Abstract

The bus system has connectors (5) provided at the ends of the electrical conductors of serially connected electrical modules (1, 2). A pluggable connecting bridge (11) including conducting bridge units connects the connectors of the adjacent modules. The connectors are designed as directly pluggable terminals with the clamping springs for connection with the bridge units. An unlocking device detaches the bridge units from the springs. The adjacent modules are connected mechanically by a profiled bar, which is parallel to the bridge units, and a dual tongue and groove connection between the adjacent modules.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Busmodulsystem aus aneinander reihbaren Modulen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a bus module system consisting of modules which can be connected to one another according to the preamble of claim 1.

Busmodulsysteme aus aneinander reihbaren Modulen sind aus dem Stand der Technik in verschiedensten Ausführungsformen bekannt, so aus der DE 299 16 303 U1 oder der EP 95 113 730 A1 .Bus module systems of modules which can be connected to one another are known from the prior art in a wide variety of embodiments, as shown in FIG DE 299 16 303 U1 or the EP 95 113 730 A1 ,

Typischerweise besteht ein derartiges Busmodulsystem aus einem Gateway und daran angereihten weiteren Modulen, wobei mittels einer Elektronikschaltung eine Signalanpassung zwischen einem übergeordneten Feldbussystem und den an die Module anschließbaren Feldgeräten wie Aktoren, Initiatoren oder dgl. erfolgt.Typically, such a bus module system consists of a gateway and further modules connected thereto, whereby by means of an electronic circuit a signal adaptation takes place between a higher-level fieldbus system and the field devices connectable to the modules, such as actuators, initiators or the like.

Nach einer vielfach eingesetzten Bauform sind die Module ähnlich wie Reihenklemmen auf Tragschienen aufrastbar und aneinanderreihbar.After a widely used design, the modules are similar to terminal blocks on mounting rails latched and lined up.

Von Modul zu Modul verläuft ein interner Busleiter mit einer oder mehreren Busadern, wobei die Busleiter der zueinander benachbarten Module beim Aneinanderreihen der Module miteinander verbunden werden müssen. Ein derartiger interner Busleiter umfasst eine beliebige Anzahl von Versorgungs- und/oder Signal- bzw. Datenleitungen.From module to module runs an internal bus conductor with one or more bus wires, wherein the bus conductors of the mutually adjacent modules in the juxtaposition of the modules must be connected to each other. Such an internal bus conductor comprises any number of supply and / or signal or data lines.

Zur Verbindung der Busleiter benachbarter bzw. aneinandergereihter Module ist es nach dem Stand der Technik bekannt, die einzelnen Leiter des Busleiters z.B. über Steck- und Buchsenkontakte oder Busschieber miteinander zu verbinden. Ergänzend ist aber oftmals noch eine zusätzliche mechanische Verbindung benachbarter Module über separat zu betätigende bzw. handhabende Rast- oder Koppelelemente notwendig (siehe z.B. die DE 299 16 303 U1 ).To connect the bus conductors of adjacent or juxtaposed modules, it is known in the prior art to connect the individual conductors of the bus conductor, for example via plug and socket contacts or bus shifter with each other. In addition, however, often an additional mechanical connection of adjacent modules via separately operated or handling latching or coupling elements necessary (see for example the DE 299 16 303 U1 ).

Die Erfindung hat demgegenüber die Aufgabe, eine Verbindung benachbarter Module zu realisieren, die bei Einsatz einer werkzeugfreien Anschlusstechnik insbesondere auch auf einfache Weise wieder zu lösen sein soll. Darüber hinaus soll nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform auch eine zuverlässige mechanische Verbindung benachbarter Module ohne weitere Betätigungen realisiert werden.The invention has the object to realize a connection of adjacent modules, which should be to be solved again in particular when using a tool-free connection technology in a simple manner. In addition, according to a preferred embodiment, a reliable mechanical connection of adjacent modules without further operations are realized.

Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1.The invention achieves this goal by the subject matter of claim 1.

Danach sind die Anschlussvorrichtungen jeweils als Direktsteckklemmen mit Klemmfedern zum werkzeugfreien Beschalten mit den leitenden Brückenelementen ausgebildet und an der Verbindungsbrücke ist wenigstens eine Entriegelungsvorrichtung zum Lösen mehrerer der leitenden Brückenelemente aus den jeweils zugeordneten Klemmfedern der Anschlussvorrichtungen angeordnet.Thereafter, the connection devices are each designed as direct plug-in terminals with clamping springs for tool-free wiring with the conductive bridge elements and at the connecting bridge is at least one unlocking device for releasing a plurality of the conductive bridge elements from the respectively associated clamping springs of the connection devices arranged.

Diese Lösung bietet den Vorteil des einfachen Beschaltens durch Einsatz von Direktsteckklemmen und einer kompakten Verbindungsbrücke sowie des werkzeugfreien Lösens bzw. Entschaltens mittels einer übergreifenden Entriegelungsvorrichtung für vorzugsweise alle Klemmstellen einer Seite der aneinander gereihten und miteinander zu verbindenden Module.This solution offers the advantage of simple wiring through the use of direct plug-in terminals and a compact connection bridge and the tool-free release or disconnection by means of a cross-release device for preferably all terminal points one side of the juxtaposed and interconnected modules.

Vorzugsweise weist die Entriegelungsvorrichtung wenigstens eine oder zwei schwenkbare Bügelwippen zum direkten oder indirekten Einwirken auf die Klemmfedern auf.Preferably, the unlocking device has at least one or two pivotable swing paddles for direct or indirect action on the clamping springs.

Zwar sind Direktsteckklemmen an sich bekannt, nicht aber das vorteilhafte gleichzeitige Freigeben mehrerer dieser Direktsteckklemmen mittels einer Wippe, die direkt auf die Klemmfedern der Direktsteckklemmen einwirkt oder indirekt auf zwischen der Wippe und den Klemmfedern angeordnete Betätigungsdrücker. Diese Lösung ist einerseits leicht handhabbar und andererseits dennoch preiswert realisierbar.Although direct plug-in terminals are known per se, but not the advantageous simultaneous release of several of these direct plug-in terminals by means of a rocker which acts directly on the clamping springs of the direct plug-in terminals or indirectly arranged between the rocker and the clamping springs actuation lever. On the one hand, this solution is easy to handle and, on the other hand, it is still inexpensive to realize.

Vorzugsweise liegen zwei Längsschenkel der Bügelwippen an Nocken auf den Modulen auf, um die sie verschwenkbar sind. Dabei ist es wiederum vorteilhaft, wenn die Nocken zur Auflage der Bügelwippen auf den Modulen derart angeordnet sind, dass neben dem Lösen der Brückenelemente aus den Klemmstellen auch ein Anheben der leitenden Brückenelemente aus den Klemmstellen erfolgt. Derart wird vorteilhaft eine Doppelfunktion realisiert, die sowohl das Freigeben der leitenden Brückenelemente in den Klemmstellen als auch gleichzeitig das Anheben der leitenden Brückenelemente aus den Klemmstellen umfasst, was die Handhabung beim Entschalten mit einer Bewegung in einer Richtung besonders vereinfacht.Preferably, two longitudinal legs of the shackle rockers are on cams on the modules about which they are pivotable. In this case, it is again advantageous if the cams for supporting the paddle shafts on the modules are arranged such that in addition to the release of the bridge elements from the clamping points and a lifting of the conductive bridge elements from the terminal points takes place. Such a double function is advantageously realized, which includes both the release of the conductive bridge elements in the terminal points and at the same time lifting the conductive bridge elements from the terminal points, which simplifies handling when switching off with a movement in one direction.

Vorteilhaft ergänzt wird die Erfindung durch wenigstens einen bevorzugt parallel zu den Längsschenkeln der Brückenelemente verlaufenden Profilsteg, der in Ausnehmungen in den benachbarten Modulen eingreift, so dass auch ein mechanischer, die Anordnung stabilisierender Formschluss zwischen den benachbarten Modulen realisiert ist.Advantageously, the invention is complemented by at least one profile web extending preferably parallel to the longitudinal limbs of the bridge elements, which engages in recesses in the adjacent modules, so that a mechanical, the arrangement stabilizing positive engagement between the adjacent modules is realized.

Besonders bevorzugt ist der Profilsteg an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils mit einem Nutprofil versehen, wobei jeweils eines der Nutprofile in eine korrespondierend geformte Nutausnehmung von jeweils einem der beiden benachbarten Module eingreift, so dass über eine doppelte Nut-Federverbindung zwischen den Modulen und dem Profilsteg eine stabile ergänzende Formschlussverbindung zwischen den benachbarten Modulen ohne die Notwendigkeit weiterer Betätigungen realisiert ist.Particularly preferably, the profile web is provided on two opposite sides each with a groove profile, wherein each one of the groove profiles engages in a correspondingly shaped Nutausnehmung of one of the two adjacent modules, so that a double tongue and groove connection between the modules and the profile web a stable complementary positive connection between the adjacent modules is realized without the need for further operations.

Dabei ist es auf einfache Weise auch möglich, dass mittels verschiedener Formgebungen am Profilsteg und den Ausnehmungen eine Kodierfunktion verwirklicht ist.It is also possible in a simple manner that a coding function is realized by means of various shapes on the profile web and the recesses.

Die Busbrücke kann nicht nur als eine reine Überleitung bzw. Durchleitung von Bussignale bzw. der Spannungsversorgung genutzt werden, sondern darüber hinaus optional noch zusätzliche elektronische Bauelemente aufnehmen wie z.B.: Sicherungen (für Absicherung gegenüber Fehlbedienung), LEDs (z.B. für Statusanzeige oder Reset). Es können ferner auch beliebige andere elektrische Funktionen in das Bauteil integriert werden.The bus bridge can not only be used as a pure transfer or transit of bus signals or the power supply, but also optionally also accommodate additional electronic components such as: fuses (for protection against incorrect operation), LEDs (for example for status display or reset). Furthermore, any other electrical functions can also be integrated into the component.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den übrigen Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous embodiments can be found in the remaining subclaims.

Die Direktsteckklemmen 5 - siehe Fig. 3a - 3c - bestehen jeweils aus einem einseitig offenen Metallkäfig 6, der auch als Stromschiene fungieren kann und einer im Metallkäfig 6 angeordneten u- oder v-förmigen Klemmfeder 7, deren einer Schenkel 8 am Metallkäfig 6 befestigt ist und deren anderer Schenkel als Klemmschenkel 9 dient, mit dem ein Leiter 10 mit Druck innen gegen den Metallkäfig 6 oder eine Stromschiene am Metallkäfig drückbar ist, um einen elektrischen Kontakt zwischen dem Leiter 10 und dem Metallkäfig 6 und/oder einer separaten Stromschiene zu realisieren, die wiederum leitend mit dem internen Busleiter 21 verbunden ist.The direct male terminals 5 - see Fig. 3a - 3c - each consist of a metal cage open on one side 6, which can also act as a busbar and arranged in a metal cage 6 u- or v-shaped clamping spring 7, one leg 8 is fixed to the metal cage 6 and whose other leg serves as clamping leg 9, with which a conductor 10 with pressure inside against the metal cage 6 or a bus bar on the metal cage can be pressed to realize an electrical contact between the conductor 10 and the metal cage 6 and / or a separate busbar, which in turn is conductively connected to the internal bus conductor 21.

Zum Verbinden der mehreren Anschlussvorrichtungen benachbarter Module 1, 2 dient eine übergeordnete Verbindungsbrücke 11.For connecting the plurality of connection devices of adjacent modules 1, 2, a higher-level connection bridge 11 is used.

Diese Verbindungsbrücke 11 besteht einerseits aus mehreren leitenden, vorzugsweise u-förmigen Brückenelementen 12 aus Stromschienen, die parallel zueinander ausgerichtet an einem hier plattenartigen Grundkörper 13 mit einem Griffstück 17 angeordnet sind. Die einzelnen leitenden Brückenelemente 12 dienen jeweils zur Verbindung von zwei Anschlussvorrichtungen benachbarter Module 1, 2.This connecting bridge 11 consists on the one hand of a plurality of conductive, preferably U-shaped bridge elements 12 of busbars, which are aligned parallel to each other on a plate-like base body 13 with a handle 17 are arranged. The individual conductive bridge elements 12 each serve to connect two connection devices of adjacent modules 1, 2.

Die zueinander parallelen Längsschenkel 14 der Brückenelemente 12 sind dabei derart voneinander beabstandet und angeordnet, dass die freien Enden der Längsschenkel 14 (in der beispielhaften Stellung der Fig. 1) senkrecht von oben werkzeugfrei in die Direktsteckklemmen 5 drückbar sind, wobei sie die Klemmschenkel 9 beiseite drücken, so dass eine leitende Verbindung in den Klemmstellen 20 zum Metallkäfig 6 realisiert wird.The mutually parallel longitudinal legs 14 of the bridge elements 12 are spaced apart and arranged such that the free ends of the longitudinal legs 14 (in the exemplary position of Fig. 1) can be pressed from the top tool-free in the Direktsteckklemmen 5, wherein the clamping legs 9 aside to press, so that a conductive connection is realized in the clamping points 20 to the metal cage 6.

Ergänzend wird hier noch eine mechanische Verbindung zwischen den benachbarten Modulen 1, 2 realisiert, und zwar mittels Formschluss über einen parallel zu den Längsschenkeln 14 der Brückenelemente verlaufenden Profilsteg 15 (siehe insbesondere Fig. 1), der hier mittig zwischen den Längsschenkeln 14 angeordnet ist und an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils mit einem Nutprofil 16 versehen ist, wobei jeweils eines der Nutprofile 16 in eine korrespondierend geformte Nutausnehmung 27 von einem der beiden benachbarten Module 1, 2 eingreift, so dass über eine doppelte Nut-Federverbindung zwischen den Modulen 1, 2 und dem Profilsteg 15 eine ergänzende mechanische Formschlussverbindung zwischen den benachbarten Modulen 1, 2 realisiert wird.In addition, here still a mechanical connection between the adjacent modules 1, 2 is realized, by means of positive engagement via a parallel to the longitudinal legs 14 of the bridge elements extending profile web 15 (see in particular Fig. 1), which is here centrally between the longitudinal legs 14 and is provided on two opposite sides each with a groove profile 16, wherein each one of the groove profiles 16 engages in a correspondingly shaped Nutausnehmung 27 of one of the two adjacent modules 1, 2, so that a double tongue and groove connection between the modules 1, 2 and the profile web 15 a complementary mechanical positive connection between the adjacent modules 1, 2 is realized.

Diese Nut-Federverbindung stellt eine die Konstruktion mechanisch stabilisierende Option dar und kann eine beliebige Formgebung aufweisen. Ergänzend kann sie eine Kodierfunktion übernehmen, wenn verschiedene Module verschiedene Nutformen aufweisen (hier nicht dargestellt).This tongue and groove joint is a mechanical stabilizing option and may be of any shape. In addition, it can take over a coding function if different modules have different groove shapes (not shown here).

Zum Lösen der Brückenelemente 12 aus den Klemmstellen 20 dienen hier zunächst Drückelemente 18, wobei jeder Anschlussvorrichtung 6 eines der Drückelemente 18 zugeordnet ist. Diese Drückelemente 18 sind im Klemm- bzw. Metallkäfig 6 oberhalb der Klemmschenkel 9 in Leitereinführrichtung (in der beispielhaften Gebrauchsstellung der Fig. 1 senkrecht) bewegbar gelagert und wirken auf den Klemmschenkel 9 ein, um diesen zum Entschalten von den Längsschenkeln 14 der Brückenelemente 12 zu lösen.To release the bridge elements 12 from the clamping points 20 serve here first pressing elements 18, wherein each connecting device 6 is assigned to one of the pressing elements 18. These pressing elements 18 are movably mounted in the clamping or metal cage 6 above the clamping legs 9 in the conductor insertion direction (perpendicular in the exemplary position of use of FIG. 1) and act on the clamping legs 9 in order to disengage them from the longitudinal legs 14 of the bridge elements 12 to solve.

Um eine synchrone Betätigung aller Drückelemente 18 zu gewährleisten, sind am Grundkörper 13 an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Grundkörpers Bügelwippen 19 schwenkbar gelagert, die in Draufsicht ebenfalls eine U-Form aufweisen und den Grundkörper 13 seitlich von einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Module 1, 2 her einfassen. Die beiden Längsschenkel 23 dieser Bügelwippen 19 sind an den Seiten des Grundkörpers 13 schwenkbar gelagert.In order to ensure a synchronous operation of all pressing elements 18, the rocker arms 19 are pivotally mounted on the base body 13 on two opposite sides of the body, which also have a U-shape in plan view and the base body 13 laterally from opposite sides of the modules 1, 2 ago , The two longitudinal legs 23 of this bracket rockers 19 are pivotally mounted on the sides of the base body 13.

Die Grundschenkel 24 der Bügelwippen sind dabei oberhalb der Drückelemente 18 angeordnet (Fig. 2a, 3a), so dass beim Herunterdrücken der Bügelwippen 19 die Grundschenkel 24 derselben direkt oder wie hier dargestellt über untere Nocken 25 die Betätigungsdrücker 18 in Richtung der Klemmschenkel drücken, wodurch die Leiter 10 bzw. Längsschenkel 14 in den Klemmstellen 20 feigegeben werden (Fig. 2b, 3b).The base legs 24 of the swing jacks are arranged above the pressing elements 18 (FIGS. 2 a, 3 a), so that upon depression of the swing jacks 19, the base legs 24 of the same directly or as shown here via lower cam 25 the Press actuating push button 18 in the direction of the clamping legs, whereby the conductor 10 or longitudinal legs 14 in the clamping points 20 are cowards (Fig. 2b, 3b).

Derart ist eine synchrone Betätigung aller Betätigungsdrücker bzw. - drücker 18 und ein Lösen aller Klemmschenkel bzw. Klemmfedern gewährleistet. Dies wird im Zusammenspiel der Fig. 2a bis 2c und 3a - 3c veranschaulicht.In this way, a synchronous actuation of all the actuation levers or - presser 18 and a release of all clamping legs or clamping springs is guaranteed. This is illustrated in the interaction of FIGS. 2a to 2c and 3a-3c.

Da die beiden Längsschenkel 23 der Bügelwippen 19 ergänzend an zwei weiteren Nocken 26 auf den Modulen 1, 2 bzw. deren Gehäusen aufliegen, wird neben dem Lösen der Brückenelemente 12 aus den Klemmstellen 20 in vorteilhafter Weise auch gewährleistet, dass die leitenden Brückenelemente 12 aus den Klemmstellen 20 angehoben werden (Fig. 2b, Fig. 3b) und am Griffstück 17 entnommen werden können (Fig. 2b,c; Fig. 3b,c).Since the two longitudinal legs 23 of the jacks 19 additionally rest on two further cams 26 on the modules 1, 2 and their housings, in addition to the release of the bridge elements 12 from the clamping points 20 is advantageously ensured that the conductive bridge elements 12 from the Clamping points 20 are raised (Fig. 2b, Fig. 3b) and on the handle 17 can be removed (Fig 2b, c, Fig 3b, c).

Die Längsschenkel 23 der Bügelwippen sind in sich gestuft bzw. L-förmig aufgebaut, wobei die zweiten Nocken 26 als Drehlager an einer tieferen Stelle am Modulgehäuse der Module 1, 2 aufliegen als die ersten Nocken 25 auf den Betätigungsdrückern 18. Drehlager sind damit die zweiten Nocken 26, während die ersten Nocken 25 als Betätigungsansätze für die Betätigungsdrücker 18 fungieren.The longitudinal legs 23 of the shackle rockers are stepped in or L-shaped, wherein the second cam 26 as a pivot bearing at a lower point on the module housing of the modules 1, 2 than the first cam 25 on the actuating levers 18th pivot bearing are thus the second Cam 26, while the first cam 25 act as actuation lugs for the actuating handle 18.

Die Bügelwippen 19 realisieren also in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung sowohl das Lösen der Brückenelemente 12 aus den Klemmstellen 20 bzw. das Entschalten als auch das Anheben der Brückenelemente 12 aus den Klemmstellen 20. Sie stellen damit eine übergreifende Entriegelungsvorrichtung für die Leiter in den Klemmstellen 20 der Anschlussvorrichtungen an einem Ende des internen Busleiters eines Moduls 1, 2 dar.Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the shackle rockers 19 realize both the release of the bridge elements 12 from the clamping points 20 and the disengagement and the lifting of the bridge elements 12 from the clamping points 20. They thus provide an overall unlocking device for the conductors in the clamping points 20 of the connection devices one end of the internal bus conductor of a module 1, 2 represents.

Bei vereinfachten Ausführungsformen können die Bügelwippen 19 auch nur die Entschaltungsfunktion übernehmen. Denkbar ist es z.B., dass die Lagerung der Bügelwippen 19 nicht jeweils an zwei Nocken 25, 26 erfolgt sondern dass diese in einer einzigen Nocke zusammenfallen (hier nicht dargestellt).In simplified embodiments, the ironing jacks 19 can only take over the de-switching function. It is conceivable, for example, that the mounting of the bow-type rockers 19 does not take place in each case on two cams 25, 26 but that they coincide in a single cam (not shown here).

Bevorzugt wird aber die mehrfunktionale Ausgestaltung mit zwei Nocken 25, 26.But preferred is the multi-functional design with two cams 25, 26th

Anzumerken ist noch, dass die Funktion der separaten Betätigungsdrücker 18 bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung der ersten Nocken auch in diese integrierbar ist. Bei einem derartigen Ausführungsbeispiel würden sich dann die ersten Nocken 25 direkt bis an die Klemmstellen heran erstrecken (hier nicht dargestellt).It should also be noted that the function of the separate actuating push-button 18 can also be integrated into this with appropriate design of the first cam. In such an embodiment, the first cams 25 would then extend directly to the clamping points (not shown here).
