AI Technical Summary
Existing conductor connection terminals with rotatably mounted clamping bodies require pre-opening and are prone to automatic release due to vibrations, leading to insecure clamping and operational challenges.
The conductor connection terminal incorporates a displacement mounting mechanism, allowing the clamping body to be both rotatable and displaceable relative to the connection body, with an eccentric design and optional torsion spring for secure clamping without pre-opening, featuring a pivot bearing and optional retaining spring for enhanced stability.
Enables direct and secure clamping of electrical conductors without pre-opening, preventing automatic release under vibration, ensuring reliable and stable connections.

[2] Conductor terminal according to claim 1, characterized by that the clamping body (5) can be positioned at a variable distance from the clamping point (30) by means of the sliding bearing. [3] Conductor terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the rotary bearing has a rotation axis (61) around which the clamping body (5) can rotate. [4] Conductor connection terminal according to claim 3, characterized by that the sliding bearing has a bearing element (7) with an elongated hole (71), wherein the axis of rotation (61) is arranged displaceably in the elongated hole (71) of the bearing element (7). [5] Conductor connection terminal according to one of claims 3 to 4, characterized by that the clamping body (5) is eccentrically shaped with respect to a rotation about its axis of rotation (61) in the conductor insertion direction (L) of the electrical conductor (9) into the conductor connection terminal (1) and / or is eccentrically shaped with respect to a rotation about its axis of rotation (61) opposite to the conductor insertion direction (L). [6] Conductor connection terminal according to one of claims 3 to 5, characterized by that the elongated hole (71) has a detent with several detent positions (70) in each of which the rotational axis (61) can be latched. [7] Conductor connection terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat the clamping body (5) has a plurality of teeth (50) at least on its surface side directed towards the clamping point (30) of the connecting body (3). [8] Conductor terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the clamping body (5) has an outer contour directed towards the clamping point (30) which is convexly curved. [9] Conductor terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the clamping body (5) is designed as a metallic clamping body. [10] Conductor terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the conductor connection terminal (1) has a retaining spring (4) by means of which the clamping body (5) is spring-loaded in the direction of the clamping point (30). [11] Conductor terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the conductor connection terminal (1) has a rotation lock (6) by means of which a set rotation position of the clamping body (5) can be held. [12] Conductor connection terminal according to claim 11, characterized by that the rotary lock (6) has a rotary detent (60) by means of which a set rotary position of the clamping body (5) can be held in predetermined detent steps. [13] Conductor terminal according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the clamping body (5) is rotatably mounted via a backstop, wherein the backstop prevents rotation of the clamping body (5) in one direction of rotation.
