Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conductor rail, in particular a box grinding line, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for connecting conductor strips of adjacent sections of a conductor rail and the use of a clamping connector for connecting conductor strips of adjacent sections of a conductor rail.
  • a contact line according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the company brochure of Wampfler AG "box grinding lines program 0842".
  • the slip line sections of the box grinding line described therein may be interconnected in various ways.
  • One possibility of the connection is to bend the conductor strips extending in the housing of the box-type grinding line at their end outwards by 90 °.
  • the outwardly bent ends of the conductor bands of adjacent conductor rail sections can then be electrically and mechanically interconnected with an angle clamp connector which can be clamped or threaded over the transversely projecting and joined ends of the conductor strips of adjacent conductor rail sections.
  • the invention is based on the object to improve a generic conductor rail so that a simple, manually feasible connection of Schleifwerksteil Wunschen using as few components and while maintaining a high level of system security is possible. Furthermore, the transport of the still unmounted Schleif effetsteileriee should be simplified. The contact point at which the conductor strips are connected by neighboring Schleif effetsteilmaschinee with each other should be as vibration resistant and good electrical conductivity.
  • the box grinding line shown in a perspective view consists of a plurality of conductor rail sections 1a, 1b, which are electrically and mechanically connected to one another at their ends.
  • the box grinding line comprises a box-shaped housing 2 of an electrically insulating material, usually plastic, and one or more in the housing extending conductor strips 4, 4 ', 6, 6', made of an electrically conductive material, such as copper tape.
  • the conductor rail according to the invention comprises two conductor strips, wherein in the slip line section 1a extending conductor strips with the reference numbers 4 and 4 'and in the slip line section 1a extending conductor strips with the reference numerals 6 and 6' are marked.
  • FIG. 2a a clamp connector 3 produced from an electrically conductive material is shown in a front view ( FIG. 2a above).
  • the contact point of the conductor strips 4 and 6 of the conductor rail sections 1a and 1b is shown in a side view ( FIG. 2a below).
  • the in FIG. 2a Clamping connector 3 shown above consists of two wings 7, 8 and a deformation area 9 arranged between the two wings.
  • the deformation area 9 can be formed of a material which deforms more easily or can be made of the same material as the two wings 7, 8, but thinner. However, the wings 7, 8 and the deformation region 9 can also from the same and the same thickness material be formed.
  • the deformation region 9 is delimited by folds or bending lines of the wings 7, 8.
  • the clamping connector 3 is shown in a perspective view and it can be seen that the deformation region 9 is bent upwards relative to the wings 7, 8 and protrudes from the plane of the wings 7, 8.
  • the clamping connector 3 For connecting the ends of the conductor strips 4, 6 and 4 ', 6' of adjacent sliding line sections 1a, 1b, the clamping connector 3 is first as in FIG. 2b shown with a wing 7 pushed over a bent end of a conduction band 4.
  • the wing 7 of the clamp connector 3 can embrace the end of the conductor strip 4 are provided on the inside of the clamp connector 3 on each wing 7, 8 Umgreiflaschen 10.
  • the clamping connector 3 can thus be pushed over the end of a conductor strip 4 and the Umgreiflaschen 10 enclose the end of the conductor strip 4 and provide a clamping connection to the conductor strip 4 ago.
  • the clamp connector 3 is first slightly pulled in the longitudinal direction of the adjacent slip line section 1b and the second wing 8, which also has a Umgreiflasche 10 is pushed over the bent-out end of the corresponding conductor strip 6. Due to the flexibility and the resilient properties, in particular of the deformation region 9 of the clamp connector 3, this pulls back into its original shape.
  • FIG. 1b the contact point of the two sliding line sections 1a and 1b is shown at this stage of the method according to the invention.
  • the clamping connector 3 is compressed in the deformation region 9 by means of a pliers or other deformation tool, as in Figure 1c shown.
  • the clamping connector 3 contracts in its longitudinal direction and presses the inserted in its wings 7, 8 ends of the conductor strips 4, 6 and 4 ', 6' to each other. Due to the outwardly tapered ends of the conductor strips 4, 6 and 4 ', 6' of the clamping connector 3 is further pushed in compressing the deformation region 9 in the ends of the conductor strips 4, 6 and 4 ', 6'.
  • the shape of the wings 7, 8 of the terminal connector 3 is adapted to the shape of the ends of the conductor strips 4, 6, so that when compressing the deformation region of the terminal connector 3 at the same time, the conductor strips 4, 6 and 4 ', 6' in the region of their bending frontally to form a contact surface 5 are pressed against each other.
  • Figure 1d is the contact point of the sliding line sections 1a, 1b with each other through the clamp connector 3 pressed conductor strips 4, 6 and 4 ', 6' shown.
  • Figure 2c shows this contact point with the contact surface 5 in a side view seen from the inside.
  • connection according to the invention of the conductor strips of adjacent conductor rail sections ensures an electrically good conductive connection of the conductor strips under a defined clamping and contact force.
  • the handling of the terminal connector is very simple and there are only a few components, namely only the terminal connector 3, needed to make the connection.
  • the assembly is possible with the aid of a clamping tool with one hand.
  • the transport of the still unmounted sliding line sections 1a, 1b is unproblematic, since the ends of the conductor strips are not at right angles to the outside of the housing as in the prior art, but are bent by 180 °.
  • the clamp connector also allows easy disassembly of the sliding line sections, since the compressed clamp connector can be pulled apart again without problems and withdrawn from the bent ends of the conductor strips.
