- FIG. 2 again shows a longitudinal section through a short-circuiting device according to the invention with the already explained with reference to FIG. 1 components and assemblies.
- a recess in the inner cone 91 adapted to the outer cone 61 of the movable contact part 6 is provided (see FIG. 1), the outer and inner cone having a bounce-free short-circuit contact area with positive and positive locking due to plastic deformation occurring form. This state is shown in FIG. 2. Due to the plastic deformation, a rebounding counter to the direction of movement of the movable part 6 is effectively prevented.

- the arrangement of the spring 7 in the cavity of the substantially cylindrical, movable contact part 6 results in no additional space required for the required spring space.
- the short-circuiting device is compact executable.
- the wall thickness of the movable contact part 6 can be designed due to the hollow cylindrical shape and the associated large cross-sectional area on the mechanical requirements, such as the force of currents after closing.
- the wall thickness of the hollow cylinder and the bottom of the movable contact part 6 can be, for example, in the range of 1 mm to 3 mm, depending on the material and the current load.
- a very large sliding contact surface of the movable contact part 6 with respect to the contact electrode 8 can be achieved with a low mass of the movable contact part 6. the. This allows a sufficient contact surface for large current loads with minimal weight and thus a high speed in the movement of the contact part 6 and comparatively low spring forces.
- vent openings 12 and 92 may be provided in the region of the contact electrode, which prevent pressure build-up due to the compression of the gas in a rapid movement of the contact member 6.
- vents 12; 92 can be closed with a membrane, a valve or easily opening closure elements or a plug.
- the pressure compensation can also take place within a substantially closed short-circuiting device with suitable channels in the contact electrode 8 and / or in the movable contact part 6.
- the contact area between the movable contact part 6 and the contact electrode 8 is many times, i. at least three times larger than between the contact electrode 9 and the movable contact part 6, since in this area preferably no plastic deformation takes place.
- the electrical contact is realized via a substantially coaxial sliding contact with a gap dimension of preferably ⁇ 0.1 mm, not more than 0.2 mm.
- the respective surfaces may have a suitable coating to improve the sliding properties and the electrical properties.
- the sliding contact is able to carry high currents without arcing for a short time without additional contact blades and without plastic deformation, and allows a design for high continuous currents.
- the main current path after closing the short-circuiting device is thus replaced by a non-positive press connection with plastic deformation tion of the conical short-circuit contact region between the contact part 6 and the contact electrode 9 and the sliding contact between the contact part 6 and the contact electrode 8 realized with only little force.
- an outer diameter of about 30 mm results in a spring force of about 800 N and a relatively short travel of the contact part 6, a kinetic energy of a few joules, which is transferred to a large extent in plastic deformation in the contact area.
- the energy available for the plastic deformation is at least 10 joules exclusively due to the spring force. Due to the support of the spring force by additional forces according to the embodiment of the teaching of the invention extensions of the travel distance of> 0.5 mm to 2 mm are achieved when the current is interrupted after melting of the sacrificial element. Without interruption of the current, the kinetic energy increases to several 10 joules, which extends the travel compared to the pure form-fitting by several millimeters. In such a design, the travel can be limited by suitable means, since only a small penetration depth of the contact part 6 relative to the contact electrode 8 is sufficient for a sufficient current carrying capacity according to the illustrations shown.
- the lengths of the sliding contact and the gap between the movable contact part 6 and the contact electrode 8 are designed in such a way that further requirements relevant to functional safety can be positively influenced.
- hot gas, plasma or conductive particles, soot or the like can reach the region of the separation path between the contact part 6 and the contact electrodes 8 and 9 via the gap of the sliding contact before the contact part 6 and the contact electrode 8 are closed metallically.
- the aforementioned vote is optionally by other measures, such as foreclosure of the pressure chamber to the sacrificial element at least until reaching the metallic contact by appropriate gas deflections between the emergence area and the gap area or by a vent in the contact electrode 9, which is optionally also released only after the beginning of the movement of the contact part 6, and the main amount of gas dissipates without passage of the gap region to complete.
- the proposed embodiment of sliding contact and gap used to use in the event of failure of an arc in the sliding region of the contact part 6, the formation of the molten metal to produce a metallically highly conductive connection.
- Such an error case for example, by high dynamic forces, which act on the contact part 6 by an unfavorable installation, be conditional.
- the melt which occurs in this case due to the arc which occurs intermittently in the contact region is forced into and held in the narrow gap between contact part 6 and contact electrode 9. This leads to a further reduction of the gap, the reduction of the clearance between the contact part 6 and the contact electrode 9 even at high force and by the rapid cooling of the melt in the well-cooled region to a metallic short circuit.
- a further mechanical acceleration of the contact part 6 can be achieved by supporting measures.
- the heat generation, but also the arcing in the overload of this part can be used to provide an additional force based on the force of the spring 7.
- the space around the sacrificial element 5 is replaced by e.g. tubular members 13 and 14 limited at least before the movement of the part 6.
- the temperature abruptly builds up a high pressure within this limited space, which acts on the movement of the contact part 6 via the surfaces 15 and 16 as a supporting force.
- the closing time of the short-circuiter can thereby be shortened.
- the heat energy of the sacrificial element 5 at its flow-side load or that of the arc can be used to additional gases, for example via the known hard gas effect, or even the Triggering of gas generators to produce, which further increase the pressure and thus the force on the movable switching part 6.
- the second peg-shaped extension 100 can be surrounded by an insulating tube 13 of gas-emitting material.
- the tube of gas-emitting material e.g. POM
- POM gas-emitting material
- the time to close the short-circuiting device can be reduced by about 30%.
- the switching element 11 can be designed as a fast mechanical switch, as a spark gap, but also as a semiconductor switch.
- the switching element 11 must be able to carry the current until it closes the main path via the contacts of the components 6, 9 and 8 after its actuation.
- Switching element 11 is a power interruption of the auxiliary path by the use of a fuse 17 (Fig. 1) possible.
- the switching voltage loads u.a. the separation distance between the modules 6, 8 and 9 during the closing process.
- the switching voltage of the fuse 17 can be suitably limited by an overvoltage protection element.
- an overvoltage protection element for example, a parallel connection of a varistor is suitable.
- the interruption of the current can also lead to an unpowered break. If such an unpowered pause is undesirable, there is the possibility of realizing an auxiliary short circuit.
- the auxiliary short circuit can be performed in the simplest form, for example in semiconductor switches as a substantially pressure-resistant metallic housing 18 with spark gap function. If the semiconductor is overloaded as a switching element 11, the spark gap is ignited passively or actively and conducts the current until the contacts are closed.
- an auxiliary short-circuiter can also be activated directly with or after triggering the movement of the movable contact part 6 and relieve the Anticianpfad with switching element 11.
- Such a device can be directly connected to the function of an additional fuse element with limited switching capacity, but also directly to a fuse-like function of the sacrificial element 5.
- Fig. 3 shows an example of this embodiment.
- the melting in the region of the constriction 19 leads to an arc, which bridges an insulation gap or destroys an insulation. This allows a current flow from the fixed terminal 3 to the fixed terminal 2 already before the metallic short circuit of the corresponding contact electrodes using the movable contact part 6.
- the current flow is made possible via a feedthrough with an insulator 20 and a conductor 21 with sufficient cross section.
- the Anberichtpfad with switch 11 can thereby be carried out space-saving and inexpensive.
- the currentless break which may possibly result in a shutdown of the control path, is thereby reliably prevented even at high currents.
- the described arrangement also allows a parallel connection of two short-circuiters to increase the current carrying capacity with only one switching element 11.
- both short-circuiters with opposite orientation and electrical series connection of the drive paths with the sacrificial element with only one switching element 11 can be actuated simultaneously.
- Fig. 4 shows a similar arrangement as already explained with reference to FIG. 3.
- the melt integral value of the bottleneck e.g. designed as a wire 22, which is in Aktv réellesnik the switching element 11, very low.
- the arc bridges the spark gap in the region 23 and allows a flow of current through the auxiliary conductor 21.
- the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 4 permits a low-cost, low-power design of the activation branch, including the switching element 11.
- This circuit is relieved immediately after the ignition of the arc in the area 23 and can optionally be additionally protected with a small fuse 17. Activation of the main short-circuiter in this case takes place in two stages, but a current flow through the short-circuiter is always ensured without interruption.
- a supplementary possibility of increasing the current carrying capacity is according to the second aspect of the invention in a division and functional division of the short-circuiting device by an arrangement with at least two contact areas.
- Fig. 5 shows a related exemplary embodiment.
- the local contact 30 is a common fixed contact for both first and second stage movable contacts.
- the movable contact 31 of the first stage is held by a sacrificial element 32, which is under pressure by springs 33, at a distance from the fixed contact 30.
- the sacrificial element 32 is insulated from the contact 30 and has an executed terminal contact 40 for a drive.
- the first movable contact 31 is guided in a fixed contact 34 and connected thereto via a cylindrical sliding surface.
- the contact 34 has circumferentially distributed a plurality of openings 35 in which balls 36 or rollers are guided with a diameter slightly larger than the wall thickness of the fixed contact 34.
- the second, movable contact 37 is also guided via a sliding contact.
- the contact 37 is hollow cylindrical and provided with a flank, which is supported on the balls or rollers 36.
- the contact 37 is biased by springs 38.
- the flank can pass directly into the conical region of the second movable contact 37, resulting in a relatively steep cone for the contact area due to the desired force distribution.
- the contact region thus has large, substantially lateral, ie radial contact surfaces.
- the contact part 31 has circumferentially a groove 39, which is arranged in the tensioned state above the balls 36.
- the balls 36 are displaced into the groove 39 due to the force of the springs 38 and the cone-shaped portion 41 of the second movable contact 37 is released and moved into the cone-shaped groove 42 of the fixed contact 30, whereby both stages are closed.
- the first movable contact 31 may have a conical shape on the outer peripheral side.
- the balls 36 act as a blocking device against lifting the first stage. This blocking function can be assisted by partially elastic storage of areas of the contact 30.
- the sacrificial element 32 holds against the spring tension 33, the movable contact piece 31 at a distance from the fixed electrode or the fixed contact 30.
- the sacrificial element 32 is characterized by a relatively small I 2 t value ( ⁇ 40 kA 2 s), a high tensile strength and a high yield strength, ie a low elongation.
- I 2 t value ⁇ 40 kA 2 s
- a high tensile strength ie a low elongation
- vents may also be present in the region of the second contact surfaces.
- the second movable contact piece 37 is in turn fixed via balls 36 via a flank of the cone.
- the balls Upon movement of the contact 31, the balls can be moved into the groove 39 of the part 31, whereby the springs 38 move the movable member 37 to the mating contact 48.
- the force acting on the moving part 31 can be increased in relation to the pure spring force 33.
- the pressure effect of the arc resulting from the melting of sacrificial element 32 may be affected by hard gas, e.g. Part 49. If only a slow venting is realized from this area, this force effect can be maintained even after the closing of the contacts, whereby the contact force is increased over this time range.
- a further auxiliary electrode can additionally be used, which leads to the potential of the contact 30.
- the arc can change to such auxiliary contact 50 immediately after ignition.
- the switch 45 is relieved even before closing the contacts 30 and 31 of a current flow.
- this relief of the switch 45 can also by a power interruption by the switch 45 and a fuse 51 after Achieving the I 2 t value of the sacrificial element 32 can be realized.
- the solution without auxiliary contact 50 is sufficient, in particular, if a short currentless break is acceptable due to a short closing time of the contacts in the application.
- the short-circuiters according to the presented examples can be combined if necessary with mechanical, electrical, optical, but also other displays or telecommunication devices, which on the control, the current load of the activation path, the overload of the sacrificial element, the beginning of the movement of the moving contact or the achievement of a certain position of the moving contact are aligned or tuned.
- Such sensors can simultaneously detect and indicate aging effects.
- the minimum cross-section of the movable contact part 6 according to the illustrations of FIGS. 1 to 4 lies in the region of the insulation gap 10 after closing with copper or aluminum at approximately 150 mm 2 , preferably at 240 mm 2 .
- the penetration depth of the contact part 6 in the cone of the part 2 is at least 3 mm and is preferably designed> 6mm.
- the weight of the contact part may be at most 150 g, preferably at 100 g.
- the initial spring force of the spring 7 is> 800 N and is preferably about 1100 N.
- the air gap between the contact electrodes 8; 9 is at least 3 mm, preferably> 5mm.
- the contact materials used are preferably metals or graphite-based materials.
- the material of the sacrificial element 5 or 32 has a high mechanical tensile strength with a small specific melting integral.
- the sacrificial element is designed as a stainless steel screw or stainless steel bolt.
- the tensile load materials are advantageous in which at flow of current due to heating before reaching the Melting temperature a strong softening occurs. This allows to shorten the reaction time and the closing time after activation, especially at lower current gradients significantly. Such a positive effect is known by some steels. In principle, materials with active geometry changes can also be used.
- the cone in the region of the short-circuit contact has an angle of ⁇ 10 °, preferably ⁇ 3 °, whereby the deformation in the closing area and the reduction of kinetic energy sufficiently prevents the disadvantageous bounce even in spring drives with high elasticity and low spring forces.
- the impedance of the An einpfads the short-circuiting device including the switching element 11 is in the range ⁇ 10 mOhm, in particular ⁇ 5 mOhm.
- the peak current carrying capacity of the individual short-circuiters is well above 200 kA and the short-term current carrying capacity is> 100 kA e ff.
- the continuous current carrying capacity is above 1000 A.
- the closing time of the main path falls below 2 milliseconds, due solely to the spring force at a Trennumblenabsatz of 6 mm. Due to the support of additional forces according to the theory of the invention, the real closing times decrease to about 1 ms.
- the closing time in addition to the increase in the spring force and the additional forces by reducing the mass of the movable contact member 6, a suitable reduction of the effective spring mass, the centering and the optimization of the force and a clean management of the contact part 6 in the idle and moving state on be lowered.
- a reduction of the closing time is also possible by increasing the effective pressure areas and reducing the effective pressure volume, ie the space around the sacrificial element.
- a first of the contacts can be optimized for speed and relatively low ampacity and low bounce.
- the second stage, ie the second contact pair is arc-free and can be connected to a high current carrying capacity. be adjusted, with the closing time itself is subordinate.
- the contact and Hubwegget is possible independently.
- At least one of the two-stage embodiment is lockable, wherein the locking is supported by an elastic mounting of a partial contact.
- the elastic mounting can be realized by way of example using a spring or a spring-elastic element 53 in the cone region 48.
- a solution is assumed which combines the idea of the deformation of the first stage as an inner stage with an inverted sacrificial element with the two-stage function in the sense of an outer stage.
