Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a current collector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a variable transformer with such a current collector.
  • Pantographs are known in various embodiments.
  • variable transformers such as ring or column-type transformers
  • specific problems may arise which result from the fact that the conventional current collectors sometimes bridge two adjacent turns. Since there is a potential difference between the windings, a short-circuit current occurs, which in turn leads to heating and causes damage (burning) of the winding.
  • relatively high-resistance contacts are used, which limit the short-circuit current between the segments (turns).
  • Most are the well-known Contact pieces made of carbon, because only so the comparatively high resistance of> 0.05 ⁇ can be realized. The contact pieces of carbon, however, suffer from heavy abrasion and thus high wear.
  • a contact zone is dimensioned such that it contacts the surface of only one stripped turn.
  • This pair of pantographs is mechanically complex conception, since the individual pantographs must be movable in the vertical direction against each other to overcome the filled with insulating material and sometimes raised intermediate pieces.
  • the current collectors shown there are not practical if the turns have a small diameter of about 1 mm.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a simply constructed and inexpensive to be manufactured pantograph, which contributes to avoid excessive heating at the contact point and in which it is avoided that the gap between the contact pieces is subjected to abrasion.
  • the pantograph is an essential to the invention is to make this by the two rigidly coupled electrically insulated contacts so that it rests either with two contact pieces simultaneously on a segment respectively on a turn or that he with a contact piece on the one and with the other contact piece rests on the other segment or contactlessly above the gap.
  • the current collector is to be designed such that it does not sink current in any position with a single contact piece from two adjacent turns and thus causes a short circuit in the immediate vicinity of the turns. Heating with the consequences of damage is therefore excluded according to the invention.
  • the pantograph on two successively and laterally offset from each other arranged contact pieces.
  • the two contact zones on a common contact surface which may be curved or flat, lie, with the contact surface of the gap between two adjacent segments can be bridged.
  • This feature is important so that the pantograph does not slip between the segments and possibly cause a short circuit there.
  • the pantograph thus always moves as a unit in a plane and is supported by the stripped segments.
  • a sufficiently good contact is ensured at each moment, so that the danger of overheating is minimized by small contact cross-sections.
  • the current collector according to the invention has various advantages, which result from the fact that the heat generation is avoided because of the almost zero resistance of the current collector in the immediate vicinity of the stripped winding. This applies to the short-circuit current between two adjacent windings and also to the load current removed by the current collector. On the one hand, there is generally an increased safety of the electrical device equipped with the current collector. The safety results from the significantly lower heat load of the insulation, for example a copper enameled wire.
  • variable transformer provides sufficient power for continuous operation, but sometimes it must be charged excessively for a short time. Even with such a short "overload” is given sufficient security. Overall, it is advantageous that a larger power can be taken from the variable transformers, without resulting in damage. Thus, the customer for the smaller and Decide lower-cost device whose range of performance had just not been sufficient before.
  • the contact zones are each flat and lie in a common contact plane.
  • the Contact pieces of the current collector can also be slightly inclined with respect to each other with their contact zones in order to ensure good running properties and optimum contact, for example, with a cylindrical winding surface.
  • the contact pieces are of a similar design and are arranged one after the other in the direction of the displacement by means of an insulator.
  • the current collector it is advantageous for the current collector to have two contact pieces arranged one behind the other and laterally offset from one another.
  • the contact pieces are each made in one piece from metal. Brass or bronze are to be preferred because of their excellent sliding properties. Metal contacts can be made with low resistance. Finally, low-resistance contact pieces with a resistance of in particular less than 0.001 ⁇ are expedient for avoiding local heating. In contrast to contact pieces made of carbon, the abrasion in contact pieces made of metal is much lower. Also, the metal contact pieces solve the problem that the contact piece in the form of a coal roller can clamp on the axis of the pantograph and after a short time a flat surface is ground, which bridges several turns. Burning of the windings and the entire transformer due to a short circuit is thus avoided.
  • the contact pieces are electrically connected to one another via a simple line path containing a defined series resistor.
  • the Conductor line resistors are introduced, which are not arranged in the immediate vicinity of the winding and can easily be discharged through the heat.
  • the winding is wound from a wire which has a substantially rectangular cross-section. Since there is the danger that in such a winding the parallel turns on the blanked surface short-circuit, for example by the current collector, necessarily a correspondingly wide insulating gap in the form of a joint or a gap between two adjacent turns at least in the bare surface be provided. This can be subsequently introduced, for example, by milling in the surface. But it is also possible and also advantageous to prepare the wire before winding so that the joint results automatically.
  • the wire then has a defined geometry at the contact point. Because of the necessary gap or joint, the otherwise rectangular geometry of the wire must be broken in some sense, thus creating a "substantially" rectangular cross-section. It is important that the base surface and the side surfaces are arranged perpendicular to each other.
  • the "rectangular" wire can be used not only in the previously described and equipped with the pantograph according to the invention variable transformers, but generally used with any variable transformers.
  • a thicker wire would not provide any advantage in that while the winding temperature could be lowered, the temperature at the point of contact produced by the current collector would not decrease.
  • the use of the "rectangular" wire is thus useful, in particular in connection with the current collectors according to the invention.
  • the parallel turns of "square" wire which are separated from each other only by a thin layer of varnish would also be short-circuited by the current collector according to the invention in the absence of a joint. A machining or a special geometry of the wire to produce a joint is therefore imperative. This groove forming a depression, which is only slightly wider than a contact zone of the current collector, must be provided.
  • the FIG. 1 shows the diagram of a variable transformer with a primary winding 1 with N 1 turns and a secondary winding 2 with N 2 turns, both of which include a common iron core 3.
  • the variable transformer which may also be designed as a so-called Spartrafo, a current collector 4 for sliding sliding on a contact section 5, wherein the contact section 5 of mutually parallel and against each other by paint 6 (Fig. FIG. 2 ) insulated turns 7 of enameled copper wire of the secondary winding 2 is formed.
  • the current collector 4 has two contact pieces 8a and 8b which are electrically insulated from each other by an insulator 15 and each contact the winding surface and thus the contact path 5 with a contact zone 9.
  • the width of a contact zone 9 is dimensioned such that it contacts the surface 10 of only one stripped winding 7 in each case.
  • the individual windings 7 thus lie on the common winding surface and are separated from each other by the insulating gap.
  • the pantograph 4 is displaceable over the contact section 5, wherein to avoid a short circuit between two adjacent turns 7, the width of a contact zone 9 of a contact piece 8 a and 8 b is smaller than the width of a gap 11 and wherein the gap 11 with the common contact surface of two contact zones of the contact pieces 8a and 8b is formed, is bridged, as in FIG. 2 is shown.
  • the width of a contact zone 9 is dimensioned such that the current collector always contacts a winding 7 with at least one of the two contact zones 9 when passing over the contact section 5. How out FIG. 2 can be seen, the level of the insulator located in the gap 11, which is here formed by the paint 6, below or equal to the level of the winding surface.
  • the contact pieces 8 are electrically connected to each other via a line section 12, wherein the line section 12 by the interposition of two resistive elements 13 has a defined resistance.
  • the load is taken at node 14.
  • FIG. 3 shows three turns of a winding which is wound with "rectangular" wire.
  • the individual windings 16 are arranged abutting parallel next to each other, wherein the insulation 17, the windings 16 each separates.
  • the upper edge 18 of a turn, the wire is phased, with the phase cutting through the wire and insulation.
  • the phases form in cross-section triangular gaps between two adjacent turns 16.
  • the columns are filled with plastic 19.
  • the bare surfaces of the turns lie on a common contact surface 20.
  • FIG. 4 shows three variants of wire cross sections, wherein the variant a) has a recess 21, which in adjacent turns also columns as under FIG. 3 form.
  • the variant b) the upper surface of the wire is rounded, so that when juxtaposed turns symmetrical columns arise.
  • the variant c) is also symmetrical and has two recesses 21.
  • Such a variant can also be produced by a rolling process, wherein the insulation is abraded subsequently.
