Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anschlussvorrichtung für elektrische Leiter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a connection device for electrical conductors according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Anschlussvorrichtungen sind in verschiedenen Ausführungsformen bekannt, so aus der gattungsgemäßen DE 295 00 614.Such connection devices are known in various embodiments, so from the generic DE 295 00 614th

Anschlussvorrichtungen der gattungsgemäßen Art haben sich an sich bewährt. Zum Anschluss feindrähtiger Leiter und zum Vereinfachen des Entschaltens der Anschlussvorrichtungen ist es danach bekannt, den Anschlussvorrichtungen Betätigungsvorrichtungen zuzuordnen, die von Hand oder mit einem Betätigungswerkzeug betätigt werden und dazu dienen, auf die Druckfeder einzuwirken, um die Klemmstelle zu öffnen, um einen besonders feindrähtigen oder mehrdrähtigen Leiter in die Klemmstelle einzuführen und Leiter wieder aus der Klemmstelle lösen und entnehmen zu können.Connection devices of the generic type have proven themselves. In order to connect finely stranded conductors and to simplify the switching off of the connecting devices, it is known to assign the connecting devices actuating devices, which are operated by hand or with an actuating tool and serve to act on the compression spring to open the nip to a particularly fine-stranded or Insert stranded conductor into the clamping point and remove the conductor from the clamping point and remove it.

Die Erfindung hat vor diesem Hintergrund die Aufgabe, mit einfachen konstruktiven Mitteln das Beschalten von Anschlussvorrichtungen der gattungsgemäßen Art auch mit feindrähtigen Leitern sowie auch das Entschalten unter beengten Raum- und Platzverhältnissen weiter zu erleichtern.Against this background, the invention has the task of further simplifying the wiring of connection devices of the generic type with fine-wire conductors as well as the switching-off in confined space and space conditions with simple structural means.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 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.

Nach dem Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 ist die Betätigungsvorrichtung als Betätigungsdrücker ausgebildet, der an seiner Außenfläche mit wenigstens zwei oder mehr vorzugsweise separaten - d.h. zueinander beabstandeten - Ansatzbereichen zum Ansetzen eines Betätigungswerkzeuges versehen ist.According to the characterizing part of claim 1, the actuating device is designed as an actuating push-button, which on its outer surface is provided with at least two or more preferably separate ones - i.e. spaced apart - approach areas for attaching an actuating tool is provided.

Das derart ausgebildete drehbare Betätigungsdrücker eignet sich bevorzugt zur Betätigung von Direktsteckanschlüssen auch unter beengten Platzverhältnissen, da das Betätigungswerkzeug an den verschiedenen Stellen aus verschiedenen Richtungen am Betätigungsdrücker ansetzbar ist, um die Klemmfeder zu öffnen. Der Betätigungsdrücker ist besonders zum Öffnen von Federn geeignet, die auf den Leiter als Druckfedern einwirken und den Leiter an einer Klemmstelle drückend gegen eine Stromschiene pressen.The thus formed rotatable actuating handle is preferably suitable for the operation of direct plug connections even in confined spaces, since the actuating tool can be attached to the various positions on the actuating lever to open the clamping spring. The actuating push-button is particularly suitable for opening springs, which act on the conductor as compression springs and press the conductor at a clamping point pressing against a busbar.

Besonders bevorzugt ist der Betätigungsdrücker schwenkbar im Isolierstoffgehäuse gelagert. Durch die drehbare Auslegung ergibt sich der Vorteil eines nur geringen Raum- und Bewegungsbedarfes des Betätigungsdrückers und die Möglichkeit, den Betätigungsdrücker aufgrund der wenigstens zwei Ansatzbereiche aus verschiedenen Richtungen - z.B. aus zueinander rechtwinkligen Richtungen - zu betätigen, was insbesondere unter beengten Verhältnissen, z.B. im Schaltschrank, von großem Vorteil ist. Insbesondere sind die zwei Ansatzbereiche für Betätigungswerkzeuge zueinander winklig und/oder an zueinander winkligen Bereichen des Betätigungsdrückers ausgebildet.Particularly preferably, the actuating lever is pivotally mounted in the insulating housing. Due to the rotatable design, there is the advantage of only a small space and movement requirement of the actuating lever and the possibility of the actuating lever due to the at least two neck portions from different directions -. from mutually perpendicular directions - to operate, which in particular in cramped conditions, e.g. in the control cabinet, is of great advantage. In particular, the two attachment areas for actuation tools are formed at an angle to one another and / or at mutually angled areas of the actuation lever.

Es bietet sich als besonders praktisch handhabbare Variante an, die zwei Ansatzbereiche als schlitzartige Ausnehmungen zum Ansetzen eines Schraubendrehers auszulegen und die zwei schlitzartigen Ausnehmungen winklig zueinander am Betätigungsdrücker anzuordnen.It lends itself to be particularly practical to handle variant, interpret the two neck portions as slit-like recesses for applying a screwdriver and the two slot-like recesses angularly to each other on the actuating handle.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher beschrieben, wobei auch weitere Vorteile der Erfindung deutlich werden. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Isolierstoffgehäuse 1, in das eine Anschlussvorrichtung 2 eingesetzt ist.Fig. 1 shows an insulating material 1, in which a connection device 2 is inserted.

Das Isolierstoffgehäuse 1 kann als Teil eines beliebigen elektrischen Gerätes ausgebildet sein. So kann das Gehäuse beispielsweise ein Teil einer Anschlussklemme, insbesondere einer Reihenklemme, sein oder ein Teil eines übergeordneten Gerätes, z. B. eines Schützes oder dgl.. Besonders interessant ist auch die Anwendung als Anschlussklemme in einem kompakten Isolierstoffgehäuse zur Aus- und Nachrüstung bestehender elektrischer Geräte mit Direktsteckanschlüssen.The insulating housing 1 may be formed as part of any electrical device. For example, the housing may be part of a terminal, in particular a terminal, or a part of a higher-level device, for. As a contactor or the like. Particularly interesting is the application as a terminal in a compact insulating housing for the removal and retrofitting of existing electrical equipment with direct plug connections.

Das Isolierstoffgehäuse 1 weist einen Freiraum 3 auf, in den die Anschlussvorrichtung 2 eingesetzt ist. Die Anschlussvorrichtung weist wiederum einen U-förmigen Metallkäfig 4 auf, in dem eine V-förmige Klemmfeder 5 angeordnet ist (siehe auch Fig. 2 und 3).The insulating housing 1 has a free space 3, in which the connecting device 2 is inserted. The connecting device in turn has a U-shaped metal cage 4, in which a V-shaped clamping spring 5 is arranged (see also Figs. 2 and 3).

Die V-förmige Klemmfeder 5 ist mit ihrem ersten Schenkel - dem Befestigungsschenkel 6 - an einer ersten Innenwand 7 des Metallkäfigs 4 angeordnet.The V-shaped clamping spring 5 is arranged with its first leg - the fastening leg 6 - on a first inner wall 7 of the metal cage 4.

Der andere freie Schenkel dient als Klemmschenkel 8, um einen Leiter 13 (Fig,. 2) gegen eine Stromschiene 9 zu drücken, die hier auch als Wand 10 des Metallkäfigs 4 ausgebildet ist, welche der Innenwand 7 für den Befestigungsschenkel 6 gegenüberliegt. Die Stromschiene könnte auch als separate Schiene an der Wand 10 ausgebildet sein (hier nicht dargestellt).The other free leg serves as a clamping leg 8 to press a conductor 13 (Fig, 2) against a busbar 9, which is also formed here as a wall 10 of the metal cage 4, which is opposite to the inner wall 7 for the mounting leg 6. The busbar could also be designed as a separate rail on the wall 10 (not shown here).

Derart wird zwischen dem freien Ende des Klemmschenkels 8 und der Stromschiene 9 - die auch als Teil des Metallkäfigs 4 ausgebildet sein kann - eine Klemmstelle 11 zum Festklemmen eines Leiters 13 ausgebildet. Der Leiter 13 ist auf einfache Weise in Direktstecktechnik werkzeugfrei durch eine oberhalb der Klemmstelle 11 liegende Öffnung 14 im Isolierstoffgehäuse in diese Klemmstelle 11 einführbar. Handelt es sich um einen Leiter mit einem genügend großen Querschnitt, drückt er den Klemmschenkel 8 der Klemmfeder 5 beim Einschieben beiseite und wird dann in der Klemmstelle 11 durch das freie Ende 12 des Klemmschenkels 8 gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Ausziehen aus der Klemmstelle 11 gesichert.Such a clamping point 11 is formed for clamping a conductor 13 between the free end of the clamping leg 8 and the busbar 9 - which may also be formed as part of the metal cage 4. The conductor 13 is easily in Direct insertion technology tool-free by a lying above the nip 11 opening 14 in the insulating housing in this nip 11 insertable. If it is a conductor with a sufficiently large cross-section, he presses the clamping leg 8 of the clamping spring 5 during insertion aside and is then secured in the nip 11 by the free end 12 of the clamping leg 8 against unintentional withdrawal from the nip 11.

Um daneben auch besonders feindrähtige Leiter mit kleinerem Querschnitt in die Klemmstelle 11 einführen zu können und um die Klemmstelle zum Herausziehen von Leitern auf einfache Weise zu öffnen, ist der Anschlussvorrichtung eine Betätigungseinrichtung zum Öffnen der Klemmstelle durch Bewegen des Klemmschenkel der Klemmfeder 5 zugeordnet. Diese Betätigungseinrichtung ist als Betätigungsdrücker 15 ausgebildet, der verschwenkbar am Isolierstoffgehäuse 1 gelagert ist.In order to be able to introduce especially fine-stranded conductors with a smaller cross section in the terminal point 11 and to open the terminal point for pulling conductors in a simple manner, the connecting device is an actuator for opening the nip assigned by moving the clamping leg of the clamping spring 5. This actuating device is designed as an actuating pushbutton 15, which is mounted pivotably on the insulating housing 1.

Der Betätigungsdrücker 15 besteht aus Isolierstoff und weist mehrere, hier zwei, separate und hier voneinander beabstandete Ansatzbereiche 16, 17 für ein Betätigungswerkzeug wie einen Schraubendreher 18a, b auf.The actuating push-button 15 is made of insulating material and has a plurality of, here two, separate and here mutually spaced neck portions 16, 17 for an operating tool such as a screwdriver 18 a, b.

Die beiden Ansatzbereiche 16, 17 sind hier derart am Betätigungsdrücker 15 verteilt, dass das Betätigungswerkzeug, insbesondere der Schraubendreher 18a, b, in unterschiedlichen Winkelstellungen (insbesondere von 60° bis 120°) relativ zur Einführrichtung X des Leiters (Fig. 2) in die Klemmstelle 11 an den Betätigungsdrücker 15 angesetzt werden kann.The two projection areas 16, 17 are here distributed on the actuating pushbutton 15 such that the actuating tool, in particular the screwdriver 18a, b, in different angular positions (in particular from 60 ° to 120 °) relative to the insertion direction X of the conductor (FIG. 2) into the Clamping point 11 can be attached to the actuating lever 15.

Vorzugsweise ist es möglich, den Schraubendreher aus zwei um ca. 90° voneinander verschiedenen Positionen anzusetzen, so parallel zur Leitereinführrichtung X oder aus einer um 90° zu dieser Richtung winkligen Richtung Y. Dies wird den meisten Einbausituationen gerecht.Preferably, it is possible to set the screwdriver from two different positions by about 90 ° from each other, so parallel to the conductor insertion X or from an angle of 90 ° to this direction Y. This will meet most installation situations.

Der Betätigungsdrücker 15 weist eine Art L-Form auf, wobei der eine Schenkel 19 des L als Betätigungsschenkel auf die Klemmfeder 5 einwirkt und der andere Schenkel 20 relativ nahe zur V- bzw. U-förmigen Biegung 21 der Klemmfeder 5 an beidseits ausgebildeten Lagerzapfen 23 drehbar am Isolierstoffgehäuse 1 gelagert ist.The actuating lever 15 has a kind of L-shape, wherein the one leg 19 of the L acting as an actuating leg on the clamping spring 5 and the other leg 20 relatively close to the V or U-shaped bend 21 of the clamping spring 5 on both sides formed bearing pin 23rd is rotatably mounted on the insulating housing 1.

Hierzu weist das Isolierstoffgehäuse Lagerausnehmungen 22 auf, die derart bemessen und ausgelegt sind, dass die Lagerzapfen 23 am Betätigungsdrücker 15 werkzeugfrei durch Verrasten federnd im Isolierstoffgehäuse 1 gehalten sind. Der erste Schenkel ist an zwei verschiedenen Seiten mit den Ansatzbereichen (Ausnehmungen) für die Schraubendreher 18 versehen.For this purpose, the Isolierstoffgehäuse bearing recesses 22 which are dimensioned and designed so that the bearing pin 23 on the actuating handle 15 without tools are held resiliently in the insulating housing 1 by latching. The first leg is provided on two different sides with the approach areas (recesses) for the screwdriver 18.

Weitere seitlich vorkragende Vorsprünge, insbesondere weitere Zapfen 25, 26, sind so ausgelegt, dass sie im Zusammenwirken mit dem Isolierstoffgehäuse 1 eine Drehbewegungsbegrenzungseinrichtung ausbilden, die eine Begrenzung der möglichen Drehbewegung des Betätigungsdrückers 15 bewirkt, so dass die Klemmfeder 5 nicht versehentlich überdehnbar ist.Further laterally projecting projections, in particular further pins 25, 26, are designed so that they form a Drehbewegungsbegrenzungseinrichtung in cooperation with the insulating material 1, which causes a limitation of the possible rotational movement of the actuating lever 15, so that the clamping spring 5 is not accidentally overstretched.

Ergänzend/Alternativ kann durch einen vorkragenden Lappen 27 am Metallkäfig ein Anschlag für den Klemmschenkel 8 realisiert werden.In addition / alternatively, a stop for the clamping leg 8 can be realized by a protruding tab 27 on the metal cage.

Die Figuren veranschaulichen auch, dass zwei (oder auch mehr) der Anschlussvorrichtungen 2 direkt zueinander benachbart an einem Isolierstoffgehäuse 1 ausgebildet werden können. Hierbei wirken sich wiederum die schmale Bauart und der geringe Raumbedarf der Direktsteckvorrichtung und es Betätigungsdrückers 15 positiv aus.The figures also illustrate that two (or even more) of the connection devices 2 can be formed directly adjacent to one another on an insulating material housing 1. Here, in turn, the narrow design and the low space requirement of the direct plug-in device and actuation lever 15 have a positive effect.
