Abstract

Terminal block connecting apparatus comprises two test terminal blocks connected with two supports for electrical engagement when the supports are in intermediate condition between disengaged and engaged conditions, and carrier (4) supporting the second test terminal block for displacement relative to associated support where the test terminal blocks remain in electrical engagement during displacement of the supports between intermediate test condition and final connected condition. Terminal block connecting apparatus comprises two supports (6, 3) supporting two main terminal block assemblies and being linearly displaceable in a given direction between successive disconnected, intermediate, and connected positions. The contacts of the terminal blocks are in engagement when the supports are in the connected condition. A first test terminal block (9) is connected with the support. A second test terminal block (8) is also provided. The test terminal blocks have pin and socket contacts. A carrier supports the second test terminal block at a first position on the other support for engagement with the first test terminal block when the supports are in the test position. It displaces the second test terminal block toward a second position relative to the other support when the supports are displaced between the test and connected conditions. The test terminal blocks are maintained in electrical engagement during the displacement of the second test terminal block to second position. A friction retainer (10) normally resists movement of the carrier from one position.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindungsvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a connecting device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Beispielsweise im Bereich der Notstromversorgung werden derartige Schaltvorrichtungen dazu verwendet, um Leistungskontakte miteinander zu verbinden und voneinander zu lösen. Dabei wird auf einen Grundgeräteabschnitt mit ersten Leistungskontakten ein weiterer Geräteabschnitt mit den korrespondierenden Leistungskontakten aufgeschoben. Es ist bekannt, neben den Leistungskontakten weitere Kontakte an den Geräteabschnitten miteinander zu verbinden, welche einander bereits in einer Teststellung kontaktieren, bevor ein Verschieben des Geräteabschnittes in die beschaltete Stellung erfolgt, in welcher auch die Leistungskontakte miteinander verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise können vor Erreichen der beschalteten Stellung bereits Tests zum Beispiel zur Überprüfung von Funktionen der miteinander zu verbindenden Geräteabschnitte durchgeführt werden. Die Erfindung betrifft im weitesten Sinne den Bereich der Verbindung der weiteren Kontakte an den miteinander zu verbindenden Geräteabschnitten mittels dazu geeigneter Verbindungsvorrichtungen. Es ist zum Beispiel denkbar, dass einer der miteinander zu verbindenden Kontakte nach Art eines Schleifkontaktes ausgebildet ist, in welchem der andere der Kontakte aus einer ersten Stellung - der Teststellung - schleifend bis in die beschaltete Stellung (in welcher die Leistungskontakte miteinander verbunden werden) bewegbar ist.For example, in the field of emergency power supply such switching devices are used to connect power contacts with each other and to solve each other. In this case, a further device section with the corresponding power contacts is pushed onto a basic device section with first power contacts. It is known, in addition to the power contacts to connect further contacts on the device sections with each other, which already contact each other in a test position, before a displacement of the device section takes place in the switched position in which the power contacts are connected to each other. In this way, tests can already be carried out, for example, for checking functions of the device sections to be connected to each other before reaching the connected position. The invention broadly relates to the area of connection of the further contacts to the device sections to be joined together by means of suitable connection devices. It is conceivable, for example, that one of the contacts to be connected to one another is designed in the manner of a sliding contact, in which the other of the contacts from a first position - the test position - schleifend up to the switched position (in which the power contacts are connected to each other) movable is.

Derartige Verbindungseinrichtungen sind aus dem Stand der Technik an sich bekannt. Ihr Aufbau ist aber oftmals relativ kompliziert. Zudem sind die bekannten Konstruktionen auch nicht immer völlig funktionssicher.Such connection devices are known per se from the prior art. Their structure is often relatively complicated. In addition, the known constructions are not always completely reliable.

Die Erfindung hat vor diesem Hintergrund die Aufgabe, eine Verbindungsvorrichtung zu schaffen, welche einen konstruktiv einfachen und dennoch besonders stabilen Aufbau aufweist, mit der auch bei hohen bei der Beschaltung aufzunehmenden Kräften sicher und leicht sowohl die geforderte Teststellung als die beschaltete Stellung erreichbar sind.The invention has the object to provide a connection device, which has a structurally simple and yet very stable structure, with the safe and easy both the required test position and the switched position can be reached even at high forces to be included in the circuit.

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

Danach weist die Verbindungsvorrichtung wenigstens eine lösbare Verriegelungseinrichtung zur Verriegelung der Verbindungsvorrichtung in der ersten Stellung am Kragen des elektrischen Gerätes auf, die derart ausgelegt ist, dass die verriegelte Stellung allein durch translatorisches Schieben der Verbindungseinrichtung durch Überwinden einer Reibungskraft zwischen Elementen der Verriegelungseinrichtung lösbar ist.Thereafter, the connecting device has at least one releasable locking device for locking the connecting device in the first position on the collar of the electrical device, which is designed such that the locked position is solvable solely by translationally pushing the connecting device by overcoming a frictional force between elements of the locking device.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindungsvorrichtung ist einfach aufgebaut und von daher kostengünstig realisierbar. Die Verriegelungseinrichtung ist derart aufgebaut, dass zunächst klar erkennbar eine Verriegelungsstellung erreicht wird. Entweder in dieser Stellung oder kurz danach wird die Teststellung zur Durchführung von Tests erreicht. Die beschaltete Stellung bzw. die "Connect-Stellung" ist allein durch weiteres Einschieben mit einer höheren Einschubkraft zu erreichen. Dabei können auch sehr hohe Kräfte ohne weiteres von der Verbindungsvorrichtung aufgenommen werden.The connecting device according to the invention is simple in construction and therefore inexpensive to implement. The locking device is constructed such that initially clearly recognizable a locking position is achieved. Either in this position or shortly thereafter, the test position for performing tests is reached. The switched position or the "connect position" can be achieved solely by further insertion with a higher insertion force. In this case, even very high forces can be easily absorbed by the connecting device.

Detailed views of other embodiments of the invention.

Figur 1 und 2 zeigen einen Anschlussblock 1, der hier als Klemmenblock ausgebildet ist, der aus einer Mehrzahl aneinander gereihter (Anschluss-)Klemmen 2 besteht, die gemeinsam in einem Montagerahmen 25 gehalten sind (siehe auch das Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 8, das bis auf nachstehend noch zu erläuternde Details weitgehend dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 entspricht).Figures 1 and 2 show a terminal block 1, which is designed here as a terminal block consisting of a plurality of juxtaposed (terminal) terminals 2, which are held together in a mounting frame 25 (see also the embodiment of FIG. 8, the bis on details to be explained below largely corresponds to the embodiment of FIG. 1).

Zur Verbindung der beispielsweise an einem Grundgeräteabschnitt mit Leistungskontakten (die beiden letzteren Komponenten sind hier nicht dargestellt) vormontierten Einheit aus dem Anschlussblock 1 mit dem Montagerahmen 25 mit einem auf den Grundgeräteabschnitt aufschiebbaren weiteren Geräteabschnitt mit weiteren Leistungskontakten _ von dem hier nur ein Kragen 3 dargestellt ist - dient eine Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 mit mehreren Komponenten.To connect the example of a basic device section with power contacts (the latter two components are not shown here) preassembled unit from the terminal block 1 with the mounting frame 25 with a pushed onto the base unit section further device section with further power contacts _ of which only one collar 3 is shown here - Serves a connecting device 4 with several components.

Der Anschlussblock 1 ist auf die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 aufschiebbar, die er beim Aufschieben zunächst in einer Teststellung (Figur 1a bis 1c, Figur 7a, 7f) kontaktiert.The connection block 1 can be pushed onto the connection device 4, which it first contacts when pushed on in a test position (FIGS. 1a to 1c, FIGS. 7a, 7f).

Darüber hinaus ist die zusammengesteckte Einheit aus der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 und dem Anschlussblock 1 in eine beschaltete Stellung (in der die Leistungskontakte einander kontaktieren) verschieblich, welche in Figur 2 und 7c erreicht ist. Dabei bleibt der Kontakt zwischen den Kontakten des Anschlussblockes 1 und der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 bestehen.In addition, the mated unit of the connecting device 4 and the terminal block 1 in a switched position (in which the power contacts contact each other), which is achieved in Figure 2 and 7c. In this case, the contact between the contacts of the terminal block 1 and the connecting device 4 remains.

In die beschaltete (Leistungs-)Stellung sind der Anschlussblock 1 und die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 gemeinsam und der hier nur andeutungsweise anhand des feststehenden Kragens 3 dargestellte Geräteabschnitt relativ zueinander in einer Richtung X translatorisch beweglich. Der Kragen 3 kann an das zu beschaltende Gerät angeformt sein oder beispielsweise an diesem befestigt (z.B. verschraubt oder verrastet) sein.In the switched (power) position of the terminal block 1 and the connecting device 4 are common and here only hinted at the fixed collar 3 device section relative to each other in a direction X translationally movable. The collar 3 can be formed on the device to be wired or, for example, fastened to it (for example screwed or latched).

Nachfolgend wird der Kragen 3 als unbeweglich dargestellt und die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 und der Anschlussblock 1 werden als relativ zum Kragen 3 und damit zum zu beschaltenden Gerät beweglich dargestellt. Es ist auch denkbar, den Anschlussblock 1 starr an einem Gehäuse anzuordnen und den Kragen 3 mit ggf. damit verbundenen Komponenten relativ zum Anschlussblock 1 verschieblich auszugestalten. So ist es denkbar, dass der Kragen 3 ein Teil eines relativ zu einem Grundgeräteabschnitt verschieblichen Geräteabschnittes ist und dass Leistungskontakte an den beiden Abschnitten miteinander verbunden und voneinander zu trennen sind (hier nicht dargestellt). Der Anschlussblock dient dabei dazu, über den Anschlussblock Tests durchführen zu könnenSubsequently, the collar 3 is shown as immovable and the connecting device 4 and the terminal block 1 are shown as being movable relative to the collar 3 and thus to the device to be connected. It is also conceivable to arrange the connection block 1 rigidly on a housing and to make the collar 3 displaceable relative to the connection block 1 with optionally associated components. Thus, it is conceivable that the collar 3 is a part of a relative to a basic device section movable device section and that power contacts are connected to each other at the two sections and to be separated from each other (not shown here). Of the Terminal block serves to be able to carry out tests via the terminal block

Der Anschlussblock 1, die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 und das zu beschaltende Gerät weisen jeweils eine Mehrzahl von elektrischen Anschlüssen bzw. Anschlusskontakten auf, die derart ausgelegt sind, dass durch ein rein translatorisches Bewegen sämtliche der Anschlusskontakte in eine beschaltete und eine entschaltete Stellung gebracht werden können.The connection block 1, the connection device 4 and the device to be connected each have a plurality of electrical connections or connection contacts, which are designed such that all of the connection contacts can be brought into a switched and a disconnected position by a purely translational movement.

Dies ist beispielsweise dadurch realisierbar, dass die Anschlusskontakte als Stift- und Buchsenkontakte ausgebildet sind, welche jeweils in Richtung X ineinandersteckbar sind und wieder auseinander gezogen werden können.This can be realized, for example, in that the connection contacts are in the form of pin and socket contacts, which can be inserted into one another in the direction X and can be pulled apart again.

Die dargestellte Variante ist insofern nur rein beispielhaft. Die dargestellten Stift- und Buchsenkontakte 31 sowie 9a, 9b (s. z.B. Figur 7, wo diese andeutungsweise zu erkennen sind) sind in Hinsicht ihrer Anordnung am Anschlussblock 1, an der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 und am Gerät auch miteinander vertauschbar.The illustrated variant is insofar purely exemplary. The illustrated male and female contacts 31 and 9a, 9b (see, for example, Figure 7, where they may be seen by way of indication) are also interchangeable with each other in terms of their location on the terminal block 1, on the connector 4 and on the device.

An der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 sind hier jeweils beispielhaft Doppelanschlüsse bzw. -kontakte ausgebildet, die sowohl an einer Seite zur Kontaktierung des Anschlussblockes 1 als auch an der anderen Seite zur Kontaktierung des zu beschaltenden Gerätes ausgelegt sind. Es können auch ein oder mehr als zwei Anschlussreihen an der Verbindungsvorrichtung und am Anschlussblock 1 ausgebildet sein.At the connecting device 4, double terminals or contacts are here each exemplified, which are designed both on one side for contacting the terminal block 1 and on the other side for contacting the device to be connected. It is also possible for one or more than two terminal rows to be formed on the connecting device and on the terminal block 1.

Im Einzelnen ist das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel wie folgt aufgebaut.In detail, the illustrated embodiment is constructed as follows.

Der Anschlussblock 1 weist mehrere Anschlussreihen 5a, 5b von Stiftkontakten 31 (siehe Figur 1b und 8b) auf.The terminal block 1 has a plurality of terminal rows 5a, 5b of pin contacts 31 (see FIGS. 1b and 8b).

Die zwei Anschlussreihen 5a, 5b sind seitlich einer Wandung 6 angeordnet, die parallel zur Betätigungsrichtung X ausgerichtet ist. Sie bilden gemeinsam eine Art übergeordneten Kontaktblock 7 aus, der von der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 kontaktierbar ist, wobei die Kontaktierung in der Teststellung - Figur 1 - und der beschalteten Stellung - Figur 2 - erfolgt.The two terminal rows 5a, 5b are arranged laterally of a wall 6, which is aligned parallel to the actuating direction X. Together they form a kind of superordinate one Contact block 7, which can be contacted by the connecting device 4, wherein the contacting in the test position - Figure 1 - and the connected position - Figure 2 - takes place.

Die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 weist einen hier nur andeutungsweise zu erkennenden, zum Kontaktblock 7 komplementären und mit diesem zusammensteckbaren Kontaktblock bzw. -bereich 8 auf, der hier beispielsweise mit zwei Anschlussreihen von Buchsenkontakten 9a, 9b versehen ist, welche zum Kontaktieren der Stiftkontakte 31 der Anschlussreihen 5a, 5b am Klemmblock bzw. Anschlussblock 1 ausgelegt sind.The connection device 4 has a contact block or area 8 that is only hinted at, complementary to the contact block 7 and can be plugged together, which is here provided, for example, with two terminal rows of socket contacts 9a, 9b, which are used to contact the pin contacts 31 of the terminal rows 5a , 5b are designed on the terminal block or terminal block 1.

Der Kontaktblock 7 des Anschlussblocks bildet hier quasi eine Art leistenförmigen Stecker und der Kontaktblock 8 eine Art leistenförmigen Buchse aus. Eine umgekehrte Art der Anordnung wäre ebenfalls realisierbar: So könnten die Stiftkontakte an der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 und die Buchsenkontakte am Anschluss- bzw. Klemmenblock 1 ausgebildet sein (hier nicht darstellt).The contact block 7 of the terminal block forms here almost a kind of strip-shaped plug and the contact block 8 is a kind of strip-shaped socket. A reverse type of arrangement would also be feasible: Thus, the pin contacts could be formed on the connecting device 4 and the socket contacts on the connection or terminal block 1 (not shown here).

Die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 ist in dem Kragen 3 verschieblich geführt.The connecting device 4 is guided displaceably in the collar 3.

Aus der nicht kontaktierenden Stellung der Figur 8 wird die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 am Kragen 3 vormontiert und verriegelt auf den Anschlussklemmenblock 7 aufgeschoben.From the non-contacting position of Figure 8, the connecting device 4 is pre-mounted on the collar 3 and locked pushed onto the terminal block 7.

Zum Erreichen der Verbindung in der Teststellung wird nunmehr der Anschlussblock zunächst entsprechend der Figur 1a, 1b und 1c in die Teststellung geschoben, wobei sich die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 nicht bewegt.To reach the connection in the test position, the connection block is first pushed into the test position according to FIGS. 1a, 1b and 1c, whereby the connection device 4 does not move.

Insbesondere sind zwei Verriegelungseinrichtungen 10a, 10b derart fixiert, die sicherstellen, dass zunächst die Stift- und Buchsenkontakte für einen guten Kontakt weit genug ineinander geschoben werden, bevor die Verriegelungseinrichtungen 10a, b gelöst werden..In particular, two locking devices 10a, 10b are fixed in such a way that ensure that first the pin and socket contacts are pushed far enough together for a good contact before the locking devices 10a, b are released ..

Die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 weist ebenfalls eine Art Kragen 11 auf, der eine lang gestreckte, im wesentlichen rechteckige Form hat (in einer Draufsicht), wobei er die zwei Anschlussreihen von Buchsenkontakten 9a, 9b rundum umschließt.The connecting device 4 also has a kind of collar 11, which has an elongated, substantially rectangular shape (in a plan view), wherein it surrounds the two terminal rows of female contacts 9a, 9b all around.

Der Kragen 11 der Verbindungsvorrichtung weist zwei Schmalseiten 12a, 12b auf, und ist im Kragen 3 des elektrischen Gerätes (siehe Figur 5) verschieblich geführt.The collar 11 of the connecting device has two narrow sides 12a, 12b, and is displaceably guided in the collar 3 of the electrical appliance (see FIG. 5).

Dabei ist zwischen zwei Schmalseiten 12a, 12b des im Wesentlichen in der Draufsicht rechteckigen Kragens 11 der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 und korrespondierenden Schmalseiten 13a, 13b des Kragens 3 des elektrischen Gerätes jeweils eine der Verriegelungsvorrichtungen 10a, 10b angeordnet.In this case, one of the locking devices 10a, 10b is arranged between two narrow sides 12a, 12b of the essentially rectangular top view collar 11 of the connecting device 4 and corresponding narrow sides 13a, 13b of the collar 3 of the electrical device.

Diese Verriegelungsvorrichtungen sind in der Sprengansicht in Figur 5 zu erkennen.These locking devices can be seen in the explosive view in Figure 5.

Die verschiedenen Funktionsstellungen verdeutlicht insbesondere gut die Figur 7.The various functional positions are particularly well illustrated in FIG. 7.

Die Verriegelungsvorrichtung besteht aus zwei hebelartigen, verschwenkbaren Riegelelementen 14a, 14b, die jeweils an einem ihrer Enden schwenkbar hier an Zapfen 15a, 15b an den Schmalseiten 12a, 12b des Kragens 11 der Verbindungsvorrichtung 14 angeordnet sind.The locking device consists of two lever-type, pivotable locking elements 14a, 14b, which are each pivotally mounted at one of their ends here on pins 15a, 15b on the narrow sides 12a, 12b of the collar 11 of the connecting device 14.

Die Riegelelemente 14a, 14b weisen an ihren den Schwenklagern bzw. Zapfen 15a, 15b gegenüberliegenden Enden jeweils einen V-förmig ausgebildeten Endabschnitt 16 auf.The locking elements 14a, 14b each have a V-shaped end portion 16 at their ends opposite the pivot bearings or pins 15a, 15b.

Die V-förmigen Endabschnitte sind dazu ausgelegt (siehe Figur 7) in korrespondierende Schlitze 17 in einer nutartigen Führungsbahn 18 des Kragens 3 einzugreifen, in welcher sie an dem Kragen 3 verschieblich geführt sind.The V-shaped end portions are designed (see FIG. 7) to engage in corresponding slots 17 in a groove-like guide track 18 of the collar 3, in which they are displaceably guided on the collar 3.

In der Position, in welcher die V-förmigen Endabschnitte 16 in die Schlitze 17 eingreifen, befindet sich die Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 in ihrer Teststellung (Fig. 7a).In the position in which the V-shaped end portions 16 engage in the slots 17, the connecting device 4 is in its test position (Figure 7a).

In dieser Teststellung liegt zwischen den beiden in dieser Stellung parallel zueinander ausgerichteten Riegelelementen 14a, 14b, die voneinander beabstandet in zwei nebeneinander liegenden Eckbereichen des Kragens 11 der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 angeordnet sind, ein Kopf 28 eines Verriegelungsschiebers 19, der genau zwischen die zwei V-förmigen Endabschnitte 16 eingreift, so dass die Bewegung des Innengehäuses bzw. Kragens 11 der Verriegelungsvorrichtung blockiert ist, so dass das Innengehäuse bzw. die Verbindungsvorrichtung bzw. der Kragen 11 in beiden Bewegungsrichtungen X+, X- belastbar ist.In this test position is between the two in this position parallel aligned locking elements 14a, 14b, which are spaced from each other in two adjacent corner regions of the collar 11 of the connecting device 4, a head 28 of a locking slide 19, which is exactly between the two V-shaped End portions 16 engages, so that the movement of the inner housing or collar 11 of the locking device is blocked, so that the inner housing or the connecting device or the collar 11 in both directions X +, X- is resilient.

In dieser Stellung kann nunmehr der Anschlussblock 1 ohne weiteres bis in die Teststellung geschoben werden. Bzw. es kann der Kragen 3 mit der an ihm vormontierten Verbindungsvorrichtung entsprechend auf den Anschlussblock 1 aufgeschoben werden.In this position, now the terminal block 1 can be easily pushed into the test position. Respectively. The collar 3 with the connection device preassembled on it can accordingly be pushed onto the connection block 1.

Wesentlich ist nun, dass zum Erreichen der beschalteten Stellung eine Einrichtung vorgesehen ist, die es ermöglicht, den Verriegelungsschieber 19 aus der Teststellung bzw. der Verriegelungsstellung der Fig. 7a in X-Richtung zu verschieben, was auch bei hohen abgestützten Kräften senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung X möglich ist, da nur die Reibkraft zwischen dem Verriegelungsschieber 19 und den Riegelelementen 14a, 14b überwunden werden muß.It is essential that a device is provided for reaching the connected position, which makes it possible to move the locking slide 19 from the test position or the locking position of Fig. 7a in the X direction, which is also at high supported forces perpendicular to the direction of movement X. is possible, since only the frictional force between the locking slide 19 and the locking elements 14a, 14b must be overcome.

Der Verriegelungsschieber 19 durchsetzt eine Aufnahme 20, die an die Schmalseiten 12a, 12b des Kragens 11 der Verbindungsvorrichtung 14 angeformt oder angesetzt ist.The locking slide 19 passes through a receptacle 20 which is formed or attached to the narrow sides 12a, 12b of the collar 11 of the connecting device 14.

Die Aufnahme ist derart gestaltet, dass der Verriegelungsschieber, der in Figur 5 zu erkennen ist, relativ zur Aufnahme und zum Kragen 11 verschieblich ist.The receptacle is designed such that the locking slide, which can be seen in Figure 5, relative to the receptacle and the collar 11 is displaceable.

Der Verriegelungsschieber 19 weist einen Aufnahmeraum 21 für eine Rückstellfeder 22 auf. Wird der Verriegelungsschieber 19 in der Aufnahme 20 geschoben, greifen sein Kopf 28 und zwei Stege 23 eine Öffnung 34 der Aufnahme 20, so dass der Verriegelungsschieber in der Aufnahme bzw. am Kragen verschieblich geführt ist, wobei er durch die Rückstellfeder 22 relativ zum Kragen in einer definierten Position gehalten wird, sofern nicht auf ihn eine in X-Richtung wirkende Kraft ausgeübt wird. Die Stege 23 verhindern ein Ausfallen des Verriegelungsschiebers 19 und damit der Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 mit dem Kragen 11 vom Kragen 3 des Geräteabschnittes.The locking slide 19 has a receiving space 21 for a return spring 22. If the locking slide 19 is pushed in the receptacle 20, grab his head 28 and two webs 23 an opening 34 of the receptacle 20, so that the locking slide is slidably guided in the receptacle or on the collar, wherein it by the return spring 22 relative to the collar in held a defined position unless an X-direction force is exerted on it. The webs 23 prevent a failure of the locking slide 19 and thus the connecting device 4 with the collar 11 from the collar 3 of the device section.

Das Ausüben einer Kraft in X-Richtung ist anhand eines Betätigungsschiebers realisierbar, der unbeweglich mit dem Anschlussblock 1 bzw. einem Rahmen 25 des Anschlussblockes, der die Klemmen 2 aufnimmt (siehe Figur 1a und 1c), verbunden ist.The exertion of a force in the X direction can be achieved by means of an actuating slide which is immovably connected to the connection block 1 or a frame 25 of the connection block which receives the clamps 2 (see FIGS. 1a and 1c).

Der Rahmen 25 (siehe Fig. 1) weist einen Betätigungsschieber 24 auf, der zwei Rasthakenstege 26 aufweist, welche dazu ausgelegt sind, bei einem Verschieben des Anschlussblocks 1 relativ zur Verbindungsvorrichtung 4 nach dem vollständigen Erreichen der Teststellung an der Aufnahme 20 vorbei zu schnappen, um dann Stege 27 am Verriegelungsschieber 19 vorzuschieben. Der Betätigungsschieber 24 schiebt den Verriegelungsschieber, der einen verbreiterten Kopf 28 aufweist, in X-Richtung wird, so dass sein Kopf 28 in X-Richtung bei einem Überschreiten der Reibungskräfte zwischen den Riegelelementen 14a, 14b vorbei geschoben wird, so dass sich eine sich an den Kopf 28 anschließende Verjüngung 29 des Verriegelungsschiebers 19 zwischen die beiden Riegelelemente 14a, 14b verschiebt, wodurch es möglich ist, dass sich die Riegelelemente nach innen verschwenken. Derart wird die Verriegelung gelöst und die Verbindungseinrichtung kann als ganzes (siehe Figur 7b, 7c) in die kontaktierte bzw. beschaltete Stellung (Figur 7) verschoben werden, in welcher die Leistungskontakte, welche hier nicht dargestellt sind, miteinander verbunden werden.The frame 25 (see FIG. 1) has an actuation slide 24 which has two latching webs 26 which are designed to snap past the receptacle 20 when the connection block 1 is displaced relative to the connection device 4 after the test position has been completely reached, in order then to advance webs 27 on the locking slide 19. The actuating slide 24 pushes the locking slide, which has a widened head 28, in the X direction, so that its head 28 is pushed past in the X direction, when the frictional forces between the locking elements 14a, 14b are exceeded, so that one engages the head 28 subsequent taper 29 of the locking slide 19 between the two locking elements 14a, 14b shifts, whereby it is possible that the locking elements pivot inwards. In this way, the lock is released and the connecting device can be moved as a whole (see Figure 7b, 7c) in the contacted or switched position (Figure 7), in which the power contacts, which are not shown here, are interconnected.

Bei einer Bewegung in umgekehrter Richtung ziehen die Rasthakenstege 26 umgekehrt die Verbindungsvorrichtung 14 an der Aufnahme 20 mit, so dass die gesamte Verbindungsvorrichtung bis auf die Höhe der Schlitze zurückbewegt wird (Fig. 7d und weitere).Conversely, when moved in the reverse direction, the latching hook webs 26 pull the connecting device 14 against the receptacle 20 so that the entire connecting device is moved back to the height of the slots (Figure 7d and others).

Wird diese Stellung erreicht, bewirkt ein weiteres Ziehen, dass der Kopf 28 die Verriegelungshaken wieder in die Schlitze 17 zurückbewegt (siehe Figur 7e), so dass erneut die Verbindungsvorrichtung in der Teststellung (Figur 7) kontaktiert wird.If this position is reached, further pulling causes the head 28 to move the locking hooks back into the slots 17 (see FIG. 7e), so that the connecting device is again contacted in the test position (FIG. 7).

In dieser Stellung kann dann der Anschlussklemmenblock ggf. auch ganz abgezogen werden.In this position, then the terminal block may also be completely deducted.

Fig. 9 und 10 zeigen eine Ausführungsform, bei welcher die Teststellung auf alternative Weise realisiert ist. Hier ist die Auslegung und Bemessung derart, dass der Verriegelungsschiebers 19 in der Teststellung bereits so weit eingeschoben ist, dass sein Kopf 28 bereits nicht mehr genau zwischen die zwei V-förmigen Endabschnitte 16 eingreift, so dass diese aus den Schlitzen 17 zurückschwenken. Die Verriegelungsstellung wird damit quasi bereits "vor" dem Erreichen der Teststellung nach Art der Fig. 1 wieder verlassen, was den Vorteil hat, dass die mechanischen Komponenten in der Teststellung von Kräften weiter entlastet sind, wenn diese zum Beispiel für längere Zeit einbehalten wird..Figs. 9 and 10 show an embodiment in which the test position is realized in an alternative way. Here, the design and dimensioning is such that the locking slide 19 is already pushed so far in the test position that his head 28 is no longer exactly between the two V-shaped end portions 16 engages, so that they swing back out of the slots 17. The locking position is thus quasi quit already "before" the achievement of the test position of the type of Fig. 1 again, which has the advantage that the mechanical components in the test position of forces are further relieved, if this is retained, for example, for a long time. ,

Fig. 11 zeigt in Fig. 11a und 11b eine alternative Ausgestaltung zu den Rasthakenstegen 26. Sie ersetzt diese Rasthakenstege 26 durch zwei alternative Rasthakenstege 30, die hier je eine Art Riffelung 32a an ihren zueinander gewandten Seiten aufweisen, mit welchen sie in korrespondierenden Riffelungen 32b an voneinander abgewandten Außenflächen der Aufnahme 22 einrastbar sind, um die Aufnahme 20 beim Lösen mitzunehmen.. Diese Ausgestaltung ist besonders stabil und damit unempfindlich.Fig. 11 shows in Fig. 11a and 11b an alternative embodiment of the latching hooks 26. It replaces this latching hook webs 26 by two alternative latching hook webs 30, each having a kind of corrugation 32a on their mutually facing sides, with which they in corresponding corrugations 32b on opposite outer surfaces of the receptacle 22 can be latched to take the receptacle 20 during release .. This embodiment is particularly stable and thus insensitive.

Auch mit dieser Ausführung sind verschiedenste Ausführungsformen realisierbar, so auch solche, die ansonsten nach Art der Fig. 1 bis 7 oder 8 und 9 gestaltet sind.Also with this embodiment a variety of embodiments can be realized, including those that are otherwise designed in the manner of FIGS. 1 to 7 or 8 and 9.

Das Vorschieben des Verriegelungsschiebers erfolgt hier - wie auch im Wesentlichen nach Fig. 1 zunächst durch den Betätigungsschieber 24 an einer korrespondierenden Fläche 33 des Verriegelungsschiebers 19 zur Anlage kommt um diesen vorzuschieben, bis die Riffelungen ineinander rasten und die Aufnahme 20 und der Verriegelungsschieber gemeinsam vorgeschoben werden. Das Zurückziehen erfolgt dann über den Formschluss an den Riffelungen 32.The advancement of the locking slide takes place here - as well as in Fig. 1 first by the actuating slide 24 to a corresponding surface 33 of the locking slide 19 comes to rest for this to advance until the corrugations snap into each other and the receptacle 20 and the locking slide are advanced together , The retraction then takes place via the positive connection to the corrugations 32nd
