabdeckung, aufzusetzen.In the installation box 2 according to FIG. 4, a socket base 23 is electrically connected by means of an intermediate plug 1. The socket base 23 is mechanically fastened with its hanging bracket 24 to the screws 10 of screw holders 9. Assembled cables 25 and 26, which can be connected in a mechanically locking manner with their quick-mounting plugs to the intermediate plug 1 in the direction of the arrow 40, serve to electrically connect the installation socket 2 preassembled with a socket insert. The latching are provided by latching arms 19 and latching receptacles 20. A particular advantage is that the installation box can be fitted at the factory and can therefore be assembled. A consumer then only has to plug in prefabricated lines 25 and 26 and finally put on a customary cover, in the exemplary embodiment a socket cover.

Das erfindungsgemäßeinstallationssystem läßt sich verständlicherweise variieren, so daß auch andere Geräteeinheiten miteinander verbunden werden können, was anhand von Fig. 5 für verschiedenartige Steckdosen einer Unterflurinstallation veranschaulicht wird. Solche Steckdosen 32 und Doppelsteckdosen 33 sind am Boden von Näpfchen angeordnet; sie sind in Dosen eines Unterflursystems eingesetzt vorzustellen. Der elektrischen Verbindung dienen wieder Zwischenstecker 1 und konfektionierte Leitungen 25. Eine solche Unterflurinstallation können auch nur mechanisch geschulte und nur angelernte Monteure verlegen.The installation system according to the invention can of course be varied so that other device units can also be connected to one another, which is illustrated with reference to FIG. 5 for different types of sockets in an underfloor installation. Such sockets 32 and double sockets 33 are arranged on the bottom of cells; they are to be presented in cans of an underfloor system.
