From DE 87 04 494 111, a connection terminal with a spring force clamping connection and an actuating lever is known. The actuating lever is pivotally mounted with its axis of rotation in Leitereinsteckrichtung seen behind the nip below the clamping spring. At the free clamping leg end an actuating tab is bent, which cooperates with an actuating finger of the actuating lever to open the Federkraftklemmanschlusses.
Ausgehend hiervon ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine verbesserte, möglichst kleinbauende Anschlussklemme mit einem Federkraftklemman- schluss und Betätigungshebel zu schaffen, der auch im Hinblick auf die Kraftwirkung des Betätigungshebels auf die Anschlussklemme verbessert ist. Proceeding from this, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved, as small as possible terminal with a Federkraftklemman- circuit and operating lever, which is also improved in terms of the force of the actuating lever to the terminal.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Anschlussklemme mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. The object is achieved by the terminal with the features of claim 1.
Bei einer gattungsgemäßen Anschlussklemme der eingangs genannten Art sind für jeden Federkraftklemmanschluss jeweils zwei einander gegenüberliegende Betätigungsabschnitte zur Aufnahme eines zugeordneten Klemmabschnitts der Klemmfeder des zugeordneten Federkraftklemmanschlusses mindestens teilweise in dem Raum zwischen den gegenüberliegenden Betätigungsabschnitten vorgesehen. An mindestens einem Betätigungsabschnitt eines Paares einander gegenüberliegende Betätigungsabschnitte für einen Federkraftklemmanschluss ist eine Kontur zur Beaufschlagung der zugeordneten Klemmfeder vorhanden. Die Drehachse des Betätigungshebels erstreckt sich quer zu der durch die Leitereinführungsöffnung definierten Leitereinführungsrichtung und liegt im Raum zwischen der von dem die Klemmstelle bildenden Stromschienenstückabschnitt aufgespannten Ebene und einer hierzu parallelen Ebene, in der die Klemmkante der Klemmfeder bei der durch Umschwenken des Betätigungshebels voll- ständig geöffneten Klemmfeder liegt. In a generic terminal of the type mentioned in each case two opposite actuating portions for receiving an associated clamping portion of the clamping spring of the associated Federkraftklemmanschlusses are at least partially provided in the space between the opposite actuating portions for each Federkraftklemmanschluss. On at least one operating portion of a pair of opposing operating portions for a spring terminal connection a contour for acting on the associated clamping spring is present. The axis of rotation of the actuating lever extends transversely to the conductor insertion direction defined by the conductor insertion opening and lies in the space between the plane formed by the conductor rail piece section forming the clamping point and a plane parallel thereto, in which the clamping edge of the clamping spring is completely closed by swiveling the actuating lever. constantly open clamping spring is located.
Durch die Anordnung des Betätigungshebels mit seiner Drehachse in der Leitereinführungsöffnung oder in der Flucht der Leitereinführungsöffnung zur Klemmstelle hin erfolgt die Drehung des Betätigungshebels im Bereich der Klemmstelle oder im davor liegenden Raum. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der Betätigungshebel überaus platzsparend im Isolierstoffgehäuse aufgenommen werden kann und dabei gleichzeitig als Wand des Leitereinführungskanals zur Führung eines elektrischen Leiters dient. Damit ersetzt der Betätigungshebel einen Teil der Führungswand für einen elektrischen Leiter der Leitereinführungsöffnung. Due to the arrangement of the actuating lever with its axis of rotation in the conductor insertion opening or in the alignment of the conductor insertion opening to the clamping point, the rotation of the actuating lever in the region of the nip or in front of it takes place space. This has the advantage that the operating lever can be accommodated extremely space-saving in the insulating housing and at the same time serves as a wall of the conductor insertion channel for guiding an electrical conductor. Thus, the operating lever replaces a part of the guide wall for an electrical conductor of the conductor insertion opening.
Das Verlegen der Drehachse in den Bereich der Klemmstelle bzw. in die Flucht der davor liegenden Leitereinführungsöffnung hat zudem den kinematischen Vorteil, dass die Betätigung der Klemmfeder relativ nah zur Drehachse erfolgt, was die Hebelkräfte auf das Isolierstoffgehäuse verringert. The laying of the axis of rotation in the region of the nip or in the alignment of the preceding conductor insertion opening also has the kinematic advantage that the actuation of the clamping spring takes place relatively close to the axis of rotation, which reduces the leverage forces on the insulating material.
Vorteilhafterweise stellt der Betätigungshebel beidseits eine seitliche Begrenzungswand zur Führung eines in Leitereinführungsrichtung in eine Leitereinfüh- rungsöffnung eingeführten elektrischen Leiters zu einer zugeordneten Klemmstelle bereit. Durch die beidseits eines jeweiligen Federkraftklemmanschlusses angeordneten Betätigungsabschnitte wird ein U-förmiger Betätigungshebel geschaffen, der durch verdrehfest ist eine gute Drehlagerung im Isolierstoffgehäuse ermöglicht. Die mindestens eine Klemmfeder ist als eine U-förmig gebo- gene Klemmfeder ausgestaltet, deren freier Klemmabschnitt schräg in Richtung eines zugeordneten Stromschienenstücks weist. Mit Hilfe einer solchen U- förmig gebogenen Klemmfeder ist ein direktes Einklemmen eines elektrischen Leiters ohne vorheriges Öffnen der Klemmfeder mit dem zugeordneten Betätigungshebel möglich. Dies ist auch als Direktstecktechnik bekannt. Advantageously, the actuating lever provides on both sides a lateral boundary wall for guiding an electrical conductor introduced into a conductor insertion opening in the conductor insertion direction to an associated clamping point. By arranged on both sides of a respective Federkraftklemmanschlusses actuating sections, a U-shaped actuating lever is provided, which allows a good rotational support in the insulating material by rotationally. The at least one clamping spring is designed as a U-shaped bent clamping spring whose free clamping section has an angle in the direction of an associated busbar piece. With the help of such a U-shaped bent spring a direct clamping of an electrical conductor without prior opening of the clamping spring with the associated operating lever is possible. This is also known as direct plug-in technology.
Die Stromschiene im Abschnitt, der die Klemmstelle bildet, definiert unbeacht- lieh etwaiger Erhebungen für eine Kontaktkante eine erste Ebene, zu der eine zweite gedachte Ebene aufgespannt wird. Diese zweite Ebene ist derart von der Ebene des Stromschienenstücks beabstandet, dass die Klemmkante einer geöffneten Klemmfeder diese Ebene berührt. Der Zwischenraum zwischen den Ebenen bildet den bevorzugten Raum, in dem die Drehachse des Betätigungshebels sein sollte, um eine überaus kompakt bauende, mechanisch stabile Anschlussklemme bereitzustellen. The busbar in the section that forms the terminal point defines unobtrusively lends any surveys for a contact edge a first plane to which a second imaginary plane is spanned. This second plane is spaced from the plane of the bus bar piece in such a way that the clamping edge of an opened clamping spring touches this plane. The gap between the planes forms the preferred space in which the axis of rotation of the actuating lever should be in order to provide a very compact, mechanically stable connection terminal.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn mindestens ein Betätigungshebel in einen angrenzend an einen Klemmabschnitt des zugeordneten Stromschienenstücks eingebrachten Ausschnitt des Stromschienenstücks eintaucht. Der Betätigungshebel beaufschlagt dann mit einem Betätigungsabschnitt einen über die Breite einer zugeordneten Klemmfeder gesehen neben dem Klemmabschnitt der Klemmfeder angeordnete Betätigungslasche, um die Klemmfeder zu öff- nen. Mit Hilfe des Ausschnitts an einer Seitenkante des Stromschienenstücks gelingt es, den Betätigungshebel platzsparend aufzunehmen. Über die Breite des Stromschienenstücks und der zugeordneten Klemmfeder gesehen, ist dann an dem Klemmabschnitt der Klemmfeder unterhalb dieses Ausschnitts eine Betätigungslasche herausgestellt, die dann von dem Betätigungsabschnitt des Betätigungshebels bei Verschwenken des Betätigungshebels beaufschlagt wird, um die Klemmfeder zu öffnen. Die elektrische Kontaktierung eines elektrischen Leiters erfolgt dann angrenzend an diesen Ausschnitt des Stromschienenstücks bzw. über die Breite gesehen angrenzend an die Betätigungslasche durch den Klemmabschnitt der Klemmfeder und eine vorzugsweise vorgestellte Kontaktkante des Stromschienenstücks. It is particularly advantageous if at least one actuating lever dips into a cutout of the busbar section introduced adjacent to a clamping section of the associated busbar section. The actuating lever then acts on an actuating section with an actuating lug arranged next to the clamping section of the clamping spring over the width of an associated clamping spring in order to open the clamping spring. With the help of the cutout on one side edge of the busbar piece, it is possible to save the operating lever to save space. Seen over the width of the busbar piece and the associated clamping spring, an actuating tab is then exposed to the clamping portion of the clamping spring below this section, which is then acted upon by the actuating portion of the actuating lever upon pivoting of the actuating lever to open the clamping spring. The electrical contacting of an electrical conductor is then adjacent to this section of the busbar piece or across the width seen adjacent to the actuating tab by the clamping portion of the clamping spring and a preferably presented contact edge of the busbar piece.
Die Betätigungslasche ist vorzugsweise von der Klemmfeder freigestellt, z.B. durch Freistanzen oder Freischneiden, und ragt schräg von dem Klemmabschnitt der Klemmfeder ab. The actuating tab is preferably free of the clamping spring, e.g. by free punching or free cutting, and protrudes obliquely from the clamping portion of the clamping spring.
Der mindestens eine Betätigungshebel hat vorzugsweise einen Betätigungs- arm, der sich im geschlossenen Zustand des zugeordneten Federkraftklemmanschlusses in Leitereinsteckrichtung erstreckt. Damit endet das freie Ende des Betätigungsarms gegenüberliegend zur Leitereinstecköffnung im Bereich der Rückseite der Anschlussklemme. Damit ist eine sehr kompakte Bauweise der Anschlussklemme möglich. The at least one actuating lever preferably has an actuating arm, which extends in the closed state of the associated Federkraftklemmanschlusses in Leitereinsteckrichtung. Thus ends the free end of the actuating arm opposite to the conductor insertion in the back of the terminal. This makes a very compact design of the terminal possible.
Denkbar ist aber auch, dass der mindestens eine Betätigungshebel einen Betätigungsarm hat, der sich an der Unterseite oder der Oberseite der Anschlussklemme in Leitereinsteckrichtung oder entgegengesetzt hierzu erstreckt. Für möglichst kompakt bauende Varianten der Anschlussklemme sind insbesondere Kombinationen denkbar, bei denen sich Betätigungsarme der Betätigungshebel alternierend in Leitereinsteckrichtung und entgegengesetzt hierzu erstrecken bzw. alternierend auf der Unterseite und Oberseite in gleiche Richtungen oder in alternierend in entgegengesetzte Richtungen erstrecken. It is also conceivable that the at least one operating lever has an actuating arm which extends on the underside or the top of the terminal in Leiterereinsteckrichtung or opposite thereto. Combinations of the connecting terminal which are as compact as possible are conceivable, in particular, in which actuating arms of the actuating lever extend alternately in the conductor insertion direction and in the opposite direction, or extend alternately on the underside and the upper side in the same directions or in alternating directions in opposite directions.
Diese Ausführungsformen sind insbesondere abhängig von der konkreten Kombination von Federkraftanschlussklemmen und deren räumliche Lage zueinander. In einer diesbezüglich bevorzugten Ausführungsform hat die Anschlussklemme mindestens ein Paar voneinander gegenüberliegenden Federkraftanschlussklemmen mit aufeinander zulaufenden Leitereinführungsöffnungen an der einander gegenüberliegenden Vorderseite und Rückseite der Anschlussklemme. Bei dieser Ausführungsform können elektrische Leiter somit sowohl von der Vorderseite als auch von der Rückseite der Anschlussklemme in entgegengesetzte Leitereinführungsrichtungen eingesteckt und mit zugeordneten Federkraftanschlussklemmen kontaktiert werden. Jede Federkraftanschlussklemme eines solchen Paares mit einander gegenüberliegenden, gegebenenfalls versetzten Leitereinführungsöffnungen, hat jeweils einen Betätigungshebel mit einem Betätigungsarm, deren Betätigungsarme in entgegengesetzte Richtungen voneinander weisen. Die Betätigungsarme werden dabei vorzugsweise in dem Raum zwischen zwei Leitereinführungsöffnungen oberhalb bzw. unterhalb der Leitereinführungsöffnungen an der Oberseite oder Unterseite der Anschlussklemme in zugeordnete Vertiefungen des Isolierstoffgehäuses aufgenommen. These embodiments are particularly dependent on the specific combination of spring terminals and their spatial position to each other. In a preferred embodiment, the terminal has at least one pair of opposed spring terminals with converging conductor entry openings at the opposite front and back of the terminal. In this embodiment, electrical conductors can thus be plugged in from both the front and the back of the terminal in opposite conductor insertion directions and contacted with associated spring terminals. Each spring terminal of such a pair with opposing, optionally offset conductor insertion openings, each having an actuating lever with an actuating arm, the actuating arms facing each other in opposite directions. The actuating arms are preferably received in the space between two conductor insertion openings above or below the conductor insertion openings at the top or bottom of the terminal in associated recesses of the insulating material.
Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Betätigungsarme eines Paares von Betätigungshebeln auf der gleichen Seite oder alternativ auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Anschlussklemme angeordnet sind. In this embodiment, it is particularly advantageous if the actuating arms of a pair of actuating levers are arranged on the same side or alternatively on opposite sides of the connecting terminal.

So zeigt Figur 1 eine Ausführungsform einer mehrreihigen Anschlussklemme 1 in Form einer Dosenklemme. Diese Anschlussklemme 1 hat mehrere neben- einander liegende und elektrisch leitend miteinander verbundene Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 von denen der linke sichtbar ist. Es ist erkennbar, dass eine Klemmfeder 4 in ein Stromschienenstück 5 angehängt ist. Die Klemmfeder 4 ist U-förmig gebogen, so dass ein Klemmabschnitt 6 mit einer Klemmkante am freien Ende zur Bildung einer Klemmstelle gegen den Stromschienenstück- abschnitt 5a ragt. I m unbelasteten Zustand ohne eingeklemmten elektrischen Leiter liegt die Klemmkante an dem Stromschienenstückabschnitt 5a. Thus, Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a multi-row terminal 1 in the form of a terminal box. This terminal 1 has several secondary lying and electrically conductively interconnected Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 of which the left is visible. It can be seen that a clamping spring 4 is attached in a busbar piece 5. The clamping spring 4 is bent in a U-shape, so that a clamping section 6 protrudes with a clamping edge at the free end to form a nip against the busbar piece section 5a. In the unloaded state without clamped electrical conductors, the clamping edge lies on the busbar section 5a.
Jeder Federkraftklemmanschluss 3 stellt eine Klemmstelle durch einen am frei- en, beweglichen Ende der Klemmfeder gebildeten Klemmabschnitt 6 und insbesondere durch die Klemmkante am freien Ende der Klemmfeder 4 sowie an dem dem Klemmabschnitt 6 gegenüberliegenden Stromschienenstückabschnitt 5a bereit. Zum Einführen eines elektrischen Leiters zu der Klemmstelle ist für jeden Federkraftklemmanschluss 3 eine zugeordnete Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 in das Isolierstoffgehäuse eingebracht. Die Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 hat einen Durchmesser, der an den grö ßtmöglichen zulässigen Querschnitt mitsamt Isolierstoffmantel eines elektrischen Leiters angepasst ist. Each spring-force clamping connection 3 provides a clamping point by means of a clamping section 6 formed on the free, movable end of the clamping spring and in particular by the clamping edge at the free end of the clamping spring 4 and on the busbar section 5a opposite the clamping section 6. For introducing an electrical conductor to the terminal point, an associated conductor insertion opening 7 is introduced into the insulating material housing for each spring terminal connection 3. The conductor insertion opening 7 has a diameter which is adapted to the largest possible permissible cross-section together with the insulating jacket of an electrical conductor.
Zum Öffnen der Klemmfedern 4 hat jeder Federkraftklemmanschluss 3a, 3b einen Betätigungshebel 8 mit einem Betätigungsabschnitt 9 sowie einen daran angrenzenden, sich in einer Längsrichtung erstreckenden Betätigungsarm 1 0. To open the clamping springs 4, each spring terminal connection 3a, 3b has an actuating lever 8 with an actuating portion 9 and an adjoining, extending in a longitudinal direction actuating arm 1 0th
Die Betätigungshebel 8 sind in Schließstellung der Klemmstellen gezeigt. Die Betätigungshebel 8 können um etwa 90 ° von der Schließstellung zur Offenstel- lung umgeschwenkt werden. Hierzu sind die Betätigungshebel 8 mit ihren Betätigungsabschnitten 9 und insbesondere der Drehachse D, um die der jeweilige Betätigungshebel 8 schwenkbar im Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 der Anschlussklemme gelagert ist, im Raum der zugeordneten Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 bzw. in Leitereinführungsrichtung L zur Klemmstelle in der weiterführenden Verlängerung der Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 angeordnet. Erkennbar ist weiterhin, dass in Richtung der Breite der Klemmfeder 4 gesehen neben dem Klemmabschnitt 6 jeweils eine Betätigungslasche 1 1 freigestellt ist und von dem Klemmabschnitt 6 schräg abragt. Eine angepasste Kontur des Betätigungsabschnitts 9 des zugeordneten Betätigungshebels 8 beaufschlagt beim Verschwenken des Betätigungshebels 8 von der Schließstellung zur Offenstellung diese Betätigungslasche 1 1 während des Bewegungsablaufs mindestens teilweise. Auf diese Weise wird der Klemmabschnitt 6 der Klemmfeder 4 von dem angrenzenden, die Klemmstelle bildenden Stromschienenstückab- schnitt 5a weg bewegt, um die Klemmfeder 4 zu öffnen. The actuating lever 8 are shown in the closed position of the clamping points. The actuating levers 8 can be swiveled by about 90 ° from the closed position to the open position. For this purpose, the actuating lever 8 with its operating sections 9 and in particular the axis of rotation D, about which the respective actuating lever 8 is pivotally mounted in the insulating 2 of the terminal, in the space of the associated conductor insertion opening 7 and in the conductor insertion direction L to the nip in the continuing extension of the conductor insertion opening. 7 arranged. It can also be seen that in the direction of the width of the clamping spring 4, in addition to the clamping section 6, an actuating lug 1 1 is exposed and projects obliquely from the clamping section 6. An adapted contour of the actuating portion 9 of the associated actuating lever 8 acts upon pivoting of the actuating lever 8 from the closed position to the open position, this actuating tab 1 1 during the movement process at least partially. In this way, the clamping portion 6 of the clamp spring 4 is moved away from the adjacent busbar piece portion 5a forming the nip to open the clamp spring 4.
Die Klemmfeder 4 kann bei dieser Ausführungsform beidseits des Klemmabschnitts 6 Betätigungslaschen 1 1 haben. The clamping spring 4 can in this embodiment on both sides of the clamping portion 6 actuating tabs 1 1 have.
Deutlich wird, dass der die Klemmstelle bildende Stromschienenstückabschnitt 5a an seinem freien Ende einen Klemmvorsprung 1 8 hat, durch den eine hinsichtlich seiner Fläche reduzierte, definierte Anlagefläche für einen elektrischen Leiter geschaffen wird. Die Klemmkraft der Klemmfeder 4 wird dann über den elektrischen Leiter auf diese durch den Klemmvorsprung 1 8 definierte Klemmfläche konzentriert, so dass der Flächendruck im Vergleich zu einer pla- naren Auflagefläche erhöht ist. Deutlich wird weiterhin, dass das freie Ende des die Klemmstelle bildenden Stromschienenstückabschnitts 5a schräg nach oben abgewinkelt ist, um eine Führung für einen elektrischen Leiter zur It is clear that the conductor rail piece section 5a forming the clamping point has a clamping projection 18 at its free end, by means of which a defined contact surface for an electrical conductor which is reduced in terms of its area is created. The clamping force of the clamping spring 4 is then concentrated via the electrical conductor to this clamping surface defined by the clamping projection 18, so that the surface pressure is increased in comparison with a planar bearing surface. It is also clear that the free end of the terminal point forming busbar section 5a is angled upwards obliquely to a guide for an electrical conductor to
Klemmkante 1 8 bereitzustellen. Der die Klemmstelle bildende Stromschienenstückabschnitt 5a kann optional (nicht dargestellt) seitlich benachbart zur Klemmkante 1 8 einen Ausschnitt in Form einer Einsenkung haben, in die der Betätigungsabschnitt 9 des Betätigungshebels 8 eintaucht. Über die Breite der Klemmfeder 4 ist dann unterhalb dieses Ausschnitts 1 9 die Betätigungslasche 1 1 vom Klemmabschnitt 6 der Klemmfeder 4 freigestellt und erstreckt sich in Richtung der Leitereinführungsrichtung L. Deutlich wird, dass die Seitenwände des Betätigungsabschnitts 9 des Betätigungshebels 8 für einen zur Klemmstelle eingeführten elektrischen Leiter eine seitliche Begrenzungswand bildet, die zur Führung des elektrischen Leiters zur Klemmstelle genutzt wird. Clamping edge 1 8 provide. The conductor rail piece section 5a forming the clamping point can optionally (not shown) have a cutout in the form of a depression laterally adjacent to the clamping edge 18 into which the operating section 9 of the actuating lever 8 dips. Over the width of the clamping spring 4 is then below this section 1 9, the actuating tab 1 1 released from the clamping portion 6 of the clamping spring 4 and extends in the direction of the conductor insertion direction L. It is clear that the side walls of the actuating portion 9 of the actuating lever 8 forms a lateral boundary wall for an electrical conductor inserted into the terminal point, which is used to guide the electrical conductor to the terminal point.
Die Stromschienenstücke 5 der in Blickrichtung schräg nach rechts hinten nebeneinander angeordneten Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 können elektrisch leitend miteinander verbunden sein. Denkbar ist aber auch eine Ausführungs- form der Anschlussklemme 1 , bei der jeweils zwei nebeneinander liegende Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 elektrisch leitend miteinander verbunden sind und zwei oder drei Paare solcher elektrisch leitend miteinander verbundenen Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 vorgesehen sind. Damit können jeweils zwei Leiter für einen einphasigen Spannungsversorgungsanschluss mit den Anschlüssen L (Phase), N (Neutralleiter) und PE (Erde) jeweils miteinander verbunden werden, so dass eine Netzanschlussklemme gebildet wird. The busbar pieces 5 of the obliquely to the right rear juxtaposed spring terminal connections 3 can be electrically connected to each other. It is also conceivable, however, an embodiment of the terminal 1, in which two juxtaposed spring terminal connections 3 are electrically connected to each other and two or three pairs of such electrically conductive interconnected Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 are provided. In each case two conductors for a single-phase power supply connection with the connections L (phase), N (neutral conductor) and PE (earth) can be connected to one another, so that a mains connection terminal is formed.
Deutlich wird, dass die Betätigungshebel 8 jeweils neben den Klemmstellen, d. h. neben dem Stromschienenstückabschnitt 5a und dem Klemmabschnitt 6 unmittelbar hinter dem Ende der im Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 ausgeformten Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 angeordnet sind. Die Betätigungsabschnitte 9 der Betätigungshebel 8 bilden eine Fortführung der Wand der jeweiligen Leitereinführungsöffnung 7, um einen elektrischen Leiter zur Klemmstelle zu führen. Jeder Betätigungsabschnitt 9 wirkt mit einer zugeordneten Betätigungslasche 1 1 der Klemmfeder 4 zusammen. Die Drehachse der Betätigungshebel 8 liegt unterhalb des Stromschienenstückabschnitts 5 im Bereich der Klemmstelle. Die Drehachse erstreckt sich quer zur Leitereinsteckrichtung, die durch die Erstre- ckungsrichtung der Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 vorgegeben ist. Deutlich wird auch, dass sich die Betätigungsarme 1 0 entgegengesetzt zur Leitereinsteckrichtung L erstrecken und an der Oberseite des Isolierstoffgehäuses 2 angeordnet sind. Die freien Enden der Betätigungsarme 1 0 liegen im Bereich der Vorderseite. Die freien Enden der Betätigungsarme 1 0 sind von den Begrenzungswänden der Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 bzw. dem Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 derart beabstandet, dass sie von Hand gegriffen und verschwenkt werden können. It is clear that the actuating lever 8 are each arranged next to the terminal points, ie adjacent to the busbar piece portion 5a and the clamping portion 6 immediately behind the end of the formed in the insulating housing 2 conductor insertion opening 7. The operating portions 9 of the operating lever 8 form a continuation of the wall of the respective conductor insertion opening 7, to guide an electrical conductor to the nip. Each operating portion 9 cooperates with an associated actuating tab 1 1 of the clamping spring 4. The axis of rotation of the actuating lever 8 is below the busbar piece portion 5 in the region of the clamping point. The axis of rotation extends transversely to the conductor insertion direction, which is predetermined by the direction of extension of the conductor insertion opening 7. It is also clear that the actuating arms 1 0 extend opposite to the conductor insertion direction L and at the top of the insulating material 2 are arranged. The free ends of the actuating arms 1 0 are in the range of the front. The free ends of the actuating arms 1 0 are spaced from the boundary walls of the conductor insertion opening 7 and the Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 such that they can be grasped and pivoted by hand.
Erkennbar ist weiterhin, dass die Betätigungshebel 8 in Vertiefungen des Isolierstoffgehäuses 2 für zur Aufnahme eines Teils des Betätigungsarmes 1 0 aufgenommen ist. Dabei erstreckt sich der Betätigungsarm 1 0 in der Schließ- Stellung entgegengesetzt zur Leitereinführungsrichtung L zur jeweiligen Vorderseite der zugehörigen Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 des Isolierstoffgehäuses 2. It can also be seen that the actuating lever 8 is received in recesses of the insulating material 2 for receiving a part of the actuating arm 1 0. In this case, the actuating arm 10 extends in the closed position opposite to the conductor insertion direction L to the respective front side of the associated conductor insertion opening 7 of the insulating material. 2
Optional ist noch eine Ausführungsform denkbar, bei der der Betätigungsarm 1 0 um 1 80 ° gedreht ist und in der Schließstellung in Leitereinführungsrichtung L weist. Optionally, an embodiment is conceivable in which the actuating arm 1 0 is rotated by 1 80 ° and in the closed position in the conductor insertion direction L has.
Aus Figur 1 wird insbesondere anhand der mittig dargestellten Leitereinführungsöffnungen 7 mit dem sich daran anschließenden Betätigungshebel 8 deut- lieh, dass ein Betätigungshebel 8 bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils zumFrom Figure 1, in particular on the basis of the conductor insertion openings 7 shown in the center with the adjoining actuating lever 8 lent that an operating lever 8 in the embodiment in each case for
Öffnen von zwei nebeneinander liegenden Federkraftklemmanschlüssen 3 vorgesehen ist. Alternativ kann auch pro Klemmstelle jeweils ein Betätigungshebel 8 vorgesehen sein. Figur 2 lässt eine perspektivische Ansicht eines solchen Betätigungshebels 8 von der Vorderseite erkennen. Deutlich wird aber dabei, dass im mittleren, zentralen Bereich eine Öffnung 24 vorhanden ist, in die eine Führungswand des Isolierstoffgehäuses eintaucht, um den Betätigungshebel 8 kippsicher im Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 zu führen. Die Öffnung 24 ist im oberen Bereich von ei- nem umlaufenden Kragen 25 umgeben. Dieser dient zur Verstärkung und Versteifung des Betätigungshebels 8. Deutlich ist weiterhin, dass der Betätigungshebel 8 an seinen beiden seitlichen äu ßeren Enden einen als Lager dienenden Drehzapfen 22 hat. Die Drehzapfen 22 sind in korrespondierende Öffnungen im Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 aufgenom- men. Opening two juxtaposed Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 is provided. Alternatively, one operating lever 8 can also be provided per clamping point. FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of such an actuating lever 8 from the front. It is clear, however, that in the middle, central region, an opening 24 is present, into which a guide wall of the insulating housing dips in order to guide the operating lever 8 tilt-proof in the insulating housing 2. The opening 24 is surrounded in the upper region by a circumferential collar 25. This serves to reinforce and stiffen the operating lever eighth It is also clear that the operating lever 8 has a serving as a bearing pivot pin 22 at its two lateral externa ßeren ends. The pivot pins 22 are received in corresponding openings in the insulating housing 2.
Erkennbar ist weiterhin, dass für jeden Federkraftklemmanschluss 3 jeweils zwei einander gegenüberliegende Betätigungsabschnitte 9 vorgesehen sind, so dass ein elektrischer Leiter beidseits an diesen Betätigungsabschnitten 9 zur Klemmstelle geführt wird, nachdem der elektrische Leiter von der seitlich umlaufend begrenzten Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 zur Klemmstelle hin aus der Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 austritt. It can also be seen that two mutually opposite actuating sections 9 are provided for each spring terminal connection 3, so that an electrical conductor is guided on both sides of these actuating sections 9 to the terminal point, after the electrical conductor from the laterally circumscribed conductor insertion opening 7 to the clamping point from the conductor insertion opening 7 exit.
Die einander gegenüberliegenden Betätigungsabschnitte 9 dienen somit als Fortsetzung der Leitereinführungsöffnung 7. The opposing actuating portions 9 thus serve as a continuation of the conductor insertion opening. 7
An den einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenkanten der Betätigungsarme 1 0 können die Betätigungshebel 8 Rastnuten 26 oder vorspringende Rastzapfen haben, um den Betätigungshebel im geschlossenen Zustand mit dem Isolier- Stoffgehäuse 2 zu verrasten und ein unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen der Betätigungshebel 8 mit reduzierter Kraft zu verhindern. At the opposite side edges of the actuating arms 1 0, the operating lever 8 locking grooves 26 or projecting locking pins have to lock the operating lever in the closed state with the Isolierstoffgehäuse 2 and to prevent inadvertent opening of the operating lever 8 with reduced force.
Figur 3 lässt den Betätigungshebel aus Figur 2 in der Rückseitenansicht erkennen. Deutlich wird die als Schlitz ausgeführte Öffnung 24 im Zentrum des Betä- tigungshebels 8. FIG. 3 shows the actuating lever from FIG. 2 in the rear view. The opening 24 designed as a slot becomes clear in the center of the actuation lever 8.
Erkennbar ist auch der an der Oberseite des Betätigungsarms 1 0 umlaufende Kragen 25, der in die Wände übergeht, die die Betätigungsabschnitte 9 mit der dazwischen liegenden Öffnung 24 (Schlitz) bilden. Recognizable is also the at the top of the actuating arm 1 0 circumferential collar 25, which merges into the walls, which form the actuating portions 9 with the intermediate opening 24 (slot).
Figur 4 lässt eine perspektivische Ansicht des Betätigungshebels aus Figur 2 und 3 von der Unterseite erkennen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Öffnung 24 im unteren Bereich wieder geschlossen ist. Erkennbar ist auch, dass die Wände, die die Betätigungsabschnitte 9 bilden, über Stege 27 an der Unterseite des Betätigungsarms 1 0 in diesen übergehen, um so den Betätigungsarm 1 0 zu versteifen und ein Ausfedern relativ zu den Betätigungsabschnitten 9 zu verhindern. Die Betätigungsabschnitte 9 haben eine auf die Drehachse D abgestimmte Kontur derart, dass der geöffnete Betätigungshebel 8 in einer Über- totpunktlage selbsthaltend bleibt. Erkennbar ist weiterhin, dass zusätzlich zu den Drehzapfen 22 im mittleren Bereich eine Führungsfläche 22a zur Lagerung vorhanden ist. FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the actuating lever from FIG. 2 and 3 from the bottom. It is clear that the opening 24 is closed again in the lower area. It can also be seen that the walls which form the actuating sections 9 pass over webs 27 on the underside of the actuating arm 10 into these, so as to stiffen the actuating arm 10 and to prevent rebounding relative to the actuating sections 9. The actuating sections 9 have a contour tuned to the axis of rotation D in such a way that the opened actuating lever 8 remains self-holding in a dead center position. It can also be seen that, in addition to the pivot pins 22, a guide surface 22a is provided for storage in the middle region.
Figur 5 lässt eine weitere Ausführungsform einer Anschlussklemme 1 mit mehreren in Blickrichtung hintereinander angeordneten Federkraftklemmanschlüs- sen 3 und zugeordneten Betätigungshebeln 8 erkennen. In der Darstellung ist der Betätigungshebel 8 in der Schließstellung gezeigt, bei der die Klemmfeder 4 des Federkraftklemmanschlusses 3 geschlossen ist. FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a connection terminal 1 with a plurality of spring-force terminal connections 3 arranged one behind the other and associated actuating levers 8. In the illustration, the operating lever 8 is shown in the closed position, in which the clamping spring 4 of the spring terminal connection 3 is closed.
Figur 6 zeigt denselben Betätigungshebel 8 in der Offenstellung, bei der der Federkraftklemmanschluss 3 geöffnet ist. FIG. 6 shows the same actuating lever 8 in the open position in which the spring force clamping connection 3 is open.
Deutlich wird, dass der Betätigungshebel 8 mit seinen Betätigungsabschnitten 9 unmittelbar hinter der Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 wiederum beidseits seitlich neben dem Stromschienenstück 5 bzw. dem die Klemmstelle bildenden Strom- schienenstückabschnitt 5a angeordnet ist. Wiederum liegt die Drehachse D in der Leitereinführungsöffnung 7 bzw. direkt dahinter und in Leitereinsteckrichtung L gesehen kurz vor der Klemmstelle sowie unterhalb des die Klemmstelle bildenden Stromschienenstückabschnitt 5a. Die Betätigungsarme 1 0 der Betätigungshebel 8 sind in Leitereinsteckrichtung L von den Leitereinführungsöff- nungen 7 weg in Richtung der Rückseite der Anschlussklemme 1 gerichtet. Damit wird ein sehr kompakter Aufbau der Anschlussklemme 1 bei einfacher und zuverlässiger Betätigung des Federkraftklemmanschlusses 3 ermöglicht. It is clear that the actuating lever 8 with its actuating portions 9 immediately behind the conductor insertion opening 7 again on both sides of the side of the busbar piece 5 and the terminal point forming busbar section 5a is arranged. Again, the axis of rotation D is in the conductor insertion opening 7 or directly behind and in Leiterereinsteckrichtung L seen just before the terminal point and below the terminal point forming busbar section 5a. The actuating arms 1 0 of the actuating lever 8 are directed in Leitereinsteckrichtung L of the Leiterereinführungsöff- openings 7 towards the back of the terminal 1. This makes a very compact construction of the terminal 1 easier and reliable operation of the spring force terminal 3 allows.
Erkennbar ist weiterhin, dass an der Vorderseite des Isolierstoffgehäuses 2 im unteren Bereich eine Prüföffnung 28 vorgesehen ist, die zur Klemmfeder 4 ge- öffnet ist. Auf diese Weise kann das an dem Federkraftklemmanschluss anliegenden Spannungspotential mit Hilfe eines in die Prüföffnung 28 eingeführten Prüfstiftes gemessen werden. It can also be seen that a test opening 28 is provided at the front side of the insulating material housing 2 in the lower region, which is open to the clamping spring 4. In this way, the voltage potential applied to the spring terminal connection can be measured by means of a test pin inserted into the test opening 28.
Figur 7 lässt eine Seitenansicht der Betätigungshebel 8 der Anschlussklemme 1 aus Figur 5 und 6 erkennen. Deutlich wird, dass der Betätigungsarm 1 0 von den Betätigungsabschnitten 9 zunächst schräg nach links und dann in Leitereinsteckrichtung L wegragt. Erkennbar ist auch das Querstück 1 0c am unteren freien Ende des Betätigungsarms 1 0. Durch eine geeignete Kontur des Betätigungsabschnitts in Abstimmung mit der Lage der Drehachse D kann ein Selbsthalten des geöffneten Betätigungshebels 8 in einer Übertotpunktlage erreicht werden. FIG. 7 shows a side view of the actuating lever 8 of the connection terminal 1 from FIGS. 5 and 6. It is clear that the actuating arm 1 0 protrudes from the operating sections 9 initially obliquely to the left and then in Leitereinsteckrichtung L. Recognizable is also the cross piece 1 0c at the lower free end of the actuating arm 1 0. By a suitable contour of the actuating portion in coordination with the position of the axis of rotation D self-holding of the open actuating lever 8 can be achieved in an over-center position.
Die Betätigungsabschnitte 9 haben hierzu z. B. eine Nase 30, die auf die Lage der Drehachse so abgestimmt ist, dass der geöffnete Betätigungshebel 8 in einer Übertotpunktlage selbsthaltend verharrt. The operating sections 9 have z. B. a nose 30, which is tuned to the position of the axis of rotation so that the open operating lever 8 remains self-holding in an over-center position.
Figur 8 lässt eine Aufsicht auf den Betätigungsarm aus Figur 1 1 von unten erkennen. Dabei wird der Aufbau des Betätigungsarms 1 0 mit zwei Armabschnit- ten 1 0a, 1 0b und dem die Armabschnitte 1 0a, 1 0b am freien Ende verbindenen Querstück 1 0c deutlich. FIG. 8 shows a plan view of the actuating arm from FIG. 11 from below. In this case, the structure of the actuating arm 10 with two arm sections 10a, 10b and the arm sections 10a, 10b connecting at the free end crosspiece 10c becomes clear.
Erkennbar ist auch, dass seitlich an den Au ßenseiten der Betätigungsabschnitte 9 Drehzapfen 22 herausragen, die in entsprechende Vertiefungen des Iso- lierstoffgehäuses 2 der Anschlussklemme 1 gelagert sind. Erkennbar ist weiterhin, dass die einander gegenüberliegenden Innenseiten der Betätigungsabschnitte 9 zum freien Ende hin schräg gestellt sind und Einführungsschrägen 29 zum Führen eines elektrischen Leiters ohne störende Kanten haben. It can also be seen that laterally on the outer sides of the actuating sections 9, pivot pins 22 project, which are mounted in corresponding recesses of the insulating housing 2 of the connecting terminal 1. It can also be seen that the opposing inner sides of the actuating portions 9 are inclined towards the free end and have insertion bevels 29 for guiding an electrical conductor without disturbing edges.
Alternativ zu der dargestellten Dosenklemme sind weitere Varianten denkbar. Dies gilt insbesondere für Varianten von Anschlussklemmen, bei denen über die Länge der Anschlussklemme gesehen zwei hintereinander liegende Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 vorgesehen sind. Zum Einsparen von Bauraum kann es von Vorteil sein, wenn die Betätigungshebel 8 alternierend über die Breite gesehen an der Oberseite und Unterseite herausragen. As an alternative to the illustrated terminal box, further variants are conceivable. This is especially true for variants of terminals, where seen over the length of the terminal seen two consecutive Federkraftklemmanschlüsse 3 are provided. To save space, it may be advantageous if the operating lever 8 seen alternately over the width protrude at the top and bottom.
Denkbar ist dabei auch eine Variante, bei der die Betätigungsarme 1 0 alternierend einerseits in Leitereinführungsrichtung und bei dem danebenliegenden Federkraftklemmanschluss 3 entgegengesetzt zur Leitereinführungsrichtung L aus der Rückseite bzw. Vorderseite herausragen. Conceivable here is also a variant in which the actuating arms 1 0 protrude alternately on the one hand in the conductor insertion direction and in the adjacent Federkraftklemmanschluss 3 opposite to the conductor insertion direction L from the back or front.
Dabei ist noch eine Variante denkbar, dass nicht nur die Richtung der Betätigungsarme 1 0 alternierend wechseln, sondern auch die Ausrichtung der Betä- tigungshebel alternierend so sind, dass diese aus der Oberseite und benachbart aus der Unterseite des Isolierstoffgehäuses 2 herausragen bzw. in Vertiefungen an der Oberseite und alternierend der Unterseite aufgenommen sind. In this case, another variant is conceivable that not only change the direction of the actuating arms 1 0 alternately, but also the orientation of the actuating lever alternately so that they protrude from the top and adjacent from the bottom of the insulating housing 2 or in depressions the top and alternately the bottom are added.
