Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Isolation-penetrating connecting devices are known from the prior art, which have a cutting and contact spring with two resilient contact limbs which delimit a contact slot, wherein a U-shaped over or force spring surrounds the two legs.
  • a cutting and contact spring with two resilient contact limbs which delimit a contact slot, wherein a U-shaped over or force spring surrounds the two legs.
  • Such a solution is shown for example in DE 197 32 182 C1. It is also known to introduce the conductor in such a connection device by means of an actuating element, in particular a slide element.
  • connection devices in which more than one conductor is to be contacted in the conductor insertion direction.
  • Such connecting devices should, in particular for terminal blocks, but also electrical devices of other types such as contactors or the like. be suitable.
  • a terminal device according to the preamble of claim 1 is shown in EP-A1-1 191 634.
  • the invention achieves the object by the subject matter of claim 1.
  • FIGS 4a-c, 5a and 5b, and 6a and 6b show no embodiments of the invention, but examples which are intended to facilitate the understanding of the invention.
  • connection device 1 shows metal parts of a connection device 1 with here two individual terminals 1a and 1b for connecting non-insulated conductor ends of conductors 2, which have one or more conductor core (s) 3 and a conductor insulation 4 surrounding the conductor core (s) 3.
  • the individual terminals 1a and 1b each have a cutting and contact spring 5, which consist of two metal legs 6, 7, between which a contact slot 8 is formed and which are either in a plane or slightly angled to each other.
  • the legs 6, 7 open like a mouth. Cutting edges 9 in the mouth region 10 allow cutting the conductor insulation 4 when inserting the conductor 2 in the contact slot 8.
  • the legs 6, 7 are formed here as the free ends of a common bus bar 12, which extends behind the over-spring 11 in the housing down.
  • the two bus bars 12 of the individual terminals 1a, 1b can be placed anywhere, e.g. stapled under the over springs.
  • a double connection for two conductors 2 is realized in that two of the connection devices 1a, 1, b are arranged directly one behind the other, in such a way that the slots 8 of the two individual connections 1a and 1b are aligned with one another so that a conductor 2 can be guided through the first individual connection 1a into the second individual connection 1b.
  • the free ends of the legs 6, 7 of the rear individual connection 1 b in the direction of conductor insertion X are in their mouth region 10 on the rear ends of the legs 6, 7 of the first or front individual connection 1 a.
  • the conductor insulation 4 of a conductor which was first cut through during insertion into the first connection device, further widened and / or severed once again.
  • the overlap also precludes the conductor 2 from slipping out of the double connection when passing on the legs 6, 7 of the rear connection device.
  • Another advantage of the arrangement with two with respect to the metal parts from each other largely separate individual terminals 1a, 1b is the ability to easily contact conductors 2 different diameters in the two individual terminals 1a, 1b, since each of the two conductors 2 independently of the other conductor. 2 is wired.
  • the cutting and contact springs 5 do not overlap, the required installation space length is also particularly significantly reduced again in an advantageous manner.
  • Fig. 1 The principle of Fig. 1 can theoretically be extended to three or even more individual connections.
  • Fig. 1 and 3a overlap the two cutting and contact springs 5 in the conductor insertion (X) successively arranged individual terminals 1a, 1b so partially that a conductor perpendicular to the conductor insertion direction theoretically also directly from above into the mouth region 10 in the region of the rear cutting - And contact spring 5 is feasible.
  • the first cutting and contact springs 5 extend through the rear over-spring 11 of the rear individual connection 1. In this case, it has - in order not to hinder the contacting of the second conductor - in the contact region of the rear in autismeintechnology X cutting and contact device 1 side recesses 19 in the legs 6, 7 of the cutting and contact spring 5.
  • a actuator 14 For switching on and off is used according to Fig. 3 (or Fig. 1 and 2) preferably an actuator 14.
  • the preferred actuator 14 is formed here as a slide element, which in a corresponding space of an electrical device, in particular a terminal or the like. Slidably is guided.
  • It has either an elongated conductor insertion opening (not shown here) designed for receiving two conductors or two conductor insertion openings 15, 16 which are aligned with one another in the conductor insertion direction x.
  • It also preferably has on one or both sides of a pin or web 21 which is designed to engage in a corresponding recess of the connecting device receiving insulating housing and which serves to secure the displaceability of the actuating element on the insulating material.
  • the conductor insertion openings 15, 16 extend beyond the plane (s) of the cutting and contact springs 5, in whose height the actuating element 14 also has a corresponding slot 17, with which it can be guided via the cutting and contact springs 5.
  • the conductor insertion openings 15, 16 can be adapted to the geometry of the metal parts, ie, they can either be spaced such that the individual conductors directly into the mouth areas of two individual terminals - whether they overlap each other slightly more or less (Fig. 2, 3a ) or not (Fig. 3b) - or together in front of the front single connection of two individual terminals 1a, 1b are feasible.
  • the individual terminals 1a and 1b or the multiple connection form with the actuating element 14 designed as a double terminal connecting device 1.
  • Fig. 4 shows an example in which a longer cutting and contact spring 5 is used, in which two conductors 2 are inserted one behind the other.
  • the correspondingly longer over-spring 11 also has additional lateral slots 22 in order to separate as far as possible from each other the spring action of the over-spring on the two conductors 2 in the two areas provided for contacting the conductors 2.
  • a longer over-spring 11 with slot and two shorter over springs 11 could be arranged on the cutting and contact spring (not shown here).
  • the legs 6, 7 do not necessarily have to run parallel to each other in the region of the slots 8 between them. By appropriate design, however, a tapering in the insertion direction (see FIG. 4c) or u.U. widening wedge are formed, which facilitates the contacting of conductors with different diameters.
  • Fig. 5 differs from the previous applications in that the metal parts of two individual terminals 1a, 1b, although aligned with each other but are arranged to each other with a significant height offset. Nevertheless, only one actuating element 14 is provided which, by virtue of its step-like design with two step-like stepped lead-in openings 15, 16, takes this changed arrangement into account. Again, there is the advantage of the possibility of a simple circuit with two conductors with only one movement of a screwdriver or the like. And a compact insertion in the design. The space requirement compared to a design with two actuators is reduced.
  • the actuating elements 14 with the conductors 2 can be moved, for example, to lugs or by means supported on abutments in a parent housing tools such as screwdrivers (not shown here).
  • FIG. 6 shows metal parts of a further connection device 10 for the insulation-penetrating connection of two conductors 102, which have one or more line conductors 103 and a conductor insulation 104 surrounding the line conductor (s) 103.
  • the connecting device has a double cutting and contact spring 107 for connecting two conductors 102, which consists of three parallel to each other and in a plane or substantially in a plane adjacent legs 105, 106, 107.
  • a contact slot 108, 109 is respectively formed on both sides of the middle leg 106, ie there is a first contact slot 108 between the left leg 105 and the middle leg 106 in FIG. 6a and a second contact slot 109 between the right leg 107 in FIG. 6a and the middle leg 106.
  • the three legs 105, 106, 107 may be formed as free ends of a higher-level busbar 110, which is provided at its free end with the contact slots 108, 109.
  • the busbar 110 may be bent in side view L, U (FIG. 6a) or Z-shaped.
  • the legs 105, 106, 107 open like a mouth, so that on the one hand a first mouth region 111 in front of the first contact slot 108 and on the other hand, a second mouth region 112 is formed in front of the second contact slot 109.
  • the legs 105, 106, 107 are provided with cutting edges 113 for penetrating the conductor insulation.
  • the middle leg 106 in this case has at its free end a tapered shape, as it defines in a double function on both sides in each case one of the mouth regions 111, 102 and there severed the conductor insulation.
  • the mouth areas can be arranged offset in the conductor insertion direction X, as seen in Figure 6, to each other. It is also conceivable that the conductors 102 in the inserted state are also arranged offset in relation to one another in the double cutting and contact spring 117 in order to further reduce the required installation space width in the connected state (see also FIG. 6b).
  • An over-spring 115 which is here U-shaped and whose ends are attached to the outer legs 105, 107 in recesses 114 thereof, increases the contact force on both conductors. 2
  • outer legs 105, 107 may also be connected to one another like a pipe-contact, although the arrangement of FIG. 1 with over-spring 115 is preferred.
  • actuating element 118 For switching on and switching off Fig. 7 is preferably an actuating element 118.
  • the preferred actuating element is designed as a slide element, which is guided in a corresponding free space of an electrical device, in particular a terminal or the like. Slidably. It has either an elongate conductor insertion opening (not shown here) designed for receiving two conductors or two or more conductor insertion openings 119, 120 (corresponding to FIG. 6) arranged laterally next to one another in relation to the conductor insertion direction. Lateral webs 121 serve to guide in a superordinate housing of a connection terminal (not shown here).
  • the free space 122 serves to receive the legs 105, 106, 107. The free end of the ladder lays in each case against a lower stop 123.
  • the actuating element 118 is preferably one or more preferably open on both sides, so that it builds very narrow.
