Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kontaktierungsvorrichtung zum Kontaktieren eines elektrischen Leiters an eine elektrische Leiterbahn, wobei die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung an einem Körper eines elektrischen Bauelements, der die elektrische Leiterbahn enthält, fixierbar ist.The invention relates to a contacting device for contacting an electrical conductor with an electrical conductor track, the contacting device being fixable to a body of an electrical component that contains the electrical conductor track.
Zum Fixieren eines elektrischen Leiters an eine elektrische Leiterbahn, die in einem Körper eines elektrischen Bauelements, beispielsweise einem Motorschutzschalter, einem Leistungsschutzschalter, einem Motorschütz, einem Leistungsschütz oder einem thermischen Relais, angeordnet ist, wird eine Kontaktierungsvorrichtung benötigt.A contacting device is required for fixing an electrical conductor to an electrical conductor track which is arranged in a body of an electrical component, for example a motor protection switch, a circuit breaker, a motor contactor, a power contactor or a thermal relay.
Ein Anliegen der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Kontaktierungsvorrichtung zum Kontaktieren eines elektrischen Leiters an eine elektrische Leiterbahn bereitzustellen, durch die es ermöglicht wird, den elektrischen Leiter auf möglichst einfache Weise mit der elektrischen Leiterbahn zu kontaktieren, wobei der Kontakt zwischen dem elektrischen Leiter und der elektrischen Leiterbahn einen geringen Kontaktwiderstand aufweist und die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung möglichst einfach an einem Körper eines elektrischen Bauelements zum Bereitstellen der elektrischen Leiterbahn fixierbar ist.An object of the present invention is to provide a contacting device for contacting an electrical conductor with an electrical conductor track, which makes it possible to contact the electrical conductor with the electrical conductor track in the simplest possible manner, the contact between the electrical conductor and the electrical conductor track has a low contact resistance and the contacting device can be fixed as easily as possible to a body of an electrical component for providing the electrical conductor track.
Eine Ausführungsform einer derartigen Kontaktierungsvorrichtung ist im Patentanspruch 1 angegeben. Die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung zum Kontaktieren eines elektrischen Leiters an eine elektrische Leiterbahn umfasst ein Gehäuse mit einer ersten Öffnung zum Einschieben des elektrischen Leiters in einen Hohlraum des Gehäuses und einer zweiten Öffnung zum Einschieben der elektrischen Leiterbahn in den Hohlraum des Gehäuses. Die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung umfasst des Weiteren einen Kontaktbügel mit einem ersten Abschnitt, der in dem Hohlraum des Gehäuses angeordnet ist, und einem zweiten Abschnitt. Der Kontaktbügel ist derart ausgebildet, dass der elektrische Leiter nach dem Einschieben des elektrischen Leiters und der elektrischen Leiterbahn in den Hohlraum des Gehäuses mittels des ersten Abschnitts des Kontaktbügels an die elektrische Leiterbahn gedrückt wird, wodurch der elektrische Leiter zum Kontaktieren mit der elektrischen Leiterbahn im Klemmsitz an der elektrischen Leiterbahn gehalten wird. Der Kontaktbügel ist derart ausgebildet, dass die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung mittels des zweiten Abschnitts des Kontaktbügels an einem Körper eines elektrischen Bauelements zum Bereitstellen der elektrischen Leiterbahn fixierbar ist.An embodiment of such a contacting device is specified in claim 1. The contacting device for contacting an electrical conductor with an electrical conductor track comprises a housing with a first opening for inserting the electrical conductor into a cavity of the housing and a second opening for inserting the electrical conductor track into the cavity of the housing. The contacting device further comprises a contact clip with a first section, which is in the cavity of the housing is arranged, and a second section. The contact clip is designed in such a way that the electrical conductor, after the electrical conductor and the electrical conductor track have been inserted into the cavity of the housing, is pressed against the electrical conductor track by means of the first section of the contact clip, as a result of which the electrical conductor is in a press fit for contacting the electrical conductor track is held on the electrical conductor track. The contact clip is designed such that the contacting device can be fixed by means of the second section of the contact clip on a body of an electrical component for providing the electrical conductor track.
Die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung ist als ein modularer Klemmenanschluss ausgebildet, wobei der Kontaktbügel, der für die Kontaktierung des elektrischen Leiters mit der elektrischen Leiterbahn beziehungsweise Strombahn verantwortlich ist, auch gleichzeitig das verbindende Element zwischen dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements und dem modularen Klemmenblock ist. Der Kontaktbügel ist als ein Federelement ausgebildet. Ein Schenkel des Kontaktbügels klemmt den anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiter an die Leiter- beziehungsweise Strombahn. Der andere Schenkel des Kontaktbügels verbindet die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung mit dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements.The contacting device is designed as a modular terminal connection, the contact bracket, which is responsible for contacting the electrical conductor with the electrical conductor track or current path, also being the connecting element between the body of the electrical component and the modular terminal block. The contact clip is designed as a spring element. One leg of the contact clip clamps the electrical conductor to be connected to the conductor or current path. The other leg of the contact clip connects the contacting device to the body of the electrical component.
Die elektrische Leiterbahn, die an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements angeordnet ist, wird bei der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung direkt als Kontaktierungsfläche für den oder die anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiter verwendet. Dadurch kann auf einen Stahlrahmen beziehungsweise einen Stahl-Käfig, der den Kontaktbügel üblicherweise in Position und Funktion hält, verzichtet werden. Somit entfällt ein zusätzlicher Übergangswiderstand, der ansonsten zwischen dem elektrischen Leiter, dem Stahlrahmen und der elektrischen Leiterbahn des Körpers des elektrischen Bauelements vorhanden ist.The electrical conductor track, which is arranged on the body of the electrical component, is used directly in the contacting device as a contact surface for the electrical conductor or conductors to be connected. This means that a steel frame or a steel cage, which usually holds the contact bracket in position and function, can be dispensed with. This eliminates an additional contact resistance, which is otherwise present between the electrical conductor, the steel frame and the electrical conductor track of the body of the electrical component.
Bei der angegebenen Kontaktierungsvorrichtung ist der Kontaktbügel in einem inneren Gehäusekörper, der als Kunststoffrahmen ausgebildet sein kann, integriert und dort in Position und Funktion gehalten. Der innere Gehäusekörper mit dem darin angeordneten Kontaktbügel kann in modulare Bauteile beziehungsweise einen äußeren Gehäusekörper eingeschoben werden. Die Form des äußeren Gehäusekörpers kann an die Form des Körpers des elektrischen Bauelements angepasst sein, so dass das Gehäuse der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements fixiert werden kann. Der äußere Gehäusekörper und der Körper des elektrischen Bauelements können dadurch beispielsweise formschlüssig miteinander verbunden werden.In the specified contacting device, the contact bracket is integrated in an inner housing body, which can be designed as a plastic frame, and held there in position and function. The inner case body with the inside arranged contact bracket can be inserted into modular components or an outer housing body.

Die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung 1 zum Kontaktieren des elektrischen Leiters 10 an die elektrische Leiterbahn 20 umfasst das bereits oben beschriebene Gehäuse 100 und den Kontaktbügel 200. Das Gehäuse 100 weist eine erste Öffnung 101 zum Einschieben des elektrischen Leiters 10 in einen Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses 100 auf. Des Weiteren weist das Gehäuse 100 eine zweite Öffnung 102 zum Einschieben der elektrischen Leiterbahn 20 in den Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses auf. Die elektrische Leiterbahn 20 ist an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements 2 angeordnet, wobei ein Abschnitt der Leiterbahn 20 aus dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements herausragt.The contacting device 1 for contacting the
Der Kontaktbügel 200 umfasst einen ersten Abschnitt 210, der in dem Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses 100 angeordnet ist. Des Weiteren umfasst der Kontaktbügel 200 einen zweiten Abschnitt 220. Der zweite Abschnitt 220 ist über eine dritte Öffnung 103 des Gehäuses 100 von außen zugänglich. Der zweite Abschnitt 220 kann innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnet sein. Gemäß einer möglichen Ausführungsform kann lediglich ein Bereich des zweiten Abschnitts 220 des Kontaktbügels aus der dritten Öffnung 103 hervorstehen beziehungsweise herausragen. Der Kontaktbügel 200 ist derart ausgebildet, dass der elektrische Leiter 10 nach dem Einschieben des elektrischen Leiters 10 und der elektrischen Leiterbahn 20 in den Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses mittels des ersten Abschnitts 210 des Kontaktbügels 200 an die elektrische Leiterbahn 20 gedrückt wird. Der Kontaktbügel 200 und die elektrische Leiterbahn 20 sind separate Elemente, die untereinander unverbunden beziehungsweise nicht aneinander fixiert sind. Lediglich im Zustand, in dem kein elektrischer Leiter in den Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses eingeschoben ist, kann das Ende des ersten Abschnitts 210 des Kontaktbügels die elektrische Leiterbahn 20 berühren.The
Dadurch wird der elektrische Leiter 10 zum Kontaktieren mit der elektrischen Leiterbahn 20 im Klemmsitz an der elektrischen Leiterbahn 20 gehalten. Der Kontaktbügel 200 ist des Weiteren derart ausgebildet, dass die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung 1 mittels des zweiten Abschnitts 220 des Kontaktbügels 200 an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements 2 fixierbar ist. Der Kontaktbügel 200 dient somit sowohl zum unmittelbaren Klemmen des elektrischen Leiters 10 an die elektrische Leiterbahn beziehungsweise Strombahn 20 als auch zum Befestigen der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung 1 an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements 2.As a result, the
Der erste Abschnitt 210 des Kontaktbügels 200 kann als ein federnder Schenkel ausgeformt sein, der beim Einschieben des elektrischen Leiters 10 durch die Öffnung 101 in den Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses 100 zunächst nach unten verbogen wird. Der Kontaktbügel 200 ist derart ausgebildet und in dem Gehäuse 100 gehalten, dass er infolge dieser Verbiegung eine Rückstellkraft erzeugt, mit der er den elektrischen Leiter 10 gegen die elektrische Leiterbahn 20 drückt, so dass der elektrische Leiter 10 an die Leiterbahn 20 geklemmt wird.The
Der zweite Abschnitt 220 des Kontaktbügels 200 ist als ein Rastelement zum Einrasten in eine Struktur 3 des Körpers des elektrischen Bauelements 2 ausgebildet, um die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung 1 an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements zu fixieren. Der zweite Abschnitt 220 des Kontaktbügels ist dazu derart in dem Gehäuse 100 angeordnet, dass er über die Öffnung 103 des Gehäuses von außen zugänglich ist. Die Struktur 3 ist als eine von der elektrischen Leiterbahn 20 verschiedene Struktur des Körpers/Gehäuses des elektrischen Bauelements ausgebildet. Die Struktur 3 kann beispielsweise ein Vorsprung beziehungsweise eine Nase an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements 2 sein, die in den gebogenen zweiten Abschnitt 220 des Kontaktbügels einrastet, um die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung 1 an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements 2 zu befestigen. Im befestigten Zustand dringt die elektrische Leiterbahn 20 durch die zweite Öffnung 102 des Gehäuses in den Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses ein.The
Der Kontaktbügel 200 kann zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Abschnitt 210, 220 einen dritten Abschnitt 230 aufweisen, an dem der Kontaktbügel 200 an dem Gehäuse 100 befestigt ist. Gemäß einer möglichen Ausführungsform kann die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung 1 des Weiteren einen Hebel 300 zum Bewegen des ersten Abschnitts 210 des Kontaktbügels 200 entgegen der Rückstellkraft umfassen, um den elektrischen Leiter 10 durch Herunterdrücken des ersten Abschnitts 210 des Kontaktbügels aus dem Klemmsitz zu lösen.The
Gemäß einer möglichen Ausführungsform kann innerhalb des Hohlraums 104 des Gehäuses ein Halteelement 400 angeordnet sein, an dem der Kontaktbügel 200 innerhalb des Gehäuses in Position und Funktion gehalten wird. Das Halteelement 400 ist derart ausgebildet, dass der Kontaktbügel 200 seitlich als auch von oben abgestützt wird.According to a possible embodiment, a holding

Gemäß einer möglichen Ausführungsform des Gehäuses 100 ist der innere Gehäusekörper 110 als ein Hohlkörper mit einer Bodenfläche 111 und Seitenwänden 112, die den Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses 100 seitlich und von unten begrenzen, ausgebildet. Die zweite Öffnung 102 des Gehäuses zum Einschieben der elektrischen Leiterbahn 20 in den Hohlraum 104 des Gehäuses 100 kann in der Bodenfläche 111 des inneren Gehäusekörpers 110 angeordnet sein. Die dritte Öffnung 103 des Gehäuses 100 kann an einer der Seitenwände 112 des inneren Gehäusekörpers 110 vorgesehen sein. Der zweite Abschnitt 220 des Kontaktbügels ist derart in dem Gehäuse angeordnet, dass er über der Bodenfläche 111 des inneren Gehäusekörpers 110 endet und insbesondere nicht aus der Bodenfläche 111 herausragt.According to a possible embodiment of the
Gemäß einer weiteren möglichen Ausführungsform des Gehäuses ist der äußere Gehäusekörper 120 als ein Hohlkörper mit einem Deckel 121 und Seitenwänden 122 ausgebildet. Der äußere Gehäusekörper 120 ist derart über dem inneren Gehäusekörper 110 angeordnet, dass eine offene Seite des inneren Gehäusekörpers 110 von der Deckelfläche 121 des äußeren Gehäusekörpers 120 abgedeckt wird. Die Seitenwände 112 des inneren Gehäusekörpers 110 sind von den Seitenwänden 122 des äußeren Gehäusekörpers 120 umgeben. Der äußere Gehäusekörper 120 ist über den inneren Gehäusekörper 110 gestülpt. Die erste Öffnung 101 des Gehäuses 100 ist in dem Deckelteil 121 des äußeren Gehäusekörpers 120 angeordnet. Ebenso ist auch der Hebel 300 in dem Deckelteil 121 des äußeren Gehäusekörpers 120 angeordnet.According to a further possible embodiment of the housing, the
Der innere Gehäusekörper 110 kann als ein Kunststoffrahmen ausgebildet sein und bildet zusammen mit dem Kontaktbügel ein modulares Innengehäuse der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung. Der äußere Gehäusekörper kann von seiner äußeren Form her an den äußeren Körper des elektrischen Bauelements 2 angepasst sein und bildet das modulare Außengehäuse der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung. Dadurch kann die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung formschlüssig an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements 2 befestigt werden.The
Der zweite Abschnitt 220 des Kontaktbügels weist einen sich an den dritten Abschnitt 230 anschließenden ersten Bereich 221, einen sich an den ersten Bereich 221 anschließenden zweiten Bereich 222 und einen sich an den zweiten Bereich anschließenden dritten Bereich 223 auf, der das über der Bodenfläche 111 des inneren Gehäusekörpers angeordnete Ende des Kontaktbügels darstellt. Der erste und der dritte Bereich 221 und 223 des Kontaktbügels sind nach außen in Richtung der Seitenwand 112 des inneren Gehäusekörpers gebogen, während der zwischen dem ersten und dritten Bereich 221, 223 angeordnete zweite Bereich 222 des Kontaktbügels nach innen in Richtung des Hohlraums 104 des Gehäuses gebogen ist. Der zweite Abschnitt 220 des Kontaktbügels kann einen sich an den dritten Bereich 223 anschließenden vierten Bereich 224 aufweisen, der in Richtung des Hohlraums 104 des Gehäuses gebogen ist. Der vierte Abschnitt endet oberhalb der Bodenfläche 111 des inneren Gehäusekörpers 110.The
Der erste, zweite und dritte Bereich 221, 222 und 223 des zweiten Abschnitts 220 des Kontaktbügels können innerhalb des Gehäuses 100 angeordnet sein. Der zweite Bereich 222 des zweiten Abschnitts 220 des Kontaktbügels kann gemäß einer möglichen Ausführungsform aus der Öffnung 103 in der Seitenwand 112 des inneren Gehäusekörpers herausragen.The first, second and
Mittels der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung 1 kann beim Verbinden der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung mit dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements ein zusätzliches Verbindungselement eingespart werden, da die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung über den Abschnitt 220 des Kontaktbügels 200 an dem Körper des elektrischen Bauelements 2 befestigt werden kann. Da der Kontaktbügel des Weiteren den anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiter 10 mittels des federnden Schenkels 210 unmittelbar an die elektrische Leiterbahn 20 klemmt, entfällt ein zusätzlicher Übergangswiderstand zwischen dem elektrischen Leiter 10 und der elektrischen Leiterbahn 20. Im Vergleich zu einer Käfigkonstruktion bei der herkömmlichen Push-In-Technik weist die Kontaktierungsvorrichtung 1 einen kleinen Bauraum und eine kostengünstige Konstruktion auf. Mit der Kontaktierungsvorrichtung kann somit eine kostenneutrale, qualitätsneutrale und bauraumneutrale Kontaktierungsmöglichkeit zum Kontaktieren eines elektrischen Leiters an eine elektrische Leiter- beziehungsweise Strombahn eines elektrischen Bauelements bereitgestellt werden.By means of the contacting device 1, an additional connection element can be saved when connecting the contacting device to the body of the electrical component, since the contacting device is connected to the
