Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dosen-Stecker-Kombination zum Anschluß elektrischer Lampen und Geräte mit einer bajonettartigen Verbindung zwischen Stecker und Dose, bogenförmig gekrümmten Messerkontakten und einem zentrisch, ebenfalls axial gerichteten Mittelkontakt als Nulleiter und einer Dose mit elektrischen Kontakten, die in ihrer Anordnung und Form den Kontakten des Steckers entsprechen.The invention relates to a socket-plug combination for connecting electrical lamps and devices with a bayonet-like connection between the plug and socket, curved curved knife contacts and a central, also axially directed center contact as a neutral conductor and a socket with electrical contacts, in their arrangement and shape correspond to the contacts of the plug.
Aus der DE-A-32 35 965 ist ein Sicherheits-Schnellanschluß für elektrische Lampen und Elektrogeräte bekannt, der aus einem Stecker und einer Dose besteht und wobei die Dose eine zentrische, mehr oder weniger zylindrische Ausnehmung aufweist, in der die elektrischen Kontakte offenliegen und in die ein Stecker entsprechenden Querschnittes einsteckbar ist, der auf seiner Mantelfläche elektrische Kontakte in Form von Metallstreifen trägt. Im Zentrum beider Teile ist der Erdleiter oder Nulleiter angeordnet. Die Arretierung des Steckers mit der Dose erfolgt über eine sogenannte Bajonettverbindung.From DE-A-32 35 965 a quick safety connection for electric lamps and electrical appliances is known, which consists of a plug and a socket and the socket has a central, more or less cylindrical recess in which the electrical contacts are exposed and into which a plug with a corresponding cross-section can be inserted, which carries electrical contacts in the form of metal strips on its outer surface. The earth conductor or neutral conductor is arranged in the center of both parts. The plug is locked with the socket via a so-called bayonet connection.
Diese Ausgestaltung hat jedoch den gravierenden Nachteil, daß in der zentrischen Ausnehmung der Dose die stromführenden Kontakte freiliegen, so daß versehentliches Hineingreifen mit einem Finger, zu einem elektrischen Schlag und damit zu Verletzungen oder Verbrennungen führen kann und so ein Gerät also bei abgenommenem Stecker für Menschen, insbesondere spielende Kinder, eine große Gefahr darstellt.However, this configuration has the serious disadvantage that the live contacts are exposed in the central recess of the socket, so that accidental reaching in with a finger, an electric shock and thus can lead to injuries or burns and thus a device with the plug removed for people , especially playing children, is a great danger.
Ein weiterer Nachteil ist der, daß die Verbindung der elektrischen Leitung mit der Dose bzw. den an der Dose angeordneten Kontakten nur schwierig möglich ist, weil die Anschlußstellen außerhalb und unterhalb der Dose angeordnet sind. Sie sind deshalb, beispielsweise bei abgenommener Schutzkappe oder bei beschädigter Schutzkappe, ebenfalls ungesichert und können beschädigt werden, insbesondere kann die Isolierung beschädigt sein, so daß auch hier, beispielsweise beim Staubwischen, die Gefahr von Verletzungen oder Verbrennungen besteht.Another disadvantage is that it is difficult to connect the electrical line to the socket or to the contacts arranged on the socket, because the connection points are arranged outside and below the socket. They are therefore unsecured, for example when the protective cap is removed or the protective cap is damaged, and can be damaged, in particular the insulation can be damaged, so that here too, for example when dusting, there is a risk of injury or burns.
Aus der US-A-3 500 056 ist ein Leitungssystem für verschiedene Spannungen bekannt, das für jede Spannung eine besondere Dosen-Stecker-Kombination vorsieht, um Verwechselungen der Stromarten bzw. Spannungen zu vermeiden. Es soll verhütet werden, daß man einen Verbraucher für 120 Volt in eine Steckdose für 208 Volt oder eine höhere Spannung steckt und dadurch Zerstörungen herbeiführt. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wird vorgeschlagen, die Stecker mit zwei, drei oder mehr im Kreis, Dreieck oder im Rechteck angeordneten, messerartigen, geraden, gekrümmten oder hakenförmigen Kontakten zu versehen, die in entsprechend geformten Dosen einsteckbar sind.From US-A-3 500 056 a line system for different voltages is known which provides a special socket-plug combination for each voltage in order to avoid confusion of the current types or voltages. It should be prevented that a consumer for 120 volts is plugged into a socket for 208 volts or a higher voltage and thereby causes destruction. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to provide the plug with two, three or more in a circle, triangle or rectangle, knife-like, straight, curved or hook-shaped contacts, which can be inserted in appropriately shaped boxes.
Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Dosen-Stecker-Kombination zu schaffen, die sicher ist, nicht zu Verletzungen durch Stromschläge führen kann, die eine kompakte Ausgestaltung aufweist und in der alle stromführenden oder stromübernehmenden Teile hinsichtlich ihrer Leitungs- oder Kabelanschlüsse geschützt im Gehäuse der Kombination untergebracht sind.In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide a socket-plug combination that is safe, can not lead to injuries from electric shocks, which has a compact design and in which all live or current-carrying parts with regard to their line or cable connections are protected in the housing of the combination.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe nun bei einer Ausgestaltung der eingangs beschriebenen Kombination dadurch, daß eine drehbare Scheibe mit kreisbogenförmigen Schlitzen vorgesehen ist, die auf einem hülsenförmigen Nulleiter gelagert ist und die Dose von einem hülsenförmigen Gehäuse gebildet ist, das nutenförmige Ausnehmungen trägt, die Nocken des Steckers aufnehmen.This object is now achieved in an embodiment of the combination described at the outset in that a rotatable disk with circular-arc-shaped slots is provided, which is mounted on a sleeve-shaped neutral conductor and the socket is formed by a sleeve-shaped housing which carries groove-shaped recesses, the cams of the plug record, tape.
Weitere Merkmale sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further features are characterized in the subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Kombination ist für alle Arten von Stromverbrauchern geeignet, sowohl als Anschluß für Decken- als auch Wandlampen, für herkömmliche Steckdosenverbindungen, für Verbraucher wie Stehlampen, Bügeleisen und dgl., und sie kann wegen der Ausgestaltung der Dose vorteilhaft auch als Unterputzanschlußdose verwendet werden, die im Nichtbedarfsfall durch eine Kappe oder einen Deckel verschließbar ist.The combination according to the invention is suitable for all types of electricity consumers, both as a connection for ceiling and wall lamps, for conventional socket connections, for consumers such as floor lamps, irons and the like, and it can because of the design of the box can also be used advantageously as a flush-mounted junction box, which can be closed by a cap or a cover when not in use.
Erreicht wird das dadurch, daß die Dose einen Körper umfaßt, in welchem zentrisch eine Hülse befestigt ist, die sowohl den Nulleiter bildet als auch eine axialbewegliche federbelastete Scheibe lagert mit im Abstand zueinander auf einem Kreis angeordneten kreisbogenförmigen Schlitzen, welche den stromführenden Kontakten in dem Körper entsprechen, der von einem hülsenförmigen Gehäuse umgeben und gehalten ist und nutenförmige Ausnehmungen auf der Innenseite trägt, die entsprechende Nocken des Steckers zur phasengerechten elektrischen Verbindung aufnehmen.This is achieved in that the box comprises a body in which a sleeve is centrally attached, which forms both the neutral conductor and an axially movable spring-loaded washer with circular arc-shaped slots spaced apart from one another, which the current-carrying contacts in the body correspond, which is surrounded and held by a sleeve-shaped housing and carries groove-shaped recesses on the inside, which receive the corresponding cams of the plug for the phase-correct electrical connection.
Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further features of the invention are characterized in the claims.
Die Schlitze auf dem Kreis der axialbeweglichen federbelasteten Scheibe sind vorzugsweise entsprechend dem Radius des Kreises gekrümmt und fluchten mit entsprechend gekrümmten U-förmigen elektrischen Metallkontakten, in die entsprechend gekrümmte messerförmige Kontakte des Steckers nach Durchtritt durch die Schlitze der Scheibe beim Verdrehen des Steckers eingreifen.The slots on the circle of the axially movable spring-loaded washer are preferably curved in accordance with the radius of the circle and are aligned with correspondingly curved U-shaped electrical metal contacts, into which correspondingly curved knife-shaped contacts of the connector engage after passing through the slots of the washer when the connector is rotated.
Die Ausgestaltung ist dabei so getroffen, daß koaxial zur Hülse des die elektrischen Kontakte tragenden Körpers am Stecker ein zentrischer Stift gebildet ist für den Nulleiter, der zunächst in die Hülse eintritt und einen Kontakt herstellt und erst bei weiterem Einschieben und Drehen des Steckers die eigentlichen elektrischen Kontakte wirksam werden.The design is such that a central pin is formed coaxially to the sleeve of the body carrying the electrical contacts on the plug for the neutral conductor, which first enters the sleeve and makes a contact and only when the plug is inserted and turned further does the actual electrical Contacts take effect.
Durch Verdrehen des Steckers treten dann die messerförmigen kreisbogenförmig gekrümmten Messerkontakte in die enstsprechenden elektrischen U-förmigen Kontakte der Dose ein, wobei gleichzeitig die Ansätze des Steckers in den entsprechenden nutenförmigen Ausnehmungen des Dosengehäuses dann in eine Arretierungsstellung gelangen, wenn ein vollständiger elektrischer Kontakt hergestellt ist.By turning the plug, the knife-shaped circular arc-shaped knife contacts then enter the corresponding electrical U-shaped contacts of the socket, the lugs of the plug in the corresponding groove-shaped recesses of the socket housing then coming into a locking position when a complete electrical contact is made.
Aufgrund der Federbelastung der Scheibe wird der Stecker schließlich mit seinen Ansätzen in entsprechende seitlich zur Nut gelegene Vertiefungen des Dosengehäuses gedrückt, so daß auf diese Weise ein Bajonettverschluß entsteht, der ein Herausziehen des Steckers verhindert. Das Herausziehen des Steckers ist nur möglich, wenn der Stecker in die Dose hineingedrückt und dabei gleichzeitig wieder um einen bestimmten Winkelbetrag, der 30 oder 40° betragen kann, verdreht wird.Due to the spring loading of the disc, the connector is finally pressed with its approaches into corresponding recesses in the socket housing located laterally to the groove, so that a bayonet lock is formed in this way, which prevents the connector from being pulled out. The plug can only be pulled out if the plug is pressed into the socket and at the same time rotated again by a certain angle, which can be 30 or 40 °.
Der Körper mit den elektrischen Anschlüssen ist ebenfalls im wesentlichen kreisförmig ausgebildet und stellt eine Platte dar, auf der die elektrischen Anschlüsse befestigt sind. Er wird unter Zuhilfenahme von Schrauben zusammen mit dem den Körper umgebenden Gehäuse befestigt, beispielsweise an einer Zimmerdecke, aber auch an einer Zimmerwand, falls erforderlich.The body with the electrical connections is also essentially circular and represents a plate on which the electrical connections are fastened. It is fastened with the help of screws together with the housing surrounding the body, for example on a ceiling, but also on a room wall, if necessary.
Durch die Anordnung unterschiedlich breiter, aber, falls erforderlich, auch dicker Ansätze am Stecker ist ein Verwechseln der Phasen unmöglich gemacht, so daß die Erfindung auch für Gleich- oder Drehstrom, für Serienschaltungen usw. geeignet ist.The arrangement of different widths, but, if necessary, also thick approaches on the connector makes it impossible to mix up the phases, so that the invention is also suitable for direct or three-phase current, for series connections, etc.
Die Arretierungsstellung bzw. die Stellung, in der der Stecker aus der Dose entnommen werden kann, ist durch Markierungen am Stecker und an der Steckerdose gekennzeichnet.The locking position or the position in which the plug can be removed from the socket is identified by markings on the plug and on the socket.
Der Stecker selbst besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei Teilen, und zwar aus einem dem Innendurchmesser des Gehäuses der Dose entsprechenden becherförmigen runden Teil, in dessen Innenraum die elektrischen Klemmkontakte befestigt sind. Von diesen gehen die messerförmigen Kontakte aus, die durch den Boden des becherförmigen Teiles hindurchragen. Auf dem äußeren Umfang des Bechers sind die rechteckigen, mehr oder weniger in Umfangsrichtung breiten oder dicken Ansätze gebildet, die die Arretierung und die korrekte Phasenverbindung, wie oben beschrieben, gewährleisten.The plug itself consists essentially of two parts, namely a cup-shaped round part corresponding to the inner diameter of the housing of the socket, in the interior of which the electrical clamping contacts are fastened. The knife-shaped contacts, which protrude through the bottom of the cup-shaped part, originate from these. The rectangular, more or less circumferentially wide or thick lugs are formed on the outer circumference of the cup, which ensure the locking and the correct phase connection, as described above.
Abgedeckt wird dieses becherförmige Teil durch einen Deckel mit einer Bohrung für die Durchführung des Kabels,an der oder in der eine Klemmvorrichtung enthalten sein kann zur Zugentlastung des Kabels sowie eine Aufhängevorrichtung, beispielsweise in Form eines Bügels oder eines Gelenks für eine Lampe. Die Verbindung des Deckels mit dem becherförmigen Teil erfolgt durch Schrauben.This cup-shaped part is covered by a cover with a hole for the passage of the cable, on or in which a clamping device can be included to relieve the strain on the cable and a suspension device, for example in the form of a bracket or a joint for a lamp. The lid is connected to the cup-shaped part by screws.
Falls gewünscht, kann die ganze Kombination mit Dichtungen in Form von O-Ringen oder dichten Scheiben ausgestattet sein, so daß sie auch in Feuchträumen verwendbar ist.If desired, the whole combination can be equipped with seals in the form of O-rings or sealed washers, so that it can also be used in damp rooms.
Die Erfindung wird nun anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels, welches in der Zeichnung dargestellt ist, näher erläutert.The invention will now be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment which is illustrated in the drawing.

Aus Fig. 2 ist ersichtlich, daß in der Scheibe 12 vier gekrümmte Schlitze 23 angeordnet sind, deren Krümmung dem Kreisradius entspricht, auf dem diese Schlitze bzw. die Messerkontakte 19 liegen. Gestrichelt in Fig. 2 sind die elektrischen Kontakte 24, die mit den Klemmverbindungen 8 und 9 in Verbindung stehen und in die die Messerkontakte 19 eingreifen. Der Stecker trägt mittig einen Stift 25, der in die Hülse 11 eingreift und der mit dem Nulleiter verbunden ist.From Fig. 2 it can be seen that in the
In Fig. 4 ist die Stecherdose gemäß Fig. 3 an einer Zimmerdecke 1 befestigt und durch eine Kappe 26 bei Nichtgebrauch abgedeckt. Die Kappe 26 wird durch einen Rastverschluß 27 gehalten, der aus einer kreisringförmigen oder punktförmigen Erhebung auf der Innenseite besteht, die in eine entsprechende Ausnehmung 28 eingreift (Fig. 3).In Fig. 4 the socket according to Fig. 3 is attached to a ceiling 1 and covered by a
Fig. 5 zeigt die Anordnung der Steckerdose gemäß Fig. 3 in einer Decke oder in einer Materialschicht 29 unter Verwendung einer Einbaudose 30 mit zapfenförmigen oder rohrförmigen Ansätzen 31, in die die Befestigungsschrauben 5' eingreifen. Diese Unterputzausgestaltung ist im Falle der Nichtbenutzung durch einen Deckel in herkömmlicher Weise abdeckbar oder verschließbar. Das Bezugszeichen 32 stellt den Kabelzuführungskanal dar.FIG. 5 shows the arrangement of the socket according to FIG. 3 in a ceiling or in a material layer 29 using an installation box 30 with peg-shaped or tubular projections 31, into which the fastening screws 5 ′ engage. This flush-mounted design can be covered or closed in a conventional manner in the case of non-use by a cover. The
Unter Berücksichtigung der Zeichnungen funktioniert die Stecker-Dosenkombination wie folgt.Taking the drawings into account, the plug-socket combination works as follows.
Die Dose, die vereinfacht und in jeweils anderer Ansicht in Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellt ist, ist vermittels der Schrauben 5' beispielsweise an eine Zimmerdecke geschraubt. Die elektrischen Leitungen treten irgendwo innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 heraus und wegen des Abstandes zwischen der Decke 1 und dem Körper 3 zufolge der Anordnun der Ansätze 6 können diese bequem nach der Befestigung an den Klemmkontakten 8 und 9 innerhalb des Gehäuses 2 untergebracht werden. Die Dose ist jetzt bereit zur Aufnahme des Steckers.The box, which is simplified and shown in a different view in FIGS. 2 and 3, is screwed to a ceiling, for example, by means of the screws 5 '. The electrical lines emerge somewhere within the
Von der zentrischen Hülse 11 ist die Scheibe 12 axialbeweglich und federbelastet gelagert. Sie enthält lediglich kreisbogenförmig gekrümmte Schlitze, wie oben beschrieben, in einer Anzahl, die der Anzahl der vorgesehenen Kontakte entspricht. Die Scheibe kann sich auf dieser Hülse über einen Winkel von 30° drehen (siche Fig. 2). Eine Gefährdung durch unbeabsichtigtes Berühren der stromführenden Kontakte ist so verhindert. Der Stecker besteht aus einem becherförmigen Steckergehäuse 16, ebenfalls kreisförmiger Gestalt und im Durchmesser etwas kleiner als der Innendurchmesser des Dosengehäuses 2.From the
In dem Boden 33 des Steckergehäuses 16 sind fluchtend mit den Kontakten 24 der Dose die messerförmigen, leicht gekrümmten Kontakte 19 befestigt, wobei die Klemmverbindungen 19' im Innern des becherförmigen Gehäuses liegen, das durch den Deckel 20 abgedeckt ist und der vermittels der Schrauben 21 gehalten ist.In the bottom 33 of the
Bei der Herstellung der Steckerverbindung trifft zunächst der Stift 25, an den der Nulleiter angeschlossen ist, in das offene Ende der Hülse 11 ein. Bei weiterem Hineindrücken des Steckers nimmt die äußere Fläche des becherförmigen Steckergehäuses 16 die nur über einen begrenzten Winkelbereich drehbare Scheibe 12 mit, so daß schließlich die messerförmigen Kontakte 19 durch die Schlitze 23 der Scheibe hindurch in die elektrischen Kontakte 24 eintreten, wenn der Stecker um den begrenzten Winkelbetrag gedreht wird, wobei die Scheibe mitgenommen wird und die Ansätze 17 des Steckergehäuses 16 in die seitliche Ausnehmung eintreten und bei Loslassen des Steckers sich hinter entsprechende Abstufungen im Gehäuse 2 legen, was zufolge der Ausdehnung der Feder 13 geschieht, so daß ein Bajonettverschluß zustandekommt.When the plug connection is made, the
An dem Deckel 20 mit der Kabeldurchführung können entsprechende, auf Zug belastbare Aufhängevorrichtungen, Gelenke oder dgl. angeordnet sein, an denen beispielsweise eine Deckenlampe mit Pendel aufhängbar ist. Die mehr oder weniger zylindrische Gestalt der erfindungsgemäßen Kombination kann mit einer an der Lampe bzw. dessen Pendel befestigten dekorativ gestalteten becherförmigen Abdeckung überdeckt werden, wie das heute auch der Fall ist bei normalen Anschlüssen vermittels Lüsterklemmen und Drahtenden.Corresponding suspension devices, joints or the like which can withstand tensile loads can be arranged on the
