Abstract

L'invention concerne un commutateur à actionnement rapide des contacts, permettant de réduire l'usure des contacts et ainsi d'en prolonger la durée de vie. Selon l'invention, le mécanisme de verrouillage (1) du commutateur est pourvu d'un dispositif de blocage (11) qui, pour le processus de fermeture, est tout d'abord verrouillé en vue de créer entre un élément de commutation (10) et un levier de commutation (6) un espace libre pour la course de déplacement nécessaire au processus de fermeture qui est déclenché par le déverrouillage du dispositif de blocage (11).

Claims (3)

  1. Appareil de commutation comportant un système de leviers ayant un levier (6) de commutation pour ouvrir et fermer des contacts fixes à l'aide de contacts mobiles, et comportant un élément (10) de commutation mobile dont le mouvement est couplé à l'ouverture et la fermeture des contacts fixes et des contacts mobiles, caractérisé par un élément (11) de verrouillage qui, en vue de la fermeture des contacts, verrouille d'abord l'élément (10) de commutation, afin de créer entre le levier (6) de commutation et l'élément (10) de commutation un espace libre en vue de la course complète de déplacement pour le processus de fermeture qui est déclenché par le déverrouillage de l'élément (11) de verrouillage.
  2. Appareil de commutation suivant la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que l'élément de commutation est un levier (10) articulé.
  3. Appareil de commutation suivant la revendication 1 ou 2, caractérisé en ce que le déverrouillage de l'élément (11) de verrouillage s'effectue par prise sur un galet (13) guidé par coulisse dans une platine (2) de commutation.
