Definitions
- the present invention relates to a switching contact arrangement comprising a contact carrier and a contact lever pivotable about a pivot point on the contact carrier and a leaf spring designed as a contact force spring for pressing the contact lever to a mating contact.
- a switch contact arrangement of this type has become known as part of a low-voltage circuit breaker by US Patent 5,517,164.
- the force acting on the switching contacts of circuit breakers contact force is applied by the fact that the mentioned contact force springs are tensioned during switching. This is done by a belonging to the circuit breaker drive device whose switching path over the intended life of the circuit breaker is substantially constant. In contrast, increases by burning the switch contacts the way the contact lever, whereby the contact force decreases according to the burnup. If it is to be ensured that a sufficient contact force is achieved even towards the end of the service life of a switching contact arrangement, a suitable dimensioning of the contact force springs can lead to an undesirably high contact force in the new state of the switching contact arrangement. This results in a correspondingly high energy requirement of the drive device.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a circuit breaker in which the contact force is less dependent on the burning of the contacts.
- this object is achieved in a switch contact arrangement of the type mentioned in that the contact force spring is pivotally arranged like a rocker, such that the ends of the contact force spring abut the contact lever and a pivot bearing of the contact force spring between the pivot point of the contact lever and its contact-forming end portion is arranged ,
- the contact force of the switching contact arrangement according to the invention does not follow the known characteristics of a helical compression spring or a one-armed leaf spring according to the above US 5,517,164 , Rather, the dependence on the contact erosion is largely reduced and can be largely eliminated by optimized design of the geometry.
- the determination of the contact force is essentially by a suitable choice of bias. This eliminates the need for oversizing the contact force spring and the drive device, which affects the life of the circuit breaker low.
- the pivot bearing of the contact force spring without fixed connection with the contact carrier in response to the respective spring force along a sliding surface located on the contact carrier is movable. Due to the non-stationary storage, the bearing point of the leaf spring assembly changes depending on the position of the contact lever.
- the pivot bearing of the contact force spring is formed by a voltage applied to the substantially flat sliding surface on the contact carrier kink of the contact force spring.
- the inventive design of a switching contact arrangement is particularly suitable for circuit breakers with high rated current, which have several contact levers in each pole.
- the manufacture and assembly of the corresponding number of contact force springs can be simplified in that the contact force springs of all contact levers are part of a one-piece leaf spring.
- FIG. 1 shows a switching contact arrangement with a plurality of contact levers partially in a section II-II in FIG. 2 ,
- FIG. 2 shows the switch contact arrangement according to the FIG. 1 overlooking the parallel contact lever.
- FIG. 3 is a detail shown on an enlarged scale of the switch contact arrangement according to the Figures 1 and 2 ,
- FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show a further embodiment in illustrations showing the FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 correspond.
- FIG. 7 shows a leaf spring having contact force springs for a plurality of contact lever in a perspective view.
- the in the FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 illustrated switching contact arrangement comprises a contact carrier 1 which is mounted in a pivot bearing, not shown, by means of bearing journals 12.
- Contact lever 2 are pivotally connected to the contact carrier 1 about a pivot point 11.
- the contact lever 2 have a contact-making end portion 18 and are connected at the opposite end by merely indicated flexible conductor 13 electrically conductive with a lower connecting rail 4.
- rocker-like contact force springs 8 are for ensure that the contact-making end parts 18 of the contact lever 2 in the switched-on state of the switching contact arrangement abut with sufficient contact force against a mating contact 5 which carries an arcing horn 3.
- the mating contact 5 may be formed by one end of an upper connecting rail arranged parallel to the lower connecting rail 4.
- FIG. 1 is also shown schematically a known drive device 6, which acts by means of a lever chain 7 on the contact carrier 1 and brings this in the on or off position. Together with protective and control devices not shown, said assemblies form a low-voltage circuit breaker 22, as indicated by a dot-dashed frame.
- the contact force springs 8 of the individual contact lever 2 may be individual, designed as a leaf spring parts, but are part of a contiguous, ie one-piece leaf spring. How closer the FIGS. 1 and 3 can be seen, the contact force springs 8 have an approximately centrally disposed bend 20, which forms a pivot bearing 10 together with a formed on the contact carrier 1 sliding surface 19. Essential to the desired function of the switching contact arrangement is the position of the pivot bearing 10 between the pivot point 11 of the contact lever 2 and an upper end leg 14 of the contact force spring 8. This end leg 14 is located on the contact-making end portion 18 of the contact lever 2, while an approximately equally shaped end leg 14 on opposite end of the contact force spring 8 abuts on the contact lever 2 approximately where the pivot point 11 is located.
- This arrangement has the property that the contact force between the contact-making end portion 18 and the mating contact 5 is largely independent from the relative position of the contact lever 2 to the contact carrier 1 is. Accordingly, the influence of the burnup of the co-operating pads on the magnitude of the contact force is small.
- the position of the upper angled end portion 14 of the contact force spring 8 is essential given dimensions and properties of the cooperating parts.
- a mounted on the contact carrier 2 Gleitbutzen 9 is provided.
- the pivot bearing 10 of the leaf spring assembly 8 is freely movable without firm connection with the contact carrier 1 along the sliding surface 19 and depending on the voltage of the contact force spring 8 only limited by serving as an abutment Gleitbutzen. 9
- rocker-like contact force spring 8 is located in the space between the substituted rocker-like contact force spring 8 and is thereby protected against the effects of switching arcs.
- FIGS. 4 to 7 shown further embodiment of a switching contact arrangement with a plurality of contact levers 2 (multi-contact system) differs in the features described below from those of the in the FIGS. 1 to 3 from the example shown. With regard to the remaining embodiment is based on the description of the embodiment of the FIGS. 1 to 3 directed.
- the Gleitbutzen 9 serves as a means for positioning the rocker-like contact force spring 8 is in the in the FIGS. 4 to 7 illustrated second embodiment of the invention, the upper end leg 14 angled in the direction of the contact lever.
- the contact lever 2 are provided with a recess 15, in which the end leg 14 engages.
- the contact force springs 8 are aligned with respect to the associated contact levers.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schaltkontaktanordnung mit einem Kontaktträger und einem an dem Kontaktträger um einen Drehpunkt gelenkig bewegbaren Kontakthebel sowie mit einer als Blattfeder ausgebildeten Kontaktkraftfeder zum Anpressen des Kontakthebels an einen Gegenkontakt.The present invention relates to a switching contact arrangement comprising a contact carrier and a contact lever pivotable about a pivot point on the contact carrier and a leaf spring designed as a contact force spring for pressing the contact lever to a mating contact.
Eine Schaltkontaktanordnung dieser Art ist als Bestandteil eines Niederspannungs-Leistungsschalters durch die US- Patentschrift 5,517,164 bekannt geworden.A switch contact arrangement of this type has become known as part of a low-voltage circuit breaker by US Patent 5,517,164.
Die auf die Schaltkontakte von Leistungsschaltern wirkende Kontaktkraft wird dadurch aufgebracht, dass die erwähnten Kontaktkraftfedern während des Einschaltens gespannt werden. Dies geschieht durch eine zu dem Leistungsschalter gehörende Antriebsvorrichtung, deren Schaltweg über die vorgesehene Lebensdauer des Leistungsschalters im wesentlichen konstant ist. Demgegenüber vergrößert sich durch Abbrand der Schaltkontakte der Weg der Kontakthebel, wodurch die Kontaktkraft entsprechend dem Abbrand abnimmt. Soll sichergestellt sein, dass auch gegen Ende der Lebensdauer einer Schaltkontaktanordnung eine ausreichende Kontaktkraft erzielt wird, so kann eine entsprechende Bemessung der Kontaktkraftfedern zu einer unerwünscht hohen Kontaktkraft im Neuzustand der Schaltkontaktanordnung führen. Dies hat einen entsprechend hohen Energiebedarf der Antriebsvorrichtung zur Folge.The force acting on the switching contacts of circuit breakers contact force is applied by the fact that the mentioned contact force springs are tensioned during switching. This is done by a belonging to the circuit breaker drive device whose switching path over the intended life of the circuit breaker is substantially constant. In contrast, increases by burning the switch contacts the way the contact lever, whereby the contact force decreases according to the burnup. If it is to be ensured that a sufficient contact force is achieved even towards the end of the service life of a switching contact arrangement, a suitable dimensioning of the contact force springs can lead to an undesirably high contact force in the new state of the switching contact arrangement. This results in a correspondingly high energy requirement of the drive device.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Leistungsschalter anzugeben, bei dem die Kontaktkraft weniger stark vom Abbrand der Kontakte abhängt.The present invention has for its object to provide a circuit breaker in which the contact force is less dependent on the burning of the contacts.
Durch die Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Schaltkontaktanordnung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass die Kontaktkraftfeder wippenartig schwenkbar angeordnet ist, derart, dass die Enden der Kontaktkraftfeder am Kontakthebel anliegen und ein Schwenklager der Kontaktkraftfeder zwischen dem Drehpunkt des Kontakthebels und seinem kontaktgebenden Endteil angeordnet ist.With the invention, this object is achieved in a switch contact arrangement of the type mentioned in that the contact force spring is pivotally arranged like a rocker, such that the ends of the contact force spring abut the contact lever and a pivot bearing of the contact force spring between the pivot point of the contact lever and its contact-forming end portion is arranged ,
Die Kontaktkraft der erfindungsgemäßen Schaltkontaktanordnung folgt nicht der bekannten Charakteristik einer SchraubenDruckfeder oder einer einarmigen Blattfeder nach der genannten
Vorzugsweise ist das Schwenklager der Kontaktkraftfeder ohne feste Verbindung mit dem Kontaktträger in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Federkraft entlang einer am Kontaktträger befindlichen Gleitfläche beweglich ist. Durch die nicht ortsgebundene Lagerung verändert sich der Lagerpunkt der Blattfederanordnung in Abhängigkeit von der Position des Kontakthebels.Preferably, the pivot bearing of the contact force spring without fixed connection with the contact carrier in response to the respective spring force along a sliding surface located on the contact carrier is movable. Due to the non-stationary storage, the bearing point of the leaf spring assembly changes depending on the position of the contact lever.
Es erweist sich als vorteilhaft, wenn das Schwenklager der Kontaktkraftfeder durch einen an der im wesentlichen ebenen Gleitfläche am Kontaktträger anliegenden Knick der Kontaktkraftfeder gebildet ist.It proves to be advantageous if the pivot bearing of the contact force spring is formed by a voltage applied to the substantially flat sliding surface on the contact carrier kink of the contact force spring.
Um trotz des relativ zum Kontaktträger verschiebbaren Schwenklagers der Kontaktkraftfeder eine definierte Kraftwirkung sicherzustellen, empfiehlt es sich, die relative Bewegung der Kontaktkraftfeder zum Kontakthebel einzuschränken oder auf einen bestimmten Punkt zu beziehen. Dies kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass als Widerlager der Kontaktkraftfeder ein am Kontaktträger sitzender Gleitbutzen vorgesehen ist. Gleichfalls als gut geeignet erweist es sich, wenn zur Bildung eines Widerlagers der Kontaktkraftfeder ein Ende derselben abgebogen ist und zur Aufnahme des abgebogenen Endes am Kontakthebel eine Ausnehmung angeordnet ist.In order to ensure a defined force effect in spite of the relative to the contact carrier displaceable pivot bearing of the contact force spring, it is advisable to restrict the relative movement of the contact force spring to the contact lever or to refer to a specific point. This can be achieved that is provided as an abutment of the contact force spring sitting on a contact carrier Gleitbutzen. Likewise, it proves to be well, if one end of the same is bent to form an abutment of the contact force spring and a recess is arranged for receiving the bent end on the contact lever.
Wie einleitend erwähnt, gehört es zum Anliegen der Erfindung, den Energiebedarf zur Betätigung der Schaltkontaktanordnung eines Leistungsschalters gering zu halten. Hierzu kann dadurch beigetragen werden, dass am Kontaktträger und am Kontakthebel versetzt einander gegenüberstehende Vorsprünge vorgesehen sind in einer derartigen Anordnung, dass die Federkraft beim Einschalten der Schaltkontaktanordnung gegen Ende der Einschaltbewegung ansteigt. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die von einer Antriebsvorrichtung zu liefernde Antriebskraft bei der Berührung der Kontakthebel mit ihrem Gegenkontakt weniger steil ansteigt und bereits vorhandene kinetische Energie genutzt werden kann, die benötigte Spannung der Kontaktkraftfedern im eingeschalteten Zustand der Schaltkontaktanordnung zu erreichen.As mentioned in the introduction, it is the concern of the invention to keep the energy consumption for the actuation of the switching contact arrangement of a circuit breaker low. For this purpose, it may be contributed by the fact that offset protrusions are provided on the contact carrier and the contact lever in such an arrangement that the spring force increases when switching contact arrangement against the end of the switch-on. This has the consequence that the driving force to be supplied by a drive device increases less sharply when touching the contact lever with its mating contact and already existing kinetic energy can be used to achieve the required voltage of the contact force springs in the on state of the switch contact arrangement.
Die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung eines Schaltkontaktanordnung ist besonders für Leistungsschalter mit hohem Nennstrom geeignet, die in jedem Pol mehrere Kontakthebel aufweisen. Die Herstellung und die Montage der entsprechenden Anzahl von Kontaktkraftfedern können dadurch vereinfacht werden, dass die Kontaktkraftfedern aller Kontakthebel Bestandteil einer einteiligen Blattfeder sind.The inventive design of a switching contact arrangement is particularly suitable for circuit breakers with high rated current, which have several contact levers in each pole. The manufacture and assembly of the corresponding number of contact force springs can be simplified in that the contact force springs of all contact levers are part of a one-piece leaf spring.

Um sicher zu stellen, dass die benötigte Kontaktkraft entsteht, ist bei gegebenen Abmessungen und Eigenschaften der zusammenwirkenden Teile die Position des oberen abgewinkelten Endteiles 14 der Kontaktkraftfeder 8 wesentlich.

Das Schwenklager 10 der Blattfederanordnung 8 ist ohne feste Verbindung mit dem Kontaktträger 1 entlang der Gleitfläche 19 frei beweglich und in Abhängigkeit von der Spannung der Kontaktkraftfeder 8 lediglich begrenzt durch den als Widerlager dienenden Gleitbutzen 9.To ensure that the required contact force is formed, the position of the upper
