Definitions

  • the invention relates to a junction box for connecting any cable cores of a flat cable in any arrangement with any terminals of a connection.
  • DE 8013692 U1 relates to a device for preparing a mechanical and electrical connection between multi-conductor flat cables. With the aid of the device described there, one or more contact pins are pushed through guide holes in a plate, which cause the correct perforations to connect two different cores of flat cables.
  • One aspect of the invention relates to a junction box for connecting a multi-core flat cable to a plurality of terminals of a connection.
  • the order of the one to three phase conductors, the protective conductor and the neutral conductor is different in the flat cable and in the cable to be connected to the flat cable via the junction box.
  • the junction box creates the possibility here to connect wires with the same assignment, for example the respective phase conductor A (BC) of a flat cable to the same respective phase conductor (s) A (BC) of a cable coupled to the connection and the neutral conductor of the flat cable to the neutral conductor of the cable coupled to the connection and the protective conductor of the flat cable to the protective conductor of the cable coupled to the connection.
  • the cable coupled to the connection can be, for example, a second flat cable or also a round cable.
  • the junction box also makes it possible, for example, to connect the flat cable with a cable, with the order and assignment of data conductors being different. If the wires in the first flat cable are assigned signals in the following order: wire 1: signal 1, wire 2: signal 2, wire 3: signal 3 etc., and in the second cable coupled to the connection the assignment: wire 1: signal 3, wire 2: signal 1, wire 3: signal 2 is present, the wire of the first flat cable with assignment signal 1 (here: wire 1) to the respective wire of the second cable with assignment signal 1 (here: wire 2 ), as well as the wire with assignment of signal 2 in the first flat cable (here: wire 2) to the wire with assignment of signal 2 (here: wire 3), etc.
  • junction box is therefore able to connect any wires of the flat cable to any terminals of the connection of the junction box.
  • the junction box comprises a support surface for a multi-core flat cable to be contacted, as well as several contact blades for one-sided, stripping-free contacting of several cores of the flat cable.
  • the junction box includes, for example, an inlet for the flat cable and can also include an outlet for this flat cable so that the flat cable can be guided through the junction box. Likewise, however, the junction box can only include one entry for the flat cable, so that the flat cable ends in the junction box.
  • the support surface for the flat cable is adapted, for example, to the surface contour of the flat cable.
  • the contact blades pierce, for example, the jacket of the flat cable resting on this support surface by being driven through the jacket into the respective cable cores in the direction of the support surface.
  • a contact blade is typically provided for contacting a wire of the flat cable.
  • the junction box also includes several terminals of a connector.
  • the connection here can be a socket or a plug, corresponding to connections for cables which are to be connected to the flat cable tapped via the connection socket.
  • the terminals of this connection typically have such a shape that round cables or flat cables, for example, can be connected to it.
  • Terminal rails are attached to the terminals.
  • the terminals which act as connecting pieces, are manufactured in one piece with the terminal rails - the terminals and the terminal rails connected to them are a single component.
  • the terminal rails are typically located inside the junction box, which protects it from dust and moisture.
  • the terminals are also protected from dust and moisture, for example, by being enclosed by a socket attachment / plug attachment for the second flat cable.
  • the entire junction box is designed, for example, in such a way that it is impervious to water or dust of class IP20, IP40 or IP65 or IP68.
  • Each of the terminal rails has at least one hole, a contact pin being inserted through a respective hole of a terminal rail.
  • the holes in the terminal rails are drilled, for example, perpendicular to the direction in which the terminal rails extend inside the junction box.
  • the holes of a terminal rail are arranged, for example, one behind the other in the terminal rail. A contact pin can be inserted through each of these holes provided one behind the other.
  • a contact pin is provided for a wire-to-terminal contact. If a connection is to have five terminals, for example, the one belonging to the terminal has Terminal rail, for example, has five holes arranged one behind the other, for a possible connection to two different wires of the flat cable it would accordingly only be two holes arranged one behind the other.
  • the junction box can be constructed in such a way that the positioning of the contact pins in the holes of the terminal rails is fixed, that is, certain wires of the flat cable are firmly connected to certain terminals through the junction box.
  • the socket can also be manufactured in such a way that by pulling out a part of the junction box which carries the terminal elements, for example an insert with insert insulating body, the contact pins become accessible and the positioning of the contact pins in the holes of the terminal rails can be changed so that in each case other cable cores of the flat cable can be connected to the respective terminals.
  • the junction box includes cross connectors.
  • the cross connectors establish the electrical connection between the contact pins and the contact blades.
  • the cross connectors are typically made of metal.
  • the cross connectors are typically arranged at right angles to the course of the cable cores of the flat cable to be contacted or tapped in the junction box and thus extend transversely over all the cable cores of this flat cable.
  • the holes in the first row of holes are arranged, for example, in such a way that a contact knife is placed exactly over a cable core to be contacted - the distances between the holes in the first row of holes correspond to the distances between the wires in the flat cable to be contacted.
  • the cross connectors have, for example, a row with a plurality of first bores.
  • contact blades and cross connectors can be firmly connected to one another or configured in one piece, so that it is firmly specified which cross connector is connected to which cable core by means of the contact blade.
  • the cross connectors have a row with a plurality of second bores in which the contact pins extending from the terminal rails are received.
  • a contact pin is thus for example one end in a hole in a terminal rail and the other end in a bore of a cross connector and thus electrically connects the terminal rail and the cross connector to one another.
  • each terminal rail comprises a row with a plurality of holes arranged one behind the other, the contact pins extending from a hole in a clamping rail to a bore in a cross connector in order to establish the electrical connection of a specific terminal rail to a specific cross connector. This results in an electrical connection between the terminal belonging to the terminal rail and the cable core tapped by the contact blade of the cross connector, as described above.
  • the junction box comprises an insertable insulating body arranged between the cross connectors and the terminal rails.
  • the insertable insulating body serves the purpose of electrically isolating the cross connectors and the terminal rails or the terminals apart from their intended electrical connection via the contact pins. Thus, short circuits between two or more wires of the flat cable are over which prevents cross connectors or terminals.
  • the slide-in insulating body is made of plastic, for example.
  • the cross connectors are attached to the support surface for the side of the insertable insulating body facing the flat cable to be contacted or tapped, and the terminal rails are attached to the opposite side of the insertable insulating body.
  • the cross connectors are clamped, for example, in recesses arranged one behind the other in rows on the underside of the slide-in insulating body, while the terminal rails are clamped in recesses also arranged one behind the other in rows on the upper side of the slide-in insulating body.
  • the underside of the slide-in insulating body is understood to be that side which, in the junction box, is opposite the support surface for the flat cable to be contacted or tapped.
  • the insertable insulating body is only provided with holes at those positions at which contact pins are pushed through from the terminal elements through the insulating body to the cross connectors.
  • the positioning of the contact pins in the holes of the terminal connector and the bores of the cross connector is specified by this hole coding on the insert insulator.
  • the hole coding thus defines which wires of the flat cable to be contacted or tapped are connected to which terminal by the inserted contact pins. Since the insert insulator has holes only at these desired connection points, a contact pin can only be inserted at these points through a hole in the terminal rail belonging to the terminal, through the hole in the insert insulator into a hole in the desired cross connector. This prevents the terminal from being connected to a wrong cross connector by an incorrectly inserted contact pin and thus to a wrong cable core of the flat cable.
  • the contact pins are individually inserted from the holes in the terminal rail through the holes in the insertable insulating body and into the holes in the cross connectors.
  • the insertable insulating body is likewise provided with a hole for each hole in a terminal rail, in order nevertheless to keep the connection of a terminal to a cable core in a freely selectable manner.
  • the insertable insulating body is provided with contact pins which are firmly inserted at certain positions and which establish an electrical connection between certain clamping rails and certain cross-connectors.
  • This configuration eliminates the effort of inserting each contact pin individually through the holes of a terminal rail / insertable insulating body / cross connector - the contact pins protrude from the insert insulating body on both sides, for example at the one for establishing an electrical connection between the cross connector and the terminal rail.
  • the terminal rails and the cross connectors are then inserted, for example, into receptacles on the two sides of the insulating body in such a way that they receive the upper or lower ends in the corresponding holes or bores of the terminal rails or cross connectors.
  • the junction box is suitable for connecting a flat cable with five wires to five specific terminals of the connection.
  • Three of the wires of the tapped flat cable are, for example, phase conductors, one wire is, for example, a neutral conductor and another wire is, for example, a protective conductor.
  • An example here would be a connection of a first five-core flat cable to a second flat cable via the junction box, the assignment of the cable cores of the first flat cable and the second flat cable being different.
  • five contact blades, five cross connectors, five terminal bars and associated terminals and five contact pins are provided to connect the corresponding phase conductors, neutral conductors and protective conductors of the flat cable to the terminals for the corresponding phase conductors, neutral conductors and protective conductors of any cable to be connected to the junction box or in the example above of the second flat cable.
  • the cross connectors are equipped with five bores to accommodate five contact pins, which are each inserted through five holes in the terminal rails arranged one behind the other, through five holes in the insertable insulating body and end in the holes in the cross connector (here, for example, in the second row of Bores of the cross connector).
  • a five-wire first flat cable is tapped by means of five cross connectors and plugged-in contact blades
  • only three terminals and associated terminal rails with holes can be provided in one embodiment, whereby a connection from a five-wire flat cable to three terminals of the connection can be established by means of the junction box.
  • a connection can be made from the first flat cable to a second three-core flat cable, which is coupled to the connector, or a connection from a three-core flat cable to a three-core round cable.
  • the junction box is suitable for connecting two data conductors of the flat cable in addition to the five wires of the first and second flat cable, with contact blades, cross connectors, terminal connectors and contact pins being provided to connect the corresponding data conductors of the first flat cable to the corresponding terminals for the To transmit data conductor of the second flat cable.
  • the junction box can be designed in such a way that it can be used to establish a connection between a line according to the KNX standard and a DALI ® light control.
  • the input can be a KNX system (first flat cable optionally with data conductors) and the output a DALI ® system (second flat cable optionally with data conductors) or vice versa.
  • DALI ® is only intended to serve as an example for any general bus system; connections to other bus systems are conceivable and possible.
  • an electronic converter can be present inside the junction box.
  • the electronic converter converts the data signals supplied by the tapped flat cable into the data signals to be applied to the terminals.
  • the converter can be arranged in an intermediate level of the junction box and receive signals from contact blades or cross connectors at an input, while it outputs the signals already converted to the specific format at an output to the contact pins connected to the terminals or, for example, directly to the terminal rails Terminals.
  • the contact pins are firmly anchored in an electrically insulating pin plate so that the arrangement of the contact pins of the desired connection of the wires Flat cable to the terminals and the electrical contact between the contact blades and the terminal rails is made by pressing the pin plate onto the terminal rails, the contact pins being driven through the holes of the terminal rail into the holes of the cross connector during the pressing.
  • a slide-in insulating body is also provided between the cross connectors and the terminal rails in order to electrically separate them apart from the contact via the contact pins.
  • the contact pins are pressed in one jerk directly through the holes in the terminal rails, the insulating body and the cross-connectors in order to connect the terminals to the desired cores of the flat cable.
  • the coding of the contact pins to establish this connection is thus directly determined by the arrangement of the contact pins on the pin plate.
  • the contact pins protrude, for example, on one side from the insulated pin plate.
  • the junction box can have a lever element with which, for example, the insulating pin plate can be pressed in the direction of the terminal rails and at the same time the entire insert, together with the contact blades protruding in the direction of the flat cable, can be pressed against the flat cable to be contacted or tapped.
  • the terminals belong, as mentioned above, to a connection which is a connection for a round cable or for a flat cable.
  • This round or flat cable can serve as a connection line, that is to say it can be fed via the flat cable tapped from the junction box or feed this flat cable.
  • the round or flat cable coupled to the connection can, however, also serve as a feed line and feed the flat cable tapped from the junction box.
  • the connection can be used as a plug insert or also be designed as a socket insert. If the terminals are part of a connector system, the terminals are designed as connector pins in this case.
  • the terminals are arranged at a right angle to the flat cable resting on the support surface, it being possible in this way to create a connection between two flat cables arranged perpendicular to one another.
  • the terminal rails also extend at right angles to the direction of extension of the flat cable.
  • the contact pins can be connected directly to the contact blades or manufactured in one piece with them.
  • each contact bar can be electrically connected to any core of the flat cable via one of the holes.
  • the tapping can, as mentioned above, take place via separate contact blades, which are then electrically connected to the contact pins, or the contact pins can have a contact blade at their end passed through the holes in the terminal rails, so that a contact blade and the contact pin connected to it form one component .
