Jeder Polstromweg enthält zwei feste Kontakte und zwei auf einer beweglichen Kontaktbrücke angeordnete bewegliche Kontakte, durch die ein Polschalter mit doppelter Unterbrechung gebildet wird. Die bewegliche Kontaktbrücke wird durch einen Mechanismus zur Öffnung und Schließung der Kontakte beaufschlagt. Dies erfolgt über einen Drücker, der in einem festen Käfig geführt wird. Der Käfig besteht aus isolierendem Material und enthält eine Bodenwand und davon senkrecht abstehende Seitenwände und ist mit so bemessenen Fenstern versehen, daß sie die Verschiebung der Kontaktbrücke, insbesondere unter der Wirkung des Öffnungs- und Schließmechanismus im Fall eines elektrodynamischen Rückstoßes erlauben. Außerdem bestimmen die Fenster einen oberen Anschlag für die Kontaktbrücke. Eine Kontaktdruckfeder ist zwischen der Bodenwand des Käfigs und der Kontaktbrücke in einer zentralen Aushöhlung des Käfigs angeordnet, die als Sitz und translatorische Führung des Drückers dient. Der Drücker wird so gegen die Innenflächen der Seitenwänden des Käfigs geführt. Die Wände des Drückers weisen Öffnungen auf, die so bemessen sind, daß sie einerseits die Einführung der Kontaktbrücke in den Drücker und andererseits eine Winkelbewegung der Brücke in Bezug auf den Drücker erlauben. Der Käfig enthält isolierende Flügel, die in Längsrichtung über eine Strecke verlaufen, die etwas größer ist als die Länge der Kontaktbrücke, und deren Höhe ausreicht, um ein Volumen zu erzeugen, daß die öffnungs-Lichtbögen enthält.A generic switching device is DE 693 02 599 T2 remove. A multi-pole disconnector is disclosed here with a separating structure with separable ones for each pole current path Contacts is provided. Each pole current path contains two fixed contacts and two on a movable contact bridge arranged movable contacts through which a pole switch is formed with a double break.

Der beschriebene Montagevorgang ist zeit- und kostenaufwendig.The assembly process described is time-consuming and costly.

Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Schaltgerät der obengenannten Art mit einer Schaltkammer-Baugruppe zu verbessern, die eine einfache, insbesondere maschinelle Montage ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object of a switching device of the type mentioned above with an interrupter assembly improve the simple, especially mechanical assembly allows.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß zwischen zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten beider Seitenwände vom Innenraum nach außen ein Durchlaß vorhanden ist, der in einer Ebene liegt, die im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung der Kontaktbrücke ist, und der von mindestens der Länge der Kontaktbrücke ist, wobei die Kontaktbrücke durch den Durchlaß in Richtung des Schaltkammerbodens in den Innenraum zur Halterung zwischen der Kontaktdruckfeder und dem Schieber einführbar ist und dass zur Halterung des Schiebers ein Anschlag vorgesehen ist. The object is achieved in that between two opposite Sides of both side walls from the interior to the outside a passage is present, which lies in a plane which in the essentially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the contact bridge and that of at least the length of the contact bridge is, the contact bridge through the passage in the direction of the switching chamber floor in the interior for holding between the contact pressure spring and the slide can be inserted and that a stop is provided for holding the slide is.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung bietet den Vorteil, daß die in der Schaltkammer-Baugruppe liegenden Teile der Reihe nach von einer Seite in einer Bewegungsrichtung in den Innenraum hineinmontiert werden können. Durch den Durchlaß ist genügend Freiraum gegeben, daß eine Montage durch Fertigungsautomaten auf einfache Weise möglich ist.The embodiment of the invention has the advantage that the parts in the interrupter assembly one after the other from one side in one direction of movement into the interior can be installed. The passage is enough Free space given that assembly by automated manufacturing machines is possible in a simple manner.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung besteht, wenn die Seitenwände den Anschlag für den Schieber aufweisen.An advantageous development of the invention exists if the side walls have the stop for the slide.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Schieber mit den Seitenwänden verrastbar ist, um auf diese Weise eine einfache Verbindung zu schaffen.It is also advantageous if the slide with the side walls can be locked in this way a simple To create connection.
