Definitions

  • the invention relates to a potential distributor arrangement for electrical conductors.
  • Potential distributor arrangements which are often also referred to as potential distributor blocks or potential collector blocks, are often used in circuit technology to distribute potentials or to place electrical conductors connected to the potential distributor arrangement at a common potential.
  • the potential distributor arrangements known from the prior art usually comprise a number of block-shaped elements, which have a feed element for accommodating one or more conductors with a larger cross section, which is usually also referred to as the feed cross section, and one or more distribution elements for accommodating one or several conductors with a smaller cross-section, which is also commonly referred to as the distribution cross-section.
  • the block-shaped elements are often arranged on a mounting base, such as a mounting rail.
  • the electrical connection of the electrical conductors to the potential distributor arrangement is carried out in the most varied of ways in the prior art, for example via a screw or clamp connection.
  • the known feed and distribution elements are often connected to one another by means of line bridges or fixed bridges.
  • line bridges or fixed bridges For example, describe the DE 10 2014 105 316 A1 , DE 202 20 108 U1 and DE 297 19 177 U1 Terminal block blocks that are interconnected using rows of terminal blocks.
  • the terminal blocks can be connected to one another via a busbar, which can also be referred to as a plug-in bridge, connection clamp, cross connector or jumper.
  • the object of the present invention is to reduce the variance of the elements in a potential distributor arrangement for different applications.
  • the potential distributor arrangement can also be referred to herein as a potential distributor block arrangement or distributor block arrangement and can be used to distribute or collect potentials, for example for load and control current distribution.
  • the electrical conductors described herein may be flexible electrical conductors fitted with ferrules with or without a plastic sleeve. Alternatively, the electrical conductors can also be rigid.
  • the feed element can have an opening into which the first electrical conductor can be introduced and, in the inserted state, can be held in the opening for the electrical connection of the feed element to the first electrical conductor.
  • the first electrical conductor can, for example, feed current into a power grid and can have a larger cross section than the electrical conductors that can be connected to the distribution element.
  • the feed element can have a plurality of openings for connecting more than one electrical conductor for feeding.

  • the flat contact can be inserted at least in regions into an opening in the respective other housing and can be electrically connected to a corresponding contact in the opening.
  • the connection can be made, for example, by arranging the two housings next to one another or by moving them towards one another.
  • a contact rocker can be designed as a corresponding contact and when plugging in, a torque can be exerted in an insertion direction, to which the contact rocker can yield.
  • this can be done by elastic deformation of a spring means, such as a spring element or a spring arm.
  • the inserted plug-in element can thus be clamped in the housing and held in place in the axial direction in order to ensure a secure connection and to make it difficult for the inserted plug-in element to move axially in or against the insertion direction.
  • the feed element and the distribution element can be electrically connected to electrically connect the electrical conductors, which can each be arranged in the feed element and the distribution element and thus serve to distribute the potential connected to the feed element.
  • the plug-in connection eliminates the use of separate plug-in bridges or similar elements and the feed current can be transmitted to the distribution element without losses through the plug-in bridges or similar elements mentioned above.
  • the desired conductor cross-sections and number of poles can advantageously be plugged together for a desired application.
  • the first plug-in element of the feed element and the second plug-in element of the distribution element are arranged next to one another in an assembled state of the feed element and the distribution element, on opposite housing sides of the feed element and the distribution element, for plugging the feed element and the distribution element together.
