Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Geräteanschluß nach dem des Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device connection according to the the preamble of claim 1.

Üblicherweise sind Geräteanschlußdosen, insbesondere Herdanschlußdosen, mit Hilfe von Klammern oder Krampen in entsprechenden Wandlöchern befestigt. Eine derartige, z.B. aus der DE 31 20 414 A1 bekannte Anschlußdose bestehen aus einem in der Regel flachbauenden Dosenhohlkörper, welcher eine Klemme aufnimmt. Die Klemme ist üblicherweise auf einer Klemmenseite mit den aus der Wand herausmündenden Anschlußleitem verbunden.Device sockets are usually especially stove junction boxes, with the help of clamps or staples in corresponding Wall holes attached. Such, e.g. known from DE 31 20 414 A1 junction box consist of a generally flat hollow can, which picks up a clamp. The clamp is usually on one side of the clamp connected to the connecting leads opening out of the wall.

Zur Montage eines Herdes oder eines anderen Gerätes ist es erforderlich, daß der Elektriker zunächst am Leitungseingang des Herdes oder sonstigen elektrischen Geräten eine Leitung anschließt, die Geräteanschlußdose öffnet und diese Leitung an die in der Anschlußdose vorhandene Klemme anschließt.To assemble a stove or other device, it is necessary that the Electricians first at the line entrance of the cooker or other electrical Devices connects a line, the device connection box opens and this line connects to the terminal in the junction box.

Dies ist nachteilig, weil Küchen oder sonstige Einbauten üblicherweise von Schreinern oder Tischlern vorgenommen werden. Das Anschließen des elektrischen Herdes muß schon aus versicherungstechnischen Gründen durch einen Elektriker erfolgen. Da der Zeitaufwand für das Anschließen des Gerätes in der Regel sehr niedrig ist, übersteigt der Zeitaufwand für den An- und Abmarsch des Elektrikers den Zeitaufwand für das Anschließen bei weitem.This is disadvantageous because kitchens or other installations are usually from Carpenters or carpenters can be made. Connecting the electrical Cooker must be for insurance reasons by one Electricians are done. Since the time required to connect the device in the Is usually very low, the time required for the arrival and departure of the Electrician's way of connecting by far.

Außerdem ist es bei den Herdanschlußdosen nach dem Stand der Technik erforderlich, den genauen Standort des Gerätes im Raum vorher zu kennen, weil der Elektriker die Geräteanschlußdose gewissermaßen passgenau am späteren Standort des Gerätes anordnen muß.In addition, with the cooker junction boxes according to the prior art, it is necessary to know the exact location of the device in the room beforehand because of the Electricians fit the device junction box to a certain extent on later The location of the device must be arranged.

Ausgehend von diesen Problemen liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen derartigen Geräteanschluß zu vereinfachen. Based on these problems, the The invention has for its object to simplify such a device connection.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Dazu is der elektrische Anschluß an der Geräteanschlußdose als Buchse auszugestalten. Diese Buchse ist vorzugsweise mehrpolig. In die Buchse ist ein komplementär dazu ausgebildeter Stecker einführbar. Da die beispielsweise aus DIN 57 606 bekannten Geräteanschlußdosen nur sehr flachbauend sind und hinter dem Gerät meistens nur ein sehr geringer Einbauraum und damit auch Steckraum für den Stecker vorgesehen ist, sieht die Erfindung weiterhin vor, daß die Steckrichtung des Steckers senkrecht zur Befestigungsrichtung der Anschlußdose erfolgt. Der Stecker wird gewissermaßen seitlich in die an der Wand adaptierte Anschlußdose eingeführt.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1. This is the electrical connection to the junction box designed as a socket. This socket is preferred multipolar. A complementary plug can be inserted into the socket. Since the device connection boxes known for example from DIN 57 606 are only very flat and usually only a very small one behind the device Installation space and thus also plug-in space for the plug is provided Invention further before that the plug direction of the plug perpendicular to the mounting direction the junction box. The plug is, as it were, on the side inserted into the wall outlet adapted to the wall.

Vorteilhaft nach der Erfindung ist die Tatsache, daß in die Buchse an der Anschlußdose nur ein am Gerät vorgesehener Stecker eingeschoben werden. Für diese Anschlußart mittels eines Steckers ist es jedoch nicht erforderlich, einen Elektriker zu beauftragen. Vielmehr sind die Anschlüsse sowohl an der Buchse als auch am Stecker derart vorkonfektioniert, daß das Einstecken auch durch eine Nicht-Fachkraft realisierbar ist.The advantage of the invention is the fact that in the socket on the junction box only a plug provided on the device can be inserted. For this type of connection by means of a plug, however, it is not necessary to use one Hire an electrician. Rather, the connections to both the socket and also pre-assembled on the connector in such a way that it can also be inserted through a Is not feasible.

Nach dem Stand der Technik ist es ferner erforderlich, daß der Elektriker eine lange Anschlußschnur am Gerät anbringt und er dann in den begrenzten Einbauraum für das Gerät gewissermaßen hineinkriecht, um das lange Anschlußkabel an der Klemme in der wandbefestigten Anschlußdose anzuschließen. Dieses Anschließen erfordert üblicherweise mehrere Schraub- bzw. Steckvorgänge in räumlich beengten Verhältnissen.According to the prior art, it is also necessary for the electrician to have a attaches long connecting cord to the device and then into the limited installation space for the device, so to speak, crawls in to the long connection cable the terminal in the wall-mounted junction box. This connecting usually requires several screwing or plugging operations in space cramped conditions.

Mit der Erfindung ist es im Gegensatz dazu möglich, beispielsweise das dem anzuschließenden Gerät benachbarte Element aus der Küchenzeile herauszuziehen, am Gerät selbst eine nur kurze Anschlußleitung vorzusehen und vom Einbauraum des Nachbarelements her einfach den Stecker seitlich in die Buchse an der Geräteanschlußdose einzustecken. Diese Anordnung der Buchse in einer Seitenwand des Dosengehäuses ist Gegenstand des Anspruchs 2. In contrast, with the invention it is possible, for example, that to be connected Device to pull neighboring element out of the kitchen unit, provide only a short connection cable on the device itself and the installation space of the neighboring element simply plug the connector into the side of the socket the device connection socket. This arrangement of the socket in one Side wall of the can housing is the subject of claim 2.

Es ist vorteilhaft, die Buchse mit einer Kodierung zu versehen, so daß gewährleistet ist, daß stets die richtigen Pole des Steckers mit den entsprechenden Polen der Buchse in Kontakt gelangen.It is advantageous to use a socket To provide coding so that it is ensured that the correct poles of the Come into contact with the corresponding poles of the socket.

Die Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 4 gewährleistet als zusätzliche formschlüssige Verrastung zum einen eine betriebssichere Stecker-Buchsen-Verbindung. Zum anderen ist die Verrastung so ausgestaltet, daß beim Verrasten ein deutliches Klicken zu hören ist. Dieses Klicken ist also eine akustische Kontrolle für das Zustandekommen der elektrischen Verbindung.The embodiment according to claim 4 ensures as an additional positive locking on the one hand a reliable plug-socket connection. Second is the latching is designed so that a clear click can be heard when latching is. So this click is an acoustic control for the creation the electrical connection.

Am Stecker kann eine Zugentlastung vorgesehen sein, um den diesbezüglichen Normen zu entsprechen. Ein Verlängerungsteil mit einem Kabelstück, an dessen einem Freienden ein zur Anschlußbuchse an der Geräteanschlußdose komplementär ausgebildeter Stecker fixiert ist und an dessen anderem Freiende eine Anschlußbuchse vorgesehen ist, ermöglicht eine anschlußdosenferne Gerätemontage. Mit dem Stecker ist das Verlängerungsteil bzw. Verlängerungskabel an der wandbefestigten Geräteanschlußdose angeschlossen, während das Gerät um die Länge des Verlängerungskabels beabstandet von der wandbefestigten Anschlußdose aufgestellt ist. Der Anschluß des Gerätes erfolgt über den geräteeigenen Stecker einerseits und der am Verlängerungskabel vorgesehenen Buchse andererseits.A strain relief can be provided on the plug in order to relieve the relevant Standards. An extension part with a piece of cable, at one of its free ends one to the connection socket on the device connection box Complementally trained connector is fixed and on its other Free end a connection socket is provided enables remote installation of the device. With the plug is the extension part or extension cable on the wall-mounted device connection box connected while the device runs the length of the extension cord is set up at a distance from the wall-mounted junction box. The connection of the device takes place via the device's own plug on the one hand and on the extension cable provided socket on the other hand.

Mit Hilfe des Verlängerungsteils ist es auch möglich, die Geräteanschlußdose in solchen Wandbereichen anzubringen, wo beispielsweise keine Wasserleitungen oder ähnliches verlaufen, welche eine Anbringung einer konventionellen Dose nach dem Stand der Technik verhindern würden. Außerdem ist durch die konsequente Weiterbildung der Stecktechnik wirksam verhindert, daß etwa Heimwerker selbstständig versuchen, wandbefestigte Geräteanschlußdosen hinsichtlich ihres Ortes zu verlegen. Vielmehr wird der Heimwerker den sehr viel einfacheren Weg gehen, ein geräteanschlußdosenfernes Gerät mittels eines Verlängerungsteils an der vorhandenen Geräteanschlußdose anzuschließen.With the help of the extension part, it is also possible to put the device connection box in to install such wall areas where, for example, no water pipes or the like, which is an attachment of a conventional box would prevent according to the prior art. It is also consistent Further training in plug-in technology effectively prevents do-it-yourselfers try independently, wall-mounted junction boxes with regard to their Place to relocate. Rather, the handyman will take the much easier route go to a device remote from the junction box by means of an extension part to connect the existing junction box.

Schließlich ist es mit dem Verlängerungsteil auch möglich, am Gerät ein einem Stecker entsprechendes Rast-in-Teil vorzusehen und den Anschluß des Gerätes an der Geräteanschlußdose derart zu realisieren, daß die am einen Freiende des Verlängerungsteils angeschlossene Anschlußbuchse in das Rast-in-Teil eingerastet wird und der zur Anschlußbuchse an der Geräteanschlußdose komplementär ausgestaltete Stecker am anderen Freiende des Verlängerungsteils in die Buchse an der Geräteanschlußdose eingesteckt wird. Hierbei ist stets darauf zu achten, daß stromführende Teile stets als Buchse ausgestaltet sind, um die Verletzungsgefahr beim Anschließen zu verhiridern.Finally, it is also possible with the extension part on Device to provide a snap-in part corresponding to a plug and the connection to implement the device on the device connection box in such a way that the a free end of the extension part connected to the connector Snap-in part is snapped into place and that to the connection socket on the device connection box Complementally designed connector on the other free end of the extension part is plugged into the socket on the device connection socket. in this connection Always make sure that live parts are always designed as sockets to avoid the risk of injury when connecting.

Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Weiterbildung der Anschlußdose ist neben der als elektrischer Anschluß wirksamen mehrpoligen Buchse eine weitere Anschlußbuchse vorgesehen, welche eine Busleitungsbuchse bildet. An diese Busleitungsbuchse ist eine Datenübertragungsleitung, insbesondere eine Busleitung anschließbar. Das elektrische Gerät verfügt bei dieser Ausführungsform über einen sogenannten Bus-Koppelbaustein und ist über ein an sich bekanntes Bussystem steuerbar bzw. in ein busgesteuertes Installationssystem integrierbar. Während die Energieübertragung auf konventionellem Weg über die Buchse erfolgt, wird das Gerät zusätzlich über die Busleitungsbuchse angesteuert. Es ist beispielsweise bekannt, Installationssysteme in Gebäuden mit entsprechenden Verteilern vorzusehen, welche die in das Installationssystem integrierten Verbraucher zentral steuern. Ein derartiges System ist beispielsweise bekannt aus der DE-A-42 00 818. Weiterhin ist ein derartiges Bussystem bekannt aus dem Hause der Anmelderin als "Wieland Installations Bus". According to an expedient development of the junction box is next to that as electrical Connection effective multi-pin socket provided a further connection socket, which forms a bus line socket. A data transmission line is connected to this bus line socket, in particular a bus line can be connected. The electrical In this embodiment, the device has a so-called bus coupling module and is controllable or in via a bus system known per se a bus-controlled installation system can be integrated. During the energy transfer in a conventional way via the Socket, the device is also connected via controlled the bus line socket. For example, installation systems are known to be provided in buildings with appropriate distributors, which the in centrally control the installation system of integrated consumers. Such a thing System is known for example from DE-A-42 00 818. Furthermore, such is Bus system known from the house of the applicant as "Wieland Installations Bus".

Die Kombination der Anschlußdose mit einer Busleitungsbuchse hat den Vorteil, daß sich die Anschlußdose zum Einbau in ein vorkonfektioniertes, insbesondere genormtes Datenbus-Regelungssystem eignet. Das anzuschließende Gerät kann einfach durch Einführen der entsprechenden, vorkonfektionierten Busleitungsstecker in die Busleitungsbuchse an ein intelligentes busgesteuertes Verteilersystem angeschlossen werden.The combination of the junction box with a bus line socket has the advantage that the junction box for installation in a pre-assembled, in particular standardized data bus control system. The device to be connected can be done simply by inserting the appropriate, pre-assembled bus cable connector into the bus line socket on an intelligent bus-controlled distribution system be connected.

An der Anschlußdose kann eine zweipolige Busleitungsbuchse zum Anschluß einer zweiadrigen Busleitung vorgesehen sein. In die zweipolige Busleitungsbuchse ist ein entsprechend zweipoliger Busleitungsstecker einfach einsteckbar. Um externe Störungen von der zweiadrigen Busleitung fernzuhalten, ist die zweiadrige Busleitung bevorzugt von einem elektrisch leitenden Mantel umgeben. Dieser Mantel wird als "Schirm" bezeichnet, weil er die zweiadrige Busleitung gegen externe elektrische Störfelder abschirmt. Um an den durch die Busleitungsstecker und entsprechenden Busleitungsbuchsen gebildeten Schnittstellen die Wirkung des Schirms nicht zu unterbrechen ist auch für die Verbindung ein weiterer, bei einer zweiadrigen Busleitung entsprechend dritter Pol vorgesehen zur Weiterleitung des Schirms.A two-pole bus line socket can be connected to the junction box be provided for connecting a two-wire bus line. In the two-pole bus line socket a corresponding two-pole bus line connector can be simply inserted. To keep external interference away from the two-wire bus line, the two-wire bus line is preferably surrounded by an electrically conductive jacket. This sheath is referred to as a "screen" because it is the two-wire bus line shields against external electrical interference fields. To the through the bus line connector and corresponding interfaces formed bus line sockets the interruption of the effect of the screen is also important for the connection Another, correspondingly provided third pole in a two-wire bus line to forward the screen.

Vorteilhafterweise sind sowohl die Buchse zur elektrischen Leistungsversorgung als auch die Busleitungsbuchse zum Anschluß an die digitale Bussteuerung in derselben Seitenwand der Anschlußdose nebeneinander angeordnet. Die Seitenwand ist dann gewissermaßen als Anschlußwand der Anschlußdose wirksam. Die Anordnung nebeneinander hat des weiteren den Vorteil, daß sowohl der elektrische Versorgungsstecker als auch der Busleitungsstecker in einem integralen Steckerteil zusammengefaßt sein können. Dieses integrale Steckerteil ist komplementär zur Anschlußwand ausgebildet. Durch Einstecken des integralen Steckerteils in die Anschlußwand ist gleichzeitig der Anschluß an die elektrische Leistungsversorgung einerseits und die Bussteuerung andererseits realisiert. Anhand des in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels ist die Erfindung näher erläutert:Advantageously, both the socket for electrical Power supply as well as the bus line socket for connection to the digital bus control side by side in the same side wall of the junction box arranged. The side wall is then to a certain extent as a connecting wall of the junction box effective. The arrangement next to one another has the further advantage that both the electrical supply connector and the bus line connector can be summarized in an integral plug part. This integral Plug part is complementary to the connecting wall. By plugging in of the integral plug part in the connection wall is the connection at the same time the electrical power supply on the one hand and the bus control on the other realized.
