Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical switch, in particular electrical circuit breaker, with a rotor housing which is rotatable in an on and an off position, and at least one rotatably mounted in the rotor housing electrical contact arm, which is pivotable together with and relative to the rotor housing.
  • Such a switch is from the German patent application DE 10 2008 039 066 A1 known.
  • This switch comprises a rotor housing and a rotatably mounted in the rotor housing, two electrical contact arms having contact bridge, which is pivotable between an on and an off position and relative to the rotor housing.
  • the electrical contact bridge In the on position, the electrical contact bridge connects contact elements of the contact bridge with stationary contact elements of the switch.
  • To turn on and off the contact bridge can be pivoted by the rotor housing is rotated; while the rotating rotor housing pivots with the contact bridge.
  • the contact bridge without a rotation of the rotor housing, so relative to the rotor housing, pivot or rotate and assume a "triggered" position, namely, when the current flowing through the contact bridge is too large: In this case, the contact bridge over a pivoted by the current caused magnetic force relative to the rotor housing, whereby the contact elements of the contact bridge and the fixed contact elements of the switch are separated from each other.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a switch that allows a particularly safe handling by operators.
  • the invention provides that the switch has a directly or indirectly coupled to the rotor housing display element indicating the on position of the rotor housing in a display position and in another display position, the off position of the rotor housing.
  • a significant advantage of the switch according to the invention is the fact that in this case the position of the rotor housing of the switch is visualized by the present invention provided adjustable display element. It is thus possible to detect the position of the rotor housing and determine whether the switch is in a safe state, because only if the rotor housing assumes its off position, it is ensured that the switch must be actually turned off and the mounted in the rotor housing contact arm must assume its off position.
  • the switch according to the invention thus also satisfies the problem of fused contacts. Namely, if the electrical contacts of the switch are fused together, for example due to an overcurrent situation, the rotor housing can not assume its off position, so that this state - regardless for example of the position of a handle of the switch - can be seen.
  • the adjustable display element can interact directly or indirectly with the rotor housing. It is regarded as advantageous, however, if a deflection element is present, which cooperates with a coupled to the rotor housing control and adjusts the display element during a rotational movement of the control.
  • the switch may, for example, comprise a contact bridge which comprises the contact arm and a further contact arm, wherein each of the two contact arms is provided at its contact arm end with a contact element.
  • the switch has a handle - for example in the form of an operating lever - which is coupled to the rotor housing and in the trouble-free case enables switching on and off of the switch .
  • the display element preferably indicates the position of the rotor housing independently of the position of the handle.
  • the deflection element converts a rotary movement of the control element into a lifting movement of the adjustable display element.
  • the adjustable display element is held slidably and (for example, due to gravity or due to a spring force) enters or falls in its display position indicating the off position of the contact arm, if it is not raised by the deflecting element or held by the deflecting element in the raised position.
  • the deflection element rests on the outside of the control element and the outer contour of the control element is dependent on the rotation angle such that the deflection element is moved, in particular displaced and / or pivoted, during a rotation of the control element.
  • the control element is preferably a control disk, for example a cam disk.
  • the adjustable display element for example, due to gravity or due to a spring force
  • the adjustable display element in its the off position of the rotor housing indicating Display position comes or falls when the rotor housing assumes its off position and (eg against gravity or a spring force) is brought or raised in its display position of the rotor housing indicating position when the rotor housing assumes its on position.
  • the deflection element comprises a movable lever or is formed by one which is in mechanical contact with its first lever arm with the control element and with its second lever arm with the adjustable display element.
  • the first lever arm for example, due to gravity or due to a spring force
  • the adjustable display element on the second lever arm eg due to gravity or due to a spring force
  • the adjustable display element is held in a sliding manner.
  • the deflecting element is a lever (preferably in the form of a rocker) which is held in a pivotable manner
  • the adjustable display element points into its off position of the rotor housing The display position comes or falls when the first lever arm of the lever is lifted by the control and is brought or raised to its display position indicating the on position of the rotor housing when the first lever arm of the lever (eg due to gravity or due to a spring force ) lowers.
  • the deflection element is a lever which is displaceably held (for example translationally)
  • the adjustable display element points into its off position of the rotor housing Display position comes or falls when the first lever arm of the lever is lowered by the control (eg due to gravity or due to a spring force) and (eg against gravity or a spring force) to its display position indicating the on position of the rotor housing is brought or raised when the first lever arm of the lever is raised.
  • the control element may have a guide slot which guides the deflection element.
  • the control may be a separate part connected to the rotor housing.
  • the connection may be, for example, a plug connection.
  • the control can be plugged onto the rotor housing.
  • control element can be integrally connected to the rotor housing and / or form part of the rotor housing.
  • FIG. 1 One sees components of an electrical contact system 10 for an electrical switch in a three-dimensional view. It can be seen a rotor housing 20 which is rotatable along an arrow direction P. Within the rotor housing 20 is a contact bridge 30, which is also pivotable along the direction of the arrow P together with the rotor housing 20 or relative to the rotor housing 20. The axis of rotation about which the contact bridge 30 and the rotor housing 20 are rotatable or pivotable, is in the FIG. 1 designated by the reference numeral 40.
  • the contact bridge 30 is formed by a first contact arm 50 and a second contact arm 51. Each of the two contact arms 50 and 51 is equipped at the contact arm end with a contact element.
  • the contact elements are in the FIG. 1 designated by the reference numerals 60 and 61.
  • FIG. 1 can be seen beyond two stationary contact rails 70 and 71, which cooperate with the contact bridge 30.
  • the two contact rails 70 and 71 each equipped with a stationary contact element 80 or 81.
  • the rotor housing 20 in the on position and the contact bridge 30 also in its on position:
  • the switch is thus closed, so that an electric current can flow from the contact rail 70 via the contact bridge 30 to the contact rail 71.
  • the contact elements 60 and 61 of the contact bridge 30 are on the corresponding stationary contact elements 80 and 81 of the two contact rails 70 and 71.
  • FIG. 2 shows the contact system 10 according to FIG. 1 in the tripped state:
  • the contact bridge 30 is in its off position, wherein the rotor housing 20 assumes its on position unchanged. It can be seen that the contact bridge 30 relative to the rotor housing 20 and with respect to in the FIG. 1 pivoted position is shown. Due to the pivoting angle, the contact elements 60 and 61 of the contact bridge 30 are separated from the corresponding stationary contact elements 80 and 81 of the two contact rails 70 and 71.
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a switch 100, which is connected to the contact system 10 according to the FIGS. 1 and 2 Is provided.
  • the contact system 10 is located within a pile cassette 110 of the switch 100.
  • a control element in the form of a control disk 120 is plugged onto the rotor housing 20 of the contact system 10.
  • the control disk 120 thus rotates with the rotor housing 20 about the axis of rotation D of the rotor housing 20.
  • the outer contour 121 of the control disk 120 is dependent on the rotation angle.
  • the switch 100 is also equipped with a deflection element in the form of a lever 130, the first lever arm 131 cooperates with the outer contour 121 of the control disk 120.
  • the lever 130 is mounted such that the first lever arm 131 always rests on the outer contour 121 of the control disk 120.
  • the relative position of the first lever arm 131 is thus dependent on the respective rotational angle of the rotor housing 20, since the outer contour 121 of the control disk 120 - as already mentioned - is dependent on the angle of rotation.
  • the first lever arm 131 of the lever 130 is raised or lowered depending on the respective rotational angle of the rotor housing 20.
  • the lever 130 may, in order to enable resting on the outer contour 121, be displaceably mounted and / or pivotable about a pivot axis.
  • the lever 130 also has a second lever arm 132, on which a lower end 141 of a display element 140 rests. So is the second lever arm 132 of the lever 130 in a in the FIG. 3 lower position, so the display element 140 will lower and take a lower position. Similarly, the indicator member 140 will be lifted by the second lever arm 132 of the lever 130 when it itself assumes its upper position.
  • the rotor housing 20 of the switch 100 in its on position, in which the contact bridge 30 of the contact system 10 can assume a closed position.
  • the contact bridge 30 is energized.
  • This position of the rotor housing 20 is now indicated by the corresponding position of the control disk 120, the position of the lever 130 and in particular that of the second lever arm 132 and thus by the position of the display element 140; because the display element 140 is in the in the FIG. 3 shown position of the rotor housing 20 raised, which is preferably visible from the outside.
  • FIG. 4 shows the switch 100 in the in FIG. 3 illustrated on-position of the rotor housing 20 in another illustration.
  • the second lever arm 132 of the lever 130 will lift the display element 140 so that it can protrude out of the switch housing 101.
  • the display element 140 so the on position of the rotor housing 20 can be seen. It is thus visible to a user of the switch 100 from the outside that the position of the rotor housing 20 would allow a closed state of the contact bridge 30. It is therefore possible that the contact bridge 30 is in its on position and current can flow through the switch 100.
  • the display element 140 displays this state independently of the respective actual position of the contact bridge 30 and independently of the respective position of a handle 150 with which the electrical switch 100 can be switched on or off. The display element 140 thus makes it possible to signal a potentially switched-on state of the switch 100, even if the handle 150 assumes a different position and suggests that the switch 100 must be switched off.
  • FIG. 5 shows the switch 100 according to the Figures 3 and 4 again in the off position of the rotor housing 20.
  • the rotor housing 20 is rotated relative to the on position, so that the contact bridge 30 is also necessarily pivoted in its off position.
  • the contact bridge 30 is also necessarily pivoted in its off position.
  • a current flow through the contact system 10 is excluded.
  • the control disk 120 is rotated due to the rotation of the rotor housing 20, the outer contour 121 is dependent on rotation angle. Due to the rotation angle dependence of the outer contour 121, when the rotor housing 20 is rotated, the lever 130 is deflected or moved, because the first lever arm 131 on the outer contour 121 is up. For this reason, the position of the second lever arm 132 of the lever 130 will also change.
  • the second lever arm 132 is lowered, so that the display element 140 is also lowered downwards.
  • the display element 140 will thus assume a lower position, in which it will no longer protrude out of the switch housing 101 of the switch 100, for example.
  • the upper section 142 will no longer be visible. An operator can thus recognize that the electrical switch 100 is in a safe state, since the rotor housing 20 has actually reached its off position.
