Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable connection element having a screw, a clamping element through which the screw is inserted, and a connection element which is provided with a threaded bore into which the screw is to be screwed.
  • Cable lugs are known in numerous different embodiments. There are, for example, angle tube, ring, tube, solder, fork and pin cable lugs. Cable lugs are used for mechanical and electrical connection of a stripped conductor end, wherein the conductor is designed to guide an electric current. The cable lug and the cable end are preferably squeezed together using a crimping tool.
  • a very common embodiment of a cable lug is the ring cable lug. At the free end of this carries a ring-shaped and provided with an opening end piece. This end piece is attached to the terminal device by being underlaid in the manner of a washer of the clamping screw.
  • the use of a ring cable lug is advantageous in that as a result of the ring-like clamping screw surrounding end piece accidental loss of contact between the conductor and the terminal device is practically impossible even with loosely fitting clamping screw.
  • a commonly used connector type has a clamping screw whose threaded shaft can be screwed into a threaded hole in a fixed connector. Between the threaded part of the shaft and the head of the screw, a bracket is mounted captive.
  • the consisting of screw and bracket unit is arranged in the interior of a recess which is provided in a body consisting of an insulating material and whose dimensions allow a straight-line movement of the bracket when screwing in and out of the screw.
  • the recess is accessible from the outside through an opening which is opposite to the screw head and is provided in the body or in a clamp cover attached thereto.
  • the electrical wire enters between the threaded shaft of the screw and a wall of the recess and is clamped by straight-line movement of the bracket, which results from the screwed, between the bracket and the connecting part.
  • the captive screw is usually ensured by a stop attached to the body, to which the screw or the bracket at the end of the screw comes to a stop and is axially blocked.
  • the object of the present invention is accordingly to provide a cable connection element which is suitable both for the connection of a ring cable lug and for the direct connection of a conductor.
  • this object is achieved by a cable connection element having a screw, a clamping element through which the screw is inserted, and a connection element which is provided with a threaded bore in which the screw is to be screwed.
  • the connection element for receiving a ring cable lug is formed by clamping. It is envisaged to insert the screw through the clamping element and then screwed into the threaded holes of the connecting element, wherein the connecting element has previously received the annular part of a ring terminal lug terminal, so that the screw is also guided through the annular part of the ring cable lug.
  • the screw has two threaded portions on the shaft, wherein the first threaded portion is disposed directly below the screw head, whereby a fixation of the clamping element is made possible.
  • the second threaded portion is spaced from the screw head and the first threaded portion arranged on the shaft and allows the screw on the connection element, in which the ring cable lug is arranged by clamping.
  • the clamping element is preferably roof-shaped and allows the direct clamping connection of a conductor without a lug by the conductor between the connection element and clamping element is clamped.
  • the roof-shaped design of the clamping element has the advantage that the cable can not slip out of the clamping arrangement, as would be possible in a flat embodiment to the edge of the clamping element out.
  • connection element has a U-shaped basic body with two legs, which have the same position one above the other, the threaded hole.
  • the U-shaped body of the connecting element allows that between the legs of the annular split cable lug can be jammed and thus a prefixing of the ring cable lug is created.
  • the cable connection element according to the invention advantageously offers the possibility of directly connecting a ring cable lug or a conductor, wherein the loss of the screw is avoided and a complete unscrewing when clamping the ring lug connection is not required.
  • the cable connection element according to the invention is preferably used in circuit breakers.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a cable connection element 1 according to the invention with a ring cable lug connection 2, which has a screw 3, a clamping element 4 and a connection element 5.
  • the screw 3 is inserted through a threaded hole 6 in the preferably roof-shaped clamping element 4 and has two threaded portions 7, 8.
  • the first threaded portion 7 is disposed directly below the screw head 9 and fixes the clamping element 4.
  • the second threaded portion 8 of the screw 3 is spaced from the screw head 9 and the threaded portion 7 at the shaft end 10 is arranged.
  • the threaded portion 8 opens into threaded holes 11 which are arranged in the connection element 5.
  • the connecting element 5 has an upper part 12, which is preferably U-shaped and has two mutually parallel legs 13, 14, in which the same position, the threaded holes 11 are arranged one above the other.
  • the legs 13, 14 are spaced apart and thus allow the inclusion of the annular portion 15 of the ring cable lug terminal 2 in the form of a clamping, wherein the screw 3 is also guided through the annular part 15 of the ring cable lug 2.
  • the terminal 5 also has a lower part 16, which is preferably angled at a 90 ° angle from the leg 14 and serves as a connection tongue.
  • the ring cable lug connection 2 in addition to the annular part 15, also has a preferably tubular cable lug 17, which has a recess 18. The recess 18, after the conductor has been passed through the tubular cable lug 17, be closed with a pair of pliers, so that the conductor is firmly fixed in the cable lug 17.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the cable lug element 1 with direct connection of a conductor 19.
  • the conductor 19 has a stripped portion, which rests on the leg 13 of the connecting element 5.
  • the fixation of the stripped portion 20 of the conductor 19 via the preferably roof-shaped clamping element 4, the in the fixed state by the screw 3 is fixedly disposed on the conductor 19.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the cable connection element 1 in an electrical device 21, preferably a circuit breaker, without ring lug connection 2.
  • the pre-fixed by the screw 3 clamping element 4 can be additionally held in position by guide rails 22 which are arranged in the housing 23 of the electrical device 21 , whereby the entire cable connection element 1 is subject to a prefixing.
  • Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the cable connection element 1 in an electrical device 21 with ring cable lug connection 2. Due to the prefixing by the clamping element 4 in the guide rails 22 of the housing 23 a complete unscrewing during insertion of the ring cable lug 2 is not required.
  • the cable connection element allows by its bifunctional design both the connection of a ring cable lug and the direct connection of a conductor.
