Description

La présente invention concerne une pièce d'association mécanique d'un contacteur avec un disjoncteur, cette pièce assurant en même temps l'interconnexion électrique des deux appareils.The present invention relates to a part for mechanical association of a contactor with a circuit breaker, this part ensuring at the same time the electrical interconnection of the two devices.

Pour réaliser un ensemble de commande protégée pour moteur électrique ou autre charge électrique en basse tension, dit ensemble de "départ moteur", il est usuel de monter un disjoncteur et un contacteur sur une platine commune, puis de les interconnecter par câblage. La platine est une pièce de forme générale plate qui se fixe elle-même verticalement sur un support et qui comprend des éléments de profilés normalisés respectifs pour permettre d'accrocher le disjoncteur et le contacteur.To make a protected control assembly for an electric motor or other low-voltage electric load, known as a "motor start" assembly, it is customary to mount a circuit breaker and a contactor on a common circuit board, then interconnect them by wiring. The plate is a generally flat piece which itself fixes vertically on a support and which includes respective standardized profile elements to allow the circuit breaker and the contactor to be hung.

Dans certains cas, il est souhaitable de réaliser plus simplement l'ensemble de commande protégée.In some cases, it is desirable to make the protected control assembly more simple.

L'invention a notamment pour but d'assurer, dans un tel ensemble de commande protégée pour charge électrique, la fixation du contacteur au disjoncteur au moyen d'une pièce intermédiaire qui, bien que simple et peu encombrante, permet à l'ensemble de résister convenablement aux efforts mécaniques.The object of the invention is in particular to ensure, in such a protected control assembly for electrical load, the fixing of the contactor to the circuit breaker by means of an intermediate piece which, although simple and compact, allows the assembly to withstand mechanical stress adequately.

Selon l'invention, la pièce d'association mécanique est constituée d'une semelle intermédiaire en matière isolante comprenant

  • des conducteurs d'interconnexion entre pôles homologues du contacteur et du disjoncteur, ces conducteurs comportant des premières broches et secondes broches de connexion électrique directe avec des bornes respectives du disjoncteur et du contacteur, les broches étant respectivement en saillie sur deux faces opposées de la pièce, les parties intermédiaires des conducteurs étant logées dans la pièce,
  • des premiers et seconds éléments de positionnement et/ou d'accrochage sur les boîtiers respectifs du disjoncteur et du contacteur, ces éléments étant conçus pour résister tant aux efforts horizontaux qu'aux efforts verticaux.
According to the invention, the mechanical association part consists of an intermediate sole made of insulating material comprising
  • interconnection conductors between homologous poles of the contactor and the circuit breaker, these conductors comprising first pins and second pins for direct electrical connection with respective terminals of the circuit breaker and of the contactor, the pins protruding respectively on two opposite faces of the part , the intermediate parts of the conductors being housed in the room,
  • first and second positioning and / or hooking elements on the respective boxes of the circuit breaker and of the contactor, these elements being designed to withstand both horizontal forces and vertical forces.

De préférence plate et insérée sous le boîtier du disjoncteur, la pièce d'association assure la fixation mécanique recherchée du contacteur au disjoncteur, en même temps qu'une interconnexion simple entre les deux appareils.Preferably flat and inserted under the circuit breaker housing, the association piece provides the desired mechanical fixing of the contactor to the circuit breaker, at the same time as a simple interconnection between the two devices.

Les avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention seront mieux compris à l'aide de la description faite ci-après en regard des figures annexées. En particulier:

  • la figure 1 représente en élévation de face un disjoncteur et un contacteur couplés par une pièce conforme à l'invention.
  • la figure 2 est une vue de droite de l'ensemble de la figure 1.
  • la figure 3 en montre une coupe selon le plan III-III.
  • la figure 4 montre en perspective, vue de dessous, la pièce d'association.
The advantages and characteristics of the invention will be better understood with the aid of the description given below with reference to the appended figures. In particular:
  • Figure 1 shows in front elevation a circuit breaker and a contactor coupled by a part according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a right view of the assembly of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 shows a section along the plane III-III.

L'ensemble de commande protégée pour charge électrique qui est représenté comprend un disjoncteur 10, un contacteur 20 et une pièce intermédiaire d'association 30.The protected control assembly for electrical load which is represented comprises a circuit breaker 10, a contactor 20 and an intermediate association part 30.

Le disjoncteur 10 comprend un boîtier 11 muni vers l'avant d'éléments 12 de manoeuvre et éventuellement de visualisation, ainsi que de bornes 13, et vers l'arrière de conformations 14 de fixation à un support 15 tel qu'une platine perforée ou un profilé normalisé lui-même fixé à un support vertical 16. Les bornes 13 comportent des vis 13a accessibles vers l'avant par des ouvertures 13b séparées les unes des autres par des cloisons 13c les bornes 13 comportent aussi des ouvertures 13d qui débouchent sur des faces horizontales 17 du boîtier.The circuit breaker 10 comprises a housing 11 provided towards the front with elements 12 for maneuvering and possibly with display, as well as terminals 13, and towards the rear with conformations 14 for attachment to a support 15 such as a perforated plate or a standardized profile itself fixed to a vertical support 16. The terminals 13 comprise screws 13a accessible towards the front by openings 13b separated from each other by partitions 13c the terminals 13 also include openings 13d which lead to horizontal faces 17 of the housing.

Le contacteur 20 présente un boîtier 21 muni vers l'avant de bornes principales 22 et de bornes auxiliaires ou de bobine 27 de plus, le boîtier est muni vers l'arrière, dans une partie de socle 23, des conformations 24 de fixation à un support tel qu'un rail profilé ainsi que des orifices 25 de passage pour des vis de fixation à un support vertical, lorsque le contacteur est monté indépendamment du disjoncteur. Les bornes 22 comprennent des vis 22a accessibles vers l'avant par des ouvertures 22b séparées entre elles par des cloisons 22c ; elles comprennent aussi des ouvertures 22d qui débouchent sur des faces horizontales 26 du boîtier du contacteur.The contactor 20 has a housing 21 provided with main terminals 22 and auxiliary or coil terminals 27 in addition, the housing is provided rearward, in a base part 23, with conformations 24 for attachment to a support such as a profiled rail as well as orifices 25 for passage of screws for fixing to a vertical support, when the contactor is mounted independently of the circuit breaker. The terminals 22 include screws 22a accessible towards the front by openings 22b separated from each other by partitions 22c; they also include openings 22d which open onto horizontal faces 26 of the contactor housing.

La pièce intermédiaire d'association 30 est une pièce moulée analogue à une semelle de forme générale plate, avec une face supérieure 31 et une face inférieure 32. Elle comprend des conducteurs 33 d'interconnexion entre des pôles correspondants, dans cet exemple au nombre de trois, du disjoncteur et du contacteur. Chaque conducteur 33 présente une partie intermédiaire noyée au moulage dans la pièce 30 et, perpendiculairement à cette partie, deux broches verticales 34,35 prévues pour pénétrer et être serrées dans les ouvertures respectives 13d,22d des bornes du disjoncteur et des bornes principales du contacteur. Les broches serrées dans les bornes participent à la fixation mécanique des deux appareils.The intermediate association part 30 is a molded part similar to a generally flat sole, with an upper face 31 and a lower face 32. It comprises conductors 33 for interconnection between corresponding poles, in this example the number of three, the circuit breaker and the contactor. Each conductor 33 has an intermediate part embedded in the molding in the part 30 and, perpendicular to this part, two vertical pins 34, 35 intended to penetrate and be clamped in the respective openings 13d, 22d of the terminals of the circuit breaker and of the main terminals of the contactor. . The pins tightened in the terminals participate in the mechanical fixing of the two devices.

La pièce 30 comprend des tenons 36 de positionnement ou éventuellement d'accrochage dans des ouvertures 37 de la face inférieure horizontale 17 du disjoncteur. Ces tenons assurent une résistance à l'arrachement dans le sens horizontal, perpendiculairement au plan vertical du support 16, et aussi dans le sens vertical ; de tels efforts se produisent par exemple lors du câblage externe du contacteur. Les ouvertures 37 peuvent être constituées par une partie des ouvertures 13b des bornes 13 du disjoncteur.The part 30 comprises pins 36 for positioning or possibly hooking in openings 37 of the horizontal underside 17 of the circuit breaker. These tenons provide resistance to tearing in the horizontal direction, perpendicular to the vertical plane of the support 16, and also in the vertical direction; such efforts occur, for example, during external wiring of the contactor. The openings 37 may be formed by a part of the openings 13b of the terminals 13 of the circuit breaker.

La face supérieure 31 de la semelle intermédiaire comprend des zones d'appui, voire d'emboîtement ou d'encliquetage, sur des zones de la partie inférieure du boîtier du disjoncteur.The upper face 31 of the midsole comprises areas of support, or even interlocking or latching, on areas of the lower part of the circuit breaker housing.

De plus, la face inférieure 32 de la pièce intermédiaire 30 comprend des zones d'appui, voire d'emboîtement ou d'encliquetage, sur une face supérieure 28 du boîtier du contacteur, en particulier des pattes 38 qui s'emboîtent dans les ouvertures 22d entre les cloisons 22c, des surfaces d'appui simple 39, des épaulements 40, ainsi que deux talons 41 qui s'appliquent par l'arrière contre le socle du contacteur, notamment en pénétrant dans les orifices préexistants 25 du socle.In addition, the lower face 32 of the intermediate piece 30 includes bearing, or even interlocking or latching, areas on an upper face 28 of the contactor housing, in particular of the tabs 38 which fit into the openings. 22d between the partitions 22c, simple bearing surfaces 39, shoulders 40, as well as two heels 41 which are applied from the rear against the base of the contactor, in particular by penetrating into the pre-existing orifices 25 of the base.

Les broches 34,35 sont décalées pour tenir compte des différences de pas et de cote en profondeur pour les bornes du contacteur et celles du disjoncteur. Toutefois, on notera que les conducteurs 33 des divers pôles sont identiques, ce qui simplifie la fabrication de la pièce d'association. Les conducteurs sont isolés en étant convenablement noyés dans la matière isolante de la pièce 30. Les éléments de positionnement et d'accrochage décrits sont situés de manière à déterminer une avancée de la face arrière 29 du boîtier 21 du contacteur par rapport à la face arrière du boîtier 11 du disjoncteur; on laisse ainsi subsister un espace 42 pour le passage éventuel d'un profilé déjà fixé au support 16.Pins 34.35 are offset to account for pitch and depth differences for the terminals of the contactor and those of the circuit breaker. However, it will be noted that the conductors 33 of the various poles are identical, which simplifies the manufacture of the association part. The conductors are insulated by being suitably embedded in the insulating material of the part 30. The positioning and hooking elements described are located so as to determine an advance of the rear face 29 of the housing 21 of the contactor relative to the rear face of the case 11 of the circuit breaker; a space 42 is thus left to remain for the possible passage of a profile already fixed to the support 16.

Les efforts subis par le disjoncteur lors de son câblage ou de sa manoeuvre sont transmis directement au profilé 15. Les efforts subis par le contacteur notamment lors de son câblage sont transmis au profilé 15 via la pièce intermédiaire 30 et le boîtier de disjoncteur 11, au moyen des éléments d'emboîtement ou d'accrochage décrits.The forces undergone by the circuit breaker during its wiring or its operation are transmitted directly to the profile 15. The forces undergone by the contactor in particular during its wiring are transmitted to the profile 15 via the intermediate piece 30 and the circuit breaker housing 11, at by means of the fitting or hooking elements described.
