Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electromechanical connecting device with a switching device that can be connected to a voltage source and has a bistable magnetic switch and with a triggering device that has at least one trigger and can be connected to a consumer, with which the magnetic switch can be brought from a rest position into a working position and thereby the contact of at least one contact pair and the electrical connection between the switching device and the triggering device can be established.
  • Connecting devices in which the switching device is designed as a bistable magnetic switch are known.
  • a magnetically operated electrical switch is described in DE 29 09 448, which has a switching device, the magnetic switch of which is actuated via a pivotably fixed magnet.
  • the switching magnet which actuates the magnetic switch is pivoted out of the area of the contact pair by two further magnets which have an opposing field so that the switch is open.
  • This closes the switch achieved that the pivoted-out magnet is approximated in a release device provided trigger magnet which attracts the magnet and where it is pivoted far towards the contact pair until the magnet abuts the contact pair and closes it.
  • the electrical connection from the voltage source to the consumer is finally established by placing the triggering device on the switching device.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an electromechanical connecting device of the type mentioned at the outset, which also has a more precisely definable switching point.
  • This object is achieved in that the contacts of two pairs of contacts are closed or opened in the magnetic switch by at least one magnet displaceably guided in the switching device, the magnet of the switching device being switchable into the working position and in the rest position by means of special magnetic fields realized in the triggering device is pushed against a stop with a certain threshold force.
  • Special magnetic fields are understood to mean magnetic fields that are not available in a normal, everyday environment, in particular cannot be generated by common household magnets, which increases the child safety of the connecting device.
  • These special magnetic fields can e.g. can be realized by using particularly strong high-energy magnets, or they are realized by magnetic coding.
  • the magnetic switch at least one in the Switching device has displaceably guided magnet, which is pushed against a stop in the rest position, the contact of the two contact pairs is only closed when the magnet leaves the rest position and assumes the working position, whereby it performs a linear movement.
  • the linear movement of the magnet is much easier to control than swivel movements or the like.
  • the contact between the two contact pairs is advantageously only closed when the magnet has completely passed through the displacement path and accordingly assumes its working position.
  • the at least one magnet is advantageously arranged on a magnetic carriage.
  • the rest position of the magnetic carriage is defined in that it is pushed against a stop by magnetic forces.
  • the magnetic forces of the release magnets act on the magnetic slide. Since the magnetic carriage is pressed against a stop due to the interaction of the magnetic forces of the magnets of the switching device with a ferromagnetic plate or a permanent magnet, the latter does not leave its rest position as long as the magnetic forces of the release magnet do not outweigh the magnetic forces of the magnets of the switching device. From a certain position of the trigger magnet in relation to the However, the switching device's magnetic forces are so great that they cancel the magnetic forces of the magnets of the switching device: The magnetic slide changes its position in the direction of the working position and closes the contacts of the two contact pairs.
  • the contact pair is closed spontaneously in the invention. This not only results in a precisely definable switching point, but also a spark-proof switching is guaranteed.
  • the tripping magnets therefore have a tripping and a holding function.
  • the arrangement of the magnet or the magnets of the holding device on a magnetic carriage has the advantage that both contacts are either switched on or off at the same time, that there is a faster switch-off behavior, in particular when the trigger element is lifted obliquely, and that a switching operation only is triggered when the release magnets interact with the magnetic slide in the geometrically intended position.
  • the simultaneous switching of both pairs of contacts also increases the security of the connecting device, thereby eliminating the possibility that, for example, when the trigger element is turned off, no contact is under voltage, for example via the consumer, and can possibly be touched.
  • the connecting device Since the magnetic force of the magnets of the switching device and the magnets of the triggering device are also reversibly temperature-dependent, a further safety aspect is created with the connecting device according to the invention in that the contacting is interrupted from a certain temperature. If, for example, there is a liquid film on the contact surface and this represents a resistance, its temperature is gradually increased by the current flowing through it. However, the housing of the switching device and the housing of the triggering device are also heated, which is harmless below a certain temperature limit. Above a certain temperature, however, this can damage the device. The magnets can now be selected so that their attraction is no longer sufficient for mutual attraction from a certain temperature that is below the critical temperature.
  • the magnetic switch drops and returns to its rest position. Since there is no longer any current flowing, there is no further heating and the entire device gradually cools down again. If it has reached a temperature at which the magnets have regained their original attraction, the connection between the two becomes Facilities restored. Total failure due to thermal damage is therefore excluded by the connecting device according to the invention.
  • the magnetic carriage is pushed into the rest position by means of the magnets by means of a ferromagnetic plate.
  • the ferromagnetic plate forms the stop for the magnetic slide. If in this embodiment the release device with the release magnet is brought closer to the switching device, the magnetic carriage is only moved from its rest position into the working position when the adhesive force of the two magnets on the ferromagnetic plate is overcome by the release magnet or by the two release magnets of the release device . As long as the magnetic carriage is in contact with the ferromagnetic plate, the switching contact of the device has certainly not yet been established.
  • the magnetic carriage is pushed into the rest position via magnetic elements arranged next to the magnets.
  • These magnetic elements are formed, for example, by further magnets rigidly connected to the switching device, in particular ring magnets, which are poled so that they are the magnets push to the rest position with the magnetic slide.
  • This embodiment also ensures a precisely defined switching point, since the magnetic carriage is only moved out of its rest position when the force of the magnetic elements rigidly connected to the switching device is overcome by the magnetic force of the release magnet.
  • the direction of displacement of the magnets from their rest position into the working position corresponds to the direction in which the release device is placed on the switching device.
  • the magnets and / or the magnetic plate are pushed into the rest position via additional mechanical elements such as springs or the like.
  • the spring generates a restoring force with a linear characteristic, which acts on the carriage in the direction of its rest position, whereby the hysteresis behavior of the switching characteristic is reduced to a minimum.
  • a further simplification of the configuration of the device according to the invention is achieved in that the magnets of the holding device and / or the release magnets of the release device are designed as current-carrying elements. This avoids additional components, since the current can be fed directly to the corresponding assigned contacts via the magnets. In addition to a simpler construction of the device, this measure can also reduce the construction volume.
  • a greater security, an increase in the adhesive force, particularly against lateral displacement in connection with a rapid switch-off when the trigger device is lifted, is preferably achieved in that the magnets of the switching device and the trigger magnets of the trigger device have mutually corresponding magnetic codes, in particular are designed as nested ring magnets.
  • Ring magnets have the advantage that they can be produced in a particularly simple manner, namely by inserting a cylindrical magnetic core into a sleeve-shaped ring magnet. However, this core has opposite polarity. If the magnets of the switching device and the release device are coded in this way, for example, the magnetic force of the release magnet only acts on the Magnets of the switching device when the magents assume positions corresponding to one another.
  • the magnetic carriage is permanently connected to the voltage source. This has the advantage that the switch can be closed and the contact made only by changing the position of the magnetic carriage, which comes to rest on the contact pairs.
  • the magnetic slide bridges the poles of two contacts in the working position and thereby establishes the electrical connection.
  • This configuration has the advantage that the overvoltage-proof air gap between the magnetic slide and the poles can be selected to be smaller, which reduces the overall depth of the device and the non-linear one The course of the magnetic force is more controllable.
  • a preferred embodiment of the connecting device provides that the switching device has a flat surface and the contacts accessible from the outside consist of a low-resistance, non-ferromagnetic material.
  • This flat and compact design of the switching device has the advantage that it is easy to clean and therefore hygienically unproblematic and also reduces the risk of damage.
  • the switching device offers novel design options with attractive applications that meet the latest aesthetic criteria.
  • the switching device and the triggering device each have a grounding ring surrounding the contacts further reduces the security against unintentional contact with the contacts when the connecting device is switched on. If a flat object is pushed between the triggering device and the switching device, it is always in contact with the earthing ring, so that an electric shock is largely avoided. This safety is also guaranteed when there is a liquid film on top.
  • the housing of the triggering device has an edge surrounding the part of the magnets which projects beyond the flat side of the housing, an elastic element which surrounds the magnets and which projects beyond the edge and the magnets and the magnets being arranged within the edge are in contact with the elastic element penetrating contact elements, in particular elastically.
  • This configuration of the side of the triggering device facing the switching device makes it deformable to a certain degree.
  • small unevenness on the contact surface of the switching device can be easily compensated.
  • the two elements can be manufactured with less precision in terms of the flatness of their contact surfaces and are therefore less expensive to manufacture.
  • lifting the triggering device on one side does not immediately lead to the disconnection of the connecting device.
  • the elastic element serves as a seal, so that, for example, no water can penetrate between the contact surfaces from the outside in the switched state.
  • This configuration also offers increased spark safety outside the housing of the switching device, since the trigger element is only lifted when the slide is in its rest position, in which the contact pairs are already open.
  • the contact elements are preferably duck-shaped and take up the free end of the magnets, the bottom of the contact elements forming the contact point of the trigger element. This creates the advantage that a certain freedom of play between the magnets of the switching device and the triggering device is created without the contact being interrupted immediately.
  • An in particular also elastic plate inserted in the elastic element forms the contact surface of the release device and thus ensures a snug fit against the switching device, but the release device can carry out relative movements, since the plate is received in a floating manner via the elastic element.
  • the plate, the bottom of the contact elements and the earthing ring preferably form a flat contact surface, which among other things. easy cleaning of the contact surface of the release device allows.
  • a simple structure is achieved in that the trigger magnets are connected to a current conductor. This can e.g. by the fact that the ends of the current conductor are soldered directly to the release magnets.
  • the connecting device is formed in one piece and has both the switching device and the triggering device.
  • the connecting device can be used both as a switching device and as a triggering device, and form an expandable, combinable multiple connector strip.
  • This connector strip is to be connected to the network via a cable and can accommodate a corresponding number of triggering devices via one or more switching devices, which in turn, since they have a switching device, can accommodate triggering devices.
  • the individual elements can have the same design on the outside, so that a large number of coupling devices coupled to one another also have an appealing aesthetic appearance. The single ones
  • connecting devices can also differ in shape and color, so that they each result in different structures due to the individual combination.

  • the plugs of the consumers can also be converted in that the triggering device Has conventional socket, so that it can be connected to the conventional plug.
  • the devices designed in this way can be handled like adapters. In order to avoid unintentional detachment from the conventional plugs or sockets, they have screw or snap devices with which only a controlled removal is possible.
  • the magnets are designed as high-energy magnets and in particular consist of the group of rare earths such as samarium-cobalt or neodymium-iron-boron.
