Description

Die Neuerung betrifft eine mechanische Steuerungseinrichtung für elektrische Kontaktanardnungen, mit einem Schaltstern, der im mechanischen Steuerungsfluß zwischen umlaufenden Schaltnocken und der stationären Kontaktanordnung angeordnet ist, der,schaltprogrammkonform von den Schaltnocken beaufschlagt, den mechanischen Schaltimpuls weiterleitet und diese ein-, aus- oder umschaltet, und der mit der Kontaktanordnung in dauerndem Eingriff steht, insbesondere für schaltende Zeitmeßgeräte.The innovation relates to a mechanical control device for electrical contact arrangements, with a switching star, which is arranged in the mechanical control flow between rotating switching cams and the stationary contact arrangement, which, in accordance with the switching program, is acted upon by the switching cams, forwards the mechanical switching pulse and switches it on, off or over, and which is in constant engagement with the contact arrangement, especially for switching timepieces.

Bei derartigen Geräten ist es erforderlich, daß die elektrische Kontaktanordnung, die dort beispielsweise von den Schaltnocken oder Schaltfingern von Schaltreitern, die auf einer zeithaltend umlaufenden Zeitscheibe angeordnet sind, mittelbar über einen Schaltstern beaufschlagt werden, zum Schaltzeitpunkt relativ schnell, d.h. kurzzeitig abrupt von der einen Schaltlage in die andere SchaltlagE umgeschaltet werden, um insbesondere der Bildung von undefinierten Übergangswiderständen, insbesondere kurz vor dem Umschalten, entgegenzuwirken. Es soll jedoch sichergestellt sein, daß eine entsprechende Steuerungseinrichtung für eine zuverlässige reproduzierbare Funktion ohne aufwendige manuelle Justage an der Steuerungseinrichtung und/oder der Kontaktanordnung in Funktion gesetzt werden kann.With devices of this type, it is necessary that the electrical contact arrangement, which is applied there, for example, by the switching cams or switching fingers of switching riders, which are arranged on a time-keeping circulating time slice, are acted upon indirectly via a switching star relatively quickly, i.e. are abruptly switched from one switching position to the other switching position E in order to counteract in particular the formation of undefined contact resistances, in particular shortly before the switching. However, it should be ensured that a corresponding control device for a reliable reproducible function can be put into operation without complex manual adjustment on the control device and / or the contact arrangement.

Die bekannten derartigen Einrichtungen mit einem Schaltstern als mittelbares Funktionselement zwischen insbesondere umlaufenden Schaltnocken oder Schaltfingern und einer Kontaktanordnung, wie. sie beispielsweise bei Schaltuhren häufig eingesetzt werden, erfordern eine relativ zeitraubende, aufwendige und teure manuelle Justage, insbesondere der Kontaktfedern der Kontaktanordnungen, die dort mit dem Schaltstern in Ein- griff stehen. Diese Justage bringt relativ große Toleranzen hinsichtlich des Kontaktdruckes, des Schaltdrehmomentes und auch des jeweiligen Abrißzeitpunktes der Kontakte der Kontaktanordnung mit sich.The known such devices with a switching star as an indirect functional element between, in particular, rotating switching cams or switching fingers and a contact arrangement, such as. they are often used, for example, in time switches, require a relatively time-consuming, complex and expensive manual adjustment, in particular the contact springs of the contact arrangements, which are in contact with the switching star there. handle stand. This adjustment brings with it relatively large tolerances with regard to the contact pressure, the switching torque and also the time at which the contacts of the contact arrangement break off.

Der Neuerung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steuerungseinrichtung der eingangsgenannten Art für elektrische Kontaktanordnungen, insbesondere in einer Ausführung mit sogenannten Federsätzen, zu schaffen, bei der die Eingriffsverhältnisse zwischen der mechanischen Steuerungseinrichtung und der Kontaktanordnung reproduzierbar sind und eine Justierung der Kontaktanordnung zur mechanischen Steuerungseinrichtung überflüssig ist.The innovation is based on the task of creating a control device of the type mentioned for electrical contact arrangements, in particular in a version with so-called spring sets, in which the engagement relationships between the mechanical control device and the contact arrangement are reproducible and an adjustment of the contact arrangement to the mechanical control device is superfluous .

Diese Aufgabe wird neuerungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen dem Schaltstern und der Kontaktanordnung ein, aus einem Steigrad und einem Anker bestehendes, Schaltwerk angeordnet ist, und daß das Steigrad mit dem Schaltstern gekoppelt ist und ein Schaltarm des Ankers mit der Kontaktanordnung in Eingriff steht. Der Schaltstern und das Steigrad sind dort insbesondere einstückig miteinander verbunden.According to the innovation, this object is achieved in that a switching mechanism consisting of a climbing wheel and an armature is arranged between the switching star and the contact arrangement, and in that the climbing wheel is coupled to the switching star and a switching arm of the armature is in engagement with the contact arrangement. The switching star and the climbing wheel are connected there in one piece in particular.

Vorteilhaft bei dieser Einrichtung ist nicht nur die jeweils klar reproduzierbare, definierte Steuerbewegung des Ankers, der vom Steigrad beaufschlagt wird, sondern auch der klar reproduzierbare, definierte Eingriff des Schaltarmes des Ankers mit den Kantaktfedern der Kontaktanordnung. Vorteilhaft ist ferner die einfache und übersichtliche Herstellung dieser mechanischen Steuereinrichtung aus wenigen Einzelteilen aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffen.An advantage of this device is not only the clearly reproducible, defined control movement of the armature, which is acted upon by the climbing wheel, but also the clearly reproducible, defined engagement of the switching arm of the armature with the contact springs of the contact arrangement. Another advantage is the simple and clear production of this mechanical control device from a few individual parts made of thermoplastic materials.

Dem Schaltreiter 8 mit dem längeren Schaltfinger oder Schaltnocken 6 ist dort eine EIN-Schaltfunktion und dem Schaltreiter 9 mit dem kürzeren Schaltfinger oder Schaltnocken 7 ist eine AUS-Schaltfunktion zugedacht.The switching tab 8 with the longer switching finger or switching cam 6 is there an ON switching function and the switching tab 9 with the shorter switching finger or switching cam 7 is intended for an OFF switching function.

Auf der Welle 12 des Schaltsternes 1 ist gemäß der Neuerung ein sogenanntes Steigrad 13 kraftschlüssig, insbesondere einstückig mit dem Schaltstern 1 verbunden, angeordnet. Dieses Steigrad 13 besitzt in zwei Ebenen zueinander radial versetzt angeordnete, einander gegenüber liegende Nockenpaare 14 und 15, die wechselseitig Paletten 16 und 17 eines Schaltankers 18 beaufschlagen, der über einen Schaltarm 19 Kontaktfedern 20, 21 einer elektrischen Kontaktanordnung 22 betätigt. Das Steigrad 13 und der Schaltanker 18 bilden ein sogenanntes Schaltwerk, das funktionstechnisch zwischen dem Schaltstern 1 und der Kontaktanordnung 22 neuerungsgemäß angeordnet ist.According to the innovation, a so-called climbing wheel 13 is arranged on the shaft 12 of the switching star 1 in a force-locking manner, in particular in one piece with the switching star 1. This climbing wheel 13 has two planes which are radially offset from one another and opposite one another lying cam pairs 14 and 15, which alternately act on pallets 16 and 17 of a switch armature 18, which actuates contact springs 20, 21 of an electrical contact arrangement 22 via a switch arm 19. The climbing wheel 13 and the switching armature 18 form a so-called switching mechanism, which is functionally arranged between the switching star 1 and the contact arrangement 22 according to the innovation.

Das Schaltwerk gewährleistet eine einfache und reproduzierbare Steuerung der Kontaktanordnung 22, die dort relativ einfach aufgebaut sein sein kann und keine Justage erfordert, da die Kontaktabstände und Kontaktdrucke teils durch den Schaltarm 19 und teils durch die räumlich klar fixierte kraft- und formschlüssige Anordnung der Kontaktfedern 20, 21 in einem Isolierblock 28 gegeben sind.The switching mechanism ensures simple and reproducible control of the contact arrangement 22, which can be constructed there in a relatively simple manner and does not require any adjustment, since the contact spacings and contact pressures partly through the switching arm 19 and partly through the spatially clearly fixed non-positive and form-fitting arrangement of the contact springs 20 , 21 are given in an insulating block 28.
