Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit breaker according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a circuit breaker is known from DE 198 19 242 A1 known. It is understood by circuit breakers, for example, circuit breaker, circuit breaker, motor protection switch and the like.
  • the term "protective switching device” is understood to mean in particular protective switching devices or installation built-in devices.
  • Circuit breakers often have an overload release and a short-circuit release. These two overcurrent trip mechanisms operate independently of each other and trip the circuit breaker in the event of overload or short-circuit current, i. the contacts of the circuit breaker are opened. After tripping and a subsequent elimination of the cause, the circuit breaker can be switched on again. However, to remedy the cause, it is convenient to know whether the circuit breaker has been triggered by an overload current or a short-circuit current.
  • Kopp a circuit breaker is known by the company, in which a so-called reset position is provided on the handle.
  • the handle When the circuit breaker is switched off, the handle does not return to the basic position, but instead into this reset or middle position. From this position the device can not be switched on again.
  • the handle must first be brought by hand to the basic position to be able to switch on the device again. However, the user receives no information about what the actual reason for the shutdown was, ie, whether an overload or a short circuit exists.
  • thermomagnetic circuit breaker which has a display device for selectively displaying the cause of the trip. Independently actuable tripping waves exert both a tripping function and a display function. In an alternative, an indication is given by additional release lever.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to give the user in the case of triggering a circuit breaker information about why the triggering has taken place, wherein a compact structure is to be used.
  • the user can thus visually recognize to which cause the intended triggering of the protective switching device is due. It receives clear information as to whether the circuit breaker has been shut down by an overload current or a short-circuit current.
  • a switching mechanism of the contact device can be held in a freewheeling position by the display device holding the movable triggering element or the switching mechanism directly in a triggering position when displaying the respective triggering event.
  • the circuit breaker In this freewheeling position, the circuit breaker can not be turned on again and closing the contacts is inhibited. Switching to the freewheeling position has the advantage that the circuit breaker can not be accidentally turned on again. Rather, it is conscious to make an additional release.
  • FIG. 1 is in a circuit breaker, the housing 1 is indicated in principle in the drawing and shown in an open state, a short-circuit release 2 is arranged.
  • the short-circuit release 2 has a coil 21 which is connected to a fixed contact 3 of the circuit breaker and detects a short-circuit current.
  • the short-circuit release 2 has an armature 22, which protrudes with its proximal end into the coil 21 and is pulled in the presence of a short circuit due to the magnetic field into the interior of the coil 21.
  • the armature 22 is connected to a plunger 23 which moves a release lever 4 of the switching mechanism of the circuit breaker in the event of a short circuit.
  • the cylindrical armature 22 At its distal end, i. at its the end face opposite the plunger 23, the cylindrical armature 22 has a concentric plate 24. Its diameter is slightly larger than that of the armature 22. Therefore, a shoulder forms, to which a leaf spring 5 engages. It serves to reset the armature 22 in a defined horizontal position before and after the short circuit event. Instead of the plate 24, the armature 22, any other any shoulder or a projection to be formed, to which the leaf spring 5 engages.
  • the anchor 22 here with its plate 24, abuts against a vertically arranged pin 6.
  • This pin 6 is displaceable in the vertical direction. For this purpose, it is guided through a recess 11 on the housing 1. In the case of a short-circuit release protrudes a display portion 61 of the pin 6 from the recess 11 (see. FIG. 2 ). In the in FIG. 1 shown state, the pin 6 is biased by a spring 62 which is supported on a housing portion 12, which also guides the pin 6.
  • the pin 6 also has at its lower, i. the display portion 61 opposite end, a shoulder 63 which is pressed by the spring 62 to the armature 22 and to its plate 24. Thus, the vertical movement of the pin 6 is inhibited upward.
  • the armature 22 is withdrawn from the pin 6 and unlatched with its plunger 23, the trigger lever 4 of the switching mechanism.
  • the pin 6 is no longer held by the shoulder 63 in its normal operating position, but jumps, driven by the spring 62, upwards, as in FIG. 2 is shown.
  • the display section 61 protrudes from the recess 11 of the housing 1. The display section 61 indicates that the circuit breaker was triggered by a short circuit.
  • the pin has a reinforced stop section 64 in a horizontal direction, ie perpendicular to its main extension direction.
  • the armature 22 of the short-circuit release 2 is pressed against this reinforced abutment portion 64 by the leaf spring 5.
  • the trigger lever 4 and thus the switching mechanism is held in a freewheeling position in which the circuit breaker can not be turned on again. Only by pressing the pin 6 vertically down to the normal operating position of the armature 22 jumps back through the leaf spring 5 in its initial position and the release lever 4 in the Verklinkungsposition. The circuit breaker can then be turned on again. This ensures that the pin 6 is again in its normal operating position when it is switched on again and consequently fulfills its function as intended in the event of a renewed short circuit.
  • the display of the short-circuit release by the display section 61 allows the user to immediately recognize which type of fault led to the shutdown and whether a safe restart is possible.
  • a circuit breaker in the OFF state (tripped state) and a display section protruding from the housing must be short-circuited in the circuit. The user is thus informed of a possible error in his system and can react accordingly, for example by consulting a specialist.
  • a separate display for the overload release is therefore not necessary, since the cause of the trip can be clearly removed from the display device for the short-circuit release.
  • the overload release could be provided with a display device, while the short-circuit release has none.
  • the presence of an overload current is displayed directly. Indirectly, this also indicates that a short-circuit must have been present or was switched off manually, if the circuit breaker has tripped and an overload event is not displayed.
  • FIGS Figures 3 and 4 Another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS Figures 3 and 4 shown. It relates to an overload release of a circuit breaker with display device.
  • the overload release including the mechanical display device in a normal operating state, ie before an overload event.
  • the display device comprises a pin 106 which is guided through a recess 111 and a housing portion 112 in the housing 101 of the circuit breaker.
  • the pin 106 also has a display portion 161 and a spring 162 which biases the pin 106 in the non-release position.
  • the pin 106 has a projection 163 extending perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the pin 106. This projection 163 moves the release lever 104 of the switching mechanism of the circuit breaker, not shown further.
  • a pawl 120 is rotatably mounted on the housing 101.
  • the pawl 120 has a nose 121, which engages in the non-triggering position of the trigger lever 104 and the pin 106 in a recess 164 of the pin 106. In this position, the pawl 120 is held by a sprue spring 122, which on the pawl 120 is molded and is supported on the release lever 104 or a housing portion.
  • the pawl 120 has a projection 123 on which in the in FIG. 3 shown non-trip position of the components a bimetallic strip 130 is applied.
  • the pin 106 is held by the pawl 120 and in particular its nose 121 in the depressed position (non-triggering position) in which the display portion 161 is not or hardly visible to the operator.
  • the bimetal strip 130 now bends according to the current intensity and its duration of action and thus disconnects the switching mechanism. This is done by cooperation of the bimetallic strip 130 and the release lever 104. After triggering, the bimetallic strip bends back into its normal position.
  • the pin 106 driven by the spring 162, springs upwards, so that the display section 161 becomes visible to the user.
  • This tripping or Entklinkungsposition of the components involved is in FIG. 4 played.
  • the projection 163 of the pin 106 holds the release lever 104 in a freewheeling position in which the circuit breaker can not be turned on again. Only when the pin 106 is pressed down on its display section 161, the release lever 104 can leave the freewheeling position, so that the circuit breaker can be turned on again. This means that only by a conscious action of the operator of the circuit breaker is ready to start again.
  • the user can immediately recognize which type of fault, in this case overload, led to shutdown and whether a safe switch-on is possible again.
  • a circuit breaker in the OFF position and an "extended" pin 106 the user can safely close the circuit again, because there is only a temporary overload of the circuit. After switching off the inadmissibly high power consumption, the circuit is in order again.
  • a further alternative of a protective switching device according to the invention is that a separate display device is provided both for the short-circuit release and for the overload release. This would have the advantage that also the manual triggering could be distinguished from a tripping by short circuit or overload.
