Definitions

  • the invention relates to row line connectors which, in the example of control technology, simplify the wiring of initiators with actuators, including the electrical system supply.
  • Initiators can be signal transmitters, for example proximity switches, sensors or command transmitters.
  • Actuators can be signal receivers, for example proximity switches, sensors or command transmitters.
  • Actuators can be signal receivers that act on the basis of the received signal or initiate further activity. For example, they can be solenoid valves or relays or other signal processing elements.
  • the invention relates in particular to a row line connector according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a structure is known as an arrangement of terminal supports with printed circuit boards for electrical circuits (FR-A-2 168 236).
  • some terminal blocks can be used to connect signals and other terminal blocks can be connected via busbars that serve to supply electrical systems.
  • the invention is based on the object of developing a row line connector which makes it easier to solve tasks in connection technology in a particularly clear and simple manner and in an economical manner.
  • a row line connector according to claim 1. It has first connections for a row of lines, including, for example, at least one of signal transmitters and at least one of a supply network, first connections with the interposition of a printed circuit board with second connections , for example, are connected for signal receivers. It also has second connections to cross connectors to other row line connectors. These connections are however, connected to those first connections which are not connected to the second connections. This makes it possible to bundle signals via the circuit board in a first path type and, if necessary, to prepare and process or route them. A second path type is also provided, which enables through-connection and parallel connections in a clear manner. This is not the case with the arrangement mentioned at the beginning (FR-A-2 168 236). There cross connectors are used to make connections via circuit boards.
  • Plug-in adapters for connecting polarity-dependent electrical assemblies are known (DE-B-21 19 949), which connect the first connections to a second connection via a printed circuit board. It is also known to connect ribbon cables to individual terminal blocks without a cross connector (DE-U-9 000 143). According to a similar embodiment, it is known to connect a common connector to a terminal block via a printed circuit board (DE-C-2 722 736). Cross connectors are in themselves common with terminal blocks (for example DE-C-2 515 711).
  • the row line connector according to the invention not only connects two path types in a novel and clear manner, which benefits use as an initiator terminal, but it also makes it easier to solve a variety of adaptations to connection problems in electronics and control technology.
  • the cross connectors are busbars in a mounting rail.
  • a structure is known per se from building system technology (DE-A-3 732 650).
  • a particularly favorable structure with simple and current-carrying contact is made possible if the busbars are inclined in the mounting rail, in particular at a right angle to the imaginary mounting plane.
  • the connections can then be designed in a fork-like manner. Each such fork tine can in turn be designed with multiple arms, so that there are several contact points. It is favorable here to design a holder for the busbars that can be snapped onto the mounting rail.
  • a cross connection is then established at the same time.
  • the row line connector can in turn be modular, so that unnecessary components can be omitted for certain tasks. It is advantageous to arrange the circuit board in a separate component, the circuit board component, which can be mechanically and electrically connected to the first connections and the connections to cross connectors on a base component.
  • the circuit board component can advantageously be designed such that a plug with contacts for second connections can be plugged on. Other interfaces can also be selected.
  • the first connections can be arranged one above the other on a mounting rail and can be accessed from the side and can be electrically connected to cross-connectors to which connection terminals have staggered access from above without crossing.
  • a special version for this is known (DE-C-3 629 796).
  • the accessibility to the first connections is increased and the area for connections to be accommodated is increased if the first connections are arranged inclined at an angle to a mounting rail of the row line connector on a mounting rail.
  • the contacting to cross connectors can be realized in different techniques.
  • a simple construction is achieved if connecting conductors between the first connections and the cross-connectors are designed in a bow shape and angled in such a way that they also form resilient connections to the cross-connectors with free ends.
  • the row line connector according to FIG. 1 has first connections 1 for a row of lines 2 and second connections 3, a first connection, the right one, being connected to a second connection 3 in a bundle of second connections 3 with the interposition of a printed circuit board 4 .
  • a bundle plug 5, possibly also a flat plug, can be connected to the second connections 3.
  • the printed circuit board 4 can extend over a plurality of basic components arranged in series, each with first connections 1 and connections 11 to form cross connectors, and can bring together and bundle the lines from the respective basic components 7. In this case, signals can also be processed, processed or routed using components mounted on the circuit board. It is advantageous to provide a separate printed circuit board component 8 for each base component 7, which hold the printed circuit board 4 together with a guide 9 in the base component 7. On the printed circuit board 4, second connections 3 can come off in one place and lead to a bundle plug 5. It is also possible to plug a suitable intermediate piece between the printed circuit board and the bundle plug 5 onto the printed circuit board 4.
  • Connections 11 are in contact with cross connectors 10, in the exemplary embodiment busbars. Those first connections 1 are connected to connections 11 to form cross connectors that are not connected to the second connections 3.
  • the cross connectors 10 are held as busbars in a mounting rail 12 in an insulating body 13.
  • an optical display 14 is arranged in the exemplary embodiment, which indicates the potential difference between the signal line and a suitable line between a first connection and a cross connector 10 appeals. This enables you to check or indicate whether a signal transmitter has responded.
  • the first connections 1 are realized as pin contacts in a female and resilient sleeve contact which is crimped onto lines 2.
  • connecting conductors between the first connections 1 and the cross connectors 10 are bow-shaped and angled in such a way that they form resilient connections 11 to the cross connectors 10 with their free ends.
  • Sleeve-shaped plug-in members are arranged in a plug component 15, which can be plugged into the first connections 1.
  • a corresponding contact is shown in the circuit board component 8.
  • a contact bracket engages the circuit board 4 in a contact-making manner.
  • the first connections 1 for a series of lines are arranged in a connection level.
  • the connection levels of row line connectors are arranged above and below the drawing level.
  • the cross connector 10 are arranged in the form of busbars in the mounting rail 12 for mechanical mounting of the row line connector.
  • the mounting takes place in the manner known from terminal blocks.
  • the cross connectors 10 are inclined to the imaginary mounting plane, in the exemplary embodiment at a right angle.
  • the connections 11 for this purpose are fork-shaped, and each such fork tine can itself consist of several tines in order to adjust the contact force and current carrying capacity in the desired manner.
  • the first connections 1 are inclined at an angle with respect to an imaginary mounting plane on a support rail 12 arranged. This increases accessibility from the side and increases the area for accommodating the first connections.
  • the first connections 1 are arranged one above the other with respect to an imaginary mounting level on a mounting rail and are laterally accessible and electrically connected to cross connectors 10, to which connecting terminals have staggered access from above without crossing. When the connector is tightened, one connection is then made.
  • the upper three cross connectors 10 are illustrated in the exemplary embodiment in an overlap area of an extension.
  • the uppermost first connection 1 can be used, for example, as a PE conductor, the one below for the negative potential of a ground network, the one below for the positive potential of an on-board network.
  • the lowermost first connection 1 can be used as a signal conductor for connecting a signal transmitter and the second connection, connection 3, which has a conductive connection to the printed circuit board 4, for signal transmission to a signal receiver. In this case, the printed circuit board 4 can bring the signal paths together in row row line connectors.
  • FIG. 5 shows a base component 7 together with a plug component 15, as is used in the row line connector of FIG. 1. This basic component can also be used independently. In Figure 4, the base member 7 is shown alone.
  • connections 11 to cross connectors 10 are designed as spring-loaded pin contacts.
  • the first connections 1 are designed as sleeve contacts soldered to conductors. When used as an initiator terminal, pin-shaped contacts from signal generators can be inserted.
