Abstract

A distributor system allows a large number of connections to be made in parallel to a power rail (13). The connectors are in a pressed metal form (6) that are set into a housing of insulation (7) and are formed at the top section so as to receive connecting wires inserted into access slots. Each unit has a number of contact pairs and can be mounted side-by-side with projecting dowel pins (8) locating register holes. Bridging contacts of metal strip material (14) are used to have single contact between the distributor units and the supply tracks (13) in the base unit.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung von zueinander parallelen Verteilerleisten mit jeweils mehreren, nebeneinander angeordneten, Stromschienenstücke beinhaltenden Leiteranschlüssen und einer Querverteilung der elektrischen Leistung über die Stromschienenstücke jeweils innerhalb der Verteilerleisten. Derartige Verteilerleisten werden zur versorgungstechnischen und steuertechnischen Verknüpfung von technischen Bauteilen wie beispielsweise Spannungsquellen, Signalempfängern, Initiatoren, Aktoren und Feldgeräten eingesetzt. Sie können zum Aufbau von Initiatorklemmenblöcken verwendet werden (EP 0 222 030 Al). Sie finden auch vielfach Verwendung in modular aufgebauten Steuerungsanlagen.The invention relates to an arrangement of mutually parallel distribution strips, each with several, side by side Arranged conductor pieces and conductor rail pieces and a transverse distribution of the electrical power over the conductor rail pieces in each case within the distribution strips. Such distribution strips become a supply and control link of technical components such as voltage sources, Signal receivers, initiators, actuators and field devices are used. They can be used to build initiator terminal blocks (EP 0 222 030 Al). They are also widely used in modular structures Control systems.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist eine Vielzahl von Lösungen für Brückerelemente bekannt, die für die Verbindung von Leiteranschlüssen innerhalb einer Reihungsrichtung einer Verteilerleiste geeignete Vorrichtungen zur Verfügung stellen, um Potentiale zwischen den Verteilerleisten in Reihungsrichtung weiterzuleiten. Diese sogenannten Querverteiler sind beispielsweise aus der DE 43 22 535 Al, der DE 30 48 497 Al, der DE 68 91 20 40 T2 bekannt. Bei all diesen Lösungen wird die Querverteilung ausschließlich innerhalb einer Verteilerleiste vorgenommen, bei der aufgrund der Anschlußsituation der angeschlossenen Bauteile bestimmte Potentiale an den Anschlußstellen benötigt werden. Hierbei verläßt die üblicherweise als Querverteilung bezeichnete Weiterleitung der Potentiale jedoch die Verteilerleiste nicht, es werden lediglich Anschlußelemente in Reihungsrichtung miteinander verbunden.A variety of solutions for the prior art Bridge elements known for the connection of conductor connections suitable within a row direction of a distribution strip Provide devices to potential between the Forward distribution strips in the direction of the row. These so-called Cross distributors are for example from DE 43 22 535 A1, the DE 30 48 497 Al, known from DE 68 91 20 40 T2. With all of these solutions the cross distribution is only within a distribution bar made at the due to the connection situation of the connected Components certain potentials are required at the connection points. This leaves what is usually referred to as cross distribution Forwarding the potentials, however, the distribution board does not, it will only connecting elements connected in the direction of the row.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Ausgestaltung aufzuzeigen, mit der parallel zueinander angeordnete Verteilerleisten zuverlässig und einfach zumindest bereichsweise bei zusätzlicher Potentialverzweigungsmöglichkeit auf das gleiche Potential gebracht werden können.The present invention has for its object an embodiment to demonstrate with the arranged parallel to each other Distribution strips reliable and simple at least in some areas additional potential branching possibility to the same potential can be brought.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht darin, daß zumindest ein Leiteranschluß einer Verteilerleiste und der angrenzende Leiteranschluß zumindest einer parallel zueinander angeordneten Verteilerleiste an ihren Stromschienenstücken bodenseitige Steckkontaktelemente für eine zur Querverteilung zusätzliche Potentialverzweigung haben und ein Brücker vorgesehen ist, der ein Kontaktfederbein aufweist, mit dem ein das bodenseitige Steckkontaktelement des einen Leiteranschlusses zur Potentialverzweigung kontaktierendes Stromleitstück kontaktierbar ist und der Brücker zumindest ein Steckkontaktelement aufweist, mit dem das bodenseitige Steckkontaktelement des angrenzenden anderen Leiteranschlusses der Verteilerleiste kontaktierbar ist. Dank dieser Ausgestaltung ist es somit möglich, beispielsweise von einer ein Plus-potential führenden ersten Verteilerleiste dieses Pluspotential mit Hilfe des Brückers auch in eine parallel angeordnete Verteilerleiste zu führen, die dann ganz oder bis zu einer bestimmten Polzahl eben dieses Pluspotential führt. Darüber hinaus kann von dieser Verzweigungsstelle über das Stromleitstück in dem einen bodenseitigen Steckkontaktelement des einen Leiteranschlusses eine zusätzliche Potentialverzweigung erfolgen, die beispielsweise zu einer Kontroll- oder Signaleinrichtung, einer Leiterplatte oder zu einem diesen Verteilerleisten zugeordneten Elektronikmodul einer modularen Steuerungsanlage führen kann. Gerade größere und komplexe modulare Steuerungsanlagen lassen sich auf diese Weise besonders raumsparend und flexibel verzweigen und verdrahten.The solution according to the invention is that at least one conductor connection a distribution strip and the adjacent conductor connection at least one distributor strip arranged parallel to one another their track pieces on the bottom-side plug contact elements for one have additional potential branching for transverse distribution and a Brücker is provided, which has a contact strut with which a the bottom-side plug contact element of a conductor connection for potential branching contacting Stromleitstück is contactable and the jumper has at least one plug contact element with which the bottom side Plug contact element of the adjacent other conductor connection Distribution board is contactable. Thanks to this design, it is thus possible, for example from a one with a plus potential first distribution strip this plus potential with the help of the jumper also run in a parallel distribution strip, which then this plus potential in whole or up to a certain number of poles leads. In addition, from this branch point on the Stromleitstück in the one bottom-side plug contact element of one An additional potential branch, which for example to a control or signaling device Printed circuit board or assigned to one of these distribution strips Electronic module of a modular control system can lead. Straight Larger and more complex modular control systems can be used on these Branch and wire in a particularly space-saving and flexible manner.

In weiterer besonders zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung sind zur Querverteilung der elektrischen Leistung in den Verteilerleisten an den Stromschienenstücken der Leiteranschlüsse seitlich Buchsenkontakte und Stecklaschen derart angeordnet, daß bei der Anreihung zur Bildung der Verteilerleiste die Stecklaschen die Buchsenkontakte in Reihungsrichtung benachbarter Leiteranschlüsse kontaktieren, wobei die Buchsenkontakte zur Bildung der bodenseitigen Steckkontaktelemente auch zum Boden hin offen sind. Bei diesem sehr vorteilhaften Aufbau der Verteilerleisten, der ohne gesonderte Querverteilerkämme oder Querverteilerleisten auskommt, werden somit in sehr zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung die sowieso vorhandenen Buchsenkontakte der Leiteranschlüsse auch als bodenseitige Steckkontaktelemente genutzt, von denen dann jeweils ein aneinandergrenzendes Paar aus zwei parallel zueinander angeordneten Verteilerleisten mit dem Stromschienenstück und dem Brücker kontaktiert werden kann.In a further particularly expedient embodiment there are for transverse distribution the electrical power in the distribution strips on the busbar sections the conductor connections on the side of socket contacts and plug-in tabs arranged in such a way that in the baying to form the distributor strip the tabs the socket contacts in the direction of the row Contact adjacent conductor connections, making the socket contacts to form the bottom-side plug contact elements also towards the floor are open. With this very advantageous construction of the distribution strips, the one without separate cross-distribution combs or cross-distribution strips gets along, so they are in a very functional design anyway existing socket contacts of the conductor connections also as bottom-side Plug contact elements used, one of which is then contiguous pair of two arranged parallel to each other Contact strips with the busbar piece and the jumper contacted can be.

Figur 1 zeigt zwei Anschlußscheiben 1 und 2 eines aus einer Vielzahl derartiger Anschlußscheiben zusammengesetzen Anschlußblocks, beispielsweise einer modularen Steuerungsanlage, wobei in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die Anschlußscheibe 2 die bezüglich der Potentialquerverteilung und Potentialverzweigung eingangsseitige Anschlußscheibe ist, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils die ersten Elemente ebenfalls modular aufgebauter Verteilerleisten 3 in entsprechenden Aufnahmen 4 im Scheibengehäuse 5 trägt. Die Einzelelemente der Verteilerleisten 3 bestehen im wesentlichen aus elektrisch leitenden Leiteranschlüssen 6, die sich in einer Gehäusescheibe 7 befinden, die auf ihrer einen Seite mit Rastzapfen 8 und auf der anderen Seite mit Rastausnehmungen dafür versehen sind, so daß sich bei Anreihung und Zusammensetzung auf diese Weise die Verteilerleiste in der gewünschten Polzahl aufbaut. Die Leiteranschlüsse 6, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel z. B. als Federzuganschlüsse ausgebildet sind, haben Stromschienenstücke 9, die alle jeweils seitliche Buchsenkontakte 10 einerseits und Stecklaschen 11 andererseits haben und zwar in derartiger Anordnung, daß beim Zusammensetzen der Verteilerleisten jeweils in den einzelnen Verteilerleisten 3 die Stecklaschen 11 kontaktierend in die Buchsenkontakte 10 benachbarter Leiteranschlüsse 6 eingreifen. Die Buchsenkontakte 10 sind dabei auch bodenseitig offen und bilden somit zugleich ein bodenseitiges Steckkontaktelement, für das auch im Bodenbereich der Gehäusescheibe 7 ein freier Zugang vorgesehen ist.Figure 1 shows two connecting plates 1 and 2 one of a variety such terminal washers put together terminal blocks, for example a modular control system, in this embodiment the connecting disk 2 with respect to the potential transverse distribution and potential branch is input-side connecting plate, which in illustrated embodiment, the first elements also Modular distribution strips 3 in corresponding receptacles 4 in the disc housing 5 carries. The individual elements of the distribution strips 3 essentially consist of electrically conductive conductor connections 6, which are located in a housing disc 7, on one Side with locking pin 8 and on the other side with locking recesses are provided so that there is a sequence and composition in this way builds up the distribution strip in the desired number of poles. The conductor connections 6, the z. B. are designed as spring-type terminals, have busbar pieces 9, all on the one hand and each side socket contacts 10 Plug tabs 11 on the other hand have and in such an arrangement, that when assembling the manifolds each in the individual Distribution strips 3 contacting the tabs 11 in the socket contacts 10 engage adjacent conductor connections 6. The socket contacts 10 are also open at the bottom and thus form at the same time a plug contact element on the bottom, for that also in the floor area the housing disc 7 free access is provided.

Die Anschlußscheibe 2 ist aufgrund ihrer Bestückung im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel beispielsweise bezüglich eines Versorgungspotentials und einer Potentialverzweigung die Eingangs- und Einspeisescheibe des Anschlußblocks. Die am Ende noch davor sitzende Anschlußscheibe 1 kann eine PE-Scheibe für den Block sein, die auch das Neutralleiterpotential über eine der im Ausführungsbeispiel vorgesehenen drei Verteilerleisten in den Anschlußblock speist. Vor den nachfolgend noch im einzelnen zu beschreibenden ersten Einzelelementen der beiden anderen benachbart nebeneinander angeordneten Verteilerleisten 3 sitzen in der Anschlußscheibe 1 bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung einzelne Bezeichnungsträgerscheiben 12 ohne elektische Funktion. Die beiden Plus-Pfeile in Figur 1 illustrieren, daß sich in diesen beiden nebeneinander liegenden Verteilerleisten 3 ganz oder zumindest über eine bestimmte Polzahl das Pluspotential über die Stecklaschen 11 und die Buchsenkontakte 10 der Leiteranschlüsse 6 querverteilt. Von den ersten, eingangsseitigen Leiteranschlüssen 6 in den beiden Verteilerleisten 3 werden bei der Anreihung zur Querverteilung lediglich die Stecklaschen 11 benötigt, während ihre Buchsenkontakte 10 frei sind und von daher für die nachfolgend im einzelnen beschriebene überbrückende Potentialverzweigung von einer Verteilerleiste in die andere und zu einer Potentialverzweigung zusätzlich zur Querverteilung genutzt werden können.The connection plate 2 is shown in the drawing due to its configuration Embodiment, for example, with regard to a supply potential and a potential junction the input and infeed disk of the Terminal blocks. The terminal washer 1 still sitting in front of it at the end can be a PE washer for the block, which is also the neutral conductor potential via one of the three distribution strips provided in the exemplary embodiment feeds into the terminal block. Before the following in more detail to be described first individual elements adjacent to the other two side-by-side distribution strips 3 are located in the connecting disk 1 with such a configuration, individual label carriers 12 without electrical function. The two plus arrows in Figure 1 illustrate that these two are side by side lying distribution strips 3 completely or at least over a certain Number of poles the plus potential via the plug-in tabs 11 and the socket contacts 10 of the conductor connections 6 cross-distributed. From the first input-side conductor connections 6 in the two distribution strips 3 in the case of baying for transverse distribution, only the tabs 11 needed while their socket contacts 10 are free and therefore for the bridging potential branch described in detail below from one distributor to the other and to one Potential branching can also be used for transverse distribution can.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der auch bodenseitig nutzbare freie Buchsenkontakt 10 des Leiteranschlusses 6 der mittleren Verteilerleiste 3 dazu genutzt, durch Kontaktierung mittels eines hier winkelförmig ausgebildeten Stromleitstückes 13 das Potential in dieser Anschlußscheibe 2 zu verzweigen, beispielsweise um es einem diesem Anschlußblock zugeordneten Elektronikmodul (nicht dargestellt) zuzuführen.In the illustrated embodiment, the one that can also be used on the bottom is Free socket contact 10 of the conductor connection 6 of the middle distribution strip 3 used by contacting by means of an angle here trained Stromleitstückes 13 the potential in this To branch connection disc 2, for example, this one Terminal block assigned to the electronic module (not shown).

Das in Frage stehende Potential wird dabei durch einen in diesem betroffenen Leiteranschluß 6 einzusteckenden elektrischen Leiter (nicht dargestellt) zugeführt und wird darüber hinaus mittels eines besonderen Brückers 14 auf den angrenzenden Leiteranschluß 6 der parallel dazu angeordneten weiteren Verteilerleiste 3 geführt, in der wiederum das Potential dann durch die geschilderte elektrische Querverteilung weitergeführt wird. Der Buchsenkontakt des Leiteranschlusses 6 dieser benachbarten Verteilerleiste ist frei und kann daher durch den Brücker 14 von der Bodenseite her kontaktiert werden.The potential in question is determined by one in this affected conductor connection 6 to be inserted electrical conductor (not shown) supplied and is furthermore by means of a special Brückers 14 on the adjacent conductor terminal 6 of the parallel arranged further distributor strip 3, in turn the potential then through the described electrical transverse distribution is continued. The socket contact of the conductor connection 6 this neighboring distribution board is free and can therefore by the jumper 14 be contacted from the bottom.

Der Brücker 14 besteht aus einer Verbindungsschiene 15, die den Abstand zwischen den beiden Leiteranschlüssen 6 der zueinander parallelen Verteilerleisten überbrückt und an derem einen Ende sich zur Bildung eines Kontaktfederbeines zwei einen Steckschlitz 16 bildende Federstücke 17 befinden. Die Federstücke erstrecken sich von der Verbindungsschiene 15 nach unten und sind im Bereich ihrer freien Enden so umgebogen, daß sie von der Seite her auf den emporstehenden Winkelabschnitt des Stromleitstückes 13 aufgesteckt werden können, so daß gute Kontaktfederkraft und ein großer Stromübertragungsquerschnitt für eine sichere Kontaktierung und Stromleitung zur Verfügung stehen.The jumper 14 consists of a connecting rail 15, which is the distance between the two conductor connections 6 of the parallel to each other Distribution bars bridged and at one end to form a contact spring strut two spring pieces forming a slot 16 17 are located. The spring pieces extend from the connecting rail 15 downwards and are bent over in the area of their free ends, that it is from the side on the upright angular section of the Stromleitstückes 13 can be plugged so that good Contact spring force and a large current transmission cross section for one secure contacting and power line are available.

Das andere Ende der Verbindungsschiene 15 ist umgebogen und trägt an diesem umgebogenen Ende eine nach oben verlaufende Stecklasche 18, die von der Bodenseite her kontaktierend in den Buchsenkontakt 10 dieses ersten Leiteranschlusses 6 der betroffenen Verteilerleiste kontaktieren kann, so daß auch die Potentialüberleitung von der einen auf die andere Verteilerleiste erreicht ist.The other end of the connecting rail 15 is bent over and supports this bent end an upwardly extending plug-in tab 18, the contacting from the bottom in the socket contact 10 this Contact the first conductor connection 6 of the distribution board concerned can, so that the potential transfer from one to the other Distribution strip is reached.

In zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung ist an dem Brücker 14, gegenüberliegend der Stecklasche 18 und sich gegenläufig zu ihr erstreckend eine Abstützlasche 19 vorgesehen, für die eine Rippe 20 des Gehäuses 5 der Anschlußscheibe 2 eine abstützende Gegenlagerfläche bildet. Der Brücker 14 wird mit seiner Verbindungsschiene 15 dabei zweckmäßig von der Seite her zwischen zwei Rippen 21, 22 des Gehäuses 5 der Anschlußscheibe 2 eingesetzt, die entsprechende Durchtritte auch für die Federstücke 17 des Kontaktfederbeines der Stecklasche 18 sowie die Abstützlasche 19 und das Stromleitstück 13 haben. Nach entsprechender Bestückung der Anschlußscheibe 2 stehen somit das obere Ende des Stromleitstückes 13 und der Stecklasche 18 des Brückers 14 in die Aufnahmen 4 vor, so daß es beim Einsetzen der Verteilerleisten 3 zu der gewünschten Kontaktierung kommt.In an expedient embodiment, the jumper 14 is opposite the plug-in tab 18 and extending in opposite directions to a support tab 19 provided for which a rib 20 of the housing 5 of the Connection plate 2 forms a supporting counter bearing surface. The jumper 14 is useful with its connecting rail 15 from the side between two ribs 21, 22 of the housing 5 of the Connection disc 2 used, the corresponding passages for the spring pieces 17 of the contact spring strut of the plug tab 18 and have the support tab 19 and the Stromleitstück 13. After Appropriate assembly of the connecting plate 2 are thus the top End of the current conducting piece 13 and the plug-in tab 18 of the jumper 14 in the receptacles 4 so that it is when inserting the manifolds 3 comes to the desired contact.

Auch anderweitig aufgebaute Verteilerleisten können mit einem derartigen Brücker potentialüberführend verbunden werden, soweit sie jeweils mindestens einen Leiteranschluß mit freiem bodenseitigen Steckkontaktelement haben. In anderweitigen Benutzungsfällen für derartige Verteilerleisten kann das Stromleitstück 13, dann gegebenenfalls in völlig anderer Formgestaltung, beispielsweise zu einer benachbart angeordneten, beispielsweise direkt im Gehäuse des Anschlußblockes angeordneten Funktionsleiterplatte führen. Bei Einsatz in Initiatorenklemmenblocks könnte das Stromleitstück 13 in anderer Formgestalt beispielsweise zuKontrolleuchten oder Signaleinrichtungen führen.Distribution strips constructed in another way can also be used with such a Bridges can be connected to transfer potential, insofar as they each at least one conductor connection with a free bottom-side plug contact element to have. In other cases of use for such distribution strips can the Stromleitstück 13, then optionally in full different shape, for example adjacent to one arranged, for example directly in the housing of the connection block lead arranged functional circuit board. When used in Initiator terminal blocks could be the current conducting piece 13 in another Shape for example to control lights or signal devices to lead.

Anstatt der vorstehend beschriebenen zweipoligen Querverteilung kann auch eine mehrpolige Verteilung mit einem mehrpoligen Brücker 14' auf mehrere parallele Verteilerleisten vorteilhaft sein. Der in Figur 5 illustrierte Brücker 14' hat hierzu eine verlängerte Verbindungsschiene 15' mit den Federstücken 17. Zwischen ihnen und dem nicht dargestellten umgebogenen Ende mit einer Stecklasche 18 sind an Einkröpfungen 27 der Verbindungsschiene 15' weitere nach oben weisende Stecklaschen 18 vorgesehen.Instead of the two-pole cross-distribution described above also a multi-pole distribution with a multi-pole jumper 14 ' multiple parallel manifolds may be beneficial. The one in FIG illustrated jumper 14 'has an extended connecting rail for this purpose 15 'with the spring pieces 17.
