Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of circuit breakers.
- a circuit breaker has one or more several isolated circuits, each of these circuits extending between an input terminal and an output terminal and comprising a fixed contact-mobile contact pair associated with a room arc extinction. At least one of these circuits includes one or several triggers associated with a circuit breaker mechanism controlling the movements of the circuit breaker's moving contacts. These triggers, well known per se, can either be bimetal thermal triggers, i.e. triggers electromagnetic excitation coil.
- the present invention relates to circuits for circuit breaker comprising at least one thermal trip device bimetallic strip. It more specifically targets circuit breakers whose the elements are concentrated in a small box.
- phase circuit breakers and neutral for which the phase and neutral circuits are arranged next to each other in the box with a insulating partition.
- phase circuit includes triggers. It's about, in general, a bimetal thermal trip device and a electromagnetic release with excitation coil.
- An example of such a single pole and neutral circuit breaker is given in the European patent published under number 403358.
- phase circuit can be integrated into such a single-pole circuit breaker and neutral is as follows: one of the terminals is connected to the bimetallic strip which is itself connected, on the one hand, to a horn of arc formation, and, on the other hand, mobile phase contact; the other terminal is connected to one end of the coil excitation whose other end is connected to another arc-forming horn on which the contact is installed fixed.
- arc-forming horns the two metal plates between which forms and then spreads the electric arc opening of said circuit, the chamber corresponding arc extinction occurring between these horns.
- phase circuit of such a circuit breaker is breaks down into a first subset, called a subset electromagnetic, including one of the terminals, the coil of excitation and an arc-forming horn carrying the contact fixed, and a second subset, called thermal subset, including the other terminal, the bimetallic strip, the other training horn of arc and mobile contact.
- a subset electromagnetic including one of the terminals, the coil of excitation and an arc-forming horn carrying the contact fixed
- thermal subset including the other terminal, the bimetallic strip, the other training horn of arc and mobile contact.
- the latter is also united of the circuit breaker circuit breaker mechanism located in part of the housing covering the parts reserved for phase and neutral circuits.
- the thermal sub-assembly which has just been defined can be integrated not only into the phase circuit of a single pole and neutral circuit breaker but also in any circuit circuit breaker comprising a bimetal thermal trip device.
- the present invention relates more particularly such a thermal sub-assembly.
- the terminal has a cage crossed by a clamping screw and in which is a rigid connection on which is welded the end of a braid, the other end of this braid being welded on one of the large faces of the foot of the bimetallic strip.
- the other large face of the foot of the bimetallic strip is welded to the horn of corresponding arc formation, the latter extending locally parallel to said bimetallic strip.
- a second braid is welded, on the one hand, to the upper part of the bimetallic strip and, on the other hand, on the corresponding mobile contact.
- a thermal sub-assembly has also been proposed similar to the previous one, except that the rigid connection of the terminal is larger and is directly welded to the foot of the bimetallic strip, extending locally parallel to it latest. The base of the bimetallic strip is thus sandwiched between this connection and the arcing horn.
- this subset now comprises only seven elements, the assembly of which requires only four welds.
- circuit breakers in a circuit breaker a piece of sheet metal cut and folded so that serve as a connection terminal, bimetal support and of arc-forming horn. This is the case, in particular, in circuit breakers described by French patents published under the Nos. 2,434,474 and 2,580,861, which describes the closest state of the art.
- this part must be made in steel.
- the arching horns must be of this metal to provide arc formation and guidance adapted to its extinction in the arc extinguishing chamber.
- steel is not a suitable material as far as concerns the connection between the terminal and the bimetallic strip. Indeed, this material is not sufficiently good conductor to avoid local heating problems when the current is high intensity. So we realized that the layout of a steel part playing both the role of connection between the terminal and the bimetallic strip and that of the training horn arc was not an option, especially for circuit breakers whose operating current is greater than 16 amps.
- the part serving as a support for bimetal is connected to the terminal creates a risk of disturbance of the bimetallic strip when handling the screw tightening for the installation of an electric wire in the thick headed. Indeed, the action of the clamping screw on this wire will pass through, through this room, to the bimetallic strip. Now the latter, to properly fulfill its function, should not be moved from the position in which it was rule.
- the object of the present invention is in particular to resolve all the problems which have just been mentioned.
- the invention proposes a subset thermal adapted to be integrated in a circuit breaker of the kind comprising, in a housing, one or more isolated circuits, each of these circuits extending between an input terminal and an output terminal and comprising a contact torque mobile contact fixed associated with an arc extinguishing chamber, at least one of these circuits comprising one or more triggers associated with a commanding circuit breaker mechanism all of said movable contacts, said circuit being formed by the association of said thermal sub-assembly, comprising a bollard, a bimetal thermal trigger, a horn arcing and moving contact, and another sub-assembly, comprising at least one terminal, one horn arcing and a fixed contact, the extinguishing chamber corresponding arc lying between the formation horns respective arcs of these two subsets, said thermal sub-assembly comprising a single piece forming simultaneously arc-forming horn, electrical connection between the terminal and the bimetallic strip and support of the bi
- this plate will be a strip in dual-material copper / steel.
- strips of this material comprising a strip of copper and a steel strip welded side by side by electron bombardment.
- a circuit breaker box adapted to receive a sub-assembly thermal is characterized in that that it includes means for immobilizing the one-piece part of the thermal sub-assembly, at least two of said means immobilization intervening on said one-piece piece between the terminal and the cut-out portion of the support for the bimetallic strip, different places along the length of said piece.
- immobilization means prevent stresses exerted on the one-piece part of the sub-assembly temperature by the terminal clamping screw does not cause disturbance of the bimetallic strip. It is necessary that there is at least two means of immobilization intervening in places different over the length of the single piece between the terminal and the bimetal support. Indeed, if there is only one, the action of the clamping screw on the single piece can cause its local deformation by bending around said means immobilization, causing a disruption of the bimetallic strip.
- thermo sub-assembly 1 comprising a terminal 2, a bimetal thermal release 3, a lower horn of arc formation 4B and a movable contact 5 connected to said bimetallic strip with a braid 8.
- This thermal sub-assembly 1 is adapted to be integrated in the phase circuit of a single pole and neutral circuit breaker.
- phase circuit and neutral circuit extending next to each other on the other between respective input and output terminals, and each comprising a fixed contact-movable contact couple associated with an arc extinguishing chamber, the phase circuit comprising a bimetal thermal trip device and a trip device electromagnetic excitation coil associated with a mechanism circuit breaker intervening above the phase circuits and neutral, said mechanism controlling the movable contacts of phase and neutral.
- phase circuit of such a circuit breaker will formed by the association of the following thermal sub-assembly 1 the present invention, from another subset, says electromagnetic sub-assembly, comprising a terminal, the excitation coil and upper arc-forming horn carrying the fixed contact, and the arc extinguishing chamber.
- the subset thermal 1 includes a one-piece part 4, one end of which is engaged with a stirrup 6 forming a movable cage of the terminal 2, and on which the bimetallic strip 3 is welded.
- This single piece 4 is shown alone on the figure 3. As seen in this figure, this part is formed by an elongated plate folded several times, so that it has two parts 4A and 4B.
- the first part 4A of the piece 4 extends first of all horizontally then substantially vertically downwards to, finally, go back upwards by describing a U.
- first part 4A of part 4 forms a first sub-part 31.
- two lateral projections 30 are formed on the free end of this subpart 31.
- This subpart 31 of the first part 4A of the piece 4 is, as seen in Figure 1, suitable for cooperate with the caliper 6. More precisely, this sub-part 31 passes through the stirrup 6, its width being adapted to the width interior of said stirrup, so that sub-part 31 and stirrup 6 can slide vertically relative to each other.
- the end of a tightening screw 7, acting according to the height of stirrup 6, is suitable to wear on this subpart 31 in order to fix the relative height of the said piece and said stirrup.
- Projections 30 and a lateral projection additional 12 formed on one side of the sub-part 31 limit the longitudinal movement of the stirrup on said Subpart.
- part 4 is bent downwards, so that said part 4A has a second sub-part 32 extending down in a generally vertical direction.
- This the latter is provided with two lateral projections 33.
- this second sub-part is slightly bent below the projections 33, so that its lower part is slightly offset longitudinally.
- the first part 4A of part 4 after the second subpart 32, continues with a third sub-part 34 laterally offset from the subparts 31 and 32.
- this Subpart 34 after the transverse section which connects it to the sub-part 32, first extends downwards following a first vertical branch 34A, then, after a bend, extends upwards along a second vertical branch 34B.
- the branch vertical 34B of subpart 34 ends with a branch transverse 37 centered with respect to the longitudinal axis AA, said vertical branch 34B being located on one side of this axis.
- a tab 35 leaves the branch transverse 37.
- the tab 35 extends substantially parallel to the end of the sub-part 34.
- this tab 35 extends downward, substantially straight, with a certain inclination, so that its end is near the lower end of the first branch vertical 34A of subpart 34.
- the end 36 of the tab 35 is folded so as to be offset from the rest of said leg. It is on this end 36 of the tab 35 that the bimetallic strip can be welded, as seen on the figure 1.
- the tab 35 is an integral part of the part 4. It is simply a portion of said part which is cut so that only one end of this portion is linked to the rest of said room, as seen besides well on figure 4.
- the part 4 is bent towards the horizontal and presents a second part 4B.
- this part 4B first extends downwards with a certain inclination, forming a branch 38B, then horizontally, forming a branch 38C.
- This part 4B is centered with respect to the longitudinal axis AA of the part 4.
- Part 4 before folding is obtained by cutting a plate of dual-material copper / steel.
- bands of this material comprising a copper strip and a steel strip welded side by side by electron bombardment, are commercially available.
- the separation between the two materials corresponds to the median longitudinal axis of the tape in question.
- Part 4 is cut transversely in the strip of bi-material material, i.e. its longitudinal axis AA corresponds to a width of said strip. She is cut out so that its first part 4A is entirely in copper and its second part 4B is entirely made of steel. Sure Figure 4, we see the line 40 of separation between the strip copper and steel strip.
- a box that can advantageously receive the thermal sub-assembly 1, of which only one is shown here a central part 10, has, conventionally, a shape broadly parallelepiped.
- a frontal part of this case is reserved for the circuit breaker circuit breaker mechanism, the rest of the case being shared between the neutral circuit and the phase circuit which extend one next to the other, parallel to the large side faces of the case, between their respective terminals intervening at the level of small side faces of the housing.
- This case consists of the assembly of two half-shells intervening on both sides of a plan longitudinal, and of the middle piece 10 taken between said half shells.
- the central part 10 has a partition insulator 11 separating the phase and neutral circuits from circuit breaker.
- two parts 11A of this partition 11 extend in the median plane of the housing.
- the part remaining 11B of the partition 11, connecting the two parts 11A, is offset from the latter towards the large face side of the box corresponding to the circuit compartment neutral.
- the phase circuit is therefore installed in the most large of the two compartments demarcated on either side of the partition 11.
- the phase circuit will be installed on the middle part 10 then covered by the half-shell corresponding.
- this piece 10 come molding of reliefs and depressions forming means for positioning and / or fixing of the various elements of said phase circuit.
- the corresponding half-shell has reliefs and hollows complementary to those in Exhibit 10, allowing complete the fixing of the various elements.
- the stirrup 6 forming a movable cage of the terminal 2 is installed in a half-housing 14, delimited by the wall side 18 of part 10, a lower transverse partition 15 and a lateral transverse partition 19.
- a half-housing 14 is associated with a complementary half-housing (not shown) formed on the corresponding half-shell to form a housing in which the stirrup 6 can slide vertically.
- the screw 7 is also placed in a half-housing of the part 10 adapted to be associated with a complementary half-housing (not shown) of the corresponding half-shell.
- Exhibit 4 including Subpart 31 of Part 4A, forming a fixed conductive part of terminal 2, is located the inside of the bracket 6 with the screw 7 which bears on its face upper, is installed on the middle part 10 in the way which will now be described.
- a side portion of the end of this subpart 31, including one of lateral projections 30, is introduced into a housing 21 formed in the side wall 18 of the room 10, at the top of a notch 16 intended to form, in cooperation with a complementary notch of the corresponding half-shell, an access light to terminal 2.
- the second sub-part 32 of this part 4A is resting against the lower part of the partition transverse 19 whose upper part, slightly offset by compared to said lower part, limit as we saw the caliper housing 6.
- One of the lateral projections 33 is in taken with a housing 22 formed in the partition 11.
- the lateral shift occurring between the second Subpart 32 and the third Subpart 34 of Part 4B of part 4 corresponds to the offset between parts 11A and 11B of the partition 11, the part 11A extending in a plane of the circuit breaker, and part 11B being shifted towards the compartment reserved for the neutral circuit. So this third sub-part 34 remains close to the partition 11, leaving a large free space in which the bimetallic strip.
- This sub-part 34 passes between two walls transverse 20 and 23 which delimit a passage extending first vertically, then horizontally, as we can see in Figure 2.
- two pins 27 and 28 are formed one above the other on the opposite walls 20 and 23 respectively, said pins being adapted to deform elastically when the limb vertical 34A of subpart 34 is introduced in said vertical passage, so as to immobilize said branch.
- the transverse wall 23 is so high that it does not touch not the leg 35 opposite which it is, as we see it in figure 2.
- the part 4 forms a bimetal support, via lug 35 on which the bimetallic strip is welded.
- Part 4A of this part ensures the connection electric between, on the one hand, the bimetallic strip and, on the other hand, the terminal of which it forms the fixed conducting part.
- This part 4A is made entirely of copper, a good conductive material.
- part 4B of this piece forms a horn lower arc of the phase circuit of the circuit breaker.
- This part is entirely made of steel, suitable material for the formation of the electric arc.
- These three immobilization means cooperate to immobilize the one-piece part 4 inside the housing.
- the part of the thermal sub-assembly which carries the bimetallic strip keeps a certain flexibility to allow adjustment of the latter.
- the support of the bimetallic strip that is to say the tab 35 which is not connected to the rest of room 4 that by one end, is enough flexible to allow adjustment of said bimetallic strip.
- the second and third immobilization means intervene between terminal 2 and the bimetal support bracket 35 in two different places on the length of said piece.
- the numerous bends in part 4 contribute also attenuating the spread of these disturbances.
- the means of immobilization intervene on both sides of the first bend down as described in Exhibit 4, on the one hand, and on the other and on the other side of the first side bend of this part, on the other go. This arrangement advantageously contributes to the attenuation of the disturbances propagating on the part 4 between the terminal and the bimetal support.
- Figure 4 has been shown a part 4 intended to be integrated into a phase circuit intervening to the right of the circuit breaker.
- Figure 5 has been shown a piece 104 intended to be integrated into a phase circuit involved in left side of the circuit breaker.
- the parties located in Figures 5 and 6, to the right of the transverse axis BB of parts 4 and 104 are identical.
- the parts of these parts located to the left of the BB axis they are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis AA. So we can use the same tool to perform the folding operations allowing the production of parts 4 and 104.
- ends 36 and 136 of legs 35 and 135 of parts 4 and 104 are all two centered with respect to the longitudinal axis AA of the part 4. This facilitates welding operations automated bimetal, the AA axis, which is the median axis of the part 4B of part 4, which can be taken as the axis of reference.
- a single pole circuit breaker and neutral can be converted into the circuit breaker part of a unipolar and neutral differential circuit breaker by a few structural improvements.
- the windings neutral and phase primaries of the differential part must be connected in series on the corresponding circuits of the circuit breaker part.
- the connection of the primary phase winding on the phase circuit of the circuit breaker is made by two transverse connections including one is engaged with a connection connected to the bimetallic strip and the other engaged with a connection connected to the terminal. So, to adapt the thermal sub-assembly described here in the section circuit breaker of a unipolar and neutral differential circuit breaker, just cut the one piece 4 in the way shown in Figure 6, i.e. removing the sub-part 31 and a large portion of Subpart 32 of Part 4A of this part 4. On what remains of Subpart 32 may be welded the transverse connection from the winding phase primary and to be connected to the bimetallic strip.
