Definitions
- the invention is in the field of electrical components and is in the design of vacuum interrupters apply, whose housing two cap-like metal parts and has an annular insulator and consequently intended for switching purposes in the low voltage range are.
- This switching tube has no special shielding to protect the inner formed by the annular insulator Isolation distance on, because a relatively wide end face of the annular insulator facing away from the contact area is.
- the power connections of this well-known vacuum interrupter are - as usual - designed as bolts that passed axially through the respective cap-like metal part are.
- the two contact pieces are otherwise as Pot contacts executed; but other well-known ones also come Contact forms into consideration (DE 44 22 316 A1).
- Another Known contact form offer, for example, so-called spiral contacts (English: spiral petal contacts) with in particular flat, plate-like contact electrodes with from the outside Inward circumferential slots are provided. This Slots can each consist of a straight section and of a hole breaking through the contact surface (EP 0 532 513 B1).
- Vacuum interrupters are already used as switching elements for low-voltage contactors known in which the bellows part forms the outer surface of the housing and on the one hand with the power connection of the movable contact pin and on the other side with a short tubular insulator is soldered vacuum-tight (DE 37 09 585 C2).
- the bellows can be used with both the isolator and the Power connection of the movable contact pin through a Cutting edge soldering must be connected (DE 195 10 850 C1).
- the invention has for its object the design of the known Reduce vacuum interrupter chamber while doing so to increase the switching capacity.
- the invention provides that the power connections of the two contact pieces as plates are formed, each the bottom area of one of the two cap-like metal parts that continue to form the bellows the wall area of that cap-like metal part forms, which is assigned to the movable contact piece, and that finally a tubular part, the front with the plate-like power connection of the fixed contact piece is soldered to the wall area of the other cap-like Metal part forms.
- Such a configuration of the vacuum interrupter leads to a flat design with compared to conventional vacuum interrupters significantly reduced overall length. This helps especially the design of the power connections in the form of Sheets instead of the usual cylindrical bolts with, these plates are also the front covers of the cylindrical switching chamber. - The area The design of the new vacuum interrupter can be even clearer emerge if the contact pieces as spiral contacts, especially forms as flat spiral contacts. The usage of spiral contacts also leads to a better one Arc guidance, which results in better switching capacity. So when using flat spiral contacts with a diameter of about 90 mm short-circuit currents up to about 130 kA can be switched.
- disc-shaped vapor barrier for example consists of a chrome-nickel steel and that in vacuum interrupters with small switching capacity, if necessary mechanical reinforcement of the movable, reduced in thickness Spiral contact can be used.
- the new design of the vacuum interrupter enables also a direct connection of the fixed contact piece to the associated plate-like power connection and for the movable contact piece, the use of a connecting bolt with large diameter, which ensures optimal heat dissipation is guaranteed.
- the overall compact design a special guidance of the connecting bolt for the Movable contact piece, as was previously the case with vacuum interrupters for circuit breakers using a plastic socket is common. This means a higher thermal load Vacuum interrupter possible.
- the new construction of the vacuum interrupter makes it possible furthermore, all parts - except the ring-shaped Isolator - self-centering construction so that all Individual parts in a single operation (seal soldering) with each other without using expensive and complex soldering molds can be soldered. It is recommended that the fixed contact piece via a short centering spigot is connected to the plate-like power connector and that the movable contact piece via a contact pin with the associated plate-like power connection connected centered is.
- the shape of the two contact pieces, especially flat ones Spiral contacts surrounding the tubular part depends on the in each case provided switching capacity. With low switching capacity from about 40 to 60 kA this part can be used as a hollow cylinder be trained. With greater switching capacity, i.e. with larger contact diameters, it is recommended that the tubular part on the annular insulator facing End is provided with a tapered taper; this makes possible the use of an isolator and bellows with a significantly smaller diameter than that of the spiral contacts.
- the housing is made from an upper metal that acts as a power connection Plate 1 made of copper, a hollow cylindrical butt soldered to it Wall part 3 made of copper, an annular insulator 4, a coaxial to the annular insulator 4 Bellows 5 and a lower one, also as a power connection trained metal plate 2 made of copper.
- the annular insulator similar to the insulator according to DE 44 22 316 A1, i.e. almost square in cross section as well as with a bevel and an undercut.
- the spiral contact 6 is over a short Centering piece 61, in a centering hole in spiral contact engages, connected to the plate 1.
- the spiral contact 7 sits on a centering, narrowing the flow of electricity effecting approach 81 of a power supply bolt 8 on. This is at its other end by means of a centering approach 82 in the plate acting as a power connector 2 used.
- a vapor barrier 9 in Form of a flat disc made of a mechanically strong material such as chrome-nickel steel. This Vapor barrier 9 is used to shade the annular insulator 4 compared to metal particles released during the switching process of spiral contacts 6 and 7.
- the design of the vacuum interrupter according to FIG. 1 is chosen that all individual parts in a single soldering process can be soldered together.
- the necessary for this Degassing gaps can be used with the prior art known means in the joining area between the annular Insulator 4 and the hollow cylindrical wall part 3 are provided become.
- the vacuum interrupter according to FIG. 2 corresponds with the assignment of the two plates functioning as power connections 11 and 12, the annular insulator 14 and the bellows 15 and the arrangement of the fixed spiral contact 16 and of the movable spiral contact 17 and the power supply bolt 18 with the centering projection 181 and the vapor barrier 19 essentially the structure of the vacuum interrupter according to FIG 1.
- the vacuum interrupter according to Figure 2 is, however, for the highest Switching capacities provided and therefore has flat spiral contacts 16 and 17 with a relatively large diameter.
- the shape of the tubular wall part 13 is adapted to this, that limits the actual control room radially.
- the tubular Wall part 13 points to the height of the spiral contacts 16 and 17 a cylindrical wall area 131 and goes then over a conical narrowing 132 into a cylindrical one Approach 133 over which the wall part 13 in the manner of a Cutting edge soldering to the annular insulator 14 is.
- the tubular wall part 13 is also cylindrical Provide area 131 with an arc-proof insert 20, which prevent the cylindrical portion 131 from burning protects.
- the annular insulator is different from the embodiment Cross section of the insulator 4 used in FIG. 1 rectangular.
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of the one that functions as a power connection Plate 12 of the vacuum interrupter according to FIG. 2.
- a rectangular or square shape of the Plate 12 and the upper plate 11 remains enough space for holes 21, which are used to attach the power connections corresponding parts of an associated switching device.
