Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrotechnical installation device in modular construction, for example a socket, switch or push button, on which parts for additional functions are designed as pluggable modules.
  • a socket in the version as a SCHUKO socket is known (DE-C2-3 828 177).
  • the invention has for its object to generally develop an electrotechnical installation device in modular design, which allows the pluggable modules to be contacted for additional functions in a particularly assembly-friendly technology.
  • the plug-in modules for additional functions can be electrically contacted by spring-loaded contacting on current-carrying parts which are already present. In assembly, it is sufficient to insert the module, whereby it is also electrically contacted.
  • the spring-loaded contact can be made by spring-loaded contacts or contact bodies and / or by resilient pin receptacles. The pins are intended to allow insertion and allow a variety of designs.
  • the spring-loaded contacts can be used as coil springs made of electrically conductive material, for example made of spring bronze. These can each work against insertable plug pins of a plug. When a connector is connected, the module is then electrically contacted at the same time.
  • the spring-loaded contacts can be designed as pin-shaped bodies which are spring-loaded against a part of the module.
  • At least one screwless clamp can have a recess in its clamp housing or in an electrically conductive metal part of an assembly containing the screwless clamp, into which a conical pin-shaped body can engage as a spring-loaded contact.
  • a construction oxide skins are torn open at the hole-shaped recess, so that there is a particularly reliable contact.
  • a mechanically particularly stable contact is also achieved here.
  • the spring-loaded contacts can also be designed as spring bodies themselves.
  • the electrical installation device 1 according to FIG. 1 is illustrated as a modular socket on a flush-mounted box 2. Additional functions can be provided to the installation device by a plug-in module 3. Electronic components such as circuit boards or chips can be accommodated in module 3.
  • the electrical contact for the module is achieved in each case by spring-loaded contacts 4 when a plug pin 5 of a plug 6 is inserted.
  • the spring-loaded contact 4 is designed as a helical spring 7 made of electrically conductive material. Spring bronze, for example, is suitable for this.
  • screwless terminals 8 are used for conductors to be connected for making contact with module 3.
  • the spring-loaded contact 4 is in each case designed as a helical spring, which can bear against the screwless terminal 8 at one point on the metal housing 9 and make contact.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the contacting on a screwless terminal 8 for connection to a socket 10 and in FIG. 3 the contacting for the module on the screwless terminal for connecting a protective contact bracket 13.
  • the spring-loaded contacts are each designed as a pin-shaped body 11 which are spring-loaded against a part of the module by means of a spring 12.
  • FIG. 4 shows the contact for the module for the screwless connection terminal 8 for a socket 10 and in FIG. 5 for the screwless terminal 8 for a protective contact clip 13.
  • the structure of the screwless terminals 8 is well known.
  • a Contact spring 14 is arranged in a metal housing 9 and can clamp a conductor to be inserted in the insertion opening 15. If one actuates a release lever 16, an inserted conductor can be removed again. Compare FIG. 5.
  • At least one screwless terminal 8 has a recess 18 in its terminal housing, into which a conical pin-shaped body 17 can engage in a spreading manner as a spring-loaded contact 4. Under spreading is to be understood here that the conical pin-shaped body 17 can be inserted into the recess 18 until it jams in the recess 18.
  • the module 3 can also be held in a known manner by means of latching brackets on the installation device.
  • FIG. 6 can also be carried out according to FIG. 7, according to which the contact for the module 3 is made by a spring 19 shaped in the form of a pin, which spreads out against the metal housing of the screwless terminal 8.
  • the pin-shaped spring 19 is formed, for example, from a leaf spring which is fastened in a snap-in manner in the ribs 20 of the module housing. In a relaxed form, the leaf spring can have the outer profile of an "A".
  • the spring-loaded contact is designed in principle as a pin-shaped spring 19 in the form of a sleeve sector, wherein the spring can look crescent-shaped when viewed from above. Spring backs and spring edges can spread out in a slot in the metal housing of the screwless clamp 8.
  • the pin-shaped spring 19 can engage in ribs 20 of the module housing with a sawtooth-shaped edge and be held therein.
  • the spring-loaded contact is made by a rigid pin-shaped body 22 in a spring-loaded pin receptacle 23. This can be formed by a cross step in the contact spring 14 of the screwless terminal 8.
