Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de coupure comprenant un boîtier de chambre de coupure d'arc électrique muni d'ailettes d'extinction d'arc, ce dispositif étant destiné à être utilisé dans chaque pôle d'appareils interrupteurs, notamment des disjoncteurs ou des contacteur-disjoncteurs basse tension multipolaires.The present invention relates to a cut-off device comprising an arc-breaking chamber housing provided with arcing extinguishing blades, this device being intended to be used in each pole of switchgear, in particular circuit-breakers or circuit breakers. multi-pole low-voltage switch-breaker.
Il existe différentes solutions pour la mise en place des ailettes d'extinction d'arc dans un boîtier de chambre de coupure de tels appareils interrupteurs. Le brevet
Cependant, il est également nécessaire d'assurer une bonne rigidité mécanique des parois latérales du boîtier de la chambre de coupure notamment à cause du souffle survenant lors d'un déclenchement du disjoncteur ou du contacteur-disjoncteur, provoqué en cas de court-circuit par exemple. Pour cela, il peut être nécessaire de renforcer la structure de ces parois latérales du boîtier.However, it is also necessary to ensure good mechanical rigidity of the side walls of the casing of the interrupting chamber in particular because of the blast occurring during a tripping of the circuit breaker or the contactor-circuit breaker, caused in the event of a short-circuit by example. For this, it may be necessary to strengthen the structure of these side walls of the housing.
L'invention a donc pour but de proposer un dispositif unique permettant à la fois de guider les ailettes d'extinction d'arc dans le boîtier de la chambre de coupure, de les isoler des contacts mobiles et de rigidifier en même temps les parois latérales du boîtier de la chambre de coupure.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a single device that makes it possible both to guide the arc extinguishing fins in the casing of the interrupting chamber, to isolate them from the moving contacts and to stiffen the side walls at the same time. of the casing of the interrupting chamber.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif de coupure d'appareil interrupteur multipolaire est tel que défini dans la revendication 1. De plus, le corps des moyens de guidage contribue également à renforcer la rigidité mécanique des parois latérales du boîtier de coupure.According to the invention, the multipolar switch device breaking device is as defined in claim 1. In addition, the body of the guide means also contributes to reinforcing the mechanical rigidity of the side walls of the breaking box.
L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple et représenté par les dessins annexés sur lesquels :
- la
figure 1 montre une vue partielle des chambres de coupure d'un appareil interrupteur tripolaire dans laquelle ne figurent que les ensembles d'ailettes d'extinction d'arc, - la
figure 2 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'une chambre de coupure selon l'invention.
- the
figure 1 shows a partial view of the breaking chambers of a three-pole switch apparatus in which only sets of arc extinguishing vanes, - the
figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a breaking chamber according to the invention.
Le dispositif de coupure décrit dans l'invention est situé dans une chambre de coupure 19 formée par un boîtier de coupure isolant 20 pour chaque pôle d'un appareil interrupteur, par exemple de type contacteur-disjoncteur. Ce boîtier de coupure 20 a une forme sensiblement parallélépipédique et comporte deux parois latérales 24 et une paroi de fond 25. Dans un appareil interrupteur multipolaire, les boîtiers de coupure 20 des différents pôles sont adjacents les uns aux autres et les parois latérales 24 adjacentes sont communes, comme représenté sur la
La
Pour dissiper l'arc électrique pouvant survenir lors d'un déclenchement de l'appareil, deux ensembles d'ailettes 17 sont disposés dans le boîtier de coupure de part et d'autre de la cage 10, de façon à pouvoir agir sur les arcs électriques émanant des deux contacts mobiles 12. Chaque ensemble d'ailettes 17 est constitué d'une pluralité d'ailettes d'extinction d'arc 16 métalliques, parallèles les unes aux autres, en forme de U, chacune dotée d'une base 16b et de deux extrémités 16a dirigées vers la cage 10 ; chaque ensemble d'ailettes 17 comporte aussi une pièce d'assemblage 15 isolante, perpendiculaire aux ailettes 16, entourant la base 16b des ailettes 16 et destinée à fixer et à maintenir celles-ci entre elles à une distance fixe.To dissipate the electric arc that may occur during a triggering of the device, two sets of
Les extrémités 16a des ailettes sont disposées à proximité de chaque contact mobile 12, suivant une direction parallèle à l'axe X correspondant au mouvement effectué par le pont de contacts mobiles 11 lors d'un déclenchement, de façon à agir le plus efficacement possible contre un arc électrique survenant entre un contact fixe et un contact mobile.The
Néanmoins les extrémités 16a des ailettes 16 doivent être protégées par une cloison isolante du contact mobile 12, du contact fixe et du pont 11. De plus, il est judicieux de prévoir des moyens de guidage pour les ensembles d'ailettes 17, de manière à pouvoir les insérer facilement et à les maintenir dans le boîtier de coupure 20. Enfin, étant donné la puissance que peut représenter le souffle lié à l'arc électrique au moment d'un déclenchement sur court-circuit par exemple, le boîtier de coupure 20 peut être soumis à des pressions importantes et il peut s'avérer nécessaire de rigidifier les parois latérales 24 du boîtier de coupure 20, à proximité du pont de contacts mobiles 11.Nevertheless the
Pour répondre à ces trois exigences, l'invention prévoit un dispositif dans lequel les parois latérales 24 du boîtier de coupure 20 comportent des moyens de guidage pour les extrémités 16a des ailettes d'extinction d'arc 16. Selon un mode de réalisation préférée, ces moyens de guidage comportent un corps 21, moulé avec chaque paroi latérale 24 vers l'intérieur du boîtier de coupure 20 et prolongé par une nervure latérale 22 sensiblement parallèle à la paroi latérale 24, formant avec cette paroi un logement 23 apte à recevoir les extrémités 16a des ailettes d'extinction d'arc 16. Le corps 21 peut, à titre d'exemple, présenter une section sensiblement rectangulaire sur toute la hauteur de la paroi 24. La longueur de la nervure latérale 22 permet de recouvrir suffisamment les extrémités 16a pour les isoler électriquement des contacts mobiles 12, des contacts fixes et du pont de contacts mobiles 11, lors de l'apparition d'un arc électrique.In order to meet these three requirements, the invention provides a device in which the
Des ergots 26, moulé avec chaque paroi latérale 24 vers l'intérieur du boîtier de coupure 20, sont destinés à guider et à maintenir latéralement chaque ensemble d'ailettes 17 en prenant appui sur la face arrière 15a de la pièce d'assemblage 15 des ailettes 16. Ainsi, grâce d'une part à ces ergots 26 et d'autre part aux moyens de guidage des extrémités 16a des ailettes d'extinction d'arc 16, chaque ensemble d'ailettes peut être inséré rapidement et maintenu dans un boîtier de coupure 20, facilitant ainsi la fabrication des chambres de coupure 19.
Le corps 21 permet en outre de renforcer notablement, sans rajouter d'élément supplémentaire, la rigidité des parois latérales 24 à proximité de la zone où peut se déclencher un arc électrique entre contacts mobiles et contacts fixes, c'est-à-dire là où la pression exercée sur ces parois latérales est la plus forte. On peut ainsi réduire l'épaisseur générale des parois latérales 24 sachant qu'elles sont renforcées dans leurs zones les plus critiques ; il s'en suit une optimisation générale des dimensions pour un appareil interrupteur multipolaire.The
Par ailleurs, les moyens de guidage des extrémités 16a des ailettes d'extinction d'arc 16 servent également à faciliter l'insertion et à assurer le maintien latéral de la cage 10 du pont de contacts mobiles 11 dans le boîtier de coupure 20. Le corps 21 des moyens de guidage comporte en effet une face 21a dans un plan perpendiculaire à la paroi latérale 24, à l'opposé de la nervure 22. Les faces 21a de deux corps 21 situés le long d'une même paroi latérale 24 d'un boîtier de coupure 20 forment avec cette paroi latérale 24 un logement 27 dans lequel la cage 10 peut coulisser suivant l'axe X au moment de son insertion et qui ensuite assure le maintien latéral de cette cage 10 et donc du pont de contacts mobiles 11.Moreover, the means for guiding the
