Definitions

  • the invention relates to a low-voltage circuit breaker with locking device for the rocker arm according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein a circuit breaker and a circuit breaker is to be understood.
  • a Absch distributedvorrichung is attached to the top of the switch.
  • a generic locking device of a circuit breaker in which the rocker arm can assume two stable positions corresponding to the on position and the off position of the switching device, wherein the switch housing is provided with sealing openings.
  • the locking device comprises a lever, a locking clip, a probe element and a spreading element.
  • the lever is displaceable between a first, upper position and a second, lower position and has a first opening, which allows the passage of a U-lock for locking when the lever has been moved to the second position.
  • the lever is mounted in a cap having a second opening which is aligned with the first opening when the lever is in the second position, and serves to perform the U-lock.
  • the locking clip includes two spring arms on which are formed lugs for engaging in the Plombierö réelleen when the rocker arm in one of its stable positions stands, wherein the locking device is designed so that it can be attached to the switch housing when the rocker arm is in one or the other of its stable positions.
  • the locking clip is mounted in the attachment and includes a Tastelement forming, U-shaped central part, wherein the legs of the central part are extended by the spring arms.
  • the locking clip has a clearance that is sufficiently large to allow the clip to take more or less inclined position when the shift lever is in other than one of its two stable positions.
  • the probe element is designed to detect an intermediate position between said stable positions of the rocker arm and to prevent the closing in this position.
  • the spreader connected to the lever serves to force the spring arms apart when the lever is moved from the first position to the second position to insert the lugs into the seal openings.
  • the hood-like attachment encloses the rocker arm.
  • the stop serves as an end support of the rocker arm in a lock-off position, which takes place by transfer from the normal off position by a permissible over-stroke of the rocker arm when the switch contacts are not welded.
  • each forced pivoting of the rocker arm into the lock-off position requires an actuation force that is greater than or equal to a fixed limit, above which a destruction of the switching mechanism occurs.
  • the switching mechanism is designed according to the limit, which is rarely possible with circuit breakers. As a conclusion of the rocker arm despite destruction of the switching mechanism is still not excluded, the operator could run out with dangerous consequences of a de-energized circuit.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a circuit breaker with a cost-locking device, with a completion of the rocker arm is excluded in welded main contacts.
  • the rocker arm is securely locked in its off position, as by the in the at least one Closing opening of the locking device Hinged bracket of a U-lock
  • the head screw for a tool is concealed, whereby a release of the locking device is excluded from the switching device without authorized removal of the U-lock.
  • the circuit breaker is connectable to a non-intrusive, easy-to-attach locking device.
  • An advantageous development of the invention consists in a one-piece, low-cost locking device.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that connect to the cover on both sides two eye-shaped, mutually aligned locking openings in the tilting direction of the rocker arm.
  • the through-bore is accessible between the spaced-apart Absch.ötechnisch.
  • the head screw is locked by a hook lock suspended in the two locking openings.
  • An advantageous development which in particular serves to block the cap screw, is that the longitudinal axes of the through-hole and the at least one closing opening intersect perpendicularly.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is that in the mounted state of the locking device and in welded main contacts of the rocker arm of one of the first inner wall opposite, the second inner wall of the cover is close to.
  • the rocker arm can be surrounded both in the off position and in welded main contacts of the cover, a fastening of the locking device by means of the cap screw is not possible because of the fixed distance between the threaded hole and rocker arm.
  • An advantageous development of the invention also consists in that the outer contour of the locking device facing the switch housing is designed to conform to the switch housing in the region of the passage opening for the rocker arm, in particular when at least one web protrudes laterally from the locking device in the direction of the switch housing, into a corresponding one , trained in addition to the passage opening Bridge recording is inserted in the switch housing. This facilitates secure placement and connection of the locking device on the switching device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a circuit breaker 1, which is executed in this case unipolar.
  • the circuit breaker 1 has a rocker arm 3, with which the circuit breaker 1 can be switched on and off.
  • the circuit breaker 1 is enclosed by a switch housing 5, which has a passage opening 7 for the rocker arm 3.
  • the circuit breaker 1 has of course electrical main contacts, which are operatively connected to a switching mechanism, and can be closed or opened by actuation of the rocker arm 3. From the switching mechanism is in Fig. 1 merely to see a shift gate 9, with which the protruding from the switch housing 5 rocker arm 3 is rigidly connected.
  • the shift gate 9 is tiltable in the switch housing 5 about a fixed pivot axis and has a threaded bore 11 in the vicinity of the rocker arm 3.
  • the threaded bore 11 is accessible in the off position of the circuit breaker 1 from the outside through the passage opening 7 and extends approximately radially to the aforementioned pivot axis.
  • the rocker arm 3 assumes two stable positions corresponding to the on position and the off position of the main contacts, of which in Fig. 1 the off position is shown. When welded main contacts, however, the rocker arm 3 takes a different position from the off position and the on position.
  • Fig. 1 also shows a locking device 13 in a position for placement on the switch housing 5.
  • the locking device 13 has a front side on the switch housing 5 can be placed cover 15 to enclose the rocker arm 3 in its off position.
  • the locking device 13 is integrally formed as an injection molded part.
  • the locking device 13 has near the cover 15 on a through hole 17.
  • the threaded shaft 19 of a cap screw 21 can reach the threaded hole 11 to be connected to the shift gate 9 and thus to secure the locking device 13 on the switch housing 5.
  • the tightened in the threaded bore 11 cap screw 21 is supported with its head 23 at an outlet 25 of the through hole 17 from.
  • On both sides of the cover 13 close to two eye-shaped, mutually aligned Absch Anlagenötechnisch 27.
  • the access to the through hole 17 is located between the two closing openings 27.
  • the longitudinal axis 29 of the through hole 17 and the common longitudinal axis 31 of the two closing openings 27 intersect perpendicular to one another.
  • the switch housing 5 facing outer contour of the locking device 13 is adapted to the switch housing 5 in the region of the passage opening 7.
  • the same purpose serve a web recording 35, which is formed adjacent to the passage opening 7 in the switch housing 5, and a web of the receptacle 35 adapted web 33, which is laterally formed by the cover 15.
  • Fig. 2 shows the circuit breaker 1 in the off position with attached locking device 13.
  • the rocker arm 3 is covered by the cover 15 and completed by a padlock 37.
  • the bracket 39 of the U-lock 37 was hooked into the two Abschröötechnisch 27. In this case, the bracket 39 blocks access to the located in the outlet 25 of the through hole 17 head 23 of the cap screw 21. Without releasing the padlock 37 thus removal of the locking device 13 and thus actuation of the rocker arm 3 from its off position is not possible.
  • the shift mechanism 41 includes, among other components, the aforementioned shift gate 9.
  • the shift gate 9 is tiltably mounted about the pivot axis 43 mounted in the shift mechanism 41. Opposite to the pivot axis 43, the shift gate 9 in the manner of a Part of a cylinder jacket formed and carries the protruding from the switch housing 5 rocker arm 3. About the passage opening 7 for the rocker arm 3 sits the locking device 13 and encloses with its cover 15 in the off-position rocker arm third
  • the threaded bore 11 and the rocker arm 3 are arranged offset at a certain angle on the shift gate 9.
  • the through-hole 17 and a cover 15 belonging to the first inner wall 45 of the cover 15, which faces the off-position rocker arm 3 close, arranged offset with a certain distance.
  • the said offsets between the threaded bore 11 and the rocker arm 3 on the one hand and between the through hole 17 and the first inner wall 45 on the other hand are dimensioned to each other in such a way that only in the off position, both the rocker arm 3 can be covered by the cover 15 and the through hole 17 is in alignment with the threaded hole 11, so that only in the off position, the head screw 21 can reach over the through hole 17 in the locking device 13 in the threaded hole 11 for fixing the locking device 13 on the switch housing 5.
  • the cap screw 21 can not be manipulated with a tool.
  • Fig. 4 shows the circuit breaker 1 in a state in which the main contacts welded together as a result of a short circuit and thus are still closed. Due to the short circuit of the switching mechanism 41 has indeed been triggered, but could the shift gate 9 and thus the rocker arm 3 is not the normal off position according to Fig. 3 taking. As a result of the switching mechanism 41 inherent elasticity and the restoring forces caused by the welded main contacts take the shift gate 9 and thus necessarily the rocker arm 3 and the threaded hole 11 positions, compared to the in Fig. 3 shown positions are offset by the same angular amount counterclockwise. Also in this state, the rocker arm 3 can be covered by the cover 15.
  • the rocker arm 3 is now one of the first inner wall 45 located opposite, second inner wall 47 of the cover 15 close to. However, now the through hole 17 and the threaded hole 11 are out of alignment, so that the cap screw 21 can not penetrate into the threaded hole 11 for securing the locking device 13.
  • the threaded bore 11 is also partially covered by the switch housing 5.
  • One Attempt to complete the rocker arm 3 despite welded main contacts is doomed to failure. Because the effort to move the cap 15 enclosed by the tilting lever 3 against the restoring force of the switching mechanism 41 with the second inner wall 47 in a clockwise direction towards the normal off position, causes no change to the relative position and thus to the offset between the threaded hole 11 and the through hole 17.
  • circuit breakers are also to be understood as load-disconnectors.
  • circuit breakers are also to be understood as load-disconnectors.
