Definitions
- the present invention relates to a spring force connection for electrical conductors.
- spring connections have according to the prior art, a receiving cage, a spring-mounted on the receiving cage legs and a leg opposite the contact plate.
- the leg is spring-loaded with respect to the contact plate and the conductor end to be connected is inserted between the leg and the contact plate.
- the installation space for such a spring force connection must be dimensioned so that the leg on the one hand can travel a sufficient spring to spring in and rebound.
- the spring leg must also have a certain inherent length, because otherwise in the region of the transition of the spring leg to the receiving cage so high forces occur that the leg breaks in the region of the transition to the receiving cage.
- a spring-applied connection in which two separate spring-force connections are arranged in a square housing next to one another.
- two bent into the housing at right angles protruding bends.
- a further side wall of the housing adjacent to the respective bend and to the aforementioned side wall extending at right angles region of the side wall with the offsets and the recesses themselves form a U-shaped contact receiving space.
- this U-shaped contact receiving space protrudes an angle-shaped leg spring as a clamping element from the open side of the U-shaped cross section into it.
- this double connection requires a rectangular configuration of the housing with four side walls and is therefore not arbitrarily reduced in size.
- the present invention seeks to design a spring force connection so that it requires only the smallest possible installation space.
- the miniaturization of the spring force connection is realized according to the invention, on the one hand, that the entire receiving cage for the spring force connection made of resilient material, preferably made of a spring steel. In this way, not only the spring leg, but the entire spring cage during insertion of the conductor springs to the outside. Since a much larger spring element is provided by the receiving cage as only by a spring leg, much larger forces can be transmitted, so that the leg can be reduced compared to the prior art.
- the spring force connection with the receiving cage made of resilient material is further combined with a arranged as a partition between the receiving cages contact plate.
- leg in turn made of resilient material. Since both the spring leg and the receiving cage then give way during insertion of the conductor, the forces are distributed to a much larger resilient path.
- the receiving cage is designed as a rectangular spring frame.
- the one short side of the rectangle forms the fixed end, on which the receiving cage designed as a spring frame is resiliently mounted.
- the other short side of the rectangle accordingly forms the free end.
- the leg is mounted, which projects into the rectangular contour of the spring frame.
- the effective as a partition wall contact plate is perpendicular between the receiving cages.
- the receiving cages are facing each other with their legs, so that the free ends of the legs each protrude in the direction of a flat side of the contact plate and form a terminal point for the respective electrical conductor with this.
- the receiving cages are mirror-inverted arranged facing each other at in-between the receiving cages contact plate.
- the receiving cages configured as rectangular spring frames according to claims 3 and 4.
- the receiving cages are connected to each other in an advantageous embodiment with their fixed ends. This connection is advantageously realized in that protrudes in the region of the fixed end of the one end of a long side of a tooth-shaped projection and is introduced into the end of the other long side in the region of the Festendes a projection complementary to the recess.
- the mirror-inverted receiving cages can then simply be positively locked together.
- the contact plate in turn can be connected directly to an electrical contact, in particular a contact pin or a female contact of an electrical connector.
- a socket contact 1 shown with a double spring-cage connection.
- the double connection in turn consists of two at an angle 180 ° to each other pivoted, identically designed receiving cages 2.
- the receiving cages 2 are designed as a rectangular spring frame.
- the bushing contact 1 facing short side of this rectangular cross-section forms the fixed end 3 of the receiving cage 2.
- the fixed end 3 facing free end 4 carries the projecting into the interior of the rectangular contour spring leg 5.
- the two the fixed end 3 and the free end 4 connecting long sides 6 of the receiving cage 2 bent by 90 ° from the short sides, ie the fixed end 3 and the free end 4. In this way, the moment of resistance given bending of the receiving cage 2 is significantly increased.
- the contact plate 7 is arranged between the two receiving cages 2.
- the contact plate 7 is inserted into a receiving slot 8 at the rear end of the socket contact 1 and connected in this manner to the socket contact 1 electrically conductive.
- the contact plate 7 is acted upon on each of its flat sides by one of the spring legs 5.
- the spring legs 5 carry at their the free end 4 of the receiving cage 2 facing away from free ends teeth 9 for additional fixation of the ladder, not shown in the drawing figures.
- the ladder are clamped in the final assembled state between the ends of the spring leg 5 with the teeth 9 and the respective spring leg 5 facing flat side of the contact plate 7.
- a tooth-shaped projection 10 also.
- a recess 11 is inserted into the receiving cage 2.
- the contour of the recess 11 and the projection 10 are complementary to each other, so that in the final assembled state, in each case a projection 10 of a receiving cage 2 can engage in the corresponding opposite recess 11 of the adjacent receiving cage 2, which in Fig. 1 and in Fig. 3 is clearly recognizable.
- a circumferential retaining groove 12 is formed on the socket contact 1.
- the holding forks 13 fix the receiving cages 2 respectively at the retaining groove 12 of the socket contact 1.
- the projections 10 already described above engages in the associated recesses 11, these act like a functioning in the manner of a tongue and groove connection lock.
- the receiving cages 2 are mounted so firmly and solidly on the socket contact 1.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Federkraftanschluss für elektrische Leiter. Derartige Federkraftanschlüsse weisen nach dem Stand der Technik einen Aufnahmekäfig, einen am Aufnahmekäfig federnd gelagerten Schenkel und eine dem Schenkel gegenüberliegende Kontaktplatte auf. Zum Anschließen des abisolierten Leiterendes wird der Schenkel gegenüber der Kontaktplatte ausgefedert und das anzuschließende Leiterende zwischen den Schenkel und die Kontaktplatte eingebracht.The present invention relates to a spring force connection for electrical conductors. Such spring connections have according to the prior art, a receiving cage, a spring-mounted on the receiving cage legs and a leg opposite the contact plate. To connect the stripped conductor end, the leg is spring-loaded with respect to the contact plate and the conductor end to be connected is inserted between the leg and the contact plate.
Der Einbauraum für einen derartigen Federkraftanschluss muss so dimensioniert sein, dass der Schenkel einerseits einen ausreichenden Federweg zum ein- und ausfedern zurücklegen kann. Andererseits muss der Federschenkel auch eine gewisse Eigenlänge aufweisen, weil andernfalls im Bereich des Übergangs des Federschenkels zum Aufnahmekäfig so hohe Kräfte auftreten, dass der Schenkel im Bereich des Übergangs zum Aufnahmekäfig bricht.The installation space for such a spring force connection must be dimensioned so that the leg on the one hand can travel a sufficient spring to spring in and rebound. On the other hand, the spring leg must also have a certain inherent length, because otherwise in the region of the transition of the spring leg to the receiving cage so high forces occur that the leg breaks in the region of the transition to the receiving cage.
Aus der
Aus der
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Federkraftanschluss so zu gestalten, dass er nur einen möglichst kleinen Einbauraum benötigt.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to design a spring force connection so that it requires only the smallest possible installation space.
Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmalskombination des Anspruchs 1 in erfinderischer Weise gelöst. Die rückbezogenen Ansprüche beinhalten teilweise vorteilhaft und teilweise für sich selbst erfinderische Weiterbildungen dieser Erfindungen.This object is achieved by the feature combination of
Die Miniaturisierung des Federkraftanschlusses ist gemäß der Erfindung zum einen dadurch realisiert, dass der gesamte Aufnahmekäfig für den Federkraftanschluss aus federndem Material, vorzugsweise aus einem Federstahl gefertigt ist. Auf diese Weise federt nicht nur der Federschenkel, sondern der gesamte Federkäfig beim Einführen des Leiters nach außen. Da durch den Aufnahmekäfig ein sehr viel größeres Federelement zur Verfügung gestellt wird als nur durch einen Federschenkel, können sehr viel größere Kräfte übertragen werden, so dass der Schenkel gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verkleinert werden kann.The miniaturization of the spring force connection is realized according to the invention, on the one hand, that the entire receiving cage for the spring force connection made of resilient material, preferably made of a spring steel. In this way, not only the spring leg, but the entire spring cage during insertion of the conductor springs to the outside. Since a much larger spring element is provided by the receiving cage as only by a spring leg, much larger forces can be transmitted, so that the leg can be reduced compared to the prior art.
Der Federkraftanschluss mit dem Aufnahmekäfig aus federndem Material ist weiterhin mit einer als Trennwand zwischen den Aufnahmekäfigen angeordneten Kontaktplatte kombiniert. Durch diese Kombination kann auf engstem Raum einer der vorerwähnten Doppelanschlüsse realisiert werden. Die simultane gute Kraftabtragung einerseits und die räumliche Trennung der Leiter andererseits ermöglicht hier die erstrebte Miniaturisierung des Federkraftanschlusses.The spring force connection with the receiving cage made of resilient material is further combined with a arranged as a partition between the receiving cages contact plate. By this combination, one of the aforementioned double connections can be realized in a confined space. The simultaneous good power removal on the one hand and the spatial separation of the conductors on the other hand allows the desired miniaturization of the spring-loaded connection.
In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist es natürlich sinnvoll, auch den Schenkel seinerseits aus federndem Material zu fertigen. Da beim Einführen des Leiters dann sowohl der Federschenkel als auch der Aufnahmekäfig nachgeben, werden die auftretenden Kräfte auf eine sehr viel größere federnde Strecke verteilt.In an advantageous embodiment, it makes sense, of course, to make the leg in turn made of resilient material. Since both the spring leg and the receiving cage then give way during insertion of the conductor, the forces are distributed to a much larger resilient path.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist der Aufnahmekäfig als rechteckförmiger Federrahmen ausgestaltet. Die eine Kurzseite des Rechtecks bildet dabei das Festende, an welchem der als Federrahmen ausgestaltete Aufnahmekäfig federnd gelagert ist. Die andere Kurzseite des Rechtecks bildet dementsprechend das Freiende. Am Freiende ist wiederum der Schenkel gelagert, welcher in die Rechteckkontur des Federrahmens hineinragt. Zur Verbesserung der Formstabilität sind die Langseiten des den Aufnahmekäfig bildenden Federrahmens rechtwinklig von den Kurzseiten abgebogen.In a further advantageous embodiment of the receiving cage is designed as a rectangular spring frame. The one short side of the rectangle forms the fixed end, on which the receiving cage designed as a spring frame is resiliently mounted. The other short side of the rectangle accordingly forms the free end. At the free end, in turn, the leg is mounted, which projects into the rectangular contour of the spring frame. To improve the dimensional stability of the long sides of the receiving cage forming spring frame are bent at right angles from the short sides.
Ein weiteres technisches Problem tritt bei sogenannten Doppelanschlüssen für elektrische Leiter auf. Bei derartigen Doppelanschlüssen werden zwei separate elektrische Leiter an ein gemeinsames elektrisches Potential angeschlossen. Sind diese Doppelanschlüsse als Federkraftanschlüsse ausgestaltet, werden in der Regel zwei nebeneinander liegende Schenkelfedern eingesetzt, welche an einer gemeinsamen Kontaktplatte widergelagert sind. Im Montagezustand liegen die beiden elektrischen Leiter von den beiden nebeneinander angeordneten Schenkelfedern geklemmt auf der Kontaktplatte auf. Problematisch hierbei ist die Tatsache, dass die beiden Federschenkel sich gegenseitig behindern können und sich im schlimmsten Fall miteinander verhaken. Außerdem können bei feingliedrigen Leitern Litzen abstehen und in den Bereich der benachbarten Schenkelfeder hineinragen.Another technical problem occurs in so-called double connections for electrical conductors. In such double connections, two separate electrical conductors are connected to a common electrical potential. If these double connections are designed as spring-force connections, two side-by-side torsion springs are usually used, which are mounted on a common contact plate. In the assembled state, the two electrical conductors are clamped by the two side-by-side leg springs on the contact plate. The problem here is the fact that the two spring legs can interfere with each other and get caught together in the worst case. In addition, strands can protrude with fine-line conductors and protrude into the region of the adjacent leg spring.
Zur Beseitigung dieses technischen Problems ist gemäß dem unabhängigen Anspruch 5 vorgesehen, der Kontaktplatte eine Doppelfunktion zuzuweisen. Bei dem Federkraftanschluss nach Anspruch 5 liegen zwei Aufnahmekäfige nebeneinander und die Kontaktplatte ist zwischen diesen Aufnahmekäfigen angeordnet und dient zugleich als Trennwand.To overcome this technical problem is provided according to the
In konsequenter Weiterentwicklung steht die als Trennwand wirksame Kontaktplatte senkrecht zwischen den Aufnahmekäfigen. Die Aufnahmekäfige sind dabei mit ihren Schenkeln einander zugewandt, so dass die Freienden der Schenkel jeweils in Richtung auf eine Flachseite der Kontaktplatte abragen und mit dieser eine Klemmstelle für den jeweiligen elektrischen Leiter bilden. Mit anderen Worten sind die Aufnahmekäfige spiegelverkehrt einander zugewandt angeordnet bei zwischen den Aufnahmekäfigen einliegender Kontaktplatte.In a consistent development, the effective as a partition wall contact plate is perpendicular between the receiving cages. The receiving cages are facing each other with their legs, so that the free ends of the legs each protrude in the direction of a flat side of the contact plate and form a terminal point for the respective electrical conductor with this. In other words, the receiving cages are mirror-inverted arranged facing each other at in-between the receiving cages contact plate.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist es vorteilhaft, wiederum die als rechteckförmige Federrahmen ausgestalteten Aufnahmekäfige gemäß den Ansprüchen 3 und 4 zu verwenden. Die Aufnahmekäfige sind in vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung mit ihren Festenden miteinander verbunden. Diese Verbindung ist vorteilhaft dadurch realisiert, dass im Bereich des Festendes aus dem einen Ende der einen Langseite ein zahnförmiger Vorsprung abragt und in das Ende der anderen Langseite im Bereich des Festendes eine zum Vorsprung komplementäre Aussparung eingebracht ist. Die spiegelverkehrt zueinander stehenden Aufnahmekäfige können dann einfach formschlüssig miteinander verrastet werden.In a further embodiment, it is advantageous, in turn, to use the receiving cages configured as rectangular spring frames according to
In weiterer Ausgestaltung kann die Kontaktplatte ihrerseits direkt mit einem elektrischen Kontakt, insbesondere einem Kontaktstift oder einer Kontaktbuchse eines elektrischen Steckverbinders verbunden sein.In a further embodiment, the contact plate in turn can be connected directly to an electrical contact, in particular a contact pin or a female contact of an electrical connector.

In der Darstellung der
Zwischen den beiden Aufnahmekäfigen 2 ist die Kontaktplatte 7 angeordnet. Die Kontaktplatte 7 ist in einen Aufnahmeschlitz 8 am rückwärtigen Ende des Buchsenkontakts 1 eingeschoben und auf diese Weise mit dem Buchsenkontakt 1 elektrisch leitend verbunden.Between the two receiving
Die Kontaktplatte 7 wird auf ihren Flachseiten jeweils von einem der Federschenkel 5 beaufschlagt. Die Federschenkel 5 tragen an ihren dem Freiende 4 des Aufnahmekäfigs 2 abgewandten freien Enden Verzahnungen 9 zur zusätzlichen Fixierung der in den Zeichnungsfiguren nicht dargestellten Leiter. Die Leiter sind im Montageendzustand zwischen den Enden der Federschenkel 5 mit den Verzahnungen 9 und der dem jeweiligen Federschenkel 5 zugewandten Flachseite der Kontaktplatte 7 eingeklemmt.The
Am Festende 3 steht aus der im Ausführungsbeispiel rechten Langseite 6 des Aufnahmekäfigs 2 ein zahnförmiger Vorsprung 10 hinaus. In das im Bereich des Festendes 3 liegende Ende der im Ausführungsbeispiel linken Langseite 6 ist in den Aufnahmekäfig 2 eine Aussparung 11 eingebracht. Die Kontur der Aussparung 11 und des Vorsprungs 10 sind zueinander komplementär, so dass im Montageendzustand jeweils ein Vorsprung 10 eines Aufnahmekäfigs 2 in die entsprechende gegenüberliegende Aussparung 11 des benachbarten Aufnahmekäfigs 2 eingreifen kann, was in

Zur Fixierung der Aufnahmekäfige 2 ist am Buchsenkontakt 1 eine umlaufende Haltenut 12 ausgebildet. In die Haltenut 12 greifen jeweils im Bereich des Festendes 3 der Aufnahmekäfige 2 ausgebildete Haltegabeln 13 ein. Die Haltegabeln 13 fixieren die Aufnahmekäfige 2 jeweils an der Haltenut 12 des Buchsenkontakts 1. Sobald die bereits oben beschriebenen Vorsprünge 10 in die zugeordneten Aussparungen 11 eingreift, wirken diese wie ein nach Art einer Nut-Feder-Verbindung funktionierendes Schloss. Im Bereich der Festenden 3 sind die Aufnahmekäfige 2 so fest und solide am Buchsenkontakt 1 gelagert.For fixing the receiving
Zur Verbesserung der Befestigungseigenschaften, insbesondere der Federeigenschaften ist nicht nur der Federschenkel 5 aus federndem Material gefertigt sondern auch der Aufnahmekäfig 2. Dies führt zu dem durch die Spannungspfeile 15 angedeuteten theoretischen Spannungsverlauf. Auf diese Weise übt nicht nur der Federschenkel 5 sondern der gesamte Aufnahmekäfig 2 Federkräfte auf die nicht dargestellten Leiter aus, so dass der Federschenkel 5 sehr viel kleinere Abmessungen als bei herkömmlichen Federkraftanschlüssen aufweisen kann.To improve the fastening properties, in particular the spring properties, not only the
