Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch lock, in particular for low-voltage protection devices with a knee joint, which comprises a handle and a first U-bracket attached thereto, wherein in the handle a spring element is arranged and wherein the first U-bracket is mechanically in operative connection with a pawl, which mechanically operatively connected to a shift lever via a second U-bracket, as well as a protective device.
  • the protective device When the protective device is switched on, at least one switch-off spring is preloaded in the switch lock.
  • the protective device is designed so that current monitoring groups such as bimetal triggers, continuously measure the flow of current in a branch line. If the current flow exceeds a defined threshold value, the opening spring, which is pre-tensioned in the switch lock, is unlatched. The unlatched spring force is transmitted to the main contacts via the switch lock mechanism, which are then opened. As a result, the flow of current is interrupted.
  • current monitoring groups such as bimetal triggers
  • a low-voltage protection device In practical use, a low-voltage protection device has a rather passive task, that is, it is switched on once after installation in a control cabinet and remains in this state until a system failure occurs. But since a system failure occurs very rarely, it is common that the switching mechanism in the low-voltage protection device is not operated for decades. There is therefore the risk that components in the switch lock will fail unnoticed due to aging and the protective device will no longer function. In particular, the biased opening springs constitute a potential hazard. For example, hydrogen embrittled feathers in new condition show no abnormalities, but tend, with appropriate bias to break after months.
  • circuit breakers in safety-related controls as a redundant switching element to a contactor in order to achieve a higher safety integrity level.
  • a circuit is on a contactor on and off.
  • the contactor is monitored by a safety evaluation device. If a switch-off fails, the circuit-breaker is triggered or switched off via an undervoltage release. Since a circuit breaker usually has to be switched on manually, an automatic monitoring of the circuit breaker is very expensive. For this reason, such circuits are only interesting in applications that require a low switching frequency operationally.
  • the WO 2004/073008 A1 describes a switch lock with a knee joint, which comprises a handle with a first attached thereto U-bracket 1, wherein in the handle a spring element is arranged and wherein the first U-Büge1 mechanically in operative connection with a pawl, which via a second U-büge1 mechanically in operative connection with a shift lever.
  • the DE 197 03 959 C1 describes a switching mechanism of a switching device with rotary drive.
  • the switch lock has a counter-wheel, which forms a knee joint in conjunction with a U-bracket1.
  • the knee joint is in a backdrop in one Circuit board led.
  • Other attached to the circuit board components of the switch latch are a latch lever, a pawl, a lever, a switch-off spring and a lock.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a switch lock, in particular for low-voltage protection devices and a corresponding protection device, which works reliably and minimizes the risk of unrecognized material defects.
  • a switch lock in particular for low-voltage protective devices with a knee joint, which comprises a handle and a first U-bracket attached thereto, wherein in the handle a spring element is arranged and wherein the first U-bracket mechanically in operative connection with a pawl is, which is mechanically connected via a second U-bracket with a shift lever.
  • the invention is characterized in that the spring element in the handle is designed such that the knee joint remains stretched under load with a plurality of opening springs, but moves under load with only one opening spring in the off position.
  • the invention also includes a protective device with a switch lock according to the invention.
  • the switching mechanism according to the invention has a knee joint, which comprises a handle, which is preferably designed as a toothed rocker, and a first U-bracket, wherein in the handle a spring element, preferably a torsion spring, is arranged.
  • the U-bracket has two legs, which are arranged on the one hand in the handle and the other in a pawl.
  • a second U-bracket is arranged, which connects the pawl mechanically with the shift lever. This switching mechanism is arranged between two circuit boards.
  • the switching mechanism according to the invention a plurality, in particular at least two Ausschaltfedern on.
  • the first opening spring is preferably designed as a torsion spring, with two ends, wherein the one end is attached to the shift lever and the other end to a first extension of a circuit board.
  • the second opening spring is preferably designed as a tension spring and also has two ends, wherein the one end is attached to a second extension of a circuit board and the other end to the shift lever.
  • a stop is provided in the housing.
  • the force “F” comes from a prestressed opening spring, which is tensioned during the switch-on process, and whose force is transmitted via several mechanical parts to the upper U-bar.
  • the torque “Ma” acts clockwise in the switched position on the shift lever.
  • the feature essential to the invention is that at least two opening springs are provided in the switching mechanism with knee joint. These may be, for example, a tension spring and a torsion spring.
  • F F mainspring + F torsion spring respectively
  • F F 1 + F 2
  • F tension spring corresponds to the force acting on the upper, first U-bracket, which originates from a tension spring located somewhere in the transmission.
  • F torsion corresponds to the force acting on the upper, former U-bracket, which originates from a torsion spring located somewhere in the transmission.
  • Each individual opening spring is dimensioned in terms of power so that it can open the main contacts alone a small piece.
  • the opening travel which can be achieved by a switch-off spring, is so great that at rated voltage, a current flow through the main contacts comes to a standstill.
  • the effect of the return spring in the toothed rocker (“Mdf") is so dimensioned so that the knee joint remains stretched when loaded with two Ausschaltfedern, but is moved when loaded with only one opening spring in the off position counterclockwise.
  • the invention is characterized in that the effect of the return spring in the handle, so in the toothed rocker is dimensioned so that the knee joint under load with two opening springs remains stretched, but is moved under load with only one opening spring in the off position.
