Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connecting device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such switching devices are used to connect power contacts with each other and to solve each other.
  • a further device section with the corresponding power contacts is pushed onto a basic device section with first power contacts.
  • further contacts on the device sections with each other which already contact each other in a test position, before a displacement of the device section takes place in the switched position in which the power contacts are connected to each other.
  • tests can already be carried out, for example, for checking functions of the device sections to be connected to each other before reaching the connected position.
  • the invention broadly relates to the area of connection of the further contacts to the device sections to be joined together by means of suitable connection devices.
  • one of the contacts to be connected to one another is designed in the manner of a sliding contact, in which the other of the contacts from a first position - the test position - schleifend up to the switched position (in which the power contacts are connected to each other) movable is.
  • connection and switching device for connecting terminal contacts of a terminal block with further terminal contacts of a connecting device is known, which is configured such that the terminal block from a first position, in particular a test position, in which the terminal contacts of the terminal block and the connecting device contacting each other on a carriage on a rail of a device portion in the contacting state together to a second position, in particular a switched position, are displaceable, wherein the connecting device at least one releasable locking device for locking the connecting device in the first position, which is designed such that the locked position is solvable solely by translationally sliding the connecting device by overcoming a frictional force between elements of the locking device, wherein the locking device has a locking slide.
  • 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 invention has the object to provide a connection device, which has a structurally simple and yet very stable structure, with the safe and easy both the required test position and the switched position can be reached even at high forces to be included in the circuit.
  • the connecting device according to the invention is simple in construction and therefore inexpensive to implement.
  • the locking device is constructed such that initially clearly recognizable a locking position is achieved. Either in this position or shortly thereafter, the test position for performing tests is reached.
  • the switched position or the "connect position" can be achieved solely by further insertion with a higher insertion force. In this case, even very high forces can be easily absorbed by the connecting device.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show a terminal block 1, which is formed here as a terminal block consisting of a plurality of juxtaposed (terminal) terminals 2, which are held together in a mounting frame 25 (see also the embodiment of Fig. 8 , which, except for details to be explained below, largely corresponds to the exemplary embodiment of FIG Fig. 1 corresponds).
  • the terminal block 1 can be slid onto the connecting device 4, which it firstly pushes in a test position (FIG. FIGS. 1a to 1c . FIGS. 7a, 7f ) contacted.
  • the mated unit of the connecting device 4 and the terminal block 1 in a switched position (in which the power contacts contact each other), which in FIG. 2 and 7c is reached. In this case, the contact between the contacts of the terminal block 1 and the connecting device 4 remains.
  • the collar 3 can be formed on the device to be wired or, for example, fastened to it (for example screwed or latched).
  • the collar 3 is shown as immovable and the connecting device 4 and the terminal block 1 are shown as being movable relative to the collar 3 and thus to the device to be connected. It is also conceivable to arrange the connection block 1 rigidly on a housing and to make the collar 3 displaceable relative to the connection block 1 with optionally associated components. Thus, it is conceivable that the collar 3 is a part of a relative to a basic device section movable device section and that power contacts are connected to each other at the two sections and to be separated from each other (not shown here). Of the Terminal block serves to be able to carry out tests via the terminal block
  • 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 in the form of pin and socket contacts, which can be inserted into one another in the direction X and can be pulled apart again.
  • the illustrated variant is insofar purely exemplary.
  • the illustrated pin and socket contacts 31 and 9a, 9b are also interchangeable with each other in terms of their arrangement on the terminal block 1, on the connecting device 4 and on the device.
  • double terminals or contacts are here each exemplified, 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. It is also possible for one or more than two terminal rows to be formed on the connecting device and on the terminal block 1.
  • the illustrated embodiment is constructed as follows.
  • the terminal block 1 has a plurality of terminal rows 5a, 5b of pin contacts 31 (see FIG. 1b and 8b ) on.
  • the two terminal rows 5a, 5b are arranged laterally of a wall 6, which is aligned parallel to the actuating direction X. Together they form a kind of superordinate one Contact block 7, which is contacted by the connecting device 4, wherein the contacting in the test position - FIG. 1 - and the connected position - FIG. 2 - he follows.
  • the connecting device 4 has a contact block or area 8 that is only hinted at, complementary to the contact block 7 and can be plugged together, which is here provided, for example, with two terminal rows of socket contacts 9a, 9b, which are used to contact the pin contacts 31 of the terminal rows 5a , 5b are designed on the terminal block or terminal block 1.
  • the contact block 7 of the terminal block forms here almost a kind of strip-shaped plug and the contact block 8 is a kind of strip-shaped socket.
  • a reverse type of arrangement would also be feasible:
  • the pin contacts could be formed on the connecting device 4 and the socket contacts on the connection or terminal block 1 (not shown here).
  • the connecting device 4 is guided displaceably in the collar 3.
  • two locking devices 10a, 10b are fixed in such a way that ensure that first the pin and socket contacts are pushed far enough together for a good contact before the locking devices 10a, b are released ..
  • the connecting device 4 also has a kind of collar 11, which has an elongated, substantially rectangular shape (in a plan view), wherein it surrounds the two terminal rows of female contacts 9a, 9b all around.
  • the collar 11 of the connecting device has two narrow sides 12a, 12b, and is in the collar 3 of the electrical device (see FIG. 5 ) slidably guided.
  • one of the locking devices 10a, 10b is arranged between two narrow sides 12a, 12b of the essentially rectangular top view collar 11 of the connecting device 4 and corresponding narrow sides 13a, 13b of the collar 3 of the electrical device.
  • the locking device consists of two lever-type, pivotable locking elements 14a, 14b, which are each pivotally mounted at one of their ends here on pins 15a, 15b on the narrow sides 12a, 12b of the collar 11 of the connecting device 14.
  • the locking elements 14a, 14b each have a V-shaped end portion 16 at their ends opposite the pivot bearings or pins 15a, 15b.
  • V-shaped end portions are designed (see FIG. 7 ) engage in corresponding slots 17 in a groove-like guide track 18 of the collar 3, in which they are guided on the collar 3 slidably.
  • the connecting device 4 In the position in which the V-shaped end portions 16 engage in the slots 17, the connecting device 4 is in its test position ( Fig. 7a ).
  • the locking slide 19 passes through a receptacle 20 which is formed or attached to the narrow sides 12a, 12b of the collar 11 of the connecting device 14.
  • the receptacle is designed such that the locking slide, the in FIG. 5 can be seen, relative to the receptacle and the collar 11 is displaced.
  • the locking slide 19 has a receiving space 21 for a return spring 22. If the locking slide 19 is pushed in the receptacle 20, grab his head 28 and two webs 23 an opening 34 of the receptacle 20, so that the locking slide is slidably guided in the receptacle or on the collar, wherein it by the return spring 22 relative to the collar in held a defined position unless an X-direction force is exerted on it.
  • the webs 23 prevent a failure of the locking slide 19 and thus the connecting device 4 with the collar 11 from the collar 3 of the device section.
  • the exertion of a force in the X direction is realized by means of an actuating slide which is immovable with the terminal block 1 or a frame 25 of the terminal block which receives the terminals 2 (see FIGS. 1a and 1c ), connected is.
  • the frame 25 (see Fig. 1 ) has an actuating slide 24, which has two latching webs 26 which are adapted to snap at a displacement of the terminal block 1 relative to the connecting device 4 after the complete achievement of the test position on the receptacle 20 over, then to advance webs 27 on the locking slide 19 ,
  • the operating slide 24 pushes the locking slide, which has a widened head 28, in the X direction, so that its head 28 is pushed past in the X direction, when the frictional forces between the locking elements 14a, 14b are exceeded, so that a the head 28 subsequent taper 29 of the locking slide 19 between the two locking elements 14a, 14b shifts, whereby it is possible that the locking elements pivot inwards.
  • the lock is released and the connecting device as a whole (see Figure 7b, 7c ) in the contacted or switched position ( FIG. 7 ), in which the power contacts, which are not shown here, are connected to each other.
  • the terminal block may also be completely deducted.
  • Fig. 9 and 10 show an embodiment in which the test position is realized in an alternative way.
  • the design and dimensioning is such that the locking slide 19 is already pushed so far in the test position that his head 28 is no longer exactly between the two V-shaped end portions 16 engages, so that they swing back out of the slots 17.
  • the locking position is thus almost "before" the achievement of the test position on the type Fig. 1 leave again, which has the advantage that the mechanical components in the test position of forces are further relieved, for example, if this is retained for a long time ..
  • Fig. 11 shows in Fig. 11a and 11b It replaces this latching hook webs 26 by two alternative latching hook webs 30, each of which has a type of corrugation 32a on their mutually facing sides, with which they can be latched into corresponding corrugations 32b on mutually remote outer surfaces of the receptacle 22, to take the receptacle 20 when releasing ..
  • This design is particularly stable and thus insensitive.
