Definitions

  • the invention relates to a contact system with fixed and movable contact pieces for an electromagnetic Switchgear with housed in a housing Switching magnet with armature and with a quick release Firing pin, the movable contact pieces on one Contact bridge are attached in one with a plunger connected contact carrier against the pressure of one in the Contact carrier mounted compression spring is movably mounted and the plunger with the contact carrier with the anchor of the Switching magnet of the switching device is motion-coupled, and the firing pin of the quick release on the contact bridge for lifting the movable contact pieces from the fixed ones Acts on contact pieces.
  • Magnetically operated switching devices in particular air contactors
  • the design mentioned at the beginning are in many different ways Execution known, for which only, for example DE-OS 33 40 904 and DE-OS 28 48 287 is referred.
  • These Switchgear is the contact piece for every type of Closing more or less stressed.
  • At the one and Switching from contactors often occurs bouncing vibrations when the moving contact pieces hit the fixed ones Contact pieces that lead to undesirable contact wear and Burn contact. It is known to help reduce Bounce vibrations below the fixed contact pieces provide elastic underlays or strong leaf springs directly on the movable contact piece or the movable one To let contact pieces carrying contact bridge attack.
  • the contact pieces of switching devices are, however, except for the regular switching operations also after the dynamic Opening due to a short-circuit current for wear claimed.
  • the dynamic unwanted opening of the Contact pieces occur in the event of overcurrent from a certain height, the so-called withdrawal limit, due to magnetic Lifting forces. It can cause considerable wear and tear Contact pieces lead when a so-called pumping Contact pieces occurs.
  • the magnet remains during this process of the switching device attracted while the contact bridges with the movable contact pieces against the Move the direction of action of the compression spring to the lifting position and the arc burns. If the moving contact pieces after extinguishing the arc, fall back on the Fixed contacts, i.e. be brought back by the compression spring, can weld the movable contact pieces with the Fixed contact pieces occur when the due to the Arc not melted contact surfaces again are sufficiently solidified.
  • From DE-OS 38 24 546 is an electrical circuit breaker known with a contact system in which everyone the movable Contacts carrying contact bridge an impact anchor system is assigned to each contact bridge to open the Contact points acts and also a switch lock, to which the impact anchor systems and a thermal trigger act. This is when the contacts are triggered and opened the contact bridge under the constant influence of a Spring arrangement via a lever and intermediate link acted upon, and held in the release position.
  • This The disadvantage of the system is that the force is constant must be applied to the contact bridge in order to open position opposite the contact bridge directly pressurizing spring to hold. With vibrations or other malfunctions, the contact bridge itself if necessary, close again unintentionally.
  • EP 0350 826 A2 describes a contact system for a Switching device described, in which the feedback of the Magnet armature is delayed to the starting position, such that the way back by helical The magnet armature moves. Neither is done here Securing the release position.
  • DE-OS 36 37 418 is a generic contact system described, but that does not secure the release position of the firing pin.
  • the invention is based, which Short circuit strength of contact systems for electromagnetic switchgear with quick release by means of improve mechanical means.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in a contact system Generic type solved in that the dynamic Opening the quick release of the firing pin of the Quick release on which the movable contact pieces supporting plunger can be clamped and by lifting the Ram is detachable.
  • the firing pin when dynamic opening - release status - after a short circuit temporarily with the plunger, which is also the contact bridge and carries the movable contact pieces, jammed, causing him is temporarily held in this position, and thus also the movable contact pieces in one of the Fixed contacts temporarily withdrawn position become.
  • Firing pin provided resilient and expandable fork arm pairs, the outside of the shoulder cams be spread apart while doing the same clamp so that they are held.
  • the is preferred Firing pin on its side facing the plunger as Double fork with one pestle on two each other opposite outer sides with each fork two fork arms of equal length.
  • the forks of the Firing pin are preferably designed to be resilient, so that they spread apart elastically and on the pestle are clampable.
  • the firing pin between the plunger and Housing is clamped in such a way that to the on the plunger formed system and clamping the firing pin Counter bearing is created, the firing pin between Ram and counter bearing is guided.
  • This counter bearing on Housing enables the firing pin clamped to the plunger with a corresponding stroke movement of the ram as a result of To strip the armature movement of the switching magnet again. In the Stroke movement of the plunger moves away from the Firing pin loosening the clamp as the firing pin is held by the counter bearing and overcoming the Allows clamping effect.
  • the jamming surfaces of the fork arms of the firing pin and / or the plunger and / or the housing with a profile, especially grooves or striations that are transverse to the tappet axis run, are equipped.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention sees the formation of the plunger at the same time as a carrier of the contact bridge and the movable contacts, the contact bridge against the pressure of one in the plunger arranged compression spring is movably mounted in the plunger and on Firing pin trained protruding guide bars in the Triggering state of the firing pin on the contact bridge are movable, and by touching the contact bridge through the Guide bars the contact bridge with the movable Contact pieces is lifted from the fixed contacts.
  • the firing pin is with a Bolt handle formed, at one end a head plate is integrally formed on two opposite one another
  • a fork is formed on each side with two fork arms parallel to the ram longitudinal axis and firing pin longitudinal axis extend and at the other two each other opposite a guide bar in the middle, the also extends parallel to the firing pin axis, is molded.
  • the fork arms are preferably longer than the guide webs trained as the clamping of the firing pin with the help the fork arms in the upper area of the ram, i.e. of the Firing pin takes place during the Guide bars have such a length that they at Movement of the firing pin first the contact bridge with the Touch and lift the movable contact pieces before the Clamp the fork arms on the tappet.
  • the guide webs are also spaced so far apart that without touching the plunger, are guided along during the stroke movement of the firing pin, to lift the contact bridge from the fixed contacts.
  • This thermal protection can take the form of a Insulating plate that is attached to the contact bridge or by forming the firing pin from one high temperature resistant thermoplastic processable plastic or just the formation of the guide bars from one heat-resistant plastic.
