Definitions
- the invention relates to a switch lock for opening and closing contacts of a switching device, which has an angle lever for actuating a lock mechanism, a ratchet lever and an intermediate lever, on which the angle lever is latched in the ON position, in which the latching of the intermediate lever through the release lever provided for triggering.
- FIG. 6 shows the switch lock in the ON position, in which the long arm of the intermediate lever is latched to a ratchet lever and the latching of the angle lever on the short arm of the intermediate lever. After releasing the angle lever by the intermediate lever, the angle lever is released
- DE 195 26 591 AI discloses an electrical switch with a main contact point and a secondary contact point, both of which can be actuated via a switch lever and a switch lock connected to it.
- the switching device further comprises a latching point formed by a release lever and a ratchet lever.
- the main contact point can be switched via an articulated control lever of the key switch with an intermediate lever.
- DE 38 29 366 AI describes an electrical switch with a locking arrangement.
- the switch has an electronic trigger circuit and also contains a reset spring in cooperation with a switch locking spring in order to ensure a manual reset of the switch after an automatic trigger function.
- Reset spring allows the switch latch assembly to be manually reset with a minimal path length of the switch operating handle.
- the DE 92 06 137 Ul is a circuit breaker with a
- the switch lock can be found which contains a rocker arm, a U-bracket, a pawl and a pawl lever and a connecting lever for connection to a control shaft.
- the rotary movement of the shaft is transmitted here via three levers to three translationally movable contact bridges that can be controlled by tappets.
- An opening spring is supported on the one hand on the housing of the circuit breaker and on the other hand on the selector shaft.
- the length of the lever arm, which the opening spring engages is changed. In the ON position, a small lever arm acts on the selector shaft so that the load on the switch lock is minimized.
- the force of the relaxed opening spring is as great as possible so that the contact load springs can be fully pressed on.
- the interacting levers are articulated, but not releasably connected.
- the invention has for its object to improve a switch lock of the type mentioned above in terms of its triggering and resetting from the triggered state to the ON state.
- angle lever has a projection which, when triggered, moves it into its open position via a nose formed on the ratchet lever.
- the position of the ratchet lever can be influenced depending on the position of the angle lever. This enables the intermediate to keep the lever lever rotatable in the desired manner without it latching on the ratchet lever.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a switch lock according to the invention in the ON state
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the switch lock according to FIG. 1 in the ON state
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the switch lock according to FIG. 1 in the released state
- FIG. 4 shows a view of the switch lock in a first intermediate position during a reset
- FIG. 5 shows a view of the switch lock in a second intermediate position during a reset
- FIG. 1 shows a switch lock 1 of a switching device with a bearing plate 2, an angle lever 3, an intermediate lever 4 and a ratchet lever 5, which are each rotatably mounted on the bearing plate 2.
- the key switch 1 is here in the ON position, in which the lower end of the angle lever 3 in FIG. 1 is latched on the short arm of the intermediate lever 4.
- the coupling point of the angle lever 3 is designated with the lever or lock mechanism, not shown here. Due to the spring force acting on the coupling point 6 and indicated by the arrow 7, the angle lever 3 is rotated into the OFF position.
- the intermediate lever 4 loaded by a return spring 8 is latched via the latch lever 5 at the latching point 17.
- a nose 9 is formed, on which when the latch lever 5 is triggered, a projection 10 of the angle lever 3 attacks and in this way moves the pawl lever 5 into its open position.
- the angle lever 3 is latched at the end of a ramp 11 provided on the intermediate lever 4.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the lever mechanism with the three bearing points 12, 13 and 15 for the levers 3, 4 and 5 mentioned.
- a compression spring 14 holds the latch lever 5 in its closed position according to FIG. 2.
- the angle lever 3 already lies here on the ramp 11 of the intermediate lever 4, which is thereby already rotated by a small angle with respect to its starting position beyond the locking point 17. At the same time, the angle lever 3 with its projection 10 still holds the ratchet lever 5 in its open position. 5 shows a second intermediate position during the reset, in which the return of the ratchet lever 4 into its closed position is released by the angle lever 3.
- the angle lever 3 is located shortly before the end of the ramp 11, ie it is not yet latched to the intermediate lever 4. Only when the end of the ramp 11 is reached does the angle lever 4 release the intermediate lever 3 and the intermediate lever 4 is moved back in the direction of the stop 16 by the return spring 8. The angle lever is latched on the intermediate lever 3 and the intermediate lever 3 is latched on the latch lever 5 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
