Definitions

  • connection block for e.g. a cable termination unit according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection block is known for example from EP-A-0 200 883.
  • This comprises an insulating body, which consists of a lower part and an upper part, in which receiving recesses are formed.
  • Connection contacts are arranged in the receiving recesses, each of which has contact slots.
  • the connection block comprises disconnection devices in the form of cutting knives, one of which is assigned to a connection contact and is used to cut off excess lengths of the wires to be connected.
  • connection block constructed in this way has proven itself in practice, it is in need of improvement insofar as its construction is still relatively complex. Because the cutting blades are stored separately in the insulating body and due to the special design of the connection contacts and their arrangement with respect to the cutting blades, a specially designed, so-called two-legged or multi-legged wiring tool is required to contact the wires to be connected in the terminal block. This wiring tool has a special construction, so that its manufacturing costs are not insignificant.
  • connection block of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 according to EP-A-0 200 883 the structure of which is simplified and which enables the use of a commercially available tool as a wiring tool.
  • connection contacts and the disconnection or clamping devices first simplifies the connection block, since no separate receiving recesses for the disconnection devices are required.
  • connection contacts and the disconnection or clamping devices can be produced in one operation, which initially reduces the manufacturing costs and further reduces the assembly costs, since in the course of arranging the connection contacts, the disconnection or clamping devices are naturally inserted into the connection block at the same time.
  • connection block according to the invention has the advantage that, for example, a screwdriver or a similarly designed plunger can be used as a wiring tool, for which purpose corresponding guides for such a one-leg wiring tool are provided on the connection block and / or on the connection contact.
  • the guides and the elastically spring-loaded connection contact in front of the screwdriver mean that the screwdriver or the one-legged wiring tool can be guided along the contact by the operator, regardless of his skill, so that the wire is connected and, if necessary, cut off.
  • the resilient connection contact or the corresponding part finds a limited clearance in the insulating body, which prevents deformation of the legs or the entire connection contact.
  • connection block according to the invention is designed such that, in the course of pushing in the wire to be connected by means of a one-legged wiring tool, both the contacting of the wire not previously stripped and, if appropriate, a protruding wire length are cut off.
  • a clip-like design of the disconnection or clamping device and the connection contact results in the advantage of a particularly simple manufacturing possibility that is inexpensive.
  • the resilient arrangement of the disconnection or clamping device on the connection contact advantageously ensures that the disconnecting or clamping device or the contact is deflected in the course of contacting the wire to be connected, as a result of which a tensile force is exerted on the pinched wire and, for example, notched in the separating device which ultimately leads to the severing of the excess wire length in the corresponding embodiments.
  • a particularly advantageous design for the separating device is a knife slot in one leg of the clip, since this represents a simple design of the separating device.
  • the knife slot and the contact slot are arranged so that they open upwards in the installed state so that the unit formed from the disconnecting device and the connecting contact is easily accessible.
  • the lower end area of the separating device or the knife slot is arranged higher than the lower end area of the contact slot, so that sufficient pulling force is obtained even after a relatively short push-in path of the wiring tool can be applied to cut off the excess wire length.
  • a particularly easy and exact separation is achieved if the knife slot is tapered.
  • the guide surface for the one-leg wiring tool can be arranged on the disconnection device, the guide surface pointing to the connection contact.
  • an insertion area can be connected upwards to the knife slot and the contact slot which widens conically.
  • the receiving recess of the insulating body has a contact surface against which the disconnection or clamping device can bear in the course of contacting and and disconnection or clamping of the wire after passing through a certain evasive movement. This stabilizes the clip and prevents it from undesirably buckling when it is contacted and disconnected or clamped. This is particularly important and advantageous when using a one-legged wiring tool, since this itself cannot have any supporting effect on the connection contact or the disconnection or clamping device.
  • a clamping device can e.g. be provided in the form of a clamping slot.
  • a resilient clamping and contact clip which has the clamping slot on the one hand and the contact slot on the other.
  • the embodiment with a clamping slot also has the particular advantage that it also acts as a strain relief slot for the contacted wire, so that the tensile forces and vibrations exerted on the wire during operation do not impair the contact.
  • the guide surface for the wiring tool is arranged on a side of the connection contact pointing to an adjacent wall of the connection block.
  • the opposite wall of the insulating body of the connection block has a surface which, together with the guide surface of the connection contact, delimits a conically tapering receiving chamber in the installed state.
  • the dimensions of the chamber are adapted to the one-legged wiring tool to be used in such a way that the one-legged wiring tool, i.e. the screwdriver, which can be easily inserted between the clamp and the insulating body by the operator, regardless of their skill, and that, on the other hand, the clamp deflects elastically, but after evasion finds stabilization on the insulating body. In this way, on the one hand, the contacting of the wire in the connection contact is reliably achieved, and, on the other hand, the clip is stabilized while avoiding buckling of sections thereof, despite the necessary application of the forces required to disconnect or clamp the wire.
  • the conically tapering wall of the insulating body can be replaced by a further clamping leg, which is connected in one piece to the clamping and contacting unit and can also have an edge that further clamps the protruding wire length facilitated.
  • connection block As a particularly simple embodiment for the wiring tool, which can be used due to the special design of the connection block according to the invention, a commercially available screwdriver or other conically tapering pressure plunger is suitable. This gives the particular advantage that no costs have to be expended for a specially designed wiring tool, so that the contacting and disconnecting process can be carried out at any time with commonly used screwdrivers.
  • connection block according to the invention In addition, it should be pointed out that, for reasons of simplification, only parts of the connection block according to the invention are shown. In practical terms, this consists of a plurality of parts to be described below. To complete the description, therefore, reference is expressly made to the disclosure of EP-A-0 200 883, which explains in detail all the parts which are also used in the connection block according to the invention, with differences of course due to the design according to the invention, which follows is described in detail.

  • connection block 1 has a connection contact 8 and a disconnection device 9.
  • the connection contact 8 and the disconnecting device 9 are formed in one piece and together form an elastic spring clip 10.
  • the respective clamp 10 is arranged in the associated receiving recess 3 of the insulating body 2.
  • the receiving recess 3 has, in detail, a boundary wall 11, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, on the left-hand side, essentially perpendicular to the bottom surface of the insulating body 2, a bottom wall 12 adjoining it at right angles, and a bottom wall 12 adjoining it at right angles Wall piece 13 on.
  • the wall piece 13 merges at an obtuse angle upwards into a wall area 14 which forms a contact surface 15 pointing into the receiving recess 3.
  • the function of this contact surface 15 will be described in more detail below.
  • connection contact 8 has a rectilinearly extending, flat leg 18 which is provided with a contact slot 19 in its upper region. This contact slot 19 is used for contacting the wire 7 without stripping.
  • the leg 18 is integrally connected to a U-shaped connecting piece 20.
  • the connector 20 is also integrally connected at its other end to a flat leg part 21 which extends parallel to the leg 18 and which, like the parts still to be mentioned, is to be counted among the separating device 9.

  • an intermediate section 29 extending parallel to the leg 18 is arranged between the leg part 28 and the bent region 22.
  • This section 29 has on its side facing the leg 18 a guide surface 30 which is therefore arranged on the separating device 9.
  • This guide surface 30 is used to guide a one-legged wiring tool 31, which can be, for example, a conventional screwdriver with tapered side surfaces.

  • the wiring tool 31 If the wire 7 is to be contacted, the wiring tool 31 is moved in the direction of the double arrow 32 down towards the bottom of the receiving recess 3. As is clear from FIG. 2, the wiring tool 31 presses the wire 7 with its left-hand end into the contact slot 19, the insulation of the wire being severed and thus contact being made. The wiring tool 31 rests with its corresponding surface on the guide surface 30 of the separating device 9. Due to the conical design of the tip of the wiring tool 31, the bent region 22, which is connected resiliently to the leg 18 via the leg part 21 and the connecting piece 20, is deflected and is supported on the contact surface 15.
  • the wire end 34 of the contacted area of the wire 7, which end extends into the receiving recess 3, is bent over and thus lies against the inside of the leg 18. This improves the hold of the wire 7 in the contact slot 19, so that the contact is maintained even when a tensile load is applied.
  • the wiring tool 31 is pulled upward in the direction of the double arrow 32 from the receiving recess 3, after which the disconnection device 9 springs back into its position shown in FIG. 1.

  • the excess length is cut off at the shear strip 71 because the V formed below the insertion opening 58 in the insulating body 2 -shaped chamber 86 only offers space for the one-leg wiring tool in the form of a screwdriver 87, but not for the wire.
  • the illustration in FIG. 9 shows that the design of the chamber 86 is selected so that it fits exactly with the screwdriver 87, so that the desired function is ensured.
  • the separating device is formed by the shear strip 71 and the stop strip 70, which are also integrally connected to the connection contact 8 to form the clamp 10 'and enable the use of a simple screwdriver as a wiring tool.
  • the additional disconnection option further expands the adaptation options of the embodiment according to FIGS. 9 and 10. Otherwise, this embodiment also has all the advantages which have been explained above in connection with the other embodiments.
  • an opening 88 for a contact point 89 is also provided on the underside of the insulating body 2 e.g. provided an earth bar. If necessary, several such openings can also be made.
