Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switching device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a switching device is generally part of a switching device or circuit breaker, in particular a line switch or circuit breaker, and is used for selective connection or disconnection of one or more current paths under operating or fault conditions.
  • a switching device or circuit breaker in particular a line switch or circuit breaker
  • a load in a current path is intended to be under load only in the current path of the associated phase conductor and therefore almost free of load during operation or fault-ie at a current which is small in relation to the rated current of the corresponding switching device Current path of the neutral can be switched.
  • the module protection switch includes two switching points, which are functionally connected by means of a coupling element, in such a way that in a protection circuit of a switching point-containing switching unit and another switching unit is switched accordingly.
  • the coupling element is arranged in the center of the module protection switch.
  • the components of the switching units are miniaturized and arranged vertically with respect to the mounting rail to which the module protection switch can be attached.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a switching device whose number of components of different components is small and space-saving housed within a housing.
  • the invention is based on the finding that in an integration of in particular two switching points in a switching device so far a high miniaturization effort has been operated, since the switching units of the switching points must be arranged largely symmetrical.
  • a coupling element only between the two switching units, that is, in a substantially central position of the overall device, realized.
  • This further implies that a mechanical interaction of the switching device with, for example, a fault current or auxiliary switch can only be made on a side surface of the switching device which adjoins the fault or auxiliary current switch.
  • the switching device has a first and a second switching point, each containing a fixed and a movable contact.
  • the switching points are assigned, for example switching units within the switching device, which are substantially identical or identical.
  • a switching mechanism of the device is used to control the movements of the moving contacts.
  • the switching mechanism has a coupling element, which leads to a switching state change of the second switching point, if the first switching point undergoes a switching state change.
  • a switching state change in this context could, for example, mean a positive opening caused by a thermal or magnetic release.
  • the coupling element is arranged decentrally within the switching device and designed, for example, as a shift fork.
  • the decentralized arrangement of the coupling element proves to be advantageous because a coupling point available can be made, which is freely selectable in many areas. This means that an optimal coupling point can be provided for different attachable devices.
  • an active site can be realized with a so-called driver.
  • the driver is mechanically connected to the coupling element and allows a mechanical connection to example residual current or auxiliary switch.
  • a switching state change of the second switching point also leads to a switching state change of the first switching point. This leads to a direct coupling of the two switching points, so that a positive opening of a switching point automatically provokes a positive opening of the other switching point.
  • the coupling element serves for the mechanical coupling of two substantially identical switching units of the switching device.
  • the coupling element serves to direct the chain of action or the signal path via a decentralized point, so that a slight signal pickup and signal transmission to other switching devices or switching devices is possible.
  • an embodiment provides a partition, which is provided for at least partial separation of the substantially identical switching units of the switching device.
  • the one side of the partition for the one switching unit or the other side of the partition wall for the other switching unit, since As a result, an additional part can be saved with a partition wall function. It is used a coupling element which projects through the partition wall, is stored in this or mounted outside of the partition and thus directs the trigger signal from one side of the partition to the other side. It is also advantageous in this context that the vertical arrangement of the switching units within the device housing with respect to a mounting rail can be at least partially abandoned in favor of a component number reduction.
  • the coupling element is designed in one piece.
  • the one-piece design represents a cost-effective solution that can transmit all the required signals between the two switching units, which can also be phase sides.
  • the coupling element has an integrally formed curve or cam disk geometry, whereby the existing forces (for example contact pressure spring force) and movement sequences caused by switching mechanism can be overridden or reduced by simple means into optimally optimal force courses and movement sequences.
  • the coupling element is designed in several parts, so that it can, for example, additionally take over the function of the driver. Furthermore, a plurality of signals from the one switching unit to the other switching unit can be transferred by the multi-part design. It may be advantageous if the coupling element has a first switching arm and a second switching arm.
  • the switching arms are each associated with the switching units and can be relative to each other movable or rigid depending on the spatial arrangement of the switching units.
  • the first or second switching point in the load current leading path and the other switching point in the current return path can be arranged. It is also conceivable to use the switching points for different load currents or a combination of control and load currents.
  • the driver in which no mechanical coupling of the coupling element to adjacent devices is required, can be omitted.
  • the storage which is optimally located at the existing driver on the axis thereof, can be replaced by a corresponding guide in the carrier part, in the partition or in the equipment trays in the absence of driver.
  • FIG 1 and FIG 2 show a one-piece coupling element 1, which is designed in this embodiment as a shift fork, with two switching arms 1.7,1.8, wherein the switching arms 1.7,1.8 correspond to different basic forms.
  • the first switching arm 1.8 (first basic form) of the coupling element 1 is hingedly mounted in a second switching arm 1.7 (second basic form).
  • the first switching arm 1.8 has a pin 1.9 for guiding in the partition wall 6.
  • the coupling element 1 has a coupling element axis 1.6 and a series of effective ranges 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, which are provided for interaction or signal transmission with other parts of the switching mechanism.
  • the switching units 10 and 20 Due to the one-piece, asymmetrical design of the coupling element 1 as a shift fork, it is possible for the switching units 10 and 20 to use the same partition 6 for holding the components and at the same time by means of the coupling element 1 to the corresponding components of both switching units 10, 20, such as a pawl 14, 24 and a trigger lever 15, 25, to act. Due to the non-mirror image arrangement of identical components (partition wall as a mirror plane) results in each case a different shape and different effective ranges 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5 for both switching arms 1.7, 1.8.
  • a driver 2 with at least one switching arm 1.7,1.8, for example, the first switching arm 1.8 mechanically connected This makes it possible to tune switching states with other devices, since the driver 2 is led out of the housing and thus act on other devices and / or can receive signals from other devices.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 show a so-called pawl 14, which takes over the function of the triggering query.
  • An effective range 14.3 is provided for interacting with a release lever 15. This effective range is designed as a projection and could also have notch-like or barb-like projections, so that the pawl 14 is verklinkbar in the active region 15.4 of the trigger lever 15.
  • the pawl 14 has a first axis of rotation 14.5 and second axis of rotation 14.6.
  • FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show a release lever 15 which is rotatable about an axis of rotation 15.3 and has effective regions 15.1, 15.2, 15.4, 15.5.
  • the release lever 15 assumes a central role within the switching mechanism of the switching device.
  • the release lever 15 is provided for receiving the triggering signals of a thermal or magnetic triggering or the triggering by the respective other phase side or the second switching unit 20. As soon as the release lever 15 receives the trigger signal, he gives this to the pawl 14 on the effective range 15.4 further, by this is removed from the effective range 14.3 of the pawl 14 as a support or latching.
  • the release lever 15 is provided by means of the active region 15.5 to be electromagnetically, that is, by an armature (not shown), to be set in a rotational movement.
  • Both switching units 10, 20 could represent, for example, the phase sides of a switching device which can be attached to a hat or mounting rail.
  • designators of FIGS. 10 to 17 designate components and elements of the first switching unit 10
  • designators of FIGS. 20 to 27 designate the corresponding identical components and elements of the switching unit 20.
  • the effective range 15.2 of FIG Trigger lever 15 of the switching unit 10 is formed in the same manner as the effective range 25.2 of the trigger lever 25 of the switching unit 20th
  • a central component of the switching unit 10 is the release lever 15.
  • the effective range 15.4 of the release lever 15 is intended to receive a corresponding effective range 14.3 of the pawl 14 or serves as a support for the effective range 14.3. If the triggering signal is transmitted to the release lever 15, it moves in FIG. 7 counterclockwise away from the pawl 14. The bearing area 14.3 the support surface is removed, whereby the prestressed pawl 14 also performs a rotational movement in the counterclockwise direction. The rotational movement of the pawl 14 is caused by the spring 12.1, which is shown in FIG. 7 in the pretensioned position. As soon as the pawl 14, as seen in FIG.
  • the contact carrier 16 has moved in such a way due to the transmission of force via a bracket 13.2 that the movable contact 11.1 is removed from the fixed contact 11.2.
  • the bias of the spring 12.1 takes place before the opening operation in the operation of the shift lever 3, which can move via a bracket 7, the pawl 14 and 13.2 via the bracket, the contact carrier 16 and this used to bias the spring 12.1.
  • the pawl 14 also moves on an axis vertical to the image.
  • the mechanical trigger signal which moves the release lever 15, can be ensured here by an armature of an electromagnetic mechanism, not shown, which monitors the flow of current through the closed switching point, and thus the contacts 11.1 and 11.2.
  • the trigger signal can be transmitted to the release lever 15 in a thermal tripping.
  • a bimetal 17 is provided, which moves when heated a bracket 13.1 and by the power transmission of the bracket 13.1 acting on the lower arm of the release lever 15 so that it is moved counterclockwise.
  • the release lever 15 can be triggered by the overlapping (partition) switching unit 20.
  • the switching element designed as a switching element 1 is used, wherein the first switching arm 1.8 of the switching unit 10 is assigned and second switching arm 1.7 of the second switching unit 20.
  • a partially rotational movement of the switching arm 1.8 leads to a power transmission of a pawl 24 of the second switching unit 20 via the effective range 1.1 of the switching arm 1.8 on the effective range 15.1 of the release lever 15.
  • Similar to electromagnetic and thermal tripping leads the movement of the shift lever 15 in the counterclockwise direction to the positive opening of the contacts 11.1 and 11.2.
  • the switching arm 1.8 has a query function. On the nose-shaped extension of an effective range 1.2 is arranged, which interacts with the active region 14.2 of the pawl 14. The signal transmission takes place here from the pawl 14 to the switching arm 1.8 or on the coupling element 1 instead. Due to the movement of the pawl 14 in the counterclockwise direction, due to the contour of the effective region 14.2, a rotational force is translated into a mainly linear force movement and simultaneously transmitted via the first switching arm 1.8 to the second switching arm 1.7, which forwards this signal to the switching unit 20 and initiates its tripping.
  • a plurality of contacts can optionally be made to positively open in this way if the coupling element 1 were designed in several parts.
  • the driver 2 is in direct operative connection with the coupling element 1, so that a positive opening via a mechanical signal to other devices, such as Z-components can be forwarded.
  • a positive opening could lead to a switching change of a mounted auxiliary switch.
  • an attached fault current block with adjacent fault current affects the switching mechanism or the switching points of a designed as a circuit breaker switching device so that even when switching the switching device a phase and a neutral pole are not even closed briefly.
  • an additional protective function (positive opening at a certain voltage) can be added to that of the switching device by means of an attachable shunt release.
  • an attachable shunt release For example, a phase and neutral pole of the switching device is forcibly opened.
  • an undervoltage release is also attachable or mechanically connectable to the switching device or the conductor switch, so that the function of the shutdown is also executable when falling below a certain voltage by the switching device.
  • FIG 8 and 10 show the second switching unit 20 each in the closed and opened switching state, wherein the switching unit 20 is connected via the coupling element 1 with the switching unit 10 in operative connection.
  • the switching units 10, 20 can not be arranged mirror-symmetrically.
  • the second switching arm 1.7 is very unlike the first switching arm 1.8 and more hook-shaped than lever-shaped executed.
  • the second switching arm 1.7 is attached to the first switching arm 1.8, so that a direct Connection of the second switching arm 1.7 to driver 2 is unnecessary. Since the driver 2 shares an axis of rotation with the first switching arm 1.8, the direct connection of the second switching arm 1.7 causes a lever-like signal transmission when the switching unit 20 is triggered on the first switching arm 1.8.
  • the second switching arm 1.7 queries the position of the pawl 24 and transmits in triggering the trigger signal via the first switching 1.8 to the trigger lever 15 of the first switching unit 10.
  • the switching unit 20 is triggered by the switching unit 10, Namely, when the first switching arm 1.8 is moved when triggered by the pawl 14, so the trigger signal transmits to the second switching arm 1.7, so that the trigger lever 25 is similar to the trigger lever 15 is set in the triggering rotational movement.
  • the invention relates to a switching device with at least two switching points, each having a fixed and a movable contact, and are equipped with a switching mechanism for controlling the movements of the movable contacts. It should be a small variety of components and at the same time a space-saving layout for such a switching device, as occurs for example in circuit breakers, can be achieved.
  • a switching device is proposed which has a switching mechanism with a coupling element which is provided for bringing about a switching state change of a switching point in response to the switching state change of the other switching point and ensures a space-saving arrangement with low component diversity by a decentralized arrangement within the switching device.
