On comprend que la solution apportée permet de réduire le coût de l'ensemble interrupteur.It is understood that the solution provided makes it possible to reduce the cost of the switch assembly.

La description va être faite ci-après d'un mode de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention, en regard des dessins annexés.The description will be made below of a non-limiting embodiment of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

La figure 1 représente en vue de côté un ensemble de départ-moteur conforme à l'invention.Figure 1 shows a side view of a motor starter assembly according to the invention.

Les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues en perspective à plus grande échelle de la pièce d'association de l'ensemble de la figure 1, la pièce étant représentée dans deux états permettant le montage de contacteurs de tailles différentes.Figures 2 and 3 are enlarged perspective views of the part of association of the assembly of FIG. 1, the part being represented in two states allowing the mounting of contactors of different sizes.

Les figures 4 à 6 montrent en vue de côté une partie d'un ensemble selon l'invention, avec assemblage à un même disjoncteur de contacteurs de tailles différentes.FIGS. 4 to 6 show a side view of part of an assembly according to the invention, with assembly of contactors of different sizes to the same circuit breaker.

L'ensemble de la figure 1 comprend un disjoncteur 10 et un contacteur 20 assemblés au moyen d'une pièce intermédiaire 30. Le disjoncteur 10 peut être fixé à sa partie arrière à un support tel qu'un rail normalisé par des éléments de fixation 11 et comporte à sa partie avant des boutons marche et arrêt 12. Il présente par ailleurs des bornes de puissance amont (hautes) 13 et aval (basses) 14. Le contacteur 20 présente des faces arrière 21 et avant 22, ainsi que des bornes de puissance amont (hautes) 23 et aval (basses) 24. La pièce intermédiaire 30 est de forme relativement plate et comprend un corps isolant 31, ainsi que des conducteurs solidarisés avec le corps et reliés par des broches hautes 33 aux bornes basses 14 du disjoncteur et par des broches basses 34 aux bornes hautes 23 du contacteur. Les broches représentées sont fixes, mais elles pourraient être réglables pour s'adapter à des pas interbornes variables. The assembly of FIG. 1 comprises a circuit breaker 10 and a contactor 20 assembled by means of an intermediate piece 30. The circuit breaker 10 can be fixed to its rear part to a support such as a rail standardized by fastening elements 11 and has at its front part on and off buttons 12. It also has upstream (high) 13 and downstream (low) power terminals 14. Contactor 20 has rear faces 21 and front 22, as well as power terminals upstream (high) 23 and downstream (low) 24. The intermediate piece 30 is relatively shaped flat and includes an insulating body 31, as well as integral conductors with the body and connected by high pins 33 to the lower terminals 14 of the circuit breaker and by low pins 34 to the high terminals 23 of the contactor. The pins shown are fixed, but could be adjustable to fit at variable inter-terminal steps.

La pièce 30 est maintenue sur le disjoncteur par des éléments de retenue tels que des talons 32 coopérant avec des évidements 15, par exemple des fentes, prévus dans le boítier du disjoncteur (voir figure 4), ainsi que par le serrage des broches 33 dans les bornes 14. Le contacteur est fixé sous la pièce 30 par un talon 35 prévu à l'arrière d'une pièce 36 encliquetée de manière réglable à l'arrière de la pièce 30, ainsi que par le serrage des broches 34 dans les bornes 23. Le réglage de la position de la pièce 36 permet d'ajuster la position du talon 35 selon la direction X, c'est-à-dire en profondeur.The part 30 is held on the circuit breaker by retaining elements such as heels 32 cooperating with recesses 15, for example slots, provided in the circuit breaker box (see Figure 4), as well as by tightening the pins 33 in terminals 14. The contactor is fixed under the part 30 by a heel 35 provided at the rear of a part 36 which is snapped in an adjustable manner at the rear of the part 30, as well as by tightening pins 34 in terminals 23. Adjusting the position of the part 36 makes it possible to adjust the position of the heel 35 in the direction X, that is to say in depth.

La pièce amovible 36 est en forme d'équerre dotée d'une aile horizontale 37 de maintien dans la pièce 30 et d'une aile verticale 38 de support du contacteur. L'aile horizontale 37 est engagée contre un cran, butée ou appui analogue 36a,36b du corps 31 de la pièce 30 et l'aile verticale de support 38 est munie de deux crans ou autre formes analogues 39,40 sur laquelle doit s'accrocher la partie arrière du boítier du contacteur. La pièce 36 est représentée en position reculée sur la figure 2 et en position avancée sur la figure 3, la butée 36b étant située plus en arrière que la butée 36a. Les deux crans 39,40 permettent le montage de nervures 25 ou autres formes du contacteur situées à une hauteur variable en fonction du type du contacteur par rapport à sa face haute 26 ; cette face haute 26 est définie par divers éléments de butée et elle est appliquée contre la face basse de la pièce 30. Les crans 39,40 permettent donc d'adapter la pièce d'association à la taille du contacteur selon la direction Z, c'est-à-dire en hauteur.The removable part 36 is square-shaped with a horizontal wing 37 of holding in the part 30 and a vertical wing 38 for supporting the contactor. The wing horizontal 37 is engaged against a notch, abutment or similar support 36a, 36b of the body 31 of the part 30 and the vertical support wing 38 is provided with two notches or other similar shapes 39.40 on which must hang the rear part of the case of the contactor. The part 36 is shown in the retracted position in FIG. 2 and in the advanced position in FIG. 3, the stop 36b being located further back than the stop 36a. The two notches 39.40 allow the mounting of ribs 25 or other contactor shapes located at a variable height depending on the type of contactor relative to its high face 26; this high face 26 is defined by various stop elements and it is applied against the lower face of the part 30. The notches 39.40 therefore make it possible to adapt the association part to the size of the contactor in the direction Z, that is to say in height.

On voit sur la figure 4 le montage d'un contacteur de petite taille (en profondeur) par une nervure 25 engagée dans le cran haut 39 ; sur la figure 5 le montage d'un contacteur de grande taille (en profondeur), la pièce 30 étant respectivement en position avancée et reculée. Dans ces deux cas, le contacteur coopère par une nervure 25 avec le cran haut 39 de la pièce 30. Sur la figure 6 est représenté le montage d'un contacteur de grande taille (en hauteur), c'est-à-dire dont la partie avant est plus haute que la partie arrière, sa nervure 25 est alors située plus bas par rapport à sa face haute 26 et est engagée dans le cran bas 40 de la pièce 30.We see in Figure 4 the mounting of a small contactor (deep) by a rib 25 engaged in the top notch 39; in Figure 5 the assembly of a large contactor (deep), part 30 being respectively in forward and backward position. In these two cases, the contactor cooperates by a rib 25 with the high notch 39 of the part 30. In FIG. 6 is shown the mounting of a large contactor (in height), i.e. of which the part front is higher than the rear part, its rib 25 is then located lower relative to its upper face 26 and is engaged in the lower notch 40 of the part 30.

L'invention vise aussi la possibilité de réglage de la position du contacteur relativement au disjoncteur par des crans ou parties réglables associés à la pièce 30 du côté du disjoncteur. D'autre part, les formes mâles ou femelles qui ont été décrites peuvent bien entendu être inversées. Selon les cas, l'adaptation peut être opérée sur la position de la face arrière 21 du contacteur par rapport à celle de la face arrière 16 du disjoncteur, ou de la face avant 22 du contacteur par rapport à la face avant 17 du disjoncteur. Le disjoncteur décrit peut être remplacé par un appareil porte-fusible ou autre appareil de protection analogue.The invention also relates to the possibility of adjusting the position of the contactor relatively to the circuit breaker by adjustable notches or parts associated with part 30 of the side of the circuit breaker. On the other hand, the male or female forms which have been described can of course be reversed. Depending on the case, adaptation can be made on the position of the rear face 21 of the contactor relative to that of the rear face 16 of the circuit breaker, or of the front face 22 of the contactor with respect to the face before 17 of the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker described can be replaced by a device fuse holder or other similar protective device.
