Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kombination aus mindestens einem elektromagnetischen Schaltgerät und einer Leiterplatte nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a combination of at least one electromagnetic switching device and a printed circuit board according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der Druckschrift DE 41 15 092 A1 ist die Leiterplattenmontage von elektromagnetischen Schaltgeräten bekannt. Dazu weist das Schaltgerät rückseitig Lötstifte auf, die nach dem Einstecken in entsprechende Bohrungen mit kontaktierenden Leiterflächen der Leiterplatte verlötet werden. Von Nachteil ist, dass bei einem Ausfall des Schaltgerätes nur mit erheblichem Aufwand das ausgefallene Schaltgerät durch ein neues ersetzt werden kann, wobei die Gefahr besteht, die Leiterplatte oder das Schaltgerät zu beschädigen. Von weiterem Nachteil ist die für die übliche Verdrahtung einerseits und für die Verbindung mit Leiterplatten anderseits erforderliche getrennte Bereitstellung von für die jeweilige Verbindungstechnik geeigneten Schaltgeräten.From the publication DE 41 15 092 A1 is the PCB assembly of electromagnetic switching devices known. For this purpose, the switching device on the back of solder pins, which are soldered after insertion into corresponding holes with contacting conductor surfaces of the circuit board. The disadvantage is that in case of failure of the switching device only with considerable effort, the failed switching device can be replaced by a new, with the risk of damaging the circuit board or the switching device. Another disadvantage is the one hand for the usual wiring on the one hand and for the connection with circuit boards required separate provision of suitable for the respective connection technology switching devices.

Aus der Druckschrift EP 0 779 640 A2 ist eine Kombination aus einem elektromagnetischen Schaltgerät und einem busfähigen Verstärkerbaustein bekannt. Das Schaltgerät ist an den senkrecht zur Schaltgerätefront verlaufenden Anschlussseiten mit Anschlussklemmen und mit Spulenklemmen ausgestattet. Die Anschlussklemmen sind im Inneren des Gerätes über Anschlussleiter mit schaltbaren Strombahnen, d.h. mit Leistungs- und Hilfskontakten, verbunden. Der Verstärkerbaustein weist Anschlussstifte auf, die mit den Spulenklemmen, die zur Antriebsspule des Schaltgerätes führen, verbindbar sind. Mit dieser Kombination lässt sich keine Verbindung des Verstärkerbausteins über die Stiftkontakte zu den schaltbaren Strombahnen herstellen. Die Druckschrift WO 81/01092 A1 zeigt ein Schaltgerät mit einer integrierten Leiterplatte, die über Stiftkontakte mit einer weiteren Leiterplatte im Inneren des Schaltgerätes verbunden ist.From the publication EP 0 779 640 A2 is a combination of an electromagnetic switching device and a bus-capable amplifier module known. The switchgear is equipped with connection terminals and coil terminals on the connection sides running perpendicular to the front of the switchgear. The terminals are connected inside the device via connecting conductors with switchable current paths, ie with power and auxiliary contacts. The amplifier module has connection pins that can be connected to the coil terminals that lead to the drive coil of the switching device. With this combination, it is not possible to connect the amplifier module via the pin contacts to the switchable current paths. The publication WO 81/01092 A1 shows a switching device with an integrated circuit board, which is connected via pin contacts with another circuit board inside the switching device.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, den beschädigungsfreien Austausch eines mit einer Leiterplatte verbundenen elektromagnetischen Schaltgerätes mit geringem konstruktiven Aufwand zu ermöglichen.The invention is therefore based on the object to enable the damage-free replacement of an electromagnetic switching device connected to a printed circuit board with little design effort.

Ausgehend von einer Kombination der eingangs genannten Art wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruches gelöst, während den abhängigen Ansprüchen vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung zu entnehmen sind.Based on a combination of the aforementioned type, the object is achieved by the characterizing features of the independent claim, while the dependent claims advantageous developments of the invention can be found.

Durch die Ausstattung mit Anschlussleitern für den Anschluss von sowohl draht- oder schienenförmigen externen Leitern als auch von mit einer Leiterplatte verbundenen Stiftkontakten bildet das damit auch für die übliche Verdrahtung geeignete Schaltgerät die erfindungsgemäße Kombination mit der Leiterplatte. Die Verbindung mit der Leiterplatte ist durch die kraft- und/oder formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen den Kontaktaufnahmen und den Stiftkontakten herstell- und im Bedarfsfall wieder lösbar. So lassen sich zum einen Schaltgeräte-Leiterplatten-Kombinationen mit für die herkömmliche Verdrahtung vorgesehenen Schaltgeräten realisieren und zum anderen die Schaltgeräte problemlos austauschen. Die Ausbildung einer in herkömmlicher Art und Weise ausgebildeten Anschlussklemme (wie Schraubklemme oder Federklemme) sowie der Kontaktaufnahme geschieht in konstruktiv und technologisch unaufwändiger Weise mittels der Anschlussleiter. Der Anschlussleiter geht im Geräteinneren in üblicher Weise in einen festliegenden Schaltkontakt über.By equipping with connecting conductors for the connection of both wire or rail-shaped external conductors as well as connected to a circuit board pin contacts thus suitable for the usual wiring switching device forms the combination according to the invention with the circuit board. The connection to the circuit board is produced by the non-positive and / or positive connection between the contact receptacles and the pin contacts and, if necessary, detachable again. On the one hand, switchgear and PCB combinations with switching devices provided for conventional wiring can be realized and, on the other hand, the switching devices can be easily exchanged.

The connection conductor goes in the device inside in the usual way in a fixed switching contact.

Für eine sichere Herstellung der Kontaktverbindung mit den Stiftkontakten ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Kontaktaufnahmen gegenüber den Anschlussklemmen näher zum Inneren des Schaltgerätes angeordnet sind. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Kontaktaufnahmen als innere Ausnehmungen der Anschlussleiter ausgeführt. Andere Ausführungen der Kontaktaufnahmen, wie seitliche Ausnehmungen in den Anschlussleitem, sind ebenso möglich. Zur Optimierung der Kontaktgabe mit den Stiftkontakten sind die Ausnehmungen als gestanzter Durchzug ausgebildet, sodass die Ausnehmungen randseitig zumindest bereichsweise zungenartig abstehende Erweiterungen aufweisen. Für eine stabile Kontaktgabe sind weiterhin im Bereich der Kontaktaufnahmen verbreiterte Anschlussleiter von Vorteil.For a secure production of the contact connection with the pin contacts, it is advantageous if the contact receptacles relative to the terminals are arranged closer to the interior of the switching device. In a preferred embodiment, the contact receptacles are designed as inner recesses of the connection conductors. Other versions of the contact receptacles, such as lateral recesses in the Anschlussleitem, are also possible. To optimize the contact with the pin contacts, the recesses are formed as a punched passage, so that the recesses have at least partially tongue-like protruding extensions edge. For a stable contact continue widened connection conductors are in the area of contact receptacles advantageous.

Zur Minimierung des Verdrahtungsaufwandes ist die Leiterplatte vorteilhafterweise mit ankommenden und abgehenden Stromanschlüssen ausgestattet. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Leiterplatte mit elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteilen bestückt, sodass sich mit der erfindungsgemäßen Kombination komplexe Steuerungs- und/oder Kommunikationsaufgaben realisieren lassen.To minimize the wiring complexity, the circuit board is advantageously equipped with incoming and outgoing power connections. Advantageously, the circuit board is equipped with electrical and / or electronic components, so that complex control and / or communication tasks can be realized with the combination according to the invention.

Durch eine mit einem einzelnen elektromagnetischen Schaltgerät kombinierte Leiterplatte lässt sich mit minimiertem Verdrahtungsaufwand eine Verbindung zu einem Schutzschalter, insbesondere zur Ausbildung eines schmelzsicherungslosen Motordirektstarters, herstellen. Eine mit zwei elektromagnetischen Schaltgeräten kombinierte Leiterplatte eignet sich mit minimiertem Verdrahtungsaufwand zur Ausbildung von Schützkombinationen bzw. in Verbindung mit einem Schutzschalter zur Ausbildung von komplexen Motorstarterkombinationen, beispielsweise zu Stern-Dreieck-Kombinationen oder Wendeschützen bzw. zu Stern-Dreieck-Startem oder Wendestartern.By a combined with a single electromagnetic switching device circuit board can be connected to a circuit breaker, in particular for the formation of a spark-free motor direct starter, produced with minimal wiring. One combined with two electromagnetic switching devices PCB is suitable with minimized wiring costs for the formation of contactor combinations or in conjunction with a circuit breaker for the formation of complex motor starter combinations, such as star-delta combinations or reversing contactors or star-delta starters or reversing starters.
