Description

Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Reihenklemme, insbesondere Mehrstockklemme, zum Klemmen einer Vielzahl von Rangierleitungen, die zu einzelnen Anschlusseinheiten zu führen sind. Die Mehrstockklemme weist ein Gerüstgehäuse für übereinander und nebeneinander zu montierenden Anschlusseinheiten und eine kammartige Struktur zur Bildung von Führungsschlitzen für die Rangierleitungen auf.The invention relates to a terminal block, in particular multi-level terminal, for clamping a plurality of jumper lines, which are to be led to individual connection units. The multi-level clamp has a scaffold housing for connection units to be mounted one above the other and side by side and a comb-like structure for forming guide slots for the jumper lines.

Hintergrund der ErfindungBackground of the invention

Aus EP 1 976 064 B1 ist eine Mehrstockklemme mit Gerüstgehäuse, mit Anschlusseinheiten und mit einer kammartigen Struktur zur Bildung von Führungsschlitzen für die Rangierleitungen bekannt. Die kammartige Struktur wird durch mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete Rangierverteilklemmen gebildet, die zu einem Klemmenblock zusammengestellt sind. Die Rangierverteilerklemmen weisen ein Isolierstoffgehäuse auf und sind mit Rastfüßen zum Aufrasten auf einer hutförmigen Tragschiene versehen, auf der die Mehrstockklemme sitzt. Das oder die Isolierstoffgehäuse bilden einen Teil sowohl der Rangierverteilklemmen als auch des Gerüstgehäuses der Mehrstockklemme. Somit ist es nicht möglich, einzelne Rangierverteilklemmen von der Mehrstockklemme abzunehmen.Out EP 1 976 064 B1 is known a multi-level clamp with scaffold housing, with connection units and with a comb-like structure for the formation of guide slots for the jumper cables. The comb-like structure is formed by a plurality of juxtaposed Rangierverteilklemmen, which are assembled into a terminal block. The jumper terminal blocks have an insulating housing and are provided with locking feet for latching on a hat-shaped mounting rail on which the multi-level terminal sits. The one or more Isolierstoffgehäuse form part of both the Rangierverteilklemmen and the scaffold housing of the multi-level terminal. Thus, it is not possible to remove individual Rangierverteilklemmen of the multi-level terminal.

Die kammartige Struktur bei der Mehrstockklemme ermöglicht eine übersichtliche Zuführung der Leiter zu den einzelnen Anschlusseinheiten, welche einzelne Rangierleitungen klemmen. Es kann aber vorkommen, dass die kammartige Struktur unerwünscht ist und deshalb etwa durch Abbrechen entfernt werden muss.The comb-like structure in the multi-level terminal allows a clear supply of the conductors to the individual connection units, which clamp individual jumper cables. But it can happen that the comb-like Structure is undesirable and therefore must be removed, for example by canceling.

Allgemeine Beschreibung der ErfindungGeneral description of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Reihenklemme, insbesondere Mehrstockklemme, zu schaffen, die mit und ohne kammartige Struktur aufbaubar ist.The invention is based on the object to provide a terminal block, in particular multi-level terminal, which can be built up with and without comb-like structure.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch den Gegenstand der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen definiert.The object of the invention is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims. Advantageous developments of the invention are defined in the subclaims.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird die kammartige Struktur aus separaten Stegen aufgebaut, die mit Rastausbildungen versehen sind, um mit Gegenrastausbildungen an dem Gerüstgehäuse der Reihenklemme zusammen zu arbeiten, so dass bei Nichtbedarf einer kammartigen Struktur an der Reihenklemme oder Mehrstockklemme, oder an gewünschten Stellen der Reihenklemme oder Mehrstockklemme, diese Stege weggelassen werden können. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, Reihenklemmen oder Mehrstockklemmen je nach Wunsch des Benutzers entweder mit oder ohne die kammartige Struktur zeitsparend aufzubauen.To solve this problem, the comb-like structure is constructed of separate webs, which are provided with locking formations to work with counter-detent formations on the frame housing of the terminal together, so that when no need for a comb-like structure on the terminal or multi-level terminal, or at desired locations of the terminal or multi-level terminal, these bars can be omitted. In this way, it is possible to build terminal blocks or multi-level terminals as required by the user either with or without the comb-like structure to save time.

Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung werden mehrere separate Stege zu einer Stegbaugruppe zusammengefasst und diese Stegbaugruppe als solche ist an das Gerüstgehäuse der Reihenklemme anrastbar. Wenn die Reihenklemme eine bestimmte Anzahl von Anschlusseinheiten nebeneinander und übereinander aufweist, kann eine Stegbaugruppe mit entsprechender Anzahl von Führungsschlitzen vorgesehen sein, so dass die Reihenklemme bequem mit einer passenden kammartigen Struktur versehen werden kann. Mit Steckbaugruppen lassen sich auch Lücken zwischen Reihenklemmen überbrücken, wenn längs von solchen Reihenklemmen ein Kabelkanal gebaut werden soll.According to one embodiment of the invention, a plurality of separate webs are combined to form a web assembly and this web assembly as such is latched to the frame housing of the terminal. If the terminal has a certain number of terminal units side by side and one above the other, a bridge assembly with a corresponding number of guide slots may be provided, so that the terminal easily with a matching comb-like structure can be provided. With plug-in modules, gaps between terminal blocks can also be bridged if a cable duct is to be built along such terminal blocks.

Im Einzelnen kann die Rastausbildung der die kammartigen Struktur bildenden Stege jeweils einen stiftförmigen Vorsprung mit Einführungsschräge und mit Hinterschnitt zur Zusammenarbeit mit einer Rastfeder des Gerüstgehäuses der Reihenklemme sowie einen Eingriffshaken zur Zusammenarbeit mit einer Eingriffsöffnung des Gerüstgehäuses aufweisen. Mit derartigen Rastausbildungen an der kammartigen Struktur und mit Gegenrastausbildungen an dem Gerüstgehäuse der Reihenklemme sind sichere und doch bequem zu bedienende Rastverbindungen möglich.In detail, the latching formation of the webs forming the comb-like structure can each have a pin-shaped projection with an introduction bevel and an undercut for cooperation with a detent spring of the frame housing of the terminal block and an engagement hook for cooperation with an engagement opening of the framework housing. With such locking formations on the comb-like structure and with counter-locking formations on the frame housing of the terminal block safe and convenient to use locking connections are possible.

Die Stege der kammartigen Struktur sind elastisch biegsam und von länglicher fingerartiger Gestalt und weisen jeweils ein oberes freies Ende sowie ein unteres Ende auf, wobei am unteren Ende, oder in dessen Nähe, die Rastausbildungen angebracht sind. Somit lassen sich die Stege voneinander weg biegen, um die Führungsschlitze für die Rangierleitungen bei deren Rangieren weiter zu öffnen. Dies ist vor allem dann vorteilhaft, wenn am oberen Ende der jeweiligen Stege, oder in dessen Nähe, Vorsprünge als Querriegel ausgebildet sind, um die zwischen den Stegen gebildeten Führungsschlitze zu verengen und in den Führungsschlitzen eingelegte Rangierleitungen am Austreten zu hindern.The webs of the comb-like structure are elastically flexible and of elongated finger-like shape and each have an upper free end and a lower end, wherein at the lower end, or in the vicinity, the locking formations are mounted. Thus, the webs can bend away from each other to further open the guide slots for the jumper cables when maneuvering. This is particularly advantageous if at the upper end of the respective webs, or in the vicinity, projections are formed as a cross bar to narrow the guide slots formed between the webs and to prevent in the guide slots inserted jumper lines to escape.

Am oberen Ende der jeweiligen Stege, oder in dessen Nähe, kann ein Vorsprung angebracht sein, der sich aus der Ebene von nebeneinander angeordneten Stegen heraus erstreckt und als Gegenlager einer Kappe oder Abdeckung dienlich ist. Damit können Kabelkanäle aus nebeneinander gereihten Stegen abgedeckt werden.At the upper end of the respective webs, or in the vicinity thereof, a projection may be attached, which extends from the plane extends from juxtaposed webs out and serves as an abutment of a cap or cover. This cable ducts can be covered from juxtaposed ridges.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen und unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren näher erläutert, wobei gleiche und ähnliche Elemente teilweise mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen sind und die Merkmale der verschiedenen Ausführungsbeispiele miteinander kombiniert werden können.In the following the invention will be explained in more detail by means of embodiments and with reference to the figures, wherein the same and similar elements are partially provided with the same reference numerals and the features of the various embodiments can be combined.

Detaillierte Beschreibung der ErfindungDetailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Mehrstockklemme 1 in Verbindung mit einer kammartigen Struktur 2. Die Mehrstockklemme 1 weist ein mehrstöckiges Gerüstgehäuse 10 sowie mehrere Reihen von Klemmen auf, die Anschlusseinheiten 11 für nicht dargestellte Rangierleitungen bilden. Die Reihen der Anschlusseinheiten 11 sind in Stockwerken des Gerüstgehäuses 10 aus isolierendem Kunststoff angeordnet und mit weiteren Anschlusseinheiten 12 über Verbindungsleitungen 13 verbunden, wie es bekannt ist. Das Gerüstgehäuse 10 sitzt auf einer hutförmigen Tragschiene 15 und ist mit dieser unmittelbar verrastet. Fig. 1 shows a multi-level terminal 1 in conjunction with a comb-like structure 2. The multi-level terminal 1 has a multi-storey frame housing 10 and a plurality of rows of terminals forming terminal units 11 for jumper lines, not shown. The rows of terminal units 11 are arranged in floors of the framework housing 10 made of insulating plastic and connected to other terminal units 12 via connecting lines 13, as is known. The scaffold housing 10 is seated on a hat-shaped mounting rail 15 and is locked directly with this.

Die kammartige Struktur 2 (Fig. 2, 3) dient zur Bildung von Führungsschlitzen 20 für die nicht dargestellten Rangierleitungen, damit diese in übersichtlicher Weise zu den einzelnen Anschlusseinheiten 11 übereinander und nebeneinander geführt werden können. Aufgebaut ist die kammartige Struktur aus einzelnen separaten Stegen 21, zwischen denen sich die Führungsschlitze 20 erstrecken. Die Stege 21 sind am Gerüstgehäuse 10 aufgerastet und können leicht montiert und demontiert werden.The comb-like structure 2 ( Fig. 2 . 3 ) serves to form guide slots 20 for the jumper lines, not shown, so that they can be performed in a clear manner to the individual terminal units 11 above the other and side by side. Built the comb-like structure of individual separate webs 21, between which the guide slots 20 extend. The webs 21 are snapped onto the frame housing 10 and can be easily assembled and disassembled.

Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen fünf Stege 21, die aufgrund einer Verbindungsplatte 23 zu einer Stegbaugruppe 22 zusammengefasst sind. Die Stegbaugruppe kann noch eine plattenartige Fortsetzung 24 aufweisen, die bei der Bildung eines Kabelkanals 5 (Fig. 5) nützlich sind. Die oberen freien Enden der Stege 21 weisen Vorsprünge 25 auf, zwischen denen die Einführungsschlitze für Rangierleitungen gebildet sind. Um die Einführungsschlitze leicht öffnen zu können, sind die Stege 21 fingerartig und elastisch biegsam ausgebildet. Als Material der Stege kommt entsprechend elastisch biegsamer Kunststoff in Betracht. Fig. 2 and 3 show five webs 21, which are summarized due to a connecting plate 23 to a web assembly 22. The web assembly may still have a plate-like continuation 24, which in the formation of a cable channel 5 (FIG. Fig. 5 ) are useful. The upper free ends of the webs 21 have projections 25, between which the insertion slots for jumper cables are formed. In order to easily open the insertion slots, the webs 21 are finger-like and elastically flexible. As a material of the webs is correspondingly elastic flexible plastic into consideration.

Den Stegen 21 sind Rastausbildungen 3 zugeordnet, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an der Verbindungsplatte 23 angebracht sind. Wie am besten aus Fig. 3 und 4 ersichtlich, weist jede Rastausbildung 3 einen stiftförmigen Vorsprung 31 mit Einführungsschrägen 311 und mit Hinterschnitt 312 sowie einen Eingriffshaken 32 auf. Diese Teile sind zur Zusammenarbeit mit Gegenrastausbildungen 4 am Gerüstgehäuse ausgebildet. An jedem Steg 21, beziehungsweise an der Verbindungsplatte 23, kann noch ein Anschlagsvorsprung 33 vorgesehen sein, der gegen eine Wandung des Gerüstgehäuses in Anlage kommt, wenn der Steg, beziehungsweise die Stegbaugruppe, die Rastverbindung mit dem Gerüstgehäuse eingeht.The webs 21 are associated with locking formations 3, which are mounted on the connecting plate 23 in the illustrated embodiment. How best Fig. 3 and 4 it can be seen, each locking formation 3 has a pin-shaped projection 31 with insertion bevels 311 and with undercut 312 and an engagement hook 32 on. These parts are designed to work with counter-detent formations 4 on the framework housing. At each web 21, or on the connecting plate 23, a stop projection 33 may still be provided, which comes against a wall of the scaffold housing in abutment when the web, or the web assembly, enters the latching connection with the scaffold housing.

Bei der in Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellten Stegbaugruppe gibt es fünf stiftförmige Vorsprünge 31 und vier Eingriffshaken 32. Es versteht sich aber, dass im Falle von einzelnen separaten Stegen 21 ohne Verbindung zu benachbarten Stegen jeder Steg 21 an seinem unteren Ende, oder nahe des unteren Endes, jeweils einen stiftförmigen Vorsprung 31 und einen Eingriffshaken 32 aufweist.At the in Fig. 2 and 3 However, it is understood that in the case of individual separate webs 21 without connection to adjacent webs, each web 21 at its lower end, or near the lower end, each having a pin-shaped projection 31 and an engagement hook 32.

Die Gegenrastausbildungen 4 umfassen eine Rastfeder 41 zur Zusammenarbeit mit dem stiftförmigen Vorsprung 31 sowie eine Eingriffsöffnung 42 zur Zusammenarbeit mit dem Eingriffshaken 32. Zwischen dem Ende der Rastfeder 41 und einem Widerlager 44 gibt es eine Spaltöffnung 45, durch die der stiftförmige Vorsprung 31 mit seinen Einführungsschrägen 311 hindurchgeschoben werden kann. Zur Montage der Stege 21 werden diese einzeln oder als Stegbaugruppe 22 mit ihren Eingriffshaken 32 in die jeweilige Eingriffsöffnung 42 eingehakt und dann wird der jeweilige Steg 21 oder die Stegbaugruppe 22 so geschwenkt, dass der stiftförmige Vorsprung 31 in die Spaltöffnung 45 eindringt, wobei die Rastfeder 41 nach rückwärts ausweicht und dann in der Hinterschnitt 312 einfällt, wie in Fig. 4 dargestellt.The Gegenrastausbildungen 4 include a detent spring 41 for cooperation with the pin-shaped projection 31 and an engagement opening 42 for cooperation with the engagement hook 32. Between the end of the detent spring 41 and an abutment 44, there is a gap opening 45 through which the pin-shaped projection 31 with its introduction bevels 311 can be pushed through. For mounting the webs 21, these are hooked individually or as a web assembly 22 with their engagement hooks 32 in the respective engagement opening 42 and then the respective web 21 or the web assembly 22 is pivoted so that the pin-shaped projection 31 penetrates into the gap opening 45, wherein the detent spring 41 dodges backwards and then invades the undercut 312, as in Fig. 4 shown.

Zur Demontage der Stege 21 kann man die Rastfedern 41 zur Seite biegen, wodurch sie von dem Hinterschnitt 312 freikommen, und den Eingriffshaken 32 aus der Öffnung 42 nach oben herausheben, indem der betreffende Steg 21 angehoben wird.To disassemble the webs 21, it is possible to bend the detent springs 41 to the side, freeing them from the undercut 312 and lifting the engagement hooks 32 upwards out of the opening 42, by raising the respective web 21.

Fig. 5 zeigt einen Kabelkanal 5, aufgebaut aus Stegen 21, beziehungsweise Stegbaugruppen 22, die in parallelen Reihen längs zweier Mehrstockklemmen 1 angeordnet sind. Der Kabelkanal 5 und eine aufrastbare Abdeckung 6 erstrecken sich in die Zeichenebene hinein. Die Abdeckung 6 wird in Fig. 6 mit zwei Ausführungsformen vorgestellt, es gibt aber je nach Hersteller noch weitere Ausführungen der Abdeckung 6. Die Abdeckung 6 weist einen Rastrand 61 oder 62 auf, dessen unteres Ende als Widerlager 63, beziehungsweise 64, nach einwärts gebogen ist. Das obere Ende jedes Steges 21 besitzt einen Vorsprung 25, hinter den sich das Gegenlager 63 im Falle der Ausbildung der Abdeckung 6 mit Rastrand 61 legt. In der Nähe des oberen Endes des Steges 21 befindet sich ein weiterer Vorsprung 26, hinter den sich das Gegenlager 64 im Falle der Ausbildung der Abdeckung 6 mit Rastrand 62 legt. Da das Material der fingerartigen Stege 21 biegsamer Kunststoff ist, lassen sich die Reihen der Stege 21 leicht gegeneinander biegen und die Abdeckung 6 auf die Vorsprünge 25 oder 26 an den freien Enden der Stege 21 aufsetzen. Diese Vorsprünge 25 oder 26 hintergreifen den Rastrand 63 oder 64 nach Entspannung der Stege 21. Fig. 5 shows a cable channel 5, constructed of webs 21, and web assemblies 22 which are arranged in parallel rows along two multi-level terminals 1. The cable channel 5 and a snap-on cover 6 extend into the plane of the drawing. The cover 6 is in Fig. 6 However, depending on the manufacturer, there are other embodiments of the cover 6. The cover 6 has a latching rim 61 or 62, the lower end of which as an abutment 63, or 64, is bent inwards. The upper end of each web 21 has a projection 25, behind which the abutment 63 lays in the case of the formation of the cover 6 with latching rim 61. In the vicinity of the upper end of the web 21, there is a further projection 26, behind which the abutment 64 lays in the case of the formation of the cover 6 with latching edge 62. Since the material of the finger-like webs 21 is flexible plastic, the rows of webs 21 can be easily bent against each other and the cover 6 on the projections 25 or 26 at the free ends of the webs 21 put on. These projections 25 or 26 engage behind the latching edge 63 or 64 after relaxation of the webs 21st

Der Vorsprung 25 des Steges 21 erstreckt sich auch in der Ebene von nebeneinander angeordneten Stegen 21, wie am besten aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich. Damit bilden die Vorsprünge 25 auch einen Querriegel, der die Führungsschlitze 20 an deren oberem Ende verengt. Auf diese Weise können die durch den Führungsschlitz 20 geführten Rangierleitungen nicht ungewollt nach oben austreten.The projection 25 of the web 21 also extends in the plane of adjacent webs 21, as best of Fig. 3 seen. Thus, the projections form 25 also includes a cross bar that narrows the guide slots 20 at its upper end. In this way, the guided through the guide slot 20 jumper lines can not escape unintentionally upwards.

Wie aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich ist, bilden die plattenartigen Fortsetzungen 24 den unteren Teil des Kabelkanals 5. Je nachdem von welcher Seite die Leiterführung an der Mehrstockklemme 1 angebracht ist, rechts oder links (rechts in Fig. 1), kann die plattenartige Fortsetzung 24 auch an Sollbruchstellen 241 abgebrochen und entfernt werden. Wenn der Fuß der Mehrstockklemme selbst eine natürliche Seitenwand für den Kabelkanal 5 bildet, wird die plattenartige Fortsetzung 24 nicht benötigt und kann allenfalls stören. Bei den dargestellten Mehrstockklemmen 1 gibt es untere schräge Seitenwände 14, die durch die plattenartigen Fortsätze 24 abgedeckt werden, so dass die Kabel nicht ungewollt unter die Seitenwände 14 geraten.How out Fig. 5 can be seen, the plate-like continuations 24 form the lower part of the cable channel 5. Depending on which side of the conductor guide is attached to the multi-level terminal 1, right or left (right in Fig. 1 ), the plate-like continuation 24 can also be broken off at predetermined breaking points 241 and removed. If the foot of the multi-level terminal itself forms a natural side wall for the cable channel 5, the plate-like continuation 24 is not needed and may interfere at most. In the multi-level terminals 1 shown, there are lower sloping side walls 14, which are covered by the plate-like extensions 24, so that the cables do not fall under the side walls 14 unintentionally.

Es ist dem Fachmann ersichtlich, dass die vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen beispielhaft zu verstehen sind und die Erfindung nicht auf diese beschränkt ist, sondern in vielfältiger Weise variiert werden kann, ohne den Schutzbereich der Ansprüche zu verlassen. Ferner ist ersichtlich, dass die Merkmale unabhängig davon, ob sie in der Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen, den Figuren oder anderweitig offenbart sind, auch einzeln wesentliche Bestandteile der Erfindung definieren, selbst wenn sie zusammen mit anderen Merkmalen gemeinsam beschrieben sind.It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the above-described embodiments are to be read by way of example, and that the invention is not limited to them, but that they can be varied in many ways without departing from the scope of the claims. It is also to be understood that the features, independently as they are disclosed in the specification, claims, figures, or otherwise, also individually define essential components of the invention, even if described together with other features.

Claims (8)

  1. A terminal block, in particular a multi-level terminal block, for clamping a plurality of jumper wires that are to be routed to individual connection units, comprising:
    a frame housing (10) for connection units (11) to be mounted on top of each other and side by side; and
    a comb-type structure (2) for defining guiding slots (20) for the jumper wires;
    characterised in that
    the comb-type structure (2) can be assembled from separate legs (21) that have clip-on portions (3) for cooperating with mating clip-on portions (4) at the frame housing (10), such that, if needed, the comb-type structure (2) can be mounted at desired positions of the terminal block, and if not needed, these legs (21) can be omitted at desired positions of the terminal block.
  2. The terminal block according to claim 1,
    wherein a plurality of legs (21) are combined to form a leg assembly unit (22) which can be dipped onto the frame housing (10) as a unit.
  3. The terminal block according to claim 1 or 2,
    wherein the clip-on portions (3) of the legs (21) have a pencil-shaped protrusion (31) with a lead-in bevel (311) and with an undercut (312) for cooperating with the mating clip-on portions (4) of the frame housing (10) that comprise a detent spring (41) and an engagement opening (42) cooperating with the pencil-shaped protrusion (31) and with the engagement hook (32).
  4. The terminal block according to any one of claims 1 to 3,
    wherein the legs (21) have an elongated finger-like shape and are elastically flexible, each having an upper free end and a lower end, wherein the clip-on portions (3) are provided at said lower end or close to said lower end.
  5. The terminal block according to claim 4,
    wherein protrusions (25) are formed at the upper free end of the respective legs (21) or close to that end, which protrusions are effective as crossbars that constrict the guiding slots (20) defined between the legs (21) in order to prevent jumper wires placed in the guiding slots from coming out.
  6. The terminal block according to any one of claims 1 to 5,
    wherein a cable channel (5) is defined by two comb-type structures (2) extending in parallel to each other and consisting of the legs (21), and by a cover (6).
  7. The terminal block according to claim 6,
    wherein a protrusion (25, 26) is provided at the upper end of the respective legs (21) or close to the upper end, wherein the protrusion extends out of the plane of the legs (21) arranged side by side and cooperates with a mating seat (63,64) formed at the cover (6).
  8. The terminal block according to claim 6 or 7,
    wherein the comb-type structures (2) are formed by leg assembly units (22) according to claim 2, each having a plate-like extension (24) which can be removed due to a predetermined breaking point (241).
