Definitions

  • the invention relates to a terminal block with an electronic and mechanically pluggable electronic module and a separator attached to the electronic module in the electrically conductive connection between the terminal block and the electronic module.
  • a terminal block of this type (DE 41 21 836 C2)
  • the isolating device is located in the upper area of the module.
  • busbar sections in the electronics module must be routed upwards and removed again from there. It is a fairly complex disconnection point to be created for this separation function only, and special plug connections for test plugs in the housing of the electronics module leading to the separation point are to be created in the configuration there.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing such a terminal block which enables the disconnection and testing function with the least possible construction effort and little space requirement.
  • the solution according to the invention essentially consists in that the separating device is a separating piece which contains the electrical plug connectors of the electronic module for the electrical connection to the terminal block and test plug connections and which is held in the plug-in connection zone of the electronic module on the latter between a closed and a disconnected position. Because the separating device is now in the plug-in connection zone of the electronic module, separate busbars and the like leading to a separating point are no longer required, all the more so since this separating piece also serves as a connector function for the electronic module and also allows the test plug to be plugged in to test the electronics in the module. When the electronics module is plugged in, the separator in its closed position thus ensures the electrical plug connection at this point between the electronics module and the terminal block.
  • the electrical connection to the terminal block is interrupted at this point and the desired test of the electronics in the module can then be carried out by inserting the test plug into the separator.
  • the separator sticks to the electronics module because it is held on it.
  • a blocking device which acts between the separator and the housing of the electronic module and which can be actuated in the disconnected position of the separator by inserting the test plug. This reliably ensures that the separating piece is not pushed back into the closed position by inserting the test plug for test purposes.
  • the separating piece extends at least with a partial area on a lower outer wall area of the electronic module in its height direction and carries the plug connectors of the electronic module in the lower end area facing the terminal block.
  • the connectors in the terminal block, relative to the electronics module are placed relatively far outwards so that the connectors can interact.
  • test plug connections are located in the above-mentioned partial area of the separating piece in the upper side thereof.
  • the separator can also be designed as a handle. This allows a sufficient distance to the wiring level of the terminal block to be achieved so that the separator remains clearly visible and easy to handle, and the test plug can also be inserted into the separator with ease of handling, especially since the latter is in the upper disconnected position.
  • the terminal block 1 shown in a side view in FIG. 1 is usually formed from a plurality of connected connecting disks 2 which are arranged side by side and which, as seen in FIG.
  • Each of the connecting disks 2 carries in an electrically insulating plastic housing 3 connections 4 for connecting electrical conductors, which in the exemplary embodiment shown are connected to plug connections 6 via conductor rail pieces 5.
  • An electronic module 7 is also provided, which can be plugged in electrically and mechanically with the terminal block 1, formed by the connecting disks 2.
  • the mechanical connection takes place in the usual way by inserting correspondingly designed housing areas of the housing 8 of the electronics module 7 into a corresponding receiving recess in the terminal block 2, which are lined up by the Plastic housing 3 of the connecting plate 2 is formed.
  • the plug connection is appropriately mechanically locked.
  • a disconnecting device is also provided in the electrical connection between the electronics module 7 and the terminal block 2.
  • this separating device is a separating piece 9, in which there are both the plug connectors 10 for insertion into the plug connections 6 of the terminal block 1 and thus for the electrical connection between the terminal block 1 and the electronics module 7, and also test plug connections 11 for inserting a test plug 12.
  • the separator 9 is held captively between the closed position and the disconnected position on the electronics module 7.
  • the separators are provided directly in the connector zone of the electronics module 7. They have a housing 13 which surrounds the lower edge of the housing 8 of the electronic module 7 and therefore has a section 14 which is inner-walled with respect to the electronic module housing 8 and an outer-walled section 15 which extends in the vertical direction of the electronic module 7.
  • the outer section 15 contains in its lower end region the plug connectors 10, which cooperate with the corresponding plug connections 6 of the connecting disks 2 of the terminal block 1. In the upper end area of this section 15, the test plug connections 11 are open at the top.
  • the plug connections 6 of the terminal block 1 are located on the outside with respect to this electronics module 7. This means that this terminal block 1 can also be equipped with other electronic modules without a separator if necessary. These electronic modules would then be so wide that plug connections or the correspondingly configured ends of functional printed circuit boards can be plugged directly into the plug connections 6. There is also the possibility of using an electronic module which carries a separator 9 on only one side, while the other side then compared to the illustrated embodiment is correspondingly widened and set up for direct electrical contacting of the plug connections 6 there.
  • the plug connectors 10 arranged in the separating piece 9 contain a downward-pointing plug lug 16 directed towards the plug connection 6, which is located on a busbar piece 17 from which a contact lug 18 for contacting the pin of the test plug 12 goes off , and from which a further conductor rail piece 19 extends downward, which extends into the section 14 of the separating piece 9 which is inner-walled with respect to the electronic module 7 and here can directly contact the correspondingly designed end of a functional printed circuit board 20 inside the electronic module in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • a sliding contact configuration is provided between the closed position and the separated position.
  • the captive, releasable mounting of the separator 9 on the lower outer wall area of the housing 8 of the electronic module 7 is achieved in that the wall sections 14 and 15 of the housing 13 of the separator 9 define between them a guide gap 21 into which the lower outer wall area of the housing 8 of the electronics module 7 occurs, so that the separator 9 on the housing 8 can move up and down.
  • recesses 22 and 23 are provided at a height from each other.
  • the inner-walled section 14 of the separator housing 13 has latching hooks 24, while to cooperate with the lower latching recess 23, the outer-walled section 15 of the separator housing 13 has latching hooks 25.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show the right separator 9 seen in the drawing in its separation position.
  • the latching hooks 24 and 25 are located in the latching recesses 22 and 23.
  • the electrical connection between the electronics module 7 and the terminal block 2 is separated, since the plug-in tabs 16 of the separating piece 9 are pulled up out of the plug-in connections 6.
  • the separating piece 9 essentially has a depth extension corresponding to the terminal block 1 and as many electrical connectors 10 are arranged in it as there are plug connections 6 for the electrical contact between the electrical module 7 and the terminal block 1.
  • a special blocking device is additionally provided.
  • This consists essentially of angular springs 26 formed on the housing 13 of the separating piece 9 in the exemplary embodiment shown, which lower legs can enter into a further recess 27 provided for this purpose in the corresponding wall section of the housing 8 of the electronic module 7.
  • the arrangement is such that the spring piece 26 in the rest position on its side facing away from the electronics housing 7 projects so far into the test plug connection 11 that the pin of the test plug 12 automatically pushes the spring piece 26 into the blocking position when it is inserted.
  • the separating piece 9 In the closed position of the separating piece 9 illustrated on the left in FIG. 1, the separating piece 9 is pressed so far down that the plug lugs 16 of the electrical plug connectors 10 of the separating piece 9 are in the inserted contact position with the plug connections for the electrical connection of the connecting block 1 to the electronic module 7 6 are located.
  • the latching hooks 24 are now located on the inner section 14 of the separator housing 13 in the lower latching recesses 24 of the wall of the housing 8 of the electronic module 7.
  • the latching hooks 25 of the outer-walled section 15 lie outside below the housing 8.
  • the separators 9 remain on the electronics module regardless of their respective position.
  • the outer-walled section 15 of the housing 13 of the separating piece 9 expediently extends upwards so long that the upper end is still clearly visible and manageable above the wiring level of the connection block 1 even in the closed position of the separating piece 9, and that there is also the possibility of providing a space-saving and space-tight space next to the separating piece 9 (see left side of FIG. 1) a cross connector comb 28 which enables transverse potential distribution by contacting the adjacent conductor rail pieces 5 in the connecting disks 2 of the terminal block 1.
  • the housing 13 of the separating piece 9 is also expediently provided on the upper side with a bracket or hook piece 29 which is used to handle the separating piece 9, for example with the aid of a screwdriver.
  • the vertical extent of the housing 13 also ensures the good visibility and accessibility of this upper end of the separator for the purpose of actuation and, in the upper disconnected position of the separator 9, an easy-to-use, optically clearly visible plug-in option for the test plug 12, which is clearly above the wiring level of the terminal block 1 applies even if, in addition to testing the electronics, a field device test also takes place and, in addition to the test plugs 12 for the electronic test, also spatially offset laterally outwards in corresponding plug connections 30 of the connecting washers 2 of the terminal block 1, test plugs 31 are inserted.
