Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective device, in particular an overload relay for attachment to a switching device, in particular a contactor, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a combination switching device with a switching device, in particular a contactor, and a protective device attached thereto, in particular an overload relay, according to claim 6.
  • a generic protective device may in particular be a thermal or electronic overload relay, which can be assembled with a switching device in the form of a contactor to form a device combination.
  • a generic protection device has an insulating material housing, comprising a front side, a first and a second narrow side, a first and a second broad side, and a fastening side.
  • switchgear assemblies in which an additional terminal on the protective device, so for example the thermal or electronic relay is provided, to which a conductor piece is looped through to the inaccessible terminal on the switching device.
  • the inaccessible terminal of the protection device is in a sense relocated to the protection device at a location accessible there.
  • the disadvantage of this is that additional costs arise through the additional terminal and the looped conductor end.
  • the installer has a higher installation effort on site, since he must close two terminals when connecting, for example, the coil terminal.
  • switching device combinations have become known in which the coil connection terminal is arranged obliquely on the contactor and protrudes slightly from the housing in order to achieve better accessibility of the coil connection. Although this facilitates accessibility, but has the disadvantage that, if the conductor is then passed by the side of the device, space for further switching devices is lost.
  • An essential aspect of the invention is that the housing wall of the protective device, on a first side facing the switching device, and a second side facing away from the switching device, each have at least one first and second recess. has, and that the recesses are interconnected, so that the switching device is accessible through the recesses for connecting a connecting conductor.
  • the embodiment of the protective device according to the invention has the advantage that when the protective device is connected to the switching device to a combination switching device through the two recesses and their connection through a terminal on the side facing the protective device of the switching device from the side facing away from the switching device of the protection device remains accessible without requiring additional space and without having to attach an additional part to the switching device.
  • a connection conductor for example to a coil connection of a contactor to which an overload relay is attached, can thus be led through the recesses in the housing wall of the overload relay to the connection terminal of the contactor and screwed there.
  • the first and second recesses are preferably connected by a channel-shaped channel running at least partially in the housing wall of the protective device.
  • “Trough-shaped” means that the connecting channel is open on one of its longitudinal sides to the outside.
  • At least partially extending in the housing wall means that at least one extending in the longitudinal direction boundary wall of the channel-shaped channel is formed by the housing.
  • the term of the channel-shaped channel according to the invention also a channel fall, which is open on two longitudinal sides.
  • the surface geometry of such Two-way open channel can also appear as a stage in the housing surface, which runs in the longitudinal direction of the channel.
  • connection channel offers the possibility of guiding the connected coil wire along this channel.
  • An overload relay according to the invention can, for example, be fastened with one of its narrow sides to a narrow side of a contactor.
  • the terminal of the Contactors that should remain accessible, for example the coil terminal of the contactor, are located on the narrow side of the contactor to which the relay is attached.
  • the first recess is located in the housing wall of the overload relay at the level of the connection opening on the contactor, the second recess is located on the second narrow side of the housing of the overload relay facing away from the connection opening.
  • the channel-shaped channel then runs in a preferred embodiment of the invention in the front of the overload relay and connects the two recesses.
  • this constructive geometric configuration of the overload relay ensures that, despite a relatively small distance between the protective device and the switching device in the device combination, good accessibility of the connection opening, for example of the coil connection to the contactor, is ensured in the intermediate space between the devices.
  • the cross-sectional area of the first recess is greater than the cross-sectional area of the channel, and the channel is widened towards the first recess.
  • the channel can be widened, for example, by a bevel.
  • the first recess may for example be so large that it detects two or more adjacent terminal openings on the switching device, such as a coil terminal and one or more auxiliary contact terminals.
  • one or more connection conductors can optionally be routed through the channel to one or more connection openings.
  • This embodiment is advantageous, for example, in small shooters, which also have auxiliary contacts in addition to the main terminals and the coil terminal on the same level, because their accessibility can be achieved in a simple manner by an additional slope at the end of the connection channel.
  • Such an advantageously designed protective device is characterized in that the first recess in the housing wall is widened in two directions, wherein the directions of the widening perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction of the channel in the plane of the first, the switching device facing side of the housing wall.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a switching device combination according to the invention with a switching device and a protective device attached thereto in a first embodiment
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a switching device combination according to the invention with a switching device and a protective device attached thereto in a second embodiment

  • Fig. 4 shows the protective device of the embodiment of FIG. 2, viewed from the connection side.
  • the overload relay 4 is connected to its first housing side 41, Also referred to as the first narrow side, with the connection side 21, also referred to as a narrow side of the contactor 2 connected.
  • the distance between the contactor 2 and the overload relay 4 is very low, both are close to each other, so that a tight design is achieved with a small footprint.
  • the circumferential contour of the first narrow side 41 of the overload relay 4 is approximately equal to the peripheral contour of the connection side 21 of the contactor.
  • the contactor 2 has on its upper side of the housing 27 openings for the actuation of fferan gleichklemmen.
  • the openings 24, 25, 26 are assigned to the phase connections, the opening 23 to an auxiliary contact and the opening 22 to the coil connection.
  • the phase connection terminals and the auxiliary contact and coil connection terminals are arranged in one plane.
  • the first side of the housing 41 of the overload relay 4 has this a second side of the housing 42, also referred to as the second narrow side. This is stepped, so that a front narrow side 43 and a rear narrow side 44 is formed.

  • a groove-shaped channel 62 is introduced in the vicinity of the edge with the longitudinal side 60, the bottom of which runs at the level of the front front side 63 of the housing.
  • the channel 62 is open to the longitudinal side 60, so that one could also speak of a stepped contour.
  • the dashed contour lines 64 show the course of the housing contour if the channel-shaped channel 62 were not present. It can be seen that in this case, that is, if the housing had the contour drawn in dashed lines, the first narrow side 41 of the overload relay 4 would cover the narrow side 21 of the contactor 2 over the entire width of the narrow side. There would then no longer be access to the coil terminal 22a and the auxiliary contact terminal 23a on the contactor 2 given.
