Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical terminal, and more particularly to a tilting lever terminal for connecting a conductor.
  • connection device for non stripped wires of different diameters become known.
  • Sawtooth-like cutting plates are provided on a cutting body, wherein the height of the contact blades increases from the insertion side in order to achieve correspondingly adapted opening widths for non-stripped lines of different diameters.
  • the electrical terminal comprises at least one holder and at least one clamping lever pivotally arranged thereon with at least one clamping unit for clamping at least one conductor between the clamping unit and a current bar. It is provided a hand lever which is pivotally received on the clamping lever to allow a dynamic transmission ratio during the closing operation and a high clamping force. There is provided at least one auxiliary lever, which connects the hand lever pivotally connected to the holder.
  • the electrical terminal according to the invention has many advantages, as it provides a simple and flexible connection option for electrical conductors and allows safe contact.
  • pivotally mounted clamping lever it is possible to the invention opening the electrical connection terminal so that an electrical conductor to be connected can be swung in from above into the opened connection terminal. The clamping state is then effected by pivoting the clamping lever.
  • the hand lever and the clamping lever are arranged such that a self-locking of the clamping state is effected. If the hand lever is transferred in this embodiment of the open state in the clamping state, a dead center is exceeded. The hand lever is in the clamping state in such a position in which only force must be applied again to move the hand lever from the clamping state to the open state.
  • auxiliary levers are provided, which are arranged in particular symmetrically on both sides of the housing or on both sides of the holder.
  • the at least one Auxiliary levers are a particularly effective gear ratio and a dynamic change of the gear ratio possible.
  • one side of the auxiliary lever is pivotally held on the holder.
  • Another side of the auxiliary lever is preferably pivotally connected to the hand lever. It is possible that the pivot points of the auxiliary lever are each arranged close to the respective ends of the auxiliary lever. But it is also possible that the pivot points have on the one and on the other side of the auxiliary lever a considerable distance from the respective end of the auxiliary lever.
  • the hand lever is pivotally connected at one end to the clamping lever and at another end pivotally connected to the auxiliary lever.
  • the term “at the end” also means a clear distance from the absolute end of the hand lever. Thus, distances of 20 or 30% of the total length to the respective pivot point are possible. The total length is determined by the functionally required length for the pivoting movement, so that the definition of the ends refers to the functionally required for the pivoting action length.
  • the clamping unit comprises at least one clamping foot and / or at least one clamping point and / or at least one clamping point.
  • the clamping unit comprises a clamping foot or a plurality of clamping feet, each clamping foot having a clamping prong or a plurality of clamping prongs, which lead to a particularly secure hold of the clamped conductor to the electrical terminal.
  • the clamping prongs or instead of the clamping prongs clamping points are provided which dig into the material of the conductor in order to achieve a high Auszieh
  • At least one spring device is provided to counteract subsidence phenomena. It is possible that the electrical terminal itself or at least some parts or components thereof cause or at least contribute to the spring action of the spring device.
  • the spring action of the spring means is at least partially generated by at least one component of a group of components, said group of components comprising the holder and the hand lever and the auxiliary lever.
  • the entire spring effect can be generated by the terminal itself and by the components involved, without a spring in the form of, for example, a spiral or leaf spring or the like is present.
  • a very high spring stiffness is provided, which provides a reliable hold even with large conductor cross-sections guaranteed. Settling phenomena are reliably compensated.
  • the spring device has at least one clamping spring, wherein at least one clamping spring is preferably provided on the clamping unit. It is also possible and preferred for a plurality of clamping springs, in particular designed as leaf springs, to be provided on the clamping unit. Such particular parallel leaf springs increase the spring force with increasing deflection, so that for larger conductor cross-sections, a greater spring force is applied than for smaller conductor cross-sections.
  • clamping springs on the clamping unit and in particular the clamping foot of the clamping lever may also be provided at least one spring unit which presses in particular from below against the current bar.
  • the clamping unit can be provided above the current bar and the spring unit can be arranged below the current bar. In such an embodiment, pressure is applied to the conductor located between the clamping unit and the current bar from above through the clamping unit, while the current bar is pressed from below through the spring unit against the conductor.
  • the conductor is inserted below the current bar, so that the current bar is pressed by the clamping unit against the head.
  • the hand lever has a tool holder.
  • the hand lever may have an insertion opening for a tool, so that a Tool such as a screwdriver or the like can be inserted into the hand lever. This lengthens the effective length of the hand lever so that a much greater force can be applied with the hand lever. At the same time, the operation is facilitated by the insertion of a tool in the hand lever.
  • the hand lever and / or the holder and / or the auxiliary lever in each case substantially or even completely consist of one or more bent metal strips.
  • Such a configuration allows a stable construction of the terminal according to the invention, wherein the production is simple and inexpensive.
  • the holder has at least one stop for the auxiliary lever and / or the hand lever.
  • a defined closed position is provided because the hand lever must be moved until the auxiliary lever and / or the hand lever itself strikes the stop of the holder.
  • At least one stop for the open state is provided to limit the opening movement.
  • a high power transmission is present in order to transmit the force applied to the hand lever to a considerable extent reinforced on the clamping lever.

  • At least one insulating layer and / or an insulating housing are provided to isolate the electrical terminal to the outside.
  • the proposed electrical terminal provides a tilting lever clamp with a dynamic leverage available, which is pressed when swiveling the conductor located in the terminal on the current bar. Due to the dynamic leverage is in an upper pivot range, in which no large force is needed, in particular a lever reduction provided. This means that a small pivoting movement of the hand lever causes a relatively large pivoting movement of the clamping lever. In the area in which the conductor is clamped, a sliding lever translation sets, so that a large pivoting movement of the hand lever causes a relatively smaller movement of the clamping lever. In a corresponding manner, a higher pressure force is applied to the conductor.
  • the use of spring elements allows a certain elasticity of the construction and thus also the operation with different conductor cross sections. At the same time, the setting behavior of the conductor is compensated. By overcoming a dead center, a secure clamped state is achieved.
