Definitions

  • the invention relates to a terminal connection housing, in particular a connector housing.
  • Installation housings of this type as are also used in line circuit breakers and residual current circuit breakers or in other devices which can be arranged on mounting rails, are usually riveted or screwed together.
  • installation housings for devices in building system technology are described with strain relief means for cables to be inserted in order to relieve them against tension at terminals, as are common in general installation technology.
  • conventional strain relief devices could not be used here.
  • the installation housing according to the European patent application has the following features. It is closed by a lid. A molded part is inserted between the side walls and forms a clamping lip for clamping a line to counter-clamping areas. The molded part has a clamping plane in which opposing gripping tabs of the walls are clamped by the arms of the molded part engaging behind them.
  • the molded part is secured against tilting by means of guides on the molded part and on the walls of the installation housing.
  • gripping edges are, for example, staircase-shaped.
  • the molded part can be connected to a Reach behind the tool in the manner of a screwdriver and lift it out or pry it out by resting on the edges of the housing.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a terminal connection housing, in which the lines to be connected are provided in a simple manner and without additional aids for strain relief and at the same time preventing one or more lines from falling out of the terminals.
  • the terminal connection housing has at least one chamber, which is essentially formed by a lower part and a chamber cover.
  • the lower part has on one side resilient tongues forming a gap for the passage of the lines. Ribs on the chamber cover are engaged with the lower part in such a way that the ribs exert a force narrowing the gap on the tongues.
  • the terminal connection housing provided with these features is easy to manufacture and also represents a space-saving design.
  • the individual tongue parts can be used to individually hold single or multiple lines.
  • the force exerted by the tongue parts on the lines is, for example, dependent on the respective line diameter, thicker lines only widening the tongue parts acting on them, so that the gap between adjacent tongue parts is not widened for thinner lines, which would reduce the holding force for these .
  • An increased effect of the tongue parts is achieved if the ribs adapt to the divided Tongues are divided. This results in independent clamping areas.
  • a clamping block with multiple clamps is provided in the chamber, which is fastened via a dovetail connection.
  • the fastening of the chamber cover can be achieved in a simple manner in that the chamber cover has a side wall with a snap nose.
  • terminal housing e.g. a connector housing
  • Is the terminal housing e.g. a connector housing
  • FIG. 1 shows a connector housing 20 as a terminal connection housing with four chambers 1 for the terminal connection of lines 8.
  • the section through the connector housing 20 is shown for simplification only for the left part with a chamber 1. However, the other three chambers 1 are the same built up, so that a detailed representation for them was omitted.
  • the lower part 3 belonging to the formation of the chamber 1 is provided with resilient tongues 2 on the line insertion side. Clamping blocks with multiple clamps 22 can be inserted into the chambers 1 (see FIG. 2, 3), which are fastened to the lower part 3 via a dovetail connection 4, 5.
  • the multiple terminals 22 can be plugged onto contact pins 6 in the chamber 1, which are contacted on a circuit board 7 on the bottom of the connector housing 20.
  • the resilient tongues 2 each consist of two tongue parts.
  • the top view according to FIG. 2 shows that the spring tongues 2 form two gaps 21 for the passage of the lines 8 to the multiple terminals 22 in the chamber 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows a terminal block with multiple terminals 22.
  • Each terminal half of the terminal block can accommodate four lines 8 one above the other.
  • the two clamping halves are connected to each other in pairs by a dovetail.
  • the resilient tongues 2 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 prevent the lines 8 from falling out of the multiple terminals 22.
  • the pressure of the resilient tongues 2 on the lines 8 located in the columns 21 is increased by fitting a chamber cover 11 according to FIG.
  • the chamber cover 11 has ribs 10 which are in engagement with the tongues 2 and press the outer edges of the tongues 2 in the direction of a narrowing of the gap.
  • the chamber cover 11 also has a guide rib 16 which slides into an adapted recess when the chamber cover 11 is pushed onto the lower part 3 and in this way for the correct engagement of the ribs 10 in the tongues 2 cares.
  • 5 shows the chamber cover 11 in a different perspective, in which both the guide rib 16 and the ribs 10 are visible. As shown here, the ribs 10 and the tongues 2 can be subdivided, as a result of which holding forces on the lines 8 of different strengths can be achieved for the different areas.
  • the chamber covers for the four chambers of the connector housing 20 according to FIG. 1 are constructed in the same way as described above. A simplification of the multiple coverage of several chambers 1 is possible by using a correspondingly constructed multiple cover in which the above-described features (10, 16, 18) of the chamber cover 11 are combined for several chambers 1.
