Device housing for an electrical device
Various embodiments include device housing for an electrical device comprising: an inner housing with a first lower shell and a first upper shell; and an outer housing with a second lower shell and a second upper shell. There is a cable insertion opening defined by a cable seating profile in the first lower shell and a flush cable cover profile in the first upper shell for a cable routed to the device; a clamping body retained by the inner housing; and a friction and/or form-fitting contact between the clamping body and the cable can be effected by means of the outer housing when the clamping body is pressed onto an outer surface of the cable by the upper shell of the outer housing.
1. A device housing for an electrical device, the housing comprising:
an inner housing with a first lower shell and a first upper shell; and
an outer housing with a second lower shell and a second upper shell;
a cable insertion opening defined by a cable seating profile in the first lower shell and a flush cable cover profile in the first upper shell for a cable routed to the device;
a clamping body retained by the inner housing; and
a friction and/or form-fitting contact between the clamping body and the cable can be effected by means of the outer housing when the clamping body is pressed onto an outer surface of the cable by the upper shell of the outer housing;
wherein a frame of the first upper shell surrounds an area on an edge of the first lower shell with the cable seating profile; and
the inner housing retains the clamping body with the frame of the first upper shell and an edge of the first lower shell.
2. The device housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises a collar connected to the first upper shell.
3. The device housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the frame flush with the cable cover profile of the first upper shell of the inner housing has a corresponding recess belonging to the cable cover profile.
4. The device housing as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a multiplicity of cable insertion openings;
wherein multiple cables inserted into one cable insertion opening can be individually fixed by exactly one clamping body.
5. The device housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the clamping body comprises an elastically compressible material;
the clamping body is compressible by the outer housing; and
when compressed by the outer housing, the clamping body exerts friction-fitting contact between the clamping body and each cable routed to the device.
6. The device housing as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the clamping body is compressed and/or the form- and/or friction-fitting profile of the clamping body is pressed by a locating surface of the upper shell of the outer housing, which upon connection of the upper shell of the outer housing to the lower shell of the outer housing comes into contact with a free surface of the clamping body held in a frame.
7. The device housing as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a form- and/or friction-fitting profile of the clamping body facing the surface of the cable routed to the device;
wherein the form- and/or friction-fitting profile of the clamping body is pressed into the cable surface by the outer housing creating the form- and/or friction contact between the clamping body and each cable.
8. A system comprising:
a device housing as claimed in claim 1 ; and
a clamping body having a number of clamping body recesses corresponding to a number of cables to be routed to the device and a number of clamping body blanking covers corresponding to a number of cable insertion openings minus a number of cables to be routed to the device.
9. The system as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a multiplicity of clamping bodies each with a respective number of clamping body recesses and clamping body blanking covers and/or clamping body recesses and clamping body blanking covers at different points.
