Definitions

  • the invention relates to a miniature circuit breaker for use in a motor vehicle electronics according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a miniature circuit breaker is made of DE 20 2009 010 473 U1 known.
  • Miniature circuit breakers of this kind are increasingly replacing the flat-type fuses hitherto used as standard in the automotive sector. These are standardized with regard to their geometric dimensions.
  • the relevant norm in Germany is DIN 72581-3.
  • ISO 8820 is currently being prepared in this area. In the latter standard, three sizes are defined for the flat-type fuses, namely "Type C (medium)", “Type E (high current)” and "Type F (miniature)”.
  • a miniature circuit breaker is generally referred to here a circuit breaker, which is compatible in terms of its geometric dimensions with a socket for a Flachsteckêtêt, in particular a Flachsteck mixer the type F according to ISO 8820.
  • Circuit breakers of the abovementioned type usually comprise as tripping mechanism a bimetallic snap-action disc, which changes suddenly and reversibly between two curvature positions as a function of the temperature.
  • the Bimetallschnappulation is firmly connected in a mounting point with a bimetallic contact.
  • the remote from the attachment point free end of Bimetallschnappulation forms or carries a moving contact, which abuts a corresponding fixed contact, as long as the temperature prevailing in the circuit breaker temperature falls below a temperature threshold.
  • an electrically conductive path between the bimetallic contact and the fixed contact is thus closed via the Bimetallschnappulation.
  • the Bimetallschnappulation abruptly changes its shape, whereby the moving contact lifted from the fixed contact and the current path is thus separated.
  • a Type 1 (automatic reset) switch will open in the event of overcurrent and close again automatically without user intervention after a period of time - usually when the bimetal has cooled down again. With pending overcurrent, there is a cyclic opening and closing of the switch.
  • a switch according to Type 2 (modified reset) remains open after an overcurrent tripping, as long as a minimum voltage is present. Until the final opening, some opening and closing cycles are allowed.
  • a switch according to Type 3 (manual reset) is disconnected when over-current and by manual intervention, usually by means of a push button, the circuit can be closed again. In the present case, it is in particular a type 2 circuit breaker.
  • U1 known miniature circuit breaker is positioned at a distance from the Bimetallschnappulation heating resistor, for example, a PTC resistor with a positive temperature coefficient (positive temperature coefficient) in SMD technology (surface mounted device) soldered to the contact arms.
  • the Bimetallschnappulation is kept open by means of this electrically connected in parallel SMD or PTC resistor following an over current tripping (tripping case) by maintained in the overload or short circuit on the heating resistor even after the release of the circuit breaker, a low current flow and the This heat loss generated in the heating resistor is used for heating the Bimetallschnappulation.
  • the bimetal can be provided with a heating coil, wherein also this heating coil is electrically connected in parallel to the bimetal.
  • the bimetal is held open following an overcurrent release of the bimetal by heating the winding, which gives off the heat to the bimetal. Since the winding rests against the bimetal, a good heat transfer is achieved.
  • electrical insulation must be ensured between the bimetal and the winding, for example in the form of glass fiber insulation or a film (e.g., Kapton), which, however, limits heat transfer and requires a great deal of effort and makes automated production particularly difficult.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a suitable for miniaturization, easy to produce and specify with respect to an unwanted snap back snap the bimetallic snap especially reliable circuit breaker.
  • a compression spring by means of the spring force of the PTC resistor gezzauseintem against the Bimetallschnappulation, designed as a conical spring.
  • the conical spring has a base-side spring end with a comparatively large spring diameter and a vertex-side spring end with a comparatively small spring diameter and is therefore also referred to below as a truncated cone spring.
  • the truncated cone spring is suitably gepurintem with its base-side spring end on the contact arm, while the crest-side spring end of the conical spring preferably rests centrally on the PTC resistor.
  • the PTC resistor preferably circular and designed for this purpose as a resistance disc or plate.
  • the disk diameter of the PTC resistor is in turn suitably adapted to the comparatively large spring diameter of the conical spring and expediently at least approximately equal to the diameter thereof at the base-side spring end.
  • This configuration allows on the one hand a particularly compact design of the spring and the resistor, which in turn requires a particularly small space requirement of these components within the miniature circuit breaker.
  • this design and style allows the provision of a particularly effective pivot or tilt point in the system of the compression spring by their crest-side spring end rests with the small spring diameter there at the PTC resistor.
  • the arrangement of these two components (compression spring) and PTC resistor) within the housing or the housing base is constructively chosen such that the compression spring engages in the region of the center of the PTC resistor at this.

  • the housing base has a pocket-like base contour, which is provided in a housing web running transversely to the contact arm. While the first contact arm carrying the fixed contact is guided longitudinally through this base contour and thus interrupts it in the middle, the compression spring is in the pocket-like base contour with its spring end facing this contact arm and is supported on both sides by the remaining contour half-shells of the base contour.
  • the base contour and thereby the two contour half shells are dimensioned with respect to their dimensions such that the formed for performing the contact, in the longitudinal direction of upper and lower openings in terms of their width in the transverse direction are smaller than the largest diameter of the compression spring.
  • the bimetallic snap-action disc is attached to the second contact arm at an attachment point which is longitudinally aligned with the two contacts (fixed contact and moving contact), the PTC resistor being arranged longitudinally between the attachment point and the contacts.
  • This in turn allows in a simple manner a central system of the PTC resistor to the Bimetallschnappulation.
  • this construction ensures reliable contacting of the PTC resistor via the compression spring with the first contact arm and the bimetallic disc with the second contact arm. When triggered, a current flow thus takes place via the PTC resistor, as a result of which it heats up.
  • a temperature at the bimetallic disc in the amount of about 180 ° Celsius has been found to be necessary.
  • a material is particularly useful for the PTC resistor that ensures a heating of the PTC resistor to a temperature of about 275 ° C as heat loss due to the current flowing through this resistor in the event of tripping current ,
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that by the arrangement of a PTC resistor in immediate contact with a Bimetallschnappulation a miniature circuit breaker with the help of a space-saving compression spring Bimetallschnappulation in triggering experiences sufficient heat input from the PTC resistor, so that a Unintentional snapping back of the bimetallic disc is reliably prevented.
  • the design of the compression spring as a conical spring allows the minimization of the space required for this space by put together in the course of compression their spring coils.
  • the height (block length) of the pressure or conical spring in the compressed state preferably be limited to twice the spring wire diameter by the spring delivere of the largest coil diameter at the base side Spring end of the cone spring is wrapped inwards.
  • the miniature circuit breaker according to the invention can be reliably covered voltage ranges of, for example, 12V electrical system of a motor vehicle from about 11V to about 14.5V. Due to the full-surface and immediate installation of the PTC resistor to the bimetallic disc, caused or supported by the compression spring, it is ensured that at the comparatively low voltages, the energy is sufficient to hold the bimetallic disc in the open position.
  • the miniature circuit breaker according to the invention also ensures that the usually required in the automotive field temperature range of -40 ° C to + 85 ° C is reliably covered.
