Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a switching device according claim 1.
  • the switching device in question is under electric potential, at a certain distance between the closing switched contacts, an electric arc can be produced. With sufficiently low voltage and with users of electricity that require only small amounts of current to be conducted via the switching device, no problem is generally created as a result.
  • US 9 953 777 B2 by the applicant describes a switching device with a jump-switch off function in a compact design. Although the mechanism according US 9 953 777 B2 works perfect in most conditions it tend to malfunction in one special case. This special case can only happen in the phase the contacts were closed by actuating the hand switching lever. It is sometimes possible that the contacts are already closed but the engagement area of the connecting rod is not bearing against the projection of the hand switch lever. The reason for this situation is an unfinished movement of the hand switch lever. A further movement of the hand switch lever of a few degrees in the direction to close the contacts would bring the engagement area of the connecting rod in contact with the projection. If the engagement area is in contact with the projection of the hand switching lever it is not possible to open the contacts slowly.
  • a safe switching-off of the switching device may be accomplished, regardless of the manner and speed with which the user actuates the hand switching lever.
  • the jump-switch off function will be activated in each case the hand switching lever respective the manual control button is turned in a direction for opening the contacts, after the hand switching lever has overstepped a predefined position. This predefined position is not a stationary position of the hand switching lever.
  • the switching device described can thus have a compact design, with a small number of necessary parts.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 show a particularly preferable execution of a switching device 1 - in particular, a safety switching device - comprising:
  • a safe switching-off of the switching device 1, and thus a safe separation of the contacts 4, 6, may be accomplished, regardless of the manner and speed with which the user actuates the hand switching lever 7.
  • the jump-switch off function will be activated in each case the hand switching lever 7 respective the manual control button is turned in a direction for opening the contacts 4, 6, after the hand switching lever 7 has overstepped a predefined position. This predefined position is not a stationary position of the hand switching lever 7.
  • the switching device 1 described can thus have a compact design, with a small number of necessary parts.
  • FIGS. 3 through 13 show details of the switching device 1 described.
  • the present invention concerns an electrical switching device 1, wherein it is preferable that the switching device 1 be designed as a safety switching device or a so-called automatic switch. It is preferable that the switching device 1 be designed as a safety circuit breaker or a circuit switch. It is preferable that the switching device 1 be designed as a compact, low-voltage safety switching device.
  • the switching device 1 includes at least one trigger 33.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show an electromagnetic trigger 33, such as a short-circuit trigger. Additionally, a typically-designed thermal trigger, such as a bi-metallic trigger for overcurrent release, can be provided. Furthermore, it can be provided that the triggers 33 in question be combined.
  • the switching device 1 has a housing 14 made out of an insulating material, preferably designed as a two-piece part, with two housing halves or shells.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show the lower housing half of the housing 14. The upper housing half is not shown.
  • the switching device 1 has at least one movable contact 4 and at least one housing-mounted contact 6. According to the illustrated preferred execution, the switching device 1 has a so-called double break, thus being provided with two movable contacts 4 and two housing-mounted contacts 6, which are assigned, however, to a single switching path.
  • the switching device 1 has two connecting terminals 18, 19. If there is no such electrically conductive connection via the switching device 1, it is regarded as switched-off, i.e., in a switched-off state. If there is such an electrically conductive connection, the switching device is regarded as switched-on, i.e., in a switched-on state. As is customary, the transitions between the two states are accordingly called the switching-on and the switching-off of the switching device 1.
  • the label closed contacts 4, 6 can also be used to refer to the switched-on state, while open contacts 4, 6 can be used for the switched-off state.
  • the at least one movable contact 4 is arranged on a movable contact arm 3.
  • the contact arm 3 has two movable contacts 4, which are located on corresponding parallel forked extensions of the contact arm 3, which in this execution can also be referred to as contact or switching bridges.
  • the forked extensions are not shown in the figures.
  • the switching device 1 has a so-called switch lock 2.
  • the switch lock 2 is a mechanical component that controls the movements of the contact arm 3.
  • the switch lock 2 also has a latch 20 and a latch support 22.
  • FIGS. 3 to 10 show the corresponding assemblies in different views, in separation from the other components of the switching device 1.
  • the switching lever 7 is connected to the contact arm 3 via a first brace 5 and a bracket 8 affixed to the first brace 5.
  • the first brace 5 is guided via a guiding slot 9 of the pivotably mounted latch 20.
  • the switching device 1 has a jump switch-off mechanism for manually-actuated rapid separation of the contacts 4, 6. Up to this jump switch-off mechanism, the present switch lock 2 matches (according to the preferred execution configuration) the switch lock 2 as presented in EP 680 661 B1 .
  • the switch lock with the basic embodiment of the connecting rod is shown in US 9 953 777 B2 .
  • the switch lock 2 has two essentially parallel base plates 25, between which the individual components are mounted. Only one of the base plates is shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the latch support 22 is provided with a - not shown - latching location to which the latch 20 can catch so as to form a so-called latching.
  • the latch support 22 is mounted between the two base plates 25 in a way that allows it to swivel.
  • the latch 20 should preferably be a metal part, and is fastened between the base plates 25, also in a way that allows it to swivel.
  • On the latch 20, which is provided with two - not shown - lateral arms a guiding slot 9 is positioned, by means of which a part of the first (preferably, U-shaped) brace 5 engages. Between the two lateral arms of the latch 20, and on the part of the first brace 5, the bracket 8 is located, which is connected with the movable contact arm 3.
  • a connecting rod 10 is mounted on the latch support 22, allowing for movement. If the switching lever 7 is set in the stationary position in which the contacts 4, 6 are in contact, the connecting rod 10 is positioned on a first projection 11 of the switching lever 7. It should be noted at this point that the switching lever 7 can also take this position without the contacts 4, 6 actually being in contact, e.g., if the so-called trip-free mechanism of a sealed hand switching lever 7 leads to a release of the switching device 1 and separation of the contacts 4, 6.
  • the first brace 5 be mounted on or in the first projection 11 of the switching lever 7, as shown.
  • the hand switching lever 7 is rotated in order to switch the switching device 1 on.
  • the position of the first projection 11 inside the switching device 1 also changes.
  • the switching lever 7 be designed to have multiple components, and the first projection 11 is a part of an internal part of the switching lever 7.
  • the connecting rod 10 has a length that is appropriate for this purpose.
  • the connecting rod 10 is mounted on the latch support 22 and can rotate in this position. Furthermore, the connecting rod 10 is attached to the latch support 22, preferably under spring tension, wherein the so-called connecting rod spring 13, which preferably is mounted on the latch support 22 itself, impinges upon the connecting rod 10 in the direction toward the switching lever 7.
  • the connecting rod 10 is preferably designed as a plastic component and has, according to the present preferable execution configuration, two arms, which run from the support point to the engagement area 12, thus spanning over a gap.
  • the hand switching lever 7 further comprises a second projection 30, which is preferably arranged on the first projection 11 of the hand switching lever 7.
  • the second projection 30 is especially formed as integral elongation of the first projection 11.
  • the second projection 30 can best be seen in Fig. 10 and 11 .
  • the connecting rod 10 further comprises an actuating shoulder 29, with the actuating shoulder 29 bearing against the second projection 30 of the hand switching lever 7 when the hand switching lever 7 is in a non-stationary position in which the movable contact 4 and the housing-mounted contact 6 are in contact or almost in contact.
  • the actuating shoulder 29 can best be seen in Fig. 10 to 13 .
  • the actuating shoulder 29 is arranged on the connecting rod 10 between the end portion 12 of the connecting rod 10 and the movably mounting of the connecting rod 10.
  • the actuating shoulder 29 enables the jump-off mechanism to work even in cases the end portion of the connecting rod does not engage the first projection. This situation can happen if the switching lever 7 is in a non-stationary position near the switch-on position of the switching lever 7. By moving the switching lever 7 from the off-position to the on-position the second projection 30 will pass the actuating shoulder 29 at one position of the switching lever 7. After passing the actuating shoulder 29 it is not possible to move the switching lever 7 in the direction to open the contacts without activating the jump-off mechanism. This ensures that it is not possible to generate and hold an arc between the contacts 4, 6.
  • Fig. 6 and 7 show the switch lock 2 with the switching lever 7 in a position immediately before the second projection 30 passes actuating shoulder 29.
  • Fig. 8, 9 and 10 show the switch lock 2 with the switching lever 7 moved a few degrees further, compared to Fig. 6 and 7 . In this position the second projection 30 engages the actuating shoulder 29.
  • Fig. 10 shows an enlarged part of this detail out of Fig. 9 .
  • the length of the connecting rod 10 must be such that it allows for a release of the latching before the contacts 4, 6 are separated. Only FIGS. 2 and 3 show the stationary switched-on state.
  • the end portion 12 of the connecting rod 10 has a concave engagement area 31 for engaging at the first projection 11 of the hand switching lever 7. It is preferable that the first projection 11 have a recess, in order to avoid premature displacement of the connecting rod 10.
  • the contact separation occurs in a representative switching device 1, in which the latching is released.
  • the switching lever 7 is moved back into the switched-off position, the latch 20 is shifted again under the latch support 22, creating a new latching, which is necessary to keep the contacts 4, 6 connected.
  • the housing 14 of the switching device 1 have a - not shown - housing projection in the area of the latch support 22, and that the connecting rod 10 - particularly in the area of its placement on the latch support 22 - have a striking pad 16 for propping up the latch support 22 on the housing projection after the release of the latching.
  • the first projection 11 cannot push the connecting rod 10 - and, with it, the latch support 22 - too far from the latch 20. It can, therefore, be ensured that, when the switching lever 7 is moved back into the switched-off position, the latch 20 again forms a latching with the latch support 22.
  • the affected housing projection borders a - not shown - trigger housing opening for connecting the switch lock 2 with an external trigger.
  • Switching devices 1 often have openings in the side walls of the housing 14 in order to functionally connect several such switching devices 1.
  • the production costs can be reduced by supporting the connecting rod 10 on a housing projection, which serves an auxiliary function.
  • the present switching device 1 can be triggered even if the switching lever 7 is set into the position that corresponds with the switched-on state, with the resulting separation of the contacts 4, 6.
  • the jump switch-off mechanism presented and described here concerns the manually triggered separation of the initially closed contacts 4, 6 by means of actuating the switching lever 7.
  • the actuation can take place via an external mechanical actuator, which moves the hand switching lever 7.
