In a device for mains-operated switch timers with electric, battery-operated running reserve for electrically and adjustably setting on the running reserve battery for the mains-operated energy supply of the switch timer motor, the present invention provides in the circuit (1) of the running reserve battery (2) an electromechanical time delay device (3).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für netzbetriebene Schaltuhren mit elektrischer, batteriebetriebener Gangreserve, zur steuerbaren elektrischen Zuschaltung der Gangreserve-Batterie zur netzbetriebenen Energieversorgung des Antriebs der Schaltuhr.The invention relates to a device for mains-operated time switches with electrical, battery-operated power reserve, for controllable electrical connection of the power reserve battery for mains-operated energy supply to the drive of the time switch.

Bei derartigen Schaltuhren, insbesondere mit einem quarzgesteuerten Antrieb ist es erforderlich, dass die Gangreserve zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Zuschaltung zur Energieversorgung des Antriebs der Schaltuhr die volle, ihr zugemessene energetische Kapazität aufweist.In such time switches, in particular with a quartz-controlled drive, it is necessary for the power reserve to have the full energetic capacity assigned to it for the energy supply of the drive of the time switch when it is switched on.

Bei bekanntgewordenen derartigen Schaltuhren liegt die Gangreserve-Batterie elektrisch unmittelbar parallel zur netzbetriebenen Energieversorgung der Schaltuhr und liefert dem dortigen Antriebssystem elektrische Energie wann immer die Energieversorgung aus dem Netz fehlt. D.h. es wird dort fortlaufend insbesondere auch während der Lagerzeit oder der Transportzeit zwischen Hersteller und Kunden unnötigerweise Energie aus der Gangreserve-Batterie entnommen. Dies ist auch der Fall, wenn derartige Uhren nach ihrer Installation beim Kunden einen längeren Probelauf oder einer Anlagenprüfung ausgesetzt werden.In the case of such time switches that have become known, the power reserve battery is electrically directly parallel to the mains-operated energy supply of the time switch and supplies the drive system there with electrical energy whenever the energy supply from the mains is missing. I.e. There is continuously unnecessary energy drawn from the power reserve battery, especially during the storage period or the transport time between the manufacturer and the customer. This is also the case if such clocks are subjected to a long trial run or a system test after they have been installed by the customer.

In jedem Falle wird dadurch bei den bekannten derartigen Schaltuhren die Kapazität der Gangreserve-Batterie erheblich beeinträchtigt, indem die dort verwendeten Akkumulatoren vielfach tief entladen werden, so dass zum Zeitpunkt der eigentlichen Inbetriebnahme einer solchen Schaltuhr die volle, der Uhr vom Hersteller zugemessene, Gangreserve nicht gleich oder nicht mehrje nach Batteriesystem-zur Verfügung steht.In any case, in the known time switches of this type, the capacity of the power reserve battery is considerably impaired by the fact that the accumulators used there are often deeply discharged, so that at the time when such a time switch is actually put into operation, the full power reserve assigned to the clock by the manufacturer is not immediately or no longer depending on the battery system.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Schaltuhren der vorstehend genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern und sie mit einer einfachen Vorrichtung zu versehen, die gewährleistet und es ermöglicht, dass zum Zeitpunkt der eigentlichen Inbetriebnahme einer Schaltuhr oder zeitlich unwesentlich danach eine kapazitätsmässig elektrisch volle Gangreserve-Batterie der netzbetriebenen Energieversorgung des Antriebs der Schaltuhr zugeschaltet werden kann. Dabei soll sichergestellt sein, dass der Zeitpunkt, der Zuschaltung der Gangreserve-Batterie, bezogen auf den Zeitpunkt, an dem eine Schaltuhr erstmalig in Betrieb gesetzt wurde, vorwählbar ist.The invention has for its object to improve timers of the type mentioned above and to provide them with a simple device that ensures and makes it possible that at the time of the actual commissioning of a timer or irrelevant in time thereafter an electrically full power reserve battery mains-operated energy supply of the drive of the time switch can be switched on. It should be ensured that the point in time at which the power reserve battery is switched on can be preselected in relation to the point in time at which a time switch was put into operation for the first time.

Diese Erfindung wird aufgabengemäss mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Ausgestaltungen sind den abhängigen Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.This invention is achieved in accordance with the features of claim 1. Refinements can be found in the dependent claims.

Zweckmässigerweise ist dort eine elektromechanische Zeitverzögerungsvorrichtung vorgesehen, die insbesondere unmittelbar vom Antrieb der Schaltuhr gesteuert ist und die, nach einer bestimmten netzbetriebenen Betriebszeit ausgelöst, die Gangreserve-Batterie der netzbetriebenen Energieversorgung des Antriebs zuschaltet. Dies kann mit einem elektrischen Kontakt im Stromkreis der Gangreserve-Batterie erzielt werden, der von einem Schaltnocken, insbesondere auf der Schaltscheibe der Schaltuhr, gesteuert ist, und der zeitlich programmierbar ist, sodass dadurch der Zeitpunkt der Zuschaltung der Gangreserve-Batterie zur netzbetriebenen Energieversorgung des Antriebs der Schaltuhr zweckmässig, den Erfordernissen entsprechend, eingestellt werden kann. Dabei ist sichergestellt, dass auch längere funktionslose Lagerzeiten - insbesondere ohne Netzbetrieb oder längere Probelaufzeiten - keinen Einfluss auf die Kapazität einer elektrischen vollen Gangreserve-Batterie hat.An electromechanical time delay device is expediently provided there, which is in particular controlled directly by the drive of the time switch and which, triggered after a certain mains-operated operating time, connects the power reserve battery to the mains-operated energy supply of the drive. This can be achieved with an electrical contact in the circuit of the power reserve battery, which is controlled by a switch cam, in particular on the switching disk of the time switch, and which is programmable in time, so that the time when the power reserve battery is switched on for the mains-operated energy supply of the Drive of the timer can be set appropriately, according to the requirements. This ensures that even long non-functional storage times - especially without mains operation or longer trial runs - have no influence on the capacity of an electric full power reserve battery.

Vorteilhaft bei dieser Vorrichtung für Schaltuhren ist nicht nur, dass zum Zeitpunkt der eigentlichen Aufnahme der zeithaltenden Steuerungsfunktion einer Schaltuhr eine kapazitätsmässig elektrisch volle Gangreserve-Batterie, zeitlich vorwählbar, selbsttätig zugeschaltet wird, sondern dass es dadurch auch ermöglicht wird, wirtschaftliche Primärelemente als Gangreserve-Batterien im Vergleich zu nachladbaren Akkumulatoren zu verwenden, ohne dabei Gefahr laufen zu müssen, dass diese, wie auch die bisher verwendeten nachladbaren Akkumulatoren, zum Zeitpunkt der eigentlichen Aufnahme des Betriebs der Schaltuhr entladen oder gar unbrauchbar sind.The advantage of this device for time switches is not only that when the time-keeping control function of a time switch is actually started, a capacity reserve battery that is electrically full in terms of capacity, can be preselected, is automatically switched on, but that it also enables economical primary elements as power reserve batteries to use in comparison to rechargeable batteries without having to run the risk that they, like the rechargeable batteries used previously, are discharged or even unusable when the time switch is actually started.

Diese elektromechanische Zeitverzögerungsvorrichtung 3 ist mit einem Zeitschalter oder einem Zeitrelais vergleichbar, deren Einschaltzeit insbesondere vorwählbar ist. Damit ist es möglich, die Gangreserve-Batterie 2 erst nach einem gewissen Zeitraum der Laufdauer einer solchen Schaltuhr am Netz, von ca. 100 Stunden, zuzuschalten, um dadurch sicherzustellen, dass auch nach einer längeren Lager- oder Transportzeit, oder nach einer länger dauernden Probelaufzeit am Netz, die vorgesehene Gangreserve-Batterie 2 mit der eigentlichen Inbetriebnahme der Schaltuhr ihre volle elektrische Kapazität besitzt und nicht, wie dies bei den eingangs genannten bekannten Schaltuhren mit Gangreserve der Fall ist, dass die Gangreserve-Batterie mit der eigentlichen Inbetriebnahme vielfach in ihrer Kapazität beeinträchtigt oder völlig entladen ist.This electromechanical time delay device 3 is comparable to a time switch or a time relay, the switch-on time of which can in particular be preselected. This makes it possible to switch on the power reserve battery 2 only after a certain period of time of such a time switch on the network, of about 100 hours, in order to ensure that even after a longer storage or transport time, or after a longer period Test run on the network, the planned power reserve battery 2 with the actual commissioning of the switch The clock has its full electrical capacity and not, as is the case with the known time switches with a power reserve mentioned at the beginning, that the power reserve battery is often impaired in its capacity or is completely discharged when it is actually started up.
