Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kontaktapparat zur Kontaktierung elektrischer Kabelleiter mit Sammelschienen, mit Kontaktfingern, die mittels Federn aufeinander zugedrückt und in einem Kunststoffgehäuse untergebracht sind.The invention relates to a contact apparatus for contacting electrical cable conductors with busbars, with contact fingers which are pressed together by means of springs and are accommodated in a plastic housing.

Kontaktapparate der eingangs genannten Art besitzen ein Kontaktapparatgehäuse, in dem mehrere einzelne Kontaktfinger sich gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind und mittels Federn aufeinanderzugedrückt werden. Die Federn sind an .den Innenflächen der Gehäuse befestigt und die einzelnen Kontaktfinger sind aufeinanderzubeweglich innerhalb des Gehäuses gelagert, wobei im Gehäuse Schlitze vorgesehen sind, die der Führung der einzelnen Kontaktfinger dienen. An dem Ende, an dem die Kontaktierung zu den Sammelschienen erfolgt, befindet sich im Gehäuse ein Schlitz, in dem die Kontaktierungsflächen der einzelnen Kontaktfinger hineinragen. Der Anschluss der Kontaktfinger am anderen Ende erfolgt in gleicher Weise wie an der Stelle, an der die Kontaktfinger mit den Stromschienen in Berührung gelangen (vergl. DE-AS 1 665 986).Contact apparatuses of the type mentioned at the outset have a contact apparatus housing in which a plurality of individual contact fingers are arranged opposite one another and are pressed together by means of springs. The springs are attached to the inner surfaces of the housings and the individual contact fingers are mounted within the housing to move towards one another, slots being provided in the housing which serve to guide the individual contact fingers. At the end at which contact is made with the busbars, there is a slot in the housing in which the contacting surfaces of the individual contact fingers protrude. The contact fingers are connected at the other end in the same way as at the point at which the contact fingers come into contact with the busbars (see DE-AS 1 665 986).

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Kontaktapparat der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem die Herstellung und der Zusammenbau mit mehreren Kontaktapparaten zwecks Anklemmung bzw. Kontaktierung mehrerer einzelner Phasen erleichtert ist.The object of the invention is to provide a contact apparatus of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which the manufacture and assembly with a plurality of contact apparatuses for the purpose of clamping or contacting a plurality of individual phases is facilitated.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst..According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäss also befindet sich in jedem einzelnen Kunststoffgehäuse jeweils ein Kontaktfingerpaar, welches am Ende der Anschlussfahne angeformt ist, wobei am anderen Ende der Anschlussfahne der Kabelleiter befestigt ist.According to the invention, therefore, there is a pair of contact fingers in each individual plastic housing, which is formed on the end of the connection lug, the cable conductor being attached to the other end of the connection lug.

Damit befinden sich innerhalb-eines einzigen Gehäuses nicht mehr mehrere nebeneinanderliegende Kontaktfinger und auch die Kontaktierung am kabelseitigen Ende ist anders. Zur Erzielung mehrpoliger bzw. mehrphasiger Kontaktapparate können so viel Gehäuse nebeneinander verbunden werden, wie erforderlich.This means that there are no longer several contact fingers lying side by side within a single housing and the contacting at the cable end is also different. As many housings can be connected side by side as required to achieve multi-pole or multi-phase contact devices.

Die Verbindung erfolgt mit den Massnahmen gemäss Anspruch 2. Dadurch ist es möglich, durch einfaches Ineinanderstecken der schwalbenschwanzartigen Ausformung in die schwalbenschwanzartige Ausnehmung zwei Gehäuse miteinander zu verbinden. An den miteinander in Berührung gelangenden Flächen befinden sich Rastmittel, die ein sicheres Zusammenhalten sicherstellen. Eine Führung erfolgt mittels angeformter Nocken und entsprechender Nuten.The connection is made with the measures according to claim 2. This makes it possible to connect two housings to one another simply by plugging the dovetail-like shape into the dovetail-like recess. There are locking devices on the surfaces that come into contact with one another, which ensure secure holding together. A guide takes place by means of molded cams and corresponding grooves.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den weiteren Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are the see further subclaims.

Anhand der Zeichnung sollen einige Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sowie weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Verbesserungen näher erläutert und beschrieben werden.Some exemplary embodiments of the invention and further advantageous refinements and improvements are to be explained and described in more detail with reference to the drawing.

In der Figur 1 ist ein Querschnitt durch ein Kunststoffgehäuse zusammen mit einer Anschlussfahne und daran angeschlossenem.Kabel dargestellt. Der Kontaktapparat besitzt in seiner Gesamtheit die Bezugsziffer 10 und setzt sich zusammen aus einem Kunststoffgehäuse 12, einer Anschlussfahne 14 und einer Klammer 16 zur Halterung der Anschlussfahne innerhalb des Gehäuses. Das Gehäuse 12 besitzt einen ersten, flachen Bereich 18 und einen gegenüber dem ersten Bereich 18 über eine keilförmige Erweiterung 20 verbundenen zweiten Bereich 22 grösserer Höhe, gegenüber dem ersten Bereich. Das Gehäuse besitzt einen durchgehenden Innenraum 24, in den die Anschlussfahne 14 in Pfeilrichtung F von hinten eingeschoben ist. Das vordere Ende des Kunststoffgehäuses besitzt einen Schlitz 26, in den zumindest teilweise Kontaktfinger (siehe weiter unten) hineinragen. An der Anschlussfahne ist ein Litzenkabel 28 über eine Klemmverbindung 30 befestigt. An den oberen und unteren Wänden ist ein mit einer senkrecht zu der Längsachse des Kunststoffgehäuses 12 verlaufende Wand 32 versehener Vorsprung 34 angeformt. Beide Vorsprünge 34 besitzen, wie aus der Figur 6 zu ersehen ist, je einen Schlitz 36, der zum Durchstecken einer nicht weiter dargestellten Schraube zur Befestigung des Gehäuses an einer Wand dient. Man erkennt in der Figur 6 den zweiten Abschnitt 22, der annähernd rechteckförmig ausgebildet ist. Die Vorsprünge 34 besitzen ferner noch Verstärkungsrippen 38.In Figure 1 is a cross section through a plastic housing together with a terminal lug and attached to it closed cable. The contact apparatus has the reference number 10 in its entirety and is composed of a plastic housing 12, a connecting lug 14 and a clip 16 for holding the connecting lug within the housing. The housing 12 has a first, flat area 18 and a second area 22 of greater height than the first area 18, connected via a wedge-shaped extension 20, relative to the first area. The housing has a continuous interior 24 into which the connecting lug 14 is inserted from the rear in the direction of the arrow F. The front end of the plastic housing has a slot 26, into which at least partially contact fingers (see below) protrude. A stranded cable 28 is fastened to the connection lug via a clamp connection 30. A projection 34 is formed on the upper and lower walls and provided with a wall 32 running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the plastic housing 12. As can be seen from FIG. 6, each of the two projections 34 has a slot 36, which is used to push a screw (not shown in more detail) for fastening the housing to a wall. 6 shows the second section 22, which is approximately rectangular. The projections 34 also have reinforcing ribs 38.

In den Figuren 2 bis 5 ist die Anschlussfahne 14 selbst dar- gestellt. Sie besitzt, wie man aus der Figur 2 ersehen kann, einen Flachbereich 40, dessen eines Ende zu Bildung von zwei Kontaktfingern 42 einen Schlitz 44 aufweist. Die aufeinanderzuweisenden Schlitzränder besitzen senkrecht nach oben verlaufende Randwände 26 und 48, die einen Abschnitt 50, der konvex nach innen weisend ausgebildet ist, und einen daran anschliessenden geraden Abschnitt 52 aufweisen. Auf diese Weise wird ein Bereich verengten Querschnittes zwischen den nach innen weisenden Flächen der Randwände gebildet, welche zur Kontaktierung mit nicht weiter dargestellten Sammelschienen dienen. Mittels einer Ringfeder 54, die mit ihren freien Enden gegen die Aussenfläche der beiden Randwände 48 und 46 drückt, werden die beiden durch den Schlitz 44 gebildeten Kontaktfinger 42 nach innen gedrückt.' The connection lug 14 itself is shown in FIGS. 2 to 5. As can be seen from FIG. 2, it has a flat area 40, one end of which has a slot 44 to form two contact fingers 42. The slot edges to be facing one another have vertically upwardly extending edge walls 26 and 48 which have a section 50 which is formed convex inward, and have a straight section 52 adjoining it. In this way, an area of narrowed cross section is formed between the inwardly facing surfaces of the edge walls, which serve to make contact with busbars, not shown. The two contact fingers 42 formed by the slot 44 are pressed inward by means of an annular spring 54, which presses with its free ends against the outer surface of the two edge walls 48 and 46. '

Etwa in der Mitte befindet sich, wie man aus der Figur 3 bzw. 4 besser erkennen kann, eine Ausbiegung 56, wodurch eine Ausnehmung 58 (auch an der anderen Längsseite vorhanden) gebildet ist, durch die die Klammer, die U-förmig ausgebildet ist, mit ihren Schenkeln hindurchgreift.Approximately in the middle, as can be seen more clearly from FIGS. 3 and 4, there is a bend 56, as a result of which a recess 58 (also present on the other longitudinal side) is formed, through which the clamp, which is U-shaped , reaches through with her thighs.

Das entgegengesetzte Ende besitzt Klemmfinger 60, die aufeinanderzugebogen werden, um die Litze 62 des Kabels 28 zu verklemmen (vergl. Fig. 5).The opposite end has clamping fingers 60 which are bent towards one another in order to clamp the strand 62 of the cable 28 (see FIG. 5).

Man erkennt, dass die Anschlussfahne im Bereich der Klemmverbindung 30 um einen Winkel.oC abgewinkelt ist. Dies dient der besseren Kabeleinführung.It can be seen that the connection lug in the area of the clamp connection 30 is angled by an angle .oC. This is for better cable entry.

Das Gehäuse, welches in der Figur 7 im Aufriss gezeigt ist, besitzt auf der einen Seite einen schwalbenschwanzartigen Vorsprung 64, der durch zwei schräg an der Seitenwand angeordnete, voneinander wegweisende Vorsprünge 66 und 68 gebildet ist. Auf der gegenüberliegenden-Wandfläche ist eine den Vorsprüngen 66 und 68 entsprechende Nut 70 angeformt. Die Vorsprünge 66 und 68 bzw. die Ausnehmung 70 besitzt eine Erstreckung in Richtung senkrecht zur Zeichenebene der Figur 7. Am unteren Ende sind die beiden Vorsprünge 66, 68 mittels einer Abschlusswand 72 einseitig abgeschlossen und die Ausnehmung 70 ist an dem entgegengesetzten Ende durch eine Ausnehmung 70 ebenfalls abgeschlossen. Man erkennt die Wände 72 und 74 in der Figur 6 durch die strichlierte Darstellung. Mittels der beiden Abschlusswände wird erreicht, dass bei einer Befestigung der beiden Gehäuse aneinander ein Durchfallen bzw. ein Auseinanderrutschen der beiden Gehäuse vermieden wird, indem sich die Vorsprünge 66 und 68 an der Wand 74 abstützen.The housing, which is shown in elevation in FIG. 7, has on one side a dovetail-like projection 64, which is formed by two projections 66 and 68 which are arranged obliquely on the side wall and point away from one another. A groove 70 corresponding to the projections 66 and 68 is formed on the opposite wall surface. The projections 66 and 68 and the recess 70 has an extension in the direction perpendicular to the drawing plane of FIG. 7. At the lower end, the two projections 66, 68 are closed on one side by means of an end wall 72, and the recess 70 is likewise closed off at the opposite end by a recess 70. The walls 72 and 74 can be seen in FIG. 6 by the broken line. It is achieved by means of the two end walls that when the two housings are fastened to one another, the two housings do not fall through or slide apart by the projections 66 and 68 being supported on the wall 74.

In den Figuren 9 und 10 erkennt man insgesamt vier mitein-- ander verbundene und aneinander befestigte Gehäuse 12.A total of four housings 12 which are connected to one another and fastened to one another can be seen in FIGS . 9 and 10.

Links an der Einheit gemäss der Figur 9 bzw. 10 ist ein Bauelement 80 angeschnappt, welches die Vorderkante des Kontaktapparates nach Figur 9 und 10 überragt und welches dazu dient, nicht weiter dargestellte Schott- bzw. Schutzwände in einem Schaltschrank beim Einführen der Kontaktapparate zu öffnen. Beispielsweise kann mit dem Bauelement 80 eine Klappe aufgedrückt werden, wie sie in der DE-OS ' 2 709 223 beschrieben ist, in dem die Spitze des Bauelementes auf die schräge Abkröpfung der Klappe nach der DE-OS 2 709 223 aufläuft und dadurch die Klappe verformt und öffnet.A component 80 is snapped to the left of the unit according to FIGS. 9 and 10, which projects beyond the front edge of the contact apparatus according to FIGS. 9 and 10 and which serves to open bulkhead or protective walls (not shown further) in a control cabinet when the contact apparatus is inserted . For example, the component 80 can be used to open a flap, as described in DE-OS '2 709 223, in which the tip of the component runs onto the oblique offset of the flap according to DE-OS 2 709 223 and thereby the flap deformed and opens.
