Definitions
- the invention relates to a connector for cage-clamp connection technology, that in one piece as a stamped and bent part is made and the first leg for receiving a Tension spring and a second leg for contacting having.
- Such a connector is known from DE-C-19510173.
- a generic connector according to FIG 4 is at Terminal blocks used.
- the tension spring is on first limb angled support tab supported and thus protected against incorrect operation, that the operating tool is inserted into the wire insertion opening and the tension spring is bent.
- the angled to the side Support tabs are supported in the housing from.
- the connector designed in this way is due to the high material costs in the production relatively expensive.
- the invention has for its object a connector to improve the type mentioned above so that it with little Loss of material can be manufactured.
- the object is achieved in that from the the first leg a locking tab and the first leg is angled in the opposite direction.
- FIG. 1 shows a section of a contactor housing, that from an upper part 1, a lower part 2 and a cap 14 is composed.
- the connector 3 is for cage-clamp connection technology assembled.
- the connector 3 carries two cage tension spring 4, to operate when connecting one Conductor in the cap 14, an opening 5 for passage a tool, e.g. a screwdriver is provided.
- the cap 14 is provided with a line feed opening 6 Mistake.
- the connector shown in a side view in FIG 2 3 is made in one piece as a stamped and bent part and consists from a first leg 7, 2 horn-shaped at its end Recordings 8 has, as well as an almost right angle angled second leg 9, which is used for contacting serves.
- One between the horn-shaped recordings 8 (see FIG. 3) flipped tab 10 is opposite bent towards the direction of the second leg 9.
- This Rag 10 which serves to support the cage tension springs 4, can be manufactured without waste.
- From the first leg 7 is also a locking tab 11 without waste from the Part of the middle sheared and directed against the first leg 7 angled.
- the second leg 9 is in his Thickness increased by slight deformation 13, whereby there is a play-free seat of the connector 3 in the upper part 1 of the contactor housing can be reached.
- connection piece 3 is installed in the contactor housing, by first connecting piece 3 with its second leg 9 is inserted into a groove 12 of the upper part 1 and then the lower part 2 is mounted from below, whereby a locking takes place via the locking tab 11.
- the deformation 13 ensures the play-free fit of the connector 3 in the groove 12.
- the horn-shaped receptacles 8 are supported on the cap 14 of the contactor housing, so that when the cage tension spring is actuated 4 plastic deformation due to the bending moment prevented on the first leg 7 of the connector 3 becomes.
- the connector 3 described may be due to the small Material consumption can be manufactured inexpensively. Usually such connectors are made from a punched tape. The cost savings due to lower material consumption are particularly high when the fittings are welded with roller seams Contact pieces are where the stamped tape is continuously welded with a silver band. Here is namely the stamping waste is coated with silver.
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Anschlußstück für Cage-clamp-Anschlußtechnik, das einstückig als Stanzbiegeteil gefertigt ist und das einen ersten Schenkel zur Aufnahme einer Zugfeder und einen zweiten Schenkel zur Kontaktierung aufweist.The invention relates to a connector for cage-clamp connection technology, that in one piece as a stamped and bent part is made and the first leg for receiving a Tension spring and a second leg for contacting having.
Ein derartiger Anschlußstück ist aus DE-C-19510173 bekannt.Such a connector is known from DE-C-19510173.
Ein gattungsgemäßes Anschlußstück gemäß FIG 4 wird bei Reihenklemmen verwendet. Hierbei wird die Zugfeder durch am ersten Schenkel seitlich abgewinkelte Abstützungslappen abgestützt und somit gegen Fehlbedienungen derart geschützt, daß das Betätigungswerkzeug in die Drahteinführöffnung gesteckt und so die Zugfeder verbogen wird. Die seitlich abgewinkelten Abstützungslappen stützen sich wiederum im Gehäuse ab. Das derartig ausgeführte Anschlußstück ist aufgrund des hohen Materialaufwands in der Herstellung relativ teuer.A generic connector according to FIG 4 is at Terminal blocks used. Here, the tension spring is on first limb angled support tab supported and thus protected against incorrect operation, that the operating tool is inserted into the wire insertion opening and the tension spring is bent. The angled to the side Support tabs are supported in the housing from. The connector designed in this way is due to the high material costs in the production relatively expensive.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Anschlußstück der obengenannten Art derart zu verbessern, daß es mit geringem Materialverlust fertigbar ist.The invention has for its object a connector to improve the type mentioned above so that it with little Loss of material can be manufactured.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß aus dem ersten Schenkel ein Verriegelungslappen ausgeschert und den ersten Schenkel entgegengerichtet abgewinkelt ist.The object is achieved in that from the the first leg a locking tab and the first leg is angled in the opposite direction.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen
2 bis 4 zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the invention are the
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:
- FIG 1
- ein in einem Schützgehäuse montiertes Anschlußstück,
- FIG 2
- das Anschlußstück gemäß FIG 1 in einer Vorder- und Seitenansicht und
- FIG 3
- eine perspektivische Ansicht des Anschlußstücks gemäß FIG 1.
- FIG. 1
- a connector mounted in a contactor housing,
- FIG 2
- the connector of Figure 1 in a front and side view
- FIG 3
- a perspective view of the connector according to FIG. 1
In FIG 1 ist ein Ausschnitt eines Schützgehäuses dargestellt,
das aus einem Oberteil 1, einem Unterteil 2 und einer Kappe
14 zusammengesetzt ist. In dem ist Anschlußstück 3 für Cage-clamp-Anschlußtechnik
montiert. Das Anschlußstück 3 trägt
zwei Käfig-Zugfeder 4, zu deren Betätigung beim Anschluß eines
Leiters in der Kappe 14 eine Öffnung 5 zur Durchführung
eines Werkzeugs, z.B. eines Schraubendrehers, vorgesehen ist.
Außerdem ist die Kappe 14 mit einer Leitungszuführöffnung 6
versehen.1 shows a section of a contactor housing,
that from an
Das in einer Seitenansicht in FIG 2 dargestellte Anschlußstück
3 ist einstückig als Stanzbiegeteil gefertigt und besteht
aus einem ersten Schenkel 7, der an seinem Ende 2 hörnerförmige
Aufnahmen 8 aufweist, sowie einem dazu nahezu im
rechten Winkel abgewinkelten zweiten Schenkel 9, der zur Kontaktierung
dient. An dem ersten Schenkel 7 sind zwei Käfigzugfedern
4 anklemmbar. Ein zwischen den hörnerförmigen Aufnahmen
8 (siehe FIG 3) ausgescherter Lappen 10 ist entgegengesetzt
zur Richtung des zweiten Schenkels 9 abgebogen. Dieser
Lappen 10, der zur Abstützung der Käfigzugfedern 4 dient,
kann abfallos hergestellt werden. Aus dem ersten Schenkel 7
ist außerdem ein Verriegelungslappen 11 abfallos aus der
Teilmitte ausgeschert und dem ersten Schenkel 7 entgegengerichtet
abgewinkelt. Der zweite Schenkel 9 ist in seiner
Dicke durch geringfügige Verformung 13 vergrößert, wodurch
sich ein spielfreier Sitz des Anschlußstücks 3 im Oberteil 1
des Schützgehäuses erreichen läßt. The connector shown in a side view in FIG 2
3 is made in one piece as a stamped and bent part and consists
from a
Die Montage des Anschlußstücks 3 im Schützgehäuse erfolgt,
indem zunächst das Anschlußstück 3 mit seinem zweiten Schenkel
9 in eine Nut 12 des Oberteils 1 eingeschoben wird und
anschließend das Unterteil 2 von unten montiert wird, wobei
eine Verriegelung über den Verriegelungslappen 11 erfolgt.
Die Verformung 13 gewährleistet hierbei den spielfreien Sitz
des Anschlußstücks 3 in der Nut 12. Es ergibt sich eine punktuelle
Preßpassung, wobei der Kunststoff des Gehäuses nachgibt.
Die hörnerförmigen Aufnahmen 8 stützen sich an der Kappe
14 des Schützgehäuses ab, so daß bei Betätigung der Käfig-zugfeder
4 eine plastische Verformung aufgrund des Biegemoments
auf den ersten Schenkel 7 des Anschlußstücks 3 verhindert
wird.The
Das beschriebene Anschlußstück 3 kann aufgrund des geringen
Materialverbrauchs kostengünstig gefertigt werden. Üblicherweise
werden derartige Anschlußstücke aus einem Stanzband gefertigt.
Die Kosteneinsparungen aufgrund geringeren Materialverbrauchs
sind besonders hoch, wenn die Anschlußstücke rollnahtgeschweißte
Schaltstücke sind, bei denen das Stanzband
durchgängig mit einem Silberband beschweißt ist. Hierbei ist
nämlich auch der Stanzabfall mit Silber beschichtet.The
