Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drive component with arm parts for articulated connection with a drive device for the simultaneous actuation of movable contact levers of a multi-pole low-voltage circuit breaker, with an inner metal body which is essentially dimensioned according to the length of the drive component and an outer jacket body made of insulating material which is fixedly connected thereto as a carrier of Holders for contact levers and insulating shields arranged between the poles to protect against flashovers between neighboring poles.
  • a drive component of this type is known for example from DE-B-27 57 696.
  • the drive component serves as a control shaft, i.e. H. the drive component also performs the function of the swivel axis during the on and off movements of the movable contact levers.
  • drive components of the type considered here can also be used as a pure insulating and supporting element for contact arrangements as a switching crossmember, the pivot axis not coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the drive component. Examples of such switch beams are shown in US-A-4 137 437, 4 524 339 and 4 580 021.
  • the invention has for its object to design the drive component so that it has a high mechanical strength with the lowest possible weight and that the occurrence of leakage currents or arcing is counteracted more effectively than before.
  • the metal body is formed over its entire length with a thin-walled angled cross-sectional shape, that the arm parts are fastened to the metal body and that the insulating screens are part of the jacket body made of insulating material.
  • the metal body has a design to improve the adhesive connection between the metal body and the jacket body.
  • the desired high mechanical strength of the drive component can advantageously be achieved in that the metal body has a profile part with a U-shaped cross section.
  • a further increase in strength can be achieved in that two U-profile parts connected to one another with their central parts are used to form a metal body with an I-profile.
  • the middle parts of the connected U-shaped profile parts can have corresponding openings for the passage of the insulating material of the jacket body.
  • webs can be provided which extend from at least one edge of each of the corresponding openings.
  • a rectangular hollow profile in particular a hollow profile with a square shape, is also suitable for forming the metal body.
  • a switching crossbeam 10 is shown as a drive component in a three-pole low-voltage circuit breaker compact design with molded housing.
  • the switching crossbar 10 comprises a jacket body 12 made of an insulating plastic and an inner metal body 14.
  • the jacket part 12 has insulating material shields 16, two of which are arranged on both sides on both sides of a drive arm 18 which is provided as an arm part and is used for the articulated connection to a drive device of the circuit breaker. At the ends of the switching crossmember 10 and in the space between the two pairs of insulating shields 16, the jacket body 12 forms holders 20 for attaching contact levers. In the area of the drive arms 18 and between the associated insulating shields 16, the jacket body 12 forms sections with a smaller cross section.
  • the holders 20 each have holes 24 for the attachment of contact levers, holes 26 for tension springs and openings 28 and 30 for compression springs.
  • the holes 24 are used to fasten a carrier of the contact levers to the switching cross member 10.
  • the holes 28 are used to receive contact force springs for the main contacts in accordance with the number of contact levers belonging to each pole.
  • the respective one opening 30 in each of the holders 20 serves to receive a compression spring, which is provided as a contact force spring for the erosion or pre-contacts.
  • the compression springs effect an essentially uniform distribution of the force on the contact pieces on the contact levers.
  • the contact carrier is attached to the switching crossbar in such a way that the switching crossbar 10 can be moved to a limited extent relative to the contact carrier. to allow compression of the compression springs when closing.
  • the tension springs to be fitted in the holes 24 serve to provide the opening force on the switching crossmember 10 in such a way that the contact arrangements are opened.
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show details of the metal body 14 contained in the switching crossbar 10 according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. It can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 2 that the metal body 14 is dimensioned somewhat shorter than the switching crossmember 10, as a result of which the end faces of the metal body are also covered by the insulating plastic of the jacket part 12.
  • the metal body 14 has the drive arms 18, which consist of two angle pieces 36 arranged opposite one another. In each of the elbows 36 there is an opening for a pin, which is used to connect the switch crossbar to the drive device of the circuit breaker.
  • the metal body 14 In cross section, the metal body 14 is essentially I-shaped. In order to provide this cross-sectional shape, two U-shaped or C-shaped profile parts 32 are connected to one another with their central parts. The elbows 36 rest on the adjacent legs of the two profile parts 32 and close with them approximately flush.
  • the metal body 14 is provided with openings 33 which are correspondingly provided in the middle parts of both profile parts 32.
  • a web 34 is arranged, for. B. by bending out of the opening 33 to achieve a firm anchoring of the insulating plastic on the metal body 14.
  • An arrangement of openings 33 and webs 34 is located in the area of each of the three holders 20.
  • FIG. 7 also shows that a rectangular or square profile part 38 is also suitable, which corresponds approximately to the overall cross section of the two profile parts 32 in FIG. 6.
