Abstract

Der Schneidverbinder hat an seinem Kontaktteil (1) zwei Kontaktmesser (2) und (3) mit Schneidkanten, mit denen die Isolierung des zwischen sie gedrückten elektrischen Leiters unter elektrischer Kontaktgabe durchschnitten wird. Auf dem Kontaktmesser (2) ist als Betätigungsglied ein U-förmiges Biegeteil (4) drehbar gelagert, das je nach Drehlage die Kontaktmesser oberseitig und unterseitig mehr oder weniger weit umgreift und das zwei Mitnahmeöffnungen (5) hat, durch die der einzudrückende isolierte elektrische Leiter gesteckt werden kann. Das Betätigungsglied selbst sowie seine Betätigungsbewegung erfordern auf diese Weise nur sehr wenig Raum. Für die Drehlagerung des Betätigungsgliedes wird eines der Kontaktmesser selbst benutzt.The cutting connector has on its contact part (1) two contact blades (2) and (3) with cutting edges, with which the insulation of the electrical conductor pressed between them is cut through making electrical contact. On the contact knife (2) a U-shaped bent part (4) is rotatably mounted as an actuator, which, depending on the rotational position, engages around the contact knife more or less far on the top and bottom and has two driving openings (5) through which the insulated electrical conductor to be pressed in can be inserted. The actuator itself and its actuation movement require very little space in this way. One of the contact blades itself is used for the rotary mounting of the actuator.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schneidverbinder mit zwei den Leiter zwischen sich aufnehmenden Kontaktmessern und einem relativ dazu beweglichen, mit Mitnahmeöffnungen für den isolierten Leiter versehenen Betätigungsglied.The invention relates to a cutting connector with two contact blades receiving the conductor between them and an actuating member that is movable relative to it and provided with driving openings for the insulated conductor.

Derartige Schneidverbinder sind im Zusammenhang mit Reihenklemmen bekannt geworden (DE-PS 29 02 536). Bei den dortigen Schneidverbindern sind die Betätigungsglieder aus elektrisch isolierendem Material bestehende Schwenkhebel oder Schieber, die am Isolierstoffgehäuse der Reihenklemme gelagert oder geführt sind. Die Betätigungsglieder ermöglichen es dabei, den isolierten elektrischen Leiter in die Leiteraufnahme zwischen den beiden Kontaktmessern unter Zerschneigung der Isolierung und leichter Anquetschung der metallischen Leiterseele hineinzudrücken und die so erstellte Kontaktverbindung auch wieder zu lösen.Such cutting connectors are known in connection with terminal blocks (DE-PS 29 02 536). In the cutting connectors there, the actuators are pivoting levers or sliders made of electrically insulating material, which are mounted or guided on the insulating housing of the terminal block. The actuators make it possible to press the insulated electrical conductor into the conductor receptacle between the two contact knives while bending the insulation and slightly squeezing the metallic conductor core, and also to detach the contact connection thus created.

Die bekannte Ausgestaltung und Anordnung der Betätigungsglieder erfordert jedoch einen relativ großen Raum, der für viele Anwendungsfälle nicht zur Verfügung steht. Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schneidverbinder der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, der einen sehr geringen Platzbedarf hat und auf geringstem Raum zu betätigen ist.However, the known design and arrangement of the actuators requires a relatively large space, which is not available for many applications. The present invention is therefore based on the object of creating a cutting connector of the generic type which requires very little space and can be operated in the smallest space.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht darin, daß das Betätigungsglied ein auf einem der Kontaktmesser drehbar gelagertes, je nach Drehlage die Kontaktmesser mehr oder weniger weit umgreifendes und ein Betätigungselement aufweisendes Formteil ist. Die Lagerung des Betätigungsgliedes auf einem der Kon-' taktmesser selbst und die Anordnung des Formteiles um das bzw. die Kontaktmesser herum ergeben einen Schneidverbinder mit minimalem Raumbedarf, da in diesem Fall das Formteil lediglich mit seinem äußeren Verbindungsbereich zwischen den oberhalb und den unterhalb des Kontaktmessers liegenden Formteilzonen und in der Offenstellung des Schneidverbinders mit der die beiden Mitnahmeöffnungen für den isolierten Leiter aufweisenden Formteilbereich über die Kontaktmesser vorsteht, wobei auch die Drehbewegung des Betätigungsgliedes im Verhältnis zu der Kontaktmessererstreckung nur minimal Platz benötigt. Bei einem derartigen Schneidverbinder vergrößert das Betätigungsglied den sowieso erforderlichen Raum für die Kontaktmesser nur unwesentlich.The solution according to the invention is that the actuating member is a molded part which is rotatably mounted on one of the contact knives and, depending on the rotational position, more or less encompasses the contact knives and has an actuating element. The mounting of the actuating member on one of the contact knives themselves and the arrangement of the molded part around the contact knife or knives result in a cutting connector with minimal space requirement, since in this case the molded part only has its outer connection area between the above and the underneath the contact knife lying molded part zones and in the open position of the cutting connector with the molded part area having the two driving openings for the insulated conductor protruding beyond the contact blades, the rotary movement of the actuating element also requiring only minimal space in relation to the contact blade extension. With such a cutting connector, the actuating member increases the space required for the contact blades only insignificantly.

Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil besteht darin, daß für die Drehlagerung des Betätigungsgliedes nun nicht mehr Isolierstoffgehäusebereiche erforderlich sind. Hierdurch ist der Anwendungsbereich eines derartigen Schneidverbinders erheblich vergrößert. So ist es insbesondere möglich, eine längere Anschlußleiste mit einer Mehrzahl von Anschlußstellen an den einzelnen Anschlußstellen jeweils als derartige Schneidverbinder auszugestalten.Another significant advantage is that the rotary bearing of the actuator no longer requires insulating housing areas. As a result, the area of application of such a cutting connector is considerably enlarged. In particular, it is possible to design a longer terminal block with a plurality of connection points at the individual connection points as such cutting connectors.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen eines derartigen Schneidverbinders sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet. Diese geben besondere bauliche Ausgestaltungen an, die zum geringen Raumbedarf des Schneidverbinders und zu seinem besonders einfachen konstruktiven Aufbau beitragen.Further preferred configurations of such a cutting connector are characterized in the subclaims. These indicate special structural designs that contribute to the small space requirement of the cutting connector and to its particularly simple construction.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines derartigen Schneidverbinders wird nachstehend unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügte Zeichnung beschrieben.An embodiment of such a cutting connector is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Es zeigen

  • Figur 1 einen derartigen Schneidverbinder in perspektivischer Darstellung,
  • Figur 2 einen Teilschnitt durch den Schneidverbinder nach Figur 1.
Show it
  • FIG. 1 shows such a cutting connector in a perspective view,
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial section through the cutting connector according to FIG. 1.

Der dargestellte Schneidverbinder hat an.seinem Kontaktteil 1 zwei Kontaktmesser 2 und 3, die an ihren einander zugewandt und gegenüberliegenden Kanten als Schneidkanten ausgebildet sind, deren Abstand so bemessen ist, daß die Isolierung des zwischen sie gedrückten Leiters aufgeschnitten wird und es unter leichter Verquetschung der . metallischen Seele des Leiters zu der gewünschten Kontaktgabe kommt.The cutting connector shown has on his contact part 1 two contact blades 2 and 3, which are formed on their mutually facing and opposite edges as cutting edges, the distance of which is dimensioned such that the insulation of the conductor pressed between them is cut open and it is slightly squeezed . metallic soul of the conductor comes to the desired contact.

Auf dem einen Kontaktmesser 2 ist nun ein Betätigungsglied 4 drehbar gelagert. Das Betätigungsglied 4 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als U-förmiges Biegeteil ausgebildet, das je nach Drehlage die Kontaktmesser oberseitig und unterseitig mehr oder weniger weit umgreift.An actuator 4 is now rotatably mounted on the one contact knife 2. The actuator 4 is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a U-shaped bent part which, depending on the rotational position, encompasses the contact blades on the upper and lower sides to a greater or lesser extent.

In dem in der Offenstellung des Betätigungsgliedes 4 vor dem Kontaktmesser 2 liegenden Bereich (siehe Figur 1) befinden sich in den beiden Schenkeln des U-förmigen - Biegeteiles 4, fluchtend zueinander, die beiden Mitnahmeöffnungen 5, durch die der zwischen die Kontaktmesser 2, 3 zu drückende, isolierte Leiter gesteckt werden kann.In the area lying in front of the contact knife 2 in the open position of the actuating member 4 (see FIG. 1), in the two legs of the U-shaped bent part 4, aligned with one another, are the two driving openings 5, through which the between the contact knives 2, 3 insulated conductors to be pressed can be inserted.

Im oberhalb des Kontaktmessers 2 liegenden Schenkel des U-förmigen Biegeteiles 4 befindet sich angrenzend an die Mitnahmeöffnung 5 als Betätigungselement für das Betätigungsglied eine Schraubendreheröffnung 6. Das Betätigungsglied 4 kann somit in denkbar einfacher Weise mittels eines Schraubendrehers in seine Schließlage und auch wieder zurück in seine Offenstellung gedreht werden.In the leg of the U-shaped bent part 4 lying above the contact knife 2 there is a screwdriver opening 6 adjacent to the driving opening 5 as the actuating element for the actuating element Open position can be rotated.

Für die Drehlagerung ist in denkbar einfacher Weise, wie insbesondere aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, in dem Kontaktmesser 2 ein Loch 7 vorgesehen, während der unterhalb des Kontaktmessers 2 liegende Schenkel des U-förmigen Biegeteiles eine zapfenartige Einprägung 8 aufweist, die als Drehlager in das Loch 7 eingreift.For the rotary bearing, a hole 7 is provided in the contact knife 2 in a very simple manner, as can be seen particularly in FIG. 2, while the leg of the U-shaped bent part lying below the contact knife 2 has a peg-like impression 8, which acts as a rotary bearing in the hole 7 engages.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ferner auf dem Kontaktmesser 3 eine Rastnase 9 angeprägt, für die an entsprechender Stelle in dem oben liegenden Schenkel des U-förmigen Biegeteiles 4 eine Rastaus- nehmung 10 vorgesehen ist. Die Anordnung ist so getroffen, daß das Betätigungsglied 4 in der Schließstellung, d. h. bei zwischen die Kontaktmesser 1 und 2 eingedrücktem Leiter, zur zusätzlichen Sicherheit verrastet ist, ohne daß die Rastwirkung so stark wäre, daß hierdurch das Öffnen des Kontaktes mittels eines Schraubendrehers behindert wäre.In the exemplary embodiment shown, a detent 9 is also stamped on the contact knife 3, for which a detent 10 is provided at a corresponding location in the upper leg of the U-shaped bent part 4. The arrangement is such that the actuator 4 in the closed position, ie. H. when the conductor is pressed in between the contact blades 1 and 2, it is locked for additional security, without the locking effect being so strong that the opening of the contact by means of a screwdriver would be impeded.

In Figur 1 ist ein einzelner Schneidverbinder dargestellt. Aufgrund der geschilderten Ausgestaltung ist es ohne weiteres möglich, beispielsweise eine lange Anschlußleiste mit einer Mehrzahl von Anschlüssen an den einzelnen Anschlußstellen als derartige Schneidverbinder auszugestalten. Die Kontaktmesser 2, 3 wären dann Teile einer derartigen Anschlußleiste, wie es in Figur 1' punktiert als Möglichkeit angedeutet ist.In Figure 1, a single cutting connector is shown. Because of the configuration described, it is readily possible, for example, to design a long terminal strip with a plurality of connections at the individual connection points as such cutting connectors. The contact blades 2, 3 would then be parts of such a terminal strip, as indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1 'as a possibility.

Mit zu einer Betätigung auf engstem Raum trägt auch bei, daß zumindest das das Betätigungsglied 4 tragende Kontaktmesser 2 eine dem Schwenkradius des Betätigungsgliedes 4 entsprechend gerundete Außenkante hat, so daß das Betätigungsglied 4 bei der Überführung von seiner Offenstellung in die Schließstellung mit Eindrückung des Leiters zwischen die Kontaktmesser 2 und 3 so eng wie möglich um die Außenkante des Kontaktmessers 2 herumzuführen ist.With an actuation in a confined space also contributes to the fact that at least the contact knife 2 carrying the actuating element 4 has an outer edge which is rounded in accordance with the pivoting radius of the actuating element 4, so that the actuating element 4 during the transfer from its open position into the closed position with the conductor being pressed in between the contact knives 2 and 3 are to be guided as closely as possible around the outer edge of the contact knife 2.
