Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for remote control of an electrical switch or the like, as specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device for remote control of an electrical switch or the like of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is already known.
  • the switch and the internal actuating device assigned to it are located in a control cabinet provided with a front door.
  • a housing of the main control device is attached to the front of the control cabinet next to the opening side of the control cabinet door and carries the outer handle.
  • the lever mechanism is arranged in the housing of the main actuating device and extends through the front of the control cabinet into the interior of the control cabinet. At the end of the lever mechanism projecting into the interior of the control cabinet, one end of a two-part rod is fastened as a transmission element.
  • the free end of the rod engages on a part of the inner actuating device which is rotatably mounted and with which the bar-shaped handle of the switch for switching operations can be actuated when the rod is pushed.
  • the spatial relationship between the main actuating device and the inner actuating device and thus also the switch is largely determined by the rod. Only the distance between the two actuators can be varied by lengthening or shortening the rod. Any further arrangement of the main actuating device on and the inner actuating device in the control cabinet is not possible, since the rod does not allow any spatial offset. Bec 25 Lel / 0 3.
  • a device for actuating a handle of a switch designed as a rocker is already known.
  • This device consists of a base plate connected to the switch and a slide which is displaceable on the base plate and is designed to carry the handle.
  • a device for remote control of the Schlit. tens is not provided (US-A-3 358 o94).
  • the object of the invention is to design the device for remote control of an electrical switch or the like of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that it permits a largely arbitrary arrangement of the main actuating device and the internal actuating device together with the switch in "a control cabinet, without any particular Require adjustments and modifications.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention by the training specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • a main actuator is generally designated lo, which is arranged on a wall 12.
  • the wall 12 can belong to a conventional sheet metal housing, for example a control cabinet or the like containing electrical devices.
  • the main actuating device 1o has a fixed part 14, a lever gear 16 and an outer handle 18.
  • a flexible tension / compression element 2o of a device for transmitting longitudinal movements is attached to an arm of the lever gear 16 by a suitable element 24.
  • a guide sleeve 21 belonging to the transmission element for the tension / compression element is fixed to a stationary part of the main actuating device by means of a clamp 26.
  • the transmission element 2 0 , 21 extends to an electrical apparatus 32 which is arranged at any distance from the main actuating device 10, for example as an encapsulated electrical circuit breaker, which has a handle 34 designed as a rocker switch, with which the switch 32 can be switched on or off or reset when it is switched.
  • An inner actuating device is generally designated 36 and has a stationary part 38 which is fastened to the encapsulation of the switch 32 by means of screws 4o, 42.
  • a slide 44 is arranged displaceably by means of rivets 46, 48.
  • the carriage 44 encompasses the switch handle 34 in a lateral opening, so that it is actuated when the carriage 4 moves up and down in accordance with its own type of movement for a switching operation.
  • the guide sleeve 21 of the transmission element is fastened to a tab at the lower end of the stationary part 38 of the inner actuating device 36.
  • the associated end of the tension / compression element 2o engages on a tab of the carriage 44 corresponding to the tab of the fixed part 38.
  • FIG. 2 Apart from an extension, the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2 has the same design as the example according to FIG. 1. The reference numerals that apply in FIG. 1 therefore also apply to FIG. 2.
  • the extension consists of a locking device that is provided with the inner actuating device 36 is coupled by a further transmission device.
  • the stationary part of the inner actuating device 36 is provided with an elongated lip 39, to which a guide sleeve 30 of the further transmission devices is attached.
  • the carriage 44 of the inner actuating device 36 is provided with a lip 45 corresponding to the lip 39, to which a flexible tension-compression element 22 of the further transmission element is fastened by means of a screw connection, as shown.
  • the carriage 44 takes with it the associated end of the push-pull element 22, which moves downwards at its other end.
  • the pull-pressure element 22 pivots a bolt 6o clockwise during this downward movement, so that its free end 61 as a father part in a counterpart formed as a mother part engages element 5o, which is firmly connected to the door 52.
  • the engagement prevents the door 52 from opening when the switch 32 is now switched off.
  • the latch 6 0 releases the door 52 when the switch 32 is switched off by a downward movement of the slide 44.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 is also identical to the example according to FIG. 1, apart from an expansion. If there is agreement, the same reference numerals are used as in Fig. 1.
  • a tension-compression element 23 of a further transmission device is attached to the lever gear 16.
  • the free end of the guide sleeve 31 of the further transmission member is fastened to a stationary holder 54 by means of a screw connection 58.
  • the holder 54 is in turn fastened to a frame or a stand of the control cabinet and is arranged adjacent to a control cabinet door which, like the control cabinet door in FIG. 2, bears the reference symbol 52.
  • a counter-element is attached to the door 52 in Fig. 3 are arranged is equal to the counter-element of FIG. 2 and therefore with the same reference numerals 5 0 like this, is provided.
  • switch 32 When switch 32 is to be turned on, door 52 is closed. In this position, a recess in the counter-element 5o is aligned with the associated end of the tension-pressure element 23.
  • the lever mechanism 16 presses the two on it consolidated tensile pressure elements 2 0 , 23 down.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 1 in that a further switch 62 is provided in addition to the switch 32.
  • the two switches 32, 62 are coupled by a further transmission element, which has a tension / compression element 63 and a guide sleeve 64 surrounding it.
  • the switch 62 is preferably provided with an actuating device which is the same as the inner actuating device 32 and which bears the reference number 66.
  • the pull-pressure element 63 of the transmission member 63, 64 is attached at one end to the corresponding lip 45 of the carriage 44.
  • the associated end of the guide sleeve 64 is fixed on the lip 39.
  • the ends of the transmission element 63, 64 assigned to the switch 62 are fastened to the actuating device belonging to the switch 62 in the same way as the transmission element 20, 21 to the inner actuating device 36 according to FIG. 1
  • the disclosed system enables remote actuation of at least one switch arranged in a control cabinet or the like from a largely freely selectable location and also enables the switch to be arranged largely locally in the control cabinet. In addition, a largely arbitrary local arrangement of a lock dependent on the switch is made possible in the control cabinet.
