Description

Klemmeinheit einer elektrischen Anschlussklemme Clamping unit of an electrical terminal
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Klemmeinheit einer elektrischen Anschlussklemme. Weiter richtet sich die Erfindung auf eine elektrische Anschlussklemme umfassend eine derartige Klemmeinheit. The invention is directed to a clamping unit of an electrical terminal. Further, the invention is directed to an electrical terminal comprising such a clamping unit.
Elektrische Anschlussklemmen, welche auf eine Stiftliste mit ein oder mehreren Stiftkontakten aufgesteckt werden können, können Leiteranschlussbereiche aufweisen, die durch Anziehen einer Schraube einen anzuschließenden Leiter fixieren können. Diese steckbaren Schraubklemmen haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass ein Direktanschluss von starren Leitern nicht möglich ist. Zudem ist der Betätigungsaufwand und damit die Leiteranschlusszeit im Vergleich zu einer Federkraftklemme, bei welcher der Leiter anstatt mit einer Schraube mit einer Klemmfeder fixiert wird, größer. Hierbei sind Anschlussklemmen bekannt, welche zusätzlich zu der Klemmfeder eine Kontakttulpe als Stiftkontaktierungselement zum Kontaktieren des Stiftkontaktes der Stiftleiste aufweisen. Bei den bekannten Anschlussklemmen ist es jedoch nachteilig, dass die Klemmfeder und die Kontakttulpe normalerweise untereinander angeordnet sind, wie dies beispielsweise in der DE 10 2006 014 646 AI beschrieben ist, was zu einem erhöhten Platzbedarf führt. Electrical connection terminals, which can be plugged onto a pin list with one or more pin contacts, can have conductor connection areas, which can fix a conductor to be connected by tightening a screw. However, these pluggable screw terminals have the disadvantage that a direct connection of rigid conductors is not possible. In addition, the operating cost and thus the conductor connection time in comparison to a spring-loaded terminal, in which the conductor is fixed instead of a screw with a clamping spring, larger. Here, terminals are known, which in addition to the clamping spring have a contact tulip as Stiftkontaktierungselement for contacting the pin contact of the pin header. In the known connection terminals, however, it is disadvantageous that the clamping spring and the contact tulip are usually arranged with each other, as described for example in DE 10 2006 014 646 AI, which leads to an increased space requirement.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Lösung zu schaffen, mittels welcher die Baugröße einer elektrischen Anschlussklemme wesentlich reduziert werden kann. The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a solution by means of which the size of an electrical terminal can be substantially reduced.

Stiftkontaktierungselement having a spring arm, which is arranged substantially parallel to the busbar and which is connected via a connecting piece with the busbar.
Bei einer elektrischen Anschlusskiemme der eingangs näher bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch eine elektrische Anschlussklemme umfassend eine Klemmeinheit nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 5 gelöst . In an electrical Anschlusskiemme of the type described in more detail, this object is achieved by an electrical terminal comprising a clamping unit according to one of claims 1 to 5.
Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und vorteilhafteAdvantageous embodiments and advantageous
Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben . Die Klemineinhe.it einer elektrischen Anschlussklemme gemäß der Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus , dass sie gegenüber den bekannten in einer Anschlussklemme verwendeten Klemmeinheiten mit einer Klemmfeder und einemFurther developments of the invention are described in the subclaims. The Klemineinhe.it an electrical terminal according to the invention is characterized in that it compared to the known clamping units used in a terminal with a clamping spring and a
Stiftkontaktierungselement wesentlich kleinere Abmessungen und damit eine geringere Baugröße aufweis . Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anschlussklemme kann ein in der Anschlussklemme angeschlossener Leiter parallel zu einem eingeführ en Stiftkontakt positioniert sein, wobei durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung der Anschlussklemme sowohl der eingeführte Leiter als auch der Stiftkontakt an derselben Stromschiene zur Ausbildung einer Kontaktierung anliegen können. Der eingeführte Leiter wird dabei mittels der Klemmfeder an eine erste Seitenfläche der Stromschiene geklemmt und der eingeführte Stiftkontakt wird mittels des Federarmes an eine der ersten Seitenfläche gegenüberliegenden zweiten Seitenfläche der Stromschiene geklemmt gehalten. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass der eingeführte Leiter unmittelbar neben dem eingeführten Stiftkontakt positioniert ist, wobei der Leiter und der Stiftkontakt nur durch die Stromschiene voneinander getrennt sind. Hierdurch kann ein sehr kurzer Stromweg vom Leiter zum Kontaktstift erreicht werden, was zu einem verringerten Spannungsabfall und einer gleichzeitig reduzierten Bauhöhe der Anschlussklemme führt. Der Stiftkontakt wird mittels des Federarmes, welcher unmittelbar über das Verbindungsstück mit der Stromschiene verbunden ist, geklemmt gehalten, indem der Federarm den Stiftkontakt gegen die Stromschiene drückt. Hierbei weist die Klemmeinheit vorzugsweise genau einen Federarm auf. Das Vorsehen von zwei oder mehr Federarmen ist hier nicht erforderlich. Durch das Vorsehen eines relativ zu der Stromschiene elastisch bewegbaren Federarmes ist es möglich, den Abstand zwischen der Stromschiene und dem Federarm in Abhängigkeit der Anforderungen anzupassen. Dadurch ist es möglich, Stiftkontakte mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern in der Klemmeinheit geklemmt zu halten. Dadurch können sowohl Stiftkontakte mit einem kleinen Durchmesser als auch Stiftkontakte mit einem großen Durchmesser sicher in der Klemmeinheit kontaktiert werden. Zum Anschließen des Stiftkontaktes kann der Stiftkontakt leicht in den Freiraum zwischen der Stromschiene und dem Federarm eingeschoben werden, wobei der Federarm in Abhängigkeit des Durchmessers des Stiftkontaktes ausfedern kann. Im kontaktierenden Zustand, d. h . wenn der Stiftkontakt an der Stromschiene anliegt, liegt der Stiftkontakt mit seiner Längsseitenfläche vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge der Stromschiene an der Stromschiene an. Dadurch wird eine besonders lange Kontaktfläche zwischen dem Stiftkontakt und der Stromschiene ermöglicht, wodurch eine lange Kontak11inie zur Übertragung von Strom ausgebildet werden kann . Dies ermöglicht eine sichere Stromübertragung auch bei einer geringen Flächenpressung, weiche durch die Andruckkraft des Federarmes des Stiftkontaktierungselementes auf den Stiftkontakt erzeugt wird. Da somit aufgrund der Ausgestaltung des Stiftkontaktierungselementes mit dem Federam nur eine relativ geringe Flächenpressung für eine sichere Kontaktierung notwendig ist, kann der Verschleiß des Stiftkontaktes , der durch ein häufiges einführen und lösen des Stiftkontaktes hervorgerufen wird, wesentlich reduziert werden. Ferner zeichnet sich die Anschlussklemme dadurch aus, dass die Steckrichtung des Kontaktstiftes und des Leiters sowie die Bedienrichtung zum Lösen des Leiters gleich sind. Nach einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Anschlussklemme ist das Verbindungsstück ein Biegegelenk. Das Biegegelenk ermöglicht eine verbesserte Federwirkung des Federarmes, um eine besonders flexible Anpassbarkeit des Federarmes an die Größe des einzuführenden und anzuschließenden Stiftkontaktes zu erreichen. Das Verbindungsstück bzw. das Biegegelenk ist hierbei vorzugsweise aus einem im wesentlichen halbkreisförmig geformten Metallband ausgebildet, welches an einem freien Ende des Federarmes und einem freien Ende der Stromschiene angeordnet ist, um den Federarm mit der Stromschiene zu verbinden. Stiftkontaktierungselement much smaller dimensions and thus have a smaller size. In the terminal according to the invention, a conductor connected in the terminal can be positioned parallel to a pen contact inserted, wherein the inventive design of the terminal both the inserted conductor and the pin contact can rest on the same busbar to form a contact. The inserted conductor is thereby by means of the clamping spring to a first side surface of the busbar clamped and the inserted pin contact is held clamped by means of the spring arm to a second side surface of the bus bar opposite the first side face. Thereby, it is possible that the inserted conductor is positioned immediately adjacent to the inserted pin contact, the conductor and the pin contact being separated from each other only by the bus bar. This allows a very short current path from the conductor to the contact pin can be achieved, resulting in a reduced voltage drop and a reduced height of the terminal. The pin contact is held clamped by means of the spring arm, which is directly connected via the connecting piece to the busbar, in that the spring arm presses the pin contact against the busbar. In this case, the clamping unit preferably has exactly one spring arm. The provision of two or more spring arms is not required here. By providing a relative to the busbar elastically movable spring arm, it is possible to adjust the distance between the busbar and the spring arm depending on the requirements. This makes it possible to keep pin contacts with different diameters clamped in the clamping unit. As a result, both pin contacts with a small diameter and pin contacts with a large diameter can be securely contacted in the clamping unit. To connect the pin contact the pin contact can be easily inserted into the space between the busbar and the spring arm, wherein the spring arm can rebound as a function of the diameter of the pin contact. In the contacting state, d. H . when the pin contact rests against the busbar, the pin contact is preferably over with its longitudinal side surface the entire length of the busbar to the power rail. This allows a particularly long contact area between the pin contact and the bus bar, whereby a long Kontak11inie can be formed for the transmission of electricity. This allows a safe power transmission even at a low surface pressure, which is generated by the pressing force of the spring arm of the Stiftkontaktierungselementes on the pin contact. Since only a relatively small surface pressure for a secure contact is thus necessary due to the design of the Stiftkontaktierungselementes with the Federam, the wear of the pin contact, which is caused by a frequent insertion and release of the pin contact, can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the terminal is characterized in that the plugging direction of the contact pin and the conductor and the operating direction for releasing the conductor are the same. According to a preferred embodiment of the terminal, the connector is a bending joint. The flexure allows an improved spring action of the spring arm to achieve a particularly flexible adaptability of the spring arm to the size of the inserted and to be connected pin contact. The connecting piece or the bending joint is in this case preferably formed from a substantially semicircular shaped metal strip, which is arranged at a free end of the spring arm and a free end of the bus bar to connect the spring arm to the busbar.
Weiter ist es bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das Stiftkontaktierungselement einstückig mit der Stromschiene ausgebildet ist, so dass das Stiftkontaktierungselement und die Stromschiene aus demselben Material ausgebildet sind. Das Verbindungsstück und der Federarm sind somit vorzugsweise ebenso wie die Stromschiene aus einem leitenden Metall ausgebildet, wodurch höhere übertragbare Stromstärken erreicht werden können . Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the pin contacting element is integral with the busbar is formed, so that the Stiftkontaktierungselement and the busbar are formed of the same material. The connector and the spring arm are thus preferably as well as the busbar formed of a conductive metal, whereby higher transferable currents can be achieved.
Eine weiter vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Klemmeinheit sieht gemäß der Erfindung vor, dass die Klemmeinheit eine u- förmig ausgebildete Kontakttasche aufweist, welche einen ersten Schenkel und einen dem ersten Schenkel gegenüberliegenden zweiten Schenkel aufweist, wobei der zweite Schenkel die Stromschiene ausbildet. Die Kontakttasche bildet einen geschützten Auf ahmeraum für die Klemmfeder und stellt gleichzeitig eine Stromschiene und bei einer einstückigen Ausbildung der Stromschiene mit dem Stiftkontaktierungselement ein Stiftkontaktierungselement zur Verfügung. Dadurch kann eine besonders kompakte Klemmeinheit und damit auch eine besonders kompakt ausgebildete Anschlussklemme zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Zudem kann die Anzahl der notwendigen Bauteile reduziert werden und die Anordnung der einzelnen Bauteile zueinander ist in einem festgelegten Rahmen verrutschsicher möglich. Die Klemmtasche ist vorzugsweise vollständig aus einem leitenden Metall ausgebildet und kann in einem Isolierstoffgehäuse einer Anschlussklemme positioniert werden . A further advantageous embodiment of the clamping unit provides according to the invention that the clamping unit has a U-shaped contact pocket, which has a first leg and a second leg opposite the first leg, wherein the second leg forms the busbar. The contact pocket forms a protected on imagining space for the clamping spring and at the same time provides a busbar and in a one-piece design of the busbar with the Stiftkontaktierungselement a Stiftkontaktierungselement available. As a result, a particularly compact clamping unit and thus also a particularly compact connection terminal can be provided. In addition, the number of necessary components can be reduced and the arrangement of the individual components to each other in a fixed frame is possible slip-proof. The clamping pocket is preferably formed entirely of a conductive metal and can be positioned in an insulating housing of a terminal.
Ferner ist es vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Klemmfeder einen Klemmschenkel und einen Abstützschenkel aufweist, wobei die Klemmfeder mit ihrem Abstützschenkel flächig an dem ersten Schenkel der Kontakttasche anliegt . Dadurch, dass die Klemmfeder mit ihrem Abstützschenke! flächig an dem ersten Schenkel der Kontakttasche anliegt, ist die Klemmfeder sicher in der Kontakttasche positioniert, so dass insbesondere ein unerwünschtes Verrutschen der Klemmfeder verhindert werden kann. Zudem kann hierdurch die Klemmkraft der Klemmfeder erhöht werden. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the clamping spring has a clamping leg and a support leg, wherein the clamping spring rests with its support leg areally on the first leg of the contact pocket. Because the clamping spring with its support leg! flat on abuts the first leg of the contact pocket, the clamping spring is securely positioned in the contact pocket, so that in particular undesirable slipping of the clamping spring can be prevented. In addition, this can increase the clamping force of the clamping spring.

In Fig. 1, a clamping unit 1 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. The clamping unit 1 has a busbar 2, a Kiemmfeder 3 for clamping a conductor not shown here on the busbar 2 and a Stiftkontaktierungselement 4 for contacting a pin contact 5 of a pin header 6, as shown in Fig. 2, on.
Das Stiftkontaktierungselement 4 weist einen Federarm 7 auf, welcher im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Stromschiene 2 angeordnet ist und welcher über ein Verbindungsstück 8 mit der Stromschiene 2 verbunden ist. Der Federarm 7 ist aus einem Metallband ausgebildet, dessen Längsseitenfläche der Längsseitenfläche der Stromschiene 2 gegenüberliegt. Zwischen dem Federarm 7 und der Stromschiene 2 ist ein Aufnahmeraum 9 ausgebildet, in welchen der Stiftkontakt 5 eingeführt werden kann, wie dies in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist . Der Aufnähmeräum 9 ist in einem Nichtgebrauchszustand, d. h. wenn kein Stiftkontakt 5 eingeführt ist, vorzugsweise kleiner als der Durchmesser des zu kontaktierenden Stiftkontaktes 5. Beim Einführen des Stiftkontaktes 5 in den Aufnähmeräum 9 wird dadurch der Federarm 7 gegen die Federkraft nach außen, von der Stromschiene 2 weggedrückt, so das:; der Federarm 7 eine Klemmkraft auf den Stiftkontakt 5 aufbringen kann. Der in den Aufnähmeräum 9 eingeführte Stiftkontakt 5 wird dadurch mittels des Federarmes 7 an die Stromschiene 2 gedrückt , so dass der Stiftkontakt 5 vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge der Stromschiene 2 an der Stromschiene 2 flächig anliegt, so dass eine möglichst große Kontaktfläche zwischen dem Stiftkontakt 5 und der Stromschiene 2 ausgebildet wird. Der Federarm 7 erstreckt sich vorzugsweis über ungefähr 2/3 der Länge der Stromschiene 2. Der Federarm 7 ist ferner über das Verbindungsstück 8 einstückig mit der Stromschiene 2 verbunden, so dass der Federarm 7 und das Verbindungsstück 8 vorzugsweise aus dem gleichen Material, einem leitenden Metall, wie die Stromschiene 2 ausgebildet sind.
