FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of a first embodiment of a test and terminal device assembly. 1

The arrangement 1 is a test and connection device arrangement and comprises a test device 2 and a connection device 3.

The test device 2 is provided for insertion into the connection device 3 and serves for testing and measuring electrical values of electrical devices connected to the connection device 3, which will not be described in detail.

The test apparatus 2 has a Prüfvorrichtungsgehäuse 23 and is not shown in detail. In the housing not described further plug-in and switching devices for testing and / or measuring purposes are arranged. At the bottom of the test device 2 pin elements 24 are mounted, of which only one example is shown here by way of example for all others. With these pin elements 24 and optionally other plugs, which will not be discussed further, the test device 2 is inserted into the connection device 3.

In this first embodiment, the connection device 3 is provided for mounting on a mounting rail 25 and fixed with its underside thereon in the longitudinal direction 333 of the connection device 3, e.g. as shown here by means of holder 4b. The holders 4b will be described further below. The test device 2 is shown inserted from the top of the connection device 3 forth in the connection device 3.

The connecting device 3 has in this embodiment (see FIG. 4 and 5 ) seven juxtaposed terminal or connection units 300, of which in FIG. 1 and 2 one with its housing 4 is representative of the other shown in section. The connection units 300 are each used to connect electrical lines that are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the connection device 3 (which in FIG. 1 and 2 perpendicular to the plane of the drawing) can be inserted on both sides into the connection units 300 and can be fastened in clamping units 5 and 7. The clamping units 5 and 7 are shown in this embodiment as a pair, of course, larger pairs are possible. The clamping units 5 and 7 are provided here with screws, which can be reached by a respective operating portion 10 a, 10 b from the top of the connecting device 3 ago. The clamping unit 5 is connected to a bus bar 6, wherein the opposite clamping unit 7 is mirror-inverted connected to a busbar 8. The busbars 6 and 8 lie in one plane and are electrically isolated from each other in a separating element 22 received.

Above the busbar 6, a first chamber 11 for receiving a first compression spring 15 is arranged in the housing 4. On the left side, a further first chamber 12 for receiving a further first compression spring 16 is formed at the same height. Each first compression spring 15, 16 cooperates with a first contact lug 15a, 16a (see FIG. 3 ), which are arranged between the first compression spring 15, 16. In the FIG. 1 is located between the first contact lugs 15a, 16a (which can not be seen here, see FIG. 3 ) and the compression springs, the inserted pin member 24 of the test apparatus 2, which will be discussed in more detail below. Without inserted pin element 24, ie without inserted test device 2, the two first compression springs 15 and 16 press the first contact lugs 15a, 16a against each other ( FIG. 3 ) and establish between them an electrically conductive contact, which is inserted with the test device 2 (as in FIG. 1 shown) is interrupted by the pin member 24.

The pin member 24 is attached to or integrally formed with a connection 24a on the underside of the tester housing 23. It is representative of more. The connection 24a is followed by a pin body 24b with a pin tip 24c. The pin element 24 of the test device 2 is inserted through a first opening 19 a of a first opening portion 19 of the housing 4 of the connection device 3 between the first compression springs 15 and 16. The first opening portion 19 is located at the top of the housing 4 of the connecting device 3. The pen tip 24c is used when inserting for pushing and pushing apart the first contact lugs 15a and 16a of the first compression springs 15 and 16 and is received in the inserted state in the separating element 22, which for this purpose has a receptacle which corresponds to the pen tip 24c. In the inserted state, the first contact lugs 15a and 16a are pressed by the first compression springs 15 and 16 with their contact portions separated by the pin element 24 against the pin body 24b, which is designed to be electrically insulating. When inserting the pin body 24b between the contact lugs 15a, 16a, the pin body 24b therefore separates the electrical connection between the contact lugs 15a, 16a. Particularly preferred are on the pin body 24 b but each at the contact lugs 15 a, 16 a side facing electrically conductive contact plates 24 d (s. Fig. 9b ), which pick off a voltage applied in each case to the contact lugs 15a, 16a, so that a current circuit flowing via the contact lugs 15a, 16a is indeed interrupted. In or via the test device 2, however, the contact plates 24d are provided with different measuring meters 33 (see FIG. Fig. 9b ), so that, for example, the voltage applied to the contact lugs 15a, 16a, the current flowing over the contact lugs 15a, 16a, a frequency, a power, a resistance or the like can be measured.

The first compression springs 15 and 16 are inserted in the first chambers 11 and 12 under bias, so that a certain contact pressure of the first contact lugs 15a and 16a is present during their contacting.

In the same way, a second chamber 13 is arranged with a second compression spring 17 below the busbar 6 in the housing 4. On the left side, a further second chamber 14 for receiving a further second compression spring 18 is formed at the same height. The second compression springs 17 and 18 are associated with the first compression springs 15 and 16 second contact lugs 17 a and 18 a (see FIG. 3 and 7 ). The second compression springs 17 and 18 are electrically connected in parallel with the first compression springs 15, 16. With it inserted tester 2 and an electrical contact of the second contact lugs 1 7a and 1 8a of the second compression springs 17, 18 is interrupted with each other is between the contact portions the second contact lugs ¹ 7a and 18a of the second compression springs 17, 18 a plug element 21 is inserted

The second compression springs 17 and 18 are used in the second chambers 13 and 14 under bias to produce a certain contact pressure in the contacting of the second contact lugs 17 a and 18 a.

The plug-in element 21 is formed like a nail, has a head 21 a and an adjoining shaft 21 b with a tip 21 c. It is shown as representative of others and inserted through a second opening 20a of a second opening section 20 of the housing 4 on the underside thereof between the second compression springs 17 and 18. The tip 21 c is used when inserting for threading and pushing apart the second contact lugs 17a and 18a of the second compression springs 17 and 18 and is included in the inserted state in the separator 22 soft analogous to the pen tip 24c of the pin member 24 has a receptacle that with the When plugged in, the second compression springs 17 and 18, with their contact sections separated by the plug-in element 21, rest on the shaft 21 b, which is designed to be electrically insulating.

By the first and second chambers 11, 12 and 13, 14, the connecting device 3 is not only suitable for use on mounting rails 25, but also for other types of mounting, as in FIG. 2 in a schematic sectional view of a second embodiment of the test and terminal device assembly 1 is shown.

The connection device 3 is in this case attached with its underside on one side to a wall element 26 with wall openings 26a and wall cutouts 26b. The supports 4a of the housing 4 pass through the wall openings 26a, wherein the second opening portion 20 of the housing 4 on its underside protrudes through the wall cutout 26b.

The test device 2 is arranged on the other side of the wall element 26, wherein its pin member 24 is inserted through the second opening 20a of the second opening portion 20 between the second contact lugs 17a and 18a of the second compression springs 17 and 18 of the second chambers 13 and 14. The test device 2 is thus inserted on the underside of the connection device 3 in this. The supports 4a of the connection device 3 rest on the underside of the test device 2, so that the test apparatus 2 and the connecting device 3 are defined spaced from each other.

The plug-in element 21 is inserted in this second embodiment from the top of the connecting device 3 through the first opening portion 19 between the first contact lugs 15a and 16a of the first compression springs 15 and 16 for the separation thereof.

The other functional elements and groups are already related to FIG. 1 described.

Thus, the connection device 3 can be plugged together on both sides with the test device 2.

If the connection device 3 is provided for mounting rail mounting, it is equipped with the plug-in elements 21 from the bottom. At e.g. a wall mounting, in which the connection device 3 is best accessible from the bottom, the plug-in elements 21 are inserted from the top of the connection device 3.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic sectional view of the second embodiment according to FIG. 2 with first and second contact lugs 15a, 16a, 17a, 18a.

The first and second contact lugs 15a, 16a and 17a, 18a face each other as pairs between the first compression springs 15 and 16 and the second compression springs 17, 18. The second contact lugs 15a and 16a contact, since no plug-in element 21 is inserted yet. The first and second contact lugs 15a, 16a and 17a, 18a have spring portions 15b, 16b, 17b, 18b, with which they are each electrically fixed to the busbars 6 and 8. Therefore, in each case the mirror image of the busbars 6, 8 opposite each other contact lugs 15a, 17a and 16a, 18a by the busbars 6, 8 connected electrically contacting each other. In other words, the contact lugs 15a and 17a are connected to the bus bar 6, and the contact lugs 16a and 18a are connected to the bus bar 8.

In the FIG. 3 the upper, first contact lugs 15a and 16a are shown without plug-in element 21, wherein the lower, second contact lugs 17a and 18a are pushed apart by the pin element 24.

FIG. 4 shows in a a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a connecting device 3 with a tamper-evident in a first position, in b arranging the tamper protection and FIG. 5 shows this manipulation protection in a second position.

As already described above, the connecting device 3 in this embodiment, seven juxtaposed clamping or

Connection units 300 on. In the FIGS. 4a-b and 5 the first opening sections 19 with the first openings 19a can be seen. In this embodiment, the first compression springs 15, 16 are arranged cooperatively with contact lugs 15a, 16a, of which only the contact lugs 16a cooperating with the first compression springs 16 can be seen.

By housing 4 of the connecting device 3 are on both longitudinal sides on the clamping units 5, ₇ (which are not visible), elongated protective elements 27 are arranged, which are held longitudinally displaceable in guides 4c of the housing 4 in the longitudinal direction of the connecting device 3. The protective elements 27 are arranged in opposite directions. The protective elements 27 are in the first, closed position, ie the actuating portions 10a and 10b of the clamping units 5, 7 are located below the protective elements 27 and are not accessible.

In the closed position, the operating parts 27a of the protective elements 27 abut against a stop 4d of the housing 4 with an edge.

The protective elements 27 have per clamping unit 5, 7 in each case a cover panel 27c with a cover opening 27d. So that the actuating portions 10a and 10b of the clamping units can be made accessible, the protective elements 27 are displaceable in the direction of the arrows in opposite directions by means of a tool 28 via their actuators 2 ₇ a in the second position.

The clamping units 5, 7 are formed here as drawbar connections (s. Fig. 1 ). The invention is not limited to this training. But the clamping units 5, 7 can also be designed with a different connection technology, for example as Zugfederanschlüsse.

Optionally, the connecting device 3 according to the invention offers the possibility of electrically connecting a plurality of clamping units 5, 7 via transverse connectors 70. The cross connectors 70, like the Fig. 4 (b) shows inserted during the assembly process below the protective elements 27 in the operating sections 10a, 10b in a plug-in direction 700, so that in each case a plug contact 71 of the cross connector 70 engages in an actuating portion 10 a, 10 b and the cross connector 70, the actuating portions 10 a, 10 b, in which the plug contacts 71 is inserted are plugged in, electrically interconnected. The protective element 27 is inserted after insertion of the cross connector 70 in the guides 4c, so that the cross connector 70 is inaccessible in the delivery state of the connecting device 3.

In the in FIG. 5 shown second position, the protective elements 27 are shifted so that the Abd The holders 4b have a further holding function by means of the wall holding sections 4f, which in FIG FIG. 7 is shown.

FIG. 7 shows a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of the connecting device 3 in wall mounting from below.

In this embodiment, the connecting device 3 with its underside in a wall section 26b of the wall element 26 (see also FIG. 2 ) used. The outwardly facing wall holding portions 4f of the holder 4b engage over an edge of the wall section 26b of the wall element 26 and hold and fasten the connecting device 3 to the wall element 26. For mounting the holder 4b can be inserted, for example, in corresponding openings on the bottom of the housing 4 and be locked.

In FIG. 7 is the bottom of the connecting device 3 with the second opening portion 20 and the second openings 20a for insertion of the test apparatus 2 (see FIG. 2 ) clearly visible. In addition, the ends of the second contact lugs 17a and 18a can be seen.

The holders 4b thus allow the connection device 3 to be mounted both on a mounting rail 25 and on a wall cutout 26b of a wall element 26.

It is conceivable that the compression springs 15, 16 and 17,18 are provided at their contact points with contact portions of special contact material or cooperate with the contact lugs 15a, 16a, 17a, 18a.

Fig. 8 shows in Fig. 8a a further embodiment of a connecting device 3. The connecting device 3 has the seven terminal units 300. On both sides of the terminal units 300 holding units 302 are arranged, in each of which a holding element 400 is provided for fastening the connecting device 3 to a support rail 25 or a wall bracket 26. The holding units 302 are each closed at the front by means of a closure unit 301. The end faces are shown here by arrows 303. In principle, further connection units 300 can also be positioned between the closure units 301 and the holding units 302. In addition, even more adhesive units 302 can be positioned between the connection units 300.

Each of the holding elements 400 has in each case two holder pairs 4b, on each of which a nose-shaped carrier rail holding section 4e, and in each case an elongate wall holding section 4f are provided. The holding elements 400 are manufactured in one piece as stamped and bent parts and can be arranged in a receiving space 401 of the holding units 400.

The Fig. 8b shows by way of example a holding unit 302 without the holding element 400. Instead, a connection element 440 for the holding element 400 is shown. The connecting element 440 is formed as a molded part and made for example of a plastic, a light metal or a light metal alloy. It is attached to a displacement means 304, which is designed here as a screw. The displacement means 304 is arranged rotatably about an axis in the housing 4 of the holding unit 302. In the connection element 440, furthermore, a nut 305 is arranged in a defined position, which is screwed onto the displacement means 304. Therefore, by rotating the displacement means 304 in and against a displacement direction 31 extending in the direction of the axis, the connection element 440 is displaceable relative to the housing 4 of the holding unit 302.

The Fig. 8c and 8d show the holding unit 302 with arranged on the connecting element 440 holding member 400, wherein the Fig. 8c a perspective view and the Fig. 8d show a front view. The holding element 400 is fastened to the connection element 440, for example latched. As a result, it is displaceable with the connection element 440 in and against the displacement direction 31. For the sake of intuition is in the Fig. 8c a cutout 401 in the holding element 400 is released, through which the arranged on the displacement means 304 nut 305 is visible.

In the Fig. 8d the holding unit 302 or the holding element 400 is attached to a wall element 26. The Fig. 8e shows the attached to the wall element 26 holding unit 302 with frontally arranged closure unit 301. In the Fig. 8f the holding unit 302, which is closed at the end by means of the closure unit 301, is arranged on a hat-shaped mounting rail 25 instead of on a wall element 26.

The Fig. 8g - i show the positioning of the holding unit 302 on a wall element 26 by way of example.

First, the holders 4b arranged on a side I of the holding unit 302 or the connecting device 3 are guided through a wall opening 26a of the wall element 26, so that the wall holding sections 4f engage behind the wall element 26. Subsequently, the holders 4b of the other side II are guided by rotation in a rotational direction 4g through the wall opening 26a. After that the holding unit 302 or the connecting device 3 is moved so that the wall holding portions 4f of the other side engage behind the wall element. Subsequently, the holding element 302 or the connection device 3 is displaced relative to the housing 4 by rotating the displacement means 304 until the holding element 302 or the connection device 3 is fixed to the wall element 26.

In Fig. 9 the assembly of the connecting device 3 is shown on an adapter plate 9. The connection device 3 has a plurality of connection units 300 for connecting electrical conductors, which are arranged in a row. In addition, the connection device 3 has a bottom side 306 (see FIG. Fig. 7 ).

To mount the connection device 3 to a closed wall 900, an adapter plate 9 is provided which has a cutout 90 for receiving elements 4a, 4b, 307 of the connection device 3. Such elements are, for example, supports 4a, holder 4b for fastening the connection device 3 to a mounting rail 25 and / or into a wall cutout 26b, or contact regions 307 (see FIG. Fig. 7 ), in which, for example, electrical contacts 17a, 18a are provided. The height 4h (s. Fig. 8c ) of these elements 4a, 4b, 307 is smaller than the thickness 91 of the adapter plate 9 (s. Fig. 9c ), so that the adapter plate 9 completely accommodates the elements 4a, 4b, 307 when the connection device 3 is mounted on the adapter plate 9.

The connecting device 3 shown here has the holder 4b for attaching the connecting device 3 to the mounting rail 25 or in the wall cutout 26b. However, an embodiment which does not include such holders 4b is preferred.

In order to fasten the connection device 3 to the adapter plate 9, the connection device 3 has screws 304 'with which it can be screwed to the adapter plate 9. For this purpose, 9 protrusions 92 are provided on the adapter plate, which are positioned below the screws 304 'and protrude into the cutout 91.

In principle, however, is also a locking of the connecting device 3 to the adapter plate 9, or another attachment, possible.

In the arrangement of connecting device 3 and adapter plate 9 shown here, the connecting device 3 analogously to the representation of Fig. 8a two holding units 302, in each of which a holding element 400 is arranged with two pairs of holders 4b (s. Fig. 8c ). The invention can also be used for connection devices 3, although holder 4b for attaching the connection device 3 to a Support rail 25 and / or in a wall section 26b have, but no such support members 400th

In this embodiment of the connecting device 3, the holding elements 400 each have a receptacle 3021 for a displacement means 304. Here, the receptacle 3021 is therefore not only used for attaching the connecting device 3 to the support rail 25 and / or the wall cutout 26 b, but also for attaching the connecting device 3 to the adapter plate. 9

Fig. 9c shows the arrangement of closed wall 900, adapter plate 9 and connecting device 3. The adapter plate 9 is first attached to the closed wall 900. Subsequently, the connecting device 3 is placed on the adapter plate 9 and screwed with this.

It can be seen that the surface contour of the lower side 306 of the connecting device 3 is formed corresponding to a surface contour of the adapter plate 9 on its side 93 facing the connecting device 3. The cutout 90 is completely surrounded by an edge region, which forms the adapter plate 9 here. As a result, in the embodiment shown here, the connection device 3 lies over the entire surface of the adapter plate 9, so that penetration of dust and moisture into the cutout 90 is made more difficult.

But it is also conceivable that the connecting device 3 rests only in line-shaped or punctiform areas (not shown) on the adapter plate 9, or that the adapter plate 9 recesses (not shown), in which the connection device 3 does not rest on her.

The Fig. 10a shows a perspective view of the test apparatus 2. In the first measuring terminals 29 of the measuring terminals 29, 30 of the test apparatus 2 probes 37 are arranged here. The first measuring terminals 29 are arranged at an angle to each other. This allows an unproblematic arranging relatively large probes 37.
