Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection device also referred to as a spring clamp
  • a connection device is used to connect an electrical line.
  • a connection device can be used, for example, on an electrical system, a switch cabinet or another electrical assembly such as a printed circuit board or the like, in order to electrically connect the conductor by inserting an electrical conductor into a plug-in opening.
  • Such a connecting device comprises a contact element, which forms a plug-in opening for plugging in the electrical conductor, and a spring element which is arranged on the contact element and has a spring leg for locking a conductor plugged into the plug-in opening.
  • An actuating element which has an active section for acting on the spring leg, can be moved relative to the contact element. The actuating element serves to adjust the spring leg in order to enable a conductor to be inserted into the plug-in opening or to be able to remove a conductor which has been inserted into the plug-in opening from the plug-in opening.
  • the spring leg is adjusted here by moving the actuating element relative to the contact element, as a result of which the actuating element acts on the spring leg via its active section to move the spring leg from a starting position in the direction of a release position and thus deflects it and thereby brings it out of the area of the plug-in opening.
  • connection devices of this type it can be provided that a tool is used to act on the actuating element in order to thereby adjust the spring leg of the spring element. This can make it necessary for a user to simultaneously hold and actuate the connection device and the electrical conductor that may be to be connected, as well as the tool, which can be cumbersome and impractical.
  • connection device that enables simple handling by a user, in particular for plugging in an electrical conductor or for detaching an electrical conductor from the connection device.
  • At one from the U.S. 8,113,858 known connecting device is a spring element arranged in a housing and adjustable by a manually operable actuating element.
  • the actuating element is designed to act on the spring element in order to enable a conductor to be plugged in, with the spring element locking the electrical conductor on the housing in an electrically contacting manner after the conductor has been plugged in and the slider has been reset.
  • an actuating element which is adjustable for adjusting a spring leg of a spring element.
  • a contact can be inserted into a plug-in opening on a contact element and acts on a holding arm to release the holding frame from a connection with a contact blade. If the holding frame is released, the contact lamella snaps into contact with the contact pin and thus makes electrical contact with the contact pin.
  • a spring leg of a spring element is held in a starting position on a base. If an electrical conductor is inserted into a plug-in opening of the terminal contact, the conductor acts on a release lever and above it on the base, so that the spring leg is released and the conductor is locked.
  • an actuating lever mounted pivotably about a center of rotation in an insulating material housing is provided, which has a lever arm section and an actuating section that interacts to apply force to an associated clamping spring.
  • DE 10 2015 118033 A1 discloses the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection device that enables simple handling by a user, in particular for plugging in an electrical conductor or for detaching an electrical conductor that is plugged into the connection device.
  • the connecting device has an adjustment element which can be adjusted from a first position to a second position in order to convert the actuating element for moving the spring leg from the initial position to the release position, the adjustment element being latched in the second position relative to the contact element and having a Has triggering section which is designed to interact with the conductor when a conductor is inserted into the plug-in opening in order to release the latching of the adjustment element.
  • the connecting device thus comprises an actuating element that can be moved (for example, slidably) relative to the contact element and, in addition, an adjustment element that can be moved (for example, pivoted) relative to the contact element and via which the actuating element can be actuated.
  • the actuating element can be moved to move the spring leg from its initial position to the release position, in order to act on the spring leg of the spring element and deflect it in such a way that it is moved out of the area of the plug-in opening and thus a conductor into the Plug-in opening inserted or (when the conductor is plugged into the plug-in opening) can be detached from the plug-in opening.
  • the actuating element can thus be actuated in a way that is easy for a user to handle without using a tool.
  • the adjustment element is locked in its second position relative to the contact element.
  • the adjusting element is thus held in position in its second position and acts on the actuating element in order to lock the spring leg of the spring element in the release position.
  • the spring leg is thus locked in the release position when the actuating element is in the second position.
  • connection device can also be delivered in the latched position, for example, so that a customer can easily connect an electrical conductor to the connection device.
  • the latching of the adjusting element and the locking of the spring leg can be released in a simple manner via the release section by inserting an electrical conductor into the plug-in opening.
  • the electrical conductor acts with its conductor end on the trigger section and thereby releases the locking of the adjustment element, so that the adjustment element and the actuating element, supported by the prestressing effect of the Release position elastically deflected spring leg, are reset and the spring leg thus moves back towards its original position.
  • connection device closes automatically when an electrical conductor is inserted into the insertion opening of the contact element. A user therefore does not have to do any additional work to close the connection device. Closing takes place automatically when the electrical conductor is plugged in.
  • the triggering section In the second position of the adjusting element, the triggering section preferably protrudes into the area of the plug-in opening. If an electrical conductor is inserted into the plug-in opening, the electrical conductor comes into contact with the triggering section and moves it and the adjustment element out of the latched position.
  • the locking of the adjusting element in the second position is also produced via the triggering section.
  • the triggering section can have a latching lug, for example, via which the triggering section and above it the adjusting element are latched in the second position.
  • the action of the electrical conductor on the triggering section when it is plugged into the plug-in opening releases the latching of the triggering section and the adjusting element above it, so that the adjusting element and the actuating element are reset and the spring leg can move towards its initial position.
  • the latching lug in the second position of the adjustment element, can engage in an opening in a contacting section of the contact element, which the spring leg of the spring element is close to in the initial position.
  • the triggering section can, for example, extend from a handle section of the actuating element in the manner of a flag and be formed fixedly, for example in one piece, on the handle section.
  • the latching lug can be formed on an end of the triggering section remote from the gripping section.
  • the triggering section In the second position, the triggering section is moved with its latching lug towards the contacting section of the contact element in such a way that the latching lug engages in the opening on the contacting section and thereby latches the adjustment element to the contact element.
  • the triggering section extends within the plug-in opening, so that when it is plugged in, the electrical conductor acts on the triggering section and the latching of the latching lug with the contacting section is released.
  • the adjusting element can be latched to the actuating element in the second position.
  • the adjusting element is not directly latched to the contact element when it is in the second position, but is held in position indirectly via the actuating element.
  • the adjustment element is locked in the second position by the latching with the actuating element and can only be adjusted from the second position back into the first position after the latching has been released. By latching with the actuating element, the actuating element is also held in position and the spring leg of the spring element is held in the release position.
  • the adjustment element has at least one guide section, which is formed, for example, by a curved guide edge on the adjustment element.
  • the actuating element has a guide element, for example in the form of a projection element, which interacts with the guide section of the adjustment element when the adjustment element is adjusted. If the adjustment element is moved from its first position into the second position (for example pivoted), the adjustment element acts on the guide element of the actuating element via its guide section and thus moves the actuating element from the initial position in the direction of the release position.
  • the translation of the movement of the adjustment element into the movement of the actuating element can be set and specified in the desired manner by shaping the guide section, along which the guide element slides, for example when the adjustment element is pivoted.
  • the adjustment element has at least one engagement opening with which the at least one guide element engages in a latching manner when the adjustment element is in the second position. In the second position, the adjustment element is thus latched to the activation element by engagement of the guide element of the activation element in the engagement opening of the adjustment element, so that the adjustment element is held in position relative to the activation element and above it relative to the contact element.
  • the spring element designed as a leg spring has, in addition to the spring leg (realizing a clamping leg) (which serves to lock an electrical conductor inserted into the plug-in opening), Support leg on, via which the spring element is supported on the contact element.
  • the support limb is preferably bent over to form the spring limb, with the spring limb being elastically deflectable relative to the support limb in order to move the spring limb out of the region of the plug-in opening and to enable an electrical conductor to be inserted into the plug-in opening.
  • the spring leg is deflected with elastic tensioning of the spring element, so that after the adjustment element has been reset from the second position in the direction of the first position, the spring leg resets itself automatically due to the elastic tension of the spring element, and possibly also the actuating element from the release position in the direction of the starting position emotional.
  • the electrical conductor is locked in the plug-in opening by the action of the spring leg and is also pressed into electrical contact with the contact element, so that the electrical conductor makes electrical contact with the connection device.
  • the triggering section extends in the second position of the adjustment element through an opening in the support leg into the area of the plug-in opening.
  • the support leg thus has an opening through which the triggering section of the adjustment element can reach in order to protrude into the area of the plug-in opening.
  • the triggering section In the second position, the triggering section thus extends into the area of the plug-in opening of the contact element.
  • the triggering section In the first position, on the other hand, the triggering section can be adjusted in such a way that the triggering section does not reach through the opening of the support leg, but is arranged outside the plug-in opening.
  • the triggering section when the adjusting element is in the second position, can also extend past the support leg and, for example, protrude through a lateral opening of the contact element into the area of the plug-in opening.
  • the contacting section with which an electrical conductor is pressed into contact via the spring leg when the electrical conductor is locked in the plug-in opening, forms, for example, a bottom of the contact element, such a lateral opening can be formed in a side wall of the contact element extending perpendicularly to the contacting section and the triggering section can reach into the area of the plug-in opening through the lateral opening if the Adjusting element is in the second position, so that an electrical conductor can act on the trigger portion when plugged into the plug-in opening.
  • a ramp can be formed on the triggering section, onto which the electrical conductor runs when it is inserted into the plug-in opening.
  • the ramp extends obliquely to an insertion direction, in which a conductor is to be inserted into the insertion opening, so that a force deflection for a simplified release of the adjustment element from its latching in the second position is provided via the ramp.
  • the actuating element can be displaced in relation to the contact element and is guided in a sliding manner on the contact element or on a housing enclosing the contact element.
  • the actuating element can thus be shifted between different positions relative to the contact element in order to move the spring element in particular from its initial position in the direction of the release position and thereby enable an electrical conductor to be inserted into the plug-in opening or an electrical conductor located in the plug-in opening out of the plug-in opening to solve.
  • the actuating element has at least one leg, which is guided on a guideway of the contact element or on a housing accommodating the contact element.
  • the actuating element has two legs, each leg being able to be guided on an associated guide track of the contact element, so that the actuating element is guided longitudinally along a (straight) direction of movement to the contact element.
  • the actuating element can thus, for example, run on the contact element and can also be guided to the contact element in cooperation with the spring element.
  • the adjustment element can be pivoted about a pivot axis relative to the contact element.
  • the adjusting element can thus be pivoted between its first position and its second position relative to the contact element in order to move the actuating element, for which purpose the adjusting element can be pivotally mounted on the contact element or on a housing enclosing the contact element.
  • the adjustment element is pivotably mounted on the contact element or on the housing of the connection device enclosing the contact element via at least one leg.
  • the adjusting element has two legs, which receive the actuating element between them, so that the adjusting element encompasses the actuating element on the outside.
  • a guide section can be formed on each leg of the adjustment element, which interacts with a guide element on an associated leg of the actuating element in order to move the actuating element from the initial position in the direction of the release position when the adjusting element is pivoted from the first position into the second position cause.
  • the legs can be connected to one another, for example, via a handle section.
  • the triggering section can be arranged on this handle section and can extend between the legs, for example (viewed along the pivot axis).
  • the triggering section thus extends in the manner of a lug essentially parallel to the legs and, in the second position of the adjustment element, extends into the region of the plug-in opening of the contact element for interaction with an electrical conductor when plugged into the plug-in opening.
  • connection device of the type described can be used in a variety of ways to connect one or more electrical conductors.
  • a connection device can also have a number of plug-in openings, for example each with an associated spring element, so that a number of electrical conductors can be connected to the connection device.

If an electrical conductor 2 with a (stripped) conductor end 20 is to be inserted into the insertion opening 102 in an insertion direction E, the actuating element 13 can be displaced towards the contact element 10 in the direction of movement D parallel to the insertion direction E, as a result of which the active section 133 is inside of the plug-in opening 102 acts on the spring leg 111 and deflects it from its relaxed initial position into the release position shown in FIG.
