Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an actuating device for an electrical switch device.
  • the invention also relates to an electrical switch device incorporating such an actuating device.
  • the actuating device is for example offset relative to the electrical switch device.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device for actuating an electrical device that is easy to use, compact and low cost.
  • the drive mechanism consists of a rod having a first end secured to the locking member and a second end secured to the sliding member.
  • the rod is rotatably mounted on the handle.
  • the locking member and the sliding member are each slidably mounted respectively at the first end and the second end of the rod.
  • the drive mechanism comprises a gear wheel cooperating with corresponding teeth formed on the one hand on the sliding element and on the other hand on the locking member.
  • the locking member comprises a button integral in translation thereof, for actuating the locking device.
  • the locking member comprises a rod adapted to engage, in the locking position, in a corresponding orifice formed through the body.
  • a return spring is mounted on the locking member urging the locking member to the unlocking position.
  • the sliding element protrudes outside the handle and, in the unlocked position, it is flush with the handle.
  • the actuating device may comprise a device for inhibiting the locking device.
  • the actuating device is offset relative to the switch electrical apparatus and the handle cooperates with a transmission shaft secured to a rotating movable member of the switch electrical apparatus.
  • the actuating device defined above is particularly suitable for controlling an electrical switch device.
  • the actuating device 1 is for example remote from the electrical switch device and mounted on the door of an electrical cabinet to allow the operator to manipulate the electrical device without opening the cabinet electric.
  • Such actuating devices are well known in the prior art and are for example used for controlling a circuit breaker.
  • a remote actuating device 1 comprises a body 10 on which is mounted a rotary lever 2 whose rotational movement about a principal axis (A) is integral with that of a transmission axis 3 responsible for transmitting the movement of the handle 2 to a rotary member of the electrical switch device present in the cabinet, said rotary member controlling the opening or closing of electrical contacts in the apparatus.
  • the lever 2 is fixed on a support 30 of the transmission shaft 3, for example by means of a screw 31, the said axle support 30 being integral with the head 32 of the transmission shaft 3 and disposed of coaxial manner with respect to the axis 3.
  • a ball bearing 4 is positioned coaxially between the body 10 and the axis support 30 to allow the rotation of the handle 2 relative to the body 10.
  • the spindle support 30 has the shape of a cap consisting of a cap 300 receiving the head 32 of the transmission shaft 3, extended outwardly of an annular plate 301.
  • the actuating device 1 comprises a locking device mounted on the handle 2 and for locking the rotation of the handle 2 when the latter is in its "off” position.
  • the locking device comprises a sliding element 20 integral with the lever 2 and extractable thereof and a locking member 21, both movable in translation along the main axis (A) between an unlocking position and a locking position of knob rotation 2.
  • the handle 2 has a housing 24 in which is housed the extractable sliding member 20.
  • the sliding element 20 has an opening 200, for example oblong, through which it is possible to pass padlocks to prevent the return of the sliding element 20 in its housing 22 and thus to lock the actuating device 1.
  • This sliding element 20 is movable in translation along the main axis (A). According to an alternative embodiment, this opening can be defined between the sliding element 20 and the lever 2.
  • the sliding element 20 In the unlocking position (FIGS. 1A and 2A), the sliding element 20 is flush with the handle 2 while in the locking position (FIGS. 1B and 2B) it protrudes with respect to the handle 2 in order to disengage its opening 200 provided to receive padlocks.
  • the locking member 21 comprises a rod 210 adapted to move in translation along the main axis (A) and intended to pass through an orifice 100 formed through the body 10 of the device 1.
  • This orifice 100 is in contact with only when the handle 2 is in its "off” position.
  • the rod 210 can engage in this orifice 100 to lock the rotation of the handle 2 when the lever 2 is in the "Off” position.
  • a second port 302 is also provided through the axle holder 30, opposite the rod 210.
  • a third port 101 is provided on another part of the body 10. This third port 101 is located in vis-à-vis the rod 210 only when the handle 2 is in the "Off” position and is located in the same axis as the orifice 100.
  • the locking member 21 also comprises a button 211 mounted on the outside of the actuating device, integral in translation with the rod 210 and for actuating the locking device.
  • a button 211 mounted on the outside of the actuating device, integral in translation with the rod 210 and for actuating the locking device.
  • the translational movement of the locking member 21 is accompanied by a corresponding movement of the sliding member 20 by using a drive mechanism (22a, 22b) mounted on the handle 2.
  • This drive mechanism (22a , 22b) makes it possible to transform the translational movement of the locking member 21 along the main axis (A) and in a given direction into a translation movement of the sliding element 20 along the main axis (A) and in the opposite direction to that of the locking member 21.
  • a pressure on the button 211 of the locking member 21 thus causes an extraction of the sliding element 20.
  • the extraction of the sliding element 20 out of the lever 2 makes it possible to disengage its opening 200 in order to be able to pass padlocks (not shown) allowing the locking of the rotation of the lever 2 when the latter is in the position "Stop". If the handle 2 is not in the "off" position, the rod 210 of the locking member 21 abuts against the body 10 of the device 1 and the extraction of the sliding element 20 out of the handle 2 is impossible or in any case insufficient to be able to insert the padlocks.
  • the second orifice 302 provided through the axle support 30 and the third orifice 101 also provided through the body 10 only allow the rod 210 to continue its translation during locking and thus the sliding member 20 to extract enough to be able to pass the padlocks through the opening 200.
  • the drive mechanism consists of a link 22a rotatably mounted on the handle 2 and having an end secured to the sliding element 20 and another end integral with the locking member 21 and more particularly the button 211 thereof.
  • the rod 22a has for example at each of its ends two oblong openings 220 in which are mounted the sliding element 20 and the button 211.
  • the drive mechanism consists of a toothed wheel 22b rotatably mounted on the handle 2 and cooperating with corresponding teeth 220b, 221b formed of one side on the sliding element 20 along the main axis (A) and on the other side parallel to the button 211 of the locking member 21.
  • pressing the button 211 to lock the rotation of the lever 2 engages the teeth 221b of the button 211 on the toothed wheel 22b which causes the rotation of the toothed wheel 22b, the latter causing, in the opposite direction to that the pressure of the button 211, the extraction of the sliding element 20 to clear the opening 200 provided for the passage of padlocks.
  • the locking member 21 is for example mounted on a spring 23 urging the button 211 in the unlocking direction and thus the retraction of the sliding element 20 in its housing 24 provided on the handle 2.
  • the spring 23 is for example helical type and is placed in a housing of the handle 2 and around the rod 210 of the locking member. The spring 23 is supported at one end against the button 211 and at its other end against the handle 2.
  • a device 5 for inhibiting the locking device consists of a sliding part, mounted on the body 10 and accessible from outside the actuating device 1, coming to be interposed on the translation path of the locking member 21 by closing the passage provided for the rod 210 ( Figure 1A).
  • the rod 210 can not deploy completely during locking, the extraction of the sliding element 20 is then insufficient to be able to pass padlocks.
  • the drive mechanism 22a, 22b cooperates with the locking member 21 and with the sliding element 20 and makes it possible to convert the translation movement of the one in a given direction into a translation movement of the other in the opposite direction.
  • the locking member 21 can be actuated not by pressing the button 211 but by extracting the sliding element 20.
