Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Reihenklemmenblock, insbesondere zum Aufrasten auf eine Tragschiene, bestehend aus einer Mehrzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Grundklemmen und einer Mehrzahl von Anschlußsteckern, wobei die einzelnen Grundklemmen jeweils ein Klemmengehäuse, mindestens ein darin angeordnetes Leiteranschlußelement und mindestens einen mit dem Leiteranschlußelement elektrisch verbundenen Steckplatz oder mindestens zwei miteinander verbundene Steckplätze aufweisen, wobei die einzelnen Anschlußstecker jeweils ein Steckergehäuse, mindestens ein darin angeordnetes Leiteranschlußelement und einen mit dem Leiteranschlußelement elektrisch verbundenen Steckkontakt aufweisen und wobei die einzelnen Anschlußstecker auf die einzelnen Klemmengehäuse der Grundklemme aufsteckbar sind.The invention relates to an electrical terminal block, in particular for latching onto a mounting rail, consisting of a plurality of juxtaposed base terminals and a plurality of connector plugs, wherein the individual parent terminals each have a terminal housing, at least one conductor terminal arranged therein and at least one electrically connected to the conductor terminal element slot or at least two interconnected slots, wherein the individual connectors each have a connector housing, at least one conductor connection element arranged therein and an electrically connected to the conductor connection element plug contact and wherein the individual connectors are attachable to the individual terminal housing of the basic terminal.

Daneben betrifft die Erfindung noch eine Baueinheit aus mindestens einem Anschlußstecker zum Aufstecken auf eine der Anzahl der Anschlußstecker entsprechende Anzahl von Grundklemmen und zwei auf beiden Seiten des oder der Anschlußstecker angeordneten Befestigungsdeckeln sowie einen Befestigungsdeckel zum Befestigen an einer Seite des Steckergehäuses eines auf das Klemmengehäuse einer Grundklemme aufsteckbaren Anschlußsteckers.In addition, the invention also relates to an assembly of at least one connector for plugging onto one of the number of connectors corresponding number of parent terminals and two arranged on both sides of the connector or the mounting lids and a mounting cover for mounting on one side of the connector housing on the terminal housing of a basic terminal attachable connector.

Elektrische Reihenklemmen sind seit Jahrzehnten bekannt und werden millionenfach bei der Verdrahtung elektrischer Anlagen und Geräte verwendet. Die Reihenklemmen werden meist auf Tragschienen aufgerastet, welche ihrerseits häufig in einer Mehrzahl in einem Schaltschrank angeordnet sind. Die Reihenklemmen sind in der Regel als Verbindungsklemmen ausgebildet, so daß sie mindestens zwei Leiteranschlußelemente aufweisen, die über eine elektrisch leitende Verbindungsschiene, die Stromschiene, elektrisch miteinander verbunden sind. Neben diesem Grundtyp der Reihenklemmen gibt es darüber hinaus eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Reihenklemmentypen, die speziell den jeweiligen Anwendungsfällen angepaßt sind. Als Beispiel seien hier Doppelstock- oder Dreistock-Klemmen sowie Dreileiter- oder Vierleiter-Klemmen genannt, die dann jeweils eine entsprechend größere Anzahl an Leiteranschlußelementen aufweisen.Electrical terminal blocks have been known for decades and are used millions of times in the wiring of electrical systems and equipment. The terminal blocks are usually snapped onto mounting rails, which in turn are often arranged in a plurality in a control cabinet. The terminal blocks are usually designed as connection terminals, so that they have at least two conductor connection elements which are electrically connected to one another via an electrically conductive connection rail, the busbar. In addition to this basic type of terminal blocks, there are also a variety of different types of terminal blocks that are specially adapted to the particular application. As an example, two-level or three-level terminals as well as three-wire or four-wire terminals may be mentioned, which then each have a correspondingly larger number of conductor connection elements.

Daneben gibt es auch elektrische Reihenklemmen, bei denen zumindest ein Leiteranschlußelement durch einen Steckplatz ersetzt ist. Auf diesen Steckplatz kann dann ein Anschlußstecker aufgesteckt werden, der einen entsprechenden Steckkontakt aufweist. Das Leiteranschlußelement zum Anschließen eines elektrischen Leiters ist dabei im Steckergehäuse des Anschlußsteckers angeordnet.In addition, there are also electrical terminal blocks, in which at least one conductor connection element is replaced by a slot. On this slot then a connector can be plugged, which has a corresponding plug contact. The conductor connection element for connecting an electrical conductor is arranged in the connector housing of the connector.

Eine derartige elektrische Reihenklemme ist aus der DE 295 14 711 U1 bekannt Dabei wird die Grundklemme in der Regel auf einer Tragschiene aufgerastet, so daß die Grundklemme den ortsfesten Teil der elektrischen Reihenklemme darstellt. Demgegenüber bildet der Anschlußstecker den ortsveränderlichen Teil der elektrischen Reihenklemme, da dieser auf einfache Art und Weise mittels seines Steckkontakts auf die korrespondierenden Steckplätze der Grundklemme aufgesteckt bzw. von diesen wieder abgezogen werden kann. Während an die Grundklemme bzw. an die in der Grundklemme angeordneten Leiteranschlußelemente die elektrischen Versorgungsleitungen angeschlossen werden, werden an das Leiteranschlußelement im Anschlußstecker die elektrischen Leitungen der einzelnen Verbraucher angeschlossen.Such an electrical terminal is from the DE 295 14 711 U1 In this case, the base clamp is usually snapped onto a mounting rail, so that the base clamp is the stationary part of the electrical terminal. In contrast, the connector forms the ortsveränderlichen part of the electrical terminal, since this can be plugged in a simple manner by means of its plug contact on the corresponding slots of the basic terminal or withdrawn from these again. While the electrical supply lines are connected to the base terminal or to the arranged in the base terminal conductor connection elements, the electrical lines of the individual consumers are connected to the conductor connection element in the connector.

Da die elektrischen Reihenklemmen in der Regel scheibenförmig ausgebildet sind, werden sie meist mit mehreren anderen elektrischen Reihenklemmen zu einem Reihenklemmenblock zusammengesteckt. Bei derartigen bekannten elektrischen Reihenklemmen ist es dann möglich, die Verdrahtungsarbeit und damit auch den Montageaufwand dadurch zu reduzieren, daß die elektrischen Leiter einzelner Verbraucher an eine entsprechende Anzahl von Anschlußsteckern angeschlossen werden. Anschließend müssen die Anschlußstecker, welche zu einem Anschlußsteckerblock zusammengesetzt werden können, nur noch in einen Grundklemmenblock eingesteckt werden, wobei der Grundklemmenblock aus einer entsprechenden Anzahl von Grundklemmen zusammengesetzt worden ist.Since the electrical terminal blocks are generally disc-shaped, they are usually plugged together with several other electrical terminal blocks to a terminal block. In such known electrical terminal blocks, it is then possible to reduce the wiring work and thus also the installation effort in that the electrical conductors of individual consumers are connected to a corresponding number of connection plugs. Subsequently, the connector, which can be assembled to form a connector block, only need to be plugged into a basic terminal block, wherein the basic terminal block has been assembled from a corresponding number of parent terminals.

Als Leiteranschlußelemente werden in Reihenklemmen überwiegend Schraubklemmen oder Federkraftklemmen, insbesondere Zugfederklemmen verwendet. Das Klemmprinzip bei Zugfederklemmen ist ähnlich dem der Schraubtechnik. Während bei der Schraubklemme eine Zughülse durch die Betätigung der Klemmenschraube den Leiter gegen den Strombalken zieht, wird bei der Zugfederklemme diese Aufgabe von der Zugfeder übernommen. Hierzu wird die vorgespannte Zugfeder mit einem Betätigungswerkzeug, beispielsweise einem Schraubendreher geöffnet, so daß der Leiter durch ein Fenster im Federschenkel der Zugfeder in den Anschlußraum eingeführt werden kann. Nach dem Entfernen des Betätigungswerkzeuges wird der Leiter durch die Federkraft der Zugfeder gegen den Strombalken gezogen.As conductor connection elements in terminal blocks predominantly screw terminals or spring terminals, in particular tension spring terminals are used. The clamping principle with tension spring clamps is similar to that of screwdriving technology. While at the screw terminal a tension sleeve pulls the conductor against the current bar by the actuation of the clamping screw, is in the Tension spring clamp this task taken from the tension spring. For this purpose, the prestressed tension spring is opened with an actuating tool, such as a screwdriver, so that the conductor can be inserted through a window in the spring leg of the tension spring in the terminal compartment. After removal of the actuating tool, the conductor is pulled by the spring force of the tension spring against the current bar.

Sowohl bei der Schraubklemme als auch bei der Zugfederklemme muß der elektrische Leiter nach dem Ablängen zunächst abisoliert werden, bevor die Kontaktierung des elektrischen Leiters erfolgen kann. Da für das Abisolieren des elektrischen Leiters Spezialwerkzeug erforderlich ist und da das Abisolieren Zeit in Anspruch nimmt, werden seit vielen Jahren auch elektrische Klemmen verwendet, an die elektrische Leiter ohne vorheriges Abisolieren angeschlossen werden können. Dazu wird der isolierte Leiter in eine Leiteraufnahme im Gehäuse der Klemme eingeführt und anschließend in ein Schneidelement gedrückt, wodurch die Isolierung des Leiters durchtrennt und die Seele des Leiters von dem Schneidelement kontaktiert wird.Both in the screw and the tension spring clamp, the electrical conductor must first be stripped after cutting before the contact of the electrical conductor can take place. Since special tools are required for stripping the electrical conductor and since stripping takes time, electrical terminals have also been used for many years, to which electrical conductors can be connected without prior stripping. For this purpose, the insulated conductor is inserted into a conductor receptacle in the housing of the clamp and then pressed into a cutting element, whereby the insulation of the conductor is severed and the soul of the conductor is contacted by the cutting element.

Zur sicheren mechanischen Verbindung von Anschlußstecker und Grundklemme ist bei der aus der DE 295 14 711 U1 bekannten elektrischen Reihenklemme ein Befestigungselement vorgesehen, daß an der Stirnseite des Anschlußsteckers befestigt ist und hinter einem Gehäusevorsprung an der Stirnseite der Grundklemme eingreift. Bei der bekannten elektrischen Reihenklemme weist die Grundklemme zwar zwei Steckplätze auf, der Anschlußstecker kann jedoch nur auf den äußeren der beiden Steckplätze aufgesteckt werden, da ansonsten der Anschlußstecker nicht mehr mit dem Befestigungselement an der Grundklemme befestigt werden kann.For safe mechanical connection of connector and base terminal is in the from the DE 295 14 711 U1 known electrical terminal a fastener provided that is attached to the front side of the connector and engages behind a housing projection on the front side of the base terminal. In the known electrical terminal, the base terminal has two slots, but the connector can only be plugged onto the outer of the two slots, otherwise the connector can not be attached to the fastener to the base terminal.

Aus der DE 100 45 498 A1 ist ebenfalls eine elektrische Reihenklemme mit einer Grundklemme und zwei Anschlußstecker bekannt, wobei bei dieser Reihenklemme im Klemmengehäuse der Grundklemme zwischen den beiden Steckplätzen ein Verriegelungsschacht ausgebildet ist, so daß der Anschlußstecker auf beiden Steckplätzen mechanisch mit dem Klemmengehäuse der Grundklemme verbindbar ist. Durch die Ausbildung eines Verriegelungsschachts in der Grundklemme ist es somit nicht notwendig, den Anschlußstecker auf den äußeren Steckplatz aufzusetzen, damit das Befestigungselement seitlich an dem Steckergehäuse der Grundklemme einrasten kann.From the DE 100 45 498 A1 is also an electrical terminal with a base terminal and two connectors known, in this terminal in the terminal housing of the base terminal between the two slots a locking shaft is formed so that the connector is mechanically connected to the terminal housing of the base terminal on both slots. Due to the formation of a locking shaft in the base terminal, it is therefore not necessary, the connector put on the outer slot so that the fastener can engage the side of the connector housing of the base terminal.

Auch bei dieser elektrischen Reihenklemme ist jedoch ein separates Befestigungselement erforderlich, welches den Anschlußstecker stirnseitig mit der Grundklemme verbindet. Geht das Befestigungselement verloren, so kann es vorkommen, daß ein Anschlußstecker ungewollt von einer Grundklemme abgezogen wird. Insbesondere dann, wenn mehrere Anschlußstecker zu einem Anschlußsteckerblock zusammengesetzt werden sollen, sind darüber hinaus eine Mehrzahl von Befestigungselementen erforderlich, um eine sichere und dauerhafte mechanische Befestigung der Anschlußstecker an den Grundklemmen zu gewährleisten.However, in this electrical terminal, a separate fastener is required, which connects the connector frontally with the base terminal. If the fastener is lost, it may happen that a connector is unintentionally removed from a base terminal. In particular, when multiple connectors are to be assembled into a connector block, moreover, a plurality of fasteners are required to ensure a secure and permanent mechanical attachment of the connector to the parent terminals.

Aus der US 6,146,213 A ist ein aus mehren Reihenklemmen zusammensteckbarer Reihenklemmenblock bekannt, wobei im Klemmengehäuse der Reihenklemmen jeweils zwei miteinander elektrisch leitend verbundene Leiteranschlußelemente angeordnet sind, die als Federkraftklemmen ausgebildet sind. Sollen die einzelnen Reihenklemmen bzw. der Reihenklemmenblock auf einer Tragschiene befestigt werden, so werden die Reihenklemmen jeweils auf einem Befestigungsfuß aufgesteckt, mittels dem die einzelnen Reihenklemmen auf der Tragschiene aufgerastet werden können. Zusätzlich können die Reihenklemmen bzw. der Reihenklemmenblock durch die Verwendung zweier Endhalter, die jeweils eine Halteklammer und eine Stützplatte aufweisen, gegen seitliches Verrutschen auf der Tragschiene gesichert werden. Alternativ zur Montage auf einer Tragschiene können die einzelnen Reihenklemmen bzw. der Reihenklemmenblock auch direkt mittels zweier Halteklammern auf einer Gehäusewand verschraubt werden.From the US 6,146,213 A a terminal block which can be plugged together from a plurality of terminal blocks is known, wherein in each case two conductor connection elements which are connected to each other in an electrically conductive manner and which are designed as spring-force terminals are arranged in the terminal housing of the terminal blocks. If the individual terminal blocks or the terminal block are to be mounted on a mounting rail, the terminal blocks are each plugged onto a mounting foot, by means of which the individual terminal blocks can be snapped onto the mounting rail. In addition, the terminal blocks and the terminal block can be secured by the use of two end holders, each having a retaining clip and a support plate against lateral slippage on the mounting rail. As an alternative to mounting on a mounting rail, the individual terminal blocks or the terminal block can also be screwed directly by means of two retaining clips on a housing wall.

Die DE 35 08 972 C1 offenbart einen Reihenklemmenblock aus mehreren nebeneinander auf eine Tragschiene aufrastbaren Reihenklemmen, die an ihren Enden von auf der Tragschiene befestigbaren Endwinkeln begrenzt werden. Die Endwinkel - und damit der Reihenklemmenblock - werden über einen außerhalb des von der Tragschiene umschlossenen Bereichs verlaufenden, an beiden Endwinkeln befestigten Sicherungsstift zusammen gehalten.The DE 35 08 972 C1 discloses a terminal block of a plurality of side by side aufrastbaren on a mounting rail terminal blocks, which are limited at their ends by attachable to the support rail end angles. The end angle - and thus the terminal block - are held together via a outside of the area enclosed by the support rail area, secured to both end brackets locking pin.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektrischen Reihenklemmenblock, bestehend aus mehreren Grundklemmen und mehreren Anschlußsteckern derart auszugestalten und weiterzubilden, daß eine sichere mechanische Befestigung der Anschlußstecker mit den Grundklemmen gewährleistet werden kann. Darüber hinaus soll die Anzahl der miteinander verbundenen Grundklemmen sowie die Anzahl der miteinander zu einem Anschlußsteckerblock zusammengefaßten Anschlußstecker frei wählbar seien. Außerdem soll ein Anschlußstecker zur Verfügung gestellt werden, der alleine oder zusammen mit weiteren Anschlußsteckern sicher auf einer Grundklemme bzw. mehreren Grundklemmen befestigt werden kann.The present invention has for its object, an electrical terminal block, consisting of several basic terminals and a plurality of connectors designed and further develop such that a secure mechanical attachment of the connector can be ensured with the basic terminals. In addition, the number of interconnected basic terminals and the number of combined together to form a connector block connector should be freely selectable. In addition, a connector is to be provided, which can be fixed alone or together with other connectors securely on a base terminal or several basic terminals.

Diese Aufgabe ist bei dem eingangs beschriebenen elektrischen Reihenklemmenblock dadurch gelöst, daß auf beiden Seiten der Mehrzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Grundklemmen je eine Befestigungsgrundklemme angeordnet ist, die ein Klemmengehäuse mit mindestens einer Befestigungsvorrichtung aufweist, und daß auf beiden Seiten der Mehrzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Anschlußsteckern je ein Befestigungsdeckel angeordnet ist, der eine zur Befestigungsvorrichtung korrespondierende Befestigungseinrichtung aufweist, die außermittig zur Längsrichtung des Befestigungsdeckels angeordnet ist, so daß die Mehrzahl von Anschlußsteckern über die Befestigungsdeckel mechanisch mit den Befestigungsgrundklemmen - und damit auch mit den Grundklemmen selber - verbindbar sind.This object is achieved in the electrical terminal block described above in that on both sides of the plurality of juxtaposed parent terminals each a mounting base terminal is arranged, which has a terminal housing with at least one fastening device, and that on both sides of the plurality of juxtaposed connectors each one Fastening cover is arranged, which has a fixing device corresponding to the fastening means, which is arranged eccentrically to the longitudinal direction of the mounting cover, so that the plurality of connector plugs on the mounting cover mechanically with the mounting base terminals - and thus with the basic terminals themselves - are connectable.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die mechanische Befestigung der zu einem Anschlußsteckerblock miteinander verbundenen Anschlußstecker nicht mehr an der Stirnseite der Anschlußstecker bzw. der Stirnseite der Grundklemme sondem senkrecht dazu, nämlich durch die Anordnung von zwei Befestigungsgrundklemmen und die Verwendung von zwei Befestigungsdeckeln an den beiden Längsseiten des Grundklemmenblocks bzw. des Anschlußsteckerblocks. Die Mehrzahl der nebeneinander angeordneten Anschlußstecker wird somit seitlich von den Befestigungsdeckeln umschlossen bzw. begrenzt, welche mit Hilfe der Befestigungseinrichtung an den Befestigungsgrundklemmen mechanisch fixiert werden können, die seitlich neben der Mehrzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten Grundklemmen angeordnet sind.According to the mechanical attachment of the terminal block to each other interconnected connector is no longer on the front side of the connector or the front side of the base sondem perpendicular thereto, namely by the arrangement of two mounting base clamps and the use of two mounting lids on the two longitudinal sides of the basic terminal block or of the connector plug block. The plurality of juxtaposed connector is thus enclosed or bounded laterally by the mounting lids, which can be mechanically fixed by means of the fastening device to the mounting base clamps, which are arranged laterally next to the plurality of side by side arranged parentheses.

Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind im Klemmengehäuse der Befestigungsgrundklemmen mindestens zwei Befestigungsvorrichtungen ausgebildet, die in Längsrichtung der Befestigungsgrundklemme hintereinander angeordnet sind. Außerdem ist die Befestigungseinrichtung der Befestigungsdeckel außermittig zur Längsrichtung der Befestigungsdeckel angeordnet, so daß zwei um 180° zueinander gedreht angeordnete Befestigungsdeckel, d. h. zwei Befestigungsdeckel, die mit ihren Rückseiten gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind, gemeinsam mechanisch mit einer Befestigungsgrundklemme verbindbar sind. Durch die außermittige Anordnung der Befestigungseinrichtung und die Anordnung von zwei Befestigungsvorrichtungen hintereinander, kann dann jeweils eine Befestigungseinrichtung mit einer Befestigungsvorrichtung zusammenwirken.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, at least two fastening devices are formed in the terminal housing of the mounting base terminals, which are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the mounting base terminal. In addition, the attachment means of the attachment cover is arranged eccentrically to the longitudinal direction of the attachment cover, so that two arranged by 180 ° to each other arranged attachment cover, d. H. two mounting lids, which are arranged with their backs opposite, are mechanically connected to a mounting base clamp together. Due to the eccentric arrangement of the fastening device and the arrangement of two fastening devices one behind the other, then in each case a fastening device cooperate with a fastening device.

Grundsätzlich kann die mechanische Verbindung zwischen der in der Befestigungsgrundklemme ausgebildeten Befestigungsvorrichtung und der am Befestigungsdeckel ausgebildeten Befestigungseinrichtung als Rastverbindung ausgebildet sein. Vorzugsweise ist diese Verbindung jedoch als Schraubverbindung ausgebildet, wozu die Befestigungsvorrichtung bzw. die Befestigungsvorrichtungen im Klemmengehäuse der Befestigungsgrundklemme als Gewindeeinsatz ausgebildet ist bzw. sind und die Befestigungsdeckel eine Schraubenaufnahme und eine Schraube als Befestigungseinrichtung aufweisen. Hierdurch ist eine sichere und dauerhafte mechanische Befestigung der Befestigungsdeckel und damit der Anschlußstecker auf der Befestigungsgrundklemme sichergestellt, indem eine entsprechende Schraube in die Schraubenaufnahme am Befestigungsdeckel eingesteckt und dann in den Gewindeeinsatz in der Befestigungsgrundklemme eingeschraubt wird.In principle, the mechanical connection between the fastening device formed in the fastening base clamp and the fastening device formed on the fastening cover can be designed as a latching connection. Preferably, however, this connection is designed as a screw connection, for which purpose the fastening device or the fastening devices in the terminal housing of the mounting base clamp is designed as a threaded insert and are and the fastening cover has a screw receptacle and a screw as a fastening device. This ensures a secure and permanent mechanical attachment of the mounting cover and thus the connector on the mounting base clamp by a corresponding screw in the Insert the screw holder on the mounting cover and then screw it into the threaded insert in the mounting base clamp.

Dadurch, daß die Befestigungsgrundklemmen und die Befestigungsdeckel als separate Bauteile ausgebildet sind, ist die Anzahl der zu einem Grundklemmenblock verbindbaren Grundklemmen bzw. die Anzahl der zu einem Anschlußsteckerblock verbindbaren Anschlußstecker frei wählbar. Grundsätzlich ist es möglich, lediglich einen Anschlußstecker mittels zweier Befestigungsdeckel mechanisch über die beiden Befestigungsgrundklemmen mit einer Grundklemme zu verbinden. In der Regel werden jedoch mehrere Anschlußstecker, beispielsweise drei, vier, fünf oder sechs Anschlußstecker, zwischen zwei Befestigungsdeckeln angeordnet sein, die dann auf einen aus einer entsprechenden Anzahl an Grundklemmen bestehenden Grundklemmenblock, der an beiden Seiten eine Befestigungsgrundklemme aufweist, aufgesteckt und fixiert werden.The fact that the mounting base clamps and the mounting cover are formed as separate components, the number of connectable to a basic terminal block basic terminals or the number of connectable to a connector plug connector connector is arbitrary. In principle, it is possible to mechanically connect only one connector by means of two mounting lids on the two mounting base clamps with a basic terminal. In general, however, a plurality of connectors, for example, three, four, five or six connectors, be arranged between two mounting lids, which are then plugged and fixed to a consisting of a corresponding number of parent terminals basic terminal block, which has a mounting base clamp on both sides.

Vorzugsweise erfolgt die mechanische Verbindung der Befestigungsdeckel mit den Steckergehäusen der Anschlußstecker durch Verrasten, wozu an den Befestigungsdeckeln mehrere Rastzapfen angeordnet und in der Seitenwand der Steckergehäuse korrespondierende Rastausnehmungen ausgebildet sind. Entsprechend können auch die Klemmengehäuse der Befestigungsgrundklemmen mit den Klemmengehäusen der Grundklemmen mechanisch miteinander verbunden werden, wobei hier eine Verrastung vorzugsweise mittels entsprechend ausgebildeter Rasthaken und korrespondierenden Rastnuten erfolgt. Dadurch kann eine Verbindung der Befestigungsgrundklemmen mit den Grundklemmen beim Aufstecken bzw. Aufschwenken auf eine Tragschiene erfolgen.Preferably, the mechanical connection of the mounting cover with the plug housings of the connector takes place by latching, for which a plurality of locking pins arranged on the mounting lids and in the side wall of the connector housing corresponding recesses are formed. Accordingly, the terminal housing of the mounting base terminals with the terminal housings of the basic terminals can be mechanically connected to each other, in which case a locking preferably takes place by means of appropriately trained latching hook and corresponding locking grooves. This allows a connection of the mounting base terminals with the basic terminals when plugging or swinging up done on a mounting rail.

Gemäß einer letzten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Reihenklemmenblocks weist das Klemmengehäuse der Befestigungsgrundklemme dieselbe Breite, vorzugsweise auch dieselbe Länge und dieselbe Höhe wie das Klemmengehäuse einer Grundklemme auf. Die Befestigungsgrundklemme weist somit dasselbe Rastermaß wie die Grundklemmen selber auf, so daß sich durch die Verwendung der beiden Befestigungsgrundklemmen lediglich die Breite des Reihenklemmenblocks, nicht jedoch seine sonstigen Abmaße, verändert.According to a last advantageous embodiment of the electrical terminal block according to the invention, the terminal housing of the mounting base terminal the same width, preferably also the same length and the same height as the terminal housing of a basic terminal. The mounting base clamp thus has the same pitch as the parent terminals themselves, so that only the width of the terminal block, but not its other dimensions changed by the use of the two mounting base terminals.

Neben dem zuvor beschriebenen elektrischen Reihenklemmenblock betrifft die Erfindung auch eine Baueinheit aus mindestens einem Anschlußstecker zum Aufstecken auf eine der Anzahl der Anschlußstecker entsprechende Anzahl von Grundklemmen und zwei auf beiden Seiten des oder der Anschlußstecker angeordneten Befestigungsdeckeln. Zwar sind im Stand der Technik Endhalter für Reihenklemmen bekannt, welche auf eine Tragschiene aufgesteckt und dort mittels Schrauben fixiert werden können, wodurch die zwischen zwei Endhaltern angeordneten Reihenklemmen in ihrer Position in Längsrichtung der Tragschiene fixiert werden ( US 6,145,213 A ). Befestigungsdeckel für Anschlußstecker sind dagegen bisher nicht bekannt. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Baueinheit, bei der der Anschlußstecker ein Steckergehäuse, mindestens ein darin angeordnetes Leiteranschlußelement und einen mit dem Leiteranschlußelement elektrisch verbundenen Steckkontakt aufweist, ist der Befestigungsdeckel dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß er eine Befestigungseinrichtung aufweist, mittels derer die Baueinheit auf einer entsprechenden Anzahl von Grundklemmen befestigt werden kann.In addition to the electrical terminal block described above, the invention also relates to a unit of at least one connector for plugging on a number of connectors corresponding number of parent terminals and two arranged on both sides of the connector or the mounting lids. Although end holders for terminal blocks are known in the prior art, which can be plugged onto a mounting rail and fixed there by means of screws, whereby the terminal blocks arranged between two end holders are fixed in their position in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rail ( US 6,145,213 A ). Fastening cover for connector, however, are not yet known. In the assembly according to the invention, in which the connector has a connector housing, at least one conductor connection element arranged therein and a plug contact electrically connected to the conductor connection element, the attachment cover is characterized in that it has a fastening device by means of which the unit is fastened on a corresponding number of basic clamps can be.

Die Befestigungseinrichtung des Befestigungsdeckels ist dabei - wie zuvor bereits im Zusammenhang mit dem erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Reihenklemmenblock beschrieben - außermittig zur Längsrichtung des Befestigungsdeckels angeordnet, wobei die Befestigungseinrichtung vorzugsweise aus einer Schraubenaufnahme und einer Schraube besteht.The fastening device of the fastening cover is - as previously described in connection with the electrical terminal block according to the invention - arranged eccentrically to the longitudinal direction of the fastening cover, wherein the fastening device preferably consists of a screw holder and a screw.

Besteht die erfindungsgemäße Baueinheit nicht lediglich aus einem Anschlußstecker, sondern aus mehreren Anschlußsteckern, so sind diese vorzugsweise mechanisch miteinander verbindbar, wozu an den Seitenwänden der Anschlußstecker entweder Rastzapfen und korrespondierende Rastausnehmungen oder Rasthaken und korrespondierende Rastnuten ausgebildet sind. Die einzelnen Anschlußstecker können somit zunächst zu einem entsprechenden Anschlußsteckerblock zusammengesteckt werden, wonach dann die beiden Befestigungsdeckel auf die freien Seitenwände der außenliegenden Anschlußstecker des Anschlußsteckerblocks aufgesteckt werden.If the assembly according to the invention not only from a connector, but from several connectors, they are preferably mechanically connected to each other, including either locking pin and corresponding recesses or latching hooks and corresponding locking grooves are formed on the side walls of the connector. The individual connection plugs can thus be first plugged together to form a corresponding connection plug block, after which the two fastening covers are then plugged onto the free side walls of the outer connection plug of the connection plug block.

Schließlich betrifft die Erfindung noch einen Befestigungsdeckel zum Befestigen an einer Seitenwand des Steckergehäuses eines Anschlußsteckers, wobei der Befestigungsdeckel eine außermittig zur Längsrichtung des Befestigungsdeckels angeordnete Befestigungsvorrichtung aufweist. Die Befestigungseinrichtung wird dabei vorzugsweise von einer Schraubenaufnahme gebildet, in die eine entsprechende Schraube einsteckbar bzw. einschraubbar ist.Finally, the invention also relates to a fastening cover for fastening to a side wall of the plug housing of a connector plug, wherein the fastening cover is an off-center to the longitudinal direction having the fastening cover arranged fastening device. The fastening device is preferably formed by a screw receptacle into which a corresponding screw can be inserted or screwed.

Im einzelnen gibt es nun eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, den erfindungsgemäßen elektrischen Reihenklemmenblock bzw. die erfindungsgemäße Baueinheit und den erfindungsgemäßen Befestigungsdeckel auszugestalten und weiterzubilden.

In particular, there are now a variety of ways to design and further develop the electrical terminal block according to the invention or the structural unit according to the invention and the fastening cover according to the invention. Reference is made on the one hand to the claims subordinate to claims 1, 10 and 15, on the other hand to the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments in conjunction with the drawing.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen jeweils zwei elektrische Reihenklemmenblöcke 1, 1', die nebeneinander auf einer Tragschiene 2 aufgerastet sind. Die beiden Reihenklemmenblöcke 1, 1' bestehen aus drei bzw. fünf nebeneinander angeordneten Grundklemmen 3 und jeweils einer doppelten Anzahl d. h. sechs bzw. zehn Anschlußsteckern 4, 5, wobei jeweils zwei Anschlußstecker 4, 5 auf einer Grundklemme 3 aufgesteckt sind. Zum Befestigen der Grundklemmen 3 auf der Tragschiene 2 sind im Fuß der Grundklemme 3 entsprechende, aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte, Rastelemente ausgebildet.The Fig. 1 and 2 each show two electrical terminal blocks 1, 1 ', which are snapped on side by side on a support rail 2. The two terminal blocks 1, 1 'consist of three or five mutually adjacent basic terminals 3 and in each case a double number ie six or ten connectors 4, 5, wherein in each case two connectors 4, 5 are attached to a base terminal 3. For fixing the basic terminals 3 on the support rail 2 corresponding 3, known from the prior art, locking elements are formed in the foot of the base clamp.

Die Grundklemmen 3 weisen jeweils ein aus Isolierstoff bestehendes Klemmengehäuse 6 und zwei darin angeordnete Leiteranschlußelemente auf. Die Leiteranschlußelemente, welche hier als Schraubklemmen ausgebildet sind, ebenso jedoch auch als Zugfederklemmen, Schenkelfederklemmen oder als Schneidanschlußklemmen ausgebildet sein können, sind über - hier nicht dargestellte - Stromschienen elektrisch mit je einem Steckplatz verbunden, auf den die Anschlußstecker 4, 5 aufgesteckt sind. In Fig. 2 sind die einzelnen Klemmschrauben 7 der als Schraubklemmen ausgebildeten Leiteranschlußelemente der Grundklemmen dargestellt.The basic terminals 3 each have a terminal housing 6 consisting of insulating material and two conductor connection elements arranged therein. The Conductor connection elements, which are designed here as screw terminals, but can also be designed as tension spring terminals, leg spring terminals or as cutting terminals are - not shown here - busbars electrically connected to one slot, to which the connector 4, 5 are plugged. In Fig. 2 are the individual clamping screws 7 of the screw terminals designed as conductor connection elements of the basic terminals shown.

Bezüglich einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der einzelnen Grundklemmen 3, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Ausgestaltung der Leiteranschlußelemente und der Steckplätze, wird auf die Fig. 1 der DE 295 14 711 U1 verwiesen. Darüber hinaus ist es auch möglich, daß die einzelnen Grundklemmen 3 ausschließlich Steckplätze aufweisen, so daß dann die als Schraubklemmen ausgebildeten Leiteranschlußelemente durch entsprechende Steckplätze ersetzt werden. Ebenso ist die Anzahl der Leiteranschlußelemente und der Steckplätze variierbar, so daß die Erfindung keineswegs auf die in den Figuren dargestellten Grundklemmen 3 mit zwei Leiteranschlußelementen und zwei Steckplätzen beschränkt ist.With regard to an alternative embodiment of the individual basic terminals 3, in particular with regard to the configuration of the conductor connection elements and the slots, is on the Fig. 1 of the DE 295 14 711 U1 directed. In addition, it is also possible that the individual basic terminals 3 exclusively have slots, so that then the screw terminals formed as conductor connection elements are replaced by corresponding slots. Likewise, the number of conductor connection elements and the slots is variable, so that the invention is not limited to the basic terminals 3 shown in the figures with two conductor connection elements and two slots.

Die insbesondere in den Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellten Anschlußstecker 4, 5 welche senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Tragschiene 2 hintereinander auf jeweils eine Grundklemme 3 aufgesteckt sind, weisen jeweils ein Steckergehäuse 8 auf, in dem jeweils ein Leiteranschlußelement 9 und ein mit dem Leiteranschlußelement 9 elektrisch verbundener Steckkontakt 10 angeordnet sind. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Leiteranschlußelemente 9 der Anschlußstecker 4, 5 ebenfalls als Schraubklemmen und die Steckkontakte 10 als tulpenförmige Steckerbuchsen ausgebildet. Selbstverständlich können auch bei den Anschlußsteckern 4, 5 anstelle der Schraubklemmen 9 andere Leiteranschlußelemente verwendet werden. Ebenso kann der Steckkontakt 10 der Anschlußstecker 3, 4 alternativ zur Ausbildung als Steckerbuchse auch als Steckerstift ausgebildet sein, wobei dann der in der Grundklemme 3 angeordnete Steckplatz korrespondierend als Steckerbuchse ausgebildet ist.The particular in the Fig. 3 and 4 illustrated connector 4, 5 which are mounted perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support rail 2 in a row on each a base terminal 3, each having a connector housing 8, in each of which a conductor connection element 9 and an electrically connected to the conductor connection element 9 plug contact 10 are arranged. In the illustrated embodiment, the conductor connection elements 9 of the connector 4, 5 are also designed as screw terminals and the plug contacts 10 as tulip-shaped sockets. Of course, 9 other conductor connection elements can also be used in the connection plugs 4, 5 instead of the screw terminals. Likewise, the plug contact 10 of the connector 3, 4 may alternatively be designed as a plug socket as a plug pin to form the training, in which case the arranged in the base terminal 3 slot is formed as a corresponding connector socket.

Auf beiden Seiten der miteinander verbundenen Grundklemmenblöcke, die aus einer Mehrzahl von - drei bzw. fünf - nebeneinander angeordneten Grundklemme 3 bestehen, ist jeweils eine Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 auf der Tragschiene 2 aufgerastet, die eine den Abmessungen der Klemmengehäuse 6 entsprechendes Klemmengehäuse 12 aufweisen. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, ist dabei die mittlere Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 sowohl dem aus drei Grundklemmen 3 bestehenden (linken) Grundklemmenblock als auch dem aus fünf Grundklemmen 3 bestehenden (rechten) Grundklemmenblock bzw. den dazugehörigen Anschlußsteckern 4, 5 zugeordnet. Darüber hinaus sind auf beiden Seiten der Mehrzahl von - drei bzw. fünf - nebeneinander angeordneten Anschlußsteckern 4, 5 je ein Befestigungsdeckel 13 angeordnet, wobei jeder Anschlußsteckerblock zwei Befestigungsdeckel 13 aufweist. Bei den beiden nebeneinander auf einer Tragschiene aufgerasteten Reihenklemmenblöcke 1, 1' sind somit drei Befestigungsgrundklemmen 11 und vier bzw. aufgrund der Anordnung von zwei Anschlußsteckern 4, 5 pro Grundklemme 3 acht Befestigungsdeckel 13 vorgesehen.On both sides of the interconnected basic terminal blocks, which consist of a plurality of - three or five - side by side arranged base terminal 3, a fixing base terminal 11 is in each case the mounting rail 2 latched, which have a the dimensions of the terminal housing 6 corresponding terminal housing 12. As in particular from Fig. 2 it can be seen, the middle mounting base terminal 11 is assigned to both consisting of three basic terminals 3 (left) basic terminal block as well as consisting of five basic terminals 3 (right) basic terminal block or the associated connector plugs 4, 5. In addition, on both sides of the plurality of - three or five - juxtaposed connector plugs 4, 5 each arranged a mounting cover 13, wherein each connector block has two mounting cover 13. In the two juxtaposed on a DIN rail terminal blocks 1, 1 'thus three mounting base terminals 11 and four or due to the arrangement of two connectors 4, 5 per base terminal 3 eight mounting cover 13 is provided.

Aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ist erkennbar, daß in den Klemmengehäusen 12 der Befestigungsgrundklemmen 11 mehrere - in den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen insgesamt je vier - Gewindeeinsätze 14, 15 ausgebildet sind. Die vier Gewindeeinsätze 14, 15 sind dabei in Längsrichtung der Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 paarweise hintereinander angeordnet, wobei das erste, innere Paar von Gewindeeinsätzen 14 den inneren Anschlußsteckern 4 und das zweite, äußere Paar von Gewindeeinsätzen 15 den äußeren Anschlußsteckern 5 zugeordnet ist.From the Fig. 1 and 2 It can be seen that in the terminal housings 12 of the mounting base terminals 11 more - in the illustrated embodiments, a total of four - threaded inserts 14, 15 are formed. The four threaded inserts 14, 15 are arranged in pairs in succession in the longitudinal direction of the mounting base clamp 11, wherein the first, inner pair of threaded inserts 14 is the inner connector plugs 4 and the second, outer pair of threaded inserts 15 associated with the outer connector plugs 5.

Die Befestigungsdeckel 13 weisen jeweils eine Schraubenaufnahme 16 für eine Schraube 17 auf, die in einen entsprechenden Gewindeeinsatz 14, 15 im Klemmengehäuse 12 der Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 eingeschraubt werden kann. Dadurch kann der Befestigungsdeckel 13 - und damit auch die Anschlußstecker 4, 5 - an der Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 bzw. den Grundklemmen 3 befestigt werden. Die Schraubenaufnahmen 16 sind dabei außermittig zur Längsrichtung der Befestigungsdeckel 13 angeordnet, so daß zwei um 180° zueinander gedreht angeordnete Befestigungsdeckel 13 zweier Anschlußstekkerblöcke jeweils in eine der beiden hintereinander angeordneten Gewindeeinsätzen 14 bzw. 15 der Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 einschraubbar sind. Somit können zwei, einander mit ihren Rückseiten zugewandte Befestigungsdeckel 13 gemeinsam auf einer Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 fixiert werden.The fastening cover 13 each have a screw receptacle 16 for a screw 17, which can be screwed into a corresponding threaded insert 14, 15 in the terminal housing 12 of the mounting base terminal 11. This allows the attachment cover 13 - and thus the connector 4, 5 - are attached to the mounting base terminal 11 and the base terminals 3. The screw receptacles 16 are arranged eccentrically to the longitudinal direction of the mounting cover 13 so that two 180 ° rotated to each other arranged attachment cover 13 of two Anschlußstekkerblöcke each in one of the two consecutively arranged threaded inserts 14 and 15 of the mounting base clamp 11 are screwed. Thus, two, each with their backs facing mounting cover 13 can be fixed together on a mounting base clamp 11.

Diese besonders platzsparende Ausführung ist bei der mittleren Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Aufgrund der außermittigen Anordnung der Schraubenaufnahme 16 am Befestigungsdeckel 13 und der Ausbildung von zwei hintereinander angeordneten Gewindeeinsätzen 14 bzw. 15 in der Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 sind somit zur sicheren mechanischen Fixierung von zwei Anschlußsteckerblöcken mit zusammen vier Befestigungsdekkeln 13 nur drei Befestigungsgrundklemmen 11 erforderlich. Werden entsprechend drei Reihenklemmenblöcke 1 nebeneinander auf einer Tragschiene aufgerastet, so sind dann zur mechanischen Fixierung von ebenfalls drei Anschlußsteckerblöcken mit sechs Befestigungsdeckeln 13 nur vier Befestigungsgrundklemmen 11 erforderlich.This particularly space-saving design is in the middle mounting base clamp 11 in Fig. 2 shown. Due to the off-center arrangement of the screw receptacle 16 on the mounting cover 13 and the formation of two consecutively arranged threaded inserts 14 and 15 in the mounting base 11 thus only three mounting base clamps 11 are required for secure mechanical fixation of two connector blocks with four Befestigungsdekkeln. If three terminal blocks 1 are snapped together next to one another on a support rail, then only four fixing base clamps 11 are required for the mechanical fixation of likewise three connector blocks with six fixing lids 13.

Anhand der Fig. 3 und 4 ist ersichtlich, daß die Befestigungsdeckel 13 mit den Steckergehäusen 8 der Anschlußstecker 4, 5 verrastbar sind, wozu an den Befestigungsdeckeln 13 mehrere Rastzapfen 18 und in den Seitenwänden der Steckergehäuse 8 korrespondierende Rastausnehmungen 19 angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet sind. Aus den Figuren ist darüber hinaus ersichtlich, daß das Klemmenghäuse 12 der Befestigungsgrundklemme 11 dieselben Abmessungen, insbesondere dasselbe Rastermaß, wie die Klemmengehäuse 6 der Grundklemmen 3 aufweist. Durch die Verwendung der Befestigungsgrundklemmen 11 wird somit lediglich die Gesamtbreite des so verbundenen Reihenklemmenblocks 1, nicht jedoch dessen sonstige Abmessungen vergrößert.Based on Fig. 3 and 4 It can be seen that the mounting cover 13 with the plug housings 8 of the connector 4, 5 can be latched, for which purpose a plurality of locking pin 18 and in the side walls of the connector housing 8 corresponding locking recesses 19 are arranged or formed on the mounting lids. From the figures it is also apparent that the terminal housing 12 of the mounting base terminal 11 has the same dimensions, in particular the same pitch as the terminal housing 6 of the basic terminals 3. By using the mounting base terminals 11 thus only the total width of the thus connected terminal block 1, but not its other dimensions is increased.

Ebenso weisen auch die Befestigungsdeckel 13 im wesentlichen die gleiche Länge L wie die Steckergehäuse 8 der Anschlußstecker 4, 5 auf. Darüber hinaus weist einer der beiden Befestigungsdeckel 13 auch noch dieselbe Höhe wie das Steckergehäuse 8 auf, so daß die Befestigungsdeckel 13 nicht nur zur mechanischen Fixierung der Anschlußstecker 4, 5 auf den Grundklemmen 3 sondern auch zur Abdichtung der in den Steckergehäusen 8 angeordneten Leiteranschlußelemente 9 und Steckkontakte 10 dienen.Likewise, the mounting cover 13 have substantially the same length L as the connector housing 8 of the connector 4, 5. In addition, one of the two mounting cover 13 also has the same height as the connector housing 8, so that the mounting cover 13 not only for mechanical fixation of the connector 4, 5 on the base terminals 3 but also for sealing arranged in the connector housings 8 conductor connection elements 9 and Plug contacts 10 are used.
