Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control mechanism of a multipole electrical switch of the output shaft type carrying or actuating contacts and capable of being selectively brought into three stable positions, an open position, a closed position of the switch and an earthing position, said main shaft being rotated by indexing means cooperating with firstly a first device for closing and opening the switch and secondly for a second device for controlling the grounding.
- Tumbler mechanism is an energy storage system that uses a compression spring whose energy is suddenly released when said previously compressed spring exceeds a point of equilibrium during the maneuver.
- the energy released by the spring is transmitted to the output shaft to cause its rotation, the actuation of the opening and closing device of the switch or the grounding device serving only to compress the spring that stores the energy required for the sudden rotation of the output shaft.
- This type of mechanism has the disadvantage of including a large number of parts, which, in addition to reliability problems, strike the assembly time and, therefore, the manufacturing costs of these mechanisms.
- Controlling mechanisms are also known for a multipolar switch comprising a single control device cooperating with a single accumulator spring in order to occupy three distinct stable positions, a first closed position, a second open position and a closed position. third grounding position; this is the case, for example, French patent FR 2,500,222 .
- the mechanism described in this document which according to the preamble of claim 1, comprises a unique accumulator spring able to actuate the switch in one of three positions.
- the opening and closing control axis coincides with the shaft of the operating cam of the drive lever of the moving equipment.
- the lever for actuating the toggle joint is arranged between the shaft of the operating cam and the control shaft of the grounding crank.
- This mechanism does not meet the standards in force which impose two separate control devices, a closing and opening control device and an earthing control device.
- the FR 2,651,603 discloses a control mechanism of a similar multipolar switch having two control devices called control cranks, a closing and opening control crank on the one hand and a ground control crank on the other hand, cooperating with a single accumulator spring.
- the mechanism comprises a toggle energy accumulator device composed of a crank arm articulated by an axis to a telescopic guide for supporting a compression spring, a first control crank mounted on an arming shaft, and coupled by a transmission rod to a second control crank, which is keyed on an actuating shaft of the switch, and control means of the arming crank to cause the crossing of neutral position of the toggle during the passage of the mechanism from the closed position to the open position, and vice versa.
- the arming crank is mounted idle on a cocking shaft cooperating with drive cleats of the first control crank.
- the telescopic spring guide is supported on a crank pin located on the second control crank, for generating during the arming operation of the spring a temporary holding torque of the first and second cranks in their initial state until the breaking of the toggle joint.
- the control means of the arming crank comprises a transmission mechanism controlled either automatically by a geared motor unit or manually by a shaft coupled to an emergency control by a rod. The presence of the temporary holding torque during the cocking of the spring results from the relative positioning of the toggle relative to the second control crank, and avoids the use of additional locks or snaps.
- One of the aims of the invention is therefore to overcome all these disadvantages by providing a compact control mechanism of simple and inexpensive design.
- a control mechanism of a multipole electrical switch of the output shaft type carrying or actuating contacts and capable of being selectively brought into three stable positions, a position of an opening, a switch closing position and a grounding position

Description
La présente invention concerne un mécanisme de commande d'un interrupteur électrique multipolaire du type à arbre de sortie portant ou actionnant des contacts et susceptible d'être sélectivement amené en trois positions stables, une position d'ouverture, une position de fermeture de l'interrupteur et une position de mise à la terre, ledit arbre principal étant entraîné en rotation par des moyens d'indexation coopérant avec d'une part un premier dispositif de commande de fermeture et d'ouverture de l'interrupteur et d'autre part à un deuxième dispositif de commande de la mise à la terre.The present invention relates to a control mechanism of a multipole electrical switch of the output shaft type carrying or actuating contacts and capable of being selectively brought into three stable positions, an open position, a closed position of the switch and an earthing position, said main shaft being rotated by indexing means cooperating with firstly a first device for closing and opening the switch and secondly for a second device for controlling the grounding.
Dans le domaine des mécanismes de commande d'un interrupteur multipolaire à haute tension, on connaît bien des mécanismes comportant deux dispositifs de commande indépendants, un dispositif de fermeture et d'ouverture de l'interrupteur et un autre dispositif de mise à la terre. Chacun de ces dispositifs du genre Tumbler dispose d'un ressort et des systèmes d'inter-verrouillage qui interdisent toute fausse manoeuvre, notamment un actionnement du dispositif de mise à la terre lorsque l'interrupteur est fermé. On entend par mécanisme à Tumbler, un système à accumulation d'énergie qui utilise un ressort de compression dont l'énergie est brusquement libérée lorsque ledit ressort préalablement comprimé dépasse un point d'équilibre au cours de la manoeuvre. Ainsi, l'énergie libérée par le ressort est transmise à l'arbre de sortie pour entraîner sa rotation, l'actionnement du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture de l'interrupteur ou le dispositif de mise à la terre ne servant qu'à comprimer le ressort qui emmagasine l'énergie nécessaire à la brusque rotation de l'arbre de sortie.In the field of control mechanisms of a multipole high voltage switch, there are well known mechanisms comprising two independent control devices, a device for closing and opening the switch and another device for grounding. Each of these Tumbler type devices has a spring and interlock systems that prohibit any false operation, including an actuation of the earthing device when the switch is closed. Tumbler mechanism is an energy storage system that uses a compression spring whose energy is suddenly released when said previously compressed spring exceeds a point of equilibrium during the maneuver. Thus, the energy released by the spring is transmitted to the output shaft to cause its rotation, the actuation of the opening and closing device of the switch or the grounding device serving only to compress the spring that stores the energy required for the sudden rotation of the output shaft.
Ce type de mécanisme présente l'inconvénient de comprendre un grand nombre de pièces, ce qui, outre des problèmes de fiabilité, grève le temps de montage et, de ce fait, les coûts de fabrication de ces mécanismes.This type of mechanism has the disadvantage of including a large number of parts, which, in addition to reliability problems, strike the assembly time and, therefore, the manufacturing costs of these mechanisms.
On connaît, par ailleurs, des mécanismes de commande d'un interrupteur multipolaire comportant un unique dispositif de commande coopérant avec un unique ressort accumulateur afin d'occuper trois positions stables distinctes, une première position de fermeture, une deuxième position d'ouverture et une troisième position de mise à la terre ; c'est le cas, par exemple, du
Ce mécanisme ne répond pas aux normes en vigueur qui imposent deux dispositifs de commande distincts, un dispositif de commande de fermeture et d'ouverture et un dispositif de commande de mise à la terre.This mechanism does not meet the standards in force which impose two separate control devices, a closing and opening control device and an earthing control device.
Afin de remédier à ce problème, le
Bien que ce type de mécanisme comporte moins de pièces que les autres mécanismes de l'art antérieur, il comporte néanmoins un trop grand nombre de pièces dont l'agencement est complexe, ce qui grève son coût de fabrication.Although this type of mechanism has fewer parts than other mechanisms of the prior art, it nevertheless has too many parts whose arrangement is complex, which strike its manufacturing cost.
L'un des buts de l'invention est donc de remédier à tous ces inconvénients en proposant un mécanisme de commande compact de conception simple et peu onéreuse.One of the aims of the invention is therefore to overcome all these disadvantages by providing a compact control mechanism of simple and inexpensive design.
A cet effet, et conformément à l'invention, il est proposé un mécanisme de commande d'un interrupteur électrique multipolaire du type à arbre de sortie portant ou actionnant des contacts et susceptible d'être sélectivement amené en trois positions stables, une position d'ouverture, une position de fermeture de l'interrupteur et une position de mise à la terre, ledit mécanisme étant du type à Tumbler comportant un unique ressort accumulateur d'énergie, deux manivelles de commande, une première manivelle de commande de fermeture et d'ouverture d'une part et une seconde manivelle de commande de mise à la terre d'autre part, et des moyens aptes à entraîner en rotation l'arbre de sortie depuis sa position d'ouverture à sa position de fermeture et inversement lorsque la première manivelle de commande est actionnée et la rotation de l'arbre de sortie jusqu'à sa position de mise à la terre lorsque la seconde manivelle de commande est actionnée, la première manivelle de commande étant alors en position d'ouverture ; ledit mécanisme est remarquable en ce qu'une première extrémité de l'unique ressort accumulateur d'énergie est articulée à un flasque vertical autour d'un axe s'étendant parallèlement à l'arbre de sortie et l'autre extrémité porte un galet cylindrique monté libre en rotation autour d'un axe parallèle à l'arbre de sortie et coopérant d'une part avec des moyens d'indexation aptes à entraîner en rotation l'arbre de sortie et d'autre part avec deux doigts radiaux solidaires des manivelles de commande dont les axes de rotation respectifs s'étendent parallèlement à l'arbre de sortie.For this purpose, and in accordance with the invention, there is provided a control mechanism of a multipole electrical switch of the output shaft type carrying or actuating contacts and capable of being selectively brought into three stable positions, a position of an opening, a switch closing position and a grounding position, said mechanism being of the Tumbler type having a single energy storage spring, two control cranks, a first closing control crank and a opening on the one hand and a second ground control crank on the other hand, and means adapted to rotate the output shaft from its open position to its closed position and vice versa when the first control crank is actuated and the rotation of the output shaft to its grounded position when the second control crank is operated, the first crank of control being then in the open position; said mechanism is remarkable in that a first end of the single energy storage spring is articulated to a vertical flange about an axis extending parallel to the output shaft and the other end carries a cylindrical roller mounted free to rotate about an axis parallel to the output shaft and cooperating on the one hand with indexing means capable of driving into rotation of the output shaft and secondly with two integral radial fingers control cranks whose respective axes of rotation extend parallel to the output shaft.
On comprend bien que, contrairement aux dispositifs de l'art antérieur, une seule extrémité du ressort accumulateur d'énergie est articulée autour d'un axe, l'autre extrémité étant apte à coopérer alternativement avec l'un ou l'autre des dispositifs de commande. Une telle construction permet de limiter le nombre de pièces du mécanisme et, de ce fait, de réduire son coût de fabrication.It is clearly understood that, unlike the devices of the prior art, only one end of the energy storage spring is articulated about an axis, the other end being able to cooperate alternately with one or the other of the devices. control. Such a construction makes it possible to limit the number of parts of the mechanism and, as a result, to reduce its cost of manufacture.
Plus précisément, les moyens d'indexation consistent d'une part en un chemin de came fixe solidaire du flasque du mécanisme sur lequel roule le galet et d'autre part en une pièce plate dite d'indexation, montée libre en rotation autour d'un axe s'étendant parallèlement à l'arbre de sortie, et munie d'un jour dont les bords forment un second chemin de came dit mobile. Ledit chemin de came fixe consiste dans le bord libre supérieur d'une plaque verticale solidarisée au flasque par des entretoises, ledit bord libre présentant une courbe en creux dans sa partie médiane, la concavité étant orientée vers l'arbre de sortie, et, de part et d'autre de ce creux central, respectivement un creux secondaire, présentant une profondeur moindre que la profondeur du creux central, et terminé par une paroi verticale formant une butée, le bord libre étant convexe entre le creux central et les creux secondaires.More precisely, the indexing means consist, on the one hand, of a fixed cam path integral with the flange of the mechanism on which the roller rolls and, on the other hand, of a flat piece known as indexing, mounted free to rotate about an axis extending parallel to the output shaft, and provided with a day whose edges form a second so-called mobile cam path. Said fixed cam path consists in the upper free edge of a vertical plate secured to the flange by spacers, said free edge having a hollow curve in its middle part, the concavity being oriented towards the output shaft, and, on either side of this central hollow, respectively a secondary recess, having a depth less than the depth of the central recess, and terminated by a vertical wall forming a stop, the free edge being convex between the central recess and the secondary recesses.
