Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug-in relay and an additional module, the plug-in relay having a socket with a relay mechanism and connecting pins for plugging into a relay socket.
  • Timers that have different functions have been known for some time, e.g. Response delay, dropout delay, pulse conversion, flashing signal generation, etc.
  • Relay sockets have also become known which have a special space for accommodating a time module.
  • the disadvantage here is that there is relatively little space available for such a time module in the relay socket and that the normal control paths for the relay coil in the base must be interrupted because the control takes place via the module.
  • a particular disadvantage is that the time module is difficult to remove from the relay socket for checking or replacement.
  • the invention provides a plug-in relay and an additional module, the plug-in relay having a base carrying a relay mechanism with connecting pins for plugging into a relay socket.
  • the invention is characterized in that the additional module is detachably connected to the plug-in relay by a connecting device and has connecting pins for insertion into the relay socket.
  • the additional module can also be built relatively large, which also offers advantages in its manufacture. It can also be done with little effort a variety of functions can be accommodated in the additional module because there is enough space for them. Since the additional module is not housed in the relay socket, there is space for other components, such as diodes and capacitors.
  • the connecting device advantageously has blocking means which prevent the additional module from being pulled out of the relay socket without simultaneously pulling out the plug-in relay. If the plug relay is prevented from falling out of the relay socket by a bracket, the additional module is also prevented from falling out.
  • both the plug-in relay and the additional module advantageously have a housing. It is possible to give these housings a shape which can serve as a connecting device practically without additional effort.
  • Anchoring means for complementary anchoring means can therefore be provided on the module housing on the relay housing.
  • a dovetail guide is expediently formed on the relay housing and a dovetail is formed on the module housing.
  • the additional module can only be inserted from below, the insertion depth being limited by the protruding housing edge. There is therefore no danger that when the plug-in relay is inserted into the relay socket, only the plug-in relay will be fully inserted, but not the additional module. Due to the outstanding housing edge, the additional module is rather taken along and securely inserted into the relay socket, even if only the plug-in relay is held when plugged in. As already mentioned before, it is also sufficient to secure the plug-in relay and additional module if only the plug-in relay is secured with a clip.
  • the invention also relates to a socket for plug-in relay and additional module, with a socket part made of plastic, which has a number of plug-in openings arranged on a pitch circle for the connecting pins of the plug-in relay, as well as at least one number of terminal openings corresponding to the number of plug-in openings, which are located on two opposite one another Sides of the socket part are arranged, clamps accommodated in the terminal openings, and contact forks for the plug-in relay arranged in the insertion openings, at least some of these contact forks each having a conductor section for connection to a terminal.
  • the invention is characterized in that a number of further insertion openings for the connecting pins of the additional module are arranged at a distance from the pitch circle, that contact forks are arranged in the said further insertion openings, a first number of which have a conductor section for connection to a terminal and one second number have a conductor section for connection to a contact fork for the plug-in relay.
  • a preferred embodiment of the relay socket has more terminals than insertion openings for the connecting pins of the plug relay.
  • the socket part made of plastic advantageously has a recess that can be closed with a cover for receiving components, e.g. Capacitors, diodes, etc., on.
  • the relay socket is expediently designed such that it can be lined up with further relay sockets.
  • the 1 shows a plug-in relay 11 with an additional module 13 connected to it, both of which are inserted together into a relay socket 15.
  • the additional module 13 can, for example, be a time module which, together with the relay 11, forms a time relay.
  • the time module 13 can have various functions, e.g. Blinking function, wiping function, response delay, dropout delay, etc.
  • the additional module 13 is detachably connected to the plug-in relay 15 by a connecting device 17.
  • a dovetail guide 19 of the relay housing 21 serves as a connecting device, in which a dovetail 23 of the module housing 25 can slide.
  • the relay housing 21 has a projecting housing edge 27 at the top, which limits the sliding movement of the dovetail 23 in the dovetail guide 19.
  • the plug-in relay 11 has a base 30 with connecting pins 29 (FIG. 3) for insertion into the insertion openings 31 (FIG. 5) of the relay socket 15.
  • the module 13 has connection pins 33 for insertion into insertion openings 35 in the relay socket 15.
  • the additional module 13 expediently has a two-part housing 25 with the lower part 24, on which the dovetail 19 is formed, and the upper part 26.
  • the lower part 24 also carries the circuit 28 of the additional module 13.
  • the plug-in relay 11 can be a standard plug-in relay, which can mainly be used without the additional module 13, but, as already described, has a dovetail guide 19. Is an additional module, e.g. a time module, if desired, can be inserted into the dovetail guide 19 (FIG. 3) until the dovetail 23 abuts the projecting edge 27 of the housing. Together with the module 13, the relay 11 can now be inserted into the relay socket 15 (FIG. 1).
  • an additional module e.g. a time module
  • the relay socket 15 is shown in Figures 5 to 7. It consists essentially of the lower part 41 and the upper part 43.
  • the upper part 43 has plug-in openings 31 arranged on a pitch circle 32 for the plug-in relay 11 and plug-in openings 35 for the additional module 13, as has already been mentioned above.
  • On each side of the relay socket there are six clamping openings 44 with connecting terminals 45 (FIG. 6), of which only the screws 47 are visible in FIG. 5.
  • 7 shows how the contact pieces establish a connection from the connection terminals 45 to the insertion openings 31 or 35 or between two insertion openings 31 and 35.
  • FIGS. 8a to 10a three different basic shapes 49a, 49b and 49c of contact pieces are accordingly provided.
  • the contact pieces 49a and 49c have different lengths of conductor sections 50 and 52, respectively, and different bevels, as shown for example in FIGS. 8 and 10.
  • the contact fork 51 comes to lie in an insertion opening 31 for the plug-in relay 15, while the contact fork 53 comes to lie in an insertion opening 35.
  • the relay socket 15 can also be used as a normal relay socket for just a plug-in relay.
  • the contact pieces 49b as shown in dashed lines, can be replaced by contact pieces 49d (FIG. 11a).
  • the contact pieces 49d have contact forks 51 and 53.
  • the contact forks 53 of the contact pieces 49d can then be used to connect a component, e.g. a capacitor, which finds space in the recess 55 (Fig. 5).
