Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anschlußklemme mit an einer Grund­platte sitzenden Kontaktsteckern in Form von gefalteten an der Grund­platte sizenden Blechstreifen und mit einem Durchgang der Grundplatte zur Festhaltung der Anschlußklemme auf einem Zapfen.The invention relates to a connecting terminal with contact plugs seated on a base plate in the form of folded sheet metal strips sizing on the base plate and with a passage of the base plate for holding the connecting terminal on a pin.

Eine Anschlußklemme dieser Art ist aus einem Blechstreifen ausge­stanzt und gebogen. Die Kontaktstecker sind als gefaltete Blechstrei­fen ausgebildet und sind der jeweils gewünschten Steckerdicke ange­paßt. Die Grundplatte greift mit einem Durchgang über einen Zapfen des Gehäuses oder einen sonstigen Aufnahmeteil. Die Festhaltung er­folgt mit einer Schraubverbindung, einer Federklammer, einer Feder­scheibe oder dgl..A terminal of this type is punched out of a sheet metal strip and bent. The contact plugs are designed as folded sheet metal strips and are adapted to the plug thickness desired in each case. The base plate engages with a passage over a pin of the housing or another receiving part. It is held in place with a screw connection, a spring clip, a spring washer or the like.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist eine solche Ausbildung der Anschluß­klemme, daß dieselbe selbsthaltend auf einen Zapfen aufgespannt wer­den kann.The object of the invention is such a design of the connection terminal that the same can be clamped on a spigot.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die An­schlußklemme aus einem Federwerkstoff besteht, daß die Grundplatte zwei in den Durchgang hineinragende Federsegmente aufweist und daß zwei weitere Federsegmente von den Außenstreifen der Kontaktstecker in den Durchgang hineinragen.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the terminal consists of a spring material, that the base plate has two spring segments protruding into the passage and that two further spring segments protrude from the outer strips of the contact plug into the passage.

Die Erfindung unterscheidet sich insofern vom Stand der Technik, als die Festhaltung durch einstückig an dem Blechzuschnitt ausgebilde­te Federsegmente erfolgt. Die Federsegmente können weitgehend unabhän­gig voneinander federn und klemmen, weil sie jeweils paarweise einan­der gegenüberstehend an der Grundplatte und an den Kontaktsteckern sitzen. Die Anschlußklemme kann unmittelbar auf einen Gehäusezapfen aus Kunststoff oder Metall oder auf einen Steckerstift aufgeklemmt werden.The invention differs from the prior art in that it is held in place by spring segments formed in one piece on the sheet metal blank. The spring segments can largely spring and clamp independently of one another, because they sit in pairs opposite each other on the base plate and on the contact plugs. The connection terminal can be clamped directly onto a plastic or metal housing pin or onto a plug pin.

Eine besonders gute Formung und Funktion der Federsegmente er­zielt man dadurch, daß der Außenabschnitt jedes Kontaktsteckers um 90° in Abbiegung zu dem jeweiligen Federsegment umgebogen ist und daß die beiden Federsegmente aufeinander zuweisend in den Durchgang hin­einragen.A particularly good shape and function of the spring segments is achieved in that the outer section of each contact plug is bent through 90 ° to the respective spring segment and that the two spring segments project into the passage facing one another.

Die Funktion der Federsegmente ist dadurch besonders gleichmä­ßig, daß die Federsegmente jeweils Viertelkreissegmente sind und daß die beiden Federsegmente der Grundplatte gegenüber den Federsegmenten der Außenabschnitte um 90° versetzt sind, so daß die Federsegmente in Umfangsrichtung den Durchgang im wesentlichen vollständig ausfüllen.The function of the spring segments is particularly uniform in that the spring segments are each quarter circle segments and that the two spring segments of the base plate are offset by 90 ° with respect to the spring segments of the outer sections, so that the spring segments essentially completely fill the passage in the circumferential direction.

Eine gegenseitige Behinderung der Federsegmente wird dadurch aus­geschlossen, daß jeweils zwischen benachbarten Federsegmenten ein Schlitz frei bleibt.Mutual hindrance of the spring segments is precluded by the fact that a slot remains free between adjacent spring segments.

Zur sicheren Festklemmung sieht die Erfindung vor, daß die Stirn­kanten der Federsegmente Auskehlungen aufweisen, deren Profil dem Um­fang des Zapfens angepaßt ist. Die Auskehlungen können für einen Zap­fen mit kreisförmigem Profil bogenförmig ausgebildet sein. Für einen Zapfen mit rechtkantigem oder quadratischem Profil können die Auskeh­lungen ein winkelförmiges Profil aufweisen.For secure clamping, the invention provides that the end edges of the spring segments have fillets, the profile of which is adapted to the circumference of the pin. The grooves can be arcuate for a pin with a circular profile. For a spigot with a rectangular or square profile, the grooves can have an angular profile.

Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird im Folgenden unter Bezug­nahme auf die anliegende Zeichnung erläutert, in der darstellen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf eine Anschlußklemme,
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt nach der Linie II-II in Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 3 einen Schnitt nach der Linie III-III in Fig. 1 durch einen Kontaktstecker und
  • Fig. 4 eine Darstellung des ebenen Blechzuschnittes.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
  • 1 is a plan view of a terminal,
  • 2 shows a section along the line II-II in FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 3 shows a section along the line III-III in Fig. 1 by a contact plug and
  • Fig. 4 is an illustration of the flat sheet metal blank.

Der Blechzuschnitt bildet eine Grundplatte 1 mit einem etwa kreisförmigen Durchgang 2, an dessen gegenüberliegenden Umfangsberei­chen viertelkreisförmige Federsegmente 11 sitzen. An gegenüberliegen­den Seiten der Grundplatte sitzen Blechstreifen 3 zur Bildung von Kon­taktsteckern 4. Die Blechstreifen 3 enden in dreieckförmige Federseg­mente 5 mit je einer Auskehlung 12 mit bogenförmigem oder winkelförmi­gem Profil. Der gesamte Blechzuschnitt besteht aus Walzbronze.The sheet metal blank forms a base plate 1 with an approximately circular passage 2, on the opposite circumferential areas of which quarter-circular spring segments 11 are seated. Sheet metal strips 3 sit on opposite sides of the base plate to form contact plugs 4. The sheet metal strips 3 end in triangular spring segments 5, each with a groove 12 with an arcuate or angular profile. The entire sheet metal blank consists of rolled bronze.

Jeder Blechstreifen 3 umfaßt einen Innenabschnitt 6 mit Längs­sicken 17 sowie einen Außenabschnitt 7. In Fig. 4 sind die jeweiligen Faltlinien 8, 9, 10 eingezeichnet. Jeder Blechstreifen 3 wird um die Faltlinie 9 um 180° umgefaltet. Die Längssicken legen die Dicke des Kontaktsteckers fest. Um die Faltlinien 8 und 10 erfolgt jeweils eine Faltung um 90°. Man erhält bei entsprechender Durchführung dieser Faltungen die Anschlußklemme nach den Fig. 1 und 2.Each sheet metal strip 3 comprises an inner section 6 with longitudinal beads 17 and an outer section 7. The respective fold lines 8, 9, 10 are shown in FIG. 4. Each sheet metal strip 3 is folded over the folding line 9 by 180 °. The longitudinal beads determine the thickness of the contact plug. Around the fold lines 8 and 10 there is a fold of 90 °. This is obtained if this is carried out accordingly Folds the connector according to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Der Durchgang 2 hat einen vergleichsweise großen Durchmesser in­nerhalb der Grundplatte 1. Einander gegenüberstehend sitzen an dem In­nenrand des Durchganges zwei Federsegmente 11 etwa in Form eines Vier­telkreissegmentes. Die Federsegmente 11 stehen einander quer zur Längsrichtung der Blechstreifen 3 gegenüber und haben an ihren Stirn­enden bogenförmige Auskehlungen 12. Die Federsegmente 5 an den Enden der Blechstreifen 3 sind entsprechend ausgebildet. Nach Durchführung der genannten Faltungen stehen die Federsegmente 5 gemäß Fig. 1 ein­ander gegenüber und ragen viertelkreisförmig in den Durchgang 2 hin­ein. Die Federsegmente 5 sind innerhalb des Durchganges 2 gegenüber den Federsegmenten 11 um 90° versetzt, so daß die Federsegmente 5 und 11 den Umfang des Durchganges im wesentlichen vollständig ausfüllen. Jeweils zwischen benachbarten Federsegmenten 5 und 11 bleiben Schlit­ze 13 frei, die eine unabhängige Verstellung und Einstellung der Fe­dersegmente 5 und 11 ermöglichen.The passage 2 has a comparatively large diameter within the base plate 1. Two spring segments 11, approximately in the form of a quarter circle segment, sit opposite one another on the inner edge of the passage. The spring segments 11 face each other transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sheet metal strips 3 and have arc-shaped grooves 12 at their ends. The spring segments 5 at the ends of the sheet metal strips 3 are designed accordingly. After carrying out the folds mentioned, the spring segments 5 according to FIG. 1 face each other and protrude into the passage 2 in a quarter circle. The spring segments 5 are offset within the passage 2 with respect to the spring segments 11 by 90 °, so that the spring segments 5 and 11 essentially completely fill the circumference of the passage. Between each of the adjacent spring segments 5 and 11, slots 13 remain free, which enable the spring segments 5 and 11 to be adjusted and adjusted independently.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen Gehäuseteil 14 mit einem Zapfen 15 und gege­benenfalls mit Aufnahmelementen 16 zur Ausrichtung der Anschlußklem­me. Die Anschlußklemme ist nach Fig. 2 auf den Zapfen 16 aufgedrückt, wobei sich die Federsegmente 5 und 11 im Umfang des Zapfens 15 ein­krallen und so die Anschlußklemme federnd und sicher festhalten. Vor­teilhaft ist hier die Anwendung von vier Federsegmenten. Die Federseg­mente 5 an den Enden der Blechstreifen 3 bieten eine zusätzliche Nach­giebigkeit und eine hohe Haltekraft für die Verbindung. Die Anschluß­klemme ist somit selbsthaltend ausgebildet. Es sind keine zusätzli­chen und gesonderten Befestigungselemente erforderlich.Fig. 2 shows a housing part 14 with a pin 15 and optionally with receiving elements 16 for aligning the terminal. 2 is pressed onto the pin 16, the spring segments 5 and 11 clawing in the circumference of the pin 15 and thus holding the connector resiliently and securely. The use of four spring segments is advantageous here. The spring segments 5 at the ends of the metal strips 3 offer additional flexibility and a high holding force for the connection. The terminal is thus designed to be self-retaining. No additional and separate fasteners are required.

Es ist ein Zapfen mit Kreisquerschnitt dargestellt. In diesem Fall haben die Auskehlungen ein bogenförmiges, vorzugsweise kreisab­schnittförmiges Profil. Für einen rechtkantigen oder quadratischen Zapfen haben die Auskehlungen ein winkelförmiges Profil.A pin with a circular cross section is shown. In this case, the grooves have an arcuate, preferably circular section profile. For a right-angled or square spigot, the grooves have an angular profile.
