Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen zeitgesteuerten und/oder manuell beaufschlagbaren Schalthebel mit einer, mittels eines Zahnrichtgesperres einstellbaren Vorrichtung zur Einstellung des Schaltpunktes eines elektrischen Schalters, für elektromechanische Schaltuhren.The invention relates to a time-controlled and / or manually actuable switching lever with a device for setting the switching point of an electrical switch, which can be set by means of a tooth straightening lock, for electromechanical timers.
Bei elektrischen Schaltern, insbesondere sogenannten Sprungkontaktschaltern, bei denen unter der Wirkung eines Federelementes ein Kontaktelement momentan umschaltbar ist, ist es aufgrund insbesondere von mechanischen Toleranzen einerseits innerhalb des Schalters und andererseits innerhalb der mechanischen Konstruktion zwischen den Schaltnocken der Schaltreiter und dem Schaltnocken des Schalters, erforderlich, daß diese Toleranzen eliminiert und der Schaltpunkt des Schalters reproduzierbar präzise einstellbar ist, sodaß eine relativ hohe Schaltzeitgenauigkeit erzielt wird. Dabei soll sichergestellt sein, daß die Einstellung des Schaltpunktes einfach und rationell möglich ist, und daß die Vorrichtung für diese Einstellung einfach, präzise und wirtschaftlich herstellbar ist.In the case of electrical switches, in particular so-called snap-action switches, in which a contact element can currently be switched under the action of a spring element, it is necessary on the one hand within the switch and, on the other hand, within the mechanical construction between the switch cam of the switch tab and the switch cam of the switch due to mechanical tolerances that these tolerances are eliminated and the switch point of the switch is reproducibly and precisely adjustable, so that a relatively high switching time accuracy is achieved. It should be ensured that the setting of the switching point is simple and efficient, and that the device for this setting is simple, precise and economical to manufacture.
Bei einer bekanntgewordenen Einstellvorrichtung ist auf einem Schalthebel ein Schaltnocken längsverschiebbar gelagert, der mit einer schiefen Ebene versehen ist, zur Einstellung des Schaltpunktes des elektrischen Schalters einer elektromechanischen Schaltuhr. Für eine feinstufige und lagengesicherte Einstellung des Schaltnockens auf dem Schalthebel, ist dort zwischen dem Schalthebel und dem Schaltnocken ein relativ feinstufiges Zahnrichtgesperre vorgesehen. Babei ist auf dem Schalthebel eine mehrstufige Verzahnung und am Schaltnocken ein Federrastzahn vorgesehen, der mit der Verzahnung auf dem Schalthebel in Eingriff steht.In a setting device which has become known, a switching cam, which is provided with an inclined plane, is mounted on a switching lever so as to be longitudinally displaceable, for setting the switching point of the electrical switch of an electromechanical timer. For a fine-tuned and positionally secure setting of the switch cam on the switch lever, a relatively fine-stage gear locking mechanism is provided there between the switch lever and the switch cam. In this case, a multi-stage toothing is provided on the shift lever and a spring detent tooth is provided on the shift cam, which engages with the toothing on the shift lever.
Diese Einstellvorrichtung ist mit dem Nachteil behaftet, daß die Bedienbarkeit bei der Einstellung des Schaltpunktes aufgrund des räumlich relativ kleinen Schaltnockens kompliziert und unwirtschaftlich ist. Außerdem eignet sich eine derartige Einstellvorrichtung aus denselben Gründen nicht bei einem Einsatz von Montageautomaten.This setting device has the disadvantage that the operability when setting the switching point is complicated and uneconomical due to the spatially relatively small switching cam. In addition, such an adjustment device is not suitable for the same reasons when automatic assembly machines are used.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schalthebel mit einer Vorrichtung zur Einstellung des Schaltpunktes eines elektrischen Schalters zu schaffen, der einfach, präzise und wirtschaftlich herstellbar und zur Einstellung des Schaltpunktes einfach und wirtschaftlich sowohl manuell, als auch maschinell bedienbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide a shift lever with a device for adjusting the switching point of an electrical switch that is simple, precise and economical to manufacture and simple and economical to operate the switching point both manually and mechanically.
