Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Anschlußklemmenblock mit einem damit elektrisch und mechanisch steckverbindbaren Elektronikmodul und einer an dem Elektronikmodul angebrachten Trenneinrichtung in der elektrisch leitenden Verbindung zwischen dem Anschlußklemmenblock und dem Elektronikmodul. Bei einem bekannten derartigen Anschlußklemmenblock (DE 41 21 836 C2) befindet sich die Trenneinrichtung im oberen Bereich des Moduls. Sie liegt damit zwar gut sichtbar deutlich oberhalb der Verdrahtungsebene des Anschlußklemmenblocks, doch müssen hierzu Stromschienenstücke im Elektronikmodul weit nach oben geführt und auch wieder von dort abgeführt werden. Es ist eine recht komplexe Trennstelle für ausschließlich diese Trennfunktion zu schaffen und es sind bei der dortigen Ausgestaltung besondere, zur Trennstelle führende Steckanschlüsse für Prüfstecker im Gehäuse des Elektronikmoduls zu schaffen.The invention relates to a terminal block with a so electrically and mechanically pluggable electronic module and one on the electronic module attached separator in the electrical conductive connection between the terminal block and the Electronics module. In a known terminal block of this type (DE 41 21 836 C2) the separating device is located in the upper area of the module. It is clearly visible above the Wiring level of the terminal block, but must do this Conductor rail pieces in the electronics module are led far up and also be removed again from there. It is a fairly complex separation point to create only this separation function and there are at the design there special plug connections leading to the separation point for test plugs in the housing of the electronics module.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen derartigen Anschlußklemmenblock zu schaffen, der mit denkbar geringem baulichen Aufwand und geringem Platzbedarf die Trenn- und Prüffunktion ermöglicht.The present invention is therefore based on the object to create such terminal block, with the smallest possible the separation and testing function enables.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß die Trenneinrichtung ein ein die elektrischen Steckverbinder des Elektronikmoduls zur elektrischen Verbindung zum Anschlußklemmenblock und Prüfsteckeranschlüsse beinhaltendes Trennstück ist, das in der Steckverbindungszone des Elektronikmoduls an diesem zwischen einer Schließ- und einer Trennstellung verlagerbar gehalten ist. Dadurch, daß die Trenneinrichtung nunmehr in der Steckverbindungszone des Elektronikmoduls liegt, entfallen gesonderte, zu einer Trennstelle führende Stromschienen und dergleichen, dies umso mehr, als dieses Trennstück zugleich auch für den Elektronikmodul Steckverbinderfunktion hat und im übrigen auch direkt aus sich heraus das Einstecken des Prüfsteckers zur Prüfung der Elektronik im Modul ermöglicht. Bei eingestecktem Elektronikmodul gewährleistet das Trennstück somit in seiner Schließstellung die elektrische Steckverbindung an dieser Stelle zwischen dem Elektronikmodul und dem Anschlußklemmenblock. In der Trennstellung ist die elektrische Verbindung an dieser Stelle zum Anschlußklemmenblock unterbrochen und man kann dann durch Einstecken des Prüfsteckers in das Trennstück die gewünschte Prüfung der Elektronik im Modul durchführen. Bei Entnahme des Elektronikmoduls bleibt das Trennstück am Elektronikmodul haften, da es an ihm gehalten ist.The solution according to the invention consists essentially in that the Disconnector a the electrical connector of the Electronic module for electrical connection to the terminal block and test plug connections containing separator, which is in the Connector zone of the electronic module on this between one Closed and a separating position is kept displaceable. Thereby, that the separator is now in the connector zone of the Electronic module is, separate, to a separation point leading busbars and the like, all the more so than this Separator also for the electronics module connector function has and the plugging in of the Test plug for testing the electronics in the module. At inserted electronics module ensures the separator in its closed position the electrical connector at this point between the electronics module and the terminal block. In the Disconnection position is the electrical connection at this point to the Terminal block interrupted and can then be plugged in the test plug into the separator the desired test of the electronics perform in the module. This remains when the electronics module is removed Adhere the separator to the electronics module as it is held on it.

Gemäß einer besonders zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung eines derartigen Anschlußklemmenblockes ist eine zwischen dem Trennstück und dem Gehäuse des Elektronikmoduls wirkende Blockiervorrichtung vorgesehen, die in der Trennstellung des Trennstückes durch Einstecken des Prüfsteckers betätigbar ist. Damit ist zuverlässig gewährleistet, daß nicht etwa durch Einstecken des Prüfsteckers zu Prüfzwecken das Trennstück dabei wieder in die Schließstellung zurückgedrückt wird.According to a particularly expedient embodiment of such a Terminal block is one between the separator and the housing of the electronic module acting blocking device provided in the separating position of the separator by inserting the test plug can be actuated. This reliably ensures that not by inserting the test plug for test purposes the separator is pushed back into the closed position.

Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung erstreckt sich das Trennstück zumindest mit einem Teilbereich an einem unteren Außenwandbereich des Elektronikmoduls in dessen Höhenrichtung und trägt im unteren, dem Anschlußklemmenblock zugewandten Endbereich die Steckverbinder des Elektronikmoduls. Dazu werden auch die Steckverbinder im Anschlußklemmenblock, bezogen auf den Elektronikmodul, relativ weit nach außen gelegt, damit die Steckverbinder zusammenwirken können. Es ergibt sich hieraus der Vorteil, daß mit dem Anschlußklemmenblock wahlweise Elektronikmodule mit Trenneinrichtung und Elektronikmodule breiterer Bauweise ohne Trenneinrichtung eingesetzt werden können.According to a further preferred embodiment, this extends Separator at least with a partial area on a lower outer wall area of the electronics module in its height direction and carries in the lower end area facing the terminal block the connectors of the electronics module. The connectors are also used in the terminal block, relative to the electronics module, relatively far placed outside so that the connectors can work together. This has the advantage that with the terminal block optionally electronic modules with isolating device and electronic modules wider construction can be used without a separator.

In weiterer zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung befinden sich in dem genannten Teilbereich des Trennstückes in dessen Oberseite die Prüfsteckeranschlüsse. In diesem oberen Bereich kann das Trennstück auch als Handhabe ausgebildet sein. Hierdurch läßt sich ein ausreichender Abstand zur Verdrahtungsebene des Anschlußklemmenblockes erreichen, so daß das Trennstück gut sichtbar und gut handhabbar bleibt und auch der Prüfstecker handhabungsbequem in das Trennstück eingesteckt werden kann, zumal sich Letzteres dabei ja in der oberen Trennstellung befindet.In a further expedient embodiment are in the above Part of the separator in the upper side of the test plug connections. In this upper area, the separator can also be used as Handle be trained. This allows a sufficient distance to the wiring level of the terminal block so that the separator remains clearly visible and easy to handle and also the Test plugs can be easily inserted into the separator can, especially since the latter is in the upper separation position located.

Der in Figur 1 in Seitenansicht gezeigte Anschlußklemmenblock 1 ist üblicherweise aus einer Vielzahl aneinandergereihter, zusammengesetzter Anschlußscheiben 2 gebildet, die gesehen auf Figur 1 in Zeichnungstiefe nebeneinander liegen. Jede der Anschlußscheiben 2 trägt in einem elektrisch isolierenden Kunststoffgehäuse 3 Anschlüsse 4 zum Anschließen elektrischer Leiter, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel über Stromschienenstücke 5 mit Steckanschlüssen 6 verbunden sind. Vorgesehen ist ferner ein Elektronikmodul 7, der mit dem Anschlußklemmenblock 1, gebildet durch die Anschlußscheiben 2, elektrisch und mechanisch steckverbindbar ist. Die mechanische Verbindung geschieht in üblicher Weise durch das Einstecken entsprechend gestalteter Gehäusebereiche des Gehäuses 8 des Elektronikmoduls 7 in eine entsprechende Aufnahmeausnehmung im Anschlußklemmenblock 2, die durch die aneinandergereihten Kunststoffgehäuse 3 der Anschlußscheibe 2 gebildet wird. Die Steckverbindung wird zweckmäßig mechanisch verrastet.The terminal block 1 shown in side view in Figure 1 is usually from a large number of lined up, assembled Connection disks 2 formed, seen on Figure 1 in the drawing depth lie side by side. Each of the connection plates 2 carries in an electrical insulating plastic housing 3 connections 4 for connection electrical conductor, which in the illustrated embodiment Busbar pieces 5 are connected to plug connections 6. An electronic module 7 is also provided, which is connected to the terminal block 1, formed by the connecting plates 2, electrical and is mechanically pluggable. The mechanical connection happens in the usual way by inserting appropriately designed housing areas of the housing 8 of the electronics module 7 into a corresponding one Receiving recess in the terminal block 2, which are lined up by the Plastic housing 3 of the connecting plate 2 is formed. The plug connection is appropriately mechanically locked.

Es ist ferner eine Trenneinrichtung in der elektrischen Verbindung zwischen dem Elektronikmodul 7 und dem Anschlußklemmenblock 2 vorgesehen. Diese Trenneinrichtung ist erfindungsgemäß ein Trennstück 9, in dem sich sowohl die Steckverbinder 10 zum Einsetzen in die Steckanschlüsse 6 des Anschlußklemmenblockes 1 und damit zur elektrischen Verbindung zwischen Anschlußklemmenblock 1 und Elektronikmodul 7, als auch Prüfsteckeranschlüsse 11 zum Einstecken eines Prüfsteckers 12 befinden. Das Trennstück 9 ist dabei zwischen einer Schließstellung und einer Trennstellung verlagerbar am Elektronikmodul 7 unverlierbar gehalten. Die Trennstücke sind unmittelbar in der Steckverbindungszone des Elektronikmoduls 7 an diesem vorgesehen. Sie haben ein Gehäuse 13, das die Unterkante des Gehäuses 8 des Elektronikmodules 7 umgreift und von daher einen bezüglich des Elektronikmodulgehäuses 8 innenwandigen Abschnitt 14 sowie einen außenwandigen Abschnitt 15 hat, der sich in Höhenrichtung des Elektronikmodules 7 erstreckt. Der außen liegende Abschnitt 15 beinhaltet dabei in seinem unteren Endbereich die Steckverbinder 10, die mit den entsprechenden Steckanschlüssen 6 der Anschlußscheiben 2 des Anschlußklemmenblockes 1 zusammenwirken. Im oberen Endbereich dieses Abschnittes 15 befinden sich, nach oben offen, die Prüfsteckeranschlüsse 11.It is also a disconnector in the electrical connection provided between the electronics module 7 and the terminal block 2. According to the invention, this separating device is a separating piece 9, in which both the connector 10 for insertion into the plug connections 6 of the terminal block 1 and thus for electrical Connection between terminal block 1 and electronics module 7, as also test plug connections 11 for inserting a test plug 12 are located. The separator 9 is between a closed position and a separation position displaceable on the electronics module 7 captive held. The separators are directly in the connector zone of the electronics module 7 provided on this. You have a case 13, which engages around the lower edge of the housing 8 of the electronic module 7 and therefore one with the inside of the electronics module housing 8 Section 14 and an outer wall portion 15, which extends in the vertical direction of the electronic module 7. The outside lying section 15 includes in its lower end region the connectors 10 with the corresponding plug connections 6 of the connecting disks 2 of the terminal block 1 cooperate. In the upper end region of this section 15 there are upwards open, the test plug connections 11.

Durch die vorstehend geschilderte Ausgestaltung liegen die Steckanschlüsse 6 des Anschlußklemmenblockes 1 bezogen auf diesen Elektronikmodul 7 außenseitig. Dies bedeutet, daß dieser Anschlußklemmenblock 1 auch im Bedarfsfall mit anderen Elektronikmodulen ohne Trenneinrichtung bestückt werden können. Diese Elektronikmodule wären dann so breit, daß Steckanschlüsse oder unmittelbar die entsprechend ausgestalteten Enden von Funktionsleiterplatten direkt in die Steckanschlüsse 6 gesteckt werden können. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, einen Elektronikmodul zu verwenden, der nur auf einer Seite ein Trennstück 9 trägt, während die andere Seite gegenüber dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel dann entsprechend verbreitert und für die direkte elektrische Kontaktierung der dortigen Steckanschlüsse 6 eingerichtet ist.Due to the design described above, the plug connections are located 6 of the terminal block 1 related to this electronics module 7 outside. This means that this terminal block 1 also if necessary with other electronic modules without a separator can be equipped. These electronic modules would then be so wide that Plug connections or directly the correspondingly designed ends of functional circuit boards inserted directly into the plug connections 6 can be. There is also the option of an electronic module to use, which carries a separator 9 on only one side, while the other side compared to the illustrated embodiment widened accordingly and for direct electrical contacting the plug connections 6 there is set up.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beinhalten die in dem Trennstück 9 angeordnete Steckverbinder 10 eine nach unten weisende, auf den Steckanschluß 6 gerichtete Steckfahne 16, die sich an einem Stromschienenstück 17 befindet, von dem nach oben eine Kontaktfahne 18 für die Kontaktierung mit dem Stift des Prüfsteckers 12 abgeht, und von dem nach unten ein weiteres Stromschienenstück 19 abgeht, das bis in den bezüglich des Elektronikmodules 7 innenwandigen Abschnitt 14 des Trennstückes 9 verläuft und hier im Inneren des Elektronikmodules im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel direkt das entsprechend kontaktierend gestaltete Ende einer Funktionsleiterplatte 20 kontaktieren kann. Im Hinblick auf das Erfordernis der Verlagerbarkeit des Trennstückes 9ist zwischen Schließstellung und Trennstellung insoweit eine Schleifkontaktausgestaltung vorgesehen.In the illustrated embodiment, they include in the separator 9 arranged connector 10 a downward, on the plug connection 6 directional flag 16, located on a track piece 17 is located, from which a contact tab 18 for the Contacting with the pin of the test plug 12 comes off, and from that down another busbar piece 19 goes down to the with respect to the electronics module 7 inner wall portion 14 of the separator 9 runs and here in the interior of the electronics module in the illustrated Embodiment directly contacting the corresponding designed end of a functional circuit board 20 can contact. With regard to the requirement of relocability of the separator 9 is a sliding contact configuration between the closed position and the disconnected position intended.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die unverlierbare, verlagerbare Halterung des Trennstückes 9 am unteren Außenwandungsbereich des Gehäuses 8 des Elektronikmodules 7 dadurch erreicht, daß die Wandabschnitte 14 und 15 des Gehäuses 13 des Trennstückes 9 zwischen sich einen Führungsspalt 21 definieren, in den der untere Außenwandbereich des Gehäuses 8 des Elektronikmodules 7 eintritt, so daß sich das Trennstück 9 am Gehäuse 8 auf- und abwärts verschieblich führen kann. Dabei sind im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel in dem betroffenen Wandabschnitt des Gehäuses 8 des Elektronikmodules 7 in Höhenrichtung abständig voneinander Rastausnehmungen 22 und 23 vorgesehen.In the illustrated embodiment, the captive is relocatable Holding the separator 9 on the lower outer wall area of the Housing 8 of the electronics module 7 is achieved in that the wall sections 14 and 15 of the housing 13 of the separator 9 between them define a guide gap 21 into which the lower outer wall area of the housing 8 of the electronics module 7 occurs, so that the separator 9 on the housing 8 can move up and down. Here are in the illustrated embodiment in the wall section concerned of the housing 8 of the electronics module 7 in the height direction from each other recesses 22 and 23 are provided.

Zum Zusammenwirken mit der oberen Rastausnehmung 22 trägt der innenwandige Abschnitt 14 des Trennstückgehäuses 13 Rasthaken 24, während zum Zusammenwirken mit der unteren Rastausnehmung 23 der außenwandige Abschnitt 15 des Trennstückgehäuses 13 Rasthaken 25 hat. To cooperate with the upper recess 22 carries the inner wall Section 14 of the separator housing 13 locking hook 24, while to cooperate with the lower recess 23 of the outer wall Section 15 of the separator housing 13 has latching hooks 25.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen das gesehen auf die Zeichnung rechte Trennstück 9 in seiner Trennstellung. Die Rasthaken 24 und 25 befinden sich in den Rastausnehmungen 22 und 23. Die elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Elektronikmodul 7 und dem Anschlußklemmenblock 2 ist getrennt, da die Steckfahnen 16 des Trennstückes 9 nach oben aus den Steckanschlüssen 6 herausgezogen sind.Figures 1 and 2 show the right separator seen on the drawing 9 in its disconnected position. The locking hooks 24 and 25 are located in the recesses 22 and 23. The electrical connection between the electronics module 7 and the terminal block 2 is separated because the plug-in tabs 16 of the separator 9 upwards from the plug connections 6 are pulled out.

Es versteht sich, daß das Trennstück 9 im wesentlichen eine Tiefenerstreckung entsprechend dem Anschlußklemmenblock 1 hat und in ihm soviele elektrische Steckverbinder 10 angeordnet sind, wie Steckanschlüsse 6 für die elektrische Kontaktierung zwischen Elektromodul 7 und Anschlußklemmenblock 1 zu tätigen sind.It is understood that the separator 9 is essentially a depth extension has according to the terminal block 1 and so many in it electrical connectors 10 are arranged, such as plug connections 6 for the electrical contact between the electrical module 7 and the terminal block 1 are to be made.

In der genannten hochgezogenen Trennstellung kann nun die Elektronik durch Einstecken ein oder mehrerer Prüfstecker 12 in den entsprechenden Prüfsteckeranschluß 11 des Trennstückes 9 geprüft werden. Um sicherzustellen, daß sich das Trennstück 9 durch Einstecken der Prüfstecker 12 trotz der Verrastung nicht doch noch wieder nach unten in die Schließstellung bewegen kann, ist zusätzlich eine besondere Blockiervorrichtung vorgesehen. Diese besteht im wesentlichen aus im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel am Gehäuse 13 des Trennstückes 9 angeformten winkelförmigen Federn 26, die mit ihren unteren Schenkeln in eine dafür vorgesehene weitere Ausnehmung 27 im entsprechenden Wandabschnitt des Gehäuses 8 des Elektronikmodules 7 blockierend eintreten können. Die Anordnung ist dabei so getroffen, daß das Federstück 26 in Ruhestellung auf seiner dem Elektronikgehäuse 7 abgewandten Seite in den Prüfsteckeranschluß 11 so weit vorsteht, daß der Stift des Prüfsteckers 12 beim Einstecken das Federstück 26 automatisch in die Blockierstellung drückt.The electronics can now be operated in the raised position by inserting one or more test plugs 12 into the corresponding ones Test connector 11 of the separator 9 are checked. To ensure, that the separator 9 by inserting the test plug 12 not despite the latching down into the Can move the closed position is also a special blocking device intended. This consists essentially of the shown Embodiment molded on the housing 13 of the separator 9 angular springs 26 with their lower legs in a further recess 27 provided for this purpose in the corresponding wall section of the housing 8 of the electronics module 7 enter blocking can. The arrangement is such that the spring piece 26 in Rest position on its side facing away from the electronics housing 7 in the test connector 11 protrudes so far that the pin of the test connector 12 automatically when the spring piece 26 is inserted into the Blocking position presses.

In der in Figur 1 auf der linken Seite illustrierten Schließstellung des Trennstückes 9 ist dieses so weit nach unten gedrückt, daß sich zur elektrischen Verbindung des Anschlußblockes 1 mit dem Elektronikmodul 7 die Steckfahnen 16 der elektrischen Steckverbinder 10 des Trennstückes 9 in eingesteckter Kontaktlage zu den Steckanschlüssen 6 befinden. In dieser Lage befinden sich die Rasthaken 24 am innen liegenden Abschnitt 14 des Trennstückgehäuses 13 nunmehr in den unteren Rastausnehmungen 24 der Wandung des Gehäuses 8 des Elektronikmodules 7. Die Rasthaken 25 des außenwandigen Abschnittes 15 liegen außerhalb unterhalb des Gehäuses 8.In the closed position illustrated on the left in FIG. 1 of the separator 9, this is pressed so far down that for the electrical connection of the connection block 1 to the electronics module 7 the lugs 16 of the electrical connector 10 of the separator 9 are in the inserted contact position with the plug connections 6. In this position, the locking hooks 24 are on the inside Section 14 of the separator housing 13 now in the lower recesses 24 of the wall of the housing 8 of the electronics module 7. The locking hooks 25 of the outer-walled section 15 are outside below the housing 8.

Beim Abnehmen des Elektronikmodules 7 verbleiben die Trennstücke 9 unabhängig von ihrer jeweiligen Stellung am Elektronikmodul.When the electronic module 7 is removed, the separators 9 remain regardless of their position on the electronics module.

Wie aus den Figuren ersichtlich, wird der außenwandige Abschnitt 15 des Gehäuses 13 des Trennstückes 9 zweckmäßig so lang nach oben erstreckt, daß sich das obere Ende auch in der Schließstellung des Trennstückes 9 noch gut sichtbar und handhabbar oberhalb der Verdrahtungsebene des Anschlußblockes 1 befindet und daß sich auch noch die Möglichkeit bietet, platzsparend und räumlich eng neben dem Trennstück 9 (siehe linke Seite der Figur 1) einen Querverbinderkamm 28 vorzusehen, der eine Potentialquerverteilung durch Kontaktierung der benachbarten Stromschienenstücke 5 in den Anschlußscheiben 2 des Anschlußklemmenblockes 1 ermöglicht.As can be seen from the figures, the outer-walled section 15 of the housing 13 of the separator 9 expediently as long upwards extends that the upper end also in the closed position of the Partition 9 still clearly visible and manageable above the Wiring level of the connection block 1 is and that too still offers the opportunity to save space and space close to the Separator 9 (see left side of Figure 1) a cross connector comb 28 to provide a potential transverse distribution by contacting of the adjacent conductor rail pieces 5 in the connecting disks 2 of the Terminal block 1 allows.

Das Gehäuse 13 des Trennstückes 9 ist ferner zweckmäßig an der Oberseite mit einem Bügel- oder Hakenstück 29 versehen, das der Handhabung des Trennstückes 9, beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Schraubendrehers, dient. Die Höhenerstreckung des Gehäuses 13 gewährleistet dabei auch die gute Sichtbarkeit und Zugänglichkeit dieses oberen Trennstückendes zwecks Betätigung und, in der oberen Trennstellung des Trennstückes 9,eine handhabungsbequeme, optisch gut sichtbare und deutlich oberhalb der Verdrahtungsebene des Anschlußklemmenblockes 1 liegende Einsteckmöglichkeit für die Prüfstecker 12. Letzteres gilt selbst dann, wenn zweckmäßig neben der Prüfung der Elektronik auch eine Feldgeräteprüfung stattfindet und hierzu neben den Prüfsteckern 12 für die Elektronikprüfung auch räumlich dazu seitlich nach unten außen versetzt in entsprechenden Steckanschlüssen 30 der Anschlußscheiben 2 des Anschlußklemmenblockes 1 Prüfstecker 31 eingesteckt werden.The housing 13 of the separator 9 is also useful on the top provided with a bracket or hook piece 29, which the handling the separating piece 9, for example with the aid of a screwdriver, serves. The vertical extension of the housing 13 also ensures the good visibility and accessibility of this upper separator end for actuation and, in the upper disconnected position of the separator 9, a comfortable to use, visually well visible and clearly above the wiring level of the terminal block 1 lying plug-in for the test plug 12. The latter applies even if In addition to testing the electronics, a field device test is also useful takes place and in addition to the test plugs 12 for the Electronics test also spatially offset laterally downwards in corresponding plug connections 30 of the connecting disks 2 of the Terminal block 1 test plug 31 can be inserted.
