Eine bekannte Anschluss-Vorrichtung zeigt die DE 297 08 222 Ul. Diese An- Schluss- Vorrichtung dient zur Realisierung von Abzweigungen an einer Mehrzahl von durchgehenden Leitern, ohne die durchgehenden Leiter durchtrennen zu müssen. Hierzu ist an einer Grundplatte eine Mehrzahl von rinnenartigen Aufnahmen ausgebildet, in welche ein Flachkabel oder eine Mehrzahl elektrischer Leiter parallel zueinander eingelegt werden können. Sodann wird ein Oberteil aufgesetzt, um die Leiter oder das Flachkabel zu fieren. Auf diese vormontierte Einheit, die mit Trennwänden versehen ist, werden sodann in einer Schwenkbewegung klemmenartige Körper aufgerastet, die jeweils mit einer isolationsdurchdringenden Schraube versehen sind, die über eine Stromschiene mit jeweils zwei Zugfederklemmen zum Anschluss abzweigender Leiter verbunden ist. Derart können jeweils zwei Abzwei- gungen an jedem Leiter realisiert werden, ohne die durchgehenden Leiter durchtrennen zu müssen.A known connection device shows the DE 297 08 222 Ul. This connection device serves to realize branches on a plurality of continuous conductors without having to cut through the continuous conductors. For this purpose, a plurality of groove-like receptacles is formed on a base plate, in which a flat cable or a plurality of electrical conductors can be inserted parallel to each other. Then, a shell is placed to fieren the ladder or the flat cable. In this preassembled unit, which is provided with partitions, then clamp-like body are snapped in a pivoting movement, which are each provided with an insulation-penetrating screw, which is connected via a busbar with two tension spring terminals for connecting branching conductor. In this way two deviations can be realized on each conductor without having to cut through the continuous conductors.

Die EP 1843 441 A2 offenbart zudem eine besonders vorteilhafte Dichtung für Gehäusedurchführungen für Kabel, wie sie beispielsweise die Anschlussvorrichtungen der EP 0 1 764 870 Al und der EP 1 764 871 Bl aufweisen.EP 1843 441 A2 also discloses a particularly advantageous seal for cable bushings for cables, as they have, for example, the connection devices of EP 0 1 764 870 A1 and EP 1 764 871 B1.
Die gattungsgemäße EP 1 914 840 A2 zeigt schließlich ein Anschluss-System mit mehreren zu Baugruppen zusammenstellbaren Anschluss- Vorrichtungen. Der Erfindung liegt ausgehend von der gattungsgemäßen EP 0 1 914 840 A2 die Aufgabe zu Grunde, das in dieser Schrift offenbarte Anschluss-System um weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale zu ergänzen.The generic EP 1 914 840 A2 finally shows a connection system with several assemblable to assemblies connection devices. Based on the generic EP 0 1 914 840 A2, the invention is based on the object of supplementing the connection system disclosed in this document by further advantageous features.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Anschluss- Vorrichtung 1 als Teil eines Anschluss-Systems, mit einem Übergehäuse mit einem Grundteil 2 und einem auf das Grundteil 2 aufsetzbaren Gehäusedeckel 3 sowie mit wenigstens einem in das Grundteil 2 einsetzbaren Anschlussmodul mit einem Modulrahmen 4, in den eine Mehrzahl von An- schluss-Scheiben 5 einsetzbar ist. Mehrere dieser Anschluss- Vorrichtungen, jeweils mit einem der Übergehäuse mit dem Grundteil 2 sowie mit einem Gehäusedeckel 3 versehen, (was weiter unten noch näher erläutert wird) bilden das übergeordnete Anschluss-System aus. Der Grandrahmen 3 weist vorzugsweise - aber nicht zwingend - eine Mehrzahl von Aufnahmeräumen 6 auf, in die jeweils eine der Anschluss-Scheiben 4 einschiebbar ist (siehe Fig. 5).1 and 2 show a connection device 1 as part of a connection system, with an outer housing with a base part 2 and a housing cover 3 which can be placed on the base part 2 and with at least one connection module with a module frame 4, which can be inserted into the base part 2 a plurality of connection disks 5 can be inserted. Several of these connection devices, each provided with one of the outer housing with the base part 2 and with a housing cover 3, (which will be explained in more detail below) form the higher-level connection system. The Grandrahmen 3 preferably - but not necessarily - a plurality of receiving spaces 6, in each of which one of the connection plates 4 is inserted (see Fig. 5).
Hinsichtlich des Aufbaus der „inneren Anschlusstechnik der Anschlussmodule" sei beispielhaft auf die EP 0 1 764 870 Al und der EP 1 764 871 Bl verwiesen. Wesentlich ist, dass wenigstens eines der „inneren" Anschlussmodule der Anschlussvorrichtungen des Systems derart ausgebildet ist, dass mit ihm Abzweigungen an den aufgefächerten Leitern eines abschnittsweise abgemantelten durchgehenden Kabels realisierbar sind, wozu jedenfalls dieses Anschlussmodul vorzugsweise isolationsdurchdringende Kontakte aufweist.With regard to the construction of the "internal connection technology of the connection modules", reference is made by way of example to EP 0 1 764 870 A1 and EP 1 764 871 B. It is essential that at least one of the "internal" connection modules of the connection devices of the system is designed such that it branches can be realized on the fanned-ladders of a sectionally stripped continuous cable, for which purpose this connection module preferably has insulation-piercing contacts.
Das Grundteil 2 und das Gehäusedeckel 3 bilden im zusammengebauten Zustand mehrere das Übergehäuse von innen nach außen durchsetzenden Gehäusedurchfüh- rangen 7 für das durchgehende Kabel und/oder für abgehende Leiter oder Kabel (hier nicht dargestellt) aus.The base part 2 and the housing cover 3 form, in the assembled state, a plurality of housing through-holes 7 passing through the housing from the inside to the outside for the continuous cable and / or for outgoing conductors or cables (not shown here).
Im Bereich der Gehäusedurchführangen 7 können Wände ausgebildet sein, die an Sollbrachlinien heraustrennbar sind, um verschiedensten Einbausituationen gerecht zu werden.Walls may be formed in the area of the housing passages 7, which can be separated out from the target break lines in order to cope with a wide variety of installation situations.
Vorzugsweise an einem Filmscharnier klappbare sowie vorzugsweise radial geteilte Dichtungen (hier nicht dargestellt) dichten die Durchführungen 7 ab.Preferably on a film hinge hinged and preferably radially split seals (not shown here) seal the bushings 7 from.
Die Funktion der Anordnung aus Fig. 1 und 2 ist wie folgt. Zuerst wird ein Kabel, an dem Abzweige zu installieren sind, abschnittsweise abgemantelt. Sodann werden die Leiter aufgefächert und in die Aufnahmen gelegt und die Kabel im nicht abgemantelten Bereich festgelegt, woraufhin die Leiter vorzugsweise mit isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten kontaktiert werden. Die isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte sind wiederum vorzugsweise mit Steckern oder Buchsen verbunden, die zur Kontaktierang mit Leitern oder einer Elektronik o.dgl. dienen. Die Anordnung ist übersichtlich sowie einfach und sicher zu handhaben, wobei über die vorzugsweise eingesetzte Exzenteranordnung, die sich am Modulrahmen abstützt, besonders hohe Beschaltungskräfte realisierbar sind.The function of the arrangement of Figs. 1 and 2 is as follows. First, a cable to be installed at the branches, stripped off in sections. The conductors are then fanned out and placed in the receptacles and the cables are fixed in the non-stripped area, whereupon the conductors are preferably contacted with insulation-piercing contacts. The isolationsdurchdringenden contacts are in turn preferably connected to plugs or sockets or the like to Kontaktierang with conductors or electronics. serve. The arrangement is clear as well as simple and safe to handle, with the preferably used eccentric, which is supported on the module frame, particularly high Beschaltungskräfte can be realized.
Wie bereits in der gattungsgemäßen EP 1 914 840 A2 ausgeführt, wird ein besonders vorteilhaftes Anschluss-System dadurch realisiert, dass verschieden ausgestaltete und ausgelegte Gehäusedeckel 3 vorgesehen sind.As already stated in the generic EP 1 914 840 A2, a particularly advantageous connection system is realized in that differently configured and designed housing cover 3 are provided.
Damit können durch bloßen Austausch der Gehäusedeckel 3 Anschluss- Vorrichtungen verschiedenster Funktion realisiert werden, die dann gemeinsam ein Anschluss-System ausbilden.This can be realized by simply replacing the housing cover 3 connection devices various function, which then together form a connection system.
So kann der Gehäusedeckel 3 als bloße Abdeckung dienen.Thus, the housing cover 3 can serve as a mere cover.
Nach einer in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Variante eines Gehäusedeckels 3 ist dagegen vorgesehen, in dem Innenraum des Gehäusedeckels 3 ein Tragschienenstück 8 mit einem hutförmigen Querschnitt anzuordnen, dass zur Aufnahme von einem oder mehreren Gehäuse 9 zum Aufrasten auf Tragschienen ausgelegt ist.According to a variant of a housing cover 3 shown in Fig. 1 and 2, however, is provided in the interior of the housing cover 3 to arrange a mounting rail piece 8 with a hat-shaped cross section that is designed to receive one or more housing 9 for mounting on mounting rails.
Vorzugsweise handelt es sich dem Gehäuse 9 um ein Elektronikgehäuse zur Aufnahme einer Leistungselektronik, wie sie z.B. zur Ansteuerung von Elektromotoren eingesetzt wird.Preferably, the housing 9 is an electronics housing for receiving power electronics, such as e.g. is used to control electric motors.
Dabei kann zwischen den Anschluss-Scheiben 4 und dem Gehäuse 9 mittels kurzen Leiterstücken eine leitende Verbindung ausgebildet werden. Derart wird das Gehäuse 9 in einfacher Weise in dem Gehäusedeckel und damit in dem in vorzugsweise hoher Dichtigkeit ausgebildeten Übergehäuse untergebracht.In this case, a conductive connection can be formed between the connection disks 4 and the housing 9 by means of short conductor pieces. In this way, the housing 9 is accommodated in a simple manner in the housing cover and thus in the preferably high-density outer housing.
Das Tragschienenstück kann an einer Halterung 10 angeordnet/befestigt sein, die an der Innenseite des Gehäusedeckels 3 festlegbar, insbesondere festschraubbar, ist. Der Gehäusedeckel 3 kann ein- oder - wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt - mehrteilig ausgebildet sein. Besonders bevorzugt weist der Gehäusedeckel einen äußeren Rahmen 11 und eine Abdeckung 12 auf.The mounting rail piece can be arranged / fastened to a holder 10 which can be fixed to the inside of the housing cover 3, in particular can be screwed on. The housing cover 3 may be on or - as shown in Fig. 1 - be formed in several parts. Particularly preferably, the housing cover has an outer frame 11 and a cover 12.
Der gesamte Gehäusedeckel 3 oder die vorzugsweise klappbare Abdeckung 12 werden nach einer weiteren - auch unabhängig zu betrachtenden - Variante der Erfindung aus einem transparenten Material gefertigt.The entire housing cover 3 or the preferably hinged cover 12 are made of a transparent material according to another - even independently considered - variant of the invention.
Durch diese transparente Abdeckung 12 ist das Innere des Übergehäuses z.B. zur Überprüfung von Anzeigen gut einsichtig.Through this transparent cover 12, the inside of the over-housing is e.g. good for checking ads.
Fig. 3 und 4 veranschaulichen zeigt die Option, in das Gehäusedeckel 3 eine von außen sichtbare LED 13 auf einer Leiterplatte 14 zu integrieren, welche derart stark leuchtend ausgelegt ist, dass der Gehäusedeckel 3 als die Umgebung beleuchtende Lampe verwendbar ist, so dass mit Hilfe der Anschlussvorrichtungen in einfacher Weise an einem durchgehenden Kabel Leuchtmittel anbringbar sind, ohne das Kabel durchtrennen zu müssen.FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the option of integrating into the housing cover 3 an externally visible LED 13 on a printed circuit board 14 which is designed so brightly illuminating that the housing cover 3 can be used as the ambient lighting lamp, so that with the help of the connection devices are easily attachable to a continuous cable lighting without having to cut through the cable.
Die Fig. 5 und 6 veranschaulichen ferner die Option, in den Gehäusedeckel eine Elektronikschaltung 15 zu integrieren, welche es ermöglicht, die Anschluss- Vorrichtung als Sensor /Aktorinterface zu nutzen.FIGS. 5 and 6 further illustrate the option of integrating into the housing cover an electronic circuit 15 which makes it possible to use the connection device as a sensor / actuator interface.
Fig. 8 veranschaulicht, dass es möglich ist, in das Gehäusedeckel ferner ein Fach 16 zu integrieren, welches zur Aufnahme eines Ersatzteilbehältnisses z.B. einer Siche- rang s Schachtel 17 nutzbar ist.Fig. 8 illustrates that it is possible to further integrate into the housing cover a compartment 16 which is designed to receive a spare part container e.g. a safety box s 17 is usable.
Aus dem gattungsgemäßen Stand der Technik ist es bereits bekannt, am Gehäusedeckel 3 einen oder mehreren Anschlußstecker- oder -buchsen 18 auszubilden, die nach Fig. 7 und 8 als Drehstromsteckdose ausgebildet ist, nach Fig. 9 als Büroste- cker (z.B. RJ45) mit einem Adapterübergehäuse 19 und nach Fig. 10 als Anschlussbuchse 20 im sogenannten M-Standard (z.B. M6, M8, M12 oder dgl.). Fig. 10 veranschaulicht auch, dass es möglich ist, in dem Gehäusedeckel eine Elektronikschaltung mit vorzugsweise wechselbaren Sicherungen 27 anzuordnen.From the generic state of the art, it is already known to form on the housing cover 3 one or more connector plugs or sockets 18, which is designed according to FIGS. 7 and 8 as a three-phase power socket, as shown in FIG. 9 as an office plug (eg RJ45) an adapter housing 19 and according to FIG. 10 as a connection socket 20 in the so-called M standard (eg M6, M8, M12 or the like.). Fig. 10 also illustrates that it is possible to arrange in the housing cover an electronic circuit with preferably replaceable fuses 27.
Fig. 11 veranschaulicht die Verlegung eines Massebandes 21 im Inneren des Über- gehäuses 2, welches entweder seitlich oder unterhalb des Moduls verlaufen kann.11 illustrates the laying of a ground strap 21 in the interior of the housing 2, which can either run laterally or below the module.
Fig. 12 zeigt schließlich ein Übergehäuse, dass zur Aufnahme von zwei nebeneinander liegenden Anschlussmodulen (hier nicht dargestellt) ausgebildet ist, wobei seitliche Durchbrüche mit Kabelverschraubungen vorgesehen sein können.Finally, FIG. 12 shows an outer housing that is designed to accommodate two adjacent connection modules (not shown here), lateral openings with cable glands being able to be provided.
Die beiden inneren Anschlussmodule können beispielsweise mittels Leitern miteinander verbunden sein. Es ist auch denkbar, auf eines der Leistungsmodule eine Art Transformator und/oder eine Gleichrichterschaltung aufzusetzen, um eine Art Einspeisestation für eine Gleichspannung von z.B. 24V zur realisieren, die an das durchgehende Kabel von einem der beiden Anschlussmodule gelegt wird, während das durchgehende Kabel des anderen Anschlussmoduls zur Durchleitung einer höheren Wechselspannung oder dgl. genutzt wird. The two inner connection modules can be connected to one another, for example, by means of conductors. It is also conceivable to set up on one of the power modules, a kind of transformer and / or a rectifier circuit to realize a kind of feeding station for a DC voltage of eg 24V, which is placed on the continuous cable from one of the two connection modules, while the continuous cable of the another connection module for passing a higher AC voltage or the like is used.
