Description
Die Erfindung betrifft im Allgemeinen einen Stromunterbrecher für elektrische Versorgungsleitungen, insbesondere Energieleitungen oder Batteriekabel, von Kraftfahrzeugen mit einem ersten Anschlusselement, mit einem mit dem ersten Anschlusselement verbindbaren zweiten Anschlusselement und mit einem in einem leitenden Zustand des Stromunterbrechers zwischen dem ersten Anschlusselement und dem zweiten Anschlusselement verlaufenden Strompfad.The invention generally relates to a circuit breaker for electrical supply lines, in particular power lines or battery cables, of motor vehicles with a first connection element, with a connectable to the first connection element second connection element and with a running in a conductive state of the circuit breaker between the first connection element and the second connection element current path.
Stromkreisunterbrecher für Kraftfahrzeuge sind hinlänglich bekannt. Beispielsweise ist in der
Ein weiterer Stromunterbrecher zum Unterbrechen von mindestens zwei Strompfaden ist aus der
Zum Unterbrechen wird dabei im Stromunterbrecher ein bestimmter Querschnitt im Anschlusselement des jeweiligen Stromkreises zerstört, so dass der Strompfad unterbrochen ist. Zum Zerstören wird beispielsweise ein chemisches Gemisch verwendet, das an dem Querschnitt angeordnet ist und dem Zünden den Querschnitt zerstört.To interrupt a particular cross section in the connection element of the respective circuit is destroyed in the circuit breaker, so that the current path is interrupted. For destruction, for example, a chemical mixture is used which is arranged on the cross section and destroys the cross section of the ignition.
Die bekannten Stromunterbrecher haben diverse Nachteile. Elemente des Stromunterbrechers werden zunächst dauerhaft zerstört. Weiterhin sind zum Unterbrechen des Strompfades aufwändige Elemente zur Messung des im zu zerstörenden Element fließenden Stromes und zur Zündung des chemischen Gemisches notwendig, so dass die Stromunterbrecher teuer herzustellen sind.The known circuit breakers have various disadvantages. Elements of the circuit breaker are first permanently destroyed. Furthermore, expensive elements for measuring the current flowing in the element to be destroyed and for igniting the chemical mixture are necessary for interrupting the current path, so that the circuit breaker are expensive to produce.
Ausgehend von den zuvor aufgezeigten Nachteilen lag der Erfindung die technische Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Stromunterbrecher für elektrische Versorgungsleitungen zur Verfügung zu stellen, der einerseits günstig in der Herstellung ist und andererseits einen fehlerfreien Betrieb gewährleistet.Based on the above-mentioned disadvantages of the invention, the technical object of the invention was to provide a circuit breaker for electrical supply lines available, on the one hand low in the production and on the other hand ensures a fault-free operation.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass gemäß dem Anspruch 1, eine durch von zumindest einem Anschlusselement abgegebener Jouleschen Wärme thermisch aktivierbare pyrotechnische Trenneinheit an mindestens einem der Anschlusselemente vorgesehen ist und dass mittels der aktivierten pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit die Verbindung zwischen den Anschlusselementen lösbar ist.This object is achieved in that according to
Dabei kann die Verbindung der Anschlusselemente durch Stoffschluss hergestellt sein. Beispielsweise könnte das zweite Anschlusselement durch Verkleben mit dem ersten Anschlusselement verbunden sein. Dann kann insbesondere das zweite Anschlusselement eine einfache Geometrie aufweisen.In this case, the connection of the connection elements can be made by material connection. For example, the second connection element could be connected by gluing to the first connection element. Then, in particular, the second connection element may have a simple geometry.
Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Anschlusselemente kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden sind. Dann kann die Verbindung durch die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit insbesondere zerstörungsfrei gelöst werden.It is particularly preferred if the connection elements are non-positively connected to each other. Then the connection can be solved by the pyrotechnic separation unit in particular non-destructive.
Erfindungsgemäß ist erkannt worden, dass eine pyrotechnische Trenneinheit - passiv - durch die durch den durch die Anschlusselemente fließenden elektrischen Strom erzeugte Temperatur aktiviert werden kann. Jeder elektrische Widerstand R erzeugt eine Joulesche Wärme Q, die proportional zum Produkt aus dem Widerstand R und dem Quadrat des durch ihn fließenden Stromes I ist (Q - R * I2). In Abhängigkeit der erzeugten Wärme steigt dann die Temperatur der Anschlusselemente. Somit kann der Widerstand des ersten und/oder des zweiten Anschlusselements so angepasst werden, dass bei einem bestimmten Strom und nach einer bestimmten Zeit eine bestimmte Aktivierungstemperatur der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit erreicht wird. Dabei zeichnet sich ein erfindungsgemäßer Stromunterbrecher besonders durch seine kompakte und kostengünstige Herstellung aus.According to the invention, it has been recognized that a pyrotechnic separation unit - passive - can be activated by the temperature generated by the electrical current flowing through the connection elements. Each electrical resistance R produces a Joule heat Q which is proportional to the product of the resistance R and the square of the current I flowing through it (Q - R * I 2 ). Depending on the heat generated then increases the temperature of the connection elements. Thus, the resistance of the first and / or the second connection element can be adjusted so that at a certain current and after a certain time, a certain activation temperature of the pyrotechnic separation unit is achieved. In this case, an inventive circuit breaker is characterized by its compact and cost-effective production.
Beispielsweise kann die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit so ausgelegt sein, dass sie zwischen 160°C und 195°C, insbesondere bei 170°C zündet. Somit wäre eine Dauerbetriebstemperatur des Stromunterbrechers zwischen 100°C und 125°C, insbesondere bei 115°C möglich. Natürlich können auch höhere oder niedrigere Temperaturniveaus, abhängig von der Auslegung der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit, realisiert werden. Den Temperaturen ist jeweils, durch den oben erläuterten Zusammenhang, eine Stromstärke, im Abhängigkeit vom Querschnitt der Elemente und der Dauer der Ströme, zugeordnet. Darüber läßt sich, eventuell in geringem Maße beeinflusst durch die äußeren klimatischen Bedingungen, die bei der Auslegung zu berücksichtigen sind, ein Aktivierungsstrom des Stromunterbrechers justieren.For example, the pyrotechnic separation unit may be designed so that it ignites between 160 ° C and 195 ° C, in particular at 170 ° C. Thus, a continuous operating temperature of the circuit breaker between 100 ° C and 125 ° C, in particular at 115 ° C is possible. Of course, higher or lower temperature levels, depending on the design of the pyrotechnic separation unit, can be realized. The temperatures are each, by the above-described context, a current, depending on the cross-section of the elements and the duration of the currents assigned. In addition, possibly influenced to a small extent by the external climatic conditions, which are to be considered in the interpretation, adjust an activation current of the circuit breaker.
Als pyrotechnische Trenneinheit lassen sich beispielsweise solche Mischungen verwenden, wie sie in der
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist mindestens das erste Anschlusselement eine erste Aufnahme auf. In dieser Aufnahme kann die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit angeordnet werden.In a particularly preferred embodiment, at least the first connection element has a first receptacle on. In this recording, the pyrotechnic separation unit can be arranged.
Besonders einfach läßt sich die erste Aufnahme einstückig aus dem ersten Anschlusselement formen. Dabei kann die erste Aufnahme ein aus dem ersten Anschlusselement gezogener Topf sein.The first receptacle can be formed integrally from the first connection element in a particularly simple manner. In this case, the first receptacle may be a pot pulled out of the first connection element.
Alternativ kann die erste Aufnahme aus mindestens zwei Aufnahmeelementen gebildet sein. Somit kann beispielsweise ein erstes Aufnahmeelement aus dem ersten Anschlusselement einstückig geformt werden und ein zweites Aufnahmeelement, beispielsweise eine Hülse, später an dem ersten Aufnahmeelement angeordnet werden. In dem zweiten Aufnahmeelement kann dabei zuvor die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit angeordnet werden, wobei das Verfahren, das zum Anbringen des zweiten Aufnahmeelementes an das erste Aufnahmeelement verwendet wird nicht zu einer Erwärmung bis zur Aktivierungstemperatur der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit führt. Beispielsweise können Verfahren wie Reibschweißen, Rotationsreibschweißen, Löten oder Kleben angewendet werden.Alternatively, the first receptacle can be formed from at least two receiving elements. Thus, for example, a first receiving element of the first connection element can be integrally formed and a second receiving element, such as a sleeve, later be arranged on the first receiving element. The pyrotechnic separation unit can be arranged beforehand in the second receiving element, the method used for attaching the second receiving element to the first receiving element not leading to heating up to the activation temperature of the pyrotechnic separation unit. For example, methods such as friction welding, rotary friction welding, soldering or gluing can be used.
Weiterhin kann das zweite Anschlusselement eine zweite Aufnahme aufweisen. Somit kann die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit entweder in der ersten Aufnahme, der zweiten Aufnahme oder in beiden Aufnahmen angeordnet sein. Es kann auch eine zweiteilige pyrotechnische Trenneinheit vorgesehen werden, wobei jeweils ein Teil in jeweils einer Aufnahme angeordnet sein kann. Der Begriff zweite Aufnahme muß dabei nicht zwangsläufig das Vorhandensein einer ersten Aufnahme bedeuten, so dass auch nur am zweiten Anschlusselement eine Aufnahme vorgesehen sein kann.Furthermore, the second connection element may have a second receptacle. Thus, the pyrotechnic separation unit can be arranged either in the first shot, the second shot or in both shots. It is also possible to provide a two-part pyrotechnic separation unit, it being possible for one part to be arranged in each case in one receptacle. The term second recording does not necessarily mean the presence of a first recording, so that only on second connection element may be provided a receptacle.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann das zweite Anschlusselement einen mit der ersten Aufnahme korrespondierenden Vorsprung aufweisen, derart dass im leitenden Zustand des Stromunterbrechers der Vorsprung kraftschlüssig in der ersten Aufnahme angeordnet ist. Somit kann die erste Aufnahme die Funktion zur Aufnahme der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit und zur kraftschlüssigen Verbindung mit dem zweiten Anschlusselement gleichzeitig übernehmen. Alternativ könnten auch getrennte Aufnahmen für die Trenneinheit und die kraftschlüssige Verbindung vorgesehen sein. Auch etwaige weitere Möglichkeiten, die Anschlusselemente kraftschlüssig zu verbinden, sind von dieser Erfindung mit erfasst.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the second connection element may have a projection corresponding to the first receptacle, such that in the conductive state of the circuit breaker the projection is arranged in a non-positive fit in the first receptacle. Thus, the first receptacle take over the function of receiving the pyrotechnic separation unit and the non-positive connection with the second connection element simultaneously. Alternatively, separate receptacles for the separation unit and the non-positive connection could be provided. Also, any other ways to connect the connecting elements frictionally, are covered by this invention.
Ebenso wie die erste Aufnahme kann auch der Vorsprung aus mindestens zwei Vorsprungelementen mehrteilig ausgeführt sein. Ebenso kann dann mindestens ein erstes und/oder zweites Vorsprungelement eine etwaige zweite Aufnahme aufweisen.As well as the first recording and the projection of at least two projection elements may be made in several parts. Likewise, at least one first and / or second projection element may then have a possible second receptacle.
Zur Einflussnahme auf die vom Strom erzeugte Joulesche Wärme sind zunächst alle den Widerstand eines Anschlusselements beeinflussenden Parameter, also der leitende Querschnitt, Länge sowie spezifischer Widerstand des Werkstoffs geeignet. Beispielsweise kann das erste Anschlusselement und/oder das zweite Anschlusselement mindestens eine den ohmschen Widerstand erhöhende Einkerbung aufweisen. Durch eine oder mehrere Einkerbungen eines der oder beider Anschlusselemente werden die elektrisch leitenden Querschnitte verkleinert, wodurch sich der ohmsche Widerstand erhöht, was letztlich zu einer höher Wärmeerzeugung bei gleichem Strom führt. Dadurch ist ein einfaches und kostengünstiges Mittel gegeben, den Widerstand der Anschlusselemente zu beeinflussen. Auch der Querschnitt der angeschlossenen Kabel kann Einfluss auf die eingebrachte Wärme haben.To influence the Joule heat generated by the current, all the parameters influencing the resistance of a connection element, ie the conductive cross section, the length and the specific resistance of the material are initially suitable. By way of example, the first connection element and / or the second connection element can have at least one notch increasing the ohmic resistance. By one or more notches of one or both connection elements, the electrically conductive cross sections are reduced, whereby the ohmic resistance increases, ultimately leads to a higher heat generation at the same power. Thereby, a simple and cost-effective means is given to influence the resistance of the connection elements. The cross-section of the connected cables can also influence the heat introduced.
Alternativ können beispielsweise die verschiedenen Teile einer mehrteiligen Aufnahme bzw. eines mehrteiligen Vorsprungs ebenfalls aus unterschiedlichen Materialien hergestellt sein und somit verschiedene, den erforderlichen Widerständen zum Auslösen der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit angepasste spezifische Widerstände aufweisen.Alternatively, for example, the different parts of a multi-part receptacle or a multi-part protrusion may also be made of different materials and thus have different resistors adapted to the required resistances for triggering the pyrotechnic separation unit.
Falls erforderlich kann der Widerstand auch durch Vergrößern des Querschnitts verringert werden. Auch kann durch unterschiedlich verpresste Querschnitte der Elemente der Widerstand beeinflusst werden.If necessary, the resistance can also be reduced by increasing the cross section. Also, by different compressed cross-sections of the elements of the resistance can be influenced.
Insbesondere kann der Stromunterbrecher so ausgelegt werden, dass ein zur Erreichung der Aktivierungstemperatur der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit durch Erzeugung von Joulescher Wärme benötigter Aktivierungsstrom kleiner oder gleich ist, als ein für die an die Anschlusselemente angeschlossenen Leitungen bzw. Kabel und/oder Verbraucher maximal zulässiger Strom. Beispielsweise kann der maximal zulässige Strom dem Strom entsprechen, der beim Übersteigen zum Durchbrennen und Zerstören der Anschlusskabel und/oder der Isolierung der Kabel führen würde.In particular, the circuit breaker can be designed so that an activation current required to achieve the activation temperature of the pyrotechnic separation unit by generating Joule heat is less than or equal to a maximum permissible current for the lines or cables and / or consumers connected to the connection elements. For example, the maximum allowable current may correspond to the current that, if exceeded, would result in burning through and destroying the connection cables and / or the insulation of the cables.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das erste und/oder das zweite Anschlusselement aus einem Flachteil gebildet. Daraus ergibt sich eine besonders kostengünstige Herstellung des Stromunterbrechers.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the first and / or the second connection element of a Flat part formed. This results in a particularly cost-effective production of the circuit breaker.
Die Flachteile lassen sich leicht verformen und somit kann in den Anschlusselementen mit geringem technischem Aufwand sowohl eine erste Aufnahme, bei Bedarf eine zweite Aufnahme als auch ein Vorsprung gebildet werden. Mittels der kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen Vorsprung und erster Aufnahme lassen sich die beiden Anschlusselemente mechanisch miteinander verbinden. Ein Strompfad wird hierdurch hergestellt. Die Kraft, die aufgewendet werden muss, um diese Verbindung zu lösen, lässt sich durch Gestaltung der ersten Aufnahme und des Vorsprungs einstellen. Vorzugsweise ist der Vorsprung mittels Presspassung in der ersten Aufnahme angeordnet. Bevorzugt ist eine unmittelbare Spannverbindung zwischen Vorsprung und erster Aufnahme. Insbesondere ein konischer Presssitz ist bevorzugt. Hierbei kann die erste Aufnahme und/oder der Vorsprung sich verjüngend geformt sein. Bevorzugt ist es, wenn der Topf sich ausgehend vom Flachteil verjüngt.The flat parts can be easily deformed and thus can be formed in the connection elements with little technical effort both a first recording, if necessary, a second recording and a projection. By means of the frictional connection between the projection and the first receptacle, the two connection elements can be mechanically connected to one another. A current path is thereby made. The force that needs to be expended in order to release this connection can be set by designing the first receptacle and the projection. Preferably, the projection is arranged by means of a press fit in the first receptacle. Preferred is an immediate clamping connection between the projection and the first receptacle. In particular, a conical interference fit is preferred. Here, the first receptacle and / or the projection may be formed tapered. It is preferred if the pot tapers, starting from the flat part.
Besonders günstig lassen sich die Anschlusselemente bilden, wenn zumindest ein Flachteil aus einem Blech hergestellt ist. Bleche verschiedenster Stärken aus elektrisch leitenden Werkstoffen sind günstig und lassen sich einfach verarbeiten. Auch lassen sich stranggepresste Bänder für die Herstellung der Flachteile verwenden.The connecting elements can be formed particularly favorably if at least one flat part is produced from a metal sheet. Sheets of various strengths of electrically conductive materials are cheap and can be easily processed. Also, extruded strips can be used for the production of flat parts.
Bevorzugt ist es, wenn aus den Blechen die Flachteile mittels Trennverfahren geformt werden. Als Trennverfahren eignen sich insbesondere Stanzen, Laserschneiden, Sägen bzw. sonstige spanlose oder spanhebende Trennverfahren.It is preferred if the flat parts are formed from the sheets by means of separation processes. In particular punching, laser cutting, sawing or other chipless or spanhebende separation methods are suitable as a separation process.
Die erste Aufnahme kann aus dem Anschlusselement tiefgezogen oder, beispielsweise bei zweiteiliger Ausführung der ersten Aufnahme, gestanzt werden.The first receptacle can be deep-drawn from the connection element or, for example, in two-part design of the first receptacle, punched.
Bei zweiteiliger Ausführung der ersten Aufnahme kann das erste Aufnahmeelement ein Kragen sein. Dieser Kragen kann beispielsweise beim Ausstanzen des ersten Aufnahmeelements aus dem Anschlusselement gebildet werden. Ferner kann der Kragen durch Einfügen einer Dorns in die Ausstanzung gebildet werden. An dem Kragen kann dann ein zweites Aufnahmeelement, beispielsweise durch Rotationsreibschweißen, Kleben oder ein anderes, vorzugsweise stoffschlüssiges, aber auch kraftschlüssiges Verfahren angebracht werden.In two-part design of the first receptacle, the first receiving element may be a collar. This collar can be formed, for example, during punching of the first receiving element from the connection element. Further, the collar may be formed by inserting a mandrel into the punch. On the collar then a second receiving element, for example by rotational friction welding, gluing or another, preferably cohesive, but also non-positive method can be attached.
Das erste Aufnahmeelement und/oder Vorsprungelement kann auch lediglich die Fläche im Bereich einer Ausstanzung im ersten bzw. zweiten Anschlusselement sein, mit der das zweite Aufnahmeelement bzw. Vorsprungelement verbunden wird.The first receiving element and / or projection element can also be merely the surface in the region of a punched-out in the first or second connection element, with which the second receiving element or projection element is connected.
Besonders günstig lässt sich der Stromunterbrecher herstellen, wenn der Vorsprung einstückig aus dem Flachteil gebildet ist. Vorzugsweise lässt sich der Vorsprung aus dem Flachteil ziehen. Dies kann beispielsweise mittels Streckziehen oder Tiefziehen bzw. mittels Biegen erfolgen. Hierbei kann ein Stempel in das Flachteil geführt werden, wodurch sich in dem Flachteil der Vorsprung ausbildet. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass der Vorsprung an das Flachteil mittels stoff- und/oder kraftschlüssigen Fügens angebracht wird.The circuit breaker can be produced in a particularly favorable manner if the projection is formed in one piece from the flat part. Preferably, the projection can be pulled out of the flat part. This can be done for example by means of ironing or deep drawing or by bending. Here, a stamp can be performed in the flat part, which forms in the flat part of the projection. However, it is also possible that the projection is attached to the flat part by means of material and / or non-positive joining.
Bevorzugt ist es, wenn der Vorsprung ein mit der Ausnehmung korrespondierender, tiefgezogener Topf ist. Besonders bevorzugt ist hierbei die sehr kostengünstige und schnelle Herstellung des Stromunterbrechers, wenn der Vorsprung erst während des Fügens des ersten Anschlusselementes mit dem zweiten Anschlusselement aus dem Flachteil gezogen wird. Hierbei kann beispielsweise das zweite Anschlusselement auf das erste Anschlusselement gelegt werden und ein Stempel kann gleichzeitig den Vorsprung formen und in die erste Aufnahme treiben, um die Anschlusselemente miteinander zu fügen.It is preferred if the projection is a deep-drawn pot corresponding to the recess. Particularly preferred here is the very cost-effective and rapid production of the circuit breaker, when the projection is pulled only during the joining of the first connection element with the second connection element from the flat part. In this case, for example, the second connection element can be placed on the first connection element and a stamp can simultaneously form the projection and drive it into the first receptacle in order to join the connection elements together.
Ein weiterer Gegenstand dieser Erfindung ist ein Verfahren, gemäß dem Anspruch 27, zum Unterbrechen eines elektrischen Stromes, insbesondere mit einem Stromunterbrecher nach einer oder einer Kombination einer der zuvor erläuterten Ausführungen, bei dem ein Stromunterbrecher von einem Aktivierungsstrom durchflossen wird, bei dem sich das erste und/oder das zweite Anschlusselement durch die Joulesche Wärme bis zur Aktivierungstemperatur erwärmt, bei dem die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit durch die Aktivierungstemperatur aktiviert wird und bei dem die aktivierte pyrotechnische Trenneinheit die Verbindung der Anschlusselemente, insbesondere zerstörungsfrei, löst und somit den Strompfad unterbricht.Another object of this invention is a method according to claim 27, for interrupting an electric current, in particular with a circuit breaker according to one or a combination of the previously described embodiments, in which a circuit breaker is traversed by an activation current, in which the first and / or the second connection element is heated by the Joule heat up to the activation temperature, in which the pyrotechnic separation unit is activated by the activation temperature and in which the activated pyrotechnic separation unit, the connection of the connection elements, in particular non-destructive dissolves and thus interrupts the current path.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand einer Ausführungsbeispiele zeigenden Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiments showing drawing.

Generell kann der Vorsprung 9 während des Fügens des ersten Anschlusselements 1 mit dem zweiten Anschlusselement 3 aus dem Flachteil gezogen sein.

Eine besonders kostengünstige Herstellung kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass zumindest ein Flachteil aus einem Blech hergestellt ist. Dabei kann vorzugsweise zumindest ein Flachteil aus einem Blech mittels eines Trennverfahrens geformt werden.A particularly cost-effective production can be achieved in that at least one flat part is made of a metal sheet. In this case, preferably at least one flat part may be formed from a sheet by means of a separation process.

Ein Stromfluss kann von Anschluss 15a über Anschlusselement 1, Anschlusselement 3 und Anschluss 15b verlaufen. Im Fall eines zu großen elektrischen Stromes, beispielsweise durch einen Kurzschluss, erhitzt sich der Stromunterbrecher zumindest im Bereich der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit 5 so stark, dass diese zündet. Der durch das Zünden der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit 5 entstehende Gasdruck bewirkt, dass der Vorsprung 9 aus der ersten Aufnahme 7 gepresst wird und der Strompfad zwischen Anschlusselement 1 und Anschlusselement 3 unterbrochen wird. Die Einschnürung 17 dient dabei dem Zweck, das Lösen der Anschlusselemente 1,3 zu vereinfachen. Das Anschlusselement 3 lässt sich entlang der Einschnürung 17 leichter verbiegen. Beim Absprengen wirkt daher eine geringere Kraft auf den Anschluss 15.A current flow can run from terminal 15a via

Bis zum Zeitpunkt t1 befindet sich der Stromverlauf unterhalb des Aktivierungsstroms IAKT. Dieser sollte vorzugsweise unterhalb des maximal zulässigen Stromes IMAX des zu schützenden Systems, beispielsweise der Anschlussleitungen oder der Verbraucher liegen. Der elektrische Strom führt zu einer Jouleschen Erwärmung der Anschlusselemente. Dadurch wird ebenfalls die pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit 5 erwärmt, wobei die Temperatur bis zum Zeitpunkt tAKT unterhalb der Aktivierungstemperatur TAKT liegt. Steigt nun der Strom zum Zeitpunkt t1 über den Aktivierungsstrom IAKT so führt dies zu einer Erwärmung der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit bis zur Aktivierungstemperatur TAKT. Dabei kann eine kleine Verzögerung auftreten, so dass TAKT zu einem Zeitpunkt tAKT, der nach dem Zeitpunkt t1 liegen kann, erreicht wird.Until the time t 1 , the current profile is below the activation current I AKT . This should preferably be below the maximum permissible current I MAX of the system to be protected, for example, the connection lines or the consumer. The electric current leads to a Joule heating of the connection elements. As a result, the
Zum Zeitpunkt tAKT zündet die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit 5, so dass die kraftschlüssige Verbindung der Anschlusselemente 1,3, insbesondere zerstörungsfrei, gelöst wird, was zu einer Unterbrechung der elektrischen Verbindung führt.At time t AKT ignites the
Der Stromunterbrecher wird dabei in Abhängigkeit von dem jeweils zu schützenden Element ausgelegt. Dies können, neben den Anschlussleitungen auch Verbraucher sein. Entscheidend ist jeweils, dass die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit in Kombination mit den Anschlusselemente so gewählt wird, dass die pyrotechnische Trenneinheit 5 vor dem Erreichen des maximal zulässigen Stromes IMAX verlässlich zündet. Vorteilhaft wird dabei der Stromunterbrecher so gestaltet, dass das Zeitintervall tΔ zwischen t1 und tAKT (tΔ = TAKT - t1) so gering wie möglich ausfällt. Dies kann insbesondere durch Wahl besonderer Materialien für die Anschlusselemente, besondere Ausgestaltung der Einkerbungen sowie der Aufnahmen und des Vorsprungs erreicht werden.The circuit breaker is designed as a function of the respective element to be protected. These can be, in addition to the connection lines and consumers. It is crucial in each case that the pyrotechnic separation unit is selected in combination with the connection elements so that the
Der erfindungsgemäße Stromunterbrecher zeichnet sich durch kostengünstige und einfache Herstellung aus. Außerdem kann nach der Aktivierung der pyrotechnischen Trenneinheit der Stromunterbrecher wieder zusammengefügt werden, so dass ein Austausch von Bauteilen entfallen kann.The circuit breaker according to the invention is characterized by cost-effective and simple production. In addition, after the activation of the pyrotechnic separation unit of the circuit breaker can be reassembled, so that an exchange of components can be omitted.
Ebenso sind Anschlusselemente von dieser Erfindung umfasst, die als Anschlussschienen ausgebildet sind und beispielsweise mehrere Strompfade trennen können. So könnte eine Anschlussschiene, ähnlich einem Kamm, vorgesehen sein. Jeder Zahn des Kamms kann dann für sich eine pyrotechnische Trenneinheit aufweisen und den Strompfad zu einem weiteren Anschlusselement wie zuvor beschrieben lösen. Insbesondere durch verschiedenartige Ausgestaltung der einzelnen Zähne können dann die einzelnen Strompfade bei verschiedenen Stromstärken getrennt werden.Likewise, connecting elements of this invention are included, which are designed as connecting rails and, for example, can separate a plurality of current paths. Thus, a connecting rail, similar to a comb, could be provided. Each tooth of the comb can then have for itself a pyrotechnic separation unit and solve the current path to another connection element as described above. In particular, by different design of the individual teeth then the individual current paths can be separated at different currents.
