Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schalter, insbesondere einen Leistungsschalter für Niederspannungen, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a switch, in particular a circuit breaker for low voltages, according to the preamble of claim 1.
Leistungsschalter für Niederspannungen sind allgemein bekannt. Sie besitzen Schaltkontakte, die zur Unterbrechung der durch den Leistungsschalter fließenden Ströme mit Hilfe einer Auslösewelle geöffnet werden. Die Auslösewelle wirkt dazu mit einem verklinkten Schaltschloss zusammen, das unter der Vorspannung einer Feder steht und zur Öffnung der Schaltkontakte entklinkt wird. Das Entklinken erfolgt über ein Maglatch, d. h. einem elektromagnetischen Selbsthaltemagneten. Es umfasst einen Dauermagneten, der einen längsverschieblich gelagerten Stößel zurückhält, welcher von einer Feder in Stößel-Längsrichtung kraftbeaufschlagt ist. Zur Freigabe des Stößels dient eine den Dauermagneten umschließende Wicklung, durch die im Auslösefall ein Stromimpuls geschickt wird. Das vom Stromimpuls über die Wicklung erzeugte Magnetfeld überlagert sich mit dem des Dauermagneten; es ist so ausgerichtet, dass das Magnetfeld des Dauermagneten geschwächt wird. Die Schwächung wird jeweils so groß gewählt, dass der Stößel von der Feder aus der Wicklung gegen das Schaltschloss gedrückt wird und das Schaltschloss entklinkt.Low voltage circuit breakers are well known. They have switching contacts which are opened to interrupt the currents flowing through the circuit breaker by means of a tripping shaft. For this purpose, the tripping shaft interacts with a latched switch lock, which is under the bias of a spring and is unlatched to open the switch contacts. The unlatching takes place via a Maglatch, d. H. an electromagnetic self-holding magnet. It comprises a permanent magnet, which retains a longitudinally displaceable plunger, which is subjected to a force in the plunger longitudinal direction by a spring. To release the plunger is a permanent magnet enclosing winding, is sent through the case of triggering a current pulse. The magnetic field generated by the current pulse across the winding overlaps with that of the permanent magnet; It is designed so that the magnetic field of the permanent magnet is weakened. The weakening is chosen in each case so large that the plunger is pressed by the spring out of the winding against the switch lock and unlocks the switch lock.
Kommt es aus irgendeinem Grund zu keiner Längsverschiebung des Stößels, so wird das Schaltschloss nicht entklinkt.If, for some reason, there is no longitudinal displacement of the plunger, the switch lock will not unlatch.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Funktionsstörungen des Schalters zu erkennen und anzuzeigen, um sie beheben zu können.The object of the invention is to recognize malfunction of the switch and display in order to remedy them.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst; der Unteranspruch stellt eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung dar.The object is solved by the features of claim 1; the dependent claim is an advantageous embodiment.
Die Lösung sieht vor, dass der zeitliche Verlauf der Stromstärke des Stromimpulses erfasst und bewertet wird und dass anhand der Bewertung eine Funktionsstörung des Schalters erkannt und erfasst wird. Funktionsstörungen, die durch den Stößel bedingt sind, können auf diese Weise technisch einfach erkannt werden. Die Ursache der Funktionsstörung kann ein verklemmter Stößel sein. Weiter ist es möglich, dass eine Längsverschiebung des Stößels durch ein defektes Schaltschloss behindert wird, was sich im Blockieren der Stößelbewegung zeigt.The solution provides that the temporal course of the current strength of the current pulse is detected and evaluated, and that based on the evaluation a malfunction of the switch is detected and detected. Malfunctions that are caused by the plunger can be detected in this way technically simple. The cause of the malfunction can be a jammed pestle. Further, it is possible that a longitudinal displacement of the plunger is hindered by a defective switching mechanism, which shows in blocking the plunger movement.
Eine technisch einfache Lösung sieht vor, die Zeitdauer zu erfassen, in welcher die Stromstärke des Stromimpulses einen vorgegebenen Schwellwert über- und wieder unterschreitet und diese Zeitdauer zur Bewertung heranzuziehen.A technically simple solution provides to detect the time duration in which the current intensity of the current pulse exceeds and falls below a predetermined threshold value and to use this time period for the evaluation.
