Das Verbindungselement, das als Steckerteil und Aufnahmeteil ausgebildet ist, dient jedoch nicht zum Anschluss von Verbrauchern.

Diese Kupplungselemente können also nicht als Verbindungselemente in dem zuvor beschriebenen Sinn eingesetzt werden, um die Mehrfachsteckdose durch den Anbau weiterer Module zu verlängern. Bei dieser bekannten Anordnung sind neben den stromführenden Verbindungselementen zusätzlich die Kupplungselemente erforderlich, die an der Außenseite der Module vorgesehen sind und die ausschließlich zum Anschluss von Verbrauchern dienen. Diese Kupplungselemente können also, wie erwähnt, nicht für eine Verbindungsfunktion wie beim Erfindungsgegenstand eingesetzt werden. Da die an der Außenseite vorgesehen, kreisförmig angeordneten Kupplungselemente nur zum Anschluss von Verbraucher dienen, erhält man insgesamt eine sehr aufwändige teuere Vorrichtung.The connecting element, which is designed as a plug part and receiving part, but does not serve to connect consumers. For this purpose, the individual modules of the device are additionally equipped with four coupling elements, which are provided on the cylindrical outer side of the modules. Thus, these coupling elements can not be used as connecting elements in the sense described above be used to extend the multiple socket by the addition of additional modules. In this known arrangement, in addition to the current-carrying connecting elements in addition the coupling elements are required, which are provided on the outside of the modules and which serve exclusively for the connection of consumers. These coupling elements can therefore, as mentioned, not be used for a connection function as in the subject invention.

Das Berührungssehutz-Unterteil sitzt mit der Basisplatte auf dem Topfboden auf, während eine an der Basisplatte angeformte Seitenwandung so durch die Aussparung greift, dass die Abdeckkappe von der Rückseite des Steckdoseneinsatzes auf das Berührungsschutz-Unterteil aufrastbar ist. Dieser sehr aufwändige Berührungsschutz ist nicht mit dem Erfindungsgegenstand vergleichbar, der, wie zuvor ausgeführt, eine andere Aufgabenstellung aufweist.The Berührungssehutz base sits with the base plate on the bottom of the pot, while an integrally formed on the base plate side wall engages through the recess, that the cap from the back of the socket insert on the contact protection lower part is latched. This very complex contact protection is not comparable with the subject invention, which, as stated above, has a different task.
Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen und die Verbindungselemente so ausbilden, dass sie mehrere Funktionen erfüllen können. Zum einen sollen sie als Verbindungselement und zum anderen zum Anschluss von Verbrauchern dienen.Here, the invention seeks to remedy the situation and form the fasteners so that they can fulfill several functions. On the one hand, they should serve as a connecting element and on the other hand to connect consumers.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Mehrfachsteckdose derart auszubilden und anzuordnen, dass sie mit einfachen baulichen Mitteln auf beliebige Weise derart sicher ineinander gefügt werden kann, dass die kubisch ausgebildeten Module beliebig erweiterbar verändert bzw. verlängert werden können, ohne dass sie bei seitlich größeren Belastungen auseinander fallen.The invention has for its object to form the multiple socket and arrange so that they can be so securely interlocked with simple construction means in any way that the cubic modules can be changed or extended arbitrarily expandable without them laterally larger Burdens fall apart.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass
- a) das Steckermodul kubisch ausgebildet ist und eine oder mehrere plane Oberflächen aufweist, auf denen jeweils ein Stecker oder eine Kupplung vorgesehen ist,
- b) die einzelnen Steckermodule zur Stromversorgung mindestens einen Stecker und zur Stromaufnahme oder Stromweiterleitung eine Kupplung aufweisen,
- c) die Kupplung mit Hilfe von ineinander steckbaren Sicherungselementen gesichert werden kann, wobei die zur Verbindung der einzelnen Module vorgesehenen Kraft- und/oder Formschlussverbindungen sowie die übrigen Stecker- und Kupplungselemente eine Normgröße aufweisen und derart ausgebildet sind, dass sie als Verbindungselement einsetzbar und auch zur Aufnahme von weiteren Steckern und/oder Kupplungen dienen können,
- d) die Kraftschlussverbindung aus einer Erhöhung (Nase) besteht, die auf der Oberfläche des Kupplungsmoduls ausgebildet ist und aus einer Vertiefung und/oder einer Rastvertiefung, in die die Erhöhung axial und nach einer Drehung in einer Ausdrehung axial zusammengefügt werden kann.
- a) the plug module is cubic and has one or more planar surfaces, on each of which a plug or a coupling is provided,
- b) the individual plug modules for power supply have at least one plug and for current consumption or current transmission a coupling,
- c) the coupling can be secured by means of plug-in securing elements, wherein the connection of the individual modules provided force and / or positive connection and the remaining male and coupling elements have a standard size and are designed such that they can be used as a connecting element and also can serve for receiving further plugs and / or couplings,
- d) the frictional connection consists of an elevation (nose), which is formed on the surface of the coupling module and a recess and / or a detent recess into which the elevation can be axially assembled axially and after rotation in a recess.
Durch die kubische Ausbildung der Module mit den rechtwinklig zueinander angeordneten Flächen lassen sich die Steckermodule mit Hilfe der Stecker und der Kupplungen durch Anbau weiterer Module in jede beliebige Richtung verändern , da auf jeder einzeinen Fläche eine Kupplung bzw. der zugehörige Stecker vorgesehen werden kann. Aus dem Stand der Technik ist dazu keine Anregung dem Fachmann an die Hand gegeben. Durch die Sicherungselemente wird ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen der Module verhindert. Die Sicherungselemente sind besonders in
Hierdurch wird auf einfache Weise ein Steckermodulsystem geschaffen, das beliebig an unterschiedliche Arbeitsbedingungen angepasst, verlängert und somit verändert werden kann. Durch die kubische Ausbildung von Stecker- und Kupplungsmodul erhält man an allen Seiten und auch an den nebeneinanderliegenden, rechtwinklig zueinander angeordneten Seiten eine große Anlagefläche für die zu verbinden Teile, die insbesondere zusammen mit den Kraft- und Formschlusselementen eine sichere robuste Verbindung gewährleisten, wenn die zusammengefügten Teile im Einsatz sind. Stecker und Kupplung dienen nicht nur zur Stromversorgung von mehreren zusammengesetzten Modulen, sondern bilden gleichzeitig auch eine sichere Verbindung, sodass auf die bisher zusätzlich vorgesehenen, speziell ausgebildeten Verbindungselemente verzichtet werden kann. Wird z. B. ein Stecker von einem stromführenden Kupplungsmodul getrennt, so verschließt ein Sicherungselement automatisch die Kupplungsöffnungen.As a result, a plug module system is created in a simple manner, which is arbitrarily adapted to different working conditions, extended and thus can be changed. Due to the cubic design of plug and coupling module is obtained on all sides and also on the adjacent, right angles to each other arranged sides a large contact surface for the parts to be joined, in particular, together with the force and form-fitting elements ensure a secure robust connection when the assembled parts are in use. Plug and coupling not only serve to power multiple composite modules, but also form a secure connection, so that can be dispensed with the previously additionally provided, specially designed fasteners. If z. B. a plug disconnected from a live coupling module, a fuse element automatically closes the coupling openings.
Die kubische Formgebung der einzelnen Module ermöglicht eine beliebige sehr sichere Verlängerung der Module, da alle planen Flächen der kubischen Module zur Aufnahme von Kupplungen bzw. Steckern dienen können. Da die Kupplungen auch an den rechtwinklig zueinander ausgerichteten beiden nebeneinander liegenden Flächen vorgesehen sind, können diese nicht nur in eine Richtung, sondern um eine um 90° abgewinkelte Wegführung verlängert werden, ohne dass zu befürchten ist, dass diese bei einer rechtwinkligen Anordnung, insbesondere an der Abknickstelle, auseinander brechen. Die vorteilhafte Ausbildung der kubischen Module mit den zahlreichen Kupplungen innerhalb eines Moduls machen das Steckermodul vielseitig einsetzbar.The cubic design of the individual modules allows any very safe extension of the modules, since all plan surfaces of the cubic modules can serve to accommodate couplings or plugs. Since the couplings are also provided on the two mutually adjacent surfaces at right angles to each other, they can be extended not only in one direction, but by a 90 ° angled Wegführung, without fear that these in a rectangular arrangement, in particular to the kink, break apart. The advantageous design of the cubic modules with the numerous couplings within a module make the connector module versatile.
Anstelle der kubischen Module zur Aufnahme von Kupplungen bzw. Steckern können auch andere Module wie - im Querschnitt gesehen - dreieckförmige Module mit planen Oberflächen eingesetzt werden, wobei die Anlageflächen stets plan ausgebildet sein sollen, um bei der Anlage dieser Flächen eine hohe Seitenstabilität der zusammengefügten Module sichergestellt wird.Instead of the cubic modules for receiving couplings or plugs, other modules such as - seen in cross-section - triangular modules with flat surfaces are used, the contact surfaces should always be designed flat to the installation of these surfaces high lateral stability of the assembled modules is ensured.
Die Module können sowohl als Auf- als auch als Unterputzeinrichtungen eingesetzt werden und unterschiedlich verlaufenden, im Mauerwerk vorgesehenen Vertiefungen folgen. Stecker und Kupplung vereinen auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise zwei Funktionen. Sie dienen einmal als Verbindung zwischen mehreren Modulen und gleichzeitig auch als stromführende Bauteile, an die jeder handelsübliche Stecker an jeder Seite angeschlossen werden kann. Da alle Anschlüsse der Module der gleichen Norm unterliegen, sind die erfindungsgemäßen Module kostengünstig herzustellen und universell einsetzbar. Andere Bauformen z. B. rechteckige mit einer schmalen gebogenen Längsseite oder sechsecksförmige mit abgerundeten Flächen versehene Module bieten hierzu nicht die beschriebenen Möglichkeiten. Insbesondere runde bzw. gebogene Flächen der Module können nicht zur Aufnahme von mehreren Kupplungsmodulen verwendet werden. Werden zwei gebogene Flächen von Modulen zusammengefügt, so ist die Verbindung aufgrund der Krümmung sehr instabil.The modules can be used both as an up and as a Unterputzeinrichtungen and different running, provided in the masonry wells follow. Plug and coupling combine a simple and cost-effective Way two functions. They serve once as a connection between several modules and at the same time as current-carrying components, to which any commercially available plug can be connected on each side. Since all connections of the modules are subject to the same standard, the modules according to the invention are inexpensive to produce and universally applicable. Other designs z. B. rectangular with a narrow curved longitudinal side or hexagonal provided with rounded surfaces modules do not offer the possibilities described. In particular, round or curved surfaces of the modules can not be used to accommodate multiple coupling modules. If two curved surfaces of modules are joined, the connection is very unstable due to the curvature.
Es ist dazu vorteilhaft, dass die einzelnen Steckermodule zur Stromversorgung mindestens einen Stecker und zur Stromaufnahme oder Stromweiterleitung eine Kupplung aufweisen, wobei der Stecker auch direkt an eine stationäre Stromversorgung angeschlossen werden kann. Durch die vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des Steckermoduls ist es also auch möglich, den am Steckermodul vorgesehenen Stecker zum Anschluss an eine Steckerdose zu verwenden und damit die Stromversorgung sicherzustellen.It is advantageous for the individual plug-in modules to have at least one plug for power supply and for current consumption or current transmission to have a coupling, wherein the plug can also be connected directly to a stationary power supply. Due to the advantageous embodiment of the plug-in module, it is thus also possible to use the connector provided on the plug connector for connection to a plug socket and thus to ensure the power supply.
Eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit ist gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung, dass zumindest ein Steckermodul die Kabelverbindung zum Anschluss an eine stationäre Stromversorgung aufweist. Diese Einrichtung ist dann von Vorteil, wenn die Steckerdose in einem Haushalt nicht leicht zugänglich ist beispielweise durch ein Möbelstück verdeckt wird, oder wenn aus Platzgründen das Steckermodul nicht ohne weiteres in eine an einer Wand montierte Steckerdose angeschlossen werden kann.An additional possibility, according to a development of the invention, that at least one plug module has the cable connection for connection to a stationary power supply. This device is advantageous if the socket in a household is not easily accessible, for example, is covered by a piece of furniture, or if the plug-in module can not be easily connected in a wall-mounted plug socket for reasons of space.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, dass jedes Steckermodul neben einem Stecker und einer Kupplung mindestens einen weiteren Stecker und/oder eine weitere Kupplung aufweist, das Steckermodul kubisch ausgebildet ist und eine oder mehrere plane Oberflächen aufweist, auf denen jeweils ein Stecker oder eine Kupplung vorgesehen ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous for each plug module to have, in addition to a plug and a coupling, at least one further plug and / or a further coupling, the plug module being cubic and one or more has a plurality of flat surfaces, on each of which a plug or a coupling is provided.
Vorteilhaft ist es auch, dass zwei Mittelebenen des Steckers und der Kupplung rechtwinklig zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Hierdurch hat der Anwender die Möglichkeit, die eine Mehrfachsteckdose beliebig auszugestalten und unterschiedlichen Raumbedingungen anzupassen. Da die Stecker und das zugehörige Steckermodul auch rechtwinklig zueinander ausgerichtet sind, kann das Steckermodul auch um den Eckbereich von zwei zusammenlaufenden Wänden herumgeführt werden.It is also advantageous that two center planes of the plug and the coupling are aligned at right angles to each other. As a result, the user has the opportunity to design a multi-socket as desired and adapt to different room conditions. Since the plugs and the associated plug module are also aligned at right angles to each other, the plug module can also be guided around the corner region of two converging walls.
Vorteilhaft ist es auch, dass insbesondere die Kupplung und/oder der Stecker Sicherungselemente aufweisen, die einen leichten Zugang zu den stromführenden Teilen verhindern, wobei das Sicherungselement als Öffnungen aufweisende Drehscheibe ausgebildet ist, die gegen die Wirkung einer Stellkraft in einer in der Kupplung vorgesehenen radialen Schlitzführung verstellbar aufgenommen ist.It is also advantageous that in particular the coupling and / or the plug have securing elements, which prevent easy access to the current-carrying parts, wherein the securing element is designed as openings having rotary disk, against the action of a force in a provided in the clutch radial Slot guide is added adjustable.
Das Sicherungselement in einer Schlitzführung um eine senkrecht zur Oberfläche des Bodens der Kupplung verlaufende Achse kann nur dann verstellt werden, wenn der Stecker in die Kupplung eingesetzt wird. Dadurch wird der Gefahrenmoment insbesondere für Kleinkinder wesentlich herabgesetzt. Außerdem verbleibt das Sicherungselement auch dann in seiner Schlitzführung, wenn der Stecker aus den Kontaktöffnungen der Kupplung herausgezogen wird, da die radial verlaufende Schlitzführung ein Herausnehmen des Sicherungselements in Bewegungsrichtung des Steckers quer zur Radialebene verhindert. Damit werden insbesondere kleine Kinder geschützt.The securing element in a slot guide about an axis perpendicular to the surface of the bottom of the coupling axis can only be adjusted when the plug is inserted into the coupling. As a result, the moment of danger is significantly reduced, especially for small children. In addition, the securing element also remains in its slot guide when the plug is pulled out of the contact openings of the coupling, since the radially extending slot guide prevents removal of the securing element in the direction of movement of the plug transversely to the radial plane. This protects especially small children.
Ferner ist es von Vorteil, dass die Form- und/oder Kraftschlussverbindung aus einer am Stecker oder an der Kupplung angeordneten Nase und der umlaufenden Umrandung besteht, die als Erhöhung auf der Oberfläche des Kupplungsmoduls ausgebildet ist und einer Vertiefung und/oder einer Rastvertiefung besteht, die axial und bei einer Drehung zusammengefügt werden kann, wobei die Nase in eine in der Rastvertiefung vorgesehene radiale Ausdrehung eingedreht und gesichert wird und gleichzeitig Steckerstifte in die in der Kupplung vorgesehenen Öffnungen eingeführt sind.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the positive and / or frictional connection consists of a plug or on the clutch arranged nose and the peripheral border, which is formed as an increase on the surface of the coupling module and a depression and / or a detent recess, which can be assembled axially and in one rotation, wherein the nose is screwed into a provided in the locking recess radial recess and secured and at the same time plug pins are inserted into the openings provided in the coupling.
Vorteilhaft ist auch eine Vorrichtung mit folgenden Merkmalen:
- a) die Mehrfachsteckdose besteht aus mindestens einem Steckermodul, das über die Kabelverbindung an eine bewegliche oder stationäre Stromversorgung und über einen Stecker oder eine Kupplung an eine weitere Kupplung oder einen Stecker angeschlossen werden kann;
- b) das Steckermodul (8) ist kubisch ausgebildet und weist eine oder mehrere plane Oberflächen auf, auf denen jeweils ein Stecker oder eine Kupplung vorgesehen ist;
- c) die Kupplung und/oder der Stecker weisen eine Form- und/oder Kraftschlussverbindung auf;
- d) die Form- und/oder Kraftschlussverbindung besteht aus einer umlaufend geschlossenen Vertiefung und/oder einer Erhöhung, die durch eine Axial- und Radialbewegung miteinander lösbar verbunden werden können.
- e) alle Form- und/oder Kraftschlussverbindungen weisen eine einheitliche Normgröße auf, sodass sie beliebig miteinander verbunden werden können.
- a) the multiple socket consists of at least one connector module that can be connected via the cable connection to a movable or stationary power supply and a plug or a coupling to another coupling or a plug;
- b) the plug module (8) is cubic and has one or more planar surfaces, on each of which a plug or a coupling is provided;
- c) the coupling and / or the plug have a positive and / or frictional connection;
- d) the positive and / or frictional connection consists of a circumferentially closed recess and / or an increase, which can be releasably connected together by an axial and radial movement.
- e) all form and / or frictional connections have a uniform standard size, so that they can be connected to each other.
Da die einzelnen Steckermodule eine kubische Form aufweisen, lassen sich diese auf einfache Weise für Aufdrucke, Informationen oder Werbehinweise verwenden, wobei die Flächen auch hinterleuchtet werden können, wenn das Steckermodul mit Strom versorgt wird. Insgesamt lässt sich das Steckermodul leicht und kostengünstig herstellen und bietet im Einsatz eine optimale Sicherheit, insbesondere wenn sich Kleinkinder im Haushalt befinden, da das Sicherungselement beim Ziehen des Steckers auf jeden Fall in der Kupplung zurückbleibt und damit stets zuverlässig schützt.Since the individual connector modules have a cubic shape, they can be used in a simple way for imprints, information or advertising advices, the surfaces can also be backlit when the connector module is powered. Overall, the connector module can be easily and inexpensively manufactured and provides optimum safety in use, especially when toddlers are in the home, since the fuse element remains when pulling the plug in any case in the clutch and thus always reliable protection.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Formschlussverbindung aus einem Schiebeelement besteht, das entweder am Stecker oder an der Kupplung vorgesehen ist und in entsprechende, entweder am Stecker oder an der Kupplung vorgesehene Rastvertiefungen radial eingeführt werden kann und die Formschlussverbindung, insbesondere die zugehörige Nase, gegen die Wirkung einer Stellkraft, insbesondere Federkraft, verstellt und mit deren Hilfe arretiert werden kann.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the form-locking connection consists of a sliding element which is provided either on the plug or on the coupling and can be introduced radially into corresponding locking recesses provided either on the plug or on the coupling and the form-locking connection, in particular the associated nose, against the action of a force, in particular spring force, adjusted and locked with their help.
Vorteilhaft ist es auch, dass die Formschlussverbindung mit ihrer Vertiefung zur Aufnahme eines Steckers ein mit einer Federkraft beauschlagbares Sicherungselement aufweist, das im Bereich einer Steckeröffnung vorgesehen und derart schwenk- oder verschiebbar ist, dass die Kupplungsöffnungen nach Herausnehmen der Steckerstifte aus den Kupplungsöffnungen diese automatisch bzw. gleichzeitig verschließen.It is also advantageous that the positive connection with its recess for receiving a plug has a beauschlagbares with a spring security element which is provided in the region of a plug opening and is pivotable or displaceable, that the coupling openings after removing the pins from the coupling openings this automatically or Close at the same time.
Eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit ist gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung, dass dass die Formschlussverbindung als verstellbare Nase ausgebildet ist, die gegen die Wirkung einer Stellkraft, insbesondere Federkraft, und/oder eines Stellknopfs verstellt und mit deren Hilfe arretiert werden kann, wobei die zugehörige Nase in eine an der Stirnseite des Steckermoduls vorgesehene Öffnung des zweiten bzw. gegenüberliegenden Steckermoduls eingeführt und verrastet werden kann.An additional possibility, according to a development of the invention, that the positive connection is designed as an adjustable nose, which can be adjusted against the action of a force, in particular spring force, and / or a knob and locked with their help, the associated nose in a provided on the front side of the plug module opening of the second or opposite plug module can be inserted and locked.
