Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Montieren sogenannter schwerer, elektrischer Steckverbindereinsätze auf Tragschienen, mit einer auf der Tragschiene verrastbaren Montageplatte und seitlichen Befestigungselementen mit Beinen zum Verrasten mit der Montageplatte in unterschiedlichen Stellungen entsprechend unterschiedlicher Steckverbindereinsatzlängen und mit einer Aufnahme für die Schmalseiten der Steckverbindereinsätze. Bei einer derartigen bekannten Vorrichtung (DE-93 08 325 U1) bestehen die seitlichen Befestigungselemente aus Aufnahmestücken für die Schmalseitenbereiche der Steckverbindereinsätze, an die ständerartige Beine angeformt sind, so daß jedes seitliche Befestigungselement mit seinen beiden Beinen mit der Montageplatte verrastet wird. Die handelsüblichen Steckverbindereinsätze werden vielfach mit in die entsprechenden Anschlußflansche eingebrachten Befestigungsschrauben geliefert, mit denen sie üblicherweise in Gußgehäusen derartiger schwerer Steckverbinder festgeschraubt werden. Bei der bekannten Anordnung werden die Steckverbindereinsätze mit diesen Schrauben im oberen Bereich der seitlichen Befestigungselemente verschraubt.The invention relates to a device for mounting so-called heavy, electrical connector inserts on mounting rails, with a mounting plate that can be locked on the mounting rail and side Fasteners with legs for locking with the mounting plate in different positions corresponding to different connector insert lengths and with a holder for the narrow sides of the Connector inserts. In such a known device (DE-93 08 325 U1) consist of the lateral fastening elements Receptacles for the narrow side areas of the connector inserts, are integrally formed on the stand-like legs, so that each side Fastening element with its two legs with the mounting plate is locked. The standard connector inserts are often brought into the corresponding connection flanges Fixing screws supplied with which they are usually used in Cast housings of such heavy connectors are screwed. In the known arrangement, the connector inserts are used these screws in the upper area of the side fasteners screwed.

Bei der bekannten Ausgestaltung sind Montage und Demontage der Steckverbindereinsätze auf der der Verrastung auf der Tragschiene dienenden Montageplatte handhabungsunbequem, da das Betätigen von Schrauben zu erfolgen hat und zumindest immer zwei Verrastungen gleichzeitig gelöst werden müssen. Auch die Flexibilität des Einsatzes erscheint verbesserungsbedürftig. In the known embodiment, assembly and disassembly of the connector inserts on the one serving for locking on the mounting rail Mounting plate inconvenient to use because the operation of screws too has taken place and at least always released two catches at the same time Need to become.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, die bei einfachem konstruktiven Aufbau bezüglich Montage und Demontage besonders handhabungsbequem und in der Anwendung flexibel ist.The present invention has for its object a device of the generic type to create the simple constructive Construction with regard to assembly and disassembly particularly easy to handle and is flexible in application.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß die seitlichen Befestigungselemente aus mit der Montageplatte verrastbaren einzelnen Beinelementen und mit den Beinelementen verrastbaren Haltern bestehen, denen Verrastungslöseelemente zugeordnet sind und die jeweils innenseitig offene Formschluß-Steckaufnahmen für die Schmalseiten der Steckverbindereinsätze, gegebenenfalls samt deren Befestigungsschrauben, aufweisen.The solution according to the invention consists essentially in that the lateral fasteners made of lockable with the mounting plate individual leg elements and holders that can be locked with the leg elements exist, which are assigned latch release elements and each internally open form-fitting plug-in receptacles for the narrow sides of the Connector inserts, including their fastening screws if necessary, exhibit.

Ein derartiger Bausatz, insgesamt bestehend aus der Montageplatte, den vier einzelnen Beinelementen und den beiden Haltern, ist außerordentlich handhabungsbequem, da bei der Montage zunächst die vier einzelnen Beinelemente mit der Montageplatte verrastet werden, dann die beiden Halter seitlich auf die Schmalseiten des Steckverbindereinsatzes unter Benutzung der Formschlußsteckaufnahmen gesteckt werden und diese Anordnung dann lediglich auf die vier Beinelemente aufgesetzt und durch weiteren Druck verrastet wird. Der Steckverbindereinsatz hat dann dank der Formschlußsteckaufnahmen in den Haltern ohne weitere Handhabungserfordernisse einen zuverlässigen stabilen Halt. Insbesondere auch die Demontage ist sehr handhabungsbequem, da es genügt, auf den beiden Seiten die Verrastung zwischen den beiden Haltern und den Beinelementen durch Betätigung der den Haltern zugeordneten Verrastungslöseelemente zu lösen. Man kann dann den Steckverbindereinsatz mit den beiden Haltern abnehmen und im Bedarfsfall die Beinelemente einzeln entrasten und erforderlichenfalls bei einer neuen Montage in einer anderen gewünschten Stellung mit der Montageplatte erneut verrasten.Such a kit, consisting overall of the mounting plate, the four individual leg elements and the two holders, is extraordinary easy to use, because when installing the four individual Leg elements are locked with the mounting plate, then the two Bracket on the narrow sides of the connector insert Use the form-fitting plug-in receptacles and these Arrangement then only placed on the four leg elements and through further pressure is locked. The connector insert then has thanks the form-fitting receptacles in the holders without any further handling requirements a reliable stable hold. Especially the Disassembly is very easy to use as it is sufficient on the two The latch between the two holders and the leg elements by actuating the latch release elements assigned to the holders to solve. You can then insert the connector with the two Remove the holders and, if necessary, unlatch the leg elements individually and if necessary with a new assembly in another Lock the desired position with the mounting plate again.

Bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung der Montageplatte mit einem entsprechenden Satz von Gegenrasten für die einzelnen Beinelemente beispielsweise dergestalt, daß alle unterschiedlichen Längen der Steckverbindereinsätze nach DIN 43652 erfaßt sind, ist dieser Bausatz auch in der Anwendung besonders flexibel.With an appropriate design of the mounting plate with a corresponding Set of counter-catches for the individual leg elements, for example in such a way that all different lengths of the connector inserts according to DIN 43652, this kit is also in the Application particularly flexible.

In weiterer sehr zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung sind die Verrastungslöseelemente Hebel, die derart ausgestaltet und drehbar an den Haltern gelagert sind, daß ihre Betätigungsbewegung im Sinne der Verrastungslösung nach innen auf den Steckverbindereinsatz zu gerichtet ist. Dies ermöglicht in besonders handhabungsbequemer Weise eine Einhand-betätigung für die gleichzeitige Verrastungslösung auf beiden Seiten.In a further very expedient embodiment, the latch release elements are Levers designed and rotatable on the holders are stored that their actuation movement in the sense of the latching solution is directed inwards towards the connector insert. This enables one-hand operation in a manner that is particularly easy to handle for the simultaneous locking solution on both sides.

In Figur 1 ist ein sogenannter schwerer, elektrischer Steckverbindereinsatz 1 gezeigt, der an seinen Schmalseitenbereichen jeweils eine Flanschzone 2 hat, in der vielfach bereits herstellerseitig Befestigungsschrauben 3 angeordnet sind, mit denen er in bestimmten Anwendungsfällen in einem Gußgehäuse fest verschraubt werden kann. Bei dem hier betroffenen Anwendungsfall wird demgegenüber der Steckverbindereinsatz 1 mit Hilfe einer nachfolgend im einzelnen zu beschreibenden Vorrichtung auf einer Tragschiene 4 montiert, gegebenenfalls auf dieser Tragschiene 4 in Anreihung mit weiteren derartigen Steckverbindereinsätzen oder sonstigen anreihbaren Elementen derartiger Schaltungsanlagen.In Figure 1 is a so-called heavy, electrical connector insert 1 shown, each on its narrow side areas Flange zone 2 has, in many cases, fastening screws already provided by the manufacturer 3 are arranged with which it is used in certain applications can be screwed tightly in a cast housing. In the case of the application concerned here, however, the connector insert is used 1 with the help of one to be described in detail below Device mounted on a mounting rail 4, if necessary on this mounting rail 4 in line with other such Connector inserts or other stackable elements of such Circuit systems.

Die Vorrichtung beinhaltet eine Montageplatte 5, die auf der Tragschiene 4 aufrastbar ist. Im entsprechenden Fußbereich hat die Montageplatte 5 auf der einen Seite mehrere Haken 6, die den Schenkel der Tragschiene auf der einen Seite untergreifen können, während auf der anderen Seite in üblicher Weise ein an seinem vorderen Wirkende einen Haken (7a) tragender Schieber 7 vorgesehen ist, der im Bodenbereich der Montageplatte 5 gegen die Kraft einer Feder (nicht dargestellt) verschieblich gelagert ist und geführt ist. Die Federkraft drückt den Schieber in die Verrastungsstellung mit dem Schenkel der Tragschiene. Durch Zurückziehen des Schiebers 7, z. B. mittels eines Schraubendrehers, gegen die Federkraft erfolgt das Abrasten von der Tragschiene.The device includes a mounting plate 5, which is on the mounting rail 4 can be snapped on. The mounting plate has in the corresponding foot area 5 on one side several hooks 6, which the leg of the Can reach under on one side, while on the other side in the usual way one at its front end Hook (7a) carrying slider 7 is provided in the bottom area the mounting plate 5 against the force of a spring (not shown) is slidably mounted and guided. The spring force presses the Slide into the locked position with the leg of the mounting rail. By pulling back the slider 7, e.g. B. by means of a screwdriver, against the spring force it is snapped off the mounting rail.

In der Montageplatte 5 befinden sich nach oben offene Raststecklöcher 8, die paarweise angeordnet sind und die der verrastenden Aufnahme von insgesamt vier einzelnen Beinelementen 9 dienen. Auf die Schmalseitenbereiche des Steckverbinders 1 einschließlich der Befestigungsschrauben 3 können in noch näher zu beschreibender Weise Halter 10 aufgesteckt werden, die ihrerseits lösbar mit jeweils einem Paar der Beinelemente 9 verrastet werden können. In the mounting plate 5 there are latching holes which are open at the top 8, which are arranged in pairs and that of the latching receptacle serve from a total of four individual leg elements 9. On the narrow side areas of connector 1 including the fastening screws 3 can holder 10 in a manner to be described in more detail be plugged on, which in turn can be detached with a pair of each Leg elements 9 can be locked.

Die Abstände der paarweise angeordneten Raststecklöcher 8 der Montageplatte 5 sind im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel so gewählt, daß je nach Bedarf die Paare der Beinelemente 9 einen Abstand voneinander haben können, der den unterschiedlichen Längen der Steckverbindereinsätze gemäß DIN 43652 entspricht. Die Raststecklöcher 8 werden an zwei Seiten und im Bodenbereich durch einen U-förmigen Gehäuseabschnitt 11 begrenzt und sind an den beiden anderen einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten unterhalb der oberen Begrenzungswand 12 der Montageplatte 9 freigeschnitten, so daß in diesen Freischneidungen die Verrastung mitden Beinelementen 9 erfolgen kann. Zu diesem Zweck haben die Beinelemente 9 an ihren unteren Enden einen starren Schenkel 13 und, diesem gegenüberliegend und relativ zu ihm elastisch beweglich, einen Federschenkel 14. Der starre Schenkel 13 kann mit einem Rasthaken 15 in die entsprechende Freischneidung des Raststeckloches 8 eingreifen, wozu der Federschenkel 14 ebenfalls einen Rasthaken 16 aufweist. Über diesem Rasthaken 16 abständig entsprechend der Wandstärke der oberen Begrenzungswand 12 befindet sich ein Stützsteg 17. Dank der geschilderten Verrastung mit derartigen Raststecklöchern und mit den beiden Schenkeln 13 und 14 an den Beinelementen 9 ergibt sich eine außerordentlich stabile, lösbare Befestigung der Beinelemente 9 an der Montageplatte 5. Das Lösen der Verrastung geschieht durch Einwärtsdrücken der Federschenkel 14. In zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung können die Raststecklöcher 8 jeweils auf einer Seite eine kleine Nut 18 haben, während unter den Stützstegen 17 an entsprechender Stelle ein in die Nut 18 passender Steg 19 unterseitig vorgesehen ist. Nut 18 und Steg 19 wirken als Verdrehsicherung und gewährleisten die Einsteckung der Beinelemente 9 in der richtigen Drehlage. Der Abstand des starren Schenkels 13 und des Federschenkels 14 an den Beinelementen 9 ist so gewählt, daß beispielsweise hier noch eine zusätzliche Stromschiene, beispielsweise eine Sammelschiene (nicht dargestellt), durch ein Beinelementenpaar hindurchgesteckt werden kann. Eine solche Schiene oder ein sonstiges hindurchsteckbares Element kann zugleich die Verrastung zwischen den Beinelementen 9 in der Montageplatte 9 verriegeln. The distances between the paired locking plug holes 8 of the mounting plate 5 are chosen in the illustrated embodiment so that depending on the need, the pairs of leg elements 9 are spaced apart the different lengths of the connector inserts according to DIN 43652. The locking plug holes 8 are on two sides and in the bottom area by a U-shaped housing section 11 limited and are opposite to each other on the other two Sides below the upper boundary wall 12 of the mounting plate 9 cut free, so that the catches in these clearances can be done with the leg elements 9. For this purpose, the Leg elements 9 at their lower ends a rigid leg 13 and, opposite this and elastically movable relative to it, one Spring leg 14. The rigid leg 13 can with a locking hook 15 engage in the corresponding free cut of the locking plug hole 8, for which the spring leg 14 also has a latching hook 16. Above this locking hook 16, according to the wall thickness of the upper boundary wall 12 is a support web 17. Thanks to the described locking with such locking plug holes and with two legs 13 and 14 on the leg elements 9 results in one extraordinarily stable, releasable attachment of the leg elements 9 of the mounting plate 5. The locking is released by Pushing the spring legs inwards. In a practical embodiment the locking plug holes 8 can each have a small groove on one side 18 have, while under the support webs 17 in the appropriate place a web 19 fitting into the groove 18 is provided on the underside. Groove 18 and web 19 act as anti-rotation and ensure the insertion the leg elements 9 in the correct rotational position. The distance of the rigid leg 13 and the spring leg 14 on the leg elements 9 is selected so that, for example, an additional conductor rail for example a busbar (not shown) by a pair of leg elements can be inserted. Such a rail or another element that can be pushed through can also be the Locking between the leg elements 9 in the mounting plate 9 lock.
