Die Ausnehmung 9 ist hier mittig zwischen den zwei Anschlussvorrichtungen 5 und direkt oberhalb der Tragschiene 4 im Gehäusesockel 2 ausgebildet.The recess 9 is here formed centrally between the two connection devices 5 and directly above the support rail 4 in the housing base 2.

Die Ausnehmung 9 ist in Anreihrichtung bzw. Längserstreckungsrichtung der Tragschiene 4 beidseits von dünnen, isolierenden Trennwänden 29, 30 begrenzt.The recess 9 is limited in the direction of arrangement or longitudinal direction of the support rail 4 on both sides of thin, insulating partitions 29, 30.

Die Ausnehmungen erstrecken sich im Wesentlichen nahezu bis zum unteren Rand des Gehäusesockels 2 an der Tragschiene 4.The recesses extend substantially almost to the lower edge of the housing base 2 on the support rail 4th

In die Ausnehmung 9 ragen hier zwei Kontakte 11, 12 hinein, die zur Kontaktierung entsprechend ausgebildeter Kontakte (hier nicht zu erkennen) an den Funktionsbausteinen 10 ausgebildet sind.In the recess 9 here protrude two contacts 11, 12, which are formed for contacting appropriately trained contacts (not visible here) to the functional components 10.

Die Kontakte 11, 12 sind über Stromschienen 13 mit den Anschlussvorrichtungen 5 verbunden.The contacts 11, 12 are connected via busbars 13 to the connection devices 5.

Seitlich weist der Isolierkörper einen Steg 18 auf, der als Führungssteg dient und zum Eingriff eine korrespondierende Nut (hier nicht zu erkennen) in der Ausnehmung 9 ausgestaltet ist.Laterally, the insulating body on a web 18 which serves as a guide web and for engagement a corresponding groove (not visible here) in the recess 9 is configured.

Das Gehäuse bzw. der Isolierkörper 14 des Funktionsbausteins 10 ist gestuft ausgebildet.The housing or the insulating body 14 of the functional module 10 is stepped.

Es ist es denkbar, nach Art der Fig. 1 mehrere Funktionsbausteine 10a mit verschiedenen bemessenen Sicherungshaltern für verschieden bemessene Sicherungen ( 5 x 20, 5 x 25, 6, 35 x 32) vorzusehen (nicht dargestellt).It is conceivable, by type Fig. 1 several function blocks 10a with different sized fuse holders for different sized fuses (5 x 20, 5 x 25, 6, 35 x 32) provided (not shown).

Der Funktionsbaustein 10a der Figur 1, der als Sicherungshalter fungiert, wird in der untersten Stellung arretiert.The function block 10a of FIG. 1 , which acts as a fuse holder, is locked in the lowest position.

Dabei kann eine Zwischenstellung (zur Trennung) vorgesehen sein.In this case, an intermediate position (for separation) may be provided.

Er ist für verschiedene Automaten für verschiedenste Nennströme nutzbar.According to FIG. 2 is the function block 10b designed as a plug-in circuit breaker, as it is freely available for example commercially. It can be used for various machines for various nominal currents.

Auch der Sicherungsautomat wird in der untersten Stellung arretiert. Dort kontaktieren seine Kontakte 31, 32 die Kontakte 11, 12 in der Ausnehmung 9.The circuit breaker is also locked in the lowest position. There contact his contacts 31, 32, the contacts 11, 12 in the recess. 9

Es kann wiederum eine Zwischenstellung zur Trennung vorgesehen sein.Again, an intermediate position for separation can be provided.

Figur 3 zeigt einen Funktionsbaustein 10c, der seinerseits als steckbarer Sicherungshalter mit einer Aufnahme 33 für Flachsicherungen (insbesondere Kfz-Sicherungen) 20 ausgebildet ist. Es sind verschiedene Flachsicherungen für verschiedene Nennströme lieferbar. FIG. 3 shows a functional module 10c, which in turn is designed as a pluggable fuse holder with a receptacle 33 for flat fuses (especially motor vehicle fuses) 20. There are different flat fuses available for different nominal currents.

Auch dieser Funktionsbaustein 10c wird in der unteren Stellung arretiert. Es kann wiederum eine Zwischenstellung zur Trennung vorgesehen sein (nicht dargestellt).This function module 10c is locked in the lower position. Again, an intermediate position for separation may be provided (not shown).

Figur 4 zeigt einen Funktionsbaustein 10d, der zur Aufnahme von Elektronikeinbauten 21 ausgelegt ist. Diese Elektronikeinbauten 21 können beispielsweise als Leiterplatte mit verschiedenen Elektronikbausteinen ausgebildet sein. Es ist auch denkbar, hier einen anderen Elektronikaufbau zu realisieren. Denkbar ist beispielsweise auch die Ausgestaltung als Relaisbaustein. FIG. 4 shows a functional module 10d, which is designed to accommodate electronic components 21. These electronic components 21 can be used, for example, as a printed circuit board be formed with different electronic components. It is also conceivable to realize a different electronic structure here. It is also conceivable, for example, the design as a relay module.

Figur 5 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem der Funktionsbaustein 10e als steckbarer Einsatz mit Trennerfunktion ausgebildet ist, so dass eine Art Trennklemme realisiert wird. FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the function block 10e is designed as a plug-in insert with disconnector function, so that a kind of disconnect terminal is realized.

Rastschulter 38 am Gehäusesockel 2 in der Ausnehmung 9 ausgebildet ist (Fig. 11).The separate locking hook 25 has locking means 26 for locking in a recess 40 on the functional module 10, an actuating lever 27 and a latching hook 28 which is designed to engage behind a corresponding latching edge or latching shoulder 38 on the housing base 2 in the recess 9 (FIG. Fig. 11 ).

Beim Einstecken weicht der Rasthaken 28 aus und schwenkt in der untersten Position in den Hinterschnitt 38a ein und verhindert so ein Lösen des Funktionsbausteins (Fig. 11c).When inserting the detent hook differs from 28 and pivots in the lowest position in the undercut 38 a and thus prevents release of the function block ( Fig. 11c ).

Zum Lösen greift man den Griffabschnitt bzw. die Griffmulden 41 und damit den Betätigungshebel 27 und betätigt dadurch automatisch den Rasthaken 28 und löste die Verrastung.To release one grips the handle portion or the recessed grips 41 and thus the operating lever 27 and thereby automatically actuates the latching hook 28 and released the locking.

Durch einen Absatz 39 am Gehäusesockel 2 erkennt man, ob der Funktionsbaustein weit genug eingesteckt worden ist (steht der Absatz vom Sicherungshalter sowie die Oberkante vom Klemmträger auf einer Höhe, hat der Sicherungshalter die richtige Tiefe erreicht). Der bewegliche Vorsprung bzw. Absatz 39 am Grundgehäuse sichert eine optische Erkennbarkeit, ob der Sicherungshalter bis in seine Arbeitsposition eingesteckt worden ist. Dies ist in Figur 10a und 10b dargestellt.By a paragraph 39 on the housing base 2 can be seen whether the function block has been inserted far enough (is the paragraph of the fuse holder and the upper edge of the terminal carrier at a height, the fuse holder has reached the correct depth). The movable projection or shoulder 39 on the base housing secures an optical Recognizability of whether the fuse holder has been inserted into its working position. This is in FIGS. 10a and 10b shown.

In Figur 10a ist der Funktionsbaustein bis zum Grund gesteckt. Hier ist eine optische Erkennung möglich. In der Zwischenposition der Figur 10b besteht kein Kontakt mehr zum Grundgehäuse. Auch diese Funktion wird durch den Verriegelungshaken gehalten, wenn zwei zueinander in Einschubrichtung (in die Ausnehmung 9 hinein) versetzte Hinterschnitte 38a, b vorgesehen sind. Die Funktion des Verriegelungshakens 25 ist insbesondere aus Figur 11 ersichtlich, welche verschiedene Funktionsstellungen zeigt. Gut zu erkennen sind die Hinterschnitte 38a, b.In FIG. 10a the function block is plugged to the ground. Here an optical recognition is possible. In the intermediate position of FIG. 10b there is no contact with the basic housing. This function is also held by the locking hook when two undercuts 38a, b offset relative to one another in the insertion direction (into the recess 9) are provided. The function of the locking hook 25 is in particular off FIG. 11 can be seen which shows different functional positions. Good to see the undercuts 38a, b.

Gemäß Figur 11b wird durch Betätigen des Hakens der Hinterschnitt gelöst und der Funktionsbaustein 10 kann nach oben hin zum Entnehmen oder zur Verrastung in eine zweite obere Position bewegt werden.According to FIG. 11b is achieved by pressing the hook of the undercut and the function block 10 can be moved upwards for removal or for locking in a second upper position.

Weitere Ansichten dieser Klemmen sind den Figuren 12 und 13 zu entnehmen.Further views of these terminals are the Figures 12 and 13 refer to.
