Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anschlußeinheit der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Art.The invention relates to a connection unit of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Aus EP 0 344 609 A2 ist ein digitales Signalübertragungssystem für die Hausleittechnik bekannt, bei dem Datentelegramme zwischen verschiedenen im Gebäude installierten Anschlußeinheiten oder zwischen jeder Anschlußeinheit und einer Zentraleinheit übertragen werden können. Die Datenübertragung erfolgt zum Zwecke des Schaltens, Steuerns, Regelns, Messens und/oder Überwachens, wobei die Anschlußeinheiten die Funktionen von Eingabe- und/oder Ausgabeeinheiten haben können. An die Anschlußeinheiten können externe elektrische Geräte, Melder oder Funktionsgeber angeschlossen werden. Die Anschlußeinheit ermöglicht die Kommunikation des externen Geräts mit dem Hausleitsystem. Da für unterschiedliche externe Geräte funktionsspezifische Anschlußeinheiten schlußeinheiten benötigt werden, ist zur Vereinheitlichung des in dem Gebäude zu installierenden Systems vorgesehen, daß jede Anschlußeinheit aus einer Busankopplungs-Einheit und einem Adapter besteht. Die Busankopplungs-Einheiten sind hardware-mäßig untereinander gleich aufgebaut, so daß bei der Installation des Systems an jeder Anschlußstelle zunächst nur eine Busankopplungs-Einheit, die einen Mikroprozessor enthält, zu installieren ist. Diese Busankopplungs-Einheit wird mit einem funktionsspezifischen Adapter verbunden, der die Anschlußeinheit komplettiert und ihr dasjenige Verhalten vermittelt, das für die Kommunikation mit einem bestimmten externen Gerätetyp erforderlich ist.From EP 0 344 609 A2 a digital signal transmission system for home automation is known, in which data telegrams can be transmitted between different connection units installed in the building or between each connection unit and a central unit. The data transmission takes place for the purpose of switching, controlling, regulating, measuring and / or monitoring, wherein the connection units can have the functions of input and / or output units. External electrical devices, detectors or function transmitters can be connected to the connection units. The connection unit enables the external device to communicate with the home control system. As function-specific connection units for different external devices connection units are required, it is provided to standardize the system to be installed in the building that each connection unit consists of a bus coupling unit and an adapter. In terms of hardware, the bus coupling units are constructed identically to one another, so that when the system is installed, only one bus coupling unit that contains a microprocessor must be installed at each connection point. This bus coupling unit is connected to a function-specific adapter, which completes the connection unit and gives it the behavior that is required for communication with a specific external device type.

Aus US-A-4 083 619 ist ein Kabelverbinder bekannt, der zwei zueinander passende Gehäuseteile aufweist, welche jeweils mit einem der Kabel verbunden werden. Die Gehäuseteile, die sich im zusammengesteckten Zustand zu einem Gehäuse ergänzen, haben mehrpolige elektrische Steckverbinder und sie sind durch eine verzugfeste Verriegelungsvorrichtung gegen Auseinanderziehen gesichert.From US-A-4 083 619 a cable connector is known which has two mating housing parts which are each connected to one of the cables.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den im des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features specified in claim 1.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anschlußeinheit sind die Busankopplungs-Einheit und der Adapter in separaten Gehäuseteilen untergebracht, die zusammengesteckt werden können und dann ein frei bewegliches Gehäuse bilden. Dieses Gehäuse braucht nicht wasser- und staubdicht gekapselt zu sein, sondern es bildet lediglich einen äußeren Mantel gegen Beschädigungen wie sie durch Stöße u.dgl. hervorgerufen werden können, sowie einen Berührungsschutz. Das Gehäuse kann an geschützter Stelle hinter Wand- oder Deckenverkleidungen oder in Möbeln untergebracht werden, wobei es dort lediglich abgelegt wird und keine feste Installation erfordert. Die beiden Gehäuseteile, von denen eines mit dem Datenkabel und das andere mit mindestens einem Kabel für das externe Gerät verbunden ist, sind durch die Verriegelungsvorrichtung gegen Auseinanderziehen gesichert, so daß die Verbindung nicht durch Ziehen an den Kabeln gelöst werden kann. Die Anschlußeinheit ist von sehr einfachem Aufbau und sie kann leicht und kostengünstig, z.B. aus Kunststoff-Spritzteilen hergestellt werden. Die in den Gehäuseteilen befindlichen elektrischen Komponenten wie Busankopplungs-Einheit und Adapter können auf Leiterplatinen realisiert und vergossen werden.In the connection unit according to the invention, the bus coupling unit and the adapter are accommodated in separate housing parts which can be plugged together and then form a freely movable housing. This housing does not need to be encapsulated in a water-tight and dust-tight manner, but merely forms an outer jacket against damage such as that caused by impacts and the like can be caused, as well as a touch protection. The housing can be placed in a protected place behind wall or ceiling cladding or in furniture, whereby it is only stored there and does not require a fixed installation. The two housing parts, one of which is connected to the data cable and the other to at least one cable for the external device, are secured against pulling apart by the locking device, so that the connection cannot be released by pulling on the cables. The connection unit is of a very simple construction and it can be manufactured easily and inexpensively, for example from injection molded plastic parts. The electrical components in the housing parts, such as the bus coupling unit and adapter, can be implemented and cast on printed circuit boards.

Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Kabelanschlüsse mit Zugentlastungen versehen, so daß die Kabel nicht durch Ziehen aus ihren Kontaktklemmen herausgezogen werden können.The cable connections are expediently provided with strain reliefs, so that the cables cannot be pulled out of their contact terminals by pulling.

Das Gehäuse ist vorzugsweise in Längsrichtung geteilt, wobei die Anschlußvorrichtungen für die Kabel an den einander abgewandten Gehäuseenden vorgesehen sind. Es ist aber auch möglich, das Gehäuse in Querrichtung zu teilen, wobei jeweils eine untere und eine obere Gehäusehälfte vorgesehen ist und die eine Gehäusehälfte die Busankopplungs-Einheit und die andere den Adapter enthält. Auch in diesem Fall sind beide Gehäuseteile mit einer Kabel-Anschlußvorrichtung versehen.The housing is preferably divided in the longitudinal direction, the connecting devices for the cables being provided on the housing ends facing away from one another. However, it is also possible to divide the housing in the transverse direction, a lower and an upper housing half being provided in each case and one housing half containing the bus coupling unit and the other the adapter. In this case too, both housing parts are provided with a cable connection device.
