Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Command or signaling devices are already well known.
- Moeller information leaflet (“Command and signaling devices RMQ 16 and RMQ 22, selection aid", AH 116-006 D 9/98) describes generic devices.
- the invention has for its object to provide an electrical arrangement with at least two mechanically connectable housings, which ensures simplified disassembly of the connectable housing.
- the generic command and / or signaling device hereinafter only called the command device for the sake of simplicity, has a coupling module, for example for connection to a bus system.
- the coupling module comprises a housing which has mechanical connecting means on its side facing the control device.
- the coupling module can be detachably connected to the control device via latching means, at least two fixed rear grips being provided on one side of the coupling module housing and at least one latching arm designed on the opposite side being provided on its opposite side.
- the locking arm advantageously has a slot-shaped receptacle for a screwdriver. By engaging in this receptacle, the locking arm together with the locking projections can be moved and the functional elements can all be released from the locking connection at once.
- Figure 1 the electrical arrangement according to the invention in a perspective view
- FIG. 2 the arrangement according to FIG. 1 with a functional element without a side cover
- FIG. 3 the coupling module from FIG. 1 in a perspective view
- FIG. 4 the arrangement according to FIG. 1 in a further perspective view with a separate command and signaling device and coupling module.
- the electrical arrangement according to the invention essentially comprises a command and / or signaling device 2 and a coupling module 4 detachably connected to it.
- Functional elements 8 are, for example, a break contact element for separating the circuit, a make contact element for remote reporting of a triggered signal and a Illuminated element for tripped message attached on site.
- the combination of individual functional elements 8 and the corresponding combination of an associated functional element 6 can be freely selected depending on the desired function.
- the functional elements 8 are preferably of the same design, at least as far as the outer contours of the housing part are concerned. They have essentially flat cuboid housings that have openings for actuating plungers or lighting elements on their upper, narrow end faces, cable entry openings opposite one another on the lateral narrow sides to the connection points, in particular screw terminals (for conventional wiring), and insertion openings for screwdrivers for actuating the on the lower narrow side Have screw terminals.
- a latching recess 12 for fastening the coupling module 4 is formed below each cable insertion opening.
- the coupling module 4 comprises a cuboid housing 40, which on its upper side has mechanical connecting means 41 (FIG. 2) for releasably fastening the coupling module 4 to the at least one functional element 8 and preferably electrical connecting means 42 for making electrical contact between the coupling module 4 and the at least one functional element 8 having.
- the mechanical connecting means 41 preferably comprise on one side three fixed rear grips 41 b spaced apart from one another by a free space 41 a, and on the opposite side a resiliently movable locking arm with three locking projections 41 c spaced apart from each other by a free space 41 a (FIG. 3).
- the latch arm preferably has means 41 d for engaging a tool, with the aid of which the latch arm can be bent to unlock a latch connection.
- These means 41d are preferably designed as a slot-shaped receptacle for engaging a screwdriver. However, other means 41 d are also conceivable, such as extensions for manual actuation.
- the locking projections 41c and the rear handles 41b are formed on the head side with inclined surfaces falling towards the surface of the coupling module 4, so that by simply pushing together the command and / or signaling device 2 and coupling module 4, these can be connected to one another by a mechanical latching connection.
- the electrical connection means 42 are advantageously formed by contact springs which, in the interior of the housing, represent the electrical connection to a logic unit.
- the contact springs are preferably non-positively and releasably fixable in the housing, so that, on the one hand, reliable contacting and, on the other hand, the contact springs can be easily expanded or reduced by adding or removing them.
- the coupling module 4 has the width of three functional elements 8 and has a total of six openings for receiving or carrying the contact springs.
- the openings are positioned in such a way that when the coupling module 4 is attached to the functional elements 8 of the command and signaling device, the contact springs protrude directly into the screwdriver insertion openings of the functional modules and press there on the screw heads of the connection terminals of the functional elements 8 and thus an electrically conductive connection ensure between coupling module 4 and the functional elements 8.
- this is either pressed onto the underside of the functional elements 8 in parallel from below, or hooked into the locking recess 12 on one side of the functional elements 8 with its fixed rear grips 41b and pivoted in the direction of the functional elements 8 until the opposite locking arm of the coupling module 4 engages with its locking projections 41c in the opposite locking recesses 12 of the functional elements 8.
- the coupling module 4 has, on its side facing the functional elements 8, protruding catch means 45 which engage in positioning openings 44 on the underside of the functional elements 8 to secure against lateral displacement.
- the positioning openings 44 are advantageously designed as angular extensions of the screwdriver openings (FIGS. 3 and 4).
- the locking recesses 12 of each functional element 8 preferably have lateral boundary walls 8a, which also cooperate with the rear handles 41b or the locking projections 41c for the purpose of securing against lateral displacement and / or rotation between coupling element 4 and command and signaling device 2 (FIG. 4).
- the rear grips 41b and the locking projections 41c of the locking arm can be designed such that the cable insertion openings are closed when the coupling unit 4 is installed.
- Snap projections 41c can be formed with shield-like extensions.
- the rear grips 41b and the latching projections 41c can also engage directly in the cable insertion openings of the functional elements 8 for the purpose of fastening the coupling module 4 and thus ensure safety against contact.
- FIG. 2 shows the arrangement according to the invention according to FIG. 1, wherein a laterally attached functional element 8 has no cover part. It can be clearly seen here that when the coupling unit 4 is installed, the fixed rear grips 41 b and the locking projections 41 c arranged opposite
- the contact between the coupling module 4 and the functional elements 8 can also be recognized by the contact springs pressing on the screw heads of the connecting terminals of the functional elements 8.
- bus connection means 43 are also shown in the form of a connection socket for receiving a plug part.
- the connection to a serial bus system in particular AS-i or Profibus, should be implemented with advantage.
- Corresponding other bus connection means are of course also provided for this purpose, such as knife contact connections to an AS-i two-wire line or simple screw connections or the like.
