Definitions

  • the invention relates to a service switching device with a double break, a contact bridge, which is spent by a striker against the pressure of a contact spring in a Ausschaltesch in the open position, for at least one Polstrompfad, operable by a switch lock pusher, in which the striker is guided the contact bridge is received in a slot formed by two legs projecting in the same direction and of the pusher, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Generic service switching devices such as motor protection switch, have at least one Polstrompfad with a double contact point and two fixed contact pieces and two arranged on a movable contact bridge movable contact pieces.
  • the contact bridge is acted upon by means of a pusher in the opening direction and a contact pressure spring in the closing direction.
  • generic installation switching devices include an electromagnetic release whose armature strikes the contact bridge in the opening direction when a short-circuit current occurs in the pole current path via the pusher as well as the latching point of a Unlocks switching mechanism, so that the switching mechanism via a knuckle the contact bridge permanently applied against the force of the contact pressure spring opening.
  • the follower pin lagging slider can slow this counter-movement of the contact bridge, so that the contact bridge is prevented from closing the contacts before the active lever, which lags the striker pin still further due to the greater mechanical inertia of the switching mechanism, finally the contact bridge permanently over the slide in open position.
  • the invention is therefore characterized in that the distance between the two legs to each other tapers towards the free end, wherein the distance at the free end is less than the width of the contact bridge, so that they can jam in an elimination between the legs. This results in a clamping region at the free end of the legs, and in the region between the free end of the legs and the point of attachment of the legs to the pusher, a guide region is created, in which the contact bridge is movably guided.
  • the legs are resiliently formed.
  • they can be bent towards one another toward the free end. You could also be in the region of their free ends V-shaped angled towards each other.
  • the advantageous effect of the design according to the invention of a generic service switching device is that when the contact bridge hits the latter, it is jammed between the legs of the pusher and, as a result, the contact bridge bounces too early in the direction of the closed position is prevented. If the contact bridge is clamped, it can only move along with the pusher.
  • means are provided, which can spend the contact bridge again free of the legs due to a movement of the pusher. This is helpful if, after opening the contact bridge, for example when the short circuit has subsided, the service switching device is to be switched on again by a reclosing operation.
  • the above-mentioned means are a web or a pin, against which the contact bridge in Ausschaltwolf applies, so that upon further movement of the pusher of the web or the pin in the direction of elimination, the contact bridge free again from the thighs spends.
  • This further movement of the pusher can take place when resetting, for example, that the pusher is pressed by the active lever a little further in the direction of the open position.
  • the contact bridge can no longer follow this further movement of the pusher, and it is thereby spent against the clamping frictional force relative to the direction of longitudinal extension of the legs back into the guide portion of the slot, where they return to their Closing position can be pressed.
  • a further advantageous embodiment may be provided as a means and a spring which moves the contact bridge in the off position from the clamping area between the legs with further movement of the pusher, so that the contact bridge is spent in the guide area free of the legs. Unclamping of the contact bridge by the spring happens when the restoring force of the compressed spring is greater than the clamping force exerted by the legs on the contact bridge.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 each identical or equivalent elements or assemblies are each denoted by the same reference numerals.
  • the Fig. 1 shows an inventive switching device 1 with a Polstrompfad 2 between an input terminal 3 and an output terminal 4. It could for example be a Polstrompfad a three-pole motor protection switch, the other two Polstrompfade are constructed appropriately, but not shown here.
  • the Polstrompfad 2 comprises two fixed contact pieces 5, 6 and two arranged on a movable contact bridge 7 movable contact pieces 8, 9, through which a contact point 10 is formed with double interruption.
  • the contact bridge 7 is acted upon by a contact pressure spring 11 in the closing direction, see directional arrow S.
  • a pusher 12 which engages the contact pressure spring 11 opposite side of the contact bridge 7, this can be applied in the opening direction, see direction arrow O.
  • the Polstrompfad 2 still includes only for the sake of completeness with illustrated thermal release 113 and an electromagnetic release 13 with a movable armature, which in the case of a occurring in the Polstrompfad 2 short-circuit current due to electrodynamic forces on the pusher 12, the contact bridge 7 opens in the opening direction, indicated by the action line 14.
  • the armature of the electromagnetic release 13 acts in the event of a short circuit on a switching mechanism 15 and unlocks its Verklinkungsstelle, indicated by the action line 16, so that the switching mechanism 15 in the unlatched state via an active lever 17, indicated by the action line 18, the pusher 12 permanently applied in the opening direction of the contact bridge 7.
  • At high short-circuit currents and an electrodynamic opening of the double pad 10 may occur due to the current flow in the Polstrompfad.
  • thermal release 113 which also acts in the case of an overcurrent on the switching mechanism 15, indicated by the action line 114, is known in principle and not the subject of the present invention.
  • the mechanical system comprising the switching mechanism 15 and the active lever 17 may be, for example, a toggle lever system with a two-stage latch.
  • the active lever 17 is designed as a double arm, the first acted upon by the switching mechanism 15 lever arm 171 and the second, cooperating with the pusher 12 lever arm 172 form an obtuse angle with each other and is rotatably mounted in a stationary axis of rotation 173, whereby the active lever 17 acts as a lever.
  • the active lever could also have a different shape.
  • This mechanical system just described has a certain mechanical inertia, which after unlatching a certain time, for example, 3 ms, passes before the active lever 17 hits the pusher 12 to apply this permanently in the opening direction.
  • the time to the direct opening of the contact bridge 7 by the here acting as a hammer armature armature of the electromagnetic release 13 is much shorter; for example, it is only 1 ms.
  • the pusher 12 is according to the embodiment of the DE 10 2006 055 007.2 designed in two parts and includes a slider 19 and a striker 20. As in the sectional view of Fig. 1b can be seen, the pusher 12 is an elongated member having an approximately cylindrical basic shape.
  • the striking pin 20 is also in the closing or opening direction of the contact bridge 7 in a second, channel-like opening 22 in the slide 19 movably guided. It projects beyond the slide 19 in the direction of the point of the impact anchor.
  • a first shoulder 23 is formed, which serves as an upper stop for the contact bridge 7.
  • a second shoulder 24 is formed on the slide 19, which serves as a point of attack for the active lever 17.
  • the first opening 21 is formed by two fork-like projections or legs 30, 31 projecting in the longitudinal direction of the slider 19 and take the contact bridge 7 between them.
  • the free ends 32, 33 of the tines 30, 31 take between them a smaller distance A to each other than the distance A w at the shoulder 23.
  • the distance A is also less than the width B of the contact bridge 7.
  • the shape the legs 30, 31 shown slightly curved; Of course, it is also possible, the legs 30, 31 approximately at an angle in their midst, so that they form a V-shape in the region of the free ends.
  • a clamping area for clamping the contact bridge 7 and between the free ends 33, 32 and the first paragraph 23, where the legs 30, 31 attach to the pusher body, is formed Guide area for the contact bridge, in which it is moveable.
  • the Doppelutton 10 When entering the narrowed area takes the contact bridge 7 the slider 19 with a certain distance, wherein the slide 19, even if it is taken due to the return movement of the contact bridge 7 of this due to the friction (deadlock), then held by the active lever 17. In any case, the Doppelutton 10 remains open. It is essential that the distance of the narrowing of the tines or the opening 21 from the shoulder 23 is sufficiently large.
  • a pin 41 is integrally formed, which engages in the slot 21 partially.
  • the contact bridge 7 passes in the immediate vicinity of the end of the pin 41 and the contact bridge 7 can come by further depression of the slider 19 (for example, by a reset button) free of the projections, so that the contact bridge 7 is moved from the contact spring back into the closed position ,
  • a pin 41 may also be a compression spring 45, see Fig. 4 be provided, which is to be sized accordingly, so that they can overcome the frictional force when an engagement is made.
  • a further advantageous effect of the embodiment according to the invention also appears when the impact movement of the contact bridge should not be sufficient to beat it far enough into the clamping area that it is firmly clamped there. Because due to the curved inner contour of the slot, which is formed by the curved shape of the legs, arises even in a region which is still just above the clamping area, a certain friction between the contact bridge 7 and the inner sides of the legs 30,31. This is a transitional area between the guide area and the clamping area. Due to the friction between the contact bridge 7 and the legs 30, 31 in the intermediate region, the movement of the contact bridge 7 there is already slowed relative to the legs 30,31. This results in a delay in the movement of the contact bridge even if it should not be completely pressed into the clamping area. The delay thus achieved can already be sufficient to effectively avoid contact bounce.
  • the effect according to the invention described above also occurs when the opening of the contact bridge is initially not performed by the striker, but due to an electrodynamic repulsion between the fixed and movable contact pieces. Particularly at high current levels of a short-circuit current, the electrodynamic repulsion is faster than the reaction time of the electromagnetic release 13.
  • the armature of the electromagnetic release 13 therefore follows the electrodynamic repulsion of the contact point 10. But even if the contact bridge 7 is pressed down due to an electrodynamic repulsion in the clamping region of the slot 21, the clamping effect enters the clamping area, and thus the beneficial effect of delaying the rebound of the contact bridge.
