Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a safety switching device for switching an electrical consumer that can be connected to the switching device, in particular an electrical machine.
  • Safety switching devices are used, for example, in industrial systems in order to switch off electrical machines reliably, at least in certain areas.
  • safety switching devices protect machines that can potentially pose a risk to operating personnel or devices, such as, for example, production robots, presses, cutting machines and the like.
  • the shutdown process must take place particularly reliably; in particular, it must also be possible to check whether the shutdown process has actually taken place.
  • relays with forcibly guided contacts are used, for example, so that the forced guidance of the contacts when the machine is switched off ensures that the electrical consumer has actually been de-energized.
  • a disadvantage of such positively driven relays is that they are more expensive and larger than conventional relays. In the case of conventional relays, in turn, it cannot be ruled out that the switching contacts of the relay will weld together due to the formation of sparks when the switching element is opened Switching element can no longer interrupt a power supply to the electrical machine. In the case of semiconductor switching elements too, alloying of the semiconductor can mean that a current flow by means of the semiconductor can no longer be interrupted.
  • the invention is therefore based on the knowledge that the actual switching state of the switching element can be determined by radio transmission of the test signal if the actual switching state has an influence on the test signal. In this way, the actual switching state can be reliably determined by means of an arrangement of two antennas that is easy to produce.
  • the safety switching device according to the invention can therefore be produced inexpensively and thus economically, while a reliable detection of the actual switching state is still possible. In this way, for example, welding of contacts of the switching element can be reliably detected.
  • the test signal can be a radio signal which is transmitted by the first antenna and received by the second antenna.
  • the radio signal can comprise or consist of an HF signal or an LF signal (high-frequency signal, for example in the short-wave range or low-frequency signal, for example in the long-wave range).
  • the test signal can be influenced in particular in that in a switching state, for example when the power supply path is closed, no adaptation to the test signal is carried out on the side of the second antenna (“detuning”). On the other hand, when the switching state in which the power supply path has been interrupted is present, the second antenna can be adapted to the test signal (“tuning”).
  • the "tuning" or “detuning” can, as will be explained in detail later, for example by changing the electrical Interconnection takes place on the side of the second antenna.
  • mechanical changes are also conceivable, for example by mechanically introducing a barrier that interferes with the radio contact between the first and second antenna, it being possible for the barrier, for example, to be mechanically coupled to a movable contact of the switching element.
  • a movement of the contact of the switching element can also deform or move the second antenna, for example.
  • the influence on the test signal is measured or detected in order to determine the actual switching state. If the actual switching state deviates from the expected or desired switching state, an error signal can be output.
  • the electrical switching element can be, for example, a mechanical switch, in particular an electromechanically operated relay.
  • the electrical switching element can also comprise a semiconductor switch, in particular a transistor or an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor).
  • IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
  • the safety switching device can comprise a control unit for controlling the switching element.
  • the control unit can, for example, evaluate an external safety sensor, e.g. an emergency stop switch, in particular multi-channel, and in the event of the safety sensor being triggered (e.g. actuation of the emergency stop switch), the switching element can be transferred from the closed switching state to the open switching state.
  • the safety sensor can, for example, also be a door contact, a light grid or a laser scanner.
  • the safety switching devices can, for example, meet the safety requirements according to SIL3 (Safety Integrity Level) or another standard.
  • the control unit can also receive information about the actual switching state of the switching element from the monitoring unit. In the event of a discrepancy between the switching state set by the control unit and the actual switching state, the above-mentioned error signal can be output by the control unit.
  • Control unit and monitoring unit can also be designed as a common unit.
  • the first antenna and / or the second antenna are designed as microstrip and / or patch antennas.
  • the antennas can be manufactured in a very space-saving manner and also very economically using modern methods for manufacturing printed circuit boards, in particular in the same process as the rest of the electronics of the safety switching device.
  • the antennas preferably extend at least essentially only parallel to the surface of the circuit board (or within the circuit board) and thus do not form a significant elevation. In this way, the safety switching device can be made particularly small and compact.
  • the first and the second antenna and in particular all further antennas mentioned later can be arranged on the same printed circuit board.
  • the first antenna and the second antenna are arranged on different layers of the same printed circuit board.
  • the first and the second antenna are isolated from one another and / or galvanically separated.
  • the first antenna on a front side of the circuit board and the second antenna can be arranged on a rear side of the same printed circuit board.
  • the use of different layers or layers of the printed circuit board ie a PCB - Printed Circuit Board) enables the two antennas to be reliably isolated from one another, and in particular a galvanic separation between the first and second antenna can be made possible with low manufacturing costs.
  • the first and second antennas are arranged in a stationary manner with respect to one another.
  • the first and second antennas are preferably spaced apart from one another and have no direct electrical connection.
  • Galvanic isolation is preferably achieved through the use of the two antennas, in particular between the monitoring unit and the switching element.
  • Attaching the first and second antenna to the same circuit board also has the advantage that a transmission path for the test signal can be made very short and thus insensitive to external influences.
  • a transmission path for the test signal can be made very short and thus insensitive to external influences.
  • an influence on the test signal by the switching state of the electrical switching element can be detected more easily, since external influences on the test signal are very small and can therefore essentially be neglected.
  • an initial measurement of the test signal can first take place for various known switching states, with the actual switching states then being able to be determined in productive use based on the initial measurement.
  • the space required by an individual printed circuit board is very small, so that both antennas also only have a small space requirement, as a result of which the safety switching device can in turn be made very compact.
  • the second antenna is part of an oscillating circuit, the resonance frequency of which depends on the actual switching state of the switching element.
  • the resonant circuit can for example comprise a capacitor and a coil, wherein the coil can be formed by the second antenna.
  • the resonant circuit preferably also comprises one or more capacitive or inductive additional components which are (only) electrically coupled into the resonant circuit when the switching element is closed in order to change the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit.
  • the additional components can therefore be electrically connected to the switching element in such a way that when the switching element is in the closed switching state, the additional components become part of the resonant circuit.
  • the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit can be reduced.
  • the resonant circuit can thus have two different resonance frequencies. The first resonance frequency is when the switching element is actually open and the second resonance frequency is when the switching element is actually closed.
  • the resonant circuit can have a first resonance frequency when the switching element is closed and a second, different, resonance frequency when the switching element is open.
  • the switching element can preferably be electrically coupled to the resonant circuit or, as mentioned above, be part of the resonant circuit.
  • the resonant circuit can comprise the second antenna, which can have two electrical contacts, and a first capacitor, the first capacitor being connected between the two electrical contacts of the second antenna. This results in a parallel connection of the first capacitor with the second antenna.
  • the switching element can also have two electrical contacts, each of the electrical contacts of the switching element preferably being electrically connected to an electrical contact of the second antenna via an additional capacitor (i.e. for example a second and third capacitor).
  • the second and third capacitors can accordingly be the additional components mentioned above.
  • the test signal comprises at least two different transmission frequencies, which preferably correspond to the first and / or second resonance frequency.
  • the transmission frequencies can also be referred to as carrier frequencies.
  • the first and the second transmission frequency are transmitted by the first antenna in particular one after the other in time.
  • the resonant circuit of the second antenna can be particularly strongly excited with the appropriate switching state, which can be detected in a simple manner, which in turn makes the actual switching state of the switching element can be determined.
  • the test signal and thus also the transmission frequencies are preferably generated by means of a signal generator and coupled into the first antenna by the signal generator.
  • a frequency ramp, a continuous frequency change or a wobbling of the transmission frequency can also be implemented by the signal generator.
  • the signal generator can be an LF generator or an HF generator.
  • the transmission frequency and thus the test signal can also be modulated, for example by means of amplitude or phase modulation. Modulation using on-off keying is also possible.
  • the test signal can for example comprise a modulation according to the pattern on-off-on-on-off-on.
  • the monitoring unit is designed to measure the power transmitted from the first to the second antenna by means of the test signal, the actual switching state being determined on the basis of the transmitted power.
  • the first and the second antenna are tuned to one another.
  • the energy transfer from the first to the second antenna can be maximized by coordinating them with one another.
  • “detuning” would occur if the transmission frequency does not correspond to the currently prevailing resonance frequency.
  • the energy transfer from the first to the second antenna is then lower, which can be measured by the monitoring unit.
  • the energy transfer can be measured, for example, by measuring a voltage across a resistor in a feed line to the first antenna or in a feed line to the signal generator. It is also possible to measure a change in the amplitude of the transmission frequency, for example by means of an operational amplifier.

  • the safety switching device comprises one or more additional electrical switching elements.
  • the actual switching state of the additional switching element or elements also influences the test signal.
  • At least one of the additional electrical switching elements is preferably coupled to an additional resonant circuit, the resonance frequency of which depends on the actual switching state of the additional electrical switching element, the resonance frequency or the resonance frequencies of the additional resonance circuit preferably differing from the resonance frequency or the resonance frequencies of the resonance circuit.
  • the additional resonant circuit or circuits preferably each include a separate second antenna. However, several resonant circuits can also be connected to a second antenna.
  • the additional electrical switching elements can be connected in series with the (first) electrical switching element in order to enable redundant disconnection of the electrical consumer. It is also possible to use the additional electrical switching elements to implement a multi-channel safety switching device which can switch various electrical loads independently of one another.
  • the safety switching device can have, for example, two or three channels, in each of which two electrical switching elements are connected in series. This results in a total of four or six electrical switching elements.
  • Each of the switching elements can be part of a separate resonant circuit.
  • the additional resonant circuits can also be switched back and forth between two resonance frequencies in that the respective switching element changes its switching state between closed and open (or vice versa). All resonance frequencies used within the same safety switching device are preferably different, so that the actual switching state of each switching element can be clearly detected using just one first antenna, and it is also clear from which switching element the respective resonance frequency "originates".
  • the test signal can also include the resonance frequencies of the additional oscillating circuits, so that each switching element can be tested separately for its actual switching state.
  • the additional resonance frequencies in the test signal can be contained in the test signal one after the other.
  • test signal it is also possible to use the test signal to detect only one switching state of the switching element or switching elements, in particular the "open" switching state.
  • the test signal can be used as transmission frequencies, in particular only that include resonance frequencies that occur when the switching elements contained in the safety switching device are in the "open” switching state.
