Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Unterspannungsauslöser, insbesondere koppelbar mit Niederspannungsschutzschaltern, dessen elektromagnetische Auslöseeinrichtung mit einem Anker unter Abfallen bei Unterspannung auf eine Entklinkungseinrichtung einwirkt, wobei dessen Anker mittels eines Handbedienungsgliedes und eines Haltehebels beim Einschalten am Magnetsystem der Auslöseeinrichtung angelegt wird, im einzelnen nach Gattungsbegriff von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to an undervoltage release, in particular can be coupled with low-voltage circuit breakers, whose electromagnetic release device with an armature falling under an undervoltage on a release mechanism acts, the anchor of which by means of a manual control element and a holding lever when switching on Magnetic system of the trigger device is created, in detail according to the generic term of claim 1.

Der Haltehebel hält den Anker zumindest nahe an den Polen des Magnetsystems, bis durch Einschalten mittels eines Hilfsschalters am Anker Spannung angelegt wird, die diesen bei regulären Bedingungen am Magnetsystem halten kann. Diese Einschaltung erfolgt voreilend bezüglich einer gedachten Systemeinschaltstellung, die beispielsweise durch zu koppelnde Leitungsschutzschalter vorgegeben ist.The holding lever keeps the anchor at least close to the poles of the Magnet system until switched on by means of an auxiliary switch voltage is applied to the anchor, which at regular conditions on the magnet system. This Switching on is premature with regard to an imaginary one System switch-on setting, for example, to be coupled Miniature circuit breaker is specified.

Ein bekannter derartiger Unterspannungsauslöser (DE-C-33 08 437) arbeitet mit einem gesonderten Kraftspeicher für das Magnetsystem.A known undervoltage release of this type (DE-C-33 08 437) works with a separate energy accumulator for the magnet system.

Bei einem anderen bekannten Unterspannungsauslöser (DE-C-31 14 717) soll der Aufbau vereinfacht werden; er arbeitet mit einem Andrückhebel und einem Klinkenhebel mit einer gemeinsamen Achse. Um die Auslösezeit eines Systems zu verringern, wird bei einem anderen Unterspannungsauslöser (EP-A-0 331 586) bei einer im wesentlichen dreiteiligen Kinematik aus Klinkenhebel, Auslösehebel und Zwischenhebel eine dritte Achse im Vergleich zum zuvor genannten Auslöser eingeführt.Another known undervoltage release (DE-C-31 14 717) the structure is to be simplified; he works with a pressure lever and a ratchet lever a common axis. To trigger a system will decrease with another undervoltage release (EP-A-0 331 586) in an essentially three-part Kinematics of ratchet lever, release lever and intermediate lever a third axis compared to the aforementioned trigger introduced.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, mit einfachen und übersichtlichen Bauteilen einen Unterspannungsauslöser zu entwickeln, der an die verschiedenartigsten Anforderungen in einfacher Weise angepaßt werden kann.The invention has for its object with simple and clear components to an undervoltage release develop to meet the most diverse requirements in can be easily adjusted.

Die Lösung der geschilderten Aufgabe erfolgt durch einen Unterspannungsauslöser nach Anspruch 1. Der Haltehebel ist danach von einer mit dem Handbedienungsglied gekoppelten Kulisse bis zur Anlage des Ankers am Magnetsystem geführt, wobei die Kulisse kinematisch anschließend einen Freigabebereich aufweist. Die Klinke der Entklinkungseinrichtung ist dabei hinsichtlich des Hilfsschalter und seines Aufbaus so geformt und bzw. oder so positioniert, daß eine Einwirkungsstelle zum Betätigen des Hilfsschalters gebildet ist, wobei in der Einschaltstellung des Unterspannungsauslösers zumindest eine Kontaktstrecke des Hilfsschalters geschlossen ist, um die Wicklung des Magnetsystems an Spannung zu legen. Durch den Freigabebereich der Klinke entfällt, beispielsweise im Vergleich zu einem Unterspannungsauslöser nach DE-C-33 08 437, beim Magnetsystem ein zusätzlicher Kraftspeicher, der durch Niederdrücken gespannt werden muß, um den Anker des Magnetsystems für eine Auslösung freizugeben. Durch die Formgebung der Klinke, die eine Einwirkungsstelle zum Betätigen des Hilfsschalters bildet, können marktgängige Hilfsschalter in geeigneter Weise als Bauteile eingesetzt und angeordnet werden. Durch die Entkopplung von Klinke und Haltehebel läßt sich das beim Einschalten auf die Klinke ausgeübte Drehmoment gemäß Anspruch 2 so steuern, daß bei ausreichend großen Schaltkräften, auch zum Betätigen des Hilfsschalters, dennoch vergleichsweise schwache Verklinkungskräfte anstehen.The described task is solved by a Undervoltage release according to claim 1. The holding lever is then from one coupled to the hand control Back to the anchor system on the magnet system, the backdrop then kinematically a release area having. The pawl of the unlatching device is with regard to the auxiliary switch and its structure shaped and / or positioned so that a site of action is formed to operate the auxiliary switch, wherein in the on position of the undervoltage release at least one contact path of the auxiliary switch closed is to apply voltage to the winding of the magnet system. The release area of the jack eliminates, for example compared to an undervoltage release DE-C-33 08 437, in the magnet system an additional energy store, which must be tensioned by pressing down on the To release the armature of the magnet system for tripping. By the shape of the pawl, which acts as a point of action Pressing the auxiliary switch forms can be marketable Auxiliary switches used in a suitable manner as components and to be ordered. By decoupling the jack and Holding lever that can be switched on the pawl control the torque applied according to claim 2 so that at sufficiently large switching forces, also for actuating the Auxiliary switch, yet comparatively weak latching forces queue.

Wenn der Hilfsschalter mit zwei elektrisch parallel liegenden Schaltstrecken auf einem Träger nach Anspruch 3 versehen ist, erzielt man eine vom übrigen System unabhängige und einfache Justiermöglichkeit.If the auxiliary switch with two electrically parallel Switching paths on a carrier is provided according to claim 3, you achieve a simple and independent of the rest of the system Adjustment possibility.

Wenn der Unterspannungsauslöser nach Anspruch 4 mit sechs Anschlüssen versehen ist, zwei für das Magnetsystem der Auslöseeinrichtung und vier für den Hilfsschalter, kann man dem Hilfsschalter eingangsseitig eine hohe Betriebsspannung zuführen, die ausgangsseitig durch einen Steuertrafo für die Spule des Magnetsystems herabgesetzt wird, wie es in FIG 11 veranschaulicht ist.If the undervoltage release according to claim 4 with six Is provided, two for the magnet system of the Tripping device and four for the auxiliary switch, one can the auxiliary switch has a high operating voltage on the input side feed the output side through a control transformer for the Coil of the magnet system is reduced, as shown in FIG. 11 is illustrated.

Da der Haltehebel den Anker nahe an den Polschuhen des Magnetsystems hält, kommt man mit einfachen Magnetsystemen und ungeschliffenen Polflächen aus. Durch einen Unterspannungsauslöser nach Anspruch 5, bei dem das Magnetsystem über eine Schaltung gespeist ist, die die Spannung gleichrichtet und ggf. aufbereitet oder auf andere Werte umsetzt, kann man mit vergleichsweise einfachen und preisgünstigen Magnetsystemen brummfrei arbeiten. Der sonst ohne aufwendige besondere Vorkehrungen übliche Brumm eines mit Wechselspannung betriebenen Magnetsystems kann dadurch auf wirtschaftliche Weise vermieden werden.Since the holding lever the anchor close to the pole pieces of the Magnet system holds, you come with simple magnet systems and unpolished pole faces. With an undervoltage release according to claim 5, wherein the magnet system over a circuit is fed that rectifies the voltage and, if necessary, processed or converted to other values, one can with comparatively simple and inexpensive magnet systems work hum-free. The otherwise without elaborate special precautions usual humming one with AC voltage operated magnet system can be economical Way to be avoided.

Der erfindungsgemäße Aufbau eines Unterspannungsauslös.ers ermöglicht es, nach Anspruch 6 einen Arbeitsstromauslöser mit weniger, im übrigen mit gleichen Bauteilen, abzuleiten.The construction of an undervoltage release according to the invention enables a shunt release according to claim 6 less, otherwise with the same components.

Die Anlage für den Justierarm des Hilfsschalters kann durch einen Aufbau nach Anspruch 7 fertigungsgünstig verstellt werden und dadurch justiert werden.The system for the adjustment arm of the auxiliary switch can by a structure according to claim 7 adjusted manufacturing and be adjusted.

Der Unterspannungsauslöser kann nach Anspruch 8 mit einem Hilfsschalter arbeiten, dessen Schaltstrecken nach dem Prinzip eines Schnappschalters ausgeführt sind. Hierbei ist die Einwirkungsstelle von der Klinke her beim Hilfsschalter als Stößel ausgeführt, dessen Eindringtiefe die Stellung der Schnappschalter steuert.The undervoltage release can according to claim 8 with a Auxiliary switches work, the switching distances after the Principle of a snap switch are executed. Here is the point of action from the pawl at the auxiliary switch executed as a plunger, the depth of penetration of the position of the Snap switch controls.

Die Kulisse für den Haltehebel kann nach Anspruch 9 im Handbedienungsglied in einem Walzenkörper mit der Lagerstelle des Handbedienungsgliedes ausgeführt sein, in dem ein Bogensteg längs eines Sektors am Walzenkörper ausgebildet ist. The backdrop for the holding lever can be according to claim 9 in the hand control in a roller body with the bearing of the Manual control member to be executed in which an arch bridge is formed along a sector on the roller body.
