Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrical connection technology, preferably in the field of electric vehicles, and relates to a connection device for a conductor having multiple conductors for transmitting electrical energy and / or electrical signals, preferably a bridging conductor. This invention also relates to a bridging conductor, and an assembly having a connection device and conductors, preferably bridging conductors. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical / electronic terminal instruments or field instruments are used to power electrical / electronic terminal instruments or field instruments, such as in transportation infrastructure technology, industrial building technology, or process industries. These instruments typically operate using three conductive conductors with three-phase alternating current and are connected to the electrical distributor in a star configuration.

[0003] As the number of electrical / electronic terminal instruments or field instruments increases, a so-called energy bus serves as an energy management system to supply sufficient power, where electrical energy is distributed to the individual terminal and field instruments through branches, loops, and / or taps. An example of a possible application of energy bus usage is the addition of overhead lights, barrier devices, lighting equipment (e.g., in the form of streetlights) to public parking lots, and the addition of so-called wall-mounted chargers, particularly for charging electrically driven vehicles (EVs).

[0004] Even with an increase in the number of electrical / electronic terminal devices requiring power, different requirements must be met through the construction of the power bus. Therefore, factors such as material costs, connectivity technologies, space requirements, installation costs, and scalability for implementing communication / network functions are crucial.

[0005] To achieve electrical power transmission, busbars, flat cables with so-called through-hole connection technology (Pierce-Anschlusstechnik), or round cables with so-called crimp connection technology (Crimp-Anschlusstechnik) are used, for example. When transmitting currents up to 1000 amperes, it is problematic how flat cables with through-hole connections, for example, can be used correctly and, especially safely, due to the rigid threaded system contacting the insulation material. Here, particularly with respect to the protective earthing conductor (PE), poor contact may occur. Poor contact can occur not only due to structural limitations but also, for example, primarily due to external loads in the form of vibration and / or temperature fluctuations.

[0006] Means for transmitting electrical energy are known from existing patent literature for connection technology.

[0007] For example, German utility model DE 200 18 693U1 relates to a connecting device having a housing for connecting an electrical conductor of a power supply wire to other electrical conductors, wherein a plurality of connecting elements of a retaining device are arranged within the housing. Knife-shaped terminal contacts (Schneidklemmkontakte) with upper and lower edges are present in the connecting elements. The electrical conductor can be pressed into the connecting elements by means of clamping bolts and tabs arranged above and below the connecting elements through operation of the clamping bolts and the retaining device.

[0008] Furthermore, German utility model DE 20 2008 015 10U1 discloses an assembly comprising multiple interconnected connection devices via seals, which are used to achieve tapping on multiple continuous electrical conductors. Each connection device has a connection module with multiple connecting tabs for contacting the fan-shaped, continuous conductors of a continuous circular cable.

[0009] A connection system for tapping a continuous conductor of a cable with its insulation partially removed is described in European patent document EP 1 764 870 B1. A pre-assembleable connection module is located on a base plate, the module having a module frame with multiple receiving slots. A movably arranged connection piece is located within the receiving slot, the connection piece having fork-shaped contacts pointing towards the base plate and capable of penetrating the insulation. A connection disc is movably arranged in the receiving slot via an actuating device in the form of an eccentric plate.

[0010] For any other known prior art, refer to the following documents: EP 1 914 840 B1, EP 2 359 439 B1, EP 3 706 248 A1 and WO 2020 / 109223 A1. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the objective of this invention is to provide a bridging conductor and an assembly incorporating the connection device and conductors, preferably bridging conductors.

[0012] This task is accomplished by the connection device according to the invention. Other embodiments and applications of this invention are derived from the dependent claims and are set forth in detail in the following description with reference in part to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] According to a first general aspect, the present invention relates to a connection device for connecting a conductor having a plurality of core wires for transmitting electrical energy and / or electrical signals, preferably bridging conductors, or for use therewith, wherein the connection device includes at least one first connecting element for at least one first core wire of the conductor, preferably bridging conductor, and includes at least one second connecting element for at least one second core wire of the conductor, preferably bridging conductor.

[0014] The connection device according to this invention allows for the transmission of electrical energy using, for example, bridging conductors in the form of flat cables, where the required air gap and creepage distance can be maintained or optimized. However, the connection device is not limited to bridging conductors. The conductor can also be constructed, for example, as a round cable, that is, a round conductor with multiple cores. Furthermore, the connection device is characterized by, for example, a customizable connection technology, which improves safety during operation and assembly.

[0015] The connecting device may have two conductor receiving sections configured to, in the assembled state of the connecting device, preferably in the connected state, form receiving areas for receiving conductors, preferably bridging conductors, wherein the receiving areas extend through the connecting device, and / or wherein the receiving areas preferably receive conductors, preferably bridging conductors, substantially in the conductor receiving direction, substantially in form fit and / or substantially in force fit and / or substantially in shape retention.

[0016] The assembly state preferably involves a state in which the conductors, preferably bridging conductors, that is, the corresponding sections of conductors with cores, are not yet (electrically) connected to the connecting device, so that the connecting device together with the conductors can perform the specified and / or set functions, thereby particularly meeting the requirements for functionality and / or safety.

[0017] The connection state preferably involves a state in which the conductor, preferably a bridging conductor, that is, a corresponding section of a conductor having a core wire, is housed in and / or integrally (electrically) connected to the connection device, so that the connection device together with the conductor can perform the specified and / or set functions, thereby particularly meeting the requirements for functionality and / or safety.

[0018] The connecting device can be configured to act as a bridging conductor, specifically according to a signal transmission technology—Power Line Communication (PLC). In other words, the connecting device and / or bridging conductor can be configured to transmit electrical signals via Power Line Communication (“PLC Data Transmission”). The electrical signals may include and / or present information. The electrical signals can be modulated onto the conductor used for transmitting electrical energy; that is, the conductor used for transmitting electrical energy can be configured to modulate the electrical signals.

[0019] The connecting device may be at least partially configured as a network connection device for transmitting signals, and / or include at least one network connection device in the form of, for example, a network interface, and / or be configured to implement a network connection device. The network interface may be configured to transmit electrical signals, for example, according to or at least based on Open Charge Point Protocols (OCPP).

[0020] According to another aspect of the present invention, the receiving area in the view of the connecting device in the direction of wire receiving is characterized by a contour that is substantially consistent with or at least similar to the outer contour of the wire, preferably the bridging wire, in the cross-section of the wire, preferably the bridging wire.

[0021] In other words, the receiving area can be constructed substantially complementary to the section of the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor, to be received, thereby achieving, in particular, a substantially form-fitting and / or substantially shape-preserving reception of the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor. In other words, for example, it is not necessary to geometrically match or modify the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor, in order to be fitted onto a connection device, nor is it necessary to separate the core wires of the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor. The conductor can always maintain its shape as a bridging conductor, and thereby maintain its external construction, which is preferably substantially planar and substantially flat.

[0022] As bridging conductors, and particularly as corresponding sections of bridging conductors, the conductors can be accommodated and / or clamped between two conductor receiving sections in the assembled state of the connecting device, and preferably in the connected state, such that the contact positions, particularly between at least one first core wire and at least one first connecting element, and / or between at least one second core wire and at least one second connecting element, are protected from external influences or load interference, such as dirt, dust, and / or water. Furthermore, it is also ensured, for example, that external relative movement between the conductors, preferably bridging conductors, and the connecting device is not transmitted to the corresponding contact positions. To achieve the clamping connection between the connecting device and the conductors, preferably bridging conductors, each conductor receiving section can, similar to the conductors, preferably bridging conductors, have complementaryly constructed ribs, tabs, shoulders, and / or protrusions.

[0023] Possibly, at least one first connecting element and / or at least one second connecting element are respectively supported translationally in the connecting device, preferably in the first housing of the connecting device, preferably in a direction substantially perpendicular to or inclined to the wire receiving direction; and / or, at least one first connecting element and / or at least one second connecting element each include a separate operating element configured to move and / or support at least one first connecting element and / or at least one second connecting element in the connecting device, preferably in the first housing, preferably by means of a tool, preferably moving toward and / or away from the corresponding core wire.

[0024] Therefore, in the connection device according to the present invention, simple support and simple operation can be achieved, which, for example, makes the connection device structure compact and robust.

[0025] According to another aspect of the present invention, at least one first connecting element may be configured to separate, preferably cut, the insulating sheath of at least one first core wire, and / or to clamp the conductor of at least one first core wire; and / or, at least one second connecting element may be configured to separate, preferably cut, the insulating sheath of at least one second core wire, and / or to clamp the conductor of at least one second core wire. Therefore, the connecting device is characterized by knife-type terminal connection technology.

[0026] Possibly, the connecting device includes a first housing member and a second housing member, the first housing member having a first wire receiving section for receiving and / or supporting wires, preferably bridging a first side of the wires, and the second housing member having a second wire receiving section for receiving and / or supporting wires, preferably bridging a second side of the wires, wherein preferably, the first housing member and / or the second housing member are respectively configured substantially as plate-shaped, shell-shaped and / or basin-shaped.

[0027] The connecting device according to this utility model features a housing constructed in two parts.

[0028] According to another aspect of the present invention, the first housing member and the second housing member are configured to form a sealed connection with each other in the connected state of the connecting device, so as to substantially seal at least one first core wire through the contact of at least one first connecting element and / or at least one second core wire through the contact of at least one second connecting element relative to the surrounding environment of the connecting device.

[0029] This can substantially prevent or at least significantly reduce the entry of harmful media, such as dirt, dust and / or water, into the contact area of ​​the connection device, which in particular ensures the safety and functionality of the connection device and extends its service life.

[0030] Possibly, the first conductor receiving section and the second conductor receiving section each include at least one first core wire receiving channel for receiving at least one first core wire in the connected state of the connecting device, and the first conductor receiving section and the second conductor receiving section each include at least one second core wire receiving channel for receiving at least one second core wire in the connected state of the connecting device, wherein at least one first core wire receiving channel and at least one second core wire receiving channel extend substantially along the conductor receiving direction, preferably along the first housing member and the second housing member, respectively.

[0031] This also ensures, for example, that the corresponding side of the insulating sheath of the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor, can be inserted or arranged in the housing during the assembly process.

[0032] According to another aspect of this invention, the first housing member and the second housing member can be configured to be movably coupled relative to each other by means of a support device, preferably pivotally coupled relative to each other, and form a folding mechanism. The connecting device can be constructed to be foldable, that is, constructed to be an unfoldable and snap-fit ​​connecting device. The limited movement of the first housing member can be realized by the support device, which simplifies operation and assembly.

[0033] Possibly, the first housing component and the second housing component are configured to, in the assembled state of the connecting device, preferably in the connected state, construct at least one detachable plug-in connection and / or locking connection and / or at least one detachable threaded connection, so that when constructing the at least one detachable plug-in connection and / or locking connection and / or at least one releasable threaded connection, respectively, contact of at least one first core wire through at least one first connecting element, and / or contact of at least one second core wire through at least one second connecting element is achieved by operation.

[0034] Therefore, the safety of the connection device according to this utility model can be further improved. For example, the connection element can be operated only when the housing parts are connected to each other in accordance with regulations by means of a detachable plug-in connection and / or a locking connection. Thus, for example, misuse or incorrect operation of the connection device can be avoided. Preferably, the detachable plug-in connection and / or locking connection can be constructed in the pivoting and / or locking state.

[0035] According to another aspect of the present invention, the first housing member may include at least one first guide groove for guiding at least one first connecting element and at least one second guide groove for guiding at least one second connecting element, wherein at least one first guide groove and / or at least one second guide groove extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to or inclined to the wire receiving direction, and / or wherein at least one first guide groove and / or at least one second guide groove are at least partially configured as slits.

[0036] According to another aspect of the present invention, the first conductor receiving section and / or the second conductor receiving section may each include at least one coding groove for substantially form-fittingly receiving at least one coding section and / or at least one coding patch of the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor, so that, in the connected state of the connecting device, the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor, is received and / or housed on the connecting device in a defined arrangement, preferably substantially form-fitting, relative to the connecting device, wherein preferably at least one coding groove extends substantially in the conductor receiving direction.

[0037] The at least one coding slot may have a cross-section that is substantially complementary to the coding segment to be accommodated by the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor, for example, a rectangular or triangular cross-section. Additionally or alternatively, the at least one coding slot may be constructed for at least one coding patch to be accommodated by the conductor, preferably the bridging conductor, and / or have a cross-section that is substantially complementary to it.

[0038] This ensures, for example, that the conductors, preferably bridging conductors, can be assembled into and / or into the assembly equipment according to a defined and / or desired arrangement. This, for example, allows for polarity reversal protection during assembly and avoids connector confusion.

[0039] It is possible that the second housing component is configured for mounting on a wall, and / or for mounting a wall-mounted charger for the charging process of an electric vehicle, the wall-mounted charger being configured for electrical connection with a connecting device.

[0040] Connection devices and, in particular, the second housing component can also be constructed for assembly in a switch box.

[0041] The connection device may be configured, for example, to form at least one threaded connection, at least one plug-in connection, and / or at least one latching connection with a wall and / or a wall-mounted charger and / or a switch box.

[0042] The connection device can be used not only in internal areas but also in external areas, and is exposed to weather conditions, for example.

[0043] According to a second general aspect, the present invention relates to a bridging conductor having a plurality of cores for transmitting electrical energy and / or electrical signals, wherein the bridging conductor is configured to be housed in and / or connected to a connection device as disclosed herein, wherein at least two of the plurality of cores, preferably at least two of the plurality of cores being adjacent to each other, are spaced apart from each other and / or connected to each other by tabs.

[0044] Each core wire may include a conductor and an insulating sheath, wherein the insulating sheath surrounds or encapsulates the conductor. At least one conductor, or preferably all conductors, of the bridging wire may be constructed of a conductive material based on aluminum and / or aluminum alloys. It is possible that at least one core wire, or preferably all core wires, is constructed at least segmentally with a shape-stable, preferably sufficiently rigid, configuration. Thus, for example, compared to flexible round conductors, i.e., round cables with conductors made of copper, the cost can be reduced by approximately one-third.

[0045] According to another aspect of the present invention, the bridging conductor may have at least one coded segment and / or at least one coded tab for assembling the bridging conductor in a defined manner on and / or within a connecting device. The at least one coded segment is constructed on a first core wire, preferably on an outer core wire or located on an outer core wire, and extends substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the bridging conductor. The at least one coded segment is configured to be substantially form-fitted and received in at least one coded slot of the connecting device, so that, in the assembled state of the connecting device, the bridging conductor is arranged in a defined manner on the connecting device. And / or, the at least one coded tab has a different width relative to at least one other tab, and the at least one coded tab is configured to be substantially form-fitted and received in at least one coded slot of the connecting device, so that, in the assembled state of the connecting device, the bridging conductor is arranged in a defined manner on the connecting device.

[0060] Identical or functionally equivalent parts or elements are designated with the same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings. To avoid repetition, the explanation of these parts or elements also refers in part to the description of other embodiments and / or drawings.

[0061] The following detailed description of the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings is for further illustration or explanation and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any way.

[0062] Figure 1 A perspective view shows an assembly having a first embodiment of the connection device 1 according to the invention and having a portion of a conductor L configured as a bridging conductor L, wherein the connection device 1 and the bridging conductor L are in a first assembled state.

[0063] The first assembly state preferably involves a state in which the bridging conductor L, i.e., the corresponding sections of the bridging conductor L having core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5, have not yet been accommodated in the connecting device 1, and / or have not yet been (electrically) connected to the connecting device 1, so as to enable the connecting device 1 together with the bridging conductor L to perform the set and / or specified functions, thereby primarily satisfying the requirements for functionality and / or safety.

[0064] For simplicity, in the following text, the term "bridging conductor L" is used for or refers to the section of bridging conductor L to be arranged or arranged in the connecting device 1. According to the invention, conductor L can also be constructed differently, for example, as a circular conductor having multiple cores L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5. In other words, the connecting device 1 according to the invention is not limited to connecting bridging conductors L.

[0065] The bridging conductor L, as a flat cable, comprises multiple core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5, used for transmitting electrical energy and / or electrical signals. Therefore, the bridging conductor L is a multi-core electrical conductor in the form of a flat ribbon. Each core wire L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5 comprises, for example, a single-core or stranded conductor made of conductive material. The conductive material can be based on copper, copper alloys, aluminum, and / or aluminum alloys. Each conductor L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 is surrounded or wrapped by a sheath made of an electrically insulating (non-conductive) material (insulating material), i.e., by an insulating sheath M1, M2, M3, M4, M5. The electrically insulating material can be based on polymer plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride, or on elastomeric plastics, such as rubber. Preferably, the electrical insulating material is a cuttable or separable material.

[0066] The core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5 are spaced apart from each other and / or connected to each other via contacts S1, S2, S3, and S4, respectively. Each contact S1, S2, S3, and S4 is preferably also constructed of insulating material and is integrally connected to the adjacent insulating sheaths M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 as a whole and / or in a material-compatible manner.

[0067] The characteristics of the bridging conductor L with respect to its extension and / or its orientation may lie in the extension direction ER of the generated bridging conductor, with core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5 extending along the extension direction of the bridging conductor.

[0068] The connecting device 1 includes connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 for bridging conductors L or for connecting bridging conductors. The number of connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 corresponds to the core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4 of the bridging conductor L.

[0069] The number of L5 and M5. In the illustrated embodiment, similar to the five core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5 of the bridging conductor, the connecting device 1 includes five connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350.

[0070] The connecting device 1 is characterized by a conductor receiving direction AR, which fixes the bridging conductors L, i.e., core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5, to the connecting device 1 and / or relative to the connecting device 1. Within the area of ​​the connecting device 1, the bridging conductor extension direction ER is substantially parallel to the conductor receiving direction AR.

[0071] In connection device 1, the connecting elements 310 and 320; 320 and 330; 330 and 340; 340 and 350, which are adjacent to each other, are arranged at least spaced apart from each other in the conductor receiving direction AR. In other words, the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 are arranged staggered from each other. Therefore, the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 are not arranged in a (unique) row, which is a characteristic of connection device 1. As a result, connection device 1 is also characterized by, for example, increased or optimized air gaps and creepage distances, which are accompanied by improved safety.

[0072] In order to contact each core wire L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5, that is, each conductor L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 corresponding to the core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5 respectively, can be independently supported in the connecting device 1, which will be described in more detail below.

[0073] The connecting device 1 is characterized by a two-piece housing, comprising a first housing member 100 and a second housing member 200. The first housing member 100 includes a first conductor receiving section 101, which is used, preferably in the connected state of the connecting device 1, to receive and / or support a first side of a section of the bridging conductor L. The second housing member 200 includes a second conductor receiving section 201, which is used, preferably in the connected state of the connecting device 1, to receive and / or support a second side of a section of the bridging conductor L. The second side of the bridging conductor L is the side opposite to the first side of the bridging conductor L.

[0074] The connection state preferably involves a state in which the bridging conductor L, i.e., the corresponding sections of the bridging conductor L having core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5, are accommodated in the connection device 1 and / or integrally (electrically) connected to the connection device 1 so as to enable the connection device 1 together with the bridging conductor L to perform the functions that conform to the settings and / or regulations, thereby primarily satisfying the requirements for functionality and / or safety.

[0075] The two conductor receiving sections 101 and 201 are configured to, in the assembled state of the connecting device 1 and the bridging conductor L, and preferably in the connected state, constitute a receiving area 2 for receiving the section of the bridging conductor L, wherein the receiving area 2 extends and / or completely extends through the connecting device 1. The receiving area 2 in... Figure 2 The symbols and markings are indicated schematically by dashed lines.

[0076] Preferably, the receiving area 2 receives the section of the bridging conductor L substantially in the conductor receiving direction AR, substantially in a form fit and substantially in a force fit, i.e. clamping and / or substantially in a shape-retaining manner.

[0077] The connecting device 1 is configured to accommodate the bridging conductor L in a shape-constant manner, i.e., to accommodate the section of the bridging conductor L in a shape-constant manner. Therefore, the core wires of the bridging conductor L are L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4;

[0078] L5 and M5 do not need to be separated and spatially isolated from each other for connection to connection device 1, i.e., connection elements 310, 320, 330, 340, 350. The bridging wire L and especially the section of the bridging wire L basically retain their original shape.

[0079] The receiving area 2, as seen in the view of the connecting device 1 along the conductor receiving direction AR, is characterized by having a profile that substantially coincides with or at least approximates the outer contour of the bridging conductor L in its cross-section. The connecting device 1 will be explained in more detail below.

[0080] The first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 are each constructed of an electrically insulating (non-conductive) material (insulating material), preferably based on plastic. The first housing member 100 and / or the second housing member 200 can be manufactured individually by at least one casting process and / or by at least one injection molding process. Additionally or alternatively, the first housing member 100 and / or the second housing member 200 may be manufactured by at least one sintering process and / or by at least one 3D printing process.

[0081] In this embodiment of the connecting device 1, both the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 are shell-shaped. In alternative embodiments, the first housing member 100 and / or the second housing member 200 may also be plate-shaped or basin-shaped.

[0082] The first housing 100, i.e., the first conductor receiving section 101, includes five conductor receiving channels 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150 for accommodating the individual conductors L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; and L5, M5, i.e., the individual insulating sheaths M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5. The second housing 200, i.e., the second conductor receiving section 201, similarly includes five conductor receiving channels as the first conductor receiving section 101, except that only the conductor receiving channel 210 for conductors L1 and M1 is visible and marked in the accompanying drawings.

[0083] Each core wire receiving channel 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 and 210 extends substantially along the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 respectively in the conductor receiving direction AR, that is, from one end of each housing member 100, 200 to the opposite end of each housing member 100, 200.

[0084] Each core wire receiving channel 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, and 210 is constructed complementary to the outer surface to be received and / or supported by the respective insulating sheaths M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5. As can be seen from the accompanying drawings, the respective insulating sheaths M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 are partially constructed in cross-section as substantially circular or substantially semi-circular. Alternatively, the insulating sheaths M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5 and / or the respective core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, and M5 may be constructed integrally as elliptical or angular. Therefore, the core wire receiving channels 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 and 210 are used to guide the respective core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5 on and / or in the connecting device 1 substantially along the direction of the wire receiving direction AR.

[0085] The first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 are movably coupled relative to each other by means of a support device 3, preferably in the form of a hinge. Preferably, the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 are pivotally coupled relative to each other, thereby forming a flipping mechanism. In other words, housing members 100 and 200 are pivotally deployable and / or pivotally engageable relative to each other. In an alternative embodiment of the connecting device 1, the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 are not movably coupled relative to each other by the support device 3, but are instead configured as separate parts, at least for forming a plug-in connection in the plugging direction.

[0086] In the connected state, the core wire connection channels 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150 of the first conductor receiving section 101 and the core wire connection channel 210 of the second conductor receiving section 201 are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart from each other for their respective corresponding core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5.

[0087] Furthermore, the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 are configured to form a sealed connection with each other in the connected state of the connecting device 1, so as to seal the core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5 with respect to the surrounding environment of the connecting device 1 through the contact of the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, 350.

[0088] To achieve a sealed connection, an elastomeric seal, for example, can be used within the first wire receiving section 101 and the second wire receiving section 201. The first wire receiving section 101 may include a sealing element 160, and the second wire receiving section 201 may include a sealing element 260, to establish a sealed connection between the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 in the connected state. This can prevent or at least significantly reduce the ingress of harmful media, such as dirt, dust, and / or water, into the contact area of ​​the connecting device 1, which in particular ensures the safety and functionality of the connecting device 1 and extends its service life.

[0089] For other instructions on connecting device 1, please refer to the other appendices. Figure 2 and 3 .

[0090] Figure 2 The perspective view shows the results based on Figure 1 The connecting device 1 and the bridging conductor L are in a second assembly state. The bridging conductor L, i.e., the corresponding section of the bridging conductor L, is essentially shaped-fitted and housed in the connecting device 1 through the housing area 2 formed by conductor housing sections 101 and 201. However, the bridging conductor has not yet been connected to the connecting device 1, and subsequently to the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350. In other words, the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 have not yet been connected to the core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3;

[0091] L4, M4; L5, M5, i.e., conductors L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 are in contact. Connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 are in the initial position.

[0092] The first housing member 100 swings toward the second housing member 200 by means of a support device 3 and forms a detachable locking connection 4 with the second housing member 200. The detachable locking connection 4 can be achieved, for example, by means of at least one hook on the second housing member 200 and a snap fastener on the first housing member 100, with the hook engaging with the snap fastener. For clarity, the components and elements of the detachable locking connection 4 are not marked in detail in the drawings. The locking connection 4 serves more or less as a closure for the connecting device 1 and is preferably used as an assembly aid, particularly when the connecting device 1, and consequently the bridging wire L, is mounted, for example, to a wall.

[0093] Each connecting element 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 is preferably supported in the connecting device 1, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the wire receiving direction AR, in a translational, i.e. linearly movable manner, in the first housing 100 in this embodiment.

[0094] The support and / or guidance of connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 within or in the first housing 100 are achieved by means of guide grooves 111, 121, 131, 141, and 151, in which the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 are located. The guide grooves 111, 121, 131, 141, and 151 extend substantially perpendicular to the wire receiving direction AR and converge to the tool-accessible outer side of the first housing 100. Each guide groove 111, 121, 131, 141, and 151 is constructed as a slit and / or characterized by a substantially slit-shaped cross-section. Here, the cross-section may have a rectangular shape. In an alternative embodiment, the guide grooves 111, 121, 131, 141, and 151 may extend in a direction inclined to the wire receiving direction AR.

[0095] Each connecting element 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 includes a separate operating element 313, 323, 333, 343, 353, which is configured to move and / or support each connecting element 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 by means of a tool, preferably moving toward and / or away from the corresponding core wire (L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5).

[0096] In other words, by means of operating elements 313, 323, 333, 343, 353, connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 can be translated in two opposite directions and / or supported on the first housing 100 in two opposite directions during the operation of operating elements 313, 323, 333, 343, 353.

[0097] Operating elements 313, 323, 333, 343, and 353 can preferably be constructed as bolts with external threads and internal hexagonal profiles, and more preferably as headless bolts with internal hexagonal profiles. Therefore, operation of operating elements 313, 323, 333, 343, and 353 can be performed by applying torque, and thus by rotating operating elements 313, 323, 333, 343, and 353. Operating elements 313, 323, 333, 343, and 353 can be supported on corresponding internal threads of the first housing member 100, which are not detailed in the drawings for clarity.

[0098] Figure 3 It shows according to Figure 2 The connecting device 1 and the bridging wire L are shown, wherein, for further clarification, the first housing part 100 of the connecting device 1 is hidden.

[0099] Each connecting element 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 is configured with corresponding insulating sheaths M1, M2, M3, M4, M5 for separating and preferably cutting the core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5, and for clamping the individual core wires L1, M1; L2, M2;

[0100] The conductors L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 of L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5. In other words, each connecting element 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 respectively includes contact forks 311, 321, 331, 341, and 351 in the form of knife-shaped terminal forks (Schneid-Klemm-Gabel), which are configured for separation, preferably cutting, and (subsequently) clamping the corresponding core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5, i.e., the exposed conductors L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5. In other words, the connecting device 1 is characterized by insulation displacement connection technology, i.e., IDC connection technology (an abbreviation for "Insulation Displacement Connector").

[0101] exist Figure 3The diagram shows operating element 323 and connecting element 320 in an operated connected state, with the conductor L2 partially exposed due to the insulating sheath M2 being separated (through) or cut by the contact fork 321, resulting in the contact core wires L2 and M2. Each operating element 313, 323, 333, 343, 353 is correspondingly received and / or supported on and / or in the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, thereby achieving support of the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 on the first housing 100 through the threaded connection of the operating elements 313, 323, 333, 343, 353 to the first housing 100 in the assembled state and / or preferably in the connected state (see for details). Figure 2 ).

[0102] Each connecting element 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 includes contact pins 312, 322, 332, 342, 352, respectively, for (electrically) connecting to a contact element (preferably a socket contact element), i.e., a plug connector 500 for further transmitting electrical energy and / or electrical signals. Figure 7 The image shows an example of a plug connector 500 in the form of a jack contact element, together with connecting element 310 and core wires L1 and M1.

[0103] Combination Figures 1 to 3 It is understood that, preferably, the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 can only be operated to contact conductors L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5 when the locking connection 4 is formed, and particularly preferably when at least one threaded connection (not shown in the drawings for clarity) is additionally formed between the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200. In other words, the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 can only be operated during and / or after the locking connection between the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 is formed, so that by operation, the connecting elements can connect to the corresponding core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4 of the bridging conductor L.

[0104] L5 and M5 contacts. Therefore, the features of the connecting device 1 during operation and / or assembly include, for example, improved safety.

[0105] Figure 4 As the preferred and most representative view, the front view (main view) shows the data according to... Figure 2 The connection device 1 and the bridging wire L.

[0106] It can be clearly seen that the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350 are constructed substantially flat and / or substantially plate-like, and that these connecting elements are supported and / or guided in guide slots 111, 121, 131, 141, and 151 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the wire receiving direction AR.

[0107] In this view, the first housing member 100 and the second housing member 200 are characterized by a substantially rectangular outline.

[0108] In the engaged state of housing parts 100 and 200, the first housing part 100 can be detachably fixed to the second housing part 200 by at least one threaded connection.

[0109] The bridging conductor L is preferably configured to transmit electrical energy in the form of three-phase alternating current. Therefore, for example, cores L1, M1; L2, M2 and L5, M5 represent phase conductors L1, L2 and L5, cores L3, M3 represent protective conductors (protective grounding conductors), and cores L4, M4 represent neutral conductors (neutral wire). The bridging conductor L can, for example, transmit currents with intensities between approximately 16 amperes and approximately 1000 amperes, or, by correspondingly determining the dimensions of conductors L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, currents with intensities greater than 1000 amperes can be transmitted. The cross-sectional area of ​​conductors L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 can, for example, be from approximately 2.5 mm². 2 Up to approximately 100mm 2 Within the range.

[0110] Figure 5 Showing according to Figure 4 The connecting device 1 is connected to the bridging wire L and the plug connector 400, which is mounted on the first housing 100, for example, by means of at least one threaded connection. It goes without saying that a sealed connection can also be constructed between the first housing 100 and the plug connector 400 to thereby prevent or at least significantly reduce the entry of harmful media, such as dirt, dust, and / or water, into the areas of the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, and 350.

[0111] Figure 6 The perspective view shows the results based on Figure 5 The connection device 1 is connected to the bridging wire L and the plug connector 400.

[0112] As can be clearly seen, the basin-shaped structure of the housing of the plug connector 400 has an opening 401, which can be closed, for example by means of a threaded closure, for receiving and connecting cables, so as to further transmit electrical energy and / or electrical signals via the contact pins 312, 322, 332, 342, 352 of the connecting elements 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 (see...). Figure 2, 3 4 and 7).

[0113] Figure 7 A section or portion of the core wires L1 and M1 of the bridging conductor L is shown, along with the connecting element 310 of the connecting device 1. The connecting element 310 is in a connected state such that the contact fork 311 of the connecting element 310 contacts the conductor L1 of the core wires L1 and M1. Due to the operation of the operating element 313, and consequently, due to the movement of the contact fork 311 toward the core wires L1 and M1, the conductor L1 is separated from, and preferably cut, by the insulating sheath M1, thus partially exposing the conductor L1. For further explanation, the contact piece S1 is concealed.

[0114] In addition, Figure 7 The diagram shows a plug connector 500, a clamping contact element in the form of a jack contact element, which forms a clamping plug connection with a contact pin 312 and contacts the contact pin. The plug connector 500 can be used as a jack connection element for connecting terminal instruments, such as wall-mounted chargers.

[0115] Figure 8 An embodiment of the bridging conductor L according to the present invention is shown in a cross-sectional view and a simplified diagram.

[0116] The bridging conductor L is constructed as a flat cable and includes five core wires L1, M1; L2, M2; L3, M3; L4, M4; L5, M5. Each core wire has an electrical conductor L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 in the form of a single core or stranded wire, and an insulating sheath M1, M2, M3, M4, M5. The core wires are arranged in rows and connected to each other by means of corresponding tabs S1, S2, S3, S4, and are spaced apart from each other.

[0117] Furthermore, the bridging conductor L includes a first coded segment C1 and a second coded segment C2. The first coded segment C1 is constructed on the core wires L1 and M1, i.e., on the insulating sheath M1, and the second coded segment C2 is constructed on the core wires L5 and M5, i.e., on the insulating sheath M5. Each coded segment C1 and C2 extends substantially perpendicular to the extension direction ER of the bridging conductor, particularly extending with different lengths and / or different thicknesses. The coded segments C1 and C2 are used to assemble the bridging conductor L onto and / or into the connecting device 1 without confusion and / or to avoid confusion.

[0118] The different designs of the coding sections C1 and C2 prevent the bridging wire L, and especially the section of the bridging wire L set for the connecting device 1, from being assembled in an incorrect arrangement, which would lead to incorrect or undesirable contact.

[0119] exist Figures 1 to 6In the embodiment of the connecting device 1 shown, housing members 100 and 200 include coding slots 171 and 172 respectively in the regions of the corresponding conductor receiving sections 101 and 201. These coding slots extend substantially in the conductor receiving direction AR beside and / or adjacent to the conductor receiving channels 110 and 150 (see [link to documentation]). Figure 1 The coding slot of the second housing component 200 is not visible in the attached drawing.

[0120] The coding slots 171 and 172 are constructed complementaryly to the coding sections C1 and C2, thereby ensuring that during the assembly of the bridging conductor L, the bridging conductor L is accommodated substantially in a form-fitting manner only in a defined and / or desired arrangement. This provides, for example, protection against polarity reversal during assembly and avoids confusion of connectors.

[0121] Furthermore, it is possible that, due to the material characteristics of the coding sections C1 and C2 (which are preferably materials corresponding to the insulating sheaths M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5), the coding slots 171 and 172 together with the coding sections C1 and C2, preferably in the connected state of the connecting device 1, form an additional sealed connection.

[0122] In an alternative embodiment of the bridging conductor L, it can be configured that there are no coded segments C1, C2, and the patch, for example patch S1, is constructed as a coded patch, which differs from the other patches S2, S3, S4, for example, in its width perpendicular to the conductor extension direction ER, and thus similarly ensures that the bridging conductor is arranged in or on the connecting device 1 in a defined and / or desired manner. Figure 1 In this embodiment, an encoding slot 173 is constructed in a manner complementary to that of the bridging conductor L, the encoding slot extending along or in the conductor receiving direction AR.

[0123] This invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Various variations and modifications are possible, all of which utilize the concept of this invention and therefore fall within its scope of protection. Preferably, this invention also claims protection for the subject matter and features of the dependent claims independent of the cited claims.
