Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mechanism for operating a high cut-off device voltage, in particular of a circuit breaker, of the type comprising an energy accumulator potential elastic, a drive shaft intended to drive at least one contact mobile circuit breaker via kinematic transmission, and a flexible link traction, of the traction chain or cable type, having two ends, one connected to the energy accumulator, and the other to the transmission shaft, the flexible link passing through a intermediate return pulley.
  • Document EP 238 847 describes a mechanism of this type.
  • the closing and resetting the mechanism requires a full revolution of the drive shaft.
  • the device combines two elastic energy accumulators each comprising a spring connected to the transmission shaft via a chain. For each accumulator, the tree passes through a top dead center position, in which the torque exerted by the chain the accumulator on the shaft is zero and the spring is stretched to the maximum.
  • a lock keeps the drive shaft in an armed position, close to these top dead centers. For reduce the forces exerted on the lock by the drive shaft in the armed position, the two top dead center positions are offset and the armed position is between the of them.
  • the invention aims to provide a mechanism of the above type, which allows a very fast actuation of high voltage electrical switchgear having a high electrical power, therefore a significant mobile mass. More precisely, the invention aims to increase the acceleration of the mechanism at the start of closing, without increase the stresses on the lock ensuring the mechanism is kept in position army, and without increasing the power of the springs driving the mechanism.
  • the auxiliary starting device used to drive only the drive shaft to the start of drive position. This allows you to choose an armed position very close to the top dead center position, in an angular sector called friction where the energy accumulator is not yet driving force that the force transmitted by the flexible link to the crank has a strong component radial which generates friction at the level of the bearings of the shaft, and a weak orthoradial motor component, which does not compensate for this friction.
  • the armed position being located after top dead center, the angle of rotation to the start position drive is low.
  • the mechanism leaves the angular sector of friction of the accumulator.
  • the accumulator becomes an engine even before the drive shaft has not reached its position of start of training.
  • the distance to travel with just one job engine of the starting device is therefore weak and is traversed very quickly.
  • the transmission shaft exerts on the switching shaft a significant couple.
  • the force exerted on the closing bolt by the shaft of transmission is perfectly calibrated, since determined mainly by the torque exerted by the starting device. This effort is weak, on the one hand because the energy accumulator is not motor in the armed position, and on the other hand because the starting device does not have to provide a significant torque to drive the shaft transmission from its loaded position to its start training position.
  • the starting device applies an engine torque to the drive shaft when the drive shaft is between a position of start of care, located between bottom dead center and top dead center, in the direction of work, and an end of care position, located between the armed position and the position from bottom dead center, in the working direction.
  • the passage from top dead center is then facilitated by the starting device and is carried out with controlled energy.
  • the end of care position is located between the armed position and the position of start of training, in the direction of work.
  • the starting device becomes useless as soon as the mechanism has reached a position far enough from the top dead center position, in which the accumulator becomes a motor. This position is reached before the start of the drive of the switching shaft.
  • the transmission shaft is capable of transmitting to the starting device motive energy, when the drive shaft moves from a winding position to the position of start of taking over, in the working direction, the reassembly position being located between the end of training position and the start of care position, in the direction of work.
  • the end of training position is located between the start position and the bottom dead center position.
  • the reassembly position is located between the bottom neutral position and the start of takeover position.
  • the reassembly of the starting device is performed by a manual or motorized device also used for reassembling the accumulator.
  • the armed position is sufficiently close to the neutral position high so that when the drive shaft is in the armed position, the accumulator of energy exerts on the drive shaft a motor torque zero or less than the torque exerted by the starting device on the drive shaft.
  • the starting device comprises a member movable actuation between a loaded position and an unloaded position and connected to a starting spring, the starting spring delivering kinetic driving energy when the actuating member moves from its loaded position to its unloaded position, and accumulating elastic potential energy when the actuator moves from its unloaded position to its loaded position, said actuating member cooperating with a complementary member secured to the transmission shaft.
  • the organ actuator is a pivoting lever relative to the chassis.
  • the actuating member comprises a cam, the complementary member being a roller supported by the crankshaft of the drive shaft. The reverse layout is also possible.
  • a mechanism for operating an electrical apparatus high voltage shutdown is mainly composed of an energy accumulator closure 10, an arming subset 12 and a switching shaft 14, connected between them by means of a transmission shaft 16 and supported by a chassis 18.
  • the switching shaft 14 is intended to be kinematically connected to one or more movable contact members of the switchgear, so as to drive them reversibly from an open position to a closed position.
  • the chassis 18 comprises two parallel main plates 20, 22, fixed to each other by spacers 24. Some elements of the mechanism are located between the plates 20, 22 of so that to visualize them, it was necessary to represent the dashed plate 20 on the view in FIG. 1 and to show the dashed plate 22 in the same way in FIG. 2. An intermediate plate 23 is held by spacers between the plates 20 and 22.
  • the transmission shaft 16 and the switching shaft 14 are pivotally mounted on guide bearings (not shown) fixed to the plates 20, 22 of the chassis 18, so that their axes of rotation are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the planes of plates 20, 22 and 23.
  • the energy accumulator 10, shown in section in FIG. 3, comprises two pairs of accumulation springs 26 with flanges, retained by a stiffening structure 28.
  • This structure is composed of a first end plate 30 and a second plate end 32, connected to each other by means of a guide link telescopic.
  • the telescopic link is formed by two parallel guides, comprising each a rod 34 integral with the first end plate 30, and sliding in a tube 36 secured to the second end 32.
  • Each tube is provided with a bottom 38 pierced an axial guide hole allowing the free translation of the corresponding rod 34.
  • a stop 42 consisting of a washer of elastomer material surmounted by a washer metal, rests on this bottom 38.
  • each rod 34 is inserted into the tube 36 corresponding and provided with a nut 44 forming a shoulder capable of coming in contact with the corresponding stop 42.
  • the telescopic connection obtained allows translational movement of the first end plate 30 relative to the second end plate 28, along a geometric axis of translation parallel to the rods 34. This movement is limited in the direction of the distance by the meeting of the shoulder constituted by the nut 44, with the elastomer end stop 42.
  • the coil springs 26 are supported by their ends on the end plates 30, 32 and are mounted coaxially outside of each of the two parallel guides.
  • the springs 26 are compression springs, that is to say springs which increase their potential energy when compressed and which provide work during their extension.
  • the energy accumulator 10 is dimensioned in such a way that when the nuts 44 are in contact with the end stops 42, the springs 26 are completely relaxed and just in contact with the two end plates 30, 32. This state of the energy accumulator 10 will be said hereinafter discharged state.
  • Two identical windows 50 of generally rectangular shape, more particularly visible in FIGS. 4 and 7, are formed in the plates of the chassis 20, 22 and arranged opposite one from the other.
  • Each rectangular window 50 defines two large lateral sides 52 and two small horizontal sides 54, 56, one lower (54), the other upper (56).
  • staves 58 are arranged side by side along the short upper side of each window.
  • the four spans 58 together define a geometric support plane for the second end plate 32 of the energy accumulator 10, this plane being perpendicular to the plates 20, 22 of the chassis.
  • the end plates 30, 32 of the energy accumulator are provided with ribs of positioning 60, cooperating with the windowsills, so as to produce a guiding the two end plates 30, 32, allowing their translation along an axis geometric perpendicular to the geometric support plane defined by the spans 58.
  • the rods 34 remain substantially perpendicular to the geometric plane support, whatever the movement of the energy accumulator 10 in the windows 50.
  • Guidance is ensured with a play of a few millimeters.
  • the long sides 52 of the two windows 50 are provided with two mounting grooves 62, allowing lateral insertion of the sub-assembly formed by the energy accumulator 10 during assembly of the mechanism.
  • the movement of the first end plate 30 is limited by four studs 64 in elastomeric material, which together define a geometric plane of contact with the plate 30. These studs 64 form end-of-travel stops for the first plate end 30.
  • the studs 64 are screwed into nuts 66 welded to the edge of the small lower sides 54 of windows 50, and stopped by locknuts 68.
  • the accumulator 10 is assembled as a sub-assembly outside the chassis, under the shape shown in Figure 3.
  • the distance between the upper grooves 62 and lower windows corresponds to the distance between the two end plates 30, 32 of the stiffening structure 28 of the accumulator 10 in its discharged state.
  • the studs 64 are screwed in fully, which has the effect of lowering the contact plane previously mentioned, below the level of the lower groove 62. It is then possible to insert the accumulator 10 laterally at the through windows 50. Once the accumulator 10 is inserted, the pads 64 are partially unscrewed, so as to gradually raise the accumulator until the plate upper 32 is in contact with the surfaces 58 and the lower plate 30 is in contact studs 64, the accumulator 10 remaining in its discharged state. Finally, the locknuts 68 are positioned so as to block the studs 64 in position.
  • the distance between the geometric support plane defined by the spans 58 on the one hand, and the plane geometric contact defined by the pads 64 on the other hand, is substantially equal to the distance between the first plate 30 and the second plate 32 when the accumulator is in its discharged state.
  • the first end plate 30 projects through the windows 50 on either side of the space delimited by the plates 20, 22 of the chassis 18.

  • the two flat cheeks support an eccentric pin 76, part of which is located in the throat.
  • a flexible kinematic connection between the energy accumulator 10 and the shaft of transmission 16 is established by means of two identical traction chains 80, which are located on either side of the space delimited by the two plates 20, 22 of the chassis.

  • the other end of the chain 80 is provided with a double eyelet 84, which is inserted into the pair of through oblong holes and stopped by a pin 86.
  • the chain 80 passes through an intermediate pulley 90, mounted idly on a supported axis 92 by the chassis 18.
  • Part 94 of the chain, stretched between the pulley and the first plate end, is parallel to the axis of translation of the first plate 30, therefore parallel to the times to the geometric axis defined by the telescopic guide link of the structure stiffening 28 of the energy accumulator 10 and to the guide surfaces formed by the edges of the long sides 52 of the windows 50.
  • Another part 96 of the chain is stretched between the pulley and the axle 76.
  • Each chain 80 works in a plane parallel to the plates 20, 22 of the chassis. It exists two positions of the mechanism in which the geometric plane containing the axis geometric rotation of the drive shaft 16 and the pivot axis 76 of the sleeve 82 becomes tangent to the periphery of the pulley 90 and to the part 96 of the chain.
  • the socket 82 is located between the shaft 16 and the pulley 90, which corresponds to a bottom dead center of the transmission shaft 16, that is to say to a stable equilibrium position.
  • the transmission shaft 16 is between the bush 82 and the pulley 90, which corresponds to a top dead center of the shaft 16, that is to say at an unstable equilibrium position.

  • the central part of one of the axes 76 further constitutes a roller 98 which cooperates with a cam 100 of a starting lever 102.
  • the lever start 102 is supported by a pivot 104 mounted on the chassis 18 and is recalled by a starting spring 106, bandaged between a free end of the lever 102 and a cleat mounted on the chassis.
  • This sub-assembly constitutes a starting device.
  • the roller 98 Shortly before arriving at top dead center position, for example 1 degree from this position, in a so-called position at the start of treatment, the roller 98 passes the top 108 of the cam 100, so that the starting lever 102, recalled by the starting spring 106, becomes engine by relative to the roller 98. The starting lever 102 remains engine until the roller 98 loses contact with the cam 100, approximately 5 degrees after the top dead center position, in a so-called end of care position.

  • the cam 160 Before reaching the bottom dead center position, 165 ° from the top dead center, the cam 160 loses contact with the roller 162, which uncouples the shaft switch 14 of the drive shaft 16. In the subsequent rearming phase, the drive cam 160 is no longer in contact with the roller 162, and the movement of the shaft transmission 16 is independent of that of the switching shaft 14.
  • the cam reset command 160 starts to toggle lever 206 in a position actuating the electrical contact 208.
  • the latter closes a supply circuit for the motors 148, 150, which start to drive the reduction trains 152.
  • the lever motorized pumping 122 performs oscillations but the pawl 116 does not hook with the ratchet wheel 110 as long as the angular speed of wheel 110 is greater than the speed angle of the pump lever 122.
  • the gearmotor can reach gradually its operating regime before starting to train the shaft of transmission 16 in a later phase described later.
  • the first plate end 30 reaches a transient position relative to the chassis 18, called position discharged, corresponding to the discharged state of the accumulator 10.
  • the nuts 44 of the rods 34 of the accumulator 10 reach the end of travel stops 42. In this position transient, the second end plate 32 is still in contact with the surfaces 58 then that the first end plate 30 is just in contact with the studs 64, so that the limit switches 44 assume only the shock absorption.
  • the first plate 30 When the springs 26 relax, the first plate 30 has acquired kinetic energy important. As soon as the nuts 44 come into contact with the limit stops 42, the second plate 32 forms with the first a rigid assembly, and this assembly tends to take off from its support on the spans 58 and to move en bloc on the momentum of the first plate 30. This energy is sufficient to cause an elongation of the 80 chains by elastic deformation. The first end plate 30 then sinks in the pads 64 which compress. Under the effect of these joint requests, the plate end 30 decelerates strongly until its speed is canceled.
  • the transmission shaft 16 tends to continue its course beyond the bottom dead center and initiates a rearming movement by stretching a little more chains 80.
  • the studs 64 tend to want to regain their original shape and to push back the end plate 30, thus restoring part of the energy they have stored.
  • the chains 80 tend to regain their original size. Its effects add up to immediately propel the end plate 30 into the direction of rearmament.
  • the contact between the plate 30 and the studs 64 only gives rise to a rebound.
  • this phase is very rapid and that the deformations described are of very small amplitude.
  • the amplitude of the overtravel of the first end plate 30, which corresponds to the insertion of the studs 64 and approximately when the second plate comes off 32 is of the order of ten millimeters.
  • the transmission shaft 16 Under the effect of the kinetic energy of the transmission shaft 16 and the masses in movement which are integral with it, the transmission shaft 16 performs nearly a third of the reset stroke by decelerating gradually until the ratchet wheel 110 causes the transmission shaft to be coupled to the gearmotor. In this phase, the transmission shaft 16 plays the role of a flywheel. The mechanism therefore makes it possible to recover in this phase a significant part of the energy available in the mechanism when passing through bottom dead center, resulting in considerable time savings in the phase subsequent reset of the accumulator 10, which will now be described.
  • the motorized pumping lever 122 then takes loads the ratchet wheel 110 and makes it travel an angular sector corresponding to 3.5 teeth at each of its half-motor oscillations. During each half-oscillation no drive, when the cam 142 releases the motorized pumping lever 122 and the spring 154 recalls lever 122 to its end position counterclockwise of a watch in FIG. 5, the ratchet wheel 110 rests on one or the other of the four pawls 112, 113, 114, 115.
  • the transmission shaft 16 ensures the transmission to the accumulator 10 of the mechanical energy produced by the motors 148, 150. The compression of the springs 26 of the accumulator 10 continues until the shaft of transmission 16 reaches its top dead center.
  • the roller 98 of the crank 72 meets the starting lever 102 and drives the latter towards a position by tensioning the starting spring 106.
  • the roller 98 passes the top 108 of the cam 100 of the lever starting 102, so that the starting lever 102 becomes engine.
  • the pawl 116 of the motorized pumping lever 122 is found opposite the angular sector without teeth 158 of the ratchet wheel 110, while the control cam reset 204 releases contact 208 which opens the motor supply circuit 148, 150. Even if the stopping of electric motors is not instantaneous, the absence of teeth ensures decoupling between the motorized pumping lever 122 and the drive shaft 16.
  • the transmission shaft 16 passes the top dead center under the stress of the starting 102, until the roller 194 of the drive cam 160 comes into contact with closing latch 196.
  • the latch is pressed clockwise, but blocked in the position of FIG. 6 by the half-moon 242 of the closing control lock 200.
  • the transmission shaft 16 then comes to a standstill in the armed position.
  • the subset of control is then in the armed, closed state, represented in FIG. 6.
  • the switching shaft 14 its subsequent movement, from the position closed, is dictated by the opening spring 170 and by the opening latch 184.
  • the switching shaft 14 then passes from the closed position to the open position under the action of the spring of the energy accumulator opening 170 which discharges, without the roller 162 meeting the drive cam 160. Arrived in the open position, the switching shaft 14 is stopped by stops of limit switch (not shown), and the roller 162 comes into contact with the cam, if the latter has completed its rearmament.
  • the electrical equipment concerned can be of any type, in particular a high circuit breaker voltage or a high voltage switch.
  • the target area of tension includes as well medium voltage than very high voltage.
  • the gearmotor can only be driven by a single electric motor.
  • the mechanism may include only one traction chain.
  • the chain (s) can be replaced by any type of flexible link allowing a tensile stress, by example a strap or cable. Naturally, it would be better to choose a flexible link having some elasticity. In practice, the elasticity of articulated traction chains conventional is sufficient to allow an extension of the chain when passing through the bottom dead center.
  • the armed position can be located slightly before or slightly after the position of top dead center, in the angular friction sector where the traction chains do not cannot have a driving action on the drive shaft.
  • the energy storage springs can be tension springs rather than compression springs, if the overall dimensions allow it.
  • the springs 26 may still be slightly tablets, which limits their movement when subjected to impact from passing through the bottom dead center.
  • the discharged state is always the state in which the springs 26 cannot no longer supply energy to plate 30, and corresponds to the position where the nuts 44 meet the stops 42.
  • the intermittent transmission members that constitute the pump levers 118 and 122 can be replaced by continuous transmission means. Couplings freewheeling can be achieved by other means than by a ratchet 110 and pawls 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, for example with balls or rollers coupling intermediaries between two cylindrical surfaces.
  • the starting sub-assembly can be of any type allowing a force to be applied to the tree on part of its stroke, close to the armed position. he can for example, a device with a mobile drawer in translation. This subset does not act not necessarily on crank 72, because any element integral with the shaft can also suit. It is possible to provide that the winding of the starting spring is not performed through the drive shaft, but for example directly through the gearmotor.
  • the number of intermediate locks between the closing lock and the corresponding relay on the one hand, and the opening lock and the corresponding relay on the other hand, is selected by function of the reduction in effort required.
