Definitions
- the present invention relates to a switch for opening and / or closing a circuit, with a temperature-dependent switching mechanism and a housing accommodating the switching mechanism, which has an electrically conductive lower part and a closing, electrically conductive cover part, which is electrically insulated from the lower part, wherein depending on its temperature, the switching mechanism establishes an electrical connection between the cover part and the lower part and the circuit can be connected on the one hand to the cover part and on the other hand to the lower part.
- a metal housing is provided, the lower part being insulated from the cover part by the interposition of an insulating film.
- the cover part is captively attached to the lower part by a flanged edge.
- a temperature-dependent bimetal switching mechanism is provided in the interior of the housing, which comprises a spring washer which carries a movable contact part.
- a bimetallic snap disc is placed over the contact part.
- the spring washer presses the movable contact part against a projection provided on the inside of the cover part and, on the other hand, is supported with its edge on the inside on the lower part. Since the spring washer is made of an electrically conductive material, an electrical connection is made between the cover part and the lower part.
- the bimetallic snap disk snaps is supported with its edge on the inside of the cover part and presses the movable contact part away from the cover part against the force of the spring washer. Since the insulating film covers a large part of the inside of the cover part, the edge of the bimetallic disc which is now supported on the cover part is insulated from the cover part, so that after the contact part has been lifted off the projection, the electrically conductive connection between the cover part and the lower part is interrupted .
- Such switches are connected in series with an electrical consumer in a circuit, for a good thermal connection between the electrical switch and the consumer to be protected is taken care of. Due to the above-described functional principle of the bimetallic switching mechanism, the consumer is supplied with electricity as long as its temperature is so low that the response temperature of the bimetallic snap disk is not reached. If the temperature of the consumer rises above a permissible value due to a malfunction, the circuit is interrupted and the consumer is switched off to protect against excess temperatures.
- the known switch with its encapsulated metal housing is very robust and insensitive to mechanical influences, so that it satisfactorily fulfills the demands placed on it.
- this switch has the disadvantage that it automatically switches on again when the consumer cools down, so that the consumer is repeatedly switched on and off if the fault is not eliminated after the first switch-off. Such clocking switching behavior is often undesirable.
- a further switch is known from EP 0 284 916 A2 which comprises a lower part which is closed by a cover part made of thermistor material and in which the switching mechanism is arranged.
- the bimetallic switching mechanism comprises, in a known manner, a bimetallic snap disk and a spring washer on which a movable contact part is held. Below the response temperature of the bimetallic snap disk, the movable contact part is pressed by the spring washer against a fixed contact part provided on the cover part, which extends like a rivet through the cover part and merges into a head on the outside.
- the lower part is made of electrically conductive material, so that Switchgear creates a conductive connection between the lower part and the head of the fixed contact part at low temperatures.
- the cover part is in conductive connection with both the fixed contact part and with the lower part, so that it is electrically connected in parallel to the switching mechanism.
- the switching mechanism now opens due to an excessively high temperature, the current flows from the fixed contact part through the PTC thermistor resistor forming the cover part to the lower part, as a result of which the PTC resistor heats up and the switching mechanism keeps open, even if the excess temperature triggering the switching is no longer present is. In this way, the PTC resistor acts in the sense of a self-holding function.
- the cover part comprises a ceramic support part, on which a carbon resistor is arranged, which provides the self-holding function as a heating resistor.
- the cover part is made of PTC thermistor material, it does not have the required pressure stability, which is often required in the rough everyday use of the known switches.
- Such switches are in fact used to monitor the temperature of motors, heating coils, etc., and they are often exposed to strong mechanical loads as a result of the vibrations associated with the operation of the consumers to be protected. Strong pressures can also be exerted on the cover of the temperature monitor.
- the cover itself can be made of a mechanically more stable material, but it is the same as for the cover part through-connection of the thermistor material through the cover to the outside is required, which is not required in the switch discussed above.
- the switch known from EP 0 284 916 A2 thus has the advantage over the switch mentioned at the outset that it is provided with a self-holding function, but brings with it other disadvantages which lie in the complex construction and the lower mechanical strength.
- DE 43 36 564 A1 discloses another self-holding switch with a PCT resistor connected in parallel, a further heating resistor being connected in series with the switching mechanism, which ensures that the known switch is sensitive to overcurrent.
- This switch comprises a ceramic carrier plate provided with conductive and insulating coatings, on which an encapsulated bimetallic switching mechanism is arranged, next to which the PTC thermistor module sits, which is electrically connected in parallel with the switching mechanism.
- a thick-film resistor is also arranged on the ceramic carrier plate, which leads under the switching mechanism and is connected in series with it.
- the known switch is also connected in series with a consumer to be protected, so that the operating current of this consumer flows through it. At the same time, this switch is in a known manner in thermal connection with the consumer to be monitored. If the operating current of the consumer increases in an impermissible manner as a result of a defect, the series-connected thick-film resistor heats the switching mechanism to such an extent that it opens so that the PTC resistor connected in parallel takes over the current.
- this switch is also opened when the temperature of the consumer to be protected is too high, the PTC resistor also ensuring that the switchgear that is now open remains locked.
- This switch has the disadvantage that it has a relatively bulky and large construction, which is due in particular to the ceramic carrier plate.
- this object is achieved in the switch discussed at the outset in that at least one resistor is arranged directly on the inside of the housing and is connected in series with the switching mechanism between the cover part and the lower part in a switching position of the switching mechanism.
- the object underlying the invention is completely achieved in this way.
- the inventor of the present application has recognized that it is surprisingly possible to apply a resistor directly to the inside of the electrically conductive cover part or to the electrically conductive lower part and to set the required resistance value for the self-holding function and / or the overcurrent sensitivity.
- this resistor is arranged in such a way that it is connected in series with the switch mechanism when it is below the response temperature, the resistor ensures that the new switch is sensitive to current.
- the resistance should have a value between approx. 50 m ⁇ and 30 ⁇ . This can e.g. by bismuth ruthenate, which can be applied to the lid part or the bottom part by screen printing.
- the resistor is connected in series with the switching mechanism when it is above the response temperature, i.e. has opened the circuit, it ensures a self-holding function.
- the resistance value should be approx. 10 to 100 k ⁇ , which is achieved, for example, with barium titanate, which can be glued on with conductive adhesive or "sputtered on" by cathode sputtering.
- the generic switch, a switch with overcurrent sensitivity or a switch with self-holding function can be manufactured in the series production mentioned, depending on requirements, so that a kind of modular principle arises, which of course makes the whole Reduce manufacturing costs significantly.
- a further resistor is arranged directly on the inside of the housing, which is connected in series with the switching mechanism in another switching position between the cover part and the lower part.
- a resistor is now connected in series with the switching mechanism between the cover part and the lower part in both switching positions of the switching mechanism, so that in one switching position for a self-holding function and in the other Switch position for an overcurrent sensitivity of the new switch is ensured.
- the switching mechanism comprises a movable contact part which is supported by an electrically conductive spring washer which can be moved by a bimetallic snap disc and which, in a first switching position of the switching mechanism, rests on the inside against a contact area of the cover part, the spring washer engaging with it Edge supported on a contact area of the lower part.
- the advantage here is that the known switching mechanism can also be used with the new switch, so that no additional design measures are required to manufacture the new switch. This also significantly reduces costs.
- the contact part rests on the inside against a further contact area of the lower part and the edge of the spring washer is in contact with a further contact area on the cover part.
- the advantage here is that a changeover switch is provided, so to speak, but which can use the known switching mechanism.
- the generic switch it is only necessary to attach the insulating film so that the inside of the cover part is no longer insulated from the inside of the housing, i.e. from the edge of the bimetallic snap disk and / or the spring washer.
- the known switching mechanism thus connects the cover part and the lower part on the one hand in that the movable contact part on the cover part and the edge of the spring washer on the lower part abuts, while in the other switching position, the movable contact part on the lower part and the edge of the spring washer, possibly with the interposition of the edge of the bimetallic snap disc on the inside of the cover part.
- a very simple changeover switch is created, in which the individual resistors can now be arranged on the inside of the cover part and lower part as required.
- the resistance can e.g. be designed as a disc and then be arranged in the contact areas of the movable contact part on the cover part or on the bottom part.
- the resistor it is possible to design the resistor as a ring and thus to arrange it at the contact areas for the edge of the spring washer on the inside of the cover part or of the base part.
- Other geometries are also conceivable with regard to the setting of the resistance value, e.g. Meandering or spiral shapes.
- the resistance values must be set as described above by the geometric dimensions of the resistor and the specific resistance of the resistance material according to the known relationship.
- the single figure shows a basic illustration of the new switch in longitudinal section.
- 10 denotes a switch which comprises a housing 12 in which a temperature-dependent switching mechanism 13 is arranged.
- the housing 12 comprises a lower part 14 made of electrically conductive material and also a likewise electrically conductive cover part 15, which is electrically insulated from the lower part 14 by an insulating ring 16.
- the mechanical cohesion between lower part 14, cover part 15 and insulating ring 16 can e.g. be produced by a flanged edge (not shown for reasons of clarity), by gluing, by jamming or other suitable measures.
- this mechanical fastening does not play an important role for the present invention.
- the switch 10 is connected via its underside 17 and a locking recess 18 on the cover part 15 to a circuit in which it is connected in series with a consumer to be protected.
- the bimetallic switching mechanism 13 comprises a spring washer 21 which carries a movable contact part 22.
- a bimetallic snap disk 23 is placed over the movable contact part 22. In the switch position shown in Figure 1, the bimetallic snap disk is below its response temperature.
- the spring washer 21 is supported with its edge 24 on a contact area 25 on the inside of the lower part 14 and presses the movable contact part 22 against a contact area 26 which is provided on the inside on a projection 27 of the cover part 15.
- This projection 27 corresponds to the locking recess 18 on the outside of the cover part 15.
- the bimetal snap disk 23 changes from the convex shape shown to a concave shape, is supported on the inside against a further contact area 28 of the cover part 15 and is pressed then the movable contact part 22 against the force of the spring washer 21 away from the contact area 15.
- the switching mechanism 13 then finally reaches its second switching state, in which the movable contact part 22 is supported on the lower part 14 on a further contact area 29, while the edge 24 of the spring washer 21 now optionally with the bimetallic snap disk 23 interposed on the contact area 28 is present. In this way, an electrically conductive connection between the cover part 15 and the lower part 14 is again established.
- the switch 10 thus works as a changeover switch.
- resistors can optionally be attached to the contact areas 25, 26, 28, 29.
- Figure 1 there is a resistance ring 31 at the contact area 25, a resistance disk 32 on the contact area 26, a further resistance ring 33 on the contact area 28 and a further resistance disk 34 on the contact area 29.
- the resistance disk 32 and the resistance ring 31 are connected in series with the switching mechanism 13 between the cover part 15 and the lower part 14, thus causing the new switch to be sensitive to overcurrent.
- resistors 31, 32, 33, 34 are sufficient to provide only the resistors 32 and 33 on the cover part 15 or only the resistors 31 and 34 on the lower part 14.
- the resistance disc 32 "responsible for overcurrent sensitivity" on the cover part 15 is e.g. Made from bismuth ruthenate, has a diameter of 1.5 mm and a layer thickness of 0.05 mm, which results in a resistance value of approx. 4 ⁇ , which is suitable for overcurrent sensitivity.
- the resistance ring 31, which is also made of bismuth ruthenate has an outer diameter of 9 and an inner diameter of 8 mm, so that it has a total resistance of 0.5 ⁇ at a thickness of 0.05 mm, which also has a Provides overcurrent sensitivity.
- the resistance disc 29 responsible for self-retention is e.g. made of barium titanate and is a round disc with a thickness of 1 mm, which is glued on with conductive adhesive. Alternatively, e.g. conductive plastic can also be used.
- the resistance value of the resistance disk 29 is set in accordance with the known geometric relationships so that it is 10 to 100 k ⁇ in the warm state. A corresponding resistance value can also be achieved by suitable dimensioning of the resistance ring 28. It is also possible to sputter the barium titanate or a comparable PTC semiconductor by sputtering.
- Ru oxide instead of bismuth ruthenate as the resistance material, e.g. Ru oxide or Ag-Pd-Ag oxide can also be used.
