Support bars have the task of absorbing the forces occurring in the cage tension spring. In order to eliminate this problem, the connection piece provides a punched-out holding tongue. This requires an additional punching process.
Bei Anschlussklemmen für Sammelschienen, wie die DE 93 15 474 U zeigt, sind derartige Stützstege vorhanden. Die Montage der Käfigzugfeder erfolgt im Gegensatz zur vorgenannten Klemme von der Seite.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine für Schaltgeräte geeignete Anschlussklemme zu schaffen, bei der eine einfache Montage, eine weitere Reduzie- rung der Lagerhaltungskosten, und bei der sowohl der Einsatz der Schraub- als auch der Klemmtechnik möglich ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a connection terminal suitable for switching devices, in which simple assembly, a further reduction in storage costs, and in which both the screwing and the clamping technology can be used.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst, während in den Unteransprüchen besonders vorteilhafte Weiter- bildungen der Erfindung gekennzeichnet sind.The object of the invention is achieved by the characterizing features of the independent claims, while particularly advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.
Durch die Erfindung wird nicht nur die Montage vereinfacht, weil vormontierte Module verwendet werden können, sondern es wird auch die konstruktive Ausführung der Käfigzugfeder und die Anordnung vereinfacht. Haltezungen an der Käfigzugfeder, die einen zusätzlichen Fertigungsschritt erforderlich machen, können eingespart werden.The invention not only simplifies assembly because preassembled modules can be used, it also simplifies the design of the cage tension spring and the arrangement. Retaining tongues on the cage tension spring, which require an additional manufacturing step, can be saved.
Vorteilhaft sind die Modulbauweise und schnellere Montagezeiten, die sich durch die Erfindung ergeben. Die Erfindung baut auf das Gleichteileprinzip bzw. Setzkastenprinzip auf. Vorteilhaft ist auch, dass in einfacher Weise sowohl Käfigzugfedern auch Schraubklemmen verwendet werden können. Eine besondere Einsparung tritt da- durch ein, dass das Grundgehäuse, in dem entweder die Käfigzugfedern oder dieThe modular design and faster assembly times that result from the invention are advantageous. The invention is based on the principle of the same parts or type case principle. It is also advantageous that both cage clamp springs and screw terminals can be used in a simple manner. There is a particular saving in that the basic housing, in which either the cage clamp springs or the
Schraubklemmen eingesetzt werden, gemeinsam verwendbar ist. Dies reduziert Lager- und Produktionskosten. Es sind keine getrennten Spritzgusswerkzeuge für Federklemmtechnik und Schraubtechnik erforderlich. Die Erfindung ermöglicht es weiterhin beide Techniken ohne Mehraufwand zu integrieren. Vorteilhaft ist durch die Verwendung der Module auch, dass standardisierte Käfigzugfedem verwendet werden können. Die Form des Moduls kann in einfacher Weise an die Konstruktion der Käfigzugfeder angepasst werden.Screw terminals are used, can be used together. This reduces storage and production costs. No separate injection molding tools are required for spring clamp technology and screw technology. The invention also makes it possible to integrate both techniques without additional effort. The use of the modules also means that standardized cage clamps can be used. The shape of the module can be easily adapted to the design of the cage tension spring.
Indem die Module in ein Aufnahmeschacht einrastbar sind, werden durch die Seiten- wände des Aufnahmeschachtes die Anforderungen an die elektrische Isolierung erfüllt. Gleichzeitig ist es möglich, das jeweilige Modul z.B. einseitig offen auszuführen. Durch die Anordnung in dem Aufnahmeschacht wird die offene Modulseite abgedeckt. Die Einrastbarkeit des Moduls vereinfacht die Montage. Besonders günstig ist es daher, wenn das Modul Rastnasen aufweist, die in an Seitenwänden des Aufnahmeschachtes angeordneten Rastöffnungen einrastbar sind.Since the modules can be snapped into a receiving shaft, the requirements for electrical insulation are met by the side walls of the receiving shaft. At the same time, it is possible to make the respective module open on one side, for example. The open module side is covered by the arrangement in the receiving shaft. The snap-in ability of the module simplifies assembly. It is therefore particularly expedient if the module has latching lugs which can be latched into latching openings arranged on the side walls of the receiving shaft.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn der Aufnahmeschacht auf einer Vorderseite zumindest teilweise offen ist, wobei die offene Vorderseite von einem Abdeckbereich oder von einer Abdeckung zumindest teilweise verschlossen wird. Dies ermöglicht sowohl ein Kabelanschluss von oben als auch von der Seite.It is particularly advantageous if the receiving shaft is at least partially open on a front side, the open front side being at least partially closed by a cover area or by a cover. This enables a cable connection from above as well as from the side.
Die Montage des Moduls wird vereinfacht, wenn das Modul einen Abdeckbereich mit Führungsstegen aufweist, wobei der Abdeckbereich breiter als der Aufnahmeschacht ist.The assembly of the module is simplified if the module has a cover area with guide webs, the cover area being wider than the receiving shaft.
Eine besonders günstige Ausführungsform des Moduls, eine sichere Klemmtechnik und eine einfache elektrische Kontaktierbarkeit ergibt sich wenn, das Modul ein Kontaktstück aufweist, das zwischen einer Käfigzugfeder und zwei Stützbereichen angeordnet ist, wobei zwischen den Stützbereichen ein Kabelkontaktraum vorhanden ist, wenn das Kontaktstück auf der der Kabelöffnungsseite gegenüberliegenden Seite her- ausgeführt ist, wenn das Kontaktstück gebogene Kontaktenden aufweist und wenn dasA particularly favorable embodiment of the module, a secure clamping technique and simple electrical contactability result if the module has a contact piece which is arranged between a cage tension spring and two support areas, a cable contact space being present between the support areas when the contact piece is on the Cable opening side opposite side is executed if the contact piece has bent contact ends and if that
Kontaktstück zwischen seinem Anschlussende und dem Kabelkontaktbereich eine Ab- kröpfung aufweist, wobei das Anschlussende aus dem Modul herausgeführt ist.Contact piece between its connection end and the cable contact area has a bend, the connection end being led out of the module.
Das Anschließen von Kabeln wird erleichtert indem neben dem Aufnahmemittel ein unten offener Kabelanschlussraum vorhanden ist, der sowohl für ein Anschlussende einer Käfigzugfeder als auch für ein Anschlussstück eines Basiskontaktelementes geeignet ist.The connection of cables is facilitated by the fact that, in addition to the receiving means, there is a cable connection space open at the bottom, which is suitable both for a connection end of a cage tension spring and for a connection piece of a base contact element.

Ausführung der ErfindungImplementation of the invention
Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Anschlussklemme 1 b mit einem Federklemmmittel 7.1 shows a connecting terminal 1 b with a spring clamping means 7.
Die Anschlussklemme weist ein Aufnahmeschacht 5 auf, in dem ein Modul 6 einrastbar ist. Das Federklemmmittel 7 ist eine Käfigzugfeder, die in dem Modul 6 angeordnet ist. Die Anschlussklemme 1 b bzw. das Klemmmodul, hier Modul 6, sind weiterhin in den Figuren 2 bis 12 gezeigt. Eine Anschlussklemme 1a mit einem Aufnahmemittel 2 für ein Basiskontaktelement 3 für einen Schraubanschluss 4 ist in den Fig. 13 bis 18 gezeigt.The connection terminal has a receiving shaft 5 in which a module 6 can be snapped into place. The spring clamping means 7 is a cage tension spring which is arranged in the module 6. The connection terminal 1 b or the terminal module, here module 6, are also shown in FIGS. 2 to 12. A connection terminal 1 a with a receiving means 2 for a base contact element 3 for a screw connection 4 is shown in FIGS. 13 to 18.
Der Schraubanschluss 4 ist einfach durch ein Modul 6 austauschbar, wobei in dem Modul 6 Federklemmmittel 7 angeordnet sind. Je nach Wunsch kann also ein Schraub- oder Klemmanschluss angeordnet werden. Das Modul 6 wird in einfacher Weise in ein Aufnahmeschacht 5 der Anschlussklemme 1a eingerastet. Zur Vereinfachung der Montage weist das Modul 6 eine offene Montageseite 8 auf, von der aus das Federklemmmittel 7 montierbar ist. Weiterhin weist das Modul 6 Rastnasen 9 auf, wie die Figuren 1 , 4 und 10 zeigen, die in an Seitenwänden 11 des Aufnahmeschachtes 5 angeordneten Rastöffnungen 10 einrastbar sind. Der Aufnahmeschacht 5 ist auf einer Vorderseite 12 teilweise offen, wie Fig. 1 deutlich zeigt, wobei die offene Vorderseite 12 von einem Abdeckbereich 13, der in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist, verschlossen wird. Bei der Schraubklemme wird die offene Vorderseite 12 von einer Abdeckung 14 zumindest teilweise verschlossen, in den Figuren 15, 16 und 18 zu sehen ist. Das Modul 6 weist femer einen Abdeckbereich 13 mit Führungsstegen 15 auf, wobei der Abdeckbereich 13 breiter als der Aufnahmeschacht 5 ist, was ein geführtes Hineinschieben des Moduls bewirkt.The screw connection 4 can easily be replaced by a module 6, spring clamp means 7 being arranged in the module 6. Depending on your requirements, a screw or clamp connection can be arranged. The module 6 is snapped into a receiving slot 5 of the connection terminal 1 a in a simple manner. To simplify the assembly, the module 6 has an open assembly side 8, from which the spring clamping means 7 can be assembled. Furthermore, the module 6 has latching lugs 9, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 10, which can be latched into latching openings 10 arranged on side walls 11 of the receiving shaft 5. The receiving shaft 5 is partially open on a front side 12, as clearly shown in FIG. 1, the open front side 12 being closed by a cover area 13 which is shown in FIG. 3. In the screw terminal, the open front side 12 is at least partially closed by a cover 14, which can be seen in FIGS. 15, 16 and 18. The module 6 also has a cover area 13 with guide webs 15, the cover area 13 being wider than the receiving shaft 5, which causes the module to be pushed in in a guided manner.
Wie insbesondere die Figuren 8 bis 10 zeigen, weist das Modul 6 einen an sich bekannten knochenförmigen Halteansatz 16 für die Käfigzugfeder 7, eine oder mehrere Werkzeugeinstecköffnungen 17 und eine oder mehrere Kabeleinstecköffnungen 18 zum Einführen der Kabel von oben auf. Die Käfigzugfeder 7 ist derart unterteilt, dass zwei Kabel unabhängig voneinander geklemmt können.As particularly shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the module 6 has a known bone-shaped retaining attachment 16 for the cage tension spring 7, one or more tool insertion openings 17 and one or more cable insertion openings 18 for inserting the cables from above. The cage tension spring 7 is divided in such a way that two cables can be clamped independently of one another.
Damit Klemmkräfte aufgefangen werden können und die Käfigzugfeder problemlos montierbar ist, ist ein in Fig. 11 gezeigtes Kontaktstück 19 zwischen der Käfigzugfeder 7 und zwei Stützbereichen 20, 21 angeordnet, wobei zwischen den Stützbereichen 20, 21 ein Kabelkontaktraum 22 vorhanden ist, in das die Kabel eintauchen können und in bekannter Weise kontaktiert werden können, wobei das Kontaktstück 19 auf der derIn order that clamping forces can be absorbed and the cage tension spring can be mounted without problems, a contact piece 19 shown in FIG. 11 is arranged between the cage tension spring 7 and two support areas 20, 21, a cable contact space 22 being present between the support areas 20, 21, into which the cables can immerse and can be contacted in a known manner, the contact piece 19 on the
Kabelöffnungsseite 23 gegenüberliegenden Seite 24 herausgeführt ist, wie z.B. auch die Fig. 12 zeigt.Cable opening side 23 opposite side 24 is led out, such as 12 also shows.
Das Kontaktstück 19 weist gebogene Kontaktenden 25 auf, die in einer Mulde im Mo- dulgehäuse gelagert sind. Zwischen dem Anschlussende 26 und dem Kabelkontaktbereich 27 ist eine Abkröpfung 28 vorhanden, wobei das Anschlussende 26 aus dem Mo- dul 6, wie erläutert, herausgeführt ist. Das Modul 6 weist an den Seiten im oberen Modulbereich erste Führungszapfen 29 auf, die mit an den Seitenwänden 11 angeordneten Führungseinschnitten 30 korrespondieren. Damit die Austauschbarkeit des Modul 6 mit Schraubklemmen vereinfacht wird, ist bodenseitig ein blockförmiger Führungsan- satz 30 angeordnet, der mit den Aufnahmemittel 2 in Form einer Steckmulde für das Basiskontaktelement 3 verbindbar ist.The contact piece 19 has curved contact ends 25 which are mounted in a trough in the module housing. A bend 28 is present between the connection end 26 and the cable contact area 27, the connection end 26 being dul 6, as explained, is brought out. The module 6 has first guide pins 29 on the sides in the upper module area, which correspond to guide incisions 30 arranged on the side walls 11. So that the interchangeability of the module 6 with screw terminals is simplified, a block-shaped guide projection 30 is arranged on the bottom, which can be connected to the receiving means 2 in the form of a plug-in trough for the base contact element 3.
Die Anschlussklemme 1 a, 1 b weist, wie die Figuren 6 und 16 zeigen, Kabelführungen 31 unterhalb der Module 6 auf. So können Kabel, ohne dass Module montiert sind, leicht herausgeführt werden. Die Kabel können mit den Anschlussenden 26 z.B. verlötet werden. Danach können die Module montiert werden. Der gleiche Weg ist bei der Verwendung der Schraubklemmen möglich.As shown in FIGS. 6 and 16, the connection terminal 1 a, 1 b has cable guides 31 below the modules 6. This means that cables can be easily led out without modules being installed. The cables can be connected to the connection ends 26 e.g. to be soldered. The modules can then be assembled. The same way is possible when using the screw terminals.
Das Basiskontaktelement 3 ist mit zwei Befestigungsschenkeln mit je einer Sägever- zahnung 33 versehen. Die Befestigungsschenkel werden in die Mulden bzw. Aufnah- memittel 2 gesteckt. Neben den Aufnahmemittel 2 ist ein unten offener Kabelanschlussraum 32 vorhanden, der sowohl für ein Anschlussende 26 einer Käfigzugfeder 7 als auch für ein Anschlussstück 34 eines Basiskontaktelementes 3 geeignet ist. Die Schraubanschlüsse 4 bzw. die Schraubklemmen 34 sind mit einer Abdeckung 14 mit Schrauböffnungen 35 abdeckbar, wobei die Abdeckung 14 Rastnasen 9 und Führungszapfen 29 aufweist, die identisch mit den Rastnasen 9 und Führungszapfen 29 der Module 6 ausgebildet sind. Die Schraubanschlüsse 4 von Schraubklemmen 34 sind derart mit einer Abdeckung 14 versehen, wobei die Abdeckung 14 eine im Verhältnis zur Vorderwand 12 kürzeren Abdeckfläche 36 aufweist, dass eine Einstecköffnung 37 für ein oder mehrere Kabel vorhanden ist.The base contact element 3 is provided with two fastening legs, each with a saw toothing 33. The fastening legs are inserted into the troughs or receiving means 2. In addition to the receiving means 2, there is a cable connection space 32 open at the bottom, which is suitable both for a connection end 26 of a cage tension spring 7 and for a connection piece 34 of a base contact element 3. The screw connections 4 and the screw terminals 34 can be covered with a cover 14 with screw openings 35, the cover 14 having latching lugs 9 and guide pins 29 which are identical to the latching lugs 9 and guide pins 29 of the modules 6. The screw terminals 4 of screw terminals 34 are provided with a cover 14, the cover 14 having a cover surface 36 that is shorter in relation to the front wall 12, such that an insertion opening 37 is provided for one or more cables.
Die Anschlussklemmen 1a, 1b sind mit einem T-förmigen Befestigungssteg 39 versehen, wenn die Anschlussklemmen 1a, 1b in Schützen mit einem separaten Klemmengehäuse 38 einzeln angeordnet sind. Die Anschlussklemmen können auch in Schützen in einem Schaltgerätegehäuse nebeneinander und integriert angeordnet sein.The connection terminals 1a, 1b are provided with a T-shaped fastening web 39 if the connection terminals 1a, 1b are arranged individually in contactors with a separate terminal housing 38. The connection terminals can also be arranged side by side and integrated in contactors in a switchgear housing.
