Definitions
- the invention relates to a multi-pole low-voltage circuit breaker with contact arms and a switching shaft supporting this with a polygonal profile, which is mounted in recesses in the partitions of an insulating material housing and in these recesses closing inserts, on the switching shaft bearing body with an opening adapted to the polygonal profile and an outer Bearing surface and a collar projecting above the bearing surface are arranged, which are assigned a recess of the associated partition and the insert.
- Circuit breakers of this type have been manufactured and marketed under the name "Limitor L 25-100" by SACE, Bergamo, Italy. With these switches, the bearing bodies are fixed on the control shaft. Therefore, in order to bridge the inevitable dimensional tolerances of the insulating material housing, the switches require a certain amount of play between the bearing bodies and the surfaces of the insulating material housing interacting therewith. A meandering crawl path is created in that each bearing body has two external collars, which are assigned recesses of the partitions and the inserts.
- the invention has for its object to reduce the mentioned bearing tolerance in the area of the bearing body to such an extent that the resistance to the passage of conductive switching gases increases during operation of the switch and thus the risk of internal flashovers is significantly reduced.
- this object is achieved in that the bearing bodies are axially displaceable on the selector shaft and in that the recesses are designed as a groove spanning the only existing collar.
- the bearing bodies are axially displaceable on the selector shaft and in that the recesses are designed as a groove spanning the only existing collar.
- the collar attached to the bearing bodies provided according to the invention forms a step in connection with the corresponding grooves of the partition of the insulating material housing and the insert, which extends the creepage distance and prevents the passage of switching gases.
- An essential property of the arrangement according to the invention is also that the axial length of the gap between the control shaft and the opening of the bearing body can be selected regardless of the thickness of the partition walls.
- the axial length of the gap between the selector shaft and the bearing body can be dimensioned as a safety distance with regard to the formation of electrical creepage distances and the passage of switching gases.
- the axial gap is selected for a given width so that the commonly occurring harmful influences, in particular soot-containing switching gases, cannot lead to the formation of a continuous conductive layer on the surface of the switching shaft.
- control shaft be mounted precisely and with a low tolerance. This can be achieved in itself by bearing points acting as close as possible to the ends of the selector shaft. But even when the control shaft is mounted in the area of the partition walls of the insulating housing, low-backlash storage can be achieved within the scope of the invention in that the bearing surfaces of the bearing bodies are arranged on the outer side of the collar, as seen in the axial direction of the control shaft.
- the bearing body with a further bearing surface which is located axially on the inside with respect to the federal government and which, when the switch is in an operational state, are at a short distance from a stationary stop surface.
- This stop surface ensures that the switch is mechanically fully functional even when the inserts are removed.
- An edge of a bearing plate of the key switch attached to the lower part of the housing can serve as a stop surface.
- polygonal profile is to be understood to mean all cross-sectional shapes of the selector shaft that enable a rotationally locking connection of the selector shaft to the bearing bodies.
- triangular profiles or round profiles which are provided with one or more projections or have changing radii of curvature.
- Fig. 1 shows a low-voltage circuit breaker in a side view with a schematically illustrated current path.
- FIG. 2a is a simplified cross section through the switch according to FIG. 1 in the area of
- FIG. 2b is the section designated 11-11 in FIG. 2a.
- FIG 3 shows a bearing body for the selector shaft in a perspective view.
- FIG. 4a illustrates the interaction between a partition, a control shaft and an insert.
- the section designated IV-IV in FIG. 4a is shown in FIG. 4b.
- the switch 1 shown schematically in Fig. 1 has a housing 2 made of insulating material, for. B. a molding material based on polyester resin.
- the housing 2 is divided into an upper part 3 and a lower part 4 along a parting line.
- the current path of the switch 1 extends from a connection terminal 5 via a fixed contact 6 and a movable contact 7 as well as a flexible conductor strip 10 and a heating conductor 11 to a further connection 12.
- the movable contact piece 7 is attached in an articulated manner to a carrier 13 which is fastened on a control shaft 14.
- a drive lever 16 engages, which can be moved in a known manner by a mechanism, not shown.
- a manual operating handle 17, which protrudes from the upper part 3 of the housing 2, is used to switch the circuit breaker 1 on and off by hand. From the switch-on position shown, the movable contact piece 7 can be moved into the switch-off position not only by the operating handle 17, but also in a known manner by thermal and / or magnetic triggers. If the circuit breaker 1 is of multi-pole design, each pole has the structure shown in FIG. 1, but the drive lever 16 only engages one of the hinge pins 15, in the case of three-pole switches preferably on the movable contact piece 7 of the middle pole.
- the control shaft 14 has a core made of metal in the form of a round rod 20 with a circular cross section. This round rod is provided with a covering 21 made of insulating material.
- the contact carriers 13, which are designed as stamped and bent parts, are fastened next to one another on this envelope.
- the control shaft 14 is mounted in the partition walls 22 of the lower part 4 of the housing 2 by means of two bearing bodies 23, which are shown separately in perspective in FIG. 3. Insulating plastics of sufficient strength, in particular thermosetting molded materials, are suitable for producing the bearing body 23.
- the bearing bodies 23 have an opening 24 which is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the selector shaft 14 and is dimensioned such that the bearing bodies 23 can be displaced on the selector shaft 14 with little play.
- the axial length of the bearing body 23 and thus the opening 24 is chosen so that there is sufficient security against the passage of switching gases along the surface of the switching shaft 14 and against the formation of conductive layers with a given play between the bearing bodies 23 and the switching shaft on the selector shaft.
- the axial length of the bearing body 23 thus corresponds to a safety distance between the adjacent pole tracks, which are located on either side of the partition walls 22.
- the bearing bodies 23 each have a bearing surface 25 and a further bearing surface 26 with a smaller diameter than the bearing surface 25. Between the two bearing surfaces there is a disk-like collar 27 projecting above the bearing surfaces. Between the collar 27 and the bearing surface 26, the bearing bodies 23 have a further cylindrical shoulder 28, the diameter of which lies between the diameter of the bearing surface 25 and the diameter of the bearing surface 26.
- the partitions 22 of the lower part 4 of the housing 2 are provided with recesses 30, the lower region of which is designed as a bearing shell 31 with a radius adapted to the bearing surfaces 25.
- a groove 32 is also provided for the collar 27 of the bearing body 23.
- the grooves 32 are extended beyond the area of the bearing shell 31 to the upper edge of the partition walls 22 (FIG. 4b).
- the grooves 33 and 34 are offset from the groove 32. The grooves 33 and 34 are used to insert inserts 35, which are explained below.
- the insert pieces 35 likewise consist of an insulating plastic and are designed as bearing shells 36 at their lower ends. As a result, together with the bearing shells 31 of the recesses 30, the bearing surfaces 25 of the bearing bodies 23 completely enclose bearings. To receive the collar 27 of the bearing body 23, the insert pieces 35 are also each provided with a groove 37. Furthermore, the inserts have ribs 40 and 41 for guidance in the grooves 33 and 34 of the partition walls 22.
- the thickness of the insert pieces 35 corresponds in the lower region, which interacts with the bearing bodies 23, to the axial length of the bearing bodies minus the bearing surface 26 (dimension a in FIG. 2a).
- the insert pieces 35 are made thinner, in accordance with the thickness of the partition walls 22, which only have the thickness a shown in FIG 2a).
- the bearing bodies 23 have a cylindrical extension 28 on the side axially inward with respect to the collar 27, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the bearing surface 25. This creates a small gap between the cylindrical extension 28 and the bearing shells 31 and 36 of the partition walls 22 and of the insert pieces 35. Only the axially outer bearing surfaces 25 are effective as bearing surfaces during operation of the switch. This results in a relatively low-play mounting of the control shaft 14.
- the further bearing surfaces 26 of the bearing bodies 23 only become effective when the upper part 3 of the insulating housing 2 with its partitions 42 shown broken off in FIG. 2b is removed from the lower part 4.
- the selector shaft 14 is then pressed under the influence of restoring forces exerted by the switching mechanism, not shown, with the inserts 35 with their ribs 40 and 41 in the grooves 33 and 34 being displaced upward.
- the further bearing surfaces 26 of the bearing bodies 23 bear against stop surfaces 44 of bearing plates 43, which are held on the bottom of the lower part 4 by means of schematically indicated fastening means 45.
- the bearing plates 43 are arranged between the partitions 22 and serve to accommodate the drive mechanism mentioned and the key switch.
- the parts are dimensioned so that in the operating state of the switch between the bearing plates 43 and the bearing surfaces 26 there is an intermediate space c which can be of the order of a tenth of a millimeter. It should be pointed out that the differences in the diameters of the bearing surfaces 25 and 26 and of the cylindrical extension 28 are more clearly emphasized in illustration than in reality in FIGS. 2a and 2b.
- the control shaft 14 is inserted with the bearing bodies 23 displaceable on it in the axial direction into the lower part 4 of the housing 2 in such a way that the bearing bodies engage with their collars 27 in the grooves 32. Then the bearing plates 43 are inserted between the partitions 22 and fastened to the bottom of the lower part 4 in a suitable manner.
- the control shaft 14 is thereby fixed in its operating position except for the small dimensional deviation c mentioned and can be operated on a trial basis.
- the final storage of the control shaft 14 results after the insertion of the inserts 35 with their ribs 40 and 41 in the grooves 33 and 34 and the subsequent placement of the upper part 3 on the lower part 4, which is then connected to the upper part 3 by suitable connecting means, for. B. screws, is connected.
- suitable connecting means for. B. screws
- the bearing bodies 23 can automatically adapt to the spacing of the partition walls 22 or the grooves 32 due to their displaceability on the selector shaft 14.
- the insert pieces 35 can be assembled in a simple manner because they are independent of one another and thus jamming or jamming is avoided.
