Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung für elektrische Leitungen mit einer Trägerplatte, die mit einer Leitungsaufnahme ausgestattet ist und mit einem an einer Seite der Trägerplatte schwenkbar angelenkten Druckhebel, der an der der Schwenkachse gegenüberliegenden Seite mit der Trägerplatte verrastbar ist, dass die Leitungsaufnahme, bezogen auf den verrasteten Zustand des Druckhebels, an der inneren, dem Druckhebel zugewandten Seite der Trägerplatte angeordnet ist, dass der Druckhebel biegeelastisch und die Trägerplatte biegesteif ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to an identification device for electrical lines with a support plate, which is equipped with a line receptacle and with a hinged on one side of the support plate pressure lever which is latched on the opposite side of the pivot axis with the support plate, that the line receiving related is arranged on the latched state of the pressure lever, on the inner, the pressure lever side facing the support plate, that the pressure lever bending elastic and the support plate is formed rigid.

Bei einer bekannten Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung ist die Trägerplatte im mittleren Bereich mit einem Gelenk versehen, so dass die beidseitig des Gelenkes liegenden Bereiche in eine Winkelstellung gebracht werden können. An der dem Druckhebel abgewandten Seite ist eine nach Art einer Klammer gestaltete Aufnahme für die Leitung vorgesehen. Wenn der Druckhebel mit der Trägerplatte verrastet ist, ist die klammerartige Aufnahme geschlossen, so dass die einliegende Leitung fixiert ist, bzw. die Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung an der Leitung festgelegt ist.In a known labeling device, the carrier plate is provided in the central region with a hinge, so that the lying on both sides of the joint areas can be brought into an angular position. On the side facing away from the pressure lever a designed in the manner of a clip receptacle for the line is provided. When the pressure lever is locked to the support plate, the clip-like receptacle is closed, so that the in-line is fixed, or the labeling device is fixed to the line.

Bei einer anderen Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung ist die Trägerplatte ebenfalls im mittleren Bereich mit einem Gelenk versehen, die seitlichen Bereiche sind jedoch mit hinterschnittenen Stegen versehen. Wenn die Trägerplatte in eine ebene Stellung gebracht wird, lässt sich von der Seite her eine ebene Platte zwischen die hinterschnittenen Stege einschieben, so dass dadurch die Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung fixiert ist bzw. an der Leitung festgelegt ist.In another labeling device, the support plate is also provided in the central region with a hinge, the lateral areas are provided with undercut webs. When the carrier plate is brought into a level position, can be inserted from the side, a flat plate between the undercut webs, so that thereby the identification device is fixed or fixed to the line.

Die Bauhöhe ist bei diesen vorbekannten Kennzeichnungsvorrichtungen, bedingt durch die die Kabelaufnahme bildenden Klammern relativ groß, so dass entsprechende Einbauräume notwendig sind, die jedoch häufig bei den elektrischen Installationen nicht vorhanden sind, da diese üblicherweise eine Vielzahl von elektrischen Leitungen aufweisen.The height is relatively large in these prior art identification devices, due to the cable receiving clips forming, so that corresponding installation spaces are necessary, but often are not present in the electrical installations, as they usually have a variety of electrical lines.

Aus der GB 2 274 445 A ist eine Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung bekannt, die aus einer formstabilen Trägerplatte und einer elastisch verformbaren Druckplatte besteht, die über ein Filmscharnier miteinander verbunden sind. Im mittleren Bereich der Trägerplatte ist eine nach außen ausgeformte Leitungsaufnahme vorgesehen. Die Druckplatte weist an der dem Filmscharnier gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Rastwulst auf, die in eine entsprechende Nut der Trägerplatte eingreift. Die Leitungsaufnahme und die die Nut begrenzenden Wandungen stehen gegenüber der unteren, der Druckplatte gegenüberliegenden Seite vor und sind beim Ansetzen der Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung hinderlich. Darüber hinaus ist der benötigte Einbauraum relativ groß.From the GB 2 274 445 A an identification device is known, which consists of a dimensionally stable support plate and an elastically deformable pressure plate, which are connected to each other via a film hinge. In the middle region of the support plate, an outwardly shaped line receptacle is provided. The pressure plate has on the opposite side of the film hinge on a latching bead which engages in a corresponding groove of the support plate. The line receptacle and the groove bounding walls are opposite to the lower, the pressure plate opposite side and are hindering the attachment of the marking device. In addition, the required installation space is relatively large.

Aus der DE 101 14 890 A1 ist ein Kabelschild bekannt, welches gemäß einer ersten Ausführung aus zwei Klemmleisten gebildet ist, die über ein Filmscharnier miteinander verbunden sind. Die beiden Klemmleisten werden nach dem Einlegen der Leitung miteinander verrastet, wodurch sich eine ovale Querschnittsform ergibt, die auch für den Einbau in beengte Einbauräume hinderlich ist.From the DE 101 14 890 A1 a cable shield is known, which is formed according to a first embodiment of two terminal strips, which are connected to each other via a film hinge. The two terminal strips are locked together after inserting the line, resulting in an oval cross-sectional shape, which is also a hindrance for installation in confined spaces.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung der eingangs näher beschriebenen Art so zu gestalten, dass die Bauhöhe gegenüber den bekannten Ausführungen verringert wird, wenn der Druckhebel mit der Trägerplatte verrastet ist.The invention has for its object to make an identification device of the type described in more detail so that the height is reduced compared to the known embodiments, when the pressure lever is locked to the support plate.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst, indem die Leitungsaufnahme aus mindestens zwei im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Aufnahmeprismen gebildet ist, dass die mit der elektrischen Leitung in Kontakt bringbaren Flächen der Aufnahmeprismen unter einem stumpfen Winkel stehen, und dass der Druckhebel lagegerecht zu den Aufnahmeprismen ein Druckstück aufweist.The stated object is achieved by the features of claim 1, wherein the line receptacle is formed from at least two spaced-apart receiving prisms, that the contact with the electrical line in contact surfaces of the receiving prisms are at an obtuse angle, and that the pressure lever to correct position the receiving prisms has a pressure piece.

Der Druckhebel kann nun so gestaltet werden, dass im mit der Trägerplatte verrasteten zustand eine geringstmögliche Bauhöhe erreicht wird. Da er biegeelastisch ist, kann die Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung auch an elektrische Leitungen mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern festgeklemmt werden. Da die Trägerplatte und der Druckhebel ein einstückiges Kunststoffformteil bilden, ist eine besonders wirtschaftliche Fertigung mit einem entsprechend ausgelegten Werkzeug im Spritzgussverfahren möglich. Die Trägerplatte kann ebenfalls biegeelastisch sein. In bevorzugter Ausführung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass sie biegesteif gestaltet ist. Es ist ferner vorgesehen, dass die Leitungsaufnahme im mittleren Bereich der Trägerplatte vorgesehen ist. Dadurch wird die elastische Verformung des Druckhebels im verrasteten Zustand begünstigt, da die Abstände zwischen der Leitungsaufnahme und den seitlichen Kanten des Druckhebels größtmöglich sind.The pressure lever can now be designed so that in the latched with the carrier plate state a minimum height is achieved. Since it is flexurally elastic, the identification device can also be clamped to electrical lines with different diameters. Since the carrier plate and the pressure lever form a one-piece plastic molded part, is a particularly economical production with a suitably designed tool by injection molding possible. The carrier plate may also be flexible. In a preferred embodiment, however, it is provided that it is designed rigid. It is further provided that the line receptacle is provided in the central region of the carrier plate. As a result, the elastic deformation of the pressure lever is favored in the latched state, since the distances between the cable receptacle and the lateral edges of the pressure lever are the greatest possible.

Es ist ferner vorgesehen, das die Leitungsaufnahme aus mindestens zwei im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Aufnahmeprismen gebildet ist. Die die eingelegte elektrische Leitung kontaktierenden Flächen stehen dann unter einem stumpfen Winkel zueinander, so dass optimale Voraussetzungen für das Ansetzen der Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung an elektrische Leitungen unterschiedlichen Durchmessers gegeben sind. Ferner sind die Aufnahmeprismen so gestaltet, dass nach dem Festklemmen an der elektrischen Leitung diese parallel und im Abstand zur Schwenkachse des Druckhebels verläuft.It is further provided that the line receptacle is formed from at least two spaced receiving prisms. The surfaces in contact with the inserted electrical line are then at an obtuse angle to one another, so that optimum conditions for the attachment of the marking device to electrical lines of different diameters are given. Furthermore, the receiving prisms are designed so that after clamping on the electrical line this runs parallel and at a distance from the pivot axis of the pressure lever.

Es ist ferner vorgesehen, dass der Druckhebel mittels eines Scharniers, vorzugsweise eines Filmscharniers an der Trägerplatte festgelegt ist. Diese Trägerplatte ist viereckig gestaltet, wobei die Längsseiten deutlich länger sind als die Querkanten. Das Scharnier ist an einer Querkante und die Rastelemente der Trägerplatte und des Druckhebels sind an der gegenüberliegenden Querkante angesetzt oder angeformt.It is further provided that the pressure lever is fixed by means of a hinge, preferably a film hinge on the support plate. This support plate is square in shape, with the long sides are significantly longer than the transverse edges. The hinge is at a transverse edge and the locking elements of the support plate and the pressure lever are attached or formed on the opposite transverse edge.

Damit der Druckhebel für die elastische Verformung bezüglich der unterschiedlichen Durchmesser der elektrischen Leitungen hinreichend verformbar ist, dass jedoch die auf die elektrische Leitung wirkende Druckkraft ausreichend ist, ist vorgesehen, dass der Druckhebel lagegerecht zu der Leitungsaufnahme ein den Druckhebel verstärkendes Druckstück aufweist. Dadurch ist der Druckhebel in diesem Bereich, wenn überhaupt, nur geringfügig elastisch verformbar. Damit die elastische Verformung des Druckhebels in an dem Druckstück angrenzenden Bereichen ohne Aufbringen von besonders hohen Kräften möglich ist, ist vorgesehen, dass der Druckhebel in an dem Druckstück angrenzenden Bereichen zumindest an einer Längsseite mit einer Ausnehmung versehen ist, so dass die Breite gegenüber den Endbereichen reduziert ist.So that the pressure lever for the elastic deformation with respect to the different diameters of the electrical lines is sufficiently deformable, but that the force acting on the electrical line pressure force is sufficient, it is provided that the pressure lever positionally to the line receiving a pressure lever reinforcing pressure piece. As a result, the pressure lever in this area, if at all, only slightly elastically deformable. So that the elastic deformation of the pressure lever is possible in areas adjoining the pressure piece without applying particularly high forces, it is provided that the pressure lever is provided with a recess in areas adjoining the pressure piece, at least on one longitudinal side, so that the width is opposite the end areas is reduced.

Zur Verrastung des Druckhebels mit der Trägerplatte ist ferner noch vorgesehen, dass an der Trägerplatte an der dem Scharnier gegenüberliegenden Seite mindestens eine Rastnase angeformt ist, die an der die Leitungsaufnahme aufweisenden Seite angeordnet ist.For locking the pressure lever with the support plate is further provided that on the support plate on the opposite side of the hinge at least one locking lug is formed, which is arranged on the side receiving the line receiving.

Es ist ferner vorgesehen, dass zur elastischen Verformung des dem Scharnier abgewandt liegenden Endbereiches des Druckhebels zwecks der Verrastung mit der Trägerplatte dieser Endbereich eine Durchbrechung aufweist. Es ist ferner vorgesehen, dass der äußere an die Durchbrechung angrenzende äußere Randbereich zwecks der Verrastung eine Rastausnehmung aufweist, in die die an die Trägerplatte angesetzte oder angeformte Rastnase verriegelnd eingreifbar ist.It is further provided that, for the purpose of latching to the carrier plate, this end region has an opening for elastically deforming the end region of the pressure lever facing away from the hinge. It is further provided that the outer adjacent to the opening outer edge region for the purpose of locking has a latching recess into which the attached to the support plate or molded locking lug is interlockably engageable.

Zur Anpassung an die unterschiedlichen Durchmesser der elektrischen Leitungen ist vorgesehen, dass der Druckhebel beidseitig des Druckstückes mehrfach abgewinkelt ist. Dadurch wird für alle Durchmesser eine ausreichende elastische Verformung möglich, so dass die Klemmkräfte ausreichend sind, damit sich die Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung nicht verschiebt.To adapt to the different diameters of the electrical lines is provided that the pressure lever is angled several times on both sides of the pressure piece. As a result, sufficient elastic deformation is possible for all diameters, so that the clamping forces are sufficient so that the identification device does not shift.

Es ist ferner noch vorgesehen, dass die Rastnase hinterschnitten ist, die von der Rastausnehmung in der verrasteten Stellung der Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung hintergriffen ist, und dass die dem Scharnier abgewandte Fläche der Rastnase als Schrägfläche ausgebildet ist, wobei der zur Trägerplatte eingeschlossene Winkel ein spitzer Winkel ist, der vorzugsweise unterhalb von 90° liegt. Es ist ferner vorgesehen, dass die Schrägfläche in einem Bogen verläuft. Daraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass insbesondere bei Leitungen mit einem relativ großen Durchmesser der die Rastausnehmung aufweisende Rastrand entlang dieser Fläche geschoben wird. Die Rastnase ist ferner so ausgeführt, dass die Kraft, die eine Leitung auf das Druckstück ausübt den Druckhebel in die Rastnase hineinzieht, so dass eine sichere Verriegelung gegeben ist. Damit diese Verriegelung gegen unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen gesichert ist, ist die Rastnase hinterschnitten.It is further provided that the detent is undercut, which is engaged behind by the recess in the latched position of the marking device, and that the hinge surface facing away from the latch is formed as an inclined surface, wherein the angle enclosed by the support plate is an acute angle, which is preferably below 90 °. It is further provided that the inclined surface extends in an arc. This results in the advantage that, in particular in the case of lines having a relatively large diameter, the latching edge having the latching recess is pushed along this surface. The locking lug is further designed so that the force exerted by a line on the pressure piece pulls the pressure lever into the latch, so that a secure locking is given. For this lock is secured against unintentional opening, the locking lug is undercut.

Anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen wird die Erfindung noch näher erläutert.Reference to the accompanying drawings, the invention will be explained in more detail.

Die Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung 1 gemäß der Figur 1 besteht aus einer formstabilen Trägerplatte 2 und einem Druckhebel 3, der mittels eines Scharniers in Form eines Filmscharniers 4 an einem Querrand der Trägerplatte 2 festgelegt ist. Wie die Figur 1 zeigt, ist die Trägerplatte 2 viereckig ausgebildet, wobei die beiden Längsseiten deutlich größer sind als die beiden Querseiten. Die Trägerplatte 2 ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mit zwei prismenförmigen Leitungsaufnahmen 5 ausgestattet, die in geringen Abständen sowie im mittleren Bereich zu den Längsseiten stehen. Wie die Figuren 2 bis 9 zeigen, stehen die die elektrische Leitung 11 kontaktierenden Flächen unter einem stumpfen Winkel zueinander. Der Druckhebel 3 ist im mittleren Bereich mit einem Druckstück 6 versehen, welches im verrasteten Zustand des Druckhebels 3 lagegerecht zu den prismenförmigen Leitungsaufnahmen 5 steht. Damit der Druckhebel 3 ausreichend elastisch ist, um an elektrische Leitungen unterschiedlichen Durchmessers festgeklemmt zu werden, ist dieser an einer Längsseite mit einer Ausnehmung 8 versehen. An der Trägerplatte 2 ist an dem dem Scharnier 4 gegenüberliegenden Randbereich eine Rastnase 9 angesetzt oder angeformt. Der Druckhebel 3 ist an dem dem Scharnier 4 abgewandten Endbereich ebenfalls mit einer Durchbrechung 7 versehen, wobei der äußere, freie Randbereich hinterschnitten ist und einen Rastrand 10 bildet. Wie die Figur 1 ferner zeigt, steht das Druckstück 6 beidseitig gegenüber den der Ausnehmung 8 zugeordneten Rändern vor.The marking device 1 according to the FIG. 1 consists of a dimensionally stable support plate 2 and a pressure lever 3, which is fixed by means of a hinge in the form of a film hinge 4 on a transverse edge of the support plate 2. As the FIG. 1 shows, the support plate 2 is formed square, wherein the two longitudinal sides are significantly larger than the two transverse sides. The support plate 2 is equipped in the illustrated embodiment with two prismatic line receptacles 5, which are at short intervals and in the central region to the longitudinal sides. As the FIGS. 2 to 9 show, the electrical line 11 contacting surfaces are at an obtuse angle to each other. The pressure lever 3 is provided in the central region with a pressure piece 6, which is in the latched state of the pressure lever 3 positionally correct to the prismatic line receptacles 5. Thus, the pressure lever 3 is sufficiently elastic to be clamped to electrical lines of different diameters, this is provided on one longitudinal side with a recess 8. On the support plate 2, a detent 9 is attached or formed on the hinge 4 opposite edge region. The pressure lever 3 is also provided on the hinge 4 remote from the end region with an opening 7, wherein the outer, free edge region is undercut and forms a locking edge 10. As the FIG. 1 Furthermore, shows the pressure piece 6 on both sides against the recess 8 associated edges.

Die Figur 2 zeigt die Kennzeichnungsvorrichtung 1 in der Ausgangsstellung, bei der entsprechend der Figur 1 der Klemmhebel 3 in die Ebene der Trägerplatte 2 geschwenkt ist. Zum Festlegen einer in die prismenförmigen Leitungsaufnahmen 5 eingelegten elektrischen Leitung 11 wird der Druckhebel 3 entlang der Achse des Scharniers 4 um einen Winkel geschwenkt, der im Bereich von 180° liegt.The FIG. 2 shows the identification device 1 in the starting position, in accordance with the FIG. 1 the clamping lever 3 is pivoted in the plane of the support plate 2. For fixing an inserted into the prism-shaped line receptacles 5 electrical line 11 of the pressure lever 3 is pivoted along the axis of the hinge 4 by an angle which is in the range of 180 °.

Gemäß der Figur 3 steht das Druckstück 6 noch im Abstand zur elektrischen Leitung 11, während gemäß der Darstellung nach der Figur 4 dieses Druckstück 6 die elektrische Leitung 11 kontaktiert, wobei jedoch der Druckhebel 3 noch die ursprüngliche Ausgangsform beibehält. Entsprechend der Figur 5 wird nunmehr auf den dem Scharnier 4 gegenüberliegenden Randbereich des Druckhebels 3 manuell eine Druckkraft aufgebracht, die eine Verformung des Druckhebels 3 bewirkt. Diese Verformung ist entsprechend der Figur 6 so groß, dass der Rastrand 10 des Druckhebels 3 die an der Trägerplatte 2 angesetzte Rastnase 9 hintergreift.According to the FIG. 3 is the pressure piece 6 still at a distance from the electrical line 11, while according to the illustration of the FIG. 4 this pressure piece 6, the electrical line 11 contacted, but the pressure lever 3 still retains the original initial shape. According to the FIG. 5 is now manually applied to the hinge 4 opposite edge region of the pressure lever 3, a compressive force which causes a deformation of the pressure lever 3. These Deformation is according to the FIG. 6 so large that the latching edge 10 of the pressure lever 3 engages behind the attached to the support plate 2 locking lug 9.

Die Figuren 2 bis 9 zeigen, dass der Druckhebel 3 beidseitig des Druckstückes 6 mehrfach, im gezeichneten Ausführungsbeispiel zweimal abgewinkelt ist. Dadurch wird eine größtmögliche Verformung des Druckhebels 3 erreicht, so dass entsprechend den Figuren 7 bis 9 die Anpassung an unterschiedliche Durchmesser der elektrischen Leitungen 11 gegeben ist. Durch diese Gestaltung wird auch eine Typenvielfalt für den Hersteller und den Anwender vermieden.The FIGS. 2 to 9 show that the pressure lever 3 is bent twice on both sides of the pressure piece 6, twice in the illustrated embodiment. As a result, a maximum deformation of the pressure lever 3 is achieved, so that according to the FIGS. 7 to 9 the adaptation to different diameters of the electrical leads 11 is given. This design also avoids a variety of types for the manufacturer and the user.

Wie die Figuren zeigen, ist die an die Trägerplatte 2 angeformte Rastnase 9 mit einer Schrägfläche 12 versehen, die den Leitungsaufnahmen 5 abgewandt liegt. Der zur Ebene der Trägerplatte 2 eingeschlossene Winkel ist ein spitzer Winkel, liegt jedoch unterhalb von 90°. Die Schrägfläche 12 ist leicht bogenförmig ausgebildet. Durch die vorstehend beschriebene Gestaltung der Rastnase 9 wird erreicht, dass durch die Kraft, die eine Leitung 11 auf das Druckstück 6 ausübt der Druckhebel in die Hinterschneidung 13 der Rastnase 9 hineingezogen wird. Darüber hinaus ist die Verrastung gegen unbeabsichtigtes Lösen noch zusätzlich gesichert.As the figures show, the integrally formed on the support plate 2 locking lug 9 is provided with an inclined surface 12 which faces away from the cable receptacles 5. The included to the plane of the support plate 2 angle is an acute angle, but is below 90 °. The inclined surface 12 is slightly curved. By the above-described design of the locking lug 9 ensures that by the force that exerts a line 11 on the pressure piece 6 of the pressure lever is pulled into the undercut 13 of the locking lug 9. In addition, the catch against unintentional release is additionally secured.

Die Figur 10 zeigt dass der Rastnase 9 noch eine Rastausnehmung 14 zugeordnet ist, die an der die Durchbrechung 7 aufweisenden Seite des Rastrandes 10 vorgesehen ist.The FIG. 10 shows that the locking lug 9 is still associated with a latching recess 14 which is provided on the side of the latching edge 10 having the opening 7.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. Wesentlich ist, dass die Leitungsaufnahme 5 für die elektrische Leitung 11, bezogen auf den verrasteten Zustand des Druckhebels 3, an der Innenseite der Trägerplatte 2 angeordnet ist, wobei der Druckhebel 3 biegeelastisch gestaltet ist.The invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. It is essential that the line receptacle 5 is arranged for the electrical line 11, based on the locked state of the pressure lever 3, on the inside of the support plate 2, wherein the pressure lever 3 is designed to be flexible.
