Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Anschlußmodul gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a connection module according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Anschlußmodul der gattungsgemäßen Art ist bereits bekannt (Prospekt der Firma Quante Aktiengesellschaft, Uellendahler Str. 353, D-42109 Wuppertal 1:
"Connection Moduls MX"). Mit dem bekannten Anschlußmodul ist der Anschluß von ankommenden Adern und von abgehenden Adern nur mit einer eng begrenzten Drahtdurchmesserbandbreite möglich. Es ist insbesondere nachteilig, daß infolge der Bauweise der im Modul angeordneten Kontakte keine größere Bandbreite von Drahtdurchmessern hintereinander anschließbar ist. Der Anschluß von Freiluftkabeln (Dropwire) mit größeren Drahtdurchmessern ist nicht möglich bzw. der Anschluß von kleineren Drahtdurchmessern nach dem vorherigen mehrmaligen Anschluß von größeren Drahtdurchmessern ist infolge der unflexiblen Kontaktgestaltung nicht gewährleistet.A connection module of the generic type is already known (brochure from Quante Aktiengesellschaft, Uellendahler Str. 353, D-42109 Wuppertal 1:
"MX Connection Module"). With the known connection module, the connection of incoming wires and of outgoing wires is only possible with a narrowly limited wire diameter bandwidth possible. It is particularly disadvantageous that, owing to the construction of the contacts arranged in the module, no larger bandwidth of wire diameters can be connected in succession. The connection of outdoor cables (Dropwire) with larger wire diameters is not possible or the connection of smaller wire diameters after the previous multiple connection of larger wire diameters is not guaranteed due to the inflexible contact design.

Ein Mehrfachkontakt zum Anschluß von zwei ankommenden und zwei abgehenden Adern ist aus der DE 31 37 429 C2 bekannt. Die Kontakte sind Schneid-Klemm-Anschlußkontakte und bestehen aus blattförmigem, federndem Kontaktmaterial, dessen Blattfläche schräg zur Leiteranschlußrichtung und parallel zum jeweiligen Nachbarelement angeordnet ist. Die Anschlußkontakte sind im unteren Bereich mit im Querschnitt U-förmigen Verbindungsstellen versehen. Es sind des weiteren unterhalb der Anschlußkontakte Verlängerungen angeformt.A multiple contact for connecting two incoming and two outgoing wires is known from DE 31 37 429 C2. The contacts are insulation displacement connection contacts and consist of leaf-shaped, springy contact material, the leaf surface of which is arranged obliquely to the conductor connection direction and parallel to the respective neighboring element. The connection contacts are provided in the lower area with cross-sectionally U-shaped connection points. Extensions are also formed below the connection contacts.

Nachteilig ist es bei diesen bekannten Mehrfachkontakten, daß an eine Kontaktausführung nur ein eng begrenzter Bereich von Drahtdurchmessern angeschlossen werden kann. Es ist nicht möglich, nach dem mehrmaligen Anschluß eines größeren Drahtdurchmessers, hinterher einen kleineren Drahtdurchmesser anzuschließen, da die Kontaktgeometrie nicht die dazu notwendige Flexibilität der Kontakte gewährleistet.It is a disadvantage of these known multiple contacts that only a narrow range of wire diameters can be connected to a contact design. It is not possible to connect a smaller wire diameter after the repeated connection of a larger wire diameter, since the contact geometry does not guarantee the necessary flexibility of the contacts.

Der Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Anschlußmodul der gattungsgemäßen Art zu entwickeln, an welches wahlweise Kabeladern mit unterschiedlichem Drahtdurchmesser in großer Bandbreite anschließbar sind.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a connection module of the generic type to which optional cable cores with different wire diameters can be connected over a wide range.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1.The solution to this problem results from the characterizing features of claim 1.

Das Anschlußmodul ermöglicht es, ohne Einsatz von Spezialwerkzeugen kunststoffisolierte Drähte und Freiluftkabel mit Hilfe einer Schneid-Klemmkontakt-Anordnung miteinander zu verbinden und durch Lösen einer Rastvorrichtung voneinander zu trennen und getrennt zu prüfen. Die Kontakte auf der Grundplatte erlauben das Aufbringen von zum Beispiel Überspannungsableitern. Die Kontaktkammern sind gegen korrosive Atmosphäre und Feuchtigkeit geschützt. Das Anschlußmodul kann in einfacher Weise auf handelsübliche Profilschienen aufgerastet werden. Bei der Montage mehrerer Anschlußmodule als Block nebeneinander können einzelne Anschlußmodule aus der Profilschiene einfach herausgenommen und auch neu eingesetzt werden, ohne daß die daneben liegenden Anschlußmodule in ihrer Funktion beeinträchtigt werden. Die Kontaktanordnungen gewährleisten die Möglichkeit des Anschlusses einer großen Bandbreite von Drahtdurchmessern.The connection module makes it possible to connect plastic-insulated wires and outdoor cables with the help of an insulation displacement contact arrangement without the use of special tools and to separate and test them separately by releasing a locking device. The contacts on the base plate allow, for example, surge arresters to be attached. The contact chambers are protected against corrosive atmosphere and moisture. The connection module can easily be snapped onto standard rails. When several connection modules are assembled as a block next to one another, individual connection modules can simply be removed from the mounting rail and also be reinserted without the function of the adjacent connection modules being impaired. The contact arrangements ensure the possibility of connecting a wide range of wire diameters.

Mit der vorliegenden Kontaktgestaltung können sowohl Drähte mit einem geringen Durchmesser als auch Freiluftkabel (Dropwire) mit größerem Drahtdurchmesser kontaktiert werden. Es können mehrmals hintereinander große Drahtdurchmesser und anschließend geringere Drahtdurchmesser beschaltet werden.With this contact design, both wires with a small diameter and outdoor cables (Dropwire) with larger wire diameters can be used be contacted. Large wire diameters and then smaller wire diameters can be connected several times in succession.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Das Anschlußmodul 1 besteht gemäß der Fig. 1 aus einem Druckstück 2 mit einer Kunststoffschraube 3, einem Zwischenstück 4 und einer Grundplatte 5. Die Grundplatte 5 und das Zwischenstück 4 sind durch eine Rastvorrichtung 13 miteinander lösbar verbunden. Das Druckstück 2 mit der Kunststoffschraube 3 ist in das Zwischenstück 4 integriert. Nach dem Zusammenbau sind das Druckstück 2 und das Zwischenstück 4 miteinander nahezu unlösbar verbunden und nur in einem eng begrenzten Bereich gegeneinander verschiebbar. Die Grundplatte 5 ist mit einer Rasteinrichtung 14 (Fig.2) versehen, über die das Anschlußmodul 1 auf eine nicht dargestellte handelsübliche Profilschiene aufgerastet wird.According to FIG. 1, the connection module 1 consists of a pressure piece 2 with a plastic screw 3, an intermediate piece 4 and a base plate 5. The base plate 5 and the intermediate piece 4 are detachably connected to one another by a latching device 13. The pressure piece 2 with the plastic screw 3 is integrated in the intermediate piece 4. After assembly, the pressure piece 2 and the intermediate piece 4 are connected to one another almost inextricably and can only be displaced relative to one another in a narrowly limited area. The base plate 5 is provided with a latching device 14 (FIG. 2), by means of which the connection module 1 is snapped onto a commercially available profile rail, not shown.

Wie die Fig.2 zeigt werden in das Druckstück 2 über die Öffnungen 9 die nicht dargestellten abgehenden Adern in zwei getrennten Kontaktkammern 11,12 eingeführt. Mit Hilfe der Kunststoffschraube 3 und des Druckstückes 2 werden die abgehenden Adern geradlinig nach unten in das Zwischenstück 4 bewegt. Dabei durchdringen die im Zwischenstück 4 fest angeordneten Kontaktelemente 6,7 des Doppelkontaktes 20 (Fig.3,4) die Isolierung der abgehenden Adern und kontaktieren die jeweiligen Drähte gasdicht.As FIG. 2 shows, the outgoing wires (not shown) are introduced into the pressure piece 2 via the openings 9 in two separate contact chambers 11, 12. With the help of the plastic screw 3 and the pressure piece 2, the outgoing wires are moved straight down into the intermediate piece 4. The contact elements 6, 7 of the double contact 20 (FIG. 3, 4) fixedly arranged in the intermediate piece 4 penetrate the insulation of the outgoing wires and contact the respective wires in a gas-tight manner.

Die Kontaktelemente 6,7 sind entsprechend der Darstellung in den Fig.3 und 4 einstückig als Doppelkontakt 20 ausgeführt. Das Kontaktelement 6 ist ein geschlossener Gabelkontakt, der sich zur Drahtachse 22 der abgehenden Adern in 90 °-Stellung befindet. Das Kontaktelement 7 ist aus einem um 30 ° schräg gesetzten Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt gebildet. An der Verbindungsstelle zwischen den beiden Kontaktelementen 6,7 ist ein Abgriff 18 mit einer herausgebogenen Rastlasche 15 angeordnet.The contact elements 6, 7 are designed in one piece as a double contact 20, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The contact element 6 is a closed fork contact, which is located at 90 ° to the wire axis 22 of the outgoing wires. The contact element 7 is made of a set at an angle of 30 ° Insulation displacement contact formed. At the connection point between the two contact elements 6, 7, a tap 18 with a bent-out latching tab 15 is arranged.

Die Kontakte 8 nach der Darstellung in der Fig. 5 sind für die ankommenden Adern in der Grundplatte 5 angeordnet. Die ankommenden Adern werden über die Öffnungen 10 (Fig.1) an die Kontakte 8 herangeführt. Die Kontakte 8 sind als Schneid-Klemm-Kontakte 19 ausgebildet. Als Anschaltewerkzeug dient hier ein besonders geformter Ansatz 17 am Zwischenstück 4 (Fig.2). Die Kontakte 8 in der Grundplatte 5 greifen gabelförmig um den Abgriff 18 des Doppelkontaktes 20 im Zwischenstück 4 (Fig.3), so daß eine elektrische Verbindung entsteht.The contacts 8 as shown in FIG. 5 are arranged in the base plate 5 for the incoming wires. The incoming wires are brought to contacts 8 via openings 10 (FIG. 1). The contacts 8 are designed as insulation displacement contacts 19. A specially shaped extension 17 on the intermediate piece 4 (FIG. 2) serves as the connecting tool. The contacts 8 in the base plate 5 reach in a fork-like manner around the tap 18 of the double contact 20 in the intermediate piece 4 (FIG. 3), so that an electrical connection is created.

Durch die besondere Gestaltung der Kontaktelemente 6,7 entsprechend den Fig.3 und 4 als Doppelkontakt 20 können sowohl Adern mit einem Drahtdurchmesser von 0,4 mm bis 0,8 mm als auch Dropwire mit einem Drahtdurchmesser von 0,7 mm bis 1,3 mm gasdicht kontaktiert werden. Es können mehrmals hintereinander Dropwire bis maximal 1,3 mm Drahtdurchmesser und anschließend, nach dem Auswechseln dieser Drähte, dünnere Drähte bis minimal 0,4 mm Drahtdurchmesser beschaltet werden. Die Adern mit dem größeren Drahtdurchmesser werden durch den Gabelkontakt des Kontaktelementes 6 beschaltet, die Adern mit dem kleineren Drahtdurchmesser werden durch den Gabelkontakt des Kontaktelementes 6 hindurchgeführt und an dem Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt des Kontaktelementes 7 beschaltet. Der Gabelkontakt wirkt in diesem Falle als Klemmrippe und sichert die Lage des Drahtes zusätzlich.Due to the special design of the contact elements 6, 7 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 as a double contact 20, both wires with a wire diameter of 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm and Dropwire with a wire diameter of 0.7 mm to 1.3 can be used mm can be contacted gastight. Dropwire up to a maximum of 1.3 mm wire diameter can be connected several times and then, after replacing these wires, thinner wires up to a minimum of 0.4 mm wire diameter can be connected. The wires with the larger wire diameter are connected by the fork contact of the contact element 6, the wires with the smaller wire diameter are passed through the fork contact of the contact element 6 and connected to the insulation displacement contact of the contact element 7. The fork contact works in this case as a clamping rib and additionally secures the position of the wire.

Das Zwischenstück 4 kann aus der Grundplatte 5 (Fig.1,2) so entrastet werden, daß die Teile mit den jeweiligen Kontakten 20 und 8 voneinander getrennt werden und somit eine Trennung der elektrischen Kontakte 8 der ankommenden Adern von den Kontaktelementen 6,7 der abgehenden Adern durchgeführt werden kann. Im getrennten Zustand können beide Seiten der Verbindung unabhängig voneinander geprüft werden.The intermediate piece 4 can be unlocked from the base plate 5 (FIG. 1, 2) in such a way that the parts with the respective contacts 20 and 8 are separated from one another and thus a separation of the electrical contacts 8 of the incoming wires from the contact elements 6, 7 outgoing veins can be performed. When disconnected, both sides of the connection can be checked independently.

Auf die Kontakte 8 in der Grundplatte 5 kann ein gesondertes Funktionselement, beispielsweise ein Überspannungsableiter zur Sicherung des Anschlußmoduls 1 gegen Überspannungen, in der Kammer 16 (Fig.2) aufgesteckt werden.A separate functional element, for example a surge arrester for securing the connection module 1 against overvoltages, can be plugged onto the contacts 8 in the base plate 5 in the chamber 16 (FIG. 2).

Das Anschlußmodul 1 kann auf handelsübliche Profilschienen mittels der Rasteinrichtung 14 aufgerastet werden. Bei der Montage von mehreren Anschlußmodulen 1 als Block nebeneinander können einzelne Anschlußmodule 1 aus der Profilschiene mit einem Schraubendreher oder dgl. entfernt und neu eingesetzt werden, ohne daß die daneben liegenden Anschlußmodule 1 in ihrer Funktion beeinträchtigt werden.The connection module 1 can be snapped onto standard rails by means of the locking device 14. When installing several connection modules 1 as a block next to each other, individual connection modules 1 can be removed from the mounting rail with a screwdriver or the like and reinserted without the function of the adjacent connection modules 1.

Das Druckstück 2 ist zur optischen Kontrolle einer einwandfreien Kontaktierung aus transparentem Kunststoff hergestellt.The pressure piece 2 is made of transparent plastic for optical control of a perfect contact.

Die Kontaktkammern 11,12 im Druckstück 2 und die Kontaktkammer in der Grundplatte 5 sind zum zusätzlichen Schutz gegen korrosive Atmosphäre und Feuchtigkeit mit Fett gefüllt.The contact chambers 11, 12 in the pressure piece 2 and the contact chamber in the base plate 5 are filled with grease for additional protection against corrosive atmosphere and moisture.

Der Doppelkontakt 20 wird vorzugsweise aus versilbertem Sondermessing gefertigt.The double contact 20 is preferably made of silver-plated special brass.
