Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of a relay with a Control module, the relay being an approximately cuboid Housing with a main connection side, from which load connection elements emerge, and with a different one Has auxiliary connection side with control connections and where the control module is a module housing with one to the Auxiliary connection side of the relay housing attachable coupling side and in the area of the coupling side to the control connections) has complementary plug connections, which an electrical Establish connection of the control module to the relay.
  • electromagnetic relays are often electrical or electronic circuits used separately from the relay, such as on a PCB, are arranged.
  • the relay There is often a desire to combine the relay with its control circuit, whereby it is also known to have an electronic circuit in the relay housing to accommodate yourself.
  • Such a relay with built-in electronic circuit is more complex and more expensive and because of the special wiring only for certain Purposes applicable; the required ones are also corresponding Numbers relatively small, while for the electromechanical Relay structure of much larger quantities achievable with a correspondingly cheaper production would be.
  • a breaker switch is known from FR-A1-26 96 040, the construction of which corresponds to the relay structure mentioned at the beginning.
  • the load connection elements are only there by attaching additional modules to a main connection side guided, causing the multi-part housing openings has on all sides as with a relay higher requirements for insulation and protection against accidental contact be considered.
  • a control module in the form of a thermal protection relay is also shown there more schematically, without that an adaptation of the housing shapes would be apparent.
  • the aim of the present invention is an arrangement of a Relay with a control module of the type mentioned create where the block is coupled to the relay if necessary can be and in this case not with the relay just a mechanical, but also an electrical unit forms while the relay is normal even without the control module could be operated.
  • Block housing is also cuboid, with the auxiliary connection side of the relay housing and the coupling side of the module housing have the same areas and so together are adapted that the two superimposed housings form an almost cuboid combination housing.
  • the control module has on its housing a coupling side with plug elements, with which he on a corresponding relay housing can be plugged in, which an auxiliary connection side with corresponding control plug connections having. Since the relay itself is always a Has main connection side, through which also coil connections the control module could be connected alone with the plug connections on its coupling side towards the relay operate. But preferably also Control module next to its coupling side another Block connection side with external connections. In this case is a particularly good electrical isolation of all control and test connections from the load connections of the relay possible.
  • the pluggable control module according to the invention enables the use of a universal relay both with as well as without this control module. It is conceivable that the relay with completely the same structure of all functional elements contains only additional connection elements in a cap. In this case, for example, by exchanging the Cap either a normal relay without additional control or created a relay that can be combined with the control module become.
  • the two are Housing not only electrically, but also mechanically connected. To strengthen this mechanical connection, can also interlocking locking elements be provided in both housings. In addition, the housing gap between the relay housing on the one hand and the block housing on the other hand, be additionally sealed.
  • the control module 10 has a substantially cuboid housing 11, the additionally on its underside or module connection side 12 has an integrally formed plug collar 13.
  • This stekker collar 13 encloses invisible connection elements, for example flat plug or round plug.
  • a coupling side 14 in which not visible plug openings with plug sockets are provided, which are used for mechanical and electrical connection with the provided to be described tabs of the relay 20 are.
  • 14 are laterally from the coupling side Snap hook 15 formed. Is on the opposite side for example, a mounting tab 16 is formed.
  • the relay housing 21 is also basically cuboid. It has on its underside or main connection side 22 two chambers 23, in which load connection elements 24 for high currents, for example 150 A, which are led out of the interior of the relay are arranged.
  • the supply lines can be connected via screw terminals, for example. In order to achieve a complete separation of the load connections from the control connections, the latter are not led to the outside on the main connection side but on an auxiliary connection side 25 of the housing 21 which is at right angles thereto.
  • Latching recesses 28 are formed laterally from the auxiliary connection side 25 in accordance with the latching hooks 15 of the control module. Furthermore, a circumferential sealing collar 29 is arranged on the auxiliary connection side 25, which is injection-molded, for example, from an elastomer material.
  • the internal structure of the relay 20 is irrelevant here. It can be a common electromagnetic system act, with appropriate constructive design the load terminals 24 and 27 and the coil terminals 26 in be brought out in the manner shown.
  • the connections 26 and 27 are expediently in the cap itself attached, their in a preferred embodiment Coupling to the coil connections on the one hand and to the Load connections on the other hand of the relay by plugging the Cap can be made.
  • control module 10 can also be arbitrary his.
  • this module contains an electronic control circuit for controlling the electromagnetic system according to certain conditions, for example as a time control, as a battery disconnect circuit certain requirements, as load current monitoring or for the purpose a reduction in the coil power in hold mode. Also a diagnostic option can be included in the control module his.
