Description

Die vorliegenden Erfindung betrifft ein Kennzeichnungselement für ein erstes Installationsgerät zur Kennzeichnung einer Demontage des ersten Installationsgeräts von einem zweiten Installationsgerät mit einem Basisabschnitt, der an einer Au-ßenwand des ersten Installationsgeräts anbringbar und bei der Montage der beiden Installationsgeräte in eine Ausnehmung des zweiten Installationsgeräts einführbar ist, und einem Kennzeichnungsabschnitt, der mit dem Basisabschnitt verbunden ist. Darüber hinaus betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Kennzeichnung einer Montage eines ersten Installationsgeräts an ein zweites Installationsgerät.The present invention relates to an identification element for a first installation device for identifying a disassembly of the first installation device of a second installation device with a base portion which is attachable to an outer wall of the first installation device and insertable during assembly of the two installation devices in a recess of the second installation device , and an identification section connected to the base section. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for identifying a mounting of a first installation device to a second installation device.

Reiheneinbaugeräte werden vielfach zu Gerätekombinationen zusammengebaut. So ist es üblich, am jeweiligen Aufstellungsort eine Fehlerstromeinheit an einen Leitungsschutzschalter zu montieren.-Generell können die Reiheneinbaugeräte sowohl elektrisch als auch mechanisch miteinander verbunden sein.Modular devices are often assembled to device combinations. So it is customary to mount a fault current unit to a circuit breaker at the respective site. -In general, the DIN rail mounted devices can be connected to each other both electrically and mechanically.

Gemäß der Gerätevorschrift "EN 61009-1 Anhang G Nr. G.4.1" ist die Geräteausführung bei Kombigeräten, die aus jeweils einem Fehlerschutzschalter und einem Leitungsschutzschalter bestehen, so zu gestalten, dass nach der Demontage der Geräte ein sichtbarer Schaden erkennbar ist.According to the device regulation "EN 61009-1 Annex G No. G.4.1", the device design of combination devices consisting of a respective fault circuit breaker and a circuit breaker must be designed in such a way that visible damage can be detected after dismantling the devices.

Lösungen hierzu sind in den Druckschriften EP 1 069 660 A1, WO 95/21455 und WO 95/00139 beschrieben. Dabei werden sogenannte Halteklammern zur Montage der Fehlerstromeinheit an den Leitungsschutzschalter verwendet. Nach der Montage können die beiden Reiheneinbaugeräte voneinander nur durch Aufbrechen der Klammer demontiert werden. Dabei ist eine gebrochene Hälfte der Halteklammer unverlierbar an der Fehlerstromeinheit bzw. dem FI-Teil befestigt. Dieses verbleibende und beschädigte Teil dient dazu, eine bereits montierte FI-Einheit zu erkennen.Solutions for this purpose are described in the publications EP 1 069 660 A1, WO 95/21455 and WO 95/00139. In this case, so-called retaining clips are used for mounting the residual current unit to the circuit breaker. After assembly, the two DIN rail mounted devices can only be dismantled from each other by breaking the clamp. In this case, a broken half of the retaining clip is captively attached to the residual current unit or the FI part. This remaining and damaged Part serves to detect an already installed FI unit.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine kostengünstigere Lösung zur Demontageerkennung bei Installationsgeräten bzw. Reiheneinbaugeräten vorzuschlagen.The object of the present invention is to propose a cost-effective solution for disassembly detection in installation devices or DIN rail mounted devices.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch ein Kennzeichnungselement für ein erstes Installationsgerät zur Kennzeichnung einer Demontage des ersten Installationsgeräts von einem zweiten Installationsgerät mit einem Basisabschnitt, der an einer Außenwand des ersten Installationsgeräts anbringbar und bei der Montage der beiden Installationsgeräte in eine Ausnehmung des zweiten Installationsgeräts einführbar ist, und einem Kennzeichnungsabschnitt, der mit dem Basisabschnitt verbunden ist, wobei der Kennzeichnungsabschnitt an dem Basisabschnitt derart angeordnet ist, dass er beim Montieren der beiden Installationsgeräte aneinander zumindest teilweise vom Basisabschnitt abgetrennt oder beschädigt wird.According to the invention this object is achieved by an identification element for a first installation device for identifying a disassembly of the first installation device of a second installation device with a base portion which is attachable to an outer wall of the first installation device and during installation of the two installation devices in a recess of the second installation device inserted , and an identification portion connected to the base portion, wherein the identification portion is disposed on the base portion so as to be at least partially separated or damaged from the base portion when mounting the two installation devices to each other.

Darüber hinaus ist gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung vorgesehen ein Verfahren zur Kennzeichnung einer Montage eines ersten Installationsgeräts an ein zweites Installationsgerät durch Einführen eines Kennzeichnungselements, das an das erste Installationsgerät angebracht ist, in eine Ausnehmung des zweiten Installationsgeräts bei der Montage der beiden Installationsgeräte aneinander, wobei beim Einführen des Kennzeichnungselements in die Ausnehmung das Kennzeichnungselement zumindest teilweise abgetrennt oder beschädigt wird.In addition, according to the present invention, a method for identifying a mounting of a first installation device to a second installation device by inserting an identification element, which is attached to the first installation device, in a recess of the second installation device during assembly of the two installation devices to each other, wherein the Insertion of the marking element into the recess, the marking element is at least partially separated or damaged.

Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, eine Demontage indirekt durch eine vorhergehende Montage erkennbar zu machen. Daher wird dem Reiheneinbaugerät ein sichtbarer Schaden nicht unmittelbar beim Demontieren der Geräte zugefügt, sondern ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand bereits beim Montiervorgang. Dies bedeutet, dass der Fügevorgang nahezu unbehindert ausgeführt werden kann.The invention is based on the idea to make disassembly indirectly recognizable by a previous assembly. Therefore, the series device a visible damage is not added immediately when dismantling the equipment, but already without additional effort during the mounting process. This means that the joining process can be performed almost unhindered.

Vorzugsweise ist bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Kennzeichnungselement der Basisabschnitt mit einem Schnappelement versehen, so dass das Kennzeichnungselement in eine Aussparung am ersten Installationsgerät einschnappbar ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Kennzeichnungselement unmittelbar vor der Montage in das Installationsgerät eingebracht werden kann, so dass es nicht bei der Lagerung der Installationsgeräte oder bei deren Transport vorab beschädigt wird.Preferably, in the marking element according to the invention, the base portion is provided with a snap element, so that the identification element can be snapped into a recess on the first installation device. This has the advantage that the marking element can be introduced into the installation device immediately prior to assembly, so that it is not damaged in advance during storage of the installation equipment or during their transport.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Kennzeichnungsabschnitt in der Art eines Widerhakens an dem Basisabschnitt angebracht. Die Widerhakenform des Kennzeichnungsabschnitts behindert den Montagevorgang praktisch nicht. Darüber hinaus erweist sich diese Form insbesondere bei der zusätzlichen Funktion des Kennzeichnungselements als Zentrierhilfe als besonders günstig.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the marking portion is attached to the base portion in the manner of a barb. The barb shape of the marking portion practically does not hinder the assembly process. In addition, this form proves to be particularly favorable for the additional function of the marking element as centering.

Zwischen dem Basisabschnitt und dem Kennzeichnungsabschnitt kann eine Sollbruchstelle angeordnet sein. Diese Sollbruchstelle erleichtert das Abtrennen des Kennzeichnungsabschnitts von dem Basisabschnitt.A predetermined breaking point can be arranged between the base section and the marking section. This predetermined breaking point facilitates the separation of the marking portion from the base portion.

Darüber hinaus kann an dem Basisabschnitt ein Vorsprung angebracht sein, über den der Kennzeichnungsabschnitt beim Abtrennen gedreht wird. Durch diesen Vorsprung kann gewährleistet werden, dass der Kennzeichnungsabschnitt auch tatsächlich vom Basisabschnitt abreißt, auch wenn das Kunststoffmaterial des Kennzeichnungselements verhältnismäßig elastisch ist.In addition, a projection may be attached to the base portion, over which the identification portion is rotated upon detachment. By this projection can be ensured that the marking portion actually breaks off from the base portion, even if the plastic material of the marking element is relatively elastic.

Wie bereits erwähnt wurde, kann das Kennzeichnungselement auch als Zentrierhilfe verwendet werden. Hierzu ist es günstig, wenn zumindest eine Seitenfläche des Kennzeichnungselements abgeschrägt ist, so dass es leichter in die Ausnehmung des zweiten Installationsgeräts eingeführt werden kann. Vorteilhaft kann ferner sein, wenn die Kanten des Kennzeichnungselements abgerundet sind.As already mentioned, the marking element can also be used as a centering aid. For this purpose, it is favorable if at least one side surface of the marking element is chamfered, so that it can be more easily inserted into the recess of the second installation device. It may also be advantageous if the edges of the marking element are rounded.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kennzeichnungselement kann aber, wie oben bereits angedeutet wurde, auch fest mit dem Installationsgerät verbunden sein, indem das Gehäuse des Installationsgeräts mit dem Basisabschnitt des Kennzeichnungselements einteilig verbunden oder identisch ist. Falls das Gehäuse mit dem Basisabschnitt identisch ist, ist der Kennzeichnungsabschnitt des Kennzeichnungselements unmittelbar an dem Gehäuse angeordnet. Diese Form des Installationsgeräts hat den Vorteil, dass das Kennzeichnungselement nicht gesondert montiert werden muss.However, as already indicated above, the identification element according to the invention can also be fixedly connected to the installation device in that the housing of the installation device is integrally connected or identical to the base section of the identification element. If the housing is identical to the base portion, the label portion of the label member is disposed directly on the housing. This form of installation device has the advantage that the marking element does not need to be mounted separately.

In vorteilhafter Weise lässt sich ein Fehlerschutzschaltgerät mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Kennzeichnungselement ausstatten, so dass die oben genannte Gerätenorm erfüllt wird.Advantageously, a fault protection switching device can be equipped with the identification element according to the invention, so that the device standard mentioned above is met.

Die vorliegende Erfindung wird nun anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert, in denen zeigen:

FIG 1
eine perspektivische Darstellung von zwei aneinander zu montierende Installationsgeräten;
FIG 2
zwei perspektivische Ansichten eines erfindungsgemäßen Kennzeichnungselements aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln; und
FIG 3

The present invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1
a perspective view of two to be mounted together installation equipment;
FIG. 2
two perspective views of an identification element according to the invention from different angles; and
FIG. 3
an identification element mounted on an error protection switching device.

Die nachfolgend näher beschriebenen Ausführungsformen stellen bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der vorliegenden Erfindung dar.The embodiments described in more detail below represent preferred embodiments of the present invention.

In FIG 1 ist ein Fehlerstromschutzschaltgerät FI und Leitungsschutzschaltgerät LS perspektivisch in einem Zustand vor einer Montage dargestellt. An einer Seitenwand des Fehlerstromschutzschalters FI, die dem Leitungsschutzschalter LS zugewandt ist, ist ein Kunststoffteil 1 angebracht, das zwei Funktionen erfüllt. Zum einen dient es als Zentrierhilfe, welche ein gegenseitiges Verrutschen der Geräte zusammen mit einem weiteren Zapfen 2 verhindert. Zum anderen dient das Kunststoffteil als Demontageerkennung, da es einen abstehenden Teil 3 aufweist, der leicht abgebrochen werden kann. Die mechanische Verbindung des Fehlerstromschutzschalters FI mit dem Leitungsschutzschalter LS ist hier nicht weiter von Belang.In Figure 1, a residual current device FI and line protection switching device LS is shown in perspective in a state prior to assembly. On a side wall of the residual current circuit breaker FI, the circuit breaker LS facing, a plastic part 1 is attached, which fulfills two functions. On the one hand, it serves as a centering aid, which prevents a mutual slippage of the devices together with another pin 2. On the other hand, the plastic part serves as a disassembly detection, since it has a protruding part 3, which can be easily broken off. The mechanical connection of the residual current circuit breaker FI with the circuit breaker LS is not relevant here.

Das Kunststoffteil 1 kann sowohl als unverlierbares Einzelteil in die Seitenwand des Fehlerstromschutzschalters FI eingesteckt werden als auch direkt am Gehäuseteil mit angeformt werden. Wird das Kunststoffteil bzw. Kennzeichnungselement 1 in die Seitenwand 4 des Fehlerstromschutzschalters FI eingesteckt, so muss es entsprechend arretiert werden. Dies erfolgt mittels eines hakenförmig ausgestalteten Schnappelements 5, das am Basisteil 6 des Kunststoffteils 1 angeformt ist, wie dies in FIG 2 dargestellt ist.The plastic part 1 can be inserted as a captive item in the side wall of the residual current circuit breaker FI as well as molded directly on the housing part. If the plastic part or marking element 1 is inserted into the side wall 4 of the residual current circuit breaker FI, it must be locked accordingly. This is done by means of a hook-shaped configured snap element 5, which is integrally formed on the base part 6 of the plastic part 1, as shown in FIG.

Für die Zentrierfunktion ist das Kennzeichnungselement bzw. Kunststoffteil 1 an mehreren Seitenflächen 7, 8, 9 an dem dem Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3 zugewandten Ende des Basisabschnitts 6 mit Schrägen versehen. Die Schrägen verjüngen das Basisteil 6 zu dem Ende hin, an dem der Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3 angeformt ist.For the centering function, the marking element or plastic part 1 is provided with bevels on a plurality of side faces 7, 8, 9 at the end of the base section 6 facing the marking section 3. The bevels taper the base part 6 towards the end where the marking portion 3 is formed.

Die Höhe H1 des Kunststoffteils 1 ist in seinem unverjüngten Abschnitt so bemessen, dass sie in etwa einer Höhe H2 einer in dem Gehäuse des Leitungsschutzschalters LS ausgeformten Öffnung 10 entspricht. Die Breite B1 des Basisabschnitts 6 in dem Bereich, in dem er in die Öffnung 10 des Leitungsschutzschalters LS eingeschoben wird, und die Breite B2 am äußeren Ende des Kennzeichnungsabschnitts 3 ist so ausgelegt, dass ihre Summe B1 + B2 in etwa die Breite B3 der Öffnung 10 im Leitungsschutzschalter LS erreichen.The height H1 of the plastic part 1 is dimensioned in its non-tapered section so that it corresponds approximately to a height H2 of an opening 10 formed in the housing of the circuit breaker LS. The width B1 of the base portion 6 in the region where it is inserted into the opening 10 of the circuit breaker LS, and the width B2 at the outer end of the identification portion 3 is designed so that its sum B1 + B2 is approximately the width B3 of the opening 10 in the circuit breaker LS reach.

Beim Fügen der FI-Einheit an den LS-Teil wird der abstehende Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3 an einen Vorsprung 11 angepresst und beginnt an einer vorgesehenen Kerbe 12 an der Verbindungsstelle zwischen dem Basisabschnitt und dem Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3 einzureißen. Der Vorsprung 11 verläuft an dem Basisabschnitt 6 parallel zu der Fügestelle von Basisteil 6 und Kennzeichnungsteil 3 bzw. parallel zu der Kerbe 12. Er ist dem Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3 zugewandt und dient als Dreh- bzw. Kipplinie für den Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3.When joining the FI unit to the LS part, the protruding marking portion 3 is pressed against a protrusion 11 and starts to tear at an intended notch 12 at the joint between the base portion and the marking portion 3. The projection 11 extends at the base portion 6 parallel to the joint of the base part 6 and marking part 3 or parallel to the notch 12. It faces the marking portion 3 and serves as a turning or tilting line for the marking portion. 3

Beim weiteren Fügevorgang wird der Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3 über die Kante des Vorsprungs 11 gedreht und bewirkt ein Abreißen der zuvor eingerissenen Stelle. Der so abgelöste Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3 verbleibt beim montierten Gerät in der Tasche bzw. Öffnung 10 des LS-Teils und kann erst bei der Demontage der beiden Teile herausfallen. Am fehlenden Kennzeichnungsabschnitt 3 lässt sich dann das bereits einmal montierte Gerät erkennen. Im vorliegenden Fall ist der Fehlerstromschutzschalter FI somit entsprechend der Norm nach der Demontage sichtbar beschädigt.In the further joining operation of the marking portion 3 is rotated over the edge of the projection 11 and causes a tearing of the previously torn place. The thus detached identification portion 3 remains in the mounted device in the pocket or opening 10 of the LS part and can only fall out during disassembly of the two parts. At the missing marking section 3 can then recognize the already assembled device. In the present case, the fault current circuit breaker FI is thus visibly damaged according to the standard after disassembly.

Alternativ kann beispielsweise auch vorgesehen sein, dass eine Spitze des Kennzeichnungselements, die zunächst in die Verlängerung des Basisabschnitts orientiert ist, beim Montieren in der Öffnung 10 derart umgelenkt wird, dass sie abbricht, so dass auch eine Beschädigung im geforderten Maß vorliegt.Alternatively, for example, be provided that a tip of the marking element, which is initially oriented in the extension of the base portion is deflected when mounting in the opening 10 such that it breaks off, so that there is damage to the required extent.
