Abstract

Bei diesem Querverbinder sitzen einstückig an einer Querleiste (1) kammzinkenartig unterseitig eine Vielzahl von Flachsteckern (2). Diese sind dabei etwa um 90° zur Querleiste (1) verdreht, so daß ihre Flachebene etwa senkrecht zur Längsebene der Querleiste (1) steht. Die Flachebene ist damit in etwa in die Reihungstiefe von Reihenklemmen verdreht, die Stromschienen (3) haben, die für die Aufnahme dieser Flachstecker gelocht sind. Der Querverbinder ist ein einfaches Stanz- und Biegeteil. Nicht benötigte Flachstecker können über eine Sollbruchstelle (6) von der Querleiste (1) abgebrochen werden.In this cross connector, a large number of tabs (2) are seated in one piece on a cross bar (1) in the manner of comb teeth. These are rotated about 90 ° to the cross bar (1) so that their flat plane is approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the cross bar (1). The flat plane is thus rotated approximately into the depth of the row of terminal blocks which have busbars (3) which are perforated for receiving these flat plugs. The cross connector is a simple stamped and bent part. Flat plugs that are not required can be broken off from the cross bar (1) via a predetermined breaking point (6).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Querverbinder mit einer Querleiste und unterseitig davon nach unten vorstehenden Flachsteckern für Reihenklemmen mit für die Aufnahme der Flachstecker gelochten Stromschienen.The invention relates to a cross connector with a cross bar and on the underside thereof downwardly projecting tabs for terminal blocks with perforated busbars for receiving the tabs.

Bei einer bekannten Anordnung der gattungsgemäßen Art (DE-OS 27 36 664) weisen die in Reihungstiefe verlaufenden Stromschienen der Reihenklemmen jeweils zwei in Reihungstiefe orientierte Stecköffnungen auf, und als Querverbinder sind jeweils eine Vielzahl von U-förmigen Querverbinder-Steckelementen vorgesehen, wobei zur Erstellung der gewünschten Querverbindungen jeweils immer in lückenloser Aufeinanderfolge von Reihenklemme zu Reihenklemme ein derartiges Querverbinder-Element eingesteckt werden muß. Es müssen somit eine Vielzahl einzelner Querverbinder-Steckelemente bevorratet werden und es müssen normalerweise dann auch in einer Anreihung von Reihenklemmen eine Vielzahl derartiger Querverbinder-Steckelemente durch Einstecken angebracht werden, so daß von der Montageseite her im Grunde genommen der theoretisch mögliche Vorteil gegenüber Querverbindern mit Schraubanschluß wieder verlorengeht. Darüber hinaus ist man in der Beliebigkeit der Herstellung von Querverbindungen bei einer Anreihung von Reihenklemmen hier sehr gebunden, weil bei dieser Ausgestaltung eine Fortlassung eines Querverbinder-Steckelementes in einer Aufeinanderfolge dieser Elemente nicht möglich ist.In a known arrangement of the generic type (DE-OS 27 36 664), the busbars of the terminal blocks running in row depth each have two plug openings oriented in row depth, and a plurality of U-shaped cross connector plug-in elements are provided as cross connectors, for the creation of the desired cross connections, such a cross connector element must always be inserted in a seamless sequence from terminal block to terminal block. A large number of individual cross connector plug-in elements must therefore be kept in stock, and they must then usually also be in a row a number of such cross connector plug-in elements are attached by terminal blocks by plugging in, so that the theoretically possible advantage over cross connectors with screw connection is basically lost from the mounting side. In addition, the arbitrariness of the production of cross-connections in a series of terminal blocks is very restricted here, because in this configuration it is not possible to omit a cross-connector plug element in a succession of these elements.

Es sind ferner andererseits verschiedene Querverbinder bekannt, bei denen an einer Querleiste jeweils eine Vielzahl von Distanz- oder Verbindungselementen, die bis zu den Stromschienen der Reihenklemmen reichen, teilweise auch über Sollbruchstellen, angeordnet sind, wobei die zu den Stromschienen reichenden Elemente eine Anschlußschraube tragen, die zum Anschließen der betroffenen Reihenklemme an die Querverbindung in eine Gewindebohrung der Stromschienen eingeschraubt wird (DE-OS 23 57 052, DE-OS 29 14 192). Derartige Querverbinder mit Anschlußschrauben sind in der Herstellung relativ teuer, verteuern durch das Erfordernis des Gewindeloches auch die Herstellung der Stromschienen,und das Herstellen der Schraubanschlüsse erfordert erstens relativ viel Zeit und wird dann im besonderen als störend empfunden, wenn es sich um Federdruck-Reihenklemmen oder sonstige schraubenlose Reihenklemmen handelt, bei denen für das Anschließen der an- und abkommenden elektrischen Leiter Schraubvorgänge nicht durchzuführen sind.On the other hand, various cross connectors are also known, in which a plurality of spacing or connecting elements, which extend as far as the busbars of the terminal blocks, in some cases also over predetermined breaking points, are arranged on a crossbar, the elements reaching to the busbars carrying a connecting screw, which is screwed into a threaded hole of the busbars for connecting the affected terminal block to the cross connection (DE-OS 23 57 052, DE-OS 29 14 192). Such cross connectors with connection screws are relatively expensive to manufacture, more expensive due to the need for the threaded hole, the production of the busbars, and the production of screw connections requires a relatively long time and is particularly perceived as annoying when it comes to spring-loaded terminal blocks or other screwless terminal blocks, in which screwing operations are not necessary for connecting the incoming and outgoing electrical conductors.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Querverbinder der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, der es bei denkbar einfachem konstruktiven Aufbau ermöglicht, schnell und einfach in einer Anreihung von Reihenklemmen völlig beliebige Querverbindungen herzustellen.The present invention has for its object to provide a cross connector of the generic type, which makes it possible to quickly and easily make any desired cross connections in a row of terminal blocks with a simple construction.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ergibt sich aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1.The solution according to the invention results from the characterizing part of claim 1.

Bei diesem Qurverbinder handelt es sich um ein sehr einfach herzustellendes Stanzteil, bei dem lediglich nach dem Stanzen die an der Querleiste befindlichen Flachstecker zur Querleiste so verdreht werden, daß sie dann mit ihrer Flachebene zumindest in etwa in der Reihungstiefe der Reihenklemmenanordnung und damit auch in der Erstreckungsrichtung der Stromschiene liegen. Die Stromschienen können dann mit einem einfachen Langloch versehen werden, so daß sich aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung auch die gewünschten relativ großen und hier erforderlichen Übertragungsquerschnitte für recht beträchtliche Stromstärken an den Flachsteckern verwirklichen lassen. Die Anbringung eines solchen Querverbinders in jeder beliebigen Polzahl und in jeder beliebigen Reihenklemmenanschließung an eine solche Querverbindung geschieht schnell und einfach durch Einstecken des Querverbinders in einer Länge der Querleiste entsprechend der gewünschten Polzahl in die Langlöcher der Stromschienen der betroffenen Reihenklemmen, nachdem man überall an denjenigenThis cross connector is a very easy to manufacture stamped part, in which only the flat plugs on the cross bar are turned to the cross bar after punching so that their flat level then at least approximately in the row depth of the terminal block arrangement and thus also in Direction of extension of the busbar. The busbars can then be provided with a simple elongated hole, so that, due to this configuration, the desired relatively large and here required transmission cross-sections can be realized for the sockets with quite considerable currents. The attachment of such a cross connector in any number of poles and in any arbitrary terminal connection to such a cross connection is done quickly and simply by inserting the cross connector in a length of the crossbar corresponding to the desired number of poles into the elongated holes of the busbars of the affected terminal blocks, after having worked on them everywhere

Stellen, an denen Reihenklemmen in der Reihenanordnung sitzen, die nicht an diese Querverbindung angeschlossen werden sollen, die Flachstecker von der Querleiste abgetrennt hat. Letzteres kann in einfacher Weise mit Hilfe einer Sollbruchstelle, über die der Flachstecker an der Querleiste hängt, geschehen. Zweckmäßig sind ferner auch in der Querleiste, diese überquerend und in Verlängerung der Ansätze der Flachstecker an der Querleiste, Sollbruchstellen vorgesehen, so daß man aus einem langen Querleistenstück jeweils die Querverbinder der benötigten Polzahl abbrechen kann.Places where terminal blocks are located in the row arrangement, which are not to be connected to this cross connection, have separated the tabs from the cross bar. The latter can be done in a simple manner with the aid of a predetermined breaking point, over which the flat connector hangs on the cross bar. It is also expedient to provide predetermined breaking points in the crossbar, crossing it and extending the tabs on the crossbar, so that the cross connector of the required number of poles can be broken off from a long piece of crossbar.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen betreffen die federnde Schlitzung der Flachstecker, zweckmäßig auch in Verbindung mit Einsteckschrägen und mit Rastnoppen, so daß sie leicht in die Stromschienen eingesteckt, hier dann aber auch relativ sicher gehalten werden können, sowie die Ausgestaltung des elektrischen Berührungsschutzes für einen derartigen Querverbinder.Further preferred configurations relate to the resilient slitting of the flat plugs, expediently also in connection with insertion bevels and with locking knobs, so that they can be easily inserted into the busbars, but then can also be held relatively securely here, and the design of the electrical contact protection for such a cross connector.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Querverbinders gemäß der Erfindung wird nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügte Zeichnung beschrieben.An embodiment of a cross connector according to the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Die Zeichnung zeigt einen Querverbinder gemäß der Erfindung in perspektivischer Darstellung mit Illustrierung angrenzender oder damit zusammenwirkender Reihenklemmenteile.The drawing shows a cross connector according to the invention in perspective with an illustration of adjacent or interacting terminal block parts.

Der Querverbinder ist als einstückiges Stanzteil ausgebildet und weist eine lange, metallisch leitende, sich quer über eine Reihenklemmenanordnung erstreckende Querleiste 1 auf, von der kammzinkenartig eine Vielzahl von Flachsteckern 2 nach unten vorstehen. Die Flachstecker 2 sind dabei um 90° zur Querleiste 1 verdreht, derart, daß ihre Flachebene senkrecht zur Längsebene der Querleiste 1 steht.The cross connector is designed as a one-piece stamped part and has a long, metallically conductive cross bar 1 extending across a terminal block arrangement, from which a plurality of tabs 2 protrude downward in the manner of a comb. The tabs 2 are rotated by 90 ° to the cross bar 1 such that their flat plane is perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the cross bar 1.

Der Querverbinder ist zum Zusammenwirken mit einer Anreihung von Reihenklemmen bestimmt, deren Stromschienen quer zur Reihungsrichtung der Reihenanordnung, d.h. in Reihungstiefe, parallel zu den aus Isolierstoff bestehenden Trennwänden der einzelnen Reihenklemmen liegen. Die Stromschienen 3 der Reihenklemmen, von denen eine in der Zeichnung angedeutet ist, weisen in ihrer Längserstreckung orientierte Stecköffnungen 4 auf, in die dann infolge der 90°-Verdrehung der Flachstecker 2 im Verhältnis zur Querleiste 1 die Flachstecker 2 eingesteckt werden können, da ihre Flachebene ja jetzt in der Reihungstiefe liegt. Auf diese Weise lassen sich für die Flachstecker 2 relativ große Stromübertragungsquerschnitte verwirklichen.The cross connector is intended to interact with a series of terminal blocks, the busbars of which are transverse to the direction of the series arrangement, i.e. in rows, parallel to the partition walls of the individual terminal blocks made of insulating material. The busbars 3 of the terminal blocks, one of which is indicated in the drawing, have oriented plug openings 4 in their longitudinal extension, into which the flat plug 2 can then be inserted as a result of the 90 ° rotation of the flat plug 2 in relation to the transverse bar 1, since their Flat level is now in the depth of the row. In this way, relatively large current transmission cross sections can be realized for the flat plug 2.

Die Abstände der Flachstecker 2 voneinander sind so gewählt, wie es den Abständen der Löcher 4 in den Stromschienen 3 einer Reihenklemmenanordnung entspricht. Die Länge der Flachstecker 2 ist dabei so gewählt, daß sie einerseits sicher in die Stromschienen eingesteckt werden können und daß andererseits jeweils im oberen Freiraum zwischen zwei Flachsteckern 2 die entsprechende Isolierstofftrennwand 5 (in der Zeichnung angedeutet) einer Reihenklemme aufgenommen werden kann.The spacing of the tabs 2 from one another is chosen such that it corresponds to the spacing of the holes 4 in the busbars 3 of a terminal block arrangement. The length of the tab 2 is selected so that on the one hand they can be securely inserted into the busbars and on the other hand the corresponding one in the upper space between two tabs 2 Insulating partition 5 (indicated in the drawing) a terminal block can be added.

Es können aus einer Anreihung von Reihenklemmen völlig beliebige Reihenklemmen an die dem eingesetzten Querverbinder entsprechende Querverbindung angeschlossen werden. Für diejenigen Reihenklemmen der Anordnung, die nicht an diese Querverbindung angeschlossen werden, werden die entsprechenden Flachstecker 2 von der Querleiste 1 abgebrochen, was durch eine Sollbruchkante 6, die quer über den Flachstecker 2, parallel zur Längserstreckung der Querleiste 1, verläuft, erleichtert werden kann.From a series of terminal blocks, any number of terminal blocks can be connected to the cross connection corresponding to the cross connector used. For those terminal blocks of the arrangement that are not connected to this cross connection, the corresponding tabs 2 are broken off from the cross bar 1, which can be facilitated by a predetermined breaking edge 6, which runs across the tab 2, parallel to the longitudinal extent of the cross bar 1 .

Ferner sind Sollbruchkanten 7 vorgesehen, die sich in Verlängerung der Ansatzpunkte der Flachstecker 2 quer über die Querleiste 1 erstrecken und die es erleichtern, aus einem langen Querverbinderstück in einfacher Weise Querverbinder der jeweils gewünschten Polzahl abzubrechen.In addition, predetermined breaking edges 7 are provided which extend across the crossbar 1 as an extension of the attachment points of the flat plug 2 and which make it easier to break off cross connectors of the desired number of poles in a simple manner from a long cross connector piece.

Die Flachstecker 2 des Querverbinders sind ferner, ausgehend von ihrem unteren Ende, über einen erheblichen Teil ihrer Längserstreckung mit Längsschlitzen 8 versehen, so daß sie in ihren Einsteckbereichen eine Federwirkung haben. Dies erleichtert zunächst zusammen mit an ihren unteren Enden vorgesehenen Einsteckschrägen 9 das.Einstecken in die Langlöcher 4 der Stromschienen 3. Die Federwirkung trägt andererseits aber auch, und zwar in Verbindung mit kleinen im Einsteckbereich auf den Schmalkanten der Flachstecker 2 vorgesehenen Rastnoppen 10 dazu bei, die Flachstecker 2 und damit den Querverbinder insgesamt nach der Einsteckung in die Stromschienen 3 sicher in diesen zu halten. Die Rastnoppen 10 befinden sich in einer solchen Höhenlage an den Flachsteckern 2, daß sie nach dem Einstecken leicht schnappend unter die Stromschienen 3 greifen.The tabs 2 of the cross connector are also provided, starting from their lower end, over a considerable part of their longitudinal extent with longitudinal slots 8, so that they have a spring action in their insertion areas. This initially facilitates the insertion of the slanted holes 9 of the busbars 3 together with the insertion ends 9 provided at their lower ends. However, the spring action also bears, in conjunction with small ones in the insertion area on the narrow edges of the tabs 2 see locking knobs 10 to hold the tabs 2 and thus the cross connector as a whole after inserting them into the busbars 3. The locking knobs 10 are located at such an altitude on the tabs 2 that they snap under the busbars 3 after they have been inserted.

Der Querverbinder ist ferner mit einem Berührungsschutz in Form einer Schutzhülle 11 aus Isolierstoffmaterial versehen, um ihn gefahrlos handhaben zu können, was in diesem Fall besonders wichtig ist, da ja schon bei der allerersten Kontaktierung des Flachsteckers 2 mit der Stromschiene 3 einer Reihenklemme unter Umständen ein Strom fließen kann.The cross connector is also provided with a protection against accidental contact in the form of a protective sleeve 11 made of insulating material, in order to be able to handle it safely, which is particularly important in this case, since even under the very first contact of the flat connector 2 with the busbar 3 a terminal block may be present Electricity can flow.
