Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Leistungsschalter mit einem Kurzschlussauslöser und einem thermischen Überlastauslöser, wobei der Kurzschlussauslöser einen Anker und einen Pol, die innerhalb eines Spulenkörpers angeordnet sind, sowie ein Jochblech und einen Klemmenanschluss aufweist, die um den Spulenkörper herum angeordnet sind, und wobei der thermische Überlastauslöser einen Metallstreifen aus mindestens zwei Metallarten aufweist, um welchen ein Heizleiter gewickelt ist, wobei zwischen Heizleiter und Metallstreifen ein elektrischer Isolator angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a circuit breaker with a short-circuit release and a thermal overload release, the short-circuit release having an armature and a pole, which are arranged within a bobbin, and a yoke plate and a terminal connection, which are arranged around the bobbin, and wherein the thermal overload release a metal strip of at least two types of metal, around which a heating conductor is wound, wherein between the heating conductor and metal strip, an electrical insulator is arranged.
Leistungsschalter mit derartigen Kurzschlussauslösern werden zum Schalten und Schützen von Motoren und anderen Verbrauchern eingesetzt. Diese Kurzschlussauslöser sind als elektromagnetische Auslöser konzipiert, die im Wesentlichen eine Spulenwicklung, einen Spulenkörper, einen Anker, einen Pol, einen Stößel, eine Rückhaltefeder und ein Joch umfassen. Der Anker zieht bei einem bestimmten Bemessungsstrom des Leistungsschalters, zum Beispiel einem zwölffachen Nennstrom beim Motorschutz oder einem neunzehnfachen Nennstrom beim Trafoschutz an. Die Ankerbewegung wirkt dabei auf ein Schaltschloss und auf ein bewegliches Schaltstück, um die Kontakte zu öffnen. Normgemäß darf dabei der Ansprechstrom maximal um +/-20% schwanken.Circuit breakers with such short-circuit releases are used for switching and protecting motors and other consumers. These short-circuit releases are designed as electromagnetic triggers that essentially comprise a coil winding, a bobbin, an armature, a pole, a plunger, a retaining spring and a yoke. The armature will pick up at a certain rated current of the circuit breaker, for example, 12 times the nominal current for motor protection or a 19 times the rated current for transformer protection. The armature movement acts on a switch lock and on a movable contact piece to open the contacts. Normally, the operating current may fluctuate by a maximum of +/- 20%.
Bei größeren Einstellbereichen besteht die Schwierigkeit darin, wegen der benötigten größeren Tragquerschnitte, geringeren Windungszahlen, größeren Toleranzen der Spule und des Wicklungsdrahtes und dem damit verbundenen inhomogeneren magnetischen Magnetfeld, die Spulenwicklung zum Luftspalt zwischen Anker und Joch hinreichend genau zu positionieren, damit die Ansprechgrenzen gemäß Norm eingehalten werden können. Außerdem besteht das Problem, die Spulenwicklung in der einmal ermittelten Position zum Luftspalt zu fixieren, damit beim Bemessungsstrom und bei hohem Kurzschlussstrom kein Verschieben der Spulenwicklung in Richtung des Eisenschwerpunkts erfolgt oder sich die Spule zusammenzieht und verformt und dadurch die Ansprechgrenzen anschließend nicht mehr eingehalten werden.For larger adjustment ranges, the difficulty is because of the required larger support cross-sections, smaller numbers of turns, greater tolerances of the coil and the winding wire and the associated inhomogeneous magnetic magnetic field, the coil winding to the air gap between the armature and yoke sufficiently accurately position so that the response limits according to standard can be complied with. There is also the problem of fixing the coil winding in the once determined position to the air gap, so that at the rated current and high short-circuit current no shifting the coil winding is in the direction of the center of gravity iron or the coil contracts and deformed and then the response limits are no longer met.
Bei höheren Schaltleistungen werden die Spulen mit anliegenden Wicklungswindungen hergestellt, um zu verhindern, dass sich bei hohen Kurzschlussströmen die Spule zusammenziehen und verformen kann. Auf Grund der Verwendung einheitlicher Spulenkörper für die jeweilige Baugröße und dessen Auslegung für die geometrisch größte Spulenwicklung, entsteht häufig eine Spalte zwischen Spulenkörperflansch oder Joch und der letzten Windung der Spulenwicklung. Nach der genauen Positionierung der Spulenwicklung zum Luftspalt zwischen Anker und Joch wird zur Fixierung der Spulenwicklung das eine Wicklungsende mit dem Spulenkörperflansch oder Joch verklebt und das andere Wicklungsende mit dem Anschluss verschweißt.At higher switching powers, the coils are made with adjacent winding turns to prevent the coil from contracting and deforming at high short circuit currents. Due to the use of uniform bobbin for each size and its interpretation for the largest geometric coil winding, often creates a gap between Spulenkörperflansch or yoke and the last turn of the coil winding. After the exact positioning of the coil winding to the air gap between the armature and the yoke, one end of the coil is glued to the bobbin flange or yoke to fix the coil winding, and the other end of the coil is welded to the connection.
Bei Leistungsschaltern mit einem hohen Schaltvermögen, beispielsweise bis zu 100 kA bei einem Nennstrom von 80 A, muss der Kurzschlussauslöser angepasst werden. Durch das hohe Schaltvermögen eines 80A-Gerätes ist der wärmetechnische Haushalt kritisch. Zudem erhöht sich wegen der steigenden Kontaktlast auch der Kraftbedarf am Auslöser. Unter der Voraussetzung, dass der Auslöser nicht mehr Verlustleistung als heutige 50A-Auslöser haben darf bei entsprechend gleicher Erregung, muss der Magnetkreis effizienter aufgebaut werden.For circuit breakers with a high switching capacity, for example up to 100 kA with a rated current of 80 A, the short-circuit release must be adapted. Due to the high switching capacity of an 80A device, the heat budget is critical. In addition, due to the increasing contact load also increases the power requirement on the trigger. Assuming that the trigger does not have more power than today's 50A releases with the same excitation, the magnetic circuit must be built more efficiently.
Die heutigen Schaltgeräte verfügen über einen schlechteren Magnetkreis, da das Jochblech gleichzeitig als Bimetallträger ausgebildet ist und aus einem platinierten Material, aus einer Paarung aus Eisen und Kupfer, gefertigt ist.Today's switching devices have a poorer magnetic circuit, since the yoke plate is simultaneously formed as a bimetal and is made of a platinum-plated material, a pair of iron and copper.
Bisher wurde dieses Problem eines schlechteren Magnetkreises mittels eines platinierten Kupfer-Stahlblechs und entsprechender Anordnung der Teile gelöst. Des Weiteren können partiell verbundene Materialien hergestellt werden und anschließend zur benötigten Materialpaarung angeordnet geformt werwerden. Ebenso werden andersförmige Jochbleche verwendet, die den Kern des Auslösers, bestehend aus Anker und Pol umschließen, um im zusammenspiel mit der Spule eine Auslösewirkung zu erzielen. Das Kraftniveau dieser Auslöser wird durch eine hoch dimensionierte Erregung gehalten. Das bedeutet eine ineffiziente Energieumwandlung zwischen elektrischer zu mechanischer Energie.So far, this problem has been solved by a poorer magnetic circuit by means of a platinum-plated copper steel sheet and a corresponding arrangement of the parts. In addition, partially bonded materials can be produced and then formed into the required material pairing. Likewise, different yoke plates are used, which enclose the core of the trigger, consisting of armature and pole, in order to achieve a triggering effect in conjunction with the coil. The strength level of these triggers is maintained by a high-level excitation. This means inefficient energy conversion between electrical to mechanical energy.
Dazu beschreibt die
Demgemäß besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, einen Leistungsschalter mit einem Kurzschlussauslöser und einem thermischen Überlastauslöser zu schaffen, der bei hohen Schaltleistungen ein definiertes Auslöseverhalten bei einer optimierten thermischen Beanspruchung zeigt.Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker with a short-circuit release and a thermal overload release that shows a defined tripping behavior at high switching performance at an optimized thermal stress.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Leistungsschalter mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Aus- und Weiterbildungen, welche einzeln oder in Kombination miteinander eingesetzt werden können, sind der Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a circuit breaker having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and developments, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Befestigung des thermischen Überlastauslösers am Jochblech über einen separaten Winkel ist vorzugsweise biegesteif ausgeführt. Dies beinhaltet die fixierte Verbindung zwischen dem separaten Winkel, insbesondere einem Stahlwinkel und dem Jochblech. Die biegesteife Ausführung kann vorzugsweise durch einen Stahlwinkel erreicht werden, der eine Prägung zur Versteifung aufweist. Zudem ist es möglich, die Verbindung zwischen dem thermischen Überlastauslöser, also zwischen dem Metallstreifen, der vorzugsweise als Bimetall ausgeführt ist und dem separaten Winkel durch eine Schweißung vorzunehmen, welche in der Höhe versetzt angeordnet ist.The attachment according to the invention of the thermal overload release on the yoke plate via a separate angle is preferably designed rigid. This includes the fixed connection between the separate angle, in particular one Steel angle and the yoke plate. The rigid version can preferably be achieved by a steel angle, which has an embossment for stiffening. In addition, it is possible to make the connection between the thermal overload release, ie between the metal strip, which is preferably designed as a bimetal and the separate angle by a weld, which is arranged offset in height.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Anbindung des Stahlwinkels an das Jochblech durch Anschlagnasen oder Zapfen ausgeführt.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the connection of the steel angle to the yoke plate is carried out by stop lugs or pins.
Es ist auch denkbar, die Anbindung des Stahlwinkels an das Jochblech ohne Anschlagnasen oder Zapfen auszuführen beziehungsweise den Stahlwinkel ohne Prägung beziehungsweise Sicke zu fertigen. Dies bedeutet, dass eine Neubewertung der Auslegungen hinsichtlich der Toleranzen, des Drehmoments, der Materialien sowie des Ausbiegeverhaltens notwendig ist.It is also conceivable to carry out the connection of the steel angle to the yoke plate without stop lugs or pins or to manufacture the steel angle without embossing or beading. This means that a re-evaluation of the design with regard to tolerances, torque, materials and bending behavior is necessary.
Erfindungsgemäß ist auch vorgesehen, dass die Fixierung über ein entsprechend angepasstes Formnest vorgenommen wird. Dieses Formnest kann auch als Schweißaufnahme verwendet werden, um beide Teile zu verbinden. Die Verbindung zwischen dem thermischen Überlastauslöser, also zwischen dem Bimetall und dem separaten Winkel, kann beispielsweise durch eine Laserscheißung erfolgen, bei der eine oder mehrere Längsnähte realisiert werden, die vertikal zueinander angeordnet sind. Die Verbindung kann auch mit einem anderen Schweißverfahren, zum Beispiel dem Widerstandsschweißen oder dem Wolfram-Inertgas-Schweißen (WIG-Schweißung) umgesetzt werden. Es ist auch denkbar, die Verbindung zu löten oder Schrauben zu verwenden.According to the invention it is also provided that the fixation is made via a correspondingly adapted mold cavity. This mold nest can also be used as a sweat receptacle to join both parts. The connection between the thermal overload release, ie between the bimetal and the separate angle, can be done for example by a Laserscheißung, in which one or more longitudinal seams are realized, which are arranged vertically to each other. The connection can also be implemented with another welding method, for example resistance welding or tungsten inert gas welding (TIG welding). It is also conceivable to solder the connection or to use screws.
Es ist insbesondere von Vorteil, den separaten Winkel in Hochkantform zu verwenden, da auf diese Weise ein steiferes Gesamtsystem entsteht. Der thermische Auslöser ist insgesamt biegesteifer ausgeführt. Es ist außerdem in vorteilhafter Weise vorgesehen, dass die Höhe des separaten Winkels variiert werden kann, um so der erhöhten Dauerbeanspruchung Rechnung zu tragen. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die direkte Verbindung zwischen dem separaten Winkel und dem Bimetall über eine Tasche im separaten Winkel umgesetzt ist, um die genaue Positionierung zu gewährleisten. Nach der Positionierung werden die Teile miteinander verbunden. Bei einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt wird die Spule mit dem Bimetall vereint. Auch dies kann durch bekannte Schweißverfahren umgesetzt werden. Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass eine angepasste Formgebung der Spule zwischen Spulenende und Bimetall zu einer Parallelität führt, die das Verbinden beider Teile erleichtert.It is particularly advantageous to use the separate angle in edgewise form, since in this way a stiffer overall system is formed. The thermal release is carried out more rigid overall. It is also advantageously provided that the height of the separate angle varies be able to take account of the increased continuous load. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the direct connection between the separate angle and the bimetal is implemented via a pocket in a separate angle in order to ensure the exact positioning. After positioning, the parts are joined together. In a further step, the coil is combined with the bimetal. This too can be implemented by known welding methods. In particular, it is provided that an adapted shaping of the coil between the coil end and the bimetal leads to a parallelism, which facilitates the connection of the two parts.
Der erfindungsgemäße Leistungsschalter zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Befestigung des thermischen Überlastauslösers, also des Bimetalls, am Jochblech des Kurzschlussauslösers, mittels eines zusätzlichen Teils in Form eines separaten Winkels ausgeführt ist. Die Fixierung des separaten Winkels, insbesondere eines Stahlwinkels an das Jochblech, kann über gestanzte Anschläge oder Zapfen im Jochblech erfolgen. Als Verbindungstechnik kann u. a. zwischen Laserscheißen, WIG-Schweißen, Löten, Widerstandsschweißen oder Schrauben, gewählt werden. Die biegesteife Verbindung zwischen dem separaten Winkel und dem Jochblech kann einerseits durch eine Prägung im separaten Winkel erreicht werden, andererseits mittels einer höhenversetzten Verschweißung des Bimetalls am Winkel. Dies führt insgesamt zu einer Aussteifung des Gesamtsystems des Auslösers. Von Vorteil ist auch, dass der separate Winkel als fixe Positionierung für die Anbindung der Windungsspule des Kurzschlussauslösers dient. Zudem kann der separate Winkel durch seine individuelle Formgebung als Höhenanschlag und Fixierung für das Gesamtsystem der Stromauslösebaugruppe in einem angepassten Oberteil beziehungsweise in einer Kammer dienen. Weitere Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Leistungsschalters bestehen darin, dass der separate Winkel als Schüttgut verwendet werden kann und Material sparend ist, so dass insgesamt eine Kostenersparnis gegeben ist.The circuit breaker according to the invention is characterized in that the attachment of the thermal overload release, so the bimetallic strip on the yoke plate of the short-circuit release is carried out by means of an additional part in the form of a separate angle. The fixation of the separate angle, in particular a steel angle to the yoke plate, can be done via punched stops or pins in the yoke plate. As a connection technique, inter alia, between laser shearing, TIG welding, soldering, resistance welding or screws can be selected. The rigid connection between the separate angle and the yoke plate can be achieved on the one hand by embossing in a separate angle, on the other hand by means of a height-offset welding of the bimetal at an angle. Overall, this leads to a stiffening of the entire system of the trigger. Another advantage is that the separate angle serves as a fixed positioning for the connection of the winding coil of the short-circuit release. In addition, the separate angle can serve as a height stop and fixation for the entire system of the power release module in an adapted upper part or in a chamber by its individual shape. Further advantages of the circuit breaker according to the invention are that the separate angle can be used as bulk material and material is saving, so that overall cost savings is given.

Der erfindungsgemäß Leistungsschalter zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Befestigung des thermischen Überlastauslösers, also des Bimetalls, am Jochblech des Kurzschlussauslösers, mittels eines zusätzlichen Teils in Form eines separaten Winkels ausgeführt ist. Die Fixierung des separaten Winkels, insbesondere eines Stahlwinkels an das Jochblech, kann über gestanzte Anschläge oder Zapfen im Jochblech erfolgen. Als Verbindungstechnik kann zwischen Laserscheißen, WIG-Schweißen, Löten, Widerstandsschweißen Schrauben oder Nieten, gewählt werden. Die biegesteife Verbindung zwischen dem separaten Winkel und dem Jochblech kann einerseits durch eine Prägung im separaten Winkel erreicht werden, andererseits mittels einer höhenversetzten Verschweißung des Bimetalls am Winkel. Dies führt insgesamt zu einer Aussteifung des Gesamtsystems des Auslösers. Von Vorteil ist auch, dass der separate Winkel als fixe Positionierung für die Anwendung der Windungsspule des Kurzschlussauslösers dient. Zudem kann der separate Winkel durch seine individuelle Formgebung als Höhenanschlag und Fixierung für das Gesamtsystem der Stromauslösebaugruppe in einem angepassten Oberteil beziehungsweise in einer Kammer dienen. Weitere Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Leistungsschalters bestehen darin, dass der separate Winkel als Schüttgut verwendet werden kann und Material sparend ist, so dass insgesamt eine Kostenersparnis gegeben ist.The circuit breaker according to the invention is characterized in that the attachment of the thermal overload release, ie the bimetal, on the yoke plate of the short-circuit release is carried out by means of an additional part in the form of a separate angle. The fixation of the separate angle, in particular a steel angle to the yoke plate, can be done via punched stops or pins in the yoke plate. As connection technology, it is possible to choose between laser shearing, TIG welding, soldering, resistance welding, screws or rivets. The rigid connection between the separate Angle and the yoke plate can be achieved on the one hand by an embossing in a separate angle, on the other hand by means of a height-offset welding of the bimetal at an angle. Overall, this leads to a stiffening of the entire system of the trigger. Another advantage is that the separate angle serves as a fixed positioning for the application of the winding coil of the short-circuit release. In addition, the separate angle can serve as a height stop and fixation for the entire system of the power release module in an adapted upper part or in a chamber by its individual shape. Further advantages of the circuit breaker according to the invention are that the separate angle can be used as bulk material and material is saving, so that overall cost savings is given.
