Definitions

  • the invention relates to an auxiliary switch for an electrical application combining rotary and linear elements.
  • the present invention relates to an auxiliary switch for an electrical application, and an electrical application comprising an auxiliary switch.
  • Auxiliary switches may be low voltage switches directly operated by an operating mechanism of an electrical equipment such as a circuit breaker. They are described in the IEC Standard 62271-1 under clause 5.4.4.5.
  • the auxiliary switch may be a switch with linear push-pull operation and a switch with rotary motion.
  • EP 1 715 500 B1 describes an auxiliary switch for a low voltage distributor which can be opened or closed by an actuating device adapted to contact butt contacts.
  • DE 101 18 919 A1 describes an installation switch with a thereto attachable auxiliary switch with movable butt contacts which are supported in a contact carrier which is coupled to an arm of a rotatable supported double arm lever.
  • the other arm is coupled to a movable element of the installation device.
  • the auxiliary switch comprises a control arrangement which is coupled to the contact carrier such that in an actuation of the control arrangement the contact carrier is moved without moving the double arm lever.
  • an auxiliary switch for an electrical application comprising a first contact device and a second contact device adapted for conducting current and attached to a bridge component of the auxiliary switch in parallel spaced apart from each other by a first distance in a longitudinal direction of a longitudinal side of the bridge component.
  • An actuating shaft of the auxiliary switch is adapted to rotate the bridge component from a switch-off position to a switch-on position in a switch-on direction around a shaft axis of the shaft by a switch-on rotary motion applied to the actuating shaft such that the first contact device and the second contact device are adapted to slidingly contact conducting terminals of the electrical application such that a current flow between the first contact device and the second contact device is provided.
  • the auxiliary switch combines rotary and linear elements enabling a rotary sliding contact engagement with fixed conducting terminals of the electrical application.
  • Such an auxiliary switch may be advantageous compared to a solely linear actuated switch, since it may have a longer lifespan and provides for a possibility to adapt the breaking capability of the auxiliary switch according to a required breaking capability at defined levels of auxiliary voltages. Gaps between the first contact device and a respective conducting terminal of the electrical application and between the second contact device and another respective conducting terminal of the application may be increased in dependence of the ratio of the access points of the movable first and second contact devices using the same stroke or actuation of the actuating shaft. Thus, the breaking capability may be adapted to an auxiliary voltage while keeping the actuation from the external mechanism unchanged. An optimum breaking capability might be achieved at high auxiliary voltages, since the stroke of the actuating shaft of the switch may be adapted to a gap distance between the conducting terminals and the first and second contact devices in the open position depending on the level of the auxiliary voltages.
  • a sliding effect may be provided between the first and the second contact device and each of the fixed conducting terminals, which may enable a cleaning of the first and second contact devices during a switch-on actuation of the auxiliary switch such that a self-cleaning effect of the first and second contact surfaces may be obtained.
  • Such an auxiliary switch with a first and second contact device with sliding engagement of the fixed terminals of the electrical application may provide a different carrying and different breaking area at the first and second contact devices such that the contacts do not wear out as fast and the contact resistance may not increase as fast as for a switch with linear push and pull operation of an auxiliary switch with butt contacts after electrical operations at full breaking current.
  • the first contact device is adapted to contact a first conducting terminal of the electrical application and the second contact device is adapted to contact a second conducting terminal of the electrical application such that a current flow between the first contact device and the second contact device is provided.
  • the first contact device and the second contact device may be a one part component.
  • the auxiliary switch is a low voltage switch and the electrical application is a low voltage electrical application and the auxiliary switch may be adapted to be operated by an operating mechanism of an electrical equipment such as a circuit breaker according to a further aspect.
  • the actuating shaft of the auxiliary switch is adapted to rotate the bridge component from the switch-on position to the switch-off position in a switch-off direction around the shaft axis by a switch-off rotary motion applied to the actuating shaft.
  • the first contact device and the second contact device may be normally-closed (NC)-contacts, wherein the first and second contacts are in sliding contact with respective conducting terminals of the electrical application such that a current flow between the first contact device and the second contact device is provided when a switch is switched off. If the switch is switched on, the current flow may be interrupted and a respective circuit disconnected.
  • NC normally-closed
  • the first contact device and the second contact device may be normally-opened (NO)-contacts, wherein the first and second contacts are not in contact with respective conducting terminals of the electrical application and slidingly contact the respective terminals in a switch-on position such that a current flow between the first contact device and the second contact device is provided when switching on the switch.
  • NO normally-opened
  • the auxiliary switch further comprises a connection device which is adapted to electrically attach to the first contact device and to the second contact device such that a conducting connection is provided between the first contact device and the second contact device.
  • the first contact device of the auxiliary switch comprises a first curved blade which is curved outwardly away from the second contact device.
  • the second contact device comprises a third curve blade with a third curved surface which is curved inwardly towards the first contact device.
  • the first curved blade comprises a first curved face facing the second contact device and is adapted to provide a sliding contact with a first conducting terminal of the electrical application at a first sliding contact region of the first curved face when the actuating shaft is actuated by the switch-on rotary motion.
  • the third curved blade comprises a third curved face averted to the first contact device and is adapted to provide a sliding contact with a second conducting terminal of the electrical application at a third sliding contact region of the third curved face when the actuating shaft is actuated by the switch-on rotary motion.
  • the first curved blade may be curved inward towards the second contact device and the first curved face may be averted to the second contact device.
  • the third curved blade may be curved outward away from the first contact device and the third curved face may face the first contact device.
  • the first curved blade has at least one first radius of curvature and at least one first center of curvature located in a first region at a first side extending from the first contact device in a direction averted to the second contact device.
  • the third curved blade may have at least one third radius of curvature and at least one third center of curvature located in a third region at a third side extending from the second contact device in a direction towards the first contact device.
  • the first contact device comprises a second curved blade which is curved inward towards the second contact device with an opposite curvature compared to the curvature of the first curved blade such that a first opening is provided between the first curved blade and the second curved blade, which first opening is adapted to receive the first conducting terminal when the actuating shaft is actuated by the switch-on rotary motion.
  • the second contact device comprises a fourth curved blade which is curved outward away from the first contact device with an opposite curvature compared to the curvature of the third curved blade such that a second opening is provided between the third curved blade and the fourth curved blade, which second opening is adapted to receive the second conducting terminal when the actuating shaft is actuated by the switch-on rotary motion.
  • the second curved blade comprises a second curved face facing the first curved face and is adapted to provide a sliding contact with a first conducting terminal of the electrical application at a second sliding contact region of the second curved face when the actuating shaft is actuated by the switch-on rotary motion.
  • the fourth curved blade comprises a fourth curved face facing the third curved face and is adapted to provide a sliding contact with the second conducting terminal of the electrical application at a fourth sliding contact region of the fourth curved face when the actuating shaft is actuated by the switch-on rotary motion.
  • Such an auxiliary switch with first and second curved blades and third and fourth curved blades may provide for a longer lifespan of the first and second contact devices compared to a switch with a linear push-pull operation because of the sliding engagement between the fixed conducting terminals and the first and second sliding contact regions which are different from a breaking current area at the edges of the first and second curved blades and the third and fourth curved blades facing the fixed first and second conducting terminals.
  • the first contact device and the second contact device may wear out slower compared to a switch with linear push-pull operation with butt contacts since the contact resistance in the sliding contact areas may not be increased after electrical operations at full breaking current since a self-cleaning effect of the first and second curved blades and the third and fourth curved blades at the sliding contact areas may be achieved during a switch-on rotary motion when contacting the first and second conducting terminals. Insulating debris and wear may not be pressed into the contacts and therefore may not give conducting problems especially at low currents and low voltages as is the case for a switch with linear push and pull operation and butt contacts.
  • the moving bridge component with two breaking gaps between the first contact device and the first conducting terminal and the second contact device and the second conducting terminal in series may comprise two parallel spring blades which are adapted for conducting current and which may be spread apart by the fixed contacts when engaging the fixed contacts and may provide a necessary contact force acting on the first conducting terminal and the second conducting terminal by the blades.
  • the contact force of curved blades comprising a beryllium copper alloy or any other conducting material providing the required contact spring properties may be in a region of 0.5 N to 1.0 N, in particular 0.89 N for the first and second curved blades, respectively the third and fourth curved blades.
  • the resistance of each blade may be in a region ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 ⁇ , in particular 1.6 ⁇ .
  • the bridge component may be a smart designed plastic part accommodating the first and second curved blade and the third and fourth curved blade and also may provide a transmission between the actuating shaft and the switch-on and switch-off rotary motion.
  • the switch-on rotary motion may provide a sliding effect between the first and second curved blade and the first fixed conducting terminal and the third and fourth curved blade and the second fixed conducting terminal, which may clean sliding contact regions of the first and second curved blade and of the third and fourth curved blade.
  • the current carrying area may not be disturbed by the breaking action which keeps the resistance of the sliding contacts, and the blades, respectively, low even after frequent switching.
  • NO- and NC-contacts may be used in the same auxiliary switch by using two different versions of the fixed conducting terminal parts.
  • the auxiliary switch according to the invention contains very few parts and may be simple to assemble, such that labour costs may be reduced.
