Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for attaching marker plates to a plurality of electrical devices that can be arranged on a mounting rail.
  • Such a method is used to attach marking plates to a plurality of electrical devices that can be arranged on a mounting rail and each have a marking field on which a marking plate that can be inscribed can be attached.
  • the electrical devices are lined up along a longitudinal direction to provide an assembly in such a way that the marking fields of the electrical devices adjoin one another along the longitudinal direction and form a continuous row extending along the longitudinal direction.
  • Such an assembly is, for example, from DE 10 2013 112 789 A1 known and in particular comprises a plurality of electrical devices in the form of so-called terminal blocks.
  • the electrical devices are arranged on an auxiliary transport device in the form of a carrier tape and can be transported in such a preassembled state and used in a machine for equipping a carrier rail.
  • Electrical devices that can be attached to a mounting rail for example terminal blocks or electronic devices that are used to carry out control or automation functions, for example in the context of an industrial plant, can for example be combined with one another in a control cabinet and for this purpose mounted on one in the control cabinet Mounting rail can be attached to provide an electrical system within the control cabinet.
  • marking plates are attached to the electrical devices. While machines are now used to equip mounting rails, for example with terminal blocks, such as those from the DE 10 2010 047 369 A1 are known, the identification of the electrical devices attached to a mounting rail is often still done manually by already labeled marking plates being attached to the electrical devices. This is cumbersome and can also be prone to errors.
  • a device for mounting an identification plate in a groove-shaped latching recess of a terminal block is known.
  • a labeled identification plate can be pressed into an associated latching recess of a terminal block by means of an assembly stamp.
  • Another device for marking switchgear terminal blocks is from the DE-U 1 857 546 known.
  • the DE 203 03 475 U1 describes that terminal blocks that form a labeling level on a level without lateral offset can be marked together with a coherent labeling strip.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for attaching marking plates to electrical devices, as well as a marking strip and an assembly of electrical devices that allow electrical devices, for example terminal blocks, to be labeled in a simple, automatable manner.
  • the presented method represents a departure from conventionally known methods for labeling electrical devices that are to be arranged on a mounting rail.
  • electrical devices to which markable labels are to be attached are first grouped into an assembly and for this purpose lined up so that marking fields of the electrical devices adjoin one another along a longitudinal direction and form a continuous row extending along the longitudinal direction.
  • a (coherent) marking strip can then be attached to this row, which has a plurality of marking plates that can be written on.
  • the marking plates are attached to the row of electrical devices in such a way that one (or more) marking plates are assigned to each marking field of an electrical device. After the marking strip has been applied, the marking plates are separated so that one or more marking plates remain on the marking field of each electrical device.
  • the marking plates arranged on the marking fields of the electrical devices can be inscribed by means of a laser inscription device. This can be done before or after the electrical devices are attached to a mounting rail.
  • marking plates are initially attached to a plurality of electrical devices in a manner that is easy to automate, and only then are the marking plates inscribed by a laser inscription device.
  • the labeling can take place, for example, when the electrical devices are already attached to a mounting rail and combined with other electrical devices, for which purpose a laser beam from the laser labeling device is controlled in such a way that a suitable, individual label is applied to the individual marking plates of the electrical devices in a targeted manner .
  • the electrical devices are thus initially provided with unlabeled marking labels and can thus be delivered and attached to a mounting rail. First after placing it on the mounting rail, the labeling takes place, which can reduce the susceptibility to errors when labeling.
  • the marking strip can preferably be glued onto the electrical devices along the row of marking fields.
  • the marking strip on the marking plates can have an adhesive layer which forms an adhesive connection with the electrical devices and via which the marking plates are individually attached to the respectively assigned marking fields of the electrical devices.
  • the marking fields of the electrical devices can be provided on recesses in the electrical devices.
  • the recesses of the electrical devices form a groove which extends longitudinally along the longitudinal direction and into which the marking strip can be inserted in order to fasten the marking strip to the electrical devices.
  • the marking fields to which the marking strips of the marking strips are to be attached can be formed, for example, on the bottoms of the recesses of the electrical devices, it being conceivable and possible for the recesses to each have undercuts on the side edges that create a Establish a positive connection and thus hold the marking strip in the groove with a positive fit.
  • the marking strip can have a trapezoidal shape which tapers conically in the attachment direction and which facilitates the insertion of the marking strip into the groove.
  • the electrical devices for example in the form of terminal blocks, can be lined up next to one another, for example on a carrier tape extending along the longitudinal direction.
  • the carrier tape provides an auxiliary transport device, as shown in DE 10 2013 112 789 A1 is described.
  • a network of electrical devices is created that can be gripped by a user and used, for example, in a machine for equipping a mounting rail.
  • the electrical devices, for example terminal blocks can have the same design, but can also be of different designs, as long as the marking fields of the individual electrical devices connect to one another and form a continuous row to which the marking strip can be attached.
  • the marking strip is in the form of a continuous strip in which the marking plates can be connected to one another in different ways.
  • the marking plates can be connected to one another via a fixing strip in the initial state, the fixing strip being detachable from the marking plates in order to separate the marking plates.
  • the marking strip can thus - in the case of marking plates connected to one another via the fixing strip - be attached to the row of marking fields of the electrical devices in order to glue the marking plates to the electrical devices, for example. If the marking strip is arranged on the electrical devices, the fixing strip can be peeled off, the marking plates remaining on the electrical devices and the electrical devices thus being equipped with marking plates that can be written on.
  • the marking plates can also be connected to one another in one piece in the initial state.
  • the marking plates can be separated from one another, for example by separating the marking plates from one another along separating lines formed on the marking strips.
  • the dividing lines can be formed on the marking strip, for example, by targeted material weakening, for example by perforation or by material thinning.
  • Adjacent marking plates can be detached from one another along the dividing lines, which can be done automatically using a suitable tool or even when the electrical devices are separated from one another.
  • the electrical devices of the assembly have been equipped with marking plates by means of the described method, then some or all of the electrical devices can be attached to a mounting rail in order to equip the mounting rail and in this way provide an electrical system, for example within a control cabinet.
  • an electrical device can be removed from the assembly of the electrical devices in a row and attached to the mounting rail.
  • the marking plate of the electrical device that has been removed and attached to the mounting rail can then be labeled with a laser labeling device in order to identify the electrical device, for example, in its function and / or in its connections.
  • Very different electrical devices of very different designs can be combined with one another on the mounting rail. Marking plates of the different electrical devices can be labeled via the laser labeling device, which can be done with electrical devices already arranged on the mounting rail.
  • a marking strip for fastening to a row of marking fields of a plurality of lined up electrical devices that can be arranged on a mounting rail has a plurality of marking plates that are connected to one another in an initial state, are to be separated and can be labeled with a laser marking device. Because the marking strip as a whole can be attached to the row of marking fields of the side-by-side electrical devices, the electrical devices can be provided with marking plates in one work step, which can then be labeled using laser inscription.
  • Each marking label of the marking strip can, for example, have an adhesive layer for attachment to a marking field of an electrical device. Each marking plate can be attached to an assigned marking field of an electrical device via the adhesive layer and thus glued to the marking field.
  • the marking plates of the marking strip can be written on using a laser marking device.
  • a laser beam can be directed onto a marking plate in order to apply a predetermined, individual identification to the marking plate in this way.
  • the marking plates can have a single-layer basic structure of a laser-inscribable material. In this case, laser marking changes the material itself so that a color change is triggered in the material.
  • a multi-layer basic structure can be used in which a cover layer is arranged on a base material, which cover layer can be removed by means of a laser beam in order to produce an inscription in this way.
  • the marking strip is present as a continuous strip.
  • the marking plates of the marking strip are connected to one another via a fixing strip, the Fixing strips for separating the marking plates can be detached from the marking plates.
  • the fixing strip is preferably arranged on a first side of the marking plates which faces away from a second side via which the marking plates can be attached to the electrical devices. After the marking strip has been applied to the electrical devices, the fixing strip can be peeled off the marking plates, so that the marking plates are separated from one another and the individual electrical devices are provided with separate marking plates.
  • the marking plates are connected to one another in one piece in an initial state and can be separated from one another along dividing lines.
  • the dividing lines can be introduced into the marking strips, for example, by targeted material weakening, for example by perforation or material thinning, so that the marking plates can be torn from one another along the dividing lines.
  • an (additional) fixing strip for connecting the marking plates can thus be omitted.
  • the marking plates are connected to one another in one piece.
  • the marking labels can be separated automatically, for example, when the electrical devices are removed from one another, without an additional work step being required for this purpose.
  • An assembly has a plurality of electrical devices that can be arranged on a mounting rail, each of which includes a marking field to which a marking plate can be attached.
  • the electrical devices are lined up along a longitudinal direction in such a way that the marking fields of the electrical devices adjoin one another along the longitudinal direction and form a continuous row extending along the longitudinal direction.
  • a marking strip which has a plurality of marking plates that are assigned to the marking fields of the electrical devices and that can be labeled with a laser marking device, is attached to the electrical devices along the row.
  • the assembly is preferably obtained as an intermediate product in the method described above.
  • the electrical devices with marking plates arranged thereon are present, with the Marking plates may or may not already be isolated from one another by pulling off a fixing strip or by separating the marking fields along separating lines.
  • the assembly of electrical devices can, for example, be arranged on a carrier tape and in this way represent a compact assembly that can be handled in a simple manner.
  • the assembly can, for example, be delivered to an end user by a manufacturer of the electrical devices, with the labeling of the marking plates of the electrical devices at the end user being possible after the electrical devices have been attached to a mounting rail.
