Definitions

  • the invention relates to distribution strips with a plurality of conductor connections which are arranged next to one another and comprise conductor rail pieces and a transverse distribution of the electrical power.
  • distribution strips are used for the supply-related and control-related connection of electrical components such as voltage sources, signal receivers, initiators, actuators and field devices. They can be used, for example, to build up initiator terminal blocks (EP 0 222 030 A2), and they are also widely used in modular control systems.
  • a large number of solutions for jumper elements are known from the prior art which provide suitable devices for connecting conductor connections within a row direction of a distributor strip in order to transmit potentials between the distributor strips in the row direction.
  • These so-called cross distributors are known for example from DE 43 22 535 A1, DE 30 48 497 A1, DE 68 91 20 40 T2.
  • the transverse distribution is carried out exclusively within a distribution strip, in which, due to the connection situation of the connected components, certain potentials are required at the connection points. In this case, however, the forwarding of the potentials, which is usually referred to as transverse distribution, does not leave the distributor strip, only connecting elements are connected to one another in the direction of the row.
  • the present invention has for its object to show a configuration with which adjacent distribution strips can be reliably and easily brought to the same potential, at least in some areas.
  • the solution according to the invention consists in that at least two connections located at the same end on the outside of parallel distribution strips have plug contact elements oriented towards the outside end side and a jumper is provided with an electrical contact bridge which has at least two contact spring struts which can be connected to the two plug contact elements. Thanks to this configuration, it is thus possible, for example, to lead this plus potential from a first distribution bar carrying a plus potential with the aid of the jumper to a distribution bar arranged in parallel, which then leads to this number of poles up to a certain number of poles and can otherwise lead to a minus potential in the course . Larger and more complex modular control systems in particular can be wired in this way in a particularly space-saving and flexible manner.
  • the design of the electrical contact bridge with contact spring struts enables a high contact force to be generated when the potential is bridged from a distributor strip end into the distributor strip arranged in parallel.
  • the jumper has a housing shell made of insulating plastic, which can be locked with lateral connection pieces of the housing of the external connections. This ensures the handling of the jumper and the insulation protection of the user. Since the distribution strips in question are constructed from individual elements which are usually composed by lateral latching, corresponding latching elements are thus available on the housing side for the housing of the jumper at the outer end. The mechanical latching ensures a very secure hold of the jumper on the two ends of the distributor strip, so that the electrical contacting is ensured even under vibration loads or under the force of gravity when the distributor strips are appropriately positioned.
  • the distribution strips for lateral distribution of the electrical power on the conductor rail pieces of the conductor connections laterally on the one hand socket contacts and on the other side plug-in tabs which can be inserted into the adjacent socket contact.
  • the contact bridge of the jumper is plugged onto the free plug-in tabs of the two external connections of the two distribution strips.
  • connection disks 1 of a connection block composed of a plurality of such connection disks 1, for example a modular control system
  • the connection disks 1 of this connection block having, for example, one level with signal conductor connections 2 for connection to electronics (not shown) and in a further region of the connection disks 2 two parallel distribution bars 3 are provided in corresponding receptacles 4 of the connecting disks 1, which serve to supply initiators, actuators, field devices and the like.
  • the distribution strips 3 are in turn expedient in turn composed of individual connections 5, which have individual housings 6 which can be assembled into the distribution strips 3.
  • connections 5 are provided, the spring-loaded conductor connections 7 of which comprise busbar pieces 8 which have a special configuration for the transverse distribution of the electrical power, in such a way that the busbar pieces 8 each have socket contacts 9 on one side and on the other, opposite Side plug-in tabs 10, the arrangement being such that when the distributor strip 3 is built up, a plug-in tab 10 comes into contact with the socket contact 9 of the adjacent individual connector 5 by the composition of the individual elements. In this way, the electrical transverse distribution is built up automatically when the distributor strips 3 are assembled without separate cross connector assembly and the like.
  • these distribution strips 3 there are, in this embodiment automatically, at the two external connections 5 of two distribution strips arranged parallel to one another and oriented towards the end at the end, there projecting tabs 10, which according to the invention are to be described by using a jumper can be used to bring the potential of one distribution bar, for example a plus potential, to the parallel distribution bar 3 with the aid of such a jumper.
  • a jumper can be used to bring the potential of one distribution bar, for example a plus potential, to the parallel distribution bar 3 with the aid of such a jumper.
  • This is illustrated in the drawing with the two plus arrows.
  • the arrows are also intended to symbolize that such distribution strips can be composed of a large number of individual connections.
  • the jumper 11 provided according to the invention for transferring the potential of the two ends of the distributor strip contains a contact bridge 12, which, in an expedient embodiment, consists of an upper connecting rail 13 and spring pieces 14, 15 extending down from it, each of which defines a plug contact slot 16 between them and which each form in pairs the contact spring struts which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, lie on the two free plug-in tabs 10 of the outside Connections 5 of the two distribution strips 3 can be plugged in contacting.
  • the two ends of the connecting rail 13 are bent to an extent corresponding to the grid within the distributor strips 3. The bend also detects the one spring piece 14 of the two contact struts.
  • the jumper 11 also has a housing shell 17, which consists of an insulating plastic and serves to protect against contact and handling.
  • the contact bridge 12 is expediently not only loosely inserted into the housing shell 17, but is also fixed therein by means of latching.
  • the housing shell also serves for the particularly stable mechanical fixing of the jumper 11 as a whole at the two ends of the distributor strip and thus also for securing the electrical contact against vibrating loads, gravitational loading when the distributor strips 3 and the bridge 11 are appropriately positioned.
  • the individual housings 6 of the individual connections 5 have several, preferably four latching pins 18 on their one side for the connection within the distributor strips 3.
  • Corresponding latching recesses are located on the opposite side of the individual housings 6.
  • Corresponding latching recesses 19 are now provided in the housing shell 17 of the jumper 11, so that the existing latching pins 18 can be used in an expedient manner for the reliable mechanical latching and fixing of the jumper 11.
  • a multi-pole distribution with a multi-pole jumper of the same basic structure can also be advantageous.
  • Such a multi-pole jumper 11 ' is shown in Figure 2.
  • the contact bridge 12 ' has an elongated connecting rail 13'. At the ends are the spring pieces, of which one spring piece is bent. In the middle area there are several pairs of springs for corresponding cross bridges.
