Definitions
- the invention relates to an overcurrent protection snap-action switch for household appliances, in particular floor care devices, with one-sided fixed contact, which at the same time contains the power connection and with an interrupter contact part on the other hand, the contact system also being designed as a power connection and the contact spring being held in one of two end positions by means of a metal center strip , by the metal central strip being subjected to tension, is designed as a resistance element and the metal edge strips are prestressed, so that when the resistance element is cold, the contacts engage and when the resistance element heats up due to current flow, the contacts snap into a de-energized position with separation and the original element cools down after the resistance element has cooled Contact position can be restored by means of an externally actuated reset button.
- overcurrent protection snap switches have the purpose of suddenly protecting household appliances, in particular floor care devices, from overcurrent damage when the electric motor is blocked, by automatically interrupting the power supply immediately and restoring the normal operating state only after manual reset.
- Such overcurrent protection snap-action switches are known from DE-PS 1 513 242.
- This document describes such a switch of the type mentioned at the outset, in which two movable contact arms are arranged in parallel, the ends of which are on the one hand in a two-part receptacle and which are free floating opposite side carries a contact.
- the thin center tongue is electrically conductive at a connection point, but is only positively fixed.
- the contact side transmits via spring contact via a contact the electrical energy to the second connection point.
- the thin center tongue forms an electrical resistance element which expands in accordance with the value exceeding the nominal current and can snap the free contact from its first end position into the de-energized position with the contact pieces separated.
- the reset is carried out by means of a reset that can be operated manually from the outside.
- the invention has for its object to provide an overcurrent protection snap-action switch of the type mentioned, which, while avoiding the aforementioned shortcomings, grants a safe, long-lasting switching duration in the devices mentioned above, the arc occurring only being conducted to the designated locations and the mechanical stress on the thin central tongue is reduced.
- the contact spring (1) finds its position in the adjustable contact receptacle (14), which consists of the contact bottom (14a) and the contact top (14b). Between the two there is a split prism hole (15) in the rear area Adjusting mandrels (16) of different diameters are introduced in order to keep the contact area (27) constant.
- Fig. 2 the front view of the contacting underside (14a) is shown.
- the U-shaped outer webs (2a, 2b) of the contact spring (1) are inserted into the receptacles (13a, 13b) flattened on one side and held in a form-fitting manner.
- the thin center tongue (3) then lies in the V-shaped notch (28) and is hung behind the upper part of the connection pole (24) in the contact area (27) with the retaining web (2a), so that the contact spring (1) is mechanically defined is held in the adjustable contact receptacle (14) and is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the connection pole (24).
- the contact spring (1) On the opposite side, the contact spring (1) is kept free and carries on its contact support surface (6) the contact (7), with its contact support surface (6 ⁇ ), which in its working end position lies against the front area (10) of the contact tongue (9) and so on guarantees the current flow to the connection pole (25).
- an overcurrent protection switch (19) according to the invention is shown, in which the contact spring (1), the adjustable contact (14) and the fixed contact side (9) with the associated mating contact (7) are installed on the inside.
- the contact (14) is supported against a base (20) and carries a return spring (21) for the reset button (22) in the abutment area (20a).
- This reset button (22) is recessed in the area of the thin center tongue (3) so that its longer side webs (23) come into contact with the U-shaped outer webs (2a, 2b) of the contact spring (1) when the button (22) is pressed reach.
- the outer webs (2a, 2b) are pressed down, whereas the thin central web (3) is held in the contact (14).
- the outer webs (2a, 2b) snap through and the contact (7) closes with the fixed contact tongue (9), so that an electrical contact is established between the connection poles (24 and 25).
- the contact spring (1) increases as a result of a fault in the consumer (not shown here)
- the thin central tongue (3) heats up due to resistance and expands out.
- the contact spring (1) snaps back into the previous state and separates the contacts (9) and (7) from one another.
- the molding (4) in the U-bottom (5) of the outer webs (2a, 2b) is subjected to bending.
- the contact support surface (6) of the contact (7) is designed in the shape of a spherical segment and the front area (10) of the contact tongue (9) is surrounded by an insulating piece (11) molded integrally on the switch housing (12). This ensures that the arc (18) cannot move in the direction of the thin center tongue (3).
- a field of a spark guide magnet 17, 17 'in the form of a permanent magnet is introduced, which runs as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the spark guide magnets (17, 17 ⁇ ) can, however, also be designed as electromagnets which are connected to the circuit in such a way that the field and current direction run in the same direction.
