Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Zugschalter der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art.The invention relates to an electric pull switch of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.

Mittels Zugschnüren betätigte Zugschalter sind im Stand der Technik in vielfältigen Ausführungen bekannt.Pull switches actuated by pull cords are known in the prior art in a variety of designs.

So ist aus der DE-AS 19 11 129 ein elektrischer Zugschalter bekannt, dessen Schaltmechanik eine gegen eine Rückstellfeder gelagerte und spannbare Schaltwippe aufweist, welche über ein Filmscharnier mit einem in einer Längsnut des Gehäuseoberteils geführten Schaltschieber verbunden ist, an dem unmittelbar eine Zugschnur materialeinheitlich angeformt ist. Die Schaltwippe greift mit an gegenüberliegenden Seiten angeformten Schaltnasen an Schaltnocken einer Steuerwippe an, welche zentral gelagert ist und mit ihren freien, starre Steuernocken tragenden Enden Kontaktwippen von einer stabilen Lage in eine andere stabile Lage umschaltet.For example, from DE-AS 19 11 129 an electric pull switch is known, the switching mechanism of which has a switch rocker which is mounted and can be tensioned against a return spring and which is connected via a film hinge to a slide switch guided in a longitudinal groove of the upper housing part, to which a pull cord is directly molded in the same material is. The switching rocker engages with switching lugs formed on opposite sides on switching cams of a control rocker, which is mounted centrally and with its free, rigid control cam-carrying ends, switches contact rockers from one stable position to another stable position.

Der im Stand der Technik bekannte Zugschalter, der mit vier als Schraubklemmen ausgebildeten Leiteranschlußklemmen ausgeführt ist, kann in eine 58er-UP-Wandeinbaudose nach DIN-Norm, sowie in eine UP-Wandeinbaudose nach CEE-Norm vorschriftsmäßig eingebaut werden. Der beim Einbau in eine CEE-Normdose vorgeschriebene Mindestabstand von a=6 mm zwischen der Dosenwand und spannungsführenden Teilen des Zugschalters kann dabei gewährleistet werden. Ebenso wird dabei im Bereich der Leiteranschlußklemmen einschließlich der dort angeschlossenen Leitungen das Sockelgrößtmaß gemäß CEE-Norm nicht überschritten.The pull switch known in the prior art, which is designed with four conductor connecting terminals designed as screw terminals, can be installed in a 58 mm flush-mounted wall box according to DIN standard, as well as in a flush-mounted wall box according to CEE standard. The minimum distance of a = 6 mm between the box wall and live parts of the pull switch, which is prescribed for installation in a CEE standard box, can be guaranteed. Likewise, the size of the base according to the CEE standard is not exceeded in the area of the conductor terminals, including the cables connected there.

Ausgehend vom vorgenannten Stand der Technik ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung einen als flachbauenden UP-Schalter sowohl in eine UP-Wandeinbaudose nach DIN-Norm ( ⌀ = 58 mm) als auch in eine UP-Wandeinbaudose nach CEE-Norm einpaßbaren Zugschalter mit schraubenlosen Leiteranschlußklemmen und ausreichender Schaltleistung zu schaffen, bei welchem zwischen spannungsführenden Teilen und der CEE-Normdosenwand ein Abstand a ≧ 6 mm eingehalten ist und bei welchem alle spannungsführenden Teile, insbesondere Leiteranschlußklemmen nebst Anschlußleitungsdrähten, innerhalb eines nach CEE-Norm vorgeschriebenen Gehäusesockel-Größmaßes angeordnet sind.Starting from the aforementioned prior art, it is an object of the invention a pull switch with screwless conductor connection terminals and which can be fitted as a flat flush-mounted switch both in a flush-mounted wall box according to DIN standard (⌀ = 58 mm) and in a flush-mounted wall box according to CEE standard to provide sufficient switching capacity, at which a distance of ≧ 6 mm is maintained between live parts and the CEE standard socket wall and in which all live parts, in particular conductor connecting terminals along with connecting lead wires, are arranged within a housing base size specified in accordance with the CEE standard.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten Merkmale in vorteilhafter Weise gelöst.This object is achieved in an advantageous manner by the features characterized in claim 1.

Durch die erfindungsgemäß zentralsymmetrische Ausbildung des Gehäusesockels ist eine vorschriftgemäße Einpassung des Zugschalters mit schraubenlosen Leiteranschlußklemmen nicht nur in eine DIN-Normdose, sondern auch in eine CEE-Normdose möglich. Hierbei werden die jeweils paarweise von oben oder von unten an die Anschlußklemmen herangeführten Anschlußleitungen seitlich in die generell für den Anschluß von zwei Anschlußleitungen vorgesehenen Anschlußklemmen eingeführt.Due to the central symmetrical design of the housing base according to the invention, a proper fitting of the pull switch with screwless conductor connection terminals is possible not only in a DIN standard box but also in a CEE standard box. In this case, the connecting lines brought in pairs from above or from below to the connecting terminals are laterally inserted into the connecting terminals generally provided for connecting two connecting lines.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei, daß trotz der Bestückung des Gerätesockels mit im Vergleich zu Schraubklemmen relativ viel Raum beanspruchenden schraubenlosen Anschlußklemmen noch ein hinreichend großer Schaltraum für die Erzielung ausreichender Schaltleistung zur Verfügung steht. Hierzu trägt insbesondere bei, daß der neben der asymmetrischen Anordnung der ersten und zweiten Leiteranschlußklemme auch der zwischen der ersten und der zweiten schraubenlosen Leiteranschlußklemme sich befindliche Schaltraum erfindungsgemäß dadurch asymmetrisch aufgeteilt ist, daß der Abstand des Kontaktwippenauflagerpunktes zu der ersten Leiteranschlußklemme kleiner ist als der Abstand des Kontaktwippenauflagerpunktes zu der zweiten Leiteranschlußklemme.It is particularly advantageous that in spite of the fact that the device base is equipped with screwless connecting terminals which take up a relatively large amount of space in comparison to screw terminals, a sufficiently large switching space is still available for achieving sufficient switching power. This contributes in particular to the fact that, in addition to the asymmetrical arrangement of the first and second conductor connection terminals, the switching space located between the first and the second screwless conductor connection terminal is also asymmetrically divided according to the invention in that the distance between the contact rocker support point and the first conductor connection terminal is smaller than the distance of the Contact rocker support point to the second conductor terminal.

Zudem ist es von Vorteil, daß zwecks Erreichung einer flachbauenden Schalterbauweise der Schaltmechanismus in der Ebene der Schaltkontakte und zwar zwischen diesen angeordnet ist.In addition, it is advantageous that, in order to achieve a flat switch design, the switching mechanism is arranged in the plane of the switching contacts, namely between them.

In einer Ausführungsform als Wechselschalter ist der Zugschalter vorteilhafterweise nur mit drei Anschlußklemmen bestückt.In one embodiment as a changeover switch, the pull switch is advantageously only equipped with three connecting terminals.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform als zweipoliger AUS-Schalter ist der erfindungsgemäße Zugsschalter mit vier schraubenlosen Anschlußklemmen bestückt.In a further embodiment as a two-pole OFF switch, the pull switch according to the invention is equipped with four screwless connecting terminals.

Die Erfindung soll nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels eines Zug-Wechselschalters näher beschrieben und erläutert werden.The invention will be described and explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment of a train changeover switch.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Gehäusesockel 1, in welchem vorzugsweise mit einer Klemmfeder 25 drei schraublos ausgebildete Leiteranschlußklemmen 24I, 24II, 24III einliegen. Druckschenkel 35,36 der Klemmfeder 25 klemmen jeweis zwei Anschlußleitungsdrähte 37 in Klemmnuten 38 fest. Die Anschlußleitungsdrähte 37 können mittels Klemmfederlösetasten 39 wieder gelöst werden. Ortsfeste Kontaktteile 30,31,32 sind mittels Steckfahnen 23 in die Leiteranschlußklemmen 24 kontaktierend eingesteckt. Die Steckfahnen 23 weisen vorzugsweise Sicken 9 auf, welche der besseren Verrastung der jeweiligen Steckfahne 23 in der Gehäusewand der Leiteranschlußklemmen 24 dienen. Eine Kontaktwippe 10 ist auf einem Kontaktwippenauflagerpunkt P des als starrer Lagerkontakt ausgebildeten ersten ortsfesten Kontaktteils 30 schwenkbar gelagert, wobei die Schwenkachse der Kontaktwippe 10 senkrecht zum Sockelboden des Gehäusesockels 1 gerichtet ist. Der Abstand aI des Kontaktwippenauflagerpunktes P zu der ersten Leiteranschlußklemme 24I ist kleiner als der Abstand aII des Kontaktwippenauflagerpunktes P zu der zweiten Leiteranschlußklemme 24II. An einem beweglichen Ende der Kontaktwippe 10 ist ein beweglicher Kontaktteil 22 angeordnet, welcher wahlweise und abhängig von der Wippstellung der Kontaktwippe 10 entweder einen zweiten ortsfesten Kontaktteil 31 oder einen dritten ortsfesten Kontaktteil 32 kontaktiert. Die Wippstellung der Kontaktwippe 10 wird durch einen Steuernocken 26 einer zentral im Gehäusesockel 1 schwenkbar gelagerten Steuerwippe 8 gesteuert. Der Steuernocken 26 ist in einer Ausnehmung 29 der Steuerwippe 8 axial verschiebbar und mit Hilfe einer Steuernocken-Kontaktdruckfeder 28 federnd gelagert. Auf der Steuerwippe 8 sind zwei Schaltnocken 27 angeordnet, welche durch den Eingriff zweier Schaltnasen 7 einer Schaltwippe 5 wechselweise geschaltet werden. Die Schaltwippe 5 ist mit Hilfe eines Schwenklagerzapfens 6 an einem Schaltschieber 4 schwenkbar gelagert. Der Schaltschieber 4 ist mittels eines Stegs 20 in einer Längsnut 15 eines Gehäuseoberteils 2 linear verfahrbar. Der Schaltschieber 4 weist außerdem einen angeformten Fortsatz 13 auf, an welchem endseitig lateral ein Ende einer Schwenkschieber-Rückstellfeder 3 gelagert ist, wobei der Fortsatz 13 auf einem ersten Absatz 17 des Gehäusesockels 1 aufliegt und gleitgelagert ist. Auf einem, eine Längsausnehmung 16 des Gehäuseoberteils 2 durchgreifenden Teil des Fortsatzes 13 ist ein Befestigungszapfen 14 für eine Betätigungszugschnur 21 angebracht. Schaltschieber 4 und Schaltwippe 5 bilden einen sowohl linear verfahrbaren als auch schwenkbaren Schwenkschieber 4,5. Die Schaltwippe 5 liegt auf einem zweiten Absatz 18 des Gehäusesockels 1 auf und ist gleitgelagert. Beide Flanken 11 von an der Schaltwippe 5 ausgeformten Schaltnasen 7 schlagen in einer Ruhestellung A an symmetrisch zur Verfahrbahn des Schaltschiebers 4 angeordneten Anschlägen 12 an. Hierdurch wird die Schaltwippe 5 nach jedem Schaltspiel in eine stabile Ausgangslage für den nachfolgenden Schaltvorgang gebracht.Figure 1 shows a housing base 1, in which preferably three screwless conductor terminals 24 I , 24 II , 24 III are inserted with a clamping spring 25. Pressure leg 35,36 of the clamping spring 25 clamp two connecting lead wires 37 in clamping grooves 38. The connecting line wires 37 can be released again by means of spring release buttons 39. Fixed contact parts 30, 31, 32 are inserted in contacting manner with plug-in tabs 23 in the conductor connection terminals 24. The plug-in lugs 23 preferably have beads 9, which serve for better locking of the respective plug-in lugs 23 in the housing wall of the conductor connection terminals 24. A contact rocker 10 is pivotally mounted on a contact rocker support point P of the first fixed contact part 30, which is designed as a rigid bearing contact, the pivot axis of the contact rocker 10 being perpendicular to Base floor of the housing base 1 is directed. The distance a I of the contact rocker support point P to the first conductor connection terminal 24 I is smaller than the distance a II of the contact rocker support point P to the second conductor connection terminal 24 II . At a movable end of the contact rocker 10, a movable contact part 22 is arranged, which optionally and depending on the rocking position of the contact rocker 10 contacts either a second fixed contact part 31 or a third fixed contact part 32. The rocking position of the contact rocker 10 is controlled by a control cam 26 of a control rocker 8 pivotably mounted centrally in the housing base 1. The control cam 26 is axially displaceable in a recess 29 of the control rocker 8 and resiliently mounted with the aid of a control cam contact pressure spring 28. On the control rocker 8, two switching cams 27 are arranged, which are switched alternately by the engagement of two switching lugs 7 of a switching rocker 5. The rocker switch 5 is pivotally mounted on a slide switch 4 by means of a pivot bearing pin 6. The slide switch 4 can be moved linearly by means of a web 20 in a longitudinal groove 15 of an upper housing part 2. The slide switch 4 also has an integrally formed extension 13, on the end of which one end of a pivoting slide return spring 3 is mounted laterally, the extension 13 resting on a first shoulder 17 of the housing base 1 and being slidably mounted. A fastening pin 14 for an actuating pull cord 21 is attached to a part of the extension 13 which extends through a longitudinal recess 16 of the upper housing part 2. Switch slide 4 and rocker switch 5 form a swivel slide 4, 5 that is both linearly movable and pivotable. The rocker switch 5 rests on a second shoulder 18 of the housing base 1 and is slidingly supported. Both edges 11 of on the rocker switch 5 molded switching lugs 7 strike in a rest position A at stops 12 arranged symmetrically to the travel path of the slide switch 4. As a result, the rocker switch 5 is brought into a stable starting position for the subsequent switching process after each switching cycle.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Schaltmechanik des elektrischen Zugschalters ist zwecks Erreichung einer flachbauenden Schalterbauweise in der Ebene der Kontaktteile und zwar zwischen diesen auf dem Gehäusesockel 1 angeordnet. Der Gehäusesockel 1 ist zentralsymmetrisch ausgebildet, d. h., daß die Gehäusesockelbegrenzungspunkte B₁,B₂ nebst den sie verbindenden Gehäusesockelbegrenzungslinien b₁₂,b₂₁ durch eine 180°-Drehung um ein Punktsymmetriezentrum Mo zur Deckung gebracht werden. Durch diese Maßnahmen ist es gelungen, daß der im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel eines Wechelschalters mit drei relativ viel Raum beanspruchenden schraubenlosen Anschlußklemmen 24I,24II,24III bestückte Gehäusesockel 1 in eine der CEE-Norm entsprechende UP-Wandeinbaudose eingepaßt werden kann, und daß mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Zugschalter gleichwohl hohe Schaltleistungen erreicht werden können.The switching mechanism of the electrical pull switch described above is arranged on the housing base 1 in order to achieve a flat switch design in the plane of the contact parts. The housing base 1 is formed centrally symmetrical, that is to say that the housing base limiting points B 1, B 2 and the connecting housing base limiting lines b 1 2, B 2 1 are made to coincide by a 180 ° rotation about a point symmetry center M o . These measures have made it possible that the housing base 1 equipped with three screwless connecting terminals 24 I , 24 II , 24 III in the present exemplary embodiment of a change-over switch which takes up a relatively large amount of space can be fitted into a flush-mounting wall box corresponding to the CEE standard, and with the switch according to the invention can nevertheless achieve high switching capacities.
