Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Anschlußelement gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a connection element according to the preamble of claim 1.

Im DE-GM 93 13797 ist ein Anschlußblock zur Verbindung von isolierten elektrischen Leitern mit elektrischen Kontakten in Schneid-Klemm-Anschlußtechnik mittels eines Schließsteckers beschrieben, bei dem oben offene Kammern und Blöcke angeordnet sind, die mit durchgehenden Schneid-Klemm-Kontakten in 45 °-Stellung bestückt sind und die eine zweiseitige Beschaltung des Anschlußblockes ermöglichen. Die Beschaltung erfolgt auf der Anwenderseite mittels der zum Anschlußblock gehörenden Schließstecker.DE-GM 93 13797 describes a connection block for connecting insulated electrical conductors with electrical contacts in insulation displacement connection technology by means of a closing plug, in which open chambers and blocks are arranged at the top, with continuous insulation displacement contacts at 45 ° Position are equipped and the two-sided circuit of the Allow terminal block. The wiring is done on the user side by means of the locking plug belonging to the connection block.

Dabei erfolgt die Kontaktierung durch die Bewegung des Schließsteckers, der mit Fingerkraft durchgedrückt werden muß, was bei größeren Drahtdurchmessern und bei wiederholt hintereinander auszuführenden Be- oder Entschaltungen Zu Ermüdungserscheinungen des Bedienenden führen kann.The contact is made by the movement of the closing plug, which has to be pushed through with finger force, which can lead to signs of fatigue of the operator with larger wire diameters and with repeated connections or disconnections.

Von daher ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Anschlußelement der gattungsgemäßen Art zu entwickeln, welches eine leichte und zuverlässige Beschaltung ohne ein besonderes Schaltwerkzeug ermöglicht.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a connection element of the generic type which enables easy and reliable wiring without a special switching tool.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Die Einbringung eines von außen beweglichen Schiebeteils in die Kammer des Aufnahmeteils erfolgt derart, daß mit der Bewegung des Schiebeteils der von außen eingeführte elektrische Leiter in den Kontaktschlitz des Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelementes mitgeführt und dort kontaktiert wird. Dadurch ist eine einfache und zuverlässige Be- und Entschaltung der Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelemente sowohl von Trenn- als auch von Anschlußleisten ohne besonderes Schaltwerkzeug nur mit Hilfe eines beliebigen Hebels, z.B. eines Schraubendrehers, eines geeigneten spitzen Gegenstandes oder dgl., ohne größeren Kraftaufwand gewährleistet. Es können auch größere Drahtdurchmesser wiederholt an- und abgeschaltet werden, ohne daß der Schaltende durch die aufzuwendende Kraft ermüdet.The solution to this problem results from the characterizing features of claim 1. The introduction of an externally movable sliding part into the chamber of the receiving part is such that with the movement of the sliding part, the electrical conductor introduced from the outside into the contact slot of the insulation displacement contact element carried along and contacted there. This ensures a simple and reliable connection and disconnection of the insulation displacement contact elements of both isolating and connecting strips without a special switching tool, only with the aid of any lever, for example a screwdriver, a suitable pointed object or the like, without great effort . Larger wire diameters can also be switched on and off repeatedly without the switching end having to go through force to be tired.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

According to the illustration in FIG. 1, the connection element essentially consists of a receiving part 1, which is formed from the parts 27, 28, which are connected to one another via locking devices 29, 30, and in which a chamber 2 with two insulation displacement clamps Contact elements 7 is arranged, each of which is surrounded by a sliding part 6 such that the contacting areas for the cable wires a, b and a ', b' are enclosed by one of the sliding parts 6 and with the aid of which switching and disconnection takes place. The insulation displacement contact element 7 is preferably arranged in a 45 ° position. The side 14 of the connection element is designed to accommodate the connection or the separation device. The sliding part 6 has a funnel-shaped notch 12, via which the sliding part 6 is moved from the outside.

Zum Beschalten des Anschlußelementes wird mittels eines Hebels 5, z.B. eines Schraubendrehers, der über eine Öffnung 4 im Aufnahmeteil 1 in die Einkerbung 12 des Schiebeteils 6 eingebracht wird, das Schiebeteil 6 in die Beschaltungsposition I gebracht. In der Beschaltungsposition I liegen die Öffnung 3 im Aufnahmeteil 1, die Öffnung 11 der Kammer 2 und die Bohrung 9 des Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelementes 7 in Deckung zueinander, und es kann von außen ein elektrischer Leiter 15, z.B. die Kabelader a eines Fernmeldekabels, bis zu einer Anschlagwand 16 am Schiebeteil 6 eingeführt werden.To connect the connecting element, the sliding part 6 is brought into the wiring position I by means of a lever 5, for example a screwdriver, which is introduced into the notch 12 of the sliding part 6 via an opening 4 in the receiving part 1. In the wiring position I, the opening 3 in the receiving part 1, the opening 11 of the chamber 2 and the bore 9 of the insulation displacement contact element 7 are in register with one another, and an electrical conductor 15, for example the cable core a of a telecommunication cable, can be inserted up to a stop wall 16 on the sliding part 6.

Nach dem Einführen des elektrischen Leiters 15 in die Öffnung 3 des Aufnahmeteils 1 bis zum Anschlag an die Anschlagwand 16 wird das Schiebeteil 6 mittels des eingebrachten Hebels 5 nach links in die Position II bewegt. Dabei wird der eingeführte elektrische Leiter 15 aus der Bohrung 9 des Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelementes 7 in den Kontaktschlitz 10 des Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelementes 7 bewegt und mit diesem kontaktiert. In dieser Stellung II wird das Schiebeteil 6 in der Kammer 2 verrastet, um ein ungewolltes Lösen zu verhindern (nicht dargestellt). Beim Entschalten wird die Verrastung gelöst und das Schiebeteil in die erste Position I zurückgeführt. Dabei wird auch der Leiter 15 zurück in die Bohrung 9 des Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelementes 7 geführt, aus der der Leiter entnommen werden kann.After insertion of the electrical conductor 15 into the opening 3 of the receiving part 1 up to the stop on the stop wall 16, the sliding part 6 is moved to the left into position II by means of the lever 5 introduced. The inserted electrical conductor 15 is moved from the bore 9 of the insulation displacement contact element 7 into the contact slot 10 of the insulation displacement contact element 7 and contacted with it. In this position II, the sliding part 6 is locked in the chamber 2 in order to prevent unwanted loosening (not shown). When switching off, the latching is released and the sliding part is returned to the first position I. The conductor 15 is also guided back into the bore 9 of the insulation displacement contact element 7, from which the conductor can be removed.

In der Fig. 1 ist eine mögliche Ausführungsform des Anschlußelementes als Anschlußleiste gezeigt.1 shows a possible embodiment of the connection element as a terminal strip.

In der Fig. 2 ist das Anschlußelement für eine Trennleiste dargestellt. Diese Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich von der nach Fig. 1 nur in der Gestaltung des Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelementes 7 und der damit verbundenen konstruktiven Bedingungen im Trennbereich. Die Be- und Entschaltung von Kabeladern erfolgt nach dem anhand der Ausführungsform in Fig. 1 beschriebenen Funktionsprinzip.2, the connection element for a separating strip is shown. This embodiment differs from that of FIG. 1 only in the design of the insulation displacement contact element 7 and the associated structural conditions in the separation area. Cable wires are switched on and off according to the functional principle described with reference to the embodiment in FIG. 1.

In der Fig. 3 ist in einer Draufsicht die Verbindung mehrerer Anschlußelemente auf einer Leiste gezeigt, aus der insbesondere die Lage und die Gestaltung der Einkerbung 12 des Schiebeteils 6 ersichtlich ist. Es können beliebig viele Anschlußelemente aneinandergereiht werden, z.B. für eine 8 DA- oder 10 DA-Leiste werden acht bzw. zehn Anschlußelemente aneinandergereiht. Ein Anschlußelement dient dem Anschluß von einer Doppelader (DA).In Fig. 3, the connection of several connection elements on a bar is shown in a plan view, from which in particular the location and design of the Notch 12 of the sliding part 6 can be seen. Any number of connection elements can be strung together, for example, for an 8 DA or 10 DA strip, eight or ten connection elements are strung together. A connection element is used to connect a double wire (DA).

In der Fig.4 ist in einer Schnittdarstellung eine weitere Ausführungsform des Anschlußelementes mit Schiebeteil 6 dargestellt.4 shows a further embodiment of the connecting element with sliding part 6 in a sectional view.

In dieser Ausführungsform, die sich von der Ausführung nach den Fig. 1 bis 3 insbesondere durch die Gestaltung des Schiebeteils 6 unterscheidet, wird der elektrische Leiter 15 von oben in das Schiebeteil 6 eingesteckt. Dazu ist das Schiebeteil 6 mit einem Hebelarm 26 bis zu einer Anschlagkante 17 nach rechts gezogen. Bei dieser Stellung des Schiebeteils 6 sind die Öffnung 11 im Schiebeteil 6 und die Bohrung 9 im Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelement 7 deckungsgleich. Der elektrische Leiter 15 kann bis zur Anschlagwand 18 eintauchen. Die Anschlagwand 18 am Aufnahmeteil 1 bestimmt damit die Einstecktiefe für den elektrischen Leiter 15. Nach dem Einführen des elektrischen Leiters 15 in das Schiebeteil 6 wird das Schiebeteil 6 mittels des Hebelarmes 26 bis in die in der Fig.4 gezeigte Stellung nach links gezogen. Damit ist eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen dem Leiter 15 und dem Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelement 7 über den Kontaktschlitz 10 hergestellt.In this embodiment, which differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 in particular by the design of the sliding part 6, the electrical conductor 15 is inserted into the sliding part 6 from above. For this purpose, the sliding part 6 is pulled to the right with a lever arm 26 up to a stop edge 17. In this position of the sliding part 6, the opening 11 in the sliding part 6 and the bore 9 in the insulation displacement contact element 7 are congruent. The electrical conductor 15 can be immersed up to the stop wall 18. The stop wall 18 on the receiving part 1 thus determines the insertion depth for the electrical conductor 15. After the electrical conductor 15 has been inserted into the sliding part 6, the sliding part 6 is pulled to the left by the lever arm 26 into the position shown in FIG. An electrical connection between the conductor 15 and the insulation displacement contact element 7 is thus established via the contact slot 10.

Das für diese Ausführungsform verwendete Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelement 7 ist entsprechend der Darstellung in den Fig. 5 und 6 anwenderseitig mit einem geschlossenen Schnneid-Klemm-Kontakt 19 und von der Betreiberseite mit einem herkömmlichen Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 20 versehen.The insulation displacement contact element 7 used for this embodiment is provided on the user side with a closed insulation displacement contact 19 on the user side and with a conventional insulation displacement contact 20 on the operator side.

Der Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 20 mit dem Kontaktschlitz 21 ist über einen Verbindungssteg 22 mit dem geschlossenen Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 19 einstückig verbunden. Der Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 20 und der geschlossene Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 19 sind jeweils in 45°-Stellung zum Verbindungssteg 22 ausgebildet (Fig.6). Der geschlossene Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 19 ist selbsttragend, er ist im Schiebeteil 6 freitragend angeordnet. Nach dem Kontaktieren mit dem elektrischen Leiter 15 muß sich der Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 19 nicht im bzw. am Schiebeteil 6 abstützen, die auftretenden Kontaktierungskräfte werden vom Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 19 selbst abgefangen.The insulation displacement contact 20 with the contact slot 21 is connected in one piece to the closed insulation displacement contact 19 via a connecting web 22. The insulation displacement contact 20 and the closed insulation displacement contact 19 are each formed in a 45 ° position relative to the connecting web 22 (FIG. 6). The closed insulation displacement contact 19 is self-supporting, it is self-supporting in the sliding part 6. After contacting the electrical conductor 15, the insulation displacement contact 19 need not be supported in or on the sliding part 6, the contacting forces which occur are intercepted by the insulation displacement contact 19 itself.

Der Schneid-Klemm-Kontakt 19 besteht aus einem Kontaktschlitz 10 mit der tropfenförmig ausgeführten Bohrung 9 zur Aufnahme des elektrischen Leiters 15 und mit einer Bohrung 8 zur definierten Gestaltung der Kontaktierungskraft. Das Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelement 7 weist an seinem Ende des weiteren einen Abgriff 23 zur Verbindung des Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktelementes 7 mit einem Prüfmittel, z.B. einer Prüfklemme, auf.The insulation displacement contact 19 consists of a contact slot 10 with the drop-shaped bore 9 for receiving the electrical conductor 15 and with a bore 8 for the defined design of the contacting force. The insulation displacement contact element 7 also has a tap 23 at its end for connecting the insulation displacement contact element 7 to a test device, e.g. a test clamp.

Der Kontaktschlitz 10 des Schneid-Klemm-Kontaktes 19 ist insbesondere durch Einführungsschrägen 24 im inneren Bereich der Bohrung 9 und durch Materialaussparungen im Bereich 25 des Kontaktschlitzes 10 zwischen den Bohrungen 9,8, so ausgestaltet, daß die Kräfte, welche zum Kontaktieren mit dem elektrischen Leiter 15 benötigt werden, optimiert sind.The contact slot 10 of the insulation displacement contact 19 is in particular by chamfers 24 in inner area of the bore 9 and through material cutouts in the area 25 of the contact slot 10 between the bores 9, 8, so configured that the forces which are required for contacting the electrical conductor 15 are optimized.
