Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verriegelungseinrichtung zur Verhinderung der gleichzeitigen Einschaltung von zwei elektromagnetisch betätigbaren, einen Schaltblock bildenden Schaltschützen nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruches.The invention relates to a locking device for preventing the simultaneous activation of two electromagnetically operable, a switching block forming contactors according to the preamble of the independent claim.
Aus der Druckschrift DE 40 30 333 A1 ist eine Verriegelungseinrichtung für seitlich verbundene Schaltschütze bekannt, deren Betätigungsorgane für die beweglichen Kontakte im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu den Verbindungsseitenwänden elektromagnetisch verschoben werden. Die beiden Schaltschütze werden von einem gemeinsamen Gehäuseunterteil aufgenommen. Die Betätigungsorgane beider Schaltschütze weisen gegenüberstehend Vorsprünge auf, die gegenüber den Verbindungsseitenwänden zurücktreten und zwischen denen ein senkrecht zu den an dieser Stelle mit Durchbrüchen versehenen Verbindungsseitenwänden verschiebbarer Verriegelungsstift gelagert ist. Beim Einschalten eines der beiden Schaltschütze wird durch dessen Vorsprung der Verriegelungsstift in Richtung des anderen Schaltschützes verschoben. Beim Versuch, das andere Schaltschütz einzuschalten, trifft dessen Vorsprung auf den Verriegelungsstift. Die Haltekraft des Elektromagnetantriebes des bereits eingeschalteten Schaltschützes ist größer als die Anzugskraft des Elektromagnetantriebes des anderen Schaltschützes, wodurch das Betätigungsorgan des anderen Schaltschützes gehindert wird, in die Einschaltstellung überzugehen. Von Nachteil ist bei dieser Verriegelungseinrichtung, dass zum einen eine senkrecht zu den Verbindungsseitenwänden gerichtete Bewegung der Betätigungsorgane Voraussetzung ist und dass die Verriegelung nicht mehr gewährleistet ist, wenn die Elektromagnetantriebe - wie im Allgemeinen angestrebt - mit einer deutlich gegenüber der Anzugsleistung verminderten Halteleistung betrieben werden.From the document DE 40 30 333 A1 a locking device for laterally connected contactors is known, the actuators are moved to the movable contacts substantially perpendicular to the connection side walls electromagnetically. The two contactors are picked up by a common housing base. The actuators of both contactors have opposing projections which recede from the connection side walls and between which a perpendicular to the provided at this point with openings connecting side walls sliding locking pin is mounted. When switching one of the two contactors is moved by the projection of the locking pin in the direction of the other contactor. When trying to turn on the other contactor, its projection meets the locking pin. The holding force of the solenoid drive of the already switched contactor is greater than the tightening force of the solenoid drive of the other contactor, whereby the actuator of the other contactor is prevented to move to the on position. A disadvantage of this locking device, that on the one hand a perpendicular to the connecting side walls directed movement of the actuators is a prerequisite and that the lock is no longer guaranteed if the solenoid actuators - as generally desired - are operated with a significantly lower than the tightening power reduced holding power.
Aus der Druckschrift DE 195 48 480 C1 ist eine Verriegelungseinrichtung bekannt, welche die vorgenannten Nachteile vermeidet. Die Bewegungsrichtung der Betätigungsorgane verläuft senkrecht zur Frontseite der seitlich verbundenen Schaltschütze. In gegenüberstehenden ersten Schlitzen in den Verbindungsseitenwänden steckt ein Lagerelement, in dem ein senkrecht zu den Verbindungsseitenwänden schwenkbarer Anker als Verriegelungselement gelagert ist, zu dessen Aufnahme zweite Schlitze in den Verbindungsseitenwänden gegenüberstehen. Bei gleichzeitigem Erregen der Elektromagnetantriebe beider Schaltschütze greift der Anker in Aussparungen beider Betätigungsorgane ein und verhindert ein Einschalten beider Schaltschütze. Die Aussparungen sind jeweils durch eine vordere, eine mittlere und eine hintere Innenfläche begrenzt, die sich parallel bzw. senkrecht bzw. schräg zu den Frontseiten erstrecken. Beim Erregen des Elektromagnetantriebes eines Schaltschützes allein wird der Anker aus der Aussparung des Betätigungsorgans dieses Schaltschützes in die Aussparung des Betätigungsorgans des anderen Schaltschützes gedrückt, womit dieses zum Einschalten wirksam verriegelt ist. Die beiden Schaltschütze sind über Verbindungselemente verbunden, die mit äußeren Schenkeln von den Verbindungsseitenwänden ausgehende Rippen klammerartig umgreifen und mit einem Mittelschenkel in eine in den Verbindungsseitenwänden gebildete Ausnehmung formschlüssig greifen. Diese Verriegelungseinrichtung erfordert für das Lagerelement und den Anker zusätzlich zwei komplizierte Teile, die mit hohen Werkzeugkosten verbunden sind. Durch den vorhandenen Sperrhub des verriegelten Schaltschützes bedarf es einer genauen Abstimmung zwischen den Geometrien der ersten Schlitze, der Lagerelemente, der Anker, der Aussparungen und der Geometrie, Lagerung sowie Kinematik der Betätigungsorgane.From the document DE 195 48 480 C1 a locking device is known, which avoids the aforementioned disadvantages. The direction of movement of the actuators is perpendicular to the front of the laterally connected contactors. In opposing first slots in the connection side walls insert a bearing element, in which a perpendicular to the connection side walls pivotable armature is mounted as a locking element, to whose inclusion opposite two slots in the connecting side walls. With simultaneous energization of the solenoid actuators of both contactors, the armature engages in recesses both actuators and prevents switching on both contactors. The recesses are each bounded by a front, a middle and a rear inner surface, which extend parallel or perpendicular or obliquely to the front sides. When energizing the solenoid drive of a contactor alone, the armature is pressed from the recess of the actuator of this contactor in the recess of the actuator of the other contactor, which is effectively locked to turn on. The two contactors are connected by means of connecting elements which grip around the outer side limbs of the connecting side walls extending ribs like a clip and engage with a center leg in a form formed in the connecting side walls recess form-fitting. This locking device requires for the bearing element and the anchor additionally two complicated parts, which are associated with high tooling costs. Due to the existing blocking stroke of the locked contactor, it requires a precise coordination between the geometries of the first slots, the bearing elements, the armature, the recesses and the geometry, storage and kinematics of the actuators.
Aus US 3 536 868 A ist eine gattungsgemäße Verriegelungsvorrichtung bekannt mit parallel zu den Verbindungsseitenwänden sich bewegenden, mit Magnetantrieben einerseits und beweglichen Kontakten anderseits wirkverbundenen Betätigungsorganen, mit gegenüberstehenden Durchbrüchen in den sich unmittelbar anschließenden Verbindungsseitenwänden für ein Verriegelungselement und mit Anformungen an den Betätigungsorganen, wobei das Betätigungsorgan des eingeschalteten Schaltschützes das Verriegelungselement an die Anformungen des anderen Schaltschützes verriegelnd drückt. Die Anformungen sind als in Richtung zu den Verbindungsseitenwänden vorstehende, sich verjüngende Ansätze an den Betätigungsorganen beider Schaltschütze und eine vorstehende, sich verjüngende Führungsleiste an dem Betätigungsorgan eines der Schütze ausgebildet, wobei das Verriegelungselement ständig unter Eingriff der Führungsleiste steht. Das Verriegelungselement weist auf einer Achse unabhängig voneinander verdrehbare äußere Rollensegmente sowie ein gegenüber diesen kleineres zentrales Rollensegment auf und lagert gegen einen doppelt-U-förmig ausgebildeten Bügel, der in den Aussparungen beider Verbindungsseitenwände klemmt. Diese Verriegelungsvorrichtung erfordert mehrer zusammengesetzte bzw. kompliziert gestaltete Teile und unterschiedliche sowie komplizierte Anformungen beider Schaltschütze.From US Pat. No. 3,536,868 A, a generic locking device is known having actuating members which are moving parallel to the connecting side walls and operatively connected to magnetic drives on the one hand and movable contacts, with opposite openings in the immediately adjoining connecting side walls for a locking element and with projections on the actuating members Actuator of the switched contactor presses the locking element to the projections of the other contactor locking. The formations are formed as projecting towards the connection side walls, tapered lugs on the actuators of both contactors and a protruding, tapered guide rail on the actuator of one of the contactors, wherein the locking element is constantly under engagement of the guide bar. The locking element has on one axis independently rotatable outer roller segments and a smaller relative to these central roller segment and bears against a double-U-shaped bracket which clamps in the recesses of both connection side walls. This locking device requires several composite or complicated designed parts and different and complicated formations of both contactors.
Die Druckschrift US 4 409 575 A zeigt eine mechanische Verriegelungseinrichtung für mechanisch verbundene Schaltschütze mit als Wälzkörper wie Zylinderrolle oder Hohlzylinderrolle ausgebildetem Verriegelungselement, das in einem Verbindungsrahmen zwischen den beabstandeten Schützen gelagert ist und von dem Kontaktrahmen des jeweils erregten Schützes betätigt wird. Nachteilig sind hier das Erfordernis des Verbindungsrahmens und der damit verbundene raumgreifende Abstand zwischen den gegenüberliegenden Seitenwänden der beiden Schaltschütze.The document US 4 409 575 A shows a mechanical locking device for mechanically connected contactors designed as rolling elements such as cylindrical roller or hollow cylindrical roller locking element which is mounted in a connecting frame between the spaced contactors and is actuated by the contact frame of each energized contactor. The disadvantage here is the requirement of the connection frame and the associated space-consuming distance between the opposite side walls of the two contactors.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die gegenseitige Verriegelung zweier Schaltschütze mit parallel zu den Verbindungsweitenwänden verlaufender Bewegungsrichtung der Betätigungsorgane auf vereinfachte Weise zu realisieren.The invention has for its object to realize the mutual locking of two contactors with parallel to the Verbindungsweitenwänden extending direction of movement of the actuators in a simplified manner.
Ausgehend von einer Verriegelungseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des unabhängigen Anspruches gelöst, während den abhängigen Ansprüchen vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung zu entnehmen sind.Starting from a locking device of the type mentioned, the object is achieved by the characterizing features of the independent claim, while the dependent claims advantageous developments of the invention are apparent.
Die erfindungsgemäße Verriegelungseinrichtung benötigt in einfacher Weise lediglich ein Zusatzteil in Form eines Wälzkörpers, der als Verbindelement mit kalottenartigen Aussparungen der Betätigungsorgane zusammenwirkt. Durch diese Art der Verriegelung besteht für das zu sperrende Schaltschütz ein sehr geringer Leerhub, was zur Erhöhung der Zuverlässigkeit beträgt und eine einfache Spielhubberechnung für den Konstrukteur erlaubt. Die Elektromagnetantriebe können mit deutlich verminderter Halteleistung betrieben werden.The locking device according to the invention requires in a simple manner only an additional part in the form of a rolling element, which serves as a connecting element with dome-like Recesses of the actuators cooperates. By this type of locking there is a very small idle stroke for the contactor to be blocked, which is to increase the reliability and allows a simple Spielhubberechnung for the designer. The solenoid actuators can be operated with significantly reduced holding power.
Das Verriegelungselement lässt sich in preiswerter Weise durch einen handelsübliches Kaufteil in Form einer Kugel, einer Zylinderrolle, einer Tonnenrolle oder einer Scheibe realisieren.The locking element can be realized in a cost-effective manner by a commercial purchase part in the form of a ball, a cylindrical roller, a barrel roll or a disc.

In Fig. 1 sind zwei gegenseitig verriegelbare Schaltschütze 2a und 2b Seite an Seite dargestellt. Die Schaltschütze 2a, 2b sind auf einer nicht dargestellten Montageunterlage, beispielsweise einer Normtragschiene, befestigt. Das links dargestellte Schaltschütz 2a schließt mit seiner rechtsseitigen Verbindungsseitenwand 4a unmittelbar an die linksseitige Verbindungsseitenwand 4b des rechts dargestellten Schaltschützes 2b. Die beiden Schaltschütze 2a, 2b sind in üblicher Weise, beispielsweise wie in DE 195 48 480 C1 beschrieben, über klammerartige Verbindungselemente 5 auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten bündig miteinander verbunden. Damit können sich die Schaltschütze 2a, 2b nicht mehr voneinander entfernen.In Fig. 1, two mutually
Mit Fig. 2 wird als Einzelheit II aus Fig. 1 die Verriegelungseinrichtung 1 der Schaltschütze 2a, 2b näher erläutert. Die Verbindungsseitenwände 4a, 4b besitzen gegenüberstehend jeweils einen Durchbruch 6a bzw. 6b. In unmittelbarer Nähe zu den Verbindungsseitenwände 4a, 4b befindet sich ein Teilstück eines Betätigungsorgans 8a bzw. 8b. Die Betätigungsorgane 8a, 8b sind einerseits mit den Elektromagnetantrieben und anderseits mit den beweglichen Kontakten des Schaltschütze 2a bzw. 2b wirkverbunden bzw. gekoppelt. Die Bewegungsrichtung der Betätigungsorgane 8a, 8b verläuft parallel zu den Verbindungsseitenwänden 4a, 4b und senkrecht zu den Frontseiten 10a, 10b der Schaltschütze 2a bzw. 2b. In der Nähe zu den Durchbrüchen 6a, 6b sind die Betätigungsorgane 8a, 8b mit kugelkalottenförmigen Aussparungen 12a bzw. 12 b ausgestattet. Die Aussparungen 12a, 12b sind zur benachbarten Verbindungsseitenwand 4a bzw. 4b geöffnet. Innerhalb der Durchbrüche 6a, 6b lagert ein Verriegelungselement 14 in Form eines kugelförmigen Wälzkörpers aus Metall, Keramik, Kunststoff oder glashaltigem Material. Zur linken und zur rechten Seite wird das Verriegelungselement 14 von den benachbarten Teilstücken der .Betätigungsorgane 8a, 8b und im Übrigen durch die seitlichen Begrenzungen der Durchbrüche 6a, 6b gehalten.2, the
Wenn sich beide Schaltschütze 2a und 2b im nichteingeschalteten Zustand befinden, nehmen beide Betätigungsorgane 8a und 8b die in Fig. 2 für das links dargestellte Betätigungsorgan 8a gezeigte obere Position ein. In dieser Situation lagert das Verriegelungselement 14 locker zwischen den beiden Aussparungen 12a und 12b, die sich dabei über die Durchbrüche 6a und 6b direkt gegenüberstehen. Wenn aus dieser Ausgangssituation eines der beiden Schaltschütze 2a oder 2b eingeschaltet wird, kann sich dessen Betätigungsorgan 8a oder 8b ungehindert bezüglich der Darstellung von Fig. 2 von oben nach unten bewegen. In Fig. 2 ist der Fall dargestellt, dass das rechts angeordnete Schaltschütz 2b eingeschaltet worden ist. Durch die Bewegung des zugehörigen Betätigungsorgans 8b um den Betätigungshub 16 in die untere Position, gelangt das Verriegelungselement 14 aus dem Bereich der Aussparung 12b und wird durch den nicht zurückgesetzten Teil dieses Betätigungsorgans 8b über die Durchbrüche 6b und 6a nach links in die Aussparung 12a des Betätigungsorgans 8a das links dargestellte Schaltschützes 2a verdrängt. Damit ist das links angeordnete Schaltschütz 2a gegen Einschalten verriegelt. Denn bei dem Versuch, auch noch das links angeordnete Schaltschütz 2a einzuschalten, ist durch das verhinderte Ausweichen des Verriegelungselementes 14 nach rechts die Möglichkeit für das Betätigungsorgan 8a des links angeordneten Schaltschützes 2a genommen, mit seiner Aussparung 12a aus dem Eingriff des Verriegelungselementes 14 zu gelangen.When both
Bei gleichzeitigem Erregen der Etektromagnetantriebe beider Schaltschütze 2a und 2b werden beide Betätigungsorgane 8a und 8b daran gehindert, sich gemäß der Darstellung von Fig. 2 nach unten zu bewegen, da die beiden kalottenförmigen Aussparungen 12a und 12b nicht gleichzeitig aus dem Eingriff des Verriegelungselementes 14 gelangen können. Bei dem Versuch, beide Schaltschütze 2a und 2b gleichzeitig einzuschalten, werden diese formschriftenkonform im nichteingeschalteten Zustand gehalten. Es kann also kein Wettlauf zwischen den Schaltschützen 2a, 2b stattfinden.With simultaneous energization of the Etektromagnetantriebe both
Um das Einbringen des Verriegelungselementes 14 zwischen die Durchbrüche 6a, 6b zu erleichtern, kann sich der Monteur des in Fig. 3 dargestellten Hilfswerkzeuges 20 bedienen. Das längliche Hilfswerkzeug 20 besteht aus elastischem Material, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, und ist an beiden Kopfenden 21 zur Aufnahme des kugelförmigen Verriegelungselementes 14 ausgebildet. Dazu sind die Kopfenden 21 symmetrisch in Gabelzinken 22 aufgespalten. In den durch die elastischen Gabelzinken 22 an beiden Kopfenden 21 gebildeten Aufnahmeräumen 28 kann jeweils ein Verriegelungselement 14 klemmend gehalten werden. Zur besseren Halterung der Verriegelungselemente 14 sind die Gabelschlitze 30 im Bereich der Aufnahmeräume 28 in Anpassung an die Kugelform des Verriegelungselementes 14 kugelkalottenförmig zu den Schmalseiten 26 hin ausgeformt. Im unbelasteten Zustand haben sich eine Öffnungsweite der Gabelschlitze von ¾ des Kugeldurchmessers des Verriegelungselementes 14 und ein maximaler Abstand der in den Aufnahmeräumen 28 gegenüberstehenden Kalotteninnenflächen von etwas weniger als dem Kugeldurchmesser als vorteilhaft erwiesen. Beispielsweise beträgt bei einem Kugeldurchmesser von 4 mm die Öffnungsweite 3 mm und der maximale Abstand der Kalotteninnenflächen 3,8 mm.In order to facilitate the introduction of the locking
Das Verriegelungselement 14 wird in dem Hilfswerkzeug 20 in der Weise aufgenommen, dass es mit einem Teil seiner Oberfläche über die Flachseiten 24 ragt. Zum Einbringen des Verriegelungselementes 14 in die Durchbrüche 6a, 6b werden zuvor die Schaltschütze 2a, 2b auf einen Abstand gebracht, bei dem das Verriegelungselement 14 noch zwischen die Verbindungsseitenwände 4a, 4b passt. Das mit dem Verriegelungselement 14 versehene Hilfswerkzeug 20 kann dann, wenn seine Flachseiten 24 den Verbindungsseitenwänden 4a, 4b gegenüberstehen, zwischen die Schaltschütze 2a, 2b reichen und das Verriegelungselement 14 in den Bereich der Durchbrüche 6a, 6b bringen. Wenn jetzt die Schaltschütze 2a, 2b noch näher zueinander gebracht werden, wird das Verriegelungselement 14 durch die Durchbrüche 6a, 6b gehalten und gelangt beim Zurückziehen des Hilfswerkzeuges 20 aus dem Eingriff der Gabelzinken 22. Hierauf können schließlich die Schaltschütze 2a, 2b bündig zusammengerückt und mit den Verbindungselementen 5 verbunden werden, worauf die Verriegelungseinrichtung 1 festiggestellt ist.The locking
Die vorliegende Erfindung ist nicht auf die vorstehend beschriebenen Ausführungsformen beschränkt, sondern umfasst auch alle gleichwirkenden Ausführungsformen, die innerhalb des durch die Ansprüche definierten Schutzumfangs liegen. So lässt sich die Verriegelungseinrichtung 1 beispielsweise auch mit einer Zylinderrolle, einer Tonnenrolle, einer Kreisscheibe oder einer Langscheibe als Verriegelungselement realisieren. Die Aussparungen 12a, 12 b an den Betätigungsorganen 8a, 8b sind dementsprechend an die Form des Verriegelungselementes anzupassen.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but also includes all equivalent embodiments that are within the scope defined by the claims. Thus, the
