Description

Kabelbrückenmodul zur flexiblen Verknüpfung von Verbindungsklem- men Cable bridge module for flexible connection of connection terminals
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kabelbrückenmodul zur elektrischen Brückung von zwei elektrischen Verbindungsklemmen. The present invention relates to a cable bridge module for the electrical bridging of two electrical connection terminals.
Elektrische Verbindungsklemmen sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt und häufig als Reihenklemmen ausgebildet, die bei der Verdrahtung elektrischer Anlagen und Geräte verwendet werden. Reihenklemmen werden üblicherweise auf Tragschienen aufgerastet, welche ihrerseits häufig in einer Mehrzahl in einem Schalt¬ schrank angeordnet sind. Als Leiteranschlusselemente werden in Reihenklemmen üblicherweise Schraubklemmen oder Zugfederklemmen verwendet. Daneben können aber auch Schneidanschlussklemmen oder Schenkelfederklemmen verwendet werden. Electrical connection terminals are known from the prior art and often formed as terminal blocks, which are used in the wiring of electrical equipment and devices. Terminal blocks are usually snapped onto mounting rails, which in turn are often arranged in a plurality in a switch cabinet ¬ . As conductor connection elements screw terminals or tension spring terminals are usually used in terminal blocks. In addition, however, cutting terminals or leg spring terminals can be used.
Eine Verbindungsklemme weist mindestens zwei Leiteranschlussele¬ mente auf, die über eine elektrisch leitende Verbindungsschiene, die Stromschiene, elektrisch miteinander verbunden sind. Neben diesem Grundtyp, der häufig auch als die Durchgangs klemme be- zeichnet wird, gibt es eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Reihenklemmentypen, die speziell an den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall angepasst sind. Als Beispiel seien hier Schutzleiterklemmen, Trennklemmen und Prüfklemmen genannt. Es ist häufig erforderlich, dass mehrere beispielsweise in einem Schaltschrank angeordnete bzw. verbaute Verbindungsklemmen das gleiche elektrische Potential aufweisen. Zu diesem Zweck ist es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, dass Verbindungsklemmen einen Brückenschacht aufweisen, über den die Stromschienen der jeweiligen Verbindungsklemmen elektrisch kontaktierbar sind. Zur Brückung von zwei oder mehr Verbindungsklemmen, wobei bei der Brückung die elektrischen Potentiale der Verbindungsklemmen mit- einander elektrisch verbunden werden, sind aus dem Stand der Technik Steckbrücken bekannt, die in die jeweiligen Brückenschächten der Verbindungsklemmen eingeschoben werden. Solche in der DE 20 2014 100 897 Ul beschriebenen Steckbrücken weisen ein elektrisch isolierendes Gehäuse auf, in dem mehrere elektrisch miteinander verbundene Kontaktstifte angeordnet sind. Durch Ein¬ führen einer solchen Steckbrücke in Brückenschächte von Verbindungsklemmen werden die Stromschienen dieser Verbindungsklemmen mittels der Steckbrücke miteinander elektrisch verbunden, so dass die so miteinander gebrückten Verbindungsklemmen das glei- che elektrische Potential aufweisen. A connection terminal has at least two Leiteranschlussele ¬ elements, which are electrically connected to each other via an electrically conductive connection rail, the busbar. In addition to this basic type, which is often referred to as the passage terminal, there are a large number of different types of terminal block, which are specially adapted to the respective application. As an example, protective conductor terminals, disconnect terminals and test terminals may be mentioned here. It is often necessary that a plurality of, for example, arranged in a cabinet or built connection terminals have the same electrical potential. For this purpose, it is known from the prior art that connecting terminals a Have bridge shaft via which the busbars of the respective connection terminals are electrically contacted. For bridging two or more connection terminals, the electrical potentials of the connection terminals being electrically connected to one another in the bridging connection, jumpers are known from the prior art which are inserted into the respective bridge shafts of the connection terminals. Such jumpers described in DE 20 2014 100 897 U1 have an electrically insulating housing in which a plurality of contact pins which are electrically connected to one another are arranged. A ¬ by performing such Shorting plug in bridge shafts of connecting terminals, the power rails of said connecting terminals electrically connected by the jumper with each other, so that the so-bridged together connection terminals have the same electrical potential surface.
Bei geometrisch komplexen Anordnungen von miteinander zu brückenden Verbindungsklemmen, die beispielsweise auf unterschied¬ lichen Tragschienen aufgerastet sind, ist folglich auch die geometrische Ausgestaltung der Steckbrücken zur Brückung dieser Verbindungsklemmen komplex. Ferner müssen zur Brückung der Verbindungsklemmen speziell geometrisch ausgeformte Steckbrücken mit an vorgegeben Positionen angeordneten Kontaktstiften verwendet werden. In geometrically complex arrangements of one another to form bridges connecting terminals, which are snapped on, for example, different ¬ union support rails, and consequently also the geometric configuration of the jumpers for bridging these connecting terminals is complex. Furthermore, to bridge the connection terminals specially geometrically shaped jumpers must be used with arranged at predetermined positions pins.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Kabelbrückenmodul ist es möglich, zwei Verbindungsklemmen unabhängig von deren Positionierung zueinander besonders einfach miteinander zu brücken, so dass beide Verbindungsklemmen, im Genaueren die jeweiligen Stromschienen der Verbindungsklemmen, das gleiche elektrische Potential auf- weisen. Ein Brücken einer ersten Verbindungsklemme mit einer zweiten Verbindungsklemme wird durch Einführen eines ersten Ka¬ belbrückenmoduls in den Brückenschacht einer ersten Verbindungs¬ klemme derart, dass der erste Kontaktbereich des elektrischen Kontakts des ersten Kabelbrückenmoduls mit dem Stromschiene der ersten Verbindungsklemme elektrisch verbunden ist, und durch Einführen eines zweiten Kabelbrückenmoduls in den Brü¬ ckenschacht einer zweiten Verbindungsklemme derart, dass der erste Kontaktbereich des elektrischen Kontakts des zweiten Kabelbrückenmoduls mit dem Stromschiene der zweiten Verbindungs- klemme elektrisch verbunden ist, und durch anschließendes oder vorhergehendes Einführen und in elektrischen Kontakt bringen eines elektrischen Leiters mit den jeweiligen zweiten Kontaktbereichen des ersten Kabelbrückenmoduls und des zweiten Kabelbrückenmoduls erreicht. Daher können auch entfernt und be- liebig zueinander angeordnet Verbindungsklemmen einfach gebrückt werden .

Das Kabelbrückenmodul 100 ist zur elektrischen Brü¬ ckung von zwei elektrischen Verbindungsklemmen 20 (siehe Figuren 2A und 2B) ausgebildet, wobei die Verbindungsklemmen 20 jeweils einen Brückenschacht 23 aufweisen, über den jeweils eine Stromschiene der jeweiligen Verbindungsklemmen 20 kontaktierbar ist. Das Kabelbrückenmodul 100 weist ein elektrisch isolierendes Ge¬ häuse 110 auf, in dem ein elektrischer Kontakt 130 angeordnet ist. Der elektrische Kontakt 130 weist einen ersten Kontaktbe¬ reich 131 und einen zweiten Kontaktbereich 132 auf, wobei der erste Kontaktbereich 131 mit dem zweiten Kontaktbereich 132 elektrisch und/oder galvanisch verbunden ist. Der erste Kontaktbereich 131 ist bei den Ausführungsbeispielen als Kontaktstift 131 ausgebildet, ragt aus dem Gehäuse 110 hervor und ist zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mit einer Stromschiene einer Verbindungsklemme 20 ausgebildet. Der zweite Kontaktbereich 132 ist bei den Ausführungsbeispielen der vorliegenden Erfindung als Schneideinsatz 132 ausgebildet und innerhalb des Gehäuses 110 angeordnet . FIG. 1A shows a perspective view of a cable bridge module 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The cable bridge module 100 is (for electrical Brü ¬ ckung of two electrical connection terminals 20, see figures 2A and 2B), wherein the connecting terminals 20 each have a bridge shaft 23, via which in each case a busbar of the respective connecting terminals 20 can be contacted. The cable bridge module 100 includes an electrically insulating Ge ¬ housing 110 in which an electrical contact is disposed 130th The electrical contact 130 has a first Kontaktbe ¬ rich 131 and a second contact region 132, wherein the first contact portion 131 to the second contact region 132 is electrically and / or electrically connected. The first contact region 131 is formed in the embodiments as a contact pin 131 protrudes from the housing 110 and is formed for electrical contact with a busbar of a connection terminal 20. The second contact region 132 is formed in the embodiments of the present invention as a cutting insert 132 and disposed within the housing 110.
Das Kabelbrückenmodul 100 gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung weist ferner ein Betätigungselement 120 auf, das als Schwenkelement 120 ausgebildet ist. Das Schwenkele¬ ment 120 ist innerhalb des Gehäuses 110 drehbar bzw. schwenkbar gelagert und um eine Drehachse 123 drehbar bzw. schwenkbar. In dem Schwenkelement 120 ist eine Leiteraufnahme 121 zur Aufnahme eines elektrischen Leiters 10, beispielsweise eines Kabels 10 ausgebildet. Die Leiteraufnahme 121 ist bei dem Kabelbrückenmo¬ dul 100 gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung als Durchgangsbohrung 121 durch das Schwenkelement 120 ausgebildet . The cable bridge module 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes an actuator 120 configured as a pivot member 120. The Schwenkele ¬ ment 120 is rotatably mounted or pivotally mounted within the housing 110 and about a rotational axis 123 rotatable or pivotable. In the pivoting element 120, a conductor receptacle 121 for receiving an electrical conductor 10, for example a cable 10 is formed. The conductor receptacle 121 is formed in the Kabelbrückenmo ¬ module 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention as a through hole 121 through the pivot member 120.
Der als Kabel 10 ausgebildete elektrischer Leiter 10, der in den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen mit einer Isolierummante- lung 11 umschlossen ist, ist über eine Leitereinführöffnung 122 in den Leiteraufnahmeraum 121 einführbar. Damit das Kabel 10 über die Leitereinführöffnung 122 in die Leiteraufnahme 121 des Schwenkelements 120 vereinfacht eingeführt werden kann, ist das Schwenkelement 120 zwischen einer Aufnahmestellung, die in den Figuren 1A und 1B gezeigt ist, und einer Kontaktstellung, die in Figur IC dargestellt ist, um die Drehachse 123 drehbar. In der Aufnahmestellung des Schwenkelements 120 ist das Kabel 10 ver¬ einfacht in die Durchgangsbohrung 121 des Schwenkelements 120 einführbar. Durch Verschwenken des Schwenkelement 120 um die Drehachse 123, was bei den Darstellungen der Figuren 1A bis IC durch eine Drehung des Schwenkelements 120 entgegen des Uhrzei- gersinns erfolgt, wird der elektrische Leiter 10 mit dem als Schneideinsatz 132 ausgebildeten zweiten Kontaktbereich 132 des elektrischen Leiters 130 in Kontakt gebracht. The electrical conductor 10 formed as a cable 10, which is enclosed in the illustrated embodiments with an insulating sleeve 11, can be inserted into the conductor receiving space 121 via a conductor insertion opening 122. Thus, the cable 10 via the Leitereinführöffnung 122 in the conductor receptacle 121 of Pivoting element 120 can be inserted in a simplified manner, the pivoting element 120 between a receiving position, which is shown in Figures 1A and 1B, and a contact position, which is shown in Figure IC, rotatable about the rotation axis 123. In the receiving position of the pivoting element 120, the cable 10 is ver ¬ simple inserted into the through hole 121 of the pivot member 120. By pivoting the pivoting element 120 about the axis of rotation 123, which takes place counterclockwise in the illustrations of FIGS. 1A to 1C by a rotation of the pivoting element 120, the electrical conductor 10 becomes with the second contact region 132 of the electrical conductor 130 formed as a cutting insert 132 brought into contact.
Durch Überführen des Schwenkelements 120 von der Aufnahmestel- lung in die in Figur IC dargestellte Kontaktstellung wird der elektrische Leiter 10 als auch die Isolierummantelung 11 des elektrischen Leiters 10 mittels des Schneideinsatzes 132 durch¬ trennt, so dass der elektrische Leiter 10 mit dem Schneideinsatz 132 in elektrischen Kontakt steht. Folglich steht der elektri- sehe Leiter 10 über den Schneideinsatz 132 auch mit dem Kontaktstift 131 in elektrischen Kontakt. By conversion of the pivot member 120 from the Aufnahmestel- lung into the position shown in Figure IC contact position of the electrical conductors 10 and the insulating sheath 11 of the electrical conductor 10 by means of the cutting insert 132 is separated by ¬, so that the electrical conductor 10 with the cutting insert 132 in electrical contact stands. Consequently, the electrical conductor 10 is also in electrical contact with the contact pin 131 via the cutting insert 132.
Figur 2A zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung einer Verbindungsklemmenanordnung, die auch als Reihenklemmenanordnung be- zeichnet werden kann. Die Reihenklemmenanordnung umfasst dabei zwei Verbindungsklemmenmodule, die auch als Reihenklemmenmodule bezeichnet werden können, wobei jedes Verbindungsklemmenmodul durch fünf Verbindungsklemmen 20 gebildet ist. Die Verbindungs¬ klemmen 20 sind dabei jeweils auf einer Tragschiene 30 aufge- rastet. FIG. 2A shows a perspective view of a connection terminal arrangement, which can also be referred to as a terminal block arrangement. The modular terminal arrangement comprises two connection terminal modules, which can also be referred to as terminal modules, wherein each connection terminal module is formed by five connection terminals 20. The connection terminals 20 are each latched onto a mounting rail 30.
Aus Figur 2A ist ersichtlich, dass in einem Brückenschacht 23 einer Verbindungsklemme 20 ein Kabelbrückenmodul 100 eingesetzt ist, so dass der in Figur 2A nicht ersichtliche Kontaktstift 131 mit einer in den Figuren ebenfalls nicht sichtbaren Stromschiene der Verbindungsklemme 20 verbunden ist. It can be seen from FIG. 2A that a cable bridge module 100 is inserted in a bridge shaft 23 of a connection terminal 20, so that the contact pin 131, which is not shown in FIG is connected to a likewise not visible in the figures busbar of the connection terminal 20.
In dem in Figur 2A rechts dargestellten Verbindungsklemmenmodul, das ebenfalls aus fünf zueinander benachbarten Verbindungsklemmen 20 gebildet ist, ist ebenfalls in dem Brückenschacht 23 einer Verbindungsklemme 20 ein Kabelbrückenmodul 100 eingesetzt, so dass der Kontaktstift 131, der in den Figuren nicht ersichtlich ist, mit einer ebenfalls in den Figuren nicht gezeigten Strom- schiene der Verbindungsklemme 20 in elektrischen Kontakt steht. In the connection terminal module shown on the right in FIG. 2A, which is likewise formed of five mutually adjacent connection terminals 20, a cable bridge module 100 is likewise inserted in the bridge shaft 23 of a connection terminal 20 so that the contact pin 131, which is not apparent in the figures, is provided with a also in the figures, not shown busbar of the connection terminal 20 is in electrical contact.
Aus Figur 2B, die eine seitliche Darstellung der in Figur 2A dargestellten Reihenklemmanordnung zeigt, ist ersichtlich, dass die zwei Tragschienen 30 und somit die Verbindungsklemmenmodule auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen angeordnet sind. Zwei Kabelbrückenmodule 100, die in die jeweiligen Brückenschächten 23 jeweils einer Verbindungsklemme 20 eingesetzt sind, sind mittels eines Kabels 10 miteinander verbunden. Bei der Darstellung gemäß Figur 2A befinden sich die jeweiligen Schwenkelemente der 120 der Ka- belbrückenmodule 100 in deren Aufnahmestellung, wohingegen in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 2B die Schwenkelemente 120 in ihrer Kontaktstellung dargestellte sind. Folglich sind die zwei elekt¬ rische Verbindungsklemmen 20 mittels einer Kabelbrückenanord¬ nung, die zwei Kabelbrückenmodule 100 und einen elektrischen Leiter 10 aufweisen, auf besonders einfache Art und Weise und unabhängig von der Geometrie der Reihenklemmanordnung miteinander gebrückt. From FIG. 2B, which shows a side view of the terminal block arrangement shown in FIG. 2A, it can be seen that the two mounting rails 30 and thus the connection terminal modules are arranged on different planes. Two cable bridge modules 100, which are inserted into the respective bridge shafts 23 each having a connection terminal 20, are connected to one another by means of a cable 10. In the illustration according to FIG. 2A, the respective pivoting elements of the 120 of the cable bridge modules 100 are in their receiving position, whereas in the illustration according to FIG. 2B the pivoting elements 120 are shown in their contact position. Consequently, the two elekt ¬ generic connecting terminals are bridged by means of a 20 Kabelbrückenanord ¬ voltage having two cable bridge modules 100 and an electrical conductor 10 in a particularly simple manner and independent of the geometry of the modular terminal arrangement.

In der Aufnahmestellung des Drückelements 220 ist das Kabel 10 vereinfacht in die Leiteraufnahme 211 des Gehäuses 210 einführbar. Durch Verschieben des Drückelements 220 wird der elektrische Leiter 10 mit dem als Schneidei¬ nsatz 232 ausgebildeten zweiten Kontaktbereich 232 des elektrischen Leiters 230 in Kontakt gebracht. Durch Überführen des Drückelements 220 von der in Figur 3B dargestellten Aufnahmestellung in die in Figur 3C dargestellte Kontaktstellung wird der elektrische Leiter 10 als auch die Isolierummantelung 11 des elektrischen Leiters 10 mittels des Schneideinsatzes 232 durchtrennt, so dass der elektrische Leiter 10 mit dem Schneideinsatz 232 in elektrischen Kontakt steht. Folglich steht der elektrische Leiter 10 über den Schneideinsatz 232 auch mit dem Kontaktstift 231 in elektrischen Kontakt. Damit das Drückelement 220 trotz Schneideinsatz 232 problemlos in des¬ sen Kontaktstellung gebracht werden kann, weist das Drückelement 220 eine Ausnehmung 223 auf, in die ein Teil des Schneideinsatzes 232 in Kontaktstellung des Drückelements 220 aufgenommen ist. The electrical conductor 10 formed as a cable 10, which is enclosed in the illustrated embodiments with an insulating sleeve 11, can be inserted into the conductor receiving space 211 via a conductor insertion opening 212. When the cable bridge module 200 is open, the cable 10 can be placed or positioned on the bearing shell 211 from above. In order that the cable 10 can be inserted in a simplified manner via the conductor insertion opening 212 into the conductor receptacle 211, the pressing element 220 is connected between one Recording position, which is shown in Figure 3B, and a contact position, which is shown in Figures 3A and 3C, translationally displaceable. In the receiving position of the pressing element 220, the cable 10 can be inserted into the conductor receptacle 211 of the housing 210 in a simplified manner. By shifting the pusher member 220, the electric conductor is contacted with the designed as Schneidei ¬ APPROACH 232 second contact portion 232 of the electrical conductor 230 into contact 10th By transferring the pressing element 220 from the receiving position shown in Figure 3B in the contact position shown in Figure 3C, the electrical conductor 10 and the insulating sheath 11 of the electrical conductor 10 is severed by means of the cutting insert 232, so that the electrical conductor 10 with the cutting insert 232 in electrical contact stands. Consequently, the electrical conductor 10 is also in electrical contact with the contact pin 231 via the cutting insert 232. Thus, the pressing member 220 can be easily brought into the contact position, despite ¬ sen cutting insert 232, the pressing member 220 has a recess 223 into which a portion of the cutting insert is received in the contact position of the pressing member 220 232nd
Figur 4 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung einer weiteren Reihenklemmanordnung. Die Reihenklemmanordnung umfasst dabei drei Verbindungsklemmenmodule, wobei jedes Verbindungsklemmen¬ modul durch fünf Verbindungsklemmen 20 gebildet ist. Die Verbindungsklemmen 20 sind dabei jeweils auf einer Tragschiene 30 aufgerastet . Aus Figur 4 ist ersichtlich, dass in jeweils einem Brückenschacht 23 von jeweils einer Verbindungsklemme 20 ein Kabelbrückenmodul 200 eingesetzt ist, so dass die jeweiligen Kontaktstifte 231 der Kabelbrückenmodule 200 mit jeweils einer in den Figuren nicht gezeigten Stromschiene der Verbindungsklemmen 20 verbunden sind. Die Verbindungsklemmen 20, in deren Brückenschächte 23 jeweils ein Kabelbrückenmodul 200 eingesetzt ist, sind mittels Kabeln 10 auf sehr einfache Art und Weise brückbar, obschon sich diese Verbindungsklemmen 20 auf unterschiedlichen Einbauebenen befin- den . FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of another row clamping arrangement. The modular terminal block assembly in this case comprises three connecting terminal modules, each module-connecting terminals ¬ is formed by five connecting terminals 20th The connection terminals 20 are in each case latched onto a mounting rail 30. It can be seen from FIG. 4 that a cable bridge module 200 is inserted into each of a bridge shaft 23 of in each case one connection terminal 20, so that the respective contact pins 231 of the cable bridge modules 200 are each connected to a bus bar of the connection terminals 20, not shown in the figures. The connection terminals 20, in whose bridge shafts 23 a respective cable bridge module 200 is inserted, can be bridged by means of cables 10 in a very simple manner, although these connection terminals 20 are located at different installation levels.
