Definitions

  • the invention relates to an installation switch, in particular universal series installation switch.
  • German utility model DE 297 06 465 U1 discloses a shutter switch, which consists of an electrical series installation switch, which has two switch rockers as standard, is held in a support plate, and which is assembled with a structural unit to form a mechanical lock. This results in the disadvantage that this so changed to a blind switch series installation switch after assembly can only be used as a shutter switch.
  • Another disadvantage is that the assembly to form a mechanical lock consists of several different items for which a corresponding manufacturing, warehousing and assembly device is necessary.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an installation switch in which the Vernegelungsfunktion is easy and at any time um aus, the number of parts required for this is reduced.
  • An advantage of the present invention that even when installing the installation switch in the switch box between a series and a blind switch can be selected.
  • the changing locking of the two paddles is virtually adjustable at the touch of a button. If necessary, this setting can be changed by the installer at any time on site.
  • a particular advantage is that the locking device is accessible from the operating side of the installation switch forth in a simple manner, so that the installation switch can even remain in its installed state.
  • the locking element of the locking device is axially adjustable and rotatably movable. These two degrees of freedom on the one hand in the axial adjustability, the possibility of different positions of the locking element and on the other hand by the rotational mobility creates an advantageous influence on the rockers of the installation switch by the locking element.
  • the axial adjustability and rotational mobility of the locking element is made possible by means of a receiving element for receiving a central part of the locking element, wherein the receiving element is formed so that the locking element with its central part in this receiving element is axially displaceable and also rotatable simultaneously.
  • the locking element has a base body on which the Mitteilteil is arranged as a kind of rotation axis.
  • the base body has at its ends a first and a second blocking element and also holding elements.
  • the blocking elements is arranged at the ends of the main body of the locking element, wherein the central part in the arranged in the switch body receiving element is arranged both as a rotation axis and longitudinally displaceable, these two degrees of freedom are also connected to the locking elements.
  • the holding elements serve in a preferred manner to determine the various positions of the axial adjustability of the locking element.
  • the receiving element is designed for axial displacement of the central part of the locking element along the longitudinal axis of the central part and for rotation of the locking element about the longitudinal axis of the central part, wherein the longitudinal axis of the central part perpendicular to the rocker axis and in the plane of the rocker axis or is arranged in a plane parallel to the rocker axis.
  • This has the particular advantage that the locking element in an already installed switch perpendicular to the rocker axis, which is arranged horizontally, can be inserted from above or from below in a subsequent retrofitting of the installation switch with the locking element in a simple manner.
  • pivoting of the locking element about the longitudinal axis of the central part so mounted for influencing the rocker elements is advantageous, since thus no changes to an already existing series installation switch must be made.
  • the locking element can be adjusted axially in a preferred embodiment of the invention in two positions.
  • One position is the non-functioning condition of the locking element, in which the installation switch fulfills a normal series switch function, i. Both rockers can be actuated independently of each other.
  • the locking element is so adjusted axially to the rocker axis that the arranged at the ends of the body locking element are each arranged under a rocker or under a nose arranged at a rocker end.
  • the mutually facing surfaces of each of the locking elements and the ends or lugs of the rockers have corresponding stop surfaces. This results in an advantageous interference-free interaction of the locking element with the rockers.
  • the holding elements for axially fixing the locking element are formed in at least two different positions. This results in advantageous that the above-described positions of the locking element in the axial direction are fixed. In a first position, the locking element is with its locking elements below the rockers and in a second position outside the pivoting range of the rockers.
  • the locking element is pivoted in the first position of an actuated rocker on the associated locking element about the longitudinal axis of the central part, wherein the other locking piece is in contact with the associated rocker and forms a coupling with the other rocker when actuated.
  • the locking element requires no return spring or other return means, the second is by this coupling an overlapping of the switching functions that are triggered by the rocker actuation excluded. Because the pressed rocker is reset when pressing the other rocker to its original position, before the former triggers a switching operation.
  • the switch body has corresponding to the holding elements of the locking element limiting elements.
  • the definition of the axial adjustment positions of the locking element is advantageously made possible.
  • these limiting elements are each arranged on the receiving element.
  • an advantageous compact design of the locking element with multiple functions is possible.
  • the holding elements are flexible. This offers the advantage that the locking element has many functions with a minimum number of parts.
  • the holding elements and the limiting elements each have corresponding first and second spaced-apart holding surfaces for forming the two axial positions of the locking element. This also offers the advantage of the variety of functions within a part, namely the locking element.
  • the locking element has at least one recess and / or starting points for the operation for axial adjustment. Since the locking element is accessible from the front with an installed switch, it is of great advantage that this approach point for example, a tool is also in the front plane, resulting in an advantageous simple and quick changeover of the function of the locking element.
  • the universal series installation switch according to the invention also has the particular advantage that this series switch can already be provided with the locking element during production, wherein the function of this switch can still be selected and adjusted on site and even when already installed. It is also advantageous if the switch body not only has a receiving element for the locking element, but two opposite. As a result, the position of the locking element can, on the one hand, be adapted to fit the installation site, on the other hand, it is also possible to use a second locking element for special security levels or additional functions such as forced switching.
  • This forced switching is particularly advantageous in shutter switches, as this always an on-position of the switch is made possible, which allow no so-called unlocking a corresponding blind motor, in which both paddles otherwise can remain in the off position. This special function advantageously increases the range of application.
  • FIG. 1 shows an installation switch 1 in a perspective view.
