Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical terminal for connecting at least one conductor and in particular an electrical terminal, which is also suitable for connecting conductors with large cross-sections.
  • various terminals have become known, which are suitable for the connection of conductors of large diameter.
  • conductors with large cross-sections can be connected to screw terminals.
  • the conductor is clamped to the electrical terminal via a screw connection.
  • a disadvantage of screw terminals is usually that a simple swinging a stripped conductor from above is not readily possible. This leads in particular to large and solid conductors to the fact that the assembly is considerably more difficult because the conductor has to be bent over and inserted axially from the front into the screw terminal before the conductor can be clamped.
  • the clamping lever comprises a plurality of clamping springs and a clamping foot at the end of the clamping springs to clamp a recorded conductor to the current bar.
  • the Clamping lever is connected to a hand lever over which the actuation takes place.
  • the known terminal works basically satisfactory.
  • the hand lever at the front end on a tool holder into which, for example, a screwdriver can be inserted to operate the terminal with relatively small forces can.
  • the known terminal basically works satisfactorily, in some installation situations, the operation can be difficult

  • an inner diameter 109a of the tool opening 109 in the clamping spring is provided with a larger diameter than the inner diameter 132a of the receiving opening 132 in the plastic insert 118.
  • the clamping spring 101 can be provided for use with different insert devices 118 or with plastic inserts with different receiving openings 132 , This allows the provision of different terminals 100, in which only the insert 118 differs and thus changes the operating angle.
  • Fig. 11 schematically shows two different angles, which are exemplified by arrows 133 are drawn.
  • the clamping lever 102 has two parallel side walls, between which the clamping edge 122 is provided. Also the Clamping lever 102 is designed here as a one-piece stamped and bent part.
  • a groove 116 is provided, in which a rod-shaped push-through protection 117 is executed, which is received in corresponding lateral openings in the walls 123 of the holder 108.

  • a groove 131 is provided in the current bar 110, which is arranged where the clamping edge 122 presses an inserted conductor 126 against the current bar 110.
  • conductor 126 can deform into the groove 131 during the clamping process, so that an effective pull-out protection can be ensured.
  • the first axle receptacle 127 can be seen cut on the first leg 136 of the clamping spring 101.
  • the second axle receptacle 128 can be seen cut, which surrounds the axis 112 of the first rotary unit 129 of the auxiliary lever 104.

  • the tool opening 109 can be seen.
  • the auxiliary lever 104 engages with the cross connector 105, the second leg 137 of the clamping spring 101.
  • the clamping lever 102 has the right here aligned clamping edge 122 which engages in the clamping state in the groove 131 or presses a conductor against the groove 131 of the current bar 110.
  • FIG. 11 schematically a cable 125 is shown with an electrical conductor 126.
  • FIGS. 11 to 13 Various parts of the electrical terminal 100 have been omitted in order to better illustrate the function. So was in the FIGS. 11 to 13 the terminal housing 150 is omitted, as well as the holder 108. It should be noted, however, that the clamping lever 102 is fixedly connected to the holder 108 via the first pivot axis 113.
  • the second rotary unit 130 of the auxiliary lever 104 is supported with the round outer shape 107 at the correspondingly round recess 106 of the holder 108 here fixed, namely on the not shown here round recess 106 in the bracket 108th
  • a housing 501 of an electrical construction device 500 is shown in a very schematic and dashed manner in order to illustrate the movement sequences.
  • the opening angle 146 between the current bar 110 and the clamping edge 122 of the clamping lever 102 is here more than 75 ° and almost 90 °. Depending on the geometric design of the clamping lever 102, the opening angle 146 can be selected even larger. As a rule, however, this opening angle 146 is sufficient to be particularly rigid To be able to pivot in ladder 126 with large cross sections in the pivoting region 115 from above.
  • FIG. 11 shows FIG. 12 an intermediate state in which the clamping lever 102 has already been significantly pivoted. This is done by introducing a tool into the tool opening 109 on the clamping spring 101 and in the illustration according to FIG FIGS. 11 to 13 is pivoted clockwise.
  • the pivoting virtually powerless, since the distance between the two legs 136 and 137 of the clamping spring 101 is not or almost not changed and thus the spring tension practically does not change. This achieves a pleasant operation.
  • FIG. 13 shows the clamping state 145.
  • the clamping edge 122 is located in FIG. 13 in the groove 131 of the current bar 110 at.
  • the clamping spring 101 is tensioned, wherein the distance of the first leg 136 from the second leg 137 widens. Due to the stable clamping spring 101, therefore, a high clamping force is generated.
  • FIGS. 11 to 13 A comparison of FIGS. 11 to 13 shows that the actuator 103 in the contact position 145 after Fig. 13 to a greater extent on the first side 142 than in the open position 144 in FIG Fig. 11 in that the actuating device 103 at least partially and the clamping spring 101 even extends to the most essential part through the wall duct 154 on the second side 143 back.
  • the actuating device 103 and in particular the clamping spring 101 in the open position 144 at least partially immerse in the housing 501 of the electrical device.
  • In the open position 144 is a substantial part on the second side 142 and thus within the housing 501. In this case, there is a significant proportion of the volume, the mass and also the cross-sectional area on the second side 143.
  • the actuator 103 In the contact position 145, the actuator 103 remains substantially or even completely on the first side or outside 142.
  • the construction volume of the terminal can be significantly reduced. Part of the required volume is used on the inside of an electrical appliance where there is usually enough room. In particular, if on the second side of the terminal another connection is provided. It is possible z. B. that the current bar continues directly.
  • FIG. 13 In FIG. 13 is shown a self-inhibited state.
  • a dead center was exceeded, so that in the clamping state 145, the clamping spring 101 is slightly relaxed relative to the maximum bias. This achieves a stable state.
  • the self-inhibited State is here recognizable by the fact that the connecting line 119 between the axis 112 and the second pivot axis 114 just below the center of the hole 111 and the virtual axis of rotation of the second rotary unit 130 of the auxiliary lever 104 runs.
  • the clamping spring 101 when transferring the electrical connection terminal into the opening state 144, the clamping spring 101 must first be preloaded in order to overcome the dead center.
  • the second pivot axis 114 is in Fig. 13 shown dashed, since it is behind the second rotary unit 130 of the auxiliary lever 104 and thus would not actually be visible in this illustration.
  • the terminal is row capable and can be made of simple components.
  • the executed as a tilting lever clamp electrical terminal 100 has a dynamic leverage in which at the beginning of the closing operation, the clamping edge 122 covers a long way and in the further closing with little force a relatively long path is covered with the tool, resulting in a high clamping force is implemented.
  • Both the clamping spring 101 and the clamping lever 102 and the auxiliary lever 104 and the bracket 108 may be made of stamped and bent parts. This allows a simple and cost-effective production, also for mass production.
  • the maximum opening angle 146 can be very large, so that even the most massive ladder in the can be pivoted upwardly open swivel range 115.
  • the second rotary unit 130 may have a round outer contour 107 which engages in a correspondingly round recess 106 of the holder 108. This is possible because no tensile forces occur, so that at the hole 111 a simple plastic pin 151 of the housing 150 is sufficient.
