Definitions
- the invention relates to a cross connector for electrical devices according to the preamble of claim 1.
- electrical devices also includes other devices with electrical conductors, bus modules, bus base modules, connectors and similar devices.
- a generic cross connector is known from EP-A-1 347 535.
- Such a transverse connector is known from EP 0 763 874 B1.
- This cross connector has the advantage that the contacting of the busbars is perpendicular to the mounting direction by means of two surface-to-top spring contacts.
- Another advantage is that endless cross-connections of up to 50 poles can be realized, which can then be individually cut to length. In particular, by the given game this configuration of the cross connector with many poles is possible.
- Another advantage is the possibility of easy detachment of individual poles by hand through preconfigured predetermined breaking points.
- the contacts consist of flat strips, which must be made relatively thin, so that the separation of predetermined breaking points in the simplest way possible.
- the invention has the object to solve the above problems of the prior art.
- the cross jumper invention should allow a particularly safe and durable contact with the busbars and still retain the advantage of tolerance compensation in a contact perpendicular to the mounting direction of the terminal blocks.
- the invention realizes a safer contacting with great spring force and defined contact, which still retains the advantage of a relatively large possible tolerance compensation.
- This tolerance compensation can even be greater than in the prior art, when the angle of rotation of the two contact strips is about 90 °, so that the two contact strips contact the inner edges of the recess in the busbar with their side edges, resulting in that the transverse jumpers build especially narrow in the contact area in the busbars, which in turn means that the possibility of moving the contact strip or the contact plug in the recess of the busbar in the direction of arrangement of the terminal blocks is particularly large.
- Figure 1a shows a cross connector 1 for terminal blocks (not shown here completely), which are here indicated in each case only by adjacent busbars 2, in the contact position or in the engaged position of the cross connector 1 in recesses 3 of the busbars. 2
- the cross connector has a comb-like structure with a comb back 4, from which a plurality of adjacent contact plug 5 extends away, which are each designed to engage in one of the recesses 3 of the adjacent busbar 2.
- Both the comb back 4 and the individual Contact plugs 5 are each formed in two parts, ie the comb back 4 consists of two superimposed comb strips 4a and 4b of conductive material, to each of which a plurality of contact strips 5a, 5b is formed, the two comb strips 4a and 4b as well as the contact strip 5a and 5b are sections directly adjacent to each other to ensure a resilient engagement of the contact plug 5 of two contact strips 5a and 5b in the recesses 3 of the busbar 2.
- the contact strips 5a and 5b are each formed twisted in itself.
- the region of rotation of the contact strips is formed in the region of the contact strips 4a and 4b, which are designed to engage in the recesses 3. This results in a secure resilient contacting of the busbars 2 through the contact plug 5 in the recesses.
- the rotation in the contact strips 5a and 5b or in the contact plug 5 is formed as a 90 ° rotation. This angle of rotation has been found in practice to be particularly secure against contact and thus as a functionally advantageous.
- FIG. 1 b clearly shows that, due to the 90 ° rotation in the region of the engagement of the contact plug 5, it has a width s in the region of the recess 3 of the busbar 2 that is significantly smaller than the width t of the recess.
- the contacting of the busbars in the recesses is in each case perpendicular to the main extension direction X of the transverse bridge (direction of the main extension plane of the ridge back).
- each second contact plug 5 in a first direction of rotation by 95 ° and the other intermediate contact plug 5 also in opposite directions of rotation also to turn 90 °.
- This different angle of rotation also promises a special contact security.
- other "rotation patterns” Thus, for example, it is also conceivable to turn two juxtaposed contact plugs 5 in one direction by 90 ° and at a different angle of rotation, and then the two next contact plugs 5 together in the opposite direction of rotation. It is important that with the different direction of rotation a particularly safe and well protected against fatigue and declining spring force transverse jumper arrangement is realized.
- Figure 2b illustrates that the contact strips 5a and 5b of the contact plug 5 due to the rotation in the region of the free ends only partially abut, such that in each case a transverse side of one of the two contact strips is designed for contacting at one of the two inner edges of the recess 3, the lie transversely to the main extension plane x or to the other level x of the busbars or the associated terminal blocks.
- the two contact strips When engaging in the recesses, the two contact strips are compressed in the region of the recess 3, so that a secure resilient engagement of the transverse jumper 1 is ensured in the busbars.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the surprising possibility of producing the transverse bridge 1 at alternating angles of rotation from two identical strips 6 and 7, which are stamped out of sheet metal and bent during the punching process, and which are then inserted only in FIG be twisted from the position of Figure 3a in the position of Figure 3b are assembled and then only need to be joined together to realize the cross-bridge.
- the jumpers are particularly inexpensive and easy to produce.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Querverbinder für elektrische Geräte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a cross connector for electrical devices according to the preamble of claim 1.
Unter den Begriff elektrische Geräte sind auch andere Geräte mit elektrischen Leitern, Busmodule, Busbasismodule, Steckverbinder und ähnlich Geräte zu fassen.The term electrical devices also includes other devices with electrical conductors, bus modules, bus base modules, connectors and similar devices.
Ein gattungsgemäßer Querverbinder ist aus der EP-A-1 347 535 bekannt.A generic cross connector is known from EP-A-1 347 535.
Bei diesem Querverbinder ist nachteilig, daß er relativ kompliziert aufgebaut ist und daß er sich nicht dazu eignet, ein einfacher Weise auf mehr als zwei Anschlüsse erweitert zu werden.In this cross connector is disadvantageous that it is relatively complicated and that it is not suitable to be extended to more than two ports a simple way.
Ein weiterer Querverbinder ist aus der EP 0 763 874 B1 bekannt.Another cross connector is known from EP 0 763 874 B1.
Ein derartiger Querverbinder ist aus der EP 0 763 874 B1 bekannt. Dieser Querverbinder hat den Vorteil, dass die Kontaktierung der Stromschienen senkrecht zur Anreihrichtung mittels zweier flächig aufeinander liegenden Federkontakte erfolgt.Such a transverse connector is known from EP 0 763 874 B1. This cross connector has the advantage that the contacting of the busbars is perpendicular to the mounting direction by means of two surface-to-top spring contacts.
Der große Vorteil einer derartigen Ausgestaltung und Kontaktierung senkrecht zur Anreihrichtung der Reihenklemmen liegt dabei darin, dass wärmebedingte geometrische Veränderungen der Reihenklemmen und/oder der Stromschienen in unterschiedlichen Klimaten durch das vorhandene Spiel der Federkontakte in der Stromschiene auf einfache Weise kompensiert werden. Hervorzuheben ist auch der Vorteil der hohen Langzeitstabilität unter aggressiven atmosphärischen Umgebungsbedingungen sowie die erzielbare hohe Kontaktsicherheit.The great advantage of such a design and contacting perpendicular to the direction of the terminal blocks lies in the fact that heat-related geometric changes of the terminal blocks and / or the busbars are compensated in different climates by the existing game of spring contacts in the busbar in a simple manner. Also noteworthy is the advantage of high long-term stability under aggressive atmospheric conditions and the achievable high contact reliability.
Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt darin, dass Endlosquerverbindungen von bis zu 50 Polen realisiert werden können, die dann individuell ablängbar ist. Insbesondere durch das gegebene Spiel ist diese Ausgestaltung der Querverbinder mit sehr vielen Polen möglich.Another advantage is that endless cross-connections of up to 50 poles can be realized, which can then be individually cut to length. In particular, by the given game this configuration of the cross connector with many poles is possible.
Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt in der Möglichkeit des einfachen Herauslösens einzelner Pole von Hand durch vorkonfigurierte Sollbruchstellen. Hier wirkt es sich ebenfalls vorteilhaft aus, dass die Kontakte aus flächigen Streifen bestehen, die relativ dünn ausgestaltet werden müssen, so dass das Abtrennen an Sollbruchstellen auf einfachste Weise möglich ist.Another advantage is the possibility of easy detachment of individual poles by hand through preconfigured predetermined breaking points. Here, it also has an advantageous effect that the contacts consist of flat strips, which must be made relatively thin, so that the separation of predetermined breaking points in the simplest way possible.
Aus der DE 44 11 306 C1 ist dagegen ein massiver bauender Querbrücker bekannt, bei dem die Kontaktierung der Ausnehmung in der Stromschiene jeweils in Anreihrichtung der Reihenklemmen erfolgt. Nachteilig ist, dass hier Längenveränderungen, hervorgerufen durch verschiedene Klimate, quasi nicht ausgleichbar sind. Damit bietet sich diese Lösung nur für besonders kurze Querbrücker mit nur wenigen Anschlußsteckern an.From DE 44 11 306 C1, however, a solid transverse bridge bridge is known, in which the contacting of the recess in the busbar is in each case in the direction of arrangement of the terminal blocks. The disadvantage is that length changes, caused by different climates, are virtually unbalanced. Thus, this solution is only suitable for very short jumper with only a few connectors.
Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, die vorstehenden Probleme des Standes der Technik zu lösen. Insbesondere soll der erfindungsgemäße Querbrücker eine besonders sichere und langlebige Kontaktierung der Stromschienen ermöglichen und dennoch den Vorteil des Toleranzausgleiches bei einer Kontaktierung senkrecht zur Anreihrichtung der Reihenklemmen beibehalten.The invention has the object to solve the above problems of the prior art. In particular, the cross jumper invention should allow a particularly safe and durable contact with the busbars and still retain the advantage of tolerance compensation in a contact perpendicular to the mounting direction of the terminal blocks.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruches 1.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.
Damit realisiert die Erfindung eine sicherere Kontaktierung mit großer Federkraft und definierter Kontaktierung, die dennoch den Vorteil eines relativ großen möglichen Toleranzausgleichs beibehält. Dieser Toleranzausgleich kann sogar größer sein als nach dem Stand der Technik, wenn der Verdrehwinkel der beiden Kontaktstreifen bei ca. 90° liegt, so dass die beiden Kontaktstreifen mit ihren Seitenkanten die Innenkanten der Ausnehmung in der Stromschiene kontaktieren, was dazu führt, dass die Querbrücker gerade im Kontaktbereich in den Stromschienen besonders schmal bauen, was wiederum bedeutet, dass die Möglichkeit eines Verschiebens der Kontaktstreifen bzw. des Kontaktsteckers in der Ausnehmung der Stromschiene in der Anreihrichtung der Reihenklemmen besonders groß ist.Thus, the invention realizes a safer contacting with great spring force and defined contact, which still retains the advantage of a relatively large possible tolerance compensation. This tolerance compensation can even be greater than in the prior art, when the angle of rotation of the two contact strips is about 90 °, so that the two contact strips contact the inner edges of the recess in the busbar with their side edges, resulting in that the transverse jumpers build especially narrow in the contact area in the busbars, which in turn means that the possibility of moving the contact strip or the contact plug in the recess of the busbar in the direction of arrangement of the terminal blocks is particularly large.

Figur 1a zeigt einen Querverbinder 1 für Reihenklemmen (hier nicht vollständig dargestellt), wobei diese hier jeweils nur durch nebeneinander liegende Stromschienen 2 angedeutet sind, in der Kontaktstellung bzw. in der Eingriffsstellung des Querverbinders 1 in Ausnehmungen 3 der Stromschienen 2.Figure 1a shows a cross connector 1 for terminal blocks (not shown here completely), which are here indicated in each case only by adjacent busbars 2, in the contact position or in the engaged position of the cross connector 1 in
Der Querverbinder weist einen kammartigen Aufbau mit einem Kammrücken 4 auf, von dem sich eine Mehrzahl nebeneinander liegender Kontaktstecker 5 weg erstreckt, die jeweils zum Eingriff in eine der Ausnehmungen 3 der nebeneinander liegenden Stromschiene 2 ausgelegt sind. Sowohl der Kammrücken 4 als auch die einzelnen Kontaktstecker 5 sind dabei je zweiteilig ausgebildet, d.h. der Kammrücken 4 besteht aus zwei aufeinander liegenden Kammstreifen 4a und 4b aus leitendem Material, an die jeweils eine Mehrzahl von Kontaktstreifen 5a, 5b angeformt ist, wobei die beiden Kammstreifen 4a und 4b ganz sowie auch die Kontaktstreifen 5a und 5b abschnittsweise direkt aufeinander liegen, um einen federnden Eingriff der Kontaktstecker 5 aus zwei Kontaktstreifen 5a und 5b in die Ausnehmungen 3 der Stromschiene 2 zu gewährleisten.The cross connector has a comb-like structure with a comb back 4, from which a plurality of
Die Kontaktstreifen 5a und 5b sind jeweils in sich verdreht ausgebildet. Der Bereich der Verdrehung der Kontaktstreifen ist dabei in dem Bereich der Kontaktstreifen 4a und 4b ausgebildet, die zum Eingriff in die Ausnehmungen 3 ausgelegt sind. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine sichere federnde Kontaktierung der Stromschienen 2 durch die Kontaktstecker 5 in den Ausnehmungen 3.The
Nach Figur 1 bis 4 ist die Verdrehung in den Kontaktstreifen 5a und 5b bzw. im Kontaktstecker 5 als 90°-Drehung ausgebildet. Dieser Drehwinkel hat sich in der Praxis als besonders kontaktierungssicher und somit als funktional vorteilhaft herausgestellt.According to Figure 1 to 4, the rotation in the contact strips 5a and 5b or in the
Figur 1b zeigt deutlich, dass durch die 90°-Drehung im Bereich des Eingriffes des Kontaktsteckers 5 dieser im Bereich der Ausnehmung 3 der Stromschiene 2 eine Breite s aufweist, die deutlich kleiner ist als die Breite t der Ausnehmung. Damit erfolgt die Kontaktierung der Stromschienen in den Ausnehmungen jeweils senkrecht zur Haupterstreckungsrichtung X des Querbrückers (Richtung der Haupterstreckungsebene des Kammrückens).FIG. 1 b clearly shows that, due to the 90 ° rotation in the region of the engagement of the
Auf diese Weise wird einerseits eine sichere Kontaktierung gewährleistet, und sichergestellt, dass die einzelnen Kontaktstecker des Querbrückers mit einer günstigen Toleranz t-s in die Ausnehmung 3 der Stromschienen 2 eingreifen, so dass ein gewisser Spielraum zum Toleranzausgleich, beispielweise infolge von Materialausnehmung oder Schrumpfung besteht, die durch Temperaturschwankungen hervorgerufen werden.In this way, on the one hand ensures a secure contact, and ensures that the individual contact plug of the cross jumper engage with a favorable tolerance ts in the
Dies ist ein großer Vorteil gegenüber Lösungen, bei denen die Ausnehmungen 3 in der Haupterstreckungsebene x des Querbrückers kontaktiert werden, da hier kein Ausgleich möglich ist.This is a great advantage over solutions in which the
Denkbar ist prinzipiell aber auch ein anderer Drehwinkel als 90°, wobei Drehwinkeln zwischen 45° und 135° der Vorzug gegeben wird.In principle, however, another angle of rotation than 90 ° is also conceivable, with angles of rotation between 45 ° and 135 ° being preferred.
Als vorteilhaft hat sich ferner herausgestellt, wenn der Drehwinkel von Kontaktstecker 5 zu Kontaktstecker 5 variiert. Beispielsweise ist nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel in der Figur 1 und 4 vorgesehen, jeden zweiten Kontaktstecker 5 in eine erste Drehrichtung um 95° umzubiegen und die dazwischen liegenden übrigen Kontaktstecker 5 jeweils in entgegengesetztem Drehrichtungssinn ebenfalls um 90° zu verdrehen. Dieser unterschiedliche Drehwinkel verspricht ebenfalls eine besondere Kontaktsicherheit. Denkbar sind auch andere "Drehmuster". So ist es beispielsweise auch denkbar, jeweils zwei nebeneinander liegende Kontaktstecker 5 in eine Richtung um 90° und um einen anderen Drehwinkel zu verdrehen und dann die jeweils zwei nächsten Kontaktstecker 5 gemeinsam in die entgegengesetzte Drehrichtung. Wichtig ist, dass mit dem unterschiedlichen Drehsinn eine besonders sichere auch gegen Ermüdung und nachlassende Federkraft gut geschützte Querbrückeranordnung realisiert wird.It has also been found to be advantageous if the angle of rotation varies from
Figur 2b verdeutlicht, dass die Kontaktstreifen 5a und 5b der Kontaktstecker 5 infolge der Drehung im Bereich der freien Enden nur teilweise aneinanderliegen, derart, dass jeweils eine Querseite von einem der beiden Kontaktstreifen zur Kontaktierung an einer der beiden Innenkanten der Ausnehmung 3 ausgelegt ist, die quer zur Haupterstreckungsebene x bzw. zur anderen Ebene x der Stromschienen bzw. der zugehörigen Reihenklemmen liegen. Beim Eingriff in die Ausnehmungen werden die beiden Kontaktstreifen im Bereich der Ausnehmung 3 zusammengedrückt, so dass ein sicherer federnder Eingriff des Querbrückers 1 in die Stromschienen gewährleistet wird.Figure 2b illustrates that the contact strips 5a and 5b of the
Figur 3 veranschaulicht die überraschende Möglichkeit, den Querbrücker 1 bei alternierenden Drehwinkeln aus zwei identischen aus Blech gestanzten und beim Stanzvorgang in sich gebogenen Streifen 6 und 7 zu fertigen, die sodann lediglich in sich verdreht aus der Position der Figur 3a in Position der Figur 3b zusammengesetzt werden und anschließend nur noch zusammengefügt werden müssen, um den Querbrücker zu realisieren. Trotz der überraschend wirksam federnden Geometrie im Bereich der Ausnehmung 3 der Stromschienen sind damit die Querbrücker besonders kostengünstig und einfach herstellbar.FIG. 3 illustrates the surprising possibility of producing the transverse bridge 1 at alternating angles of rotation from two
