Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Reihenklemmenanordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a terminal block assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Reihenklemmenanordnungen sind aus dem Stand der Technik in verschiedener Ausgestaltung bekannt. Durch Aufstecken bzw. Einbringen der Verbinder in die für sie vorgesehen Steckplätze ist es möglich, Stromschienen von zwei oder mehr Reihenklemmen in Anreihrichtung leitend miteinander zu verbinden, um derart eine Querverteilung von einem oder mehreren Potentialen in Anreihrichtung zu realisieren.Such terminal block arrangements are known from the prior art in various embodiments. By plugging or inserting the connector into the slots provided for it, it is possible to conductively interconnect busbars of two or more terminal blocks in the mounting direction, so as to realize a transverse distribution of one or more potentials in the direction of arrangement.

Dabei ist es bekannt, die Querverbinder mit an Sollbruchstellen abtrennbaren Steckern zu versehen, so dass es möglich ist, nur ganz bestimmte der aneinander gereihten Reihenklemmen leitend miteinander zu verbinden. Die gattungsgemäße Anordnung hat sich an sich bewährt.It is known to provide the cross connector with separable at predetermined breaking points plugs, so that it is possible to connect only certain of the juxtaposed terminal blocks conductive each other. The generic arrangement has proven itself.

Bei der EP 1758 206 A und bei den DE 34 22 800 A1 und EP 1 199 774 A werden Stromschienen innerhalb von Reihenklemmen durch Vertikalverbinder kontaktiert, die jeweils in einen Steckplatz eingeschoben werden und damit in vertikaler Richtung bzw. in Richtung der übereinander angeordneten Stromschienen zwei oder mehr dieser Stromschienen kontaktieren.In the EP 1758 206 A and at the DE 34 22 800 A1 and EP 1 199 774 A Busbars are contacted within terminal blocks by vertical connectors, which are each inserted into a slot and thus contact two or more of these busbars in the vertical direction or in the direction of the superposed busbars.

Es ist wünschenswert, die Möglichkeiten zur Potentialverteilung innerhalb der gattungsgemäßen Reihenklemmenanordnung auf einfach Weise noch vielseitiger zu gestalten, so dass gegenüber dem Stand der Technik weitere Möglichkeiten zur Potentialverteilung gegeben sind.It is desirable to make the possibilities for potential distribution within the generic terminal block arrangement in a simple way even more versatile, so that over the prior art further possibilities for potential distribution are given.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1. Geschaffen wird eine Reihenklemmenanordnung aus wenigstens zwei oder mehr aneinander reihbaren Reihenklemmen, die wenigstens einen oder mehrere Leiter- oder Steckeranschlüsse für elektrische Leiter oder Stecker aufweisen und mehrere die Leiter- oder Steckeranschlüsse miteinander leitend verbindende Stromschienen, die zumindest teilweise vertikal übereinander in entsprechenden Anschlussebenen angeordnet sind, sowie wenigstens einen oder mehrere Steckplätze zur Aufnahme von wenigstens einem oder mehreren ersten Verbindern zur leitenden Verbindung von Stromschienen in Anreihrichtung zur Querverteilung eines oder mehrerer Potentiale in Anreihrichtung über mehrere der Reihenklemmen hinweg, wobei weitere Steckplätze und/ oder eine Auslegung der Steckplätze zur Aufnahme wenigstens eines steckbaren weiteren Verbinders oder mehrerer steckbarer weiterer Verbinder zur Verteilung eines oder mehrerer der Potentiale innerhalb der jeweiligen Reihenklemmen vorgesehen ist, und wobei der zumindest eine bzw. die weiteren Verbinder senkrecht zur Anreihrichtung auf die Reihenklemmen aufsteckbar ist bzw. sind und ein weiterer Verbinder verschiedene Steckplätze zur leitenden Verbindung von in verschiedenen Anschlussebenen angeordneten Stromschienen miteinander verbindet.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1. What is provided is a terminal block assembly of at least two or more rowable terminal blocks having at least one or more conductor or plug terminals for electrical conductors or plugs and a plurality of the conductor or plug terminals interconnecting conductive Busbars, which are at least partially arranged vertically one above the other in corresponding connection levels, and at least one or more slots for receiving at least one or more first connectors for the conductive connection of busbars in the mounting direction for the transverse distribution of one or more potentials in the mounting direction across a plurality of terminal blocks, wherein further slots and / or a design of the slots for receiving at least one pluggable further connector or a plurality of pluggable further connector for distributing one or more of the potentials held is provided within the respective terminal blocks, and wherein the at least one or the other connector perpendicular to the mounting direction on the terminal blocks is or can be plugged and another connector connects different slots for the conductive connection of arranged in different connection levels busbars together.

Durch die Erfindung wird es möglich, Potentiale in Anreihrichtung zu verteilen und auch innerhalb jeder Reihenklemme Stromschienen zur Verteilung quasi beliebig auf einfache Weise miteinander zu verbinden, so dass die Möglichkeiten zur Potentialverteilung innerhalb der Reihenklemmenanordnung auf einfache Weise deutlich erhöht bzw. erweitert werden. Im Rahmen dieser Anmeldung wird daher unter Querverteilung einmal die Querverteilung in Anreihrichtung über mehrere Reihenklemmen hinweg und andererseits eine Verteilung innerhalb einer Reihenklemme verstanden, also insbesondere auch eine "Vertikalverteilung" in der Reihenklemme. Vorzugsweise ist damit wenigstens einer der Verbinder als Querverbinder und wenigstens einer der Verbinder als Vertikalverbinder ausgelegt.By means of the invention, it is possible to distribute potentials in the direction of arrangement and also to interconnect busbars for distribution virtually arbitrarily in a simple manner within each terminal block, so that the potential distribution possibilities within the terminal block arrangement can be increased or expanded in a simple manner. In the context of this application, the transverse distribution in the direction of arrangement across a plurality of terminal blocks and, on the other hand, a distribution within a terminal is therefore understood to mean transverse distribution, ie in particular also a "vertical distribution" in the terminal block. Preferably it is at least one of the connectors is designed as a cross connector and at least one of the connectors as a vertical connector.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Reihenklemmenanordnung 1 aus aneinander reihbaren Reihenklemmen 2a, 2b, 2c, ... die jeweils einen Isolierkörper 31 und wenigstens einen oder mehrere Anschlüsse 3a, 3b; 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b für Leiter (Fig. 1) aufweisen, die nach Fig. 1 stufenartig in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Anreihrichtung übereinander in mehreren Ebenen angeordnet sind und die jeweils paarweise über Stromschienen 3c, 4c, 5c, 6c miteinander leitend verbunden sind. Fig. 1 shows a terminal block assembly 1 of mutually re-routable terminal blocks 2a, 2b, 2c, ... each having an insulating body 31 and at least one or more terminals 3a, 3b; 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b for conductors ( Fig. 1 ), which after Fig. 1 are arranged stepwise in a plane perpendicular to the mounting direction one above the other in several levels and the pairs in each case via busbars 3c, 4c, 5c, 6c are conductively connected together.

Die Anschlüsse 3a, 3b, ... sind hier beispielhaft als Zugfederanschlüsse ausgestaltet, eine Ausgestaltung in anderer Anschlusstechnik, so als Druckfederanschluss, isolationsdurchdringender Anschluss oder als Schraubanschluss ist ebenfalls denkbar.The connections 3a, 3b,... Are here configured by way of example as tension spring connections, an embodiment in other connection technology, such as a compression spring connection, insulation-penetrating connection or as a screw connection is likewise conceivable.

Es ist ferner denkbar, die Anschlüsse 3a, 3b; ... derart auszugestalten, dass sie direkt mit einem Steckverbinder kontaktierbar sind. (Fig. 2). Die Anschlüsse 3a, 3b; ... und die Stromschienen 3c, 4c, ... sind vorzugsweise in mehreren - hier vier - Ebenen 3, 4, 5, 6 übereinander angeordnet.It is also conceivable, the terminals 3a, 3b; ... in such a way that they can be contacted directly with a connector. ( Fig. 2 ). The connections 3a, 3b; ... and the busbars 3c, 4c, ... are preferably arranged in several - here four - levels 3, 4, 5, 6 one above the other.

Als unterschiedliche Anschlussebenen wird hier auch angesehen, wenn die Anschlüsse (3a, 3b, ...) an sich in einer Ebene liegen, nicht aber auch durchgängig die Stromschienen (3c, 4c, ...) zur Verbindung der Anschlüsse (siehe Fig. 2).As different connection levels is also considered here, if the terminals (3a, 3b, ...) lie in a plane, but not throughout the busbars (3c, 4c, ...) for connecting the terminals (see Fig. 2 ).

Der Begriff der Stromschiene ist nicht zu eng zu fassen. Er umfasst im Sinne dieser Anmeldung nicht nur Schienen insbesondere aus Metall sondern beispielsweise auch Leiterbahnen oder drahtartige Leiter.The term busbar is not too narrow. For the purposes of this application, it does not only include rails, in particular made of metal, but also, for example, also strip conductors or wire-type conductors.

Nach Fig. 1 sind die Reihenklemmen zum Aufrasten auf eine Tragschiene 7 ausgelegt, an der sie mit einem Befestigungsfuß 8 festgerastet werden können.To Fig. 1 the terminal blocks are designed for snapping onto a mounting rail 7, where they can be locked with a mounting foot 8.

Jede der Reihenklemmen 2a, 2b, ... ist vorzugsweise in ihrem oberen, d.h. von der Tragschiene 7 abgewandt liegenden Bereich mit mehreren Steckplätzen 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 zur Aufnahme von Verbindern 17, 18 versehen. Nach Fig. 1 liegt dieser Bereich direkt mittig oberhalb der Tragschiene 7.Each of the terminal blocks 2a, 2b,... Is preferably provided with a plurality of slots 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 for receiving connectors 17, 18 in its upper region, ie facing away from the mounting rail 7 , To Fig. 1 this area is directly in the middle above the mounting rail. 7

Dabei sind jeweils zwei der Steckplätze zu einem Doppelsteckplatz zusammengefasst, was auf einfache Weise dadurch realisierbar ist, dass je zwei der Steckplätze 9, 10 bzw. 11, 12 usw. auf von der Tragschiene 7 bzw. unteren Seite der Reihenklemmen 2 verschiedenen weit entfernten Stufenebenen einer in sich gestuften Stromschiene 19 ausgebildet sind, die hierzu in diesen verschiedenen Ebenen Stecköffnungen 20, 21 aufweist.In each case, two of the slots are combined to form a double slot, which can be realized in a simple manner that two of the slots 9, 10 or 11, 12, etc. on different from the mounting rail 7 and lower side of the terminal blocks 2 far away levels a stepped busbar 19 are formed, which for this purpose has plug-in openings 20, 21 in these different levels.

Jede der Stromschienen 19 ist mit einer der Anschlussebenen 3 bis 6 verbunden, was beispielsweise über Stromschienenstücke 23 - 26 realisierbar ist, so dass nach Fig. 1 beispielhaft vier gestufte Stromschienen 19a- d vorgesehen sind, wobei jede der gestuften Stromschienen 19a - d über eines der vorzugsweise senkrecht zur Tragschiene verlaufenden Stromschienenstücke 23, 24, 25,26 mit jeweils einer der in verschiedenen Ebenen angeordneten Stromschienen 3c, 4c, 5c, 6 c verbunden ist.Each of the busbars 19 is connected to one of the connection levels 3 to 6, which can be realized, for example, via busbar pieces 23 - 26, so that after Fig. 1 By way of example, four stepped busbars 19a-d are provided, each of the stepped busbars 19a-d being preferably perpendicular to the mounting rail extending busbar pieces 23, 24, 25,26 with one of the arranged in different levels busbars 3c, 4c, 5c, 6 c is connected.

Nach Fig. 1 dienen beispielhaft die näher zur Tragschiene 12 liegenden Einstecköffnungen 21 zur Aufnahme der ersten Verbinder 17, die sich nach Art von Querverbindem in Anreihrichtung der Reihenklemmen bzw. in Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Tragschiene 7 "quer" bzw. "horizontal" erstrecken.To Fig. 1 serve as an example lying closer to the support rail 12 insertion openings 21 for receiving the first connector 17, which extend in the manner of Querverbindem in the direction of assembly of the terminal blocks or in the main extension direction of the support rail 7 "across" or "horizontally".

Die weiter von der Tragschiene 7 entfernt liegenden Einstecköffnungen 20 dienen dagegen zur Aufnahme der weiteren steckbaren Verbinder 18, die als "Vertikalverbinder" senkrecht zur Anreihrichtung der Reihenklemmen bzw. zur Haupterstreckungsrichtung der Tragschiene ausgerichtet werden und die dazu dienen, verschiedene Steckplätze innerhalb einer einzelnen Reihenklemmen und damit einzelne oder sämtliche der Stromschienen 3c, 4c, ... bzw. der Anschlussebenen 3, 4, 5, 6 innerhalb jeder Reihenklemme ("vertikal" genannt) miteinander zu verbinden.The further away from the mounting rail 7 insertion openings 20, however, serve to accommodate the other plug-in connector 18, which are aligned as a "vertical connector" perpendicular to the mounting direction of the terminal blocks or to the main extension direction of the mounting rail and serve to different slots within a single terminal blocks and in order to connect individual or all of the busbars 3c, 4c,... or the connection levels 3, 4, 5, 6 within each terminal (called "vertical").

Danach sind die Einstecköffnungen 20, 21 für die Verbinder 17, 18 matrixartig gruppiert sind.Thereafter, the insertion openings 20, 21 for the connectors 17, 18 are grouped like a matrix.

Durch die gestufte Ausgestaltung der Stromschienen 19 zur Aufnahme der Verbinder 17, 18 ist es auf einfache Weise möglich, jeweils zwei der Verbinder quasi kreuzend übereinander anzuordnen, so dass einerseits in Anreihrichtung und andererseits senkrecht zur Anreihrichtung Stromschienen bzw. Potentiale innerhalb der Reihenklemmenanordnung querverteilt werden können.Due to the stepped configuration of the busbars 19 for receiving the connectors 17, 18, it is possible in a simple manner to arrange two of the connectors so that they cross over one another, so that busbars or potentials within the terminal block arrangement can be distributed on the one hand in the arrangement direction and on the other hand perpendicularly to the arrangement direction ,

Die Verbinder 17, 18 sind vorzugsweise kammartig ausgestaltet und weisen jeweils einen Rückenbereich 17a, 18a und vorzugsweise abtrennbare Steckbereiche 17b, 18b auf, so dass durch Ausbrechen von Steckbereichen 17b verschiedenste Potentialverteilungen realisierbar sind.The connectors 17, 18 are preferably designed comb-like and each have a back region 17a, 18a and preferably detachable plug-in regions 17b, 18b, so that a wide variety of potential distributions can be realized by breaking out plug-in regions 17b.

Beispielsweise können mit einem Verbinder 17 mit vier Steckerbereichen 17b in Anreihrichtung X maximal vier Reihenklemmen 2a, 2b, ... in Anreihrichtung miteinander verbunden werden. Wenn jetzt noch jeweils einer der weiteren Verbinder 18 in jeder der vier Reihenklemmen 2a, 2b, ... angeordnet wird, der die Stromschienen 3c, 4c, ... innerhalb jeder der Reihenklemmen 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d miteinander verbindet, wird ein Potential auf einfache Weise an viele - hier sechzehn - Anschlüsse 3a, 3b, 4a, ... gelegt. Die Anzahl der Anschlüsse ist beispielhaft. Je Reihenklemme 2 können auch mehr oder weniger als acht Anschlüsse 3a, 3b; ... und/oder weniger oder mehr als vier Anschlussebenen 3 - 6 vorgesehen sein.For example, with a connector 17 with four connector areas 17b in the mounting direction X, a maximum of four terminal blocks 2a, 2b,... Can be connected to one another in the arrangement direction. Now, when one of each of the other connectors 18 is placed in each of the four terminal blocks 2a, 2b, ... interconnecting the bus bars 3c, 4c, ... within each of the terminal blocks 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, a single one is formed Potential in a simple manner to many - here sixteen - terminals 3a, 3b, 4a, ... laid. The number of connections is exemplary. Each terminal 2 may also have more or less than eight terminals 3a, 3b; ... and / or less than or more than four connection levels 3 - 6 can be provided.

Es ist zudem denkbar, an der Oberseite oder in/an den Seitenbereichen der Reihenklemmen weitere Verbinder vorzusehen.It is also conceivable to provide further connectors at the top or in / at the side regions of the terminal blocks.

Fig. 2 zeigt als Alternative insbesondere zu Fig. 1 einen steckerartigen Verbinderaufsatzblock 27, der hier aus vier Aufsatzklemmen 28a, 28b, ... besteht, die zu dem Querverbindungsblock zusammengefasst sind, der als Ganzes auf eine Reihenklemmenanordnung mit einer entsprechenden Ausnehmung und entsprechenden Anschlüssen aufrastbar ist (letztere hier nicht dargestellt). Dabei sind die Stromschienen 19 jeweils mit hier beispielhaft in Richtung zur Reihenklemme hin (in Fig. 2 unten) tulpenartigen Steckbereichen 29 versehen, die zur Kontaktierung korrespondierender Steckbereiche beispielsweise an einer Reihenklemmenanordnung (hier nicht dargestellt) nutzbar sind. Fig. 2 shows as an alternative in particular to Fig. 1 a plug-type connector attachment block 27, here consisting of four attachment clamps 28a, 28b, ..., which are combined to form the cross-connection block, which can be latched onto a terminal block arrangement with a corresponding recess and corresponding terminals (the latter not shown here). In this case, the busbars 19 are each here with an example in the direction of the terminal block out (in Fig. 2 below) tulip-like plug-in areas 29 are provided, which can be used for contacting corresponding plug-in areas, for example on a terminal block arrangement (not shown here).

Der Verbinderaufsatzblock 27 weist wenigstens einen vorzugsweise ansteckbaren oder angeformten Rasthaken 30 zur Verrastung insbesondere auf einem korrespondierend ausgebildeten Reihenklemmenblock auf.The connector attachment block 27 has at least one preferably attachable or integrally formed latching hook 30 for latching, in particular on a correspondingly formed terminal block.

Die Möglichkeiten zur Querverteilung an den Stromschienen 19 entsprechen ansonsten denen des Ausführungsbeispiels der Fig. 2. Eine Abdeckung 42 dient insbesondere als Staubschutz.The possibilities for transverse distribution at the busbars 19 otherwise correspond to those of the embodiment of Fig. 2 , A cover 42 serves in particular as dust protection.

In Fig. 3 wird eine zu einer Reihenklemmenanordnung reihbare Reihenklemme 43 dargestellt, in der übereinander liegende Stromschienen 3c - 6c "vertikal" verbindbar sind.In Fig. 3 shows a row terminal 43 which can be connected to a terminal block arrangement, in which bus bars 3c-6c lying one above the other can be connected "vertically".

Die Anschlüsse 3 a, 4a, der Reihenklemmen sind hier ansonsten als Stifte 39 ausgebildet, die mit Steckern 40 einzeln oder als Gruppe einfach kontaktierbar sind.The terminals 3 a, 4 a, the terminal blocks are otherwise formed here as pins 39 which are easily contactable with plugs 40 individually or as a group.

Verbinder 17 zur Querverbindung der Reihenklemmen 43a in Anreihrichtung sind auf Steckplätze 44 hier im seitlichen Bereich der Isoliergehäuse steckbar. Derart ist bei der Reihenklemmenanordnung der Fig. 3 wiederum eine "horizontale" Potential-Querverteilung nicht nur in Anreihrichtung sondern auch eine "vertikale" Potential-Querverteilung innerhalb jeder der Reihenklemmen 43a, 43b, ... vorgesehen, so dass wiederum auch eine Potentialverteilung in Anreihrichtung über mehrere Reihenklemmen hinweg und auch über die verschiedenen Ebenen von Stromschienen innerhalb jeder Stromschiene realisierbar ist. Bezugszeichen Reihenklemmenanordnung 1 Reihenklemmen 2a, 2b, ... Anschlüsse 3a, 3b; 4a, 4b, ... Stromschienen 3c, 4c, ...
