Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switching device with a rotary handle for actuating a switching mechanism of a service switching device with a housing having at least one upper housing wall, wherein the service switching device comprises an electromagnetic release with an armature and a thermal release, and wherein upon occurrence of a specific short-circuit current of the electromagnetic release via the armature a contact point directly aufutton and keeps permanently open on the switch lock, and further wherein the occurrence of a certain overcurrent of the thermal release via the switch lock keeps the contact permanently open, and wherein the rotary handle according to the switching position of the switch lock a switch-on and a switch-off and tripping of the electromagnetic or thermal release can assume a release position located between the switch-on and switch-off, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Electrical installation switching devices have u. a. a contact point arrangement with a fixed and a movable contact piece arrangement, a thermal and / or electromagnetic release and a switch lock, which cooperates on the one hand with the one or more triggers and on the other hand with the movable contact piece arrangement.
  • a latch mechanism In the case of triggering a latch mechanism is unlatched by the trigger, and the contact opening is usually via a lever system, such as a toggle lever system, which transmits in conjunction with other levers and tabs the movement of the switching mechanism on the contacts and this opens permanently.
  • a lever system such as a toggle lever system
  • the lever system can be moved via a rotary movement of a rotary handle and placed in an over-center position.
  • the rotary handle is then in its ON position.
  • a power storage is stretched.
  • the latching mechanism acts on transmission parts and thus on the contact point arrangement. When switching on, it is closed via the switch lock and opened when switched off.
  • Triggering unlocks the latch mechanism by overriding the latch support so that the lever system can collapse.
  • the switch lock acts in the collapse of the lever system due to the spring force in an opening manner.
  • the latch mechanism When resetting the rotary knob to the original position (switch-off position), the latch mechanism is reactivated so that the switch lock can be switched on again.
  • the switch lock can be released when the handle is held in the switch-on position without being affected.
  • the rotary handle In contact welding, the rotary handle must not enter the switch-off position and thereby notify the operator of a contact opening which, in actual fact, does not exist when the contact is welded.
  • the document EP 1 274 109 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Devices are also known in which the operator is indicated by an intermediate position of the rotary handle between the switch-on position and switch-off position, the so-called triggering position, when a triggering has taken place and therefore the latching mechanism is unlatched to distinguish this state from the state of conscious switch-off to be able to.
  • the rotary handle takes the triggering position regardless of whether the triggering occurred due to a short circuit or due to an overcurrent, so whether it is an electromagnetic or a thermal tripping has occurred, or whether tripping has been forced by an auxiliary switch attached to the device, such as an undervoltage release or a shunt release.
  • a tripping due to an overcurrent is known to occur when a current that exceeds the rated current by about 1.2 times longer than a predetermined time, for example, half an hour is applied.
  • Electromagnetic tripping due to a short-circuit current is known to occur when a current that significantly exceeds the rated current, so for example by ten to twenty times, occurs, because this greatly increased short-circuit current must be turned off very quickly.
  • the switching device housing thus comprises a display window
  • the switching device comprises a signaling lever acted upon by a signaling spring in a signaling display lever which is visible on displacement of the signaling lever into the signaling position in the viewing area of the display window, and which acts on the signaling lever in the direction of the signaling position Force of the signaling spring is blocked and is released only when a triggering of the electromagnetic release, so that the triggering of the electromagnetic release is indicated by the triggering position of the rotary handle and by the display panel visible in the viewing window.
  • the blocking of the force acting on the signaling lever in the direction of the signaling position force of the signaling spring is effected by a hold in its holding position the signaling lever captivating retaining lug.
  • the armature of the electromagnetic release with the retaining lug are in operative connection, so that the retaining lug releases the force of the signaling spring on the signaling lever in a release of the electromagnetic release.
  • the rotary handle takes when moving into its off position via a pin the signaling lever meanwhile off position, in which the retaining lug due to the force of a return spring in their holding position is reset.
  • the display panel is removed again from the viewing window, the display is reset to the normal state. Therefore, this position can also be called a reset position.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 each identical or equivalent elements or assemblies are each denoted by the same reference numerals.
  • FIG. 4 It schematically shows an inventive installation switching device 1 with a housing 20, of the example, two side walls 21,22 and a display window 24 having upper housing wall 23 are shown, and with a Polstrompfad 2 between an input terminal 3 and an output terminal 4.
  • the switching device is in the closed position. It could be, for example, a Polstrompfad a three-pole motor protection switch act whose other two Polstrompfade are constructed accordingly.
  • the pole current path 2 comprises two stationary contact pieces 5, 6 and two movable contact pieces 8, 9 arranged on a movable contact bridge 7, through which a contact point 10 with double interruption is formed.
  • the contact bridge 7 is acted upon by a contact pressure spring 11 in the closing direction, see directional arrow S.
  • a pusher 12 which engages the contact pressure spring 11 opposite side of the contact bridge 7, this can be applied in the opening direction, see direction arrow O.
  • the Polstrompfad 2 still includes a thermal release 113 and an electromagnetic release 13 with an armature that hits the contact bridge 7 in the opening direction in the event of a short circuit current occurring in the Polstrompfad 2 due to an electrodynamic recoil over the pusher 12, indicated by the action line 14.
  • the armature of the electromagnetic release 13 in the event of a short circuit on a switching mechanism 15 and unlatched Verklinkungsstelle, indicated by the action line 16, so that the switching mechanism 15 in the unlatched state via an active lever 17, indicated by the action line 18, the pusher 12 permanently in the opening direction the contact bridge 7 acted upon.
  • the function of the thermal release 113 which also acts on the switching mechanism 15 in the event of an overcurrent, the Verklinkungsstelle also unlatched and thus also the contact point 10 permanently open, indicated by the action line 14, is known in principle and not the subject of the present invention.
  • the mechanical system comprising the switching mechanism 15 and the active lever 17 may be, for example, a toggle lever system with a two-stage latch.
  • the active lever 17 is designed as a double arm lever whose first, acted upon by the switching mechanism 15 lever arm 171 and the second, cooperating with the pusher 12 lever arm 172 form an obtuse angle with each other and is rotatably mounted in a stationary axis of rotation 173, whereby the active lever 17 as a lever acts.
  • a switching device 30 is schematically mounted below the upper housing wall 23, below the upper housing wall 23, a switching device 30 according to the invention is schematically mounted. Its core is a signaling lever 31, which comprises an elongated base beam 32, at one end of which a display bar 33 is approximately T-shaped and at the other end a Ausschaltarm 34 is attached.
  • the signaling lever 31 is arranged with its longitudinal extension direction approximately parallel to the upper housing wall 23 longitudinally displaceable.
  • a signaling spring 35 which is supported at fixed points within the housing, acts on the indicator bar 33 the signaling lever 31 in the direction of the display window 24 out, indicated by the action arrow P.
  • the narrow side of the display bar 33 which carries a display plate 36, soft in a clearly visible signal color, but preferably not exclusively in red, is executed. Instead of a scattered display plate, the narrow side of the display bar 33 may also be painted red.
  • the entire signaling lever 31 consists of a - for example, red - colored material, that is, for example, a red plastic injection molded part.
  • the force of the signaling spring 35 which wants to move the signaling lever 31 in the direction of the display window 24, is blocked by a retaining lug 37, which is on the longitudinal side of the display bar 33 the signaling lever 31 on its way to the display window 24 in the way.
  • a circuit breaker wall 25 is still shown schematically, which limits the switching mechanism 15.
  • a rotary handle 40 is mounted, which engages with a pin 41 in a guide opening 26 in the upper housing wall 23.
  • the pin 41 is dimensioned so that it can be brought into engagement with the turn-off arm 34 of the signaling lever 31.
  • the rotary handle 40 carries an elongated handle portion 41, on which the position of the rotary handle 40 can be read.
  • Another line of action 43 indicates the functional interaction of the electromagnetic release 13 with the retaining lug 37.

  • FIG. 2a schematically shows the switching device 30, shown in isolation, in the on position according to FIG. 4 ,
  • FIG. 2b shows the switching device 30 in the release position after release of the electromagnetic release.
  • the retaining lug 37 was pivoted down under the action of the armature together with the magnetic lever to which it is attached. Thus, it has released the path of the signaling lever 31, so that it can be pressed by the force of the signaling spring 35 to the left to the display window 24.
  • the color-coded display plate 36 is visible through the display window 24 from the outside and indicates that an electromagnetic triggering occurred Has.
  • the signaling lever 31 is now in its signal position.

Also shows FIG. 3 a signaling lever 31, which is made of a colored plastic material in one piece by injection molding and is arranged displaceably in approximately tangential to the rotary handle in the direction of the broad side of the switching device housing.
  • the rotary handle 40 by hand from the release position according to FIG. 2b in its switch-off position according to Figure 2c is reset, it takes over an extension 41 in engagement with a Ausschaltarm 34 on the signaling lever 34 in the off position with, ie, he pulls the signaling lever 31 in the switching lock wall opposite direction and thus moves the display plate 36 again out of the field of view of the display window 24 out.
  • the signaling lever is moved a bit beyond its closed position, so that the path for the retaining lug, acted upon by a return spring, is released back into its holding position, and this moves back to the holding position.
  • the pawl mechanism in cooperation with the rotary handle 40 also ensures that the pin extension 46 is retracted to the height of the upper housing wall 23 and thus does not block a renewed activation of the rotary handle 40 by an operator.
  • the signaling spring 35 presses the signaling lever 31 in the direction of its signal position, but this is held by the retaining lug 37 in its closed position, see FIG. 2a ,
  • FIGS. 1a to 1c show schematically how the switch-on position ( FIG. 1 a) and the tripping position at thermal tripping ( FIG. 1 b) and with electromagnetic release ( FIG. 1c) seen from the front of the device by an operator.
  • thermal triggering of the rotary handle 40 is pivoted into its release position and held there by the pin extension 46, but in the display window 24 no color highlighted display plate visible. Because with thermal tripping the armature of the electromagnetic release was not activated, and thus the retaining lug 37 remains in its holding position.
