Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Herstellung einer Abzweigung von einer einzelnen isolierten Ader eines Mehrleiterkabels, wobei je ein erstes und ein zweites Klemmelement mittels einer Schraubenanordnung gegeneinander in Klemmkontakt bringbar sind.The present invention relates to a device for producing a branch from a single insulated wire of a multi-conductor cable, a first and a second clamping element being able to be brought into clamping contact with one another by means of a screw arrangement.

Es sind verschiedene Arten von Einrichtungen zur Abzweigung einer Ader eines Mehrleiterkabels bekannt, wobei die meisten Ausführungen in der Art eines Klemmringes Verwendung finden.Various types of devices for branching a wire of a multi-conductor cable are known, most of the designs being used in the manner of a clamping ring.

Aus der DE-OS 2143219 ist eine Abzweigklemme bekannt, welche aus lösbar miteinander verbindbaren Segmenten besteht, wobei zwischen den einzelnen Segmenten Distanzstücke vorgesehen sind.From DE-OS 2143219 a branch terminal is known, which consists of detachably connectable segments, spacers being provided between the individual segments.

Eine solche bekannte Ausführung bedingt eine Vielzahl von Einzelteilen wie Segmente, Abstandhalter etc., was die Montage erschwert und auch Ursache von Fehlerquellen sein kann.Such a known design requires a large number of individual parts such as segments, spacers, etc., which complicates the assembly and can also be the cause of sources of error.

Eine Einrichtung zur Herstellung einer Abzweigung von einer einzelnen isolierten Ader eines Mehrleiterkabels gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist vom Dokument DE-A-2 903 960 bekannt.A device for producing a branch from a single insulated wire of a multi-conductor cable according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from document DE-A-2 903 960.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Einrichtung zur Abzweigung einer einzelnen isolierten Ader eines Mehrleiterkabels zu schaffen, die in einfachster Weise mit einer Mindestzahl von Einzelteilen ohne grossen Zeitaufwand montierbar ist.The present invention has for its object to provide a device for branching a single insulated wire of a multi-conductor cable, which can be assembled in a very simple manner with a minimum number of individual parts without much time.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Durch die erfindungsgemässen Merkmale wird ein einfacher Klemmkontakt der Hauptader mittels einer Schraube bei einfacher Montage erreicht. Der Abstand zwischen der Kippauflage und den Ausnehmungen für die Hauptader gewährleistet hohe Klemmkräfte.The features according to the invention result in a simple clamping contact of the main wire by means of a screw with simple assembly. The distance between the tilting support and the recesses for the main wire ensures high clamping forces.

Besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen gehen aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen hervor.Particularly advantageous configurations emerge from the dependent claims.

Eine in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigte Einrichtung zur Abzweigung einer einzelnen isolierten Ader eines Mehrleiterkabels weist ein erstes 1 und ein zweites 2 Klemmelement auf. Diese zwei Klemmelemente sind mittels einer Schraubenanordnung 3 gegeneinander drückbar, so dass zwischen den einzelnen Elementen 1 und 2 ein Klemmkontakt entsteht. Das erste Klemmelement 1 weist einen Vorsprung 5 auf, durch den eine Bohrung 4 verläuft. Diese Bohrung ist zur Aufnahme eines Abzweigleiters bestimmt. Von der Bohrung 4 beabstandet ist eine Ausnehmung 7 im ersten Klemmelement 1 vorgesehen. Diese Ausnehmung ist dazu bestimmt, die Hauptader zu umspannen.A device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 for branching a single insulated wire of a multi-conductor cable has a first 1 and a second 2 clamping element. These two clamping elements can be pressed against one another by means of a screw arrangement 3, so that a clamping contact arises between the individual elements 1 and 2. The first clamping element 1 has a projection 5 through which a bore 4 runs. This hole is intended to accommodate a branch conductor. At a distance from the bore 4, a recess 7 is provided in the first clamping element 1. This recess is designed to span the main vein.

Das zweite Klemmelement 2 weist je eine Ausnehmung 15 und 9 auf, wobei die teilkreisförmige Ausnehmung 15 den Auflageteil 8 für das Klemmelement 1 bildet. Der Radius der Ausnehmung 15 entspricht in etwa dem Radius des Vorsprunges 5, so dass bei hergestelltem Klemmkontakt der Vorsprung 5 von der Ausnehmung 15 entlang eines weiten Bereiches seines Umfanges umspannt wird. Der Vosprung 5 ist um die Bohrachse 6 in der Ausnehmung 15 drehbar, wobei die Ausnehmung 15 eine Kippauflage 16 bildet. Diese Anordnung bietet bei herzustellendem Klemmkontakt auch Gewähr für die notwendige Verdrehsicherung.The second clamping element 2 each has a recess 15 and 9, the part-circular recess 15 forming the support part 8 for the clamping element 1. The radius of the recess 15 corresponds approximately to the radius of the projection 5, so that when the clamping contact is produced, the projection 5 is spanned by the recess 15 along a wide area of its circumference. The projection 5 can be rotated about the drilling axis 6 in the recess 15, the recess 15 forming a tilting support 16. In the case of a clamp contact to be produced, this arrangement also guarantees the necessary anti-rotation protection.

Die Ausnehmungen 9 und 7, die dem Umfang der Hauptader angepasst sind, weisen Ringschneiden 11 auf. Diese Ringschneiden sind dazu bestimmt, das Isolationsmaterial zu durchdringen und so nach erfolgter Montage den Stromfluss herzustellen. Zwischen den einzelnen Ringschneiden sind Hohlräume 12 vorgesehen, die das durch die Ringschneiden 11 verdrängte Isolationsmaterial aufnehmen können. Dadurch wird ein einwandfreier Kontakt gewährleistet.The recesses 9 and 7, which are adapted to the circumference of the main core, have ring edges 11. These ring cutters are intended to penetrate the insulation material and thus produce the current flow after installation. Cavities 12 are provided between the individual ring cutting edges and can accommodate the insulation material displaced by the ring cutting edges 11. This ensures perfect contact.

Die Klemmelemente sind wie üblich mit einer isolierenden Oberflächenbeschichtung versehen.As usual, the clamping elements are provided with an insulating surface coating.

Durch die versenkten Klemmschrauben 3a ist die vorgeschlagene Klemme sehr platzsparend. Auch die Montage gestaltet sich entsprechend einfach:The recessed clamping screws 3a make the proposed clamp very space-saving. The assembly is also correspondingly simple:

Zunächst wird durch die Bohrung 4 ein vorbereiteter Abzweigleiter geführt und mittels einer Schraube 13 festgeklemmt. Das Klemmelement mit seinen Ausnehmungen 7 und 9 wird sodann auf die Hauptader geschoben. Die Schraube 3a wird angezogen, so dass die Klemmelemente 1 und 2 in Klemmkontakt gebracht werden. Während der Herstellung dieses Klemmkontaktes durch Anziehen der Schraubenanordnung 3 dringen die Ringschneiden 11 in das Isoliermaterial der Hauptader ein und verdrängen dieses in die Hohlräume 12. Sobald die Ringschneiden 11 das Isoliermaterial durchdrungen haben, ist der Klemmkontakt hergestellt.First, a prepared branch conductor is guided through the bore 4 and clamped by means of a screw 13. The clamping element with its recesses 7 and 9 is then pushed onto the main wire. The screw 3a is tightened so that the clamping elements 1 and 2 are brought into clamping contact. During the production of this clamping contact by tightening the screw arrangement 3, the annular cutting edges 11 penetrate into the insulating material of the main wire and displace it into the cavities 12. As soon as the annular cutting edges 11 have penetrated the insulating material, the clamping contact is produced.

Die Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ausführungsvariante der Einrichtung gemäß der Erfindung. Hierbei ist der Vorsprung 5 des Klemmelementes 1 nasenförmig ausgebildet.3 shows an embodiment variant of the device according to the invention. Here, the projection 5 of the clamping element 1 is nose-shaped.

Das Auflageteil 8 des Klemmelementes 2 weist eine ebene Auflagefläche 10 auf, wobei durch die abgerundete Nase eine linienförmige Auflage des Klemmelementes 1 auf dem Klemmteil 2 entsteht, um welche beim Zusammenspannen mittels der Schraubenanordnung 3 das Klemmelement 2 um die Kippauflage 16 schwenkbar ist.The support part 8 of the clamping element 2 has a flat support surface 10, whereby the rounded nose creates a linear support of the clamping element 1 on the clamping part 2, about which the clamping element 2 can be pivoted about the tilting support 16 when tightened by means of the screw arrangement 3.

Für die Schraube 13 zur Klemmung des Abzweigleiters in der Bohrung 4 weist das Klemmelement 1 ein Auge 14 auf. Beidseits des Auges 14 ist je eine Auflagefläche 10 angeordnet.The clamping element 1 has an eye 14 for the screw 13 for clamping the branch conductor in the bore 4. A contact surface 10 is arranged on each side of the eye 14.

Durch die Anordnung der Vorsprünge 5 beidseits des Auges 14 wird ein gegenseitiges Verdrehen der beiden Klemmelemente 1, 2 beim Anziehen der Schraube 3a verhindert.The arrangement of the projections 5 on both sides of the eye 14 prevents the two clamping elements 1, 2 from rotating relative to one another when the screw 3a is tightened.

Die Ausnehmungen 9 und 7 mit den Ringschneiden 11 entsprechen der in der Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigten Ausführungsvariante, wobei die Hohlräume 12 zwischen den Ringschneiden 11 zur Verringerung von Kerbspannungen im Querschnitt auch halbkreisförmig ausgebildet sein können, wie dies in Fig. 2a dargestellt ist.The recesses 9 and 7 with the annular cutting edges 11 correspond to the embodiment variant shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein the cavities 12 between the annular cutting edges 11 can also be semicircular in cross section in order to reduce notch stresses, as shown in FIG. 2a.
