Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Reihenklemmenblock gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a terminal block according to the preamble of claim 1.

In der modernen Gebäudeinstallation werden für die Energieverteilung sog. Haupt- und Unterverteiler entsprechende VDE 0660 Teil 500/504 und Kleinverteiler entsprechend VDE 0608 Teil 1 eingesetzt.In modern building installation, so-called. Main and sub-distributors corresponding to VDE 0660 part 500/504 and small distributors accordingly VDE 0608 part 1 used.

Kleinverteiler nach VDE 0603 und Unterverteiler nach VDE 0660 Teil 504 sind maßlich nach DIN 43 871 und DIN 43 880 ausgelegt. Danach beträgt die Einbautiefe für Geräte 47 mm und der Reihenabstand von parallelen Gerätereihen 125 mm.Small distributors according to VDE 0603 and sub-distributors according to VDE 0660 part 504 are dimensionally designed according to DIN 43 871 and DIN 43 880. Then the installation depth for Devices 47 mm and the row spacing of parallel device rows 125 mm.

Die in Klein- und Unterverteilern für die Verdrahtung von Drehstromkreisen bisher bekannten sog. Dreileiterklemmen sind unter Berücksichtigung der vorgegebenen maximalen Einbaumaße und der zwischen den einzelnen Anschlußleitern einzuhaltenden Kriech- und Luftstrecken bisher auf Leiteranschlüsse im Querschnittsbereich bis maximal 2,5 mm feindrähtige Leiter beschränkt. Für Drehstromkreise bis zu diesem Querschnittsbereich werden in der Praxis also zwei mehrstöckige Reihenklemmen, von denen eine als sog. Dreileiterklemme ausgebildet ist, benötigt.So far in small and sub-distributors for the wiring of three-phase circuits Known so-called three-wire terminals are taking into account the specified maximum Installation dimensions and those to be observed between the individual connection conductors Up to now, creepage distances and clearances on conductor connections in the cross-sectional area up to a maximum 2.5 mm fine-stranded conductors limited. For three-phase circuits up to this In practice, the cross-sectional area becomes two multi-level terminal blocks, one of which is designed as a so-called three-wire terminal.

Mehretagige Reihenklemmen, wie z.B. Dreileiterklemmen für Anschlußquerschnitte von 4 mm und mehr, benötigen zur Einhaltung der erforderlichen Kriech- und Luftstrecken Isoliergehäuse, deren Baumaße den in Kleinverteilern zur Verfügung stehenden Einbauraum bei weitem übersteigen.Multi-level terminal blocks, e.g. Three-wire terminals for connection cross-sections of 4 mm and more, need to maintain the required creepage distances and clearances Insulated housing, the dimensions of which are available in small distributors Exceed installation space by far.

Derartige Drehstromkreise in diesem Querschnittsbereich bestehen deshalb bisher aus insgesamt fünf Reihenklemmen, von denen drei für die Leiter L1 bis L3 und je eine für den PE-Leiter bzw. N-Leiter vorgesehen sind. Ein aus fünf Einzelklemmen bestehender Klemmenblock weist naturgemäß eine beachtliche Anreihbreite auf und beansprucht deshalb auch einen relativ großen Bereich des innerhalb der Verteiler zur Verfügung stehenden Einbauraumes.Such three-phase circuits in this cross-sectional area have therefore been made up to now A total of five terminal blocks, three for the conductors L1 to L3 and one for each the PE conductor or N conductor are provided. One consisting of five individual terminals Terminal block naturally has a considerable baying width and is stressed therefore a relatively large area of available within the distributor standing installation space.

Zur Beseitigung dieser Nachteile und zur Verringerung der Materialkosten wird vorgeschlagen, auch bei Drehstromkreisen mit Anschlußleitungen von mehr als 2,5 mm Querschnitt, zumindest bei einem Teil der erforderlichen Klemmen, mehretagige Reihenklemmen einzusetzen. To overcome these disadvantages and to reduce material costs, it is proposed that also for three-phase circuits with connecting cables of more than 2.5 mm Cross-section, at least for some of the required terminals, multi-level terminal blocks use.

Ein derartiger Reihenklemmenblock ist aus der DE-U 74 26 768 bekannt. Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, diesen gattungsgemäßen Reihenblock derart weiterzuentwikkeln, daß sämtliche Leiteranschlüsse bequem nutzbar sind.Such a terminal block is known from DE-U 74 26 768. The invention has the task of developing this generic row block in such a way that all conductor connections are easy to use.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Reihenklemmenblock des Anspruches 1.The invention solves this problem by the terminal block of claim 1.

Da die oberen Leiteranschlüsse mit einer abgeschrägten Leitereinführung versehen sind, sind auch die oberen Leitungen wie die unteren Leitungen bequem einsteckbar.Because the upper conductor connections are provided with a chamfered conductor entry are, the upper lines as well as the lower lines can be easily inserted.

Für einen Drehstrom-Stromkreis mit insgesamt fünf Leitern, wovon drei stromführend sind, werden statt fünf Reihenklemmen drei erforderlich. Bei Wechselstrom statt drei Reihenklemmen wie bisher, nun nur noch zwei.For a three-phase circuit with a total of five conductors, three of which are live are required instead of five terminal blocks. With alternating current instead of three Terminal blocks as before, now only two.

Nach einem vorteilhaften Gedanken der Erfindung werden die Leiteranschlüsse als Zugfederanschlüsse ausgebildet, wobei deren Betätigung parallel zur Leitereinführung erfolgt.According to an advantageous concept of the invention, the conductor connections are as Tension spring connections formed, their actuation parallel to the conductor entry he follows.

Ferner kann vorgesehen sein, daß der untere Leiteranschluß eine nach oben hin offene Leitereinführung aufweist, wodurch ein einfaches und bequemes Einführen und Festsetzen des Leiters möglich ist.It can also be provided that the lower conductor connection is open at the top Has conductor entry, which makes easy and convenient insertion and fixing of the leader is possible.

Denkbar ist es auch, eine Leiter-Kennzeichnung direkt am Leitereinlaß vorzusehen, so daß ein freier Blick unmittelbar auf die Kennzeichnung gewährleistet ist. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.It is also conceivable to provide a conductor marking directly at the conductor inlet, so that a clear view of the label is guaranteed. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims characterized.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying Drawing described.

Die einzige Figur zeigt einen erfindungsgemäßen Klemmenblock in einer schematischen Explosivdarstellung mit angeschlossenen Schutzorganen.The single figure shows a terminal block according to the invention in a schematic Exploded view with connected protective devices.

In der Figur sind drei Reihenklemmen 2,7,8 dargestellt, die direkt nebeneinanderliegend einen Klemmenblock 1 bilden. Dabei sind die Reihenklemmen 2,7,8 auf einer Tragschiene 13 festgelegt.In the figure, three terminal blocks 2,7,8 are shown, which are directly adjacent to one another form a terminal block 1. The terminal blocks are 2,7,8 on one Support rail 13 set.

Die beiden oberen Reihenklemmen 2,7 weisen jeweils zwei übereinanderliegende Leiteranschlüsse 3,5 und 9,11 auf, während die untere Reihenklemme 8 lediglich einen oberen Leiteranschluß 12 besitzt.The two upper terminal blocks 2.7 each have two superimposed ones Conductor connections 3.5 and 9.11, while the lower terminal block 8 only has an upper conductor terminal 12.

Die oberen Leiteranschlüsse 3,9,12 sind mit einer abgeschrägten Leitereinführung versehen, so daß die Leitungen L3, L1 und N ebenso von oben bequem einsteckbar sind wie die in die unteren Leiteranschlüsse 5,11 eingesteckten Leitungen L2 und PE. Sämtliche Leiteranschlüsse sind dabei als Zugfederanschlüsse ausgebildet und parallel zur Leitereinführung von oben betätigbar.The upper conductor connections 3,9,12 are with a chamfered conductor entry provided so that the lines L3, L1 and N can also be easily inserted from above are like the lines L2 and inserted into the lower conductor connections 5, 11 PE. All conductor connections are designed as tension spring connections and Can be operated from above parallel to the conductor entry.

Die Leiteranschlüsse 3,5 der oberen Reihenklemme 2 finden ihre gegenüberliegende Entsprechung in den Leiteranschlüssen 4,6, deren Verdrahtungen mit jeweils zugeordneten Schutzorganen 14 verbunden sind.The conductor connections 3.5 of the upper terminal block 2 find their opposite Correspondence in the conductor connections 4, 6, the wiring of which is assigned in each case Protective organs 14 are connected.

In diesem Sinne weist auch die mittlere Reihenklemme 7 dem Leiteranschluß 9 gegenüberliegend einen die innere Verdrahtung aufnehmenden Leiteranschluß 10 auf, dessen Leitereinführung ebenso wie die des Leiteranschlusses 4 schräg verläuft.In this sense, the middle terminal block 7 also has the conductor connection 9 a conductor connection 10 accommodating the internal wiring lies opposite on, the conductor entry as well as that of the conductor connection 4 runs obliquely.

Der in die Reihenklemme 7 eingesteckte PE-Leiter steht in Verbindung mit einer sämtliche Reihenklemmen 2,7,8 aufnehmenden Tragschiene 13.The PE conductor plugged into the terminal block 7 is connected to a all DIN rail mounting terminal blocks 2,7,8.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte untere Reihenklemme 8 mit ihrem oberen Leiteranschluß 12 ist für den N-Leiter vorgesehen.The lower terminal block 8 shown in the drawing with its upper conductor connection 12 is provided for the N conductor.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt die Anordnung eines Klemmblocks 1 für einen Drehstromkreis. Denkbar ist aber auch, einen erfindungsgemäßen Klemmblock für einen Wechselstromkreis einzusetzen, wobei dann auf die Reihenklemme 2 verzichtet wird.The exemplary embodiment shows the arrangement of a terminal block 1 for a three-phase circuit. However, it is also conceivable for a terminal block according to the invention for one Use AC circuit, then the terminal block 2 is omitted.
