Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Schaltgerät mit einem Gehäuse mit wenigstens drei von jeweils einem beweglichen Kontaktstück und wenigstens einem festen Kontaktstück gebildeten Kontaktstellen, die in zueinander parallel angeordneten Schaltbahnen des Gehäuses jeweils getrennt voneinander angeordnet sind, welche beweglichen Kontaktstücke von einem zugeordneten um eine Schwenkachse bewegbaren Stellglied, zum Beispiel Schaltwippe, beaufschlagbar sind, welches Stellglied das zugeordnete bewegliche Kontaktstück von einer ersten Schaltstellung in eine zweite Schaltstellung bewegt.The invention relates to an electrical switching device with a housing with at least three contact points each formed by a movable contact piece and at least one fixed contact piece, which are arranged separately from one another in mutually parallel switching paths of the housing, which movable contact pieces by an associated actuator movable about a pivot axis , for example switching rocker, can be acted upon, which actuator moves the associated movable contact piece from a first switching position into a second switching position.
Sogenannte Serienschalter sind seit langem bekannt. Serienschalter sind Schalter mit wenigstens zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Schaltbahnen, in denen jeweils separate Kontaktstellen angeordnet sind, die unabhängig voneinander betätigbar sind,. Hierbei ist jeder Schaltbahn ein Betätigungselement, zum Beispiel eine Schaltwippe oder eine Kipphebel, zugeordnet, das eine unabhängige Schaltbetätigung der betreffenden Kontaktstelle und damit des betreffenden Stromkreises ermöglicht. Sollen unterschiedliche Stromkreise gleichzeitig geschaltet werden, so ist dies möglich, indem die betreffenden Betätigungselemente gleichzeitig beaufschlagt werden. Ein synchrones Schalten durch Betätigen eines einzigen Betätigungselementes ist nicht möglich. Statt dessen werden in solchen Fällen einfache Ausschalter vorgesehen, bei denen eine Trennung der Stromkreise nicht vorgesehen ist, sondern die einen gemeinsamen Phasenanschluß aufweisen, der mittels einer Kontaktstelle auf einen gegebenenfalls doppelt ausgeführten Ausgang geschaltet wird.So-called series switches have been known for a long time. Series switches are switches with at least two switching tracks arranged next to one another, in each of which separate contact points are arranged which can be actuated independently of one another. Each switching track is assigned an actuating element, for example a rocker switch or a rocker arm, which enables independent switching actuation of the relevant contact point and thus of the relevant circuit. If different circuits are to be switched at the same time, this is possible by applying the relevant actuating elements simultaneously. A synchronous switching by actuating a single actuating element is not possible. Instead, simple switch-offs are provided in such cases, in which a separation of the circuits is not provided, but which have a common phase connection, which by means of a contact point is switched to an output that may be double.
Bei flachen Schaltern für den Unterputzeinbau, das heißt für Schalter mit extrem geringer Einbautiefe, zum Beispiel für den Einbau in dünne Zwischenwände, ergeben sich hinsichtlich ihrer Gestaltung weitere Einschränkungen wegen des geringen Raumangebots, was eine beliebige Gestaltung verhindert.In the case of flat switches for flush mounting, that is to say for switches with an extremely low installation depth, for example for installation in thin partitions, there are further restrictions with regard to their design because of the limited space available, which prevents any design.
Im Dokument "DE-U-18 91 849" wird ein elektrisches Schaltgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 offenbart.In the document "DE-U-18 91 849" an electrical switching device according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Schaltgerät der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß jede Schaltbahn einzeln oder zwei Schaltbahnen gemeinsam schaltbar sind.Starting from this prior art, it is an object of the invention to develop a switching device of the type mentioned in the introduction such that each switching path can be switched individually or two switching paths together.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Verbesserungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of patent claim 1. Further advantageous refinements and improvements of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Entsprechend der Erfindung ist daher vorgesehen, daß jeder Schaltbahn mit darin angeordneten Kontaktstellen ein Stellglied zugeordnet ist, das unabhängig vom benachbarten Stellglied betätigbar ist, daß alle Stellglieder eine gemeinsame Schwenkachse aufweisen und daß jedes Stellglied Schaltnocken aufweist zur Betätigung wenigstens einer Kontaktstelle.According to the invention it is therefore provided that each switching track with contact points arranged therein is assigned an actuator which can be actuated independently of the adjacent actuator, that all actuators have a common pivot axis and that each actuator has switching cams for actuating at least one contact point.
Dabei erweist es sich gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung als vorteilhaft, daß jedes an einer Außenseite angeordnete Stellglied an seiner nach außen weisenden Seite eine Anformung in Verlängerung der Schwenkachse aufweist, die mit einer korrespondierenden Ausnehmung im Gehäuse zusammenarbeitet. Ferner ist hierbei auf der der Anformung gegenüberliegenden Seite des Stellgliedes eine achsengleiche sacklochartige Ausnehmung vorgesehen, in welche eine Steckachse einführbar ist. Außerdem weisen die dazwischen angeordneten Stellglieder eine durchgehende Ausnehmung auf, durch welche die Steckachse hindurchgreift, welche dazu dient, den Abstand zwischen den außen befindlichen Stellgliedern zu überbrücken und so dafür zu sorgen, daß die Stellglieder in ihrer zugewiesenen Lage gehalten sind.According to a preferred further development, it proves to be advantageous that each actuator arranged on an outside has an extension on its outward-facing side which extends with the pivot axis and which cooperates with a corresponding recess in the housing. Furthermore, an axially identical blind hole-like recess is provided on the side of the actuator opposite the molding, into which a thru-axle can be inserted. In addition, the actuators arranged therebetween have a continuous recess through which the thru-axle extends, which serves to bridge the distance between the actuators located on the outside and thus to ensure that the actuators are held in their assigned position.
Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung ist die Steckachse in den sacklochartigen Ausnehmungen der außen angeordneten Stellglieder formschlüssig gehalten, wobei die Schwenkbeweglichkeit der Stellglieder unabhängig voneinander gewährleistet ist.According to an expedient embodiment, the thru-axle is held in a form-fitting manner in the blind hole-like recesses of the actuators arranged on the outside, the pivoting mobility of the actuators is ensured independently of one another.
In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung dieses Merkmals kann die Steckachse in den sacklochartigen Ausnehmungen der außen angeordneten Stellglieder verrastbar sein. So kann wahlweise an der Steckachse oder in der sacklochartigen Ausnehmung im Stellglied eine ringförmige Anformung oder eine Ringnut vorgesehen sein, welche mit einer hierzu kompatiblen Formgebung am jeweiligen Gegenstück zusammenarbeitet, das heißt zum Beispiel, ein an der Steckachse angeformter Ringwulst greift in eine entsprechende Ringnut in der sacklochartigen Ausnehmung ein.In an advantageous development of this feature, the thru-axle can be locked in the blind hole-like recesses of the actuators arranged on the outside. For example, an annular projection or an annular groove can be provided on the thru axle or in the blind hole-like recess in the actuator, which cooperates with a compatible design on the respective counterpart, that is, for example, an annular bead formed on the thru axle engages in a corresponding annular groove the blind hole-like recess.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann ein Stellglied an seiner der Außenseite abgewandten Seite eine die benachbarte Schaltbahn überbrückende und von der Steckachse durchgriffene Anformung aufweisen, an welcher zusätzliche Schaltnocken zur Betätigung der Kontaktstelle in der benachbarten Schaltbahn angeformt sind. Diese Gestaltung erlaubt die wahlweise Verwendung von gleichförmigen Stellgliedern in einem erfindungsgemäßen Schaltgerät, wenn jede Schaltbahn unabhängig voneinander schaltbar ausgebildet sein soll.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, an actuator on its side facing away from the outside can have a molding bridging the adjacent switching path and penetrated by the plug-in axis, on which additional switching cams for actuating the contact point in the adjacent switching path are formed. This design permits the optional use of uniform actuators in a switching device according to the invention if each switching path is to be designed to be switchable independently of one another.
Statt dessen kann aber auch ein einfaches Stellglied sowie ein so bezeichnetes Doppelstellglied entsprechend der vorher beschriebenen Ausgestaltung in ein und demselben Schaltgerät Verwendung finden, welches gleichzeitig die Betätigung zweier benachbarter Schaltbahnen sicherstellt, indem an das mit Schaltnocken versehene Stellglied zusätzlich eine Schaltbrücke angeformt ist mit daran angeformten Schaltnocken für die Betätigung der Kontaktstelle in der benachbarten Schaltbahn.Instead, however, a simple actuator and a so-called double actuator according to the previously described configuration can be used in one and the same switching device, which at the same time ensures the actuation of two adjacent switching tracks, by additionally forming a switching bridge on the actuator provided with switching cams with molded parts thereon Switch cams for actuating the contact point in the adjacent switching path.
Gemäß einer hierzu alternativen Variante kann auch jedes Stellglied an einer Seitenfläche mit Anformungen versehen sein, die mit hierzu kompatiblen Anformungen oder Ausnehmungen an einem benachbarten Stellglied korrespondieren, das heißt mit diesem im formschlüssigen Eingriff sind und gemeinsam betätigbar sind, so daß die Betätigung der beiden quasi miteinander verrasteten Stellglieder synchron erfolgt.
Der Vollständigkeit halber ist darauf hinzuweisen, daß die Stellglieder bevorzugterweise als Schaltwippe ausgebildet sind, was im Hinblick auf eine angestrebte geringe Bauhöhe beziehungsweise Bautiefe vorteilhaft ist.According to an alternative variant, each actuator can also be provided on one side surface with formations which correspond to compatible formings or recesses on an adjacent actuator, that is to say are in positive engagement with the latter and can be actuated together, so that the actuation of the two is virtually interlocked actuators are carried out synchronously.
For the sake of completeness, it should be pointed out that the actuators are preferably designed as a rocker switch, which is advantageous in view of the desired low overall height or depth.
Diese und weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Verbesserungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.These and further advantageous refinements and improvements of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Anhand eines in der schematischen Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels sollen die Erfindung, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Verbesserungen sowie besondere Vorteile der Erfindung näher erläutert und beschrieben werden.The invention, advantageous refinements and improvements and special advantages of the invention are to be explained and described in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the schematic drawing.

In Fig. 1 ist eine erste Anordnung 10 von jeweils als Schaltwippe ausgebildeten Stellgliedern 12, 14 für ein nicht näher dargestelltes elektrisches Schaltgerät mit drei in Schaltbahnen angeordneten Schalterpolen in Schrägansicht dargestellt, dessen in den Schaltbahnen angeordnete Schaltkontakte von Schaltnocken 18 betätigt werden, die an den Schaltwippen 12, 14 angeformt sind.In Fig. 1, a first arrangement 10 of each formed as a rocker switch 12, 14 for an electrical switching device, not shown, with three switch poles arranged in switching tracks is shown in an oblique view, the switching contacts arranged in the switching tracks are actuated by switching cams 18 which are actuated on the Shift paddles 12, 14 are formed.
Die Schaltwippen 12, 14 sind, wie aus der Darstellung in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, mittels einer alle Schaltwippen 12, 14 durchgreifenden Steckachse 20 koaxial gehalten. An den nach außen weisenden Seiten der beiden außen befindlichen Stellglieder 12, 16 sind koaxiale Zapfen 22 angeformt, welche mit entsprechenden, am ebenfalls nicht dargestellten zugehörigen Gehäuse des Schaltgeräts befindlichen Einformungen beziehungsweise Ausnehmungen, die als Führungen dienen, zusammenarbeiten und hiermit die Schwenklagerung der Schaltwippen 12, 14 bilden.The shift paddles 12, 14, as can be seen from the illustration in FIG. 2, are held coaxially by means of a plug-in axis 20 which extends through all the shift paddles 12, 14. On the outwardly facing sides of the two actuators 12, 16 located on the outside, coaxial pins 22 are formed, which have corresponding indentations on the associated housing of the switching device, which is also not shown or recesses, which serve as guides, work together and thereby form the pivot bearing of the rocker switches 12, 14.
Wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, ist an den außen befindlichen Schaltwippen 12 die jeweilige Außenwand durchgehend ausgebildet und dient sowohl als Anformfläche für die Zapfen 22 als auch als Begrenzung für sacklochartige Ausnehmungen 24, in welche die Steckachse 20 von der Innenseite her eingreift. Hierbei verhindert die Steckachse 20 ein Herausgleiten der Zapfen 22 und damit der Schaltwippen 12, 16 aus den Führungen am Gehäuse.As shown in FIG. 2, the respective outer wall is formed continuously on the shift paddles 12 located on the outside and serves both as a shaping surface for the pins 22 and as a boundary for blind hole-like recesses 24, in which the plug-in axis 20 engages from the inside. Here, the plug-in axis 20 prevents the pins 22 and thus the rocker switches 12, 16 from sliding out of the guides on the housing.
In den Fig. 3 und 4 ist jeweils eine zweite Anordnung 11 von erfindungsgemäßen Schaltwippen 12, 13 dargestellt, bei welcher eine Schaltwippe 12 so ausgebildet ist, wie zuvor beschrieben, während eine zweite Schaltwippe 16 mit einer.koaxialen Anformung 17 versehen ist, die ähnlich einem Hohlzylinder ausgebildet ist und deren Länge der Breite einer mittleren Schaltwippe 14 entspricht.3 and 4 each show a second arrangement 11 of shift paddles 12, 13 according to the invention, in which a shift paddle 12 is designed as described above, while a second rocker switch 16 is provided with a coaxial projection 17, which is similar is formed a hollow cylinder and the length of which corresponds to the width of a central rocker switch 14.
Diese Gestaltung der Schaltwippen 12, 16 ermöglicht, bei dem zugrundeliegenden dreipoligen Schaltgerät die separate Betätigung eines Schalterpols und die gemeinsame Betätigung der beiden übrigen Schalterpole.This design of the rocker switches 12, 16 enables the separate actuation of a switch pole and the joint actuation of the other two switch poles in the three-pole switching device on which the switch is based.
Auch bei dieser Anordnung 11 ist eine Steckachse 20 vorgesehen, welche die Schaltwippen 12, 16 einschließlich der zylindrischen Anformung 17 koaxial durchgreift, wobei die Ausnehmungen 24 in den Schaltwippen 12, 16 jeweils sacklochartig gestaltet sind.In this arrangement 11, too, a plug-in axis 20 is provided which coaxially extends through the shift paddles 12, 16, including the cylindrical projection 17, the recesses 24 in the shift paddles 12, 16 each being designed in a blind hole-like manner.
In den Fig. 5 und 6 ist eine dritte Anordnung von erfindungsgemäßen Schaltwippen 12 dargestellt die der ersten Anordnung weitestgehend entspricht. Anders als dort ist jedoch die mittlere Schaltwippe 14 weggelassen, während die außen liegenden Schaltwippen 12 in identischer Ausführung wie in der ersten Anordnung 10 gezeigt, vorhanden sind.5 and 6, a third arrangement of shift paddles 12 according to the invention is shown which largely corresponds to the first arrangement. Unlike there, however, the middle rocker switch 14 is omitted, while the outer rocker switches 12 are present in an identical design to that shown in the first arrangement 10.
Diese Ausgestaltung wird dann vorgesehen, wenn mit einem einpoligen Schalter mehrere elektrische Stromkreise beziehungsweise Verbraucher gleichzeitig aus einem Strompfad gespeist werden sollen. Dementsprechend werden die Anschlußkontakte der mittleren Schaltbahn einer äußeren Schaltbahn zugeordnet, so daß deren elektrische Versorgung durch Betätigung des betreffenden Schaltkontakts erfolgt.This configuration is provided when a single-pole switch is to be used to supply several electrical circuits or consumers simultaneously from one current path. Accordingly, the connection contacts of the middle switching path are assigned to an outer switching path, so that whose electrical supply takes place by actuating the relevant switch contact.
Für alle Schaltwippen 12, 14, 16 gilt, daß sie kastenförmig ausgebildet sind, wobei ihre Betätigungsseite jeweils offen ist. Eine hier nicht dargestellte Abdeckung kann auf die zugeordneten Schaltwippen 12, 14, 16 aufgesetzt werden. Die Größe der Schaltwippen 12, 14, 16 kann, wie in den Ausführungsbeispielen gezeigt, unterschiedlich sein entsprechend der vorgesehenen Einbaugeometrie.It applies to all rocker switches 12, 14, 16 that they are box-shaped, their actuating side being open in each case. A cover, not shown here, can be placed on the assigned shift paddles 12, 14, 16. As shown in the exemplary embodiments, the size of the rocker switches 12, 14, 16 can be different in accordance with the intended installation geometry.
