Abstract
The invention relates to a frame section (10) for a framework (1) of a rack, switchgear cabinet, or table system (30) and to a framework, switchgear cabinet, or table system comprising a frame section of this type. The section provides a wide range of mounting options with a simple construction by consisting of a support section and a conduit (20) housed therein, with several busbars (21) that are embedded in insulation (22) in the conduit and which run in the longitudinal direction of the support section and are accessible from a longitudinal side of the frame
Claims15
A frame section for use in a framework having an interior and an exterior, the frame section comprising:
- a support section including a cavity extending in a longitudinal direction, the cavity being at least partially open along an interior longitudinal side, the longitudinal side facing the interior of the framework;
- a plurality of busbars embedded in insulation, the insulation comprising a plurality of longitudinal grooves having the plurality of busbars fully recessed therein, each groove being open to the cavity outward from the busbar therein such that one side of the busbar is fully uninsulated and in direct communication with the cavity, the plurality of busbars and the insulation being disposed within the cavity, extending in the longitudinal direction and accessible from the longitudinal side;
- and
- an exterior angularly-profiled wall section spaced apart from the support section, the wall section defining a fully open, recessed space for accessories at a corner region of the frame section spaced away from the longitudinal side and facing the exterior of the framework, a portion of the wall section being in a plane that intersects a plane along the longitudinal side at about 45°.
A frame section for use in a framework having an interior and an exterior, the frame section comprising:
- a cavity extending in a longitudinal direction, the cavity defined by parallel lateral walls extending in the longitudinal direction, the cavity being at least partially open along an interior longitudinal side between the lateral walls, the at least partially open longitudinal side facing the interior of the framework;
- a conduit comprising a plurality of busbars embedded in insulation, the insulation comprising a plurality of longitudinal grooves having the plurality of busbars fully recessed therein, each groove being open to the cavity outward from the busbar therein such that one side of the busbar is fully uninsulated and in direct communication with the cavity, the conduit being positioned in the cavity, extending in the longitudinal direction, and accessible from the longitudinal side;
- and
- an exterior angularly-profiled wall section spaced apart from one of the lateral walls, the angularly-profiled wall section forming a fully open, recessed space for accessories at a corner region of the frame section spaced away from the longitudinal side and facing the exterior of the framework, a portion of the wall section being in a plane that intersects a plane alone the longitudinal side at about 45°.
A framework comprising at least one frame leg configured as a frame section comprising:
- a support section including a cavity extending in a longitudinal direction, the cavity being at least partially open along an interior longitudinal side, the longitudinal side facing the interior of the framework;
- a conduit comprising a plurality of busbars embedded in insulation, the insulation comprising a plurality of longitudinal grooves having the plurality of busbars fully recessed therein, each groove being open to the cavity outward from the busbar therein such that one side of the busbar is fully uninsulated and in direct communication with the cavity, the conduit being disposed within the cavity, extending in the longitudinal direction and accessible from the longitudinal side;
- and
- an exterior angularly-profiled wall section spaced apart from the support section, the wall section defining a fully open, recessed for accessories at a corner region of the frame section spaced away from the longitudinal side and facing the exterior of the framework, a portion of the wall section being in a plane that intersects a plane along the longitudinal side at about 45°.
