Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical installation switching device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Installation switching devices in this context are circuit breakers or residual current circuit breaker, which is at least a single or Have double contact point and the housing has approximately a T-shape.
  • the mounting surface with which the installation switching device is on a top-hat rail or the like can be attached to the free longitudinal surface of the Cross bar of the T-shape.
  • Parallel to this is a front face on the front the longitudinal web of the T-shape and two rear front surfaces on the crossbar of the T-shape; furthermore there are narrow side walls running perpendicular to it on the end faces of the crossbar and provided on the side surfaces of the longitudinal web.
  • the task is to determine the switching position of the contact point of the installation switching device determine and display what is usually done using an auxiliary switch.
  • Auxiliary switches are used for miniature circuit breakers and residual current circuit breakers attached laterally to one of the broad side surfaces; via suitable coupling elements the switching position of the movable contact piece or, if necessary, the contact bridge transferred to the auxiliary switch so that the sound position is displayed can be.
  • An arrangement is known in which on one of the rear front surfaces in An opening is provided in the area of the web, into which an auxiliary switch is parallel to the web can be inserted, see EP 0 511 042 B1; this configuration is for Motor protection switch thought.
  • the auxiliary switches are lined up laterally because of the design the installation distributors with covers enough space for one in the Opening of the rear front panel insertable auxiliary switch is not given.
  • the object of the invention is an electrical installation device of the aforementioned To create type in which the auxiliary switch in a simple manner and space-saving on Installation switching device can be set.
  • the auxiliary switch can then be attached to one of the narrow side walls and via one the coupling element actuating the auxiliary switch contact point, which is transverse to the narrow side wall runs, can be coupled to the movable contact piece.
  • the width of the auxiliary switch corresponds to the module width of a circuit breaker pole.
  • the auxiliary switch is preferred for line or residual current circuit breakers attached to the end face of the crossbar. This will in the area of the front Front surface avoided a widening of the web of the T-shape, so that a Installation in an installation distribution with a front cover is not hindered.
  • the auxiliary switch width corresponds to the width of a circuit breaker or residual current circuit breaker module, so that the broadsides of the installation device from the Auxiliary switches cannot be towered over.
  • the coupling element is advantageously a slide, which under the force of a Spring against the movable contact piece, for example against a contact bridge or against a bell crank connected to the contact bridge or against the Contact lever is pressed.
  • the auxiliary switch is preferably a microswitch which is in the auxiliary switch housing is housed; on the coupling element, d. H. on the slide, is a cam surface provided that actuates the microswitch when the slide is moved back and forth.
  • the installation device has one Opening into which, for example, a connecting line can be inserted; in the Design according to the invention, this insertion opening for a connecting line used to attach the auxiliary switch to the installation device. For this reason this opening does not have to be closed when the auxiliary switch is not attached should be. This also applies if an additional opening is only for Inserting the auxiliary switch is provided.
  • locking elements can be provided with which the auxiliary switch housing are fixed to the housing of the installation switching device can.
  • FIG. Shows an insight into a circuit breaker 10 with a housing 11, which has a T-shape with a transverse web 12 and a longitudinal web 13.
  • the crossbar 12 runs parallel to the mounting surface 14 of the circuit breaker 10 and has a recess with a fixed nose 15 and a movable nose, not shown, behind which a top-hat rail 16, drawn in dashed lines, grip when assembled.
  • the circuit breaker has a front face 17 and two rear front surfaces 18, 18a, one from the front front surface 17 Shift knob 19 protrudes. Between the front face 17 in the face of the longitudinal web 13, and the two rear front surfaces 18 are located front narrow side walls 20 and 20a, and between the rear front surfaces 18, 18a and the fastening surface 14, rear narrow side surfaces 21, 21a are provided. The narrow side surfaces run approximately perpendicular to the front surface 17 or to Mounting surface 14.
  • the circuit breaker has one Switch lock 22, which is connected to the switching knob 19 in a manner not shown is a bimetallic strip 23, a magnetic trigger 24 and an arc extinguishing arrangement 25.
  • a bimetallic strip 23 As is known, there is a on the magnetic trigger 24 fixed contact piece 26 which is attached to a contact lever 27 movable contact piece 28 cooperates; the only figure shows the contact point with the two contact pieces 26 and 28 in the closed state.
  • terminals 29 and 30 On both sides of the Components just described are terminals 29 and 30.
  • auxiliary switch 31 On the rear narrow side wall 21, that is on the one on which the fastening surface 14 and which is adjacent to the contact lever 27 is an auxiliary switch 31 attached, preferably locked, which has a housing 32 in which a microswitch 33 is located.
  • the housing 32 has a guide arm 34 on which a Slider 35 can be pushed back and forth parallel to the mounting surface 14, the Slide 35 continuously inwards against the contact lever 27 by means of a compression spring 36 is pressed.
  • the slide On the inside, the slide has a nose 37, which is against the contact lever 27 is present, and in the area of the auxiliary switch or the microswitch 33 formed by an inclined surface 38 cam surface with which when the slide 35 is shifted to the left, the switching plunger 39 of the microswitch 33 is actuated.
  • the auxiliary switch housing 32 also has terminals 40, which, like the terminals 29 and 30, can be actuated from the front.
  • the guide arm 34 with the slide 35 is by a for a conductor connection serving opening inserted parallel to the mounting surface in the switch.
  • the width of the auxiliary switch 31 in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the top-hat rail 16 corresponds exactly to the module width, for example of a circuit breaker pole. In this way, the auxiliary switch 31 projects beyond the circuit breaker module 10 not on both sides.
  • auxiliary switch module on the rear narrow side 21 results in that covers in an installation distribution that are parallel to the mounting surface or run to the front surface 17 and connect to the front narrow side walls 20, 20a, not be hindered by the auxiliary switch mounting.
  • auxiliary switch in an opening on the rear narrow side wall inserted and locked there; such an opening that can be provided in addition to a terminal connection opening if needed Auxiliary switch is provided, can not be closed separately.
  • the coupling element is approximately perpendicular to the rear Narrow side surface 21 runs; of course there is also the possibility, depending on the arrangement the contact lever, the coupling element obliquely to the narrow side surface, d. H. to arrange at an angle.
