Abstract
Description
L'invention est relative à un disjoncteur électrique à boítier isolant moulé comprenant un premier compartiment de logement du mécanisme de commande, et un deuxième compartiment renfermant un actionneur électromagnétique, et des contacts séparables associés à une chambre de coupure , ledit actionneur ayant un circuit magnétique , et comportant:
- un noyau sur lequel est monté une bobine d'excitation,
- un premier entrefer dans lequel s'étend le bras de contact mobile pour occuper une position de repos dans l'état de fermeture des contacts, et une position active de séparation des contacts lorsque l'intensité du courant dépasse un seuil prédéterminé,
- une palette pivotante coopérant avec des faces polaires du circuit magnétique pour former un deuxième entrefer situé à l'opposé du premier entrefer,
- et un percuteur associé à la palette pour agir sur le bras de contact dans le sens de l'ouverture après attraction magnétique de la palette contre les faces polaires.
- a core on which an excitation coil is mounted,
- a first air gap in which the movable contact arm extends to occupy a rest position in the closed state of the contacts, and an active position for separating the contacts when the current intensity exceeds a predetermined threshold,
- a pivoting pallet cooperating with polar faces of the magnetic circuit to form a second air gap located opposite the first air gap,
- and a striker associated with the pallet to act on the contact arm in the direction of opening after magnetic attraction of the pallet against the pole faces.
L'emploi dans un disjoncteur d'un actionneur électromagnétique pour provoquer la séparation rapide des contacts permet d'obtenir des pouvoirs de coupure très importants. L'extinction de l'arc dans la chambre de coupure génère néanmoins des gaz ionisés susceptibles de produire des phénomènes de manifestations extérieures. Ces phénomènes sont particulièrement indésirables du côté de la face avant, dus à l'échappement de gaz ionisés par l'orifice autorisant le débattement de la manette.Use of an electromagnetic actuator in a circuit breaker to cause rapid separation of the contacts makes it possible to obtain very high breaking powers. The extinction of the arc in the breaking chamber nevertheless generates ionized gases likely to produce phenomena of external manifestations. These phenomena are particularly undesirable on the front side, due to the escape of gas ionized by the orifice allowing the movement of the lever.
L'objet de l'invention consiste à réaliser un disjoncteur électrique pour hautes performances, insensible à tout phénomène de manifestations extérieures.The object of the invention is to provide an electrical circuit breaker for high performance, insensitive to any phenomenon of external manifestations.
Le disjoncteur selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que le percuteur est formé par une pièce allongée située entre le circuit magnétique et le premier compartiment, et coopérant avec les moyens de support du bras de contact pour obturer le passage entre les premier et deuxième compartiments après attraction de la palette, et pour libérer ledit passage après le rappel de la palette vers la position écartée.The circuit breaker according to the invention is characterized in that the striker is formed by a elongated part located between the magnetic circuit and the first compartment, and cooperating with the contact arm support means for closing the passage between the first and second compartments after attraction of the pallet, and to free said passage after the pallet recall to the spread position.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, l'axe de liaison du percuteur sur la palette est disposé dans une zone intermédiaire entre l'axe d'articulation de la palette, et le deuxième entrefer. Le percuteur constitue un écran qui s'adapte à la partie interne du boítier. Le passage entre ces deux compartiments est avantageusement situé au-dessus du premier entrefer à l'opposé du contact fixe. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the axis of connection of the striker on the pallet is arranged in an intermediate zone between the axis of articulation of the pallet, and the second air gap. The striker constitutes a screen which adapts to the internal part of the housing. The passage between these two compartments is advantageously located above the first air gap opposite the fixed contact.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, les moyens de support du bras de contact comportent des butées d'entraínement coopérant avec le mécanisme, et une face d'appui coopérant avec l'extrémité libre du percuteur pour délimiter ledit passageAccording to a characteristic of the invention, the means for supporting the contact arm have drive stops cooperating with the mechanism, and a bearing face cooperating with the free end of the striker to delimit said passage
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels:Other advantages and characteristics will emerge more clearly from the description which follows. follow an embodiment of the invention, given by way of nonlimiting example, and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:
La figure 1 est une vue schématique en élévation du disjoncteur équipé de l'actionneur selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a schematic elevational view of the circuit breaker equipped with the actuator according to the invention.
La figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de l'actionneur de la figure 1.FIG. 2 represents a perspective view of the actuator of FIG. 1.
La figure 3 est une vue en coupe par le plan médian de l'actionneur de la figure 2, la palette et le percuteur étant en position inactive.Figure 3 is a sectional view through the median plane of the actuator of Figure 2, the pallet and the striker being in the inactive position.
La figure 4 montre une vue en plan de la figure 3.Figure 4 shows a plan view of Figure 3.
La figure 5 est une vue identique de la figure 3, en position active de la palette et du percuteur.Figure 5 is an identical view to Figure 3, in the active position of the pallet and the striker.
La figure 6 est une vue en plan de la figure 5.Figure 6 is a plan view of Figure 5.
En référence à la figure 1, un disjoncteur 1 comprend un boítier 2 renfermant un contact
fixe 3, un contact mobile 4 monté à l'extrémité d'un bras de contact mobile 5, une chambre
de coupure 6 et divers éléments de connexions électriques (non représentés) permettant de
relier les contact fixe et mobile à des bornes (non représentées). Le disjoncteur comporte en
plus un actionneur électromagnétique AE provoquant en cas de défaut le déclenchement du
disjoncteur, et la séparation rapide des contacts fixe et mobile 3, 4.Referring to Figure 1, a circuit breaker 1 comprises a
L'actionneur électromagnétique AE comprend une culasse 7 en matériau magnétique, une
palette 8 pivotante, et un percuteur 9.The electromagnetic actuator AE comprises a
Sur la figure 2, la culasse ou circuit magnétique 7 en forme de H, comporte un noyau 10
cylindrique entouré par une bobine 34, et deux flancs 11, 12 disposés parallèlement entre
eux, et s'étendant perpendiculairement à l'axe du noyau 10. Le flanc 11 présente une
première extrémité 13 dirigée vers la palette 8 et une seconde extrémité opposée 14. L'autre
flanc 12 comprend une troisième extrémité (non représentée) dirigée vers la palette 8 et une
quatrième extrémité opposée 16. La première extrémité 13 et la troisième extrémité forment
des faces polaires coplanaires coopérant avec la face plane 18 de la palette 8. Les seconde et
quatrième extrémités 14, 16 forment des faces planes disposées en regard l'une de l'autre
pour délimiter un premier entrefer 17.In FIG. 2, the cylinder head or
Lorsque l'actionneur électromagnétique AE est au repos, la palette 8 est située à une
certaine distance par rapport à la face 18 de la culasse 7 en formant un deuxième entrefer
19. La palette 8 pivotante est montée sur un axe d'articulation 21 et le bras de contact
mobile 5 est également monté à pivotement grâce à un autre axe d'articulation 22. Le
contact fixe 3 se trouve à la base de l'entrefer 17, et au moins une partie du bras de contact
mobile 5 s'étend au travers de l'entrefer 17. Le percuteur 9 se présente sous la forme d'une
pièce allongée sensiblement rectangulaire dont une extrémité est articulée sur un axe de
liaison 23 agencé sur la palette 8, et dont l'autre extrémité libre 24 est située à proximité du
bras de contact mobile 5, et du côté opposé au contact fixe 3.When the electromagnetic actuator AE is at rest, the
La largeur du percuteur correspond sensiblement à la largeur du boítier.The width of the striker corresponds substantially to the width of the housing.
En référence aux figures 3 à 6, le bras de contact 5 est porté par des moyens de support 26
agencés à l'opposé du contact mobile 4, et ayant des butées d'entraínement coopérant avec
le mécanisme (non représenté) pour assurer la fermeture et la séparation des contacts 3, 4.
Les moyens de support 26 comportent en plus une face d'appui 36 coopérant avec
l'extrémité libre 24 du percuteur 9.Referring to Figures 3 to 6, the
L'axe de liaison 23 du percuteur 9 sur la palette 8 est situé dans une zone intermédiaire
entre l'axe d'articulation 21 et le deuxième entrefer 19. L'extrémité libre 24 du percuteur 9
est séparée de la face d'appui 36 par un passage 28 en forme de fente dont l'épaisseur est
variable en fonction de l'état de magnétisation de l'actionneur électromagnétique AE.The connecting
Dans la position de fermeture des contacts 3, 4 (figures 3 et 4), le flux magnétique dans le
deuxième entrefer 19 suite au passage du courant nominal dans la bobine de l'actionneur
AE, est insuffisant pour attirer la palette 8 contre les surfaces polaires 13 de la culasse 7. La
palette 8 est maintenue en position écartée sous l'action de son ressort de rappel, et le
percuteur 9 reste également immobile en position inactive. La fente 28 entre le percuteur 9
et les moyens de support 26 du bras 5 est maximum, et permet la communication de la zone
des contacts avec le compartiment supérieur 30 de logement du mécanisme 31. In the closed position of
En présence d'un courant de court-circuit, l'accroissement du flux magnétique dans la
culasse 7 engendre des forces électromagnétiques importantes dans le premier entrefer 17,
sollicitant le bras de contact 5 vers la position d'ouverture (figures 5 et 6). La palette 8
pivotante est attirée simultanément contre les surfaces polaires 13 du deuxième entrefer 19,
et entraíne le percuteur 9 en translation dans le même sens. La venue en engagement de
l'extrémité 28 contre les moyens de support 26 accélère le pivotement du bras de contact 5
vers la position d'ouverture, et obture en même temps la fente 28. Les gaz ionisés
engendrés par l'arc lors de la séparation des contacts 3, 4 ne peuvent s'échapper vers le
compartiment supérieur 30, et restent confinés dans le compartiment inférieur 32 de
logement de la chambre de coupure 6. Le percuteur 9 en plus de sa fonction d'accélération
du bras de contact 5, joue ainsi un rôle d'écran de séparation entre les deux compartiments,
et la fente 28 reste obturée en position attirée de la palette 8, c'est à dire aussi longtemps
que le courant dans la bobine dépasse une valeur prédéterminée. L'obturation de la fente 28
au cours de la phase d'extinction de l'arc empêche tout refoulement de gaz vers le
compartiment supérieur 30, et en particulier vers l'orifice de passage de la manette, de
manière à éviter tout phénomène de manifestations extérieures au niveau de la face avant du
boítier 2.In the presence of a short-circuit current, the increase in magnetic flux in the
