Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switching device having a device for sudden switching with an actuating mechanism which has an actuating element and is operatively connected via a transmission mechanism with a switch lock, which operates a shift lever via a further transmission mechanism, and with a contact arrangement comprising a fixed contact piece with contacts has, which is opposite lying to a movable contact piece with contacts, which is guided in a contact slide.
  • 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.
  • 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. 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.
  • circuit breakers In addition to their protective functions as overload and short-circuit releases, as already mentioned above, circuit breakers also fulfill the normative switching on and off of motors. To prove this function, the circuit-breakers must be able to switch on ten times the rated motor current according to the product standard. In order to be able to guarantee this limit load, it is necessary for the circuit breaker to close the double interruption of the three current paths in the form of a movable bridge with two contact points and two fixed contact points, almost simultaneously and in a step function.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a switching device with a device for sudden switching, which avoids a contact lift with possible contact welding.
  • a switching device with a device for sudden switching, which has an actuating mechanism which has an actuating element and is operatively connected via a transmission mechanism with a switch lock, which operates a shift lever via a further transmission mechanism, and has a contact arrangement which a fixed contact having contacts, which is arranged opposite to a movable contact with contacts, which in a Contact slide is guided.
  • the invention is characterized in that the means for sudden switching has a blocking element which holds the contact arrangement of movable and fixed contact pieces in an open-holding position via the shift lever and cancels the blockage of the shift lever at a quick turn on, so that the contacts of the movable Contactor abruptly land on the contacts of the fixed contact piece.
  • a finger-shaped lever holds the three contact devices of fixed and movable contact pieces directly by an additional part, according to the invention here by a blocking element in the open position, wherein the blocking element of a Heidelberghebelbetuschistsstelle extends toward the actuator.
  • this blocking element is preferably a cylindrical or rectangular, rod-shaped blocking pin, which holds the shift lever in the open position and is supported on a bearing in the housing corresponding counter bearing.
  • the concept may be provided that the blocking element is formed between a shift lever operating point at which the blocking element acts on the shift lever, and an abutment.
  • This arrangement of the blocking element also allows a training between short-circuit release and switching mechanism, so that in this embodiment, the space between the short-circuit release and switching mechanism is optimally used.
  • the abutment is spring-loaded.
  • this spring-loaded counter bearing is pivoted away, as a result of which the blocking element slides in a recess of the counter bearing and the blockage of the shift lever is released.
  • the acting contact load springs can push the movable contact suddenly in the on position.
  • the counter bearing is designed such that it can be pivoted away during a quick turn-on.
  • the blocking element according to the invention slides in a recess of the thrust bearing, whereby the blockage of the shift lever is released. This leads to the further course that the acting contact load springs press the movable contact suddenly in the on position.
  • the counter-bearing is formed in direct operative connection to the actuating element of the actuating mechanism. This results in the shortest possible contact flux chain, whereby the life of the entire power transmission chain is extended through the switching mechanism. Moreover, due to the short tolerance chain on the blocking element results in a relatively accurately predictable Kunststoffoffenhaltenote separate from which the movable contact piece is thrown in the on position. This short contact lightening range reduces the risk of harmful contact bouncers.
  • the blocking element is cylindrical or rod-shaped with a rectangular cross-section.
  • the switching device is preferably a circuit breaker.
  • the invention is characterized in that a direct operative connection between the shift lever, counter bearing part and releasing device control unit is produced by using a blocking element.
  • the blocking element is for this purpose passed directly next to the short-circuit release coil of the current release, preferably in the middle device pole chamber and in the simplest form as an elongated cylindrical Standard part pronounced.
  • This advantageous embodiment means that a short tolerance chain is present, so that there is a precisely adjustable hold-open distance. It is also a stable part design with little Eigenbeschbmaschineen possible.
  • the passage of the blocking element according to the invention in the middle pole chamber also allows an approximately central support of the shift lever between its bearings. This results in the same hold open distances of all three device pole contact devices. This is particularly favorable for a simultaneous on-circuit.
  • the invention may further consist of the concept that the release of the quick turn on a short rotational movement of the device control panel, thereby the release switching point can be placed very close to the on position, so that the switch lock is released far enough when released.
  • the point of application of the blocking element is located on the shift lever near the force acting center line of the contact slide.
  • the advantage consists in the fact that due to the favorable leverage ratios, the supporting blocking parts is loaded only with approximately the sum of the three contact loads, without significant additional force components of the power transmission. Consequently, there is a significantly lower wear of the slip edges of the blocking parts.
  • Fig. 1 shows a switching device according to the invention with a device for sudden switching in the off position.
  • the switching device according to the invention has an actuating mechanism which includes an actuating element 1 and is operatively connected via a transmission mechanism with a switching mechanism 2, which operates a shift lever 3 via a further transmission mechanism.

  • the contact arrangement of fixed contact 4 and movable contact piece 6 from each other spaced, that is, the contacts 5 and 7 are not closed.
  • a blocking element 11 preferably arranged in the form of a blocking pin.
  • the blocking element 11 has a shift lever actuation point 12 with the shift lever 11 and abuts at its other end to an abutment 13, which is preferably spring-loaded.
  • the blocking element 11 according to the invention is thus arranged between switching mechanism 2 and short-circuit release 9 and makes optimum use of the space available there.
  • the abutment 13 is preferably a Z-shaped stamped sheet metal part with two end portions 14, 15.
  • the end portion 14 of the abutment 13 is disposed in the region of the blocking element 11 and has a recess 16, preferably in the form of a through bore into which the blocking element 11 slip can when the switching device is brought into a quick turn on.
  • a spring element 17 is arranged below the end region 15 of the abutment 13.
  • a guide web 18 is formed in the direction of blocking element, which is fastened to a fixing piece 19 which surrounds the blocking element 11.
  • this guide bar 18 the pivotal movement of the anvil is possible.
  • the Fig. 3 and 5 show the switching device according to the invention with a device for sudden switching in the open-holding position.
  • the movable contact 6 moves with the contacts 7 a piece on the fixed contact 4 with the contacts 5, without causing a contact closure.
  • the actuating element 1 forms an angle of preferably 80 ° with the axis of actuating element 1, short-circuit release 9 and contact slide 8.
