Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary contact device for a switch.
  • circuit breakers For switches, in particular circuit breakers double contact devices with parallel contacts are often used to increase the contact force during a high current flow and thereby avoid contacts lift and there is a break in contact. Furthermore, especially in circuit breakers for high currents long opening distances for the contacts are required, for example, to facilitate the erasure of arcing occurring at the contact opening. However, long contact opening distances often require large switch housings. By a rotating contact device, the space requirement due to a large opening distance can be at least reduced slightly.
  • a switch with a rotary contact device is known for example from the US patent publication US2014 / 0091062A1 known.
  • a rotary contact device having the features of the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in US Pat US 5,945,650 known.
  • the document EP 0 829 890 A1 discloses a rotary contact device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is now to present a more compact rotary contact device for a switch.
  • An embodiment of the invention relates to a rotary contact device for a switch with a contactor housing and a contact housing, a bearing provided in the contactor housing bearing for the contact housing, wherein the contact housing is rotatably mounted in the bearing about an axis of rotation, a contact housing mounted in the bearing and with this rotating contact bridge, each having at its ends a receptacle for a fixed mating contact, wherein the receptacles protrude from corresponding openings of the contact housing so far that they come into engagement with the stationary mating contacts upon rotation of the contact housing and an electrical contact between the stationary mating contacts over the contact bridge arise can, and at least one spring clip, which is arranged between the contact housing and the contact bridge such that the contact bridge in the contact housing in approximately perpendicular to the plane of rotation the contact device is resiliently mounted.
  • the contact housing according to the invention is approximately cylindrical and has on its lateral surface at least partially a gear portion, and the contactor housing has an opening through which the gear portion protrudes, so that the contact housing via a in the Gear portion engaging gear (a non-contact device mechanism) can be placed in a rotational movement to open or close the contacts between the fixed mating contacts and the recordings.
  • the rotating contact device can be made more compact, since the contactor housing may be formed with the bearing for the contact housing approximately cuboid, and the mechanism for rotating the contact housing can on a narrow side of the cuboidal contactor housing may be disposed over the rotating contactor such that the total extent of the rotating contactor with a drive mechanism in the axis of rotation may be substantially smaller as compared to the extent perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
  • the present invention provides in particular by the arrangement of the gear portion of the Outer surface of the cylindrically shaped contact housing the ability to make much more compact rotary contact devices in which a drive mechanism can be arranged above the contact devices, which in addition the extension of the entire assembly in the axis of rotation substantially less precipitates than rotating contact devices with before or after in the rotation axis arranged drive mechanism.
  • the contactor housing may comprise two housing half-shells
  • the bearing may be formed in at least one of the two housing half-shells
  • at least one of the two housing half shells may have the opening for the gear section of the contact housing on a side approximately perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
  • the contact housing may have two almost identically shaped housing shells, each having plug-in connections and a bearing for the contact bridge and the at least one spring clip for mounting the contact housing. As a result, the assembly of the contact device is facilitated.
  • the contact bridge may have an approximately rectangular shaped central part, on the short sides of each a receptacle for a fixed counter-contact is provided.
  • the contact bridge can be made in one piece from sheet metal, for example by punching.
  • the receptacles for the fixed mating contacts can each be designed as claw-shaped mating contact receiving parts and each aligned such that their opposite jaws are located in different planes that are parallel to the plane of rotation of the contact device.
  • Another embodiment of the invention relates to a rotary switch with a rotary contact device according to the invention and as described herein. Further advantages and possible applications of the present invention will become apparent from the following description in conjunction with the embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
  • Fig. 1 shows a rotary switch 12 with two contact terminals 120 and 122 for attachment of leads and a rotary contact device 10 for closing and interrupting an electrical connection of the two contact terminals 120 and 122.
  • the contact device 10 has in its contactor housing 100, which consists of two housing half shells 100a and 100b, an opening 102 in the front housing half-shell 100 a for moving the contact apparatus of the device 10. Through the opening protrudes a gear portion 148 through which a gear (not shown) mechanism of the contact apparatus can be set in a rotational movement to open the contacts of the contactor or close.
  • the front housing half shell 100a has - as in Fig. 1 can be seen - in addition to an opening in which a shaft of the rotatable about a rotation axis 18 contact apparatus can be stored.
  • Fig. 2 shows the internal structure of the contact device 10 of the rotary switch 12: iin the rear housing half shell 100b of the contactor housing 100, a bearing 16 is provided for a contact housing 14 of the rotary contact apparatus of the contact device 10.
  • the approximately cylindrical shaped contact housing 14 is rotatably mounted in the bearing 16 of the housing 100 about the axis of rotation 18.
  • a bearing for the contact housing 14 may be provided in the front housing half shell 100a.
  • the front housing half shell 100a may be at least partially identical to the rear housing half shell 100b.
  • Fig. 3 shows the internal structure of the contact housing 14, the - as in Fig. 5 shown - two in particular identical, made of an electrically insulating plastic housing shells 140 and 142 which can be plugged together via plug connections 144 and 146 to the housing 14. Between the two mated shells 140 and 142, a bearing for an electrically conductive contact bridge 20 is provided, which serves for electrically connecting the two contact terminals 120 and 122. At least one spring clip 30 is disposed between the contact bridge 20 and one of the housing shells 140 and 142, whereby the contact bridge 20 is mounted resiliently approximately perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the contact device 10 and the contact housing 14.
  • the spring clamp is primarily used to compensate for tolerances, such as manufacturing tolerances of the rotating contact device 10 and tolerances by plastic deformation of the rotating contact device 10, which may occur during operation.
  • the contact bridge 20 has, as in Fig. 3 and 4 can be seen, an approximately rectangular shaped center part on the short sides of each a claw-shaped receiving part 22, 24 is provided for the fixed mating contacts 26, 28.
  • the receiving parts 22, 24 are in this case aligned such that their opposite jaws are located in different planes, which are parallel to the plane of rotation of the contact device.
  • the claw-shaped receiving parts 22, 24 are pushed over the respective fixed mating contacts 26, 28 (as in FIG Fig. 4 shown), so that the mating contacts 26, 28 are located between the jaws of the receiving parts 22, 24.
  • the claw-shaped receiving parts 22, 24 are in this case dimensioned and shaped so that it comes with an inserted into them fixed counter-contact 26, 28 to an electrical contact and with the fixed mating contacts 26, 28 electrically connected contact terminals 120, 122 via the contact bridge 20th are electrically connected.
  • the engagement of the fixed mating contacts 26, 28 in the claw-shaped receiving parts 22, 24 is also facilitated by the at least one spring clip 30 and a blade-shaped formation of the fixed mating contacts 26, 28.
