Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindungsanordnung umfassend ein Gehäuse mit einem Verbindungsabschnitt, an dem wenigstens ein Gehäuseanlagekeil mit einer unter einem Keilwinkel zu einer Montagerichtung orientierten Anlagefläche ausgebildet ist, und mit einem an den Verbindungsabschnitt ansetzbaren Verbindungskörper, an dem ein Verbindungsanlagekeil vorgesehen ist, der eine unter dem gleichen Keilwinkel orientierte Anlagefläche aufweist.The invention relates to a connection arrangement comprising a housing having a connecting portion, on which at least one housing contact wedge is formed with a bearing surface oriented at a wedge angle to a mounting direction abutment surface, and with an attachable to the connecting portion connecting body, on which a Verbindungsanlagekeil is provided, the one below the having the same wedge angle oriented contact surface.

Gattungsgemäße Verbindungsanordnungen, mit denen beispielsweise Anschlussklemmen an einer Gerätewand befestigt werden, sind allgemein bekannt und weit verbreitet. Jeweils ist ein Anlagekeil an dem Gehäuse und an dem Verbindungskörper vorgesehen. Die Anlagekeile werden zum Festlegen des Gehäuses und des Verbindungskörpers an der Gerätewand aneinander gelegt und verklemmt. Beispielsweise wird zum Festlegen der Anschlussklemmen die Geometrie des Gehäuses beziehungsweise des Verbindungskörpers auf die Wandstärke des Geräts abgestimmt. Jedes Gehäuse beziehungsweise jeder Verbindungskörper ist dann nur für spezielle Gerätewandstärken geeignet. Beispielsweise kann der Anlagekeil an dem Verbindungskörper vergleichsweise lang ausgebildet sein, um ein hohes Maß an Flexibilität zu erreichen und eine Festlegung bei möglichst unterschiedlichen Gehäusewandstärken zu gewährleisten. Abhängig von den tatsächlichen geometrischen Verhältnissen kann der Verbindungskörper jedoch vergleichsweise weit herausragen. Ebenso ist bekannt, den Gehäuseanlagekeil weit beabstandet zur Gerätewand vorzusehen und abhängig von der jeweiligen Montagesituation Abstandselemente einzulegen, um eine Festlegung der Anlagekeile aneinander zu gewährleisten. Jedoch erhöht sich hierdurch der Montageaufwand. EP 2 648 285 A1 offenbart eine Verbindungsanordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine gattungsgemäße Verbindungsanordnung kompakt zu gestalten und derart weiterzubilden, dass eine einfache Festlegung und Verwendung bei unterschiedlichen Gerätewandstärken möglich wird.Generic connection arrangements, with which, for example, terminals are attached to a device wall, are well known and widely used. In each case, a bearing wedge is provided on the housing and on the connecting body. The investment wedges are placed and clamped for fixing the housing and the connecting body to the device wall. For example, the geometry of the housing or the connecting body is adapted to the wall thickness of the device to set the terminals. Each housing or each connecting body is then only suitable for specific device wall thicknesses. For example, the investment wedge may be formed comparatively long on the connecting body in order to achieve a high degree of flexibility and to ensure a determination with as different housing wall thicknesses. Depending on the actual geometrical conditions, however, the connecting body can protrude comparatively far. It is also known to provide the housing attachment wedge widely spaced from the device wall and insert depending on the respective mounting situation spacers to ensure a determination of the investment wedges together. However, this increases the assembly effort. EP 2 648 285 A1 discloses a connection arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1. The object of the present invention is to make a generic connection assembly compact and further develop such that a simple definition and use at different device wall thicknesses is possible.

Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist die Erfindung in Verbindung mit dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass an dem Verbindungsabschnitt des Gehäuses beabstandet zueinander eine Mehrzahl von Gehäuseanlagekeilen vorgesehen ist und dass zwischen benachbarten Gehäuseanlagekeilen eine Aufnahmenut für den Verbindungsanlagekeil gebildet ist.To achieve the object, the invention in conjunction with the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that at the connecting portion of the housing spaced from one another a plurality of housing system wedges is provided and that between adjacent housing system wedges a receiving groove is formed for the connecting system wedge.

Der besondere Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass abhängig von der Verbindungsgeometrie beziehungsweise der Gerätewandstärke der Verbindungsanlagekeil an einen geeigneten der bereitgestellten Gehäuseanlagekeile angelegt werden kann. Das Vorsehen der Mehrzahl von Gehäuseanlagekeilen ermöglicht insofern eine flexible Verwendung der Verbindungsanordnung für verschiedene Gerätewandstärken. Der Verbindungskörper mit dem Verbindungsanlagekeil kann gleichwohl kompakt gestaltet werden. Da auf zusätzliche Komponenten, beispielsweise Abstandselemente, verzichtet wird, ist überdies die Montage einfach.The particular advantage of the invention is that depending on the connection geometry or the device wall thickness of the connection system wedge can be applied to a suitable of the provided housing system wedges. The provision of the plurality of housing system keys thus allows flexible use of the connector assembly for various device wall thicknesses. The connecting body with the connecting system wedge can nevertheless be made compact. Moreover, since additional components, such as spacer elements, are dispensed with, assembly is easy.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist an dem Verbindungskörper ebenfalls eine Mehrzahl von Verbindungsanlagekeilen vorgesehen. Zwischen benachbarten Verbindungsanlagekeilen ist auch hier eine Aufnahmenut ausgebildet, welche der Aufnahme eines Gehäuseanlagekeils dient. Vorteilhaft kann durch das Vorsehen paralleler Anlagekeile die Stabilität verbessert und eine positionsgenaue Montage erreicht werden. Da eine Mehrzahl von Anlagekeilpaarungen vorgesehen ist, kann jede einzelne Anlagefläche kleiner gestaltet werden und die Verbindungsanordnung eine besonders kompakte Form erhalten.According to a development of the invention, a plurality of connecting system wedges is likewise provided on the connecting body. Between adjacent connection system wedges, a receiving groove is also formed here, which serves to receive a housing installation wedge. Advantageously, the stability can be improved by providing parallel bearing wedges and a positionally accurate mounting can be achieved. Since a plurality of bearing wedge pairings is provided, each individual contact surface can be made smaller and the connection arrangement can be given a particularly compact shape.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist eine Anzahl der Verbindungsanlagekeile an dem Verbindungskörper geringer als eine Anzahl der Gehäuseanlagekeile an dem Verbindungsabschnitt des Gehäuses. Vorteilhaft bietet der Verbindungsabschnitt des Gehäuses die Möglichkeit, den notwendigen geometrischen Ausgleich zu schaffen, um die Verbindungsanordnung an unterschiedliche Gehäusewandstärken anzupassen. Der Verbindungskörper kann besonders kompakt ausgeführt werden. Dabei bleibt die Flexibilität im Hinblick auf die Positionierung des Verbindungskörpers an dem Verbindungsabschnitt erhalten.According to a development of the invention, a number of the connecting system wedges on the connecting body is less than a number of housing system wedges on the connecting section of the housing. Advantageously, the connecting portion of the housing provides the opportunity to provide the necessary geometric compensation to adapt the connection arrangement to different housing wall thicknesses. The connecting body can be made very compact. In this case, the flexibility with regard to the positioning of the connecting body at the connecting portion is maintained.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Gehäuseanlagekeile in die Erstreckungsrichtung des Verbindungsabschnitts regelmäßig beabstandet angeordnet. Ebenso können die Verbindungsanlagekeile regelmäßig angeordnet sein. Die zwischen benachbarten Anlagekeilen gebildeten Aufnahmenuten erstrecken sich bevorzugt in Richtung des Keilwinkels. Eine Breite der Aufnahmenuten beziehungsweise der Anlagekeile ist insbesondere gleich beziehungsweise so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass die Anlagekeile im Wesentlichen passgenau in die Aufnahmenuten eingesetzt werden können. Durch die vorteilhafte Gestaltung des Verbindungsabschnitts beziehungsweise des Verbindungskörpers vereinfacht sich die Montage. Insbesondere ergibt sich durch das Vorsehen der Aufnahmenuten während der Montage eine formschlüssige Führung der zueinander beweglichen Komponenten. Die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindungsanordnung ist insofern intuitiv. Im montierten Zustand verbessert sich die Stabilität.According to a development of the invention, the housing attachment wedges are arranged regularly spaced in the extension direction of the connecting portion. Likewise, the connection system wedges can be arranged regularly. The receiving grooves formed between adjacent bearing wedges preferably extend in the direction of the wedge angle. A width of the receiving grooves or the bearing wedges is particularly equal to each other or coordinated so that the investment wedges can be used substantially accurately fit into the grooves. The advantageous design of the connecting portion or the connecting body simplifies the assembly. In particular, results from the provision of the grooves during assembly a positive guidance of the mutually movable components. The use of the connection arrangement according to the invention is insofar intuitive. When assembled, stability improves.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Verbindungsabschnitt mantelseitig geschlossen ausgebildet. Die Gehäuseanlagekeile sind auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Mantelseitenflächen vorgesehen. Insbesondere kann der Verbindungskörper U-förmig ausgebildet sein, wobei an den freien Schenkeln auf einander zugewandten Innenseiten derselben jeweils mindestens ein Verbindungsanlagekeil vorgesehen ist. Vorteilhaft umfasst der Verbindungskörper den Verbindungsabschnitt mantelseitig. Die Anlagekeile sind einander gegenüberliegend zugeordnet. Es ergibt sich insofern in der Montagestellung eine günstige und gegebenenfalls symmetrische Lastverteilung. Überdies ist ein guter Schutz gewährleistet gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Verkanten der Verbindungskomponenten (Gehäuse und Verbindungskörper) während der Montage.According to a development of the invention, the connecting portion is formed closed shell side. The housing attachment wedges are provided on two opposite lateral side surfaces. In particular, the connecting body may be U-shaped, with at least one connecting system wedge being provided on the free legs on mutually facing inner sides thereof. Advantageously, the connecting body comprises the connecting portion on the shell side. The investment wedges are assigned opposite each other. This results in the mounting position a favorable and possibly symmetrical load distribution. Moreover, good protection is ensured against unintentional tilting of the connection components (housing and connecting body) during assembly.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist zum Festlegen des Verbindungskörpers an dem Verbindungsabschnitt des Gehäuses eine Rastverbindung vorgesehen. Ein Rastelement greift hierzu in eine Rastaufnahme. Beispielsweise ist das Rastelement an dem Verbindungskörper vorgesehen, während die Rastaufnahme als Teil des Verbindungsabschnitts beziehungsweise des Gehäuses realisiert ist. Insbesondere kann das Rastelement an einem freien Schenkel des Verbindungskörpers vorgesehen sein, wobei der freie Schenkel aufgrund seiner langgestreckten Form beziehungsweise seiner individuellen Gestaltung eine inhärente Elastizität aufweist. Eine Kontaktfläche des Rastelements kann profiliert ausgebildet sein. Eine korrespondierende Profilierung findet sich an der Rastaufnahme. Beispielsweise kann die Profilierung an der Kontaktfläche und an der Rastaufnahme regelmäßig ausgebildet sein. Vorteilhaft wird durch das Vorsehen der Rastverbindung in der Montagestellung der Verbindungsanordnung eine verbesserte Sicherung gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen erreicht. Insbesondere durch das Vorsehen einer regelmäßigen Profilierung ergibt sich hierbei eine variable Rastposition. Die Rastposition kann insofern unabhängig von den geometrischen Verhältnissen und insbesondere in Abmessungen der Gehäusewandstärke eingenommen werden. Die Rastverbindung ist insofern genauso variabel ausgebildet wie die Verbindungsanordnung insgesamt.According to a development of the invention, a locking connection is provided for fixing the connecting body to the connecting portion of the housing. A locking element engages this in a locking receptacle. For example, the latching element is provided on the connecting body, while the latching receptacle is realized as part of the connecting section or of the housing. In particular, the locking element may be provided on a free leg of the connecting body, wherein the free leg has an inherent elasticity due to its elongated shape or its individual design. A contact surface of the locking element can be formed profiled. A corresponding profiling can be found on the locking receptacle. For example, the profiling may be formed regularly on the contact surface and on the latching receptacle. Advantageously, an improved protection against unintentional release is achieved by providing the latching connection in the mounting position of the connection arrangement. In particular, by providing a regular profiling this results in a variable locking position. The detent position can be taken regardless of the geometric conditions and in particular dimensions of the housing wall thickness. The locking connection is insofar as variable formed as the connection arrangement as a whole.

Die Figuren 9 und 10 zeigen die Montage der Verbindungsanordnung. In einem ersten Schritt wird der Verbindungskörper 12 auf den Verbindungsabschnitt 2 des Gehäuses 1 aufgesetzt. Das Aufsetzen erfolgt so, dass der Verbindungskörper 12 mit dem zweiten Block 9.4 der Verbindungsanlagekeile 16 zwischen dem ersten Block 9.1 und dem zweiten Block 9.2 der Gehäuseanlagekeile 6 vorgesehen ist. Anschließend wird der Verbindungskörper 12 in die Montagerichtung 22 verschoben. Hierbei greifen die Verbindungsanlagekeile 16 in die Aufnahmenuten 23 ein, welche an dem Verbindungsabschnitt 2 des Gehäuses 1 zwischen den Gehäuseanlagekeilen 6 gebildet sind. In analoger Weise sind die Gehäuseanlagekeile 6 in den Aufnahmenuten 24 geführt, welche zwischen den Verbindungsanlagekeilen 16 gebildet sind. Vorliegend weisen die Gehäuseanlagekeile 6, die Verbindungsanlagekeile 16 und die Aufnahmenuten 23, 24 eine gleiche Breite 27 auf.The FIGS. 9 and 10 show the assembly of the connection arrangement. In a first step, the connecting body 12 is placed on the connecting portion 2 of the housing 1. The placing takes place such that the connecting body 12 is provided with the second block 9.4 of the connecting system wedges 16 between the first block 9.1 and the second block 9.2 of the housing system wedges 6. Subsequently, the connecting body 12 is moved in the mounting direction 22. Here, the connection system keys 16 engage in the receiving grooves 23, which are formed on the connecting portion 2 of the housing 1 between the housing system wedges 6.

Eine nicht dargestellte Gerätewand findet sich zwischen der Anlagefläche 7 des Anlageabschnitts 3 und der Rückseite 20 des Verbindungskörpers 12. Die elastisch ausgebildeten Stege 21 wirken wie Federelemente und sorgen dafür, dass die an den Verbindungsanlagekeilen 16 gebildeten Anlageflächen 17 gegen die Anlagefläche 7 der Gehäuseanlagekeile 6 gedrückt werden. Zur Sicherung gegen ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Verbindungskörpers 12 vom Verbindungsabschnitt 2 des Gehäuses 1 greifen die Rastelemente 11, welche an den freien Schenkeln 14, 15 vorgesehen sind, in die Rastaufnahme 10 ein, welche an den beiden gegenüberliegenden Mantelseitenflächen 4, 5 des Verbindungsabschnitts 2 vorgesehen ist. Infolge der Profilierung der Kontaktfläche 19 und der Rastaufnahme. 10 ergibt sich hier eine formschlüssige Festlegung, wobei infolge der Elastizität der Schenkel 14, 15 die Festlegung des Verbindungskörpers 12 in einfacher Weise während der Montage erfolgt. Zudem kann der Keilwinkel 8 so gewählt sein, dass sich eine Selbsthemmung zwischen den Gehäuseanlagekeilen 6 und den Verbindungsanlagekeilen 16 ausbildet. Insbesondere ist der Keilwinkel 8 kleiner als 20 °. Bevorzugt liegt der Keilwinkel 8 im Bereich von 6° bis 12°.In the assembled state of the connection arrangement according to FIGS. 11 to 15 the connecting body 12 is fixed to the connecting portion 2 of the housing 1. A device wall, not shown, is located between the contact surface 7 of the contact section 3 and the back 20 of the connecting body 12. The elastically formed webs 21 act as spring elements and ensure that the bearing surfaces 17 formed on the connecting system wedges 16 pressed against the contact surface 7 of the housing system wedges 6 become. To secure against unintentional loosening of the connecting body 12 from the connecting portion 2 of the housing 1, the locking elements 11, which are provided on the free legs 14, 15, engage in the locking receptacle 10, which is provided on the two opposite lateral side surfaces 4, 5 of the connecting portion 2 is. Due to the profiling of the contact surface 19 and the locking receptacle. 10 here results in a positive fixing, which is due to the elasticity of the legs 14, 15, the fixing of the connecting body 12 in a simple manner during assembly. In addition, the wedge angle 8 may be selected so that a self-locking between the housing system keys 6 and the connecting system wedges 16 is formed. In particular, the wedge angle 8 is less than 20 °. Preferably, the wedge angle 8 is in the range of 6 ° to 12 °.

Infolge der Neigung der Anlageflächen 7, 17 unter dem Anstellwinkel 28 werden die freien Schenkel 14, 15 des Verbindungskörpers 12 bei der Montage einander angenähert und im montierten Zustand der Verbindungsanordnung gegen den Verbindungsabschnitt 2 des Gehäuses 1 verkeilt, vergleiche Pfeile 29 in Figur 11. Es ergibt sich insofern eine besonders stabile Festlegung an der Gerätewand.Due to the inclination of the contact surfaces 7, 17 at the angle of attack 28, the free legs 14, 15 of the connecting body 12 are approximated during assembly and wedged in the mounted state of the connection assembly against the connecting portion 2 of the housing 1, see arrows 29 in FIG. 11 , This results in a particularly stable determination of the device wall.
