Electrical switching device
An electrical switching device includes a first switching contact piece and a second switching contact piece. The switching contact pieces can be displaced in relation to each other. The first switching contact piece is surrounded by a fluid flow guiding device. An enveloping contour of a flow duct, disposed between the fluid flow guiding device and the first switching contact piece, is greater at its end facing the second switching contact piece than an enveloping contour of the first switching contact piece at its end facing the second switching contact piece.
1. An electrical switching device, comprising:
a first switching contact piece and a second switching contact piece, said switching contact pieces being movable relative to one another, said first switching contact piece having a lateral surface side and an enveloping contour with an end facing said second switching contact piece;
a fluid flow guiding device surrounding said lateral surface side of said first switching contact piece and forming a flow duct delimited between said fluid flow guiding device and said first switching contact piece, said flow duct having an enveloping contour with an end facing said second switching contact piece; and
at least said end of said enveloping contour of said flow duct facing said second switching contact piece, being larger than said end of said enveloping contour of said first switching contact piece facing said second switching contact piece.
2. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said first switching contact piece has an outer lateral surface and an end facing said second switching contact piece, said outer lateral surface of said first switching contact piece at said end facing said second switching contact piece being accessible from a radial direction.
3. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said first switching contact piece has an end facing said second switching contact piece and protruding beyond said fluid flow guiding device.
4. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said first switching contact piece is a bolt-shaped switching contact piece.
5. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said first switching contact piece is bolt-shaped, said second switching contact piece is bushing-shaped, and said fluid flow guiding device guides a fluid flow around said bolt-shaped first switching contact piece to said bushing-shaped second switching contact piece.
6. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said fluid flow guiding device and said first switching contact piece are movable.
7. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said fluid flow guiding device is disposed at a fixed angle relative to said first switching contact piece.
8. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said first switching contact piece is hollow at least in sections.
9. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein a fluid flow is guided both inside and outside said first switching contact piece.
10. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein a fluid flow traverses a wall of said first switching contact piece.
11. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said flow duct delimited by said first switching contact piece and said fluid flow guiding device has a substantially ring-shaped cross section.
12. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , which further comprises a shielding hood of said second switching contact piece, said shielding hood having an opening being blocked by said fluid flow guiding device in a contact-connected state of said switching contact pieces.
13. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said first switching contact piece has an erosion-resistant region being free of radial overlapping by said fluid flow guiding device.
14. The electrical switching device according to claim 1 , wherein said switching contact pieces have end sides, and said switching contact pieces are displaceable relative to one another with said end sides situated opposite one another.
15. The electrical switching device according to claim 5 , wherein said bushing-shaped second switching contact piece has a centering pin in a bushing opening.
