Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verbindungselement zum Verbinden von Einzelschützen zu einer Schützkombination.The invention relates to a connecting element for Connection of single shooters to a contactor combination.

Verbindungselemente für Schützkombinationen gehören seit geraumer Zeit zum Lieferprogramm von Schützherstellern. Bei den hierzu verwendeten Schützen sind die Magnetkammern mit Nuten, z.B. Schwalbenschwanznuten oder T-Nuten ausgeprägt. Die bekannten Verbindungselemente sind im Bereich von Hutschienenbefestigungen der Schütze positioniert. Auf diese Weise werden die Verbindungselemente gegen Herausfallen fixiert. Bei Verschraubung der Geräte auf einer Grundplatte ist ein Herauswandern der Verbindungselemente bis zur Grundplatte möglich.Connecting elements for contactor combinations have been around for quite some time Time for the delivery program of contactor manufacturers. Both contactors used for this are the magnetic chambers with grooves, e.g. Pronounced dovetail grooves or T-grooves. The well-known Fasteners are in the area of DIN rail fastenings the shooter positioned. That way the connecting elements fixed against falling out. at The devices are screwed onto a base plate Move the connecting elements out to the base plate possible.

Die zunehmende Miniaturisierung der Schütze, insbesondere die Reduzierung der Baubreite, bringt es mit sich, daß durch die Platzverhältnisse in der Magnetkammer die mögliche Positionierung der Koppelstelle eingeschränkt wird. Wird die Koppelstelle außerhalb des Eingriffsbereichs der Hutschiene gewählt, muß ein Herauswandern des Verbindungselements zuverlässig verhindert werden.The increasing miniaturization of shooters, especially the Reduction in width, it brings with it that through the Space in the magnetic chamber the possible positioning the coupling point is restricted. Will the coupling point selected outside the area of engagement of the DIN rail, migration of the connecting element must be reliable be prevented.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verbindungselement zu schaffen, bei dem unabhängig von der Position in der Magnetkammer der Schütze und unabhängig von der Befestigungsart, z.B. Hutschienenbefestigung oder Aufschrauben auf einer Grundplatte, ein Herauswandern zuverlässig verhindert wird. Die Aufgabe wird durch ein Verbindungselement mit den Merkmalen nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. The invention has for its object a connecting element to create, regardless of the position in the Magnetic chamber of the contactors and regardless of the type of mounting, e.g. DIN rail fastening or screwing on one Base plate, migration is reliably prevented. The task is through a connecting element with the Features solved according to claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Verbindungselements sind den Unteransprüchen 2 und 3 zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the connecting element are the Subclaims 2 and 3.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

FIG 1
eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Verbindungselements und
FIG 2
das Verbindungselement gemäß FIG 1 nach Verrastung in einem Einzelschütz.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to a drawing. Show it:
FIG. 1
a perspective view of a connecting element and
FIG 2
the connecting element according to FIG 1 after latching in a single contactor.

In FIG 1 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Verbindungselements 1 zum Verbinden von Einzelschützen zu einer Schützkombination dargestellt. Das Verbindungselement 1 weist T-förmige Eingriffsabschnitte 2 auf. Im Kopfbereich 3 ist das Verbindungselement 1 mit zwei federnden Schenkeln 4 ausgeführt, an deren Außenflächen Rastnasen 5 angeformt sind. Der Abstand a der Eingriffsabschnitte 2 ist dem Montageabstand der Einzelschütze angepaßt.In Figure 1 is a perspective view of a connecting element 1 for connecting single contactors to a contactor combination shown. The connecting element 1 has a T-shaped Engagement sections 2 on. In head area 3 it is Connection element 1 with two resilient legs 4, Lugs 5 are formed on the outer surfaces. The Distance a of the engagement sections 2 is the mounting distance the individual shooter adjusted.

FIG 2 zeigt ein Verbindungselement 1 im verrasteten Zustand in einem Einzelschütz 6, von dem hier nur ein Teilbereich wiedergegeben ist. Die Koppelstelle befindet sich hier außerhalb der Hutschienenbefestigung 7 des Einzelschützes, das zur Ankopplung des Verbindungselements 1 eine angepaßt gestaltete Eingriffsnut 8 aufweist, die demzufolge auch T-förmig ausgebildet ist. Das Verbindungselement 1 ist hier nach Einschub in die Eingriffsnut 8 über seine Rastnasen 4 an einer Gehäusekontur 9 des Einzelschützes 6 verrastet. Sowohl zum Einschub wie auch zur Demontage ist die Ausbildung mit den federnden Schenkeln 4 wichtig. Zur Demontage der Schützkombination wird das Verbindungselement 1 im Kopfbereich 3 mit einer Zange gegriffen und aus den Eingriffsnuten 8 der Magnetkammern der Einzelschütze 6 herausgezogen. Bei diesem Vorgang wird die Verrastung des Verbindungselements 1 automatisch entriegelt.2 shows a connecting element 1 in the locked state in a single contactor 6, of which only a partial area is reproduced. The coupling point is here outside the DIN rail mounting 7 of the single contactor, the one adapted for coupling the connecting element 1 designed engagement groove 8, which is consequently also T-shaped is trained. The connector 1 is here after insertion into the engagement groove 8 via its locking lugs 4 a housing contour 9 of the single contactor 6 locked. Either the training is included for insertion and disassembly the resilient legs 4 important. For dismantling the contactor combination the connecting element 1 in the head region 3 gripped with pliers and from the engaging grooves 8 of Magnetic chambers of the individual contactors 6 pulled out. With this The process of locking the connecting element 1 becomes automatic unlocked.

Je nach Montageabstand der Einzelschütze wird das Verbindungselement 1 mit entsprechend angepaßten Abstand a zwischen seinen Eingriffsabschnitten 2 ausgeführt.Depending on the mounting distance of the individual contactors, the connecting element 1 with a correspondingly adjusted distance a between its engagement sections 2 executed.

Obwohl die vorliegende Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die in der beigefügten Zeichnung dargestellte Ausführungsform erläutert ist, sollte berücksichtigt werden, daß damit nicht beabsichtigt ist, die Erfindung nur auf die dargestellte Ausführungsform zu beschränken, sondern alle möglichen Änderungen, Modifizierungen und äquivalente Anordnungen, soweit sie vom Inhalt der Patentansprüche gedeckt sind, einzuschließen.Although the present invention with reference to the in of the accompanying drawing illustrated embodiment is, it should be borne in mind that this is not intended is, the invention only to the illustrated embodiment to limit, but all possible changes, Modifications and equivalent arrangements insofar as they are from Contents of the claims are covered.
