Abstract
Description
La présente invention conceme un déclencheur thermique différentiel pour appareil électrique interrupteur, notamment pour disjoncteur, comprenant un équipage de déclenchement à deux réglettes montées mobiles parallèlement à une même direction et associées à un mécanisme de déclenchement, ainsi que plusieurs bilames à faces opposées applicables contre l'une et l'autre réglette par l'intermédiaire d'éléments de réglage, afin qu'une déflexion concomitante ou différente des bilames engendre un déplacement simultané ou différentiel des réglettes.The present invention relates to a differential thermal trip device for an electrical switching device, in particular for a circuit breaker, comprising a trip device with two strips mounted movable parallel to the same direction and associated with a trip mechanism, as well as several bimetals with opposite faces applicable against the one and the other strip by means of adjustment elements, so that a concomitant or different deflection of the bimetallic strips generates a simultaneous or differential movement of the strips.
Un tel déclencheur est connu d'après le document FR-2 666 928. Dans ce document est en effet décrit un procédé de réglage des courses de déclenchement des bilames, par l'utilisation d'une pièce unique pour les réglettes, puis par la dissociation de zones de liaison propres à cette pièce en des endroits déterminés par mesure de la déflexion des bilames qui provoque le déclenchement.Such a trigger is known from document FR-2 666 928. In this document is indeed described a method of adjusting the tripping strokes of bimetallic strips, by the use of a single piece for the strips, then by the dissociation of connection zones specific to this part in locations determined by measuring the deflection of the bimetallic strips which causes tripping.
Il est d'autre part bien connu d'associer aux réglettes des pièces de réglage qui sont déplacées par les bilames lors de l'opération d'étalonnage du déclencheur, la position des éléments étant figée sur les réglettes dans la position souhaitée par soudure ou collage. D'après le document WO-86 02197, il est prévu pour chaque bilame une pièce de réglage logée dans une fente qui s'ouvre vers l'extrémité du bilame. Toutefois la mise en place de la pièce de réglage dans la fente occasionne des coincements et ne facilite pas le soudage, en particulier lorsque celui-ci est réalisé par un faisceau laser.It is also well known to associate with the strips adjustment pieces which are displaced by the bimetallic strips during the trigger calibration operation, the position of the elements being fixed on the strips in the desired position by welding or collage. According to document WO-86 02197, there is provided for each bimetallic strip an adjustment part housed in a slot which opens towards the end of the bimetallic strip. However, the positioning of the adjustment piece in the slot causes jamming and does not facilitate welding, in particular when the latter is produced by a laser beam.
La présente invention a pour but de permettre un réglage simple et in situ de la course de déclenchement des bilames d'un déclencheur du type décrit, en évitant les risques de coincement et en facilitant l'opération de fixation des pièces de réglage.The object of the present invention is to allow simple and in situ adjustment of the tripping travel of the bimetallic strips of a trigger of the type described, avoiding the risks of jamming and facilitating the operation of fixing the adjusting parts.
Selon l'invention, la pièce de réglage est posée avant fixation de manière librement glissante sur un bord incliné et dégagé de la tête du bilame, en étant verticalement maintenue sur les réglettes. L'inclinaison du bord permet d'une part à la pièce de réglage de se positionner verticalement sur le bord et facilite d'autre part sa fixation, notamment par un faisceau laser de soudage.According to the invention, the adjustment piece is placed before fixing in a freely sliding manner on an inclined edge and free from the head of the bimetallic strip, while being vertically held on the strips. The inclination of the edge allows on the one hand the adjustment part to be positioned vertically on the edge and on the other hand facilitates its fixing, in particular by a laser beam of welding.
De préférence, les deux réglettes de l'équipage de déclenchement sont obtenues par découpe de zones sécables d'un cadre de pose et comprennent des logements en regard mutuel pour les pièces de réglage, ces logements étant agencés pour maintenir apposées aux bilames en position inclinée les pièces de réglage jusqu'à leur fixation aux bilames.Preferably, the two strips of the triggering equipment are obtained by cutting breakable zones from a laying frame and include housings facing each other for the adjustment parts, these housings being arranged to maintain affixed to the bimetallic strips in the inclined position. the adjustment pieces until they are fixed to the bimetallic strips
La description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, en regard des figures annexées, illustre plus en détail ses avantages et résultats.The following description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention, with reference to the appended figures, illustrates in more detail its advantages and results.
La figure 1 représente en perspective un déclencheur thermique différentiel conforme à l'invention.Figure 1 shows in perspective a differential thermal trip device according to the invention.
La figure 2 représente schématiquement en vue de dessus le déclencheur de la figure 1 après fixation des pastilles de réglage aux bilames.Figure 2 schematically shows a top view of the trigger of Figure 1 after fixing the adjustment pads to the bimetallic strips.
La figure 3 montre en élévation la tête d'un bilame avec la pastille de réglage qui lui est associée.Figure 3 shows in elevation the head of a bimetal strip with the adjustment pad associated with it.
Le déclencheur thermique différentiel 10 est destiné à être inclus dans un appareil électrique de protection tel qu'un disjoncteur-moteur, un contacteur-disjoncteur ou un relais thermique, par exemple tripolaire, assurant la protection d'une charge contre les surintensités ou les déséquilibres de phase.The differential thermal trip device 10 is intended to be included in an electrical protection device such as a motor circuit breaker, a circuit breaker or a thermal relay, for example three-pole, ensuring the protection of a load against overcurrents or imbalances. phase.
Dans le cas présent, il comporte trois bilames 11a,11b,11c constitués par des éléments plats allongés dont les pieds 12a,b,c sont montés fixes dans l'appareil et dont les têtes 13a,b,c sont susceptibles de se déplacer selon une direction X en fonction de l'échauffement qui leur est communiqué ; cet échauffement est produit par passage du courant dans des conducteurs respectifs de phase non représentés ou dans les bilames eux-mêmes. Le déclencheur comporte en outre un équipage de déclenchement 20 muni de deux réglettes 30,40 mobiles parallèlement à la direction X et servant d'organes détecteurs du déplacement, concomitant ou différencié, des bilames. Dans la direction X, la réglette 30 comprend des surfaces de butée 31a,b,c sollicitables par les bilames respectifs, ces surfaces 31 étant disposées sur des branches 32a,b,c perpendiculaires à une barrette 33 de la réglette orientée selon X ; de même, la réglette 40 comprend des surfaces de butée 41a,b,c sollicitables par les bilames dans la direction X' opposée à X et disposées sur des branches 42a,b,c perpendiculaires à une barrette 43 de la réglette orientée selon X. Aux réglettes 30,40 est articulé en des points 34,44 un levier 21 susceptible d'agir sur un mécanisme de déclenchement 14 dont seul a été représenté ici l'élément d'attaque. Le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit est bien connu de l'homme de l'art, de même que son fonctionnement; lorsque les bilames répondent de façon identique à une sollicitation thermique de surintensité, ils entraînent la réglette 30 et via le levier 21 la réglette 40 sans déplacement relatif de celle-ci par rapport à la réglette 30 ; lorsque les bilames répondent de façon différenciée aux sollicitations thermiques, l'avancée selon X de la réglette 40 est freinée par l'un des bilames, de sorte que le déplacement relatif entre les réglettes est traduit en une rotation anticipatrice du levier.In the present case, it comprises three
Il est prévu selon l'invention au niveau de la tête 13 de chaque bilame 11 une pièce de réglage 15a,b,c constituée dans le présent exemple par une pastille (voir figures) , mais qui pourrait aussi être une aiguille ou un autre élément analogue. Chaque pastille 15 coopère par une extrémité 16 ou 17 avec une surface de butée 31,41 d'une réglette respective 30,40.There is provided according to the invention at the
Avant l'opération de réglage, les pastilles sont portées par les réglettes dans des poches latérales 35,45 ménagées dans les branches 32,42 de celles-ci, les réglettes étant initialement assemblées ou formées en un cadre unique rectangulaire 30,40, en étant maintenues à une légère distance h au-dessus d'un bord horizontal supérieur 18 de la tête 13 des bilames et au contact d'un bord vertical ou incliné 19 de la tête 13, de manière à pouvoir glisser librement sur ce bord, à la fois pour être positionnées en hauteur sur celui-ci et pour se déplacer latéralement sans coincement. Le cadre 30,40 présente en deux coins opposés des zones affaiblies 36,46 qui en permettront après réglage la dissociation par découpe. Lors de l'étalonnage, consécutif à un échauffement prédéterminé des bilames, ceux-ci fléchissent et leurs têtes se déplacent relativement au cadre 30,40 selon X ; pour la position de réglage obtenue, le centre O de la pastille coïncide avec le plan moyen P du bilame ou est plus ou moins décalé par rapport à ce plan (voir figure 2). Dans cette position, la pastille 15 est alors soudée, par exemple au moyen d'un faisceau laser L, au bord 19 de la tête ; ce bord est de préférence incliné et latéralement dégagé (voir figure 3) pour permettre d'une part à la pastille 15 d'être appliquée à coup sûr par gravité contre le bilame à l'endroit souhaité de soudage, d'autre part de positionner la source du faisceau laser incliné L de soudage à l'écart du déclencheur ou de l'appareil dans lequel le déclencheur est logé. Les poches 35,45 ménagées dans les branches 32,42 des réglettes comprennent des bords inclinés 37,47 pour porter les pastilles contre les bords inclinés 19 des bilames. Dès que les pastilles ont été soudées aux bilames, une découpe par exemple par laser ou autre moyen des zones affaiblies 36,46 permet de séparer les deux réglettes.Before the adjustment operation, the pellets are carried by the strips in
