Abstract

For the overheating protection or overload protection of, in particular, ballast units, a connecting terminal has a base body in which at least one terminal insert (2') with two connecting contact points (3') is provided, which contact points are electrically insulated from one another. Their conductive connection is achieved by means of a current- or temperature-sensitive protecting element (5) which is arranged in a retaining chamber (4, 4'), offset from the terminal inserts, and is connected to the two connecting contact points (3'). These contact points are constructed on two individual terminal bodies (12), each of which has a screw terminal for the conductor which is to be connected or the contact tongue of the ballast unit and a connecting contact element, designed as a crimped terminal or terminal clip for one contact end of the protecting element. The walls (6) of the retaining chamber (4) also provide air and leakage paths which are also adequate for transformers with relatively stringent safety requirements. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Anschlußklemme, insbesondere Vorschaltklemme für Drossel- oder Transformatorspulen, mit einem von einer Haube überdeckbaren Grundkörper, der einen Aufnahmeraum für ein strom- bzw. temperaturempfindliches Schutzelement und mindestens zwei zueinander parallele Klemmeinsätze mit je zwei Anschlußkontaktstellen umfaßt.The invention relates to an electrical connection terminal, in particular a ballast terminal for choke or transformer coils, with a base body which can be covered by a hood, which comprises a receiving space for a current- or temperature-sensitive protective element and at least two mutually parallel terminal inserts, each with two connection contact points.

DE-U-3342395 offenbart eine Anschlußklemme, bei welcher der als Anbau an das Gehäuse der Transformatorspule vorgesehene Grundkörper zwei Schraubklemmanschlüsse für zwei anschließende Leiter aufweist, und wahlweise mit einer Thermosicherung ausgestattet werden kann. Ohne Thermosicherung sind beide Schraubklemmanschlüsse an Klemmeinsätzen mit einem abstehenden Steckstift vorgesehen, die beim Einschieben des Grundkörpers in die Stirnseite des Gehäuses in Anschlußkontakte der Wicklung eingreifen. Wenn die Thermosicherung verwendet wird, so wird nur eine der beiden Klemmeinsätze mit Steckstift und die Thermosicherung in ihren Aufnahmeraum eingesetzt, wobei ein Leiterende der Thermosicherung so gebogen ist, daß es anstelle des Steckstiftes des nicht eingesetzten zweiten Klemmeinsatzes zu liegen kommt. Das zweite Leiterende der Thermosicherung wird in einem eigenen Klemmeinsatz mittels einer Schraubklemme fixiert, wobei an diesem Klemmeinsatz auch der zweite Schraubklemmanschluß für den zweiten anzuschließenden Leiter vorgesehen ist.DE-U-3342395 discloses a connection terminal in which the base body provided as an attachment to the housing of the transformer coil has two screw-type terminals for two subsequent conductors, and can optionally be equipped with a thermal fuse. Without a thermal fuse, both screw-type terminals are provided on terminal inserts with a protruding plug pin, which engage in the winding contacts when the base body is inserted into the front of the housing. If the thermal fuse is used, only one of the two clamping inserts with a pin and the thermal fuse are inserted into their receiving space, one end of the conductor of the thermal fuse being bent so that it comes to lie instead of the pin of the second clamping insert not used. The second conductor end of the thermal fuse is fixed in a separate clamping insert by means of a screw terminal, the second screw terminal connection for the second conductor to be connected also being provided on this clamping insert.

Ein Leiteranschluß ist damit, abhängig von der Verwendung der Thermosicherung an zwei verschiedenen Positionen gegeben. Dies kann die Montage der beiden Leiter verzögern, da erst kontrolliert werden muß, in welcher Position eine Schraubklemme vorliegt. Weiters ist die Thermosicherung abseits des sich gegebenenfalls zu sehr erwärmenden Teiles, nämlich der Transformatorspule vorgesehen, und schließlich ist deren Austausch gegen andere Schutzelemente nicht möglich, da diese einen anders dimensionierten Aufnahmeraum erfordernA conductor connection is therefore available in two different positions, depending on the use of the thermal fuse. This can delay the assembly of the two conductors, since it must first be checked in which position a screw terminal is present. Furthermore, the thermal fuse is provided away from the possibly overheating part, namely the transformer coil, and finally, it is not possible to replace them with other protective elements, since these require a differently dimensioned receiving space

Die Erfindung hat es sich daher zur Aufgabe gestellt eine elektrische Anschlußklemme mit eindeutig festgelegten Leiteranschlußpositionen zu schaffen, deren Aufnahmeraum den Einbau strom- bzw temperaturempfindlicher Schutzelemente variabler Größen und unterschiedlicher Art erlaubt.The object of the invention is therefore to create an electrical connection terminal with clearly defined conductor connection positions, the receiving space of which allows the installation of current- or temperature-sensitive protective elements of variable sizes and different types.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies nun durch eine elektrische Anschlußklemme gemäß Anspruch 1 erreicht.According to the invention, this is now achieved by an electrical connection terminal according to claim 1.

Wird also das Schutzelement verwendet, bleibt die Lage der Klemmeinsätze unverändert, weil, anstelle eines Klemmeinsatzes mit zwei elektrisch verbundenen Anschlußkontaktstellen, der Klemmeinsatz mit den beiden elektrisch voneinander isolierten Anschlußkontaktstellen in den Grundkörper eingesetzt ist. Das Schutzelement stellt dabei die elektrische Leitung zwischen den Anschlußkontaktstellen her, und bildet nicht, wie beim Stand der Technik, selbst einen Anschlußkontakt. Daraus ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, dem Aufnahmeraum eine Größe zu geben, die die Unterbringung verschiedener Schutzelemente an den günstigsten Stellen ermöglicht.If the protective element is used, the position of the clamping inserts remains unchanged because, instead of a clamping insert with two electrically connected connection contact points, the clamping insert with the two electrically isolated connection contact points is inserted into the base body. The protective element produces the electrical line between the connection contact points and does not itself form a connection contact, as in the prior art. This makes it possible to give the recording room a size that allows various protective elements to be accommodated in the most favorable places.

Diese Ausbildung gestattet es außerdem, die Anschlußklemme in herkömmlicher Weise ohne strom- bzw. temperaturempfindliches Schutzelement zu verwenden, indem der Klemmeinsatz mit den beiden elektrisch voneinander isolierten Anschlußkontaktstellen entweder durch Klemmeinsätze mit voneinander nicht isolierten Anschlußkontaktstellen oder gegebenenfalls auch solche mit überbrückter Isolierung ersetzt wird.This design also allows the terminal to be used in a conventional manner without a current- or temperature-sensitive protective element by replacing the terminal insert with the two electrically insulated terminal contact points either by terminal inserts with non-insulated terminal contact points or, if appropriate, also those with bridged insulation.

Die beiden voneinander isolierten Anschlußkontaktstellen sind also an zwei einzelnen Klemmkörpern ausgebildet, die durch einen Isolierteil voneinander getrennt sind. Im Klemmeinsatzaufnahmekanal werden somit zuerst ein einzelner Klemmkörper, dann der Isolierteil und schließlich der zweite einzelne Klemmkörper angeordnet. Der Isolierteil ist dabei vorzugsweise als Kreuzstück ausgebildet, um die benötigten Längen der Kriechstromwege zu erzielen, wobei einander gegenüberliegende Stege des Isolierteiles in stirnseitige Nuten der Klemmkörper eingreifen können. Die einzelnen Klemmkörper können dabei auch in einem zwei Aufnahmekammern aufweisenden Einschubteil eingesetzt sein, der im Klemmeinsatzaufnahmekanal angeordnet wird.The two Connection contact points insulated from one another are thus formed on two individual clamping bodies which are separated from one another by an insulating part. A single clamping body, then the insulating part and finally the second individual clamping body are thus arranged in the clamping insert receiving channel. The insulating part is preferably designed as a cross piece in order to achieve the required lengths of the leakage current paths, it being possible for opposing webs of the insulating part to engage in grooves on the end of the clamping bodies. The individual clamping bodies can also be used in an insert part which has two receiving chambers and is arranged in the clamping insert receiving channel.

Jeder einzelne Klemmkörper umfaßt vorzugsweise eine übliche Schraubklemme für den Leiteranschluß und einen Aufnahmeschlitz für das Leiterende des Schutzelementes. Das Leiterende des Schutzelementes kann im Aufnahmeschlitz verlötet oder geklemmt werden, wobei im letzteren Fall der Aufnahmeschlitz von einem Quetschkörper begrenzt sein kann.Each individual clamping body preferably comprises a conventional screw terminal for the conductor connection and a receiving slot for the conductor end of the protective element. The conductor end of the protective element can be soldered or clamped in the receiving slot, in which case the receiving slot can be delimited by a squeeze body.

Wie erwähnt ermöglicht die Anordnung der voneinander isolierten Anschlußkontaktstellen anstelle eines zwei Kontaktstellen aufweisenden üblichen Klemmeinsatzes die Ausbildung und Anordnung eines für verschiedene Schutzelemente geeigneten Aufnahmeraumes. Derartige Schutzelemente können beispielsweise sein: Temperaturbegrenzer, Thermosicherungen, mechanisch auslösende Schutzschalter mit selbsttätiger oder nicht selbsttätiger Rückstellung, Thermowächter, od.dgl.As mentioned, the arrangement of the mutually insulated connection contact points instead of a conventional clamping insert having two contact points enables the design and arrangement of a receiving space suitable for various protective elements. Such protective elements can be, for example: temperature limiters, thermal fuses, mechanically triggering circuit breakers with automatic or non-automatic reset, thermal monitors, or the like.

Eine erste Ausführung hierzu sieht vor, daß als Schutzelement eine Kaltleiterscheibe in den Aufnahmeraum einsetzbar ist und der Aufnahmeraum sich parallel zu den Klemmeinsätzen erstreckt.A first embodiment of this provides that a PTC thermistor can be used as a protective element in the receiving space and the receiving space extends parallel to the clamping inserts.

Wird der Aufnahmeraum geschlossen ausgebildet, so daß die Kaltleiterscheibe nicht belüftet wird, so stellt die Kalterscheibe einen Überhitzungsschutz dar. Wird der Aufnahmeraum zur Spulenwicklung hin abgeschlossen, so kann die Kaltleiterscheibe als bloßer Stromschutz verwendet werden, wenn der Aufnahmeraum belüftet wird. In einer derartigen Ausführung können die zu den Klemmeinsätzen parallelen Wände des Aufnahmeraumes Lüftungsöffnungen und in den Aufnahmeraum ragende Vorsprünge aufweisen, zwischen denen die Kaltleiterscheibe angeordnet ist.If the receiving space is designed to be closed so that the PTC thermistor disc is not ventilated, the cold disc is a protection against overheating. If the receiving space is closed towards the coil winding, the PTC thermistor disc can be used as a mere current protection when the receiving space is ventilated. In such an embodiment, the walls of the receiving space parallel to the clamping inserts can have ventilation openings and projections projecting into the receiving space, between which the PTC thermistor disc is arranged.

Eine Kombination von Überhitzungsschutz und Stromschutz durch die Kaltleiterscheibe ergibt sich bei einem zur Wicklung offenen Aufnahmeraum, dessen Wände mit Lüftungsöffnungen versehen sind. Durch die beschriebene Ausbildung der Anschlußklemme ergibt sich noch ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil. Es wird möglich, alle vier Klemmeinsätze in der Anschlußklemme vorzusehen, sodaß sowohl die Anschlüsse für den Primärstrom als auch für den Sekundärstrom an derselben Stirnseite eines Vorschaltgerätes vorgesehen werden können. Es wird nicht nur eine Anschlußeinrichtung eingespart, sondern die Reinigung der Kontaktzungen des Vorschaltgerätes begünstigt. In diesem Fall ergibt sich noch eine bevorzugte Ausführung dadurch, daß vier Klemmeinsätze in den Grundkörper eingesetzt sind, die paarweise Leiteranschlüsse für Primär- und Sekundärstrom bilden, und der Aufnahmeraum unter Ausbildung von Luft- und Kriechstrecken zwischen den Leiteranschlußpaaren mittig ausgebildet ist. Durch die mittige Ausbildung zwischen den Klemmeinsatzpaaren können gleichzeitig auch Kriech- und Luftwege für beliebig hohe Sicherheitsvorschriften eingehalten werden.A combination of overheating protection and current protection through the PTC thermistor results in a receiving space open to the winding, the walls of which are provided with ventilation openings. The described design of the connection terminal results in a further significant advantage. It becomes possible to provide all four clamping inserts in the connection terminal, so that both the connections for the primary current and for the secondary current can be provided on the same end face of a ballast. Not only is a connection device saved, but the cleaning of the contact tongues of the ballast is promoted. In this case, a preferred embodiment results from the fact that four clamping inserts are inserted into the base body, which form conductor connections for primary and secondary current in pairs, and the receiving space is formed in the center with the formation of air and creepage distances between the conductor connection pairs. Due to the central design between the pairs of clamping inserts, creeping and airways for any high safety regulations can be observed at the same time.

Eine andere Ausführung der Anschlußklemme sieht vor, daß als Schutzelement eine, insbesondere zur Anlage an die Wicklung der Drossel- oder TRansformatorspule bestimmte Thermosicherung in eine stirnseitige Erweiterung des Grundkörpers einsetzbar ist.Another version of the terminal provides that one, in particular for contact with the Winding the choke or transformer coil certain thermal fuse can be used in an end extension of the base body.

In einer dritten Ausführung ist schließlich vorgesehen, daß als Schutzelement eine Schmelzsicherung in den Aufnahmeraum einsetzbar ist, wobei die beiden voneinander isolierten Anschlußkontaktstellen jeweils einer Fassung der Schmelzsicherung zugeordnet sind.Finally, in a third embodiment it is provided that a fuse can be used as a protective element in the receiving space, the two mutually insulated connection contact points each being assigned to a socket of the fuse.

Eine besonders einfach Ausgestaltung ergibt sich dabei dadurch, daß von jedem Klemmkörper ein Klemmbügel senkrecht zur Leiteranschlußrichtung absteht, wobei die Fassung zwischen der Außenseite des Klemmkörpers und dem freien Ende des Klemmbügels ausgebildet ist, der den Schmelzeinsatz an die Anschlußkontaktstelle anpreßt.A particularly simple configuration results from the fact that a clamping bracket protrudes perpendicularly to the conductor connection direction from each clamping body, the socket being formed between the outside of the clamping body and the free end of the clamping bracket, which presses the melt insert onto the connection contact point.

Nachstehend wird nun die Erfindung an Hand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert, ohne darauf beschränkt zu sein.The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, without being limited thereto.
