Definitions
- the invention relates to a switching unit, in particular a circuit breaker, with a contact slide unit, which has a contact slide and a fixed and a movable contact piece, and a short-circuit release, which acts via a plunger in the event of a short circuit on the movable contact piece.
- Switching units serve, among other things, the safe switching off in the event of a short circuit and thus protect consumers and systems. Furthermore, electrical or mechanical switching units are suitable for the operational, manual switching of consumers and for the safe separation of a system from the power network during maintenance or changes to the system. Electrical switching units are often operated electromagnetically.
- switching units are high-quality electrical switching devices with integrated protection for motors, lines, transformers and generators. They are used at workstations with a lower switching frequency. Such switching units are suitable in addition to the short circuit protection for overload protection.
- Known switching units have a contact slide unit with a contact slide and a movable contact piece.
- the movable contact piece also has electrical contacts.
- switching units have first contacts to a power line.
- the electrical contacts of the movable contact piece contact the fixed contacts of the switching unit.
- the electrical contacts of the movable contact piece are released from the fixed contacts, so that the flow of current is interrupted.
- the movable contact is released from the fixed contacts.
- short-circuit shutdowns in a switching unit it may come to the rotation of the movable contact piece about its longitudinal axis after releasing the movable contact piece.
- the movable contact piece rotates about its longitudinal axis, this is also referred to as a bridge rotator. That is, the movable contact piece then returns after the rotation is no longer in its original position, but remains in the rotated position.
- Known contact slides of switching units often have two guide systems, an inner and an outer guide system.
- the outer guide system is used when the switching operation, that is, the switching on or off, via a switching mechanism of the switching unit. This does not create a bridge twister.
- the inner guide system is used in the short-firing case when the switching operation via a switching armature, often a plunger, the switching unit takes place. That is, when switching off due to a short circuit, the movable contact piece along the inner guide system leads the contact slide ahead, bounces on impact surfaces in the so-called lower part of the switching unit and flies back along the inner guide system. In this case, it flies against the switching armature or the plunger of the switching unit. It may happen that the movable contact piece and the plunger meet outside their center lines, so that this can lead to a rotation of the movable contact piece about its longitudinal axis.
- Another problem is that in the event of a short circuit, the circuit breaker does not interrupt the short circuit current fast enough. In this case, three contact-opening mechanisms act staggered over time.
- the short-term temporary contact opening due to a current flow occurs on the one hand via current loop forces at the contact point between fixed and movable contact pieces and on the other hand via an electromagnetically driven pin by the short-circuit release.
- the permanent contact opening is made via a mechanical linkage chain to be unlatched in conjunction with a shift lever.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a switching unit which reliably ensures the timing of the contact-opening mechanisms even at high short-circuit currents.
- this object is achieved by a switching unit, in particular a circuit breaker, with a contact slide unit, which has a contact slide and a fixed and a movable contact piece, and a short-circuit release, which acts on the movable contact piece via a plunger in the event of a short circuit.
- the invention is characterized in that the switching unit has a movable braking device, which is designed such that in case of short circuit, the movable braking device dampens the movement of the rebounded, movable contact piece.
- the invention makes use of the physical principle of energy exchange in the collision of two bodies. If two bodies bang together, their velocities change analogously to their mass ratios. The contact piece rebounding from the housing coincides with a mass. The speed of the contact is significantly slowed down and thus the time to reach the fixed contact points extended. This time delay is sufficient for the switch lock to be able to travel the way to a permanent minimum contact opening width.
- the movable contact piece is guided on a guide element, wherein the movable brake device is arranged above the movable contact piece and at the upper end of the guide element.
- the guide element is preferably designed as a guide pin and has a region of greater mass. The center of mass is above the moving contact. The mass is moved to the current dynamic lifting of the contact piece by the plunger of the short-circuit release in the return trajectory of the contact piece. The thus resulting inevitable collision with the located on the return path switching piece leads to the desired time delay.
- the advantage of this embodiment is that the assembly is easy to accomplish and also a guiding function of the bridge is realized against rotation.
- a further movable braking device is arranged in addition to the lower end of the guide element.
- a second mass is positioned in addition to the first mass below the movable contact piece. Both masses are connected together to form a double mass, preferably by an opening breakthrough in the switching bridge. They are also arranged axially displaceable in the direction of the contact opening. In current-dynamic contact bridge opening, the switching bridge against the contact load spring in its opening movement first against the bottom mass arranged, accelerates this and is thereby slowed down.
- Bridge and double mass fly up to the possibly different housing stops and rebound from there.
- the housing stop of the double mass further away from the point of contact than the contact bridge. This means that the bridge is already back on the way back and again collides with the still flying double mass, giving more kinetic energy, so that the bridge is slowed down further.
- the preloaded contact load spring moves both parts again in the direction of contact.
- the movable brake device is arranged on the plunger of the short-circuit release. This embodiment is characterized by a very simple installation.
- the switching unit according to the invention has a contact slide unit with a contact slide and a fixed and a movable contact piece, which are arranged opposite to each other.
- a plunger of a short-circuit release is arranged above the contact slide unit.
- a tubular extension is formed, which is either integrally connected to the plunger or is formed as a separate part on the plunger. This tubular extension corresponds in this embodiment of the mass that forms the braking device.
- the movable contact piece has an opening in which the guide element is positioned.
- the guide element preferably has, above the movable contact piece, a mass-formed braking device.
- a further additional mass can be arranged as a braking device below the movable contact piece on the guide element.
- the invention is characterized in that by positioning at least one additional mass, which serves as a braking device, an energy exchange is caused by the impact of two bodies, which leads to the speed reduction of the movable contact piece.
- the additional masses for the braking device according to the invention are arranged at least in two embodiments on the guide element, which guides the movable contact piece.
- the guide element has a double function. On the one hand, it serves as a braking device to reduce the speed of the movable, rebound contact piece in the event of triggering.
- the guide element guides the movable contact piece so that rotations of the contact piece due to a high momentum of movement are reliably avoided.

- the guide element 12 is formed above and below the movable contact piece 3 respectively at the end regions with a mass that characterizes the braking device according to the invention of the second embodiment in the form of a double mass 11.

- the plunger 5 meets the double mass 11 of the guide member 12, whereby the guide member 12 moves back into the guide of the housing 9 and thereby separates the movable contact piece 3 from the fixed contact piece 2.
- Fig. 7 shows the embodiment according to the FIGS. 5 and 6 in case of short circuit, wherein the movements of the movable contact piece 3 is limited on the one hand by the housing stop and the other by the double mass 11 below the movable contact piece 3.
- Fig. 8 shows the second embodiment according to the Fig. 5 to 7 during the bridge reflection of the movable contact piece 3 on the brake device according to the invention, which is in the form of a double mass 11 on the guide element 12.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schalteinheit, insbesondere einen Leistungsschalter, mit einer Kontaktschiebereinheit, die einen Kontaktschieber sowie ein festes und ein bewegliches Schaltstück aufweist, und einem Kurzschlussauslöser, der über einen Stößel im Kurzschlussfall auf das bewegliche Schaltstück wirkt.The invention relates to a switching unit, in particular a circuit breaker, with a contact slide unit, which has a contact slide and a fixed and a movable contact piece, and a short-circuit release, which acts via a plunger in the event of a short circuit on the movable contact piece.
Schalteinheiten, insbesondere Leistungsschalter, dienen unter Anderem dem sicheren Abschalten bei einem Kurzschluss und schützen dadurch Verbraucher und Anlagen. Ferner eignen sich elektrische oder mechanische Schalteinheiten für das betriebsmäßige, manuelle Schalten von Verbrauchern sowie zur sicheren Trennung einer Anlage vom Stromnetz bei Wartungsarbeiten oder Änderungen an der Anlage. Elektrische Schalteinheiten werden häufig elektromagnetisch betrieben.Switching units, in particular circuit breakers, serve, among other things, the safe switching off in the event of a short circuit and thus protect consumers and systems. Furthermore, electrical or mechanical switching units are suitable for the operational, manual switching of consumers and for the safe separation of a system from the power network during maintenance or changes to the system. Electrical switching units are often operated electromagnetically.
Das heißt, derartige Schalteinheiten sind technisch hochwertige elektrische Schaltgeräte mit integriertem Schutz für Motoren, Leitungen, Transformatoren und Generatoren. Ihren Einsatz finden sie an Funktionsstellen mit geringerer Schalthäufigkeit. Derartige Schalteinheiten sind neben dem Kurzschlussschutz auch für den Überlastschutz geeignet.That is, such switching units are high-quality electrical switching devices with integrated protection for motors, lines, transformers and generators. They are used at workstations with a lower switching frequency. Such switching units are suitable in addition to the short circuit protection for overload protection.
Im Fall eines Kurzschlusses schaltet eine elektrische Schalteinheit eine elektrische Anlage sicher ab. Somit bietet diese einen Sicherungsschutz vor Überlastung. Jeder Leiter, durch den Strom fließt, erwärmt sich mehr oder weniger stark. Die Erwärmung hängt dabei vom Verhältnis der Stromstärke zum Stromleiterquerschnitt ab, der sogenannten Stromdichte. Die Stromdichte darf nicht zu groß werden, da sonst durch zu hohe Erwärmung die Leiterisolationen verschmoren oder möglicherweise ein Brand ausgelöst werden kann. Um elektrische Anlagen gegen diese schädigenden Auswirkungen zu schützen, werden Schalteinheiten als Überstrom-Schutzeinrichtung verwendet. Leistungsschalter weisen zwei voneinander getrennt wirkende Auslösemechanismen für den Überlast- und Kurzschlussschutz auf. Beide Auslöser sind in Reihe geschaltet. Den Schutz beim Kurzschluss übernimmt ein zeitlich nahezu unverzögert wirkender elektromagnetischer Auslöser. Bei einem Kurzschluss entklinkt der elektromagnetische Auslöser unverzögert ein Schaltschloss des Leistungsschalters. Ein Schaltanker trennt das Schaltstück, ehe der Kurzschlussstrom seinen Höchstwert erreichen kann.In the case of a short circuit, an electrical switching unit switches off an electrical system safely. Thus, this provides a protection against overload. Every conductor through which electricity flows heats up more or less. The heating depends on the ratio of the current to the conductor cross section, the so-called current density. The current density must not be too large, otherwise the conductor insulations may be spattered or possibly cause a fire due to excessive heating. To protect electrical equipment against these damaging effects, switching units are used as overcurrent protective devices. Circuit breakers have two separate release mechanisms for overload and short-circuit protection. Both triggers are connected in series. Short-circuit protection is provided by an electromagnetic release that acts almost instantaneously. In the event of a short circuit, the electromagnetic release unlocks without delay a circuit breaker of the circuit breaker. A switching armature disconnects the contactor before the short-circuit current can reach its maximum value.
Bekannte Schalteinheiten weisen eine Kontaktschiebereinheit mit einem Kontaktschieber und einem beweglichen Schaltstück auf. Das bewegliche Schaltstück weist ferner elektrische Kontakte auf. Ferner weisen derartige Schalteinheiten erste Kontakte zu einer Stromleitung auf. In einem eingeschalteten Zustand kontaktieren die elektrischen Kontakte des beweglichen Schaltstückes die festen Kontakte der Schalteinheit. Im Kurzschlussfall werden die elektrischen Kontakte des beweglichen Schaltstückes von den festen Kontakten gelöst, so dass der Stromfluss unterbrochen wird. Hierbei wird das bewegliche Schaltstück von den festen Kontakten gelöst. Durch Kurzschlussabschaltungen in einer Schalteinheit kann es jedoch nach dem Lösen des beweglichen Schaltstückes zur Drehung des beweglichen Schaltstückes um seine Längsachse kommen. Wenn sich das bewegliche Schaltstück um seine Längsachse dreht, wird dies auch als Brückendreher bezeichnet. Das heißt, das bewegliche Schaltstück kehrt dann nach der Drehung nicht mehr in seine Ausgangslage zurück, sondern verharrt in der gedrehten Stellung.Known switching units have a contact slide unit with a contact slide and a movable contact piece. The movable contact piece also has electrical contacts. Furthermore, such switching units have first contacts to a power line. In an on state, the electrical contacts of the movable contact piece contact the fixed contacts of the switching unit. In the event of a short circuit, the electrical contacts of the movable contact piece are released from the fixed contacts, so that the flow of current is interrupted. Here, the movable contact is released from the fixed contacts. By short-circuit shutdowns in a switching unit, however, it may come to the rotation of the movable contact piece about its longitudinal axis after releasing the movable contact piece. When the movable contact piece rotates about its longitudinal axis, this is also referred to as a bridge rotator. That is, the movable contact piece then returns after the rotation is no longer in its original position, but remains in the rotated position.
Bekannte Kontaktschieber von Schalteinheiten weisen häufig zwei Führungssysteme, ein inneres und ein äußeres Führungssystem auf. Das äußere Führungssystem kommt dann zum Einsatz, wenn der Schaltvorgang, das heißt, das Ein- oder Ausschalten, über ein Schaltschloss der Schalteinheit erfolgt. Hierbei entsteht kein Brückendreher. Das innere Führungssystem kommt im Kurzschussfall zum Einsatz, wenn der Schaltvorgang über einen Schaltanker, häufig ein Stößel, der Schalteinheit erfolgt. Das heißt, beim Abschalten auf Grund eines Kurzschlusses eilt das bewegliche Schaltstück entlang des inneren Führungssystems dem Kontaktschieber voraus, prallt an Aufschlagflächen im so genannten Unterteil der Schalteinheit ab und fliegt wieder entlang dem inneren Führungssystem zurück. Hierbei fliegt es dem Schaltanker beziehungsweise dem Stößel der Schalteinheit entgegen. Dabei kann es passieren, dass sich das bewegliche Schaltstück und der Stößel außerhalb ihrer Mittellinien treffen, so dass dies zu einem Verdrehen des beweglichen Schaltstückes um seine Längsachse führen kann.Known contact slides of switching units often have two guide systems, an inner and an outer guide system. The outer guide system is used when the switching operation, that is, the switching on or off, via a switching mechanism of the switching unit. This does not create a bridge twister. The inner guide system is used in the short-firing case when the switching operation via a switching armature, often a plunger, the switching unit takes place. That is, when switching off due to a short circuit, the movable contact piece along the inner guide system leads the contact slide ahead, bounces on impact surfaces in the so-called lower part of the switching unit and flies back along the inner guide system. In this case, it flies against the switching armature or the plunger of the switching unit. It may happen that the movable contact piece and the plunger meet outside their center lines, so that this can lead to a rotation of the movable contact piece about its longitudinal axis.
Wenn das bewegliche Schaltstück im gedrehten Zustand verharrt, treffen bei einem nächsten Einschalten der Schalteinheit nicht mehr die Kontakte, insbesondere Silberkontakte des beweglichen Schaltstücks und die festen Kontakte der Schalteinheit aufeinander, so dass es zu Ausfallerscheinungen kommt. Das heißt, ein in einer verdrehten Position verharrendes Schaltstück ist nachteilig, da die Schalteinheit dann nicht mehr einsatzfähig ist. Ein nicht funktionierendes Schaltstück und eine nicht funktionierende Schalteinheit sind nachteilig für die elektrischen Verbraucher und die Anlage, in der die Schalteinheit eingebaut ist.When the movable contact piece remains in the rotated state, no longer hit the contacts, in particular silver contacts of the movable contact piece and the fixed contacts of the switching unit to each other when switching on the next switching unit, so that there are deficiencies. In other words, a switching piece that remains in a twisted position is disadvantageous because the switching unit is then no longer operational. A non-functioning switching piece and a non-functioning switching unit are detrimental to the electrical loads and the system in which the switching unit is installed.
Ein weiteres Problem besteht darin, dass bei einem Kurzschlussfall der Leistungsschalter den Kurzschlussstrom nicht schnell genug unterbricht. Dabei wirken zeitlich gestaffelt drei Kontakt öffnende Mechanismen. Die kurzzeitige vorübergehende Kontaktöffnung auf Grund eines Stromflusses erfolgt zum Einen über Stromschleifenkräfte an der Kontaktstelle zwischen festen und beweglichen Schaltstücken und zum Anderen über einen vom Kurzschlussauslöser elektromagnetisch angetriebenen Stift. Die dauerhafte Kontaktöffnung erfolgt über eine zu entklinkende Mechanikkinematikkette in Verbindung mit einem Schalthebel.Another problem is that in the event of a short circuit, the circuit breaker does not interrupt the short circuit current fast enough. In this case, three contact-opening mechanisms act staggered over time. The short-term temporary contact opening due to a current flow occurs on the one hand via current loop forces at the contact point between fixed and movable contact pieces and on the other hand via an electromagnetically driven pin by the short-circuit release. The permanent contact opening is made via a mechanical linkage chain to be unlatched in conjunction with a shift lever.
Problematisch ist es nun, wenn so hohe Kurzschlussströme auftreten, dass der zeitliche Ablauf der Kontakt öffnenden Mechanismen nicht mehr funktioniert. Die dann vorliegenden sehr großen Stromschleifenkräfte führen zu einer derart hohen Beschleunigung des beweglichen Schaltstücks, dass es so schnell vom Anschlag des Gehäuses zurück reflektiert wird, dass der Kontakt wieder geschlossen wird, bevor das Schaltschloss über den Schalthebel dauerhaft geöffnet gehalten werden kann. Die Folge davon kann die Zerstörung des Gerätes sein.The problem now is when such high short-circuit currents occur that the timing of the contact-opening mechanisms no longer works. The then very present large current grinding forces lead to such a high acceleration of the movable contact piece that it is reflected back so quickly from the stop of the housing that the contact is closed again before the switch lock can be kept permanently open via the lever. The consequence of this can be the destruction of the device.
Demgemäß besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine Schalteinheit zu schaffen, welche auch bei hohen Kurzschlussströmen den zeitlichen Ablauf der Kontakt öffnenden Mechanismen zuverlässig gewährleistet.Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a switching unit which reliably ensures the timing of the contact-opening mechanisms even at high short-circuit currents.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Schalteinheit, insbesondere einen Leistungsschalter, mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, der Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnung.This object is achieved by a switching unit, in particular a circuit breaker, with the features of
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Schalteinheit, insbesondere einen Leistungsschalter gelöst, mit einer Kontaktschiebereinheit, die einen Kontaktschieber sowie ein festes und ein bewegliches Schaltstück aufweist, und einem Kurzschlussauslöser, der über einen Stößel im Kurzschlussfall auf das bewegliche Schaltstück wirkt.According to the invention this object is achieved by a switching unit, in particular a circuit breaker, with a contact slide unit, which has a contact slide and a fixed and a movable contact piece, and a short-circuit release, which acts on the movable contact piece via a plunger in the event of a short circuit.
Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dabei dadurch aus, dass die Schalteinheit eine bewegbare Bremsvorrichtung aufweist, die derart ausgebildet ist, dass im Kurzschlussfall die bewegbare Bremsvorrichtung die Bewegung des rückgeprallten, beweglichen Schaltstückes dämpft.The invention is characterized in that the switching unit has a movable braking device, which is designed such that in case of short circuit, the movable braking device dampens the movement of the rebounded, movable contact piece.
Die Erfindung macht sich dabei das physikalische Prinzip des Energieaustausches beim Stoß zweier Körper zu Nutze. Prallen zwei Körper aneinander, verändern sich deren Geschwindigkeiten analog ihrer Massenverhältnisse. Das vom Gehäuse rückgeprallte Schaltstück trifft mit einer Masse zusammen. Dabei wird die Geschwindigkeit des Schaltstücks deutlich verlangsamt und somit die Zeit bis zum Erreichen der festen Kontaktstellen verlängert. Diese Zeitverzögerung ist für das Schaltschloss ausreichend, um den Weg bis zu einer dauerhaften Mindestkontaktöffnungsweite zurücklegen zu können.The invention makes use of the physical principle of energy exchange in the collision of two bodies. If two bodies bang together, their velocities change analogously to their mass ratios. The contact piece rebounding from the housing coincides with a mass. The speed of the contact is significantly slowed down and thus the time to reach the fixed contact points extended. This time delay is sufficient for the switch lock to be able to travel the way to a permanent minimum contact opening width.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann es vorgesehen sein, dass das bewegliche Schaltstück auf einem Führungselement geführt ist, wobei die bewegbare Bremsvorrichtung oberhalb vom beweglichen Schaltstück und am oberen Ende des Führungselementes angeordnet ist. Erfindungsgemäß ist das Führungselement vorzugsweise als Führungsstift ausgebildet und weist einen Bereich größerer Masse auf. Der Massenschwerpunkt liegt oberhalb des beweglichen Schaltstücks. Die Masse wird nach dem stromdynamischen Abheben des Schaltstückes durch den Stößel des Kurzschlussauslösers in die Rückflugbahn des Schaltstückes verschoben. Der sich somit ergebende zwangsläufige Zusammenstoß mit dem auf dem Rückflugweg befindlichen Schaltstück führt zur gewünschten Zeitverzögerung. Der Vorteil dieser Ausführungsform besteht darin, dass die Montage einfach zu bewerkstelligen ist und zudem eine Führungsfunktion der Brücke gegen Verdrehung realisiert ist.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the movable contact piece is guided on a guide element, wherein the movable brake device is arranged above the movable contact piece and at the upper end of the guide element. According to the invention, the guide element is preferably designed as a guide pin and has a region of greater mass. The center of mass is above the moving contact. The mass is moved to the current dynamic lifting of the contact piece by the plunger of the short-circuit release in the return trajectory of the contact piece. The thus resulting inevitable collision with the located on the return path switching piece leads to the desired time delay. The advantage of this embodiment is that the assembly is easy to accomplish and also a guiding function of the bridge is realized against rotation.
In einer Weiterführung des obigen Ausführungsbeispiels kann es vorgesehen sein, dass zusätzlich am unteren Ende des Führungselements eine weitere bewegbare Bremsvorrichtung angeordnet ist. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist zusätzlich zur ersten Masse unterhalb des beweglichen Schaltstücks eine zweite Masse positioniert. Beide Massen sind miteinander zu einer Doppelmasse verbunden, vorzugsweise durch einen in der Schaltbrücke befindlichen Öffnungsdurchbruch. Sie sind außerdem in Richtung Kontaktöffnung axial verschiebbar angeordnet. Bei stromdynamischer Kontaktbrückenöffnung schlägt die Schaltbrücke entgegen der Kontaktlastfeder in ihrer Öffnungsbewegung zunächst gegen die unten angeordnete Masse, beschleunigt diese und wird dabei selbst verlangsamt.In a continuation of the above embodiment, it can be provided that in addition to the lower end of the guide element, a further movable braking device is arranged. In this embodiment, a second mass is positioned in addition to the first mass below the movable contact piece. Both masses are connected together to form a double mass, preferably by an opening breakthrough in the switching bridge. They are also arranged axially displaceable in the direction of the contact opening. In current-dynamic contact bridge opening, the switching bridge against the contact load spring in its opening movement first against the bottom mass arranged, accelerates this and is thereby slowed down.
Brücke und Doppelmasse fliegen bis zu den gegebenenfalls unterschiedlichen Gehäuseanschlägen und prallen von dort zurück. Vorteilhafter Weise ist der Gehäuseanschlag der Doppelmasse weiter vom Kontaktpunkt entfernt als der der Kontaktbrücke. Dies führt dazu, dass die Brücke bereits wieder auf dem Rückweg ist und abermals mit der noch hinfliegenden Doppelmasse zusammenstößt, wobei sie weitere Bewegungsenergie abgibt, so dass die Brücke weiter verlangsamt wird. Die vorgespannte Kontaktlastfeder bewegt beide Teile wieder Richtung Kontakt. Der Vorteil dieser Ausführungsform besteht zum Einen in der enormen Geschwindigkeitsdämpfung und zum Anderen in der Führungsfunktion der Brücke, die vor Verdrehung schützt.Bridge and double mass fly up to the possibly different housing stops and rebound from there. Advantageously, the housing stop of the double mass further away from the point of contact than the contact bridge. This means that the bridge is already back on the way back and again collides with the still flying double mass, giving more kinetic energy, so that the bridge is slowed down further. The preloaded contact load spring moves both parts again in the direction of contact. The advantage of this embodiment is on the one hand in the enormous speed damping and on the other hand in the guiding function of the bridge, which protects against rotation.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die bewegbare Bremsvorrichtung am Stößel des Kurzschlussauslösers angeordnet ist. Dieses Ausführungsbeispiel zeichnet sich durch eine sehr einfache Montage aus.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the movable brake device is arranged on the plunger of the short-circuit release. This embodiment is characterized by a very simple installation.
Die erfindungsgemäße Schalteinheit weist eine Kontaktschiebereinheit auf mit einem Kontaktschieber sowie einem festen und einem beweglichen Schaltstück, die zueinander gegenüber liegend angeordnet sind. Oberhalb der Kontaktschiebereinheit ist ein Stößel eines Kurzschlussauslösers angeordnet. In einem vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass am Stößel an dem Ende, welches dem Kontaktschieber zugewandt ist, ein rohrartiger Fortsatz angeformt ist, der entweder einteilig mit dem Stößel verbunden ist oder als separates Teil am Stößel angeformt ist. Dieser rohrartige Fortsatz entspricht in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel der Masse, die die Bremsvorrichtung bildet.The switching unit according to the invention has a contact slide unit with a contact slide and a fixed and a movable contact piece, which are arranged opposite to each other. Above the contact slide unit, a plunger of a short-circuit release is arranged. In an advantageous embodiment it can be provided that on the plunger at the end, which faces the contact slide, a tubular extension is formed, which is either integrally connected to the plunger or is formed as a separate part on the plunger. This tubular extension corresponds in this embodiment of the mass that forms the braking device.
Das bewegliche Schaltstück weist einen Durchbruch auf, in welchem das Führungselement positioniert ist. Das Führungselement weist vorzugsweise oberhalb des beweglichen Schaltstücks eine als Masse ausgebildete Bremsvorrichtung auf. Vorzugsweise kann auch unterhalb des beweglichen Schaltstücks am Führungselement eine weitere zusätzliche Masse als Bremsvorrichtung angeordnet sein. Im Auslösefall wandert der Stößel des Kurzschlussauslösers in Richtung des beweglichen Schaltstücks.The movable contact piece has an opening in which the guide element is positioned. The guide element preferably has, above the movable contact piece, a mass-formed braking device. Preferably, a further additional mass can be arranged as a braking device below the movable contact piece on the guide element. When triggered, the plunger of the short-circuit release moves in the direction of the movable contact.
Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass durch Positionierung zumindest einer zusätzlichen Masse, die als Bremsvorrichtung dient, ein Energieaustausch durch den Stoß zweier Körper hervorgerufen wird, der zur Geschwindigkeitsreduzierung des beweglichen Schaltstücks führt. Die zusätzlichen Massen für die erfindungsgemäße Bremsvorrichtung sind zumindest in zwei Ausführungsbeispielen am Führungselement angeordnet, welches das bewegliche Schaltstück führt. Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung kommt dem Führungselement eine Doppelfunktion zu. Zum Einen dient es als Bremsvorrichtung, um die Geschwindigkeit des beweglichen, rückgeprallten Schaltstückes im Auslösefall zu reduzieren. Zum Anderen führt das Führungselement das bewegliche Schaltstück, so dass Drehungen des Schaltstücks in Folge eines hohen Bewegungsimpulses zuverlässig vermieden werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Schalteinheit ermöglicht somit auch zuverlässig bei hohen Kurzschlussströmen den zeitlichen Ablauf der Kontakt öffnenden Mechanismen.The invention is characterized in that by positioning at least one additional mass, which serves as a braking device, an energy exchange is caused by the impact of two bodies, which leads to the speed reduction of the movable contact piece. The additional masses for the braking device according to the invention are arranged at least in two embodiments on the guide element, which guides the movable contact piece. As a result of this embodiment according to the invention, the guide element has a double function. On the one hand, it serves as a braking device to reduce the speed of the movable, rebound contact piece in the event of triggering. On the other hand, the guide element guides the movable contact piece so that rotations of the contact piece due to a high momentum of movement are reliably avoided. The switching unit according to the invention thus also allows reliable at high short-circuit currents, the timing of the contact-opening mechanisms.
