- the spacer plates can be combined with at least two different feed terminals and / or at least two through terminals of different sizes of the system.
- the invention goes a different way, because with the spacer plates it is again possible to "jump" in the grid. It must be separated from the comb-like cross-connection element only in the transition region between the terminal blocks of different types each at least one of the tips. In itself, however, the cross-connection elements remain usable.
- the terminal block system has different sizes of feed-through terminals and the spacer plates are dimensioned such that their length at least that of the longest Duchgangsklemme and their height at least that of the highest through terminal of the terminal block system corresponds, so that the spacer plates in the direction of assembly completely cover all the through terminals ,
- a spacer plate is arranged between each feed terminal and the terminals to be fed.
- the spacer plates on break lines on separable sections.
- This variant has the advantage that in the case in which the spacer plate protrudes laterally beyond the adjacent terminal blocks, a corresponding section of the spacer plate can simply be "broken off”.
- FIG. 1 shows a terminal block arrangement with terminal blocks 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f of a first type-here, for example, through terminals-and with a terminal block 2 of a second type-here by way of example a feeder terminal-in a juxtaposition, as shown for example in FIG. not shown here) support rail can be formed.

- the spacer plates 15, 16 are dimensioned such that they can be used in various types of terminal blocks 1 of the first type (generally, through-type terminals). If a terminal block system is planned, the spacer plates 15, 16 must have such an area that all terminal blocks of the arrangement and a corresponding terminal block system are covered with her to get along as possible with only a single type of spacer plates. This is illustrated in particular also in FIGS. 2a-c.
- the width d of the spacer plates 15, 16 is selected so that after removing the adjacent tips that tip 10, which is inserted into the terminal block 2 of the second type, preferably the next but two tips 10 back into the receiving holes in the spacer plates 15, 16 subsequent further terminal blocks 1 first type intervene.
- the width d of the spacer plates 15, 16 is preferably smaller than the width b of the through terminals 1.
- Fig. 2 which shows by way of example different terminal block assemblies, which can be realized with a parent terminal system
- the surface of the spacer plates 15, 16 is dimensioned so that all terminal blocks of the first type and also second type are completely covered in the direction of arrangement.

- this effect is outweighed by the advantage of the same part insert (only one type of spacer plates 15, 16 required).
- the feed terminal has two receiving holes 12. It is therefore not a single cross-connection element used but there are two cross-connecting elements 8 are used. These are each by itself by the use of spacer plates to the left or right again in the grid.
- the feed terminal has only a single receiving hole 12.
- the cross-connection arrangement corresponds to that of Fig. 2a.
- Fig. 2c shows a cross-connection arrangement with a smaller detent spacing of the contact tips 10, wherein the through terminals 1 have a smaller width than the feed-through terminals 1 of Fig. 2a.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Reihenklemmensystem zur Realisierung von Reihenklemmenanordnungen auf einer Tragschiene nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a terminal block system for the realization of terminal block assemblies on a mounting rail according to the preamble of claim 1.
Wie in der DE 297 19 177 U1 beschrieben, besteht bei einer Aneinanderreihung von Reihenklemmen verschiedener Bauart i.allg. das Problem, auf konstruktiv einfache Weise die Querverbindung zu realisieren.As described in DE 297 19 177 U1, there is a juxtaposition of terminal blocks of different types i.allg. the problem in a structurally simple way to realize the cross connection.
Insbesondere ist es wünschenswert, Querverbindungselemente zur Querverbindung einzusetzen, welche kammartig ausgebildet sind und einen Quersteg aufweisen, der mit zueinander parallelen, vom Quersteg abtrennbaren und in einem vorgegebenem Rasterabstand angeordneten Kontaktspitzen versehen ist.In particular, it is desirable to use cross-connection elements for cross-connection, which are comb-like and have a transverse web which is provided with mutually parallel, separable from the transverse web and arranged at a predetermined grid spacing contact tips.
Nach der DE 297 19 177 U1 wird dieses Problem dadurch gelöst, dass in der Stromschiene einer breiteren Reihenklemme mindestens ein Aufnahmeloch für eine der Spitzen des Querverbinders in dem einer benachbarten Reihenklemme schmalerer Bauart zugewandten Randbereich ausgebildet ist. Die Lage dieses Aufnahmeloches ermöglicht eine Anpassung an das kleinere Rastermaß der schmaleren Reihenklemmen.According to DE 297 19 177 U1 this problem is solved in that in the busbar of a wider terminal at least one receiving hole for one of the tips of the cross connector in the adjacent terminal of a narrower type facing edge region is formed. The location of this recording hole allows adaptation to the smaller pitch of the narrower terminal blocks.
Diese Lösung hat sich an sich bewährt. Sie ist aber nur einsetzbar, wenn die breitere Reihenklemme - die im allgemeinen aufgrund der Möglichkeit zum Anschluss von Leitern größeren Querschnitts als Einspeiseklemme der Reihenklemmenanordnung dient - die angereihten Reihenklemmen hinsichtlich ihrer Konturen im Anreihbereich vollständig abdeckt. Ist dies nicht gegeben, stehen die anzureihenden Reihenklemmen - insbesondere Durchgangsklemmen - auch im angereihten Zustand nach außen hin u.U. teilweise offen, was aus sicherheitstechnischen Gründen nicht zulässig ist.This solution has proven itself. However, it can only be used if the broader terminal block - which generally serves as the terminal block of the terminal block arrangement due to the possibility of connecting conductors of larger cross-section - completely covers the rows of terminals connected in line with each other in the baying area. If this is not the case, the terminal blocks to be indicated - in particular through terminals - may also be in the connected state to the outside. partially open, which is not permitted for safety reasons.
Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, dieses Problem zu lösen.The invention has the object to solve this problem.
Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1.The invention achieves this goal by the subject matter of claim 1.
Danach ist zwischen den Reihenklemmen der verschiedenen Bauart zumindest jeweils eine Distanzplatte angeordnet, welche derart bemessen ist, dass die Spitzen des Querverbindungselementes in die Ausnahmelöcher des Querverbindungskanals wenigstens einer der benachbarten Reihenklemmen verschiedener Bauart einpassen, welche die Konturen der benachbarten Reihenklemmen verschiedener Bauart, zwischen denen die Distanzplatte angeordnet ist, vollständig abdeckt.Thereafter, between the terminal blocks of the various types at least one spacer plate is arranged, which is dimensioned such that fit the tips of the cross-connecting element in the Ausnahlöcher the cross connection channel of at least one of the adjacent terminal blocks of different design, which the contours of the adjacent terminal blocks of various types, between which Distance plate is arranged, completely covering.
Insbesondere sind die Distanzplatten zumindest mit zwei verschiedenen Einspeiseklemmen und/oder zumindest mit zwei Durchgangsklemmen unterschiedlicher Baugröße des Systems kombinierbar.In particular, the spacer plates can be combined with at least two different feed terminals and / or at least two through terminals of different sizes of the system.
Es ist zwar prinzipiell bekannt, die zumeist einseitig nach außen offenstehenden Reihenklemmen jeweils am Ende einer Reihung mit Abschlussplatten zu verschließen, welche die Kontur der Reihenklemme im Anreihbereich vollständig abdeckt. Diese Abschlussplatten sind aber jeweils speziell an Reihenklemmen einer Bauart angepasst, so dass für ein Reihenklemmensystem verschiedene Abschlussplatten bevorratet werden müssen. Zudem ist es nach einem Einsatz der Abschlussplatten nicht mehr möglich, die kostengünstigen kammartigen Querverbindungselement einzusetzen, da im Übergangsbereich zwischen den Reihenklemmen verschiedenen Typs jeweils das Rastermaß verlassen wird.Although it is in principle known to close the mostly unilaterally outwardly open terminal blocks at the end of a series of end plates, which completely covers the contour of the terminal in the Anreihbereich. However, these end plates are each specially adapted to terminal blocks of a type, so that for a terminal block system different end plates are stored have to. In addition, it is no longer possible to use the cost comb-like cross-connection element after use of the end plates, as in the transition region between the terminal blocks of different types in each case the grid is left.
Hier geht die Erfindung einen anderen Weg, denn mit den Distanzplatten wird es wieder möglich, in das Raster "zu springen". Es muss lediglich im Übergangsbereich zwischen den Reihenklemmen der verschiedenen Bauarten jeweils zumindest eine der Spitzen vom kammartigen Querverbindungselement abgetrennt werden. An sich bleiben die Querverbindungselemente aber einsetzbar.Here the invention goes a different way, because with the spacer plates it is again possible to "jump" in the grid. It must be separated from the comb-like cross-connection element only in the transition region between the terminal blocks of different types each at least one of the tips. In itself, however, the cross-connection elements remain usable.
Dies ist insbesondere vorteilhaft, wenn das Reihenklemmensystem verschiedene Baugrößen von Durchgangsklemmen aufweist und die Distanzplatten derart bemessen sind, dass ihre Länge zumindest derjenigen der längsten Duchgangsklemme und ihre Höhe zumindest derjenigen der höchsten Durchgangsklemme des Reihenklemmensystems entspricht, so dass die Distanzplatten in Anreihrichtung sämtliche Durchgangsklemmen vollständig abdecken.This is particularly advantageous if the terminal block system has different sizes of feed-through terminals and the spacer plates are dimensioned such that their length at least that of the longest Duchgangsklemme and their height at least that of the highest through terminal of the terminal block system corresponds, so that the spacer plates in the direction of assembly completely cover all the through terminals ,
Vorzugsweise ist zwischen jeder Einspeiseklemme und den einzuspeisenden Klemmen eine Distanzplatte angeordnet.Preferably, a spacer plate is arranged between each feed terminal and the terminals to be fed.
Nach einer Variante weisen die Distanzplatten an Sollbruchlinien abtrennbare Abschnitte auf. Diese Variante hat den Vorteil, dass in dem Fall, in welchem die Distanzplatte seitlich über die benachbarten Reihenklemmen vorsteht, ein entsprechender Abschnitt der Distanzplatte einfach "abgebrochen" werden kann.According to a variant, the spacer plates on break lines on separable sections. This variant has the advantage that in the case in which the spacer plate protrudes laterally beyond the adjacent terminal blocks, a corresponding section of the spacer plate can simply be "broken off".
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt:
- Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Darstellung einer Reinenklemmenanordnung; und
- Fig. 2a-c schematische Darstellungen weiterer Reihenklemmenanordnungen, jeweils in einer Draufsicht.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pure clamp assembly; and
- Fig. 2a-c are schematic representations of further terminal block assemblies, each in a plan view.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Reihenklemmenanordnung mit Reihenklemmen 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f einer ersten Bauart - hier beispielhaft Durchgangsklemmen - und mit einer Reihenklemme 2 zweiter Bauart - hier beispielhaft eine Einspeiseklemme - in einer Aneinanderreihung, wie sie beispielsweise auf einer (hier nicht dargestellten) Tragschiene ausgebildet werden kann.1 shows a terminal block arrangement with
Die Reihenklemmen der zwei Bauarten weisen jeweils Rastmittel 3 zum Aufrasten auf die Tragschiene auf. Sie sind ferner hier jeweils an ihren Oberseiten mit Anschlüssen 4, 5 zum Anschluss externer Leiter verbunden.The terminal blocks of the two types each have locking means 3 for latching onto the mounting rail. They are also here in each case connected at their tops with
Hier weisen die Reihenklemmen 1 erster Bauart beispielsweise an ihren von der Tragschiene abgewandten Oberseite jeweils vier Anschlüsse 4a-d für Leiter eines ersten Durchmessers auf, wohingegen die Reihenklemme 2 zweiter Bauart mindestens einen Anschluß 5a, b aufweist, welche aber zum Anschluss von Leitern ausgelegt sind, welche im Verhältnis zu den Anschlüssen 4 der Reihenklemmen 1 erster Bauart einen vorzugsweise größeren Durchmesser aufweisen.Here, the terminal blocks 1 first type, for example, on their side facing away from the DIN rail top four terminals 4a-d for conductors of a first diameter, whereas the
Die Reihenklemmen der verschiedenen Bauarten können unterschiedliche Baubreiten b, b' aufweisen (in Anreihrichtung) sowie verschiedene Baulängen 1, 1' (quer zur Anreihrichtung; siehe auch Fig. 2). Ihre Bauhöhe h (relativ Rastposition auf der Tragschiene ist im vorliegenden Fall hingegen gleich. Die Bauhöhe h könnte auch unterschiedlich sein, es sollen jedoch die Kontakte der Querverbindungselemente (weiter unten näher beschrieben) in einer Höhe über der Tragschiene liegen.The terminal blocks of different types may have different widths b, b '(in the direction of arrangement) and different lengths 1, 1' (transverse to the direction of arrangement, see also Fig. 2). Their overall height h (relative detent position on the mounting rail is, however, the same in the present case.) The overall height h could also be different, but the contacts of the transverse connection elements (described in more detail below) should lie at a height above the mounting rail.
Die Reihenklemmen 1, 2 beider Bauarten weisen wenigstens einen sogenannten Querverbindungskanal 6, 7 auf, in welchen kammartige Querverbindungselemente 8 mit einem Quersteg 9 und daran angeordneten Kontaktspitzen 10 einsteckbar sind, wie sie beispielsweise aus der DE 297 19 177 U1 bekannt sind.The
Die Spitzen 10 sind lösbar ausgebildet (d.h. sie können abgebrochen werden, soweit sie nicht benötigt werden) und sind in einem fixen Rasterabstand r zueinander angeordnet.The tips 10 are detachably formed (i.e., they can be broken off unless they are needed) and are arranged at a fixed pitch r relative to each other.
Die Querverbindungskanäle 6, 7 der Reihenklemmen verschiedener Bauart liegen in einer Ebene bzw. sie fluchten in Tragschienenrichtung miteinander.The
In den Querverbindungskanälen 6, 7 der Reihenklemmen 1, 2 beider Bauarten ist jeweils wenigstens ein Aufnahmeloch 11, 12 zum Einstecken der Spitzen 10 der Querverbindungselemente 8 ausgebildet.In the
Nach Fig. 1 wird die Reihung der Reihenklemmen vom ersten Typ und kann die eine Reihenklemme vom zweiten Typ je mit einer derartigen Abschlussplatte 13, 14 an ihren offenen Seiten abgeschlossen sein.Referring to Fig. 1, the sequence of the terminal blocks of the first type and the one terminal block of the second type can each be completed with such a
Hieran ist wiederum problematisch, dass die kammartigen Querverbindungselemente 8 mit vorgegebenem Rasterabstand der Spitzen 10 der Querverbindungselemente 8 an sich nicht mehr einsetzbar wären, denn mit den Abschlussplatten 13, 14 wird das Raster verlassen, in welchem die Spitzen 10 der Querverbindungselemente angeordnet sind. Zudem sind die Abschlussplatten 13, 14 jeweils exakt an spezielle Reihenklemmen angepasst und nicht bei Reihenklemmen verschiedener Größe einsetzbar.This, in turn, is problematic in that the comb-like cross-connection elements 8 with a predetermined grid spacing of the tips 10 of the cross-connection elements 8 would not be used per se, because with the
Es ist daher vorgesehen, durch Distanzplatten eine Anordnung zu schaffen, welche wiederum die Rasteranforderungen erfüllt. Es ist lediglich notwendig, wiederum überzählige Spitzen 10 vom Querverbindungselement 8 abzutrennen.It is therefore intended to create an arrangement by spacer plates, which in turn meets the grid requirements. It is only necessary in turn to separate excess tips 10 from the transverse connecting element 8.
In Fig. 1 ist jeweils beidseits der Einspeiseklemme 2 mit der Abschlussplatte 14 jeweils eine der Distanzplatten 15, 16 angeordnet.In Fig. 1, in each case one of the
Nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 werden die Reihenklemmen 1 erster Bauart zur Reihenklemme 2 zweiter Bauart hin in Anreihrichtung jeweils vollständig von einer der Distanzplatte 15, 16 abgedeckt. Die Baubreite d dieser Distanzplatten 15, 16 ist derart gewählt, dass die Spitzen 10 des kammartigen Querverbindungselementes 8 (nach dem Abtrennen überzähliger Spitzen 10) wiederum in jedes Aufnahmeloch 11, 12 jeder Reihenklemme 1, 2 der Reihenklemmenanordnung einsteckbar sind.According to the embodiment of Fig. 1, the terminal blocks 1 of the first type to the
Die Distanzplatten 15, 16 sind derart bemessen, dass sie bei verschiedenen Typen von Reihenklemmen 1 erster Bauart (im allgemeinen handelt es sich hier um Durchgangsklemmen) einsetzbar sind. Wird ein Reihenklemmensystem geplant, müssen die Distanzplatten 15, 16 eine solche Fläche aufweisen, dass sämtliche Reihenklemmen der Anordnung und eines entsprechenden Reihenklemmensystems mit ihr abgedeckt werden, um möglichst mit nur einem einzigen Typ von Distanzplatten auszukommen. Dies veranschaulichen insbesondere auch Fig. 2a-c.The
Die Breite d der Distanzplatten 15, 16 ist so gewählt, dass nach dem Entfernen der benachbarten Spitzen derjenigen Spitze 10, welche in die Reihenklemme 2 zweiter Bauart eingesteckt wird, die vorzugsweise übernächsten Spitzen 10 wieder in die Aufnahmelöcher der sich an die Distanzplatten 15, 16 anschließenden weiteren Reihenklemmen 1 erster Bauart eingreifen.The width d of the
Trotz der unterschiedlichen Abmessungen der Reihenklemmen erster und zweiter Bauart, insbesondere trotz unterschiedlicher Breite b und Länge 1 machen es die Distanzplatten 15, 16 also möglich, weiterhin das kostengünstige Querverbindungselement 8 einzusetzen. Die Breite d der Distanzplatten 15, 16 ist vorzugsweise kleiner ist als die Breite b der Durchgangsklemmen 1.Despite the different dimensions of the terminal blocks of the first and second type, in particular despite different width b and length 1 make it the
Wie in Fig. 2 zu erkennen, welche beispielhaft verschiedene Reihenklemmenanordnungen zeigt, welche sich mit einem übergeordneten Reihenklemmensystem realisieren lassen, ist die Fläche der Distanzplatten 15, 16 so bemessen, dass alle Reihenklemmen erster Bauart und auch zweiter Bauart in Anreihrichtung vollständig abgedeckt werden.As can be seen in Fig. 2, which shows by way of example different terminal block assemblies, which can be realized with a parent terminal system, the surface of the
Hierdurch ist es möglich, kostengünstig mit nur einer einzigen Art von Distanzplatten 15, 16 im gesamten Reihenklemmensystem auszukommen. Insbesondere können die Reihenklemmen erster Bauart eine kleinere Höhe oder ein- oder beidseitig des Querverbindungselements 8 eine kleinere Länge 1 (Fig. 2b und 2c) aufweisen als die Distanzplatten 15, 16 (siehe Fig. 2a, 2b und 2c), so dass die Distanzplatten in diesem Bereich über die Durchgangsklemmen überstehen. Dieser Effekt wird jedoch durch den Vorteil des Gleichteileinsatzes (nur ein Typ von Distanzplatten 15, 16 erforderlich) überwogen.This makes it possible to inexpensively manage with only a single type of
Nach Fig. 2a hat die Einspeiseklemme zwei Aufnahmelöcher 12. Es wird daher nicht ein einziges Querverbindungselement eingesetzt sondern es kommen zwei Querverbindungselemente 8 zum Einsatz. Diese liegen je für sich durch den Einsatz der Distanzplatten jedoch nach links oder rechts wiederum im Raster.According to Fig. 2a, the feed terminal has two receiving holes 12. It is therefore not a single cross-connection element used but there are two cross-connecting elements 8 are used. These are each by itself by the use of spacer plates to the left or right again in the grid.
Nach Fig. 2b hat die Einspeiseklemme nur ein einziges Aufnahmeloch 12. Die Querverbindungsanordnung entspricht jener der Fig. 2a.According to Fig. 2b, the feed terminal has only a single receiving hole 12. The cross-connection arrangement corresponds to that of Fig. 2a.
Fig. 2c zeigt eine Querverbindungsanordnung mit kleinerem Rastenabstand der Kontaktspitzen 10, wobei auch die Durchgangsklemmen 1 eine kleinere Breite aufweisen als die Durchgangsklemmen 1 der Fig. 2a.Fig. 2c shows a cross-connection arrangement with a smaller detent spacing of the contact tips 10, wherein the through terminals 1 have a smaller width than the feed-through terminals 1 of Fig. 2a.
