Definitions

  • the invention relates to a honeycomb module (20) for forming a jumper honeycomb (10), the honeycomb module having a box-shaped housing with two end faces and four side faces extending between the end faces, the two end faces of the honeycomb modules each having at least one connection area, with the side surfaces of the honeycomb building blocks each have at least one connecting element for connecting to another honeycomb building block, the connecting elements, which are formed on opposite side surfaces, designed and arranged to correspond to one another and wherein the connecting elements each have a longitudinal extension that runs parallel to the longitudinal extension of the respective side surface .
  • the invention also relates to a marshalling honeycomb and a tool for releasing a honeycomb module from a marshalling honeycomb.
  • patch panels are often used, especially where a plurality of electrical conductors have to be connected in a very confined space.
  • patch panels are known from practice in which a plurality of honeycomb modules are arranged in corresponding chambers of the frame within a fixed, rectangular assembly frame. Electrical conductors can be connected to the patch panel or the individual modules from the front, the field side, and from the rear, the system side.
  • connection elements are arranged in the box-shaped housings of the individual honeycomb modules, which are usually connected to one another via corresponding busbars, so that an electrical conductor inserted through a corresponding conductor entry opening in the front face is connected to an electrical conductor or a connection contact can be electrically connected, which is inserted through a corresponding insertion opening in the rear end face of the housing.
  • Such a marshalling honeycomb with a plurality of honeycomb modules is for example from FIG DE 195 12 226 A1 known.
  • the individual honeycomb modules that are used in the individual chambers of the mounting frame all have the same dimensions.
  • a fastening flange attachment is firmly connected to the patch panel on its upper and lower edge, via which the patch panel can be attached to a mounting frame by means of screws. It is not possible to adapt the marshalling honeycomb to the individual wishes of the user with this known marshalling space. If the number of conductors to be connected has to be increased, a correspondingly larger patch panel with a larger number of individual honeycomb modules must be used, whereby in practice patch panels with 18, 32, 48, 54 or 80 modules are available.
  • a patch panel is known that is characterized by increased flexibility and the ability to adapt the patch panel to individual requirements.
  • the latching elements which are formed on opposite side surfaces, are designed and arranged to correspond to one another, so that the honeycomb modules can be connected directly to one another.
  • honeycomb modules have locking pins on their individual side surfaces which can be inserted into corresponding locking holes on the opposite side surface of an adjacent honeycomb module.
  • the honeycomb modules each have two latching hooks on one side surface, which can be hooked into elongated latching holes that are formed on the opposite side surface are. Both the locking pins and the locking hooks extend perpendicularly to the longitudinal extent of the respective side surface, so that the jumper honeycomb has to be removed line by line or by column.
  • a patch panel which can also dispense with the use of a mounting frame, is also from the DE 35 87 796 T2 known.
  • this jumper honeycomb on which the present invention is based, a plurality of webs are formed on the side surfaces of the individual honeycomb blocks, to which corresponding grooves are provided on the opposite side surface of the honeycomb blocks.
  • the webs and the grooves each run parallel to the longitudinal extension of the respective side face, ie in the direction of extension from one end face to the other end face.
  • Two honeycomb modules arranged next to one another can thus be simply plugged together by inserting the webs on the side surface of one honeycomb module into the corresponding grooves on the opposite side surface of the other honeycomb module. Projections formed on the grooves ensure that two honeycomb modules cannot be displaced against one another in the longitudinal direction of the side surfaces after they have been plugged together.
  • the honeycomb blocks each have mutually opposite incisions in their side faces, which are dovetail-shaped.
  • the locking wedge has a corresponding two-sided dovetail cross-section.
  • a locking hook is formed on one end face of the locking wedge, which ensures that the locking wedge is locked in the recess when it is completely inserted into the recess between two honeycomb modules.
  • the locking elements formed on the individual honeycomb modules ensure a secure and stable connection of the individual honeycomb modules with one another, so that a stable marshalling honeycomb is created without the need for a corresponding mounting frame.
  • the disadvantage here is that due to the latching of the individual honeycomb modules with one another, dismantling of the shunting honeycomb is either not possible at all or only possible with increased effort. It is just as impossible to remove a honeycomb module that is not located directly on the edge of the marshalling honeycomb as it is to insert a new honeycomb module inside the marshalling honeycomb, so that the replacement of individual, defective honeycomb modules is not possible or only possible with increased effort.
  • US 2014/196925 A1 discloses a power distribution box having a plurality of interconnected support modules.
  • connecting elements in the form of guide rails and grooves are formed on the side surfaces of the carrier modules, the longitudinal extent of which runs parallel to the longitudinal extent of the respective side surface.
  • resilient locking arms are also formed on the side surfaces, each having two opposing locking hooks. The locking hooks interact with a corresponding locking rib of an adjacent module, in that the locking rib is arranged between the opposing locking hooks in the assembled state.
  • D1 discloses the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a patch panel with a plurality of honeycomb modules in which individual honeycomb modules can be removed from the patch panel with little effort, even in the assembled state.
  • the patch panel should have a high level of stability overall.

  • the formation of such stops or edges is preferably dispensed with, so that the connecting elements do not prevent two honeycomb modules from being displaced relative to one another in the z direction. This has the advantage that the individual honeycomb modules can then not only be assembled in one direction.

  • the locking arms are designed and arranged so that their ends intersect with the locking hooks in the longitudinal direction. If two honeycomb modules are connected to each other, in which two such resilient locking arms are arranged on the opposite side surfaces, this leads to the two locking hook pairs formed by the total of four locking arms or locking hooks crossing in the middle of the side surfaces of the honeycomb modules.
  • a displacement of two honeycomb blocks connected to one another in this way parallel to the longitudinal extent of the two opposite side surfaces is then no longer possible, so that the two honeycomb blocks are securely locked to one another in the z-direction.

  • the force that is required for the deflection of the locking arm can be reduced as a result.
  • the load at the pivot point of the latching arm is also lower, compared to a latching arm in which the force application point is only a very small distance from the pivot point. This reduces the risk of damage to the locking arms, in particular the locking arms breaking off at the pivot point.
