Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electromagnetic switching device with an electromagnet and a movable armature, which is mounted in the switching device with a force acting against the closing force and different in an open position of zero holding force.
  • FIG. 1 contains such a switching device, an electromagnet 1 with a magnetic yoke 2, on the example, two magnetic coils 4 are arranged for magnetic excitation.
  • An armature 6 associated with the magnetic yoke 2 is resiliently mounted in a housing 10 of the switching device which is illustrated only symbolically by a return arrangement constructed from two return springs 8 connected in parallel.
  • Magnetic yoke 2, solenoid 4 and armature 6 form an electromagnetic drive of the switching device.
  • the armature 6 is non-positively connected via a prestressed contact spring 12 with a movable contact bridge 14.
  • the movable contact bridge 14 are associated with two fixed contact carrier 16.
  • the magnet armature 6 forms the actuator of the magnetic drive for the relative movement between the contact bridge 14 and the contact carrier sixteenth
  • the contact bridge 14 and the fixed contact carrier 16 are each provided with contact pieces or contacts 18.
  • the switching contact formed by the movable contact bridge 14 and the fixed contact carrier 16 is in the open position (OPEN position).
  • the return springs 8 are biased so that the armature 6 is pressed in the rest position of the OPEN position with a biasing or holding force F 0 against a stop 22.
  • FIG. 2 now shows a situation in which the contacts 18 touch the first time, the armature 6 has thus covered a distance s 0 .
  • the further closing movement of the armature 6 is now carried out against the force exerted by the return springs 8 increasing spring forces and in addition against the action of the force exerted by the parallel contact spring 12, also increasing spring force. Since the spring force exerted by the preloaded contact spring 12 is significantly greater than the spring force exerted by the return spring 8, the total restoring force acting on the armature 6 increases abruptly.
  • the associated force curve is in FIG. 4 applied.
  • the force exerted on the armature 6 by the return springs 8 and the contact spring 12 restoring force F against the distance d between the pole faces 60, 20 of the armature 6 and the magnetic yoke 2 is applied.
  • the curve shows that the return springs 8 (FIG. FIG. 1 ) in the OPEN position the Holding force F 0 exercise. If current flows through the magnetic coils 4, the armature 6 moves under the action of the force exerted by the electromagnet 1 attraction and against the action of the return springs 8 toward the pole faces 20 of the magnetic yoke 2.
  • the holding force F 0 exerted on the magnet armature 6 in the OPEN position secures the switching device in this position against accidental closing in the case of external mechanical vibration or impact load. Accordingly, during the entire distance traveled between d 0 and d S , the magnet armature 6 must always overcome the restoring force F exerted by the return springs 8, starting from a finite value required for mechanical securing of the magnet armature 6 in the OPEN position (holding force F 0 ) increases successively. In order nevertheless to achieve short switching times (high closing forces), it is therefore necessary to design and dimension the magnet system 2, 4, 6 such that the magnetic force acting on the magnet armature 6 is significantly higher than the restoring force exerted by the return springs 8. A disadvantage is the constant increase in the restoring forces over the entire working range (magnetic lifting). This results in relatively large, unneeded forces that must be overcome by a correspondingly powerful designed magnetic drive.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an electromagnetic switching device with a magnetic armature, wherein the armature in an OPEN position with the electromagnet switched off by high holding forces on the one hand is securely fixed and on the other hand, the necessary for accelerating the magnet armature magnetic force is significantly reduced.
  • the electromagnetic switching device includes an electromagnet and a movable armature which acts in the switching device with a force acting against the closing force and in an OPEN position of zero a different holding force is mounted, which is formed at least in part by a stationary in the switching device outside of the magnetic and magnet armature formed magnetic circuit arranged magnetic arrangement with a permanent magnet which exerts on the armature a dependent of the location of the armature restoring force, which in the OPEN- Position is maximum.
  • the return spring can be designed with a smaller spring constant such that it has only a small holding force in the OPEN position.
  • OPEN position generally refers to an operating situation of the switching device in which the electromagnet is de-energized and does not exert any magnetic force on the magnet armature.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that the restoring force exerted on a movable magnet armature by a stationary permanent magnet in the switching device decreases with increasing distance between magnet armature and permanent magnet, so that on the one hand high holding forces are achieved in the OPEN position, and on the other hand with increasing distance of the magnet armature from the permanent magnet remove the restoring forces inhibiting its movement, so that high accelerations of the armature can be achieved even with smaller forces exerted by the magnetic drive forces.
  • An electromagnetic switching device in which the holding force exerted on the magnet armature in the OPEN position is supported by a permanent magnet is basically already known from DE 196 08 729 C1 known.
  • There two plate-shaped permanent magnets between an inner and outer yoke of an electromagnet are arranged. In the OPEN position, the magnet armature abuts with its armature plate on the outer yoke.
  • Anchor plate, outer yoke, permanent magnet inner yoke and plunger core of the armature form in this way a closed magnetic circuit. Since the permanent magnet is disposed between the outer and inner yoke of the electromagnet, the known switching device can only be operated with direct current or with pulsed direct current. In addition, under certain circumstances, a current control is necessary, which limits the electrical holding power.
  • the magnetic circuit must have a two-part yoke.
  • the magnet assembly is disposed outside the magnetic circuit formed of electromagnet and armature, that does not affect this, the electromagnet can be energized both with direct current and with alternating current. By increasing the inductance in the closed state also results in a reduced alternating current automatically.
  • An electromagnetic switching device in which the magnet armature is held by a permanent magnet in rest position, is out of GB 765 256 A known.
  • the return assembly is in the example by return springs 8, of which in the FIG only one is shown (holding force F 10 ), as well as by at least one permanent magnet 32 containing magnet assembly formed on the armature 6 a magnetic force (holding force F 20 ) exerts.
  • the permanent magnet 32 is arranged in the direction of movement 33 of the closing movement of the armature 6 seen before this and its pole axis 34 extends parallel to the direction of movement 33.
  • the magnet arrangement with the permanent magnet 32 is arranged outside a magnetic circuit 38 formed by the electromagnet 1 and the magnet armature 6 and shown dashed in the FIG so that it does not influence it.
  • the resulting at d H holding force F 0 composed of the holding force F 10 of the return spring and the holding force F 20 of the permanent magnet in the OPEN position.
  • Curve a shows the course of the restoring force F 1 exerted by the return spring (s ) , which is analogous to that in FIG FIG. 4 shown force profile with decreasing distance d increases linearly.
  • Curve b illustrates the course of the restoring force F 2 exerted on the magnet armature by the permanent magnet as a function of the distance d of the magnet armature from the magnet yoke of the electromagnet.
  • the permanent magnet 32 may still be provided with an additional baffle 40 on its pole face facing away from the magnet armature 6. This reduces the air path of the field lines and the holding force of the permanent magnet is amplified.
  • FIG. 6 Alternatively to the in FIG. 5,6 and 8th illustrated embodiment according to the Polachse 34 of the permanent magnet in the direction of the force exerted by him parallel to the direction of movement 33 of the closing movement of the armature 6 - when the back of the armature 34 is flat, perpendicular to this back - directed, can also according to FIG. 6 a magnet arrangement may be provided, in which the pole axis 34 of the permanent magnet 32 is oriented perpendicular to this direction of movement 33 magnet armature 6.
  • lateral guide plates 42 may be arranged. With the help of the dimensions of the baffles 42 also useful and leakage fluxes can be controlled.
  • FIG. 9 In addition, a situation is shown in which the magnet armature 6 rests in the open position on the baffles.
  • return springs 8 compression springs are shown in the embodiments. In principle, it is also possible to use for the return springs 8 in another arrangement in the switching device tension springs.
