Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet der elektrischen Schalter, und ist bei der konstruktiven Gestaltung von Kontakten mit federnder Halterung anzuwenden.The Invention is in the field of electrical switches in the constructive design of contacts with a spring holder apply.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich dabei auf ein Schaltkontaktsystem für einen elektrischen Schalter mit zumindest einem feststehenden und zumindest einem beweglichen Schaltkontakt, bei dem der zumindest eine bewegliche Schaltkontakt zum Schließen der Schaltkontakte entgegen der Kraft zumindest einer Kontaktkraft-Feder aus einer AUS-Position in eine EIN-Position überführbar ist. Die Erfindung bezieht sich weiterhin auf einen elektrischer Schalter insbesondere Niederspannungs-Leistungs-Schalter mit zumindest einem derartigen Schaltkontaktsystem.The The invention relates to a switch contact system for a electrical switch with at least one fixed and at least one movable switch contact, in which the at least one movable Switch contact for closing the switch contacts against the force of at least one contact force spring can be transferred from an OFF position to an ON position. The invention relates continue to use an electrical switch especially low voltage power switch at least one such switch contact system.

ein gattungsgemäßer elektrischer
Schalter sind beispielsweise aus der Druckschrift
Vorteilhaft ist dabei, dass beispielsweise ein den beweglichen Kontakt treibender Antriebsstrang bei der anfänglichen Berührung der Schaltkontakte weniger stark verzögert wird. Das Schließen der Schaltkontakte erfordert dadurch weniger Energie eines Kraftspeichers.Advantageous is that, for example, a moving contact Powertrain at the initial contact the switching contacts are delayed less. Closing the switch contacts therefore requires less energy from an energy store.
Ausgehend
von einem Schaltkontaktsystem mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes
des Anspruches 1 (
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass die zumindest eine Kontaktkraft-Feder eine progressive Federkennlinie aufweist. – Bei einer derartigen Gestaltung erfolgt eine verlustarme Umsetzung der treibenden Energie beispielsweise eines Federspeichers, da die sich zwischen den Schaltkontakten aufbauenden Kontaktkräfte der Kontaktkraft-Federn im Wesentlichen in einem Maße ansteigen, in dem sich auch die Kraftübertragungsverhältnisse (insbesondere die Hebelverhältnisse) in dem den bewegbaren Schaltkontakt treibenden Antriebsstrang verbessern.This Object is according to the invention solved by that the at least one contact force spring has a progressive spring characteristic having. - At Such a design results in a low-loss implementation of the driving energy, for example, a spring accumulator, because the contact forces building up between the switching contacts Contact force springs essentially to an extent increase in which the power transmission ratios (especially leverage ratios) improve in the drive train driving the movable switching contact.
In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung des neuen Schaltkontaktsystems ist vorgesehen, dass der bewegliche Schaltkontakt an einem Kontaktträger schwenkbar gehalten ist, der zum Schließen der Kontakte aus einer AUS-Stellung in eine EIN-Stellung schwenkbar ist, wobei die zumindest eine Kontaktkraft-Feder zwischen dem beweglichen Schaltkontakt und dem Kontaktträger abgestützt ist.In a preferred embodiment of the new switching contact system is provided, that the movable switch contact can be pivoted on a contact carrier is held to close the contacts can be swiveled from an OFF position to an ON position is, wherein the at least one contact force spring between the movable Switch contact and the contact carrier supported is.
Als bevorzugte Ausführungsform der zumindest einen Kontaktkraft-Feder ist eine einteilige Schraubendruckfeder vorgesehen, die zumindest einen ersten und einen zweiten Wickelabschnitt aufweist, wobei die Federrate des ersten Wickelabschnitts geringer als die Federrate des zweiten Wickelabschnitts ist.As preferred embodiment the at least one contact force spring is a one-piece helical compression spring provided the at least a first and a second winding section has, the spring rate of the first winding section lower than the spring rate of the second winding section.
Bei einem elektrischen Schalter insbesondere einem Niederspannungs-Leistungsschalter, der mit dem neuen Schaltkontaktsystem versehen ist, kann – aufgrund der optimalen Umsetzung der den beweglichen Schaltkontakt treibenden Energie in die Bewegung des beweglichen Schaltkontaktes – beispielsweise ein die treibenden Energie bereitstellender Federspeicher geringer dimensioniert oder bei gleicher Energie auf wesentlich höhere Ströme, insbesondere höhere Kurzschlussströme draufgeschaltet werden.at an electrical switch, in particular a low-voltage circuit breaker, which is provided with the new switch contact system can - due to the optimal implementation of the moving switching contact Energy in the movement of the movable switch contact - for example a spring accumulator providing the driving energy is lower dimensioned or with the same energy to much higher currents, in particular higher Short-circuit currents be switched on.
