Abstract

The part (1) has a plate shaped carrier (6) made of insulation material with an electrical conductor, where ends of the conductor are designed as electrical contact pins (7, 8) for producing a direct electrical connection with connecting terminals (4, 5) that are formed as screw connection terminal and spring type terminal, respectively. The pins (7, 8) runs perpendicular and parallel to the plane for connection at the connecting terminals, respectively, where the plane determines the plate shape of the carrier. The conductor is formed as a wire covered with plastic.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verbindungsteil zum mechanischen und elektrischen Verbinden eines Schützes mit einem Schutzschalter, wobei der Schutzschalter erste Anschlussklemmen und das Schütz zweite Anschlussklemmen aufweist, mit einem weitgehend plattenförmigen Träger aus isolierfähigem Werkstoff mit elektrischen Leitern zum Zusammenschalten der gleich geschalteten Pole von Schutzschalter und Schütz, wobei die elektrischen Leiter auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Trägers als erste und zweite elektrische Kontaktstifte zum Herstellen eines direkten elektrischen Anschlusses mit den ersten und zweiten Anschlussklemmen auslaufen.The invention relates to a connecting part for the mechanical and electrical connection of a contactor with a circuit breaker, the circuit breaker first terminals and the contactor second terminals, with a largely plate-shaped carrier made of isolierfähigem material with electrical conductors for interconnecting the same poles of circuit breaker and contactor, wherein the electrical conductors terminate on opposite sides of the carrier as first and second electrical contact pins for establishing a direct electrical connection with the first and second terminals.

Ein derartiges Verbindungsteil ist bereits aus der EP 0588 712 A1 bekannt. Die Anschlussklemmen des Schützes sind hier als Schraubanschlussklemmen ausgeführt.Such a connecting part is already out of the EP 0588 712 A1 known. The connection terminals of the contactor are designed as screw terminals.

Immer häufiger werden bei Schaltgeräten Federzugklemmen anstelle von Schraubanschlussklemmen verwendet, da bei den Federzugklemmen der Anschluss komfortabler durch bloßes Einstecken des Leiters erfolgt.Spring-loaded terminals are increasingly being used in switching devices instead of screw-type terminals, since the spring-type terminals are connected more conveniently by merely inserting the conductor.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Verbindungsteil der oben genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass+das Verbinden von Schütz und Schutzschalter einfacher wird.The invention is based on the object to improve a connecting part of the type mentioned above in that + the connection of contactor and circuit breaker is easier.

Das Dokument DE 102 24 976 zeigt ein Verbindungsteil gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The document DE 102 24 976 shows a connecting part according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die ersten Anschlussklemmen als Schaubanschlussklemmen und die zweiten Anschlussklemmen als Federzugklemmen ausgeführt sind, und dass die ersten elektrischen Kontaktstifte zum Anschluss an die ersten Anschlussklemmen senkrecht und die zweiten elektrischen Kontaktstifte zum Anschluss an die zweiten Anschlussklemmen parallel zur Ebene verlaufen, die die Plattenform des Trägers bestimmt. Hierdurch lässt sich auf besonders einfache Weise durch bloßes Einstecken der zweiten Kontaktstifte in die als Federzugklemmen ausgeführten zweiten Anschlussklemmen eine elektrische Verbindung zum Schütz herstellen.The object is achieved in that the first terminals as Schaubanschlussklemmen and the second terminals are designed as spring terminals, and that the first electrical contact pins for connection to the first terminals perpendicular and the second electrical contact pins for connection to the second terminals parallel to the plane, which determines the plate shape of the carrier. This makes it possible in a particularly simple manner by merely inserting the second contact pins in the second terminals designed as Federzugklemmen make an electrical connection to the contactor.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn gemäß Anspruch 2 das Verbindungsteil eine hakenförmige Ausbildung aufweist, innerhalb derer die elektrischen Leiter verlaufen bevor sie als zweite elektrische Kontaktstifte enden.It is particularly advantageous if according to claim 2, the connecting part has a hook-shaped configuration, within which the electrical conductors run before they end up as second electrical contact pins is particularly advantageous.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung besteht, wenn gemäß Anspruch 3 die elektrischen Leiter als mit Kunststoff ummantelte Drähte ausgeführt sind.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is when according to claim 3, the electrical conductors are designed as coated with plastic wires.

In Fig. 1, 2, 3 ist ein Verbindungsteil 1 zum mechanischen und elektrischen Verbinden eines Schützes 2 mit einem Schutzschalter 3 in verschiedenen Ansichten dargestellt (s. Fig. 4, 5). Der Schutzschalter 3 weist erste Anschlussklemmen 4 auf, die hier als Schaubanschlussklemmen ausgeführt sind. Zweite Anschlussklemmen 5 des Schützes 2 sind als Federzugklemmen ausgeführt. Das Verbindungsteil 1 ist als plattenförmiger Träger 6 aus isolierfähigem Werkstoff mit elektrischen Leitern zum Zusammenschalten der gleich geschalteten Pole.von Schutzschalter 3 und Schütz 2 ausgebildet. Die elektrischen Leiter laufen auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Trägers 6 als erste 7 und zweite elektrische Kontaktstifte 8 zum Herstellen eines direkten elektrischen Anschlusses mit den ersten 4 und zweiten Anschlussklemmen 5 von Schütz 2 und Schutzschalter 3 aus. Die ersten elektrischen Kontaktstifte 7 zum Anschluss an die ersten Anschlussklemmen 4 verlaufen senkrecht und die zweiten elektrischen Kontaktstifte 8 zum Anschluss an die zweiten Anschlussklemmen 5 verlaufen parallel zur Ebene, die die Plattenform des Trägers 6 bestimmt. Dabei wird unter senkrechtem und parallelem Verlauf auch ein weitgehend senkrechter und paralleler Verlauf verstanden wie er für das beschriebene Verbinden erforderlich ist.In Fig. 1, 2, 3 is a connecting part 1 for the mechanical and electrical connection of a contactor 2 with a circuit breaker 3 shown in different views (s. Fig. 4 . 5 ). The circuit breaker 3 has first terminals 4, which are designed here as Schaubanschlussklemmen. Second terminals 5 of the contactor 2 are designed as spring-type terminals. The connecting part 1 is a plate-shaped carrier 6 made of isolierfähigem material with electrical conductors for interconnecting the same Pole.von circuit breaker 3 and contactor 2 is formed. The electrical conductors run on opposite sides of the carrier 6 as the first 7 and second electrical contact pins 8 for establishing a direct electrical connection with the first 4 and second terminals 5 of contactor 2 and circuit breaker 3. The first electrical contact pins 7 for connection to the first connection terminals 4 extend perpendicularly and the second electrical contact pins 8 for connection to the second connection terminals 5 run parallel to the plane which determines the panel shape of the support 6. Under vertical and parallel course and a largely vertical and parallel course understood as it is required for the described connection.

Das Verbindungsteil 1 ist durch eine hakenförmige Ausbildung gekennzeichnet, innerhalb derer die elektrischen Leiter verlaufen, bevor sie als zweite elektrische Kontaktstifte 8 enden. Dabei kann die hakenförmige Ausbildung in Form von drei fingerförmigen Vorsprüngen bestehen, in denen zumindest teilweise die elektrischen Leiter verlaufen. Auf diese Weise lassen sich Fertigungstoleranzen ausgleichen.The connecting part 1 is characterized by a hook-shaped configuration, within which the electrical conductors run before they end as second electrical contact pins 8. In this case, the hook-shaped formation in the form of three finger-shaped projections in which at least partially extend the electrical conductors. In this way, manufacturing tolerances can be compensated.
