Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rocker switch for a Switch fuse unit according to the preamble of the claim 1 and a switch fuse unit according to the preamble of claim 11.
  • switch fuse units and used in these Shift paddles, fuse inserts in their fuse plugs can be used in many different ways Versions in both private and commercial buildings, especially in buildings where machines are electrical operated, used. It is also possible such switch fuse units or components like that Switch rocker, direct for the electrical protection of electrical operated machines on or in machine elements insert or housing.
  • a switch fuse unit with a rocker switch this Genus is e.g. known from DE 34 06 815 C2.
  • Such Switch fuse units serve the circuit and thus the electrical supply of machines and devices automatically interrupt when the current or the Power in the circuit a certain fixed value exceed.
  • the electrical machines and devices or external specifications e.g. Security requirements, can be adjusted in the switch fuse units or fuse inserts in the fuse plugs are used, the different parameters exhibit.
  • switch fuse units serve the purpose of especially when necessary repairs to the electrical Devices and machines to reliably interrupt manually.
  • the rocker switch which is the safety plug with the appropriate fuse link, and the between an on position and an off position pivotable in a housing of the switch fuse unit is stored, adjusted to its off position.
  • the fuse links used in a switch fuse unit usually fuses that are defective or melted due to excessive load, it is advantageous to functionality with a monitoring device to monitor the fuse link. Under the Monitoring the functionality of the fuse link is both monitoring of any defects in the Fuse link itself as well as monitoring a poor contact of the fuse link in one Understand the main circuit of the switch fuse unit.
  • a monitoring circuit which the input and the output of the switch fuse unit next to the main circuit running through the fuse link bridged over a very high impedance connection.
  • the Monitoring circuitry is usually considered a lamp Monitoring display integrated.
  • the very high-resistance monitoring circuit only flows a noteworthy current when the low impedance connection of the Main circuit is interrupted, e.g. by melting the fuse link.
  • Other monitoring systems are also possible, which are all based on the fact that an interruption in the main circuit noticeable changes occur in the monitoring circuit with a Monitoring display. Is problematic in the positioning of the control display in this context.
  • a fuse holder assembly which has a display has, the display being housed in the same component as a associated securing element.
  • the structural design of a generic rocker switch is also not disclosed in this document.
  • the arrangement of the display in the rocker switch the display very well in the structural Structure of the switch fuse unit integrated, without additional To require space.
  • the display can be in the rocker switch be integrated so that it is protected from the outside and Damage can be avoided.
  • rocker switch is compared to the fuse plug a much less wear-resistant part. This will make the expected service life of the control display compared to a Accommodation in the safety plug noticeably increased.
  • the main advantage of the rocker switch is that it is more compact Construction of the switch fuse unit is possible.
  • An installation in the case would increase the height of the case beyond the range of the rocker switch require the Control display to accommodate in the housing.
  • a side Placing the control display in the housing would result in that the switch fuse unit is larger in this direction
  • the switch fuse unit is larger in this direction
  • furthermore that disadvantages in the installation of the Switch fuse unit would have to be accepted, because further areas of the switch fuse unit are visible, i.e. should not be covered by other elements.
  • On Installation of the switch fuse unit in which only the minimal Area around the operating handle of the rocker switch visible is, is against, especially for optical reasons, very desirable.
  • control display is arranged in the housing to the fact that they are both in an on position and in an off position of the rocker switch is visible. From there For safety reasons, the monitoring circuit in the off position the control indicator lights up generally not in the off position regardless of the functionality of the fuse link. It is therefore possible that especially the untrained Operator due to the non-illuminated monitoring display in Connection to an open circuit in the off position is irritated and possibly functional Parts, in particular a functional fuse link, exchanges unnecessarily. Such an irritation of the Operator is avoided by the arrangement according to the invention when the control indicator is in the off position is not visible.
  • control display arranged in an inner region of the rocker switch. This is the control display is protected so that damage, be it through external intervention by the operator, be it through contacts with other parts of the switch fuse unit, be avoided.
  • the display is preferably behind a transparent one Window arranged, or at least the rocker switch is partially made of transparent material, behind which the control display is visible to the outside.
  • control display is interchangeable due to the arrangement inside the rocker switch should not be impaired, in particular e.g. the The above-mentioned window or sections of the rocker switch are open to enable access to the control display if necessary.
  • control displays are usually one have extremely long lifespan and that the lifespan determining duty cycle is short, are such exchanges only extremely rarely necessary, it can therefore also be in favor a simpler design for interchangeability the control display can be dispensed with.
  • control display near a Operating handle, especially at the off position to arrange the facing side of the rocker switch.
  • control display in the switch rocker switch on position in a central, highly visible position while going through Parts of the case are automatically covered as soon as the Shift rocker is in its off position. So there is no need themselves additional covering devices, resulting in a simplified structural design of both the rocker switch and also leads the switch fuse unit.
  • the Switching rocker also devices for the monitoring circuit, in particular contact elements, advantageously spring elements, the monitoring circuit in the on position close the rocker switch and in the off position Interrupt the rocker switch.
  • contact elements advantageously spring elements
  • the devices for the monitoring circuit are advantageous also arranged inside the rocker switch, preferably in the control display area.
  • the interior is in essentially completed and only has contact openings with it contacted the contact elements arranged in the housing can be.
  • the contact and / or connection elements that make up the devices for the monitoring circuit in the on position contact the rocker switch are preferred elements of the Main circuit. This prevents additional Elements must be provided. Costs and susceptibility to errors the switch fuse unit are thus lowered.
  • At least one contact device preferably to provide a spring device with at least one contact element of the monitoring circuit is in contact when the rocker switch is in its on position occupies.
  • Fig. 1 is an embodiment of a circuit breaker unit 1 with a housing 2 and a rocker switch 30 in the switched-on position shown.
  • the rocker switch 30 is a fuse plug 10 inserted, the fuse link 20th receives.
  • the fuse link is in the switched-on position of the rocker switch 30 20 by contact elements 70, 71, 72, 73 with a Input and an output connected so that the main circuit closed is.
  • the fuse link 20 is thereby a spring device 98 against the direct contact elements 70 or 71 and 72 pressed.
  • the contact element 70 designed as a spring fulfills in the essential three functions. Via the contact element 70 the electronics arranged in the switch fuse unit contacted. The element 70 designed as a spring also holds the fuse link 20 in the desired position relative to the fuse plug 10 and also fixes the Position of the fuse plug 10 in the rocker switch 30.
  • the monitoring circuit also uses the contact elements 70, 71 of the main circuit on one side and closes the monitoring circuit via further contact elements 50, 52, 53 and a high-resistance resistor 51. Die Contact elements 50 and 52 and the resistor 51 are in an interior 32 of the rocker switch 30.
  • the contact elements 50, 52 and 53 are also spring elements, so that reliable contacting is ensured is.
  • a lamp 35 In the interior 32 of the rocker switch 30 there is also an optical one Control display, a lamp 35, here only schematically indicated, arranged. As soon as the main circuit is interrupted is, in particular by melting the fuse link 20, flows through the monitoring circuit sufficient current so that the control indicator 35 lights up. This indicates a defect in the main circuit.
  • the control display 35 is behind a transparent window 33 positioned so that the operator in the control lamp Switch rocker 30 made of otherwise non-transparent material able to see.
  • the interior 32 of the rocker switch 30, in which, as described above, both the lamp 35 and some devices of the Monitoring circuit are arranged is essentially completely closed, causing damage to the devices excluded are.
  • the interior 32 only has two contact openings 56 and 57 to establish contact between to enable the contact devices 52 and 53 or 50 and 70.
  • the contact between elements 50 and 70 is always closed as soon as a fuse plug 10 with a fuse link 20 is inserted into the rocker switch 30.
  • Fig. 2 shows the rocker switch 30 in its off position. It it can be seen that both the main circuit and the Monitoring circuit are interrupted twice, namely on the one hand between the contact elements 70 and 71 and between the contact element 72 and the fuse link 20 and on the other hand on the shared contact elements 70 and 71 and on the contact elements 52 and 53.
  • the resilient contact element 53 engages in a recess 80 in the outer wall of the inner region 32 of the rocker switch 30 and is positioned reliably.
  • connection between the contact elements 50 and 70 is still available because the fuse plug 10 together with the fuse link 20 still in the working position the rocker switch 30 is located.
  • control display 35 both by the operating handle 31 of the rocker switch 30 and covered by the housing 2 to the outside, so that the control display 35 is not visible to the viewer is.
  • the control display 35 is only in the switch-on position the rocker switch 30 visible because they are then in one central position within an opening 90 of the housing 2 through which the operating handle of the rocker switch 30th protrudes.
  • Both the operating handle 31 of the rocker switch 30 and that Handle part 11 of the security plug 10 have through openings 95 and 96, which are inserted into the rocker switch 30 End position of the fuse plug 10 against each other are staggered, i.e. not in alignment.
  • This Through openings 95, 96 serve to carry out a Locking device (not shown).
  • the safety plug must be used to carry out the locking device 10 from its end position in the rocker switch 30 are pulled out so that the through openings 95 and 96th at least partially cursed. A locking device, which are then pushed through the through openings 95, 96 prevents the safety plug 10 from being pushed back in its final position. If the fuse plug 10 However, the rocker switch can not be in its end position 30 can not be pivoted into their on position, because Parts of the fuse plug 10 against parts of the housing 2 bump and flipping the rocker switch 30 into the on position prevent. This makes the rocker switch 30 reliable kept in their off position, which is mainly from Importance is when machines or electrical devices that are supplied via the switch fuse unit 1, repaired Need to become. A e.g. caused by vibrations or accidental switching on and thus a risk to the Operator is reliably avoided.
