Definitions

  • the invention relates to an auxiliary switch attachment block for electromagnetic switchgear with a housing composed of two shells and a hook which, when placed on the switchgear, can be brought into engagement with an edge strip of the switchgear and a pawl which, when fitted, latches with parts of the switchgear. as well as connecting screws for the fixed contact parts with a saddle-roof-shaped connecting disk, which allows the insertion of two connecting conductors.
  • the invention is intended to further simplify the manufacture of an auxiliary switch attachment block of the type mentioned above. This is achieved in a simple manner in that the pawl and the hook are integrally formed on the full width of one of the two shells. This also has the advantage that only one shell has to be produced with cross slides, while the other shell can be produced with a tool without a cross slide. Since cross slides are required for one shell anyway, it is also advantageous if a cutting-shaped central web is formed on this shell in front of the insertion opening for the connecting conductors. As a result, it is easily prevented that two connecting conductors can be inserted into the connecting terminal on one side.
  • the pawl between the molding and the locking edge is U-shaped is. If very strong vibrations are to be expected, it can also be advantageous if a spring can be inserted between the U-legs. In order to prevent the pawl from blocking when the auxiliary switch block is removed due to the penetration of foreign bodies, it is also advantageous if the open side of the U is covered by an actuation extension formed on one leg of the U.
  • the pivot point for the locking edge with respect to the spring can be determined in a simple manner if one leg of the U is integrally formed on the one shell.
  • the contact bridge carrier 3 can be moved with the contact bridge 4 and the fixed contact parts 5 are held in a form-fitting manner.
  • 1 shows the left fixed contact part with the contact bridge together as a break contact and the right fixed contact part with the contact bridge together as a make contact.
  • the fixed contact parts are curved in a step-like manner.
  • the passage is overlapping through the walls 6 and 7, that is to say formed in a labyrinthine manner, so that no connecting lines can be pushed into the switch room.
  • connecting screws 8 equipped with a saddle-roof-shaped connecting disks 9. As shown in FIG a lead can be inserted.
  • a pawl 11 is also formed, which - as shown in FIG 1 - is U-shaped.
  • One leg 12 of the U is at least partially connected to the bottom of the housing shell 1.
  • the other leg 13 ends in an actuation extension 14, which is shaped such that it shields the opening 15 so that no foreign objects can penetrate into the spring area of the pawl and could thus prevent the removal of the auxiliary switch block.
  • the actuation extension 14 is corrugated on the outside, so that it can be more easily recognized and actuated as an actuation means. Stops 16 and 17 serve to limit the end positions of the actuation extension. If necessary, a compression spring 18 can be inserted between the two legs 12, 13 with separate housing shells.
  • the locking edge of the pawl is designated 19.
  • the molded on the housing shell 2 hook 20 is used to attach the auxiliary switch block on the electromagnetic switching device.
  • webs 21 are formed, which can interact with hammer head-shaped projections (not shown) on the housing of the electromagnetic switching device.
  • the contact bridge carrier 3 is also coupled to the contact bridge carrier of the electromagnetic switching device.
  • the invention has created an auxiliary switch attachment block, the housing of which can be manufactured in a simple manner with an integrated pawl and fastening hook. Only for the housing shell 1 a tool with cross slides is required for the production.
  • the housing shell 2 can be produced in a form without a cross slide.
