Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Halter für einen zwei Anschlüsse aufweisenden temperaturabhängigen Schalter, mit einer Einrichtung zum Halten des Schalters und zumindest einem mit einem der Anschlüsse intern verbundenen Anschlußteil für externe Verbindung.The present invention relates to a holder for a two Connected temperature-dependent switch, with a Device for holding the switch and at least one with one of the connections internally connected connector for external Connection.

Ein derartiger Halter ist aus der DE 90 04 943 U1 bekannt. Such a holder is known from DE 90 04 943 U1.

Der bei dem bekannten Halter eingesetzte Schalter hat ein Gehäuse mit Metallunterteil, das als erster Anschluß für den Schalter dient. Am Deckel des Gehäuses ist ein zweiter Anschluß vorgesehen, an den eine Litze angelötet ist. Der Schalter wird zur Überwachung der Temperatur einer Spule eingesetzt, wozu er mit der Spule in Reihe zwischen deren Außenanschlüsse geschaltet wird. Im zulässigen Temperaturbereich ist der Schalter geschlossen, er öffnet sich erst, wenn eine maximal zulässige Temperatur überschritten wird. Der Schalter kann zum Beispiel ein derartiger Schalter sein, wie er aus der DE 21 21 802 A1 bekannt ist.The switch used in the known holder has a housing with metal base, which is the first connection for the switch serves. A second connection is provided on the cover of the housing, to which a strand is soldered. The switch will used to monitor the temperature of a coil, what for he with the coil in series between its external connections is switched. The switch is in the permissible temperature range closed, it only opens when a maximum permissible Temperature is exceeded. For example, the switch be such a switch, as described in DE 21 21 802 A1 is known.

Der bekannte Halter weist nun ein bügelförmiges Klemmteil aus Metall auf, das den Schalter am Metallunterteil hält und dort gleichzeitig kontaktiert. Der Halter weist ferner eine Stecklasche auf, über die er mit dem Spulenträger verrastet wird. Ferner ist am Halter eine Lötöse vorgesehen, an die nach dem Verrasten des Halters der Wicklungsdraht der zu schützenden Spule angelötet wird.The known holder now has a bow-shaped clamping part Metal on that holds the switch on the metal base and there contacted at the same time. The holder also has a tab on which it is locked with the coil carrier. Furthermore, a soldering lug is provided on the holder, to which after Lock the holder of the winding wire to be protected Coil is soldered.

Die an dem Deckel angelötete Litze wird für den Außenanschluß verwendet oder anderweitig an dem Spulenträger angelötet.The wire soldered to the cover is used for the external connection used or otherwise soldered to the coil carrier.

Bei dem bekannten Halter ist zum einen von Nachteil, daß er stromführend ist, was verständlichen Sicherheitsbedenken begegnet.In the known holder is a disadvantage that he is live, which is understandable safety concerns encountered.

Ein weiterer Nachteil liegt darin, daß der Wicklungsdraht an die Lötöse angelötet werden muß, was in der Regel von Hand erfolgt und somit ein merklicher Kostenfaktor bei der Fertigung der zu schützenden und mit dem temperaturabhängigen Schalter auszurüstenden Spule ist. Another disadvantage is that the winding wire is on the solder lug must be soldered, which is usually done by hand takes place and thus a noticeable cost factor in production the switch to be protected and with the temperature-dependent switch coil to be equipped.

Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Halter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der auf einfache und preiswerte Weise elektrisch mit einem zu schützenden Gerät verbunden werden kann und selbst konstruktiv einfach aufgebaut und zu montieren ist.Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to create a holder of the type mentioned that on simple and inexpensive way to protect electrically with a Device can be connected and even structurally simple assembled and assembled.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei dem eingangs erwähnten Schalter dadurch gelöst, daß an dem Anschlußteil eine Schneidklemme für die externe Verbindung vorgesehen ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in the aforementioned Switch solved in that an insulation displacement terminal on the connecting part is intended for the external connection.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird auf diese Weise vollkommen gelöst.The object on which the invention is based is achieved in this way completely solved.

Die Erfinder der vorliegenden Anmeldung haben nämlich erkannt, daß auch in Verbindung mit temperaturabhängigen Schaltern Verbindungen in Schneidklemmtechnik deutlich schneller und preiswerter herzustellen sind als zum Beispiel Löt- oder Klemmanschlüsse.The inventors of the present application have recognized that that also in connection with temperature-dependent switches Connections in insulation displacement technology significantly faster and are cheaper to manufacture than solder or Terminal connections.

Ein großer Vorteil der Schneidklemmtechnik liegt darin, daß sich die Verbindungen automatisiert durchführen lassen, was die Kosten weiter senkt.A great advantage of insulation displacement technology is that the connections can be carried out automatically, what further reduces costs.

Bevorzugt ist es dabei, wenn die interne Verbindung zwischen dem einen Anschluß und der Schneidklemme über eine Litze erfolgt, wobei vorzugsweise an dem Anschlußteil eine weitere Schneidklemme für die Litze vorgesehen ist.It is preferred if the internal connection between one connection and the insulation displacement terminal via a stranded wire, preferably a further insulation displacement terminal on the connecting part is provided for the strand.

Hier ist von Vorteil, daß auch die interne Verbindung auf denkbar einfache Weise hergestellt wird, so daß der Schalter einfach an dem neuen Halter zu montieren ist. Obwohl hier ein mit Litze vorkonfektionierter Schalter, der auch für sich zum Schützen von elektrischen Geräten verwendet werden kann, in den Halter eingesetzt wird, ergibt sich dennoch ein großer Montagevorteil für den Hersteller des zu schützenden Gerätes, der in der Herstellung der externen Verbindung liegt.The advantage here is that the internal connection is also conceivable manufactured in a simple manner so that the switch is simple to be mounted on the new holder. Although here one with a strand Pre-assembled switch, which can also be used for protection of electrical equipment can be used in the holder is used, there is still a great advantage in assembly for the manufacturer of the device to be protected, who in the Establishing the external connection.

Aber auch die Montage des Schalters an dem neuen Halter ist einfach und damit preiswert. Ferner ist von Vorteil, daß als Schalter ausgereifte Serienprodukte verwendet und in den Halter eingesetzt werden können, wobei je nach Anforderung des zu schützenden Gerätes verschiedene Serienschalter in denselben Halter eingesetzt werden können. Damit kann der neue Halter als Massenprodukt für verschiedene Applikationen eingesetzt werden, so daß er sehr preiswert herzustellen ist. Da auch die jeweils in den Halter einzusetzenden Schalter Massenprodukte sind, ist die aus Halter und Schalter zusammengebaute Vorrichtung insgesamt sehr preiswert, wobei sich für die Gerätehersteller der weitere Vorteil der einfachen Montage ergibt.But also the assembly of the switch on the new holder is simple and therefore inexpensive. It is also advantageous that as Switch mature series products used and in the holder can be used, depending on the requirements of the protective device different series switches in the same Holders can be used. So the new holder used as a mass product for various applications be, so that it is very inexpensive to manufacture. Since that too Bulk products to be inserted in the holder is the device assembled from the holder and switch overall very inexpensive, being for the device manufacturers the further advantage of simple assembly results.

Dabei ist es insgesamt bevorzugt, wenn ein weiteres Anschlußteil für externe Verbindung vorgesehen ist, das intern mit dem zweiten Anschluß verbunden ist.Overall, it is preferred if a further connection part is intended for external connection that internally with the second Connection is connected.

Hier ist von Vorteil, daß die Montage einer aus Halter und Schalter bestehenden Vorrichtung an einem zu schützenden Gerät weiter erleichtert wird. Das weitere Anschlußteil kann zum Beispiel ein kundenspezifischer Außenanschluß sein, wie eine Litze, eine Lötöse, eine Schraubklemme oder aber ebenfalls eine Schneidklemme. Der Hersteller des zu schützenden Gerätes spart sich damit sowohl die Übergabestelle zum Schalter als auch die Übergabestelle vom Schalter nach außen. Wenn hier wieder eine Schneidklemme eingesetzt wird, die über eine Litze mit dem zweiten Anschluß des Schalters über eine weitere Schneidklemme verbunden wird, verdoppeln sich sozusagen die obenerwähnten Vorteile bezüglich der Fertigungskosten. It is advantageous here that the assembly of a holder and Switch existing device on a device to be protected is further facilitated. The further connection part can Example of a customer-specific external connection, such as one Strand, a solder lug, a screw terminal or also one Insulation displacement. The manufacturer of the device to be protected saves both the transfer point to the counter and the Transfer point from the counter to the outside. If again here Insulation displacement clamp is used, which is connected to the second connection of the switch via another insulation displacement terminal is connected, the above-mentioned double, so to speak Manufacturing cost advantages.

Dabei ist es insgesamt bevorzugt, wenn die Schneidklemme für die interne Verbindung einstückig mit der Schneidklemme für die externe Verbindung, vorzugsweise als Steckteil, ausgebildet ist.Overall, it is preferred if the insulation displacement clamp for the internal connection in one piece with the insulation displacement clamp for the external connection, preferably designed as a plug-in part is.

Diese Maßnahme ist im Hinblick auf eine einfache Montage von Vorteil, denn beim Einstecken des Steckteiles in den Halter kann zum Beispiel gleichzeitig die Kontaktierung der weiteren Schneidklemme mit der Litze für die interne Verbindung erfolgen, so daß insgesamt nur sehr wenige Fertigungsschritte erforderlich sind.This measure is in view of a simple assembly of Advantage, because when the plug-in part is inserted into the holder can, for example, make contact with the other Insulation displacement clamp with the wire for the internal connection, so that overall only very few manufacturing steps are required are.

Dabei ist es insbesondere bevorzugt, wenn der Halter ein Kunststoffspritzteil ist, wobei vorzugsweise die Einrichtung zum Halten des Schalters eine Öffnung ist, die an die Kontur des Schalters angepaßt ist.It is particularly preferred if the holder is a Plastic injection part is, preferably the device for holding the switch is an opening that matches the contour the switch is adjusted.

Bei einem aus Kunststoff gefertigten Halter ist zunächst von Vorteil, daß er leicht und preiswert zu fertigen ist, wobei ein weiterer Vorteil darin besteht, daß er den Schalter und die Anschlüsse bzw. Schneidklemmen nach außen elektrisch isoliert. Damit kann der Halter beliebig an einem zu schützenden Geräte befestigt, zum Beispiel in eine dort vorgesehene Tasche eingeklemmt werden. Diese mechanische Befestigung kann automatisiert erfolgen, wobei nur geringe Anforderungen an die Lage zu stellen sind, da der Halter selbst nach außen elektrisch isoliert ist.In a holder made of plastic is initially from Advantage that it is easy and inexpensive to manufacture, whereby Another advantage is that it has the switch and the connections or insulation piercing externally electrically isolated. This means that the holder can be attached to any one to be protected Devices attached, for example in a pocket provided there be pinched. This mechanical attachment can be automated take place, with only small demands on the location are to be put, since the holder itself is electrical to the outside is isolated.

Darüber hinaus ergeben sich aber auch Vorteile bei der Montage des Schalters an dem Halter selbst, da der Schalter lediglich in die Öffnung eingedrückt werden muß, um ihn dort zu plazieren. In addition, there are also advantages in assembly of the switch on the holder itself, since the switch is only must be pushed into the opening to place it there.

Weiter ist es dann bevorzugt, wenn der neue Halter eine Tasche für das Steckteil sowie einen die Tasche und die Öffnung verbindenden Kanal für die Litze aufweist.It is further preferred if the new holder has a pocket for the plug-in part as well as the pocket and the opening connecting channel for the strand.

Auch diese Maßnahme ist im Hinblick auf eine leichte Montage des Schalters an dem neuen Halter von Vorteil, beim Einschieben des Schalters in die Öffnung kann nämlich gleichzeitig die Litze in den Kanal gelegt und von dort in die Tasche geführt werden, woraufhin nur noch das Steckteil in die Tasche geschoben werden muß, um für die elektrische Verbindung zwischen der Litze und dem Steckteil, also der Schneidklemme für die interne Verbindung zu sorgen. Diese Vorgänge sind insgesamt automatisierbar, bringen also merkliche Kostenvorteile mit sich.This measure is also in view of easy assembly the switch on the new holder is advantageous when inserting the switch in the opening can namely the wire at the same time put in the channel and from there into the pocket, whereupon only the plug-in part is pushed into the pocket must in order for the electrical connection between the strand and the plug-in part, i.e. the insulation displacement terminal for the internal connection to care. Overall, these processes can be automated therefore noticeable cost advantages.

Weiter ist es bevorzugt, wenn parallel zu der Schneidklemme für die externe Verbindung zwei Haltestege angeordnet sind, die symmetrisch zu einer Einstecköffnung der Schneidklemme verlaufen.It is further preferred if parallel to the insulation displacement terminal two holding bars are arranged for the external connection, which are symmetrical to an insertion opening of the insulation displacement terminal run.

Diese Maßnahme ist wiederum in Hinblick auf die externe Kontaktierung von Vorteil, denn durch die Haltestege werden die anzuschließenden Litzen zum einen geführt und zum anderen zugentlastet und vor Bruch geschützt.This measure is again with regard to external contacting an advantage, because the holding bars make the leads to be connected on the one hand and on the other strain relieved and protected against breakage.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung und der beigefügten Zeichnung.Further advantages result from the description and the attached drawing.

Es versteht sich, daß die vorstehend genannten und nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verlassen. It is understood that the above and below Features to be explained not only in the specified Combination, but also in other combinations or can be used alone, without the scope of to leave the present invention.

In Fig. 1 ist mit 10 ein Halter bezeichnet, der ein Kunststoffspritzteil ist. An dem Halter 10 ist ein temperaturabhängiger Schalter 11 angeordnet, der einen ersten Anschluß 12 sowie einen zweiten Anschluß 13 aufweist, die in Fig. 1 lediglich angedeutet sind, da sie unter einer isolierenden Schutzschicht liegen. Der erste Anschluß 12 ist mit einer Litze 14 verbunden, während an den zweiten Anschluß 13 eine Litze 15 angelötet ist.In Fig. 1, 10 denotes a holder which is a plastic injection molded part is. On the holder 10 is a temperature dependent Switch 11 is arranged, the first terminal 12 and one has second connection 13, which is only indicated in Fig. 1 because they are under an insulating protective layer. The first terminal 12 is connected to a strand 14 while a wire 15 is soldered to the second connection 13.

Der Schalter 11 sitzt in einer nach oben offenen Öffnung 17, die an seine Kontur 18 angepaßt ist. Von der Öffnung 17 erstreckt sich ein Kanal 21 zu einem Anschlußteil 22 für die externe Verbindung des Schalters 11. In dem Anschlußteil 22 ist eine Tasche 23 vorgesehen, in die der Kanal 21 mündet. Der Kanal 21 ist dazu abgewinkelt, wie sich aus der Ansicht des Halters 10 in Fig. 2 ergibt.The switch 11 is seated in an opening 17 which is open at the top, which is adapted to its contour 18. Extends from opening 17 a channel 21 to a connector 22 for the external Connection of the switch 11. In the connector 22 is a Pocket 23 provided in which the channel 21 opens. The channel 21 is angled to, as seen from the view of the holder 10 in Fig. 2 results.

In der Tasche 23 steckt ein Steckteil 24 aus Metall, an dem einstückig eine erste Schneidklemme 26 ausgebildet ist. Die Schneidklemme 26 umfaßt zwei Zungen 27 und 28 sowie eine von diesen begrenzte Einstecköffnung 29, in die für externe Verbindung Litzen eingeschoben und festgeklemmt werden. In the pocket 23 there is a plug-in part 24 made of metal, on which a first insulation displacement clamp 26 is formed in one piece. The IDC 26 includes two tongues 27 and 28 and one of this limited insertion opening 29, in the for external connection Wires are inserted and clamped.

Einstückig mit dem Steckteil 24 ist ferner eine zweite Schneidklemme 32 ausgebildet, die ebenfalls zwei Zungen 33 und 34 sowie eine davon begrenzte Einstecköffnung 35 aufweist.In one piece with the plug-in part 24 is also a second insulation displacement terminal 32 formed, which also two tongues 33 and 34 as well has an insertion opening 35 delimited therefrom.

Die zweite Schneidklemme 32 dient zum internen Anschluß an die Litze 14, die in Fig. 1 der Übersichtlichkeit wegen lediglich abschnittsweise gezeigt ist.The second insulation piercing 32 is used for internal connection to the Strand 14, the only in Fig. 1 for clarity is shown in sections.

Bei 37 ist noch ein zweites Anschlußteil gezeigt, das identisch zu dem ersten Anschlußteil 22 ausgebildet sein kann, aber auch eine Lötöse oder eine Schraubklemme umfassen kann, mit der jeweils die Litze 15 verbunden ist.At 37 a second connection part is shown, which is identical can be formed for the first connection part 22, but also may include a solder lug or a screw terminal with which each strand 15 is connected.

In Fig. 2 ist der neue Halter 1 in der Ansicht des Pfeiles II aus Fig. 1 gezeigt. Es ist zunächst zu erkennen, daß der Schalter 11 vollständig in der Öffnung 17 verschwindet, wobei auch die Litzen 14 und 15 innerhalb der Umrisse des Halters 10 liegen.In Fig. 2 the new holder 1 is in the view of arrow II shown in Fig. 1. It can first be seen that the switch 11 completely disappears in the opening 17, with the Strands 14 and 15 lie within the outline of the holder 10.

Das Anschlußteil 22 weist an seiner Unterseite noch zwei parallel zueinander und zu dem Steckteil 24 verlaufende Haltestege 39 auf, die symmetrisch zu der Einstecköffnung 29 verlaufen.The connector 22 has two parallel on its underside to each other and to the plug-in part 24 holding webs 39 on, which run symmetrically to the insertion opening 29.

Die Bestückung des Halters 10 mit einem temperaturabhängigen Schalter 11 erfolgt derart, daß die Litzen 14, 15 zunächst seitlich so abgewinkelt werden, daß sie in den Kanal 21 bzw. einen entsprechenden Kanal 41 auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite hineinpassen. Dann wird der Schalter 11 von oben in die Öffnung 17 hineingedrückt, wodurch er dort mechanisch gehalten wird. Dabei gelangen die Litzen 14, 15 in die Kanäle 21, 41 sowie bei entsprechender Abwinkelung in die Tasche 23. Daraufhin wird das Steckteil 24 in die Tasche 23 eingeschoben, wodurch gleichzeitig die Litze 14 kontaktiert wird. Equipping the holder 10 with a temperature-dependent Switch 11 is such that the strands 14, 15 initially be angled laterally so that they enter channel 21 or a corresponding channel 41 on the opposite side fit in. Then the switch 11 is inserted into the opening from above 17 pushed in, whereby it is held there mechanically. The strands 14, 15 get into the channels 21, 41 and with an appropriate angle in the pocket 23. Then the plug part 24 inserted into the pocket 23, whereby at the same time the strand 14 is contacted.

Die Kontaktierung der Litze 15 erfolgt in Abhängigkeit von der dort gewählten Anschlußtechnik, wobei die Litze 15 auch selbst als weiterer Außenanschluß dienen kann.The wire 15 is contacted depending on the there selected connection technology, the strand 15 itself can serve as a further external connection.

Diese Schritte zur Konfektionierung des Halters 10 mit einem Schalter 11 sind automatisiert durchzuführen.These steps for assembling the holder 10 with a Switches 11 are to be carried out automatically.

Bei dem Hersteller eines durch den temperaturabhängigen Schalter 11 zu schützenden elektrischen Gerätes wird dann der Halter 10 zum Beispiel in eine an dem Geräte vorgesehene Tasche eingeschoben und dort klemmend gehalten. Als nächstes erfolgt dann eine elektrische Verbindung des Gerätes mit dem Schalter 11 über die Schneidklemme 26.
