Description

Fault/differential current protection switch and the unit equipment that constitutes by itself and line protection switch
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of failure current protection switch or differential current protection switch and relate to a kind of unit equipment that constitutes by line protection switch and failure current protection switch or differential current protection switch.
Background technology
Failure current protection switch has the task as differential current protection switch, i.e. the detection failure electric current.The present invention especially tells about a kind of test function: especially produce measuring current by closed test circuit and detect in the framework of test function, whether protection switch is made as the identical correct reaction of the reflection that fault current is made measuring current.
Usually, connect test circuit by pushing testing button.Such testing button is for example described in DE 102 20 622 A1 and EP 1 492 140 A1.With open among JP 2932242 B2, testing button is directly adjacent to the setting of on-off operation bar.Protection switch has such action bars usually.Because action bars requires a lot of spaces, the installing space that is used for testing button so just is restricted, so the setting of testing button is problematic.The user not only must touch action bars but also will touch testing button.For this reason, the space must be used for explanatory note, and this literal explanation must be able to be operated personnel and read.
Summary of the invention
Be the unit equipment that a kind of failure current protection switch, differential current protection switch is provided or constitutes by such protection switch with line protection switch order of the present invention; this protection switch or unit equipment have test function; wherein, occupied space is utilized as far as possible well.
Order of the present invention ground is realized by failure current protection switch according to claim 1 or differential current protection switch or by unit equipment according to claim 9.
According to the present invention; protection switch has can be by the reference test bar main body of operating personnel's deflection between first final position and second final position; wherein, the measuring current of (especially by connecting contact) connection test circuit and flow simulating fault current in the predetermined position of reference test bar main body.
Therefore, the present invention abandons the use test button.Thus, an on-off operation bar to be set after all promptly, be suitable for this action bars and can be by operating personnel contact and the reference test bar main body of handling thereby can be provided with.The problem of Chu Xianing in the time of promptly near testing button is in action bars, may be pushed testing button mistakenly when the manipulation operations bar in the prior art, be can not produce similar problem on the reference test bar main body, and protection switch can be constructed compactly.
In a preferred embodiment, the predetermined position of the reference test bar main body of connection test circuit is the centre position of the reference test bar main body between two final positions.Cautiously consider in this embodiment, promptly when bringing the reference test bar main body into its another final position from its final position, only occupy the predetermined position of test lever body in short time.Certainly, when measuring current only flowed in short time, this was fully enough for test function.
In a preferred embodiment, metal bending thing is engaged on the reference test bar main body, and is engaged to the position that keeps certain distance with the rotation of reference test bar main body.The bending thing with predetermined position in two contacts of bridge joint or in predetermined position, affact on the pressure switch alternatively.
The bending thing can fully bear gravity, thereby freely hangs bending thing end from above.If the reference test bar main body is rotated, the default optimum seeking site of reference test bar main body is so so, and promptly metal bending thing position engaged reaches its minimum point when this position.Then, bending thing end reaches its minimum point and two contacts of bridge joint or masterpiece used on the pressure switch in short time too.Then, when further rotating the reference test bar main body, bending thing end is removed from contact or pressure switch again.
As already described, can realize testing the favourable setting of lever body, this is arranged under the situation of Test Switchboard and is not presented.As the on-off operation bar of fault current protection switch or differential current protection switch, the reference test bar main body can be preferably around its rotation rotation and by this particularly preferably is set directly at action bars.According to protection switch of the present invention the time, this preferred embodiment allows special compact structure.
Propose among the present invention, the operation of reference test bar main body and the operation of action bars can be coupled by any way.
Propose as a kind of measure, as the open position of action bars, first final position of reference test bar main body has the identical position, angle with respect to rotation, and as the on-position of action bars, second final position of reference test bar main body has the identical position, angle with respect to rotation.In other words, the range of deflection of reference test bar main body is identical with the range of deflection of action bars, and this has alleviated the coupling of reference test bar main body and action bars.
The coupling of reference test bar main body and action bars also alleviates in one case, and the surface of the reference test bar main body that can be touched by operating personnel has the surperficial identical cross section with the action bars that can be touched by operating personnel.If the reference test bar main body directly is arranged on by the action bars, this means the reference test bar main body and the action bars that form a subcontinuous operating area and can especially easily touch and handle so.
Coupling between reference test bar main body and action bars also can realize by synchronous piece.This synchronous piece for example can constitute in this wise, and promptly only the reference test bar main body must deflect into second final position from its first final position and action bars is automatically moved in its on-position by its open position.Synchronous piece and especially same synchronous piece can produce such effect, promptly with action bars when its on-position deflects into its open position, reference test bar main body together (from its second final position) moves to its first final position.
By a kind of measure in back,, then stoped the deflection of reference test bar main body in case protection switch keeps disconnecting.This is significant fully because when the protection switch that disconnects flowing test electric current not.Or rather, only when action bars was in its on-position, it also was significant allowing measuring current to flow.

Embodiment
Failure current protection switch with 10 marks has action bars 12 in a conventional manner in the whole text, utilizes this action bars can switch on and off failure current protection switch.Action bars 12 illustrates in Fig. 7 fully.This action bars is by transmitting other parts acting in conjunction of connecting rod 14 and failure current protection switch, and these other parts are not shown in Figure 1, and this is because as broad as long with prior art with regard to the mode of operation of action bars 12.
It is other that reference test bar main body 16 is set directly at action bars 12.Reference test bar main body 16 can be around same rotation rotation as action bars 12.This reference test bar main body is shown in Figure 6 fully.Action bars 12 has the operating surface 18 that can be touched by operating personnel.Reference test bar main body 16 has same operating surface 20, and this operating surface has and operating surface 18 identical cross-sectional profiles.Operating surface 20 directly is connected on the operating surface 18 and prolongs this operating surface on the direction of the rotation that is parallel to action bars 12 and reference test bar main body 16.Therefore, action bars 12 and reference test bar main body 16 can common each other especially well deflections.This common deflection (perhaps being called synchronous rotation) should be especially shown in Figure 1 action bars 12 open position and take place between the on-position of action bars 12 shown in figure 2.Move in order to alleviate coupling, action bars 12 comprises jut shown in Figure 7 24 on the matrix 22 of annular, also this jut is called bolt.The limb 26 that is formed on the reference test bar main body 16 is more longer and narrower than the matrix 22 of the annular of action bars 12, and this can realize that jut 24 is engaged under the limb 26.Yet, the limb 28 that is connected to the reference test bar main body 16 on the limb 26 design broad, for example width is identical with the matrix 22 of the annular of action bars 12.Sync edge 30 is provided thus.If reference test bar main body 16 is deflected, sync edge 30 just affacts on the jut 24 so, thereby forces action bars 12 and the common deflection of reference test bar main body.Therefore, according to the situation of Fig. 1 to according to the situation transition of Fig. 2 the time, operating personnel only need to handle reference test bar main body 16 basically, action bars 12 rotates jointly.
In contrast, if action bars 12 automatically jumps back to the open position from on-position when fault current, so with regard to that aspect of action bars, this joystick is driving reference test bar main body 16 with this side in the opposite direction.Therefore, this is very significant, because when failure current protection switch 10 disconnected, reference test bar main body 16 should be returned its original position.
Jut 24 do not stop reference test bar main body 16 can not rely on action bars 12 in the open position of action bars 12 on the direction to returning deflection.Then, when this deflection, test circuit can be switched on.This takes place by a metal bending thing 32.In Fig. 1, can see this metal bending thing 32 well.This metal bending thing is engaged in the space 34 of reference test bar main body 16 shown in Figure 6, and wherein, this is engaged on shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.Space 34 is settled in this wise, promptly this bending thing 32 in the open position of reference test bar main body 16, do not contact two contacts 36 and 36 ', and promptly this bending thing in on-position, (in Fig. 2, can see) do not contact two contacts 36 and 36 ', promptly utilize just two contacts 36 of bridge joint and 36 ' and connect test circuit of its free end in this bending thing centre position shown in Figure 3 at this, thus can the flowing test electric current.Therefore, at the test lever body from on-position to returning when deflecting into the open position flowing test electric current in short time.The length that the duration of measuring current is enough, functional with the detection failure current protection switch.
In principle, also can be in the open position of reference test bar main body 16 bridge joint contact 36 and 36 ', measuring current flows constantly then.Advantageously, this of measuring current continues to flow through structural measure to be stoped, promptly contact 36 and 36 ' only in the centre position that does not occupy by reference test bar main body 16 constantly by bending thing 32 bridge joints.
The use test button in order to connect test circuit in the prior art, and application testing bar main body 16 has advantage, promptly the space that only provides for action bars in other cases is used for two parts ideally.Problem when arranging testing button is eliminated therefrom, and failure current protection switch can be constructed especially compactly.For explanatory note provides enough positions, this literal explanation can be seen by operating personnel.
