Abstract

The connecting pin has longitudinal sections (2, 3) of differing diameter, to engage with opposite sections of differing dimensions. The pin (1) has an upper end section (2) with a smaller diameter (D1) and a lower base section (3) with a larger diameter (D2). The upper end is longer than the base section. It is especially more than one and a half times longer, and preferably more than twice longer. The connector is a connection socket with larger and smaller diameters as before. The differing diameters are 4 mm and 4.7 mm.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Anschlussverbindungselement zum Anschließen einer elektrischen Energieversorgung an eine Rohr-Schweißschelle. Solche Schweißschellen werden über Kunststoffrohre oder Kunststoffrohr-Verbindungen gesetzt. Sie weisen an ihrer Innenseite Schweißvorrichtungen, beispielsweise Schweißdrähte auf, welche bei der Versorgung mit elektrischem Strom für eine dichte Schweißverbindung der Schelle mit dem Rohrstück, auf dem die Schelle sitzt, sorgt. Eine solche Verschweißung kann einfach der Verbindung zweier Rohre dienen, es ist aber auch möglich, durch das Aufsetzen einer Schweißstelle, die einen zusätzlichen Rohrabgang aufweist, ein durchgehendes Kunststoffrohr in einfacher Weise mit einer dicht eingebrachten Verzweigung zu versorgen.The present invention relates to a terminal connecting member for connecting an electric power supply to a pipe welding clamp. Such welding clamps are placed over plastic pipes or plastic pipe connections. They have on their inside welding devices, such as welding wires, which provides in the supply of electric current for a tight weld the clamp with the pipe section on which the clamp sits. Such welding can simply serve to connect two pipes, but it is also possible to supply a continuous plastic pipe in a simple manner with a tightly inserted branch by placing a weld, which has an additional pipe outlet.

Die Schweißvorrichtung in der Schweißschelle wird über Anschlussverbindungselemente mit elektrischem Strom versorgt. Solche Anschlussverbindungselemente sind nach dem Stand der Technik einfach Pin- oder Buchsenelemente, die einen einzigen Durchmesser aufweisen. Das Problem besteht nun darin, dass unterschiedliche elektrische Energieversorgungsgeräte auch unterschiedliche Anschlüsse an den Kabelenden aufweisen können, d.h. mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern. Ferner sorgen Normierungsbestrebungen dafür, dass sich solche Durchmesser ändern.The welding device in the welding clamp is supplied with electrical current via connection connecting elements. Such terminal connection elements are in the prior art simply pin or socket members having a single diameter. The problem now is that different electrical power supplies may also have different terminals at the cable ends, i. with different diameters. Furthermore, standardization efforts ensure that such diameters change.

Ein Anschlussverbindungselement mit Längsabschnitten unterschiedlicher Durchmesser ist aus GB-A-2 282 102 bekannt.A connection element with longitudinal sections of different diameters is made GB-A-2 282 102 known.

Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Anschlussverbindungselement zum Anschließen einer elektrischen Energieversorgung an eine Rohr-Schweißschelle bereit zu stellen, welches die Herstellung solcher Anschlüsse für verschiedenste Geräte möglich macht. Insbesondere soll vermieden werden, dass zur Verbindungsherstellung Adapter bereitgehalten werden müssen.It is an object of the present invention to provide a terminal connector for connecting an electrical power supply to a pipe welding collar, which makes it possible to manufacture such terminals for a variety of devices. In particular, it should be avoided that adapters must be kept ready for connection.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Anschlussverbindungselement gemäß dem Anspruch 1 gelöst. Die Unteransprüche beschreiben bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung.This object is achieved by a connection element according to claim 1. The subclaims describe preferred embodiments of the present invention.

Die Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Anschlussverbindungselements beruhen darauf, dass es Längsabschnitte unterschiedlicher Durchmesser für den Eingriff mit Gegenstücken unterschiedlicher Abmessungen aufweist. Dadurch wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, mit einem einzigen Verbindungselement den Anschluss elektrischer Energieversorgungsgeräte zu ermöglichen, die Schnittstellen unterschiedlicher Größe aufweisen. Der Eingriff zur Kontaktherstellung erfolgt jeweils an dem Längsabschnitt, der den geeigneten Durchmesser aufweist; es ist nicht mehr notwendig, Adapter bereitzuhalten.The advantages of the terminal connection element according to the invention are based on the fact that it has longitudinal sections of different diameters for engagement with counterparts of different dimensions. This creates the possibility to allow the connection of electrical power supply devices having interfaces of different sizes with a single connecting element. The engagement for making contact takes place respectively at the longitudinal portion, which has the appropriate diameter; it is no longer necessary to have adapters ready.

Das Anschlussverbindungselement gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die unterschiedlichen Durchmesser 4 mm und 4,7 mm betragen.The terminal connector according to the present invention is characterized in that the different diameters are 4 mm and 4.7 mm.

Das Verbindungselement kann ein Pin, also eine stiftartige Anschlussstelle sein. Wenn dies der Fall ist, so ist es möglich, den Pin so auszugestalten, dass er einen oberen Endabschnitt mit einem kleinen Durchmesser und einen unteren Basisabschnitt mit einem größeren Durchmesser aufweist. Das Gegenstück zum Pin wird dann, wenn es einen größeren Durchmesser aufweist, auf dem unteren Basisabschnitt fest aufsetzbar sein, wenn es einen kleiner Durchmesser aufweist, auf dem oberen Endabschnitt. Um einen sicheren Halt auch bei der Verwendung des Endabschnittes mit dem kleineren Durchmesser zu gewährleisten, besteht erfindungsgemäß ferner die Möglichkeit, den oberen Endabschnitt länger auszugestalten als den unteren Basisabschnitt, insbesondere mehr als eineinhalb mal, bevorzugt mehr als doppelt so lang.The connecting element may be a pin, so a pin-like connection point. If this is the case, it is possible to design the pin to have a small diameter upper end portion and a larger diameter lower base portion. The counterpart of the pin, if it has a larger diameter, will be firmly seated on the lower base portion, if it has a small diameter, on the upper end portion. In order to ensure a secure hold even when using the end portion with the smaller diameter, according to the invention is also possible to design the upper end portion longer than the lower base portion, in particular more than one and a half times, preferably more than twice as long.

Natürlich kann das Anschlusselement auch in umgekehrter Ausbildung zum Pin bereitgestellt werden, nämlich als eine Anschlussbuchse. Wenn dem so ist, empfiehlt es sich nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform, die Buchse mit einem oberen Endabschnitt mit einem größeren Durchmesser und mit einem unteren Basisabschnitt mit einem kleineren Durchmesser auszugestalten.Of course, the connection element can also be provided in the reverse configuration to the pin, namely as a connection socket. If so, it is recommended in a preferred embodiment, the socket with an upper end portion with a larger diameter and with a lower base portion with a smaller diameter to design.

Eine Kombination aller in dieser Beschreibung genannten Merkmale ist erfindungsgemäß möglich.A combination of all mentioned in this description features is possible according to the invention.

Die Erfindung wird im Weiteren anhand der einzigen beiliegenden Zeichnung erläutert, die einen Längsschnitt durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Anschlussverbindungselement zeigt.The invention will be explained below with reference to the single accompanying drawing, which shows a longitudinal section through an inventive connecting element.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Anschlusspin 1 dargestellt, der auf einer Schweißschelle sitzen kann, um diese mit elektrischer Energie zu versorgen. Der Anschlusspin 1 ist durch eine Schutzumhüllung 4 umgeben, die in der Regel aus demselben Material (z.B. PE 100) gefertigt ist wie die Schweißschelle, sonst aber aus einem flexiblen Kunststoff oder Gummi gefertigt sein kann. Der Anschlusspin 1 hat zwei Längsabschnitte, nämlich einen oberen Endabschnitt 2 und einen unteren Basisabschnitt 3. Diese beiden Abschnitte 2, 3 können jeweils der Herstellung eines elektrischen Kontakts dienen, beispielsweise indem eine Kontaktbuchse am Ende eines Kabels übergeschoben wird, das von einem elektrischen Energieversorgungsgerät her kommt.In the drawing, a connection pin 1 is shown, which can sit on a welding clamp to supply them with electrical energy. The terminal pin 1 is surrounded by a protective sheath 4, which is usually made of the same material (e.g., PE 100) as the welding collar, but otherwise may be made of a flexible plastic or rubber. The connection pin 1 has two longitudinal sections, namely an upper end section 2 and a lower base section 3. These two sections 2, 3 can each serve to establish an electrical contact, for example by a contact bushing being pushed over at the end of a cable coming from an electrical power supply unit comes.

Die Längsabschnitte 2, 3 des Pins 1 haben unterschiedliche Durchmesser, der Basisabschnitt 3 hat den größeren Durchmesser D2 4,7 mm, und der obere Endabschnitt hat den Durchmesser D1: 4 mm.The longitudinal portions 2, 3 of the pin 1 have different diameters, the base portion 3 has the larger diameter D2 4.7 mm, and the upper end portion has the diameter D1: 4 mm.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung können auf dem Pin 1 nunmehr zwei unterschiedliche Arten von Anschlussbuchsen aufgesteckt werden. Wenn die Anschlussbuchse beispielsweise den größeren Innendurchmesser D2 aufweist, wird sie über den oberen Endabschnitt 2 hinweg auf den unteren Basisabschnitt 4 gesteckt und kommt dort in Eingriff, um die elektrische Verbindung herzustellen. Falls die Anschlussbuchse den kleineren Innendurchmesser D1 aufweist, kann sie auf den oberen Endabschnitt 2 aufgesteckt werden, um dort den Eingriff und den Kontakt herzustellen. Der Endabschnitt 2 ist länger ausgestaltet als der Basisabschnitt 3, damit trotz des geringeren Durchmessers ein ausreichend sicherer Halt gewährleistet werden kann.Due to this configuration, two different types of connection sockets can now be plugged onto the pin 1. For example, if the female terminal has the larger inner diameter D2, it is pushed over the upper end portion 2 onto the lower base portion 4 and engaged there to make the electrical connection. If the terminal has the smaller inner diameter D1, it can be fitted on the upper end portion 2 to make the engagement and the contact there. The end portion 2 is designed to be longer than the base portion 3, so that despite the smaller diameter, a sufficiently secure grip can be ensured.
