Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reset module for an electrical safety device.
  • Safety devices such as, for example, automatic circuit-breakers, ground fault circuit interrupters, automatic ground fault circuit interrupters fitted in an installation may cause inefficiencies if their action is ill-timed. Tripping is frequent phenomenon, i.e. the ill-timed opening of ground fault interrupters, due to ground leakage currents either resulting from transient surges on the power line (direct or indirect lightning striking) or temporary failure of the insulation.
  • the safety device is not manually closed after it has tripped in a ill-timed manner, thereby severe inefficiency may occur, such as: failure of alarm operation, safety systems, pump systems or switching off of freezers with deterioration of the food contained therein.
  • a known reset module comprises an inner kinematism acting on the manual lever of the safety device and a thermal actuator acting on the kinematism when the safety device has tripped, in order that the kinematism actuates the resetting.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a reset module to be associated with the safety device which offers easiness and safety upon carrying out manual switching (particularly, the opening) of the device.
  • the object of the present invention is achieved by a module such as described in the annexed claim 1. Preferred embodiments of said module are described in the dependent claims 2 to 15.
  • the object of the present invention is also an electrical assembly such as defined in the independent claim 16 having preferred embodiments being defined in claims 17 and 18.
  • Fig. 1 shows the electrical assembly 300, in the assembled configuration, comprising an electrical safety device 100 and a reset module 200.
  • the safety device 100 is of a known type and is any circuit breaker suitable to interrupt or establish a current in a circuit by means of suitable contacts that can be separated from each other. These contacts are maintained close to each other with a suitable force when the safety device is in the closed state and are separated by an insulating distance when the device is in an opened state.
  • the safety device 100 can be one of the following circuit breakers: automatic circuit-breaker, ground fault circuit interrupter, automatic ground fault circuit interrupter (such as a magneto-thermal ground fault interrupter).
  • Fig. 2 an example of safety device 100 is schematically shown comprising an insulating enclosure body 107, the side walls of which are provided with one or more pair of terminals 109 for the connection of the safety device to matching pairs of electrical wires of an external circuit (not shown in the figures).
  • the safety device 100 comprises a drive lever 112 (such as a handle) that can be manually displaced between two different positions (indicated by axes 112' and 112"). Particularly, the drive lever 112 can be rotated about an axis 113 for the manual switching of the safety device from the closed state to the opened state, and vice versa.
  • the insulating body 107 houses electromechanical means (not shown, as know per se) therein, which automatically cause the opening of the safety device 100, with the consequent displacement of the drive lever 112, following the detection of a failure, such as a ground leakage current or a short-circuit.
  • the reset module 200 comprises an insulating enclosure body 201, for example, comprising two portions to be fixed by means of screws that pass through through holes 202.
  • a side of the enclosure 201 is provided with a plurality of terminals 203 for the reset module 200 to be connected to the power line.
  • two input terminals (phase F and neutral N) of the reset module are connected to terminals 109 of the safety device 100.
  • the terminals 203 can be also used to send suitable command signals to the reset module 200, which are transmitted by remote control units, in order to close the safety device 100.
  • the reset module 200 is provided with a rotating bar 204 parallel to the axis of rotation 113 and rear wall of the enclosure 201.
  • a longitudinal channel 205 in which the drive lever 112 of the safety device 100 (Fig. 5) can be inserted.
  • the drive lever 112 are slidable within channel 205 in the same direction as the axis 113, such that the electrical assembly 300 can be mounted and such that the drive lever 112 results integral in the rotation with the bar 204.
  • the bar 204 which can be also seen in Fig. 6 and 7, is integral with a rotating body 234 having a substantially cylindrical shape, which is hinged on a pivot 217, of axis 113, from which a first moving rod 218 extends orthogonal to the axis 113.
  • the reset module 200 comprises automatic actuating means capable of causing the resetting of the device, i.e. causing the same to switch from the opened condition to the closed condition, and optionally causing also the opening thereof.
  • these automatic actuating means include a reversible synchronous electric motor 206 (represented with a dotted line in Fig. 3 and partially seen in Fig. 8), which is coupled to the bar 204 by means of a drive mechanism 207.
  • a disk 208 is connected to the motor 206 such as to be rotated about a further axis 209 parallel to the axis 113.
  • a side wall of the disk 208 is provided with recesses, such as three recesses 210-213 being arranged such as to form 120° angles in the middle of the disk 208.
  • a first microswitch 214 having a leaf spring 215 (or other equivalent elastic means) associated therewith, which ends with an idle wheel 216 that is free to rotate about an axis parallel to the further axis 209.
  • This first microswitch 214 acts as a limit switch and opens thus interrupting the power supply to the motor 206 and, accordingly, the rotation of the disk 209 when the idle wheel 216 is within one of the recesses 210-213.
  • the disk 208 is mechanically coupled with the first rod 218 by means of a plurality of relieves, such as three relieves 219-221 (the reference numbers of these relieves have been designated, for clarity, only in Fig. 4).
  • the relieves 219-221 are suitable to engage the first rod 218, which extends above the disk 208 only when it is in the position corresponding to the opened state of the device 100, thereby causing the bar 204 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the rotation of the disk.
  • the container 201 of the reset module 200 is also provided with a second microswitch 222 (shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8) having a respective leaf spring 223 intended to be biased by a second rod 224 that is integral with the rotating body 234 and such as to extend, in the example illustrated, parallel to the axis 113 in the opposite direction to that of the bar 204.
  • the second microswitch 222 is sensitive to the "tripped" condition of the safety device 100 and allows the activation of the motor 206 and, thus, the resetting of the safety device only after the bar 204 has moved to the opened state condition.
  • the reset module 200 is further equipped with a cover 225 coupled with the enclosure 201 such as to be manually moved relative to the enclosure.
  • the cover 225 is coupled with the respective enclosure by means of guide means allowing the cover to slide (preferably, along an axis orthogonal to axis 113) between a first position 1P and a second position 2P.
  • the cover 225 is aligned with a side wall 226 of the enclosure 201.
  • the bar 204 can be in the "lowered" position corresponding to the open state (such as in the particular case of Fig. 3), or it can be in a "raised” position, corresponding to the closed state of the safety device 100.
  • the cover 225 In the second position 2P (Fig. 4), the cover 225 is misaligned relative to the side wall 226 of the enclosure 201. As will be explained below, when the cover is in the second position 2P, the bar 204 can be only in the "lowered" position (as illustrated in Fig. 4), corresponding to the opened state of the safety device 100. To cause the sliding movement between the first and second positions and vice versa, the cover 225 can be manually gripped and advantageously has an ergonomic recess 227 that facilitates this manual operation.
  • the cover 225 which is made of an electrically insulating material, comprises a front wall 228 (Fig. 1), an upper wall 229, a lower wall 230, and an outer side wall 230' and an inner side wall 229' (illustrated in Fig. 3 and 4). Furthermore, this cover extends past the enclosure 201 such that, when the reset module 200 is assembled to the safety device 100, it covers the drive lever 112 thus protecting the latter and preventing any manual contact therewith.
  • the cover 225 is such as to engage the bar 204 (and thus the drive lever 112) such as to cause, by sliding from the first 1P to the second 2P position, the rotation of the bar 204 (and the drive lever 112) with consequent switching of the safety device from the closed to the opened state.
  • the cover 225 is provided with an engaging element 231 extending inside the cover to abut against the bar 204 and cause the rotation thereof, together with the drive lever 112.
  • this abutment element 231 is embodied by a projection provided inside the upper side wall 229 such as to pull the bar 204 (at least to half the travel thereof) during the sliding of the cover 225.
  • the cover 225 comprises a door to be opened/closed 232 (Fig. 1 and Fig. 9) which allows access to the bar and particularly to a handle 242 (Fig. 6 and Fig. 9) integral with the bar, in order to rotate the same and bring the safety device 100 from the opened to the closed state, when the cover is in the first position 1P.
  • the reset module 200 includes locking means that inhibit the raising of the bar 204 and thus the closure of the safety device 100, when the cover 225 is in the second position 2P of Fig. 4.
  • these locking means are associated with the cover 225 and are embodied by a projection 233 (seen in Fig. 3 and 4) protruding from the inner side wall 229' such as to be inserted in an aperture 235 (indicated with the numeral reference only in Fig. 7) being formed in the rotating body 234.
  • the projection 233 is inserted in the slot 235 of the rotating body 234, thereby the rotation of the bar in the opposite direction is inhibited. If the cover 225 is moved from the second position back to the first position, the projection 233 is then disengaged from the slot 235 and the bar 204 can be rotated to close the safety device.
  • the reset module 200 is provided with a reset deactivation device such that, when the cover 225 has been displaced by moving the safety device from the closed to the opened state, the automatic resetting is inhibited, which would close the safety device.
  • this deactivation device is a conventional circuit-breaker (not shown) having contacts that can be opened and closed when the cover 225 slides from a suitable portion of the cover 225.
  • the reset module 200 (which may have, for example, a size equal to two DIN modules) is structurally coupled with the safety device 100 in a manner known per se, and for example, by means of clips 250 (Fig. 2) to be inserted in apertures 172 provided in the enclosure body 107 of the safety device 100.
  • These clips 250 are fixed to a respective L-shaped element 251 to be inserted in a seat (not shown) that is formed on the side wall of the enclosure 201 and to be fixed thereto by means of a screw 253 (Fig. 2).
  • the cover 225 can be adapted such as to extend and cover the front surface of the safety device 100, whatever the standardized width of the devices.
  • additional covering elements (not shown) are provided to be (removably) fittingly fixed (and preferably with screws) to the outer side wall 230' of the cover 225 to increase the size thereof.
  • the cover 225 can be provided with a through hole 255 for a padlock to be applied in the second position 2P, such that unauthorized users are prevented from causing the cover 225 to slide to the first position 1P.
  • the operating steps are as follows: automatic opening, automatic closure, manual opening and manual closure.
  • the second microswitch 222 can also generate an "open state" signal provided on one of the terminals 203 in order to signal to a remote unit that the safety device has been opened. Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the opened state, the ON/OFF indication which is normally written on the drive lever of the safety devices, is not seen because it is hidden by the (opaque) cover.
  • the reset module 200 may be provided with a window 241 (Fig. 1) from which one of two alternative indications I-ON and I-OFF can be seen.
  • the indication I-ON seen through the window 241 following an automatic opening, indicates that the reset module is in the active state.
  • the synchronous motor 206 (powered by means of an external circuit by means of the second circuit-breaker 222 of Fig. 8) causes the disk 208 to rotate (for example, in the counter-clockwise direction, with reference to Fig. 3).
  • the rotation of the disk 208 causes one of the relieves 219-222 to act on the first rod 218 thereby causing the bar 204 and the first drive lever 112 to rotate such that the safety device is moved to the closed state.
  • the first microswitch 214 of Fig. 3 and 4 is opened, after one-third of revolution, the power supply to the motor 206 being thus interrupted.
  • the safety device 100 has to be considered as being in the closed state.
  • the manual opening can be carried out by directly acting on the cover 225 (particularly, on recess 227), which is caused to slide and brought from position 1P to 2P.
  • the abutment element 231 acts on the bar 204 causing the same to rotate, and the consequent opening of the safety device 100.
  • the Fig. 3 relates to a condition in which the cover 225 is caused to slide after an automatic opening has occurred and thus the element 231 does not appear abutted against the bar 204.
  • the cover 225 by moving the cover 225 to the second position 2P, due to the projection 233 being inserted in the slot 235 of the body 234, a blockage of the bar 204 is caused, which bar cannot be rotated to close the safety device 100. Furthermore, advantageously, during the sliding movement of the cover 225, the contact of the deactivation circuit-breaker opens, thus interrupting the power supply to the motor 206, in order to inhibit the automatic resetting.
  • the window 241 will indicate the wording I-OFF to indicate the opened condition but also that the resetting, either manual or automatic, is inhibited.
  • the wordings I-ON and I-OFF are reported, for example, on a suitable portion of the cover 225 which slides below the windows 241.
  • an automatic closure can be carried out, which is provided by simple manoeuvres.
  • the cover 225 must be brought back to the first position 1P by causing the projection 233 to be disengaged from the slot 235 of the body 234.
  • the door 232 is opened (for example, manually) such as to gain access to the handle 242 which is then manually rotated to close the safety device 100.
  • the door 232 can be advantageously provided with an elastic element or other means causing the same to close again.
  • the teachings of the present invention are particularly advantageous.
  • the manual opening of the device 100 associated with the reset module 200 is particularly advantageous, since it can take place with a single manoeuvre (i.e. by acting only on cover 225 without having to remove the same to gain access to the lever 112) and in total safety, since the cover is made of an insulating material and the drive lever 112 is not accessible.
  • the mechanical lock of the bar 204 when the cover is in the second position 2P, can be removed only by bringing the cover 225 to the first position 1P, this prevents any inadvertent manual resetting.
  • the inhibition of the resetting, due to the deactivation circuit-breaker, when the cover is moved to the second position 2P also contributes to the safety of the inventive electrical assembly.
  • the fact that the signalling of the opened state (I-OFF, at window 232) is provided only when it is ensured that the automatic resetting is inhibited makes the inventive assembly particularly safe.
  • reset module employs a synchronous motor which ensures the resetting after a few seconds from opening, thereby being much faster than the known module, which uses a thermal actuator before activating the resetting.
