Description

La présente invention a pour objet un circuit magnétique feuilleté à entrefer fixe, composé d'une partie en E et d'une partie en 1 et dans lequel la longueur des barres d'extrémité de la partie en E détermine l'épaisseur de l'entrefer en face de la barre médiane de cette partie en E.The subject of the present invention is a laminated magnetic circuit with a fixed gap, composed of an E-shaped part and a 1-shaped part and in which the length of the end bars of the E-shaped part determines the thickness of the air gap in front of the middle bar of this part in E.

Le but de l'invention est un tel circuit feuilleté convenant par exemple à un ballast pour lampes fluorescentes présentant des garanties élevées de maintien de sa valeur de réactance pendant la durée de vie et offrant des facilités d'ajustage de la valeur de réactance lors de sa fabrication.The object of the invention is such a laminated circuit suitable for example for a ballast for fluorescent lamps having high guarantees of maintenance of its reactance value during the service life and offering facilities for adjusting the reactance value during its manufacture.

Le circuit magnétique suivant l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le côté de la partie en I reposant sur les barres d'extrémité de la partie en E forme avec les côtés à l'extrémité de la partie en 1 un angle obtus et en ce que les deux barres d'extrémité de la partie en E possèdent chacune un prolongement disposé l'un de l'autre à la distance de la longueur de la partie en 1 pour embrasser la partie en I en épousant le dit angle obtus.The magnetic circuit according to the invention is characterized in that the side of the part in I resting on the end bars of the part in E forms with the sides at the end of the part in 1 an obtuse angle and in this that the two end bars of the part in E each have an extension disposed one of the other at the distance of the length of the part in 1 to embrace the part in I by marrying said obtuse angle.

L'invention est expliquée ci-dessous par rapport à un exemple d'une forme d'exécution en se référant au dessin annexé.The invention is explained below with respect to an example of an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawing.

La figure 1 du dessin est une coupe d'un circuit magnétique suivant l'invention, menée entre deux lamèlles de feuilletage des parties en E et en I. La figure 2 est une vue d'une tôle à découper.Figure 1 of the drawing is a section of a magnetic circuit according to the invention, carried out between two laminating lamellas of the parts at E and at I. Figure 2 is a view of a sheet to be cut.

Dans un boîtier 1, une partie en E, comprenant deux bras d'extrémité 2 et un bras médian 3 plus court de l'épaisseur de l'entrefer est recouverte d'une partie en 1 4. Le côté de la partie 4 reposant sur les barres 2 forme avec les côtés à l'extrémité de la partie 4 un angle obtus α. Les deux barres 2 possèdent chacune un prolongement 5. Les deux prolongements 5 sont disposés l'un de l'autre à la distance de la longueur de la partie 4 pour embrasser la partie 4 en épousant l'angle obtus α. Grâce à cette disposition, la partie 4 est maintenue correctement centrée sur la partie en E. Les dimensions sont choisies de telle manière que la portée est assurée entre les extrémités de la partie 4 en I et les parties des barres 2 parallèles à l'extrémité du bras médian et qu'un léger coincement soit assuré entre la partie 4 et les parties obliques des prolongements 5, de manière que le flux principal trouve une section de passage suffisante et que le flux de dispersion à l'endroit des contacts entre partie 4 et barres 2 soit réduit à une valeur très faible. De plus, ainsi les lignes de ce flux de dispersion ne passent pas à travers le boîtier 1 et n'engendrent pas de bruits. L'angle obtus α est par exemple de 91 à 120°. Il est choisi relativement proche d'un angle droit, afin d'éviter que la partie 4 ne se détache de la partie en E.In a housing 1, a part at E, comprising two end arms 2 and a median arm 3 shorter than the thickness of the air gap is covered with a part at 1 4. The side of part 4 resting on the bars 2 form with the sides at the end of the part 4 an obtuse angle α. The two bars 2 each have an extension 5. The two extensions 5 are arranged one from the other at the distance of the length of the part 4 to embrace the part 4 by marrying the obtuse angle α. Thanks to this arrangement, the part 4 is kept correctly centered on the part in E. The dimensions are chosen so that the span is ensured between the ends of the part 4 in I and the parts of the bars 2 parallel to the end of the middle arm and that a slight wedging is ensured between part 4 and the oblique parts of the extensions 5, so that the main flow finds a sufficient passage section and that the dispersion flow at the location of the contacts between part 4 and bars 2 is reduced to a very low value. In addition, thus the lines of this dispersion flux do not pass through the housing 1 and do not generate noise. The obtuse angle α is for example from 91 to 120 °. It is chosen relatively close to a right angle, in order to prevent part 4 from detaching from the part at E.

Comme la partie 4 est maintenue centrée par rapport à la partie en E, il est facile d'ajuster la valeur moyenne de l'entrefer ou ce qui revient au même la valeur de la réactance s'il s'agit du circuit magnétique d'une self de ballast par exemple. Pour ce faire, il suffit de déformer par enfoncements ponctuels dosés et limités en un ou plusieurs endroits une ou plusieurs lamelles du feuilletage de la partie 4 en I pour qu'elles se rapprochent de la barre 3. Le fait de procéder par enfoncements ponctuels, équidistants ou non, permet de ne pas introduire un matériau distancier, déformable plastiquement dans l'entrefer, comme par exemple de l'aluminium, comme cela se fait par exemple si la totalité de la partie en I fait l'objet d'un enfoncement.As part 4 is kept centered with respect to the part at E, it is easy to adjust the mean value of the air gap or what amounts to the same value of the reactance if it is the magnetic circuit of a ballast choke for example. To do this, it suffices to deform by punctual depressions dosed and limited in one or more places one or more lamellas of the lamination of the part 4 in I so that they approach the bar 3. The fact of proceeding by punctual depressions, equidistant or not, makes it possible not to introduce a distant material, plastically deformable in the air gap, such as aluminum, as is done for example if the entire part in I is the subject of a depression .

Pour faciliter ces enfoncements ponctuels, on peut affaiblir la section des lamelles de la partie en 1 4 en face de la barre 3, notamment en y poinçonnant des trous 6. Il est à remarquer ici que ces trous 6 ne doivent pas servir à l'assemblage du feuilletage de la partie 4. Si toutefois on désirait utiliser les trous 6 à l'assemblage du feuilletage de la partie 4, le diamètre des trous 6 devrait être sensiblement plus grand que le diamètre d'une broche qui les traverse pour permettre précisément les enfoncements ponctuels de certains lames. Comme l'ajustage par enfoncement ne se fait pas sur toutes les lames, l'entrefer devient un peu irrégulier. On évite les inconvénients de cette irrégularité en choisissant par exemple une série équidistante d'endroits où on pratique les enfoncements.To facilitate these punctual depressions, one can weaken the section of the lamellae of the part 1 4 opposite the bar 3, in particular by punching holes therein 6. It should be noted here that these holes 6 must not be used for assembly of the lamination of part 4. If, however, it was desired to use the holes 6 in the assembly of the lamination of part 4, the diameter of the holes 6 should be substantially greater than the diameter of a pin passing through them to allow precisely the specific depressions of certain blades. As the push-in adjustment is not done on all the blades, the air gap becomes a little irregular. The disadvantages of this irregularity are avoided by choosing, for example, an equidistant series of places where the indentations are practiced.

Lorsque le circuit magnétique feuilleté décrit est utilisé dans un ballast selon le brevet français 1 291 362, des canaux d'imprégnation sont réserves ainsi le long non seulement de l'entrefer et de la bobine, mais aussi des trous 6 qui ménagent un canal d'imprégnation à un endroit particulièrement critique susceptible d'être source de bruits, parce qu'il se trouve en face de l'entrefer. D'atures canaux d'imprégnation sont ménagés entre les extrémités des bras 2 et le boîtier où toute pression en direction de la partie 4 est évitée afin de ne pas compromettre le contact principal entre les parties en E et en I.When the laminated magnetic circuit described is used in a ballast according to French patent 1 291 362, impregnation channels are thus reserved along not only the air gap and the coil, but also holes 6 which provide a channel d 'impregnation in a particularly critical location likely to be a source of noise, because it is opposite the air gap. Immature impregnation channels are provided between the ends of the arms 2 and the housing where any pressure in the direction of part 4 is avoided so as not to compromise the main contact between the parts at E and at I.

L'invention permet aussi d'obtenir une plus grande précision de l'entrefer dès le départ. En effet, comme le montre la vue d'une tôle 8 à découper, figure 2, les faces définissant l'entrefer sont découpées par un poiçonnage (surface hachurée 9) beaucoup plus précis qu'un cisaillage qui a lieu selon la ligne 10.The invention also makes it possible to obtain greater precision of the air gap from the start. In fact, as shown in the view of a sheet 8 to be cut, FIG. 2, the faces defining the air gap are cut by a punching (hatched surface 9) much more precise than a shearing which takes place along line 10.
