Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Aufbau eines elektromagnetischen Schaltgerätes bezüglich der äußeren Anschlüsse, insbesondere der Spulenanschlüsse universeller zu gestalten, so daß diese äußeren Anschlüsse auch bei Geräten unterschiedlicher Größe in gleicher Weise vorhanden sind und zudem eine größere Variabilität dahingehend ermöglicht wird, daß die äußeren Anschlüsse bei gleichem Aufbau dennoch an unterschiedlichen Stellen des elektromagnetischen Schaltgerätes möglich sind. Auf diese Weise soll eine bessere Anpassung an unterschiedliche Gegebenheiten vor Ort neben unterschiedlichen Größen des elektromagnetischen Schaltgerätes ermöglicht sein.The invention is based on the object, the structure of an electromagnetic Switching device with respect to the outer terminals, in particular the Make coil terminals more universal, so that these outer terminals Also available for devices of different sizes in the same way and, moreover, greater variability is that the outer connections with the same structure yet at different Positions of the electromagnetic switching device are possible. To this Way is intended to better adapt to different circumstances Location next to different sizes of the electromagnetic switching device be possible.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem elektromagnetischen Schaltgerät mit einem den Magnetkern und Spule aufnehmenden Gehäuseteil dadurch gelöst, daß untereinander gleiche Anschlußmodule für jeden äußeren Anschluß des Gerätes vorgesehen sind und auf der Oberseite des den Magnetkern aufnehmenden Gehäuseteiles im Bereich der vier Ecken des Gehäuseteiles aufsteckbar sind und ein bezüglich der äußeren Form gleichartig gestaltetes Leermodul vorgesehen ist, der auf die nicht mit einem Anschlußmodul besetzte Ecke des Gehäuseteiles aufsteckbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß werden die äußeren Anschlüsse des elektromagnetischen Schaltgerätes von dem Spulenkörper weg in Anschlußmodule verlegt. Es ist dann lediglich nur noch eine Steckverbindung über ein Kabel zwischen den Spulenkörpern und dem Anschlußmodul erforderlich. Die Anschlußmodule sind sämtlich untereinander gleich, so daß entsprechend der gewünschten Anzahl von Anschlußmodulen diese auf dem Gehäuseteil aufgebracht werden können, üblicherweise drei Anschlußmodule. Soweit ein vierter vorhandener Anschlußplatz des Gerätes bzw. des den Magnetkern aufnehmenden Gehäuseteiles nicht mit einem Anschlußmodul besetzt zu werden braucht, ist jedoch aus optischen und aus Gründen der Geschlossenheit ein Leermodul vorgesehen, der in der äußeren Form dem Anschlußmodul gleicht und der dann den freien Platz einnimmt. Das Leermodul ermöglicht des weiteren, auch zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt den Austausch gegen ein Anschlußmodul, wenn beispielsweise ein weiterer äußerer Anschluß wie beispielsweise ein Busanschluß realisiert werden soll.According to the invention, this object is achieved with an electromagnetic switching device with a magnetic core and coil receiving housing part thereby solved that mutually identical connection modules for each outer Connection of the device are provided and on the top of the Magnet core receiving housing part in the region of the four corners of the housing part are attachable and a similar in terms of the external shape designed empty module is provided on the not with a connection module occupied corner of the housing part is attachable. According to the invention be the outer terminals of the electromagnetic switching device of moved away from the bobbin in connection modules. It is only then still a plug connection via a cable between the coil bobbins and required the connection module. The connection modules are all among each other equal, so that according to the desired number of connection modules these can be applied to the housing part, usually three connection modules. As far as a fourth available connection place of the Device or the magnetic core receiving housing part not with a connection module needs to be occupied, but is made of optical and, for reasons of closure, a dummy module provided in the external shape resembles the connection module and then takes the free space. The dummy module also makes it possible, even at a later date the exchange for a connection module, if for example a another external connection such as a bus connection can be realized should.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Anschlußmodule und Leermodule sind den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen der Unteransprüche entnehmbar.Advantageous developments of the connection modules according to the invention and Blank modules are the characterizing features of the dependent claims.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausbildung weist das erfindungsgemäße Anschlußmodul oder Leermodul eine im wesentlichen quaderförmige Gestalt auf und an seiner unteren Schmalseite einen T-förmigen Einstecksteg zum Einfügen in eine Nut auf der Oberseite des Gehäuseteiles, das den Magnetkern und die Spule aufnimmt. Die auf das Gehäuseteil auf der Oberseite im Bereich der Seitenwandung aufgesteckten Anschlußmodule verlängern sozusagen das Gehäuseteil nach oben und bilden zugleich einen Führungseinsatz für das weitere hierauf aufsetzbare Ankergehäuse des elektromagnetischen Schaltgerätes, das üblicherweise das den Anker aufnehmende Ankergehäuse ist.According to a preferred embodiment, the connection module according to the invention or dummy module on a substantially cuboid shape and on its lower narrow side a T-shaped Einstecksteg to insert in a groove on the top of the housing part, which is the magnetic core and pick up the coil. The on the housing part on the top in the area the side wall plugged connection modules extend so to speak the housing part upwards and at the same time form a guide insert for the further armature housing of the electromagnetic switching device which can be placed thereon, which is usually the armature housing receiving the armature.

Um das Einführen der Module in die Nuten des Gehäuseteiles zu erleichtern, wird vorgeschlagen, daß der T-förmige Einstecksteg von beiden vertikalen Schmalseiten des Anschlußmoduls bzw. Leermoduls beabstandet endet.To facilitate the insertion of the modules into the grooves of the housing part, It is proposed that the T-shaped insertion of both vertical Narrow sides of the connection module or dummy module spaced ends.

Das Anschlußmodul ist auf seiner oberen Schmalseite abgestuft mit zwei Treppen, und zwar nach außen hin abfallend ausgebildet, für die Aufnahme von Anschlußklemmen. An der durch die Abstufung der oberen Schmalseite ausgebildeten längeren vertikalen Seite des Anschlußmoduls wird nun eine Anschlußmöglichkeit für ein Kabel mit Steckverbinder in das Innere des Gehäuseteiles, d.h. beispielsweise zu der Spule, geschaffen. Diese Anschlußseite des Anschlußmoduls ist im Prinzip als Führungskanal ausgebildet und wird durch die Seitenwände des Anschlußmoduls begrenzt. Auch das Leermodul weist eine entsprechende Anschlußseite mit Führungskanal auf. The connection module is stepped on its upper narrow side with two Stairs, namely designed sloping outwards, for the recording from terminals. At the by the gradation of the upper narrow side trained longer vertical side of the connection module is now a Connection possibility for a cable with connector in the interior of the housing part, i.e. for example, to the coil, created. This connection side the connection module is designed in principle as a guide channel and is limited by the side walls of the connection module. Also the empty module has a corresponding connection side with guide channel.

Um das einfache Einsetzen und Befestigen der Anschlußmodule und des Leermoduls an dem Gehäuseteil zu ermöglichen, wird vorgeschlagen, daß das die Anschlußmodule und das Leermodul aufnehmende Gehäuseteil auf der Oberseite zweier zueinander paralleler Seitenwände in die Wandung von oben bzw. die Wandung verbreiternde Stege nutenparallel zu den Seitenwänden verlaufend eingearbeitet sind, in welche die Module einführbar sind. Für ein erleichtertes Einsetzen der Module sind die Nuten einer Seitenwandung jeweils an ihren einander zugewandten Enden offen zum Einführen des T-förmigen Einstecksteges der Module ausgebildet. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, die Module auf das Gehäuseteil aufzustecken und nach dem Aufstecken nach außen gegen die Ecken zu schieben und durch das Ankergehäuse jeweils die an einer Seite eingesteckten Modulbausteine festzusetzen und ein Herausziehen nach dem Zusammenbau der zwei Gehäuse des Gerätes zu verhindern.For easy insertion and fixing of the connection modules and the To enable empty module to the housing part, it is proposed that on the terminal modules and the dummy module receiving housing part the top of two parallel side walls in the wall of above or the wall widening webs parallel to the side walls are incorporated running into which the modules are insertable. For a simplified insertion of the modules are the grooves of a side wall each at their ends facing each other open for insertion of the T-shaped Einstecksteges the modules formed. In this way it is possible put the modules on the housing part and after plugging in to push against the corners on the outside and through the anchor housing in each case the fix module modules inserted on one side and pull them out after assembly, to prevent the two housings of the device.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung von Anschlußmodulen für die äußeren Anschlüsse des elektromagnetischen Gerätes im Bereich der Magnetspule an den äußeren Ecken des Gehäuses ermöglicht eine leichte Zugänglichkeit für die Herstellung des späteren Anschlusses und zugleich eine vielseitige Einsatzmöglichkeit. Auch bei beschränkten Platzverhältnissen bei der Installation vor Ort können die Anschlüsse dadurch, daß die Anschlußmodule an den Ecken des Gerätes sitzen, jederzeit leicht zugänglich hergestellt werden.The inventive construction of connection modules for the external connections of the electromagnetic device in the region of the magnetic coil the outer corners of the housing allows for easy accessibility the production of the later connection and at the same time a versatile application possibility. Even with limited space during installation On site, the connections can be characterized in that the connection modules to the Corners of the device can be made easily accessible at any time.

Bester Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungBest way to carry out the invention

Das den nicht näher dargestellten Magnetkern M und die Spule S aufnehmende Gehäuseteil 1 eines elektromagnetischen Schaltgerätes gemäß Fig. 1 bildet eine von den vier Seitenwänden 11, 12, 13, 14 gebildeten Gehäuseaufnahmeraum 14. In diesen werden der Magnetkern M und die Spule S in Pfeilrichtung eingesetzt. Zur Herstellung der Spulenanschlüsse sowie Elektronikanschlüsse oder eines Busanschlusses, d.h. sogenannter äußerer Anschlüsse, die vor Ort bei der Installation an die Einrichtungen des Kunden hergestellt werden, muß das elektromagnetische Schaltgerät mit entsprechenden Anschlüssen versehen sein, die erfindungsgemäß mittels der Anschlußmodule 2 hergestellt werden, die, wie in der Fig. 2 ersichtlich, auf die zueinander parallelen Seitenwandungen 10, 11 in deren Eckbereichen aufgesteckt werden.The non-illustrated magnetic core M and the coil S receiving Housing part 1 of an electromagnetic switching device according to FIG. 1 forms a housing receiving space formed by the four side walls 11, 12, 13, 14 14. In these, the magnetic core M and the coil S in the arrow direction used. For the production of coil connections as well as electronic connections or a bus connection, i. so-called external connections, which are manufactured on site during installation to the customer's facilities must, the electromagnetic switching device with appropriate Be provided connections, according to the invention by means of the connection modules 2 are produced, which, as shown in FIG. 2, to each other parallel side walls 10, 11 attached in their corners become.

Die Anschlußmodule 2, siehe Fig. 3a,b, weisen einen im wesentlichen quaderförmigen Körper auf, der an seiner unteren Schmalseite 20a einen T-förmigen Einstecksteg 20 angeformt aufweist. Der T-förmige Einstecksteg 20 endet jedoch kurz vor den beiden vertikalen Schmalseiten 20b, 20c des Anschlußmoduls 2, ist also kürzer als die Länge der unteren Seiten 20a. Die gegenüberliegende obere Schmalseite des Anschlußmoduls 2 ist abgetreppt mit zwei Treppenstufen 29 ausgebildet, wobei hier zwischen den Seitenwänden des quaderförmigen Anschlußmoduls 2 Anschlußklemmen 6 und 7 mit Einführhilfen 6a, 7a eingesetzt sind und jeweils die Einführschlitze 21, 22 für Kabel bilden. Seitlich sind im Bereich der Einführhilfen Schlitze 23, 24, 25, 26 auf beiden Seiten des Anschlußmoduls 2 zum Verrasten der Einführhilfen vorgesehen. Damit bildet die kürzere vertikale Schmalseite 20b des Anschlußmoduls 2 die Montageseite für die äußeren Anschlüsse. Die längere vertikale Schmalseite 20c hingegen weist eine Anschlußkammer 28 für den Anschluß ins Geräteinnere auf. Hierbei ist ein U-förmiger nach außen offener Kanal zwischen den Seitenwänden des Anschlußmoduls gebildet, der die Anschlußkammer 28 aufnimmt. In diesen Kanal können Kabel mit Steckverbindern problemlos in das Innere des Gerätes, d.h. hier des Gehäuseteiles zum Spulenkörper für den Spulenanschluß beispielsweise geführt werden. Des weiteren ist das Anschlußmodul im Inneren zur Aufnahme von Einrichtungen, zum Beispiel Filter, weichmagnetische Kerne, Absorber zur Unterdrückung von zu hohen EMV-Pegeln vorgesehen und aufgebaut. Der Anschlußbereich 27 dient für zusätzliche Fixierung durch Ankergehäuse und zusätzliche Festigkeit während des Anschlusses von Steuerleitungen.The connection modules 2, see Fig. 3a, b, have a substantially cuboidal Body on, on its lower narrow side 20a a T-shaped Einstecksteg 20 integrally formed. The T-shaped insertion web 20 ends but just before the two vertical narrow sides 20b, 20c of the connection module 2, is thus shorter than the length of the lower sides 20a. The opposite upper narrow side of the connection module 2 is stepped with two steps 29 formed, in which case between the side walls of the cuboid connection module 2 terminals 6 and 7 with insertion aids 6a, 7a are inserted and respectively the insertion slots 21, 22 for Form cables. Slots 23, 24, 25, 26 are in the side of the insertion aids provided on both sides of the connection module 2 for locking the insertion aids. This forms the shorter vertical narrow side 20b of the connection module 2 the mounting side for the outer connections. The longer vertical Narrow side 20c, however, has a connection chamber 28 for the connection inside the device. Here is a U-shaped outward open channel between formed the side walls of the connection module, which is the terminal chamber 28 takes up. In this channel, cables with connectors can easily into the interior of the device, i. here the housing part to the bobbin For example, be guided for the coil terminal. Furthermore is the connection module inside to accommodate facilities, for example Filters, soft magnetic cores, absorbers for suppression of provided and constructed high EMC levels. The connection area 27 is used for additional fixation by anchor housing and additional strength during the connection of control lines.

Bei vielen elektromagnetischen Schaltgeräten werden nur drei äußere Anschlußbereiche benötigt, entsprechend sind drei Anschlußmodule 2, siehe Fig. 1 und Fig. 2, vorgesehen. Diese drei Anschlußmodule 2 können an den jeweils entsprechend dem Geräteaufbau und Kundenwunsch zugeordneten drei Ecken von den vier Ecken des Gehäuseteiles vorgesehen werden. Um die vierte Ecke nicht leer zu lassen, ist erfindungsgemäß ein Leermodul 5 vorgesehen, das in der äußeren Form dem Anschlußmodul 2 gleicht und der ebenfalls zum Aufstecken in gleicher Weise wie das Anschlußmodul 2 an seiner Unterseite 50a mit einem T-förmigen Einsteckfuß 50 ausgebildet ist. Auch die Oberseite des Leermoduls ist abgetreppt 29 ausgebildet und auch an seiner längeren vertikalen Schmalseite ist ein U-förmiger Führungskanal ausgebildet.In many electromagnetic switching devices are only three outer terminal areas requires, accordingly, three connection modules 2, see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, provided. These three connection modules 2 can at the respective according to the device structure and customer request assigned three Corners of the four corners of the housing part are provided. To the fourth void does not leave blank, according to the invention a dummy module 5 is provided, which is similar in the outer shape of the connection module 2 and also for plugging in the same way as the connection module 2 at his Bottom 50a is formed with a T-shaped Einsteckfuß 50. Also the Top of the dummy module is stepped 27 formed and also on his longer vertical narrow side is a U-shaped guide channel is formed.

Es ist jederzeit möglich, auch später bei weiterer Ausrüstung des elektromagnetischen Schaltgerätes beispielsweise das Leermodul 5 gegen ein weiteres Anschlußmodul 2 auszuwechseln, falls beispielsweise ein Busanschluß gewünscht wird. Die einfache Anordnung und Befestigung der Module für die Anschlüsse an dem Gehäuseteil 1 werden auf der Oberseite desselben im Bereich zweier zueinander paralleler Seitenwandungen, hier der Seitenwandungen 10, 11, vorgesehen, und zwar nahe den Ecken des Gehäuseteiles. Hierbei sind zu den Gehäusewandungen parallele Nuten 15, 16 bzw. 17, 18 in die Gehäusewandungen eingearbeitet bzw. durch Verbreiterung der Gehäusewandungen mittels eines Steges ausgebildet. Um das Einsetzen der Anschlußmodule bzw. des Leermoduls zu erleichtern, sind diese Nuten 15, 16, 17, 18 auf ihren einander zugewandten Endseiten offen ausgebildet, siehe die Öffnungen 15a, 16a, 17a, 18a, siehe auch Fig. 5.
