Definitions

  • the invention relates to a socket box with an elongated housing made of plastic, formed from a lower part and a detachably connected, hood-shaped upper part, in which several sockets are arranged in series, and on the lower part at a parallel distance from one another in the longitudinal direction of the boxes, two current conductors and an intermediate earth conductor in flat strip form and each socket is electrically contacted with its two contact sockets and with its earthing bracket with the current conductors and the earth conductor, and the sockets with their pair of contact sockets are optionally used lengthways, crossways or diagonally to the longitudinal direction of the boxes.
  • Such a socket box is known from DE 39 02 124 C 2, AT-PS 374 977 and AT-PS 308 877.
  • a problem with these socket boxes is the contact between the sockets of the sockets and the power lines arranged in the housing for the mains voltage.
  • the socket box is formed by an elongated plastic housing with a lower part and a hood-shaped upper part releasably connected to it.
  • Several sockets are arranged in this housing.
  • On the lower part there are two current conductors and a ground conductor running between them in flat strip form at a parallel distance from one another.
  • Each socket has an earthing clip with a central earth contact and two diagonally opposite contact lugs connected to the sockets of the socket.
  • These contact lugs are formed by tongues enclosing slots in the current conductors under a press fit or are designed as tabs fastened to the current conductors by rivets, screws, welding (spot welding), as a result of which a reliable and durable electrical contact has been achieved.
  • the strip-shaped current conductors with the contact sockets and the strip-shaped earth conductor with its earthing clip can be inserted and fixed in the box as pre-assembled components.
  • the current conductors with contact sockets and the earth conductor with earthing brackets are to be arranged between, on or under insulating bodies in one or two parts in an electrically insulated manner.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide the current conductor and the earth conductor with connecting contacts which can be produced in a simple and inexpensive manner and can be contacted safely and correctly with plug connectors or plug pins.
  • the current conductor and the earth conductor are made in one piece from metal in the form of flat strips and have connection contacts for plug connectors or plug pins on their two length ends. These contacts are integrally formed on the conductor rails and designed as a plug and / or socket.
  • the plug and socket of the connection contacts are cylindrical in shape from flat metal material and are designed to be radially resilient due to slitting.
  • the conductor rails with the connecting contacts can be produced cost-effectively using the stamping and bending process.
  • the end-side connection contacts with plug-in or plug-in pins are also arranged in an electrically insulated one or two-part insulating body.
  • the socket box has an elongated housing made of plastic, which is formed by a lower part (1) and a hood-shaped upper part (2) releasably connected to it.
  • One or more sockets (3) are arranged in this housing (1, 2).
  • On the lower part (1) there are two current conductors (SL) and a ground conductor (EL) running between them, each in the form of flat strips.
  • Each socket (3) has an insulating housing (9) with a grounding bracket (10) and a central grounding contact (4) and two opposing contact sockets (5) with sockets (5a) for plug pins.
  • the contact sockets (5) are electrically contacted with contact tabs (6) in axially non-rotatable positions with the current conductors (SL).
  • the slots (7) preferably have an elongated hole shape.
  • the tongues (8) are preferably fork-like and resilient transverse to the direction of insertion.
  • the tongues (8) have a keyhole-like recess (8a) that is open on the insertion side.
  • the tongues (8) each have a bevelled and / or curved insertion edge (8b) on both sides of the recess (8a).
  • the slots (7) can also have an arcuate shape, the tongues (8) being correspondingly curved.
  • the tongues (8) are angled parts of the contact tabs (6).
  • Each current conductor (SL) contains several, preferably three slots (7) for each socket (3) for different, axially rotated installation positions of the sockets (3). These slots (7) are arranged in pairs for each socket (3) in parallel opposite each other in the current conductors (SL) so that each socket (3) can be installed in preferably three different, axially rotated positions.
  • the sockets (5a) are preferably arranged in the longitudinal direction of the lower part (1), transversely to the longitudinal direction or at an angle of 45 ° thereto.
  • the tongues (8) are integrally formed on the contact sockets (5) made of metal and inserted through the insulating housing (9) made of plastic or ceramic.
  • the earthing brackets (10), which are arranged in the insulating housing (9) of the socket (3), are firmly connected to the earth conductor (EL) by their earthing contacts (4), preferably via a crimp socket (11).
  • the socket (3) is axially rotatably connected to the earth conductor (EL).
  • the current conductors (SL) are loosely inserted in holding pockets (12) of the lower part (1).
  • each contact socket (5) is attached with its molded contact lug (6) to the current conductors (SL) by riveting, screwing or welding (spot welding).
  • the contact tab (6) as a rivet, screw or welding tab is at right angles to the direction of insertion of the contact socket (socket 5a) and is integrally formed on the contact socket (5).
  • both current conductors (SL) for each contact socket (5) each have several, preferably three molded rivet domes (14) for different, axially rotated installation positions of the sockets (3) and each contact lug (6) is included a hole (6a) over a rivet dome (14) and riveted by flanging the rivet dome (14) with the current conductor (SL) (Fig. 7 to 10).
  • One or more connecting lugs (15) for flat receptacles (16) with electrical cables (17) for connecting electrical devices, such as switches, connectors or the like, are integrally formed on each current conductor (SL), as shown in FIG. 7 to 12.
  • the two current conductors (SL) are with their contact socket (5), and the earth conductor (EL) is arranged in the area of each socket (3) in a one-piece or two-piece insulating body (18) in an electrically insulated manner. 11, 12, 28 and the two current conductors (SL) with their contact socket (5) are covered by a base (18a) of the two-part insulating body (18) and the earth conductor (EL) lies in a groove (19) on a two aligned with the Contact sockets (5) whose sockets 5a have arranged through-holes (20) on the base plate (18b).
