Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for mounting so-called heavy, electrical connector inserts on mounting rails, with a mounting plate which can be locked on the mounting rail and lateral fastening elements with legs for locking with the mounting plate in different positions corresponding to different connector insert lengths and with a receptacle for the narrow sides of the connector inserts.
  • the lateral fastening elements consist of receptacles for the narrow side regions of the connector inserts, to which stand-like legs are molded, so that each lateral fastening element is locked with its two legs to the mounting plate.
  • the commercially available connector inserts are often supplied with mounting screws inserted into the corresponding connecting flanges, with which they are usually screwed into the cast housing of such heavy connectors.
  • the connector inserts are screwed with these screws in the upper area of the lateral fastening elements.
  • assembly and disassembly of the connector inserts on the mounting plate serving for latching on the mounting rail are uncomfortable to use, since the actuation of screws has to be carried out and at least two latches must always be released simultaneously.
  • the flexibility of use also appears to be in need of improvement.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device of the generic type, which is particularly easy to handle and flexible in use with a simple structural design in terms of assembly and disassembly.
  • the solution according to the invention essentially consists in the fact that the lateral fastening elements consist of individual leg elements which can be locked with the mounting plate and holders which can be locked with the leg elements, to which locking release elements are assigned, and the form-fitting plug-in receptacles which are open on the inside for the narrow sides of the connector inserts, optionally including their fastening screws, exhibit.
  • Such a kit consisting overall of the mounting plate, the four individual leg elements and the two brackets, is extremely easy to use, since during assembly, the four individual leg elements are first latched to the mounting plate, then the two brackets are used laterally on the narrow sides of the connector insert the form-fitting plug-in receptacles are inserted and this arrangement is then simply placed on the four leg elements and locked by further pressure.
  • the connector insert then has a reliable stable hold thanks to the form-fitting receptacles in the holders without any further handling requirements.
  • the disassembly is also very easy to handle, since it is sufficient to release the latching between the two holders and the leg elements on both sides by actuating the latch release elements assigned to the holders. You can then remove the connector insert with the two holders and unlatch the leg elements individually if necessary and, if necessary, lock again with the mounting plate in a new desired position in a new assembly.
  • this kit is also particularly flexible in use.
  • the latch release elements are levers which are designed and rotatably mounted on the holders in such a way that their actuating movement in the sense of the latch solution is directed inwards towards the connector insert. This enables one-hand operation for the simultaneous locking solution on both sides in a particularly convenient manner.
  • FIG 1 a so-called heavy, electrical connector insert 1 is shown, each of which has a flange zone 2 on its narrow side areas, in which fastening screws 3 are often already arranged by the manufacturer, with which it can be firmly screwed in a cast housing in certain applications.
  • the connector insert 1 is mounted on a mounting rail 4 with the aid of a device to be described in detail below, if appropriate on this mounting rail 4 in a row with further such connector inserts or other elements of such circuit systems that can be arranged in rows.
  • the device includes a mounting plate 5 which can be snapped onto the mounting rail 4.
  • the mounting plate 5 has on one side a plurality of hooks 6 which can reach under the leg of the mounting rail on one side, while on the other side a slide 7 (7a) carrying a hook (7a) is provided in the usual way , which is mounted and guided in the bottom region of the mounting plate 5 against the force of a spring (not shown).
  • the spring force pushes the slide into the locked position with the leg of the mounting rail.
  • latching plug holes 8 which are open at the top and which are arranged in pairs and which serve to latch a total of four individual leg elements 9.
  • Holders 10 can be plugged onto the narrow side regions of the plug connector 1, including the fastening screws 3, to be described in more detail, which in turn can be releasably locked to a pair of the leg elements 9.
  • the distances between the paired locking plug holes 8 of the mounting plate 5 are chosen in the illustrated embodiment so that, depending on requirements, the pairs of leg elements 9 can have a distance from one another which corresponds to the different lengths of the connector inserts according to DIN 43652.
  • the locking plug holes 8 are delimited on two sides and in the bottom area by a U-shaped housing section 11 and are cut free on the two other opposite sides below the upper boundary wall 12 of the mounting plate 9, so that the locking with the leg elements 9 can take place in these clearances.
  • the leg elements 9 have at their lower ends a rigid leg 13 and, opposite this and elastically movable relative to it, a spring leg 14.
  • the rigid leg 13 can engage with a latching hook 15 in the corresponding cutout of the latching plug hole 8, for which purpose
  • Spring leg 14 also has a locking hook 16.
  • Groove 18 and web 19 act as an anti-rotation device and ensure that the leg elements 9 are inserted in the correct rotational position.
  • the distance between the rigid leg 13 and the spring leg 14 on the leg elements 9 is selected so that, for example, an additional busbar, for example a busbar (not shown), can be inserted through a pair of leg elements.
  • an additional busbar for example a busbar (not shown)
  • Such a rail or another element which can be pushed through can at the same time lock the latching between the leg elements 9 in the mounting plate 9.
  • the holder 10 have for the secure reception of the flange zones 2 on the narrow sides of the connector insert 1 including the fastening screws 3, each inside open form-fit plug-in receptacles 20 which are contoured in their opening area according to the flange zone including the fastening screws 3, but otherwise laterally above and below and in Background of material areas of the holder 10 are surrounded, so that the narrow side areas of the connector insert 1 with the help of these form-fitting receptacles 20 in the holder 10 without further handling measures such as screwing and the like have a secure hold.
  • leg elements 9 which includes the blind holes 22, elastically displaceable further spring struts 23 are formed on these, in which transverse grooves 24 run.
  • the spring struts 23 serve to lock the leg elements 9 with the holders 10.
  • the holders 10 have cutouts 25 in the lower, outwardly facing wall region of the shafts 21, which are delimited at the bottom at the opening end of the shafts 21 by webs 26.
  • the spring struts 23 are a little thicker below the transverse groove 24 and on the opposite side of the leg element 9 there is also a shoulder 27, also in widening the leg thickness.
  • the underside of the web 26 can relate to the material widening Place below the transverse groove 24, and the opposite lower boundary edge of the shaft 21 on the shoulder 27.
  • a latch release element is assigned to each of the holders 10.
  • a lever 28 expediently designed as an angle lever, is rotatably mounted in each of the holders 10 for this purpose.
  • lateral guide bolts 29 are integrally formed on the lower end of the angular lever 28, which can be pressed into a pivot bearing 30 tapering downwards in the side cheeks 31 of the holder 10.
  • both levers 28 must each be turned inwards in the direction of the connector insert 1 in order to release the latching. This enables convenient one-hand operation of both levers 28 of both holders 10 at the same time.
  • a web 35 which is provided with through-slots and which serves for the passage of cable ties.
  • plug openings 36 are provided on both sides in an expedient manner with insertion bevels, into which coding pieces 37 for coding the plug connection of the connector insert 1 can be snapped.
  • plug receptacles 38 are also formed in the outwardly angled area, into which the identification plates 39 can be snapped. Also for the purpose of designation, a dovetail groove 40 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 5 for receiving a label.
  • the mounting plate 5 also has a feed-through hole 41 for receiving a PE connecting screw for the mounting rail 4.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 which in particular contains additional elements to the kit described above, with the aid of which the foldability of the connector insert 1 can be ensured.
  • a first such additional element is a tilting element 42, of which two pieces are provided in the kit, which can be snapped onto one side of a pair of leg elements 9.
  • the tilting element 42 is divided into a lower part 44 and an upper part 45 by a swivel joint 43 which can be rotated on the order of 110-130 °.
  • the upper part 45 can be rotated outwards relative to the lower part 44 over the predetermined rotation angle in latching steps of approximately 25 ° in each case.
  • the lower part 44 is configured similarly to the shaft 21 of the holder 10, so it can be snapped onto a leg element 9 and, in particular, contains a counter-locking element for the transverse groove 24 of the spring strut 23 of the leg element 9 in the interior (not shown).
