Definitions

  • the invention relates to a circuit breaker according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a circuit breaker is made JP 54-57173 A bakannt.
  • Another circuit breaker is off, for example FR 2 661 776 A1 known.
  • the trigger mechanism of the known circuit breaker comprises an electromagnetic release and a bimetallic release.
  • the electromagnetic triplet detects a short circuit
  • the bimetallic trigger detects an overload condition.
  • the corresponding trigger acts on a triggering arm, which in turn decoys the switching arm and thus triggers the return of the switching arm into the open position.
  • a circuit breaker of the abovementioned type is generally intended to bring about the fastest possible separation of the electrical connection formed between the moving contact and the fixed contact when the tripping condition occurs in order to effectively protect a circuit connected to the circuit breaker against a short circuit and / or overload damage.
  • a switching arc as it inevitably arises in the switching operation between the moving contact and the fixed contact, should be deleted as quickly as possible in order to bring the current flow to a standstill and avoid burning off the contact material as far as possible.
  • the rapid extinction of the switching arc is particularly important in short-circuit and overload of particular importance, especially in these cases, the switching arc due to the high current flow unfolds a particularly strong destructive effect.
  • a protective guard should be made as simple as possible for reasons of production technology and be inexpensive to produce.
  • Circuit breakers of the above type are made in both single-pole and multi-pole versions.
  • multi-pole circuit breaker modular in each case of single-pole circuit breaker modules to be realized, the circuit breaker modules are lined up frontally to implement a multi-pole circuit breaker.
  • Such a modular circuit breaker is for example off EP 0 538 149 A1 known.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a background against the background described above, in particular with regard to a quick solution of switching arcs particularly suitable circuit breaker.
  • the circuit breaker according to the invention is equipped with a quenching device for particularly ratcheting deletion of a switching arc.
  • the extinguishing device comprises an extinguishing chamber, which has an inlet and an outlet for the arc and approximately vertical side walls.
  • the extinguishing device further comprises two rails, which serve to guide the switching arc of the contacts in the quenching chamber.
  • a first track connects the fixed contact with a first side wall of the quenching chamber.
  • the second running rail connects a stop surface on which the moving contact rests in the open position of the switching arm, with the second side wall of the quenching chamber.
  • a separating web is integrally formed, which extends substantially from side wall to side wall of the quenching chamber and thereby separates the outlet of the quenching chamber into two approximately equal partial surfaces.
  • the divider is aligned approximately perpendicular to the quenching plates of a splitter stack of the quenching chamber and extends beyond the outlet of the quenching chamber.
  • the separating web extending according to the invention from the side wall to the side wall of the quenching chamber therefore extends in particular in the longitudinal direction over the quenching chamber cross section. This allows the extinguishing chamber to form with particularly good extinguishing behavior particularly flat. This in turn allows a particularly flat circuit breaker construction.
  • a width of about 12mm can be realized, while comparable circuit breakers usually previously have a width of about 18mm.
  • the second running rail is contacted with a power supply, via which the second running rail is short-circuited to the moving contact, so that the moving contact and the second running rail are always at the same electrical potential.
  • the second track is advantageously contacted with the power supply, that the contact point between the rail and power supply - seen from the moving contact in the direction of the contact lever - behind the abutment surface of the switching arm, or that in other words, the stop surface of the switching arm on the second track between the contact point of this track with the power supply and the quenching chamber is located.
  • an induction effect caused by the current path by means of which the arc is driven in the direction of the quenching chamber due to the electrodynamic interaction, remains in the commutation process according to the sign, so that the arc run is not slowed down during the commutation.
  • the second track and the power supply are formed from the same metal strip, the track is cut free in the manner of a tab centrally from this sheet metal strip and bent out ,
  • the extinguishing device is optimized in a preferred embodiment in that a switching arc is quickly and effectively "sucked" into the quenching chamber without passing through the quenching chamber and backfiring at the outlet or raking off at the quenching chamber and backfiring in front of its inlet.
  • This optimization becomes on the one hand achieved by a balanced entrainment of the outlet of the quenching chamber with respect to the inlet, which is suitably in a range of 35% to 50%, preferably about 40% to 45% and in particular about 42% is selected.
  • Damming is the ratio of the free outlet area to the free inlet area. A suitable damming is achieved in particular by a corresponding dimensioning of the separating web.
  • At least one guide plate is preferably arranged at the outlet of the quenching chamber, through which the gas stream leaving the quenching chamber is divided and deflected in the direction of a housing opening.
  • the baffle or the baffles significantly improve the pressure and flow conditions at the exit of the quenching chamber and thus further reduce the risk of a flashback of the arc before the outlet or inlet of the quenching chamber.
  • a plurality of baffles are provided over the portions of the outlet (i.e., from side wall to side wall) and optionally on both sides of the divider.
  • the or each baffle is made in particular of plastic and is formed in a production-technically advantageous variant of the invention to the inside of the housing.
  • an arc run-up space formed between the rails is delimited by a cover plate at least towards a housing end face.
  • the or each cover plate is in turn arranged at a distance from the housing, so that between the cover plate and the housing, a channel is formed, which is guided approximately parallel to the arc run space.
  • This embodiment of the invention is based on the finding that the arc on its way along the rails by sudden air heating pushes a pressure wave in front of him, which can hinder the inlet of the arc in the quenching chamber, while on the other hand in the region of the contacts creates a negative pressure, the under Circumstances, the arc undesirably suck back into the contact area.
  • This problem is avoided by the duct running beyond the or each cover plate, especially since pressure equalization can take place through this duct during the arc run.
  • the or each cover plate is preferably designed such that the limited by this cover pressure equalization channel is open on the one hand to the inlet of the quenching chamber and on the other hand to the contacts facing the end of the arc run space.
  • the circuit breaker comprises a short-circuit release, which is designed to actuate the release slide in the event of a short circuit as a trigger condition.
  • the Kum gleichauslöser comprises a magnetic coil, a magnetic yoke and a magnet armature which is connected to a provided for advancing the trigger slide ram.
  • the first rail is preferably integral with the yoke of the short-circuit release, ie as part of the same or with this one piece mechanically coherent executed.
  • the magnetic yoke admixe is interrupted in a region adjacent to the outlet of the quenching chamber area by a gap.
  • the embodiment of the invention described in the following figures relates to a kind of modular system modular circuit breaker 1, which can be realized by combining a number of components in single or multi-pole design.
  • the core component of this modular system is a circuit breaker module 2, which in itself already forms a fully functional single-pole circuit breaker.
  • Unipolar designs of the circuit breaker 1, as in particular in the Fig. 1 to 6 are represented, are essentially formed by a single circuit breaker module 2 accordingly.

  • Fig. 10 shows an enlarged view of the switching arm 43 again in its closed position in which the inter alia guided by the magnetic coil 57 electrical connection between the feed terminal 24 and the load terminal 26 is closed.
  • a short circuit in a circuit connected to the terminals 24 and 16 leads to a sudden increase in the current flowing through the magnetic coil 57 current to a peak value, which can be up to about 6 kA in the case of the illustrated circuit breaker as intended.
  • the strong increase in current causes a proportional increase in the magnetic field generated by the magnetic coil 57, as a result of which the armature 60 is attracted against the force caused by the compression spring 62 restoring force against the arranged inside the magnetic coil 57 core disks 58.
  • Each of the core disks 58 is provided with a longitudinal groove.
  • the Kemulationn 58 are attached to each other in such a way that the longitudinal grooves complement each other to a implementation in which the plunger 61 slidably rests.

  • the geometry of the trigger slide 53 is particularly dimensioned such that the stop 95 comes to the switching arm 43 at a time to the plant to which the switching arm 43 has not yet relaxed.
  • the switching arm 43 is in turn designed such that the stop 95 abuts against the contact lever 48 (and not against the latch lever 49). Due to the friction of the contact lever 48 with the stop 95, the rotational mobility of the contact lever 48 is blocked. In this way it is prevented that the switching arm 43 relaxes before lifting the moving contact 84 of the fixed contact 85. Rather, the contact lever 48 is raised immediately with the abutment of the trigger slide 53 (s. Fig. 11 ), which in turn the moving contact 84 immediately separated from the fixed contact 85 and the short-circuit current is effectively limited already
  • the trigger slide 53 is arranged in particular such that the stop 95 in the region of the rotary joint 81 strikes the switching arm 43, so that no torque is transmitted relative to the latch lever 49 by the stop 95 on the contact lever 48.
  • the contact lever 48 projects beyond the latch lever 49 in the radial direction in the region of the rotary joint 81, so that it is ensured that the stop 95 strikes the contact lever 48.

  • the driver 46 is unlatched with the pawl 51, and the pivot lever 7 is no longer held in the second pivot position and returns under the action of the torsion spring 47 in the first pivot position.
  • the driver 46 is pushed out of the recess 94 of the Entklinkungskontur 93 and slides the Aufgleitschräge 98 down until it locks behind the latch 51 again.
  • the engagement of the driver 46 behind the pawl 51 is by a spring tab 72 ( Fig. 8 ), which is molded integrally on the pivot lever 7 and pushes the coupling rod 45 in the second pivot position of the pivot lever 7 against the Aufgleitschräge 98.
  • the switching arm 43 is thereby again coupled to the manual operation mechanism 42 and can by manual pivoting of the pivot lever 7 in the closed position according to Fig. 9 be reset.
  • the driver 46 by interaction of the driver 46 with the Aufgleitschräge 98 simultaneously the trip slider 53 in the ready position according to Fig. 9 shifted back, provided that the displacement of the trigger slide 53 is no obstacle.
  • the driver 46 slides on the Aufgleitschräge 98 upwards and is thereby lifted off the pawl 51 again.

  • the running rail 66 is cut out centrally from the power supply 67 in order to ensure a symmetrical current flow in the transition region.
  • the magnetic yoke 59 into which the running rail 65 is integrated, is not closed in a circle around the magnetic coil 57. Rather, the yoke 59 is on a magnet armature 60 facing the bottom through a narrow air gap 99 (FIGS. FIGS. 8 and 9 ) interrupted.

  • the damming of this outlet 106 ie the ratio of the free cross-sectional area of the outlet 106 to the free cross-sectional area of the inlet 102, is about 42%.
  • This cross-sectional constriction has proven to be particularly suitable for slowing down the propagation of the arc in the quenching chamber 63, in order to avoid that the arc simply passes through the quenching chamber 63 and reignites at the outlet 106, in order to keep the quenching chamber sufficiently permeable on the other hand that the arc quickly enters the quenching chamber 63.
  • the damming is effected essentially by a separating web 107 made of insulating material, which is integrally formed on the outlet 106 of the extinguishing chamber 63 and protrudes therefrom in the propagation direction P.

Fig. 15 ) abuts against a projection of the trigger slide 53, which is referred to as attack 111 below.
  • the attack 111 is formed on two sides and comprises an integrally formed on the trigger slide 53 bracket 112 (FIGS. Fig. 15 ) on which an eccentric 113 ( Fig. 16 ) is rotatably mounted.
  • the holder 112 is in this case with a ring gear 114 ( Fig. 15 ) which, in cooperation with a corresponding detent tooth 115 (FIG. Fig. 16 ) of the eccentric 113 allows the eccentric 113 to lock in a plurality of defined rotational positions relative to the holder 112.
