Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bahn-Kippschalter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a railway toggle switch according to the preamble of claim 1.
Es sind Bahn-Kippschalter bekannt, die für mehrere Schaltstellungen konzipiert sind und ein Gehäuse, einen an dem Gehäuse gelagerten Bedienhebel mit einer Schwenkachse, eine an dem Gehäuse gelagerte Schaltwalze mit einer Drehachse, mehrere Mikroschalter und einen Einrastmechanismus zum Einrasten des Bedienhebels in den Schaltstellungen umfassen. Die Schaltwalze umfasst üblicherweise mehrere Nockenscheiben zur Betätigung der Mikroschalter.There are railway toggle switches are known which are designed for multiple switching positions and a housing, mounted on the housing control lever with a pivot axis, mounted on the housing shift drum with a rotation axis, a plurality of microswitches and a latching mechanism for locking the operating lever in the switch positions , The shift drum usually includes a plurality of cams for actuating the micro-switch.
Solche Bahn-Kippschalter sind bereits seit langem aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt und finden in den Steuerpulten von Zügen, U-Bahnen, etc. Anwendung. Bei vielen der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Bahn-Kippschalter ist der Bedienhebel einstückig mit der Schaltwalze ausgeführt oder fest mit dieser verbunden. Die Schwenkachse des Bedienhebels fällt somit mit der Drehachse der Schaltwalze zusammen. Die Außenabmessungen der Bahn-Kippschalter unterliegen größtenteils Normen der Zughersteller, wodurch die Austauschbarkeit in den Steuerpulten gewährleistet werden soll.Such railway toggle switches have long been known from the prior art and find in the control panels of trains, subways, etc. application. In many known from the prior art railway toggle switch, the operating lever is integral with the shift drum or firmly connected thereto. The pivot axis of the operating lever thus coincides with the axis of rotation of the shift drum. The outer dimensions of the railway toggle switches are largely subject to the standards of train manufacturers, which is to ensure interchangeability in the control panels.
Durch die Normung der Außenabmaße der Bahn-Kippschalter sind sowohl die Anzahl der Mikroschalter, die durch die Schaltwalze betätigt werden können, als auch die möglichen Schaltstellungen limitiert. Bei vielen der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Bahn-Kippschalter sind die Mikroschalter auf der dem Bedienhebel gegenüberliegenden Seite der Schaltwalze, somit also unterhalb der Schaltwalze, angeordnet. Eine schematische Darstellung eines aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Bahn-Kippschalters zeigt die
Aus
Da in modernen Zügen immer mehr und mehr Geräte und Funktionen vom Steuerpult aus bedient werden, besteht eine Forderung nach Kippschaltern, durch die zusätzliche Schaltstellungen sowie die Betätigung zusätzlicher Mikroschalter bei gleichbleibenden Außenabmessungen der Bahn-Kippschalter ermöglicht wird. Die Forderung nach zusätzlich betätigbaren Mikroschaltern begründet sich zudem auch schon dadurch, dass in modernen Transportsystemen durch Betätigung eines Kippschalters mittlerweile nicht mehr nur das betreffende Gerät oder die gewünschte Funktion geschaltet sondern durch gleichzeitige Betätigung eines zusätzlichen Mikroschalters auch ein Informationssignal an den Bordcomputer gesendet werden muss.Since in modern trains more and more devices and functions are operated from the control panel, there is a demand for toggle switches, the additional switching positions and the operation of additional micro-switch is made possible with constant outer dimensions of the railway toggle switch. The demand for additionally actuated microswitches is also already justified by the fact that in modern transport systems by pressing a toggle now no longer switched only the device or the desired function but by simultaneous operation of an additional microswitch and an information signal must be sent to the on-board computer.
Ein Bahn-Kippschalter nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 ist aus
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Bahn-Kippschalter der gattungsgemäßen Art bereitzustellen, der die Unterbringung und Betätigung einer Vielzahl von Mikroschaltern bei gleichzeitig kompakter Bauweise ermöglicht.Object of the present invention is to provide a railway toggle switch of the generic type, which allows the placement and operation of a variety of micro-switches with a compact design.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ergeben sich wesentliche Vorteile. Beispielsweise können auf den Trägerplatten Anschlussklemmen vorgesehen werden, die eine einfache Verkabelung des Bahn-Kippschalters ermöglichen. Die Mikroschalter werden vorzugsweise auf den Trägerplatten vormontiert. Durch die von der Schwenkachse des Bedienhebels unabhängige Anordnung der Drehachse der Schaltwalze können die notwendigen Platzverhältnisse geschaffen werden, um mehr Mikroschalter um die Schaltwalze herum anordnen zu können. Durch die Anordnung der Schwenkachse des Bedienhebels im Bereich der Gehäuseoberseite kann die für den Bedienhebel erforderliche Gehäuseöffnung klein gehalten werden, wodurch sich ein verbesserter Spritzwasserschutz bedingt. Dadurch, dass der Bedienhebel nicht fest mit der Schaltwalze verbunden ist, sondern mit dieser in Eingriff steht, kann zwischen Bedienhebel und Schaltwalze eine geeignete Übersetzung realisiert werden. Es ist somit möglich, mit relativ geringen Schwenkwinkeln des Bedienhebels die für den Schaltvorgang erforderlichen Drehwinkel der Schaltwalze zu erreichen.The inventive solution results in significant advantages. For example, terminals can be provided on the carrier plates, which allow easy wiring of the railway toggle switch. The microswitches are preferably preassembled on the carrier plates. By independent of the pivot axis of the control lever arrangement of the axis of rotation of the shift drum, the necessary space can be created to order more microswitches around the shift drum can around. By arranging the pivot axis of the operating lever in the region of the upper side of the housing required for the operating lever housing opening can be kept small, resulting in an improved splash water protection. The fact that the operating lever is not fixedly connected to the shift drum, but is engaged with this, a suitable translation can be realized between the control lever and shift drum. It is thus possible to achieve the required rotation angle of the shift drum with relatively small pivoting angles of the operating lever.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen der vorliegenden Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Further embodiments of the present invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform stehen Bedienhebel und Schaltwalze über Zahnradsegmente in Eingriff. Dazu ist ein erstes Zahnradsegment mit dem Bedienhebel, und ein zweites Zahnradsegment mit der Schaltwalze verbunden. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, zwischen Bedienhebel und Schaltwalze ein Übersetzungsverhältnis einzurichten. Sind zur Bedienung beispielsweise geringe Schwenkwinkel des Bedienhebels erwünscht, so können die erforderlichen Drehwinkel der Schaltwalze durch ein entsprechendes Übersetzungsverhältnis erzielt werden. Eingriff und Übersetzung können alternativ dazu auch durch ein Schiebegelenk erreicht werden.In a preferred embodiment, the control lever and shift drum are engaged via gear segments. For this purpose, a first gear segment with the operating lever, and a second gear segment is connected to the shift drum. In this way it is possible to establish a transmission ratio between the control lever and shift drum. If, for example, low pivoting angles of the control lever are desired for operation, then the required rotational angles of the shift drum can be achieved by means of a corresponding transmission ratio. Engagement and translation can alternatively be achieved by a sliding joint.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Nockenscheiben einzeln austauschbar auf der Schaltwalze angeordnet. Werden einige oder alle Mikroschalter an einer anderen Stelle der Schaltwalze angeordnet oder auch mehr Mikroschalter um die Schaltwalze herum positioniert, so muss nicht die ganze Schaltwalze ausgetauscht werden. Es reicht, wenn die entsprechenden Nockenscheiben angepasst oder auf der Schaltwalze gegenüber den übrigen Nockenscheiben verdreht werden. Die Anpassung kann auch vorgenommen werden, wenn ein Mikroschalter in einer anderen Schaltstellung als der ursprünglichen betätigt werden soll.In a further preferred embodiment, the cams are arranged individually replaceable on the shift drum. If some or all of the microswitches are arranged at a different location on the shift drum or if more microswitches are positioned around the shift drum, then it is not necessary to replace the entire shift drum. It is enough if the corresponding Cam discs adapted or twisted on the shift drum relative to the other cams. The adjustment can also be made when a microswitch is to be operated in a different switching position than the original one.
Vorzugsweise ist das mit der Schaltwalze verbundene zweite Zahnradsegment als Teil einer der Nockenscheiben ausgeführt. Dazu können Zahnradsegment und Nockenscheibe einstückig gefertigt werden.Preferably, the second gear segment connected to the shift drum is designed as part of one of the cam disks. These gear segment and cam can be made in one piece.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Zahnkranz eines der beiden Zahnradsegmente seitlich durch Wände abgeschlossen. Die Wände reichen in radialer Ausdehnung bis zu den Spitzen der Zähne. Somit kann verhindert werden, dass die Zahnradsegmente seitlich gegeneinander verschoben werden. Es wird dadurch sichergestellt, dass die Zahnradsegmente zu jeder Zeit einwandfrei ineinander greifen.In a further preferred embodiment, the sprocket of one of the two gear segments is closed laterally by walls. The walls extend radially to the tips of the teeth. Thus, it can be prevented that the gear segments are laterally shifted from each other. It ensures that the gear segments mesh perfectly at all times.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform umfasst der Einrastmechanismus mindestens ein mit dem Bedienhebel verbundenes Rastenelement mit jeweils einer Raste pro Schaltstellung sowie eine Rastnocke pro Rastenelement. Die Rastnocke ist dabei auf einem gefedert an dem Gehäuse gelagerten Hebelarm angeordnet und greift in einer Schaltstellung in die der Schaltstellung entsprechende Raste des Rastenelements ein.In a further preferred embodiment, the latching mechanism comprises at least one detent element connected to the operating lever, each having one detent per switching position and one detent cam per detent element. The locking cam is arranged on a spring-mounted on the housing lever arm and engages in a switching position in the switching position corresponding catch of the detent element.
Vorzugsweise umfasst der Einrastmechanismus zwei Rastenelemente, wobei die zwei Rastenelemente symmetrisch zu beiden Seiten des ersten Zahnradsegments angeordnet und mit dem ersten Zahnradsegment verbunden sind. Pro Rastenelement ist als Gegenstück jeweils eine Rastnocke vorgesehen. Beide Rastnocken sind gemeinsam auf einem gefedert gelagerten Hebelarm angeordnet. Durch die symmetrische Anordnung wird eine einseitige Belastung der Mechanik und somit ein Verklemmen vermieden und die Leichtgängigkeit des Bahn-Kippschalters sichergestellt.Preferably, the latching mechanism comprises two detent elements, wherein the two detent elements are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the first gear segment and connected to the first gear segment. Per catch element is provided as a counterpart in each case a latching cam. Both locking cams are arranged together on a spring-mounted lever arm. Due to the symmetrical arrangement, a one-sided load of the mechanism and thus jamming is avoided and ensures the ease of the toggle switch.
Vorzugsweise sind die Rastnocken nicht fest mit dem Hebelarm verbunden, sondern als drehbar an den Hebelarm gelagerte Walze ausgeführt. Die Walzen rollen bei einer Betätigung des Bahn-Kippschalters auf den zugehörigen Rastenelementen ab, wodurch die Leichtgängigkeit des Bahn-Kippschalters weiter erhöht wird.Preferably, the locking cams are not fixedly connected to the lever arm, but designed as rotatably mounted on the lever arm roller. The rollers roll upon actuation of the train toggle switch on the associated detent elements, whereby the ease of the toggle switch is further increased.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Mikroschalter seitlich neben der Schaltwalze auf einer Seite der Schaltwalze angeordnet. Durch die seitliche Anordnung sind die Mikroschalter gegenüber einer Anordnung unterhalb der Schaltwalze besser gegen Spritzwasser geschützt.In a further preferred embodiment, the microswitches are arranged laterally next to the shift drum on one side of the shift drum. Due to the lateral arrangement, the microswitches are better protected against splashing with respect to an arrangement below the shift drum.
Sollen mehr Mikroschalter betätigt werden als Mikroschalter auf einer Seite der Schaltwalze angeordnet werden können, so erfolgt die Anordnung der Mikroschalter vorzugsweise zu beiden Seiten der Schaltwalze. Auch hier besteht ein guter Schutz der Mikroschalter vor Spritzwasser, welches eventuell durch die für den Bedienhebel erforderliche Gehäuseöffnung eintreten kann.If more microswitches are to be actuated than microswitches can be arranged on one side of the shift drum, the arrangement of the microswitches preferably takes place on both sides of the shift drum. Again, there is a good protection of the microswitch from splashing, which may possibly occur due to the required for the operating lever housing opening.
Sollen mehr Mikroschalter betätigt werden als zu beiden Seiten der Schaltwalze aufgenommen werden können, so werden die Mikroschalter vorzugsweise zu beiden Seiten der Schaltwalze sowie unterhalb der Schaltwalze angeordnet. Die Nockenscheiben sind dazu entsprechend anzupassen.If more microswitches are to be actuated than can be accommodated on both sides of the shift drum, the microswitches are preferably arranged on both sides of the shift drum and below the shift drum. The cams are to be adapted accordingly.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Bedienhebel an dem Gehäuse in einem Lager gelagert, wobei das Lager als Kugelgelenk ausgeführt ist. Durch das Kugelgelenk wird die Abdichtung gegenüber Spritzwasser erheblich verbessert. Der Bedienhebel ist dabei prinzipiell frei beweglich, die Schwenkachse des Bedienhebels stellt somit lediglich eine gedachte Schwenkachse dar. Die Kugel des Kugelgelenks ist Teil des Bedienhebels, die Kugelgelenkschale wird durch einen Teil des Gehäuses gebildet.In a further preferred embodiment, the operating lever is mounted on the housing in a bearing, wherein the bearing is designed as a ball joint. The ball joint significantly improves the seal against sprayed water. The operating lever is in principle freely movable, the pivot axis of the operating lever thus represents only an imaginary pivot axis. The ball of the ball joint is part of the operating lever, the ball joint shell is formed by a part of the housing.
Vorzugsweise umfasst das Kugelgelenk einen Dichtungsring. Der Dichtungsring kann in eine Nut sowohl der Kugel als auch der Kugelgelenkschale eingebracht werden und ist üblicherweise aus Gummi oder einem aufquellenden Filzmaterial gefertigt. Ein höherer Bedienkomfort wird mit einem Filzmaterial erreicht.Preferably, the ball joint comprises a sealing ring. The sealing ring can be introduced into a groove of both the ball and the ball joint cup and is usually made of rubber or a swelling felt material. A higher operating comfort is achieved with a felt material.
Da der Bedienhebel durch das Kugelgelenk prinzipiell frei beweglich ist, weist das Gehäuse im Bereich des Lagers vorzugsweise Führungsflächen zur Führung des Bedienhebels auf. Durch diese Führungsflächen wird die Schwenkrichtung eindeutig festgelegt und die Schwenkachse des Bedienhebels wieder hergestellt.Since the operating lever is in principle freely movable by the ball joint, the housing in the region of the bearing preferably has guide surfaces for guiding the operating lever. By these guide surfaces, the pivoting direction is clearly defined and restored the pivot axis of the operating lever.
