Description

The invention relates to a jumpering comb with a plurality of honeycomb components, wherein the individual honeycomb components each have a box-shaped housing with two end faces and four side surfaces which extend between the end faces, and wherein the two end faces of the honeycomb components each have at least one connection region.

Shunting honeycombs are used in particular where a plurality of electrical conductors must be connected in a confined space. For this purpose, maneuvering frames are known from practice, in which a plurality of honeycomb components are arranged in corresponding chambers of the frame within a fixed, rectangular mounting frame. On the jumper or the individual honeycomb modules electrical conductors can be connected both from the front, the field side, and from the back, the plant side. For this purpose, connecting elements are arranged in the box-shaped housings of the individual honeycomb components, which are usually connected to each other via corresponding busbars, so that an inserted through a corresponding conductor insertion opening in the front face electrical conductor can be electrically connected to an electrical conductor or a terminal contact, the is inserted through a corresponding insertion opening in the rear end face of the housing.

Such a maneuvering honeycomb with a plurality of honeycomb components, for example, from DE 195 12 226 A1 known. When Rangierwabe disclosed in this document, the individual honeycomb components that are used in the individual chambers of the mounting frame, all the same dimensions and the same number and size of conductor insertion openings. At its upper and lower edge side, a respective Befestigungsflanschansatz is firmly connected to the Rangierwabe, via which the Rangierwabe can be fixed by means of screws to a mounting frame. In addition, terminal modules can be fastened mechanically via dovetail connections to the fastening flange attachments, wherein an electrical connection to the metallic mounting frame can take place via a contact plate inserted in the bottom of the terminal module. An adaptation of the Rangierwabe to individual wishes of a user is not possible in this known Rangierwabe. If the number of conductors to be connected has to be increased, a correspondingly larger patching comb with a larger number of individual honeycomb components must be used, with patching combos with 18, 32, 48, 54 or 80 honeycomb components being available in practice. To attach a matched to the dimensions of the jumper other mounting frame must then be used.

From the DE 10 2013 101 830 A1 is a Rangierwabe known, as used for example in rail vehicle technology for electrical distribution. In the Fig. 7 and 8th In this document, two different mounting frame or distributor housing are shown, in which in each case a predetermined number - 18 or 54 - is formed in chambers in chambers, in each of which a honeycomb module is arranged with two conductor insertion openings in the front end face. On the upper and the lower edge of the Rangierwabe a Befestigungsflanschansatz is firmly connected to the marshalling, so that the Rangierwabe can be fixed by means of two screws, for example, to a control cabinet wall in this marshalling. In this Rangierwabe the production of the individual honeycomb components should be simplified in that the housing has a main housing part and a housing closure part, so that a contact insert with the connection elements can be easily inserted through a mounting opening in the main housing. However, a flexible adaptation of the jumper to individual wishes of a user is not possible here either.

From the DE 30 14 755 A1 is a maneuvering known, in which the individual honeycomb blocks each have a box-shaped housing. In the end faces of the honeycomb blocks connecting areas are formed and provided on the side surfaces at least one spring and at least one corresponding groove for connecting to the spring of another honeycomb block. From the Fig. 3 and 4 In addition, it can be seen that the jumpering comb may have closing elements with which the mating block can be fastened, for example, on a mounting rail.

A disadvantage of the known from the D1 honeycomb module is that in the assembled state, only the front of the jumper is easily accessible, while the back is difficult to access, so that the connection of conductors to the terminal areas of the back is difficult in confined spaces.

The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a jumper with several honeycomb modules available, which is characterized by increased flexibility and better adaptability to individual needs of a user, in particular, the wiring of the individual honeycomb components should be easily possible even in confined spaces ,

This object is achieved with the Rangierwabe described above with the features of claim 1.

The maneuvering comb according to the present invention has a high degree of flexibility in that the individual honeycomb building blocks can be directly connected to each other by having at least one latching element on at least two side surfaces, so that the use of a rigid, the number of individual honeycomb components Fixing mounting frame can be omitted. This allows the Rangierwabe have any number of honeycomb blocks, so that the size and the number of poles of the jumper can be adapted to the particular needs and also easily changed if necessary.

When Rangierwabe the flexibility and the number of different applications are further increased by at least one end element is disposed on at least one side of the Rangierwabe, the end element can be flexibly attached by forming a counter-locking element on a peripheral honeycomb of the Rangierwabe. The latching connection formed between the closing element and the honeycomb components between the at least one latching element and the at least one counter-latching element thereby enables a releasable connection of the closing element to the desired position of the switching honeycomb. This makes it easy to adapt the jumper to changing requirements.

According to the invention, in each case a closing element is arranged on two opposite sides of the Rangierwabe, wherein the two end elements are formed so as to enable a pivotable attachment of the Rangierwabe. For this purpose, the two end elements each have a connection region, a holding region and a fastening region, wherein the retaining region and the fastening region are arranged perpendicular to one another, so that together they form a fastening angle. The at least one counter-latching element of the terminating element is in this case formed on the connecting region, so that in the mounted state it is connected to at least one, preferably to a plurality of peripheral honeycomb bricks. The connection area is connected to the holding area via a pivot axis. The mounting angle of the example, by means of screws which are inserted through openings in the mounting area, on a wall, for example on a cabinet wall, can be fixed.

Preferably, at least one latching element is provided for connecting to another honeycomb component on all four side surfaces of the honeycomb components. In this case, the latching elements, which are formed on opposite side surfaces, formed corresponding to each other, so that a honeycomb brick can be connected in both the x-direction and in the z-direction with another honeycomb brick. The mutually corresponding latching elements may be formed, for example, as a latching pin and latching openings, as webs and grooves, in particular as dovetailed webs and corresponding dovetailed grooves or as latching lugs and latching projections.

The termination elements have on the honeycomb facing side surface counter-locking elements which correspond to the provided on the opposite side surface locking elements of the honeycomb blocks. If, for example, the honeycomb components have webs on the corresponding side surface, then corresponding grooves are formed in the opposite side surface of the end elements. According to another Embodiment are at least one web as a locking element and formed on the opposite side surface of a closure element at least one groove corresponding to the web as a counter-locking element on a side surface of the honeycomb blocks. Preferably, the webs and the grooves each have mutually corresponding dovetail-shaped cross sections.

In the invention, the cross-sectional dimensions of a termination element can correspond to the cross-sectional dimensions of a honeycomb block, in particular a termination element can have the same width as a honeycomb block. In addition, however, there is also the possibility that the Rangierwabe has a closure element that has a greater width than a honeycomb brick. So that in this case, the closure element can be easily connected to marginal honeycomb blocks, the closing element has a width B _A , which is a full-line multiple of the width Bw of a honeycomb brick. The locking of such a termination element with a plurality of honeycomb components is thereby ensured that the number of counter-locking elements of the closing element is a corresponding multiple of the number of locking elements of a honeycomb brick. In the case of an end element with a double width compared to the width of a honeycomb block, the end element on its side facing the honeycomb block side surface thus has a double number of counter-locking elements compared to the number of corresponding locking elements of a single honeycomb component. As a result, a double-width end element can be easily attached to two honeycomb blocks of simple width.

Due to the inventive design of the Rangierwabe there is not only the possibility to arrange a final element as needed at different positions of the jumper, but there is also the possibility to connect different end elements as required with the peripheral honeycomb blocks. By selecting suitable termination elements, the maneuvering comb can thus be easily adapted to different requirements, so that different wishes of a customer can be met.

The end elements may for example be designed so that they serve to attach the jumpering on a wall, such as a control cabinet wall. For this purpose, a closure element preferably has at least one attachment region with at least one opening, through which a fastening element, for example a screw, can be made.

Alternatively or additionally, the closing element can also have a marking area for identifying the maneuvering comb or a region of the maneuvering comb. The marking area can either be labeled directly or the marking area has at least one guide groove into which a corresponding identification plate can be locked. Preferably, the marking region has two guide grooves on two sides arranged perpendicular to one another, so that the inscription or identification of the maneuvering comb is reliably ensured from two different viewing directions.

According to a further embodiment, an end element serving for fastening can also be designed as a latching foot for latching the jumpering comb onto a mounting rail, the closing element then having two latching legs lying opposite one another, which clampingly receive the mounting rail between them. With the help of such attached to the jumper closure element, the jumper can then be releasably attached to a mounting rail. Depending on the size of the maneuvering comb, it is also possible to use more than one resting foot, in particular two resting feet.

According to a further embodiment, an end element can also be designed as a compensating element, so that the outer dimensions of the maneuvering comb can be adapted to a specific installation dimension specified by a customer. Such, designed as a compensation element terminating element can be used in particular to adjust the overall height of the jumper to a given installation height, including the compensation element can be attached to the upper side and / or on the lower side of the jumper.

Such, designed as a compensation element terminating element preferably has at least one web on a side surface and at least one groove on the opposite side surface, so that the closing element can be attached both to the top of the jumper and on the underside of the jumper on the peripheral honeycomb blocks , In addition, such a design of the end element with at least one web on a side surface and with at least one groove on the opposite side surface, the possibility that on the side facing away from the honeycomb facing side surface of the end element, a further closing element, for example, provided for attachment end element can be attached , In addition, such a compensation element can then also be arranged within the Rangierwabe, for example, between two rows of honeycomb blocks. This also makes it easy to adapt the overall height of the maneuvering comb to a predefined installation dimension by selecting a suitably dimensioned end element, without the individual honeycomb components having to be changed.

In another embodiment, the terminating element has a connecting region and a conductor guiding region, wherein the at least one counter-locking element is also formed on the connecting region in this variant of the terminating element. In the mounted state, the conductor guide region, which is preferably formed integrally with the connection region, protrudes beyond the front end face of the honeycomb components so that the conductors to be connected to the honeycomb components can be fastened to the conductor guide region. The attachment of the conductors to be connected to the conductor guide region can be done for example by means of cable ties, whereby a strain relief of the conductor to be connected is ensured. As an alternative to this, the conductor guide region can also have a plurality of clamping sections for clamping individual conductors, so that as a result both guidance and strain relief of the connected conductors take place.

Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a jumper 1, which has a plurality of honeycomb blocks 2, wherein the individual honeycomb blocks 2 are connected directly to each other. The Rangierwabe 1, which consists of a total of 32 honeycomb blocks 2, thus has no fixed mounting frame in the individual chambers, the individual honeycomb blocks 2 are used, so that the number of individual honeycomb blocks 2 and thus the dimensions of the jumper 1 flexible to the respective Requirements of a user can be customized.

The individual honeycomb blocks 2 each have a box-shaped housing 3 with two end faces 4a, 4b and four side faces 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d. In this case, the individual side surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d extend between the two end faces 4a, 4b and each have an angle of 90 ° to the end faces 4a, 4b. The honeycomb brick 2 thus has a rectangular cross-section, with a width B and a height H. In addition, the honeycomb bricks 2 have a length or depth T. In the illustrated maneuvering honeycomb 1 all honeycomb bricks 2 have the same dimensions, but the invention is not limited thereto. In the honeycomb blocks 2 shown, the dimensions B x H x T are, for example, 12 mm × 11 mm × 30 mm, although these dimensions are by no means restrictive.

At the front end face 4 a of the honeycomb building blocks 2, three connection regions 6 are provided in each case, which are preferably designed as spring-force clamping connections. Within the housing 3, three clamping springs are arranged, wherein by means of the clamping springs introduced by a respective conductor insertion opening of a terminal portion 6 stripped conductor clamped against a likewise arranged in the housing 3 busbar and thereby electrically connected to the busbar. The rear end face 4b may also have three connection areas. In addition, however, it is also possible that the two end faces 4a, 4b a different Have number of connection areas, the rear end face 4b, for example, only two connection areas.

In order to connect the honeycomb components to one another, the honeycomb components 2 have at least one latching element on all four side surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d. Thereby, a honeycomb brick 2 at all its four side surfaces 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d and thus both in the x direction and in the z direction with another honeycomb brick 2 are connected to a jumper 1, as they are for example in Fig. 1 is shown to train.

The honeycomb blocks 2 each have four dovetail-shaped webs 7 on the first side surface 5a, to which grooves corresponding to the side surface 5c of a honeycomb chip element 2 are formed, which likewise have a dovetail-shaped cross section. As a result, two honeycomb building blocks 2 can be connected to each other in the x-direction by inserting the webs 7 arranged on the side surface 5a of one honeycomb brick 2 into the grooves 8 formed on the side surface 5c of the adjacent honeycomb brick 2.

On the upper side surface 5b of the housing 3, in each case a groove 9 is formed, which extends approximately over the entire depth T of a honeycomb brick 2. Corresponding to the groove 9, a web 10 is formed on the lower side surface 5d of the honeycomb building blocks 2, so that two honeycomb building blocks 2 can also be arranged one above the other in the z-direction by the web 10 on the lower side surface 5d of an upper honeycomb building block 2 in the groove 9 on the upper side surface 5b of a lower honeycomb brick 2 is inserted.

The Figures 2 and 3 show the jumper 1 according to Fig. 1 together with a plurality of end elements 11, in each case once with not yet finished end elements 11 and once with assembled end elements 11. In the illustrated embodiments, 1 end elements 11 are provided both on the upper side and on the lower side of the jumper, the attachment of the end elements 11 with the adjoining, peripheral honeycomb blocks 2 takes place in that the closing elements 11 at least at the adjacent honeycomb blocks. 2 opposite side surface 12a have counter-locking elements which correspond to the locking elements of the honeycomb blocks 2. As a result, the end elements 11 can be easily attached to the peripheral honeycomb blocks 2 and, if necessary, also be detached from the honeycomb blocks 2 again.

Like from the Fig. 2 and 3 it can be seen, the Rangierwabe 1 can be connected as required with different end elements 11, so that a corresponding to the respective requirements Rangierwabe 1 can be provided. In contrast to the in Fig. 1 shown Rangierwabe 1 have the right side edge of the Rangierwabe 1 honeycomb building blocks 2 on its side surface 5a no locking elements, so that no further honeycomb blocks 2 can be attached to this page. Basically, however, also in the in Fig. 2 and 3 shown Rangierwaben 1 and the right side edge of the Rangierwabe 1 honeycomb building blocks 2 have on its side surface 5a locking elements, as in the maneuvering 1 according to Fig. 1 is shown.

At the in Fig. 2a and 2b illustrated embodiment, the Rangierwabe 1, the three end elements 11 which are connected to the upper honeycomb blocks 2, at their honeycomb blocks 2 facing side surface 12a each have at least one web 13 which is inserted into the formed on the side surface 5b of the honeycomb brick 2 groove 9 , The closing element 11, which is connected to the lower, peripheral honeycomb blocks 2, on the other hand, has on its side facing the honeycomb blocks 2 side surface 12a two grooves 14 which can be connected to the corresponding webs 10 on the side surface 5d of two adjacent honeycomb blocks 2. This end element 11, which serves for fastening the jumpering 1, for example, on a control cabinet wall, is again in Fig. 5a shown. It can be seen that the closing element 11 has a mounting portion 15 with an opening 16 through which a screw not shown here can be performed and screwed into a corresponding hole in a cabinet wall.

This in Fig. 2 shown upper, left end element 11 is again in Fig. 5b shown. This terminating element 11 likewise serves to fasten the maneuvering comb 1, so that it also has a fastening region 15 having an opening 16. In order to facilitate the attachment of the Rangierwabe 1, for example, to a cabinet wall, in which holes are already provided for the screws to be performed through the opening, the openings 16 formed in the mounting portions 15 are each formed as longitudinal openings, wherein the longitudinal axis of the two openings 16 perpendicular aligned with each other.

At the in Fig. 5b illustrated end member 11 is in addition to the mounting portion 15 nor a marking area 17 is provided which has two guide grooves 18 which are formed on two mutually perpendicular side surfaces. In each of the two guide grooves 18, a marking plate for marking the maneuvering comb 1 or a region of the maneuvering comb 1 can be engaged. At the in Fig. 5b illustrated end member 11, the marking area 17 in addition to a third guide groove 18, in which also a corresponding identification plate can be engaged. This guide groove 18 is arranged so that a latched identification plate from the back of the jumper 1, the plant side, readable.

At the in Fig. 2 shown Rangierwabe 1 two further termination elements 11 are provided on the top, which serve only the mark. Such a closure element 11 is in Fig. 6 shown. The closing element 11 has a marking region 17, on which a total of three guide grooves 18 are formed. From the Fig. 2 as well as a comparison of the two in Fig. 5a and 5b illustrated end elements 11 with the in Fig. 6 illustrated end member 11 it can be seen that in Fig. 5 illustrated termination elements 11 have a width B _A , which is twice as large as the width B _{W of} a honeycomb brick 2. So that these closing elements 11 can be connected to the honeycomb blocks 2, they have a double number of counter-latching elements, namely two grooves 14 (FIG. Fig. 5a ) or two webs 13 (FIG. Fig. 5b ), in comparison to the number of locking elements, namely a groove 9 and a web 10 of the honeycomb building blocks 2.

In the Fig. 3 shown Rangierwabe 1 differs from the in Fig. 2 shown Rangierwabe 1, that serving for fastening and marking closing element 11, which in itself Fig. 5b is shown, not directly is connected to the upper, peripheral honeycomb blocks 2. In this embodiment, two serving as compensating elements termination elements 11 are still provided, which in itself Fig. 7 are shown. In the present case serving as height compensation element closure element 11 according to Fig. 7 are on the honeycomb blocks 2 facing side surface 12a two webs 13 and on the opposite side surface 12b two grooves 14 are formed. Thereby, this closing element 11 via the webs 13 with two upper edge honeycomb blocks 2 and via the grooves 14 with one or two further end elements 11, for example, with the in the Fig. 5 illustrated end elements 11, are connected. From the Fig. 3 is seen that also here, similar to the embodiment according to Fig. 2 , two more to the marking end elements 11 according to Fig. 6 could be attached to the second, right as height compensation element serving end element 11.

In Fig. 4 a Rangierwabe 1 is shown, as well as in the Fig. 1 to 3 shown Rangierwaben 1 has a total of 32 honeycomb blocks 2. In addition, the in Fig. 4 Rangierwabe shown 1 still two serving as height compensation elements termination elements 11, however, in contrast to the embodiment according to Fig. 3 not on the upper side of the marshalling 1 but in the middle of the marshalling 1, so are arranged between two rows of honeycomb blocks 2. The two at the jumper 1 according to Fig. 4 used terminating elements 11 correspond to the in Fig. 7 separately shown end element 11th

In Fig. 8 two further embodiments of a closure element 11 are shown, which serve in each case for fastening and marking a Rangierwabe 1. The two end elements 11 each have a fastening region 15 with an opening 16 and a marking region 17 with a guide groove 18 for a label. As in particular from a comparison of the two in the Fig. 8a and 8b illustrated end elements 11 with the in Fig. 5b shown end element 11 can be seen, serve in Fig. 8 illustrated end elements 11 as height compensation. This is achieved, in particular, in that the fastening region 15 and the marking region 17 are not -as in the embodiment in accordance with FIG Fig. 5b - Side by side, but are arranged one above the other.

By a corresponding dimensioning of serving as a compensation element closure element 11, it is thus possible in a simple manner, a jumper 1, which has a certain number of honeycomb blocks 2, to adapt to a specific installation dimension.

The FIGS. 9 and 10 show two further embodiments of a closing element 11, which serves for fastening and marking a jumper 1. This in Fig. 9 illustrated end member 11 has a mounting portion 15 with two openings 16 through which a rod can be pushed through, so that the fastener 11 and with this also a jumper 1 can be attached to a corresponding rod. Since that in Fig. 9 illustrated closure element 11 has a width which is three times as large as the width of a single honeycomb brick 2, the closing element 11 on its side facing the honeycomb brick 2 side surface 12a three webs 13, in the grooves 9 on the upper side surface 5b of three side by side arranged honeycomb blocks 2 can be inserted.

This in Fig. 10 illustrated end member 11 is formed as a latching foot for latching onto a support rail, to which the end member 11 has two locking legs 19, between which the support rail can be clamped. On its side facing the honeycomb blocks 2 side surface 12a, this closure element 11 has two grooves 14 into which the webs 10 formed on the lower side surface 5d of two adjacent honeycomb blocks 2 can be inserted.

The two in the FIGS. 9 and 10 beyond that also serve to identify a jumpering 1, including the closing element 11 according to Fig. 9 has a marking area 17 with a guide groove 18. The formed as a latching foot end element 11 according to Fig. 10 has two marking areas 17, wherein at the front marking area 17 two guide grooves 18 and at the rear marking area 17, a guide groove 18 are formed.

Fig. 11 shows an embodiment of a Rangierwabe 1 according to the invention, in which in each case a closing element on two opposite sides 11 is arranged. With the help of the two end elements 11, the Rangierwabe 1 can be attached, for example, to a control cabinet wall, wherein the two end members 11 are formed so that the Rangierwabe 1 can be pivoted in the mounted state. For this purpose, the two end elements 11 each have a connection region 20 on which the counter-locking elements are formed. The connecting portions 20 are thus releasably connected to the peripheral honeycomb blocks 2 of the Rangierwabe 1 via the counter-locking elements and formed on the honeycomb blocks 2 locking elements. In addition, the two end elements 11 each still have a holding portion 21 and a mounting portion 22 which are perpendicular to each other, so that together they form a mounting bracket. In the mounting portion 22, two openings 23 are formed, which serve to receive screws with which the closing elements 11 can be attached to a wall. The above-mentioned pivotable arrangement of the Rangierwabe 1 is ensured by the fact that the two connecting portions 20 are each connected via a pivot axis 24 with the respective holding portion 21 of the closing element 11.

Fig. 12 Finally, shows an embodiment of a jumper 1, which has only six honeycomb blocks 2. In addition, this shunting honeycomb 1 also has a closing element 11, which serves for guiding and holding the conductor to be connected to the honeycomb building blocks 2. For this purpose, the terminating element 11 has a connecting region 25 and a conductor guiding region 26. At the connection region 25, a plurality of webs are formed, which engage with the grooves 8 formed on the side surface 5c of the adjacent honeycomb building blocks 2. The conductor guide region 26 formed integrally with the connection region 25 protrudes beyond the front end surface 4a of the honeycomb building blocks 2, so that the conductors to be connected can be fastened to the conductor guide region 26. For this purpose, a plurality of clamping portions 27 are formed for clamping the individual conductors to the conductor guide portion 26, whereby a strain relief of the connected conductors can be achieved.
