Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Bei der Erfindung wird ausgegangen von Stromkontaktanordnungen eines Stromschalters nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention is based on current contact arrangements a current switch according to the preamble of claim 1.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Mit dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 nimmt die Erfindung auf einen Stand der Technik Bezug, wie er aus der DE 2925162 C2 bekannt ist. Dort ist ein Hochspannungsschalter mit einem beweglichen Schaltstück zwischen einem inneren und äußeren feststehenden Schaltstück beschrieben. In das äußere Schaltstück ist ein Kontaktfinger mit einer Kontaktschleife eingesetzt, welche durch eine Blattfeder gegen einen Kontaktring des beweglichen Schaltstückes des Stromschalters in dessen Schließzustand drückt. Am beweglichen Schaltstück ist ein Schlingenkontakt angeordnet, welcher im Schließzustand des Stromschalters gegen das innere Schaltstück drückt und beim Öffnen des Stromschalters zeitlich nach dem Öffnen des Kontaktfingers öffnet. Beim Ausschaltvorgang wird zwischen den Nennstromkontakten in kürzester Zeit eine vergleichsweise große Spannung aufgebaut, welche den abzuschaltenden Strom äußerst rasch vom Nennstrompfad in einen Leistungspfad treibt. Der Lichtbogen, der beim Öffnen des Kontaktfingerkontaktes entsteht, wird durch das magnetische Feld von dessen Schlinge beblasen; er erlischt schnell, weil zunächst noch ein alternativer Strompfad zwischen dem beweglichen und dem inneren feststehenden Schaltstück besteht. With the preamble of claim 1, the invention takes to a prior art reference, as it is from DE 2925162 C2 is known. There is a high voltage switch with one movable contact between an inner and outer fixed contact piece described. In the outer contact piece a contact finger with a contact loop is used, which is supported by a leaf spring against a contact ring of the Movable contact piece of the current switch in its Closing state presses. There is a on the moving contact Loop contact arranged, which in the closed state of the Current switch presses against the inner contact piece and at Opening the power switch after opening the Contact finger opens. When switching off, between Rated current contacts in a very short time a comparatively large Voltage built up, which is the current to be switched off drifts quickly from the nominal current path into a power path. The Arc that arises when the contact finger contact is opened is blown by the magnetic field from its loop; he goes out quickly because there is still an alternative current path between the movable and the inner fixed Contact piece exists.

Der Aufbau eines derartigen Nennstromkontaktsystems mit vielen Kontaktfingern und dazugehörigen Halterungen und Andruckfedern ist relativ aufwendig und teuer.The construction of such a nominal current contact system with many Contact fingers and associated mounts and pressure springs is relatively complex and expensive.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Die Erfindung, wie sie im Patentanspruch 1 definiert ist, löst die Aufgabe, Stromkontaktanordnungen eines Stromschalters der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzuentwickeln, daß der Stromschalter einfacher und kostengünstiger herstellbar ist.The invention as defined in claim 1 solves the task of current contact arrangements of a current switch continue to develop in such a way that the Power switch is easier and cheaper to manufacture.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen definiert.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the dependent claims defined.

Ein Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß zu dem Nennstrompfad kein zusätzlicher Leistungsstrompfad erforderlich ist.An advantage of the invention is that Nominal current path no additional power current path required is.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Lichtbogenlänge mit einfachen Mitteln vergrößert und damit die Kommutationsspannung erhöht, das Abschaltverhalten verbessert und der Abbrand der Stromkontakte verringert werden.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the Arc length increased with simple means and thus the Commutation voltage increased, the switch-off behavior improved and the erosion of the power contacts can be reduced.

WEGE ZUR AUSFÜHRUNG DER ERFINDUNGWAYS OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

In den Figuren sind gleiche Teile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet.In the figures, the same parts have the same reference numerals characterized.

Fig. 1 zeigt in einem Ausschnitt eine Schnittdarstellung einer kreiszylindrischen Nennstrom-Kontaktanordnung eines Leistungsschalters bzw. Stromschalters im Schließzustand, wobei mit (1) dessen Längsachse bezeichnet ist. Eine rohrförmige, bewegliche 1. Stromkontaktanordnung (K1) und eine rohrförmige, feststehende 2. Stromkontaktanordnung (K2) weisen endseitig Schaltkontakte (P4) bzw. (P1) auf, die kostengünstig durch Anschweißen von Profilringen herstellbar sind. An der 1. Stromkontaktanordnung (K1) ist endseitig ferner ein U-förmiges Lichtbogenhorn (R1) aus einem elektrisch gutleitenden Werkstoff angeordnet und an der 2. Stromkontaktanordnung (K2) endseitig ein Lichtbogenhorn bzw. eine U-förmige Stromleiterschleife (R2), die bis zu einander gegenüberliegenden Schaltkontakten (P2) und (P3) aus einem Bimetall besteht. Der innenliegende Teil des Bimetalls besteht aus einem Material mit einer hohen Elastizitätskonstante, vorzugsweise aus Stahl (2), und der außenliegende aus einem elektrisch gutleitenden Material, vorzugsweise aus Kupfer (3) oder einer Kupferlegierung. Die Stahlkomponente der Stromleiterschleife (R2) gewährleistet deren hohe radiale Elastizität; sie ist so geformt, daß sich die Stromleiterschleife (R2) nach einer Kontakttrennung in die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Form entspannt. Zur Verbesserung dieser Elastizität kann die Stromieiterschleife (R2) auf ihrer nach innen gebogenen Seite in radialer Richtung eingesägt sein. Die Kupferkomponente des Bimetalls gewährleistet eine hohe elektrische Leitfähigkeit. Die im Schließzustand des Stromschalters übereinanderliegenden und durch eine elastische Deformation der 1. und 2. Stromkontaktanordnungen (K1, K2) angedrückten Schaltkontakte (P1) - (P4) sind durch Lichtbögen unterschiedlich stark beansprucht. Für die wenig beanspruchten Schaltkontakte (P1) und (P2) genügt ein Silberüberzug, während die Schaltkontakte (P3) und (P4) eine Auflage aus einem Abbrandmaterial aufweisen. Die Stromleiterschleife (R2) weist endseitig hinter den Schaltkontakten (P1) und (P2) ein lichtbogenseitig abgewinkeltes Kontaktende bzw. Lichtbogenhorn (3') aus Kupfer auf. Eine gestrichelte Linie (4) durch die 1. Stromkontaktanordnung (K1), die Schaltkontakte (P1) - (P4) und die 2. Stromkontaktanordnung (K2) deutet einen symmetrischen Strompfad an.Fig. 1 shows a section of a sectional view circular cylindrical rated current contact arrangement of a Circuit breaker or current switch in the closed state, whereby with (1) whose longitudinal axis is designated. A tubular, movable 1st current contact arrangement (K1) and a tubular, Fixed 2nd current contact arrangement (K2) have ends Switch contacts (P4) or (P1), which are inexpensive Welding of profile rings can be produced. On the 1st Current contact arrangement (K1) is also a U-shaped end Arc horn (R1) made of an electrically highly conductive material arranged and on the second current contact arrangement (K2) at the end an arcing horn or a U-shaped conductor loop (R2), the up to opposite switching contacts (P2) and (P3) consists of a bimetal. The inside part of the Bimetal consists of a material with a high Elastic constant, preferably made of steel (2), and the external made of an electrically good conductive material, preferably made of copper (3) or a copper alloy. The Steel component of the current loop (R2) ensures it high radial elasticity; it is shaped so that the Current conductor loop (R2) after a contact separation in the Fig. 2 shape shown relaxed. To improve this The current conductor loop (R2) can be elastic on its basis be sawn on the inside in the radial direction. The Copper component of the bimetal ensures a high electric conductivity. The in the closed state of the Current switch one above the other and by an elastic Deformation of the 1st and 2nd current contact arrangements (K1, K2) Pressed switch contacts (P1) - (P4) are arcing stressed differently. For the little used ones Switch contacts (P1) and (P2) suffice a silver plating while the switch contacts (P3) and (P4) a support from one Have burning material. The current conductor loop (R2) has at the end behind the switch contacts (P1) and (P2) Angled contact end or arcing horn on the arc side (3 ') made of copper. A dashed line (4) through the 1st Current contact arrangement (K1), the switching contacts (P1) - (P4) and the 2nd current contact arrangement (K2) indicates a symmetrical Rung on.

Fig. 2 zeigt Stromkontaktanordnungen des Stromschalters gemäß Fig. 1 im Öffnungszustand, wobei die 1. Stromkontaktanordnung (K1) in Richtung eines Pfeiles (5) nach rechts verschoben ist. Beim Öffnen werden zunächst die Kontaktpaare (P1, P2) getrennt, wodurch der Strom in die Stromleiterschleife (R2) kommutiert, wie es gestrichelt eingezeichnet ist. Nachdem sich die Stromleiterschleife (R2) entspannt hat, trennt auch das Kontaktpaar (P3, P4), so daß ein Lichtbogen (6) entsteht, der durch die asymmetrische Stromführung in der Stromleiterschleife (R2) auf die Lichtbogenhörner (3', R1) getrieben wird. Damit wird der Lichtbogen schnell von der ursprünglichen Kontaktstelle weggetrieben und dabei zunehmend asymmetrisch magnetisch beblasen, so daß seine Brennspannung schnell zunimmt. 2 shows current contact arrangements of the current switch according to Fig. 1 in the open state, the 1st current contact arrangement (K1) is shifted to the right in the direction of an arrow (5). When opening, the contact pairs (P1, P2) are first separated, whereby the current commutates into the current loop (R2), as shown in dashed lines. After the Current conductor loop (R2) has relaxed, that also separates Contact pair (P3, P4), so that an arc (6) arises, the due to the asymmetrical current routing in the conductor loop (R2) on the arcing horns (3 ', R1) is driven. In order to the arc quickly from the original contact point driven away and increasingly asymmetrically magnetic blow so that its burning voltage increases rapidly.
