Definitions

  • the invention relates to a power strip with a plurality of electrical sockets in a row arrangement, which are arranged on at least one upper, plug openings for housing elements to be connected to the plugs, and with a lower housing element, the housing elements together forming a housing containing the sockets.
  • socket outlets are commercially available. They often consist of two elongated housing halves, the sockets being mounted on one of the two housing halves or being integrally formed on them. Socket strips are often manufactured and offered in different lengths with a different number of sockets. It proves disadvantageous here that separate injection molds have to be produced for each length, which makes the manufacture costly due to the expensive injection molds, in particular if only relatively small quantities are produced for individual lengths. With integrally molded sockets, it also proves to be a disadvantage that different injection molds for different versions of sockets must also be produced for socket strips of the same length, that is to say for socket strips with the same number of sockets.
  • the lower housing element is formed from cut-to-length strand material, on which a number of upper housing elements corresponding to the length selected can be mounted.
  • socket strips can be produced with an almost arbitrarily variable number of sockets by cutting off the inexpensive strand material in a corresponding length and then mounting the desired upper housing elements with sockets. Only a smaller tool is required for the upper housing elements, which can each contain two sockets, for example.
  • This modular design not only allows the production of multiple socket outlets in various lengths, but also enables quick and inexpensive installation. If the socket strip is to be provided with a different type of socket, only a further smaller tool is required for this different type of upper housing elements. Different upper housing elements with different types of sockets can also be combined in almost any way on a socket strip, without this resulting in additional assembly effort.
  • the upper housing elements have means for connection to one another and are then assembled as an interconnected arrangement on the strand material.
  • connection means are preferably designed as plug-in and counter-plug elements on the abutting sides of the upper housing elements.
  • Busbars for the electrical connection of the sockets to each other also contribute to simple and quick installation.
  • the busbars are expediently designed to be insertable into corresponding contact arrangements of the sockets.
  • each busbar is designed to connect a contact arrangement of one of the upper housing elements with a contact arrangement of another of the upper housing elements.
  • Two additional busbars are then added for each additional housing element (each with two contacts of a socket).
  • the upper housing elements can be pushed onto the lower housing element, attached, snapped on or screwed on.
  • Guide slides and guide channels receiving these guide slats in the region of the longitudinal edges of the upper housing elements and free ends of the legs of the lower housing element have proven to be advantageous for pushing on the upper housing elements, the guide slides being pushed into the guide channels when the upper housing elements are slid onto the lower housing element become.
  • the guide strips expediently have an area which is wider than a passage slot toward the guide channel and extends in the guide channel, so that the upper housing elements prevent the legs of the lower housing element from being widened. This will improve the overall mechanical strength Power strip increased.
  • the lower housing element has in particular an essentially U-shaped cross section, and the upper housing elements are designed to cover the open long side of the lower housing element.
  • the predominant area of the entire housing is formed by the inexpensive strand material.
  • the sockets are integrally formed on the upper housing elements made of plastic.
  • the end faces of the power strip are expediently provided with end elements covering the housing, at least one of which has a cable passage opening in order to be able to insert the electrical connecting cable into the housing.
  • These end elements are advantageously designed to be snapped on or screwed on.
  • the strand material serving as the lower housing element has profile areas with a longitudinal channel for anchoring retaining screws.
  • the socket strip shown essentially consists of a lower housing element 10 which can be cut to any length and which has an essentially U-shaped cross section and is designed as an extruded material or profile rail.
  • Upper housing elements 11, 12 can be pushed onto this lower housing element 10.
  • 1 shows two different types of upper housing elements 11, 12.
  • the upper housing elements 11 essentially consist of an upper end plate 13, which covers the open longitudinal side of the lower housing element 10, on which two sockets 14 are integrally formed and, when assembled, extend into the interior of the socket strip.
  • such a socket 14 is only indicated schematically, since various designs are possible in a known manner, z.
  • sockets 14 for protective contact plugs are shown as an example.
  • Each end plate 13 has guide strips 15 on its two longitudinal edge regions, which can be inserted into corresponding guide channels 16 at the free ends of the two legs 17 of the lower housing element 10.
  • the guide strips 15 are widened in the interior of the guide channel 16 relative to the passage slot towards the guide channel, so that they cannot be pulled out of the guide channel 16 transversely to the longitudinal direction. This prevents the legs 17 from expanding and increases the strength of the housing formed by the lower housing element 10 and the upper housing elements 11, 12.
  • each upper housing element 11 has two sockets 14. It is of course also possible to produce upper housing elements 11 with only one socket or with a larger number of sockets. To simplify production, however, standardized upper housing elements 11 have proven to be cheap, and two sockets 14 per housing element 11 should represent a practical compromise.
  • Correspondingly modified upper housing elements 11 are produced for other standards or designs of sockets. In principle, it is also possible to lock the sockets 14 as separate elements in the end plate 13 or to connect them in another way.
  • the upper housing element 12 has a smaller end plate 18 with corresponding guide strips 15, on which an electrical switch 19 for switching the sockets 14 is arranged.
  • Such switches for switching the sockets are known in principle in socket strips, so that it is not necessary to go into detail about the electrical arrangement.
  • the upper housing element 12 with a switch 19 can still other specially designed upper housing elements 11 are provided and pushed onto the lower housing element 10.
  • such upper housing elements 11 can include a timer, a lightning protection device, a fuse, an overcurrent switch, a temperature switch or the like. exhibit. When sliding onto the lower housing element 10, the order is in principle irrelevant, that is to say that the housing elements designed as special designs can either be arranged at an end region or between the other housing elements 11.
  • Closing elements 20, 21 serve to close the front openings of the housing formed by the lower housing element 10 and the upper housing elements 11, 12. These are shown in the exemplary embodiment with a U-shaped profile, the connecting web between the U legs for closing the front openings of the housing. Of course, these end elements 20, 21 can also be shaped in any other way, e.g. as simple plates. In its central region, the terminating element 20 has a through opening (not visible in the perspective illustration of FIG. 1) for the passage of an electrical connecting cable 22.
  • the closure element 21 has on one of its legs a through opening 23 with a substantially T-shaped shape, which is used for screwing or hanging the power strip on the walls.
  • Retaining screws 24 are used to fasten the end elements 20, 21 to the lower housing element 10 and are screwed into the longitudinal housing elements 25 inside the lower housing element 10.
  • these profile elements 25 have longitudinal channels 26.
  • the number of upper housing elements 10 is almost arbitrary, and special designs, such as the upper housing element 12, can optionally be provided or omitted.
  • the lower housing element 10 is cut to length, and the upper housing elements 11, 12 can be pushed on after a preassembly to be described. Thereafter, only the end elements 20, 21 need to be screwed on, and instead of screwing on it is also possible to snap on. This also applies to the upper housing elements 11, 12, which can also be snapped on or screwed on instead of being pushed on.
  • the upper housing elements 11 are first folded and plugged together with the end plate 13 downward on the narrow sides according to FIG. 3.
  • the narrow edges of the end plates 13 according to FIG. 4 are provided with means for connection to one another.
  • One end plate 13 has a projecting ledge 27 on the end face, which engages in a corresponding groove in the other end plate 13.
  • This groove 28 is delimited at the bottom by a plate-like projection 29 which engages under the other end plate 13 and has slots 30 into which projections 31 on the underside of the left end plate 13 snap when plugged together.
  • the strips 27, grooves 28, projections 29, slots 30 and projections 31 can each extend essentially over the entire width of the end plates 13 or alternately over partial areas of this width.
  • contact arrangements 32 are plugged on, each contact arrangement 32 engaging over the two sockets 14 of an upper housing element 11.
  • Each contact arrangement 32 has two contact openings 33 for inserting plug pins of electrical plugs which are inserted into the sockets 14.
  • Corresponding depressions or elevations on the sockets 14 for positioning and fixing the contact arrangements 32 are not shown for simplification.
  • the contact arrangements 32 can either be locked with such depressions or elevations, or retaining elements for fixing these contact arrangements 32 can be snapped or screwed onto the sockets 14.
  • plug openings 34 in their central region, into which plug-in projections 35 from busbars 36 connecting the contact arrangements 32 can be inserted.
  • Each busbar 36 connects two contact arrangements 32 in this way, so that with a larger number of upper housing elements 11, a correspondingly larger number of busbars 36 can be inserted in a row arrangement.
  • busbars 36 it is also possible to produce such busbars 36 as a continuous metal strip and cut them to length depending on the number of upper housing elements 11.
  • the sockets 14 or contact arrangements 32 can either have screw terminals (not shown) or solder connections.
  • the sockets 14 each have a third connection, for example an earthing cable circuit or protective conductor connection, these connections can also be connected via contact arrangements 32 and busbars 36.
  • Corresponding clamping screw or solder connections can of course also be connected to one another via cables.
  • the areas of the end elements 20, 21 which rest against the edges of the end plates 13 of the upper housing elements 11 can also be equipped with connecting means according to FIG. 4 for latching.
  • the lower housing element 10 can also have stiffening means. 2, such stiffening means are designed as web elements 37 connecting the legs 17 to the lower wall.
  • the walls of the lower housing element 10 can be structured in a manner not shown, for example corrugated or have a meandering structure.
