Abstract

In a component casing, especially a relay, which has a ventilation opening, this ventilation opening (6) opens in the interior of the casing into an insulation shaft (11) which is separated from the metallic parts (2, 3, 4) in the interior of the casing by an insulating wall (12), originating from the casing wall (5a), and which is open to the interior of the casing at least on its end (11a) located opposite to the ventilation opening (6). In consequence, the necessary insulation paths between the live parts (2, 3, 4) in the interior of the casing and the adjacent metallic parts outside the casing are guaranteed, even after opening the ventilation opening (6). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für ein elektromechanisches Bauelement mit einer einen hohlen Innenraum dicht abschließen­den Gehäusewand, die eine nach außen offene oder zur Öffnung vorbereitete Belüftungsöffnung aufweist. Insbesondere handelt es sich dabei um elektromagnetische Relais mit einem Kunst­stoffgehäuse oder um ähnliche Schaltgeräte.The invention relates to a housing for an electromechanical component with a housing wall that seals off a hollow interior and has a ventilation opening that is open to the outside or prepared for opening. In particular, these are electromagnetic relays with a plastic housing or similar switching devices.

Relais mit Kunststoffgehäuse werden üblicherweise mittels Kle­ber, Gießharz oder dergleichen abgedichtet, damit die empfind­lichen Teile im Gehäuseinneren, insbesondere die Kontakte, ge­gen die schädlichen Einflüsse von Waschlösungen, Lötmitteln und dergleichen geschützt werden.Relays with a plastic housing are usually sealed using adhesive, casting resin or the like, so that the sensitive parts inside the housing, in particular the contacts, are protected against the harmful effects of washing solutions, soldering agents and the like.

Der dichte Abschluß des Gehäuses kann aber für die weitere Le­bensdauer eines Relais oder eines ähnliches Bauelementes unter Umständen nachteilig sein, da das Kunststoffgehäuse, die Spule und sonstige Teile im Relais im Lauf der Zeit kontaktschädliche Ausscheidungen abgeben, die innerhalb des abgeschlossenen Ge­häuses ein Kleinklima erzeugen, welches für die Kontakte schäd­licher sein kann als die normale Außenluft. Deshalb ist es vielfach üblich, im Gehäuse eine Belüftungsöffnung vorzusehen, die beispielsweise erst nach dem Einbau eines Relais (wieder) geöffnet wird. So ist es beispielsweise bekannt, einen vorbe­reiteten dünnwandigen Abschnitt einer Relaiswand zu durchstoßen (DE-A-30 39 702) oder einen zylindrischen bzw. rechteckförmigen Butzen an einer Gehäuseecke abzutrennen (DE-U-87 03 079). Es gibt aber auch die Möglichkeit, einen bereits im Gehäuse einge­formten Durchbruch zunächst mit einer Folie abzudecken und die­se Folie nach dem Waschen und Löten des Relais abzuziehen.The tight closure of the housing can, however, be disadvantageous for the further service life of a relay or a similar component, since the plastic housing, the coil and other parts in the relay release contact-harmful precipitates over time, which produce a microclimate within the closed housing, which can be more harmful to the contacts than the normal outside air. It is therefore common practice to provide a ventilation opening in the housing, which, for example, only opens (again) after a relay has been installed. For example, it is known to pierce a prepared thin-walled section of a relay wall (DE-A-30 39 702) or to separate a cylindrical or rectangular slug on a housing corner (DE-U-87 03 079). But there is also the possibility to first cover an opening already formed in the housing with a film and to remove this film after washing and soldering the relay.

Bei derartigen Belüftungsöffnungen besteht nun die Gefahr, daß an der Innenseite der Belüftungsöffnung angeordnete Metallteile nicht mehr genügend große Isolierstrecken gegenüber anderen spannungsführenden Teilen außerhalb des Relais besitzen. Dies kann beispielsweise dann eintreten, wenn das Relais auf einer ersten Leiterplatte eingebaut ist und mit der Belüftungsöffnung auf seiner Oberseite unmittelbar in der Nachbarschaft einer Leiterbahn oder eines spannungsführenden Anschlußstückes einer zweiten Leiterplatte zu liegen kommt. Schwierigkeiten ergeben sich dann insbesondere, wenn es sich um Netzrelais handelt, bei denen zur Sicherheit gegen elektrischen Schlag lange Kriech- und Luftstrecken, beispielsweise von mindestens 8 mm, erforder­lich und vorgeschrieben sind.With such ventilation openings there is now a risk that metal parts arranged on the inside of the ventilation opening no longer have sufficient insulation distances from other live parts outside the relay. This can occur, for example, if the relay is installed on a first printed circuit board and the ventilation opening on its upper side comes to lie directly in the vicinity of a conductor track or a live connection piece of a second printed circuit board. Difficulties arise particularly when it comes to network relays that require long creepage distances and clearances, for example of at least 8 mm, to protect against electric shock.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Gehäuse für ein elektromecha­nisches Bauelement mit einer Belüftungsöffnung so zu gestalten, daß auch beim Einbau in der Nähe von metallischen Fremdteilen immer die erforderlichen Isolierstrecken von der Gehäuseaußen­seite zu den metallischen bzw. spannungsführenden Teilen im In­neren des Bauelementes gewährleistet werden können.The object of the invention is to design a housing for an electromechanical component with a ventilation opening so that even when installed in the vicinity of foreign metallic parts, the required insulating distances from the outside of the housing to the metallic or live parts inside the component can always be guaranteed .

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Be­lüftungsöffnung im Gehäuseinneren in einen Isolationsschacht mündet, der durch eine von der Gehäusewand ausgehende Isola­tionswand von den metallischen Teilen im Gehäuseinneren ge­trennt und zumindest an seinem der Belüftungsöffnung gegenüber­liegenden Ende zum Gehäuseinneren hin offen ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the ventilation opening in the interior of the housing opens into an insulation shaft which is separated from the metallic parts in the interior of the housing by an insulation wall extending from the housing wall and is open to the interior of the housing at least at its end opposite the ventilation opening.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Isolations-Abschirmung der Belüf­tungsöffnung im Gehäuseinneren können also die jeweils erfor­derlichen Isolationsstrecken unabhängig davon gewährleistet werden, wo das Bauelement eingebaut wird und welche metalli­schen bzw. spannungsführenden Teile auch immer in der Nachbar­schaft liegen.By means of the insulation shielding of the ventilation opening in the interior of the housing according to the invention, the insulation distances required in each case can be ensured regardless of where the component is installed and which metallic or live parts are always in the vicinity.

Ist die Belüftungsöffnung in einem Eckenbereich des Gehäuses vorgesehen, dann wird zweckmäßigerweise die Isolationswand so angebracht, daß sie zusammen mit Abschnitten von Seitenwänden des Gehäuses einen Eckenbereich als Isolationsschacht abtrennt.If the ventilation opening is provided in a corner region of the housing, then the insulation wall is expediently attached in such a way that, together with sections of side walls of the housing, it separates a corner region as an insulation shaft.

In einem anderen Fall kann es jedoch auch zweckmäßig sein, daß die Isolationswand sich in Form eines Rohrmantels von der Be­lüftungsöffnung in das Gehäuseinnere erstreckt, wobei der Rohr­querschnitt kreisförmig, rechteckförmig oder sonstwie beliebig geformt sein kann. Auf diese Weise können unbenutzte Hohlräume im Gehäuseinneren ausgenutzt werden, um den Isolationsschacht ohne Vergrößerung des Gehäusevolumens unterbringen zu können. Wenn möglich, sollte allerdings die Belüftungsöffnung und ent­sprechend der Isolationsschacht möglichst nahe an den Schalt­kontakten angebracht werden, da die Belüftung dann für die Le­bensdauer am wirksamsten ist.In another case, however, it may also be expedient for the insulation wall to extend in the form of a tube jacket from the ventilation opening into the interior of the housing, the tube cross section being circular, rectangular or any other shape. In this way, unused cavities inside the housing can be used in order to accommodate the insulation shaft without increasing the volume of the housing. If possible, however, the ventilation opening and the insulation shaft should be placed as close as possible to the switch contacts, since ventilation is then most effective for the service life.

Da die Belüftungsöffnung üblicherweise in der oberseitigen Wand einer Kappe aus Isolierstoff vorgesehen ist, wird zweckmäßiger­weise auch die Isolationswand unmittelbar an der Kappe ange­formt.Since the ventilation opening is usually provided in the top wall of a cap made of insulating material, the insulation wall is also expediently formed directly on the cap.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an Ausführungsbeispielen anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt

  • FIG 1 ein erfindungsgemäße gestaltetes Relaisgehäuse, teilweise im Schnitt, in der Anordnung unterhalb einer Leiterplatte,
  • FIG 2 das Gehäuse von FIG 1 in Draufsicht mit abgetrenntem But­zen,
  • FIG 3 eine etwas abgewandelte Ausführungsform des Relaisgehäu­ses von FIG 1 und
  • FIG 4 eine abgewandelte Ausführungsform einer Relaiskappe im Schnitt.
The invention is explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing. It shows
  • 1 shows a relay housing designed according to the invention, partly in section, in the arrangement below a printed circuit board,
  • 2 shows the housing of FIG. 1 in plan view with the slug separated,
  • 3 shows a somewhat modified embodiment of the relay housing of FIG. 1 and
  • 4 shows a modified embodiment of a relay cap in section.

In FIG 1 ist ein teilweise aufgeschnittenes Relaisgehäuse ge­zeigt, wobei im Inneren lediglich schematisch ein Sockel 1 mit zwei feststehenden Kontaktelementen 2 und 3 sowie einer Mittel­kontaktfeder 4 dargestellt ist. Die Betätigung der Kontakte er­folgt in üblicher Weise, ohne daß hierauf im Hinblick auf die Erfindung eingegangen zu werden braucht.A partially cut-open relay housing is shown in FIG. 1, with a base 1 with two fixed contact elements 2 and 3 and a center contact spring 4 being shown only schematically in the interior. The contacts are actuated in a conventional manner without needing to be discussed with regard to the invention.

Der Sockel 1 bildet zusammen mit einer Kappe 5 das Relaisgehäu­se, welches an der Unterseite mit Vergußmasse 14 zusätzlich ab­gedichtet ist. Zur Schaffung einer Belüftungsöffnung 6 ist die oberseitige Wand 5a an einer Ecke mit einem Absatz 5b versehen, auf dem ein abtrennbarer Zapfen oder Butzen 7, auch "nip-off-­pin" genannt, sitzt. In diesen Butzen 7 erstreckt sich von der Gehäuseinnenseite her ein Kanal, der nach Abtrennung des But­zens die Belüftungsöffnung 6 bildet.The base 1 forms, together with a cap 5, the relay housing, which is additionally sealed on the underside with casting compound 14. To create a ventilation opening 6, the top wall 5a is provided at one corner with a shoulder 5b on which a detachable pin or slug 7, also known as a “nip-off pin”, is seated. In this slug 7, a channel extends from the inside of the housing, which forms the ventilation opening 6 after the slug has been separated.

In FIG 1 ist weiterhin schematisch eine oberhalb des Relaisge­häuses angeordnete Leiterplatte 8 dargestellt, bei der ein spannungsführender Anschlußstift 9 beispielsweise zufällig über der Belüftungsöffnung 6 des Relaisgehäuses zu liegen kommen kann. In diesem Fall muß also sichergestellt werden, daß die Luftstrecke bzw. Isolationsstrecke 10, in FIG 1 punktiert ge­zeichnet, zwischen dem Stift 9 und den Kontaktelementen 2 und 3 im Relaisinneren genügend lang ist, um die erforderliche Si­cherheit gegen einen elektrischen Überschlag zu gewährleisten. Diese Luftstrecke wird dadurch gewährleistet, daß im Gehäusein­neren im Anschluß an die Belüftungsöffnung 6 ein Isolations­schacht 11 durch eine zusätzliche Isolationswand 12 gebildet ist. Da die Belüftungsöffnung 6 in einer Ecke des Relaisgehäu­ses liegt, kann der Isolationsschacht 11 ebenfalls auf die Ecke beschränkt sein, indem die Isolationswand 12 mit jeweils einem kleinen Abschnitt der Seitenwände 5c und 5d der Gehäusekappe ein kleines Volumen des Gehäuseinneren abtrennt. Die Lage die­ser Isolationswand 12 ist in FIG 2 in einer Draufsicht auf das Gehäuse gezeigt, wobei der Butzen 7 abgetrennt ist und die Be­lüftungsöffnung 6 freigibt.FIG. 1 also schematically shows a printed circuit board 8 arranged above the relay housing, in which a voltage-carrying connecting pin 9 can, for example, come to rest on the ventilation opening 6 of the relay housing. In this case, it must be ensured that the air gap or insulation gap 10, shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1, between the pin 9 and the contact elements 2 and 3 in the interior of the relay is sufficiently long to ensure the necessary security against an electrical flashover. This air gap is ensured by an insulation shaft 11 being formed by an additional insulation wall 12 in the interior of the housing following the ventilation opening 6. Since the ventilation opening 6 is located in a corner of the relay housing, the insulation shaft 11 can also be limited to the corner in that the insulation wall 12, with a small portion of the side walls 5c and 5d of the housing cap, separates a small volume of the interior of the housing. The position of this insulation wall 12 is shown in FIG. 2 in a plan view of the housing, the slug 7 being separated and exposing the ventilation opening 6.

In FIG 3 ist eine Weiterbildung insofern gezeigt, als dort zu­sätzlich zu der an der Kappe 5 angespritzten Isolationswand 12 eine weitere Trennwand 13 am Sockel 1 angebracht ist. Durch die Überlappung zwischen der Isolationswand 12 und der Trennwand 13 ergibt sich eine weitere Verlängerung der Isolationsstrecke 10 infolge des Labyrintheffektes.A further development is shown in FIG. 3 in that, in addition to the insulation wall 12 molded onto the cap 5, a further partition 13 is attached to the base 1. The overlap between the insulation wall 12 and the partition wall 13 results in a further extension of the insulation path 10 due to the labyrinth effect.

Eine weitere Ausführungsmöglichkeit zeigt FIG 4, wo lediglich eine Gehäusekappe im Schnitt dargestellt ist. In diesem Fall besitzt die Kappe 15 irgendwo im Mittenbereich der Oberseite einen geschwächten Abschnitt 16, der durchstoßen wird, um die gewünschte Belüftungsöffnung zu erhalten. Unterhalb dieses Ab­schnittes 16 ist ein Isolationsschacht 17 in Form eines Rohres angeformt, so daß also die Isolationswand 18 in diesem Fall den Rohrmantel bildet. Die Lage dieses rohrförmigen Isolations­schachtes 17 richtet sich je nach den zur Verfügung stehenden räumlichen Verhältnissen im Inneren des Bauelementes.Another embodiment is shown in FIG 4, where only a housing cap is shown in section. In this case, the cap 15 has a weakened section 16 somewhere in the middle region of the upper side, which is pierced in order to obtain the desired ventilation opening. Below this section 16, an insulation shaft 17 is formed in the form of a tube, so that the insulation wall 18 forms the tube jacket in this case. The position of this tubular insulation shaft 17 depends on the available spatial conditions in the interior of the component.
