Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch lock for an electrical switch and an electrical switch with such a switch lock.
  • the maximum stored energy is used in this invention to operate the switch mechanism.
  • a switch lock for a circuit breaker with a switching gate, two toggle levers which are connected via a toggle lever axis, a helical lock spring and a release lever for controlling the tipping point and thus controlling the release of the switching shaft.
  • the ZA 9 901 853 B discloses a circuit breaker with separable fixed and movable contact, one movable Contact carrier assembly comprising a movable contact arm to which the movable contact is attached adjacent a first end, and means for pivotably supporting the movable contact arm adjacent a second end. Further disclosed is an actuation mechanism which is operatively connected to the movable contact carrier assembly to move the movable contact carrier assembly between a closed position in which the separable contacts are closed to conduct current and an open position in which the separable contacts are open. to interrupt electricity, to turn.
  • An operating handle is provided for operating the operating mechanism and for setting the movable contact carrier assembly in the closed position and the open position.
  • a releasable retainer is used to hold the movable contact arm when the movable contact carrier assembly is in the open position and to release the movable contact arm when the operating handle reaches the closed position.
  • a circuit breaker with a crank for connecting a switching mechanism to the contact pole structure is presented.
  • the crank has a pair of cam surfaces that cooperate with a locking lever to limit movement of the operating handle when the circuit breaker contacts are welded.
  • the locking lever is arranged so that it does not interfere with the handle under normal operating conditions.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a switch lock for an electrical switch which uses as much stored energy as possible to actuate the switch shaft.
  • the switch lock for an electrical switch comprises a spring, a latching mechanism and an actuating element with which a switching shaft of the electrical switch is actuated to open (OFF position) or close (ON position) the electric current, wherein when closing the electric current, the actuating element is actuated in the direction of the ON position and thereby the spring is tensioned and when the ON position is reached, the latching mechanism releases the energy of the spring to actuate the switching shaft of the electrical switch.
  • the advantage here is that the maximum energy content of the spring is used.
  • the latching deflects the spring to the maximum and transfers the maximum energy to the selector shaft.
  • the energy of the spring is already released at approx. 70%. It is not only the energy of the spring that is used advantageously, but also the larger lever arm from the sliding axis to the spring axis, whereby a significantly higher torque is applied to the selector shaft. It is also advantageous that there are no friction-related fluctuations at the switchover point of the mechanism.
  • the switching point is also independent of the operating speed of the operating element. Due to the locking mechanism, the release is not determined by an equilibrium of forces that is impaired by external influences. It is also advantageous that the switch lock can be implemented in a small installation space.
  • the actuating element is designed as a rocker arm or as a rotary lever.
  • the latching mechanism is activated by touching the actuating element.
  • the electrical switch according to claim 4 which comprises a switch lock according to the invention and a switch shaft, the switch shaft being actuatable by the energy of the spring.
  • the latching mechanism releases the energy of the spring to actuate the switching shaft of the electrical switch and the switching shaft brings at least one moving contact into mechanical contact with a fixed contact.
  • the electrical switch is designed as a power switch.
  • the electrical switch 500 comprises a switching shaft 510 which is connected to electrical contacts.
  • these can be moving contacts 521, 521 ⁇ and fixed contacts 522, 522 ⁇ .
  • the electrical contacts 521, 521 '; 522, 522 ' open or close the electrical switch 500.
  • the switch lock 100 further comprises an actuating element 130.
  • This can be a rocker arm 130, for example. It is also conceivable that the actuating element 130 is designed as a rotary lever.
  • the switch lock 100 further comprises a spring 110 and a latching mechanism 120.
  • the sequence of how the actuating element 130 actuates the switching shaft 510 of the electrical switch 500 to open (OFF position) or close (ON position) the electrical current is described below further set out.
  • the spring 110 When the electrical current is closed, ie when the actuating element 130 is actuated in the direction of the ON position, the spring 110 is tensioned.
  • the spring 110 serves as an energy store and, due to the latching mechanism 120, cannot yet transfer this energy to the switching shaft 510 of the electrical switch 500. Only when the ON position is reached does the latching mechanism 120 release the energy of the spring 110 to actuate the switching shaft 510 of the electrical switch 500.
  • FIG. 1 the switching point U of the switch lock 100 according to the invention is shown.
  • the semicircular path from the OFF position to the ON position is shown for a rocker arm 130.
  • the rocker arm 130 is moved in the direction of the ON position and thereby tensions the spring 110.
  • the energy for actuating the switching shaft 510 is released.
  • FIG 1 a typical switchover point U SdT , as is known from the prior art, is shown.
  • this switchover point is 70% of the travel of the rocker arm 130 between the OFF position and the ON position. Because the switchover point from the prior art U SdT is 70%, no further energy is built up in the spring 110 of the electrical switch 500 as a result of the movement further in the direction of the ON position. It is therefore advantageous in the case of the switch lock 100 according to the invention that the switchover point U is arranged directly at the ON position and the entire path of the rocker arm 130 is used to tension the spring 110.
  • the switchover that is to say the release of the energy of the spring 110 for actuating the switching shaft 510 of the electrical switch 500, is activated by the contact of the actuating element 130 or the rocker arm 130 with the latching mechanism 120. Because the rocker arm 130 comes into mechanical contact with the latching mechanism 120, the latching mechanism 120 is activated and the switching shaft 510 is thus actuated.
  • the switch lock 100 makes use of the maximum energy content of the spring 110.
  • the spring 110 is deflected to the maximum by the latching mechanism 120 and the maximum energy is transmitted to the switching shaft 510 of the electrical switch 500. With conventional toggle switch locks, this is already released at around 70%.
  • the release of the energy of the spring 110 is determined by the latching mechanism 120 and not via an equilibrium of forces which is subject to external influences and is impaired by them.
  • the switch lock 100 according to the invention does not have any friction-related or speed-related fluctuations at the switchover point.
  • the energy of the spring 110 is used to the maximum, it can be designed to be smaller and thus more economical and mechanically more stable.
  • the defined amount of energy which does not experience any fluctuations due to external influences, enables closer coordination between the key switch and the shift shaft.
