Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen handbetätigten Schutzschalter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a manually operated circuit breaker according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Schutzschalter sind bekannt als Motorschutzschalter, die in ihrem Auslöseverhalten (bis zum 12-fachen Anlaufstrom) auf den zu schützenden Elektromotor abgestimmt sind, oder als Leitungsschutzschalter zum Schutz von elektrischen Leitungen oder Anlagen gegen thermische Überlastung oder Kurzschlußschäden dienen. Das Auslöseverhalten und damit der Einsatz derartiger Schutzschalter werden bestimmt von den thermischen und den Kurzschluß-Auslösewerten.Such circuit breakers are known as motor circuit breakers, the triggering behavior (up to 12 times the starting current) are matched to the electric motor to be protected, or as circuit breakers to protect electrical lines or systems against thermal overload or short circuit damage. The tripping behavior and thus the use of such circuit breakers are determined by the thermal and short-circuit tripping values.

Bei einem derartigen bekannten Motorschutzschalter mit auswechselbarem Überstrom-Auslöserblock (CH-PS 319 019) soll eine besonders platzsparende Bauweise dadurch erzielt werden, daß die Ausziehrichtung des Auslöserblockes einen Winkel von wenigstens 10° mit der Senkrechten auf die Schalterbefestigungsebene bildet. Diese Anordnung soll neben der bequemen Austauschbarkeit des Auslöserblockes auch eine leichte Kontrolle der Kontakte, deren einzelne Teile in einfacher Weise ersetzt werden können, ermöglichen.In such a known motor protection switch with interchangeable overcurrent release block (CH-PS 319 019), a particularly space-saving design is to be achieved in that the direction of extraction of the release block forms an angle of at least 10 ° with the perpendicular to the switch mounting level. In addition to the easy interchangeability of the trigger block, this arrangement should also make it easy to check the contacts, the individual parts of which can be replaced in a simple manner.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen handbetätigten Schutzschalter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 so auszubilden, daß neben einer einfachen Handhabung auch eine sichere Festlegung des Auslöserblockes bei eingeschaltetem Schutzschalter gewährleistet ist und der Auslöserblock auch nur bei ausgeschaltetem Schutzschalter abgezogen werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a manually operated circuit breaker according to the preamble of claim 1 so that in addition to simple handling also a safe definition of the trigger block is guaranteed when the circuit breaker is switched on and the trigger block can only be removed when the circuit breaker is switched off.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung im wesentlichen durch den Kennzeichnungsteil des Anspruches 1 gelöst, während in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 12 besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung gekennzeichnet sind.This object is achieved according to the invention essentially by the characterizing part of claim 1, while particularly advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in claims 2 to 12.

Der erfindungsgemäße handbetätigte Schutzschalter hat den Vorteil eines steckbaren, ohne besondere Maßnahmen austauschbaren Auslöserblockes, mit dem ein Schalter selbst "vor Ort" noch auf den Einsatz abgestimmt oder, falls erforderlich, in seinen Werten verändert werden kann. Gleichzeitig kann bei Arbeiten an der elektrischen Anlage oder an dem geschützten Elektromotor der Auslöserblock als sichtbare Trennstelle gezogen werden, so daß der Leitungszug sicher unterbrochen ist. Hierbei ist es wichtig, daß die Öffnungen für die Steckkontakte fingersicher ausgeführt und damit gegen unbeabsichtigtes Berühren gesichert sind.The manually operated circuit breaker according to the invention has the advantage of a plug-in trigger block which can be exchanged without any special measures and with which a switch can be matched to the application "on site" or, if necessary, its values can be changed. At the same time, the release block can be pulled as a visible disconnection point when working on the electrical system or on the protected electric motor, so that the cable run is safely interrupted. It is important that the openings for the plug contacts are finger-safe and thus secured against unintentional contact.

Zur einfachen Handhabung weist der Auslöserblock eine schwenkbare Sicherheitsklappe mit einem fensterartigen Ausschnitt für den Handbedienungsknebel des Schutzschalters auf, die einerseits als Handgriff verwendet werden kann. Andererseits wird diese Sicherheitsklappe im eingeschalteten Zustand durch das Bedienungsorgan des Schutzschalters, nämlich durch den Handbedienungsknebel, blokkiert. Dadurch kann der Auslöserblock nicht in eingeschaltetem Zustand aus der Schalterkombination herausgezogen werden.For easy handling, the trigger block has a pivotable safety flap with a window-like cutout for the manual control knob of the circuit breaker, which can be used on the one hand as a handle. On the other hand, this safety flap is blocked in the switched-on state by the operating element of the circuit breaker, namely by the manual control knob. As a result, the trigger block cannot be pulled out of the switch combination when it is switched on.

Der Auslöserblock weist in Verbindung mit der Sicherheitsklappe weitere Vorteile auf:

  • 1. Plombierbarkeit:
    Der Schalter hat eine Plombieröse, die durch eine Öffnung der Sicherheitsklappe ragt und diese nach Plombierung sperrt.
  • 2. Abschließbarkeit des Bedienungsorgans:
    Der Sperrschieber des Bedienungsknebels läßt sich in der AUS-Stellung des Schutzschalters so verschieben, daß einerseits eine Einhängeöffnung für ein Bügelschloß frei wird, und andererseits läßt sich der Sperrschieber über einen Nocken bzw. über eine Sperrnase an der Frontseite des Schutzschalters schieben, so daß der Handbedienungsknebel in der durch das Bügelschloß gesicherten Sperrstellung nicht mehr drehbar ist.
  • 3. Verstellschutz:
    In der Sicherheitsklappe sind fensterartige Öffnungen vorgesehen, durch die die verstellbaren Auslöseskalen für den Überlast- und den Kurzschlußauslöser sichtbar sind. In diese fensterartigen Öffnungen ragen seitliche Verstellschutznasen hinein, die den Schraubendreher-Schlitz der Auslöserskalen verdecken und damit eine unerwünschte Verstellung der Skalen verhindern.
The trigger block has further advantages in connection with the safety flap:
  • 1. Sealability:
    The switch has a sealing eyelet that protrudes through an opening in the safety flap and locks it after sealing.
  • 2. Lockability of the control unit:
    The locking slide of the control knob can be moved in the OFF position of the circuit breaker so that on the one hand a hanging opening for a padlock is free, and on the other hand the locking slide can be pushed over a cam or over a locking lug on the front of the circuit breaker, so that the Manual control knob can no longer be rotated in the locked position secured by the padlock.
  • 3. Adjustment protection:
    Window-like openings are provided in the safety flap, through which the adjustable release scales for the overload and short-circuit release are visible. Lateral adjustment protrusions protrude into these window-like openings, which cover the screwdriver slot of the trigger scales and thus prevent undesired adjustment of the scales.

Weiterhin sind an der Innenseite der Sicherheitsklappe Eingriffsöffnungen für Codierstifte vorgesehen, die von der Frontseite des Schutzschaltergehäuses gegen die Innenseite der Sicherheitsklappe gerichtet sind und ein Schließen der Sicherheitsklappe und damit eine Betätigung des Handbedienungsknebels am Schutzschalter nur dann ermöglichen, wenn der für den entsprechenden Einsatzzweck kodierte Auslöserblock an dem Schutzschalter montiert worden ist.Furthermore, on the inside of the safety flap, engagement openings for coding pins are provided, which are directed from the front of the circuit breaker housing against the inside of the safety flap and only allow the safety flap to be closed and thus the manual control knob on the circuit breaker to be actuated only if the trigger block coded for the corresponding purpose has been mounted on the circuit breaker.

Ein herausragendes Merkmal der erfindungsgemäßen Kombination eines handbetätigten Schutzschalters mit einem Überstrom- Auslöserblock ist außerdem die zwangsläufige elektrische Abschaltung des Stellantriebs, wenn das Bedienungsorgan bzw. der Handbedienungsknebel des Schutzschalters in der AUS-Stellung abgeschlossen wird. Hierbei wird durch Verschieben des Sperrschiebers des Handbedienungsknebels eine Schaltklappe an dem benachbarten Stellantrieb derart verschoben, daß hierdurch eine Schaltvorrichtung im Stellantrieb in der Offen-Stellung gehalten wird. Hierdurch wird in einfacher und besonders vorteilhafter Weise verhindert, daß bei durch ein Bügelschloß gesichertem Schutzschalter dieser durch den fernbetätigten Stellantrieb in unzulässiger Weise eingeschaltet werden kann.An outstanding feature of the combination according to the invention of a manually operated circuit breaker with an overcurrent release block is also the inevitable electrical shutdown of the actuator when the operating member or the manual control knob of the circuit breaker is closed in the OFF position. Here, by shifting the locking slide of the manual control knob, a switching flap on the adjacent actuator is moved in such a way that a switching device is held in the actuator in the open position. This prevents in a simple and particularly advantageous manner that, when the circuit breaker is secured by a padlock, it can be switched on in an impermissible manner by the remotely operated actuator.

Wie in Fig. 1 und 2 zu erkennen ist, ist der handbetätigte Schutzschalter 1 Bestandteil einer zusammensteckbaren Schalterkombination, deren Komponenten nach dem Baukastensystem ausgebildet sind und im wesentlichen aus dem handbetätigten Schutzschalter 1, einem Überstrom-Auslöserblock 2 und einem ferngeschalteten mechanischen Stellantrieb 3 für den Schutzschalter 1 bestehen. An diese Schalterkombination läßt sich weiterhin ein mit entsprechenden Anschlüssen versehenes Schütz 4 anklemmen.As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the manually operated circuit breaker 1 is part of a pluggable switch combination, the components of which are designed according to the modular system and essentially from the manually operated one Circuit breaker 1, an overcurrent release block 2 and a remote mechanical actuator 3 for the circuit breaker 1 exist. A contactor 4 provided with appropriate connections can also be connected to this switch combination.

Der handbetätigte Schutzschalter 1 dient dem Motorschutz und/ oder dem Leitungsschutz. Er hat einen um eine Achse 5 drehbaren Handbedienungsknebel 6, der an einem auskragenden Gehäuseteil 7 des Schutzschalters 1 um eine zur Befestigungsebene 8 des Schalters 1 vorzugsweise senkrecht stehende Achse 5 drehbar ist.The manually operated circuit breaker 1 is used for motor protection and / or line protection. It has a manual control knob 6 which can be rotated about an axis 5 and which can be rotated on an overhanging housing part 7 of the circuit breaker 1 about an axis 5 which is preferably perpendicular to the mounting plane 8 of the switch 1.

Unterhalb des auskragenden Gehäuseteils 7 des Schutzschalters 1 befindet sich eine sichtbare Trennstrecke 9 für den steckbaren austauschbaren Überstrom-Auslöserblock 2, der an dem Schaltergehäuse neben dem auskragenden Gehäuseteil 7 parallel zur Achse 5 des Handbedienungsknebels 6 einschiebbar ist und eine die Frontseite 10 des Schaltergehäuses 1 rings um den Handbedienungsknebel 6 rahmenartig überdeckende Sicherheitseinrichtung 11 mit einer fensterartigen Aussparung 12 für den Handbedienungsknebel 6 aufweist. Die Aussparung 12 hat eine solche rechteckig langgestreckte Form, daß sie eine Durchtrittsöffnung für den Handbedienungsknebel 6 des Schutzschalters 1 in dessen Null- bzw. Ausschaltstellung von Fig. 1 und 2 bildet und den Handbedienungsknebel 6 in seinen Einschaltstellungen von Fig. 3 und 4 derart hintergreift, daß der Auslöserblock 2 durch den Handbedienungsknebel 6 gegen Abzug von dem Schaltergehäuse 1 gesichert ist.Below the cantilevered housing part 7 of the circuit breaker 1 there is a visible isolating section 9 for the pluggable, interchangeable overcurrent release block 2, which can be inserted on the switch housing next to the cantilevered housing part 7 parallel to the axis 5 of the manual control knob 6 and one the front 10 of the switch housing 1 ring around the hand control gag 6 has a safety device 11 covering it like a frame with a window-like recess 12 for the hand control gag 6. The recess 12 has such a rectangular, elongated shape that it forms a passage opening for the manual control knob 6 of the circuit breaker 1 in its zero or off position of FIGS. 1 and 2 and engages behind the manual control knob 6 in its switched-on positions of FIGS. 3 and 4 that the trigger block 2 is secured by the manual control knob 6 against withdrawal from the switch housing 1.

Wie insbesondere in Fig. 1 bis 7 im einzelnen zu erkennen ist, ist der Handbedienungsknebel 6 an der ebenen Frontseite 10 des Schaltergehäuses 1 nahe der Unterkante 13 des von der Befestigungsrückseite 8 des Schaltergehäuses horizontal nach vorn auskragenden quaderförmigen oberen Gehäuseteiles 7 drehbar gelagert. Er ist als ein im wesentlichen länglicher flacher, die Drehachse 5 außermittig aufnehmender Knebelgriff 6 ausgebildet, der sich in der Null-Stellung des Schutzschalters 1 mit seiner Griff-Längsachse im wesentlichen parallel zu der unteren Vorderkante 13 des auskragenden Gehäuseteiles 7 erstreckt und in seiner Einschaltstellung von Fig. 3 und 4 zumindest mit seinem Griffende 14 den Sicherheitsrahmen 11 am Auslöserblock 2 neben der fensterartigen Aussparung 12 randseitig sperrend übergreift.As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1 to 7 in detail, the manual control knob 6 is on the flat front side 10 of the switch housing 1 near the lower edge 13 of the rectangular upper housing part which projects horizontally forward from the fastening rear side 8 of the switch housing 7 rotatably mounted. It is designed as a substantially elongated flat toggle handle 6 receiving the axis of rotation 5, which extends in the zero position of the circuit breaker 1 with its handle longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the lower front edge 13 of the projecting housing part 7 and in its switched-on position 3 and 4, at least with its handle end 14, overlaps the safety frame 11 on the trigger block 2 next to the window-like recess 12 in a locking manner.

Die Sicherheitseinrichtung 11 an dem Auslöserblock 2 ist als Sicherheitsklappe 15 ausgebildet und um eine waagerechte Achse 15a an der unteren Vorderkante 2a des Auslöserblockes 2 derart schwenkbar gelagert, daß sie einerseits als Handgriff zum Herausziehen des Auslöserblockes 2 aus der Schalterkombination und andererseits als Sicherheitselement zur Sicherung des Auslöserblockes 2 in der Einschubstellung von Fig. 2 bis 8 an der Schalterkombination, und zwar an der ebenen Frontseite 10 des Schutzschalters 1, dienen kann.The safety device 11 on the trigger block 2 is designed as a safety flap 15 and is pivoted about a horizontal axis 15a on the lower front edge 2a of the trigger block 2 such that it is used on the one hand as a handle for pulling the trigger block 2 out of the switch combination and on the other hand as a safety element for securing the Trigger block 2 in the insertion position of FIGS. 2 to 8 on the switch combination, specifically on the flat front 10 of the circuit breaker 1, can serve.

Wie in Fig. 1 bis 3 weiterhin zu erkennen ist, hat die Sicherheitsklappe 15 unterhalb der fensterartigen Aussparung 12 für den Handbedienungsknebel 6 zwei kreisförmige Öffnungen 16, 17 für die Auslöseskalen 18, 19 von Überlast- und/oder Kurzschlußauslösern, wobei vom Rand der beiden kreisrunden Öffnungen jeweils eine Verstellschutznase 20 radial nach innen ragt, die die Einstellschlitze 18a, 19a für Schraubendreher oder dergleichen an den Auslöseskalen 18, 19 in der Sicherungsstellung der Sicherheitsklappe 15 überdecken, wie dies in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist. Jede Verstellschutznase 20 ist mit einer Sollbruchstelle 21 versehen.As can also be seen in FIGS. 1 to 3, the safety flap 15 has two circular openings 16, 17 for the trigger scales 18, 19 of overload and / or short-circuit releases, below the window-like recess 12 for the manual control knob 6, from the edge of the two Circular openings each protrude an adjustment protector 20 radially inward, which cover the adjustment slots 18a, 19a for screwdrivers or the like on the release scales 18, 19 in the securing position of the safety flap 15, as shown in FIG. 3. Each adjustment protection nose 20 is provided with a predetermined breaking point 21.

Außerdem weist die Sicherheitsklappe 15 neben dem fensterartigen Ausschnitt 12 für den Handbedienungsknebel 6 mehrere Bohrungen 22 für Indikator- oder Codierstifte 23 auf, die wahlweise in Bohrungen 23a an der Frontseite 10 des auskragenden Schaltergehäuses eingesteckt und so programmiert werden können, daß an dem Schutzschalter 1 nur ein für den jeweiligen Einsatzzweck geeigneter Über-strom-Auslöserblock 2 montiert werden kann. Dazu werden geeignete Stifte in die Bohrungen des Schaltergehäuses und der Sicherheitsklappe 15 gesteckt, so daß bei richtiger Zuordnung jeweils ein Stift und eine Bohrung aufeinandertreffen und die Sicherheitsklappe 15 geschlossen werden kann, was sonst nicht möglich ist.In addition, the safety flap 15, in addition to the window-like cutout 12 for the manual control knob 6, has a plurality of bores 22 for indicator or coding pins 23, which can optionally be inserted into bores 23a on the front side 10 of the projecting switch housing and can be programmed in such a way that only the circuit breaker 1 an overcurrent release block 2 suitable for the respective application can be installed. For this purpose, suitable pins are inserted into the bores of the switch housing and the safety flap 15, so that, when correctly assigned, a pin and a hole meet each other and the safety flap 15 can be closed, which is otherwise not possible.

Von der Frontseite 10 des Schaltergehäuses steht außerdem eine Durchzugöse 24 für einen Plombierdraht zur Festlegung der Sicherheitsklappe 15 und des Auslöserblockes 2 an dem Schaltergehäuse hervor.From the front 10 of the switch housing, there is also a pull-through eye 24 for a sealing wire for fixing the safety flap 15 and the trigger block 2 on the switch housing.

Ferner weist der Handbedienungsknebel 6 an seinem Griffende 14 einen quer zur Drehachse 5 ausfahrbaren Sperrschieber 25 auf mit einer Öffnung 26 für ein Verschlußelement 27, wie ein Einhänge- Bügelschloß, und mit einem Verriegelungsschlitz 28, der in Längsrichtung des Sperrschiebers 26 verläuft und sich in der Sperrstellung des Handbedienungsknebels 6 über eine von der Frontseite 10 des Schutzschalters 1 hervorstehende Sperrnase 29 schiebt, so daß der Handbedienungsknebel 6 durch den Sperrschieber 25 in der Verschlußstellung von Fig. 6 bis 8 gegen Verdrehen gesichert ist.Furthermore, the hand control gag 6 has at its handle end 14 a locking slide 25, which can be extended transversely to the axis of rotation 5, with an opening 26 for a locking element 27, such as a hook-and-loop lock, and with a locking slot 28, which runs in the longitudinal direction of the locking slide 26 and extends in the Locked position of the hand control knob 6 over a protruding from the front 10 of the circuit breaker 1 locking lug 29, so that the hand control knob 6 is secured by the locking slide 25 in the closed position of FIGS. 6 to 8 against rotation.

Der Sperrschieber 25 an dem Handbedienungsknebel 6 hat dabei eine solche Länge, daß er in seiner ausgefahrenen Sperrstellung von Fig. 6 bis 8 vorzugsweise bis an den seitlichen Rand 30 des Schutzschaltergehäuses derart reicht, daß er eine Schalteinrichtung, die von dem neben dem Schutzschalter 1 montierten Stellantrieb 3 seitlich hervorsteht, in eine andere Schaltstellung bewegt. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel von Fig. 1 bis 3 und 7 ist dies eine Schaltklappe 31 an dem Stellantrieb 3, die parallel zur Frontseite 10 des Schutzschalters 1 seitlich verschiebbar ist und mittels eines im Stellantrieb 3 vorgesehenen Hilfsschalters für eine zwangsläufige elektrische Abschaltung des Stellantriebes 3 dient.The locking slide 25 on the hand control toggle 6 has such a length that in its extended locking position from FIGS. 6 to 8 it preferably extends to the side edge 30 of the circuit breaker housing in this way is enough that he moves a switching device that protrudes laterally from the actuator 3 mounted next to the circuit breaker 1 into another switching position. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 7, this is a switching flap 31 on the actuator 3, which can be moved laterally parallel to the front side 10 of the circuit breaker 1 and is used for an inevitable electrical shutdown of the actuator 3 by means of an auxiliary switch provided in the actuator 3.

Um sicherzustellen, daß der Schutzschalter 1 in der Null-bzw. Ausschaltstellung von Fig. 7 und 8 nicht durch den benachbarten ferngeschalteten Stellantrieb 3 in unzulässiger Weise eingeschaltet werden kann, weist die seitlich verschiebbare Schaltklappe 31 an dem Stellantrieb 3 eine gegen den Handbedienungsknebel 6 hervorstehende Nase 32 auf, die bei ungesichertem Handbedienungsknebel 6 und eingeschaltetem Stellantrieb 3 entsprechend Fig. 3 bis 5 die Frontseite 10 des Schaltergehäuses seitlich überragt, jedoch bei verriegeltem Handbedienungsknebel 6 mit ausgefahrenem Sperrschieber 25 entsprechend Fig. 6 bis 8 derart zur Seite geschoben ist, daß die Schaltklappe 31 einen vorderen Gehäuseteil 33 mit einem Schaltsymbol 34 für die Null- bzw. Ausschaltstellung des Stellantriebes 3 freigibt, wodurch zusätzlich sichergestellt ist, daß auch bei ausgeschaltetem Schutzschalter 1 eine Einschaltung des Schutzschalters 1 durch den benachbarten ferngesteuerten Stellantrieb 3 nicht erfolgen kann.To ensure that the circuit breaker 1 in the zero or. 7 and 8 cannot be switched on in an impermissible manner by the adjacent remote-controlled actuator 3, the laterally displaceable switching flap 31 on the actuator 3 has a nose 32 which protrudes against the manual control knob 6 and which, when the manual control knob 6 is unsecured and the actuator 3 is switched on 3 to 5, the front 10 of the switch housing protrudes laterally, but when the manual control knob 6 is locked with the extended slide 25 according to FIGS. 6 to 8 is pushed aside such that the switching flap 31 has a front housing part 33 with a switching symbol 34 for zero - or off position of the actuator 3 releases, which additionally ensures that even when the circuit breaker 1 is switched off, the circuit breaker 1 cannot be switched on by the adjacent remote-controlled actuator 3.
