Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Anschlußklemme mit einem Anschlußklemmengehäuse, in dem übereinander verlaufende Stromschienen zur Verbindung von auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Anschlußklemmengehäuses angeordneten Leiteranschlüssen montiert sind, welche, in Längsrichtung der Stromschienen betrachtet, seitlich zueinander versetzt angeordnet sind, wobei die Stromschienen miteinander durch ein elektrisches Bauteil verbindbar sind.The invention relates to an electrical terminal with a terminal housing in which superposed busbars for connecting arranged on opposite sides of the terminal housing conductor terminals are mounted, which, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the busbars, are laterally offset from each other, wherein the busbars with each other by an electrical component are connectable.

Die bekannte elektrische Anschlußklemme, von der die Erfindung ausgeht, ist eine mehrstöckige Reihenklemme, wie sie bspw. im Katalog "Reihenklemmen Clipline 2002" der Firma Phoenix Contact in der linken Spalte auf der Seite 44 beschrieben ist. Die bekannte Mehrstockklemme weist ein Anschlußklemmengehäuse aus Kunststoff auf, in dem stockwerkartig, übereinander Stromschienen mit endseitig verbundenen Leiteranschlüssen montiert sind. Die Leiteranschlüsse sind als Buchsen zur Aufnahme von Leitern ausgeführt, welche über vorgesehene Schraubanschlüsse festklemmbar sind. Zum Einschieben und Fixieren von elektrischen Leitern sind auf der Schmalseite des Klemmengehäuses Gehäuse-Öffnungen vorgesehen, oberhalb dieser Schraubanschlüsse angeordnet sind.The known electrical terminal, from which the invention proceeds, is a multi-storey terminal block, as described, for example, in the catalog "Terminal Blocks Clipline 2002" Phoenix Contact Company in the left column on page 44. The known multi-level terminal has a terminal housing made of plastic, are mounted in the tower-like, one above the other busbars with end-connected conductor terminals. The conductor connections are designed as sockets for receiving conductors, which can be clamped via provided screw terminals. For insertion and fixing of electrical conductors housing openings are provided on the narrow side of the terminal housing, are arranged above this screw terminals.

Die untere und die darüber verlaufende obere Stromschiene mit ihren Leiteranschlüssen sind, in Längsrichtung der Stromschienen betrachtet, seitlich zueinander versetzt angeordnet.The lower and the overlying upper busbar with their conductor terminals are, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the busbars, laterally offset from one another.

Deswegen verläuft auch ein in den oberen Leiteranschluß eingeführter Leiter seitlich versetzt zum Schraubanschluß des darunter angeordneten Leiteranschlußes. Hieraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass die unteren Schraubanschlüsse stets frei zugänglich sind.For this reason, a conductor introduced into the upper conductor connection also extends laterally offset from the screw connection of the conductor connection arranged underneath. This results in the advantage that the lower screw connections are always freely accessible.

Aus der DE 90 06 085 U1 ist eine Klemme bekannt, bei der man den Schraubenanschlusskörper in der oberen Ebene gegenüber den Schraubenanschlusskörpern in der unteren Ebene seitlich versetzt, also einen seitlichen Versatz in der vertikalen Hauptebene realisiert hat.From the DE 90 06 085 U1 is known a terminal in which the screw connection body in the upper plane relative to the screw connection bodies in the lower level laterally offset, that is realized a lateral offset in the vertical main plane.

In der EP 1 130 684 A1 werden verschiedene Ausgestaltungen einer Brücke für eine elektrische Etagenklemme dargestellt. Die untere Stromschiene der elektrischen Etagenklemme ist nach oben gekrümmt. Diese Ausbildung ist bei der bekannten Etagenklemme deshalb vorgesehen, um die unterhalb der unteren Stromschiene angeordnete Stützstruktur des Gehäuses zu ermöglichen.In the EP 1 130 684 A1 Various embodiments of a bridge for an electrical terminal block are shown. The lower busbar of the electrical terminal block is curved upwards. This training is therefore provided in the known floor terminal to allow the arranged below the lower bus bar support structure of the housing.

Die DE 195 33 992 C1 zeigt ähnlich der vorgenannten Veröffentlichung ebenfalls einen Brücker für eine elektrische Etagenklemme, der für das Einstecken in zwei übereinander angeordnete Stromschienen ausgebildet ist.The DE 195 33 992 C1 similar to the aforementioned publication also shows a jumper for an electrical terminal block, which is designed for insertion into two superimposed busbars.

Die aus der EP 0 784 355 A1 bekannte Verbindungsanordnung weist eine Ausführungsform auf, bei der zwei übereinander angeordnete Stromschienen mittels eines Verbindungsstücks elektrisch leitend verbunden sind.The from the EP 0 784 355 A1 Known connection arrangement has an embodiment in which two busbars arranged one above the other are electrically conductively connected by means of a connecting piece.

Aus der DE 83 11 219 U1 geht eine weitere übliche Anschlussklemme hervor.From the DE 83 11 219 U1 goes out another common terminal.

Der Klemmenblock aus der DE 28 33 313 B1 betrifft entsprechend dem seitlichen Klemmenreihenversatz gekröpfte Halteplatten, die an die Klemmenblockenden angerastet werden können, um so Klemmenblöcke aus Klemmen des gleichen Typs aufbauen zu können.The terminal block from the DE 28 33 313 B1 refers to cranked retaining plates according to the lateral terminal row offset, which can be latched to the terminal block ends, so as to be able to build terminal blocks of terminals of the same type.

Als Nachteil bei der bekannten Klemme hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass der Versatz der übereinander angeordneten Stromschienen dazu führt, dass standardmäßig geradlinig ausgeführte Potentialverbinder nicht zur elektrischen Verbindung zwischen den Stromschienen genutzt werden können.As a disadvantage of the known terminal, however, has shown that the offset of the superposed busbars leads to standard rectilinear designed potential connector can not be used for electrical connection between the busbars.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine elektrische Anschlußklemme der eingangs genannten Art mit, in Längsrichtung der Stromschienen betrachtet, seitlich versetzt zueinander angeordneten Leiteranschlüssen derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass übereinander angeordnete Stromschienen in besonders einfacher Weise, insbesondere nachträglich, miteinander verbunden werden können.The present invention is therefore based on the object, an electrical terminal of the type mentioned, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the busbars, laterally offset from one another arranged conductor connections such that superimposed busbars in a particularly simple manner, in particular subsequently, can be connected together.

Diese Aufgabe ist mit der eingangs beschriebenen Klemme dadurch gelöst, dass mindestens eine Stromschiene in ihrem Verlauf zwischen den Leiteranschlüssen nach links oder rechts gekrümmt ausgebildet ist. Diese Lösung bietet den Vorteil, dass als Potentialverbinder zwischen zwei übereinander angeordneten Stromschienen ungebogene Bleche einfachster Geometrie verwendet werden können. Zur Potentialverbindung können alle derzeit bekanten Verbindungstechniken, insbesondere Löt- und Schraubtechniken, eingesetzt werden.This object is achieved with the terminal described above in that at least one bus bar is curved in its course between the conductor terminals to the left or right. This solution has the advantage that can be used as a potential connector between two superposed busbars unbent sheets of simplest geometry. For potential connection all currently known connection techniques, in particular soldering and screwing techniques can be used.

Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Klemme sieht vor, dass das Anschlußklemmengehäuse und die Stromschienen zueinander vertikal fluchtende Stecköffnungen aufweisen.
Hierdurch wird der Vorteil erreicht, dass einerseits lösbare Brücker zur elektrischen Verbindung von nebeneinander angeordneten Klemmen eingesetzt werden können. Darüber hinaus ist es bei dieser Ausführung besonders vorteilhaft, dass eine nachträgliche Potentialverbindung und Prüfmöglichkeit zwischen den übereinander verlaufenden Stromschienen einer Klemme ermöglicht wird, da der Potentialverbinder vorzugsweise lösbar über die Stecköffnungen des Anschlußklemmengehäuses in die Stecköffnungen der Stromschienen einschiebbar ist.A preferred embodiment of the electrical terminal according to the invention provides that the terminal housing and the busbars have mutually vertically aligned insertion openings.
As a result, the advantage is achieved that on the one hand releasable bridge for the electrical connection of adjacent terminals can be used. In addition, it is particularly advantageous in this embodiment that a subsequent potential connection and test option between the superposed busbars of a terminal is made possible because the potential connector preferably releasably via the insertion openings of the Terminal housing in the plug openings of the busbars can be inserted.

In einer weiteren Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre ist vorgesehen, dass mindestens eine Stromschiene in ihrem Mittenbereich gekrümmt ausgeführt ist. Bei den üblicher Weise parallel verlaufenden und bezogen auf ihre Längs- und Querrichtung mittig angeordneten Stromschienen ist hierdurch sichergestellt, dass ein standardmäßig geradlinig ausgeführter Potentialverbinder die beiden Stromschienen in ihrem Mittenbereich zwischen den Leiteranschlüssen kontaktiert. Hierdurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass der Bauraum zwischen den beiden Leiteranschlüssen klein ausgeführt werden kann.
Im Einzelnen gibt es eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Anschlußklemme auszugestalten und weiterzubilden. Dazu wird verwiesen auf die vom Patentanspruch 1 abhängigen Unteransprüche sowie auf die in der Beschreibung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung.In a further embodiment of the teaching according to the invention it is provided that at least one bus bar is curved in its central region. In the usual way, parallel running and with respect to their longitudinal and transverse direction centrally arranged busbars is thereby ensured that a standard rectilinear executed potential connector contacts the two busbars in its central region between the conductor terminals. This results in the advantage that the space between the two conductor terminals can be made small.
In particular, there are a variety of ways to design and develop the electrical terminal according to the invention. Reference is made to the dependent claims of claim 1 dependent claims and to the embodiments illustrated in the description in conjunction with the drawings.

Fig. 1 bis 4 zeigen als elektrische Anschlußklemme (1), eine Reihenklemme mit einem Anschlußklemmengehäuse (2) aus Kunststoff. Die Reihenklemme ist doppelstöckig ausgeführt und weist zur Verbindung von auf gegenüberliegenden Schmalseiten (3) des Klemmengehäuses (2) angeordneten Leiteranschlüssen (4, 5) zwei übereinander angeordnete Stromschienen (6, 7) mit endseitig elektrisch kontaktierten Leiteranschlüssen (4, 5) auf. Als Leiteranschlüsse (4, 5) sind in dieser Ausführung buchsenförmig ausgestaltete Körper mit Schraubanschlüssen (8, 9) gewählt. Selbstverständlich können alternativ hierzu auch alle übrigen bekanten Leiteranschlußtechniken verwendet werden. In die Buchsenbohrungen können über die auf der Schmalseite (3) des Klemmengehäuses (2) vorgesehene Öffnungen (11, 12) Leiter (nicht dargestellt) eingeschoben werden, welche dann in bekannter Weise durch über die mit 13, 14 bezeichneten Bohrungen zugänglichen Schraubenanschlüsse (8, 9) sicher mit den Stromschienen (6, 7) elektrisch verbunden und in ihrer Position fixiert werden können. Fig. 1 to 4 show as an electrical terminal (1), a terminal block with a terminal housing (2) made of plastic. The terminal block is designed with two floors and has for connection of on opposite narrow sides (3) of the terminal housing (2) arranged conductor terminals (4, 5) two superposed busbars (6, 7) with end electrically contacted conductor terminals (4, 5). As a conductor terminals (4, 5) bush-shaped body with screw connections (8, 9) are selected in this embodiment. Of course, as an alternative, all other known conductor connection techniques can be used. In the bush holes For example, conductors (not shown) can be inserted via the openings (11, 12) provided on the narrow side (3) of the terminal housing (2), which conductors are then accessible in a known manner by screw terminals (8, 9) accessible via the bores designated by 13, 14. safely electrically connected to the busbars (6, 7) and can be fixed in position.

Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, sind die Leiteranschlüsse (4, 5) der beiden Stromschienen (6, 7) sowie die zugehörigen Öffnungen (11, 12) des Klemmengehäuses (2), in Längsrichtung der parallel verlaufenden oberen und unteren Stromschiene (6, 7) betrachtet, seitlich versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Auch die Stromschienen (6,7) sind endseitig, in ihrer Längsrichtung betrachtet, versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Der Mittenbereich (7.1) der unteren Stromschiene (7) ist in seiner Längsrichtung zur Seite gekrümmt. Die Krümmung ist in Art eines Versatzes ausgebildet. Er ist zur Seite der mit 15 bezeichneten Gehäusewand geführt (s. Fig. 3). Vorzugsweise fluchten in einem zentralen Abschnitt (7.1 a) des Mittenbereichs (7.1) der Stromschienen (6, 7) ihre in Längsrichtung gedachten vertikalen Symmetrieebenen miteinander. Bei der vorliegenden Ausführung stimmen die Stromschienen (6, 7) in ihrer Breite überein, so dass auch ihre insbesondere in Fig. 5 gezeigten Stromschienenkanten (28, 29) in dem zentralen Abschnitt (7.1 a) miteinander in einer nicht dargestellten vertikalen Ebene fluchten und den gleichen Abstand zur vertikalen Symmetrieebene aufweisen. Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass die Krümmung der Stromschiene (7) nicht zwingend, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, über ihre gesamte Breite ausgebildet ist. Es ist bspw. denkbar, dass die Stromschiene (7) im Mittenbereich (7.1) gemäß Fig. 1 bezogen auf ihre Längsrichtung einen Versatz aufweist, wobei eine Stromschienenkante entsprechend dem Versatz in Richtung einer Gehäusewand verläuft, während die gegenüberliegende Stromschienenkante ungekrümmt also in Längsrichtung geradlinig geführt ist.As Fig. 2 shows, the conductor terminals (4, 5) of the two bus bars (6, 7) and the associated openings (11, 12) of the terminal housing (2), viewed in the longitudinal direction of the parallel upper and lower busbar (6, 7), the side staggered to each other. The busbars (6,7) are end, viewed in their longitudinal direction, offset from one another. The central region (7.1) of the lower busbar (7) is curved in its longitudinal direction to the side. The curvature is formed in the manner of an offset. He is led to the side of the designated housing wall 15 (s. Fig. 3 ). Preferably, in a central portion (7.1 a) of the central region (7.1) of the busbars (6, 7) aligned with each other in the longitudinal direction imaginary vertical planes of symmetry. In the present embodiment, the busbars (6, 7) coincide in their width, so that their particular in Fig. 5 shown busbar edges (28, 29) in the central portion (7.1 a) are aligned with each other in a vertical plane, not shown, and have the same distance from the vertical plane of symmetry. It should be noted that the curvature of the busbar (7) is not mandatory, as in Fig. 1 shown formed over its entire width. It is, for example, conceivable that the busbar (7) in the middle region (7.1) according to Fig. 1 with respect to its longitudinal direction has an offset, wherein a bus bar edge corresponding to the offset in the direction of a housing wall, while the opposite busbar edge is thus guided in an uncurved longitudinal direction in a straight line.

Im Mittenbereich (7.1) der unteren Stromschiene (7) weist die Gehäusewand (15) eine Ausbuchtung (24) in Art eines Schachtes mit trapezförmigem Querschnitt auf. Diese Ausbuchtung (24) bietet Bauraum und Volumen zur Aufnahme von elektrischen, insbesondere voluminösen, Bauteilen.In the central region (7.1) of the lower busbar (7), the housing wall (15) has a bulge (24) in the manner of a shaft with a trapezoidal cross-section. This bulge (24) offers space and volume for receiving electrical, especially voluminous, components.

Die Stromschienen (6, 7) stehen über ein elektrisches Bauteil in elektrischer Verbindung. Typische elektrische Bauteile sind bspw. Dioden und Leucht- Anzeigen zur Signalisierung der Spannungsstärke. Vorzugsweise wird als elektrisches Bauteil der Anschlussklemme (1) ein Potentialverbinder (16) gemäß der Ausführungen nach Fig. 1 und 4, der zumindest teilweise aus einem elektrisch leitenden Flachmaterial besteht.The busbars (6, 7) are connected via an electrical component in electrical connection. Typical electrical components are, for example, diodes and light indicators for signaling the voltage level. Preferably, as an electrical component of the terminal (1) a potential connector (16) according to the embodiments according to Fig. 1 and 4 at least partially made of an electrically conductive sheet material.

Als Potentialverbinder (16) ist gemäß Fig. 4 ein in seiner Längsrichtung geradlinig verlaufendes Blech eingesetzt, welches die beiden Stromschienen (6, 7) in ihren Mittenbereich (7.1, 7.1a) kontaktiert. Zur elektrischen Kontaktierung des Potentialverbinders (16) können alle denkbaren elektrischen Verbindungsmöglichkeiten wie Löten, Schrauben, Klemmen verwendet werden.As potential connector (16) is according to Fig. 4 a sheet extending in a straight line in the longitudinal direction is used, which contacts the two busbars (6, 7) in their middle region (7.1, 7.1a). For electrical contacting of the potential connector (16) all conceivable electrical connection options such as soldering, screws, terminals can be used.

In den gezeigten Ausführungen (s. insbesondere Fig. 1 und Fig. 4) sind die Potentialverbinder (16) über Klemmverbindungen mit den Stromschienen (6, 7) verbunden. Die Klemmverbindungen sind über vertikal fluchtende Stecköffnunden (17, 18) zwischen den Stromschienen (6, 7) ausgebildet (s. Fig. 5), in die der Potentialverbinder (16) der Ausführung mit gabelförmig ausgebildeten Spreizschenkeln (19) eingreift. Als vertikal fluchtende Stecköffnungen (17, 18) sollen hier Stecköffnungen (17, 18) verstanden, welche auf einer zu den mit 20, 21 bezeichneten und in Fig. 5 dargestellten Stromschienenflächen lotrecht verlaufenden Gerade (nicht dargestellt) angeordnet sind.In the embodiments shown (see in particular Fig. 1 and Fig. 4 ), the potential connectors (16) via terminal connections to the busbars (6, 7) are connected. The terminal connections are formed via vertically aligned plug-in opening (17, 18) between the busbars (6, 7) (s. Fig. 5 ), in which the potential connector (16) of the embodiment with fork-shaped expansion legs (19) engages. As vertically aligned plug openings (17, 18) should be understood here plug openings (17, 18), which on one of the designated 20, 21 and in Fig. 5 shown busbar surfaces perpendicular straight (not shown) are arranged.

Damit nach Montage einer Reihenklemme auf eine Tragschiene (25), wie bspw. in Fig. 4 dargestellt, eine Potentialverbindung und Prüfmöglichkeit zwischen den Stromschienen (6, 7) einfach realisierbar sind, weist das Anschlußklemmengehäuse (2) gemäß Fig. 1 bis 3 von oben zugängliche Stecköffnungen (23) auf, die mit den Stecköffnungen (17, 18) der Stromschienen (6, 7) vertikal fluchten.So after mounting a terminal on a mounting rail (25), such as in Fig. 4 shown, a potential connection and test option between the busbars (6, 7) are easy to implement, has the terminal housing (2) according to Fig. 1 to 3 from above accessible plug-in openings (23) which are vertically aligned with the insertion openings (17, 18) of the busbars (6, 7).

Neben den in Fig. 1 gezeigten, lösbar eingesteckten Potentialverbinder (16) kann selbstverständlich auch ein Brücker (26) in die vorgesehenen Stecköffnungen (17, 18) eingreifen und somit den elektrischen Kontakt zu einer bspw. benachbart auf der Tragschiene angeordneten Reihenklemme herstellen (s. Fig. 4). Hierbei sind selbstverständlich sämtliche Verbindungsmöglichkeiten wie zwischen den Stromschienen (6, 7) der Reihenklemme und einer oder mehrerer Stromschienen einer oder mehrerer anderer Reihenklemmen möglich.In addition to the in Fig. 1 shown, releasably inserted potential connector (16) can of course also a jumper (26) in the provided plug openings (17, 18) engage and thus make the electrical contact to an example. Next arranged on the mounting rail terminal block (s. Fig. 4 ). In this case, of course, all possible connections as between the busbars (6, 7) of the terminal and one or more busbars of one or more other terminal blocks possible.

Zur einfachen Verbindung eines Potentialerdungsfußes (27) mit einer oder mehreren Stromschienen (6, 7) ist es auch denkbar, dass der Potentialfuß (27) zu den Stecköffnungen (17, 18, 23) vertikal fluchtende, nicht dargestellte Öffnungen aufweist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass ein elektrisches Bauteil von oben durch die Stecköffnung (23) des Anschlussklemmengehäuses (2) in die Klemme einschiebbar ist, um eine beliebige elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Potentialerdungsfuß (26) und einer oder mehreren Stromschienen (6, 7) herzustellen.For easy connection of a potential grounding foot (27) with one or more busbars (6, 7), it is also conceivable that the potential foot (27) to the insertion openings (17, 18, 23) vertically aligned, not shown openings. This ensures that an electrical component from above through the insertion opening (23) of the terminal housing (2) is inserted into the terminal to produce any electrical connection between the potential grounding foot (26) and one or more busbars (6, 7).
