Definitions

  • the present invention relates primarily to a method of manufacturing a wedge connecting the bimetal and the trigger of a bimetallic electrical safety device for example circuit breaker type, and the actual shim. Said method allows individualized manufacture of each shim, so that the triggered by the bimetallic strip complies with the standards in force without it is necessary to make any subsequent adjustments.
  • the invention relates to also electrical appliances equipped with such holds.
  • circuit breakers circuit breakers, differential switches, thermostats, ...)
  • the description follows is based on the example of circuit breakers.
  • these electrical appliances are equipped with a mechanical adjustment device accessible from outside the housing or a subassembly of the apparatus, and making it possible to position the bimetal in relation to to the trigger so that triggering occurs for a value current above a certain standard threshold based on the nominal value of the operating current of the device, and in a time interval also standardized.
  • the mechanical adjustment means consist for example of a screw or of an eccentric that are manipulated to modify the prestress applied to the bimetal based on test results.
  • the principle is based on the control of the initial prestressing of bimetallic strip, with a view to respond to any current overload in accordance with the standards in force.
  • the invention overcomes this disadvantage, by proposing in the first place a a process that eliminates the need for adjustment by mechanical movement in the product.
  • the originality of the process of the invention lies in the use of a shim which is systematically planned too big, to end up with a time of very fast trigger.
  • Knowledge of the properties of bimetallic material, and in particular its speed of deflection, allows the calculation of the size of the hold to insert in the device, or more generally a length / distance exploitable by the manufacturing process, from the measurement of the tripping time obtained with the standard hold.
  • the correction distance c V f (t o - t d ).
  • the shim is for example machined in a continuous strip whose displacement axial is obtained via a drive system actuated by the computer for successive advances corresponding to the manufacture of a corrected standard gauge block value c.
  • This process can allow the integration of the manufacture of the bimetal in an industrial process of continuous production of electrical devices.
  • the machining of each individual shim is carried out immediately after measuring the trip duration of the device equipped with the hold standard, and the wedge obtained is then directly implanted in said apparatus, preferably via automated means.
  • the results of the measures of the durations of triggering, and on the other hand calculations of the correction distances can be memorized by the calculator, analyzed statistically in order to build and memorize a curve representing the probability density of the lengths of to manufacture independently of the production line of electrical appliances, a set of wedges obeying said curve.
  • prefabricated shims can then be stored, for example by size, and be selected to be implanted into devices in the process of manufacturing according to measurements made with the gauge block.
  • the selection and extraction of each stored hold can be done automated or manual.
  • the invention also relates secondly to the actual wedge, which connects the bimetal at the trigger lock of a modular electrical appliance of the type circuit breaker, and is manufactured individually for each device according to the described above in order to meet triggering standards without require further adjustments.
  • it is characterized in that it is interposed between the bimetal and the trigger of the lock, if the direction of deflection of the bimetallic strip tends to bring it closer to the said lock. It then acts on two surfaces vis-à-vis respectively bimetal and the shutter release.
  • the active surfaces of the hold are therefore two opposite surfaces of the hold.
  • the invention relates to an electrical safety device with bimetallic type circuit breaker, the bimetallic cooperates with a trigger lock adapted to separating a movable contact from a fixed contact during a current overload, said apparatus being provided with one of the aforementioned wedges.
  • the adjustment time gets economic added value which is further improved by the removal of the adjustment device and that of the flexible support of the bimetallic strip and the spring is associated with it. No need for adjustment from outside the housing makes said flexible support and its spring unnecessary, and the use of a rigid material for the support participates in this additional saving.
  • circuit breaker With reference to FIG. 1, the portion of circuit breaker that is shown has a bimetallic strip (1) cooperating with the trigger (2) of a lock mechanical via a wedge (3) according to the present invention.
  • Said magnetic lock connected to a manual control member (6), can also be triggered by a magnetic trigger assembly which is activated in particular in case short circuit. All these elements, which are not directly the object of the invention are not described in the context of this text.
  • the direction of deflection of the bimetallic strip (1) is shown by the arrow (F), and the active surfaces (4, 5) of the shim (3) are opposite, because the system acts by pushing the trigger (2).
  • the effort developed by the end of the bimetallic strip (1) is applied against the surface (5), then echoed to the trigger (2) via the opposite surface (4).
  • the distance separating the active surfaces (4 and 5) is variable, and calculated individually for each circuit breaker, according to the present invention.
  • Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a variant of wedge shape (3), which obeys however, with the same philosophy as in Figure 1, that is to say that the active surfaces (4 and 5) are opposed, since it is a system that acts also by pushing the trigger (2).
  • Fork configuration particularly visible in Figure 3, allows the implantation of the piece in good conditions for assembly, which can be automated if necessary.
  • One of the arms the fork has a slight concavity (7) intended to allow a clipping the wedge (3) in contact with the periphery of a spring (8).
  • the configuration is in the trigger (2).
  • the wedge (3 ') is substantially U-shaped, and the active surfaces (4 ') and (5') are this time vis-à-vis, and act from outside respectively of the bimetal (1) and (2) of the trigger (2).
  • the distance separating the active surfaces (4 ') and (5') is variable, and calculated individually for each circuit breaker.
  • the shims are continuously produced according to a process shown diagrammatically in FIG.
  • the raw material is for example constituted of a winding of a band (B) a material suitable for making shims, said continuous band (B) being driven and guided to a punching stage where individualization takes place of each hold.
  • the strip (B) is driven via a guide stage (9) towards a punching stage (10) having a punch of form required for the manufacture of individual shims.
  • a punching stage (10) having a punch of form required for the manufacture of individual shims. It should be noted that the hold could equally well be obtained by any other method of machining (milling, laser cutting or water jet).
  • FIG. 6 illustrates well the difference of shapes obtained for cables in function of the difference in length traveled by the band between two successive punching.
  • phase 1 a first cut is made by the punch.
  • the shape of the hold corresponds to that used in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the end fork is embellished with a lateral arm (11) realizing the connection with the free end of the strip (B) not yet machined.
  • said strip (B) is driven by a length I 1 causing cutting in said lateral arm (11) substantially at the fork, that is to say that said arm (11) is almost totally amputated.
  • the computer may also instruct the band to move the band a distance I 2 slightly greater than the previous one, so that almost all of the lateral arm (11) is retained. This is illustrated in phase 2 'of figure 6.
