Definitions

  • the invention relates to a terminal block for connecting a large number of electrical conductors, in which the connection points / conductor insertion openings are arranged in parallel rows lying next to one another, and to a plug-in device with such a terminal block.
  • Terminal strips of this type serve as connection or distribution devices, with incoming conductors being inserted into the terminal strip, connected to internal contact devices, and one or, if appropriate, also a plurality of connection points being provided for outgoing or outgoing lines.
  • the assignment of the lines to the various connection points and circuits must also be clearly recognizable, even with connected lines, in order to avoid incorrect wiring in the event of changes in the wiring and circuitry.
  • terminal blocks each have connection points for the incoming and outgoing lines, which are arranged on opposite sides of the terminal blocks.
  • terminal blocks are generally only intended for the connection of one incoming and one outgoing line per individual terminal.
  • connection points are partially covered by the lines when the terminal strip is fully wired, so that the entire conductor connection arrangement becomes confusing.
  • connection / terminal points results in either very large connection fields of the terminal strip or in the case of denser mutual assignment of the clamp connections there are problems with the connection of the lines, since the lines partially cover the connection points / conductor entry openings and the connection possibilities become confusing.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a terminal strip of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the line connections of the various connection points are as confined as possible, i.e. are arranged in a space-saving manner and the conductor connection points / conductor insertion openings cannot be covered by the cables, even with all possible connected cables.
  • any markings of the conductor connection points that may be provided should always be legible, or any test openings provided in the terminal strip for test pins should always be freely accessible.
  • This object is achieved in that a cable duct running parallel to each of the two rows of conductor connections is formed in the insulating body of the terminal strip.
  • connection lines can be inserted in the cable duct formed between two rows of connecting points of the terminal strip without any problems and thus the covering of the connecting points or test openings by any connecting lines is avoided with certainty.
  • connection field of the terminal strip can be constructed in an extremely space-saving manner and that each conductor connection point is always correctly identified by the marking on the cover plates.
  • Fig. 1 shows a terminal block 1 with its connection field 2 for the connection of electrical conductors 3, and Fig.2 shows a section of the terminal block.
  • the terminal block is constructed in block form from lined-up, disk-shaped insulating segments 4.
  • Conductor connection devices / contact elements 5 are held in a form-fitting manner in corresponding receiving recesses 6 in the insulating segments, two contact elements being connected to each other here.
  • the contact elements 5 are designed as screwless connection terminals, with so-called cage tension springs 7, but screw terminals or plug connections can also be provided here for the individual conductors.
  • Conductor insertion openings 8 are provided on the upper side of the insulating segments, through which the conductors 3 to be connected are brought up to the contact elements 5 and connected there.
  • openings 9 are formed through which the contact elements are accessible for a test pin in order to be able to carry out measurements on the contact elements / the line connections even with connected conductors. In the exemplary embodiment, this opening 9 is also the actuation opening for the cage spring 7.
  • a fastening device 10 is formed by means of which the terminal block can be fastened to a fastening surface or on a mounting rail.
  • the conductor insertion openings 8 and the test openings 9 are arranged in parallel rows after the insulating segments 4 have been joined together and are accessible from the top of the terminal strip.
  • the insulating segments are each provided with recesses 11 between two conductor insertion openings 8 / conductor connection points, wherein after the insulating segments have been separated from one another, a cable duct 12 running parallel to the conductor insertion openings (rows) is formed in the terminal strip 1.
  • side parts 13 are provided, which are designed essentially like the insulating segments in their outer shape.
  • Recesses 11 1 are also formed in the side parts, which form a continuation of the cable channel 12 of the terminal strip. Here, however, a narrowing of the upper opening 14 of the recess is provided in order to make it more difficult for the conductors inserted into the cable duct to slip out when wiring the terminal strip.
  • the side parts are formed higher than the insulating segments 4.
  • slot-shaped guide grooves 15 are formed, the openings 16 of which point towards the connection field.
  • Cover plates 17 are inserted into these grooves.
  • the cover plates are slidably held in the grooves and are pushed over the respective cable duct after all conductors have been connected and inserted into the cable duct. This completely covers the cable duct and prevents the conductors from slipping out.
  • the cover plates are provided with locking means 18, by means of which the plates are held in their locking position in the cable duct and can only be pushed out of this position by increased effort.
  • the cover plates are designed in such a width that the test openings 9 remain accessible for a test pin after positioning over the respective cable duct.
  • In the top of the cover plate further locking grooves 19 are formed, in which commercially available labels 20 can be snapped. These labels are then clearly assigned to the respective test opening 9 or the conductor connection / the conductor insertion opening 8.
  • the cover plates can be moved up or down, so that on the one hand the cable duct is opened and on the other hand the conductor insertion openings are accessible. The conductors can then be connected and inserted into the cable duct.
  • the labels remain assigned to the respective connection point and are always perfectly legible, i.e. they are not covered by the connected conductors.
  • the conductors connected first do not cover the conductor entry openings of the conductors to be connected later, since these are accommodated in the cable duct provided between the conductor connection points.
  • FIG. 3 shows a plug-in device 21 in which, on the one hand, electrical individual conductors in a terminal strip formed with a connection field, and, on the other hand, a large number of electrical conductors can be connected by means of a common plug connection, the
  • Fig. 4 shows a section through such a device.
  • the conductor connection area in particular the design of the cable duct, the conductor connection points, test openings, cover plates, side parts, etc., is basically the same as in the case of the terminal strip described above, so that the structure and operation of these parts will not be described again here. It is in the
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 the parts corresponding to FIGS. 1 and 2 provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the disc-shaped insulating segments 4 1 with a lower, opposite the connector panel approach 22 are provided.
  • the contact parts 5 are not connected to one another, but rather are connected via respective individual busbars 23 to plug-in contact parts 24, which are guided through the extension 22 to the outside.
  • a commercially available plug connector insulating body 25 is provided in front of the shoulder 22 and the plug contact parts 24 are immersed in the contact openings 26 thereof. The plug contact parts then protrude into the plug region 27 of the insulating body, where they can be contacted by means of a commercially available mating plug.
  • the mechanical connection between the insulating segment block and the insulating body takes place by means of lateral angles 28 which are screwed to the insulating body and the side parts 13 'of the insulating segment block.
  • the segment block with the insulating body is provided with a flange housing 29, which is equipped with locking devices 30, which interact with the mating connector (not shown here).
  • the insulating body 25 provided with the brackets 28 is first inserted into the flange housing, which may be fixed in front of a wall opening, preferably from the mating connector side, and then from the other, the connection side, from the Segment block projecting plug contact parts 24 are inserted into the corresponding openings of the insulating body until the shoulder 22 comes to rest on the insulating body.
  • the brackets are then screwed to the segment block.
  • the segment block is screwed directly to the insulating body 25 by means of the holding bracket 28, and that the attachment of this device to a mounting surface via the fastening device 10 - and so on described above for the terminal strip - done.
  • connection of the contact parts 5 to the plug contact parts 24 takes place via current rails 23, the parts being firmly connected.
  • This connection is made by welding, soldering or crimping. Due to the different distances between the contact parts and the associated plug-in contact parts, busbars of different lengths must be used. In order not to have to produce a large number of different parts for the connections and to have to keep them in stock, it can be provided that flexible strands are used for the connection instead of the busbars. Then only a maximum required strand length is provided. For this purpose, the insulating segments are then provided with correspondingly large cavities 31, in which the excess length of stranded wire can be accommodated at the shorter connection distances (see right contact parts).
