Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Leitungsverzweiger zur Verzweigung eines Leiterstranges.
Derartige Leitungsverzweiger werden zum Anschluß elektrischer Verbraucher in vernetzten elektrischen Anlagen verwendet, wobei ein Leiterstrang zur Versorgung der Verbraucher mit der erforderlichen elektrischen Leistung vorgesehen ist und die Verbraucher elektrisch gesehen, parallel an den Leitungsstrang geschaltet sind. Die Ansteuerung der Verbraucher, d. h. die Auswahl, welcher der Verbraucher eingeschaltet werden soll, erfolgt über ein Signalbussystem.
Es ist bekannt, den Leiterstrang über Anschlußdosen der Verbraucher zu führen, wobei der Leiterstrang dann praktisch durch diese Anschlußdosen geschleift ist. Bei Ausfall eines Verbrauchers und dem erforderlichen Austausch, müssen die Leitungen getrennt werden, wobei nachfolgende Verbraucher dann zumindest zeitweise vom Leitungsstrang abgetrennt sind.
Dabei ist aber auch das Auswechseln eines defekten Verbrauchers bzw. der Anschluß eines neuen Verbrauchers relativ aufwendig, und wobei auch Verdrahtungs- und Anschlußfehler leicht auftreten können.The invention relates to a line splitter for branching a conductor strand.
Line distributors of this type are used for connecting electrical consumers in networked electrical systems, a conductor line being provided to supply the consumers with the required electrical power and, viewed electrically, the consumers are connected in parallel to the line line. The control of the consumers, ie the selection of which of the consumers should be switched on, is made via a signal bus system.
It is known to guide the conductor strand over consumer junction boxes, the conductor strand then being practically looped through these junction boxes. In the event of a consumer failure and the necessary replacement, the lines must be disconnected, with subsequent consumers then being at least temporarily disconnected from the wiring harness.
However, the replacement of a defective consumer or the connection of a new consumer is also relatively complex, and wiring and connection errors can easily occur.

Der in der Fig. 1 dargestellte Leitungsverzweiger besteht im wesentlichen aus einem T-förmigen Gehäuse 1, das einen oberen Querbalken 2 und eine Basis 3 aufweist. An der Basis ist ein mit Steckkontakten 4 versehener Steckanschluß 5 angeordnet. Dabei ist dieser Steckanschluß als an sich bekannter Steckanschluß ausgebildet, so daß handelsübliche Steckverbinder darauf gesteckt werden können.
An den beiden Seiten 6 des Querbalkens sind PG-Verschraubungen 7 vorgesehen, durch die die Enden eines Leiterstranges 8 in das Gehäuse eingeführt sind. Die einzelnen Leiter 9 des Leiterstranges bzw. Kabels sind über Stromschienen 10 miteinander verbunden. Vorzugsweise sind die Anschlüsse der Leiter an die Stromschienen als Käfigzugfedern 11 ausgebildet. Die Stromschienen weisen darüber hinaus noch eine Anformung 12 auf, die jeweils zu einem zugeordneten Kontakt 4 des Steckanschlusses weist und deren Ende mit dem Kontakt verbunden ist.
Die Verdrahtungsstruktur innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 ist im wesentlichen T-förmig gestaltet. Wenngleich vorzugsweise daher auch ein T-förmiges Gehäuse vorgesehen ist, ist dieses jedoch nicht zwingend notwendig, das Gehäuse kann ggf. auch eine andere geometrische Form aufweisen.1 consists essentially of a T-shaped housing 1, which has an upper crossbar 2 and a base 3.

This plug connection is designed as a plug connection known per se, so that commercially available plug connectors can be plugged onto it.
PG screw connections 7 are provided on both sides 6 of the crossbar, through which the ends of a conductor strand 8 are inserted into the housing. The individual conductors 9 of the conductor strand or cable are connected to one another via busbars 10. The connections of the conductors to the busbars are preferably designed as cage tension springs 11. The busbars also have a molded part 12, each of which has an associated contact 4 of the plug connection and the end of which is connected to the contact.
The wiring structure within the housing 1 is essentially T-shaped. Although a T-shaped housing is therefore preferably also provided, this is not absolutely necessary, however, the housing may also have a different geometric shape.

Ggf. kann vorgesehen sein, daß auch an den Seiten 6 des Gehäuses 1 mehrpolige Steckvorrichtungen angebracht sind und daß der Leiterstrang mittels Steckern daran angeschlossen ist.

In der Fig. 2 ist eine weitere Ausgestaltung des Leitungsverzweigers dargestellt. Dabei ist in dem Gehäuse 1 eine elektronische Schaltung 13 vorgesehen, über die die Leiter 9 des Leiterstranges geführt sind und wobei die Leiter direkt durchverbunden sind. Zwischen den Anschlüssen der Kontaktelemente 4 des Steckanschlusses 5 sind hier nicht näher dargestellte Schaltmittel vorgesehen, mittels denen der an den Steckanschluß angeschlossene Verbraucher geschaltet werden kann. Die Ansteuerung der Schaltmittel erfolgt über separate Steuerleitungen oder über Steuerleitungen, die neben den Leitern 9 in dem Kabel des Leiterstranges vorgesehen sind.
Die elektronische Schaltung kann dabei auch noch mit Leuchtanzeigen 14, wie z. B. Leuchtdioden, sowie Tastern bzw. Schaltern 15 versehen sein, die von der Außenseite des Gehäuses sichtbar bzw. zugänglich sind. Die Leuchtanzeigen dienen dabei zur Betriebs- bzw. Statusanzeige des angeschlossenen Verbrauchers und mit den Tastern bzw. Schaltern kann die Logik der elektronischen Schaltung im Störungsfalle zurückgesetzt bzw. beeinflußt werden.2 shows a further embodiment of the line splitter. In this case, an electronic circuit 13 is provided in the housing 1, via which the conductors 9 of the conductor strand are guided and the conductors are directly connected.

Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Signale zur Ansteuerung der Schaltmittel auf die die elektrische Leistung übertragenden Leiter 9 des Leiterstranges aufmoduliert sind. Dabei ist dann in der elektronischen Schaltung eine Logik zur Erkennung und Dekodierung vorgesehen, die die Steuersignale erkennt und die entsprechende Ansteuerung der Schaltmittel bewirkt.It can also be provided that the signals for controlling the Switching means on the conductor 9 of the conductor strand transmitting the electrical power are modulated. It is then in the electronic circuit logic for detection and decoding provided the control signals recognizes and causes the corresponding control of the switching means.

Um eine Beeinflussung der Steuersignale durch den Leitern 9 des Leiterstranges überlagerte Störsignale zu vermeiden kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Steuersignale als optische Signale über Lichtwellenleiter in das Gehäuse 1 geführt sind. Zur Umsetzung der optischen Signale in elektrische Signale zur Ansteuerung der Schaltmittel ist dann eine entsprechende Einrichtung in der elektronischen Schaltung 13 vorgesehen.In order to influence the control signals by the conductors 9 of the conductor strand To avoid superimposed interference signals can also be provided be that the control signals as optical signals via optical fibers in the housing 1 are guided. To convert the optical signals into electrical Signals to control the switching means is then a corresponding one Device provided in the electronic circuit 13.
