CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    The present application is a 373 national phase filing of International Application No. PCT/EP2015/050260, entitled “COMPONENT MOUNTING SYSTEM COMPRISING A COMPONENT MODULE”, filed 8 Jan. 2015, which claims priority to German Patent Application No. 10 2014 101 461.8, entitled “Komponentenmontagesystem mit Komponententnodul”, filed 6 Feb. 2014. 
     
    
     BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    The present disclosure relates to a component mounting system comprising an insertable electrical component module. 
         [0003]    Printed publication EP 0 734 330 B1 relates to a fastening and lifting system for electric vehicle batteries having a strap situated around the batteries by means of which the batteries are bound into a battery pack. 
         [0004]    When replacing batteries, a tool is often used to open a housing, yet said tool is then unsuited to extracting the batteries. 
         [0005]    The task on which the present disclosure is based is that of enabling the tool-free replacement of electrical components. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0006]    The subject matter solves this task by means of the features of the independent claims. Examples of the principles of this disclosure constitute the subject matter of the figures, the description and the dependent claims. 
         [0007]    According to one aspect of the disclosure, the task is solved by a component mounting system comprising an electrical component module having a positioning bolt; a retainer case for the insertion of the component module; and an extraction device for extracting the component module out of the retainer case which has an opening for seating the extraction device onto the positioning bolt of the component module. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, enabling faster replacement of the electrical component. No rear grip or recess open at the edge is required. 
         [0008]    In one example of the component mounting system, the extraction device has a first and a second opening. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, a force couple being able to be exerted on the component module and being able to prevent tilting during extraction. 
         [0009]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the extraction device is formed by a flexible tongue-shaped flat piece. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, being able to easily seat the extraction device onto the component module. 
         [0010]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the extraction device is made of plastic or rubber. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, a simple manufacturing process for the extraction device. 
         [0011]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the extraction device has a hand opening for manual accessing of the extraction device. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, preventing slippage when pulling on the extraction device. 
         [0012]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the extraction device comprises a surface structure profile to prevent slippage when manually pulling on the extraction device. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, being able to exert a high force on the extraction device. 
         [0013]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the positioning bolt is arranged on an upper side of the electrical component module. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, being able to easily seat the extraction device onto the component module from above. 
         [0014]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the positioning bolt is made of metal. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, a positioning bolt of high stability. 
         [0015]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the component module has a first and second positioning bolt. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, facilitating the extraction of the component module. Even should one positioning bolt be damaged, the component module can be extracted by means of the other positioning bolt. 
         [0016]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the first and the second positioning bolt are arranged side by side in a direction of extraction. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of for example, a force couple being able to be exerted on the component module and being able to prevent tilting during extraction. 
         [0017]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the positioning bolt is curved opposite to an extraction direction. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, preventing the extraction device from slipping. 
         [0018]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the retainer case has a door to cover the component module. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of for example, preventing the component module from being contaminated. 
         [0019]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the extraction device comprises a die-cut operation pictogram. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of for example, the operation pictogram being permanently visible to a user. 
         [0020]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the electrical component is a rectangular-shaped battery. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of, for example, realizing a replaceable energy supply in which a used battery can be replaced by a fresh battery without the use of any tool. 
         [0021]    In a further example of the component mounting system, the positioning bolt is formed by a terminal of the battery. This thereby achieves the technical advantage of for example, realizing a positioning bolt able to be used both as a voltage source as well as for the extraction of the battery.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0026]      FIG. 1  shows a view of a component mounting system  100  for electrical components. The component mounting system  100  comprises a retainer case  105  for accommodating the electrical components, The retainer case  105  comprises a wall-mount device  113  by means of which the retainer case  105  can be affixed to a wall. The retainer case  105  is made for example of plastic. 
         [0027]    The front of the retainer case  105  can be closed by a hinged door  111 . The door  111  is held in the closed state by a locking device  115 . The retainer case  105  can contain an electronic component, the service life of which is limited and which needs to be replaced after a certain period of time such as, for example, a lead-acid battery. Replacement is often only possible by technically trained personnel and with the use of a tool. 
         [0028]      FIG. 2  shows a view of an open retainer case  105  with inserted component module  101  and an extraction device  107 . The pivot-mounted door  111  is hinged downward. No tool is needed to open the retainer case  105 . 
         [0029]    Two removable electrical component modules  101  are situated in the retainer case  105 . Each component module  101  has two positioning bolts  103 - 1  and  103 - 2  which are arranged on an upper side of the component module  101  and project out of said component module  101 . The positioning bolts  103 - 1  and  103 - 2  are accessible from the front of the retainer case  105 . The positioning bolts  103 - 1  and  103 - 2  can be formed for example by a metal pin. 
         [0030]    An extraction device  107  having two openings  109 - 1  and  109 - 2  is used to remove the component module  101 , same being set onto the positioning bolts  103 - 1  and  103 - 2 . from above. The component module  101  is drawn out of the retainer case  105  by pulling on the extraction device  107 . The force is thereby transferred to the positioning bolts  103 - 1  and  103 - 2  via the two openings  109 - 1  and  109 - 2 . 
         [0031]    After the retainer case  105  is opened, the component modules  111  can be easily removed with the extraction device  107 . 
         [0032]      FIG. 3  shows a view of the component module  101  with the extraction device  107 . The component module  101  is formed for example by a rectangular lead-acid battery. The extraction device  107  is set onto the component module  101  from above. 
         [0033]    The two positioning bolts  103 - 1  and  103 - 2  are curved opposite to a direction of extraction so that the seated extraction device  107  is pressed when the upper side of the component module  101  is pulled and slippage of the extraction device  107  is prevented. The extraction device  107  can be reused on other component modules  101 . After the removal, the extraction device  107  can be set onto another component module  101  so that the extraction device  107  can be used for another removal. 
         [0034]    As a result of this configuration, the extraction device  107  can moreover be positioned directly prior to extracting the component module. It is thus not necessary to position the extraction device  107  on the component module  101  prior to insertion into the retainer case  105 . 
         [0035]    The extraction device  107  is made from a flexible or stiff plastic or rubber piece in which the two openings  109 - 1  and  109 - 2  are formed. The position of the openings  109 - 1  and  109 - 2  corresponds to the position of the positioning bolts  103 - 1  and  103 - 2  on the component module  101 . The extraction device  107  has an angled front section for manually applying a tensile force. The extraction device  107  can comprise a further opening or a surface structure profile for grasping the extraction device. A die-cut operation pictogram can be disposed on the extraction device  107 . 
         [0036]    In the case of a lead-acid battery as the component module  101 , the terminals can be used as the positioning bolts  103 - 1  and  103 - 2 . The lead-acid battery can then be easily exchanged and replaced after a particular period of use by a fresh lead-acid battery. 
         [0037]    All of the features described and shown in connection with individual examples can be provided in different combinations in the inventive subject matter so as to realize their advantageous effects simultaneously. 
         [0038]    The protective scope of the present invention is conferred by the claims and is not limited by the features defined in the description or illustrated in the figures.
