Abstract

A plug-in socket having control terminals (2a,b) and control contacts (3a,b) is provided with a plug-in compartment (4), for holding a module, to facilitate insertion of additional switching elements into the control circuit. Laminates (5a,b) are passed through at the base of the plug-in compartment (4), via which laminates (5a,b) the control terminal (2a and 2b) are electrically conductively connected to the control contacts (3a and 3b). Each of the laminates (5a,b) has two notches (6a,b) at which they can be separated. The plug-in compartment (4) can be closed by a hinged cover which can be fixed in the closed position by means of a snap closure. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Stecksockel zur Aufnahme eines Relais, mit mindestens einem ersten beschaltbaren Anschluß sowie einem ersten zur Kontaktierung des Relais geeigneten beschaltbaren Kontakt, welche über eine erste Leiterbahn verbindbar sind und einem zweiten beschaltbaren Anschluß sowie einem zweiten zur Kontaktierung des Relais geeigneten Kontakt, welche über eine zweite Leiterbahn verbindbar sind, sowie mit mindestens einem Einsteckfach zur einsteckbaren Aufnahme mindestens eines Moduls.The invention relates to a plug-in base for receiving a relay, with at least a first connectable connection and a first switchable contact suitable for contacting the relay, which can be connected via a first conductor track and a second switchable connection and a second contact suitable for contacting the relay , which can be connected via a second conductor track, and with at least one pocket for inserting at least one module.

Da besonders die zur Steuerung von Relais eingesetzten Signale oft von Störungen überlagert sind oder der Auslegung des Relais nicht entsprechen, andererseits auch die Schaltvorgänge im Relais auf das Netz zurückwirken und dasselbe störend beeinflussen können, ist es sehr oft nötig, zusätzliche Elemente in den Steuerkreis einzubauen, insbesondere parallel zum Relais gelegte Schutzschaltungen wie VDR-Widerstände, Kondensatoren oder RC-Kombinationen. Gelegentlich ist es auch sinnvoll, andere als die Steuerleitungen zu beschalten.Since the signals used to control relays, in particular, are often overlaid with interference or do not correspond to the design of the relay, and on the other hand the switching processes in the relay also affect the network and can interfere with it, it is very often necessary to install additional elements in the control circuit , in particular protective circuits such as VDR resistors, capacitors or RC combinations placed parallel to the relay. Occasionally, it makes sense to wire other than the control lines.

Die DE-A-32 21 042 offenbart eine zweiteilige Relaisfassung mit Anschlußkontakten für die Kontaktstifte eines Relais und Anschlußklemmen, wobei die Kontaktgabel jedes Anschlußkontaktes über eine stegartige Brücke mit je einer Anschlußklemme verbunden ist. Zumindest einige der Anschlußkontakte sind mit einer zuzätzlichen Leiterbahn verbunden, welche in einen in der Relaisfassung ausgebildetes Einsteckfach münden und an ihrem freien Ende als Lötöse oder Flachstecker ausgebildet sind.DE-A-32 21 042 discloses a two-part relay socket with connecting contacts for the contact pins of a relay and connecting terminals, the contact fork of each connecting contact being connected to a connecting terminal via a bridge-like bridge. At least some of the connection contacts are connected to an additional conductor track, which open into an insert compartment formed in the relay socket and are designed at their free end as a soldering lug or flat plug.

Weiters ist aus der EP-A-0 198 099 ein Schütz mit einem in ein Einsteckfach in seiner Seitenwand einsteckbaren Modul zur Begrenzung oder Dämpfung von Spannungsspitzen bekanntgeworden. Die elektrischen Anschlüsse des Moduls sind jedoch direkt mit den auf Nennbetätigungsspannung liegenden Anschlußschienen verbunden.Furthermore, from EP-A-0 198 099 a contactor with a module which can be inserted into an insert pocket in its side wall for limiting or damping voltage peaks has become known. However, the electrical connections of the module are directly connected to the connection rails that are at the nominal actuation voltage.

Bei herkömmlichen Stecksockeln wie dem in der CH-555607 beschriebenen ist eine derartige Beschaltung nur durch ein zusätzliches Gerät, das zusätzlichen Platz braucht und mit dem Stecksockel elektrisch verbunden werden muß oder durch einen direkten Einbau in die Verdrahtung des Stecksockels möglich. In beiden Fällen erfordert die Montage des Elementes einen merklichen Arbeitsaufwand und ist nicht ohne weiteres rückgängig zu machen oder zu ändern.In conventional sockets such as that described in CH-555607, such a connection is only possible by means of an additional device which requires additional space and must be electrically connected to the socket, or by a direct installation in the wiring of the socket. In both cases, the assembly of the element requires a considerable amount of work and is not easy to undo or change.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, einen Stecksockel zur Aufnahme eines Relais zu schaffen, welcher es erlaubt, auf einfache Weise, praktisch ohne Montageaufwand, zusätzliche Schaltelemente in den Stromkreis einzubauen.The invention seeks to remedy this. The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a plug-in base for receiving a relay, which allows additional switching elements to be installed in the circuit in a simple manner, with practically no assembly effort.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im besonderen darin zu sehen, dass die oft erforderliche zusätzliche Beschaltung des Steuerkreises, eventuell aber auch eines oder mehrerer der durch das Relais geschalteten Stromkreise, auf einfache, platz- und arbeitssparende Weise möglich ist. Da ausserdem die Beschaltung ohne weiteres auch nachträglich eingebaut und sehr leicht geändert werden kann, wird durch die Erfindung auch die Anpassbarkeit bestehender Installationen an geänderte Anforderungen wesentlich verbessert. Das gilt in besonderem Masse für eine besondere Ausführungsform der Erfindung, die es erlaubt, Leitungen, vorzugsweise die der Zuführung des Steuersignals an die Steuerkontakte dienenden, aufzutrennen, was die Beschaltung mit in Serie zum Relais liegenden Elementen wie Drosseln oder mit Vierpolen, z. B. Hilfsspeisungen, erlaubt.The advantages achieved by the invention are to be seen in particular in the fact that the often required additional wiring of the control circuit, but possibly also one or more of the circuits switched by the relay, is possible in a simple, space-saving and labor-saving manner. In addition, since the circuitry can also be easily retrofitted and changed very easily, the invention also significantly improves the adaptability of existing installations to changed requirements. This applies in particular to a particular embodiment of the invention, which allows lines, preferably those which serve to supply the control signal to the control contacts, to separate what the wiring with elements in series with the relay such as chokes or with four-pole, e.g. B. auxiliary feeds allowed.

different wiring options.

Der Stecksockel weist eine zur Aufnahme eines nicht dargestellten Relais geeignete Oeffnung 1 auf, die von Kontakten 3 umgeben ist, von denen zwei als Steuerkontakte 3a,b dienen. Jeder der Kontakte 3 steht bei eingestecktem Relais mit einem Kontakt desselben im Eingriff, insbesondere dienen die Steuerkontakte 3a,b der Zuführung des Steuersignals an das Relais. Jeder der Kontakte 3 ist mit einem der Anschlüsse 2 elektrisch leitend verbunden, die in zwei Leisten an den Enden des Stecksockels angeordnet sind. Die mit den Steuerkontakten 3a,b verbundenen Anschlüsse werden im folgenden als Steueranschlüsse 2a,b bezeichnet.The plug-in base has an opening 1 suitable for receiving a relay, not shown, which is surrounded by contacts 3, two of which serve as control contacts 3a, b. Each of the contacts 3 is in engagement with a contact of the same when the relay is inserted, in particular the control contacts 3a, b serve to supply the control signal to the relay. Each of the contacts 3 is electrically conductively connected to one of the connections 2, which are arranged in two strips at the ends of the plug-in base. The connections connected to the control contacts 3a, b are referred to below as control connections 2a, b.

Erfindungsgemäss weist der Stecksockel ein Einsteckfach 4 zur Aufnahme eines Moduls (in Fig. 2 angedeutet) auf. Am Grund des Einsteckfachs 4 sind zwei Lamellen 5a,b durchgeführt, durch welche die elektrisch leitenden Verbindungen (in Fig. 1 angedeutet) zwischen dem Steueranschluss 2a bzw. 2b und dem Steuerkontakt 3a bzw. 3b verlaufen. Jede der Lamellen 5a,b ist durch zwei Kerben 6a,b für ein Auftrennen der elektrisch leitenden Verbindung zwischen dem jeweiligen Steueranschluss 2a oder 2b und dem jeweiligen Steuerkontakt 3a bzw. 3b vorbereitet. Das Einsteckfach 4 ist durch einen klappbaren Deckel 7 aus Kunststoff (in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt) verschliessbar, der durch einen Schnappverschluss in der Verschlussstellung fixierbar ist.According to the invention, the plug-in base has an insert pocket 4 for receiving a module (indicated in FIG. 2). At the bottom of the pocket 4, two lamellae 5a, b are passed through which the electrically conductive connections (indicated in FIG. 1) run between the control connection 2a or 2b and the control contact 3a or 3b. Each of the lamellae 5a, b is prepared by two notches 6a, b for separating the electrically conductive connection between the respective control connection 2a or 2b and the respective control contact 3a or 3b. The pocket 4 can be closed by a hinged lid 7 made of plastic (not shown in FIG. 1), which can be fixed in the closed position by a snap lock.

Im in den Figuren dargestellten Zustand eignet sich das Einsteckfach 4 zur Aufnahme eines Moduls mit zwei mit den Lamellen 5a,b im Eingriff stehenden Kontakten, zwischen die - parallel zum Relais - ein Schaltungselement gelegt ist, z. B. ein VDR-Widerstand, ein Störschutzkondensator, eine RC-Kombination oder ein Anzeigeelement (Fig. 3a,b,c,d). Ist eine der Lamellen, etwa 5a, an den Kerben 6a,b aufgetrennt, so ist der Einbau eins Moduls möglich, welches die aufgetrennte Verbindung durch ein in Serie zum Relais liegendes Schaltelement, z. B. eine Drossel, überbrückt (Fig. 4a) oder ein solches in Serie eingebautes Element mit einem parallel zum Relais liegenden kombiniert, wie das etwa bei einer RLC-Kombination der Fall ist (Fig. 4b). Sind beide Lamellen 5a,b aufgetrennt, so kann das Modul einen Vierpol enthalten, z. B. eine Hilfsspeisung (R-Speisung oder C-Speisung, Fig. 5a,b) oder eine Multispeisung (Fig. 5c) zur Umsetzung eingehender Signale in zur Ansteuerung des Relais geeignete.In the state shown in the figures, the pocket 4 is suitable for receiving a module with two contacts in engagement with the slats 5a, b, between which - parallel to the relay - a circuit element is placed, e.g. B. a VDR resistor, a noise capacitor, an RC combination or a display element (Fig. 3a, b, c, d). If one of the lamellae, approximately 5a, is separated at the notches 6a, b, it is possible to install a module which connects the disconnected connection to the relay in series lying switching element, e.g. B. a choke, bridged (Fig. 4a) or such a built-in element combined with a parallel to the relay, as is the case with an RLC combination (Fig. 4b). If both lamellae 5a, b are separated, the module can contain a four-pole, e.g. B. an auxiliary supply (R supply or C supply, Fig. 5a, b) or a multi-supply (Fig. 5c) for converting incoming signals into suitable for controlling the relay.

Es ist natürlich auch denkbar, von vornherein zwei Beschaltungskontakte pro Zuleitung vorzusehen, die im einfachsten Fall, d. h., wenn keine Beschaltung nötig ist, durch ein entsprechendes Modul einfach verbunden werden.Of course, it is also conceivable to provide two wiring contacts per supply line from the outset, which in the simplest case, i. that is, if no circuitry is necessary, simply connect it with an appropriate module.

Der Deckel 7 kann so ausgestaltet sein, dass er in der Verschlussstellung mittels einer Leiste 8 auf das Modul drückt und so für guten elektrischen Kontakt zwischen den Lamellen 5a,b einerseits und den Kontakten des Moduls andererseits sorgt.The cover 7 can be designed in such a way that it presses on the module in the closed position by means of a strip 8 and thus ensures good electrical contact between the slats 5a, b on the one hand and the contacts of the module on the other.

Die Erfindung bietet dem Fachmann viele Möglichkeiten weiterer Ausgestaltung. So ist es denkbar, die übliche elfpolige Ausführung des Stecksockels durch eine zwölfpolige mit beiderseits sechs Anschlussklemmen zu ersetzen und durch Verbindung der zwölften Klemme mit einem weiteren Beschaltungskontakt im Einsteckfach einen Ansteuerpfad zur Steuerung des Moduls herzustellen. Mittels geeigneter Moduln können so neue Funktionen realisiert werden, etwa diejenige eines Relais mit steuerbarer Rückfallverzögerung oder eines Blinkrelais mit steuerbarem Blinkintervall.The invention offers the person skilled in the art many possibilities for further configuration. It is conceivable to replace the usual eleven-pole version of the plug-in base with a twelve-pole one with six connecting terminals on both sides and to establish a control path for controlling the module by connecting the twelfth terminal with another wiring contact in the pocket. Suitable modules can be used to implement new functions, such as that of a relay with controllable release delay or a flashing relay with a controllable flashing interval.
