Definitions

  • the invention relates to a low-voltage circuit breaker with molded housing comprising a rotary contact bridge, a pair of fixed contacts cooperating with said contact bridge, current supply conductors to said fixed contacts arranged to generate electrodynamic repulsion forces.
  • a rotary bar having a transverse orifice for housing with the eu of said contact bridge, which projects from both sides other of the bar, at least one pair of tension springs interposed between the bar and the contact bridge to ensure contact pressure of the contact bridge on the fixed contacts in the closed position of the circuit breaker, while allowing rotation of the bridge contacts under the action of said electrodynamic forces towards the repulsed open position, said springs being arranged symmetrically on either side of the axis of rotation of the contact bridge and each having one end anchored to the contact bridge.
  • the contact bridge opens quickly under the action of electrodynamic repulsion forces during the appearance short-circuit current.
  • the rapid cut-off ensures a limitation of the current and as soon as the current disappears, the contact bridge tends to return to the closed position.
  • the return of the contact bridge to the closed position by the springs acting on this contact bridge is accentuated by the rebound of the contact bridge on the repulsion end-of-travel stop.
  • the present invention aims to allow the realization of a simple braking device and possibly hooking of the movable contact bridge requiring no additional part.
  • the contact bridge At the end of the repulsion stroke, the contact bridge abuts against the anchoring of a spring, which gradually yields while storing energy in the corresponding spring.
  • the contact bridge is thus gradually slowed down and the impact on the limit stop is limited or canceled.
  • the anchorages on the bar are constituted by rods slidably mounted in notches allowing preferably limited movement of the rod in the direction of elongation of the corresponding spring.
  • the same springs therefore ensure the contact pressure and shock absorption of the repulsed contact bridge, and according to a development of the invention, these springs also constitute the floating mounting of the contact bridge in the bar. Part of the energy of the contact bridge is also absorbed by the friction between the cam and the anchor rod.
  • the assembly is arranged so as to reduce the torque exerted by the springs on the contact bridge during the opening stroke of the latter, and in a first embodiment, the movement of the contact bridge is simply braked at the end of the race, and its reclosing is not prevented.
  • the braking intensity is determined by the profile of the cam and in another embodiment, this profile is such that the resistance of the forces acting on the contact bridge in the repelled position locks this contact bridge in the open position. This locking can also result from a real hooking or snap-fastening, the profile of the cam having for example an excavation in which is housed the anchor rod.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of the contacts of a pole of a circuit breaker according to the invention, shown in the closed position.
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to that of Figure 1 showing the contacts being opened.
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to that of Figure 1 showing the contacts in the open position.
  • Figure 4 is a section along the line IV-IV of Figure 1.
  • Figure 5 is a detailed perspective view showing the movable contact bridge and the control rod.
  • a box 10 made of insulating plastic material, contains the cut-off elements of a pole of a limiting circuit breaker with molded housing, in this case, a pair of fixed contacts 11,12 and a movable contact bridge 13 , as well as two interrupting chambers not shown.
  • the box 10 of generally parallelepipedal shape consists of two large lateral faces 14,15, a bottom 16 and an upper face 17, as well as two small end faces 18,19.
  • the mobile contact bridge 13 is carried by a rotary bar section 20, interposed between the two large lateral faces 14,15.
  • the bar section 20 has an orifice 21 which extends along a diameter in a direction parallel to the large lateral faces and the contact bridge 13 crosses this orifice with play, projecting on either side of the bar section 20.
  • the contact bridge 13 is mounted floating on the bar section 20 by two pairs of springs 22, 23, in the manner described in detail below.
  • Two current supply conductors 24.25 pass through the small end faces, respectively 18.19 and extend inside the box 10 by a curved part in the form of a half-loop whose end 26.27 carries the associated fixed contact part 28, 29.
  • the fixed contact part 28 cooperates with the movable contact 31 carried by the contact bridge 13, while the fixed contact part 29 cooperates with the mobile contact 32.
  • the parts of the current supply conductors 24.25, internal to the box 10, are substantially symmetrical and only the arrangement of the supply conductor 25 is described in detail below, that of the supply conductor 24 being identical.
  • the supply conductor 25 attached to the bottom 16 is engaged laterally in the notches 30 formed in the two large lateral faces 14,15.
  • the width of the flat conductor 25 is reduced in the curved zone and at its end 27, leaving a clearance between the conductor and the large lateral faces 14,15.
  • An anvil 33 is interposed between the two branches of the half-loop of the conductor 25, being attached to the face of the end 27 opposite to that carrying the fixed contact 29.
  • the anvil 33 is rigidly secured to the box 10 by its ends 35, engaged in grooves 36 formed in the large lateral faces 14,15.
  • the anvil 33 is separated from the other branch of the conductor 25 by an air gap 34 and the metal block is laminated to limit the eddy currents generated in the block 33. It is understood that when the contact bridge 13 closes, the contact mobile 32 strikes the fixed contact 29 and the shock is transmitted to the anvil 33 which prevents any rebound of the fixed contact 29 and amplifies the blow on the fixed contact 29. This blow causes crushing of the surfaces in contact and a reduction in contact resistance, which has no dispersion.
  • the metal block 33 is made of a ferromagnetic material increasing the magnetic field generated by the passage of current in the supply conductor 25, to blow the arc in the direction of the breaking chamber.
  • the air gap 34 avoids any short-circuiting of the half-loop but it is clear that additional insulation can be planned.
  • the springs of the pairs of springs 22, 23 are arranged symmetrically on either side of the contact bridge 13, surrounding the latter.
  • the two pairs of springs 22, 23 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the imaginary axis 37 of rotation of the contact bridge 13.
  • One 38 of the ends of the springs 22 is anchored to an axis 39 extending parallel to the imaginary axis 37 and bearing in a notch 40 formed on the face of the contact bridge 13, opposite to that carrying the movable contact 32.
  • the other end 41 of the tension springs 22 is anchored to a rod 42 mounted sliding in a notch 43 formed in the bar 20.
  • the tension springs 22 urge the rod 42 towards the bottom of the notches 43 and exert by the axis 39 a torque on the contact bridge 13 tending to pivot the latter in the direction closing.
  • the springs 23 are arranged in the same way, and the same reference numbers assigned an index are used to designate the corresponding parts.
  • the two pairs of springs 22, 23 ensure a floating mounting of the contact bridge 13 in the orifice 21 by allowing rotation of the contact bridge 13 around the imaginary axis 37. Such a floating mounting is described in French patent n ° 2.622.347.
  • the pairs of springs 22, 23 also provide the contact pressure in the closed position of the pole.
  • the pairs of springs 22, 23 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the imaginary axis of rotation 37, so as to exert in any position of the contact bridge 13, a return torque of the contact bridge 13 in the closed position.
  • This torque decreases as the contact bridge 13 moves towards the open position, and the anchor rods 42, 42 ′ are arranged so as to interfere with the pivoting path of the contact bridge 13, in end of opening stroke by repulsion of the contact bridge 13.
  • the edges of the contact bridge 13 carry or are shaped on the cam surface 44, 44 ′ engaging the rods 42, respectively, at the end of the repulsion travel, 42 ', by sliding them in their notch 43, towards elongation of the springs 22,23.
  • This engagement brakes the movement of the contact bridge 13, and reduces or cancels the impact on the opening end-of-travel stop, for example formed or arranged on the housing 10.
  • the profile of the cams 44, 44 ′ is of course determined. to obtain a progressive deceleration of the contact bridge 13 and it can be arranged to keep in any position a restoring torque of the contact bridge towards the closed position, or conversely present a retaining snap of the contact bridge 13, in the repelled position opened.
  • the contact bridge 13 closes automatically if the opening of the circuit breaker is not confirmed by the rotation of the bar section 20 controlled by the mechanism, but the return travel of the contact bridge 13 is slowed down. by its braking at the end of the race.
  • This slowing down may be sufficient to ensure trigger selectivities, in this case an opening of a downstream device which eliminates the fault.
  • this snap-fastening is eliminated during the rotation of the bar section 20, actuated by the mechanism, so as to bring the contact bridge 13 back to the initial position relative to to the bar 20. It is easy to see that the braking and / or retaining system of the contact bridge 13, in the repulsion position does not require any additional part, and is particularly simple and effective.
