Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tap for a linear power distribution arrangement with a number of contact elements.
  • Linear power distribution arrangements are used in particular for lighting systems in buildings in order to lay cables for supplying devices with energy and / or signals in a cost-effective and visually appealing manner.
  • Signals are understood to mean both the transmission of general signals, such as control signals, and the transmission of data, such as measurement or information data.
  • the installation location of the devices can be chosen flexibly along a housing body of the power distribution arrangement and easily varied. The devices can thus be contacted in a simple manner with a connecting element in an electrically conductive manner with the conductors of a linear supply unit at a variably definable installation location.
  • Such power distribution arrangements have the advantage that the devices are carried on the housing body in an electrically contacting manner and also mechanically at the same time.
  • linear supply units which are stored in a housing body, are mostly used in the linear power distribution arrangements.
  • These supply units can be designed, for example, as current-carrying profiles, but also as ribbon cables.
  • the current-carrying profiles are formed from a base body extending in the longitudinal direction with a contacting area which has a number of chambers in which individual conductors are arranged.
  • These current-carrying profiles are generally rigid and have a limited length due to the manufacturing process.
  • Connecting elements can also be used when using ribbon cables, depending on the length of the ribbon cable.
  • the terminal devices are usually contacted with the conductors of the linear supply units via a tap which comprises a number of contact elements. These contact elements engage in the chambers and contact the corresponding conductors, as a result of which the signals or the energy from the conductors can be conducted via the taps to the end devices.
  • the taps have hitherto been constructed from a number of individual contact elements, each of which is designed as a separate component that not only has to be individually integrated into the tap, but also individually wired and connected. In the manufacture of the taps, this leads to a considerable increase in material expenditure, complicated and error-prone work steps when connecting the contact elements and an increased space requirement because the cabling of the contact elements also has to be integrated into the tap.
  • the contact elements in the tap are usually installed and connected once, so that a subsequent change in position is hardly possible or only possible with considerable additional work.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a system, in particular a tap, for tapping the signals and / or the energy of a linear power distribution arrangement, which is particularly compact, inexpensive and easy to manufacture and in which the position of the contact elements can be changed particularly easily .
  • the invention is based on the idea that a particularly compact design and quick and easy production can be achieved when on the connection and wiring of each individual contact element could be dispensed with. This could be the case if the tap already provides predefined connections or contact locations for the contact elements, which are already connected in a preceding work step and preferably in an automated manner. It was recognized that this can be achieved if conductor tracks of a circuit board are used for wiring the contact elements and the contact elements are arranged at predetermined positions on the circuit board. The contact elements can be soldered, plugged on or screwed on at these positions.
  • the current bridges are arranged on the circuit board, onto which the contact elements are attached.
  • these contact elements are designed to be movable on the current bridges and along them, so that the position of the contact elements along these current bridges can be varied particularly easily.
  • the current bridges are of course not only designed to hold the contact elements, but can also pick up the signals and pass them on to the conductor tracks.
  • the current bridges are soldered, plugged or screwed onto the circuit board.
  • the contact elements therefore comprise spring elements which generate a spring force perpendicular to the plane of the printed circuit board and in the direction of the conductors of the linear supply units and thus press the contact elements against the conductors.
  • the spring elements are preferably arranged in the contact elements in such a way that they are supported on the current bridges and thus generate a spring force in the direction of the conductors.
  • the circuit board comprises at least one socket which is electrically connected to the contact elements via conductor tracks, i.e. in terms of energy and / or signal technology.
  • the end devices can be connected to the tap at one or more central points and each contact element does not need to be individually wired to an end device.
  • the circuit board comprises electronic components on the circuit board in order to process the incoming energy or the signals. These electronic components can in particular be chips or logic units.
  • At least one power bridge comprises a ground line, which is preferably connected to the housing of the power distribution arrangement.
  • the tap comprises a protective cover.
  • This protective cover has a number of openings through which the contact elements can reach. The openings are designed in such a way that the contact elements can be moved further along the current bridges, that is to say simulate the course of the current bridges.
  • the protective cover is attached to the current bridges of the circuit board and attached to it after the contact elements have been attached.
  • the protective cover can also serve as a stopper.
  • the contact element comprises a stop which is made wider than the width of the openings, so that the contact elements can only reach through the openings to a certain depth.
  • a particularly compact design can be achieved in particular when the contact elements and current bridges share a printed circuit board with the control units of the end devices, in particular the drivers for lighting means.
  • the additional wiring or the additional connection of the control units to the tap would then be omitted, since all components can be connected to one another electrically and in terms of signal technology via the commonly used printed circuit board and existing conductor tracks. Therefore, in a particularly preferred embodiment, the driver circuit board, that is to say the circuit board of the control unit of a terminal, is at the same time also the circuit board for tapping on the contact elements.
  • the advantages achieved with the invention are in particular that the arrangement of the contact elements on a printed circuit board enables a particularly compact and simple design of the taps.
  • the time-consuming and space-consuming wiring of the individual contact elements with the end devices is no longer necessary, as these are replaced by prefabricated conductor tracks.
  • the already existing printed circuit board of a control unit for the terminals, in particular a driver for lighting means can be used, whereby additional space and additional costs can be saved.
  • further electrical components for processing the incoming energy or signals can be integrated in the system in the simplest way, which offers a wide range of options.
  • the tap 1 comprises a printed circuit board 2 on which a plurality of elements are arranged. These essentially include a number of current bridges 4, which are soldered or plugged onto the circuit board 2 and are connected electrically or for signaling purposes to conductor tracks (not shown). These current bridges 4 serve as slots for the contact elements 6 and also establish an electrical or signaling connection between the conductor tracks and the contact elements 6.
  • the current bridges 4 are arranged perpendicular to the plane of the circuit board and extend in the direction of the conductor to be contacted. For reliable contacting of the conductors by the contact elements 6, these comprise spring elements (not shown).
  • spring elements are arranged within the contact elements 6 and are supported on the current bridges 4 or, as a rule, on the upper edge of the current bridges 4, ie facing away from the circuit board 2, and generate a spring force which pushes the contact elements 6 in the direction of the conductors.
  • the spring elements are specifically designed to secure the contact between the contact elements 6 and the conductors and not to enable contacting of the contact elements 6 on the current bridges 4. For this reason, the spring elements are also essentially not designed to be current-carrying.
  • the current conduction between the contact elements 6 and the current bridge 4 is preferably carried out by a fork contact.
  • the current bridges 4 are designed to be widened so that the contact elements 6 can be shifted along the current bridges 4 in order to be able to contact different conductors of a linear supply unit.
  • the circuit board 2 comprises a number of sockets 8, which are also electrically and signal-technically connected to the conductor tracks thus directly with the contact elements 6. Plugs or individual conductors of the terminals or the control elements for terminals can be plugged into these sockets 8, so that a particularly simple Connection of tap 1 is possible.
  • the circuit board 2 is held in a housing 10 and provided with a protective cover 12.
  • This protective cover 12 comprises a number of openings 14, the position and dimensions of which are adapted to the current bridges 4 on the circuit board 2.
  • the contact elements 6 can reach through these openings 14.
  • the contact elements 6 comprise a stop 16, which in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG Fig. 1 is visible.
  • both elements comprise corresponding holders 18, for example in the form of a latching hook.
  • a tap 1 is in use, that is, it is shown in contact with a linear supply unit 20.
  • Such a linear supply unit 1 is usually used in linear power distribution arrangements (not shown).
  • These linear power distribution arrangements generally include a housing body which has a bottom section and two side wall sections which each extend away from the opposite edge regions of the bottom section and are formed essentially parallel to one another and perpendicular to the bottom section.
  • These housing bodies are fastened to the ceiling of a building and include a holder for receiving a linear supply unit 20.
  • a feeder also not shown, then conducts current and / or signals into the linear supply units 20.
  • the linear supply unit 20 is in Fig. 3 Formed current conducting profile and comprises a base body 22 made of a base material with a number of side by side arranged chambers 24 for receiving conductors 26.
  • a base body 22 made of a base material with a number of side by side arranged chambers 24 for receiving conductors 26.
  • the illustrated arrangement of the chambers next to one another and in one plane, the arrangement of the chambers in several planes or offset to one another is also conceivable.
  • the tap 1 engages in the exemplary embodiment Fig. 3 with its contact elements 6 into the chambers 24 of the linear supply unit 20 and makes contact with the conductors 26. Via the contact elements 6, the current bridges 4, the conductor tracks and the sockets 8, the current or the signals from the conductors 26 of the linear supply unit 20 can be supplied the end devices are passed on. If, in the present case, a conductor 26 of another, adjacent chamber 24 is to be contacted by a contact element 6, the contact element 26 can, as already mentioned above, be moved along the current bridge 4 into the new position without the need for new cabling of the contact elements.
  • a driver 28 of a lamp is in the embodiments according to Figures 4 and 5 shown.
  • the driver 28 is designed as a control element of the lighting means and for this purpose comprises a circuit board 2 in any case.
  • this circuit board 2 is now also used as a circuit board 2 for tapping. This allows the in the Figs. 1 to 3 sockets 8 shown can be saved, since the transmission of the energy and / or signals to the terminal device, here the driver 1 itself, can be implemented via the conductor tracks of the printed circuit board 2.
  • Figs. 1 to 3 use elements for contacting arranged in the same way.
  • a number of current bridges 4 are thus also used here, on which the contact elements 6 are arranged in a displaceable manner.
  • a protective cover 12 with a number of openings 14 is also provided, which can now optionally extend over the entire driver 28 or as in the exemplary embodiments Figures 4 and 5 shown only over the area of the circuit board 2 in which the elements for contacting are arranged.
  • contact elements 6 are of course not limited to the contact elements 6 shown here, but depending on the conductors 26 or chambers 24 used, other contact elements 6, for example piercing contacts or lateral contacting of the conductors 26, are also possible.
