- the bearing surface 16 is bounded radially inwardly by a cylindrical elevation 18, on which the inner compression spring 15b is seated and thus likewise always held in the correct position. As it turns out, these measures are sufficient for correct positioning and guidance of the position of the springs in most cases.
- a bolt may be arranged centrally within the springs for guiding the springs 15a, 15b.
- the bolt head is then advantageous in a socket, which is screwed in the region of the spring support surface 16 of the hinge 11 facing first part of arm 10a with this arm 10a.

- the lengths of the first arm 9, the lengths of the first and second partial arms 10a, 10b, the dimensioning of the springs 15a, 15b and the distance between the switching shaft 2 and the bolt 14 are matched to one another such that in the in FIG. 3 shown extended position of the articulated lever 8 between the first part of arm 10a and the second part of arm 10b enough space for the compressed compression springs 15a, 15b is present.
- control shaft 2 is rotated counterclockwise via the first operating lever 21 and the second operating lever 22 and thereby the rocker arm 8 from its in FIG. 2 shown end position in an in FIG. 3 shown expanded position in which the rocker arm 8 is fully extended.
- the springs 15a, 15b are compressed or tensioned.
- the holder 13 serves as an abutment for the second arm 10 of the articulated lever 8 during compression of the springs 15a, 15b.
- the springs 15a, 15b relax and move the rocker arm 8 and thus also the selector shaft 2 abruptly counterclockwise to the in FIG. 4 As a result, the spring force is dimensioned such that it reaches a switching force required for switching the contacts of the switching device 1.
- the jump drive 3 has a structurally very simple structure and is characterized, in particular in combination with a stirrup drive, by a high reliability and shock resistance at the same time high compactness and small footprint.
- a great advantage is also that the stirrup drive 4 can be arranged below the base plate 5 instead of above the base plate 5, wherein the first actuating lever 21 is then coupled from below with the second actuating lever 22. This results in a high degree of flexibility with regard to the installation location and the operation of the switching device, which is particularly suitable for use in mobile systems such as e.g. in ships is of great advantage.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Schaltgerät, insbesondere einen Last-Trennschalter, mit einem Sprungantrieb gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1. Ein derartiges Schaltgerät ist z.B. aus der
Elektrische Schaltgeräte benötigen oftmals einen mittelbar wirkenden Antrieb, um sicherzustellen, dass Schaltvorgänge unabhängig von äußeren Einflüssen immer mit gleicher und genügender Geschwindigkeit erfolgen. Dies wird beispielsweise durch Sprungantriebe realisiert, die einen aufladbaren Energiespeicher umfassen, der ein sprunghaftes Schalten ermöglicht.Electrical switching devices often require an indirectly acting drive to ensure that switching operations always take place independently of external influences with the same and sufficient speed. This is realized, for example, by jump drives, which comprise a rechargeable energy store, which enables a sudden switching.
Dies gilt insbesondere für Last-Trennschalter, die zum Schalten von Hochspannungsstromkreisen im Bereich der Industrie und der Marinesysteme eingesetzt werden. In Marinesystemen finden beispielsweise Last-Trennschalter für Gleichspannungen von 450 V bis 900 V und Schaltströme bis 400 A Anwendung. Während der Schaltvorgänge eines solchen Last-Trennschalters entstehen, bedingt durch die hohen Schaltströme und Schaltspannungen, Lichtbögen, die zu einem allmählichen Abbrand der Kontakte führen und somit die Schalteinrichtungen verschleißen lassen. Um einen Abbrand der Kontakte zu minimieren, müssen die entstehenden Lichtbögen möglichst gering ausfallen. Dies kann durch kurze Schaltzeiten erzielt werden. Um die Schaltzeiten solcher Last-Trennschalter zu reduzieren, werden die Schaltkinematiken innerhalb der Last-Trennschalter mit Sprungantrieben versehen. Durch den Sprungantrieb wird die Geschwindigkeit der Bewegung, die ein Bediener auf ein Schaltelement aufbringt, im Bereich eines Schaltpunktes erhöht. Dies erfolgt in der Regel durch Federelemente im Sprungantrieb.This is especially true for load disconnectors used to switch high voltage circuits in the industrial and marine systems. In marine systems, for example, load disconnectors for DC voltages from 450 V to 900 V and switching currents up to 400 A are used. During the switching operations of such a load disconnector arise due to the high switching currents and switching voltages, arcs, which lead to a gradual burn-off of the contacts and thus can wear the switching devices. To minimize burnup of the contacts, the resulting arcing must be as low as possible. This can be achieved by short switching times. In order to reduce the switching times of such load disconnectors, the switching kinematics within the load disconnectors are provided with stepper drives. The jump drive increases the speed of movement that an operator applies to a switching element in the region of a switching point. This is usually done by spring elements in jump drive.

Ausgehend hiervon ist es Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung, ein Schaltgerät mit einem Sprungantrieb anzugeben, das sich durch einen einfachen konstruktiven Aufbau, geringe Bauteilanzahl und einen geringen Platzbedarf auszeichnet und somit insbesondere für die Verwendung in mobilen Systemen mit beengten Platzverhältnissen, wie sie z.B. in Schiffen vorliegen, geeignet ist.Based on this, it is an object of the present invention to provide a switching device with a jump drive, which is characterized by a simple structural design, small number of components and a small footprint and thus in particular for use in mobile systems with limited space, such as. in ships, is suitable.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt durch ein elektrisches Schaltgerät gemäß Patentanspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind jeweils Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The solution of this object is achieved by an electrical switching device according to
Bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Schaltgerät mit einer Schaltwelle und mit einem Sprungantrieb mit einem Federelement, das eine sprungartige Bewegung der Schaltwelle bewirkt, umfasst der Sprungantrieb einen Knickhebel mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Arm, wobei der erste Arm an seinem dem zweiten Arm abgewandten Ende drehfest mit der Schaltwelle verbunden ist und der zweite Arm an seinem dem ersten Arm abgewandten Ende ortsfest in Bezug zu der Schaltwelle drehbeweglich gelagert ist, und wobei der zweite Arm zwei Teilarme umfasst, zwischen denen das Federelement angeordnet ist. Durch eine Drehung der Schaltwelle kann der Hebel von einer gekippten Lage, in der das Federelement nicht gespannt ist, in eine Strecklage bewegt werden, wobei das Federelement gespannt wird. Bei Überschreiten der Strecklage kann sich dann das Federelement entspannen und bewegt dann sprungartig den Kipphebel und die damit verbunden Schaltwelle, wodurch ein schneller Schaltvorgang in dem Schaltgerät bewirkt wird. Der Knickhebel dient dabei sowohl zum Spannen des Federelementes als auch als Übertragungsglied zum Übertragen der Federkraft auf die Schaltwelle. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung zeichnet sich somit durch nur eine geringe Anzahl von Bauteilen und einen geringen Platzbedarf aus. Bei einem Knickhebel handelt es sich um ein konstruktiv einfaches Bauelement, so dass sich die erfindungsgemäße Lösung auch durch einen konstruktiv einfachen Aufbau auszeichnet. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist dabei, dass der Sprungantrieb in beiden Schaltrichtungen, d.h. sowohl für einen Ausschaltvorgang als auch für einen Einschaltvorgang wirkt. Hierdurch können ebenfalls Bauteile eingespart werden. Außerdem kann der Sprungantrieb von mehreren Seiten bedient werden, was die Flexibilität hinsichtlich des Einbauortes des Schaltgerätes und seiner Bedienung erhöht.In a switching device according to the invention with a switching shaft and with a jump drive with a spring element which causes a sudden movement of the switching shaft, comprising Jump drive a buckling lever with a first and a second arm, wherein the first arm at its end facing away from the second arm is rotatably connected to the switching shaft and the second arm is rotatably mounted at its end facing away from the first arm stationary relative to the shift shaft, and wherein the second arm comprises two sub-arms, between which the spring element is arranged. By a rotation of the switching shaft, the lever can be moved from a tilted position in which the spring element is not stretched in an extended position, wherein the spring element is tensioned. When the extended position is exceeded, the spring element can then relax and then abruptly moves the rocker arm and the switching shaft connected thereto, as a result of which a rapid switching operation in the switching device is effected. The articulated lever serves both to tension the spring element and as a transmission member for transmitting the spring force to the shift shaft. The solution according to the invention is thus characterized by only a small number of components and a small footprint. In an articulated lever is a structurally simple component, so that the solution according to the invention is also characterized by a structurally simple structure. Another advantage is that the jump drive acts in both switching directions, ie both for a switch-off and for a switch-on. As a result, components can also be saved. In addition, the jump drive can be operated from multiple sides, which increases the flexibility in terms of the installation location of the switching device and its operation.
Bevorzugt ist an den beiden Teilarmen eine Halterung für das Federelement ausgebildet. Das Federelement kann somit zuverlässig in einer korrekten Position zwischen den beiden Teilarmen gehalten werden.Preferably, a holder for the spring element is formed on the two partial arms. The spring element can thus be reliably held in a correct position between the two partial arms.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung umfasst das Federelement eine oder mehrere Druckfedern, da sich Druckfedern durch eine vergleichsweise hohe Ausfallsicherheit auszeichnen.According to an advantageous embodiment, the spring element comprises one or more compression springs, since compression springs are characterized by a comparatively high reliability.
Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Ausfallsicherheit kann das Federelement auch zwei konzentrisch zueinander angeordnete Druckfedern umfassen. Somit kann auch bei Ausfall einer der beiden Federn die Funktion des Schaltgerätes aufrecht erhalten werden. Die konzentrische Anordnung führt außerdem zu einer gleichmäßigen Federbelastung und zu einem geringen Platzbedarf.To further increase the reliability, the spring element may also comprise two concentric pressure springs arranged. Thus, even if one of the two springs fails, the function of the switching device can be maintained. The concentric arrangement also leads to a uniform spring load and a small footprint.
Eine besonders hohe Kompaktheit und Schockfestigkeit des Schaltgerätes sowie mechanische Stabilität des Sprungantriebs ist dadurch möglich, dass das Schaltgerät eine Grundplatte aufweist, in oder auf der die Schaltwelle und der zweite Arm des Knickhebels drehbeweglich gelagert sind.A particularly high compactness and shock resistance of the switching device and mechanical stability of the jump drive is possible because the switching device has a base plate in or on which the switching shaft and the second arm of the articulated lever are rotatably mounted.
Für eine manuelle Bedienung weist das Schaltgerät von Vorteil ein manuell betätigbares Bedienelement und einen Mechanismus zur Umwandlung einer Bewegung des Bedienelementes in eine rotatorische Bewegung der Schaltwelle auf.For manual operation, the switching device advantageously on a manually operable control element and a mechanism for converting a movement of the operating element in a rotational movement of the shift shaft.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung umfasst das Bedienelement einen Bedienhebel, der drehfest mit einer drehbaren Scheibe verbunden ist, durch die ein Ende eines ersten Betätigungshebel geführt ist, der mit seinem anderen Ende wiederum einen zweiten Betätigungshebel führt, der drehfest mit der Schaltwelle verbunden ist.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the control element comprises an operating lever which is rotatably connected to a rotatable disc through which one end of a first actuating lever is guided, which in turn leads with its other end a second operating lever which is non-rotatably connected to the switching shaft.

Bei Last-Trennschaltern kommen üblicherweise Nockenschaltelemente als Schalteinheiten zum Einsatz. Bei Spannungen von über 24V werden die Nockenschaltelemente mit Lichtbogenkammern ausgerüstet, die für die Löschung des Lichtbogens sorgen. Der Last-Trennschalter 2 weist deshalb nicht näher dargestellte Nockenschaltelemente und Lichtbogenkammern auf. Außerdem weist die Schaltwelle 2 nicht näher dargestellte Nocken zur Betätigung der Nockenschaltelemente auf.In load disconnectors usually cam switching elements are used as switching units. At voltages higher than 24V, the cam switching elements are equipped with arcing chambers to extinguish the arc. The

Bei dem Steigbügelantrieb 4 handelt es sich um einen Handantrieb, d.h. die Bedienung erfolgt manuell, zum Beispiel über einen Bedienhebel 6, und nicht über zusätzliche Antriebsaggregate. Ein Betätigungsmechanismus 7 dient zur Umwandlung einer Bewegung eines Bedienhebels 6 des Steigbügelantriebes 4 in eine rotatorische Bewegung der Schaltwelle 2. Der Bedienhebel 6 ist hierzu drehfest mit einer drehbaren Scheibe 20 verbunden, durch die ein Ende eines ersten Betätigungshebel 21 geführt ist, der mit seinem anderen Ende wiederum einen zweiten Betätigungshebel 22 führt, der drehfest mit der Schaltwelle 2 verbunden ist. Der erste Betätigungshebel 21 weist zur Führung des zweiten Betätigungshebels 22 ein Langloch 23 auf. In diesem wird ein Bolzen 24 geführt, der auf dem zweiten Betätigungshebel 22 sitzt.In the stirrup drive 4 is a manual drive, ie the operation is done manually, for example via an

Durch diese Bewegung wird der Bolzen 24 in die obere Endlage des Langloches 23 gedrückt und kraftschlüssig von dem ersten Betätigungshebel 21 mitgeführt.

Die Auflagefläche 16 wird radial nach außen begrenzt durch eine ringförmige Erhöhung 17, an der die äußere Druckfeder 15a anliegt und somit stets in der richtigen Position gehalten wird. Zum anderen wird die Auflagefläche 16 radial nach innen durch eine zylinderförmige Erhöhung 18 begrenzt, auf der die innere Druckfeder 15b sitzt und somit ebenfalls stets in der richtigen Position gehalten wird. Wie sich herausgestellt hat, sind diese Maßnahmen für eine korrekte Positionierung und Führung der Lage der Federn in den meisten Fällen ausreichend.Each of the
