Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical service switching device, in particular a circuit breaker, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic service switching device usually has a contact point formed by a fixed and a movable contact piece, wherein the movable contact piece is held on a pivotally mounted contact lever.
  • a generic installation switching device comprises a magnetic release with magnet armature and a thermal release, as well as a releasable from the thermal and the magnetic release switch lock with a Verklinkungsstelle. This is formed by a release lever and a stationary rotatably mounted, a slot for guiding a bracket having latch lever.
  • the magnet armature can act on the opening of the contact point bearing on the movable contact piece contact lever and the switch lock can hold the contact lever permanently in the open position.
  • a generic installation switching device comprises a switch knob for manual operation of the switching mechanism, and an intermediate lever which is hinged at its one end to the contact lever and with its other end to the bracket, wherein the bracket is articulated with at least one leg on the switch knob.
  • the contact lever is acted upon in generic service switching devices by the force of a contact pressure spring, which is passed to the contact lever, that they in the closed position, the movable contact piece against the presses fixed contact piece, and pushes in the off position, the movable contact piece of the fixed contact piece.
  • the intermediate lever is the link between the rear derailleur and the contact lever.
  • the contact lever In the closed position, the contact lever is held by the interlock lever blocked by the derailleur. A first, displaceable pivot point of the contact lever is blocked by the latched derailleur in a first position, so that the contact pressure spring about the first pivot point can press the contact lever against the fixed contact piece.
  • the intermediate lever In the tripped or off position, the intermediate lever is released by the derailleur.
  • the derailleur is unlatched and releases the first pivot point of the contact lever, so that the contact pressure spring can press the contact lever to a second, fixed pivot point in the open position, in which the movable contact piece is removed from the fixed contact piece.
  • the switching mechanism In thermal or short-circuit current cut-off, the switching mechanism is unlatched by the thermal or the electromagnetic release through the intermediary of a release lever, so that it can go from the switched to the off state.
  • the movable contact lever In the case of electromagnetic rapid release, the movable contact lever is additionally directly pushed away by the magnet armature in order to quickly open the contact point, because the switching off via the unlatched rear derailleur is slower because of the mechanical inertia of the components involved than would be permitted with the quick release.
  • DE 10 2004 055 564 A1 shows an installation switching device with a rear derailleur, the items are successively used together with the contact lever in the housing.
  • the rear derailleur with the contact lever is no longer used as a prefabricated module, but it grows up, so to speak, within the housing.
  • the thermal release and the contact lever are, based on the magnetic release, on different sides, so that an extension slide between the thermal release and the rear derailleur must be used separately as an extension of the rear derailleur.
  • This construction should be suitable for fully automatic production, but it requires a high-precision supply and positioning of a large number of individual parts, which makes the production machine very complicated and expensive.
  • the contact lever forms a first prefabricated insertable into the housing of the service switching device, which is pivotally mounted after insertion into the housing at a rotationally fixedly connected to the housing axis of rotation, and the switch knob forms with the release lever, the latch lever, the intermediate lever and the bracket a second prefabricated insertable into the housing assembly after insertion at a separation point with the first assembly articulated is connected.
  • the second module is also referred to below as the articulated chain.
  • the separation point is formed by a coupling point between a free end of the intermediate lever with a free end of the contact lever.
  • the coupling point can be formed, for example, by an integrally formed on a free end of the contact lever bolt, which engages in a mounted at a free end of the intermediate lever recess.
  • the two assemblies can be manufactured independently and pre-tested. By separating the "contact closure lever" functionality into two assemblies, each assembly is in itself less complex than an assembly that would incorporate all the functionality into a single assembly. As a result, each of the two assemblies according to the invention is easier and more reliable to manufacture.
  • the assembly takes place in the housing at the separation point. During assembly, only two assemblies need to be inserted into the housing to maintain functionality. This can be done either simply by hand or by means of a production machine. The requirements on the production machines are manageable, since only two modules must be handled and positioned, and not a large number of individual parts.
  • the movement path of the contact lever in the open position is limited by abutment against a fixedly connected to the housing stop.
  • the stop absorbs the impact of the contact lever.
  • an installation switching device comprises a percussion lever pivotally mounted in a stationary axis, via which both the armature and the thermal release act on the release lever.
  • the hammer thus provides the coupling between the thermal or the magnetic release and the switch lock with the Verklinkungsstelle.
  • the thermal and magnetic triggers can therefore be formed as separate assemblies and used independently and after insertion of the contact lever and the link chain in the housing.
  • the hammer may be a double-arm lever, wherein in a very advantageous further embodiment, the armature and the thermal release act on a first arm of the hammer and pivot it on impact, so that the second arm of the hammer on an arm the release lever acts and this pivoted so that the Verklinkungsstelle between the release lever and the latch lever is unlatched.
  • the contacts are very thick and thus designed oversized, or the sinking of the contact lever is limited by the length of the elongated hole in which the contact lever is mounted on the second, fixed axis of rotation.
  • the latched state namely, when the contact lever is pressed by the first pivot point against the fixed contact piece, is the second, fixed axis of rotation in the interior of the slot.
  • the smaller the thickness of the contact pieces the further the end of the elongated hole approaches the second, stationary axis of rotation.
  • the second, stationary axis of rotation finally abuts against the edge of the elongated hole, a further pressing of the contact lever to the fixed contact piece is no longer possible, and the sinking is stopped.
  • the sinking of the contact lever towards the fixed contact piece is limited by a fixed stop.
  • a fixed stop This can be formed by a housing projection in a very advantageous embodiment of the invention. It can also be realized by a separate, but with the housing stationary and positive or even cohesively connected attachment.
  • the advantage of the invention limiting the Nachsinkens by a stationary stop is that no contact pressure is lost and an improved reproducibility of the limiting threshold from device to device can be achieved.
  • the function of the limitation of the Nachsinkens is inventively taken away from the slot and a separate component, the stop assigned. This can be optimized in its position and embodiment towards its only function, so that a total of an inventive installation switching device has improved properties.

  • the thermal release is designed in this variant so that it bends in the direction of the contact point when heated. In the in the FIGS. 1 to 3 In the embodiment shown, the strip 74 of the thermal release 75 bends in the direction away from the contact point when heated.
  • FIG. 8 Yet another variant of the mechanical coupling of the thermal and the magnetic release 75, 73 to the release lever shows the FIG. 8 , There, the impact of the contact point is carried out directly by the striker 373 of the trigger 273 without detour via the hammer 277. The unlatching of the Verklinkungsstelle on the trigger lever 240 but takes place here with the interposition of the hammer 277. This provides a very quick and direct opening of the contact point in the event of a short circuit.
  • the hammer 277 has an opening 285 through which the striker 373 of the magnetic release 273 extends through.
  • a circumferential collar 374 is integrally formed in the region between the end face of the magnetic release 273 and the hammer 277.
  • the striker 373 then moves along with the hammer 277, until it hits the contact lever 262 and beats it in the direction of arrow P3 in the clockwise direction in the open position.
