Die erfindungsgemäße elektrische Geräteeinheit 1 ist für den Einsatz in gefährdeten, insbesondere explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen vorgesehen und umfasst ein Rahmengehäuse 2, ein Modulgehäuse 3 und einen Betätiger 4, der einer lösbaren Verriegelung des in das Rahmengehäuse 2 einsteckbaren Modulgehäuses 3 zugehörig ist.The electrical appliance unit 1 according to the invention is intended for use in endangered, in particular potentially explosive areas and comprises a frame housing 2, a module housing 3 and an actuator 4, which is associated with a detachable locking of the module housing 3 which can be inserted into the frame housing 2.

Das Rahmengehäuse 2 besitzt einen Grundkörper 5, der an einer im Querschnitt ungefähr U-förmigen Hutschiene 6 lösbar befestigbar ist. Für die lösbare Befestigung des Rahmengehäuses 2 ist am Grundkörper 5 eine Rastvorrichtung 7 vorgesehen, die an dem Grundkörper 5 quer zur Längsrichtung der Hutschiene 6 verschiebbar gelagert ist. An der der Rastvorrichtung 7 gegenüberliegenden Seite der Hutschiene 6 weist der Grundkörper 5 eine Steckeraufnahme 8 auf, die mehrere auf Abstand zueinander angeordnete Kontaktbuchsen 9 besitzt. Die Kontaktbuchsen 9 sind von einer Begrenzungswand 10 umfasst, die zweckmäßig von vier rechtwinklig zueinander angeordneten Wänden gebildet ist, so dass die Steckeraufnahme 8 im Querschnitt im Wesentlichen rechteckförmig ist.The frame housing 2 has a main body 5, which is releasably attachable to a cross-sectionally approximately U-shaped DIN rail 6.

At the locking device 7 opposite side of the top hat rail 6, the main body 5 has a connector receptacle 8, which has a plurality of spaced apart contact sockets 9. The contact bushes 9 are surrounded by a boundary wall 10, which is expediently formed by four walls arranged at right angles to each other, so that the plug receptacle 8 is substantially rectangular in cross-section.

Jede einzelne Kontaktbuchse 9 befindet sich in einem elektrisch nicht leitenden Isolierkörper 11, der als etwa kreisförmiger Zylinder ausgeführt sein kann. Der Isolierkörper 11 kann deutlich länger, vorzugsweise ungefähr doppelt so lang sein wie die Kontaktbuchse 9, die zweckmäßig im unteren Teil des Isolierkörpers 11 angeordnet ist, so dass ein Einführteil 12 des Isolierkörpers 11 die Buchsenöffnung 13 der Kontaktbuchse 9 erheblich überragt. Der Einführteil 12 des Isolierkörpers 11 besitzt eine koaxial zur Kontaktbuchse 9 angeordnete Einführbohrung 14, in die ein Kontaktstift 15 einführbar ist. Um das Einbringen der Kontaktstifte 15 in die Einführbohrungen 14 zu erleichtern, können die Isolierkörper 11 mit den Kontaktbuchsen 9 in der Steckeraufnahme 8 schwimmend gelagert sein. An den Kontaktbuchsen 9 können zudem hülsenförmige Anschlussteile 16 ausgebildet sein, die aus der Steckeraufnahme 8 herausragen und an denen elektrische Leitungen zum Beispiel durch Löt- oder Quetschverbindungen kontaktiert werden können.Each individual contact socket 9 is located in an electrically non-conductive insulating body 11, which may be designed as an approximately circular cylinder. The insulating body 11 can be significantly longer, preferably about twice as long as the female contact 9, which is expediently arranged in the lower part of the insulating body 11, so that an insertion part 12 of the insulating body 11, the female opening 13 of the female contact 9 significantly surmounted.

Die Umfangswand 25 umgibt die auf Abstand zueinander angeordneten Kontaktstifte 15, die mit den innerhalb des Modulgehäuses 3 befindlichen elektrischen oder elektronischen Einbauteilen elektrisch leitend verbunden sind. Der Durchmesser der Kontaktstifte 15 ist so gewählt, dass er geringfügig kleiner ist als der Durchmesser der Einführbohrung 14 des Isolierkörpers 11 im Rahmengehäuse 2. Wenn der Stecker 24 in die Steckeraufnahme 8 eingeführt ist, besteht zwischen der Umfangsfläche der Kontaktstifte 15 und der Innenfläche der Einführbohrungen 14 jeweils ein durch die DIN EN 50018 und DIN EN 60079 definierter zünddurchschlagsicherer Spalt 33.The module housing 3 is formed substantially as a rectangular body and has on the frame housing 2 facing the underside of a plug 24 which is bounded by a peripheral wall 25 formed of four mutually perpendicular wall parts. The plug 24 with the peripheral wall 25 is thus substantially rectangular in cross-section. The peripheral wall 25 surrounds the mutually spaced contact pins 15, which are electrically connected to the located within the module housing 3 electrical or electronic components. The diameter of the contact pins 15 is selected so that it is slightly smaller than the diameter of the insertion hole 14 of the insulating body 11 in the frame housing 2. When the plug 24 is inserted into the connector receptacle 8, there is between the peripheral surface of the contact pins 15 and Inner surface of the insertion holes 14 each one defined by the DIN EN 50018 and DIN EN 60079 Zünddurchschlagicherer gap 33rd

An beabstandeten parallelen Seitenwänden 26, 27 des Modulgehäuses 3 ist je ein Verriegelungszapfen 28 angeordnet, die einander gegenüberliegend in entgegengesetzten Richtungen und nach außen hin vorstehen. Außerdem befindet sich an den Außenseiten der Seitenwände 26, 27 gegenüberliegend je ein Steg 29. Ein Wandteil 30 der Seitenwände 26, 27 ist etwas nach innen zurückgesetzt und durch eine etwa wellenförmige Randkontur 31 begrenzt. Entsprechend dieser Randkontur 31 weisen die Außenränder der Stützwände 17, 18 eine ebenfalls etwa wellenförmige Stirnseitenkontur 32 auf, die in der in FIG. 8 dargestellten Endmontagestellung mit der Randkontur 31 korrespondiert. Die Tiefe der zurückgesetzten Wandteile 30 entspricht etwa der Dicke der Stützwände 17, 18, die an den Wandteilen 30 anliegen.At spaced parallel side walls 26, 27 of the module housing 3, a respective locking pin 28 is arranged, which project opposite each other in opposite directions and outwardly. In addition, located on the outer sides of the side walls 26, 27 each opposite a web 29. A wall portion 30 of the side walls 26, 27 is slightly set back inwards and bounded by an approximately wavy edge contour 31. According to this edge contour 31, the outer edges of the support walls 17, 18 have a likewise approximately wavy front side contour 32, which in the in FIG. 8th shown final assembly position corresponds to the edge contour 31. The depth of the recessed wall portions 30 corresponds approximately to the thickness of the support walls 17, 18 which bear against the wall portions 30.

Der Betätiger 4 weist zwei einander beabstandete parallele Schenkel 34, 35 und einen Griffteil 36 auf, der etwas gebogen sein kann und die Schenkel 34, 35 verbindet, so dass der Betätiger 4 im Wesentlichen als U-förmiger Bügel ausgebildet ist. Der Betätiger 4 ist an den Stützwänden 17, 18 des Rahmengehäuses 2 angeordnet und schwenkbar gelagert. Dazu ist an den Innenseiten der Schenkel 34, 35 an deren freien Enden je ein Lagerteil 37 angeordnet, die einander spiegelsymmetrisch gegenüberliegen und je eine Führungsnut 38 aufweisen. Die Lagerteile 37 sind als kreisringförmige Scheiben ausgebildet und sind formschlüssig in den Lageraufnahmen 20 der Stützwände 17, 18 gelagert, wobei die Mittenachsen der kreisringförmigen Lagerteile 37 die Schwenkachse des Betätigers 4 bilden.The actuator 4 has two spaced apart parallel legs 34, 35 and a handle portion 36, which may be slightly bent and the legs 34, 35 connects, so that the actuator 4 is substantially formed as a U-shaped bracket. The actuator 4 is arranged on the support walls 17, 18 of the frame housing 2 and pivotally mounted. For this purpose, a bearing part 37 is disposed on each of the inner sides of the legs 34, 35 at their free ends, which lie opposite each other in mirror symmetry and each have a guide groove 38. The bearing parts 37 are formed as annular discs and are positively mounted in the bearing receivers 20 of the support walls 17, 18, wherein the center axes of the annular bearing parts 37 form the pivot axis of the actuator 4.

Neben dem Umfangsbereich der Lagerteile 37 ist an den Schenkeln 34, 35 des Betätigers 4 je eine Sperrteilaufnahme 52 ausgebildet, in welche die Sperrteile 51 der Stützwände 17, 18 formschlüssig eingreifen, und zwar so, dass der Betätiger 4 sowohl in seinen Endstellungen als auch während des Verschwenkens unlösbar gehalten ist und nicht entfernt werden kann.In addition to the peripheral region of the bearing parts 37, a respective locking part receptacle 52 is formed on the legs 34, 35 of the actuator 4, in which the locking parts 51 of the support walls 17, 18 positively engage, in such a way that the actuator 4 both in its end positions and during the pivoting is held insoluble and can not be removed.

Die Führungsnuten 38 sind ungefähr radial in dem Lagerteil 37 ausgebildet und verlaufen von einer am Umfangsrand der Lagerteile 37 ausgebildeten Einführöffnung 39 ungefähr halbkreisförmig in Richtung zur Mittenachse des Lagerteils 37. Die Breite der Führungsnuten 38 ist so bemessen, dass sie etwa gleich oder nur geringfügig größer ist als der Durchmesser der Verriegelungszapfen 28, so dass letztere in den Führungsnuten 38 weitgehend spielfrei geführt sind. Außerdem befinden sich an den Innenseiten der beiden Schenkel 34, 35 des Betätigers 4 zwei einander spiegelbildlich gegenüberliegende Widerlager 40, die an einem Anschlag 41 der Rastnocken 23 anliegen. Den Widerlagern 40 ist für den Rastnocken 23 eine Auflaufschräge 42 vorgeordnet und eine Ausnehmung 43 nachgeordnet. Weiterhin weist der Betätiger 4 an seinen Schenkeln 34, 35 nasenförmige Vorsprünge 44 auf, die an ihren Innenseiten einander spiegelbildlich gegenüberliegende Verriegelungskanten 45 besitzen. In der Verschlussposition des Betätigers 4 übergreifen die Vorsprünge 44 jeweils einen Wandungsteil 46, die an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Rastvorrichtung 7 ausgebildet sind. Die Wandungsteile 46 besitzen eine Sperrkante 47, die an der Verriegelungskante 45 anliegt, wodurch ein unbeabsichtigtes Verschieben der Rastvorrichtung 23 in eine Öffnungsstellung verhindert ist.The guide grooves 38 are formed approximately radially in the bearing part 37 and extend from a formed at the peripheral edge of the bearing members 37 insertion opening 39 is approximately semicircular in the direction of the center axis of the bearing part 37. The width of the guide grooves 38 is dimensioned so that they are about the same or only slightly larger is as the diameter of the locking pin 28, so that the latter are guided largely free of play in the guide grooves 38. In addition, located on the inner sides of the two legs 34, 35 of the actuator 4, two mutually mirror-image opposing abutment 40, which bear against a stop 41 of the locking cam 23. The abutments 40 is arranged upstream of the locking cam 23 a ramp 52 and a recess 43 downstream. Furthermore, the actuator 4 on its legs 34, 35 nose-shaped projections 44 which have on their inner sides mutually mirror-inverted locking edges 45. In the closed position of the actuator 4, the projections 44 each overlap a wall portion 46, which are formed on opposite sides of the latching device 7. The wall parts 46 have a locking edge 47, which bears against the locking edge 45, whereby unintentional displacement of the locking device 23 is prevented in an open position.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 befindet sich das Modulgehäuse 3 der Geräteeinheit 1, deren Rahmengehäuse 2 mittels der Rastvorrichtung 7 an der Hutschiene 6 befestigt ist, in einer ersten Montageposition. Dabei ist der Betätiger 4 im Uhrzeigersinn ganz nach hinten in eine begrenzte Öffnungsposition geschwenkt, wobei die Eintrittsöffnungen 21 der Stützwände 17, 18 und die Einführöffnungen 39 der Lagerteile 37 deckungsgleich sind. Das Modulgehäuse 3 ist in den von den Stützwänden 17, 18 und der Stirnwand 19 dreiseitig begrenzten Aufnahmeraum des Rahmengehäuses 2 so eingesetzt, dass sich die Stege 29 dicht über den Längsnuten 22 und die Verriegelungszapfen 28 in einem etwas größeren Abstand über den Eintritts- und Einführöffnungen 21, 39 befinden. Die FIG. 3 zeigt, dass in dieser ersten Montageposition der Abstand des Modulgehäuses 3 über dem Rahmengehäuse 2 so groß ist, dass der Stecker 24 ebenfalls noch einen deutlichen Abstand zu der Steckeraufnahme 8 des Rahmengehäuses 2 aufweist.In the FIGS. 2 and 3 is the module housing 3 of the device unit 1, the frame housing 2 by means of the locking device. 7 is attached to the DIN rail 6, in a first mounting position. The actuator 4 is pivoted clockwise all the way back to a limited opening position, wherein the inlet openings 21 of the support walls 17, 18 and the insertion openings 39 of the bearing parts 37 are congruent. The module housing 3 is in the three sides of the support walls 17, 18 and the end wall 19 limited receiving space of the frame housing 2 inserted so that the webs 29 tight over the longitudinal grooves 22 and the locking pin 28 at a slightly greater distance above the inlet and insertion 21, 39 are located. The FIG. 3 shows that in this first mounting position, the distance of the module housing 3 on the frame housing 2 is so large that the plug 24 also still has a significant distance from the connector receptacle 8 of the frame housing 2.

Der FIG. 4 ist zu entnehmen, dass das Modulgehäuse 3 gegenüber den Darstellungen der Figuren 2 und 3 weiter in Richtung nach unten in den Aufnahmeraum des Rahmengehäuses 2 hineingedrückt bzw. hineingeschoben worden ist, wobei die Stege 29 in den Längsnuten 22 weitgehend spielfrei geführt sind und somit eine einwandfreie Verschiebung in die dargestellte zweite Montageposition gewährleisten. Der Betätiger 4 befindet sich noch immer in seiner ganz nach hinten geschwenkten Öffnungsposition und die Verriegelungszapfen 28 sind durch die Eintrittsöffnungen 21 und Einführöffnungen 39 hindurchgeführt worden. Sie befinden sich jetzt am Anfang der teilkreisförmigen Führungsnuten 38 der Lagerteile 37. Ein weiteres Hineindrücken bzw. Hinunterdrücken des Modulgehäuses 3 in Richtung gegen das Rahmengehäuse 2 ist nunmehr nicht mehr möglich. Das Modulgehäuse 3 kann jetzt nur noch durch Verschwenken des Betätigers 4 weiter in Richtung gegen das Rahmengehäuse 2 verlagert werden.Of the FIG. 4 can be seen that the module housing 3 with respect to the representations of FIGS. 2 and 3 further in the direction of down into the receiving space of the frame housing 2 has been pushed or pushed in, wherein the webs 29 are guided in the longitudinal grooves 22 largely free of play and thus ensure a proper shift in the illustrated second mounting position. The actuator 4 is still in its fully rearwardly pivoted opening position and the locking pins 28 have been passed through the inlet openings 21 and 39 insertion. You are now at the beginning of the part-circular guide grooves 38 of the bearing parts 37. Another pushing in or pushing down the module housing 3 in the direction against the frame housing 2 is now no longer possible. The module housing 3 can now be moved only in the direction of the frame housing 2 by pivoting the actuator 4.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 offenbaren, dass der Betätiger 4 gegenüber der Darstellung der FIG. 4 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn etwas verschwenkt wurde. Gemäß der FIG. 5 sind damit auch die Einführöffnungen 39 der Lagerteile 37 nicht mehr deckungsgleich mit den Eintrittsöffnungen 21 der Stützwände 17, 18, so dass die Verriegelungszapfen 28 innerhalb der Führungsnuten 38 nunmehr oben übergriffen sind. In dieser Montageposition ist das Modulgehäuse 3 durch den formschlüssigen Übergriff der Verriegelungszapfen 38 also bereits derart gesichert, dass es beispielsweise durch einen explosionsartigen Gegendruck nicht mehr von dem Rahmengehäuse 2 weg in Richtung nach oben gedrückt werden kann.The Figures 5 and 6 disclose that the actuator 4 with respect to the representation of FIG. 4 was pivoted slightly counterclockwise. According to the FIG. 5 Thus, the insertion openings 39 of the bearing parts 37 are no longer congruent with the inlet openings 21 of the support walls 17, 18, so that the locking pins 28 are now overlapped above the guide grooves 38. In this mounting position, the module housing 3 is thus already secured by the positive engagement of the locking pin 38 so that it can no longer be pushed away from the frame housing 2, for example, by an explosive counter-pressure in the upward direction.

Wie der FIG. 6 zu entnehmen ist, ist in dieser Montageposition der Stecker 24 des Modulgehäuses 3 bereits teilweise in die Steckeraufnahme 8 des Rahmengehäuses 2 eingeführt. Dabei ist die Umfangswand 25 des Steckers 24 ungefähr zur Hälfte in eine schlitzförmige Aussparung 48 eingeführt, die vorzugsweise in der Begrenzungswand 10 der Steckeraufnahme 8 ausgebildet ist. Die vergrößerte Darstellung in FIG. 7 macht deutlich, dass die Kontaktstifte 15 sich zunächst lediglich in den Einführbohrungen 14 der Isolierkörper 11 befinden und noch nicht mit den Kontaktbuchsen 9 korrespondieren. Zwischen den freien Enden der Kontaktstifte 15 und den Buchsenöffnungen 13 der Kontaktbuchsen 9 besteht ein axialer Mindestkontaktabstand 49, der den Vorschriften der DIN EN 50018 und DIN EN 60079 entspricht.Again FIG. 6 can be seen, the plug 24 of the module housing 3 is already partially inserted into the connector receptacle 8 of the frame housing 2 in this mounting position. In this case, the peripheral wall 25 of the plug 24 is inserted approximately halfway into a slot-shaped recess 48, which is preferably formed in the boundary wall 10 of the connector receptacle 8. The enlarged view in FIG. 7 makes it clear that the contact pins 15 are initially only in the insertion holes 14 of the insulating body 11 and not yet correspond with the contact sockets 9. Between the free ends of the contact pins 15 and the socket openings 13 of the contact sockets 9 there is an axial minimum contact distance 49, which corresponds to the requirements of DIN EN 50018 and DIN EN 60079.

In den FIG. 8 und 9 ist die Endmontagestellung der Geräteeinheit 1 dargestellt. Der Betätiger 4 ist in Richtung gegen den Uhrzeigersinn geschwenkt worden und befindet sich in seiner horizontalen Verschlussposition. Während des Verschwenkens glitten die Auflaufschrägen 42 des Betätigers 4 kurz vor Erreichen der Verschlussposition über die Rastnocken 23 der Stützwände 17, 18, bis dann am Ende der Schwenkbewegung die Rastnocken 23 in die Ausnehmungen 43 des Betätigers 4 einschnappten, so dass die Widerlager 40 an den Anschlägen 41 der Rastnocken 23 anliegen. Dadurch ist ein unbeabsichtigtes Hochschwenken des Betätigers 4 im Uhrzeigersinn mit Sicherheit unterbunden und eine stabile Fixierung der Verschlussposition gewährleistet. Außerdem wurden durch das Verschwenken des Betätigers 4 die in den halbkreisförmigen Führungsnuten 38 formschlüssig gelagerten und somit zwangsgeführten Verriegelungszapfen 28 in Richtung nach unten zum Rahmengehäuse 2 hin und gleichzeitig auch zum Ende der Führungsnuten 38 hin verschoben. In dieser Endlage sind die Verriegelungszapfen 38 vorzugsweise koaxial mit der Schwenkachse des Betätigers 4. Da die Verriegelungszapfen 38 an dem Modulgehäuse 3 ortsfest angeordnet sind, ist letzteres selbstverständlich auch in Richtung nach unten gegen das Rahmengehäuse 2 in seine Endlage verschoben worden. In der dargestellten Verschlussposition des Betätigers 4 übergreifen dessen Vorsprünge 44 die Wandungsteile 46 der Rastvorrichtung 7. Dabei liegen die Sperrkanten 47 der Wandungsteile 46 an den Verriegelungskanten 45 der Vorsprünge 44 an und verhindern somit das horizontale Verschieben der Rastvorrichtung 7 in der Ebene des Grundkörpers 5.In the FIG. 8 and 9 the final assembly position of the unit 1 is shown. The actuator 4 has been pivoted in the counterclockwise direction and is in its horizontal closed position. During the pivoting the run-on slopes 42 of the actuator 4 slid over shortly before reaching the closure position the locking cams 23 of the support walls 17, 18, until then snapped the locking cam 23 into the recesses 43 of the actuator 4 at the end of the pivoting movement, so that the abutment 40 abut the stops 41 of the locking cam 23. As a result, an unintentional pivoting up of the actuator 4 in the clockwise direction is prevented with certainty and ensures a stable fixation of the closure position. In addition, by the pivoting of the actuator 4 in the semicircular guide grooves 38 positively mounted and thus forcibly guided locking pin 28 in the direction down to the frame housing 2 towards and simultaneously moved to the end of the guide 38. In this end position, the locking pins 38 are preferably coaxial with the pivot axis of the actuator 4. Since the locking pins 38 are fixedly mounted on the module housing 3, the latter has of course been moved in the downward direction against the frame housing 2 in its final position. In the illustrated locking position of the actuator 4 whose projections 44 engage over the wall parts 46 of the locking device 7. The locking edges 47 of the wall parts 46 abut against the locking edges 45 of the projections 44 and thus prevent the horizontal displacement of the locking device 7 in the plane of the base body fifth

Der FIG. 9 ist zu entnehmen, dass die Umfangswand 25 des Steckers 24 nunmehr vollkommen bis zum Grund der schlitzförmigen Aussparung 48 der Steckeraufnahme 8 eingeschoben ist. Und weiterhin zeigt die FIG. 9 und insbesondere die vergrößerte Darstellung in FIG. 10, dass die Kontaktstifte 15 des Steckers 24 in den Kontaktbuchsen 9 der Steckeraufnahme 8 über eine axiale Mindestkontaktstrecke 50 eingesteckt sind, so dass eine dauerhaft zuverlässige Kontaktierung gegeben ist.Of the FIG. 9 It can be seen that the peripheral wall 25 of the plug 24 is now fully inserted to the bottom of the slot-shaped recess 48 of the connector receptacle 8. And continues to show FIG. 9 and in particular the enlarged view in FIG FIG. 10 in that the contact pins 15 of the plug 24 are plugged into the contact sockets 9 of the plug receptacle 8 via an axial minimum contact path 50, so that a permanently reliable contacting is provided.

Wenn das Modulgehäuse 3 zum Beispiel im Falle eines Defekts bei laufendem Betrieb ausgetauscht werden soll, ist in umgekehrter Weise als beim zuvor beschriebenen Montagevorgang vorzugehen. Das heißt, dass zunächst die Sicherung der Verschlussposition des Betätigers 4 aufgehoben werden muss. Dann ist der Betätiger 4 im Uhrzeigersinn in die in FIG. 2 dargestellte Öffnungsposition zu schwenken, wobei das Modulgehäuse 3 durch die exzentrische Verriegelungszapfenführung weg von dem Rahmengehäuse 2 in Richtung nach oben verlagert und die Steckverbindung entkuppelt wird. Nach dem Erreichen der Öffnungsposition des Betätigers 4 kann das Modulgehäuse 3 von Hand in Richtung nach oben aus dem Aufnahmeraum des Rahmengehäuses 2 herausgezogen und ein neues eingeschoben werden.If the module housing 3 is to be replaced, for example, in the event of a defect during operation, proceed in the reverse manner as in the assembly operation described above. This means that first the securing of the closure position of the actuator 4 must be canceled. Then the actuator 4 is clockwise in the in FIG. 2 to pivot shown opening position, wherein the module housing 3 displaced by the eccentric locking pin guide away from the frame housing 2 in the upward direction and the connector is disengaged. After reaching the opening position of the actuator 4, the module housing 3 can be pulled out by hand in the upward direction from the receiving space of the frame housing 2 and a new inserted.

Ein Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Geräteeinheit 1 besteht darin, dass in kritischer explosionsgefährdeter Umgebung das aktive Modul, also das Modulgehäuse 3 mit den elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteilen, im Betriebszustand gefahrlos gewechselt werden kann, ohne die Anlage abzuschalten. Es müssen dazu keine durch Anschlussleitungen fest verbundene Kontaktierungen gelöst werden, sondern alle Anschlüsse bleiben mit dem Grundgehäuse, dem Rahmengehäuse 2, verbunden. Weder beim Einstecken noch beim Entfernen des Modulgehäuses 3 können im Innenbereich der Steckverbindung entstehende Funken auf Grund der vorbeschriebenen Maßnahmen nach außen durchschlagen und eine explosive Umgebungsatmosphäre zur Entzündung bringen, so dass insgesamt eine hohe Sicherheit gegeben ist.An advantage of the device unit 1 according to the invention is that in critical explosive environment, the active module, so the module housing 3 with the electrical and / or electronic components, can be changed safely in the operating state without shutting down the system. It need to be solved by connecting lines fixed contacts, but all connections remain connected to the base housing, the frame housing 2. Neither when plugging in nor when removing the module housing 3 can sparks arising in the interior of the connector sparks due to the above measures to the outside and bring an explosive ambient atmosphere to ignite, so that overall high security is given.
