  • the installation location of the devices can then be selected flexibly along the busbar and varied slightly.
  • the devices can then not only be easily contacted with a connector in a simple manner electrically conductive with the lines to a variably determinable installation location.
  • Such busbar systems also have the advantage that the devices can be carried at the same time mechanically on the busbar.
  • the busbar connector is formed from a one-piece insulating material, in which contact elements for the current-carrying lines of the current-carrying profiles and line contact connectors are integrated between these contact elements.
  • the energy supply to the current-carrying lines of the current-carrying profiles can be done by integrated into the busbar connector lines.
  • US 6,296,498 B1 discloses a busbar connector, which in turn is inserted axially in the extension direction of the current-carrying profiles in this. In this case, located on the side walls of the current-carrying profile conductors are contacted by laterally projecting plug contacts of the busbar connector.

  • US 2003/021111 A1 a variant shown in which electrically connected by means of cables pairs of busbar connectors are attached to the top of the current-carrying profiles.
  • the electrically conductive connection is then made at a distance from the location of the successive current-carrying profiles.
  • the plug contacts are adapted to the comb-like structure of the bus bar to be inserted into this from the top, thereby contacting the guided in the grooves formed by the webs of the comb-like structure lines.
  • DE 10 2010 032 383 B4 discloses a busbar connector with two slidably mounted in the longitudinal direction of each other Isolierstoffgeophuseieri. At the two ends of the insulating material plug contact portions are provided with projecting on a bottom of the insulating housing plug contacts. These plug contact sections are plugged onto the top of the current-carrying profile. The plug contacts of the two opposite plug contact regions are electrically conductively connected to one another via conductor contact connectors, which are accommodated in guide grooves of the insulating material housing.
  • busbar connector having the features of claim 1 and with the set of two complementary busbar connectors and metal troughs, each with its incorporated current-carrying profile with the feature of claim 14.
  • Advantageous embodiments are described in the subclaims.
  • This angle can e.g. be a right angle, so that the levels are approximately perpendicular to each other.
  • a plug contact for a complementary bus bar connector is provided, which in the axial direction, i. is plugged onto the first busbar connector in the direction of the extension of the current-carrying profiles to be connected to one another in a conductive manner.
  • the set of bus bar connectors and complementary bus bar connectors has three interfaces, the spaced apart first plug contact areas providing an interface for vertically plugging onto the current routing profiles and the second plug contact areas providing an interface for axially mating the bus bar connectors.
  • an interface to the axial plug connection with the second plug contact regions is then also provided.
  • this has the advantage that an electrically conductive connection of current-conducting profiles to be arranged one behind the other can be produced directly in the step of juxtaposing current-carrying profiles.
  • this electrically conductive connection is not realized by plug-contacting the line of the current-carrying profiles in the axial direction, but by a further connector, in the extension direction of the current-carrying profiles, i. acts in the axial direction.
  • the second plug contacts can be provided on the busbar connector itself a reliable, long-term stable contact. The contact conditions are thus specified solely by the busbar connectors and are not dependent on the conditions of the current-carrying profile.
  • the second plug contacts of the second plug contact region can be designed as blade contacts and / or fork contacts.
  • the second plug contacts of the first bus bar connector can be designed as blade contacts and the plug contacts of a complementary bus bar connector as fork contacts.
  • a combination is also conceivable such that a connector for a plurality of second plug contacts has a variation of blade and fork contacts and the complementary plug connector, which is provided for plugging onto the plug connector, has a correspondingly matched complementary variation of fork and blade contacts.
  • a hermaphroditic plug contact with blade and / or fork contacts is conceivable.
  • the plug-in connection of two busbar connectors with the aid of blade and fork contacts enables a reliable plug-in contact even for high currents, which is long-term stable and can be implemented easily and reliably.
  • the knife and fork contacts are also very compact executable.
  • the first plug-in contacts for plugging on the current-carrying profiles and contacting on webs of the current-carrying profiles arranged lines may each have at least one spring tongue. This allows an electrically conductive contacting of the busbar connector with lines by utilizing spring forces of the spring tongues. While in forks of two forks successive forces are exerted on the intermediate blade contact, the contact force is exerted on the line to be contacted only one side of the spring tongues on one side.
  • the spring tongues may have at least one laterally projecting contact edge. This has the advantage that the spring tongues when plugging in to be contacted Claw lines of the current-carrying profile. Thus, a relative movement of the plug contacts to the lines along the extension direction of the lines can be prevented in a simple manner.
  • webs may be formed, which are provided for insertion into the intermediate space of adjacent webs of the current-carrying profile and in each case carry the first plug contacts, wherein on both sides of the web in each case a plug contact can be arranged.
  • These webs thus serve to receive the first plug contacts and to guide the busbar connector with its first plug contact area into the space between the webs of the current guide profile to be contacted, when the busbar connector is attached to the top of the current-carrying profile.
  • the webs ensure electrical insulation of adjacent plug contacts.
  • the second plug contacts can then be mounted movably in the plug-in direction in the insulating material.
  • This has the advantage that relative movements of the current routing profiles arranged in alignment one behind the other at the interface between the busbar connector and the complementary busbar connector attached thereto in the second plug-in contact region are compensated.
  • the plug-in contact of the second plug contacts of the busbar connector and the plugged complementary busbar connector is not affected in such axial movement.
  • the length compensation then takes place in each case in the connection of the movably mounted second plug contacts with the associated first plug contacts of the same busbar connector.
  • the entire pair of contacts consisting of the electrically conductive interconnected first and second plug contacts and the intermediate busbar piece may be movably received in the insulating material. This ensures that each of the plug contacts of a contact pair can move independently of each other, if individual lines in the current guide profile extend different from each other.
  • the pairs of first and second plug contacts may be connected to each other via a bus bar piece or a flexible line.
  • the busbar piece may be a flexible, e.g. meandering section to provide a length tolerance compensation. But the busbar piece can also be multi-part and have a coupling to compensate for movements in the axial direction while ensuring a good contact.
  • the pairs of first and second plug contacts may be integrally formed with a busbar piece connecting the plug contacts. You can then simply as e.g. From a sheet metal molded part are inserted into the insulating material. This allows easy installation and a reliable construction of the busbar connector.
  • the insulating housing may have fastening elements or fastening contours for fixing to the current-carrying profile or a metal trough carrying or receiving the current-carrying profile. This further avoids the danger that the contacts present on the first plug-in contact area move relative to the lines of the current-carrying profile.
  • the busbar connector is fixedly connected in this way with the associated current-carrying profile, to which the busbar connector is attached. Alternatively, the determination takes place with the metal trough receiving the current-carrying profile.
  • the busbar connector has a protective cap for covering the second plug contact area.
  • a transport protection is available, which can be removed during assembly of the light strips.
  • This protective cap can have a contour designed to automatically release the protective cap from the second plug contact region when the complementary bus bar connector is plugged onto the second plug contact region. This ensures in any case that a touch of the second plug contacts in the second plug contact area is impossible, even if the busbar connector is plugged onto a power guide profile.
  • This protective cap is then removed only when attaching a complementary busbar connector. But this is not easy manually with the result that the second plug contacts then still temporarily not protected against touch.
  • a suitable contour of the cap that it dissolves automatically when attaching the complementary busbar connector from the second plug contact area.
  • This can be realized by a latching connection and guide projections which cooperate with the complementary busbar connector and / or the current-carrying profile and / or the metal trough, which then cancels the snap-in connection and moves the protective cap away from the second plug-in contact region by the pushing-on process.
  • the second plug contact region can be formed without latching means for the movable plug connection of the insulating material housing and the second plug contacts of the busbar connector and a complementary busbar connector received therein. This has the advantage that the plug connection between the busbar connector and the complementary busbar connector remains movable in the axial direction. For a tolerance compensation in the connection of the second plug contacts is ensured with each other.
  • second plug contacts of a busbar connector which are provided for contacting different lines of the current-carrying profile, can be arranged one above the other in two planes.
  • the second plug contact region then has an insulating insert with a bottom separating the two planes and with partitions between second plug contacts arranged side by side in a common plane. In this way, the second plug contact region can be made very compact. Using the additional Isolierstoffeinlegeteils then manages to provide the required clearance and creepage distances between the juxtaposed and stacked second plug contacts and to allow quick and easy installation of the second plug contacts in the insulating material.
  • the bus bar connector may have a leading ground contact terminal with one on a side wall of the insulating housing for plug contacting a metal trough, in which the current-carrying profile is accommodated, when the Busbar connector is attached to the arranged in the metal trough power guide profile.
  • This additional earthing contact terminal ensures a continuous grounding of the metal trough in a simple and reliable manner.

  • the contact force and the current cross-section is increased compared to the overlying contact parts 19, which is particularly important for the grounding contact.
  • FIGS. 21 to 24 show the insulating housing 2 provided with the lower part 18 and cover 3 and the associated contact inserts 19 for the formation of single-row complementary busbar connectors 1a, 1b.
  • These contact inserts 19 are comparable to the embodiment described above only with spatially slightly modified connection of the busbar piece 20 to the first plug-in contact connection 5 educated.
  • FIG. 25 shows a detail view of a metal trough 11 with the current-carrying profile 6 accommodated therein.
  • fasteners 37 are formed, for example in the form of protruding knobs. These fastening elements 37 are provided in order to fix a conductor rail connector 1 a, 1 b attached to the current-carrying profile 6 to the metal trough 11. This can be done by a locking connection, a screw connection or the like.
  • the fasteners 37 may also be simply designed as holes for receiving tapping screws.
  • FIG. 26 shows the snapshot view FIG. 25 with now plugged busbar connector 1b. It is clear that the busbar connector 1 b on one side has a mounting area with a matching to the fastening element 37 of the metal trough 11 fastener 38. For example, the busbar connector 1b can be latched to the metal trough 11.
  • FIG. 27 shows a perspective view of a metal trough 11 with a busbar connector 1b, which is plugged onto a non-visible current-carrying profile 6 in the metal trough 11.
  • This busbar connector 1b is covered by a connecting element 39, more precisely with a retaining plate 40 of the connecting element 39.
  • the connecting element 39 has opposite side guide wall sections 41, which are inserted on the left side in the profile of the metal trough 11, so that the connecting element is aligned in the alignment of the metal trough 11. Then, a further metal trough 11 with arranged thereon current guide profile 6 attached to the guide wall portions 41 and are pushed by means of the guide wall portions 41 to the underlying metal trough 11.
  • busbar connector 1a A thereby already plugged onto the current guide profile 6 busbar connector 1a is guided in this way position and position correct to the busbar connector 1b, so that they enter into an electrically conductive plug contact during the sliding of two metal troughs 11.
  • the busbar connector 1a, 1b also protrude a guide finger 42 which engages in a corresponding guide opening in the opposite, complementary busbar connector 1a, 1b.
  • FIG. 28 shows a cross-sectional view through the metal trough 11 from FIG. 27 , It is clear that the holding plate 40 rests on the top of the busbar connector 1 and this holds on the busbar 6.
  • the guide wall sections 41 on the opposite sides then rest on the side walls 43 of the metal tray 11 and can also be guided into corresponding guide grooves or on the corresponding contours.
  • FIG. 29 shows a perspective view of two in the direction of arrow to each other slidable metal troughs 11 with incorporated therein power guide profiles 6 and already before assembly to the current control profiles 6 plugged busbar connectors 1a, 1b.
  • the connecting element 39 With the help of the connecting element 39, it is possible to keep not only the already plugged busbar connectors 1a, 1b on the support plate on the current guide profiles 6, but also with the help of the guide wall portions 41, the metal troughs 11 aligned to move toward each other. In this case, the already plugged busbar connectors 1a, 1b are fed to each other in the correct position and plugged into one another.
  • tabs 44 are present, which can exert a spring pressure on the busbar connectors 1a, 1b and at least serve for improved introduction.
  • FIG. 30 allows a view of a built-in a metal trough 11 power guide profile 6 with it plugged busbar connector 1 recognize. It is clear that the current-carrying profile 6 is covered on one side with a protective cap 45 on the front side.
  • FIG. 31 shows a cutaway view of a metal trough 11 with built-in power guide profile 6 and mounted thereon busbar connector 1.
  • a protective cap 46 On the end of the metal trough 11, a protective cap 46 is pushed, the one Provides transport protection.
  • This protective cap 46 may be provided for manual removal before plugging together second busbar connectors 1a, 1b. It is advantageous, however, if the protective cap 46 has a contour designed in such a way that the protective cap 46 automatically loosens and falls off when an adjacent metal trough 11 is attached or possibly only when a corresponding busbar connector 1a, 1b is attached.
  • projecting webs 47 may be provided on the inside of the protective cap 46.
  • FIG. 32 shows the metal trough 11 with end-pushed protective cap 46 from FIG. 31 facing the outside.
  • the protective cap 46 is adapted to the cross-sectional contour of the metal trough 11.
  • FIG. 33 shows a perspective view of the protective cap 46. It is clear that protrude at the opposite edge edges retaining tabs, which rest on the marginal edges of the metal trough 11 in the deferred state and hold the cap 46 to the metal trough 11. Visible are also stops 49 in the form of transverse webs, which form a stop for a metal trough 11 when the protective cap 46 is pushed onto the metal trough.
  • FIG. 34 shows a variant of the busbar connectors 1a, 1b, in which the plug contacts 9 are rounded end.
  • the plug contacts 9 can be arranged on two contact levels as shown.
  • the rounded variant is basically independent of the number of insertion levels.
