Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tap for a linear power distribution arrangement, the tap comprising a circuit board and a number of contact elements.
  • Linear power distribution arrangements are used in particular for lighting systems in buildings in order to lay cables for supplying devices with energy and/or signals in a cost-effective and visually appealing manner.
  • Signals are understood to mean both the transmission of general signals, such as control signals, and the transmission of data, such as measurement or information data.
  • the installation location of the devices can be flexibly selected and easily varied along a housing body of the power distribution arrangement.
  • the devices can thus be contacted in an electrically conductive manner using a connecting element with the conductors of a linear supply unit at a variably definable installation location.
  • Such power distribution arrangements have the advantage that the devices are carried on the housing body both in an electrically contacting manner and also mechanically.
  • linear supply units are usually used in the linear power distribution arrangements, which are stored in a housing body.
  • These supply units can be designed, for example, as current-carrying profiles but also as ribbon cables.
  • the current-carrying profiles are formed from a base body extending in the longitudinal direction with a contacting area which has a number of chambers in which individual conductors are arranged.
  • These current-carrying profiles are generally rigid and have a limited length due to the manufacturing process.
  • connecting elements can also be used when using ribbon cables.
  • the terminal devices are contacted with the conductors of the linear supply units usually via a tap that includes a number of contact elements. These contact elements engage in the chambers and contact the corresponding conductors, whereby the signals or energy from the conductors can be conducted to the terminal devices via the taps.
  • the problem with this type of design is that the taps have so far been constructed from a number of individual contact elements, each of which is designed as a separate component that not only has to be individually integrated into the tap, but also has to be wired and connected individually. This leads to considerable additional material expenditure in the production of the taps, complicated and error-prone work steps when connecting the contact elements and an increased space requirement because the wiring of the contact elements also has to be integrated into the tap.
  • the contact elements in the tap are usually installed and connected once, so that a later change in position is hardly possible or only possible with considerable additional effort.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a system, in particular a tap, for tapping the signals and / or the energy of a linear power distribution arrangement, which is particularly compact, inexpensive and easy to manufacture and in which the position of the contact elements can be changed particularly easily .
  • the invention is based on the idea that a particularly compact design and quick and simple production can be achieved if the connection and wiring of each individual contact element could be dispensed with. This could be the case if the tap already provides predefined connections or contact locations for the contact elements, which are already connected in a previous work step and preferably automatically. It was recognized that this can be achieved if conductor tracks of a circuit board are used for wiring the contact elements and the contact elements are arranged at predetermined positions on the circuit board. The contact elements can be soldered, plugged or screwed on at these positions.
  • the current bridges are arranged on the circuit board onto which the contact elements are plugged. These contact elements are designed to be movable on the current bridges and along them, so that the position of the contact elements along these current bridges can be varied particularly easily.
  • the current bridges are of course not only designed to hold the contact elements, but can also receive the signals and forward them to the conductor tracks.
  • the current bridges are soldered, plugged or screwed onto the circuit board.
  • the contact elements include spring elements that generate a spring force perpendicular to the plane of the circuit board and in the direction of the conductors of the linear supply units and thus press the contact elements against the conductors. This means that a sufficiently high contact force can always be provided.
  • the spring elements are preferably arranged in the contact elements in such a way that they are supported on the current bridges and thus generate a spring force in the direction of the conductors.
  • the circuit board comprises at least one socket, which is electrically connected to the contact elements via conductor tracks, i.e. in terms of energy and/or signaling.
  • the terminal devices can be connected to the tap at one or more central locations and individual wiring of each contact element to a terminal device is not necessary.
  • the circuit board comprises electronic components on the circuit board in order to process the incoming energy or the signals. These electronic components can in particular be chips or logic units.
  • At least one current bridge can comprise a ground line, which is preferably connected to the housing of the power distribution arrangement.
  • the tap includes a protective cover.
  • This protective cover has a number of openings through which the contact elements can pass. The openings are designed in such a way that the contact elements can be moved further along the current bridges, i.e. they simulate the course of the current bridges.
  • the protective cover is installed after the contact elements have been plugged onto the current bridges plugged into the circuit board and attached to it.
  • the protective cover can also serve as a stopper.
  • the contact element includes a stop that is wider than the width of the openings, whereby the contact elements can only reach through the openings to a certain depth.
  • the contact elements and current bridges share a circuit board with the control units of the end devices, in particular the drivers for lighting devices. This would then eliminate the need for additional wiring or additional connection of the control units to the tap, since all components can be connected to one another electrically and in terms of signals via the shared circuit board and existing conductor tracks. Therefore, in a particularly preferred embodiment, the driver circuit board, i.e. the circuit board of the control unit of a terminal, is also arranged at the same time as the circuit board for a tap on which contact elements are arranged.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that the arrangement of the contact elements on a circuit board enables a particularly compact and simple design of the taps.
  • the complex and space-consuming wiring of the individual contact elements to the end devices is no longer necessary, as these are replaced by prefabricated conductor tracks.
  • the already existing circuit board of a control unit for the end devices in particular a driver for lighting devices, can be used, whereby further space and additional costs can be saved.
  • additional electrical components for processing the incoming energy or signals can be easily integrated into the system, which offers a wide range of possibilities.
  • the tap 1 includes a circuit board 2 on which a large number of elements are arranged. These essentially include a number of current bridges 4, which are soldered or plugged onto the circuit board 2 and are connected electrically or for signaling purposes to conductor tracks (not shown). These current bridges 4 serve as slots for the contact elements 6 and also establish an electrical or signaling connection between the conductor tracks and the contact elements 6.
  • the current bridges 4 are arranged perpendicular to the circuit board plane and extend in the direction of the conductors to be contacted. For reliable contacting of the conductors by the contact elements 6, they include spring elements (not shown).
  • spring elements are arranged within the contact elements 6 and are supported on the current bridges 4, or generally on the upper edge of the current bridges 4, ie the edge facing away from the circuit board 2, and generate a spring force which presses the contact elements 6 in the direction of the conductors.
  • the spring elements are specifically designed to secure the contact between the contact elements 6 and the conductors and not to enable contacting of the contact elements 6 on the current bridges 4. For this reason, the spring elements are essentially not designed to carry current.
  • the current conduction between the contact elements 6 and the current bridges 4 is preferably carried out by a fork contact.
  • the current bridges 4 are designed to be widened, so that the contact elements 6 can be moved along the current bridges 4 in order to be able to contact different conductors of a linear supply unit.
  • the circuit board 2 comprises a number of sockets 8, which are also electrically and signally connected to the conductor tracks and thus directly to the contact elements 6. Plugs or individual conductors of the terminal devices or the control elements for terminal devices can be inserted into these sockets 8, so that a particularly simple Connection of tap 1 is possible.
  • the circuit board 2 is housed in a housing 10 and provided with a protective cover 12.
  • This protective cover 12 includes a number of openings 14, the position and dimensions of which are adapted to the current bridges 4 on the circuit board 2.
  • the contact elements 6 can pass through these openings 14.
  • the contact elements 6 include a stop 16, which in the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 1 is visible.
  • both elements include corresponding holders 18, for example in the form of a locking hook.
  • Such a tap 1 is shown in use, that is, in contact with a linear supply unit 20.
  • Such a linear supply unit 1 is usually used in linear power distribution arrangements, not shown.
  • These linear power distribution arrangements regularly include a housing body which has a base section and two side wall sections, which each extend away from the opposite edge regions of the base section and are designed essentially parallel to one another and perpendicular to the base section.
  • These housing bodies are attached to the ceiling of a building and include a holder for receiving a linear supply unit 20.
  • a feeder also not shown, then directs current and/or signals into the linear supply units 20.
  • the linear supply unit 20 is in Fig. 3 Current-carrying profile is formed and comprises a base body 22 made of a base material with a number of chambers 24 arranged next to one another for receiving conductors 26.
  • a base body 22 made of a base material with a number of chambers 24 arranged next to one another for receiving conductors 26.
  • the arrangement of the chambers next to each other and in one plane is also conceivable.
  • the tap 1 follows in the exemplary embodiment Fig. 3 with its contact elements 6 into the chambers 24 of the linear supply unit 20 and contacts the conductors 26.
  • the current or the signals from the conductors 26 of the linear supply unit 20 can be sent via the contact elements 6, the current bridges 4, the conductor tracks and the sockets 8 the end devices are passed on. If in the present case a conductor 26 of another, adjacent chamber 24 is to be contacted by a contact element 6, the contact element 26 can, as already mentioned above, be moved along the current bridge 4 into the new position without the need for new wiring of the contact elements.
  • a driver 28 of a lamp is in the exemplary embodiments according to Figs. 4 and 5 shown.
  • the driver 28 is designed as a control element of the lamp and includes a circuit board 2 anyway.
  • this circuit board 2 is now additionally used as a circuit board 2 for the tap. This allows them to be in the Fig. 1 to 3 Sockets 8 shown can be saved, since the forwarding of the energy and / or signals to the end device, here the driver 1 itself, can be realized via the conductor tracks of the circuit board 2.
  • the circuit board 2 of the driver 28 is therefore already used in the exemplary embodiments Fig. 1 to 3 Use elements for contacting arranged in the same way.
  • a protective cover 12 with a number of openings 14 is also provided, which can now optionally extend over the entire driver 28 or as in the exemplary embodiments Figs. 4 and 5 shown only over the area of the circuit board 2, in which the elements for contacting are arranged.
  • contact elements 6 are of course not limited to the contact elements 6 shown here, but depending on the conductors 26 or chambers 24 used, other contact elements 6, for example piercing contacts or lateral contacting of the conductors 26, are also possible.
