Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electromagnetic switching device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the electromagnetic switching device can be, for example, a contactor.
  • a contactor is widely known from CH-PS 349 324.
  • the invention has for its object to develop an electromagnetic switching device of the type mentioned, which while maintaining the above-mentioned advantages of the known construction has a significantly longer mechanical life than the known construction.
  • an electromagnetic switching device of the type mentioned, which while maintaining the above-mentioned advantages of the known construction has a significantly longer mechanical life than the known construction.
  • the leaf springs are also used as switch-off springs, so that separate switch-off springs are no longer required.
  • the articulated arms can also be fastened to the magnetic cores and the contact bridge support with the aid of leaf springs, as a result of which a bearingless and thus extraordinarily wear-resistant construction is obtained.
  • the contactor shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be designed for a nominal voltage of, for example, 660 V and have a multi-pole contact system, of which only one pole is shown.
  • the contactor is built on a central tripod plate, with the magnetic system of the contactor on one side and the contact system of the contactor on the other side of the tripod plate.
  • the magnet system is accommodated in a magnet housing 2, the lower wall of which forms a base plate 3 for mounting the contactor on a base.
  • the stand plate 1 and the magnet housing 2 can be made of plastic or light metal.
  • the contact system is surrounded by an arc shield 4 made of plastic, which is provided with quenching plates 5.
  • the contact system contains two switching points electrically connected in series per pole, each of which is arranged in its associated switching chamber 6, 7 formed in the arc shield. Each switching point has a fixed contact 8 or 9, which is attached to a connecting rail 10 or 11.
  • the fixed contacts are connected to one another in the closed contact position by a bridge contact 12, and the 3 contacts are resiliently fastened in a contact bridge carrier 13 connected to the magnet system.
  • a contact pressure spring (not shown) is arranged in the contact bridge support and acts on the bridge contact 12 via a bracket 14 and a leaf spring 15.
  • the magnet system contains a coil 16 fixedly arranged on the stand plate 1 and a magnetic core system which consists of two identical E-shaped magnetic cores 17 and 18.
  • the magnetic cores move along a straight line perpendicular to the contact movement, towards each other when switching on and away from each other when switching off.
  • Each magnetic core is suspended from the tripod plate with the aid of three elongated leaf springs 19-21 and 22-24.
  • the leaf springs are fixed at one end to the associated magnetic core and at the other end to the tripod plate 1.
  • fastening brackets 25, 26 are provided on the one hand on the outer legs of the magnetic cores and, on the other hand, projecting U-shaped brackets 27, 28 which are fastened in the middle of the yoke of their associated magnetic core.
  • the leaf springs are fixed with the aid of screws.
  • the attachment can also be done in other ways, e.g. by pouring or by clamping with spring clips on the mounting pins that are present on the magnetic cores or on the tripod plate.
  • the force exerted by the magnetic cores 17, 18 and their movements are transmitted to the contact bridges 13 via articulated arms 29, 30 rotatably mounted.
  • springs are present which keep the magnetic cores in the switch-off direction act upon.
  • These springs can be designed in many different ways, for example as compression springs which are clamped directly between spring stops which are attached to the magnetic cores.
  • compression springs which are attached to the bearings of the articulated arms 29, 30 in the contact bridges 13.
  • elongated leaf springs which are directed essentially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the magnetic cores, are fixed at their center to the brackets 27, 28 at the same point at which the leaf springs 19, 22 are fixed, and with their Butt ends against support lugs fixedly arranged in the contactor housing.
  • the embodiments described below are particularly advantageous, in which the switch-off takes place with the aid of the leaf springs 19-24 and special switch-off springs are not required.
  • FIG. 4 schematically shows an embodiment in which the bearing pins 31, 32 of the articulated arms 29, 30 running through the contact bridge support 13 are guided in guide grooves 33 which are present in two guide plates 34 arranged on each side of the articulated arms, which are fixed to the tripod plate 1 are attached.
  • the guide grooves 33 are L-shaped, so that the bearing pins must move perpendicular to the direction of movement of the contacts at the start of a switch-on process. This further improves shock resistance when the contactor is in the shutdown position.
  • shutdown springs 35, 36 are also shown, which in the exemplary embodiment are designed as wire springs that are fixedly mounted on the base plate 3.
  • FIG. 5 shows a further developed embodiment of a contactor according to the invention, in which the leaf springs 19 - 24 serve to suspend the magnetic cores 17, 18 and also serve as switch-off springs.
  • the leaf springs are considerably stronger than in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, and they are clamped at an angle so that they exert a permanent force in the direction of switching off.
  • the springs are attached to the magnetic cores with the aid of spring fastening members 37, 38, in which the springs are fixed with the aid of their own spring force.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show how the leaf spring 20 is fastened by means of a spring fastening element 37 in a dovetail groove 39 in the magnetic core 17.
  • the spring fastener 37 which is shown separately in Figures 8-10, is made by stamping and bending sheet metal.
  • the leaf spring has a central part 40 protruding from the magnetic core and two feet 41, 42 directed in opposite directions, which lie in a plane perpendicular to the central part and lie in the dovetail groove.
  • the feet are provided with hook-shaped end sections 43, 44 which grip around the lateral edges of the magnetic core and fix the leaf spring in the longitudinal direction of the groove.
  • the central part 40 is provided with two embossed (recessed) sections 46, 47 lying on one side of a slot 45, directed in the opposite direction and adapted to the spring 20.
  • the end section of the spring as can be seen from FIG. 11, is provided with a hole 48 which is adapted to a projection 49 embossed on the section 47 of the spring fastening.
  • the spring is fixed to the spring fastener 37 by inserting the end portion of the spring through the slot 45 between the portions 46 and 47 and into position such that the projection 49 of the spring fastener snaps into the hole 48 in the spring 20.
  • the spring fastening member After mounting in the contactor ( Figure 6), the spring fastening member is constantly acted upon by a clockwise torque exerted by the spring, which on the one hand fixes the leaf spring in the dovetail groove and on the other hand holds the spring in its position in the leaf spring.
  • FIG. 12 shows an embodiment with articulated arms fastened without bearings between the magnetic cores and the contact bridge support.
  • the articulated arms are fastened here with the aid of leaf springs 50 and 51.
  • FIGS. 13 to 18 show how the articulated arm 29 and the suspension and switch-off spring 19 are fastened to the magnetic core 17 with the aid of an essentially U-shaped fastening member 52 made of sheet metal.
  • One leg of the fastening member is fastened in a dovetail groove in the yoke of the magnetic core 17.
  • the other leg is provided with two sections 53 and 54, which are embossed in the opposite direction and lie on one side of a transverse slot 55.
  • the section 54 closest to the bottom part of the fastening member has an outwardly directed projection 56 which projects into a hole in the end section of the spring 19, the spring being fixed to the fastening member by its own force on the fastening member (see FIG. 13, 16 and 17).
  • the articulated arm 29 is provided with a foot 57 which is attached to the articulated arm, for example by welding.
  • the foot is rotatably fixed to the bottom part of the fastening member 52 by means of the leaf spring 50.
  • the foot has a slot 58 for the spring and a pressed-down end section 59 lying outside the slot two embossed, upward protrusions 60 that fit into holes in one end portion of the spring 50.
  • the other end section of the spring is also provided with holes, into which embossed projections 61 on the bottom part of the fastening member 52 protrude (cf. FIGS. 13, 14, 15 and 18).
  • the articulated arm 29 is fastened to the contact bridge support 13 in the same way by means of the leaf spring 51.
  • the fastening springs 50, 51 for the articulated arm 29 and the corresponding springs for the articulated arm 30 must be kept stretched with a certain small straightening force in order to ensure safe functioning. In the embodiment according to FIG. 12, this is achieved with a spring 62 arranged between the arms 29 and 30, which acts on the arms 29 and 30 with a torque directed clockwise or counterclockwise.
