- a compensation of different spring lengths with different tolerances of the components or different lever arms due to a different erosion of the contacts is inventively by a floating mounting of the plates 310, 320, which carry the contact bridge 200 compensated.
- the lateral plates arranged to the contact bridge are connected to each other.
- the contact bridge rotates coaxially around the tube and is inevitably moved during the compensation movement of the inner rotor. Without this coupling, the inevitability and thus the reproducibility of the compensation result are missing. That leads to that In the case of fast closing operations of a circuit breaker, the contact bridge can not join the full compensation movement of the plates, and as a result system-related unbalanced contact forces can occur, eg due to friction.

Abstract
Description
Schaltgeräte zum Schalten elektrischer Ströme umfassen typischerweise mindestens ein Kontaktsystem und weitere Gehäuseumbauten. Das Kontaktsystem bildet einen elektrischen Schalter und dient dem Schalten elektrischer Ströme. Eine Klasse von Schaltgeräten sind die sogenannten "Leistungsschalter", die typischerweise Ströme von 100 A und mehr schalten können. Diese Leistungsschalter umfassen ein Gehäuse, in dem die einzelnen Phasen der Ströme geschaltet werden. Die einzelnen Phasen der Ströme können in Polkassetten untergebracht sein, die von einem eigenen Gehäuse eingefasst werden. In den Polkassetten sind Beweg- und Festkontakte untergebracht, die mechanisch getrennt beziehungsweise zusammengebracht werden können, zum Aus- beziehungsweise Einschalten der Ströme. Beim Trennen von Beweg- und Festkontakt einer Polkassette entsteht ein Lichtbogen, der typischerweise in einer sogenannten "Löschkammer" gelöscht wird. Ebenfalls sind Leistungsschalter bekannt, die keine Polkassetten enthalten und die in ihrem Gehäuse Beweg- und Festkontakte unterbringen.Switching devices for switching electric currents typically comprise at least one contact system and further housing conversions. The contact system forms an electrical switch and serves to switch electrical currents. One class of switching devices are the so-called "power switches," which typically can switch currents of 100A and more. These circuit breakers comprise a housing in which the individual phases of the currents are switched. The individual phases of the currents can be housed in Polkassetten, which are enclosed by its own housing. In the Polkassetten moving and fixed contacts are housed, which can be mechanically separated or brought together, for switching off or turning on the currents. When separating movable and fixed contact of a polar cartridge, an arc is formed, which is typically extinguished in a so-called "quenching chamber". Also, circuit breakers are known which contain no Polkassetten and accommodate moving and fixed contacts in their housing.
In Leistungsschaltern ist zur Erzielung einer guten Strombegrenzung notwendig, eine hohe Bogenspannung schnell aufzubauen. Dies gelingt mit sogenannten "Doppelunterbrechern", die die Schaltstrecke zweimal unterteilen und so im Kurzschlussfall zwei Lichtbögen gleichzeitig erzeugen. Die durch den Lichtbogen erzeugte Bogenspannung ist nun in der gleichen Zeiteinheit doppelt vorhanden, was die Strombegrenzung gegenüber einfach unterbrechenden Systemen verbessert. Typischerweise sind bei sogenannten "Doppelunterbrechern" zwei elektrische Kontakte auf einer drehbar gelagerten Kontaktbrücke angeordnet, die die Bewegkontakte darstellen. Die beiden Bewegkontakte wirken mit zwei Festkontakten des elektrischen Schalters zusammen zum Schließen oder Öffnen des Stromkreises.In circuit breakers, to achieve good current limitation, it is necessary to quickly build up a high arc voltage. This is achieved with so-called "double breakers", which divide the switching path twice and thus produce two arcs simultaneously in the event of a short circuit. The arc voltage generated by the arc is now duplicated in the same unit of time, which improves the current limit over systems that break simply. Typically, in so-called "double breakers" two electrical contacts are arranged on a rotatably mounted contact bridge, which represent the moving contacts. The two moving contacts cooperate with two fixed contacts of the electrical switch to close or open the circuit.

Doppeltunterbrechende Kontaktsysteme mit rotatorischem Aufbau sind sehr häufig anfällig gegen Unsymmetrien. Die Unsymmetrien können begründet sein in der Toleranzlage der Bauteile beziehungsweise im unsymmetrischen Abbrand während des Betriebs. Beispielsweise können die Kontaktstücke der Kontaktbrücke unsymmetrisch abbrennen. Diese Unsymmetrien führen zu ungleichen Kontaktkräften und Kontaktwiderständen an den Kontaktstellen. Bisher bekannte Lösungsmöglichkeiten zur Vermeidung dieser Unsymmetrien sehen eine Ausgleichsmöglichkeit durch die bewegliche Kontaktbrücke als auch durch eine schwimmende Anordnung der Schaltwelle beziehungsweise des Rotors in der Polkassette vor.Double-break contact systems with a rotatory structure are very often prone to asymmetries. The asymmetries may be due to the tolerance of the components or unbalanced consumption during operation. For example, the contact pieces of the contact bridge can burn off asymmetrically. These asymmetries lead to unequal contact forces and contact resistance at the contact points. Previously known solutions to avoid these asymmetries provide a compensation possibility by the movable contact bridge as well as by a floating arrangement of the switching shaft or the rotor in the polar cassette.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Rotor für einen elektrischen Schalter zur Verfügung zu stellen mit einer alternativen Lösung zur Kompensation von Unsymmetrien seiner Kontaktbrücke.It is an object of the invention to provide a rotor for an electrical switch with an alternative solution for the compensation of asymmetries of its contact bridge.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst gemäß Anspruch 1. Der Rotor für einen elektrischen Schalter umfasst ein Rotorgehäuse und eine drehbar gelagerte Kontaktbrücke, welche zwei bewegliche Kontakte umfasst, wobei durch Drehung des Rotors die zwei beweglichen Kontakte mit zwei feststehenden Kontakten eines elektrischen Schalters zusammenwirken können zum Schließen oder Öffnen eines Stromkreises. Die drehbar gelagerte Kontaktbrücke ist im Rotorgehäuse in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Richtung der Kontaktbrücke in ihrer Schließ-Stellung beweglich gelagert. Vorteilhaft hierbei ist, dass die Kontaktkräfte besser als bei herkömmlichen Lösungen ausbalanciert sind, dies auch bei großen Unsymmetrien durch Toleranzen und Abbrand. Es werden unsymmetrische Kontaktwiderstände reduziert, und es wird sichergestellt, dass es zu einem gleichen Abbrand auf der Lastwie auf der Anschlussseite des elektrischen Schalters kommt.The object is achieved according to claim 1. The rotor for an electrical switch comprises a rotor housing and a rotatably mounted contact bridge, which comprises two movable contacts, wherein by rotation of the rotor, the two movable contacts with two fixed contacts of an electrical switch can cooperate to close or Opening a circuit. The rotatably mounted contact bridge is movably mounted in the rotor housing in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the contact bridge in its closed position. The advantage here is that the contact forces are better balanced than in conventional solutions, even with large asymmetries by tolerances and burnup. Unbalanced contact resistances are reduced and it is ensured that the same burnup occurs on the load as on the connection side of the electrical switch.

Ein Führungsstift 800 dient als Drehachse des Rotors 100. Der Führungsstift 800 ist durch das Verbindungsröhrchen 850 geführt. Der Durchmesser des Führungsstifts 800 kann so klein im Vergleich zum Innendurchmesser des Verbindungsröhrchens 850 ausgebildet sein, dass der Führungsstift 800 exzentrisch im Verbindungsröhrchen 850 gelagert werden kann.A

Der erfindungsgemäße Rotor 100 kann Teil eines elektrischen Schalters sein, wobei dieser zusätzlich zwei feststehende Kontakte 2100, 2200 umfasst. Der Rotor 100 mit den zwei beweglichen Kontakten 210, 220 kann mit den zwei feststehenden Kontakten 2100, 2200 zusammenwirken zum Schließen oder Öffnen eines Stromkreises.The
Bisher wird üblicherweise die Kontaktbrücke ortsfest im Rotor gelagert. Ein Ausgleich von unterschiedlichen Federlängen bei unterschiedlichen Toleranzen der Bauteile oder unterschiedlicher Hebelarme auf Grund eines unterschiedlichen Abbrands der Kontakte wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine schwimmende Lagerung der Platten 310, 320, die die Kontaktbrücke 200 tragen, ausgeglichen.So far, the contact bridge is usually stored stationary in the rotor. A compensation of different spring lengths with different tolerances of the components or different lever arms due to a different erosion of the contacts is inventively by a floating mounting of the
Durch Einführung eines Verbindungsröhrchens werden die seitlichen zur Kontaktbrücke angeordneten Platten miteinander verbunden. Damit wird ein stabiler innerer Rotor mit reduzierten Freiheitsgraden geschaffen. Die Kontaktbrücke dreht koaxial um das Röhrchen und wird zwangsläufig bei der Ausgleichsbewegung des Inneren Rotors mitbewegt. Ohne diese Kopplung fehlt die Zwangsläufigkeit und damit die Reproduzierbarkeit des Ausgleichsergebnisses. Das führt dazu, dass bei den schnellen Einschaltvorgängen eines Leistungsschalters, die Kontaktbrücke nicht die volle Ausgleichbewegung der Platten mitmachen kann und es somit systembedingt zu unsymmetrischen Kontaktkräften kommen kann, z.B. auf Grund von Reibung.By inserting a connecting tube, the lateral plates arranged to the contact bridge are connected to each other. This creates a stable inner rotor with reduced degrees of freedom. The contact bridge rotates coaxially around the tube and is inevitably moved during the compensation movement of the inner rotor. Without this coupling, the inevitability and thus the reproducibility of the compensation result are missing. That leads to that In the case of fast closing operations of a circuit breaker, the contact bridge can not join the full compensation movement of the plates, and as a result system-related unbalanced contact forces can occur, eg due to friction.
