Abstract

A movable contact element is coupled by a step-up lever drive with a drive rod. The movable contact element is surrounded by a blast nozzle which moves along with the movable contact element. The blast nozzle is connected to a pump cylinder containing an extinguishing gas. The pump cylinder is guided to be vertically displaceable upon a pump piston and this pump piston is hingedly connected with one end of a first element of a toggle lever which in the cut-on position is in its bent position or mode, the second element of the toggle lever being hingedly connected at a stationary location. The toggle joint of the toggle lever is likewise coupled with the drive rod, so that during a cut-off stroke the toggle lever is extended and then again bent. So that at the start of a cut-off stroke there is initially accelerated the movable contact element and along therewith the blast nozzle as well as the pump cylinder and only thereafter is there compressed the extinguishing gas within the pump cylinder, the lever drive possesses a first coupling element or link which is hingedly connected at one end at the toggle joint and at its other end at the movable contact element as well as a second coupling element or link which is hingedly connected at one end between the ends of the first coupling element at such first coupling element and at its other end at the drive rod, so that at the start of the cut-off stroke the bent position of the toggle lever initially is intensified.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Druckgasschalter mit einem beweglichen Kontaktstück, das über ein übersetzendes Hebelgetriebe an eine Antriebsstange gekuppelt ist, sowie mit einer mit dem beweglichen Kontaktstück mitbeweglichen und dieses umgebenden Blasdüse, die an einen ein Löschgas enthaltenden Pumpzylinder angeschlossen ist, der auf einem Pumpkolben verschiebbar geführt ist, wobei der Pumpkolben gelenkig mit dem einen Ende eines ersten Gliedes eines in Einschaltstellung in Knicklage befindlichen Kniehebels verbunden ist, dessen zweites Glied an einer ortsfesten Stelle angelenkt ist und dessen Kniegelenk ebenfalls an die Antriebsstange gekoppelt ist, so daß während eines Ausschalthubes der Kniehebel gestreckt und dann wieder geknickt wird.The invention relates to a gas pressure switch with a movable contact piece, which is coupled to a drive rod via a translating lever mechanism, and with a blowing nozzle which is movable with and surrounds the movable contact piece and which is connected to a pump cylinder containing an extinguishing gas, which is displaceably guided on a pump piston is, wherein the pump piston is articulated to one end of a first link of a toggle lever in the switched-on position, the second link of which is articulated at a fixed location and whose knee joint is also coupled to the drive rod, so that the toggle lever extends during a switch-off stroke and then kinked again.

Ein solcher Schalter ist beispielsweise aus der DE-B2-1 966 973 bekannt. Bei diesem Schalter verläuft die Antriebsstange quer zu der Verschieberichtung der Einheit bewegliches Kontaktstück-Blasdüse-Pumpzylinder. Diese Einheit ist über eine Schwinge an den längeren Arm eines auf einem ortsfesten Zapfen schwenkbaren Winkelhebels gekoppelt, dessen kürzerer Arm über eine Koppel an die Antriebsstange gekoppelt ist. Der Kniehebel, an den der Pumpkolben gekuppelt ist, ist in Einschaltstellung in einer von der Antriebsstange weg weisenden Knickstellung, und sein Kniegelenk ist über eine weitere Koppel mit dieser Antriebsstange verbunden.Such a switch is known for example from DE-B2-1 966 973. In this switch, the drive rod runs transversely to the direction of displacement of the movable contact piece-blowing nozzle-pump cylinder. This unit is coupled via a rocker arm to the longer arm of an angle lever which can be pivoted on a fixed pin, the shorter arm of which is coupled to the drive rod via a coupling. The toggle lever, to which the pump piston is coupled, is in the switched-on position in a kink position pointing away from the drive rod, and its knee joint is connected to this drive rod via a further coupling.

Die Konstruktion des bekannten Schalters bringt es mit sich, daß einerseits zwischen der Bewegung der Antriebsstange und jener des beweglichen Kontaktstücks (mit Blasdüse und Pumpzylinder) eine praktisch konstante, durch die Längendifferenz der Arme des Winkelhebels gegebene Übersetzung vorhanden ist. Andererseits zieht die Antriebsstange gleich zu Beginn des Ausschalthubes den Kniehebel in seine Strecklage, d. h. der Pumpkolben bewegt sich gleich zu Beginn des Ausschalthubes gegenläufig zum Zylinder, und erst nachdem seine Strecklage überschritten ist, beginnt er, sich gleichsinnig mit dem Pumpzylinder zu bewegen.The construction of the known switch entails that on the one hand between the movement of the drive rod and that of the movable contact piece (with blowing nozzle and pump cylinder) there is a practically constant translation given by the length difference of the arms of the angle lever. On the other hand, the drive rod pulls the toggle lever into its extended position right at the beginning of the switch-off stroke, i.e. H. the pump piston moves in the opposite direction to the cylinder right at the beginning of the switch-off stroke, and only after its extended position has been exceeded does it begin to move in the same direction as the pump cylinder.

Gleich zu Beginn eines Ausschalthubes hat also der die Antriebsstange antreibende Antrieb gleichzeitig folgende Arbeit zu leisten. Erstens sind das bewegliche Kontaktstück und die mit diesem mitbeweglichen Bestandteile (Blasdüse und Zylinder) aus dem Stillstand heraus zu beschleunigen. Zweitens ist mit der gegenläufigen Bewegung des Pumpkolbens in bezug auf den Zylinder gleich zu Beginn das im Zylinder vorhandene Gas zu komprimieren, damit etwas später komprimiertes Löschgas zum Beblasen des Schaftlichtbogens zur Verfügung steht.Right at the beginning of a switch-off stroke, the drive that drives the drive rod must also perform the following work. First, the movable contact piece and the components that move with it (blow nozzle and cylinder) must be accelerated from a standstill. Secondly, with the opposite movement of the pump piston with respect to the cylinder, the gas present in the cylinder has to be compressed right at the beginning, so that somewhat later compressed quenching gas is available for blowing the shaft arc.

Nun wird aber angestrebt, daß gerade zu Beginn des Ausschalthubes die Beschleunigung der beweglichen Bestandteile einen möglichst hohen Wert aufweisen, während die Kompression des Löschgases nicht gleich zu Beginn des Ausschalthubes einsetzen soll, da das komprimierte Löschgas ja erst zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt des Ausschalthubes zur Verfügung zu stehen hat, nämlich dann, wenn der wachsende Abstand des beweglichen Kontaktstückes zum ortsfesten Kontaktstück mit dem es sich in Eingriff befunden hat, sich der minimalen Löschdistanz nähert.Now, however, the aim is that the acceleration of the moving parts should be as high as possible at the beginning of the switch-off stroke, while the compression of the extinguishing gas should not start at the start of the switch-off stroke, since the compressed extinguishing gas is only available at a later point in time of the switch-off stroke has to stand, namely when the increasing distance of the movable contact piece to the fixed contact piece with which it has been engaged approaches the minimum extinguishing distance.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schalter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem auf möglichst einfache Weise die vom Antrieb bei einem Ausschalthub aufzubringende Energie vorerst für die Beschleunigung der beweglichen Bestandteile und erst danach zum Komprimieren des Löschgases, also zeitlich gestaffelt aufzubringen ist, was gestattet, den gesamten Antrieb kleiner zu bemessen.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a switch of the type mentioned, in which the energy to be applied by the drive during a switch-off stroke is as simple as possible, initially for the acceleration of the moving components and only afterwards for compressing the extinguishing gas, that is to say staggered in time is what allows the entire drive to be made smaller.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist der vorgeschlagene Druckgasschalter gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das Hebelgetriebe eine erste, einerends am Kniegelenk, andernends am beweglichen Kontaktstück angelenkte Koppel sowie eine zweite Koppel aufweist, die einerends zwischen den Enden der ersten Koppel an dieser und andernends an der Antriebsstange angelenkt ist, so daß zu Beginn des Ausschalthubes die Knicklage des Kniehebels zunächst noch verstärkt wird.To achieve this object, the proposed gas pressure switch according to the invention is characterized in that the lever mechanism has a first coupling, articulated on one end on the knee joint, on the other on the movable contact piece, and a second coupling, which on one end between the ends of the first coupling on this and the other on the Drive rod is articulated, so that at the beginning of the switch-off stroke, the knee position of the knee lever is initially reinforced.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Druckgasschalter 10 besitzt eine bewegliche Kontaktstelle 11, die am oberen Ende einen Kontaktstift 12 trägt, der in und außer Eingriff mit einem ortsfesten Kontaktstück 13 bringbar ist. An der Kontaktstange 11 ist auch durch nicht dargestellte Mittel eine den Kontaktstift 12 umgebende Blasdüse 14 befestigt, die zugleich den »Boden« eines Pumpzylinders 15 bildet. Der Pumpzylinder 15 umschließt einen Pumpraum 17, der ein Löschgas, z. B. SF6 enthält. Längs der Kontaktstange 11 verschiebbar geführt ist im Pumpzylinder 15 ein Pumpkolben 18 angeordnet, der - wie sich noch zeigen wird - im Zuge des Ausschalthubes das Löschgas aus dem Pumpraum 17 heraus durch die Blasdüse 14 hindurch verdrängt. Der Einlaß 19 der Blasdüse 14 kommuniziert daher unmittelbar mit dem Pumpraum 17.The compressed gas switch 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a movable contact point 11 which carries a contact pin 12 at the upper end which can be brought into and out of engagement with a stationary contact piece 13. A blowing nozzle 14 surrounding the contact pin 12 is also fastened to the contact rod 11 by means not shown, which at the same time forms the “bottom” of a pump cylinder 15. The pump cylinder 15 encloses a pump chamber 17 which contains an extinguishing gas, e.g. B. SF 6 contains. A pumping piston 18 is arranged displaceably along the contact rod 11 in the pump cylinder 15 and, as will be shown later, displaces the extinguishing gas from the pump chamber 17 through the blowing nozzle 14 in the course of the switch-off stroke. The inlet 19 of the blowing nozzle 14 therefore communicates directly with the pump chamber 17.

An der dem Pumpraum abgekehrten Seite des Pumpkolbens 18 ist ein Lagerauge 20 ausgebildet, an dem mittels eines Gelenkzapfens 21 das freie Ende eines ersten Gliedes 22 eines mit 23 bezeichneten Kniehebels angelenkt ist. Das Kniegelenk dieses Kniehebels 23 ist durch einen Gelenkzapfen 24 gegeben, an dem das zweite Glied 25 des Kniehebels 23 angelenkt ist. Das freie Ende des zweiten Gliedes 25 ist mittels eines Gelenkzapfens 26 an einem Lagerauge 27 angelenkt, das an einem Flanschteil 28 des Schalters befestigt oder angeformt und somit unbeweglich ist. Das Flanschteil 28 trägt im übrigen einen rohrförmigen Isolator 29 (nur teilweise dargestellt), der eine Schaltkammer umschließt, in der alle bisher beschriebenen Schalterbestandteile nach außen abgekapselt angeordnet sind. Durch das Flanschteil 28 hindurch reicht eine Antriebsstange 16, welche durch einen nicht dargestellten Antrieb achsial verschiebbar ist.On the side of the pump piston 18 facing away from the pump chamber, a bearing eye 20 is formed, on which the free end of a first link 22 of a toggle lever designated 23 is articulated by means of a pivot pin 21. The knee joint of this toggle lever 23 is provided by a pivot pin 24 to which the second link 25 of the toggle lever 23 is articulated. The free end of the second link 25 is articulated by means of a pivot pin 26 on a bearing eye 27 which is fastened or molded onto a flange part 28 of the switch and is therefore immovable. The flange part 28 also carries a tubular insulator 29 (only partially shown) which encloses a switching chamber in which all of the switch components described so far are encapsulated to the outside. A drive rod 16 extends through the flange part 28 and is axially displaceable by a drive (not shown).

Am unteren Ende der Kontaktstange 11 ist ein Lagerauge 31 befestigt oder angeformt, an dem mittels eines Gelenkzapfens 33 das eine Ende einer Koppel 34 angelenkt ist, deren anderes Ende am Gelenkzapfen 24 des Kniehebels 23 angelenkt ist. Am oberen Ende der Antriebsstange 16 ist über einen weiteren Gelenkzapfen 35 das eine Ende einer weiteren Koppel 36 angelenkt, deren anderes Ende über einen Gelenkzapfen 37 etwa mittig an der Koppel 34 angelenkt ist.At the lower end of the contact rod 11, a bearing eye 31 is attached or formed, to which one end of a coupling 34 is articulated by means of a pivot pin 33, the other end of which is articulated on the pivot pin 24 of the toggle lever 23. At the upper end of the drive rod 16, the one end of a further coupling 36 is articulated via a further pivot pin 35, the other end of which is articulated approximately centrally in the coupling 34 via a pivot pin 37.

In der in Fig. 1 links dargestellten Einschaltstellung steht der Kontaktstift 12 im Eingriff mit dem rohrförmigen, festen Kontaktstück 13, das den Kontaktstift 12 umschließt und außerdem die Blasdüse 14 an ihrer engsten Stelle 38 verschlossen hält.In the switch-on position shown on the left in FIG. 1, the contact pin 12 is in engagement with the tubular, fixed contact piece 13, which surrounds the contact pin 12 and also keeps the blow nozzle 14 closed at its narrowest point 38.

Zur Arbeitsweise des beschriebenen Schalters sei zusätzlich auf die Fig. 2 hingewiesen, in der in der Phase a die in Fig. 1 links dargestellte Einschaltstellung schematisch und unter Verwendung derselben Bezugszeichen wiederholt ist. Beim Ausschalthub wird die Antriebsstange 16 im Sinne des Pfeils 39 bewegt. Zu Beginn des Ausschalthubes zieht die Koppel 36 die Koppel 34 nach unten. Da dabei der Gelenkzapfen 24 etwa auf derselben Höhe bleibt, bewegt sich zunächst die Kontaktstange 11 etwa doppelt so schnell wie die Antriebsstange 16. Dabei geht aber die Koppel 34 zugleich in die waagerechte Stellung über, d. h. drückt den Kniehebel 23 in eine noch ausgeprägtere Knicklage, so daß zunächst der Kolben 18 sich gleichsinnig, wenngleich nicht um denselben Weg wie die Kontaktstange 11 und damit wie der Pumpzylinder 15 bewegt. Es findet also in dieser Anfangsphase des Ausschalthubes hauptsächlich eine Beschleunigung der Kontaktstange 11 und der mit dieser mitbeweglichen Bestandteile statt. Das Ende dieser ersten Phase ist dann erreicht, wenn die Koppel 34 rechtwinklig von der Kontaktstange 11 absteht, der Kniehebel 23 also seine maximale Knicklage erreicht hat. Das Ende dieser ersten Phase b des Ausschalthubes ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt.For the mode of operation of the switch described, reference is also made to FIG. 2, in which in phase a the switch-on position shown on the left in FIG. 1 is repeated schematically and using the same reference numerals. During the switch-off stroke, the drive rod 16 is moved in the direction of the arrow 39. At the beginning of the switch-off stroke, the coupling 36 pulls the coupling 34 downward. Since the pivot pin 24 remains at approximately the same height, the contact rod 11 initially moves approximately twice as fast as the drive rod 16. However, the coupling 34 also transitions into the horizontal position, i. H. presses the toggle lever 23 into an even more pronounced kink position, so that the piston 18 initially moves in the same direction, although not by the same path as the contact rod 11 and thus as the pump cylinder 15. In this initial phase of the switch-off stroke, there is therefore mainly an acceleration of the contact rod 11 and of the components which move with it. The end of this first phase is reached when the coupling 34 protrudes at right angles from the contact rod 11, that is to say the toggle lever 23 has reached its maximum kink position. The end of this first phase b of the switch-off stroke is shown in FIG. 2.

Im weiteren Verlauf des Abwärtshubes der Antriebsstange 16 wird deren Bewegung zunächst noch immer übersetzt an die Kontaktstange 11 übertragen, wobei sich die Koppel 34 zunehmend schrägstellt und damit das Kniegelenk (Gelenkzapfen 24) nach innen zieht, so daß sich der Kniehebel 23 wieder streckt. Damit geht aber eine gegenläufige Bewegung des Pumpkolbens 18 in bezug auf den Pumpzylinder 15 einher, so daß nun hauptsächlich eine Kompression des Löschgases im Pumpraum 17 erfolgt. Das Ende dieser »Kompressionsphase« ist bei vollständig gestrecktem Kniehebel 23 erreicht und in Fig. 2c dargestellt.In the further course of the downward stroke of the drive rod 16, its movement is initially still transmitted in a translated manner to the contact rod 11, the coupling 34 being increasingly inclined and thus pulling the knee joint (pivot pin 24) inwards, so that the toggle lever 23 stretches again. However, this is accompanied by an opposing movement of the pump piston 18 with respect to the pump cylinder 15, so that now mainly the compression of the extinguishing gas in the pump chamber 17 takes place. The end of this “compression phase” is reached when the toggle lever 23 is fully extended and is shown in FIG. 2c.

Bei der weiteren Abwärtsbewegung der Antriebsstange 16 wird durch die Koppel 34 und 36 der Kniehebel 23 über seine Strecklage überdrückt und geht zunehmend wieder in eine Knicklage über. Da sich nun auch das Kniegelenk (Gelenkzapfen 24) gleichsinnig zur Antriebsstange 16 bewegt, erfolgt die Übertragung deren Bewegung praktisch ohne Übersetzung auf die Kontaktstange 11, während der Pumpkolben 18 sich nun wieder gleichsinnig mit dem Pumpzylinder 15 bewegt. Das Ende dieser Phase d ist mit der AusschaltsteIlung erreicht und in Fig. 2 dargestellt.With the further downward movement of the drive rod 16, the toggle lever 23 is pushed over its extended position by the couplings 34 and 36 and increasingly changes back into a bent position. Since the knee joint (pivot pin 24) now also moves in the same direction as the drive rod 16, its movement is transmitted practically without translation to the contact rod 11, while the pump piston 18 now moves in the same direction again with the pump cylinder 15. The end of this phase d is reached with the switch-off position and is shown in FIG. 2.

In Fig 3 ist ein vereinfachtes Weg-Zeit-Diagramm (S-t-Diagramm) dargestellt, wobei vereinfachend angenommen wurde, daß vom Beginn (Phase a) bis zum Ende (Phase d) des Ausschalthubes die Antriebsstange 16 sich linear mit der Zeit bewege Die Bewegung der Antriebsstange 16 ist daher in Fig. mit der ausgezogenen, geraden Linie dargestellt. Die Bewegung der Kontaktstange 11 und mithin des Kontaktstiftes 12 ist in Fig. 3 mit der strichpunktierten Kurve dargestellt. Man erkennt daraus, daß sich die Kontaktstange 11 bis zu der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Phase c erheblich schneller bewegt als die Antriebsstange 16. Nach dem Zeitpunkt der Phase c bewegt sich die Kontaktstange 11 zunehmend gleich schnell wie die Antriebsstange 16.In Fig. 3, a simplified path-time diagram (St diagram) is shown, with a simplifying assumption that from the beginning (phase a) to the end (phase d) of the switch-off stroke, the drive rod 16 moves linearly with time. The movement the drive rod 16 is therefore shown in Fig. With the solid, straight line. The movement of the contact rod 11 and therefore of the contact pin 12 is shown in Fig. 3 with the dash-dotted curve. It can be seen from this that the contact rod 11 moves considerably faster than the drive rod 16 up to phase c shown in FIG. 2. After the time of phase c, the contact rod 11 moves increasingly faster than the drive rod 16.

Mit der gestrichelten Kurve ist in Fig. 3 (mit einem verschobenen Nullpunkt) der Bewegungsverlauf des Pumpkolbens 18 dargestellt. Man sieht, daß in der Anfangsphase des Ausschalthubes, also zwischen den Zeitpunkten der Phasen a und b der Pumpkolben 18 sich gleichsinnig wenngleich weniger schnell als die Antriebsstange 16 und vor allem als die Kontaktstange 11 bewegt, während zwischen den Zeitpunkten der Phasen b und c der Pumpkolben 18 sich gegensinnig zur Kontaktstange 11 bewegt. Während also in der Anfangsphase des Ausschalthubes im wesentlichen die Kontaktstange 11 beschleunigt wird, erfolgt die Kompression des Löschgases zur Hauptsache erst zwischen den Zeitpunkten der Phasen b und c. Danach bewegt sich der Pumpkolben 18 wiederum gleichsinnig und etwa gleich schnell wie die Kontaktstange 11 und die Antriebsstange 16. Zwischen den Phasen a, b, c, d der Fig.2 sind jeweils durch Pfeile die Richtungen und die Strecken angegeben, um welche sich die Antriebsstange 16, die Kontaktstange 11 und der Pumpkolben 18 während eines Ausschalthubes bewegen.The dashed curve in FIG. 3 (with a shifted zero point) shows the course of movement of the pump piston 18. It can be seen that in the initial phase of the switch-off stroke, i.e. between the times of phases a and b, the pump piston 18 moves in the same direction, albeit less quickly than the drive rod 16 and, above all, as the contact rod 11, while between the times of phases b and c Pump piston 18 moves in opposite directions to the contact rod 11. So while in the initial phase of the switch-off stroke the contact rod 11 is essentially accelerated, the compression of the extinguishing gas takes place mainly between the times of phases b and c. Then the pump piston 18 again moves in the same direction and approximately the same speed as the contact rod 11 and the drive rod 16. Between the phases a, b, c, d of FIG. 2, the directions and the distances by which the drive rod 16, the contact rod 11 and the pump piston 18 are indicated by arrows move during a switch-off stroke.
