Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fluidic terminal block with base plate modules and a solenoid valve, which has an armature, a coil with coil contacts and a connection for the coil contacts, the coil contacts each consisting of a protective contact conductor, a signal conductor and a neutral conductor.
  • a fluidic connector strip according to the features in the preamble of claim 1 belongs to the prior art.
  • Such fluidic connection strips contain several valves lined up next to one another, such as e.g. Directional valves, such valves and row base plates can be plugged together without tools.
  • the production of the housing from thermoplastics is associated with the lowest possible weight and such housings are also corrosion-resistant.
  • a device with base plates for a valve manifold is known (DE patent 28 52 685). Then a valve manifold has several base plates and two end pieces. Base plates and end parts are mutually locked by means of hook-shaped projections.
  • each valve When using several solenoid valves, it is necessary to connect each valve to a supply line for the pressure medium, to a line for the pneumatic output signal, further to an electrical signal conductor, and at least to an electrical return conductor, for which purpose a protective contact conductor may also have to be provided.
  • Pressure medium (P) is fed into a common tube carrier and the return (R) is also carried out through a common tube carrier.
  • each individual solenoid valve to the power supply is uneconomical and technically imperfect in that at least two electrical conductors per solenoid valve must be led to a socket and connected.
  • the wiring of such a solenoid valve battery is difficult during final assembly with the commercially available sockets because of the small size.
  • one conductor is required for the input signal, one further conductor for the zero phase and possibly another conductor for the protective contact.
  • One conductor is looped through the battery, whereas all other conductors are individually connected.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a fluidic connector block of the type mentioned, which is however expandable as desired and, when increased by one or more modules, allows extremely simple cabling and does not build much larger.
  • connection module made of non-conductive plastic
  • a protective contact conductor made of flat parts and a neutral conductor are arranged one above the other.
  • This type of protective contact or neutral conductor training also corresponds to the need to build space-saving, ie compact.
  • the protective contact conductors made of flat parts and the neutral conductors each run essentially at right angles in the superimposed levels. This measure is particularly advantageous with regard to the protective contact or neutral conductor running in the longitudinal direction of the strip and the solenoid valve connecting contacts to be connected perpendicularly thereto.
  • the signal conductor consists of a flat part which has a first upper section bent toward the input of the connecting terminal and a second, subsequent, lower section bent into the lower plane, which forms the connection to the coil contact.
  • the goal of a compact design also serves that the plug-in base plate modules are each formed on the end faces with a plug-in guide for the connection modules.
  • the plug-in guide on the connection modules consists of a dovetail spring that is closed at the end and that the plug-in guide on the baseplate module consists of a continuous, open dovetail groove.
  • the fluidic connection strip is formed by a (not absolutely necessary) metal strip 1 and several base plate modules 2 and by a closing part 3.
  • the base plate modules 2 can be connected to one another by resilient hook-shaped projections 4, each with an extension 5 of the pressure medium line engages in the adjacent base plate module 2 with an inserted sealing ring 6.
  • an input plate 7 (with hose connector) or a through plate 8 can be attached or inserted.
  • a solenoid valve 9 is assigned to each base plate module 2.
  • Each solenoid valve 9 is connected to its connecting piece 11 and sealing rings 12 by actuating a spring-loaded bolt 10.
  • Each solenoid valve 9 also has a connection for the coil contacts, which consist of a protective contact conductor to be described in more detail, a signal conductor and a neutral conductor. The electrical connection is created by a plug-in connection module 13.
  • connection module 13 (FIG. 3) initially has a cover flap 15 which can be swiveled in and out via a film hinge 14 and has a latching projection 16. Under the cover flap 15 there is a cable duct 18 running in the longitudinal direction 17 of the strip. A protective contact conductor 19, a neutral conductor 20 and a signal conductor 21 are then laid inside the connection module 13. The protective contact conductors 19a and neutral conductors 20a corresponding to the side of the solenoid valve 9 are shown in broken lines in FIG. 3.
  • the signal conductor 21 (a signal conductor 21a on the solenoid valve side) is provided for each connection module 13 and a connection terminal 23 for a signal line cable 21b is formed at an input 22, a spring 23a producing the clamping effect and simultaneously establishing a contact 23b with the signal conductor 21 .
  • the signal conductor 21 forms a connection 25 to the corresponding coil contact 25 (neutral conductor 20a) at an output 24.
  • FIGS. 5a and 5b The course of a contact piece 26 belonging to the neutral conductor 20 and one Contact plates 27 belonging to the protective contact conductor 19 can be seen from FIGS. 5a and 5b.
  • the shape and position of the connecting terminal 23 can also be seen.
  • the lateral articulation of the shape of the signal conductor 21 can also be seen here.
  • connection module 13 made of non-conductive plastic there are in each of the superimposed levels 13a a protective contact conductor 19 made of flat parts and a neutral conductor 20.
  • These protective contact leads 19 made of flat parts and the neutral conductor 20 run essentially at right angles in the superimposed levels 13a.
  • a recess 29 for an opposite plate projection 30 belonging to the adjacent connection module 13 is molded onto a left connection side 28 of the connection module 13.
  • Each connection module 13 can therefore be inserted into the recess 29 of the adjacent connection module 13 by means of the plate projection 30, the neutral conductor 20 and the protective contact conductor 19 being contacted and at the same time producing a loop-through connection.
  • connection terminal 23 the connection terminal 23.
  • this screwdriver 13b shown in FIG. 4 only this screwdriver is to be inserted in the direction of the arrow (FIG. 3) in order to raise the spring 23a and to plug in the signal line cable 21b. This procedure considerably simplifies the use of the solenoid valve battery when connecting to the point of use.
  • connection module 13 has a plug guide 31 (FIGS. 4 and 6), which consists of a dovetail spring 32 on the connection module 13.
  • a corresponding dovetail groove 34 is arranged on the base plate module 2 (FIG. 7) on the end faces 33a and 33b there.
  • the plug guide 31 to the connection module 13 consists of a special dovetail spring 32 which is closed at one end 35.
  • the plug guide 31, on the other hand, consists of a continuous, open dovetail groove 34 on the base plate module 2.
  • connection module 13 can be arranged both on the front side 33a and on the front side 33b. Accordingly, the arrangement of the solenoid valve 9 also fits. all other features are carried out as described.
  • an actuating slide 36 for a spring-loaded locking plate 37 can be arranged, which effects the locking or unlocking of the solenoid valve 9.
