Definitions
- the invention relates to a contact arrangement for electrical switching devices, in particular electromagnetic switching devices, consisting of a cranked contact bridge held in a contact bridge support via a spring plate which is guided against displacement transversely to the direction of movement and which can be displaced against the force of a contact pressure spring in the direction of movement with the spring plate Contact parts can be connected via contact pads.
- a contact bridge is inserted into a window of the contact bridge support and held against displacement in the contact bridge support by the spring plate (DE-U-1 744 061, DE-B-1 140 264).
- the invention has for its object to modify this known switchgear version of power engineering so that contact bridges can also be used for electronic circuits without difficulty.
- the contact bridge support 1 which is driven by a magnetic drive (not shown in more detail), has a window-shaped opening 2, on the one support edge 3 of which the contact pressure spring 4 is supported, which on the other hand rests on the spring plate 5 with frictional engagement.
- the spring plate 5 is guided with a rag 6 in the actuating direction of the contact bridge carrier 1 and secured against slipping out.
- the contact bridge 8 is pressed in between the spring plate 5 and the other support edge 7. It consists of the two contact bridge parts 9 and 10, which were created by longitudinal division of the contact bridge and which can be inserted together between the spring plate 5 and the support edge 7 instead of a conventional one-piece contact bridge, as shown in FIG. 3 in the initial stage.
- the contact bridge parts 9 and 10 are made narrower through recesses 12 so that the exact width of the contact bridges can be maintained. At least at the bends. namely to fear otherwise that the material will widen, so that the contact bridge parts 9 and 10 are not, as shown in Fig. 2. can be close together.
- the contact pads 13 are, as also shown in FIG. 2, semicircular, so that after insertion of the two contact bridge parts 9 and 10 there is a circular contact pad as a total pad, the parts of which are so close together that the contact pad 14 on the fixed contact part 15 is practically complete is covered without leaving a gap between the two contact pads 13. Outside the contact pads, there are insertion lugs 16 which, as shown in FIG.
- the pent roof-shaped design of the contact supports 13 also enables the contact bridge between the spring plate 5 and the support edge 7 to be inserted more easily without the contact bridge getting caught when being inserted.
- the insertion lugs 16 can be provided with bevels, so that the insertion through the inclined surfaces is further simplified without having to go to any trouble.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Kontaktanordnung für elektrische Schaltgeräte, insbesondere elektromagnetische Schalgeräte, bestehend aus einer in einem Kontaktbrückenträger über einen gegen Verschieben quer zur Bewegungsrichtung geführten Federteller gehaltenen, entgegen der Kraft einer Kontaktdruckfeder in Bewegungsrichtung mit dem Federteller verschiebbaren, abgekröpften Kontaktbrücke, die mit feststehenden Kontaktteilen über Kontaktauflagen in Verbindung bringbar ist.The invention relates to a contact arrangement for electrical switching devices, in particular electromagnetic switching devices, consisting of a cranked contact bridge held in a contact bridge support via a spring plate which is guided against displacement transversely to the direction of movement and which can be displaced against the force of a contact pressure spring in the direction of movement with the spring plate Contact parts can be connected via contact pads.
Bei bekannten Schaltgeräten der obengenannten Art ist in ein Fenster des Kontaktbrückenträgers jeweils eine Kontaktbrücke eingesetzt und von dem Federteller gegen Verschieben im Kontaktbrückenträger gehalten (DE-U-1 744 061, DE-B-1 140 264).In known switching devices of the above-mentioned type, a contact bridge is inserted into a window of the contact bridge support and held against displacement in the contact bridge support by the spring plate (DE-U-1 744 061, DE-B-1 140 264).
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese bekannte Schaltgeräteausführung der Starkstromtechnik dahingehend abzuändern, daß ohne Schwierigkeiten auch Kontaktbrücken für elektronische Schaltkreise Verwendung finden können.The invention has for its object to modify this known switchgear version of power engineering so that contact bridges can also be used for electronic circuits without difficulty.
Dies wird auf einfache Weise durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale. erreicht.This is easily achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. reached.
Hierdurch ist es möglich, im Gegensatz zu einer weiterhin auf dem Relaisgebiet bekannten Anordnung (US-A-3 272 949), bei der die einzelnen Kontaktbrücken im Abstand zueinander liegen, die Kontaktbrücken derart dicht beieinander zu hatten, daß die einzelnen Kontaktauflagen praktisch als geschlossenes Ganzes auf der einstückigen Festkontaktteilauflage aufliegen, so daß der Kontaktauflagenquerschnitt am feststehenden Kontaktteil komplett ausgenutzt werden kann. Um die dicht nebeneinanderliegenden Kontaktbrückenteile vorzugsweise maschinell in ein Fenster des Kontaktbrückenträgers zwischen Federteller und Abstützungskante einfach einschieben zu können, haben sich die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 2 angegebenen Merkmale als vorteilhaft erwiesen. Verhakungen an der Kontaktauflage beim Einschieben können mit Sicherheit verhindert werden, wenn die Kontaktauflagen in der durch das Kennzeichen des Anspruches 3 angegebenen Weise ausgebildet sind. Die Kreisquerschnittsform der Kontaktauflagen der feststehenden Kontaktteile kann beibehalten werden, wenn die Kontaktauflagen gemäß Kennzeichen des Anspruches 4 ausgebildet sind.This makes it possible, in contrast to an arrangement which is still known in the relay field (US Pat. No. 3,272,949), in which the individual contact bridges are spaced apart, to have the contact bridges so close to one another that the individual contact pads are practically closed The whole rest on the one-piece fixed contact part support, so that the contact support cross section on the fixed contact part can be fully utilized. In order to be able to easily push the contact bridge parts lying close together, preferably mechanically, into a window of the contact bridge support between the spring plate and the support edge, the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 2 have proven to be advantageous. Hooking on the contact pad when inserting can be prevented with certainty if the contact pads are designed in the manner indicated by the characterizing part of
Anhand der Zeichnung wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der Erfindung beschrieben und die Wirkungsweise näher erläutert.An exemplary embodiment according to the invention is described with reference to the drawing and the mode of operation is explained in more detail.
Es zeigen :
- Figur 1 schematisch dargestellt die erfindungsgemäße Kontaktanordnung in Seitenansicht,
- Figur 2 eine Draufsicht bei geschnittenem Kontaktbrückenträger,
Figur 3 den Beginn des Einschubvorganges der Kontaktbrücken.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of the contact arrangement according to the invention,
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view with the contact bridge carrier cut,
- Figure 3 shows the beginning of the insertion process of the contact bridges.
Der von einem nicht näher dargestellten Magnetantrieb angetriebene Kontaktbrückenträger 1 besitzt eine fensterförmige Öffnung 2, an deren einen Abstützungskante 3 sich die Kontaktdruckfeder 4 abstützt, die andererseits an dem Federteller 5 unter Kraftschluß anliegt. Der Federteller 5 ist mit Lappen 6 in Betätigungsrichtung des Kontaktbrückenträgers 1 an diesem verschiebbar geführt und gegen Herausrutschen gesichert. Zwischen dem Federteller 5 und der anderen Abstützungskante 7 ist die Kontaktbrücke 8 eingepreßt. Sie besteht aus den beiden Kontaktbrückenteilen 9 und 10, die durch Längsteilung der Kontaktbrücke entstanden sind und die anstelle einer üblichen einstückigen Kontaktbrücke gemeinsam zwischen Federteller 5 und Abstützungskante 7 eingeschoben werden können, wie dies Fig. 3 im Anfangsstadium darstellt. Im Bereich der Abkröpfung 11 sind die Kontaktbrückenteile 9 und 10 durch Ausnehmungen 12 schmaler ausgeführt, so daß die genaue Breite der Kontaktbrücken eingehalten werden kann. Zumindest an den Biegestellen ist . nämlich sonst zu befürchten, daß sich das Material verbreitert, so daß die Kontaktbrückenteile 9 und 10 nicht, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt. dicht nebeneinander liegen können. Die Kontaktauflagen 13 sind, wie Fig. 2 ebenfalls zeigt, halbkreisförmig ausgebildet, so daß sich nach Einführen der beiden Kontaktbrückenteile 9 und 10 eine kreisförmige Kontaktauflage als Gesamtauflage ergibt, deren Teile so dicht nebeneinander liegen, daß die Kontaktauflage 14 am feststehenden Kontaktteil 15 praktisch komplett bedeckt ist, ohne einen Spalt zwischen den beiden Kontaktauflagen 13 freizulassen. Außerhalb der Kontaktauflagen , sind Einführansätze 16 vorhanden, die, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, zwischen den Federteller 5 und die Abstützungskante 7 zum Einführen der Kontaktbrücken geschoben werden können. Die pultdachförmige Ausführung der Kontaktauflagen 13 ermöglicht weiterhin das leichtere Eingleiten der Kontaktbrücke zwischen Federteller 5 und Abstützungskante 7, ohne daß die Kontaktbrücke beim Einschieben verhakt. Die Einführungsansätze 16 können mit Abschrägungen versehen werden, so daß das Einführen durch die Schrägflächen weiterhin vereinfacht wird, ohne hierbei einen Aufwand treiben zu müssen.The contact bridge support 1, which is driven by a magnetic drive (not shown in more detail), has a window-shaped opening 2, on the one
