Definitions
- the invention relates to a circuit breaker for protecting circuits in road vehicles with the features listed in the preamble of claim 1 (EP 0 151 692 B1; DE 35 26 785 C1).
- Such circuit breakers are to be used instead of conventional fuses according to DIN 72581-3 in vehicles fitted with flat fuse bases as standard worldwide.
- the invention has for its object to provide in a circuit breaker of the type mentioned in a simpler way known from DE-A-1099624 possibility to interrupt the circuit protected by the circuit breaker arbitrarily without overcurrent tripping.
- There is a need for simple manual circuit interruption in particular in the application for securing the circuits of motor vehicles, for example if if the vehicle is not used for a longer period of time, drainage of the battery by leakage currents should be effectively prevented. This is the case, for example, after a final inspection of the vehicle up to delivery to the customer. In between there are often long-term transport or storage times.
- the solution is especially tailored to the conditions specified by the miniaturized dimensions of the circuit breaker.
- the hand release is designed as a two-armed swivel lever, the release arm of which is positioned in the rest position on the contact side of the bimetal spring washer.
- the trigger arm does not touch the bimetal. Rather, it is held contactless in this starting and resting position. This is caused by a spring pressure, which is exerted by the bearing axis of the hand release on its lower leg as a swivel drive.
- the design is specially designed so that the hand release, which acts as a two-armed swivel lever, is che snap connection is snapped onto the bearing shaft integral with the housing cap.
- This is a construction that is easy to accomplish in terms of space and is technically easy to assemble and that can also be implemented cost-effectively.
- a circuit breaker of the type according to the invention is a mass article.
- the hand release is easy and safe to operate, even in the notoriously cramped conditions of many circuit breakers arranged in a row. Whether its triggering movement has brought about the desired contact separation can be recognized unmistakably in the embodiment having an additional separating slide according to claim 2 by the fact that after a manual release, the separating slide protrudes from the switch housing with its pressure end.
- the actuating arm of the manual release protruding from the housing does not hinder the traceability of the isolating slide by pressurizing the end of its pressure any more than the automatic snap contacting or reclosing of the circuit breaker that is possible after the bimetal has cooled down. Therefore, the subject matter of the invention can easily be implemented even if the construction of the prior art mentioned initially remains unchanged.
- Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the individual parts of the circuit breaker.
- Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section along the line ll-ll in Fig. 1 by the mounted switch in the contact position of the bimetal.
- Fig. 3 is an illustration analogous to Fig. 2 with the hand release pivoted into its maximum release position and the switch open accordingly.
- Fig. 4 shows the switch in the release position shown in FIG. 3 with the hand release released.
- Fig. 5-7 enlarged detail views of the contact and manual release areas of the switch according to Fig. 2-4.
- the base part 1 which is made of insulating material, is injection molded around the two parallel flat connectors 2, 3.
- the flat plugs 2, 3 are fixed in place in the housing.
- the tabs 2, 3 protrude outward from the base part 1 with their plug ends. Their inner ends 4,5 are in the interior of the circuit breaker.
- the flat plugs 3, 4 run over their entire longitudinal extent in accordance with the specification of DIN standard 72581-3 relating to known flat fuse inserts which are effective as fuses.
- the flat plugs 3, 4 run essentially parallel to the housing cover surfaces 6, 7 of the housing cap 8 that can be pushed onto the base part 1 in the longitudinal direction 9.
- the housing cap 8 is snap-fixed to the base part 1.
- the fixing opening 10 snaps onto the fixing tooth 11 of the base part 1 in the housing cover surface 6.
- the tabs 2, 3 have the cross-sectional shape of a flat rectangle over their entire length.
- the bimetallic snap disk 12 is fixed with its fixing end 13 at the fixing point 14, e.g. welded on.
- the bimetallic snap disk 12 protrudes with its movement end 15 as the contact end into an overlap position with the inner end 5 of the other flat connector 3.
- This inner end 5 carries on its upper side the stationary counter contact 16 for the movement contact 17 fixed on the underside of the movement end 15 of the bimetallic spring washer 12.
- the separating slide 18 forms the one leg of a structure which is rectangular in plan view (FIG. 1), the other leg 23, which projects against the longitudinal direction 9, carries the pressure end 24 of the separating slide 18, which in the contacting position of the contacts 16, 17 (FIG. 2 , 5) and in the correspondingly compressed compression spring 19 lies within the housing cap 8 between the inner ends 4, 5 of the flat plugs 2, 3 and is aligned parallel to the inner ends 4, 5 of the flat plugs 2, 3 positioned on both sides.
- This stop limits the sliding movement of the isolating slide 18 and positions the isolating slide 18 in its shielded position with respect to the mating contact 16.
- the compression spring 19 exercises still a permanent pressure against the longitudinal direction 9 from the slide valve 18.
- the isolating slide 18 is guided as on a rail on the surface of the inner end 5 of the tab 3 exposed in the housing.
- a guide recess 27 (FIG. 1) effective in the manner of a track groove is provided on the underside of the separating slide 18.
- the printing end 24 s of the pressure limb 23 of the separating slide 18 stands outward through the opening 28 of the housing cap 8 and thereby signals the completed contact opening.
- the recognizability of this signaling from the outside can be ensured or improved by a signal color of the printing end 24 that is different from the housing color.
- a manual trigger 29 optionally levering the bimetal spring washer 12 out of its contact position (FIG. 2.5).
- This is designed as a two-armed lever, which protrudes from the flat side 30 of the housing cap 8 facing away from the tabs 2, 3 with a sesin actuating end.
- the manual release 29 is positioned next to the leg 23 or the pressure end 24 of the separating slide 18 on the side facing the inner end 5 of the flat plug 3 and extends with its longitudinal direction 9 parallel to the leg 23.
- the hand release 29 acts on the contact end 15 of the bimetal 25 spring washer 12 from the contact side carrying the movement contact 17 in the contact opening direction 25 to open the contact. This action is effected by the release arm 31 of the hand release 29 designed as a two-armed swivel lever, which for this purpose in the release direction 25 which is pivoted up with the housing cap 8 one-piece bearing axis 32.
- the other arm namely the actuating arm 33 of the manual trigger 29, projects outward beyond the bearing axis 32.
- the actuating arm 33 lies over its entire length Length outside the housing cap 8.
- the bearing axis 32 is positioned on the outside in front of the housing opening 36, through which the manual trigger 29 protrudes into the interior of the housing.
- the manual release 29 is a one-piece, approximately U-shaped insulating material part, which includes the bearing axis 32 with its two U-legs.
- the one U-leg namely the lower one in the figures, is formed by the actuating arm 33 and the trigger arm 31 which is attached to it and extends into the interior of the housing.
- the bearing axis 32 of the manual release 29 is aligned approximately parallel to the bimetallic spring washer 12 and to the housing cover surfaces 6, 7. It runs perpendicular to the drawing planes of FIGS. 2-7.
- the U-leg of the manual release 29 positioned above the bearing axis 32 is provided as a fixing leg 37 with a retaining lug 38 which engages behind the bearing axis 32 and projects in the direction of the release leg 31.
- the fixing leg 37 carries on its upper side a protruding housing stop 39, which thereby limits the insertion length of the manual release 29 with respect to the housing opening 36, the stop position of which on the housing top surface 6 can be seen from FIGS. 2.5.
- the crosshead 40 of the U-shape of the outer end of the actuating arm 33 of the hand release 29 forms its outer end.
- the lower U-leg namely the trigger arm 31 of the manual trigger 29, is hollowed out approximately in the central region of its longitudinal extent to form the bearing shell 41 on its inner flank.
- the manual trigger 29 is snapped onto the bearing axis 32 by a movable snap connection.
- it includes the bearing axis 32 with its two U-legs as an integrated snapper and / or as counter surfaces interacting with the snapper.
- the bearing axis has a cross-sectional shape which elastically spreads when the trigger 42 of the manual trigger 29 has its U-leg in such a way that the elastic spring pressure stored by the expansion acts as the manual trigger 29 automatically returning to its initial pivot position counter to the trigger pivot 42.
- This cross-sectional shape is characterized by a certain asymmetry.
- This asymmetry consists in the fact that the cross-sectional dimension of the bearing axis 32 acting on the U-legs 31, 37 in the release pivot position (FIG. 3.6) is larger than that on the U-legs 31, 37 in the rest position (FIGS. 2,4,5, 7.8) of the cross-sectional dimension acting on the manual release.
- This asymmetry also creates a counter abutment surface for the retaining lug 38 and a swivel stop 44 for the actuating arm 33 to limit the swivel range of the manual trigger 29.
- the U-shape and the resilient consistency of the hand release 29 have a number of advantages in common with the cross-sectional shape of the bearing axis 32 that deviates from a circle and approximates an ellipse. Regardless of the cross-sectional shape of the bearing axis 32, the simple snap mounting of the manual release 29 on the bearing axis 32 is in a manner ensuring its captive mounting.
- the hand release 29 is simply pushed on from the outside with the U-leg ends lying in the housing opening 36 and snapped on in the process.
- the suspension or rest position is shown in FIGS. 5, 7.
- the trigger arm 31 of the manual trigger 29 is below the bimetal 12. If the manual trigger 29 is pivoted clockwise around the bearing axis 32, the trigger end 31 is raised.
- FIG. 8 shows a modified embodiment of the manual release 29.
- the modification relates to the arrangement of an actuating spur 46 projecting outward beyond the head surface 45 of the crosshead 40 of the manual trigger 29.
- the actuating spur 46 projects in the longitudinal direction of the trigger arm 31 in the opposite direction to the outside and is positioned approximately where the longitudinal directions of crosshead 40 and release arm 31 or actuating arm 33 intersect.
- What is essential here is the arrangement which is offset off-center to the bearing axis 32 both horizontally and vertically with respect to FIG. 8 such that almost every pressure effect exerted on the actuating spur generates a force component, irrespective of the pressure direction, which results in a pivoting movement of the manual release triggering the circuit breaker 29 is implemented.
- the pivoting direction 47 or the torque resulting from it is indicated by the directional arrow 47.
- the directions of action 48, 49 which lead to such a torque effect in the same way are also illustrated by directional arrows.
- the manual release 29 is held in a color selected analogously to the safety colors according to DIN 72581-3 and clearly contrasting with the housing color, which also facilitates safe selection and manual operation in a row arrangement.
