Definitions

  • the invention relates to a circuit breaker having a vacuum interrupter accommodated in a pole shell, comprising a fixed contact and a moving contact and having an electrically insulating drive rod for initiating a drive movement of a switch drive into the moving contact for opening or closing the contact system of the vacuum interrupter. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for avoiding misalignment of a drive rod of a circuit breaker.
  • a moving contact along a central axis of the vacuum interrupter is moved relative to a fixed contact.
  • a switch drive provides a corresponding drive movement.
  • To initiate the drive movement in the Bewegkon- contact pin of the vacuum interrupter is an electrically insulating trained drive rod which connects the switch drive with the vacuum interrupter. Both during assembly of the switch pole of the circuit breaker, as well as during its operation can lead to misalignment of this drive rod.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a particularly simple and at the same time inexpensive solution for avoiding misalignment of the drive rod.
  • circuit breaker according to claim 1 or by a method according to claim 8.
  • Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. The advantages and embodiments explained below in connection with the circuit breaker also apply mutatis mutandis to the method according to the invention and vice versa.
  • the circuit breaker comprises a vacuum interrupter accommodated in a pole shell with a fixed contact and a moving contact, an electrically insulating drive rod for introducing a drive movement from a switch drive into the moving contact for opening or closing.
  • the method according to the invention for avoiding misalignments of a drive rod of a circuit breaker is characterized in that the drive rod independently aligns itself axially in the pole shell. This self-alignment is done by means of a radially between the drive rod and the pole shell provided guiding and / or centering means which is connected to the drive rod.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to provide a drive rod centering itself in the pole shell.
  • the necessary for the self-alignment constructive means are attached to the drive rod itself.
  • these structural means are attached exclusively to the drive rod itself, so that changes to the pole shell are not required.
  • Lateral movements of the drive rod in the pole shell are prevented by guide rod and / or centering means mounted on the drive rod, which are positioned radially between the drive rod and the pole shell.
  • This is preferably at least one suitable guiding and / or centering element.
  • this element at at least one point along the longitudinal axis of the drive rod to such dimensions that tilting movements of the drive rod in the pole shell substantially excluded, but in any case are reduced to a minimum. In other words, this results in a self-axial alignment of the drive rod in the pole shell or in other words, a self-centering of the drive rod in the pole shell instead.
  • the guide and / or centering element is preferably an annular flange which is adapted in its diameter to a cylindrical shape of the pole shell such that a more or less uniform, minimum annular gap is present when the drive rod is aligned precisely. That tilting movements are reduced to a minimum or a minimum annular gap is present means that an axial longitudinal movement of the drive rod and thus the proper functionality of the drive rod for transmitting a drive movement to the moving contact is not impaired by the guiding and / or centering However, beyond radial play of the drive rod does not exist or is limited as much as possible.
  • the guiding and / or centering element is always adapted to the shape of the pole shell, more precisely to the contour of the inside of the housing of the Wegerpols.
  • the element may also have a polygonal shape to be in a angular cross-section pole shell to prevent tilting of the drive rod.
  • the guiding and / or centering means can be designed as individually manageable construction elements. In one embodiment of the invention, however, the guiding and / or centering means are not only attached to the drive rod, but a component, in particular an integral part of the drive rod. The guiding and / or centering means are then preferably integrally connected to the drive rod, in particular permanently connected to the generally cylindrical base body of the drive rod.
  • the guide and / or centering means need not be provided continuously circumferentially on the drive rod be.
  • the at least one guiding and / or centering element can not abut circumferentially on the inside of the pole shell. In such a case, it may, for. B. be sufficient if the drive rod has a guiding and / or centering element, which has an enlarged diameter only on two opposite sides.
  • the pole shell is not performed circumferentially closed, a circumferential stop or guide surface for the guiding and / or centering so not available. In these latter cases, it is sufficient that at least one guiding and / or centering element according to the structural or functional needs for
  • the drive rod is used not only for the mechanical connection of the vacuum interrupter, more precisely the moving contact of the vacuum interrupter, with the switch drive, but also for the isolation of the switch drive from the contact arrangement.
  • the drive rod may have radially outwardly of the rod body outwardly facing ribs of insulating material to obtain a larger creepage distance.
  • the guide and / or centering element according to the invention can be obtained particularly simply if at least one of these ribs is made larger, in particular such that its outer diameter is only slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pole shell at this point.
  • the guiding and / or centering element can then be manufactured in the simplest manner in the production of the drive rod or the ribs, for example by means of an injection molding process.
  • the guiding and / or centering element is preferably provided at that end of the drive rod or in the region of that end of the drive rod, which faces the vacuum interrupter or the Bewegumblean gleichbolzen the vacuum interrupter, ie at or in the region of the switch drive end facing the drive rod.
  • the constructive design of the Wegerpols is not complicated by the invention, since no additional components are needed.
  • the guiding and / or centering means are designed as part of the drive rod, in particular as an integral part of the drive rod. Due to the fact that the centering element can be molded onto the drive rod or its insulating ribs to be produced anyway from a plastic material, the additional costs are minimal.
