Description

Steckdoseneinsatz  socket insert
Beschreibung description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steckdoseneinsatz für eine elektrische Steckdose. The invention relates to a socket insert for an electrical socket.
Gebäudewände sind mit Steckdosen versehen, die zur Aufnahme eines elektrischen Verbindungssteckers eines elektrischen Geräts dienen, um das elektrische Gerät mit elektrischen Leitern zu verbinden, die in der Gebäudewand untergebracht sind. Meist werden derartige Steckdosen als Unterputzsteckdosen ausgebildet, bei denen der überwiegende Teil in einer Vertiefung der Wand untergebracht ist und lediglich eine Abdeckung von der Wandoberfläche hervorsteht. Dabei wird ein Steckdoseneinsatz in die Wandöffnung oder in eine in die Wand eingelassene Dose eingeschoben. Bei Aufputzsteckdosen wird die Steckdose nicht in eine Öffnung in der Wand eingelassen, sondern an der Oberfläche der Wand befestigt. Building walls are provided with sockets that serve to receive an electrical connector of an electrical device to connect the electrical device with electrical conductors that are housed in the building wall. Most such outlets are designed as flush-mounted sockets, in which the vast majority is housed in a recess of the wall and only a cover protrudes from the wall surface. In this case, a socket insert is inserted into the wall opening or in a recessed into the wall box. For surface-mounted sockets, the socket is not embedded in an opening in the wall, but attached to the surface of the wall.
Steckdosen haben einen Steckdoseneinsatz, mit einem Sockelelement, an dem ein Tragrahmen zum Befestigen des Sockelelements an der Wandoberfläche oder an einer Installationsdose angebracht ist. Das Sockelelement ist mit mindestens einem Paar Steckbuchsen zur Aufnahme der beiden Kontaktstifte eines elektrischen Verbindungssteckers versehen. Jedes Paar Steckbuchsen bildet dabei einen Steckplatz für den Verbindungsstecker. An dem Sockelelement wird eine Abdeckung befestigt, die meist in Form eines Kunststoff-Spritzgussteils eine nach außen hin ästhetische Abdeckung schafft und den Steckdoseneinsatz verdeckt. Es ist bekannt, einem Sockelelement mindestens zwei Steckplätze zuzuordnen, so dass das Sockelelement eines Steckdoseneinsatzes mit mindestens vier Steckbuchsen versehen ist. Das Sockelelement verbindet sämtliche Steckbuchsen mit den in der Wand des Gebäudes geführten elektrischen Leitern. Auf diese Weise können mehrere Steckplätze an nur einem Installationsplatz bereitgestellt werden. Sockets have a socket insert, with a base member to which a support frame for attaching the base member is attached to the wall surface or on an installation box. The base member is provided with at least a pair of sockets for receiving the two contact pins of an electrical connector. Each pair of sockets forms a slot for the connector. On the base element, a cover is attached, which creates an outwardly aesthetic cover usually in the form of a plastic injection-molded part and conceals the socket insert. It is known to associate a socket element at least two slots, so that the base element of a socket insert is provided with at least four sockets. The base element connects all the sockets with the guided in the wall of the building electrical Conductors. In this way, multiple slots can be provided in only one installation space.
Bei derartigen Sockelelementen mit mindestens zwei Steckplätzen ist mindestens einem Steckplatz eine Befestigungseinrichtung zum Befestigen der Abdeckung an dem Sockelelement zugeordnet. Bei den Befestigungseinrichtungen handelt es sich typischerweise um durchgehende Öffnungen in der Abdeckung und um Gewindeaufnahmen in dem Sockelelement, um die Abdeckung an dem Sockelelement festzuschrauben. Die Befestigungseinrichtungen wurden bislang asymmetrisch und exzentrisch an den Steckplätzen angeordnet. Dabei besteht eine Schwierigkeit darin, dass asymmetrische Kräfte auf die Abdeckung wirken und zu einer Beschädigung beim Herstellen der Verbindung oder beim Einstecken eines Verbindungssteckers führen können. In the case of such base elements with at least two slots, at least one slot is assigned a fastening device for fastening the cover to the base element. The fasteners are typically through openings in the cover and around threaded holes in the socket member to secure the cover to the socket member. The fasteners were previously arranged asymmetrically and eccentrically at the slots. One difficulty is that asymmetrical forces can act on the cover and lead to damage when connecting or plugging in a connector.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Steckdoseneinsatz zu schaffen, bei dem das Risiko einer Beschädigung der Abdeckung vermindert ist. The invention has for its object to provide an improved socket insert, in which the risk of damage to the cover is reduced.
Der erfindungsgemäße Steckdoseneinsatz wird definiert durch die Merkmale von Patentanspruch 1 . The socket insert according to the invention is defined by the features of claim 1.
Demnach sind die Befestigungseinrichtungen in Draufsicht auf den Steckplatz zwischen den beiden Steckbuchsen angeordnet. Das bedeutet, dass die Befestigungspunkte zwischen Abdeckung und Sockelelement zwischen den beiden Steckbuchsen zentriert und somit im Mittelpunkt des jeweiligen Steckplatzes angeordnet sind. Dadurch wirken symmetrische Kräfte auf die an dem Sockelelement befestigte Abdeckung. Diese symmetrischen Befestigungskräfte vermindern das Risiko einer Beschädigung der Abdeckung. Bei den Befestigungseinrichtungen kann es sich um unmittelbar zusammmengreifende Elemente handeln, wie beispielsweise eine federnde Rastklinke und ein zugehöriger Rastvorsprung. Alternativ können die Befestigungseinrichtungen als sockelelementseitiges Gewinde und als zugeordnete Öffnung in der Abdeckung ausgebildet sein, um die Abdeckung an dem Sockelelement festzuschrauben. Entscheidend für das Grundprinzip der Erfindung ist, dass der Ort der Befestigung von Abdeckung und Sockelelement zentriert im Bereich des Steckplatzes und mittig zwischen den beiden Steckbuchsen angeordnet ist, um asymmetrische Befestigungskräfte zu vermeiden. Accordingly, the fasteners are arranged in plan view of the slot between the two sockets. This means that the attachment points between the cover and the base element are centered between the two sockets and thus arranged in the center of the respective slot. As a result, symmetrical forces act on the cover attached to the base element. These symmetrical attachment forces reduce the risk of damaging the cover. The fastening devices may be directly related elements, such as a resilient latch and an associated latching projection. Alternatively, the fasteners may be formed as a socket-element-side thread and as an associated opening in the cover to screw the cover to the socket member. Crucial to the basic principle of the invention is that the location of the attachment of the cover and base element centered in the region of the slot and is arranged centrally between the two sockets to avoid asymmetrical attachment forces.
Das Sockelelement weist vorteilhafterweise für jeden Steckplatz mindestens eine Erdungsklemme zum Anschluss eines Erdungsleiters auf, wobei zwischen benachbarten Steckplätzen genau ein Betätigungselement zum Lösen der Erdungsklemmen vorgesehen ist. Das heißt mit anderen Worten, dass nur ein Betätigungselement mindestens die Erdungsklemmen zweier benachbarter Steckplätze löst. Dabei kann das Betätigungselement als Druckknopf oder Hebel ausgebildet sein, der über zwei Zapfen auf Federelemente wirkt, mit denen die Erdungsleiter festgeklemmt werden. Während die Erdungsklemmen eingerückt vom Rand des Sockelelements auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten angeordnet sind, erfolgt deren Betätigung senkrecht von oben im Bereich der Mitte des Sockelelements. Bei den bekannten Steckdoseneinsätzen war hingegen jeder Erdungsklemme genau ein Betätigungshebel zugeordnet, der neben der betreffenden Erdungsklemme am seitlichen Rand des Sockelelements vorgesehen war. Der Platz, der bei den bekannten Steckdosen für die Erdungsklemmen und deren Betätigungselemente benutzt wurde, kann bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Sockeleinsatz als Installationsraum für den Erdungsleiter verwendet werden. Das Verbinden der Erdungsleiter mit den Erdungsklemmen ist dadurch vereinfacht. The base element advantageously has at least one earthing terminal for each slot for connecting a grounding conductor, wherein exactly one actuating element for releasing the grounding terminals is provided between adjacent slots. In other words, only one actuator releases at least the ground terminals of two adjacent slots. In this case, the actuating element may be formed as a push button or lever, which acts via two pins on spring elements with which the grounding conductors are clamped. While the ground terminals are arranged on the opposite sides of the edge of the base element, their actuation is carried out vertically from above in the region of the center of the base element. In the known socket inserts, however, each ground terminal was assigned exactly one operating lever, which was provided in addition to the relevant ground terminal on the side edge of the base element. The space that has been used in the known sockets for the ground terminals and their actuators can be used in the socket insert according to the invention as an installation space for the grounding conductor. Connecting the grounding conductors to the grounding terminals is thereby simplified.
Das Sockelelement weist vorzugsweise mindestens vier Aufnahmen für einen Tragrahmen auf, mit dem das Sockelelement an einem Untergrund befestigbar ist. Jeweils zwei der Aufnahmen sind dabei auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Sockelelements angeordnet. Insbesondere ermöglicht es das mittig angeordnete Betätigungselement für die Erdungsklemmen sowie die dadurch ermöglichte Einrückung der Erdungsklemmen, am Rand des Sockelelements Aufnahmen für den Tragrahmen vorzusehen. Dieser Bereich war herkömmlicherweise für die Erdungsklemmen und deren Betätigungshebel vorgesehen. The base element preferably has at least four receptacles for a support frame, with which the base element on a substrate is fastened. In each case two of the receptacles are arranged on opposite sides of the base element. In particular, the center-mounted actuating element for the earthing terminals and the thereby enabled engagement of the earthing terminals make it possible to provide receptacles for the supporting frame at the edge of the base element. This area was conventionally intended for the earthing terminals and their operating levers.
Von den mindestens vier Aufnahmen für den Tragrahmen können zwei einander gegenüberliegende Aufnahmen mit den Befestigungseinrichtungen des Sockelelements zusammengreifen und elektrisch leitend mit diesen verbunden sein. Beispielsweise können die Aufnahmen an dem Sockelelement für die Abdeckung als metallische Schraubgewinde ausgebildet sein, wobei der Tragrahmen typischerweise aus Metall elektrisch leitend gefertigt wird. Beim Verbinden des Tragrahmens mit den Aufnahmen wird eine elektrisch leitende Verbindung zwischen dem Tragrahmen und den Schraubgewinden hergestellt. Dies ist für die Erdung des Steckdoseneinsatzes von Vorteil. Eine besonders gute Erdung ist gegeben, wenn die Erdungsklemmen zusätzlich elektrisch leitend mit den Schraubgewinden, d.h. den Befestigungseinrichtungen des Sockelelements für die Abdeckung verbunden sind. Die Erdungsklemmen für die Erdungsleiter sind dann nämlich mit dem Tragrahmen und mit dem Untergrund, an dem der Tragrahmen befestigt ist, verbunden. Of the at least four receptacles for the support frame, two opposing receptacles can engage with the attachment means of the base member and be electrically connected thereto. For example, the receptacles may be formed on the base element for the cover as a metallic screw thread, wherein the support frame is typically made of metal electrically conductive. When connecting the support frame with the receptacles, an electrically conductive connection between the support frame and the screw threads is made. This is for the grounding of the socket insert advantage. A particularly good grounding is provided if the ground terminals additionally electrically conductive with the screw threads, i. the fastening means of the base member for the cover are connected. Namely, the earthing terminals for the earthing conductors are connected to the supporting frame and to the ground to which the supporting frame is attached.
Von den mindestens vier Aufnahmen für den Tragrahmen können zwei einander gegenüberliegende Aufnahmen jeweils doppelt ausgebildet sein, so dass insgesamt mindestens sechs Aufnahmen für den Tragrahmen vorgesehen sind. Bei den herkömmlichen Steckdoseneinsätzen mit Betätigungshebeln nahe den Erdungsklemmen war es nicht möglich, Aufnahmen für den Tragrahmen doppelt auszubilden, um die Verbindung zwischen Tragrahmen und Sockelelement zu stabilisieren. Vorzugsweise sind die doppelt ausgebildeten Aufnahmen für den Tragrahmen als Einschübe am Rand des Sockelelements ausgebildet, in die entsprechende Klemmnasen des Tragrahmens eingeschoben werden. In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung sind die Klemmnasen thermisch mit den Anschlussklemmen verbunden, um dort entstehende Wärme ableiten zu können. Auf zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Sockelelements kann also der Tragrahmen jeweils mit zwei Klemmnasen an dem Sockelelement befestigt werden, während an den beiden anderen Seiten der Tragrahmen mit dem Sockelelement verschraubt wird, wobei die Ver- schraubung als Erdung genutzt werden kann. Of the at least four receptacles for the support frame, two opposing receptacles can each be formed twice, so that a total of at least six receptacles are provided for the support frame. In the conventional socket inserts with operating levers near the ground terminals, it was not possible to double-form receptacles for the support frame to stabilize the connection between the support frame and the base element. Preferably, the double-shaped receptacles for the support frame are designed as inserts at the edge of the base element, are inserted into the corresponding clamping lugs of the support frame. In an advantageous embodiment, the clamping lugs are thermally connected to the terminals in order to be able to dissipate heat arising there. On two opposite sides of the base element so the support frame can be fixed in each case with two clamping lugs on the base element, while at the other two sides of the support frame is screwed to the base element, wherein the screw can be used as grounding.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen das erfindungsgemäße Sockelelement 12 mit entfernter Abdeckung 14. Das Sockelelement 12 ist mit vier Steckbuchsen 16 zur Aufnahme der Kontaktstifte eines elektrischen Verbindungssteckers versehen. Dabei bilden jeweils zwei benachbarte Steckbuchsen 16 einen Steckplatz 18 für den betreffenden Verbindungsstecker. Figur 4 zeigt die Abdeckung 14 in verschraubtem Zustand an dem Sockelelement 12. Das Sockelelement 12 ist vollständig von der Abdeckung 14 verdeckt. Figur 4 zeigt weiter, dass die an dem Sockelelement 12 montierte Abdeckung 14 für jeden Steckplatz 18 eine Vertiefung 20 aufweist, die zur Aufnahme und Führung des Verbindungssteckers beim Einschieben der Kontaktstifte in die Steckbuchsen 16 dient. Figures 1 and 2 show the socket element 12 according to the invention with the cover 14 removed. The base element 12 is provided with four sockets 16 for receiving the contact pins of an electrical connector. In each case, two adjacent sockets 16 form a slot 18 for the relevant connector. FIG. 4 shows the cover 14 in the screwed state on the base element 12. The base element 12 is completely covered by the cover 14. FIG. 4 further shows that the cover 14 mounted on the base element 12 has, for each slot 18, a recess 20 which serves to receive and guide the connector when inserting the contact pins into the sockets 16.
Genau mittig zwischen den beiden Steckbuchsen 16 eines Steckplatzes 18 weisen das Sockelelement 12 und die Abdeckung 14 Befestigungseinrichtungen 22, 24 zum Befestigen der Abdeckung 14 an dem Sockelelement 12 auf. Bei den Befestigungseinrichtungen 22 des Sockelelements 12 handelt es sich um Gewindenieten aus Kupfer. Bei den Befestigungseinrichtungen 24 der Abdeckung 14 handelt es sich um kreisrunde Öffnungen 24 für jeweils eine Schraube, die in die Gewindeniete der betreffenden Befestigungseinrichtung 22 des Sockels 12 eingeschraubt wird. Exactly centered between the two sockets 16 of a slot 18, the base member 12 and the cover 14 fastening means 22, 24 for attaching the cover 14 to the base member 12. The fastening devices 22 of the base element 12 are threaded rivets made of copper. The fastening means 24 of the cover 14 are circular openings 24 for one screw, which is screwed into the threaded rivet of the respective fastening device 22 of the base 12.
Genau mittig zwischen benachbarten Steckplätzen 18 ist das Sockelelement 12 mit einem Betätigungselement 26 zum Lösen von Erdungsklemmen 28 versehen. Dabei ist jeweils eine Erdungsklemme 28 in Draufsicht sockeleinwärts neben der Gewindenut einer Befestigungseinrichtung 22 des Sockelelements 12 seitlich an dem Sockelelement 12 vorgesehen. Der sich durch diese eingerückte Anordnung der Erdungsklemmen 28 ergebende Freiraum erleichtert bei der Installation des Steckdoseneinsatzes den Anschluss der Erdleiter in erheblichem Maße (Figur 3). Die Erdungsklemmen 28 sind mit herkömmlichen Federklemmen versehen, die einen elektrischen Erdungsleiter im eingeschobenen Zustand festklemmen. Diese Klemmverbindung kann durch Eindrücken des Betätigungselements 26 in das Sockelelement 12 gelöst werden. Dabei ist entscheidend, dass durch Betätigen des Betätigungselements 26 sämtliche Erdungsklemmen 28 des Sockelelements 12 gelöst werden. Exactly centered between adjacent slots 18, the base member 12 is provided with an actuator 26 for releasing ground terminals 28. In each case, a grounding terminal 28 is provided in plan view inwardly next to the thread groove of a fastening device 22 of the base element 12 laterally on the base element 12. The resulting by this indented arrangement of the ground terminals 28 free space facilitates the installation of the socket insert the connection of the earth conductor to a considerable extent (Figure 3). The ground terminals 28 are provided with conventional spring terminals which clamp an electrical grounding conductor in the inserted state. This clamping connection can be achieved by pressing the actuating element 26 into the base element 12. It is crucial that all ground terminals 28 of the base member 12 are released by operating the actuator 26.
Der Tragrahmen 30 ist in den Figuren 1 und 2 im mit dem Sockelelement 12 verbundenen Zustand dargestellt. Der Tragrahmen 30 weist auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils zwei Klemmnasen 32 auf, die in zugehörige Aufnahmen 34 am äußeren Rand des Sockelelements 12 eingeschoben sind. Im Bereich der Schraubnieten der Befestigungseinrichtungen 22 und somit auch im Bereich der Erdungsklemmen 28 ist das Sockelelement 12 auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten mit weiteren Aufnahmen 36 für den Tragrahmen 30 versehen. Diese in den Figuren 1 und 2 von dem Tragrahmen 30 verdeckten Aufnahmen 36 sind als seitliche Einschübe ausgebildet, in die Stecknasen 38 des Tragrahmens 30 greifen. Die Einschübe sind dabei so ausgebildet, dass der metallische Tragrahmen 30 die metallischen Gewindenieten der Befestigungseinrichtungen 22 elektrisch leitend kontaktiert. Die metallischen Verbindungsnieten der Befestigungseinrichtungen 22 kontaktieren wiederum die Erdungsklemmen 28 in elektrisch leitender Weise, so dass der Tragrahmen 30 geerdet ist. The support frame 30 is shown in Figures 1 and 2 connected to the base member 12 state. The support frame 30 has on opposite sides in each case two clamping lugs 32, which are inserted into corresponding receptacles 34 on the outer edge of the base element 12. In the area of the threaded rivets of the fastening devices 22 and thus also in the region of the earth terminals 28, the base element 12 is provided on opposite sides with further receptacles 36 for the support frame 30. These concealed in Figures 1 and 2 of the support frame 30 receptacles 36 are formed as lateral slots, engage in the sockets 38 of the support frame 30. The inserts are designed so that the metallic support frame 30, the metallic threaded rivets of the fasteners 22 contacted electrically conductive. The metallic connection rivets of the fasteners 22 in turn contact the ground terminals 28 in an electrically conductive manner so that the support frame 30 is grounded.
Bei dem in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ermöglicht es die mittige Anordnung der Befestigungseinrichtungen 22, 24 zentriert genau zwischen den Steckbuchsen 16 eines Steckplatzes 18, ein zentrales Betätigungselement 26 genau zwischen den beiden Steckplätzen 18 vorzusehen, um sämtliche Erdungsklemmen 28 des Sockelelements 12 zu betätigen. Dadurch steht im Bereich der Erdungsklemmen 28 am äußeren Rand des Sockelelements 12 mehr Platz zur Herstellung der Erdungskontakte zur Verfügung, als dies bei den herkömmlichen Steckdoseneinsätzen der Fall ist. Die vorstehende Beschreibung des Ausführungsbeispieles dient nur zu illustrativen Zwecken und nicht zum Zwecke der Beschränkung der Erfindung. Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind verschiedene Änderungen und Modifikationen möglich, ohne den Umfang der Erfindung sowie ihrer Äquivalente zu verlassen. In the embodiment of the invention shown in the figures, the central arrangement of the fasteners 22, 24 centered exactly between the sockets 16 of a slot 18 to provide a central actuator 26 exactly between the two slots 18 to actuate all ground terminals 28 of the base member 12 , As a result, stands in the region of the ground terminals 28 at the outer edge of the base member 12 more space for the preparation of the grounding contacts available, as is the case with the conventional socket inserts. The foregoing description of the embodiment is for illustrative purposes only and not for the purpose of limiting the invention. Various changes and modifications are possible within the scope of the invention without departing from the scope of the invention and its equivalents.
