Description
Kontakthebelbaugruppe für einen Niederspannungs-Leistungsschalter
5Contact lever assembly for a low-voltage circuit breaker
5
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kontakthebelbaugruppe für einen Niederspannungs-Leistungsschalter mit einem Träger aus Isolierstoff und mit mehreren an dem Träger parallel zueinander mit gegenseitigem Abstand angeordneten und schwenbkar gelagerten Kontakthebeln. Eine Kontakthebelbaugruppe dieser Art ist z. B. durch die EP 0 410 902 Al bekanngtgeworden. Eine der Möglichkeiten, den gegenseitigen Abstand der Kontakthebel aufrechtzuerhalten, bestecht darin, an dem Träger Rippen oder Stege anzuformen, die zwischen die Kontakthebel eingreifen. Dabei besteht die Schwierigkeit, daß der zur Herstellung des Trägers benutzte Kunststoff es nicht zuläßt, die Stege mit einer gewünschten geringen Wandstärke herzustellen.The invention relates to a contact lever assembly for a low-voltage circuit breaker with a carrier made of insulating material and with several contact levers arranged parallel to one another at a distance from one another and pivotably mounted on the carrier. A contact lever assembly of this type has become known, for example, from EP 0 410 902 A1. One of the possibilities for maintaining the mutual distance between the contact levers is to form ribs or webs on the carrier which engage between the contact levers. The difficulty here is that the plastic used to produce the carrier does not allow the webs to be produced with the desired low wall thickness.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Breite der Kontakthebelbaugruppe auf ein notwendiges Maß zu beschränken und hierzu den Abstand der Kontakthebel lediglich mit Rücksicht auf die gewünschte gegenseitige Isolation zu bemessen.The invention is based on the object of limiting the width of the contact lever assembly to a necessary dimension and, for this purpose, measuring the distance between the contact levers only with regard to the desired mutual insulation.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß zur Aufrechterhaltung des gegenseitigen Abstandes der Kontakthebel an dem Träger ein gleichfalls aus isolierendem Kunststoff bestehender, jedoch gesondert hergestellter Abstandshalter angebracht ist, der zwischen die Kontakthebel eingreifende Trennstege aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that, in order to maintain the mutual distance between the contact levers, a spacer is attached to the carrier, which is also made of insulating plastic but is manufactured separately and has separating webs engaging between the contact levers.
Die Einbeziehung der Trennstege in einen gesonderten Körper gibt die Möglichkeit, eine zur Herstellung geringer Wandstärken besser geeigneten Kunststoff, insbesondere einen thermoplastischen Kunststoff, einzusetzen. Zur HerstellungThe inclusion of the separating webs in a separate body makes it possible to use a plastic that is better suited to the production of thin walls, in particular a thermoplastic.

des Trägers eignet sich demgegenüber ein mit Füllstoffen versetzter duroplastischer Kunststoff, der eine wesentlich
höhere Festigkeit erreicht. Diese ist jedoch für die Trennstege nicht erforderlich.
5In contrast, a thermosetting plastic with fillers is suitable for the carrier, as it achieves a much higher strength. However, this is not necessary for the dividers.

Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann der Abstandshalter über Seitenflächen des Trägers greifende Wangen besitzen, die eine zur Aufnahme eines Lagerbolzens der Kontakthebel dienende Bohrung überdecken und hierdurch den Lagerbolzen gegen axiale Verschiebung sichern. Auf diese Weise wird die Montage der Kontakthebelbaugruppe erleichtert.Within the scope of the invention, the spacer can have cheeks that engage over side surfaces of the carrier, cover a hole used to accommodate a bearing pin of the contact lever and thereby secure the bearing pin against axial displacement. In this way, the assembly of the contact lever assembly is made easier.
Ferner kann der Abstandshalter einen in Richtung eines mit den Kontakthebeln zusammenwirkenden Gegenkontakt vorspringende Nase aufweisen. Diese bewirkt eie Abdichtung des Schalträumes des Leistungsschalter gegen ein Entwichung von Schaltgasen in einer unerwünschten Richtung.Furthermore, the spacer can have a nose that protrudes in the direction of a counter contact that interacts with the contact levers. This seals the switching chamber of the circuit breaker against the escape of switching gases in an undesirable direction.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand des in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the embodiment shown in the figures.
Die Figur 1 zeigt eine Kontakthebelbaugruppe teilweise im Schnitt.Figure 1 shows a contact lever assembly partially in section.
Die Figur 2 ist eine Ansicht der Kontakthebelbaugruppe gemäß der Figur 1 mit Blick auf einen Abstandshalter.Figure 2 is a view of the contact lever assembly according to Figure 1 looking towards a spacer.
Ein Abstandshalter ist gesondert in der Figur 3 in der Draufsicht und in der Figur 4 im Schnitt dargestellt.A spacer is shown separately in Figure 3 in plan view and in Figure 4 in section.
Die in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigte Kontakthebe!baugruppe 1 weist einen Träger 2 aus isolierendem Kunststoff für parallel zueinander angeordnete Kontakthebel 3 auf. Ein Lagerbolzen durchsetzt die Kontakthebel 3 sowie Seitenwände 5, die den Träger 2 zwischen sich einfassen.The contact lifting assembly 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a carrier 2 made of insulating plastic for contact levers 3 arranged parallel to one another. A bearing bolt passes through the contact levers 3 and side walls 5, which enclose the carrier 2 between them.
95640359564035
Wie näher die Figuren 3 und 4 zeigen, besitzt ein Abstandshalter 6 dünne Trennstege 7, die zwischen die Kontakthebel 3 eingreifen. Hierdurch werden die Kontakthebel 3 in dem erwünschten geringen gegenseitigen Abstand gehalten. Seitliehe Wangen 10 des Abstandshalters 6 übergreifen die Seitenwände 5 derart, daß auch die Bohrungen überdeckt werden, in denen der Lagerbolzen 4 (Figur 1) aufgenommen ist. Öffnungen 11 in den Wangen 10 dienen zur Befestigung des Abstandshalters 6 mittels Schrauben 12 {Figur 1). Ausnehmungen 9 der Trennstege 7 gestatten den Durchtritt des Lagerbolzens 4.As shown in more detail in Figures 3 and 4, a spacer 6 has thin separating webs 7 that engage between the contact levers 3. This keeps the contact levers 3 at the desired small distance from one another. Lateral cheeks 10 of the spacer 6 overlap the side walls 5 in such a way that the holes in which the bearing pin 4 (Figure 1) is accommodated are also covered. Openings 11 in the cheeks 10 serve to fasten the spacer 6 using screws 12 (Figure 1). Recesses 9 in the separating webs 7 allow the bearing pin 4 to pass through.
In den Figuren 1, 3 und 4 ist ferner eine Nase 13 des Abstandshalters 6 gezeigt. Die Nase 13 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Breite des Abstandshalters 6 und springt in Richtung eines Gegenkontaktes vor, mit dem die Kontakthebel 3 zusammenwirken. Beim Öffnen der Schaltkontakte verhindert die Nase 13, daß die von dem Schaltlichtbogen ausgehenden Schaltgase entgegen der gewünschten Richtung entweichen. Damit wird die Bewegung des Schaltlichtbogens in Richtung der oberhalb der Kontakthebelbaugruppe 1 befindlichen Löschkammer des Leistungsschalters beschleunigt.Figures 1, 3 and 4 also show a nose 13 of the spacer 6. The nose 13 extends over the entire width of the spacer 6 and projects in the direction of a counter contact with which the contact levers 3 interact. When the switching contacts are opened, the nose 13 prevents the switching gases emanating from the switching arc from escaping in the opposite direction to the desired direction. This accelerates the movement of the switching arc in the direction of the arcing chamber of the circuit breaker located above the contact lever assembly 1.
Dadurch, daß der Abstandshalter 6 als gesondertes Teil hergestellt ist, kann ein Kunststoff benutzt werden,der sich besonders zur Herstellung dünner Trennstege eignet. Dies ist durch die Verwendung eines thermoplastischen Kunststoffes möglich. Dieser ergibt auch eine relativ gute Biegsamkeit unter dem Einfluß seitlicher Kräfte ohne die Gefahr einer Beschädigung. Dies hat zur Folge, daß die bei hohen Strömen evtl. auftretenden hohen Seitenkräfte ohne Schaden für den Abstandshalter zu den Seitenwänden des Trägers 2 geleitet und von diesem aufgenommen werden. Hierzu ist der Träger dadurch geeignet, daß er aus einem anderen, vorzugsweise mit einem Füllstoff versetzten duroplastischen Kunststoff hergestellt ist.Because the spacer 6 is manufactured as a separate part, a plastic can be used that is particularly suitable for producing thin separating webs. This is possible by using a thermoplastic. This also results in relatively good flexibility under the influence of lateral forces without the risk of damage. This means that the high lateral forces that may occur with high currents are directed to the side walls of the carrier 2 and absorbed by it without damaging the spacer. The carrier is suitable for this because it is manufactured from another thermosetting plastic, preferably mixed with a filler.
