Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switch with a first and at least one second external connection and one temperature dependent rear derailleur which depending on its Temperature between the two external connections is electrical conductive connection for one to be guided by the switch produces electrical current, the switching mechanism being a switching element, that its geometric shape depends on the temperature a closed and an open position changed and in its In the closed position, the current flowing through the switch leads, and includes an actuator that with the switching element is permanently electrically and mechanically connected in series.
  • the known switch comprises a U-shaped bimetal element as a switching element with two legs of different lengths. On a movable contact part is attached to the long leg, that interacts with a switch-fixed counter contact that again with one of the two external connections in electrical conductive connection.
  • the shorter leg of the U-shaped bimetal element is on the free end of an actuator designed as a lever arm attached that with its other end firmly to the housing is connected as well as with the other of the two external connections is in an electrically conductive connection.
  • the actuator is another bimetallic element that is so on the U-shaped bimetallic element is matched that the two bimetal elements deform in opposite directions with temperature changes and thus the contact pressure between the movable contact part and the counter contact fixed to the housing.
  • This switch is intended as a breaker for high currents, which leads to a strong warming of the bimetallic elements lead, which ultimately the movable contact part is lifted off the fixed counter contact. Influences of Ambient temperature are the opposite Deformation of the bimetallic elements is compensated.
  • the two bimetal elements are very different geometrically are designed, they also have different long-term stabilities on, so that from time to time a readjustment would be required. However, this is not in use more possible, so that overall long-term stability and thus the functional reliability leaves something to be desired.
  • Another disadvantage of this construction is that large height due to the U-shaped bimetal element.
  • the known current-dependent switch is therefore structurally complex, expensive and not very reliable.
  • Another current-dependent one known from EP 0 103 792 B1 Switch has a bimetal spring tongue as a switching element on, which is attached to the one external connection and to her free end carries a movable contact part that with a Counter-contact cooperates, which at the free end of an elongated Spring element is arranged, the other end on the other external connection is attached.
  • the switch comes with its External connections in this way in series to an electrical device switched that the operating current of this switch through the bimetal spring tongue flows.
  • the known one Switch further thermally coupled to the electrical device, so that it can follow its temperature changes.
  • the bimetallic spring tongue lifts the movable one Contact from the mating contact, causing the current to flow is interrupted and the electrical device before further Heating is protected.
  • Bimetal spring tongue also due to an increased current flow be brought because the bimetal spring tongue through the flowing electric current heats up.
  • the electrical Properties of the bimetal spring tongue can now be coordinated with the mechanical properties as well as the transition temperature be set so that they are in their Is in the closed position, in which the operating current of the electrical device conducts when both the ambient temperature is below the switching temperature as well Operating current is below a response current. Elevated the operating current now exceeds the permissible value, the bimetal spring tongue heats up very quickly and reaches its crack temperature, whereupon it moves to its open position transforms.
  • This switch offers protection against overtemperature as well as overcurrent.
  • sneaking can cause that the pressure of the contact against the counter contact decreases, which creates undefined switching states.
  • the closing movement can make contact during the creeping phase gradually approach the counter contact, reducing the risk of Arc can be caused.
  • the bimetallic snap washer is centered on an adjusting screw plugged in and is pressed against the Head of this adjusting screw pressed. This head is over Solder solder attached to the adjusting screw itself, the if a temperature above the response temperature of the bimetallic snap disc is exceeded liquefied safety temperature, whereupon the compression spring then the bimetallic snap disc from the adjustment screw, causing the switch is opened irreversibly.
  • this switch has the advantage of being overheated as a result excessive current flow and associated welding another of the movable contacts on the fixed counter contacts Security mechanism intervenes. After welding the actuating force of the bimetallic snap disk is not more sufficient to move the moving contacts from the fixed Counter contacts, but the pressure force of the compression spring, after the liquefaction of the fusible link, no counterforce counteracts more.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention solved in that it comprises a security element, the first time a safety temperature is exceeded the switch regardless of its other temperature keeps open.
  • the inventor of the present application has recognized that that even with a generic switch, a security element can be used to turn the switch on once Exceeding a safety temperature permanently open too hold. There is a welding in the generic switch the contacts are not likely, but can the use of a security element not expected advantages with regard to one not caused by an excessive current flow Have temperature increase.
  • the switching element is a spring element includes, the actuating power largely independent of temperature is, and the switching element is a temperature-dependent actuating force has, which is larger than that in the creeping phase Force of the spring element.
  • the inventor of the present application has recognized that that e.g. known from DE 21 21 802 C mechanical and electrical parallel arrangement of temperature-neutral spring element and switching element in an electrical and mechanical Modified series connection and in the generic Switches can be used to take a whole host of others Unite advantages in the new switch created in this way.
  • the new switch can place more emphasis on the electrical Properties and the switching temperature are set the mechanical spring force of the switching element plays with the new switch for the first time in technology a subordinate Role, it only has to be so large that the switching element through the Spring element is not compressed too much.
  • the switching process itself becomes alone after the crawl phase caused by the switching element in its closed position is always preloaded now.
  • This biased switching element has a number of other advantages, so vibrate it is not in the magnetic field and has no risk of arcing on, because contacts are gradually opening or closing are prevented by the preload.
  • the temperature-neutral spring element exercises on the bimetal element no longer hinder its deformation, it rather resembles the deformation of the bimetal element in the creeping phase through its own deformation in such a way that movable Contact part and fixed counter contact with each other in such a way stay safely in the system for a low contact resistance is taken care of, the contact pressure remains below the Switching temperature largely independent of the temperature.
  • the creeping phase of the bimetallic element is therefore no longer as suppressed in the prior art, but balanced so to speak, the bimetal element can namely in the Deform creep phase almost unhindered, making the changes the geometry is balanced by the spring element that the switch remains securely closed.
  • the temperature-dependent positioning force of the bimetal element chosen so that they are larger in the creeping phase is the largely temperature-independent actuating force of the Spring element, which is thus the "rigid" bimetal element only "leads".
  • a big advantage of the new switch is its simple Construction, in addition to the housing-fixed counter contact is only one Bimetal element required, the spring element is temperature-neutral and therefore inexpensive. Overall, bimetal element and spring element still with respect to each other with respect to the actuating force be coordinated, but no longer also with regard to their temperature behavior, because the rear derailleur straightens yourself, so to speak. This construction is also a low height can be realized, with different Switching temperatures no new individual adjustment required is, only the bimetal element must have the same spring properties but other switching temperatures can be designed.
  • Another advantage is that tolerances and fluctuations in the switching temperature by guiding through the temperature-neutral Spring element to be balanced.
  • the security element which preferably is a compression spring that acts on the actuator
  • the compression spring is functionally between the counter contact and the switching element is arranged and further preferably before the safety temperature is exceeded for the first time is in the compressed position and in this Position is held by a fusible link, which is reached when the safety temperature melts, so that the compression spring itself can relax.
  • This construction ensures that the switching element and the actuator in normal operation below the safety temperature not influenced at all by the compression spring is, so that in addition to the low preload, the missing Another security element is applied great advantage of the new switch.
  • the service life and functional reliability of the new switch are neither due to excessive additional embossing nor by mechanical action by a security element impaired.
  • Another benefit is certain Applications in that the force of the compression spring compared with the force of the compression spring known from the prior art can be significantly lower, so that the fusible link or Reliability of the holder significantly reduced due to the fusible link Requirements are to be made as in the state of the art.
  • this also contributes to the service life and functional reliability at, because the compression spring overcoming the contact welding from US 4,885,560 A1 can with certain mechanical shocks as well as temperatures nearby but below Safety temperature due to their high pressure force cause that the head undesired early from the adjusting screw is pushed down.
  • the compression spring in the invention new switch only has to be against the force of Spring element work so that a lower pressure force and thus a safe hold below the safety temperature becomes possible.
  • the spring element at its first end with the first connection element and at its second end is connected to the switching element, wherein preferably by the spring element, the switching element in its Closed position with its free end against one with the second connection element connected counter contact is pressed and in its open position its free end from the mating contact takes off, which is preferably arranged switch-resistant is, preferably also the switching element on his free end carries a movable contact part that with the mating contact cooperates.
  • first external connection has a Connection electrode is connected to which the spring element with is attached to its first end, and if preferably the second outer connection connected to a second connection electrode and the rear derailleur between the first and the second Connection electrode is arranged.
