Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-pole tap changer with several main contacts, in particular a rotary cam switch, for stepwise parallel and series connection of heating resistors, in which a phase change takes place at the main contacts when switching between certain stages.
  • Such switches are widely used for hotplate control in stoves.
  • multi-cycle control circuits with 12 or more step switch positions are now in use, in which a phase change no longer occurs when switching between certain stages is avoidable.
  • CH-A-245 512 describes a cam switch with which two resistors connected in parallel with one another can be energized individually or together when de-energized. For this purpose, each resistor is preceded by a cam contact and these are de-energized, while the parallel connection is connected to a main contact of the cam switch, which activates and deactivates under voltage carries out. However, the resistors cannot be connected in series, and a phase change does not occur in any switching state.
  • the invention has for its object to avoid the aforementioned, due to the phase change dangerous switching conditions in a generic cam switch.
  • the switch is equipped with a further switching contact makes it possible to de-energize the main contacts (but also the other main contacts) which carry out the phase change, because the entire switching capacity can be taken over by the auxiliary contacts.
  • the auxiliary contacts open before the main contacts are actuated. Since this switching function must apply to both directions of rotation, this circuit cannot be implemented simply by means of a fixed relative arrangement of the cams for main and auxiliary contacts. Instead, it is convenient
  • a coupling between the switching elements for main and auxiliary contacts is provided, which has a lost motion connection, which is effective in both directions of rotation.
  • the shift drum or the switching element for the auxiliary contacts is rigidly connected to the switch shaft to be rotated by the operator via the switch knob, and the switching element for the main contacts follows this actuating movement with a delay via the lost motion clutch.
  • auxiliary contacts which prevent short-circuiting in the event of a phase change, can already be connected in series with the associated main contacts within the switch base.
  • these auxiliary contact connections are expediently wired when the switch is installed.
  • an auxiliary contact can be provided for each phase or the neutral conductor.
  • the cam switch has a base 10 which rotatably supports a continuous switch shaft 12.
  • the switch shaft 12 is flattened.
  • a cam roller 14 with switching cams 16 for the main contacts 17 is rotatably mounted on the switch shaft 12.
  • the non-rotatable mounting is ensured in that the through hole of the cam roller 18 is adapted to the cross section of the switch shaft.
  • the cam roller 14 for the main contacts has a circular through hole so that it can rotate on the switch shaft 12.
  • the two cam rollers 14 and 18 are coupled on the end face via a dog clutch 22, which has a certain rotational play. Accordingly, by rotating the switch shaft 12, the cam roller 18 is initially taken without play, and this takes the cam roller 14 with it via the drag play of the clutch 22.
  • the two cam rollers 14 and 18 are fixed in their respective angular positions via separate detents.
  • the latching for the cam roller 14 of the main contacts can be seen in Fig. 3.
  • a detent star 24 connected to the cam roller 14 in a rotationally fixed manner interacts with a spring-loaded detent ball 25.
  • the detent for the cam roller 18 is designed in a corresponding manner.
  • the main contacts are actuated with a delay compared to the immediately actuated auxiliary contacts, so that the auxiliary contacts are interrupted in both directions of rotation with certainty before the main contacts making the phase change are switched.
  • two parallel auxiliary contacts 21 ' are provided, which are switched by two separate switching stars 28 and 30, respectively.
  • the parallel connection of the contacts 21 ' which are switched with a time delay, ensures that a current interruption takes place even at small switching angles before the main contacts switch.
  • the parallel contacts according to FIG. 7 are actuated or opened sequentially in time, because with a small switching angle and only one switching cam for the auxiliary contact, the contact opening width is too small and the switching reliability would not be sufficient if the contact was closed.
  • FIG. 8 shows an example of a circuit arrangement of the cam switch according to the invention in an 11-cycle cam circuit. According to the exemplary embodiment, it is a hotplate control circuit with three heating resistors (per hotplate). As can be seen from FIG. 8, these are successively connected individually and in series and in parallel, a further possibility of variation being provided by the diode, whereby the heating power is halved in each case.
  • auxiliary contacts 21 are provided according to the invention.
  • these auxiliary contacts 21 only needed to be provided between N and S or T and N.
  • all main contacts are provided with the auxiliary contacts.
  • the contacts are accordingly activated in such a way that the auxiliary contacts open before the main contacts open, which switch the phase change.
  • the auxiliary contacts are expediently already opened before the main contacts open so that the arc is broken.
  • the cam for actuating the auxiliary contacts 21 is directly coupled to the switch axis 12, while the cam roller 14 for the main contacts lags by an angle via the lost motion coupling connection 22. Since each cam roller 14 or 18 is assigned its own detent, the trailing cam roller 14 is brought into the end position by the detent star as soon as the tip of the detent star is passed over.
  • the function of the phase interruption can be distributed to two or more auxiliary contacts connected in parallel with one another and in series with the main switch, as can be seen from FIG. 7.
  • auxiliary contacts only in phase S and in neutral N in order to prevent dangerous switching states when the phase changes between IX and VIII.
  • phase S and neutral N in order to prevent dangerous switching states when the phase changes between IX and VIII.
  • the invention has been described above using a rotary cam switch. However, the invention can also be applied to other switches in which the problem of phase change occurs when changing from one stage to the other.
