Description

Leiterplattenklemme PCB terminal
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Leiterplattenklemme nach dem Oberbegriff des An- Spruchs 1.The invention relates to a printed circuit board terminal according to the preamble of claim 1.
Leiterplattenklemmen zum Anschluss von Leitern mit verschiedensten Durchmessern sind an sich aus dem Stand der Technik in verschiedensten Ausführungsformen bekannt.PCB terminals for connecting conductors with different diameters are known per se from the prior art in various embodiments.
Beim Anschluss von Leitern mit einem relativ großen Durchmesser tritt das Problem auf, dass sich die oftmals aufgrund ihres relativ großen Durchmessers eher steiferen Leiter nur schwer in die Leiterplattenklemmen einführen lassen.When connecting conductors with a relatively large diameter, the problem arises that the often stiffer due to their relatively large diameter conductor difficult to insert into the PCB terminals.
Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, dieses Problem mit einfachen konstruktiven Mitteln zu lösen.The invention has the object to solve this problem with simple structural means.
Die Erfindung schafft zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe die Leiterplattenklemme des Anspruchs 1.The invention provides for solving this problem, the PCB terminal of claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.
Durch die Erfindung wird das Einführen der Leiter deutlich vereinfacht, da es möglich ist, die Leiter seitlich - vorzugsweise von der oberen, anfänglich offenen Seite her - in das anfangs geöffnete Gehäuse einzulegen, dieses sodann zu verschließen und den vorzugsweise als Schraubanschluss ausgebildeten Anschluss „festzuschrauben", um einen guten leitenden Kontakt herzustellen. Ein „Umbiegen" der Leiter bzw. Leiterenden zum Einfädeln derselben in die Anschlussstelle ist derart in vorteilhafter Weise nicht mehr erforderlich. Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert, wobei auch weitere Vorteile der Erfindung deutlich werden. Es zeigt:The invention considerably simplifies insertion of the conductors, since it is possible to insert the conductors laterally-preferably from the upper, initially open side-into the initially opened housing, then to close it and screw it tightly to the connection, which is preferably designed as a screw connection In order to make a good conductive contact, a "bending over" of the conductors or conductor ends for threading them into the connection point is advantageously no longer necessary. The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing with reference to exemplary embodiments, whereby further advantages of the invention will become apparent. It shows:
Fig. Ia einen Schnitt durch eine Leiterplatte mit einer in Frontansicht dargestellten Leiterplattenklemme; Fig. Ib einen Schnittansicht der Leiterplattenklemme aus Fig. Ia (Schnitt durch die Ebene senkrecht zur Blattebene längs der Linie A-A);1a shows a section through a printed circuit board with a printed circuit board clamp shown in front view; Fig. Ib is a sectional view of the PCB terminal of Fig. Ia (section through the plane perpendicular to the plane of the sheet along the line A-A);
Fig. 2-4 drei beim Anschluss eines Leiters zeitlich aufeinander folgende Zustände der Leiterplattenklemme aus Fig. 1.FIGS. 2-4 show three states of the printed circuit board terminal from FIG. 1 which follow one another temporally when connecting a conductor.
Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Leiterplattenklemme zum Anschluss eines Leiters weist ein Gehäuse 1 auf, welches wiederum einen Gehäusegrundabschnitt 2 zum Aufsetzen auf eine Leiterplatte 3 und einen Gehäusedeckelab schnitt 4 aufweist.The printed circuit board terminal shown in Fig. 1 for connecting a conductor has a housing 1, which in turn has a housing base portion 2 for placement on a printed circuit board 3 and a Gehäusedeckelab section 4.
Der Gehäusegrundabschnitt 2 umgibt einen Aufnahmeraum 5 zur Aufnahme eines Leiters (letzterer hier nicht dargestellt). Der Aufnahmeraum 5 ist hier in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung einmal nach oben zum Gehäusedeckelab schnitt 4 hin offen ausgestaltet und einmal zu einer Frontseite 6 des Gehäuses 1 hin. Ein einzulegendes Leiteren- de ist nach dem Anschließen im Wesentlichen parallel zur Leiterplattenebene ausgelegt.The housing base portion 2 surrounds a receiving space 5 for receiving a conductor (the latter not shown here). The receiving space 5 is here in a preferred embodiment, once up to Gehäusedeckelab section 4 out open and once to a front side 6 of the housing 1 out. An inserted Leiteren- de is designed after connecting substantially parallel to the circuit board level.
In dem Gehäuse 1 ist ein metallischer Klemmkäfig 7 angeordnet, der einen hier in wiederum bevorzugter Ausgestaltung U-förmigen Käfiggrundabschnitt 8 und einen Käfigdeckelabschnitt 9 aufweist, wobei der Käfiggrundabschnitt 8 im Gehäusegrundabschnitt 2 angeordnet ist und der Käfigdeckelab schnitt 9 am Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 4.In the housing 1, a metallic clamping cage 7 is arranged, which has a here in turn preferred embodiment U-shaped cage base portion 8 and a cage cover portion 9, wherein the cage base portion 8 is arranged in the housing base portion 2 and the Käfigdeckelab section 9 on the housing cover section. 4
Der Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 4 ist mit dem Käfigdeckelab schnitt 9 vom Gehäuse- grundabschnitt 2 mit dem Käfiggrundabschnitt 8 in eine geöffnete Stellung beweglich, so dass ein parallel oder im Wesentlichen parallel zur leiterplatte 3 ausgerichtetes Leiterende seitlich - hier von der oberen Seite her - in den Käfiggrundabschnitt einlegbar ist(Fig. 2). Es ist damit nicht notwendig, das Leiterende axial in eine Klemmstelle einzufädeln.The housing cover section 4 is movable with the cage lid section 9 from the housing base section 2 with the cage base section 8 into an open position, so that a conductor end aligned parallel or substantially parallel to the circuit board 3 is laterally - here from the upper side - into the cage base section can be inserted (Fig. 2). It is therefore not necessary to thread the end of the conductor axially in a nip.
Nach einer besonders bevorzugten Variante wird dies dadurch realisiert, dass der Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 4 mit dem Gehäusegrundabschnitt 2 schwenkbar verbunden ist. Die Schwenkbarkeit kann durch eine Drehgelenkanordnung erreicht werden, die beispielsweise durch eine kleine Achse, vorzugsweise aus Metall, umgesetzt wird, welche die gelenkig zu verbindenden TiIe durchsetzt (z.B. in Langlöchern und/oderAccording to a particularly preferred variant, this is realized in that the housing cover portion 4 is pivotally connected to the housing base portion 2. The pivotability can be achieved by a hinge assembly, which is implemented, for example, by a small axis, preferably of metal, which passes through the hinges to be hinged (e.g., in oblong holes and / or
Bohrungen). Es ist auch denkbar, die Schwenkbarkeit durch ein Filmscharnier zu realisieren.Holes). It is also conceivable to realize the pivoting by a film hinge.
Diese Variante ermöglicht es, dass Gehäuse einstückig als Kunststoffspritzgußteil auszulegen. Es ist aber auch denkbar, ein mehrstückiges Kunststoffgehäuse zu realisieren.This variant makes it possible to design the housing in one piece as a plastic injection-molded part. But it is also conceivable to realize a multi-piece plastic housing.
Es ist vorteilhaft, aber nicht zwingend, dass der Gehäusegrundabschnitt 2 und der Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 4 schwenkbar mit einander verbunden sind. Es ist auch denkbar, sie relativ zueinander rein verschieblich auszugestalten (hier nicht dargestellt).It is advantageous, but not mandatory, that the housing base section 2 and the housing cover section 4 are pivotally connected to each other. It is also conceivable to design them relative to each other purely displaceable (not shown here).
Besonders bevorzugt wird über ein genügend lang bemessenes Filmscharnier eine schwenkbare und begrenzt verschiebliche Bewegung zwischen dem Gehäusegrundabschnitt und dem Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 2, 4 zugelassen. Diese bevorzugte Ausgestaltung ist - wie nachfolgend ersichtlich- von besonderem Vorteil.Particularly preferred is a pivotable and limited sliding movement between the housing base portion and the housing cover portion 2, 4 allowed over a sufficiently long dimensioned film hinge. This preferred embodiment is - as seen below - of particular advantage.
So sind nach Fig. 1 und 2 der Käfiggrundabschnitt 8 und der Käfigdeckelab schnitt 9 mit korrespondierenden, in und außer Eingriff bringbaren Formschlussmitteln 10, 11 versehen, die hier als jeweils zwei in den Seitenwänden des Käfiggrundabschnitts 8 ausgebildete Nuten 11 und korrespondierende seitliche Stege 10 am Käfigdeckelab- schnitt 9 ausgebildet sind, wobei jeweils eine der Nuten 11 parallel zur Leiterplattenebene hin offen steht und eine der Nuten 11 L-förmig ausgebildet ist.. Nach dem Einlegen eines Leiters in der Position mit geöffneten bzw. hier in geöffnete Stellung geschwenktem Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 4 (Fig. 2), in welcher der am Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 4 angeordnete Käfigdeckelab schnitt 9 hier vollständig vom Käfiggrundabschnitt 8 gelöst ist, wird der Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 4 mit dem Käfigde- ckelabschnitt 9 in eine zur Leiterplatte 3 parallele Position herunter geklappt (Fig. 3). In dieser Position fluchten die einen Formschlussmittel 10, 11 miteinander und die Stege 10 greifen in den hinteren Nuten 11 in die Grundschenkel dieser L-förmigen Nuten 11 ein.Thus, according to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the cage base section 8 and the Käfigdeckelab section 9 with corresponding, engageable and disengageable positive locking means 10, 11 provided here as two in the side walls of the Käfiggrundabschnitts 8 grooves 11 and corresponding lateral webs 10 on Käfigdeckelab- section 9 are formed, wherein each one of the grooves 11 is parallel to the circuit board plane open and one of the grooves 11 is L-shaped. After inserting a conductor in the position with open or pivoted here in the open position housing cover section 4 (Fig. 2), in which the arranged on the housing cover section 4 Käfigdeckelab section 9 is completely detached here from the cage base section 8, the housing cover section 4 with the Käfigde - Ckelabschnitt 9 folded down in a direction parallel to the printed circuit board 3 position (Fig. 3). In this position, the one interlocking means 10, 11 are aligned with each other and the webs 10 engage in the rear grooves 11 in the base legs of these L-shaped grooves 11 a.
Sodann wird der Gehäusedeckelab schnitt 4 mit dem Käfigdeckelab schnitt 9 parallel zur Leiterplattenebene verschoben, wobei die Formschlussmittel 10, 11 miteinander derart in Eingriff gelangen, so dass der Klemmkäfig geschlossen wird (Fig. 4). Sodann ist es lediglich noch notwendig, zur Realisierung der klemmenden Leiteranschlusses eine drehbar vorzugsweise den Käfigdeckelab schnitt 9 durchsetzende Klemmschraube 12, deren Ende im Inneren des Klemmkäfigs vorzugsweise auf einen federnd ausgelegten, um den Käfigdeckelabschnitt 9 greifenden bzw. an diesem relativbeweglich festgelegten Klemmbügel 13 einwirkt, anzuziehen und das Leiterende im Klemmkäfig 7 schraubend festzuklemmen. Der Klemmbügel 13 kann wahlweise als Zug- oder Druckbügel ausgebildet werden. Er kann zudem die Funkti- on eines Drahtschutzes übernehmen.Then the Gehäusedeckelab section 4 with the Käfigdeckelab section 9 is moved parallel to the circuit board plane, wherein the interlocking means 10, 11 engage with each other in such a way so that the clamping cage is closed (Fig. 4). Then it is only necessary for the realization of the clamping conductor connection a rotatable preferably the Käfigdeckelab section 9 passing through the clamping screw 12, the end of which preferably acts on a resiliently designed around the cage cover section 9 or at this relatively movable fixed clamping bracket 13 in the interior of the clamping cage, tighten and firmly clamp the end of the conductor in the clamping cage 7. The clamping bracket 13 can optionally be designed as a pull or pressure bracket. He can also take over the function of wire protection.
Wenigstens eine der Wände des Klemmkäfigs 7 ist derart gut leitend ausgelegt, dass sie als stromleitendes Element wirkt. Vorzugsweise wird hierzu die zur Leiterplatte 3 hin liegende Grundwand 14 des Klemmkäfigs 7 verwendet, die mit einem leitenden Blechbelegt ist, welches wiederum vorzugsweise direkt oder über Anschlusspins 15 lötend mit der Leiterplatte 3 leitend verbunden und an dieser festgelegt ist.At least one of the walls of the clamping cage 7 is designed so well conductive that it acts as a current-conducting element. Preferably, the base plate 14 of the clamping cage 7 lying toward the printed circuit board 3 is preferably used for this purpose, which is covered with a conductive metal sheet, which in turn is connected to the printed circuit board 3 in a soldering manner, preferably directly or via connecting pins 15, and fixed thereto.
Zwischen den Formschlussmitteln 10, 11 kann optional ein rastender Verschluss (Rastkante 16) realisiert sein, um zu sichern, dass der Klemmkäfig 7 auch bei raue- rem Einsatz sicher geschlossen bleibt. Es ist ferner auch denkbar, dass der Gehäusegrundabschnitt 2 und der Gehäusedeckelabschnitt 4 an Formschlussmitteln 17, 18 und/oder an Rastmitteln nach dem Einlegen des Leiters und dem Erreichen des „Klemmzustandes" (Fig. 4) ergänzend rastend ineinander greifen, um die Relativverschieblichkeit zwischen diesen Elementen zu blockieren.Optionally, a latching closure (latching edge 16) can be realized between the positive-locking means 10, 11 in order to ensure that the clamping cage 7 remains securely closed even in the case of rough use. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the housing base section 2 and the housing cover section 4 engage in complementary engagement with one another on interlocking means 17, 18 and / or latching means after inserting the conductor and reaching the "clamping state" (FIG. 4) in order to determine the relative displaceability between to block these elements.
Nach einer weiteren Vorteilhaften Variante wird der Gehäusedeckelab schnitt 4 im offenen Zustand auch am Gehäusegrundabschnitt 2 verrastet, so dass eine definierte Offenstellung gegeben ist.According to a further advantageous variant of the Gehäusedeckelab section 4 is locked in the open state and the housing base portion 2, so that a defined open position is given.
In Hinsicht auf die vorstehend beschriebenen verschiedenen optionalen Rastfunktionen sei angemerkt, dass vorzugsweise zwischen den verrastbaren Bauelementen jeweils fühl- und/oder hörbare Verrastungen ausgebildet sind, damit der Anwender sicher weiß, dass nach dem Verrasten der Leiter die Leiter mit der Schraube 12 fest- geklemmt werden können.With regard to the various optional latching functions described above, it should be noted that in each case sensible and / or audible latching are preferably formed between the latchable components, so that the user knows for sure that the conductor is clamped with the screw 12 after latching the ladder can be.
Der erfinderungemäße Schraubanschluss eignet sich bei seinem einfachen, kostengünstigen Aufbau hervorragend zum Anschluss auch relativ unflexibler Leiter mit - je nach Auslegung - auch größerem Durchmesser. The erfinderungemäße screw is suitable for its simple, inexpensive construction excellent for connecting even relatively inflexible conductor with - depending on the design - even larger diameter.
