Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a mechanism for actuating a three-position switch, the switch comprising a main shaft supporting or actuating electrical contacts and which can be selectively brought into three stable positions, a central position or position of opening, a switch closing position and a grounding closing position, said main shaft being connected by levers, on the one hand to a first switch closing and opening control device and d on the other hand to a second earthing and opening closing control device.
  • a known control mechanism of the kind mentioned above comprises two control devices which cooperate with a single spring imposing abrupt maneuvers of said main shaft, so that the levers transmit to the main shaft an increasing torque from the position central to switch closed and earthed positions, in neutral position for stable locking of the main shaft.
  • Such a control mechanism does not make it possible to obtain an increasing force when the switch is closed and a decreasing force when it is opened.
  • such a mechanism does not allow it to be mounted, from the same parts, either in a configuration in which the action that a user must do to trigger the closing of the switch is a single movement performed on one piece, another configuration in which the action that a user must take to trigger the closing of the switch is an arming action and an independent triggering action.
  • An object of the invention consists in proposing a mechanism which does not have the drawbacks mentioned above in relation to the mechanisms of the prior art.
  • the actuation mechanism of a three-position switch comprising: a main shaft supporting or actuating contacts and which can be selectively brought into three stable positions, an open position and, on the one hand and on the other side of this open position, respectively a switch closed position and a grounded closed position; and a central crank which is pivotally mounted relative to a fixed frame of the mechanism and which can be actuated so as to be able to assume three angular pivot positions corresponding respectively to said three stable positions, the mechanism comprising a mechanical movement transformation system which produces a kinetic ratio between the angular displacement of the central crank and that of the main shaft which increases when the central crank 31A passes from the open position to the switch closed position, where it follows that the the force transmitted to the electrical contacts increases continuously as one passes from the open position to the closed position of the switch.
  • the actuation mechanism comprises a first spring and a second spring, these two springs being compressed simultaneously when the actuation mechanism is in the armed open position with a view to coming into position switch closing, in that the transition from the open position to the switch closed position is triggered by the relaxation of the first spring and in that the transition from the switch closed position to the position opening is triggered by the trigger of the second spring.
  • the second spring is further compressed when the actuation mechanism is in the armed opening position with a view to coming into the earthed closing position and in that the passage from the open position to the closed earth position is triggered by the relaxation of the second spring.
  • the first spring also serves to brake the start of the closing, by exerting a push on an arming plate of the second spring in a certain direction when the closing movement begins. earthing, this thrust then reversing, passing through a neutral point, in the vicinity of the end of the earthing closing movement.
  • the mechanism comprises a central crank rigidly coupled to a central cam, these two parts pivoting together around the axis of the main shaft and being connected to said movement transformation system in order to control this in order to activate the electrical contacts via the main shaft, and a pivoting arming plate independently around the axis of the main shaft, the first spring is interposed between a first crankshaft and the central crank, the second spring is interposed between a second crankshaft and the cocking plate, the first crankshaft allows the cocking of the first spring for closing the switch and is coupled to a drive cam which actuates the arming plate in order to simultaneously arm the second spring for opening, and the second crankshaft makes it possible to arm the second spring for earthing closure.
  • the end of the second spring opposite the second crankshaft is connected to an axis which is connected to the cocking plate and which is also slidably mounted in a circular slot made in the main cam , so that the arming plate is used to arm the second spring while the axis slides in the circular slot, that the relaxation of the first spring causes the main cam to pivot in a certain direction while the axis remains fixed and the circular slot slides with respect to the axis, and that the relaxation of the second spring causes a displacement of the axis which abuts against one end of the circular slot causing a shock and the pivoting in the opposite direction of the main cam.
  • a main shaft 10 is pivotally mounted, (of which only one end can be distinguished upward) on an upper flange (not shown) and on a lower flange 11 and which supports or actuates electrical contacts (not shown) in order to be able to selectively bring the switch into three stable positions, a central position or switch opening position, a switch closing position and a grounding closing position.
  • the lower flange 11 and the upper flange (not shown) consist of flat and parallel plates and are connected to each other by three spacers 13, so that the entire actuation mechanism according to the invention is essentially housed between the two flanges which serve as fixed or pivoting supports for the various parts which constitute this mechanism.
  • the switch opening position C1 corresponds to the opening position of the electrical contacts and the switch closing positions C2 and earthing closing positions C3 are located on either side relative to the position.
  • FIG. 2 there is the actuation mechanism of Figure 1 which is in the switch C1 open position.
  • the essential parts of the mechanism have been represented in a simplified manner simultaneously according to four different graphics, each of which illustrates the same mechanism in the same position but according to different simplified illustration modes, this in order to better understand the operation of the parts of the mechanism.
  • the same mode of representation has been made for FIGS. 3 to 8.
  • Each FIG. 2 to 8 comprises from left to right four graphics representing respectively a movement transformation system, part of the mechanism which includes two springs, the position of the two springs and the mode of transmission of the forces between the springs and the other parts.
  • the shaft 10 is driven by a drive finger 25 which is, in this figure, located in the position which corresponds to the open position of the switch C1.
  • this drive finger 25 can move on an arc around the main shaft 10, on either side of this switch opening position, about 60 °. If the drive finger 25 is moved to the right in the drawing, it will drive the main shaft 10 into the closed position switch C2, and if the drive finger 25 is moved to the left in the drawing, it will drive the main shaft 10 in the closed grounding position C3.
  • the mechanism includes a movement transformation system which operates as follows.
  • a central crank 31A is pivotally supported around the main shaft 10 and it is connected by an articulation, comprising a transformation control pin 41, to one end of a secondary transformation connecting rod 42 the other end of which is connected by an articulation, comprising a transformation return axis 46, to a transformation return 43 which is pivotally mounted around a return axis of the fixed transformation system 16.
  • the transformation return 43 is a part having the general shape of an L which forms two rigid branches substantially perpendicular to each other, one of which connects the axis 16 to the axis 46 and the other of which connects the axis 16 to a transformation control pin 45 which makes it possible to articulate the transformation reference 43 to one end of a main drive rod 44 whose other end is articulated to the drive finger 25 of the main shaft 10.
  • the pivotal movement of the central crank 31A allows the three positions C1, C2 and C3 of the drive finger 25 to be controlled selectively via the transformation system which has just been described. main tree 10.
  • a switch operating axis 14 is connected to a handle or to any actuation device (not shown) for controlling the switch in order to bring it into the closed position C2.
  • An earth operating pin 15 is connected to another lever or to another device any actuation (not shown) for controlling the switch to bring it in or make it leave the closed grounding position C3.
  • a first spring 30 is generally arranged between the switch operating axis 14 and a joint having an axis 60 located on a central cam 31B.
  • the central crank 31A and the central cam 31B are mounted on the same pivot axis and are rigidly connected to each other. Consequently, a pivoting of a certain angle of one of these two parts causes the pivoting of the same angle of the other part.
  • the first spring 30 is mounted on a first spring guide 61, one end of which is connected to the axis 60 and the other end of which is held at the level of the axis 14.
  • the second spring 34 is generally disposed between the earth axis 15 and a second spring end axis 62.
  • the second spring 34 is mounted on a second spring guide 33, one end of which is connected to the axis 62 and the other end of which is held in place level of the axis 15.
  • One end of the second spring 34 bears against the second spring guide 33 in the vicinity of the axis 62 and, in the same way, one end of the first spring 30 bears against the guide first spring 61 in the vicinity of the axis 60.
  • the axis 62 is engaged in a circular slot 63 formed in the main cam 31B, so as to be able to slide in this slot 63 over a certain length of arc centered around the main shaft 10.
  • a certain rotation of the switch operating axis 14 simultaneously causes compression of the first spring 30 and compression of the second spring 34, as will be described in more detail below.
  • This rotation of the switch operating axis 14 corresponds to the arming of the switch, that is to say the actuation of the switch by a person in order to move it from the position of disarmed switch opening ( Figure 2) to the armed switch opening position ( Figure 3).
  • the mechanisms for obtaining these compressions of the springs 30 and 34 are explained in detail now.
  • the first spring cocking crankshaft 27 comprises an eccentric first spring cocking axis 64 which moves in a slot 65 of the first spring guide 61 pressing against a support piece 66, so that the rotation of the crankshaft 27 causes the displacement of the axis 64 in the slot 65, this displacement causing the corresponding displacement of the component support 66 and the compression of the first spring 30, the distal end of which bears against the support piece 66.
  • the crankshaft 27 rotates approximately 180 ° and thus causes the compression of the first spring 30.
  • the second spring cocking cam 53 has a cam surface which is in abutment against a roller 67 mounted on a distal end of a second spring cocking rod 54. This roller turns around an axis 68.
  • the second spring cocking rod 54 can slide in a slot (not visible on the drawings because behind the connecting rod 54) formed in a fixed guide piece 69, this slot being oriented substantially radially with respect to the axis of rotation of the switch operating axis 14.
  • the second spring 34 can effectively compress due to the displacement of the axis 62, because its distal end is, at the same time, kept fixed at the level of the earth operating axis 15.
  • a rotation of this axis 14 of approximately 180 ° effectively allows (passing from the position of the mechanism of Figure 2 to the position of the mechanism of Figure 3) to simultaneously compress the first spring 30 and the second spring 34, that is to say to pass the mechanism from a disarmed switch opening position ( Figure 2) to an armed switch opening position ( Figure 3).
  • This mechanism comprises a rocker 36 which is constituted by a part pivotally mounted on a rocker axis 18.
  • the crankshaft 27 comprises a lateral projection 71 forming a rocker control face 28 which, when the crankshaft 27 is turned up to the armed position of Figure 3, pushes a corresponding bearing face 70 of the rocker 36 thereby slightly pivoting the rocker 36 (counterclockwise in the drawing of Figure 3).
  • a cylindrical surface forming the outer limit of the protrusion 71 and which is behind the rocker control face 28 is then located opposite and near the rocker 36 ( Figure 3) and, in this position, both the bearing face 70 of the rocker 36 and a radial protuberance 72 of this rocker 36 come against or near the cylindrical surface of the protuberance 71 of the crankshaft 27, so that the rocker 36 is rotated by a certain angle and then is immobilized, as shown in Figure 3.
  • a locking finger 55 is also provided on the rocker 36 and this locking finger 55 forms on the rocker 36 a radial protuberance which is substantially directed away from the switch operating axis 14.
  • the mechanism further comprises a closing lock 38 which is constituted by a connecting rod, one end of which is pivotally mounted about a fixed locking axis 20 and the other end of which comprises a locking roller 73 which, in the armed switch opening position ( Figure 3), comes to bear against a hooking surface before closing 39 which is formed substantially radially at the periphery of the central cam 31B.
  • a closing lock 38 which is constituted by a connecting rod, one end of which is pivotally mounted about a fixed locking axis 20 and the other end of which comprises a locking roller 73 which, in the armed switch opening position ( Figure 3), comes to bear against a hooking surface before closing 39 which is formed substantially radially at the periphery of the central cam 31B.
  • the mechanism further comprises a secondary lock 37 which is formed by a part pivotally mounted around a fixed axis of secondary lock 19 and which comprises a locking finger 75 which, in the armed switch opening position (FIG. 3 ) comes to block the roller 73 in order to maintain it against the attachment surface 39 thereby preventing rotation in the clockwise direction of the central cam 31B.
  • the secondary lock 37 further comprises a switch closing trigger arm 57 and a recess 76 which is located, in the armed switch opening position of FIG. 3, opposite the locking finger 55 of the rocker 36 It follows from this that, in the armed switch opening position of FIG. 3, it is possible to act on the switch closing trigger arm 57 by pushing it so as to rotate in the clockwise direction.
  • This sudden pivoting in the clockwise direction of the central cam 31B causes an equal pivoting of the central crank 31A and consequently a pivoting of the crank pin 41.
  • This pivoting of the axis 41 causes a longitudinal displacement towards the outside of the secondary connecting rod 42, a tilting in the direction of clockwise of the transformation reference 43, a displacement of the transformation control axis 45, a displacement (to the right in the drawing) of the main drive rod 44 and ultimately, a rotation in the direction anticlockwise of the main shaft 10, thus causing the electrical contacts to close in order to bring the switch to the switch closing position C2 (FIG. 4).
  • the displacement of the closing release arm 37 can be carried out either manually or using any actuation means, for example electromagnetic means.
  • the motion transformation system which essentially comprises the parts 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 and makes it possible to modify this characteristic of decreasing force of the spring by ensuring that, on the contrary, at the level of the main shaft 10, the actuation force of the contacts electric is increasing when the mechanism goes from the open position C1 to the switch closed position C2 and is decreasing when the mechanism goes from the switch closed position C2 to the open position C1.
  • the movement transformation system also makes it possible to ensure that, at the level of the main shaft 10, the actuation force of the electrical contacts is increasing when the mechanism passes from the open position C1 to the grounding closing position C3.
  • These characteristic transformations are made possible because the kinetic ratio between the movement of the central crank 31A and the main shaft 10 varies according to the angle at which the central crank 31A is pivoted.
  • the first spring 30 When the mechanism is in the switch closed position C2, the first spring 30 is relaxed and the second spring 34 is compressed.
  • the first spring cocking crankshaft 27 is also held in its position because the crankshaft protrusion 71 is in abutment, at the level of the leading face 28 of the protrusion 71, against a roller 29 mounted on the free end of the opening trigger lever 56.
  • the mechanism being in the switch C2 closing position, it suffices to actuate the opening trigger lever 56 by turning it clockwise.
  • the opening release lever can be actuated either manually or using any actuation means, for example electromagnetic means. At that time, as it is represented in FIG.
  • crankshaft 27 drives in its sudden rotation the arming cam of second spring 53 and, as the profile of this cam is a helix extending over approximately 180 ° and stopping suddenly, the beginning of the rotation of this cam 53 releases its contact with the roller 67, which has the consequence that the second spring cocking plate 32 is no longer held in rotation by the second spring cocking rod 54, and this plate 32 can then turn abruptly in counterclockwise under the compression force of the second spring 34.
  • the second spring end axis 62 suddenly moves counterclockwise and, as this axis 62 is housed in the circular slot 63, it abuts with impact against the left end of this slot 63, it rotates (with impact) in the anticlockwise direction the central cam 31B so to bring this cam to da ns the switch open position as shown in Figure 2.
  • the two springs 30 and 34 are then relaxed and the mechanism is therefore found in the open position of disarmed switch.
  • This grounding axis 15 comprises a second spring cocking crankshaft 51 which has an eccentric second spring cocking axis 80 which moves in a slot 81 formed in the distal end of the second spring guide 33 by pressing against a support piece 82, so that the rotation of the crankshaft 51 causes the displacement of the axis 80 in the slot 81, this displacement causing the corresponding displacement of the component d 'support 82 and consequently the compression of the second spring 34.
  • This actuation of the earth operating pin 15 consists in rotating it around 180 ° in order to bring it to the position which is shown in the figure 6.
  • the lever 48 is maintained in a position which is such that the roller 49 is applied against the periphery of the central cam 31B coming into abutment against a bearing face 50 of the central cam 31B, so that the closing retention lever of earth 48 prevents rotation of the central cam 31B anti-clockwise.
  • the mechanism further comprises an earth opening rod 35 which is hingedly connected to the central crank 31A and which comprises at its other end a slot 85 closed on the side of its distal end and in which slides the axis 80.
  • the axis 80 which rotates with the crankshaft 51 is in abutment against the distal end of slot 85 and it consequently causes the longitudinal displacement of the earth opening rod 35 in the direction of its distance from the central part of the mechanism, and this displacement towards the outside of the connecting rod 35 causes the central crank 31A to rotate clockwise.
  • This central crank 31A further comprises a finger 86 which, in the earthing closed position, bears against the end axis of the second spring 62, and it follows from this that this rotation in the direction of clockwise from the central crank 31A causes, on the one hand the actuation of the main shaft 10 to come into the open position and on the other hand a certain partial compression of the second spring 34.
  • the finger 86 also serves to transmit the compressive force of the second spring 34 to the central crank 31A, this central crank being, due to the action of the spring 34, pushed in the direction of a pivoting in the opposite direction of the needles d 'a watch.
  • rocker 36 has been described so that, during the maneuver passing the mechanism from the position of disarmed opening to the armed opening position, this rocker 36 passes from a position (FIG. 2) in which it prohibits pivoting of the secondary closing bolt 37 (due to the position of its locking finger 55) at a position in which it unlocks the secondary closing latch 37 (because its locking finger 55 is then located opposite the recess 76 of the latch 37).
  • this rocker 36 can be used but by turning it over, as shown in dotted lines in the lower part of FIGS.
  • a secondary closing lock watch 37 shows, automatically, thereby automatically triggering the abrupt closing action which brings the mechanism into the switch closing position shown in FIG. 4.
  • the essential characteristics of the operation of the mechanism according to the present invention are as follows.
  • compression of both the first spring 30 and the second spring 34 is caused.
  • This double compression has the consequence that after this initial arming , the relaxation of the first spring 30 will cause the sudden actuation of the mechanism in order to bring it into the closed position of switch C2, and then, the relaxation of the second spring 34 will cause the sudden actuation of the mechanism in order to bring it back into the initial opening position C1.
  • the rocker 36 is constituted by a part which, depending on whether it is mounted in a certain direction (as shown in solid lines) or in the other direction which corresponds to a reversal of the part (as shown in dotted lines), has the advantage that the mechanism can be constructed either in such a way that after the arming operation of the mechanism it is necessary to manually actuate the secondary closing bolt 37 to cause closing, or construct the mechanism in such a way that the end of the movement which causes the mechanism to be armed automatically triggers it for automatic closing.
  • the actuating force of the mechanism (produced by the relaxation of the first spring or of the second spring) is a force which is initially large and which then decreases, which is unfavorable for efficient operation of the switch.
  • the movement transformation system allows these increasing forces to be made at the level of the main shaft 10.
  • the first spring 30 is used to trigger the closing (with an increasing force obtained thanks to the movement transformation system).
  • the first spring 30 serves to trigger the opening by acting on the second spring drive cam 53, this spring 30 also serves to brake the end of opening (because during the end of the anti-clockwise movement of the central crank 31A, the spring 30 begins to compress), and the second spring 34 is used to supply most of the actuating energy (by producing a shock effect to initiate the opening of the electrical contacts, this shock being produced by the coming into contact of the pin 62 against the left end of the slot 63 - Figure 5).
  • the first spring 30 is used to brake the start of the closing (by pushing on the second spring cocking plate 32 clockwise during from the start of earthing closure (figure 6), this thrust then reversing, passing through a neutral point, thus contributing to the increase in forces towards the end of the earthing closing movement (figure 7)) and the second spring 34 is used to provide most of the actuation energy for the grounding closure.

Antriebsmechanismus nach einem der Ansprüche 5 oder 6, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß er darüber hinaus eine Wippe (36) aufweist, die so ausgelegt ist, daß im Verlauf der Handlung zur Überführung des Antriebsmechanismus' von der entspannten Ausschaltstellung in die gespannte Ausschaltstellung diese Wippe (36) von einer Stellung (siehe Figur 2), in der sie aufgnind eines an ihr ausgebildeten Verriegelungsfingers (55) ein Verschwenken der Hilfsverriegelung (37) verhindert, in eine Stellung (siehe Figur 3) übergeht, in der sie aufgrund der nun eingenommenen Stellung des Verriegelungsfingers (55) gegenüber einer Ausnehmung (76) der Verriegelung (37) die Hilfsverriegelung (37) löst, wobei die Wippe (36) darüber hinaus umgedreht werden kann, so daß in dieser umgedrehten Einbaulage der Wippe (36) ihr Verriegelungsfinger (55) einen Vorsprung (87) der Hilfsverriegelung (37) beaufschlagt, derart daß der Verriegelungsfinger (55) in der Endphase der Bewegung zur Überführung des Antriebsmechanismus' in die gespannte Ausschaltstellung diesen Vorsprung (87) wegdrückt, um so die Hilfsverriegelung (37) im Uhrzeigersinn zu verschwenken, und dabei automatisch die sprungartige Einschalthandlung auslöst, die den Antriebsmechanismus in die Einschaltstellung der Schalterkontakte überführt.
