Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection box for a data or communication network.
  • the DE 10 2004 025 188 A1 discloses a connection socket for a data or communication network with a housing, which has a lower housing part with a bottom surface and a upper housing part, a clamping device for at least one cable being provided on the lower housing part, and a printed circuit board being arranged in the housing, on which at least a socket for receiving a plug is arranged, wherein the upper housing part can be placed on the lower housing part and can be fixed on the lower housing part in several positions rotated relative to one another about an imaginary central housing axis.
  • a junction box allows a cable outlet in several directions.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a junction box that can be used more flexibly.
  • connection box for a data or communication network with the features of patent claim 1.
  • the junction box according to the invention for a data or communication network with a housing having a lower housing part with a bottom surface and a housing upper part, wherein on the lower housing part a clamping device for at least a cable is provided, and wherein a printed circuit board is arranged in the housing, on which at least one socket for receiving a plug is arranged, wherein the upper housing part can be placed on the lower housing part and can be fixed on the lower housing part in several positions rotated relative to one another about an imaginary central housing axis is characterized in that a first bearing surface for the at least one cable and a second bearing surface for the at least one cable are arranged on the lower housing part, wherein the at least one cable can be fixed by clamping on the first bearing surface or the second bearing surface by means of the clamping device and wherein the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are arranged at an angle to one another.
  • the clamping device usually provides strain relief for the connected cable.
  • the two bearing surfaces enable a cable outlet at two different angles in relation to the bottom surface of the lower part of the housing and thus in particular of the housing.
  • the junction box can be used in different installation situations. Before installation, the user can select the angle at which the cable is to be connected relative to the floor surface and the direction in relation to an imaginary central axis of the housing.
  • the junction box according to the invention thus enables twice the number of possible cable outlets.
  • the first bearing surface is preferably arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the lower housing part. In this way, a cable outlet can be implemented at an angle of 90° relative to the center axis of the housing.
  • the second bearing surface is inclined at an angle of between 20° and 70°, preferably at an angle of between 40° and 50°, particularly preferably at an angle of about 45°, relative to the bottom surface of the lower housing part.
  • Such an arrangement is particularly advantageous in cavity wall boxes, since the cable in the cable outlet does not have to be bent as severely.
  • first bearing surface and/or the second bearing surface have a contact contour and/or a contact structure.
  • a contact contour for example in the form of a channel for inserting the cable, can facilitate the positioning of the cable on the corresponding support surface.
  • a contact structure for example in the form of knobs, teeth or ribs running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable, can improve the fixation of the cable.
  • the clamping device preferably has a contact contour and/or a contact structure.
  • a contact contour for example in the form of a channel for inserting the cable, can facilitate the positioning of the cable.
  • a contact structure for example in the form of knobs, teeth or ribs running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable, can improve the fixation of the cable.
  • the clamping device can advantageously be fixed by means of a screw. Such a fixation allows the connection of cables of different diameters in a simple manner.
  • the screw is preferably held captive on the housing in order to be able to avoid losing the screw.
  • the clamping device has a first section, with which the at least one cable can be fixed on the first bearing surface, and a second section, with which the at least one cable can be fixed on the second bearing surface, the first Section and the second section are arranged at an angle to each other, which corresponds in particular to the angle between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface.
  • the clamping device can be used to fix the cable on both bearing surfaces without it being necessary to change the position of the clamping device.
  • the clamping device in a second alternative, can be moved between a first position, in which the at least one cable can be fixed on the first bearing surface, and a second position, in which the at least one cable can be fixed on the second bearing surface.
  • the clamping device can be designed, for example, as a pivotable flap or as a convertible cover element.
  • the clamping device can be made smaller than in the embodiment according to the first alternative, as a result of which material can be saved.
  • the clamping device advantageously has at least one projection which is arranged in a first recess in the first position and in a second recess in the second position.
  • the clamping device can be designed in a structurally simple manner in order to realize movement, in particular conversion between two positions.
  • the recess is designed with an undercut and the projection has such a non-round cross section that the projection can only be inserted into the recess in one orientation relative to the recess.
  • a user must therefore consciously move the clamping device into the one orientation in which he can remove the clamping device from the recess and reinsert it into the other recess. This reduces the risk of the clamping device falling out of the recess.
  • the screw can be displaced, guided in a groove. This simplifies the fixation of the clamping device with a single screw both in the first and in the second position.
  • the upper part of the housing can be placed on the lower part of the housing and can be fixed on the lower part of the housing in at least four, preferably at least six, particularly preferably in eight, positions rotated relative to one another about an imaginary central housing axis, in order to enable a cable outlet in a large number of different directions.
  • the Figures 1 to 14 show different views, some only of components, of a first embodiment of a junction box 10 for a data or communication network.
  • the Figures 15 to 27 show different views, some only of components, of a second embodiment of a junction box 10 for a data or communication network. Unless otherwise stated, the following description relates to both exemplary embodiments.
