Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting device for connecting terminal contacts of a terminal block with further terminal contacts of an electrical device, wherein the connecting device is configured such that the terminal block in a first contact position - a test position - contacted only the connecting device and not the terminal contacts of the device and in a second Contact position - a switched position - both the connection device and the connection contacts of the device.
  • connection devices are known per se from the prior art. Their structure is often relatively complicated. In addition, the known constructions are not always completely reliable.
  • the state of the art is the DE 692 23 483 T2 , the US 52 95 870 A and the US 40 20 301 A called.
  • the invention has the object to provide a connection device, which has a structurally simple structure and with the safe and easy both the required test position and the switched position can be realized against this background.
  • the connecting device according to the invention is simple in construction and therefore inexpensive to implement.
  • the locking direction is constructed in such a way that the test position is initially clearly recognizable or noticeable.
  • the switched position or the "connect position" can be achieved solely by further insertion with a higher insertion force.
  • Fig. 1a and b show a terminal block 1, which is designed here as a terminal block, which consists of a plurality of juxtaposed terminals 2.
  • a connecting device 4 with multiple components.
  • the terminal block 1 can be pushed onto the connecting device 4, which it first contacts when pushed on in a test position (FIG. 2).
  • the collar 11 may be molded onto the device to be wired or, for example, configured to be attached (e.g., latched) to it.
  • the collar 11 is shown as immovable and the connecting device 4 and the terminal block are shown as being movable relative to the collar 11 and thus relative to the device to be connected.
  • connection block 1, the connection device 4 and the device to be connected each have a plurality of electrical connections or connection contacts, which are designed such that all of the connection contacts can be brought into a switched and a disconnected position by a purely translational movement.
  • connection contacts are designed as pin and socket contacts, which can be plugged into one another in the direction X and can be pulled apart again.
  • each double terminals or contacts are formed, which are designed both on one side for contacting the terminal block 1 and on the other side for contacting the device to be connected.
  • the illustrated embodiment is constructed as follows:
  • the terminal block 1 has a plurality of terminal rows 3a, 3b, from female contacts 5.
  • the two terminal rows 3a, b are arranged laterally of a wall 7, which is aligned parallel to the actuating direction X. Together they form a kind of higher-order contact block 8, which can be contacted by the connecting device 4, wherein the contacting in a test position - Fig. 2 - and a switched position - Fig. 3 - can take place.
  • the connecting device 4 has a contact block 8 complementary and plugged together with this contact block 9, which is exemplified here with two terminal rows 6a, b of male or here pin contacts 10, which are designed to contact the socket contacts 5 on the terminal block 1.
  • the contact block 8 here forms a quasi kind of strip-shaped socket and the contact block 9 forms a kind of strip-shaped plug.
  • socket contacts 5 on the connecting device 4 and the plug contacts on the terminal or here terminal block 1 could be formed (not shown here).
  • the contact block 9 is guided displaceably in the collar 11.
  • the terminal block 1 is pushed onto the connecting device 9, so that the socket contacts 5 and the plug contacts 10 engage with each other and are conductively connected to each other.
  • This first contact position - a test position - is shown in FIG. In this position, the contact block 9 of the connecting device protrudes from the collar 11 or is not drawn into this.
  • the spring assembly 13 here consists of several - preferably between the short side walls 14, 15 of the contact block 9 of the connecting device and the inside of the collar 11 distributed springs, which are designed here as tension springs 16, which puts in the locked position of the test position in a contracted state in which they each hold the contact block in the test position.
  • the tension springs 16 are fixed with one of its ends to the contact block 9 or a pin 17 connected thereto and at its other end to the next under yet to be explained pawl 21 or on a connected to the collar 11 element (as the shaft for mounting the pawl). These are tension springs, which are tensioned on further insertion of the contact block 9 of the connecting device 4 in the collar 11 and contract again when switching off to retract the contact block 9.
  • a second contact side 18, which is preferably arranged directly in the direction of actuation X in extension of the connection contacts 11, contacts further connection contacts 19 in the axial direction or in direction X (not shown here)
  • the two locking devices 12 are provided.
  • the tension springs 16 also ensure, when the contact block is removed, that the contact block defines itself in the test position.
  • the locking devices 12 each have a pin 21 pivotally mounted on a pin 20.
  • This pawl 21 is a spring 22, here a compression spring assigned, which acts on the pawl 21 such that it pivots the pawl 21 in a position in which it limits the insertion movement of the contact block 9 in the collar 11.
  • the tension spring 13 is attached to the pin 20.
  • connection block 1 with its contact block 8 on the connecting device can first be moved into the test position of FIG. 2, upon reaching which the pawl 21 initially opposes the further insertion of a clear resistance.
  • the pawl 21 and the coming to rest on the pawl 21 edge of the contact block 9 are shaped (eg by being chamfered or rounded are) that in a further insertion of the terminal block 1 after exceeding a limit force, the pawl 21 is pivoted out of the terminal block 9 from its locking position.
  • the frame 11 runs easily in a roller 23 which is arranged on a pin 24 on the pawl 21.
  • the frame 11 has a rounded recess 25, in which the roller 23 engages.
  • the pawl 21 releases the movement of the connection block 9, so that the tension springs 16 are tensioned during the further manual or motorized insertion of the contact block 9.
  • the contact block 9 of the connecting device 4 is pushed into the collar 11, this finally leads to the electrical device to be connected being contacted according to FIG. 3 on the second connection side 18 (not shown).
  • terminal block 1 jam 2 terminal rows 3a, 3b, ... connecting device 4 female contacts 5 terminal rows 6 wall 7
  • Contact block 8th connecting device 9 pin contacts 10 collar 11 locking device 12 spring assembly 13 side walls 14, 15
