Definitions

  • the invention relates to a junction box for electrical lines, in particular for a plurality of flat ribbon cables of telecommunications technology having parallel stranded wire conductors, with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • junction box for ribbon cables of telecommunications, which has a base plate which can be attached to a wall or the like, a cover cap which has at least one opening for inserting a connector, with at least one bushing for the base plate and cover cap Ribbon cable is provided, has at least one socket element for receiving at least one connector and penetration contacts for contacting an uncut ribbon cable.
  • a junction box is characterized by its space-saving design.
  • the compactness is bought through a relatively complex structure, which also means that the individual components are very difficult to access.
  • each socket element is pivotally mounted about an axis on the base plate and comes to lie in the pivoted-in state above the ribbon cable, spring contacts being arranged in the socket element, to which the penetration contacts are angled, furthermore, each socket element has to trigger the locking of the Connector on its upper side a resilient push button formed integrally with the upper side.
  • the cover cap When the junction box is closed, the cover cap engages over the push button of the socket element and engages.
  • the cover cap can be opened with a simple tool such as a knife or screwdriver. As soon as the cover cap is no longer above the socket element, it can be pivoted about an axis, so that the space for the ribbon cable to be inserted is accessible. Overall, where all components of the junction box are easily accessible.
  • the spring contacts can be connected to one another by the penetration contacts by crimping, welding or the like. This minimizes the contact resistance at the contact points.
  • Each of the spring contacts can have two legs of different lengths, the penetration contacts being arranged on the legs of different lengths. This results in a uniform leverage effect for the other legs of the same length, which is necessary for the perfect contacting of the plug connectors in the socket.
  • the spring contacts are preferably provided on a contact carrier plate, each conductor of the ribbon cable being able to be contacted via one of the legs due to its different length, this being possible from any spring position.
  • the leg of at least one of the spring contacts is provided with an offset in some areas. This offset enables the leg to be passed under other conductor tracks.
  • the socket element can be connectable to the base plate by means of a threaded screw arranged captively in the socket upper part. When the screw is tightened, the socket element is firmly seated on the base plate and thus the penetration contact is made over the ribbon cable.
  • the cover cap can be connected to the base plate by at least one film hinge. As a result, the cover cap is held on the base plate even when it is pivoted away.
  • the base plate preferably has a bevel on at least one of its edges running transversely to the ribbon cable. This prevents the ribbon cable from kinking or lying flat.
  • a breakthrough can also be provided for each push button in the cover cap, but a common breakthrough for all push buttons is also conceivable.
  • the socket elements are aligned with their insertion opening for plug connectors in the direction of the ribbon cable that is passed through or transversely to the direction of the ribbon cable that is passed through. This makes the junction box adaptable to a wide variety of conditions that are related to assembly.
  • the junction box in Fig. 1 is shown in the closed state, that is, the cover cap 12 covers the socket element and in particular the ribbon conductor 15.
  • an insertion opening 38 is provided in the cover cap, which corresponds to a corresponding opening of the socket element.
  • the plug-in connector slides and contacts on the spring contacts 41 and is held in the socket element by a bolt. Due to the special design of the spring contacts 41, the contacting of the ribbon cable 15 is optimized.
  • the insertion opening is transverse to the course of the ribbon cable 15.
  • 12 recesses 50 are provided on the cover cap.
  • the top of the cap 12 also contains an opening 32 through which the push button 30 of the socket element protrudes when the junction box is closed. By pressing the push button 30 down, the locked connector can be removed from its fixed position.
  • a junction box in which two insertion openings 38, 39 are provided for connectors. Corresponding cutouts 36, 37 are provided on the cover cap 42.
  • Each of the socket elements is provided with a push button 30, 31 which are guided through openings 32, 33 in the cover cap 12. In the pivoted-in state of the cover cap 12, it snaps into place via the opening 48 and snap connector 47, so that the cover cap 12 holds the connection socket securely closed.
  • a ribbon conductor 15 is in turn guided through the housing, for which purpose corresponding recesses 50 are provided on the cover cap 12.
  • the push buttons 30, 31 for each socket element are guided through corresponding recesses 32, 33.
  • both pushbuttons 30, 31 would have to be pressed so that the cover cap 12 can be pivoted away after the snap connection 47, 48 has been released.
  • the spring contacts 41 can either contact the stranded conductors of the ribbon cable 15 in the same way, but it is also possible that corresponding spring contacts 41 are assigned to different stranded conductors.
  • Fig. 3 shows the junction box from Fig. 1, but here the cover 12 is pivoted away.
  • a socket element 13 is attached to a base plate 11, which is provided with fastening holes 51, this socket element 13 being pivotable about the axis 20 relative to the base plate 11.
  • a captive screw 21 in the socket element 13 can be screwed to the base plate 11 and thus ensures a secure fit of the socket element 13 on the ribbon cable 15.
  • the ribbon cable 15 runs under the socket element 13, whereby according to the embodiment shown here it is provided that it is arranged transversely to the insertion opening 38 of the socket element 13.
  • a one-piece push button 30 is attached to the top 14 of the socket element 13.
  • the cover cap 12 is fastened to the base plate 11 by means of a film hinge 22.
  • the cover cap 12 has recesses 49 which, when the cover cap 12 is pivoted in, engage over the ribbon cables 15.
  • an opening 48 is provided on the cover cap 12, which is used to snap the cover cap 12 onto the socket element 13.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the invention in which the insertion opening 38 of the socket element 13 lies in the direction of the ribbon cable 15.
  • the socket element 13 is in turn pivotally mounted about an axis 20 and can be fastened to the base plate 11 by means of a threaded screw 21.
  • a snap connector 47 is also provided on the socket element 13, via which the opening 48 of the cover cap 12 engages. In the pivoted-in state of the cover cap 12, the recesses 49, 50 lie above the ribbon cable 15, while the recess 36 comes to coincide with the insertion opening 38.
