Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-switch with an arc blowing field, in which a rotatably mounted switching arm carries a movable contact piece, which is assigned to a fixed contact piece, which is provided on the cross piece of a U-shaped, loop-forming contact strip which is connected internally to an electrical circuit and the other end of which is free, forms a deflecting horn and is assigned to a group of deion sheets, to which at least one arc baffle leads, the backing sheet of the tripping magnet serving as the carrier of the fixed contact piece and the width of the contact strip extending between two ceramic insulating washers.
  • the contact strip is formed from a single sheet.
  • the curved contact strip is used to conduct arcs, which occur in the event of short circuits between the contact pieces, to the deion plates.
  • the derivation of the short-circuit arcs is often unsatisfactory in this known small circuit breaker.
  • An important requirement placed on a miniature circuit breaker is a high short-circuit breaking capacity.
  • the contacts in these switches are small and low in mass, it is important that when the contacts are opened the arc migrates very quickly away from the contact pieces onto the arc guide plates.
  • a switch is also known (DE-B-9232-644), in which a ferromagnetic sheet metal strip is applied to the side of a contact strip facing away from a contact piece.
  • this arrangement is disadvantageous with regard to holding the sheet metal strip and improving the arc discharge.
  • the invention provides, solving this problem, a self-switch, which is characterized in that a ferromagnetic sheet metal strip is inserted into the side of the U-shaped bent contact strip facing away from the fixed contact piece, forming a loop.
  • the inserted sheet metal strip extends over the width of the bent contact strip and tapers in width with it towards the free end. This design results in optimal conditions for arc discharge.
  • the circuit breaker according to the drawing has a narrow housing, which consists of a box 1 and a lid, not shown in FIG. 1, placed thereon.
  • the side wall of the box 1 has three eyes 2 distributed, which are provided with holes, which coincide with holes in the lid and through which rivets, not shown, which hold the housing together.
  • the housing has barbs 3 facing one another on the rear side, one of which is mounted in a spring-loaded manner and which are a device for attaching the housing to rails.
  • the housing is equipped with a screw terminal 4 on each of an upper and a lower transverse side, to which lines for the supply line and the discharge of current can be connected.
  • the upper screw terminal 4 sits on a carrier piece 4 'which projects into the housing and carries a bimetallic release 5. This is connected via a metallic wire 6 to a switching arm 7, which forms a movable contact piece 8 which interacts with a fixed contact piece 9.
  • the fixed contact piece is on a coil of an impact trigger 10 is connected, which has a spring-loaded plunger. At the other end, the coil is connected to the lower screw terminal 4 via a metallic wire 11.
  • the shift arm 7 is rotatably mounted about an axis 12 and carries a three-armed locking lever 14 rotatably on its arm facing the front 13.
  • the bimetal trigger 5 acts on one arm of the locking lever 14 by means of an adjustable grub screw.
  • the plunger of the impact anchor trigger 10 acts on the second arm.
  • the third arm of the locking lever 14 interacts with an arm of a pawl 15 which is rotatably mounted about an axis 16 at the front end of the switching arm 7.
  • a joint piece 17 is articulated, which is articulated at the other end to an arm of a handle lever 18, which is rotatably mounted and the handle piece of which projects through an opening in the side wall on the front side 13.
  • the handle lever 18 is acted upon by a wire spring 19, which strives to bring the handle lever into the position with the handle positioned upward, which corresponds to the open state of the switching contact.
  • a tension spring 20 also acts on the switching arm 7.
  • the stationary Contact piece 9 is part of a contact strip 25 which is mechanically firmly connected to the impact anchor trigger 10 and is electrically connected to the coil.
  • the contact strip 25 has the shape of a square U, one leg of which begins at the end face of the anchor trigger 10, the corner formed by this leg and the cross piece forms the contact piece 9 and the second leg after the second corner with the free end of the Front edges of the deion plates 22 ends.
  • a sheet metal strip 26 is inserted into the bent contact strip 25 and runs over its entire length in accordance with the contact strip.
  • the thickness of the inserted metal strip is noticeably less than that of the contact strip; There is no firm, intimate, flat connection between the bent contact strip and the inserted sheet metal strip.
  • the contact strip 25 and the sheet metal strip 26 extend in width between two ceramic insulating disks 27, of which only the one lying on the bottom of the box 1 is shown in FIG. 1. These two insulating disks 27 delimit the part of the arc chamber 21 which is not occupied by the group of deion sheets 22.
