Definitions

  • clamps For the direct connection of single-wire or multi-wire cable conductors to a rail, e.g. Busbar, or on an electrical device, such clamps can be used.
  • the disadvantage of most known clamp structures is that only a very small area of the stepped cross sections can be mastered by one and the same clamp structure.
  • a clamp structure of the type mentioned is known.
  • the pressure piece is reversible, but inserted loosely and is held in the operating position by four holders formed on the corners and guided when it is locked.
  • the pressure piece has two concavely curved, corrugated surfaces of different radius of curvature.
  • the clamping area of the known clamping structure should be increased.
  • the fitter cannot determine from which border area the pressure piece should be turned.
  • the assembly is e.g. in the cable duct at a construction site and especially in difficult weather very complicated. When turning the pressure piece, it can fall out and get lost.
  • the clamping cage is also disadvantageously U-shaped in cross-section with lateral recesses into which claws of a bridge reach, which is penetrated by the pressure bolt.
  • the bridge screwed to the pressure pin can also be lost, which makes the use and handling of the known clamping structure considerably more difficult.
  • the range of cable cross-sections that can be processed and controlled by this known clamping structure is narrower than the expert is fond of, in the case of a position of the pressure plate, for example, between 50 mm2 and 95 mm2 SM; and in the other position from 95 mm2 to 240 mm2, provided the fitter recognizes and uses the optimal positions.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to improve a clamp structure of the type mentioned in such a way that the entire range of cable cross sections is covered and the assembly is facilitated, so that different consumers can be wired using the same type of clamp structure.
  • At least one recess is provided on each side in the upper edge of the V-shaped part of the connecting rail, into which claws attached to the outer sides of the pressure piece can enter in order to increase the distance between the corrugated surface of the connecting rail and the To reduce the front clamping area of the pressure piece.
  • the gripping surface for smaller cables is located where two recesses lie opposite one another, i.e. the width in plan view of the bottom of the V-shaped part is smaller, while next to where no recesses are provided in the V-shaped part and therefore the external distance the projection in plan view of the bottom is larger, there are the clamping areas for cables with large cross sections.
  • cable cross-sections with a span of 16 mm2 RE (round solid) cable cross-sections up to 240 mm2 SM (multi-strand sector) cable cross-section can be clamped and processed in the desired manner. The entire range of cable cross-sections is thus mastered.
  • the assembly with the new clamp structure is considerably simplified compared to the known devices.
  • a recess is provided between the claw of the pressure piece and its preferably curved front clamping surface.
  • Mastering the large cross-sectional area of the cables in the sense explained above means that both cables from the larger cross-sectional area and those of the lower cross-sectional sizes can be gripped, gripped and clamped correctly, firmly and reliably from several sides. Due to the recesses in the V-shaped part of the connecting rail on the one hand and the claws on the pressure piece on the other hand, the range of variability has been fundamentally enlarged. The last-mentioned additional recess between the claw of the pressure piece and its front clamping surface creates additional measures in order to move the pressure piece even closer to the connecting rail and to clamp the cable located between them. Smallest to largest cables can be processed with the new clamp structure without conversions of the device according to the invention, which can sometimes be very difficult to carry out on site for the fitter.
  • the side cheeks of the front clamping surface of the pressure piece have V-shaped bevels.
  • the pressure piece can then dive even deeper within the V-shaped part of the connecting rail.
  • V-shaped bevels on thrust pieces are known per se, the accommodation of such bevels can be accomplished despite the claws according to the invention, about which the person skilled in the art could have been concerned.
  • the largest cable cross-sections of the available area can be detected, because the pressure piece with the claw can be pulled back under the bridge of the clamping cage and the cable with a large cross-section can be plugged in between; and at the same time, conductors with the smallest cross-section can be processed, because the pressure piece can be brought close to the V-shaped part of the connecting rail by means of several measures which interact with one another in a combinatorial manner.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the pressure piece is approximately square in plan view and in each of the four corner areas has a claw projecting from the edge and directed towards the upper edges of the connecting rail and that four recesses are arranged accordingly in the upper edge of the connecting rail .
  • four claws are attached in the outer corners of the pressure piece, which results in a good clamping effect without undesirable tilting forces.
  • the wide or large area of the corrugated surface for the large cable cross-sections is then in the middle (again looking at the bottom of the connecting bar in plan view); while the recesses are outside the central area, i.e. four recesses (two on each side) are provided.
  • the clamping forces are well distributed in this structure, and high forces can also be achieved.
  • recesses are provided in the clamping cage in the area under the cutout in the upper edge of the connecting rail.
  • the claws can then engage in these recesses in the clamping cage if conductors with a small cross section are to be clamped.
  • the claws of the pressure piece then reach through the recesses in the upper edge of the connecting rail and into the recesses in the clamping cage. Without these recesses in the clamping cage, the front sides of the claws would hit the inside of the clamping cage and limit further movement of the pressure piece to the bottom of the connecting rail.
  • the recesses in the clamping cage create space here for a further advantageous enlargement of the range of movement of the pressure piece in the clamping cage.
  • a stop edge running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the base of the V-shaped part is provided in the outer region of the connecting rail at the transition to its V-shaped part on each of the two sides.
  • a connecting bar in the form of a flat tongue the last 25 mm of which is embossed into the part of the connecting bar which is V-shaped in cross section. Then this V-shaped part is formed in one piece with the connecting rail.
  • a cut or stamping is expediently made so that the V-shaped part appears as welded or glued to the plate-shaped part.
  • the plate-shaped part of the connecting rail is thus cut along a cross-sectional plane, from the outside to the edge where the underside of the V-shaped part begins, and symmetrically on both sides of the longitudinal center line of the base of the V-shaped part.
  • the abovementioned stop edge is now in the imaginary cross-sectional plane just mentioned.
  • V-shape of the bottom of the clamping cage is adapted to the V-shape of the connecting rail, as is assumed here, then this strikes through the cutting / punching / embossing or the like to form the V-shaped part of the connecting rail when the stop edge is inserted V-shaped part in the clamping cage against its end faces. This immediately gives the clamping cage an exact positioning in relation to the connecting rail. This further considerably simplifies the assembly of the clamp structure according to the invention.
  • the pressure piece is preferably riveted to the front end of the pressure bolt via a pressure plate
  • the assembly is further improved because there are no captive parts of the clamping structure. Rather, the clamping structure is brought as a part to the connecting rail and clamped together with the cable conductor. Nevertheless, the pressure pin is of course rotatable, especially since it is screwed through the bridge of the clamping cage (opposite the bottom) in a manner known per se by thread engagement.
  • the pressure bolt passing through the bridge has an external thread and an internal hexagon at the top, so that the entire clamping structure is compact.
  • the pressure piece remains non-rotatably engaged on the cable conductor, and the pressure plate interposed preferably ensures a good distribution of the pressure forces transmitted from the pressure pin to the pressure piece.
  • connection rails 2 The clamping structure of the embodiments shown here is used to connect cables, generally designated for all embodiments, to connection rails 2.
  • a multi-wire conductor 1 is shown, while the conductor 1 is solid in the other embodiments, albeit sector-shaped (FIGS 2 and 10) and round ( Figures 9, 11 and 13).
  • the connecting rail 2 shown in plan view in FIGS. 4, 5 and 7 consists of a plate-shaped part 3, shown broken off at the top, and a part 4, which is integrally connected to it and is formed by embossing in a V-shape, with a corrugated surface.
  • the base 5 of the V-shaped part 4 of the connecting bar 2 is embossed with a smaller radius of curvature, so that here cable conductors are small, for example for a 90 ° sector or round cable conductors 11 and 13 can be recorded as comprehensively as possible, while the upper neighboring areas of the V-shaped part 4 are suitable, for example, for SE cable conductors or SM cable conductors with a sector of 120 ° (see FIGS. 1 and 2).
  • the cable conductor 1 is pressed from above through the pressure piece 6 into the V-shaped part 4 of the connecting rail 2, namely by the pressure force of the pressure bolt 7, which is screwed with an external thread through the bridge 8 of the clamping cage 9 and against which the V- Form of the connecting rail 2 adapted base 10 of the clamping cage 9 presses.
  • the pressure piece 6 is rotatably riveted via a pressure plate, a tensioning disk or a spring ring 12.
  • the pressure piece 6 shown in plan view for better comparison is now considered with reference to FIGS. 6 and 8 (different embodiments).
  • Attached claws 18, 18 ' can be seen on the outer sides 17 of the pressure piece 6.
  • the pressure piece 6 is approximately square in this plan view and has four claws 18, 18 ', one in each of the four corner regions.
  • Each claw 18, 18 ' protrudes from the outer sides 17 and is directed towards the upper edges 15 of the connecting bar 2.
  • the four claws 18, 18 ' engage in the four recesses 16, 16' of the connecting bar 2; and in the other embodiment of FIG. 8, the two more claws 18 arranged in the middle engage in the correspondingly arranged recesses 16 of the V-shaped part 4 of the connecting bar 2.
  • the front clamping surface 19 of the pressure piece 6 can be seen in FIG. 12, which is slightly concavely curved with a larger radius of curvature than the curvature on the base 5 of the opposite V-shaped part 4 of the connecting bar 2.
  • the curvature of this front clamping surface 19 can also be different.
  • Figure 13 one can see a somewhat stronger curvature with a smaller radius of curvature of the front clamping surface 19. In this embodiment, particularly small cable conductors are effectively clamped.
  • the pressure piece 6 in the front view of FIGS. 1, 2 and 9 to 13 has at least one recess 20 on each side of its center. This is clearly pronounced in all the embodiments of FIGS. 9 to 13, and in the assembled state of a multi-wire cable conductor 1 shown in FIG. 1, one can even see that some wires are pressed into these recesses 20 during clamping. Although this is not the purpose of these recesses 20, it does not prevent effective clamping of the cable conductor 1 by the clamping structure.
  • the purpose of the recess 20 on the front clamping surface 19, which is preferably arranged in each case between a claw 18 and the front clamping surface 19, is in the case of small cable conductors 1 also to ensure that they are clamped in an effective manner in that the pressure piece 6 - even when stronger curved front clamping surface 19 - can plunge deeply downwards in the direction of the base 5 of the V-shaped part 4 of the connecting bar 2. It can be seen clearly in the embodiments of FIGS. 10 to 13 that the front end of the claws 18 can dip particularly well into the recesses 16, 16 'of the connecting rail 2 because the front clamping surface 19 does not abut against other surfaces of the V-shaped part 4 .
  • the pressure piece 6 with its claws 18 can be , 18 'not only past the recesses 16, 16' of the connecting rail but also into the Retract recesses 22 in the clamping cage 9 without a disturbing bumping would prevent the pressure piece from being lowered further to the base 5 of the connecting rail 2.
  • the stop edges 23, which can best be seen in the plan view of FIG. 5, are also particularly suitable for this purpose, but also in the front view in Figure 3.
  • the end face 24 of the clamping cage 9 is flat and lies transversely to its longitudinal central axis, which in the embodiments of FIGS. 1, 2 and 9 to 13 is perpendicular to the paper plane.
  • the longitudinal direction 14 of the base 5 is indicated in FIGS.
