Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switching device for switching on and off of a current through a current path, with at least one fixed contact and at least one moving contact, wherein the moving contact for closing and separating the current path relative to the fixed contact is movable with a drive for operationally moving a jumper between a Closed position and an open position, wherein the moving contact in the closed position with the fixed contact closes the current path, and with a quick release for disconnecting the current path in the event of a short circuit or overload.
  • Such switching devices with corresponding, usually electromagnetic drives are used for example in motor starters. These should be suitable for the operational switching of a load, switching off an overload and switching off in the event of a short circuit.
  • two separate switching devices namely a motor protection switch can be used as a circuit breaker and a contactor as a load switch to achieve this functionality.
  • motor starters are known in which the switching and protective function is integrated in a switching device. As a rule, they have a hand-operated, mechanical switch lock.
  • WO 2014/023326 A1 is a switching device or a drive for a switching device for a compact and remotely controllable motor starter described with the operational switching of the load, switching off the overload and the switching off of short circuits with only one device to be realized.
  • the problem with switching off short circuits is the need to open the closed contacts very quickly and permanently, so that a safe extinguishing of the arc is ensured, and a re-ignition of the arc and welding of the contacts can be avoided.
  • the drive has for this purpose a bipolar electromagnetic drive unit with a movable armature and two stationary magnetic coils for reversible movement of the armature between two permanent magnetically stabilized anchor layers, wherein by selective Excitation of the first magnetic coil, a moving contact is movable into the closed position and by selective energization of the second magnetic coil of the moving contact within a permissible for a short circuit in the current path Maximalabschaltzeit in the open position is movable.
  • Electromagnetic actuators that are used for switching on and off have the disadvantage that they have a comparatively large, moving mass, which is necessary for the switch-on. Due to the inertia, however, such a drive has a correspondingly long turn-off time. The switch-off times that can be achieved in this way may be too long to safely switch off a short circuit.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a switching device for turning on and off a current through a current path with a quick release for disconnecting the current path, with which the switching off of an overload and the switching off of short circuits, regardless of a turn-off time of the drive for operational switching, fast and safe feasible and which allows a compact, space-saving design.
  • the switching device for switching on and off a current through a current path has at least one fixed contact and at least one moving contact, wherein the moving contact for closing and separating the current path relative to the fixed contact is movable.
  • a contact system may have a single contact pair. It is preferably carried out in a double-interrupting manner, wherein two moving contacts are connected in particular via a moving contact carrier in order to be movable relative to two fixed contacts of the current path.
  • the terms moving contact and fixed contact will be used without going into the possibility of an embodiment with a double-break contact system, since this is familiar to the person skilled in the art.
  • a moving contact carrier with two moving contacts is covered by the term moving contact.
  • the switching device further comprises a drive for operationally moving a switching bridge between a closed position and an open position, the moving contact in the closed position with the fixed contact closes the current path, so that the drive is also generally referred to as a drive for operational switching of the switching device.
  • the switching device according to the invention on a quick release for disconnecting the current path in the event of a short circuit or overload.
  • Both the drive for operational switching of the switching device, as well as the drive of the quick release are preferably electromagnetic drives.
  • the moving contact is movably guided along the switching bridge between a first stop and a second stop and is rigidly coupled to an armature of the quick release.
  • An advantage of the switching device according to the invention is that the moving contact movably guided along the switching bridge can be separated from the fixed contact in the closed position of the switching bridge in the event of a short circuit by the quick release.
  • the person skilled in the art knows that, in the event of a short circuit, the lifting of the moving contacts is generally initially caused by the electrodynamic lifting forces and the quick release preferably prevents the moving contacts from falling back and further removes them from the fixed contacts. This exploitation of the known electrodynamic lift-off forces when switching off short-circuit currents is not necessarily described here in connection with the triggering of the quick release.
  • the rigid coupling between the quick release and the moving contact ensures, moreover, advantageous for accelerated release of the quick release, as an air gap in the quick release is so already reduced due to the electrodynamic lift. Furthermore, the rigid coupling allows resetting the permanently open after a trip moving contact with a simultaneously advantageously space-saving design and / or arrangement of the quick release and / or the drive for operational switching.
  • the armature of the Quick release is biased by means of an impression spring, so that the moving contact is biased by the impression spring in the direction of the first stop of the switching bridge.
  • the impression spring of the armature simultaneously acts as a contact pressure spring of the moving contact. In the closed position of the switching bridge of biased in the direction of the first stop moving contact with the fixed contact closes the current path, so that the impression spring of the armature acts simultaneously as a contact pressure spring of the moving contact. A separate contact pressure spring is thereby advantageously saved.
  • the first lifting of the moving contacts is generally caused by the electrodynamic lifting forces before the quick release prevents the moving contact from falling back and moving it further in the direction of the second stop.
  • a holding device to be provided on the switching bridge in order to hold the moving contact, which is separated by the quick release, against the second stop.
  • the holding device preferably has a permanent magnetic system to keep the moving contact after triggering the quick release with a magnetic force against a spring force of the impression spring on the second stop, wherein an amount of magnetic force is greater than an amount of spring force. Since the moving contact is brought by the quick release in direct contact with the second stop, the magnetic force of the holding device can advantageously act without air gap on the moving contact.
  • the at least one moving contact is arranged on a moving contact carrier made of a magnetically conductive material, in particular attached thereto.
  • the moving contact carrier consists of a clad material with a first layer of a copper material and a second layer of a ferrous material.
  • resetting of the moving contact takes place after a triggering of the quick release by a switch-off operation of the drive for the operational movement of the switching bridge. This saves a separate mechanism for resetting the quick release after a trip.
  • a counter-stop preferably limits the range of movement of the moving contact in a switch-off of the drive, the moving contact reaches the counter-attack only after a previous triggering of the quick release, so after disconnecting the current path through the quick release.
  • the counter stop does not affect the movement of the moving contact.
  • Particularly preferred forms a core of the quick release with the anchor counter-attack. The movement of the moving contact is thus limited in particular by the fixed contact on the one hand and, after triggering the quick release, by the counter-stop on the other hand to a range of motion.
  • the open position of the switching bridge is achieved due to the counter-attack only after previous release of the moving contact of the holding device.
  • a greater resultant force than the holding force of the holding device is necessary.
  • This resulting force is composed of a force of the contact pressure spring and a force of the drive for operationally moving the switching bridge together.
  • the force of the drive to operate the switching bridge is usually provided by an impression spring.
  • FIG. 1 is a simplified schematic representation of the switching device according to the invention with an exemplary structure shown.

  • the moving contacts 14, 15 are arranged at opposite ends of the moving contact carrier 16, which in turn is movably guided along the switching bridge 17 between a first stop 18 and a second stop 19.
  • the moving contacts 14, 15 are biased by a contact pressure spring 5 against the first stop 18, which will be discussed in more detail later in connection with the description of the quick release 2.
  • the electromagnetic drive 1 is activated and moves the switching bridge 17 in its closed position, which in the FIG. 3A is shown.
