Definitions
- the invention is based on an energy supply strip according to the preamble of the main claim.
- all the electrical modules contained in the housing such as sockets and switches, are connected by means of screw terminals to electrical connection contacts of the modules via a cable which is led through a lateral end cap of the housing.
- This design requires in systems with several adjacent workplaces, e.g. in production lines, a considerable electrical installation effort at the installation site of the workstations, in order to professionally connect all existing power supply strips to a common energy source.
- the arrangement according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the installation work at the installation location of the power supply strips is considerably reduced because adjacent power supply strips are simply connected to one another via connecting cables with plugs.
- a trained specialist is not required for attaching the connecting cables between the energy supply strips, so that overall a substantial simplification and reduction for the energy supply system results when manufacturing the energy supply strips.
- the proposal according to the invention leads to a modular installation system, the individual modules of which can be combined in different configuration stages and can be strung together.
- an end plate carry a further plug connection part for a lighting fixture in addition to the plug connection part for energy supply or transmission, which is preferably connected to a light switch arranged in the housing.
- the embodiment according to the invention is particularly advantageous in the case of energy supply strips which are used both for supplying electrical energy and for supplying liquid or gaseous media.
- the compressed air supply also takes place via a compressed air supply connection provided on the housing, in particular on an end wall element, and that in a further development of the modular principle, a compressed air connection connection connected to the compressed air supply connection is provided for a further compressed air line.
- FIG. 1 shows a partial area of an assembly line with workplaces arranged next to one another
- FIG. 2 slightly enlarged compared to FIG. 1, shows in an exploded view the individual main components of the power supply strips of the workplaces according to FIG. 1.
- An assembly line has adjacent workplaces 10, each of which is provided with an energy supply strip 14 and a lighting fixture 16 above a workbench 12.
- the identical energy supply strips 14 serve to supply electrical energy and compressed air to the workplaces 10 and each have an elongated housing part 18 with a U-shaped cross section, which is closed at the end faces by end plates 20, 22.
- a light switch 26 for the lighting body 16, an automatic circuit breaker 28, two electrical double sockets 30 and four coupling sockets 32 for extracting compressed air are arranged side by side in the housing part 18.
- the contact and operating elements of the individual Modules face the open front of the housing part 18, which after the installation of the individual modules is closed without a gap by panels 34, 36, 38 attached to the parts or by panels 40, 42 subsequently attached as independent parts.
- an electrical plug connector 44 and a compressed air supply connection 46 are fastened to one end plate 20 of the housing part 18 on the input side.
- the plug-in connection part 44 is formed on the outside of the end plate 20 (not visible in the drawing) for the connection of an electrical supply cable.
- the plug connector 44 is connected to contacts of the light switch 26, the circuit breaker 28 and the double sockets 30 via lines (not shown).
- the compressed air supply connector 46 which is also preferably implemented using plug-in technology, is connected to the coupling sockets 32 on the inside via lines (not shown).
- An electrical plug-in connection part 48 is fastened to the second, output-side end plate 22 of the housing part 18 and is connected internally via a line connection which also extends through the housing part and is also not shown, to corresponding contacts of the plug-in connection part 44 on the end plate 20.
- the plug connection part 48 is designed for the connection of a connecting cable leading to an adjacent power supply bar 14.
- the input-side plug connection part 44 can be designed on the outside as a fixed plug and the output-side plug connection part 48 on the outside as a socket. With contact-protected embedding of the contacts and corresponding training of the connecting and connecting cables, both plug connection parts 44 and 48 could also be designed as identical parts.
- the end plate 22 carries a socket 50 for the connection of the lighting body 16, which is connected on the inside to contacts of the plug connection part 48 and the light switch 26. Furthermore, a further compressed air connection piece 52 is provided on the end plate 22, which is connected on the inside to the compressed air connection between the compressed air supply piece 46 and the coupling sockets 32.
- the adjacent power supply strips 14 are connected to one another via electrical connecting cables 54 (FIG. 1) and compressed air lines not visible in the drawing, and the power supply strip 14 closest to the external supply connections is used as the only input side connected to the external connections via a connection cable 56 and a compressed air connection line 58.
- the power supply bars 14 connected in series form, together with the connecting cables 54 and the compressed air connections, a manifold system leading to all workplaces 10, so that separate lines to be installed are not required for this purpose.
