Description

Anschlussvorrichtung für einen elektrischen Leiter mit einer Markiervorrichtung  Connection device for an electrical conductor with a marking device
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anschlussvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 . The invention relates to a connection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Anschlussvorrichtungen sind in verschiedensten Ausführungen bekannt. Sie können in ein- oder mehrpoliger Ausführung ausgebildet sein. Bei bevorzugten Ausführungen erfolgt die Festlegung der elektrischen Leiter schraubenlos mittels wenigstens einer Druckfeder. Such connection devices are known in various designs. They can be designed in single or multi-pole design. In preferred embodiments, the determination of the electrical conductor is screwless by means of at least one compression spring.
Zur Kennzeichnung/Identifizierung der Leiter sind Markierelemente vorteilhaft oder ggf. sogar notwendig, die eine bedruckbare oder auf sonstige Weise beschriftbare Kennzeichnungsfläche aufweisen. Deren Anordnung an den Anschlussvorrichtungen oder in Nähe der Anschlussvorrichtungen ist oftmals ein Problem, da der zur Verfügung stehende Raum nur sehr begrenzt ist. For marking / identification of the conductors, marking elements are advantageous or possibly even necessary, which have a printable or otherwise inscribable marking surface. Their arrangement on the connection devices or in the vicinity of the connection devices is often a problem, since the available space is very limited.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, dieses Problem zu lösen. The invention has for its object to solve this problem.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhaf- te Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen. This object is solved by the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.
Erfindungsgemäß werden die Markiervorrichtungen besonders platzsparend an dem Betätigungselement der Anschlussvorrichtung angeordnet. Besonders geeignet ist die Erfindung für Betätigungselemente von Anschlussvorrichtungen in Direktstecktechnik. Hier ist sie besonders vorteilhaft, da gerade dann, wenn die Anschlussvorrichtungen für Leiter geringen Querschnitts ausgelegt sind, nur wenig Raum zum Anbringen von Markierern bzw. Markiervorrichtungen vorhanden ist. Die Betätigungselemente bieten demgegenüber eine bestehend vorteilhafte Stelle zum Anbringen der Markiervorrichtungen. Denn der Raum am Betätigungselement wird derart quasi doppelt genutzt: Einerseits für die Betätigungsfunktion und andererseits für die Markierfunktion. Durch die Markierfunktion wird dabei die Bedienbarkeit des Direktsteckanschlusses nicht behindert. According to the invention, the marking devices are arranged in a particularly space-saving manner on the actuating element of the connecting device. The invention is particularly suitable for actuators of connection devices in direct plug-in technology. Here, it is particularly advantageous since just when the connection devices are designed for conductors of small cross-section, only little space for attaching markers or marking devices is present. In contrast, the actuators provide an existing advantageous location for attaching the marking. Because the space on the actuator is used almost twice: on the one hand for the actuation function and on the other hand for the marking function. By the marking function, the operability of the Direktsteckanschlusses is not hindered.
Alternativ ist es auch denkbar, Markiervorrichtungen an Betätigungselementen von Anschlussvorrichtungen in anderer Anschlusstechnik anzuordnen, so insbesondere an Betätigungsvorrichtungen von Zugfederklemmen oder IDC- Klemmen. Alternatively, it is also conceivable to arrange marking devices on actuators of connection devices in other connection technology, so in particular to actuators of tension spring terminals or IDC terminals.
Die Anschlussvorrichtungen selbst können wiederum an Steckvorrichtungen, Reihenklemmen oder sonstigen Geräten verschiedenster Art zum Einsatz kommen. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Handhabung jedes Einsteckelementes ist gegeben, wenn der Schaft nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform zylindrisch ausgebildet ist, wobei der Grunddurchmesser des Zylinders geringer ist als der Innendurchmesser jedes Einsteckkanales, und wobei der Schaft jedes Steckelementes mindestens einen plastisch verformbaren Sicherungssteg aufweist, der sich zumindest über den Endbereich des Schaftes erstreckt. Unter dem Grunddurchmesser ist der Durchmesser des massiven Schaftes zu verstehen, an dem der oder die Sicherungsstege angeformt sind. Alternative Ausgestaltungen zur Zylinderform sind denkbar: z.B. ein quadratischer oder auf sonstige Weise mehreckiger Querschnitt. The connecting devices themselves can in turn be used on plug-in devices, terminal blocks or other devices of various kinds. A particularly advantageous handling of each male member is given when the shaft is cylindrical according to a preferred embodiment, wherein the base diameter of the cylinder is smaller than the inner diameter of each insertion channel, and wherein the shaft of each male element has at least one plastically deformable securing web, which at least over extends the end portion of the shaft. The basic diameter is to be understood as meaning the diameter of the solid shaft on which the securing web or webs are formed. Alternative embodiments of the cylinder shape are conceivable: e.g. a square or otherwise polygonal cross-section.
Beim Einstecken jedes Steckelementes erfolgt eine Verformung des Sicherungssteges bzw. der Sicherungsstege, so dass sinngemäß eine formschlüssige Festlegung erfolgt, die wie eine Hinterschneidung zu sehen ist. Jeder Sicherungssteg erstreckt sich in Längsrichtung des Schaftes. When inserting each plug element, a deformation of the securing web or the securing webs, so that mutatis mutandis, a positive fixing is done, which is like an undercut to see. Each securing ridge extends in the longitudinal direction of the shaft.
Vorzugsweise sind am Schaft drei Sicherungsstege vorgesehen, die im gleichen Winkelabstand zueinander angeordnet sind. Dadurch bilden die Sicherungsstege sinngemäß eine Führung. Damit die plastische Verformung und die Bildung einer Hinterschneidung möglich ist, ist vorgesehen, dass jeder Einsteckkanal an der dem Kopf des angesetzten Steckelementes abgewandten Seite einen Freiraum aufweist. Ein optionaler Formschluss zwischen dem Betätigungselement und dem Kopf an deren einander zugewandten Seiten sorgt für eine Verdrehsicherung zwischen dem Kopf und dem Betätigungselement. In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist hierzu vorgesehen, dass jeder Kopf des Steckelementes an der dem Betätigungselement zugewandten Seite wenigstens einen Formsteg aufweist, der an der Außenfläche des Betätigungselementes in einer entsprechenden Formstegaufnahme einliegt. Preferably, three securing webs are provided on the shaft, which are arranged at the same angular distance from each other. As a result, the securing ridges form a guide accordingly. So that the plastic deformation and the formation of an undercut is possible, it is provided that each insertion channel has a free space on the side facing away from the head of the attached plug-in element. An optional positive connection between the actuating element and the head on their mutually facing sides ensures an anti-rotation between the head and the actuating element. In a preferred embodiment, it is provided for this purpose that each head of the plug element on the side facing the actuating element has at least one molding web, which rests on the outer surface of the actuating element in a corresponding Formstegaufnahme.
Im Hinblick auf eine Materialersparnis und eine gute Entformbarkeit aus dem Werkzeug ist es vorgesehen, dass der Querschnitt des Formsteges trapezför- mig ist. Üblicherweise werden die Steckelemente aus Kunststoff im Spritzgussverfahren mittels entsprechender Werkzeuge gefertigt. With regard to material savings and good releasability from the tool, it is provided that the cross section of the molding web is trapezoidal. Usually, the plug-in elements are made of plastic by injection molding using appropriate tools.
Anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels noch näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Reference to the accompanying drawings, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment. Show it:

Fig.1 zeigt beispielhaft eine Buchsenleiste 1 , die eine Steckgesichtsseite 2 aufweist, an der Buchsenkontakte 3 in hier beispielhaft zwei benachbarten Reihen angeordnet sind. Die Buchsenleiste 1 und deren Buchsenkontakte 3 sind zur Kontaktierung einer korrespondierenden - hier nicht dargestellten Stiftleiste mit Stiftkontakten oder zur Kontaktierung von Stiftkontakten auf einer Leiterplatte ausgebildet. Jeder Buchsenkontakt 3 ist an der von Steckgesicht abgewandten Seite leitend mit einer Anschlussvorrichtung 4 für einen Leiter verbunden. Diese Anschlussvorrichtungen 4 für Leiter sind hier als Direktsteckklemmen ausgebildet. Direktsteckklemmen sind z.B. aus der DE 20 2010 008 028 U1 bekannt. Sie weisen jeweils wenigstens eine vorzugsweise V-förmige Klemmfeder 5 auf, die in einem Klemmkäfig 6 ausgebildet - beispielsweise in diesen eingesetzt - ist. 1 shows an example of a female connector 1, which has a mating face 2, are arranged on the socket contacts 3 in this example, two adjacent rows. The female connector 1 and its female contacts 3 are formed for contacting a corresponding - not shown here pin strip with pin contacts or for contacting pin contacts on a circuit board. Each socket contact 3 is conductively connected to the side remote from the mating face with a connection device 4 for a conductor. These connection devices 4 for conductors are designed here as direct plug-in terminals. Direct plug-in terminals are known, for example, from DE 20 2010 008 028 U1. They each have at least one preferably V-shaped clamping spring 5, which is formed in a clamping cage 6 - for example, inserted into this - is.
Die Klemmfeder 5 weist einen Klemmschenkel 7 auf, der dazu ausgelegt ist, einen Leiter im Bereich einer Klemmstelle 8 gegen eine Innenwand 9 des Klemmkäfigs oder gegen eine Stromschiene zu drücken. The clamping spring 5 has a clamping leg 7, which is designed to press a conductor in the region of a clamping point 8 against an inner wall 9 of the clamping cage or against a busbar.
Die Anschlussvorrichtungen 4 und die mit diesen leitend verbundenen Buchsenkontakte sind in ein Gehäuse 10 eingesetzt. Dieses Gehäuse 10 ist mit einer Vielzahl von hier neben- und übereinander angeordneten Leiter- Einsteck- kanälen 1 1 versehen, in welchen die Leiter (hier nicht dargestellt) in die The connection devices 4 and the female contacts connected to these are inserted into a housing 10. This housing 10 is provided with a plurality of side by side and one above the other arranged ladder insertion channels 1 1, in which the conductors (not shown here) in the
Klemmstellen 8 einführbar sind. Clamping points 8 are inserted.
Jeder Anschlussvorrichtung 4 ist ein Betätigungselement 12 zugeordnet, welches dazu dient und ausgebildet ist, den Klemmschenkel niederzudrücken (in Leitereinführrichtung X), um die Klemmstelle 8 zu öffnen, beispielsweise zurEach connecting device 4 is associated with an actuating element 12, which serves and is designed to depress the clamping leg (in conductor insertion X) to open the clamping point 8, for example to
Entnahme eines angeschlossenen Leiters (oder auch zum Anschluss eines Leiters). Das Betätigungselement weist einen Einsteckkanal auf, hier einen sich in bzw. parallel zur Leitereinführöffnung erstreckende Einsteckkanal 13, der als Durchgangsöffnung ausgebildet ist, welcher das Betätigungselement in Ein- Steckrichtung X durchsetzt. Removal of a connected conductor (or to connect a conductor). The actuating element has a plug-in channel, in this case a plug-in channel 13 extending in or parallel to the conductor insertion opening and designed as a passage opening, which passes through the actuating element in the plug-in direction X.
Wenigstens einer oder hier in bevorzugter Ausführung jeder Anschlussvorrichtung 4 ist ferner eine Markiervorrichtung M zugeordnet, die als Steckelement ausgebildet ist. Die genaue Form der Steckelemente ergibt sich aus der Figur 1 in Verbindung mit der Figur 3. Danach besteht jedes Steckelement aus einem Kopf 14 und einem Schaft 15. Der Schaft 15 ist hier zylindrisch ausgebildet, während der Kopf 14 im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel quadratisch ausgebildet ist. Wie insbesondere die Figur 3 zeigt, ist der Schaft 15 des Steckelementes M mit mehreren, hier drei sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden Sicherungsstegen 16 versehen, wobei der Grunddurchmesser des Schaftes 15 geringer ist als der Durchmesser des Einsteckkanales 13. Dadurch kann jedes Steckelement M mit einem gewissen Kraftaufwand in den Einsteckkanal 13 eingeführt werden. Dabei werden die form- und materialfedernden Eigenschaften von Kunststoffen ausgenutzt, so dass eine formschlüssige Festlegung jedes Steckelementes M erfolgt. Dazu ist dann im Anschluss an jeden Einsteckkanal 13 noch ein Freiraum 17 vorgesehen. At least one or here in a preferred embodiment of each connection device 4 is further associated with a marking device M, which is designed as a plug-in element. The exact shape of the plug-in elements results from the figure 1 in conjunction with the figure 3. Thereafter, each plug element consists of a head 14 and a shaft 15. The shaft 15 is cylindrical here, while the head 14 is square in the present embodiment. As shown particularly in Figure 3, the shaft 15 of the plug element M is provided with a plurality, here three longitudinally extending securing webs 16, wherein the base diameter of the shaft 15 is smaller than the diameter of the Einsteckkanales 13. Thus, each male element M with a certain Force in the insertion channel 13 are introduced. Here, the shape and material springing properties of plastics are exploited, so that a positive fixing of each plug element M takes place. For this purpose, a free space 17 is then provided following each insertion channel 13.
Die Figur 1 zeigt, dass jedes Steckelement M bzw. der Kopf 14 jedes Steckelementes M an der dem Gehäuse 10 zugewandten Seite mindestens einen Formsteg 18 aufweist, der im Querschnitt hier vorzugsweise trapezförmig gestaltet ist. Diese Formstege 18 greifen im montierten Zustand in korrespondie- rend geformte Formstegaufnahmen 19 in der dem Kopf 14 zugewandten Seite des Betätigungselements 12. Hierdurch findet bei der Montage eine Ausrichtung statt sowie eine Zentrierung und es wird mit einfachen Mitteln eine zusätzliche Lage- und Verdrehsicherung zwischen dem Kopf 14 und dem Betätigungselement realisiert. Denkbar ist es auch, zur Herausnahme jedes Ste- ckelementes M ein Werkzeug in diesem Bereich einzuführen. Vorzugsweise ist die Fläche des Kopfes 14 in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Einsteckrichtung X größer als die Fläche der korrespondierenden Seite des Betätigungselementes 12, so dass einerseits eine große Fläche zur Beschriftung zur Verfügung steht und andererseits ggf. das Abnehmen erleichtert wird. FIG. 1 shows that each plug-in element M or the head 14 of each plug-in element M has at least one molding web 18 on the side facing the housing 10, which in cross-section is preferably trapezoidal in shape. In the assembled state, these forming webs 18 engage in correspondingly shaped mold web receptacles 19 in the side of the actuating element 12 facing the head 14. As a result, an alignment takes place during assembly and a centering, and an additional positional and anti-rotation lock between the Realized head 14 and the actuator. It is also conceivable to introduce a tool in this area to remove each piece element M. Preferably, the surface of the head 14 in a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction X is greater than the surface of the corresponding side of the actuating element 12, so that on the one hand a large area for labeling available and on the other hand, if necessary, the removal is facilitated.
Vorteilhaft ist, dass der Schaft 15 jedes Steckelementes M mit sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden Stegen 16 versehen ist, und dass unterhalb jedes Einsteckkanales 13 ein Freiraum 17 vorhanden ist, so dass eine formschlüssige Festlegung jedes Steckelementes M möglich ist, die wie eine Hinterschneidung wirkt. Ferner ist vorteilhaft, dass jeder Kopf 14 des Steckelementes M mitIt is advantageous that the shaft 15 of each plug element M is provided with longitudinally extending webs 16, and that below each Einsteckkanales 13 a space 17 is provided so that a positive fixing of each plug element M is possible, which acts as an undercut. Furthermore, it is advantageous that each head 14 of the plug element M with
