Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an auxiliary switch arrangement with at least two fixed contact pieces fastened in a housing and with at least one with the fixed contact pieces by moving one with linear cams provided slide in and out of engagement, in the closing direction spring-loaded contact bridge, at the end of a leaf spring band carrying it transversely to its longitudinal direction and in the separation position by the Cam of the slide is lifted off the fixed contact pieces.
  • US-A-3787653 is an auxiliary switch arrangement of the beginning known type known.
  • this auxiliary switch arrangement are at least two fixed contact pieces arranged in one housing. Two fixed contact pieces each are switched on by a movable contact bridge connected with each other.
  • the contact bridge is a bar on both Ends of a U-shaped, with the middle part of the U-shape on the case back guided, pivotally mounted pivot lever attached.
  • the swivel lever is spring-loaded in the closing direction of the contact pieces by pretensioning.
  • the middle part of the U-shaped part inserted between the guide surfaces of the housing both contact bridges carrying, resilient pivot lever can tilt the guide surfaces and thus the spring behavior of the movable Affect contact bridges.
  • the assembly of the swivel levers is for an automatic assembly only possible with difficulty because it is not attached, but only is inserted.
  • the slide is in the housing with a coil spring preloaded, this additional compression spring increases the number of parts, the assembly effort and the actuating force generated by the actuators of the electrical Switching device must be applied.
  • This spring acts on the movable contact pieces of the switching device also back and influenced there the contact pressure.
  • US-A-3675168 is a switching device with a housed in a housing Fixed contact piece and with one bent at one end of a U-shape Leaf spring band attached movable contact piece known. The other, free end of the leaf spring band is attached to the housing and serves as an electrical connection point. The one lying at one end of the leaf spring band Movable contact piece is moved by a slide over one of the contact point removed cam assembly with the fixed contact piece in and out Intervention. Especially in the event of overcurrent, the between the parallel Parts of the U-shaped leaf spring band occurring electrodynamic Forces cause vibrations and, as a result, contact separation. Furthermore is the current-carrying U-shaped leaf spring band through the flowing Electrically heated, which affects the spring characteristic, particularly in the case of overcurrents of the leaf spring band can lead.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary switch arrangement create in which the closing and / or opening contacts as required in desired combination can be chosen, the relatively few Has individual parts, suitable for automatic assembly and therefore economical is advantageous and with all existing current loads Maintains functionality.
  • the task is solved in that several contact bridges and one common slide with several assigned to each contact bridge Cams are provided, with each contact bridge at one end of an associated one U-shaped leaf spring band transverse to the longitudinal direction of the Leaf spring band molded in one piece and the other, free end of the U-shaped curved, non-current-carrying leaf spring band is fastened in the housing, wherein the leaf spring band in the contact-making closed position of the contact bridge is biased by the amount of contact pressure.
  • multiple contact bridges and with a correspondingly arranged cam Sliders can be used for any closing and / or opening contacts Will be provided. With this arrangement there is the movable contact bridge and that applying the contact pressure for this movable contact piece Leaf spring band made from a single piece that attaches to the housing is.
  • each contact bridge with the leaf spring band carrying it and the direct attachment of the free end of the leaf spring band on Housing results in a clear spring behavior of the moving contact pieces and the possibility of installing multiple opener and closer contacts.
  • This arrangement is suitable for automatic assembly and is economical advantageous. Influenced by the fact that the leaf spring band is not live the current passed through the auxiliary switch the properties of the auxiliary switch assembly Not.
  • the leaf spring band advantageously projects between the two on the two End areas of the contact bridge attached movable contact pieces the contact bridge, with the protruding part becoming one with the cams the slide interacting slide bracket is shaped.
  • the one from the material The leaf spring band shaped slide bracket completes the functions of the one-piece leaf spring band.
  • the auxiliary switch arrangement has a housing 1 which the arrangement closes to the outside. In the housing 1 are visible in Fig.1 Fixed contact pieces 2, 3, 4 attached. The fixed contact pieces 2, 3, 4 are with the terminals 5, 6, 7, 8 of the auxiliary switch in an electrically conductive connection. The fixed contact pieces 2 and 3 and 4 and not in Fig.1 visible, are in the switched-on position with the contact bridges 9, 10 with each other connected.
  • the contact bridges 9, 10 are U-shaped at one end bent leaf spring bands 11 are formed, as in Figures 4, 5 and 6th can be seen. The other ends 12 of the leaf spring bands 11 are in the housing 1 attached.
  • the leaf spring strips 11 bring in the contact-making closed position the contact bridges 9, 10 the contact pressure, because they are by the amount of Contact pressure are biased.
  • the leaf spring strips 11 protrude between the two end regions of the contact bridges 9, 10 beyond the contact bridges 9, 10, the outstanding ones Parts are formed into sliding brackets 13.
  • This slide bracket 13 serve the Contact bridges 9, 10 to lift off the fixed contact pieces 2, 3, 4 and the Bring the auxiliary switch to the off position.
  • the auxiliary switch assembly is equipped with a slide 14 which in Housing 1 is held and guided longitudinally.
  • This slider 14 is provided with a linear cam 15. 2 shows the slide 14 in the upper position. In this position it is clearly visible that the cam 15 underneath the slide bracket 13 of the upper contact bridge 9 is pushed. This contact bridge 9 is thus lifted off the fixed contact pieces 2 and 3, the connection between terminals 5 and 6 is interrupted.
  • the lower Slide bracket 13 is free, the contact bridge 10 is with the fixed contact pieces 4th in connection, the connection terminals 7 and 8 are electrically connected.
  • FIG. 3 shows the auxiliary switch arrangement with the slide 14 pushed downward.
  • the fixed contact pieces 2, 3 are connected because of the slide bracket 13 of the upper leaf spring band 11 is free and the contact bridge 9 on the Fixed contact pieces 2, 3 can rest.
  • the contact pressure results from the Preload of the leaf spring band 11.
  • the slide 14 is with an extension 16 provided that shifted by an electrical switching device, not shown can be.
  • the one-piece leaf spring band 11 is alone in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 shown. In Figure 4 and also in Figure 6 are attached to the leaf spring band 11 movable contact pieces 17 particularly visible.
  • FIG. 7 shows the slide 14 with differently arranged Cams 15, 18, 19, 20, 21. Due to the different designs of the cams 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, the closing and / or opening contacts as required to get voted.
  • the cams 18, 19 shown in FIG. 7 actuate two Opener contacts, the cams 20, 21 visible in FIG. 8 have two make contacts.
  • the cams 15 shown in FIG. 9 serve to actuate an opener and a make contact.
