Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Markieren einer Reihenklemmenanordnung aus einzelnen, auf eine Montagebasis, die eine Tragschiene ist, montierten Reihenklemmen.The invention relates to a method for marking a terminal block assembly of individual, mounted on a mounting base, which is a support rail, mounted terminal blocks.

Es ist bekannt, Reihenklemmen mit Rastmitteln, insbesondere einer oder mehreren Rastnuten, zu versehen, die in ihrem Zusammenspiel bei einer auf eine Tragschiene aufgerasteten Reihenklemmenanordnung einen sich über mehrere der Reihenklemmen erstreckenden Rastkanal ausbilden.It is known to provide terminal blocks with latching means, in particular one or more latching grooves, which form in their interaction in a latched onto a mounting rail terminal block assembly extending over a plurality of terminal blocks latching channel.

In die Rastnuten können sodann Markierer, d.h. in der Regel kleine Kunststoffschildchen mit Rastfüßen zum Eingriff in die Rastnut(en) aufgerastet werden.Markers, i. As a rule, small plastic labels with locking feet for engagement in the locking groove (s) are snapped.

Zum Stand der Technik werden die US 4,637,676 und die GB 2 260 654 genannt.The state of the art is the US 4,637,676 and the GB 2 260 654 called.

Diese Handhabung hat sich zwar an sich bewährt, ist aber in Hinsicht auf eine nachträgliche Beschriftung einer bereits auf eine Tragschiene montierten Reihenklemmenanordnung ungeeignet.Although this handling has proved itself, it is unsuitable with regard to subsequent labeling of a terminal arrangement already mounted on a DIN rail.

Die Lösung dieses Problems ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung.The solution to this problem is the object of the invention.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1.

Die Erfindung schafft zunächst ein Verfahren zum Markieren einer Reihenklemmenanordnung aus einzelnen, auf eine Montagebasis, die eine Tragschiene ist, montierten Reihenklemmen, wobei auf die Reihenklemmenanordnung nach der Montage auf der Tragschiene eine aushärtbare Kunststoff-Formmasse aufgebracht wird, die nach ihrem Aushärten eine sich über mehr als eine Reihenklemmen der Reihenklemmenanordnung erstreckende Markierfläche ausbildet. Sodann wird die Markierfläche nach ihrem Aushärten mit einer Beschriftung versehen.The invention first provides a method for marking a terminal block assembly of individual, on a mounting base, which is a mounting rail, mounted terminal blocks, wherein on the terminal block assembly after mounting on the mounting rail, a curable plastic molding compound is applied, which after curing over a forming more than one terminal of the terminal block assembly extending marking surface. Then the marking surface is provided with a label after it has hardened.

Nach der Erfindung besteht die Markierfläche nicht aus kleinen einzelnen Markierern sondern mit der Kunststoffformmasse wird in einfacher Weise nach dem Montieren der Reihenklemmenanordnung eine durchgehend beschriftbare Markierfläche gebildet, die insbesondere auch in Hinsicht auf eine Beschriftung mit einem Laser besonders geeignet ist.According to the invention, the marking does not consist of small individual markers but with the plastic molding material is in a simple manner after mounting the terminal block assembly formed a continuously inscribable marking, which is particularly suitable in particular with regard to a label with a laser.

Bevorzugt wird die Kunststoff-Formmasse im Bereich einer oder mehrerer Rastnut(en) der Reihenklemmenanordnung derart aufgebracht, dass sie in diese Rastnuten eingreift.Preferably, the plastic molding compound in the region of one or more locking groove (s) of the terminal block assembly is applied such that it engages in these locking grooves.

Mittels der Formmasse ist insbesondere eine Belaserung möglich, besonders bei unterschiedlichen Klemmengrößen bzw. Positionen.By means of the molding compound, in particular, a blaze is possible, especially with different terminal sizes or positions.

Die Formmasse kann mittels Dispenser und Formgeber in Position gebracht werden.The molding compound can be brought into position by means of dispenser and former.

Da keine mosaikartige sondern vorzugsweise eine durchgehend ebene Fläche über mehrere Reihenklemmen hinweg gebildet wird, steht mehr Beschriftungsfläche zur Verfügung.Since no mosaic-like but preferably a continuous flat surface is formed across several terminal blocks, more labeling surface is available.

Der Begriff der Reihenklemme ist zudem nicht zu eng zu fassen. Er umfasst elektrische Reihenklemmen zum Anschließen von Leitern aber beispielsweise auch sonstige auf eine Montagebasis aufreihbare Gehäuse.The term terminal block is also not too narrow. It includes electrical terminal blocks for connecting conductors but also, for example, other housing which can be arranged on a mounting base.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben. Es zeigt:

Fig. 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht einer auf eine Tragschiene montierten Reihenklemmenanordnung;
Fig. 2
eine Reihenklemmenanordnung mit einem Markierer, der nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellt ist; und
Fig. 3
die Reihenklemmenanordnung aus Fig. 1 in einem mit Markierern nach dem Stand der Technik versehenen Zustand;
The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments. It shows:
Fig. 1
a perspective view of a mounted on a DIN rail terminal assembly;
Fig. 2
a terminal block assembly with a marker made according to the method of the invention; and
Fig. 3
the terminal block assembly Fig. 1 in a state provided with markers according to the prior art;

Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht einer auf eine Tragschiene 1 montierten Reihenklemmenanordnung 2 aus einzelnen Reihenklemmen 3, die neben (hier nicht zu erkennenden) Leiteranschlüssen (siehe aber die Leitereinführöffnungen 4), mehrere sich in Tragschienenrichtung erstreckende Rastnuten 5 aufweist, die über mehrere Reihenklemmen hinweg jeweils durchgehende Rastkanäle ausbilden. Fig. 1 a perspective view of a mounted on a support rail 1 terminal block assembly 2 of individual terminal blocks 3 next (not to be recognized here) conductor terminals (but see the conductor insertion 4), several extending in DIN rail direction locking grooves 5, the across several terminal blocks away each through latching channels form.

Auf diese Rastnuten 5 können - wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen - Markiererschilder 6 aufgerastet werden, wobei jede einzelne der Reihenklemmen 3 mit einem der Markiererschilder 6 versehen wird.On this Rastnuten 5 can - as in Fig. 3 Markers 6 are latched, each of the terminal blocks 3 is provided with one of the marker plates 6.

Damit ergibt sich eine nicht durchgehende, mosaikartige Fläche, die nur schwer oder nicht als ganzes beschriftbar ist. Insbesondere ist sie nicht einer Laserbeschriftung zugänglich.This results in a non-continuous, mosaic-like surface that is difficult or impossible to label as a whole. In particular, it is not accessible to laser marking.

Dieses Problem wird - wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich - erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass auf die Reihenklemmenanordnung 2 nach der Montage auf der Tragschiene 1 zumindest im Bereich der einen oder ggf. im Bereich mehrere der Rastnuten 5 eine aushärtbare Kunststoff-Formmasse aufgebracht wird, die nach ihrem Aushärten eine sich über mehr als eine Reihenklemmen 3 der Reihenklemmenanordnung 2 erstreckende Markierfläche 7 ausbildet.This problem will - like out Fig. 2 can be seen - solved according to the invention that is applied to the terminal block assembly 2 after mounting on the mounting rail 1, at least in the region of one or possibly in the area of several of the locking grooves 5, a curable plastic molding compound, which after curing one over more than one Terminal blocks 3 of the terminal block assembly 2 extending marking 7 forms.

Da sich diese Markierfläche 7 über mehrere der Reihenklemmen 3 erstreckt, ist sie leicht durchgängig beschriftbar.Since this marking surface 7 extends over a plurality of the terminal blocks 3, it is easy to label throughout.

Insbesondere kann sie auch nachträglich mit einem Laser beschrittet werden, wobei eine "Beschriftung" 8 in die Oberfläche der Markierfläche mit dem Laser eingebrannt wird. Denkbar ist auch, sie auf andere Weise zu beschriften.In particular, it can also be subsequently coated with a laser, wherein a "label" 8 is baked in the surface of the marking surface with the laser. It is also conceivable to label them in other ways.

Anzumerken, ist, dass derart ggf. auch bei Reihenklemmen unterschiedlicher Größe eine durchgehende Markierfläche ausgebildet werden kann, die dann abschnittsweise eine verschiedene Dicke aufweist.It should be noted that a continuous marking area can be formed in this way, if necessary also in terminal blocks of different sizes, which then has a different thickness in sections.

Besonders bevorzugt wird die Kunststoff-Formmasse derart aufgebracht, dass sie sich in die aus den Rastnuten 3 gebildeten Rastkanäle die Markierfläche 7 verankernd eingreift.Particularly preferably, the plastic molding compound is applied such that it engages the marking surface 7 anchoring in the locking channels formed by the locking grooves 3.
