Definitions
- the invention relates to an electromagnetic switch for a starting device and a method for operating the electromagnetic switch.
- the document FR2861891 shows a switch according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the proposed solutions seek to create a scraping motion between the two contact surfaces between the contact surfaces of the contacts and the surface of the contact bridge, thereby removing soils and other by the switching movement.
- All initially four alternatives have in common that the electromagnetic switch has two contacts, which are electrically conductively connected to each other by a movable contact bridge. Furthermore, this is common to the fact that the at least one contact has a contact surface.
- the contact surface is at least substantially planar and an electrical contact between the contact bridge and the contact-giving edge of the contact bridge is arranged such that the latter contacts
- the contact surface of the contact has elevations whose highest areas lie substantially in one plane.
- An electrical contact between the contact bridge and contact edge of the contact bridge is arranged so that, starting from the impact on the contact surface, it essentially enables at least one point contact between the contact and the contact bridge
- Substantially "line contact” and essentially “point contact” means that the contact pads between contact bridge and contact are very narrow and relatively long in a substantially line contact.
- a point contact means that the current passage area between contact bridge and contact is at least one contact surface. if necessary reduced several - very small area, which is nearly a point
- a contact surface of the contact bridge and an axis of a contact pin between them include an angle directed to a central axis of the switch, which is greater than 90 °.
- This definition applies z. B. for the rest position of the electromagnetic switch.
- a fourth alternative describes that a contact face of the contact bridge and an axis of the contact pin between them include an angle directed radially outward with respect to a central axis of the switch, which is greater than 90 °. This definition also preferably applies to the rest position of the electromagnetic switch.
- the axis can be considered, around which, for example, a retraction or a holding winding of the electromagnetic switch is wound.
- This axis is usually synonymous with the central axis of a magnetic core of the electromagnetic switch.
- the alternatives mentioned allow an additional lateral force on the respective compound, so that in the end the opening force or the force in this connection acts, is increased.
- the friction between the contact partners, contact bridge and contact destroys non-conductive layers on the surfaces, so that in the sequence of clean contacts arise because any oxide layers and / or ice sheets are broken.
- the mass of the contact bridge can be reduced, so that sets a lower bounce in the sequence.
- the contact surface of the contacts has a corrugation, which is preferably a straight corrugation or a corrugation
- the angle between 91 ° and 105 °, preferably by 95 °.
- the angle is between 91 ° and 120 °.
- the edge of the contact bridge is arcuate or straight
- Particularly insensitive to tolerances is the arcuate edge.
- tilting in particularly material-saving designs practically does not occur.
- the contact bridge is guided by a bolt in a bearing and the contact bridge between the pin and the edge of an area with the largest cross section and between the region with the largest cross section and the bolt has a reduced cross-section area. This increases the flexural elasticity.
- the contact bridge consists of a perpendicular to the bolt oriented central planar portion, followed by the bolt pioneering at least one outer surface section between the central and the outer Section is an angle that is not equal to 90 °.
- at least one of the two contacts has a hardness which is less than a hardness of the contact bridge.
- a friction coefficient between the contact bridge and the at least one contact has a value between 0.1 and 2, preferably between 0.6 and 1.
- the edge has a radius of less than 0.3mm.
- the contact bridge is a metal sheet, which preferably has a plate thickness of between 1 and 4 mm.
- the contact surface of the contact bridge contacts one edge of the contact
- the contact bridge has several edges that contact the contact.
- it consists of several layers.
- a carrier layer is provided and a contact layer attached to the carrier layer.
- the support layer should preferably consist of a copper or silver alloy or steel or bronze or brass, while the contact layer of copper, tin, gold or silver alloy or a metal-metal oxide composite material exist.
- the switch is particularly advantageous in that it can be used to reduce switching problems, especially in high current applications such as starters.
- the contact bridge slides with its surface in the form of an edge over the contact surface of the contact or the contact surface of the contact with its surface in the form of an edge slides over the contact bridge.
- a method is provided with which the electromagnetic switch is switched.
- a scraping movement acts between the contact bridge and the contact surface of the contact. scraping means that a sliding movement (friction movement) acts between the contact bridge and the contact surface of the contact.

- the angle ⁇ is oriented in such a way that it lies in a plane that extends from the longitudinal axis 312 and the central axis 315 is formed.
- the angle ⁇ is directed radially outward and is greater than 90 °. With respect to the angle ⁇ is provided that this is between 91 ° and 120 ° Also, this size refers to the position of the contact bridge 184 in the rest position, or before it touches the contact surface 180.
- the contacts 180 and 181 are designed such that they have an edge 320 which, from the moment in which the contact bridge 184 impinges on the contact surface 300, a relative movement transverse to the central axis 315 between contact bridge 184 and contact 180 and 181st causes. In this case, an edge 320 of the contact scrapes 180 or 181 on the contact bridge 184.
- angle ⁇ is provided that this has a value between -1 ° and -30 °.
- the choice of the angle is dependent on the coefficient of friction between the contact partners. Here, in the case where it is a high coefficient of friction, that the angle can be rather smaller, while at low coefficients of friction the angle is rather large.
- the fifth embodiment according to FIG. 12 shows a schematic representation of two contact pins 150 and 151, which are oriented with their contact surfaces 300 to the outer planar portions 273 and 276.
- the length of the contact bridge 184 transverse to the central axis 315 is greater than the outermost distance of the two contact pins 151 and 150 to each other. Accordingly, the outer laminar portions 273 and 276 respectively do not scrape at one of their edges against the surfaces 300 of the contact pins 150 and 151. In this case, the contact bridge 184 switches against sharp edges 330 of the contacts 180 and 181, respectively
- FIG. 14 is a seventh embodiment of a pairing of contact bridge 184 and contact pins 151 and 150 shown.

- an edge 279 of the outer laminar portions 273 and 276 scrapes on the bevels 336.
- FIG. 16 a contact bridge 184 is shown in a further alternative embodiment.
- This contact bridge also has a central areal section 270 and two outer areal sections 273 and 276, respectively.
- the central areal section 270 also has a hole 226 in its center.
- the edges 279 are in contrast to, for example, the embodiment of the FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 not round but straight.
- the outer planar sections 273 and 279 are analogous to the embodiment according to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 also shown at an angle ⁇ to the central area 270 section.
- the contact bridge 184 has two outer surface portions 273 and 276, in contrast to the embodiment of FIG. 16 are slotted so that the respective planar sections are designed as two lugs 340.

Central in the planar section 270, in turn, a hole 226 is arranged. While in FIG. 18a a plan view can be seen is in FIG. 18b a sectional view of the contact bridge 184 shown. This sectional view shows the bending of the outer flat sections 273 and 276 by the angle ⁇ . To influence or increase the flexibility of the outer planar sections 273 and 276, these are connected via notches 350 with the central planar section 270. The notches may, as here in the example, be arranged on both sides of the surface of the contact bridge 184, but also, if appropriate, alternatively on one side. These notches 350 are here designed as semicircular corrugations to reduce the cross section and reduce the flexural rigidity of the contact bridge 184
- FIGS. 19a and 19b a further contact bridge 184 is shown in a plan view and a sectional view.
- the constrictions for reducing the cross section or reducing the flexural rigidity of the contact bridge 184 need not, as in accordance with FIG. 18 represented, are introduced at the outer contour. It can also recesses in the preferably rectangular shaped contact bridge 184 are introduced. In FIG. 19 For example, two circular recesses 353 are shown, which reduce the cross section.

- edges 279 and 320 With respect to the edges 279 and 320, it is provided that this has a radius of ⁇ 0.3 mm. This results in a "chisel effect" so that edges 279 and 320, respectively, remove interfering layers at the opposite contact. Contacting properties are thereby considerably improved.
- the area of the edges 279 and 320 there is preferably an area-wise or linearly very small cohesive connection due to Einscgurichtbögen. By tearing open these cohesive connections, the respective edge 279 or 320 experiences an ever new sharpening, whereby even after repeated switching characteristics or point contact between edge and mating contact remains edges 279 and 320 moreover have the advantage that ice layers formed by possible atmospheric moisture in the switch are broken on the contacts 180 or 181.

- K50 shows a lever arm ratio of 50%
- K75 shows a lever arm ratio of 75%.
- the necking ratio V is taken into account. V is the quotient of the width BE to the width B184. In order to avoid or prevent bouncing and to convert it into friction, sliding movement, it is provided that the bending stress S in the cross section 293 is greater than 20 N / mm 2. Furthermore, the bending stress S should be less than 100N / mm 2. It is desirable for the necking ratio V to be less than or equal to 75%, preferably greater than 25%. A ratio of between 70% and 35% has proven to be particularly favorable.

Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift
Das Dokument
Demgegenüber soll die Kontaktierung zwischen Kontaktbrücke und Gegenkontakten weiter verbessert werden.In contrast, the contact between contact bridge and mating contacts should be further improved.
Mit den vorgeschlagenen Lösungen wird angestrebt, zwischen der Kontaktoberfläche der Kontakte und der Oberfläche der Kontaktbrücke eine schabende Bewegung zwischen den beiden Kontakt gebenden Oberflächen zu erzeugen und dadurch Verschmutzungen und anderes durch die Schaltbewegung zu entfernen. Allen zunächst vier Alternativen ist gemein, dass der elektromagnetische Schalter zwei Kontakte aufweist, die durch eine bewegliche Kontaktbrücke elektrisch leitfähig miteinander verbunden werden. Des Weiteren ist diesen gemein, dass der zumindest eine Kontakt eine Kontaktoberfläche aufweist Mit der ersten Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontaktoberfläche zumindest im Wesentlichen eben ist und eine - elektrischen Kontakt zwischen Kontaktbrücke und Kontakt gebende - Kante der Kontaktbrücke so angeordnet ist, dass diese ab dem Auftreffen auf der Kontaktoberfläche im Wesentlichen eine Linienberührung zwischen Kontakt und Kontaktbrücke ermöglicht Dies hat den Vorteil, dass verglichen mit den bisher bekannten Lösungen eine verhältnismäßig hohe Flächenpressung zwischen den beiden Kontakt gebenden Elementen erreicht werden kann. Dies ist eine Voraussetzung für eine qualitativ hohe Putzwirkung zwischen den Kontaktflächen und für eine mögliche gute Schabewirkung zwischen Kontaktbrücke und Kontaktoberfläche.The proposed solutions seek to create a scraping motion between the two contact surfaces between the contact surfaces of the contacts and the surface of the contact bridge, thereby removing soils and other by the switching movement. All initially four alternatives have in common that the electromagnetic switch has two contacts, which are electrically conductively connected to each other by a movable contact bridge. Furthermore, this is common to the fact that the at least one contact has a contact surface. With the first alternative, it is provided that the contact surface is at least substantially planar and an electrical contact between the contact bridge and the contact-giving edge of the contact bridge is arranged such that the latter contacts This has the advantage that compared to the previously known solutions, a relatively high surface pressure between the two contact-giving elements can be achieved. This is a prerequisite for a high-quality cleaning effect between the contact surfaces and for a possible good scraping action between contact bridge and contact surface.
Gemäß der zweiten Alternative ist vorgesehen, zumindest eine Punktberührung zwischen Kontakt und Kontaktbrücke zu erreichen. Hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontaktoberfläche des Kontakts Erhebungen aufweist, dessen höchste Bereiche im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene liegen. Ein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen Kontaktbrücke und Kontakt gebender Kante der Kontaktbrücke ist so angeordnet, dass diese ab dem Auftreffen auf der Kontaktoberfläche im Wesentlichen zumindest eine Punktberührung zwischen Kontakt und Kontaktbrücke ermöglichtAccording to the second alternative, it is provided to achieve at least one point contact between contact and contact bridge. For this purpose, it is provided that the contact surface of the contact has elevations whose highest areas lie substantially in one plane. An electrical contact between the contact bridge and contact edge of the contact bridge is arranged so that, starting from the impact on the contact surface, it essentially enables at least one point contact between the contact and the contact bridge
Im Wesentlichen "Linienberührung" und im Wesentlichen "Punktberührung" bedeutet, dass die Kontakt gebenden Kontaktflächen zwischen Kontaktbrücke und Kontakt bei einer im Wesentlichen Linienberührung sehr schmal und dafür verhältnismäßig lang ist Eine Punktberührung bedeutet, dass die Stromdurchgangsfläche zwischen Kontaktbrücke und Kontakt sich auf zumindest eine - ggf. mehrere - sehr kleine Fläche reduziert, die nahezu ein Punkt istSubstantially "line contact" and essentially "point contact" means that the contact pads between contact bridge and contact are very narrow and relatively long in a substantially line contact. A point contact means that the current passage area between contact bridge and contact is at least one contact surface. if necessary reduced several - very small area, which is nearly a point
Gemäß der dritten Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass eine zum Kontakt gerichtete Fläche der Kontaktbrücke und eine Achse eines Kontaktbolzens zwischen sich einen zu einer zentralen Achse des Schalters gerichteten Winkel einschließen, der größer als 90° ist. Diese Definition gilt z. B. für die Ruhestellung des elektromagnetischen Schalters.According to the third alternative, it is provided that a contact surface of the contact bridge and an axis of a contact pin between them include an angle directed to a central axis of the switch, which is greater than 90 °. This definition applies z. B. for the rest position of the electromagnetic switch.
Eine vierte Alternative beschreibt, dass eine zum Kontakt gerichtete Fläche der Kontaktbrücke und eine Achse des Kontaktbolzens zwischen sich einen im Bezug zu einer zentralen Achse des Schalters nach radial außen gerichteten Winkel einschließen, der größer als 90° ist Auch diese Definition gilt vorzugsweise für die Ruhestellung des elektromagnetischen Schalters.A fourth alternative describes that a contact face of the contact bridge and an axis of the contact pin between them include an angle directed radially outward with respect to a central axis of the switch, which is greater than 90 °. This definition also preferably applies to the rest position of the electromagnetic switch.
Als zentrale Achse des Schalters kann beispielsweise die Achse angesehen werden, um die beispielsweise eine Einzugs- oder eine Haltewicklung des elektromagnetischen Schalters gewickelt ist. Diese Achse ist üblicherweise auch gleichbedeutend mit der zentralen Achse eines Magnetkerns des elektromagnetischen Schalters.As the central axis of the switch, for example, the axis can be considered, around which, for example, a retraction or a holding winding of the electromagnetic switch is wound. This axis is usually synonymous with the central axis of a magnetic core of the electromagnetic switch.
Gemäß den genannten Alternativen ist es möglich, das Prellen der Kontaktbrücke beim Auftreffen auf die zu verbindenden Kontakte zu verringern, da die Reibung zwischen den Kontaktpartnern bei der Kontaktierung erzeugt wird. Dies führt zu einer Reduzierung der Lichtbogenneigung und damit zur Verringerung der Oberflächentemperaturen von Kontakt und Kontaktbrücke. In der Folge wird der Verschleiß der Kontaktbrücke und auch des Kontakts verringert, da weniger Lichtbogenerosion entsteht Für den sehr seltenen Fall von stoffschlüssigen Verbindungen ermöglichen die genannten Alternativen eine zusätzliche Querkraft auf die jeweilige Verbindung, so dass im Endeffekt die Öffnungskraft bzw. die Kraft, die in dieser Verbindung wirkt, erhöht wird. Die Reibung zwischen den Kontaktpartnern, Kontaktbrücke und Kontakt, zerstört nicht leitende Schichten auf den Oberflächen, so dass in der Folge saubere Kontaktierungen entstehen, weil eventuelle Oxidschichten und/oder Eisschichten aufgebrochen werden. Zudem kann die Masse der Kontaktbrücke reduziert werden, so dass sich in der Folge eine geringere Prellneigung einstellt.According to the above alternatives, it is possible to reduce the bounce of the contact bridge when hitting the contacts to be connected, since the friction is generated between the contact partners in the contacting. This leads to a reduction in the arc tendency and thus to reduce the surface temperatures of contact and contact bridge. As a result, the wear of the contact bridge and the contact is reduced, since less arc erosion arises For the very rare case of cohesive connections, the alternatives mentioned allow an additional lateral force on the respective compound, so that in the end the opening force or the force in this connection acts, is increased. The friction between the contact partners, contact bridge and contact, destroys non-conductive layers on the surfaces, so that in the sequence of clean contacts arise because any oxide layers and / or ice sheets are broken. In addition, the mass of the contact bridge can be reduced, so that sets a lower bounce in the sequence.
Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantages emerge from the subclaims.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, dass zur Erzielung einer Punktberührung die Kontaktoberfläche der Kontakte eine Riffelung aufweist, die vorzugsweise eine Geradriffelung oder eine Ringriffelung istAccording to the invention, it is provided that in order to achieve a point contact, the contact surface of the contacts has a corrugation, which is preferably a straight corrugation or a corrugation
Für die dritte Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass der Winkel zwischen 91° und 105°, vorzugsweise um 95° beträgt. Gemäß der vierten Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass der Winkel zwischen 91° und 120° beträgt.For the third alternative it is provided that the angle between 91 ° and 105 °, preferably by 95 °. According to the fourth alternative, it is provided that the angle is between 91 ° and 120 °.
Bezüglich der Gestaltung der Kante der Kontaktbrücke ist vorgesehen, dass die Kante bogenförmig oder gerade ist Besonders unempfindlich bezüglich Toleranzen ist die bogenförmige Kante. Dies führt dazu, dass Verkantungen bei besonders Material sparenden Ausführungen praktisch nicht vorkommen.Regarding the design of the edge of the contact bridge is provided that the edge is arcuate or straight Particularly insensitive to tolerances is the arcuate edge. As a result, tilting in particularly material-saving designs practically does not occur.
Um eine Schlagbelastung zwischen der Kontaktbrücke und den Kontakten, die von der Kontaktbrücke berührt werden, möglichst gering zu halten, ist vorgesehen, dass einerseits die Kontaktbrücke mittels eines Bolzens in einem Lager geführt ist und die Kontaktbrücke zwischen dem Bolzen und der Kante einen Bereich mit dem größten Querschnitt und zwischen dem Bereich mit dem größten Querschnitt und dem Bolzen einen Bereich mit verringerten Querschnitt aufweist. Dadurch wird die Biegeelastizität erhöht.In order to keep a shock load between the contact bridge and the contacts that are touched by the contact bridge as low as possible, it is provided that on the one hand, the contact bridge is guided by a bolt in a bearing and the contact bridge between the pin and the edge of an area with the largest cross section and between the region with the largest cross section and the bolt has a reduced cross-section area. This increases the flexural elasticity.
Zur Erzeugung einer möglichst gut wirksamen Querbewegung der sich berührenden Kontaktflächen von Kontaktbrücke und Kontakt ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontaktbrücke aus einem senkrecht zum Bolzen orientierten zentralen flächigen Abschnitt besteht, an den sich vom Bolzen wegweisend zumindest ein äußerer flächiger Abschnitt anschließt Zwischen den zentralen und dem äußeren Abschnitt ist ein Winkel vorhanden, der ungleich 90° ist. Um eine möglichst gute Haltbarkeit der Kontaktbrücke zu erzielen, ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest einer der beiden Kontakte eine Härte aufweist, die kleiner als eine Härte der Kontaktbrücke ist. Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass ein Reibbeiwert zwischen der Kontaktbrücke und dem zumindest einem Kontakt einen Wert zwischen 0,1 und 2, vorzugsweise zwischen 0,6 und 1 hat. Zur Erzielung einer besonders guten Schabewirkung ist vorgesehen, dass die Kante einen Radius von weniger als 0,3mm aufweist. Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontaktbrücke ein Blech ist, welches vorzugsweise eine Blechstärke zwischen 1 und 4mm aufweist. Im Falle der dritten Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass die zum Kontakt gerichtete Fläche der Kontaktbrücke eine Kante des Kontakts kontaktiertTo produce the most effective transverse movement of the contacting contact surfaces of the contact bridge and contact is provided that the contact bridge consists of a perpendicular to the bolt oriented central planar portion, followed by the bolt pioneering at least one outer surface section between the central and the outer Section is an angle that is not equal to 90 °. In order to achieve the best possible durability of the contact bridge, it is provided that at least one of the two contacts has a hardness which is less than a hardness of the contact bridge. Furthermore, it is provided that a friction coefficient between the contact bridge and the at least one contact has a value between 0.1 and 2, preferably between 0.6 and 1. To achieve a Particularly good scraping action is provided that the edge has a radius of less than 0.3mm. Furthermore, it is provided that the contact bridge is a metal sheet, which preferably has a plate thickness of between 1 and 4 mm. In the case of the third alternative it is provided that the contact surface of the contact bridge contacts one edge of the contact
Für den Fall, dass seitens der Kontaktbrücke mittels einer Kante kontaktiert wird, ist vorgesehen, dass die Kontaktbrücke mehrere Kanten aufweist, die den Kontakt kontaktieren. Zur Optimierung der Kontaktbrücke ist vorgesehen, dass diese aus mehreren Schichten besteht. Vorzugsweise ist dabei eine Trägerschicht vorgesehen und eine auf der Trägerschicht befestigte Kontaktschicht. Die Trägerschicht soll vorzugsweise aus einer Kupfer- oder Silberlegierung oder Stahl oder Bronze oder Messing bestehen, während die Kontaktschicht aus Kupfer-, Zinn-, Gold- oder Silberlegierung oder einem Metall-Metalloxid-Verbundwerkstoff bestehen.In the event that is contacted by the contact bridge by means of an edge, it is provided that the contact bridge has several edges that contact the contact. To optimize the contact bridge is provided that it consists of several layers. Preferably, a carrier layer is provided and a contact layer attached to the carrier layer. The support layer should preferably consist of a copper or silver alloy or steel or bronze or brass, while the contact layer of copper, tin, gold or silver alloy or a metal-metal oxide composite material exist.
Es ist eine Startvorrichtung mit einem elektromagnetischen Schalter, wie beschrieben, vorgesehen. Der Schalter ist insofern besonders vorteilhaft, als dass dieser ganz besonders bei Hochstromanwendungen, wie es bei Startvorrichtungen der Fall ist, zur Verringerung von Schaltproblemen verwendet werden kann.There is provided a starting device with an electromagnetic switch as described. The switch is particularly advantageous in that it can be used to reduce switching problems, especially in high current applications such as starters.
Gemäß einem weiteren Unteranspruch ist vorgesehen, dass entweder die Kontaktbrücke mit ihrer Oberfläche in Gestalt einer Kante über die Kontaktoberfläche des Kontakts gleitet oder die Kontaktoberfläche des Kontakts mit ihrer Oberfläche in Gestalt einer Kante über die Kontaktbrücke gleitet. Für den Fall, dass eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung zwischen der Kontaktbrücke und einem Kontakt entstanden ist, ist vorgesehen, dass eine ausreichend große Schubkraftbelastung in der stoffschlüssigen Verbindung diese auflöstAccording to another subclaim, it is provided that either the contact bridge slides with its surface in the form of an edge over the contact surface of the contact or the contact surface of the contact with its surface in the form of an edge slides over the contact bridge. In the event that a cohesive connection between the contact bridge and a contact is formed, it is provided that a sufficiently large thrust load in the cohesive connection dissolves them
Des Weiteren ist ein Verfahren vorgesehen, mit dem der elektromagnetische Schalter geschaltet wird. Es werden dabei zwei Kontakte durch die eine bewegliche Kontaktbrücke verbunden. Beim Kontaktieren der Kontaktbrücke mit zumindest einem der beiden Kontakte wirkt eine Schabebewegung zwischen der Kontaktbrücke und der Kontaktoberfläche des Kontakts. Schabebewegung bedeutet, dass zwischen der Kontaktbrücke und der Kontaktoberfläche des Kontakts eine Gleitbewegung (Reibbewegung) wirkt.Furthermore, a method is provided with which the electromagnetic switch is switched. There are two contacts connected by a movable contact bridge. When contacting the contact bridge with at least one of the two contacts, a scraping movement acts between the contact bridge and the contact surface of the contact. scraping means that a sliding movement (friction movement) acts between the contact bridge and the contact surface of the contact.

Der Startermotor 13 weist als Gehäuse ein Polrohr 28 auf, das an seinem Innenumfang Polschuhe 31 trägt, die jeweils von einer Erregerwicklung 34 umwickelt sind. Statt einer elektrischen Erregung kommt auch eine permanentmagnetische Erregung des Ständers in Frage. Die Polschuhe 31 umgeben wiederum einen Anker 37, der ein aus Lamellen 40 aufgebautes Ankerpaket 43 und eine in Nuten 46 angeordnete Ankerwicklung 49 aufweist Das Ankerpaket 43 ist auf eine Antriebswelle 44 aufgepresst An dem dem Andrehritzel 22 abgewandten Ende der Antriebswelle 44 ist des weiteren ein Kommutator 52 angebracht der u.a. aus einzelnen Kommutatorlamellen 55 aufgebaut ist Die Kommutatorlamellen 55 sind in bekannter Weise mit der Ankerwicklung 49 derartig elektrisch verbunden, dass sich bei Bestromung der Kommutatorlamellen 55 durch Kohlebürsten 58 eine Drehbewegung des Ankers 37 im Polrohr 28 ergibt. Eine zwischen dem Einspurrelais 16 und dem Startermotor 13 angeordnete Stromzuführung 61 versorgt im Einschaltzustand sowohl die Kohlebürsten 58 als auch die Erregerwicklung 34 mit Strom. Die Antriebswelle 44 ist kommutatorseitig mit einem Wellenzapfen 64 in einem Gleitlager 67 abgestützt, welches wiederum in einem Kommutatorlagerdeckel 70 ortsfest gehalten ist. Der Kommutatordeckel 70 wiederum wird mittels Zuganker 73, die über den Umfang des Polrohrs 28 verteilt angeordnet sind (Schrauben, beispielsweise 2, 3 oder 4 Stück) im Antriebslagerschild 19 befestigt. Es stützt sich dabei das Polrohr 28 am Antriebslagerschild 19 ab, und der Kommutatorlagerdeckel 70 am Polrohr 28.The
In Antriebsrichtung schließt sich an den Anker 37 ein sogenanntes Sonnenrad 80 an, das Teil eines Planetengetriebes 83 ist Das Sonnenrad 80 ist von mehreren Planetenrädern 86 umgeben, üblicherweise drei Planetenräder 86, die mittels Wälzlager 89 auf Achszapfen 92 abgestützt sind. Die Planetenräder 86 wälzen in einem Hohlrad 95 ab, das im Polrohr 28 außenseitig gelagert ist. In Richtung zur Abtriebsseite schließt sich an die Planetenräder 86 ein Planetenträger 98 an, in dem die Achszapfen 92 aufgenommen sind. Der Planetenträger 98 wird wiederum in einem Zwischenlager 101 und einem darin angeordneten Gleitlager 104 gelagert. Das Zwischenlager 101 ist derartig topfförmig gestaltet, dass in diesem sowohl der Planetenträger 98, als auch die Planetenräder 86 aufgenommen sind. Des Weiteren ist im topfförmigen Zwischenlager 101 das Hohlrad 95 angeordnet, das letztlich durch einen Deckel 107 gegenüber dem Anker 37 geschlossen ist. Auch das Zwischenlager 101 stützt sich mit seinem Außenumfang an der Innenseite des Polrohrs 28 ab. Der Anker 37 weist auf dem vom Kommutator 52 abgewandten Ende der Antriebswelle 44 einen weiteren Wellenzapfen 110 auf, der ebenfalls in einem Gleitlager 113 aufgenommen ist, ab. Das Gleitlager 113 wiederum ist in einer zentralen Bohrung des Planetenträgers 98 aufgenommen. Der Planetenträger 98 ist einstückig mit der Abtriebswelle 116 verbunden. Diese Abtriebswelle 116 ist mit ihrem vom Zwischenlager 101 abgewandten Ende 119 in einem weiteren Lager 122, welches im Antriebslagerschild 19 befestigt ist, abgestützt Die Abtriebswelle 116 ist in verschiedene Abschnitte aufgeteilt: So folgt dem Abschnitt, der im Gleitlager 104 des Zwischenlagers 101 angeordnet ist, ein Abschnitt mit einer sogenannten Geradverzahnung 125 (Innenverzahnung), die Teil einer sogenannten WellenNabe-Verbindung ist. Diese Welle-Nabe-Verbindung 128 ermöglicht in diesem Fall das axial geradlinige Gleiten eines Mitnehmers 131. Dieser Mitnehmer 131 ist ein hülsenartiger Fortsatz, der einstückig mit einem topfförmigen Außenring 132 des Freilaufs 137 ist Dieser Freilauf 137 (Richtgesperre) besteht des Weiteren aus dem Innenring 140, der radial innerhalb des Außenrings 132 angeordnet ist Zwischen dem Innenring 140 und dem Außenring 132 sind Klemmkörper 138 angeordnet. Diese Klemmkörper 138 verhindern in Zusammenwirkung mit dem Innen- und dem Außenring eine Relativdrehung zwischen dem Außenring und dem Innenring in einer zweiten Richtung. Mit anderen Worten: Der Freilauf 137 ermöglicht eine Relativbewegung zwischen Innenring 140 und Außenring 132 nur in eine Richtung. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Innenring 140 einstückig mit dem Andrehritzel 22 und dessen Schrägverzahnung 143 (Außenschrägverzahnung) ausgeführtIn the drive direction, the

Der Schaher16 bzw. der Anker 168 hat aber darüber hinaus auch die Aufgabe, mit einem Zugelement 187 einen dem Antriebslagerschild 19 drehbeweglich angeordneten Hebel zu bewegen. Dieser Hebel 190, üblicherweise als Gabelhebel ausgeführt, umgreift mit zwei hier nicht dargestellten "Zinken" an ihrem Außenumfang zwei Scheiben 193 und 194, um einen zwischen diesen eingeklemmten Mitnehmerring 197 zum Freilauf 137 hin gegen den Widerstand der Feder 200 zu bewegen und dadurch das Andrehritzel 22 in dem Zahnkranz 25 einzuspuren.The Schaher16 or the

Als spezielles Ausführungsbeispiel ist für die Kontaktbrücke 184 vorgesehen, dass diese aus sogenanntem Elektrokupfer besteht (E-Cu57). Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass der Winkel α gleich 5° ist, die Härte des Materials zwischen 100 bis 130 HV 10 aufweist (Härtemessverfahren nach Vickers). Für die Materialstärke d sind 2mm vorgesehen. Die Länge L der Kontaktbrücke 184 ist so gewählt, dass die Kontaktierung der Kanten 279 auf den Kontakten 180 bzw. 181 erfolgt Die Steifigkeit der Kontaktbrücke 184 liegt zwischen 150 N/mm und 250 N/mm.As a special embodiment, it is provided for the

Mit Bezug zur
Das erste Ausführungsbeispiel und auch das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel zeigen einen elektromagnetischen Schalter 16 für eine Startvorrichtung 10, wobei dieser elektromagnetische Schalter 16 zwei Kontakte 180 und 181 aufweist, die durch eine bewegliche Kontaktbrücke 184 elektrisch leitfähig miteinander verbindbar sind. Es ist dabei vorgesehen, dass zumindest einer der beiden Kontakte 180 bzw. 181 vorzugsweise eine mit einem Kontaktbolzen 151 bzw. 150 fest verbundene Kontaktoberfläche 300 aufweist. Dabei weist die Kontaktoberfläche 300 Erhebungen auf, die vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen in einer Ebene liegen. Ein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen Kontaktbrücke 184 und der Kontakt gebenden Kante 279 der Kontaktbrücke 184 ist so angeordnet, dass diese ab dem Auftreffen auf der Kontaktoberfläche 300 im Wesentlichen eine Mehrfachpunktberührung zwischen Kontakt 180, 181 und Kontaktbrücke 184 ermöglicht. Je nach Orientierung der Geradriffelung 309 bzw. Relativlage der einzelnen Erhebungen der Geradriffelung 309 zur Kante 279 kann zunächst auch nur eine Einfach-Punktberührung zwischen Kontakt 180 bzw. 181 und Kontaktbrücke 184 möglich sein.The first embodiment and also the second embodiment show an
Die Geradriffelung 309 soll idealerweise als sinusförmige Längsriffelung ausgeführt sein. Bezüglich der Zusammenwirkung von Kontakt 180 bzw. 181 und der Kontaktbrücke 184 soll gelten, dass die Härte des Kontakts 180 bzw. 181 kleiner oder gleich wie Härte der Kontaktbrücke 184 ist. Damit soll sichergestellt sein, dass nicht die Kontaktbrücke 184, sondern die Kontakte 180 bzw. 181 verschleißen.The

Gemäß dieser Definition ist ein elektromagnetischer Schalter 16 für eine Startvorrichtung 10 vorgesehen, mit zwei Kontakten 180 und 181, die durch eine bewegliche Kontaktbrücke 184 elektrisch leitfähig miteinander verbunden werden, wobei zumindest einer der beiden Kontakte 180 oder 181 vorzugsweise eine mit einem Kontaktbolzen 151, 150 fest verbundene Kontaktoberfläche 300 aufweist, wobei eine zum Kontakt 180 gerichtete Fläche 318 der Kontaktbrücke 184 und einer Längsachse 312 eines Kontaktbolzens 151 zwischen sich einen zu einer zentralen Achse 315 des Schalters 16 gerichteten Winkel β einschließen, der größer als 90° ist. Diese Definition gilt für die Ruhestellung bzw. bis zu der Position der Schaltbrücke 184, in der die Kontaktbrücke 184 die Oberfläche 300 gerade nicht bzw. kraftlos berührt Bezüglich des Winkels β ist vorgesehen, dass dieser zwischen 91° und 105°, vorzugsweise um 95° beträgt.According to this definition, an

Bezüglich des Winkels α ist vorgesehen, dass dieser einen Wert zwischen -1° und -30° aufweist. Die Wahl des Winkels ist dabei abhängig vom Reibwert zwischen den Kontaktpartnern. Hier gilt für den Fall, dass es sich um einen hohen Reibwert handelt, dass der Winkel eher kleiner sein kann, während bei niedrigen Reibwerten der Winkel eher groß ist.With respect to the angle α is provided that this has a value between -1 ° and -30 °. The choice of the angle is dependent on the coefficient of friction between the contact partners. Here, in the case where it is a high coefficient of friction, that the angle can be rather smaller, while at low coefficients of friction the angle is rather large.

Durch die Form der Kontaktbrücke 184 beispielsweise nach
Bezüglich der Kanten 279 bzw. 320 ist vorgesehen, dass diese einen Radius von <0,3mm aufweist. Dies führt zu einem "Meißel-Effekf", so dass die Kanten 279 bzw. 320 beim jeweils gegenüberliegenden Kontakt störende Schichten entfernen. Kontaktierungseigenschaften werden dadurch erheblich verbessert Im Bereich der Kanten 279 bzw. 320 kommt es hier vorzugsweise zu einer Flächen- bzw. linienmäßig sehr kleinen stoffschlüssigen Verbindung aufgrund von Einschalbichtbögen. Durch Aufreißen dieser stoffschlüssigen Verbindungen erfährt die jeweilige Kante 279 bzw. 320 eine immer wieder neue Schärfung, wodurch auch nach wiederholtem Schalten Kennlinien oder Punktkontakt zwischen Kante und Gegenkontakt bestehen bleibt Die Kanten 279 und 320 haben darüber hinaus den Vorteil, dass durch eventuelle Luftfeuchtigkeit im Schalter gebildete Eisschichten auf den Kontakten 180 bzw. 181 durchbrochen werden.With respect to the
Bezüglich der Materialstärke der Kontaktbrücke 184 ist im Allgemeinen vorgesehen, dass das entsprechende Blech vorzugsweise eine Stärke zwischen 1 und 4mm aufweist.With regard to the material thickness of the
Des Weiteren ist ein Verfahren zum Schalten des elektromagnetischen Schalters 16 vorgesehen, wobei dieser zwei Kontakte 180 bzw. 181 aufweist, die durch eine bewegliche Kontaktbrücke 184 verbunden werden. Beim Kontaktieren der Kontaktbrücke 184 mit zumindest einem der beiden Kontakte 180 bzw. 181 wirkt eine Schabebewegung zwischen der Kontaktbrücke 184 und der Kontaktoberfläche 300 des Kontakts 181 bzw. 180. Entweder gleitet die Kontaktbrücke mit ihrer Oberfläche in Gestalt einer Kante 279 über die Kontaktoberfläche 300 des Kontakts 180 bzw. 181, oder die Kontaktoberfläche 300 des Kontakts 180 bzw. 181 mit ihrer Oberflächengestalt einer Kante 320 gleitet über die Kontaktbrücke 184. Eine eventuelle stoffschlüssige Verbindung zwischen der Kontaktbrücke 184 und den Kontakten 180 bzw. 181 soll im Lösefall durch eine Schubkraftbelastung in der stoffschlüssigen Verbindung (Verschweissung) gelöst werden.Furthermore, a method for switching the
Die Kante 279 dient dazu, auf der Oberfläche der Kontakte 180 und 181 zu schaben bzw. zu scheuern, dadurch Reibung zu erzeugen und letztlich Energie umzuwandeln. Die umzuwandelnde Energie ist die Bewegungsenergie der Kontaktbrücke 184 und der während des Schaltvorgangs bewegten Teile, wie beispielsweise der Schaltbolzen 177, die Schnapphülse 241, Druckfeder 238, Führungskragen 232, Bund 223. Diese Bewegungsenergie wird durch die Reibung der Kontaktbrücke 184 auf den Kontakten 180 und 181 die Bewegungsenergie soweit abbauen, dass ein Zurückprellen der Kontaktbrücke 184 im Wesentlichen nicht mehr vorkommt und dadurch die Neigung zur Bildung von Lichtbögen zwischen den Kontakten 180 und 181 und der Kontaktbrücke 184 zumindest stark verringert ist.The
