Definitions
- the invention relates to an installation box for electrical installations, in particular a flush-type box, consisting of a box body with a base and radially directed coupling sockets for the mechanical connection of adjacent boxes.
- Such installation boxes are used for electrical installation devices such as switches, sockets, cable taps or the like.
- electrical installation devices such as switches, sockets, cable taps or the like.
- flush-mounted boxes, concrete boxes, cavity wall boxes and junction boxes are known.
- the desired inserts for example switch or socket inserts, are then fastened in these flush-mounted boxes. These must then be wired together as required.
- the connection line must also be inserted into the first socket of a series of sockets and connected accordingly. The wiring work requires a lot of time and money.
- the invention has for its object to provide an installation box of the generic type, which is simplified with regard to the line connection.
- the bottom is designed as a printed circuit board or is provided on the inside with a printed circuit board, that the printed circuit board has a plurality of electrically separated conductor tracks, that the conductor tracks have plugs / couplings opening into the coupling socket and that connection areas on the socket are provided in the socket Traces are formed.
- the coupling sockets are closed by break-out wall parts.
- connection areas on the conductor tracks are designed as terminal strips, two parallel terminal strips preferably being provided in each socket.
- the conductor tracks are dimensioned appropriately for electrical supply lines up to 230 volts and a cross section of 2.5 mm 2 .
- the coupling sockets are directed coaxially to one another. It is also particularly preferred that the circular box in plan view has a through-hole for a fastening means in the center of the bottom and in the printed circuit board or in the bottom designed as a printed circuit board.
- a dowel is attached to the through hole, which projects from the outside of the floor.
- the can wall has an expansion or adjustment range for a stepped or stepless height adjustment and for a fixation in the selected height.
- a printed circuit board is provided as a base or integrated in the base, which has a large number of conductor tracks, for example seven conductor tracks. These conductor tracks can be connected to one
- Mains connection can be connected, for example an outer conductor, a neutral conductor and a protective conductor. Additional conductor tracks are available as switching tracks for connections. If several installation boxes are to be connected to one another, the corresponding wall part is first broken out of the respective coupling socket. The cans can then be coupled to one another, being mechanically and electrically connected to one another are. Preferably, the connection to the device to be inserted into the socket is also in the form of a plug connection, for which purpose the corresponding terminal strips are designed as plug-in terminal strips.
- the mains connection is inserted into a socket on the first socket in the direction of installation, from which the wall part is also previously broken out. The fitter only needs to wire the mains connection to the first socket in a row.
- the electrical connection of the other sockets takes place exclusively via the plug-in connection of the couplings and sockets, which are arranged projecting into the coupling socket.
- the number of conductor tracks enables the installer to produce all circuits and wiring, depending on the desired application.
- the design according to the invention also enables the simple replacement of inserts or the like, for which purpose only the corresponding plug connections can be released.
- a particularly advantageous development is that an opening in the center of the printed circuit board is provided in a round shape. This is used to introduce one Fastening screw that can be inserted into a pre-drilled hole using a dowel.
- the dowel can be formed in one piece with the installation box in a simple manner or can be positively connected to it in another way, for example by latching.
- the specified expansion or adjustment range represents a separate invention.
- the increase can be, for example, 0 to 18 mm.
- the wall element In the respective extended stretched position, the wall element can be locked so that it cannot be pushed back accidentally and unintentionally.
- barb-like locking means or the like can be provided, by means of which the respective expansion stages can be locked.
- FIG. 3 shows a variant in side view
- Installation boxes 1 for electrical installations are shown in the drawing. For example, it is a flush-mounted box.
- This consists of a box body with bottom 2 and radially directed coupling piece 3, 4, by means of which the boxes 1 can be mechanically connected to one another in series.
- the bottom of the box 1 is designed as a printed circuit board 5, the printed circuit board having a plurality, in particular seven, electrically conductive tracks 6.
- the conductor tracks have connectors 7 or couplings 8 opening into the coupling sockets 3 or 4, so that the sockets are not only mechanically connected to one another when they are plugged together, but in particular their conductor tracks 6 are electrically connected to one another on their circuit boards 5.
- 1 connection areas for inserts on the conductor tracks 6 are formed in the box. In the exemplary embodiment, these connection areas are designed as plug-in terminal strips 8.
- break-out wall parts are provided at the mouths, such a break-out protective plate being shown only at 9 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1.
- the conductor tracks 6 are dimensioned for electrical supply lines up to 230 volts and a cross section of 2.5 mm 2 .
- the coupling pieces 3, 4 are directed coaxially to one another.
- the box 1 is circular, a through-hole 10 being provided in the center of the bottom or the printed circuit board 5, through which fastening means can be guided.
- a dowel 11 can be connected to this through hole 10, which is suitable and intended for receiving a fastening means 12 in the form of a screw.
- the can wall can have an expansion and adjustment area 13, so that a stepped or stepless height adjustment is possible and a fixation in the respectively selected height position can be achieved.
- the supply line 14 For installation, after inserting the boxes 1 into the corresponding wall opening or in the wall eruption, it is first possible to feed the supply line 14 through the nozzle 3 located at the top in the drawing figure 1.
- the supply line can also be supplied elsewhere through the nozzle 3 through a wall opening.
- This mains-side supply line 14 can be placed on the first terminal block 8, so that the mains supply is guaranteed. Subsequent wiring of the sockets is not required.
- the devices 15 to be inserted into the cans accordingly can be fitted with plug-in terminals or be placed on the further terminal block 8 with connecting lines, which is possible with little effort.
