Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical switching device according to claim 1.
  • the invention relates to switching devices, such as contactors motor protection switch, circuit breaker or circuit breaker or the like.
  • switching devices such as contactors motor protection switch, circuit breaker or circuit breaker or the like.
  • programmable switching devices such as programmable logic controllers or programmable relays are contemplated in the scope of the invention.
  • Conventional switching devices such as contactors have input and output side for each pole to be switched on a terminal contact in the form of a fixed contact.
  • the associated fixed contacts are connected or disconnected via a contact bridge driven by a magnetic drive.

  • the US 5 107 396 a switching device with metallic terminal blocks, the clamping screws for load connection cable lugs and directly attached below, with surrounding insulating sleeves outwardly projecting contact angle for auxiliary wire conductor.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a switching device which is optimized with regard to the connection technology. It is intended both to ensure ease of use by the user, and to be more flexible in terms of the variety of connectivity options.
  • each of the connection contacts has first connection means for connecting a first external electrical conductor and at least one of the connection contacts has second connection means for connecting a second electrical conductor the object is achieved in that the first and second connection means and a connection point for device-internal contacting components of a tongue-like contact carrier.
  • the switching device according to the invention realized in a structurally and technologically uncomplicated manner both in a conventional manner formed first connection means and second connection means for additional connection members.
  • connection contact carries a fixed contact leading to the interior of the device (for example, contactors).
  • the first connection means are in the form of conventional erldemman again.
  • Spring clamped terminals e.g., cage spring clamp terminals
  • insulation displacement terminals or other connection means are formed.
  • the additional second connection means are designed as means for the non-positive and / or positive reception of a connection member, in particular in the form of a plug connection or a screw connection.
  • the second connection means are designed as central hole receptacles for connecting members designed as plug contacts.
  • the hole-like recess is closed (hole receiving) or open at the edge (lateral recess) formed as a punched passage, so that around the recess around at least partially tongue-like extensions are formed projecting outwardly around the recess.
  • an additional connection possibility for the externally accessible connection contact is realized structurally simplest way.
  • Other designs, such as a lateral recess of the connecting member or the contact carrier are also possible.
  • the housing made of insulating material optionally has predetermined breaking points in an area above the second connection means, which define an access area which can be produced by breaking out. Also, the access area may originally be free (unlocked).
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic exploded view of the structure of a multi-pole contactor (in this example, 3-pin or 4-pin plus supply connection for the drive coil of the magnetic drive) with a housing 2 made of insulating material, each pole has an incoming and an outgoing terminal contact 4.
  • a multi-pole contactor in this example, 3-pin or 4-pin plus supply connection for the drive coil of the magnetic drive
  • housing 2 made of insulating material
  • the housing 2 of the contactor is in the present case designed in three parts and consists of a base housing part 2a for receiving a magnetic drive, an upper housing part 2b which can be placed on the base housing part 2a and a housing cover 2c. Furthermore, the connection contacts 4 are shown on both sides, which serve for the connection incoming and outgoing the connection lines.
  • the housing 2 may be formed in two parts or even one piece depending on the type of switching device.
  • connection terminals 4b with erklemmanBank the existing cover part 2c would have to be replaced, which then has corresponding access openings for the screw heads instead of openings for the spring clips
  • the illustrated cover part 2c is provided for the terminals 4a with spring clamp connection and has a first row of openings 21 for the connection or the access of first connecting lines 410 with or to first connection means 41 of the connection contact 4a, a second series of (double) openings 22 for the engagement of a tool (eg screwdriver) and a third row of openings 23 or an opening in Shape of an opening slot for the connection of second connecting lines 420 with additional second connection means 42 of the connection contact 4.
  • additional row of openings 23 is closed in a preferred embodiment of the invention in the initial state via a cover part.
  • the opening can be closed by a resealable Dekkelteil via a latching connection or a film hinge.
  • the opening 23 is not resealable by one or more housing portions (e) which can be separated out from the point of weakness and which closes (forms) the later access area to the second connection means 42.
  • connection contact 4a is formed with first connection means 41 in the form of spring clamp connections, while in the alternative embodiment screw clamp connections are arranged instead of the spring clamp connections.
  • connection contact 4 is formed by a tongue-like terminal lug which carries a fixed contact 43 to the interior of the device as a contact carrier, the device means the outside in a conventional manner, the first connection means 41 (as fferklemman say or spring clamp connections) and which in the region between these connection points - preferably formed as a hole receiving - second connection means 42 has.
  • the second connection means 42 are preferably spatially spaced from the first connection means 41 and designed to be self-sufficient in their actuation or connection operation, such that when the first connection means 41 are wired, the second connection means are freely accessible for further wiring and, on the other hand, for wiring the second connection means 42, the first connection means 41 are not actuated (released and secured again).
  • FIG. 2a shows the two in FIG. 1 already shown alternative embodiment of the terminal contacts 4 of the contactor with different first connection means 41 (antklemm or spring clamp connections) and a possible embodiment of the second connection means 42 in the form of a hole receiving.
  • first connection means 41 (antklemm or spring clamp connections)
  • second connection means 42 in the form of a hole receiving.
  • the hole recording and other justify ists- or connection options are conceivable, such as one or more only edge-side groove-like recesses of the terminal contact 4 and der Kunststoffannis ( Fig. 2b ).
  • the plug can be fixed in the hole receptacle with advantage via a non-positive or force-locking connection.
  • the plug can have laterally projecting spring-shaped projections from its in particular oblong and parallelepiped-shaped contacting body ( Fig. 5 ). Furthermore, it is also conceivable, seen in cross-section form the plug-in contact circular, so that it is screwed with its likewise circular in cross-section Kunststofftechnikspian in a correspondingly formed hole receptacle.
  • the hole holder may be equipped with a finished thread or this can only be cut by screwing the plug contact.
  • FIG. 3 shows the hole recording in an enlarged detail.
  • the hole receptacle is preferably formed in the form of a punched passage, so that around the hole receiving up or down directed Druckzurgiabête (8) are formed, thereby increasing the contact surface is formed and thus optimizing the contact is guaranteed.
