Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Sicherheitskontaktschiene für kraftbetätigte Anlagen und dergleichen oder ein Sicherheitskontaktelement als Schaltschlauch und dergleichen mit einem elastischen Hohlprofil, innerhalb dessen mehrere leistenartige, elektrisch leitende Vorsprünge vorgesehen sind, die gegeneinander durch nicht leitende Querschnitte isoliert sind, wobei die leitenden Vorsprünge bei gegenseitiger Berührung einen Schaltimpuls erzeugen.The invention relates to a safety contact rail for power-operated systems and the like or a safety contact element as a switching hose and the like with an elastic Hollow profile, within which several strip-like, electrically conductive Protrusions are provided that are mutually non-conductive Cross sections are insulated, the conductive protrusions being mutual Touch to generate a switching pulse.

Aus der DE 39 21 533 A1 ist eine gattungsgemäße Sicherheitskontaktschiene für kraftbetätigte Anlagen bekannt, bei der im Innern des Hohlprofils zwei leistenartige, elektrisch leitende Vorsprünge und eine ebenfalls elektrisch leitende Gegenfläche vorgesehen sind. Durch diese Maßnahme soll eine zuverlässige kontaktgabe gewährleistet sein. Weiterhin soll durch diese dreieckförmige Anordnung nach der Impulsauslösung ein Nachverformungsweg vorgesehen sein.DE 39 21 533 A1 describes a generic safety contact rail known for power-operated systems, in which inside the Hollow profile two strip-like, electrically conductive projections and one electrically conductive counter surface are also provided. By this measure is intended to ensure reliable contact his. Furthermore, this triangular arrangement according to the A post-deformation path can be provided for triggering the pulse.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die gattungsgemäße Sicherheitskontaktschiene bzw. ein Sicherheitskontaktelement so zu verbessern, daß immer eine redundante Kontaktgabe erfolgt, und zwar unabhängig davon, in welcher Richtung die Auslösekraft auf die Sicherheitskontaktschiene oder das Sicherheitskontaktelement einwirkt. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird dadurch gelöst, daß zumindest vier leistenartige, elektrisch leitende Vorsprünge vorgesehen sind und daß diese Vorsprünge gleichförmig ausgebildet und gleichmäßig innerhalb des Hohlprofils verteilt angeordnet sind. Die Querschnittsflächen der Vorsprünge sind dabei vorzugsweise so gewählt und so angeordnet, daß sie punktsymmetrisch zur Mittelachse des Hohlprofils verlaufen. Dabei ist es gleich, aus welcher Richtung die Krafteinwirkung auf die Sicherheitskontaktschiene oder das Sicherheitskontaktelement eingeleitet wird, da immer zumindest zwei Vorsprünge sich gegenseitig berühren und gegeneinander Schaltimpulse erzeugen.The object of the present invention is the generic safety contact rail or a safety contact element improve that there is always redundant contacting, and regardless of the direction in which the trigger force on the Safety contact rail or the safety contact element acts. The object of the invention is achieved in that at least four strip-like, electrically conductive projections are provided and that these projections are uniform and even within of the hollow profile are distributed. The cross-sectional areas the projections are preferably chosen and arranged so that they are point symmetrical to the central axis of the hollow profile run. It does not matter from which direction the force is applied on the safety contact rail or the safety contact element is initiated because there are always at least two projections touch each other and generate switching impulses against each other.

Die Querschnittsflächen der Vorsprünge sind dabei so geformt, daß sie im wesentlichen durch zwei rechtwinklige Dreiecke mit unterschiedliche langen Schenkeln definiert werden können. Sie bestehen natürlich nicht aus zwei Dreiecken, sondern sie können in entsprechende Dreiecke aufgeteilt und dadurch beschrieben werden. Die großen Dreiecke grenzen mit ihren Hypotenusen an den Innenumfang des Hohlprofils oder bilden einen Teilumfang des Hohlprofils selbst, wobei die Hypotenusen nicht als Gerade ausgeführt sind, sondern entsprechend dem Innenumfang des Hohlprofils bzw. dem Außenumfang des Hohlprofils gekrümmt sind. An die großen Dreiecke schließen sich kleine Dreiecke an, und zwar so, daß sie an die langen Schenkel der großen Dreiecke mit ihren langen Schenkeln angelehnt sind, so daß die kurzen Schenkel der großen und der kleinen Dreiecke eine Gerade bilden. Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Kontaktgabe untereinander sind an den Ecken zwischen den Hypotenusen und den kurzen Schenkeln der kleinen Dreiecke leistenartige Nasen angebracht, die im wesentlichen in Verlängerung der Hypotenusen der kleinen Dreiecke verlaufen und die Flächen der kleinen Schenkel der kleinen Dreiecke überragen. Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Querschnittsflächen der Vorsprünge entsteht im Innern der Hohlprofile ein Hohlraum entlang der Sicherheitskontaktschiene bzw. des Sicherheitskontaktelements, der im Zentrum durch eine quadratische Querschnittsfläche definiert ist, an dessen Seitenflächen je an einer Kante anschließend Hohlraumstreifen gebildet sind, die durch die leistenartigen Nasen verengt sind, wobei sich an diese Streifen winklig versetzt weitere Hohlraumstreifen anschließen, die bis zum nicht leitenden Querschnitt des Hohlprofils reichen. Es wurde bewußt eine geringe Kontaktfläche insbesondere über die leistenartigen Nasen gewählt. Diese führt zu einem hohen Kontaktdruck, der zur Selbstreinigung der Kontaktflächen beiträgt.The cross-sectional areas of the projections are shaped so that they are essentially two right-angled triangles with different ones long legs can be defined. They exist of course not from two triangles, but they can be in corresponding ones Triangles divided and described thereby. The Large triangles border the inner circumference with their hypotenuses of the hollow profile or form a partial circumference of the hollow profile itself, the hypotenuses are not designed as a straight line, but rather corresponding to the inner circumference of the hollow profile or the outer circumference of the hollow profile are curved. The big triangles small triangles join in such a way that they align with the long ones Thighs of the large triangles ajar with their long thighs so that the short legs of the large and small triangles form a straight line. To further improve contact among themselves are on the corners between the hypotenuses and the short thighs of the little triangles, strip-like noses attached, essentially in extension of the hypotenuses of the small triangles and the surfaces of the small legs tower over the small triangles. This configuration of the Cross-sectional areas of the projections arise in the interior of the hollow profiles a cavity along the safety contact rail or the safety contact element, the one in the center by a square Cross-sectional area is defined, on the side faces of each one Edge then cavity strips are formed by the strip-like Noses are narrowed, being angled at these strips staggeredly connect further cavity strips up to the non-conductive Cross section of the hollow profile are sufficient. It became conscious small contact area, especially via the strip-like noses chosen. This leads to a high contact pressure, which leads to self-cleaning of the contact surfaces.

Zur Verbesserung der Leitfähigkeit in den Querschnittsflächen der Vorsprünge, können elektrisch leitende Drähte oder Litzen aus Metall, Kohlephasern oder Graphitphasern eingelagert sein.To improve the conductivity in the cross-sectional areas of the Protrusions, can be electrically conductive wires or strands of metal, Carbon or graphite fibers can be incorporated.

Die Sicherheitskontaktschiene bzw. das Sicherheitskontaktelement kann zwei verschiedenartige nicht leitende Bereiche aufweisen. Zum einen können die leistenartigen Vorsprünge innerhalb einer Hülle mit ringförmigem Querschnitt angeordnet sein, wobei die Hülle aus nicht leitendem Material hergestellt ist. Zum anderen können die Querschnitte der leistenartigen Vorsprünge selbst Teil des Außenumfangs des Hohlprofils sein, wobei zwischen diesen nicht leitende Abschnitte vorgesehen sind. In dem einen Fall ist der äußere Umfang des Hohlprofils vollständig nicht leitend, weil er von der nicht leitenden Hülle umgeben ist, während im anderen Fall abschnittsweise leitende und nicht leitende Bereiche vorgesehen sind, die den Außenumfang des Hohlprofils bilden. Im erstgenannten Fall mit Hülle ist das Profil auch gegen äußere Einflüsse wie Nässe und dergleichen unempfindlich, weil keine "Fremdkontaktgabe" erfolgen kann.The safety contact rail or the safety contact element can have two different types of non-conductive areas. To the one can with the strip-like projections within a shell annular cross section may be arranged, the sheath from not conductive material is made. On the other hand, the cross sections the strip-like projections themselves part of the outer circumference of the hollow profile, with non-conductive sections between them are provided. In the one case, the outer circumference of the hollow profile completely non-conductive because of the non-conductive shell is surrounded, while in other cases conductive and non-conductive areas are provided which cover the outer circumference of the Form hollow profile. In the former case with cover, the profile is also insensitive to external influences such as moisture and the like, because no "external contact" can take place.

In vorteilhafter Weise wird die Sicherheitskontaktschiene bzw. das Sicherheitskontaktelement mit dem elastischen Hohlprofil aus extrudierbarem Material, insbesondere Gummi oder Polymeren, hergestellt und einstückig einschließlich ggf. der eingebetteten Drähte oder Litzen vorzugsweise als endloses Profil in einem Extruder hergestellt, so daß ein homogenes Profil entsteht. Es können auch Hohlprofile mit 6 oder 8 oder auch mehr Vorsprüngen hergestellt und benutzt werden.The safety contact rail or the Safety contact element with the elastic hollow profile made of extrudable Material, especially rubber or polymers and in one piece including any embedded wires or strands preferably produced as an endless profile in an extruder, so that a homogeneous profile is created. Hollow profiles can also be used 6 or 8 or more protrusions can be made and used.

Dadurch, daß in jedem Fall vier leitende Querschnitte entlang einer Sicherheitskontaktschiene oder eines Sicherheitskontaktelements vorgesehen sind, können verschiedene Anschlüsse bzw. Schaltungen vorgenommen werden. Wenn die Sicherheitskontaktschiene oder das Sicherheitskontaktelement einseitig an eine Übertragungsleitung angeschlossen werden, können auf der Gegenseite je zwei nebeneinanderliegende, elektrisch leitende Querschnitte durch flexible Kontaktbrücken parallel oder diagonal miteinander verbunden sein, wobei an der Anschlußseite wahlweise eine Zwei- oder Vierdrahttechnik gewählt werden kann. Wird eine Zweidrahttechnik gewählt, so sind vorzugsweise die beiden freien Querschnitte an der Anschlußseite mittels eines Widerstandes oder einer Diode überbrückt.
Die leitenden Querschnitte können aber auch an dem dem Anschluß abgewandten Ende der Sicherheitskontaktschiene oder des Sicherheitskontaktelements mit vier Widerständen oder Dioden flexibel miteinander verbunden sein. Die Anschlußseite ist dann an einen vierkanaligen Auswerter angeschlossen, d. h. an einer Anschlußleitung mit vier Polen.
Because four conductive cross sections are provided in each case along a safety contact rail or a safety contact element, different connections or circuits can be made. If the safety contact rail or the safety contact element are connected on one side to a transmission line, two adjacent, electrically conductive cross-sections can be connected to one another in parallel or diagonally by flexible contact bridges on the opposite side, with a choice of two or four-wire technology on the connection side. If a two-wire technique is selected, the two free cross sections on the connection side are preferably bridged by means of a resistor or a diode.
However, the conductive cross sections can also be flexibly connected to one another at the end of the safety contact rail or the safety contact element facing away from the connection with four resistors or diodes. The connection side is then connected to a four-channel evaluator, ie to a connection line with four poles.

Innerhalb der Hülle 5 sind elektrisch leitende Vorsprünge 6 angeordnet, deren Form in der allgemeinen Beschreibung ausführlich erläutert wurde. Entlang der Vorsprünge 6 sind vorzugsweise unisolierte Kupferlitzen 7 eingelagert, die die elektrische Leitfähigkeit der Vorsprünge entlang der Sicherheitskontaktschiene bzw. des Sicherheitskontaktelements verbessern. An dem inneren Ende der Vorsprünge 6 sind leistenartige Nasen 9 angeformt.1 to 6, as far as shown in detail, 1 with a safety contact rail and designated by 2 a safety contact element, the - apart from the connecting foot 3 in the safety contact rail 1 - are identical.

At the inner end of the projections 6 are strip-like Molded noses 9.

Das Sicherheitskontaktelement 2 nach Fig. 3 unterscheidet sich von Fig. 2 im wesentlichen dadurch, daß keine Hülle 5 vorgesehen ist und daß stattdessen zwischen den elektrisch leitenden Vorsprüngen 6 elektrisch nicht leitende Abschnitte 8 angeordnet sind. Sowohl die Sicherheitskontaktschiene als auch das Sicherheitskontaktelement sind einstückig einschließlich der Kupferlitzen extrudiert. The safety contact element 2 according to FIG. 3 differs from Fig. 2 essentially in that no sleeve 5 is provided and that instead between the electrically conductive projections 6 electrically non-conductive sections 8 are arranged. Both the safety contact rail as well as the safety contact element extruded in one piece including the copper strands.

Wie insbesondere den Fig. 4 und 5 zu entnehmen ist, berühren beim Verformen der Sicherheitskontaktschiene oder des Sicherheitskontaktelements zumindest zwei leitende Vorsprünge 6 sich gegenseitig insbesondere durch die leistenartigen Nasen 9 und erzeugen Kontaktimpulse.As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 4 and 5, touch when Deform the safety contact rail or the safety contact element at least two conductive projections 6 each other especially through the strip-like lugs 9 and generate contact impulses.
