Abstract

A switch device for switching an electrical connection between two connection parts is disclosed. Conventional switch devices comprise a contact lever having a switch contact, the flow of current taking place by way of the contact lever when the switch device is closed. To achieve a rapid switching process, a low mass inertia of the contact lever is required. However, this generally leads to a lower current capacity. By arranging the lever-side switch contact on a separate electrical connection device, it becomes possible to separate the function of current conduction from the function of contact guidance. Since the contact lever therefore no longer performs any current-conducting function, it may be optimized in mechanical respects exclusively.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schaltvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a switching device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Prinzipdarstellung einer Schaltvorrichtung wie beispielsweise eines Gleichstrom-Schnellschalters nach dem Stand der Technik. Die Schaltvorrichtung umfaßt ein erstes und zweites starres Anschlußteil 5, 4 zum Anschließen eines zu schaltenden Stromkreises und einen bewegbaren Kontakthebel 1, der um eine Drehachse 6 drehbar gelagert ist. Auf dem Kontakthebel 1 befindet sich ein Kontaktplättchen 2 als kontakthebelseitiger Schaltkontakt. Durch Betätigen des Kontakthebels 1 kann ein Kontakt zwischen dem Kontaktplättchen 2 und einem Schaltkontakt des ersten Anschlußteils 5 hergestellt werden, wodurch der Stromkreis über die beiden Anschlußteile 4 und 5 geschlossen wird (vgl. strichpunktiert dargestellten Schaltzustand in Fig. 2).Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a switching device such as a DC high-speed switch the state of the art. The switching device comprises a first one and second rigid connector 5, 4 for connection a circuit to be switched and a movable contact lever 1, which is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 6. There is a contact plate 2 on the contact lever 1 as a switch contact on the lever side. By pressing the Contact lever 1 can make contact between the contact plate 2 and a switching contact of the first connection part 5 can be made, making the circuit through the two Connection parts 4 and 5 is closed (see dash-dot lines switching state shown in Fig. 2).

Gemäß dem Stand der Technik ist das Kontaktplättchen 2 auf dem bewegbaren Kontakthebel 1 befestigt, der über eine bewegliche Verbindung wie beispielsweise ein Flexband 3 mit dem zweiten Anschlußteil 4 elektrisch verbunden ist. Anstelle des Flexbands 3 sind auch Strombolzen, Reibkontakte odgl. als. Verbindungsvorrichtungen zwischen dem Kontakthebel und dem zweiten Anschlußteil 4 möglich. Der zu schaltende Stromkreis wird also im vorliegenden Beispiel gemäß Fig. 2 über die beiden Anschlußteile 4 und 5, den Kontakthebel 1 und das Flexband 3 geschlossen.According to the prior art, the contact plate 2 is open attached to the movable contact lever 1, which has a movable Connection such as a flex band 3 with the second connector 4 is electrically connected. Instead of Flexbands 3 are also current bolts, friction contacts or the like. as. Connecting devices between the contact lever and the second connector 4 possible. The circuit to be switched 2 in the present example according to FIG. 2 Connection parts 4 and 5, the contact lever 1 and that Flexband 3 closed.

Kontaktübergangsstellen in Schaltvorrichtungen führen zu erhöhten elektrischen Verlusten und behindern den Wärmefluß. Insbesondere im Bereich sich öffnender Schaltkontakte in Schutzschaltvorrichtungen ist eine optimale Ausgestaltung erforderlich. Zur Strombegrenzung ist ein schnelles Öffnen der Kontakte nach dem Auftreten eines Kurzschlusses notwendig. Der Kontakthebel ist dabei so auszugestalten, daß er die nachfolgenden mechanischen und elektrischen Anforderungen erfüllt. Contact transition points in switching devices lead to increased electrical losses and impede the flow of heat. Especially in the area of opening switching contacts in Protective switching devices require an optimal design. To limit the current, open the Contacts necessary after a short circuit occurs. The contact lever is to be designed so that it following mechanical and electrical requirements met.

In mechanischer Hinsicht sollte der Kontakthebel eine möglichst geringe Massenträgheit aufweisen, um dadurch einen schnellen Schaltvorgang zu ermöglichen. Aufgrund einer geforderten hohen Stromtragfähigkeit ergeben sich ein möglichst hoher Kontakthebelquerschnitt und ein möglichst geringer spezifischer Widerstand des Kontakthebelmaterials als elektrische Anforderungen.In mechanical terms, the contact lever should be one if possible have low mass inertia, thereby a to enable fast switching. Because of a required high current carrying capacity results in a possible high contact lever cross-section and the lowest possible specific Resistance of the contact lever material as electrical Conditions.

Aus den vorgenannten Anforderungen ist jedoch ersichtlich, daß eine Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschalten im allgemeinen zu einer Verschlechterung der elektrischen Eigenschaften und umgekehrt führt.However, it can be seen from the above requirements that that an improvement in mechanical properties in general deterioration in electrical properties and vice versa.

Die Druckschrift FR-A-2 461 348 offenbart eine Schaltvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.FR-A-2 461 348 discloses a switching device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Schaltvorrichtung mit verbesserten Schalteigenschaften bereitzustellen.It is an object of the present invention to provide a switching device to provide with improved switching properties.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Schaltvorrichtung gemäß Patentanspruch 1.This object is achieved by a switching device according to Claim 1.

Durch das Anordnen des kontakthebelseitigen Schaltkontakts auf der Verbindungsvorrichtung wird die Funktion der Strom- und Wärmeleitung von der Funktion der Kontaktführung getrennt. Der Kontakthebel übernimmt dabei rein mechanische Führungsaufgaben, so daß die an diesen gestellten Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Stromtragfähigkeit entfallen. Durch die Trennung der Stromleitungsfunktion von der Kontaktführungsfunktion kann der Kontakthebel in leichter Bauweise mit geringer Massenträgheit aus beispielsweise elektrisch nichtleitendendem Material hergestellt werden.By arranging the switch contact on the lever side the function of the current and heat conduction from the function of the contact guide Cut. The contact lever takes over purely mechanical Management tasks, so that the demands placed on them with regard to the current carrying capacity. By the separation of the power line function from the contact guidance function can the contact lever in a lightweight design with low inertia from, for example, electrical non-conductive material.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Schaltvorrichtung ermoglicht die Verwendung eines relativ langen, flexiblen Flexbands 3, wodurch eine Formgebung realisierbar ist, die einen positiven Einfluß auf die Lebensdauer hat. The configuration of the switching device according to the invention allows the use of a relatively long, flexible Flexbands 3, whereby a shape can be realized has a positive impact on the lifespan.

Ferner wird durch die Verringerung der Kontaktübergangsstellen und die direkte Verbindung des hebelseitigen Schaltkontakts mit der Verbindungsvorrichtung eine hohe thermische und elektrische Leitfähigkeit erzielt.Furthermore, by reducing the contact junctions and the direct connection of the lever-side switch contact with the connecting device a high thermal and electrical conductivity achieved.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der vorgenannten Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the aforementioned invention are specified in the subclaims.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Prinzipdarstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Schaltvorrichtung;
  • Fig. 2 eine Prinzipdarstellung einer Schaltvorrichtung gemäß dem Stand der Technik; und
  • Fig. 3 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsbeispiels;
  • Fig. 1 zeigt eine prinzipielle Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Schaltvorrichtung.
    • The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawings. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the switching device according to the invention;
  • 2 shows a schematic diagram of a switching device according to the prior art; and
  • 3 shows a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment according to the invention;
  • 1 shows a basic illustration of a switching device according to the invention.

    • Im Gegensatz zur bekannten Schaltvorrichtung gemäß Fig. 2 ist das Kontaktplättchen 2 direkt auf dem als beweglichen Verbindungsvorrichtung dienenden Flexband 3 angeordnet. Gemäß dem strichpunktiert dargestellten Schaltzustand verläuft der Strompfad bei geschlossener Schaltvorrichtung lediglich über die beiden Anschlußteile 4 und 5 und das Flexband 3. Die Funktion des Kontakthebels 1 ist somit auf die Kontaktführung beschränkt und er kann somit auch aus nichtleitendem Material hergestellt werden. Zudem entfällt die Stromübergangsstelle zwischen dem Flexband 3 und dem Kontakthebel.In contrast to the known switching device according to FIG. 2 the contact plate 2 directly on the as a movable connector serving flex band 3 arranged. According to the Switching state shown in dash-dot lines runs the Current path only when the switching device is closed the two connecting parts 4 and 5 and the flex band 3. The Function of the contact lever 1 is thus on the contact guide limited and can therefore also be made of non-conductive material getting produced. In addition, there is no electricity transfer point between the flex band 3 and the contact lever.

    Das Flexband wird in seiner Form vorzugsweise so ausgestaltet, daß ein möglichst verschleißarmer Schaltbetrieb ermöglicht wird. Dies kann beispielsweise durch eine geeignete Krümmungsführung und Anbringung an dem zweiten Anschlußteil 4 erreicht werden.The shape of the flexible band is preferably such that that a low-wear switching operation enables becomes. This can be done, for example, by a suitable one Curvature guide and attachment to the second connection part 4 can be achieved.

    Fig. 3 zeigt eine schematische Ansicht eines konkreten Ausführungsbeispiels der erfindungsgemäßen Schaltvorrichtung als Gleichstrom-Schnellschalter. Ein flexibles Kupferband 3 ist an seinem unteren Ende mit dem zweiten Anschlußteil 4 so verbunden, daß es zu dem ersten Anschlußteil 5 hin ausgerichtet ist. Das Kupferbands 3 weist eine Vorkrümmung auf, so daß beim Schaltvorgang auftretende, mechanische Spannungen verringert werden. Ferner weist das Kupferband einen Schlitz 8 auf, in den der Kontakthebel 1 teilweise eingepaßt ist. Am oberen Ende des Kupferbands 3 ist ein elektrisch leitendes Kontaktplättchen 2 direkt auf das Kupferband 3 oder einen geeigneten Verbindungsträger gelötet. Der obere Bereich des Kupferbands 3 ist in eine Aussparung des Kontakthebels 1 eingepaßt und zum Erzielen einer massiven elektrischen Verbindung vorzugsweise preßgeschweißt. Am oberen Ende des Kontakthebels 1 ist ein Vorkontakt 7 angebracht, der den Hauptkontakt bei betriebsmäßigen Schaltungsvorgängen vor Abbrand schützt und damit die Lebensdauer des Hauptkontakts erhöht.3 shows a schematic view of a specific exemplary embodiment the switching device according to the invention as DC high-speed switch. A flexible copper band 3 is connected at its lower end to the second connection part 4 in such a way that it is aligned with the first connector 5 is. The copper strip 3 has a pre-curvature, so that Mechanical stresses occurring during the switching process are reduced become. The copper strip also has a slot 8 in which the contact lever 1 is partially fitted. At the upper end of the copper strip 3 is an electrically conductive Contact plate 2 directly on the copper strip 3 or a suitable one Connection bracket soldered. The top of the Copper strip 3 is fitted into a recess in the contact lever 1 and to achieve a massive electrical connection preferably pressure welded. At the top of the contact lever 1 is a pre-contact 7 attached to the main contact in operational switching operations before burning protects and thus increases the service life of the main contact.

    Zusammenfassend wird eine Schaltvorrichtung zum Schalten einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen zwei Anschlußteilen offenbart.In summary, a switching device for switching a electrical connection between two connecting parts disclosed.

    Herkömmliche Schaltvorrichtungen weisen einen Kontakthebel mit einem Schaltkontakt auf, wobei der Stromfluß bei geschlossener Schaltvorrichtung über den Kontakthebel erfolgt. Zum Erzielen eines schnellen Schaltvorgangs ist eine geringe Massenträgheit des Köntakthebels erforderlich. Diese führt jedoch im allgemeinen zu einer geringeren Stromtragfähigkeit.Conventional switching devices have a contact lever with a switch contact, the current flow when closed Switching device takes place via the contact lever. To achieve a quick shift is a minor one Mass inertia of the king lever required. This leads however, generally lower current carrying capacity.

    Durch Anordnen des hebelseitigen Schaltkontakts auf einer gesonderten elektrischen Verbindungsvorrichtung ist eine Trennung der Funktion der Stromleitung von der Funktion der Kontaktführung möglich. Da der Kontakthebel somit keine Stromleitungsfunktion mehr aufweist, kann er ausschließlich in mechanischer Hinsicht optimiert werden.By arranging the lever-side switching contact on a separate one electrical connector is a disconnect the function of the power line from the function of the contact guide possible. Since the contact lever is therefore not a power line function has more, he can only in mechanical Terms are optimized.
