Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement for connecting an electrical consumer to an electrical supply line laid in a room with at least two insulated electrical conductors which run parallel to one another and lie in one plane and are embedded in a common jacket made of insulating material, which consists of a lower part and a lower part Has upper part existing coupling element made of plastic, which can be fixed at any point on the supply line on the same, in which the lower part is attached to the supply line in the mounting position, in which the upper part is detachably but immovably connected to the lower part when the coupling element is mounted, at which the Head of an electrical connection line connected to the consumer protrude into the upper part and in which an electrically conductive connection between a respective conductor of the ver supply line and a conductor of the connecting line is produced, the contact parts of the coupling element contacting the conductor of the supply line penetrating the sheathing and insulation (EP 0 817 315 A1).
  • connection point For example, in ballrooms, lecture halls or passenger ships, electrical supply lines are installed on walls or ceilings of rooms to which electrical consumers, such as lamps, equipped with connecting lines can be connected. This usually requires a considerable amount of assembly work, since the supply line conductors are exposed at the connection point provided and the conductors of a respective connection line are exposed to the Supply line conductors must be connected. Finally, the connection point must be isolated.
  • This effort is reduced with the known arrangement according to EP 0 817 315 A1 mentioned at the beginning.
  • This arrangement has a coupling element to be fastened to the supply line and consisting of an upper part and a lower part.
  • a circuit board is arranged between the upper part and the lower part and is equipped with contact parts which protrude on both sides and are designed as piercing contacts on both sides.
  • the contact parts make contact with mutually assigned conductors of the supply line on the one hand and a connecting line leading to a lamp on the other hand. The conductors of both lines do not need to be stripped in this arrangement.
  • the coupling element when the coupling element is to be installed on site, the insulated conductors of the connecting line must first be inserted into grooves in the upper part. Only then can the upper part and lower part, including the circuit board to be attached separately between the two parts, be joined to the contact parts. The assembly effort is therefore still relatively high in this arrangement.
  • the invention has for its object to design the arrangement described above so that a consumer can be connected to the supply line in a simple manner and without additional assembly work.
  • the contact parts are integrated in the upper part of the coupling element by means of prefabrication.
  • the end of the connecting line is assembled in this way.
  • the one-piece handle body of the upper part encloses both the end the connecting line and the connection points between their conductors and the contact parts.
  • the contact parts protruding from the handle body are thus integrated in the upper part of the coupling element. They are moved and positioned together with the same. After joining only two parts, the upper part and the lower part, the coupling element is attached to the supply line without any additional assembly work. The conductive connection between the conductors of the two lines is thus established in a simple manner.
  • the upper part of the coupling element has at one end a protruding projection, with which it is inserted into a recess of the lower part attached to the line when the coupling element is assembled. Then the upper part only needs to be folded around the projection as a pivot point in the direction of the lower part. It is firmly but releasably connected in the assembly position by the projection on the one hand and by resiliently engaging elements of the lower part engaging in the region of its end facing away from it.
  • the electrical supply line 1 indicated schematically in FIG. 1 is laid, for example, on a wall or ceiling of a room. It is designed as a flat cable and has, for example, three insulated conductors 2, 3 and 4 (FIGS. 5, 6 and 7) which are in parallel are attached to each other in a common jacket 5.
  • the insulated conductors 2, 3 and 4 are preferably arranged at a distance from one another in the supply line 1.
  • two coupling elements K made of plastic are attached to the supply line 1.
  • a coupling element K includes an upper part 8 and a lower part 9, which are firmly but releasably connected to one another in the assembly position.
  • the upper part 8 consists, for example, of polyurethane and the lower part 9, for example of polyester.
  • the lower part 9 is an essentially trough-shaped, elongated support with a receiving space, the dimensions of which are adapted to the dimensions of the supply line 1. It has two side walls 10 and 11 delimiting the receiving space and two elastically bendable hooks 12 at both axial ends, which are each bent towards one another in the idle state. When the lower part 9 is mounted, they reach over the supply line 1 and hold the lower part 9 on the same. Elastic bendable locking elements 13 are also attached to the lower part 9.
  • locking elements 13 which are assigned to one another in pairs (FIG. 4) and are preferably molded onto the same at the edges of the lower part 8 at the level of the side walls 10 and 11.
  • outwardly angled depressions 14 are also provided (FIG. 3).
  • the upper part 8 of the coupling element K is a handle body produced by injection molding. It encloses the end of the connecting line 6 and the connection points between the conductors 15 and the contact parts 16 connected to the same in a moisture-tight manner.
  • the contact parts 16 are fixed in a common, plate-shaped carrier 17 made of mechanically strong insulating material, such as, for example, glass fiber-reinforced polyester.
  • the connecting line 6, like the supply line 1, has, for example, three insulated conductors 15. The ends of the conductors 15 are stripped and firmly and electrically connected to the contact parts 16, for example by crimping, soldering or welding.
  • the contact parts 16 are piercing elements equipped with tips. They protrude with their tips from a contact surface of the upper part 8 out.
  • the contact parts 16 in the upper part 8 of the coupling element K are preferably offset from one another in the axial direction, as is indicated in FIG. 4. Their positions are indicated by dashed lines 18, 19 and 20.
  • the conductors 15 of the connecting line 6 accordingly have 8 different lengths in the upper part.
  • the lower part 9 of the coupling element K can be produced fully automatically by injection molding.
  • the end of the connecting line 6 is stripped and the ends of the conductors 15 thus exposed are cut to length and stripped.
  • the contact parts 16 are electrically conductively connected to the conductors 15.
  • the handle body of the upper part 8 is then produced by injection molding. It encloses the end of the connecting line 6 in a non-stripped area and the connection points between conductors 15 and contact parts 16 are moisture-tight. At one end of the handle body, an outwardly protruding projection 21 is produced during injection molding.
  • a coupling element K is attached to the supply line 1, for example, as follows:
  • the prefabricated lower part 9 is attached to the supply line 1 at any point in its course. It holds itself on the supply line 1 with its hooks 12.
  • the prefabricated upper part 8 is then inserted with its projection 21 into the depressions 14 of the lower part 9 and pivoted towards the supply line 1 with the projection 21 as a "pivot point".
  • the contact parts 16 penetrate the jacket 5 of the supply line 1 and penetrate into the conductor 15 of the connecting line 6, which is preferably designed as a stranded conductor.
  • the locking elements 13 of the lower part 9 engage over corresponding surfaces 22 of the upper part 8 and engage in this position.
  • Upper part 8 and lower part 9 of the coupling element K are then connected to one another. The electrically conductive connection between the conductors of supply line 1 on the one hand and connecting line 6 on the other hand is established.
  • a circumferential seal 23 can also be provided in the contact surface of the upper part 8, according to FIG. for example, an O-ring, which surrounds the contact parts 16 of the upper part 8 all around.
  • the seal 23 is pressed against the supply line 1 in the mounting position of the coupling element K.
  • Upper part 8 and seal 23 can be made in one piece.
  • a suitable material for such a unit is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
