Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection unit of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a cable connector which has two mating housing parts which are each connected to one of the cables.
  • the housing parts which complement one another when plugged together, have multipole electrical connectors and are secured against pulling apart by a distortion-proof locking device.
  • connection unit consisting of bus coupling unit and adapter.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connection unit of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1, which has a structurally simple structure and is suitable for concealed accommodation in false ceilings, partitions and cavity floors as well as for free installation without a fixed wall installation.
  • connection unit 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.
  • the cable connections are expediently provided with strain reliefs, so that the cables cannot be pulled out of their contact terminals by pulling.
  • 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.
  • the connection unit shown has an elongated angular housing 10 made of plastic, which consists of the two housing parts 11 and 12, which can be placed against one another with their open end faces.
  • the housing part 11 contains the bus coupling unit and the housing part 12 contains the adapter.
  • the bus coupling unit is connected to at least one data cable 13 which leads into the housing half 11.
  • a cable connection device 14 is present on the rear side facing away from the open side of the housing half 11, to which the wires of the cable 13 are connected and which is connected to the bus coupling unit located inside the housing part.
  • a further data cable 13a is connected to the cable connection device 14.
  • the wires of this data cable 13a are connected to the wires of the cable 13 via the cable connection device 14 in order to continue to another connection unit.
  • the data cables 13 and 13a are part of the cable network installed in the building.
  • the two housing parts 11, 12 each have a base plate 15 which holds the electrical components wearing.
  • the electrical components are each covered by a hood 16 which is fastened on the base plate 15.
  • the base plates 15 and the hoods 16 each enclose an interior space that is only open on the mutually facing sides of the housing parts.
  • the hoods 16 are fastened to the base plate 15 with locking devices 17.
  • Each base plate 15 protrudes toward the outer end via the hood 16 and carries the cable connecting device 14 in the projecting part.
  • the cables 13 and 13a are fixed on the base plate 15 with a strain relief device 18, which is a clamping bracket .
  • the strain relief device 18 holds the cable sheaths so that a pull on the cables is not transmitted to the cable connection device 14.
  • the protruding part of the base plate 15 is covered with a cap 19, under which the cable connection device 14 is located and which has a recess 20 for the passage of the cables.
  • the two housing parts 11 and 12 each have a multipole connector 21, 22 on their open sides facing one another.
  • the plug connectors one of which has pins and the other of which has sockets, effect the electrical connection between the bus coupling unit and the adapter when the housing parts are plugged together.
  • Two cables lead to the housing part 12, namely a supply cable 32 and a data cable 23.
  • the data cable 23 leads to the external electrical device.
  • These cables 32, 23 are fixed by a strain relief device 18 on the base plate 15 and connected to a cable connection device 14, which is at the rear of the housing part 12 is arranged and is covered by a cap 19.
  • the locking device 24 which consists of a bracket 25 pivotably attached to the housing part 11 and of pins 26 projecting laterally on the housing part 12, serves to mutually lock the housing parts 11, 12.
  • the clamping bracket 25 surrounds the two pins 26 with recesses 27 in the pivoted-down state.
  • a clamping spring 28 is provided on each recess 27, which engages behind the relevant pin 26 and prevents the clamping bracket 25 from swinging up unintentionally.
