Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung von mindestens zwei Schalteinrichtungen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Derartige Schalteinrichtungen sind insbesondere Geräteschalter für ein Haushaltsgerät, beispielsweise taktende Energieregler für ein Kochfeld.The invention relates to an arrangement of at least two switching devices According to the preamble of claim 1. Such switching devices are in particular device switches for a household appliance, for example, clocking energy regulators for a hob.
Beispielsweise bei Kochfeldern mit vier Kochstellen sind dementsprechend vier Energieregler als Schalteinrichtungen vorgesehen. Sie können, wie beispielsweise aus der EP 977 224 A bekannt ist, nebeneinander hinter einer Frontblende montiert sein. An die Anschlüsse der Energieregler werden sogenannte Anschlussstecker befestigt, welche in der Regel mehrere Kontakte in einem Steckergehäuse vereinigen. Dabei bedeutet zum einen das Vorsehen der verschiedenen Stecker einen gewissen Aufwand. Des weiteren wird versucht, durch immer kleinere Schalteinrichtungen oder Kontaktabstände Platz zu sparen und den Aufwand zu minimieren. Hierbei stößt man jedoch an gewisse technische Grenzen.For example, for cooktops with four hotplates are accordingly four energy regulators are provided as switching devices. You can, as is known for example from EP 977 224 A, side by side be mounted behind a front panel. To the connections of the energy regulator So-called connectors are attached, which in the Usually combine several contacts in one connector housing. there on the one hand, the provision of the various plugs means one some effort. Furthermore, attempts are made by getting smaller and smaller Switching devices or contact spacing to save space and effort to minimize. However, one encounters certain technical issues here Limits.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine eingangs genannte Anordnung zu schaffen, mit der die Nachteile des Standes der Technik vermieden werden können, insbesondere die Anschlussmöglichkeiten für solche Anordnungen von Schaltgeräten zu verbessern.The invention has for its object an arrangement mentioned to create, with the disadvantages of the prior art avoided can be, especially the connection options for to improve such arrangements of switching devices.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Anordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte sowie bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der weiteren Ansprüche und werden im folgenden näher erläutert. Der Wortlaut der Ansprüche wird durch ausdrückliche Bezugnahme zum Inhalt der Beschreibung gemacht.This task is solved by an arrangement with the characteristics of claim 1. Advantageous and preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of further claims and are described below explained in more detail. The wording of the claims is by express Reference made to the content of the description.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Anschluss einer Schalteinrichtung mit einem Anschluss einer oder der anderen Schalteinrichtung verbunden, und zwar mittels einer Verbindungsbrücke. Dies bedeutet, dass die Verbindungsbrücke von der einen Schalteinrichtung bzw. dem einen Anschluss zu der anderen Schalteinrichtung bzw. zu dem anderen Anschluss verläuft. Die beiden Anschlüsse sind einteilig mit der Verbindungsbrücke ausgeführt und bilden auch eine elektrisch leitfähige Verbindung. Dies ermöglicht es, beispielsweise nur einen Anschluss mit einer externen Steckerverbindung zu kontaktieren und damit auch gleichzeitig den anderen Anschluss. So wird der Anschlussaufwand reduziert, insbesondere bezüglich Steckerverbindungen.According to the invention is a connection of a switching device with a Connection of one or the other switching device connected, and by means of a connecting bridge. This means that the connecting bridge of the one switching device or the one connection runs to the other switching device or to the other connection. The two connections are in one piece with the connecting bridge executed and also form an electrically conductive connection. This allows, for example, only one connection with an external Plug connection to contact and thus also the other Connection. The connection effort is reduced, in particular regarding plug connections.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es möglich, jeweils mehrere Verbindungsbrücken zwischen den Schalteinrichtungen vorzusehen, wenn jeweils mehrere Anschlüsse vorhanden sind. Diese Anschlüsse können beispielsweise Masseanschlüsse oder Netzphasenanschlüsse sein. In a further embodiment of the invention, it is possible to have several each To provide connecting bridges between the switching devices, if there are multiple connections. These connections can for example ground connections or mains phase connections his.
Des weiteren ist es möglich, mit einer Verbindungsbrücke zwischen zwei Schalteinrichtungen auch mehrere Anschlüsse in jeweils einer Schalteinrichtung zu erreichen.It is also possible to use a connecting bridge between two Switching devices also several connections in one switching device to reach.
Die einteilige Verbindung zwischen Anschlüssen und Verbindungsbrücke sollte zum einen möglichst gut elektrisch leitend und vorteilhaft auch noch mechanisch stabil sein. Die Anschlüsse können dabei mit der Verbindungsbrücke eine Baueinheit bilden. Des weiteren ist es möglich, die Verbindungsbrücke mit ihren Anschlüssen einstückig auszubilden, also aus einem einzigen Materialstück auszuformen. Hierfür bietet sich beispielsweise ein Ausformen aus einer Metallplatine an, aus der Verbindungsbrücke und Anschlüsse entsprechend ausgestanzt oder per Laser herausgeschnitten werden können. Es kann auch insbesondere eine Metallplatine aus einem Metallband verwendet werden. Möglichkeiten der Massenfertigung, unter Umständen mit leichter Anpassung verschiedener Formen, können hier genutzt werden.The one-piece connection between connections and connecting bridge On the one hand, it should be as good as possible electrically conductive and also advantageous still be mechanically stable. The connections can be made using the connecting bridge form a structural unit. Furthermore, it is possible to To form a connecting bridge with its connections in one piece, that is form from a single piece of material. This is useful, for example a molding from a metal board, from the connecting bridge and connections punched out accordingly or by laser can be cut out. It can also be a particular one Metal board from a metal band can be used. possibilities mass production, possibly with slight adjustment of various Shapes can be used here.
Die Verbindungsbrücke ist als eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung bandförmig, wobei sie einen ausreichenden Leiterquerschnitt aufweist bei entsprechend großen elektrischen Leistungen. Sie verläuft vorteilhaft zwischen zwei benachbarten und einen gewissen Abstand aufweisenden Schalteinrichtungen. Dabei können die Anschlüsse in senkrechter Richtung von der Längsrichtung der Verbindungsbrücke abstehen. Für eine vorteilhafte Anschlussmöglichkeit der Schalteinrichtungen sollten die meisten, insbesondere sämtliche, Anschlüsse der Schalteinrichtungen in gleiche Richtung weisen. An parallele Anschlüsse kann mit einer einzigen Steckverbindung bzw. einer einzigen Bewegung für mehrere Steckverbindungen ein elektrischer Anschluss leicht hergestellt werden.The connecting bridge is a particularly advantageous embodiment band-shaped, it has a sufficient conductor cross-section with correspondingly large electrical outputs. It runs favorably between two neighboring ones and at a certain distance Switching devices. The connections can be vertical Protrude from the longitudinal direction of the connecting bridge. For an advantageous connection possibility of the switching devices should most, especially all, connections of the switching devices point in the same direction. Parallel connections can be made with a single connector or a single movement for several Plug connections an electrical connection can be made easily.
Des weiteren ist es möglich, von der Verbindungsbrücke selber in einem Bereich zwischen den Schalteinrichtungen einen Anschluss abstehen zu lassen. Dieser Anschluss sollte vorteilhaft auf dieselbe Art und Weise ausgebildet sein wie die anderen Anschlüsse, insbesondere als Steckanschlussfahne. Damit kann, beispielsweise für Netzanschlüsse, zusätzlicher Raum, nämlich zwischen den Schalteinrichtungen, für Steckanschlüsse verwendet werden. Dies ermöglicht beispielsweise eine weitere Verkleinerung des Raumes für die Schalteinrichtungen, von welchen die Anschlüsse abstehen.Furthermore, it is possible from the connecting bridge itself in one Area between the switching devices project a connection to let. This connection should be advantageous in the same way be designed like the other connections, in particular as a plug connection lug. This can be used, for example, for network connections Space, namely between the switching devices, for plug connections be used. This enables, for example, another Reduction of the space for the switching devices, of which the Protruding connections.
Eine Verbindungsbrücke kann flexibel ausgebildet sein, wobei sie vorteilhaft in einer Bewegungsebene biegbar ist. Hierzu kann ein Streifen aus Flachmaterial verwendet werden, der eben diese Biegbarkeit in einer Bewegungsebene aufweist. Die Verbindungsbrücke kann aber auch zwar biegbar, jedoch im wesentlichen eigensteif ausgebildet sein. So kann sie eine stabile Baueinheit aus den Schalteinrichtungen bilden.A connecting bridge can be flexible, but it is advantageous is bendable in one plane of movement. A strip can be used for this be used from flat material, which just this flexibility in one Has level of movement. The connecting bridge can also Although bendable, it should be essentially rigid. So it can form a stable structural unit from the switching devices.
Es ist insbesondere bei mehreren Verbindungsbrücken zwischen zwei Schalteinrichtungen möglich, diese etwas gegeneinander zu bewegen. Sie sollten jedoch nicht gegeneinander verdrehbar sein, was beispielsweise bei Montage ein großer Vorteil ist. Bevorzugt verlaufen die Verbindungsbrücken zwischen nächstliegenden bzw. einander zugewandten Seiten der Schalteinrichtungen, also auf dem kürzesten Weg.It is particularly in the case of several connecting bridges between two Switching devices possible to move them slightly against each other. However, they should not be rotatable against each other, for example is a great advantage during assembly. The connecting bridges preferably run between closest or facing each other Sides of the switchgear, i.e. the shortest route.
Des weiteren ist es möglich, eine Verbindungsbrücke in ihrem Verlauf abzubiegen. Derartige Biegungen, die sogar Absätze oder Schleifen bilden können, können zum einen vorgesehen sein, um der Verbindungsbrücke einen bestimmten Verlauf zu geben bzw. sie an einer bestimmten Stelle zu positionieren. Dies ist insbesondere dann von Vorteil, wenn an einer Verbindungsbrücke ein Anschluss vorgesehen ist und dieser in ein bestimmtes Anschlussmuster passen soll. Des weiteren kann so bei stets gleichen Verbindungsbrücken durch S-förmiges Falten oder einen Absatz eine Verkürzung der Verbindungsbrücke stattfinden. So können fertige Anordnungen von Schalteinrichtungen auf unterschiedliche Abstände voneinander, und somit unterschiedliche Knebelabstände der Drehknebel zur Betätigung, eingestellt werden. Dies reduziert Werkzeugkosten und Lageraufwand.Furthermore, it is possible to build a connecting bridge in its course turn. Such bends that even form paragraphs or loops can, on the one hand, be provided around the connecting bridge to give a certain course or to them on a certain Position. This is particularly advantageous if a connection is provided on a connecting bridge and this in a certain connection pattern should fit. Furthermore, so at always the same connecting bridges by S-shaped folding or one Paragraph a shortening of the connecting bridge take place. So can finished arrangements of switching devices at different distances from each other, and thus different gag spacing of the Rotary knob for actuation can be set. This reduces tool costs and storage costs.
Des weiteren ist es möglich, eine insbesondere metallische Verbindungsbrücke zumindest teilweise, insbesondere vollständig bis auf abstehende Anschlüsse, zu isolieren. Hierfür können Kunststoffummantelungen vorgesehen sein, welche auch nachträglich flüssig oder streichfähig aufgebracht werden können.Furthermore, it is possible to use a connecting bridge, in particular a metallic one at least partially, in particular completely except for protruding ones Connections, isolate. Plastic sheaths can be used for this be provided, which can also be liquid or spreadable subsequently can be applied.
Eine Baueinheit aus Verbindungsbrücke mit Anschlüssen kann in ein Gehäuse der Schalteinrichtungen eingebaut werden. Dabei sollte die Baueinheit fest in den Schalteinrichtungen sitzen. Hierfür hat sich ein Einspritzen in ein Kunststoffgehäuse für die Schalteinrichtungen als vorteilhaft erwiesen. Des weiteren ist es möglich, dass eine Baueinheit nicht nur eine Verbindungsbrücke und zwei davon abstehende Anschlüsse aufweist, sondern mehrere Verbindungsbrücken mit mehreren davon abstehenden Anschlüssen. Diese können gemeinsam in Gehäuse von Schalteinrichtungen eingebaut werden, beispielsweise durch vorgenanntes Einspritzen. Anschließend können Stege zwischen den Verbindungsbrücken abgetrennt werden zur elektrischen Trennung und Vereinzelung. Die Stege können beispielsweise bei den fertigen Gehäusen der Schalteinrichtungen durchgestanzt werden, insbesondere durch das Material der Gehäuse selber hindurch. So ist beispielsweise bei verschiedenen Grundausführungen von Schalteinrichtungen ein Konfigurieren durch unterschiedliches Durchstanzen und somit Trennen von Verbindungsbrücken oder Anschlüssen möglich.A unit consisting of a connecting bridge with connections can be integrated in one Housing of the switching devices can be installed. The The unit is firmly seated in the switchgear. For this has one Injection into a plastic housing for the switching devices as advantageous proved. Furthermore, it is possible that a unit is not only one connecting bridge and two protruding connections but has several connecting bridges with several of them protruding connections. These can be housed together in Switching devices are installed, for example by the aforementioned Injection. Subsequently, bridges between the connecting bridges are separated for electrical separation and separation. The webs can, for example, in the finished housing Switching devices are punched through, in particular through the material the housing itself. For example, with various Basic versions of switchgear configuration through different punching and thus separating connecting bridges or connections possible.
Bevorzugt werden solche Schalteinrichtungen verwendet, die eine einzige Betätigungseinrichtung für sämtliche Kontakte aufweisen. Die Betätigungsbewegung kann jeweils die gleiche sein, beispielsweise ein Drehen. Allerdings wird dabei in unterschiedlichen Drehstellungen jeweils ein unterschiedlicher Kontakt geschlossen.Such switching devices are preferably used, the one Have actuating device for all contacts. The actuation movement can be the same in each case, for example turning. However, this is done in different rotational positions a different contact closed.
Diese und weitere Merkmale gehen außer aus den Ansprüchen auch aus der Beschreibung und der Zeichnung hervor, wobei die einzelnen Merkmale jeweils für sich allein oder zu mehreren in Form von Unterkombinationen bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung und auf anderen Gebieten verwirklicht sein und vorteilhafte sowie für sich schutzfähige Ausführungen darstellen können, für die hier Schutz beansprucht wird. Die Unterteilung der Anmeldung in einzelne Abschnitte sowie Zwischen-Überschriften beschränken die unter diesen gemachten Aussagen nicht in ihrer Allgemeingültigkeit.These and other features go beyond the claims from the description and the drawing, the individual Features individually or in groups in the form of sub-combinations in one embodiment of the invention and others Areas to be realized and advantageous as well as protectable Can represent designs for which protection is claimed here becomes. The division of the application into individual sections and subheadings limit the statements made under these not in their generality.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert. Dabei zeigt Fig. 1 eine schematische Ansicht einer Anordnung bzw. eines Aufbaus von zwei Geräteschaltern mit Verbindungsbrücken dazwischen.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below. 1 shows a schematic View of an arrangement or structure of two device switches with connecting bridges in between.
In Fig. 1 ist eine Anordnung 11 gemäß der Erfindung dargestellt. Zwei
Geräteschalter 12a und 12b sind in Ansicht von unten dargestellt. Sie
weisen jeweils ein Gehäuse 14a und 14b auf. Von diesen Gehäusen 14
sind jeweils die Bodenunterseiten 15a und 15b zu sehen.1 shows an
Zur Veranschaulichung der dargestellten Geräteschalter 12 sind die
Steuerwalzen 17a und 17b dargestellt, welche im Inneren der Geräteschalter
12 verlaufen. Auf den Steuerwalzen 17 sind auf bekannte Art
und Weise Nockenscheiben 18 angeordnet. Mit diesen können Schaltvorgänge
zwischen Kontakten der Geräteschalter 12 ausgelöst werden.
Dies ist beispielsweise aus der EP 977 224 A bekannt. To illustrate the illustrated
Die nicht dargestellten Kontakte im Inneren der Geräteschalter 12 sind
auf bekannte Art und Weise an Steckanschlussfahnen 20 verbunden
bzw. daran befestigt. Die Steckanschlussfahnen 20 stehen jeweils über
die Bodenunterseiten 15a und 15a über und ragen in Fig. 1 aus der Zeichenebene
heraus. Wie zu erkennen, sind sämtliche Steckanschlussfahnen
20 parallel zueinander. Insbesondere sind sie in einem bestimmten
Rastermaß angeordnet. Dies ermöglicht vorgegebene Abstände oder
Anschlussschemata der Geräteschalter.The contacts, not shown, inside the
Zwischen den beiden Geräteschaltern 12a und 12b verlaufen vier Verbindungsbrücken
22. Damit können jeweils Kontakte und/oder Steckanschlussfahnen
20 der Geräteschalter verbunden werden. So verbindet
beispielsweise die Verbindungsbrücke 22 ganz links das jeweils ganz
links angeordnete Paar von Steckanschlussfahnen 20, welche in Fig. 1
links oben am Geräteschalter 12a und links unten am Geräteschalter
12b sitzt. Die Verbindungsbrücken können allgemein entweder parallel
oder senkrecht zur Zeichenebene flach sein.Four connecting bridges run between the two
Während drei der Verbindungsbrücken 22 geradlinig verlaufen, weist die
zweite Verbindungsbrücke von links jeweils Abbiegungen 24 auf. Diese
Abbiegungen 24 sind derart ausgebildet, dass eine an sich längere Verbindungsbrücke
22 auf kürzen Abstand ausgelegt ist.While three of the connecting
Des weiteren sind die Abbiegungen 24 an beiden Seiten einer Steckanschlussfahne
26 angeordnet, welche an der Verbindungsbrücke 22 sitzt.
Dazu kann die Steckanschlussfahne 26 entweder einstückig mit der
Verbindungsbrücke ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise aus einer einzigen
Metallplatine heraus. Alternativ kann sie mit der Verbindungsbrücke 22
verbunden werden, beispielsweise durch Punktschweißen. Auffällig und
von Bedeutung ist, dass die Steckanschlussfahne 26 zum einen in die
gleiche Richtung weist wie die übrigen Steckanschlussfahnen 20. So
kann mit einer einzigen Bewegungsrichtung für die Steckverbindungen
ein Anschluss hergestellt werden. Des weiteren verläuft die Steckanschlussfahne
26 parallel zu den übrigen Steckanschlussfahnen 20.Furthermore, the
Die Steckanschlussfahne 26 bzw. die diese tragende Verbindungsbrücke

12a und 12b. Des weiteren könnte sie zum Abgriff eines Schaltsignals
dienen, welches gleichzeitig oder abhängig von den Geräteschaltern
ausgelöst werden kann.The
