Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switching unit for an electrical switching device and an electrical switching device, in particular an electrical circuit breaker.
  • Switching units for electrical switching devices and corresponding electrical switching device are known in principle. They usually have a switching mechanism with a switching lever on. Furthermore, an actuatable switching mechanism is often provided with such a switching mechanism, which is actuated by the shift lever.
  • a lock plate in particular in a plate-like extension, is provided for fastening the switch lock usually. On this lock plate is, for example, via rivets, which can also act as bearings or bearing axles beyond the switch lock attached.
  • switching units In known switching units is disadvantageous that a positioning of the switching mechanism within an electrical switching device, in particular within a housing of the electrical switching device, can only be done consuming or with a long tolerance chain.
  • the switching units In known switching devices, such as circuit breakers, the switching units are arranged in a lower housing part, on which in turn an upper housing part is attached.
  • the switching mechanism in particular the shift lever or the switching mechanism is desired. This is due to the fact that in known switching units by the movement of a shift lever and / or by the movement of the switching mechanism not only one but two or more functionalities can be met.
  • a switching unit according to the invention for an electrical switching device in particular for an electrical circuit breaker, has a switching mechanism.
  • This cam lock has a shift lever and an operable with the shift lever switching mechanism.
  • the switching unit has at least one lock plate.
  • a switching unit according to the invention is characterized in that the at least one lock plate has at least one positioning tab.
  • This positioning tab is designed for positioning the switching unit in a housing of the switching device. In other words, in the case of a switching unit according to the invention, positioning of the switching unit can take place directly via the positioning tab. In contrast to known switching units, which has been positioned indirectly, for example via the external dimensions of the switching unit itself or assembly aids, such as screws or rivets, a direct positioning of the switching unit takes place according to the invention.
  • the positioning is carried out via the positioning tab directly to a component which is of great importance for this positioning.
  • This may be, for example, an upper housing part of the switching device, relative to which, for example, another switching device or a further switch is positioned, which is to be connected to the shift lever as the second functionality.
  • a design according to the invention results in long tolerance chains being avoided in the positioning of the switching unit. This provides the desired accuracy of positioning for the mechanical functionality of primary and secondary switching functionalities.
  • a larger tolerance range can be specified for the production of the individual components, since this tolerance range is formed independently or partially independent of the positioning accuracy of the switching unit in the electrical switching device.
  • the lock plate is preferably plate-like, in particular substantially planar, formed. It may for example be made of metal, preferably of steel. About rivets or other fasteners is on the lock plate attachment of the switching mechanism. These fastening means can also be designed as bearing means, for example as bearing shafts, for further components.
  • the switching mechanism itself has for the shift lever, for example, a plastic component, which is equipped with a handle portion. At this grip portion, the shift lever may preferably be reciprocated between at least two positions. Several positions are in the course of this movement of the shift lever ingestible. The direction of movement can also be referred to as the switching direction of the shift lever.
  • the switching mechanism is used in particular to pass on the movement of the shift lever into the interior of the switching unit or into the interior of the electrical switching device.
  • the switching mechanism may for example have a lever mechanism.
  • the provision of spring elements, in particular coil springs, is conceivable within the scope of the present invention for the switching mechanism.
  • Such a switching unit can be designed for switching over the switching mechanism and for the additional switching as a secondary function of another mechanism.
  • This further mechanism can also be referred to as an accessory component.
  • This accessory component can be installed selectively or basically in an electrical switching device, so that a switching unit according to the invention for the variation with and without additional component is equally functional.
  • Such an additional component can also be operated for example with the shift lever.
  • this shift lever may have a stop surface, which occurs in mechanical interaction with such an additional component, as soon as the shift lever of the switching unit according to the invention is moved in a designated position.
  • a positioning lug is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a geometric design which can be plugged into a corresponding positioning opening.
  • a design of the positioning tab can be achieved for example by a substantially flat, in particular flat, extent.
  • the positioning tab is designed as an extension on the lock plate, with no or only a small difference in the thickness of the rest of the lock plate to the thickness of the positioning tab.
  • the positioning of a switching unit according to the invention takes place in the positioning tab preferably in the switching direction of the shift lever, as has already been defined above.
  • the positioning serves to predetermine a defined position of the lock plate or of the associated switch lock.
  • the switching mechanism is positioned without or with a short tolerance chain, so that when used for a secondary switching functionality of the additional components this improved positioning leads to an improved or a safer switching this additional component.
  • a switching unit according to the invention can be further developed such that in each case a lock plate is arranged on both sides of the switching mechanism.
  • These lock plates both have at least one positioning tab and in particular are arranged parallel to one another or essentially parallel to one another.
  • the provision of at least two lock plates has the advantage that they surround the switch lock from both sides, in particular sandwich-like. Due to the preferably parallel alignment of the side plates, a parallel alignment of the positioning tabs is possible. It is possible in this way that a two-sided positioning, ie on both sides of the switch lock, is performed. Thus, tilting of the switching mechanism after or during positioning can be reduced or avoided.
  • This embodiment forms in particular a multiple or a doubled positioning. In particular, when using a plurality of additional components, that is, a plurality of different secondary switching functionalities of the switching unit, such a double positioning can further increase the positioning accuracy according to the invention.
  • the at least one lock plate and the at least one positioning tab have a substantially planar extent.
  • This planar extension is in particular formed parallel or substantially parallel to the switching direction of the shift lever.
  • the positioning in the switching direction is further simplified.
  • These are in particular a sheet metal bent part and / or a stamped part made of metallic sheet metal.
  • the lock plate and thus also the positioning can be made particularly inexpensive in this way.
  • an embodiment according to the invention of such a lock plate can be produced from a sheet steel by bending and / or punching, that is to say by cost-effective production steps.
  • the positioning tab has at least two stop surfaces and / or stop edges.
  • This stop surfaces and / or stop edges are opposite to each other and aligned in particular in the switching direction of the shift lever.
  • An abutment surface is to be understood as an area which can come into touching contact with a counterpart, for example a wall surface of the switching device, in particular of a housing upper part of the switching device. The same applies to the function of the stop edges, which can be supported against an opposite edge or an opposite surface of the switching device, in particular of the housing.
  • the abutment surfaces can serve to ensure that a displacement in a direction normal to the stop surface or normal to the stop edge, is avoided.
  • the provision of at least two opposing abutment surfaces serves to prevent positioning in a first direction and a second direction, which is in particular the switching direction.
  • the two stop directions are located on an axis or straight lines and aligned opposite to each other.
  • the stop surfaces are the side surfaces or side edges or cut edges of such a positioning tab provided by the thickness dimension of such a positioning tab, which is designed in particular as a sheet metal. This allows a particularly simple and especially a particularly stable positioning, especially in both directions of movement of the switching direction.
  • Another object of the present invention is an electrical switching device, in particular an electrical circuit breaker, such as a molded case circuit breaker, comprising a housing having a housing upper part and a housing lower part.
  • the upper housing part and the lower housing part enclose a housing interior.
  • An inventive electrical switching device is characterized in that a switching unit according to the present invention is arranged in the housing interior.
  • the shift lever of the switching unit protrudes through a switching opening in the upper housing part and is at least accessible from outside the housing and to move along its switching direction.
  • the rest of the switching unit, in particular the switching mechanism are arranged in the housing interior of the switching device.
  • the positioning of the switching unit preferably takes place via the positioning lugs relative to the housing, in particular relative to the housing upper part.
  • An electrical switching device can be further developed in that, in particular, the housing upper part has at least one positioning opening directed into the housing interior.
  • the at least one positioning tab for positioning the switching mechanism is arranged relative to the upper housing part.
  • the positioning tab is inserted or inserted in this positioning opening.
  • the positioning opening is provided in particular on a component which is designed for the attachment of further components, in particular with actuating elements.
  • this insertion direction is transverse to the switching direction, to prevent deposition in an undesirable manner.
  • disassembly or a desired deposition can take place in a cost-effective and, above all, non-destructive manner.
  • the at least one positioning opening has at least two wall surfaces. These two wall surfaces are formed by contact with outer surfaces of the at least one positioning tab, in particular the stop surfaces and / or the stop edges, for the positioning of the switch lock with respect to the switching direction of the shift lever. These wall surfaces can also be referred to as inner surfaces or inner walls of the positioning opening. In abutment with the stop surfaces and / or the stop edges of the switching unit can on this Way a movement prevention of the positioning tab can be achieved. The movement beyond this stop is not possible because such a movement is not possible due to the geometric correlation of these wall surfaces of the positioning opening and the stop surfaces and / or the stop edges of the switching unit.
  • a reference to the switching direction of the shift lever is provided, so that the desired positioning is performed in this direction.
  • the positioning is preferably done with little play.
  • more than two corresponding wall surfaces may be provided, so that in addition to a simple positioning and multiple positioning in more than one positioning can be done.
  • the at least one positioning opening is arranged at least one plastically and / or elastically deformable rib.
  • This rib is designed to reduce the clearance between the positioning tab and the positioning opening in at least one direction during the movement of the positioning tab into the positioning opening.
  • a rib may in particular be a deformation rib or a rib. It can deform or even break off completely. When breaking such a rib, the fragments will become wedged in the space between adjacent surfaces, so that the game is reduced in the desired manner. Also, a deformation is possible, so that preferably in the form of a press fit, the desired positioning between the positioning tab and positioning is performed.
  • it is also conceivable to form a wall of the positioning opening and / or of the positioning tab which can be deformed during the joining operation and thus in particular produces positive locking.
  • At least two positioning openings with a different opening cross-section are arranged in such a way are that they are adapted for a defined installation position of the switching unit specifically to at least two positioning tabs of the switching unit.
  • the two positioning openings differ from each other.
  • the two positioning straps must also differ geometrically from each other.
  • the respective positioning tab is designed specifically for a single positioning opening in such an embodiment. This prevents incorrect assembly, since the components to be joined, in particular the switching unit and the upper housing part, can only be mounted in the orientation predetermined by the positioning openings. This ensures during assembly against a possible incorrect assembly, so that an inventive electrical switching device can be further improved.
  • a corresponding special shaping of the positioning tab can be achieved.
  • a further advantage is when, in an electrical switching device according to the invention, the insertion direction of all positioning openings and positioning tabs is identical or substantially identical. This also facilitates assembly, since even with the use of a plurality of positioning tabs a single insertion direction is given. This allows the insertion of the switching unit in the corresponding component of the switching device, in particular in the upper housing part with a single movement.
  • the insertion direction of all positioning openings and positioning tabs is transverse to the switching direction of the shift lever.
  • This orientation transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the switching direction leads to the advantage that an undesirable deposition of the switching unit can be avoided.
  • during the movement of the shift lever along the shift direction is thus a safe and effective positioning or securing and also power removal from the movement of the shift lever Guaranteed and maintained over appropriate areas of the switching unit.
  • the Fig. 1a and 1b show an embodiment of an inventive electrical switching device 100.
  • This electrical switching device 100 is in Fig. 1a in closed and in Fig. 1b shown in the open state.
  • the electrical switching device 100 has a housing 110, which consists of a housing lower part 114 and an upper housing part 112.
  • a switching opening 118 is provided, through which a switching lever 22 protrudes.
  • the shift lever 22 are operated to switch an underlying switching mechanism 24.
  • Fig. 1b is a housing cover of the housing 110, in particular the housing upper part 112, away.
  • an additional component 140 has been arranged, which also has an actuating element 142, as for example the Fig. 2 can be seen.
  • the additional component 140 can be arranged, for example, subsequently, and is in particular screwed to the housing upper part 112 of the housing 110.
  • Fig. 1b to recognize the housing interior 116, in which the switching unit 10 is arranged.
  • the shift lever 22 is shown after removing a housing cover of the housing 110.
  • This additional component 140 is, as already explained, relatively fixed on the upper housing part 112 and thus positioned relative to this upper housing part 112.
  • a positioning lug 32 is provided on a lock plate 30 of the shift unit 10.
  • Such a lock plate 30 with Such a positioning tab 32 is, for example, in FIG Fig. 3 shown.
  • a further lock plate 30 is provided with a further identically designed positioning tab 32.
  • the Fig. 3 shows a schematic section showing the inserted position of the positioning tab 32 in a positioning opening 130 of the housing upper part 112.
  • the switching unit 10 inserted from below into the housing upper part 112, so that the shift lever 22 protrudes through the switching opening 118.
  • the positioning tab 32 or the majority of the positioning tabs 32 is inserted into corresponding positioning openings 130.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of a positioning tab 32 of a lock plate 30.
  • the insertion direction E is shown with an arrow and is located substantially transverse to the switching direction S.
  • the positioning tab 32 is inserted.
  • the insertion can be done, for example, as in the embodiment of the Fig. 5 is shown.
  • the positioning tab 32 is still outside the positioning opening 130.
  • stop surfaces 34 are provided which can come into abutment with wall surfaces 132 of the positioning opening 130.
  • deformable ribs 134 are provided, which are deformed or broken off during insertion along the insertion direction E by the positioning tab 32.
  • the clearance between the abutment surfaces 34 and the wall surfaces 132 of the positioning hole 130 is reduced or completely avoided, so preferably there is a fit.
  • stop surfaces 34 for the positioning tab and stop edges 36 can be effective. These preferably engage with corresponding edges between wall surfaces 132 of the positioning opening 130, so that, in this case too, preferably a positioning takes place transversely to the switching direction S.
