Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un parafoudre.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a lightning arrester.
Un parafoudre est un dispositif qui est placé entre la phase et la masse d'une ligne haute-tension et qui permet de limiter l'amplitude et la durée des surtensions atmosphériques (choc dû à la foudre et phénomènes d'induction dans les conducteurs), ou des surtensions électriques temporaires du réseau (choc de manoeuvre).A surge arrester is a device which is placed between the phase and the ground of a high-voltage line and which makes it possible to limit the amplitude and the duration of atmospheric overvoltages (shock due to lightning and induction phenomena in conductors) , or temporary electrical overvoltages in the network (operating shock).
Les fonctions d'un parafoudre sont donc d'une part de supporter en permanence la tension nominale de service, et d'autre part d'écouler le fort courant de décharge apparaissant lors d'une surtension temporaire, de façon à protéger les appareillages de la ligne (transformateurs...).The functions of a surge arrester are therefore on the one hand to permanently support the nominal operating voltage, and on the other hand to drain the strong discharge current appearing during a temporary overvoltage, so as to protect the equipment from the line (transformers ...).
Ces fonctions sont généralement assurées par une âme en un matériau du type varistance à base par exemple d'oxyde de zinc ZnO, dont la résistivité électrique est fortement non linéaire en fonction de la tension appliquée.These functions are generally provided by a core made of a varistor type material based for example on zinc oxide ZnO, the electrical resistivity of which is highly non-linear as a function of the applied voltage.
Cette caractéristique de non linéarité permet à un tel parafoudre de laisser passer :
- Un courant faible (par exemple de l'ordre de 0.5 mA/cm²) lorsque la tension de service est appliquée de façon permanente au parafoudre qui présente alors une résistance très grande. Ce courant est essentiellement d'origine capacitive puisque la permittivité relative de telles varistances est très élevée.
- Un courant fort, pouvant atteindre plusieurs dizaines de kiloampères, lorsque la tension appliquée atteint un seuil d'amorçage à partir duquel la résistance des varistances devient très faible.
- A low current (for example of the order of 0.5 mA / cm²) when the operating voltage is permanently applied to the surge arrester which then has very high resistance. This current is essentially of capacitive origin since the relative permittivity of such varistors is very high.
- A strong current, which can reach several tens of kiloamperes, when the applied voltage reaches a starting threshold from which the resistance of the varistors becomes very low.
On connaît par la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0196 370 une structure de parafoudre comportant une âme centrale en matériau de type varistance, deux ferrures extrêmes filetées et collées sur les extrémités de la paroi latérale de ladite âme, avec deux lames ressorts intermédiaires entre les bases de cette âme et la ferrure ; un revêtement isolant à ailettes est prévu autour de la paroi latérale de l'ensemble. Une telle structure présente des inconvénients car elle implique d'une part un usinage des extrémités de l'âme, usinage qui risque de l'endommager, en créant des fissures ou des fractures, et d'autre part un collage des ferrures qui peut perturber leur contact électrique avec les extrémités de l'âme.European patent application EP-A-0196 370 discloses a lightning arrester structure comprising a central core of varistor type material, two end fittings threaded and glued to the ends of the side wall of said core, with two intermediate spring blades between the bases of this core and the fitting; an insulating coating with fins is provided around the side wall of the assembly. Such a structure has drawbacks because it involves on the one hand a machining of the ends of the core, machining which risks damaging it, by creating cracks or fractures, and on the other hand a bonding of the fittings which can disturb their contact electric with the ends of the core.
On connaît également par la demande de brevet britannique GB-A-2 073 965 un parafoudre dont l'âme centrale comprend plusieurs pastilles cylindriques empilées en matériau de type varistance, deux ferrures extrêmes étant en contact avec les pastilles par l'intermédiaire de lames de ressorts ; cet ensemble est lié mécaniquement par une gaine unitaire en un matériau thermorétractable. Un tel procédé est difficile à mettre en oeuvre et par conséquent coûteux.Also known from British patent application GB-A-2,073,965 is a lightning arrester, the central core of which comprises several cylindrical pellets stacked in varistor-type material, two extreme fittings being in contact with the pellets by means of blades. springs; this assembly is mechanically linked by a unitary sheath made of a heat-shrinkable material. Such a method is difficult to implement and therefore expensive.
La présente invention a pour but de simplifier la fabrication des parafoudres et d'en réduire le coût.The object of the present invention is to simplify the manufacture of lightning arresters and to reduce their cost.
La présente invention a pour objet un procédé de fabrication d'un parafoudre comprenant une âme centrale de forme sensiblement de révolution comportant au moins une varistance, deux ferrures métalliques extrêmes et une enveloppe latérale en matériau électriquement isolant, caractérisé par le fait que lesdites ferrures métalliques sont surmoulées sur les extrémités métallisées de ladite âme centrale et que l'on surmoule ensuite ladite enveloppe latérale, choisie en matériau composite, sur ladite âme et au moins une portion desdites ferrures.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a lightning arrester comprising a central core of substantially revolution shape comprising at least one varistor, two extreme metal fittings and a side casing of electrically insulating material, characterized in that said metal fittings are overmolded on the metallized ends of said central core and then said lateral envelope, selected from composite material, is overmolded on said core and at least a portion of said fittings.
On entend par matériaux composites, les élastomères, l'EPDM, les silicones,...et les résines chargées ou non (résine époxy...).The term “composite materials” means elastomers, EPDM, silicones, etc. and resins, loaded or not (epoxy resin, etc.).
Le métal desdites ferrures est tel que sa température de fusion soit de l'ordre de 400°C ; il s'agit par exemple du zinc, du plomb, de l'étain, l'aluminium et de leurs alliages, tel que le Zamak (R).The metal of said fittings is such that its melting temperature is of the order of 400 ° C; these are for example zinc, lead, tin, aluminum and their alloys, such as Zamak (R).
Si l'âme centrale est unitaire, on réalise directement le surmoulage des ferrures sur ses extrémités.If the central core is unitary, the fittings are directly overmolded on its ends.
Si elle est composée de plusieurs barreaux sensiblement de révolution et de même longueur, montés en parallèle, le surmoulage des ferrures permet la réalisation d'un ensemble unitaire, et le revêtement surmoulé comble les vides entre ces barreaux.If it is composed of several bars substantially of revolution and of the same length, mounted in parallel, the overmolding of the fittings allows the production of a unitary assembly, and the overmolded coating fills the gaps between these bars.
Si elle est composée de plusieurs pastilles superposées, il convient de la rigidifier préalablement, indépendamment des ferrures extrêmes, ce qui constitue une simplification considérable des procédés antérieurs.
Cette solidarisation de l'empilement peut être réalisée par exemple par thermocompression en insérant une épaisseur de métal entre deux faces en contact et en appliquant une forte pression à température élevée. Elle peut être également effectuée de manière simple par coulée ou injection de métal entre les faces en regard des pastilles disposées dans un moule.If it is made up of several superimposed pads, it should be stiffened beforehand, independently of the end fittings, which constitutes a considerable simplification of the prior methods.
This joining of the stack can be carried out for example by thermocompression by inserting a thickness of metal between two faces in contact and by applying high pressure at high temperature. It can also be carried out in a simple manner by casting or injection of metal between the facing faces of the pellets placed in a mold.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description suivante de modes de réalisation donnés à titre illustratif, mais nullement limitatif.Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear during the following description of embodiments given by way of illustration, but in no way limiting.
Dans le dessin annexé :
- La figure 1 montre schématiquement en coupe longitudinale un parafoudre selon l'invention à varistance unique.
- La figure 2A montre schématiquement en coupe longitudinale un parafoudre selon l'invention à plusieurs varistances juxtaposées.
- La figure 2B est une coupe transversale selon la ligne II-II de la figure 2A.
- Les figures 3 et 4 montrent schématiquement en coupe longitudinale deux variantes de parafoudre selon l'invention à plusieurs varistances superposées.
- Figure 1 shows schematically in longitudinal section a surge arrester according to the invention with a single varistor.
- FIG. 2A schematically shows in longitudinal section a surge arrester according to the invention with several juxtaposed varistors.
- Figure 2B is a cross section along line II-II of Figure 2A.
- Figures 3 and 4 schematically show in longitudinal section two variants of surge arrester according to the invention with several superimposed varistors.
On voit dans la figure 1, une âme 1 en un matériau de type varistance, par exemple à base d'oxyde de zinc. Cette âme présente une forme générale cylindrique d'axe 4 avec deux faces extrêmes 2 et 3 munies d'une couche de métallisation ; il n'est pas nécessaire que cette forme soit régulière, ni que les faces 2 et 3 soient parfaitement planes et orthogonales à l'axe 4. On réalise en effet les ferrures métalliques 5 et 6 par surmoulage sur les extrémités de l'âme 1, ce qui permet d'obtenir un bon contact électrique entre les extrémités de l'âme 1 et ces ferrures. On peut utiliser pour ces ferrures un matériau choisi parmi le zinc et ses alliages, l'aluminium et ses alliages etc.We see in Figure 1, a core 1 of a varistor type material, for example based on zinc oxide. This core has a generally cylindrical shape with axis 4 with two
On réalise ensuite par surmoulage un revêtement à ailettes 7, par exemple en élastomère, comme l'EPDM, qui recouvre toute la face latérale de l'âme 1 et une portion latérale de chaque ferrure 5 et 6.A
A titre d'exemple, l'âme d'une hauteur totale d'environ 180 mm, pourrait être compatible avec une tension nominale de service de 20 kvolts, et d'une section transversale de 900 mm² environ, pour permettre l'écoulement d'une onde de courant de plus de 40 KAmpères pendant quatre dizièmes de microseconde.For example, the core with a total height of approximately 180 mm, could be compatible with a nominal operating voltage of 20 kvolts, and with a cross section of approximately 900 mm², to allow the flow of '' a current wave of more than 40 KAmps for four tenths of a microsecond.
L'âme 1 de la figure 1 peut être formée de plusieurs barreaux de section plus faible, comme cela apparaît dans les figures 2a et 2b où l'on a illustré sept barreaux 10 à base d'oxyde de zinc régulièrement disposés autour d'un axe 14. La section transversale de la totalité de ces barreaux est équivalente à la section prévue ci-dessus pour une âme unitaire ; les longueurs peuvent être sensiblement les mêmes pour les réalisations des figures 1 et 2a.
On surmoule des ferrures 15 et 16 sur les extrémités au moins partiellement métallisées des barreaux 10, et on réalise ensuite, également par surmoulage, le revêtement en élastomère 17, ce matériau comblant les intervalles entres les barreaux 10.The core 1 of FIG. 1 can be formed of several bars of smaller cross section, as appears in FIGS. 2a and 2b where seven bars 10 based on zinc oxide are regularly illustrated around a axis 14. The cross section of the entire these bars is equivalent to the section provided above for a unitary core; the lengths can be substantially the same for the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2a.
The
Dans la figure 3, on retrouve un parafoudre avec des éléments identiques à ceux de la figure 1, sauf en ce qui concerne l'âme centrale. Elle est formée dans cette variante d'une pluralité de pastilles 21, 22, 23, 24 à base d'oxyde de zinc, par exemple de même section que l'âme 1, et dont l'empilement présente la même longueur que l'âme 1. Cet empilement est rigidifié par une liaison des faces en contact par thermocompression. Pour cela on introduit entre deux pastilles une épaisseur 20 très mince de métal fusible. Une compression mécanique de l'ensemble associée à un traitement thermique permet d'obtenir une très bonne liaison mécanique.In Figure 3, there is a surge arrester with elements identical to those of Figure 1, except for the central core. It is formed in this variant of a plurality of
A titre d'exemple le métal est un matériau à relativement bas point de fusion comme le zinc ; la pression est de l'ordre de 1kg/mm², et la température de l'ordre de 400°C. Lorsque l'âme centrale est réalisée, le procédé de montage se poursuit comme pour l'âme 1 de la figure 1.For example, metal is a material with a relatively low melting point like zinc; the pressure is around 1 kg / mm², and the temperature around 400 ° C. When the central core is produced, the assembly process continues as for core 1 in FIG. 1.
Dans la figure 4, on montre une variante de liaison des pastilles 21, 22, 23, 24 pour réaliser l'âme centrale. On place ces pastilles dans un moule avec un léger espace entre deux faces en regard et on coule (ou on injecte) du métal fondant à basse température, tel que du zinc, du Zamak (R), ou du plomb, de manière à créer des liaisons métalliques 31, 32, 33. Cet enrobage assure à la fois le contact électrique et la solidarisation mécanique entre les pastilles.In FIG. 4, a variant of connection of the
Les variantes précédemment décrites sont de mise en oeuvre aisée. Mais on pourra utiliser d'autres moyens pour rigidifier l'empilement de pastilles de manière à obtenir un élément sur lequel on puisse surmouler des ferrures et un revêtement.The previously described variants are easy to implement. However, other means could be used to stiffen the stack of pellets so as to obtain an element on which fittings and a coating can be molded.
