Only one of the single connecting locations of each of the lower tiers of the terminal units is connected with the power source and the electric power supplied to this single connecting location is distributed by a transverse connector arrangement to all of the connecting locations of the terminal units that are arranged in the same tier for connecting the respective initiators thereat.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Initiatorklemmen­block mit mindestens zwei dreistöckigen Klemmen, zur versor­gungstechnischen und steuertechnischen Verknüpfung von Initiatoren einerseits mit einer Spannungsquelle und andererseits mit Signalempfängern. Bei der bislang üblichen Ausgestaltung derartiger Initiatorklemmenblocks werden je­weils in einer einzelnen Klemme eines derartigen Blockes für jeweils einen Initiator alle dessen schalttechnischen Ver­knüpfungen derart vorgenommen, daß der betroffene Initia­tor über seine Klemme jeweils mit einer entsprechenden An­zahl von Vorsorgungsleitungen direkt mit der Spannungsquelle verbunden wird und er ferner mittels dieser Klemme durch Steuerleitungen mit dem ihm zugeordneten Signalempfänger verbunden wird. Es ergibt sich hierdurch pro Klemme das Er­fordernis einer großen Anzahl von Anschlußstellen für die zahlreichen Versorgungs- und Steuerleiter, so daß auch bei Verwendung von dreistöckigen Klemmen diese Klemmen außer­ordentlich lang werden, da sowohl auf der Vorderseite wie auf der Rückseite jeweils drei Anschlußstellen benötigt werden, wobei diese Anschlußstellen etagenweise durch Strom­schienen oder dergleichen elektrisch leitend miteinander zu verbinden sind. Das Herstellen der Anschlüsse erfordert viel Aufmerksamkeit, da auf beiden Klemmenseiten sowohl Versor­gungsleiter wie auch Schaltungsleiter angeschlossen werden müssen.The present invention relates to an initiator terminal block with at least two three-tier terminals, for the supply-related and control-related connection of initiators on the one hand with a voltage source and on the other hand with signal receivers. In the design of such initiator terminal blocks that has been customary to date, all of its switching connections are made in a single terminal of such a block for one initiator in each case such that the initiator in question is connected directly to the voltage source via its terminal with a corresponding number of supply lines, and furthermore is connected by means of this terminal through control lines to the signal receiver assigned to it. This results in the requirement for a large number of connection points for the numerous supply and control conductors per terminal, so that even when using three-level terminals, these terminals are extremely long, since three connection points are required on both the front and the back, whereby these connection points are to be connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner by busbars or the like. Establishing the connections requires a great deal of attention, since both supply conductors and circuit conductors must be connected on both terminal sides.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zu­grunde, einen Initiatorklemmenblock der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, dessen Klemmen einen denkbar geringen Raumbedarf haben und dabei eine erheblich vereinfachte Anschlußmöglich­keit für die verschiedenen Leiter bilden.The present invention is therefore based on the object of creating an initiator terminal block of the generic type, the terminals of which require very little space and at the same time form a considerably simplified connection option for the various conductors.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht darin, daß jeweils die beiden unteren Etagen der Klemmen des Klemmenblockes nur eine Anschlußstelle haben, der jeweils ein Querver­binderanschluß zugeordnet ist, während jeweils die oberste Etage der Klemmen zwei Anschußstellen aufweist, wobei nur eine Klemme des Klemmenblockes mit ihren beiden unteren Etagen an die Spannungsquelle angeschlossen ist und die Versorgungsspannung über die Querverbinder auf die unteren Etagen der anderen Klemmen des Klemmenblockes zum dortigen Anschluß der Initiatoren verteilt ist.The solution according to the invention is that the two lower floors of the terminals of the terminal block have only one connection point, each of which is assigned a cross connector connection, while the top floor of the terminals has two connection points, only one terminal of the terminal block with its two lower floors is connected to the voltage source and the supply voltage is distributed via the cross connector to the lower levels of the other terminals of the terminal block for connecting the initiators there.

Dank dieser Ausgestaltung kommen in den beiden unteren Etagen der einzelnen Klemmen des Klemmenblockes die rück­wärtigen Anschlüsse völlig in Fortfall, so daß die ein­zelnen Klemmen und damit der daraus zusammengesetzte Klemmenblock wesentlich kürzer baut. Die geringfügige Erhöhung der Anreihbreite eines darartigen Blockes da­durch, daß die ausschließlich für den Anschluß der Spannungsquelle vorgesehene Klemme, bezogen auf die Ver­knüpfung der Initiatoren, als zusätzliche Klemme anzu­sehen ist, fällt demgegenüber nicht ins Gewicht. Trotz der erheblichen Verkürzung der Klemmen des Klemmenblockes steht, da in den unteren Etagen der einzelnen Klemmen nur vorderseitig jeweils eine Anschlußstelle vorgesehen ist, in den Klemmen trotzdem ein großer Innenraum für die Unterbringung von Schaltungselementen zur Verfügung. Ein derartiger Klemmenblock bietet auch eine gute und sehr ein­fache Anschlußmöglichkeit für die Leiter, da sich jetzt alle Versorgungsleitungen, sowohl die zur Spannungsquelle wie auch die zu den Initiatoren, als Hin- und Rückleitung nur auf einer Seite des Klemmenblockes befinden.Thanks to this configuration, the rear connections are completely eliminated in the two lower floors of the individual terminals of the terminal block, so that the individual terminals and thus the terminal block composed of them are built much shorter. The slight increase in the baying width of a block of this type in that the terminal which is provided exclusively for the connection of the voltage source, in relation to the connection of the initiators, is to be regarded as an additional terminal, is of no consequence. Despite the considerable shortening of the terminals of the terminal block, since in the lower levels of the individual terminals only one connection point is provided on the front side, a large interior space is still available in the terminals for accommodating circuit elements. Such a terminal block also offers a good and very simple connection option for the conductors, since all supply lines, both to the voltage source and to the initiators, are now only available on one side of the terminal block as a forward and return line.

Es werden jetzt nur noch die Steuerleitungen auf einer Seite von den Initiatoren aus in die Klemmen des Klemmen­blockes geführt und auf der anderen Klemmenseite zu den Signalempfängern herausgeführt.Now only the control lines from the initiators are led into the terminals of the terminal block and lead out to the signal receivers on the other side of the terminal.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet. Hervorzuheben ist die Zuordnung eines kurzen Stromschienenstückes zu den Anschlußstellen in den unteren Etagen der Klemmen. Diese Stromschienenstücke ragen nur wenig in den Isolierkörper hinein, ermöglichen aber einerseits das Anschließen der Querverbinder sowie ferner das Tätigen beispielsweise von Lötanschlüssen im Inneren der Klemme für etwaige dort unterzubringende Schaltungen, für die ja jetzt ein ausreichender Raum zur Verfügung steht.Further configurations are characterized in the subclaims. The assignment of a short conductor rail section to the connection points on the lower levels of the terminals should be emphasized. These conductor rail pieces protrude only a little into the insulating body, but on the one hand enable the connection of the cross connectors and also make, for example, solder connections inside the terminal for any circuits to be accommodated there, for which there is now sufficient space available.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Initiatorklemmenblockes gemäß der Erfindung wird nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung näher beschrieben.An embodiment of an initiator terminal block according to the invention is described below with reference to the drawing.

Die Zeichnung zeigt einen Initiatorklemmenblock gemäß der Erfindung in perspektivischer Darstellung, mit Illustration der schalttechnischen Verknüpfung des Initiatorklemmen­blockes mit der Spannungsquelle, den Initiatoren und den Signalgebern.The drawing shows an initiator terminal block according to the invention in perspective, with an illustration of the circuitry connection of the initiator terminal block with the voltage source, the initiators and the signal generators.

Das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel geht davon aus, daß drei Initiatoren 1a, 1b und 1c jeweils mit drei Signal­empfängern 2a, 2b und 2c steuertechnisch zu verknüpfen sind. Es kann sich hierbei beispielsweise um drei Relais handeln, die dann jeweils aufgrund eines Signales des entsprechenden Initiators die Versorgungsleitung für ein Schütz schließen.The exemplary embodiment shown assumes that three initiators 1a, 1b and 1c are to be linked with three signal receivers 2a, 2b and 2c for control purposes. This can be, for example, three relays, each of which then closes the supply line for a contactor based on a signal from the corresponding initiator.

Die Initiatoren 1a, 1b und 1c werden von einer Spannungs­quelle, beispielsweise einem Gleichrichter 3, über die in der Zeichnung gestrichelt (+) und strichpunktiert (-) dargestellten Versorgungsleiter mit der Versorgungsspannung beaufschlagt, an die auch mittels eines Verteilers 4 die Relais 2a, 2b und 2c gelegt werden.The initiators 1a, 1b and 1c are supplied with the supply voltage by a voltage source, for example a rectifier 3, via the supply lines shown in dashed (+) and dash-dotted lines (-), to which the relays 2a, 2b are also connected by means of a distributor 4 and 2c.

Für die Betätigung der erforderlichen schalttechnischen Verknüpfungen weist nun der dargestellte Initiatorklemmen­block insgesamt vier einzelne Klemmen 5, 5a, 5b und 5c auf. Die Klemmen 5, 5a, 5b und 5c sind nebeneinander auf einer genormten Tragschiene aufgerastet. Dabei haben die Klemmen 5, 5a, 5b und 5c drei Etagen. Alle Klemmen haben dabei in ihren beiden unteren Etagen jeweils nur eine einzige Anschluß­stelle, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Schraub­anschluß 7 ausgebildet ist. Lediglich die oberste Etage der Klemmen weist zwei Anschlußstellen auf, wobei im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel auch hier Schraubanschlüsse 7 vorgesehen sind, die untereinander in der üblichen Weise durch eine Strom­schiene 8 leitend miteinander verbunden sind.The initiator terminal block shown now has a total of four individual terminals 5, 5a, 5b and 5c for actuating the necessary switching connections. The terminals 5, 5a, 5b and 5c are snapped together next to each other on a standardized mounting rail. The terminals 5, 5a, 5b and 5c have three levels. All terminals have only a single connection point in their two lower levels, which is designed as a screw connection 7 in the exemplary embodiment shown. Only the top floor of the terminals has two connection points, screw connections 7 also being provided in the exemplary embodiment shown, which are conductively connected to one another in the usual manner by a busbar 8.

Den einzigen Anschlüssen 7 in den beiden unteren Etagen der Klemmen 5, 5a, 5b und 5c sind dagegen Querverbinderanschlüsse zugeordnet, wozu im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel den Schraubanschlüssen jeweils kurze Stromschienenstücke 9 zuge­ ordnet sind, die nur wenig in den Innenraum der Klemmen vorstehen, so daß, wie die Anschauung der Zeichnung zeigt, in den Klemmen trotz ihrer relativen Kürze ein großer freier Innenraum vorhanden ist, in dem Schaltungen und deren Bausteine zusätzlich untergebracht werden können.On the other hand, cross connector connections are assigned to the only connections 7 in the two lower floors of the terminals 5, 5a, 5b and 5c, for which purpose short conductor rail pieces 9 are added to the screw connections in the illustrated embodiment are arranged, which protrude little into the interior of the terminals, so that, as the drawing shows, despite the relative brevity of the terminals, there is a large free interior in which circuits and their components can also be accommodated.

Die Stromschienenstücke 9a können auch dazu benutzt werden, beispielsweise über Lötanschlüsse hier die im Innenraum der Klemmen etwaig untergebrachten Schaltungen und Schaltungs­elemente anzuschließen.The conductor rail pieces 9a can also be used, for example, to connect the circuits and circuit elements which may be accommodated in the interior of the terminals, for example via solder connections.

Die Stromschienenstücke 9 dienen ferner dazu, innenliegende, sich über die Klemmen des Initiatorklemmenblockes erstrek­kende Querverbinder 10 für die beiden unteren Etagen anzu­schließen. Hierzu sind die Stromschienenstücke 9 mit Gewindelöchern versehen, in die auch durch die Querver­binder 10 gesteckte Schrauben 11 eingeschraubt werden, wo­bei die Distanz zwischen dem Querverbindern 10 und den Strom­schienenstücken 9 durch elektrisch leitende Distanzhülsen 12 überbrückt wird.The busbar pieces 9 also serve to connect internal cross connectors 10, which extend over the terminals of the initiator terminal block, for the two lower floors. For this purpose, the busbar pieces 9 are provided with threaded holes into which screws 11 inserted through the cross connector 10 are screwed, the distance between the cross connector 10 and the busbar pieces 9 being bridged by electrically conductive spacer sleeves 12.

Die schaltungstechnische Verknpüfung der Initiatoren 1a, 1b und 1c mit der Spannungsquelle 3 wird nun so vorgenommen, daß ausschließlich nur eine Klemme 5 des Initiatorklemmen­blockes direkt über entsprechende Leiter mit der Spannungs­quelle 3 verbunden wird. Die Versorgungsspannung für die drei Initiatoren 1a, 1b und 1c wird dann ausgehend von dieser einen Klemme 5 des Initiatorklemmenblockes über den Quer­verbinderanschluß 10, 11, 12 und die Stromschienenstücke 9 auf die anderen, den einzelnen Initiatoren zugeordneten Klemmen 5a, 5b und 5c des Klemmenblockes verteilt, an deren beide unteren Etagen dann die Initiatoren 1a, 1b und 1c entsprechend angeschlossen werden, wie durch die entspre­chend gestrichelten Leiterdarstellungen mit entsprechen­den Pfeilen illustriert ist.The circuitry linking initiators 1a, 1b and 1c to voltage source 3 is now carried out in such a way that only one terminal 5 of the initiator terminal block is connected directly to voltage source 3 via appropriate conductors. The supply voltage for the three initiators 1a, 1b and 1c is then distributed from this one terminal 5 of the initiator terminal block via the cross connector connection 10, 11, 12 and the busbar pieces 9 to the other terminals 5a, 5b and 5c of the terminal block assigned to the individual initiators , at their Both lower floors then the initiators 1a, 1b and 1c are connected accordingly, as illustrated by the corresponding dashed line representations with corresponding arrows.

Hieraus ergibt sich, daß sämtliche Versorgungsleiter sich als Hin- und Rückleiter auf nur einer Seite des Initiator­klemmenblockes befinden.The result of this is that all supply conductors are located on only one side of the initiator terminal block as outgoing and return conductors.

Lediglich in der obersten Etage werden die Steuerleitungen von den Initiatoren 1a, 1b und 1c auf der einen Seite in die entsprechenden Klemmen 5a, 5b und 5c des Klemmenblockes eingeführt und auf der anderen Seite zu den entsprechenden Signalempfängern 2a, 2b und 2c herausgeführt.Only on the top floor are the control lines from the initiators 1a, 1b and 1c inserted on one side into the corresponding terminals 5a, 5b and 5c of the terminal block and out on the other side to the corresponding signal receivers 2a, 2b and 2c.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung können hier in den obersten Etagen der entsprechenden Klemmen 5a, 5b, 5c des Klemmenblockes je­weils zwischen den beiden Anschlußstellen Trennglieder vor­gesehen werden, die ein Unterbrechen des jeweiligen Steuer­stromkreises ermöglichen.In a further embodiment, isolating elements can be provided on the top floors of the corresponding terminals 5a, 5b, 5c of the terminal block between the two connection points, which enable the respective control circuit to be interrupted.
