Abstract

The clamp (1), without a screw, has a spring section (2) to hold a component (6, 9) such as a current rail (6) and carrier rail (9) against a base (8), to give a mechanical or electrically conductive clamping action as required. The spring (2) is compact, and is shaped for a moving leg (3) so that on clamping it transmits force over its cross section to the other leg of the spring (2), across its cross section. The movement of the spring (2) is restricted across the cross section or vertically, and in the cross section plane. The clamp can be inserted into a polyethylene connection clamp as a series clamp at the holding foot for a carrier rail.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine schraubenlose Klemme, bei der ein federndes Element ein anzuschließendes Element gegen ein Basiselement verklemmt. Nach diesem Prinzip arbeiten sowohl elektrische als auch mechanische Anschlußklemmen in vielerlei Gestalt. Üblicherweise federt ein Federelement längs einer längeren Biegelinie seitlich aus, so daß für härtere Federn besondere Formgebung und Begrenzungen des Federweges über längere Federgebilde vorgesehen wurden (DE-A-3 526 494, DE-U-8 601 687).The invention relates to a screwless clamp, in which a resilient element clamps an element to be connected against a base element. According to this principle, both electrical and mechanical connection terminals work in many forms. Usually, a spring element springs out laterally along a longer bending line, so that special shapes and limitations of the spring travel over longer spring structures have been provided for harder springs (DE-A-3 526 494, DE-U-8 601 687).

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein federndes Element, das große Kontaktkräfte entwickelt, durch besondere Formgebung kompakt auszubilden.The invention has for its object to form a resilient element that develops large contact forces compact by special shape.

Die Lösung der geschilderten Aufgabe erfolgt nach der Erfindung durch eine schraubenlose Klemme nach Patentanspruch 1. Das federnde Element ist derart geformt, daß ein beweglicher Schenkel über seinen Querschnitt auf einen anderen Schenkel des federnden Elements quer zu seinem Querschnitt beim Klemmvorgang Kraft überträgt, wobei die Beweglichkeit des Elements quer oder senkrecht zum Querschnitt und in der Querschnittsebene begrenzt ist. Durch die Kraftübertragung quer oder senkrecht zum Querschnitt lassen sich in Verbindung mit der Begrenzung des Arbeitswegs harte Federn aus vergleichsweise weichem Federmaterial erzielen.The described object is achieved according to the invention by a screwless clamp according to claim 1. The resilient element is shaped such that a movable leg across its cross-section on another leg of the resilient element transmits force transversely to its cross-section during the clamping process, the mobility of the element is limited transversely or perpendicular to the cross-section and in the cross-sectional plane. The force transmission across or perpendicular to the cross-section, in conjunction with the limitation of the travel, enables hard springs to be obtained from comparatively soft spring material.

Derartige Klemmen können als mechanische Verbindungselemente oder bei Vorsorge für ausreichende elektrische Leitfähigkeit auch als elektrische Verbindungselemente eingesetzt werden.Such clamps can be used as mechanical connecting elements or, if sufficient electrical conductivity is provided, also as electrical connecting elements.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist das federnde Element ringförmig ausgeführt, jedoch in einem Sektor unterbrochen. Die Schenkel des federnden Elements sind in ihrer Beweglichkeit in einer Richtung quer zum Querschnitt bis auf einen Arbeitsbereich durch Anschläge begrenzt, oder durch eine Einspannstelle. In der Querschnittsebene ist die Beweglichkeit des federnden Elements durch einen Führungskanal begrenzt. Ein derartiges federndes Element kann wegen seiner Formgebung als C-förmiges Element mit einem runden Klemmbereich aufgefaßt werden. Insbesondere kann das federnde Element in seinem Querschnitt kreisförmig ausgebildet sein. Es kann andererseits in seinem Querschnitt bandförmig, also flach, ausgebildet sein und aus bandförmigen Material hergestellt werden.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the resilient element is ring-shaped, but is interrupted in one sector. The legs of the resilient element are movable in a direction transverse to the cross-section limited to a work area by stops, or by a clamping point. In the cross-sectional plane, the mobility of the resilient element is limited by a guide channel. Such a resilient element can be understood as a C-shaped element with a round clamping area because of its shape. In particular, the resilient element can have a circular cross section. On the other hand, its cross-section can be in the form of a band, that is to say flat, and can be produced from band-shaped material.

Die schraubenlose Klemme in den aufgeführten Ausführungen kann in einer PE-Anschlußklemme nach Art einer Reihenklemme am Haltefuß für eine Tragschiene eingesetzt sein. Randseitig zur Aufnahme für die Tragschiene kann über einem Schlitz für einen Tragschienenrand oberhalb einer schrägen Haltekontur die geschilderte schraubenlose Klemme angeordnet werden, so daß sie im Klemmdruck auf einen eingeführten Tragschienenrand gegen die Haltekontur den Tragschienenrand verklemmt bzw. einspannt.The screwless terminal in the versions listed can be used in a PE connection terminal in the manner of a terminal block on the holding foot for a mounting rail. On the edge of the mounting rail for the mounting rail, the screwless clamp described above can be arranged above a slot for a mounting rail edge above an oblique holding contour, so that it clamps or clamps the mounting rail edge against the holding contour on an inserted mounting rail edge.

Die schraubenlose Klemme kann in einer der geschilderten Ausführungen auch in einer N-Trennklemme gegenüberliegend zu einem Schienenführungskanal angeordnet sein, so daß eine anzuschließende Stromschiene oder ein Trennschieber zum Halten einer Stromschiene in verschiedenen Arbeitspositionen festgelegt werden kann.The screwless terminal can also be arranged in one of the described embodiments in an N disconnect terminal opposite a rail guide channel, so that a busbar to be connected or a disconnect slide for holding a busbar can be fixed in various working positions.

Die Erfindung soll nun anhand eines in der Zeichnung grob schematisch wiedergegebenen Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert werden:The invention will now be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment shown roughly schematically in the drawing:

In der Zeichnung sind anhand einer in Seitenansicht wiedergegebenen Reihenklemme mehrere Einsatzmöglichkeiten für die schraubenlose Klemme 1 veranschaulicht. Die schraubenlosen Klemmen bestehen jeweils aus einem federnden Element 2, das kompakt ausgebildet ist und derart geformt ist, daß ein beweglicher Schenkel 3 des federnden Elements quer zu seinem Querschnitt beim Klemmvorgang Kraft auf seinen anderen Schenkel überträgt. Die Beweglichkeit des federnden Elements 2 ist hierbei quer zum Querschnitt bis auf einen Arbeitsbereich durch Anschläge 4 begrenzt. In der Querschnittsebene ist das federnde Element 2 durch einen Führungskanal 5 begrenzt. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind die federnden Elemente ringförmig ausgeführt, wobei sie in einem Sektor unterbrochen sind.In the drawing, several possible uses for the screwless terminal 1 are illustrated with the aid of a terminal block shown in a side view. The screwless clamps each consist of a resilient element 2, which is compact and is shaped such that a movable leg 3 of the resilient element transverse to it Cross-section transfers force to his other leg during the clamping process. The mobility of the resilient element 2 is limited transversely to the cross section except for a working area by stops 4. In the cross-sectional plane, the resilient element 2 is delimited by a guide channel 5. In the exemplary embodiment, the resilient elements are designed ring-shaped, wherein they are interrupted in one sector.

Die federnden Elemente 2 können im Querschnitt kreisförmig ausgeführt sein oder auch bandförmig.The resilient elements 2 can be circular in cross section or band-shaped.

Die schraubenlose Klemme ist im Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Zeichnung links oben als Klemme zum Anschließen einer Stromschiene 6 eingesetzt. Das federnde Element 2 ist hierzu aus elektrisch leitendem Material, beispielsweise nach Art einer Bronzefeder, ausgeführt oder aus härterem Material mit elektrisch leitendem Überzug. In der Mitte oben ist die schraubenlose Klemme in einem Trennschieber 7 eingesetzt, für den eine linke Anschlußposition und eine rechte Trennposition veranschaulicht ist. Die schraubenlose Klemme in der Mitte oben arbeitet gegen ein Basiselement 8, das durch Einsattelungen den Trennschieber in bestimmten Arbeitspositionen gegen Verschieben sichert. Einen derartigen geschilderten Aufbau zum Anschließen an einer Stromschiene findet man im Prinzip bei N-Trennklemmen vor.The screwless terminal is used in the exemplary embodiment according to the drawing at the top left as a terminal for connecting a busbar 6. For this purpose, the resilient element 2 is made of electrically conductive material, for example in the manner of a bronze spring, or of harder material with an electrically conductive coating. In the upper middle, the screwless clamp is inserted in a disconnect slide 7, for which a left connection position and a right disconnection position are illustrated. The screwless clamp in the middle at the top works against a base element 8, which secures the separating slide in certain working positions against shifting. Such a structure described for connection to a busbar can be found in principle in the case of N isolating terminals.

In der Zeichnung ist rechts unten ein weiteres Einsatzgebiet für die schraubenlose Klemme 1 dargestellt. Um mechanische Verbindung und elektrischen Kontakt zu einer Tragschiene 9 herzustellen, wie es bei einer PE-Anschlußklemme wünschenswert ist, ist randseitig zur Tragschiene 9 über einem Schlitz 10 für einen Tragschienenrand und oberhalb einer schrägen Haltekontur 11 die schraubenlose Klemme 1 angeordnet. Im Schlitz 10 kann die Reihenklemme nach der Zeichnung nach links oben angehoben, also schräg auf dem Tragschienenrand der Tragschiene 9 eingeführt werden und durch Niederdrücken gegen das federnde Element 2 zwischen diesem und der inneren Ecke der schrägen Haltekontur 11 verspannt werden.In the drawing, another area of use for screwless terminal 1 is shown at the bottom right. In order to establish mechanical connection and electrical contact to a mounting rail 9, as is desirable in the case of a PE connecting terminal, the screwless terminal 1 is arranged on the edge side of the mounting rail 9 via a slot 10 for a mounting rail edge and above an oblique holding contour 11. In the slot 10, the terminal block can be raised to the top left as shown in the drawing, that is to say inserted obliquely on the edge of the mounting rail 9 and clamped between the spring element and the inner corner of the oblique holding contour 11 by pressing against the resilient element 2.

Die schraubenlosen Klemmen erlauben beim Ausfedern ihrer federnden Elemente 2 ein Auswandern der Schenkel innerhalb eines Arbeitsbereiches, bis sie auf einem oder beiden der Anschläge 4 anstehen. Entsprechend erhöht sich die Kraftwirkung der schraubenlosen Klemme.The screwless clamps allow the legs to migrate within a working area when their resilient elements 2 rebound until they abut one or both of the stops 4. The force of the screwless clamp increases accordingly.
