Abstract

A movable and a stationary contact element are tubularly structured for the purpose of axially discharging arc gases. A blast nozzle is associated in a fixed reference position with respect to one of the contact elements. A narrowest location or throat of the blast nozzle is positioned forwardly of the end of this one contact element and is closed by the other contact element in the cut-on position of the gas-blast switch. An inlet of the blast nozzle communicates with a pump space bounded by a cylinder and a piston. The contact element with which the blast nozzle is associated displaceably extends through the piston. The pump space can be pressurized during a cut-off stroke. Both of the contact elements are provided with related outlets in their related regions which are remote from the free ends of the contact elements. At least in the cut-off position the outlets interconnect an interior space formed in the related contact element and a blow-out space. In order to utilize the pressure pulses occurring due to a switching arc, for supporting the pressure prevailing in the pump space, the outlet of the contact element, with which the blast nozzle is associated, opens into the pump space in the cut-on position and the distance of this outlet from the free end of the related contact element is greater than the pumping stroke between the piston and the cylinder which occurs during the cut-off stroke.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Druckgasschalter gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a gas pressure switch according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein solcher Druckgasschalter ist beispielsweise aus der CH-PS 587 556 bekannt. Beim bekannten Druckgasschalter setzt bei einem Ausschalthub unmittelbar nach der Trennung der Kontakte voneinander eine axiale Abströmung des durch den Lichtbogen stark erhitzten und unter zusätzlichen Druck gesetzten Löschgases durch beide Kontaktstücke in den Ausblasraum ein. Das unter zusätzlichen Druck gesetzte Löschgas wirkt aber namentlich beim Abschalter hoher Ströme auch auf den Pumpraum zurück, in dem dass sehr hohe Druckspitzen erreicht werden, die vom Schalterantrieb auf alle Fälle zu überwinden sind. Mithin muss beim vorbekannten Schalter der Antrieb so leistungsfähig und massiv gebaut werden, dass auch bei der Abschaltung sehr hoher Ströme die einwandfreie Bewegung der Kontaktstücke gewährleistet bleibt.Such a pressure gas switch is known for example from CH-PS 587 556. In the known gas switch, an axial outflow of the extinguishing gas, which is strongly heated by the arc and pressurized, sets in through both contact pieces in the blow-out space immediately after the contacts are separated. The extinguishing gas put under additional pressure, however, especially when the high currents are switched off, also has an effect on the pump chamber, in that very high pressure peaks are reached, which must be overcome by the switch drive in any case. Therefore, the drive of the previously known switch must be built so powerfully and solidly that even when very high currents are switched off, the flawless movement of the contact pieces is guaranteed.

Es ist daher ein Zweck der Erfindung, einen Druckgasschalter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem ein Teil des vom Lichtbogen hervorgerufenen Druckstosses zur Unterstützung der Bogenbeblasung herangezogen wird, wodurch der Schalterantrieb ohne Einbusse an Zuverlässigkeit leichter gebaut werden kann.It is therefore a purpose of the invention to provide a gas pressure switch of the type mentioned, in which a part of the pressure surge caused by the arc is used to support the arc blowing, whereby the switch drive can be built more easily without loss of reliability.

Dieser Zweck wird beim vorgeschlagenen Schalter dadurch erreicht, dass er die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 definierten Merkmale aufweist.This purpose is achieved in the proposed switch in that it is in the characterizing part of the claim 1 has defined features.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.Preferred embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.

Die in Fig. l dargestellten Teile eines Druckgasschalters 10 muss man sich als in einem nicht dargestellten, gekapselten und ein Löschgas, z.B. SF6, unter Ueberdruck enthaltenden Gehäuse angeordnet vorstellen. Man erkennt in Fig. 1 ein erstes, rohrförmiges Kontaktstück 11, mit dem über Stege 12 ein Zylinder 13 verbunden ist, dessen zwischen den Stegen 12 vorhandener Auslass zugleich den Einlass einer am Boden des Zylinders 13 befestigten und das freie, mit einem Abbrandring 14 versehene Ende des Kontaktstückes 11 umgebenden Blasdüse 15 bildet. Die engste Stelle 16 dieser aus einem Kunststoff oder einem anderen isolierenden Material bestehenden Blasdüse ist dem Abbrandring 14 vorgelagert. Das Kontaktstück 11 durchsetzt auf verschiebbare Weise einen Kolben 17 an dem eine das Kontaktstück 11 dicht umschliessende Führungshülse 18 befestigt oder angeformt ist. Der Kolben 17 und der Zylinder 13 begrenzen somit einen Pumpraum 19, der ebenfalls Löschgas enthält.The parts of a compressed gas switch 10 shown in FIG. 1 must be thought of as being arranged in an encapsulated housing (not shown) and containing an extinguishing gas, for example SF 6 , under excess pressure. 1 shows a first tubular contact piece 11, to which a cylinder 13 is connected via webs 12, the outlet between the webs 12 of which is at the same time the inlet of a cylinder 13 attached to the bottom of the cylinder 13 and the free one provided with a burn-off ring 14 End of the contact piece 11 surrounding blowing nozzle 15 forms. The narrowest point 16 of this blowing nozzle, which is made of a plastic or another insulating material, is located in front of the erosion ring 14. The contact piece 11 displaceably passes through a piston 17 to which a guide sleeve 18 tightly enclosing the contact piece 11 is fastened or molded. The piston 17 and the cylinder 13 thus delimit a pump chamber 19 which also contains extinguishing gas.

Das Kontaktstück 11 ist nicht über seine gesamte Länge rohrförmig, sondern nur in dem an den Abbrandring 14 anschliessenden Abschnitt 20. Am Ende dieses Abschnittes sind radiale Auslässe 21 vorhanden, die den Innenraum des Abschnittes 20 mit der jeweiligen Umgebung des Kontaktstückes 11 verbinden.The contact piece 11 is not tubular over its entire length, but only in the section 20 adjoining the erosion ring 14. At the end of this section there are radial outlets 21 which connect the interior of the section 20 with the respective surroundings of the contact piece 11.

Mit dem Kontaktstück 11 wirkt ein Kontaktstück 22 zusammen, dessen freies Ende ebenfalls mit einem Abbrandring 23 versehen und nur in dem auf diesen folgenden Abschnitt 24 rohrförmig ist, wobei am Ende dieses Abschnittes 24 Auslässe 25 vorhanden sind, die den Innenraum des Abschnittes 24 mit der Umgebung des Kontaktstückes 22 verbinden. In der Einschaltstellung verschliesst das Kontaktstück 22 die Blasdüse 15 an deren engsten Stelle 16 und auch das freie Ende des Kontaktstückes 11.With the contact piece 11, a contact piece 22 cooperates, the free end of which is also provided with an erosion ring 23 and is only tubular in the section 24 following this, 24 outlets 25 being present at the end of this section, which connect the interior of section 24 with the Connect the area around the contact piece 22. In the switched-on position, the contact piece 22 closes the blow nozzle 15 at its narrowest point 16 and also the free end of the contact piece 11.

Bei der in Fig. l dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Kolben 17 ortsfest, z.B. auf Säulen 26 abgestützt, während das Kontaktstück 11 und mithin auch der Zylinder 13 und die Blasdüse beweglich sind. Zu diesem Zweck ist das Kontaktstück 11 an einen nicht dargestellten Antrieb gekoppelt, mit welchem das Kontaktstück 11 im Sinne des Doppelpfeiles 27 zwischen der Ein- und der Ausschaltstellung verschiebbar ist. Wie der Kolben 17 ist auch das Kontaktstück 22 ortsfest angeordnet. Nur schematisch sind die zu den Kontaktstücken 11 bzw. 22 führenden Anschlüsse 28 bzw. 29 angegeben, wobei der Anschluss 28 an das bewegliche Kontaktstück 11 noch mit einem Gleitkontakt 30 versehen ist.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the piston 17 is stationary, e.g. supported on columns 26, while the contact piece 11 and thus also the cylinder 13 and the blowing nozzle are movable. For this purpose, the contact piece 11 is coupled to a drive, not shown, with which the contact piece 11 can be displaced in the direction of the double arrow 27 between the on and the off position. Like the piston 17, the contact piece 22 is also arranged in a stationary manner. The connections 28 and 29 leading to the contact pieces 11 and 22 are indicated only schematically, the connection 28 to the movable contact piece 11 also being provided with a sliding contact 30.

Bei einem Ausschalthub entfernt sich das Kontaktstück 11 vom Kontaktstück 22. Bevor die beiden Kontaktstücke jedoch sich gegenseitig verlassen, wird das im Pumpraum 19 befindliche Löschgas bereits etwas vorkomprimiert. Sobald sich die beiden Kontaktstücke trennen, wird ein Schaltlichtbogen gezogen, dessen Intensität von der Stärke des abgeschalteten Stromes abhängt. Dieser Schaltlichtbogen wird nun beblasen, auch wenn die Blasdüse noch durch das Kontaktstück 22 verschlossen ist. Die entstehenden Schaltgase strömen dann zur Hauptsache axial über die Auslässe 25 im Kontaktstück 22 ab. Ist aber der Schaltlichtbogen besonders intensiv, so dass der Druck der hochgespannten Schaltgase den Druck des vorkomprimierten Löschgases im Pumpraum übersteigt, so breitet sich eine Druckwelle durch den Abschnitt 20 und die Auslässe 21 aus und erhöht zusätzlich den bereits vorhandenen Druck im Pumpraum 19. Sobald die Blasdüse 15 das Kontaktstück 22 verlässt, wird die Beblasung des Schaltlichtbogens schlagartig intensiver, zumal dann die Druckunterstützung über die Auslässe 21 noch anhält, bis diese in die Führungshülse 18 eintreten und dadurch verschlossen sind. In diesem Moment hört die axiale Strömung im Abschnitt 20 vorübergehend auf und es bildet sich, je nach Intensität des Schaltlichtbogens, in diesem Abschnitt 20 ein Druckstau. Dieser entlädt sich dann, wenn die Auslässe 21 gegen Ende des Ausschalthubes wieder aus der Führungshülse 18 austreten.During a switch-off stroke, the contact piece 11 moves away from the contact piece 22. Before the two contact pieces leave each other, however, the extinguishing gas in the pump chamber 19 is already somewhat pre-compressed. As soon as the two contact pieces separate, a switching arc is drawn, the intensity of which depends on the strength of the switched-off current. This switching arc is now blown, even if the blowing nozzle is still closed by the contact piece 22. The ent standing switching gases then flow mainly axially through the outlets 25 in the contact piece 22. However, if the switching arc is particularly intense, so that the pressure of the high-voltage switching gases exceeds the pressure of the precompressed quenching gas in the pump chamber, a pressure wave propagates through section 20 and outlets 21 and additionally increases the pressure already present in pump chamber 19. As soon as the blowing nozzle 15 leaves the contact piece 22, blowing out the S is abruptly chaltlichtbogens intensive, since then the print support is still continuing via the outlets 21, to enter this into the guide sleeve 18 and are locked thereby. At this moment, the axial flow temporarily stops in section 20 and, depending on the intensity of the switching arc, a pressure build-up forms in this section 20. This then discharges when the outlets 21 emerge again from the guide sleeve 18 towards the end of the switch-off stroke.

Zu beachten ist, dass der Rauminhalt des Pumpraumes 19 in Ausschaltstellung noch immer beachtlich ist, beträgt er doch noch etwa die Hälfte bis ein Drittel seines ursprünglichen Rauminhaltes in Einschaltstellung. Dadurch verbleibt im Pumpraum 19 stets ein ausreichendes Gaskissen, das die Rückwirkungen der vom Schaltlichtbogen ausgehenden Druckspitzen auf den Antrieb wirksam dämpft. Mit anderen Worten ist der Schalthub bedeutend kürzer als der an sich theoretisch mögliche Pumphub.It should be noted that the volume of the pump chamber 19 in the switch-off position is still considerable, since it is still about half to a third of its original volume in the switch-on position. As a result, a sufficient gas cushion always remains in the pump chamber 19, which effectively dampens the effects of the pressure peaks emanating from the switching arc on the drive. In other words, the switching stroke is significantly shorter than the theoretically possible pump stroke.

Die Ausführungsform der Fig. 2 entspricht weitgehend jener der Fig. 1 mit dem Unterschied, dass hier zusätzlich Mittel vorgesehen sind, um den Druck im Pumpraum 19 nicht über einen vorbestimmten Wert ansteigen zu lassen.The embodiment of FIG. 2 largely corresponds to that of FIG. 1 with the difference that here additional means are provided so that the pressure in the pump chamber 19 does not rise above a predetermined value.

Wie in Fig. 2 links zu erkennen ist, können diese Mittel durch ein an den Zylinder 13 angebautes und einen seitlichen Auslass 31 freigebendes Ueberdruckventil 32 und / oder durch ein am Kolben 17 angebautes, einen Durchlass 33 in diesem freigebendes Ueberdruckventil 34 gebildet sein. Falls sowohl am Zylinder 13 als auch am Kolben 17 ein Ueberdruckventil vorgesehen ist, ist es zweckmässig, diese auf etwa denselben Ansprechdruck einzustellen.As can be seen in Fig. 2 on the left, these agents can by an attached to the cylinder 13, and a lateral outlet 31 releasing pressure relief valve 32 and / or be constituted by an attached to the piston 17, a D urchlass 33 in this releasing excess pressure valve 34. If a pressure relief valve is provided both on the cylinder 13 and on the piston 17, it is expedient to set this to approximately the same response pressure.

In Fig. 2 rechts ist ein anderes Mittel dargestellt, um den Druck im Pumpraum 19 zu begrenzen. Hier ist am freien Ende der Hülse 18 ein abstehender Bund 35 angeformt, der normalerseise dichtend von einem Ringkolben 36 umschlossen ist. Der ebenfalls dichtend an der Innenwand des Zylinders 13 anliegende Ringkolben 36 ist über eine Feder 37 auf den Kolben 17 abgestützt, der hier einen die Wurzel der Hülse 18 umgebenden Kranz von Auslässen 38 aufweist. Vermag der Druck im Pumpraum 19 die Kraft der Feder 37 zu überwinden, wird der Ringkolben 36 auf den Kolben 17 hin verdrängt. Damit verlässt er auch den Bund 35 und zwischen der Hülse 18 und dem Innendurchmesser des Ringkolbens 36 entsteht ein Ringspalt, durch den der Ueberdruck im Pumpraum entweichen kann, bis die Feder 37 wieder den Ringkolben 36 auf die Höhe des Bundes 35 zu drücken vermag.Another means is shown on the right in FIG. 2 in order to limit the pressure in the pump chamber 19. Here, a protruding collar 35 is formed on the free end of the sleeve 18, which is normally sealed by an annular piston 36. The annular piston 36, which is also sealing against the inner wall of the cylinder 13, is supported by a spring 37 on the piston 17, which here has a ring of outlets 38 surrounding the root of the sleeve 18. If the pressure in the pump chamber 19 is able to overcome the force of the spring 37, the annular piston 36 is displaced towards the piston 17. He also leaves the collar 35 and between the sleeve 18 and the inner diameter of the annular piston 36, an annular gap is created through which the excess pressure in the pump chamber can escape until the spring 37 is able to push the annular piston 36 back to the height of the collar 35.

Auch bei der in Fig. 2 rechts gezeigten Ausführungsform beträgt der Rauminhalt des Pumpraumes in Ausschaltstellung noch etwas mehr als ein Drittel des Rauminhaltes in Einschaltstellung, so dass die erwähnte dämpfende Wirkung des im Pumpraum verbleibenden Gaskissens gewährleistet bleibt.In the embodiment shown on the right in FIG. 2, the volume of the pump chamber in the switched-off position is still slightly more than a third of the volume in the switched-on position, so that the aforementioned damping effect of the gas cushion remaining in the pump chamber remains guaranteed.

Die Ausführungsform der Fig. 3 kann gewissermassen als kinematische Umkehrung der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 angesehen werden. Hier ist das Kontaktstück 11 und mit ihm der Zylinder 13 sowie die Blasdüse 15 durch nicht näher dargestellte Mittel ortsfest abgestützt.The embodiment of FIG. 3 can to a certain extent be viewed as a kinematic reversal of the embodiment of FIG. 1. Here, the contact piece 11 and with it the cylinder 13 and the blowing nozzle 15 are supported in a stationary manner by means not shown.

Dagegen sind die den Kolben 17 tragenden Säulen 26 an den Schalterantrieb gekoppelt, der somit den Kolben 17 im Sinne des Doppelpfeiles 27 zwischen der Einschalt-und der Ausschaltstellung bewegt. Das Kontaktstück 22 ist über von diesem abstehende Ausleger 39, Zug- und Schubstangen 40 aus einem Isoliermaterial sowie von den Säulen 26 seitlich abstehende Ausleger 41 fest an die Säulen 26 und damit an den Antrieb gekoppelt. Die Wirkungsweise dieser Ausführungsform entspricht weitgehend der Fig. l, doch ist zu bemerken, dass es bei dieser Ausführungsform möglich ist, die Massen der vom Antrieb zu beschleunigenden und zu bewegenden Teile des Schalters geringer als bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 gehalten werden kann, was wiederum gestattet, die Leistung des Antriebes zu verringern. Auch in Fig. 3 behält der Pumpraum 19 in Ausschaltstellung noch einen erheblichen Rauminhalt bei.In contrast, the columns 26 carrying the piston 17 are coupled to the switch drive, which thus moves the piston 17 in the direction of the double arrow 27 between the switch-on and switch-off positions. The contact piece 22 is fixedly coupled to the columns 26 and thus to the drive by means of arms 39, pulling and pushing rods 40 protruding therefrom made of an insulating material and arms 41 projecting laterally from the columns 26. The mode of operation of this embodiment largely corresponds to FIG. 1, but it should be noted that in this embodiment it is possible to keep the masses of the parts of the switch to be accelerated and moved by the drive smaller than in the embodiment of FIG. 1, which in turn allows the drive power to be reduced. 3, the pump chamber 19 still maintains a considerable volume in the switched-off position.

Die Ausführungsform der Fig. 4 entspricht weitgehend jener der Fig. 3 mit dem Unterschied, dass diese Ausführungsform mit den Mitteln zum Begrenzen des Druckes im Pumpraum 19 ausgestattet ist, wie sie anhand der Fig. 2 rechts beschrieben worden sind. Man erkennt rechts in Fig. 4 wie der Ringkolben 36 gegen die Wirkung der Feder 37 vom Bund 35 an der Hülse 18 verdrängt worden ist, so dass über den Ringspalt zwischen dem Innendurchmesser des Ringkolbens 36 und dem Hals der Hülse 18 und über die Auslässe 38 im Kolben 17 der Pumpraum 19 mit dem übrigen Raum verbunden ist.The embodiment of FIG. 4 largely corresponds to that of FIG. 3 with the difference that this embodiment is equipped with the means for limiting the pressure in the pump chamber 19, as described on the right with reference to FIG. 2. It can be seen on the right in FIG. 4 how the annular piston 36 has been displaced from the collar 35 on the sleeve 18 against the action of the spring 37, so that via the annular gap between the inner diameter of the annular piston 36 and the neck of the sleeve 18 and via the outlets 38 in the piston 17 the pump room 19 is connected to the rest of the room.

Die Ausführungsform der Fig. 5 entspricht im wesentlichen jener der Fig. 4. Die Mittel, die hier zur Begrenzung des Druckes im Pumpraum vorgesehen sind, sind - ähnlich wie in Fig. 2 links - die am Zylinder 13 und / oder am Kolben 17 angebauten Ueberdruckventile 32 bzw. 34, die ihrerseits den Auslass 31 in der Zylinderwand bzw. den Auslass 33 im Kolben 17 freigeben.The embodiment of FIG. 5 corresponds essentially to that of FIG. 4. The means that are provided here for limiting the pressure in the pump chamber are - similar to the one on the left in FIG. 2 - those attached to the cylinder 13 and / or the piston 17 Pressure relief valves 32 and 34, which in turn open the outlet 31 in the cylinder wall and the outlet 33 in the piston 17.

Die Ausführungsform der Fig. 6 gleicht jenen der Fig. 4 und 5, doch sind das hier bewegliche Kontaktstück 22 und der hier ebenfalls bewegliche Kolben 17 zwar an ein und dieselbe Antriebseinheit gekoppelt, jedoch je über verschiedene Gestänge, wie sie beispielsweise in den Fig. 7 bis 9 dargestellt sind.The embodiment of FIG. 6 is the same as that of FIGS. 4 and 5, but the contact piece 22, which is movable here, and the piston 17, which is also movable here, are coupled to one and the same drive unit, but each via different linkages, such as are shown in FIGS. 7 to 9 are shown.

Man erkennt in den Fig. 7 bis 9 die nur schematisch dargestellten, jedoch mit denselben Bezugsziffern wie in Fig. 6 bezeichneten Bestandteile. Ausserdem erkennt man eine ausserhalb eines hier gestrichelt angedeuteten Schaltergehäuses 42 angeordnete Antriebseinheit 43. Von dieser Antriebseinheit 43 geht ein Schwenkhebel 44 aus. An diesen Schwenkhebel 44 ist bei 45 das eine Ende einer Stange 46 angelenkt, die dichtend, jedoch verschiebbar in das Gehäuse 42 eingeführt ist und an ihrem anderen Ende die Säulen 26 trägt, auf denen der Kolben 17 verankert ist. Die mithin dem Kolben 17 zugeordnete Stange 46 steht unter der Wirkung einer in der Fig. 7 gezeigten Einschaltstellung gespannten Druckfeder 47, die bestrebt ist, die Stange 46 und damit auch den Kolben 17 zur Ausführung der bei einem Ausschalthub erforderlichen Bewegung durchführen zu lassen.FIGS. 7 to 9 show the components which are only shown schematically, but with the same reference numerals as in FIG. 6. In addition, one can see a drive unit 43 which is arranged outside a switch housing 42 which is indicated by dashed lines. A pivot lever 44 extends from this drive unit 43. At this pivot lever 44, one end of a rod 46 is articulated at 45, which is inserted sealingly but displaceably into the housing 42 and at its other end carries the columns 26 on which the piston 17 is anchored. The rod 46 associated with the piston 17 is under the action of a compression spring 47 tensioned in the switch-on position shown in FIG. 7, which strives to have the rod 46 and thus also the piston 17 perform the movement required for a switch-off stroke.

Das Kontaktstück 22 ist über einen Ausleger 48 mit dem einen Ende einer weiteren, zur Stange 46 im wesentlichen parallelen Stange 49 verbunden. Auch die Stange 49 steht unter der Wirkung einer in Fig. 7 gespannten Druckfeder und ist dichtend, jedoch verschiebbar aus dem Gehäuse 42 herausgeführt. An ihrem ausserhalb des Gehäuses 42 liegenden Ende ist die Stange 49 mit einem Langloch 51 versehen, in das ein am Ende des Schwenkhebels 44 verankerter Zapfen 52 greift. Ausserdem ist an der Stange 49 ein Sperrzahn 53 befestigt, der mit dem einen Arm einer zweiarmigen, bei 54 schwenkbar gelagerten Sperrklinke 55 zusammenwirkt. Der andere Arm dieser Sperrklinke 55 erstreckt sich in die Nähe der Stange 46, an der ein Auslöseanschlag 56 befestigt ist.The contact piece 22 is connected via a bracket 48 to the one end of a further rod 49 which is essentially parallel to the rod 46. The rod 49 is also under the action of a compression spring tensioned in FIG. 7 and is sealingly but displaceably guided out of the housing 42. At its end lying outside the housing 42, the rod 49 is provided with an elongated hole 51 into which a pin 52 anchored at the end of the pivoting lever 44 engages. In addition, a locking tooth 53 is attached to the rod 49, which interacts with the one arm of a two-armed pawl 55 pivotably mounted at 54. The other arm of this pawl 55 extends near the rod 46 to which a trigger stop 56 is attached.

Für einen Ausschalthub verdreht sich der Schwenkhebel 44 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn, wie mit dem Pfeil in Fig. 8 angegeben. Damit wird zunächst nur die Stange 46 und mit ihr der Kolben 17 bewegt, wodurch das im Pumpraum 19 befindliche Löschgas eine Vorkompression erfährt. Derweil bleibt die Stange 49 und damit auch das bewegliche Kontaktstück durch die Sperrklinke 55 noch arretiert und der Zapfen 52 gleitet im Langloch 51 in Richtung auf den Sperrzahn 53. Sobald die Stellung der Fig. 8 erreicht ist, hebt der Auslöseanschlag 56 an der Stange 46 den zu dieser hin weisenden Arm der Sperrklinge 55 an, die somit im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt wird, bis der andere Arm der Sperrklinke 55 den Sperrzahn 53 an der Stange 49 freigibt. Von diesem Moment an kann sich die Druckfeder 50 ungehindert entspannen, die Stange 49 und damit das Kontaktstück 22 eilen der Bewegung des Schwenkhebels 44 sogar vor: Der Ausschalthub ist in vollem Gange, während der Kolben 17 seine Endstellung praktisch schon erreicht hat. Die Ausschaltstellung ist in Fig. 9 dargestellt. Der Zapfen 52 liegt wieder - wie in Fig. 7 - am Ende des Langloches 51 an. Ausgehend von der in Fig. 9 dargestellten Ausschaltstellung erfolgt dann der Einschalthub, in dem der Schwenkhebel 44 eine Drehung im Uhrzeigersinn ausführt. Dabei werden beide Stangen 46 und 49 gleichzeitig aus dem Gehäuse gezogen, die Druckfedern 47 und 50 gleichzeitig gespannt und der Sperrzahn 53 überfährt den zugeordneten Arm der Sperrklinke 55, bis die Stellung der Fig. 7 wieder erreich ist.For a switch-off stroke, the swivel lever 44 rotates counterclockwise, as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 8. This initially moves only the rod 46 and with it the piston 17, as a result of which the extinguishing gas located in the pump chamber 19 undergoes pre-compression. Meanwhile, the rod 49 and thus also the movable contact piece remains locked by the pawl 55 and the pin 52 slides in the elongated hole 51 in the direction of the locking tooth 53. As soon as the position in FIG. 8 is reached, the trigger stop 56 on the rod 46 rises the arm of the locking blade 55 pointing towards this, which is thus pivoted clockwise until the other arm of the locking pawl 55 releases the locking tooth 53 on the rod 49. From this moment on, the compression spring 50 can relax unhindered, the rod 49 and thus the contact piece 22 even hurry ahead of the movement of the pivoting lever 44: the switch-off stroke is in full swing while the piston 17 has practically reached its end position. The switch-off position is shown in Fig. 9. The Pin 52 is again - as in Fig. 7 - at the end of the elongated hole 51. Starting from the switch-off position shown in FIG. 9, the switch-on stroke then takes place, in which the swivel lever 44 rotates clockwise. Both rods 46 and 49 are pulled out of the housing at the same time, the compression springs 47 and 50 are tensioned at the same time and the locking tooth 53 passes over the associated arm of the pawl 55 until the position in FIG. 7 is reached again.

Auch bei der Ausführungsform der Fig. 6 bzw. 7 bis 9 können zusätzlich Mittel vorgesehen sein, um den Druck im Pumpraum 19 begrenzt zu halten.Also in the embodiment of FIGS. 6 and 7 to 9, additional means can be provided to keep the pressure in the pump chamber 19 limited.
