Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conductor connecting terminal with an insulating material housing and at least one spring-loaded terminal connection for making electrical contact with an electrical conductor inserted through a conductor insertion opening of the insulating material housing, the at least one spring-loaded terminal connection having at least one busbar and at least one clamping spring which has at least one clamping leg for clamping the electrical conductor against one Clamping point of the busbar and a contact leg for supporting the clamping spring, the conductor terminal also having at least one pivotally mounted actuating element for opening and closing the spring-loaded terminal connection by acting on an actuating area of the clamping spring, the at least one actuating element along a linear and formed in the insulating material housing / or arcuate guideway for guiding the pivoting movement of the B is guided by the actuating element, an actuating force acting on the actuating element in an actuating direction can be deflected into an actuating direction of the clamping spring that deviates from the actuating direction by at least 150 degrees.
  • a generic conductor terminal is, for example, from the EP 1 670 098 B1 known.
  • wire connection terminals with an actuating element for example in the form of an actuating lever, are also known from the WAGO product range.
  • From the DE 20 2015 103 176 U1 shows a terminal block wiring device.
  • From the DE 10 2013 104 394 A1 shows a conductor terminal.
  • From the DE 20 2004 019 109 U1 shows a connection device for electrical conductors with actuator.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a more universally applicable and at the same time very compact conductor terminal.
  • the direction of action of the clamping spring can differ, for example, in the range from 170 to 190 degrees from the direction of actuation of the actuating element.
  • the conductor terminal according to the invention is thus very universally applicable and can e.g. can be used for terminal blocks, connecting terminals or as a connection terminal of an electrical connector.
  • the at least one actuating element is guided along a linear and / or arcuate guideway formed in the insulating material housing for guiding the pivoting movement of the actuating element.
  • This has the advantage that the actuating element in combination with a linear and / or curved guideway formed in the insulating material housing enables a large number of design options for the conductor connection terminal, such as either lever actuation or pusher actuation, optionally different actuation directions of the actuation element, in particular actuation directions which differ significantly from the direction of insertion of an electrical conductor into the conductor connection terminal, and actuation directions which can be selected independently of the position and configuration of the clamping spring.
  • the direction of action of the actuating force of an actuating tool i.e. the direction of actuation cannot be tracked when the actuating element is pivoted, so that particularly convenient and ergonomic operation is possible even with a tool-actuated design of the conductor connecting terminal.
  • the guideway is formed in the insulating material housing and is therefore separated from the clamping spring with regard to its position and component assignment.
  • the clamping spring does not have to be designed to guide the actuating element, which allows greater degrees of freedom in determining the design of the clamping spring without having to consider the guidance of the actuating element.
  • the guideway can be completely linear or completely arcuate, i.e. arched, be trained.
  • the guideway can also be linear piece by piece and curved piece by piece.
  • the actuating element is guided on the guideway during its pivoting movement and is supported thereon in relation to the actuating force acting on the actuating element and possibly also in relation to a reaction force acting on the actuating element by the clamping spring.
  • the actuating element can have an arc contour corresponding to the arc shape of the guideway, via which the actuating element bears at least in sections on an arcuate region of the guideway.
  • the actuating element can also rest completely on the guideway.
  • the actuating element is supported with respect to the actuating force exclusively on the linear and / or arcuate guideway formed in the insulating material housing. In this way, a favorable guidance and support of the actuating element without applying other elements such.
  • the actuating element is designed to execute a sliding movement with respect to the guideway. This has the advantage that complex types of actuation of the conductor connection terminal can advantageously be implemented by designing the guideway.
  • the actuating element can be mounted directly on the slide in the slide. This has the advantage that no separate bearing is required for the mounting of the actuating element.
  • the guideway is arranged at least two at an angle to one another has essentially linear guideway sections on which the actuating element is guided in a sliding manner.
  • the actuating element has at least two support points arranged on its outer contour, which are spaced apart and by means of which the actuating element is supported against the actuating force at two substantially linear guideway sections arranged at an angle to one another. This also promotes favorable low-friction guidance of the actuating element during the sliding pivoting movement.
  • the actuating element can be guided along a two-dimensional path, as a result of which the actuating force acting on the actuating element is deflected accordingly in a direction of action of the clamping spring.
  • the actuating element in particular possible to design the actuating element so small and compact that it is arranged completely within the space enclosed by the insulating material housing of the conductor connection terminal so that it does not protrude outwards.
  • the actuating element can nevertheless be actuated from the outside through a corresponding actuating opening of the conductor connecting terminal, e.g. through a tool.
  • the spring-loaded terminal connection can advantageously also be arranged entirely in the insulating material housing.
  • the actuating element has at least one passage area, through which an electrical conductor inserted through the conductor insertion opening can be guided in a straight line through an area surrounded by the actuating element to the clamping point.
  • the actuating element has two outer guide legs, via which the actuating element is supported on the guideway and between which the passage area is arranged.
  • This has the advantage that the actuating element can be made very robust despite the passage area and is guided symmetrically in a mechanically favorable manner. In this way, the actuating element can be provided in a simple and inexpensive manner despite the through opening, e.g. as a plastic injection molded part. If, as mentioned above, the actuating element has an arc contour corresponding to the arc shape of the guideway, this can be implemented in such a way that the outer guide legs have the arc contour corresponding to the guideway.
  • the actuating element has a groove or notch for receiving an actuating tool, via which the actuating element can be actuated to open and close the spring-loaded terminal connection.
  • an actuating tool For example, a screwdriver can be used as an operating tool, the blade of which is inserted into the groove or notch.
  • the conductor connection terminal has a manually actuable actuation lever with a grip area protruding from the insulating material housing, the actuation lever being fastened to the conductor connection terminal and being set up to actuate the actuating element to open and close the spring-loaded terminal connection.
  • the conductor terminal is can be designed either for a tool actuation or for a lever actuation, in fact with an essentially identical design of the other individual parts, in particular of the actuating element.
  • the actuating lever can be lockable, so that a once selected position of the spring clamp connection, ie opened or closed, is maintained until the actuating lever is actuated again.
  • the actuating lever can be mounted, for example, with a separate bearing on the insulating housing, for example on a cover part of the insulating housing.
  • the clamping spring has a separate actuating leg and / or at least one actuating section of the clamping leg and / or at least one actuating section arranged between the contact leg and the clamping leg as the actuating area.
  • the conductor terminal can also be designed very universally with regard to the clamping spring, e.g. with an essentially U-shaped clamping spring.
  • clamping springs can advantageously be used which have a spring arch between the clamping leg and the contact leg. It is advantageous here to provide the actuating section between the spring arch and the clamping leg or on part of the clamping leg.
  • the conductor connection terminal has an insertion direction of an electrical conductor, in which the electrical conductor inserted through the conductor insertion opening can be guided in a straight line to the clamping point, and the actuating element can be actuated in an actuating direction which is at least 60 Degree, in particular at least 80 degrees, deviates from the direction of insertion of the electrical conductor.
  • the actuating element can be actuated in an actuating direction which is at least 60 Degree, in particular at least 80 degrees, deviates from the direction of insertion of the electrical conductor.
  • the guideway is not completely circular.
  • the guideway can also be arranged at points in the insulating material housing that would otherwise not be usable for this.
  • edge areas of the insulating material housing can be used to form the guideway.
  • the conductor terminal can be made compact overall.
  • the guideway is linearly and / or arched piece by piece. This enables many degrees of freedom in determining the guideway and guiding the actuating element.

  • the actuating element can be locked, in particular can be locked on the insulating material housing.

  • the lock can e.g. can be realized by snapping the actuating element onto an edge or another projection of the insulating material housing.
  • the conductor connection terminal has a manually actuable actuating lever, the actuating lever being mounted on the insulating housing with a bearing separate from the mounting of the actuating element.
  • a lever-operated conductor connecting terminal can be provided, in which the mechanics of the actuating lever can be designed separately from the mechanics of the actuating element. This allows additional degrees of freedom in the design of the conductor connection terminal.
  • the actuating element bears on at least two spaced-apart contact points on the guideway, the actuating element not abutting the guideway between adjacent contact points. In this way, a smooth-running actuating element can be realized, which can be actuated manually with little actuating force.
