Description
La présente invention concerne un perfectionnement apporté aux régulateurs de tension ferro-magnétique dans lesquels on utilise les propriétés de la ferro-résonnance pour la saturation des circuits magnétiques et qui sont utilisés notamment dans les onduleurs ainsi que dans les régulateurs stabilisateurs de tension et pour lesquels on utilise les propriétés de ferro-résonnance avec saturation du circuit magnétique dans le processus de régulation de tension.The present invention relates to an improvement made to ferro-magnetic voltage regulators in which the properties of ferro-resonance are used for the saturation of magnetic circuits and which are used in particular in inverters as well as in voltage stabilizing regulators and for which the properties of ferro-resonance with saturation of the magnetic circuit are used in the voltage regulation process.
D'une manière générale, de tels régulateurs sont constitués essentiellement d'un circuit magnétique associé à des bobinages.In general, such regulators consist essentially of a magnetic circuit associated with coils.
Les régulateurs commercialisés à ce jour donnent satisfaction d'un simple point de vue fonctionnel, mais conduisent, pour une puissance et des performances données à des ensembles lourds et volumineux (donc coûteux), compte-tenu que l'évacuation des pertes thermiques dégagées tant par le circuit magnétique que par les différents bobinages qui, à ce jour, est réalisé simplement en contrôlant la température de l'air ambiant environnant le dispositif, l'échange thermique étant réalise par simple conduction et convection naturelles.The regulators marketed to date give satisfaction from a simple functional point of view, but lead, for a given power and performance to heavy and bulky assemblies (therefore expensive), taking into account that the evacuation of the heat losses released both by the magnetic circuit only by the various windings which, to date, is produced simply by controlling the temperature of the ambient air surrounding the device, the heat exchange being carried out by simple natural conduction and convection.
Dans d'autres applications telles que par exemple le domaine des transformateurs, régulateurs de courant, il a été proposé depuis fort longtemps d'y incorporer des systèmes de refroidissement permettant d'évacuer les pertes thermiques. Parmi les solutions proposées, on pourrait citer celles faisant l'objet de la DOS-2 417 175 qui fait appel à une circulation de fluide à l'intérieur d'un régulateur de courant, celles faisant l'ob jet du brevet US 3 819 965 et 4 032 839 concernant des transformateurs et régulateurs de tension et dans lesquels le refroidissement est obtenu au moyen d'une circulation d'un fluide canalisé à l'intérieur de circuits bien définis. Dans toutes ces solutions, les systèmes de refroidissement sont complexes et impliquent une adaptation des constituants des appareils.In other applications such as for example the field of transformers, current regulators, it has been proposed for a long time to incorporate cooling systems therein for evacuating heat losses. Among the proposed solutions, one could cite those subject to DOS-2 417 175 which calls for a circulation of fluid inside a current regulator, those making the ob jet of US Pat. No. 3,819,965 and 4,032,839 relating to voltage transformers and regulators and in which the cooling is obtained by means of a circulation of a fluid channeled inside well defined circuits. In all these solutions, the cooling systems are complex and involve an adaptation of the components of the devices.
Or on a trouvé, et c'est ce qui fait l'objet de la présente invention, qu'il était possible, dans le cas des régulateurs de tension à filtre ferro-résonnant, non seulement d'assurer l'évacuation des pertes thermiques, mais également de réaliser des régulateurs de dimensions notablement réduites par rapport aux régulateurs actuels et ce, pour une puissance et performance sensiblement identiques, en associant au dit régulateur un ensemble permettant une extraction forcée des pertes thermiques dégagées tant par le circuit magnétique que par les différents bobinages, l'extraction étant obtenue en agissant sur le maximum de la surface des différents constituants du régulateur, ces derniers n'étant quant à eux pas modifiés par rapport aux solutions antérieures.Now it has been found, and this is what is the subject of the present invention, that it was possible, in the case of voltage regulators with ferro-resonant filter, not only to ensure the evacuation of heat losses , but also to produce regulators of significantly reduced dimensions compared to current regulators and this, for a substantially identical power and performance, by associating with said regulator an assembly allowing a forced extraction of the heat losses released both by the magnetic circuit and by the different windings, the extraction being obtained by acting on the maximum of the surface of the various constituents of the regulator, the latter not being modified with respect to the previous solutions.
De manière simple, conformément à l'invention, l'ensemble permettant cette extraction des pertes thermiques est constitué par une circulation d'air forcée, dirigée contre l'une des surface du régulateur et s'écoulant le long des autres surfaces.In a simple manner, in accordance with the invention, the assembly allowing this extraction of heat losses is constituted by a forced air circulation, directed against one of the surface of the regulator and flowing along the other surfaces.
La figure unique annexée illustre, schématiquement, et en perspective un exemple de réalisation d'un régulateur conforme à l'invention.The single appended figure illustrates, schematically, and in perspective an embodiment of a regulator according to the invention.
Si l'on se reporte à cette figure, le régulateur proprement dit est constitué, de manière conventionnelle, d'un circuit ferro-magnétique (1) associé à des bobinages (2). Conformément à l'invention, sur l'un des côtés du régulateur, par exemple du côté de la surface portant le bobinage (2), est disposé un ensemble permettant l'extraction des pertes thermiques dégagées tant par le circuit magnétique (1) que par les bobines (2), cet ensemble étant désigné par la référence générale (3) et étant constitué essentiellement d'un ventilateur (4) disposé en regard des bobines (2). Ce ventilateur (4) est monté sur un support (5) et son flux d'air est canalisé, par exemple au moyen d'un boitier (6) qui s'étend depuis le support (5) jusqu'à proximité des bobines et ce, de telle sorte que le flux d'air agisse sur toute la surface du régulateur. Le flux d'air s'échappe d'une part au travers des bobinages, et d'autre part et surtout, latéralement le long des parois du régulateur. Bien entendu, le débit d'air sera fonction de la puissance du régulateur, donc des pertes calorifiques qui se produisent, et sera réglé pour extraire pratiquement la plus grande partie de ces pertes malgré un échauffement très limité du système tant sur la surface périphérique qu'à l'intérieur bobinage et noyau magnétique.If we refer to this figure, the regulator itself consists, conventionally, of a ferromagnetic circuit (1) associated with coils (2). According to the invention, on one side of the regulator, for example on the side of the surface carrying the winding (2), is arranged an assembly allowing the extraction of the thermal losses released both by the magnetic circuit (1) and by the coils (2), this assembly being designated by the general reference (3) and consisting essentially of a fan (4) disposed opposite the coils (2). This fan (4) is mounted on a support (5) and its air flow is channeled, for example by means of a box (6) which extends from the support (5) to near the coils and this, so that the air flow acts on the entire surface of the regulator. The air flow escapes on the one hand through the windings, and on the other hand and above all, laterally along the walls of the regulator. Of course, the air flow will be a function of the power of the regulator, therefore of the calorific losses which occur, and will be adjusted to extract practically most of these losses in spite of a very limited heating of the system both on the peripheral surface and '' inside coil and magnetic core.
On a constaté, qu'en procédant de cette manière, on obtenait non seulement un refroidissement de l'ensemble, mais que, par ailleurs, il était possible d'obtenir un dimensionnement réduit du régulateur et ce, pour une puissance et des pertes sensiblement identiques. A titre illustratif, il a été possible de réaliser un régulateur de 5KVA pesant environ soixante kilos et ayant un encombrement de 25 dm³ alors, qu'à ce jour, un régulateur équivalent ayant une puissance de 5KVA et dont l'évacua tion des pertes thermiques est réalisée uniquement par contrôle de la température de l'air ambiant environnant, par simple conduction et convection naturelles, pesait quant à lui environ cent cinquante kilos pour un encombrement de 70 dm³ Une telle réduction du dimensionnement des constituants du régulateur peut s'expliquer par le fait que l'adjonction de l'ensemble d'extraction des pertes thermiques dégagées, permet d'augmenter considérablement le rapport pertes joules sur pertes fer et ce, sans altération sensible des pertes totales et autres performances du régulateur.It was found that, by proceeding in this way, not only did the assembly cool down, but also, it was possible to obtain a reduced dimensioning of the regulator, and this, for a power and losses substantially identical. By way of illustration, it was possible to make a 5KVA regulator weighing approximately sixty kilos and having a footprint of 25 dm³ whereas, to date, an equivalent regulator having a power of 5KVA and whose discharge tion of the heat losses is carried out only by controlling the temperature of the surrounding ambient air, by simple natural conduction and convection, for its part weighed approximately one hundred and fifty kilos for a space requirement of 70 dm³. Such a reduction in the dimensioning of the components of the regulator can this can be explained by the fact that the addition of the assembly for extracting the heat losses released, makes it possible to considerably increase the ratio of joule losses to iron losses, without any significant deterioration of the total losses and other performances of the regulator.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation décrit précédemment mais elle en couvre toutes les variantes réalisées dans le même esprit.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but it covers all the variants produced in the same spirit.
Ainsi, pour des régulateurs de très grande puissance, il pourrait être envisagé d'utiliser d'autres systèmes d'extraction des pertes joules que la simple circulation d'air forcée, par exemple d'utiliser un système de fluide de refroidissement ou toute autre combinaison de système (circulation d'eau, ailettes ou dissipateurs couplés au niveau du circuit magnétiques..).Thus, for very high power regulators, it could be envisaged to use other systems for extracting joule losses than the simple forced air circulation, for example using a coolant system or any other system combination (water circulation, fins or dissipators coupled to the magnetic circuit, etc.).
