This absence of abutment keeps intact the contact force generated by the electrodynamic forces of attraction between the blades 25,26. These electrodynamic forces of attraction are slightly weaker than in the absence of a notch, but this reduction is acceptable.

Description
L'invention est relative à un interrupteur rotatif multipolaire moyenne tension à enveloppe de révolution étanche, remplie d'un gaz à rigidité diélectrique élevée, dont le pourtour interne porte par pôle un contact fixe d'entrée, un contact fixe de sortie et un contact fixe de mise à la terre, qui sont espacés angulairement et, qui coopèrent avec un pont de contacts en forme de couteau pivotant, porté par un arbre rotatif de commande qui s'étend dans l'axe de l'enveloppe, les différents pôles étant échelonnés le long dudit arbre à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe, et séparés par des parois transversales de subdivision longitudinale de l'enveloppe, ledit arbre pouvant occuper sélectivement trois positions; une position d'ouverture, une position de fermeture dans laquelle le pont de contacts relie lesdits contacts d'entrée et de sortie, et une position de mise à la terre, dans laquelle ledit pont de contacts relie lesdits contacts de sortie et de mise à la terre, ledit couteau de chaque pont de contact étant constitué de deux lames de couteau.The invention relates to a medium-voltage multipolar rotary switch with a sealed envelope of revolution, filled with a gas with high dielectric strength, the internal periphery of which carries by pole a fixed input contact, a fixed output contact and a contact fixed earthing, which are angularly spaced and which cooperate with a contact bridge in the form of a pivoting knife, carried by a rotary control shaft which extends in the axis of the envelope, the different poles being staggered along said tree inside the envelope, and separated by transverse walls of longitudinal subdivision of the envelope, said tree being able to occupy selectively three positions; an open position, a closed position in which the contact bridge connects said input and output contacts, and a grounding position, in which said contact bridge connects said output and connection contacts the earth, said knife of each contact bridge consisting of two knife blades.
Un tel interrupteur est décrit dans le document EP-A-199.044. Sous l'effet des forces électrodynamiques d'attraction extrêmement importantes dues au passage du courant dans le double couteau du pont de contact, les deux lames de contact risquent de se déformer, en diminuant la force de serrage transmise aux pinces.Such a switch is described in document EP-A-199,044. Under the effect of the extremely strong electrodynamic forces of attraction due to the passage of current in the double knife of the contact bridge, the two contact blades risk deforming, reducing the clamping force transmitted to the clamps.
L'objet de l'invention consiste à accroître la force de contact en position de fermeture, et à éviter toute répulsion au niveau des pinces.The object of the invention is to increase the contact force in the closed position, and to avoid repulsion at the clamps.
L'interrupteur selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que les deux lames de contacts dudit couteau sont disposées parallèlement et sont équipées d'extrémités divergentes pour former à chaque extrémité une pince de contact mobile venant en position de fermeture enserrer le contact fixe associé qui est agencé en plage de contact, que les deux lames sont sollicitées élastiquement l'une contre l'autre, le rapprochement étant limité, lorsque les pinces sont dégagées des contacts fixes par des butées encadrant la partie centrale de chaque lame, et que lesdites parties centrales sont en position engagée des pinces, à faible écartement pour être le siège de forces électrodynamiques d'attraction importante lorsqu'elles sont parcourues par le courant, cet écartement étant supérieur au fléchissement engendré par lesdites forces pour éviter une venue en contact des parties centrales des deux lames, lesdites parties centrales étant constituées par une échancrure ménagée dans les lames.The switch according to the invention is characterized in that the two contact blades of said knife are arranged in parallel and are equipped with divergent ends to form at each end a movable contact clamp coming in the closed position enclosing the associated fixed contact which is arranged in contact area, that the two blades are elastically biased against each other, the approximation being limited, when the clamps are released from the fixed contacts by stops framing the central part of each blade, and when said central parts are in the engaged position of the clamps, with a small spacing to be the seat of electrodynamic forces of significant attraction when they are traversed by the current, this spacing being greater than the deflection generated by said forces to avoid coming into contact with the central parts of the two blades, said central parts being constituted by a notch formed in the blades.
Les forces électrodynamiques de rapprochement sont ainsi mises à contribution pour renforcer la pression de contact.The bringing together electrodynamic forces are thus used to reinforce the contact pressure.
La profondeur de l'échancrure est suffisante pour éviter toute venue en contact lors d'un fléchissement des lames. Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, la profondeur de cette échancrure est de quelques dizièmes de millimètre, ce qui permet de conserver des forces électrodynamiques importantes dues au faible écartement des parties centrales des lames.The depth of the notch is sufficient to avoid any coming into contact during a deflection of the blades. According to a preferred embodiment, the depth of this notch is a few tenths of a millimeter, which makes it possible to conserve significant electrodynamic forces due to the small spacing of the central parts of the blades.
L'enveloppe comporte avantageusement une zone fragilisée, qui constitue une zone préférentielle d'éclatement en cas de surpression accidentelle à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe. Cette zone fragilisée est obtenue par une réduction de l'épaisseur de l'enveloppe, en l'occurrence dans la zone de jonction de l'un des fonds à la paroi de révolution.The envelope advantageously includes a weakened zone, which constitutes a preferential burst zone in the event of accidental overpressure inside the envelope. This weakened zone is obtained by a reduction in the thickness of the envelope, in this case in the zone of junction of one of the bottoms with the wall of revolution.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui va suivre, d'un mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, donné à titre d'exemple et représenté aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:Other advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly from the description which follows, of an embodiment of the invention, given by way of example and shown in the appended drawings in which:
La figure 1 est une vue schématique en élévation et partiellement en coupe axiale d'un interrupteur selon l'invention, représenté en position fermé.Figure 1 is a schematic view in elevation and partially in axial section of a switch according to the invention, shown in the closed position.
Les figures 2,3 et 4 sont des coupes suivant la ligne 2-2 de la figure 1 représentant l'interrupteur respectivement en position fermé, ouvert et de mise à la terre.Figures 2,3 and 4 are sections along line 2-2 of Figure 1 showing the switch respectively in position closed, open and grounded.
La figure 5 est une vue partielle à échelle agrandie du couteau selon la figure 1, représenté en position ouvert.Figure 5 is a partial view on an enlarged scale of the knife according to Figure 1, shown in the open position.
La figure 6 est une vue analogue à celle de la figure 5 montrant le couteau en position fermé.Figure 6 is a view similar to that of Figure 5 showing the knife in the closed position.
Sur les figures, l'interrupteur rotatif tripolaire moyenne tension comporte une enveloppe étanche 10, constituée d'une cuve 11 et d'un couvercle 12 en matière plastique moulée, assemblée suivant un plan de joint 13. L'enveloppe étanche 10 de forme générale cylindrique est subdivisée en trois compartiments, par deux parois transversales 14, et l'ensemble est rempli d'un gaz à rigidité diélectrique élevée tel que l'hexafluorure de soufre, sous pression atmosphérique ou en surpression. Les trois pôles R,S,T de l'interrupteur logé chacun dans l'un des compartiments de l'interrupteur, sont identiques, et seul l'un d'entre eux est décrit en détail par la suite. Chaque pôle comporte un contact fixe d'entrée 15, un contact fixe de sortie 16 et un contact fixe de mise à la terre 17. Ces contacts fixes 15,16,17 sont disposés sur la face interne de l'enveloppe 10 et constituent des traversées étanches de l'enveloppe 10. Le contact fixe de sortie 16 comporte un plot de contact 18 diamétralement opposé au plot de contact 19 du contact fixe d'entrée 15, et un plot de contact fixe 20 diamétralement opposé au plot de contact fixe 21 du contact de mise à la terre 17. Un pont de contacts mobile en forme de couteau rotatif 22 est porté par un arbre de commande 23, s'étendant dans l'axe de l'enveloppe 10 et dont l'une des extrémités 24 traverse, d'une manière étanche l'enveloppe 10, pour coopérer avec un mécanisme de commande extérieur (non représenté).Chaque couteau 22 est constitué de deux lames 25,26 disposées parallèlement, et ayant des extrémités divergentes pour former des pinces de contact mobile 27,28 coopérant chacune avec l'un des contacts fixes 15,16,17.In the figures, the medium-voltage three-pole rotary switch comprises a sealed
Dans la position fermée de l'interrupteur représentée aux figures 1 et 2, le couteau 22 relie électriquement les contacts fixes d'entrée 15 et de sortie 16, et l'ouverture de l'interrupteur est commandée par une rotation d'environ 60° dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, sur la figure 2, de l'arbre de commande 23. Cette rotation amène les couteaux 22 des trois pôles dans la position inclinée, représentée sur la figure 3, qui correspond à la position d'ouverture de l'interrupteur. Une rotation poursuivie de l'arbre de commande 23 amène les couteaux 22 en contact des plots de contacts 20,21 du contact de sortie 16 et du contact de mise à la terre 17, reliant ainsi le contact fixe de sortie 16 au contact de mise à la terre 17. Cette rotation poursuivie est également voisine de 60°. Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures, le contact fixe d'entrée 15 est disposé dans le fond du couvercle 12, et celui-ci porte une cloison isolante 29, venant avantageusement de moulage, et s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement au plan de joint 13, en étant intercalé entre le contact fixe d'entrée 15 et le contact de mise à la terre 17. La cloison isolante 29 est adjacente au contact fixe d'entrée 15 et elle s'étend jusqu'au pourtour de l'arbre de commande 23, de manière à limiter les risques de contournement et d'amorçage sur le plot 21 du contact de mise à la terre 17. La cloison 29 s'étend avantageusement sur toute la longueur du compartiment et sa disposition, à côté du contact fixe d'entrée 15 n'entrave pas la rotation du couteau 22. Dans la zone de jonction de la cloison 29 et des parois transversales 14 du compartiment sont ménagées des ouvertures 36, en forme d'échancrures voisines de l'arbre 23, pour permettre une circulation interne des gaz et donc de régénérer la tenue diélectrique dans la zone du plot de contact de mise à la terre 17.In the closed position of the switch shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the
L'enveloppe 10 comporte avantageusement une zone fragilisée 30 d'éclatement en cas de surpression interne à l'enveloppe 10. Cette zone fragilisée est disposée dans la zone de raccordement de l'enveloppe cylindrique 10, et de l'un des fonds 31, en étant constituée par une simple rainure réduisant l'épaisseur de l'enveloppe. Cette zone fragilisée 30 est de préférence au voisinage du contact fixe de sortie 16, et elle permet un échappement des gaz vers les zones éloignées des autres pôles.The
En se référant plus particulièrement aux figures 1,5 et 6, on voit que les lames de contacts 25,26 sont sollicitées l'une contre l'autre, par des ressorts 32. En position d'ouverture du couteau représenté à la figure 5, le rapprochement des lames 25,26 est limité par des butées 33 qui encadrent la partie centrale 34 des lames 25,26. Les pinces 27,28 restent ainsi suffisamment ouvertes pour engager les plages des contacts fixes lors d'un mouvement de fermeture. Les parties centrales 34 présentent une échancrure qui confinent une fente 35 d'écartement des parties centrales des lames 25,26. La largeur de cette fente 35 est de quelques dizièmes de millimètre et peut atteindre un millimètre. Lorsque le couteau 22 est en position de fermeture représentée sur la figure 6, les pinces 27,28 s'engagent sur les contacts fixes 15,16 qui leur imposent un écartement à l'encontre de la force des ressorts 32. Il est clair que lorsque les lames 25,26 sont parcourues par le courant circulant entre les contacts fixes d'entrée et de sortie 15,16, ces lames 25,26 sont soumises à des forces électrodynamiques de rapprochement qui participent à la pression de contact, et limitent les risques de répulsion de ces contacts. La largeur de la fente 35 est choisie suffisamment importante pour éviter tout contact entre les parties centrales 34 des lames 25,26 fléchies. Cette absence de venue en butée permet de conserver intacte la force de contact engendrée par les forces électrodynamiques d'attraction entre les lames 25,26. Ces forces électrodynamiques d'attraction sont légèrement plus faibles que lors d'une absence d'une échancrure, mais cette réduction est acceptable.Referring more particularly to FIGS. 1.5 and 6, it can be seen that the
