Definitions
- the invention relates to a switching mechanism for a circuit breaker, in which the middle of a spring-loaded manual operating lever Ls and a pivotally hinged latch lever via a latching lever L le, which is in contact with one another under the action of a contact spring located contact lever carrying the latching point can be brought into a fixed Lung with a fixed contact piece, the contact lever being supported on the latching point and on the fixed contact piece and being held by the contact spring, and having a pivotably mounted release lever L acting on the latching point , which can be rotated by magnetic and / or thermal triggers.
- Such a switching mechanism is known from DE 29 38 858 C2.
- the release lever which can be pivoted by a magnetic release device and by a bimetal, acts with a lever arm on the angled extension of the ratchet lever, while on its other lever arm the release members act directly or via an intermediate slide.
- another lever arm of the release lever l protrudes into the swivel range of the contact lever L carrying the link.
- both the magnetic and thermal release element act in the same direction on the release lever that releases the latching point.
- the bimetallic release is subject to a different movement sequence than the magnetic release in the event of an overload, the two different movements can hardly be optimally matched to the required path of the switch.
- a self-switch is known (DE 35 15 297 A1), in which a magnetic and thermal tripping element by means of individually adjustable transmission elements are operatively connected to a latching point of the switch mechanism.
- the transmission link for the thermal release element is an intermediate lever acted upon by a bi-meta L Ist tire, which in turn acts on a lever releasing the latching point.
- This lever can also be pivoted from the magnetic release element via a clutch lever and a bracket in the unlocking direction.
- the separate arrangement of the transmission elements simplifies the setting of the bimetallic release, but ultimately the movements of both release elements are transmitted to a common release lever. This also results in a mutual coupling of the release elements in this arrangement.
- the invention has for its object to avoid the Häei le of the known switches and to simplify the switching mechanism mentioned at the outset in such a way that those controlled by the triggering elements
- Unlatching movements are completely decoupled from one another and the thermal release can be optimally adapted to the latching point independently of the magnetic release.
- the action of the magnetic release path and the thermal release path are completely separated from each other in their effect on the unlatching point. Since there are also only a few parts, a high level of shock and vibration resistance is achieved. When hiring the thermal release system also does not cause deformation of components, so that the whole system is relatively insensitive. Due to the small masses to be moved, the entire switching mechanism also shows extremely fast switch-off behavior.
- the switching mechanism of a circuit protection circuit shown schematically in the switched-off position in the single drawing figure, has a pivotable manual control knob (1) to which a bow-shaped latch lever (2) is pivoted. With its angled free end (2a), this forms a latching surface which interacts with a latching nose (3a) of a preferably rigid contact lever (3).
- the contact lever is pivotably mounted on an axis (3c) by means of an elongated hole (3b) and is itself loaded by a contact spring (4) which engages between the elongated hole (3b) and the latching lug (3a).
- the contact lever works with its contact end (3d) on a fixed contact piece (5).
- the latch lever (2) loaded by a spring (2b) clockwise comes with its latching surface in front of the latching nose (3a) to lie and then turns the contact lever around the axis (3c) clockwise against the force of the contact spring (4).
- the contact lever with its contact end (3d ') touches the fixed contact piece (5) in order to then lift off within the slot (3b) from the axis (3c) so that the contact spring (4) now generates the contact pressure and clamped the switching mechanism.
- the elongated hole (3b ) in the contact lever thus serves as a fulcrum, enables the dead center bracing of the knee joint formed from the manual control knob (1) and the ratchet lever (2) and provides a sufficient burn-up reserve.
- thermal release (8) and a magnetic release (9) are arranged in the merely indicated housing (6) of the circuit breaker in series connection with the contact point (3d, 5).
- the thermal release for limiting the overcurrent is designed as a simple smooth bi meta 11strei fen (8a) and with its base (8b) preferably on a rear extension of an arc guide rail (10) which belongs to the quenching chamber (7) of the switch located below the contact point , rigidly attached.
- a line (11a) also leads from the base point (8b) to a connecting terminal (11).
- the bimetallic strip which cannot be adjusted, is arranged approximately in the same direction as the contact lever, and is connected at its free end (8c), which is variable with the influence of heat, via a flexible line (8d) to the contact lever (3) and engages behind with its free-standing end (8c) a release lever (12).
- This is designed as an angle lever and in turn is pivotally mounted on a bearing body (13) to be described in more detail.
- the unlatching lever (12) is preferably a stamped part, which is made electrically non-conductive by surface treatment, or a molded part made of a non-conductive material. With its lever arm (12a) the unlatching lever (12) engages under the angled end (2a) of the ratchet lever (2), the upper side of the lever arm having a curve shape adapted to the pivoting path of the contact lever (3). If a current flows through the thermal release, the bimetal strip (8a ) , which heats up due to the internal resistance, bends with its free end (8c) in the direction of the release lever (12) and engages behind it Lever arm (12b).
- the unlatching lever is pivoted clockwise so far that the end (2a) of the pawl lever is raised by the lever arm (12a) and the latching point is released. Under the action of the contact spring (4), the contact lever (3) then pivots in the disengaging direction.
- magnetic trigger (9) is essentially formed by a release coil (9a) surrounded by a back iron with a plunger (9b) guided therein.
- the latter works with its end designed as a plunger on a release lever (14) which is pivotable about a housing-fixed axis (14c) on the side of the contact lever L s opposite the release lever (12).
- the lever-shaped trigger lever (14a) also engages under the angled end (2a) of the latch lever (2) in a plane parallel to the lever arm (12a).
- the top of the lever arm (14a) is provided with a curved cam track and thus optimally adapted to the movement of the ratchet lever (2) when the mechanism is switched on, while the other lever arm (14b) of the release lever is designed to be hammer-shaped.
- the plunger armature (9b) which snaps in the direction of the lever arm (14b) in the event of a short-circuit current, pivots the release lever counterclockwise in such a way that it releases the latching point (2a, 3a) and then accelerates the contact lever from the hammer head into the open position shown, the contact spring (4) is also effective as an opening spring.
- the movement of the magnetic release (9) is thus transmitted to the latching point via the release lever (14) completely independently of the movement of the thermal release (8).
- Characterized occur to those supported on the Verklinkungsnase (3a) of ratchet levers (2) about ⁇ same DESCAL li nkungsbedi ngungen and tilting of the angled end (2a) is practically excluded.
- the curved tops of the lever arms (12a or 14a) can also be optimally adapted to the movement of the ratchet lever (2) during the switch-on process, so that even in the event of a fault, i.e. there is an overload or a short circuit, unlatching can be achieved at an early stage , before the contact lever reaches its usual over-dead center position.
- the thermal release (8) is only necessary with regard to the thermal release (8), since the magnetic release (9) and the release lever (14) can be matched sufficiently precisely to the release conditions within the scope of the manufacturing tolerances.
- the bimetallic strip (8a) is firmly arranged at its base (8b) and has itself made no adjustment possible. Rather, the thermal release is adjusted in a special way by changing the relative position of the decalcifying lever (12), which is mounted with its bearing bore (12c) on a pin (13a) arranged eccentrically on the already mentioned bearing body (13).
- the cylindrical bearing body is in turn adjustable from outside the housing in the finished switch in a manner not shown.
- the unlatching lever (12) By turning the bearing body, which is kept stiff in the housing, the unlatching lever (12) can be moved due to the eccentricity of its bearing point in such a way that the given one Over loadst rom and the curvature of the bimetallic strip (8a) caused by this, the latching via the unlatching lever (12) is released precisely and the switching mechanism automatically interrupts the current flow at the contact point.
