Abstract

The invention relates to a switch cabinet arrangement having at least one switch cabinet and at least one power strip, the power strip being fixed to a vertical profile inside the switch cabinet via an adapter, wherein the adapter is a hook-in adapter which has a first adapter part on the vertical profile and a second adapter part on the power strip, the power strip being hooked into the first adapter part on the vertical profile via the second adapter part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A switch cabinet arrangement comprising at least one switch cabinet and at least one power strip, wherein the at least one power strip is fixed to a vertical profile inside the at least one switch cabinet by a hook-in adapter, the hook-in adapter having a first adapter part and a second adapter part, the first adapter part has at least one shaped and/or latching piece on a fastening side of the first adapter part, the at least one shaped and/or latching piece for fixedly mounting the first adapter part in a system perforation of the vertical profile in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner, the second adapter part being hooked into the first adapter part, and the second adapter part being fixed to the at least one power strip.

2. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the second adapter part is fixed to the at least one power strip via a detachable connection.

3. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 2 , in which the detachable connection is via a screw connection.

4. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the first adapter part has a plug-in receptacle, and the second adapter part has a mushroom head which is hooked into the plug-in receptacle.

5. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 4 , in which the second adapter part has a contact side facing away from the at least one power strip, via which the second adapter part rests against the first adapter part or against the vertical profile, the mushroom head projecting from the contact side by means of a shank which is locked in the plug-in receptacle via a latching connection.

6. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 4 , in which the second adapter part is fastened to a rear side of the at least one power strip via a screw bolt, the screw bolt extending, starting from the mushroom head, through the mushroom head and the shaft into the rear side of the at least one power strip.

7. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 4 , in which the plug-in receptacle is a snap-in receptacle or a keyhole.

8. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the vertical profile is a profile rail, which is fixed via its opposite longitudinal ends within the at least one switch cabinet, wherein the first adapter part is a keyhole of a plurality of keyholes which are formed regularly spaced in a mounting side of the profile rail.

9. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the profile rail is a 19″ profile rail.

10. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the at least one shaped and/or latching piece has a shaped piece which bears in the form-fitting manner and/or force-fitting manner against a contour of the vertical profile of a framework of the at least one switch cabinet, at least one latching projection extends from the shaped piece via which the at least one shaped and/or latching piece engages in the system perforation of the vertical profile and engages behind the vertical profile.

11. The switch cabinet arrangement according claim 1 , in which the first adapter part has a plug-in receptacle for the second adapter part on an opposite side of the at least one shaped and/or latching piece.

12. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the first adapter part has a baying interface on an end face perpendicular to the fastening side.

13. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 12 , in which an extension adapter having an interface complementary to the baying interface is fixed via the baying interface, the extension adapter having a third adapter part via which a further power strip of the at least one power strip is fixed via a fourth adapter part.

14. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 13 , in which the third adapter part is identical to the first adapter part and the fourth adapter part is identical to the second adapter part.

15. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 13 , in which the first adapter part and the third adapter part each have a plug-in receptacle and preferably the same plug-in receptacle, the two plug-in receptacle of the first adapter part and the plug-in receptacle of the third adapter part being arranged in the same plane.

16. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 15 , in which the plug-in receptacle of the first adapter part is identical to the plug-in receptacle of the third adapter part.

17. The switch cabinet arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the second adapter part is connected to a rear side of the at least one power strip facing away from sockets of the at least one power strip via a tongue-and-groove connection extending in a longitudinal direction of the at least one power strip.

18. The switchgear cabinet arrangement according to claim 1 , in which the first adapter part has a plug receptacle, which is open towards an upper side of the first adapter part and towards a front side of the first adapter part facing the second adapter part and is designed so as to be undercut only in a direction perpendicular to the front side.

19. The switchgear cabinet arrangement according to claim 18 , in which the plug receptacle is a latching receptacle.
