Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure transmission element for an electrical connecting terminal for connecting electrical conductors parallel to the axis of a clamping screw, in which the clamping screw is directed to a pressure leg of the L-shaped pressure transmission element, while an end face of a clamping leg is directed against the electrical conductor and the clamping leg is rotatably connected to a terminal body by means of a pivot.
- the starting point is a clamping device as described in German utility model 75 33 712.
- the pressure transmission element used there is quite complex to manufacture, since the parts either have to be punched from the full material thickness and additional breakpoints have to be turned on, or require complicated bending processes.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a pressure transmission element which can be manufactured more easily and more cost-effectively and nevertheless reliably fulfills its function.
- a pressure transmission element which is characterized in that the pressure transmission element consists of two symmetrical flat halves, which have symmetrically arranged features as the pivot point, which come to lie in mutual alignment with one another as soon as the flat halves on one another in the final phase are aligned.
- Both parts can be made of thin material and are easy to punch.
- After folding, both parts can be connected to one another on the superimposed surfaces by, for example, riveting, welding, pinning, embossing, gluing or the like.
- the front side next to the breakpoints provides the clamping surface for the conductor.
- the connecting terminal 10 consists of a terminal body 14, into which a clamping screw 16 is screwed by means of a thread.
- This clamping screw 16 exerts pressure on a pressure leg 30 of the pressure transmission element 12, which transmits the pressure via a clamping leg 34 to an electrical conductor 18 to be clamped.
- the conductor 18 is thereby clamped between the pressure transmission element 12 and a side wall 20 of the clamp body 14.
- an electrically conductive plate or layer 22 can also be inserted between the side wall 20 and the conductor 18. This is necessary if the terminal body 14 is otherwise made of electrically non-conductive material.
- the pressure transmission element 12 As shown in FIG. 2, the pressure transmission element 12 according to the invention consists of two symmetrical halves 24 and 26. Two areas 28 are pressed out of the pressure transmission element made of sheet metal, for example. Then the symmetrical halves 24 and 26 are congruent folded up and connected to each other, for example by riveting, welding, pinning, embossing or gluing. The resultant finished pressure transmission element 12 is shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 in different views.
- the pressure transmission element can also be composed of two separate symmetrical halves 24 and 26.
- the forms 28 form projections which serve as holding points for the movable suspension of the pressure transmission element 12 in the clamp body 14.
- the breakpoints 28 can also be pushed out obliquely, as is clear from FIG. 6. This results in a higher strength of the pressure transmission element 12.
- the pressure transmission element can be made of different materials, including materials that are not electrically conductive.
- connection area between the two halves 24, 26 is designed as a pressure surface 30a for the clamping screw 16. So that it cannot slide to the side, the pressure surface is at least flat, but is preferably designed as a recessed centering surface.
- the cross-sectional area of the pressure transmission element can also have a different outer shape than the shape shown in the drawings.
- the pressure transmission element designed according to the invention is easier and cheaper to manufacture than the pressure transmission elements used hitherto.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Druckübertragungselement für eine elektrische Anschlußklemme zum Anschluß elektrischer Leiter parallel zur Achse einer Klemmschraube, bei welcher die Klemmschraube auf einen Druckschenkel des L-förmig ausgebildeten Druckübertragungselements gerichtet ist, während eine Stirnseite eines Klemmschenkels gegen den elektrischen Leiter gerichtet ist und der Klemmschenkel mittels eines Drehpunkts mit einem Klemmenkörper drehbar verbunden ist.The present invention relates to a pressure transmission element for an electrical connecting terminal for connecting electrical conductors parallel to the axis of a clamping screw, in which the clamping screw is directed to a pressure leg of the L-shaped pressure transmission element, while an end face of a clamping leg is directed against the electrical conductor and the clamping leg is rotatably connected to a terminal body by means of a pivot.
Um Leiter auf möglichst kleinem Raum anklemmen zu können, wird es immer häufiger gewünscht, die Leitereinführung parallel zur Klemmschraubenachse vorzusehen. Bei derartigen Konstruktionen können mehrere gegenüberliegende Klemmvorrichtungen ohne großen Abstand zueinander montiert werden, da der Platzbedarf der anzuschließenden Leiter wesentlich geringer ist als bei Konstruktionen, bei denen die Leitereinführung der Klemmen um 90° zur Klemmschraubenachse versetzt angeordnet ist.In order to be able to connect conductors in the smallest possible space, it is increasingly desired to provide the conductor entry parallel to the clamping screw axis. In such constructions, several opposing clamping devices can be mounted without a large distance from one another, since the space required for the conductors to be connected is significantly less than in constructions in which the conductor insertion of the clamps is offset by 90 ° to the clamping screw axis.
Ausgegangen wird von einer Klemmvorrichtung, wie sie im deutschen Gebrauchsmuster 75 33 712 beschrieben ist. Das dort verwendete Druckübertragungselement ist recht aufwendig in der Herstellung, da die Teile entweder aus der vollen Materialstärke gestanzt und zusätzlich Haltepunkte angedreht werden müssen, oder komplizierte Biegevorgänge erfordern.The starting point is a clamping device as described in German utility model 75 33 712. The pressure transmission element used there is quite complex to manufacture, since the parts either have to be punched from the full material thickness and additional breakpoints have to be turned on, or require complicated bending processes.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, ein Druckübertragungselement anzugeben, das einfacher und kostengünstiger hergestellt werden kann und dennoch zuverlässig seine Funktion erfüllt.The object of the present invention is to provide a pressure transmission element which can be manufactured more easily and more cost-effectively and nevertheless reliably fulfills its function.
Die Aufgabe wird allgemein durch ein Druckübertragungselement gelöst, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß das Druckübertragungselement aus zwei symmetrischen flachen Hälften besteht, welche symmetrisch zueinander angeordnete Ausprägungen als Drehpunkt aufweisen, die in gegenseitiger Ausfluchtung zueinander zu liegen kommen, sobald in der Endphase die flachen Hälften aufeinander ausgerichtet sind.The object is generally achieved by a pressure transmission element, which is characterized in that the pressure transmission element consists of two symmetrical flat halves, which have symmetrically arranged features as the pivot point, which come to lie in mutual alignment with one another as soon as the flat halves on one another in the final phase are aligned.
Diese Teile können aus dünnem Material bestehen und lassen sich leicht stanzen. In einem Arbeitsgang lassen sich zunächst zwei Öffnungen herausdrücken, welche später beim Umfalzen um die Symmetrieachse aufeinander zu liegen kommen und als Haltepunkte dienen. Beide Teile können nach dem Umfalzen miteinander auf den aufeinanderliegenden Flächen durch beispielsweise Nieten, Schweißen, Verstiften, Prägen, Kleben oder ähnlichem verbunden werden. Die Stirnseite neben den Haltepunkten ergibt die Klemmfläche für den Leiter.These parts can be made of thin material and are easy to punch. First, two openings can be pressed out in one operation, which later come to lie on top of each other when folded around the axis of symmetry and serve as stopping points. After folding, both parts can be connected to one another on the superimposed surfaces by, for example, riveting, welding, pinning, embossing, gluing or the like. The front side next to the breakpoints provides the clamping surface for the conductor.

Fig. 1 zeigt das erfindungsgemäße Druckübertragungselement 12 eingebaut in eine elektrische Anschlußklemme 10. Die Anschlußklemme 10 besteht aus einem Klemmenkörper 14, in den über ein Gewinde eine Klemmschraube 16 eingeschraubt ist. Diese Klemmschraube 16 übt Druck aus auf einen Druckschenkel 30 des Druckübertragungselements 12, das den Druck über einen Klemmschenkel 34 weitergibt auf einen festzuklemmenden elektrischen Leiter 18. Der Leiter 18 wird dadurch zwischen dem Druckübertragungselement 12 und einer Seitenwand 20 des Klemmenkörpers 14 eingeklemmt. Zur besseren Weiterleitung des elektrischen Stroms kann zwischen Seitenwand 20 und Leiter 18 noch eine elektrisch leitende Platte oder Schicht 22 eingefügt werden. Dies ist dann notwendig, wenn der Klemmenkörper 14 ansonsten aus elektrisch nichtleitendem Material besteht.1 shows the
Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, besteht das erfindungsgemäße Druckübertragungselement 12 aus zwei symmetrischen Hälften 24 und 26. Aus dem beispielsweise aus Blech hergestelltem Druckübertragungselement werden zwei Bereiche 28 herausgedrückt. Anschließend werden die symmetrischen Hälften 24 und 26 deckungsgleich aufeinandergeklappt und miteinander verbunden, beispielsweise durch Nieten, Schweißen, Verstiften, Prägen oder Kleben. Das dadurch entstehende fertige Druckübertragungselement 12 zeigen die Fig. 3 bis 5 in verschiedenen Ansichten. Das Druckübertragungselement kann auch aus zwei getrennten symmetrischen Hälften 24 und 26 zusammengesetzt sein. Die Ausprägungen 28 bilden Vorsprünge, die als Haltepunkte für die bewegliche Aufhängung des Druckübertragungselements 12 in dem Klemmenkörper 14 dienen. Die Haltepunkte 28 können auch schräg herausgedrückt werden, wie dies aus Fig. 6 deutlich wird. Dies bewirkt eine höhere Festigkeit des Druckübertragungselements 12. Das Druckübertragungselement kann aus verschiedenen Materialien hergestellt sein, auch aus Materialien, die elektrisch nicht leitend sind.As shown in FIG. 2, the
Der Verbindungsbereich zwischen den beiden Hälften 24, 26 ist als Druckfläche 30a für die Klemmschraube 16 ausgebildet. Damit diese nicht zur Seite abgleiten kann, ist die Druckfläche zumindest eben, vorzugsweise jedoch als vertiefte Zentrierfläche ausgebildet.The connection area between the two
Die Querschnittsfläche des Druckübertragungselements kann im einzelnen auch eine andere äußere Form aufweisen als die Form, die in den Zeichnungen dargestellt ist.The cross-sectional area of the pressure transmission element can also have a different outer shape than the shape shown in the drawings.
Das erfindungsgemäß ausgebildete Druckübertragungselement ist einfacher und kostengünstiger herzustellen als die bisher verwendeten Druckübertragungselemente.The pressure transmission element designed according to the invention is easier and cheaper to manufacture than the pressure transmission elements used hitherto.
