- a slider forms the actuation fuse, wherein the slider prevents rotation of the locking bolt in a securing position.
- the slider obscures, for example, the head of the locking bolt, so that a
- Screwdriver can not be used.
- the slider is particularly preferred by an actuator on the plug from an unlocked position in the
- a cover flap on the plug which covers operating elements may advantageously be mechanically connected to the slider such that closing the flap entails an adjustment of the slider to the securing position and an opening of the flap releases the locking bolt again.
- the slider slides in a channel, wherein the channel is formed on a lid of the plug, and wherein the flap is also hinged to the lid pivotally.
- a corresponding transmission converts the pivoting movement of the flap into, for example, a linear movement of the slide.
- the mating connector is arranged on a circuit breaker, wherein the plug is associated with a replaceable additional module.
- Show it 1 shows an embodiment of an arrangement according to the invention in a perspective view in the non-connected state
- Figure 5 shows the embodiment of Figure 1 in the connected and secured state
- Figure 6 shows the locking bolt as a detail
- Figure 7 shows the embodiment of Figure 1 in perspective
- Figures 1 to 5 show a circuit arrangement according to the invention, here with a mating connector 12 to a circuit breaker 2 and a plug 11 to an additional module 1, which is placed on the circuit breaker housing.
- Additional module 1 may, for example, an electronic or mechanical
- Tripping module which on reaching adjustable parameters the
- Circuit breaker 2 brings to turn off.
- a parameter for example, the temperature of a motor to be switched or the current flow through the
- the circuit breaker 2 has a manual control knob 15 ( Figure 4), with which the circuit breaker 2 can be switched on and off when the additional module 1 is connected to the circuit breaker 2 and secured.
- Figure 4 the additional module 1 is shown aligned on the circuit breaker 2, but the
- Plug 11 is still completely separated from the mating connector 12.
- a locking bolt 31 rotatable about an axis 32 is arranged on the plug 11, the locking bolt having a thread 38 and a mating thread 39 being arranged on the mating connector 12.
- the plug 11 has in the illustrated embodiment, an actuation fuse 22, which prevents a connection and / or disconnection of plug 11 and mating connector 12 by the locking bolt 31 is covered by a slider 22.
- the cross-shaped receptacle for a screwdriver in the head 36 ( Figure 2) is not accessible.
- the slider 22 is preferably coupled to a flap 21, which is hinged to a cover 20 of the plug 11 pivotally. Under the flap 21, for example, adjusting elements for switching module 1 are arranged.
- the flap 21 is connected to the slider 22 such that the slider 22 is pushed out when closing the flap 21 from a channel 23, so that the head 36 of the locking bolt 31 is covered.
- FIGS. 2 to 4 show how the circuit breaker 2 is connected to an additional module 1.
- the plug 11 is shown in the same position as in Figure 1, but the flap 21 is open and thus the slider 22 of the actuation fuse withdrawn into the channel 23, so that the head 36 of the locking pin 31 is accessible.
- the additional module 1 is inserted into a receptacle of the circuit breaker 2, while the plug-in process for establishing a connection between the plug 11 and the mating connector 12 is started.
- the insertion forces to overcome the last about two millimeters of insertion are significant.
- the connection of the plug 11 with the mating connector 12 is by screwing in the thread 38 of
- Locking bolt 31 made in the mating thread 39.
- the thread 38 of the locking bolt 31 is engaged, but not yet screwed into the mating thread 39.
- An arrow-like mark on the head 36 is now rotated from the labeled "open” position in the labeled "close” position. After half a turn of the
- Locking bolt 31 the plug 11 comes into contact with the mating connector 12, which is shown in Figure 4.
- the connection of circuit breaker 2 and additional module 1 is made.
- the locking bolt 31 is unscrewed again.
- the plug 11 is shown again connected to the mating connector 12, and in addition to the actuation fuse 22.
- the flap 21 of the slider 22 is pushed out of the channel 23 over the head 36 of the locking bolt 31. This means that the flap 21 can only be closed when the locking bolt is in its intended position is located and not sticking out of the guide 14.
- the locking bolt 31 is then secured by the slider 22 against unscrewing during operation. If the circuit breaker 2 is taken with the flap 21 closed with the knob 15 in operation, the flap 21 is blocked by the knob 15, so that the flap 21 only at
- switched off circuit breaker 2 can be opened again. Before disconnecting the circuit breaker 2 and plug-in module 1, the flap must be opened to retract the slider 22 again in the channel 23 and so release the locking pin 31.
- the locking bolt 31 is shown enlarged.
- the thread 38 is visible with a particularly large pitch.
- the pitch is preferably two to five millimeters, so that half a revolution of the locking bolt 31 causes an axial displacement of the plug of one to two and a half millimeters, which is sufficient to overcome the range of particularly high insertion forces.
- a guide 14 in the form of an at least partially closed groove on the surface of the plug 11 is provided for receiving the locking bolt 31.
- Lock washers 33 are connected to the plug 11 so that they engage in the locking grooves 34 on the locking bolt 31 when it is in the guide 14.
- the locking bolt 31 is fixed along its axis of rotation 32.
- the screwing of the thread 38 into the mating thread 39 therefore leads to no axial movement of the locking bolt 31 relative to the plug 11, but the plug 11 is by the power transmission via the lock washers 33 and the head 36 on the plug 11 and the counter-stop 37 at used the mating connector 12. Conversely, when unscrewing the plug 11 is pulled out of the mating connector 12.
