Definitions
- the invention relates to a connection terminal for connecting an electrical conductor to a busbar.
- Terminals are known in a variety of embodiments. Terminals may be formed, for example, for connecting a conductor to a printed circuit board as a so-called print terminal or - as in the present patent application - for connecting an electrical conductor to a busbar.
- shielding terminals have been known for many years, with which the cable shield of a usually multi-core cable can be connected to a busbar.
- Such shield clamps are known from the catalog "Terminal Blocks CLIPLINE 1 2011", pages 546-548 of Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG.
- the known shield clamps have an approximately U-shaped metallic connecting body, wherein in the two legs of the connecting body slots are formed, with which the shield clamp can be plugged onto a collecting rail with a predetermined thickness.
- a knurled screw is provided, via which a large-area, resilient pressure piece is height-adjustable, so that the cable to be connected can be clamped between the pressure piece and the busbar.
- the shield clamp is attached to the busbar at the same time so that the knurled nut must be unscrewed again to release the shield clamp from the busbar.
- these known shield clamps also have the disadvantage that at the same time the cable to be connected must be released from the shield clamp when loosening the connecting body from the busbar.
- connection terminals are also exclusively suitable for connecting the cable shield of a cable to a busbar, which are provided with reference potentials. tial is connected.
- the busbar is connected to the mounting rail via a support rail, on which several terminal blocks are then arranged, to which the individual wires of the multi-core cable are connected.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a terminal for connecting an electrical conductor to a busbar, in which both the attachment of the terminal to a busbar as well as the release of a busbar as simple as possible.
- connection terminal for connecting an electrical conductor to a busbar having the features of patent claim 1.
- the terminal has a housing in which a conductor connection element and a current bar are arranged.
- a conductor insertion opening for insertion of the electrical conductor to be connected and a busbar receptacle for receiving the busbar are formed in the housing.
- a conductor connected by means of the conductor connection element is then electrically conductively connected via the current bar to the busbar arranged in the busbar receiver.
- a spring element is provided for fixing the busbar, wherein the spring element has at least one leg and is arranged in the housing, that the free end of the leg protrudes into the busbar receptacle, if no busbar in the Bus bar receptacle is arranged, while the spring element is deflected against its spring force when a bus bar is arranged in the busbar receptacle.
- the free end of the leg of the spring element then abuts against the busbar at an acute angle .alpha.
- leg of the spring element By an appropriate arrangement of the leg of the spring element can thus be determined ⁇ in a simple manner, whereby a sufficiently large self-locking achieved and thus unwanted removal of the terminal of the busbar opposite to the direction Aufsteck therapies can be reliably prevented.
- the use of a spring element for the fixation of the busbar has the advantage that the spring element on the one hand does not appreciably hinder the insertion of the busbar into the busbar receptacle, on the other hand, the fixation after insertion of the busbar is effective, without it being actuated by the user requirement.
- the spring element is designed as a leg spring having two legs, wherein the second leg, which does not protrude into the busbar receptacle or is not in contact with the busbar is supported as an abutment against an abutment in the housing.
- the holder of the spring element in the housing can be done in a simple manner, wherein the leg spring can be additionally determined by corresponding ribs or retaining domes in the housing in position.
- connection element any known type of connection elements, such as, for example, screw connections or tension springs, can be used as the conductor connection element.
- a U-shaped or V-shaped leg spring is used in the terminal according to the invention as a conductor connecting element, which has a plant leg and a clamping leg, wherein the clamping leg forms together with the current bar a Federkraftklemmstelle for the connected, stripped conductor.
- a leg spring With such a leg spring, a rigid conductor or conductor provided with a wire end sleeve can be inserted directly into the terminal point, ie without the clamping point having to be opened beforehand with a tool.
- the leg spring acts as a compression spring, which presses the conductor to be connected with the clamping leg against the current bar.
- an actuating pushbutton is arranged displaceably in the housing instead of an actuating opening for a tool.
- the actuating lever can be moved from a first position in which the clamping leg of the leg spring is not deflected, in a second position in which the clamping leg is deflected by the tip of the actuating pusher, so that a connected electrical conductor from the nip and so that it can be pulled out of the conductor insertion opening.
- the terminal of the invention despite the fixation of the busbar serving Federelemets lifted from the busbar or the busbar can be pulled out of the busbar receptacle, it is necessary that the leg of the spring element is lifted from the fixed busbar by the leg against the spring force of Spring element is deflected. This can be done with the aid of a suitable tool, for example the tip of a screwdriver, which is inserted into a corresponding opening in the housing and then deflects the leg of the spring element.
- a suitable tool for example the tip of a screwdriver
- the connection terminal has an unlocking element, which is movably arranged on or in the housing, so that it can be moved from a basic position into an unlocking position.
- the leg of the spring element which faces the busbar and fixes the busbar in its position, is deflected by the unlocking element so that the free end of the leg no longer bears against the busbar.
- the terminal can then against the mounting direction of lifted off the busbar or the busbar are pulled against the plug from the busbar receptacle.
- the unlocking is facilitated because the unlocking can be arranged so that it can be easily operated by a fitter.
- no separate tool must be used to unlock the terminal from the busbar.
- the unlocking element - similar to the actuating pusher - be arranged slidably in the housing.
- the unlocking element is designed as a lever which is pivotally mounted on the housing via a hinge, wherein the unlocking element has a gripping surface for actuation with a finger.
- the actuation of the unlocking element by a mechanic is very easy to carry bar by simply pressing a finger on the gripping surface of the lever when lifting the terminal from the busbar, whereby the lever is pivoted, so that the leg of the spring element deflected and thereby the fixation of the terminal on the busbar is released.
- the connection terminal For holding and positioning the busbar in the busbar receptacle, the connection terminal according to the invention preferably has a clamping lever which is rotatably mounted in the housing on the side of the busbar receptacle opposite the current bar.
- the clamping lever has at least one clamping nose projecting into the busbar receptacle, which, in the case of a busbar arranged in the busbar receptacle, bears against the busbar on the side of the busbar facing away from the current bar.
- a arranged in the busbar receiving busbar is pressed by the clamping lever against the current bar and clamped between the current bar and the clamping lug of the clamping lever, so that the busbar is also held in the busbar receptacle.
- the clamping lever preferably also has an actuating projection whose free end has a larger distance from the pivot point of the clamping lever than the clamping nose, so that the actuating projection - not inserted busbar - protrudes further into the busbar receptacle as the clamping lug.
- the current bar is slidably mounted in the housing, and another spring element arranged in the housing such that the spring element acts on the current bar with a force in the direction of the busbar receptacle.
- the further spring element is designed as a substantially U-shaped or V-shaped leg spring having two legs.
- the first leg is supported as a kind of plant leg on an abutment in the housing, while the second leg is in contact with the current bar.
- the contact between the second leg of the leg spring and the current bar can thereby be realized in that the second leg of the leg spring engages with its free end in a corresponding recess in the current bar.
- the second leg is positively connected to the current bar, so that the position of the free end of the second leg does not change to the current bar.
- the second leg of the leg spring is simply at the busbar receiving end facing away from the current bar or the end of the current bar presses directly against the second leg of the leg spring.
- the leg spring is clamped with its two legs between the abutment in the housing and the current bar, wherein the leg spring can be additionally secured by corresponding ribs or retaining domes in the housing in position.
- the current bar is pressed from its basic position somewhat in the direction of the leg spring, whereby the leg spring is compressed against its spring force. From the spring force of the leg spring then results in the force with which the current bar is pressed against the busbar, so that a good electrical contact between the current bar and the busbar is guaranteed.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the terminal without busbar, once in perspective and once in side view
- FIG. 2 the terminal of FIG. 1, mounted on a busbar, with an unlocking element in the basic position, in perspective and in side view, and
- FIG. 3 the terminal of FIG. 2, with unlocking in the unlocked position, again in perspective and in side view.
- FIG. 1 The figures show a preferred embodiment of a connecting terminal 1 according to the invention for connecting a - not shown here - electrical conductor with a busbar 2. While in Fig. 1, the terminal 1 is shown without busbar 2, Figs. 2 and 3, the terminal 1 is still connected to the busbar 2, in contrast to the illustration of FIG. 2, however, the formed between the terminal 1 and the busbar 2 fixation is solved, so that the Terminal 1 can be lifted from the busbar 2 against the mounting direction A.
- the terminal 1 has a housing 3, in which a conductor connection element 4 in the form of a leg spring and an L-shaped current bar 5 are arranged.
- a conductor insertion opening 6 is formed in the housing 3.

- This unlocking position, in which the unlocking element 13 is actuated is shown in Fig. 3, while Figs. 1 and 2 show the unlocking element 13 in the normal position in which it is not actuated.
- connection clamp 1 can be lifted off the busbar 2 simply and without the need for further manipulations or the use of a tool. If the connection terminal 1 is not to be lifted off a fixed busbar 2 but the busbar 2 is pulled out of the busbar receptacle 7 of the connection terminal 1, this is likewise easily possible by actuating the unlocking element 13.
- the conductor connection element 4 is designed as a leg spring, which has a contact leg 17 and a clamping leg 18. has.
- a stripped electrical conductor introduced into the housing 3 through the conductor insertion opening 6 is pressed by the clamping leg 18 against the leg 19 of the current bar 5, which with its opposite side rests against the busbar 2 arranged in the busbar receptacle 7.
- the clamping leg 18 thus forms together with the legs 19 of the current bar 5 a spring force clamping point for the conductor to be connected.
- the clamping point In order to be able to pull a connected conductor out of the connection terminal 1 again, the clamping point must be opened, for which purpose the clamping leg 18 must be deflected in the direction of the support leg 17 and thus lifted off the connected and clamped conductor.
- the terminal 1 on a displaceably arranged in the housing 3 actuating lever 20, which can be moved from a first position shown in the figures, in a second position within the housing 3.
- the clamping leg 18 In the first position of the actuating pushbutton 20, the clamping leg 18 is not deflected while the clamping leg 18 in the second position of the actuating pushbutton 20 is deflected so far that a connected conductor is no longer in the clamping position between the clamping leg 18 and the leg 19 of FIG Current bar 5 is clamped. The conductor can then be easily pulled out of the housing 3 of the terminal 1 through the conductor insertion opening 6.
- a clamping lever 21 is rotatably mounted in the housing 3 on the side of the busbar receiving means 7 opposite the current bar 5.
- the clamping lever 21 has two clamping lugs 22, 23, with which busbars 2 can be held with different thickness in the busbar receiving 7 and pressed against the current bar 5.
- the clamping lever 21 also has an actuating projection 24, the free end of which has a greater distance from the pivot point of the clamping lever 21 than the first clamping nose 22, which in turn is a greater distance from the pivot point as the second clamping nose 23.
- the actuating projection 24 thus protrudes at free busbar receiving 7 furthest in the collection Rail mount 7 inside.
- the spring element 25 is located on the side facing away from the busbar receptacle 7 of the current bar 5, wherein the first leg 26 of the spring element is supported on an abutment 27 in the housing 3 and the second leg 28 is in contact with the current bar 5.
- the leg 28 rests directly against the end of the current bar 5 facing away from the busbar receptacle 7, so that the spring element 25 acts on the current bar 5 with a force in the direction of the busbar receptacle 7 or presses against an inserted busbar 2 with a force.
- the current bar 5 - mounted perpendicular to Aufsteckides A - slidably in the housing 3.
- the L-shaped current bar 5 is formed by the force of the spring element 25 up to the formed in the housing 3 stop 30 in the direction of the busbar receptacle 7 - in the Presentation to the left - shifted.
