Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a DIN rail mounting clip (100) and its arrangement in modular switchgear device (200), having two operating guides (101, 102) for both front and bottom mounting and demounting operating positions. The dual operating positions increases the operation life of the switchgear device (200) as the switchgear device can still be mounted/demounted from the DIN rail even when one of the operating guides (101, 102) got damaged. Further, the DIN rail mounting clip (100) has provision for both pin as well as fork type busbar connections. The provision of fork type busbar connection reduces the wire connections. Furthermore, the DIN rail mounting clip (100) provides provision for both tool and without tool demounting of the switchgear device (200).
The present subject matter described herein, relates to a DIN rail mounting clip and its arrangement in modular switchgear devices for mounting and de¬mounting operations without disturbing other adjacent connections. The present subject matter, in particularly, relates to a DIN rail mounting clip and its arrangement in modular switchgear device, having two sliding guides for both front and bottom mounting and demounting operating positions.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART AND PROBLEM IN PRIOR ART:
[002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[003] A DIN rail is a metal rail of a standard type widely used for mounting modular switchgear devices. Demounting of the switchgear devices from the DIN rail requires a tool, such as screw driver, wrenches or the like when it is fitted in connection with live wires in distribution boards. When multiple switchgear devices are arranged in series to each other on the DIN rail, it becomes difficult to demount a single switchgear device without disturbing adjacent switchgear devices due to space constraints.
[004] Further, the demounting provision provided on the switchgear devices is likely to break due to frequent use of tools during demounting. This leads to low operational life of the switchgear device.
[005] U.S. patent application US20180211804A1 discloses a switching device having a securing device. The securing device has a spring-elastic clipping element shaped on the housing, for force-locking securing to a carrier rail end face, and has a sliding element, which is mounted such that it can slide in a linear
manner within the housing and is coupled to the cover, for interlocking securing to the carrier rail end face opposite the clipping element.
[006] U.S. patent VS7516927B2 discloses a device for locking an electric apparatus onto a supporting rail. A device for locking an electric apparatus to a supporting rail with two opposite raised edges, the device including a first attachment unit configured to be connected with a first raised edge of the supporting rail; a second attachment unit configured to be connected with a second opposite raised edge of the supporting rail, configured to be movable in an unlocked position; and an operating element connected to the first and second attachment units and configured to convert a translation movement of the first attachment unit into a rotary movement of the second attachment unit, the second attachment unit including a rod that is configured to perform the rotary movement when actuated by the translation movement of the operating element.
[007] U.S. patent US6935903B2 discloses a mounting rail adapter comprising at least one equipment module, preferably several equipment modules, the module(s) being fixed onto a mounting rail. To mount or dismount a module from a mounting rail in a simple manner, the module is fixed onto an adapter for mounting on the mounting rail. The adapter for one embodiment fulfills its fixing function by use of a bistable snap-on process and is configured in such a way that no tool is required for the manual mounting or dismounting process. This adapter includes an actuator button used to move catch hooks against spring forces to enable mounting and dismounting of the equipment module to the adapter and also to move catch hooks to enable mounting and dismounting of adapter to the mounting rail.
[008] German Patent DE102011082953A1 discloses a modular rail mounted device for use in busbar assembly. The modular rail mounted device has functional connection element which is connected with a conductor. A cover of the functional connection element is provided with an opening for conductor. A slider set in open and closed positions is provided for locking the modular rail mounted device with respect to the busbar assembly such that the modular rail
mounted device is unlocked by the movement of the cover. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) busbar assembly; and (2) method for exchanging functional connection element of modular rail mounted device.
[009] Some prior arts describe front ended slide in the DIN rail mounting clip for tool free removal from DIN rail. But these devices are provided with only pin connections at bottom. No provision for fork type bush bar connections are provided in current mounting clips. This makes the distribution board packed with live wires and poses threat to the users and service technicians.
[0010] German Patent DE10243383B3 discloses an electrical installation device carrier rail fixing uses spring-loaded slider with retention nose secured to housing of installation device. The carrier rail fixing has a spring-loaded slider displaced perpendicular to the direction of the carrier rail and provided with a retention nose which locks behind an arm of the carrier rail. The slider is fitted to a fixing side of the housing of the installation device, with 2 flat housing sides and 2 clamping edges extending perpendicular to the carrier rail between the fixing side and the operating side of the housing, a retaining arm provided on each housing side for securing the slider to the housing.
[0011] U.S. patent US9337637 discloses a unique SLR (Slide Latch-Release) feature for tool free removal from DIN rail. It allows individual MCBs to be removed from bus mounted assembly of MCBs. However, in case, when there is any failure in the front ended slide, may be due to frequent use or while manufacturing/fitting process, the device is noted as a defected piece and can't be used. Also, it has provision of only pin connections, thus we can only have wire connections and unable to use fork type busbar for connections.
[0012] None of the prior arts discloses a modular switchgear device having two operating guides to execute mounting and demounting operation from both front and bottom of the switchgear device. Further, none of the prior arts provides the provision for both tool and tool free demounting of the switchgear devices.
[0013] Also, none of the prior arts provides provision for both pin type connections and busbar connections.
[0014] The information disclosed in this background of the disclosure section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

The spring 107 is used to transmit the sliding motion introduce by the latch 106 to the back side of the base 105. The transmitted sliding motion eventually perform the attaching/detaching operation by engaging/disengaging the attaching/detaching flange 103 fixedly secured to the back side of the base 105, from one of the outwardly extending flange 202 of a DIN rail 201.
[0051] A front operating sliding guide 102 is fixedly secured transversely to the base 105 of the bottom operated sliding guide 101 in the integration region 104. The integration region 104 implicates a region where the attaching/detaching flange 103, the bottom operated sliding guide 101 and the front operated sliding guide 102 are fixedly secured to one another. The bottom ends (108a, 108b) of the front operating sliding guide 102 is fixedly secured to the base 105 of the bottom operating sliding guide 101 in the integration region 104. This makes the front operating sliding guide 102 fixedly secured with the bottom operated sliding guide 101, which allows only a limited angle of rotation to the front operating sliding guide 102. Further, serrated teeth 113 are provided on the plurality of bottom ends 108a, 108b, adjacent to the integration region 104, of the front operated sliding guide 102 to facilitate the sliding motion of the front operated sliding guide 102 along with providing strength to the DIN rail mounting clip. The bottom ends 108a, 108b secured to the base 105 of the bottom operated sliding guide 101 positioned parallel to each other forming a vacant space in the middle and connected with each other forming a top end 109. This vacant space is provided for provisions like fork busbar and pin connections in order to connect more than one switchgear devices in series and to reduce the wiring connections.
[0052] The top end 109 has a latch 110 which is provided to introduce sliding motion in the front operated sliding guide 102. A plurality of ribs 111 are provided on the junction of the latch 110 and top end 109 of the front operated sliding guide 102 to restrict sliding motion of the DIN rail mounting clip 100 to a length ample to attach/detach the switchgear device 200 from the DIN rail 201.
[0053] The sliding motion is introduced in the front operated sliding guide 102 by pulling the latch 110. The sliding motion is transmitted to the attaching/detaching flange 103 via. plurality of bottom ends 108a, 108b of the front operated sliding guide 102, wherein the serrated teeth 113 provided on each of the bottom ends 108a, 108b facilitate in transmitting the sliding motion to the attaching/detaching flange 103. The attaching/detaching flange 103 attach/detach the switchgear device 200 from the outwardly extending flanges 202 of the DIN rail 201.
[0054] In the preferred embodiment, the DIN rail mounting clip 100 is an integrated clip molded as a single member. The main components like the bottom operating sliding guide 101, the front operating sliding guide 102 and the attaching/detaching flange is molded to form a single unit. However, the DIN rail mounting clip 100 can also be manufactured by attaching the members separately.
[0055] Referring to Figure 4, illustrating bottom view of DIN rail mounting clip and arrangement. The vacant space created in front operating sliding guide 102 has provision for both Fork busbar and pin connection. The vacant space 401 provided just below the top end 109 is used for providing provision for Fork busbar. A vacant space 402 is provided below vacant space 401 to provide provision for pin connections. These provisions increase the utility of the switchgear devices.
[0056] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 illustrating arrangement of DIN rail mounting clip in a modular switchgear device in demounting and mounting positions, respectively. The DIN rail mounting clip 100 is arranged at the bottom of the switchgear device 200. The bottom operated sliding guide 101 is placed vertically in the rear portion of the switchgear device 200, with the attaching/detaching flange 103 protruding from the switchgear device 200 to
engage/disengage from one of the outwardly extending flange 202 of the DIN rail 201. The latch 106 of the bottom operated sliding guide 101 is suspended out from the bottom of the switchgear device 200. The latch 106 suspended at the bottom of the switchgear device 200 is used by the user for attaching/detaching the switchgear device 200 from the DIN rail 201. The front operated sliding guide 102, secured at the bottom operated sliding guide 101, horizontally make an angle with the bottom operated sliding guide 101. The latch 110 advanced out from the front portion of the switchgear device 200 for tool free mounting/demounting of the switchgear device 200 from the DIN rail 201.
[0057] The mounting/demounting of the switchgear device 200 from the bottom operated sliding guide 101 is done through a tool such as screw driver, wrenches or the like, as a lot of live wires are present in that area. A tool free mounting/demounting of the switchgear device 200 is done through front operated sliding guide 102. Present subject matter provides both tool and tool free option for mounting and demounting of the switchgear device 200 which is beneficial for those people who have fear to execute demounting operation from bottom by hand due to live wire connections. A provision of fork type busbar is provided in the arrangement. Use of fork type busbar reduces existence of live wires in distribution board.
[0058] The mounting/demounting of the switchgear device 200 from the front operating sliding guide 102 is done without tool by manually pulling the latch 110 advancing out from the front portion of the switchgear device 200.
[0059] The DIN rail mounting clip of present subject matter is used in modular switchgear devices for easier mounting and demounting of switchgear devices on the DIN rail. The DIN rail mounting clip provides dual operating positions both front and back, which increases the operation life of the switchgear device as the switchgear device can still be mounted/demounted from the DIN rail even when one of the sliding guide got damaged. Further, the DIN rail mounting clip has provision for both pin as well as fork type busbar connections. The provision of fork type busbar connection reduces the wire connections.
