Definitions
- Connection rail made of profiled semi-finished products, for electrical devices and apparatus, for different nominal currents
- the invention relates to connecting rails made from profiled semi-finished products for connecting the electrical components of electrical devices and apparatus to an external circuit, the connecting rails extending through window openings in the device or apparatus wall and being fixed in the housing by fastening means.
- a system-side supply rail or another suitable connecting element for the energy supply can be connected to the part of a connecting rail that leads outward from the housing.
- the connecting rail is fixedly arranged in the insulating wall body of a device or apparatus, which is generally realized with the aid of lead-through openings and fastening elements.
- connection rails which can preferably be used for low-voltage circuit breakers, must continue to be designed in such a way that they can be produced efficiently and are suitable for performing certain functions. These functions are: current carrying capacity, heat dissipation, a surface for connecting supply rails and the absorption and transmission of static and dynamic forces. So it is a strong and dynamic place. In addition, it should be possible to accommodate connection rails for different currents in a uniform housing with uniform through openings.
- the fastening means for the connecting rail are screws which extend through openings arranged transversely to the longitudinal axis of the connecting rails and for the reception of which a nut thread is generally provided in the wall of the corresponding housing. For reasons of mechanical strength, metallic insert nuts or press-in nuts are used for this in a housing consisting of an insulating material.
- connecting rails which are sawn off from a profile material with one or more projections, in such a way that the connecting rails are inserted through a hole and the projection or projections of the profile material as stops serve the connection rail on the switch housing and thus form the force transfer of the switching forces to the housing (DE 196 43 607 AI).
- This connecting rail will inserted from the inside through the through opening of the housing wall and supported on the rear wall of the housing by means of a projection.
- special profiles are used which have a one-piece molded strip, from which pieces are then cut off, which form the connecting rail.
- connection rails of different thicknesses depending on the nominal current.
- These connecting rails are also made from profiles by sawing.
- the housing has uniform cutouts for the connection rails, which are each designed for the largest nominal current.
- Plastic spacers that fill the gaps are used for thinner connecting rails with smaller nominal currents.
- the assembly of the spacers has the disadvantage of additional costs for these parts as well as higher assembly costs and they form a source of error when the current paths are installed by the customer.
- the connecting rails are made of solid material, regardless of the other manufacturing technology. This means that the rails also have different cross sections for different current strengths and thus different external dimensions; a disadvantage that has already been dealt with above.
- the current carrying capacity is regulated by means of the wall thickness of the hollow rail, which forms the conductive, current carrying cross section. This means that there is a larger inner cavity at lower currents due to small wall thicknesses, or a smaller inner cavity at higher current intensities due to thicker wall thicknesses, which can lead to a massive design without a cavity at the highest rated current.
- the through openings in the respective device and apparatus housings are designed for the external dimensions required for this highest rated current.
- the production of such hollow profiles from some materials that are preferably used for the production of such connecting rails is associated with considerable difficulties.
- connection rails inserted through the inside of the switch rear wall are shown, which have a gag-like contour. They are attached to the back of the switch by means of screws and the U-shape with a wide base and the additional guidance of the U-legs in the back of the switch only serve to prevent the contact from tipping over.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to design connecting rails in such a way that they can also be used at different nominal current values without additional spacers in device and apparatus housings with uniform through-openings and the problems in the production of hollow semi-finished profiles are avoided.
- a connecting rail made of profiled semi-finished products, for electrical devices and Apparatus, for different nominal currents, for connecting the electrical components of electrical devices and apparatuses to an external circuit
- the connecting rails extending through window openings in the device or apparatus wall and being fixed in the housing by fastening means, which are released from a Full profile exists, and is provided with first contact surfaces and second contact surfaces for support in the window opening of the rear wall of the housing, the second contact surfaces each having an extension to the outer circuit and that depending on the use as the upper or lower connecting rail of a low-voltage circuit breaker either an approach to Attachment of the flexible conductor cables to the movable switch contacts or an approach to attach the fixed switch contacts is provided.
- the two extensions of the second contact surfaces are aligned parallel to one another, and are preferably designed as insertion contacts for stationary mating contacts. This results in a fork-like configuration.
- the first and the second contact surfaces are designed so that, regardless of the current-dependent material thickness of the full profile, they are always the same distances apart for all current strengths, which correspond to the uniform dimensions of the window openings in the rear wall of the housing and those of the counter-contacts.
- the first and the second contact surfaces advantageously extend from the full profile on both sides. However, it can also be expedient for the first and second contact surfaces to extend from the full profile only to one side.
- the upper connecting rail may be more favorable for the upper connecting rail to fasten the fixed switch contact if it is designed with contact surfaces that only extend to one side, since in this case the approach for the fixed the contact is easier to attach.
- the lower connecting rail it is advantageous for the lower connecting rail if it is provided with contact surfaces which extend on both sides. Holes required for a permanent connection of the device to further current conductors are appropriately punched.

- the contact surfaces 13 and 15 on the underside of the upper connecting rail 3 are an integral part of the lower surface of the upper connecting rail 3.
- An attachment 23 serves to fasten the fixed switching contact 5.
- the first contact surfaces 12, 13 and the second contact surfaces 14, 15 are designed in such a way that, regardless of the material thickness of the full profile 11, they always have the same distances from one another for all current intensities, which correspond to the uniform dimensions of the window openings 21, 22 in the rear wall 2 of the housing and those of the stationary counter-contacts.
- the extension 20 serves to axially lock the upper connecting rail 3 on the switch housing.
- FIG. 3 shows a possible advantageous embodiment of a lower connecting bar 4 according to the present invention in a side view.
- the same parts with the same functions are designated with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2.
