Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur leitenden Verbindung zweier elektrischer Anschlüsse mit Stromschienen entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device for the conductive connection of two electrical connections with busbars according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Vorrichtungen weisen Kontaktbrücken mit Kontaktschenkeln auf, die bei Gebrauch unter Druck an den beiden elektrisch miteinander zu verbindenden Anschlüsse mit Stromschienen anliegen. Die Gehäuse können als Isolierstoffgehäuse beliebiger elektrischer Geräte wie Klemmen, Schütze, Leistungsschalter oder dgl. ausgebildet sein.Such devices have contact bridges with contact legs, which abut in use under pressure at the two connections to be electrically connected to each other with busbars. The housings can be designed as Isolierstoffgehäuse any electrical equipment such as terminals, contactors, circuit breaker or the like.

Zur einfachen Montage dieser Kontaktbrücken sind die beiden parallel und mit Abstand zueinander verlaufenden Kontaktschenkel in das Gehäuse eingesteckt, in dem die jeweilige Stromschiene platziert ist, wobei der zugeordnete Kontaktschenkel die Stromschiene kontaktiert.For easy installation of these contact bridges, the two parallel and spaced-apart contact legs are inserted into the housing in which the respective busbar is placed, wherein the associated contact leg contacted the busbar.

Für einen sicheren Halt der Kontaktbrücke bzw. der Kontaktschenkel sind diese im jeweiligen Gehäuse verriegelt durch Form- und/oder Kraftschluss.For a secure hold of the contact bridge or the contact leg these are locked in the respective housing by positive and / or adhesion.

Hierzu sind Verriegelungsmittel vorgesehen, beispielsweise in Form von Blattfedern, deren freie Enden sich derart in den zugeordneten Kontaktschenkel eingraben, dass ein Herausziehen der Kontaktbrücke insgesamt zerstörungsfrei nicht möglich ist.For this purpose, locking means are provided, for example in the form of leaf springs whose free ends dig into the associated contact leg in such a way that pulling out the contact bridge as a whole is not possible in a non-destructive manner.

Diese unter dem Begriff Direktstecktechnik bekannte elektrische Überbrückung zeichnet sich insbesondere durch eine werkzeugfreie Installation aus, da die Kontaktbrücke lediglich in die beiden Gehäuse eingesteckt werden muss, wo sie dann durch die automatische Verrastung gesichert einliegt.This known under the term Direktstecktechnik electrical bridging is characterized in particular by a tool-free installation, since the contact bridge must be inserted only in the two housings, where it then rests secured by the automatic locking.

Allerdings bezieht sich diese werkzeugfreie Handhabung ausschließlich auf die Installation, jedoch nicht auf die Deinstallation. Da die Verriegelungselemente, beispielsweise die genannten Blattfedern, so konzipiert sind, dass die Kontaktbrücke zwar problemlos eingeschoben werden kann, jedoch nicht zur Deinstallation herausgezogen, müssen die Blattfedern mittels eines Werkzeuges, beispielsweise eines Schraubendrehers oder dergleichen aus ihrer Verriegelungsposition gedrückt werden, wozu dieses Werkzeug in eine entsprechende Öffnung des Gehäuses eingesteckt und der zugeordnete Bügel der Blattfeder zur Seite gedrückt wird.However, this tool-free handling applies only to the installation, but not to the uninstall. Since the locking elements, such as the leaf springs mentioned, are designed so that the contact bridge can be inserted easily, but not pulled out for uninstalling, the leaf springs must be pressed by means of a tool, such as a screwdriver or the like from its locking position, including this tool in a corresponding opening of the housing is inserted and the associated bracket of the leaf spring is pushed to the side.

Naturgemäß steht eine solche umständliche Handhabung einer rationellen Arbeitsweise sehr entgegen. Dabei ist noch zu erwähnen, dass, da die Kontaktschenkel üblicherweise gleich lang sind, die Lösung der Verriegelung gleichzeitig erfolgen muss, um die Kontaktbrücke einwandfrei herauszuziehen zu können. Ein solches gleichzeitiges Lösen stellt eine zusätzliche Handhabungsproblematik dar, so dass die bekannte Vorrichtung insgesamt nicht den Forderungen nach einer einfachen und kostengünstigen Montage und Demontage entspricht.Naturally, such a complicated handling of a rational operation is very contrary. It should also be mentioned that, since the contact legs are usually the same length, the solution of the lock must be done simultaneously to properly pull out the contact bridge can. Such a simultaneous release represents an additional handling problem, so that the known device does not generally meet the requirements for a simple and inexpensive assembly and disassembly.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art so weiter zu entwickeln, dass sie einfach und kostengünstig installierbar und deinstallierbar ist.The present invention is therefore based on the object to develop a device of the generic type so that it is easy and inexpensive to install and uninstall.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1.

Danach ist in das Isoliergehäuse wenigstens eine Entriegelungseinrichtung integriert ist, mit der die Verriegelung von zumindest einem oder beiden Kontaktschenkeln lösbar ist.Thereafter, at least one unlocking device is integrated in the insulating housing, with which the locking of at least one or both contact legs is releasable.

Eine in diesem Sinne ausgebildete Vorrichtung erlaubt nicht nur einen werkzeugfreien Direktsteckanschluss, sondern auch ein werkzeugfreies Lösen der Vorrichtung, wodurch sich erhebliche Handhabungsvorteile - vorzugsweise auch die Möglichkeit zur Einhandbedienung - ergeben.A trained in this sense device not only allows a tool-free Direktsteckanschluss, but also a tool-free release of the device, resulting in considerable handling advantages - preferably also the possibility for one-handed operation - result.

Dadurch ist eine Deinstallation in sehr kurzer Zeit und sehr einfach möglich, insbesondere dann, wenn alle Kontaktschenkel gleichzeitig durch eine einzige Entriegelungseinrichtung entriegelt werden.As a result, an uninstall in a very short time and very easy, especially if all contact legs are unlocked simultaneously by a single unlocking.

Hierzu kann die Entriegelungseinrichtung im Sinne eines Bügels ausgebildet sein, der mehrere, jeweils einem Kontaktschenkel zugeordnete Bügellaschen besitzt, die die Verriegelungselemente bei Betätigung außer Eingriff bringen.For this purpose, the unlocking device can be designed in the sense of a bracket, which has a plurality of, each a contact leg associated strap tabs, which bring the locking elements when actuated out of engagement.

Nach einem vorteilhaften Gedanken der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, die Entriegelungeinrichtung unverlierbar am Gehäuse zu halten, wozu an den Bügellaschen Anschläge angeformt sein können, durch die eine Hubbegrenzung des Bügels gegeben ist.According to an advantageous concept of the invention, it is provided to hold the unlocking device captive on the housing, for which purpose stops can be formed on the strap plates, by means of which a stroke limitation of the strap is provided.

Denkbar sind aber auch andere Haltemittel, mit denen das Entriegelungselement, das heißt, der Bügel am Isoliergehäuse gehalten sind.But are also conceivable other holding means with which the unlocking element, that is, the bracket are held on the insulating housing.

Jede Bügellasche ist hinsichtlich ihres Querschnitts so dimensioniert, dass sie ohne Verbiegung das Verriegelungselement aus seiner Verriegelungsposition herausdrücken kann. Dabei ist sie dann, wenn das Verriegelungselement als Blattfeder ausgebildet ist, zweckmäßiger Weise mit einer Auflaufschräge versehen, die ein leichtes Beiseitedrücken der Blattfeder erlaubt.Each strap strap is dimensioned with respect to its cross-section so that it can push the locking element out of its locking position without bending. It is then, when the locking element is designed as a leaf spring, expediently provided with a ramp, which allows a light Beiseitedrücken the leaf spring.

Im übrigen ist die Entriegelungseinrichtung relativ zur Kontaktbrücke verschiebbar. Das heißt, sie ist in dem Isoliergehäuse so gelagert, dass zum Entriegeln die Entriegelungseinrichtung in ihrer Gebrauchsposition verbleibt, unter Freigabe der Kontaktschenkel, bis diese aus dem Wirkbereich der Verriegelungselemente herausgezogen sind.Moreover, the unlocking device is displaceable relative to the contact bridge. That is, it is mounted in the insulating housing so that to unlock the Unlocking remains in its use position, releasing the contact legs, until they are pulled out of the effective range of the locking elements.

Bei einem nachfolgend vollständigen Herausziehen der gesamten Vorrichtung schnappen die Verriegelungselemente wieder in ihre ursprünglichen Position zurück, so dass die Kontaktbrücke erneut eingesteckt werden kann.In a subsequent complete withdrawal of the entire device snap the locking elements back to their original position, so that the contact bridge can be re-inserted.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In den Figuren ist eine Vorrichtung zur leitenden Verbindung zweier in einem Gehäuse 2 angeordneter Anschlüsse mit Stromschienen 1 dargestellt, die mit einer, zwei parallel und mit Abstand zueinander verlaufende Kontaktschenkel 4 aufweisenden leitenden Kontaktbrückeversehen ist, die ggf. mit elektrischen oder elektronischen Bauelementen ausgestattet.In the figures, a device for the conductive connection of two arranged in a housing 2 connections with busbars 1 is shown, which is provided with one, two parallel and spaced-apart contact leg 4 having conductive contact bridge, possibly equipped with electrical or electronic components.

In der Figur 1 ist die Funktionsstellung der Vorrichtung gezeigt, in der die Kontaktschenkel 4 gegen die Stromschienen 1 gedrückt sind, die im übrigen in dem Gehäuse 2 befestigt sind.In the figure 1, the functional position of the device is shown, in which the contact legs 4 are pressed against the busbars 1, which are otherwise fixed in the housing 2.

Jedem Anschluss mit einer Stromschiene ist zum Arretieren des eingeführten Kontaktschenkels 4 ein Verriegelungselement in Form einer gebogenen Blattfeder 6 zugeordnet, die in einem Käfig 3 gehalten ist und mit ihrem freien Ende form- und kraftschlüssig am Kontaktschenkel 4 anliegt und von dieser gegen die Stromschiene 1 gedrückt wird.Each terminal with a bus bar is assigned to lock the inserted contact leg 4, a locking element in the form of a bent leaf spring 6, which is held in a cage 3 and with its free end form and frictionally applied to the contact leg 4 and is pressed by this against the busbar 1.

Dabei ist die Blattfeder 6 so geformt, dass sich dies freie Ende praktisch in den Kontaktschenkel 4 eingräbt, so dass dieser nicht herausgezogen werden kann.In this case, the leaf spring 6 is shaped so that this free end virtually digs into the contact leg 4, so that it can not be pulled out.

Erfindungsgemäß ist in einem die Kontaktbrücke aufnehmenden Isoliergehäuse 5 eine Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 integriert, die brückenartig ausgebildet ist und sich gegenüber liegende, zueinander hier parallele Bügellaschen 8 aufweist. Dabei ist die Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 verschiebbar in dem Isoliergehäuse 5 und damit relativ zu den Kontaktschenkeln 4 bewegbar gelagert.According to the invention, an unlocking device 7 is integrated in an insulating housing 5 receiving the contact bridge, which is designed in the manner of a bridge and has opposite bracket straps 8 that are parallel to one another here. In this case, the unlocking device 7 is displaceably mounted in the insulating housing 5 and thus movable relative to the contact legs 4.

Bei der in der Figur 1 gezeigten Stellung ist die Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 außer Eingriff, das heißt, die Bügellaschen 8 liegen außerhalb der Gehäuse 2.In the position shown in Figure 1, the unlocking device 7 is disengaged, that is, the strap tabs 8 are outside the housing. 2

Zur Entriegelung der Kontaktschenkel 4, um die gesamte Vorrichtung zu demontieren, wird die Entriegelungseinrichtung bzw. werden die insbesondere miteiander brückenartig verbundenen Bügellaschen 8 gleichzeitig in Öffnungen 10 der Gehäuse 2 geschoben, bis sie die zugeordneten Blattfedern 6 kontaktieren und bei einem weiteren Eindrücken der Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 soweit beiseite drücken, dass sie aus ihrer formschlüssigen Kontaktlage mit den Kontaktschenkeln 4 herausgedrückt werden. Dies ist in der Figur 2 zu erkennen.To unlock the contact legs 4 to dismantle the entire device, the unlocking device or the particular bridge-like bridged strap tabs 8 are simultaneously pushed into openings 10 of the housing 2 until they contact the associated leaf springs 6 and a further impressions of the unlocking. 7 Push aside so far that they are pushed out of their positive contact position with the contact legs 4. This can be seen in FIG.

Für ein ungehindertes Niederdrücken der Blattfeder 6 ist die zugeordnete Bügellasche 8 an ihrem freien Ende mit einer Auflaufschräge 11 versehen, die auf der dem Kontaktschenkel 4 gegenüberliegenden Seite angeformt ist.For unimpeded depression of the leaf spring 6, the associated bracket plate 8 is provided at its free end with a ramp 11, which is formed on the opposite side of the contact leg 4.

Zur Verliersicherung der Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 in dem Isoliergehäuse 5 sind im jeweiligen freien Endbereich zumindest einer Bügellasche 8 Anschläge 9 angeformt, und zwar auf der der Auflaufschräge 11 gegenüberliegenden Seite. Diese Anschläge 9 stützen sich in einer herausgezogenen Endstellung der Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 an der Unterseite des Isoliergehäuses 5 ab.For captive locking of the unlocking device 7 in the insulating housing 5 8 stops 9 are formed in the respective free end region of at least one strap flap, on the bevel 11 opposite side. These stops 9 are based in an extended end position of the unlocking device 7 on the underside of the insulating housing 5 from.

In den Figuren 3 und 4 sind weitere Stellungen der Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 dargestellt. So ist in der Figur 3 in Fortrührung der in der Figur 2 gezeigten Demontageposition der Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 gezeigt, dass die Kontaktschenkel 4 aus dem Berührungsbereich mit den Stromschienen 1 herausgezogen sind. In Figur 4 ist die gesamte Vorrichtung außerhalb der Gehäuse 2 dargestellt.In Figures 3 and 4 further positions of the unlocking device 7 are shown. For example, in FIG. 3, in the guide rail of the disassembly position of the unlocking device 7 shown in FIG. 2, it is shown that the contact legs 4 are pulled out of the contact region with the busbars 1. In Figure 4, the entire device outside the housing 2 is shown.

Bei dem in der Figur 5 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist erkennbar, dass die Entriegelungseinrichtung 7 mehrere Bügellaschen 8, konkret drei, aufweist und in gleicher Anzahl Kontaktschenkel 4.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that the unlocking device 7 has a plurality of strap tabs 8, specifically three, and in the same number of contact legs 4.

Zur Verschiebewegbegrenzung der Bügellaschen 8 ist darin ein sich in Verschieberichtung erstreckendes Langloch 12 vorgesehen, in dem ein Zapfen 13 geführt ist, der Bestandteil des Isoliergehäuses 5 ist. Die Länge des Langloches 12 bildet praktisch die Länge des Verschiebeweges.To Verschiebewegbegrenzung the bracket plates 8 therein is a extending in the direction of elongation hole 12 is provided, in which a pin 13 is guided, which is part of the insulating housing 5. The length of the elongated hole 12 practically forms the length of the displacement path.
