Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a wiring configuration for connecting electrical conductors. The invention also relates to an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] These wiring configurations typically feature a clamping spring constructed as a support spring, with retaining feet and clamping feet. A conductor inserted into this configuration can be clamped against the current bar by means of the clamping spring's clamping feet. When clamping a particularly flexible conductor, the clamping spring must be moved to the release position and operated by means of an actuating member before the conductor is inserted, causing the clamping spring or clamping feet to deflect away from the current bar so that the conductor can be inserted into the cavity between the current bar and the clamping spring. Only when the conductor is rigid and therefore stable can it apply sufficient force to the clamping spring or its clamping feet to deflect away from the current bar without user intervention with the actuating member. With flexible conductors, the user must first operate the actuating member to deflect the clamping spring away from the current bar to insert the flexible conductor. To clamp the inserted conductor, the user must again manually operate the actuating member to move the clamping spring from the release position into the clamping position. The manipulation of the control components by the user increases the difficulty of installing or connecting conductors, because the operation is cumbersome and therefore time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a wiring configuration and an electronic device in which the connection of particularly flexible conductors can be simplified.

[0004] The solution of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned objectives is characterized by the independent claim. Preferred embodiments and advantageous improvements of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

[0005] The wiring configuration of the present invention includes: a housing; a current bar; a clamping spring having a clamping foot movable into a clamping position and a released position; an actuating member by means of which pressure can be applied to the clamping foot to move the clamping foot from the clamping position to the released position; a conductor connection cavity constructed between a section of the current bar and the clamping foot of the clamping spring; a movably arranged guide element in an active connection with the clamping foot of the clamping spring, wherein the clamping foot can be held in the released position by means of the guide element; and a triggering element engaged with the guide element in the released position of the clamping spring. When a conductor to be connected is inserted into the conductor connection cavity, the triggering element can be actuated by the conductor such that the triggering element disengages from the guide element, and the guide element can be moved by the elastic force of the clamping foot, thereby moving the clamping foot into the clamping position to clamp the conductor against the current bar.

[0006] With the wiring configuration of the present invention, flexible conductors can now be directly plugged in and clamped against the busbar. The clamping spring is preferably constructed as a support spring, having a retaining foot and a clamping foot that can deflect relative to the retaining foot. Through the deflection movement of the clamping foot, it can move into a release position and a clamping position. In the release position, the clamping foot is arranged at a distance from the current bar, and the conductor to be connected can be inserted into or removed from the conductor connection cavity formed between the current bar and the clamping foot. In the clamping position, the clamping foot can abut against the current bar or against the conductor to be connected, thereby clamping the conductor against the current bar. The wiring configuration has a guide element that is particularly horizontally movable, which is functionally connected to the clamping spring, especially in the release position of the clamping foot. This means that the clamping spring follows the displacement of the guide element and thus its position through its functional connection with the guide element. The guide element holds the clamp in the released position against its elastic force, specifically by pressing the guide element against the clamp. To hold the guide element in this position, it engages with the trigger element in the released position of the clamp spring's clamp. If the trigger element and guide element are engaged, the guide element cannot perform displacement, or the displacement will stop. Through the operative connection or coupling between the trigger element and the guide element, and between the guide element and the clamp spring's clamp in the released position, the clamp can be held in this released position without additional manual operation. This allows, in particular, the insertion of a flexible conductor into the conductor connection cavity created between the current bar and the clamp spring. The trigger element may have a pressing surface pointing towards the conductor connection cavity, aligned with the conductor inlet for conductor insertion into the wiring configuration, or aligned with the conductor connection cavity, such that the conductor impacts the pressing surface of the trigger element upon insertion into the wiring configuration, thereby applying pressure to the trigger element by the conductor. By applying pressure to the pressing surface through a conductor, the trigger element can be caused to deflect or tilt along the insertion direction of the conductor, thus deflecting or tilting away from the guide element. This deflection disengages the trigger element from the guide element, allowing it to move freely again. The guide element can then move independently of the clamping jaws, moving from the release position to the clamping position without human intervention. This unique mechanism allows for the connection of flexible conductors with remarkable simplicity, solely through the insertion of the conductor, without requiring the user to manipulate other components, such as actuating mechanisms, to release the clamping spring and move it from the release position to the clamping position. This simplifies wiring configuration and saves time during conductor connection. The trigger element is preferably a component or part independently constructed from the clamping spring, current bar, and guide element.The triggering element preferably extends within the region between the section of the current bar where the conductor can be clamped and the clamping spring, such that the triggering element can form the boundary of the conductor connection cavity on one side. The guiding element can be constructed as a slider element. The clamping foot of the clamping spring is moved from the clamped position to the released position by means of an actuating member, specifically, by means of an actuating member applying pressure to the clamping foot, thereby causing the clamping foot to deflect away from the current bar. Therefore, to actuate the clamping spring, the actuating member acts directly on the clamping foot of the clamping spring. However, the actuating member is preferably only used to move the clamping foot from the clamped position to the released position, and not to move the clamping foot from the released position to the clamped position.

[0007] To establish an active connection between the guide element and the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the guide element may have at least one spring abutment edge against which the clamping leg can abut. The spring abutment edge may be constructed such that, particularly in the release position, the clamping leg or at least a portion thereof can abut against the spring abutment edge. The spring abutment edge preferably extends into the wiring configuration along the conductor insertion direction. Therefore, the spring abutment preferably extends transversely to the direction of movement of the guide element. Depending on the diameter of the inserted and clamped conductor, at least a portion of the clamping leg may also abut against the spring abutment edge in the clamping position.

[0008] To ensure uniform guidance of the guide element and the clamping spring's feet, two such spring abutments are constructed on the guide element, such that the clamping feet are guided by these two spring abutments on the guide element. These two spring abutments preferably extend parallel to each other on the guide element.

[0009] In this technical solution, the clamping foot has two sliding sections arranged on the side of the main section with clamping edges. The guiding element has two spaced-apart spring abutments, wherein the first sliding section abuts against the first spring abutment, and the second sliding section abuts against the second spring abutment. The lengths of these two sliding sections are preferably shorter than the main section of the clamping foot. The main section and the two sliding sections preferably extend parallel to each other. The two sliding sections are preferably arc-shaped, thus forming a skid that can slide along a spring abutment, respectively. The main section is preferably straight.

[0010] If a pressing force is applied to the clamping foot by means of an actuating member to move the clamping foot from the clamping position to the release position, the pressing force is preferably transmitted from the clamping foot of the clamping spring to the guiding element, thereby causing the guiding element to move by the deflection movement of the clamping foot away from the current bar, until the guiding element can engage with the triggering element. For this purpose, the guiding element can have a mating abutment edge on which the clamping foot can apply force to the guiding element when moving from the clamping position to the release position. In this way, the clamping foot can press against the mating abutment edge to move the guiding element when moving from the clamping position to the release position. Thus, when the clamping foot moves from the clamping position to the release position, the guiding element can follow the movement of the clamping foot. Preferably, the clamping foot can apply force to the guiding element through its sliding section.

[0011] Preferably, the guide element has two mutually spaced-apart mating edges. Similarly, the clamp preferably has two sliding sections, such that the two sliding sections of the clamp can simultaneously press against the two mating edges of the guide element, so as to move the guide element when the clamp moves from the clamping position to the release position.

[0012] Preferably, at least one mating abutment edge is arranged opposite to at least one spring abutment edge. Therefore, the clamp or the sliding section of the clamp can alternately abut against the spring abutment edge and the mating abutment edge of the guide element, depending on the specific movement of the clamp.

[0013] At least one guiding element may have a slotted notch, wherein at least one spring abutment and at least one mating abutment may be formed within the region of the at least one slotted notch. The slotted notch preferably extends into the guiding element. A portion of the clamp, particularly the sliding section of the clamp, may be recessed into the slotted notch and guided. Preferably, the guiding element has two opposing slotted notches, each with a spring abutment and a mating abutment formed thereon, such that the two sliding sections of the clamp can symmetrically engage with the guiding element through the two slotted notches. Both the spring abutment and the mating abutment may each form a segment of the dividing wall of the slotted notch.

[0014] The guide element is preferably movable such that its displacement is transverse to the insertion direction of the conductor to be connected into the conductor connection cavity. This allows for a particularly compact construction scheme, thereby reducing the structural space required for the wiring configuration.

[0015] To allow the trigger element to separate from the guide element via a conductor inserted into the conductor connection cavity, and thus disengage from the guide element, the trigger element is supported in a tiltable manner relative to the guide element. Therefore, the trigger element can be rocker-shaped. If the conductor to be connected is pressed against the trigger element, the trigger element can tilt along the insertion direction of the conductor to disengage from the guide element, thereby releasing the guide element and allowing it to move freely again.

[0016] To create engagement between the trigger element and the guide element in the released position of the clamping spring's foot, the trigger element may have at least one bottom cutout that engages with at least one snap-fit ​​flange of the guide element in the released position of the clamping spring's foot. This creates a snap-fit ​​connection between the guide element and the trigger element when the clamping spring's foot is in the released position. Preferably, the trigger element has two bottom cutouts, and the guide element preferably has two snap-fit ​​flanges, thus creating a double-acting snap-fit ​​between the guide element and the trigger element. If two bottom cutouts are provided, these cutouts are preferably constructed on two mutually parallel sides of the trigger element. The trigger element may be T-shaped within the areas of these two bottom cutouts.

[0017] Furthermore, preferably, the guiding element may have two parallel longitudinal sidewalls that form the boundaries of the conductor connection cavity on a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. Therefore, when a conductor to be connected is inserted into the conductor connection cavity, the guiding element can also act as a guide for this conductor. These two longitudinal sidewalls prevent misinsertion of the conductor. Thus, the conductor connection cavity can be bounded on two sides by the guiding element and on the other two sides by the clamping feet of the current strip and the clamping spring. Spring abutments and / or mating abutments can be constructed on these two sidewalls.

[0018] The actuating element can be, for example, a tool such as a screwdriver, which can be inserted into the housing of the wiring configuration as needed to move the clamping leg of the clamping spring from the clamped position to the released position. For this purpose, the housing can have an opening through which the actuating element can be inserted to actuate the clamping leg of the clamping spring.

[0019] The opening for inserting the actuating member is preferably located between the conductor inlet constructed on the housing and the support portion of the clamping spring within the housing. In the inserted state, the actuating member is preferably positioned between the section of the current bar where the conductor is clamped and the clamping spring. The support portion can be a receiving portion for the clamping spring in the arc-shaped section between the clamping foot and the retaining foot of the clamping spring.

[0020] The actuating element can also be integrated into the housing and is not a tool that requires additional insertion. In this case, the actuating element can be supported in the housing and linearly guided through a guide opening constructed in the housing to deflect the clamping jaws from the clamping position to the releasing position.

[0021] The actuating member can be constructed such that it loops around the clamping spring in a U-shape. Specifically, the actuating member can loop around or span the clamping spring within the arcuate section of the clamping spring. Thus, the actuating member can surround the cover-shaped clamping spring.

[0022] The actuating member may have a first actuating finger and a second actuating finger opposite the first actuating finger, wherein a sidewall of the actuating member may extend between the first and second actuating fingers, the sidewall at least partially laterally covering the clamping spring. If the housing is constructed to be open on one side, the clamping spring can be held in its position at the support by the actuating member or the sidewall of the actuating member, thereby preventing the clamping spring from slipping out of the housing. The first actuating finger is preferably used to actuate the clamping foot of the clamping spring. The second actuating finger preferably covers a section of the retaining foot of the clamping spring. When the clamping spring is actuated by means of the actuating member, the actuating member can apply force to the clamping foot through its first actuating finger, while simultaneously guiding the second actuating finger along the retaining foot.

[0023] The wiring configuration can be, for example, formed as a terminal block that can be snapped onto a mounting rail. Alternatively, the wiring configuration can also be formed as a terminal block that can be arranged on a printed circuit board.

[0024] It may also be provided with a terminal block configuration, which may have multiple terminals arranged in a connected manner, each of which may have at least one wiring configuration constructed and improved as described above.

[0025] The object of the present invention can also be achieved by an electronic device having at least one wiring configuration constructed and improved as described above. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Figure 6 For example Figure 5 A schematic cross-sectional view of the wiring configuration shown. Detailed Implementation

[0034] Figures 1 to 6 Two different wiring configurations 100 are shown. Both wiring configurations 100 have a housing 140, which may be formed of an insulating material. Apart from the operating member 129, Figures 1 to 6 The two wiring configurations shown use the same construction scheme.

[0035] A current bar 110 and a clamping spring 111 configured as a support spring are arranged in the housing 140. The clamping spring 111 has a retaining foot 112 and a clamping foot 113. The retaining foot 112 is connected to the clamping foot 113 via an arcuate section 141. The retaining foot 112 is held in a fixed position, while the clamping foot 113 can deflect relative to the retaining foot 112. Through the deflection movement of the clamping foot 113, this clamping foot can move into a clamping position (e.g., ...). Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 (as shown) and move into the release position (as shown) Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 (As shown).

[0036] In the clamped position, the clamp 113 presses against a segment 114 of the current bar 110 or against a conductor of the insertion wiring configuration 100 to clamp and connect the conductor to the segment 114 of the current bar 110. In the released position, the clamp 113 is spaced apart from the segment 114 of the current bar 110, allowing the conductor to be inserted into the free space formed between the segment 114 of the current bar 110 and the clamp 113, which forms the conductor connection cavity 124.

[0037] Furthermore, the wiring configuration 100 has a guide element 115. The guide element 115 is supported in a manner that allows it to move relative to the current bar 110, so that the guide element 115 can perform horizontal displacement movement.

[0038] The clamping foot 113 of the clamping spring 111 can be held in the released position by means of the guide element 115. For this purpose, the guide element 115 is in an active connection with the clamping foot 113 of the clamping spring 111.

[0039] In the technical solution shown here, the guide element 115 has two parallel spring abutment edges 116a and 116b, and the clamping foot 113 abuts against these spring abutment edges.

[0040] The clamp 113 has a main section 117, on which a clamping edge 118 is constructed, which can be seen from... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As can be seen in the sectional views, these sectional views show the wiring configuration 100, which is related to the clamping spring 111 and the guide element 115. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The technical solution shown is the same. Two sliding sections 119a and 119b are constructed on the side of the main section 117, such that the main section 117 is arranged between these two sliding sections 119a and 119b. These two sliding sections 119a and 119b at least abut against the release position, and abut against the two spring abutment edges 116a and 116b of the guide element 115 when moved from the release position to the clamping position, wherein sliding section 119a abuts against spring abutment edge 116a, and sliding section 119b abuts against spring abutment edge 116b.

[0041] The lengths of sliding sections 119a and 119b are less than that of the main section 117. Sliding sections 119a and 119b are arc-shaped, thus forming a skid shape. With the help of this skid shape, when the clamping foot 113 moves into the clamping position, sliding sections 119a and 119b can slide along the spring abutment edges 116a and 116b.

[0042] The two spring abutment edges 116a and 116b are constructed on the opposing longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b of the guide element 115. These two longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b are parallel to each other. Each of the two longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b has an upper edge 121a and 121b and an opposing lower edge 122a and 122b. The spring abutment edges 116a and 116b extend substantially perpendicular to the upper edges 121a and 121b. Starting from the horizontally extending upper edges 121a and 121b, the spring abutment edges 116a and 116b extend downwards toward the horizontally extending lower edges 122a and 122b of the guide element 115.

[0043] The current bar 110 and the clamping spring 111 are arranged between the two longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b of the guiding element 115. The current bar 110 and the clamping spring 111 are surrounded by the guiding element 115.

[0044] The guiding element 115 also has two parallel end walls 123a and 123b. These two end walls 123a and 123b are arranged transversely to the two longitudinal side walls 120a and 120b of the guiding element 115.

[0045] A conductor connection cavity 124 is constructed between section 114 of the current bar 110 and the clamp 113 for inserting a conductor to be connected. The sides of the conductor connection cavity 124 are covered or bounded by the two longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b of the guiding element 115, such that the guiding element 115 also forms a guide for the conductor to be connected.

[0046] The conductor connection cavity 124 is flush with the conductor inlet 143 constructed in the housing 140, through which the conductor to be connected can be inserted into the housing 140 of the wiring configuration 100 in the insertion direction E.

[0047] Wiring configuration 100 also includes a trigger element 125. The trigger element 125 is flush with the conductor inlet 143 and the conductor connection cavity 124. The trigger element 125 forms the boundary of the conductor connection cavity 124 below.

[0048] Especially from Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As can be seen, in the release position of the clamping foot 113 of the clamping spring 111, the triggering element 125 engages with the guiding element 115, so that the guiding element 115 is held in its position. Thus, the clamping foot 113 is also held in its position by the spring abutting against the edges 116a, 116b and the sliding sections 119a, 119b, thereby preventing the clamping foot 113 from unintentionally rotating from the release position to the clamping position.

[0049] The trigger element 125 has two bottom cutouts 126 arranged on the side, which engage with a snap-fit ​​flange 127a, 127b of the guide element 115 respectively in the release position of the clamping foot 113 of the clamping spring 111, to form a snap between the guide element 115 and the trigger element 125. The snap-fit ​​flange 127a is formed on the lower edge 122a of the longitudinal sidewall 120a, and the snap-fit ​​flange 127b is formed on the lower edge 122b of the longitudinal sidewall 120b.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the clamped position, the trigger element 125 disengages from the guide element 115, allowing the guide element 115 to move freely.

[0051] The trigger element 125 is supported in a manner that allows it to tilt relative to the guide element 115.

[0052] When the conductor to be connected is inserted into the conductor connection cavity 124 through the conductor inlet 143 along the insertion direction E, the conductor impacts the trigger element 125, causing the trigger element 125 to tilt relative to the guide element 115, thereby disengaging from the guide element 115 and allowing the guide element 115 to move freely again. Thus, the guide element 115 can move without human assistance, solely by the elastic force of the clamp 113, allowing the clamp 113 to move from the release position to the clamping position.

[0053] The trigger element 125 has a pressing surface 128 pointing towards the conductor connection cavity 124. This pressing surface is arranged flush with the conductor inlet 143 or the conductor connection cavity 124, such that when the conductor is inserted into the wiring configuration 100 along the insertion direction E, it impacts the pressing surface 128 of the trigger element 125, thereby applying pressing force to the trigger element 125 by the conductor. By applying pressing force to the pressing surface 128 and then to the trigger element 125 by means of the conductor, the trigger element 125 can enter a deflection or tilting movement along the insertion direction E of the conductor, thereby causing the trigger element 125 to deflect or tilt away from the guide element 115 along the insertion direction E of the conductor.

[0054] When the guide element 115 is disengaged from the trigger element 125, the guide element 115 performs a displacement movement V in a certain direction, which is transverse to the insertion direction E of the conductor to be connected into the conductor connection cavity 124.

[0055] On these two longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b, there are also mating abutment edges 142a and 142b respectively. Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As can be seen, when the clamping foot 113 moves from the clamping position to the releasing position, the clamping foot 113 presses its two sliding sections 119a and 119b against the two mating abutment edges 142a and 142b. As a result, the guide element 115 follows the deflection movement of the clamping foot 113 and moves a certain distance through the displacement movement V until the guide element 115 engages with the trigger element 125 with its snap-fit ​​flanges 127a and 127b and hooks at that point from the rear.

[0056] These two mating abutment edges 142a, 142b are arranged opposite to the spring abutment edges 116a, 116b on the corresponding longitudinal sidewalls 120a, 120b of the guide element 115.

[0057] The longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b each have a groove-shaped notch 154a and 154b, into which the clamping foot 113 inserts its two sliding sections 119a and 119b. The spring abutment edges 116a and 116b and the mating abutment edges 142a and 142b of the longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b respectively form part of the dividing wall of the groove-shaped notch 154a and 154b of the corresponding longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b. The two groove-shaped notches 154a and 154b are constructed symmetrically or parallel to each other on the two longitudinal sidewalls 120a and 120b.

[0058] exist Figures 1 to 6 In the illustrated technical solution, the clamp 113 moves from the clamped position to the released position by means of the actuating member 129. Besides the type and guidance of the actuating member 129, Figures 1 to 6 All wiring configurations shown in 100 use the same construction scheme.

[0059] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated technical solution, the actuating member 129 is a tool that needs to be inserted separately into the housing 140, and it is shown here in the form of a screwdriver. The housing 140 has an opening 144 through which the actuating member 129 can be inserted to manipulate the clamping foot 113 of the clamping spring 111.

[0060] An opening 144 for inserting the actuating member 129 is arranged between the conductor inlet 143 and the support portion 145 of the clamping spring 111 in the housing 140. The support portion 145 is constructed in the form of a pin extending from the rear wall 146 of the housing 140. The clamping spring 111 is suspended from the support portion 145 by its arcuate section 141.

[0061] exist Figures 3 to 6 In the illustrated technical solution, the actuating member 129 is integrated into the housing 140. Specifically, the actuating member 129 is supported in the housing 140 and can be linearly guided in the guide opening 147 constructed in the housing 140. The guide opening 147 extends parallel to the conductor inlet 143, such that the actuating direction B of the actuating member 129 is parallel to the insertion direction E of the conductor being inserted into the housing 140.

[0062] from Figure 4 and Figure 6As can be seen, the actuating member 129 is U-shaped and encircles the clamping spring 111. The actuating member 129 has a notch 148, into which the clamping spring 111 is particularly recessed, within the region of its arcuate section 141, such that the actuating member 129 encircles or spans the clamping spring 111. Thus, the actuating member 129 can surround the cover-shaped clamping spring 111. The notch 148 is formed at the center of the actuating member 129. The notch 148 extends from the lower side 149 of the actuating member 129 pointing towards the clamping spring 111 toward the upper side 150 of the actuating member 129. The upper side 150 forms an actuating surface for actuating the actuating member 129.

[0063] The actuating member 129 is constructed in such a way that it has a first actuating finger 151 and a second actuating finger 152 opposite to the first actuating finger 151, wherein a sidewall 152 of the actuating member 129 extends between the first actuating finger 151 and the second actuating finger 152, the sidewall at least partially laterally covering the clamping spring 111. The housing 140 may have only a rear wall 146 and no opposing front wall; therefore, the housing 140 is constructed here to be open on one side, thereby holding the clamping spring 111 in its position at the support 145 by the actuating member 129 or the sidewall 152 of the actuating member 129, thus preventing the clamping spring 111 from slipping out of the housing 140 in the front region of the housing 140 where the housing 140 does not have a wall.

[0064] The lower side 149 of the control member 129 is formed by the two free ends of the control fingers 151 and 152.

[0065] The first operating finger 151 is used to operate the clamping foot 113 of the clamping spring 111. Specifically, the first operating finger 151 directly abuts against the clamping foot 113 and can slide along this clamping foot.
