According to the invention, the connector elements consist of a pair of current-dividing metallic brackets (1, 1'), wherein the ends of said brackets (1, 1') which are directed toward the overvoltage protection element run parallel and include the corresponding contact lug (14) therebetween. The ends of the brackets (1, 1') which are turned away from the overvoltage protection element are connected to each other, enclosing a free space, and have a section (12) for external connector components or connector clamps. The slider (4) with pretensioned spring (2) is set in the free space, wherein the spring pretensioning is directed in the direction of the contact lug (14) of the overvoltage protection element. Furthermore, the slider (4) has a wedge shape and/or sections of the brackets have an inclined surface in order to generate a force component on the parallel ends of the brackets when the slider moves in such a way that said ends of the brackets can be moved away by the contact lug. The aforementioned solder or adhesive connection is formed in the area of the parallel ends of the brackets and the contact lug.

Description

Überspannungsschutzgerät mit im thermischen Überlastfall aktivierter mechanischer Abtrennvorrichtung Surge protection device with mechanical disconnection device activated in thermal overload
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Überspannungsschutzgerät mit im thermischen Überlastfall aktivierter mechanischer Abtrennvorrichtung, diese umfassend Anschlusselemente, welche mittels federkraftbelastetem oder vorgespanntem Schieber von einer geschlossenen in eine stromunterbrechende oder potentialtrennende Lage bewegbar sind und wobei die geschlossene Position der Anschlusselemente von einem Lot oder thermisch lösbaren Kleber gesichert ist, gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to an overvoltage protection device with activated in thermal overload case mechanical separating device, this comprising connection elements which are moved by means of spring loaded or biased slide from a closed to a current interrupting or potential separating position and wherein the closed position of the connection elements is secured by a solder or thermally releasable adhesive , according to the preamble of claim 1.
Überspannungsschutzgeräte mit thermischer Abtrennvorrichtung gehören seit längerer Zeit zum bekannten Stand der Technik. Aufgabe der Abtrennvorrichtung ist es, im Fall einer unzulässigen Erwärmung der Überspannungsschutzeinheit, z. B. eines Varistors, diesen vom Netz zu trennen, bevor eine Zerstörung des Ableiters eintritt.Overvoltage protection devices with a thermal cut-off device have long been part of the known state of the art. The task of the separation device is, in the event of inadmissible heating of the surge protection unit, z. B. a varistor, to disconnect it from the grid before a destruction of the arrester occurs.
Aus der EP 0 987 803 Bl oder der EP 0 905 839 Bl sind Abtrennvorrichtungen bekannt, die als massiver Schieber ausgebildet sind . Der entsprechende Schieber steht unter Federvorspannung und schützt je einen Varistor vor einer unzulässigen thermischen Aufheizung . Die Geschlossenposition der entsprechenden Anschlusselemente wird von einem Lot gesichert. Dieses Lot ist der ständigen Federvorspannkraft, die über den Schieber übertragen wird, ausgesetzt, was einen wesentlichen Nachteil darstellt. Je nach der Leistungsfähigkeit, d . h. der gewünschten Stoßstromtragfähigkeit, sind mehrere Abtrennvorrichtungen erforderlich, was einen kostenseitigen Nachteil darstellt. Es hat sich darüber hinaus gezeigt, dass bei den zitierten Lösungen des Standes der Technik beim Abtrennvorgang unter Bewegungsverlagerung des Schiebers Lotteilchen unter Bildung von Lotfäden mitgerissen werden mit der Folge einer nicht ausreichenden elektrischen Trennung .From EP 0 987 803 B1 or EP 0 905 839 Bl separating devices are known, which are designed as solid slide. The corresponding slide is spring preloaded and protects each a varistor from an inadmissible thermal heating. The closed position of the corresponding connection elements is secured by a solder. This solder is exposed to the constant spring biasing force transmitted via the slider, which is a significant disadvantage. Depending on the performance, d. H. the desired surge current carrying capacity, more separators are required, which is a cost disadvantage. It has also been shown that in the cited solutions of the prior art in the separation process with movement displacement of the slider solder particles are entrained to form solder filaments with the result of insufficient electrical isolation.
Aus dem Gebrauchsmuster DE 295 19 313 U l ist ein Überspannungsschutzgerät mit einer Abtrennvorrichtung der thermischen Art bekannt geworden, wobei über eine Trennwand die Abtrennvorrichtung vom eigentlichen Varistor separat positioniert ist. Die dortige Abtrennvorrichtung verfügt nur über eine geringe Stoßstromtragfähigkeit. Auch ist bei diesem Stand der Technik die Lotstelle einer ständigen Federvorspannkraft ausgesetzt.From the utility model DE 295 19 313 U l a surge protection device with a separation device of the thermal type has become known wherein the separation device is positioned separately from the actual varistor via a partition wall. The local separation device has only a low surge current capability. Also, in this prior art, the soldering point is exposed to a constant spring biasing force.
Bei der Zusammenschaltung mehrerer Abtrennvorrichtungen gemäß EP 0 716 493 ist für jeden dort vorgesehenen Varistor eine separate Abtrennvorrichtung notwendig, wobei sich sogar mehrere Abtrennvorrichtungen je Schutzpfad als erforderlich erweisen.In the interconnection of several separation devices according to EP 0 716 493, a separate separation device is necessary for each varistor provided there, with even several separation devices per protection path being required.
Aus dem Vorgenannten ist es daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein weiterentwickeltes Überspannungsschutzgerät mit im thermischen Überlastfall aktivierter mechanischer Abtrennvorrichtung anzugeben, wobei die insbesondere Lotverbindungsstelle der Anschlusselemente, die im Abtrennfall geöffnet wird, nicht ständig der Einwirkung einer mechanischen kraftseitigen Belastung unterliegen soll . Eine weitere Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Anschlusselemente der Abtrennvorrichtung so ausgeführt werden, dass sich eine hohe Stoßstromtragfähigkeit ergibt und das Ziel besteht, den quasi Kontaktdruck für den Ableitvorgang durch den Stoßstrom selbst zu produzieren.From the foregoing, it is therefore an object of the invention to provide a developed overvoltage protection device activated in thermal overload case mechanical separation device, the particular solder joint of the connection elements, which is opened in Abtrennfall not constantly subject to the action of a mechanical force-side load. Another object of the invention is that the connection elements of the separating device are designed so that there is a high surge current carrying capacity and the goal is to produce the quasi-contact pressure for the discharge process by the surge current itself.
Um die Kosten von Überspannungsschutzgeräten in Grenzen zu halten, soll gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Einsatz von Materialien, an die besondere elektrische, thermische oder mechanische Anforderungen gestellt werden, nur an ausgewählten Stellen erfolgen.In order to limit the cost of surge protection devices, according to the present invention, the use of materials to which special electrical, thermal or mechanical requirements are imposed, only at selected locations.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe der Erfindung erfolgt gemäß der Merkmalskombination nach Patentanspruch 1, wobei die Unteransprüche mindestens zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen darstellen.The object of the invention is achieved according to the combination of features according to claim 1, wherein the dependent claims represent at least expedient refinements and developments.
Demnach ist die erfindungsgemäße Abtrennvorrichtung konstruktiv so ausgeführt, dass die Zuführung zu den spannungsbegrenzenden Überspannungsschutzeinheiten, insbesondere Varistoren, durch zwei vom Stoßstrom in gleicher Richtung durchflossene Leiterabschnitte gebildet wird, die im Endbe- reich parallel verlaufen und in eine gemeinsame Verbindungsstelle, die von einem Lot gesichert ist, übergehen.Accordingly, the separating device according to the invention is structurally designed so that the supply to the voltage-limiting overvoltage protection units, in particular varistors, is formed by two conductor portions through which current flows in the same direction, which in the end rich parallel and pass into a common junction, which is secured by a Lot.
Durch den parallelen Stromfluss und die damit verbundenen Kraftwirkungen im Stoßstromfall ziehen sich die entsprechenden Abschnitte der Leiter bzw. Bügel an und bewirken zu diesem Zeitpunkt die gewünschte Erhöhung der Kontaktkraft an der Lotverbindungsstelle.Due to the parallel current flow and the associated force effects in the surge current case, the corresponding sections of the conductors or brackets and cause at this time the desired increase in the contact force at the solder joint.
Damit ist es möglich, die Lotstelle lediglich zur Fixierung der jeweiligen Abschnitte der Bügel auszulegen. Dies gestattet es, die mechanische Dimensionierung der Lotstelle auf ein absolutes Minimum zu beschränken und diese damit besonders thermisch sensibel auszuführen. Die Lotstelle besitzt also nur eine sehr kleine Wärmekapazität. Der notwendige Kontaktdruck für den Ableitvorgang wird gemäß der Erfindungslehre durch den Stoßstrom selber produziert.This makes it possible to design the Lotstelle only for fixing the respective sections of the bracket. This makes it possible to limit the mechanical dimensioning of the soldering point to an absolute minimum and thus make it particularly thermally sensitive. The Lotstelle thus has only a very small heat capacity. The necessary contact pressure for the discharge process is produced according to the theory of the invention by the surge current itself.
Die Anschlusselemente, welche aus einem Paar stromteilender metallischer Bügel bestehen, können aus einem mechanisch weniger festen Material ausgeführt werden. Durch die Aufteilung in die beiden parallelen Strombahnen kann die Dimensionierung der Leiterabschnitte kostengünstiger erfolgen, da die Stromdichte halbiert wird .The connection elements, which consist of a pair of current-dividing metallic straps, can be made of a mechanically less solid material. By dividing into the two parallel current paths, the dimensioning of the conductor sections can be carried out more cost-effectively, since the current density is halved.
Die Feder der Abtrennvorrichtung, deren Aufgabe darin besteht, im Fall des Aufschmelzens der Lotstelle den Schieber zwischen die Strombahnen zu verlagern und damit den Stromkreis zu unterbrechen, kann mit geringerer Federkraft ausgeführt werden, so dass eine niedrige Dauerbelastung der Lotstelle die Folge ist.The spring of the separating device, whose task is to shift in the case of melting the Lotstelle the slide between the current paths and thus interrupt the circuit can be performed with less spring force, so that a low continuous load of Lotstelle is the result.
Eine besonders positive symmetrische Gestaltung der Bügelabschnitte respektive der gesamten Bügel gestattet eine zentrische und damit kraftneutrale Positionierung und Führung des Schiebers durch diese. Eine z. B. keilförmige Ausführung des Schiebers unterstützt den Abtrennvorgang direkt. Da der Schieber im Abtrennfall direkt in die Lotstelle hinein fährt, werden negative Wirkungen beim Abtrennvorgang, z. B. die beim Stand der Technik vorhandenen Lötfäden wirksam unterbunden und eine sichere, spannungsfreie Trennung erreicht.A particularly positive symmetrical design of the bracket sections respectively the entire bracket allows a centric and thus force-neutral positioning and guiding the slider through it. A z. B. wedge-shaped design of the slide supports the separation process directly. Since the slider moves in Abtrennfall directly into the Lotstelle into, negative effects in the separation process, z. As in the prior art existing soldering effectively prevented and achieved a safe, stress-free separation.
Gemäß dem Stand der Technik werden bei Überspannungsschutzgeräten mit Varistoren letztere in ein Außengehäuse positioniert. Dabei werden die Varistoreinheiten mittels Verguss oder Pulverbeschichtung elektrisch von anderen Komponenten isoliert. Die Varistoren werden mit den jeweiligen Anschlusselementen als vorgefertigte Baugruppe in das Außengehäuse eingesetzt. Bei dieser Variante des Standes der Technik wird ein Teil der elektrischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften der Varistoreinheit, z. B. das Überlastverhalten im Fehlerfall durch den besonders auszulegenden Werkstoff des Außengehäuses übernommen. Es ist gemäß dem Stand der Technik also nicht ohne weiteres möglich, den kostengünstigsten Werkstoff für das Außengehäuse zu nutzen, sondern es ist ein Werkstoff auszuwählen, der z. B. hochtemperaturbeständig und nicht brennbar sein muss.According to the prior art, in the case of overvoltage protection devices with varistors, the latter are positioned in an outer housing. The varistor units are electrically isolated from other components by means of potting or powder coating. The varistors are used with the respective connection elements as a prefabricated module in the outer housing. In this variant of the prior art, a part of the electrical and mechanical properties of the varistor unit, for. B. the overload behavior in case of failure by the particularly auszulegenden material of the outer housing. It is not readily possible according to the prior art, to use the most cost-effective material for the outer housing, but it is a material to select, for. B. must be resistant to high temperatures and non-flammable.
Um diesen Nachteil zu vermeiden, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, die Überspannungsschutzeinheiten, insbesondere Varistoren, separat zu kapseln, d . h. diese in eine Gehäusekapselung einzubringen. Dabei ist nur das Material dieser Gehäusekapselung an die besonderen Anforderungen entsprechend auszuwählen.To avoid this disadvantage, the invention proposes to encapsulate the overvoltage protection units, in particular varistors, separately, d. H. to introduce these into a housing encapsulation. Only the material of this housing encapsulation is to be selected according to the special requirements.
Gemäß der Erfindung bestehen die Anschlusselemente aus einem Paar stromteilender metallischer Bügel, deren zur Überspannungsschutzeinheit, z. B. einem Varistor, gerichtete Enden parallel verlaufen und in ihrer Mitte die jeweilige Kontaktfahne der Überspannungsschutzeinheit aufnehmen.According to the invention, the connection elements consist of a pair of current-dividing metallic stirrups whose overvoltage protection unit, for. B. a varistor, directed ends run parallel and record in their midst the respective contact lug of the overvoltage protection unit.
Die der Überspannungsschutzeinheit abgewandten Enden der Bügel schließen einen Freiraum ein und sind miteinander verbunden. Diese Enden der Bügel besitzen darüber hinaus einen Abschnitt für äußere Anschlussteile oder Anschlussklemmen.The over-voltage protection unit facing away from the ends of the bracket include a space and are connected to each other. These ends of the brackets also have a section for external connection parts or terminals.
Im Freiraum ist der bereits erwähnte Schieber mit Vorspannfeder eingesetzt, wobei die Federvorspannung in Richtung Kontaktfahne der Überspannungs- schutzeinheit orientiert ist. Weiterhin ist entweder der Schieber eine Keilform besitzend ausgeführt und/oder es besitzen Abschnitte der Bügel eine Schrägfläche, um bei Schieberbewegung eine Kraftkomponente auf die parallel verlaufenden Enden der Bügel zu erzeugen derart, dass diese von der Kontaktfahne weg bewegbar sind . Im Bereich der parallel verlaufenden Enden der Bügel und der Kontaktfahne ist die mindestens eine Löt- oder Kleberverbindung ausgebildet.In the free space of the already mentioned slider is used with biasing spring, wherein the spring bias in the direction of the contact lug of the overvoltage protective unit is oriented. Furthermore, either the slider is designed to have a wedge shape and / or have portions of the bracket has an inclined surface to generate a slider component in a force component on the parallel ends of the bracket such that they are movable away from the contact lug. In the region of the parallel ends of the bracket and the contact lug, the at least one solder or adhesive connection is formed.
Der Schieber besitzt bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung einen im Wesentlichen ebenen Oberflächenabschnitt zur optischen Signalisierung der jeweiligen Schieberposition, und zwar bezogen auf ein entsprechendes Fenster, das im Außengehäuse angeordnet ist.The slider has in one embodiment of the invention has a substantially planar surface portion for optical signaling of the respective slide position, with respect to a corresponding window, which is arranged in the outer housing.
Unterhalb dieses Oberflächenabschnitts des beweglichen Schiebers ist eine vom Schieber freigebbare weitere Fläche zur optischen Signalisierung des Abtrennzustands vorgesehen. Der Oberflächenabschnitt des Schiebers und diese weitere Fläche ist bevorzugt verschiedenfarbig gestaltet.Below this surface portion of the movable slider, a releasable from the slider further surface for optically signaling the Abtrennzustands is provided. The surface portion of the slider and this further surface is preferably designed in different colors.
Im beweglichen Schieber ist in Längsrichtung ein Hohlraum zur Aufnahme eines Endes oder eines Abschnitts der Vorspannfeder befindlich. Darüber hinaus kann im Fuß des Schiebers eine Führungsnut eingebracht sein, um ein Verkanten bei der auszuführenden Bewegung zu verhindern.The movable slide has a cavity in the longitudinal direction for receiving one end or a portion of the biasing spring. In addition, in the foot of the slider, a guide groove may be introduced to prevent tilting in the movement to be performed.
Die parallel verlaufenden Enden der Bügel werden durch das Lot oder den Kleber lagefixiert. Beim Abtrennvorgang jedoch streben diese Enden durch eine vorsehbare mechanische Eigenspannung auseinander, was den Abtrennvorgang unterstützt.The parallel ends of the stirrups are fixed in position by the solder or the adhesive. During the separation process, however, these ends strive by a predictable mechanical residual stress apart, which supports the separation process.
Im Abtrennfall fährt der Schieber in den Lot- oder Kleberverbindungsbereich hinein und durchdringt diesen Bereich zur Vermeidung von insbesondere Lötfäden, so dass eine vollständige und sichere Abtrennung erreicht wird .In the separation case, the slider moves into the solder or adhesive connection area and penetrates this area to avoid soldering threads in particular, so that a complete and safe separation is achieved.
Der Schieber selbst besteht aus einem elektrisch isolierenden, insbesondere Kunststoffmaterial . Wie bereits erläutert, ist die mindestens eine Überspannungsschutzeinheit in einer Gehäusekapselung angeordnet, welche Öffnungen zur elektrischen Kontaktierung besitzt und wobei der Schieber auf dieser Gehäusekapselung angeordnet wird . Die Gehäusekapselung kann hierbei eine Schiene besitzen, die in die Führungsnut am Fuß des Schiebers eingreift.The slider itself consists of an electrically insulating, in particular plastic material. As already explained, the at least one overvoltage protection unit is arranged in a housing encapsulation which has openings for electrical contacting and wherein the slider is arranged on this housing encapsulation. The housing encapsulation may in this case have a rail which engages in the guide groove at the foot of the slider.
Der Abschnitt der Bügel für den Anschluss von äußeren Klemmen oder weiteren Anschlussteilen ist an der Gehäusekapselung befestigt oder stützt sich dort ab.The portion of the stirrups for connecting external terminals or other connection parts is fastened or supported on the housing encapsulation.
Mehrere Überspannungsschutzeinheiten, insbesondere Varistorscheiben, können in Parallelschaltung innerhalb der Gehäusekapselung angeordnet werden.Several overvoltage protection units, in particular varistor disks, can be arranged in parallel within the housing encapsulation.
Mehrere derartige Gehäusekapselungen mit darin befindlichen Überspannungsschutzeinheiten und jeweils vorgesehenen Bügeln und Schiebern können in paralleler Lage zueinander befindlich mit einem Sammelanzeigeele- ment in Verbindung stehen, um in einer logischen ODER-Verknüpfung den möglichen Abtrennfall anzuzeigen.A plurality of such housing encapsulations with overvoltage protection units therein and respective stirrups and slides can be connected in parallel to one another with a group display element in order to indicate in a logical OR operation the possible disconnection case.
Die Abschnitte für die äußeren Anschlussteile oder äußeren Anschlussklemmen sind insbesondere zur kostengünstig realisierbaren Schraubkontaktie- rung ausgebildet und weisen eine dementsprechende Abwinklung und gegebenenfalls eine oder mehrere Bohrungen auf.The sections for the outer connection parts or outer connection terminals are designed in particular for screw connections which can be realized cost-effectively and have a corresponding bend and possibly one or more holes.
Die in der Gehäusekapselung jeweils befindlichen Überspannungsschutzeinheiten sind in einem Reihenanschluss-Außengehäuse eingesetzt, das aus einem kostengünstigen Kunststoffmaterial gefertigt werden kann.The overvoltage protection units in each case in the housing encapsulation are used in a series connection outer housing, which can be manufactured from a cost-effective plastic material.
Ergänzend besteht die Möglichkeit, innerhalb des Reihenanschlussgehäuses mindestens einen Gasentladungsableiter in entsprechender elektrischer Ver- schaltung zu den weiteren Überspannungsschutzeinheiten anzuordnen.
