BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION
Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Universalschaltwerk als Schalter oder Taster mit einem in einem Gehäuse angeordneten unteren Sockelblock und einem in diesen unteren Sockelblock eingreifenden oberen Sockelblock. Im unteren Sockelblock sind Schalt- und Kontaktkammern angeordnet, in welchen Schalt- und Kontaktelemente zur Bildung von elektrisch leitenden Strompfaden für alle per se bekannten Schaltungsvarianten angelegt sind.The invention relates to an electrical universal switchgear as a switch or button with a lower base block arranged in a housing and an upper base block engaging in this lower base block. Switching and contact chambers are arranged in the lower base block, in which switching and contact elements for forming electrically conductive current paths for all circuit variants known per se are arranged.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Ein- und Ausschalter oder Wechselschalter bzw. Schalter, die alle bekannten Grundschaltungsvarianten realisieren, bekannt. Für jede entsprechende Schaltungsvariante wird ein separater Schalter hergestellt und angeboten. Dies ist insbesondere bei größeren Elektroinstallationsarbeiten im Wohnungsbaubereich, Eigenheim- oder Bürobereich sehr aufwendig, da eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Schaltungsvarianten, je nach gewünschter Ausstattung, realisiert werden müssen, welche wiederum differenzierte Schalter bedingen. Diese Schaltervielfalt ist bei der Lagerhaltung, als auch aufgrund des unterschiedlichen Materialbedarfes vor Ort, bei der Installa- tion selbst sehr aufwendig, da immer eine große Anzahl verschiedenartiger Schalter verfügbar sein muß.On and off switches or changeover switches or switches which implement all known basic circuit variants are known from the prior art. A separate switch is manufactured and offered for each corresponding circuit variant. This is very expensive, especially for larger electrical installation work in the residential construction, home or office area, since a large number of different circuit variants, depending on the desired equipment, must be implemented, which in turn require differentiated switches. This variety of switches is very expensive for storage, as well as due to the different material requirements on site, for the installation itself, since a large number of different types of switches must always be available.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind zu allen Schaltungsvarianten Schalter bekannt, wobei jeweils ein Schalter der entsprechenden Schaltungsvariante zugeordnet ist. In der Regel weisen diese Schalter in Abhän- gigkeit von der zu realisierenden Schaltung zwei oder drei Schaltkammern auf. Definierte Abstände innerhalb der Schaltkammern müssen dabei eingehalten werden, die Symmetrie innerhalb des Schaltersockels ist zu wahren und Luft- und Kriechstrecken sind entsprechend definiert. Die Vorschriften für den elektrischen und geometrischen Aufbau von Schaltern sind in den VDE- oder ILC-Vorschriften festgelegt.Switches for all circuit variants are known from the prior art, one switch being assigned to the corresponding circuit variant. As a rule, these switches have two or three switching chambers, depending on the circuit to be implemented. Defined distances within the switching chambers must be observed, the symmetry within the switch base must be maintained and air and creepage distances are defined accordingly. The Regulations for the electrical and geometric structure of switches are specified in the VDE or ILC regulations.
In der Regel sind diese Schalter mit einer zentralen Hilfswippe ausgerüstet, die zur Bildung eines elektrisch leitenden Strompfades bewegt wird. Hierzu wird auf die EP 0593079 verwiesen.As a rule, these switches are equipped with a central auxiliary rocker that is moved to form an electrically conductive current path. For this, reference is made to EP 0593079.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein elektrisches Universalschaltwerk zu entwickeln, welches in einem elektrischen Bauteil in Form eines Schaltwerkes alle Grundschaltungsvarianten, wie Ausschaltung einpolig, Ausschaltung einpolig beleuchtet, Kontroll-Ausschaltung einpolig, Ausschaltung zweipolig, Ausschaltung zweipolig beleuchtet, Kontroll-Ausschaltung zweipolig, Wechselschaltung, Wechselschaltung beleuchtet, Wechselkontrollschaltung, Doppel-Wechselschaltung, Doppel-Wechselschaltung beleuchtet, Serienschaltung, Serienschaltung beleuchtet, sowie Hilfsfunktionen, wie beispielsweise beleuchtete Schalter, bereitstellt, wobei die entsprechend gewünschte Schaltungsvariante einfach von außen auswählbar sein soll.Based on this state of the art, the object of the invention is to develop an electrical universal switchgear which, in an electrical component in the form of a switching mechanism, all basic circuit variants, such as single-pole switch-off, single-pole switch-off lighting, single-pole control switch-off, two-pole switch-off and two-pole switch-off lighting Control switch, two-pole, two-way circuit, two-way circuit illuminated, two-way control circuit, two-way circuit, two-way circuit illuminated, series circuit, series circuit illuminated, and auxiliary functions, such as illuminated switches, provided, whereby the corresponding desired circuit variant should be easy to select from the outside.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch ein elektrisches Universalschaltwerk gelöst, in welchem nahezu alle per se bekannten Schaltungsvarianten, so wie vorab beispielhaft aufgeführt, angelegt sind, wobei die Auswahl der jeweiligen gewünschten Schaltungsvariante durch eine Kombination von definierten Eingangsöffnungen und von definierten Ausgangsöffnungen, welche dann elektrisch angeschlossen werden, über von außen betätigbare Auswahlelemente, realisiert wird.According to the invention, this object is achieved by an electrical universal switching mechanism in which almost all circuit variants known per se, such as those listed above by way of example, are created, the selection of the respective desired circuit variant by a combination of defined input openings and of defined output openings, which are then electrically connected are realized via selection elements that can be actuated from the outside.
Als wählbare Schaltungsvarianten sind innerhalb der Schalt -und Kontaktkammern im unteren Sockelblock die Schaltungsvarianten aus einpolig, aus einpolig beleuchtet, aus zweipolig, Kontroll-aus einpolig , -aus zweipolig, -aus zweipolig beleuchtet in zwei Schaltvarianten, Wechselschaltung, Wechselschaltung beleuchtet, Kontrollwechselschaltung, Doppelwechselschaltung, Doppelwechselschaltung beleuchtet, Serien- Schaltung und Serienschaltung beleuchtet angelegt und geschaltet, wobei jeder Schaltungsvariante definierte Ein- und Ausgänge im unteren Sockelblock und im oberen Sockelblock zum elektrischen Anschluß zugewiesen sind.The selectable circuit variants within the switching and contact chambers in the lower base block are the circuit variants from single-pole, from single-pole lighting, from double-pole, control-from single-pole, from double-pole, from double-pole lighting in two switching variants, two-way circuit, two-way circuit illuminated, two-way circuit control, double-way circuit , Double changeover switch illuminated, standard Circuit and series circuit illuminated and switched on, whereby each circuit variant is assigned defined inputs and outputs in the lower base block and in the upper base block for electrical connection.
Über mindestens ein Auswahlelement wird die zu realisierende Schaltungsvariante definiert und ausgewählt. Die Schalt- und Kontaktelemente innerhalb der Schalt- und Kontaktkammern, welche der Realisierung der Strompfade dienen, weisen dabei eine geteilte Hilfswippe auf.The circuit variant to be implemented is defined and selected via at least one selection element. The switching and contact elements within the switching and contact chambers, which are used to implement the current paths, have a split auxiliary rocker.
Die Auswahlelemente sind in Form beweglicher Elemente ausgebildet und verschließen oder öffnen während ihrer Bewegung innerhalb des Sockelblockes die Eingangs- und Ausgangsöffnungen an den Stirnseiten des unteren und oberen Sockelblockes .The selection elements are designed in the form of movable elements and, during their movement within the base block, close or open the input and output openings on the end faces of the lower and upper base block.
Während dieser Bewegung innerhalb des Sockelblockes werden durch die Auswahlelemente mit Auswahl und Definition der zu realisierenden Schaltungsvariante gleichzeitig die der gewählten Schaltungsvariante zugewiesenen Eingangs- und Ausgangsöffnungen im unteren und oberen Sockelblock geöffnet und alle weiteren Eingangs- und Ausgangsöffnungen geschlossen.During this movement within the base block, the selection elements with selection and definition of the circuit variant to be implemented simultaneously open the input and output openings assigned to the selected circuit variant in the lower and upper base block and close all further input and output openings.
Das hat den Vorteil, daß ein falsches elektrisches Anschließen des Schaltwerkes ausgeschlossen ist, da lediglich ausgewählte Ein- und Ausgänge zur Verfügung stehen.This has the advantage that incorrect electrical connection of the switching mechanism is excluded, since only selected inputs and outputs are available.
Die die Schaltungsvarianten auswählenden beweglichen Auswahlelemente sind zwischen unterem und oberem Sockelblock beweglich verschiebbar derart angeordnet, daß diese innen an den Stirnflächen des Sockelblockes entlanggleiten, wobei diese ihrerseits Öffnungen aufweisen, die den Öffnungen in den Stirnseiten des Sockelblockes kompatibel sind und ausgewählte Öffnungen schließen oder freigeben. Die die verschiedenen Schaltungsvarianten auswählenden beweglichen Auswahlelemente können sowohl gegenüber den Eingangs- und Ausgangsöffnungen, als auch gegeneinander verschiebbar ausgebildet sein. Die Auswahlelemente können in ihrer einfachsten Form als Winkelprofile ausgebildet sein, welche die Stirnseite und Teile der Oberfläche der Schalt- und Kontaktkammern dreieckförmig übergreifen, wobei der an der Stirnseite entlanggleitende Teil Öffnungen aufweist und der oberhalb der Schalt- und Kontaktkammern gleitende Teil des Auswahlelementes den oberen Sockelblock unter Ausbildung eines Auswahlhebels durch- greift. Zur Kippstabilisierung können die Auswahlelemente auch nach Art von U-Profilen ausgebildet sein, wobei ein größeres U-Profil, welches Eingangs- und Ausgangsöffnungen gleichzeitig überdeckt, ebenso realisierbar ist, wie mehrere kleinere U-profiiförmige Auswahlelemente, die sich innerhalb der Schalt- und Kontaktkammern zur Kippstabilisierung abstützen.The movable selection elements which select the circuit variants are arranged such that they can move between the lower and upper base block such that they slide along the inside of the end faces of the base block, which in turn have openings which are compatible with the openings in the end faces of the base block and close or release selected openings. The movable selection elements which select the different circuit variants can be designed to be displaceable both with respect to the inlet and outlet openings and with respect to one another. In its simplest form, the selection elements can be designed as angle profiles, which overlap the front and parts of the surface of the switching and contact chambers in a triangular shape, the part sliding along the front having openings and the part of the selection element sliding above the switching and contact chambers the upper The base block engages to form a selection lever. For tilt stabilization, the selection elements can also be designed in the manner of U-profiles, a larger U-profile, which covers input and output openings at the same time, as well as several smaller U-shaped selection elements, which are located within the switching and contact chambers support for tilt stabilization.
Die Auswahlelemente sind innerhalb von Endlagen im Sockelbiock bewegbar, wobei feststehenden Bezugspunkten auf dem Bewegungsweg jeweils definierte, fest positionierte Schaltungsvarianten zugewiesen sind.The selection elements can be moved within end positions in the base block, whereby fixed reference points on the movement path are each assigned defined, firmly positioned circuit variants.
Die Auswahlelemente können auf ihrem Bewegungsweg innerhalb des Sockelblockes den oberen und/oder unteren Sockelblock unter Ausbildung eines Auswahlhebels durchgreifen, so daß der Bewegungsweg der Auswahlelemente extern, von der Oberfläche oder der Stirnfläche des Sockelblockes einstellbar und veränderbar ist.The selection elements can pass through the upper and / or lower base block on their path of movement within the base block to form a selection lever, so that the path of movement of the selection elements can be set and changed externally, from the surface or the end face of the base block.
Das im Sockelblock beweglich angeordnete Auswahlelement ist so ausgebildet, daß es entsprechend der Auswahl der Schaltvariante auf dem definierten Punkt des Bewegungsweges gleichzeitig die der entsprechenden Schaltungsvariante zugewiesenen Eingangsöffnungen im Sockelblock öffnet und alle weiteren nicht benötigten Eingangsöffnungen entsprechend verschließt. Dadurch wird konsequent eine Fehlbelegung vermieden.The selection element which is movably arranged in the base block is designed such that it simultaneously opens the input openings assigned to the corresponding circuit variant in the base block and all other input openings which are not required, according to the selection of the switching variant on the defined point of the movement path closed accordingly. As a result, incorrect allocation is avoided.
Zur Betätigung des Auswahlelementes, welches in seiner einfachsten Form auch ein ebenes Schiebeelement oder Gleitelement, nach Art einer Maske sein kann, weist dieses einen Auswahlhebel oder ein Griffstück auf, welches eine Nut innerhalb der Oberfläche des oberen Sockelblockes durchgreift und in dieser Nut geführt wird, wobei diese Nut durch Endlagen oder Anschlagelemente begrenzt ist.To actuate the selection element, which in its simplest form can also be a flat sliding element or sliding element, in the manner of a mask, it has a selection lever or a grip piece which engages through a groove within the surface of the upper base block and is guided in this groove, this groove is limited by end positions or stop elements.
Innerhalb der Schalt- und Kontaktkammern im Sockelblock sind Schalt- und Kontaktelemente zur Bildung von elektrisch leitenden Strompfaden für die ausgewählten Schaltungsvarianten angelegt, wobei über eine Hilfswippe, die mit den Schalt- und Kontaktelementen in Verbindung gebracht wird, ein Stromfluß realisiert wird. Erfindungsgemäß ist diese Hilfswippe in mehrere, vorzugsweise in zwei Teilhilfswippen geteilt.Switching and contact elements for forming electrically conductive current paths for the selected circuit variants are created within the switching and contact chambers in the base block, a current flow being realized via an auxiliary rocker which is connected to the switching and contact elements. According to the invention, this auxiliary rocker is divided into several, preferably two, partial auxiliary rockers.
Diese Teilhilfswippen sitzen erfindungsgemäß nicht mehr zentral auf dem oberen Sockelblock, sondern sind jede für sich in separaten Schalt- und Kontaktkammern angelegt. Mit anderen Worten, es weist das erfindungsgemäße Universalschaltwerk nicht nur eine, sondern mehrere Teilhilfswippen auf, die in getrennten Schalt- und Kontaktkammern an- gelegt sind. Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind zwei Teilhilfswippen jeweils in den äußeren Schalt- und Kontaktkammern angelegt, wobei das erfindungsgemäße Universalschaltwerk vier Schalt- und Kontaktkammern aufweist. Es erfolgt eine Verlagerung der kontaktgebenden Elemente aus dem zentralen Mittelbereich hinaus in die äußeren Schalt- und Kontaktkammern.According to the invention, these partial auxiliary rockers are no longer located centrally on the upper base block, but are each individually set up in separate switching and contact chambers. In other words, the universal switching mechanism according to the invention not only has one, but several partial auxiliary rockers, which are arranged in separate switching and contact chambers. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, two partial auxiliary rockers are each set up in the outer switching and contact chambers, the universal switching mechanism according to the invention having four switching and contact chambers. The contact-making elements are shifted from the central central area into the outer switching and contact chambers.
Der obere Sockelblock ist so ausgebildet, daß sowohl Schalt- und/oderThe upper base block is designed so that both switching and / or
Tastfunktionen wahlweise realisiert werden können. Mit der Verlagerung der Teilhilfswippen in die äußeren Schalt- und Kontaktkammern wird der große Vorteil einer Funktionsteilung auf dem oberen Sockelblock realisierbar. Es kann eine Funktionsteilung nach rechter Schaltwerksseite und linker Schaltwerksseite erfolgen, wobei beispielsweise einerseits ein Taster und andererseits eine Wippe, also ein Schalter realisierbar ist. Neben diesen sogenannten Grundfunktionen sind auch Hilfsfunktionen, wie Beleuchtung, realisierbar.Push button functions can be implemented optionally. With the relocation of the partial auxiliary rockers to the outer switching and contact chambers, the great advantage of a division of functions on the upper base block becomes realizable. A division of functions can take place on the right side of the switching mechanism and on the left side of the switching mechanism, with, for example, a button on the one hand and a rocker, ie a switch, on the other hand. In addition to these so-called basic functions, auxiliary functions such as lighting can also be implemented.
