Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Magnetaus­löser für Fehlerstromschutzschalter mit einem Dauermagne­ten, einer Spule mit Metallkern, einem Joch, einem mittels Federkraft schwenkbaren, auf einem Lagerblech des Jochs ge­lagerten Anker und einem durch diesen Anker betätigbaren Stössel zur Auslösung des Schaltschlosses, wobei das Joch mit dem in die Spule abkragenden Metallkern und der Anker aus einer hochpermeablen Metallegierung mit niedriger Koer­zitivkraft bestehen.The present invention relates to a magnetic release for residual current circuit breakers with a permanent magnet, a coil with a metal core, a yoke, an armature that can be pivoted by spring force and is mounted on a bearing plate of the yoke, and a plunger that can be actuated by this armature to trigger the switching lock, the yoke also the metal core projecting into the coil and the armature are made of a highly permeable metal alloy with a low coercive force.

Fehlerstromschutzschalter, kurz FI-Schutzschalter genannt, sind seit rund dreissig Jahren bekannt. Sie verhüten Elek­tro-Unfälle und Brände in elektrischen Anlagen.Residual current circuit breakers, known as RCCBs for short, have been known for around thirty years. They prevent electrical accidents and fires in electrical systems.

Der FI-Schutzschalter überwacht ständig die elektrische In­stallation und schaltet ab, bevor ein zur Erde abfliessen­der Strom gefährlich werden kann. Ein solcher Strom wird als Fehlerstrom bezeichnet, und bedeutet in jedem Fall eine Gefahr für Menschen, Tiere, Apparate und/oder Objekte.The residual current circuit breaker constantly monitors the electrical installation and switches off before a current flowing to earth can become dangerous. Such a current is referred to as a fault current and in any case means a danger to people, animals, apparatus and / or objects.

In einer fehlerfreien Installation, d.h. wenn kein Fehler­strom zur Erde abgeleitet wird, fliesst der Betriebsstrom vom Netz durch den Summenstromwandler zum Verbraucher und von dort wieder durch den Summenstromwandler zurück zum Netz. Die geometrische Summe der zu- und abfliessenden Ströme im Wandler ist gleich Null (1. Kirchhoff'sches Ge­setz).In an error-free installation, i.e. if no residual current is conducted to earth, the operating current flows from the network through the summation current transformer to the consumer and from there through the summation current transformer back to the network. The geometric sum of the incoming and outgoing currents in the converter is zero (1st Kirchhoff's law).

Wird infolge eines Defektes ein Fehlerstrom zur Erde abge­leitet, ist der zum Verbraucher hinfliessende Strom um die­sen Anteil grösser als der zurückfliessende. Der Differenz­strom induziert im Summenstromwandler ein magnetisches Feld. Dadurch wird in der Sekundärwicklung des Wandlers ein Strom erzeugt, welcher den Magnetauslöser zum Ansprechen und damit den FI-Schutzschalter sofort zur allpoligen Ab­schaltung bringt.If a fault current is diverted to earth as a result of a defect, the current flowing to the consumer is greater by this proportion than the current flowing back. The residual current induces a magnetic field in the total current transformer. This causes a in the secondary winding of the converter Electricity is generated which triggers the magnetic release and thus the FI circuit breaker immediately for all-pole shutdown.

Für das anspruchsvollste Element des FI-Schutzschalters, den Auslöser, wird ein magnetomechanisches Element bevor­zugt. In diesem zieht ein Dauermagnet einen Anker an, so lange die magnetische Kraft grösser ist als die entgegenge­setzt wirkende Kraft, üblicherweise eine Federkraft. Ein in der Sekundärwicklung des Summenstromwandlers erzeugter Strom wird im Magnetauslöser so geführt, dass er den magne­tischen Fluss des Dauermagneten schwächt. Dadurch wird die magnetische Kraft kleiner als die Federkraft, und der Anker reisst ab. Der abfallende Anker wirkt auf den Freilaufme­chanismus des FI-Schutzschalters und öffnet so die Haupt­kontakte. Der erwähnte Freilauf sorgt dafür, dass der FI-­Schutzschalter auch bei festgehaltenem Schaltgriff aus­schalten kann.A magnetomechanical element is preferred for the most demanding element of the RCCB, the release. In this a permanent magnet attracts an armature as long as the magnetic force is greater than the opposing force, usually a spring force. A current generated in the secondary winding of the total current transformer is guided in the magnetic release in such a way that it weakens the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet. As a result, the magnetic force becomes smaller than the spring force and the armature breaks off. The falling anchor acts on the freewheeling mechanism of the RCCB and thus opens the main contacts. The mentioned freewheel ensures that the RCCB can switch off even when the control handle is held.

Der Magnetauslöser verstärkt also den im Summenstromwandler vom Differenzstrom erzeugten schwachen Induktionsstrom und bringt das Schaltschloss zum Auslösen.The magnetic release thus amplifies the weak induction current generated by the residual current in the total current transformer and triggers the switch lock.

Aus der DE-AS 2 000 138 ist ein Magnetauslöser für FI-­Schutzschalter bekannt, es wird jedoch nur ein Pol zur Er­zeugung der Haltekraft benützt. Der Grundkörper des Jochs wird als Nebenschluss eingesetzt. Durch Sättigung einer Zone wird der gewünschte magnetische Widerstand erzeugt. Nachteilig wirkt sich hier aus, dass beim Verstellen des Magneten sich auch der magnetische Widerstand der Sätti­gungszone ändert.From DE-AS 2 000 138 a magnetic release for RCCBs is known, but only one pole is used to generate the holding force. The main body of the yoke is used as a shunt. The desired magnetic resistance is generated by saturating a zone. The disadvantage here is that when the magnet is adjusted, the magnetic resistance of the saturation zone also changes.

Die DE-OS 25 29 221 zeigt einen Magnetauslöser für FI-­Schutzschalter mit einem Klappankersystem, bei welchem der Erregerfluss über die Ankerlagerung fliesst. Bei häufigem Schalten bildet sich dort Abrieb und dadurch ein zusätz­licher Luftspalt, welcher sich ungünstig auf den Erreger­fluss auswirkt.DE-OS 25 29 221 shows a magnetic release for RCCBs with a hinged armature system, in which the excitation flow flows over the armature bearing. With frequent switching there is abrasion and an additional air gap, which has an unfavorable effect on the excitation flow.

Aus der AT-PS 337 812 ist ein Magnetauslöser für FI-Schutz­schalter bekannt, der mit zwei Jochblechen und einer schneidenförmigen Ankerlagerung ausgerüstet ist, wobei der Anker an seiner Lagerung die beiden Jochbleche magnetisch kurzschliesst. Bei häufigem Schalten ändert sich der magne­tische Widerstand dieses Kurzschlusses infolge Abriebs, was zu einer Erhöhung der Auslöseleistung führt.From AT-PS 337 812 a magnetic release for RCCBs is known, which is equipped with two yoke plates and a blade-shaped armature bearing, the armature magnetically short-circuiting the two yoke plates on its bearing. With frequent switching, the magnetic resistance of this short circuit changes as a result of abrasion, which leads to an increase in the tripping power.

Die Erfinder haben sich die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Magnet­auslöser für FI-Schutzschalter zu schaffen, der eine sehr kleine Auslöseleistung benötigt, kleine Abmessungen auf­weist, ein grosses Verhältnis der abgegebenen Auslöselei­stung zur elektrisch aufgenommenen Auslöseleistung erreicht und über eine grosse Schaltzahl eine konstante Auslöselei­stung beibehält.The inventors have set themselves the task of creating a magnetic release for RCCBs that requires a very small tripping power, has small dimensions, achieves a large ratio of the tripping power output to the electrically picked up tripping power and maintains a constant tripping power over a large number of operations.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass
- das Joch aus zwei durch ein magnetisch schlecht leitendes Diaphragma getrennt aneinanderliegenden Jochblechen mit je einer angeformten Auflage für die Ankerlagerung be­steht, wobei einends je eine angeformte Einkoppelungs­stelle für den Dauermagnetfluss ausgebildet ist und an­dernends die Polfläche des einen Jochblechs bzw. des Me­tallkerns in der Spule wie auch die Polfläche des ande­ren, nicht in die Spule hineinragenden Jochblechs mit dem Anker in kontaktschlüssigem Eingriff steht, und
- im Bereich der Schwenkachse des Ankers magnetisch schlecht leitende Zonen ausgebildet sind, welche einen magnetischen Kurzschluss zwischen den beiden Jochblechen verhindern.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that
- The yoke consists of two yoke sheets separated from each other by a magnetically poorly conductive diaphragm, each with a molded support for the armature bearing, one molded-in coupling point for the permanent magnetic flux at one end and the pole face of the one yoke sheet or the metal core in the coil as the other also the pole face of the other yoke sheet not protruding into the coil is in contact with the armature, and
- In the region of the pivot axis of the armature, magnetically poorly conductive zones are formed which prevent a magnetic short circuit between the two yoke plates.

Mit dem erfindungsgemässen Magnetauslöser können kleine, preisgünstige FI-Schutzschalter gebaut werden, weil nicht nur der Magnetauslöser selbst, sondern wegen des grossen Verhältnisses der abgegebenen zur elektrisch aufgenommenen Auslöseleistung auch der Summenstromwandler sehr klein di­ mensioniert werden kann. Weiter benötigt der Magnetauslöser keine Hilfsenergie, deshalb funktioniert die Auslösung auch bei Unterspannung, ja sogar bei Neutralleiterbruch.With the magnetic release according to the invention, small, inexpensive RCCBs can be built, because not only the magnetic release itself, but also very small because of the large ratio of the output power to the electrically absorbed release power can be dimensioned. Furthermore, the magnetic release does not require any auxiliary energy, which is why the release also works in the event of undervoltage, even if the neutral wire breaks.

Zweckmässig werden im Bereich der Ankerlagerung eine oder mehrere magnetisch schlecht leitende Zonen ausgebildet. Diese verhindern, dass in der Nähe der Schwenkachse des An­kers ein magnetischer Kurzschluss zwischen den beiden Joch­blechen stattfindet. Die magnetisch schlecht leitende/n Zone/n kann/können am Joch und/oder am Anker angebracht werden. Diese Zonen mit niedriger Permeabilität verhindern den Kurzschluss des Dauermagnetflusses, was beispielsweise mit einer Anordnung gemäss der FR-OS 2 112 415, Fig. 3, nicht erreicht wird.One or more magnetically poorly conductive zones are expediently formed in the area of the armature bearing. These prevent a magnetic short circuit between the two yoke plates in the vicinity of the pivot axis of the armature. The magnetically poorly conductive zone (s) can be attached to the yoke and / or to the armature. These zones with low permeability prevent the short-circuiting of the permanent magnetic flux, which is not achieved, for example, with an arrangement according to FR-OS 2 112 415, FIG. 3.

In der Praxis haben sich zur Ausbildung magnetisch schlecht leitender Zonen insbesondere zwei verschiedene Wege be­währt:
- Am Joch und/oder am Anker werden mechanische Deformati­onen angebracht, wodurch sich das entsprechende Teilstück in bezug auf seine magnetischen Eigenschaften verschlech­tert.
- Am Joch und/oder am Anker wird eine vorzugsweise metal­lene Zwischenlage mit niedriger Permeabilität angebracht, welche vorzugsweise aus rostfreiem Stahl, beispielsweise Stahl X12CrNi17/7, besteht. Eine auf dem Anker aufge­brachte Zwischenlage aus rostfreiem Stahl ist vorteilhaft als Schneide ausgebildet, weil eine solche Zwischenlage härter und verschleissfester als der übrige Anker ist.In practice, two different approaches have proven particularly useful for the formation of magnetically poorly conductive zones:
- Mechanical deformations are applied to the yoke and / or the armature, as a result of which the corresponding section deteriorates in terms of its magnetic properties.
- A preferably metallic intermediate layer with low permeability is attached to the yoke and / or the armature, which preferably consists of stainless steel, for example steel X12CrNi17 / 7. A stainless steel intermediate layer applied to the anchor is advantageously designed as a cutting edge, because such an intermediate layer is harder and more wear-resistant than the rest of the anchor.

Dem aus einer hochpermeablen Legierung, beispielsweise einer Nickel-Eisen-Legierung, bestehenden Anker kann mit­tels spanloser oder spanabhebender Bearbeitung eine Schnei­de angeformt werden. Die Schneide kann jedoch auch aus einem oder zwei Plättchen, welche am Anker fixiert sind, ausgebildet sein. Diese Plättchen bestehen zweckmässig aus demselben magnetisch schlecht leitenden Material wie die oben erwähnte/n Zwischenschicht/en. Die Plättchen sind also härter und verschleissfester als das Ankermaterial.A cutting edge can be formed on the anchor, which consists of a highly permeable alloy, for example a nickel-iron alloy, by means of non-cutting or machining. However, the cutting edge can also be formed from one or two small plates which are fixed to the anchor. These plates suitably consist of the same magnetically poorly conductive material as that intermediate layer (s) mentioned above. The plates are therefore harder and more wear-resistant than the anchor material.

Die Herstellung des aus zwei Jochblechen aus einer hochper­meablen Legierung, z.B. einer Nickel-Eisen-Legierung, be­stehenden Jochs, erlaubt eine überraschende Vergrösserung des Verhältnisses der abgegebenen zur elektrisch aufge­nommenen Auslöseleistung. Die beiden flächig aneinanderlie­genden, ungleich lang ausgebildeten Jochbleche werden durch ein magnetisch schlecht leitendes Diaphragma getrennt, wel­ches einen definierten magnetischen Nebenschluss zum Anker erzeugt. Das Diaphragma besteht beispielsweise aus einem Blech bzw. einer Folie, insbesondere aus Glimmer, Kupfer oder einer Kupferlegierung. Ein aus einem Feststoff beste­hendes Diaphragma kann weiter eine Oberflächenbeschichtung sein, die auf mindestens eines der Jochbleche aufgebracht ist und beispielsweise aus chemisch abgeschiedenem Nickel oder Kupfer besteht. Das Diaphragma kann aber auch durch einen Luftspalt gebildet sein, indem die beiden Jochbleche in Abstand voneinander gehaltert werden.The production of the from two high-permeability alloy yoke sheets, e.g. a nickel-iron alloy, existing yokes, allows a surprising increase in the ratio of the emitted to the electrically absorbed release power. The two flat yoke plates, which lie flat against one another and are of unequal length, are separated by a magnetically poorly conductive diaphragm, which creates a defined magnetic shunt to the armature. The diaphragm consists, for example, of a sheet metal or a film, in particular of mica, copper or a copper alloy. A diaphragm consisting of a solid can also be a surface coating which is applied to at least one of the yoke sheets and consists, for example, of chemically deposited nickel or copper. However, the diaphragm can also be formed by an air gap in that the two yoke sheets are held at a distance from one another.

Die auf einer Seite jeden Jochblechs angeformte Einkoppe­lungsstelle für den Dauermagnetfluss entspricht der geome­trischen Form des Dauermagneten, sie ist also vorzugsweise rund oder flach ausgebildet.The coupling point for the permanent magnetic flux formed on one side of each yoke plate corresponds to the geometric shape of the permanent magnet, so it is preferably round or flat.

Der Dauermagnet besteht aus einem Magnetwerkstoff mit mög­lichst grosser Koerzitivkraft und mittlerer Remanenz. Diese Eigenschaften besitzen beispielsweise Ferrite, Aluminium-­Nickel-Eisen- und Aluminium-Nickel-Kobalt-Eisenlegierungen. Ein zylindrisch ausgebildeter Dauermagnet ist zweckmässig senkrecht zu seiner Achse magnetisiert und um diese drehbar im Joch verankert. Der auf das Joch einwirkende Magnetfluss kann in diesem Fall durch Drehen des Dauermagneten einge­stellt werden.The permanent magnet consists of a magnetic material with the greatest possible coercive force and medium remanence. These properties have, for example, ferrites, aluminum-nickel-iron and aluminum-nickel-cobalt-iron alloys. A cylindrical permanent magnet is expediently magnetized perpendicular to its axis and anchored about it in the yoke. In this case, the magnetic flux acting on the yoke can be adjusted by turning the permanent magnet.

Ein quaderförmig ausgebildeter Dauermagnet ist zweckmässig in Quer- und/oder in Längsrichtung des Jochs, innerhalb der angeformten, flach ausgebildeten Einkoppelungsstelle, ver­schiebbar. Die Magnetisierung erfolgt derart, dass die bei­den Polflächen im Kontaktbereich zur angeformten Einkoppe­lungsstelle liegen. Die Einstellung des auf das Joch ein­wirkenden Magnetflusses erfolgt durch das Verschieben aus dem Bereich der Einkoppelungsstelle der Jochbleche hinaus.A cuboid permanent magnet is expediently displaceable in the transverse and / or in the longitudinal direction of the yoke, within the integrally formed, flat coupling point. The magnetization takes place in such a way that the two pole faces lie in the contact area to the integrally formed coupling point. The magnetic flux acting on the yoke is adjusted by moving it out of the area of the coupling point of the yoke plates.

Die Feder zur Erzeugung der Auslösekraft ist vorzugsweise als Schraubenzugfeder ausgebildet. Dabei weicht die Zug­richtung zweckmässig etwas von der Längsrichtung des Jochs ab, damit eine Querkraft zur eindeutigen Positionierung des Ankers am Lagerblech entsteht. Die Abweichung von der Längsrichtung des Jochs bzw. der Jochbleche beträgt minde­stens einige Winkelgrade.The spring for generating the release force is preferably designed as a helical tension spring. The direction of pull expediently deviates somewhat from the longitudinal direction of the yoke, so that a transverse force arises for the clear positioning of the armature on the bearing plate. The deviation from the longitudinal direction of the yoke or the yoke sheets is at least a few angular degrees.

Die Spule mit der Erregerwicklung, welche den aus dem Dif­ferenzstrom induzierten Strom des Summenstromwandlers führt, ist bevorzugt auf den als Abkragung des längeren Jochblechs ausgebildeten Metallkern aufsteckbar.The coil with the excitation winding, which carries the current of the summation current transformer induced from the differential current, can preferably be plugged onto the metal core designed as a projection of the longer yoke plate.

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Magnetauslöser eines FI-Schutz­schalters ist auf einem Gehäuseteil 10 montiert. Das Joch 12 (Fig. 2) besteht im wesentlichen aus einem kürzeren vorderen Jochblech 14 und einem hinteren längeren Jochblech 16. Eine vertikale Ausragung des längeren Jochblechs 16 bildet den Metallkern 18 für die aufsteckbare Spule 20 mit der stilisiert dargestellten Erregerwindung. Der zylin­drische Dauermagnet 22 ist um seine Achse A drehbar. Für die Anbringung des Drehmoments zur Positionierung des Dau­ermagneten dient der Schraubenschlitz 24. Der Dauermagnet 22 wird grösstenteils von zwei in Abstand angeordneten, an die Jochbleche 14,16 angeformten Einkoppelungsstellen 26 umgeben. Das die Jochbleche trennende Diaphragma 48 ist nur teilweise sichtbar.The magnetic release of a residual current circuit breaker shown in FIG. 1 is mounted on a housing part 10. The yoke 12 (FIG. 2) essentially consists of a shorter front yoke plate 14 and a rear longer yoke plate 16. A vertical protrusion of the longer yoke plate 16 forms the metal core 18 for the plug-on coil 20 with the excitation winding shown in a stylized manner. The cylindrical permanent magnet 22 is rotatable about its axis A. The screw slot 24 is used to apply the torque for positioning the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet 22 is largely surrounded by two coupling points 26 arranged at a distance and molded onto the yoke plates 14, 16. The diaphragm 48 separating the yoke sheets is only partially visible.

Der Anker 28 liegt magnetisch leitend auf der Polfläche 30 des Metallkerns 18, welcher Bestandteil des längeren Joch­blechs 16 ist, und der Polfläche 32 des kürzeren Jochblechs 14.The armature 28 is magnetically conductive on the pole face 30 of the metal core 18, which is part of the longer yoke plate 16, and the pole face 32 of the shorter yoke plate 14.

An beiden Jochblechen 14,16 is ein Lagerblech 34 für den Anker 28, welcher im vorliegenden Fall mit einem Plättchen 36 ausgerüstet ist, befestigt. Der Anker lagert im Bereich der Schwenkachse B ebenfalls auf einer eigens angeformten Auflage 38 (Fig. 2).A bearing plate 34 for the armature 28, which in the present case is equipped with a plate 36, is fastened to both yoke plates 14, 16. The armature is also supported in the region of the pivot axis B on a specially formed support 38 (FIG. 2).

Rechtwinklig vom Anker 28 kragt ein Ansatz 40 ab, welcher plättchenförmig ausgebildet ist. Daran angehängt ist eine Schraubenzugfeder 42, welche andernends mit einem festen Stützpunkt 44 des nicht dargestellten Gehäuses verbunden ist.A shoulder 40 protrudes from the anchor 28 at right angles and is plate-shaped. Attached to this is a helical tension spring 42, which is connected at the other end to a fixed support point 44 of the housing, not shown.

Im Bereich oberhalb der Spule 20 liegt ein eine Führung 46 durchgreifender Stössel 47 auf dem Anker 28 auf. Falls in der Spule 20 ein die Wirkung des Dauermagneten 22 vermin­dernder Induktionsstrom auftritt, hebt die Schraubenzugfe­der 42 den Anker 28 ab und der Stössel 47 wirkt auf das nicht dargestellt Schaltschloss ein.In the area above the coil 20, a plunger 47 penetrating a guide 46 rests on the armature 28. If in the coil 20 an induction current reducing the effect of the permanent magnet 22 occurs, the coil spring 42 lifts the armature 28 and the plunger 47 acts on the switch lock, not shown.

Eine Fig. 1 im wesentlichen entsprechende Ausführungform ist, jedoch ohne Anker, in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Besonders gut ersichtlich sind hier das aus den Jochblechen 14 und 16 bestehende Joch 12 mit den Polflächen 30 und 32, den ange­formten Auflagen 38 für die Ankerlagerung und den rund aus­gebildeten, an die Jochbleche angeformten Einkoppelungs­stellen 26 für den Dauermagnetfluss. Der zylindrische Dau­ermagnet 22 ist senkrecht zur Achse A (Fig. 1) magneti­siert was mit den Polen N und S dargestellt ist.An embodiment substantially corresponding to FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2, but without an anchor. The yoke 12 consisting of the yoke plates 14 and 16 with the pole faces 30 and 32, the integrally formed supports 38 for the armature bearing and the round coupling points 26 formed on the yoke plates for the permanent magnetic flux can be seen particularly well here. The cylindrical permanent magnet 22 is magnetized perpendicular to the axis A (FIG. 1), which is shown with the poles N and S.

Zwischen den Jochblechen 14,16 ist ein magnetisch schlecht leitendes Diaphragma 48 angeordnet.A magnetically poorly conductive diaphragm 48 is arranged between the yoke sheets 14, 16.

In der Ausführungsvariante nach Fig. 3 ist der Dauermagnet 22 quaderförmig ausgebildet. Entsprechend sind die an die Jochbleche 14,16 angeformten Einkoppelungsstellen 26 flach gestaltet, sodass der Dauermagnet 22 sowohl in Längsrich­tung L der Jochbleche 30,32 als auch in deren Querrichtung bzw. Höhe H (Fig. 1) verschoben werden kann.3, the permanent magnet 22 is cuboid. Correspondingly, the coupling points 26 formed on the yoke plates 14, 16 are designed flat, so that the permanent magnet 22 can be displaced both in the longitudinal direction L of the yoke plates 30, 32 and in their transverse direction or height H (FIG. 1).

Der Dauermagnet 22 ist einteilig oder - in bezug auf seine Längsachse - zweiteilig ausgebildet. Bei einem zylinderför­migen Dauermagneten können dessen bevorzugt ungleich grosse Teilstücke um die Achse A gegeneinander gedreht werden, wo­bei ein Teilstück ortsfest, das andere frei drehbar sein kann. Das ortsfeste Teilstück ist vorzugsweise grösser aus­gebildet als das drehbare.The permanent magnet 22 is formed in one part or - in relation to its longitudinal axis - in two parts. In the case of a cylindrical permanent magnet, its preferably unequal sections can be rotated relative to one another about the axis A, one section being stationary and the other being freely rotatable. The fixed section is preferably larger than the rotatable.

Auch quaderförmige Dauermagnete 22 können in zwei Teilstük­ke getrennt werden. Diese Teilstücke können zwischen den Einkoppelungsstellen 26 gegeneinander verschoben werden, wobei wiederum ein Teilstück ortsfest, das andere beweglich sein kann.Cuboid permanent magnets 22 can also be separated into two parts. These sections can be shifted against each other between the coupling points 26, with one section again being stationary, the other being movable.

In Fig. 4 verdeckt der Anker 28 einen Teil der Jochbleche 14,16. Der auf die angeformten Einkoppelungsstellen 26 ein­wirkende Dauermagnet ist einfachheitshalber nicht darge­stellt. Die Schraubenzugfeder 42 zieht den Anker 28 stirn­seitig an das beidseitig abgewinkelte Lagerblech 34. Da die Schraubenzugfeder 42 ihre Kraft nicht in Längsrichtung L der Jochbleche 14,16 ausübt, sondern in einer um den Winkel α abweichenden Richtung, wird der Anker 28 seitlich ent­lang des Lagerblechs 34 verschoben, bis er an der Abwinke­lung anschlägt. Der Winkel α liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich von 5-30°.4, the armature 28 covers part of the yoke plates 14, 16. The permanent magnet acting on the integrally formed coupling points 26 is not shown for the sake of simplicity. The helical tension spring 42 pulls the armature 28 on the end face against the bearing plate 34 which is angled on both sides. Since the helical tension spring 42 does not exert its force in the longitudinal direction L of the yoke plates 14, 16, but in a direction deviating by the angle α, the armature 28 becomes laterally along the bearing plate 34 moved until it hits the bend. The angle α is preferably in the range of 5-30 °.

Die Fig. 5 und 6 illustrieren die der Verschlechterung der magnetischen Leitfähigkeit dienende mechanische Deformation an den Stellen 50 der Jochbleche 14,16 bzw. des Ankers 28.5 and 6 illustrate the mechanical deformation at the points 50 of the yoke plates 14, 16 and of the armature 28, which serves to degrade the magnetic conductivity.

In Fig. 7 sind Teile des Magnetauslösers mit geöffnetem An­ker 28 dargestellt. Unter Einwirkung der Schraubenzugfeder 42 wird der Anker 28 samt dem daraufliegenden Stössel 47 angehoben und damit ein Stromunterbruch ausgelöst.7 shows parts of the magnetic release with the armature 28 open. Under the action of the helical tension spring 42, the armature 28 together with the plunger 47 lying thereon is raised and thus a current interruption is triggered.

Die Schneide 52 des Ankers 28 liegt auf einer magnetisch schlecht leitenden, auf der Auflage 38 der Jochbleche 14,16 angeordneten Zwischenlage 54 und stösst gegen das Lager­blech 34.The cutting edge 52 of the armature 28 lies on a magnetically poorly conductive intermediate layer 54 arranged on the support 38 of the yoke plates 14, 16 and abuts against the bearing plate 34.

In Fig. 8 ist das in Richtung des Lagers weisende Ende des Ankers 28 mit einer angeformten Schneide 52 dargestellt. Dadurch wird das Schwenken um die Schwenkachse B erleich­tert.8 shows the end of the armature 28 pointing in the direction of the bearing with an integrally formed cutting edge 52. This makes pivoting around pivot axis B easier.

Fig. 9 zeigt dasselbe Ende mit der Schwenkachse B eines An­kers 28, aber mit eingesetztem Plättchen 36 aus magnetisch schlecht leitendem Material, welches die Schneide 52 bil­det. Die Unterseite des Plättchens 36 und die Polfläche 56 des Ankers 28 bilden eine Ebene.FIG. 9 shows the same end with the pivot axis B of an armature 28, but with an inserted plate 36 made of magnetically poorly conductive material, which forms the cutting edge 52. The underside of the plate 36 and the pole face 56 of the armature 28 form a plane.
