Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical terminal, in particular a terminal, with a terminal housing, with at least two electrically conductive contact elements, with at least two conductor connection elements for connecting electrical conductors and at least one movable in the terminal housing arranged separating element.
  • the two contact elements are connected to each other, while the contact elements are separated from each other in a second position of the separating element.
  • terminals have been known for decades and are used millions of times in the wiring of electrical equipment.
  • the terminals are usually snapped onto a mounting rail, which in turn are often arranged in a plurality in a cabinet. Due to their arrangements next to each other on a mounting rail or their linearity the terminals are usually referred to as terminal blocks.
  • terminal blocks As conductor connection elements in terminal blocks often screw terminals, insulation displacement terminals or spring terminals, in particular tension spring terminals or increasingly also leg spring clamp used.
  • the basic type of terminal block is the connection terminal, which has at least two conductor connection elements which are electrically conductively connected to each other via an electrically conductive busbar.
  • this basic type which is often referred to as a through terminal
  • disconnect terminals which intentionally interrupt a signal circuit by means of mechanical isolators in order, for example, to allow a measurement of the cables in the field.
  • Separating terminals are known from the prior art, in which the signal circuit can be interrupted by means of a so-called separating knife.
  • the separating knife can be pivoted in the terminal housing so that in the first position of the separating knife, the two fixedly arranged in the terminal housing contact elements are connected to each other via the separating knife, while the contact elements are no longer electrically connected to each other in a second position of the separating element.
  • the DE 10 2008 014 176 A1 discloses a terminal block, in whose housing a pivotally mounted separating knife is arranged.
  • the separating blade is arranged in an insulating housing in which on a side wall, a pivot pin is formed, which is mounted in an opening in a side wall of the terminal housing.
  • the separating knife contacted in a first position, the mutually facing ends of the two sections of the busbar, while in a second, pivoted position of the separating blade, the two sections of the busbar are no longer interconnected. Since the ends of the sections of the stom rail facing away from the separating blade are connected to the conductor connection elements, the conductor connection elements are no longer electrically connected to one another in the second position of the separating knife.
  • terminal blocks are known from practice, which have a separating slide, which is arranged displaceably in the terminal housing in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the terminal. These terminal blocks also have a two-piece existing busbar whose opposite ends are each connected to a conductor connection element. In a first position of the separating slide, the second ends of the sections which are arranged opposite one another in the longitudinal direction are electrically conductively connected to one another via the slide, while the slide is connected to only one section in a second position, so that the two sections of the busbar are not electrically conductive with one another are connected.
  • disconnect terminals Space requirements are playing an increasingly important role in modern electronic systems. The reduction of the size of individual components, which should have a high functionality at the same time, is therefore increasingly an important requirement.
  • the possibility of reducing the dimensions of disconnect terminals is limited by the fact that they must have a high dielectric strength.
  • a sufficiently large clearance and creepage distance must be ensured so that the signal separation can be realized safely.
  • a relatively large space is required due to the pivoting or displacement of the separating blade to ensure that the separating blade in the second position a sufficient distance from the contact elements, d. H. having the ends of the busbar sections.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an electrical terminal described above, in which the space required for the separation point between the contact elements and the separating element is reduced, the operation of the separating element should still be safe and user-friendly.
  • the contact elements are arranged one behind the other in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the separating element and that the separating element is arranged movable in the direction of its longitudinal axis in the terminal housing.
  • the direction of movement of the separating element is different from the direction of the longitudinal extent of the terminal.
  • the straight, translational movement of the separating element which, however, does not coincide with the direction of the longitudinal extent of the clamp, results in that the clamp can be made smaller, since the space required for the movement of the separating element from the first position to the second position is, is less than, for example, in a pivoting of the separating element of the case.
  • the direction of movement of the separating element is almost perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the clamp.
  • the contact elements are almost perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the terminal and not - as usual in the art - arranged in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the terminal one behind the other.
  • the electrical terminal is oriented such that the longitudinal extent of the terminal runs horizontally, this means that the separating element is preferably arranged in a somewhat vertically movable manner in the terminal housing, wherein the contact elements are also arranged somewhat vertically above one another, while the conductor terminal elements in the direction of the longitudinal extent the terminal are arranged one behind the other.
  • the direction of movement of the separating element should preferably have an angle of at least 45 °, in particular of at least 75 ° or more to the longitudinal extent of the terminal.
  • an opening for receiving the separating element is formed, wherein the separating element is arranged in the first position within the opening. In the second position, the separating element partially emerges from the opening at the top of the terminal housing, so that the separating element has the function of an optical indicator. In this way, an on-site technician can easily detect whether the signal circuit is open or closed.
  • the separator preferably has a color that is different from the color of the terminal housing, so that the visualization of the optical indicator is simplified. In the first position of the separating element, this is preferably arranged so far in the terminal housing or in the opening that the separating element terminates with its upper end with the upper side of the terminal housing.
  • a stop and in the terminal housing a corresponding counter-stop, such as a step or edge are provided on the separating element.
  • An unwanted, complete moving out of the separating element from the terminal housing is prevented.
  • the stop may be formed, for example, as a latching nose with a corresponding projection in the terminal housing. It is also conceivable a local enlargement of the outer diameter of the separating element, so that the outer diameter of the separating element is greater at one point, as the opening in the terminal housing, whereby a moving out of the separating element is prevented from the terminal housing.
  • a haptic or acoustic marking on the separating element or in the housing may be formed, so that the fitter gets along exactly when moving the separating element from the second to the first position when the separating element is in the first position.
  • the marking can be realized for example by a catch.
  • the separating element is concretely formed.
  • the separating element is designed as a screw.
  • the screw member has a first portion and a helical second portion with an external thread. In the opening in the terminal housing while a male thread corresponding internal thread is formed. Due to the configuration of the separating element as a screw element, the translational movement of the separating element is induced by a rotary actuation of the screw. In this way, the screw can be moved with a suitable tool directly to the top of the terminal housing from the first position to the second position and vice versa.
  • the separator can be screwed with the aid of a screwdriver from the terminal housing and spent in the second position.
  • the separating element in the first position protrudes from the terminal housing, whereby the risk that objects, such as cables, get caught on the separating element, is avoided.
  • the first portion of the separating element consists of an electrically conductive material and the contact elements in the first position connects to each other in an electrically conductive manner.
  • the second, designed as a screw, section may consist of an insulating material, such as a plastic. This also simplifies the manufacture of the separating element, since this can be produced by injection molding or a similar process.
  • the first section of the screw element can still contact a contact element, as long as the other contact element is no longer contacted by the conductive first section of the screw element, so that the two contact elements are no longer electrically conductively connected to one another via the separating element.
  • the external thread of the second helical section and the corresponding internal thread of the opening are each formed as a coarse thread.
  • the two threads are formed so coarse that half a turn is sufficient. In this way, by a minimum screw or rotary movement of the screw the required feed of the separating element can be realized. Unlike conventional screws, the screw does not serve to attach another component, but to the movement of the separator, so that a finer thread is not necessary.
  • the electrically conductive connection between the separating element and the contact elements can preferably be realized simply by configuring the first section of the screw element in a pin-shaped manner and the contact elements being in the form of contact tulips.
  • This simple construction makes it possible that the pin-shaped, electrically conductive portion of the separating element can be introduced by the advance of the rotational movement of the screw in the contact tulips.
  • the arrangement of the separating element to the contact elements can be designed so that a first, upper Contact tulip in the second position is already contacted by the first portion of the screw.
  • the first contact tulip then additionally serves as a guide for the screw element, so that the connection between the contact tulips and the pin-shaped, electrically conductive first section of the screw element can be realized more simply when it is being moved to the second position.
  • Another advantage of a pin-shaped first portion is that the first portion of the screw member may be fixedly connected to the second portion of the screw member due to the symmetrical cylindrical shape of a pin. The pin-shaped portion then rotates with the rotational movement of the screw when moving to the second position.
  • the first portion of the screw for example, has the shape of a sword or a similar angular shape.
  • the first portion of the screw can be rotatably attached to the helical second portion of the screw. If the sword-shaped, first section of the screw element is already inserted into the first contact tulip and guided by it, the first section remains in this orientation when it is moved to the second position. The rotational movement of the screw then causes only a feed of the separator until the separator is spent in the second position, in which the first portion of the screw also contacted the second contact tulip.
  • the first section of the screw element consists of an electrically insulating material.
  • the first section is formed scoop-shaped or angular.
  • a spring element is provided, via which the contact elements are electrically conductively connected to one another in the first position of the screw element.
  • the first, insulating portion of the screw is arranged between at least one of the contact elements and the spring element.
  • the electrical connection between the contact elements is thus interrupted by the fact that the insulating portion of the screw in the second position between at least one contact element and the spring element is spent, for which the spring element is deflected.
  • a contact element can also be permanently connected to the spring element.
  • the contact elements themselves are arranged for example as contact surfaces on a printed circuit board and electrically conductively connected to one another via the spring element, as long as the separating element is in the first position.
  • the insulating, paddle-shaped first section of the separating element then slides between the printed circuit board and at least part of the spring element.
  • the separating element is designed as a plug-in element.
  • the separator is not spent in this case by the rotational movement of a screw from the first to the second position, but by the rectilinear movement of the male member.
  • the separating element as a plug-in element, there are various ways in which the separating element can be embodied concretely.
  • the plug element consists of an insulating material.
  • the contact elements are electrically connected to one another in the first position of the plug element by a spring element. This connection is separated in the second position of the plug element, for which purpose at least a part of the plug element is arranged in the second position between at least one contact element and the spring element.
  • the contact elements may be arranged, for example, as contact surfaces on a printed circuit board and connected to one another via the spring element, as long as the separating element is in the first position. In the second position, the separating element is arranged between the printed circuit board and the spring element, so that the contact elements are no longer connected to one another via the spring element.
  • the separating element formed as a plug-in element has an insulating, first portion and an electrically conductive second portion.
  • the electrically conductive portion connects the two contact elements with each other, while the connection in the second Position of the plug element is disconnected.
  • the electrically conductive portion may be configured differently. It is important that it has at least two points of contact for the two contact elements. A displacement of the plug element in the second position then leads to at least one contact element is no longer contacted by the conductive portion or a contact point, so that the two contact elements are no longer connected to each other via the conductive portion.
  • a releasable latching connection is formed in a formed as a plug-in element separating element between the plug-in element and the terminal housing in the first position.
  • the latching connection can be configured such that the separating element for movement from the first position to the second position must first be moved counter to the direction of movement from the first to the second position, so that the latching connection is released. Subsequently, the separating element can be moved to the second position.
  • a spring element can be provided by which the separating element is acted upon by a force such that the separating element is automatically moved to the second position after releasing the latching connection. First, the separating element is moved against the spring force to release the locking connection, then the separating element is then pressed by the spring force from the first position to the second position.
  • the operation is comparable to the operation of a ballpoint pen.
  • Fig. 1 shows a terminal 1 with a terminal housing 2.

If the separating element 6 is in the second position, then the two contact elements 3, 4 are not connected to one another. A connected via two conductors to the corresponding conductor connection elements 5 power or signal circuit is then interrupted. Since the upper end of the separating element 6 protrudes from the terminal housing 2, an installer can easily see whether a connected current or signal circuit is interrupted or not.
  • the direction of movement B of the separating element 6 is perpendicular to the longitudinal extension E of the terminal 1. Accordingly, the contact elements 3, 4 perpendicular to the longitudinal extent E of the terminal 1 on each other and not - as usual in the art - in the direction of the longitudinal extent E of Terminal block 1 arranged one behind the other.

  • the plug-in element 18 correspondingly deflects the spring element 19 in the second position, so that it can be moved between the first contact element 3 and the upper part 21 of the spring element 19.
  • the plug-in element 18 also projects out of the opening 7 on the upper side 8 of the terminal housing 2, so that a fitter can easily recognize whether a connected current or signal circuit is interrupted or not.
  • Fig. 6 shows a separation point with a separating element 6 and two contact elements 3, 4, in which the separating element 6 is also designed as a plug-in element 18.
  • Fig. 6a shows the separation point in the closed state in which the plug-in element 18 is in the first position and the two contact elements 3, 4 are electrically conductively connected to each other via the plug element 18, while in Fig. 6b and 6c the plug-in element 18 is shown in the second position, in which the separation point is in the open state.
  • the plug-in element 18 has a first insulating section 24 and a second electrically conductive section 25.
  • the electrically conductive portion 25 is fixedly connected to the insulating portion 24 so that upon displacement of the male member 18, both portions are also displaced.
  • the conductive portion 25 consists of an elongated flat spring material which is bent at the ends, so that two resilient portions 26, 27 exist.
  • the two resilient sections 26, 27 are adapted in their distance from one another such that they correspond to the position of the two contact elements 3, 4. In the first position, the two resilient sections 26, 27 are connected to the contact elements 3, 4, so that the two contact elements 3, 4 are electrically connected to one another via the section 25 of the plug element 18.
  • the contact elements 3, 4 are each formed as contact surfaces, which are angeodnet on a printed circuit board 28.
  • the printed circuit board 28 is also the electrical connection between the Conductor terminal elements 5 and the respective associated contact elements 3, 4, regardless of whether the contact elements 3, 4 are formed as contact tulips 16 or as contact surfaces.
  • the printed circuit board 28 can also serve to receive and connect further components, for example fuses 29.
