Abstract

A relay having a control input (7) and connections (8) is attachable to a relay socket (1). Upstream of the control input is a switching controller for switching a voltage within a predetermined voltage range into a constant control voltage. The relay socket includes an electronics housing (5) having push-on locations (3,4).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Relaisbaustein mit einem Relaissockel und einem auf den Relaissockel aufsetzbaren Relais, das Eingangs- und Ausgangsanschlüsse aufweist.The invention relates to a relay module with a relay socket and a relay socket placed on the relay having input and output terminals.

Diese Relaissockel können derart ausgestaltet sein, dass sie auf eine Tragschiene aufgerastet werden können und dienen dazu, das Relais aufzunehmen.These relay sockets can be designed such that they can be snapped onto a mounting rail and serve to receive the relay.

Nachteilig ist, dass es notwendig ist, für verschiedene Einsatzfälle eine ganze Reihe verschiedener Relais zu bevorraten. Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, dieses Problem zu lösen.The disadvantage is that it is necessary to stockpile a number of different relays for different applications. The invention has the object to solve this problem.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous embodiments can be found in the dependent claims.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine schematische Ansicht eines ersten Ausführungsbeispiels der Erfindung; und
  • Fig. 2 eine schematische Darstellung einer Schaltung für das Relais aus Fig. 1.
The invention will be described in more detail by means of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a first embodiment of the invention; and
  • 2 is a schematic representation of a circuit for the relay of FIG. 1.

Fig.1 zeigt einen Relaisbaustein mit einem Relaissockel 1 in anreihbarer Ausgestaltung, der Anschlüsse 6 für elektrische Leiter oder Stecker oder Buchsen aufweist.1 shows a relay module with a relay socket 1 in anreihbarer configuration having terminals 6 for electrical conductors or plugs or sockets.

Der Relaissockel 1 weist hier einen ersten Steckplatz 3 zur Aufstecken des eigentlichen Relais 2 auf, dass in an sich bekannter Weise einen Steuereingang 7 sowie weitere Anschlüsse 8 aufweist.. Neben dem ersten Steckplatz 3 für das Elektronikgehäuse mit dem Relaisbaustein ist ein zweiter Steckplatz 4 vorgesehen, der zum Aufstecken eines Elektronikgehäuses 5 dient, das beispielsweise eine optische Anzeige aufnimmt (z.B. eine LED; hier nicht dargestellt).The relay socket 1 here has a first slot 3 for plugging the actual relay 2, that in a conventional manner a control input 7 and further connections 8 has .. In addition to the first slot 3 for the electronics housing with the relay module, a second slot 4 is provided which serves for plugging on an electronics housing 5, for example, receives an optical display (eg, an LED, not shown here).

Dabei ist dem Steuereingang des Relais 2 ein Schaltregler 9 (zwischen den gestrichelten Linien) vorgeschaltet, wie er beispielhaft - und rein schematisch - in Fig. 2 abgebildet ist. Dieser Schaltregler 9 wird vorzugsweise direkt in das Relais 2 bzw. dessen Gehäuse integriert, also mit diesem als Baueinheit mit einer Haube ausgebildet. Alternativ ist es denkbar, den Schaltregler in das Elektronikgehäuse 5 oder - weniger bevorzugt - in den Relaissockel 1 zu integrieren. Vorteilhaft ist, dass es mit dem Schaltregler möglich ist, eine Eingangsspannung (AC oder DC) eines vorgegebenen Bereiches in eine konstante Ausgangsspannung (vorzugsweise DC) umzuwandeln. Damit wird es möglich, anstelle vieler verschiedener Relais für verschiedene Steuerspannungen Uw (Weitbereichseingangsspannung; z.B. zwischen 12 V und 230 V) nur noch ein einziges Relais einsetzen zu müssen, denn die variable Steuerspannung am Eingang wird durch den Schaltregler in eine vorgewählte Steuerspannung (Uk) von z.B. 12 V umgewandelt. Dadurch wird die Lagerhaltung erheblich vereinfacht. Es hat sich überraschenderweise gezeigt, dass es möglich ist, die Schaltregler-Schaltung nach Fig. 2 direkt im Relais an sich unterzubringen, ohne dass es notwendig wäre, dessen Bauraum nennenswert - oder sogar überhaupt - zu vergrößern.In this case, the control input of the relay 2 is preceded by a switching regulator 9 (between the dashed lines), as it is shown by way of example - and purely schematically - in Fig. 2. This switching regulator 9 is preferably integrated directly into the relay 2 or its housing, thus formed with this as a unit with a hood. Alternatively, it is conceivable to integrate the switching regulator into the electronics housing 5 or, less preferably, in the relay socket 1. It is advantageous that it is possible with the switching regulator to convert an input voltage (AC or DC) of a predetermined range into a constant output voltage (preferably DC). This makes it possible, instead of many different relays for different control voltages U w (wide-range input voltage, eg between 12 V and 230 V) to use only a single relay, because the variable control voltage at the input is switched by the switching regulator in a preselected control voltage (U k ) converted from eg 12V. This greatly simplifies warehousing. It has surprisingly been found that it is possible to accommodate the switching regulator circuit of FIG. 2 directly in the relay itself, without it being necessary to increase its space appreciably - or even at all - to enlarge.
