  • the crank arm 20 is a rotary lever and converts an axial movement of the insulating nozzle assembly 12 into a rotational movement.
  • a slide passage 21 is arranged, in which a sensing element is guided, which is connected to a linearly displaceable second rated current contact piece 22.
  • the second rated current contact piece 22 is axially displaceably mounted on the second support body 9 and electrically conductively connected to the second support body 9.
  • the second rated current contact piece 22 is designed as a hollow cylinder, wherein coaxial with the second rated current contact piece 22, a second arcing contact piece 23 is arranged encompassed by the second rated current contact piece 22.
  • the second arcing contact piece 23 is displaceably mounted on the second rated current contact piece 22.
  • a supplementary movement can be coupled to the second arcing contact piece 23, so that the movement profile of the moving one second rated current contact piece 22 forms the basis for a movement of the second arcing contact piece 23, wherein the movement profiles of the first rated current contact piece 22 and the second arcing contact piece 23 complement, so that the second arcing contact piece 23 with respect to the second support body 9 is movable at a greater speed than the second rated current contact piece 22nd
  • a relative movement of the first arcing contact piece 15 to the insulating nozzle arrangement 12 is ensured.
  • the second rated current contact piece 23 still remains at rest, since the sliding gear 21 of the crank arm 20 due to its lying in this area concentric with the fulcrum path no movement on the first rated current contact piece 14 couples. Consequently, the second arcing contact piece 23, which is supported on the second rated current contact piece 23, also remains at rest.
  • an opposite movement is transmitted to the second arcing contact piece 23 in the following.
  • both the first rated current contact piece 14 and the second rated current contact piece 22 and the first arcing contact piece 15 and the second arcing contact piece 23 are removed from each other.
  • a removal of the first arcing contact piece 15 from the region of the switching chamber 11 is faster than a distance of the first rated current contact piece 14 from the switching chamber 11.
  • the first arcing contact piece 15 is moved into the screen area of the first rated current contact piece 14, resulting in a distance of the first arcing contact piece 15 the opening of the nozzle channel of the insulating nozzle arrangement 12 facing the first arcing contact piece 15 increases.
  • a switched after the contact separation of the two arcing contact pieces 15, 23 Ausschaltlichtbogen (change from the Fig. 4 to the Fig. 5 ) burns between the two arcing contact pieces 15, 23 and is guided within the nozzle channel of the insulating nozzle assembly 12.
  • the nozzle channel of the switching arc expands so-called switching gas, which can escape via the frontal mouth opening of the nozzle channel, which faces the first arcing contact piece 15.
  • the switching gas emerging from the nozzle channel of the insulating nozzle arrangement 12 is radiated into the mouth opening of the channel of the first arcing contact piece 15.
  • the first arcing contact piece 15 discharges the switching gas from the switching chamber.
  • the radial annular channel formed between the main nozzle 12a and the auxiliary nozzle 12b is used to derive switching gas from the area of the burning switching arc from the nozzle channel of the insulating nozzle arrangement 12. This switching gas is introduced into the heating volume 13. Due to the thermal energy input, the expanding switching gas is compressed within the heating volume 13.
  • the reduction gear 17 is shown in detail.
  • the drive rod 16 is connected via a transverse bolt to a drive element 25 of the first rated current contact piece 14 or the Isolierdüsenan ever 12.
  • the cross pin engages in a slot of the drive element 25 a.
  • the reduction gear 17 is equipped with a one-armed lever 26.
  • the one-armed lever 26 is struck stationary on the first support body 8.
  • the one-armed lever 26 is connected at its free end with the transverse bolt in the slot of the drive element 25.
  • a coupling with the linearly displaceable for transmitting a movement drive rod 16 is given via the one-armed lever 26.
  • the one-armed lever 26 is pivoted upon movement of the drive rod 16. To compensate for an overstroke of the one-armed lever 26, this slides through the slot of the drive element 25.
  • the elastically deflectable drive rod 16 is moved over the cross bolt from its coaxial position to the longitudinal axis 2 to compensate for the overstroke of the one-armed lever 26.
  • the one-armed lever 26 is further provided with a drive pin 27, wherein the distance of the drive pin 27 to the pivot point of the one-armed lever 26 is greater than the distance of the transverse pin to the pivot point of the one-arm lever 26.
  • the drive pin 27 upon pivoting of the one-armed lever 26th the drive pin 27 a greater way back than the cross pin, so that a relation to the movement of the transverse pin deviating motion on the drive pin 27 can be tapped.
  • a Lasehe 28 struck which is connected to the linearly displaceable first arcing contact piece 15.
  • the tab 28 is connected via a linearly displaceable push element which is guided in the interior of the tubular drive element 25.
  • the tab 28 is discharged through a jacket-side opening in the drive element 25 cranked and coupled to a slot on the drive pin 27. In this case, the slot is directed so that an overstroke of the located on the one-armed lever 26 drive pin 27 can be compensated.
  • FIG. 8 shows an alternative transmission gear.
  • a two-armed lever 29 is rotatably mounted.
  • the drive rod 16 is connected to the drive element 25, so that movements of the drive rod 16 are transmitted directly to the drive element 25 and consequently also to the first rated current contact piece 14 and the Isolierdüsenan accent 12.
  • the two-armed lever 29 is connected with its one lever arm with a tab 28 which is guided linearly displaceable in the drive element 25 and transmits a movement to the first arcing contact piece 15.
  • a sliding gate 30 is fixedly positioned on the first supporting body 8. The slide gate 30 is scanned by the other lever arm of the two-armed lever 29, while the pivot point of the two-armed lever 29 is moved together with the drive element 25. Due to the shape of the link 30, insertion or suspension of transmission of movement of the tab 28 / the first arcing contact 15 can be easily adjusted.
  • the end regions of the sliding gear 30 arranged parallel to the axis of movement of the drive element 25.
