Definitions

  • the invention relates to a railway toggle switch according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • railway toggle switches 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.
  • Such railway toggle switches have long been known from the prior art and find in the control panels of trains, subways, etc. application.
  • 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.
  • a cord switch for operating a heating pad comprises a housing, a shift drum and an operating lever. On the housing arranged terminals are connected depending on the switching position directly through the switching drum or running through the switching drum trace. In order to ensure the required switching performance in multiple switching positions, there is a translation device between the operating lever and the switching drum, through which the rotation angle of the operating lever are smaller than the rotational angle of the switching drum. The switch is not designed to operate microswitches. The required for operating the operating lever housing opening is very large and does not provide adequate protection against water spray.
  • a railway toggle switch according to the preamble of independent claim 1 is made DE 9402338 U1 known.
  • the micro-switches are screwed together as a package and attached to a frame arranged within the switch housing.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the necessary space can be created to order more microswitches around the shift drum can around.
  • the pivot axis of the operating lever 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.
  • control lever and shift drum are engaged via gear segments.
  • a first gear segment with the operating lever, and a second gear segment is connected to the shift drum.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the sprocket of one of the two gear segments is closed laterally by walls.
  • the walls extend radially to the tips of the teeth.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • microswitches are preferably arranged on both sides of the shift drum and below the shift drum.
  • the cams are to be adapted accordingly.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the housing in the region of the bearing preferably has guide surfaces for guiding the operating lever.
  • the pivoting direction is clearly defined and restored the pivot axis of the operating lever.
