Definitions
- Electromechanical switching device and use of an intermediate layer in an electromechanical switching device are Electromechanical switching device and use of an intermediate layer in an electromechanical switching device
- the subject of the invention relates to an electromechanical switching device according to the preamble of claim 1 and use of an intermediate layer in an electromechanical switching device.
- An electromechanical switching device has at least one current input and a corresponding current output and is designed to electrically connect or disconnect the at least one current input to the corresponding current output depending on its switching state.
- the commercially available electromechanical switching devices have for this purpose at least one movable contact and at least one contact slide, wherein the contact slide is formed by its movement to move the at least one movable contact from a first position to a second position so that the switching state of the electromechanical ' switching device changed becomes.
- the object underlying the invention is therefore to provide an electromechanical switching device with a contact slide made of a lightweight material.
- a switching device according to the independent claim 1, namely such that the contact slide comprises thermoplastic material, and that the switching device has an intermediate layer, which is formed, the Ver ⁇ Sticking the contact slide during the movement of the contact slide to prevent.
- thermoplastic material generally has a melting point or point of transition to the non-solid state that is below the temperature of the movable contacts or contact bridge. Consequently, it can happen that the contact slide sticks to the contact piece or to the contact bridge. For this reason, the on-state values for electromechanical switchgear with a contact slide made of thermoplastic in short-circuit tests are higher than the actual achievable values. It is also possible that the bonding reduces the service life of the electromechanical switching device.
- an electromechanical switching device having at least one contact slide, which includes thermoplastic material, equipped with an intermediate layer which is designed to prevent the adhesion of the contact slide during the movement of the contact slide.
- the at least one movable contact is attached to a contact bridge and the contact slide is designed to bring about the movement of the at least one movable contact by moving the contact bridge, it may happen that the contact slide is glued to the contact bridge.
- the invention is useful because the consequences of the bond to the contact bridge can be avoided, especially when the intermediate layer between the contact slide and the contact bridge is arranged.
- the intermediate layer can be fastened to the contact bridge or to the contact slide, preferably by means of an interference fit. This effort can be avoided, which allows a more cost-effective production.
- the intermediate layer can be connected to the contact slide by means of a two- or multi-contact injection molding method.
- the contact slide consists of a thermoplastic material or of several thermoplastic materials.
- the contact slide can be made inexpensively.
- the intermediate layer is advantageously made of metal, preferably of a metal or of an alloy, or of thermosetting plastic or of a thermoplastic superior to the thermoplastic of the contact slide or melting at a higher temperature.
- FIG. 2 shows a contact slide, a contact bridge with two movable contacts and an intermediate layer between the contact bridge and the contact slide, and
- FIG 3 shows a section from the parts shown in FIG 2 in the direction III-III.
- FIG 1 shows a simplified representation of a known from the prior art electromechanical switching device, which is shown in FIG 1 as a circuit breaker 10.
- the power switch has a current input Al and a corresponding current output Tl.
- the common electromechanical switching devices usually have a current input current output pair for each phase of the three-phase current. For the sake of simplicity, only one pair is shown in FIG. 1, but the person skilled in the art understands that an electromechanical switching device is basically designed to switch two or three current phases.
- the circuit breaker 10 is designed to electrically conductively connect or disconnect the current input A1 (or the current inputs A1, A2, A3) from its switching state to the corresponding current output T1 (or to the corresponding current outputs T1, T2, T3) ,
- the power switch 10 as possible for each current phase to be switched at least one movable contact
- the contact slide 23 is formed by its movement to move the at least one movable contact 13, 15 from a first position to a second position so that the switching state of the circuit breaker 10 is changed.
- the contact slide 23 is formed by its movement to move the at least one movable contact 13, 15 from a first position to a second position so that the switching state of the circuit breaker 10 is changed.
- the movable contacts 13, 15 are guided to the corresponding fixed contacts 12, 16 and discharged from them. Since the fixed contact 12 is electrically conductively connected to the input Al and the fixed contact 16 is electrically connected to the output Tl, a changed position of the movable contacts 13, 16 causes the output Tl contacted with the input Al electrically conductive or separated from the input Al.
- a circuit breaker 10 typically has one or more triggers.
- a short-circuit or N-trigger 20 is shown, which generally has a coil 21 and detected in at least one phase line 18, 19 continuous current and generates a trigger mechanism 22, a force F, which acts through a connecting mechanism 26 on the contact slide 23 to open the contacts.
- a circuit breaker 10 may also include an overload release configured to generate a force at a current that is too high for the power switch 10 that acts directly or also through a link mechanism on the contact slide 23 to open the contacts.
- switch lock In a circuit breaker, the force F as well as the tripping force of an overload release on the contact slide 23 normally have an effect via a so-called switch lock, which is composed of relatively complex mechanical parts.
- a switch lock can be used to ensure that the contacts remain disconnected in the event of a short circuit or overload because the contact slide is only released after a reset.
- the contact slide 123 shown in FIG. 2, which, according to the invention, is to replace the previous contact slide 23, contains thermoplastic material.
- the electromechanical switching device according to the invention has an intermediate layer 130, which is designed to prevent the gluing of the contact slide 123 during the movement of the contact slide 123.
- the contact slide 123 is preferably made of a thermoplastic material, preferably of duroplastic, or of a plurality of thermoplastic materials. Then it is advantageous if the intermediate layer 130 consists of metal, preferably of a metal or of an alloy.
- the contact slide 123 can be designed to bring about the movement of at least one of the movable contacts 13, 15 by moving the contact bridge 14. Then it is advantageous if the intermediate layer 130 is arranged between the contact slide 123 and the contact bridge 14. The intermediate layer 130 can be attached either to the contact bridge 14 or to the contact slide 123.
- an intermediate layer 130 is used, which prevents direct contact of the hot contact bridge 14 with the contact slide 123 made of thermoplastic material.
- An intermediate layer 130 may be made of metal, thermoset or a thermoplastic superior to the thermoplastic of the contact slide.
- a higher-grade thermoplastic has a higher melting point or changes to a non-solid state at a higher temperature.
- a metallic interlayer 130 is press-fitted to the contact slide 123, while for an interlayer 130 of thermosetting or higher value thermoplastic, alternatively to use, a two-component injection method may be advantageously employed.
- the thermoset insert prevents sticking of the contact bridge 130, but on the other hand allows the filigree construction of a thermoplastic part.
- Adhesion of the metallic intermediate layer 130 with the contact slide 123 usually occurs, but is in contrast to the direct adhesion of the contact slide 123 to the contact bridge 14 without negative effects on the function of the electromechanical switching device 10th
- an electromechanical switching device may be a limiter.
- a limiter usually has neither an N-trigger nor a switch lock, but only an overload release, so that it is ready for use again after disconnecting the contacts without reset.
- the electromechanical switching device can also be a device that includes a circuit breaker or a limiter together with other functional units.
- a device may be a combined circuit breaker or a compact feeder, which in addition to the functions of a circuit breaker and that of a contactor and possibly also has an overload relay.
