Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a temperature-dependent switch, which has a temperature-dependent switching mechanism and a housing receiving the switching mechanism, which comprises an upper part with a first outer terminal and a lower part with a second outer terminal, wherein on an inner side of the upper part in communication with the first outer terminal first contact surface and inside in the lower part provided with the second outer terminal second contact surface are provided, wherein the switching mechanism comprises a snap disc on which at least one outer contact region and at least one inner contact region are provided, wherein held on the inner contact portion a movable contact part is, which cooperates with the first contact surface, wherein the at least one outer contact region is permanently connected at least in one portion with the second contact surface, and wherein the snap disc, the movable contact part depending on the temperature of the derailleur from the first contact surface lifts.
  • Such a switch is from the DE 10 2011 119 637 A1 known.
  • the known switch has a pot-like lower part, which is closed by a lower part cross-top part.
  • a temperature-dependent switching mechanism is arranged, which carries a movable contact part, which cooperates with a stationary counter-contact, which is arranged on an inner side of the upper part and forms a first contact surface.
  • the derailleur comprises a spring snap-action disc, which carries the movable contact part and presses against the stationary counter contact.
  • the spring snap disc is supported with its edge on the inner bottom of the lower part, which forms the second contact surface. In this position, the two contact surfaces are thus electrically conductively connected to one another via the movable contact part and the spring snap-action disc.
  • the external connections are made via the electrically conductive cover part, which is electrically conductively connected to the stationary mating contact, and the likewise electrically conductive lower part, on the inner bottom of which the spring snap-action disk is supported.
  • a bimetallic snap-action disc is arranged, which rests loosely in the rear derailleur in its low-temperature position.
  • the temperature of the bimetallic snap disk rises to a value above its response temperature, it presses with its center the movable contact part away from the stationary mating contact, for which it bears with its edge against an insulating film provided between the lower part and the upper part.
  • the spring snap-action disc jumps from its one to its other stable geometric configuration.
  • the snap-action disc is a spring snap-action disc against which a bimetal snap-action disc operates
  • the snap-action disc is a spring snap-action disc against which a bimetal snap-action disc operates
  • the snap-action disc is in the case of the DE 10 2011 119 637 A1 known switch also provided to use only a bimetallic snap disk, so that the current flows directly through the bimetallic snap disk, which closed at-nem Switch also causes the contact pressure between the movable contact part and the stationary mating contact.
  • the snap disc is at the out of the DE 10 2011 119 637 A1 Known switch, for example, a circular disc having an inner contact region on which the movable contact member is welded.
  • the inner contact area is separated by a semicircular gap of the snap disk, which extends over an angle of more than 180 °.
  • a connecting web is formed, which serves together with the rest of the edge as a second contact area.
  • This connecting bridge is used for better handling of the rear derailleur during its installation and when inserting into the lower part.
  • the tie bar is then welded flat to the inner bottom of the base to provide a permanent electrical and mechanical connection between the snap disc and the second contact surface inside the base.
  • the second contact region is thus permanently connected in the region of the connecting web and, in the region of the edge, with the switch closed, with the second contact surface.
  • This construction offers the advantage that the material and manufacturing costs for the known temperature-dependent switch are lower than other switches, because as a lower part no rotary member is required, and because can be dispensed with the silvering both the snap disc and the lower part.
  • temperature-dependent switches of the type mentioned above are provided with snap discs, loose with their edge, so freely movable resting on the inner bottom of the base or an inner circumferential shoulder in the lower part, so that the entire edge forms the outer contact area.
  • Such switches are for example from the DE 43 45 350 A1 known.
  • the snap disc When jumping from one to the other geometric configuration, the snap disc stretches until its edge is lifted from the bottom of the base or the peripheral edge.
  • the spring-snap disc is at the out of the DE 43 45 350 A1 supported switch on a circumferential shoulder, it can move when snapping with its center through the shoulder and its resting on the shoulder edge "through” on the lower ground to move, so snap through the edge, while at the same time mechanically radially outstretched, which allows snapping without overcoming external mechanical counter forces.
  • the known temperature-dependent switches are used to protect an electrical device from excessive temperature.
  • the supply current for the device to be protected is passed through the temperature-dependent switch, wherein the switch is thermally coupled to the device to be protected.
  • the respective switching mechanism At a specified by the transition temperature of the bimetallic snap disc response temperature the respective switching mechanism then opens the circuit by the movable contact part is lifted from the stationary counter contact.
  • the switch does not close again after cooling the device, it is also known parallel to the temperature-dependent switching mechanism to provide a self-holding resistor, preferably a PTC resistor which is electrically short-circuited by the latter when the temperature-dependent switching mechanism.
  • a self-holding resistor preferably a PTC resistor which is electrically short-circuited by the latter when the temperature-dependent switching mechanism.
  • the self-holding resistor takes over a portion of the current flowing so far and heats up enough to generate enough heat to keep the bimetal snap-action disc at a temperature above the response temperature. This process is called latching, it prevents a temperature-dependent switch closes uncontrollably again when the device to be protected cools down again.
  • switches While self-heating of the snap-action disk by the flowing current is often undesirable in such temperature-dependent switches, switches are also known in which a series resistor is additionally provided, which heats up in a defined manner by the flowing current of the device to be protected. If the current flow is too high, this series resistance heats up to such an extent that the transition temperature of the bimetallic snap disk is reached. In addition to monitoring the temperature of the device to be protected, the flowing current can be monitored in this way, the switch then has a defined current dependence.
  • switches have proven sufficiently in everyday use. If the switches do not open at the zero crossing of an AC supply voltage or DC applied, arcs and sparks form during lifting of the movable contact part of the stationary counter contact and / or lifting the edge of the power snap disc of the second contact surface.
  • contact erosion In addition to the contact erosion on the stationary counter contact and the movable contact part, contact erosion also occurs at the edge of the snap disks, which carry the movable contact part and produce the electrical connection to the second contact surface with its edge as outer contact region. In the course of the switching cycles, this also leads to an increase in the contact resistance due to damage to the edge of the snap-action disks.
  • the DE 977 187 A suggests, therefore, in a temperature-dependent switching mechanism, which has only a bimetallic snap disk to relieve them from the current flow, that the movable contact part is connected via a sun-wheeled metal spider to the housing of the switch. In this way, the current no longer flows only through the bimetallic snap disk but mainly through the metal spider.
  • a similar approach chooses the AT 256 225 A in which on the remote from the stationary mating contact surface of the bimetallic snap disk, a copper lead is provided, which connects the movable contact part with the housing.
  • the copper lead and the metal spider do not contribute to the mechanical function of the switch, on the contrary they must be moved by the bimetallic snap disk when opening and closing the switch, so they represent an additional mechanical load for them. This leads to fatigue and concomitantly not only to an undesirable shift in the switching temperature but also to a deteriorated opening and closing behavior, which greatly limits the life.
  • the present invention has the object to increase in a structurally simple way the life and / or the switching capacity of the known temperature-dependent switch.
  • this object is achieved, on the one hand, by the fact that the or each outer contact region rests permanently on the second contact surface.
  • the or each permanently on the second contact surface resting outer contact area is understood in the invention that all the areas of the snap-action disc, which are used for the electrical connection to the second contact surface, permanently rest on this, so for example by pressing , Gluing or welding are connected to it, and which do not stand out when opening the switch from the second contact surface.
  • the snap disk is equipped with a plurality of connecting webs, which are distributed along its circumference and each welded to the bottom of the lower part.
  • the connecting webs of which, for example, three are arranged offset by 120 °, then make the only electrical and mechanical connection between the snap disk and the second contact surface ago.
  • the remaining edge of the snap-action disc is without mechanical and electrical contact.
  • the snap disc is symmetrically fixed to the second contact surface, so that it mechanically shows a uniform switching behavior.
  • the snap disc must overcome external forces when snapping.
  • each outer contact area is also welded, glued or clamped itself. It is only important that each outer contact area rests permanently on the second contact surface. This can be achieved, for example, if six circumferentially equally distributed connecting webs are provided, of which only every second one is connected to the second contact surface. The other connecting webs are thus permanently pressed firmly on the second contact surface, so remain connected to her even when the switch opens.
  • the contact erosion on the edge of snap-action discs leads, according to the inventors of the present application, to the fact that the maximum switching power and the achievable switching cycle number are more limited than by the contact erosion on the stationary counter-contact and the movable contact part.
  • Simply by improving the contact erosion at the edge of the current-carrying snap discs can thus be unexpectedly increase the life of a temperature-dependent switch.
  • the snap disk has at least one compensation section between the at least one or each outer contact region and the at least one or each inner contact region.
  • Snap discs of the type used here are slightly curved discs with slightly raised towards the edge center.
  • the domes are generally round, circular, oval or similarly rounded.
  • Bimetal domes have a high temperature position in which they are convex in one view while appearing concave in the same view when in their low temperature position.
  • spring snap disks have two mechanically stable geometric positions or configurations which, depending on the view, appear as convex or concave.
  • Snaps snap from their one configuration to the other by moving their center, as it were, through the edge, which tends to make a radial evasive movement.
  • edge When the edge is firmly clamped, snapping over is done by internal deformation while overcoming internal forces. These internal deformations and the resulting internal forces lead to mechanical stress and aging of the snap discs, which limits the life of the switches equipped with it.
  • a "compensating section" of the snap-action disc is thus understood to mean an area which is, so to speak, designed to be yielding or resilient in the radial direction.
  • a compensating portion of the snap-action disc permits radial evasion or expansion movement within the snap-action disc, although the outer contact portion can not move or move radially outwardly relative to the second contact surface.
  • This property of a compensation section results from its structure, ie its geometry and / or connection with the snap-action disk, the outer and / or the inner contact region.
  • a compensation section can therefore also be referred to as an expansion structure.
  • the outer contact region may be formed, for example, as an outer ring, which is connected via a plurality of webs with the central region of the snap disk, which is followed radially inwardly by the inner contact region.
  • the outer contact area is clamped onto the second contact surface. If the inner contact area of the snap-action disk, which carries the movable contact part, now snaps together with the middle area, then the webs deform temporarily by performing an evasive movement and / or being resiliently compressed. So they make a compensatory movement, which relieves the central area of the snap disc of the mechanical stress and thus slows down the aging processes.
  • a comparable compensation structure may alternatively or additionally also be provided between the inner contact region and the central region of the snap-action disc.
  • the structurally simple measure of the compensation sections ensures that the snap disk does not have to overcome any external forces when snapped over, because the snap disk makes a compensating movement in the radial direction between the outer contact area and the inner contact area, because the compensation section is designed to be resilient, for example.
  • the snap-action disc can thus expand radially internally when the switch is opened and closed, without having to overcome external forces.
  • the bimetallic snap disk as with the switches from the DE 977 187 A or the AT 256 225 A Assigning a current-carrying connection, which connects the movable contact part with the second contact surface, the contact erosion is indeed reduced, but the bimetallic snap disk is mechanically overloaded because it must move the copper lead or metal spider with.
  • the advantage of the compensating sections results, in particular, in connection with snap-action disks which are mechanically fixed at their edge at least to the extent that they are symmetrically and permanently connected both mechanically and electrically to the second contact surface so that no contact erosion can take place at the edge.
  • the snap-action disc itself may be the bimetallic snap-action disc, it is preferred if the snap-action disc is a spring-loaded snap-action disc associated with a bimetallic snap-action disc held on the movable contact member.
  • the advantage here is that the bimetallic snap disk neither has to exert the mechanical closing pressure nor conducts the operating current of the device to be protected.
  • bimetallic snap disk is held captive with play on the contact part.
  • the rear derailleur can be mounted and stored as a separate Halbfertigteil, with a separate examination of the rear derailleur is possible because the bimetallic snap disk is held captive, but has corresponding lots so that it can deform unhindered between its low temperature position and high temperature position.
  • the bimetallic snap disk can be easily mounted and fixed on the movable contact part without the bimetallic snap disk being exposed to mechanical stresses in its centric region.
  • the bimetallic snap disk is arranged between the spring snap disk and the first contact surface.
  • the bimetallic disc is, so to speak, above the spring snap-action disc, so that there is space below the spring snap-action disc to connect the or each outer contact region to the second contact surface.
  • the bimetallic snap disk is arranged on the side facing away from the first contact surface side of the spring snap disk.
  • the bimetallic disc is, so to speak, below the spring snap-action disc, so that the spring snap-action disc is above the bimetallic snap disk and shields them from flying sparks, when opening the switch between the stationary mating contact and the movable contact part can arise.
  • this protective function of the spring snap-action disc has a particularly good effect when the spring snap-action disc is permanently connected to the second contact surface at the outer contact region.
  • each outer contact region is permanently connected by clamping with the second contact surface, wherein preferably the movable contact part is clamped to the at least one inner contact region.
  • the or each compensation section is resilient in the radial direction, preferably the or each outer and / or inner contact area is formed on a radially extending web, which is preferably connected exclusively via a compensation section with a central region of the snap disk.
  • the advantage here is that the compensatory movements when snapped through the structure can be predetermined in a structurally simple manner, for example, by the compensating section being formed as a high-arched section between the outer or inner contact region and the central region of the snap-action disc.
  • the outer and / or inner contact region is formed as a self-contained ring, which is connected via a compensation portion with a central region of the snap-action disc, wherein the compensation portion at least one outer, circumferentially extending gap and at least one inner, in the circumferential direction extending gap, wherein the two gaps partially overlap in the circumferential direction, and preferably the two gaps are connected by an inwardly extending gap with each other, more preferably at least three outer and three inner column are provided.
