Series Module Assembly Wall Mounting Bus Rail
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing series module assemblies in drive technology face challenges in securely mounting and power transmission, as the bus system is often solely reliant on the bus rail for mechanical and electrical connections, limiting flexibility and tolerance in installation.
Innovation Solution
A mounting and bus rail system with an insulating U-shaped base profile and adjustable anchoring assemblies allows for secure mechanical attachment of series modules directly to the wall, while the bus rail facilitates power and signal transmission through anchored busbars and plug assemblies, enabling flexible positioning and tolerance compensation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the bus rail is used for both mechanical mounting and power transmission, then the structure is simplified, but the mechanical security and electrical reliability are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into two independent components: a mounting system (mounting bracket, anchoring assemblies) for mechanical support and a bus rail system for electrical power transmission. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function, with the mounting bracket providing secure mechanical attachment and the bus rail ensuring reliable electrical connections without compromising either function.
2Ease of manufacture
If the bus rail is directly mounted to the wall, then the installation is simplified, but the flexibility and tolerance compensation are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The anchoring assemblies incorporate adjustable positioning mechanisms that allow dynamic adaptation to wall surface variations and installation tolerances. The mounting bracket and anchoring assemblies can be positioned at different locations and orientations, providing flexibility to accommodate various wall conditions while maintaining secure mechanical attachment and proper alignment with the bus rail.
3Manufacturing precision
If the series modules are mounted only in one direction parallel to the wall, then the mounting precision is improved, but the installation flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting bracket is designed with multi-functional capabilities, serving both as a mechanical support structure and as a positioning element that guides the series modules during installation. The universal design of the mounting bracket and anchoring assemblies allows them to accommodate modules mounted in a single direction while still providing the flexibility to adapt to different installation scenarios and wall configurations.

AI summary
A series module assembly particularly for drive technology includes a bus system and series modules arranged in side by side in a row on a mounting base. The series modules each have an electronics housing in which at least one electronic element is arranged. The bus system includes busbars that extend outside of the electronics housing, wherein at least one of the busbars can be electrically connected to the electronic element of one of the series modules via a plug assembly. The series module assembly is designed for wall mounting. The bus bars are pre-assembled with a mounting and bus rail and anchored to the wall. The mounting and bus rail is configured so that the series modules can be mounted on the mounting and bus rail in a direction parallel to the wall in order to establish contact with the busbars. The mounting and bus rail can be adjustably mounted at a selected distance from the wall.
