Gemäß der
Hierfür sind alle Abtrennvorrichtungen im Schwenkbereich des Steges eines im Gehäuse verschwenkbar gelagerten, im Wesentlichen U-förmigen, als Wippe ausgebildeten Bügels angeordnet. Am Steg ist ein im Gehäuse verschiebbar gelagerter Betätigungsstift anliegend und weiterhin ist am Bügel eine Anzeigevorrichtung angeordnet. Dadurch, dass allen Abtrennvorrichtungen, die im Überspannungsschutz eingebauten Schutzelementen zugeordnet sind, eine gemeinsame Wippe zugeordnet ist, wird die Konstruktion aufgabengemäß vereinfacht. Außerdem ist gewährleistet, dass beim Öffnen, d.h. beim Auslösen der Abtrennvorrichtung, d.h. auch beim Auslösen nur einer Abtrennvorrichtung, der Betätigungsstift verschoben und die Auslöseanzeigevorrichtung in eine Stellung gelangt, die deutlich macht, dass ein Austauch der Überspannungsschutzeinrichtung notwendig wird.According to the

Allen vorbekannten Lösungen des Standes der Technik ist gemein, dass die Abtrennvorrichtungen mehr oder weniger aufwendige, zusätzliche mechanische und elektrisch wirksame Mittel aufweisen müssen. Damit erhöht sich die Teilezahl und insgesamt der konstruktive Aufwand bei der Herstellung von Überspannungsschutzgeräten. Eine Vielzahl von Teilen führt zwangsläufig auch zu einem höheren Montageaufwand, den es grundsätzlich zu vermeiden gilt.All previously known solutions of the prior art have in common that the separation devices must have more or less complex, additional mechanical and electrical means. This increases the number of parts and overall design complexity in the production of surge protection devices. A large number of parts inevitably leads to a higher installation effort, which must be avoided in principle.

Ein schwenkbeweglich gelagerter Bügel weist eine Anzeigefläche auf, die im Bereich eines Gehäusefensters befindlich ist, um einen Fehler oder einen o.k-Zustand zu visualisieren. Durch den Gehäuseboden reichen Steckanschlüsse, um eine elektrische Verbindung zu einem Basisteil herzustellen. Weiterhin umfassen die thermischen Trennstellen jeweils einen federvorgespannten Bügel, welcher mit einem niedrigschmelzenden Lot elektrisch und mechanisch mit dem jeweiligen Varistor verbunden ist.It is therefore assumed that an overvoltage protection device with thermal disconnecting device and fault indication, which has a plurality of, in particular disc-shaped varistors. Each discharge path is assigned at least one varistor and the thermal separation points are each in series to the relevant varistor. Furthermore, a device housing with chambers for receiving the varistors is present.

Aus den Erläuterungen zum Ausführungsbeispiel wird deutlich, dass drei (aber auch mehrere) Abtrennvorrichtungen durch ein einziges Stanz-Biegeteil realisiert werden können. Das Stanzteil bietet zusätzlich zur Funktion des Abtrennens auch den elektrischen Anschluss zum Unterteil und kann eine Kontaktstelle für einen weiteren Ableiter, insbesondere einen Gasableiter umfassen.It is clear from the explanations on the exemplary embodiment that three (but also several) separating devices can be realized by a single stamped and bent part. In addition to the function of separating, the stamped part also provides the electrical connection to the lower part and may comprise a contact point for a further arrester, in particular a gas discharge tube.
Die Ausgestaltung des fingerartigen Fortsatzes ermöglicht in Verbindung mit einem auf die Anwendung geformten Varistoranschlussdraht und unter Verwendung eines Niedrigtemperaturlots eine sehr sensible Abtrennstelle. Ein besonderer Vorteil liegt darin, dass eine Verwendung handelsüblicher bedrahteter Scheibenvaristoren möglich ist.The configuration of the finger-like extension, in conjunction with a varistor lead formed on the application and using a low temperature solder, allows for a very sensitive cutoff location. A particular advantage is that a use of commercially available wired Scheibenvaristoren is possible.
Auch die Anzeige ist mit einem geringen mechanischen Aufwand realisiert und spricht auf die unabhängig agierenden Abtrennvorrichtungen im Sinne einer ODER-Verknüpfung an. Der Anzeigebock bzw. der Hebel erfüllt neben der Anzeigefunktion auch die Möglichkeit der Ansteuerung eines Fernmeldekontakts. Die eigentliche Abtrennvorrichtung besteht wie erläutert aus einem Blechteil mit mindestens drei fingerartigen Fortsätzen (Abtrennstreifen), einem Fortsatz für einen elektrischen Anschluss zum Unterteil in Form eines Gabelkontakts und fakultativ eine Kontaktstelle für einen Gasableiter.The display is realized with little mechanical effort and responds to the independently acting separating devices in the sense of an OR operation. In addition to the display function, the display block or the lever also fulfills the option of controlling a telecommunications contact. The actual separating device consists, as explained, of a sheet metal part with at least three finger-like extensions (separating strips), an extension for an electrical connection to the lower part in the form of a fork contact and, optionally, a contact point for a gas discharge tube.
Jeder Abtrennstreifen bildet den elektrischen Kontakt zu je einem Varistor und ist mit einer Prägestelle für die Biegsamkeit ausgestattet. Der Abtrennstreifen weist auch ein Führungsloch für die Spannvorrichtung und einen Querschlitz als Wärmefalle sowie einen Längsschlitz zur Aufnahme des Varistoranschlussdrahts auf.Each separation strip forms the electrical contact with each of a varistor and is equipped with a stamping for flexibility. The separation strip also has a guide hole for the tensioning device and a transverse slot as a heat trap and a longitudinal slot for receiving the varistor connection wire.
Der Längsschlitz bildet eine Verbindung mit einem schlaufenförmig ausgebildeten Varistoranschlussdraht und einem niedrigschmelzenden Lot die Abtrennstelle. Die Vorspannung durch die Spannvorrichtung bewirkt beim Schmelzen des Lotes die Trennung des Varistors vom Abtrennstreifen, der wiederum den Anzeigebock über den Hebel betätigt.The longitudinal slot forms a connection with a loop-shaped varistor connecting wire and a low-melting solder the separation point. The bias of the tensioning device causes the separation of the varistor from the separation strip during melting of the solder, which in turn actuates the display block via the lever.
