Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cross connector for terminal blocks, consisting of a connecting web on which spacers extending at predetermined distances from the terminal blocks to their busbars are arranged above predetermined breaking points, the cross connector being equipped with screws held by the spacers.
  • Such preassembled cross connectors for terminal blocks have the advantage of simplifying assembly compared to non-preassembled individual elements with which a cross connection can be made.
  • a pre-assembled cross connector of this type only the screws need to be screwed into the corresponding threaded bores in the busbar of the affected terminal block after the pre-assembled cross connector has been placed on the arrangement of the affected terminal blocks. Spacers that are not required correspond to those terminal blocks that should not be brought to the potential in question len are canceled at the predetermined breaking point.
  • the connecting web is a connecting strip which practically completely fills the receiving space provided in the terminal blocks, and the attached spacers are formed from two downward-pointing tabs which together form a sleeve which is open at two locations, wherein the tab deformation is driven so far that these sleeve-shaped parts resiliently rest against the screw inserted through a hole in the connecting strip.
  • the result is a complicated bent and stamped part.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a cross connector of the generic type, which is particularly easy to manufacture and assemble to create the desired cross connections.
  • the solution according to the invention is that the spacers are approximately L-shaped tabs, in the short cross leg below the screws are arranged, and that the screws pass through them from above fende holder provided with a screwdriver opening are held captive, the holder being connected on the top side to a common connecting strip.
  • the metallic connecting web with the attached L-shaped spacers is a particularly easy to produce bent and stamped part, which is all the easier since it only has the simple plug-in openings with regard to the mounting of the screws, but otherwise it does not with regard to the captive mounting of the screws Function. Rather, this is done by the attached, located on a common connecting bar holder. Their installation is in turn a very simple assembly process, because this can be done with the help of the joint strip common to them.
  • the screws sit at the bottom in the short crossbars of the L-shaped tabs, i.e. screws with a very short shaft can be used and in any case it is guaranteed that under no circumstances will any plastic area of the affected person with the screwing force Terminal block can be applied.
  • the screw head presses directly and immediately only over the short cross leg of the L-shaped bracket onto the busbar of the terminal block concerned.
  • the connecting web is a narrow grip strip
  • the The connecting strip of the holder is designed as a sleeve made of insulating material surrounding the grip strip.
  • the design of the connecting web as a narrow grip ledge means that it only fills one side of the receptacle usually provided in the terminal blocks for such cross connectors, while the other side of the receptacles still remains free. If necessary, another cross connector can be used here, so that a terminal block arrangement can be switched to two different potentials.
  • the design of the connecting strip of the holder as an insulating sleeve surrounding the metallic grip strip has the advantage that the connecting strip provided for the holder also forms reliable insulation for the metallic connecting web.
  • the assembly of the pre-assembled cross connector is also very easy. You can, for example, automatically drop the screws into the short cross legs of the L-shaped spacers and then simply connect the connecting bar with the attached L-shaped tabs and the screws located therein from below into the insulating material part, consisting of the sleeve-shaped connecting strip and the attached holders, slide, the brackets then sitting over the screws.
  • the cross connector has a narrow, metallic grip strip 1 as a connecting web running across the row terminal blocks, on each of which spacers are arranged on their lower side via predetermined breaking points 2 are, which are designed as L-shaped (Fig. 2) tabs 3.
  • the L-shaped tabs 3 extend so far down that they reach in the respective terminal blocks up to their busbars, on which the cross connector is fixed.
  • Very short screws 6 can be used in this embodiment.
  • the screwing force is transmitted directly via the screw head to the cross leg 4 and to the busbar of the affected terminal block directly underneath.
  • the screwing force itself does not exert any torsional or deformation force on the L-shaped tab 3, especially not if its bottom area is at least the same size as the screw head.
  • the screwing force applied for fixing can in no way be transferred to an adjacent plastic area of the terminal block concerned.
  • the screws 6 are to be held captively in the cross legs 4 of the brackets 3.
  • holders 8 made of insulating material are provided for each of the tabs 3 and thus for each of the screws 6, which are formed in one piece with a common connecting strip in the form of a sleeve 9.
  • the holders 8 hang with their one upper edge (see FIG. 2) on one lower edge of the sleeve 9.
  • the sleeve 9 is designed so that it can completely accommodate the metallic handle 1, so that the metallic handle 1 is protected against contact.
  • connection area 10 between the holders 8 and the casing 9 is so narrow that this connection area can also be referred to as a predetermined breaking point. If necessary, there is therefore the possibility not only of breaking off the undesired L-shaped tabs 3 from the grip strip 1 via the predetermined breaking point 2, but also of the associated holders 8 from the casing 9 via the predetermined breaking point 10.
  • the individual holders 8 are hollow hollow parts in cross section. Its lower area is open at the bottom and forms a receiving space 11 with a rectangular cross section the heads of the screws 6. At the top there is a screwdriver opening 12 which opens into the receiving space 11 and which is circular in cross section and is dimensioned such that it also forms a screwdriver guide which facilitates the screwing in of the screws.
  • the diameter of the screwdriver opening 12 is at the same time dimensioned such that the screw 6 with its screw head cannot fall out here.
  • receiving slots 13 are also provided in the sheath 9 serving as a connecting strip for the holders 8 in the region of the dividing walls of the terminal blocks in a row of terminal blocks. These are dimensioned in such a way that they receive the upper area of these partition walls with a slight clamping effect. It is thus possible with an overhead arrangement to give the cross connector a secure hold against falling down even on the row terminal block if no screw is screwed into a busbar of a terminal block.
  • the cross connector is assembled in a simple manner by first inserting the screws 6 into the cross legs 4 of the tabs 3 and then the metallic area, consisting of the connecting web or the handle strip 1 and the attached tabs 3 with the screws 6 inserted, is inserted into the separate one-piece plastic part, consisting of the casing 9 with the holders 8, after which the holders 8 then overlap the screw heads 6 and hold them captively.
  • a plurality of latching openings 14 are expediently provided in the handle bar 1, and latching knobs 15 are formed on the inner walls of the sleeve 9 at corresponding points, which snap into the latching openings 14 in the assembled state to grab.
  • the grip bar 1 with its casing 9 fills only one side of this receiving space.
  • the handle bar of a second cross connector of this type with the L-shaped brackets in mirror image to each other, could be used.
  • the terminal blocks of such a series could be brought to two mutually different potentials.
  • two such cross connectors with their grip strips facing each other so that there is a double cross connection for the terminal blocks, in which case all the terminal blocks concerned are connected to both cross connectors. This would make such a cross-connection loadable, for example, with the full nominal current of the terminal blocks.
