Definitions

  • the invention relates to a modular power strip with at least two modules, which are releasably connected to one another by means of a coupling device having a plug part and a plug receiving part, and at least one functional element is arranged on each module.
  • Multiple power strips are known from the prior art, which have a plurality of sockets to which electrical consumers can be connected using standardized plugs of different types. Such multiple power strips have a connected electrical line with a plug with which they are connected to a common power network with single-phase alternating current and thus act as a distributor by supplying power to the integrated sockets and in particular to an indefinite number of electrical consumers connected to them.
  • Such power strips are usually designed in such a way that the integrated sockets are arranged at a short distance from one another, which can lead to larger plugs, such as power supplies, blocking several sockets or at least making it very difficult to use neighboring sockets.
  • known power strips can have an integrated switch, which acts as a breaker for the entire or a fixed part of the power strip, whereby all sockets switched by it and consumers connected to it are simultaneously and jointly separated from the power or connected to it. Separate switching of individual sockets or consumers connected to them is not possible in this way.
  • Conventional multiple socket strips also have a fixed number of sockets, which can neither be reduced nor increased, which means that additional consumers cannot be connected if the integrated sockets are full.
  • power strips which contain a plurality of identical or different individual electrical modules arranged in a row and fulfilling one or more functions, which can be manipulated by the user according to the situation in terms of their combination and arrangement and in particular address the disadvantages of conventional power strips mentioned.
  • sockets can be blocked by adjacent plugs, power supplies or small electrical appliances due to the small dimensions of the individual modules, but can also be adapted to changing situations to a lesser extent or expanded by adding modules.

While the contact element 231 is arranged centrally and is therefore already contacted by a first contact pin 205 when the plug part 107 and the plug receiving part 104 are brought together in the direction of the axis of rotation A, a second contact element 230 is arranged in the end region of the elongated hole 207a.
  • the contact element 230 of the exemplary embodiment shown has a holding device 232 with which the plug part 107 engages when rotating relative to the plug receiving part 104, and when the electrical connection is established, creates an additional positive and non-positive connection between the plug part and the plug receiving part.
  • the form-closing element 206a of the second contact pin 206 locks behind one as a spring-shaped projection holding element 232 of the contact element 230, whereby both a releasable positive and non-positive as well as electrical connection can be produced between the form-closing element 206a and the contact element 230.
