Power Distributor Mounting Plate Pre-Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complex wiring process in conventional power distributors, such as switch cabinets, requires significant assembly time due to the need for on-site electrical connections between functional components, which complicates the installation process.
Innovation Solution
A dimensionally stable connecting device, like a plastic rod or strip with recesses, allows end sections of connecting conductors to be bent outwards for easy assembly, enabling pre-assembly of connecting conductors on the mounting plate, with predetermined breaking points for individual component connections, and a removable protective cap for safety and protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If wiring is performed on-site with individual connecting conductors, then electrical functional components can be connected flexibly, but assembly time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting conductors are pre-assembled on the mounting plate before the actual installation of electrical functional components. The end sections of the connecting conductors are guided through contacting recesses and protrude from the front side, preparing all electrical connections in advance so that only simple plugging operations are needed during on-site assembly, thereby dramatically reducing assembly time while maintaining connection flexibility
2Ease of manufacture
If multiple connecting conductors are arranged individually on the mounting plate, then electrical connections can be established, but the front side becomes cluttered and assembly is impeded
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting conductors are routed through the mounting plate structure by guiding their end sections through contacting recesses from the rear side to the front side. This three-dimensional routing approach allows the connecting conductors to be arranged systematically within the plate structure rather than loosely on the surface, keeping the front side clear and accessible while maintaining ease of electrical connection through the protruding end sections

AI summary
The invention relates to a power distributor comprising a housing and a mounting plate (1), which is arranged within the housing, for mounting electrical functional components (6). The mounting plate (1) has a front side (3) for arranging the electrical functional components (6) and a rear side which faces a housing rear wall and is situated opposite the front side (3). The mounting plate (1) has, starting from the front side (3), a plurality of contact-making recesses (4) which run in the direction of the rear side. Electrical contact-making elements (5) for making contact with electrical functional components (6) are arranged in the region of the contact-making recesses (4). Individual contact-making elements (5) are electrically conductively connected to one another by means of electrical connecting conductors (2). The connecting conductors (2) are arranged fully between the rear side and the housing rear wall.
