Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a series of improvements introduced in the fuse-holder bases with single phase, three-phase or under-load disconnection, in which the fusible cartridge employed is of the type "NH", the improvements affecting both the cover and the handle associated with said cover, and which as a whole form the fuse-holder base mounted in an appropriate casing.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a fuse-holder base which incorporates a series of improvements with respect to the traditional bases, which not only provide greater safety for the operatives in charge of making the connections and disconnections, but also offer high versatility and efficacy in their operation and even a remarkable facility and simplicity in the respective manipulations to carried out for connecting/disconnecting and for the assembly/disassembly of the elements (fuses or other pieces) which it is sometimes necessary to change or to replace.
  • Fuse-holder bases generally comprise a socket which is connected to the respective conductor bars, which socket is related with a casing on which are mounted the actual fuse-holder covers, in which the cartridges or fuses are obviously secured and retained.
  • Said covers can occupy an operating or closed position in which the connection is established, or a non-operating or open position which corresponds to that of fuse disconnection. In the non-operating position, the replacement of deteriorated fuses can be carried out, as well as the assembly/disassembly, both of the latter and of other pieces which could be damaged and exchange or substitution thereof is required.
  • each fuse comes mounted in its own fuse-holder cover, it being possible to carry out the opening in an individual way (single-phase opening) or the three covers at the same time (three-phase opening).
  • each one of the fuse-holder covers has an individual handle, so that to carry out three-phase openings, that is the three fuses at the same time, elements and/or mechanisms are used which connect the three individual handles to each other, or else a single element by means of which the simultaneous opening of the three covers is carried out.
  • Fuse-holder bases of the referenced type are described in the documents corresponding to the European Patents 0508291: 1045414; as well as in the German Patents 4307495 and 4435828.
  • the improvements of the invention affect the fuse-holder covers and the corresponding handles, being conceived to obtain fuse-holder bases which are more versatile, simple and easy to manipulate.
  • fuse-holder cover is incorporated in such a way that it admits the assembly or incorporation indistinctly of a fixed handle, of a concealed handle or even a system of three-phase disconnection.
  • the cover mentioned also incorporates means of mounting and securing the fuse which are accessible from the exterior of the cover thereby facilitating the assembly and disassembly operations of the fuses.
  • the fixed handle and the concealed handle are constituted by a U-shaped profile, by way of a bridge the side arms of which are mounted on the cover by sliding in some rebates foreseen in the sides of the aforementioned cover, the side arms of the handles having a free edge which is finished off in an oblique fold toward the interior and of spherical surface.
  • This spherical surface is complementary with another spherical surface foreseen in the lower part of the side rebates of the cover, in such a way that the handle can rotate on the surfaces which causes a flange foreseen in one of its side edges to lodge in a channel foreseen in one of the internal edges of the rebates on the sides of the cover. In this way it is achieved that the union between the handle and the cover to be an union which through its form allows the sudden forces in short-circuit closing operations to be better withstood.
  • the fixed handle also has on its side arms some internal pawls which are located in some notches foreseen on the front part of the cover, in correspondence with the corners which form the side rebates for assembly of the handle, in such a way that the union of the pawls on the notches render impossible the disassembling of the fixed handle.
  • the concealable handle is free of the interlocking pawls foreseen on the fixed handle in order to allow the sliding toward the front and toward the back of the actual handle, for the purpose that the latter can occupy the frontward operating or salient position and the backward retracted or concealed position which corresponds to the non-operating position.
  • the referenced concealed handle has on the edges of its sides a pair of intermediate notches and another pair of notches in ramp form in the proximity of the transversal branch of the handle, so that the first pair of notches is foreseen to block the handle in operating position, when the edges engage in them of individual sliding blocking pieces mounted in some front recesses of the cover, these blocking pieces being pushed outward by a species of spring in order to engage in the referenced notches, in such way that a manual displacement of such blocking pieces toward the interior allows these to be released from the referenced notches, making possible the sliding of the handle in order to occupy the non-operating position.
  • the referenced cover has on its front part a hand-operated sliding piece, which has a rear leg folded back on itself, determining a web by way of a spring which allows through deformation and elasticity the passage of a laminar portion or lug pertaining to the fuse, so that the latter will be retained on the cover by means of the blocking action exercised by the referenced leg of the front sliding piece, once such leg has been surpassed by the lug of the fuse, all this in a manner such that to release the fuse it will be sufficient to displace the sliding piece laterally, causing the leg to be displaced with respect to the lug and cease to constitute an obstacle for the latter, allowing the extraction of the fuse with respect to the cover.
  • Another characteristic of innovation or improvement of the invention consists of some means which interconnect two bases each carrying a fuse in parallel, which means are constituted by a pair of threaded pins which pass through respective facing holes foreseen for this end in the contiguous sides of the handles corresponding to the two covers, these being blocked by means of respective nuts threaded on both ends of said pins, said means being supplemented with respective spacer sleeves mounted on the pins and inserted between the two contiguous sides of the two referenced handles.
  • Another improvement of the invention consists of the form of manipulating the three fuse-holder bases to perform the simultaneous disconnecting of the three phases, consisting in that the three covers are connected in a pivoting manner to two common side bars, joined transversally by means of a pair of handles.
  • the pivoting assembly of the bars to the cover is made by means of some nipples with cotter foreseen in the bars, which are housed in respective cylindrical necks foreseen in the respective covers, all this in such a manner that these can pivot with respect to the bars to perform the disconnection and/or connection, although their detaching with respect to the bars is impeded by virtue of the cotter means incorporated in the nipples and necks in which they are housed.
  • Another characteristic of innovation consists of a means of blocking the covers, both in their open or disconnection position and in their closed or connection position.
  • Said means is constituted by a transversal bridge foreseen on the intermediate cover, which bridge has a configuration like that of the concealable handle but with three front lugs in which have been made an equal number of holes for the hooking of respective padlocks, which allows that up to three different operatives can work on the tripolar base and to guarantee that not until each one has opened his/her padlock, will it be possible for the tripolar base to change its operating position accidentally, avoiding accidents which could arise.
  • transversal and intermediate plate has been foreseen between the bars, which plate is also provided with some also transversal ribs provided with holes which, in the closed position, are facing the lugs of the bridge constituting the intermediate concealable handle, to allow the passage of the padlocks and to block the covers with respect to the bars in the closed position, whilst in the open position the blocking will be achieved by means of the unfolding of said concealable handle, the lugs of the latter being introduced in some oblique holes foreseen on the transversal and intermediate plate, and subsequently the padlocks in the holes of the lugs, the assembly being in this way immobilized and blocked in the open or disconnection position, as it is not possible to conceal the referenced handle.
  • the fuse-holder base in which the improvements of the invention are applicable, comprises a cover (1) and a handle (2), which can be fixed, the latter pertaining to the actual reference (2), or being a concealable handle, with reference (2').
  • the cover (1) constitutes the means of assembly and securing the corresponding fuse (3), the retention and/or release of such fuse (3) being achieved through a piece (4) mounted on the front of the cover (1), capable of lateral displacement so that by its manipulation from the external part of the cover (1) the release and therefore the disassembly of the corresponding fuse (3) can be carried out, as will be explained below.
  • That cover (1) has in the corners corresponding to the front part a pair of notches (5), whilst in proximity thereto and in correspondence with the actual front part it includes a pair of rectangular recesses (6), in transversal direction and open toward the sides, the latter having corresponding side rebates (7), which include a channel (7') in correspondence with one of the edges that limit each rebate (7).
  • the cover (1) also has some cylindrical necks (8) the function of which will be explained below, situated in correspondence with one of the ends of its sides.
  • the handle (2) which is mounted in a fixed way on the corresponding cover (1), has a U-shape and is mounted in bridge form on the cover (1), the side arms (10) of said cover (2) each having internal pawls (11), whilst below, that is, in correspondence with the free edges of its side arms (10) they have a fold (12) projected toward the interior and in an oblique way, determining a curved plane which is complementary to an also curved surface edge (13) foreseen in the rear part of the side rebates (7) of the cover (1), all this in such a way that the handle (2) is mounted by sliding its side arms (10) over the sides of the cover (1), specifically in correspondence with the rebates (7) of these, until the internal lower fold (12) surpasses the curved and bevelled edge (13) of such rebates (7), at the same time as the pawls (11) determine a means of interlocking when coming to abut upon the front of the cover (1), that is to say the blocking of the handle (2) is achieved in its
  • respective flanges (14) are housed foreseen on one of the edges of the sides (10) of the handle (2), and which flanges (14) have a step (15) from which a flange (14') of greater width is determined, all this in a way such that the interlocking and securing of the handle (2) on the cover (1) is determined by the blocking which is carried out partly by the pawls (11), partly by the guidance of the flanges (14) in the channels (7'), as well as the butt which is formed by the step (15) of those flanges (14-14') and, of course, the hooking action which is implemented by the lower folded edge (12) of the side webs (10) of the aforementioned handle (2), all this as is seen clearly in figure 2, wherein the pawls (11) are engaged in the notches (5) of the actual cover (1).
  • the handle (2') can be mounted on the corresponding cover (1) in a concealable way, in which case said handle (2') has the already mentioned side webs (10), with the edge turned toward the interior (12), being in this case without the blocking pawls (5), having likewise the flanges (14), the step (15) and the flanges (14'), of greater width than the previous ones.
  • the side webs (10) of the handle (2') have at an approximately intermediate height a pair of notches (16), and another pair of notches in ramp form (17), all this so that in the operating position for said concealable handle (2'), the edge folded toward the interior (12) is locked on the spherical edge (13) of the cover (1), whilst in the side notches (16) the external edges are locked corresponding to the pieces (9) located in the recesses (6) of the cover (1), those pieces (9) having an elastic and internal element by way of a spring which constantly pushes outward in its position on the corresponding recess (6), allowing the lodging of the external edge of the pieces (9) in the aforementioned notches (16), to achieve in this way the blocking of the handle (2') in the operating position.
  • the fuse-holder base described can be foreseen for the individual disconnection of each of the phases which intervene in an assembly, wherein logically there are three fuse-holder bases, or they can be foreseen for the simultaneous disconnection of the three phases, or what is the same thing the opening of the three fuses in a simultaneous way, so that for this last case it has been foreseen that the three bases (1), as is represented in figure 8, are mounted in a pivoting way on a pair of side bars (26) defining a common framework for the three covers (1), each one being able to pivot independently of the others or in a simultaneous way, those covers being mounted for the lodging in their cylindrical necks (8) of respective nipples (27), with a cotter (28), foreseen for this purpose in the actual bars (26), so that the nipples (27) with their cotters (28) are complementary to the holes (8) allowing the assembly of each of the covers (1) between the bars (26) with the possibility of the former pivoting, but the det
  • the intermediate cover (1) has a handle (30) of analogous characteristics to the handles (2) and (2') already mentioned, with the particularity that said handle (30) is concealable but provided on its front with three lugs (31), in which can be introduced a like number of padlocks (32) which allow up to three different operatives to be able to work in the tripolar base and to guarantee that until each one has not removed his padlock the tripolar base cannot change its operating position accidentally.
  • transversal plate (33) has also been foreseen in the intermediate area, said plate being provided with some transversal ribs (34) with holes (35) which face the holes foreseen in the lugs (31) of the concealable handle (30), so that the padlocks (32) can pass through those holes and through those of the lugs, immobilizing the bars (26) with respect to the covers (1), impeding the opening of these, as is represented in figure 8 and in the enlarged detail corresponding to figure 9.
  • the open position can also be blocked or immobilized, for which when the framework which forms the bars (26) is pulled, making the covers (1) pivot and therefore performing the opening or disconnection, it will suffice that the handle (30) which in the previous position was concealed, be extracted, resulting in that the lugs (31) are introduced in the openings (36) established for this purpose in the plate (33), in order to carry out the hooking of the padlocks (32), as is represented in figure 10, the handle (30) remaining without its concealment being possible and therefore maintaining the open position of the covers (1).
