Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of electrical protection cells, for example for the protection of a medium voltage transformer, comprising a switch or a circuit breaker arranged in series with an earthing switch. It relates to more particularly the disconnector opening and closing mechanism, from maneuvers of the operating member associated with the switch.
- such a mechanism can be a passage mechanism of neutral point capable of being coupled, via a mechanism interlocking, to the operating member of the switch associated in series with the earthing switch, so that the operating member of the switch controls simultaneously opening the switch and closing the earthing switch, respectively closing the switch and opening the earthing switch.
- the earthing switch comprises a fixed contact connected electrically at the switch, and a movable contact carried by a contact-carrying shaft rotating and earthed.
- document US-A-3,735,073 discloses a single switch comprising a double spring mechanism, a first spring to flip the switch of the open position to the closed position, and a second spring to overcome the forces electromagnetic when an electrical fault occurs.
- the invention aims to remedy the drawback mentioned above, by proposing a particularly reliable and safe mechanism with regard to electrical protection provided by the cell.
- the passage from the neutral point of the first mechanism takes place substantially at the end of the stroke of the operating member associated with the switch, and the first angular position corresponds to the position of the contact carrier shaft in stable position disconnector open.
- the operation of the operating member is so-called “independent”, that is to say that the rotary contact shaft does not start actually in motion only when the operating member is almost at the end and therefore the switch is already in the open position.
- the operation of the operating member is said to be “dependent”, that is to say that the setting in motion of the operating member directly results in a movement of the contact carrier shaft.
- the first mechanism is located at one end of the axis of rotation of the contact carrier shaft, while the second mechanism is located at the other end of said axis of rotation.
- the protection cell 1 has an inlet electrical 2 and an electrical outlet 6. Connected in series between inlet 2 and outlet 3, there is for example a switch or a circuit breaker 3 with three positions (closed, open, earthed) with break in SF6 gas, fuse 4 and a disconnector earth 5.
- the disconnector 5 conventionally comprises a fixed contact 8 and a contact rotary mobile 7.
- An interlocking mechanism 11 is provided between the operation 13 of the switch 3 and the opening and closing mechanism of the disconnector 5, so that the drive of the operating member 13 controls simultaneously opening the switch 3 and closing the disconnector 5, respectively the closing of the switch 3 and the opening of the disconnector 5.
- protection cell 1 will have three circuits electrical identical to that of Figure 2, arranged in parallel. Such a cell protection is particularly well suited for the protection of transformers medium voltage.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a three-phase disconnector comprising three fixed contacts 8a, 8b and 8c and three movable contacts 7a, 7b and 7c, the latter being mounted on a carrier shaft contact 9, pivotally mounted about an axis 10.
- the mechanism opening and closing of the disconnector is coupled to the operating member 13 of the switch 3 by means of a locking rod 11 movable in translation along its length.
- One of the ends of the rod 11 carries a connecting rod 12 articulated on the member of rotary operation 13 of switch 3, while the other end carries a guide 11a provided with a rectilinear light 34 arranged parallel to the rod 11 and intended to cooperate with the disconnector mechanism 5.
- the disconnector mechanism comprises a first 30 and a second 20 mechanisms at neutral.
- the passage mechanisms to neutral 20 and 30 are located on either side of the axis 10 of rotation of the carrier shaft contact 9 so as to balance the mobile assembly.
- the first neutral passage mechanism 30 illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6, 8, 9 and 11 is supported by a fixed frame 40a on which the axis 10 of the carrier shaft is mounted contact 9.
- the mechanism 30 comprises a crank 32 rotatably mounted around a axis 33 carried by a fixed frame 40a.
- Crank 32 is equipped with a first roller 35 which cooperates with the rectilinear light 34 of the guide 11a, and of a second roller 36 which cooperates with a light 37 of complex shape, formed in part 9a of the tree contact carrier 9.
- the crank 32 is biased by an anchored tension spring 31, of a on the crank 32 at point 31a, and on the other hand on the fixed frame 40a at point 31b.
- the contact-carrying shaft 9 forms a angle ⁇ with respect to a fixed arbitrary reference, for example the horizontal in the case present.
- the second neutral passage mechanism 20 illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 10 comprises a tension spring 21 anchored, on the one hand at point 21a on a bevel gear 9b integral with the contact-carrying shaft 9, and on the other hand on the fixed frame 40b at point 21b.
- the contact-carrying shaft 9 therefore remains stationary. After a certain idle stroke, the organ maneuver 13 being practically at the end of its travel, the end of the light 34 comes abut on the roller 35 and causes the crank 32 to rotate about the axis 33.
- the spring 31 resistant so far, comes to take its neutral position ( Figure 5, the points 31a, 33 and 31b are aligned), the contact carrier shaft 9 still having not moved due to the free movement of the roller 36 inside the slot 37.
- the spring 31 As soon as the spring 31 has passed its neutral position, it becomes a motor and puts the shaft contact 9 in rotation through the roller 36 and the light 37.
- the maneuver 13 arrived at the end of the race ( Figure 6).
- the closing of the disconnector 5 is said to be independent, the displacement of the shaft carries contact 9 not being directly coupled to the drive of the operating member 13, because it is slightly delayed. It will thus be understood that any foreign body preventing accidentally closing the disconnector 5, cannot in any case prevent the opening of the switch 3.
- the contact carrying shaft 9 can be fitted with a angular position indicator, it will then suffice to check, before any intervention on the installation, that the disconnector 5 is indeed closed.
- the passage of the neutral point of the spring 31 when the disconnector is closed corresponds to the angular position ⁇ of the contact carrier arm in open position; however, those skilled in the art will understand easily that this feature is not imperative.
- the angular position ⁇ of the passage of the neutral point of the spring 21 associated with the mechanism 20 should always be between the angular positions ⁇ and ⁇ of the passages the neutral point of the spring 31 associated with the mechanism 30, respectively at closing and when the disconnector opens.
- the passage from the neutral point of the mechanism 30 precedes the passage of the neutral point of the mechanism 20, whatever the direction of the maneuver of the control member 13; preferably these three angular positions ⁇ and ⁇ and ⁇ are closer to the open position than to the closed position.

Description
L'invention se situe dans le domaine des cellules de protection électrique, par exemple pour la protection d'un transformateur moyenne tension, comprenant un interrupteur ou un disjoncteur disposé en série avec un sectionneur de mise à la terre. Elle concerne plus particulièrement le mécanisme d'ouverture et de fermeture du sectionneur, à partir des manoeuvres de l'organe de manoeuvre associé à l'interrupteur.The invention relates to the field of electrical protection cells, for example for the protection of a medium voltage transformer, comprising a switch or a circuit breaker arranged in series with an earthing switch. It relates to more particularly the disconnector opening and closing mechanism, from maneuvers of the operating member associated with the switch.
D'après le document DE-C-611 677, il est connu de commander, à partir d'un même organe de manoeuvre, un interrupteur et son sectionneur de terre associé.According to document DE-C-611 677, it is known to order, from the same operating device, a switch and its associated earthing switch.
De manière également connue, un tel mécanisme peut être un mécanisme à passage de point mort susceptible d'être couplé, par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme d'interverrouillage, à l'organe de manoeuvre de l'interrupteur associé en série au sectionneur de terre, de sorte que l'organe de manoeuvre de l'interrupteur commande simultanément l'ouverture de l'interrupteur et la fermeture du sectionneur de terre, respectivement la fermeture de l'interrupteur et l'ouverture du sectionneur de terre. De manière également connue, le sectionneur de terre comprend un contact fixe relié électriquement à l'interrupteur, et un contact mobile porté par un arbre porte contact rotatif et relié à la terre.In a manner also known, such a mechanism can be a passage mechanism of neutral point capable of being coupled, via a mechanism interlocking, to the operating member of the switch associated in series with the earthing switch, so that the operating member of the switch controls simultaneously opening the switch and closing the earthing switch, respectively closing the switch and opening the earthing switch. Of also known manner, the earthing switch comprises a fixed contact connected electrically at the switch, and a movable contact carried by a contact-carrying shaft rotating and earthed.
Du fait d'un couplage direct entre l'interrupteur et le sectionneur, il peut arriver que le blocage pour une raison quelconque de l'arbre porte contact empêche le fonctionnement de l'interrupteur associé. Un tel blocage est particulièrement grave pour l'équipement électrique à protéger si, lors de l'apparition d'une anomalie, il empêche l'ouverture de l'interrupteur.Due to a direct coupling between the switch and the disconnector, it may happen that the blocking for any reason of the contact holder shaft prevents operation of the associated switch. Such a blockage is particularly serious for the equipment to protect if, when an anomaly occurs, it prevents the opening of the switch.
Par ailleurs, le document US-A-3 735 073 divulgue un interrupteur seul comportant un mécanisme à double ressort, un premier ressort pour basculer l'interrupteur de la positon ouverte vers la position fermée, et un second ressort pour vaincre les forces électromagnétiques à l'occasion d'un défaut électrique.Furthermore, document US-A-3,735,073 discloses a single switch comprising a double spring mechanism, a first spring to flip the switch of the open position to the closed position, and a second spring to overcome the forces electromagnetic when an electrical fault occurs.
L'invention vise à remédier à l'inconvénient évoqué ci-dessus, en proposant un mécanisme particulièrement fiable et sûr en ce qui concerne la protection électrique assurée par la cellule.The invention aims to remedy the drawback mentioned above, by proposing a particularly reliable and safe mechanism with regard to electrical protection provided by the cell.
Le mécanisme selon l'invention est décrit dans la revendication 1. The mechanism according to the invention is described in claim 1.
De préférence, le passage du point mort du premier mécanisme s'effectue sensiblement en fin de course de l'organe de manoeuvre associé à l'interrupteur, et la première position angulaire correspond à la position de l'arbre porte contact en position stable ouverte du sectionneur.Preferably, the passage from the neutral point of the first mechanism takes place substantially at the end of the stroke of the operating member associated with the switch, and the first angular position corresponds to the position of the contact carrier shaft in stable position disconnector open.
Ainsi, lors de la fermeture du sectionneur, la manoeuvre de l'organe de manoeuvre est dite "indépendante", c'est à dire que l'arbre porte contact rotatif ne se met effectivement en mouvement que lorsque l'organe de manoeuvre est quasiment en fin de course, et que par conséquent l'interrupteur est déjà en position ouverte. Au contraire, lors de l'ouverture du sectionneur, la manoeuvre de l'organe de manoeuvre est dite "dépendante", c'est à dire que la mise en mouvement de l'organe de manoeuvre se traduit directement par un mouvement de l'arbre porte contact.Thus, when the disconnector is closed, the operation of the operating member is so-called "independent", that is to say that the rotary contact shaft does not start actually in motion only when the operating member is almost at the end and therefore the switch is already in the open position. At on the contrary, during the opening of the disconnector, the operation of the operating member is said to be "dependent", that is to say that the setting in motion of the operating member directly results in a movement of the contact carrier shaft.
De préférence, le premier mécanisme est situé à l'une des extrémités de l'axe de rotation de l'arbre porte contact, tandis que le second mécanisme est situé à l'autre extrémité dudit axe de rotation.Preferably, the first mechanism is located at one end of the axis of rotation of the contact carrier shaft, while the second mechanism is located at the other end of said axis of rotation.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2, la cellule de protection 1 comporte une arrivée
électrique 2 et un départ électrique 6. Branchés en série entre l'arrivée 2 et le départ 3,
on trouvera par exemple un interrupteur ou un disjoncteur 3 à trois positions (fermé,
ouvert, mis à la terre) à coupure dans du gaz SF6, un fusible 4 et un sectionneur de
terre 5. Le sectionneur 5 comprend de manière classique un contact fixe 8 et un contact
mobile rotatif 7. Un mécanisme d'interverrouillage 11 est prévu entre l'organe de
manoeuvre 13 de l'interrupteur 3 et le mécanisme d'ouverture et de fermeture du
sectionneur 5, de sorte que l'entraínement de l'organe de manoeuvre 13 commande
simultanément l'ouverture de l'interrupteur 3 et la fermeture du sectionneur 5,
respectivement la fermeture de l'interrupteur 3 et l'ouverture du sectionneur 5. Pour
une alimentation triphasée, la cellule de protection 1 comportera trois circuits
électriques identiques à celui de la figure 2, disposés en parallèle. Une telle cellule de
protection est particulièrement bien adaptée pour la protection des transformateurs
moyenne tension.With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the protection cell 1 has an inlet
electrical 2 and an
La figure 3 illustre un sectionneur triphasé comportant trois contacts fixes 8a, 8b et 8c
et trois contacts mobiles 7a, 7b et 7c, ces derniers étant montés sur un arbre porte
contact 9, monté à pivotement autour d'un axe 10. De manière connue, le mécanisme
d'ouverture et de fermeture du sectionneur est couplé à l'organe de manoeuvre 13 de
l'interrupteur 3 par l'intermédiaire d'une tige de verrouillage 11 mobile en translation
dans le sens de sa longueur.FIG. 3 illustrates a three-phase disconnector comprising three
L'une des extrémités de la tige 11 porte une bielle 12 articulée sur l'organe de
manoeuvre rotatif 13 de l'interrupteur 3, tandis que l'autre extrémité porte un guide
11a muni d'une lumière rectiligne 34 disposée parallèlement à la tige 11 et destinée à
coopérer avec le mécanisme du sectionneur 5.One of the ends of the
Selon l'invention, le mécanisme du sectionneur comprend un premier 30 et un second
20 mécanismes à passage de point mort. De préférence, les mécanisme de passage à
point mort 20 et 30 sont situés de part et d'autre de l'axe 10 de rotation de l'arbre porte
contact 9 de façon à équilibrer l'ensemble mobile.According to the invention, the disconnector mechanism comprises a first 30 and a second
20 mechanisms at neutral. Preferably, the passage mechanisms to
neutral 20 and 30 are located on either side of the
Les mécanismes 20 et 30 et leur mode de fonctionnement vont maintenant être décrits
en détail en référence aux figures 4 à 11.
Le premier mécanisme 30 à passage de point mort illustré aux figures 4 à 6, 8, 9 et 11
est supporté par un châssis fixe 40a sur lequel est monté l'axe 10 de l'arbre porte
contact 9. Le mécanisme 30 comprend une manivelle 32 montée en rotation autour d'un
axe 33 porté par un châssis fixe 40a. La manivelle 32 est équipée d'un premier galet 35
qui coopère avec la lumière rectiligne 34 du guide 11a, et d'un second galet 36 qui
coopère avec une lumière 37 de forme complexe, pratiquée dans la partie 9a de l'arbre
porte contact 9. La manivelle 32 est sollicitée par un ressort de traction 31 ancré, d'une
part sur la manivelle 32 au point 31a, et d'autre part sur le châssis fixe 40a au point
31b.The first
En position stable ouverte, illustrée par la figure 4, l'arbre porte contact 9 forme un
angle α par rapport à une référence arbitraire fixe, par exemple l'horizontal dans le cas
présent. In the open stable position, illustrated in FIG. 4, the contact-carrying
Le second mécanisme 20 à passage de point mort illustré aux figures 7 et 10 comprend
un ressort de traction 21 ancré, d'une part au point 21a sur un renvoi d'angle 9b
solidaire de l'arbre porte contact 9, et d'autre part sur le châssis fixe 40b au point 21b.The second
Le fonctionnement va maintenant être décrit en détail. Lorsqu'on actionne l'organe de
manoeuvre 13 associé à l'interrupteur 3 en vue d'ouvrir l'interrupteur 3 et de fermer le
sectionneur 5, (Figure 5, les points 31a, 33 et 31b sont alignés), la tige 11 subit un
mouvement de translation vertical vers le bas et la lumière 34 associée au guide 11a
glisse sur le galet 35.The operation will now be described in detail. When we activate the organ of
L'arbre porte contact 9 reste donc immobile. Après une certaine course à vide, l'organe
de manoeuvre 13 étant pratiquement en fin de course, l'extrémité de la lumière 34 vient
buter sur le galet 35 et entraíne la manivelle 32 en rotation autour de l'axe 33. Le
ressort 31 résistant jusqu'ici, vient prendre sa position de point mort (Figure 5, les
points 31a, 33 et 31b sont alignés), l'arbre porte contact 9 n'ayant toujours pas bougé
du fait du déplacement libre du galet 36 à l'intérieur de la lumière 37. Dès que le
ressort 31 a dépassé sa position de point mort, il devient moteur et met l'arbre porte
contact 9 en rotation au travers du galet 36 et de la lumière 37. A ce stade, l'organe de
manoeuvre 13 est arrivé en fin de course (Figure 6).The contact-carrying
Au cours de la rotation de l'arbre porte contact 9, le ressort 21 du second mécanisme
20, résistant jusqu'alors, atteint sa position de point mort (Figure 7, les points 21a, 33
et 21b sont alignés) lorsque l'arbre porte contact 9 forme un angle β avec la référence
fixe arbitraire, puis devient moteur à son tour. Ceci a pour effet d'équilibrer les couples
moteur aux deux extrémités de l'axe 10 et d'accélérer la fermeture du sectionneur 5
(Figure 8).During the rotation of the contact-carrying
La fermeture du sectionneur 5 est dite indépendante, le déplacement de l'arbre porte
contact 9 n'étant pas directement couplé à l'entraínement de l'organe de manoeuvre 13,
car il est légèrement retardé. On comprendra ainsi que tout corps étranger empêchant
accidentellement la fermeture du sectionneur 5, ne pourra en aucun cas empêcher
l'ouverture de l'interrupteur 3. L'arbre porte contact 9 pouvant être équipé d'un
indicateur de position angulaire, il suffira alors de vérifier, avant toute intervention sur
l'installation, que le sectionneur 5 est bel et bien fermé.The closing of the
Lorsque l'on actionne l'organe de manoeuvre 13 associé à l'interrupteur 3 en vue de
fermer l'interrupteur 3 et d'ouvrir le sectionneur 5, la tige 11 subit un mouvement de
translation inverse et entraíne dès le début de sa translation la manivelle 32 et l'arbre
porte contact 9 (Figure 9). L'ouverture du sectionneur 5 est dite dépendante, car tout
mouvement de l'organe de commande 13 entraíne aussitôt le déplacement de l'arbre
porte contact 9. On comprendra ainsi que tout corps étranger empêchant
accidentellement l'ouverture du sectionneur 5, empêchera par la même, la fermeture de
l'interrupteur 3.When the
Dès que l'arbre porte contact 9a atteint une position angulaire γ (Figure 9), le ressort 31
du mécanisme 30, jusqu'ici résistant, passe par son point mort, puis devient moteur.
L'organe de manoeuvre 13 est alors pratiquement en fin de course.As soon as the contact-carrying
Enfin lorsque l'arbre contact 9 arrive à la position angulaire β illustrée par la Figure
10, identique en ce qui concerne l'angle à celle de la Figure 7, le ressort 21 du
mécanisme 20, jusqu'ici résistant, passe par son point mort, puis devient moteur à son
tour. L'arbre porte contact 9 termine alors sa course d'ouverture (Figure 11) pour
arriver à nouveau en position stable ouvert (Figure 1).Finally when the
Selon le mode particulier de réalisation décrit ci-dessus, le passage du point mort du
ressort 31 lors de la fermeture du sectionneur correspond à la position angulaire α du
bras porte contact en position ouvert; cependant, l'homme de métier comprendra
facilement que cette caractéristique n'est pas impérative.According to the particular embodiment described above, the passage of the neutral point of the
Par contre, la position angulaire β du passage du point mort du ressort 21 associé au
mécanisme 20 devra toujours se situer entre les positions angulaires α et β des passages
du point mort du ressort 31 associé au mécanisme 30, respectivement à la fermeture et
à l'ouverture du sectionneur. Ainsi le passage du point mort du mécanisme 30 précède
le passage du point mort du mécanisme 20, quel que soit le sens de la manoeuvre de
l'organe de commande 13; de préférence ces trois positions angulaires α et β et γ sont
plus proches de la position ouverte que de la position fermée.On the other hand, the angular position β of the passage of the neutral point of the
On notera également que dans les positions ouverte (Figure 4) et fermée (Figure 8) du
sectionneur, l'irréversibilité est assurée par la forme particulière de la lumière 37 et la
position relative de la manivelle 32 et de son galet 36.Note also that in the open (Figure 4) and closed (Figure 8) positions of the
disconnector, irreversibility is ensured by the particular shape of the light 37 and the
relative position of the
