Patent number: 11578862Abstract: An explosion-proof housing includes at least one metal housing part having at least one of a housing opening or receiving surface, and a support edge bordering said at least one of a housing opening or receiving surface. A cover part covers said at least one of a housing opening or the receiving surface. The cover part includes a peripheral cover edge which is connected to the support edge in an explosion-proof manner such that in the event of an explosion inside the housing, the explosion is prevented from crossing over to an explosive atmosphere surrounding the housing. A plurality of connection points are formed between the support edge and the cover edge. The connection points include interlocking depressions and protrusions. The protrusions are formed by partial melting of the cover edge. The depressions and the protrusions interlock with play in a longitudinal direction of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Reiner Naumann, Jens Burmeister, Toni Ott

Publication number: 20220077664Abstract: A switching and/or distributing device has at least one receiving housing and a housing cover. Arranged in at least one housing rail region are one or a plurality of power distribution rails which extend substantially in a main plane and arc connected to sub-distribution rails. In at least a first plane, said sub-distribution rails extend substantially in parallel to the main plane and arc electrically insulated from one another and extend in the direction of at least one housing component region, wherein in the housing component region, in particular modular components, which contain electrical/electronic operating means, arc in electrical contact with one sub-distribution rail each. As a result, a switching and/or distributing device is improved in such a way that the arrangement of corresponding components is possible easily without much additional effort even in potentially explosive atmospheres and a plurality of components of different ty pes and of different sizes can be arranged at the same time.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2019Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Richard Ellis Rothenberger, Michael Rene Ketterer, Reiner Naumann, Marco Knab, Dieter Sauer, Toni Ott

Publication number: 20220005652Abstract: The invention relates to a switch having a switch housing, a number of module-type individual interrupter chambers which can be arranged in particular side by side in the switch housing and having at least two switching contact elements, and an actuating device which closes off the switch housing above the individual interrupter chambers. This actuating device serves to adjust a cam element for the selective establishment of an electrical connection between the switching contact elements of an individual interrupter chamber. The switching contact elements can be arranged in at least two different orientations in each individual interrupter chamber in an explosion-protected manner. Furthermore, in particular the cam element of the actuating device can be arranged differently depending on the orientation of the switching contact elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2019Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: Frank Bacher, Frank Hieronymus, Marco Knab, Toni Ott
