- the housing 4 serves to accommodate socket contacts and can be fixed at the end facing away from the pivot pin by a hook 6 on the device frame 1.
- the hook 6 engages behind a lug 7 which is fixed to the frame of the device.
- the hook 6 carries a fixed eyelet 8 which, by pressing on, enables the hook 6 to be pivoted counterclockwise in order to pivot it free.
- the housing 4 has a frame 9.
- a number of predetermined modules 10 (FIGS. 5-8) with socket contacts 11 arranged in the core openings 10' can be inserted in accordance with a block system (FIG. 9).

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Kupplungsvorrichtung mit einer an einem Geräterahmen fest angeordneten Messerkontaktleiste und einer in einem Gehäuse untergebrachten Buchsenkontaktleiste, bei der das Gehäuse mit einem stirnseitigen Ende durch Gelenkzapfen am Geräterahmen anhängbar ist und mit dem anderen stirnseitigen Ende durch einen am Gehäuse angeordneten Haken und einer mit einer Rastöffnung versehenen geräterahmenfesten Rastfeder aneinander festlegbar sind, wobei das Gehäuse einen Rahmen aufweist und im Innenraum des Rahmens Buchsenkontakte angeordnet sind, die mit einem zugehörigen Arretiermittel im Gehäuse gesichert sind.The invention relates to an electrical coupling device with a fixedly arranged on a device frame knife contact strip and housed in a housing socket contact strip, in which the housing can be attached to the device frame with a front end by hinge pins and with the other end through a hook arranged on the housing and one can be fixed to each other with a locking opening provided on the frame of the device, the housing has a frame and socket contacts are arranged in the interior of the frame, which are secured with an associated locking means in the housing.
Bei einer vielpoligen Steckvorrichtung (DE-U-7339199) mit an einer Steckdose schwenkbar angeordnetem Steckergehäuse finden in einem Kontaktträger des Steckergehäuses verrastete Einzelkontaktelemente Verwendung, die durch einen Arretierkamm gesichert sind. Ein Entnehmen oder Einsetzen von Einzelkontaktelementen hat jeweils die Entfernung des Arretierkamms zur Voraussetzung, was ein Herausfallen der übrigen Einzelkontaktelemente ermöglicht. Eine weitere Steckverbindung (DE-A-2806437) weist einen Stecker mit einem in einem Gehäuse angeordneten Kontaktträger auf. Der Kontaktträger ist durch mehrere aneinander gereihte Kontaktsegmente gebildet, die durch Vorsprünge und Aussparungen in der Art einer Nut-Federverbindung im Gehäuse bzw. an benachbarten Kontaktsegmenten befestigt sind. Abgesehen davon, daß diese Steckverbindung große Verschiebekräfte erforderlich macht, benötigt sie auch umständliche Montagearbeiten zum Befestigen der Kontaktsegmente. Bei einer weiteren Steckverbindung (FR-A-2098545) finden in einem Steckerrahmen Kontakte aufweisende Elemente Anwendung, die durch Aufschieben auf Leisten des Steckerrahmens in Verbindung mit elastischen Klemmgliedern im Steckerrahmen festlegbar sind. Diese Steckverbindung benötigt zu Kontaktierungen bzw. Trennungen wiederum große Verschiebekräfte und erfordert verlorene Freiabschnitte im Stekkerrahmen.In the case of a multipole plug device (DE-U-7339199) with a plug housing which is pivotably arranged on a socket, individual contact elements which are locked in a contact carrier of the plug housing and are secured by a locking comb are used. Removing or inserting individual contact elements always requires removal of the locking comb, which enables the remaining individual contact elements to fall out. Another plug connection (DE-A-2806437) has a plug with a contact carrier arranged in a housing. The contact carrier is formed by a plurality of contact segments lined up, which are fastened by projections and recesses in the manner of a tongue and groove connection in the housing or on adjacent contact segments. In addition to the fact that this plug connection requires large displacement forces, it also requires cumbersome assembly work for fastening the contact segments. In a further plug connection (FR-A-2098545) elements having contacts are used in a plug frame can be fixed in the connector frame by pushing on the strips of the connector frame in conjunction with elastic clamping members. This plug connection in turn requires large displacement forces for contacts or separations and requires lost free sections in the connector frame.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung einfache Maßnahmen zur sicheren veränderbaren Bestückung von Buchsenleistenkörpern mit Buchsenkontakten zu schaffen.It is an object of the invention to provide simple measures for securely changing the fitting of female connector bodies with female contacts.
Erfindungsgemäß ist hierzu vorgesehen, daß im Innenraum des Rahmens Buchsenkontakte aufnehmende Module angeordnet sind und daß die Module an den den Messerkontakten abgewandten Enden auf die Längsteile des Rahmens aufstützbare Stützleisten und im Abstand der Stützleisten Ausnehmungen mit Anlageflächen für an den Längsteilen angeordnete Stützkörper aufweisen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, durch Einsetzen von mit einer beliebigen Anzahl Buchsenkörpern bestückten Modulen in der Art eines Blocksystems vorbestimmt ausgebildete Buchsenkontaktleisten aufzurichten und in das Gehäuse anzuordnen. Hierbei kann der beibehaltene Rahmen Module verschiedener Bestückung und Länge aufnehmen und dadurch Buchsenkontaktleisten mit einer den jeweiligen Anforderungen entsprechenden Anzahl Buchsenkontakte bilden. So ist auch möglich zwischen oder zu Modulen mit darin angeordneten Buchsenkontakten Leermodule in Anwendung zu bringen. Außderdem bedarf das Einbringen der Module nur einfacher Steckvorgänge, wobei nach Erreichen der Arbeitsstellung der Module in dem Rahmen eine selbsttätige Fixierung der Module erreichbar ist. Bevorzugt sind die Stützkörper durch an den Rahmenlängsteilen angeschnittene Streifenteile, innen angeordnete Vorsprünge oder Anformungen gebildet. Die Streifenteile geben den Vorteil, daß bei Steckvorgängen der Module die Vorsprünge oder Anformungen durch die Modulgehäuse zunächst selbsttätig entgegen Werkstoffspannungen nach außen bewegt werden um bei Erreichen der Arbeitsstellung der Module selbsttätig über die Anlageflächen zurückzuschwenken. Zweckmäßig sind die Stützkörper mit vorbestimmten Abständen an den Rahmenlängsteilen ausgebildet, wobei der Abstand der Stützkörper voneinander nach einem insbesondere variablen Rastermaß erfolgen kann.According to the invention it is provided that in the interior of the frame socket-receiving modules are arranged and that the modules have ends at the ends facing away from the knife contacts on the longitudinal parts of the frame support bars and at a distance from the support bars recesses with contact surfaces for support bodies arranged on the longitudinal parts. In this way it is possible, by inserting modules equipped with any number of socket bodies in the manner of a block system, to erect predetermined socket contact strips and to arrange them in the housing. The retained frame can accommodate modules of various configurations and lengths, thereby forming socket contact strips with a number of socket contacts corresponding to the respective requirements. So it is also possible to use empty modules between or to modules with socket contacts arranged in them. In addition, the insertion of the modules only requires simple plug-in operations, and after the modules have reached the working position, the modules can be automatically fixed in place. The support bodies are preferably formed by strip parts cut on the longitudinal frame parts, projections or projections arranged on the inside. The strip parts give the advantage that when the modules are plugged in, the projections or projections are initially automatically moved outward against material stresses in order to pivot back automatically over the contact surfaces when the modules are in the working position. The support bodies are expediently formed at predetermined distances on the longitudinal frame parts, it being possible for the support bodies to be spaced apart from one another according to a particularly variable grid dimension.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Kupplungsvorrichtung ist vorgesehen, die Rahmenlängsteile innen mit Kodierkörpern zu versehen, die in Kodierausnehmungen der Module eingreifen. Die Kodiermittel verhindern ein Einsetzen falscher Module in den Rahmen. Die Kodierkörper können einfach durch in Einsteckrichtung der Module sich erstrekkende Leisten und die Ausnehmungen der Module durch in den Modulgehäusen ausgebildete korrespondierende Nuten gebildet sein.In a further embodiment of the coupling device, provision is made to provide the longitudinal frame parts on the inside with coding bodies which engage in coding recesses in the modules. The coding means prevent incorrect modules from being inserted into the frame. The coding bodies can simply be formed by strips extending in the direction of insertion of the modules and the recesses of the modules by corresponding grooves formed in the module housings.
Schließlich ist noch vorgesehen, die Module in den Trennungsflächen zu benachbarten Modulen mit mindestens einer Nut-Federanordnung zu versehen. Die Nut-Federanordnung führt zu einer Ausrichtung der Module zueinander in Längsrichtung des Gehäuses. Außerdem verhindert die Nut-Federanordnung unerwünschte seitliche Bewegungen der Module zueinander und gegenüber den Rahmenteilen.Finally, it is also provided to provide the modules in the separating surfaces with neighboring modules with at least one tongue and groove arrangement. The tongue and groove arrangement leads to an alignment of the modules to one another in the longitudinal direction of the housing. In addition, the tongue and groove arrangement prevents undesired lateral movements of the modules with respect to one another and with respect to the frame parts.
Um bei Kupplungsvorrichtungen mit Gehäusen größerer Länge biegungssteife Rahmen zu erhalten, ist vorgesehen, daß die Rahmenlängsteile durch mindestens einen Quersteg miteinander fest verbunden sind. Die Querstege können dabei auf einer Seite mindestens eine mit den Nuten der Module querschnittsgleiche Feder und auf der anderen Seite mindestens eine mit den Federn der Module querschnittsgleiche Nut aufweisen. Es versteht sich, daß zu Buchsenkontaktgehäusen mit großer Breite zwei oder mehr Federn und Nuten an den Querstegen angeordnet sein können.In order to obtain rigid frames in coupling devices with housings of greater length, it is provided that the longitudinal frame parts are firmly connected to one another by at least one crossbar. The crossbars can have on one side at least one spring with the same cross-section as the grooves of the modules and on the other side at least one spring with the same cross-section with the springs of the modules Have groove. It goes without saying that two or more tongues and grooves can be arranged on the crossbars for socket contact housings with a large width.
Ferner ist noch vorgesehen, die Module mit einer Anzahl mit Buchsenkontakten bestückbare Kernöffnungen zu versehen, in die die Buchsenkontakte am Modulgehäuse abstützbar und durch Klemmglieder verrastbar sind. Als Klemmglieder können in die Kernöffnungen einbringbare Schieber dienen, die unmittelbar die Buchsenkontakte festlegen oder über einem modulgehäusefesten abbiegbaren Wandabschnitt die Fixierung der Buchsenkontakte in den Kernöffnungen ermöglichen.Furthermore, it is also provided to provide the modules with a number of core openings which can be fitted with socket contacts, into which the socket contacts can be supported on the module housing and can be latched by means of clamping members. Sliders which can be introduced into the core openings and which fix the socket contacts directly or which fix the socket contacts in the core openings via a bendable wall section fixed to the module housing can serve as clamping members.
