Definitions
- the bipolar thermostatic switch of this invention comprises a housing inside which is disposed a preformed bimetallic element of the thermally responsive snap-acting domed dish or calotte type on which bear two coaxially disposed controlled elements to actuate independent contacts in accordance with the reversal of the curvature of the bimetallic element at a response temperature.
- FIG. 1 of the drawing which comprises an axial cross-section view of the thermostatic switch of this invention.
- the bipolar thermostatic device of this invention comprises lower and upper cases 1 and 4 fastened to each other.
- the case 1 provides a seat 2 on which is disposed a metallic lid 3 in contact with a medium or atmosphere in which temperature variations occur.
- To the said case 1 are anchored the contact elements 14 and 15 and the outer terminals 16 and 17; to case 4 are anchored the other two contact elements 10 and 11 with the outer terminals 12 and 13; and to case 4 is further fastened the closing cover 18.
- the metallic lid 3 is shaped in such a way as to present a plane seat 5 in the form of a circular crown on which bears a bimetallic disk 6, said disk comprising a thermally-responsive snap-acting bimetallic element of a calotte or domed, dished configuration which is preformed in such a way that its curvature inverts at a certain temperature T.
- control members 8 and 9 which are coaxial and slide into one another after the manner of a telescope, the control members being guided in their axial movement by a hole 7 made in the base 1.
- the control members include rod 8 which acts on the elastic contact blade or element and a tubular rod member 9 acts on the elastic contact element or blade 14.
- the contact blade 10 is disposed opposite contact 11.
- the contact elements 10 and 11 are mounted to be integral with anchoring terminals 12 and 13.
- the contact blade 14 is disposed opposite contact 15.
- the contact elements 14 and 15 are mounted to be integral with anchoring terminals 16 and 17.
- flange 3 In normal operation, flange 3 is in contact with a medium or atmosphere (solid, liquid, or gaseous) for which the temperature is to be controlled. Heat from this medium is propagated through the flange 3 to the bimetallic disk 6 as will be understood, At an increase of the temperature of the medium to which the flange 3 is exposed, the disk reaches the critical temperature at which it reverses its curvature and moves the motion 2 transfer members or control members 8 and 9 upward. In this way, the control member 8 opens the circuit formed by the contacts 10 and 11. As shown, the control member 8 extends through an aperture in the contact blade 14. The control member 9 opens the circuit formed by the contacts 14 and 15.
- the bimetallic disk At a decrease in the temperature of the medium to which the flange 3 is exposed, the bimetallic disk is lowered to the temperature at which, considering the differential temperature of such bimetallic disks, the initial configuration of the disk and the initial conditions of the switch are restored.
- thermostatic switch of this invention has been described above in reference to the thermostatic switch in which the contact elements 10 and 11 and 14 and 15 are initially closed and are opened upon the occurrence of a certain temperature value in a medium to which the flange 3 is exposed.
- a thermostatic switch is obtained in which the contact elements 10 and 11 and 14 and 15 are initially open and are closed at the occurrence of a selected temperature value in such medium.
- an electrical connection can be provided which electrically connects the electrical anchoring terminals 13 and 16 as will be understood.
- Other modifications of the described switch can be made within the scope of this invention.
- a bipolar thermostatic switch comprising a housing, a thermally responsive, snap-acting bimetallic, dished element adapted to reverse its dished configuration at a predetermined temperature mounted in said housing, a pair of stationary contact means mounted on said housing, a pair of movable contact means mounted on said housing for movement between control positions engaging and disengaging the said respective stationary contact means, and a pair of control elements disposed in coaxial telescoping relation to each other each having one end thereof in engagement with said dished element and having an opposite end thereof in engagement with said respective movable contact means for moving said movable contact means between said circuit positions in response to reversing of the curvature of said dished element at said selected temperature.
- control members comprise a tubular member of selected length and a rod member of relatively greater length axially slidable in said tube member.
- a switch as set forth in claim 3 wherein one of said movable contact means is engaged by an end of said tube member, said one movable contact means having an aperture therein, and wherein the other of said movable contact means is engaged by an end of said rod member extending through said aperture.
