Abstract

Bei einem elektrischen Trenn- oder Erdungsschalter mit Messerkontakten liegt das Schaltmesser (6) in offener Stellung des Schalters angenähert gegenüber des Messerkontaktes (1). Es wird beim Schließen des Schalters von der geschlossenen Seite (9) des Meserkontaktes (1) her in den mittleren Schlitz (2) eingeführt und zum Bereich der Stromkontakte bewegt, bis es an einem isolierenden Anschlag (11), der unterhalb des Messerkontaktes (1) angeordnet ist, in der geschlossenen Lage des Schalters, in dem sich das Schaltmesser (6) senkrecht zum Messerkontakt (1) befindet, zur Anlage gelangt.In the case of an electrical disconnector or earthing switch with knife contacts, the switch knife (6) is approximately in the open position of the switch with respect to the knife contact (1). When the switch is closed, it is inserted from the closed side (9) of the knife contact (1) into the middle slot (2) and moved to the area of the current contacts until it touches an insulating stop (11) which is below the knife contact (1 ) is arranged, in the closed position of the switch, in which the switch blade (6) is perpendicular to the blade contact (1), comes to the system.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen elektrischen Trenn-oder Erdungsschalter, bestehend aus jeweils um einen Drehpunkt beweglichen Schaltmessern und Messerkontakten mit einem einseitig offenen mittleren Schlitz, dessen Seitenwände federnde Stromkontakte bilden, die in geschlossenem Zustand des Schalters seitlich an dem senkrecht zum Messerkontakt stehenden und in den Schlitz eingreifenden Schaltmesser anliegen.The invention relates to an electrical disconnector or earthing switch, each consisting of switching knives and knife contacts movable about a pivot point, with a central slot open on one side, the side walls of which form resilient current contacts, which, when the switch is closed, are connected laterally to the one perpendicular to the knife contact and in the switching knife engaging the slot.

Derartig aufgebaute Trennschalter sind allgemein bekannt und z.B. in der DE-OS 23 12 900 in den Fig. 12 bis 15 dargestellt. In geöffnetem Zustand des Trenn- oder Erdungsschalters liegt der Messerkontakt angenähert parallel zum Schaltmesser, wobei der Drehpunkt, um den das Schaltmesser bewegt wird, oberhalb oder unterhalb des Bereiches der Stromkontakte des Messerkontaktes liegt. Die Drehung des Schaltmessers beim Schließen des Schalters ergibt eine Bewegung des oberen Endes des Schaltmessers auf den Messerkontakt hin, in den es von der Stirnseite in den mittleren Schlitz eintritt, bis es, senkrecht zum Messerkontakt stehend, die Endlage im Bereich der Stromkontakte erreicht. Durch diese besondere Lage des Schaltmessers zum Messerkontakt ergeben sich bei Fließen eines Stromes Kräfte, die das Schaltmesser aus dem Messerkontakt drücken wollen und denen dieser, da der mittlere Schlitz des Messerkontaktes an der neben den Stromkontakten liegenden Stirnseite offen ist, nur wenig Widerstand, nämlich nur die Reibung der Stromkontakte entgegensetzt. Insbesondere im Kurzschlußfall besteht die Gefahr, daß die von der Stromschleife ausgeübten Kräfte größer als die Reibung der federnd am Schaltmesser anliegenden Stromkontakte ist, weshalb. manchmal auch äußere Verriegelungen vorgesehen sind.Disconnectors constructed in this way are generally known and are shown, for example, in DE-OS 23 12 900 in FIGS. 12 to 15. When the disconnector or earthing switch is open, the knife contact is approximately parallel to the switching knife, the pivot point about which the switching knife is moved lying above or below the range of the current contacts of the knife contact. The rotation of the switch blade when the switch closes results in a movement of the upper end of the switch blade towards the knife contact, into which it enters the middle slot from the front side until it, perpendicular to the knife contact, reaches the end position in the area of the current contacts. Due to this special position of the switch blade relative to the knife contact, when a current flows, forces arise that want to push the switch blade out of the knife contact and because of this, because the middle slot of the knife contact is on the front side next to the current contacts is open, only little resistance, namely only opposes the friction of the current contacts. Particularly in the event of a short circuit, there is a risk that the forces exerted by the current loop will be greater than the friction of the current contacts resiliently applied to the switch blade, which is why. sometimes external interlocks are provided.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem elektrischen Trenn- oder Erdungsschalter mit einer Messerkontaktverbindung zu verhindern, daß das Schaltmesser aus dem Messerkontakt aufgrund der bei Kurzschlüssen möglichen Stromkräfte herausgedrückt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object, in an electrical disconnector or earthing switch with a blade contact connection, to prevent the switching blade from being pressed out of the blade contact due to the possible current forces in the event of short circuits.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist ein elektrischer Trenn-oder Erdungsschalter der eingangs beschriebenen Art gemäß der Erfindung so ausgebildet, daß das Schaltmesser in offener Stellung des Trenn- oder Erdungsschalters angenähert gegenüber dem Messerkontakt liegt und beim Schließen des Schalters von der geschlossenen Seite des Messerkontaktes her in den Schlitz eingeführt und zum Bereich der Stromkontakte geführt wird und daß ein isolierender Anschlag unterhalb des Messerkontaktes angeordnet ist, an dem das Schaltmesser in der geschlossenen Stellung anliegt. Das Schaltmesser liegt also nicht mehr, wie bisher üblich, in offener Stellung des Trenn- oder Erdungsschalters auf der auf dem Drehpunkt bezogenen abgewandten Seite des Messerkontaktes, sondern Messerkontakt und Schaltmesser liegen angenähert gegenüber, d. h. sie stehen schräg zueinander oder über- bzw. unter- oder nebeneinander. Dadurch ergibt sich für die Schaltbewegung eine Umkehrung der Drehrichtung des Schaltmessers bezogen auf die Lage des feststehenden Messerkontaktes, und es wird erreicht, daß das Schaltmesser von der geschlossenen Seite des Messerkontaktes in dessen mittleren Schlitz einfährt. Durch den unterhalb des Messerkontaktes angeordneten Anschlag, an dem das Schaltmesser in der geschlossenen Stellung des Trennschalters zur Anlage gelangt, wird ein Herausdrehen des Schaltmessers infolge der durch die Schleifenwirkung auftretenden Stromkräfte verhindert. Außerdem ergibt der Anschlag aus Isolierstoff noch eine Abstützung des Messerkontaktes, so daß dieser sich nicht durchbiegen kann.To achieve this object, an electrical disconnector or earthing switch of the type described at the outset is designed in accordance with the invention in such a way that the switch blade in the open position of the disconnector or earthing switch is approximately opposite the knife contact and when the switch is closed from the closed side of the knife contact the slot is inserted and guided to the area of the current contacts and that an insulating stop is arranged below the knife contact, against which the switching knife rests in the closed position. The switching knife is no longer in the open position of the disconnector or earthing switch on the side of the knife contact facing away from the pivot point, as is customary up to now, but knife contact and switching knife are approximately opposite one another, ie they are at an angle to one another or above or below or side by side. This results in a reversal of the direction of rotation of the switching knife in relation to the position of the fixed knife contact for the switching movement, and it is achieved that the switching knife moves from the closed side of the knife contact into its central slot. Through the below of the knife contact arranged stop, against which the switch blade comes to rest in the closed position of the disconnector, prevents the switch blade from being unscrewed as a result of the current forces caused by the loop effect. In addition, the stop made of insulating material still supports the knife contact so that it cannot bend.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist schematisch in den Fig. 1 und 2 der Zeichnung dargestellt. Fig. 1 zeigt die geschlossene Stellung des Trennschalters von der Seite her gesehen, Fig. 2 zeigt einen Draufblick auf den Messerkontakt.An embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing. Fig. 1 shows the closed position of the circuit breaker seen from the side, Fig. 2 shows a top view of the knife contact.

Der feststehende Messerkontakt 1 eines elektrischen Trennschalters weist einen mittleren Schlitz 2 auf, der auf der der Befestigung am Schaltergehäuse 3 entgegengesetzten Stirnseite 4 des Messerkontaktes 1 offen ist. Dort liegen auch die federnd ausgebildeten Stromkontakte 5, die in geschlossener Stellung des Trennschalters seitlich an dem Schaltmesser 6 zur Anlage gelangen. Das Schaltmesser 6 ist um den Drehpunkt 7 beweglich und liegt in offener Stellung des Trennschalters in der in Fig. 1 strichpunktiert angedeuteten Lage parallel oberhalb des Messerkontaktes 1.The fixed blade contact 1 of an electrical isolating switch has a central slot 2 which is open on the end face 4 of the blade contact 1 opposite the attachment to the switch housing 3. There are also the resiliently designed current contacts 5, which in the closed position of the isolating switch come to rest against the switch blade 6. The switching knife 6 is movable about the pivot point 7 and is in the open position of the disconnector in the position indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIG. 1 parallel above the knife contact 1.

Beim Schließen des Trennschalters bewegt sich das Schaltmesser 6 in der durch den Pfeil 8 angedeuteten Drehrichtung auf den Messerkontakt 1 zu, in dessen Schlitz 2 es von der geschlossenen Seite 9 her eintritt. Die von hinten verlaufende Einfahrtrichtung des Schaltmessers 6 ist in Fig. 2' durch den Pfeil 10 angedeutet. In seiner Endlage steht das Schaltmesser 6 bei geschlossenem Trennschalter senkrecht zum Messerkontakt 1 und liegt an einem unterhalb des Messerkontaktes 1 angeordneten Anschlag 11 aus Isolierstoff an. Dieser Anschlag 11 aus Isolierstoff, der die Schaltbewegung des Schaltmessers 6 nicht behindert, unterstützt den Messerkontakt 1, so daß dieser sich nicht durchbiegt und verhindert außerdem, daß die in Fig. 1 durch die Pfeile 12 angedeuteten, von der Stromschleife ausgeübten Kräfte, die besonders im Kurzschlußfall die Reibungskräfte der anliegenden Stromkontakte 5 übersteigen können, das Schaltmesser 6 aus dem Messerkontakt 1 herausdrehen können.When the disconnector is closed, the switch blade 6 moves in the direction of rotation indicated by the arrow 8 towards the blade contact 1, in the slot 2 of which it enters from the closed side 9. The entry direction of the switching knife 6, which runs from behind, is indicated in FIG. 2 'by the arrow 10. In its end position, the switch blade 6 is perpendicular to the blade contact 1 when the disconnector is closed and is in contact a stop 11 made of insulating material arranged below the knife contact 1. This stop 11 made of insulating material, which does not hinder the switching movement of the switching blade 6, supports the blade contact 1 so that it does not bend and also prevents the forces indicated in FIG. 1 by the arrows 12 from being exerted by the current loop, particularly in the event of a short circuit, the frictional forces of the current contacts 5 can exceed, the switch blade 6 can unscrew from the blade contact 1.
