Abstract

The arrangement has rows of base parts on a carrier rail with connections for a signal line and distribution elements combined with distribution strips for cross-distribution of electrical potentials. Distribution contact parts form two-pole cross-connecting connector parts with first and second cross-connection poles (6a,6d) outside a housing (4). The connecting poles of adjacent distribution contact parts can be connected together. Both cross-connecting poles have contact lugs and protrude out of the housing base towards a base part. The poles in a common distribution strip for adjacent contact parts lie flat against each other and can be connected together by a clamp part (8).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Initiatoren-Aktoren-Klemme, bestehend aus auf einer Tragschiene gehaltenen, aneinandergereihten Basisteilen mit Anschlüssen für eine Signalleitung sowie auf die Basisteile aufgerasteten, aus einem Gehäuse und einem Verteilerkontaktteil gebildeten Verteilerelementen, die zu Verteilerleisten zur Querverteilung von elektrischen Potentialen verknüpft sind.The invention relates to an initiator-actuators terminal consisting of supported on a support rail lined-up base parts with connections for a signal line as well as on the base parts aufgerasteten, formed from a housing and a distributor contact part distribution elements, which are linked to distribution strips for the transverse distribution of electrical potentials.

Bei den beispielsweise aus der DE 44 38 806 C1 bekannten Reihenklemmen mit integrierter Querverteilung elektrischer Potentiale erfolgt die elektrische Querverbindung durch ein innerhalb eines Gehäuses des Verteilerelements angeordnetes Stromschienenstück oder Verteilerkontaktteil, das auf einer Seite einen zwischen Federkontaktschenkeln gebildeten Buchsenkontakt und auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Steckerlasche aufweist. Durch Zusammenschieben der Verteilerelemente werden die Verteilerkontaktteile über die Buchsenkontaktteile und Steckerlaschen unmittelbar elektrisch verbunden.In the example of DE 44 38 806 C1 known terminal blocks with integrated transverse distribution of electrical potentials, the electrical cross-connection is made by a disposed within a housing of the distribution element conductor rail or distributor contact part having a socket contact formed between spring contact legs on one side and a connector tab on the opposite side , By pushing together the distributor elements become the distributor contact parts directly electrically connected via the socket contact parts and connector tabs.

Bei einer derart ausgebildeten Klemme erfolgt zwar über die in Längsrichtung der Verteilerleiste ausgerichteten Buchsen- und Steckerkontakte eine unmittelbare Verbindung zwischen benachbarten Verteilerkontaktteilen über nur eine Anschlußstelle, jedoch ist aufgrund der in Längsrichtung ineinandergesteckten Kontakte in zusammengebautem Zustand der Klemme eine einfache Auswechselung einzelner Verteilerelemente nicht möglich. Das heißt, die Demontage und anschließende Montage von Einzelscheiben mit Verteilerkontaktteilen ist mit einem erheblichen Aufwand verbunden.In such a trained terminal while via the aligned in the longitudinal direction of the distributor strip socket and plug contacts a direct connection between adjacent distributor contact parts via only one connection point, but due to the longitudinally nested contacts in the assembled state of the terminal a simple replacement of individual distribution elements is not possible. That is, the disassembly and subsequent assembly of individual disks with distributor contact parts is associated with considerable effort.

Die DE 196 30 860 C1 beschreibt andererseits bereits eine Reihenklemme, bei der jedem Verteilerelement ein im Basisteil gehaltenes U-förmiges Verbindungskontaktteil mit in dessen Schenkeln vorgesehenen Klemmschlitzen zugeordnet ist, wobei die senkrecht in Richtung des Basisteils aus dem Gehäuse ragenden (einzigen) Querverbindungspole von in der Verteilerleiste benachbarten Verteilerkontaktteilen über die beiden Klemmschlitze einer U-förmigen Verbindungskontaktschiene miteinander verbunden sind. In diesem Fall können zwar Einzelscheiben auf einfache Weise demontiert und wieder montiert werden, jedoch ist aufgrund der jeweils zwei Kontaktstellen zwischen benachbarten Verteilerkontaktteilen und der Tatsache, daß der Strom zwischen den beiden Verteilerkontaktteilen noch über die U-förmige Verbindungskontaktschiene fließen muß, von erheblichen Verlusten auszugehen.On the other hand, DE 196 30 860 C1 already describes a terminal block in which each distribution element is assigned a U-shaped connection contact part provided in the base part with clamping slots provided in the legs thereof, the (single) cross connection poles projecting from the housing in the direction of the base part of FIG the distributor strip adjacent distributor contact parts are connected to each other via the two clamping slots of a U-shaped connecting contact rail. In this case, although individual disks can be easily disassembled and reassembled, however, due to the respective two contact points between adjacent distributor contact parts and the fact that the current between the two distributor contact parts must still flow through the U-shaped connecting contact rail, considerable losses can be assumed ,

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Initiatoren-Aktoren-Klemme der eingangs erwähnten Art so auszubilden, daß die Verluste bei der Stromübertragung zwischen den Verteilerkontaktteilen einer Verteilerleiste gering sind und dennoch die Möglichkeit der einfachen Demontage und Montage einzelner Verteilerelemente besteht.The invention is therefore the object of an initiator actuators terminal of the type mentioned in such a way that the losses in the power transmission between the distributor contact parts of a distribution bar are low and yet there is the possibility of easy disassembly and assembly of individual distribution elements.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe bei einer Initiatoren-Aktoren-Klemme gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 in der Weise gelöst, daß die Verteilerkontaktteile ein Querverbindungs-Anschlußteil mit jeweils einem im Gehäuse verlaufenden ersten und einem seitlich außerhalb des Gehäuse angeordneten zweiten Querverbindungs-Anschlußteil, die beide über die Unterseite des Gehäuses hinaus zum Basisteil hin gerichtet sind, aufweisen, und zur Bildung nur einer Kontaktstelle der erste und der zweite Querverbindungs-Anschlußteil von in der Verteilerleiste jeweils benachbarten Verteilerkontaktteilen unmittelbar aneinanderliegen und miteinander verklemmbar sind.According to the invention the object is achieved with an initiator actuators terminal according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that the distributor contact parts a cross-connection terminal part each having a housing extending in the first and a laterally arranged outside the housing second cross-connection terminal part, both have directed beyond the bottom of the housing out to the base part, have, and to form only a contact point of the first and the second cross-connection terminal part of adjacent in the distribution bar distributor contact parts directly abut each other and are clamped together.

Gemäß der Erfindung werden somit die Verteilerkontaktteile durch jeweils an der Unterseite des diese aufnehmenden Gehäuses herausragende Querverbindungs-Anschlußteile gegenseitig direkt miteinander verbunden. Das heißt, zwischen benachbarten Verteilerkontaktteilen existiert nur eine Kontaktstelle, und entsprechend gering sind die Verluste bei der Stromübertragung. Andererseits können die auf dem Basisteil verrasteten Verteilerelemente auch einzeln demontiert und wieder in der Verteilerleiste montiert werden, sofern die Gehäuse der Verteilerelemente in senkrechter Richtung lösbar aneinandergekoppelt sind.According to the invention, the distributor contact parts are thus mutually connected directly to each other by respectively on the underside of this receiving housing outstanding cross-connection terminals. That is, between adjacent distributor contact parts exists only one contact point, and correspondingly low losses in the power transmission. On the other hand, the latched on the base part distribution elements can also be disassembled individually and mounted again in the distribution strip, provided that the housing of the distributor elements are detachably coupled together in the vertical direction.

In weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung bilden der erste und der zweite Querverbindungsanschlußteil ein etwa U-förmiges Querverbindungs-Anschlußteil, dessen zweiter Querverbindungsanschlußteil sich seitlich neben dem das betreffende Verteilerkontaktteil aufnehmenden Gehäuse befindet, wobei der zweite Querverbindungsanschlußteil über einen abgekröpften Verbindungssteg mit dem ersten Querverbindungsanschlußteil verbunden und somit parallel, aber versetzt zu diesem positioniert ist. Außerdem sind die Querverbindungsanschlußteile als Blechstreifen ausgebildet. In der zusammengesteckten Verteilerleiste liegen somit die ersten und zweiten Querverbindungsanschlußteile benachbarter Verteilerkontaktteile flächig aneinander und können unterhalb der Verteilerleiste mit einem Klemmstück auf einfache Weise und schnell miteinander verklemmt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, the first and second cross-connection terminal part form an approximately U-shaped cross-connection terminal part, the second cross-connection terminal part is laterally adjacent to the respective distributor contact part receiving housing, wherein the second cross-connection terminal part connected via a bent connecting web with the first cross-connecting terminal part and thus parallel but offset to this position. In addition, the cross-connection terminal parts are designed as sheet metal strips. Thus, in the mated distributor strip, the first and second transverse connection connection parts of adjacent distributor contact parts lie flat against each other and can be easily clamped together below the distribution strip with a clamping piece in a simple manner.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Klemmstück ein flächiges, U-förmiges Blechstanzteil mit an den Innenseiten seiner Schenkel angeformten Rastnasen, die - nach dem Aufschieben des Klemmstückes auf die aneinanderliegenden Querverbindungsanschlußteile benachbarter Verteilerkontaktteile und deren dadurch bedingtes Aneinanderpressen - in Rastnuten, die sich in den Seitenflächen der Querverbindungsanschlußteile befinden, eingreifen und dadurch lösbar gehalten sind.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the clamping piece is a flat, U-shaped sheet metal stamping integrally formed on the inner sides of his legs locking lugs, which - after pushing the clamping piece on the adjacent cross-connecting terminal parts adjacent distributor contact parts and their contiguous juxtaposition - in locking grooves extending into the Side surfaces of the cross connection connecting parts are located, engage and thereby releasably held.

Die Initiatoren-Aktoren-Klemme gemäß Fig. 1 besteht aus einer Mehrzahl auf einer Tragschiene 1 aneinandergereihter Basisteile 2. Auf jedem Basisteil sind zwei Verteilerelemente 3 verrastet. Ein Verteilerelement 3 umfaßt ein Gehäuse 4 aus Kunststoff und ein Verteilerkontaktteil 6. In Längsrichtung der Verteilerleiste nebeneinanderliegende Verteilerelemente 3 sind über Steckelemente 5 auf der einen Seite des Gehäuses 4 und Vertiefungen auf der gegenüberliegenden Gehäuseseite lösbar und gegebenenfalls in senkrechter Richtung zueinander verschiebbar verbunden. Das in dem Gehäuse 4 angeordnete Verteilerkontaktteil 6 besteht aus einem Blechstreifen aus elektrisch leitendem Material, an dessen im Gehäuse 4 befindlichem Leiteranschlußteil 6a eine Klemmfeder 7 gehalten ist. Durch Zusammendrücken der Klemmfeder 7 wird eine Kontaktöffnung (nicht dargestellt) zum Durchstecken eines elektrischen Leiters (nicht dargestellt) freigegeben, um diesen beim Zurückfedern der Klemmfeder 7 fest mit dem Leiteranschlußteil 6a zu verbinden. Zum Betätigen der Klemmfeder 7 bzw. zum Einstecken des Leiters in die Kontaktöffnung befinden sich im Gehäuse 4 an der oberen freien Stirnseite Öffnungen 4a, 4b. Durch eine weitere Öffnung 4c an der gegenüberliegenden, zum Basisteil 2 weisenden Gehäuseseite ragt ein erster Querverbindungspol 6b des Verteilerkontaktteils 6 nach außen. An dem ersten Querverbindungspol 6b ist über einen elektrisch leitenden Verbindungssteg 6c ein zweiter Querverbindungspol 6d angeschlossen, der seitlich vom Gehäuse 4 verläuft. Die Querverbindungspole 6b, 6d sind parallel, aber durch eine Abkröpfung des Verbindungsstegs 6c um die Materialstärke des Kontaktstreifens zueinander versetzt angeordnet. Das Verteilerkontaktteil 6 bildet somit an der Anschlußseite für die Querverbindung ein zweipoliges (U-förmiges) Querverbindungs-Anschlußteil 6b, 6c, 6d), wobei in der zusammengesteckten Verteilerleiste jeweils der erste Querverbindungspol 6b1 des einen Verteilerkontaktteils 6.1 und der versetzt angeordnete zweite Querverbindungspol 6d2 eines benachbarten Verteilerkontaktteils 6.2 aneinanderliegen. Die Herstellung der Querverbindung zwischen den Verteilerkontaktteilen einer Verteilerleiste erfolgt durch Verklemmen der ersten und zweiten Querverbindungspole 6b1 und 6d2 benachbarter Verteilerkontaktteile 6.1 und 6.2 mit einem U-förmig gestalteten Klemmstück 8. Zum Aufschieben des Klemmstücks 8 und zu dessen Verrastung an den beiden Querverbindungspolen 6b1 und 6d2 sind deren freie Enden konisch verjüngt ausgebildet und mit einer Rastnut 6e versehen, in die jeweils an den Innenseiten der Schenkel des U-förmigen Klemmstücks 8 angeformte Rastnasen 8a eingreifen. Mit dem Aufschieben des Klemmstücks wird der Kontakt zwischen zwei benachbarten Verteilerkontakteilen 6 hergestellt, wobei der Stromfluß unmittelbar über die jetzt aneinandergepreßten ersten und zweiten Querverbindungspole 6b1, 6d2 und nicht über das Klemmstück 8 erfolgt. Die Verluste an den Querverbindungskontakten sind dementsprechend gering.The initiator-actuators clamp according to FIG. 1 consists of a plurality of base parts 2 lined up on a mounting rail 1. On each base part two distributor elements 3 are latched. A distribution element 3 comprises a housing 4 made of plastic and a distributor contact part 6. In the longitudinal direction of the distribution strip adjacent distribution elements 3 are detachable via plug-in elements 5 on one side of the housing 4 and depressions on the opposite side of the housing and optionally slidably connected to each other in the vertical direction. The arranged in the housing 4 distributor contact part 6 consists of a sheet metal strip of electrically conductive material, at its befindlichem in the housing 4 conductor connection part 6a, a clamping spring 7 is held. By compressing the clamping spring 7, a contact opening (not shown) for the passage of an electrical conductor (not shown) is released to connect these firmly when springing back the clamping spring 7 with the conductor connection part 6a. For actuating the clamping spring 7 or for inserting the conductor into the contact opening are in the housing 4 at the upper free end side openings 4a, 4b. A first cross connection pole 6b of the distributor contact part 6 projects outwards through a further opening 4c on the opposite side of the housing facing the base part 2. At the first cross-connection pole 6b, a second cross-connection pole 6d, which extends laterally from the housing 4, is connected via an electrically conductive connecting web 6c. The cross connection poles 6b, 6d are arranged in parallel but offset from each other by an offset of the connecting web 6c by the material thickness of the contact strip. The distributor contact part 6 thus forms on the connection side for the cross connection a two-pole (U-shaped) cross-connection terminal part 6b, 6c, 6d), wherein in the mated distribution strip respectively the first cross-connection pole 6b1 of the one distributor contact part 6.1 and the offset second cross-connection pole 6d2 of a adjacent distributor contact part 6.2 abut each other. The production of the cross-connection between the distributor contact parts of a distribution strip takes place by clamping the first and second cross connection poles 6b1 and 6d2 adjacent distributor contact parts 6.1 and 6.2 with a U-shaped clamping piece 8. For pushing the clamping piece 8 and to the latching on the two cross-connecting poles 6b1 and 6d2 whose free ends are tapered conical and provided with a locking groove 6e, in the respective engage on the inner sides of the legs of the U-shaped clamping piece 8 molded locking lugs 8a. With the sliding of the clamping piece of the contact between two adjacent Verteilakontakteilen 6 is made, the current flow takes place directly over the now juxtaposed first and second cross-connecting poles 6b1, 6d2 and not on the clamping piece 8. The losses at the cross-connection contacts are correspondingly low.
