Definitions
- Safety switch especially emergency stop switch, for safely switching off a dangerous device
- the present invention relates to a safety switch, in particular an emergency stop switch, for safely switching off a dangerous device, with a mechanically actuated actuating element which can be moved between a first and at least a second position, and a detector element for detecting the actuating element in at least one of the positions mentioned.
- a safety switch is known for example from DE 38 41 458 Cl.
- Generic safety switches are often used in automated systems to bring the system into a safe state in the event of a dangerous situation. This can be, for example, an immediate shutdown of the system when manually operating an emergency stop switch. Depending on the application, however, a safe rest position can also be assumed or a partial function of the system can be blocked.
- Typical examples of generic safety switches in addition to manually operated emergency stop switches (“mushroom pushbuttons”) are manual enabling switches as well as position and limit switches which are operated mechanically via levers, rollers, hinges or the like. Examples of such safety switches are from DE 199 02 910 AI, DE 199 02 919 AI, DE 199 37 947 AI or DE 34 30 090 AI known.
- All the generic safety switches have in common that they have a mechanically actuated control element, the respective position of which is monitored with the aid of a detector element.
- the detector elements are usually designed as electromechanical switching elements, the contacts of which are opened or closed by the movable actuating element.
- So-called positive-opening arrangements are usually used for safety switches, which ensure that the safety switch is opened even in the event of a malfunction in the safety switch itself, such as if the contacts get stuck in the closed position.
- a key switch is also known, which is provided for checking an authorization to intervene in computer-aided control devices of machines, systems or the like. Instead of a mechanical key, the use of a transponder is provided to determine the authorization to intervene.
- EP 0 229 247 A2 or EP 0 968 567 B1 are non-contact signal transmitters (ie two-part per se, not mechanically operated) which also operate according to the transponder principle. These contactless signal transmitters are to be used, among other things, for monitoring protective doors.
- the detector element of the safety switch mentioned at the outset includes a transponder with an individual transponder identifier and a reading unit designed to read the transponder identifier, the transponder and the reading unit being arranged with respect to one another such that the reading unit is the transponder can read out in the first position of the control element, but not in its second position.
- the new safety switch therefore has a transponder, which is generally spatially separated from the reading unit.
- Reading unit and transponder communicate with each other wirelessly to read out the transponder identifier, as is usual with transponders, i.e. via at least one electromagnetic signal.
- the arrangement of the transponder, reading unit and movable actuator is selected so that the wireless communication breaks off (is prevented) when the actuator is moved from the first to the second position. In other words, wireless communication is only possible here if the actuating element is in the first position.
- the position of the actuating element can then be deduced.
- transponder Due to the individual transponder identification, the use of a transponder inherently has a higher level of security against manipulation and incorrect detection than, for example, fork light barriers and other previously known detector elements. Since the communication between the transponder and reading unit is also dynamic, i.e. is to be repeated continuously, any malfunction within the safety switch is automatically recognized.
- the new safety switch can therefore be tested for its functionality in an "electronic" manner, which at least in principle makes it possible to reduce the manual function checks that have been customary up to now, or even to omit them entirely.
- the new safety switch also has the advantage that the use of contact-based detector elements can be dispensed with, which is why the new safety switch can work without wear.
- a switching element with contacts can continue to be used as the detector element, in particular in order to maintain compatibility with previous safety switches. In this case, furthermore, a diversified redundancy would be created, which enables a further increased functional reliability.
- the new safety switch can be easily connected wirelessly to a higher-level evaluation unit due to the existing transponder identification. This reduces the amount of cabling, especially in large systems.
- the first position represents the rest position of the actuating element.
- the transponder is arranged on the movable actuating element.
- the transponder is preferably designed as a passive transponder.
- Passive transponders ie those that are capable of working without their own energy source, have long been commercially available. borrowed. They are used, for example, in immobilizers in motor vehicles or in factory farming to identify the individual animals. Due to the high number of pieces involved, passive transponders are available as inexpensive components. A passive transponder can be attached to the movable actuating element very easily, for example by gluing, which enables inexpensive production. In addition, the position of the control element can be determined very reliably in this embodiment, since the transponder inevitably moves with the control element.
- the new safety switch has a first shielding element for the selective shielding of electromagnetic signals, the shielding element and the transponder and / or the reading unit being movable relative to one another depending on the actuating element.
- the propagation path of electromagnetic waves, on which the wireless communication between the transponder and reading unit is based can be deliberately limited.
- the response behavior of the new safety switch is controlled in this embodiment, which contributes to a further increase in functional safety.
- the detectable switching path of the actuating element can be significantly reduced, so that the first and second positions, which must be differentiated from one another, can be very close to one another in space.
- the size of the new safety switch can be reduced.
- the higher sensitivity leads to a faster and thus also safer function.
- the first shielding element has a recess which, in the first position of the actuating element, lies on an essentially straight connecting line between the transponder and the reading unit.
- the first shielding element acts as a pinhole, through which the communication between the transponder and the reading unit takes place. If you move only one of the three elements, i.e. either the transponder and / or the reading unit and / or the recess of the shielding element, relative to the others, the communication breaks off very quickly.
- the switching behavior of the new safety switch can be determined very precisely by suitable dimensioning of the recess (“pinhole”).
- pinhole suitable dimensioning of the recess
- the first shielding element is arranged on the actuating element.
- the first shielding element can then be rigidly attached to the actuating element, for example, so that it follows its movements.
- the first shielding element can also be part of the actuating element, i.e. the actuating element then also acts as the first shielding element.
- the coupling of the shielding element and the actuating element is a simple way of tearing off the communication between the transponder and the reading unit by moving the actuating element.
- the control element acts as it were essen as a gate that only opens a communication path between the transponder and reader unit when it is open, but not when it is closed.
- the configuration has the advantage that both the transponder and the reading unit can be arranged in a fixed position in the safety switch, which increases the degrees of freedom in practical implementation. In particular, this makes it possible to optimize the response behavior by selecting the distance between the transponder and the reading unit.
- the first shielding element has a section which runs essentially transversely to a direction of movement of the adjusting element and has an opening for the passage of the adjusting element.
- the actuating element dips to a certain extent when the safety switch is actuated into an area shielded from the first shielding element. Since the first shielding element, in contrast to the actuating element, can be rigidly fastened to a carrier or housing wall, the shielding element can be made relatively large. The shielding effect can therefore advantageously be optimized with regard to maximum functional reliability.
- the first shielding element has a signal path for the defined transmission of an electromagnetic signal.
- This embodiment is based on the idea of providing only a single defined transmission path for the communication between the transponder and the reading unit, instead of to block possible undesired transmission paths afterwards with a shielding element.
- the signal path can be implemented, for example, in the form of a waveguide, from which the transmitted signals can only emerge at specific points. This measure enables a particularly high level of functional reliability to be achieved.
- the transponder is arranged in a second shielding element, preferably in a shielding socket that is open on one side.
- the reading unit has a receiving coil which is arranged in a third shielding element.
- the functional safety of the new safety switch can be further increased by these two configurations, since the radiation or reception characteristics of the transponder and the reading unit are focused on an even narrower range. In particular, this measure can prevent communication via side lobes from occurring in the respective radiation characteristics.
- the response accuracy of the new safety switch is further increased.
- the shielding elements are electrically conductive, non-ferromagnetic shielding elements, preferably made of aluminum, copper, silver, gold or a combination thereof.
- electromagnetic waves can also be generated by magnetically active shielding elements, such as Ferrites.
- magnetically active shielding elements such as Ferrites.
- electrically conductive, magnetically largely ineffective shielding elements are more effective.
- the shielding can therefore be carried out more precisely. Functional safety is further increased.
- the new safety switch has a switching element with the aid of which the reading out of the transponder identifier can be specifically suppressed.
- This switching element is preferably arranged in the region of the reading unit.
- a test function can be implemented in a simple manner.
- this makes it possible for a higher-level control unit to cyclically suppress the reading of the transponder identifier in order to check whether the new safety switch responds accordingly.
- the training enables the safety circuit of the new safety switch to be designed in a single channel, so that fewer components and installation space are required.
- the manual function check carried out with previous safety switches can be carried out automatically in this embodiment, which simplifies compliance with specified standards and the acceptance of the new safety switch.
- the safety switch has a pressure sensor, with the aid of which an actuating pressure on the control element can be detected.
- the actuation of the new safety switch can be redundant for the evaluation of the position of the actuator can be recognized.
- the functional reliability is accordingly further increased.
- such a pressure sensor offers the possibility of detecting an actuation of the new safety switch even when the actuating element is jammed, for example, or is otherwise prevented from moving.
- the new safety switch could therefore also be used in areas where heavy soiling occurs, for example in painting systems that can impair mechanical operation.
- the adjusting element is made of a corrosion-free material and / or is encapsulated dust-free.
- Figure 1 is a simplified representation of an automated system in which an embodiment of the new safety switch is used.
- FIGS 2 and 3 an embodiment of the new safety switch in two different operating positions.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 shows a simplified circuit diagram of the transponder and the reading unit in the safety switch from FIGS. 2 and 3;
- 5 and 6 show a further exemplary embodiment of the new safety switch in two different operating states
- Fig. 1 an automated system, in which an embodiment of the new safety switch is used, is designated in its entirety by reference number 10.
- the system 10 here includes, by way of example, a robot 12.
- the invention is not restricted to this and can be used in all systems where mechanically operated safety switches are used.
- the robot 12 is connected to a power supply 18 in a manner known per se via two contactors 14, 16.
- the normally open contacts of the contactors 14, 16 are in series with one another in order to implement redundant disconnection paths.
- the contactors 14, 16 are controlled by a safety switching device 20 or another suitable safety controller.
- An emergency stop switch 22 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention is connected on the input side to the safety switching device 20. Use as an emergency stop switch is a preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention. However, the invention is not limited to this and can equally be applied to other mechanically operated (one-piece) safety switches.
- the emergency stop switch 22 supplies an output signal to the safety switching device 20 via a connection 24 and receives a control signal 28 with test pulses 30 via a second connection 26.
- the safety switching device 20 thus has the option of opening the emergency stop switch 22 to check its functionality, as will be explained in more detail below. If the safety switching device 20 detects an undefined or unsafe state due to the connection 24 to the emergency stop switch 22 or if the emergency stop switch 22 is operated manually and a corresponding signal is sent to the safety switching device 20 via the connection 24, the safety switching device 20 switches over the contactors 14, 16 the robot 12.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show the emergency stop switch 22 in its two possible operating states. Fig. 2 shows the emergency stop switch 22 in the unactuated state, ie the idle state. Fig. 3 shows the emergency stop switch 22 after actuation. With the actuation, the control button 32 of the emergency stop switch 22 was pressed down in the direction of the arrow 34. The associated movement stroke is indicated in FIG. 3 at reference number 36.
- the emergency stop switch 22 has an actuating element 38 rigidly connected to the control button 32.
- the actuating element 38 is movably mounted in the direction of arrow 34 in a receptacle 40, which in turn is attached to a switch housing 42.
- a commercially available, passive transponder 44 is arranged at the free end of the actuating element 38, the functioning of which is explained in more detail below with reference to FIG.
- the transponder 44 is glued here in a shielding sleeve 46 which surrounds the transponder 44 in a tubular shape and is only open on one side (namely the left side in FIGS. 2 and 3).
- Reference number 48 denotes a reading unit for reading out the transponder 44.
- the reading unit 48 is sometimes also referred to in the technical terminology as a tag reader, and it has a receiving coil 50 on its side facing the transponder 44, via which it communicates wirelessly with the transponder 44.
- the reference numeral 52 designates an evaluation logic which controls the reading unit 48 and receives its output signals. Deviating from this functional block-like representation Position, the reading unit 48 can also be connected to the receiving coil 50 and the evaluation logic 52 in a combined circuit.
- Reference number 54 denotes a connection socket for connecting the connections 24, 26 (FIG. 1).
- the use of a transponder according to the invention also makes it possible for the emergency stop switch 22 to communicate wirelessly with the safety switching device 20 or with a corresponding safety controller.
- the reference numeral 56 denotes a shielding element which surrounds the actuating element 38 in the manner of a sleeve.
- the shielding element 56 has a recess 58 which is arranged such that when the emergency stop switch 22 is in the idle state it lies on an imaginary connecting line 60 between the reading unit 48 (more precisely its receiving coil 50) and the transponder 44. As a result, wireless communication between the transponder 44 and the reading unit 48 is possible in the idle state of the emergency stop switch 22, which is indicated in FIG. 2 by the reference number 62.
- the adjusting element 38 is in the position shown in FIG. 3, the transponder 44, the receiving coil 50 and the recess 58 are no longer on a straight connecting line. Because of the shielding element 56, there can therefore be no communication between the reading unit 48 and the transponder 44. The breakdown of the communication is recognized by the evaluation logic 52 and communicated to the safety switching device 20 via the connection 24. This then switches off the robot 12.
- the actuating element 38 with the transponder 44 moves relative to the fixed reading unit 48 and the likewise fixed shielding element 56.
- the reading unit 48 and / or the shielding element 56 can be moved via the actuator 38.
- the clear inner diameter of the sleeve-shaped shielding element 56 is only slightly larger than the outer diameter of the actuating element 38.
- the shielding element 56 in conjunction with the shielding sleeve 46 forms an almost closed shielding of the transponder 44, if that Adjustment element 38 is in the position shown in FIG. 3.
- the shielding bushing 46 and the shielding element 56 are preferably at least partially made of electrically conductive materials, here in particular copper or aluminum.
- the reference numeral 62 denotes a pressure sensor in FIG. 2, which is arranged in the operating button 32 in a modified exemplary embodiment.
- the output signal of the pressure sensor 62 is fed to the evaluation logic 52 in order to provide a second way of detecting an actuation.
- the transponder 44 and the reading unit 48 are shown in a simplified electrical circuit diagram.
- the same reference numerals designate the same elements as before.
- the transponder 44 has, in a manner known per se, a transmitting and receiving coil 66 and a memory in which one individual transponder identifier 68 is stored.
- the reading unit 48 is a commercially available integrated circuit for reading out the transponder identifier 68.
- the reading unit 48 is connected to an oscillating circuit which contains the already mentioned receiving coil 50 and a capacitance 70 arranged in parallel therewith.
- a transistor 72 is arranged between the coil 50 and the capacitance 70, with the aid of which the resonant circuit can be opened and thus rendered inoperable.
- the transistor 72 acts as a test element, with the aid of which the reading out of the transponder identifier 68 can be “electronically” suppressed.
- the transistor 72 could also be connected in such a way that it detects the resonant circuit comprising the coil 50 and the capacitance 70 from the reading unit 48 separates what is indicated at reference numeral 70 '.
- the reading unit 48 generates an electromagnetic interrogation signal in a manner known per se with the aid of the oscillating circuit 50, 70. If the transponder 44 is close enough to the oscillating circuit 50, 70, it is activated by the signal and in turn sends a signal which carries the individual transponder identifier 68 as information. This response signal, indicated in FIG. 4 by the reference number 74, is received via the resonant circuit 50, 70 and made available to the reading unit 48 for evaluation. The reading unit 58 reads the individual transponder identifier 68 from the response signal 74 and makes it available to a microprocessor 78 via a connection 76.
- the microprocessor 78 has a comparison value in an internal memory 80, by means of which it can check whether the transponder identifier 68 read out corresponds to the expected th value matches. If this is the case, the microprocessor 78 outputs a corresponding output signal 84 at an output 86 via an amplifier circuit 82. The output signal 84 is fed to the safety switching device 22 via the connection 24.
- reading out the transponder identifier 68 in this arrangement only works as long as the transponder 44 is close enough to the transmitting and receiving circuit of the reading unit 48.
- a maximum distance within which it is possible to read out the transponder identifier 68 is indicated in FIG. 4 at reference number 88.
- the transponder 44 and the transmitting and receiving circuit comprising the coil 50 and the capacitance 70 are arranged with respect to one another such that the maximum distance 88 in the second position (FIG. 3) of the actuating element 38 is exceeded.
- the transponder 44 is close enough to the reading unit 48 when the actuating element 38 is in the first position (FIG. 2).
- the communication between the transponder 44 and the reading unit 48 breaks off. This is detected by the microprocessor 78 and reported to the safety switching device 22 via the connection 24.
- Reference number 90 in FIG. 4 denotes a test input via which the safety switching device 20 can switch the transistor 72 on or off. Since the response signal 74 is no longer generated when the transistor 72 is switched off and can reach the reading unit 48, this corresponds to the situation in which the transponder 44 is removed from the area of the reading unit 48 has been. Accordingly, the microprocessor 78 must react in exactly the same way as in the case that the actuating element 38 has been moved. If he does not do this, the safety switching device 22 can recognize this from the output signal 84 and can switch off the robot 12 as a precaution.
- the emergency stop switch 22 has its own supply voltage, which is provided here via a voltage regulator circuit 92. This makes it possible to operate the new emergency stop switch 22 with different external supply voltages, which simplifies its installation in extensive systems.
- a further exemplary embodiment of the new safety switch is designated in its entirety by reference number 100.
- the safety switch 100 is again shown as an emergency stop switch.
- the same reference numerals designate the same elements as before.
- the safety switch 100 has a shielding element 102 which is essentially plate-shaped here. This is arranged essentially transversely to the direction of movement 34 of the actuating element 38 and has an opening 104 for the passage of the actuating element 38.
- the transponder 44 is in turn attached to the free end of the actuating element 38.
- Evaluation logic 52 is arranged with the reading unit 48 (not shown here) and the receiving coil 50. In this position For example, communication can take place between the transponder 44 and the reading unit 48, ie the reading unit 48 reads the individual transponder identifier cyclically from the transponder 44.
- the transponder 44 After actuation of the actuating element 38, on the other hand, the transponder 44 is located below the shielding element 102. In addition, the opening 104 is then closed by the actuating element 38. As a result, the transponder 44 is then shielded from the reading unit 48. No communication can take place (indicated at reference number 106; for clarification, it should be pointed out that no signals are emitted from a passive transponder 44 in this position, but instead the receiving coil 50 continues to send interrogation pulses). As an alternative to the illustration shown here, the shielding element 102 could also be cup-shaped, the adjusting element 38 “dipping” into the corresponding pot in the second position.
- a further exemplary embodiment of the new safety switch is designated in its entirety by the reference number 120.
- both the reading unit with the receiving coil 50 and the transponder 44 are arranged in a stationary manner in the housing 42 of the safety switch 120.
- Both the transponder 44 and the receiving coil 50 are glued in a shielding socket 46 or 122.
- the transponder 44 and the receiving coil 50 lie diametrically opposite one another, the free end of the actuating element 38 being able to dip into the remaining space.
- the actuating element 38 interferes with the communication between transpose 44 and reading unit 48 are not. Accordingly, the reading unit 48 can read out the transponder identifier cyclically.
- the free end of the actuating element 38 closes the two shielding sockets 46, 122, as a result of which the communication between transponder 44 and reading unit 48 is interrupted.
- both the transponder 44 and the receiving coil 50 of the reading unit 48 are arranged on the movable actuating element 38.
- a shielding element 126 is designed such that it provides a signal path 128 via which the reading unit and the transponder can communicate with one another when the actuating element 38 is in the position shown in FIG. 9.
- the transponder 44 and the receiving coil 50 of the reading unit no longer connect to the signal path 28. Therefore, the communication breaks off again, which is correspondingly detected by the evaluation logic 52.
- such a signal path can in principle also be used if the transponder and / or the reading unit are arranged separately from the actuating element.
- the adjusting element 38 itself is designed in such a way that the passage of electromagnetic signals hinders or is at least damped.
- various materials are known to the relevant experts here, which have sufficient attenuation at the respective frequency.
- an electrically conductive but non-magnetic material such as aluminum, copper, silver or gold is preferably used.
- the copper cladding of a commercially available printed circuit board can be used well.
