Definitions

the invention relates to a connection device for electrical conductors according to the preamble of claim 1.
connection devices are known in various embodiments, so from the generic DE 295 00 614th
connection devices of the generic type have proven themselves. In order to connect finely stranded conductors and to simplify the switching off of the connecting devices, it is known to assign the connecting devices actuating devices, which are operated by hand or with an actuating tool and serve to act on the compression spring to open the nip to a particularly fine-stranded or Insert stranded conductor into the clamping point and remove the conductor from the clamping point and remove it.
the invention has the task of further simplifying the wiring of connection devices of the generic type with fine-wire conductors as well as the switching-off in confined space and space conditions with simple structural means.
the actuating device is designed as an actuating push-button, which on its outer surface is provided with at least two or more preferably separate ones - i.e. spaced apart - approach areas for attaching an actuating tool is provided.
the thus formed rotatable actuating handle is preferably suitable for the operation of direct plug connections even in confined spaces, since the actuating tool can be attached to the various positions on the actuating lever to open the clamping spring.
the actuating push-button is particularly suitable for opening springs, which act on the conductor as compression springs and press the conductor at a clamping point pressing against a busbar.
the actuating lever is pivotally mounted in the insulating housing. Due to the rotatable design, there is the advantage of only a small space and movement requirement of the actuating lever and the possibility of the actuating lever due to the at least two neck portions from different directions -. from mutually perpendicular directions - to operate, which in particular in cramped conditions, e.g. in the control cabinet, is of great advantage.
the two attachment areas for actuation tools are formed at an angle to one another and / or at mutually angled areas of the actuation lever.
Fig. 1 shows an insulating material 1, in which a connection device 2 is inserted.
the insulating housing 1 may be formed as part of any electrical device.
the housing may be part of a terminal, in particular a terminal, or a part of a higher-level device, for.
a contactor or the like is particularly interesting.
Particularly interesting is the application as a terminal in a compact insulating housing for the removal and retrofitting of existing electrical equipment with direct plug connections.
the insulating housing 1 has a free space 3, in which the connecting device 2 is inserted.
the connecting device in turn has a U-shaped metal cage 4, in which a V-shaped clamping spring 5 is arranged (see also Figs. 2 and 3).
the V-shaped clamping spring 5 is arranged with its first leg - the fastening leg 6 - on a first inner wall 7 of the metal cage 4.
the other free leg serves as a clamping leg 8 to press a conductor 13 (Fig, 2) against a busbar 9, which is also formed here as a wall 10 of the metal cage 4, which is opposite to the inner wall 7 for the mounting leg 6.
the busbar could also be designed as a separate rail on the wall 10 (not shown here).
Such a clamping point 11 is formed for clamping a conductor 13 between the free end of the clamping leg 8 and the busbar 9 - which may also be formed as part of the metal cage 4.
the conductor 13 is easily in Direct insertion technology tool-free by a lying above the nip 11 opening 14 in the insulating housing in this nip 11 insertable. If it is a conductor with a sufficiently large cross-section, he presses the clamping leg 8 of the clamping spring 5 during insertion aside and is then secured in the nip 11 by the free end 12 of the clamping leg 8 against unintentional withdrawal from the nip 11.
the connecting device is an actuator for opening the nip assigned by moving the clamping leg of the clamping spring 5.
This actuating device is designed as an actuating pushbutton 15, which is mounted pivotably on the insulating housing 1.
the actuating push-button 15 is made of insulating material and has a plurality of, here two, separate and here mutually spaced neck portions 16, 17 for an operating tool such as a screwdriver 18 a, b.
the two projection areas 16, 17 are here distributed on the actuating pushbutton 15 such that the actuating tool, in particular the screwdriver 18a, b, in different angular positions (in particular from 60 ° to 120 °) relative to the insertion direction X of the conductor (FIG. 2) into the Clamping point 11 can be attached to the actuating lever 15.
the screwdriver from two different positions by about 90 ° from each other, so parallel to the conductor insertion X or from an angle of 90 ° to this direction Y. This will meet most installation situations.
the actuating lever 15 has a kind of L-shape, wherein the one leg 19 of the L acting as an actuating leg on the clamping spring 5 and the other leg 20 relatively close to the V or U-shaped bend 21 of the clamping spring 5 on both sides formed bearing pin 23rd is rotatably mounted on the insulating housing 1.
the Isolierstoffgeophuse bearing recesses 22 which are dimensioned and designed so that the bearing pin 23 on the actuating handle 15 without tools are held resiliently in the insulating housing 1 by latching.
the first leg is provided on two different sides with the approach areas (recesses) for the screwdriver 18.
a stop for the clamping leg 8 can be realized by a protruding tab 27 on the metal cage.
connection devices 2 can be formed directly adjacent to one another on an insulating material housing 1.
the narrow design and the low space requirement of the direct plug-in device and actuation lever 15 have a positive effect.
