Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kontaktelement mit einem Schraubanschluß für elektrische Leiter, wobei das Kontaktelement ein Leiteranschlußteil aufweist, das mit einer Bohrung versehen ist, in die der Leiter einschiebbar ist und mittels einer quer zur Achse der Bohrung bzw. des Leiters in eine Gewindebohrung im Leiteranschlußteil einschraubbaren Schraube festklemmbar ist, und wobei zwischen dem dem Leiter zugewandten Ende der Schraube und dem Leiter ein Drahtschutzblech in der Bohrung vorgesehen ist, das im wesentlichen L-förmig ausgebildet ist und einen abgewinkelten Fuß aufweist, und wobei das Drahtschutzblech derart in die Bohrung eingesetzt ist, daß sich der Fuß am Grunde der Bohrung befindet.The invention relates to a contact element with a screw connection for electrical conductors, wherein the contact element has a conductor connection part, which is provided with a bore into which the conductor is inserted and screwed by means of a transverse to the axis of the bore or of the conductor in a threaded bore in the conductor connection part Screw is clamped, and wherein between the conductor facing the end of the screw and the conductor, a wire guard is provided in the bore, which is formed substantially L-shaped and having an angled foot, and wherein the wire guard is inserted into the bore, that the foot is at the bottom of the hole.

Bei derartigen Schraubanschlüssen ist es erforderlich ein Drahtschutzelement vorzusehen, damit der anzuschließende Leiter beim Festschrauben der Klemmschraube durch diese nicht beschädigt wird.In such screw connections, it is necessary to provide a wire protection element, so that the conductor to be connected is not damaged when tightening the clamping screw.

Aus dem DE - GM 19 65 790 ist es bekannt, bei derartigen Kontaktelementen ein im wesentlichen U-förmiges Drahtschutzblech auf den Schaft der Klemmschraube aufzurasten, wobei ein Ende des Drahtschutzbleches zwischen der Schraube und dem anzuschließenden Leiter angeordnet ist. Das Drahtschutzblech wird dabei beim Festziehen der Schraube axial mit dieser verschoben. Bei dieser Ausführung ist es jedoch notwendig, den Kontakt, die Schraube und das Drahtschutzblech zu einer Unterbaugruppe vorzukonfektionieren, die dann in einen Trägerkörper eines Steckverbinders eingefügt wird und in diesem durch eine zusätzliche Kontakthalteplatte arretiert werden muß.From DE-GM 19 65 790 it is known to latch in such contact elements, a substantially U-shaped wire protection plate on the shank of the clamping screw, wherein one end of the wire guard between the screw and the conductor to be connected is arranged. The wire guard is thereby moved axially when tightening the screw. In this embodiment, however, it is necessary to prefabricate the contact, the screw and the wire guard to a subassembly, which then inserted into a carrier body of a connector is and must be locked in this by an additional contact plate.

Aus der DE 18 01 261 U1 ist ein Kontaktelement bekannt, das ein L-förmiges Drahtschutzblech mit abgewinkeltem Fuß aufweist, wobei sich der Fuß am Grunde der Bohrung befindet und das Ende des Schenkels mit einer nach außen weisende Abbiegung versehen ist und das vordere Ende der Schraube mit einer halbkugelförmigen Kuppe versehen ist.From the DE 18 01 261 U1 For example, there is known a contact element comprising an angled L-shaped wire guard with the foot located at the bottom of the bore and the end of the leg provided with an outward turn and the forward end of the screw provided with a hemispherical tip ,

Weiterhin ist aus der EP-A-0 536 523 eine Anschlussklemme bekannt, bei welcher jeder Anschlußpol eine Schraubklemme mit einem Leiterschutzelement und einen Steckkontakt aufweist.Furthermore, from the EP-A-0 536 523 a terminal known in which each terminal pole has a screw terminal with a conductor protection element and a plug contact.

In der DE 19 65 790 U1 ist ein Leitungs-Schraubanschluß für an Kontaktelemente elektrische Steckvorrichtungen anzuschließende Leitungen gezeigt, wobei die Leitungsdrähte mittels eines U-förmig gebogenes Druckstückes geschützt werden, das mit einer Anschlußschraube aufgeschraubt wirdIn the DE 19 65 790 U1 a line screw is shown for to be connected to contact elements electrical plugs lines, the wires are protected by a U-shaped bent pressure piece, which is screwed with a terminal screw

Aus der DE 26 44 867 ist eine elektrische Buchsenklemme bekannt, mit einem zwischen Klemmschraube und dem Leiter angeordneten Drahtschutzlappen, insbesondere für die Anschlussköpfe von Steckerstiften und Steckbüchsen.From the DE 26 44 867 An electrical socket terminal is known, with a arranged between the clamping screw and the conductor wire protection tabs, especially for the connection heads of plug pins and sockets.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde ein Kontaktelement der eingangs genannten Art mit einem Drahtschutzblech dahingehend auszubilden, daß das Drahtschutzblech in die Leiteraufnahmebohrung des Kontaktelementes einsetzbar ist und darin gehalten wird, ohne daß zusätzliche Halterungsmittel benötigt werden.The invention has the object of providing a contact element of the type mentioned with a wire guard to the effect form that the wire guard plate is inserted into the conductor receiving bore of the contact element and is held therein without additional support means are needed.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß der Fuß des Drahtschutzbleches mit seitlichen, widerhakenförmigen Anformungen versehen ist, die sich beim Einfügen des Drahtschutzbleches in die Wandung der Bohrung eingraben, und daß das Drahtschutzblech in der Art eines Drehlagers in geringem Maße um eine aus den Anformungen gebildete Achse schwenkbar ist.This object is achieved in that the foot of the wire guard plate is provided with lateral, barb-shaped projections, which dig when inserting the wire guard into the wall of the hole, and that the wire guard plate in the manner of a pivot bearing to a small extent about an axis formed by the projections is pivotable.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4 angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in claims 2 to 4.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Drahtschutzbleches und dessen Halterung im Inneren der Anschlußbohrung ein einfach und kostengünstig zu fertigendes Kontaktelement geschaffen wurde. Dabei ist dieses Kontaktelement problemlos in eine Aufnahmekammer eines Trägerkörpers einfügbar und es ist zur Halterung keine separate Kontakthalteplatte nötig.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that a simple and inexpensive to be manufactured contact element was created by the inventive design of the wire guard plate and its holder in the interior of the connection bore. In this case, this contact element is easily inserted into a receiving chamber of a carrier body and it is not required for holding a separate contact plate.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist bei einem Drahtschutzblech mit einem versteiften Schenkel und einem gerundeten Übergang zwischen dem Fuß und dem Schenkel dadurch gegeben, daß der versteifte Bereich keine Verformung beim Festziehen der Klemmschraube erfährt und daß die federelastischen Eigenschaften des gerundeten Übergangs unbeeinflußt bleiben. Dadurch besitzt das Drahtschutzblech optimale Feder- und Rückfedereigenschaften.Another advantage is given in a wire guard with a stiffened leg and a rounded transition between the foot and the leg in that the stiffened area undergoes no deformation when tightening the clamping screw and that the elastic properties of the rounded transition remain unaffected. As a result, the wire guard has optimum spring and springback properties.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist bei der Gestaltung der Leitereinführungsbohrung mit einem tulpenförmigen Einführbereich und einem entsprechend angepaßten Schenkel des Drahtschutzbleches und der Verwendung einer Klemmschraube mit einer kugelförmigen Kuppe dadurch gegeben, daß der Abstand zwischen dem Krafteinleitungspunkt und dem Auflagepunkt des Drahtschutzbleches am Leiter/Litzenleiter gegenüber herkömmlichen Ausführungen erheblich reduziert wird. Daraus resultiert, daß bei gleichem Anzugsmoment der Schraube die Biegebeanspruchung des Bauteils nahezu halbiert wird, wodurch die Rückverformung gesteigert und die Lebensdauer verlängert wird.Another advantage is given in the design of the conductor insertion bore with a tulip-shaped insertion region and a correspondingly adapted leg of the wire guard plate and the use of a clamping screw with a spherical dome in that the distance between the force application point and the support point of the wire guard is considerably reduced on the conductor / stranded conductor compared to conventional designs. As a result, at the same tightening torque of the screw, the bending stress of the component is almost halved, whereby the recovery is increased and the life is extended.

In der Fig. 1 ist im Schnitt ein Trägerkörper 1 aus Isoliermaterial eines elektrischen Steckverbinders dargestellt. Der Trägerkörper ist mit Kammern 2 versehen, in die elektrische Kontaktelemente 3 eingesetzt sind. Dabei sind die Kontaktelemente in den Kammern formschlüssig gehalten. Die Kontaktelemente sind mit einem Schraubanschluß 4 für den Anschluß und die Befestigung elektrischer Leiter 5 versehen.In Fig. 1, a carrier body 1 made of insulating material of an electrical connector is shown in section. The carrier body is provided with chambers 2, in which electrical contact elements 3 are inserted. The contact elements are held positively in the chambers. The contact elements are provided with a screw 4 for connection and attachment of electrical conductors 5.

In den Fig. 2 und 3 ist der Schraubanschluß 4 eines Kontaktelementes ausschnittsweise und vergrößert dargestellt.
Hierbei ist das Kontaktelement zur Ausbildung des Schraubanschlusses mit einer sacklochförmigen, axialen Bohrung 6 versehen. Weiterhin ist eine quer zu dieser Bohrung verlaufende Gewindebohrung 7 vorgesehen, in die eine Klemmschraube 8 eingedreht ist.
In die Bohrung 6 ist eine im wesentlichen L-förmiges Drahtschutzblech 9 eingesetzt, dessen Schenkel 10 sich nach dem Einfügen eines Leiters 5 in die Bohrung zwischen dem vorderen Ende der Schraube 8 und dem Leiter 5 befindet.2 and 3, the screw 4 of a contact element is shown in fragmentary and enlarged.
Here, the contact element for forming the screw is provided with a blind hole-shaped, axial bore 6. Furthermore, a transverse to this bore threaded hole 7 is provided, into which a clamping screw 8 is screwed.
In the bore 6, a substantially L-shaped wire protection plate 9 is inserted, the leg 10 is located after the insertion of a conductor 5 in the bore between the front end of the screw 8 and the conductor 5.

Das Drahtschutzblech 9, das in der Fig. 4 perspektivisch und vergrößert dargestellt ist, weist einen abgewinkelten Fuß 11 und den bereits erwähnten Schenkel 10 auf. An dem Fuß sind seitliche Anformungen 12 ausgebildet. Dabei ist der äußere Abstand A der Anformungen geringfügig größer als der Durchmesser der Bohrung 6 des Schraubanschlusses. Das bewirkt, daß beim in die Bohrung 6 eingedrückten Drahtschutzblech, sich die Anformungen in die Wandung der Bohrung eingraben und das Drahtschutzblech unverlierbar darin gehalten wird. (Siehe Fig. 5 und 6)
Darüber hinaus wirkt diese Festhaltung des Drahtschutzbleches über die Anformungen in der Art eines Drehlagers und das Drahtschutzblech kann im geringen Maße um die Achse X schwenken.
Der Übergang 13 vom Fuß 11 zum Schenkel 10 des Drahtschutzbleches ist vorzugsweise gerundet ausgeführt um eine Federung des Drahtschutzbleches in diesem Bereich zu erzielen. Weiterhin ist der Schenkel 10 des Drahtschutzbleches mit einer Einprägung 14 mit einer Wölbung nach außen versehen, die sich bei montiertem Drahtschutzblech im Bereich der Schraube 8 befindet. Durch diese Einprägung ist der Schenkel an sich steif und unelastisch und die Federung und Biegung des Drahtschutzbleches beim Festklemmen eines Leiters erfolgt im Übergang 13.The wire guard 9, which is shown in perspective and enlarged in FIG. 4, has an angled foot 11 and the already mentioned leg 10. At the foot lateral projections 12 are formed. Here, the outer distance A of the projections is slightly larger than the diameter of the bore 6 of the screw. This causes the depressed into the bore 6 wire guard plate, the projections dig into the wall of the hole and the wire guard is held captive therein. (See Figs. 5 and 6)
In addition, this detention of the wire guard acts on the projections in the manner of a pivot bearing and the wire guard can pivot slightly about the axis X.
The transition 13 from the foot 11 to the leg 10 of the wire guard plate is preferably made rounded to achieve a suspension of the wire guard in this area. Furthermore, the leg 10 of the wire guard plate is provided with an indentation 14 with a curvature to the outside, which is located at the mounted wire guard plate in the screw 8. By this impression, the leg is rigid and inelastic in itself and the suspension and bending of the wire guard during clamping of a conductor takes place in the transition thirteenth

Des weiteren ist das obere Ende 15 des Schenkels 10 nach außen geringfügig/leicht abgebogen und die Kuppe 16 der Schraube 6 halbkugelförmig ausgebildet. Insgesamt gesehen ist der Schenkel somit leicht S-förmig gestaltet. Der Einführbereich 17 der Bohrung 6 ist dabei vorzugsweise tulpenförmig aufgeweitet. Durch diese Maßnahmen wird erreicht, daß der Druckpunkt D1 der Schraube 6 auf den Schenkel 10 und der Druckpunkt D2 des Schenkels auf den Leiter in allen Festschraubstellungen stets einen Abstand voneinander aufweisen, d. h. der Druckpunkt D2 liegt im vorderen Bereich der Bohrung 6. Daraus resultiert eine hohe Klemmkraft auf den Leiter und eine Reduzierung der Biegebeanspruchung des Drahtschutzbleches. In Bezug auf die Halterung der Kontaktelemente im Trägerkörper wird noch erwähnt, daß die Kontaktelemente formschlüssig in die Kammern des Trägerkörpers eingesetzt und durch die durch seitliche Öffnungen des Trägerkörpers geführten Schrauben der Schraubanschlüsse gegen Herausrutschen aus den Kontaktkammern gesichert sind.Furthermore, the upper end 15 of the leg 10 is slightly / slightly bent outwards and the dome 16 of the screw 6 formed hemispherical. Overall, the leg is thus designed slightly S-shaped. The insertion region 17 of the bore 6 is preferably widened tulip-shaped. By these measures it is achieved that the pressure point D1 of the screw 6 on the leg 10 and the pressure point D2 of the leg on the conductor in all Festschraubstellungen always have a distance from each other, d. H. the pressure point D2 is in the front region of the bore 6. This results in a high clamping force on the conductor and a reduction in the bending stress of the wire guard plate. With regard to the mounting of the contact elements in the carrier body is also mentioned that the contact elements are positively inserted into the chambers of the carrier body and secured by the guided through lateral openings of the carrier body screws of the screw terminals against slipping out of the contact chambers.
