In addition, electric selective automatic switch according to the present invention has mobile contact 40, and it is electrically connected the first link 2 and contact bridge 20 in trouble-free situation.Mobile contact 40 and first end 42 thereof are arranged in the oscillation bearing 44, and contact 40 is contiguous at its second end 48 places and contact point 46 near contact bridge 20.The rotating shaft of oscillation bearing 44 is substantially parallel with the rotating shaft X of contact bridge 20.Mobile contact 40 is configured to be positioned at the first fixed contact 22 and the second fixed contact 24 the same side of contact bridge 20, and wherein, the Compress Spring 50 that brace table 52 supports is towards the mobile contact 40 of contact bridge 20 extruding.Mobile contact 40 is connected to contact bridge 20 with the first link 2 in trouble-free situation, and therefore produces closed second switch 14.What be arranged on the 3rd fixed contact 26 opposites is the stopper 54 that is fixed on the shell, and when contact bridge 20 moved towards the clockwise direction relative with the power of Compress Spring 34, stopper 54 was run into the first end 30 of contact bridge 20, with the deflection of Restricted Contact bridge 20.
To be described in more detail main trigger equipment 12 hereinafter.Main trigger equipment has the coil 56 between the second link 4 and auxiliary trigger equipment, and it is connected with second switch 14 and the 3rd switch 16.The main trigger equipment 12 that is set to electromagnetic actuator spare or electromagnetic system has coil core 58, pin 60 and the first armature 62 that is positioned at coil 56 inside.In addition, the second armature 64 is arranged in the coil 56 and can moves along triggering direction B, and to pin 60 generation effects.When inactive state, the power of the compressed spring 66 of the second armature is bearing on the stopper 68 that is fixed in shell.Be provided with short-circuited conducting sleeve 70 at core 58 towards a side of the first armature 62, form eddy current in the short-circuited conducting sleeve 70 that the material by good conductive consists of, the vibration that eddy current suppresses in the main trigger equipment 12 produces, thereby avoids sending bad noise.This is for being particularly advantageous with the alternating current operation, because the armature on the core 58 keeps friction when automatic switch triggers.
Pin 60 can be arranged in the core 58 and along triggering direction A and move axially, and passes through Compress Spring 66 towards triggering direction B biasing.The front end of pin 60 axially stretches out from core 58 towards contact bridge 20 and mobile contact 40, consists of the striker that excites mobile contact 40, and wherein the application point of pin 60 is between the oscillation bearing 44 and Compress Spring 50 of mobile contact 40.Therefore, the through hole 72 that pin 60 passes contact bridge 20 extends, pin 60 front ends on the excitation direction B of the first armature 62 and before being positioned at contact bridge are provided with to have and increase large diameter extension (Aufweitung) or part 74, and extension or part 74 are greater than the through hole 72 of contact bridge 20.When pin 60 moves along the excitation direction B of armature 62, extension 74 bump contact bridges 20, move towards the counter clockwise direction relative with the power of Compress Spring 34 so that contact bridge 20 winds the rotating shaft X that is made of the first fixed contact 22 and the second fixed contact 24, and contact bridge 20 and the 3rd fixed contact 26 are disconnected.Extension 74 is arranged on the pin 60, before pin 60 makes contact bridge 20 and 26 disconnections of the 3rd fixed contact mobile contact 40 and contact bridge 20 is disconnected.
The rear end of pin 60 is bearing in the blind hole of the second armature 64 relative with the first armature 62.Pin 60 penetrates the axial hole that is arranged in the first armature 62.The first armature 62 can be directed with axially mobile in the blind hole of the second armature 64, and is supported on the flange (Bund) 75 relative with the part of the diameter with increase of pin 60 in its side away from the second armature.
Auxiliary trigger equipment 6 will be described hereinafter.Auxiliary trigger equipment 6 comprises the bimetallic performer with first bimetallic 76, and described bimetallic is connected between the first fixed contact 22 of the first link 2 and the first switch 8.Because by the electric current that auxiliary circuit flows, the first bimetallic 76 is heated and is therefore crooked, then, circuit breaker 36 is activated after the time of delay relevant with current strength traditionally.Under the state of activation of circuit breaker 36, circuit breaker 36 moves along the direction of the arrow C indication shown in Fig. 4 A, the second end 32 of contact bridge 20 rotates in a clockwise direction around axle X, until first end 30 stops at the 3rd fixed contact 26 relative positionings and is fixed on the stopper 54 on the shell.Because this movement of circuit breaker 36, so that brace table 38 also moves along the direction of arrow C indication, thereby the rotary moving of contact bridge 20 can Compress Spring 34, and the power of spring 34 can not increase yet.
The contiguous stopper 54 of the first end of contact bridge 20 so the direction that guiding circuit breaker 36 points to along arrow C continues to move, disconnects contact bridge 20 and the first fixed contact 22 and the second fixed contact 24, so that the first switch 8 is opened.The location on triggering direction C by the first fixed contact 22 and the second fixed contact 24 at first makes the second fixed contact 24 and contact bridge 20 disconnect, and the first fixed contact 22 and contact bridge 20 are disconnected, and finally makes the circuit disconnection.
To describe in detail according to electric selective automatic switch of the present invention now.
In failure condition, overload current appears between the first link 2 and the second link 4 by the low current shunt circuit, so that coil 56 produces magnetic force by induction at the first armature 62, magnetic force makes the second armature move towards the flange 75 of pin 60 along the power that triggering direction B overcomes spring 66, then pin 60 overcomes the power of spring 66 in its mobile contact 40 of bump, application point place along triggering direction B, so that be connected disconnection between mobile contact 40 and the contact bridge 20, shown in Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B.Extension 74 is installed on the pin 60, and contact bridge 20 still contacts with the 3rd fixed contact 26 and do not disconnect.Shown in the equivalent circuit diagram shown in Fig. 2 B, second switch 14 is opened, and the first switch 8 and the 3rd switch 16 remain closed.Therefore, the bimetallic 76 of the bimetallic performer of the auxiliary trigger equipment 6 in the overload current situation is connected with the coil 56 of main trigger equipment 12 and by resistance 10 and the parallel circuits that the shunt circuit with the 3rd switch 16 consists of, and wherein resistance 10 is by the shunt circuit short circuit.Cause the first bimetallic 76 to be heated by the electric current that flows through the first bimetallic 76, therefore be opened through above-mentioned circuit breaker 36 after the very first time interval.In this case, overload current is corresponding to the first threshold electric current, and threshold current can be by electric selective automatic switch with instrument regulation (for example, between the power of the spring force by spring 66 and coil 56 corresponding scale).
Because instantaneous cross of first threshold electric current under very first time interval, be connected again closure between mobile contact 40 and the contact bridge 20, thereby bimetallic 76 had the shunt circuit short circuit of the first switch 14.Therefore, only there is the instantaneous increase of operating current and do not trigger circuit breaker 36.The purpose of this function is to be set to main switch by electric selective automatic switch, the overload current that wherein occurs is at first eliminated by the terminal use by the safeties that are positioned at behind the main switch, and does not disconnect total power supply of great amount of terminals user as the electric selective automatic switch of main switch work.
In the short circuit current situation, electric selective automatic switch is set to namely substantially in the second short time interval, activate circuit breaker 36 than very first time interval in the very short time.Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B illustrate this situation.Because short circuit current is the Second Threshold electric current, near mobile contact 40, by extension 74 contact bridge 20 is moved along triggering direction B, so that the disconnection that is connected of contact bridge 20 and the 3rd fixed contact 26, second switch 14 and the 3rd switch 16 are opened, shown in equivalent circuit diagram 3B.Therefore, the short circuit current resistance 10 that flows through the first bimetallic 76, the first switch 8, Limited Current flows to the second link 4 through coils 56.Short circuit current causes the unexpected heating of the first bimetallic 76, and therefore, circuit breaker 36 is activated immediately.In the situation of short interruption, the second armature 64 make the 3rd fixed contact 26 immediately with the contact path
Figure GSB00001064894000091
Disconnect, so that insert even without any moving component, the also arc current of restriction on the 3rd fixed contact 26 completely effectively, thus guarantee to eliminate electric arc.In the situation that high short circuit current occurs, the second armature 64 along triggering that direction B moves and the layout of rear end by pin 60 acts directly on the pin 60, moves it immediately immediately towards contact bridge 20 along triggering direction.
Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B illustrate another execution mode according to electric selective automatic switch of the present invention.Auxiliary trigger equipment 6 has the bimetallic performer, has the second bimetallic 78 that is positioned at the first bimetallic 76 sides, the triggering that bimetallic 78 is set to be independent of the first bimetallic 76 and causes circuit breaker 36 by the bimetallic performer.The second bimetallic 78 is connected between the second fixed contact 24 and the coil 56.The second bimetallic 78 only is activated under short-circuit conditions or when surpassing the Second Threshold electric current because under the Second Threshold electric current time the second bimetallic 78 and resistance 10 by shunt circuit by 16 short circuits of the 3rd switch.Therefore, the second bimetallic 78 has and utilizes the function of opening circuit breaker 36 time of delay, and this time of delay is substantially less than time of delay of the first bimetallic 76.
The invention provides a kind of electric selective automatic switch, optionally disconnect through this electric selective automatic switch after a while when overload current occurring, wherein, time can be measured like this, the terminal use can close electronic automatic switch subsequently before closing as the main switch of electric selective automatic switch operation, when short circuit occurring, main switch disconnects being connected between the first link 2 and the second link 4 immediately.Electronic automatic switch according to the present invention has beneficial effect, normally in service, electric current between the first link 2 and the second link 4 substantially only flows through the coil 56 of main trigger equipment 12, because the first bimetallic 76 or the second bimetallic 78 shunt circuit by having second switch 14 and the 3rd switch 16 is by short circuit.Therefore, can make according to the power consumption of electric selective automatic switch of the present invention minimum.In addition, electric selective automatic switch according to the present invention has beneficial effect, and before disconnecting by circuit breaker 36, the continuous current that is used for the auxiliary circuit of control circuit breaker 36 is guaranteed, and avoids thus the operating mistake of auxiliary trigger equipment.
The favourable setting of resistance 10 and coil 56 will be described hereinafter, in conjunction with explaining better its principle of work and power by the automatic fuse of master of simplifying among Fig. 6 and Fig. 7.The setting of selectivity resistance 101 and kicker coil 102 and layout are applicable to be configured to resistance 10 and the coil 56 of coil.
For the current limit of short-circuit conditions, main automatic fuse uses the resistance in 0.5 ohm of scope.
Within about 10 milliseconds opening time, the selectivity resistor power is basic fault-free when 100 kilowatts of orders of magnitude.This needs quite large-sized selectivity resistance, for example describes in detail among the European application WO03/065398A1.The recommendation pottery is as the selectivity resistive element.Except the coil that resistance wire twines, the resistance of the Limited Current that is wound or twines is as the flat rubber belting that is made of resistance material
Figure GSB00001064894000111
Also be known.
Except the measure of avoiding bad magnetic field that is realized by this set, the space in " minimum circuit breaker " is usually also unavailable.
Shortcoming in essence is, short circuit for example during 5 times of rated current the magnetic field of kicker coil enough disconnect main contacts, during time-delay is opened circuit, also keep the disconnection of main contacts.By the current limit of selectivity resistance, the electric current in the kicker coil will be reduced to 3 times of rated current, and magnetic pumping no longer enough keeps armature to overcome the power of the switching-in spring of main contacts.Consequently, in short-term closed and immediately again disconnection of main contacts.The alternation procedure that this professional domain is called " woodpecker " is worthless.
The selectivity resistance that obtains according to the present invention can be the resistance 10 shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5, is set up the kicker coil (can be coil 56) that is used as the coil that is twined by resistance material and passes main circuit.
Therefore, make the free space placement selectivity resistance between the shell wall that utilizes kicker coil and main automatic fuse become possibility.
By this simple measure, can be by the additional number of turns of the selectivity resistance of connecting with kicker coil itself, make that available flux produces greater than the operating current by electromagnet in the magnetic circuit that is produced by limited residual current.Armature makes main contacts guarantee to disconnect within time of delay, until the selectivity bimetallic will be led the circuit breaker release (entklinken) of automatic fuse, this is with interrupt circuit.
Selectivity triggers and kicker coil consists of construction unit jointly, its by common magnet yoke ring around, construction unit has magnetic core, armature and selectivity bimetallic in addition.
Preferably, yoke is formed so that it not only as the wire of magnetic flux, is gone back as magnetic screen and heat shielding for contiguous instrument.Yoke is not only carried the selectivity bimetallic, and also box ground is around kicker coil four sides as coil shape selectivity resistance, and being arranged between selectivity resistance and the shell wall of leading automatic fuse of two-sided (beidseitig) spatially.
If it is favourable that the complete selectivity trigger that is co-located at the same side with kicker coil is interrupted by the switching technique (schaltungstechnisch) along the energy flow direction of main contacts and break contact.
In addition, the coiling direction of selectivity resistance and kicker coil can be selected the magnetic action effect that produces with offset current.
In Fig. 6, can find out that by the schematic diagram of main automatic fuse selectivity resistance 101 passes the setting of kicker coil 102.Similarly, the location of the switching technique of selectivity trigger is counted as parallel circuits.The on off state of describing meets " short circuit " fault in time of delay.
When being in opening, main contacts 103 and break contact 104 closures.Operating current flows through main contacts 103 and kicker coil 102 until the power supply user.
Armature 105 disconnects in the short trouble situation shown in Fig. 7, triggers main contacts 103 by the magnetic field of kicker coil 102.
Break contact 104 remains closed, so that main contacts 103 is bridged by the parallel circuits that selectivity triggers.
Therefore, short circuit current is limited by selectivity resistance 101.
Residual current not only flows through selectivity bimetallic 106 and also flows through selectivity resistance 101 and kicker coil 102.Residual current produces the additional magnetic induction in the selectivity resistance, and magnetic induction strengthens the gravitation of armature 105 in the magnetic circuit of kicker coil by disconnecting main contacts 103, also guarantees the enough braking force of the armature 105 on magnetic core 108 within time of delay.
In the meantime, selectivity bimetallic 106 crooked and release circuit breakers, circuit breaker makes break contact 104 disconnect subsequently, keeps main contacts 103 to disconnect and interrupt protected circuit.If for example interrupt by the line protection switch in downstream another position at circuit within time of delay, the main automatic fuse of maintenance closes a floodgate and guarantees to remain device and can use.
The horizontal cross-section of the top view of the automatic fuse of master shown in Figure 7.The spatial placement of selectivity resistance 101 on kicker coil 102 is apparent, is visible in shell 110 and as the structure for the yoke 107 of the heat shielding of contiguous instrument and magnetic screen.
When having fault, flux in the magnetic circuit not only also produces by the spiral of kicker coil 102 by the number of turns of selectivity resistance 10, so that guaranteed enough by the residual current of selectivity resistance limits, so that armature 105 is remained on the magnetic core 108, so that main contacts 103 overcomes on the position that the power of switching-in spring 109 is fixed on disconnection.
Therefore, be that main automatic fuse arranges the selectivity trigger, in selectivity bimetallic and selectivity resistance that series connection arranges, trigger is set to the parallel circuits with respect to main contacts, and main contacts is bridged in " short circuit " failure condition.Selectivity resistance 101 is set as coil and is arranged in the magnetic circuit of kicker coil 102, is used for magnetic and supports the disconnection of main contacts 103 and the power effect that remains open.
Selectivity resistance 101 is the short circuit current in the associating of limitation function both, again along with residual current and the kicker coil 102 common flux that strengthen in the magnetic circuits.
Selectivity resistance 101 is arranged between yoke 107 and the kicker coil 102 spatially, at least in part around and cover kicker coil 102.
The selectivity trigger is co-located on the same side of the energy flow direction of main contacts 103 and break contact 104 by switching technique and kicker coil 102.
Selectivity trigger and kicker coil 102, magnetic core 108, armature 105, selectivity resistance 101, selectivity bimetallic 106 and yoke 107 be common to consist of construction units, wherein provides fixing near the yoke of shell wall 110 for the basic point of selectivity bimetallic 106 in large area.
Setting and kicker coil 102 as the selectivity resistance 101 of coil setting are applicable to according to the resistance 10 shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 of the present invention and coil 56.
