Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-pole electric switch with rotary control, in particular of the switch-disconnector type, comprising a housing with which is associated a control handle to rotary handle which accommodates several movable contact bridges arranged in a slide and cooperating with fixed contacts, the slide being can be moved in translation by the lever via a core cam member secured to the rotating lever.
  • Such a switch is known from document EP-219 570.
  • the slide In response when switching the lever from an "off" position to an “on” position, the slide moves from a position remote from the joystick, in which the contact bridges are separated from fixed contacts, at a position close to the lever, in which the contact bridges are applied to the contacts fixed. It appears that the switch in question deserves to be simplified when it is of small caliber. It is thus particularly desirable to simplify the composition and assembly of such a switch, while reducing its size.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to simplify the composition and to facilitate the assembly of a switch of the type described. Its other purpose is to reduce its overall height and keep it large flexibility of implementation.
  • the cam member comprises to ensure cooperation between the core and the slide on the one hand at least two notches, by example two pairs of notches, offset around the axis of rotation of the joystick, on the other hand at least one control projection, for example a pair of such projections, applied in the off position and respectively in walking position at the bottom of one or the other notch by the spring force requesting the slide.
  • the realization of the switch is thus greatly simplified, in particular when the slide includes open grooves opposite the handle for housing and guiding contact bridges, pressure springs contact being applied on the one hand on the housing, on the other hand on the bridges, and contributing to the application of the control projection against notches.
  • the size of the switch in its main direction, that is to say parallel to the axis of rotation of the handle of the handle, is then reduced.
  • the notches are of unequal height in one direction main switch parallel to the axis of rotation of the joystick, and the projections and notches are located on the core, cylindrical in shape, and on a receptacle head also cylindrical in shape, the core and the head having substantially equal diameters.
  • Connection terminals accessible from the front and rear of the switch in the main direction can advantageously be provided in the housing. These terminals can be elastic; they are from preferably two coaxial screws cooperating with the same cage in which penetrates a fixed contact piece.
  • the housing can consist of a base and a body, the terminals of connection each having an opening made towards the front in the body and a rear opening in the base.
  • the body can include lateral cavities 6a housing the terminals and closed during inserting the body into the base.
  • the housing may include a passage for a clean actuating rod to the handle, the handle having shapes on a span snap fitted to cooperate with elastic elements latching located in the passage, this allows to fix different handles on the same housing.
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective a conforming switch-disconnector to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows it with separation of the rotary control head.
  • Figure 3 shows part of the switch and its returnable additive.
  • FIGs 4 and 5 show the slide and the contact bridges in positions respective "stop” and "walk”.
  • Figure 6 is an axial section of the same elements, left in position stop and right in on position.
  • Figure 7 is a schematic exploded axial section of the switch.
  • Figure 8 is a view along VIII-VIII of the slide and its core ordered.
  • the electrical device shown in the figures is a switch-disconnector suitable for mounting on supports such as profiles standardized, electrical boxes or cabinets, plates or machine bodies. It includes a box 1 of generally parallelepipedal shape consisting of two main parts, namely a base 2 and a body 3 which can be inserted in the base and held in it by elements not shown, as well as a handle or handle control 4 able to rotate around an X axis.
  • the housing extends along a main direction X 'parallel to X.
  • the base 2 has orifices 5 passage for conductors to be connected in terminals respective 6 housed in cavities 6a of the body 3 and covered by the walls 2a, 2b.
  • the base 2 has a central slot 6a (see FIG. 2) allowing dialogue mechanical with an additive of auxiliary contacts 12 (see Figures 1 and 3) which will be described later, as well as slots and positioning openings or snap 6b for the additive.
  • the body 3 From the front wall 3a which closes the switch forwards, the body 3 has a passage 7, with circular outline 7a at the level of the wall, then inward polygonal 7b; at the polygonal contour 7b are provided snap-in elements 8 such as elastic levers to hold corresponding shapes 4a provided on a cylindrical surface 4b of the handle.
  • the handle also has an operating element 4c and between the latter and the bearing 4b a plastron 4d of square shape; she finally has an actuating rod 4e, the end of which has a polygonal cross section to cooperate with a cylindrical core which will be described later.
  • the handle being snap-in, so you can easily associate with the switch the desired handle.
  • the body 3 has ears 10 with 11 fixing holes for screws or threaded rods linked to the 4d front plate, to allow the handle to be secured with the housing and / or fix the handle sub-assembly to a wall or intermediate plate;
  • the base 2 has the usual elements at the rear 2e for snap fastening on a standard profile.
  • the housing 1 has a recess 9 at the front of the walls 2a, 2b and terminals 6 are each provided with two accessible coaxial screws respectively from the front by this withdrawal 9 and from the rear as we will see further.
  • passage 7 is arranged so as to rotate around the X axis without move axially, a control core 13 (see Figures 4 to 8) provided of a square hole 13a and, on two opposite sides, projections or pins of rounded command 14 of small radial width which are attached to the part of the core where the orifice opens out by an abutment facet 14a parallel to X and by an oblique facet 14b.
  • the nucleus is retained in the X direction on the side of the handle by a shoulder 3e of the body 3 (see FIG. 7).
  • a slide 16 is disposed movable parallel to X and is guided in the body 3 by ribs 17 cooperating with appropriate grooves of the body.
  • the slide has a cylindrical receptacle head forward 18 arranged to cooperate with the core 13 and having a cross section substantially identical to that of the core 13.
  • the cylindrical receptacle 18 is provided with pairs of opposite cam slots 19.20 distributed around the X axis and whose profiles are arranged to cooperate with the projections of control 14.
  • the wall thickness of the receptacle corresponds substantially to the radial width of the projections 14.
  • each "step" notch 19 is deeper in the direction X that the neighboring notch "stop” 20, offset in rotation around the X axis of 90 ° relative to the notch 19 and that the bottom of each notch 19.20 is provided to be applied against the control projection 14.
  • the notch 19 has a right side 19a, oriented in the main direction X 'and an oblique side 19b substantially parallel to the facet 14b. So is even for the notch 20 which has a right side 20a oriented along X and a oblique side 20b.
  • the oblique side 20b meets the oblique side 19b in a cusp top 18a.
  • the straight sides 19a, 20a cooperate with the abutment facet 14a of the core 13 to stop the rotation and the top 18a ensures the transition from one notch to the other during the rotation of the controller.
  • the slide 16 has grooves 16a open towards the base, each groove housing a movable contact bridge 21 and the end upper part of a contact pressure spring 22 associated with the bridge. Each spring 22 is applied at its opposite end against a lower wall 2f of the base 2.
  • the slide 16 laterally comprises openings 23 to cause a mobile contact of an additive 12.
  • the slide is biased further towards the core by two lateral springs auxiliaries 24, threaded on one side on canons 16b of the slide and in support on the other side on the wall 2f of the base.
  • the slide is therefore applied against the core by the force produced by the pressure springs of contact 22 and the auxiliary springs 24. It is understood that the bridges of contact can be easily introduced for mounting in the grooves 16a parallel to the main direction X '.
  • the bottom 2f of the base 2 has suitable conformations 2g to accommodate the ends of the springs 22,24.
  • each terminal 6 has a cage 26 located in the cavity 6a, opening towards a respective passage 5 and provided on the one hand towards the front with a threaded orifice 27, on the other hand towards the rear of a tapped hole 28.
  • Respective screws 29.30 maneuverable from the front by an opening 31 in the body and rearwards by an opening 32 of the base are associated with the orifices 27, 28.
  • the tightening operation of a conductor inserted in passage 5 is carried out by moving the cage or a screw forward.
  • this screw remains fixed in translation by stop against an abutment veil 3f of the body 3 and the cage moves according to the arrow F towards the front of the switch so that the conductor is clamped between the cage and the part 25.
  • this screw moves in translation along arrow F, while the cage remains fixed and the conductor is clamped between the end of the screw and the part 25.
  • the openings 32 open at the rear of the base in the area fixing elements 2e of the base 2 to a standardized profile.
  • Additives 12 have terminals 34 with two screws in a housing 33 similar or identical to the two screw terminals 6 of the switch.
  • the additive may have a contact bridge whose movement is controlled by a element interacting via the slot 6a with the opening 23 of the slide 16.
  • the housing 33 of the additive has holes 35 towards the front and towards the rear orifices 36 for operating the terminals 34.
  • the additive 12 is arranged and mounted to be turned over against the wall 2c, 2d so as to be able occupy two positions 180 ° from each other and thus constitute in the first position an additive with opening and in the second position a closing additive.
