Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor, which has a current bar, a tension bracket and a compression spring, the tension bracket having two clamping legs arranged parallel to one another and a connecting web connecting the two clamping legs to one another, the clamping legs each having a feed-through opening through which the current bar is passed and through which the conductor to be connected is guided in a clamping position in such a way that the conductor is clamped against the current bar, and wherein the compression spring is arranged between the connecting web of the tension bracket and the current bar and when the tension bracket is moved from the clamping position to an open position is compressible.
  • the invention further relates to a connection terminal which has an insulating material housing and at least one connection arrangement designed in this way and arranged in the insulating material housing.
  • connection terminals with such a connection arrangement are often used as high-current terminals in which conductors with a relatively large cross section of preferably 35 mm 2 to 150 mm 2 can be connected.
  • Such connection arrangements have tension bracket connections which are formed from a U-shaped tension bracket and a compression spring.
  • the compression spring is arranged in the tension yoke in such a way that it pulls the lower end of the tension yoke against the underside of a current bar, so that an electrical conductor introduced there through a passage opening in the clamping leg of the tension yoke against the underside of the tension yoke through the openings in the clamping legs extending current bar is clamped.
  • Such a connection terminal is for example from EP 1 798 819 B1 known.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a connection arrangement and a connection terminal in which the effort for connecting a conductor can be reduced for a user.
  • connection arrangement is characterized in that the tension yoke has at least one clamping lug projecting into a clamping space formed between the two clamping legs, which forms an insertion bevel for inserting the conductor to be connected into the clamping space and by means of which the conductor is in the clamping position against the current bar is clamped.
  • the tension bracket now has a clamping strap which protrudes into a clamping space or free space formed between the two clamping legs of the tension bracket such that it can form an insertion bevel for a conductor to be connected when the conductor is inserted into the terminal space.
  • the clamping lug preferably protrudes obliquely or at an angle into the clamping space, in that the clamping lug is angled or arranged obliquely relative to the clamping legs.
  • the conductor can exert pressure on the clamping lug and thus on the tension bracket when it is inserted into the clamping space, whereby the tension bracket can move automatically into an open position.
  • the tension bracket and thus the entire connection arrangement can thus be designed to be directly pluggable so that a conductor can be connected without the aid of an additional tool to move the tension bracket into the open position.
  • the clamping lug is designed in such a way that, in addition to being an insertion aid, it can also enable the conductor inserted into the terminal space to be clamped against the current bar, in that the conductor inserted into the terminal space can be pressed against the current bar by means of the clamping lug.
  • the clamping lug pressing against the connected conductor forms a kind of pull-out stop for the conductor, so that the conductor cannot be pulled out of the terminal area unintentionally, as the clamping lug can become wedged with the connected conductor.
  • the at least one clamping lug protrudes preferably at an angle of 10 ° ⁇ 70 °, particularly preferably at an angle of 30 ° ⁇ 50 °, to a Longitudinal extension of the clamping legs or to a longitudinal extension of one of the clamping legs into the clamping space.
  • the clamping lug thus preferably extends into the clamping space at an angle to a longitudinal extension of the clamping legs.
  • the clamping tab is preferably arranged on one of the two clamping legs of the tension bracket.
  • the clamping strap thus preferably extends into the clamping space starting from one of the clamping legs.
  • the clamping lug is preferably arranged on the clamping leg through whose lead-through opening the conductor to be connected is first inserted in the insertion direction and which is thus arranged closer to the conductor insertion opening of an insulating material housing of a connection terminal.
  • the at least one clamping lug is preferably arranged as close as possible to a feed-through opening of a clamping leg in order to be able to facilitate the introduction of the conductor to be connected.
  • the at least one clamping lug can preferably extend into the clamping space starting from an edge region delimiting the feed-through opening of one of the two clamping legs.
  • the edge area of the lead-through opening preferably forms a lower edge of the lead-through opening which is directed in the direction of the current bar.
  • the at least one clamping lug can be mounted so that it can pivot relative to the two clamping legs.
  • the clamping lug can be pivoted further into the clamping space when a conductor is inserted into the clamping space, in order to facilitate the insertion of a conductor.
  • the pivoting arrangement of the clamping lug enables self-locking, since when the conductor is pulled out of the terminal space, the swiveling means that the clamping lug can be pressed more strongly against the conductor and thus wedged more strongly with the conductor, so that an unintentional Pulling out the conductor can be prevented particularly safely.
  • the tension bracket can, for example, have an axis of rotation on which the at least one clamping strap can be pivotably mounted.
  • the axis of rotation can be designed as an axle body which can preferably extend transversely to the longitudinal extent of one of the clamping legs.
  • the axis of rotation can preferably extend between two opposite edge regions delimiting a feed-through opening of a clamping leg.
  • the clamping lug can have an opening through which the axis of rotation can be passed so that the axis of rotation can be passed through the clamping lug.
  • the tension bracket can preferably have a limit stop for limiting the pivoting movement of the at least one clamping lug.
  • the limit stop is preferably designed in such a way that it can prevent the clamping lug from pivoting too far into the clamping space.
  • connection terminal which has an insulating material housing and at least one connection arrangement which is arranged in the insulating material housing and which can be designed and developed as described above.
  • connection terminal can have one or more such connection arrangements. If the connection terminal has two such connection arrangements, the connection terminal can, for example, form a series terminal which can be snapped onto a mounting rail.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically a connection terminal 200 with an insulating material housing 210, within which two connection arrangements 100 for connecting an electrical conductor 300 are arranged.
  • the connection terminal 200 is designed here in the form of a series terminal which can be arranged on a support rail.
  • Two conductor entry openings 211 are formed in the insulating material housing 210, via which a conductor 300 to be connected can be guided into the insulating material housing 210 to the respective connection arrangement 100.
  • connection arrangements 100 each have a current bar 110, which here are connected to one another in one piece.
  • connection arrangements 100 each have a tension bracket 111 and a compression spring 112, the tension bracket 111 forming a tension bracket connection together with the compression spring 112.
  • the tension bracket 111 has two clamping legs 113, 114 arranged parallel to one another.
  • the two clamping legs 113, 114 are connected to one another at their upper end via a connecting web 115. Due to the two clamping legs 113, 114 and the connecting web 115, the tension bracket 111 has a U-shape.
  • a feed-through opening 116, 117 is formed on each of the two clamping legs 113, 114, as for example in FIG Fig. 4 can be seen.
  • the current bar 110 is passed through the lead-through openings 116, 117 so that the current bar 110 protrudes through the tension bracket 111.
  • a Conductor 300 to be connected is passed through the two feed-through openings 116, 117 of the clamping legs 113, 114, as in FIG Fig. 2 and 3 can be seen.
  • the tension bracket 111 can sit with its clamping legs 113, 114 on the current bar 110.
  • the tension bracket 111 is arranged to be movable or displaceable relative to the current bar 110.
  • the direction of movement B of the tension bracket 111 is formed transversely to the direction of insertion E of a conductor 300 into the connection arrangement 100 or into the connection terminal 200.
  • the tension bracket 111 can be operated using a tool 400, which can be inserted into the insulating housing 210 via an opening 212 on the insulating material housing 210 in order to be able to actuate the tension bracket 111 by applying a compressive force to the connecting web 115 of the tension bracket 111.
  • the tool 400 can be a screwdriver, for example.
  • the compression spring 112 is designed in the form of a spiral spring.
  • the compression spring 112 is arranged between the connecting web 115 of the tension bracket 111 and the current bar 110. In order to release a connected conductor 300, the compression spring 112 is compressed when the tension bracket 111 is moved from the clamping position into the open position. This is done by applying a compressive force by means of the tool 400 to the tension bracket 111 and thus to the compression spring 112.
  • the clamping lug 118 forms an insertion bevel for introducing the conductor 300 to be connected into the clamping space 119, along which the conductor 300 to be connected can slide and thereby exert a compressive force on the clamping lug 118 and thus on the tension bracket 111, whereby the tension bracket 111 is moved in this way It is possible that the lead-through openings 116, 117 are released and the conductor 300 to be connected can thereby be passed through the lead-through openings 116, 117. This enables a conductor 300 to be plugged in directly, so that a conductor 300 can be connected without tools.
  • the clamping tab 118 is, as in FIG Fig. 2 is shown, arranged at an angle of 10 ° ⁇ 70 ° to the longitudinal extension L of the clamping legs 113, 114.
  • the clamping strap 118 is arranged approximately at an angle ⁇ of approximately 45 ° to the longitudinal extension L of the clamping legs 113, 114.
  • the clamping lug 118 has a clamping edge 120, by means of which the conductor 300 is clamped in the clamping position against the current bar 110, as in FIG Fig. 3 can be seen.
  • the clamping lug 118 is arranged on one of the two clamping legs 113, 114, the clamping lug 118 here being arranged on the clamping leg 113 which is positioned closer to the respective conductor insertion opening 211. Starting from the respective clamping leg 113, the clamping lug 118 is directed in the direction of the current bar 110, so that the clamping lug 118 points in the direction of the current bar 110. The clamping edge 120 on the clamping lug 118 is also directed in the direction of the current bar 110.
  • the clamping strap 118 extends approximately as far as a center of the clamping space 119 between the two clamping legs 113, 114.
  • the clamping strap 118 can extend into the clamping space 119 starting from an edge region delimiting the feed-through opening 116, 117 of one of the two clamping legs 113, 114.
  • the edge region can form a lower edge of the feed-through opening 116, 117, which points in the direction of the current bar 110.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment in which the clamping lug 118 is mounted such that it can pivot relative to the two clamping legs 113, 114.
  • the tension bracket 111 has an axis of rotation 121 on which the clamping lug 118 is mounted such that it can pivot.
  • the axis of rotation 121 is designed as an axle body which extends transversely to the longitudinal extension L of the clamping legs 113, 114.
  • the axis of rotation 121 extends between two opposite edge regions 122, 123 delimiting the feed-through opening 116, 117 of a clamping leg 113, 114.
  • the clamping lug 118 is pivoted further counterclockwise into the clamping space 119 in order to be able to insert the conductor 300 into the clamping space 119.
  • the pivoting arrangement of the clamping lug 118 enables self-locking, since when the conductor 300 is pulled out of the clamping space 119, the clamping lug 118 is pivoted clockwise due to the possibility of pivoting and is thus pressed and wedged all the more strongly against the conductor 300 , whereby an unintentional pulling out of the conductor 300 can be prevented particularly reliably.
  • the tension bracket 111 can have a limit stop.
  • the limit stop can prevent the clamping lug 118 from pivoting too far into the clamping space 119 when the conductor 300 is connected.
  • the limit stop can be arranged below the clamping lug 118 on one of the clamping legs 113, 114. The limit stop can also protrude into the clamping space 119.
