Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical switch having an elastically deformable contactor which can be moved against a spring force from a basic position to a switching position, wherein a connection of the contactor changes from a first to a second elective contact body.
  • a switch of this type is described for example in EP 0 837 483 A2 mentioned as prior art and is shown in FIG. 24 of the document
  • Auslegeschrift 1 168 993 is also concerned with an electric snap-action switch with the aim of making the friction and rolling movements of the contact pieces stronger.
  • a rigid contact arm which is articulated at its end facing away from the contact points, is pushed by a switching arm between two terminals. and moved.
  • the contactor is configured so that it has two curved areas spaced from each other, between which a pull tab formed in such a way that it is without the angle between the arched area and end to change range, is elastically deformable.
  • the attachment point of the pull tab at the end of the lever describes at the same time an arcuate movement by the forced arcuate movement of the attachment point or the connection point between pull tab and lever and the simultaneous support of the end region via the contact points on the contact surfaces is achieved that a force is generated in the longitudinal direction of the switch, which moves the contact point on the contact surface linearly approximately horizontally by the relative to the pull tab relatively stiff connection of the curved portion of the contactor to the end portion
  • the contactor will not change an angle in the transitional area between the arched area and the end area.
  • the switch according to the invention is not limited to embodiments as are known, for example, from the abovementioned prior art, but rather is essential to the invention in that a rigid connection is provided to the switch.
  • the tension spring moves the end portion of the contactor substantially linearly and parallel to the contact surfaces of the selector contact body with simultaneous elastic overblowing of the contactor to the end portion of the contactor and a flexible connection of the pull tab to the end region arched portion of the contactor
  • the actuating element is moved in a linear direction perpendicular to the contact surfaces of the selector contact body and thereby deflects the lever so that the connection point at the non-rotatably mounted end of the lever describes a circular motion.
  • This circular movement is supported by the support points of the contact points on the Contact surfaces on the pull tab implemented in a linear movement of the contact points of the contact points on the contact surfaces
  • the deflection, ie the rotation of the lever can also be effected by a rotational movement of the actuating element with a suitable arrangement of the actuating element.
  • an actuating element forms an extension of the pull tab or of the lever.
  • the convex side of the curved portion of the elastically deformable contactor on the actuating element ie upwards
  • the support point of the curved portion is chosen so that it is supported on the common contact body on the side of the flexible pull tab on which the buckle is not located
  • the support point of the curved portion is arranged on the common contact body at a distance from the flexible pull tab, so that the spring force of the prestressed mounted curved portion generates a torque in the basic position of the contactor and so the first contact parts at the end portion of the contactor with a first Contact surface of the first selector contactor is biased in communication and the actuator remains in its initial position
  • the first contact location Upon deflection of the hoist to which the pull tab is attached to a point where the vertical distance between the flexible pull tab and the curved point support point to the common contact body becomes zero, the first contact location remains in connection with the first contact area reaches the switching point, since in this point the torque which prints the first contact point on the first contact point, because of the lack of lever arm is also zero.
  • the switching point or the switching time is reached half way of the actuating element from the basic position to Heidelbergsteliung
  • such a configuration is not necessarily required.
  • the movement of the flexible pull tab from the switching point in the switching division, in which the second contact point is in communication with the second contact surface is achieved by the almost invariability of the angle between arched portion and end portion that the end portion and the pull tab is not in a plane Due to the relatively rigid connection between the arched area and the end area, where the pull tab is also fastened, and the forced arcuate path, the end area becomes approximately parallel to the contact areas in the direction of the connecting point of the pull tab with the lifting! moved to the second contact point is supported with its contact point on the contact surface, so that the movement component perpendicular to the contact surface of the end portion can not be performed, and the contact force can act in this direction.
  • the contactor is arranged in the receptacle that its curved portion is arranged on the same side of the pull tab as the actuator
  • an inverted arrangement of the contactor so with the curved portion on the other side, d. h under the pull tab lent, with a suitable choice of the support point of the curved portion on the ge
  • the position of the actuating element does not change in the normal position.
  • the arched area or A further possibility of forming the contactor would be an integrally produced curved area with an invariably angled in its angle end portion, to which a pull tab is so rotatably attached, for example, that it can be connected to the lever, and such a tensile force in the direction of the pull tab transmits to the end region, whereby on the one hand the linear movements of the contact points on the contact surfaces is ensured, and on the other hand, the change of contact points from one contact surface to the other contact surface by deflecting the He bels is accomplished.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the switch according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the switch of FIG. 1,
  • FIGS. 3 a) to d) show the switch according to the invention in accordance with FIG. 1 in the various switching positions
  • FIGS. 4 a) and b) show further embodiments of the contactor
  • FIG. 1 shows a contact transmitter 8 arranged approximately centrally in a receptacle 2 or in a housing 2, which has a curved region 16, a pull tab 14 and an end region 18. An angle 17 is clamped between the end region 18 and the curved region 16 , which remains almost unchanged with elastic deformation of the contactor
  • the contactor 8 is attached to the free end of the curved portion 16 at Ab-point 36 on the contact body 6 such that the elastic deformation of the curved portion 16 via the support point 36 which is mounted below the pull tab 14, a torque on the Contactor 8 exerts, so that the support point 34 is pressed against the first contact surface 22. Due to the much stronger design of the curved portion 16 relative to the pull tab 14, the torque released by it pushes the support point 34 further against the first contact surface 22, while the pull tab 14 is forced into the arcuate path until the pull tab 14 reaches the support point 36. In this case, only the force component directed in the longitudinal direction of the receptacle 2 shifts the end region 18 of the contactor 8 in the longitudinal direction of the receptacle 2 on the contact surface 22
  • the arrangement of the two selector contact body 20 and 24 and the common contact body 6, the contactor 8 and the actuating element 4 is only one embodiment, which can be modified to meet a variety of conditions of use of such a switch
  • FIGS. 3 a) to d) show the switch according to the invention according to FIG. 1 in different positions.
  • 3 a shows the switch in the basic position, in which the first contact point 10 is in conductive connection with the first contact surface 22 on the first select contact body 20 Due to the vertical spacing of the support point 36 of the curved region on the common contact body 6, a torque is generated by the curved region 16, which presses the contact point 10 against the contact surface 22
  • the support point 34 is moved closer to the contact body 6 only in its horizontal position by the linear movement, as from the distance of the two vertical lines which from the support point 34 in Figures 3 a) and 3 b) down or moved up, is recognizable. This distance represents the length of the friction path or the linear movement of the contact point 10 on the contact surface 22.
  • the switch according to the invention is transferred from the switching division of FIG. 3 c) into the switching point of FIG. 3 d) by reducing the pressure on the actuating element 4 so that the potential energy stored in the elastically deformable contactor 8 is the actuating element 4 moves upward in the plane of the drawing
  • the pull tab sweeps over the switching point, as shown in Figure 3 d) and in which the pull tab is at the level of Abstutzins 36, causes a further movement of the pull tab 14 upwards simultaneously a linear movement of the end portion 18 upwards whereby the second contact point 12 lifts from the second contact surface 26 and the first contact point 10 again comes into conductive connection with the first contact surface 22.
  • FIGS. 4 a) and 4 b Two embodiments for a contactor 8 are shown in FIGS. 4 a) and 4 b), wherein in FIG. 4 a) the curved region 16 has two bulges outside a centrally arranged pull tab 14.
  • the contactor which is shown in FIG. 4 b) , Has a central curved portion 16, on whose outer edges in each case the pull tab 14 is guided past, which are connected to each other at the ends 18 opposite ends.
