Description

The invention relates to an electrical terminal device with a housing made of insulating material, the at least one edge open towards an insertion side Insertion slot for an electrical line and at least a contact zone arranged in the housing forming insulation displacement contact with an open edge and insulation displacement slot aligned with the insertion slot to the conductor connection.

For connecting electrical devices or components to the Wires of a wiring find different today Connection technologies (e.g. screw technology, plug technology, Soldering technology, insulation displacement technology) use.

Most of these correspond to these connection techniques designed connection terminals require in the manufacture of wiring a number of work steps that are mostly performed manually and occasionally considerable requirements of skill and care the person who makes the electrical connection put. This plays a minor role as long it is all about a few terminals an electrical device, such as this when connecting the device to the Network is the case. The perfect for the production contacted electrical connections required But time and material costs come into play more complicated wiring with a variety of junctions or in mass production same electrical devices a crucial Meaning too. The complexity of manufacturing the electrical connections required makes automation of the Wiring not or only under very high technical Effort possible.

Required among the common connection techniques the so-called insulation displacement technology in comparison relatively little work because here just cut and press in for assembly the cable into the insulation displacement contact required is. Designed according to the basic principles of this connection technology Terminal clamps are in one Known a number of embodiments, for example FR-A-2330 159, DE-U-88 04 388, 87 14 703 and 88 12 057, and to US-A-2501 187, by the the invention is based, and an article in "Measure + Check / Automatic", July / August 1982, pages 491 and 492. This according to the most varied Aspects designed line connection and connection devices consistently do not have the features they are designed for use with fully automatic direct wiring of electrical devices or make assembly elements suitable.

This applies in particular to such connection devices, the two or more parts with the type of housing cover or insert bodies designed their own cover or closure elements are provided, if necessary for pressing the cables into the insulation displacement slots the insulation displacement devices housed in an insulating housing to serve. These closure or cover elements then cause in the inserted in the insulating housing Condition the touch-safe storage of the cut Line end. An example of this is in the DE-A-2 241 518, wherein this connection device also a cutting edge for one in the line to be pressed into the respective insulation displacement slot contains.

The object of the invention is therefore an electrical Terminal device according to the so-called insulation displacement technology to create that especially for direct wiring is designed to be automated.

To solve this problem, the above mentioned Terminal device according to the invention the features of Claim 1 on.

With this electrical terminal device automatically when contacting the conductor complete protection against accidental contact End reached when the leader, for example, during production the electrical connection next to the Cutting contact is cut off. At the same time the terminal device also allows one Through wiring so that all conditions for one fully automatic direct wiring are given. The insertion slot in the housing can be a Clamping a pressed line Have width, which allows, in addition to Protection against accidental contact also with strain relief immediately To achieve contacting. Since no further work steps required when making the connection every connection point with the Line laying tool only started once to become what is an essential requirement for is the automation of direct wiring.

The insulation displacement slot comes from this automation against the wiring as far as he a certain height tolerance when pressing in Head allowed. At the same time it is flat ensures gas-tight contacting of the conductor, which when pressed in immediately like a cold weld is contacted so that no oxidation the conductor surface is possible, as is often the case then the case is if previously in a separate Step, the conductor insulation must first be removed got to. The fact that the head is right next to it cut the cutting contact and with his free end then automatically in the slot or groove-like recess is kept safe from touch, allows with very short ends, i.e. essentially waste-free to work. This leads to larger wiring with many junctions to a considerable one Material savings.

The width of the slot or groove-like depression is larger than the width of the Insertion slot to cut off the Head in the recess directly at the Easy to make contact. It is too with regard to the improvement of contact protection and achieving a very short design the entire clamping device is advantageous if the slot or groove-like depression deeper than that Insertion slot is so that the free end of the cut Conductor behind the cutting contact down towards the bottom of the recess can be turned.

Basically, it is possible to use a groove or slot-like Deepening of the type mentioned both on one as well as on both sides of a cutting contact to be provided and open-ended Design gutter. For certain applications but it can also be useful to arrange it like this to make the slot or groove-like depression is designed as a chamber in which the exposed End of the contacted conductor kept safe from touch is. In this way, the overall length of the terminal device be reduced even further. This chamber can also be used on both sides of insulation displacement contacts each with an assigned insertion slot be limited to what it allows, either either connect and cut two conductors, or the terminal device only for connection a single conductor right or left or finally to be used for through-wiring.

To facilitate the automatic introduction of the The line is the slot or groove-like depression on the introductory side with an advantage provided, for example, formed by chamfers can be. The slot-like or groove-like depression can also be used Guide surfaces for a cable insertion tool exhibit. This design allows the Tool when inserting the cable and the contact exactly in the correct position to the insulation displacement slot to lead without additional guidance devices would be required.

If the line on the from the terminal block each connection point formed cut off, so can this using a knife on the automatic Line laying tool happen. Another possibility is that the terminal device at least one cutting edge for one in the insulation displacement slot contains the line to be pressed in. This cutting edge can, for example, on an insulation displacement contact be trained. It becomes when the conductor is pressed in effective.

The new terminal device can stand alone Terminal block in single or multiple terminal version be trained. The housing can do this have molded fasteners. Is common but it is appropriate to connect the terminal directly to integrate into an electrical switching element, by attaching the housing to part of such molded electrical switching element or as part one is designed.

The terminal shown in Figs. 1 to 7 has a housing 1 made of insulating material of substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape on that on a also made of insulating material molded base part 2 is placed on the with a fastening device in the form of a continuous arranged in the vicinity of the flat floor surface Longitudinal slot 3 is provided. As from Fig.3 can be seen, the terminal with its bottom surface For example, on the base plate 4 of an electrical Ballast 5 (see Fig. 10) placed and on this by means of a notched from the base plate bent up tab 6 attached by the longitudinal slot 3 protrudes.

The two side walls 7 of the top to his Wear cable entry side of open housing 1 on the inside two opposite one another Ribs 8, which are approximately in the middle between the two end faces 9 of the housing 1 and one between them Slightly wedge-shaped or parallel-flanked insertion slot Limit 10 (Fig. 2.4), which at its Top is widened by insertion bevels 11. The insertion slot 10 is in its lower region at 12 (Fig. 6) in a part-circular area somewhat expanded locally.

In the ribs 8 extend from below to about the height of the insertion slopes 11 two each other opposing narrow grooves 13 (Fig. 5) which the both delimit an edge-open insulation displacement slot 14 Leg 15 of spring steel or - Bronze manufactured insulation displacement contact 16 record, tape. The narrow, platelet-shaped, in the area the insulation displacement slot 14 is substantially U-shaped Insulation displacement contact 16 is in the housing 1 to those formed on the legs 15, the insulation displacement slot 14 facing cutting sections on all sides embedded in the insulating material of the housing 1, with its two legs 15 in the grooves 13 are guided with limited mobility. He is at his unslotted to the two legs 15 Area at 17 (Fig. 3) appropriately designed and inserted into a groove in the base part 2, in which he also is axially supported. The electrical winding of the ballast 5 is connected via a conductor 19, that in a head-side molded insulating part 20 the ballast 5 added and the other end with the insulation displacement contact 16 electrically is conductively connected. The insulation displacement contact 16 forms together with the insulation displacement slot 14 the contact zone of the connection terminal.

As can be seen, for example, from FIGS. 1 to 5, points the housing 1, on both sides of the ribs 8 and thus then the insertion slot 10, each a groove-like Well 21 substantially rectangular or slightly wedge-shaped cross-sectional shape on, which next to the insertion slot 10 for Entry side of the housing 1 opens. The two groove-like depressions 21 are mutually with the Insertion slot 10 arranged in alignment. You are up also limited by an insertion bevel 22. The 3 to 6 show that the depth of the groove-like Wells 21 is larger than that of the insertion slot 10, and that its width 23 essential is larger than that of the insertion slot 10.

The dimensions of the individual parts are chosen so that at an indented through the insertion slot 10 isolated line 24 in the one shown in FIG Way the insulation 25 in the insulation displacement slot 14 of the legs 15 of the insulation displacement contact 16 is cut open at the same time a gas-tight contact between the insulation displacement contact 16 and the deforming at the nip metallic conductor 26 takes place. With their Insulation 25 is the pressed line 24 at the same time in the insertion slot 10 between the two Ribs 8 clamped, the extension at 12 (Fig. 6) serves to lock the line 24th on their insulation 25 when pressed into the insertion slot 10 to ensure. The connected so fixed Line 24 runs through one of the groove-like Wells 21 while their cut off End 27 lies in the other groove-like recess 21, as in detail with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16 will be explained. The width 23 and the depth of the groove-like depressions 21 and their axial length are dimensioned so that the cut off End of line 24 automatically a protection against accidental contact results. That means that the standardized feeler finger at the touch safety test not up to the bare cut end face of the end 27 of the line 24 in the depth of the associated groove-like Well 21 can penetrate. The metallic one Insulation displacement contact 16 itself is with its legs 15 in the grooves 13 of the insulating material housing 1 completely protected from the outside. It is in one such depth that even in the area of the insertion slot 10 absolute contact security given is.

In the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 of the housing 1 are on both sides of the Insertion slot 10 two aligned with each other groove-like depressions 21 provided, the width 23 and their depth much larger than the diameter the line 24 to be recorded. It is also conceivable one of the groove-like depressions 21 to leave out what is particularly worth considering, if the line 24 only through the contact zone is laid continuously.

A modified embodiment of the housing 1 8 shows a top view: in this embodiment is just a groove-like depression 21 available in the housing la on both sides by a pair of ribs 8 with an intermediate one Insertion slot 10 limited and therefore is designed like a chamber. The pairs of ribs 8 are in the housing 1a at each end integrally formed with the side walls 9a and with their insertion slots 10 on the longitudinal axis of the the above-mentioned chamber-forming groove-like depression 21 aligned.

8 are in the area of the two insertion slots 10 in the corresponding pairs of ribs 8 each grooves 13 molded in which the legs 15 two Insulation displacement contacts 16 corresponding to FIG. 3 are mounted elastically spread. Each Leg pair 15 delimits an insulation displacement slot 14, with the associated insertion slot 10 escapes. The embodiment according to FIG. 8 allows cutting off the contacted conductor immediately in the contact zone.

The insulation displacement contact 16 in the described embodiment only allows the production of the Contact with a pressed-in conductor 26 in the manner illustrated in FIG. 16, for example. Should the line 24 in the areas of the contact zone are cut off, this is done by means of own tool, like this in detail 13, 14 will be explained. But it is also possible in the housing 1 or 1a at least one cutting edge for one in one Arrange insulation displacement slot 10 pressed line 24. This can be done when the cable is pushed in these are cut off at the same time.

An example of this is illustrated in FIG. 9:

The one used in a housing 1, similar to Fig. 5 Insulation displacement contact 160 is with its two resilient metallic legs 150 in turn in the two grooves 13 stored expandable limited. He wears but on both sides of the legs 150 two upwards Cutting edges 28 that are slightly lateral Distance from the legs 150 across the insertion slot 10 run and formed on a U-shaped bent Leg parts 29 of the insulation displacement contact 160 are formed. The cutting edges 28 are at a certain distance above the floor 30 of the insertion slot 10, so that one from above line 24 pushed through the insertion slot 10 after contacting their conductor 26 in the Insulation displacement slot 14 finally down one of the cutting edges 28 pressed open and on this can be severed.

In Fig. 9 the two cutting edges are within the ribs 8, so that the line 24 with its cut surface still within the side of the insertion slot 10 remains. In principle, it is also conceivable the cutting edges 28 laterally a little further to move away from the legs 150 as possible is the insulation displacement contact 160 only one assign only cutting edge 8.

The terminal explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9 can, as already mentioned, as an independent terminal device various electrical devices, Switching and assembly elements, including electrical circuit boards. A An example of this is shown in Figs. 3, 10, at which two terminals with their housings 1 in already explained Way on the base plate of a magnetic Ballast 5 of a gas discharge lamp arranged are.

The connection terminals can also be used as multiple terminals be formed, as shown in FIG. 11 at 31st is shown in the form of a double terminal, which together with a single connection terminal 32, similar to the type shown in Fig. 1, on a Insulating material base 33 is arranged. To the Insulation material base 33 is a capacitor 34 attached, in a manner not shown with the insulation displacement contacts, for example the double connection terminal 31, is electrically connected. The Double terminal 31 has the basic same structure as that with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 explained terminal, only that two such terminals to one unit with each other are united, the two housings 1b by one Slot 34 are separated from each other, which is something about the depth of the groove-like depressions 21 extends and that on a common, molded, continuous base part 2b sit, in cross section 3 is designed.

Depending on the design and training of the to be connected electrical device or component the terminal device can also be an integrated one Be part of this device or component. A An example of this is shown in FIG. 12: a Lamp holder 35 for a rod-shaped gas discharge lamp has a mounting foot molded from plastic 36 on, in which the two housing 12 two basically designed according to FIGS. 1 to 7 Terminals are molded. The groove-like Wells 21 of the two terminal devices are with their axes transverse to the longitudinal extension of the gas discharge lamp to be inserted into the lamp holder 35 aligned. Their basic structure corresponds 1 to 7 and is therefore not again explained.

The new terminal device is special suitable for automated direct wiring designed. This is the following explained with reference to FIGS. 13, 14:

With automatic direct wiring, a at 37 only schematically shown in the detail Line laying tool, for example by one program-controlled, not shown Industrial robot, above a wire to be wired, pre-assembled electrical device along predetermined Moves tracks that correspond to the cable routing routes and between the individual connection points extend the electrical components. Each of these connection points has a connection terminal device such as that shown in Fig. 1 Kind on; it is in FIGS. 13, 14 with the upper part their housing 1 according to the illustration Fig. 5 indicated. The line laying tool 37 carries a rigid cable laying finger on its underside 38 rectangular cross-sectional shape, its width perpendicular to the plane of the drawing with the necessary Movement play of width 23 of the groove-like Indentation 21 corresponds (see FIG. 7). In the laying finger 38, a cable routing channel 39 is formed, which has a feed mechanism continuously withdrawn from a spool or the like electrical line is supplied and in one vertical side surface 40 opens at 41, such that the piece of line emerging from the mouth 41 24 horizontally in the manner shown in FIG. 13 is aligned.

At a lateral distance in front of the flat side surface 40 and aligned parallel to this is a stamp 42 provided on the line laying tool 37 is mounted up and down and the with a printing surface 43 on the from Mouth 41 protruding horizontal piece of the Line 24 can support. This is so one on the printing surface 43 and the other on the upper edge of the cable duct 39 securely supported in the area of its mouth 41.

Between the stamp 42 and the side surface 40 a space 44 is limited, the width is equal to or slightly larger than the width of the Ribs pair 8 of the housing 1. The stamp 42 itself has a rectangular cross-sectional shape on. Its width is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in the present case including the necessary play of the width of the insertion slot 10; but it can also according to the Width 23 of a groove-like depression 21 selected be.

With automatic direct wiring, this becomes Line laying tool 37 from the industrial robot in cooperation with sensor means exactly in the correct position above the housing 1 of the terminal device positioned at a junction, so that the whole assumes the position according to FIG. 13, in which the stamp 42 in its advanced Support position is.

Now the line laying tool 37 with his laying finger 38 moved vertically downwards, the laying finger 38 into the right groove-like Indentation 21 in the manner shown in FIG. 14 retracts from above, while the Stamp 42 in the left groove-like recess 21st and partially slides into the insertion slot 10. The insulation displacement contact 16 comes in the space 44 between the side surface 40 and the Stamp 42 to lie.

During this downward movement of the line laying tool 37 will that between the printing surface 43 and the top of the mouth 41 in two places on both sides the insulation displacement contact 16 held exactly and supported pipe section from above the insertion slot 10 into the insulation displacement slot 14 pressed in until it extends into extension 12 (Fig. 6) arrives and is locked in this. So that is proper contacting of the electrical Made conductor 26 on the insulation displacement contact 16, while the electrical insulation 25 of the line 24 between the opposing ribs 8 jammed laterally in the insertion slot 10 and with it being fixed. Line 24 is therefore not only contacted gastight, but also on their insulation 25 fixed strain relief (see. Fig. 16).

During this insertion movement of the line 24 into the insertion slot 10 and the insulation displacement slot 14 guaranteed the groove-like recess 21 a flawless exact lateral assignment of the laying finger 38 and of the stamp 42 to the two slots mentioned. Small assembly errors in the connection terminal device are automatically by the chamfers 22 balanced. The side faces of the. Deepening 21 act as guide surfaces.

If the line 24 is only at the junction be wired through, so after insertion the line 24 into the insertion slot 10 and Contacting the conductor 26 in the insulation displacement slot 14 only the stamp 42 in the line laying tool 37 up to an off-center rest position pulled back, whereupon the industrial robot the line laying tool 37 with its laying finger 38 along a preprogrammed path to the next junction with a similarly designed connection device brings that up accordingly Fig. 13 is driven. Doing so during this Movement movement of the line laying tool 37 the required cable length in sync with the Traversing movement via the cable duct 39 fed.

If the line 24 is cut off at the junction be, either at this junction Insulation displacement contacts 160 accordingly Fig. 9 are provided, at one of a cutting edge 28 the stamp 42 the conductor 26 after contacting cuts off by just putting it on the Cutting edge 28 presses on. Alternatively, however also a controlled on the line laying tool 37 Cutter blade 45 is used for this purpose on the side surface 40 and is mounted so that it can be moved Cutting edge 46 from that shown in FIG. 13 Rest position in a cut-off position according to Fig. 14 can be moved forward, in which the cutting edge 46 while cutting the line 24, the mouth 41st has crossed.

The cutting blade 45 is designed so that it in the groove-like recess 21 of the housing 1 Finds space. It then points to the cutting edge 46 an inclined surface 47, which at the cutting process on the insulation 25 in the insertion slot 10 clamped line end 27 bends down by almost 90 ° so that the exposed metallic cutting surface of the conductor 26 substantially towards the bottom of the recess 21 is directed as illustrated in Figs. 14, 15 is.

After the line 24 has been cut off the cutting blade 45 and the punch 42 again returned to their rest position; the line laying tool 37 drives from the junction away, the terminal device the condition 15.

Because the depth, width and length of the groove-like depression 21 are chosen so that the cut surface of the metallic conductor 26 is not touched from the outside with the end of the in Fig. 14 shown cutting process automatically Touch-proof storage of the cable end 27 guaranteed at the junction without it additional measures would be required.

Becomes a terminal in the embodiment 8 used, so comes the cut Line end 27 in the chamber-like recess 21 in which it is also kept safe to touch is, but at the same time the terminal device can be designed with a shorter overall length.

In addition, two can come from both sides Lines are contacted.
