- an insulating gas with dielectric strength high such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
- SF6 sulfur hexafluoride
- the second auxiliary circuit being consisting of a vacuum interrupter which also bathes in insulating gas.
- the tight or non-sealed enclosure 4 of the switch is filled with air or a gas dielectric such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and has an arrival range of current 1 and a starting range of current 2.
- the arrival range 1 is divided into three conductive branches 1a, 1b and 1c.
- the two branches 1a and 1b carry respectively at their end two fixed main contacts 30a and 30b, while the branch lc carries at its end a fixed auxiliary contact 35.
- the fixed main contacts 30a and 30b are capable of cooperating with contacts main mobiles 20a and 20b pivotally mounted about an axis 3; the contact fixed auxiliary 35 cooperates with a movable auxiliary contact 25, also mounted at pivot around axis 3.
- the axis 3 is carried by two fixed conductive branches 2a and 2b which meet at the level of the starting range 2.
- the movable auxiliary contact 25 is electrically connected to the branches 2a and 2b, therefore to the start 2, by means of an electrical connection 4.
- the auxiliary circuit formed by the auxiliary contacts 25, 35 is therefore arranged in parallel to the main circuit formed by the main contacts 20a, 20b, 30a and 30b.

- the switch is equipped with the third circuit electric comprising the vacuum interrupter 15, the drive of the crank 9 control simultaneously opening and closing the vacuum interrupter 15.
- the crank 9 and the connecting rod 11 forms a toggle mechanism, so that the closure of the contacts 15a and 15b of the bulb 15 is done only during the opening maneuvers and closing the switch ( Figures 4 and 6). In stable open or closed positions, the contacts 15a and 15b of the vacuum interrupter 15 remain open ( Figures 3 and 5).

- the drive rod 6 passes through the movable main contact 20a and is connected to the crank 9 by means of a connecting rod 7 articulated on the axis 8.
- a second drive rod 6a passes through the movable auxiliary contact 25 and is connected to the crank 9 by means of a second connecting rod 7a articulated on the axis 8a.
- the two rod-crank systems 7 and 7a being distinct and different, it becomes possible to introduce a continuous variation of the angular phase shift between the main contact mobile 20a and the mobile auxiliary contact 25 when the crank 9 is rotated.
- open position of the switch ( Figure 9) the movable main contact 20a is substantially in phase with the mobile auxiliary contact 25.

Description
L'invention est relative à un interrupteur ou disjoncteur électrique moyenne ou haute tension.The invention relates to a medium or high electric switch or circuit breaker voltage.
De manière connue, par exemple d'après le document FR-A-2.494.493, un tel
interrupteur comprend notamment :
un circuit principal doté d'au moins un contact principal fixe et d'au moins un contact
principal mobile monté à pivotement autour d'un axe;
- un circuit auxiliaire, encore appelé circuit de shuntage, disposé en parallèle par rapport au circuit principal et doté d'un contact auxiliaire fixe et d'un contact auxiliaire mobile monté à pivotement sur le même axe;
- un mécanisme d'entraínement destiné à entraíner simultanément en rotation autour de l'axe en question, le contact principal mobile et le contact auxiliaire mobile.

- a drive mechanism for simultaneously driving in rotation about the axis in question, the movable main contact and the movable auxiliary contact.
L'inconvénient d'un tel interrupteur réside dans le fait qu'il existe un couplage direct et rigide en rotation entre le contact principal mobile et le contact auxiliaire mobile.The disadvantage of such a switch lies in the fact that there is a direct coupling and rigid in rotation between the movable main contact and the movable auxiliary contact.
Il est par ailleurs connu, par exemple, d'après les documents US-A-3.215.803 et US-A-5.160.817, de faire varier le déphasage angulaire entre le contact principal mobile et le contact auxiliaire mobile.It is also known, for example, from documents US-A-3,215.803 and US-A-5,160,817, to vary the angular phase shift between the main contact mobile and the auxiliary mobile contact.

The invention applies in particular to switches and circuit breakers in which the main circuit and the auxiliary circuit is immersed in an insulating gas with dielectric strength high, such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), the second auxiliary circuit being consisting of a vacuum interrupter which also bathes in insulating gas.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2, illustrant un exemple utile à la compréhension de
l'invention, l'enceinte 4 étanche ou non de l'interrupteur est remplie d'air ou d'un gaz
diélectrique tel que l'hexafluorure de soufre (SF6) et comporte une plage d'arrivée de
courant 1 et une plage de départ de courant 2. La plage d'arrivée 1 se divise en trois
branches conductrices 1a, 1b et 1c. Les deux branches 1a et 1b portent respectivement
à leur extrémité deux contacts principaux fixes 30a et 30b, tandis que la branche lc
porte à son extrémité un contact auxiliaire fixe 35.With reference to Figures 1 and 2, illustrating an example useful for understanding
the invention, the tight or
Les contacts principaux fixes 30a et 30b sont susceptibles de coopérer avec des contacts
principaux mobiles 20a et 20b montés à pivotement autour d'un axe 3; le contact
auxiliaire fixe 35 coopère avec un contact auxiliaire mobile 25, également monté à
pivotement autour de l'axe 3.The fixed
L'axe 3 est porté par deux branches conductrices fixes 2a et 2b qui se rejoignent au
niveau de la plage de départ 2. The
Le contact auxiliaire mobile 25 est relié électriquement aux branches 2a et 2b, donc au
départ 2, au moyen d'une liaison électrique 4.The movable
Le circuit auxiliaire formé par les contacts auxiliaires 25, 35 est donc disposé en
parallèle par rapport au circuit principal formé par les contacts principaux 20a, 20b,
30a et 30b.The auxiliary circuit formed by the
Une tige d'entraínement 6, parallèle à l'axe 3, traverse les contacts principaux mobiles
20a et 20b et est reliée à une manivelle 9 montée en rotation autour de l'axe 10 par
l'intermédiaire d'un bielle 7 articulée sur l'axe 8.A
Sur la figure 2, deux plaques 28a et 28b, disposées de part et d'autre du contact
auxiliaire mobile 25, également montées à pivotement autour de l'axe 3, traversées par
la tige d'entraínement et sollicitées l'une vers l'autre au moyen d'un ressort 27 disposé
sur un axe 29, portent chacune deux logements hémisphériques 26a et 26b. Une bille
26 logée dans un alésage pratiqué dans le contact auxiliaire mobile 25, est maintenue
dans l'une ou l'autre paire de logements 26a ou 26b.In FIG. 2, two
L'ensemble formé par le contact auxiliaire mobile 25, les deux plaques 28a et 28b, les
logements 26a et 26b, le ressort 27 et la bille 26, constituent un mécanisme de
verrouillage à bille à deux positions pseudo-stables, qui permet d'introduire des
variations des positions angulaires relatives entre d'une part les contacts principaux
mobiles 20a, 20b et d'autre part le contact auxiliaire mobile 25.The assembly formed by the movable
En outre, selon un mode de réalisation préféré, un troisième circuit électrique
comprenant une ampoule à vide 15 connue en soi, reliée d'une part à la plage 1 par la
liaison électrique 16, et d'autre part à la plage 2 par la liaison électrique 19, est
disposée en parallèle par rapport aux circuits principal et auxiliaire. La tige mobile 14
de l'ampoule à vide 15 est relié par une bielle 11 équipée d'un ressort 12 à la manivelle
9. On pourra avantageusement se reporter au document FR-A-2.655.766 qui décrit le
mécanisme associé à l'ampoule à vide.In addition, according to a preferred embodiment, a third electrical circuit
comprising a
Le fonctionnement du mécanisme va maintenant être décrit en détail en référence aux figures 3 à 6.The operation of the mechanism will now be described in detail with reference to Figures 3 to 6.
En position ouverte de l'interrupteur (Figure 3), le becquet 25a se trouve en butée sur
une butée fixe 5 et la bille 26 est positionnée dans les logements 26a des deux plaques
28a et 28b. En d'autres termes, le contact auxiliaire mobile 25 est en avance sur les
contacts principaux mobiles 20a et 20b.In the open position of the switch (Figure 3), the
En vue de la fermeture de l'interrupteur (Figure 4), la manivelle 9 est mise en rotation
autour de l'axe 10. La manivelle 9 entraíne la bielle 7, la tige d'entraínement 6 et par la
même les deux contacts principaux mobiles 20a et 20b et les deux plaques 28a et 28b.
Ces dernières entraínent à leur tour, au travers du mécanisme de verrouillage à bille, le
contact auxiliaire mobile 25.In order to close the switch (Figure 4), the
Dans un premier stade, le contact auxiliaire mobile 25 entre en contact avec le contact
auxiliaire fixe 15, les contacts principaux étant toujours ouverts.In a first stage, the movable
Puis dans un second stade (Figure 5), la pointe 25b du contact auxiliaire 25 vient
heurter une butée 35a du contact auxiliaire fixe 35, ce qui a pour effet de basculer le
mécanisme de verrouillage à bille dans la position 26b; simultanément, les contacts
principaux mobiles 20a et 20b se ferment sur les contacts principaux fixes 30a et 30b.Then in a second stage (Figure 5), the
Dans ce second stade, on s'apercevra donc que le mécanisme de verrouillage à bille
activé en fin de course de fermeture, a permis de modifier le déphasage angulaire entre
les contacts principaux mobiles 20a et 20b, et le contact auxiliaire mobile 25a. Ce
déphasage est en fait devenu très faible, de sorte que lors de l'ouverture suivante de
l'interrupteur (Figure 6), l'ouverture des contacts principaux et auxiliaires s'effectuera
sensiblement au même moment. De préférence, l'ouverture des contacts principaux
précèdera très légèrement l'ouverture du contact auxiliaire.In this second stage, it will therefore be seen that the ball locking mechanism
activated at the end of the closing stroke, made it possible to modify the angular phase shift between
the movable
En fin de course d'ouverture, le becquet 25a vient heurter la butée 5 (Figure 3), ce qui
a pour effet de basculer le mécanisme de verrouillage à bille dans la position initiale
26a, donc de faite varier le déphasage angulaire de sorte que lors de la fermeture
suivante, la fermeture des contacts auxiliaires précède à nouveau la fermeture des
contacts principaux.At the end of the opening stroke, the
Si, selon le mode de réalisation préféré, l'interrupteur est équipé du troisième circuit
électrique comprenant l'ampoule à vide 15, l'entraínement de la manivelle 9 commande
simultanément l'ouverture et la fermeture de l'ampoule à vide 15. La manivelle 9 et la
bielle 11 forme un mécanisme à genouillère, de sorte que la fermeture des contacts 15a
et 15b de l'ampoule 15 se fait uniquement au cours des manoeuvres d'ouverture et
fermeture de l'interrupteur (Figures 4 et 6). En positions stables ouverte ou fermée, les
contacts 15a et 15b de l'ampoule à vide 15 restent ouverts (Figures 3 et 5). If, according to the preferred embodiment, the switch is equipped with the third circuit
electric comprising the
La figure 7 donne à titre illustratif un diagramme d'ouverture et de fermeture des trois
circuits électriques (principal, auxiliaire, ampoule à vide) en fonction du temps. En
position stable ouverte (O), les trois circuits sont naturellement ouverts. Lorsque la
manoeuvre de fermeture est enclenchée, on assiste d'abord à la fermeture du circuit
auxiliaire, puis à la fermeture de l'ampoule à vide, ensuite seulement la fermeture du
circuit principal, et enfin, en fin de course de la manivelle 9, à la réouverture de
l'ampoule à vide.Figure 7 gives an illustration of an opening and closing diagram of the three
electrical circuits (main, auxiliary, vacuum interrupter) as a function of time. In
open stable position (O), the three circuits are naturally open. When the
closing operation is engaged, we first witness the closing of the circuit
auxiliary, then when the vacuum interrupter is closed, then only when the
main circuit, and finally, at the end of the
Par conséquent en position stable fermée (F), les circuits principal et auxiliaire sont fermés, tandis que l'ampoule à vide est ouverte. Lorsque la manoeuvre d'ouverture est déclenchée, on assiste d'abord à la fermeture de l'ampoule à vide, puis après un certain moment, à l'ouverture du circuit principal suivi immédiatement de l'ouverture du circuit auxiliaire, et enfin l'ouverture de l'ampoule à vide, pour se retrouver en position stable ouverte (O).Therefore in stable closed position (F), the main and auxiliary circuits are closed, while the vacuum interrupter is open. When the opening operation is triggered, we first witness the closing of the vacuum bulb, then after a certain moment, at the opening of the main circuit followed immediately by the opening of the auxiliary circuit, and finally the opening of the vacuum bulb, to find itself in position stable open (O).
L'avantage d'une telle séquence réside dans le fait que lors de la fermeture de l'interrupteur, la fermeture du circuit auxiliaire précède la fermeture de l'ampoule à vide, le préamorçage se fait donc au niveau du circuit auxiliaire, éliminant ainsi les phénomènes bien connus de réamorçages multiples associés aux ampoules à vide qui génèrent des surtensions néfastes pour certaines applications, par exemple les moteurs moyenne tension.The advantage of such a sequence is that when closing the switch, closing the auxiliary circuit precedes closing the bulb at vacuum, pre-priming is therefore done at the auxiliary circuit, thus eliminating well-known multiple reboot phenomena associated with vacuum interrupters which generate harmful overvoltages for certain applications, for example motors medium voltage.
En outre cela permet de réduire l'érosion sur les contacts principaux, ainsi que la force nécessaire à la fermeture des contacts principaux. Les contacts auxiliaires peuvent être réalisés en un matériau résistant à l'arc, et avec une éventuelle compensation contre leur usure.In addition it reduces erosion on the main contacts, as well as the force necessary to close the main contacts. Auxiliary contacts can be made of an arc-resistant material, and with possible compensation against their wear.
L'exemple préféré décrit ci-dessus est particulièrement bien adapté à un interrupteur
moyenne tension ou très haute tension, dans lequel l'enceinte étanche 1 est remplie
d'un gaz diélectrique tel que le SF6; l'ampoule à vide 15 baignera alors dans ce gaz
diélectrique tel qu'il a déjà été proposé dans le brevet français FR-A-2.655.766.The preferred example described above is particularly well suited to a switch
medium voltage or very high voltage, in which the sealed
Les figures 8 à 12 illustrent l'invention revendiquée ; leurs numéros de référence sont identiques à ceux de l'exemple décrit ci-dessus en référence aux figures 1 à 7, pour les éléments communs. Figures 8 to 12 illustrate the claimed invention; their reference numbers are identical to those of the example described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, for the common elements.
On retrouve notamment l'enceinte 4, les plages d'arrivée et de départ 2, le contact
principal fixe 30a, le contact auxiliaire fixe 35, le contact principal mobile 20a et le
contact auxiliaire mobile 25, ces deux derniers étant montés à pivotement autour de
l'axe 3. Le circuit auxiliaire est disposé en parallèle par rapport au circuit principal.We find in
La tige d'entraínement 6 traverse le contact principal mobile 20a et est relié à la
manivelle 9 par l'intermédiaire d'une bielle 7 articulée sur l'axe 8.The
Une seconde tige d'entraínement 6a traverse le contact auxiliaire mobile 25 et est reliée
à la manivelle 9 par l'intermédiaire d'une seconde bielle 7a articulée sur l'axe 8a. Les
deux systèmes bielle-manivelle 7 et 7a étant distincts et différents, il devient possible
d'introduire une variation continue du déphasage angulaire entre le contact principal
mobile 20a et le contact auxiliaire mobile 25 lors de la rotation de la manivelle 9. En
position ouverte de l'interrupteur (Figure 9) le contact principal mobile 20a est
sensiblement en phase avec le contact auxiliaire mobile 25. En cours de fermeture ou
d'ouverture (Figure 10), le contact auxiliaire mobile 25 est respectivement en avance
ou en retard par rapport au contact principal mobile 20a. Par conséquent les cycles
d'ouverture (O) et de fermeture (F) de l'interrupteur représentés à la figure 12 sont
symétriques.A second drive rod 6a passes through the movable
La figure 11 montre l'interrupteur en position fermée.Figure 11 shows the switch in the closed position.
Selon un mode préféré, un troisième circuit électrique comprenant une ampoule à vide
15 est disposé en parallèle par rapport aux circuits principal et auxiliaire.According to a preferred mode, a third electrical circuit comprising a
Si l'on adjoint l'ampoule à vide 15, cette dernière étant commandée de manière
identique au premier mode de réalisation, le diagramme d'ouverture et de fermeture
(Figure 12) reste parfaitement symétrique. A la fermeture, le circuit de l'ampoule à
vide se fermera tout d'abord, suivi de la fermeture du circuit auxiliaire, puis du circuit
principal, et enfin l'ampoule s'ouvrira à nouveau.If the
Inversement à l'ouverture, le circuit de l'ampoule se fermera tout d'abord, suivi de l'ouverture du circuit principal, puis du circuit auxiliaire, et enfin l'ampoule s'ouvrira à nouveau.Conversely upon opening, the bulb circuit will close first, followed by the main circuit, then the auxiliary circuit, and finally the bulb will open at new.
