Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektromagnetischen Auslöser für ein Installationsschaltgerät, insbesondere für einen Leitungsschutzschalter, mit einem feststehenden Magnetkern und einem beweglichen Magnetanker, die in einem zylindrischen, rohrförmigen Spulenkörper mit einer Mittelachse angeordnet sind, mit einer um den Spulenkörper gewickelten Spule, die zwei Endteile aufweist und an jedem Endteil ein Anschlussstück, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an electromagnetic release for a service switching device, in particular for a circuit breaker, with a fixed magnetic core and a movable armature, which are arranged in a cylindrical, tubular bobbin having a central axis, with a wound around the bobbin coil having two end portions and at each end part a fitting, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein Installationsschaltgerät, insbesondere einen Leitungsschutzschalter oder Fehlerstromschutzschalter, mit wenigstens einem elektromagnetischen Auslöser, welcher einen zylindrischen, rohrförmigen Spulenkörper mit einer Mittelachse, eine um den Spulenkörper gewickelte Spule, die zwei Endteile und an jedem Endteil ein Anschlussstück aufweist, umfasst, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 5.The invention also relates to an installation switching device, in particular a circuit breaker or residual current circuit breaker, comprising at least one electromagnetic actuator comprising a cylindrical tubular bobbin having a central axis, a coil wound around the bobbin, the two end portions and a terminal piece at each end portion the preamble of claim 5.

Leitungsschutzschalter besitzen einen elektromagnetischen und einen thermischen Auslöser, von denen der thermische Auslöser bei Auftreten eines Überstromes und der elektromagnetische Auslöser bei Auftreten eines Kurzschlussstromes zur Ausschaltung des Schaltgerätes beitragen. Während der thermische Auslöser lediglich auf eine Verklinkungsstelle innerhalb eines Schaltschlosses, das mit einem beweglichen Kontakthebel gekoppelt ist, zu deren Entklinkung einwirkt, öffnet der elektromagnetische Auslöser bei Auftreten eines Kurzschlussstromes den Kontakthebel unmittelbar durch Aufschlagen; gleichzeitig betätigt der elektromagnetische Auslöser auch das Schaltschloss, damit das Schaltgerät bleibend geöffnet ist.Circuit breakers have an electromagnetic and a thermal release of which contribute to the elimination of the switching device in the event of an overcurrent and the electromagnetic release on occurrence of a short-circuit current, the thermal release. While the thermal release acts only on a Verklinkungsstelle within a switch lock, which is coupled to a movable contact lever, for their unlatching action, the electromagnetic release opens when a short-circuit current occurs, the contact lever directly by striking; At the same time, the electromagnetic release also actuates the switch lock so that the switching device is permanently open.

Ein gattungsgemäßer elektromagnetischer Auslöser besitzt üblicherweise einen feststehenden Kern, dem ein beweglicher Anker zugeordnet ist, wobei der Kern und der Anker von einem Spulenrohr umfasst sind, so dass der Anker optimal bezogen auf den Kern geführt ist. Um das Spulenrohr herum ist eine Spule gewickelt, die bei Auftreten eines Kurzschlusses von einem Kurzschlussstrom durchflossen ist. Der Kern ist als eigenständiges Bauteil an einen Joch oder einer Kernplatte angebracht, die dem Kontakthebel zugewandt ist, damit beim Auftreten eines Kurzschlussstromes der Kern mithilft, den Anker ins Innere der Spule hineinzuziehen. Der Anker treibt dabei einen Schlagstift heraus, der dann auf den Kontakthebel öffnend wirken kann.A generic electromagnetic actuator usually has a fixed core to which a movable armature is assigned, the core and the armature being covered by a coil tube, so that the armature is guided optimally with respect to the core. Around the coil tube, a coil is wound, which is traversed by a short circuit current when a short circuit occurs. The core is attached as a separate component to a yoke or a core plate, which faces the contact lever, so that the occurrence of a short-circuit current, the core helps to pull the anchor into the interior of the coil. The anchor drives out a striker, which can then act on the contact lever opening.

Gattungsgemäße elektromagnetische Auslöser sind bekannt, beispielsweise aus der DE 60 2004 001 817 T2 . Bei der dort gezeigten Ausführung entfernen sich die Enden der Induktionsspule tangential von den Wicklungen der Spule. Dadurch ist es erforderlich, dass die Spule bei der Montage des elektromagnetischen Auslösers in der richtigen Position dem Spulenrohr zugeführt wird. Ein Verdrehen der Spule führt zu einer Fehlmontage, da dann die Enden der Spule nicht mehr zu ihren Anschweißpunkten im Gerät passen. Solche elektromagnetischen Auslöser lassen sich heute mit hoher Wirtschaftlichkeit nur manuell fertigen. Bei einer automatisierten Montage ist der Aufwand, der betrieben werden müsste, um dem Montageautomaten die Spulen in genau der richtigen Lage zuzuführen, sehr hoch, so dass eine automatisierte Montage des elektromagnetischen Auslösers nicht wirtschaftlich ist..Generic electromagnetic triggers are known, for example from the DE 60 2004 001 817 T2 , In the embodiment shown there, the ends of the induction coil remove tangentially from the windings of the coil. As a result, it is necessary that the coil is supplied to the coil tube in the correct position during assembly of the electromagnetic release. A twisting of the coil leads to a faulty assembly, because then the ends of the coil no longer match their welding points in the device. Such electromagnetic triggers can be manufactured today with high efficiency only manually. In an automated assembly, the effort that would have to be operated in order to feed the coils in exactly the correct position to the automatic assembly machine is very high, so that an automated assembly of the electromagnetic release is not economical.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt im Lichte des Standes der Technik daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen elektromagnetischen Auslöser zu schaffen, der in einem automatisierten Montageprozess einfacher und weniger aufwändig zusammengesetzt werden kann.The present invention is therefore in the light of the prior art, the object to provide an electromagnetic release, which can be assembled easier and less expensive in an automated assembly process.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird bezüglich des elektromagnetischen Auslösers erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen gattungsgemäßen elektromagnetischen Auslöser mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The object of the invention is based on the electromagnetic release solved according to the invention by a generic electromagnetic release with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß sind die Anschlussstücke spiegelsymmetrisch bezogen auf eine gedachte Spiegelebene angeordnet und aufgebaut, wobei die Spiegelebene in der Mitte zwischen den beiden Endteilen senkrecht zur Mittelachse der Spule verläuft, und jedes Anschlussstück entfernt sich in einer zur Mittelachse parallelen Richtung von den Wicklungen der Spule. Aus dem spiegelsymmetrischen Aufbau ergibt sich, dass ein Verdrehen der Spule beim Zuführen zu einem Fertigungsautomaten keine negativen Auswirkungen mehr hat. Denn auch wenn bei einem erfindungsgemäßen elektromagnetischen Auslöser die Spule um 180° verdreht ist, so sind die Anschlussstücke der Spule immer noch in der gleichen Lage bezogen auf ihre Anschweißpunkte im Gerät. Die Spule ist somit rechts- oder links herum anschweißbar. Damit wird eine wirtschaftliche automatisierte Montage eines elektromagnetischen Auslösers möglich.According to the invention, the connecting pieces are arranged and constructed mirror-symmetrically with respect to an imaginary mirror plane, the mirror plane extending in the middle between the two end parts perpendicular to the central axis of the coil, and each connecting piece moves away from the windings of the coil in a direction parallel to the central axis. From the mirror-symmetrical structure it follows that twisting the coil when feeding to a production machine no longer has any negative effects. Because even if in accordance with the invention Electromagnetic release the coil is rotated by 180 °, so the fittings of the coil are still in the same position relative to their welding points in the device. The coil can thus be welded to the right or left. This enables an economical automated assembly of an electromagnetic release.

Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung befindet sich an einer Stirnseite des Spulenkörpers eine mit dem Magnetkern verbundene Anschlusslasche, die in einer zur Mittelachse parallelen Richtung von dem Spulenkörper weg verläuft. An dieser Anschlusslasche kann ein Anschlussstück der Spule angeschweißt werden. Die Anschlusslasche kann so lang gemacht werden, dass sie die Länge des Anschlussstückes aufnimmt. Der Abstand der Anschlusslasche von der Mittelachse entspricht dem Abstand der Anschlussstücke der Spule von der Mittelachse wenn die Spule auf dem Spulenkörper aufgeschoben ist, so dass bei einem Aufschieben der Spule auf den Spulenkörper das Anschlussstück an die Anschlusslasche in Anlage kommt und mit dieser verschweißt werden kann.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is located on an end face of the bobbin connected to the magnetic core connecting plate which extends in a direction parallel to the central axis direction of the bobbin away. At this connecting lug a connection piece of the coil can be welded. The terminal lug can be made long enough to accommodate the length of the fitting. The distance of the connecting tab from the central axis corresponds to the distance of the connecting pieces of the coil from the central axis when the coil is pushed onto the bobbin, so that when the coil is pushed onto the bobbin, the connecting piece comes into contact with the connecting lug and can be welded thereto ,

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung liegt eine Stirnseite des zylindrischen Spulenkörpers an einer mit dem Magnetkern verbundenen Kernplatte an, an der die Anschlusslasche angeformt ist.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is an end face of the cylindrical bobbin on a connected to the magnetic core core plate on which the terminal lug is formed.

Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Abstand zwischen der an der Kernplatte anliegenden Stirnseite des Spulenkörpers und dem Endteil der Spule, das dieser benachbart ist, größer ist als der Abstand zwischen der gegenüberliegenden Stirnseite des Spulenkörpers und dem Endteil der Spule, das dieser benachbart ist. Damit kann die Spule optimal auf dem Spulenrohr positioniert werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the distance between the end face of the bobbin adjacent the core plate and the end portion of the coil adjacent thereto is greater than the distance between the opposite end face of the bobbin and the end portion of the coil adjacent thereto is. Thus, the coil can be optimally positioned on the coil tube.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird bezüglich des Installationsschaltgerätes erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein gattungsgemäßes Installationsschaltgerät mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 5. Demgemäß ist erfindungsgemäß die Spule mit den Anschlussstücken spiegelsymmetrisch bezogen auf eine gedachte Spiegelebene, die in der Mitte zwischen den beiden Endteilen senkrecht zur Mittelachse der Spule verläuft, und jedes Anschlussstück entfernt sich in einer zur Mittelachse parallelen Richtung von den Wicklungen der Spule.With respect to the service switching device according to the invention is achieved by a generic service switching device with the characterizing features of claim 5. Accordingly, according to the invention, the coil with the fittings mirror-symmetrically based on an imaginary mirror plane in the middle between the two end portions perpendicular to the central axis of the Coil extends, and each terminal moves away in a direction parallel to the central axis of the windings of the coil.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Verbesserungen der Erfindung und weitere Vorteile sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantageous embodiments and improvements of the invention and further advantages can be taken from the subclaims.

Ein Leitungsschutzschalter 20 (siehe Fig. 2) besitzt ein schematisch dargestelltes Schaltschloss 21 mit einer Verklinkungsstelle (nicht dargestellt). Das Schaltschloss 21 ist mit einem drehbar gelagerten Kontakthebel 22 gekoppelt. Der Kontakthebel 22 trägt an seinem freien Ende ein bewegliches Kontaktstück 23, welches zusammen mit einem festen Kontaktstück 24 eine Kontaktstelle 25 bildet. Dem feststehenden Kontaktstück 24 ist ein Lichtbogenleitblech 26 zugeordnet, welches einen der Fußpunkte eines Lichtbogens, welches bei Öffnung der Kontaktstelle 25 entsteht, beispielsweise in eine Löschkammer 27 führt. Zwischen einer ersten Anschlussklemme 28 und einer zweiten Anschlussklemme 29 führt ein Strompfad durch den Leitungsschutzschalter, der durch verschwenken des Kontakthebels 22 und damit einhergehendes Öffnen der Kontaktstelle 25 unterbrochen werden kann.A circuit breaker 20 (see Fig. 2 ) has a schematically illustrated switching mechanism 21 with a Verklinkungsstelle (not shown). The switching mechanism 21 is coupled to a rotatably mounted contact lever 22. The contact lever 22 carries at its free end a movable contact piece 23, which forms a contact point 25 together with a fixed contact piece 24. The stationary contact piece 24 is associated with an arc guide plate 26, which leads one of the bases of an arc, which arises when opening the contact point 25, for example, in a quenching chamber 27. Between a first terminal 28 and a second terminal 29 performs a current path through the circuit breaker, which can be interrupted by pivoting the contact lever 22 and associated opening of the contact point 25.

Dem beweglichen Kontakthebel 22 ist ein elektromagnetischer Auslöser 1 zugeordnet, der einen Anker 13 aufweist, welcher im Inneren eines zylinderrohrförmigen Spulenkörpers 2 in Pfeilrichtung P verschieblich gehalten ist. Bei Anliegen eines Kurzschlussstromes bewegt sich der Anker 13 in Pfeilrichtung P Innere des Spulenkörpers 2 hinein, angezogen von dem Kern 30. Er trifft dort, direkt oder indirekt, auf einen Schlagstift 29, von dem in der nicht ausgelösten Stellung nach Fig. 1 und 2 nur die äußerste Spitze zu sehen ist. Der Anker 13 treibt den Schlagstift in Pfeilrichtung P aus dem Spulenkörper 2 heraus, so dass dieser gegen den Kontakthebel 22 trifft und diesen in Öffnungsrichtung verschwenkt. Gleichzeitig wird über eine gestrichelt dargestellt Wirklinie eine Verklinkungsstelle in dem Schaltschloss 21 entklinkt, so dass die Kontaktstelle 25 auch nach Kontaktöffnung, wenn der Kurzschlussstrom nicht mehr anliegt, geöffnet bleibt. Weitere Einzelheiten zur konkreten Ausgestaltung dieser Kopplung, so wie auch der thermische Auslöser und dessen Kopplung mit dem Schaltschloss und weitere Einzelheiten sind hier nicht dargestellt, da jede bekannte Ausführungsform dazu herangezogen werden kann.The movable contact lever 22 is associated with an electromagnetic release 1, which has an armature 13 which is held displaceably in the direction of arrow P in the interior of a cylindrical tube-shaped bobbin. When a short-circuit current is applied, the armature 13 moves in the direction of the arrow P inside the bobbin 2, attracted by the core 30. He meets there, directly or indirectly, on a striker 29, of which in the untripped position Fig. 1 and 2 only the extreme tip can be seen. The armature 13 drives the striker in the direction of arrow P out of the bobbin 2, so that it meets against the contact lever 22 and this pivots in the opening direction. At the same time is dashed over one shown line of action unlatched a Verklinkungsstelle in the switching mechanism 21, so that the contact point 25 remains open after contact opening when the short-circuit current is no longer applied. Further details of the specific embodiment of this coupling, as well as the thermal release and its coupling with the switching mechanism and other details are not shown here, since any known embodiment can be used to.

Der Aufbau des elektromagnetischen Auslösers 1 soll nun näher betrachtet werden, siehe Fig. 1. Der Spulenkörper 2 hat die Form eines zylindrischen Rohres mit einer Mittelachse 3 zwischen den Punkten X und X'. In dessen Innerem ist an der in der Fig. 1 linken Seite der Kern befestigt, von dem ein kleines herausragendes Stück mit der Bezugsziffer 30 zu sehen ist. Der Kern ist an einer Kernplatte 12 befestigt, an der sich die linke Stirnseite des Spulenrohres 2 abstützt. Mit der Kernplatte 12 ist ein erstes Blech verbunden, welches als Lichtbogenleitblech 26 nach rechts abgewinkelt ist und parallel zu der Mittelachse 3 unterhalb des Spulenkörpers 2 verläuft. Weiter ist mit der Kernplatte 12 eine Lasche 11 verbunden, die nach links abgewinkelt ist und parallel zur Mittelachse 3 von der linken Stirnseite des Spulenkörpers weg verläuft.The structure of the electromagnetic release 1 will now be considered closer, see Fig. 1 , The bobbin 2 has the shape of a cylindrical tube with a central axis 3 between the points X and X '. In the inside is at the in the Fig. 1 attached to the left side of the core, of which a small protruding piece with the reference numeral 30 can be seen. The core is attached to a core plate 12, on which the left end of the coil tube 2 is supported. With the core plate 12, a first sheet is connected, which is angled as an arc guide plate 26 to the right and extends parallel to the central axis 3 below the bobbin 2. Next, a tab 11 is connected to the core plate 12, which is angled to the left and runs parallel to the central axis 3 of the left end side of the bobbin away.

Auf den Spulenkörper 2 ist eine Spule 4 aufgewickelt. Ihre beiden Anschlussstücke 7, 8 sind spiegelsymmetrisch bezogen auf eine gedachte Spiegelebene 9 angeordnet und ausgeführt, siehe Schnittlinie YY', die in der Mitte zwischen den beiden Endteilen 5, 6 senkrecht zur Mittelachse 3 der Spule 4 verläuft. Jedes Anschlussstück 7, 8 entfernt sich in einer zur Mittelachse 3 parallelen Richtung von den Wicklungen der Spule 4. An dem linken Anschlussstück 8 ist die Spule 4 mit der Lasche 11 verschweißt. An dem rechten Anschlussstück 7 ist die Spule 4 mit einer Leitschiene 31 verschweißt, die die Verbindung zu der Anschlussklemme 29 herstellt.On the bobbin 2, a coil 4 is wound. Their two connecting pieces 7, 8 are mirror-symmetrically related to an imaginary mirror plane 9 arranged and executed, see section line YY ', which runs in the middle between the two end portions 5, 6 perpendicular to the central axis 3 of the coil 4. Each connecting piece 7, 8 moves away in a direction parallel to the central axis 3 from the windings of the coil 4. At the left connection piece 8, the coil 4 is welded to the tab 11. At the right connection piece 7, the coil 4 is welded to a guide rail 31, which establishes the connection to the connection terminal 29.

Wegen der Spiegelsymmetrie der Anschlussstücke 8, 9 sind diese gleich lang. Der Abstand von jedem Endteil 6, 5 der Spule 4 zu dem Ende des zugehörigen Anschlussstücks 8, 7 ist auf jeder Seite gleich groß. Die Anschlussstücke 8, 7 verlaufen parallel zu der Mittelachse 3 in einem Abstand a von dieser. Der Abstand a ist so gewählt, dass die Anschlussstücke 8, 9 an der Lasche 11 zum Anliegen kommen, wenn die Spule 4 auf den Spulenkörper 2 aufgeschoben ist. Es ist kein Zurechtbiegen des Anschlussstückes 8 erforderlich, um es in die für eine Verschweißung mit der Anschlusslasche 11 richtige Lage zu bringen, das Aufschieben der Spule 4 auf den Spulenkörper 2 genügt. Dies ist wichtig für eine wirtschaftlich durchzuführende automatische Montage. Auch wenn die Spule 4 um 180° bezüglich der Ebene 9 verdreht auf den Spulenkörper 2 aufgeschoben wird, passt das dann links liegende Anschlussstück 7 genau zu der Anschlusslasche 11, denn beide Anschlussstücke sind wegen der Spiegelsymmetrie gleich lang und haben den gleichen Abstand von der Mittelachse 3.Because of the mirror symmetry of the connecting pieces 8, 9 they are the same length. The distance from each end portion 6, 5 of the coil 4 to the end of the associated fitting 8, 7 is the same size on each side. The connecting pieces 8, 7 extend parallel to the central axis 3 at a distance a from this. The distance a is chosen so that the connecting pieces 8, 9 come to rest on the tab 11 when the coil 4 is pushed onto the bobbin 2. There is no bending of the connecting piece 8 is required to bring it into the correct position for a weld with the terminal lug 11, the sliding of the coil 4 is sufficient to the bobbin 2. This is important for an economically feasible automatic assembly. Even if the coil 4 is rotated by 180 ° with respect to the plane 9 twisted onto the bobbin 2, then the left-fitting 7 fits exactly to the terminal lug 11, because both connectors are because of the mirror symmetry of equal length and have the same distance from the central axis. 3

Das linke Endteil 6 der Spule 4 hat von der Kernplatte 12 eine Abstand d. Dieser Abstand resultiert aus der Länge des Anschlussstückes 8. Er ist einstellbar durch Variation der Länge der Anschlusslasche 11. Je kürzer die Anschlüsslasche 11 gewählt wird, desto länger ist der Abstand d. Über den Abstand d wird die Lage der Spule 4 auf dem Spulenkörper 2 festgelegt und damit die Lage der Spule 4 bezogen auf den Kern und den Anker im Inneren des Spulenkörpers 2. Die Länge der Anschlusslasche 11 kann beispielsweise durch den zur Verfügung stehenden Bauraum im Gehäuse begrenzt sein. Dann kommt die Spule 4 mehr nach rechts auf dem Spulenkörper 2 zu liegen, der Abstand d wird größer. Dann würde auch der Kern im Inneren des Spulenkörpers 2 mehr nach rechts angeordnet, damit die Spule 4 optimal bezogen auf den Kern und den Anker zu liegen kommt.

This distance results from the length of the connecting piece 8. It is adjustable by varying the length of the connecting lug 11. The shorter the connecting lug 11 is selected, the longer is the distance d. About the distance d, the position of the coil 4 is set on the bobbin 2 and thus the position of the coil 4 relative to the core and the armature inside the bobbin 2. The length of the terminal lug 11, for example, by the available space in the housing be limited. Then the coil 4 comes to lie more right on the bobbin 2, the distance d is greater. Then, the core inside the bobbin 2 would be arranged more to the right, so that the coil 4 comes to rest optimally based on the core and the anchor. <U> REFERENCE LIST </ u> 1 electromagnetic trigger 21 switch lock 2 bobbins 22 contact lever 3 central axis 23 movable contact piece 4 Kitchen sink 24 solid contact piece 5 end 25 contact point 6 end 26 arc guide 7 connector 27 Arc chute 8th connector 28 terminal 9 mirror plane 29 terminal 10 front 30 core 11 connection tab 31 Guardrail 12 core plate 13 anchor 20 Circuit breaker
