Beschreibung description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Steckverbindung zur Aufnahme eines starren Leiterendes.  The present invention relates to a connector for receiving a rigid conductor end.

Anschlussklemmen dienen insbesondere in der Elektrotechnik dem lösbaren Anschluss oder der Verbindung von Drähten, Adern oder Leitungen. Im angeklemmten Zustand soll ein dauerhafter, sicherer Kontakt gewährleistet sein. Das wird durch mechanische Fixierung (beispielsweise durch Schraube oder Feder) der angeschlossenen Leiter in einem leitfähigen Körper erreicht. Terminals are used in particular in electrical engineering for releasable connection or the connection of wires, wires or cables. In the clamped state, a permanent, secure contact should be ensured. This is achieved by mechanical fixation (for example by screw or spring) of the connected conductors in a conductive body.

Es sind viele Arten von Anschlussklemmen bekannt. Es sind zudem verschiedene Arten von Federanschlüssen bekannt, hier insbesondere Schenkelfederanschlüsse. Diese Anschlüsse haben im Allgemeinen einen Bestandteil das den Strom überträgt und eine dazu wirkende Feder. There are many types of terminals known. There are also known various types of spring connections, in particular leg spring connections. These connections generally have a component that transmits the current and a spring acting thereon.

Allerdings haben diese Klemmstellen unterhalb oder oberhalb der vorstehenden Kante die Kontaktwand fortgeführt, was zu Folge hat, dass sich die Federkraft zwischen mindestens zwei Kontaktpunkten befindet und sich die Kontaktkraft aufteilt. Bekannt sind auch Klemmstellen mit einem However, these clamping points have continued below or above the protruding edge of the contact wall, with the result that the spring force is between at least two contact points and divides the contact force.

Nachteilig an den bekannten Anschlussklemmen ist, dass eine möglichst hohe Federkraft benötigt wird, um einen sicheren Klemmverschluss bereitzustellen. Je höher die Federkraft ist, desto schwieriger wird es allerdings, den Leiter in den Klemmverschluss einzustecken. A disadvantage of the known terminals is that the highest possible spring force is needed to provide a secure clamp closure. However, the higher the spring force, the harder it is to plug the conductor into the clamp.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine It is therefore an object of the present invention

Provide connector for receiving a rigid conductor end, which allows a secure locking and secure electrical contact of the inserted conductor end, the insertion of the conductor end should be as easy as possible.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Steckverbindung zur Aufnahme eines starren Leiterendes gemäß beigefügtem Anspruch 1 gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Steckverbindung umfasst einen Anschlag zum Arretieren des Leiterendes in der Steckverbindung. Ein Federelement ist erfindungsgemäß dazu vorgesehen, das in die Steckverbindung aufgenommene The object is achieved by a plug connection for receiving a rigid conductor end according to appended claim 1. The connector according to the invention comprises a stop for locking the conductor end in the Plug connection. A spring element is provided according to the invention, the recorded in the connector

The connector comprises a tilting element for

By means of the tilting element, the bearing force with which the

Leiterende gegen den Anschlag drückt, geeignet definiert werden. Dazu wird das Hebelgesetz verwendet. Mit einer relativ geringen Rückstellkraft durch das Federelement kann eine hohe Auflagekraft gegen den Anschlag erzeugt werden. Damit wird der Kraftschluss zwischen Leiterende und  Head end presses against the stop, be defined appropriately. For this the lever law is used. With a relatively low restoring force by the spring element, a high contact force against the stop can be generated. Thus, the adhesion between the conductor end and

Leader end are solved by rotation against the spring element to facilitate removal or insertion of the conductor end. The tilt axis is transverse to the axial direction of the conductor end.

Vorzugsweise ist ein Abstand zwischen dem Anschlag und der Kippachse kleiner als ein Abstand zwischen der Kippachse und einem Angriffspunkt der Federkraft auf das Leiterende. Der Abstand zwischen Angriffspunkt des Federelements entspricht der Hebellänge des Federelements. Je länger dieser Hebel ist im Vergleich zum Hebel des Anschlags, desto größer ist der Kraftunterschied - im Gleichgewicht senkrecht zur Kippachse - zwischen der Rückstellkraft der Feder und der Anschlagskraft, so dass im arretierten Preferably, a distance between the stop and the tilting axis is smaller than a distance between the tilting axis and a point of application of the spring force on the conductor end. The distance between the point of application of the spring element corresponds to the lever length of the spring element. The longer this lever is compared to the lever of the stop, the greater the difference in force - in equilibrium perpendicular to the tilt axis - between the restoring force of the spring and the stop force, so that locked in the

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung sieht eine Stromschiene zum Weiterleiten von elektrischem Strom durch das Leiterende vor. Der Anschlag bildet im arretierten Zustand einen elektrischen Kontakt zwischen dem aufgenommenen Leiterende und der Stromschiene. Somit kann mittels des Anschlags sowohl ein Kraftschluss zum Arretieren des Leiterendes als auch ein elektrischer Kontakt bereitgestellt werden. Auch für den Kraftschluss ist es von Vorteil, wenn zwei metallische Flächen Another preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a bus bar for passing electrical current through the conductor end. The stop forms an electrical contact between the recorded conductor end and the busbar in the locked state. Thus, both a frictional connection for locking the conductor end and an electrical contact can be provided by means of the stop. Also for the adhesion, it is advantageous if two metallic surfaces

aufeinander wirken, die im Gegensatz zum Kunststoffgehäuse der Steckverbindung oder dem Leitermantel nicht verformbar sind. act on each other, which are not deformable in contrast to the plastic housing of the connector or the conductor shell.

Vorzugsweise ist ein weiterer Anschlag vorgesehen, der im arretierten Zustand des Leiterendes ein weiteres Drehmoment um die Kippachse zu erzeugen. Der weitere Anschlag ist vorzugsweise im größtmöglichen Abstand von der Kippachse an dem Leiterende angeordnet. Der weitere Anschlag ist Preferably, a further stop is provided to generate in the locked state of the conductor end another torque about the tilt axis. The further stop is preferably arranged at the greatest possible distance from the tilting axis at the conductor end. The further stop is

Dazu wird der weitere Anschlag von dem eingeführten Leiterende weg geschwenkt oder geschoben, so dass nunmehr nur noch das Federelement gegen das Leiterende drückt. Durch Rotation des Leiterendes gegen das von dem Federelement erzeugte Drehmoment kann das Leiterende von dem ersten Anschlag nunmehr gelöst werden und aus der Steckverbindung entfernt werten. Umgekehrt wird vorgegangen, um das Leiterende in die Steckverbindung aufzunehmen. Zunächst wird das Plug connection can be removed. For this purpose, the further stop is pivoted away or pushed away from the inserted conductor end, so that now only the spring element presses against the conductor end. By rotating the conductor end against the torque generated by the spring element, the conductor end can now be released from the first stop and removed from the connector. Conversely, the procedure is to include the conductor end in the connector. At first that will be

Thereafter, the further stop is pivoted or pushed against the end of the conductor and locked to the torque of the spring element for

Ein Anschlag 20 ist vorgesehen, an dem das Leiterende 10 kraftschlüssig anliegt. Eine Feder 30 drückt das Leiterende 10 gegen ein Kippelement, wodurch ein Drehmoment entsteht, welches das Leiterende um eine Kippachse rotiert. Dadurch wird das Leiterende gegen den Anschlag 20 gedrückt. Das Leiterende ist im Wesentlichen zylinderförmig Embodiment illustrates the operation of the present invention. In Figure 1, the connector is shown with recorded conductor end 10. A stop 20 is provided, against which the conductor end 10 bears non-positively. A spring 30 presses the conductor end 10 against Tilting element, whereby a torque is generated, which rotates the conductor end about a tilting axis. As a result, the conductor end is pressed against the stop 20. The conductor end is essentially cylindrical

ausgebildet. Es besitzt einen Leitermantel aus flexiblem Kunsstoff, aus dem eine starre leitende Endhülse educated. It has a ladder jacket made of flexible Kunsstoff, from which a rigid conductive end sleeve

herausragt. Die Längsachse des Leiterendes 10 ist in Figur 1 im Wesentlichen vertikal dargestellt. Der Anschlag 20 ist so ausgelegt das die größte Aderendhülse und/oder das größte starre Leiterende 10 für den vorgesehenen protrudes. The longitudinal axis of the conductor end 10 is shown substantially vertically in FIG. The stop 20 is designed so that the largest end sleeve and / or the largest rigid conductor end 10 for the intended

Anschlussquerschnitt und oder der vorgesehene Lehrdorn eingeführt werden kann. Dieser Anschlag 20 wird vorteilhaft von einer Stromschiene 70 gebildet. Terminal cross section and or the proposed plug gauge can be introduced. This stop 20 is advantageously formed by a busbar 70.

Seitlich an dem Leiterende liegt der Anschlag 20 an. Die Berührungsfläche zwischen dem Anschlag 20 und der Endhülse des Leiterendes 10 und die von der Feder 30 erzeugte senkrechte Kraft auf den Anschlag 20 erzeugen eine große Haftreibung. Aufgrund dieser Haftreibung ist das Leiterende in der Steckverbindung arretiert. Kennzeichnend an der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, dass im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, der Anschlag 20 nicht auf der dem Federelement 30 gegenüberliegenden Seite von dem Leiterende 10 angeordnet ist. Stattdessen sind sowohl das Federelement 60 als auch der Anschlag auf derselben Seite des eingeführten Laterally at the end of the conductor is the stop 20. The contact surface between the stop 20 and the end sleeve of the conductor end 10 and the vertical force generated by the spring 30 on the stop 20 generate a large amount of static friction. Due to this static friction, the conductor end is locked in the connector. Characteristic of the present invention is that, in contrast to the prior art, the stop 20 is not disposed on the spring element 30 opposite side of the conductor end 10. Instead, both the spring element 60 and the stop are on the same side of the inserted

Leiterendes 10 angeordnet. Ein Kippelement 40 sorgt dafür, dass die Kraft von dem Federelement 60 auf die Conductor end 10 is arranged. A tilting element 40 ensures that the force from the spring element 60 on the

Kontaktfläche übertragen wird. Das Kippelement 40 ist im Wesentlichen als Vorsprung ausgebildet, der eine Kippachse 50 definiert, um die das eingeführte Leiterende 10 Contact surface is transferred. The tilting member 40 is formed substantially as a projection defining a tilting axis 50 about which the inserted conductor end 10th

schwenkbar ist. Im Gleichgewicht, wenn das Leiterende arretiert ist, ist das von dem Federelement 30 erzeugte Drehmoment genauso groß wie das entgegengesetzte Drehmoment, welches von dem Anschlag 20 erzeugt wird. Es gilt deshalb: is pivotable. In equilibrium, when the conductor end is locked, the torque generated by the spring element 30 is equal to the opposite torque generated by the stopper 20. It therefore applies:

Spring force; 11 is the distance between the point of application of the spring element on the conductor end 10 and the tilting axis 50; F AnsC hiag is the force acting perpendicular to the tilting axis 50 restoring force of the stopper; 12 is the distance between the stopper 20 and the tilting axis 50.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es den Kraftschluss zwischen dem Anschlag 20 und dem Leiterende 10 zu optimieren. Aus The aim of the invention is to optimize the adhesion between the stopper 20 and the conductor end 10. Out

Gleichung 1 geht hervor, dass die Anschlagskraft FAnsChiag um so höher ist je geringer der Abstand 12 zwischen dem Equation 1 shows that the higher the impact force F AnsC hiag the smaller the distance 12 between the

Anschlag und der Kippachse ist. Auch eine Vergrößerung des Abstands 11 zwischen dem Angriffspunkt der Federkraft auf das Leiterende 10 und der Kippachse 50 erhöht die Stop and the tilt axis is. An increase in the distance 11 between the point of application of the spring force on the conductor end 10 and the tilting axis 50 increases the

Anschlagskraft FAnschiag- Deshalb wird vorzugsweise die Impact force F An schiag- Therefore, preferably the

Kippachse 50 näher zum Anschlag 20 hin plaziert als zum Angriffspunkt der Feder 30. Dadurch wird eine besonders hohe Anschlagskraft bei vergleichsweise niedriger Tilting axis 50 placed closer to the stop 20 out than to the point of application of the spring 30. This results in a particularly high impact force at a comparatively low

Federkraft erzeugt. Je höher die Anschlagskraft desto besser ist der Kraftschluss zwischen Anschlag 20 und Spring force generated. The higher the impact force, the better the adhesion between stop 20 and

Leiterende 10. Head end 10.

Herkömmlicherweise hat eine hohe Anschlagskraft zur Folge, dass das Einstecken und Lösen des Leiterendes um so kraftaufwändiger ist je größer der Kraftschluss ist. Das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt jedoch, dass ein Lösen des Conventionally, a high impact force has the consequence that the insertion and release of the conductor end so more forceful is the greater the adhesion is. However, the embodiment shows that a release of the

Leiterendes relativ einfach erfolgen kann. Dazu muss nur das Leiterende 10 derart um die Kippachse 50 rotiert werden, dass es nicht mehr auf dem Anschlag aufliegt. Hier gilt wieder das Hebelgesetz. Je weiter entfernt von der Kippachse das Leiterende 10 gegriffen wird, desto geringer ist die erforderliche Kraft. Sobald das Leiterende 10 von dem Anschlag gelöst ist, kann es ohne Aufwand herausgezogen werden. Allenfalls die Feder und das Kippelement erzeugen noch eine gewisse Haftreibung, die dem Herausziehen oder Einführen des Leiterendes entgegenwirken. Da aber sowohl das Kippelement als auch das Federelement nur eine Ladder end can be done relatively easily. For this purpose, only the conductor end 10 must be rotated about the tilt axis 50 so that it no longer rests on the stop. Here again the leverage law applies. The further away from the tilt axis, the conductor end 10 is gripped, the lower the force required. Once the conductor end 10 is released from the stop, it can be pulled out without effort. At most, the spring and the tilting element still generate a certain static friction, which counteract the withdrawal or insertion of the conductor end. But since both the tilting element and the spring element only one

vergleichsweise kleine Auflagefläche mit dem Leiterende haben, ist die Reibfläche sehr gering. Sowohl die have comparatively small contact surface with the conductor end, the friction surface is very low. Both the

Haftreibung als auch die Gleitreibung zwischen Leiterende und Steckverbindung ist somit minimiert. Folglich ist ein Einführen und Herausnehmen des Leiterendes sehr leicht zu bewerkstelligen .  Stiction and the sliding friction between the conductor end and connector is thus minimized. Consequently, insertion and removal of the conductor end is very easy to accomplish.

Ferner besitzt die Steckverbindung gemäß Figur 1 eine Furthermore, the connector according to Figure 1 has a

Stromschiene 70 zum weiterleiten von elektrischem Strom, der durch das Leiterende 10 fließt. In Figur 2 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht der Steckverbindung des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels dargestellt. Es ist zu erkennen, dass das Leiterende in einem Trichter 120 eingeführt ist, der von einem Gehäuse 80 gebildet wird. Der Kabeltrichter 120 ist vorzugsweise so groß ausgelegt, dass das Leiterende von dem Federelement nicht gegen den Kabeltrichter gedrückt wird. Der Anschlag allein soll dem Drehmoment des Power rail 70 for passing electrical current flowing through the conductor end 10. 2 shows a perspective view of the connector of the first embodiment is shown. It will be appreciated that the conductor end is inserted in a funnel 120 formed by a housing 80. The cable hopper 120 is preferably designed so large that the conductor end is not pressed by the spring element against the cable hopper. The stop alone should be the torque of

Federelements entgegenwirken, um eine möglichst starken Kraftschluss zu erzeugen. Das Gehäuse 80 ist vorzugsweise aus einem isolierenden Kunststoff ausgebildet. In das Counteract spring element to produce the strongest possible adhesion. The housing 80 is preferably formed of an insulating plastic. In the

Gehäuse 80 ist die Stromschiene eingelassen; sie dient der elektrischen Kopplung von Strom durch das Leiterende 10 mit einem anderen nicht dargestellten Leiter. Housing 80, the busbar is embedded; it serves for the electrical coupling of current through the conductor end 10 with another conductor, not shown.

Der Anschlag 20 ist als Teil der Stromschiene 70 The stopper 20 is part of the busbar 70

ausgebildet. Er dient somit nicht nur dem mechanischen Arretieren des Leiterendes 10 sondern auch der elektrischen Kopplung des Leiterendes 10. Wenn der Anschlag als educated. He thus serves not only the mechanical locking of the conductor end 10 but also the electrical coupling of the conductor end 10. If the stop as

Bestandteil der Stromschiene ausgebildet ist, hat dies den Vorteil, dass die metallische Endhülse des Leiterendes 10 auf dem metallischen Anschlag anliegt. Der elastisch verformbare Leitermantel würde sich unter der Kontaktkraft verformen. Der Materialfluss des Kunststoffs kann aber die Auflagekraft zwischen Anschlag 20 und Leiterende 10 Part of the busbar is formed, this has the advantage that the metallic end sleeve of the conductor end 10 rests on the metallic stop. The elastically deformable conductor shell would deform under the contact force. The material flow of the plastic can but the bearing force between stop 20 and conductor end 10th

beeinflussen, insbesondere reduzieren, was nachteilig ist, denn eine berechenbare Auflagekraft ist erwünscht, um sicherzustellen, dass das Leiterende sicher arretiert ist. Figur 3 zeigt eine Querschnittsansicht der Steckverbindung des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels der vorliegenden influence, in particular reduce, which is disadvantageous, because a predictable bearing force is desired to ensure that the conductor end is securely locked. Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of the connector of the second embodiment of the present invention

Erfindung. Diejenigen Merkmale der Steckverbindung gemäß Figur 3, die den Merkmalen des Ausführungsbeispiels Invention. Those features of the connector according to Figure 3, the features of the embodiment

entsprechen, sind mit demselben Bezugszeichen are the same reference numerals

gekennzeichnet. Die Steckverbindung gemäß dem zweiten characterized. The connector according to the second

Ausführungsbeispiel besitzt ebenfalls einen Anschlag 20, ein Federelement 30 und ein Kippelement 40. Das Leiterende ist in den Trichter des Gehäuses 80 eingeführt und in der Steckverbindung arretiert.  Embodiment also has a stop 20, a spring element 30 and a tilting element 40. The conductor end is inserted into the hopper of the housing 80 and locked in the connector.

Die Federkraft wirkt auf das Leiterende und wird über das Kippelement 40 auf den Anschlag derart umgeleitet, dass ein Kraftschluss zwischen dem Anschlag 20 und dem Leiterende erzeugt wird. Dieser Kraftschluss verhindert, dass das Leiterende 10 ohne weiteres aus der Steckverbindung 10 herausgezogen wird. Der Bewegung des Leiterendes entlang des Anschlags wirkt die Reibung zwischen Anschlag 20 und Leiterende 10 entgegen. Wird allerdings das Leiterende durch leichte Rotation gegen das Federelement 30 von dem Anschlag gelöst, dann kann das Leiterende aus dem Trichter 120 herausgezogen werden. The spring force acts on the conductor end and is redirected via the tilting member 40 to the stop such that a Force fit between the stopper 20 and the conductor end is generated. This frictional connection prevents the conductor end 10 from being easily pulled out of the plug connection 10. The movement of the conductor end along the stop counteracts the friction between stop 20 and conductor end 10. However, if the conductor end is released from the stop by slight rotation against the spring element 30, then the conductor end can be pulled out of the hopper 120.

Damit der Kraftschluss zwischen Leiterende 10 und Anschlag 20 nicht auf diese Weise fälschlicherweise verloren geht, ist in Figur 3 ein weiterer Anschlag, ein Gehäuseanschlag, 90 vorgesehen. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass das Leiterende durch äußere Einflüsse gegen das von dem Federelement erzeugte Drehmoment bewegt wird, so dass das Leiterende gelöst wird. Der Gehäuseanschlag 90 ist vorzugsweise lösbar ausgebildet, so dass das Leiterende nach dem Lösen des Gehäuseanschlags 90 von dem Leiterende 10 leicht wieder entnommen oder eingeführt werden kann. Weiterhin ist es noch von Vorteil, wenn der Leiter durch ein oder mehrere Führungselemente seitlich geführt oder gehaltert wird, so dass eine Rotation des Leiters in Richtung auf die So that the frictional connection between conductor end 10 and stop 20 is not lost in this way by mistake, another stop, a housing stop 90, is provided in FIG. This prevents that the conductor end is moved by external influences against the torque generated by the spring element, so that the conductor end is released. The housing stop 90 is preferably detachable, so that the conductor end can be easily removed or inserted again after the housing stop 90 has been detached from the conductor end 10. Furthermore, it is still advantageous if the conductor is laterally guided or held by one or more guide elements, so that a rotation of the conductor in the direction of the

Kippachse vermieden wird. Diese Führungselemente können seitliche Flächen und/oder eine Rille umfassen, in welcher der Leiter seitlich gehalten wird. Eine seitliche Führung kann beispielsweise auch durch den Kabeltrichter 120 realisiert werden. In Figur 4 ist im Querschnitt das dritte Tilting axis is avoided. These guide elements may comprise lateral surfaces and / or a groove in which the conductor is held laterally. A lateral guide, for example, can be realized by the cable funnel 120. In Figure 4 is in cross section the third

Ausführungsbeispiel der Steckverbindung der vorliegenden Erfindung dargestellt. Die dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 3 entsprechenden Merkmale sind mit den gleichen Embodiment of the connector of the present invention shown. The embodiment according to Figure 3 corresponding features are the same

Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet. Im Gegensatz zu dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel besitzt die Steckverbindung gemäß Figur 4 einen weiteren Anschlag 100, der Bestandteil der Reference number marked. In contrast to the second embodiment, the connector according to Figure 4 has a further stop 100, the part of

Stromschiene 70 ist. Damit wird ein weiterer elektrischer Kontaktpunkt für den Stromfluss durch den Leiter 10 Busbar 70 is. This is another electrical contact point for the flow of current through the conductor 10th

bereitgestellt. Vorzugsweise unterstützt dieser Anschlag das durch das Federelement 30 erzeugte Drehmoment an dem Leiterende, damit das Leiterende nicht fälschlicherweise aus seiner Arretierung gelöst wird. Schließlich ist der Stromschienenanschlag 100 lösbar arretierbar, damit das Leiterende 10 bei Bedarf relativ leicht entnommen oder eingeführt werden kann. Für flexible und kleine starre Leiter ist unterhalb einer Kontaktrippe 51, welche die Kippachse definiert, eine provided. Preferably, this stop supports the torque generated by the spring element 30 at the conductor end, so that the conductor end is not erroneously released from its locking. Finally, the busbar stop 100 is releasably lockable so that the conductor end 10 can be relatively easily removed or inserted if necessary. For flexible and small rigid conductors is below a contact rib 51, which defines the tilt axis, a

Kontaktfläche 110 vorgesehen, die in Richtung auf das Contact surface 110 provided in the direction of the

Leiterende etwas gegenüber der Kontaktrippe 51 Ladder end slightly opposite the contact rib 51

zurückgesetzt ist und auf diese Weise nicht das Kippmoment für die größeren starren oder mehrdrähtigen Leiterenden 10 beeinflusst . is reset and in this way does not affect the overturning moment for the larger rigid or stranded conductor ends 10.

In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen ist der Anschlag 20 jeweils oberhalb des Kippelements 50 angeordnet. Der Angriffspunkt des Federelements 30 and dem Leiterende 10 ist unterhalb des Kippelements 50 angeordnet. Äguivalent dazu besteht die Möglichkeit, die Steckverbindung so aufzubauen, dass das Federelement 30 oberhalb des In the illustrated exemplary embodiments, the stop 20 is arranged above the tilting element 50 in each case. The point of application of the spring element 30 and the conductor end 10 is arranged below the tilting element 50. Equivalent to this, it is possible to construct the connector so that the spring element 30 above the

Kippelements 50 wirkt. Dann übernimmt ein unten im Gehäuse oder von der Stromschiene eingebrachter Anschlag die Tipping element 50 acts. Then take a down in the housing or from the busbar introduced stop the
