Im Gehäuseboden ist eine Profildichtung eingelegt bzw. eingespritzt, die durch Zusammenpressen von Gehäuseboden und Gehäusedeckel eine ausreichende Abdichtung gewährleistet. Gehäuseboden und Gehäusedeckel sind hier allerdings nur durch Zerstörung demontierbar, d.h. sie sind dann nicht wieder verwendet werden.A generic module can be found in EP 0 821 434 A1. A profile seal is inserted in the housing base or injected by pressing the case back and Housing cover ensures adequate sealing. The case back and case cover are only through here Destruction can be dismantled, i.e. then they are not reused become.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Modul der obengenannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß sein Gehäuse auf einfache Weise zerstörungsfrei demontierbar ist und zugleich seine Abdichtung nach Schutzart IP 67 gewährleistet ist und hinsichtlich Dichtung des Gehäuses und Kontaktierung des Flachkabels einfache Montage erzielt wird.The invention has for its object a module of the above Kind of improving that his case on simple and non-destructive to dismantle its sealing according to protection class IP 67 is guaranteed and with regard to sealing the housing and contacting the Flat cable easy assembly is achieved.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß der Gehäuseboden und/oder der Gehäusedeckel im kontaktierten Zustand des Flachkabels derart ineinander geschoben sind, daß sich ihre Seitenwände zumindest teilweise formschlüssig überlappen und daß zur vollständigen Funktion der Dichtung, d.h. das Dichten des Gehäusedeckels zum Gehäuseboden, das Gehäuse mit der Montageplatte verschraubt ist. The object is achieved in that the housing bottom and / or the housing cover in the contacted state of the flat cable are pushed into each other so that their side walls overlap at least partially positively and that for the complete function of the seal, i.e. the poetry of the Housing cover to the housing base, the housing with the mounting plate is screwed.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the invention are the subclaims refer to.

An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to a drawing. Show it:
FIG. 1
the basic structure of a module according to the invention,
FIG 2
a cross-sectional view of the module according to the invention and
FIG 3
a top view of the module.

FIG 1 zeigt ein Modul 1 zum Anschluß mehrerer Teilnehmer, z.B. Sensoren und/oder Aktoren. Das Modul 1 dient zum Datenaustausch der Teilnehmer mit einem entfernt gelegenen Master. Als Verbindung zum Master wird ein Bussystem, z.B. eine Zweidrahtleitung, an das Modul 1 angeschlossen. Das Modul 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Gehäuse 2, 3 und einer Montageplatte 4, in deren Ausnehmungen 16 formkodierte Flachkabel 5 als Zweidrahtleitungen eingelegt sind. Das auf die Montageplatte 4 aufschwenkbare Gehäuse 2, 3 beinhaltet eine hier nicht sichtbare Leiterplatte, an die spitze Kontaktierungsstifte 6 angelötet sind. Mit diesen aus den Gehäuse 2, 3 teilweise hervorragenden Kontaktierungsstiften 6 einer Kontaktierungseinrichtung sind mittels Durchdringungstechnik die Flachkabel 5 kontaktierbar.1 shows a module 1 for connecting several subscribers, e.g. Sensors and / or actuators. Module 1 is used for data exchange the participant with a distant master. A bus system, e.g. a two-wire line, connected to module 1. Module 1 exists essentially of a housing 2, 3 and a mounting plate 4, in their recesses 16 shape-coded flat cables 5 are inserted as two-wire lines. That on the mounting plate 4 swiveling housings 2, 3 contains one here Printed circuit board, not visible, on the pointed contact pins 6 are soldered. With these from the housing 2, 3 partially excellent contact pins 6 of a contacting device are the means of penetration Flat cable 5 contactable.

FIG 2 zeigt eine Querschnittsansicht des Moduls 1 im aufgeschwenkten Zustand. Das Gehäuse ist durch einen Gehäuseboden 2 und einen Gehäusedeckel 3 gebildet und weist einen Innenraum 7 auf, in dem die Leiterplatte 8 gelagert ist. Über Teilnehmeranschlüsse 9 am Gehäusedeckel 3 ist die elektrische Verbindung von Teilnehmern mit der Schaltung auf der Leiterplatte 8 herstellbar. Der Gehäuseboden 2 und der Gehäusedeckel 3 sind schachtelförmig ausgeführt. Sie sind in dem hier gezeigten aufgeschwenkten Zustand derart ineinandergeschoben, daß sich ihre Seitenwände 10 bzw. 11 zumindest teilweise formschlüssig überlappen. In dem hier speziell gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Außenkontur des Gehäusebodens 2 der Innenkontur des Gehäusedeckels angepaßt, d.h. der Gehäuseboden 2 ist in den Gehäusedeckel 3 eingeschoben. Der Gehäusedeckel 3 weist an der Innenseite seiner Seitenwände 11 einen Absatz 12 auf. Zwischen diesem Absatz 12 und der Stirnseite 13 des Gehäusebodens 2 liegt eine umlaufende Dichtung 14. Mittels einer Schraube 15 ist das Gehäuse 2, 3 mit der Montageplatte 4 verschraubt, wodurch die vollständige Funktion der Dichtung, nämlich das Dichten des Gehäusedeckels 3 zum Gehäuseboden 2 erreicht wird.2 shows a cross-sectional view of the module 1 in the swung open position Status. The case is through a case back 2 and a housing cover 3 is formed and has an interior 7, in which the circuit board 8 is mounted. about Subscriber connections 9 on the housing cover 3 is the electrical one Connection of participants with the circuit on the circuit board 8 producible.
