Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for automatically connecting electrical and / or fluid circuits between two devices, at least one of which is mobile, comprising on each of the devices at least one coupling element and on one of the devices a system of coupling.
  • Devices for automatic connection of electrical and fluid circuits between two trains of railway equipment comprising a mechanical coupling member with locking mechanism, and electrical and pneumatic couplers coupled or uncoupled by a common jack.
  • Such devices are suitable for railway material, where an operator can manually control couplings or uncouplings on site, or at least come to control them when they are controlled remotely from a driving cabin. They are more difficult to use when the positioning accuracy of the devices is lower, for example in the case of coupling of pocket wagons of molten material to be connected to a fixed station, or else of the order in the pocket steel industry. casting from a transport member thereof from a loading station to a casting station, where the operator is exposed to projections of molten metal.
  • the object of the present invention is to allow rapid automatic coupling and uncoupling of electrical and / or fluid circuits between two devices, the positioning of which relative to one another cannot be ensured with precision, or in a dangerous environment. , without requiring the presence of an operator near the circuit coupling members. It is provided with safety systems intended to avoid false operations in such automatic coupling and uncoupling operations.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that it> further comprises on each device two return devices in the alignment axis in two directions perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to this axis, on the one hand of the coupling cylinder, on the other hand of the coupling element of the device not carrying by the coupling cylinder.
  • the pivot 1 consists of a left part 2 supporting the pocket 4, and a right part 3 supporting the pocket 5.
  • the left halves of the pocket 4 and the right halves of the pocket 5 are shown in section horizontal.
  • the two parts 2 and 3 of the pivot rotate around an axis 7.
  • access bridges for the personnel 8 and 9 On either side of the pivot are arranged access bridges for the personnel 8 and 9.
  • On the upper left part of the figure are represented schematically all of the electrical and pneumatic connection members 10 of the pivot and 11 of the pocket 4. The same applies to the connection members of the pocket 5.
  • FIG. 2 the cradle 12 of the pocket receiving pivot 4 is seen in elevation and the assembly 10 of the electrical and pneumatic connection members of the pivot, seen according to arrow II in FIG. 1.
  • This assembly is protected from possible projections of molten steel by a U-shaped cover of thick sheets 13, 14, 15 surrounding it on three sides, also visible in FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 4 shows on an enlarged scale, with partial section through a horizontal plane, the detail IV of FIG. 1.
  • the pneumatic coupling cylinder 20 the return device in the axis 21 thereof in a horizontal plane by rotation about the vertical axis 21A, as well as the female part 27 of pneumatic connection secured to the pivot.
  • the male part 28 of pneumatic connection secured to the pocket 4 and comprising a guide cone 44.
  • the part 28 is carried by a ball joint 29, itself carried by a part 30 fixed on the wall of the pocket 4. It is protected from steel projections by a cover made of thick sheet 31.
  • the return device in the axis 32, resting on the axis 33 secured to the sheet 34 fixed to the wall of the pocket, ensures its recall in the axis in a horizontal plane.
  • FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic elevation view of the connection device according to arrow V in FIG. one of the return devices in the axis 23 of the device regulating its inclination around its horizontal axis, the female part 27 of pneumatic coupling, the member 37 of electric coupling and the actuator 38 for controlling the electrical coupling.
  • the male pneumatic coupling part 28 supported by the fixed part 30 by means of the ball joint 29, sees its orientation around its horizontal axis adjusted by a return device in the axis 35 resting on axis 36 fixed on the sheet 40.
  • On this pneumatic coupling piece is fixed the coupling piece electric 39 ,. facing the coupling part 37 integral with the pivot.
  • Figure 6 shows on a larger scale in elevation the connection device of Figure 5, in the uncoupling position.
  • the female coupling part 27 pneumatic comprising the two pipe junctions 47 and 48 (for example one for air, the other for argon), and a sensor 51 from the position of the part 27 in contact with the part 28, and intended to control the electrical coupling operation when the pneumatic coupling is produced.
  • Two control rods are associated with the control cylinder 20 of the pneumatic coupling, of which only one 45 is visible.
  • the male pneumatic coupling part 28 comprises a guide cone 44 facilitating the mutual centering of the pneumatic couplings comprising the pipe junctions 49 and 50, and thus allowing the coupling even with an approximate positioning of the pocket relative to the pivot.
  • the electrical coupling members associated with the pivot include the movable racking part 37, hidden in the uncoupling position by the cover 41, the latter disappearing by rotation of 90 ° in position 41A when the racking piece is pushed in the coupling position 37A by its jack 38, with which are associated two guide rods, of which only one 46 is visible.
  • a sensor 52 for detecting the position of the part 37 controls an electrical contact allowing pneumatic uncoupling only when the electrical decoupling is already carried out.
  • the racking part 37 associated with the pivot is the fixed part 39 associated with the ladle. This last part is also hidden in the uncoupling position by the cover 42, which also disappears by rotation of 90 ° during the electrical coupling.
  • Figure 7 shows the same connection device as Figure 6, but in the pneumatic and electrical coupling position.
  • the pipe junctions 47 and 49 on the one hand, 48 and 50 on the other hand, are produced under the effect of the actuation of the jack 20, which pushes back the rod 53 and the guide rods 45.
  • connection device also comprises a pneumatic or electrical safety circuit (not shown) enabling the pneumatic and electrical junctions to be quickly uncoupled in the event of a pocket operating incident.
  • the invention advantageously applies, as described with reference to the figures, to the automatic connection of electrical and fluid circuits between a pivot and a ladle for pouring liquid material.
  • it also has other applications, in particular to connections between a wagon for transporting molten material and a stationary station, and more generally to connections of electrical and fluidic circuits in hazardous or inaccessible environments.
