Definitions

  • Busbar component for forming an elongated busbar
  • the present invention relates to a busbar component, with the aid of which an elongated busbar can be formed, which is provided in particular for realizing a light strip system.
  • the busbar should be arranged in or on an elongated support rail profile.
  • Support rails with a support rail profile and a busbar held in the support rail profile are known from the prior art and are used, for example, to implement elongated so-called light band systems.
  • a known trunking system is sold by the applicant under the name “TECTON” and is characterized by the fact that lights or other electrical loads can be flexibly positioned on the trunking over the entire length of the system.
  • a busbar is constructed in such a way that it has a line receiving structure consisting of an insulating material which forms a plurality of grooves or channels running in the longitudinal direction. Lines are then positioned in these grooves or channels, the arrangement being such that these lines can be contacted from one contacting direction by contacts of a unit to be connected.
  • a line receiving structure consisting of an insulating material which forms a plurality of grooves or channels running in the longitudinal direction. Lines are then positioned in these grooves or channels, the arrangement being such that these lines can be contacted from one contacting direction by contacts of a unit to be connected.
  • Line receiving structure designed in a special way, whereby a particularly advantageous storage of the lines can be achieved.
  • the line receiving structure is formed by several plastic parts arranged one behind the other, which are manufactured in an injection molding process and joined together at the end.
  • the specialty of these plastic parts is that in
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of offering a possibility of creating busbars in a simple and convenient manner and, in particular, of being able to use them as flexibly as possible in or on a wide variety of mounting rail profiles.
  • individual busbar components are made available which simply have to be connected to one another to form an elongated busbar and also open up the possibility of arranging the ultimately resulting busbar or the individual components in a simple manner on or in a mounting rail profile.
  • the busbar component itself already represents a unit, which on the one hand forms the line receiving structure and on the other hand already with the corresponding lines or wires is equipped.
  • This component can then be connected in the form of a kit in a simple manner with comparable busbar components in order to ultimately form the busbar.
  • the busbar component has an elongated carrier element which is provided for attachment to or in a carrier rail profile and which forms a preferably plate-shaped storage area.
  • line receiving elements which are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction on the storage area of the carrier element and connected to one another, have grooves which are open towards a contacting side, which in the connected state form the channels of the line receiving structure, with wires or lines being arranged in the channels, which are arranged Extend over the length of the busbar component.
  • a busbar component for forming an elongated busbar, the busbar having a plurality of lines running in a longitudinal direction for power supply and / or signal transmission, which are arranged in channels of a line receiving structure made of an insulating material, which are open to a contacting side, wherein the busbar component comprises:
  • an elongated support element which is provided for attachment to or in a support rail profile and forms a preferably plate-shaped storage area
  • the carrier element of the conductor rail component according to the invention therefore now takes on the holding function that was fulfilled by the carrier rail profiles themselves in the TECTON system explained above.
  • This carrier element can be fitted with the line receiving elements and the wires in the factory in the manner according to the invention, so that ultimately a stable busbar component is available, which can be connected in a modular manner with comparable components to form a busbar of any length.
  • This solution is independent of any configurations of the mounting rail profiles and can therefore be used extremely flexibly.
  • all further advantages can be obtained as in the case of the already known system, in particular taking into account the advantageous developments of the invention explained in more detail below.
  • the line receiving elements overlap one another in such a way that the channels of the line receiving structure, with the exception of the contacting side, are closed over the entire length of the busbar component. Even if several shorter line receiving elements are used, which are arranged one behind the other, no gaps can arise in the transition areas of these elements where there is a risk of accidental contact with the wires or lines. This is extremely advantageous insofar as it also makes it possible to use the lines to transmit the normal mains supply voltage, in which case accidental unintentional contact with the lines must be ruled out for safety reasons.
  • the line receiving elements are here preferably formed by plastic parts, in particular by injection molded parts. These can be standardized in large numbers.
  • the two line receiving elements which are arranged on the end regions of the busbar component, are fixed to the latter.
  • line receiving elements located between them are preferably mounted in a floating manner in the longitudinal direction.
  • the possibility is thus opened up that the line receiving elements can move at least slightly relative to one another.
  • the channels are still encased over the entire length of the busbar component - apart from the contact-making side.
  • a particularly simple joining together of comparable busbar components according to the invention is preferably achieved in that the wires or lines protrude beyond the line receiving structure at both end regions of the busbar component. This makes it possible to couple several busbar components to one another in a simple manner by means of appropriate connection measures. It can preferably be provided that on At least one end, an electrical connector piece is already arranged at the factory, which is used to connect the wires or lines to the corresponding wires or lines of a further busbar component.
  • the number of grooves extending in the longitudinal direction for receiving the wires or lines can be selected in accordance with the desired power supply or signal transmission properties of the system. If the most diverse possible contacting possibilities are to be available, a particularly compact arrangement of the lines or wires is required, with provision preferably being made in this Lall to store the wires or lines in at least two different planes. This, ideally, alternately offset arrangement allows a more compact arrangement of the current-carrying lines, with the corresponding requirements regarding the creepage distances to be met despite everything.
  • the carrier element is primarily intended to give the busbar component itself a certain stability. It is therefore preferably provided that this is designed to be profiled.
  • the carrier element is C-shaped in cross-section, with a central limb that forms the storage area, and two side limbs that run along the central limb and are oriented essentially perpendicular to it.
  • These side legs themselves, however, primarily serve to increase the rigidity of the carrier element and, if necessary, to enable it to be arranged on corresponding support rail profiles.
  • the width of the central leg is accordingly preferably significantly greater than the height of the side legs, in particular at least twice as large.
  • the two side legs can in particular also point in a direction that is opposite to the line receiving elements.
  • Ligur 1 the end area of a busbar component according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the end area of a busbar component 1 according to the invention Can be attached to a mounting rail.
  • busbar An essential part of a busbar are lines or wires running in the longitudinal direction that are used for power supply and / or signal transmission. In order to avoid short circuits, the generally non-insulated wires or lines must be stored in a corresponding insulating carrier, although at least then they are accessible for contacting from one direction.
  • a plurality of wires or lines 10 running in the longitudinal direction are accordingly provided, which are held by a line receiving structure 20 made of an insulating material.
  • the line receiving structure 20 forms a plurality of channels 211 and 2U running in the longitudinal direction, in which the lines 10, which are preferably in the form of copper conductors, are received.
  • these channels 211 or 2U and thus the lines 10 arranged therein run in two different planes. Ultimately, this results in the illustrated alternating arrangement of the lines 10.
  • the channels 211 or 2U of the line receiving structure 20 are all open to the same side. It is the contacting side, from which the lines 10 proceed through corresponding contacts to the system consumers to be connected can be contacted.
  • the arrangement of the channels and thus the mounting of the lines 10 depending on how high the number of lines of the busbar system should be.
  • the line receiving structure 20 of an individual busbar component 1 does not consist of a one-piece plastic body, but is made up of several ones arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction
  • FIG. 1 only shows the end region of an individual line receiving element 25.
  • These are, however, essentially of identical design and are arranged one behind the other in order to ultimately form the elongated line receiving structure 20.
  • These are preferably injection-molded plastic parts that can be produced in large numbers and ultimately connected to one another to form the line receiving structure 20, the length of which then corresponds to the length of the busbar component 1.
  • the areas of the line receiving elements 25 to be coupled to one another can be designed in such a way that they are in the above mentioned manner interlock, in spite of everything, however, can migrate to one another within a certain framework, the closed channels being retained in spite of everything. As will be explained in more detail below, this then leads to particular advantages of the conductor rail component 1 ultimately obtained.
  • a stabilizing structure is added to the line receiving structure 20, which is formed by the line receiving elements 25 joined to one another.
  • This is in particular the carrier element provided with the reference numeral 30 in FIG. 1, which, so to speak, represents the backbone of the busbar component 1.
  • the carrier element 30 is preferably formed from metal, for example from sheet metal, and shaped into the configuration shown. In particular, it can be a sheet metal part with a thickness of 0.4 mm, which is pre-painted and punched and bent to the shape shown.
  • this carrier element 30 initially forms an elongated, in the exemplary embodiment shown, plate-shaped storage area 31 on which the line receiving elements 25 are then arranged.
  • the stability of the carrier element 30 is increased in the illustrated embodiment in that it is slightly C-shaped and thus has two webs 32 on both sides of the central bearing area 31, which are oriented essentially at a right angle to the bearing area 31.
  • a further web 33 run in the longitudinal direction, which forms, for example, a small groove running in the longitudinal direction, which is used for fastening or guiding the line receiving elements 25.
  • corresponding projections or latching elements could intervene here in order to improve the mounting of the line receiving elements 25.
  • the line receiving elements have two webs 26 opposite the contacting side, which laterally encompass the carrier element 30. This enables suitable guidance and secure arrangement of the line receiving elements 25 on the carrier element 30.
  • the elongated storage area 31 does not necessarily have to be essentially plate-shaped or flat, as shown in the figures. It is important that the configuration of the storage area 31 enables reliable storage and retention of the line receiving elements 25. Accordingly, a structured, for example ribbed, supporting surface or the like would also be conceivable.
  • a plurality of line receiving elements 25 are then initially arranged one behind the other on the storage area 31 of the carrier element 30. Overall, a stable arrangement then results which enables the lines 10 to be introduced into the grooves 211 and 212 of the line receiving structure 20. The component resulting from this can then be stored, transported and, as described in more detail below, arranged in or on mounting rail profiles in a simple manner.
  • the two line receiving elements 25, which are located at the end regions of the carrier element 30, i.e. the first and the last line receiving element 25, are fixed in the longitudinal direction on the carrier element 30.
  • the line receiving elements 25 lying in between, however, are connected to one another in the longitudinal direction, but are preferably mounted on the carrier element 30 in such a way that they can at least easily migrate in the longitudinal direction.
  • temperature changes can lead to the carrier element 30 and the plastic line receiving elements 25 expanding or contracting to different degrees. Because at least some of the line receiving elements 25 can easily migrate in the longitudinal direction, this effect can be compensated and the occurrence of stresses can be avoided.
  • this measure contributes to the fact that the lines 10 are permanent and be reliably stored in the corresponding channels 211 and 212 of the line receiving structure 20.
  • Another advantage of the solution according to the invention is that in the procedure described above for creating the busbar component 1, the length of the wires 10 can be selected. In particular, there is the possibility of dimensioning the wires 10 in such a way that they protrude slightly beyond the line receiving structure 20 at the end faces. This is necessary in order to enable an electrical connection of two successive busbar components 1, the connection being able to be made in particular with the aid of an electrical connector piece (not shown in detail) into which the exposed end regions of the wires 10 engage accordingly.
  • a corresponding connector piece is already provided at the factory on at least one end face of the busbar component 1, so that when the individual components are joined together to form the busbar, only the busbar components 1 have to be joined together in such a way that the exposed end regions of the wires 10 into the engage on the other busbar component 1 arranged connector piece.
  • the busbar can be created as a whole as part of a simple plug connection.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 show differently designed support rail profiles 50i, 502, 503, whereby it should be made clear that the concept according to the invention can be used universally and it is only necessary that a corresponding mechanical attachment of the carrier elements 1 to the support rail profiles 50 can take place.
  • the two lateral webs 32 of the carrier element 30 could be used for this, which are then, for example, latched or clamped to the corresponding walls or surfaces of the associated carrier rail profile 50.
  • busbar components 1 do not necessarily have to be arranged in a support rail profile 50, but could optionally also be placed on an outside of the profile.
  • the shape of the carrier element 30 is deliberately chosen to be neutral, so that the Busbar components 1 can be combined with a wide variety of mounting rail profiles.
  • the profiling of the carrier elements 30 can also be designed differently in order to offer alternative or different fastening options, for example.
  • the webs 32 of the carrier elements 30 do not point in a direction opposite to the line holding profile 20, as shown, but are bent downwards in the opposite direction, in which case they then additionally form a lateral protection of the line holding profile 20.
  • the rear flat side of the storage area 31 could then be arranged adjacent to corresponding surfaces of a support rail profile 50.
  • the primary function of the webs or side legs 32 is to give the carrier element 30 sufficient stability.
  • the height of these webs 32 is therefore relatively low.
  • the width of the storage area is preferably at least twice as great as the height of the webs 32.
  • the solution according to the invention thus opens up the possibility of creating a power rail in a modular manner, which can thus extend over almost any length and can be flexibly combined with differently designed support rail profiles. It can be provided that the busbar components according to the invention, which can be produced in a highly automated manner, are made available in a few standard lengths, so that in the end essentially any desired total length can be obtained for the trunking system.
