The first pair lie on a lower plane of the casing than the second, and extend further to the sides. They correspond with pivoted pairs of carriers (3-6), which work together with the forks, on different planes of the casing.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Klemme mit einem aus Isoliermaterial bestehenden Gehäuse, einem darin stationär angeordneten elektrisch leitenden Kontaktstück mit schneidenbildenden gabelförmigen Aufnahmen und mehreren mittels eines Werkzeuges verschwenkbaren Mitnehmerkörpern, welche dazu vorgesehen sind, jeweils einen in diese einzuführenden, mit einer Isolation versehenen, an das Kontaktstück anzuschliessenden elektrischen Leiter zu halten und letzterem beim Verschwenken aus einer Ausgangslage in einer der gabelförmigen Aufnahmen des Kontaktstückes die Isolation zu durchschneiden und die derart isolationsfreie Stelle des Leiters in leitenden Klemmkontakt mit dem Kontaktstück zu bringen, wobei der Mitnehmerkörper in der Endstellung einrastet.The present invention relates to an electrical terminal with a housing made of insulating material, an electrically conductive contact piece arranged therein with cutting-forming fork-shaped receptacles and a plurality of Mitnehmerkörpern pivotable by means of a tool, which are provided, each one to be introduced into this, provided with an insulation on to hold the contact piece to be connected electrical conductor and the latter when pivoting from a starting position in one of the fork-shaped receptacles of the contact piece to cut the insulation and to bring the thus insulating free point of the conductor in conductive clamping contact with the contact piece, the catch body engages in the end position.

Derartige abisolierfreie, schraubenlose Klemmen sind bekannt und besondere Ausführungsformen in DE 19921775 A1 , die die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1 zeigt, und z. B in CH- PS 653 813 , 664 647 und 667 164 beschrieben. Diese bekannten Klemmen weisen ein Gehäuse mit einem Fuss auf, welcher die Befestigung auf einer Tragschiene erlaubt. Diese Klemmen dienen dem einfachen und raschen Anschluss einer Zuleitung und einer Abgangsleitung, wobei die beiden Leiter über das im Gehäuse untergebrachte Kontaktstück elektrisch miteinander verbunden werden.Such stripping-free, screwless terminals are known and particular embodiments in DE 19921775 A1 showing the features of the preamble of claim 1, and z. B in CH-PS 653 813 . 664 647 and 667 164 described. These known terminals have a housing with a foot, which allows attachment to a mounting rail. These terminals are used for the simple and rapid connection of a supply line and an outgoing line, wherein the two conductors are electrically connected to each other via the contact piece accommodated in the housing.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die heutigen Klemmen mit einer Anschlussstelle für die Zuleitung und einer Anschlussstelle für den Abgang oft nicht genügen. Ein Weiterausbau mit mehr als zwei Anschlussstellen durch Hintereinanderanordnung der Aufnahmen und zugehörigen verschwenkbaren Mitnehmerkörpern ist nicht nur konstruktiv aufwendig, sondern führt auch zu einer entsprechend grösseren Bauweise der Klemme durch die erforderliche Verlängerung des Kontaktstückes.It has been shown that today's terminals with a connection point for the supply line and a connection point for the departure are often not enough. A further development with more than two connection points by sequential arrangement of Shooting and associated pivoting Mitnehmerkörpern is not only structurally complex, but also leads to a correspondingly larger design of the terminal by the required extension of the contact piece.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es, eine Klemmenkonstruktion zu finden, welche mit vier Anschlussstellen ausgerüstet werden kann und dabei trotzdem eine kompakte Bauweise beibehält.Object of the present invention was to find a clamp construction, which can be equipped with four connection points while maintaining a compact design.

Diese Aufgabe ist bei einer Klemme der eingangs definierten Art erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention in a terminal of the type defined by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Besondere Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemässen Klemme sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.Particular embodiments of the clamp according to the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

Der Erfindungsgegenstand wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels noch etwas näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigt:

  • Figur 1 eine erfindungsgemässe Klemme in perspektivischer Darstellung;
  • Figur 2 eine Frontansicht der Klemme nach Figur 1;
  • Figur 3 eine Draufsicht auf die Klemme nach Figur 2, und
  • Figur 4 eine perspektivische Ansicht des in der Klemme eingesetzten Kontaktstückes.
The subject invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. In the drawing shows:
  • 1 shows a clamp according to the invention in a perspective view;
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the clamp of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of the clamp of Figure 2, and
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the contact piece inserted in the terminal.

Die in Figuren 1-3 der Zeichnung dargestellte elektrische abisolierfreie, schraubenlose Klemme besteht aus einem Gehäuse 1 aus Isoliermaterial, welche auf einer Seite offen und auf der anderen Seite mit einer geschlossenen Rückwand 1' versehen ist. In die nach einer Seite offenen Abteile (sie werden durch jeweils eine gereihte Klemme bzw. deren Rückwand geschlossen) ist einerseits ein elektrisch leitendes Kontaktstück 2 unverschieblich eingesetzt und andererseits sind verschwenkbare Mitnehmerkörper 3, 4, 5 und 6 angeordnet. Die Mitnehmerkörper 3-6 sind um Bolzen 3'-6' um 30°-40° verschwenkbar, wie nachstehend noch beschrieben wird.The electrical stripping-free, screwless terminal shown in Figures 1-3 of the drawing consists of a housing 1 made of insulating material which is open on one side and on the other side with a closed rear wall 1 'is provided. In the open to one side compartments (they are closed by a respective ranked clamp or its rear wall) on the one hand an electrically conductive contact piece 2 is inserted immovably and on the other hand pivotable driver body 3, 4, 5 and 6 are arranged. The driver bodies 3-6 are pivotable about bolts 3'-6 'by 30 ° -40 °, as will be described below.

Das Kontaktstück 2, welches in Figur 4 detailliert gezeigt ist, weist die Form eines liegenden H auf, mit einem an beiden Enden im Vergleich zum unteren Schenkel 7 verkürzten oberen Schenkel 8. Die vier Schenkelenden sind mit gabelförmigen Aufnahmen 9-12 versehen, welche innenseitig mit Schneiden ausgerüstet sind, um bei einem dazwischen gedrückten isolierten Leiter die Isolation zu durchtrennen bzw. abzuschälen und dabei einen elektrischen Kontakt zwischen Leiter (nicht dargestellt) und Kontaktstück herzustellen.The contact piece 2, which is shown in detail in Figure 4, has the shape of a horizontal H, with a shortened at both ends compared to the lower leg 7 upper leg 8. The four leg ends are provided with fork-shaped receptacles 9-12, which inside are equipped with cutting to sever or peel off the insulation with an isolated conductor pressed in between, thereby producing an electrical contact between the conductor (not shown) and contact piece.

Da die zu den Seitenwänden des Gehäuses hin offenen vier gabelförmigen Aufnahmen paarweise (9, 10; 11, 12) auf zwei im Abstand übereinander liegenden Ebenen angeordnet sind und die verschwenkbaren Mitnehmerkörper 3-6 ebenfalls paarweise auf zwei Ebenen angelenkt sind, lassen sich vier Anschlüsse bei kompaktester Bauweise realisieren.Since the four fork-shaped receptacles open towards the side walls of the housing are arranged in pairs (9, 10, 11, 12) on two spaced-apart planes and the pivotable driver bodies 3-6 are likewise articulated in pairs on two levels, four connections can be made realize in the most compact design.

Die Mitnehmerkörper 3-6 sind jeweils mit einer durchgehenden Aufnahmebohrung 3''-6'' und einer öffnung 3'''-6''' für ein Betätigungswerkzeug (z. B. Schraubenzieher) sowie einer Klinke K versehen, welche in Wirkstellung der Mitnehmerkörper in jeweils eine Vertiefung des Gehäuses 1 einrastet.The driver bodies 3-6 are each provided with a continuous receiving bore 3 '' - 6 '' and an opening 3 '''-6''' for an actuating tool (eg screwdriver) and a pawl K, which in Active position of the driver body engages in each case a recess of the housing 1.

Ein anzuschliessender Leiter (nicht dargestellt) wird durch die jeweilige Aufnahmebohrung 3''-6'' bis zum Anschlag (an einer Gehäusefläche) gesteckt, dann mittels dem Werkzeug der Mitnehmerkörper 3-6 verschwenkt, wobei der Leiter zwischen die Schneiden der Aufnahmen 9-12 gedrückt und dabei die Isolation auf beiden Seiten des Leiters abgeschält wird, was zur Herstellung eines zuverlässigen elektrischen Kontaktes zwischen Leiter und Kontaktstück 2 führt. Je nach Leiterquerschnitt und Leiterart (Volldraht, Litze)wird die gabelförmige federnde Aufnahme 9-12 mehr oder weniger auseinandergebogen.A conductor to be connected (not shown) is inserted through the respective receiving bore 3 '' - 6 '' to the stop (on a housing surface), then pivoted by means of the tool of the driver body 3-6, wherein the conductor between the cutting 9- 12 pressed while the insulation is peeled off on both sides of the conductor, resulting in the production of a reliable electrical contact between the conductor and contact piece 2. Depending on the conductor cross-section and type of conductor (solid wire, stranded wire), the fork-shaped resilient mount 9-12 is more or less bent apart.

Beim gezeigten Beispiel befinden sich die beiden linken Mitnehmerkörper 3, 4 in Ausgangsstellung (vor dem Einführen eines Leiters) und die beiden rechten Mitnehmerkörper 5, 6 in Wirkstellung (Klemmstellung für die Leiter)eingerastet .In the example shown, the two left Mitnehmerkörper 3, 4 in the starting position (before the insertion of a conductor) and the two right Mitnehmerkörper 5, 6 engaged in operative position (clamping position for the ladder).

Die erfindungsgemässe Klemme erlaubt den Anschluss von bis zu vier Leitern, welche bei Verwendung des gezeigten einteiligen Kontaktstückes 2 alle untereinander verbunden sind. Sollte vorgesehen sein, die Klemme zum Verbinden von jeweils nur zwei Leitern einzusetzen, kann der Verbindungssteg 2' unterbrochen werden. Die Klemme weist dann zwei Anschlusspaare 9, 10 bzw. 11, 12 auf.The inventive terminal allows the connection of up to four conductors, which are all interconnected when using the one-piece contact piece 2 shown. Should it be provided to use the terminal for connecting only two conductors, the connecting web 2 'can be interrupted. The terminal then has two terminal pairs 9, 10 and 11, 12.

Wenn die Klemme nur zum Anschluss von drei Leitern benutzt werden soll, kann auf die Montage von einem der vier Mitnehmerkörper verzichtet werden (vorzugsweise unter Verschluss der entsprechenden Anschlussöffnung im Gehäuse, z. B mittels eines Kunststoff- Deckels). Das Gahäuse 1 ist mit Füssen 13, 14 versehen, welche das Aufschnappen der Klemme auf eine Tragschiene erlauben.If the terminal is to be used only for the connection of three conductors, can be dispensed with the installation of one of the four driver body (preferably under closure of the corresponding connection opening in the housing, for example by means of a plastic lid). The housing 1 is provided with feet 13, 14, which allow snapping the clamp on a mounting rail.
