Description

Distribution box.

The invention relates to a box of distribution with a piece of box intended to be introduced in a  wall niche, whose interior space is divided by a separation wall in various sections that can be covered by separated.

Distribution boxes of this type, in which a box section is provided with a lid that can be sealed and is only accessible to the company that supplies the current while the remaining interior space of the box contains the distribution devices accessible to the power socket

The present invention is based on the objective of create a new distribution box of the type mentioned at principle with an improved use of interior space.

The distribution box according to the invention which achieve this objective is characterized because the separation wall It is configured to support a terminal strip for current conductors

Advantageously, the invention allows take advantage of the interior space obtained by the separation wall,  also, to accommodate terminal strips, in which the wall of Separation performs a double function.

An insulating housing of the terminal strip it can be joined in a releasable or non-releasable way with the wall of separation, in which, in the second case, it should be thought, especially, in a one-piece union of the housing with the separation wall composed of an insulating material.

While the terminal strip may be arranged directly on the floor of the box or at different distances from the floor of the box, in the embodiment preferred of the invention is arranged at the edge of the wall of separate separation from the floor of the box. In this position, all the separation wall thickness is available as Mounting space for terminal strip. Besides, the terminal strip is in the position more easily accessible for wiring work.

Conveniently, between the wall of separation and the terminal strip housing can be formed a drag joint so that it can be released.

In an embodiment of the invention Especially preferred, the terminal strip on the edge free separation wall spaced from the floor of the box it can be introduced into the separation wall, in which, by For example, a hook element connected to the strip housing of terminals wraps the edge of the separation wall. So same, a protrusion of lace in the hook element, in the housing and / or in the separation wall can fit into a counter support on the separation wall, on the hook element or in the housing.

In another advantageous configuration of the invention, the separation wall is doubly angled at its end separated from the floor of the box to form a seat for the terminal strip. At an angle perpendicular to the wall of remaining gap may be formed a projection and / or a depression, which is adjusted to corresponding slits or projections on the terminal strip housing, so that the terminal strip is secured against travel in its seat parallel to the mentioned angle.

The separation wall can be joined together  releasable or not with the box part of the distribution box in which, in the latter case, must be especially thought of in a union one piece. For a releasable joint in the box part is formed at least one introduction pocket to accommodate the wall  from separation.

The invention is explained in detail by a exemplary embodiment and the accompanying drawings referring to this embodiment example. Shows:

Fig. 1 a perspective view of a box of distribution according to the invention without cover,

Fig. 2 a partial box representation of distribution of Fig. 1 explaining the assembly of a wall of separation,

Fig. 3 a partial representation of the box distribution of Fig. 1 with separation wall removed, and

Fig. 4 a sectional view along the line of I-I section of Fig. 1.

One piece of box 1 shaped like a box distribution has a floor wall 2 and four walls lateral 3. From the floor wall 2 extend walls of separation 4 to 6, by which the interior space of the box piece 1 in three sections 7 to 9.

Each section 7 to 9 can close by itself by a cover not shown, in which the cover for section 7 It can be sealed. Section 7 must be accessible only to the Supply company that supplies the current.

While the separation walls 4 and 5 are formed in one piece on the floor wall 2 of the piece of box 1, in the case of the separation wall 6 it is a detachable piece, which can be introduced perpendicular to the floor wall 2 in the box piece 1. At the ends Longitudinal separation walls are formed pockets of introduction 10 and 11, in which loops 12 and 13 fit protrude laterally, of which the loop 12 is formed on one of the side walls 3 and the loop 13 on the wall of separation 4. By means of bushing pieces 14 and 15 formed in the separation wall 6 the separation wall 6 can be screwed with the box piece 1. Instead of cap pieces, too, devices could be provided for quick wall fixation from separation.

Reference number 29 refers to a zone of the separation wall 6, which is provided with weak points to break openings for the passage of conductors.

A pair of 30 slots cut open towards up on the separation wall 6 allow to enter the wall separating parts with grooves in section according to guides connection, for example, a support for a clamp.

At its end separated from the floor wall 2, the separation wall 6 is doubly angled. Through a angled fin 18 perpendicular to the bottom of the wall of separation 6 and an angled fin 19 parallel to this part of the separation wall a seat 16 is formed for the housing of terminal strip modules. The figures show a terminal strip module 17, which has a housing 21 insulating.

In slits 20 on angled fin 18 fit protrusions not visible in the shapes formed corresponding to the housing 21 of the power strip module terminals 17.

Two hook elements 22 and 23 attached to one single piece with the housing 21 overlap the free edge 24 of the fin angled 19 separated from the floor wall. As it follows, especially, of Fig. 4 the free end is configured in hook-shaped section.

The hook elements 22, 23 have two belt loops 25 arranged at a distance from each other and a fin of hook 26 that joins the loops, which holds the angled wing 19.

In the housing 21 it is formed, between the loops 25 of the hook elements 22, 23 by means of cut-outs in  the wall of the housing, a tongue 27 that can be folded from Elastic shape with a lace protrusion 28.

For fixing, the power strip module terminals 17 is placed on seat 16, in which the protrusions not visible in the housing 21 fit into the slits 20 at the angled fin 18, and the free edge 24 of the angled fin 19 is wrapped by hook elements 22, 23. The protrusion lace 28 of the elastic tongue 27 fits on the edge 24 of the angled fin 19 configured as a hook.

For opening, tongue 27 bends withdrawing from angled fin 19 and the module of strips of terminals 17 is removed from its seat 16.

The terminal strip module 17 attached to the  separation wall 6 is easily accessible and requires only little space inside the distribution box.
