Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection element for electrical conductors, in particular shielded electrical conductors, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection elements are used, inter alia, to connect electrical conductors to a busbar of an electrical installation.
  • the busbar serves as a reference potential, e.g. as a common mass.
  • a shielded electrical conductor is pressed against the busbar with an end exposed from the cable shield.
  • Such connection elements are therefore also referred to as a shield terminal.
  • connection element for electrical conductors, in which a spring clamping mechanism can be hooked by actuation with a tool at different positions of the spring clamping mechanism behind a retaining element to take a locked position, or can be unhooked by re-tool operation of the locking position.
  • the operation of the local connection element requires some practice. It can also lead to incorrect operation, because the current position of the spring clamp mechanism, ie whether this is in the locked position or not, is not readily apparent from the outside.
  • connection element for electrical conductors, in which a prestressed clamping spring is provided, with which an electrical conductor can be pressed against the busbar.
  • the connection element has a locking position in which the local spring clamping mechanism does not load the electrical conductor with the spring force.
  • the local connection element of the locking mechanism is designed as a tilting holder, in which the locking position is taken over a certain angle of a pressure piece. To release from the locking position, the pressure piece is pressed against the electrical conductor, which leads to tilting of the pressure piece and due to the rigid mechanical connection of the pressure piece with the tilt bracket for releasing the tilt bracket.
  • For releasing from the locking position so that portion of the connecting element, which serves for mechanically securing the connecting element to the busbar, to move away from the busbar. After releasing the locking mechanism, it is necessary to perform the correct mechanical attachment to the busbar.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connection element for electrical conductors, in which the electrical conductor via a spring clamping mechanism to the busbar can be pressed, the handling of the connection element should be made easier and safer for the user and misuse options should be largely excluded.
  • connection element has the advantage that the handling and operation of the connection element for the user is considerably simplified and ergonomically designed. A faulty operation and faulty connection of electrical conductors is already largely excluded by the construction of the connection element.
  • the connecting element according to the invention has a locking mechanism with at least one elasticallysfedernden tab having at least a first locking means and at least one cooperating with the first locking means for forming a locking connection second locking means, the locking and releasing the locking of the spring clamping mechanism of the fastening of the connecting element on the busbar, which is done by means of the busbar mounting portion, are decoupled.
  • the connection element according to the invention can be mounted with the busbar mounting portion first in the final mounting position on the busbar become.
  • connection element on the busbar can be checked.
  • the spring clamping mechanism may already be in the locked position before or during the fastening of the connection element to the busbar.
  • the spring clamping mechanism can be brought into the locked position even after the attachment of the connection element to the busbar.
  • the connection element already fastened to the busbar and aligned therewith must no longer be released from it.
  • the locking mechanism can be solved in the existing position of the connecting element by mechanical application of force to the self-resilient tab, in which this is moved in the compression direction, ie against any existing bias of the self-resilient tab, thereby the first locking means of the second locking means is released and so that the spring clamp mechanism is released.
  • the self-resilient tab is thus movable relative to the second locking means.
  • the at least one tab is formed as an elasticallysfedernde tab, ie a corresponding spring action is already provided on or in the tab, so that the spring force of the clamping spring is not required for secure holding the spring clamping mechanism in the locking position, such as at EP 0 944 131 B1 ,
  • the self-resilient tab In the releasing operation of the locking mechanism, the self-resilient tab is moved in the jounce direction. Here, the self-resilient tab is stretched, or any existing bias ofsfedernde tab is increased.
  • the self-resilient tab can therefore be designed as a prestressed self-resilient tab.
  • the self-resilient tab does not necessarily have to be biased in any position of the spring clamp mechanism. Thus, the self-resilient tab, e.g. be tension-free in the clamping position or in other positions.
  • the connection element have a ramp on which the self-resilient tab is guided along during a relative movement between the first and the second latching means and the self-resilient tab thereby builds up the prestressing.
  • the self-resilient tab permanently has a preload which may be constant or may vary in height depending on the position of the spring clamp mechanism.
  • the first locking means may be formed, for example, as a latching lug or other latching projection and the second latching means as a latching edge, or vice versa. It can also be formed as a latching lug or other latching projection both locking means.
  • the self-resilient tab may be connected to the spring clamping mechanism and be movable with this along the connecting element. The self-resilient tab may also be attached to another part of the terminal that does not move with the spring clamp mechanism, such as on a back plate of the terminal.
  • the clamping spring can e.g. be designed as a spiral spring with a spring direction in the axial direction, as a torsion coil spring or other torsion spring, as a plate spring or as an elastically resilient curved or angled metal strip.
  • the clamping spring can be made of metal or of suitable plastics.
  • the transmission means may direct or indirectly, e.g., in relative motion between the first and second detent means, move the spring clamping mechanism. via a diversion, implement.
  • the transmission means may e.g. by a direct connection between the self-resilient tab and a part of the spring clamp mechanism, e.g. a pressure plate of the spring clamping mechanism, be realized.
  • the transmission means is adapted to transmit in the locking position, the spring force of the clamping spring completely or partially on the latching connection, so that the first latching means is thereby pressed against the second latching means.
  • the self-resilient tab on a spring independent of the spring mechanism may be formed in one embodiment of the invention as an elastic element, which has an elasticity corresponding to the requirements and thus own spring action due to the material used and / or the shape. In this case, it is not necessary to provide other components, such as an additional spring, for realizing the self-locking tab.
  • the self-resilient tab thus has, so to speak, an integrated spring mechanism independent of the clamping spring.
  • the independent spring mechanism may also have other components, such as acting in the direction of the compression and Ausfederides the self-resilient tab auxiliary spring, such as a coil spring or a plate spring. This has the advantage that the self-locking tab in terms other design degrees of freedom can be designed and optimized independently of the spring clamp mechanism or the clamping spring.
  • the locking of the spring clamping mechanism in the locked position by applying force to the self-resilient tab in that direction is releasable, which is opposite to the direction of movement of the self-resilient tab in the automatic rebound due to movement of the spring clamping mechanism in the locked position.

  • the locking mechanism may be formed with a single self-locking tab or with several self-resilient tabs.
  • the symmetrical arrangement of an even number of self-resilient tabs for example of two symmetrically arranged self-resilient tabs on two opposite sides of the connection element, is advantageous.
  • According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention is to release the locking mechanism in each case to actuate a pair of self-resilient tabs in opposite directions of actuation, ie either towards or away from each other.

  • the pressure plate has the advantage that a secure fixing and adjustment of the electrical conductor can be ensured by appropriate shaping, for example by providing bevelled areas of the pressure plate, the electrical conductor to the desired location, usually in the middle of the busbar mounting portion , lead and center there.
  • Another advantage is that simple, commercially available springs can be used as a clamping spring, even if they would not be suitable by their shape alone for the action on the electrical conductor, such as coil springs.
  • By additionally provided pressure plate is a decoupling of the terminal point of the electrical Conductor of the clamping spring, so that a simple and better optimization of the terminal point can be made to the shape of electrical conductors, without complicating the design of the clamping spring.
  • the pressure plate is movable in a linear movement direction along the connection element.
  • the connection element can be used for this purpose, e.g. have rail-like straps that guide the pressure plate in the linear direction of movement.
  • the rail-like brackets can serve as connecting elements between the busbar mounting portion of the terminal member and the back plate, against which the clamping spring is supported.
  • the pressure plate can be moved along the connection element and in this case guided through parts of the connection element. This allows a secure guidance of the printing plate without additional components.

  • the self-resilient tabs 8 spring.
  • the self-resilient tabs 8 can rebound again and then form with the locking lugs 61, 62, the latching connection.
  • an actuation pressure is exerted manually on the actuation areas 84 of the self-locking tabs 8, for example by manual actuation with two fingers.
  • the self-resilient tabs 8 are in turn moved towards each other while reducing the width of the slot 141 so that the locking edges 82, 83, the locking lugs 61, 62 can happen.
  • the pressure plate 76 is moved together with the self-resilient tabs 8 toward the busbar mounting portion 5.
  • FIGS. 18 to 21 show a sixth embodiment of the connecting element, which apart from the differences explained below of the embodiment according to the FIGS. 6 to 11 equivalent.
  • the connection element 1 provided with a cap 9.
  • the variant with the pushers 91, 92 is assumed.
  • a cover part 180 is attached to a longitudinal side of the cap via a film hinge 181, which acts as a securing element for securing the connecting element 1 against unwanted actuation of the self-resilient tabs 8.
  • the lid member 180 can be pivoted to an open position corresponding to the unsecured position. This is in the FIGS. 18 and 19 shown.
  • the lid part 180 is shown in a folded-down position in which it rests against the top of the cap 9. The lid part 180 is then in a position corresponding to the secured position.
  • the film hinge 181 may be made of the material of the cap 9 and the lid part 180, so that the cap 9 can be manufactured with the lid part 180 in one piece in a manufacturing process.
  • other types of articulation of the cover part 180 are possible, for. B. via a separate hinge. Even a loose provision of the cover part 180 is possible.
  • the lid part 180 has at its to the respective pushers 91, 92 facing end portions protruding wings 184, which serve in the folded down state of the lid part 180 for blocking the pushers 91, 92.
  • this may be formed with locking lugs 183 which engage behind a corresponding edge of the cap 9 and thus secure the lid part 180.
  • the cover part 180 may have a window-like recess to release the view of an underlying labeling field 99.
  • the central area 182 may also be without a recess be formed, ie there is then the material of the cover part 180 is present. In this case, the central area 182 itself can be used as a label field.
  • FIG. 19 shows a section of the upper portion of the terminal 1 with the cap 9, in the in FIG. 18 It can be seen that the pusher 92 can be pressed by manual operation against thesfedernde tab 8, so that it can be released from its lock. In order to avoid unwanted incorrect operation of the connection element 1, the lid part 180 can be folded into the secured position, as in FIG. 20 shown.
