Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for remote control of an electrical switch or the like, as specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from US-A-4 419 549.
  • the switch and the internal actuating device assigned to it are located in a control cabinet provided with a front door.
  • a housing of the main control device is attached to the front of the control cabinet next to the opening side of the control cabinet door and carries the outer handle.
  • the lever mechanism is arranged in the housing of the main actuating device and extends through the front of the control cabinet into the interior of the control cabinet.
  • the flexible transmission link leads to the inner actuating device, which has a rotatably mounted part for switching the switch on and off.
  • the flexible transmission member allows the main actuator and the inner actuator to be arranged without a rigid spatial relationship.
  • a device for actuating a handle of a switch designed as a rocker is already known.
  • This device consists of a base plate connected to the switch and a displaceable on the base plate Carriage designed to take the handle with you.
  • a device for remote control of the carriage is not provided (US-A-3 358 094).
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned in such a way that by means of only one outer main actuating device either a further switch or a locking device for a door of a housing containing the switch can be actuated, the spatial assignment between the main actuating device and the other Switch or the locking device can be selected independently within wide limits.
  • the object is achieved by the training specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • a main operating device is generally designated 10, which is arranged on a wall 12.
  • the wall 12 can belong to a conventional sheet metal housing, for example a control cabinet or the like containing electrical devices.
  • the main actuating device 10 has a stationary part 14, a lever gear 16 and an outer handle 18.
  • a flexible tension / compression element 20 of a device for transmitting longitudinal movements is attached to an arm of the lever mechanism 16 by a suitable element 24.
  • a guide sleeve 21 belonging to the transmission member for the tension / compression element 20 is fixed to a stationary part of the main actuating device by means of a clamp 26.
  • the transmission element 20, 21 extends to an electrical apparatus 32 which is arranged at any spatial distance from the main actuating device 10, for example an encapsulated electrical power switch which is a Handle formed actuator 34 with which the switch 32 can be switched on or off or reset when it has been switched.
  • an electrical apparatus 32 which is arranged at any spatial distance from the main actuating device 10, for example an encapsulated electrical power switch which is a Handle formed actuator 34 with which the switch 32 can be switched on or off or reset when it has been switched.
  • An inner actuating device is designated as a whole by 36 and has a stationary part 38 which is fastened to the encapsulation of the switch 32 by means of screws 40, 42.
  • a slide 44 is arranged displaceably by means of rivets 46, 48.
  • the carriage 44 encompasses the actuating member 34 in a lateral opening, so that it is actuated for a switching operation when the carriage 44 moves up and down in accordance with its own type of movement.
  • the guide sleeve 21 of the transmission element is fastened to a lip 39 at the lower end of the fixed part 38 of the inner actuating device 36.
  • the associated end of the tension / compression element 20 engages on a lip 45 of the carriage 44 corresponding to the lip 39 of the fixed part 38.
  • FIG. 2 has the same design as the device according to FIG. 1, and additionally has a locking device which is coupled to the inner actuating device 36 by a further transmission device. Parts corresponding to FIG. 1 have the same reference numerals in FIG. 2.
  • the stationary part of the inner actuating device 36 is provided with an elongated lip 39, to which a guide sleeve 30 of the further transmission devices is attached.
  • the slide 44 of the inner actuating device 36 is provided with an extended lip 45 corresponding to the lip 39, to which a flexible tension / compression element 22 of the further transmission member is fastened by means of a screw connection, as shown.
  • the carriage 44 takes with it the associated end of the push-pull element 22, which moves downwards at its other end.
  • the pull-pressure element 22 pivots a bolt 60 clockwise during this upward movement, so that its free end 61 engages as a male part in a counter element 50 designed as a female part, which is firmly connected to the door 52.
  • the engagement prevents the door 52 from opening when the switch 32 is now switched on.
  • the latch 60 releases the door 52 when the switch 32 is switched off by a downward movement of the slide 44.
  • FIG. 3 also has the on the basis of Fig. 1 explained basic design. If there is agreement, the same reference numerals are used as in Fig. 1.
  • a tension / compression element 23 of a further transmission device is attached to the lever mechanism 16.
  • the free end of the guide sleeve 31 of the further transmission member is fastened to a fixed holder 54 by means of a screw connection 58.
  • the holder 54 is in turn fastened to a frame or a stand of the control cabinet and arranged adjacent to a control cabinet door which, like the control cabinet door in FIG. 2, bears the reference symbol 52.
  • a counter element is arranged on the door 52 in FIG. 3, which is the same as the counter element according to FIG. 2 and is therefore provided with the same reference number 50 as this.
  • switch 32 When switch 32 is to be turned on, door 52 is closed. In this position, a recess in the counter-element 50 is aligned with the associated end 27 of the pull-pressure element 23.
  • the lever mechanism 16 presses the two fastened to it Train-pressure elements 20, 23 down.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from the device according to FIG. 1 in that a further switch 62 is provided in addition to the switch 32.
  • the two switches 32, 62 are coupled by a further transmission element, which has a tension / compression element 63 and a guide sleeve 64 surrounding it.
  • the switch 62 is preferably provided with an actuating device which is the same as the inner actuating device 32 and which bears the reference number 66.
  • the pull-pressure element 63 of the transmission member 63, 64 is attached at one end to the corresponding lip 45 of the carriage 44.
  • the associated end of the guide sleeve 64 is fixed on the lip 39.
  • the ends of the transmission element 63, 64 assigned to the switch 62 are fastened to the actuating device belonging to the switch 62 in the same way as the transmission element 20, 21 to the inner actuating device 36 according to FIG. 1.
  • the disclosed system enables remote actuation of at least one arranged in a control cabinet or the like Switch from a largely freely selectable point and also enables a largely largely variable arrangement of the switch in the control cabinet. In addition, a largely arbitrary local arrangement of a lock dependent on the switch is made possible in the control cabinet.
