Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet der Vakuumschaltröhren und ist bei der konstruktiven Ausgestaltung einer Kontaktanordnung anzuwenden, die aus zwei einander axial gegenüberstehenden plattenartigen Kontaktelektroden besteht, wobei jede Kontaktelektrode Schlitze aufweist, die vom äußeren Umfang nach innen verlaufen.The invention is in the field of vacuum interrupters and is to be used in the structural design of a contact arrangement which consists of two axially opposed plate-like contact electrodes, each contact electrode having slots which run inwards from the outer circumference.
Eine bekannte Kontaktanordnung für eine Vakuumschaltröhre besteht aus zwei einander axial gegenüberstehenden plattenartigen Kontaktelektroden, wobei in der Mitte der Kontaktfläche jeder Kontaktelektrode eine kreisförmige Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist und der äußere Bereich der Kontaktfläche konisch gestaltet ist. Jede Kontaktelektrode wird von einem Kontaktbolzen gehalten. Weiterhin sind in jeder Kontaktelektrode vier gleichmäßig am Umfang verteilt angeordnete Schlitze vorgesehen, welche die Kontaktelektrode axial durchsetzen und vom äußeren Umfang der Kontaktelektrode spiralförmig nach innen verlaufen. Diese Schlitze enden im Bereich der ringförmigen Kontaktfläche in einem gewissen Abstand zur kreisförmigen Ausnehmung. Bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung der Kontaktanordnung wird bei einem Schaltvorgang der Lichtbogen vom mittleren Bereich der Kontaktanordnung zum Randbereich hin beschleunigt und damit die Verweilzeit des Lichtbogens im mittleren Bereich verkürzt. Weiterhin wird der Abbrand der Kontaktelektroden wesentlich verringert und damit die Lebensdauer der Vakuumschaltröhre erhöht (DE-B-28 22 510).A known contact arrangement for a vacuum interrupter consists of two axially opposite plate-like contact electrodes, a circular recess being provided in the center of the contact surface of each contact electrode and the outer region of the contact surface being conical. Each contact electrode is held by a contact bolt. Furthermore, four slots are provided in each contact electrode, which are evenly distributed around the circumference and penetrate axially through the contact electrode and extend spirally inwards from the outer circumference of the contact electrode. These slots end in the area of the annular contact surface at a certain distance from the circular recess. With such a configuration of the contact arrangement, the arc is accelerated from the central region of the contact arrangement to the edge region during a switching operation, and thus the duration of the arc in the central region is shortened. Furthermore, the erosion of the contact electrodes is significantly reduced and thus the life of the vacuum interrupter is increased (DE-B-28 22 510).
Bei einer anderen Kontaktanordnung für eine Vakuumschaltröhre besteht jede Kontaktelektrode aus einem knopfartigen Kontaktelement und einer das Kontaktelement umgebenden plattenartigen Löschelektrode. Die Kontaktelektrode ragt dabei über die Oberfläche der Löschelektrode hinaus. Zur Beschleunigung des Lichtbogens ist auch hier eine Schlitzung vorgesehen; jeder Schlitz weist zwei geradlinig verlaufende Abschnitte aus, von denen der erste Abschnitt allein in der Löschelektrode verläuft und die Kontaktelektrode tangiert, während der zweite Abschnitt sowohl in der Löschelektrode als auch in der Kontaktelektrode verläuft und von einer radialen Richtung abweicht (DE-A-33 03 659). - Bei einer ähnlich aufgebauten Kontaktanordnung sind die Schlitze nur in der Löschelektrode vorgesehen und bestehen jeweils aus einem tangential zum Kontaktelement verlaufenden Schlitz und einer am Ende jedes Schlitzes angeordneten Bohrung (DE-C-23 63 044).In another contact arrangement for a vacuum interrupter, each contact electrode consists of a button-like contact element and a plate-like quenching electrode surrounding the contact element. The contact electrode protrudes beyond the surface of the erasing electrode. To accelerate the arc a slit is also provided here; each slot has two rectilinear sections, of which the first section runs alone in the quenching electrode and touches the contact electrode, while the second section runs both in the quenching electrode and in the contact electrode and deviates from a radial direction (DE-A-33 03 659). - In a similarly constructed contact arrangement, the slots are only provided in the quenching electrode and each consist of a slot running tangentially to the contact element and a bore arranged at the end of each slot (DE-C-23 63 044).
Ausgehend von einer Kontaktanordnung für eine Vakuumschaltröhre mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1 liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Kontaktanordnung mit einer so wirksamen und einfach herstellbaren Schlitzung zu versehen, daß bei einem Außendurchmesser der Kontaktelektroden von maximal 65 mm Ströme von mehr als 20 kA geschaltet werden können.Starting from a contact arrangement for a vacuum interrupter with the features of the preamble of
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist gemäß der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß jeder Schlitz der beiden plattenartigen Kontaktelektroden aus zwei Abschnitten besteht, von denen der erste Abschnitt parallel zu einer an den Umfang der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung in der Kontaktfläche gelegten Tangente verläuft, wobei der radiale Abstand dieses ersten Abschnittes vom Mittelpunkt der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung größer ist als der entsprechende radiale Abstand der genannten Tangente,und von denen der zweite Abschnitt aus einer Bohrung besteht, die im Bereich des inneren Endes des ersten Abschnittes die Kontaktfläche zwischen dem ersten Abschnitt und der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung durchbricht.To achieve this object, it is provided according to the invention that each slot of the two plate-like contact electrodes consists of two sections, of which the first section runs parallel to a tangent to the circumference of the circular recess in the contact surface, the radial distance of this first section from the center of the circular recess is greater than the corresponding radial distance of said tangent, and of which the second section consists of a hole which breaks through the contact surface between the first section and the circular recess in the region of the inner end of the first section.
Bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung der Kontaktelektroden werden im Bereich der Kontaktfläche Wirbelströme vollständig unterdrückt, die sich anderenfalls der Ausbildung eines genügend starken, bogenantreibenden Radialmagnetfeldes entgegenstellen würden. Demzufolge läßt sich mit der gemäß der Erfindung vorgesehenen Ausgestaltung der Kontaktelektroden eine Leistungssteigerung auf etwa 40 kA erreichen. Dies ist auch noch bei einem Außendurchmesser der Kontaktelektroden von etwa 60 mm gegeben. Dabei ist hervorzuheben, daß sich die vorgesehene Kontaktgeometrie fertigungstechnisch sehr einfach durch Bohren und geradliniges Fräsen einer einteiligen Kontaktelektrode herstellen läßt.With such a configuration of the contact electrodes, eddy currents are completely suppressed in the area of the contact surface, which eddy currents would otherwise occur would oppose a sufficiently strong, arc-driving radial magnetic field. Accordingly, an increase in performance can be achieved with the configuration of the contact electrodes provided according to the invention reach about 40 kA. This is also the case with an outer diameter of the contact electrodes of approximately 60 mm. It should be emphasized that the contact geometry provided can be produced very easily in terms of production technology by drilling and straight milling of a one-piece contact electrode.
Zur Optimierung der Kontaktgeometrie sind die in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 8 behandelten Maßnahmen vorgesehen. Diese zielen einerseits auf einen möglichst wirksamen Bogenantrieb und andererseis auf eine möglichst große Kontaktfläche ab, insbesondere dann, wenn die Kontaktfläche aus einem ringförmigen Bereich besteht, der zur Verbesserung der Löschwirkung von einem äußeren, konisch bzw. kegelig verlaufenden Bereich umgeben ist. Wesentlich dabei ist, daß der erste, geradlinig verlaufende Abschnitt jedes Schlitzes in die eigentliche Kontaktfläche hineinreicht.The measures dealt with in
Bezüglich der Anordnung der beiden Kontaktelektroden zueinander ist darauf zu achten, daß die Schlitzung der einen Kontaktelektrode spiegelverkehrt zur Schlitzung der anderen Kontaktelektrode angeordnet ist und daß die ersten Abschnitte der Schlitze beider Kontaktelektroden in Umfangsrichtung um 45 ° versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind, wie es an sich aus der DE-C-23 63 044 bekannt ist.With regard to the arrangement of the two contact electrodes to one another, care must be taken that the slit of one contact electrode is arranged mirror-inverted to the slit of the other contact electrode and that the first sections of the slits of both contact electrodes are circumferentially offset by 45 ° to one another, as is known per se DE-C-23 63 044 is known.
Zur Erzeugung eines wirksamen radialen Magnetfeldes empfiehlt es sich weiterhin, den Stromzuführungsbolzen jeder Kontaktelektrode im unmittelbar an die Kontaktelektrode angrenzenden Bereich mit einer Einschnürung zu versehen, wie es an sich aus der DE-A-33 20 901 bekannt ist. Im vorliegenden Fall empfiehlt es sich, auf die Schulter dieser Einschnürung eine scheibenförmige Dampfsperre zur Verhinderung der Bedampfung des Röhrenhinterraumes anzuordnen.To generate an effective radial magnetic field, it is also advisable to provide the power supply bolt of each contact electrode with a constriction in the area immediately adjacent to the contact electrode, as is known per se from DE-A-33 20 901. In the present case, it is advisable to arrange a disc-shaped vapor barrier on the shoulder of this constriction to prevent vapor deposition on the interior of the tube.

Figure 4 shows a concrete embodiment for the slotting.
Gemäß Figur 1 besteht die Kontaktanordnung für eine Vakuumschaltröhre aus zwei einander axial gegenüberstehenden Kontakten 1 und 2, wobei jeder Kontakt einen Stromzuführungsbolzen 3 und eine Kontaktelektrode 4 aufweist. Jede Kontaktelektrode 4 ist in der Mitte der Kontaktfläche mit einer kreisförmigen Ausnehmung 5 versehen. Weiterhin weist jeder Stromzuführungsbolzen 3 im unmittelbar an die Kontaktelektrode 4 angrenzenden Bereich eine Einschnürung 6 auf. Auf die Schulter der Einschnürung ist eine scheibenförmige Dampfsperre 7 aufgesetzt. - Bei einer derartigen Kontaktanordnung handelt es sich um einen sogenannten Radialfeldkontakt, weil mittels der Einschnürung und der weiter unten erläuterten Schlitzung eine Stromführung erzwungen wird, die im Bereich zwischen den beiden Kontaktelektroden 4 zur Ausbildung eines radialen, den Lichtbogen antreibenden Magnetfeldes führt. Die Kontaktelektroden haben einen Außendurchmesser D von etwa 60 mm. Die Einschnürung 6 des Stromzuführungsbolzens wird auf etwa 50 bis 30 % des ursprünglichen Durchmessers vorgenommen.According to Figure 1, the contact arrangement for a vacuum interrupter consists of two axially
Gemäß Figur 2 sind in jede Kontaktelektrode 4 vier die Kontaktelektrode axial durchsetzende Schlitzabschnitte 10 eingearbeitet, die parallel zu einer an die kreisförmige Ausnehmung 5 bzw. an den Außenumfang der Kontaktelektrode gelegten Tangente verlaufen. Die vier Schlitzabschnitte sind um jeweils 90 ° versetzt zueinander angeordnet und haben vom Mittelpunkt der Kontaktelektrode einen Abstand a von etwa dem 0,25 bis 0,4-fachen des Außendurchmessers D der Kontaktelektrode. Die Breite jedes Schlitzes beträgt etwa 2 bis 4 mm. Weiterhin beträgt der Abstand zwischen dem Ende jedes ersten Abschnittes und einer auf diesem ersten Schlitzabschnitt senkrecht stehenden, an den Außenumfang der Kontaktelektrode gelegten Tangente das 0,6 bis 0,7-fache des Außendurchmessers D der Kontaktelektrode beträgt.According to FIG. 2, four
Gemäß Figur 3 schließt sich an jeden geradlinigen Schlitzabschnitt 10 im Bereich zwischen dem inneren Ende des Schlitzabschnittes und der ringförmigen Ausnehmung 5 ein zweiter Schlitzabschnitt in Form einer Bohrung 11 an. Diese Bohrung kann so angeordnet sein, daß sie sich an derjenigen Stelle befindet, an der zwischen dem ersten Abschnitt 10 des Schlitzes und der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung 5 der geringste Abstand besteht. Dies ist gemäß Figur 3 für die Bohrungen 12 und 13 der Fall. Dabei ist der Durchmesser der Bohrung 12 so gewählt, daß die Innenkante des Schlitzes die Bohrung 12 tangiert, während der Durchmesser der Bohrung 13 so gewählt ist, daß die Außenkante des Schlitzes 10 die Bohrung tangiert. Man kann die Bohrung auch in demjenigen Bereich anordnen, der zwischen dem Ende des ersten Abschnittes des Schlitzes und der engsten Stelle zwischen dem ersten Abschnitt und der kreisförmigen Ausnehmung liegt, wie es für die Bohrung 11 der Fall ist. In diesem Fall ist der Durchmesser der Bohrung 11 so gewählt, daß die Außenkante des Schlitzes 10 die Bohrung 11 tangiert.According to FIG. 3, a second slot section in the form of a
Figur 4 zeigt eine Ausführungsform, bei der der zweite Abschnitt jedes Schlitzes aus einer Bohrung 13 besteht, die von der Außenkante des jeweils ersten Schlitzabschnittes 10 tangiert wird und an der engsten Stelle zwischen dem ersten Abschnitt 10 und der ringförmigen Ausnehmung 5 angeordnet ist. Weiterhin ist die Kontaktfläche, auf der beim Ausschalten der Kontaktanordnung ein Lichtbogen zünden kann, dadurch eingeengt, daß die Kontaktelektrode einen äußeren ringförmigen Bereich 8 aufweist, der entsprechend der bekannten Kontaktanordnung nach DE-B-28 22 510 nach außen konisch verläuft, beispielsweise unter einem Winkel von etwa 15 °. Der Außendurchmesser d₂ der eigentlichen Kontaktfläche beträgt dabei etwa 2/3 des Außendurchmessers D der Kontaktelektrode, während der Durchmesser d₁ der ringförmigen Ausnehmung bei etwa dem 0,26 bis 0,28-fachen des Außendurchmessers D der Kontaktelektrode liegt. Die geradlinigen Schlitzabschnitte 10 haben vom Mittelpunkt der Kontaktelektrode einen Abstand a (siehe Fig. 2) vom 0,25-fachen des Außendurchmessers D, ihr Abstand 1 (siehe Fig. 2) beträgt 0,6 x D.FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the second section of each slot consists of a
